quick review of recent films including, hollywood endings, frailty

Posted by njjohn (A) on September 22, 2002 at 06:41:00

i've seen the following films recently, here's my order of preference.

hollywood endings. just a pleasant, enjoyable film from woody allen. i haven't seen many of his films in recent years, but judging by this film, i'm sorry i haven't been following his work. no one makes films like him, from his own vantage view. and it's great to have what he offers as an "american artist". the film gets a little rediculous it what happens to him as the actor in the film, but it's carried off, and the film is still enjoyable.

the others. i like this film. it's a good film but the ending makes it a very good film. a thought-provoking, and unforgettable type of film.

frailty. similar in plot twist to "the others". an interesting film. kind of rediculous in a way, but it's still engaging.

in the bedroom. another interesting film. a study in characters.

the above are worth viewing.

changing lanes. some interesting hings to think about. some interesting juxtapositions. but the personalities of the characters are a little too far gone for me. actually i'm a little disappointed as a fan of samuel jackson.

all about the benjamins. i like ice cube's films like friday and next friday. this film is not bad. it celebrates black culture a bit. i enjoy the characters. the music soundtrack is good, with good bass. i can take or leave this film.

monser's ball. it's alright. overrated to me. i can't see what she sees in that guy.

the wrong guy. a few laughs but this is a pretty awful film. i kind of stuck it out cause i just didn't feel like getting off the couch.

we were soldiers. i've just seen the beginning so far. it's still in the dvd player. it's the american film hero type of junk so far, and i'm sorry i rented it.

also i just saw "ranson", an older movie with mel gibson. it's a good action film with a good bad guy. i enjoyed it.
