Blue Jasmine (2013)
Usually when a major award is given out I can count on something no no no!!
I don't think any heterosexual male can possibly enjoy this movie. Except for the few appearances from Dice Clay who has been mia in major films for some time and puts the ever annoying lead in her place. There will be times that you will wish this was a horror film just to see Blanchetts Jasmine be slaughtered quite possibly the most annoying best actress nod I've seen since Susan Sarandon held hands with Sean Penn for 2 hours in Dead Man Walking remember that? No right, well there's a reason for that and unless you love a dull Allen picture with a whacked out talking to herself Blanchett you'll only remember this for the award win. ordinary people? Anyone? Lifetime movie of the week at best!
Words and Pictures (2013)
Feels like a stretched out short story with minimal humor
Really didn't like this one at all. Very plain boring lead characters. Drawn out with very little dramatic, romantic or comedic entertainment value. There are plenty other of options to pursue before you jump into this one definitely give something else a shot.Even if you enjoy Clive Owen as I usually do in most films I see him in its a tough watch. Definitely depressing you"ve been warned by credits i said out loud well could of done with out that one and you will to unless you're a teacher who can relate to the story i suppose.Its quite difficult to even provide a complete review for a film where so little actually happens I wanted to like this movie going in but instead i suffered through the second half of it and have hopefully reached the line requirements so i no longer have to talk about it good watching.
The Wedding Ringer (2015)
A fun twist on I love you man! With Paul Rudd good humor
A few years ago I saw I love you man starring Paul R and Jason S and found it to be an absolute blast the plot line here is similar but the grooms solution is a new twist that had hi jinx galore attached!A delight to watch not just a guy comedy. Well rounded out cast do not discard viewing if you are not a fan of previous films starring Kevin Hart this is a good comedy and a good overall effort from the whole cast not just Kevin Hart carrying the film himself delivers with fun and laughs start to finish all that can be expected a much more rewarding viewing experience for me than ride along as it had a more realistic and personal feel to it not saying I need complete realism in comedy than K Hart screaming at criminals to shoot him on a stripper pole good present day story with good laughs a fun watch will see it again
Hot Tub Time Machine 2 (2015)
Whoa whoa whoa!!! It"s funny and it"s good slow down !
Had a blast cracking up to this one in theatre with a friend earlier this week laughs from beginning to end and we both agreed possibly funnier than the first one. Cast is the main draw here as the chemistry between the original core 3 from original httmachinemovie yes John C is not in this film yes I am a fan of mostly everything he is in but no his absence does not hurt the comedic value in this sequel this is a funny movie and i will enjoy seeing it multiple times as I did the original hot tub time machine 2!!! A comedy about time travel lets not get crazy serious here and have some good laughs glad I saw this before I read unjustified critical backlash
A Most Violent Year (2014)
The real crime is the misdirecting trailer 2 hours of blah
A great fan of crime drama i rushed out to see this film. I can only say that I enjoyed the historical accuracy presented as it is an early 1980"s timeframe it takes place in. I've read the other reviews of people on here who really sound as if they are kidding themselves about the overall entertainment dramatic value presented in this film. I read a reviewer who stated the film is to be watched from the wives point of view only if that was the case are we (the viewer) usually presented with some form of narrative in any event largely underwhelming from my objective point of view many people I know disliked the dialogue heavy killing them softly or the coldness of the counselor but I greatly enjoyed both but this film had little to deliver other than a talented cast and very good design. It will not stand the test of time and will be forgotten completely in a few short years I look forward to seeing Jessica C in future films as I enjoyed her in most of her previous roles as well as Oscar I .
Fading Gigolo (2013)
Good Comedy even if you don't like Woody Allen Its Good!
The worlds oldest profession is never a dull subject and such is the case in fading gigalo. Very often when I go to talk with a friend or associate about this film I get shot down with "I don't like Woody Allen and "his" movies" and I get that(you don't like dry comedy that doesn't overwhelm but what needs to be understood is that this film is merely costarring Woody Allen as an enjoyable,humorously scheming accidental pimp in this film with John Turtorro handling the writing and direction excellent costars by the eternally seductive Sharon Stone and Sultry Sofia Vergara made this one interesting and fun for me especially Liev Schrieber as an overprotective neighborhood watch that gives sentimental and comedic value to the already comedic duo Of Turtorro and Allen.
Frankie & Alice (2010)
A good watch interesting and eerie at times plus Halle
Not tremendous not bad above average for certain. I recently watched Stellan S in Nymphomaniac vol 1&2 and I enjoy his performances more every time I see him and this movie is no exception as a doctor who reconnects with his professional passions while seeking to help the dual personality conflicted Frankie (Berry) a bit of mystery in this as well will keep you wanting to know what happens til credits also a good initial watch especially if you enjoy starring roles of Halle Berry where see gets to display her range as an actress in dramatic roles that do more than simply showcase her beauty exp Monsters Ball. I like the time period as well as the insight to Frankie's profession in that era as well and enjoyed the the how did it aspect of this movie.
Mr. Morgan's Last Love (2013)
Enjoyed Michael Caine in this good ,believable performance
Last Love with Michael Cane is the tale of a widower at the crossroads a difficult predicament for any living soul.The film made me call to mind the role of Marlon Brando in the ever controversial Last Tango In Paris only from the widower angle of course but similar.His acting(Michael Caine) was extremely convincing and he is the kind of character you root for because of his grief and his strained relationships with his children.This movie is a great chance to see one of our finest screen actors in a leading role as well as explore the beautiful Parisian backdrop through the eyes of an unwilling unadaptive American to stubborn and grief stricken to change until he meets a compelling pretty young woman.
Palo Alto (2013)
Don't do it dog it's just not worth it!
OK so I see James Franco whom I enjoy and like very much(he is not in this one enough to make his kind of impact if you like the guy warning)additional warning even if you like him you will not like the character he portrays in this one that's a given Coppola in the directors box and I get way to far ahead of myself this one wasn't super long in it's run time but it sure felt like an eternity dreary and with characters that you really just are not going to be that invested in one way or another. Palo Alto had it's moments but to far and to few and I do like an artistic film from time to time and I usually enjoy coming of age tales more than the next guy but this was just not entertaining for me not at all. Just rather I watched something else
God's Pocket (2014)
Very Good realistic drama real people story most can relate to
I enjoyed God's Pocket for what it was a well written well acted movie about everyday colorful characters in a working class tight-nit neighborhood. Anyone from such a background would enjoy the portrayals of the human condition represented in this film desire, violence, dark humor, desperation and anyone outside of that would still relate to the humanity wonderfully illustrated by the excellent cast in this movie. If you are a fan of P.S.H it is a must see as he is the lead in every sense of the word and John Turt. seems to always leave you wanting to see more of him in his masterful performances. A fun costar by Domenick Lombardozzi as well adds tension and dark humor as well . Definitely worth a watch I enjoyed God's Pocket
The Purge: Anarchy (2014)
Underachiever worst than the first unworthy of a good premise a base defiller!!!
*****Spoiler Alert******Mild but still gives insight I saw this about two weeks after it was in theaters and was very disappointed. The first film was no masterpiece but at least it delivered on what it advertised, this did not. Rather than have the viewer fearing for they're own life while watching it as the preview with face painted kamikaze purgers would indicate this winds up being a bleeding heart, social statement type film I saw some other reviews on here that had my head spinning "It explores themes of social hierarchy, revenge,etc." what?!? themes ? It's a movie built on the idea that one night a year all crime is legal that's you're theme! We shouldn't be doing any exploring we should be purging and seeing purgers lots and lots of it not just following the running for our lives with the sappy feel good characters exp. the inner city mother and her spunky daughter, the hopeless couple you cant help but root for because you feel bad for them and the poor mans punisher so hell bent on revenge that he lets his conscience conflict with everything he's been waiting til purge night to do oh and tragic misuse of Michael K Williams (Omar HBO's The Wire)as a tech savvy anti-purge militant i horrendously misleading previews and ad campaign which I guess props to those guys because you understood the target audience more than the creators of the actual film stay out of the horror genre if you're gonna just cash in and not deliver this movie can go purge itself
Stand Up Guys (2012)
Great ! Loved it!
I got out to the theater to catch this movie and could not of been more pleased. I laughed hysterically at the cynical humor and really enjoyed how as the story progressed I really got ensconced into these characters. Loved beginning to end. I especially enjoyed Vanessa Ferlito's(deathproof) appearance I look forward to see much more of her in future films. Allan Arkin was a great compliment to Pacino and Walkens lead. I found it unfortunate that on opening day of this movie there were only four showtimes.As I awaited entrance at the concession I felt supreme confidence when the previous showing let out and there was nothing but smiles on the faces of the patrons exiting the previous showing.
