Star power energises this state-of-a-nation address, with the stellar names playing to their strengths in the hope of masking what’s essentially a parade of ideological attitudes rather than a drama in its own right. Tom Cruise struts his stuff as hot-shot Republican senator, telling old-school journalist Meryl Streep his latest ruse to make America ‘a [...]

The Crucible (1996)

February 22, 2010 | Leave a Comment

Watching the recent silent picture based on "The Crucible" - unvarying though
its script has been adapted by the playwright Arthur Miller himself - you
may mind-blower how the story was a metaphor for the "virago hunts"
of Senator Joseph McCarthy and his For nothing Un-American Activities Committee
pals steadfast on driving Commies out of pocket of the underbrush [...]

Actually, in my thoughts, this film, with its separate complementarity stories, is “The Godfather Partial I and Part III,” with the original film absolutely being “Part II” and the certain mist coming in as “Part IV.” Francis Ford Coppola notes that in working on The Godfather Saga (the version in which he cut the film [...]

Meat and Greet

In the mid-1980s, Tobe Hooper signed a three-picture deal with Canon to
make this,

Lifeforce

and

Invaders from Mars

, though I'm not exactly sure
which ones Hooper wanted to make and which ones Canon wanted him to
make. I think Hooper cultists would cast a vote for

Lifeforce

as the
best of the three, but this sequel to Hooper's

masterpiece

isn't bad
either. It's meant [...]

Girl 27 review

February 18, 2010 | Leave a Comment

There’s a compelling true-life story of Hollywood during its golden age and the sordid reality of a young girl caught in its machinations lurking somewhere in David Stenn’s self-aggrandizing documentary, Girl 27, but you’ll have to pick through all the specious suppositions, and self-congratulatory excess to find those isolated bits and pieces. It’s a [...]

Payday review

February 14, 2010 | Leave a Comment

For the most part this is an accurate and observant motion picture around a outback and western singer on the road. Doubts adjacent to the commercial viability of such a project are reflected in the introduction of very dramatic elements into the script (a manslaughter and a last-altercation death). But it remains one of those [...]

Half-Cocked review

February 11, 2010 | Leave a Comment

The Product:
Anyone who’s been involved in one can give someone a piece of one’s mind you – a local music scene becomes a barest inflexible knit group. More like a dearest than a bunch of semi-famous faces, bands who gravitate for everyone their hometown (or an adopted variety of same) tend to be territorial, protective [...]

There are exhausting politicians and there are stiff federal movies, but the rigidity of the Bloodless Take in-based fairy tale that is “First Daughter” is in a group even pollsters may bear a inscrutable time assessing. Certainly one of the strangest pop culture by-products of the Bush 43 era, this would-be romance about the bumpy [...]
