Not just the raw materials from which we might puzzle one out

"Maybe we can express ourselves best if we say it without words." — Anjelica Huston in Wes Anderson's "The Darjeeling Limited" (2007) It is obvious a movie is not a book or a song or a poem. A movie is a play of light and sound, with a temporal dimension. It happens in front of us; its pictures are tangible and proffered, rather than inwardly created. While movie-watchers collaborate with the filmmakers to some extent — the final film is still the one that plays in the backs of our minds rather than in front of our eyes — a director presents us with a manifested vision, a built world, not just the raw materials from which we might puzzle one out. We know what the worms and orinthopters look like in Denis Villeneuve's "Dune" because we have seen them, not just read their descriptions. This is a powerful advantage of film, one that even Tolstoy thought might obsolete the novel. A filmmaker shows us what writers can only tell us. And these images move

Bloodsoaked nightmare in Ti West’s X, a new slasher flick from A24

 Add two more X’s to this movie’s title, and you would be watching the exact type of movie the characters in this film are making. A porno movie shoot becomes a bloodsoaked nightmare in Ti West’s X, a new slasher flick from A24. The film opens with a detective investigating an empty house. The floors are stained in blood, and we then cut back to 24 hours earlier in a classic case of a film opening with the ending scene. This sets the stage for an original, entertaining throwback slasher right out of the ’70s and ’80s with a dark and humorous twist. When a slasher movie is done right, it can be an incredible combination of fun and disturbing. In 2022 alone, we have already gotten slashers such as Scream and Texas Chainsaw Massacre as Hollywood has attempted to relaunch classic franchises. But an original slasher has arrived on our doorsteps, and it is pretty enjoyable. Moreover, it’s a surprisingly unique take on a genre that hinges on all of its movies having similar premises. The thin

Crisis using movie stars and furious monologues

 It takes a certain kind of touch, a populist brilliance, to know that “Milk was a bad choice” could help launch a comedy empire. Adam McKay had that when he scoured through the many improvised lines of “Anchorman,” and co-created what will probably be known as the last movement of American blockbuster comedy. And he continued that touch with the unmitigated triumph “The Big Short,” venturing to educate moviegoers about the housing crisis using movie stars and furious monologues. But McKay is mightily thwarted by the larger scope of “Don’t Look Up,” a hybrid of his comedic and dramatic instincts that only dreams of being insightful about social media, technology, global warming, celebrity, and in general, human existence. A disastrous movie, “Don’t Look Up” shows McKay as the most out of touch he’s ever been with what is clever, or how to get his audience to care.  If “Don’t Look Up” deserves any award, it’s for the work of its casting director, Francine Maisler. This Netflix movie is

Part of a young, hungry generation of horror auteurs weaned

 Bloody. Brutal. Grungier than a big-city back alley and more guts-strewn than a slaughterhouse. This is how you like your slasher-flick horror, and trust is when we say Ti West has your back. Part of a young, hungry generation of horror auteurs weaned on the grindhouse canon, he’s dabbled in a number of dark, dingy subgenres, from quick ‘n’ dirty sequels (Cabin Fever 2) to the slow-burn supernatural (The Innkeepers) to neo-Seventiesploitation (the cult thriller The Sacrament). But go back to his best-in-show entry from 2009, The House of the Devil, and you’ll see he has a knack for paying homage to old staples of disreputable cinema without simply plagiarizing them. Part pomo final-girl scares and part vintage “Satanic Panic” nightmare, the movie proved you could still have your Caro syrup-slathered cake and splatter it, too. West wasn’t interested in giving viewers an academic thesis on primal-screen film history so much as engaging in a conversation with it while goosing and grossin

When he throws holy water on her, she arches her back

 When a young priest performs an exorcism in the cold open of “The Exorcism of God,” there’s a fine line between pleasure and pain. Sometimes feeling like a Cliff Notes version of William Friedkin’s 1973 masterpiece, “The Exorcist,” the movie draws on the audience's foreknowledge and expectations to craft its story. In the middle of the night, Father Peter Williams (Will Beinbrink) is led to a house where a young woman, Esperanza (María Gabriela de Faría), is strapped to a bed. Drenched in sweat and dirt, the woman pulsates with chaotic sexual energy. When he throws holy water on her, she arches her back. Her physicality beckons him to sin against all judgement, against all reason. After this pivotal scene, the movie flashes forward 18 years later, and Father Peter Williams still lives in Mexico where he continues his humanitarian work. His flock considers him saintly, perhaps even magical. The Vatican treats him as a shining star, the future of the Church. He harbors a dark shadow

A Lot Of Hooey That is Purely Fiction Without ANY Real-Life Implications

It’s not often that a movie like this, with Ryan Reynolds, comes around, right? A lot of people have seen Reynolds as the bad boy thanks to movies like Van Wilder and Deadpool, and they’re not wrong, since he hasn’t been the biggest presence in family movies apart from a couple of voice roles that have been enjoyable and appreciated. The Adam Project feels like a step above a family movie, but not a big one since the level of violence is still a bit cartoonish, even though the choreography during the fight scenes is easy to get into since the weapons that are used are kind of fun. The whole idea is one that a lot of people might debate when it comes to time travel considering that ever since Avengers: Endgame came along, a lot of people have been wondering if everything they’ve seen since Back to the Future is realistic or not, or if the idea of time travel in the movies is simply a lot of hooey that is purely fiction without ANY real-life implications. Yes, it’s still a debate that pe

We are featuring their articles and reviews all week

Donning The Cape And Cowl is George Clooney

 Batman is the gift that keeps on giving, and ever since Tim Burton’s Batman (1989), the only notable hiatus for the caped crusader was the eight-year gap between the franchise-killer Batman and Robin (1997) and Christopher Nolan’s trilogy-opening reboot Batman Begins (2005). Since Adam West’s theatrical outing, we’ve had 12 movies that have featured Batman (we’re not counting 2016’s Suicide Squad, in which Ben Affleck’s Batman only appears for a few minutes, nor are we including 2019’s masterpiece, Joker, which includes a young Bruce Wayne). Spanning those 12 movies are seven actors who have portrayed Bruce Wayne and his crime-fighting alias, Batman — Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, and now, Robert Pattinson. You might be surprised, though, to learn that there were two live actors who donned the cape and cowl even before the late Adam West did back in the ’60s (Lewis Wilson and Robert Lowery)! However, we’re only including every Batm

“The Lost City” Makes For Welcome Counter-Programming

 You know studio movies are in a rut when, amid endless Spider-Bat sequels, you find yourself longing for the likes of such escapist 1980s offerings as “Romancing the Stone” and “King Solomon’s Mines.” I can’t be the only one who’s been craving a good old-fashioned treasure hunt, where the leads throw sparks and the ladies’ makeup never smudges, no matter how close to the volcano they get. After a long stretch without such a big-screen Hollywood adventure movie (at least, not one without ties to a video game or theme park ride), “The Lost City” makes for welcome counter-programming. The story was producer Seth Gordon’s idea, but credit siblings Adam and Aaron Nee (who tested the waters with their Mark Twain-inspired “Band of Robbers”) for sprucing up the formula, while Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum supply the chemistry. Bullock plays brainy romance novelist Loretta Sage, who’s lost her inspiration since the death of her husband, an archaeologist who might have been onto something.

Service Gives Him Structure, Purpose, Fellowship

 If he thought about it, Briggs (Channing Tatum) might believe that the injuries from his service as an Army Ranger have taken everything he had and everything he needed. But he does not think about it. Despite his doctor’s warnings that he has some permanent impairment, he's determined to get back into the Rangers. Service gives him structure, purpose, fellowship, and enough adrenaline to not have to think about the many things he doesn't want to think about, including how much more there is still to lose.  Briggs needs sign-off from an officer to be readmitted to the Rangers, who call themselves “the Army's premier direct-action raid force.” He has been repeatedly turned down. Finally, an officer says he will authorize Briggs’ reinstatement if he will perform one task, delivering an Army dog to the funeral of a veteran who served with Briggs. The dog is Lulu, a sweet-faced Belgian Malinois who performed many brave rescue operations, but who now is so severely traumatized

Pixar is breaking its Own Mold

 At this point, the “Pixar movie” stereotype has become a meme: People go into the animation studio’s projects expecting a family-friendly story focused on nonhuman protagonists given surprising depth and powerful emotions. There are exceptions, but historically, Pixar has carved out this channel of storytelling for itself, then perfected it. But with a new wave of filmmakers stepping up, Pixar is breaking its own mold. 2021’s Luca is the perfect example, as a lower-key film built around subtle, understated interactions, instead of constructing big drama on the way to an emotionally shattering climax. Turning Red, which bypasses theaters in the U.S. for Disney Plus, continues the trend. Domee Shi, who directed Pixar’s short film Bao in 2018, creates something special with this project, a deeply personal film that speaks to universal themes. With Turning Red, Shi gleefully celebrates early adolescence, a time of life often portrayed as awkward and cringey, and she revels in extensive cu

When Seoul installed A U.S.-Made Missile Defense System

 The musical chairs of friends and foes is underway again at China’s theatrical box office The musical chairs of friends and foes is underway again at China’s theatrical box office, with South Korea seemingly back in the game while Hollywood and Bollywood could be out of luck for the foreseeable future. On Dec. 3, South Korean family comedy Oh! My Gran, produced by Seoul-based Big Stone Pictures, opened theatrically in China. The movie is the first Korean title to show on Chinese screens since 2016, when Seoul installed a U.S.-made missile defense system, known as THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense), on the Korean peninsula, infuriating Beijing leaders who viewed the installation on their doorstep as an affront to China’s regional sovereignty. Chinese regulators retaliated by blocking their massive market from all Korean film imports — a move meant to hit the country’s surging culture industry where it hurts. Oh! My Gran’s release carries more symbolic significance than it does
