THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT

April 19, 2022 By Leave a Comment

THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT

Having starred in a deliciously odd self-portrait by and of Charlie Kaufman, ADAPTATION, Nicolas Cage has waited two decades to take the surreal meta-plunge again and waiting for just the right script has paid off for him and for us. In THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT, he plays a fictionalized version of himself, hamstrung… Read More »

THE MATRIX: RESURRECTIONS

THE MATRIX: RESURRECTIONS

THE MATRIX RESURRECTIONS balances a vibrant cacophony of action with a criminally flabby script that takes far too long to get where it needs to go. It is a triumph of forthright, even giddy, self-awareness and nostalgia as Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves) once again enters the Matrix as a neophyte taking us along for the… Read More »

THE CONJURING: THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT

The class struggle and the human propensity for prejudice; the… Read More »

GONE GIRL

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

GONE GIRL is an elegantly rendered, yet lurid potboiler of a movie. Director David Fincher brings his characteristic darkness, literal and figurative to an already dark tale of subterfuge, murder, and the secrets we keep from everyone, including ourselves. Based on the novel of the same name by screenwriter Gillian Flynn, it gifts us with… Read More »

A VERY HAROLD & KUMAR 3D CHRISTMAS

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

A  VERY HAROLD & KUMAR 3D CHRISTMAS

With some films, the 3-D effect is tacked on to generate a few extra bucks at the box office. And then there are the ones like A VERY HAROLD AND KUMAR 3-D CHRISTMAS. The wisps of smoke coming off those funny cigarettes so dear to the title character’s hearts become prehensile as they float off… Read More »
