NEW RELEASES:
Dear John (Kept Checking My Watch)
Dear Young Women of America: If you were into The Notebook, you’ll probably want to see Dear John. And the film’s creators will do everything they can to manipulate you into liking it... John is on leave from the U.S. Army Special Forces visiting his father in South Carolina. He’s a big heroic lunk – a good boy now but there are hints that he used to be a bad boy. He also spends a lot of time shirtless. Savannah is an unbelievably good girl. She’s a wide-eyed blonde all the boys like. She thinks she has a bad girl streak because she swears – in her head! Her ambition: to someday open a ranch where autistic kids can play with horses (Wow, that’s unbelievably word-in-Savannah’s-head-ing wholesome)!... pretty much everything we see coming in the most cornball presentation possible.
(For the record -- I actually don't mind The Notebook)

Edge of Darkness (It Is What It Is)
Fair or not, audiences and critics are going to judge Edge of Darkness entirely by its star. The last time we saw Mel Gibson in front of a camera, it was a mug shot and he was on the edge of some personal darkness... Edge of Darkness was a good choice for him. Audiences should like a family man out to do good who has enough of an edge that action fans will like him. He needs to be hero, not an anti-hero, and it’s certainly too soon for the guy who called a female cop “sugar t**s” to play a romantic lead. You can’t help but notice there is no female lead in Edge of Darkness. So – good choice, Mel... but it’s only on the edge of being a good movie. It’s on the edge of being an all-out action movie; it’s on the edge of being a murder mystery, and on the edge of being a political thriller. It only touches on and is only average at each.

The Book of Eli (It Is What It Is)
“It takes forever to get to what isn’t so much an allegory but a flat-out obvious religious fable. It’s almost the Left Behind movies with A-list stars. That’d be fine if it didn’t move so slowly and feel like any other post-apocalyptic thriller. Everyone wears layers of clothes, including gun belts and knives. There’s trading for goods, scavengers on the hunt and a lot of standoffs that end just after our hero tells the unsuspecting gang that “they better just move on.” As directed by The Hughes Brothers, the world is very grey with occasional sunlight peeking through. It looks cool, but not all that original. Pardon the pun, but it’s all done by the post-apocalyptic book.”

Sherlock Holmes (Tremendous)
Robert Downey, Jr. is to Sherlock Holmes what Johnny Depp is to Pirates of the Caribbean – the right guy to guide a hard sell but good idea to the masses. And by Jove, the old chap pulls it off strikingly. When we like Downey (as we did in Iron Man), he’s a bit of a cad but also charming, witty and self-effacing. He brings all that to Holmes and throws in a convincing English accent while he’s at it. He’s buff, but not enough to make you think he can clean everyone’s clock. He’s going to have to use his mind... Director Guy Ritchie slows the action down enough to let us hear Holmes think – and then he strikes, throwing punches that hit as hard as they do in any other Ritchie film. It’s modern special effects fighting set in old England – and it works.

Up In The Air (Tremendous)
Up In The Air ends the year -- heck, the decade -- with a look at where we stand now. We're all in it together -- it even makes you feel sorry for people whose job it is to fire others. It's also very funny as we look at the relationships George Clooney has (or tries not to have) with the people around him. And just when you think it's going to be like any other movie, there's a great twist.
Avatar (Tremendous)
I'm tempted to say "I liked this movie the first time I saw it, when it was called Dances With Wolves." The story of an outsider helping an indigenous people against his own has been pretty well covered already, from Westerns to Star Trek to little-seen animated pieces of crap like this year's Battle for Terra. But that old joke won't work since on the visual level, Avatar is like nothing ever seen before. It's not so much a movie as it is an experience, and you probably have to take it in.
Did You Hear About The Morgans? (Kept Checking My Watch)
"It has an intriguing and somewhat unique enough premise, or at least one that should have made it stand out from other romantic comedies. But once the creators had the initial idea, they let laziness set in... Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant do just enough to remind you they’re Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant and aren’t other actors in disguise. She’s a quirky yet sophisticated gal who loves New York City and wants to talk about her relationships. He’s a droll Englishman with a witty charm who hides his true feelings. They’ve each done these parts so many times before that they’re just phoning it in here. Their delivery is so slow and so familiar; they both seem bored the entire time."

Invictus (Tremendous)
"Last month, this critic was totally manipulated into liking the sports movie The Blind Side. I knew it was a corny movie, but I stand by my review, even if I knew I was being manipulated as it happened. How did I let that happen? Sandra Bullock and the people behind The Blind Side know a good sports story can rally an audience to their point of view and provide a giant shared feel-good moment. Director Clint Eastwood knew it too while making Invictus, and South African President Nelson Mandela knew it while setting in motion the real-life events that inspired Eastwood’s film... It’s an inspiring story, and just like Mandela and Eastwood wanted, I bought into it."
Full review at moviejungle.com
Fantastic Mr. Fox (Tremendous)
"At first glance, The Fantastic Mr. Fox seems like it’s a kids' movie. It’s a stop-motion animation fable based on a book by Roald Dahl, about a fox who retired from chicken-stealing but comes out of retirement to steal from a trio of evil farmers. The cat-and-mouse game that follows is as funny as any Looney Tunes cartoon where animal and human do battle. And it’s very, very funny. But it’s not funny because of animals getting flattened by anvils or because they use props that they ordered from Acme. It’s because it’s written for the screen and directed by Wes Anderson, who gave us the modern classics Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums. Fans of those movies (this critic included) love those films for their dry humor and quirky characters. Fantastic Mr. Fox is in the same tradition as those films; the only difference is the quirky characters are talking animals."

The Blind Side (Tremendous)
"There are certainly some eye-rolling cornball moments in the trailer for The Blind Side. “You’re changing that boy’s life,” says a friend of adoptive mother Sandra Bullock. “No, he’s changing mine,” she answers back predictably. But The Blind Side is the opposite of a movie where the only good stuff is given away in the trailer. While I knew which lines would make me roll my eyes, I don’t think I rolled my eyes any other time. The Blind Side may be a corny story, but it’s also a true story. And it’s a story well-told."

Planet 51 (It Is What It Is)
"Any good UFO story is going to involve a good conspiracy theory, where the characters and audience try to unearth questions about what’s “really going on here.” Sometimes we get answers, sometimes we don’t – and after seeing Planet 51 I’m left with questions myself. Mainly: who do they think this is for?... None of it is particularly original, which gives logic-minded adults opportunity to think about those unanswered questions: how is it everyone speaks English, all the signs are in English, yet no one can read the wrapper on Chuck’s Twix bar?"

2012 (Kept Checking My Watch)
Indiana Jones fans will know about the moment that separated the fourth movie from the classics: it’s been nicknamed the “nuke the fridge” moment. Without giving away too much, Indy escapes certain death thanks to a refrigerator, and the audience who’s been with Indy through snakes, rolling boulders and temples of doom finally rolls its eyes and says “oh, come on.” 2012 is a two and a half hour “nuke the fridge” moment. John Cusack’s character is either the greatest driver who ever lived or the luckiest SOB on the planet... Let’s hope the Mayans’ prediction that something terrible would happen in 2012 has been mistranslated into “something terrible will happen that’s called 2012.” Full review at moviejungle.com
The Informant! (Tremendous)
"Matt Damon gives a great performance in The Informant!, and director Steven Soderbergh has delivered another bit of quirky fun. But the real star of The Informant! would be Damon’s inner voice, which goes absolutely everywhere... He goes from focusing on the task at hand to wondering how some other guy got such a big office to imagining calling his home phone and hearing himself answer to wondering how a polar bear knows he has a black nose. His disjointed thoughts are hysterical, and they also mean we never know what Whitacre is going to do next. Neither does anybody else onscreen, which makes The Informant! so entertaining."

NEW ON DVD:
Zombieland (Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg)
"It’s fitting that a rag-tag team of zombie killers are on an odyssey to an amusement park in Zombieland, since the creators are aiming for a thrill ride that leaves a smile on your face... If you’ve seen any other zombie movie you know how this all goes... It’s been done, well, to death. We’ve seen everything from the gross-out metaphors of the George Romero Living Dead films to Michael Jackson’s Thriller. We’ve seen it as a comedy before in Shaun of the Dead. For director Ruben Fleischer to have a film that’s going to stand out among the bodies, he had to have something original. So he went for strong, funny characters portrayed by strong, funny actors." (Tremendous)
Adam (Hugh Dancy, Rose Byrne)
It's an unlikely love story -- a man with Asperberger's Syndrome has a relationship with his neighbor. It creates awkward situations for each of them, which the movie deals with in fair, dramatic and funny fashions. It's a sleeper romance. (Tremendous)
This Is It (Michael Jackson)
Whether he was performing, simply walking through a crowd or sitting in his thinking tree in that TV special from several years ago, you couldn’t look away from him. Sadly, the gifted performer gave us few actual performances in the last few years and more train wreck moments than we can recount in this space. But in This Is It, even though he may not have intended for us to see it, he finally gives us real performances. He finally gives us something good to look at and reminds us of his considerable gifts... In the interviews he gave in the last several years, Jackson gave off the image of a mousy little boy and a victim to the world. Fans of his music will love seeing him take charge: telling a musician to wait for his cue, letting the sound engineer know the mix is too loud or explaining why there needs to be a long pause so that the music can “simmer.” It’s a reminder he was a creative force. (Tremendous)
The Hurt Locker (Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie)
The Iraq War drama is free of politics and full of tension. It's an interesting study of the type of guys who are willing to sacrifice what they do, and you realize they're sacrificing even beyond physical danger and time away from home. So far, it's the best movie to cover the conflict there. (Tremendous)
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (Bill Hader, Anna Faris)
"I can’t forecast it for sure, but if there’s justice, the much beloved book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is about become a hit movie as well. It’s a comedy that will make everyone in the family laugh out loud. And that’s not because adults watching will get in touch with their inner child or because the humor is lowest common denominator jokes about bodily functions. It’s because some things are just plain funny and very clever." (Tremendous)
District 9 (Sharlto Copley, Nathalie Boltt )
...some pretty heavy stuff – the kind of stuff the best science fiction deals with well. And District 9 is absolutely the best kind of science fiction. But before you have a chance to get too bogged down in the deeper meaning, the action happens. A hapless drone is assigned to head up the relocation of the aliens from District 9 to what’s essentially an internment camp. Things go bad for him, things go bad from the aliens, and then the action begins. And then this potentially heavy message movie becomes way freaking cool. (Tremendous)
Up! (Ed Asner, Jordan Agai
Up! is almost too emotionally manipulative -- it tries every way it can to tug at the emotions. And it worked even on this cynic. I'll be darned if the story of the lonely old man and the eager little kid isn't the most touching of all of Pixar's movies. It's sadly not the funniest, but it works. Still, there are some laughs to be had, especially if you listen closely to the talking dogs... Squirrel! (Tremendous)
(500) Days of Summer (Joseph Gordon Leavitt, Zooey Deschanel)
"If you’ve ever been in a long-term relationship, then you’ve lived at least 400 of the 500 “Days of Summer.” But while they’re familiar situations, there’s nothing familiar about the movie. It jumps from, for example, Day (40) to Day (279) then back to Day (55); the jumps illuminate the different ways the relationship grows and/or deteriorates. It tells its story out of order and somehow it makes more sense than if it was traditionally linear. Ever been in relationship trouble that you didn’t see coming? They and the audience don’t see the warning signs, but since the story’s told out of order, you experience their moments of clarity as they do. You’re right there with Tom as he thinks, “Oh yeah, I should have seen that coming.” (Tremendous)
Inglorious Basterds (Brad Pitt, Christoph Waltz)
With all due respect to The Hurt Locker and the real men and women it's based on, Basterds may be the most tense war movie of the year. Christoph Waltz's Col. Landa is mesmerizing as he interrogates his eventual victims. Quentin Tarantino's trademark dialogue and violent themes work just as well as a World War II revenge fantasy as they do in a modern gangland setting. (Tremendous)
The Brothers Bloom (Adrien Brody, Mark Ruffalo)
What we have in The Brothers Bloom is a familiar story to fans of heist movies: a couple of con men hoping to pull off one last job. And wouldn’t you know it? Their mark is a beautiful woman named Penelope who Bloom can’t help but feel drawn to. But writer/director Rian Johnson peppers the movie with all kinds of original touches that make it at times life-or-death dramatic or at other times pretty darn funny. (Tremendous)
Paranormal Activity
This may be even better at home -- if you saw it in the theater, you got that nice buffer where you walked through the lobby, got to your car and drove home. But it's highly effective to watch the horror on your TV, looking like a home movie -- and then shut out the lights immediately after. (Tremendous)
The Hangover (Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms)
There are guys who probably do have a raunchy decadent time on their Vegas vacations, and then there are guys who probably like to yell “Party!” and do a lot of fist pumping without really knowing how to pull it off. The Hangover’s promos make it seem like a fist pumping kind of movie, but it really isn’t that. That’s not necessarily a bad thing: watching guys yell “Party!” is only funny for so long, so you have to give The Hangover credit for being a more mature comedy than it advertises... it tries too hard to be a cult classic, when what it really is is an ok comedy with a neat idea. Personally, I found the solution to where the groom was and what really happened unsatisfying, but I will admit it’s an original solution, so you may feel differently. (It Is What It Is)
Anvil: The Story of Anvil (Lipps, Robb Reiner)
This Is Spinal Tap is the funniest movie ever made because it's so true. Anvil: The Story of Anvil seems like the same thing. It's funny because it's so true. It's also sad because it's so true. And amazingly moving and inspiring too. It's a great movie for anyone who's wanted to please a crowd or been in a crowd and felt for someone when things aren't going right. Metal on Metal!!!! (Tremendous)
Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince (Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson )
I’ll say this: I enjoyed this one considerably more than the other two I saw. I felt the other ones I saw were just going through the motions – that they were so concerned with recreating the experience of the book that they weren’t all that interesting as movies. “You smiled with wonder when you read about Hogwarts. Now, here it is.” But eventually, in relying too much on the fun, returning director David Yates shoots himself in the foot. We see so much of Harry Potter the man that we don’t see enough of Harry Potter the myth and the legend... In this two and a half hour movie, we have a good two hour movie, and a half hour set up for the final installment. (It Is What It Is)
Julie & Julia (Amy Adams, Meryl Streep)
"It’s like a female version of The Godfather Part 2. Two of the better actresses working today appear in the same movie, but their scenes are set decades apart, so we never see them together. Instead, we watch how two lives in separate times can be so similar and how one can cast a heavy shadow over another. Director/writer Nora Ephron (who’s given us some of the very best chick flicks) takes each of their stories and serves them to us in just the right doses. She goes back and forth to show how each of their quests changes their lives and their relationships. It’s fascinating to see how these journeys of self-discovery can affect those around them: not just in the home but in their social circles. (Tremendous)
Terminator Salvation (Christian Bale, Sam Worthington)
"...There are spectacular chase scenes and plenty of fights – very loud fights. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard such loud metallic crashes... But while the fights are interesting, the story really isn’t. It’s a movie about destiny and keeping up the Terminator continuity – which means all the original ideas were spelled out for us in the first three movies... It’s too grim to be much fun." (It Is What It Is)
Angels & Demons (Tom Hanks, Ewan McGregor)
At the risk of sacrilege, let’s compare Dan Brown’s books and Ron Howard’s movie adaptations of them to a Sunday worship service. Sometimes you go and you’re inspired when you hear a wonderful speaker with fresh ideas. But sometimes, you listen to a sermon or a homily and you think your clergyman is just going through the motions...
The Da Vinci Code held our attention because it looked at the idea that there were secrets we never knew about right in plain sight. It’s not as fun to see a secret revealed that we never knew anything about anyway. Since he’s chasing kidnappers based on clues they leave behind in the present day, it’s less like Langdon is unlocking pivotal historical mysteries and more like we’re watching Batman’s chased the Riddler from Gotham City to Vatican City." (It Is What It Is)
I Love You, Man (Paul Rudd, Jason Segel)
Finally, a relationship comedy aimed at both sexes that understands men. We love you, women... but sometimes it's very important that we go over the set list from a Rush concert. (Tremendous)
Four Christmases (Vince Vaughn, Reese Witherspoon)
"At first, it may seem like this is Take 2 of the Vince Vaughn Holiday Classic Movie (a year ago, Vaughn starred in and produced the under-appreciated Fred Claus). But don’t be fooled into thinking this is a holiday film... Four Christmases is s a comedy about relationships. As Vince Vaughn movies go, Four Christmases is really a lot closer to The Break-Up than it is to Fred Claus." (It Is What It Is)
Funny People (Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen)
At one point, Adam Sandler's actor/comedian character checks his cell phone for messages while being forced to watch his ex-girlfriend's daughter in a home movie. This had to be director Judd Apatow's sub-conscious telling him how self-indulgent his own movie is. I'm a huge fan of everyone involved in funny people, but they all tested my patience here. (Kept Checking My Watch)
Star Trek (Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto)
J.J. Abrams has succesfully restarted the franchise by violating the prime directive -- he reset history. You need not have seen a single thing with the words "Star Trek" in the title to enjoy this, yet with green chicks and red shirts, there is plenty here to keep the longtime fans happy. The cast are wonderful -- they each play the part just right without ever becoming mimics, which had to be especially hard for those playing Scotsmen, Russians and Vulcans. (Tremendous)
The Ugly Truth (Katherine Heigl, Gerard Butler)
"I kid you not: at my screening of The Ugly Truth, the film broke right at the film’s climax. Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler were acting out the pivotal scene that you knew was coming, and the film broke. I could have waited for the film to be fixed just so I could see the last minute in between the unimaginative climax and the credits, but at that point, I had already correctly predicted every other single thing that was going to happen. Why wait when I’m sure I know?... If you think you know everything about Abby and Mike… you’re right, you do. These two characters are stereotypes, written with no imagination and acted with no originality by Heigl and Butler. (Kept Checking My Watch)
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox)
"It didn’t make a bit of sense to me, and with all the noise of machines fighting each other, I didn’t have time to figure it out. Looking back, that’s hard to believe since the movie runs to overkill length of nearly 2 ½ hours. The basic idea is that an evil robot called “The Fallen” has decided now is the time for his fellow evil Transformers – called “Decepticons” – to rise up and take over the planet. Why now? I don’t know. If they were living among us all along, what took ‘em so long?... When the mechanical arms start flying and the roar of machines blare through the speakers, I’ll be damned if I can figure out which one is the Autobot and which one is the Decepticon." (Kept Checking My Watch)
The Proposal (Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds)
The idea behind The Proposal’s been done a few hundred times, so if it’s going to work it has to have the right people and the right setting. And they got it half right. The right people are Sandra Bullock’s Margaret and Ryan Reynolds’ Andrew... Unfortunately, The Proposal makes the huge mistake of leaving the office environment and heading up to Alaska... Instead of a workplace romance between two people who know each other so well, what we end up with is a diluted Sweet Home Alabama." (It Is What It Is)
Year One (Jack Black, Michael Cera)
"One of the best things about Year One is there’s barely a trace of Year 2009... The two primitive men wandering the Earth have a modern attitude for sure, but at no time in this new comedy do they wink at the camera and imply they’re really 2009 men in ancient times... It’s been a long time since we’ve had a good solid Biblical comedy. The last one I can think of is Mel Brooks’ History of the World Part I... We never got a History of the World Part II. So until Mel Brooks gets to it, I’d be up for Harold Ramis’ Year Two." (Tremendous)
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner)
"It’s got to be hard to write a romantic comedy that’s original – whatever twists in life you hand your leads, the audience pretty much knows how it’s going to turn out. Ghosts of Girlfriends Past gives itself an inventive twist, although it makes the writer’s dilemma worse. It’s the umpteenth movie to employ the theme of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol... again, the audience pretty much knows how the movie about a bitter individual visited by three ghosts who want him to change his ways is going to turn out. So I give Ghosts of Girlfriends Past credit: it’s actually pretty enjoyable." (Tremendous)
Battle For Terra
"Conservative groups or anyone with an ax to grind against the environmental movement should stay away from—and not talk about -- the animated 3-D adventure Battle for Terra. Bringing attention to this movie could generate publicity and encourage people to see it, and that will hurt your cause. I won’t reveal where I stand on environmental issues, but I will reveal where I stand on bad movies: I’m against them." (Kept Checking My Watch)
Easy Virtue (Jessica Biel, Colin Firth)
"Jessica Biel takes her shot at respectability – not by actually going on stage and doing a play, but by doing a movie based on a classic play. And she pulls it off. It’s probably a back-handed compliment, but that’s the biggest surprise in Easy Virtue. Biel’s never been a bad actress, but her work would probably not be described as highfalutin’. She’s not who you’d expect in a comedy set in 1920s England, based on a play by Noel Coward and starring actors of the caliber of Kristin Scott Thomas and Colin Firth. (Tremendous)
Observe and Report (Seth Rogen, Ana Faris)
"If I may, I’ll quote myself from my Paul Blart: Mall Cop review referencing one of the few things I liked: “It’s kind of funny that Paul took an oath as a security guard to ‘observe and report’ and he works a Segway very well – we needed more of that kind of law enforcement parody earlier on.” ... Boy, not only did writer/director Jody Hill and the usually likeable Seth Rogen give us a movie that sucks just as bad as Paul Blart, but one that’s kind of unsettling... if you feel like you’ve seen this before – you have and you haven’t. But do yourself a favor and pretend you have. (Kept Checking My Watch)
Adventureland (Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart)
"Had Adventureland come out when I was still a teenager in the 80s, I would have thought this was a classic. It has sex, loud music, parties and a story about young adults trying to make it in the real world. But with my adult perspective, I can’t help but think Adventureland is bland and a little sad... When all is said and done, Adventureland is probably pretty accurate portraying coming of age in the 80s, but it can’t hold up to a coming-of-age movie from the 80s. (Kept Checking My Watch)
(Oh -- and Rochester readers -- look not just for Kristen Wiig but for a Foreigner tribute band!)
Tyson (Mike Tyson)
"The documentary is the story of a man who’s seen drama after drama, tragedy after tragedy, and who largely fails to accept responsibility for his role in it... Tyson’s story has been told many times by sports journalists, but not like this. With the exception of a few sound bites from news footage, the only voice you hear is that of Tyson himself... Boxing movies are almost always the best sports movies – there’s so much drama to be gleaned from a one-on-one fight between two souls. Mike Tyson is fighting his own soul – and doesn’t even know it.

Hello, and welcome to the site. I'm proud to have kept at doing something I love: writing about movies, TV and pop culture. I admittedly never went to any kind of film school (and if you look at this site, it's pretty obvious I never went to web design school either), but I think through years on Rochester radio as the Go-To-Guy for "Who's that guy in that movie who did that thing...?", I developed a rapport with listeners. I'd like to think you knew me and trusted my opinion.
Some of my reviews are right here on the site, and some are at www.moviejungle.com, where I've joined up as a staff writer. You should be able to find the complete versions under "staff reviews." Thanks for your patience following the links. Still, I'll try to provide excerpts and other fresh content here.
I've got most of the movie reviews I've done for the last few years, some of which I did independently, some I wrote for other sites (links included) and some go back to my radio days. I tend to tack new ones on top, so they're pretty much in order by release date.So please... click around! And offer your own opinions by writing mikedigiorgio@aol.com!
