Film producers are seen offering revenge, frivolous sexual acts and substance abuse as values, while teaching that rebellion against everything is better than standing for anything. Heroic icons such as John Wayne have been replaced with sarcastic, emotionally retarded slackers who couldn’t find their own moral code if it were printed on the back of their bong. Hollywood forces their products into our lives through intrusive marketing campaigns all in a ploy to get us to watch films that do little to improve our lives. They provide porn on demand, advertise graphic violence to children and demean anything that hints of traditional morality. When they’re done peddling their inane wares, they hand out awards to each other and ask us to applaud.<br /><br />Skilled Christians have responded to this situation by learning to survive in Hollywood and have slowly been working their way up the ranks of the industry. It's become clear over the last few decades that many of the unskilled Christians have just gone ahead and made films themselves. For decades, Christians have been developing a sub-industry with the label "Christian film". This branch of film is littered with some of the most embarrassing films released. As a film critic and as a Christian I am constantly amazed that some apparently think that making crappy movies glorifies God. I believe that given the despicable shape of Christian film, this industry deserves all of the mockery and dismissals it has received. My regular readers have been subject to my bombastic rants against the genre. Recently, a few of my readers requested that instead of just beating up on Christian film, that I should actually point out some of the good works done in the genre. Fair enough. Below are some of the true gems to be found amongst the towering piles of cinematic waste in the Christian film trash bin.<br /><br />I am going to avoid the clear choices like <span style="font-style: italic;">Passion of the Christ</span> or <span style="font-style: italic;">The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Babette's Feast, The Hiding Place </span><span>and </span> Chariots of Fire in favor of concentrating on selections that most mainstream audiences may have missed.<br /><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Luther (2003)<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" ><a href="http://www.goodnewsfilmreviews.com/2008/08/movie-trailer-luther.html">Click on the image to view the trailer</a></span><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.goodnewsfilmreviews.com/2008/08/movie-trailer-luther.html"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_erB_lzkTh5c/SKToITJ_HPI/AAAAAAAAAFk/_uNIkOLpYkw/s320/11.jpg" alt="Joseph Fiennes as Martin Luther" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234563896190115058" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family:arial;">A well-paced look into one of the most influential men in history.

Its actually pretty sappy and the audience for this movie probably isn't all that broad. That said, the movie is well constructed, and even though I'm a jaded, critical jerk, I enjoyed it.<br /><br />Following the death of his rich father, Jason (Drew Fuller) an aimless trust fund baby, is prepared to collect his inheritance. His father has other plans and links the family riches to Jason performing tasks meant to give the rudderless kid direction and a new found love of life. There is little here that is fresh and, again, many will find this to be a sap-fest. Some good screenwriting by Cheryl McKay (<span style="font-style: italic;">Gigi: God's Little Princess</span>) and good performances by Fuller, Bill Cobbs, and Brian Dennehy saves this from becoming a mindless, Hallmark card put to film.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="http://www.goodnewsfilmreviews.com/2007/10/ultimate-gift-2006.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Read the full review</span></a></span><br /></div></div><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" ><br /></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Mercy Streets (2000)</span> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" > <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_erB_lzkTh5c/SKTvjODGhsI/AAAAAAAAAF8/1W12BPhRMs4/s1600-h/Untitled.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_erB_lzkTh5c/SKTvjODGhsI/AAAAAAAAAF8/1W12BPhRMs4/s320/Untitled.jpg" alt="David A.

In this respect, this production is a casualty of Christian restraint. The problem is that when Christians want to water down the world to make it fit in a nice, Christian template (no cursing, no violence, etc.) they end up creating something that is not truthful - and therefore a lie. Showing violence isn't forbidden, its the how and why its shown that is of concern. Despite the milquetoast villain, this small production has a lot going for it. The story is a mistaken identity plot, identical twins, one a Episcopal deacon, the other a con man switch places and learn about each other's lives. The cheesy plot works and David A.R. White is a solid lead actor.

When it comes to DVD releases however, it is common to see "unrated" versions. This means the film has been recut and distributed without MPAA review. While being reviewed by the MPAA isn't that big of a deal, what this can lead to is studios and distributors playing a game of bait and switch with parents.<br /><br />A producer makes a film and has all kinds of sexual content or violence. To avoid the R-Rating, and therefore reducing their potential box office receipts, the producer edits down the harsher content to get under the bar and achieve the more lucrative PG-13 Rating. Follow its run in theaters, the producer then reinserts all of the harsher content and then releases the "unrated version". This contains all of the filth left out and thus makes the film worthy of an R or in some cases an NC-17 rating. The parents can be fooled into thinking the film is appropriate for their teen since they still identify it with the original PG-13 rating. <br /><br />To make things worse, what the distributors and producers are doing is playing off people's weaknesses. Comedies will commonly advertise on their boxes additional "uncut" scenes that intentionally seems to offer soft porn content. In effect, since this is geared towards teens, it plays off their lust to drive sales.<br /><br />Parents of teens, be careful of unrated DVDs, some are more than they appear. <p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/GoodNewsFilmReviews?a=7xeXBS"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/GoodNewsFilmReviews?i=7xeXBS" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/GoodNewsFilmReviews?a=s62ReK"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/GoodNewsFilmReviews?i=s62ReK" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/GoodNewsFilmReviews?a=G7ibHk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/GoodNewsFilmReviews?i=G7ibHk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/GoodNewsFilmReviews?a=JrhM5K"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/GoodNewsFilmReviews?i=JrhM5K" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/GoodNewsFilmReviews/~4/369210582" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/GoodNewsFilmReviews/~3/369210582/movie-watching-tip-unrated-films.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Scott Nehring)http://www.goodnewsfilmreviews.com/2008/08/movie-watching-tip-unrated-films.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33861011.post-7185273717451516045Tue, 19 Aug 2008 14:00:00 +00002008-08-19T09:09:07.872-05:00movie reviewzombieWill Smithfilm<div style="text-align: center;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Should I see it?</span><br />Yes.<br /></div><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Short Review:</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> It has zombies, how bad can it be?<br /><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;font-family:arial;"><span style=""><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013FDM7E?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=nehringtheedg-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B0013FDM7E"><img src="http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e234/Nehring/31Djmcv8nL_AA_SL160_.jpg" border="0" /></a></span><span style=""><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=nehringtheedg-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B0013FDM7E" alt="" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" border="0" height="1" width="1" /></span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">***Spoiler Warning***</span><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">This could have been a brilliant film. As it stands, its still a darn good one. Don't fool yourself, this is big, sloppy, McMovie and the is plenty that doesn't stand up to close scrutiny. So, if you're someone who notices things like that if the zombies are capable of setting traps they would have been doing so already to catch food and wouldn't have cannibalized their fellow man out of starvation, then you should be just fine.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;">Will Smith is precisely the right guy to lead this film. He's a solid lead actor and is capable of managing most of the film on his own. He engenders interest and sympathy as Robert Neville, a military scientist who is apparently the last man on earth after a cure for cancer goes sour and either kills the population or turns them into raging zombies. Smith's charisma carries the first half of the film where he is alone in the world with his dog. As the story picks up and the zombies are introduced his natural talent handling scenes where he is in peril is displayed. The other actors in the film are passable and fail to compete with Smith's performance. This isn't to imply Smith created a memorable piece of acting, the other roles are simply underwritten and were designed to make them into talking props. Even when the film is populated with multiple human characters it is still all about Neville.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Director Francis Lawrence (the man responsible for the unwatchable </span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://nehring.blogspot.com/2005/07/constantine-2005_29.html"><span style="font-style: italic;">Constantine</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;">), manages the first half of the film well and sets up the destruction of mankind in effective flashbacks. Once the other characters, a woman and a small boy, are introduced the film stumbles a little. Their time together is so brief and lacking of any depth that the relationships never emerge. The woman and kid show up and that night the zombies attack. Its over before it begins. Also missing is the sense that Neville has been utterly alone for years. His first interactions with other humans is oddly handled. He throws a fit, which is an interesting reaction, but it isn't played as an ironic reaction, it comes off more as bad writing. This mixed with the brief respite before the zombies attack saps the film of some potentially vibrant character development.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The other downside of the film is the zombies themselves. They're infected humans who have been turned into growling, frantic rage-machines. In the original book by Richard Matheson, the infected speak to him from the darkness, he actually recognizes one of them as being his old friend. This interaction sets up a great dramatic tension that could have been played out with great effect in this production. They chose to ignore this in favor of having the infected be faceless ghouls. This choice drains the film of some key tools to drive any symbolism and/or dramatic tension. The idea of Neville being called after as he tries to get home in time, or having the infected attempt to lure him out at night seems like cinematic gold. The irony of his never ending loneliness being interrupted every night by the voices of the undead calling for his blood could have been riveting. As it stands, we're stuck with pale, bald growlers. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Overall, the film succeeds, but it could have been far better. As a McMovie, it entertains, retains a worthy message and closes with a satisfying conclusion. Yes, I'm one of the few critics who think this film ended well. Actually, the ending is nearly perfect from my point-of-view. Neville's Christ-like sacrifice and the prominent images of the church at the end of the movie are well-placed and make an important point. The original ending, the one in the final film is an alternative that was thankfully inserted, had Neville and the zombies coming to terms. Neville gives up the girl zombie to the head zombie guy who holds her gently. This original ending is the typical moral-relativist conclusion we see these days. This ending would have spoiled the sin and redemption through blood concepts so vividly displayed in the final close. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Should you see it? Sure. Particularly if you've ever sat through </span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" >The Omega Man</span><span style="font-family:arial;">, the embarrassing Charlton Heston version of the same story. For all of the faults of this production, it didn't make the zombies into nonsense babbling hippies.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Cautions: </span><span style="font-family:arial;">It has zombies so there's plenty of violence. The violence is rather subdued and there isn't much gore. The language is rather tame as well.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Worldview:</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> Exceedingly rare in Hollywood films is not only the mention of God by name but the instruction that he is concerned for humanity and works with us directly. Normally Hollywood deals with issues of faith in neutered language that fails to reveal any real conviction to anything real. This film stunningly breaks from that tradition. While Neville drives through an abandoned New York he casually passes a sign that reads "God still loves us". Presumptively, he has been passing by this obtuse sign of hope everyday since the apocalypse destroyed his world. This reminder of the endearing love God shows for his creation didn't make it into the film by accident. This is also the case with Neville's picture of himself on a magazine cover citing him as a "savior". The film sets Neville to be a surrogate Christ-figure, but one that has been distracted. He has been flummoxed by the apocalypse because he has insisted on seeing the devastation through the eyes of the material, through science. Employing science while ignoring the governing hand of God is like completing a jigsaw puzzle upside down. You can figure out how the pieces fit together but you're missing the beauty and function of the design. Neville struggles to find a man-made cure for the infection (sin) but is unable. When Neville finds Anna (who is reminiscent of the prophetess</span> from Luke 36-38<span style="font-family:arial;">). She tells him that God still exists and that "he has a plan". Of course, meaning a plan to eradicate the infection/sin. In the end, Neville sacrifices himself and gives the cure for the infection/sin derived from his own blood, again he is a Christ-figure,</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> </span><span style="font-family:arial;">to Anna who witnesses his sacrificial death. She then travels to a sanctuary where she closes the film telling of how Neville and his blood cure was indeed the savior of humanity.</span><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><span style="font-family:arial;"> The Christian overtones to the film are unmistakable and wonderfully woven in without being to heavy-handed. Pay attention Christian filmmakers, the inclusion of faith is exactly how it should be done. Faith plays a critical role in the production but doesn't consume it, God is involved but the narrative doesn't turn into a Bible-banging sermon. Its amazing what a little subtlety can do.</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Click below to view the trailer</span></span><br /></div><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.goodnewsfilmreviews.com/2007/05/movie-trailer-i-am-legend.html"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 480px; height: 199px;" src="http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e234/Nehring/aph_7.jpg" alt="Will Smith I am Legend" title="Will Smith I am Legend movie trailer" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> </span><br /><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Related Review:</span><br /><a href="http://www.goodnewsfilmreviews.com/2008/04/omega-man-1971.html">Omega Man (1971)</a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Other Critic's Reviews:</span></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" > </span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><a href="http://www.monstersandcritics.com/movies/reviews/article_1381106.php">Monsters and Critics</a><br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" > </span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.rollingstone.com/reviews/movie/11087025/review/17652636/i_am_legend"><span style="font-size:85%;">Rolling Stone</span><br /></a> <p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/GoodNewsFilmReviews?a=85sFG8"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/GoodNewsFilmReviews?i=85sFG8" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/GoodNewsFilmReviews?a=Ta8wbK"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/GoodNewsFilmReviews?i=Ta8wbK" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/GoodNewsFilmReviews?a=WErQGk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/GoodNewsFilmReviews?i=WErQGk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/GoodNewsFilmReviews?a=6v8h3K"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/GoodNewsFilmReviews?i=6v8h3K" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/GoodNewsFilmReviews/~4/369071476" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/GoodNewsFilmReviews/~3/369071476/i-am-legend-2007.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Scott Nehring)http://www.goodnewsfilmreviews.com/2008/08/i-am-legend-2007.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33861011.post-7000988736967148151Mon, 18 Aug 2008 23:00:00 +00002008-08-18T18:00:00.385-05:00basketballmovie reviewGene Hackmansports moviefilmDennis Hopper<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Should I see it?</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Yes.</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0792843592?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=nehringtheedg-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0792843592"><img src="http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e234/Nehring/0792843592.jpg" border="0" /></a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=nehringtheedg-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0792843592" alt="" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" border="0" height="1" width="1" /><br /><br /></div><span style="font-family:arial;">Maybe the best sports film of all time.

He sets out to right that wrong to wipe the slate clean and then experiences a "spiritual awakening".<br /><br />I wonder if his "spiritual awakening" is that karma is bunk. Or that even if karma exists it doesn't resolve itself and ends up being a never ending back and forth that can't logically be supported.<br /><br />The trailer itself is disjointed. It most of it avoids mentioning the man's terrible deed, to the point of being distracting. Then they drop in what he's done and it spoils the mystery. The filmmakers have not been well served by this piece of marketing.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.rippleeffectthemovie.com/">Visit the official site</a><br

Hollywood when you can stop acting and no one complains. Travolta has been too busy for the past ten years to take the time to get into character. Once again, we are treated to his “Guy In Charge” role. You know this guy from <span style="font-style: italic;">The General’s Daughter</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Swordfish</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Basic</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Broken Arrow </span>among others. Producers pay this guy millions to show up, wear collars that emphasis the thickness of his neck and prattle his lines with a emotional vocabulary usually reserved for comic books.<br /><br />This movie is so predictable it doesn’t even count as a paint-by-numbers plot. The math involved in painting by numbers is too intelligent for this melodramatic stew. I loathe movies like this. They are so unoriginal I get headaches trying to citing all of the other films this movie pulls from. There are some very talented people involved here – including Travolta (the reason I complain about his acting is because he’s shown he can do far better and doesn’t seem to be trying,) and they are all wasted on this heap.<br /><br />Now that I have done enough snarling to cement the idea I didn’t like this film, I should point out some of the brighter points. This movie does show blue-collar people as real humans with lives. This is worth noting since Hollywood goofballs usually are in a rush to slam middle class folk as mouth-breathing dimwits. This film respects its characters and does not mock their “normal” lives. The filmmakers understand that while firefighters will never be rich or famous, they are vital to their communities. They deserve the same admiration we reserve for the military or police. The filmmakers also took great care to try to show the life of a firefighter. While it was clumsily handled in many areas, I liked the fact they made the effort.<br /><br />In closing I can’t recommend this all too common movie. There is hardly anything new here in regards to the plot. Many people who can watch films without a critical eye (and I am often jealous of that ability,) will enjoy this flick. This movie is not worth the rental – if you see it on cable, check it out if you’re bored. Worst case scenario, you can make a drinking game out of it. Take a shot every time you see John Travolta looking at his watch, waiting for his scene to end so he can cash his fat paycheck.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Related Reviews:</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;">John Travolta films</span><br /><a href="http://nehring.blogspot.com/2007/06/get-shorty-1995.html">Get Shorty (1995)</a><br /><a href="http://nehring.blogspot.com/2005/06/be-cool-2005.html">Be Cool (2005)</a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Other Critic's Reviews:</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="http://movies.zertinet.com/2004/ladder49.htm">Zertinet Reviews</a><br /><a href="http://www.geocities.com/moviecritic.geo/reviews/l/ladder49.html">Silver Screen Reviews</a></span><br /><br /><br /></span> <p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/GoodNewsFilmReviews?a=CV0pGr"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/GoodNewsFilmReviews?i=CV0pGr" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/GoodNewsFilmReviews?a=j2SbzK"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/GoodNewsFilmReviews?i=j2SbzK" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/GoodNewsFilmReviews?a=j4p6wk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/GoodNewsFilmReviews?i=j4p6wk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/GoodNewsFilmReviews?a=s4sSvK"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/GoodNewsFilmReviews?i=s4sSvK" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/GoodNewsFilmReviews/~4/368137940" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/GoodNewsFilmReviews/~3/368137940/ladder-49-2004.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Scott Nehring)http://www.goodnewsfilmreviews.com/2008/08/ladder-49-2004.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33861011.post-924611589465607190Mon, 18 Aug 2008 02:00:00 +00002008-08-17T21:00:01.080-05:00movie trailerTakashi MiikefilmQuentin Tarantino<span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" >Well, it looks like stupid has a new name.<br /><br />Actually, director Takashi Miike has been making crap for a very long time. It says something that his marketing begins with Quintin Tarantino claiming he's one of the greatest directors today - particularly since Tarantino is actually in the movie. I'm great - no I am, just ask my employee. Miike makes hyper violent flicks that are extremely low on morality. He's influenced torture porn producers like Tarantino and Eli Roth among others with his films that celebrate gore and extreme cruelty. Even by Miike's low standards, this production looks cheesy and downright moronic.<br /><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><object height="333" width="520"><param name="movie" value="http://www.traileraddict.com/emb/5786"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.traileraddict.com/emb/5786" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="transparent" height="333" width="520"></embed></object><br /></div><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" ><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" ><a href="http://www.goodnewsfilmreviews.com/2007/03/movie-trailer-list.html">Return to the Movie Trailer Page</a></span><br /></div> <span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" ><br /><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><br /><span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Screenwriter:</span> Takashi Miike (</span></span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" >The Great Hobgoblin War</span></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><span>) and Masa Nakamura (</span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" >4.6 Billion Years of Love</span></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><span>)</span><br /><span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Director:</span> Takashi Miike (<span style="font-style: italic;">Three...Extremes</span>)</span><br /><span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Actors:</span> Hideaki Ito (</span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" >The Princess Blade</span></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><span>), Kaori Momoi (<span style="font-style: italic;">Love and Honor</span>), Yusuke Iseya (<span style="font-style: italic;">Blindness</span>) and Yoshino Kimura (<span style="font-style: italic;">Blindness</span>)</span></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><span></span> </span> <p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/GoodNewsFilmReviews?a=3xroIB"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/GoodNewsFilmReviews?i=3xroIB" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/GoodNewsFilmReviews?a=c6sfTK"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/GoodNewsFilmReviews?i=c6sfTK" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/GoodNewsFilmReviews?a=VrT5Jk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/GoodNewsFilmReviews?i=VrT5Jk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/GoodNewsFilmReviews?a=knHU5K"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/GoodNewsFilmReviews?i=knHU5K" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/GoodNewsFilmReviews/~4/367699093" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/GoodNewsFilmReviews/~3/367699093/movie-trailer-sukiyaki-western-django.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Scott Nehring)http://www.goodnewsfilmreviews.com/2008/08/movie-trailer-sukiyaki-western-django.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33861011.post-7985003112912434643Sun, 17 Aug 2008 21:00:00 +00002008-08-17T16:00:00.601-05:00Kerry Washingtonmovie trailerfilmSamuel L JacksonPatrick Wilson<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">Samuel L. Jackson plays a cop who threatens his new neighbors. The film asks the question who do you call if it's the police who is harassing you.<br /><br />That would be:<br /><br />A lawyer, then the media, then the cop's boss. Problem solved - no movie needed.<br /><br />Seriously, there is nothing more boring than watching neighbors arguing on film.

Taking it on its own, it is a remarkable film, expertly shot and acted. It has dated somewhat but mostly because its been copied so many times it seems tired now. Culturally speaking, this is a critical film since it really brought a different kind of film to American audiences. Prior to this more European flavors weren't really seen on American screens.

Anna Faris is a sharp comedic actress. Her stints in the <span style="font-style: italic;">Scary Movie</span> flicks have marked her as a deliverer of cheap comedy, but she is better than that content. The plot is pretty straight-forward, a Playboy Bunny moves in with some losers in a sorority everyone learns important life lessons. This isn't meant to be Oscar material.
