Sucker Free City

The Yay!

Spike Lee made a movie in San Francisco. Thats right. It's hard to fight the flavor of the bay. The steep hills, fog, DJs, the list of freshness goes on and on. So the setting is dope already. To combinate the hype, Spike and makes this a cross-cultural class-struggle type jump-off. So i like.

The power lead in this is Anthony Mackie, whom you might remember as the asshole from 8 Mile; or you might remember him as the asshole from Million Dollar Baby. The dude is good in this. He even acts.

The same can be said for Ken Leung. Dude is fire. The white guy, not as fresh. Sorry. Spike also pulls in some nice cameos from master lacrosser Jim Brown and master actor, James Hong - you might remember him fom every hot Bruce Lee movie or as fu**ing LO to tha mufu**ing P-A-iz-N!

I guess next to B.T.I.L.C. it is difficult to really appreciate SFC as a dope film. Regardless, it still gets a 700,000/1,000,000; not bad for a TV movie.


Here is one of the greatest quotes ever (thanks IMDB):

Lo Pan: [spots Gracie, Margo and Eddie on a security monitor] Who are these people? friends of yours? now this really pisses me off to no end!

and another that Josh likes:

Lo Pan: You never could beat me, Egg Shen.

The Constant Gardener

Ah, hand-held camera shots. "Hey, seriously, don't bring the tri-pod, we won't be using that here." I think that's how the conversation went when Fernando Meirelles addresed the production crew.

If you keep on wishing that there was a politically charged movie about the evils of the pharmecutical biz, shot with the pizzaz of the Blair Witch Project, you re in luck my friend. TCG, continues where Lord of War left off in the "white people in Africa" series.

Ralph Fines plays his usual role as a pussy, I mean, diplomat. He has a press conference and gets shredded to peices by a reporter. Impressed by her ability to make him look like a deuche, he marries her and takes her to Kenya.

This movie is another example of the crazed madmen running American movies. Rachel Weisz won the supporting actress Oscar.

Both watching and reviewing this film makes me dizzy and wan to go to bed. Rating: 1/1,000,000 - the 1 is for the only shot that used a tri-pod.

Lord of War

Another piece of poop for Nick Cage! If you hate dialogue, or thinking, this is the movie for you.

It takes place in Africa, but there are no African characters. Instead there are charactures of two types: Bloodthirsty assholes and helpless and starving innocents.

Jared Leto plays Cage's little brother. A - cliche alert! - coked up fuck-up, trying to snort his deamons away. Cage feels guilty that he dragged his brother into a life of guns and girls, thus tension is created!

Dispite all of the doo-doo, there are some highlights to this movie. Cage tricks a supermodel into marrying him - not as hard as you might think.
And Jered Leto dies.

I would say more about this movie, but it was a pretty big waste of time in the first place. Thus it deserves the following rating: 2/1,000,000 - the 2 is for all of the cool guns.






Look out Africans! It's Nick Cage!
