Street Poet Movie Review by Ryan A. Loera
Stars:
Jeff Stearns - Jake
Tara D'Agostino - Marni
C. Thomas Howell - David Settles
Director: E. Paul Edwards
Release Date: March 2, 2010
Genre: Drama
Rated R
The life of a poet is not an easy one. It's filled with many hardships and struggles. But there are moments of great creative expression as well.
Jake (Jeff Stearns) is your typical angst ridden poet struggling to get his poetry heard and read by the masses.
Enter Marni (Tara D'Agostino) a talent scout for a major publisher who is very interested in getting Jake's work published. She takes Jake to a well known poet's, David Settles (C. Thomas Howell), book signing/reading with the hope of inspiring him to become more marketable.
Jake is reluctant to conform but he eventually realizes this could be his only shot at being a nationally recognized published poet. So, with some vigorous training and coaching from Marni, he becomes a lean mean poetry machine.
Marni also signs him up for something called a Poetron Slam. Which is just one big spoken word contest in which hundreds of poets compete for prize money.
In between all the training, Jake and Marni become intimate with one another. By which I mean they get it on!
You know what I mean. Eh? Eh? Ha, ha, ha, ha!!
But seriously… Jake learns of Marni's life threatening illness and freaks out a little bit but eventually looks past it.
There's a lot of really well written original poems in this movie. Unfortunately, most of the actors have a hard time conveying the raw emotional attributes of each poem. But they deserve applause for trying.
I really like Tara D'Agostino's portrayal of Marni. When I did a Google search I was bummed to see that Street Poet is her only acting credit. Apparently, she's now involved in selling Aflac insurance.
Tara D'Agostino! If you're reading this… PLEASE return to acting! PLEASE!
On a scale of 1 tamale to 10 tamales I give Street Poet 6.8 tamales.

This movie is way better than the first one. It follows a much more elaborate storyline and contains double the amount of action.
The very first scene is so action packed that I almost dropped my bag of over priced popcorn!
In Avengers: Age of Ultron the Avengers do battle with an artificial intelligence that goes by the name Ultron. Ultron was originally designed to be a peace keeping program but was decommissioned before being implemented by any branch of military.
Tony Stark then gets his hands on the Ultron program and with the aid of Bruce Banner decides to reactivate it. Of course, this just opens up a huge can of worms.
Upon being reactivated, Ultron scans all the information available on the internet. He quickly comes to the conclusion that the only way to ensure mankind's safety is by initiating an extinction event of global proportions.
The Avengers are then called into action and all the typical super hero type stuff begins.
One scene I really liked is when Hulk becomes so confused and enraged that he begins destroying everything and everyone in sight. Luckily, Iron Man intervenes but it takes him several attempts before finally getting Hulk under control. The entire scene is pure CGI awesomeness!
Some of the scenes in between the action scenes don't do much to help the story along. But they ultimately segue back into more action scenes.
I also thoroughly enjoyed their final showdown with Ultron. So many things were going on with each character at once. It made me feel like I was watching a comic book come to life. I know that's what these Marvel movies should invoke but this was the first one that did it for me.
I believe all future Marvel movies should adhere to the same format. It would at least get more diehard fans aboard the Marvel movie franchise experience.
On a scale of 1 tamale to 10 tamales I give Avengers: Age of Ultron 8 delicious tamales!
