Dogtooth (2009) -- good if you like strange and disturbing artsy movies

Holy Crap! They just added every episode of Inspector Gadget. Heck Yes!!

The Good Guys on Netflix instant

fricking great show.

wanted to add a couple of little "reviews" for a few movies I recently watched:

The Jacket (2005) Adrien Brody as an Iraqi War vet who comes back to the states kind of messed up and is committed to an insane asylum after being accused of murder. Hitch hiking occurs multiple times in this film and we all know it’s something one just shouldn’t do. Did Brody’s character kill someone or not? Are the treatments working? Watch it to find out. Also features Keira Knightley in a really creepy role. Plus Kris Kristofferson and Jennifer Jason Leigh as the mental institute doctors.

Coastlines (2002) Timothy Olyphant and Josh Brolin star in this crime drama. Olyphant’s character gets an early release from a Florida prison and comes home to collect a large sum of money from his drug dealing partners. The said partners are completely surprised by his arrival, promise to get the money to him ASAP and then start trying to kill him. He ends up staying with his old best buddy Brolin, the local, not so on-the-level (it’s rural Florida after all) sheriff. Brolin’s wife, played by Sara Wynter is also an old friend who starts having relations with TO’s character when Brolin and their two little girls are out of the house (it is rural Florida after all). Does the sheriff protect his old ex-con friend? Does he find out about the hook ups with his wife? It is steamy down there in rural Florida.

The Good German (2007) George Clooney and Kate Blanchett are ex-lovers in this Noir failure. It is shot in black and white and really looks great but by the end you think you may have seen some kind of satirical Casablanca. It is set in occupied (by the US and the USSR) Germany at the end of WWII. Clooney’s character, an Army Captain, wriggles his way back to Germany after the war to find Blanchett whom he had an affair with while running the AP bureau there before the war (must have been like Cary Grant & Rosiland Russell in His Girl Friday). He finds she has become a prostitute and is currently the girlfriend of his assigned driver an Army Corporal played by Tobey McQuire. Blanchett’s character was using Maguire to try to get out of Germany but why is her getting out important enough for people close to her to be murdered? Is she in danger? Is Clooney’s character in danger? Who gets what part of Germany? Who gets Blanchett?

Stone (2010) Edward Norton is “Stone” Creeson, an imprisoned arsonist with a beautiful wife, Lucetta, played by Milla Jovovich. Robert De Niro is Jack Mabry, his parole officer. Stone wants out of prison. Lucetta his very hot wife also wants him out. Mabry is an old, one foot out the door PO. Norton’s Derrick Vinyard character in American History X would hate Stone because he is a corn rowed thug who rivals Gary Oldman’s Drexl character with his hoodness. Lucetta has snakes in her head to go with a lot of bubble gum psychology for why Stone is the way he is. She explains it all to Mabry when he comes over to see her at her home. What, besides talking about the hubby, goes on with the PO and the convict's wife. How much does Stone know about? Who is in charge of this triangle? Can Marbry make it to his retirement?

My Name is Nobody (1974) That’s right the old Terrance Hill/Henry Fonda Spaghetti Western. Fonda is Jack Beauregard , the fastest gun in the west and Hill is Nobody, the new kid in the gunfighter game who wants to make a name for himself and send Beauregard out with a bang. This one comes with an Ennio Morricone (The Good the Bad & the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in America, Once Upon a Time in the West, The Untouchables) soundtrack. Beauregard and Nobody are great together in every scene. Lots of humor, a great story and lots of gunfighting in the Old West. Who goes out on top? Why does Nobody always seem to be smiling? What makes Beauregard laugh? Who is the faster gunfighter?

More reviews on page 17 and 24

Was Coastlines good? I have it in my queue somewhere. I like the director, Victor Nunez. He doesn't make very many movies or movies very often but I like the ones I've seen, which is only couple. Ulee's Gold & A Flash of Green which I thought was a great movie. Another drama with a Florida setting, Nunez a native of Florida shot all his films there and his love of his home state seems to come through in his camera.

Watched another movie and felt the need to address it here too:

Powder Blue (2009) Jessica Biel, Ray Liotta, Eddie Redmayne, Forest Whitaker
This one was one of those movies that seemed like three or four different movies going on simultaneously. There was some crossover of the different stories going on. Even though there is one scene with him interacting with one of the other main characters in the movie, I never did figure out what the parts with Whitaker had to do with the rest of it, especially the part where he deals with a transsexual prostitute. Damn that guy gets himself into some odd roles! His part is really good but seems unnecessary to the plot. Biel, who plays an extremely talented stripper, is the main character. Liotta is an older ex-con that she meets at her place of employment. Redmayne plays a young undertaker who is lucky enough to be the guy that just happens to find her lost doggie. The beginning of the movie is all of these characters going through their really lonely day to day lives. Chance meetings between them and the relationships that develop fill the rest of it. Does someone get the very sexy girl? Is every female or person that dresses as a female a whore? Was that really Patrick Swayze doing a great David Lee Roth imitation as the owner of the strip club?
