Unable to endure another mind-numbing day at Initech Corporation, cubicle slave Peter Gibbons (Ron Livingston) gets fired up and decides to get fired. Armed with a leisurely new attitude and a sexy new girlfriend (Jennifer Aniston), he soon masters the art of neglecting his work, which quickly propels him into the ranks of upper management! Now the stage is set for Peter to carry out a high-tech embezzling scheme that’s sure to mean the end of his job and a one-way ticket to easy street. Can he pull it off before all corporate hell breaks loose? Customer Review: Cult movies are not always great Since its release in 1999, Mike Judge’s dedication to all slaves of their cubicles has become a cult movie with many devoted admirers. I believe the reason being - majority of us have to work and many are not very happy with their jobs or job environment. If asked, everyone may recall to having a boss from hell, to be annoyed by changing every week TES (Time Entering System), by the printer or copy machine that seem to hate you and break on you every time you need to print or copy something. Well, with all recognizable funny and sad details of the modern office environment that show Judge’s observant eye and wicked sense of humor, the movie is not a great one and not always a good one. It is an average comedy that had interesting potentials but is too long for its length and loses its steam somewhere after first thirty minutes. It’s got too many subplots and supporting characters that were neither interesting, nor necessary, for example, the romance between Peter and a local waitress (Jennifer Aniston). A moneymaking scheme that Peter and his friends devise belongs to the different movie and Peter’s transformation in the end does not seem to be plausible. I was happy for Milton though. 6.5/10

Out of Africa (Widescreen Edition)
Sydney Pollack’s 1985 multiple-Oscar winner is a sumptuous and emotionally satisfying film about the life of Danish writer Karen Blixen (Meryl Streep), better known as Isak Dinesen, who travels to Kenya to be with her German husband (Klaus Maria Brandauer) but falls for an English adventurer (Robert Redford). The film is slow in developing the relationship, but it is rich in beautiful images of Africa and in the romantic tone surrounding Blixen’s gradual discovery of her life and voice. One downside: while we may all love Redford, he is as convincingly British as Kevin Costner is in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. –Tom Keogh Customer Review: Very good cinematic experience Enjoyed the storyline and it had a strong cast; just not as enticing as other movies of the same genre that I have scene. Still recommend viewing it as 3 and above are “worth seeing” from my perspective. Very good use of 1.5 - 2 hours.

Don’t Quit Your Day job
Customer Review: It’s all good I think Consequence step his game up for this album. Especially when you consider how his other albums were. I think he is coming into his own right now. He is just not there yet. Still, this album is worth a piece of your time. Peace

The Italian job
Though it bears little resemblance to the original 1969 thriller starring Michael Caine, the 2003 remake of The Italian job stands on its own as a caper comedy that’s well above average. The title’s a misnomer–this time it’s actually a Los Angeles job–but the action’s just as exciting as it propels a breezy tale of honor and dishonor among competing thieves. Inheriting Caine’s role as ace heist-planner Charlie Croker, Mark Wahlberg plays straight-man to a well-cast team of accomplices, including Mos Def, Jason Statham, and scene-stealer Seth Green in a variation of the role originally played by Noel Coward. As the daughter of Croker’s ill-fated mentor (Donald Sutherland), Charlize Theron is recruited to double-cross a double-crosser (Edward Norton in oily villain mode), and once again, speedily versatile Mini Coopers play a pivotal role in director F. Gary Gray’s exhilarating car-chase climax. It’s perhaps the greatest product placement in movie history, and just as fun the second time around. –Jeff Shannon Customer Review: A F.I.N.E. Movie The Italian job was fun to watch. It was a good double-cross/revenge story that kept me thoroughly entertained all the way through. Kudos to Director F. Gary Gray for making such a good feature film when his directorial resume mostly consists of rapper videos. Gray’s other most recent notable feature films were 2005’s flop sequel to the classic Get Shorty (1995) and 2003’s A Man Apart (which I have not seen). Storywise, The Italian job really worked well. It had a good flow that kept you interested. There were way too many of the typical over the top Hollywood action film sequences that are just plain old unbelievable: cars driving down busy sidewalks at high speed; driving through a busy subway; people surviving sure-death situations; absolutely zero police response to what would realistically summon a cavalry of cops…these kinds of surreal action take a bit away from the movie. The cast is pretty good, and the acting is very good. The story is familiar enough as it is popular throughout the history of film: A heist is made by a group of thieves/one of the crooks goes rogue/the group seeks revenge. So if the genre is up your alley, then by all means The Italian job should work for an evening of entertainment. And if you like it, you’re in luck….A sequel has been announced for 2008 called The Brazilian job with (mostly) the same cast and director (the most important aspects in a recipe for a successful sequel). Let’s hope in the sequel that Gray keeps a better handle on reality. I’m sure that it’ll be F.I.N.E.

Inside job
Often taken to task for the maudlin mellowness of his back catalog, Don Henley’s viewpoint on Inside job is frequently as astringent as any of the best of his solo work, if refreshingly more stylistically diverse. Whether skewering the self-absorbed target of “Nobody Else in the World but You” with some welcome funk or lambasting the corporate co-opting of Mother Nature in “Goodbye to a River,” Henley still wears his heart proudly on his sleeve. But the changes in his life have also blunted a previous propensity for self-righteousness into something more akin to subtle, resigned irony, and this album wears it well, especially on strangely downbeat “celebrations” like “For My Wedding.” Featuring a typically all-star cast of guest musician pals (including Stevie Wonder, Randy Newman, Glenn Frey, and Heartbreakers Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench), coproducer Stan Lynch (formerly of Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers) has helped Henley fashion a more timeless, deftly shaded production envelope that should age better than most. Though he still can’t help lament his world’s hardening and loss of innocence (to the point of “They’re Not Here, They’re Not Coming,” echoing Randy Newman’s “Trouble in Paradise” nostalgic plea to “bring back the Duke of Earl”), Henley does it here with a subtle grace that may just win him a few new, late-blooming fans. It’s an album that underscores how quickly life’s fine wine can unexpectedly turn to vinegar. –Jerry McCulley Customer Review: Yuck Now I know why I never picked this up when it first came out…ah, the pitfalls of a completist. NOWHERE near his three 80’s releases. Don should spend his time fighting for the environment instead of music.
