Red State (2011)

December 20, 2011 Leave a Comment

 

Remember how a few reviews back I had mentioned Attack the Block and how I had a limited time frame when it came to watching it? Yeah, well, same goes for this movie. I had heard mixed reviews about Kevin Smith and his foray into a genre that was quite different from what gained him notoriety. I don’t want to say he delved into the “horror” genre, because when I first heard about this movie and the genre he claimed it fell under, he seemed to avoid lumping into the “horror” category. I’m not sure if this was to avoid people setting expectations at what the film would be early on, or maybe it was because he was nervous for claiming he made a horror movie, but either way, his publicity for this film seemed to change. This means the way I perceived the film changed as well, now that he had been calling it a “nasty-ass $4mil horror flick”. I have been putting this off and putting this off, but when I had seen his reactions on Twitter over the lack of nominations it had received with the Independent Spirit Awards, I wanted to see for myself if this tantrum was warranted or not. SO HERE WE FUCKING GO.

 

Wait a second, you’re trying to tell me that Kevin Smith put his wife in a movie? YA DON’T SAY!

 

As Travis (played by Michael Angarano, better known as the little kid from Almost Famous) is driven to school by his mom (played by Anna Gunn, better known as Skylar from Breaking Bad), they pass by a funeral being protested by members of an extreme religious sect known as the “Five Points Church”, which is led by Abin Cooper (played by Michael Parks, better known as that guy Quentin Tarantino loves to put in movies). When Travis meets up with his friends, Jarod (played by Kyle Gallner, better known as the kind of creepy kid from a shitload of movies but I remember from Veronica Mars) lets them know there is a woman he met online who promised to do all of them. Thinking this sounded like a great idea, the friends go to meet Sara (played by Melissa Leo, better known as the crazy mom in The Fighter), who end up drugging them and taking them hostage. When they come to, they realize they have been taken captive by Abin and the Five Points Church, and see someone attached to a cross get executed. Unfortunately for the church, these shenanigans don’t go on for too long before being discovered by the local police department, at which time the ATF is called in to take care of the situation.

 

A church based on high-fives? I’M IN. WHERE DO I SIGN UP AND WHO DO I MURDER?

 

The main ATF agent in charge of the raid is Keenan (played by John Goodman, better known as King Ralph) whose orders are to raid the complex and kill every witness. Having difficulties carrying out these orders, there’s a standoff between the agents and the church, that leaves deaths on both sides. Uncertain of which side will win, both sides are surprised at the sound of loud trumpet blasts, which the Five Points Church seems to interpret as God coming to kill all the bad guys. Having no fear of their salvation, they drop their guns and walk out of the complex to confront the ATF agents, and we then cut to see Keenan being interrogated by his superiors. Apparently the sounds that everyone was hearing were created by neighbors of the church who were playing a prank on the church, completely oblivious to the standoff. Rather than all the members of the church being killed, the important members are thrown in jail, where it is implied that their butts will be fucked repeatedly, which is probably something they won’t enjoy.

 

If you fuck up his cocoon, how do you expect him to turn into a butterfly?

 

After watching the movie, I completely understand why Kevin Smith was hesitant at first when calling it a horror movie. This film all too closely holds a mirror up to the state of this country and its religious fanatics that to call it a “horror movie” implies that everything in it is a work of fiction. Whether a horror movie is based on “true events” or claims to be “found footage”, we know it’s all fake and dramatized just to make us jump or get creeped out. Instead, it seems as though Red State is a far more subtle and subdued type of fear, because of how true to life it is. To anyone familiar with the terrible things that the Westboro Baptist Church has done and is capable of, tone it down just a tiny bit, and that’s how the Five Points Church is portrayed. never once do they act crazy or maniacal, because they are constantly portrayed as calm, rational people who actually think what they’re doing is right. I’m sure that a more appropriate genre could even be “drama”, but I can see how that would cause some controversies as well. And maybe it’s just because I watched the Bill Hicks documentary recently, but there also seemed to be quite a few similarities between Red State and the situation that happened in Waco, TX in the early 90′s. A guy was in a complex with a bunch of other people, doing things that the government didn’t want them to do, so the government just killed everyone.

 

This isn’t actually from Red State. This was the face John Goodman made when someone called him up to tell him what happened in the series finale of Roseanne.

 

Smith is known for his witty, clever, and oftentimes filthy dialogue, and don’t worry, you get plenty of that in this movie as well. Not to say at all that this movie is a comedy, but all of the humor in it is quite smart. I guess that’s kind of a strange thing about all of Smith’s movies, in that no matter how “dumb” a character is supposed to be, they still have some smart humor to them, almost making it seem like the Kevin Smith universe is something that’s…askew. Yes, you might say that there is something askew about his view…get it? Because his company is called View Askew? Oh man, that was great. Anyways, his dialogue is what made him famous, and it was nice to see his visual experiments with this film, being new to the genre and not really needing to adhere to his comedic style. For example, one shot/concept I was really impressed with was that one character was attached to a cross through the use of plastic wrap, and his head was ultimately covered as well. Once it was wrapped, a different character shot him in the head, and the plastic wrap caught all of the blood. To see the faceless head of this character slowly fill with blood was pretty cool, and was a relatively simple idea that didn’t rely on gore or special effects to be creepy.

 

I’d let this man do my taxes, Rapture or no Rapture.

 

So was Kevin Smith justified for going on Twitter and calling the Film Independent an “idiotic organization” for not nominating Melissa Leo, John Goodman, or Michael Parks? No, I can’t say that they deserve those nominations. This isn’t because I’m biased as to who was nominated, because I don’t even fucking know who else was nominated. Don’t get me wrong, Melissa Leo, John Goodman, and Michael Parks were all quite good in this film, in particular was Parks as the terrifying preacher. I think the reason I don’t think they necessarily deserve to be nominated is because their performances were too grounded in reality and were all too human, making it hard to stand out. Does that even make sense what I just said? I guess what I mean is that it didn’t seem that either of the three needed to work too hard to successfully portray their characters. Firstly, Melissa Leo didn’t really have enough screen time, in my opinion, to warrant a nomination. John Goodman played a government agent who didn’t want to kill an entire house full of people just because he was ordered to. I have a feeling that I would react the same exact way as his character would, so it seemed as though John Goodman was just playing himself and how any other human would react, but while wearing an ATF costume. And again, Michael Parks was good, but not mind-blowing, but this goes back to the idea that this film was all too real to be considered all that much of a stretch for any of the actors, and that these were watered-down performances of what the real members of the Westboro Baptist Church are capable of actually living. I didn’t want to give this movie too good of a review because my immediate feelings were underwhelmed and combined with the upset comments on Smith made on Twitter, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized I was being a baby. This movie might not give you nightmares, it might not make you fear a boogeyman, but this movie is hopefully a wake-up call to people who put too much faith in anything. Whether it be whatever God you worship, your government, or the girl who offers to fuck you and your friends after talking to her on the internet. If you think this movie is creepy, just keep in mind that this is a toned down version of the world we live in, we’re all fucked, are going to die, the government is lying to us, and there is no God. Sorry!

Attack the Block (2011)

December 12, 2011 2 Comments

 

I only had a small chunk of time to watch this movie, and unfortunately, I think I missed it completely. What the fuck am I talking about? Well, hold on a second and I’ll tell you, you asshole. What I meant to say was that I heard about this movie back in the spring, the fact that it was produced by Edgar Wright, was sci-fi action horror comedy, and that it was getting good reviews. From there, I determined this would be a film I would like to see. I tried to track it down in a few ways, and kept hearing more and more positive things, until it was eventually released in a theater nearby. I watched the trailer and wasn’t too impressed, but I had heard so many good things, I figured I’d give it a shot. A combination of circumstances prevented me from catching the theatrical release, and I just kept hearing more and more about how good it was. Not wanting my opinion to be biased by all the positive hype it was getting, I tried to ignore it completely. When it was finally released on Blu-ray, it was a long wait on Netflix, but clearly it got to me eventually. As much as I wished I could view it on its own, oblivious to all other people’s opinions, I think I needed to wait a few more years to judge it on its own merit.

 

That guy in front is named “Moses”, and despite the religious implications, he is still a street thug who mugs people and deals drugs. So very, very likable.

 

I think that in the UK teenage punks who commit petty crimes are referred to as “hoods”. If anyone can confirm that, I would appreciate it, but even if they aren’t referred to as that in the UK, I’m going to refer to them as “hoods” in this review. Anyways, the film opens with a group of hoods mugging a woman, only to be interrupted by a car being hit by something falling from the sky. When the hoods investigate what it is, it turns out to be some creature that kind of looks like Mousers from the Ninja Turtles, except covered in fur and with bigger teeth. They bring the dead creature to their drug dealer, who it is assumed is who these hoods answer to. In the meantime, more and more of these impacts from the sky are noticed by people through the neighborhood, causing a little bit of worry amongst this gang. More and more aliens are on the loose, and these are bigger. For this group of hoods, it seems almost like the aliens are targeting them, which might just be because their neighborhood (or “block”, for the purposes of this film) is the only place they’re concerned with. It’s when these hoods go into a room with a shit ton of weed is being grown thanks to giant UV lamps that it is reveled that one of the hoods is covered in something, presumably something he got covered with while killing the first creature. When this hood realizes he’s the one that caused of all this to happen, he takes it upon himself to give detailed instructions on how to create an explosion, using himself as bait, to much success. When all the creatures are dead, the police take him away because he is still wanted for being a little asshole thief drug dealer.

 

This reminds me of the place where I used to play lazer tag. You saw all the shit in someone’s teeth and all the sperm on their clothes. Or you could see the shit on someone’s clothes and the sperm in their teeth.

 

Stupid goddamn hype machine! I went into this movie thinking it would be the greatest fucking thing I had ever seen, so obviously I was upset over the fact that no, it was NOT the greatest fucking thing I had ever seen. Do you remember way back up at the top where I said that I thought this was going to be a sci-fi action horror comedy? Well, it was some of that, but not quite all of it. It was definitely a sci-fi action movie, but to say it fits it should ever be categorized as “horror” or “comedy” wouldn’t be correct. Of course, there are quite a few comedic elements, but aren’t there a lot of action movies with comedic moments? Same thing with the horror aspect, that it wasn’t too scary as you were waiting for the creatures to attack, but there were a few thrills and a few gruesome shots. Regardless of all this genre talk, I think that thing that prevented me from enjoying this movie too much was that I didn’t like any of the characters. I’m sure some people will argue that my summary of what happens is a little too simplified, but that’s pretty much the gist of it. It’s a group of punk kids who think they are badass for mugging a woman, and I’m supposed to give a shit that when THEY kill an alien, the aliens fight back? Or that the woman they originally mugged gets involved with the hoods and they say things like “If we had known you lived here, we wouldn’t have mugged you,” like it makes up for anything? No, they were little punks and sure, they saved some people’s lives by the end of the movie, but I’m not mad that the cops took them away at the end.

 

A little bit furry, a little bit Mouser, and a little bit of a Langolier. Yeah, that’s right, starring Balki from “Perfect Strangers” kind of Langoliers.

 

Once I overcame the fact that I didn’t really like any of the characters, except for the one played by Nick Frost, and got over the fact that this was neither all that horrific or all that comedic, I started to enjoy it a lot more. I think what I enjoyed most about this movie was just the overall visual style that director Joe Cornish used. One thing of note was the creatures themselves, which despite my comedic description, were actually pretty fear-inducing. This is mostly credited to their teeth, which seemed to glow a weird neon turquoise, and those teeth were just fucking giant. Even though the creatures themselves were a very dark black or were hiding in the dark, seeing nothing of them other than giant fucking glowing teeth was pretty cool. Cornish also able to use an in-plot device to get some pretty cool shots. I can’t quite remember why everyone was shooting fireworks throughout the whole movie, but they were, which meant that some of the hoods had plenty of fireworks that they used to startle the aliens. This led to some pretty cool shots involved fireworks and the smoke created by those fireworks, and you can imagine that combining some smoke with glowing teeth got some pretty cool shots. If you’re looking for horror comedy, try something like Evil Dead. If you’re looking for a fun, original sci-fi adventure where you might not like all of the characters but will tolerate them because of some comedic moments, then check out Attack the Block.

Monster House (2006)

October 24, 2011 Leave a Comment

 

Back when I was a projectionist, the trailer for this movie annoyed the FUCK out of me. It started with that little girl singing, and I always had to listen to the very beginning of trailers to make sure everything sounded right. Because of that annoyance, I had a negative opinion of this movie. That all changed the moment I saw this photo:

In case you don’t know what this is a picture of, these are my friends Lazer and Steve-O Beevo. The story behind this picture is that, considering I was working at a movie theater and would get movie shirts to wear. The box was kept in the projection booth, so I had easy access to all of this cool swag. Lazer had mentioned how much Beevo enjoyed this movie, and I’m sure you can figure out where this story is going. I sent the shirts, with the only stipulation being I had to get a picture of these two wearing these XL sized shirts. Based on Beevo’s great taste, I had no other choice but to watch this movie. This movie taught me an important lesson: ALWAYS TRUST STEVE-O BEEVO.

 

A bunch of fucking perverts if you ask me.

 

There’s always that one creepy house that all the kids in the neighborhood is afraid of, and in this cartoon, that’s no different. DJ, voiced by Mitchel Musso, has noticed the crazy old man who lives in the creepy house across the street. Through some surveillance, DJ discovers that it’s not only toys that disappear from this creepy house, but also kids. With his best friend Chowder, voiced by Sam Werner, the two set off to figure out what’s going on. While exploring, they startle the old man who lives there, voiced by Steve Buscemi, and when he confronts the kids, he has a heart attack and seemingly dies. This might seem scary, but this affords the kids an opportunity to go inside. Through the help of some of the teenagers in the area and hearing their stories, as well as their new-found love interest Jenny, voiced by Spencer Locke, they are finally able to infiltrate the house successfully. They find that it’s almost as if the house is alive, which means there’s a way to kill it. The further they explore, they eventually find a large woman who is seemingly cased in concrete. At this time, the old man who lived there shows up, because he’s not dead, and tells the story of the house. Turns out that he used to live there with his very obese wife, and while building the house, she accidentally became encased in concrete. Her spirit is what caused the house to attack passersby because of her wrongful death, and it’s been the old man yelling at everyone in hopes of protecting them. He can’t leave the house, because it’s the embodiment of his wife, and he loves the house. Eventually, the house realizes the kids are trying to destroy it, which leads to the house uprooting itself and chases them to a construction yard. Luckily, DJ is able to blow the house up with dynamite, which frees all of the neighborhood kids of their fear, and the old man of his responsibilities as he gives back all the toys that the house confiscated. DJ and Chowder then have enough time to go trick or treating, because after all, it’s Halloween!

 

HAHAHA THE BABYSITTER’S BOYFRIEND DRESSES LIKE ME!

 

If you hadn’t seen this movie before, would you automatically think, based on the description, that it was a cartoon? And the weird thing is, the filmmakers had to make changes to ALLOW it to be PG. If they had kept the film the way they intended, it wouldn’t have even gotten a PG rating. The film had to include a sequence of the characters who had been “eaten” by the house emerging from the house alive and well to make the cut. There are plenty of segments that are intense and way too scary for kids, and considering that this movie doesn’t really dumb things down for kids is what makes it so much fun. Sure, there is physical comedy in it that’s silly and there’s a scene where Jenny points at an object and says it’s the house’s uvula, causing Chowder to respond with “Ohhhh…so it’s a GIRL house”, which is still pretty mature weiner/vagina humor for the intended audience. I think one of the cooler things about this movie was something I didn’t learn until watching the special features. This movie was filmed with actors wearing motion capture suits, and those motions were then animated with the character designs later on. Not really that new of technology, and plenty of movies before this had used it. The cool thing about this one was that after every scene was animated, the filmmakers had a device that acted as a handheld camera, which would then allow them to move the camera around in different ways for each different scene. Did that make sense? They would create a 3D environment using the motion-capture technology, cover everything in the character and object’s “skin”, and they could treat each scene as an actual environment that someone could move around in with a handheld camera, as opposed to things always being on tripods. I might not be making sense in my description, and I don’t care, because the results show fluid animation with an added touch of “realism” that gave you an animated movie that didn’t feel animated. I definitely recommend anybody to check this out, as it’s definitely one of my favorite Halloween movies that is supposedly for kids.

Drive (2011)

September 18, 2011 3 Comments

 

I’ve been flip-flopping over the past day on whether or not to review this movie. I watched it in chunks while working at the movie theater, and I might have missed a grand total of about ten minutes of it, and those minutes were in the beginning and middle. I feel as though I saw enough of it to have a relatively strong opinion of it, compared to a lot of other movies I kind of half-watched, but was still pissed at myself for missing some of it. I figured that since Wolfgang and I agreed on enjoying the movie, I’d give you guys a full review of it, rather than one of those half-assed reviews i’ve been putting up lately. As a warning, there will be spoilers, so if you’re interested in this movie, I recommend seeing it and then coming back to read this review.

 

The first step in my process of becoming Ryan Gosling will be to buy some of them gloves. That’s a good starting point, right?

 

Ryan Gosling plays the character named “Driver”, not to be confused with the actress Minnie Driver. I don’t think they’re related? Anyways, Gosling is a driver for both illegal activities as well as for stunts in major motion pictures. He sparks a somewhat intimate relationship with his neighbor, played by Carey Mulligan, whose husband is in prison. Sadly for the two, the husband is released early, but hasn’t been able to keep his criminal past behind him. The husband is pressured into doing one last robbery, and Gosling offers his assistance in order to make sure that nothing happens to the family. The robbery results in the husband getting shot, and now Gosling has a million dollars, which he wants nothing to do with. The rest of the film shows Gosling figuring out whose money it is, how to give it back, and how to cut all ties to the events that happened, as well as wanting to ensure the safety of Mulligan’s character and her son. Rather than type out the ending right here, since it’s not some big action sequence or anything, I’m going to cut this part short and say it doesn’t end quite the way you expect.

 

Always good to see Bryan Cranston with hair.

 

Unfortunately this is one of those movies that the more and more someone tries to defend, the more and more pretentious that person sounds. Throwing around terms like “neo-noir”, ”art house film”, or “avant-garde” tell nothing about the movie, but rather confuse and annoy the person who hears these terms. There’s such a vague idea of what elements are present in films with those descriptive terms that I don’t feel it’s fair to say any of those movies should be considered a genre. The strange thing is, I can’t really describe the tone of this movie other than using those words, so it’s a contradiction. One thing I can point out is that there isn’t really one element of this movie that stands out as far as why it’s so entertaining. The characters, the direction, the story, etc. are all relatively generic, but it’s really the combination of all these things that build the atmosphere of Drive. Remove one thing from the equation and the whole house of cards would come crumbling.

 

Christina Hendricks showed us her rare talent of going from classy to skanky more quickly than the car in this film goes from 0 to 60.

 

Friendly reminder: I KNOW THAT THIS ISN’T A UNIQUE, OR ORIGINAL MOVIE, AND IT BORROWED TONS OF THINGS FROM OTHER MOVIES. Ryan Gosling was awesome, as usual, as someone who seemed to be completely detached from and apathetic to reality. You got a sense of mania building right under the surface, you just didn’t know when it would surface. Considering this movie had the disclaimer of “strong brutal, bloody violence”, I was a little nervous for the first hour, but then when we had our first Gosling outburst, it scared the shit out of me. And that was only a verbal outburst, which was clearly only hinting at what was brewing below the surface. Which reminds me, there’s really only about half a dozen scenes of violence, but considering the director consulted Gaspar Noé, director of Irreversible, the intensity was based on the realism of the violence as opposed to frequency. I found it kind of amusing that three members of the supporting cast could be described as “That guy from Breaking Bad”, “That guy from Sons of Anarchy”, or “That girl from Mad Men”. Of course you know that I meant Bryan Cranston, Ron Perlman, and Christina Hendricks, but none of their characters had that many lines. The biggest, and probably most important role in this movie was the city of L.A. itself. The crime, the anonymity, the glamour, all came together and made it seem as though this story and these characters could only exist there and nowhere else. The use of cell phones obviously made us aware that it was contemporary L.A., but the gloss over everything, from the character’s wardrobes to all of the musical choices gave a feeling of shallowness and sleaze to everything that was going on, and added an element of cheese to Gosling’s character.

 

SPOILER ALERT: He doesn’t hammer the nail into the guys head. Which is good, because I learned from Mythbusters that it wouldn’t have worked anyway.

 

Ultimately I’d have to say that this movie worked well because of the elements it borrowed from other films and they way they were incorporated and the juxtaposition it caused. The credits themselves were even bright pink, in a font that reminded you or something like Sixteen Candles. The plot of this movie sounds like something that Charles Bronson or Patrick Swayze could have been in, and those names aren’t regularly used along with the term “noir”. This film managed to not only leave you with a sense of hope, showing how Gosling was so driven to do what needed to be done, but also left you with a feeling of hopelessness, as to say that this film didn’t quite have a happy ending. And can you believe that for a movie called “Drive”, there are barely any car chases? Fine with me! I’d say that if you took musical cues and sense of real world detachment from Lars and the Real Girl, give him an intense desire for revenge like Old Boy, and the plot of something like Death Wish, and you get this movie. And I can’t wait to see it again and see if I like it even more.

Insomnia (2002)

July 18, 2011 Leave a Comment

 

Remember how awesome Memento was? Goddamn, I certainly do. I was obsessed with that movie. Considering how much of a Christopher Nolan fanboy I was, you can imagine how excited I was to see this movie. I think everyone was a little underwhelmed when this movie came out, but whether or not other people did, I sure as fuck did. I mean, how awesome was Memento, and now I get this movie?! I think even then I knew it wasn’t that bad, I was just a little let down. I was probably expecting something more similar to the size and scale of Inception, so I decided to give this bastard another shot. Oh, and it’s a remake of a Norwegian film, and I know that, so I just want to mention it now in case I forget later.

 

Careful in that mist, Thomas Jane might sneak up on you.

 

It’s the middle of the summer in Alaska, which means the Sun won’t ever actually set for a few weeks. A murder takes place and the local law enforcement contact a former coworker, a hot-shot detective played by Al Pacino, to come in and help with the case. Upon the arrival of Al Pacino and his partner, we learn that the LAPD’s internal affairs department is cracking down on Pacino’s character, and his partner is thinking of testifying against him, which obviously causes tension. After a helpful clue is found in the case of the murdered young girl, there is a stakeout with the hopes of the killer showing up. The killer does show up, and a chase ensues. The chase happens near a river, and it being Alaska, there’s a shit ton of fog and it gets kind of confusing to see the guy. One guy is injured by a bullet, and when Al Pacino fires and hits the suspect, upon closer investigation, he sees that it’s his partner, who then dies. Pacino blames the suspect in hopes that this incident won’t cause all of the cases he’s been involved in get thrown out and all the suspects set free. This is when the 24 hours of sunlight really starts getting to our detective.

 

“AND BICENTENNIAL MAN WAS A PIECE OF SHIT!

 

While still trying to investigate the young girl’s death, Pacino begins getting phone calls from the supposed killer who claims he saw Pacino shoot his partner. After Pacino agrees to a meeting, and the killer, played by Robin Williams,  tries to bargain with the detective, basically saying that if he goes down, he’s bringing the detective down with him. After giving the killer some tips to elude guilt, Pacino is also tampering with evidence that will defend the idea of his partner being killed by anyone other than him. I should mention that throughout the entire film there are quick glimpses of someone washing blood out of the fibers of a shirt, yet it’s never quite made clear who it is or why they’re doing this. As the detective continues to lose touch with reality due to not having slept for days, the killer gets closer to getting away with everything, and a young detective, played by Hilary Swank, is getting close to finding out that Pacino killed his partner. We then learn that the glimpses of someone scrubbing blood into a shirt was Pacino who was planting evidence on a supposed child murderer, and that’s the reason internal affairs was cracking down on him. There ends up being a showdown of sorts that involves Pacino, the killer, and the young detective that results in the killer’s murder and Pacino being critically wounded. After Swank’s character attempts to destroy the evidence pointing out Pacino as the murderer, he stops her, and then says that all he wants to do is get some sleep, and then he dies.

 

And then her dick flopped out.

 

After realizing that this movie would have a lot more linear of a storyline than Memento, which, to be fair, every goddamn movie ever has a more linear storyline than Memento, it’s quite good. Whether this film takes place in Alaska, Norway, or in L.A., it’s still an interesting story, just nothing really sets it apart. The subject matter is relatively dark, and it’s definitely a thriller, bordering on elements of noir. When it comes to thrillers of noir films, they are typically always dark or underlit, so the gimmick of everything always being really bright is what makes this film stand apart. Considering the film is called Insomnia, obviously the lack of sleep for the main character causes mistakes in judgement and there are a few scenes really showing the character become almost hypnotized and almost hallucinate. This really exaggerates Pacino’s lapses in judgement and self-doubt over whether or not he has covered his tracks successfully. Add to that the fact that the aesthetics of a brightly lit noir-esque film, and this really is an underappreciated film. Maybe I’m the only one who doesn’t appreciate though, and I’m the asshole.

TrollHunter (2010)

July 2, 2011 2 Comments

 

This was one of those movies that I was super pumped to go see, despite knowing little to nothing about it. I knew it was from Norway, and I mean, come on, when was the last time Norway has let you down? Exactly. I knew it was only getting a limited release so when I found out which theater it was playing at, Cthulhu knows there wasn’t going to be anything getting in my way! I knew that this had to do with trolls, and hunting them, and I knew it was another entry into the annals of “found footage” movies. However, I’d like to point out that this movie is categorized as “non-horror”, but before I actually watched it, I assumed it was a horror film. I think it would be more accurate to call it a B-Movie Sci-Fi with subtitles and trolls. As a warning, I’m not sure if I’m going to spoil anything, because there aren’t really any surprises, but you sure heck bet I’m going to be telling you everything that happens in the movie, just in case you’re the type who doesn’t like reading those kinds of things.

 

Would you expect any less of a beard from a proclaimed “Troll Hunter”?

 

A group of college students are trying to track down this dude with a beard who seems to be some sort of hunter/poacher recluse. Despite the fact that he is clearly blowing them off, they are able to follow him one night into the wilderness of Norway to figure out what the fuck he is doing to animals, and to see if there is any connection between him and all of the bears that have been found killed. When they finally get close enough to him in the middle of the woods, they hear terrifying sounds and see flashing lights, followed shortly by the bearded mystery man yelling “TROLL!”, and we are to assume that a troll is what he was battling. Trolls are real, and this guy, played by Otto Jespersen, is the one who hunts them. In fact, his character’s name is “Trolljegeren”, which translates to Trollhunter in English. Apparently this Trolljegeren hunts down and kills various types of trolls, of varying size, but all trolls die in one of two ways: explosion or turning to stone. The whole dead bear thing? Just a coverup to explain why people/animals will end up dead. We see the crew encounter a few different kinds of trolls, a few different hunts that have varying results, and when the Trolljegeren kills a 200 foot tall troll, he disappears and is never heard from again. The same is said about the students who shot the footage, and no one really knows what happens. The end of the film shows the prime minister or president or dictator of Norway, whatever the fuck they call their leader, during an actual press conference where he mentions how much electricity is used in Norway because of “trolls”, which the filmmakers intended to be taken literally, and is a really fun way for the film to end.

 

TAKE THAT YOU GODDAMNED FUCKING TROLL! TALK ABOUT BEING STONED, AM I RIGHT?!

 

I’ve gotta be completely honest, and admit to the fact that my immediate reaction wasn’t impressive. I mean, sure, I was entertained, but it wasn’t scary, and, well, wasn’t scary. Not that I thought a movie called “TrollHunter” would actually be scary, because I knew it was a type of mockumentary, but I thought it would be a parody of the horror genre as opposed to the sci-fi genre. After sleeping on it and thinking about it more, I can admit that my first impression wasn’t the appropriate one, and that this movie was pretty fun, and creative. The filmmakers were able to come up with pretty believable scientific reasoning as far as what happens with the trolls and why, as well as the rules, regulations, and policies of this federally regulated team. It seemed as though the filmmakers had seen the press conference with the leader of Norway and enjoyed his phrasing when describing the energy situation and really ran with it, creating a really fun monster movie. I don’t remember much about fairy tales and the mythology around trolls, but I do know that there were references that I clearly wasn’t getting. For example, one troll that was being hunted was living under a bridge and was lured out using billy goats, and despite not being able to quite put my finger on the story, I knew it was a reference to something that I had absorbed into my subconscious. If you’re a fan of quality sci-fi monster movies, I definitely recommend it, and the landscapes of Norway certainly lend itself to the idea of giant monsters running around. Who wants to go there and hunt trolls?

Green Lantern (2011)

June 18, 2011 4 Comments

 

Going into this movie, I had pretty low expectations. This summer, we already had Thor, which was good, and X-Men: First Class, which was a lot of fun, and I highly doubted this could be better than the previous comic book movie I had seen. Add to that the fact that I didn’t really think the movie would work quite that well, and the early negative reviews, I was nervous that everything would be completely fucked. The last DC movie that had come out had been The Dark Knight, which took Hollywood and the general public by storm, so how the fuck could this follow that up? Let’s just say that this version of the movie was better than the original concept that was being passed around a few years ago. Did you know that this movie was originally going to be a comedy starring Jack Black? I shit you not, that a few years ago, before the “gritty realism” of most other comic book movies, Green Lantern was going to be funny. Thank fucking Cthulhu that someone realized how dumb that was, and how much better Ryan Reynolds would look in a skin-tight suit.

 

Yes, Ryan, everyone is still pissed at you for marrying, and DIVORCING ScarJo

 

Since the Green Lantern mythos is kind of confusing to explain to anybody, the beginning of the movie had to give you a crash-course in Green Lantern-ness. These really powerful aliens harnessed an energy force in the universe, that was green, and was powered out of an individual’s sheer will. That green energy was transferred to rings, and the wearer of the ring could construct anything their mind was capable of, as long as they had the conviction of will. Once a ring had “chosen” the bearer, they would be assigned a sector. The one responsible for the sector that Earth was in was well-renowned after having defeated an entity who is the antithesis of will, and who was powered by fear. This entity, known as Parallax, literally sucked the fear from individuals, draining them of their life force. Unfortunately for Abin Sur, Parallax escaped and hunted him down, and critically wounded him. All of this shit happens in probably the first five minutes, and is aided by a narration by Geoffrey Rush, so if you got confused, I wouldn’t be surprised.

 

If you use SPF 100, you can avoid the weird purple color next time you go to the beach

 

The ring wearers are referred to as “Green Lanterns”, and after his escape from Parallax, Abin Sur landed on Earth. In Abin Sur’s last moments, his ring left his finger in search of the replacement Green Lantern, and found its way to Ryan Reynolds. Well, not Ryan Reynolds, the character is named Hal Jordan, but he’s played by Ryan Reynolds. Hal is a hotshot pilot who is cock, brash, and irresponsible, but aren’t all good superheroes? Once realizing the power of his ring, Hal is transported to the home-base for all the members of the Green Lantern Corps, a planet called “Oa”. Once there, a powerful Green Lantern named Sinestro, played by Mark Strong, expresses his doubts and concerns, and through a brief boot-camp sequence, Hal claims to quit and heads back to Earth. Peter Sarsgaard plays Hector Hammond, the scientist who gives Abin Sur an autopsy, where he inadvertently infected by what remains of Parallax in Abin Sur’s corpse, which causes Hector’s head to swell grotesquely as well as amplify his mental prowess, giving him the power to read minds and control objects. Because of his powers and he jealousy over Hal’s relationship with Carol Ferris, played by Blake Lively, Hal realizes he must defeat Hector. As if Hector being a dick wasn’t enough, the amount of Parallax inside him causes Parallax itself to head towards Earth in hopes of destroying what remains of Abin Sur’s legacy. Hal stops his pity party and takes on Hector, defeats him, then takes on Parallax, and destroys it. The rest of the Green Lantern Corps take notice, and Hal Jordan rejoins them, as a peace keeper in the universe.

 

I don’t really know who this Blake Lively bitch is, but based on Rampaige’s hatred for her, I feel like I am obligated to like her

 

What the fuck was everyone complaining about? Sure, the movie wasn’t great, but it really wasn’t that bad. In fact, I enjoyed myself. Granted, there were moments where I felt like I was watching the Hulk movie from 2003, when there was way too much shit going on to figure out what the point was. They were, for the most part, able to set the stage for the role of Green Lanterns, while remaining relatively faithful to the comics. I thought Ryan Reynolds was fine as Hal, but possibly a little too much on the self-conscious side of thing. Hal Jordan is known for his cockiness and how self-centered he is, but I understand that this was just one story where you need to introduce the character to millions of oblivious people. As far as acting goes, Reynolds couldn’t compete with the two supporting actors, Sarsgaard and Strong. Sarsgaard went from a vulnerable, intelligent character who you were sympathetic with, all the way to a grotesque, disgusting person that you couldn’t bring yourself to look at. Strong portrayed Sinestro as regal, powerful, and commanding, and despite Sinestro currently being regarded as a bad guy in the comics, he still has elegance to him that Strong conveyed wonderfully. Blake Lively? Well, yeah, she existed in this movie as well.

 

Ugh, that veiny forehead looks so sensitive that even I have a headache now

 

What really set this movie apart from any other comic book movie that has been released were the visual look of this movie. First off, Parallax is the embodiment of fear, which even in comic books is difficult to portray, but typically has a fluidity to it. On the screen, we saw a being who fluctuated in size, shape, and density, that was constantly moving, smoking, melting, and burning. In my opinion, they really nailed it. I thought the portrayal of the Guardians, the beings who originally harnessed the energy, lived on isolated thrones on Oa that were hundreds of feet tall, commanding the respect and inspiring awe in anyone who spoke with them. The robes they wore draped over the thrones and were almost as long as the thrones themselves. And any time the constructs were used, courtesy of the rings, were believable and creative, making for quite entertaining action sequences. I really feel as though the creative design of this movie gave you the sense of scale of the vastness of the universe in which Green Lantern exists, which might have alienated some viewers, but entertained me tremendously. And okay, I’ll admit, that Hal Jordan’s suit didn’t look all that cool, but it was the proof of concept. Every member of the Corps has a slightly different suit because the suit itself isn’t fabric, it is constructed from the power of the ring. It served its purpose, and won’t stop anyone from buying a Green Lantern costume this Halloween. Also, I commented on how shitty his mask was at disguising two inches of his face, there was a scene where Blake Lively realizes his him, and lets him know that hiding his cheekbones won’t fool her.

 

Why don’t more superheroes wear uniforms that emphasize every muscular fiber in their body?!

 

Maybe I’m being a little too lenient after having such low standards, but I am pretty sure that I really was as entertained as I claim. There really were moments where I doubted the quality of the movie, but the final action sequences really turned me around and made me a fan. There were also a few references for comic fans to pick up on, like the inclusion of the notorious Green Lanterns Kilowog and Bzzd, and Carol’s call sign of Sapphire, referencing the fact that currently she is a member of the Star Sapphire Corps as well as using that Corps’ insignia on her helmet. Without spoiling it, shortly into the credits we see where Sinestro’s fate is headed, which goes in line with the comic book lineage as well as sets us up for a sequel. In the current state of comic book movies, where everyone is trying to compare things to reality, it was nice to see a movie that called for the attitude of “FUCK IT” and go all out with its ambitions. Despite your Iron Mans and your Dark Knights and your X-Mens trying to relate to things you know, Green Lantern really shot for the stars showed you something a lot more majestic and astronomical, which I feel people probably haven’t seen since the original Superman. Granted, I am not saying this movie was as good as that movie, but it brought a refreshing tone to comic book movies. However, there’s not fucking way I could ever picture a team-up movie featuring Christian Bale as Batman trying to help Green Lantern fight fucking fear monsters.

Super 8 (2011)

June 11, 2011 Leave a Comment

 

It’s an alien. I mean, everyone knew that already, right? Sorry if it wasn’t incredibly obvious to you, but this movie was so very clearly about some type of alien. With that stuff out of the way, it was still anyone’s game as far as what could happen in the movie. Obviously J.J. Abrams being associated with something science fiction automatically makes you think of surprises, viral marketing, and mystery. From the very first teaser, I was super excited about this movie, and that teaser came out a year ago. Once a full length trailer was released, I was still interested, but I knew it wasn’t going to be as much of a head scratcher as something like Cloverfield. The closer and closer this movie got to being released, the more and more clips and advertising material was being put out there, that I avoided like the fucking plague. Clearly this movie wasn’t trying to stir up as much mystery as some of his previous endeavors, but I wasn’t taking the risk, and despite being a little hesitant, that didn’t stop me from going to see it as soon as it opened. And don’t worry too much about spoilers, because yes, there will be some, but there isn’t some huge twist or anything like that, because it’s so obviously aliens.

 

The filmmakers really hit the nail on the head when depicting what it was like to be a child in the late 1970′s who film zombies movies. Take it from me, because that’s exactly what I was doing in the late 1970′s.

 

Joe Lamb’s mom has died in some sort of accident and the only person to take care of him is the deputy of the town they live in. One of the few things that Joe, played by Joel Courtney, has that gets him excited, is his group of friends that he makes movies with on a super 8 camera. I wonder if that’s how they came up with the name of the movie? Hmm, probably just a coincidence. While filming a scene as a train passes by, Joel sees a car get on the tracks, which caused a huge goddamned explosion. Their camera falls and is left for dead as the friends gather their members, and as they see authorities approaching, grab their equipment and head home, and make sure to send the film away to be developed. Considering this movie was taking place in the late 70′s, it took three days for the film to get developed. During that time, the Air Force shows up and begins a sneaky cleanup of the whole incident and after questioning the Air Force, Joe’s dad gets taken into custody. Between car engines disappearing, as well as neighborhood dogs, it’s obvious that there’s more going on than just a train wreck, and we learn that the man who drove his car onto the tracks used to be someone who took care of the alien that has escaped the train. The kids get the developed film and see the alien escaping the train wreck, and learn that the alien has been getting around town via underground tunnels. When Joe comes face to face with the alien, rather than being terrified, he remains calm, and the psychic connection that the alien shares with him causes him to leave Joe alone. All the alien was doing was building a giant electromagnet that he used to get all of the pieces of his ship, and by the end of the movie, he has gotten all the pieces back, and we see the alien ship leave Earth.

 

Ron Eldard, is that you?! I haven’t seen you since Men Behaving Badly! Anyone else remember that show? It was terrible.

 

See, not too spoiler-filled, was it? Hopefully this movie helps get rid of the stigma of twist endings or anything like that, and focuses more on J.J. Abrams just knowing how to cause intrigue with his films. This movie was a lot of fun, and had quite a few traditional jump scares that were definitely effective. Without spoiling things further, but also knowing J.J. Abrams style, the alien itself looked like something similar to the Cloverfield monster, which did lead to a little bit of confusion at what you were looking at anytime you saw it. Other than the alien itself, of course the style of the movie resembled Spielberg, and I mean that in a good way. I suppose Abrams is known for his inclusion of lens flares, which were happening throughout the entire film, but it does seem to add an otherworldly impact on everything that you’re seeing, as well as an almost nostalgic feel given to the whole movie. The kids themselves were quite enjoyable to watch, with their personality quirks being just familiar enough that you could remember a friend of yours that was similar to them, yet not so extreme that you were annoyed with them. The whole movie was quite a bit of fun, despite being a little underwhelming on the mysterious side, but definitely worth a viewing.

Hanna (2011)

May 31, 2011 3 Comments

 

I was a little nervous about paying money to go see this movie, thinking that people might look down on me. I mean, forget about everything you read about in the tabloids and all that controversy and bullshit, and I think the actress is extremely talented. Some might say “gifted”. Luckily, I was able to convince JD to come with me, which I thought was only because it was $4, but it turns out he also wanted to see it. What are the odds?! Another adult male interested in going to see this movie! Once the movie started, I realized it was NOT the Hannah Montana movie. Dammit.

 

So THIS is what Anne Heche has been doing!

 

We first see Hanna, played by Saoirse Ronan, stalking a caribou or something in the arctic tundra, shoot it, then get attacked by Eric Bana, who plays he father. These two have been living in the woods for quite some time, and Hanna wants to go to civilization. He brings in a transmitter thing and tells her that when she wants to leave, just to hit the switch. When she does, some sort of government strike force team apprehends her and takes her into custody. Once in custody, Hanna attacks everyone and escapes, which starts lots of chasing and running and people being beat up. Hanna is trying to meet up with her father at the set rendezvous point, which is also where her father is trying to get to, and Cate Blanchett’s character is trying to intercept them. Through all of this chasing, we learn that Eric Bana isn’t really her birth father, and that Hanna was genetically altered to be stronger and faster than other humans, also to be devoid of fear and pity. Hanna learns this and obviously becomes pissed at her “dad”, but it’s okay because one of Cate Blanchett’s henchmen stops him and gets him killed. Hanna gets back to the rendezvous point followed shortly by Cate Blanchett, and they have a showdown that results in Hanna being shot with a gun and Blanchett being shot by an arrow. The arrow beats the gun, Hanna gets the gun, shoots her in the head, and then the title of the movie pops up onscreen, letting us know the movie’s over.

 

Blanchett in this movie was somehow equal parts Dana Scully and Jodie Foster from “Silence of the Lambs”

 

In retrospect, I guess I left out the whole “coming of age” storyline that took place for a long period of time in the middle. So, let me say right now, there’s a big coming of age segment in the middle where Hanna meets a family and a girl her age and learns about friendship. I guess I didn’t include it because there didn’t end up being any sort of twist involving those characters as other movies might have done. Multiple times int he movie I was trying to figure out what influences the filmmakers had during production, just couldn’t quite put my finger on it. There were segments that reminded me of videogames, yet I feel as though it would cheapen the experience of this movie by saying it was “like a videogame”. There were scenes that were quite surreal, as well as shots and scenes that I can only describe as “hyper-real”, whatever that might mean. This hyper-realism was demonstrated in the way the movie looked and the way shots were constructed, and the surrealism came from the music in the movie. There were times where you couldn’t discern whether the music you were hearing was taking place in the movie, or if it was just the soundtrack, because of how effectively music was used.

 

Eric Bana was pretty badass in this movie, I just kept looking forward to seeing him fighting everyone. Maybe I just couldn’t wait to see that strong jawline and all of his muscles rippling and….uhhh…I mean he was cool.

 

Both in the context of the movie and the subtext, there were a lot of references to fairy tales, and I feel as though I were familiar with more of those stories, I’d be able to draw more direct comparisons. Early in the story, Hanna is seen to have kept a photo of her mother in a worn copy of “Grimm’s Fairy Tales”, which seemed to foreshadow the tone of the rest of the film. Multiple times throughout the film, Cate Blanchett’s character is referred to as a “witch”, and when Hanna and her father are supposed to rendezvous, they do so at an abandoned theme park that was styled after fairy tales. I can’t remember the name of the song, but when one of the characters put on a record with a piece of classical music that is almost cliché in its use of bringing tense situations, the music crescendos just as the “witch” arrives to confront Hanna. As well as a scene where Hanna is checking to see if the witch is outside, and when she draws back the curtain, she only sees the eye of the witch looking directly at her from behind a piece of shattered glass. This movie wasn’t your typical action film, based on its characters as well as the overall tone of the film, yet wasn’t quite unique enough to leave a memorable impression on its viewers.

Twister (1996)

May 28, 2011 6 Comments

 

I know you’re thinking that this is my asshole way of mocking everyone who lost their houses in the recent tornadoes, and you’d be wrong. Granted, I was inspired to watch it because of shitty weather the other day, which somewhat coincided with all the storms in the Midwest, but that’s different. The reason that I did watch this movie is because of how FUCKING AWESOME IT IS. I don’t think I realized until two years ago, when I bought it on DVD for $5, just how entertaining it is. I remember seeing trailers for it and being super excited for it, and when I saw it in theaters, it was just a perfect mindless summer blockbuster. So let’s talk about it!

 

As shitty as this movie is, the special effects were actually pretty awesome

 

We start off immediately with shitty whether, and we see a father, mother, and little girl seeking refuge from a terrible storm in a storm shelter, only to see the father get sucked up into oblivion for trying to protect his family. Once the door blows away, however, we see the mother and daughter standing there like it’s not even that big of a deal. Moral of the story? The father could have, ya know, not get sucked up into the sky, and everyone would have been fine. We then cut to “present day” and we see Bill Paxton driving with Jami Gertz to get divorce papers signed by Helen Hunt. While tracking down Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, whose character’s name is Bill, probably so Bill Paxton didn’t get confused, we also meet the rag-tag group of storm chasers that used to be the old team. This team is comprised of people like Alan Ruck, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and even Jeremy Davies, aka Daniel Faraday from lost. Why wouldn’t you want to spend some time with these guys?! When Helen Hunt, whose character’s name is Jo, mentions they finally built a machine that Bill designed, he decides to stick around and see it’s successful launch.

 

“JO! WE’VE GOT JUMPERS AND SISTERS AND SIDEWINDERS! WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE GONNA DO?!”

 

In case you thought it was easy to just launch some big tornado machine into a tornado, you’d be wrong…DEAD WRONG. Not only does the team have to find the tornadoes, but they also have to compete with another team of storm chasers, lead by former teammate Cary Elwes. Think of that other group as one of the bad guys hockey teams from the Mighty Ducks movies.  I guess the biggest driving plot point is the awkward sexual tension between Jo and Bill, and their desire and difficulty to get their device to get sucked up into the tornadoes. Jamie Gertz decides to leave the engagement she has with Bill, Bill falls back in love with Jo, and they are eventually successful in getting a tornado to suck up this device, and then you can hear Van Halen being played over the credits.

 

I can’t believe you forgot that during the trailer, the guy who runs up and yells “THEY’RE COMING!” was Philip Seymour Hoffman. You idiot.

 

I can admit that this movie isn’t at all “good” in the traditional sense, but goddammit if it isn’t entertaining as shit. I don’t really even know where to start with how funny everything in this movie is, and how you can’t help but laugh at how serious everyone took it. After all, it was directed by Jan de Bont from “Speed” fame. Maybe he thought something like “What if we have fast-moving things come to the characters, rather than the characters stuck on a fast-moving thing!?” Brilliant. Have I mentioned that Bill Paxton plays a guy named Bill? And that Bill’s nickname in the movie is “The Extreme”, because of how extreme he was at chasing tornadoes? That’s so awesome.

 

IT’S SIDEWINDING RIGHT FOR US AGGGH BLARKNHKJ!!!!!!

 

You know who didn’t know anything about tornadoes before this movie? Me. You know who else? Everyone. Some of my favorite scenes were when the characters had to set up the terminology that was being used, including some sort of system involving the letter “F”. Essentially, an F1 is a wimpy tornado, and an F5 is the most powerful, with one guy calling it a “defender of God”. When Jami Gertz asks if anyone’s ever seen an F5, everyone gets quiet and looks upstairs, because that’s where Jo is and that’s what killed her Dad. NOOOOO!!!!!!! Or the scene where everyone is chasing a tornado, then it starts to move in a slightly different direction, and Bill says something along the lines of “UH OH, WE GOT A SIDEWINDER”, and we can deduce that that’s what everyone calls a tornado that moves in a slightly different direction. Or maybe when they are tracking a tornado, and then instead of one big one, it becomes two little ones, and Bill says something along the lines of “UH OH, WE GOT SISTERS”, and we can deduce that that’s what everyone calls a tornado that turns from one big one into two little ones. What about the scene where a tornado touches down briefly, only to get sucked back up into the sky and everyone anticipates it touching down again somewhere? Yeah, they got a term for that, because Bill yells something along the lines of “UH OH, WE GOT A JUMPER”. If you’re looking for a bit of nostalgia of an oft-forgotten action movie from the mid 90′s, go out and watch this movie immediately, because it’s hilariously bad, yet entertaining.
