Credit: Columbia Pictures (found: Wikipedia) I could just end the review here and say “GREAT MOVIE. GO SEE IT!” but that would not illustrate just how awesome this movie is. But seriously, it’s a great movie. Go see it. Synopsis: A detailed account of Mohandas K. Gandhi’s life of activism and inspiration. My review:...
Lynn Whitfield as Josephine Baker circa 1950s. Found: Google I happened to stumble upon TVOne’s showing of The Josephine Baker Story today and I found myself compelled to sit and watch all of it. Well, at least most of it–I have the tendency to get angry when social injustices such as racism are played out on...
Boomerang is probably one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies. Of course, when it came out, 1992, it wasn’t a guilty pleasure; it was box office gold. But if we’re looking back on it in terms of nostalgic fondness, it has all of the hallmarks of a great guilty pleasure movie: 1) representing a fetishistic version...
A few weeks ago, I wrote a retroactive review of Raiders of the Lost Ark after having viewed it in its entirety for the first time. I was honestly let down, especially since people love the film so much. But I don’t think my review was as thorough or even as honest as it...
Before I begin, I know many people throughout the U.S. and the world love Indiana Jones movies. My brother is one of those people. I thought I was one of those people until I actually sat down and watched Raiders of the Lost Ark for myself. I thought Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was...
A lot of movie watching today on a rainy Saturday in Birmingham. Finally, I have a chance to write some extensive movie reviews until I go see Inception next week; I’ve been MIA due to heavily marketing my new online novel/webfiction/webserial Polite Society (if you like the 1700s and the movie Marie Antoinette, click...
This movie is a maze of film noir proportions, but it’s not a film noir. It’s marketed as a women’s movie just because it’s set in the 1700s, but really, anybody who likes intrigue can watch this film and enjoy it. And having superb actors like Glenn Close and John Malkovich doesn’t hurt, either....
This movie is one of those guilty pleasure disaster movies, but it was also a huge blockbuster in its day, due to the superpowered might of Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum. Even after the hoopla has died down and the movie has been taken apart in post-90s rewind reviews, the movie still holds up...
Marie Antoinette isn’t the best movie, I’ll admit that. The movie garnered a 55% rotten rating at Rotten Tomatoes, and the evidence to why it’s rated this way is pretty in-your-face. But still, who can say no to all of the beautiful, gooey close-ups of lavish dresses and sweet petit-fours? (A lot of people,...
I’m a big musical fan, so I had to get this movie when it came to DVD. Also, this is the first movie I played on my first laptop, so I have a different connection to this movie than some of the other films I have. I’ll go ahead and say this, though–if you’re...
This movie is probably one of those movies that, for some people, is so bad it’s good. At the very least, it’s a classic example of why Roland Emmerich films are the bane of many people’s movie experiences. Godzilla is a reimagining of the Japanese monster from the ’60s and ’70s. In this movie,...
