Surrogates (2009, Jonathan Mostow)

October 23rd, 2009 · No Comments

So they take Bruce Willis and de-age him, but then they put Rosamund Pike in old age make-up? That one doesn’t make much sense.
Surrogates is another modern future concept movie–like iRobot or Minority Report–the future comes crashing down because of the movie star hero, there’s some kind of conspiracy involving the new technology, on and on […]

Phone Booth (2002, Joel Schumacher)

September 2nd, 2009 · No Comments

IMDb doesn’t mention it, but I thought one of the problems with getting Phone Booth made (it went through countless potential leading men) was the script and screenwriter Larry Cohen’s contract–i.e. no one could be brought in to make it, you know, good.
The film’s a piece of crap and it’s too bad because some of the […]

Thick as Thieves (2009, Mimi Leder)

July 16th, 2009 · No Comments

Maybe ten years ago, Thick as Thieves wouldn’t be a direct-to-DVD release (it’s actually a hit, which is kind of scary). Ten years ago, Mimi Leder hadn’t bombed out with Pay It Forward, Antonio Banderas movies–most of them–were still opening in theaters. Morgan Freeman usually gets even a limited release out of his more vanity […]

Rogue (2007, Greg Mclean)

November 17th, 2008 · No Comments

Rogue isn’t just hard to describe, it is–as I try–impossible. While the box cover (it didn’t get a U.S. theatrical release) certainly identifies it as a giant crocodile movie, it’s a lot more. Starting with that description–the giant crocodile movie–Rogue’s already unique. It’s the only movie of its type (the larger than previously believed possible […]

Mozart and the Whale (2005, Petter Næss)

January 10th, 2006 · No Comments

I’ve only been looking forward to this damn movie for 2 years. It missed its theatrical release date, but there’s probably a DVD on the way (which would have been the source of my illicit copy). It’s perfectly understandable why the film missed the date… it lacks any relatable center. My fiancée just said she […]

Melinda and Melinda (2004, Woody Allen)

May 15th, 2005 · No Comments

Woody Allen has written around thirty films, probably thirty-four. Ten of these films are some of the finest in the last thirty years, give or take. But he tries something new in Melinda and Melinda and it doesn’t work.
Of his recent work, his post-Miramax period, Melinda is the second strongest–Curse of the Jade Scorpion holding […]
