Movie review : Brooklyn’s Finest

Brooklyn’s Finest

Buy the soundtrack for Brooklyn’s Finest
iTunes
Purchase at Amazon

If you’re a fan of either Don Cheadle, Richard Gere or Ethan Hawke, or just like cop movies, then you’ll love Brooklyn’s Finest. This movie is a little like Pulp Fiction without the dark humor.
There are three plots and each is germane to the ending. You see [...]

Movie review : Cop Out

Cop Out

Cop Out was hard to watch. It…um… sucked. It had humor and adventure and really bad guys, with independent but loyal female characters. Some moments provoked a giggle or two.
With me so far?  Cop Out cast me nostalgically back to 80s police movies like Beverly Hills [...]

Movie review : The Crazies

[No Spoilers ] The Crazies is a good solid zombie flick but certainly not the best of the genre. There isn’t a lot of action to speak of so this doesn’t compare to something like Resident Evil. And I don’t recall a single funny scene [...]

Movie review : Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day

Buy the soundtrack for Valentine’s Day
Purchase at iTunes

[ No spoilers ] First off the cast is great and huge. In the first 30 minutes of the movie there were at least 15 different scene cuts and it didn’t seem like we visited the same actor/actress twice. This movie is packed with highly recognizable stars.
There [...]

Movie review : Crazy Heart

[ No spoilers ] For most people, if asked to name a Jeff Bridges movie, more than half would say Starman. I’ve always felt that it was his best role. Until today.
Jeff Bridges as Bad Blake, a wash-up, alcoholic country singer reduced to singing in [...]

[ No spoilers ] I was really looking forward to this movie. And while I’m not hugely disappointed I’m also not exactly thrilled with it either. I guess the good news is that it’s a decent movie because it could have really sucked. [...]
