In the absence of Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson has stood up and taken hold of the series to legitimize it beyond it’s love of excess and spectacle. She has been afforded a slightly different character to the one she usually plays in Ryan Murphy’s aging series and the result is a commanding performance that deserves to be singled
Whether you feel Mad Max: Fury Road is vastly overrated or worthy of the praise that it has received during the awards season thus far, there’s no denying that the film manages to impress simply from a directorial perspective. George Miller spent years fine-tuning the movie’s action-driven plot and visual design; as a result, Fury Road feels surprisingly intimate for a movie that was made on a nine-figure budget and features nearly as many car crashes/explosions as it does lines of dialogue. That’s quite the accomplishment, on its
Several indie and lesser-known critical-darlings received little-to-no love from the Hollywood Foreign Press, including titles like The Tree of Life , Warrior , Drive , Martha Marcy May Marlene , and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy . Similarly, there were more than a few surprising snubs (no Best Director nod for David Fincher on The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo ? No Winnie the Pooh for Best Animated Feature?) and certain films fared far better than anticipated (namely, The Ides of March ). However, there were also more than a few no-brainers (ex. Meryl Streep being nominated for The Iron Lady ) and some rather unexpected choices (ex. Ryan Gosling in Crazy, Stupid, Lov
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has officially announced its nominations for the 2012 Golden Globes show – and, just like any year, there are many obvious selections, a few surprises, and more than a handful of choices that are bound to rub moviegoers of all shades the wrong (or, in some cases, the right)
There’s a reason she’s the odds-on favorite, Dunst made hard work look easy for 10-episodes and made Peggy the sort of character that you liked and maybe even rooted for, in spite of her shortcomings. That’s a tall order for any actress and Dunst shined through
The pet peeves I have include people that just wouldn’t stay dead. We’re talking getting battered with a big fire extinguisher multiple times with enough force that would turn a skull into pudding. The only explanation might be that due to the effects of the signal, these people weren’t really still moving, getting up, etc., but that those in the room just imagined it. The other thing that bothered me was how our hero seemed to be able to fight off the effects of the signal despite exposure. This was never really explained to my satisfact
They get it done in the nick of time and as it turns out she and the gang-banger friends of the young man living in her home like it as well. Jerry, Mike and a young lady (Melonie Diaz) they rope into working with them also do a version of Rush Hour 2 (no doubt better than the original) – word gets out and soon people are lining up to get their homemade versions of popular mov
Some have taken issue with the idea that The Martian is a “comedy”, but the good-humored tale of one astronaut’s efforts to stay alive (while he’s trapped and alone on the red planet) is one of 2015’s most widely acclaimed movies, in addition to being a major commercial success (with a worldwide box office take that sits close to $600 million). Competition in the comedy category isn’t as strong as the drama line-up either, which makes director Ridley Scott’s space adventure the obvious pick to win here at the Golden Glo
Shortly the image pulls back to reveal that it’s a movie being shown on television. The picture soon starts to break up and is replaced with strange, undulating patterns and a strange noise. (At the time I’m writing this you can go to the official website to see and hear the sig
When the film started, I thought that I might be in for a really low budget, 70’s style horror film. It opened with really grainy film showing a woman under duress in the woods with a man who had apparantly done some unpleasant things to her and was preparing to do more. We cut to an old cabin to see a couple more victims who have been captu
Jerry gets electrocuted while trying to sabotage a power plant, the side effect of which is that he is now magnetized. He comes into the dollar video store where Mike is temporarily in charge and inadvertently erases all the videotapes in the store. Jerry is severely obnoxious and of course, oblivious to the f
Be Kind Rewind is a comedy directed by Michel Gondry, featuring Jack Black and Mos Def. The film follows two friends who accidentally erase all the tapes at their video rental store. Desperate to keep their last few customers, they set out to remake every film in the collection, resulting in a series of wildly creative, low-budget adaptations.
