American Teen

August 8th, 2008

American Teen takes us through the senior year of an American high school smack dab in the middle of a red state bible belt. Focussing on four 18 year olds in Warsaw Indiana this amazing documentary actually plays out like an insightfully written drama. In a word there’s a jock, geek, prom queen and misfit - none of whom is totally likeable although some are more charming than others. The qua ...

Man on Wire

August 8th, 2008

Man on Wire was the improvised and amusing description on a 1974 New York City police report describing the nature of a disturbance cause by an arrested Parisian street performer. Philippe Petit was the culprit and the wire you see was stretched between the then brand new World Trade Towers. The arrest took over an hour as Petit was in no hurry to wrap up his adventure and the police were und ...

Swing Vote

August 1st, 2008

Swing Vote solidifies Kevin Kostner as the new go-to-guy for the personification of rumpled. Here he’s known as Bud to everyone including his child. He’s a middle aged slacker and single father to Molly (the endearing Madeline Carroll who has an impressive resume for a 12 year old) in an arid small town with the unlikely name of Texaco New Mexico. The pre teen Molly is the Hollywood cliché ch ...

This time Farrell and Reilly are 40ish man-boys each enjoying his own hapless failure to launch.

Josh’s paren ...

BRIDESHEAD REVISITED

July 24th, 2008

BRIDESHEAD REVISITED brings the novel by Evelyn Waugh to the big screen - shorter but richer that the 1981 serialized TV version. Brideshead is a palatial English country estate which is a touchstone for our protagonist Charles Ryder (Matthew Goode) but for its heirs it’s a prison and if it had a warden that would be Lady Marchmain (Emma Thompson) the family matriarch. Working class Charles i ...

THE LAST MISTRESS

July 24th, 2008

THE LAST MISTRESS is adapted from a controversial 1851 Novel Central to the story is Ryno de Marigny (newcomer Fu'ad Ait Aattou who is much too pretty for a guy) and Vellini his lover of 10 years portrayed by veteran Italian actress Asia Argento - clearly the more macho of the two until seen unclad which becomes more and more frequent as the film progresses. We meet Ryno in 1835’s Paris as it ...
