I have still managed to see some movies in the last few weeks - I am just growing lazy and busy - one or the other.
Amazing Kung Fu moves, hilarious English dubbed lines, pretty much amazing.
Lady in the Water 2/10
I expected a great deal going into this experience - trusting the director from his past works (The Village, Signs, The Sixth Sense). However, I couldn't even finish the movie. I was disenchanted with the idea pretty quickly, though I felt there was a great deal of potential. This was a far fall from the tree for me.
Lean On Me 8/10
One of the most powerful performances from Morgan Freeman I have ever seen! I like the "school room" dramas and this finds its way into that genre. A high school falls to the dumps and a new principal is hired to bring it up to par to meet the state requirements. There are a few things with the plot line that don't really go together, and the antagonist is pretty extreme and hard to believe. However this film was highly enjoyable, made me think, and I just can't help but admire the performances.
The Window 6/10
This is a spanish movie about a dying man hoping to reconcile his relationship with his estranged son. I know I missed a great deal of the meaning because it was late at night while watching but there was a lot of substance. I really liked the use of sound to create the moods and tones of the plot.
Batman The Movie 6/10
It is not really fair for me to watch this now, after seeing both new Batman films. But I did. I was not impressed with Batman's morals, or his turtle necks, but maybe that is just a generation gap. I tried watching the sequel but had to turn it off it lost me. I attribute my lack of interest to having seen the newer ones that have so much more everything (action, thought, music, and clever dialogue).
