Rundown (2003)

Reviewed on Oct 13, 2004

The Rock is cool, a good action hero. Not too cocky and kinda funny. Scott is also really good, and he’s also a bit built, too. I see bigger things for him in the future. Lots of good action (although the wire stunts weren’t perfect) and some really cool photography…

I Spy (2002)

Reviewed on Oct 1, 2004

Very funny. Wilson’s comedy and gags are hilarious, and Murphy returns to his ghetto comedy roots for the first time in years. They’re a great team.

Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)

Reviewed on Jul 4, 2004

Amazingly put together. For a documentary, it‚Äôs raising the bar. I can‚Äôt imagine how many man-hours went into collecting the archival footage and editing it together so effectively. Moore effectively delivers his statement. Five minutes into it, I was already hating Bush, and for the rest of the film, Moore…

The Day After Tomorrow (2004)

Reviewed on Jun 5, 2004

Pretty good, probably the perfect film for Emmerich to make. Light on story (every moment feels like a plot point) and character, but a grandiose stage for some really nice effects. All of the effects are very real-looking, and the closing shot of the planet was spectacular. The Statue of…

The Natural (1984)

Reviewed on May 31, 2004

Another period piece by Levinson that’s a bit long and slow. Elements of Pride Of The Yankees, Eight Men Out, and Major League. Does every baseball movie have to have an underdog hero, goofy teammates, scrupulous owners, and an out-of-reach love interest? Hobbs is a bit shady, so it’s hard…

Troy (2004)

Reviewed on May 18, 2004

Was very excited about this one, but it falls a bit flat because the characters are not very well-developed. Bana is pretty good but I’m beginning to wonder if he’s really as talented as I thought he was after I first saw Chopper. Pitt’s OK, not quite as stunning as…

Office Space (1999)

Reviewed on May 14, 2004

Coming from Mike Judge, I was afraid it would be cartoonish and dumb, but it was OK. Just a bit of overacting, and a few funny moments. Wish it was just a bit more subtle. Paul Willson looks just like Diedrich Bader.

Above the Law (1988)

Reviewed on May 13, 2004

Seagal’s got some cool moves, but I’ve never bought into him as an action hero. He’s balding and he runs like a faggot. Chicks in his movies love him for no reason.
