Written & Directed by: Andrew Niccol
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Ethan Hawke, Bridget Moynahan, Jared Leto, Ian Holm, Eamonn Walker

Review: Of course I'm going to like this movie. It's about guns. And what guns do. The politics are subtle enough that you might think it's only an action flick. But there's also values and other junk like that, too. And as far as the "life of a 7.62" opening sequence goes, if I had an award to give it, I would.

Time: 15 seconds.

The Brothers Grimm (2005) - Movie Review
Posted on 08.26.05 by Widge @ 3:11 am

Directed by Terry Gilliam
Dress Patterns by Terry Gilliam and Tony Grisoni
Written by Ehren Kruger
Starring Matt Damon, Heath Ledger, Lena Headey, Peter Stormare, Jonathan Pryce

My Advice: Matinee.

It's the early 19th Century in French Occupied Germany. Two brothers, Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm (Damon and Ledger) make their way across Europe, helping out villagers who are plagued with beasties, witches and spooks of all sorts. Well, sorta. Really they're mining Jacob's knowledge of European folklore and going to where the legends say the beasties, witches and spooks are--because chances are very good they'll find superstitious people there willing to believe anything (like, for example, Kansas) and thus, willing to pay handsomely to have their fears dispatched. Because there are people willing to pay for such services, the Grimms are justified in their minds to relieve the people of the necessary coin. Only what if it's not all just heebee jeebie bullshit? What if there's a forest somewhere in France where Some Really Weird Shit is actually going down? And what if they were...compelled (psst--it involves being on the wrong end of guns) to go there?

Directed by: Mike Bigelow
Starring: Rob Schneider, Eddie Griffin, Jeroen Krabbe, Til Schweiger, Hanna Verboom, Douglas Sills

Review: It's time to clear up something about these movies, and the system of character development in general once and for all. Oded Fehr is Israeli, okay? Not Hispanic. Seriously, what the hell?

What Have We Done, Shane?

The name of the movie is The South Will Rise Again. And the title is brilliant because it is a Southern zombie comedy. The trailer is up on their site. Go watch it now. I laughed until my right asscheek fell off.

Finally, Retribution for a Rob Schneider Film

Scourge: Justice is Served

Justice is served.

David Manning, as you might remember, was a fake film critic created by Sony to help them promote films that were essentially crap. Although I actually appreciated The Patriot. But the good news is if you found yourself unwittingly a pawn in their game and shelling out dough to see Hollow Man, Vertical Limit, A Knight's Tale, or The Animal in cinemas, they owe you.

Next...Deuce Bigalow.
