Review of Traitor
Traitor? Who Cares?Once again, let down by such promise. This film looked like another version of "The Bourne Identity", but oh, does it fall with a thud! First we are introduced to Don Cheadle's charachter - who is born and growing up in the Sudan - then - bam! We fast forward ... read morePosted on 09/04/2008 by dougiejr3 
Review of Shampoo
Wasted time...This film - written and directed and filmed by some of the greatest in Hollywood - flops. That's really all there is to say about it - it just lays there on the carpet, breathing until its last gasp, and flops. The best part of the film was Goldie Hawn ... read morePosted on 09/04/2008 by dougiejr3 
Review of A Clockwork Orange
Check the Clock.A very stylized film - but not expecting much else from Stanley Kubrick. Not much except violence and sex...to the tune of "Singin' in the Rain"? Yes, that sums up the experience of "A Clockwork Orange" chronicling the life of a young hoodlum named Alex through the period of violence ... read morePosted on 09/04/2008 by dougiejr3 
Review of The Dead Girl
Don't go hitchhiking...This film was fantastic! Apart from the stellar cast (Marcia Gay Harden, Kerry Washington, Rose Byrne, Brittany Murphy, Josh Brolin, Mary Beth Hurt, Mary Steenburgen, Toni Collette, Giovanni Ribisi, etc.), the story was a tremendous roller coaster ride! I am still thinking about it a few days later and it ... read morePosted on 09/04/2008 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 
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 
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 |
