Shaft (2000)

Image
An enjoyable but nevertheless quite silly and average remake of the classic television show has the new John Shaft (Samuel L. Jackson) beating up a white racist (Christian Bale) and getting booted off of the police force. Everyone in this film is a racist - primarily the whites - and this whole idea is way too forced. The language and violence is rough, yet the film itself is quite goofy, with not many good scenes and only a few mediocre action sequences. The moral is somewhat depressing: if someone wrongs you, or someone of your race, then beat them up and kill them once they reappear. Richard Roundtree's cameo helps a bit, but regardless, this SHAFT is still only "good" at best.

Chinese Pu-erh For Heart Health

Image
Sold in Chinese markets as Chinese Pu-erh   and available in every herb store, hawthorn berries make a tart and refreshing tea with demonstrated medicinal properties. Traditional Asian medicine uses hawthorn to treat allergies and a condition roughly corresponding to a Western diagnosis of attention deficit disorder. If you have angina or congestive heart failure, a daily glass of hawthorn tea can greatly enhance your health. Hawthorn is both extraordinarily safe and extraordinarily effective in treating various forms of heart disease, as was finally recognized by the American Heart Association in an article printed in its journal in May 2002. This herb contains a variety of flavonoids. Some increase blood flow through the coronary arteries. Some increase left ventricular pressure, making each heartbeat stronger. Some accelerate the heart rate-and some decelerate it. But the most important property of hawthorn is its ability to protect the heart from the effects of oxy

Tea Treatment For Anxiety! WOW! HOW!

Image
We are all used to the time honored tradition of having a cup of tea and taking a nice hot bath to calm you down before you hit the pillow for some Z's. Ah, that always sounds so nice! Well, tea really does help to reduce a person's levels of anxiety. And it is very effective! Of course I had to analyze HOW exactly tea is able to provide relief for the most anxious of us! Here you go.... Just to start, a little orgo (AKA, O-Chem, organic chemistry), don't get scared, it's just a point, really! The health benefits that are attributed to tea can be traced to a unique, neurologically-active amino acid in tea called L-theanine (gamma-ethylamino-L-glutamic acid). Yep, that's it. That's the stuff, L-theanine. L-theanine acts antagonistically against the stimulatory effects on the nervous system. Here is exactly how a state of relaxation is produced when tea is consumed. What happens: * L-theanine directly encourages the production of alpha brain waves.

La fidélité (2000)

Image
Zulawski's 'La Fidélité' is one imbalanced film. The plot is very contrived. It tries to tackle too many things at once but does not quite succeed in spite of the almost 3 hour length. The characters lack dimension (and are hardly interesting). I was irritated by the explicit male nudity (which was more than female nudity). The sex scenes looked unconvincing and a little vulgar, as if they were just thrown in the movie randomly, giving it a pretentious look. The story lacks a distinct direction. Yet, somehow, something about it kept me watching till the end and after the closing credits have rolled, I didn't feel disappointed (by the fact that I spent three hours watching the film) nor was I particularly satisfied. By no means, is this a great film but it is shot quite beautifully. The photography and cinematography are excellent. Some of the images have been so wonderfully and artistically shot and brought on screen. I liked how beautifully the relationship b

I grew up on this animation, and all I can say is that no classical animation-style Disney movie till date, not Lion King, Pocahontas, Hunchback of Notre Dame or any other that you can think of comes THIS close as to compare itself with this all-time classic. A brilliant combination of wonderful voices, magnificent characters, songs that will keep you humming for weeks this is certainly the peek of animation storytelling. It doesn't get any better than this. I give this one 10/10 without a second thought.

The Color Purple

Image
As with many Steven Spielberg films, this is a beautiful-looking movie, scene-after-scene almost looking like paintings. To me, that was the main attraction of the movie because the story - although powerful - to me, wasn't as appealing as the rich visuals. It's also one of those films almost guaranteed to bring a tear or two to ones eyes at the end. This is much more involving story if you are a woman or black person, because you can relate more to the characters in the film. As with typical Hollywood, political correctness rules: most of the men (white or black) are bad while the women (mostly black) are all good. If you are a male watching the movie, this bias in the story can be very annoying. Individually, I remember first watching this (I've seen it a couple of times) and being surprised what a good actress Oprah Winfrey was, and how appealing was Whoopi Goldberg's character "Celie." Goldberg became a star after this film (also for her comedy appeara

Add to Watchlist We Need to Talk About Kevin

I watched this film with a global audience in Cannes. The theater was packed and the two people who walked into the screening ahead of me were already established filmmakers. I was hit by a brilliance of color and a tableau of events moving back and forth in time. Excellent casting, excellent metaphors, excellent camera-work, excellent writing, but the story was not only depressing, the bulls eye, the center of attention, the whole forward motion of the piece, was in the wrong direction. You knew that you were watching a film and you knew the actors were playing their roles and when the end came, the packed house was silent and then after a moment the booing started. Finally after a little thought I joined in. See a much better film on this subject. See "April Showers."

A Triumph

Image
Sometimes (even oftentimes) in the world of film criticism, the word "triumphant" is thrown around. It's often used to describe a film, perhaps more often a performance. I've certainly used it; it's a term I like to pull out when a film seems to go beyond the call of duty. When it's more than art, entertainment, or a combination of both. When the story, images, and characters pop off the screen and go with you, and the lasting impression left on you means something more than having killed a couple hours in a big, dark room with a bunch of strangers. Now, after watching 127 Hours, I feel I've never used "triumphant" in the correct critical context before. James Franco's performance is simply astounding. He, as an actor, is triumphant because his character is, and because he delves into what it means to be bringing this incredible story to life on the big screen for mass consumption. This is a tough role - Franco is basically put

Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny

Image
I am a HUGE Tenacious D fan, and I think this is not the funniest movie in the world, but the most entertaining. It's not laugh-a-minute but that's not what the D intended it to be. I went into the movie seeing all the HBO shows, memorized both albums, and that made it even more enjoyable. Plenty of inside jokes from past Tenacious D albums, and HBO shows. Since I knew the new album already, I knew 40 minutes of the movie because it is a musical comedy. I would say it has the best first 5 minutes of any movie and the best last 5 minutes of any movie. Hands Down. See This Movie Now!

Igby Goes Down

Image
Kieran Culkin astounds in "Igby goes down". While the supporting cast (Jeff Goldblum, Susan Sarandon, Ryan Phillipe and Claire Danes) are predictably good, he turns in an electrifying performance. The script is simply superb and the backdrop of New York is wonderful. The master stroke is the use of Rory Culkin as a younger Igby which lends an authentic air of continuity. The only disappointment is Amanda Peet who, as usual, overacts and hams it up as the highly-strung on/off girlfriend. Jeff Goldblum is surprisingly sexy in a role which he seems very comfortable with while Bill Pullman is surprisingly weighty in a minor yet key role which he pulls off extremely well. Igby Goes Down is a personal tale about a 17 year old misfit boy who copes with his mother's cancer and his father's insanity by pursuing relationships with older women. Truly an intellectual, Igby is a modern day Holden Caulfield, and the world he lives in is far removed from the high standards

The term two piece swimsuits  is considered a neutral alternative.
