Ponderings For 2008-03-27
I meant to continue my run of movie reviews, but my posting to the blog got back-burnered when things at work this week went completely off the rails. I’ll resume postings here now that things are under control. I may not have particularly loved Be …

Vantage Point (7/10)
An action movie with a very cool approach, a fantastic cast, and a script that redefines the word “mess.” Writing: Barry Levy gets his first credited writing gig for this movie. Either he’s a hack writer that should be booted from the industry immediately, or …
-
Jumper (7/10)
While this may be the weakest movie that Doug Liman has directed, it’s still decent enough entertainment. Since there’s rumor of an announced sequel, perhaps they’ll flesh things about a bit better at that point. Writing: With a respectable trio of writers on the project, …

The Eye (7/10)
A somewhat flawed horror thriller, which I enjoyed none-the-less. Writing: This script is a mix of tired horror staples and unique ideas. Some of it feels just like what it is, a beat-to-death Japanese horror genre remake (yes, ANOTHER one), and some of it doesn’t. Even some …

Untraceable (8/10)
A surprisingly good crime thriller. And get this – it’s one of those incredibly rare movies with fairly accurate portrayals of computers. Writing: A good crime drama needs an original hook of some kind to build the story around, and this script comes up a …

Rambo (9/10)
An unexpectedly excellent closing chapter to this venerable franchise. While the body count is high, this fourth film favors the gritty reality of the first (First Blood) than the super-human feats of the second and third. Writing: You know, back when another Rocky movie was …
-
One Missed Call (4/10)
A barely adequate mix of a great many genre horror films that have come before it. Writing: Perhaps it’s just the fact that there have been so many remakes of the overpopulated Japanese horror genre, that nobody fairly judges these films on their own merits …

Ponderings For 2008-03-20
For those living under the so-called rock, Arthur Clarke, the legendary sci-fi writer, has passed away at 90. Famous not only for books like 2001: A Space Odyssey and the Rama series, he’s widely regarded for scientific notions, such as the origin of the idea …

Ponderings For 2008-03-15
Woo hoo! “Doctor Horrible’s Sing-A-Long Blog” will actually exist. For those not in the know, this is a made-for-the-internet series of 3 ten minute musicals made by Joss Whedon, starring none-other-than Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day. Can’t wait. Now this is WAY …
