Machete: Movie Review


Usually, you do not get to see a trailer for a movie until after the film has been made and is making it’s marketing rounds. Such is not the case for director Robert Rodiguez’s new film Machete.  Rodriguez created a faux trailer for Machete to be part of 2007’s double feature Grindhouse .  People loved the trailer so much, that the filmmaker gambled on a feature film based on the trailer, and using the same key players from that faux trailer plus adding new ones. 

Machete (Danny Trejo) is an ex-Federale who goes on violent rampage of revenge against the people who hired him to assassinate Senator McLaughlin (Robert De Niro).  The assassination does not go as planned and now the senator’s right hand (Jeff Fahey) and a ruthless drug dealing pimp (Steven Seagal) are trying to hunt down Machete before they become the hunted. 

Machete also has the aid of a beautiful immigration agent (Jessica Alba) and a sexy revolutionist (Michelle Rodriguez).  We also get a shotgun toting Priest (Cheech Marin).  I always found Michelle Rodriguez’s tough girl attitude pretty hot, but this is by far her sexiest role and she plays it perfectly.

Trejo is amazing as Machete.  I love the way he delivers not only his dismembering moves, but also his lines.  My favorite line in the film has to be “Machete don’t text” when he is asked why he did not send them a text.  It is a classic line.  This film is so extreme.  The gore factor is in high supply but it is played for laughs. 

If you are up for a good laugh and a high body count, I highly recommend Machete.

Going The Distance: Movie Review


The track record on romantic-comedies that Hollywood churns out is not very good. For every one that’s watchable, there are another dozen that are complete garbage.   For example, this year we have had duds like The Bounty Hunter, Killers, The Back Up Plan, She’s Out Of My League, The Switch, and I am sure there are a few more.  I did not hate The Switch, but it really was not all that good.  With that being said, I am pleased to tell you that Going the Distance is a refreshingly funny and sweet surprise.

There is nothing about the trailers for Going The Distance to make it seem more than another bland romantic-comedy.  I did not even notice till I got to the theater and looked at the poster that the film was rated R.   Let me tell you that this movie earns an R rating and that’s part of what makes the movie so good.

I do love Drew Barrymore in films like these.  If you look back at some of her films like Fever Pitch, Never Been Kissed, Music & Lyrics, she is just so adorable.  How can you not love her?  She also seems to find herself the perfect co-stars for her projects. Either that or she can connect with anyone she shares the screen with.

The film centers on Erin (Drew Barrymore) and Garett (Justin Long).  One night they meet in a bar within hours of Garett being dumped by his girlfriend.  Erin and Garett hook up and the following morning Erin tells him that she is only going to be in New York for 6 more weeks before she moves to California for school.  They both decide that they won’t start anything serious but will continue to hang out.

Well we all know that the more time they spend together the closer they are going to get and when they decide to go for the long distance relationship we do want to see this couple who obviously love each other find a way to make it work.  I am not giving away anything that is not already in the trailers, but what’s not in those trailers are all the laugh out loud moments in the film.  This movie has some great moments from Erin’s protective sister Corinne (Christina Applegate) and Garrett’s friends Dan & Box steal every scene they are in.  I seriously cannot believe how much I laughed in this film.  This is one of those romantic comedies that guys will tell their friends to go see it.  That is not something you come across too often.

Barrymore and Long are great together on screen and while they were filming this movie, they were actually a real life couple.  Many times when real life couples try to play an on screen couple, it does not seem to translate well on film.  Just ask Ben Affleck & Jennifer Lopez or Sean Penn & Madonna.

Fellas, don’t let the fact that this looks like a chick flick stop you from going to see this.  You will laugh more in Going the Distance than more comedies that have come out this year.

Kevin Nottingham Presents: Mama Said Knock You Out 20th Anniversary Remix Album

On August 27, 1990 LL Cool J teamed up with legendary producer Marley Marl to create one of my favorite hip hop albums of all time, Mama Said Knock You Out. “Don’t call it a comeback!” 20 years later, we here at KevinNottingham.com have gathered producers and emcees from all over the globe to remix a classic.

It all started 8 months ago with a weekly remix contest challenging producers to flip the original samples Marley Marl used to create the production for the album. 15 weeks later, the winning beats were chosen and the quest to find the right emcees to hop on these joints began.

After 8 months of hard work, I believe we have an album that greatly pays tribute to the original. Special thanks goes out to DJ Blacquestarr, DJ Grain, and Thomas (of KN.com) for helping with the contest. Thank you also to all the producers and emcees involved in this project… job well done.  Last but not least, thanks to LL Cool J and Marley Marl for laying the blueprint and providing the inspiration for making this remix album possible.

I hope you all enjoy this remix album…

Takers: Movie Review


I am a sucker for a good heist movie. There is just something about a film where a group of people planning out a huge robbery and then watching them execute the plan perfectly that I find really fun to watch. Most of the time these heist films that revolve around the ultimate score are filled with pretty entertaining characters on both sides of the law.  Unfortunately, Takers is not one of those movies.

Not only is the script in which a team or bank robbers decide to rob an armored car so poorly written, but it also includes a subplot about cops dealing with internal affairs that has absolutely nothing to do with the main story. 

Matt Dillon and Jay Hernandez are fine as the two detectives, but one of the most obvious flaws in the film is that two of the lead robbers are played by two of the most wooden actors working today, Paul Walker & Hayden Christensen.  These guys are just terrible actors.  I can handle Walker in the Fast & Furious films when he is with the Vin man, but when you put two horrible actors together like that it brings down the movie much further than just a lousy script.

Idris Elba and Michael Ealy fare much better as two more members of the team.  It really pains me with what I am about to say considering my personal feelings of the man. Chris Brown is the one who really stands out.  He is funny & charming, plus he gives the film it’s one great scene when he is running from the police.  It is truly a great chase scene.  I really hate having to say something positive about someone who draws such negative feelings from me.  This is one of the reasons I refuse to review any movie coming out that has Mel Gibson in it.  I never want to have to compliment that guy on anything.

Zoe Saldana also has a small part in the film as one of the criminal’s girlfriend, but if you are wondering why the Avatar star is in this film, it is probably because she filmed this way before Avatar ever came out. As for rapper T.I, we have seen him in other films like ATL and he carries that same T.I. swagger with him in this film, which comes off well. He is entertaining to watch, though not much of an actor.

Ultimately Takers is one of those films that has home video written all over it.  Their just is not much here to recommend.

The Last Exorcism: Movie Review


I love it when I go to see a film and it takes me completely by surprise, when the film I am watching gives me something better than what I expected. Such is the case with the new movie The Last Exorcism.  I was given an extremely well written documentary-style film with more intentional humor than most comedies that have come out this year.  If you have seen the trailers for The Last Exorcism, things like humor and great acting are not the first things to enter into your mind. If you go into this film just looking to get a good scare, that’s not really what you are going to get.  This movie caught me off guard in the same way Splice did earlier this year.

The first thing I have to say is that actor Patrick Fabian is terrific and effective as the faith-doubting evangelical minister Cotton Marcus who believes that the practice of exorcisms is a complete scam. People (mainly children) are being harmed and in some cases killed in the middle of the process.  He decides to film a documentary to prove how wrong these exorcisms are.  Fabian gives his character energy, charm and humanity.  In one scene while giving a sermon in church, he preaches a banana bread recipe to prove a point that it does not matter what he says in church, people are listening to his delivery, not his words.

Cotton decides to travel to Georgia and visit the Sweetzer family when he gets a letter from Louis Sweetzer (Louis Herthum) that his daughter is possessed by a demon. Cotton’s film crew is along for the ride and we watch the whole movie from the cameraman’s point of view.  I also must say that aside from a couple of scenes involving running, the whole shaky camera thing is under control. You should not get a headache while watching this movie. 

The children of the Sweetzer family are Caleb (Caleb Landry Jones) Nell (Ashley Bell).  When we first meet Nell, she is a very polite and sweet teenage girl.  Nell and her brother have been home schooled by their father since they lost their mother to cancer. Louis decided to keep his children away from the influences of the outside world.

Cotton does not believe that Nell is really possessed and he even performs a fake exorcism to prove it for his film.  After that, things get even worse. Cotton and his film crew believe that Nell is psychotic not possessed.   Throughout the film, we are questioning what’s really going on.
Ashley Bell is mesmerizing as Nell.  When she is not possessed or crazy, she is sweet but scared & confused. You do not feel like her character is pretending, you believe her.  When she is in her other state, her stare is downright creepy.

There are a few little scary moments in The Last Exorcism but the movie is not about the scares, it’s about the building tension and self questioning.   I am sure a majority of the people who see The Last Exorcism will feel cheated by the ending we are given, but I wasn’t. I feel the film was ended on the right note.   It’s not often that we get such a well crafted and well acted horror film, so I suggest you give it a chance, even if you think the film looks too scary from the trailers, trust me…it’s worth the risk.

Mixtape: DJ Automatic Presents Common – Theater of the Mind (Mixtale)



“The reason I chose Common for this project is that he is not only one of my favorite MC’s of all time,” says Automatic, “but he has an entire career of music behind him that young music lovers don’t necessarily know. They see him in movies and have heard his newer releases but have no idea that Common was one of the rawest MC’s throughout the 90′s. Although I have followed his career from jump, it was still an honor to sit down with him in person and let him take me on his personal journey.”

The Switch: Movie Review


The funniest moment in the new film The Switch arrives within the first 2 minutes, involving a mentally disturbed man standing on the street corner and has absolutely nothing to do with the story whatsoever.  It’s a shame too because even though Jason Bateman has been around since the early 80’s, It hasn’t been till this past decade where he has really made a name for himself and has stopped being referred to as that guy who starred in Teen Wolf Too. 

Bateman plays Wally Mars, a neurotic guy who’s best friend Kassie (Jennifer Aniston) has recently turned 40 and decides this is the point in her life to have a baby. Since Kassie is single, she decides to look for a sperm donor, and she finds one in Roland (Patrick Wilson).  Wally’s bottled up feelings for Kassie causes him to get completely drunk during her “getting pregnant” party. In the midst of his drunken state, he replaces Roland’s sperm with his own.  Because Wally was so intoxicated while making the switch, he does not even remember doing it the next morning.

Cut to 7 years later, Kassie decides to move back home with her now  6 year old son Sebastian (played by the way to cute for words Thomas Robinson).  Once Wally meets Sebastian he slowly starts to realize that there are way too many similarities between the kid and himself to be just a coincidence.

Bateman is fine as Wally but I just wish he was given better material to work with. Aniston on the other hand is exactly the same as she is in most of her films.  I really can’t understand why she is so popular other than the fact that she is very likeable. I just do not find her interesting at all.

I would love to give a special mention to Jeff Goldblum who is just terrific as Wally’s friend Leonard. He steals every scene he is in. Even Juliette Lewis reminded me why I think she should work more, but I know she rather be on tour with her band.   I wish both actors were inserted into more of the film, it might have livened it up a bit.

The Switch is not a bad movie by any means, but I just do not feel it’s worth your $10 at a theater.  This is the type of movie that you might watch at home on cable or a DVD without shutting it off halfway through, but you most likely won’t be thinking too much about it once it’s over
