The Birds (1963) - A wealthy San Francisco socialite pursues a potential boyfriend to a small Northern California town that slowly takes a turn for the bizarre when birds of all kinds suddenly begin to attack people there in increasing numbers and with increasing viciousness.

The effects may look dated now, but the suspense definitely holds up. 4/5

I just finished "Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies". And yep - it's about Abraham Lincoln fighting zombies! Don't you just love it when a movie is about exactly what it's supposed to be about? I do.

And this is a movie worth watching! Let's say it right here - Bill Oberst, Jr. is the best Abraham Lincoln I've ever seen. Not that I've seen that many, but his performance earned him all kinds of accolades from the press. He is a GREAT Lincoln.

Let's begin at the beginning. Young Abraham Lincoln's mother has been infected with Zombie-itis. So naturally Abe's dad kills himself, leaving Abe to pick up his scythe and lob off his mom's head. Next stop, the White House!

Which is, literally, the next step. Lincoln is going to Gettysburg to give an address when a Union soldier arrives. He and his group had been sent on a secret mission to check out a Confederate fort that had to be taken for the North to win the war. But only one guy made it back and told wild stories of walking dead people. Abe knew EXACTLY what that was, so he and some of his assistants head to the fort, scythes in hand.

They get to the fort, which apparently was right down the block, and meet up with various zombies, all of whom get their heads lopped off. Then they find some Union soldiers and take them prisoner somehow.

It turns out that one of the Union soldiers is General Stonewall Jackson. Now, as good as Oberst is playing Lincoln, that's how bad Don McGraw was playing Jackson. But maybe it wasn't his fault, as McGraw was saddled with the worst glue-on beard in cinematic history. They only spend $150,000 making this movie and I am positive that a full $5 was spent at the costume shop, buying the cheapest fake beard they had.

Stonewall Jackson is not convinced that zombies are monsters. He believes they are just sick. He mainly believes this because most of the zombies are Confederate soldiers, so maybe he's biased. But he will not help Lincoln fight zombies.

So it's up to Lincoln and his band of supporters. They go to a house, lopping off zombie heads along the way, and come upon some non-zombie hookers. Bingo? No! Because while they are hookers, they are also mother and daughter. I know, I know - there are lots of "movies" out there with this exact same plot. But in those "movies" is the mom hooker ALSO the ex-lover of the young Abraham Lincoln? I think not!

There's also a young boy hanging out with the hookers for some reason. Abe likes the cut of the boy's jib, and gives him a large piece of wood.

"Teddy," he says, "Always walk softly but carry this big stick". Hell yeah! The kid is Young Theodore Roosevelt! And Young Teddy is coming along to chew gum and kick ass, and chewing gum hasn't been invented yet so guess what Young Teddy's going to be doing!

This movie kind of jumps around a lot, so I guess this is as good a place as any to tell you that another one of Lincoln's group is Pat Garrett. But is it the Pat Garrett who ultimately gets Billy The Kid? I'm not sure but in a movie like this, I assume so! So does Wikipedia, which hotlinks the "Pat Garrett" character name to "Pat Garrett, the guy that got Billy the Kid".

Another guy there is John Wilkinson, and he's not really Lincoln's friend. He's a Confederate secret agent! But as he tells a friend of his that is a zombie, no one knows this because John is such a great actor. He gets a chance to kill Lincoln but it's while Lincoln is praying, and he can't kill Abe while he's praying because that means Abe's soul would go to Heaven and that just won't do at all. So John Wilkinson leaves the killing of Abraham Lincoln for another day.

Abe and his band of merry men and women kill lots and lots of zombies on a recon run to a farm but on the way back, Abe's ex-lover/hooker Mary gets splattered with zombie blood. Uh-oh! She will turn zombie within a day or two but since she's not yet a zombie, they take her back to the fort.

They decide to go into town and see if it's possible to kill all the zombies. Abe gives them a pep talk and uses the awesome phrase "With charity toward none and malice toward all, let's send all the zombies to HELL!" This, in case you aren't up on your presidential inaugural addresses, is drawn from a famous line from Lincoln's second inaugural address - "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations." That's some good screen-writing right there!

Someone finally talks some sense into General Stonewall Jackson and his paste-on beard, and he shows Abe a secret stash of dynamite. They decide to lure all remaining zombies into the fort, and then escape via some secret tunnels, but not before they light a fuse so that they can blow all the zombies into Kingdom Come. General Jackson summons all the zombies by playing "Revellie" on his trumpet (the zombies are mostly Confederate soldiers, remember?).

But alas! A zombie steps on the fuse, putting it out. It must be relit. Who will face certain death by entering the Zombie Apocalypse and relighting the fuse? Why, it's General Jackson! After all, most of those zombies were his men. Abe gives him a salute and then hands him a torch that just happened to be behind him, and General Jackson is eaten up by zombies. But not before he does his duty and lights that candle! KA- BOOOOOOOOM!

Well, that's the end of the zombies. Wait - they didn't ever kill Mary, Abe's ex-lover/hooker! Abe has her chained up in a horse stall, where he has the world's foremost zombie expert trying to cure her. "You know more about this affliction than anyone in the world!" says Abe. "I know nothing!" says the expert, which pretty much sums it up.

Abe goes in to dress Mary's wounds, and tells her there's some guy named John Wilkes Booth who wants to kidnap and kill Abe. Of course, you and I know Booth as John Wilkinson - surprise! But Abe gets too close and Mary bites him. Bummer! Now, Abe is a zombie! So he kills Mary, and then has someone deliver a note to John Wilkes Booth to the effect that if Wilkes shows up at the Ford Theatre that night, he might just have a good time.

Abe shows up at the theater, looking gray and moving slowly, but ready to make the ultimate sacrifice for his country.

The end.

I give this movie 3.5 Lopped Off Heads out of 5 Lopped Off Heads. But I give Bill Oberst Jr.'s portrayal of Lincoln 4.5 Lopped Off heads. He really is the best Lincoln you'll probably ever see.

No, I haven't. But I honestly can't imagine anyone playing Lincoln better than Bill Oberst, Jr. did. Lots of critics said that, too. They said it might be the best acting by anyone in a B movie.

"Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies" is worth watching just for Oberst's performance. I really mean that.

Le Week-End (2013) - A British couple return to Paris many years after their honeymoon there in an attempt to rejuvenate their marriage.



I watched this again recently. It could almost be a part five in Richard Linkater's Before series. Jeff Goldblum is great as the husband's former protégé. I love it. 4.5/5

Scotsman1999

Legend - about the Kray brothers, two legendary gangster brothers who were active in London during the sixties.

There have been a few biopics of them I think, but this is the first I've seen. Notable because one actor, Tom Hardy, plays both roles. It's very well done and only once did I notice a form of disconnect when both brothers were on screen at once.

Was it a good film? Yeah..it was enjoyable, but what's with film length these days? Two and a half hours I think it was. I was getting sore. Sometimes less is more. One for the home when you can take a half time break!!

Back To The Future Part II (1989) - After visiting 2015, Marty McFly must repeat his visit to 1955 to prevent disastrous changes to 1985... without interfering with his first trip.

I liked that it was darker and more complex than part one, but overall it wasn't as good. 3/5

Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine (2015)



Why do so many care so deeply about someone they've never met that they could be moved to tears at a drop of a candlelight vigil? This becomes the entry point to a documentary that seems to neither really attempt to answer the question nor offer any new insight into Steve Jobs.

People probably become strongly connected with things because they bring them so much joy, opening a virtual font into self-expression. And in many ways they/we are perhaps weeping for the countless memories that are washing over us, of the realization of who we are and who we can still be. And perhaps also, a genuine and deep human bond for someone responsible for so much happiness and influence in our lives. There are millions of examples across millions of products and people, originating sometimes in far less than the saints that poster our walls and have witnessed the millionth profundity of our inspiration.

During the first hour of this documentary I was engaged and hopeful for where it might be taking me, despite my concerns that we were heading towards the ditch. But by the second hour I started getting whacked hard about the face and head with little more than darkened conspiracies where people in ever-increasing simplicities of slow motion are backed by foreboding music tuned to the binary depth of a political smear.

We all deserve far greater depth. We are all so vastly more layered, complex, and informed.

Why weren't more people let into the story? It's as if this film were constructed by the comments found on the Internet — with little debate from people who might be able to offer an alternative to their merits — before being pasted together to form the collage its maker perhaps saw in their head before they even secured the financing needed to deal with their own feelings of guilt.

This is the same documentary filmmaker who thrilled me with his take on "Scientology." I'm now traumatized enough by this film on Steve Jobs that I'm seriously doubting my love for something that I know far less.

But perhaps I'm being too hard on myself.

The cult template seems to be fully present here but Steve Jobs is light years from L. Ron Hubbard and Apple is definitely no Church of Scientology no matter how many examples of superficiality and stupidity one can find waiting in line. And corporations are not evil, cynically existing only to please stockholders; they are part of what allows us to live and love, employing millions of good, hardworking people who are always there by choice. And despite its constant presence, there is no mystery here beyond why so many of us reserve such a broad brush for those who hold opinions different from our own.

Shown quite beautifully in the opening of this film, Steve Jobs makes himself so sick before his first national TV spot that he pleads for a restroom where he can throw up. Now there's a starting point that could end up offering the wisdom and multiplicity needed to command the hairs to stand on the back of our dead skin.

1.5 out of 5 [Broken]

Yes, huge thumbs up. I got the idea from you going way back to your first viewing.

Back to the Future Part III (1990) - Enjoying a peaceable existence in 1885, Doctor Emmet Brown is about to be killed by Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen. Marty McFly travels back in time to save his friend.

Interesting that Marty's paternal great-great-grandmother looked a lot like his mother who was of no blood relation to the McFlys. Hmm. On par with part two for me. 3/5

What movie doesn't have plot holes? I never bought into that notion that in order for a
film to be credible, it's plot had to make complete and utter sense. If those types of film
critics want a story that resembles reality in all of its aspects, then go watch a fucking
documentary. Art, by nature, allows for us to suspend disbelief constantly. Anyways,
rant aside, I've yet to watch that Nolan flick because I know it's just too damn deep for
me. I like big ass, dumb movies mostly.

Last movie I watched:

Unbreakable by M. Night Shyamalan and it was a 5/5. Before that, my wife made me watch
Antichrist by some Danish dude and it too was a 5/5 - it gets that high rating just because I've
never seen anything like it before.

I said that for the same reasons you mentioned. The film's incongruence was so widely discussed last year, which didn't deter me, I just got behind. The movie itself is ALL ABOUT bringing balance to an imbalanced world.

Last movie I watched:

Unbreakable by M. Night Shyamalan and it was a 5/5. Before that, my wife made me watch
Antichrist by some Danish dude and it too was a 5/5 - it gets that high rating just because I've

Unbreakable is a modern classic. Antichrist . . . I'm not saying it's a great movie, but I darn sure won't forget it.

Black Mass (2015)

Well made, well acted movie.

The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

Manic and whimsical, because Wes Anderson, but packs a meaner punch than most movies in his canon. Ralph Fiennes was superb.

I live in Boston, so I'm definitely going to go check out Black Mass.

I would never watch a Wes Anderson movie.

Under The Skin (2013) - A mysterious woman seduces lonely men in the evening hours in Scotland. Events lead her to begin a process of self-discovery.

One of my favorite films of the last few years. My third viewing and it's still fascinating. 5/5

I had a weird double bill. First up was 50 shades of grey. Absolutely awful. Never read the books. Only wanted to see the film cause I heard there was a bit of nakedness in it (don't judge me) but it couldn't even do that right. I would have been better off watching Debbie Does Dallas.
1/5.

Next was the latest Mad Max movie. Wow. That just about sums it up. I much prefer Mel Gibson in the role but it wouldn't have mattered who was in Fury Road. It was insane. That guy with the guitar? Brilliant!
5/5.

The Hunger Games -- Mockingjay: Part 1 (2014)

Plods along, has some decent moments thanks to a pretty deep supporting cast. It was heartbreaking seeing Phillip Seymour Hoffman on the screen.

The romantic thriller, The Perfect Guy. It was like a cheesy tv-movie-of-the-week, only with a bigger Hollywood budget and starring some of your favorite Gen-X black romcom actors. I have a feeling Michael Ealy knew how ridiculous this movie was because he really hammed it up on screen. * 1/2 stars.

I had read some reviews before watching it and had low expectations despite the rave reviews but ended up liking it a lot.

Four out of five.

A really cool and exciting movie about the French Connection (La French, which is the original title of this movie). Judge Pierre Michel gets promoted to fight the French Connection in Marseille only to find out how corrupt the police department and high ranking politicians and police chiefs are.

The story takes place in the 1970s in the south of France, and while watching it I thought "Wow! They must have spend a lot of time and money trying to find all those nice vintage cars."

I love how they recreated that 70s look.

Based on a true story. A must-see for fans of crime or mafia movies.

Forgot to rate it-edit- Five out of five stars. A really good movie.

Beyond the Reach (for some strange reason titled The Reach in Germany) is a typical manhunt movie that takes place in the Mojave desert.

A bit basic and not much of a complicated storyline but sometimes that can be a good thing. I´m a sucker for all those 1970s classic movies that have the story take place in some remote desert area in California or Nevada or Arizona, and this movie reminded me a lot of those typical 1970s desert action movies....in a good way...without being derivative.

I think the story takes place in the Mojave desert. Superrich asshole (played by Michael Douglas, who also happens to be the producer of this movie) hires a local scout or tracker to illegally hunt some kind of goat in the mountains of the desert. The tracker finds out that the rich dude bribed the local authorities to get a permission to hunt that species. At first he objects to helping him but then he gives in. And then it gets interesting.

Those who love manhunt movies (and desert movies) might like this film.

I know I liked it, it´s nothing major but still a very enjoyable film to watch on your own on a rainy day.

Four of five stars.
