Rampart


Moverman moves noble military men to corrupt L.A. characters in this overly unstructured character piece.  Harrelson’s performance is fine, but development of his character became unfollowably deep.  Supporting celebs bit performances and odd family structure add little, and distract from interesting moral conundrums.  Foster’s reunion is amusing but not amazing.

21 Jump Street


Hill cleverly spearheads re-imagining of once serious show into slapstick drama that actually has a few things to say.  Tatum finally finds a place for his charming doofus, while Larson, baby Franco and alarming Ice Cube provide solidly comedic supporting performances.  Action scenes are weak, but cameo blows minds, literally.
