I have seen four movies in the past week and I just wanted to quickly tell you what I thought of them.
Wild Hogs - This movie is exactly what you would expect. Very run of the mill jokes with very few stand out performances.
Was laugh out loud funny in some parts and very boring in others. Bill Macy is the stand out, of course. He made me laugh a lot. Maybe worth a rental. Don't waste your time in the theater.
Black Snake Moan - I was VERY impressed with this movie. Sexy, well acted, and beautiful to watch. An interesting tale that has just the right amount of the obscure without overdoing it. Jackson and
Ricci are electrifying.
Timberlake does very well, as well. I never saw
Alphadog, so this was my first experience with him as an actor. I was impressed. Some day he and Mark
Wahlberg will be superstars.
Zodiac - This is my vote for best film of the year thus far. An incredible cast plays this gripping drama out beautifully.
Absolutely gripping storytelling kept me interested throughout the two hour, forty minute film.
Fincher dialed down his usual visual flare and just tells a brilliant story about the lives affected by the Zodiac killer. An absolute MUST see.
The Number 23 - Again, nothing to great, just like you would expect from
Schumacher. The acting is fine, the cinematography is fine, but the story is all wrong. It has WAY to many holes to be at all interesting. I HATE when directors feel the need to spell out the resolution in huge detail just to make sure even the largest idiot will understand. Worth seeing for the concept, but wait until it hits the video store.
