  • McHale's Navy 1997

    ½ Watched 22 Jan, 2012

    Loaded with b-list talent, who have all been fantastic with the right material. This is not the right material.

  • Stargate: The Ark of Truth 2008

    ½ Watched 21 Jan, 2012

    Is this supposed to be a movie? DTV drivel that will not make a jot of sense unless you have watched a large chunk of the TV series. At least the MAN FROM UNCLE cinema releases made stand alone sense and packed a bit more spice than the episodes that spawned them.

  • Project A 1983

    ★★★★½ Watched 20 Jan, 2012

    The three dragons (Jackie, Samo, Yuen) finally got together and made a movie that instantly dated everything that came before. This is where the JC style of using whatever comes to hand while everyone is fighting at the same time style of messy kung fu action got started. This set the standard for the genre.

  • JFK 1991

    ★★★★ Watched 19 Jan, 2012

    The good, Stone sure knows how to edit a disparate montage of characters, stories, sound textures, film stocks, ideas and still have it hold together. The bad, you will be infuriated by either the conspiracy myth that is being built here, or by the evidence released by senate committee as a result of this movie that backs up connections between Oswald and the CIA.
