Be Cool and Sin City

The film Be Cool, reteams stars John Travolta and Uma Thurman. The film has it's moments. The Rock plays a gay aspiring singer/actor. Vince Vaugh is a wanna be black man, a cross between Vanilla Ice and Emminem. Andre Benjamin of Outkast Fame is a Buppie, trying to be a gansta with a happy trigger finger. He has really proven himself as having talent. It won't be long before he gets the right film that will put him in the leading man seat. Steve Tyler of Aerosmith, Danny Devito and Sedric the Entertainer add to the ensemble of talent in this film. Give it a look see, it does have a few laughs.

This is my second time seeing Sin City, but the first time watching it on television. I still think it is artistically done. Mickey Roark, Bruce Willis and Clive Owen are great as the male leads and Rosario Dawson, Brittany Murphy and Miss Lohan take on the female leads. It you like comics, and you like films based on comics this film captures the style of the adult novels. The art direction, cinematography and costumes should definitely get an Oscar nod.

Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind. I hope to get back to watching more movies soon.

Natural Born Killers

It's been a while folks. I'm slowly getting back into the groove of watching movies. I can't go overboard and I'm only buying a few films that I wanted to add to my collection anyway. There are a few films I picked up just because it seemed interesting and the price was right. I had seen Natural Born Killers many years ago. I don't recall seeing it in the movie theater, but a friend of mine had a full theater in his home and I think that is where I watched it. Originally I wanted to see the film because Robert Downey, Jr. was in it. Now that I've watched it again I've become a fan of Woody Harrelson. I thought he was great in the People vs. Larry Flint. Juliet Lewis has a relationship with the camera and she pulls off every role she takes on. From murderess to hooker, we're glued to the screen. I really liked her in Kalifornia with Brad Pitt, but she was also good in Basketball Diaries. Check out all of the films listed, they are exceptional. Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind.

Cradle to the Grave

Cradle to the Grave stars Angelina Jolie as the computer generated star. I've reviewed this film before. I was not as impressed with it as I was with the original, but I do like Angelina Jolie. I love movies and so I can always find something good about a movie. Just wanted to keep you up to date of what I'm watching. Tonight I think I'll watch Mars Attacks. I've never seen that one. Thanks for stopping by; keep on livin' and keep an open mind.

Movies, TV and all that good stuff

I've been watching movies on Satelite TV, Weird Science, Dallas, Knots Landing and Six degrees of Separation. So other than sitting in front of the computer, watching TV will be the other way to pass time until I can get my life in gear again. I can begin writing. Maybe put together a short story on the hurricane. All of this would make a great chapter in the story I was writing, Pieces of Reality. Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind.
