W. (2008)
someone explain the corn
After watching Stone's latest biopic, I feel like I have lived through George Bush's life. No I have no new understanding of the man's life, I just feel like I waisted 40 years of my own life all in the matter of 2 hours. This movie adds a whole new meaning to boring.
This movie managed to show us every aspect of George's life besides those that might be interesting. We got to see some girl friend??? of George's step on a cob of corn. Why?? Is there some symbolism here. We get to see George be out Texased by some Democratic rival for state senate, but when he is going to make his out Texasing comeback against the Governor of Texas, we are just informed he won. Why not show it?
But by far the worst two things about this movie have got to be the actress representing Condilice Rice and the choice of background music. First, Condi. I am not a big fan of the woman, but my god, what was the decision to present her as a mentally challenged freak with facial ticks. And why does she act more like George's secretary than a deputy of the NSA and then future Secretary of State. I do not know who the actress was as of yet, but I can guarantee you that I will never watch another movie that she is in ever again. She alone made me hate this movie more anything else in any other previous movie.
Now the music. Stone should know better. The sappy crap music reminded me of the dramatic under filler for the series Jericho. It was the music that destroyed the whole series of Jericho. And for all you peanut lovers out there, I can care less about your peanuts. I am glad Jericho was canceled.

This is a horrible movie
Let me list the many reasons I hate this movie. Let's first start with the blatant rip offs. First the opening credits start with the same splices of the city of Las Vegas and even the same song as the TV show Las Vegas. This piece of slime flick also steals from the classic "A Clock Work Orange" by prying the heroes eyes open with similar eye prying gizmos to force him to watch news clips instead of porn and violence. These are light offenses that might have been foregiven if not for the ending. The ending of this movie was one of the most unforgivable endings ever presented to film. I cant help but believe that the original ending was so denounced and such a utter failure with their preview audiences that they felt the need to cut off the last twenty minutes of the film. If this hasn't scared you from seeing the film, read no more. The surprise of whats to come might somehow impress you. Somehow, I hope you feel the same as me. Now I could concentrate my criticisms of this horrible film to all of its ridiculous aspects like how Cage's character decides to send all the troops to investigate one location while he searches all the rest, when he could have easily investigated them all and one of his troops ends up being killed. But I could have overlooking all of this films problems if not for the ending. I have never seen an ending that have caused more groans in an audience. This film didn't create just one ending groan, but two. The first occurs because everything that has occurred for the last 30 minutes is going to be repeated. The second occurred because the audience was confronted with the fact that the film just ended. This film is the equivalent of watching "Ground Hogs Day", only the secquence to get thru the day is something like 30 minutes of real time and the file ends after he awakes realizing that it still Ground Hogs Day. This film sucks.
The Blue Iguana (1988)
Flea's Best Performance
I will always remember the first time I saw this movie. Two friends and I had traveled from Louisiana to Montana staying at nothing but campgrounds for five days in the summer of 1989. On the last day before we reached our destination, we stayed at a Motel Six in Missoula Montana. That night The Blue Iguana came on HBO. From the moment 'Floyd' stepped on the screen, all we could do was laugh and ask who in the hell is that. It took us awhile to realize that it was Flea. We were all big Chili Pepper fans so from that moment we were hooked. Till this day, I think this was Flea's best performance in film. He was hysterical. If you like Flea, this film is a must. If not, view this film at your own risk. His performance is over the top just like the way he plays Bass.
