The Omega Code (1999)
Should I see it?
No.
Playing off of millennial end times paranoia, this laughable film about the rise of the antichrist is a goofy embarrassment. Films such as this are the reason “Christian film” has a bad rap. Poor film making fueled by poor theology = poor audience members.No.
Ironically, sitting through this Christian film is a little slice of hell.

Movie Trailer: Happy-Go-Lucky
If this movie is about a happy person, it will be annoying and I wish it a horrible death at the box office. If it is about happiness (there's a difference), then more power to them. The whole film really rides on Sally Hawkins' performance of course. If she's grating the thing will fall flat.

Movie Trailer: Deja Vu
While forgettable, or at least forgotten, this is a solid production. As far as pulp Hollywood fare is concerned, this satisfies. Its smart enough to make you think you're not wasting your time while being dumb enough to forget about right after you're done.

Movie Trailer: Ashes of Time Redeux
Kar Wai Wong (2046) reworks his film Ashes of Time. The original was apparently a disappointment and this is his shot at cleaning up his record. I haven't seen the original and by the looks of this it appears to be traditional current Chinese fare - heavy on the beautiful cinematography, light on character development and narrative punch. Here's to hoping he's fixed the issues found in the first version and delivers a great film.

Primary Colors (1998)
Should I see it?
No.
Interesting when it was released during the Clinton years, the piece is dated and useless now. John Travolta in the lead role as a Clintonesque presidential nominee is passable. The meat of the piece comes from good supporting performances by Kathy Bates, Emma Thompson and Billy Bob Thornton. A mere curiosity now, there's little reason to drag this thing out at this point.No.

Short Review: It has zombies, how bad can it be?
***Spoiler Warning***
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.
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.
Director Francis Lawrence (the man responsible for the unwatchable Constantine), 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.
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.
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.
Should you see it? Sure. Particularly if you've ever sat through The Omega Man, 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.
Cautions: 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.
Worldview: 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 from Luke 36-38). 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, 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. 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.

Hoosiers (1986)
Should I see it?
Yes.
Maybe the best sports film of all time. Following the rise of a small town basketball team, this film inspires and entertains. Gene Hackman gives a top notch performance as the troubled head coach Norman Dale. An absolute must-see for anyone who loves sports.Yes.

Movie Trailer: The Haunting of Molly Hartley
You can turn this trailer into a Christian drinking game. Every time you see something completely theologically unsound take a drink. Since it's a Christian drinking game everyone will be guzzling soda and getting a sugar high instead of getting drunk.
There's nothing worse than a room full of giddy Christians hopped up on high-fructose corn syrup.
Seriously though, this thing just looks dumb - granted, it's target audience is dumb so it just may make a couple of bucks at the box office.

Movie Trailer: Ripple Effect
Written, directed by and starring Philippe Caland, this film tells the tale of a man who fears his life is condemned by bad karma for an awful act he committed in his past. He sets out to right that wrong to wipe the slate clean and then experiences a "spiritual awakening".
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.
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.

Ladder 49 (2004)
Should I see it?
No.
No.
Short Review: The cool thing about casting John Travolta is that it sets the bar low enough so no one else in the production need to bother trying.
You know you’ve really made it in 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 The General’s Daughter, Swordfish, Basic, Broken Arrow 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.
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.
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.
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.

Movie Trailer: Sukiyaki Western Django
Well, it looks like stupid has a new name.
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.

Movie Trailer: Lakeview Terrance
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.
That would be:
A lawyer, then the media, then the cop's boss. Problem solved - no movie needed.
Seriously, there is nothing more boring than watching neighbors arguing on film. Why not just have a film about a couple of kids not getting along in study hall?

Movie Trailer: Bonnie and Clyde
A historic and influential film, today it plays a little flat because its been copied so many times. 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. This film, while it didn't have a huge initial run at the box office, changed that.

Movie Trailer: Elite Squad (Tropa De Elite)
This trailer gives me motion sickness. If this is any indication of the camera work in the film overall, epileptics should avoid this movie like the plague. Between the flashing and quick editing you'll be seized up in minutes.
Even though this looks like some grainy pro-fascist paramilitary film it probably has more depth than one may think. Written by Bráulio Mantovani, I'm sure this will have some potent scenes and tense situations. The movie follows the men of Rio de Janeiro's BOPE (Special Police Operation Battalion) as they move to clear a slum of drug dealers prior to the Pope's visit in 1997. I'm looking forward to another trailer so I can get a better feel for the movie.

Movie Trailer: The House Bunny
This may looks like a stupid, bubble-headed flick, but I bet there's a little more here than many would think. Anna Faris is a sharp comedic actress. Her stints in the Scary Movie 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. The film will be a enjoyable but disposable distraction.

Movie Trailer: Full Battle Rattle
In and out of theaters in a flash, and raking in $12,000 in cold hard cash at the box office this documentary about a military simulation of Iraq looks interesting. From what I understand, its very even handed, a rare quality in documentaries dealing with the Iraq War, which is probably why it didn't have more steam at the box office.
Honestly, $12k? Heck, that's only $12,000 more than I made at the box office this year and I didn't even release anything.
