  • Got Me Some Blues: Avatar December 21, 2009
    One good thing you can say about a movie is when you’re so caught up in it that your critical faculties become suspended aside from any choice of your own. That can be said of Avatar, particularly when seen in 3-D (or “Real-D”, as was written on our glasses). A film with hype like this [...]

  • That was pure wild-animal craziness: Fantastic Mr. Fox December 9, 2009
    Finally, disciples of Wes Anderson can feel vindicated – not that they ever cared – for their faith in a filmmaker whose efforts seem to hit and miss with the masses (particularly the critics) but which never stop providing constant joys to those blessed with the sight and souls to recognize and to feel the [...]

  • “Thanksgiving/Christmas Film Quiz” December 7, 2009
    Found this originally here, but I guess it originated on the web over here. I have a strange inability to resist these. 1) Second-favorite Coen Brothers movie. O Brother, Where Art Thou? 2) Movie seen only on home format that you would pay to see on the biggest movie screen possible? (Question submitted by Peter Nellhaus) Andrei [...]

  • Dunked in Poo: Slumdog Millionaire December 6, 2009
    Slumdog Millionaire is, as J.M. Tyree so effectively put it, a film that fits into that genre all its own, “the Best Picture Picture.” Tyree (in a recent issue of Film Quarterly) and Salman Rushdie (in his infamous lecture at Emory University) have been some of the most thoughtful and articulate opponents of this movie, [...]

  • Double-Doubles: In The Cut December 4, 2009
    The second, and later film from Jane Campion, In The Cut is not quite as “critically acclaimed,” as they say, but it should be. At least, it should be given more credit cinematically, since Campion perfects her already solid technique and creates a really impressive narrative, rich and cohesive, with elements swirling around in [...]

  • Fetish Objet Petit A: The Piano December 3, 2009
    Two from Jane Campion, in order from older to not-as-old. The Piano is one of those films that peppers syllabi throughout film studies courses, functioning as it does as a textbook case of numerous cinematic motifs and psychoanalytic themes. As a plus, it’s a somewhat “feminist” film, in the vein of a Mildred Pierce or [...]

  • The Other “Twilight” November 27, 2009
    The second, and decidedly superior product, from Robert Benton last weekend. In the recent Feast of Love, Benton traded in the solid, veteran cast from his previous film Twilight for a set of young and sexy pawns to cater to navel-gazing empty-headed philosophes. This film, however, takes major advantage of its L.A. setting, incorporating the [...]

  • I’m Stuffed: Feast of Love November 25, 2009
    Wasn’t planning on posting this now, but an historic moment has arrived: my first blog post while airborne, thanks the the good people at Google and Virgin America. Too bad the movie sucks. Two from Robert Benton, two days in a row, starting with the more recent of the two: Feast of Love. A weird film; [...]
