action excitement junk
PostedNovember 18, 2009
Concept was good (man fights an unfair justice system HIS way) if only the story did not become just way too far fetched and full of plot holes big enough to drive a truck through. When one man can construct a tunnel almost the complexity of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, I think Hollywood has gone too far.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

only activity is a HOAX
PostedNovember 4, 2009
I wasn't expecting much from this "movie" and I got much less. I give it no stars but that rating is not available. What an utter disgrace for this trash to be shown in theaters. I guess there is no shame. Amateurish seesaw-like camera work, poor edits, barely discernible audio and pure boredom waiting for something to happen. There is a surprise ending but it's as dumb as this movie. This is a hoax concocted by a husband and wife team to sell a garbage movie; nothing paranormal about it.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I can't dig it
PostedOctober 22, 2009
As a spoof of the so called black exploitation movies of the early 70's, this movie wears thin very fast. Short on laughs; large on stupidity, sexism and racism. I realize that the movie is meant to be outlandish but the "plot" gets dumber by the second.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

blah
PostedOctober 13, 2009
It seems that the rather obnoxious and loud Chris Rock will never write and produce a documentary like the venerable Michael Moore. There was interesting material here but it gets rather tedious. The film has some of the most stupidest people in America and interviews with obscure actors. There is quite a tinge of racism against Asians and Whites as if all black products should only be black owned. When Rock visits India, he plays the ugly American to the core and is obnoxious to the people and their culture just for some cheap laughs to self-aggrandize himself. This low caliber documentary plays like it belongs more as an HBO special than a full fledged movie release to the theatres.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

just ok
PostedSeptember 29, 2009
mildly interesting, a few fun moments.
The plot can feel a bit contrived along the way.
Never been a Zellweger fan....still not.

just plain blah
PostedSeptember 23, 2009
This immigrant story is uncompelling and not genuine enough to make this an interesting movie. Loaded with an anti-Israel bias and full of stereotypes.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

A $1 Redbox rental
PostedSeptember 9, 2009
This movie had funny moments about a father and son and their dichotomies but the flat, weak ending took it down to blandness. Any semblance of a message it was trying to convey disintegrates with a real quick and sour ending. Wait for the DVD rental.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

preposterous
PostedSeptember 1, 2009
A story about a series of circumstances leading to end WWII and is totally preposterous and convoluted. 8 Special Forces soldiers led by Brad Pitt to kill and scalp thousands of German soldiers? A German sniper that kills 300 Americans in one battle? German Colonel that fluently speaks French, English and Italian? I was waiting for Swahili. Hitler's guards not patting down guests carrying bulky ankle strapping dynamite? PURE Science Fiction. Not being Tarantino, had I tried to peddle this absurd script around Hollywood, I would have been kicked out of every studio with a mighty sore butt. The squirm factor comes into play as the film runs 2+ hours. 3 stars: 2 stars for content and 1 star for the fine fluid camera work.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

a piece of s**t
PostedAugust 26, 2009
The speech is British English in this movie and a hefty portion of it could use subtitles for the American audience. The writing attempts some sort of phony wit from each character's dialog. No one can end a sentence without some form of profanity, vulgarity or denigration. The camera is too fast paced and jerky as it tries to follow the actors. The cinematographer cannot remain on a single frame for more than a milisecond. The lens zooms in and out like an amateur home movie maker. I was on the verge of a migrane.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

vapid premise and movie
PostedAugust 19, 2009
The premise, albeit true, borders on take me to the nuthouse straight jacket insanity; Young Julie will cook Julia Childs' 500+ recipes in 365 days and blog about it to the world. With a dumb premise, comes a dumb movie. The treatment is rather superficial and I learned virtually nothing about what made Julia Child tick as a person. Meryl Streep drones on for 2 hours with a Julia Child impersonation. The movie did seem to flow well for the first hour but then I began looking at my watch for this mess to be wiped up.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
