Movie Reviews
Prom Night - BD
Venerable film critic Roger Ebert has for years been compiling blatant movie clichés for his amusing Little Movie Glossary collection – available in print and on his website. As is to be expected, many of these come from horror movies, which have a tendency to open themselves up to parody even when they're not trying. After watching the latest pointless remake of Prom Night, I can imagine an entire column, no make that a small booklet dedicated to all the stupid, mindless, and...
What Happens in Vegas: Special Edition - BD
The romantic comedy is becoming about as prolific and, hence, as predictable and pedestrian as any film genre these days. That means the quality of the material can vary greatly depending on the star- power involved. With that in mind, a movie like What Happens in Vegas aspires to nothing more than competent mediocrity. It's certainly not as saccharine or silly as Fool's Gold… but it also doesn't deliver on the level of something like Definitely, Maybe. Thanks to the...
Wargames: The Dead Code
It's 1983, two years after IBM introduced the personal computer that initiated the digital revolution that put you in front of the screen on which you're reading this review. Armed with a 300 BAUD acoustic coupler and crude equipment, Matthew Broderick's David Lightman nearly starts a global nuclear war by hacking into a Defense Department supercomputer W.O.P.R. that has autonomous access to our strategic missiles. He and Ally Sheedy's Jennifer Mack must track down the...
Batman Gotham Knight - BD
The animated Batman was an extremely successful television series, first broadcast on the Fox Network and then moved to the WB, since it was a Warner property. If I remember correctly, the key frame animation was executed in the States and then sent to Korea for completion. The style and feel remained distinctly American; not so Batman Gotham Knight. This PG-13 rated Batman is conveyed in anime style, with significant Asian influences. I was tipped off immediately by the first of six loosely...
Miami Vice - BD
Despite its obvious and sometimes distracting flaws, Michael Mann's Miami Vice was a standout mainstream adult entertainment of 2006's summer season. As Miami/Dade detectives James “Sonny” Crockett (Colin Farrell) and Ricardo “Rico” Tubbs (Jamie Foxx) saunter through the streets of Florida's greatest city, and Central and South America, their adventures are knee-deep in busty babes, shiploads of contraband drugs, and the kind of intense gunplay that Mann...
U-571 - BD
U-571 is as straightforward a piece of patriotism as they come. A World War II German submarine is disabled and an American sub is dispatched to masquerade as a German rescue sub. The mission is to steal the highly coveted Enigma code machine that makes German communications unbreakable. But before they can accomplish their mission, the American's sub is sunk, stranding our sailors onboard the German U-boat. They must carefully navigate to safety, evading both their own fleet to avoid being sunk...
End Of Days - BD
Arnold Schwarzenegger has battled everything from aliens on safari to the caped crusader. It seems only right that he's finally pitted against Satan himself. The End Of Days played off of the millennium hysteria; the devil is back and he's got big plans for the world. It may spell the end of mankind.A girl born in 1979 has been chosen to bear the child of the dark angel. The only catch is that the conception must take place in the final hour of the millennium. An hour before or after and I...
The Fall Of The Roman Empire
The Fall of the Roman Empire emerged at the of an era for Hollywood's larger than life historical action dramas. Having tasted a series of successful epic films such as Ben-Hur, The Ten Commandments, Cleopatra, El Cid, and many others, audiences were growing familiar with big-budget historical action dramas and were growing less and less compelled to frequent the theater for ancient Roman visuals without an engaging story to support the scenery. When Charlton Heston turned down the leading...
