I am a native San Antonian that now resides in Houston, TX. I love films. Ever since 2001, when I started contacting celebrities, I began to LOVE movies - pre ...
Hmmm...Well, I am back, and have FINALLY used my free ticket for "Married Life", check out the review. I clearly am optimistic about the new Independent films that are slated to come out this week and beyond. Some of the films that look well constructed are "Meet Bill", "My Blueberry ... read morePosted on 05/02/2008 by dougiejr3 
Review of Married Life
Married With A PsychoWas really looking forward to this film, as I have been disappointed in the Independent Fare for the last few months, and was neither impressed nor disappointed. The film was finely acted, and well directed, yet the story was just a really depressing lifeless mess. Without a doubt, the main ... read morePosted on 05/02/2008 by dougiejr3 
Review of Cassandra's Dream
A Real NightmareI'll add this to the other BLAH movies that have come out in the indie houses - that now house Diary of the Dead, and Oscar revivals hoping to booster their attendance and cashflow. This year has been dreadful with hopefuls that shot high, but landed on a pile of ... read morePosted on 02/18/2008 by dougiejr3 blah, blah, blah movies for 2008...Don't know if this is ringing true with anyone else, but ALL of the movies that have come out this year, in 2008, are just BLAH! There's really no movie that has moved me, made me think harder, or more about the plot, the characters, etc., or even has had ... read morePosted on 02/18/2008 by dougiejr3 
Review of In Bruges
Deja Vu, Anyone?This film was mildly entertaining, and particularly strong in identifying with the audience and playing on our emotions. But, it did feel like the second coming of Cassandra's Dream - here's Collin Farrell, and he's just killed someone, he feels really guilty, wants to turn himself in, or do himself ... read morePosted on 02/11/2008 by dougiejr3 
Review of Teeth
Should've Scared Me Away...This film was particularly awful because of the serious content, the digusting special effects and the black comedy that it painted itself to be. Not for a moment did I identify with any of the characters. I felt disconnected the entire time and I wish that I hadn't used my ... read morePosted on 02/11/2008 by dougiejr3 
Review of I'm Not There
It's All ThereIn this deep and provacative documentary on the life of Bob Dylan, we are invited to share in many aspects of the life of the man and artist. Each performer turning in grand performances - Marcus Carl Franklin, as the young troubador mature beyond his years - both lyrically and ... read morePosted on 12/29/2007 by dougiejr3 Movies, movies, movies...Well, it's the last of the year - time for the studios to cram all of the good movies into about a 2 week time period. I'm definitely looking forward to The Orphanage, as well as Walk Hard, and The Great Debaters. Some that I've seen this week already - ... read morePosted on 12/23/2007 by dougiejr3 
Review of The Kite Runner
Go Fly A KiteA magnificent tale about friendship, family, love and redemption. Especially among so many non-actors and international actors, the story moves along rather well, due to the fine direction of Marc Forster. Have truly been impressed with Forster's last few offerings, Finding Neverland and Stranger Than Fiction. I have not read ... read morePosted on 12/18/2007 by dougiejr3 
Review of Romance and Cigarettes
Dancing and SexCan't say I was ready for Tony Soprano singing, nor was I ready for Kate Winslet's turn as a prostitute - also singing, but I WAS pleasantly surprised by the amazing movie that enveloped this story of cheating, sex, love, and family. Susan Sarandon, Mandy Moore, and the above mentioned ... read morePosted on 12/14/2007 by dougiejr3 |
