Movie Review – Gomorra (2008)

By
Dave
Published: September 18, 2009Posted in: UncategorizedTags: ,

Gomorra 4

Director: Matteo Garrone
Writer: Roberto Saviano (book) and Maurizio Braucci (screenplay)
Genre: Crime/Drama

Gomorra, although certainly not the greatest mafia movie ever made, is a good film. The acting is odd at times, but never gives that awful sinking feeling that bad performances give. The story was actually hard to follow. Watching the film in three sessions very late at night probably did not help that out much, but overall the film did feel a little scattered. There are competing forces in this mafia and the very is taken through a few different angles of the situation so that you can sympathize with each group in a certain sick way. Really you just feel sorry for the innocent that found themselves caught in the mix; there were few innocent in the film though so it doesn’t get too emotional.

Gomorra 2

The real heart of the film is the fact that it feels so real. There is emotion in the realization that there are things very close to this actually happening in the world. Films that gloss everything over and pay no attention to making a film connect with the viewer loose was is freely given to every filmmaker; reality. Gomorra is able to strike to the real human aspect of the story and present it in a believable and almost nonchalant manner. The fact that it does not become full of itself makes it seem as if it is almost downplaying the atrocities that may have actually taken place in real life. The directing is the driver of this emotion throughout the film, but the story and acting are able to make everything fit together.

Gomorra 3

It is obvious that there are some professional actors in the film and some people that may have never even thought about being in a film that they just grabbed off the street. None of the performances really stand out so that your are not stuck with this thought that there is one person in the equation that is more important than the next. All of the players come together to make their world the way that it is. This is the major difference from most mafia movies made and the reason why Gomorra actually could be considered as great as some people say it is. The truth is that it never gives as much gore or a sense of power that is always yearned for in a film about mafia. This is the only aspect of the film that truly brings it down. If you went into the film not expecting it to have anything to do with mafia and blood money you might find a real gem that is otherwise covered by a sea of cliche mafia film expectations.

Movie Review – The Reader (2008)

By
Dave
Published: June 23, 2009Posted in: UncategorizedTags: , , , ,

The Reader 3

Director: Stephen Daldry
Writer: David Hare (screenplay) and Bernhard Schlink (book)
Genre: Drama/Romance

The Reader will shock most with it’s harsh narrative and surprisingly steamy romance, yet it still manages to deliver a hard hitting and compelling story. The Reader follows Michael Berg (David Kross younger and Ralph Fiennes older), a young man who happens upon a lonely older women who helps him when he is very sick.  He is able to make it home where he is bed ridden for weeks.  Once Michael recovers from his terrible sickness he goes to thank the woman, Hanna Schmitz (Kate Winslet). She at first seems very stand offish, but suddenly everything changes and they have a long affair. Later they part ways, but Michael cannot stop thinking about her and when in law school observes a WWII war-crime trial in which she is a defendant. Now Michael must watch his first love be questioned in the court and decide if he will help to defend her with knowledge he has gained from their relationship.

The Reader 5

The story of The Reader, although not an uplifting one, is quite compelling. After getting through the steamy beginning of the film you are left with an emotional drama working its best to get your eyes watering. Thankfully, the earlier part of the film establishes the characters enough to make you feel for them and connect with their stories. This forces relevance on the emotion of the later portion of the film. Aside from emotion though, the story is interesting to watch unfold. You do not just accept each part as it happens and figure out what is going to happen next; instead you are forced to think about what you would do if presented with the same situation and wonder what the characters in the film will do. Engaging and masterfully written.

The Reader 4

The acting is likely the largely talked about aspect of the film especially due to Kate Winslet’s excellent performance. Seemingly emotionless for most of the film, Hanna (Winslet) occasionally provides chilling expressions. A perfect portrayal of a person so determined to keep a secret that she will sacrifice everything else that she has to do it. David Kross is no light weight in The Reader either though; delivering powerful lines and a dynamic character of passion. Ralph Fiennes, even with the large credit on the movie poster does not have the hard hitting role in this one until just near the end and really only briefly. When he delivers he delivers with excellence though. Although Fiennes and Winslet are expected to be great they out do themselves and Kross shows he can perform with the best of them. Tremendous acting in a difficult story to act out.

The Reader 2

Overall it was the mixture of story and acting that made the film. The directing and editing of the film created a good flow to present this masterpiece which I dare say is not going to be liked by many people. I say it is not going to be a film most people will like because it is just so sad. There are redeeming moments, but most are in the beginning and after you are torn apart throughout the middle and end of the film there is not much left for a smile. I love movies that really get to your emotions whether it be happiness, sadness, anger, or fear does not really matter to me unless I am just in the mood for one in particular. Make no mistake though, The Reader should (if you let it) leave you in a dreary state. I could not help but be excited about how well made it was and how great the performances were so that was enough for me to be happy. However, the casual moviegoer beware this is not a movie for happy entertainment.  In addition if you are offended by nudity be warned that Winslet, as in a lot of her films, bares all and David Kross isn’t shy either.  I highly recommend to those that are a fan of the book or are looking for a well made movie with great acting in it.

Movie Review – Man Overboard (2008)

By
Dave
Published: June 15, 2009Posted in: UncategorizedTags: , , , ,

Director: Oliver Robins
Writer: Ashley Scott Meyers and Nathan Ives
Genre: Comedy

Man Overboard attempts to get you excited about boats and salesmen, but leaves room for improvement. Although it was funny for the most part and never overly obnoxious or offensive, it lacked a little bit of direction. It tipped from family friendly light comedy to slightly offensive adult only comedy. If only it were to take out a few of the offensive scenes and some of the language it could easily be rated close to PG or PG-13. If I had one recommendation it would be to edit it towards family film. The problem with the other direction is that it feels to light at times to come close to being edgy or offensive humor.

The directing, although nothing remarkable, gets the job done quite cleanly. At times the scenery seems sparse and a bit set up, but of course budget constraints are likely the culprit. The directing mainly came down to the family versus adult edgy aspect which if one direction was strongly chosen it would have been much better. It is almost like the director and writers may have been torn a little about which way to take it and in the end found themselves somewhere in between. The writing was capable and some of the lines were quite good and most importantly funny.

The cast mainly made up of TV actors was another source of the almost sitcom feel; the set seemed set up and the actors almost played into the audience applause or laughter which was actually not there. The acting was only suspect on a few occasions though, and certainly did not take away from the film. Were the film to be done by movie stars it would have been better, but not significantly.

It all boils down to the fact that it was a low budget film made by mainly TV actors and it felt like it too. The reason it did not leave a lasting impression is that it was not harsh enough to get a rise out of me and not clean enough to watch with the whole family. It felt very much like a TV show with the F word thrown in from time to time just to remind you that it was not a TV show. It was worth the watch though, and definitely funny enough to make me laugh. Good for a light afternoon comedy.

Movie Review – Doubt (2008)

By
Dave
Published: May 17, 2009Posted in: UncategorizedTags: , , , ,

doubt-1

Director: John Patrick Shanley
Writer: John Patrick Shanley
Genre: Drama

John Patrick Shanley takes his play and adapts it into a film with two of the best actors of our time. Meryl Streep, who almost fit the role too well, was an excellent choice. She is certainly good at playing the character with no remorse and who will stop at nothing to get her way. Philip Seymour Hoffman also fits his role with excellence, but it is undoubtedly an opposite role. The two were a perfect match; throw in an Amy Adams and you have a stellar cast. There is no question why the play that this film is based off of won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2005. The story is the strong foundation for the accomplished film.

doubt-4

The story is about a catholic priest (Hoffman) who is the head of a school. He wants to make the school and church more inviting for the community and to actually help the students and families that are involved with the church. When the first black student begins getting special treatment from the priest, the nun principal (Streep) becomes suspicious of the relationship between the two. She will then stop at nothing to uncover the truth. The only problem is that there is no evidence that the priest has done anything wrong. In spite of the lack of evidence, the principal is dead set on taking the priest down.

doubt-2

The somewhat slow flow of the film allows the characters to develop seamlessly while the story unfolds. Although the basic story of the film as well as the topic seem commonplace, the film is quite powerful and emotional. A lot of this power and emotion comes from the great actors and actresses, but the directing obviously drives this home. Shanely takes the play and makes it into a masterpiece of a film. The camera work is key to making it feel more a like the film it is rather than the play that it is based off of. Often the camera is set on a diagonal so that it makes even subtle scenes seem much more interesting.

doubt-3

Philip Seymour Hoffman and Meryl Streep are still great. Hoffman keeps getting better with each film that he does and this role was great one for him. I do not usually like Streep and this film did not change that since she is still the character that is impossible to like. It is like taking her performance in The Devil Wears Prada and adapting it to a nun; weird when you think about it, but it works perfectly. Amy Adams played a great innocent nun and school teacher to round out the cast.

doubt-5

The film as a whole was excellent; taking a different approach to an otherwise worn out topic. I loved how it focused on stereotypes and how they can drive people to think things about others that they would otherwise have no reason to think. It allows the viewer to take a step back and think about whether they would really base all of their assumptions on purely stereotypes that the society has created rather than logical reasoning. The film creates all of the emotion and drama while being quite clean also; the PG-13 rating is only for thematic material. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good drama with some excellent acting.

Movie Review – Stick it in Detroit (2008)

By
Dave
Published: May 7, 2009Posted in: UncategorizedTags: , , , , ,

stick-it-in-detroit1

Director: Robert Phelps
Writer: Gaetano Aprea, Shaun McLean, Robert Phelps, and Justin Rose
Genre: Comedy

Although Stick it in Detroit is not what I would call a family film, it was hilarious. There were times in the film when I could not keep myself from laughing. If you can accept the offensive material and let yourself go you are sure to have a blast. This independent film by Robert Phelps shows much promise in his future career as a writer/director/actor. If you want to take a look at the preview or even purchase the film head on over to the website www.stickitindetroit.com.

stick-it-in-detroit-4

The story of this film starts off feeling more like an examination of a few different dysfunctional lives, but as it continues it becomes more apparent that the film actually has a purpose. Normally a film would be shot out of the water first thing if it didn’t have a purpose, but in the case of a comedy if it is funny enough then it really doesn’t have to have a good story. Thankfully in the case of Stick it in Detroit there was actually some substance behind the laughter. You begin to feel for the characters even though they are obviously crazy and this allows the viewer to connect with the story and purpose of the film all the while having a great time.  A good mixture of comedy and character development seems to be a difficult thing for most filmmakers to pull off, but there was a great mix in Stick it in Detroit.

stick-it-in-detroit-1

The acting was good even if it was suspect at times, but even the highest budget films often have bad acting in them. Stick it in Detroit took a few good low key actors and was able to produce plenty of classic moments that more than made up for any of the questionable acting. Some of the performances were just priceless from John Lutz of SNL and Brett Gelman. Robert Phelps even proved he had talent on both sides of the camera. There is no doubt that the directing played a huge part in pushing the actors to perform as well as they did.  Strangely the group of friends seemed like they had nothing in common, but somehow the interactions between them made the chemistry quite believable.

stick-it-in-detroit-3

When I first started watching the film I thought that I was going to have a rough time getting through it all because of the language and gross humor. Once it got rolling though I found myself laughing more and more. No doubt this film will not be for everyone just like any comedy, but it does make me think cult classic for sure. There are sure to be a few people out there that absolutely love this film and for good reason. Although I could have done without some of the over the top language and material, I loved the film and will likely come back to it time and time again. It is refreshing to find a filmmaker who is willing to put everything they have on hold to pull through and create a great debut film. I wish the best for Robert Phelps and those involved in the making of Stick it in Detroit and I cannot wait for the next film.

Movie Review – Frost/Nixon (2008)

By
Dave
Published: April 7, 2009Posted in: UncategorizedTags: , , , , , , ,

frost_nixon-4

Director: Ron Howard
Writer: Peter Morgan
Genre: Drama/History

Frost/Nixon not only provides an interesting drama, but a great look at history from a different perspective than it is usually told. For some reason I cannot help but compare the overall feel to The Insider, but this film was actually a little more light than The Insider. This film is compelling and educational at the same time which is not always an easy thing to do. To top off the great structure and quality of the film, the acting takes this film into greatness.

frost_nixon-5

Michael Sheen is a great actor who has shown a lot of range in recent films especially when comparing Frost/Nixon to Music Within. He certainly isn’t afraid to get his feet wet in different genres either with films such as Underworld, Timeline, The Queen, and the upcoming Alice in Wonderland. This shows he can do serious and proper or fantasy and thriller. He has done quite well in all of the films I have seen him in, and Frost/Nixon is no exception. His ability to show the tension that David Frost had while preparing for this interview and yet the calm composure he tried to present to everyone was excellent. Frank Langella took the even more intimidating role of Richard Nixon which ended up quite convincing. Lets not forget the good performances by Sam Rockwell, Matthew Macfadyen, Oliver Platt, and yes Kevin Bacon. They all did well too so this film had a very strong cast.

frost_nixon-3

The directing of the film was as good as you would expect from veteran Ron Howard who has been making films since 1969, but still puts out the blockbusters like Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind, and The Da Vinci Code. The film flows rather quick considering the subject matter and how it is all really building to a single television interview. The scenes are cut together to keep the interest high and the sense of urgency on the forefront. The film is of course shot very well with smooth camera work and beautiful cinematography. These are things that would often be overlooked in a film that is almost more of a documentary, but they truly make the film what it is.

frost_nixon-2

Frost/Nixon was simply a wonderful film that I was glad to get the chance to see in the theaters. If I actually bought movies anymore I would probably buy this one. It has language, but aside from that it is mostly clean. The history being retold is interesting, but the way it is retold is what makes the film so great. The quality is something you cannot deny in this one and which makes it well worth watching more than once.

Movie Review – Taken (2008)

By
Dave
Published: February 25, 2009Posted in: UncategorizedTags: , , ,

taken-1

Director: Pierre Morel
Writer: Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen
Genre: Action/Thriller/Crime/Drama

Taken is non-stop romp through Paris. Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson), a retired spy, will stop at nothing to get his kidnapped daughter back. His daughter went to Paris with a friend and the two were kidnapped for the slave trade. Bryan has 96 hours before statistics show his daughter will never be found again.

taken-5

Although Taken is a lot of fun, the reviews on imdb are giving it more credit that it deserves. The first glaring problem with the film is the complete lack of emotion. There are times that it tries to show the emotion of the mother, but they are brief and inconsistent. Possibly this is mainly due to the very short length of the film, but it still makes the movie less intense and exciting than it could have been. With that said, it is non-stop action which is quite entertaining to watch. I see how it is compared to the Bourne series since the main character does not show much emotion, but kicks butt the whole way through.

taken-2

Bryan Mills is unstoppable and fearless; he has thought every situation out three steps ahead of everyone else. The directing allows the action to flow nicely with a few slower parts, but mostly non stop action. Even with all of the action the story seems to work fairly well. There are a few characters that seem to lack motivation for their actions, but they die quickly anyway so it leaves little room for you to think about their actions before you are thrown into the next room of people that are going to die.

taken-3

The acting was enough to get by, but nothing here really struck me as great acting. Liam Neeson played the part of calm, collected, showing no emotion guy and Famke Janssen played the part of concerned mother that is too out of touch to realize what is good for her daughter and not. The only problem was that Janssen was inconsistent and not very convincing at times. The rest of the characters including the crazy daughter are just small puppets in the film.

taken-4

Overall, I got what I paid for. I wanted to see a movie with a lot of action and thrills and that is what I got. The only complaint I really have is that it could have been a little longer and added a little more intensity with emotion and character depth. This is certainly good for those looking purely for action entertainment and who like movies like the Bourne series (although this is not as good). The PG-13 rating even keeps most of the blood and language off the big screen which can be a plus at times. Although I was thinking just the other day how much better Die Hard 4 would have been if it had had the R rating just like the originals. If you do not have other movies in the same series to compare a movie to then you will not have certain expectations for that movie though.

Movie Review – Fireproof (2008)

By
Dave
Published: February 23, 2009Posted in: UncategorizedTags: , ,

fireproof-1

Director: Alex Kendrick
Writer: Alex Kendrick and Stephen Kendrick
Genre: Drama

Fireproof proves there is hope for these fresh Christian filmmakers, but don’t expect quite the quality you normally receive in the theaters. Kirk Cameron and all church going movie watchers seemed to get this one hyped up enough to really make it do well, but it just isn’t as good as it should be. It is still leaps and bounds above Facing the Giants though and this movie actually had a good message that made sense. I have surely split the crowd now; people who hate what I am saying because they are a casual movie watcher that loved the movie because they are Christian and those the like what I am saying because anyone who loves great films will find a film that doesn’t seem like it was good enough for the big screen. Both crowds need to hear me out though because I find myself quite in the middle. I am a Christian myself and I am not what I would consider a casual moviegoer; I am looking for great, well made films.

fireproof-4

Facing the Giants proved that you could get a movie made with amateur filmmakers and get it to the big screen and make money solely because the film was based on Christian principals. Although I really don’t have any problems with that, I did ind it annoying that there was such a big deal about a movie of such poor quality and in the end with a poor message. I will try to keep the Giants bashing to a minimum, but it was bad and it did not give a good message for those who are not Christians or who are young in their faith. It gave the impression that if you are a Christian then everything will work out perfectly; that is not even close to biblical. Christians face the same problems that everyone else does and the only difference is that their faith in God gets them through the difficult times. This plagued Facing the Giants and I am happy to say it did not plague Fireproof.

Film Fireproof

Fireproof has a different message geared more towards those that are already Christians, but allows non Christians to see what God can do in there lives. Everything that Kirk Cameron’s character did he had to work for. Even though he turned to God, not everything worked out the way he wanted. Instead he was confident that it would work out according to God’s plan which is a solid biblical truth. There are two things that suffered in this film though; acting and directing. The movie flowed well, but there were very questionable and rocky times in the beginning. I thought the whole film was going to be terrible because of the first 20 minutes, but it really started to get better and the great message proved to make up for the rough start. The comic relief mixed carefully throughout made the movie less harsh and also allowed the rough times not to feel as long. It still had an almost constricted feel to it though. There was plenty going on, but it somehow felt like there were limitations on where the scenes could go. The next film Alex Kendrick makes will likely have a bigger budget and be better so hopefully that will finally make it feel like it is ready for the big screen.

fireproof-2

Overall I was impressed with Fireproof, but maybe that is only because I thought Facing the Giants was so bad so I expected very little from Fireproof. Any time you can start to get a decent actor involved in one of your films for the first time it is going to help it a lot. Cameron’s acting in the beginning looked quite bad too though so it also takes a good writer and director to make the actors look good. I am anxious to see the next film these people make because there has been so much improvement between the last two that the next one could actually be really good if they continue the trend. Fireproof is a good clean movie with a great message for married couples and had enough action, comedy, and drama to keep my attention throughout.

Movie Review – Rambo 4 (2008)

By
Dave
Published: February 8, 2009Posted in: UncategorizedTags: ,

rambo_4-1

Director: Sylvester Stallone
Writer: Art Monterastelli and Sylvester Stallone
Genre: Action/Thriller

rambo_4-2

Stallone decided to get the help of another writer on this one, but left the directing to himself. This turns out to be by far the best combination of writers/director to command a Rambo film. Made 20 years after the other three it seems like an odd series to come back to, but Stallone did it right and probably made a lot more people like Rambo. The other films just weren’t able to accomplish giving Rambo personality and depth. This last film actually did a decent job of giving Rambo closure and making his character seem relevant even though his desire for killing really began in Vietnam.

rambo_4-3

We still find Rambo running from his past and trying to stay out of trouble, but this time he is actually quite close to a war raging just down the river from him. When a group of people come in to give food and medicine to help the poor ravaged people of this nation, Rambo strongly recommends that they do not go. Rambo is the only one who can truly take them where they need to go because he actually knows the way and has the guts to do it. It takes a while for the people to convince him, but they finally do. Just as Rambo suspected it turns out to be a bad idea. Fortunately for these unarmed people, Rambo has a desire to save them.

rambo_4-4

A special team is brought in to rescue them all, but Rambo is the only one that can take them there, and this is where the real carnage begins. The special rescue team has all kinds of gear and weapons, but Rambo just brings his trusty bow and arrow and a makeshift knife (I miss the combat knife of the first three, oh well). Rambo 4 ends up having all of the carnage you could really ask for. people get blown up, shot up, and sliced up. Rambo even sticks a few with arrows which brings back his macho man persona. It is obvious he is a bit older and not quite as able to do the hand to hand tough guy stuff in this one so he stays back a little more than usual. This is one of my complaints. Even though we know he is older it would have been nice to bring back a little more of the old Rambo flavor in this one. The culmination of all of this gets to a point where Rambo is harnessing the power of a very powerful machine gun that simply rips people to shreds. The gun is obviously more for armored vehicles and such, but it makes or quite a lot of carnage when used on the enemy forces.

rambo_4-7

rambo_4-5

While bringing us all of the carnage we could ask for, we are at the same time given a glimpse of Rambo’s motivations and ultimately the closure he gets. He has finally fought his last battle and gotten the killing out of his blood. The acting is actually decent in Rambo 4 even though there was not much need for it to be. Stallone talks a little more in this one, but relies on the ugly looks to get his point across. Less is truly more with Stallone. All in all a great last effort for Rambo that turned out to be almost everything I had hoped for in the first three, but never really got. Stallone closed the book well on the Rambo series.

Movie Review – 80 Minutes (2008)

By
Dave
Published: February 1, 2009Posted in: UncategorizedTags: ,

Director: Thomas Jahn80-minutes
Writer: Thomas Jahn
Genre: Thriller/Action

Unfortunately I cannot recommend that Thomas Jahn stick with either writing or directing; both were terribly executed in this film. I watched this a while back and decided that I would do a full review of it once I calmed down. The quality of this film made me furious especially since it really had a lot of potential. Truly, it was simply a mixture of The Game and Crank, but without being even close to as good as even Crank. The reason I make the comparison to The Game is because in the end of this one it turns out to all be a big prank on the main character (oops, did I spoil the movie for you). Anyway, I don’t feel bad about spoiling a movie when I am recommending that you do not see it; trust me, I am saving you on this one.

The only redeeming quality of this film is that it was almost entertaining to watch how bad it was; this however, would require you to be in just the right mood. Unfortunately I wasn’t in the mood for a good bad movie at the time and this movie might have crossed the line a few times to just be considered a bad bad movie. Each gut wrenching line was backed by horrible camera work. The way the camera moves constantly is absolutely obnoxious and the glossy, dreamy tone reminds me of the soaps my mom used to watch.

Yeah, it was really that bad. I wish I had something good to say.
