An Appreciation – King Kong

June 26th, 2011 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

The adventure film. Of all the genres and subgenres that movies incorporate, I feel that the adventure film is the one that excites people the most. It’s the kind of movie that can bring people to the theater in droves; it touches us in a…

A Moment in Audiard’s “A Prophet” (2009)

June 23rd, 2011 | POSTED BY Mark Jones

It began, perhaps, the moment the deer flew into the air. Upon impact, when car and flesh collide, we move from within the cabin to a view outside. Shot in slow motion, the carcass rises with a lightness, unexpected because of its weight, and we’re…

Bird Watching – Julie Taymor’s “Frida”

June 20th, 2011 | POSTED BY Brandi Sperry

Like many pop culture junkies, I’ve followed the tales about the ups and (plunging) downs of the development of the Spider-Man musical on Broadway.

An Appreciation – Children of Men

June 12th, 2011 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

The beginning of Alfonso Cuaron’s great film, Children of Men (2006), is like a cinematic wake up call, slapping us right in the face to gain our attention. We see a man in a coffee shop ordering a drink. A group of people huddle together,…

What We’re Watching – 6/8/11

June 8th, 2011 | POSTED BY John Portanova

Lately I’ve been trying to make sure I’m caught up on the big films of 2011. That means for this week’s column you’ll see an abundance of summer sequels. Some of these enhanced characters we had met before now continue their stories in new and…
