Top notch samurai action tying in fiction with history of the 47 Ronin
Samurai Vendetta certainly gets off to a rousing start.<br /><br />Shintaru Katsu of Zatoichi fame plays Nakayama Yasubei. He is running towards a duel between two rival sword schools, one of which involves his uncle. He arrives to find his family almost done for and takes upon the opposing swordsman all by himself, even at one time taking on the two sword style of Miyamoto Musashi before vanquishing his foes. Of course the defeated school wants revenge and hence the title of the film. The school goes to extreme length including kidnapping and rape to save face.<br /><br />There’s another layer to the story as well as Yasubei joins the Asano clan. Its lord was forced to commit ritual suicide for breaking the rules of the Shogunate household. Asano’s retainers including Yasubei would seek revenge in what has become the famous story of the 47 Ronin, renowned in Japanese history. Their attack ends the film.<br /><br />The film is definitely dramatic and full of swordplay. The action was really good and so was the story. It mixed the personal revenge of Nakayama with that of the Asano clan.<br />C

A chilling horror story
Frailty is a chilling horror story. Matthew McConaughey goes to see FBI agent Powers Boothe and tells him that his brother had been following in his father’s footsteps to kill demons. The father was played by Bill Paxton who also directed the movie.<br /><br />The story is told by McConaughey using a voice over and flashbacks. The story just gets crazier and crazier as it progresses. I actually guessed the twist at the end but it didn’t diminish the plot at all. McConaughey goes through a subtle transformation as the story goes along. You have to see his face by the end.

A bloody fun time
This movie had a lot of laughs and was far bloodier than I expected. The story revolves around Brad Pitt as a special agent for hire who has given up killing and is sent to retrieve a briefcase from a Japanese bullet train. He runs into nothing but trouble with several assassins upon the train. The story weaves together all different characters and eventually connects them into a giant montage.<br /><br />The charm came from the actors. Each one had a distinct personality and provided the comedy. Brian Tyree Henry for example meets people, assesses them, and then labels them according to the different trains featured in the kids show Thomas & Friends. Diesels for example are nothing but trouble. He even has a sticker sheet of the different trains which he puts on people after he figures them out. Pitt on the other hand has given up killing because he latched onto a self-help guru. He keeps on trying to explain the man’s philosophy to others but no one wants to listen to him. Not only that but he messes up the guy’s teaching.<br /><br />Mixed in with the comedy is a lot of action scenes featuring a lot of blood. Henry and his brother Aaron Tyler Johnson for instance argue over how many people they killed before getting on the Bullet Train so they remember the whole event which includes shooting people in the head and skewering them with samurai swords.<br /><br />Finally, I thought the writing was good as well. It was able to create a large ensemble cast and slowly but surely reveal how each played a role in the overall plot.

Powerful legal drama that goes into nuts & bolts of case to defend against a Holocaust denier
Rachel Weisz is Deborah Lipstadt a Professor at Emory University who specializes in the Holocaust. At a speech David Irving a Holocaust denier confronts her and later files a lawsuit against her for libel. The movie focuses upon this true court case.<br /><br />There are some very powerful moments in the film. For instance they go to Auschwitz to find out how to prove that it was an extermination camp. They walk through the remains of one of the gas chambers and discuss the details about how people were killed there.<br /><br />Wiesz’s character is demanding but also a bit out of her element. As an American she has no understanding of the British legal system and constantly questions what’s going on. She also doesn’t agree with her legal teams strategy and always argues with them. The biggest dispute is that her lawyers want the case to be about Irving while Lipstadt wants it to be about the Holocaust and she doesn’t see why. Again, it leads to all kinds of disputes which keep the plot interesting.<br /><br />It all makes for a very engaging legal drama.<br />C

Starts off like a classic Kung Fu flick but then goes downhill
I have no idea where this title came from because it’s got nothing to do with Bruce Lee. That being said this is a classic Kung Fu flick. At the beginning for instance, there’s the story of the monk that taught the martial arts to the Shaolin temple and began some of the classic styles like the snake and tiger. In the second half though the movie starts falling apart with some over the top sequences.<br /><br />The story is about student Bruce Li and his master Sing Chen restoring the honor of Shaolin by tracking down the killer Michael Wai-Man. The funny thing is Li’s friend is actually the star for the first half of the film. Despite that the movie all about the action. The fight sequences are fast and well choreographed and there’s a lot of them. Then they do the ridiculous and have Li and Chen fight some gorillas?!?!?!?! Added to that are Malaysian tribes living out in the wilderness. Yes, the plot definitely took a downhill turn in the last third of the film.

Fitting end to Roger Moore as 007
A View To A Kill was Roger Moore’s last outing as James Bond. After getting out of hand with some over the top plots like The Spy Who Loved Me and starting to become a mockery of itself such as Moonraker the producers tried to bring things down to Earth and this was an example. Bond was assigned to investigate high-tech millionaire Max Zorin (Christopher Walken) and found out he was involved in all kinds of illegal activities ranging from racehorses to microchips.<br /><br />The movie was full of good characters. Most impressive was Grace Jones as May Day Zorin’s bodyguard and lover who had superhuman strength. She was one of the most bad ass women characters in any Bond film. Christopher Walken played a great Bond villain. I always enjoy watching his acting. Finally, Patrick Macnee played Sir Godfrey Tidbbett who works with Bond. He began working in British TV on the Avengers show the same time Moore did with The Saint. By this time they were both getting up in the years, but it was nice to see them together.<br /><br />This all made A View To A Kill a fitting goodbye to Roger Moore as James Bond.<br />C

Mastework of storytelling dialogue characters & action
I’d seen True Romance which Quentin Tarantino had written and Reservoir Dogs, his first feature film which was a mind blower, but nothing prepared me for Pulp Fiction when I saw it in a theater. The movie was a ground breaker while borrowing from dozens of previous films. It is a true cinematic classic.<br /><br />The plot has four main stories which are intertwined and shown through a variety of flash backs and present scenes which play with the idea of what a narrative is supposed to be. The opening for example shows Pumpkin (Tim Roth) and his girlfriend Honey Bunny (Amanda Plummer) talking about carrying out a robbery in a dinner before they jump up on the tables and chairs and tell everyone to put their hands up, they’re sticking the place up. Then there’s two gangster henchmen Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) who are given a job to retrieve a very important briefcase for their boss Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames). In a separate story arch Vega also has the job to take his boss’s wife Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman) out on a date. Finally, Butch (Bruce Willis) who was supposed to throw a fight for Wallace, but has a change of heart.<br /><br />Pulp Fiction builds on many techniques that Tarantino originally used in Reservoir Dogs. The flash backs and intermixing of stories for example was used in that film, and has its origins in Akira Kurosawa’s Rashomon. For instance, the third major scene has Vega and Jules going to see Marsellus, which happened chronologically after the very last scene of the film. The love of dialogue is another. Tarantino originally had a way to tell stories that was almost completely original. Vega and Jules for example are talking on their drive to their job and discuss how hamburgers and friends are named differently in Europe because they have the metric system so they can’t be called “Quarter Pounders”, and they also use mayonnaise on their fries. Later they talk about the intimacies of foot messages. The best example however is when Jules gives a speech to one of the men he has to collect the briefcase from. The man is so flustered that all he can say is what and Jules grows angrier and angrier until eventually threatening him if he says what again. He then gives a quote from the Bible, Ezekiel 25:27, which was taken from a Japanese film called The Bodyguard/Karate Kiba featuring Sonny Chiba who would go on to be seen in Tarantino’s Kill Bill. Today, Tarantino has completely lost control of his dialogue such as in Death Proof, the Hateful Eight and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, but this was when he was still fresh and exciting and it just adds to the story rather than detracts. Another thing similar between Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction was spates of extreme violence. It’s not just shooting people however, there’s a very crazy S&M-rape scene involving Butch and Marsellus that just blew people’s minds when they originally saw it. Finally, as should be obvious Tarantino is a movie lover and used all kinds of influences in all of his films. Besides the ones already mentioned another famous one is the dance scene between Vega and Mia Wallace where they do the Twist at a restaurant. That is liberally borrowed from 8 ½ by Federico Fellini.<br /><br />It’s these elements combined with a completely original story that make Pulp Fiction such an amazing movie to this day.<br />C

Heroism Egotism Hubris History Politics & Race all mixed together
I was as excited to watch The Watchmen series on DVD as I was when it originally came out on HBO. The show has several themes from heroism, to egotism and hubris to not forgetting the past mixed in with race. It captured some of the style of the original comic and movie by having flashbacks to old times when heroes were first being created, includes some of the main characters, and continued with the political messages as well something some critics seem to overlook.<br /><br />The series had two storylines that converge at the end. One is about Regina King as a policewoman in Tulsa fighting a white supremacist group called the Seventh Kavalry. In the process she finds out about her past which was hidden from her. They tie that in with the 1921 Tulsa Massacre where African Americans were slaughtered in the city. I thought I knew black history but this show actually introduced me to the tragedy. The recreation which starts the first episode is shocking. This part obviously involves heroes, the past, politics and race.<br /><br />The other plot ties in with the comic/movie about a much older Ozymandias played by Jeremy Irons and his plan to save the world from nuclear holocaust. He’s been exiled while inspiring another like minded genius. That’s where the egotism and hubris come in.<br /><br />The best part of the show was that in every episode they revealed something surprising and new. That’s pretty hard to do in any series even one with just 9 episodes like this one. It also connects with the original material with not only Ozymandias but Jean Smart as Lauri Blake aka Sally Jupiter, members of the original Minutemen like Captain Metropolis and Hooded Justice, along with others. The new characters were interesting as well from King to a paranoid Tim Blake Nelson. Of course there was action as well and no one could predict where it ended up. That made it a fantastic superhero story.

Will Farrell's rants and breakdowns is the only good thing about this movie
Bewitched was one of a number of films made based upon the nostalgia of Hollywood producers for TV shows they grew up watching. Just like the original this is a light hearted family comedy. That means the jokes are very tame. Despite that Will Farrell as Darren is able to bring some of his magic to the screen like when he has fits and acts like a man child Farrell’s specialty. In fact, Farrell’s little rants and breakdowns is the only appealing part of this movie which falls flat otherwise. I didn’t care about Nicole Kidman as Samantha struggling not to be a witch, be on the TV show or the romantic comedy she had with Farrell.

One of the very best in the Zatoichi franchsie emphasizing the suffering of the common people
Zatoichi The Outlaw was the 16th film in the franchise released in 1967. It also marked the first movie made by Katsu Productions, the company of the star of the series Katsu Shintaro.<br /><br />The Outlaw is about a common theme throughout all the Zatoichi films, corruption in ancient Japan. Zatoichi comes to a town which has faced several years of bad crops. That has led many of the farmers into gambling due to their destitute situations. Things begin with the local official banning festivals. He then reverses course after receiving a bribe from a Yakuza boss (gangster). That boss then is able to run his gambling joints where he swindles peasants out of their money and then kidnaps them. He’s also at war with another boss in the next village who at first seems to have a much different approach to the locals, but then turns out to be much worse. On the other hand there is a ronin (masterless) samurai who is trying to change the way of the poor by arguing for a purer life without gambling, and with better farming techniques. He becomes the focus of the government who think he’s starting a rebellion. Into this mix comes Zatoichi who as usual becomes the champion of the common people against those trying to take advantage of them. This one really pushes how evil the government officials and yakuza were, working hand and hand to exploit and oppress the people.<br /><br />All of the Zatoichi movies always take up these themes and have dice games, Yakuza, ronin, swordplay, and a woman fallen into trouble. The movies by Katsu Productions also added some comedy as well such as when a group of blindmen all set upon each other with Zatoichi in the middle of things. There’s also a bit more gore in the fight scenes such as when Zatoichi cuts the head off of an opponent. This one really stands out as one of the best of the entire franchise because of its emphasis upon how the common people could suffer.<br />C

Just as good as 1st 2 seasons w/return of some characters & new sketches
By season three Key and Peele had established some repeat characters. You have Pres Obama and his anger translator Luther. There’s the substitute teacher, the football players with the ridiculous names, and the doormen talking about movies. To those mainstays they added some new and successful skits like the meeting of black Republicans, the boxer lovers, the guy who won’t pour out his beer for his dead friends, criticizing the Gothic look of a vampire coven, and Peele talking in his sleep. They also flipped to the translator sketch by adding one for Michelle Obama.<br /><br />As with every comedy series nothing is going to be perfect with the number of skits and episodes they had to produce, but if you like the earlier Key and Peele though you’ll like the third.

Milk and Cookies. Serial Killers & Showers. Some things just go together - like sketch masters Key & Peele. They and their characters are back - bringing their honest, unvarnished and always brilliantly funny take on pop culture, race and society. From returning faves (substitute teacher!) to fresh material (paintboobs!), this is one perfect pair. KEY AND PEELE SEASON THREE is one not to be missed!.

Counterculture & women's liberation but the movie is so damn boring
This was George Romero’s third film. It has a surreal beginning with Joan Mitchell constantly seeing visions from a baby by itself in the woods to her husband putting her in a dog kennel. It also has a great theme song by Donovan. The story itself however meanders along and is downright boring at times. It was a real struggle to stay attentive during most of the movie. They try to tie things into the counterculture and even women’s liberation with witchcraft a means to escape oppressive marriages but it’s so damn boring.

Nas and DMX try to get into the drug game
Belly is about Nas and DMX going from two heist men to trying to make it big in the drug game. You can guess, things don’t turn out well. The film was the brainchild of Hype Williams who made his name directing rap videos. You can see that influence throughout the movie with things like filters on the cameras to give a dark hue to all the shots. It introduces some interesting characters like a female assassin from Jamaica. Nas and DMX start off being like brothers but then move apart with Nas becoming philosophical and reflective about his situation especially because he’s got a stable relationship and family while DMX stays with the streets. I’m not totally sold on the ending but overall it was a nice gritty crime drama.

Was a lot of fun and didn't take itself seriously
This was a good take on the 80s TV show. It captured the planning and action of the original plus didn’t take itself that seriously which made it better than usual. I especially liked casting Sharito Copley as Howling Mad Murdock. I’ve always enjoyed his acting and his character was certifiably crazy which added to the fun of the movie. He also steals a lot of the scenes that he’s in. All together that’s what made this better than your usual action flick.

Just couldn't get into the story
I thought I was going to like this movie but I just couldn’t get into it. It pits Viggo Mortensen a fraudster against Oscar Isaac a small time hustler in Greece. In between them is Mortensen’s wife Kirsten Dunst. At first they verbally duel, but then they fight and then try to outsmart each other. I just could not buy into their conflict. I kept hoping it would get better but it didn’t.

Saw it as a kid and still enjoy it today
This was a childhood favorite of mine. I saw it a couple times at a drive in theater. Having grown up watching Japanese kids TV shows this was right up my alley. The story is about a conquered people who find unlikely heroes in a bunch of racers and an ex-general. The movie was directed by Kinji Fukasaku and had the highest production costs of any movie up to that time in Japan. The movie definitely has the feel of a movie aimed at kids especially watching it today. Still it has giant spaceships, battle scenes and huge model sets of the surface of planets. The Star Wars influence is obvious as well. A very young Hiroyuki Sanada who is now an international star is one of the heroes along with his mentor Sonny Chiba.

Start of a new franchise about a CIA killer gone rogue
When this movie came out it was the only game in town for high intensity, secret agent action. James Bond had died under Pierce Brosnan. There hadn’t been a Mission Impossible film for a while. Not only that but Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) was something different. He wasn’t a government agent. Rather he’d been trained by the CIA to be a killer but suffered from amnesia. The story is about him trying to figure out who he is and what the CIA did to him.<br /><br />Besides Bourne not working for the U.S. government there were other differences. First, rather than using special effects or gadgets the action sequences went for realism. Second, much of the story was a mystery as Bourne tried to figure out his past. Last, the people chasing Bourne were the CIA not your usual bad guys. It made for a good mix that only get better over the following films.

Young fighter has to prove himself before he can seek revenge
The Unbeaten 28 is about revenge. A baby was delivered to a Kung Fu master to learn the martial arts so that he could restart the Wu Tang Clan and revenge his slain father. The movie has plenty of training which was a popular Hong Kong trope. The twist was that he had to pass through an obstacles course with all kinds of challenges to prove he was ready to achieve his destiny. That included fighting rock monsters and solving riddles. It was a nice twist to the usual Kung Fu flick.

Pam Grier was the sexiest avenging angel ever
Foxy Brown was one of Pam Grier’s best known roles in the 1970s when she got her start. It was released in 1974 and basically adapted the story of her previous release Coffy which came out the year before. Both were about getting revenge. In Coffy Grier went after a group of gangsters for getting her little sister strung out on drugs. In Foxy Brown she goes after a drug-prostitution ring that kills her lover and her brother.<br /><br />Even more than Coffy this film plays off of Grier’s sex appeal. Some of the outfits she wears are jaw dropping.<br /><br />It also has some signs of the times as Coffy goes to a black power group to help her out against the gang at the end.<br /><br />If you want action, sex, black nationalism and some gangsters Foxy Brown is your kind of movie.<br />C

More mindless fun with Glover and Gibson
Lethal Weapon 2 returned with the odd couple buddy cop duo of Danny Glover and Mel Gibson. They still had the banter and jokes between the two with plenty of action but added more comedy with the addition of Joe Pesci who joins Glover and Gibson in their hunt for a group of South African criminals. That allows some politics to be thrown in with protests against apartheid. It’s also amazing because not a single thing Glover and Gibson do is legal in real life. It all adds up to some mindless fun.

"Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?"
Rush Hour was the beginning of a beautiful relationship between Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. The point of the Rush Hour series was to mix some cop action with martial arts and comedy and the two actors were perfect for that. Chan was an Asian martial arts star who always took a humorous take on his movies and Tucker was a comedian. In this series Chan would play the straight guy and Tucker the jokester in this buddy police classic.<br /><br />In this first film an infamous criminal known as Juntao was stealing Chinese artifacts and kidnaps the Chinese Consul in Los Angeles’ daughter. Chan as Detective Lee comes to America to rescue the girl. The Los Angeles police consider him a nuisance and give a delinquent cop Detective James Carter (Tucker) the job of distracting him from the case. Instead the two carry out their own investigation and get in a bunch of trouble as a result.<br /><br />Director Brent Ratner was heavily influenced by Bruce Lee movies. The opening sequence of a panoramic view of Hong Kong and music by Lao Schifrin were borrowed from Enter The Dragon. He also incorporated some of Chan’s stunts and techniques in the action sequences like in the final confrontation.<br /><br />Chan and Tucker were fantastic at playing off each other. There are many memorable moments between the two. For instance when they first meet Tucker yells at Chan and asks him “Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?” Tucker is yelling playing upon the American stereotype that the way to talk to people that don’t speak English is to raise their voice. Another time Tucker tries to show Chan how to sing and dance to War by Edwin Starr.<br /><br />In the end everyone involved delivered a very satisfying film.<br />C

Very intense war film set in Vietnam in 1966
Danger Close is about an Australian-New Zealand army unit that gets trapped in a battle with an overwhelming force of Vietcong in Vietnam in 1966. The title comes from the fact that they’re almost overrun and call in artillery to hit their own location. It’s based upon a true story.<br /><br />The movie comes in waves just like the attacking Vietnamese. The Australians and New Zealanders are spread out into different platoons and each one gets hit separately. The combat is realistic, intense and gets extremely desperate. The fighting also takes up almost the entire film.<br /><br />It all adds up to a very good war film.<br />C

Over the top Japanese exploitation
Shintao Katsu who was famous for his Zatoichi series made three Hanzo The Razor films. There are one of the most bizarre movies in Japanese exploitation. That’s because Katsu plays a detective in the Edo Period Japan who uses his wits and sex to solve cases. That includes crazy scenes where he trains his private part through flagellation and has sex with women to force them to give him information. Along the way there are corrupt officials, a mystery and plenty of samurai action. It’s definitely not for everyone but I personally love it the story is so over the top.

Some mindless fun with a bunch of old and new action heroes
The Expendables was Sylvester Stallone’s idea of collecting together a group of action heroes from the past and present and putting them all together in one movie. Better yet, most of them would be on the same team. The film features Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, plus Steve Austin as a bad guy and special guest appearances by Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Stallone’s team is one big dysfunctional mercenary team. They get a mission from Willis to overthrow an island dictator named General Garza (David Zayas).<br /><br />Despite all the big egos on screen the movie takes a light mood. The team cracks jokes for instance and they make fun of each other.<br /><br />That along with all the action helps make up for the razor thin story.<br /><br />If you want to see a bit of mindless fun the Expendables would be a good candidate.

Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler do it again
I really liked the other movies Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore were in so I was hoping for more of the same from Blended and I was not disappointed. This is another romantic comedy between the two but with a twist. This time they are both single parents with 5 kids between them. The children are what actually bring the two together. Of course there are plenty of funny moments as well. My favorite was Terry Crews randomly showing up and singing a song about blended families. It is hilarious and I laughed out loud every time he appeared on screen. The most important thing was the chemistry between Sandler and Barrymore. It feels like they have a real connection and they should after doing several movies together.

De Niro gets to poke fun at all his gangster roles
What happens when an American mafia family under a witness protection program led by Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer move into a small French town? Nothing good. That’s the plot of The Family. It sets up all kinds of comedic moments from Pheiffer blowing up a store after some French people talk bad about the U.S. to their daughter beating up some boys that were trying to pick her up. De Niro is obviously famous for his mafia roles and here he gets to play around with them. They even reference one of De Niro’s gangster movies which was unexpected and fun. I didn’t know what to expect from this movie but I was thoroughly surprised and would highly recommend it.

One of the best samurai series from the 60s with plenty of action vs the rich & corrupt
This collection features the last four films in the Sleepy Eyes of Death series. This was one of the most successful set of films released in Japan in the 1960s. They are like Film Noir with a cynical hero, women throwing themselves at him, and an array of powerful and corrupt villains he has to dispatch.<br /><br />The first release A Trail of Traps continues the series exploitation style handling of Christianity. It begins with another retelling of the birth of the hero Nemuri Kyoshiro in a Satanic ritual by a Portuguese priest who raped his mother. He’s then contacted by an official who is trying to keep a golden statue of the Virgin Mary safe from a Satanic group called the Black Fingers Cult. In ancient Japan Christianity was banned and the Sleepy Eyes of Death plays upon that history portraying the religion as an evil brought to the country by foreigners.<br /><br />In Hell Is A Woman two different factions of the Saeki clan ask Kyoshiro for help to seize power. As usual they employ women to either entice him or kill him. He even runs into a blind woman that first tries to seduce Kyoshiro and then slay him by spitting darts at him. Basically everywhere the hero turns there are women trying to manipulate him hence the title.<br /><br />In The Spider’s Lair two children of the Shogun amuse themselves by torturing and killing people believing that their positions give them the right to do anything to anyone. This is another story of excess by the powerful that Kyoshiro has to right.<br /><br />Finally, in Castle Menagerie Kyoshiro is being framed for a number of murders and rape by someone trying to impersonate him. That leads to all kinds of people chasing after him including ninja sent from the Shogunate. It turns out that the Shogun’s harem is trying ot use his name in their own plots within the court to eliminate rivals.<br /><br />All 12 movies in the series are something to watch. They lay out the stories right at the start and then get down to the action as Kyoshiro slices and dices his way through his opponents. He may act like he doesn’t care but he despises the powerful manipulating the common people.<br />C

2nd half plays out like a soap opera
The Valley of the Dolls is a familiar story about a young woman, Barbara Parkins, from a small town heading to the big city to try to find herself and start a career. She meets two aspiring performers, singer Patty Duke and actress Sharon Tate. The story has two major themes. One is professional women and their lives. The other is the entertainment industry. In some ways the movie represented the cultural changes going on in 1960s America such as drugs. On the other hand, it was still traditional such as finding happiness not with a job but with a man. It also went into some of the dirty little secrets of the entertainment business like addiction, older stars trying to shut out young new talent, and more. Duke stands out as the bratty singer even though she overacts most of her scenes. Parkins is dull in comparison. Tate might be the most sympathetic character as she continuously gets screwed. Overall the movie is actually pretty tame and the second half plays out like a soap opera.

Robbed Kurt Russell of any personality in this film
Soldier is a sci-fi dystopian story where the world has fallen into constant war. A society breeds soldiers from birth training them to have no mercy. It stars Kurt Russell as Sergeant Todd 3465. The government has come up with a new improved soldier however making 3465 obsolete. The story is about what he does afterward.<br /><br />Soldier was a different kind of part for Russell. He was known for his fast talking in many of his movies during this period. Here he was almost mute as his soldier’s training didn’t allow him to talk except when spoken to. When he arrives with a group of settlers for example he largely stares at them. That removes one of the major draws of a Russell film. That means in the end, while Russell gets to prove he’s an action hero by single handedly taking on a slew of the new and improved soldiers he gets no personality at all with this character.<br />C

If you're an Ultraman fan this should be in your collection
Ultraman and Ultra Seven are by far the best of the best of the long running Ultra series. Ultraman grew out of the Ultra Q sci-fi TV show. The stories are serious about aliens, monsters and unusual events with the Science Patrol investigating and then Ultraman showing up to save the day. The kaiju are well done and some really stand out like Baltan. Later on the franchise went completely for the kids with silly stories and ridiculous monsters like chicken and bull beasts. Ultraman stands far above those later iterations.<br /><br />The DVD menu gives you the option to watch the shows in the original Japanese or dubbed in English. This was a bit plus because I’m not hot on always reading subtitles.<br /><br />If you’re an Ultraman fan this needs to be in your collection.

A story of revenge
The story of Snake Deadly Act is very basic. A martial artists vows revenge upon a family and ends up following around the son who does things like save a prostitute and more. What I liked about the movie were the characters the son runs into like a madam who fought with a sword or Bolo showing up as a strongman. The bad guy also has a plan to divide the family which was good as well. Not bad for what having a very simple premise for the plot.

Guy Ritche's best? I think so
The general consensus seems to be that Snatch is Guy Richie’s best film. I have to disagree. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels was his debut, the first movie of his that I saw and I think is his standout. It has all of his best elements from an engaging crew of characters led by Jason Statham before he was an action hero, British criminals, some comedy and a fantastic soundtrack.<br /><br />The characters are the first thing that stands out. Besides Statham and his three friends who are the leads there are plenty of others from Rory Breaker (Vas Blackwood) a crazed gangster to Big Chris (Vinnie Jones) who is a collection man to Gary (Victor McGuire) and Dean (Jake Abraham) who are two bumbling criminals. Each one gets their own moment to shine.<br /><br />Crime was the theme of Richie’s first few films and in this case Statham and company fall into debt with a porn king and mobster Hatchet Harry (P.H. Moriarty) and decide to rip off some stick up artists. Things go completely wrong which showed some innovative and humorous writing.<br /><br />Finally, at each turn there’s also the perfect song like James Brown’s The Boss or The Stooges’ I Wanna Be Your Dog. Plus there’s funny moments like when someone at a pub turns the station on Rory while he’s watching a football game. Rory proceeds to light the man on fire.<br /><br />All together it’s a perfect match of elements.

British imperialism was bad but the fight for independence was worse
I can only guess that a white liberal made this film. It’s set during the Mau Mau rebellion against the British in Kenya in 1950. The general message was that British imperialism wasn’t the greatest but the Mau Mau were worse. They were ruthless killers that destroyed innocent lives. This is told through the eyes of a little boy who becomes a servant for a white family but gets threatened by the Mau Maus. I would not recommend this film.

Absolutely amazing A bank robbery like you’ver never seen before
Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster, Willem Dafoe, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Christopher Plummer directed by Spike Lee. How could one go wrong with that powerful line-up? Together they made Inside Man a heist film, and one of Lee’s all-time great creations. The movie is so smart, the acting is so strong that they alone could have carried the film. The twists at the end, just took it to another level.<br /><br />Things start with Clive Owen giving a monologue directly into the camera about his caper. There’s a close up of his face as he says his name is Dalton Russell, that’s the who. The where he says is a prison cell. Pay attention to that because it helps explain the astonishing conclusion. The what is the perfect crime. The why was the money, and also because he could, meaning his self-assurance and diligent planning. Together Owen and his crew take over the Manhattan Trust. Denzel Washington as Detective Keith Frazier and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Detective Bill Mitchell are the detectives put in charge of the negotiations to release the hostages taken inside the bank. Christopher Plummer as Arthur Case plays the bank owner, and Jodie Foster as Madeleine White is a powerful New York City fixer who is hired by Plummer to make sure his secret, which is contained with Manhattan Trust, is not revealed.<br /><br />One of the first things that hits you is how great the writing by Russell Gewirtz was in laying out the crime. Russell has all the hostages dress the same so no one knows who anyone else is. They are also constantly shifted from room to room to keep them disoriented. On top of that, the criminals have the same jump suits on and mix in with the hostages with one of them even getting in trouble so that at the end everyone is in the dark about who the possible robbers are. Russell also constantly outsmarts the cops by playing games with them, dragging out the process so that he can pull off the heist.<br /><br />Next is the acting. Everyone is outstanding. Washington plays his usual leading man role to a tee. He’s not satisfied with how the robbery is playing out, he doesn’t like that Foster’s character shows up to complicate his negotiations, and at the end he isn’t willing to let things lie after the hostages are released. Ejiofor plays his able aide who is able to play off Washington’s part. Foster is the pan ultimate power broker. Being both strong and demanding in the male world of politicians, bankers, police, and thieves she finds herself in. Owen never breaks a sweat as he plays out his scheme. That’s nothing to say of William Dafoe as a SWAT team leader and Plummer in supporting roles.<br /><br />Spike Lee is also able to throw in his little odes to New York, which he always likes to do in movies located in the city. For instance, there’s an Indian Sikh bank teller who talks about his constant harassment because people believe he’s an Arab and a possible terrorist. Washington and Ejiofor counter that he could get a taxi unlike many black men. The robbers also play a tape in Albanian, and Washington is only able to find that out by asking the crowd outside the bank what language is being used. There’s also a riddle Owen throws at the cops about one of the city’s train stations. These all just give a little nod to the diversity and life in New York that Lee always likes to hit on.<br /><br />Finally, there’s the twist. The movie isn’t just your regular bank robbery. In fact, it appears initially that nothing was taken. It’s not until the robbery is actually over that Russell’s true motivations and plan is revealed and it’s a whopper that no one could foresee. Russell even gives a little treat to Detective Frazier.<br /><br />In conclusion, Inside Man is just an amazing movie experience. It never lets go of your attention and keeps on throwing things at you to keep you going.<br />C

Immediately grabs your attention with look at Holllywood Falls apart in 2nd half with love obsession
Zeroville is a look behind the scenes of Hollywood when it was still in its golden age in the 1970s. The story catches your attention right from the start. James Franco is the main character and he has Montgomery Cliff and Elizabeth Taylor tattooed on the back of his bald head. He builds sets for the movies but his job introduces him to all kinds of interesting people and situation. He gets to see producers and actors at work, editors, etc. One time he goes to a party for instance where people are pitching movies. If you know your history you’ll know who the people are such as one talking about a giant shark terrorizing a beach. Yes, some scenes are overdone but I think that was on purpose to mock the movie business and get some laughs.<br /><br />Franco also directed the film and got a bunch of his friends to appear including Seth Rogen, Danny McBride and Craig Robinson. Will Farrell is also in there as a manic producer.<br /><br />Where things go wrong is Franco becomes obsessed with Megan Fox. At first I didn’t mind, but then it became the focus of the movie and it lost its edge. The second part isn’t half was interesting as a result as it turns into a love fantasy.

It's hilarious It's over the top There's nothing like it
Early Woody Allen when he was insecure and caught up on sex is the best Woody Allen. I have loved this movie ever since I first saw it. It never gets old. It’s a bunch of short stories obviously having to do with sex. I mean they went all out on this one. For instance, they had one episode starring Gene Wilder titled “What is sodomy?” It’s about Wilder falling in love with a man’s goat. At the end he misses the goat so much he drinks Woolite. Another time there’s a take-off of Frankenstein but instead of creating a monster a giant boob is made which moves through the countryside. It’s hilarious. It’s over the top. There’s nothing like it.

Terry Gilliam's 1st independent movie but story falls apart
Jaberworky was Terry Gilliam’s first feature film after he left Monty Python and featured Michael Palin of that comedy troupe as well. A kingdom is being terrorized by a beast called a Jaberwocky and Palin becomes the unexpected hero. There’s a lot of the irreverence that Python was known for in the movie such as the king is watching a jousting tournament and gets splashed in blood after each match. Of course there are other funny moments like Palin constantly being peed on. You can see a lot of the style and techniques that Gilliam would use in later movies as well. The problem with the film is that halfway through the story seems to lose its way and just stumbles its way through to the end.<br />C

Ike and Tina were such awesome performers
This is a collection of short performances by Ike and Tina Turner from various TV shows such as Ed Sullivan. Watching old videos like this it’s easy to see why Ike and Tina were such hits. They come out with so much energy with Tina and the Ikettes dancing and Tina’s powerful singing voice. Tina was really a female version of James Brown or Jackie Wilson who were known for their showmanship. If you’re a fan you have to watch this.

Starts off good but horrible writing just leads to one bad scene after another
There is an unknown virus outbreak in Zaire. An infected monkey from the area is brought to the United States where it starts spreading the sickness. A U.S. army team commanded by Colonel Daniels (Dustin Hoffman) and including Lieutenant Colonel Schuler (Kevin Spacey) and Major Salt (Cuba Gooding Jr.) are tasked with finding a cure. There’s also Daniels’ ex-wife Dr Robby Keough (Rene Russo) who works for the Center of Disease Control. In the background General McClintock (Donald Sutherland) and Daniels’ boss General Ford (Morgan Freeman) are trying to cover up the virus because he and General Ford encountered it before in the 1960s and had to take extreme measures to try to eliminate it.<br /><br />The movie has a good start. For it shows how the virus spreads from the monkey to a human and then from human to human. The later can happen from coughs, via ventilation systems, etc.<br /><br />Then there are all the inconsistencies in the story. For instance, General Ford walks into a refrigerator vault with a bunch of disease samples in his regular clothes with no protection. Likewise Daniels walks out of his lab with no protective suit on in an infected town, gets in a HUMVEE and drives out of the area even though the virus can be spread through the air.<br /><br />Then there’s the downright unbelievable. When a town gets infected the U.S. army cordons it off. This of course causes resentment, people try to escape, and a helicopter gunship shoots up a truck and kills everyone inside. This was a poor attempt to create tension because it basically has the army making everything worse. Then they start taking out the people who are feeling sick, but because the virus is airborne that means everyone in their family should be taken away as well, but they’re not. Finally, Lt. Col. Schuler rips his suit while in the lab and then covers it up even though he might be infected and then talks to other people and might be infecting them. This is what an expert on infectious diseases does, just spread a sickness around to his friends and colleagues.<br /><br />Basically, what starts off as a good idea gets ruined by some really bad writing.<br />C

Elaborate heists action & real characters in the cast lead to highly entertaining movie
This is only VERY loosely based upon the 1960s original the Italian Job. It has a heist and it uses mini-Cooper cars otherwise this is a completely new movie. It revolves around schemes and revenge. It’s a very smart crime story.<br /><br />The movie centers on a group of thieves led by Mark Wahlberg. One of the gang betrays them however and Wahlberg vows to get payback.<br /><br />The robberies are very well done. To explain them would be a spoiler but they are right up there with the best as they are highly sophisticated and elaborate. It’s also where all the action comes from such as a high speed chase between a helicopter and the min-Coopers.<br /><br />There’s also a large ensemble cast and they make each one of Wahlberg’s gang a character. Seth Green as Lyle for example claims he invented Napster, has a motorcycle he can barely ride because it’s too big for him, and wants a stereo system that will blow the clothes off of women.<br /><br />All together it makes for a great heist film.<br />C

Only for true Lone Wolf and Cub fans Lacking a lot of successful elements from the films
Lone Wolf and Cub was such a manga hit it was turned into a series of films in the 1970s. That eventually spun off to a TV series from 1973-76. It starred longtime big screen actor Kinnosuke Yorozuya as the lead Ogami Itto. The show followed the same format as the movies with Ogami being hired by various samurai clans to carry out their dirty work. Ogami is then set upon by a variety of people from samurai to ninjas to try to stop him.<br /><br />What’s good about the TV show was that the manga and films were all about the samurai action and so is this version. You didn’t have to wait all the way until the end for a fight, although the choreography wasn’t always the greatest. It also continued with an interesting set of foes. The first episode in this collection for instance features a group of mountain Ninja that work for the Shogunate. The background music is very good as well with a lot of funky wah wah guitar and such,<br /><br />One drawback is that Yorozuya wore a ridiculous hair piece to look the part. It was so obvious it made him look really bad. Another is that while Yorozuya was a fine actor he lacked the menacing scowl of Wakayama who played Ogami in the movies. It’s impossible not to compare the two and come away thinking Yorozuya was lacking in personality for the part compared to his predecessor. The movies were also very stylistic and almost surreal at times. That’s completely missing from the show.<br /><br />Overall, this is only for real Lone Wolf and Cub fans. It’s not as good as the films, but still interesting.<br />C

Brings you in with 4 different stories but it's all deception
Bad Times at the El Royale is a well written crime drama. Four different people, Jeff Bridges as Father Flynn, Cynthia Erivo as Darlene Sweet, Dakota Johnson as Emily Summerspring and Jon Hamm as Laramie Seymour Sullivan check into the El Royale Hotel. Each has their own story and adventure. The thing is that’s all deception. The crux of the story is in the opening that starts in 1959. Keep that in mind because the story concludes what was started in the 50s.<br /><br />Each one of the characters gets their own moment in the movie and they each raise the questions about how is an innocent and who is a criminal. A few of the characters are not who they say they are for instance. There’s also some craziness thrown in when an unexpected guest shows up that leads to action as well.<br /><br />Overall this was a very well written film. The way it started did not give you a hint about where it would go which is always good.<br />C

Action movie looking for a plot
SWAT was based upon the 1970s TV show about Los Angeles’ SWAT team. The plot is very thin because it’s mostly about showing off the SWAT team.<br /><br />The story is supposed to revolve around French drug lord Alexander Montel (Olivier Martinez) being arrested and then trying to escape which the SWAT team under the leadership of Sergeant Hondo Harrelson (Samuel L. Jackson) has to stop. It takes so long time to get there however as a lot of time is spent forming the SWAT unit and training. That’s done because they want to show off all the hardware and the police prowess. It’s like a big commercial for the police. Ooh look at all the guns they have. Look at what they can do. It gets ridiculous.<br /><br />Overall the movie is an action film searching for a plot. It’s like they forgot they’re supposed to actually have a compelling story and decided all the shiny guns and equipment would win over the audience.<br />C

Mental health and well being
Garden State is about mental health and well being. Zach Braff was feeling down and let down in life. Then he finds out that his mother died and he has to return to his estranged father for the service. There are some perfect scenes that capture his mental state such as when he’s at a party and everyone is having fun and he just stares off into the distance completely detached from what’s happening around him. He meets Natalie Portman and that raises the question of whether she can change him for the better or not. Braff obviously does a great job with his role. Portman looks so young in this film and has all these idiosyncratic quirks to her character. The mixing of the depression and the romance works.

At first this movie was all about the violence as it didn’t appear to have any story other than a random home invasion.

Gravity is a very exciting and original space disaster film. Sandra Bullock and George Clooney are astronauts who get sent adrift into space when their shuttle gets hit by debris.

One of the best of the entire Zatoichi franchise as 2 iconic figuers from Japanese cinema meet
This movie pitted two of the most iconic samurai characters in Japanese cinema together, Toshiro Mifune’s Yojimbo made famous from the Yojimbo and Sanjuro films and Katsu Shintaro’s Zatoichi from his 20+ film franchise.<br /><br />Things start with Zatoichi cutting down some men in the middle of a rain storm and then retiring to a village looking for some rest and relaxation. Unfortunately for him, he finds neither. First, ninjas attack him, and then a very drunk Yojimbo runs into him hoping to collect the wanted reward that’s on Zatoichi’s head. Not only that, but the town is split between two gangs, a father opposed by his son, and Zatoichi and Yojimbo look like they’re on opposing sides.<br /><br />Here the movie gets to play upon themes common to both characters. First, Yojimbo plays one faction off against another, while Zatoichi tries to help the common people rid themselves of the Yakuza (gangsters).<br /><br />In the end, the film is very familiar to Zatoichi fans and a bit different as well. The conclusion is fantastic highlighting human greed and degradation, making this one of the best releases in the entire series.<br />C

Covers one of the most shocking events in history that almost disappeared from the books
Conspiracy was a joint HBO-BBC film about the 1942 Wannsee Conference in Berlin that decided upon the Final Solution. It starred Kenneth Branagah as SS Obergruppenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich head of state security in Nazi Germany and Stanley Tucci as SS Obersturmbannfuhrer Adolf Eichmann who worked for Heydrich on Jewish affairs.<br /><br />15 men came together in Berlin and made this fateful decision. The way Heydrich opened the conference was so sanitized you would never know what they were going to do. He said the problem was there were too many Jews under the Third Reich and they didn’t have anywhere to put them. First was to get them to leave but no one would take them. Then they put them in ghettos but they were overflowing and even more Jews were added with the invasion of the Soviet Union. The meeting would continue in this cold hearted tone. There was even much discussion about the law and making sure they acted legally. Heydrich actually first starts talking about evacuating Jews, but then it’s quickly apparent he means killing them. Again, this is an example of the language they were using.<br /><br />It’s an amazing slice of history that led to one of the greatest crimes against humanity. What’s even more shocking is that few of them paid for it as the closing credits lets the viewer know. Just as important if it hadn’t been for one piece of paper found after World War II the entire meeting would have never been part of history. Thankfully it was and there is this movie to fictionalize it so that more people know.<br />C

Upped the gore Focused on suffering but franchise was becoming routine
All the Saw movies were laid out like they were one story. Thus Saw 3 starts off where Saw 2 left off with Detective Eric Matthews (Donnie Wahlberg) chained up in a bathroom. This was the same room featured in the first Saw. The third installment had three main variations from the previous two. First, the gore level with Jigsaw’s punishments really went up a level. Second, Jigsaw went from punishing people he thought had committed sins to people that were getting in his way. Third, Amanda (Shawnee Smith) who was in the first two films becomes Jigsaw’s sociopathic sidekick. The theme was suffering for both Jigsaw and his victims.<br /><br />The change in Jigsaw was the biggest difference in Saw 3. He takes out a cop because he said she wanted to die. Before Jigsaw was portrayed as a man with a twisted sense of justice. Now he was just becoming a sick terrorist seeking to maintain his game at all costs.<br /><br />There was a twist at the end like usual.<br /><br />By this time this was why people watched Saw movies. They wanted to see what Jigsaw would do with his victims and then the endings. Still worthwhile but the franchise had become predictable.<br />C

Iconic vigilante cop film as a conservative response to the 1960s
I can’t watch this movie without thinking it is a conservative response to the cultural changes in America during the 1960s. It starts off with a memorial wall for policemen killed in San Francisco letting you know it is pro-law enforcement. President Nixon’s response to the 60s was a Law and Order campaign to lock up young people. In that vein Clint Eastwood as Harry shoots people, busts some heads, and generally acts like a vigilante. In one scene he’s told he’s violated basic rights like the 4th, 5th, 8th and 14th amendments and his response is so what.<br /><br />The movie itself is loosely based upon the Zodiac killer that terrorized the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1960s-70s. Thus the killer is called Scorpio and sends taunting notes to the police similar to the Zodiac. It’s up to Eastwood to hunt him down.<br /><br />Eastwood gets an iconic line along the way “Do you feel lucky punk?”<br /><br />The movie was extensively shot in San Francisco and you get some great scenes of what the city looked like at the time.<br /><br />Finally Lalo Schifrin laid down an excellent soundtrack.

Based upon true crime of Wonderland Murders told by crooks gangsters & drug addicts
Wonderland starts off by saying that it focuses upon porn star John Holmes after he fell out of the business. It is a twisted tale of the true crime story of the 1981 Wonderland Murders where a group of people were brutally murdered in a house on Wonderland Avenue in Los Angeles.<br /><br />By this time John Holmes (Val Kilmer) had become a grifter with his teenage girlfriend Dawn (Kate Bosworth). He’d fallen in with some small time hoods in an apartment on Wonderland Avenue played by Josh Lucas as Ron, Tim Blake as Nelson, and Dylan McDermott as David. All together they come up with a plan to rob a Los Angeles gangster named Eddie Nash (Eric Bogosian). Things go wrong, which leads to the murders.<br /><br />The story is told through a series of flashbacks and the police investigation into the crime. Holmes is portrayed as completely depraved, self-centered, and strung out on drugs. He uses and abuses his girlfriend. He’s only friends with the criminals because he believes he can get drugs from them. They in turn are a bunch of cutthroat thieves only matched by the ruthlessness of Nash. All together it is a story of people at the bottom and outside society that are not often portrayed in film, and especially not in this way. Despite all that, the story is still engaging if you like true crime. Instead of having the plot lead up to the murders, they are right at the start and the story tries to uncover what led to their deaths. The issue is that none of the major players are reliable witnesses, which makes it a real mystery about what happened. Who should you choose to believe and who should be discarded are completely left up to the audience.<br />C

Think it went for style over substance too often
This was the latest adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s book. The movie updates the story by adding special effects and new music by Jay Z while retaining lines and all the major events from Fitzgerald’s work. It portrays Gatsby/Leonardo DiCaprio as a fool in love who thought he could buy the girl of his dreams Daisy/Carey Mulligan but failed. She was never worth it and Gatsby believed that money could solve anything. That was because America preaches materialism as the key to happiness.<br /><br />While I enjoyed it I came away feeling that the movie went for the surface shine over substance. Perhaps that was on purpose because that’s what Gatsby was all about, image. On the other hand, maybe it was due to the director getting a big budget and trying to use it all.

Not satisfied with this version of Frankenstein
I was not satisfied with this version of Frankenstein. Kenneth Branagh as Victory Frankenstein playing God was mentioned but not followed through with. Finding the body parts was done in a quick second. The only thing that really hit was Robert De Niro as an outcast monster. He hides in the shed of a family barn when he finally gets to explain his plight to a blind man that doesn’t run from him in terror. The next thing you know the blind man’s son comes back and starts hitting De Niro and drives him away. I didn’t think things really started working until the last 20 minutes and by then it was too late.

An odd couple of hired killers
You’ve all heard of odd couple movies but Cohen and Tate gave it twist. This time it was the older, calm and collected killer Roy Scheider paired with the younger, hot headed Adam Baldwin whose answer to everything was to kill it. They are a great pair. Baldwin constantly freaks out and Scheider looks at him like he’s a maniac. Both deliver great performances. That of the kid played by Harley Cross not so much as he just does the same thing throughout the movie. Still it was a pretty good movie with a great ending.

Devolves into a soap opera
This movie tried to deal with women’s sexuality but was trapped by 1950s moralism even though it came out in 1965. Suzanne Pleshette is sexually assaulted in high school which leads to two affairs. When she talks to her brother about it he suggests her going to a doctor because a woman wanting to have sex was obviously some kind of deviation from normality. She even gets yelled at and called a slut by an angry mother! After that first part however the film seriously drags and verges into cheesiness. It largely turned into a soap opera and I couldn’t wait for it to end.

It's really about white editor Woods dealing w/Apartheid while Biko gets sidelined in his own story
Cry Freedom was a Richard Attenborough movie about the struggle for freedom in South Africa. It claims to be about activist and leader Steve Biko played by Denzel Washington but it’s actually about a white reporter Donald Woods played by Kevin Kline who befriended Biko. Like so many Hollywood films a white person becomes the center of attention while blacks get sidelined in their own story.<br /><br />What the movie will be about is apparent at the start. Woods is a white liberal editor of a newspaper. He believes that Biko is spouting black supremacy. He sets up a meeting with Biko to try to understand him and that will be the main story. How can a white man understand what’s really happening to blacks in their own country under Apartheid? Thus it’s not about the black experience in South Africa, but how a white person sees things.<br /><br />It’s not like Biko doesn’t get his moments. He takes Woods to a mining town and then the shanty towns to try to explain the inequities black people were facing. You get to hear Biko giving a speech about how black South Africans had to stop looking to whites for everything and be proud of themselves, their culture and history. Of course then Biko dies in police custody an hour into a two and half hour long movie, and you know what the rest of the film turns out to be about.

Mocks slasher films while taking genre in a completely new direction
Cabin In the Woods is a great horror film. That’s because it takes all the stupid stereotypes of slasher films and mocks it while also adding an entire new element to the genre.<br /><br />It begins with five friends going to an isolated cabin in the woods. Along the way they run into a creepy old white man at a gas station who warns them about where they’re going. Then a trap door opens in the cabin they’re staying in and they decide to walk down them. Of course that leads to a group of killers going after them. These are all traditional tropes in serial killer films. The twist is that these are all purposely placed within the plot to laugh at them.<br /><br />The other major difference is that the friends are actually within a giant game. The people running it know these are ridiculous situations but it’s what they have to do because of the rules. For instance they talk to the creepy gas station owner and can’t help but laugh at him because he’s such a stereotype. There’s much more to that element which eventually takes over the plot and again plays upon all the things you would expect in a horror film.<br /><br />The film is really smart and fun and the ending is great. It really took the slasher movie in a completely unexpected direction.

Chicago Confidential features gangsters, a frame-up, and violence but I never thought it presented anything different from a TV cop show.

Joel Kinnaman is stuck between a rock and a hard place in this crime drama. He’s working for a Polish drug gang but also for the FBI. Both are pushing him to do things he doesn’t want to do.

2nd time I've watched it and still feels like a chore because it moves sooooo slowly
Interstellar was co-written, co-produced and directed by Christopher Nolan. It takes place in a future where humanity is facing extinction because of the inability to grow food. Matthew McConaughey and NASA attempt to solve this problem by searching for new planets through a worm hole in space. The theme is whether sacrificing for the greater good is worthwhile or not. The problem is it takes far too long to get anywhere.<br /><br />The story deals with time which is one of Nolan’s favorite topics. When McConaughey and company go through the worm hole they find out that time is much different than that on Earth.<br /><br />It is also very heavily into science. There’s explanations of worm homes and murphy’s law and more.<br /><br />Most importantly, Interstellar has been labeled an epic sci-fi movie but that didn’t mean it had to move at such a slow pace. There’s a reason why it’s almost 3 hours long. That definitely means it’s not for everyone because you have to have a lot of patience before things start to happen. This is the second time I’ve watched Interstellar and it still feels like a chore. I enjoyed the ending I just don’t’ think Nolan should have spent so much time getting there. He liked to manipulate time in his films but he didn’t know how to do it in real life.

Good doc on the protest movements of the 60s in the Bay Area with some glorification of the decade
The title of this documentary is a bit misleading. While it does cover several events in Berkeley such as the Free Speech Movement and the protests over the University of California Berkeley owned People’s Park it is really about the protest movement that took over the San Francisco Bay Area and the United States in the 1960s. The first event covered for example is a demonstration against the House Un-American Activities Committee coming to San Francisco City Hall in May 1960.<br /><br />As the opening statement said, the Baby Boomers were coming to age in the 1960s and were not content to follow their parents’ lead. Instead, there was a general feeling of wanting to explore political and social freedoms.<br /><br />Several major events are covered.<br /><br />First, was the protest in SF against the Un-American Activities Committee which organizers believed was anti-American for going after people’s political beliefs. Next, was the 1964 Free Speech Movement at the UC Berkeley when students protested against the school’s administration trying to ban political activism on campus. There are some great speeches by Mario Savio about how the university system was simply a machine which was only interested in pumping out students into the workforce and tried to deny them the other sides of their lives such as politics. Next is the anti-Vietnam War movement that was probably the most famous. There was also a conservative backlash against these activities as shown by the election of Ronald Reagan to governor of California who specifically ran against the student radicals. That leads to a short part on the hippy movement. Luckily they note that the counterculture was not involved in the protests. In fact, they rejected politics and wanted to create their own society.<br /><br />Another group included was the Black Panthers, which were a black nationalist party formed in Oakland, California. They began following the police in Oakland carrying guns. This was a huge shock to the police and government and put the group on the map. Confrontations with the police became a huge part of the group’s life.<br /><br />The feminist movement is also included, and that is important, because these other protests are usually given much more coverage. Many women were involved in these different groups, and when they tried to gain leadership roles, there was a lot of resistance. That led some women to begin thinking about their own activism.<br /><br />Last was People’s Park. This was a plot of land that UC Berkeley owned right down the street from the campus. People decided to turn this area into a public park in 1969.<br /><br />At the end various people talked about the accomplishments of the 1960s. I think that’s really a glorification of the decade. Only the civil rights movement and the Free Speech movement actually made sustained changes. The Vietnam War for example, was not ended by demonstrations. The Black Panther Party didn’t end racism or lead to a revolution. While obviously the people who participated in these different groups felt like they had changed personally, what they actually brought about in the country was much smaller. Again, the conservative backlash cannot be emphasized enough.<br /><br />What really makes this movie was the huge collection of archival footage of all of these events. It’s really had to understand the Stop The Draft Week for example, without seeing what chaos broke out in downtown Oakland as a result.<br /><br />For those interested in the history of the Bay Area or the Sixties era this is a very good documentary to check out. As noted above, there are some shortcomings, but overall it presents the feelings of the decade.<br />C

Stand out horror 50s horror movie for its effects production and theme
For a 1957 horror film Curse of the Demon has some great special effects. It employs an animated demon that shows up and kills people. It’s got smoke emanating from it and for the close up they used a large animated model. It appears up right at the start and makes quite an impression.<br /><br />The story is about an American psychologist played by Dana Andrews arriving in England to debunk a cult run by Niall MacGinnis. That leads to some nice dealings with the occult as well. The ending is awesome and it doesn’t end the way you would expect. For 1957 this movie really stands out for its production, style and theme.

Seeing into the future is nothing but trouble
People always imagine a superpower like clairvoyance would change their lives. Volition is about how it leads to nothing but trouble, especially if you try to mess with fate. Adrian Glynn McMorran can see into the future. That hasn’t really helped him in life as he’s a down on his luck hustler who owes lots of money. The story is actually science fiction about shaping the past and present and scenes end up repeating and building upon each other. It’s very well written. It keeps you guessing about where it will lead. McMorran looks like a total mess the more his character progresses adding to the theme.

Scorsese's dream come true a concert movie about the Rolling Stones
If you didn’t know Martin Scorsese was a Rolling Stones’ fan than you probably haven’t paid attention to his movies. Smitten with the group he got to make a concert movie about them. Scorsese worked on the set list with the band and picked a lot of hits but some lesser known songs to play as well. Interspersed between them are some archival footage of the members when they were young talking about what they thought about their fame. Really it’s all about the music and there’s definitely a good mix to keep the viewer interested.

Captures Bell's sense of adventure and boldness but drags at the start
Gertrude Bell came from a rich family and was well educated earning a degree in history from Oxford. She was wrestles and unhappy which was the motivation for her travels through Persia and the Ottoman Empire during the turn of the century. The movie covers her sense of adventure, then delves into melodrama with her love life, but then recovers with her defiance of male authority, and just a little bit about her service to the British government during the war.<br /><br />Queen of the Desert captures how bold Bell was to travel around the Middle East by herself at the turn of the century. It was unheard of and yet she did it. The main drawback of the film is the first love story which really drags. If this was edited down just a bit the film would have been so much better.

Story of corporate greed and those that get left behind
I was actually disappointed with the first half of the film. It just wasn’t funny. Then in the second half it got a new life and finally started working. I even laughed out loud a couple times. The story is about corporate greed and what happens to the workers that get left behind. That leaves Jim Carrey without a job and he and his wife Tea Leoni struggle as a result. Carrey is his usual goofy self although a bit restrained from some of his other movies. Tea Leoni actually surprised me with her performance.

1 of a number of 2000s movies that puts male at center of Rom-Com
Forgetting Sarah Marshall was similar to a number of movies that came out in the 2000s like I Love You Man, Knocked Up, and others that featured male characters dealing with relationships. This one featured Jason Segel who gets dumped by his TV star girlfriend Kristen Bell who starts seeing Rockstar Russell Brand and then meets Mila Kunis. The cast has some other familiar faces that were in these movies including Paul Rudd and Jonah Hill. The story focuses more on the romance rather than the comedy although there are funny parts like Segel crying like a baby in his hotel room or crying like a baby after he stabs a pig for a BBQ. There are other scenes that flopped with the laughs. Brand as a rock star actually shines the brightest in the cast. Overall, Forgetting Sarah Marshall good but not as good as some of its contemporaries.

Postapocalyptic tale of surviving against not the elements but other people
The Colony is a postapocalyptic tale of an Earth frozen by a permanent winter. People have been forced to live underground. One colony gets a distress signal from another for help. That sets up the plot which is about surviving other people and what they’ve become.<br /><br />There are survival elements of the story like when people are trekking across the tundra. Action sequences like when cannibals show up and power struggles amongst the colonists. It plays upon what have become of human beings when faced with such a stark and baron environment.

Compelling story about abuse but acting is up and down
This movie was made in Oakland so it immediately caught my attention. It had a compelling story about the how the main character Rose was abused throughout her life by men.

Not scary but it's a good story
I remember watching this movie on TV during a summer weekend when I was a kid. It’s about a luxury liner that gets rammed at sea. The few survivors find themselves upon a haunted World War II Nazi transport ship. It tries to kill the people one by one because it needs their blood to survive. Most of the film is pretty routine like equipment turning itself on, a record player that keeps playing, etc. There is one great scene where a woman gets trapped in a shower while blood comes out of the shower head. It’s not scary but it’s a good story and well executed.

Plain boring
I grew up watching Japanese kids TV shows and Kaiju movies so whenever I find a new one I check it. Atragon was released by Toho films and directed by the famed Ishiro Honda who did the original Godzilla films.<br /><br />The story is about a lost civilization called Mu wanting to conquer the Earth. Apparently Japan’s only defense against this threat is to find a long lost Japanese navy officer played by Jun Tazaki and a super flying submarine called Atragon.<br /><br />The movie is completely disappointing. That’s because nothing much happens. A man from Mu appears. A Japanese delegation searches for Tazaki. None of it is interesting. It’s not until the last 20 minutes of the film that the Mu launch an attack and there’s any real action. Even that’s not very good.

Over the top samurai police story that criticized the Shogunate
Shintaro Katsu was famous for playing Zatoichi the blind swordsman but he also did a series of Hanzo the Razor movies based upon a manga. It was a completely over the top role with Hanzo being a policeman known for using sex to get confessions out of women.<br /><br />The irreverence of the story is shown at the start when Hanzo says he wants to have sex with a ghost seen down by the river. Of course it’s not a real ghost just a woman posing one to hide a crime of stealing gold pieces from the Shogunate. That leads to lots of mystery, drama and of course sword fights.<br /><br />The movie is very good but there is one major problem with the entire series. Hanzo always reveals corruption within the Shogunate system but never does anything about it. This was the problem with Japanese cinema in general. It supported the country’s culture and traditions which held the samurais in great reverence which meant you could criticize the system, but you couldn’t actually do antying about it.<br />C

Routine slasher flick
10 To Midnight is a slasher flick featuring Charles Bronson as a Los Angeles detective investigating a serial killer played by Gene Davis. The best part of the movie might be the opening where Bronson says he’s an SOB and doesn’t care. That’s because the rest of the story is rather routine. They show Davis as the murderer right at the start so it’s just a matter of how Bronson will catch him. Yes, yes there are plenty of murder scenes where Davis kills naked women, but there’s nothing special about that. This is the second or third time I’ve seen the film and my opinion hasn’t changed.

Could've done so much with this film but didn't Still worth a watch
100 Rifles is an interesting story even though it’s not the most well written or acted out film. It’s got a bad guy Fernando Lamas who is a Mexican general massacring Indians in Mexico to protect a railroad. It’s got an anti-hero in Burt Reynolds who’s an outlaw trying to do right. A reluctant hero in Jim Brown who was an American lawman hunting down Reynolds. Plus a beautiful heroine Raquel Welch who’s trying to help the native people. She’s got a horrible “Mexican” accent. The story is very familiar and predictable. As the movie progresses the action scenes get bigger and more chaotic and make less sense. It just feels like they could’ve done so much more with this film but unfortunately they didn’t. It’s still worth watching.

Art Of War was one of those rare times a black male was the lead in a super agent picture. It features Wesley Snipes working for the United Nations of all things. He ends up being chased after he witnesses the assassination of a Chinese diplomat. He gets to do all the usual secret agent things like work undercover, jump off buildings, use guns, etc. The bad guys do their bit as well such as the villain giving a monologue about their plan. Story wise Art of War adds nothing to the spy genre. It’s just about watching Snipes do his thing.

A story about the struggle to find happiness
Sylvie’s Love seems like it will be a straight romance between Tessa Thompson as Sylvie and Nnamidi Asomugha as Robert but it proves to be much more. At first it seems like they are a match made in heaven with Sylvie working at her dad’s music shop in 1950s-60s New York City and Robert being a sax player who gets a job at the store just to talk to her. The twist is that the movie turns out to be about the costs of love. Both make all kinds of sacrifices and many of those get in the way of the two being together.<br /><br />Thompson and Asomugha definitely have a chemistry about them. The movie exploits that with several memorable scenes. For instance, Robert invites Sylvie to come see him play and afterward he asks for a kiss. When Sylvie says yes he literally jumps up the stairs to her. There’s another one of them dancing in the middle of a street.<br /><br />The fact that it’s not a straight love story and the two struggle is also a welcome surprise. You have to have some ups and downs to keep the plot interesting.<br />C

Amazing and original sci-fi film featuring inner city kids as the heroes
This movie blew me away when I first saw it.<br /><br />First off you have no idea what it’s about initially. It starts with Sam played by Jodie Whitaker walking home and being mugged by a group of teens led by Moses played by John Boyega. While taking her belongings a meteor crashes into a car. Inside is a tiny little alien which the kids kill. Later they see more coming down and they think it’s a big game to kill the “Little Gremlins” as they call them. It turns out the second wave of aliens are much bigger and deadlier and chase the teens throughout the movie.<br /><br />The monsters are also really well done. They are big fury black beasts which you can hardly see in the dark except when they open their mouths and their big glowing teeth are exposed.<br /><br />The movie is not your usual sci-fi film either. There’s plenty of comedy as well such as when one of the kids said he made a big mistake chasing the aliens and would rather be home playing FIFA on his Play Station. Or when slacker Brewis played by Luke Treadaway tells his drug dealer Ron played by Nick Frost about how he can’t make enough money to pay rent even though he still lives at home with his parents for free.<br /><br />There’s also social commentary. The kids are all working class, and mostly black from West Indian parents. They live in a big low income housing complex called “The Block” hence the movie’s name. At the end, Moses saves the day and yet gets arrested because they think he’s a thug. Sam tries to explain to the police that Moses was actually the one that saved the entire block, but they don’t listen. To them, he’s just a black criminal. All the block residents start chanting his name because they know the truth that he’s the hero and the police are working on stereotypes about blacks.<br /><br />Finally, there's some blood and gore thrown in there for good measure when the aliens attack people.<br /><br />This is a really amazing movie with a lot of twists, laughs and messages going on.

A novice thrown into the role of having to save his company
Ed Helms is a novice thrown into the role of a hero. He is an insurance man from a small town who’s sent to a convention in Cedar Rapids to save his company. The film plays upon him being an innocent in the big city for the first time. He ends up sharing a room with John C. Reilly and Isiah Whitlock. Of course to make the best of his character they put Helms in all kinds of awkward situations from hugging a naked man to doing drugs to hanging out with a prostitute. The supporting cast gets their moments as well such as Whitlock mocking The Wire which he performed in. It all makes for a good time.

In a dying city stuck in tradition it takes 2 kids to find solutions
City of Ember is a post-apocalyptic story where humanity has been forced to live underground in a giant city. Ember is falling apart however and no one has the answers because everyone is stuck in tradition. Of course that means two kids Harry Treadaway and Saoirise Ronan will emerge as the saviors.<br /><br />I was immediately taken in by the world the movie created. Everyone is wearing handmade clothes. There’s all kinds of pipes and fading electrical lighting which gave it an almost Steam Punk feel.<br /><br />The supporting cast is really strong. Bill Murry is Ember’s mayor assisted by Toby Jones. Tim Robbins is Treadaway’s dad. Martin Landau is Treadaway’s mentor at his work.<br /><br />I saw this in a movie theater when it came out and I remain impressed by it.

Sean Penn leads great cast of young actors in their prime in this crime drama
State of Grace has a great cast with Sean Penn, Gary Oldman, Robin Wright, John C. Reilly, and John Turturro all early in their careers. The story is about Penn as an undercover cop infiltrating a gang run by his old friends Ed Harris and Oldman. The movie covers familiar territory with Penn becoming split over his loyalties to his buddies and his job. Despite that cliché it’s a well played film with Oldman and Penn doing their usual outstanding work. Harris plays a ruthless gangster who plays friends with a guy one minute and then kills him the next.

Good but not great mystery-thriller set in Antarctica
Whiteout is a murder mystery set in Antarctica. The film begins with a shootout inside a Soviet plane that crashes, and then flash forwards to the present where Federal Marshal Carrie Stetko (Kate Beckinsale) finds a body frozen in the tundra. It turns out the two stories are related which is what the Marshal finds out during her investigation.<br /><br />The movie tries to create drama on two levels. First there’s the elements. During one scene new people to Antarctica are given a training course and told in 3 minutes out in the cold they are already dying. That’s brought up later on as Steko is forced out into the elements and gets major frostbite on her hands. There’s also a slasher element as the killer comes out but his identity is hidden by wearing winter clothing and he begins killing people and chases after Steko.<br /><br />Overall Whiteout is a good but not great mystery thriller. The setting in Antarctica is what sets it apart from others.<br />C

Became a parody of itself
F9 starts off with a familiar story. Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez are told about an S.O.S. call from Kurt Russell and assemble their team to go to the rescue. It turns out the bad guy played by John Cena is Diesel’s brother who was involved in the death of their father. This plays upon a familiar theme of all the Fast movies about the importance of family.<br /><br />The problem with F9 is that it became a parody of itself. Fast and Furious already made a huge jump from the characters being street racers who got involved in huge schemes to try to help people to being secret agents crossing the world and getting into giant gun battles. This one just took it to another level.<br /><br />You could tell things were going to go off the rails at the start. 1st Tyrese Gibson is surrounded by a bunch of soldiers and is able to kill every single one of them without a scratch on him. Next Diesel and company go through a minefield that only blows up the bad guys. Then Cena jumps his car off a huge cliff where a plane snatches it out of the sky. You can’t go through one ridiculous situation after another like that in one big action sequence and expect the audience to keep their faith in the fiction playing out on the screen. It only gets worse with the team sending a car into space. Yes, they made a spaceship out of a car. Some executive thought that was a good idea!

The first is the best
The first Transformers remains the best in the entire series. It was fresh and original. As someone that watched the cartoons it had nostalgia thrown in as well.<br /><br />The film had plenty of comedy especially with Sam Witwicky (Shia LeBeouf) being self-deprecating. Added to that were his crazy parents Ron (Kevin Dunn) and especially Judy (Julie White) who was always saying something inappropriate. Added bonus was Agent Seymour Simmons (John Turturro) who had his special Sector 7 underpaints on too tight because he was always high strung especially when it came to aliens. Plus Anthony Anderson as Glen Whitmann had his moments as well.<br /><br />Michel Bey was the director and the Transformers had all his favorite bells and whistles. First, he’s enamored with the military. The opening scene was a Decepticon flying in the form of a helicopter and then attacking a U.S. army base. Second, he loves guns and explosions. Hence the army base gets leveled. Third, he likes to show off pretty women. The co-star was Megan Fox as Mikaela Banes who becomes Sam’s girlfriend and gets to run around with Bumblebee and the Autobots. Sometimes that can really go wrong, but this time it worked out.<br />C

Good but not as good as Matt Damon's Bourne
What’s it say about a series that loses its star character? That’s what happened with Bourne Legacy that doesn’t feature Jason Bourne/Matt Damon. Instead Jeremy Renner is the star. He’s part of a government program to create super soldiers through drugs called Outcome which is similar to Treadstone that led to Bourne. Despite Tony Gilroy writing Legacy and the previous film Ultimatum there were not as many high intensity action scenes the franchise was known for. That’s what made the Bourne films stand out. They didn’t have the gimmicks of James Bond or the special effects of Mission Impossible. Instead they went for fight and action sequences that tried to be realistic. Ultimately it’s still good but not as good as Damon’s Bourne.

Better produced and executed then 1st Fast & Furious
Obviously the second in the Fast and Furious franchise. This one didn’t have Vin Diesel and starred Paul Walker instead. It also introduced two new characters that would become mainstays played by Tyrese Gibson and Ludacris. The film was directed by John Singleton.<br /><br />This time Paul Walker is recruited by the Miami police to infiltrate a drug lord’s crew. He brings in his friend Gibson to help him out. They’re assisted by undercover cop Eva Mendes.<br /><br />Like the previous movie all the emphasis is upon young people playing with fast cars and crime. It was better produced and executed then the original. That obviously meant more cars and more stunts. A perfect example is when Walker and Gibson are being chased by the police and they dart into a garage. Then the doors open and dozens and dozens of cars fly out confusing the police about which ones contain Walker and Gibson. It also had a funny ending. That’s why it’s one of my favs in the series.

Never found the balance between fighting in the war and talking about it
This is a famous John Wayne movie but it fails as a war film. First of all the majority of the movie is about the men and officers of a Patrol Boat squadron in the Pacific. There is very little of the boats in combat. In fact, much of the first half of the film is about Wayne’s commander Robert Montgomery wanting to get his unit into action and then Wayne getting his hand hurt so he can’t fight. Second they throw in the mandatory love story between Wayne and Donna Reed which is a waste of time. The movie just never found the right balance between the lives of the men and trying to show the war they were in.

I remember some of these songs from my childhood
I still remember some of the songs from this movie from when I was a kid. Watching it today I have an immediate question. They spend the opening five minutes with an instrumental song and a bunch of lines with changing background color for what purpose? Why couldn’t they go straight into the movie? Was this supposed to be five minutes so that the audience could sit down for the start? I just don’t get it. Thankfully that’s followed by a scene which introduces the two street gangs the Jets and the Sharks which sets up the conflict of the movie between the Puerto Ricans and whites. There’s nothing like watching street toughs dancing around the hard streets of New York City. Now that’s not to say that everything works in this production. A few of the songs seem pointless. Cutting some of them would’ve helped reduced the movie from two and half hours which tried my patience at times. Still the majority of tunes and dance numbers are enjoyable. My favorite is America featuring Rita Moreno and George Chakiris.

Would set stage for almost all subsequent Godzilla films but would be perfected later on
Ghidorah was the fifth Godzilla film released in 1964. It would provide the blueprint for almost all of the following movies in the original series. The story was about aliens bringing a monster to conquer the Earth. Added to that this was a Kaiju mash up with not only Godzilla and Ghidorah but Rodan and Mothra as well. I always thought Ghidorah was one of the greatest villains in the franchise and this was his first appearance. His debut didn’t disappoint. Some of the fighting between Godzilla and Rodan however didn’t work. I don’t think they ever really found an effective way to animate Rodan. Some other mainstays of the series were apparent from the two fairy women that came with Mothra to the Kaiju talking to each other. The latter is pretty funny. While this was an important turning point in Godzilla films they would perfect the formula later on.

If there's anyone who deserves a doc its Rick James
If anyone deserved a documentary it was Rick James. He was a musical genius, an icon and a madman all rolled into one. There’s the usual mix of talking heads but more importantly old interviews with James. They also mix the talking heads with the commentary over footage so you’re not just always looking at these people instead of James.<br /><br />There are some outstanding moments. One was James’ early introduction to bands with the Mynah Birds out of Toronto who was signed to Motown and got to play with some of their greats like Stevie Wonder. The band also included Neil Young. That was part of his Hippy Rock period. Not all of those moments are good however like his times in court and his addiction.<br /><br />I usually don’t like talking heads dominated docs but this is a real exception. Rick James was a force of nature and he deserves as much attention as he can get.

An easy movie to buy into because no one likes bullies
This movie was a favorite of mine growing up. It’s about Chris Makepeace being picked on by Matt Dillon and then seeking protection from Adam Baldwin who was known as the scariest kid in high school. It makes for a great coming of age story.<br /><br />The characters are what makes this movie. Makepeace’s grandma Ruth Gordon makes wisecracks and tries to pick up men all the time. Paul Quandt plays a kid in Makepeace’s classroom who laments about his life and has some really funny lines. Dillon plays the stereotypical bully while Baldwin is quiet and foreboding. Most importantly the relationship between Makepeace and Baldwin feels very authentic. They create a real bond and that draws you into the story. It’s also an easy movie to buy into because no one likes bullies.

Patton Oswalt plays a delusional NY Giants fan
I thought this would be a comedy about Patton Oswalt being a diehard New York Giants football fan but it wasn’t. Instead it explored how he had no life and his fanship led to delusions. Oswalt was very believable in his role but at the same time he painted a picture of a very sad man.

Extended version of the best of the trilogy About how the Fellowship couldnt give up hope
This is a four disc extended version of Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.<br /><br />Each movie in the trilogy had a theme. The Fellowship of the Ring was about the costs it would take to destroy the Ring. The Two Towers is about not giving up hope to destroy the Ring. It is also the best of the three releases.<br /><br />The Two Towers lays out a series of seemingly impossible situations the Fellowship of the Ring now divided into separate groups must face. First, Frodo and Samwise are heading towards Mordor on their own and must allude the forces of Sauron. Second, Pippen and Merry have been kidnapped by Orcs while Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli are chasing after them to try to free them. Finally, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli come across the Kingdom of Rohan which is about to be attacked by a huge army of Orcs under the command of the sorcerer Saruman. Sauron and Saruman are the Two Towers the Fellowship must face. It seems like so few can’t stand up to so many. It’s the unexpected help of Golem, the return of Gandalf, the leadership of Aragorn, and the discovery of the Ents that will give them the chance to turn the tide.<br /><br />As the extended version of the film there are several new scenes that were not included in the original. For example Eomer of Rohan finds Theodred the prince of the kingdom dying at the hands of Orcs under the command of Saruman. That gives background to why Eomer tried to convince the king to defend Rohan from the sorcerer. Some are much more important than others but they do help fill out the story. That also means the film is split between 2 discs.<br /><br />The other two are filled with extras on things like filming in New Zealand, the artwork, etc.<br /><br />While not essential if you already have the original film release of Two Towers I did really enjoy the extra scenes and of course the two other discs are for the real fans.
