David McK (3576 KP) rated The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) in Movies
Jan 27, 2023
2008 re-make/re-imagining of the 1951 original, with Keanu Reeves - who I felt would be perfect for this role - playing the alien Kla'atu.
Unfortunately, the majority of the film is slow and plodding, with no real connection between Reeves and Jennifer Connelly, with a (very young) Jaden Smith playing a kid who just deserves a good slapping, and with the anti-war stance of the original replaced with an environmental message instead (that's neither good nor bad, just an observation).
One that I may watch on TV if nothing else on, but not one I would be going out of my way to look for or even make time to sit down and view.

Too many songs get halfway there, starting promisingly, then petering out quickly. Both “Familiar Faces” and “Glitterbomb” squander guitarist Mike Einziger’s earworm intros, building something bland around the bright

Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Upstream Color (2013) in Movies
Sep 28, 2017
There isn’t much dialogue in “Upstream Color,” and what there is of it is often misleading or indirect. What I discern here is the work of a unique visual stylist and collage artist who’s creating obsessive-compulsive allegorical puzzles

Blue-ribbon acting from both the four- and two-legged performers distinguishes this film, in which writer-director Christopher Guest proves once again just how good he is at ferreting out offbeat subjects

Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Borat (2006) in Movies
Oct 5, 2017
This isn’t just a few smirks and chuckles. Instead, it’s rib-crackingly, face-hurtingly, endorphin-flushingly hilarious. Empire laughed so hard we had a full-blown asthma attack. They should slap a health warning on this movie.

Playing the regular family man once again, Rogen's comic credentials are well known at this point but his shtick is as funny as ever, with Byrne proving to be an excellent foil.

Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Burn After Reading (2008) in Movies
Oct 5, 2017
There’s nothing that tickles those pesky brothers more than casting a gaggle of gigantic Hollywood stars - including one’s wife - as total nitwits. It’s a high old tale about unintelligent intelligence. That’s the Coens for you.
