Yerp Crank was pretty damn average i reckon. The plot line was so strung together im going to have to give it the 2 chewbacca rating.
World Trade Centre:
Oliver Stone obviously had big shoes to fill with this one but it didn't really do it for me as a story. You don't get to see anything falls down and the majority of the movie is dedicated to a couple of guys getting buried and their wives/families running round in circles flailing their hand and say "oh my god oh my god" while lots of firemen and police hold hand with people of different colours under an American flag and sing Koombaya.
In a ninja rating 5 being highest i give it 2 ninjas.
A Scanner Darkly:
Quite an ambitions project for warner independent and they did manage to get a few good names to carry it through. Robert Downey Jnr is damn good though Keanu plays his standard role. The way it is shot is most interesting and i would suggest the best way to watch this film is under the influence of some type of psychedelic. Though i haven't read the book, good work by Mr Dick for setting this just 7 years in the future as it makes more sense that way than i think blade runner and total recall did as thrillers instead of sci fis.
3.5 ninjas and 1 chewbacca as it was a little unclear with it motives.
Talledga Nights: the Ricky bobby story
If you have seen old school and other will ferrel movies apart from elf you will get what you expect from this. I am not big ferrel fan but i did find myself cracking up in parts, gotta love low brow comedy.
