tháng 1 2010 ~ The Larsen Film Review

Surrogates (2009)

Bruce Willis stars in a film very similar to two others that came out this year: Avatar & Gamer. The underlying central theme in all of these is controlling a robot through a machine.So you strap yourself in to become that person. You feel what they feel, and can live your...

James Cameron's project that took him years to complete and depleted his savings. The biggest film since Titanic and the one that might just make 3D movies stick. Winner of this years Golden Globe, nominated for 9 Oscars, and sitting in the top 50 on the imdb's all-time top...

With an Oscar nomination this week it is pretty easy to see why this is one of the front runners for winning Best Documentary Feature. With The Cove as its main competition, expect a review for that film later this month.This documentary takes a look at America's corporate...

Starring Jennifer Jones (born in Tulsa, OK... just like me) and William Holden (The Wild Bunch). This is one of those Oscar nominated films I dread to watch. It won Oscars for Costume Design and Music and was nominated for Acting and Picture.So why did I watch it? Well it...

After several weeks of work we are finally here, the top 20 of the decade! These are the 20 films you should definitely take the time to watch.20. 21 Grams (2003) [10/10]Sean Penn, Naomi Watts, and Benicio Del Toro in a fantastic yet sad film. They say you lose 21 grams...

This movie is exactly what the title says... a movie starring Funny People. The movie itself is really not all that funny. Sure there are some very funny parts, which are mostly the stand-up comedy portions of the film, but it is the people themselves are are funny, not the...

It is pretty hard to convince people to watch a silent film. Cinema has evolved a lot over the last 100 years so why would you want to watch something so slow, black & white, and with no dialogue.So to be worth watching in this day and age you really have to have some qualities...

This film is directed by Guy Ritchie, who's last film was RocknRolla, which should have told me that this would be a British movie that is hard to understand. Don't get me wrong, I really liked RocknRolla, but you have to accept that you aren't going to be able to understand...

The US National Film Preservation Board established a National Film Preservation Act in 1988. Each year 25 films are selected to be included in the National Film Registry at the Library of Congress. Each 25 films are culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant films...

The best of some minor genres start to pop-up here, some surprises, and some that would be expected. Let's get started with part 4.40. Hotel Rwanda (2004) [9/10]Don Cheadle's incredible performance as a hotel owner who saved many many people during a brutal civil war in Rwanda....

This 20 minute film meant a lot for American history. Selected to the Library of Congress' Nation Film Registry in 1998 this is the film that got Charles Chaplin deported in 1952. They used the footage of him kicking an immigration officer as evidence of anti-Americanism.It...

The thing about the older films I have been watching is that they were excellent when they came out. most I find good or at least average. So when I come across one I just don't like at all it makes me wonder how it has lasted so long. This film was just not good, Barbara Stanwyck...

I went into this film knowing that it is a collection of short films. Not just short films, but really short films, we are talking about 18 films in 120 minutes, so when you discount opening and closing credits we at about 5 minutes a story.The part I didn't know is that it...

This was the most anticipated film of the awards season for me. With a buzz that Peter Jackson was making a film based on this best selling book it was favored to be in Oscar contention (that was before people actually saw the thing). I will use this as a rule of thumb in the...

The American Film Institute picked this film as part of its top 10 from 2009 and ESPN nominated it for the ESPY for Best Sports Film of the Year. It lost to The Express a film I intend to watch later this year, but fully expect this only lost because no one knew much about...

As we start part 3 of the top 100 of the decade, you will notice that from here on out we are down to 9/10 and 10/10 films. What is the difference from this point? Personal opinion. As I have said before... a 10/10 is something I would like to own, a 9/10 is a great movie......

Written, Directed, and Starring Jerry Lewis. If there is one Lewis film to see, I've been told this is the one to watch. Just barely making it on the AFI 100 Laughs of All-Time at #99, the inclusion seems like they wanted Lewis himself on their list more than this particular...

Disney returns to its classic animation style. They aren't seeing the profit margins they were hoping for, and the time and effort was much more expensive than a quick CGI Animation. I just hope they realize that these are the animations that will last forever. This is the first...
