Cranky Critic (r) Movie Reviews

The American stars George Clooney. One screening and no onliners and other non-TV critics invited. The buzz is terrible but we can only affirm that the film to the right...	Machete starring Danny Trejo is a blast. Let the blood and body parts fly! Believe it or not, it's more a comedy than anything but, more important . . . Lindsay Lohan stars as a nun with a gun. What guy needs any more? <vbg> Cranky's movie review	Going the Distance stars Drew Barrymore and Justin Long. Everyone involved in this thing should be ashamed of themselves. Cranky's movie review	Who is Harry Nilsson? and why is everyone talking about him? is the indie of the week. The answer, for those of us of the right generation, is all in the music. If you don't know the music, you'll be happy at the ease with which this bio unfolds. Cranky's movie review
Centurion stars Michael Fassbender in a tale of Britain as the British part of the Roman Empire fails. It's a story probably hinted at in Brit history classes but not a great sit for American audiences. Cranky's movie review	The Last Exorcism is a very cool take on the Exorcist model in which a grown up child evangelist- exorcist tells all to a documentary team as he hangs up his shingle and does his last exorcism. Ha ha on him -- this one turns out to be the real thing. Cranky is hurt too bad to get the review finished. *This film is a terrific sit , , , not what you expect (if you're expecting an Exorcist* vomit clone but a great sit none the less. See it.**	Nanny McPhee Returns brings Emma Thompson back to the title role. Aside from the first minute, in which farm animals poop freely (though single digit kiddies love that stuff) and a story which may require that parents explain what WWII was, the film is a terrific time. Download wallpapers for the kids. A review isn't necessary -- the film is that much fun. Realistically, though . . .	Mao's Last Dancer (ltd) is now the third film to make our Top Ten of the Year list. Cranky is a middle aged guy who could care less about a half-subtitled film about a Chinese boy forced to learn ballet and modern dance by the Mao regime but we were blown away by this film. Seriously, despite the subtitles and the topic, this is a great film. Just find it and see it.
