The Review: Kinky Boots

Kinky Boots 7/10

This past weekend my lady let me pick some movies to watch and thankfully they didn't stink. We started with Kinky Boots. I somehow had never seen this movie but have seen the live stage show multiple times and wanna see it again. I will admit it was odd seeing a story I knew but without them singing about what was happening. I will say though that the story is pretty much the same except for one change that was not major in any way and the meaning had the same impact.

The Review: Kung Fu Hustle

Kung Fu Hustle 9/10

Yesterday I watched Kung Fu Hustle. I have watched this before, like, years ago but saw that it was on Netflix and started watching it again. This movie is fucking good. Even though the effects are shaky as hell at times it doesn't matter because it fits the way the rest of the movie looks and is styled. After watching this I may have to add this to my list of favorite movies. The fact that someone can direct, co-write, and star in a movie but not be all over the screen at all times and be able to flesh out a lot of other characters is really cool. Yeah, there are a few fight scenes that were directed by other people, but shut up. This is one of those movies where if someone said that they hated fight movies, comedies, or movies with subtitles I would show them this and if they said that it was not good I wouldn't be able to talk to them anymore. As Bill Murray said he described the movie calling it “the supreme achievement of the modern age in terms of comedy” and “There should have been a day of mourning for American comedy the day that movie came out.”

The Review: Be Cool and Mr. Nobody

Be Cool 5/10

I watched the movie Be Cool from 2005 because...reasons. I'm not even exactly sure why I watched it but I did. Guess what? Its not that good. Thankfully I was able to fast forward all of the parts where Christina Milian performed. I'm not sure how popular she was twelve years back but apparently it was enough to warrant quite a few songs from her. This stars John Travolta as a guy that worked in the mob at some point and trying to be a movie producer. There is also Uma Thurman, Cedric The Entertainer, Andre 3000, The Rock, Aerosmith...just a lot of folks. Its ridiculous.
