Elegy

August 29th, 2008

Elegy with Vancouver playing New York and Long Beach playing Long Island cements Ben Kingsley as the hottest folicly challenged sex symbol since Telly Savalas. Here he plays long divorced and celebrated professor David Kepesh. Other than a strained relationship with his grown son (Peter Sarsgaard) he’s comfortable in his very non committal relationship with Carolyn (Patricia Clarkson) when no ...

Sukiyaki Western Django

August 29th, 2008

Sukiyaki Western Django is a cowboy tale wilder than the Wild West itself. The motif is western but the cast is Japanese in a story that takes place in a dusty hamlet some centuries after Japan’s legendary Battle of Dannoura in 1185. Two gangs with ancient rivalries, the Red Clan and the White Clan are at war again over gold found in this town called Yuda. Decorated Japanese film maker Takash ...

The House Bunny

August 22nd, 2008

The House Bunny is the brain child of Anna Faris who also plays Shelley a brainless Playboy bunny tossed to the wolves for the crime of reaching a certain un-Playboy-like age. She’s tragically turfed from the Playboy Mansion by Hef himself before she can fulfill her longstanding dream of making centrefold (but don’t worry, his octogenarian-ship isn’t really that nasty save for subjecting us t ...

Hamlet 2

August 22nd, 2008

Hamlet 2, also known as “Kiss Me Sexy Jesus” are titles that a purist could easily take offence to. Steve Coogan is Dana Marschz a mullet loving recovering alcoholic actor with crushed dreams. After only ever landing roles in bad infomercials (are there any other kind?) he winds up as a drama teacher in Tucson Oklahoma where it seems even big stars like Elisabeth Shue end up. She lampoons her ...

August 22nd, 2008

Frozen River stars Melissa Leo and Misty Upham but almost as importantly stars the eastern winter as a backdrop for the bleak, chilling and inhospitable future facing a trailer park single mother. Ray Eddy (Leo) is abandoned by her gamblers anonymous husband who has fallen off the wagon and taken off with the deposit on their double wide dream home. She can barely afford the popcorn and tang ...

The Longshots

August 22nd, 2008

The Longshots might play like a TV movie in search of a better writer if it were not based on true events. As it is maybe they were doing the best that they could with what they had which is a compelling story. Rapper Ice Cube is amassing an impressive filmography, possibly longer than his discography as he applies his clean cut edginess to Curtis Plummer a football never was in a has been Il ...

Tropic Thunder

August 15th, 2008

Tropic Thunder is the fictitious re-enactment of a non fiction book that turns out to be fiction and in the process fiction becomes reality. Huh? Never mind, all you need to know is that the laughs are non stop through this Ben Stiller directed comedy in which he also stars. The character development is brilliant as we get to know a lot about the movie stars within a movie by the opening scen ...

Vicky Cristina Barcelona

August 15th, 2008

Vicky Cristina Barcelona is not as you might think the name of someone so pretentious they insist on using every one of their names – it’s just one of the three way relationships that drift in and out of this fresh Woody Allen gem. Vicky (Rebecca Hall) is as anal as Cristina (Scarlett Johannson) is loose and it’s a wonder that they’re friends at all. When Vicky’s studies take her to Barcelona ...

Bottle Shock

August 15th, 2008

Bottle Shock is the name given to the phenomenon when the character of wine is changed in transit over long distances. In 1976 the international character of wine was changed forever after a Parisian taste test that pitted French wine (the eternal standard of excellence) against the best from Napa Valley. Alan Rickman is Steven Spurrier, a British oenophile living in Paris but not financiall ...
