DVD Review: Bandlsam
Summit Entertainement has recruits the top talent to be in a musical about teenagers and love. Should be a disaster, right? Somehwhat..but not quite.
Will has just moved in and is quite an outcast. However, he's assembling a band full of outsiders that just may win a giant music competition.
The cast don't act well and the characters are as cookie cutter as they come. And yet..they get the high-school MANERISMS down pat and it must be admitted the film can be charming and Lisa Kudrow does well in her thankless role. Sure, the singing can be grating but there's no denying that when this film has pep, everyone's gonna get up and dance.

Film Review: The Back-Up Plan
J. Lo, J Lo, J Lo. Wow. You have fallen down the totem pole. This film is easily the biggest pile of trite I have seen all year. Atroticous.
Jennifer Lopez plays Zoe, who has become pregnant and starts dating Stan (Alex O'Loughlin) who is unaware of Zoe's pregnant condition.
The story is like spam, the acting like balsa wood and the characters as thin as twine, The Back-Up Plan would make make Martin corsese wonder what happened to the great medium called cinema. With one-liners that are relying solely on shock value, it won't make you gasp. It'll make you realize just how depserate these guys are to make you laugh. Hopefully, J. Lo gets a role next time that, you know, has one reddeming quality.

Blu-Ray Review: Did You Hear About The Morgans?
DYHATM is a bad film. Not Chipmunks bad...but bad anyways. It just stretches for laughs and feels convulated and thrown together.
Meryl Judith Morgan and Paul Michael Morgan are a couple on the verge of breaking up...until they witness a murder and are forced to stay together thanks to a witness protection program. Now in the country, they'll have to survive the outdoors...and each other.
This film has nary a funny moment (a good Palin joke is ruined in the trailer) and the film is just rushed throughout with a feeling of no conclusion. In a way, the movie just rushes around, hoping for money and laughs to come. But they never do. Hugh Grant looks bored and Sarah Jessica Parker is obviously faking that smile she has on. As usual, Sam Elliot does what he can with this material. But even this country boy can't keep this floppy "comedy" afloat.

Film Review: Oceans
Last year, Earth took us beyond what we had ever seen (well unless, you had never seen Planet Earth) Now they're bringing us somewhere even more amazing: the deep dark Ocean.
Some of the images brought in this film are amazing. Sea horses that blend in with coral. Eels miles long. A man swimming with a shark, it's more than enough to leave your mouth agape. Easily the film's images are more thqan enough to bring you to your knees. But the information it shows you..WOW!! A moment where we learn seagulls, dolphins, whales and sharks all come to eat in the same place..it's just spellbounding.
The narration is weaker than Earth, but then again Pierce Brosnan's voice is not as bold and powerful as James Earl Jones and it never will be. Despite that, this film is still among the best things you'll see ever on the big screen and is a thrilling journey for all.

DVD Reivew: Gentlemen Broncos
Napolean Dynamite. Is there any other 21st Century film that is so well-known? Like Avatar and all the PIXAR films, it's lingo and messages resonate with all who watch it. So it's a real shame that director's newest project comes off as TOO weird and...just plain odd.
Utahan Benjamin Pervis is a teenager who wants to be a fantasy writer. When he gets to submit his publication to his favorite author, he plagiarizes it and makes it his own story. Meanwhile, we get to see the story come to life through little bits and pieces with the main book character being played by Sam Rockwell.
To say the film is tricky and weird is an understatement. To says it beyond confusing and patience-trying wouldn't be that much of a hyperbole. The film doesn't really let you get to know the characters and the book film is just..odd. Sam is great, but he falls here and Jermanie Clements does do well at all here as the plagiarizing writer. He's the only one though tat, you know, does anything. Combine bored actors with gallons of bathroom humour and you can see why this is one sloppy production.

Blu-Ray Review: Pirate Radio
What do you do when you combine British rock with British "pirates"? You get the best soundtrack ever, but a middling film overall.
Carl is sent to live on his godfather's (Bill Nighy) ship. There, a series of events lead to the near dismantly of the ships "Pirate Radio". Now, he and the crew are gonna preserve rock..whether the British government like it or not!
The cast is a nice assortmant, but the film itself is a jumbled mess. True, the soundtrack is kickin and is all on my iPod right now (I'm actually listening to Stay With Me Baby right now)! Still, even Philip Seymour Hoffman can't save this mess, that's already sinking well before the climax. But hey, at least the music's there, right?

Weeknd Preview: Will The Back-Up Plan Work or Lose?
It's time for some box-office predictions! This weekend, it'll be neck and neck again, but The Back Up Plan should be a smidgen over the classic How To Train Your Dragon. The rom-com should be at Number 1 with 17 million, an alright go, for J. Lo.
How To Train Your Dragon has a chance of beating Plan. It will all depend on how well it does on Sunday. If it comes in Second Place, it should have 16 million,. Not bad for a 5 week old film that was dubbed a bomb a mere few weeks ago.
The Losers won't be a complete loser, but it'll have to have some hidden strength to top Dragon and Plan. Still, it won't be a complete loss: it's almost guranteed to top 10 million. A Third Place debut with 12 million should be alright for Warner Bros.
Date Night should hold steady, down to Fourth Place with 11 million. The comedy should have a total of 85 million, alright for both stars involved and a career high for Tina Fey.
Either Oceans or Kick-Butt should make it to 5th place. I'll give it to Oceans though, just due to the fact that Kick-Butt is guranteed to drop hard. That nature-doc should go to Fifth Place and get 9 millon.
The weekend will do alright, though Iron Man 2 will give it a nice boost in a few weeks.

DVD review: Castle In The Sky
After reviewing three masterpieces in a row from Studio Ghibli, Castle In The Sky feels a little..puny. Not bad mind you. But it may just be the weak link at Studio Ghibli.
Sheeta, a young woman, is attacked by air pirates while being escorted by a a shady general. She soon learns (along with a man named Pazu) about Laputa, the last remaining floating city in the world.
Visually, the film is a treat like all Ghibli films. But the film feels like 10 minutes could easily be snipped, mainly chase scenes. The film just also dosen't have the basic emotions perfect, like Totoro or even Ponyo. Still, it's nearly impossible for Hayoa Myizaki to make a dud and this fillm still delivers thrills and excitmeent. It's just a little too plodding.

DVD Review: Kiki's Delivery Service
Avatar took 12 years to make. That's a rarity for a film to take that long to make. But what if it took a decade to release a film that was finished? That was the case with Kiki's Delivery Service, released in Japan in 1989 and released to the USA in 1999.
Kiki is 13 and a witch in training. The problem is, her only ability as a witch is to fly. So (obviously from the title) Kiko starts a delivery service. However, her powers are starting to dissapear and she may not be able to save her best friend if trouble arises...
Ghibli can always be counted on bringing films brimming with imagination and wonder. Kiki is no exception. Here he brings the life of a teen and a witch together so realistically, it boggles the mind. The animation also makes the city another character altogeher..one that seems to be safe and caring. Combine that with great animation and voice acting and you have another Myizaki winner!

DVD Review: My Neighbor Totoro
Ghibli delivers! That's the main thing I can say about Totoro, one of the greatest films ever. Hayoa is a defenite filmmaker and this is the perfect slice of how great he can be.
Satsuki and Mei move into a new house in Japan, only to discover two small spirits who lead the girls to..Totoro, the keeper of the forest. However, the girls mother is getting sicker and sicker and soon Totoro (and a Catbus) will become more and more important to he girls...
The animation of this film will leave you breathless and the entire film reminds you fo E.t. or (For modern comparision) How To Train Your Dragon. The girls seem real, showing Hayoa Myizaki's knowledge of chuldhood. This would be kept up in the almost equal film Ponyo. The film itself boats great visuals pacing and heart. Easily one of the best movies ever, it's quite a charmer and will leave you breathless.

DVD Review: Alice In Wonderland
Disney is known for his animation. But his very first works combined both animation and live-action, like Who Framed Roger Rabbit would do decades later. These live-action/animation shorts were based upon the Alice In Wonderland tales Walt had read in his childhood. And in 1951, Walt created (Arguably) the most famous adaptation of Lewis Carrol's book.
Alice is a small girl who runs down a hole in search of a white rabbit. She learns that she has stumbled into a zany world called Wonderland, where mad hatters and Cheshire Cats roam free. But how can she get home? That's the puzzler...
I am a large Disneyana fan. And, let me just say right now, we are rabid about Walt Disney movies. But for some reason, as a child (and today) I didn't get it. Not only isn't there a plot line, there really isn't an objective throughout. You get the feeling they're missing up great story opportunities that Tim Burton's adaptation did so perfectly.
The voices are great though. The immortal Sterling Halloway does wonders as that perfect Cheschire Cat. And Kathryn Beaumont does her second Disney heroine role here (she also does Wendy in Peter Pan). Still, the film, like Peter Pan, is a bit on the weaker side of Walt's classics.

Film Review: Letters To God
As gooey as carmel, this christian film is really just..oozey. And not in a good way.
Tyler is a small boy diagnosed with cancer. He soons starts sending letters to God himself as a way to see if his life wil lget better. The letters change a depress and alcholic mailman who soon changes the community forever...
Like Facing The Giants, the film goes for your heart and never lets go. Toruble is, like those films, you get tired of it's tugging after a while. Honestly, the film is boring and never has much tension for a film about a cnacer-stricken child. You wish some kind of conflict of any sort would hop right in..but it never does. The film just sticks in your mind for 3 seconds..before being forgotten forever.

Blu-Ray Review: Where The Wild Things Are
Book adaptations are as fickle as they come. Some are great (How To Train Your Dragon, Fantastic Mr. Fox) others fail miserably (The Golden Compass, The Lightning Thief). Where does The Wild Things adaptation fall? In the great category.
Max has a rough sister and is doing badly in school. One night, when his Mom's boyfriend comes over, he makes a scene and bites his Mom. After being called a wild thing, he runs off and finds a boat that takes him to a dangerous land. Full of dnagerous inhabitants.
The film impresses thanks to it's "Who Needs Kids?" approach. The film is dark, very dark. But so was the book. In fact, the film takes the books spirit and stretches it to a wonderful 100 minutes that will make you realize something: being a kid is heck. Horrible in other words. Other films would make childhood like like heaven. This says kids are given the worst in life and have to deal with more problems than adults can dream of.
The wild things home is an impressive visual experience. The animatronics/CGI approach gives realism and depth to the creaters. They seem to be exactly as a child might imagine. It's really beautiful. This film may have been snubbed in the Best Picture category, but here at Doug's Domain, it gets an A+!!

Blu-Ray Review: Ponyo
Hayoa Myizaki has always had a soft spot in this ol' heart o' mine. I adore My Neighobr Totoro and Spirited Away, so a new film from him is always welcome. And this film is quite a show-stopper...a defenite Ghibli classic!
Sosuke is a small boy who finds a fish called Ponyo. Ponyo and Sosuke fall in love though, which angers Ponyo's father (Liam Neeson) who is also the father of the sea. Now Ponyo, Sosuke and Sosuke's mother (Tina Fey) have to save the planet...before it's too late.
What's nice the about the film is how relaxed it is. Modern day American animation is fast-paced and frentic. This film is calm and dosen't care if you doze off or not. This is a refreshing approach and one tha may make for a jarring experience for some, the rest of us will enjoy it.
The vocies are also top-notch. The Cyrus and Jonas siblings voice Ponyo and Sosuke and are surprisingly robust. Liam Neeson does well here, evoking Taken in his role as angered father. Cate Blanchett also does well as Ponyo's mother.
The film is a grand experience, one that will defenitly lift your spirits. Hayoa has delivered again!

DVD Review: The Great Mouse Detective
Easily one of the most underrated films in the vast library of Disney films, The Great Mouse Detective delivers on all ffronts: ented rtainemnt, action and animation.
Basil is a famous British detective who finds his old nemesis Dr. Ratigan kidnapping an inventor. Along with his new assiistant Dawson and the inventor's duaghter and his trusty dog Toby, he'll have to stop Ratigan...before it's too late!
Obviously, the film stars mice and the 1986 Disney artists used a lot of creativity here, making this micey world seem very real and using inventive objects to use as halls and stools. However, the main standout has to be Vincient Price as Ratigan. The master of fright delights as the nemesis, singing and giving him an edge that Glen Keane's brilliant animation complements perfectly.
It may not be the Lion King, but The Great Mouse Detective delivers as an enetertaining slice of Disney and mouse cinema.

Film Review: Date Night
Steve Carrel is a genuis. Tina Fey is side-splitting, gut busting funny. Combine it hem and what do you get? A mediocore slice of comedy, undone by too many cameos and action scenes.
Steve and tina play a couple who have gotten into a routine. A fairly boring routine. When their friends (played with perfect wit by Kristen Wiig and Mark Ruffalo) divorce, they fear they're heading down the same path. So they go out to a fancy restraunt. After they steal a reservation, though, they find the couple they stole that reservation from are being hunted by spies...
Obviously, all HAS to end up well here. That's not the main porlbem here. The main crack in the fixture is this: the action is badly paced and (strangely) feels out of place. When Steve and Tina are throwing jokes around, the film peaks. When Ray Liotta and many, many, many, many MANY MANY others turn up, though, it ruins what could've been classic comedic pairing.
That's not to say the film is all bad. Mark and Kristen are show-stealers and,m as I said, Steve and Tina were born to be a duo. And Mark Wahlberg's scene will have you in stitches (why else is he in the other photo in this review?) The film just suffers from being too many things...and yet still having enough to warrant a rental or (perhaps) a date night.

Film Review: Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland
Tim Burton is the filmmaker emodiement of mood swings. First he's making Ed Wood, then he goes off and makes the abominable 2001 remake of Planet of The Apes film. Alice is a return to the things that made him great in his early filmmaking years.
Alice in this version is not some daffy 9 year old. Oh no. She's a maturing 19 year old, about to be married off to some rich clot. owever, she gets distracted by a white rabbit that leads her down a hole into Underland (she misheard it last time) There she must confront her fears and life itself.
The most notable thing about the film are the visuals. Almost at an Avtar level of realism and human-to-CGI interactivity, some of the creatures are very beautiful I can say without a doubt the Cheschie Cat is among the greatest creations in CGI film to date. Alice also seems to really live with the characters and you feel like your there! It's quite an experience, especially in IMAX 3D.
Johnny Depp once again shows why he's the modern day king of acting.In one of his best performances to date, he give depth and realism to this crazy hatter. He's defenitly one heck of a performance and I wouldn't be surprised at all to see an Oscar nom. come in 2011.
This film has visuals and great acting through the teeth. It's one of the best fantasies ever. I can wholeheartedly say it's a fun romp, a great example of perfect 3D and one of Tim Burton's best.

*Thor 2 (4th of July 2013) (Disney)
That's all for now. Hope it's true!

An Impossible Bird
Brad Bird. What a man. From doing the Simpsons to the iron Giant to The Incredibles to Ratatouille (best film of 2007), he has a golden touch, making everything better with his nod. Now, Brad Bird may postpone his 1906 film for....
M:I4
Or Mission Impossible 4 for you philistines.
Negotiating as we speak.

Film Review: Clash of The Titans
I just can't hate a film where 3 giant scorpions duke it out while humans try to escape their claws. That's too much fun to resist. Though it has atrocious 3D, this film overall is better than the norm.
After seeing his adoptive parents killed, Perseus learns Hades plans to unleash the Kracken to destroy all of humanity. Percy and a ragtag group of men go off in search of their destiny...
This film is fun. Fun, fun fun fun FUN!!! The Kracken is an example of this. If a smile dosent come to your face when you see him, it's amazing. Perseus is also a fun ride. He may not act well, but he does his job as a warrior right. Liam Neeson does well and scorpions...well their perfect.
The 3D though, is an abomination. I love 3D and I feel like in How To Train Your Dragon, Alice In Wonderland and especially Avatar, 3D was used to advance the story. Like Alice, this film was CONVERTED to 3D. Unlike Alice, they thought of doing 3D, 11weeks before it came out. Watching the film in 3D is like drinking Near Beer or a Diet Soda. Not the full monty and many will get it if you dress it up like the real thing. Many asked for refunds actually after the screening. If I hadn't seen it in XD, I would've joined them.
Despite that, this is one fun ride and it's a good time overall..just see it in 2D!
One final note: best cameo of the year is in here. Just wait until you see it.
Rating: 7.4 out of 10 or B
