Although there is a fair share of down-home simplicity... <br /> <br /> A tale about a rural farmer, longing for a purpose in life and who ends up in the far reaches of space, might seem a tad familiar... And just as we get to know Cooper and his children – living on an Earth devastated by ferocious dust storms – he alone winds up soaring to the mysterious heavens.<br /> <br /> For a three-hour film, it’s a surprise that any aspect could be “too rushed.” Yet the amount of time our potential hero goes from the ground to the sky is as quick as a few instructive paragraphs spouted by the chief NASA scientist (Michael Caine). <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: right;"> </div> While super-intelligence is essential in any genuine sci-fi flick, and wormholes and black holes are always an intriguing premise, there's so much explaining and anticipating what needs to be done that surprisingly, very little actually happens: These intrepid voyagers, including Anne Hathaway’s straight-laced Amelia and a sarcastic robot, experience some extremely close calls and a tremendous amount of docking and spinning, but no real adventure. And whether in space or back on a future Earth… two stories fusing into a M. Night Shyamalan style twist… there’s no one to completely root for except McConaughey, who can make any character likable.<br /> <br /> Christopher Nolan's power can't be denied: His DARK KNIGHT TRILOGY created an immense fan base nearly equaling the nostalgic likes of Spielberg, Lucas, Kubrick or any iconic director you choose… But his ambitiously epic INTERSTELLAR both overreaches and overwhelms… Not just the audience and characters, but the genre itself: With so many complicated instructions we hardly see the damn thing work!

Here we learn, in a somewhat forced manner, what kind of person he is… or was. But THE DALLAS BUYERS CLUB truly succeeds at taking a trip to the mid-eighties, when AIDS was <i>only</i> linked to homosexuality. Woodruff, basically given a thirty-day death sentence, goes from a bitter addict in denial to a maverick businessman forced to cope with the disease, selling a “cocktail” of vitamins and other drugs, acquired in Mexico, which were healthier and more successful than the government sponsored AZT.<br /> <br /> On the forefront is Woodruff’s gritty, determined persona, initially street-dealing and eventually getting patients legitimately signed up for a program (the “Buyers Club”) to receive more helpful medication. Too bad the film never fully discusses what transactions were legal or illegal at the time,  painting the DEA as a one-note villain as Woodruff becomes somewhat over-glorified, without having too many obstacles, blunting both his roguish intensity and the needed suspense of a story centered on taking big risks, worldwide. Meanwhile the friendship between Ron and his sympathetic doctor, played by Jennifer Garner, provides an essential bittersweet friendship (a non-romantic romance) remaining bland and peripheral.<br /> <br /> Oscar buzz is already being thrown in McConaughey’s direction, but the dark horse candidate is Jared Leto’s cross-dressing Rayon, becoming Woodruff’s business partner, confidant and, ultimately, his gateway to understanding the lifestyle he once abhorred. In a sense, Rayon is liken to Tom Hanks’ character in PHILADELPHIA while Woodruff, surly and narrow-minded like Denzel Washington’s lawyer, eventually grows enlightened. Though the film loses steam in the final act, becoming more of a political statement than a wheeling-dealing biopic, DALLAS BUYERS CLUB remains entertaining and enlightening the whole way through.

And he’s able to spend even more after her death, which isn’t such a natural cause.<br /> <br /> After Bernie gets caught, this pseudo documentary/dark comedy… with townspeople providing insight in almost every other scene (Sonny Davis' summary of Texas is a hoot)... enters the courtroom where Matthew McConaughey, playing it up as the local D.A., does his best to put poor Bernie behind bars.<br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy4jS51rJz2ak3RAnqG2OAodwRz7-Caf8pQu7ap80aAdYNAops06XiPeCh3_D-Aw9Mwze-dNujb1Rm42svXy1rxTB9xnUZU8pcbR16fQL6NFC_hOHTQgx7uMTEqNEonDL940eU2WpZq5gL/s1600/bernie1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy4jS51rJz2ak3RAnqG2OAodwRz7-Caf8pQu7ap80aAdYNAops06XiPeCh3_D-Aw9Mwze-dNujb1Rm42svXy1rxTB9xnUZU8pcbR16fQL6NFC_hOHTQgx7uMTEqNEonDL940eU2WpZq5gL/s640/bernie1.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Matthew McConaughey promises to uphold justice in BERNIE</td></tr> </tbody></table> McConaughey, while a talented actor, takes a little getting used to during interview sequences... When he's first introduced with forced "homophobic" rants and macho bias, he deviates from the documentary style and seems like he's doing his best to parody small town mentality. But as the trial begins he gets more realistic and intense, and as a District Attorney heading an open/shut case, extremely logical.<br /> <br /> It's never quite clear whether this quirky biopic sides with Bernie Tiede or not... On the one hand his victim is shown as an annoying witch the entire town wants dead, yet Bernie often comes off as a cartoonish Christian dolt oblivious to reality.<br /> <br /> Either way you'll enjoy Jack Black’s performance, showing more range than ever as a character that, although right up front and open as a book, is still quite mysterious. <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjkvzaIEwZr_fzxuHYaltId02MZyB_21Cr366xiSw9eBMgSUSAVw2bVzoIxQIfsZJT-bY1AYjfYMiNqtHQgyUgpDyhSg401vHZxpsyvVUkixzT8LhnW2dRc_M_5hA5Hjn1Q0ot7uYXqoaY/s1600/bernie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="345" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjkvzaIEwZr_fzxuHYaltId02MZyB_21Cr366xiSw9eBMgSUSAVw2bVzoIxQIfsZJT-bY1AYjfYMiNqtHQgyUgpDyhSg401vHZxpsyvVUkixzT8LhnW2dRc_M_5hA5Hjn1Q0ot7uYXqoaY/s640/bernie.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sonny Davis steals the interview sequences scenes in BERNIE</td></tr> </tbody></table> <iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/cm?t=jamtaci-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B00007AJFB&ref=tf_til&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;"></iframe> <iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/cm?t=jamtaci-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B000I9X6HC&ref=tf_til&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;"></iframe> <iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/cm?t=jamtaci-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B008PF8Q8U&ref=tf_til&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;"></iframe>

The movie begins, resembling a monotone pseudo documentary as we're introduced to the man of the hour: Channing Tatum’s Mike works roofing buildings and meets a younger protégé... yet he's got a secret job, and everyone but Alex Pettyfer’s naïve and quiet Adam knows what it is…<br /> <br /> Now we cut to the chase... Mike's a male stripper in an ensemble led by the energetically egotistical Matthew McConaughey as Dallas, whose over the top performance tries hard in a cast seeming part of an awkward student film. And that’s the problem.<br /> <br /> While MAGIC MIKE’s trailer promises a night in heaven for target audiences, director Steven Soderbergh is the wrong man for the job. Each scene builds with the pace of a slug, and the characters, especially newcomer Adam… going from non-dancer to professional to out of control drug addict… have little progression into a lifestyle shown in dull, uninteresting bouts of dialogue. Especially the implied love story between Mike and Adam’s sister Joanna (Olivia Munn). With a wry, bland persona, Joanna waits for Mike and Adam to come to their senses and straighten up with a worthy, less provocative gig. Problem is, that’s not what those horny secretaries in the theater paid for (she's the audience cockbocker!).<br /> <br /> The dance numbers occur fast and furious; too bizarre and over-produced to seem legitimate. And as Tatum, who based the script on his real experiences, is already planning a sequel, here’s some advice: since women need the kind of guilty pleasures men are granted in movies and TV, try making the follow-up more shallow and glossy like SHOWGIRLS and COYOTE UGLY. Those movies are bad, sure, but they deliver.
