THE INVASION

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

THE INVASION

The original INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS was the product of a particular time, place, and mentality. Those would be the 50s, the United States, and the paranoia rampant at the time over the Communist Menace.  Or the 50s, the United States, and the suffocation of conformity.

FIERCE PEOPLE

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

There is little in life sadder to see than a film that thinks it has a great deal to say of a revelatory or profound nature, but doesn’t.

THE LOOKOUT

With fearless performances in Greg Araki’s poetically disturbing MYSTERIOUS SKIN, in Rian Johnson’s piquantly original BRICK and now in writer/director Scott Frank’s THE LOOKOUT, Joseph Gordon-Levitt has established himself as one of the finest actors of his generation.

THE LOOKOUT DVD

THE LOOKOUT DVD

THE LOOKOUT is another showcase in the burgeoning career of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, one of the best actors working today. It may be a low key noir in which he is working, but his performance as Chris Pratt, a brain-damaged former golden boy, is nothing less than riveting. The evolution of his character surpasses the seeming… Read More »
