BjLewis - > Hollywoodland -> New on DVD today...Bad Kevin Costner and another stupid pointless sequel
New on DVD today...Bad Kevin Costner and another stupid pointless sequel

So a few new flicks are on DVD today. I'd spotlight the crop if they were anything more than rental fodder.

And Kevin Costner...someone make him stop acting. Seriously. He has not had a good movie since "Field of Dreams." Open Range was good but I give props more to Robert Duvall than anything he did. Is there is a good one since then, let me know.

Now  "Mr Brooks" is not the best, but better than the crop of movies he has been in recently. The only real problem to this movie was Demi Moore. In "Mr. Brooks" Costner is a successful businessman, a generous philanthropist, a loving father, devoted husband. and the notorious Thumbprint Killer. The embattled cop Moore portrays is determined to bring him in.

Costner freaks you out being the loving father figure one minute and the psychotic remorseless killer the next. Moore (when is the last time she did a good movie?) is just kind of here and there in the movie. And she's involved in one of the stupidest gun fights I have ever seen on screen. It's like the director wanted to make an action movie but was never allowed to. Well he got his payback here with his random 30 seconds of John Woo/Matrix delight that completely leaves you scratching your head after you view it.

HBO this one. I mean it's not horrid horrid like "Hostel 2" horrid but there are better movies on the shelves.

Also out:

"Meet the Robinsons"

"For Love of the Game"....is a great film.  It's got that aging pitcher triumphs in last game, romance, humor and dang, Costner's so easy to look at.

What was wrong with "Waterworld?" Ha! I kid. Although it did have one redeeming moment and that was when he whacked the girl in the back of the head.

I don't so much have a problem with him acting as I do with people greenlighting the movies he makes as a producer/director/life-ruiner. Waterworld, The Postman.

The guy showed so much promise when he made his film debut in the Troma movie "Sizzle Beach USA"
