i havent had much chance to get out to the theatres lately , but since the november rains have arrived , i've stayed in and watched a few . theres been some good ones too
The Inside Man - i had heard a few negatives about this latest spike lee movie , but i really couldnt see why . it has a great cast , a good story and is very well shot . its a good bank heist movie . what else do you want on a rainy day
V For Vendetta - this is a movie that is a not so subtle critique of government control over its people . its based on a comic book series from britain and was written by the same people who did the Matrix movies . though it sometimes does get bogged down by its politics , its still a good action movie worth watching . besides , we all need to be on the look out for evil political agendae .
Hard Candy - ya just gotta love a great small independent movie ! this one is excellent . if you like your movies with clear black & white opinions on issues , dont bother . this movie is all about shades of grey . there is no one likeable in this movie and the movie does not take sides of this issues involved . i am purposely not going into detail about the plot so as not to dissuade ppl from seeing it . this movie is beautifully wondefully intense and it leaves you asking a lot of questions . very very good
Thank You For Smoking - when i saw trailers for this movie last spring , i didnt think i was going to like it at all . the trailer made it look like nothing but a mere slanted attack on lobbyists , but this film is much more balanced than advertised . sure the guy is an arrogant s.o.b. , but he is not just two dimensional . its looks at its issues form all sides and there is a good story . it was funny and serious when needed and i thouroughly enjoyed it
Wag the Dog - this is an oldie but a goodie . when it came out , clinton had just lobbed a missile into afghanistan during the monical controversy and many ppl made political hay with it . the thing is , this movie isnt partisan . when you watch it now as the states have been lied into going into iraq , this movie gives you an inside peek at how cynical politics can be . its the type of movie that should be mandatory viewing in schools . its what we should all be on the lookout for . it is an important film with an all star cast , excellently executed
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - another great indie film ! . this film is about a bunch of hollywood lowlifes who get caught up in a kind of campy 50s-ish detective adventure . it breaks every rule about film making and it had me laughing throughout . robert downey jr and val kilmer are perfectly cast in this great antihero movie . i dunno how ppl missed this one when it came out . i'm sure it will have a long rental life . its a classic
Lock , Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels - i dunno if it was me or the movie , but even though it came highly recommended , i wasnt all that impressed . to be fair , i did just have a molar pulled the day i watched it , so i was a tad groggy . it just didnt do it for me . it wasnt a bad film , but there are so many good british gangster films that are better . its prolly worth a look if its on tv sometime , if for nothing else than its excellent soundtrack . lots of great songs in this one
Kinky Boots - you'd think a movie about working class factory workers who save their jobs by making sexy boots for drag queens might have a lot of humour behind it . think again . unlike most of the films on this list , this movie was a formula and cliche as any movie you will ever see . it was soooooo dull . the acting was ok , but this movie just didnt do anything with its characters except lead them down the path to an ending that a 3 year old could predict in the first 2 minutes . dont waste your time with this one
The Matador - another cool indie film . pierce brosnan in a performance that is unlike anything you have seen previously , plays a scumbag hitman who is losing it . he befriends a humble businessman played by greg kinnear (who is turning out to be a barometer for good movies . if hes in it , its prolly worth a look) . their kinda kooky friendship and pierce's spiral downward makes for a lot of entertainment . it does kinda lag in a couple places , but in the end its well worth seeing
Art School Confidential - I had heard ppl had strong reactions one way or another about this film . either hate it or love it . my reaction ? well i didnt really have one . i just didnt care . the movie made no attempt to engage me . i didnt like the characters and the story was just ok , but not enough to hate . i woulda thought there would be some interesting dialogue about the art world , but it seemed like it was researched by a guy who spent an hour doing a search of "art" on AOL . skip this one . you wont be missing much
Its November 11th , which is Remembrance Day in Canada and Armistice Day in other parts of the world . at 11:00 this morning and take a moment to reflect on the scarifice others have made for us . then help to make sure no one ever gets sent to war unless absolutely necessary . lest we forget .....
after noon , take of your poppy and enjoy some sausages .
