Kite Runner

I actually saw this movie with 4 people. Very rare for me. I probably would've eventually seen this movie, but not in the theatre.

My concern about this movie was that it seemed, from the previews, to be propaganda to make us feel good about what we have done and are doing in Afghanistan. Of course, I went in with that prejudice and feel that in many ways it is kind of true.

In a nutshell the movie spends much time telling us that the Taliban is/were child molesters and child rapists. Not only child rapists, but male/male rapists. This all maybe true, but it is interesting that a movie would be made saying this about a group that harbored a group of men that took down the World Trade Center. I am certainly not complaining here. I have no sympathy for the Taliban, or anyone that harbors people that attack the United States.

The other part of this context is an article I recently read about warlords in Afghanistan that seem to focus on young boys, especially dancing boys, as objects of their sexual affection. It seems these warlords hold contests, kind of beauty contests for their boys. So, it would seem that this is part of this Afghani culture.

Kind of an uncomfortable movie to watch. Especially the rape scene and the main character's yellow bellied reaction to it, by not attempting to help his friend and then turning against his friend, who ended up being his brother.

It was an interesting movie in that it shed some light on Afghani culture and their struggles against the Soviets.

I am Legend

I enjoyed Will Smith's version of I am Legend. It certainly deviated mightily from the book and the other cinematic versions of the book, but it was still good.

They decided to go spiritual with the story with some type of a happy ending. The book ends with the main character being executed by the new breed of humans that exist and do their thing only at night.

This movie ended with Will Smith's character solving the problem with science and for some reason he sacrifices himself prior to passing on the cure.

I enjoyed the use of Bob Marley music as the soundtrack to this movie. I have been on this Bob Marley kick lately myself.

Hitman

I have played pretty much all of the Hitman games in the series and enjoyed them. I was looking forward to this movie until I learned that Agent 47 was going to have a love interest. I mean the guy is a ruthless killer, how is hollywood going to make that make sense without changing the character drastically.

They did a pretty good job with it. One of the lines, I will paraphrase here, was really nice, something like, be quiet or I will put you back in the trunk. And of course there is a dead body in the trunk that he took her out of. So, it was real to the character, a ruthless cold blooded killer.

There were some pretty good visuals that pointed back to the game. I wish they would've done more of that kind of thing. But all in all, for a relatively obscure video game character like Agent 47 to be made into a film, it was good.

It is impossible for me to think of this movie in an unbiased way. I have no idea how someone would view this movie if they had not spent hours with the character during a video game.

Martian Child

I really like John Cusack and his sister. The kid that played the main character did a good job. It was a pretty sad human story of a messed up kid and the way he was dealing with his messed up life.

It made me think of the ways that I deal with my problems or don't deal with them. How confused am I by my life? What stories am I telling over and over again, until I believe them?

Peaceful Warrior

I just tried to watch this dvd. I could not make it through. Hollywood made the book into some romantic movie, with huge emphasis on the romance. It is a book about changing yourself. Not about love. Lame. It is funny because I saw a post on a movie site today and this woman said she wanted to walk out of the movie it was so bad. I thought to myself, "I would never walk out on a movie. I would always sit and watch the whole thing." But now I see what she means. Sometimes movies are just all fucked up to your own taste, so you just have to move on.

Bella

I actually saw this movie with two other people, which is pretty rare for me. I usually go to movies alone. Also, I did not pick this movie. Do not know if I would've ever saw it, if two beautiful women I know had not wanted to go to see it.

But with that said, I enjoyed the movie. It was kind of a morality play movie with an anti-abortion message, but other than that, it was good drama.

A soccer player signs a professional contract, but on the way to a press conference he runs over and kills a litttle girl. This drastically changes his life. He goes to prison, gives up soccer, and becomes a chef in his brother's restaurant.

That's where we find our main character, as a waitress gets fired for being late, because she has morning sickness. She wants to get an abortion, but chef/soccer boy wants her to keep the kid because he somehow wants to make up for the life that he accidentally took. He adopts the little girl and raises her. I enjoyed this movie.

I am Legend

Just finished reading this book. 170 pages, but it is filled up with some short stories to a whopping 280 or so. Good stuff. I know I will see the Will Smith movie soon, so just wanted to put my thoughts down about the book first.

I liked all the drinking that goes on in this book. Lots of great lines in it. I want to compile all the lines about drinking. I liked the whole vampire theory in this, vampirism caused by a bacteria with two modes of transmission spores or the old fashioned bite, vampires fear of crosses explained by psychology, and various other well thought out explanations for vampirism.

I have seen Charleton Heston's version of this movie, and of course it did not end like the book. I bet Will Smith's version will play out differently. The book ends with Robert Neville being caught by the new society of living vampires and condemned to death by public execution. It ends with him standing at a window looking out at a crowd of vampires awaiting Neville's execution. Neville realizes that he is now the legend to them. A mysterious death bringer during the day. "I am legend" are the final words. Liked the book, read most of it on Halloween evening so I was a little scared by the book, boo!

I want to read more Matheson.

Hot Fuzz

Just saw this dvd. Liked it. Pretty funny. Same guy that starred in Shaun of the Dead. Also that guy from the BBC The Office was in it for a short bit. Good stuff. A spoof of police movies. Point Break and Bad Boys 2 seemed to play a prominent roll. I don't remember these actors names. They're British for fuck sake. There is an outtake/gag reel as an extra on this dvd, awesome, love gag reels. There is a fuzz fact option, you can watch the movie with interesting facts popping up during the movie. Deleted scenes, of course. This movie made me want to buy a Japanese Peace Lily. Not many movies make you want to buy a plant.

Talk to Me

I just saw this dvd. Don Cheadle does a great job. Chiwetel Ejiofor is awesome too. Very interesting story. Howard Stern mentioned Petey Green a few times on his show. I was interesting to learn about this Petey Green fellow. I had no idea that he was a convict that went on to be a famous disc jockey. I think it is great that a man can pull himself up by his bootstraps and turn his life around. Part of me does not like the idea of appealing to the lowest common denominator, especially in a community that seems to have lots of trouble, but I guess it is based on a true story. I liked the movie though. Dewey Hughes was an interesting character too. Raised in the projects, yet completely adapting and being successful in the white man's world is very impressive. Especially with his brother in prison, man a story of just his life would be cooler and more interesting I think. Learning all he could from the Tonight Show and Johnny Carson.

No gag reel, get serious. Like they did not fuck up during the filming. Gag reels should be mandatory on all dvds, bastards!

The Darjeeling Limited

What a great movie. Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, and Adrien Brody do a great job. There was this incredibly beautiful Indian woman in the movie too. Great story, held together well.

The story of 3 brothers and their relationship post-father's death. They all seem pretty dysfunctional, rich, and drug addicts. They all abuse drugs together.

Great lines in the movie too. Natalie Portman plays Jason Schwartzman's girlfriend, she says to him, "I am going to feel like shit tomorrow if we fuck." Jason's character responds, "I'm ok with that." Just beautiful, I don't give a fuck how you feel or will feel, lets fuck. Funny, but typical male attitude.

I would say greatest Wes Anderson movie since Rushmore. It was great to see all the same people show up in it that are usually in Wes Anderson's movies. And the way he used a train to tell the story and as the set. Similar to what he did with the ship in The Life Aquatic. Just awesome.

Lars and the Real Girl

What a strange movie. I think I know what they were trying to do. They kind of hit us over the head with it during an argument between Ryan Gosling's character, Lars, and Lars brother's wife, show that everyone loved this fellow, Lars, so much in this small town, that they would actually go along with his delusion that a life sized "love doll" was a real live girlfriend for Lars.

The problem I had was that they did not develop Lars character enough, so that you knew that he was a fantastic guy that a whole community would help out in such a way. It was still a funny movie though, its just that the emotional pay off, for me, fell flat. I think if they would have spent more time with Lars helping these people that later on help him instead of spending so much time showing him as being socially awkward with his sister-in-law and work place love interest. They could've accomplished both at the same time, he could be socially awkward and saintlike with these people that helped him. Oh well.

There is an interesting portion of the movie spent with a doctor/psychologist where they work on Lars problem of not being touched. I guess Lars was raised without a mother and by a father that was heartbroken and sad, so perhaps did not touch Lars at all. Lars seems to feel pain when touched by other people. Also there seems to be some idea going on that Lars is afraid that his brother's wife will die during childbirth like Lars' mother did.

There was this whole other part of this movie that felt really strange to me. That there was some woman pining away to be with this socially awkward delusional fellow the whole time. She patiently waits in the wings while Lars goes through this strange delusion. Then (spoiler alert) at the end she ends up holding hands with Lars at his dummy's funeral. To me, it seemed to be a rather idealistic portrayal of some strange feminine romantic notion that in my experience does not exist at all. It has been my experience that women want a man that takes care of everything for them. They do not wait patiently for a man to sort out his life and go as far as lending a hand in sorting out his life seems to me to be ludicrous. But that is just my experience.

The Glamorous Life of Sachiko Hanai

I saw this dvd last night. Very interesting soft core porn movie from Japan. Lots of decent simulated sex scenes. The plot was pretty trippy. Sachiko Hanai is a call girl that ends up surviving a gunshot in the forehead and in possession of a cloned George Bush finger that could destroy the world because it can be used to remotely fire ICBMs. She ends up with super powers of intelligence. But her feelings become delayed. She cannot feel anything while she is experiencing it, only later on does she feel it.

I think it speaks volumes for our president and what the world thinks of him. When you become a main part of a plot to a softcore porn movie, the world is definitely thinking some strange shit about you.

This is the second Japanese softcore movie I have seen, and both of them, Gates of Flesh, seem to have bad views of the USA.

30 Days of Night

Saw this movie yesterday during the wildfires. Weird movie to watch during the fires here in San Diego. 30 Days of Night, when I went into the theater there were ashes raining down, not thickly, but then the movie was about 30 days of night in this Alaskan town named Barrow, with blizzards, ash looks like snow.

I liked the movie. Lots of gore, and the vampires all looked scary, they even spoke their own language. I liked the lead vampire, he seemed to be the only one that spoke. Interesting lines: "When man finds a force he cannot oppose, Man destroys himself." There were some other cool lines too.

Tough questions though, the cop character shots himself up with vampire blood, then goes out and fights the lead vampire. Pretty good fighting scene, but who would do that? Then he decides to watch the dawn with his loved one. What a friggin' sap. He could've lived forever as some strange vampire. The cold would not effect him anymore. Whatever. I liked the movie. But I wish they would have focused more on the vampires. They were the cool part of the movie, their culture, how do they survive, etc. Who cares about a bunch of people that live in some small town in Alaska, except that they were attacked by vampires. The vampires are the point of interest. Oh, well.

Mr. Bean's Holiday

I wanted to take my nephews to a movie while visiting them in San Jose. There was a real lack of kid's movies in the theaters. We could have gone to the re-release of the Nightmare before X-mas in 3D, but they were not having it. For some reason they both wanted to see the Bean movie. I had gone to one of these Bean movies previously and did not really enjoy it much, so I was not looking forward to this one.

It certainly wasn't a great movie, but we were the only ones in the theater showing this movie, so that was a plus. My nephews and I could talk, and we had some fun during the movie. Quin mentioned that it was a movie within a movie. Mr. Bean wins a trip to Cannes in a raffle, but he also wins a Sony video camera. Talk about product placement, Bean uses this camera throughout the entire movie. It was a pretty cool idea though and they did a good job implementing the whole thing in the end.

Surprisingly there were some good actors in this movie: Wilem Dafoe, and some other guy, I don't remember his name right now, but I like him. It ended on a sort of surreal musical extravaganza. I am kind of interested in this movies' soundtrack now. There were some interesting songs in it. Overall this movie was an enjoyable experience for my nephews and I. Good times.

The Heartbreak Kid

I saw Ben Stiller's Heartbreak Kid today. It was pretty funny. A romantic comedy though which is always kind of disgusting. One good thing about it to me was the ending. I liked the fact that Stiller's character found himself in the same situation. Often these romantic comedies end happily ever after, everyone is in love, married, etc. I also liked that Stiller worked with his dad Jerry Stiller. Jerry's father was pretty funny. "How many pussies have you crushed lately?" Pretty good question for a father to ask his son. There were some pretty good lines in this movie. During the movie I had this kind of annoying realization that Ben Stiller reminded me of my ex's new beau. That kind of made me sick because I like Ben Stiller. Oh well. This too will pass.

There was a trailer for Depp's Sweeney Todd movie. Cannot wait for that friggin' thing. Looks like he's going to sing.

Feast of Love

I saw this movie tonight. Good lord, what a tear jerker. I liked Greg Kinear and Morgan Freeman's characters. But what a sad movie. I teared up several times. There were only about 4 of us in the theater so it wasn't too embarrassing.

Lots of good ideas in this movie. Kinear's character would close his eyes and jump into a relationship, Freeman's character was blind to his son's addiction, and Alexa Davalos's character went to a fortune teller to see the future of her relationship.

There was lots of nudity and sex in this movie which is always a good thing as far as I am concerned.

With the stuff that I have gone through in my life in relationships and what my brother is going through, it made this movie very poignant to me, very sad, and maybe just a little too real.

I liked Kinear's search for a woman that believed that love is all, not just a way to force us to have babies. And also the idea that his character needed to find a woman that would love him.

Good movie.

Gates of Flesh

I watched this dvd from Netflix tonight. It was pretty much soft core porn. The story of post-WWII Tokyo and a group of prostitutes and how they survive. The movie was made in 1964. It was full of anti-American sentiment. The last scene kind of says a whole bunch (the whole movie I guess too), they show a rising sun Japanese flag in the water, thrown away, then they pan up to the American flag waving over Tokyo.

I watched the interview of the director and the set designer after watching the movie. The director actually admitted that the project was made to show women torturing women and nudity. The set was definitely inspired by play sets. There was definitely some torture and nudity in this movie, but there was so much more going on too. I enjoyed the movie. Of course it was in Japanese, so you have to read the subtitles.

Eastern Promises

I went to Eastern Promises last night while waiting for Halo 3 to be released. It was a very interesting, bloody movie. It moved kind of slow, developing the story. It was set in London. I just figured it would be set in New York, so that was an interesting twist. Viggo Mortensen was pretty good in it as a Russian mobster. His character is more than just a Russian mobster though. Vincent Cassel had an interesting role too. Naomi Watts of course was hot in this movie. Viggo's accent was pretty good, and they spoke plenty of Russian.

There was this one scene where Viggo's character is attacked in a bath house. It is pretty bloody, and Viggo fights in the nude. It reminded me of that bath house fight in a James Bond movie, where none of the towels fell off. Another cool part of this movie is the whole tatoo angle. They do a little explanation of all the Russian gangster tatoos. The ending was kind of abrupt, but I think just because I wanted to see Viggo's character take over the mob. They implied that he did, but it would have been neat to see how his character played out. I liked this movie though, mainly because of the great actors in it and the interesting story.

The Brave One

I went to this movie today. Jodie Foster did a great job in this movie. It was not the typical revenge movie. They dealt with the victim's fear and her work at getting her life back and she mostly used a gun. I hate it when a revenge character suddenly becomes an MMA fighter over night, like in Death Sentence. She did kill one guy with a tire iron and that felt kind of weird. It would have been better if she would have shot him. There was a little bit of racism. One of the cops mentioned that the ipod was stolen because it had music on it that a young youth of color would not have. Terrence Howard played a pretty good detective. His partner was kind of strange with a tattoo on his neck. The ending was pretty cool with her returning to the scene of the crime with her dog. Over all this is a great movie. I wonder if Death Sentence was so bad because they rushed it out to beat The Brave One's release.

Pan's Labyrinth

I rented this movie from Netflix the other day. This is a great movie. I definitely recommend it. Even if you have to read the subtitles it is just a great movie. Surreal movie making at its best.

Disturbia

I rented this movie the other day from Netflix. To compare this movie to Hitchcock's Rear Window is pretty much blasphemy in my book. With that said, I will not compare the two. Without comparison, Disturbia is a decent kids serial killer movie. The serial killer character was sufficiently creepy and the adults dull enough so the kids can figure everything out with their tech savvy. The ending was totally sappy like a teen movie ending should be. I rent too many movies.

I Think I Love My Wife

I rented this movie the other day from Netflix. I enjoyed this movie. It should be a must watch for women and wives in particular. It gives a definite male perspective on the whole relationship game and some of the distractions and temptations a man deals with in this world. The ending was kind of hokie, but still good.

I Like Killing Flies

I rented this movie the other day from Netflix. This documenary is about a gourmet chef and his little hole in the wall restaurant in New York. I can see why they would make a documentary about such a guy. He is pretty amazing and so is his family. I enjoyed this documentary and I learned about the restaurant business and people in New York. Good stuff.

The Good Shepherd

I rented this movie the other day from Netflix. I liked this movie. Bunch of good people in it: Robert Dinero, Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie. It kind of gave a white washed history of the CIA. Matt Damon did a great job. Interesting stuff all the way through and some good twists. I thought it was kind of shocking that Clover, Jolie's character, just jumped on Damon's character, but I guess they had to insert some kind of sick romantic component, even into a movie about the CIA. I recommend this movie.

The Darwin Awards

I rented this movie the other day from Netflix. Good lord, how did Winona Ryder get roped into this piece of crap. It was like a Monk episode gone wrong and too long. I kept wanting to crawl into the screen and grab Winona and shake her, "what are you doing with your career? please stop taking the advice of whoever told you do do this movie." There were a few snippets of goodness, but overall this movie made me feel like I go to and rent too many movies.

The Great Happiness Space

I rented this dvd from Netflix the other day. I heard a comedian do a joke where one of the lines was, "I just saw the movie Heat and I want to talk about it." That is the problem with renting movies. All the hype is dead and gone and no one wants to talk about it. Well guess what, now that I have this blog, I am going to talk about the movies I rent. The Happiness Space was a totally cool documentary. It is about this phenomenon in Japan of these clubs that cater to women like geishas cater to men. Half way through you find out something about the patrons of these clubs that is shocking and interesting. A very interesting commentary on Japanese culture and the human condition. I definitely recommend this documentary if you are interested in either.

3:10 to Yuma

I went to 3:10 to Yuma yesterday. I liked the way this movie flowed. The film editor wasted little in moving the story along. There were interesting characters and very interesting lines. The Wade character played by Russell Crowe had some pretty cool lines. The best I thought went something like, "Green eyes don't matter that much." This movie was definitely about fathers and their relationships with their sons. The Wade character did not have a father and was wild and did not have a moral compass. Christian Bales character, a one legged farmer, had two sons, but the story mostly focuses on the oldest son's relationship with his father. The youngest son has TB. Christian Bales character is interesting because information is revealed about him as the movie goes along. You since there is something going on with him, but are frustrated at first, by the end of the movie, you have a much better understanding of this character's motivation, so he is definitely a dynamic character. But so is the Wade character played by Crowe, by the end he seems to change too, while staying the same.

A few things I did not like about the movie was that the kid with TB slept with his brother. TB is contagious, so I would not think they would sleep together. Also, they said that the kid caught TB when he was 2 years old. How did he do that? When he was so young, he should have been only around family, not around a bunch of TB sufferers. Also, the ending was kind of shocking. None of this really mattered because I still really enjoyed the movie.

Death Sentence

I went to this movie the other day. I like Kevin Bacon. He does make some good choices on his roles. This was not one of them. This movie was just bad. It is a revenge movie, Bacon's family is slowly taken away from him, so he takes law into his own hands and goes after the bad guys. It seemed pretty unreal that this white collar worker was suddenly able to fight and run like a guy that has nothing to do all day but work on his body. A little character development would have been helpful, perhaps showing a military background and training at an MMA gym or something, but instead we see this guy sitting at his desk, then suddenly fighting tons of people. I think the best way they could have done it is by using the hockey angle. Have a conversation with his son about fighting during a hockey game or something like that. Oh well, I go to too many movies.

Saturday, September 1, 2007

King of Kong

I went to King of Kong the other day. I liked this documentary. It was about these guys that play vintage arcade games on actual arcade machines like Donkey Kong, Gallaga, and a few other games that I never heard of or played. The crux of the documentary is high scores on these games and a group that validates these high scores. Some poor unemployed guy tries to break the Donkey Kong score and it seems the group that validates scores undermines his attempts. I enjoyed the movie. It reminded me of the documentary called American Movie.

Sunday, August 26, 2007

Bourne Ultimatum

I went to this movie the other day. I liked this movie. It was kind of exhausting to watch because of all the non-stop action. And of course there were tons of situations that were completely implausible, but I was still able to enjoy the movie. It was kind of cool to see the whole Bourne thing wrapped up. I have never read any of the Ludlum novels these movies were based on, but I might pick one up to check it out. So if you have seen the previous two, you may as well see this one, that was my thinking. And if you liked the other two, you will probably like this one as well.

Harry Potter and the rest of the title I do not remember right now

I saw this movie the other day. I have seen all the Harry Potter movies so far, so what the heck, why not this one. It was pretty good. Fun magic stuff with all the special effects. I liked Serious Black's character. It was an engrossing time, very entertaining. I will keep going to these movies if they keep making them.

Thursday, August 23, 2007

Superbad

I went to this movie the other day. Not to be too goofy, but this movie was super good. I liked it. Lots of funny lines and situations. I laughed out loud several times. The actors were great. I do not know any of their names, but they are all rising stars that I have seen in other stuff. There was that kid from Arrested Development, and two other kids I like. I am not one for fact checking. Also that guy from Knocked Up played one of the cops. I would definitely recommend this movie.

Sunday, August 19, 2007

Last Legion

I went to this movie the other day. Good idea, last legion of Rome. But was it well executed? I don't know. I enjoyed some of it. You can tell they were going for something epic, but they just did not pull it off. I go to too many movies.

Friday, August 17, 2007

Invasion

I saw this movie the other day. I like science fiction movies, so I was looking forward to seeing this one. I was not disappointed. I loved the way they introduced the problem with the break-up of a Space Shuttle, totally cool. Another thing that was neat were the crowd scenes with un-infected people talking to people that they knew were not infected. Nicole Kidman, of course, is totally hot in this movie. If you like science fiction movies and hot heroines, this movie is definitely for you.

Friday, July 27, 2007

The Simpsons Movie

I went to this movie the other day. I have to admit that I went to this movie twice and I might even buy the dvd when it comes out. I love the Simpsons. This movie did not disappoint from the very beginning with the Itchy and Scratchy cartoon. Good stuff all around. If you are into the Simpsons you probably have already seen this movie. Go ahead and see it again. You know you want to.

Wednesday, July 25, 2007

Ocean's Thirteen

I saw this movie the other day. I saw the other two, so how am I going to rationalize not seeing this one, especially with my admitted problem of going to too many movies. So, I went to it. It was pretty good. All the smug stars doing their smug best at acting. If you've seen the other two, go ahead and see this one. If not, skip it.

Saturday, July 21, 2007

I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry

I saw this movie the other day. Adam Sandler at his best. Really good stuff. Not to be anti-gay or anything, but too bad it was all gay. I think Sandler and that guy from King of Queens worked great together. Hopefully they will team up again soon. Sandler's character was a great exaggeration. I would recommend this movie, but I know there are people that do not like Sandler movies, too bad for them.

Sunday, July 15, 2007

Evan Almighty

I went to this movie the other day. I liked it. Re-telling of the ark story. I just recently heard a comedian bagging on the ark story the other day prior to seeing this movie, so I watched it with an impious attitude. This movie was very funny. Steve Carrell is awesome and that guy from Sesame Street was pretty good as god. I especially liked the gag reel at the end. One of my pet peeves are movies without gag reels. You know they make mistakes. I think in art the mistakes can often be the best part, especially in comedy. I would definitely recommend this movie.

Sunday, July 8, 2007

Ratatouille

I saw this movie the other day. Good lord. Pretty sappy syrupy stuff here. A talking rat learning to cook. I don't know, rats in the kitchen, what are you going to do. I go to too many movies.

Thursday, June 21, 2007

Knocked Up

I saw this movie the other day. This movie was great. Tons of marijuana humor. Practically a Cheech and Chong movie with a decent romance component. The romance part was great because if felt kind of real. I do not remember the main character's real name, but he was also in Superbad, so he is making some huge moves for himself. I look forward to seeing him again in many funny movies. I hope he keeps making these good choices and working with these great people. Of course his romantic interest is totally hot. I recommend this movie.

Mr. Brooks

I saw this movie the other day. Interesting take on a serial killer movie. Brought up the whole question of nature versus nurture and mental illness. Hurt's character was pretty interesting. Also the guy from Waterworld, Kevin Costner, did a great job too. His daughter's character was interesting. Overall, I liked this movie and recommend it.
