    Cop (1987):

    5.5/10

    Based on "Blood On The Moon" by James Ellroy (the author's third book). The film is a pretty average cop thriller with a couple of crucial changes from the book that really sap any juice out of the killer's motive, and the body count's much lower than the book. Otherwise it feels a bit too 'straight from the book' which, when adapting into another medium, doesn't really work so you end up with lots of cut corners. Stuff that makes sense and works in the book doesn't make enough sense in the film. It's an okay flick, but the final confrontation feels totally disconnected from the tone of the material, although it does include a decent kiss-off line of dialogue before the credits roll.

    Y tambien la lluvia 10/10

    Watched the scorpion king 3 last night with my nephew and that is one magnificently entertaining piece of crap. Falls solidly into the "so bad it's fun" category.

    The Butler:

    7/10

    "Inspired by the True Story" ... however, with quite a lot of narrative convenience occuring, you do lean towards questioning the validity of the events during the entire film as a result. It feels a bit too 'designed' ... perhaps events did unfold like that, but I suspect there's a lot of nips and tucks to the man's story going on here, it feels too neat and tidy.

    In some ways it's kind of like Forrest Gump - a single man watches American history unfold before him, the key difference being that Gump was always actively involved in those events (e.g. Vietnam), but the Butler is always just watching them unfold. It has to be that way, him not being actively involved, but then it does also go against one of the main screenwriting tenets that is your protagonist should be actively involved in their story, not passive.

    That said, it's still a good watch - not as heavy handed as I thought it might have been, although it can at times be quite bleak or disquieting (e.g. certain moments of racial abuse during the civil rights movement). Whittaker does tend to mumble a bit during the movie, and combined with the accent he puts on, I was missing out on perhaps a third of his dialogue but I got the main thrust of whatever he was saying. Still though - the sound mix needed work to lift the dialogue a little higher at certain points. Overall a good movie that kept me engaged, even if the procession of famous actors wearing fake noses and hair pieces to play successive presidents became a little bit ... I don't know ... as if from a movie with a different tone, if that makes sense.
