Chuck Norris probably supports the Suicide Squad.

Confucius

No idea how accurate this film is in regards to the actual life of the famous sage, but I enjoyed it. Jet Li puts in a fine performance and portrays Confucius as quite the fellow.

Leviathan (1989)



An oceanic creature flick that takes cues from such films as The Abyss and the Alien series, only with a bit of a B-movie feel.

The ending of Leviathan is one of the most ridiculous endings I've ever seen.

hah. It did seem like they did all the heavy lifting earlier in the movie and just slopped a few ideas together for the ending.

Spoiler for spoiler:
The sharks were completely pointless, other than to set up the Jones character with the one liner "Now I'm really having a bad day." (he said something like that).

That entire movie was ridiculous. But ya, the ending tacked it on for sure. Was nice seeing the ultra blue eyed bitch getting KO'd though.

Now watching the UFO (1970) TV series. The British sci-fi series takes place in the distant future of 1980 where the super-secret international S.H.A.D.O. organization has set up a base on the moon fully-staffed with purple-haired scantily-clad women and men in mesh tops and aluminum foil uniforms to fight extraterrestrial body-snatchers from beyond Pluto!

Complete with cardboard computers, Barbarella extras, and a 70s bachelor pad jazz soundtrack, U.F.O. (actually pronounced "eww-fo") is hilariously fun half-forgotten sci-fi ripe for the riffing.

Spoiler for Click here for ridiculous.:

Basically the same sh*t as Taken but this time Ed Harris is the bad guy.

I actually enjoyed this film but it's not very original. the only memorable lines in the film were by Ed Harris, Liam did very little for his role and the actor who played his son was atrocious.

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

Haven’t we seen this movie like ten times in the last couple years? Coming of age film about a couple high school kids and, *gasp*, one of them has cancer and is dying. Honestly, I didn’t care that the film was about this kind of subject matter. What I care about is can the film take such a common theme and do something different. I wanted an emotional punch but I wanted the hit to come from a different angle instead of dangling it in front of me and then predictably going right for the gut. I first heard about the film when it won the Jury Grand Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. I’ve pretty much loved every single jury prize winner so that alone was enough to get me to watch this. I’ve been busy as hell since the beginning of the summer, so I finally got a chance to sit down and give this a view and I’ll be damned if the movie didn’t deliver a blowout blind shot that I didn’t see coming.

The film started out pretty standard. High school kids with more wit than a Monty Python sketch going to a high school that would never exist in this country…ever. If I had any problems with the film it was the few details such as this that irked me a bit. The high school was too surreal and played up. It really seemed like a high school out of a novel instead of a realistic depiction of what those years are like for kids. The overall tone of the film however did not come off fake and forced. This is mostly due to the stellar acting from the three leads, especially Mann and Cook. Olivia Cook played a dying girl better than anybody who has tried in Hollywood over the last decade and the emotional punches came from scenes that she was in. That isn’t to say that Mann didn’t deliver either. The scene where he talks about his regrets was especially moving and wonderfully well acted. RJ Cyler is a natural and the cameo parents and teachers were an added bonus. You really can’t go wrong making Nick Offerman your weird dad.

The direction and cinematography was top notch as well. Director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon isn’t really a well known name but I can see him being an indie favorite for a long time after this. He had help. The biggest surprise on the credits went to seeing Chung-hoon Chung as the films DP. Best known for filming pretty much everything Park Chan Wook has done, his presence was felt throughout the film with these unique filming angles that call back to films such as Oldboy and Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance.

The score of the film was also fantastic. The film took a rollercoaster right to the heart in the last 20 minutes of the movie and two pivotal scenes were punctuated by excellent song choices in “Remember Me as the Time of Day” by Explosions in the Sky and “The Big Ship” by Brian Eno. Both songs are filled with emotion and they just drove the power and emotion of the two scenes right home. It’s honestly a big reason why the film is sticking with me so much. It kind of reminds me of the end of I, Origins where music and cinematography can just send a film over the top for me. That, and the cast has to hit it out of the park, which they certainly did in this film.

There you have it. Sundance has spoken again. As mentioned before, the only real negatives of the film was some of the unrealistic and over inflated depictions of high school and some definite “I only wrote this to be unique” style dialogue. It didn’t distract though. I loved the film.

4.5/5
