Land of the Lost

June 8th, 2009

Land of the Lost is a big screen adaptation of a long ago TV series that was rejuvenated in the early ’90’s. Where it may have a nostalgic aspect for original viewers, as a stand alone movie it’s just plain silly. Will Farrell gambled and lost on this movie playing Dr. Rick Marshall who with much debatable hubris expounds his theory to an incredulous Matt Lauer (in a bad career move) that man ...

Easy Virtue

June 8th, 2009

Easy Virtue is an adaptation of a Noel Coward play that has not been put to celluloid since 1928 under the direction of Alfred Hitchcock. While at that time it would have been a contemporary film, now it’s a period piece. Of note is Colin Firth who no longer seems to be tapped for roles as a lady killer but is cast here in a more mature role although with patience we see that he still has som ...

UP

UP is the latest animated treat from Pixar and their first in 3D (where available). The hysterical trailers have been running for months but no hints of motivation are given for Carl Fredricksen (a fine welcome back for Ed Asner) a grumpy old man using a monstrous battery of helium filled balloons to float his character home in the city on a jungle safari accompanied by an ersatz boy scout na ...

EVERY LITTLE STEP

June 8th, 2009

EVERY LITTLE STEP is a more fascinating documentary than you would expect about the audition process for the 2006 restaging on Broadway of A Chorus Line. The show originally opened on a shoe string off Broadway in 1974 and by the time it closed down it was the longest running production ever on the Great White Way and remains in 4th place on that list to this day. That musical which won multi ...

ANGELS & DEMONS

May 16th, 2009

ANGELS & DEMONS is the precursor to Dan Browns Da Vinci Code and has Tom Hanks again under the direction of Ron Howard but mercifully mullet free reprising his role as super symbologist Robert Langdon. Where the Da Vinci Code got bogged down in over explanations, this time Howard gets it right. Here anti matter is a long way off from propelling the Enterprise to warp speed but in a subterrane ...

IS ANYBODY THERE?

May 16th, 2009

IS ANYBODY THERE? is a coming of age film with a twist as the coming of age is not only an entry but also an exit. Edward (Bill Milner) is a mid 80’s 10 year old resentful of his parents newest vocation as it has put him out of his former bedroom. He acts out a lot because they’ve taken to offering long term care for the aging in their rural home. This is actually a mixed blessing for Edward ...

FIERCE LIGHT: WHEN SPIRIT MEETS ACTION

May 16th, 2009

FIERCE LIGHT: WHEN SPIRIT MEETS ACTION explores inner motivations that attempt to induce change peacefully. It argues that it is a growing global phenomenon and rather grandiosely asserts that it was responsible for Barack Obama getting elected. Acclaimed Canadian documentarian Velcrow Ripper was originally inspired by the death of a fellow film maker covering the repression of Mexican peace ...
