Inside Man/Slither/The Sentinel/Basic Instinct 2

More Movie Reviews (I told you was waaaaaay behind. I'll make these quick)

Inside Man



Loved it, saw it twice. Wished every movie I saw was as entertaing and involving as this. I'm good friends with the production designer, Wynn Thomas, but he doesn't read my blog and he wouldn't give two shits wether I liked it or not. But I really, really did love it. I saw it twice so there you go. It's just so damned entertaining.

I have a horrible confession to make, a shocking confession. It's the first Spike Lee movie I've ever seen. I'm not sure why, I've just never seen one. I know about them, i feel like I've seen them, I can describe them but I've never actually seen one. After i post this blog I'm gonna go add a bunch of Spike Lee movies to my Netflix list. Oh wait, i have seen a Spike Lee film, I saw Bamboozled. Anyway, I can't imagine anyone not liking Inside Man. It's incredibly entertaing.

Also, it's wonderfully ironic watching Christopher plummer play a part that is the antithesis to the part he played in Sound of Music.

And Jodie Foster is in this movie, too, looking sexier and smarter than ever. I love watching Jodie Foster. Her performance in Silence of the Lambs is my favorite performance by a film actress.

Slither

Oh Lord, do I love movies like this. Look at the pics above and tell me this doesn't look entertaining! I could see stuff like this every week. Creatures from outer space come to Earth and try and destroy white-trash-middle Americans. More, sir, can I please have some more!

The Sentinel

The most interesting thing I can say about the Sentinel is this.

I had to move to the LAST row of the theater just to watch the film. The editing was so erratic and the close-ups so off-putting that I couldn't absorb the film except from the last row. I was getting physically ill watching it from my usual seat. And I have NEVER had that happen before! EVER! As per the movie, did you see the very well made In The Line of Fire with Clint Eastwood, well I think The Sentinel could have been as good if Clint Eastwood had directed it but alas he did not. Oh well.

Basic instinct 2

Oh, where to start? I know of no one who saw this movie but I! Oh Sharon. I can't criticize this movie. It gave me pleasure. It made me laugh. It turned me on, a little. I don't pity Sharon Stone, either. She was very good in a movie I saw on DVD recently called Broken Flowers. She can act when she wants to or is forced to but this movie is something else. It's a fashion show, it's a soap opera, it's a cross between Agatha Christie and porn. It's entertaining. You'll see it on DVD or HBO and you'll see what I mean, trust me. I can't wait for Basic Instinct 3, 4 and 5.
