Crescendo from Bad to Good

Gogol Bordello opens performing an incomprehensible set that'll make you want to pour gasoline into your ears & light them on fire. Ben Harper & company are talented, but you'd think The Doodle Bops were fantastic after suffering through Gogol. Harper comes across like he needs a Red Bull... sedate & unenthusiastic. His drummer needs a longer shirt to cover his Relentless7 stomach folds too. DMB emerges just as you are pondering a trip to the bathroom. They'll make you smile from smoldering ear to ear & make the price of the ticket & initial suffering worth it. So the show starts out poor, but ends well. Run for the exit right after DMB is done. Gogol returns in the credits!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The Best of What's Around

Defiance is an action-packed, dramatic, and gritty movie. It is also a well-paced movie. Kudos to the director for this... at moments of high intensity, bits of humor are injected to ease the tension in the theatre. This keeps the viewer from becoming overwhelmed by the plight of the characters. It also keeps them engaged during the 2 hour, 17 minute saga. Though the plot is as tragic as it is true, this is a story that needed to be told, and told well. Defiance does that.
The actors very skillfully take what could have easily turned into a series of corny, overacted scenes and weaved a brilliant story. Daniel Craig is masterful.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
