Movies #219-222

08/10/2008

222. Transsiberian (2008)
Other Means
I had some high expectations for this movie because of Brad Anderson’s previous movies, but the subject for this movie is a lot more normal than the subjects of his past movies, and while this is well written and acted, it just isn’t really that interesting.

221. The Naked Street (1955)
Off DVR, Shown on Turner Classic Movies (uncut)
Completely forgettable movie that has a really young Anne Bancroft here, and Anthony Quinn has the lead part but the script here gives him nothing to work with. Also fans of MST3K will notice the truly versatile Peter Graves waddles through this one also as an upstart newspaper reporter.

220. Pineapple Express (2008)
In Theaters
Because of seeing the redband trailer for this movie so many times I had begun to think that I had unrealistic expectations for the movie. But this movie surpassed all those expectations that I had. If you want to go see this movie go see it now while you can see it with an audience.

219. Get Carter (1971)
Off DVR, Shown on Turner Classic Movies (widescreen, uncut)
Michael Caine puts his pimp hand down hard in this movie. Caine is out for revenge and on a rampage, this movie still stands up over time. Highly Recommended Watch
