Conviction Movie Review ..

At its heart, Conviction is about a woman with dogged determination and lengths she will go to prove her brother’s innocence. That brother is Kenny Walters (Rockwell), and his doggedly determined sister is Betty Anne Walters (Swank). The events that take place in Conviction are based on a true story.

Kenny isn’t what you’d call a nice guy. He drinks way too much and unleashes a wild streak that no one can endure. Kenny is sometimes mean, and every shrugs it off because, well “that’s just him”. The way Kenny drinks, I’m fairly sure would classify him as an alcoholic, and that is the source of Kenny’s biggest problems.

One night in 1980 the woman living in the trailer next door to Kenny is murdered, and he is the primary suspect. Despite the flimsy evidence, Kenny makes the mistake of insulting the female cop (Leo) investigating him. Kenny is subsequently convicted and begins serving a life sentence in 1983 for his neighbor’s murder.

After his conviction, Kenny exhausts all of his appeals options in an attempt to win his freedom. However without a lawyer there is nothing much Kenny can do but wait until his life sentence is over.

Enter the true heroine of Conviction, Kenny’s sister Betty Anne. Betty Anne is an unemployed single mother of two, and the Conviction of her little brother changes the trajectory of her life. Betty Anne is heartbroken over what she views as her brother’s wrongful conviction but as a high school dropout, she is hardly in the position to do anything about it…until she is.

Conviction is Betty Anne’s courageous tale of determination. Dedicated to proving Kenny’s innocence, Betty Anne goes back to school to earn her high school diploma, then her college and law degrees, all with the single focus of freeing Kenny from prison. After all Kenny may be an awfully mean drunk, but that doesn’t mean he’s guilty.

If Betty Anne’s actions seem extraordinary to you, it’s because they are. Betty and Kenny came from what can only be described as an absent and abused household. They spent plenty of time inside the dark world of foster homes, and relied on each other to make it out in tact. Betty’s gratitude to Kenny for his strength then is repaid by her strength, now.

By 1995 Betty Anne has received her law degree, and together with her friend Abra Rice (Driver) and the Innocence Project, they set out to find the truth about Kenny’s Conviction. There are many facts that just don’t sit right about his conviction, namely the “witnesses” who claim to have seen him at the crime scene. All of this however is guesswork because the film plays with the idea that maybe Kenny is guilty after all and Betty Anne simply refuses to believe it.

Despite the best efforts of the cop that railroaded Kenny, Betty Anne overturns Kenny’s conviction using DNA evidence and he walks out of prison in March 2001. But for the hard work and dedication of his sister, Kenny would have spent far more than 18 years in prison.

Like many films based on true stories, Conviction skates incredibly close to becoming formulaic. There are the overly dramatic scenes that are sure to leave you in tears and depleting your Kleenex reserves, and that’s not a bad thing. Conviction could have become just another crime melodrama, but Swank and Rockwell are far too good to let that happen.

Swank embodies Betty Anne beautifully, adding a quiet air of dignity and determination to working class woman. Swank shines playing Betty Anne, a character whose only real flaw is the lack of education that prevents her from helping her convicted brother for nearly 2 decades. And she combats that flaw by correcting the problem and alienating her friends and family to free him from what she is certain is a wrongful conviction.

Rockwell does magnificent as troubled drinker Kenny Waters. He’s not a nice guy and he doesn’t apologize for it, but you can see the depth in his eyes and the humanity in his heart when he and Swank are on screen together. Together they took the stripped down emotion of two hard-luck kids and made beautiful chemistry on screen. You can see Betty Anne leaning into her protector who has now become the protected. Without Swank and Rockwell Conviction becomes more than another played out courtroom drama.

The supporting characters are the only place I could really find a flaw with Conviction. Although Abra does provide comic relief and support to Betty Anne, Minnie Driver deserved more than a one-dimensional character who for some reason also dedicates her life to Kenny’s conviction. The cop Nancy Taylor was even less than one-dimensional, but I refuse to consider it a bad thing because Conviction needed a boogeyman to make the drama work effectively.

Conviction tells the story of Betty Anne and Kenny wonderfully, if not a little too dramatic. The build up to the courtroom scene is great, but I should say that I do love a good courtroom drama.

The lead actors make Conviction more than it should have been to their great credit. Conviction is a film I was prepared to hate despite Swank’s name being involved with it. She does well in just about anything, and Rockwell continues to show that he can deliver any role successfully.

Conviction has everything necessary for a good film; good actors, a solid story filled with obstacles to overcome and villains to hate. And you won’t have any boring post-movie conversations while discussing the horrible injustice of wrongful convictions.

The Fighter Movie Review …

Mark Wahlberg stars in Paramount Pictures’ inspirational docudrama exploring the remarkable rise of Massachusetts-born, junior welterweight title winner “Irish” Micky Ward. A determined pugilist whose career in the ring was shepherded by his loyal half-brother, Dicky (Christian Bale), a hard-living boxer-turned-trainer whose own career in the ring was nearly sent down for the count due to drugs and crime.

The Fighter recounts the tale of how the perennial underdog Irish Micky rebounded from a disheartening series of defeats to win both the WBU Intercontinental Lightweight title with nothing more than a fierce combination of determination and hard work. But as it turns out for Micky, the battle in his own life with his tight knit extended family is just as fierce as the battles in the ring.

The moment The Fighter was released, there was instant Oscar buzz of this film and of the actors, and all that attention is well deserved. For some reason, boxing films have always done well in Hollywood, and The Fighter is yet another great addition to the vast collection of boxing films. But how does this film featuring Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale stack up against the rest? The best description would be that The Fighter has the heart of Rocky (1976) and the grittiness of Raging Bull (1980).

The story of Micky Ward, like most other sport films, is the story of the down trodden reaching for greatness with nothing more than perseverance and determination. Ward’s transformation from a “stepping stone” in the boxing world to his eventual championship is a remarkable metamorphosis. For most sport film, it is this aspect that the film embraces, which creates a heart-warming and pleasant film, but often leaves the film lopsided. The other half of the film, which fills most of the movie’s 114 minute running time, shows a gritty, yet realistic, view on the world outside of the ring.

In the case of Micky Ward, the dark side of his life is his tight-knit extended family that is, perhaps without their knowledge, being over-controlling of Micky’s boxing career. The other baring insight that the audience learns is that Ward’s step-brother, Dicky, is a former boxer turned trainer trying to get his own career restarted, but his life has been ruined by a heavy addiction to cocaine and other drug use.

Where The Fighter is a lot like every other sport film that have been made over the years and is quite predictable because we know that it is a true story, it is perhaps one of the best acted boxing films ever made. The three lead actors give the performances of their careers to make The Fighter a truly fantastic film. In the forefront of the film is Mark Wahlberg who plays the great boxer Micky “Irish” Ward.

When the film began, I thought we were going to get another typical “Mark Wahleberg” performance, but what we get is a subdued boxer that is living in the shadows of his brother’s once rising career. Forced to make the tough decisions in order to please his family, his new girl friend, and his own life goals, Wahlberg plays a man shackled by his own need to be a good person.

The surprise performance in The Fighter is Amy Adams’ who plays Ward’s new love interest Charlene Fleming. In a lot of ways, Charlene is exactly like Ward because she tried to make something great out of herself by going to college but ended up serving drinks in the local pub. She’s smart, independent, and quite attractive, but more interesting, she acts as the voice of Micky who is unable to voice his own opinions about his own career to his controlling family. But the show stealer of The Fighter is none other than one of my long time favourite actors, Christian Bale.

In a move that is reminiscent of his film The Machinist (2003), don’t feel bad, almost no one saw it, Bale has lost almost all of his weight to look like the disgustingly gaunt and aged Dicky Eklund, step brother of Micky Ward. Eklund is trying to regain his boozing status as being the first boxer to knock down Sugar Ray Leonard during a professional match. Eklund taught Ward everything he knows about fighting, but the time for a successful future in boxing for Ward runs against the successful past in boxing for Eklunds.

Eklund is now trying to spank the monkey on his back known as crack. In fact he is the subject of an HBO documentary about crack. Eklund gets high, misses training sessions, and breaks laws to feed his addiction. Bale’s depiction of Dicky Eklund is amazing spot on from his charismatic nature to his many drug problems, but his character is the most dynamic of the film, and his transformation through the film is amazing. And like I already said, I’m a huge fan, and this is easily his best performance to date.

The great thing about The Fighter is that it is an Oscar worthy film that is actually watchable by the majority of people because it isn’t such an incredibly heavy or dark film. The Fighter is full of great performances, has a heart warming story featuring the underdog, and features some great boxing sequences. What’s really great about the film is its realism.

When there are boxing sequences, it looks like there are really boxing because they keep their hands up to block punches, unlike Rocky who liked to block punches with his face, and there are no cheesy training montages, only real life training in a gym. There are also some wonderful performances in The Fighter, in particular Christian Bale, who will probably receive an Oscar nomination, with a strong chance of winning in the supporting category. In the end, we have a great film that I highly recommend to everyone. For those who have seen other boxing dramas, you will probably know how this film ends, but whether it is predictable or not, the end of the film is a well worth the pay off.

The Runaways Movie Review …

The Runaways is the story of the 1970’s all-girl rock band of the same name. I’ll be honest and tell you that I had no real desire to see this film, but I was intrigued to see Fanning in a grown up role. The thought of watching Kristen Stewart in anything hadn’t really crossed my mind…until I actually sat down to watch The Runaways.

Before we begin, you should know that The Runaways is based on a book written by lead singer Cherie, which will help explain some of the gaps in the story. The book, Neon Angel is about Currie’s life as a rock star—the ups and the downs.

When The Runaways starts, the year is 1975 and Cherie (Fanning) shares the news with her sister Marie (Keough), that she has just gotten her period. Embarrassed that her sister reveals her secret to her boyfriend Derek, Cherie tells him that Marie is ‘going commando’, so to speak.

Now that Cherie’s gotten her period, we see her taking the scissors to her blond locks for the cooler and much sought after shag. She’s also putting on make up in a look that closely resembles David Bowie’s Aladdin Sane cover. We see Cherie performing at a talent show that she ultimately wins, but not before dozens of balls of paper are hurled onto the stage at her.

The story of The Runaways isn’t a unique one, but that’s not a bad thing. As much as we’d all like to believe it, there are only so many ways to have a rags-to-riches tale. Joan Jett (Stewart) is hanging outside a club when she spots record producer Kim Fowley (Shannon). Like any aspiring rock star, Joan introduces herself and they two talk about the possibility of a rock band—an all girl rock band. Kim introduces Joan to Sandy West (Maeve) who is a drummer. They become friends and work on their music.

Together Sandy and Joan decide that the band needs a hot blonde (don’t we all?). Joan and Kim hit a club in search of the perfect blonde where they find newly hot and feathered Cherie. They ask Cherie if she wants to be in a band (she does) and invite her to audition for them in a trailer park somewhere in the valley. It’s not exciting, but the early days never are.

Cherie’s audition doesn’t go as planned at all. Her audition song, “Fever” by Suzi Quatro doesn’t go over well with Joan, Sandy, and Lita (Taylor-Compton). Kim boots Cherie out the trailer while they come up with a real song she can sing. What they come up with is one of The Runaways’ biggest hits, “Cherry Bomb”. Cherie does a much better job and is now part of The Runaways.

As I stated before, The Runaways is based on a novel by Cherie Currie, which is why some of the bandmates get no mention at all (including Micki Steele and several other bass players), while others’ stories are hardly told (West and Lita Ford). Although The Runaways doesn’t bill itself as a biopic, the story is based on the lives of real people and you expect that the major players—like other bandmates—would warrant more than a few minutes of screen time.

What’s great about The Runaways is that it’s about the first all-girl rock band in an era where rock music was just finding its groove. And just like the era The Runaways defined, the film focuses mostly on the music, the drugs, and the sex. The pace of the movie is spastic in a good way and the mood of the movie is simply electric.

Fanning and Stewart put in solid performances in roles that don’t honestly require much acting. The personality of the 1970’s aspiring female rock star doesn’t require much depth of character. That being said, they both played the role of hungry artist as well as anyone. The real star however is Michael Shannon’s Kim Fowley. He’s very likely coked out for most of the movie and I’m pretty sure he’s one step above a pedophile, but he plays the role of Fowley to perfection.

What’s not so good about The Runaways is how much it diminishes the tale of the band. Since the film is only loosely based on Cherie’s memoir, it doesn’t make sense to rush through the stories of the other bandmates.

The movie really pushes the time-space continuum by trying to cram the band’s brief but meteoric 4-years of fame (1974-79) into a 2 hours or less format stretches the imagination. Just as The Runaways get together and really start going, it seems as though Lita is chucking magazine covers at Cherie, the band is fighting and Joan is starting her own band.

One thing anyone with working ears is sure to love about The Runaways is the incredible soundtrack, which is what these punk rock chicks were about once you strip away the drugs and the lots and lots of sex that was had in the last days before HIV/AIDS.

Any movie that features hot chicks rocking out hardcore while exploring their sexuality and mind-altering drugs is a movie that I can love, and did love. The Runaways is great because it doesn’t try to be more than it is. The ladies in the movie are flawed and make no apologies for it, but its what we’ve come to expect of music’s greatest stars and The Runaways made it cool for chicks to rock!

Speaking of, I dare you to listen to Fanning’s performance of “Cherry Bomb” and not sing it for the next week and a half!

The Social Network Movie Review…

The story of Facebook is far more engaging than the actual act of being on Facebook. The tale of how Mark Zuckerberg (Eisenberg) went from misunderstood, egotistical genius to billionaire misunderstood egotistical genius was riveting and heartbreaking. Only Aaron Sorkin could make the story of a social networking website this smart and fun.

Told from the points of view of the important characters, The Social Network follows Zuckerberg, his best friend and financier of Facebook Eduardo (Garfield), and 3 wannabe entrepreneurs that include DivyaNarenda (Minghella) and the Winklevoss twins (Hammer in a dual role). The film follows the group of ex-companions and burned business partners through innumerable lawsuits.

Late one Harvard night, computer genius Zuckerberg in a beer-fueled haze manages to create the cultural phenomenon we now know as Facebook. In between endless lines of code, Zuckerberg zips off witty but stinging commentary on everything from his ex-girlfriend’s cup size to the humor in comparing Harvard “chicks” to farm animals.

After nearly crashing Harvard’s network, Zuckerberg gets noticed by the Winklevoss twins and Narenda to “work the code” for a Harvard-based dating website, Harvard Connection. This little website causes tens of millions of dollars in trouble throughout the film.

Although the story is told in a way that makes it impossible to discern where truth begins and ends and where Sorkin’s poetic license takes control, I found The Social Network an engaging story of the nation’s best and brightest dueling to the big bucks.

The immediate reaction to Eisenberg’s portrayal of Zuckerberg is to hate him. He’s egotistical, jealous, and intelligent, he’s brash and unfortunately he’s also very right. It’s difficult to have any sympathy for the Viking super twins, but aside from my lack of knowledge on intellectual property rights, it’s clear that all Zuckerbergis guilty of is taking a good idea and making it a great idea. Sure, it may make him “an asshole” as his ex-girlfriend eloquently reminds him in the opening scene, but it doesn’t make him a thief…at least not in my book.

Unfortunately for Zuckerberg, or fortunately given his current fortune, he does the one thing that makes him just as common as all of mankind. He screws over the one person that’s always been his friend for the sake of someone who appears much cooler. It’s not his fault really though, since we all idolize the slick Hollywood scene-ster played brilliantly by Timberlake.

At the end of the day, what’s interesting about The Social Network is despite this wildly popular although somewhat soul-sucking creation known as Facebook, Zuckerberg’s story and those in it are no different than the rest of us normaltons. Zuckerberg wanted to be cool and to throw his success in the face of the girls that couldn’t stand the arrogance commonly found among the brightest of us. More than that he wanted to join one of Harvard’s prestigious clubs because as he bluntly put it, “they’re exclusive and fun, and they lead to a better life.” Can’t fault a man for wanting that, can you?

The one big question surrounding the creation of Facebook, is ‘what really happened’, but that’s a false argument. Does it really matter who created Facebook aside from the billions upon billions of dollars it rakes in? It doesn’t matter at all to the moviegoer, in fact I’d argue that the truth only matters to the Winklevoss twins and Narenda.

Whether or not you think that Zuckerberg stole his idea for Facebook, two things are clear. First, only the skill and bitter need for acceptance of someone like Zuckerberg could get an undertaking like Facebook off the ground. Second, no one wanted the face (or faces) of Facebook to be two ruggedly handsome but over privileged Nordic gods, I mean really.

The best possible aspect of The Social Network is the biting wit emanating from Eisenberg’s portrayal of Zuckerberg. The dialogue is fast-pace with a vocabulary that would make any educator proud, aside from the common use of profanity. Zuckerberg’s refusal to admit to any wrongdoing is both hilarious and confounding at once. Hilarious because it’s not often high-priced attorneys are put squarely in their place by a hoodiewearing, flip flop adorning kid from Harvard with a bad attitude.

Zuckerberg’s reaction or lack of reaction to his betrayal of Eduardo is confounding to say the least. But just like the creation of Facebook, we now know that Zuckerberg is a ‘big picture’ kind of guy. Who cares if someone else had a cool idea about a Harvard dating website if your idea is to make a social networking site for every college everywhere? And who cares if you screw your best and only friend out of a few hundred million bucks if you get to party with one of the dudes who created Napster and has a million great stories to tell, even if they are only half-truths?

After the story of The Social Network is told you may not be quite as enamored with Facebook as you once were, but you’ll stay on because Zuckerberg is you and me and all of us. He wanted something more from his life than being the geek and out of heartache and loneliness he was able to become the youngest billionaire in history.

Despite his hand in creating the world’s overcooked obsession with documenting every minute detail of every single day, by the end of The Social Network I still found myself rooting for Zuckerberg. Although disappointed by his betrayal of Eduardo, I still understood why he did it, and if I’m being honest, there’s a pretty big chance that I would have done the same thing. Probably you would too, if you’re being honest with yourself.

The Social Network is a must-see. Aaron Sorkin has woven together a riveting tale of privilege, intelligence, and youth. Eisenberg puts in a solid performance as Zuckerberg and I wouldn’t be surprise to hear his name being bandied about during Oscar season. Timberlake has forged his own path, proving yet again that he’s slowing building his acting chops in small but transformative roles.

I put my Facebook feelings aside before the lights dimmed on The Social Network and that allowed me to truly enjoy the unofficial story of its creation. While I’d like a few moments alone with Zuckerberg to unkindly thank him for my nearest and dearest being completely addicted to his brainchild, I’d like to thank him and his inept social skills for making The Social Network is great film.

The Social Network movie trailer

Charlie Wilson (Tom Hanks) is no stranger to this life. He’s been elected as a Texas liberal Democrat congressman and his life is simple and good. His staff is made up by voluptuous women, he’s filling some of his lonely nights with the right-wing Houston millionaire socialite Joanne Herring (Julia Roberts), who is now alarmed of the attacks over Afghanistan by the Russian army. The USA cannot intervene officially, that’s for sure, but there’s gotta be a way to help the Afghans who are slaughtered like cattle by the aviation raids and the bombs planted on the ground.

The movie is based on George Crile’s book, published in 2003 and it looks like this Charlie Wilson is not a fictional character. Which of course will surely give us great confidence in our politicians.

So, back to the action.

Since they cannot send money and weapons without turning the “cold war” into a very nasty “normal” one, the USA have to look for another way. Because Joanne won’t settle with a “no” and Charlie, after a visit to a refugee camp in Afghanistan is so shaken he’s almost lost interest in late night boozing.

They need the help of the CIA and, since falling from his superior’s grace (after breaking the office window and impolitely asking the boss to f.. himself), Gust Avrakotos (Philip Seymour Hoffman) doesn’t really have anything better to do, so he’s willing to support the cause.

The USA would have all the logistics, but they cannot afford to have any weapons marked “USA” in Afghanistan, so they need Soviet weapons. Paying for this is not an issue. From 5 to 10 million it takes just a meeting and people don’t really pay attention to what they are voting on. This is how Charles Wilson, as part of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, can get funding just with a call. Again, yet another showcase of how things are done by the people elected to guard the public interest.

Since the Israelis do have a lot of guns and could send them to Afghanistan through Pakistan, the only predicament is they cannot really be convinced to work together. Not to mention not even the Afghan people can know how they got helped. This is where Gust comes in handy. He knows the right Israeli guy to help them.

Charlie runs his little show from the shadow while also escaping arrest for coke-consuming in Las Vegas. How does he do it? The witness claims she’s seen him consuming in the Cayman Islands, out of the US jurisdiction. So, even if a proved sinner, he cannot be convicted.

This is the kind of politician he is. This is the kind many of them are. Still, when it comes to winning his secret war, Charlie did rise to the occasion. He was able to raise $1 billion to help with the war logistics. Still, the moment all was solved and the Afghan people could have used schools (half their population was under 14), the USA representatives who got involved in raising that billion, couldn’t be convinced to raise 1 million. Or, as Charlie had said:

These things happened. They were glorious and they changed the world… and then we fucked up the endgame.

Even if a biographical political drama, the movie does have his funny scenes and is easy to watch, even by people who couldn’t care less about wars and politics. The cast is quite good and the 3 main actors are performing as expected. Totally recommended.

First we have Julia Child (Meryl Streep) a “high-spirited” American wife, who’s following her diplomat husband in Paris (Stanley Tucci – you know him from The Devil Wears Prada, where they acted together). Bored to death she decides to go to some classes. Bridge seems too complicated for her, while the cooking class for the beginners is really annoying “I know how to boil an egg” she says, asking to be moved to the advanced class. There she’s the only woman among male chefs, who really know their business.

After getting her feathers ruffled a bit, she comes home decided to change the situation. It’s one of the funniest scenes in the movie, she’s cutting onions (there’s a huge pile on the table) and her husband enters the home almost suffocating. Funny or not, she manages to catch up and becomes one of the best students in the class.

She then is invited to cooperate for a cooking book writing, then she’ll be the one to publish it – Mastering the Art of French Cooking.

Meryl Streep is an excellent actress and seems to have found her funny side too, the only issue I had with the performance was that the “high-spirited” Julia seemed on drugs. First I thought she’s suffering from the Tourette Syndrome, the way she was speaking and moving. It looks like she’s not sick, not even on heavy drugs or too much Scotch (this was my second guess). So I do believe they could have toned it down, it’s almost clinical. Other than that, Tucci with Streep make a great team once again (it does seem like they got used to each other from the previous movie).

On the other hand we have Julie Powell (Amy Adams), who’s got a sinisterly boring job as a telephone call-taker in a cubicle, dealing with insurance questions after the tragic 9/11. She does feel she’s “really” a novelist, but was never able to actually finish something she’s started. So the project is to cook all the recipes from Julia’s book in one year time. And document this in a blog. 524 recipes in 365 days, all the cooking done in the evenings, when she’s coming home.

Though Paul (Julie‘s husband) is very supportive, Eric (Julie‘s husband) is getting annoyed after a while with her new passion. She does become utterly obsessed, forgetting than in the end it’s not such a huge deal. They live in a stinky apartment in a sordid house in Queens (NYC), one of those “all made of wood panels shacks” Americans like to call “houses” (in my country our houses are made from bricks and concrete – even the interior walls, so you can understand my opinion). Anyway, there are houses made “properly” in New York City too, but the 2 cannot afford rent in a better one. Interesting enough, she can afford all the groceries for her cooking undertaking.

The entire movie has its funny side, it’s very relaxing and a pleasant experience. Meryl Streep is adorable as usual, even if she seems high on something, while Amy Adams offers a cute version for the young chef-blogger. For such a Streep fan as I am, this is a “gotta see it” movie, but it’s a good one for you too. So, it’s totally recommended.

Julia Roberts outshines the rest of the cast and, even if many commented her clothes are too skimpy for such a movie, still delivers a great performance. Her character was Miss Wichita and the only thing she knows is to flaunt her sexuality, something Roberts can surely manage.

She’s the woman with no legal training, uneducated and blunt, but still she’s got some good instincts and a native intelligence. And stubborn enough to still fight the system, even if deep down she does realize her chances are slim to none.

While doing mostly paperwork for the law firm run by Ed Masry (Albert Finney), Erin senses there’s something wrong with a trivial pro bono case. She unveils a true hidden epidemic. Dozens of residents near Hinkley have developed multiple tumors and all kinds of affections and still no one was able to tie this to Pacific Gas & Electric, with their industrial plant placed near the town. The plant is using an anti-rust agent, a form of chromium, that’s contaminating the water supply.

Even if the case does seem impossible, Erin is so impressed by the tragedy hitting those families, she’s not willing to give up.

I have watched the movie for 2 times already and it’s been a great experience every time, even for a non-fan. It’s far from being the movie of the century, but it’s a good one to have in your list.
