After the terrible last entry in the franchise, I'd ask "Who even cares anymore?"

 

That's pretty much what I was getting at.  I haven't seen the last one, but it doesn't seem as though this is a franchise that needs rebooting.  They should either continue on with it as is or just not make anymore of them.  

[Call Billy Bob]

I stopped after the second one. Enjoyed the premise of the first, but the sequel lost me.

 

That's the problem with all these reboots: for every franchise that needs a fresh new start (Bond, Batman, etc.), we get 3 or 4 attempts to beat a dead horse (this latest example, every Platinum Dunes release... you get the idea).

Sin City: A Dame To Kill For - 2014 - 2/5 - Directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller - starring A Whole Bunch Of People.

"Death is just like life in Sin City. It always wins."

 

The first Sin City film is incredibly stylish and lots of fun, contrary to belief. It was a literal page to screen adaption of Frank Miller's stories. Very little sets and props were used, and to achieve to desired look and feel, producer/director Robert Rodriguez filmed the entire thing against a green screen. It's been nine years and finally the sequel, Sin City: A Dame To Kill For has finnaly come out. Honestly, this film doesn't live up to the nine year hype at all.

 

Just Another Saturday Night

A Dame To Kill For is made up of four stories. The opening story features Marv(Mickey Rourke) waking up around dead bodies and he can't seem to remember how he got there. It's relatively short, around 5-6 minutes and is the opening prologue to the film. The only problem is it feels like a slight rehash of The Hard Goodbye the first graphic novel in the series and the first story in the first film. It's more or less Marv waking up, playing psychopath murdering people and trying to figure what the hell is going on. It's Weak in nearly aspect as just feels like it's there for filler. Oh and compared to the makeup and prosthetics from the first film, Marv here looks like Frankenstein's Monster.

 

The Long Bad Night (Part I & II)

This short story is split up into two parts, both playing throughout the film's duration. The is an original story and features Johnny (Joseph Gordon Levitt), a cocky gambler arriving in town and hits the jackpot (literally). He gets in a high stakes poker game and beats Senator Roarke (Powers Boothe). When he takes a walk out with a woman, Johnny is attacked by Senator Roarke who reveals that Johnny is his illegitimate son. Johnny eventually goes back to town to take down Roarke after he killed a woman he was with. Johnny eventually takes him down but is killed by Roarke.

 

This story isn't bad, it's just kind of hilarious and pointless. Joseph Gordon Levitt plays the character oh Johnny quite well and Powers Booth is ever so great, hell even Lady Gaga is great in her small role as a bar waitress (Side Note: When she isn't wearing crazy ridiculous outfits, she's quite attractive.). The problem is Johnny's motives for taking down Roarke. When you find out he's the bastard child of Roarke, it feels forced, as if this is the best Frank Miller could come up with. After getting beat nearly to death, he goes back into down to play more poker and beat him at his card game again? You have a death sentence over yourself, and yet you still want to gamble. It just doesn't seem logical to me. Yes, he's brash and cocky, but is he really this dumb? And if Roarke really disowns him and doesn't consider him one of his own, why doesn't he just kill him in the first place?

 

A Dame To Kill For

This is the story of which the film takes the subtitle from and is slightly better than the previous two. It's based on the second graphic novel from Frank Miller and has Dwight McCarthy (Josh Brolin) years before The Big Fat Kill meeting up with his former love interest, Ava Lord (Eva Green) and attempting to rescue her from her abusive bodyguard and husband. Ava seduces and manipulates a cop who then tracks down and tries to kill Dwight. Later, Dwight gets facial reconstruction and kills Ava. There's more stuff in between of course, but it's really just Ava double crossing.

 

The graphic novel by Miller is quite good and the film story isn't half bad, it's just not presented as well as it should have been. If you read the graphic novel of this story then you'll know that Ava Lord is practically always naked, and that's exactly what Eva Green is: Practically naked in every scene. I'm not denying she has a nice body, but can she do something other than be nude in nearly every film I've seen her in lately. Also, I really don't think she was right for the role. If only Angelina Jolie stayed on board, I firmly believe she would've nailed it. Josh Brolin is good as Dwight 1.0, though he doesn't have the same charisma that Clive Owen brought in the first film as Dwight 2.0. Another thing that bugs me is when Dwight gets facial reconstruction, It's like they literally threw a Clive Owen Dwight 2.0 wig on him. It's absolutely hilarious. Couldn't they just CGI Clive's face on Brolin's or just get Clive Owen down for a days worth of shooting?

 

Dennis Haysbert takes over the role of Manute (previously played by Michael Clarke Duncan in the first film) and while he isn't as imposing as Duncan was, The All-State man does a well enough job in the role. The character of Shellie actually plays a good part in the graphic novel but is absent in the film since Brittany Murphy is no longer with us and it's hard to find someone to play the character as well as she did. The rest of the acting by Ray Liotta, Jeremy Piven, Stacey Keach, and Christopher Meloni is just as good too. This story is arguably the best in the entire film and the most fleshed out, but still has it's faults. Could have been improved on, but nonetheless, not half bad.

 

Nancy's Last Dance

This is the story that concludes the film and again feels like filler. It's set four years after That Yellow Bastard from the first film and Nancy (Jessica Alba) is a heavy drinking and obsessed with killing Senator Roarke (Jesus Christ, everyone wants this guy dead) for driving Hartigan (Bruce Willis) to suicide. She gets visits from Ghost Hartigan which is hilariously bad and Willis' dialogue consists of "Nancy, wat are you doin?" "Nancy, pls" "Nancy, stahp". Willis was not even needed and his presence really bogs this story down. She cuts her hair and dyes it and cuts her face up looking like some edgy Lisbeth Salander (Sorry couldn't help it) and enlists the help of Marv to kill Roarke. After that the two of them attack Roarke's compound like some flashy, black & white Scarface climax. Of all the stories, this is easily the worst one, and is not just horribly acted, but horribly written. It's too short and not drawn out enough, and you just don't give a damn about Nancy like you did in the first film.

 

Technical aspects, this film is done pretty much the same as the first film. There's no real changes and it doesn't look like the technology has changed at all. It's just as stylish looking as the graphic novel pages and as the first film, however that doesn't make this a good film to begin with. I'd have preferred if the film went with four stories. Three graphic novels: Hell And Back, A Dame To Kill For, Family Values and one short story: Silent Night. There's two original stories, One graphic novel story and one short story. That's not bad, but they don't necessarily flow like the stories in the first film. It feels more and more like this film was made to make up for the lost time that past and an attempt for Rodriguez to gain back his fans since he's really done nothing but S*** lately.

 

Why isn't this good? The stories, minus one, just aren't good or developed properly like should be. Plus nine years is a long time to pass between films. The style of filmmaking used for Sin City isn't new or hip anymore, Zack Snyder used this style for 300 and the same style was used again for its sequel, Rise Of An Empire. Not to mention no one really want's to see this sequel anymore. I did, out of curiosity, and while it wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be, it certainly was as disappointing as I was expecting it to be.

 

Sin City: A Dame To Kill For may look good visually, but it's really just a sequel that took too long to get off the long ground.

Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass making deals for the return of Jason Bourne. *fingers crossed*

 

http://deadline.com/...ne-film-834821/

 

Despite conflicting reports over the last couple of years, the rumors just keep on persisting and cropping up so I'm VERY hopeful that this is actually happening. Not that I hated The Bourne Legacy, in fact I thought it was really quite good, but for causal fans of the franchise, its like George Lazenby taking over from Sean Connery and then getting booted in favor of Connery when OHMSS didn't connect so well. Meanwhile,Jeremy Renner's sequel is still in the works, just bumped again from the July, 2016 release date, which now has been given to Damon's return. Plus it would be great to have Jason Bourne back in 2016 while we are in the interim between Bond 24 and 25! 

[Agent 76]

great news.

 

Matt Damon just rocks as Jason Bourne.

 

One of the best trilogies out there, consistent and entertaining.

I'm really hoping the rumors are true because I love the Bourne movies. Of course I thought the first one was the best, but it would be great to see Damon back kicking b*tt regardless.

[Call Billy Bob]

I enjoyed The Bourne Legacy, but a return to series proper is welcome by me! Hopefully Renner is on board and Bourne and Cross team up in the future.

[Iceskater101]

I enjoyed Bourne Legacy too but now that Matt Damon is on board... I'm excited.

Paramount wants Jack Huston for Ben-Hur

 

http://www.hollywood...-ben-hur-733602

[tdalton]

I'd prefer that the studio keep moving forward with Jeremy Renner's take on the Bourne franchise rather than going back to Damon and Greengrass.  If they brought back Doug Liman and/or tried to recapture what made The Bourne Identity a good film, then perhaps I'd be on board with Damon again.  But, the Greengrass shaky-cam, motion-sickness, overly-pretentious direction is not something that I'm interested in paying my money to see again.  

[The Dove]

Universal IS going ahead with Jeremy Renner's Aaron Cross..its just that his sequel will be set for another release date with Damon and Greengrass' Bourne coming out in July 2016..

[Call Billy Bob]

I knew his sequel was still on, but I'm hoping he'd be up for a co-starring effort with Damon.

[tdalton]

Universal IS going ahead with Jeremy Renner's Aaron Cross..its just that his sequel will be set for another release date with Damon and Greengrass' Bourne coming out in July 2016..

 

Good news.  It seemed a safe assumption to think that they would have just dropped it, given that it didn't perform all that great at the box office and the return of Greengrass and Damon making it somewhat redundant.  

 

Guess I'll have to wait until they announce a release date for Renner's film before jumping back into the Bourne franchise.  

[Call Billy Bob]

I could see the two new films being companion pieces: Bourne and Cross fighting the same threat or solving the same puzzle from completely different angles, not knowing the other is involved.

[Agent 76]

The Bourne Legacy was entertaining, it was interesting to see more of that universe, and Renner did a good job as Cross.

[The Dove]

I could see the two new films being companion pieces: Bourne and Cross fighting the same threat or solving the same puzzle from completely different angles, not knowing the other is involved.

 

Indeed, I was thinking the same thing.. Perhaps we could have a shared sequence for both Bourne's film and Cross's film where the two converge after starting in different threads..aka.. how the Simon Ross sequence from Waterloo station was used as a convergence point for both Ultimatum and Legacy..

Houdini - 2014 - 3/5 - Directed by Uli Edel - starring Adrien Brody and Kristen Connolly

Adrien Brody plays arguably the greatest escape artist and illusionist in the world, Harry Houdini. It follows his early childhood life and early beginnings as a performer to his marriage and being recruited for espionage at MI5 and his eventful death at the age of 52.

 

The performance by Brody is a treat to watch. He's extremely charismatic as Harry Houdini and the voice overs throughout the two part film are quite good. Even the performance by Kristen Connolly wasn't half bad, and it was good to see her again, as I haven't seen her in anything sine Drew Goddard's The Cabin In The Woods.

 

The first part which covers his background, and early tricks is easily the best of the two part miniseries. It's highly enjoyable, despite being a little hammy in spots. The second part isn't bad either, but it treads more and heads into some strange territories as well. Not to mention the miniseries had this type of CSI like analyzing nature to the film that literally tells you everything behind his greatest escapes, illusions, and tricks, which is a little distracting and annoying at times.

 

Houdini isn't bad by any stretch, and it's a great way to kill three hours, but I feel like in the end, I wanted much more than what I was hoping to get.

 

Maleficent - 2014 - 1/5 - Directed by Robert Stromberg - starring Angelina Jolie and Sharlto Copley

"Oh dear. What an awkward situation."

 

Angelina Jolie plays the titular character of Maleficent. The film however is not a remake of the 1959 animated Disney film, Sleeping Beauty but rather a retelling, that instead of showing Maleficent as an evil, sinister antagonist, shows her as a protagonist and even a bit of an antagonist in some lights. It's really just a retelling from her point of view and how she lost her wings, why she is sinister, and how she changes throughout the film. I'm not a fan at all of Disney's film, be it animated or live action, as I personally most of them all follow the same narrative structure and are built from the same mold and such. So why did I sit down to watch this if i dislike Disney, you might ask? It was my mom who pestered me into watching one of her favorite Disney characters, and there's nothing wrong her son watching the film with the mom, right? As expected, she liked it, immensely, however I didn't. It was just like any other Disney, fantasy blockbuster film. I don't see what separated it from the others, despite the fact it had Angelina Jolie and was a retelling of Sleeping Beauty in a sense.

 

Angelina Jolie is quite good in this, like really good, and that's saying something considering I'm not the biggest fan of her at all. I liked how she portrayed this character that you can feel for at times and even side with, as well as feel disdain for when she comes off as sinister. She portrays both sides to the character very well, and for that, I enjoyed the most, and is probably the one thing I enjoyed. The rest of the acting along with the characters aren't really much. The acting is crammy and you don't feel a connection to the characters at all, and could honestly care less for. Oh and Sharlto Copley's acting was ridiculously annoying.

 

I'm pretty vocal on the usage of CGI in films. It can be good when it is absolutely needed, and just awful when both, done wrong, and done excessively (see The Expendables Franchise and Transformers Franchise) I understand there are some things you just cannot create with real production costs (actually, yeah, you could, with lots of money and hard work and time) or find walking-talking trees or fairies, but you could limit the usage of CGI in films. It's like the whole film was done against a green fabric screen and it actually hurt my eyes with my glasses on and off, much like Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland. The film is relatively short, running at 97 minutes, which is both good and bad. Good, because it doesn't tread like most Disney films and somewhat cuts to the chase early on. Bad, because it turn moves way too fast, and practically speed runs through the story, and leaves you pretty un-engaged throughout. It moves too fast to care about anyone or the situations they are in and the direction on a side note, ain't all that stellar.

 

I suppose if you're a die hard Disney fan or you absolutely love the Sleeping Beauty animated film, you might like this as a companion piece, but as entire, Maleficent just isn't good at all. Then again, what does Disney and Bob Iger care, they've made probably over a billion dollars just in ticket sales and merchandise alone.

 

"I call on those who live in the shadows. Fight with me now!"

 

Brick Mansions - 2014 - 2/5 - Directed by Camille Delamare - starring Paul Walker and David Belle

"Look in the cop manual under 's*** happens'"

 

Brick Mansions the last finished film starring Paul Walker to be released. It is an American remake written by Luc Besson who wrote District 13, the original French film, of which this one is derived from, though District 13 is the superior film by a good stretch. In 2018, Detroit, Michigan, A section of the city known as "Brick Mansions" is walled off from the rest of the population and houses only the most dangerous criminals possible, a. Damien Collier (Paul Walker) is a cop who goes undercover and teams up with Lino (David Belle) to infiltrate the "Brick Mansions" to save Lino's girlfriend from a ruthless drug kingpin, Tremaine (RZA) as well stopping a plot that involves a bomb.

 

This is probably Paul Walker's best acting to date, though it's not going to win over critics and get an Oscar Nomination though. He's not the greatest actor, but there is no denying the fact the man has charisma, something a lot of actors lack today. It was a treat to see him in this, in what would be his second to last film (Fast & Furious 7 comes out next Spring), though it would've been better if this film was better made. Having said that, Walker always did a great job in action scenes, considering he's trained in several forms of martial arts and was posthumously awarded his black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu shortly after his death.

 

Like most of Luc Besson's films that he has written as of late, Brick Mansions is just as uninspired as 3 Days To Kill and Taken 2 for example. Yes, it's a genre film, no it isn't meant to be taken highly or be groundbreaking, but can Besson actually start thinking out of the box tackle some different stuff rather than remake his own film or write up another dull action film we've all seen in the past. District 13 is actually a pretty good action film, it's not a masterpiece, but it's quite good and directed very well by Pierre Morrel. Brick Mansions isn't written well nor is it directed well.

 

There's an underlying matter of corruption with police in the film, which is obviously the real villain, but while we are led to believe that Tremaine is the villain, you really can't seem to fathom it, as Tremaine comes off as a pretty cool guy to be honest. Lino isn't fleshed out and is just some parkour crazy guy and Damien Collier is the only character that is somewhat fleshed out, somewhat. We know just a little about his past and what his real motives are so that slightly makes him a three dimensional character.

 

What makes this film absolutely dreadful to sit through is not only the weak and toll action scenes, but the atrocious editing. I'm not talking about the pacing, since it's only about 85 minutes, but my god, is every action scene edited to crap. All the other scenes are edited fine, they aren't amazing, but their not hyper crazy like their action scene counterparts. Every action scene has practically slow motion as well as crazy cuts every split second. They're completely incoherent and annoying and make them a pain in the ass to watch. These are the worst action scenes in terms of editing since Quantum Of Solace.

 

With Paul Walker, I've enjoyed four films from him. The Fast And The Furious and Fast Five are a given since it was corny, yet pretty cool. Into The Blue, sure the films isn't all that great, but I enjoyed it more than I should have, plus the underwater scenes were great. And lastly, Running Scared, which is probably my favorite film from Paul Walker and is a really underrated crime film. If you are a fan of him then by all means check out Brick Mansions, just know that It isn't a good film at all. I'm even starting to detest Luc Besson now, and I'm already second guessing his last outing, Lucy now.

 

Into The Storm - 2014 - 0/5 - Directed by Steven Quale - starring Richard Armitage and Sarah Wayne Callies

The best way to look at Into The Storm is a much more stupider version of Twister shot in a found footage style with incompetent characters, a severely uninspired screenplay, and horrible acting and direction throughout. It's quite funny how Warner Bros. put this film in production quickly just based off of a spec script. There's literally nothing redeeming let alone enjoyable about this film.

 

I'm not a big fan of Twister, it's not a bad film, but it isn't a good one either, so it just sits perfectly in the middle as being "okay" or "meh". At least the effects and acting in it were pretty good. Here, It's like the cast either overacts everything and it comes off as hilariously bad, or they just have troubles conveying any sort of emotions altogether, and it just gets more and more painful to watch. Everyone throughout is really just flat, like each character. You can't find any relation to any of these typical, cliche ridden people and I honestly wished they all just walked in the middle of the tornado.

 

I'm not the biggest fan the found footage genre, and the granddaddy of them all is still The Blair Witch Project in my book. This films is shot with a found footage style in mind as well as being shot both in conventional, standard storytelling with regular camera techniques, which is a bit off putting and questionable at times, as well as being filmed in a first person shooting style. I look at it as an attempt to bring the film down at a grounded level and have it appear more real and frightening then it already is. Ultimately it's just a joke and doesn't enhance the film in any sort of way.

 

The less I write about this film, the better. Into The Storm is a god awful film and another turkey of 2014.

 

Let's Be Cops - 2014 - 3.5/5 - Directed by Luke Greenfield - starring Jake Johnson and Damon Wayons Jr.

"We're the law, b****!"

 

Most modern comedies don't really cut it for me anymore, so it's pretty rare for one to strike in the right spots with me and actually be pretty good. Upon looking at promotional material for Let's Be Cops it looked like any other modern comedy film within the buddy cop genre. It didn't look appealing. Fortunately, I was wrong, as Let's Be Cops was actually quite funny. The duo of Jake Johnson and Damon Wayons Jr was a blast to watch, and the overall film proved to be much more funnier than I was initially expecting.

 

Justin Miller (Damon Wayons Jr) is a 31 year old video game designer, living with his roommate, Ryan O'Malley (Jake Johnson), a 30-something year old man whose aspirations of being a pro football player have been crushed. One night, they go out on town in Los Angeles wearing authentic LAPD uniforms and discover the power of appearing to be law enforcement. They use the uniforms the swoon over the ladies and overpower people on the streets and go as far as to aquire an authentic LAPD Ford Crown Vic vehicle. However, the two friends are immediately thrust into the real world of crime and police corruption, as they are brought in to take down Mossi Kasic (James D'Arcy), a local gangster who appears to be in cahoots with someone from the LAPD transporting stolen merchandise from the LAPD.

 

It's basically a buddy cop film, cut and dried, and though it may not be as good as Lethal Weapon or Hot Fuzz, Let's Be Cops actually proves to be hilarious when it is intended to be, even playing off of old action film and buddy cop film cliches. Jake Johnson and Damon Wayons Jr. are hilarious together and feed off of each other very well. It's not just two guys spewing out dick and fart jokes, as the situations they are put in, in the film, are usual situations you would expect a cop to be, as well as crazy situations a cop wouldn't be in. The Nightclub scene was hilarious and the Hardware store scene had me laughing my ass off the most.

 

It takes roughly twenty minutes for the film to start going, which is one of the few problems I have, as it was too long, of an already short film, but once it got going, it took off and kept going straight. The villain, Mossi Kasic (James D'Arcy) was just your usual villain and it would've been great to see attempts at making him a little more fleshed out, though those Venum hoodies were pretty great though. Andy Garcia plays Detective Brolin, the LAPD officer who is working with Kasic, and write when you see him, you right away tell yourself that's a cop working with the bad guy, so the element of surprise for the reveal later on is gone. That's really the only few problems I have with Let's Be Cops. It's a shame it's getting such horrible reviews, because it's actually quite funny and really enjoyable.

I really want to see this movie because I have always been a huge fan of David Fincher. He makes really good movies and I love his themes in many of them. I haven't read the book, but I still want to see the film.

I just read the book, and I lost interest in the film.

Why is that?

The book was tedious and just straight terrible. Knowing the author of the book the screenplay for the film is just another big reason for me to avoid the film until it's release on Blu Ray.

I read the book as well. I'll still see the film, though, as the author has completely re-written the third act for the screenplay.
