Th movie stars Josh Hartnett (Pearl Harbor, The Faculty), Radha Mitchell (The Crazies, Pitch Black), Gary Cole (A Simple Plan, One Hour Photo), Allen Evangelista, Sheila Kelley (Matchstick Men, Singles), John Carrol Lynch (Cast Away,The Good Girl), Rusty Schwimmer (Runaway Jury, Edtv), and Christa Campbell (Hero Wanted, The Mechanic).
The plot is two people with Aspergers meet in a group and start dating. They deal with the challanges of dating with Aspergers. I think the stats are about 80% of marrages of Aspergers fail.
The biggest problem with the movie I had is it deals with the extream forms of Aspergers. While none of the characters were in institutions they were on the extreams. Aspergers has a sprectrum and the characters were all on the far end of that specturm. I can only guess that they did that because they thought it would get people interisted in the movie.
I thought the movie did improve onece it stoped focusing on the group and just the two main characters. It was not enough for me to recomend the movie but it did get better.
Im rating the movie as a C- or D
Gary's Tattooed Movie Review
Hi everybody, A short introduction. When I looked at my Netflix account it said that I had rated 967 movies I decided a blog might be in order. A basic overview "A" is excelent "B" is worth going to. "C" could go eather way. "D" meany probally skip. "F" basicily means no redeming qualities and the makers of the film should pay you for the time you lost.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011 PG13)
The movie stars James Franco (Date Night, Eat Pray Love), Tom Felton (Harry Potter, Anna and the King), Brian Cox (Red, Bravehart), Andy Serkis (King Kong 2005, Lord of the Ring trilogy), Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionare, Miral), John Lithgow (Kinsey, A Civil Action), Tyler Labine (Reaper, Control Alt Delete), David Hewlett (Splice, Boa vs Python), and Leah Gibson (A Night for Dying Tigers).
The plot is a prequel (never thought much about it beng a prequel) where Franco works for a drug company doing research on apes. he gives Sirkis (Ceaser) a drug hoped to help Alzahimers. The drug gets distributed to other apes by Sirkis.
I thought it was interisting that an act of compassion, saving a condemed baby ape, has such dire results. I guess that just proves no good deed goes unpunished. Some ot the redwoods look fake and not real. CG has come a long way but still it cant quiet come up to reality.
I dont know if the plot lind for Lithgow was similar to Flowers for Algernon. Lithgow got the drug and got better then he reverts to his problems with Alzahimers. I think they used a clip from a Charlston heston movie, it sounded like him. Then the next line was "get your hands off me you damn dirty ape." I think that was the line but am not totally sure. That may of been the best part of the movie for me.
The end of the movie, the last shot, almost seemed like it could be the end of the series if they decided not to remake the next one in the series. The credits did seem to explain how the apes and humans changed places as the top species.
So here is the thing about this remake. It did nothing to make me feel like I had to see it. If you have seen the origional you are fine. I suspose if you are you are young enough as not to have seen any of the origonal movies then maybe go and see it. It was an ok remake of a decent origional.
Im going to have to rate it as a C or C-. If you have seen the origional skip it. If you are young and saw the first remake then I would say it might be worth going to see.

Winter's Bone (2010 R)
The movie stars Jennifer Lawrence (The Poker House, XMen: First Class), John Hawkes (Small Town Saturday Night, Identity), Isaiah Stone, Ashlee Thompson, Dale Dickey (The Pledge, A Perfect Getaway), Tate Taylor (The Help, Pretty Ugly People), Ronnie Hall, and Lauren Sweetser.
The plot is Lawrence goes in search of her father who put up the family home up for bail and can't be found for an upcomming court date. She has dealing with family members who have a strict ethos that is tied to the Ozarks or any rural community.
Lets not waist time this is just an out and out good movie. I can see why it got a lot of good press last year. The movie sets the tone of the movie literally from the first frame of the movie. The movie seems very authentic to the life that people in rural communities live.
The plot of distrust of outsiders and how that can even go into family members. I was told a story by someone who lives in rural Virginia that syncs with the tone of the movie. The idea of helping neighbors and family seem to be forced at times and expected. (Both helping with food and the scene towards the end in the boat. I dont want to give too much away about the climax) There is definatly rules to be folowed. And if not there are real prices that have to be paid even if you are family.
I thought the idea of an automatic garage door in this setting was strangly out of place and interisting. The scene where Lawrence gets beat up is scarry for the fact it leaves it up to your imiganation (like the shark in Jaws?).
The climax of the movie is a scene that I think will stay with people. In a good way. The movie does deserve the R rating but for all of the ages it is fit for people should see it.
Im rating this movie as a B or B+. If you are looking for a comedy this is not for you but it is a really good movie.

Finder's Fee (2001 R)
The movie stars Eric Palladino (The Speed of Thought, The Space Between us), James Earl Jones (Field of Dreams, The Hunt for Red October), Mathew Lillard (Mad Love, Scream), Ryan Reynolds (The Proposal, In Cold Blood), Dash Mihok (Fofire, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), Carry Pope (Sexting, First to Die), Robert Forster (Firewall, Jackie Brown), Francis Bay (The Simple Life of Noah Dearborn,Twins), Colleen Wheeler (X-Men:Evolution), and Louis Chirillo (Johnny Test).
The plot is Palladino plans to propose to his girlfriend after his poker game. The night takes a turn when he finds a wallet with a $6 million lottery ticket, He has already called the owners brother-in law
to tell him where to pick up the wallet.
The next door neighbor has a nice scene at the start of the movie. The first scene after the neighbor went on a little too long. There was a lot wrong with this movie. For one thing Jeff Probst (Survivor tv) desperatly needs to hire someone better to do reasearch his screenplay (he also directed). Jeff its no limit poker not what your actors used 3 or 4 times.
A lot of the middle of the move had dialogue that was not that good or interistng. The movie seemed it was trying to be The Big Chill (not exactly the referance I am looking for.) If just did not get to where it was trying to get. At its heart its a movie about human nature, trust, truth and what people are really like when they are returned to primal instincts.
The best part of the movie is the ending. It saved the movie for me. It took an avarage movie and made it worth my time. Maybe Im tired and did not see the ending but it was great Im rating the movie as a C+ to B-.

Every Day (2010 R)
The movie stars Liev Schreiber (Salt, Everything is Illuminated), Helen Hunt (As Good as it Gets, The Spell), Brian Dennehy (Presumed Innocent, F/X), Carla Gugino (Sucker Punch, Faster), Eddie Izzard (Rage, Igor), Ezra Miller (City Island, Afterschool), David Harbour (Confess, The Green Hornet), and Benita Robledo.
The movie is about a family. Schreiber works as a writer on a show whos star wants more and more snesational stroy lines. His marriage is on shakey ground. He has a one time affair with a cowritter. His sick father in law moves. One of his sons is gay. (Just as a side note Netflix should institutes a rule that you have to watch the movie before writing a synsopsis. They get it more right then wrong but still there are some glaring errors.)
The movie did not grab me from the start. It took time to build but it was worth the time it took to get into it. It may of just been the hair cuts but the actors they got to play the two sons really did look alike to me. Dennehy plays an unsympathic character but does a good job. I liked his dream scenes when he is playing in the band.
The cast and script are both good. If you are looking for a happy movie this is not the one for you. I dont know if I tend to think that movies that are about unhappy people are appealing to me more then others but i thought this was a good movie. Most of the characters are good. The actor/ boss may of been a little weak but still has something interisting.
Im rating this movie as a B. I wish that they would of spent some money to promote this movie. Its worth getting the word out to people. Like I said this is not a comedy but it should have more people watching it.

Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011 PG 13)
The movie stars Steve Carell (Dan in Real Life, Little Miss Sunshine), Ryan Gosling (The United States of Leland, The Slaughter Rule), Julianne Moore (The Kids are Alright, Hannibal), Emma Stone (Easy A, Zombieland), Marisa Tomei (My Cousin Vinny, The Wrestler), Kevin Bacon (Footloose, Mystic River), Analeigh Tipton, Jonah Bobo (Around the Bend, Choke), Joey King (Bent, Quarantine), and Liza Lapira (21, The Big Bad Swim).
The plot is Caerell and Moore's mariage is at an end. Carell gets advice from Gosling, a ladies man, who ends up dating Stone, Carell and Moore's daughter. There son has a crush on the babysitter who in turns has a crush on Carell's character. All very connected.
First and formost if you dont like formulaic and plots that have been done before stay away from this movie with all of your will power it is not the movie for you. I did not have a problem with the fact the movie is unorigional. On the whole I like Carell and am a big fan of Stone since Easy A (stream this movie if you want to laugh. Best scene is about the younger brother being adopted. you will understand when you see the movie.)
Dan Butler's (from Frasier and Silence of the Lambs) had a funny scene. I wish I could see him in more things. Teh movie seems to go back and forth between the beginning, Stone and Gosling, and the end of a relationship, Carell and Moore. I think its about hope, changes in life and not being afaraid to take chances in life.
On the technical level what the hell was up with Bacon's tie in the scene in Moores office. It kept moving or was it me.
Ok so the big confrontation at the end may of been formulaic. On the other hand it had me laughing along with the rest of the audiance. I did not see things being so connected, you may be able to have put one and one together but it was funny. I also think the scene at the graduation was done well also. I thought it was pretty funny who ended up with the photos, totally unrealistic but funny none the less.
Im rating this as a C+ or B- mainly on the back of Carrell and Stone. Stones best friend in the movie is also good in it but Stones boyfriend/boss is just not a good character. Too stupid for my taste. If you want to be entertainted for a while by something mindless this wll be ok for you.

Paper Heart (2009 PG13)
The movie stars Charlyne Yi, Michael Cera (Juno, Frequency), Jake M Johnson, Demetri Martin (The Rocker, Post Grad), and Paul Rust (Inglourious Basterds).
The movie is a hybrid documentary and scripted comedy about Yi's quest to find the true meaning of love with the side story of Yi and Cera real life romance.
The start is a perfecdt fit for what movie you expect to see Cera in. For me it grabbed my interist from the start. I think if you liked Best in Show or A Mighty Wind you will like this. They are similuar in style.
I thought the paper machae scenes were all good and used in proper perportion that added to the film. They did not overuse them. The zoo scene was well done. Espically when talking about what was a date.
Yi coems across as very authentic. Someone comefortable with her self. She did not come across as doing any acting. I dont know how much was was real and what was scrpted. It did not matter but it was fun to try and figure out what was real. I assume the interviews were the real parts while the dialogut with the director was scripted. I dont know how much with Cera was scripted.
Some of the people thanked at the end of the movie were Jonah Hill, Ivan and Jason Raitman. With Cera and Yi doing some of the music. If you are looking for something querky this is for you. I thought some of the middle was a little bit slow but on the whole worth watching.
Im rating this as a B. Like I said before if you liked Best in Show or A Mighty Wind you will like this also.

The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938 PG)
The movie stars Erool Flynn (The Prince and the Pauper, The Dawn Patrol), Olivia de Haviland (The Swarm, The Snake Pit), Claude Rains (The Lost World, Notorous), Alan Hale (Night and Day, This is the Army), and Una O'Connor (Christmas in Connecticut).
The plot is the Robin Hood legend. While Richard the Lionhart is off at the Crusidas Robin fights the unjust rules of Richards brother John.
The movie went from 0 to 60 right off the start no lead in a very jerky way to start the movie. Not a great way to start the movie. The diaologue seems shallow and skn deep. There is no debth. It seemed more like a first read through rather then a movie. The script was not that bad but the dialogue seemed to be rushed.
There was a fight scene where it seemed no one could hit there marks at the right time. The blue screnes seemed dated. (And they should the movie is 73 years old.) I did not get any passion by Flynn. I have seen pieces of paper that have more depth thenm Flynn character. The fact that he had one emotion was more then a little annoying. He was put in one speed and did nothing at all to change it up at all.
Im rating the move as a D. If you want a good movie go with The Princis Bride "Hello my name is Inego Montoya you killed my father...prepare to die." That one line had more emotion debth than anything Flynn did in this movie.

The Bride of Frankenstein (1935
The movie stars Boris Karloff (Mad Monster Party, The Fatal Hour), Colin Clive (Jane Eyre), Valerie Hobson (Life Returns, Great Expectations), Ernest Thesiger (The Robe, Beware of Pity), and E.E. Clive (The Hounds of the Baskerville, A Tale of Two Cities).
The plot is Frankenstein is forced to create a mate for his first creation when his wife is kidnapped. The results can be predicted, things do not end well.
I thought it interisting that in the credits the monster was credited as Karloff, just his last name. I also thought it was interisting that they started the movie off as Mary Shelly telling the story.
I think I am just too much into more modern movies. This one was alright. You should see it if you like horror or other movies of the time. I thought the way the lines were delevered was just strange and annoying. Maybe knowing the basic plot was a minus for me. I was unclear of where the plot. I dont know if it was too much time on not advancing the plot.
Im rating this as a C and would say skip it but its not too strong of a skip.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (2011 PG 13)
The movie stars (every actor in England? just joking) Daniel Radcliffe (December Boys). Rupert Grint (Cherrybomb, Driving Lessons), Emma Watson (Ballett Shoes, The Tale of Despereau), Ralph Fiennes (The English Patient, Red Dragon), Alan Rickman (Die Hard, Bottle Shock), Helena Bonham Carter (Big Fish, Charlie and the Choclate Factory), Tom Felton (Anna and the King, Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2011), Michael Gambon (The Book of Eli, Mary Reilly), John Hurt (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, V for Vendetta), Robbie Coltrane (Message in a Bottle, From Hell), and Maggie Smith (Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood, Hook). See I told you every actor in England was in the cast.
The plot of the movie is the final showdown between good and evil. Harry et al are on the path of horcruxus (sp) in order to destroy Voldemorts soul. Voldermort gathers his troups for an all out attack on Harry at Hogwarts.
The movie was good from the start. It was dark and set a good tone for the rest of the movie. The part of Luna was acted very well. I dont know if it was her idea or she was getting good direction but she did a good job. Her character was "airey" but I liked the character.
It is impossible for any movie to keep up a great pace in every scene. The scene with the wand maker, Hurt?, was a little bit slow. I am glad that the character of Nevell Longbottom turned out the way he did.
I liked the movies attempt at humor. I think it can add a lot to action movies. I dont think most of the lines worked but some did and I think they were right for trying to add humor into the mix.
There may be a corilation between the Potter series and The Lord of the Rings triliogy. There is a magical, imagainay things (magic, Dwarfs, Elfs ect.). Also I think it is an Everyman as Hero theme. Also it has a supporting characters that aid in the task at hand.
I will give the rating here so if you dont know how it ends you wont have to go to the bottom. I am rating the movie as a B. The story was good and as I remember close to the book. The look of the movie was just a good. I was not disapoint at all in the final chapter of this generations Star Wars or Lord of the Rings.
SPOILER ALERT FOR THE LAST SCENE.
I had heard that they had to reshoot the last scene of the movie. I think they tried make up for Harry, Ron and Hermione. I think they also toyed with the idea of using older actors. The olders actors idea was dismissed because to have other people playing these three iconic characters was, I hope, laughable. I read the books last year. I think the last scene was true to the end of the books but I was a little disapointed. I have two ideas why. Idea one because it was the last of the movies and I have liked them all. Idea two I thought the scene was a little light on dialogue. I dont think Ron had a line in the last scene.
