Miami Vice (2006)
I'd rather have toothpicks stuck in my eyes
Okay, I'll make this real easy: Q. What's good about this movie? A. Nothing. Q. Was there any part of the movie I liked? A. No. Q. And your reasons are? You've got to be kidding....where to start, there is no much that is God-awful about this "movie." Okay, I'll try. Direction: b o r i n g. Music: I can't even recall any. I mean, really; they could have used any of Jan Hammer's TV scores from over a decade ago, and that would've been a vast improvement. Acting: Jesus, I mean, with the box office draw they had, you think SOMEBODY would have put forth an effort? Totally, incredibly, bad acting. Action: Now here's what really ticked me off. The genre IS action, isn't it? Where was it? I mean, if you spend the money to rent some cigarette boats and exotic sports cars, shouldn't they be central to an adrenalin shocking chase scene? Nada. Sheesh! Anyway, I left the theater not only grossly disappointed, but feeling as though I had been "ripped off." This is one film that would have been better off left on the cutting room floor, and I mean all of it. Simply put: they don't come any worse.
Casino Royale (2006)
One of the Best Bonds Ever
If you love James Bond movies, as I do, and have seen them all, as I have, you had to be initially skeptical about a "new Bond," as I was. I am happy to report, however, that the new Bond doesn't disappoint, in any way, shape, manner, or form. This Bond is as cool, calm, and collected as Sean, or if you prefer, Pierce; he rates right along side any of the previous terrific Bonds (of course, no one liked Dalton, and Roger was, by comparison to Sean, a second rate Bond, don't you think?). The story line is terrific, and the action, first rate. The opening scene, as good as any. The women, gorgeous, as always, and the locales, beautifully shot (again, as always). This movie, for me, was two hours and twenty minutes of pleasure; there wasn't a moment that I was bored or distracted. My only criticism: the title song was awful. I had been hoping for a McCartney (Live and Let Die), or even Madonna, or Carly Simon. But this title song was just about the worst I have ever heard. Fortunately, the lack of a good title song does little, if anything, to mar an otherwise perfect production.
The Aristocrats (2005)
This "movie" SUCKED!
You know, if the joke were just the slightest bit funny, this could have been a good movie. It could never have been a great movie, because hearing 100 comedians telling the same stupid joke, and ad-libbing the middle of it, just isn't funny; it's boring. 100 people telling the same joke, improvising to make it as gross as possible, is, as another commentator said, tedious.
Although an interesting concept, it falls short in the execution. The movie seems, at times, amateurish; as if this was someone's school project. The direction is lackluster.
I'll grant you that it is, at times, interesting to see the difference between certain comedians, but over all, the movie just drags. Humour? I didn't get it.
