Quarantine

14 Oct

As far as horror movies go, I have to place this one pretty high on the list.

I do love a good horror movie, there are so many more elements that play into making a scary movie than blood, guts, and a little profanity in order to make it a good one.

This one has suspense up the wazoo, blood, guts, and a candor that is rarely seen in the horror genre these days. This movie looked exhausting to make.

I think a few of these actors, particularly Jennifer Carpenter, got a loooong nights’ sleep after wrapping the film.

I got exhausted just watching them freak out. :)

If you’re looking for something that will make you cringe, jump, and possibly squeal, look no further.

This one has just a little something for everyone.

Television reporter Angela Vidal (Carpenter) and her cameraman (Harris) are assigned to spend the night shift with a Los Angeles Fire Station.

After a routine 911 call takes them to a small apartment building, they find police officers already on the scene in response to blood curdling screams coming from one of the apartment units.

oooohh yeeahhh!! ;) magic

Body Of Lies

13 Oct

Russel Crowe may have packed on 50 pounds for his part, yet his performance feels extremely blah.

He speaks everything in the same meandering drawl, which may have been the point, but his character disappears for such lengthy bits, we tend to forget about him.

The promised pairing of him and Dicaprio is weightless; their scenes have no fire or bite.

Roger Ferris, Leonardo DiCaprio, is a CIA covert operative working in Jordan searching for terrorists who have been bombing civilian targets.

Ferris uncovers information on the Islamist mastermind Al-Saleem (Alon Aboutboul).

He devises a plan to infiltrate Al-Saleem’s terrorist network with the help of his boss back in Langley, Ed Hoffman (Russell Crowe).

Birds of America

13 Oct

I thought the film was very good, but there were some slip ups. :P

First off, Hilary Swank was wasted playing a stepford-wife type, which truth be told, could have been played by anyone. :)

She is far better than that role.

As well, although somewhat important to the theme of the film, I found the feces aspect of the film rather distracting and with exception to one humorous scene, took away from the storyline.

It sometime amazes me that cinematography can be far superior in films with independent budgets.

The only complaint I have about the cinematography and lighting is that some scenes were very dark and it was difficult to truly connect with those scenes.

This is about socialization and growing up when there are no grown-ups. For Jay it means living within social boundaries and telling an occasional lie; for Ida it’s accountability for her actions, whereas Morrie must learn to loosen codes, assert the naked truth, and release responsibility to others.

Ideal for a Sunday afternoon, with your munchies ;) magic

The Strangers

12 Oct

The Strangers

The tension buildup during the movie is incredible.

Some of the scenes are disturbing but not overly gory.

Liv Tyler does a convincing job of making you feel the fright and a lot of the acting is non-verbal.

Scott Speedman also does an excellent and believable job.

With todays crazy headlines, this is the kind of movie that you can actually imagine happening somewhere in this country in real life.

Trust me, at the end of this movie you will be double checking the locks on your doors and windows. :P

After returning from a wedding reception, a couple staying in an isolated vacation house receive a knock on the door in the mid-hours of the night.

What ensues is a violent invasion by three strangers, their faces hidden behind masks.

The couple find themselves in a violent struggle, in which they go beyond what either of them thought capable in order to survive.

make some noize at the jumps!! ;) magic

Beverly Hills Chihuahua

12 Oct

Beverly Hills Chihuahua

This film falls into the “It could have been worse” department.

But not by much. :P

This new Disney production features talking dogs, thieving rats, a meek iguana and the overshadowed acting talents of Jamie Lee Curtis and Piper Perabo (“Cheaper By the Dozen”).

On a scale of 1-10, this effort does not rate very high.

In fact, the most interesting aspect of a movie like this will be trying to figure out some of the animal’s voices.

Chloe (voice of DREW BARRYMORE), a diamond-clad, bootie wearing Beverly Hills Chihuahua enjoys her luxurious lifestyle so much, she hardly notices Papi (voice of GEORGE LOPEZ), a tough looking Chihuahua who happens to be head-over-paws for the pampered pooch.

But when Chloe gets lost in the rough streets of Mexico with only a street-wise German Shepherd (voice of ANDY GARCIA) to help her find her way home.

enjoy! ;) magic

BorderTown

12 Oct

After hearing this movie would not be released on the big screen I had doubts about whether I wanted to see it.

This movie was compelling, suspenseful, and well acted. J-lo is believable in her role and gives an impressive performance. :P

The importance of the topic of this movie should be enough to encourage people to see it but it is not for the faint of heart.

Put the kids to bed early before starting the movie!! ;)

Since 1993, almost 400 women have been murdered in Juarez, Mexico, a factory town that is home to people who toil away at “maquiladoras” (border factories) making cheap consumer goods for the US market.

have fun! ;) magic

Get Smart

12 Oct

posterThere are some good laughs in “Get Smart”, but what surprised me is how well-done the action is :P .

The exhilarating freefall sequence that was probably designed as a homage to the opening of “Moonraker” to Carell’s and Hathaway’s quick, efficient fight scenes.

The explosions at the “bakery” factory to the incredibly kinetic final chase sequence involving various means of transportation, the action in this movie probably surpasses the recent James Bond pictures, helped by the fact that a lot of it seems to have been done by the actors themselves, willing to take some risks.

So people who are more into action than into comedy should still get some satisfaction out of this.

Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) is on a mission to thwart the latest plot for world domination by the evil crime syndicate known as KAOS.

When the headquarters of U.S. spy agency Control is attacked and the identities of its agents compromised, the Chief (Alan Arkin) has no choice but to promote… Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) is on a mission to thwart the latest plot for world domination by the evil crime syndicate known as KAOS.

Dance of the Dead

09 Oct

Every once in awhile a film comes along which breaks new ground.

Not to say that I’m a better judge than anyone else, it takes a lot to make my jaw drop. Gregg Bishop’s “Dance of the Dead” did that and more an added bonus is that I love horror movies anyway!! ooooh yeeahhh! :P

On the night of the big high-school Prom, the dead rise to eat the living, and the only people who can stop them are the losers who couldn’t get dates to the dance … us types always save the day lol :P

have fun and hide behind the cusions! ;) magic
