August Film Logs

Reconstruction
Director: Christoffer Boe (Allegro, Everything Will Be Fine)
Starring: Maria Bonnevie, Nikolaj Lie Kaas

An existential urban romance that resembles a perfume commercial and a Twilight Zone episode.

Rating: 4/5


The Expendables
Directed by: Sylvester Stallone (Rocky Balboa, Rambo)
Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Steve Austin

A throwback to '80s action movies. It is over-the-top, ridiculous, and excessively violent. The Expendables did to action what Drag Me To Hell did to horror.

Rating: 2/5


Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore

Directed by: Brad Peyton
Starring: James Marsden, Nick Nolte, Christina Applegate, Bette Midler, Neil Patrick Harris

It will appeal to its intended crowd of kids and pet lovers because of its unabashed cuteness. But it’s silly nonetheless.


Rating: 1/5



Step Up 3D

Directed by: Jon Chu (Step Up 2)

Starring: Rick Malambri, Adam G. Sevani, Sharni Vinson


Yet another unnecessary sequel rendered in 3D. You're better off watching America's Best Dance Crew and Showtime.


Rating: 1/5



Salt

Directed by: Phillip Noyce (The Bone Collector, Rabbit-Proof Fence)

Starring: Angelina Jolie, Liev Schreiber


Evelyn Salt will never be Jason Bourne. Salt is disappointing from beginning to end.


Rating: 2/5

You should. It has an intriguing plot that offers no easy answers. If David Lynch is in love, this is the film that he will make.

I can't find you on Facebook. You can look me up. My whole name is: Fidel Antonio Medel.
