Terminator Salvation
Salvation is definitely one of the more underwhelming titles in the Terminator series. In Salvation, John Connor is all grown up, and, apparently, he’s the friggin’ Batman. He walks around on screen like a bad ass, busting up robots left and right, delivering one-liners in a voice akin to a rusty chain saw--just like Batman. Anyway, while Christian Bale was busy playing the post-apocalyptic caveman (which often had no apparent relevance to plot progression), the show was stolen away by convincing, and, occasionally, touching performances by Sam Worthington and Moon Bloodgood--a woman with way too many tandem Os in her name. However, despite the weak story, the movie still had lot to offer artistically. What it lacked in plot, it made up for with beautiful special effects and relentless action scenes. Effectively, the movie was more of a statement than a story--a statement about the endless and gory war between Man and Machine. So if you’re in a particularly artsy mood, or if you’re just a die-hard fan of the series, go ahead and spend ten bucks to watch Salvation.— June 1, 2009 8:59 p.m.
Step Brothers
I just watched Stepbrothers on DVD, and I thought it was brilliant! It’s a coming-of-age story about two 40-year-old geeks that live with their parents. Sure, you might say the plot was outrageous and the characters were over the top. You might even say that everything in the movie was nothing but childish potty humor. And yeah, I’d have to agree with you! Nevertheless, I thought Stepbrothers was an intriguing exploration of maturity with a strong message about being true to yourself. The movie really pulled through with surprisingly compelling performances by an excellent cast despite the idiotic premise. So if you’re sitting around with nothing to do tonight, I’d definitely recommend renting it.— March 23, 2009 1:45 p.m.
