TGITDNMAR (7/20/07) 2007-07-20 10:05:00 It's that time again for TGITDNMAR, which (obviously) stands for Thank God It's The Day New Movies Are Released. Let's get down to business...I Now Pronounce You Chuck and LarryWith all the animosity that surrounds Michael Bay, you'd think director Dennis Dugan would get his fair share. I suppose it has to do with their relative "popularity" (ticket sales). However, a look at his filmography has to make you wonder how he still works. The only funny things I see on there are Happy Gilmore and Big Daddy, and even those are hardly recognized as cinematic masterpieces. The rest? Garbage - the lot of it. Beverly Hills Ninja, Saving Silverman, National Security, The Benchwarmers? This man deserves some spite, too. Then again - Chuck and Larry is improbably co-written by Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor, whose resume is pretty well respected (Sideways, Election).Fletch's Chance of Viewing (in the theater): 53%HairsprayYou've got to be kidding me.Fletch's Chance of Viewing: 0%SunshineYes,
Thursday's Things To Click On 2007-07-19 10:47:00 To paraphrase an album cover from those Irish pixies of the 90s (The Cranberries), I must ask: everybody else is doing it, so why can't I?It's true - a links post is highly unoriginal. Then again, that never stopped anyone else from doing it, either. I'm sure I can live with that knowledge.

Fletch's Film Review: You Kill Me 2007-07-18 11:10:00 It's really a privilege to be able to watch Ben Kingsley in action. Now, I know that sounds like some rabid gushing, but it's not quite. Instead, Kingsley could be likened to a Christopher Walken, who (aside from also being a pretty talented guy, despite his inability to say no to anything) is a good actor, but is even more of an onscreen presence. Good luck explaining the appeal of Walken (should the topic come up) to your grandkids. He's hilarious and captivating and a train wreck all at the same time - and is otherwise incapable of being labeled.Kingsley, meanwhile, has more serious acting chops, but is just as hard to pin down. He literally commands your attention when he's on the screen, even in a quiet role like the one he plays in You Kill Me, the latest from director John Dahl (Rounders, The Last Seduction). Despite being a somewhat slight man (5'8" and trim as can be for a 63-year old), he's larger than life, as evidenced by his commanding, twisted role in Sexy Beast.In Read more:Fletch

Mid-term Report Card 2007-07-16 15:04:00 Summer movie season is nearly (but not quite) over. With the release of the last big mega-movie (Harry Potter) coming last week, I thought this would be a good time to look back on my box office predictions from May. Sure, there are still some possible hits and sleepers left (The Bourne Ultimatum, Superbad, The Simpsons Movie), there's pretty much no chance in hell that any movie yet to be released will be cracking the top five of 2007.Though I won't be confused with Nostradamus anytime soon, I did manage to get a few things right here and there. Let's do some reflecting. Below are my top 10, followed by their predicted gross and the expected final gross, and comments, and a grade:1. Shrek the ThirdPrediction: $280MExpected Final Gross: $320MComment: Shrek will end up as number four overall, though I wasn't terribly off in terms of dollars.Grade: B2.

TGITDNMAR (7/13/07) 2007-07-13 10:50:00 It's that time again for TGITDNMAR, which (obviously) stands for Thank God It's The Day New Movies Are Released. These mid-week releases are really wreaking havoc on this feature, as, once again, I've already seen (and written a review for) the highest profile film released. Nonetheless, I will trudge on despite the obstacles being thrown at me (if this were a movie, the captain would have just turned on the "Oscar Speech" sign).Harry Potter and the Order of the PhoenixTypically, series that have a fifth entry are either Bond movies or of the horror ilk, and have had the gas run out of them two (or twenty) sequels ago. Harry Potter, however, is a different bird somehow - one in which the number in the title (if there were a number, that is) makes little to no difference in the quality of the film at hand. One thing that helps is that we all know that there is an end in sight (coming to theaters in 2010) and I suppose it also helps that J.K. Rowling has put some pretty good source ma
Fletch's Film Review: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix 2007-07-12 10:19:00 I'm feeling conflicted, really. See, I have this certain opinion, yet I disagree with myself. Unfair as it may be, I'm sticking with my opinion, in spite of the fact that I think it's wrong in this case. Let me explain.About every other year, a good-great comedy or action movie comes along and around Oscar time, we wonder first of all, if said film will be nominated for Best Picture, and if so, does it have a chance in hell of winning. Outside of the win by Lord of the Rings: Return of the King a few years back, said film typically doesn't have a chance in hell of winning (and even the Return of the King win felt more like a comprehensive win for the series rather for being recognized itself as a tremendous movie.Why does this happen? Why are comedies and action/adventurers not taken as seriously or appreciated by cineasts as much as your run-of-the-mill drama?I don't know - and generally speaking, I'm guilty of it, too.

Fletch's Favored Five: Renaissance Films 2007-07-11 10:50:00 I figure its high time I class up this joint, and what better way to do so than to honor some films that have gone beyond their appreciation of film stock and enriched our lives with that more respected medium - painting. Keep in mind, I'm no art expert, and I don't know much, but I know what I like...While recently re-watching The Royal Tenenbaums, I was able to fall in love again with the Miguel Calderon painting to your right (and its complement - not shown) that is prominent in one of my favorite scenes. I'd rather not spoil it, so if you haven't seen the film - shame on you, first of all, as it's one of the best of the last 15 years - do so immediately and pay particular attention to a scene between Luke and Owen Wilson that takes place in Owen's characters' apartment.Some other objects of my affection:Much as I'm busying classing up the joint, John Hughes did so some twenty years ago with Ferris Buehler's Day Off.

Fletch's Film Review: Sicko 2007-07-11 10:05:00 I'm happy to report that I was wrong. With both his curveball and fastball still intact, Michael Moore's Sicko
is no different in tone than any of his previous efforts. Alternately informative and infuriating, Moore still finds plenty of time for his sardonic wit to shine through.Through possibly an easy task, those that spend their time picking holes in Moore's arguments and/or railing him for his stunts (he attempts to take a group of folks to Guantanamo Bay for treatment, for example) are wasting their time and missing the point. Slanted as Moore may be, and however uninformed he may be in regards to the health care systems in place in Canada, France, et al, Moore's heart and head are squarely in the right place at all times. He sees a (big) problem with the US health care system and is looking at countries that maybe, just possibly, have a better system.Amongst my few complaints with Sicko is Moore's inability to let the past go. Despite my feelings for Bush and his administra Read more:Fletch

Some of my favorite "characters" 2007-07-10 09:56:00 Steve Buscemi. John Turturro. Eric Stolz. J.T. Walsh. Paul Giamatti. R. Lee Ermey. Samuel L. Jackson.What do these men have in common? Aside from large filmographies, all were known once upon a time as "character actors." The best of them, some would say. Early in their film careers, they were not stars - until the indie scene took off in the mid-nineties, you could argue that none would have ever had the chance at starring in a film. However, as time went on and their profiles grew, they went from being "that guy" that you recognize from 10 other films to quasi-household names (or even more, in the cases of Jackson and Giamatti). Sadly, J.T. Walsh died too young, and Ermey has always been typecast (and rightfully so); but the rest got their due.So just for the hell of it, I'd like to list some of my current favorite "that guys" or character actors or whatever you want to call them. Some are familiar faces, some are familiar names, but chances are you've seen all of them at one time
Fletch's Film Review: Live Free or Die Hard 2007-07-08 21:43:00 Apparently, the critics and movie audiences of the world have lowered their standards. Considerably. To think that Live Free
or Die Hard is currently rated at an 8.1/10 on IMDb, or that the film regularly scores four out of five stars is all a bit disconcerting. Because, really, there isn't all that much to crow about.I guess, in some respects, I can understand it. After all, this is the fourth in the series, and number fours aren't typically very representative of the overall quality of a franchise. The laundry list of fatal fours is long and undistinguished: Batman & Robin, Lethal Weapon 4, The Phantom Menace. Not a decent film amongst them. So, in comparison, Live Free looks like a masterpiece.For a mindless summer popcorn flick, it's pretty effective - just be sure to remember the "no mind" portion. With almost nonstop action (it starts within 12 minutes or so of the opening credits and continues throughout), the movie certainly fulfills its requirement as an adrenaline- Read more:Fletch

TGITDNMAR (7/6/07) 2007-07-06 10:03:00 It's that time again for TGITDNMAR, which (obviously) stands for Thank God It's The Day New Movies Are Released. Unfortunately, due to the holiday, we're just going to have to pretend that today is Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday all rolled into one, as one of the films below was released on each of those days. But none of us wants to see the title for this feature listed as Thank God It's The Day New Movies Are Released, As Well As A Couple Of Other Days From Earlier In The Week.

Sure, the man is already an icon amongst most people (okay, males) between the ages of 25-35 for the simple fact that he is the voice of Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots and star of the show.

Fletch's Film Review: A Mighty Heart 2007-07-05 15:29:00 How do you make an entertaining film about someone's death? Even more so, how do you do said task when all members of the audience know that the death is coming? Separate from those two questions, why is said film released in summer, at the height of blockbuster movie season?While director Michael Winterbottom (Code 46) is left to deal with the first two questions, the last one must be saved for the studio that released A MightyHeart
(Paramount Vintage).Try as he might, Winterbottom succeeds in making a film that, while painful to watch (due to subject matter) at many times, is still capable of some light humor and tense drama. The story of the death of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, told through the eyes of his loved ones and pursuers at and after the time of his abduction in Pakistan is not an easy story to tell, to be sure. However, if any director was up to the task, it is Winterbottom, whose multi-culti style of filmmaking and feel for moods is a perfect way to take Read more:Fletch

Songs that must be retired from movie soundtracks 2007-07-03 09:24:00 I need your assistance, as my memory is only so good and all of the internets are only so much help here. Perhaps this post will help other geeks in the future.See, while I was sitting in the theater the other night waiting for the feature to begin, I was subjected yet again to the Fine Young Cannibals' 1989 smash hit "She Drives Me Crazy" playing in the trailer for the upcoming The Nanny Diaries. IMDb lists just three other high profile soundtrack appearances for the song (Hitch, The Other Sister, and Gross Anatomy), but I'm pretty sure that trailer appearances alone don't count towards that total (in case you're wondering, "Good Thing" has two such entries, and I'm not counting TV entries of foreign films). In fact, I'm going to go on the safe side and just multiply any IMDb soundtrack search total by 5 to completely unscientifically and woefully inaccurately calculate a songs' "trailer rating."Outside of the Cannibals, I know that there metric tons of these songs that get ove Read more:movie
Fletch's Film Review: Ratatouille 2007-07-02 09:51:00 Though I unfortunately can't find a link to properly give credit, Gregg Easterbrook, a writer who files a weekly column for ESPN.com during the football season, once wrote of a paradox that affects video games (he was referring to the Madden series at the time, though it can be applied universally). To sum up, the article said that as technology gets better and the graphics, interface and speed get exponentially better for video games, the flaws become all the more apparent to the avid user. When Pitfall was being played on your Atari in 1984 (or whenever), you weren't complaining that the crocodiles looked "totally fake" or how Pitfall Harry was only comprised of 14 pixels. No, because compared to Pong or Pac-Man, it was revolutionary! It was brilliant!As time went by, however, and the next new thing came along (say, Tecmo Bowl or The Legend of Zelda), the cracks in Pitfall Harry's face started to show. Skip ahead a few generations and the flaws of the past start to get ignored, wh Read more:Fletch

The outlook for this week is much better than the last two, as some high-profile movies hits the screens. Next week: Transformers...RatatouilleDirector Brad Bird may have a good resume (The Iron Giant, The Incredibles), and the reviews are great so far, but I just don't know if I can get into a movie about a French rat that cooks, especially one that is voiced by Patton Oswalt.

Seven People to Avoid at the Movie Theater 2007-06-25 12:10:00 Aside from giving movie reviews and opining on the random topic of the day, I'm here to provide a service to you the reader. As a rampant moviegoer, I must (obviously) enjoy the experience of going to the movies. That said, there are people (or groups of people) that serve as potential minefields to your experience. They are there to irritate you, frustrate you, pester you - whatever it takes to show you that they are passively-aggressively more important than you. So watch out for them...* Hearing-aid CoupleBlog Cabins would never prejudge all senior citizens who attend the theater (at a discount, mind you). After all, many seniors have great hearing and are typically amongst the quietest in the building. Unfortunately, it only takes one half of a hearing-impaired couple for them both to drive you nuts.

If you thought last week was a bad week, it doesn't get all that much better this week.Let's see what's hitting the theaters today:Evan AlmightyCan you feel it in the air? I can - in fact, I can almost hear it. That's right - let the Steve Carell backlash begin!Actually, I don't begrudge Carell for taking this role - after all, to go form supporting player to star of a "franchise" in a few years (and to see his salary probably multiply by about 20) is bound to be an ego boosting event. And he has been on a roll.That said, it stops here. By all accounts, this looks like a boring (PG rating won't help), preachy, unfunny kids movie that just happen to cost a fortune to make.Fletch's Chance of Viewing (in the theater): 5%1408This has gotten pretty good reviews thus far, which bodes well.

Fletch's Film Review: Paris, je t'aime 2007-06-22 00:05:00 I can hear the naysayers already."Paris
?? You better be talkin' 'bout Paris, Texas, cause I hate the French.""Love stories? I'm not into "love story" movies. Thanks, anyway.""A movie set in Paris about love stories? Hell no! And I hate subtitles."Well, your loss, if that's your thinking. Paris, je t'aime is easily one of the best movies of the year. With good reason, too - after all, this anthology of 18 short films, each set in one of Paris' arrondissements, counts some of the best actors and directors in the business amongst its participants. This is a demonstration in what movies are (or should be) all about - a range of emotions, terrific acting, a wide array of styles, good stories - it's got it all.To avoid this turning into a book (which it might end up being anyway, but stay with me here), I won't give a complete rundown of all 18, but here are some notes for each, given in the order they appear onscreen, with the title and director noted (with help from Wikipedia):* Mo Read more:Fletch

Fletch's Film Review: Surf's Up 2007-06-21 09:54:00 If you read TGITDNMAR a couple weeks back, you saw that my chance of seeing Surf's Up in the theater was listed at 50%. However, Mrs. Fletch
commented that hers was 80%. Well, average that out, and throw in a crappy week of new releases last Friday and that translates to us in the theater watching a surfing penguin movie.Let me tell you - if you see only one surfing penguin movie this year, make it this one. Surf's Up is an entertaining movie, with (as predicted) a bit of sentimentality, but more so, it's packed with great performances by its voice over actors, a soundtrack that doesn't rely on 60s surf tunes or established, overused pop hits (a few songs heard prominently are Green Day's "Holiday" and "Welcome to Paradise," and "Get What You Give," by the New Radicals), and a great mockumentary style that sets it apart from the rest of the animated "kids" movies out there.Much-seen-lately Shia LaBeouf stars as Cody Maverick, a runt of a flightless bird who lost his father young ( Read more:Film Review
Fletch's Favored Five: Sin City Flicks 2007-06-19 10:05:00 And by that I mean movies that are set in or feature scenes in Las Vegas, not overrated adaptations of Frank Miller's work that star Mickey Rourke.After all, who doesn't love Vegas? Much like movies with bowling scenes (covered here), films that showcase Vegas in one way or another just add a certain zest and flavor that Sacramento just can't offer, much less Atlantic City (sorry, Rounders). With so many to choose from, it's damn near impossible to pick my favorites. So first, some honorable mentions:The GodfatherThe fact is, I haven't seen this in a long time and barely (if at all) recall any scenes that were filmed in Vegas. However, when doing research for this post, I saw The Godfather as one of the films associated with Las Vegas - as such, I knew omitting it from this list altogether would get me on some hated lists that I don't want to be on.

Fletch's Film Review: Bug 2007-06-18 09:51:00 In general, I don't like movies adapted from plays or that feel like plays - they smack of low-budget desperation and a lack of creativity. If I want to see a play, I'll do just that. Its the same reason I don't want there to be explosions, credits or trailers at the local playhouse - genres should know what they are. Just look at the vast majority of music videos - the people involved should just stick to making music and leave the film out of it. Unless there names are Michel Gondry or David Fincher.But I digress (wildly).Anyway - play movies. A search for "based on play" on IMDb (here) returns over 10,000 matches, and it seems like about 9,000 of them are based on works of Shakespeare. Unfortunately, most movies based on Shakespearean works suck, with Much Ado About Nothing being one of the few exceptions. Watching Kenneth Branaugh act out Hamlet for four hours just doesn't sound like that good of a time to me. But maybe I'm just not cultured enough. As a "Gen X-er," I was supp Read more:Fletch

TGITDNMAR* (6/15/07) 2007-06-15 08:48:00 If every week's new releases looked like the crop coming out today, no one would ever go to the theaters. Truly shocking, considering that this is one of the prime weeks - mid-June, all the kids are out of school, and with Ocean's being the big release last week and Evan Almighty being the biggest release next, the next mega-film doesn't come out for three weeks (Transformers)!

Pro & Con - the Star Wars prequels 2007-07-25 10:00:00 For whatever reason, I own all of the Star Wars prequels on DVD. Additionally, I turn into a paraplegic whenever one of them pops up on HBO, as I find myself unable to change the channel.Why this is, I don't know. The fact of the matter is, I don't particularly like any of the movies, and most of the time, I detest them. In an effort to be timely and current with the pop culture trends of the day, I thought maybe if I balanced out the pros and cons in my head (read: here), then maybe I would be able to make up my mind on them once and for all (not likely). Let's go in order:Episode I: The Phantom MenacePro: Darth Maul. One of the better characters from all six movies. He has everything a 13-year old boy (or a 30-year old man) wants from his movie villains. He talks with a raspy voice (albeit, a dubbed one), has horns on his head, and is painted black and red. Oh, and the double-sided lightsaber doesn't hurt, either.Con: The death of Darth Maul. What a waste of one of the better cha
Fletch's Film Review: Transformers 2007-07-24 10:10:00 Well, I've put this off long enough to the point of irrelevance, but I figured I ought to at least post a short take with my thoughts on Transformers
.It's funny, really. For all the crap Michael Bay takes, he is generally regarded as a good "action director," experienced with big set pieces and complex action with a lot going on, be it gunfire or explosions or - most often - both. However, the big action sequences in Tranformers, expensive-looking as they may be, are probably the worst thing about the movie.Most of the problem lies with the 'bots themselves. With this modern take on the 80s cartoon focused on a bit of realism when it comes to the origins and capabilities of the alien robots, the end result is a semi truck that, when transforming from upright form to truck form, seems to be made of a billion parts. The same could be said for any of the other robots. Now take that complexity and throw it into fight scenes between two or more hunks of metal that change shapes seemingly Read more:Fletch

I'm sure the role of rap mogul was one that required years of research and preparation. In other news, the board president is played by Jeffrey Jones. Whither Ed Rooney? For the folks out there into female ogling, Wild Things 2/The In Crowd star Susan Ward plays Jones' wife.
