Russian Ark (2002)

You only get one shot

A 19th century French diplomat finds himself in Russia's State Hermitage Museum speaking perfect Russian and not knowing how he got there.  The rest is very interesting, pure cinema at its best.  This groundbreaking film 'one ups' Alfred Hitchcock's Rope by being filmed in one 90 minute take, uninterrupted by edits. 

Filmed in real time with a Steadicam, Russian Ark is nothing short of extraordinary.  Apart from the obvious technical brilliance and skill behind making the film, the things that happen in front of the camera are very impressive as well.  The acting is top notch, the costumes are amazing, and the setting is gorgeous.  This unique film, which could have just been a gimmicky film is truly great.

The Place Beyond the Pines (2013)

You can't choose your family

The film is a very clear three act presentation of three related threads of the same story.  The connections become clear later in the film, although Derek Cianfrance tips his hand a little making the payoff a bit predictable.  This film starts off really strong, but finishes a bit weakly with the second and third acts lack the power of the first one.  Cianfrance is the man behind Blue Valentine, one of my favorite films of the past few years.

Movie Review: Pain and Gain (2013)

We want to pump you up

Daniel Lugo, a Miami bodybuilder formulates a plan to get rich.  After recruiting some accomplices, they make a plan.  Unfortunately the plan involves kidnapping and murder, something which none of them are any good at pulling off.  The film is filled with cliches and stereotypes.  It gets old after a while.  And I can't stand Michael Bay.  In spite of all that, this film was well shot, funny, outrageous, and had some really good action sequences.

My Brother the Devil (2012)

Gangsters, guns, and drugs

Mohammed (Mo) and his brother Rashid (Rash) are the children of Egyptian immigrants living in the London neighborhood of Hackney.  Rashid is part of a street gang which mainly sells drugs.  Mo wants to be a part of that life, but Rash doesn't want him in it.  The director gives us a realistic glimpse into life in the English ghetto, which seems to have taken its cues from the worst parts of American culture.  This film had me hooked from the first five minutes.  It is one of those rare movies that is so well made that I got lost in the story and forgot that the rest of the world existed.  Can't wait to see more from Sally El Hosaini!

Movie Review: The Way Way Back (2013)

One crazy summer

When Duncan is forced to to spend the summer at the beach with his mom's new boyfriend, things don't look so good.  Duncan manages to salvage his summer by getting a job at a local water park.  This film is funny at some points.  However, the story felt very forced and contrived.  All the loose ends got wrapped up way too easily.  It seems like the filmmakers were trying so hard to make their film attractive to the indie crowd that they didn't bother making the film anything more than amusing.  There are some laugh out loud moments, but  I really didn't care about the characters or what happened to them. The three best things about this film are Liam James, Sam Rockwell, and AnnaSophia Robb

Movie Review: Upside Down (2012)

Get up for the down stroke

Adam and Eden live on two worlds which are connected yet remain separated.  They fall in love.  Although the idea of the story is in itself pretty fantastic and although the visuals are a real treat, overall the film only manages to achieve mediocrity at best.  The clumsy dialogue and melodramatic performances weigh this film down horribly.  It was actually difficult to believe that the three big names in this film, Jim Sturgess, Kirsten Dunst, and Timothy Spall, are the same great actors that I've seen in several other great films (Across the Universe, Melancholia, Harry Potter, etc) In general, big budget sci-fi, and other genre films, are rarely very good since they are often dumbed down for a wider audience.

Movie Review: Celeste and Jesse Forever (2012)

It had to be you

Celeste and Jesse have been married for several years, but are in the process of getting divorced.  The problem is that they still spend loads of time together.  Jesse actually lives in the studio space behind the home that they used to share.  When Jesse finds someone else, Celeste has to come to grips with losing him for good.  Some parts of the film are cheesy and made me groan.  Some are too far fetched and made me say, 'that could never happen to a real person.'  At the same time, I loved this film.  The thing which makes me like this film as much I do is the fact that I cared about the characters.  I cared how Jesse' new relationship worked out.  And I cared about how Celeste's life might turn out.  Very strong performances by both Samberg and Jones makes this a very enjoyable viewing.

Movie Review: The Iceman (2012)

Stone cold crazy

Based on the true story of a New Jersey hitman, The Iceman tells how Richard Kuklinski became a notorious contract killer.  For me, Michael Shannon makes the movie what it is.  His physical stature alone is amazing.  He has such a talent for playing severely messed up people (Take Shelter, The Missing Person, Boardwalk Empire).  In general it is a very solid film and I liked it a lot.

Movie Review: Amour (2012)

These are the days

Georges and Anne are an elderly couple living in Paris seem to be enjoying their golden years when Anne begins having health issues.   A stroke leads to an operation which leads to further issues.  Georges finds himself caring for Anne, something which he finds exasperating at times.  This very realistic, un-Hollywood look at love, relationships, and what it means to be committed to someone is beautiful at times, painful at others.  It is gorgeously shot and the acting is incredible.  This film won multiple awards including the Palme D'or at Cannes in 2012 and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 2013.

Movie Review: Once (2006)

When Irish eyes are smiling

An Irish musician makes a living by busking in his free time and working in a vacuum repair shop.  One day he meets a girl who is also a musician.  When they begin to make music together, it is truly magical.  Everything about this film is great - the music (one of the songs, Falling Slowly won an Oscar in 2008), the characters, the narrative, the way it is shot - everything.  It is the definition of a good film.  This is the type of film against which others should be judged.  I can't say enough good things about this film.

Movie Review: Kill List (2011)

When things go from bad to worse to weird

Jay, combat veteran hooks up with his friend, Gal, to do a job.  As contract killers, the two have a list of people who need to get gotten.  The jobs start out fairly run of the mill but become more bizarre as they work their way through them.  This film is tense, funny, gruesome, and surprising.  Mr. Wheatley, who also directed Down Terrace as well as he upcoming A Field in England, is definitely one of my new favorite directors.

Movie Review: Horrible Bosses (2011)

This is why I don't watch many comedies

The title of the film pretty much sums it up - three friends have horrible bosses.  Because they hate them so much, they make a plan to kill them all.  I am not a big fan of films like this basically because I don't find them very funny or entertaining.  I only watched this because John Frances Daley who played Sam Weir on Freaks & Geeks is one of the writers (and makes a small cameo).  On the whole, it's mildly amusing and ridiculous, but not in a good way.  To be honest though it was funnier than I thought it would be, especially the last third of the movie.  Apparently lots of money was spent making this one star studded comedy. 

Horrible Bosses gets out 3 of 5 stars.

Movie Review: Museum Hours (2012)

A day at the museum

Johann works at the Kunsthistorisches Art Museum in Vienna, Austria.  He encounters Anne, an American woman whose sister that lives in Vienna becomes gravely ill.  The unlikely pair build a very amiable relationship.  This free flowing narrative lends itself easily to beautiful shots of the museum as we'll as the streets of Vienna.  Although it wasn't quite amazing as some reviewers made it out to be, this film is a treat for the eyes and is a worthwhile viewing experience.

Movie Review: +1 (2013)

Seeing double again

A teenage party is turned upside down when doubles of every person start appearing.  This film is not very suspenseful or scary.  It is entertaining and amusing and turns the whole 'teenage party out of control' on its head.  For a smaller film trying to do something different, it is good, not amazingly good, but good.

Poulet aux Prunes (Chicken with Plums) 2011))

Ready to die

Nassar Ali Khan is a well known violinist who has decided to die.  His career is stalled, his marriage is suffering, and he pines for a long lost love.  This whimsical, humorous, and sad story tells of lost loves and relationships gone bad.  I love the visuals in this films and am reminded of films such as Bunny and the Bull and The Science of Sleep.

Somos lo que hay (We Are What We Are) 2010))

Keeping the ritual

When the patriarch of a Mexican family dies unexpectedly, his family is left to carry on in his wake.  And the way that they carry on is quite brutal.  The family are actually cannibals who are obligated to reenact some sort of ritual.  I watched this because I'd heard there was an solidly made American remake of it.  Since I personally prefer originals over remakes, I went right to the source and was not disappointed.

There are so many things to love about this film.  The story is crazy good.  One of the biggest things I love about the narrative is the sheer mystery of the family's actions.  The story is also very compact and tightly told.  The creepy, off-kilter feel of the film is constant.

Movie Review: Robot & Frank (2012)

 Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto

Frank is a retired cat burglar.  His family is concerned about him because he has developed memory problems.  Like the library that he loves so much, he is a relic of a bygone era.  This film is a sci-fi flick that is light on sci-fi.  I like these type of films which use sci-fi elements as a backdrop against which to tell a good story.  Thumbs up for humor, an interesting story, a great starring actor (Frank Langella) and an interesting concept.  Thumbs down for the all-too-close-to-a-typical Hollywood ending.

Movie Review: The Act of Killing (2012)

Legacy of Brutality

Indonesia is a an island nation with a troubled past.  In this documentary, Joshua Oppenheimer gets a rare insight into the men who were considered heroes by some yet who struck terror in the hearts of their enemies.  A group of these men decide to reenact some of the methods that they used to torture and kill their political opponents.  This crazy and bizarre true story is a one of the most powerful things that I've ever seen.

Movie Review: Savages (2012)

The best weed in the world

A young war veteran, his best friend, and their shared girlfriend have a thriving pot business.  when approached by a Mexican drug cartel about joining them, the there end up in trouble.  I watched it because I respect Oliver Stone's body of work.  However, this outlaw/ drug dealer/ revenge story is a tad bit overdone and feels like a repetition of so many other similar films.  Overall a respectable film and a good watch, but nothing super amazing in this one.  Lastly, I found John Travolta's presence in the film distracting.  Kind of in the same way that Morgan Freeman, Samuel L. Jackson, and Tom Cruise seem to be in every other movie these days.

Movie Review: Resolution (2012)

Time for an intervention

Michael leaves the city to help his friend Chris, a drug addict, to get clean.  As expected, Chris is very reluctant to comply.  But Michael does his best to help.  Meanwhile, some really bizarre things start happening and Michael believes that someone is watching them and leaving clues for him to follow.  I've read comparisons between this film and Joss Whedon's Cabin in the Woods.  Some traits might be shared such as both of the films deconstructing the horror genre.  For a very small indie horror film which has very little in the way of in your face horror, this is a very good film.

Movie Review: Fruitvale Station (2013)

Can't we all just get along

This film tells the the true life story of Oscar Grant, a young man who was shot by a transit cop in San Francisco.  The film chronicles the last day of his life while also giving a look into his past.  Apart just being a really great story, the film is very well made.  It has already won numerous awards including the Sundance Grand Jury and Audience Awards for best dramatic film.  The fact that this is Ryan Coogler's first feature film makes it all that better.

Movie Review: Cyrus (2010)

This means war!

When John meets Molly at a party, they hit it off immediately.  Things start to go south after John meets Cyrus, Molly's 21 year old son.  Both funny and sad at the same time, this film showcases the Duplass brother's about to show the worst as well as the best sides of people.  The awkwardness that they are able to create is hysterical and makes you feel very sympathetic towards the characters. 

Heartwarming and heart-wrenching, Cyrus gets 3.5 out of 5 stars!

Computer Chess (2013)

Do you want to play a game?

When a group of computer programmers get together for their annual chess tournament, it isn't the humans who do the playing.  Instead, their machines are pitted one against the other.  Set in the early 1980s, before the World Wide Web and iPhones, when computers were machines which only a select group of people knew how to use.  This documentary like film is very interesting.  To be honest, I couldn't get into this film at first.  I watched the first 20 minutes or so one day with some friends, then watched the rest of it about three weeks later.  I'm glad I did watch the rest of it though.  The film is unique in so many ways and I can't think of anything that I've seen that remotely compares to it.  It is also entertaining and painfully, embarrassingly funny.

Berberian Sound Studio (2012)

Making a movie, about making movies

Gilderoy is an English sound effects man working in the film industry.  An Italian filmmaker hires him to do sound for his new film, but Gilderoy is having a hard time getting used to the way things are done in Italy.  And he can't seem to get reimbursed him for his plane tickets.

Set in the 1970s, this film is an interesting look at the way films were made in days gone by, when sound engineering was a bit more involved and a bit more analog.  I found this through a list on Fearnet.com for 2013's best horror films.  The visuals in this film are very striking and the editing is phenomenal.  Toby Jones is pretty great in this 'fish out of water' story which is really not a horror film, but more like a black comedy which is concerned with the process of making a film.

Movie Review: Dredd (2012)

I am the law

Judge Dredd gets sent to investigate a triple homicide.  His superiors saddle him with a rookie judge, who just happens to be a psychic.  The rest of a shoot-em-up good time.  This 'day in the life' of a Judge Dredd is very watchable for genre fans and action fans as well.  Based on the comic book character of the same name, Dredd is the type of film which should be widely publicized and enjoyed by comic fans, action fans, and sci-fi fans.  Sadly though, it is also the type of film which gets overshadowed by inferior films such as Thor and Captain America, and Man of Steel.  On the whole, it is way better by far than most of the big name super hero films.  The story is tighter and the action is tougher.  It has much more in common with Christoper Nolan's Batman series, Blade, and Constantine than it does with most other contemporary comic book films.

Dredd pummels its comic book competitors to get to 4 out of 5 stars!

Movie Review: 11:14 (2003)

I love it when a plan comes together

A body falls off an overpass.  A motorist gets stopped by the cops.  A convenience store gets held up.  How are all these things related?  11:14 is one of those great stories that you have to figure out as you go using clues that you've already seen.  And once the pieces fall into place, it is beautiful thing.  The non-linear narrative, which can be tricky and even come across as cheesy, is clever and very we'll used in this film.  And Patrick Swayze is pretty funny in his role.  A good, fun film.

You're Next (2011)

I will survive

When the four grown children (with significant others in tow) come together to celebrate their parent's anniversary, the sweet little family reunion turns into a bloodbath.  Stalked by masked killers, people start getting picked off one by one.  Except for Erin, the girlfriend of one of the sons, who decides to defend the house and fight back.  The rest of the film is pure badass action. 

My thought after finishing this film was, This is about as close to perfect as a film can get.  The next thought was, I've got to see this again.  Which is why I didn't send it back to Netflix the next day, but instead I watched it again the next night.  That is something that very rarely happens, maybe once or twice a year.

Why is this film so great?  Numerous reasons - The story was very tightly told, the pacing was phenomenal, the acting was great, the action was outstanding, and the cinematography was awesome.  On top of all that, I love how the filmmakers turned the home invasion sub-genre completely upside down.  This is the type of film that The Purge wanted so hard to be.  In fact, this is the type of film that so many films want to be like.  In short, this film is amazing.

Jimmy, who has spent years on the road with Blue Oyster Cult, finds his services no longer needed.  Not knowing what else to do, he ends up back in his hometown.  Staying with his mother and reconnecting with old friends has him missing his life on the road.  A great little film with really strong characters, Roadie shows.how hard it is to go home again.  Jimmy's struggle with being back in his old stomping grounds and having no one really care about his life is heartbreaking.  A very we'll made film with great characters, good acting, and a great story.

Movie Review: De rouille et d'os ((Rust and Bone) 2012)

Life loves a tragedy

Alain is drifter with a young son who moves to the south of France to find work where he and his son Sam move in with his sister.  When Alain encounters Stephanie, a former orca trainer who had a serious accident, they begin a relationship which is not easily defined.  I love Marion Cotillard, but this is the first French film that I've ever seen her in. She is great actress to watch in English language roles, but in her native French, she really comes alive.  Seeing her in this film is akin to me seeing Antonio Banderas in La piel que habito (The Skin I Live In) or Javier Bardem in Biutiful.  The truly surreal thing about watching this film is that the night before I had watched the documentary Blackfish.  Then I watched this one, not knowing that Cotillard's character in this film was once an orca trainer whose life was rocked by an accident like the one's portrayed in that documentary.  Crazy!

Movie Review: Safety Not Guaranteed (2012)

Gotta get back in time

Jeff is a reporter who is tasked to investigate a very strange newspaper ad.  His publisher makes him take two interns along with him.  Darius strikes up a friendship with the man who placed the ad and finds him to be a tad but eccentric, yet at the same time endearing.  Jake Johnson is basically playing his Nick Miller (New Girl) character and is nothing to excited about.  Mark Duplass and Aubrey Plaza on the other hand do a great job in their respective roles.  I enjoy small films like this which have a sci-fi premise, but which used it as a backdrop for the development of the narrative (such as Timer or 11 Minutes Ago).  Overall, a good film.
