Liam Neeson should get a BMF wallet for this one. Liam plays a former spook in this one and he goes on the warpath after his daughter is abducted. All he does is kick ass and take names. Pierre Morel’s direction was well paced. Taken was written by Luc Besson.
Famke, please stop doing whatever it is you are doing to your eyebrows. It looks like you have “Star Trek Eyebrow” but on both sides at the same time.
Taken – 2009 – Worth Consuming
Paul Bart: Mall Cop takes a poke at the microcosm of mall life and all that entails. This one is a bit cheesy but still worth consuming.
This movie feels like that they couldn’t make up their minds whether they were going for a PG-13 or an R rating, then they decided to go G rated and it comes off a bit cheesy and campy. Maybe I am a bit jaded but this movie comes off like a G Rated Disney romp and NOT a true comedy with Adam Sandler as a Producer. No tits, bush, cursing or gun play. There were a few minor explostions but don’t worry Kevin James isn’t going to dethrone The Rock, Clive Owen or Bruce Willis as an acion hero in Paul Bart: Mall Cop.
Adam Sandler produced this however he didn’t put his pal, Rob Schneider, with his catch phrase, “You can do it.” But maybe he should have. They went camp and he should have called Rob up and stuck him in as a minor side kick. Paul Bart is cheesy but still funny. But Sandler, give me a bit more cowbell next time. OK?
Paul Blart: Mall Cop – Worth Consuming 2009
In Flash of Genius, Greg Kinnear plays the role of Dr Robert Kearns, an inventor that made a product we all take for granted today. An intermittent windshield wiper.
Kearns held five patents on his invention and tried to market his invention to Ford, but being all about corporate evil, Ford decided to steal his idea.
He ends up fighting a legal battle his whole life to get justice in true David vs Goliath fashion. It costs him a bit of his sanity, his wife and he loses his family.
Flash of Genius – Worth Consuming 2008
This movie is sort of like Napoleon Dynamite but for Drama geeks.
I wish that “Rock Me Sexy Jesus” was a bit more offensive but it really wasn’t. They hint at lots of offensive things in the movie but you never get to see them. Steve Coogan does bare his ass in a semi-funny male nudity scene.
Hamlet 2 – Worth consuming!
This time around the material is a bit headier touching on issues beyond just racism and going on to Terrorism, Racial Profiling, Torture, The War on Terror and True Love. Torture is wrong but joking about the cock meat sandwich thing was pretty funny.
NPH rocked in his bit part as himself. He stole the movie in the Shrooms scene! Kal Penn and John Cho give a great rehash of their roles from Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle.
The only flaw in this movie was they didn’t get that really good Bush Impersonator, they got the second best guy. He was alright but it would have been a bit better if they got the other guy.
Worth Consuming! This is the best Comedy movie of 2008 so far hands down!
Granted there are some funny parts in Meet The Spartans, there just aren’t enough of them and they are spaced far apart. They used Meet The Spartans as the title but they didn’t do a “Meet The Fockers” tie in at all. It also lacks in, any kind of wit, talent and the special effects department. The only really good thing going on in Meet The Spartans is Carmen Electra.
I don’t know how they got Kevin Sorbo in this flaming POS, he is a legit TV and Movie action star. He needs a new agent and less man on man full on mouth kissing.
Not Worth Consuming 2008
Sicko is yet another eye opening documentary from Michael Moore. The target of Sicko is the US Health care and Pharmaceutical industries. France, Canada, England, and Cuba all have a socialized universal health care system. We here in America DO NOT have a socialized universal health care system. We have HMOs run by Evil Corporations. Fifty percent of the bankruptcies in the US are caused by people that can’t afford their health care. So the business model is this; corporations get rich off of greed, human suffering, and doing their very best to NOT provide the health care they are supposed to. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Bush lauds a lady in the movie for working three jobs, and calls it “Uniquely American”.
Michael Moore shows how the health care system is broken and clearly needs to be fixed or better yet replaced. Currently our health care system is run by evil corporations that only think about profit and corporate evil. For the Punch line at the end, Micheal takes some Patriotic Americans that were the heroes and good Samaritans of 9/11, to Cuba, These former fighter fighters and volunteers receive free Health care from Cuba!
We need to boycott the US health care system, insurance industry and the pharmaceutical industry until this is fixed and the Government puts an end to this. Go to France, Canada, England or Cuba on Vacation for your Health care and Medication. Make sure you have your friends see this film. I would like to know who has caused more human suffering, the Nazis or the HMOs and the Pharmaceutical industry? I put my money on the latter but there isn’t much difference between the three organizations.
