Review of Basket Case (1982) by Afro B — 24 Apr 2007

[b][i]Basket Case[/i][/b] >> Campy, B-movie that is quite funny and cheesy (in a good way, of course).

[i][b]Xchange [/b][/i]>> Lackluster sci-fi film with an interesting idea that could have been better with better writing and direction.

[b][i]Flags of our Fathers[/i][/b] >> A fine war movie. Not necessarily a new "classic" however. Makes some good points about heroism and propaganda.

[b][i]A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints[/i][/b] >> Possibly could have been better if it wasn't an autobiography. A director with more experience and talent would have made a difference for the positive. The direction almost seemed pretentious but came off as amateurish. The story was not bad but wasn't anything new.

[i][b]The Lookout[/b][/i] >> Glad that it distanced itself from too many similarities to Memento. A good cast, characters, and writing save this from being the usual heist movie.
