LIMITLESS

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

It’s the dream come true. A pill that allows a person to remember everything he or she has ever seen, access it instantly, and fire off the synapses in order to use that information meaningfully in any given situation. Too good to be true? Of course. And that’s the rub in LIMITLESS, a spiffy little… Read More »

THE RAID 2: BERENDAL

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

Anyone can film violence for violence’s sake. Few filmmakers can film violence and make it not just part of the story, but also a metaphor for the brutality of life, and, beyond that, a disturbingly beautiful work of art.  Gareth Evans is the latter, and his latest, THE RAID 2: BERANDAL is not just as… Read More »

RECRUIT, THE

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

It’s such a neat idea for a flick — an intricately plotted tale of spies playing both sides against the middle with a gazillion twists and turns and no one, especially the audience, quite knowing where the middle is until the end. And one day, if we’re good, we’ll get a flick like that. For… Read More »

THE ORDER

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

In A KNIGHT’S TALE, an odd film of which I am inordinately fond, Brian Helgelend told a serious story with comedy. In his latest effort, THE ORDER, he tells a serious story with tedium. The results are considerably less appealing. Not that I didn’t know something was up when this turkey was released without a… Read More »

FINAL CUT, THE

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

There is something disconcerting to have a life summed up in the number of hours lived, or to have scenes from that life played out with subtitle indicating the person’s name and age, age in years, months and hours. It those moments that provide the grist for THE FINAL CUT’s mill, a film that takes… Read More »

THE NUMBER 23

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

It’s one thing when a film is bad from the very start. There is an honesty about it, a candor that is, in its own small way, praiseworthy. The same cannot be said about THE NUMBER 23. Instead of breaking one’s heart merely by being bad, it commits the far more heinous offense of offering… Read More »

THE GOOD SHEPHERD – DVD

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

Doing the wrong things for the right, even honorable, reasons is the heart of the conflict in THE GOOD SHEPHERD, director Rober De Niro’s history of the CIA as told through the story of one of its founders. The tale is fictional, but the events, from the fall of the Third Reich to the Kennedy-era… Read More »
