The Cutting Edge: The Magic of Movie Editing
I've been interested in giving this documentary a watch for a while now. It definitely allows the audience to apprecaite the work of an editor, even though the documentary crams so much information in so little time. It's been tackled in a clever approach with many filmmakers and editors giving us insight to the very underrrated job of an editor. However, there's so much information, it ends up being overly repetitive and dull during the second half. It's worth a watch and only works as a television documentary.
Dance Flick (World Premiere)
Wayans Brothers! Everybody is back for one film, so is it everything we hoped it would be? Dance Flick is exactly as you'd expect; a dance flick, spoofing other dance flicks. It's nowhere near Scary Movie; however, I don't quite think it's as bad as Little Man - a film, I think, we all ignored when it was released.
Like all spoof films, the plot is very simple and straightforward. Thomas (Damon Wayans, Jr.) teams up with Megan (Shoshana Bush) to enter the biggest dance battle in town. However, unlike Scary Movie, the dialogue often falls flat as we begin to realize there's really nothing funny happening. Often times, the film begins to take cheap shots, attempting to create sarcastic, awkward humor. Unfortunately, the Wayans Brothers know better. They're much more funnier than this and we've seen them do better.
If you're hoping to see Shawn and Marlon Wayans on the big screen, you're going to be left disappointed. Marlon Wayans is hilarious in the few minutes he's on screen, while there's almost nothing funny about Shawn Wayans. I don't quite believe his character was supposed to be funny. David Alan Grier isn't anything special either; he's in a fat suit and gives us a few lines of humor. Luckily, we're introduced to Damon Wayans, Jr. and Shoshana Bush, who both look like they could actually be good actors. Again, unfortunately, this isn't the film for either of them to utilize any of their skills.
What did you expect? I don't think anybody is going to go in taking this film seriously. If you can forget about Scary Movie and how cleverly they spoofed horror films, you'll do just fine.
Aside from the film, I had the opportunity to see many of these stars. Among those who attended the premiere of the film were: Damien Wayans (who I have previously met about and spoken to a year ago), Shawn Wayans, Marlon Wayans, Damon Wayans, Keenon Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans, Essence Atkins, Affion Crockett, David Alan Grier, Shoshana Bush, Lochlyn Munro (the small penis guy from Scary Movie), Michael Jai White (Gambol from The Dark Knight), Wilmer Valderrama and Ice Cube.

Transporter 3
4.5/5
Great movie. Storyline was great as always but wasn't as good as the second Transporter. Still awesome though.
