Films Reviewed: Kicking and Screaming
and It's All Gone Pete Tong Commentary:
Robert Duvall Featurette: The
fighting in Revenge of the Sith Regarding Kicking and Screaming: Matt: A kiddie
sports film for adults. And the adults were acting more like
children. Will Ferrell is a funny guy, but this routine got old
quickly. And Robert Duvall is too good an actor to slum in a role like
this. But the soccer action did look pretty good. Two stars. Aron: I felt like
crying after seeing this. I was in that much pain. Robert Duvall is
back in Great Santini
mode here and it was very overdone. And will people stop making
these Bad News Bears
types of films. I'm going to be generous: two stars. Average Rating: ** (out of
****) Regarding It's All Gone Pete Tong : Aron: Being a former DJ, I
could really appreciate the way this film was made. We are given a story
about a DJ going deaf and how he finds his way back into life. Not a bad
little film, but not the "mockumentary" that the press has made it out
to be. Three stars. Matt: The DJ
goes deaf because he abuses drugs. And I can't feel sorry for anybody in
that situation. The music was good, though. Two stars. Average Rating: **1/2 (out of
****) Commentary: Robert Duvall
has had quite the career. Aron and Matt take a few minutes to look at some
of his best (and worst) roles. Featurette: The fighting
in Revenge of the Sith.
Lots of exciting stuff!
