Rocky Balboa (2006)
Not a fan, but still worth a watch...
Went to the screening on the 14th of December and I am not a fan, but it was a good movie with plenty of scenes with comedy and drama. It pays tribute to the Rocky series and defiantly has style to it. Some shots were great, with the acting, writing, and direction, while others were average. So it weighs out to be about an above average movie to me, especially since I felt a little left out from not seeing the other five movies. You do not need to see the other five, but you certainly feel like you wish you had to understand some parts of the plots and characters.
Check out the movie if you get a chance.
Freedomland (2006)
Going through hell at the movies...
This movie is terrible. Every once in a while I will see a movie which I can tell others to do themselves a favor by never watching a movie. This is one of these movies.
Acting: I thought a few scenes were bad in Flightplan. Where I did not feel captivated in the film and felt like I was on set for a practice shot. This is not the case in Freedomland. Acting respectable in this film, however the scenes are just plainly drawn out and boring. Somebody reviews this film before, saying it was a "B" rated movie attempting to be an Oscar. It is exactly that, except it is a "D" rated movie attempting to add a million pointless scenes in order to make it in some way seem deep or intelligent. Pointless scenes are equivalent to people just staring at each other or crying for several minutes.
Category: This is what kills the movie the most. It is in my opinion a suspense type movie. However, there is no suspense. They make you think something brilliant or mysterious is happening in the film, but nothing happens.
Theme: The movie is suppose to be a suspense-thriller which a lady is in search for her son, but the primary message is racism? A black guy attempted to justify this as being a good movie due to it containing concepts of racism. Screw that, while Crash was a tad force it was 1000x better than this damn movie. Want to see a good racism movie, watch Green Mile or American History X.
Anyways, I urge you to save your time and money.
