Thoughts on the Great Battle

The Great Battle is a Korean movie about a small armed force defending a fortress against a massive invasion force. This is inspired by an event in Korean history. (The movie takes liberties.)

I thought the battle scenes were well staged and compare well with epic battles from films like the Lords of the Rings series. I liked some of the performances, even in the subtitled version. I also like stories about men defending a fortress (like the Alamo story and the book Legend by David Gemmel). The movie moves at a good clip, even though it is over 2 hours long.

I might watch this again before the year ends.

Why the Mission Impossible series works

I think the Mission Impossible series really works because it is committed and sincere. Tom Cruise is committed to doing as many stunts as possible and that comes acros while watching these movies. He broke an ankle during the making of Fallout while doing a stunt. The makers of the movies seem committed to doing old fashioned and amazing stunts. When I say the films are sincere, I am not saying that they are humorless. However the films are not ironic. Also Marvel movies, as much as I enjoy most of them, have a tendency to undercut the drama with humor. (Thor Ragnorok does it a lot.) The Mission Impossible movies don’t do that.  I have not seen the first Mission Impossible movies in years and I mostly thinking about the last three movies. I remember in at least two of the first three movies the bad guy is a former member of the Mission Impossible team.

Thoughts on Born in East LA

Cheech Marin wrote, directed, and stared in this movie about a Mexican American (Rudy) wrongly deported to Mexico. He left his wallet at home and he was caught up in an immigration raid. He tries to get back to East LA. Daniel Stern costars as an American running a bar and hiring Rudy for odd jobs. Why Stern’s character is in Mexico is hinted at but not completely explained. He and Cheech have some nice moments. It is fun. Chech has a likable screen presence. As a viewer, you want him to get back home(at least I I did). His character Rudy was not fleuant in Spanish, which was done I guess to make him seem like an outsider in Mexico. There is a romantic subplot and that subplot is good. Kamala Lopez played Delores, who was from El Salvador and also worked at Daniel Stern’s bar. There are some nice sight gags when he attempts to cross the border. The parody song Born in East LA is fun (and predated the film). This was Marin’s first movie after he and Tommy Ching ended their partner...

Batman and Robin might be as bad as its reputation

Batman and Robin is a bad movie. (The original four Batman movies came out again on physical media to celebrate an anniversary. Some madness took over me and I watched this one.)Sometimes I watch a movie I have not seen in a while or a movie with a bad reputation, and it turns out the movie is better than I remembered or it is not as bad as its reputation. This is not one of those times. This film is bad. Maybe the writers and director were going for a campy feel like the old TV show. It did not work. Set design is the only thing in the movie that works. Even that is overdone at times. George Clooney has talent but he was not a good Batman. I am not sure if it was just the script or the direction but something seems off. He never played another superhero after this film. Chris O’Donnell did not fare much better. Alicia Silverstone is not terrible but she was not good either. She never tried another action or superhero movie after this one (unless I am forgetting something). I am ...
