Annapolis (Widescreen Edition) $14.99 It's like `An Officer and a Gentleman' meets `Antwone Fisher' meets `Rocky', but nowhere near as good as the first two (yes, we all know that I think `Rocky' is an overrated mediocre film). Yes, there isn't much new to `Annapolis', and sadly it doesn't really handle anything in a way to create anything remotely memorable. It's a clich ridden rip-off film that has a few selected moments that make it enjoyable, but there is nothing here that would warrant any deep-seated affection. The performances run the gamut from poor (Tyrese Gibson) to decent (James Franco) to pretty darn good (Vicellous Reon Shannon), and then you have the barely there performances, like that from the gorgeous (Demi Moore/Jennifer Connelly love child) Jordana Brewster. The film tells of Jake Huard, a young man who dreams of the Navy. When he finally gets his chance he finds that his stubborn and aggressive nature makes it difficult for him to adapt to life in the academy. With the help of a beautiful woman, a caring Lieutenant and his own determination, Jake is able to...box? Yes, that's right; he boxes. There is a boxing competition open to everyone in the academy, which give Jake the opportunity to exact some pain on Cole, his nemesis and resident jerk. Littered with clichs that come one right after the other, `Annapolis' never finds its own footing. It borrows far too much from far too many other films. It plays out like a poor mans `An Officer and a Gentleman', with no one able to step up to the plate and deliver something noteworthy. Vicellous Reon Shannon was my favorite part of the film, even if his character was the biggest clich the film had to offer (SPOILER: the overweight African American who is mistreated, rises above, gets shot back down and attempts to take his own life). Shannon played the role flawlessly, and I believed in him, connected to him, and absolutely adored him. But aside from that, I'm left empty handed. I will say that the films pacing was brisk and the visuals were a nice touch (especially the fight sequences). It's a `pretty' movie. With Tyrese playing just another variation of Louis Gossett Jr.'s Oscar winning role (which wasn't deserving of an Oscar in the first place) and James Franco trying to be charming while keeping an edge (which he only manages to accomplish SOME of the time), `Annapolis' falls in the middle. It's not bad but it feels very `been there done that'.  James Dean $14.98 I really liked this movie. This movie dug deep into the life of actor James Dean, and James Franco did a wonderful job playing him.  Freaks and Geeks - The Complete Series $69.99 Pilot and first episode are not as strong, but overall this show left me wanting more. You can tell there's a lot of heart put into the making of all this. Characters are fun to watch (especially the geeks). If you grew up during the 80's you should experience a few moments of nostalgia. Really wish there were more seasons!! |
