The Longshots

August 22nd, 2008

The Longshots might play like a TV movie in search of a better writer if it were not based on true events. As it is maybe they were doing the best that they could with what they had which is a compelling story. Rapper Ice Cube is amassing an impressive filmography, possibly longer than his discography as he applies his clean cut edginess to Curtis Plummer a football never was in a has been Il ...

Tropic Thunder

August 15th, 2008

Tropic Thunder is the fictitious re-enactment of a non fiction book that turns out to be fiction and in the process fiction becomes reality. Huh? Never mind, all you need to know is that the laughs are non stop through this Ben Stiller directed comedy in which he also stars. The character development is brilliant as we get to know a lot about the movie stars within a movie by the opening scen ...

Vicky Cristina Barcelona

August 15th, 2008

Vicky Cristina Barcelona is not as you might think the name of someone so pretentious they insist on using every one of their names – it’s just one of the three way relationships that drift in and out of this fresh Woody Allen gem. Vicky (Rebecca Hall) is as anal as Cristina (Scarlett Johannson) is loose and it’s a wonder that they’re friends at all. When Vicky’s studies take her to Barcelona ...

Bottle Shock is the name given to the phenomenon when the character of wine is changed in transit over long distances. In 1976 the international character of wine was changed forever after a Parisian taste test that pitted French wine (the eternal standard of excellence) against the best from Napa Valley.

Pineapple Express

August 8th, 2008

Pineapple Express is metaphor used by every west coast meteorologist in reference to the moisture laden winds that originate around the Hawaiian Islands and condense as sheets of winter rain across the lower mainland. The term is probably a flashback to Seth Rogan’s hazy days at Point Grey secondary but here he tags the name on a potent strain of marijuana allegedly cultured by the army in th ...

American Teen

August 8th, 2008

American Teen takes us through the senior year of an American high school smack dab in the middle of a red state bible belt. Focussing on four 18 year olds in Warsaw Indiana this amazing documentary actually plays out like an insightfully written drama. In a word there’s a jock, geek, prom queen and misfit - none of whom is totally likeable although some are more charming than others. The qua ...

Man on Wire

August 8th, 2008

Man on Wire was the improvised and amusing description on a 1974 New York City police report describing the nature of a disturbance cause by an arrested Parisian street performer. Philippe Petit was the culprit and the wire you see was stretched between the then brand new World Trade Towers. The arrest took over an hour as Petit was in no hurry to wrap up his adventure and the police were und ...
