Okay:
I'm, uh, getting a little burnt out on this "movie review" thing. Seriously, I've reviewed like 25 movies over the last month or so. But, I made a commitment to you, dear reader, to review every single film I watched on SAG's dime before I voted for the awards this year and, by gum, I'm gonna do it. So, here're a bunch of 'em, in friendly (and short) haiku format:
My Big Fat Greek Weddingstretch a fun sitcom to two hours, add too much hype: you'll smile, but not laugh. |
Barbershopthere's much to like here, but why not cast a real old black man, not Cedric? |
Red DragonEd Norton should play psychos, and men on the edge. I liked Manhunter. |
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secretsa fine book ruined by poor, lazy storytelling. my wife fell asleep. |
Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhoodexactly what I expected, no more, no less. a chick flick? I guess. |
Auto Focusif Crane's story was interesting as the cast, I'd have liked this flick. |
Road to Perditionbeautiful, but cold. I liked this film, but promptly forgot I'd seen it. |
The Rookieall family flicks should be made with as much care. good script, good acting. |
Igby Goes DownJeff Goldblum gets caught with his pants down, by Culkin. what's not to like here? |
Minority Reportsmart science fiction turns retarded in the last twenty minutes. crap. |
David is an actor, writer and producer in Los Angeles. He's the founder and editor-in-chief of CSP, and a founding producer of the acclaimed Lucid by Proxy theater company. Despite all this, he still has to hold down a day job in the dot-com world, where he does product and interaction design. His acting has been called "committed," "detailed," "fearless," "hilarious" and "heart-rending" by the LA Times and Backstage West. His writing has been called "articulate and commanding" and "eminently readable" by Flak Magazine. His tenth grade Geometry teacher said he "does not work well in groups." David lives in a little bungalow in the Valley with his talented and lovely wife, Shannon, and two fluffy cats. |
