Now, this is what I call visionnary sci-fi – even though the bulk of the film is made up of scenes of people sitting and talking in a car. I mean, that’s the future: not spaceships, but the back of a stretch limousine filled with touch screens, where a twentysomething billionaire does business with various associates en route while, outside the limo’s bulletproof windows, the…
Eli Cash (the gloriously cool Owen Wilson) has always wanted to be a Tenenbaum, ever since he was a kid living across the street. He always envied these children who inspired their mother Etheline (Angelica Huston) to write a book entitled “A Family of Geniuses”. Like the Glass family in J.D. Salinger’s post-Catcher oeuvre, the Tenenbaums spawned one whiz kid after another: Chas (Ben Stiller),…
“Well, I won’t argue that it was a no holds barred, adrenaline-fueled thrill ride.” What a great time to be an action cinema fan! Right about now, you’re probably saying, “Dude, what the hell are you talking about? Hot Fuzz ain’t an action movie, it’s a spoof of one!” You’ve got some attitude, Mister. Besides, you’re wrong! Writer-director Edgar Wright and star/co-writer Simon Pegg are…
“An idea is like a virus, resilient, highly contagious. The smallest seed of an idea can grow. It can grow to define or destroy you.” Rarely do we see a picture that so deviously blurs the line between Hollywood blockbuster and art-house film. I guess Christopher Nolan‘s own “The Dark Knight” kinda fits the definition, but even that remained a pulpy genre movie, however…
Los Angeles, nowadays. Unknowingly to us humans, angels wander around the City of Angels, providing enlightenment and guiding the departing souls. Wearing dark trench-coats, they gracefully walk from beaches at sunset, to the windy tops of skyscrapers, from hospitals to libraries. One of them is the melancholy Seth. Even though he loves eternity and undying bliss, he also longs for the primitive human pleasures. The…

Luke doesn’t give a damn. He’s had it rough enough, long enough not to care no more. Sure, sometimes he wonders why and how and whatnot, you know, what’s the old man up there’s doing to him? But mostly he just goes with the flow, taking hardships as they come with a smile. After all, a lot of them he’s brought himself. Like now he’s…
You gotta love Mike Myers. Really, you do! Whether he’s playing Wayne, Austin Powers or his newest creation, the guru Pitka, he’s so spirited, good-natured and clearly having a blast being a goofball that it’s almost impossible not to be won over.

While he’s in LA, he decides to start on another story. Health clubs…
