  • The Men Who Stare at Goats (R, 2009)

    - by DrZeek
    Bob Wilton: So what you're saying is that... you, are a uh... psychic spy?
    Lyn Cassady: A Jedi...[ read more ] warrior.

    A comedy that claims to have more true elements than you would think, about the US military's attempts to train soldiers with psychic powers. The film's lead actors all do a good job and the film is frequently funny, despite having a meandering last act.

    Set during wartime in Iraq, a reporter in the Middle East, Bob Wilton played by Ewan McGregor, might just have the story of a lifetime when he meets Lyn Cassady, played by George Clooney, a guy who claims to be a former member of a U.S. special forces unit that employs paranormal powers in their missions. As the two travel through Iraq on a secret mission that Lyn claims to be on, Wilton learns more and more about Lyn's abilities, as we, the audience, are shown flashbacks to Lyn's training as, what is said to be, a Jedi Warrior. In these flashbacks, it is Col. Bill Django, played by Jeff Bridges (in Dude mode) who establishes his non-lethal unit that is looking to end wars by peaceful means, with the solutions involving the use of psychic abilities to take down enemies. Kevin Spacey also stars as a rival to Lyn, wishing to have the kind of abilities that Lyn appears to have.

    Soldier: Sir, what's the practical application for this?

    The main factor that I enjoyed about this film is seeing Clooney, Bridges, and Spacey all playing absurd type characters and as actors, not being afraid to make fun of themselves and let loose. This is all handled without playing things too knowingly or over-the-top, Its handled as if they actually believe in the things that they are doing, not played for laughs, but still being very humorous. McGregor (who I'll always prefer with his natural accent and not this American one) also does a good job at playing the straight man, but gets to have some fun with the physical humor as well.

    Based on a book of the same title and directed by Clooney's producing partner Grant Heslov, the look and tone of the film certainly seems to be well handled. I say "seems," because although there would seem to be satirical elements at play here, I don't think the film did much to spur those kind of thoughts and considerations while watching. Still, the film is made well enough in its flow and placement of flashbacks.

    There are some problems in the final act, as the film's objective isn't entirely clear, with the main plot serving as a road movie with not much of an idea what's at the end of the road. Still, the film manages to be entertaining throughout.

    Enjoyable.

    Bob Wilton: What are you doing?
    Lyn Cassady: [while driving the car] Cloud bursting, it keeps me sharp.
    Lyn Cassady: [clouds over head disappears] and it's gone.

  • Law Abiding Citizen (R, 2009)

    - by allan913
    An unforgettably powerful and adreniline-fuelled edge of your seat thriller. A bone-chilling revenge...[ read more ] classic. An unbeliveably exhilerating, mind-blowing and shocking film that shakes you to the core like you wouldnt belive. It packs plenty of twist, turns and explosive excitement around every corner all the way to it's amasing conclusion. A fearless and very intelligent cat and mouse thriller thats solidly character driven, taunt, riveting and loaded with pulse-pounding suspense and explosive action. It takes the revenge film to new heights and shows us something new, dark and tremendously exhilerating movie that you wont forget. A smart, compelling, nail-biting and heart-pounding thrill-machine. Director, F. Gary Grey crafts a superb and thrilling masterwork that takes his _b_style to new places. Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler have never been better. Foxx is excellent in every scene he's in. Butler is incrediable, he gives a memorable, tortured, brilliant and electrifying performance. Butler and Foxx are a tour de force. Top-notch acting, clever writing and well-constructed by its filmmaker. An amasing, shattering, razor-sharp and breathtaking film thats an assualt on the senses. It's nerve-frying, grippingly tense and flat-out brilliant.

    Spoiler warning!!

    This film was abit misleading I discovered at the end, I thought everyo...[ read more ]ne was gonna leave the earth in a spacecraft for deep space, it turns out it was just an ark to sail on the ocean, strange seeing how you are lead to believe the earth is gonna virtually implode. It then turns out it will be all OK in the end and return to normal!! haha kinda silly as I'm sure the earth wouldn't recover from the kind of destruction that occurs in the film, I could be wrong.

    Despite this I actually liked this film alot, yep that's right, I'm going against the crowd with this one.

    The film is actually very tense and really harrowing in many places, I really got behind the cast as they battle to stay alive and run from impending doom in the form of huge erupting canyons and massive tidal waves. There are tonnes of quite scary and depressing images and scenes of mass human death as the world falls apart, I have to admit it does make you think and sweat haha its very realistic, very impressive looking and you have to be very very strong (or emotionless) not to become upset and maybe even feel a lump in your throat as millions perish. When various characters start to ring their parents and say goodbye as the end nears you just can't help but feel your eyes well up alittle, you just can't help it, its human nature, and this is the grip the film (and others of the same genre) has on you, its easy.

    The cast is very basic here to be honest, Cusack is reasonable, Platt is actually OK and Glover is a good President but the rest are the typical cliched disaster movie breed. The whole movie is one long repeated cliche really, its been done so many times before now with almost every kind of natural event possible, the only difference is the effects get better each time which makes for a more terrifying experience.

    I guess the thing that hits home here is the fact that this could happen and probably will happen at some point in our human history, its a scary notion. This is why these films do well, morbid curiosity, people don't really wanna know what would happen but you have to watch and see and I'm sure what the film depicts is probably quite accurate :(

  • The Fourth Kind (PG-13, 2009)

    - by cenzano38
    The Fourth Kind was a really bad movie. I knew it was a fictional "true events" or "fact based" movi...[ read more ]e that is based off of fabricated events with these people really pushing to make us believe it's real. Either way it is one messy movie.

    It doesn't even begin to compare to Blair Witch or Paranormal Activity. Those two movies promoted themselves with realistic camera shooting, and unknown actors, but they weren't true. Most people knew it, and some still had to ask whether or not it's based on a true story. This film has seemingly tried to build up excitement about itself by really trying to be based off of true events.

    One thing they try is to inject "real" footage into the movie, and it would be cool, but they sometimes go as far as putting them on a splitscreen between "reenactment" and "real footage," sometimes they go back and forth between the two. It's disastrous for the movie and quite irritating. The story is lame and boring. What is supposed to be the grabber is bad to the point that it is what made me lose interest from the get-go. I hoped it would get even a little better, but no such luck. I don't even get how this made it to theaters. It's ridiculous all the way through.

    The actors are all pretty good, but there is nothing to do in this movie but collect a paycheck. Milla Jovovich was always a substandard to OK actress, who's progressively gotten better through the years. She did a not so popular movie earlier this year called The Perfect Getaway that was pretty good, and she did a good job. Unfortunately she keeps getting roles like this even though she's improved. Elias Koteas, Will Patton and Corey Johnson are all actors that are familiar when you see them, and always turn in a good performance. But again, it's in this movie. The director, Olatunde Osunsanmi has done one other movie, Smokin' Aces, which is another jumbled up, lame movie. The Fourth Kind is actually so bad that it makes Smokin' Aces seem like a classic. He needs to get better or stop altogether.

    This piece of junk isn't even good enough on a movie channel. I give some movies credit for uniqueness, or effort at least, but this one.....

  • The Fourth Kind (PG-13, 2009)

    - by flickfever
    If The Fourth Kind supposed to make you believe in aliens or, at least, make you re-evaluate your b...[ read more ]eliefs, let me tell you: it probably won't. Even though it's being marketed as "based on the actual case studies," the movie ends up feeling more phony than anything concocted in fiction could have ever felt.

    When a group of Nome, Alaska residents begin to encounter strange dreams and eerie night-time episodes of sleeplessness and feeling a presence in the room a Dr. Abigail Tyler (psychologist) begins to sniff around. She thinks, of course, that these strange occurrences have something to do with her own husbands mysterious death some time before. He had been investigating similar, paranormal events in the small frigid community before his demise.

    When things begin getting tragic in Nome, Tyler is forced to reconsider what may be happening to the residents. She must hastily acknowledge that the only explanation is that someone or something is controlling the events. When she decided to videotape some of the patient sessions, that when things start to get really bad.

    And I mean that in more ways than one. Not only to the events in the plot become more strange and mysterious--but that's when the movie itself begins to dwindle. The gimmick of this film is that the "real-life" evidence recorded by the "real" Dr. Tyler is interpolated throughout the film with the dramatized version of those events. Often, you get split screens with both the real footage and the phony footage. The phony footage being (in my opinion) the real-life videotapes.

    It all seems beyond the realm of belief, even for a film that is science fiction. But if anything is supposed to be grounded in fact, it's that this movie would have been better being either all "real-life" or all dramatized. The whole splitting your attention for credibility's sake makes it all too distracting and not engaging enough. It's too much of a ploy to manipulate your discretion and ability to discern fact from fiction.

    In the end, all you really end up witnessing is a bunch of static on a videotape. It really proves nothing more than you already may or may not have believed. If anything it cements the skeptics' opinion even more and clouds the murky faith of the believers even more. It really proves nothing or has anything new to say in terms of alien science fiction film.

    If the fourth kind of alien contact is abduction, then the fifth kind must be boredom.

    - by hobster1
    Gorgeous adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic is a 3D feast for the eyes. This slavishly fait...[ read more ]hful interpretation, is highlighted by effects so extraordinary, there are moments where it literally looks as if snow is falling in the theater. As recounted here, the story really takes its time and exhibits a dark moodiness, especially in the early scenes. In other parts, there are nightmarish images that are rather jolting for a PG rated film. Consequently, the film will please adults much more than it will entertain young children. However, for those that are patient, this atmospheric version of the classic tale is an enjoyable holiday treat.

  • Disney's A Christmas Carol (PG, 2009)

    - by lizzardb72688
    Let me just clarify straight away THIS IS NOT A KIDS MOVIE! I'm sorry if people disagree but I don'...[ read more ]t really find this film appropriate or necessary for small children unless they're very brave and don't mind seeing a dead man's jaw fall off or creepy children morphing into demonic criminals... but honestly I liked it. Jim Carrey was very impressive in his ability to really portray Dicken's vision which I didn't expect from Ace Ventura. But I honestly think a child will not quite be able to grasp the dialogue which is verbatim from the plays and book, and the spirits, due to their realism thanks to this form of animation, are extremely frightening to the point of nightmares and a lot of questions. If you are a fan of the plays and the book, by all means see this movie, and if you are fan of Jim Carrey it's at least worth renting it. (3-D was a worthwhile reason to go as well.)
