  • Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire (R, 2009)

    - by hobster1
    Emotionally uncompromising portrait of an overweight, illiterate inner city teen who has just become...[ read more ] pregnant with her second child. Unflinching study is so raw and harrowing, it?s difficult to watch in parts. Be warned, this is grim stuff. Director Lee Daniels wisely lightens the proceedings with sporadic fantasy sequences that provide some relief, even humor, to the cruel details of her life. Extraordinary newcomer Gabourey Sidibe as Precious heads up a cast that is uniformly excellent. Also of special note is standup comedian Mo'Nique in a courageously grotesque performance as her abusive mother. Impressive drama takes the viewer to places that will make you uncomfortable, but it presents her circumstances honestly and with humanity.

  • The Fourth Kind (PG-13, 2009)

    - by flickfever
    If The Fourth Kind supposed to make you believe in aliens or, at least, make you re-evaluate your b...[ read more ]eliefs, let me tell you: it probably won't. Even though it's being marketed as "based on the actual case studies," the movie ends up feeling more phony than anything concocted in fiction could have ever felt.

    When a group of Nome, Alaska residents begin to encounter strange dreams and eerie night-time episodes of sleeplessness and feeling a presence in the room a Dr. Abigail Tyler (psychologist) begins to sniff around. She thinks, of course, that these strange occurrences have something to do with her own husbands mysterious death some time before. He had been investigating similar, paranormal events in the small frigid community before his demise.

    When things begin getting tragic in Nome, Tyler is forced to reconsider what may be happening to the residents. She must hastily acknowledge that the only explanation is that someone or something is controlling the events. When she decided to videotape some of the patient sessions, that when things start to get really bad.

    And I mean that in more ways than one. Not only to the events in the plot become more strange and mysterious--but that's when the movie itself begins to dwindle. The gimmick of this film is that the "real-life" evidence recorded by the "real" Dr. Tyler is interpolated throughout the film with the dramatized version of those events. Often, you get split screens with both the real footage and the phony footage. The phony footage being (in my opinion) the real-life videotapes.

    It all seems beyond the realm of belief, even for a film that is science fiction. But if anything is supposed to be grounded in fact, it's that this movie would have been better being either all "real-life" or all dramatized. The whole splitting your attention for credibility's sake makes it all too distracting and not engaging enough. It's too much of a ploy to manipulate your discretion and ability to discern fact from fiction.

    In the end, all you really end up witnessing is a bunch of static on a videotape. It really proves nothing more than you already may or may not have believed. If anything it cements the skeptics' opinion even more and clouds the murky faith of the believers even more. It really proves nothing or has anything new to say in terms of alien science fiction film.

    If the fourth kind of alien contact is abduction, then the fifth kind must be boredom.

  • The Blind Side (PG-13, 2009)

    - by cenzano38
    The Blind Side is based on a true story about Michael Oher. I became interested in this movie since ...[ read more ]they first started showing previews, because I'd heard about him before the '08 draft, and had read about him. The movie is a little off when compared to the real story, but it's all small things that I'm sure were changed to "Hollywood" the movie up.

    It was a very good movie that I'm guessing will earn Bullock an Oscar nomination. Although she's the bright piece to this movie, she's not the only thing good about it. It's a very positive movie that shows the progression of Oher at the most critical point in his life.

    Although Bullock is the best actor in The Blind Side, there are some other good actors here. Get used to the name Jae Head. He plays the younger Touhy, SJ, and is the kid from Hancock. He was funny. Lily Collins, playing the daughter named Collins, is Phil Collins daughter, and didn't get much to work with, but didn't do anything to harm the movie. Tim McGraw is an entertaining actor, and I think he's pretty good. Quinton Aaron's only body of work besides playing Michael is a charming little movie called Be Kind Rewind, where if he had any speaking parts, they are few. When it came time to actually act in The Blind Side, he did a fair job.

    It's not a deep, Oscar caliber movie like I thought it was going to be, and that's a shame, because they had one of the most interesting real life stories I've heard to work with. I probably had my hopes up too high, but it was still a good movie. I just wish they had more time, or found a better writing team and director.

    If you're an NFL fan, and go see The Blind Side, I assure you that the next Ravens game you watch, you'll be locked onto number 74 for at least a few plays, and like the movie, you won't be disappointed.

  • The Fourth Kind (PG-13, 2009)

    - by u2acro
    Wow. This movie was just... Let's put it this way: I'm glad I saw this for free via screener passes....[ read more ]

    The big deal with "The Fourth Kind" is that it's supposed to be a documentary, but not, but a horror, but not. It's real, but not, with enhanced scenes, but they're not really enhanced - they're pretty much lies disguised as "literary liberties."

    The movie tries to get cute by interrupting the movie with "archived footage" from "real case studies," which, yeah, sometimes seems true and sometimes is laughable. It's annoying, though, because the "archived footage" often shares split-screentime with the current, Milla Jovovich-acted movie. Sound confusing? Sometimes it is. It's such an elaborate plot device for a movie that has more loose ends than a bevy of whores in Hollywood.

    Milla Jovovich does ok with the material she's given, I suppose. She often overacts, but her lines are goofy and her motivation is just ridiculous.

    The bit players have roles that do nothing but cause chaos, and their motivations to do/say or not do/say things are even crazier than Jovovich's. The sheriff? Yeah, he's nuts and a bad, bad actor.

    Plot holes... oh, there are so many plot holes. Start a "plot hole bingo" card and check them all off.

    I came away from "The Fourth Kind" thinking about aliens and space and humanity, because those subjects intrigue me -- but I didn't come away frightened. Honestly, the people who are calling this "one of the greatest horror movies of the year" might possibly have been abducted themselves.

  • The Blind Side (PG-13, 2009)

    - by flickfever
    The Blind Side is a truly inspirational, true story that leaps from the real-life annals of its hist...[ read more ]ory onto the big screen with effortlessness and comfortable familiarity. It is a film that we've seen in one plot form or another, but somehow feels genuine and poignant despite it familiar trappings. Even though it's a movie that's been "done-to-death," this one is different.

    Sandra Bullock delivers one of her best performances as a southern belle who is determined to improve the life of a down-on-his-luck, black teenager. The boy (played by Quinton Aaron) strikes a chord with his subtly diffused performance as the displaced fellow from the wrong side of the tracks who is caught between two worlds.

    The story of a man rising from the ashes of a broken home; non-existent childhood and illiteracy is truly inspirational. But it is the help of Sandra Bullocks character that all of this is made possible. It is because of the spunky, relentlessly no-nonsense approach of this woman that this young man is able to achieve what he never thought possible. And, after he becomes a real part of her family, everything is within reach--and he's grateful.

    The dynamic of the family and Michael (the boy) is one that is so great to watch. It's truly a joy to see people embracing someone so different from themselves and taking them in without question as to their background or color. It is inconsequential to them and all that matters is helping out another individual in need--whether that poor, homeless boy had been black or white.

    Eventually, the success of Michael as a high school football star and a college-bound student is a remarkable story. The boy ultimately finds it within himself to persevere not because someone is forcing him to; but because he finally realize the value of his life and discovers what having dignity truly represents.

    Of course, there are occasional sappy moments; saccharine dialogue and predictable black vs. white encounters and snide, snappy, bitchy episodes with Bullock's character. But, ultimately, the movie moves along quite well; provides more than enough humor mixed with enough heart to make for a more than satisfying time at the movies.

  • Couples Retreat (PG-13, 2009)

    - by DrZeek
    Joey: Are you telling me, that after 7 years of marriage, you can still get aroused by the same woma...[ read more ]n.
    Dave: I do.

    Despite having assembled quite the cast for a movie with a good premise, this is an overlong, not terribly funny, product placement filled excuse to have talented people spend time in Bora Bora and let us watch.

    There are four couples in this film. One is Dave and Ronnie, played by Vince Vaughn and Malin Akerman, a couple with kids, and simple overworking problems. Another is Joey and Lucy, played by Jon Favreau and Kristin Davis, a couple counting the days for their daughter to go off to college so they can separate. The next is divorced Shane, played by Faizon Love, and his 20 year old new girlfriend Trudy. Finally, there is Jason and Cynthia, played by Jason Bateman and Kristen Bell, a couple about to get a divorce because of the stress from trying to conceive.

    Jason and Cynthia have a plan to keep their marriage going, however they need all their friends to help out with the expenses. The plan is a giant group getaway to a paradise location in Bora Bora, known as Eden. Its a special group rate that should allow them to participate in all sorts of fun, however the fun also comes with couple's therapy sessions. Now each couple must try to learn more about how to stay close to each other.

    The movie just isn't very funny. This is somewhat surprising, given that it is scripted by Vaughn and Favreau, however it isn't surprising that it is only their scenes together that really work. Certainly not helping is the PG-13 rating, restricting anyone from really cutting deep into comedic territory.

    The assemblage of this movie isn't very well handled either. Directed by Vaughn and Favreau's producing pal Peter Billingsly (Ralphie from A Christmas Story), this movie really suffers from pacing issues, bad cutting, excessive moments of repeated jokes and lines of dialog, and some pretty forced product placement - see the five minute Guitar Hero showdown/commercial. Add to that a completely terrible ending from a story standpoint, and the whole thing is pretty much a misfire.

    The few redeeming qualities do come from Vaughn doing what Vince Vaughn does well, with quick and smart dialog, Favreau embracing another dick character well, Faizon Love being a generally entertaining guy, and the ladies all looking nice.

    Certainly not a movie that needs to be seen anytime soon.

    Dave: Thanks for bringing us here to problem island by the way.

  • The Men Who Stare at Goats (R, 2009)

    - by her69eyes
    The title has all the potential in the world - "The Men Who Stare at Goats". Unfortunately, however,...[ read more ] the premise doesn't get much richer than that. With one joke in it's repertoire and a painfully uninteresting leading character, the film becomes an endurance test, even at a mere ninety minutes.

    The film marks the directorial debut for Grant Heslov, who co-wrote and produced "Good Night and Good Luck" alongside George Clooney. Here, Clooney plays Lyn Cassady, an infamous ex-Special Ops military officer. He trained under Bill Django (Jeff Bridges) of the New Earth Army, a group of psychic spies determined to help America become the world's first super power with super powers. Cassady refers to himself as a "Jedi warrior", winking at the audience with none other than Obi Wan as his co-star.

    Our tour guide through this absurdity is a journalist based out of Ann Arbor, Michigan: Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor). In an attempt to prove his worth to his wife, his compromised ego has led him to Kuwait. Together, with Cassady, the two are kidnapped by a group of Iraqi soldiers. It soon becomes quite evident that their only defense is, well, Cassady's supposed psychic powers.

    The film's best moments are most certainly the flashback sequences with Bill Django. This isn't new territory for Bridges, but his free-living hippie is still as entertaining as ever. However, as delightfully eccentric as the members of the New Earth Army may be, McGregor's character is written so dreadfully thin that all of the "real time" scenes are a bit of a bore. McGregor is usually good, but here he's completely miscast.

    "The Men Who Stare at Goats" is entertaining until you realize that there isn't much more to it than grown men running into walls. Heslov fails to take a stance with the material - he's attempting to satirize the military, but meanwhile he fully embraces the psychic spies at the head of the picture. The film may have made a brilliant skit on Saturday Night Live, but there's not enough substance here to constitute a feature length effort.
