ReviewCity!

I have a backlog of reviews. Time to post them!

--Movie Review: Shanghai Knights: 3.5 Denstars (out of 5)
About Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson and their battle to keep ethnic stereotypes alive! I would have said "more the same" but it really felt like a different style of movie than the first. The plot was more structured, more predicable and the action was more comedical. Actually, I think Owen Wilson was much more funnier in the first one. Fann Wong was HOT!

--Movie Review: Band of Brother DVD Box Set: 4.5 Denstars (out of 5)
About a "band of brothers" and their battle to survive World War II. The real life story of "Easy Company" as told thru an 10 hour HBO mini series. Not as gory as Saving Private Ryan but the same impact as how dramatic and extraordinary war can be. Great performs from all the actors involve. I see big things for all of them in the future. The production values on this film is amazing for a made for cable mini series. A must see.

--Movie Review: Undercover Brother: 3.5 Denstars (out of 5)
About Eddie Griffin and his battle against "The Man." The movie was alright, it did have it moments. Chris Kattan was a little too much. Sistah Girl was HOT! It was also great to see Toronto's Richmond Street infront of the Joker Nightclub in the movie. The best thing about the movie was Dave Chapelle. He was hilarious. So much so, after I saw this movie, I immediately went and watched....

--Movie Review: Half Baked: 5.0 Denstars (out of 5)
About a bunch of pothead friends and their battle to save one of their own from jail. One of the best "stupid" movie of all time (watched high or not). Less it being a movie about drugs but more about best friends who all stick together and help each other out, in an asshole kinda way. Dave Chapelle is brillant in movie. Harland Williams rocked. And why isn't Scarface doing more comedies? A must see, NOW!

--Play Review: The Joy Luck Club: The Play: 4.0 Denstars (out of 5)
About a group of women and their daughters and their battle to figure each other out. This was the world premiere play version of the award winning book and film from Amy Tan. This play had one of largest cast I have ever seen for a small production play, even though everyone played more than one part. I thought the play jumped into the first story kinda abuptly but the rest of the play was fine. You know, both the book and film had really emotional endings and I was afraid the the play could not capture that. It did.

--Movie Review: Adaptation: 4.0 Denstars (out of 5)
About film writer Charlie Kaufman and his battle to write the impossible screenplay to an impossible book. This is another very quirky little movie from both Charlie Kaufman and Spike Jonze who brought Being John Malkovich. This movie will make you think. Was the ending supposed to be that way or was that intentional(?) After the movie, I had a theory about the movie that I shared with those who saw it with me, and as we thought about it, the more my theory started to make sense. It was only later that I discovered that my theory was right! I am SMART!. S. M. R. T!

--Movie Review: Confessions of a Dangerous Mind: 4.0 Denstars (out of 5)
About Chuck Barris and his battle to lead a double life as a game show creator and a CIA operative. Another great film from writter Charlie Kaufman. Brilliant, fresh and innovative film direction from first time director George Cooney. Sam Rockwell was great as Chuck Barris. Was Chuck Barris really an CIA operative? Hmmm...

--Movie Review: Signs: 4.0 Denstars (out of 5)
About Mel Gibson and his battle against god during an aliens invasion! You know, I saw this movie like two times in the theatres (in 2 different cities too) and have only now wrote the review for this movie when I also got the DVD. I really like M. Nights' work and Signs is no exception. He truely makes greatly structured movies that really invites ppl to watch it more than once. Though I like this movie, I still can't escape the huge plot hole that this movie has. Oh well...

--Movie Review: xXx: 2.5 Denstars (out of 5)
About Vin Diesel and his battle to get a rush from saving the world. The action in this movie was incredible, everything else was horrible. I have lost some much respect for Vin Diesel after watching this movie, because it showed me how much he CAN'T ACT. He was just BAD in this movie. Its funny how I waited until the DVD version to come out before I wrote this review even though I saw it in the summer time when it was released. Needless to say, I did not buy the DVD.
