2026年1月28日 评论 a review of 摇滚卡斯巴 - It's basically just Bill Murray having a crazy time in Afghanistan. He runs into mercenaries, arms dealers, and a really sexy Kate Hudson. Along the way there are explosions, stolen passports, and other crazy hijinks before the movie settles on the core plot of Murray's "Richie" stumbling onto some real talent. The results are unfortunately rather uneven.  As far as the comedy goes it's got some chuckles here and there and some one liners that may grant a little more of a reaction. Bill Murray is just as fantastic as ever, so that ensures at least a few laughs no matter how bad the material is. Not that it actually is bad, just sadly lackluster. While far from a laugh riot we at least get Murray's rendition of "Smoke On The Water" and some clever dialogue.  The rest of the cast is just as good. They just aren't given as much to do. We've got the likes of Bruce Willis and Danny McBride in more humorous, albeit limited supporting roles. It's not hard to notice though that a lot of these characters don't stick around for long. They'll show up for a gag or two and maybe move the plot along a little and then they're gone. It naturally leads to some muddled storytelling.  Like I mentioned earlier in my review, a lot of crazy stuff happens before the movie starts to deliver the tale it wants to tell. When it does finally start telling it, the movie tries to offer up some commentary on Middle Eastern culture. It never quite manages to actually say anything and as a result there's nothing profound to be found here. While there are some amusing bits scattered throughout it's just not funny enough to be considered a good comedy. It's also not smart enough to be considered good satire. With characters regularly coming and going in the plot it's kind of hard to care about what's going on, especially when some departures make elements of it hard to follow.  This is the Murray show. The actor is once again as likable as ever and elevates the material to something higher than it's worth. He manages to wring some laughs out of the dry material. Unfortunately he can't work miracles. All in all it's an ill-conceived movie. One that perhaps was trying to do something good, but was unable to do so thanks to the botched execution. Bill Murray is able to make it watchable, but unable to make it worth watching.

2026年1月28日 评论 a review of 超能敢死队 - Met with a ton of controversy, disappointment at the box office, and to top it all off it just isn't a good movie. While not an absolute abomination, there's no doubt this doesn't live up to the classic. That's because Paul Feig shows here that he apparently doesn't know how to handle making a comedy without an R rating. The movie fires off jokes like a comic machinegun. It's clear that Feig and crew are trying to fill every spare second with some kind of gag. Not exactly a bad thing given how bare bones the plot is. The problem? Their aim isn't that great. Look back at Feig's previous works, particularly with Melissa McCarthy. The man knows vulgar, raunchy humor. That is both his and McCarthy's specialty. As a result they both feel out of place in a more family-friendly comedy. Feig's script is screaming for d*ck jokes and McCarthy is floundering onscreen not being able to deliver them. As a result, they both feel out of place here. You'd expect to see Kristen Wiig in something like this, but not McCarthy. The movie isn't devoid of laughs though. Every now and then it will hit some clever dialog or an amusing gag that will incite some amusement. It's just that the majority of it's running time the humor is lackluster. Cringe-worthy at it's worst. The perfect example of this comes in the form of Kate McKinnon's performance. Meant to be the crazy, funny member of the team, McKinnon instead just comes off as obnoxious. A fault of the writing and not necessarily the actress. The actual conflict these new Ghostbusters face doesn't fare much better. It's all just a bunch of ghostly nonsense brought about by one of the weakest villains cinema has seen in many, many years. The (not so) special-effects driven action scenes are just kind of there. It's a mediocre remake. Perhaps it's the misused talent or just bad inception altogether. Regardless of the reasoning, this is a movie that just falls short.
