Thr3e (2006)

A Middle-Grade Film with Potential

[6/10 · 10 January 2007]

Thr3e is a thriller based on a book by Ted Dekker. The film centers around Kevin Parsons, a seminary student, targeted by a psychopath intent on making him "confess his sins."

While I enjoyed the film, the acting falls short on several occasions. Quite frankly, Laura Jordan could use acting lessons. Blucas is left to carry the lion's share of the film and fails at points, though he does a marvelous job during the climax. Priscilla Barnes provides support, believably portraying a bitter shut-in with a deep-set mean streak.The special effects leave something to be desired and the constant use of bombs as a murder weapon gets tired after about the 4th one.

Despite the rough edges, the movie is enjoyable. It's not a summer blockbuster by any means but it does well enough. If money is tight, wait till it hits DVD to watch. Otherwise, it's worth the $8 ticket.

Extremedays (2001)

A Clean Movie

[28 April 2005]

If you're looking for a movie with a lot of sexual humor, cursing, and inappropriate scenes, look elsewhere. Extreme Days is a (fairly clean movie and is a good alternative for people who liked the feel of "Road Trip" and "Euro Trip" but didn't like all the sexuality and language. If your idea of humor thrives on sex scenes and gross jokes, go elsewhere. The movie does have it's share of weird moments, such as the boys lighting their farts on fire and Extreme Shopping. This is a good clean movie you can watch with anyone including but not limited too, pastors, parents, nuns, old people, ninjas, and the FBI.I recommend it for parties, youth events, and just generally having a good time.

Father Goose (1964)

A Clean-cut Comedy

[6/10 · 15 October 2004]

This is a first post, so I'm not sure if what I have to say counts a spoiler. This movie lends itself well to a variety of audiences, including old people, young people, dates, families, and gatherings of friends. Cary Grant gives a great performance with some memorable quotes and an interesting twist on the whole "surrogate family" plot device. Though not entirely historically accurate this film takes advantage of the general settings of the World War II South Pacific to help drive the plot along. While the film is a generally a comedy they felt the need to try and insert action into certain segments. While this helps move the plot along, it is not particularly well done, or always thought out. However, on the whole, it is a highly enjoyable movie.
