Myles' mess: April 2008
http://www.uyema.net/2008_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 11, 2008. I'm on a roll with Hollywood Historicals recently. The Bank Job. Is yet another movie in a string of movies that I've seen, based loosely on historical events. This one is about a 9/11 bank robbery in the year 1971. Holy crap, that's exactly 30 years before 9/11/2001. Coincidence? Holy crap, there's a porn king who owns a bunch of brothels and has cops on the payroll. What would a bank robbery movie be without corrupt police officers? The government wants this bank robbery to happ...

Myles' mess: March 2008
http://www.uyema.net/2008_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 29, 2008. Loosely based on true events, 21. Is the Hollywood depiction of six MIT students who raked in the money counting cards at the blackjack tables in Las Vegas. This movie is based on the book Bringing Down the House. By Ben Mezrich. I haven't read the book fully, I actually read the juicy parts in a Wired Article: Hacking Las Vegas. The Cooler was a great movie, but I digress. Anyway, I won't spoil the rest of the movie, but if you read the Wired article you've probably gotten your...

Myles' mess: Get Smart: quite entertaining
http://www.uyema.net/2008/07/get-smart-quite-entertaining.html
Wednesday, July 16, 2008. Get Smart: quite entertaining. Get Smart stars Steve Carell in an action-comedy of secret agents and saving the world. The original Maxwell Smart television series was something I vaguely remember from my youth. Most importantly I remember he used his shoe as a communication device. I always used to play with my own shoephone as a kid. But I digress. Well, after years of yearning, Steve gets his wish. He gets to be a field agent! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Myles' mess: Must see: 50/50
http://www.uyema.net/2011/10/must-see-5050.html
Monday, October 10, 2011. So I really liked 50/50. Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as a 27-year old guy named Adam who gets the short straw in life - cancer. And it's one of those unpronounceable types of cancer too, so it's difficult when he tries to explain it to other people. Of course not, so the best defense is to use humor to lighten the mood. This movie is a comedy after all. Worse would be if you just numb yourself to your pain, and not *feel* anything or let yourself feel the emotional rush that woul...

Myles' mess: September 2011
http://www.uyema.net/2011_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 1, 2011. 30 Minutes or Less. A hapless pizza delivery guy gets coerced into robbing a bank. Some dickheads strap a bomb onto poor Jesse Eisenberg and give him 10 hours to get 100,000 dollars in cash. This movie goes all over the place with jokes and gags, and it's rated R too so it gets dirty sometimes, as well as violent. People get punched, kicked, shot, burned, maybe all the same person even. It's definitely a mixed bag, but I kind of liked it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Myles' mess: May 2008
http://www.uyema.net/2008_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 23, 2008. Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull: ungood. Going in with high hopes is a sure disappointment. Harrison Ford is an old man, he needs to retire already. That Fedora of his needs to be colored so he can become the spokesman of RedHat in his old age, much like the venerable William Shatner is for Priceline.com. Again, it could be my age. Damn, I'm 32 now. Where has the time gone? I wasted it watching this movie. C for Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. Monday, May 12, 2008. Ashton K...
