Logic
Iron Man 2
I can’t find the words…as bad as the first one was good… The theater I saw it in was perfectly quiet the whole movie. No cheers, nothing. And no smiling faces after it ended. Premise The threat in the original boiled down to Tony Stark’s partner, Obadiah, building his own suit to defeat Tony (Robert [...]
Ninja Assassin
A sub-par action flick that could’ve been so much better. Structure/Plot – For the first 30 minutes or so it sure seemed like the main character, Raizo (played by Rain), was the assassin. It was stupid of the movie to create this impression and confusion…showing Raizo immediately after a ninja attack and then in the [...]
Bedtime Stories
Once upon a time, a man watching this movie fell asleep… Structure / Premise / Logic It doesn’t take long for a bad movie to reveal its flaws. In the first few minutes, Adam Sandler’s father sells his hotel and the new owner demolishes it and builds a spanking-new highrise hotel in its place. The [...]
District 9
I give it a thumbs up for most of the reasons everyone else likes it. However… Little thing / Logic – In Act I, it was stupid that MNU needed signatures from the aliens in order to evict them. As if any of the aliens would have willingly done so. The simple thing would have [...]
Death Race
I won’t argue against a movie reaching low and being what it is, but why couldn’t it respect the basics? Even movies like this can do relatively well and leave the audience pumped. Logic Sexy women were added as guides to boost ratings, even though they’re in the cars 99% of the time and there [...]
Mamma Mia
Fun movie, though a few weak fundamentals prevented it from being memorable for more than the music. Character Three women and three men in their mid 40s and up are all single, only one (Pierce Brosnan) having had a serious relationship. Do you know what that makes them? Losers. And who cares about losers? Sophie [...]
Pineapple Express
Clearly, this movie was made to be enjoyed only while high. Otherwise, it’s the Pineapple Depress. Premise While there were some good moments, the fundamental flaw right from the beginning was the tone. Seth Rogen and James Franco were comic elements thrust into a world of…other comics. Pretty much all the secondary characters- the hitmen, [...]
