It's been a bad couple of weeks for movie watching. I didn't make it through many of them. Here goes.
American Dreamz - can't believe this movie had Hugh Grant and the director of American Pie and About a Boy and it sucked this bad. Interesting concept, very satirical and not funny at all. Any movie that tries to mix in American Idol, with the president (obvious bush and chenney immitations) as well as terrorists and still tries to be a comedy has to get some credit for effort I guess but pretty much it's the only hugh grant movie that I have seen that I wished I didn't.
The Lost City - movie about Cuba in the 50's 60's with Andy Garcia directing and starring and Bill Murray and Dustin Hoffman in cameos....pretty boring.
Dick - Satirical movie about Richard Nixon with Kirstin Duntz. Not sure why I rented it....it does have cameos by Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell...however it was too stupid to make it worth while.
Moscow on the Hudson - Great accent by Robin Williams as a Russian but boring.
Off Mice and Men - the lone good movie I have seen in weeks. Excellent performances by Gary Sinese and John Malkovich. Just like the book.
The Big White - straight to dvd release for the latest Robin Williams (his career is sinking) movie. Not bad though. It has Holly Hunter and Woody Harrelson as well. It's about a in debt man (williams) who fakes his missing brothers death (harrelson) to get the life insurance money. He does this after Harrelson is gone for 5 years and williams finds a corpse left by a mob hit. Lots of twists etc. Not too bad....funny part where he takes the body (this is in alaska) and throws it over a mountain and the next day is mad because no wild animal has eaten him....so he smothers him in bacon and lard and raw meat....disgusting yes but slightly funny.
