Timberlake Shines!Review created: 08/03/07

Justin Timberlake breaks out of the Boy Band and into the Movies!! Alpha Dog is Based on a True Tragic Story of how Things can spiral out of Control quickly when Dealing Drugs are involved. The Opening scene begins with a Gathering in a Lavish Suite of the Young Drug Lord. This scene sets the Tone and Hierarchy of the Close Circle of Friends, some of whom are obviously just the brainless leg-men. The Plot Thickens when a Large Deal with a Drug User/Distributor outside of the circle of friends turns south when the debt cannot be repaid. The Kingpin devises a diabolical plot to strike revenge against the Deadbeat User by Kidnapping his Innocent Adolescent Brother. One thing leads to another and Justin Ends up being the "Babysitter" and befriending the Kidnapped boy even letting him party and hang out with him at parties unrestrained. My Heart went out to the Naive Boy who actually had chances/offers to escape but decides instead to hang out with his Newfound "Friend". Knowing the Conclusion of the Movie was inevitable it was Sad watching a Young Boy Live, Love and Learn his Last Day! The ending was very Moving watching the Tearful Exchange between the Victim and Justin.
The Performances of Justin and the Kid were Sensational. They put you actually in the moment of the Tragic Events. Justin is full of Tatoos and Often shirtless which only adds to this Truth Based Tragic Story!! I recommend this movie to be watched with the whole family as a Very Valuable Lesson about Drugs and Misplaced Loyalties can be learned by all! Thank You for Reading!! Happy Ebaying!

A TRUE FBI STORYReview created: 04/12/07

I just saw this @ Sundance. The people leaving the first screening gave this bad buzz so I was sceptic as to what I was in for. but Since I got a ticket @ face value I went on in. Much to my surprise this turned out to be a good flick. I'm tired of the happy hollywood endings and prefer something more real. Well, this was based on a true story! Bruce willis was his typical self. Sharon stone was great, especially at the ending! The only reason I can think why the first screening gave it bad reviews was, the people were parents, & were relating to the errors that the parents in the movie made. If you want a happy ending, rent something else. If you want to see what really happens when people make bad decisions in life then you should like this.

Toxic Parents / Toxic Kids, mix with drugs and gunsReview created: 09/01/08
by:
) The film that answers the question as to where all the young narcissists (jerks) come from!
The plot was intense, the acting and directing significantly above par, the sociological and philosophical statement very powerful.
A drug culture, unavailabe parents, a souless, hedonistic philosophy, guns and kids with no goals or discipline. The movie scared me since I had neighbors like these families in a million dollar neighborhood on the other coast.
The saddest statement came when an investigator I worked with gave a copy of this to a female attorney who should have learned from it. She had a son with above average intelligence who never really got into school and therefore had poor results. She and her husband were busy in their own world and she thought her sleezy clients were exciting, grass was great, the Sopranos were to be admired, and the world had a good number of wimps that you didn't have to respect in any way. He son was found nearly beated to death in a drug deal gone bad. He was almost 20, hadn't worked in months, was found behind a very bad bar in very bad shape and had nearly $1,000 in cash in his pocket. Not enough to pay the medical bills but he did live. Of course this was a small town in the midwest. Anyway, the PI sent the lawyer a copy of this film. She couldn't see that it had anything to do with her.
Fade to black.

*~*~ A So-So Movie. Less Than Expected ~*~* 5.5/10Review created: 03/24/08(updated 03/24/08)
ALPHA DOG seemed very interesting and caught our attention from day one from the preview trailers, so we ran out and bought it. After watching it, it didnt quite keep our "full" attention, and was less interesting than expected. Not a lot of action, somewhat "dry" at points, and the mid to end was very disappointing, as we expected a different ending.
The movie was "Inspired By True Events".
Most likely a movie we will not watch again, but maybe. :)
Our Overall Rating: 5.5/10
