Welcome to the 376th edition of my series. Next Sunday, my favorite
team the San Francisco 49ers are in the Super Bowl for the first time
since 1994 and the first time in my adult life. It is billed as the
"Harbaugh Bowl" as both brothers are the head coaches. Usually I'm for a
"good game" but in this situation I just want a Niners win so I'll just
hope for the best. Last night was a turning point in Action Packed
Wrestling. From the beginning, I have been their loyal ring announcer
but some promoter decides to get another guy to take my place. I was
not about to accept that so I made my return to APW as a talent agent
and now have Shaun Berkey Talent Agency where I now have clients
consisting of the Sinister Syndrome, the tag team the Soul Shooters, and
Mr. Smiley, all of which have been passed up for no reason so I am
there to write the wrongs and it does not matter if the fans like me or
not. On another note, I created a new website for this blog which is
http://shaunberkey.blogspot.com which has all my work from the last
seven years. I will now get to my recommendations for the week.
Made
For Each Other (1939): This is an earlier film that takes a rather
realistic look towards a marriage. James Stewart stars as young
attorney John Mason who is trying very hard to move up in his firm but
finds it is very hard. He soon meets a woman named Jane, played by
Carole Lombard, and they marry after just one day. From there, they
find that marriage is not as simple as it seemed and must deal with
things like disapproving parents, John's trouble of getting the
promotion to get them more money, and then having a baby. It starts out
as a comedy and becomes more melodrama. Charles Coburn co-stars as
John's hard of hearing boss. The leads work very well together giving a
decent, just not memorable entry into that golden year. I heard this
is the movie that really made Stewart into the actor he would become.
There's
Good Boos To-night (1948): This is my animated short for the week
which features Casper the Friendly Ghost. Casper is part of a ghost
family and most of them just want to go around scaring everyone but
Casper just wants friends. Like most of the shorts, he goes around
trying to make friends but they get very scared. Soon, he meets a
little fox cub who likes Casper and becomes friends with Casper. I
suppose in some ways, the Casper cartoons are a statement towards
prejudice and fearing the unknown. These are always pretty harmless
cartoons though and deserve a view. This is available on my Pub-D-Hub
app on my Roku.
Jesus of Nazareth (1977): This is part
two of my Christopher Plummer series who plays King Herod in this one.
This is my TV mini-series for the week which was directed by Franco
Zeffirelli. This is a very in-depth look into the life of our savior
Jesus Christ. This series covers everything from Mary's pregnancy all
the way up to his resurrection. Robert Powell stars as our savior and
does a good job portraying him. I had not heard of Powell until this
time but really liked him in this part. The rest of the cast is quite
known like Anne Bancroft, Olivia Hussey, Ernest Borgnine, Ian McShane,
James Mason, Laurence Olivier, Anthony Quinn, Ian Holm, and many others
co-star in this two-part series. I really felt this was a very good
telling of Christ with good acting and cinematography. Of course it's
predictable but to be expected since I think just about everyone knows
how he died, just about know who betrays him, and most probably know who
will deny knowing him three times. If you are an absolute atheist,
this probably is not worth six hours of your time but for many, I think
it is worth it. It has two three-hour parts. Zeffirelli brought a lot
of justice to the religious story.
Hoodlum (1997):
This is the last part of my three-part Cicely Tyson series where she
plays the Madame Queen who runs the illegal numbers game. This movie
takes place in prohibition-era Harlem in a violent rivalry for control
for illegal gaming between black gangster "Bumpy" Johnson, played by
Laurence Fishburne, and ruthless gangster Dutch Schultz. In the middle
is crime boss Lucky Luciano, played by Andy Garcia, who just cannot come
to an agreement. This movie seemed to have come to mixed opinions and
one of which is maybe the way these people were portrayed. Now a lot of
times, they do portray these mobsters as rather friendly people which I
believe is pretty accurate and then they show what they are really like
when they commit some kind of murder. As far as the basic story, it
seemed pretty accurate from what I read. Johnson is one of the few
known African-American gangsters and was a pretty smart person and was
able to compete with the rest of the mafia world. Vanessa L. Williams,
Chi McBride, Clarence Williams III, William Atherton, Queen Latifah,
Loretta Devine, and many others co-star. This is not the greatest
gangster film but it is still pretty entertaining and has good
performances. Tim Roth probably gives the best performance of Dutch
Schultz in my opinion and Fishburne was good as Johnson. This is
available on Instant Netflix.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
(2011): This movie is based on the novel by John Le Carre and takes
place during the Cold War era. Gary Oldman stars as MI6 agent George
Smiley who is brought into investigate an insider who is a Russian
agent. In his investigation, he finds things he does not want to and
must make some very touch decisions. While Oldman plays an MI6 agent
which is what famous spy James Bond is, this is a more realistic take to
the job where there are not a bunch of shootouts and car chases. It is
a movie which you'll need to give a lot of attention but is worth the
journey. Colin Firth, Mark Strong, Tom Hardy, John Hurt, Toby Jones,
and many others co-star. This is the fifth time the character of George
Smiley has been portrayed but this is the first I have seen so far.
This is a very good spy film if you can accept the slow pacing.
The
Delta Force (1986): This is my hijacked airplane movie for the week. A
plane is terrorized by Lebanese terrorists and it's up to a commando
unit led by Chuck Norris and Lee Marvin. I do not feature Norris very
often but I find this is probably his best and is a pretty entertaining
action movie with decent characters. Martin Balson, Rat Packer Joey
Bishop, George Kennedy, NYPD BLUE alum Kim Delaney, Susan Strasberg,
Robert Vaughn, Robert Forster, and many others co-star. This is Lee
Marvin's last movie. Liam Neeson and Kevin Dillon appear uncredited as a
couple Delta Force guys. This is based on a real-life hijacking of TWA
Flight 847 which happened in 1985 and from what I read match some of
the events. There is not more to say on this one. I think you all have
a basic idea of what happens and is really hit or miss. It is a pretty
fun action film if you like this kind of thing. It is a good one for
the guys.
Mighty Joe Young (1949): With the success of
the King Kong franchise, Merian C. Cooper and John Ford produced this
gorilla film. Terry Moore stars as Jill Young who lives in Africa and
as a child she buys a baby gorilla who she named Joe. As a grown up,
Joe has become very big but always obeys Jill. Robert Armstrong
co-stars as a crooked Hollywood producer who convinces the very naive
Jill for them both to come to America and make lots of money. She soon
wises up and realizes this is nothing more than exploitation and Joe
also hates it. Soon, some drunks give Joe some alcohol and he then gets
away taking out his anger. This one might be more family friendly than
the 1933 KING KONG. I know it was remade many years later by Disney
but I have not seen that version. Ray Harryhausen contributed a lot of
stop-motion animation graphics which was one of the first to use that
animation and is pretty good for the time. There are some very good
scenes like Joe playing tug of war with some professional wrestlers and a
climax at a burning building.
Alice Doesn't Live Here
Anymore (1974): Martin Scorsese directs this slice of life film which
stars Ellen Burstyn as the title character. She soon becomes widowed
and sets out with her son to go from New Mexico to Arizona so she can
pursue a singing career and then aspires to move to Monterrey,
California. She finds that her quest for work is not easy and ends up
taking a waitress job while having to leave her precocious son Tommy,
played by Afred Lutter, to fend for himself. Burstyn is great in her
role of someone pursuing the American dream but finding it is not that
easy. Kris Kristofferson co-stars as her love interest but see he has a
bit of a temper and can be difficult. Lutter is also very good as the
smartalec son Tommy. Harvey Keitel, Jodie Foster, Diane Ladd, and
others co-star. This was turned into a long running sitcom called ALICE
shortly after this film where much of the actors reprise their roles..
Lincoln
(2012): So I have a movie on Jesus Christ, now I have one on another
historic icon. I make my rare movie theater appearance to see this
biopic on the 16th president. Steven Spielberg directed this movie
which focuses on Lincoln's life from near the end of the Civil war where
he is trying to stop the war and end slavery. Daniel Day-Lewis plays
Lincoln to absolute perfection where he was not Daniel Day-Lewis and
escaped into the character. Sally Field co-stars as Lincoln's wife Mary
who is good but we don't really get to know much about Mary Lincoln or
their marriage but that is not what this movie is about. In this movie,
Lincoln is trying to talk everyone into voting for a slavery
amendment. It's really hard telling what is accurate and what is not.
For me, either way this is a very believable portrayal. I do believe
they portray him as human in this movie and show some human flaws in
Lincoln. Tommy Lee Jones, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, David Strathairn, James
Spader, Hal Holbrook, and many others co-star. I decided to follow up
with a documentary from the History channel called LINCOLN: THE UNTOLD
STORIES. This documentary goes more into his early days and does not
really focus as much on the presidency like the movie did. Lincoln's
friend and law partner William Herndon decided to write a biography on
Lincoln telling a more realistic story on him instead of this perfect
person many people think of him to be. It took Herndon 25 years to
write the book and was very controversial when it first came out and is
more significant today than it was then. Herndon drew upon certain
documents and interviews from Lincoln's friends and family. This
documentary shows things like a bad relationship with his father,
depression, failed relationships with women,suicidal thought, and a much
less than perfect marriage with Mary Todd. These two really complement
each other very well. The documentary is available through Instant
Netflix and the movie is available in theaters still. Spielberg did a
great job of this film.
Marina Abramovic: The Artist
is Present (2012): I end this week with this documentary that was
presented by Travis in his Co-Op film series. Abramovic is a
performance artist and has been for about 30 years. She uses art to
really push the envelope on the definition of art. In this documentary,
she is preparing for a show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
It is very hard to explain in this blog what she does but she conveys
herself through art to an audience. Before he showed this film, I had
not heard of Abramovic and the documentary seems to have a bigger target
on those who already know her as Travis pointed out in our discussion
after the movie was over. Even if we have not heard of her, it is clear
that she has quite an audience wherever she goes. Her form of art is
not for everyone as it does convey strange imagery and nudity but if you
can get past that, this could be enjoyable. This was an HBO
documentary and appears to now be available on DVD.
Well,
that is it for this week. Tell me what you like and what you dislike
and stay tuned for next week which so far includes Christopher Walken,
more Christopher Plummer, Errol Flynn, Anne Hathaway, Robert Duvall and
many others. If you want to learn some useless information that could
come up on Jeopardy, read on.
