Movie of the Week Pt. 2: Inside Man


Probably one of the best Spike Lee joints in awhile (I reckon since 25th Hour.)

But, damnit Spike, can you do ONE movie with out the trademark rolling track shot?

I know it's your thing but at this point, you are just doing it just to do it. The one in this film was kinda pointless.

Anyway, back to the movie...it's always great to see a movie where every actor is someone who's work you appreciate so to see Jodie Foster, Denzel Washington and Clive Owen face off is a dream.

As far as the plot goes, it a combination of Dog Day Afternoon, The Usual Suspects and...Quick Change.

And of course, even with a heist film, Spike had to drop some social commentary.

Movie of the Week Pt. 1: Thank You For Smoking



I hadn't read too many reviews for the movie but I was pleasantly surprised.

It was really funny. I laughed throughout the entire movie.

At one point, I thought it would get serious and switch gears and surer than shit it did...

For about five minutes.

Then it was back on track.

This was the role Aaron Eckhart was born to play. He hasn't been this good since In The Company of Men.

Everyone was great (Katie Holmes was only slightly annoying)

I AM going to drink again

Another rough night.

I woke up this mo...afternoon.

And as I was driving through Brooklyn with the biggest headache that was not caused by me hitting my head on something, I said those magic words.

I am never drinking again.

I called my friend who was a witness and declared to her that this was it...this was the time I was going to stop drinking.

Then I remembered I'm going out for drinks on Thursday.

Actually, I organized it.

Shit.

I'm not drinking again starting SATURDAY.

Really.
