RC-2013-102: A Few Good Men (1992)
Dipping into the requests pile (thanks Jeremy), I take on the 1992 Rob Reiner blockbuster A Few Good Men. During the film, I sing the praises of glorious genre of the courtroom drama, comparing Reiner's movie to other specimes like The Caine Mutiny and Anatomy of a Murder, as well as well-structured courtroom comedies like Liar Liar and My Cousin Vinny. Additionally, I riff on the formidable dramatic skills of Kevin Pollak and wade far out of my depth by opining on the differences between civilian and military courts. After ignorantly critiquing the lawyer's legal strategy, I explain my beef with the film's climax and the way Sorkin, who was pretty green as a screenwriter then, sets it up. Even if you hate me and hate everything I say in this commentary, I think you should still give me credit for being the only person on Earth to sit through A Few Good Men without doing a douche-y Jack Nicholson impression.
Listen to the mp3. Salute your iTunes shorts.
