DCRJ's Movie Reviews : J. EDGAR (2011)

I saw J. EDGAR (2011) via glorious DVD from the muslim pirates of Quiapo. Leonardo DiCaprio plays Johnny Edgar Hoover, the gay FBI director and his man-love relationship with Clyde Tolson played convincingly by Armie Hammer (the upcoming Lone Ranger star). Insightful look at the beginning and nurturing of the FBI. The film has the Clint Eastwood (director) touch which can be felt in all of his films such as the usual slow and sentimental piano play in the beginning and end credits but the film suffered from a lack of cohesive feel, at least in my opinion. The aging make-up on the actors was overly done specially on DiCaprio and Hammer. Overall, the film is informative and insightfully entertaining. My ratings: 4 out of 5 Biscuits. The film also chronicled the Charles Lindberg baby kidnapping case which brought memories to my mind the 1976 made-for-TV film with Cliff deYoung, a dead ringer for Charles Lindberg better than Josh Lucas' portrayal as Lindberg in J. Edgar. I also remembered Anthony Hopkins as the kidnapper Bruno Hauptmann.

DCRJ's MOVIE REVIEWS: HUGO (2011)

We saw HUGO (2011) in 3D at SM Mall of Asia Feb. 18, 2012. I love Martin Scorsese movies. His films are instant classics like Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, The Departed etc. Hugo is Martin Scorsese's first 3D film and this film clearly shows his love for movies. Set in 1930s Paris, Hugo (played by Asa Butterfiled - dead ringer for Elijah Wood !) needs to find a heart-shaped key that will start an automaton that he hopes will unravel a connection between him and his deceased father. Hugo then meets an eccentric old man (Ben Kingsley) in which he discovers that he is the original owner of the automaton that has something to do with the birth of cinema. The 3D visuals are a wonder to behold. Recognizable actors from Borat (Sacha Baron Cohen), Harry Potter, Beowulf (Ray Winstone) and LOTR (Christopher Lee) are there. Buster Keaton and Doc Emmett Brown (BTTF) are related to the clock dangling scene in Hugo ! This is movie magic at its best. My ratings : 5 out of 5 Biscuits !
