The Death and Life of Bobby Z

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

The movie is not totally horrible, as action films go.

The main problem is the many plot holes in the narrative that the creators probably didn’t count on, or thought their viewers wouldn’t figure out how the whole mess was going to turn out.

John Herzfeld directed the screen play by Bob Krakower and Allan Lawrence.

The credibility gap is huge when the people involved asks us to accept things that don’t make too much sense.

Tim Kearney, a San Quentin prisoner with an “impulse control” problem, expects to spend the rest of his life in jail, until the FBI makes him an offer he can’t refuse.

He can go free if he agrees to assume the identity of the late drug lord, Bobby Z, so the Feds can deliver him to a Mexican kingpin in exchange for a kidnapped agent.

Married Life

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Married Life surfs a fine line between the comic and the tragic that is uncomfortable to acknowledge.

But humor definitely wins out in the end, leaving us with an ironic but optimistic view of the flaws that increasingly populate our public and private lives as we grow older.

Cooper and Brosnan achieve a fascinatingly contradictory friendship between two men that is unlike any other I’ve seen on screen in a long time.

Set in 1949, the story opens into a picturesque, affluent suburb where Harry Allen resides with his wife, Pat.

There’s trouble brewing beyond the perfect picket fences.

Harry has fallen deeply in love with a blonde beauty named Kay (Rachel McAdams).

He confesses his secret to his longtime bachelor friend, Richard (Pierce Brosnan), and even introduces Richard to the lovely Kay.

Unfortunately for Harry, Richard is instantly smitten, and makes up his mind that he will do whatever it takes to win Kay for himself.
