ANATOMY OF A SCENE – MEMENTO

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

The Sundance Channel’s series, ANATOMY OF A SCENE, usually examines a film in current release, gathering together the team from both sides of the camera to discuss several aspects of one particular scene.  The results, presented with a refreshing lack of technical jargon or stultifyingly obtuse film theory, shed a light on the creative process… Read More »

OLIVE OR TWIST

OLIVE OR TWIST

Consider the martini. That just what Peter Moody has done with OLIVE OR TWIST, a kitschy 55-minute valentine to that most persistent and evocative of cocktails. Standard references will give you facts, figures, and the twisted history surrounding Martini’s origins, but only Moody will also give you the ambiance, the gestalt, and yes, the cult… Read More »

UNDERGROUND ZERO

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

Before we are inundated with what will no doubt be a lion’s share of indifferent movies about the events of 9/11, take the time to see UNDERGROUD ZERO, a thoughtful, intelligent take on what that day and its aftermath mean. The film is an anthology of thirteen short films commissioned by producers and filmmakers Jay… Read More »

SCORPION KING, THE

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

To their credit, the people behind THE SCORPION KING knew exactly what they were dealing with producing a movie starring The Rock. No, it’s not one of the Pillars of Hercules, but rather a wrestling superstar who, now that I think of it, does rather have those monumental proportions.  They tailored the script to take advantage… Read More »

Chris and Paul Weitz Talk ABOUT A BOY

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

Chris and Paul Weitz were the directors of the wildly successful AMERICAN PIE. I was suitably impressed that they were able to switch successfully from broad farce to an insightful, even sensitive, comedy about a man who refuses to grow up and a boy who had no choice in the matter. Talking with them, it quickly became apparent that… Read More »

ONE HOUR PHOTO

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

It’s not a terribly original premise.  Lonely guy longs for the warmth and comfort of a family and becomes attached to what he considers to be the ideal set up. Still, obsession can be tantalizing fodder for film when handled correctly, which in the case of ONE HOUR PHOTO, it’s not. It has all the excitement,… Read More »

THE CROCODILE HUNTER: COLLISION COURSE

I am never going to have an aesthetic appreciation of the bird-eating spider.  It’s about the size of a Bosc pear, hairy, and packing fangs that spout venom.  Steve Irwin, cable television’s Crocodile Hunter, on the other hand, has a starry-eyed, ebullient adoration for it that makes the creature seem a little less loathsome.  And… Read More »

BLADE II

October 21, 2014 By Leave a Comment

It is a sad but inexorable fact of life that in order to get by in this world, it is necessary to have an income of some sort. There are groceries to buy, shelter to secure and clothes to be put on one’s back. And so it is that I look at Guillermo del Toro’s association with… Read More »

CROP CIRCLES: QUEST FOR TRUTH DVD

CROP CIRCLES: QUEST FOR TRUTH DVD

Last fall, when I saw William Gazecki’s intriguing documentary, CROP CIRCLES: QUEST FOR TRUTH, I came away wanting to see more. Now that CIRCLES is out on DVD, I get my wish. Though, to be honest, I still want to see more, but then Gazecki has found a topic that is endlessly fascinating and seemingly… Read More »
