Contraband

120128 Contraband

Contraband is a tense,  hard driving nail-biting action thriller your Mom won’t like for the foul language. Dad would be OK with it   because it’s a heist flick with twists and turns. Not  recommend for a child 15 years of age or under. My rating: 5 out of 10. Nuff said.

Lucas Done With Star Wars Films?

If his statements during a recent interview with the New York Times are any indication, we’re not going to see any more Star Wars movies from George Lucas.

“Why would I make any more,” Lucas says of the “Star Wars” movies, “when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?”

Course he  has a point honestly. He catches a lot of shit from fans whenever he tries to do anything new with the franchise in the way of film.

Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

120102 Girl w the Dragon Tattoo

8 out 10: good story, good execution, violent! A terse, dark,  thrilling account  of an investigation into a serial killer that flows well and reads like a book with  varied imagery and description of killings, dialog that moves and a plot you won’t get ahead of  to figure out whodunit. Some steamy sex scenes and some  quite violent including bondage and a rape; the crimes would keep me from allowing my children 15 or 16 and under from seeing this, though Mom & Dad would love the story while  I’d not be comfortable watching those steamy  and violent scenes with  my folks, so not a good family flick. Rooney Mara as Craig’s research assistant? Don’t know what else she’s been in,  but she has the perfect edginess  for her role in this and pulls it off really well.
