MAJESTIC, THE

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

THE MAJESTIC desperately wants to be a heartwarming classic, the type that is a staple of family gatherings and the holiday memories of a million people. It is intent on warming the cockles of the heart, but screenwriter and Hollywood native Michael Sloanr, even abetted by GREEN MILE and SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION director Frank Darabont, has… Read More »

WINGED MIGRATION (LE PEUPLE MIGRATEUR)

WINGED MIGRATION (LE PEUPLE MIGRATEUR)

You could be forgiven if see the previews of Jacques Perrin’s WINGED MIGRATION and conclude that this is just another well-produced documentary about our fine feathered friends. You’d be so wrong. This is to the nature documentary, even the finest ones that have found a home on PBS, what home movies are to CITIZEN KANE.… Read More »

KM 0

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

It’s Madrid, it’s summer, and the only thing soaring higher than the temperature are the hormones of an unlikely band of strangers who are about to become much more in Juan Luis Iborra and Yolanda Barcia Serrano’s frothy and very sexy comedy, KM O. There’s nothing too deep here, unless you count the power of… Read More »

HELL HOUSE – DVD

HELL HOUSE – DVD

HELL HOUSE is one of the scariest documentaries you will ever see. In it, fundamentalists with what they consider to be the purest of motives, put on a Halloween house in which scenarios are staged depicting violence that is intensely disturbing both emotionally and graphically. It’s all meant to convert the unsaved by demonstrating a… Read More »

MUCH ADO ABOUT SOMETHING

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

The piquant documentary, MUCH ADO ABOUT SOMETHING, takes on the question of who actually wrote Shakespeare’s plays and poems.  Now, I am of the opinion that in the final analysis, it doesn’t really matter.  The works speak for themselves and whether they were written by the Bard of Avon or not, they still glimmer with… Read More »

LAST CASTLE, THE

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

I will say this for THE LAST CASTLE, it being such a ho-hum picture it doesn’t put us in the uncomfortable position in these uncertain times of dealing with the moral dilemma of enjoying a finely crafted film about American soldiers fighting among themselves.  It’s surprisingly dull for a film that has so many things… Read More »

A KNIGHT’S TALE

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

No doubt about it, A KNIGHT’S TALE is an odd film. Part adventure tale, part romance, part social commentary and don’t forget the one thing that will stick with you long after Heath Ledger’s dreamy smile and Rufus Sewell’s wildly sexy sneer have drifted away. The way these denizens of 14th century Europe break into… Read More »

SUNSHINE HOTEL

SUNSHINE HOTEL

Michael Dominic’’s documentary SUNSHINE HOTEL takes us to one of the last of the flophouses that once teemed in New York’’s Bowery.  From a high of two hundred half a century ago, there are now only eight, housing tenants in cubicles with chicken wire instead of ceilings, tenants who cling to those cubicles as an… Read More »

TRIBUTE

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

So what is it exactly that makes a person want to become someone else, even for a few hours up one a stage? That’s an interesting enough question, but Rich Hall and Kris Curry goes a bit deeper than that with their endlessly fascinating documentary, TRIBUTE, a look at the people in tribute bands and,… Read More »

SHREK

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

As a pleasant reminder of what you’re NOT going to get with SHREK, this animated film starts with the cliché of a storybook fairy tale. Big green hands turn the oversized, tritely illustrated pages of a princess locked in a tower and the brave knight who rescues her and gives her true love’s first kiss.… Read More »
