Obsessed (2009) FULL MOVIE DIVX


Review


I know I am included in the many people who go on and on about Hollywood constantly cranking out drivel over and over again but why? Why does Hollywood do this? Well it is because many people pay to see it and those of us who complain about this product do not go around shelling out our hard-earned money for this crap but many of you support this; you know who you are. I think…no, I know that it will only get worse. Most movies nowadays are really no longer about being story driven; however it's more and more commercialized garbage of who can sell the most tickets. Well you and I know that most of the demographic that goes to the movies are teenagers and it is no speculation that many of them do not care about character and/or dialogue driven or intricately plotted films. No this is fast food, talk show entertainment; no thought required. In this case, we have this weekend's bad movie called Obsession, well there is another one called Fighting which is a Never Back Down Fight Club, but that is for another page. By the look of the movie poster, I initially thought it would be something directed straight to DVD but no sadly it is not. I guess this is mostly for people who don't even remember Fatal Attraction and geared toward mostly the Lifetime audience.

Plot, let's see, successful Idris Elba receives huge promotion at some company he works for (does it matter what?), is happily married to Beyonce and they have a nice house with a white-picket fence out in the suburbs. It's the American dream come true, right? But no wait, there's a new temp in the office (Ali Larter) and the two of them hit it off but only after he gives her a snotty look with the remark, "You're a temp?" and they go out to a flashy glitzy club and share drinks and before you know it, they're all over each other right away. There is no nudity or explicit sex involved; well it's PG-13 so it's very tame. There's just a lot of groping and grinding, sorry boys. So during throughout the middle, Ali Larter becomes, well…Obsessed and Idris has a hard time confessing his affair but finally does after Ali's escalating bizarre behavior but not too bizarre, this is PG-13 folks. Then Beyonce becomes more and more frustrated. Plus the fact that she knows whom he has slept with because they met earlier in the movie. Oh Beyonce is going to take her down, at least she's says so because Idris doesn't want to take full control of the situation fearing that this could possibly destroy what he has worked oh so hard for.

Then there's the howling, scathing catfight between Ali and Beyonce, whoo-hoo!!! Little blood is shown, remember this is PG-13 and everything ends on a happy note and all is forgiven. Could this be a social commentary on race relations? Hardly. Also, there are many people talking about a possible "big twist". No, no twist. Believe me, if there were, it would be advertised totally differently, like the movie's tagline would be something like, "Who's doing what to whom?" in such the dramatic voice. Yeah go suckers, give 'em your money.

Shawn calls it fate; you could call it Teen Fight Club, because they run in such a tight circle they might as well all be attending the same high school. On the same night Shawn again encounters Zulay, he exchanges evil glares with Evan Hailey (Brian White), the acknowledged superstar of the extreme fighting scene. Evan wrestled on the same team with Shawn in college until Shawn had a major blow-out with his father, who was coaching the team.

The Soloist (2009) FULL MOVIE DIVX


Description



(Per an advance preview:) JAMIE FOXX does a fantastic job playing a homeless guy in Los Angeles who was once a gifted musician at Julliard who later developed various schizophrenic & emotional problems as he wanders the rough streets. This film tells the true story of how a local newspaper columnist (finely played by ROBERT DOWNEY JR.) chances to meet Foxx, writes about his story, and his many efforts to try to make life EASIER for him-- by encouraging him to return to playing the cello, to find a safer and better place to live and to interact with other homeless people. Because of the difficulties inherent in Foxx's psyche, his ramblings & recurrent departures from reality, Downey has a frequently tricky and demanding time in dealing with him and others in his life (including his ex-wife & co-worker CATHERINE KEENER). The film effectively portrays the young Foxx, his growth and his later descent into a life filled with problems. It's not always easy to deal with, but it's uplifting seeing the progress that the homeless and otherwise disadvantaged can make.

The Informers (2009) FULL MOVIE DIVX


Description



I quite enjoyed Aluisio's critique of the film. I did not agree with him on all of his points, but most definitely with the Altman criticism. My problem with the film was the lack of "style" or commitment to a "look". It just missed. Here you have all these elements to capitalize on to help you illustrate the '80's in LA and you choose "Raybans" as the center piece. So-o-o-o many pairs of Raybans, that it became laughable. My other problem was the loss of one of the presumed major characters at the Beverly Hilton "wake"...he just vanished from the story after his crying fest amongst his nonchalant coked-up buddies on the deck over-looking the infamous pool, with its cabanas. I did enjoy the portrayal of the music scene and the infiltration of the British band on that scene and his dark, complex self-destructive character...the actor was great! It appeared to me that Mickey Rourke shot his portion of the film in one afternoon (probably a long one). I thought the young actors were there prepared to give to the script, but there was a definite lack of cohesive representation of this rich period in LA. Mr Thornton and Miss Basinger seemed to give effortless performances that were on the verge of being memorable but did not quite hit the mark. I think that this film would have been a lot better with more time put into it. It appeared that the film maker was rushed in his efforts. I found him to be such a pleasant person at the introduction at Sundance that I believe that he is a talent to look out for, but for goodness sake, give him the time to produce his art!

Twilight (2008) FULL MOVIE DIVX



Review



Don't spend your time comparing it to the book. If you just sit there comparing the book and the movie, you'll take the fun out of the movie itself. If you are a book reader, reading Midnight Sun really helps understand Edward's reactions and such. This is the best movie I've seen that has stayed the closest to the book as much as it could. I do understand why they made a few changes to please some of the moviegoers who haven't read the book. It ties things in a different but acceptable way. I loved how they interpreted the book. I understand that it was a teen movie so of course there was a little cheesiness at times. But hey, the book is geared towards a teen audiences regardless of the wide age range that actually reads it. I think Summit did a good job and should make New Moon.

Sleep Dealer (2009) FULL MOVIE DIVX


IMDB RANK = 6.0/10


Description


Memo (Luis Fernando Peña), a young Mexican, lives on a milpa in Santa Ana, Oaxaca with his family. Once, a river flowed through the milpa, which his father owns. But a few years ago, the Del Rio Water Company built a dam upstream. Now, residents of Santa Ana must pay $1/gallon to enter the facility and collect water.

In his spare time, Memo tinkers with discarded radio parts and builds an antenna to pick up voices from far away. One night, he overhears a transmission between Rudy (Jacob Vargas), a drone gunship operator, and his compatriots. His signal is detected, and tracked down to his family's shack in Santa Ana. Live on TV the next day, Rudy carries out a mission to neutralize an "aqua-terrorist intercept". As Memo and family watch on their TV, they soon realize that the target is the antenna on top of their shack. They run back to the shack, only to see it obliterated by a hovering drone gunship. As Memo's father crawls out of the building, Rudy gets confirmation that he is a known "aqua-terrorist", and Rudy fires a rocket at him, blowing him to bits.

Overcome with guilt, and needing to find a way to support what's left of his family, Memo takes the bus to Tijuana, the Mexican "city of the future". On the bus, he meets Luz (Leonor Varela), a freelance writer. He notices that she has "nodes", or data ports, on her arms (as does Rudy). He tells her vague details of his background. Struggling for material to make ends meet, she submits her memory of meeting Memo on the bus to an online memory-trading service. To her surprise, her story of Memo is purchased, and the buyer offers a generous amount for another story on Memo, this time with much more on his background.

Memo goes to a shady alley in Tijuana where "coyoteks" are known to hang out; they offer cheap, black-market installation of "nodes", which allow an individual to go online, which can provide economic opportunities. Memo intends to get nodes and work at Cybracero, a sweatshop virtual labor factory, where workers are connected and operate remote-control robots all over the world -- a form of cheap labor for the developed world. He is mugged by a con man instead.

Partially in order to gain his confidence, and partially because she likes him, Luz installs nodes for Memo. He makes relatively good money working for Cybracero, although the connections are not safe and equipment incidents can lead to serious disabilities. He sends some of his pay back to his family, who are amazed at how much he is making. Meanwhile Luz reports another memory of Memo, but her buyer complains she did not get the background info they asked for.

Luz gets closer to Memo and finds out about the milpa, the Del Rio company, and the death of his father. She relays this memory, and is paid handsomely. Later, Memo visits her and is let into her apartment by a neighbor; there, he sits at her console and discovers she has been selling memories of him. He leaves angrily.

The buyer of Luz's memories turns out to be Rudy, who has been having doubts about the Santa Ana operation. Having discovered the reality behind what happened, he takes time off work to cross the border into Mexico and meet Memo. He tracks down Memo and confesses that he was the drone operator that killed his father, but wants to make amends. Reluctant, Memo eventually accepts his help.

Luz and Memo sneak Rudy into Cybracero after hours, where Rudy connects to his Del Rio security network, taking command of his drone. His coworkers notice him coming on, and ask what's going on, and he tries in vain to deflect their curiosity. Eventually, we see that Rudy is piloting his drone to Santa Ana, and his coworkers, realizing he has gone rogue, give chase and try to shoot his drone down. The star drone operator manages to make it all the way to the Del Rio Water Company dam in Santa Ana, and he unloads his firepower onto it, reminding Memo of the times his father would feebly throw a rock at the concrete edifice. Rudy's drone is taken out, but the dam has been destroyed. On videophone back to his family, Memo's hears that the water is flowing again, and the town is celebrating.

Rudy, who can never go back to America, stays in the village outside Tijuana, selling water. Memo stays as well, but gives up sweatshop node labor for farming.

American Violet (2009) FULL MOVIE DIVX


IMDB RANK = 6.7/10


Description


My stomach started to tense about 1/3 into this movie, and never stopped. I was in the GRIP of this story and social situation which was happening in our country only 8 years ago!! Powerfully acted, produced, edited with a message for all ages. I think this film will help to expose some of the terrible crimes we have been perpetrating in this "democracy".

This film subtly reveals the passivity of ordinary citizens exposed to a tyrannical local government, who keep their heads down and don't make waves. The cost of taking a stand is life-threatening. There are real heroes who realize that it is better to fight and lose against injustice than to submit and be victimized. The movie has an unusual realism while totally engaging us at the same time. I recommend it to all thinking people who care about tolerance and justice.

Every Little Step (2009) FULL MOVIE DIVX


IMDB RANK = 4.5/10


Description



"A Chorus Line," as most everybody knows, is about auditions. "Every Little Step" is a documentary about auditioning for "A Chorus Line" (which is about auditions, see?).

Too clever by half? No, too too good - an absolutely terrific film, which combines Broadway history, closeups of generations of artists, the suspense of many contests for the coveted spots in the cast, the triumph and heartbreak of "what they did for love," an introduction to and/or re-experiencing one of the seminal musicals of our time.

The late Michael Bennett's original production of "A Chorus Line" ran on Broadway for 15 years from 1975 on, was seen by six million people, it won a Pulitzer, nine Tonys, and many other awards. Subsequent productions have circled the globe.

It all started with an all-night session of dancers in 1974, invited by Bennett to talk about their lives. There was an open-reel recorder in the room, and the tape survived to this day. Excerpts from it, text that went right into the show, are heard in "Every Little Step," along with snippets of the original production, public appearances and conversations between Bennett and his colleagues, including the director/choreographer Bob Avian.

Interspersed with scenes from the origins and legacy of the show are the settings of the recent present as Avian and others - including the original "Connie," Baayork Lee, now the choreographer - are auditioning singers and dancers for the 2006 restaging of "A Chorus Line." The camera follows relentlessly the young hopefuls on and off stage, winners and losers alike in breathtaking Cinéma vérité.

In one unforgettable scene, the very young Jason Tam's audition with "Paul's monologue" (about a father's acceptance of his gay son) has all the hardbitten audition judges in tears, amazingly so as they have heard that text constantly for over three decades.

Another scene with "Cassie" dancer Charlotte d'Amboise's father - the great Balanchine star Jacques d'Amboise - is poignant as the aged and crippled dancer speaks glowingly of the power and beauty of ballet.

In the mix of dancers' real life, the show about it, the life and artistry of those auditioning for the roles, everything coheres into an affecting, fascinating, eventually deeply moving whole.

Tyson (2008) FULL MOVIE DIVX


IMDB RANK = 8/10

Description



As the former assistant manager of Mike Tyson I was shocked at the lies and fabrications Mike told in this movie. I was asked to screen this documentary by ESPN which owns the rights to most of the various Tyson fight videos used in the movie. I was more interested in what Mike had to say. The lies he told were: 1. He was always an addict 2. He was always an alcoholic 3. He always had demons 4. Managers Jacobs and Cayton signed him when he was underage 5. Managers Jacobs and Cayton were slave masters It is obvious that Mike's new manager, Harlan Werner, is just as devious as Robin Givens, Don King and Shelly Finkel, the people responsible for Mike going from being the world's most popular athlete (1987 European AP poll) to the bum of the century. In this film Mike completely ignores the period, 1985-1988. when he was a super hero with original managers Bill Cayton and Jim Jacobs. During that time he was the darling of corporate America as evidenced by his being hired to do network TV commercials for Pepsi Cola, Nintendo Video and Kodak Film. Not enough - he was hired by the New York City Police Department, the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Administration to do PSA's. The Police and FBI do not usually hire people to act as role models who are addicts or who have demons. (Please see link below for photos of these campaigns)

In this film Mike, when asked about Robin Givens, simply said he was too young to get married. He must have forgotten that he has already gone on record that she got him to marry him by saying she was pregnant when she never was.

Mike was interviewed by the New York Times before he went to Cannes for the debut of the movie. In the interview he told lie after lie about his life. Here is a link to the article: www.nytimes.com/2008/05/11/movies/11aran.html Here is the link to the letter I wrote to the Times that was printed: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/01/arts/01alsmail-MIKETYSON_LETTERS.html?partner=rssnyt&emc=rss Two years ago, when I first learned that this movie was to be made I warned Tyson's manager Harlen Werner, director James Toback, as well as the producer of the film, Jeffrey Berg, that Mike would lie to protect himself from looking like a buffoon. I gave them specific details of what should be done to bring Mike back into the public eye in a very positive way. These details were: 1. Dump all the bums that surround Mike and replace them with an old friend of Mike's who recently retired from the FBI 2. Get rid of the insane facial tattoo - no questions asked. 3. Have the FBI friend pull some strings to get Mike to Iraq to do exhibitions for the troops for a period of 6 months. Exhibitions to include the opportunity for every man stationed there to get one minute in the ring with Tyson for fun. 4. After six months bring Mike back to the United States and begin doing fund raising exhibitions for Police Departments and Fire Departments. Mike's manager Harlen Werner ignored me completely. The reason - none of my suggestions would put money in Werner's pocket. And that is his only objective. My entire correspondence with Werner, director James Toback, the film's producers, as well as documents and photos proving Mike's huge hero status with Cayton and Jacobs may be found at this website: http://www.cyberboxingzone.com/news/archives/00004333.htm Steve Lott Mike Tyson Assistant Manager 1985-1988

Adventureland (2009) FULL MOVIE DIVX


IMDB RANK = 8.0

Description



Arriving with what prove to be outsized expectations for raucous humor on the basis of "Superbad," Greg Mottola's "Adventureland" unspools as a rather ordinary account of youthful summer misadventures that goes down easily thanks to a sparkly cast, more than 40 pop tunes that anchor the action in the late '80s and characters who get high both on and off their jobs at a tacky amusement park. Thanks especially to the presence of leading lady Kristen Stewart in a role she filmed prior to "Twlight," the pic should spin good returns for Miramax on its March 27 release.

Based on the experiences he had working at a Long Island amusement, Mottola cooks up a passable amount of mischief to occupy the late- teen/early-20s misfits who work as ride and game operators at Pittsburgh's Adventureland in the summer of '87. Writer-director's evident stand-in is James Brennan (Jesse Eisenberg of "The Squid and the Whale"), who's forced to take any summer job he can get when his European trip is dashed and his autumn date with grad school at Columbia is jeopardized by his alcoholic father's fall from grace at work.

For a Reagan-era pothead, James is a terribly serious, woefully earnest guy who offers up his SAT scores when applying for low-end summer positions. He also somehow has emerged from college still a virgin, but his saving grace as far as his Adventureland cohorts are concerned is that he's always has some weed. This makes the days go by easier, and also fuels the night, which the gawky James surprises himself by chastely spending with the alluring but massively screwed up Em (Kristen Stewart), who works at the park only as a way or getting away from her father and unbearable new stepmother.

What James doesn't know is that Em is having a clandestine affair with older local musician and handyman Mike Connell (Ryan Reynolds), to whom James sometimes confesses his amorous feelings for Em. Adding further to the equation is a flirty cupcake Lisa P. (Margarita Levieva), a known virgin-for-life who nonetheless encourages James' attentions.

The set-up provides plenty of opportunity for crude humor, Mottola indulges with abundant involving puking, groin pinches, drunk and stoned behavior, and lax work habits. But his real interest is the navigation of dubious emotional and ethical straits by immature characters who make serious mistakes while trying to feel their way out of their unhappiness.

The filmmakers' investment in James' sudden loss of a safety net, Em's justifiable distress at home, and brainy stoner Joel's (Martin Starr) fury over a one-time date's anti-Semitism is genuine as far as it goes, but little that happens here is particularly surprising, especially the occurrence of some virginity divestment at the end.

Rather off-putting at first with his furrowed-brow attitude, Eisenberg's James becomes increasingly palatable as the summer progresses. Stewart impresses again with her steady, clear-eyed gaze and sense of self. Nice comic turns are put in by Starr as the Gogol-reading outcast and Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig as the goofball but dedicated park owners.
