“I believe every man has a path laid up before him. My path is a righteous one. I’ve been chosen to be the protector. In these dark times, the world has no use for another scared man. Right now, the world needs a fucking hero.” An improbable cross between “Taxi Driver” and “Freddy Got Fingered”, “Observe and Report” has unsurprisingly divided critics. Fueled by the…
I really love Nora Ephron. Really really love her work, most especially her Meg Ryan trilogy, from the amazing “When Harry met Sally…” (which she wrote for Rob Reiner to direct) to “Sleepless in Seattle” and “You’ve Got Mail”, which team the sweet Ryan with the equally sweet Tom Hanks. It’s the kind of movies that reach your emotional core and your dreams and make…
Ryan Reynolds slowly seems to be withdrawing from starring in brainless slapstick comedies; a move that is undoubtedly much appreciated. He already showed great skill in John August’s mystery thriller “The Nines,” and now he leads in Adam Brooks’ “Definitely, Maybe,” a serious comedy about a downhearted father who gets the opportunity to revisit his past and make up for his failures. Reynolds jumps…
A spooky dummy and the vengeful ghost of a ventriloquist make one mean combination in the very accomplished “Dead Silence”, the second film from Saw director James Wan. Working with much of the same team from the 2004 franchise launcher, including screenwriter Leigh Whannell and composer Charlie Clouser, Wan has wrung out a fearsome horror tale out of what could have been high-concept kitsch….
Gluttony. Greed. Sloth. Lust. Pride. Envy. Wrath. Seven deadly sins, seven ways to die. That’s the philosophy of a sadistic serial killer in this excellent thriller. Two cops are after him: an old black detective who’s about to retire (the impeccable Morgan Freeman) and a young, careless rookie (Brad Pitt, surprisingly effective). That might sound very familiar, but don’t be fooled: this ain’t no buddy…
Every scientist agrees that if we keep burning up fuel carelessly, eventually global warming will get so bad that it’s gonna be buh-bye, mankind. Usually, the image we have of that is boiling oceans and scorching heat that cook people alive, but the apocalyptic scenario in “The Day After Tomorrow” is the exact opposite. Inspired by “The Coming Global Superstorm”, a non-fiction novel by Art…
(25 Nov-4 Dec) Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life (2016, Amy Sherman-Palladino & Daniel Palladino) [ “Gilmore Girls” is one of my favorite series of all time in part because unlike some, I adore Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Rory (Alexis Bledel), a mother and daughter who are also best friends, sharing a passion for talking fast and eating way too much junk food….
Clouds fill the sky. Dark clouds. Full clouds. Angry clouds. Lightning hits. And hits. And hits. It seems like it’ll never stop until… it stops. A beat. The ground starts to shake, quake, break… BOOM! Something springs out of the earth, a huge machine, some kind of… tripod. And then come the death rays, the tentacles, the red grass, the fire, the rivers of corpses…
