Tenure Nice little comedy with some heart. It has an artsy feel to it. And if you're fan of bigfoot, then you got to see this. There was a few smiles here and there. This is not a laughing comedy, but a smart one. If the movie "Freedom Writers" got together with the movie "Rushmore", then this must be their baby.
Linda's Chick Flick Night Presents: The Time Traveler's Wife Linda's pick for this month was this part drama part sci fi flick. By looking at the trailer, I thought, here's this typical romance drama. After watching this, it was quite good. It's more drama than romance. At first it was somewhat confusing, but then I got the hang of it. The casting was great. There's sad sappy moments, but it's necessary for this kind of story. So my final comment is, this is a good movie to watch with your better half.
Black Devil Doll Holy crap!! I knew what I was getting myself into. I heard this was so bad that it's good. I had to get this out of my system. So I say it again, "holy crap!!" And crap it is. I had a few beers with me to be able to enjoy this. So this is what I thought, the first 30 minutes of getting to know this doll was actually funny. Stupid funny. Very low budget feel. The rest of the film was a little annoying. The bloody scenes wasn't all that. Basically, the first half was kinda like a soft core porn, and the second half was the killing scenes. Both done very cheesy, of course. I don't think I ever want to see this again. And I strongly don't recommend this to no one. At your own risk.
Deep Red For today's movie standards, this isn't scary. There were some scary scenes, but not overall. For its time period, this is some crazy shit. I like the beginning sequence. The camera shots were also good. The story was not that impressive for me. But I do like this slasher flick as a whole. I've only seen one other Dario Argento film. That film was, Suspiria. I enjoyed Deep Red just a little more than Suspiria. The only other things I didn't like about this one was the pacing of the movie and the ending.
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans Not bad. Unexpectedly weird slow driven film. Nicholas Cage's performance was wonderful (a lot better than the crap he's been in for the past few years). Love the trippy hallucination scenes. For a second there, I thought I was high with this dude. I was expecting a little more action. Movie is a little over two hours, you got to be a little patient. Expect some strangeness and a little bit of confusion. This was okay, nothing more and nothing less.
Documentary Night Presents: Capitalism: A Love Story The latest from Michael Moore wasn't exactly one of his best. I'm a fan of Michael Moore. Regardless, if he's full of shit or not, he makes interesting documentaries. This one got me a little confused in the first half. The flow is usually better in his other films. For some reason, that wasn't working for me here. The overall message was clear. Like his past two films, there's less humor and more serious stuff. I think this is the first time I heard Moore say a few bad words like "What the fuck?" This is for Moore fans only. For everybody else, I recommend Bowling for Columbine (my favorite Moore documentary).
Der Baader Meinhof Komplex Good action scenes in this hardcore political thriller. But, it was a long ass movie. This needs multiple viewings to process all the information. I lost track of what was going on half the time. Love the use of music on here (the beginning and the final credits). This was both crazy and intense. Can't believe this was all based on true events by actual terrorists. This German flick is not for the regular movie person. If you like movies like Sophie Scholl: The Final Days or Che, then check this out. I thought it was decent.
