Emilia Perez (Jacques Audiard, director & co-writer) With all the attention it’s getting and a bunch of Oscar nominations, this film can’t be ignored. It has musical numbers with people singing and dancing, but somehow doesn’t feel like a musical, certainly not a traditional one. The...
This is the first problem with the movie. The second is that the film’s title does not epitomise the movie it wants to be. From the sound of it, one would think It Comes At Night is a paranormal horror film. There are a couple of jump scares, but not enough for the movie to ...
Expect an extensive period of test marketing to watch the metrics, numbers, and public, for example, stats, posters, flyers, cards, commercials, interviews with cast. UPDATE: February 5, 2023 – In conclusion, Brigid and Maeve, recent color grading, titling. History from the Celtic point of ...
Ignore the title: What’s going on here storywise is almost beside the point (if we tell you that the film culminates with the Three Wise Men being chased through a series of Christmas cards, you’ll get the idea). What’s so great about it?What distinguishes “Storytime” is its ...
In the best of ways possible. Things didn’t bode well at first since the previews on our rented DVD screamed low-budget and cheesy with sub-standard acting and ridiculously cheap production. I expected a by-the-numbers, cliche-riddled Halloween (1978) style rip-off. Some thirty years after...
In a white room, Quentin, Worth, Holloway, Rennes and Leaven meet. None know where they are, how they got there, or why. Some cubes contain traps; assuming they are triggered by motion detectors, Rennes tests each by throwing a boot in first. Leaven notices numbers inscribed in the ...
The other nicety is the title of the film. One might assume (I did) that the character of Mimi is female and is seduced by a male but in Wertmüller’s film, it is the reverse. This causes traditional gender stereotypes to be turned on their heads with more awareness of assumptions. ...
Better Man also boasts extraordinary musical numbers that combine Williams' hits with spirited choreography and awe-inspiring staging that turns everything from double-decker buses, glamorous yachts, and dodgy drug dens into a stage fit for a king of showmanship. As I cheered in Mashable's rave ...
strippervariety, but the 1960’s burlesque style shenanigans. Sometimes these dancers are individual ladies, sometimes it’s a chorus line, and occasionally it’s the drunken ballroom dancing variety. So, why is a film with such a unique title so obsessed with numerous long dance numbers?
Mad Max (1979) is a gritty and dirty film that is nothing like any other film coming before it. There are an edginess and an “off the beaten track” quality that sucks you in and pummels you into submission with its energy and ferocity. ...
