Miss March (2009) Review

I really cannot find good reason to describe the plot in any detail, but sufficed to say two guys make a venture for the Playboy mansion in hopes of reacquainting with a lost love centerfold. In the interim we get treated to plenty of diarrhea, old sight gags, boring writing, unfunny jokes, and lengthy diatribe that would have been funny ten years ago. I can laugh at good fire service jokes, but the whole psychotic, sexless firemen gag running throughout the film was lame - and it would be nice if one film would actually show how the pumpers really work (sans the Con Air, Evolution, Miss March incorrectness)
The Blu pic is actually decent through most of the film, though delving into the B grade quality stock through several indoor sequences. Nothing to test the visuals as the cross country footage entails all of 30 seconds so that leaves the sound and supplements. The sound is uneventful and the supplements cater to the Whitest Kids U Know crowd.
The Viral Videos offering is a staged audition sequence that does not entertain much, but as stated the fans that have been renting the TV series are asking about this. The Down & Dirty uncensored (or edited option) allowed Craig Robinson (Pineapple Express, Zack & Miri, etc.) to have more of the only fun in the movie with his rapping video clip.
I have to admit Hugh Hefner has a natural screen presence and his 60 second sequence was actually appropriate - it appears he does not have to act, it just comes naturally, as does his explanation about how to treat women; skip the movie and just watch that one part.
The unrated is only 3:10 minutes longer and had nothing special to offer over the rated. I did verify they dubbed over the school speech in both versions, so I am curious what she was actually saying that they had to change it. Skipper.

Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (2009) Review

What speaks volumes about the overall quality of this movie is that it was released in only half a dozen movie theaters nationwide, and grossed less than 20k at the box office.
At best it's an average movie with no quality acting, which reflects the fact that only 5% of voters on Rotten Tomatoes actually enjoyed it. The complications that arise with our main character as the movie progresses are predictable, as is the "twist" that occurs at the film's conclusion.
The biggest mystery of this film is how they were able to land Michael Douglas on the cast. Douglas has virtually no real screen time in this movie, which is a major disappointment for those of us who enjoyed his work in movies like King of California, Wall Street and Basic Instinct. No need to wait for the jury to return to the courtoom; my verdict is that it's not worth even a Redbox rental.
