Resident Evil: Retribution (2012)
good movie for res fans
is it a movie for film snobs? nope. is it for people who watch a film a week?. nope. what is this film? it's a cgi filled video game on wheels.
what gets me is all the negative reviews of this movie. what did you expect? an award winner? a picture that leaves a deep feeling of "wow what a thought provoking piece of art"? this is a video game put to the really big screen.
this is a movie to watch for big 'splosions and huge action.the best part of this movie is that people won't like it. are you a res fan? check. do you like movies that just entertain without pretense? check. like a movie that just kills a couple hours and makes you happy? check.
lets let the nature of this movie stand. it is what it is it's not high art, but f*** it 'splosions are awesome!
Waiting for 'Superman' (2010)
great movie as a jumping off point
After watching this movie all i could do was think about my school experience. I never thought of it before but i can't think of a single time where a teacher "taught" anything. i mean it. They told us what page to go to. Or told us which books to check out of the library. As for the memory where a teacher inspired me, nothing.
I knew nothing of schools "tracking" students or that the tenured teacher is a permanent feature, never to leave ever. I just knew that my teachers were old and tired of teaching. This is a pretty tragic fact because i went to all magnet schools. The schools where a student is "tracked" to become a scientist or a doctor. Imagine what i could have been.
Oh well! This movie shows a one sided view (with subtle hints to other problems) of a school system that's broken. I went through it, and it was broken here in Chicago 20 years ago. still is and probably will be for some time. the movie goes after the teachers unions and rightfully so as were seeing in Ohio and Wisconsin right now. People are sick of tenure and want school reform from the top down. I gave this movie 8/10 because it was a very informative but i was left wanting ideas on how to fix our teachers and schools.
