Mamma Mia! - PG-13
|
|
The start and ending are very Disney-like but thankfully the meat of it is highly entertaining. A rare well-done modern movie musical.

If you like teen soap drama with horrible music and nothing original about it then perhaps this movie is for you.

House of Sand (Casa de Areia) - R
|
|
While beautiful cinematographically, there wasn't much to this movie. And the sudden jumps in time and multiple-role characters were a bit annoying, even if they were meant to be symbolic.

Another sexually charged Catherine Breillat film. Rather pointless, and a bit depressing.

Airport - G

This movie started out very slowly, focusing primarily on character development and giving an excellent glimpse into the everyday operations of a major aiport. But once the action picked up, and the characters were fleshed out, it turned out to be quite entertaining.

Door to Door - Unrated

A touching story about a man with cerebral palsy who chooses to overcome the adversity he faces. William Macy delivers a fantastic performance and is backed by a stellar supporting cast.

The Assignment - R
|
|
I can't believe this movie is not more widely well-known. It's a great action flick that also delves into the mindset of an undercover operative trying to adjust back to life as a civilian with a family. Aidan Quinn's acting is fantastic, with two powerhouse supporting actors in Ben Kingsley and Donald Sutherland. And, while fictionalized, it is also based on the true story of the infamous terrorist Carlos the Jackal. Well-written and great directing to boot.

Ice Cube is at the bottom of his acting game, and the characters and execution are just plain silly. Thankfully Elizabeth Hurley is her hot self to salvage any shred of reason to watch this movie.

The plot was tight and the action was taut. Al Pacino and Colin Farrell actually turn in strong acting performances as well. The twist was expected, but still effective nonetheless.

The music didn't annoy me as much as the first time I watched it. Good quality suspenseful movie. The ending would've been perfect if they didn't use it as the setup for a (probably lame) sequel.

Very well-directed glimpse into the intertwined lives of two bi males and the transsexual they both love. Ironically, Yasmine Belmadi died in a scooter accident this summer; his character tells Mikhail about a serious accident he had on a scooter.

I thought this was a fine action flick, featuring a good mix of vengeance and redemption, and without overdoing the sappiness. Solid acting as well.
