Singularity (2017)
Like a very fine Twilight Episode
This is a well paced, well directed, reasonably well acted and entertaining movie, who would've thought? From the story description one might think this is another cliché commercial movie and I must confess that I was not too interested to watch this movie because I expected just another special effects circus. However, as I am a big fan of Science Fiction movies, I thought I would give this film at least a chance. I must say that despite the trailer and some other comments here you will discover a very tender film about remaining good despite living on a destroyed world.
The young actors Andrew and Calia might not be at A level yet but their performance is good enough to let you feel the basic story of friendship and trust. Cusack and Argenziano play their role well and are a good contrast to the young actors. Overall I would recommend this movie to everybody who is interested in watching a film that is more than just special effects. This is definitely not another Terminator movie but more of a very fine Twilight Episode. My final rating: A+
Jump Offs (2007)
Great movie
Jump Offs a great movie by any measure. It's an entertainment on the surface, with startling stunts, huge sets, technical dance numbers, entertaining "bits", great music both as background and foreground, beautiful places and cinematography and characters that tie all these things together. Attempting to disassemble any part of this juggling act in the act of judging the Movie is to miss the whole point of the movie. It is designed to work as a "meta" meta. Whether or not you agree with the espoused mature outlook and body politic hidden within the clever script and whether or not you choose to pull outward and see how actually genius the entire presentation is as a whole, you can't help but be entertained by this product of Hollywood about Hollywood using the "language" of Hollywood. Like I said, pure genius and I left with a smile on my face. Well done director!
Women Do It Better (2009)
Lot's of fun!
I love romantic comedy movies. So maybe I'm biased, but I had a blast with this movie. Comedy filled with with fast and light touches of exquisite incongruity in scenes that have the expansiveness of relaxed precision, performed and timed with the spontaneous authority of jazz. It offers a great look at the making of movies, and even if each actor besides Derrick Simmons and Gano Grills only have two scenes. The writer is very intelligent and brilliant story! There's a lot of fun to be had with this. If you know what you're going into. Overall this movie is a very enjoyable romantic comedy movie of the time. I'm pretty sure you'll love if you watch it.
Nobody's Perfect (2016)
Good in every way
Bravo. Really good in every way. Intelligent. Restores my faith in American movie making. The director & writer have done a good job. All of the actors seemed like they were chosen for their potential contribution rather than box-office appeal, and they were very good. I think it is better than All the action-comedy movie. How could it have been better? I think slightly more development of some characters where you felt a bit more personal investment in them, and where you believed even more that they were personally affected by the unfolding events. In a way, it restores your faith in what quality investigative movie can produce. This is my movie of the year so far.
