The movie All About Steve can be summed up with a quick quip; It’s “Sandra Bullock on Crank.†The movie starts out with an absolutely great beginning that had me laughing at every turn, but midway though the film Bullock’s character becomes very annoying and the film spirals downward to it’s barely credible predictable ending.
It’s a bit drawn out, wicked and artsy, but I just couldn’t be sympathetic enough to like Lorna’s Silence. The film would be great for an audience that likes a riveting tale of a challenging life, except this one just doesn’t make the grade.
I have always been a big fan of the Final Destination movies and now seeing the latest release in 3D I’m even more impressed. In 3D everything in The Final Destination is tripled; the horror, suspense, gore, terror and panic. Whether you are a shock freak or just a lover of horror fiction this film should knock your socks off.
Ang Lee hits the mark with this excellent adaptation of Taking Woodstock from the memoirs of Elliot Tiber. Lee takes us back to that magical event in 1969 like no one has ever done before. I loved the way he got me involved in the storyline from the very beginning to his inevitable ending. Cool and groovy man!
