Jazz in the Diamond District (2008)
I REALLY wanted to like this movie...
I love go-go. I'm from the DMV. I have an idea of what everyone's about. I know people like that, that's where I'm from. I mean, the bbq scene, that was home. That doesn't make a good movie though What ever happened to the guy who raped Jazz? Although I agree with the message that D.C. artists go to NYC and get raped one way or another. Rather than staying at home and get love.
What happened to the dude that raped her? They left a lot of loose ends, but something that huge? The end of the movie felt like half-time.
Wood Harris was TERRIBLE at trying to pretend he was from D.C. He could not get the accent or the slang right. It's not in him. Why fake it. Even damn UCB couldn't barely act, and all they had to do was be themselves. They were barely believable...on stage talking as a go-go band. That's bad off.
Best part about this movie (besides I watched it free)? The music scenes. I suggest, go buy a video of UCB performing (or whoever the hell you want to hear).
My least favorite part: Someone got killed in the go-go. It is not NEARLY as violent in the go-go these days. If you're really that worried, go to a 24 and over show.
Halloween II (2009)
Re:Worst sequel/remake ever
Whatever man.
I thought it said a lot without saying anything, which I appreciate a whole hell of a lot more than when they started doing that druid sh-t in the later series.
That's not even the worse Halloween sequel/remake. H20 and Resurrection are pretty freaking AWFUL. Yet I own them. Cause Halloween 1 & 2 are my favorite slasher horror of all time.
That Michael bay abortion of Friday the 13th was WAY worse than this, which I actually enjoyed.
They changed Dr. Loomis entirely in this. Cause no one's ever gonna be Donald Pleasance, baby. Michael McDowell is a fantastic actor but he even got on my nerves in the first one, as good a job as he did. Cause he's not Donald Pleasance. So they made him into more of an as-hole. It worked well. I was glad to see him die. Plus his death set Mikey free. It was very symbolic if y'all didn't catch that.
I was also glad it was only 90 minutes. Damn sitting in the theater for 3 hours. I'm sick of it. I was entertained. By the time I was ready to go, the movie was wrapping up.
OK, um, all that transition mixing/whatever where he tried to use "nights in white satin" did NOT work. Maybe, as a musician, he(RZ) should have chosen a song HE knows, rather than try to re-work what's been done.
Also, where did party come from? I always thought the point was Haddonfield, IL is a small town. All of a sudden there's this kick as- party?? With like strippers and all kinda good drugs and stuff?? I know it was Halloween and all... but still. Plus alright, the main character was a little inconsistent. However, she was also crazy. I'm crazy, I tend to be a little inconsistent. So I'm not too mad..
only complaints were those two.
