One-Line Film Review: "The Hulk"

One-Line Film Review: "The Hulk" 10/28/2003 11:06 PM
"The Hulk": Terrific comic-book picture-in-picture and Ka i-esque interstitials and transitions stitch together virtual PETA violations, Nick Nolte freakiness, CG-for-the-sake-of-CG, silly dialogue, and general unbelievability.

P.s. Upon leaving the theatre (I didn't quite find the force of will to leave before the end), I was asked by an incoming patron what I thought. "Comic book neophyte I may be, but I'll stick to the Bill Bixby version, thank you very much."

One-Line Film Review: "The Hunted"

One-Line Film Review: "The Hunted" 10/28/2003 11:06 PM
"The Hunted" (not to be confused with "Benji the Hunted"): Gorgeous cinematography and unsurpassed Pacific NW scenery couldn't mask the overall feel of watching two men face off slow-mo in a blender.

One-Line Film Review: "The Italian Job"

One-Line Film Review: "The Italian Job" 10/28/2003 11:06 PM
"The Italian Job": A Mini Cooper chase extravaganza, the lovely (South African) Charlize Theron, and geeky delight Seth Green pull together a rather thin plot into an enjoyable evening's entertainment.

One-Line Film Review: "Terminator 3" 10/28/2003 11:06 PM
"Terminator 3": I have seen the end of the future and it is software--"Gnutella'll be back!"

P.s. I must admit I'm confused by the radio silence around this film. Not a word in the usual geek forums. Nobody I know's seen it yet--or seems to care to. Go figure.

Film review twin-pack: DECASIA and
Bodysong 02/01/2005 09:18 PM
Last night, I went to my local cinema for what was advertised as an experimental film double-bill. The films offered were DECASIA (USA, 2002) and Bodysong (UK, 2003). The introduction to these films informed us that they had not been shown as a pair before, but they work well together: each is composed of "found" material and not specially filmed footage, neither features any discernable plot, speech or narrative (perhaps arguable in the case of Bodysong, see below), both are accompanied by excellent musical scores and both are artistic in a way that most cinema fare is not.

Fox News review of Fahrenheit 9/11: "a
film that members of all political
parties should see without fail" 06/16/2004 02:01 AM
Will wonders never cease. Roger Friedman reviewed Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" tonight on Fox News: a really brilliant piece of work, and a film that members of all political parties should see without fail. As much as some might try to marginalize this film as a screed against President George Bush, "F9/11" — as we saw last night — is a tribute to patriotism, to the American sense of duty — and at the same time a indictment of stupidity and avarice.... Before anyone's even seen it, there have been partisan debates over which way Moore may have spun this or that to get a desired effect. But, really, in the end, not seeing "F9/11" would be like allowing your First Amendment rights to be abrogated, no matter whether you're a Republican or a Democrat... On the other hand, there are more than enough moments that seemed to resonate with the huge Ziegfeld audience. The most indelible is Bush's reaction to hearing on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, that the first plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. Bush was reading to a grade-school class in Florida at that moment. Instead of jumping up and leaving, he instead sat in front of the class, with an unfortunate look of confusion, for nearly 11 minutes. Moore obtained the footage from a teacher at the school who videotaped the morning program. There Bush sits, with no access to his advisers, while New York is being viciously attacked. I guarantee you that no one who sees this film forgets this episode. How times have changed. It seems like the establishment is finally wising up to Bush's incompetence. At least I hope so. Or maybe Friedman's body will be found floating in the river tomorrow. I hope not. Via Strangelove....

One-Line Film Review: "Pirates of the
Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" 10/28/2003 11:06 PM
"Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl": To paraphrase from the movie itself, Johnny Depp is both the best and worst pirate I've ever seen, an inspired performance worthy of my $8.00 in and of itself.

P.s. It took me a while to place Keira Knightley from Bend It Like Beckham.
