Baby Driver (2017)
Excellent movie but Chraracter drawing flawed.
Spoilers I loved the way the heists are both slick and messy. However I had a big problem with the Doc Character, first he states that other than Baby he never uses the same crew twice; well he used the same crew twice. Also, he starts out super bad-ass, then at the end he is all sentimental...'I was in love once,'Sorry, no! Especially as the kid has stuffed up his whole life, set up and reputation.
Spoilers. Ed, picture this; After the cop shoot out at the meet with doc, the place is empty except for doc who tells them the job is off and leaves never to be seen again. The crew do the job anyway and stuff it up as per movie. Baby gets out of prison and is greeted by Debra in one car and Doc in another. Baby Driver 2.
Mount St. Elias (2009)
makes pipeline surfers look like wimps.
There's extreme sports and then there are these guys, they just set the bar so high. Only sky skiing behind the space shuttle could put them in the shade. The photography is awesome but the unbelievable tenacity in the face of such a hostile environment coupled with a matter-fact commentary in a German accent can only be described as a mental defect or simply German. Try and see it up big and certainly Hi-Def, if you want edge of the seat stuff, then this is the film for you. It captures something I have never seen before in a documentary, it is incredible, it is insane, it is the first film I have ever seen where I needed a drink after!
I Am Legend (2007)
Why I am Leg End is not a patch on Omega man. Warning serious Spoilers!!!.
A fantastic relationship was set up with his dog with this his dog represented symbols of love hope and charity, the three spiritual needs of mankind. I thought this version of this fantastic novel was going to kick ass! Then the dog died and sadly so did the film, resorting to scrabbling around for plot parts they had neglected but not understood. Thus also failed to notice that "the omega man" had understood these plot parts and developed them to kick ass effect, but I am a Leg End resorted to, "umm we're stuck, hey lets bring in a chick and a kid, that will do the trick, Hey! The week we open, buy Kleenex stock. " Nuh sell, So sad.
Sideways (2004)
American Withnail & I
This film is an American 'Withnail and I' and the funniest film since the eponymous cult classic. Like 'Withnail and I' it is the story of a pair of men whose dreams of success are receding, one is prepared to compromise his life in order to keep the pursuit alive the other is not. The pair take a wine tasting a trip to rationalize this situation, however on account of one characters 'withnailian' proportions of narcissistic selfishness and cowardice, instead of rationalizing the situation it does in fact become hysterically polarized. They both have dark and selfish sides to their personality but it is those aspects that make them human and whilst we may disapprove at times, we always love them. First class writing acting and directing, more please, lots more!
