6 'n 90!  Da Man reviews six films in ninety seconds.

carnage2.jpgcarnage.jpgcarnage3.jpg

Carnage.  Apparently Roman Polanski never heard the old adage, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."

jump3.jpgjump2.jpg

21 Jump Street.  At one point in the story, Ice Cube advises, "Embrace the cliche!"  The filmmakers do exactly that and then turn it on its head.

504.jpg50-50poster.jpg501.jpg

50/50.  A pretty good movie, that, oddly enough, is almost immediately forgettable.

Wrath5.jpgwrath3.jpgwrathposter.jpgWrath4.jpg

Wrath of the Titans.  Sam Worthington again plays Perseus, a character who is half god, half human, and this time around, he isn't half bad.

Thanks for listening!  We'll be back in two weeks.

6 'n 90!  Da Man reviews six films in ninety seconds.

Beginners2.jpgbeginnersposter.jpgbeginners3.jpg

Beginners. Combined with The Beaver and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Beginners completes last year's terrifying Trilogy of Quirk.

wanderlust3.jpgwanderlustposter.jpgwanderlust1.jpg

Wanderlust. There's not a lot of wandering going on here--unless the title refers to what your mind does during the film.

submarine2.jpgsubmarine.jpgsubmarine1.jpg

Submarine.  Another indie film torpedoed by too much quirk?  Or does it get the mix of oddball characters and idiosyncratic storytelling just right?

hunger1.jpgHUNGERPOSTER.pnghunger2.jpg

The Hunger Games. Like Twilight, Lionsgate's next big movie franchise is based on a successful series of young adult novels.  Which makes you wonder, are there any books written these days for adults that are worth turning into movies?

Thanks for listening.  We'll be back in two weeks.

6 'n 90.  Da Man reviews six films in ninety seconds.

vow1.jpgvow2.jpgvow4.jpg

The Vow.  It's the year of the Tatum.  With 21 Jump Street already a big hit, and G.I. Joe: Retaliation and Magic Mike still to come, how do the Misfits feel about this initial effort from Mr. Tatum?

bruce.jpgyoung1.jpgeloise.jpgpresido.jpg

Bruce Broughton.  The Emmy winning and Oscar nominated composer talks about scoring Young Sherlock Holmes, writing music for comedies, and working with Peter Yates, Alan Alda, John Hughes, and Michael Jackson.

Ghost21.jpgghost24.jpgghose26.jpg

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance.  The only vendetta Nicolas Cage seems to have is one against the audience.

bruce.jpgdallas2.jpgbw.jpgSilverado.jpg

Bruce Broughton Interview.  The Academy Award nominated and Emmy winning composer talks about writing music for movies, his early days in TV, and composing his first big score for the film Silverado.

6 'n 90!  Da Man reviews six films in ninety seconds.

Loud2.jpgLoud1.jpgLoud4.jpg

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Flagrant Oscar Bait?  Or quirk run amok?

zoo3.jpgzoo1.jpgzoo2.jpg

We Bought a Zoo. It's Elizabethtown with animals, which means it's well-meaning, a little too nice, and has a sentimental screenplay propped up by a handful of clever story moments. Continue Reading »

6 ‘n 90!  Da Man reviews six films in ninety seconds.

TinTin3.jpgTinTin1.jpgTinTin2.jpg

The Adventures of Tintin.  Andy Serkis not only brought Gollum to life on the movie screen, but also King Kong and Caesar the super-intelligent ape.  What seems to be beyond Mr. Serkis and an army of CGI technicians is a believable human being.

Contraband2.jpgContraband4.jpgContraband1.jpg

Contraband.  Forget about drugs and counterfeit money.  Can we start smuggling good screenplays into the country?

muppets2.jpgmuppets5.jpgMuppets1.jpgmuppets3.jpgmuppets4.jpg

The Muppets. It's time to light the lights...  Or is it?

Young2.jpgYoung1.jpgYoung3.jpg

Young Adult. An alternate title might be Prom Bitch Queen meets Crippled Geek.

6 'n 90!  Da Man reviews six films in ninety seconds.

Marilyn3.jpgMarilyn1.jpgMarilyn2.jpg

My Week with Marilyn.  Forget about one week, judging by this movie, two hours would be too long.

puss1.jpgpuss2.jpgpuss3.jpg

Puss in Boots.  This prequel to Shrek definitely lays an egg–but is it a golden egg or a goose egg? Continue Reading »

6 'n 90!  Da Man reviews six films in ninety seconds.

immotrals1.jpgimmortals3.jpgimmortals2.jpg

Immortals.  A grim, ugly version of  Greek mythology that’s filled with castrations, disfigured women, and Mickey Rourke sucking on chicken bones.  Who’d want to live forever in this world?

tower2.jpgtower1.jpgtower3.jpg

Tower Heist.  A bunch of likable guys in a pretty unlikely caper.

The Thing.  Some things are better left in Antarctica buried in the ice.

intime1.jpgTime.jpgintime3.jpg

In Time.  After wasting two hours watching this film, The Time Bandits might seem like a better title. Continue Reading »
