“She says the jungle… it just came alive and took him.” A shot of outer-space. Someone, something is arriving on Earth. Dutch’s also landing, but from an helicopter, not a spaceship. Dutch’s a real man’s man, masterfully played by the always great Arnold Schwarzenegger. Rough beard, sharp haircut, huge muscles and a big cigar in mouth, Dutch is the kind of character Schwarzie was born…
“There’s Howard Hughes in blue suede shoes, smiling at the majorettes smoking Winston cigarettes.” Genesis, Broadway Melody of 1974 Before going into self-imposed Q-U-A-R-A-N-T-I-N-E, Howard Hughes was America’s first billionaire, a Hollywood producer who made the tabloid headlines as much as the starlets of his movies and a pioneer of the air travel business. Taking control of his Texan family’s “drill bits” fortune as a…
“An Absolute Blast!” – George Romero “It’s a 10 on the fun meter and destined to be a cult classic.” – Stephen King “The Most Entertaining Film I Have Seen All Year.” – Peter Jackson Do you still need little old me to convince you to see the damn movie? Aah, if you insist… “Shaun of the Dead” IS an absolute blast, it IS an…
Movie Infos Title: You’ve Got Mail Year: 1998 Director: Nora Ephron Writer: Nora Ephron, Delia Ephron Starring: Tom Hanks Meg Ryan Parker Posey Greg Kinnear Jean Stapleton … Time: 119 min. Genre: Comedy / Romance I’m such a chick sometimes… I’m a total sucker for romantic comedies. I also love big dumb action flicks, raunchy comedies and gritty dramas, but I still have a soft…
By most accounts, people are having a tough time accepting Téa Leoni’s character in “Spanglish” and her utter lack of redeeming qualities. Furthermore, many wonder why Adam Sandler’s character stands by her in spite of all her self-centered tantrums. I’ll offer my 2 cents. The way I see it, John Clansky (Sandler) is the kind of guy who’s never been all that smooth with the…
Why does every other movie have to get a sequel? As a child of the ‘80s, I do cherish the Indiana Jones, Lethal Weapon and Back to The Future series (among others), and just this year there were at least two sequels that outdone their predecessors (“Spidey 2” and “Before Sunset” if you’re keeping count), but in most cases this is a recipe for disaster. I loved the hell out…
One of the central themes of “Black Swan” is the notion that perfection is not necessarily just about getting every step right. To become transcendent, you have to let go at some point and to accept to get lost, because that’s the only way to surprise both yourself and the audience. This is the challenge facing Natalie Portman‘s character Nina, a ballerina desperate to star…
Movie Infos Title: Desperado Rating: Year: 1995 Director: Robert Rodriguez If “El Mariachi” was Robert Rodriguez’ “A Fistul of Dollars”, this is his “For a Few Dollars More”… Actually, 6 993 000 dollars more! How do you say… Ah yes: Antonio Banderas reprises the role of El Mariachi (first played by Carlos Gallardo, who cameos as one of Banderas’ “bandmates”). Here you’ve got a…
Here’s the deal, I’m a little hungover today. Does that mean that I’m drunk? No, that means I was drunk yesterday. Anyway, I went to this Battle of the Bands show and saw the craziest act, School of Rock I think it was called. You shoulda seen it, all these little brats burning up the stage… They’re with a substitute teacher, and you know who…
What a day. Hardships, cruel twists of fate, but also the kindness of strangers. You see, I got this call from FedEx saying they weren’t able to deliver a package because they didn’t have the code to be buzzed into my apartment building. I figured that going to them might be less complicated, but how wrong I was! An hour of subway and bus to…
