Crank 2 High Voltage Movie Review

Directed by: Mark Neveldine,Brian TaylorProduced by : Michael Paseornek,Tom Rosenberg,Gary Lucchesi,Skip Williamson,Richard Wright,David RubinWritten by: Mark Neveldine,Brian TaylorStarring Jason Statham,Amy SmartMusic by: Mike PattonCinematography: Brandon TrostDistributed by: International:Lakeshore Entertainment,North America:Lionsgate FilmsRelease date(s): April 17, 2009Running time: 96 min.Country: United StatesLanguage: EnglishBudget: $12,500,000 USD For those of you who've seen "Crank", the so called "action packed thriller" and enjoyed it, good for you and I'm sorry. I'm glad that you enjoyed it, but sorry that you didn't watch a better one because in my opinion, "Crank" made much sense in terms of having a storyline then a babies Pampers having the sense of staying dry 24 hours after being used on a newborn. "Crank" is an action packed movie all right and it does have the thrills and chills of an action movie, but I couldn't find the storyline/plot anywhere because nothing made sense (in fact I'm still looking for it even after having read the 20 or so words on the back of the DVD box). Apparently "Crank" is about a man who is dying and is trying to find the culprits who were trying to do him in. He buys some crack from the black market and sniffs it until he feels better (sure, when you gotta go, you might as well live it up I guess). He even goes into the drug store and swipes several boxes of nose spray because a customer tells him it has some kind of chemical that'll make him feel better (I didn't and I had to go run to the toilet to make myself feel better after sitting hrough another piece of "cinematic brilliance--NOT!"). The acting suffice as to say was pretty good despite what the cast of "Crank" had to deal with it. The direction was pathetic because all the twists and turns were hard to swallow and follow and they were harder to swallow then a pretzel with a Molson Canadian (ouch, now that's pretty hard). The cinematography was okay and the pace was pretty consistent (faster then Speedy Gonzales and "Angulay! Angulay!). If you like action packed movies that doesn't have much of a plot (Those Die Hard movies at least had somewhat of a plot to it) then by all means see this movie, but let me try and save you some time when I say, hey, the weather's getting warmer; so why don't you go outside and enjoy it rather then watch this disappointment. "Crank" left me feeling "cranky" after viewing it and rightly so (pun intended). Also don't get the soundtrack because the consistency with the music was apalling (like mixing opera with heavy metal--PEW!!). Movie Stills | Movie Previews

I Love You, Man movie review

Directed by: John HamburgProduced by :John Hamburg,John Hamburg Ivan Reitman,Donald De Line,Tom Pollock,Jeff Clifford,Bill Johnson Written by : John HamburgStarring Paul Rudd,Jason Segel,Rashida Jones,J. K. Simmons,Jaime Pressly,Andy Samberg Music by: Theodore ShapiroCinematography: Lawrence SherEditing by: William KerrDistributed by: DreamWorksRelease date(s): March 20, 2009 (US), April 17, 2009 (UK)Country: United StatesLanguage: English In I Love You, Man, which is by far the best Judd Apatow comedy that Judd Apatow had nothing at all to do with, Paul Rudd gives a startlingly funny and original performance as a nice guy with serious dweebish tendencies, and the delight of what Rudd does here comes down to how exquisitely embarrassing he is to watch. He makes you wince in hilarity. Rudd, in films like Role Models and Wet Hot American Summer, has been a wiseass par excellence, and maybe it took a wiseass to play a dork with this much merciless understanding. His Peter Klaven is an L.A. real estate agent (he's selling Lou Ferrigno's mansion) who has just gotten engaged, an event that forces him to confront the fact that he has no male friends. Who will be his groomsmen? His best man? That sounds like a fairly mild predicament to hang a movie on, but the resonant joke of I Love You, Man is that the reason Peter has no pals is that he's too sweetly sincere, too in touch with his sensitive side, to indulge in 
the gloriously insensitive modes of male bonding: the reckless sex chatter and sports talk, the need to be a guy, a dude. Peter meets Sydney (Jason Segel), who seems like natural buddy material, and the two begin to hang out. But the more Peter tries to get down with his masculine self, the more our jaws drop at how bad he is at it. He does agonizingly out-of-date SNL routines as if they signified he was ''in the know,'' he says things like ''me slappa da bass'' in a ''reggae'' accent, and when his new friend nicknames him Pistol, he names him back — and sounds like a complete idiot jackass. Rudd shows us the awful eagerness to please that drives Peter's strenuous attempt to fit in. He's as mesmerizingly pathetic as Austin Powers, only Peter is a dork you can believe in. The more your face turns red for him, the more you root for him. That's what makes Paul Rudd a star. I Love You, Man is a guy-meets-guy ''romantic'' comedy, and it's part of the film's merry topical wink at how men have been changed by girl-power culture that Peter has no trouble relating to women, but to relate to men he must first figure out how to be one. And he does: by jamming with Sydney to songs by Rush (who they think is the best band in history—talk about masculine delusions!). I Love You, Man is on the side of all things rude, raunchy, and guyish, but only because it recognizes that the freedom to be a lout is a pillar of our civilization. And that more than ever, it's a freedom you have to earn Movie Stills | Movie Previews

Crossing Over movie review

Directed by: Wayne KramerProduced by : Kathleen Kennedy,Frank MarshallWritten by: Wayne KramerStarring Harrison Ford,Jim Sturgess,Ray Liotta,Tammin Sursok,Ashley Judd,Alice Eve,Summer Bishil,Cliff Curtis,Merik TadrosMusic by: Brian RossCinematography: James WhitakerDistributed by: The Weinstein CompanyRelease date(s): February 13, 2009Running time: February 27, 2009 (limited)Country: United StatesLanguage: English The best we can say is that writer-director Wayne Kramer means well with "Crossing Over" — he means to put a human face on the unwieldy and divisive topic of illegal immigration. Trouble is, he puts a lot of faces on it. Too many, actually; we rarely get a feeling for who Kramer's many characters really are. And the way he weaves their stories together is so heavy-handed, absurdly contrived and, sometimes, unintentionally hilarious that he repeatedly undermines his intentions. His tone shifts uncomfortably from earnest to didactic to incendiary and back again as he tells the tales of various immigrants trying to forge new lives in Los Angeles, as well as the federal employees who may determine their fates. Comparisons to "Crash" are inevitable, especially given Kramer's fondness for overhead shots of the city's sprawling freeways. (Ooh, we're all so different and disconnected, yet we share the same space!) There's also a literal car crash that sets off one of the movie's subplots. But while some critics may have viewed that best-picture winner as overrated, "Crossing Over" plays like a watered-down copycat. Among the ensemble cast, Harrison Ford stars as veteran Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Max Brogan. The main thing we know about him is that he's burned out, which Ford conveys with his typical curmudgeonly understatement. He also has a 27-year-old daughter from whom he's estranged, which is mentioned once and then dropped. Max and his Iranian-born partner, Hamid (Cliff Curtis), are raiding a sweat shop at the film's start, where they arrest Mexican worker Mireya (Alice Braga), who's here illegally with her young son. Hamid's father, a wealthy businessman who fled Iran in the 1979 revolution, is about to become a naturalized citizen himself. There's also British musician Gavin (Jim Sturgess), who pretends to observe his long-neglected Jewish faith for admission to the country, which leads to an amusing scene in which he stumbles his way through a Hebrew prayer in front of a rabbi. Gavin's Australian girlfriend, Claire (Alice Eve), has her own dreams of stardom: She wants to be the next Nicole Kidman or Naomi Watts and will do whatever it takes to get there. This brings us the freakiest story line, in which Claire agrees to have sex in seedy motels with paunchy bureaucrat Cole (Ray Liotta), who will arrange a green card for her in return. Oddly compelling, but it feels like it belongs in a different movie. A subplot involving Bangladeshi teenager Taslima (Summer Bishil), who writes an essay about trying to understand the mind-set of the 9/11 attackers, probably aimed to offer thoughtful discourse on an emotional subject but instead comes out as noise. Bishil, the poised young star of "Towelhead," has some strong moments here, too, though. But then Ashley Judd barely gets anything to do as the immigration attorney who defends Taslima (she also happens to be Cole's wife), and a subplot about a Korean teenager (Justin Chon) who's forced into crime as a gang initiation feels like an inferior version of "Gran Torino." Oh, and his dad happens to be Max's dry cleaner. What are the odds? "Crossing Over," a Weinstein Co. release, is rated R for pervasive language, some strong violence and sexuality/nudity. Running time: 113 minutes. One and a half stars out of four. Movie Stills | Movie Previews
