This wasnt at all what i was expecting. I think that Dane Cook is brilliant at what he does. The question is, why didnt he do that on his first movie? Dont get me wrong the movie is comical, but not funny. It baffled me why they played him as the straight guy. Im sure he has a lot better work coming. Wait for DVD, cross fingers for unrated version....
The Gaurdian
The only thing i can say about this heap is GAURD YOUR MONEY
Man of the Year
Barry Levinson needs to make up his mind what kind of movie he wants to make. This movie takes so many diffrent directions that i felt like i was on a road trip with a dislexic navigator. Pick a direction and stick with it Barry! Premise was good, execution was very bad.
The Grudge 2
I never really have seen the appeal of the whole GRUDGE movie madness. The first one didnt scare me and this one was not much better. There was an awesome scene of someone puking milk back into a container but other than that it was a train wreck. If you really loved the GRUDGE you will probably like this one too. I found it confusing and lil asian kids with giant mouths dont really scare me(insert lame cat noise here)
Saw 3
This movie was over all pretty good. Im a fan of the contraptions and the tension that this series seems to build. Its not very hokey like the second one which was good in its on way. This time Jigsaw and the crew return to the creepy goodness of the first film. It follows the story line perfectly and i love how the characters seem to wander into the other films victims and assorted scenes. With another one planned for Halloween of next year these movies are becoming more of a Halloween tradition, and less like just another typical horror sequal.
The Departed
This is an awesome movie! Nicholson has been turning in lovable old guy roles for the last 6 years or so. In this one Jack is back and better than ever. Its violent, gritty, and all Marty S. If you love Scorsessi you will love this movie. Its one of the best executed crime thrillers that i have ever seen. This movie goes with the old saying "If you have to shoot someone, shoot them in the head." EXCELLENT!
Borat
Funny, i have no idea how this guy gets away with what he says just by wearing an oversized mustache. You will hide your eyes in delight as he embarasses one unwilling victim after another. Sadly i think he will be a one trick pony with these types of films. As the immortal Tom Green figured out, you cant prank your way to fame and fortune. The pranks are over when before u have a chance to pull them, they are asking for your autograph. I believe Mr. Cohen has acting chops though, and he will continue to make us chuckle in more traditional comedy roles in the future.
The Return
AHH Sarah Michelle, the Jamie Lee Curtis of our time. She loves the horror industry doesnt she? Sadly this movie is not horrifying, but horrible. Its taking a page out of the new school of movie writing which is confusion equals terror. This movie felt as if it started in the middle. It spent no time letting the audience get to know and sympathize with the main character. Geller delivers on her big eyed expressions of terror ten fold. Unfortunatly for the audience there is nothing to be frightined of...
