Someone wanted to know what I thought of T-Salv. Instead of going into an intricately woven review of all my thoughts, I think I'll just give you the short and skinny.
Christian Bale makes John Connor into the most unlikeable character. Boring, uninspired, haggard and completely unheroic (plus he can't help but continually slip in "I'm Batman" voice). But to offset this less than pleasing rendition of Connor, McG made him barely a lead character. All focus is on Humanator, Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington) and his performance was not that bad.
Also, the whole, "I'm John Connor, and I have a plan... but I'm not going to tell you what it is or give you sufficient reason to do what I say" thing really didn't fly with me.
Despite the film's focus on heart, and what it means to have one, the film has... none. The connection to the rest of the franchise is practically non-existent.
Worthington had serious difficulty trying to cover his hefty Australian accent
Anton Yelchin was pretty decent (plus he does look a lot like the original Kyle), but why his little girl counterpart was necessary, I have no idea.
The Plot was so miniscule, it should have made up one good action scene instead of basing the whole film on it. The whole thing feels like half a movie, if that.
Bryce Dallas Howard has 2 lines in the film. Seriously, why even bother casting a Kate.
Oh Right, they cast her to show that even through all that time travel, Connor's swimmers still work.
Arnold's CGI cameo was actually slightly impressive.
On the other hand, Arnold's cameo scene is a replica of the climax in the original Terminator. Lazy.
Rapper Common's in the film. I would elaborate, but he doesn't do jack
Helena Bonham Carter? WHAT? Go back to Tim Burton sweetie, you don't belong here.
That cliff scene where Connor tests out "the signal" was all too reminiscent of Frodo and Samwise chilling in Mordor (sp?).
The most predictable and infuriating ending in the world.
The biggest issue for me is that they gave away the whole "surprise" of Marcus being part human and part terminator away in the trailer, and that's their big twist! If you've seen the trailer, then the the film is just an unnecessary $10.75.
Lasting impressions: The whole thing was a McStake.
Thank god for small favors. Yelchin made things tolerable (go Star Trek!)
First time Director Derick Martini had a million and a half dollar budget, 22 days to shoot, and Alec Baldwin to contend with... for this alone the man deserves an Oscar. Even beyond that, we in attendance at the Q&A with Martini and Baldwin were treated to some of their stories from financing hell, including their "business meeting" deep in Pennsylvania with a Queue tip entrepreneur, who backed out on his million dollar check last minute. Alec's response, "We poked his eyes out with some queue tips." But somehow, through all the scheduling conflicts, Martini's panic attacks, and an unfortunate situation with pot brownies, the film came together beautifully. Written by Derick and his brother Steven (who also composed the score), Lymelife is a personal story depicting both real and fictionalized events from their childhood growing up in Long Island. Rory, the youngest Culkin, leads the cast quietly with his sad blue eyes (one of Martini's favorite things to shoot) as Scott. Baldwin described Rory as, "a blank canvas, both onscreen and in real life." This allowed for the audience to project onto him whatever they wanted to see. Despite my initial concern that his opaqueness wouldn't be strong enough to hold the film together, Rory truly impressed me and had a strong unexpected likability. Through Culkin's fresh appeal and Baldwin's star quality/powerhouse performance, Lymelife makes it way to being one of my favorite films of '09 yet.
The story, set in '70's, follows Star Wars obsessed Scott, who has been infatuated with neighbor and teen dream Adrianna (Emma Roberts), since he was 8. Now as he borders on becoming a man, his fantasies start to get the better of him and their platonic relationship begins to escalate. Due to a Lymes Disease outbreak, paranoia begins to spread through the area, primarily due to the diagnosis of Adrianna's father, Charlie (played by Timothy Hutton). Hutton stalks the screen in a way we've never seen him before, disheveled, manic and terrifying, portraying a man whose lost everything, however we're not quite sure to what degree he cares about this loss. Due to Charlie's illness, wife Melissa (Cynthia Nixon) has been forced to go out and work for Scott's father, Mickey (Baldwin). As is expected, their work relationship transgresses into a sexual one. Scott's mother, Brenda (Jill Hennessy) spends her mornings taping around the openings of his clothes in an attempt to guard against ticks, and spends her nights degraded by a adulterous husband, whose American Dream of becoming a millionaire is rapidly picking up speed. To top it all off, Scott's older brother Jimmy (Kieran Culkin) returns home for a visit from the army, revealing the deep sited issues that have been plaguing the family for years, and becoming the catalyst for finally addressing them. There is very little plot to speak of, but this film is about moments and characters, making plot secondary and considerably less important. You become invested in these people because of their relatability and once meeting Martini, I trusted him implicitly to do right by the story and the audience. With the exception of Nixon, all of the performances are outstanding, showing new depth and possibility for newcomers Rory and Emma, renewing interest in talented Kieran, and reminding us just how damn talented Baldwin and Hutton are.
The pacing is beautiful and tension filled with only a few minor missteps Martini might have avoided with more experience under his belt (most notably the downward spiral of Scott's mom is too quick), overall the film has a clear vision and direction that come through. Baldwin made a clear point of telling that audience that over the span of his long and often rocky career, he's met plenty of directors who've made no difference in the film or his life. But when he met Martini he instantly felt a connection (and not just because they both have younger brothers named Steven). "Derick is special" he said, "and I think that comes through in the film." The family dynamic feels so close to home, it's a step away from reality t.v., not to mention the painfully truthful look at first love and all its awkward entanglements. Scott and Adrianna's entertaining and innocent attempt at romance is counteracted by the parent's disintegrated relationships. Even when faced with two examples of failure, the kids somehow remain optimistic about their chances at love.
Though the humor wasn't quite as biting, Lymelife reminded me a lot of Igby Goes Down (and not just because it had middle Culkin in it). Both stories cover a typical American problem, the disenchantment of children with their parents. "With kids, the last thing you lose is their respect" says Baldwin, and this film villainizes the parents as responsible for their disillusionment. The most explosive scene in the film between Baldwin and Hennessy is jaw droppingly brilliant. Baldwin's character Mickey blatantly throws his affairs in the face of his wife and family, he neglects to realize that these actions may lose him his children. It's too late for him to win back Jimmy having pushed him too far for too long, but by the end of the film, Mickey makes an earnest attempt at reclaiming his fatherly role with Scott. While I am not one of them, this is something that so many kids go through with their parents, and whether they want it to or not, these events shape them into the relationship phobic, emotionally crippled people that populate our society today. Cynical Martini knows this and yet he opted for optimism, and for this I thank him. He somehow manages to keep hope alive, even when it seems lost.
Though we're left with an ambiguously dark ending (there were originally two endings, and for anyone who's already seen the film I'd be happy to talk to you about them both), the film makes no qualms about it's point. It's not about the end but about moments. First love, first encounter with family decay, first fist fight, first time getting high, and first Lymes Disease break out, these are what matter. Martini's job isn't to belabor these points, but to bring us back to our own first moments. For a directorial debut, this is more than admirable, this is phenomenal. I loved every moment and look forward to Martini making more firsts.

It's likely that James Gray'sTwo Lovers would have gotten a lot less attention had it not been for Joaquin Phoenix's sudden downward spiral, lengthy beard, and subsequent turn to the rap industry, but beyond the Phoenix press fest, this is actually a film worth your attention.
When the lights dim we meet distraught, jilted Leonard (Phoenix), now living with his loving, compassionate parents in their Brooklyn apartment, and working for his father's dry cleaning business. Our introduction to him is leaden to say the least (I don't want to give much away), but it makes for an impactful opening sequence. One of the bigger problems with the film was actually the transition from this turbulent beginning (leading you down a certain road of expectation) into a lighter, comical side of Leonard. He's slightly schizophrenic, bouncing between exuberant, energetic charm and nervous, depressed tension. While this doesn't necessarily fit with his character, it is in keeping with Phoenix himself. Through much of the film you are treated to Leonard's constant mumbling and gum chewing, which all feel eerily familiar if you've seen the Letterman interview. These Leonard vs. Phoenix overlaps in character distracted me at first, but once the film got rolling, I was able to forget about Phoenix and focus on the pure, humble story at hand.
At the moment he needs it most, Leonard meets a woman, two actually. Sandra, played by Vinessa Shaw (you might remember her from Ladybugs way back in the day) is sweet, sincere and very down to earth. She and Leonard are introduced by their parents at a dinner party, and her attraction to him is immediate, bordering on forward. From their first meeting it's clear that they have a chemistry, but he isn't stunned by her presence, and treats her from the start like an alternate player with potential. Shaw really stuck with me in this part. She is one of the highlights of the film, standing back as the demure brunette, shyly beautiful with sunken eyes (enhanced by make-up), and eagerly waiting for Leonard to make a move. Her quiet calming presence mirror's Leonard's mother (excellently played by Isabella Rossellini). She is there for him, to understand and to wait patiently for his affection. At no point do we see them fight or argue, all she wants is to take care of him. Shaw, who has a history of playing cinematic vixens in the past, shows her ability to do more than just flaunt what's on the surface. The antithesis to Shaw's Sandra, is the bubbly blonde Michelle, played by former Hollywood Princess GwynethPaltrow. Leonard and Michelle meet as she hides out from her angry boyfriend. Tall, beautiful and damaged, Leonard falls for Michelle without hesitancy, instantly star struck. As she's busy rambling on about her ADHD, he's busy worshipping the ground she treads and planning their future. This clearly is a girl who's been inundated with male attention all her life, and has no qualms with encouraging the infatuation. When they part ways, any thoughts of Sandra still lingering in his mind have disappeared and been replaced with fantasies of unattainable Michelle. Paltrow, who's been noticeably absent from films since starting her family, returns to the big screen in Two Lovers ready to work, but a little out of practice. Granted her character is supposed to be a disaster, between her involvement with her married boss and frequent drug habit, but Paltrow still played her with less subtly that she could have. Despite the heavy handed performance, Paltrow remains as mesmerizing as ever on screen. She's played the manipulative blonde gazelle before in Great Expectations, but this time instead of being unshakably cool, she's pathetically naive and desperate, haplessly dragging others down with her.
Leonard begins to move forward with both women, much to the dismay of his parents who clearly favor Jewish family friend Sandra. He goes after Michelle in friendship, being that's all he's allowed, and wills it to be more by showing up at opportune moments and always making himself available. He and Sandra begin a tentative romance, only pushed forward by her deep crush. Leonard doesn't push her away, but he can't fully commit either. Neither woman knows of the other's existence, and as the movie progresses both come to depend and put their faith in a torn Leonard. The film takes on a surprisingly thriller quality due to pacing, music, lighting and of course acting. You never quite know if things are as simple as they seem or if suddenly someone will turn up dead. For a romantic drama, it definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat, very reminiscent of Woody Allen's Match Point. Overall the cinematography is a little all over the place. Sometimes you feel like you're watching an arsty indie drama, and other times a mainstream romantic comedy. But there are some really lovely shots, especially in the scenes of Paltrow and Phoenix on the roof. I get the feeling that James Gray had a lot of ideas in his head for the look and feel of the film, and that sometimes he got his wires crossed a little. However it all really does come together in the end. The plot, the acting, the look all fits well enough, that instead of leaving the theater thinking more about the technical issues I would have changed, all I could think about were the characters and how much I wanted to know more about them. I loved the story and how well it showed all our idiosyncratic behaviors in times of attraction. Most people have had feelings for someone that didn't return them or maybe even led someone on because it felt good to be appreciated, and Two Lovers really takes the time to show how humorous, sad, or even ridiculous these interactions can be.
Short and Sweet
While there are some inconsistencies both in technical aspects and characterization, Two Lovers really takes hold of you from the very beginning and keeps you on the edge of your seat till the end. Joaquin Phoenix shows us the beginnings of his now infamous break down, and leaves us with what will be a memorable last performance (if it is indeed his last). Both Gwyneth Paltrow and Vinessa Shaw are wonderful female counterparts, aptly playing the roles of "angel" and "devil" to Phoenix's lost soul. The film ultimately falls more into the indie drama category, and leaves the audience with a lot to ponder about human interaction, and how one goes from here to a rapping career.
Today was my official "bad movie" day, but a funny thing happened... neither movie was all that bad. Sure one movie was about 3 teen brother rock stars who perform in 3D and pretend they won't have sex till marriage, and the other was about a teen race car driver in candyland... but when it comes down to it, they were both enjoyable, and who can argue with that?
Brotherly Love - Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience
Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience was quite an experience from the beginning. Arriving at the theater, if you were over 2 ft tall, you already stuck out like a sore thumb. And if you weren't wearing a Jonas Brothers t-shirt, squealing uncontrollably, or touting a Chastity belt (sorry, ring), then forget about it, you were just really uncool. So why did I go? Because I knew it would be laughable amounts of fun, and it was just that, from the beginning.
Nick (16), Joe (19) and Kevin (21) are three brothers who hit the big time not too long ago with their breathy, bordering on whiny, poppy pop act, and have continued to make teenage girls faint and hyperventilate hysterically in droves ever since. These days they are considered gods, big enough to even warrant a spot on Barbara Walter's People of the Year special. They strut around NYC, amongst a myriad of other major cities, wearing incredibly metrosexual clothing and flaunting their commitment rings, bringing even the mothers of these weeping fans to ask, "what do you see in these guys?" Apart from the younger two's incredibly well sculpted arms, what they see in the Jonas Bros is the new ultimate female fantasy; the Beta male. What is a Beta male you ask? He's pretty much everything the Alpha male isn't. He's anywhere from a little to very nerdy (but in a cute way), he knows more about the computer and online social networking than he does about football or the stock market, he wears scarves, and he may even wear glasses. While the middle bro Joe has enough Alpha-ish charisma to go around for everyone, the youngest (the talent) and the oldest (the likely closeted awkward one) are quintessential Beta males, drawing girls in with their dreamy sensitive smiles that say "I'm here, and I care what you think or what you wear" (Kevin might even know what label it is).
On Friday the 27th, their 3Dimensionalized concert hit theaters and now if there was anyone out there who hadn't heard of the trio before, they damn well do now. I don't listen to their music in my car, or even on my iPod, but lord knows whenever I hear S.O.S. come on, I'm compelled to crank it up. They are just fun, and now it's even semi-cool to like them, even in my 20 something age bracket. In terms of the movie itself, here are some reasons why you may (or may not) want to see it:
They Actually, literally "Crunk" it out (you'll know what I mean when you see it)
They bare some skin (albeit briefly)
They point at you constantly and throw their pics in your face (the 3D makes this all actually quite alarming)
They do acrobatic jumps and flips that would make even the Olympic team proud
Big Rob makes a cameo appearance on stage
When they sing, it feels like they're singing just for you (That is a direct quote from the theater ladies room)
I'll understand if even after all of this, you still don't want to spend a disgusting $15 to go sit a theater with ray ban knock offs on your face, while listening to the impossible fantasies of 15 year olds, only to see a movie about the new Hanson. Seriously, I won't blame you if you skip it. But with that said, if you see it with the right people, in the right spirit, it can be a surprisingly jovial experience filled with laughter and love that will bond you and your viewing partner/s together for life.
Under no circumstances should you see it alone, unless you're just creepy.

A Race Car in Candyland - Speed Racer
Everything you've heard about Speed Racer is true, and I don't happen to think that's a bad thing. In fact, after reading A.O. Scott's disillusioned review, I thought, this might be a movie for me. My obsession with color and all things eyecandy has already been made abundantly clear, so when I heard there was a whole movie, created entirely around the concept of "bursting a giant bag of digital skittles," as Scott puts it, I immediately wanted to race (ha) over to the theater. But between whatever I had going on at the time, and a lack of funds to support the cost of an IMAX ticket for anything besides Dark Knight, I never made it there. Luckily for me the DVD has come down so drastically in price now, that I just bought the damn thing and had a little viewing party.
The film did everything I wanted it to, and nothing I didn't expect. For tender hearted fans of the original animated show, tread carefully, this is not what you remember from the '70's. Much of the old spirit of the cartoon, the wide-eyed innocence that you may be attached to, is gone and replaced with purple helicopters and rainbow roads. Speed Racer doesn't really have anything to do with heart beyond a cheesy attempt to show a loving '50's-esque family. It's all about how fast the cars go and how saturated the colors can possibly be. The movie offers nothing deep or profound, think of it more as a slide show from a Japanese video game arcade, which I think is an awesome premise for a film.
Emile Hirsch as "Speed" Racer doesn't particularly shine in the part, as he wasn't given much of a script to work with, But he's nice to look at, and besides, he's already proven his acting cred to me with roles in the amazing Into The Wild and The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (look for him this August in Ang Lee's Taking Woodstock). I don't think he takes anything away from the film, given that all the acting is sub-par, and ultimately not very important to your enjoyment. let's just say he squeaks by through managing to master the "I'm thinking about something serious face." Speed's girl, Trixie, played by a shockingly thin Christina Ricci pops up on screen wearing her signature pink barrettes, and says things like "you can do it Speed Racer!" Her presence in the movie is there only for their final kiss (which was fairly lame), and to stay true to the original characters. Truthfully, I wouldn't have noticed had she disappeared from the film altogether. Racer X, played by Matthew Fox of Lost Fame, is laughable, but then again I can only assume he's supposed to be. I don't know whether it's natural or if he's stuffing, but all done up in his leather/spandex racing suit, it's hard for your eyes not to travel southward to an embarrassingly prominent package. In any event, every line out of his mouth is a raging cliche, in fact, every line out of every one's mouth is a raging cliche. You can also find Susan Sarandon (how did they manage to snag her?), John Goodman, and Roger Allam (who you might recognize from V For Vendetta) as other various Speed Racer regulars. There's also a little brother played by Paulie Litt, who I can only imagine hails from Nickelodeon commercial land, and a chimp. Nothing too surprising there, if you're familiar with the show. The gist is that the characters don't end up seeming to matter to the Wachowski brothers as much as the graphics.
The plot also is secondary, apart from the fact that allows for the movie to showcase unbelievable video game inspired imagery for lots and lots of racing. Speed's natural racing instincts have made him a prime candidate for any racing company, bringing him offers from wealthy conglomerates like Royalton Industries, trying to woo him away from working for his father's small company. The story follows his battle for the win, and includes flashbacks from his younger years. Your eyes can't sit still for even a second without fear of missing something. So if you're looking for a good character piece, full of motivation and nostalgia, then Speed Racer is not for you. But if you're looking for Mario's Rainbow Road to come to life right before your very eyes, go see Speed Racer and let your eyes enjoy for a bit.

Fav Quotes
"Oh my god, was that a ninja?"
"More like a 'non'-ja. Terrible what passes for a ninja these days."
They talk. and talk. and oh yeah, they talk a lot more. They talk about Anne Frank. They talk about football (soccer to us Americanos). They even talk about coffee machines. And it's all in French btw. Pretty much, The Class never shuts up. But despite being one long run-on sentence of a film, that perhaps I wasn't ultimately in the mood for last night, it's good. It's really good in fact. With a full cast of unknowns (and likely never-knowns), the film feels more like a documentary that hit the jackpot, than a written drama.
The film follows French professor Francois as he copes day in and day out with a class of kids from a low rent neighborhood in France, that don't really know how to listen. Like any normal teenagers, the students are fine one day and a complete mess the next. One minute they are timidly inspiring hope in their teacher that he is making a difference in their lives, and the next they are throwing his attempt to educate them back in his face. Francois ricochets back and forth between trying to reach his students, and just giving up on them completely. Whatever you've heard about the film being centered on a "cool" or "inspiring" teacher, couldn't be further from the truth. As a man in a influential position with children, he makes huge mistakes constantly (and I'm not just talking about that one big one...). He says the wrong things all the time, he's discouraging without meaning to be, and he doesn't have the presence to command the room by jumping on a desk or grabbing a megaphone. In other words, he's real. You probably had a teacher just like him. In fact Francois Begaudeau, who plays himself in the film, was a real teacher. He wrote a book on his experiences called The Class, which he then turned into a screenplay of the film we see now. Francois' is exactly like many teachers I've had over the years, only he's more challenged by his students than mine ever were. He's flawless in the part, but would you expect him to be any other way since he's playing himself?
The key to the film is that everything feels completely unaltered by the presence of the cameras. It's all so real, it borders on terrifying. The question then becomes, is it so real, that it's pointless? Since it's not a documentary, it can never be the truth, no matter how hard it tries (even if it's based on true stories). However, since it's filmed and received like a documentary, where does this film fit in? It was in following this line of questioning that it dawned on me... this film is unique. I don't think anyone can say that often, if at all anymore. The more I thought about the film's lack of peers, the more I liked it. I focused less on the endless talking and more on the fact that no one does this. Is this a good enough reason for me to like the film, that it's alone? I'm still thinking on that. The subtle way that the topics of race and class were established in the film was one of its best attributes. They didn't hit you over the head with stereotypes or cliches, they just put the right kids together in the same class, and the rest seemed to come naturally from them. It was refreshing to see that not everything worked out in the end for them because they were "so inspired" by their wonderful, life changing professor. In fact, it seems the one thing the movie tries to establish the most is that nothing ever really changes, something everyone can appreciate.
Ultimately I walked out The Class overworked and tired. But all day today, I was still thinking about it, about it's lack of sugar and onslaught of reality. I appreciate the film now more than I can say. I'm increasingly impressed by it, even as I write this now.
Short and Sweet
Filmed like a documentary, but brilliantly written by the lead actor and real life professor Francois. As much talking in a film (and in French too) as you can likely stand. The Class stands out as a unique drama about being the classroom. There is no sugarcoating, and beware, there is no neatly tied up finale either. But it's worth seeing and learning from it what you can.
When you envision the world's most skilled kung fu master, the last image that comes to mind is of a rotund panda. But just because Po doesn't fit the mold (or in the mold as the case may be), doesn't mean he's not the right one for the job. Anytime I see an animated Dreamworks movie, my first thought it always "it's not Pixar." But it's unfair to judge every movie on the grounds of where it comes from, so I decided to turn over a new leaf and see Kung Fu Panda with medium level hopes. If I haven't made it clear before, I am not a fan of Shrek, and I was really hoping this wouldn't become a "Shrek 4." Overall the story is a cute one, and made much funnier by the voice of Jack Black. I know a lot of people feel mixed about his humor, but I've decided I like him, and I'm sticking to my guns. Black voices Po, the Panda who just can't seem to get away from his "noodle entrepreneur" father, long enough to fulfill his dream of becoming a kung fu warrior. But his father isn't the only obstacle, Po is too big and slow to ever have the reflexes of a master. However, as in any fairytale with a moral, the lesson is that when motivated enough, you are capable of anything. As it turns out, what motivates Po the most is food, a conclusion come to by Shifu, voiced by Dustin Hoffman.
While the moral of being yourself is a good one (although ultimately being someone else is probably more in your favor) promoting obesity in kids when it's the highest rising epidemic in America... ok maybe I'm reading too much into this. Just kidding y'all! It's a cute adorable panda! And he's surrounded by other cute and adorable animals of both the barnyard and zoo persuasion! That's good enough for me. The colors are AMAZING and highly saturated, which I'm a sucker for. There's also a secret scroll and a pretty pissed off leopard/cheetah? Still not quite sure. It's pretty much your standard plot though, without any real surprises except for some pretty awesome Jack one-liners. Also, there's a pointless voice performance by Angelina Jolie. She literally speaks like a constipated robot for the entirety of the film, and she probably got paid a million dollars to it... ah the life of Mrs. Pitt. They also managed to get David Cross, whom I love ardently, but his performance didn't reflect the humor I've come to know and love ala Tobias. Apart from the pretty colors, there was also a lot of animated noodles which looked so yummy that had I been a little more sleep deprived, I probably would have attempted to eat them.
Short and Sweet
All in all there's a pretty sweet peach tree, a really old turtle, a chubby panda, and a lot of noodles that look so edible I was craving Udon all day. What can I say, I like cute cartoon movies with stereotypical Asian soundtracks. Nice one Dreamworks, you made it to my wishlist. And if you think Po's father is a panda, you'd be wrong.
