Fast & Furious 6

Thu, 23 May 2013 19:21:34 PDT

Highly Recommended

When The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift was released in 2006, it looked like a small finish for the franchise. Instead of Vin Diesel and Paul Walker as leads, Drift offered Lucas Black as a brand new character, with Bow Wow as his sidekick, and the film arrived dead last in box office receipts. Surprisingly, it turned out to be a new beginning, introducing director Justin Lin to the franchise. Lin took his eye for multiculturalism and combined it with a shift from street racing to a full range of car action, culminating with the infectiously entertaining Fast Five, an Ocean's-style heist movie with the original cast back in the driver's seats and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson riding shotgun as gigantic federal agent Hobbs.

Now, Lin is signing off with Furious 6 (the on-screen title), a massive blast of action delirium that indulges in all the series' goofie...Read the entire review

How many film franchises got the chance to reach six entries? How many of them are any good? Not very many. Each one is usually worse than the last, but a series will occasionally surprise its viewers by improving. The Fast and the Furious has drawn in audiences with its fast cars, attractive actors, and high octane action. Moviegoers know what to expect when they see one of these flicks. The fate of these movies didn't look too bright, but then Fast Five happened in 2011. It was my personal favorite of the series, as it went beyond my expectations. Universal Pictures inevitably green-lit Fast & Furious 6 after the previous entry's substantial success. Will it be able to entertain and thrill audiences in the same fashion? For the most part, yes.

There's another animation studio on the rise that is attempting to stand on the same level as Pixar Animation and DreamWorks. This company is called Blue Sky Studios, which presented us with Rio back in 2011. While a studio's animation is crucial for this type of film, the narrative and its characters are always more important than its visuals. These family features have numerous entries that have touched the hearts of children and adults around the world, but due to the pictures' animation. The most enchanting element is the plot and the infectious characters who are able to draw us in. When a film such as this focuses on its animation over its story, it often feels hollow. This is the case with Chris Wedge's Epic.

Frances Ha

Thu, 23 May 2013 19:16:16 PDT

Highly Recommended

The true achievement of Noah Baumbach's Frances Ha is how effortlessly it captures the inconsistencies of youth without being overly precious or dishonest. Sure, Frances can be quirky, and she's selfish, but she's also lonely and a bit lost and, though lacking in essential self-awareness, desperately confused by the ups and downs of her own existential crisis. Frances Ha is a movie about a young woman getting her life together, even when she doesn't realize that's what's happening.

Greta Gerwig (Damsels in Distress) stars as Frances, a 27-year-old dancer living in New York City. Frances is a third-stringer at her dance company, always on the sidelines, the understudy to the understudy...Read the entire review

The comedy genre can be quite difficult to execute. It takes a large amount of talent, as well as a lot of luck that it will connect with audiences. The Hangover had entire theaters of moviegoers laughing out loud throughout the feature's running time back in 2009. In 2011, The Hangover Part II received a lot of poor feedback from critics and viewers, yet it did extremely well at the box office. Fast forward to 2013, and the Wolfpack has returned for The Hangover Part III. Some will be sad that the trilogy marks the end of the series, while others will be jumping for joy that it's finally over. I found the first film to be absolutely hilarious, but it never needed any sequels. Follow-ups can be extremely difficult when it comes to this genre, but it makes...Read the entire review

When Star Trek first came out in 2009 I didn't think I would like it. As a fan of the original films, I was a little put off by a the young cast of Hollywood newcomers attempting to represent the characters I had come to love. I mean, come on, Harold as Sulu? I wasn't buying it and I wasn't planning on watching it. But I ended up seeing it, and sometimes it's nice when you're completely wrong. It was much more of an homage than a ripoff, a origin story rather than a remake, and it actually came across as more than an attempt to make money. I mean, it made money, but you could tell by watching it that these actors and Abrams all liked Star...Read the entire review

Some of the most enthralling films are those that capture humanity. Certain experiences have the power to change our psychological state and transform us for the better. Life isn't easy, as it continually attempts to knock us down and keep us there. However, we have to fight for what we want and for who we love. Movies that explore such themes make for a more genuine experience. We can all relate in one way or another to a person who is down on their luck. It's all about how we handle being in such a situation that shapes who we truly are. Frances Ha introduces its take on this idea with its main character. By the time the credits are rolling, you will be left with a smile that won't immediately be wiped off your face.

The Iceman

Thu, 16 May 2013 06:50:09 PDT

Recommended

Richard Kuklinski was a real-life mob hitman whose career spanned across three decades. He killed more than 100 people before he was finally brought to justice in 1986. He was referred to as "the Iceman," not because he was so cold-blooded, but because he would freeze the bodies of his victims and keep them under wraps for extended periods of time so that their time of death would be harder to pin down.

The new movie The Iceman is based on a non-fiction book by crime writer Anthony Bruno, who profiled Kuklinski in 1993. Twenty years later, Ariel Vroman's film version takes what one assumes is a less exacting approach, dramatizing the career of the notorious killer as a combination of historical biopic and gangster hagiography.

I was very surprised when The Great Gatsby got such terrible reviews. It had just been out for a couple days and already it was getting slammed by audiences and critics alike. I just couldn't believe it; wasn't this the same film who's trailer had me and everyone I knew wanting to rush to the theatre that day? What could be so awful that it would get such bad critique across the board? I assumed it wasn't Baz Luhrmann's style, because people would be expecting that.

The year 2013 marks four years since director J.J. Abrams released his first Star Trek motion picture. It received tremendous critical and audience responses. I'm not a Trekkie and I found the 2009 entry to be outstanding, which truly speaks to the talent that was on board. It was bold, fresh, and highly exhilarating. Summer blockbusters aren't always able to arise such reactions out of me. Moviegoers around the world have been highly anticipating Star Trek Into Darkness, especially with the massive marketing campaign that continues to remind us of the picture's approaching release date. Now that it is finally here, there's one question that continues to be relevant. Is it able to stand as tall as J.J. Abrams' first outing in this fantastical universe?

The Movie:

The following conversation happened before I went to sleep last night:

My wife: "Don't dream about Matthew McConaughey while you sleep."

Me: "Why would I?"

My wife: "I don't know, I just feel like everyone dreams about Matthew McConaughey when they sleep."

I remain curious as to what would spur a mini-discussion like this on. Maybe she thinks Matthew McConaughey is a guy that men want to be like and women want to be with, or perhaps McConaughey has been recently doing a good job in selecting roles which are different stretches of his ability, with a box office smash perhaps sprinkled in for good measure. His latest film Mud is another intriguing choice of roles for the actor.

The film is written and directed by Jeff Nichols, his follow-up to a breakout work of sorts from Read the entire review

Aftershock (2013)

Eli Roth has worked with numerous titles in the horror genre. While he hasn't directed any pictures in a while, Roth has been incredibly active in the film industry. However, he has primarily been involved in independent features, which is the case with his newest horror/thriller called Aftershock. You'll find his name in the credits three times as a co-writer, cast member, and a producer. Roth was highly involved in the picture's production, but it wasn't enough to make this a worthy horror/thriller. It's meant to play off of our fears of natural disasters and human nature, although it's never scary. After premiering for film festival moviegoers, Dimension Films acquired the rights for distribution in the United States. Aftershock had potential, but it left me d...Read the entire review

After seeing the atmospheric Kill List, I have been incredibly intrigued by writer/director Ben Wheatley's work. This British filmmaker impressed moviegoers around the world with his sophomore effort. Wheatley was successful with his horror/thriller, which could have easily resulted in him making similar flicks. Fortunately, this isn't the case. His third film Sightseers can be described as a dark comedy. This genre change is a bold decision, since it will likely attract a different target audience. It's always a nice surprise when a filmmaker can work within the confines of a variety of genres. This type of humor won't be a hit with all viewers, but it's worth watching in order to find out.

Author F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote The Great Gatsby, which was published in 1925. This novel is claimed to be a great piece of American literature, as it's being assigned in schools across the country. It has been a few years since I have read it, but I remember how the narrative plays out. Given the source material, audiences will undeniably hold extremely high expectations. I went into this picture wanting to give it the chance it deserves. Unfortunately, Baz Luhrmann's involvement as the writer/director had me worried. This motion picture could have been a lot better under another filmmaker's control. While his musical Moulin Rouge! received an Oscar nomination for Best Picture, his signature simply doesn't appear to fit this feature's tone. However, his eye fo...Read the entire review

I remember joking in high school about organizing an anarchy club, because of course the last thing anarchists should be doing is organizing. I am sure every teen who gets into punk rock and philosophy stumbles upon a similar gag. I bet you Ben Wheatley would find it hilarious.

Wheatley is the British director responsible for Down Terrace and Kill List. His most current offering, Sightseers, makes pretensions of chaos. It's a black comedy about a vacationing couple whose holiday on the road turns into a killing spree. For Chris (Steve Oram) it begins accidentally (perhaps), but once the impulse is indulged, he keeps indulging it, murdering people who offend his delicate sensibilities in some ma...Read the entire review

There is a popular blog called "Dogshaming" where pet owners send in photos of misbehaving canines posing in a humorous semblance of guilt. If they had a picture of a dog who ate a birthday cake and all the wrapping off the presents and vomited both up in a colorful pile of frosting, confetti, and stomach acid, I would simply post that image here and let it stand as my review of Baz Luhrmann's embarrassing adaptation of The Great Gatsby. As no such photo exists, I am instead charged with reliving the shtick and the spectacle of a once-visionary director dismantling one of the greatest achievements of American literature.

Writer/director Adam Leon makes a splash with his debut, Gimme the Loot, a verit drama about two young graffiti artists in New York City trying to raise the cash to pull off the tagger equivalent of a big score. Scribble partners Sofia (Tashiana Washington) and Malcolm (Ty Hickson) are tired of small-time spray-paint squabbles and so set their sights on the ultimate location to scrawl their handles: the big apple that pops up whenever one of the New York Mets hits a home run. The only problem is, they need tools and access, neither of which will come cheap.

What Maisie Knew

Highly Recommended

We see custody battles on TV, in movies, and some experience it in real life. These stories are generally told in movies from the perspective of either the mother or the father; it's rarely told from the child's point-of-view. Scott McGehee and David Siegel's What Maisie Knew is an independent drama, which explores the mind of a child through a custody battle. Countless parents fight in front of their children, but kids understand more than what most parents give them credit for. While the film is from Maisie's perspective, there isn't any narration. The audience is never told exactly what this young girl is thinking about, which actually benefits the narrative and the emotional impact. Unlike countless dramas, What Maisie Knew delivers a fervent effect, which be...Read the entire review

Marvel Studios has been releasing one superhero hit after another. With summer approaching, the blockbuster features are getting ready to commence. After the insanely successful The Avengers, Marvel was hoping to continue Tony Stark's story after New York's alien invasion. Iron Man 3 has employed writer/director Shane Black, along with writer Drew Pearce. Neither of them have worked on either of the previous entries, which allows for new ideas to be introduced. Some audiences will find this to be exactly what the trilogy needs, since Iron Man 2 split viewers down the middle. While some viewers found it to an excellent superhero flick, others thought it was an absolute mess. I found it to be a letdown, especially compared to the first film in the trilogy.

Well-respected British filmmaker Ken Loach (Kes) returns to Scotland for his latest feature, The Angels' Share, a sublime and genuinely heartwarming drama about a quartet of criminal misfits who make an appeal to whatever heaven they believe in to change their lives.

In the summer of 1994, two Miami bodybuilders whose lives were stalling hit on the perfect plan: kidnap a particularly unlikable member of their gym and torture him until he gives them everything he's got -- just over a million bucks -- then kill him before anyone finds out. They enlist the help of a third guy, a drug addict who found Jesus in jail, and set about their plan, which goes fairly wrong when the victim figures out who his kidnappers are and then they fail to kill him. The victim's intensely unlikable personality and the ludicrousness of his story prompts the cops to drop the case, but one "successful" kidnapping quickly turns into a crime spree that leaves several people dead.

The crimes of Daniel Lugo, Adrian Doorbal, and John Carl Mese are genuinely horrifying, the kind of material that one expects to see discussed discreetly in a TV documentary, and to an extent, it's a little disturbi...Read the entire review

Graceland

Cinema isn't always meant to simply entertain its audiences, but sometimes it asks a series of questions for us to consider. Depending upon how you answer these inquiries, it will affect your moviegoing experience accordingly. Ron Morales' Graceland asks us to put ourselves in the main character's position. What would you do if you were in this situation? How would you behave under such terrible circumstances? When a filmmaker successfully places viewers in this position, it can create a substantial amount of tension that wouldn't be there otherwise. This technique of storytelling allows the "protagonist" and the audience to become one through the film's duration. However, this comes across as being only one of the three perspectives in this picture. The other two don't...Read the entire review

Since 2007, director Michael Bay has been focusing on the Transformers franchise. Robot battles fit into his skill-set very well, as this filmmaker isn't necessarily known for his storytelling skills. In fact, he draws a lot of audiences to the movie theater with his over-the-top visual style. Each of Bay's motion pictures are filled to the brim with explosions and CG-work. He manages to make his action flicks look phenomenal, but they lack in the substance department. These movies are generally known to be summer blockbusters, which can easily be classified as popcorn flicks. After spending so much time with this franchise, almost any director would want to make another feature with an original concept.

Many are going to be quick to compare this to Joseph Kosinski's previous effort, and words to follow probably wouldn't be very kind. That being said, I actually enjoyed Tron: Legacy for what it was - a gorgeous ride on the back of popcorn fun (even though its narrative was devastatingly flawed) - so I was curious to see what the director would drum up with Oblivion. Well, if there's a single word I'd use to describe this film, it's 'ambitious'. From a marketing standpoint, it's the first science fiction film to break through the gates of summer, and Universal Studios is undoubtedly hoping to avoid competition from the likes of Star Trek, After Earth and Pacific Rim.

Joseph Kosinski's TRON: Legacy reintroduced us to the world of the Programs in 2010. Fast forward three years, and you'll find this writer/director returning to the science fiction genre. His interest in this type of filmmaking is clear, but Kosinski has yet to entirely impress me. I found TRON: Legacy to be entertaining, but I have been curious to see him direct an idea of his own. While Oblivion doesn't necessarily exist as a graphic novel, Radical Publishing has illustrations that created the initial concept. The graphic novel's artist started drawing it, but quickly began developing concept art for the film. This might not be Kosinski's first original picture, but it still offers an enjoyable story, even though he takes material from multiple sci-fi fl...Read the entire review

I never thought a movie could replicate the experience of being on an internet message board, but the documentary Room 237 essentially does just that. Filmmaker Rodney Ascher has gathered together a handful of crackpot obsessives who have spent way too much time thinking about Stanley Kubrick's 1980 horror film The Shining and basically gives them a space to share their opinions and observations unchallenged, creating a kind of crazy five-way dialogue that spans whatever cultural and geographical boundaries that might otherwise separate them.

Any initial visit with a Terrence Malick film is merely a series of first impressions. As the sculptor molds his clay, we can only try to keep our minds fresh to see what each new wrinkle will reveal or what the next push of the thumb will cover up. Prone to endless zooms and pirouettes, Malick's camera circles his characters, building patterns and shapes, until themes emerge and a foundational narrative takes shape. His movies may appear to be all gloss and undercoating, but that's misleading. Text and subtext are inseparable. Terence Malick feels aesthetically.

And so it is with To the Wonder. Only Malick's sixth film in forty years, it is as mired in the auteur's personal style as all of his features, and yet it is free of the usual nostalgia. It's his first ...Read the entire review

When it comes to making a film about sports, it can go one of two ways. The narrative could either focus on the game, or it could simply use the sport as a backdrop for a deeper story. Depending upon which path a filmmaker wishes to embark on, the target audience might be a little bit different. I don't usually find myself enthralled by all-out sports flicks, but 42 explores a lot more than the game of baseball. It follows a true legend, who will always be seen as being much bigger than a bat-and-ball player. His strength changed countless people around the world.

I think it was William Carlos Williams who wrote, "So much depends on a woman's pubic hair, glazed and freshly shaved." I don't know why they don't quote him on the poster for Trance. It does, after all, contain what may be cinema's most audacious plot contrivance for getting an actress to go full frontal. Danny Boyle, ladies and gentlemen, fresh from tossing the Queen of England out of a helicopter for the Olympics, has now tossed Rosario Dawson's modesty into the same deep ocean where he hopes the rest of us have buried our intelligence.

The big tradeoff is that the budget is considerably lower, which can make it difficult for a director to entirely execute their vision. Writer/director Rob Zombie is known for splitting audiences, which has ultimately led him to obtain a cult following. He creates the movies he wants to make, which I truly respect.

To celebrate the film's 20th anniversary, Universal is releasing Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park back in theaters, converted to 3D (standard and IMAX formats). Adapted from Michael Crichton's hugely popular best-selling novel of the same name, the film represented a major breakthrough in CG technology, and spawned one of the most popular film franchises of all time, which is kind of interesting when one stops to consider that very few people seem to think the sequels are any good (a fourth film, to be directed by Safety Not Guaranteed helmer Colin Trevorrow, is slated to be released in 2014).
