Without A Clue

August 23rd, 2008

So we all agree that Michael Caine rocks as Alfred in Nolan’s Batman films.  But beyond his portrayal as comic book’s famous butler, Mr. Cain’s film portfolio is deep.
He’s has been in some fantastic and some not so fantastic movies.
One of his better performances is as Sherlock Holmes in the comedy, Without A Clue.  The [...]

Explorers

August 23rd, 2008

If you want to see a young Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix then look no further than the sleeper movie - Explorers.
This is a quirky Sci-fi flick that does have some bright spots and for some reason is one of my favorite movies.
Explorers is about three boys who start having the same dreams about [...]

Bottle Rocket

August 20th, 2008

This is one of my favorite flicks.  I’m a big Wes Anderson fan and Bottle Rocket is his first and best film (in my opinion).
The story follows some young Gen Xers looking to impress a local mob boss.  That’s about it!  The plot is simple and full of Wes Anderson quirkiness.
There is a simplicity in [...]

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen

August 20th, 2008

Terry Gilliam  gets a lot of flack.
Personally I think he is one of the greatest visionaries of our time.  Maybe I just have a soft spot for people who think outside of the box and don’t conform to conventional ways.
If you are familiar with Mr. Gilliam’s work then you know his films can be a [...]

Silverado

August 20th, 2008

I’ve noticed that the western is somewhat making a comeback.
Credit must be given to films like Unforgiven and 3:10 to Yuma for breathing life back into this lost genre.  Its easy to classify the classic western with relics like John Wayne and Clint Eastwood.  Good in their own right but the movies they star in [...]
