UNITED 93 REVIEW

United 93 – I walked out of this film really unsure about my feelings about it. Not because its not good (heck I think it’s the best movie I’ve seen this year). Its taken me a few days to actually be able to put my thoughts on paper. I’m not really sure what I was expecting going in to this film. I couldn’t see how a film about the 9/11 hijackings could be made without picking sides or having some sort of agenda. I couldn’t imagine making a movie this soon afterwards without being exploitive. I wasn’t sure how the film was going to be sold, there are no movie stars, no big action sequences, its not terribly nostalgic (unless people like thinking about that day). The film pulls it all off and it succeeds in every way a film can. I’m not going to make this a political review I’m just going to review this work as a film only. The film is split between the ground crew and the passengers of United flight 93. This is genius, by spreading the attention out the tension mounts and you find yourself drawn in and emotionally connected with everyone involved. The passengers, the ground crew, the military, even the hijackers command your attention and your thoughts. You won’t know the names of any of the individuals in this film but their actions will be left with you for a long time. United 93 never offers an explanation as to why the individuals are doing what they are doing and besides a few individual prayers there aren’t any religious overtones. I was surprised at the level of violence and chaos that made up the third act but afterwards I reflected on how naïve I can be. This movie took me on a bit of an emotional rollercoaster by throwing me backwards in time to the morning of September 11 and washing me over with my own thoughts and memories of that day and all that have transpired afterwards. I’m not sure what I was expecting going into this film but what I was left with will stay with me for a long time. A+

Hulk – HULK NO SEE MOVIE. HULK HAVE CRAZY ADVENTURE INSTEAD. HULK WENT TO HULK’S FAVORITE THEATER WITH HULK NEIGHBOR FRIEND NAMED JACK. HULK BOUGHT JELLY BEANS, HULK SIZED POPCORN, HULK SIZED DRINK, AND 12 BOXES OF JUNIOR MINTS. HULK ATE ALL BEFORE THE START OF MOVIE. HULK TUMMY START TO RUMBLE AND HURT. HULK RUN TO BATHROOM WHEN HULK FIGURED OUT WHAT WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. HULK WAS IN THE BATHROOM FOR A LONG, LONG TIME. HULK REALLY, REALLY HAD TO DO NUMBER 2. HULK FINALLY FINISH AND HULK EVEN REMEMBERED TO WASH HULK’S HANDS. HULK MUST HAVE BEEN IN THE BATHROOM TOO LONG BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE COMING OUT OF THE THEATER. SOME OF THEM WERE UPSET WITH “HI, JACK-ERS”. HULK CONFUSED. HULK DIDN’T WANT PEOPLE TO BE MAD AT HULK SO HULK GO HOME AND LEAVE HULK NEIGHBOR FRIEND JACK AT THEATER. HULK DIDN’T WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT HULK HAD A FRIEND NAMED JACK AND THAT HULK SAID “HI” TO HIM EVERY DAY.

Bobo – Bobo no see this moobie. Bobo have no interested in seeing people in a plane. There’s only two moobies with folks in a plane that Bobo wants to see right now. One is Snakes on a Plane starring the often forgetful but still the baddest, blackest Mofo in all the universe Samul L. F**kin’ Jackson and the other is Debbie Does A Whole Bunch of Folks On A Plane IV (this is the one where Debbie does some dudes but a whole bunch of chicks). Now that’s a moobie worth Bobo's time.
