| Twitchvision: Talking PARKER, HANSEL & GRETEL, JJ and ARGO Posted: 27 Jan 2013 06:00 PM PST  In this week's episode of Twitchvision, I chatted with Scott Laurie about the abysmal Parker, the only slightly less abysmal Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, the "nerdgasm" felt by some when J.J. was announced as director of Episode 7, and yet more talk about Argo and how it keeps seeing success, even if an Oscar win seems a mighty longshot.Click image below to launch player...

| Sundance 2013 Review: BEFORE MIDNIGHT is Joy Revisited Posted: 27 Jan 2013 03:19 PM PST  Not every movie needs its audience to know nothing about the plot or story going in. We live in a world of trailers and twitter and even spoilers from Lego toys. But the plain fact is, you will enjoy the third installment of Richard Linklater's 'Before...' series, Before Midnight, more if you know nothing. The knowledge that nine years have passed in the lives of Ethan Hawke's Jesse and Julie Delpy's Celine is all you need. Therefore, many of the details revealed here, while not spoilers in the traditional review context, could lessen the wonderful revelatory impact the film delivers. Consider yourself warned. Before Midnight opens as Jesse says goodbye to his 14-year-old son Hank at a Greek regional airport. It doesn't take long... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |

| Full Disclosure: Twitch's Lists of Shame - January (Part 2) Posted: 27 Jan 2013 10:00 AM PST  January's List of Shame entries continue on apace.You can find the first part of this month's list here, and the project's formal introduction right here.Easy Rider (dir. Dennis Hopper, 1969, USA)Winner of "Best First Work" at Cannes Film Festival, nominated for 2 Academy AwardsBrian Clark, European EditorI've long been aware of Easy Rider's place in the cannon of American cinema, how it captured the cultural shift at the end of the 60s, played a key role in ushering in the "New Hollywood" movement, and, if you want to get cynical, proved the counter-culture to be a viable movie market. These are all things mentioned when people talk about Easy Rider, but in my experience, they say very little about the film itself. Now that I've finally...

| Full Disclosure: Twitch's Lists of Shame - January (Part 1) Posted: 27 Jan 2013 08:00 AM PST And so it begins...While there are certainly wrong ways to approach this feature - either as a contributor or a reader - there are many different right ways to do so. For a full debriefing on exactly what we are setting out to accomplish with this once-a-month feature, the rules, guidelines, restrictions and the intricacies of the logistics, please take a moment to read my formal introduction here. Suffice to say that this is January, and more than 20 of my esteemed colleagues have sought out and finally laid to rest a noted classic from each of their personal Lists of Shame. Where possible, I did my best to coordinate writers to see the same film on the same month so that we can compare notes,... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
