Andy's Recent Reviews

WALL-E WALL-E G 4.5 Stars
As expected Pixar triumphs yet again with a wonderful addition to their perfect library. There is alot being said underneath this film about how we live and things we must do if we have any hope for a future. Some have taken offense to this in-your-face scolding of the "American Lifestyle", but I think the message is strong and sound and needs a little bit of telling. Andrew Stanton again shows that he, Brad Bird and John Lassiter and the 3 Musketeers of animation. Beautiful thomas Newman score, as usual. Very nice, sweet and vital film.
Twilight Twilight PG-13 3.0 Stars
I finally took the plunge and watched it. I didn't hate it. I was led to believe it was the worst crap in history. Wrong. Yes, its most definitely a chick flick. It also has wrinkles in Vampire Mythology you would never expect. I mean vampire Baseball? WTF? Yea, kinda silly, killy kinda dumb in spots, but completely watchable, at least to see where the story takes us. I have noit read these books.. but such a reluctant Vampire as Edward is reminds me of Anne Rice's epic Vampire Novels, which I read most of. It never rises to that level in anyway... but for the teen crowd this is Lestat lite. Anyways.. I dont know.. did like carter Burwell's score, but thats a given. Didn't hate, didn't love it.
Godzilla 2000 Godzilla 2000 PG 3.5 Stars
Only the Japaneese can make a good GODZILLA movie. Had a great time with this. Sure, the MAN IN SUIT effects are cheesy compared to bog time Hollywood FX, but the intent is great AND I enjoy the sense of scale and scope. Godzilla looks KA-FRIGGIN-HUGE, and that is something Hollywood blows it on. SCOPE. Make it feel BIG. Enjoy the story as well, although it was the same story we've scene in every GODZILLA movie mostly.. GOdzilla protects Tokyo from the evil OTHER Monster. Great fun to be had here.
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 R 3.0 Stars
Meh. I will always love Tony Scott's bend on things, but ultimately this remake is hollow. I like the attempt at crafting interesting characters for Washington and Travolta, but sadly they get lost and the movie fizzles toward the end. I felt no menace from Travolta's "Ryder" as well. He did bad things, but then his dialogue felt corny and forced. James Gandolfini as the Mayor of NYC was a waste. Nice score by Harry Gregson-Williams. In the end unless, like me, you are a Tony Scott fan you may not get much more out of this than C-grade a mindless caper film.
Sphere Sphere PG-13 2.0 Stars
Re-watched this for the first time in many years. WOW! I forgot how much this movies stinks. Toobad, because the centrail idea is very interesting. Sharon Stone is hideously miscast and bad in this. This movie is an embarresent.
Terminator Salvation Terminator Salvation PG-13 3.0 Stars
It never reaches the level of Terminator and Terminator 2 by a mile but I still think there is enough of what makes Terminator films good to please me. Fantastic set pieces and a "guest appearance" by a previous Terminator make the film. Yes, there are some things I might do differently but overall I was somewhat pleased with how this turned out.

    Samson and Delilah Samson and Delilah
    4.5 Stars by Jeremy
    Probably one of the best Australian film ever, certainly one of its most powerful, dealing with the nation's elephant in the room, the indigenous Australians. A harrowingly confronting film about youth, indigenous culture, disadvantage and poverty ultimately turns into a subtle but extremely moving love story. A quietly beautiful film that gets under your skin and shakes you too your core. Particularly powerful from an Australian perspective the film looks hard at a shameful fact of Australian society, without moralizing or pointing blame, the film transcends the subject matter and creates a powerful love story. But be prepared for its slow style and its ability to emotionally drain you.

    One of the best worst movies ever. I can hardly believe I've seen what I've seen.

    Yes I waited 10 years to watch it. And it was good. The 1981 concept of 'A Brain in a Vat' is very well explained. Props. Could have been better though.
