Elegy

28 Nov

Kingsley charges into his role like a lion, showing David’s brashness in preying on the young girls he so dearly missed out on during his married youth, but he also brings regret, vulnerability, and cluelessness to David that make him worthy of sympathy.

Penelope Cruz couldn’t be better as his above-age Lolita, bringing a soft-spoken sexiness and warmth to a woman trying mightily to disarm a man primarily drawn to women as play things.

Where has Dennis Hopper been? This is one of his best performances in a long time, playing a man whose gone through the wringer a couple times with relationships himself who now offers up his own wisdom, coupled with some comic relief as well.

Driven by Isabel Coixet’s visually assured and deeply observant direction, ELEGY charts the passionate relationship between a celebrated college professor and a young woman whose beauty both ravishes and destabilizes him.

enjoy! ;) magic

Kit Kittredge: An American Girl

28 Nov

This film moves at a fast enough pace to keep all ages happy.

It reveals the era of the Depression with total respect for the people of the era.

The film takes the high road in which moral decisions are clearly understood.

There is also a mystery and it is interesting.

All the acting is fine and there are a great variety of actors of all ages.

This film reminds me that movies are not suppose to be aimed at one particular age group in order to improve ticket sales.

This is just a good old fashioned movie.

10 year old Kit lives in a boarding house her parents own in Cincinnati, Ohio. She has a passion for writing, & dreams of having something of hers put in the local paper someday.

K.Y.E.: Kill Your Enemy

28 Nov

3 young men from Detroit’s East Side have signed a deal with a cable show in which they allow themselves to be filmed throughout their last day of freedom before getting locked up for their crimes.

They use the remaining 24 hours to clear up unfinished business and a final settling of old scores.

Once they begin doing exactly that, they find out that it’s a lot harder than they bargained for.

It turns out that these dudes aren’t quite the gangster badasses they proclaim themselves to be.

This mockumentary-style movie profiles three characters who are given a series of rules to follow as they attempt to murder their enemies and catch the act on camera.

enjoy! ;) magic

Space Chimps

28 Nov

Every scene was so rushed that the characters and their dynamics with each other lacked any real development, and every attempt at making the audience feel what was going on in the moment (or even caring at all) was murdered by this fact.

Obviously, I don’t need to say much more about the writing quality than I already have; it was just lazy, lazy, lazy.

Ham III, the grandson of the first chimp astronaut, is blasted off into space by an opportunity-seeking senator.

Soon, the fun-loving chimp has to get serious about the mission at hand: Rid a far-away planet of their nefarious leader.

have fun! ;) magic

Christmas in Wonderland

28 Nov

I haven’t seen this, so personally can’t comment on it.

It’s turning out to be a pretty rotten Christmas for the Saunders family.

Having just moved to a new city from Los Angeles, they have no friends, no money and, with the exception of the bright-eyed Mary, no Christmas spirit.

To make matters worse, their mother is stuck in L.A., stranded by airline overbookings.

The Mist

28 Nov

http://www.imageflux.net/uploads/851327perv.png

Let me take a breath… Never have I had such a visceral physical reaction to a film… ever.

In the last fifteen minutes I was nearly physically paralyzed, and then started shaking, realizing how numb my body was… and I am dead serious.

Frank Darabont’s adaptation of Stephen King’s novella goes heads above a 50s/60s monster movie homage.

This is grade “A” chilling, terrifying, unsettling and utterly hopeless cinema in line with the most cynical and depressing classics from the 70s.

The Mist itself and the monsters it brings are just the appetizer here. ;)

Following a violent thunderstorm, artist David Drayton and a small town community come under vicious attack from creatures prowling in a thick and unnatural mist.

Local rumors point to an experiment called the ‘The Arrowhead Project’ conducted at a nearby top-secret military base, but questions as to the origins of the deadly vapor are secondary to the group’s overall chances for survival.

have fun! ;) magic

Mirrors

27 Nov

This is a new horror it is totally magic, the direction of some scenes involving long dark corridors, doors slamming shut with pretty neat sound effects mixed with music all blends in.

One of the best horrors to be released so far! :)

Kiefier Sutherland is a ex NY cop battling sinister forces in mirrors that endanger both him and his family.

The movie opens with a terrified night watchman running for his life.

From what, we don’t know, until he begs forgiveness from a mirror for trying to escape.

The mirror cracks angrily in response . . .

enjoy! ;) magic

Ten Empty

26 Nov

Although its not anything totally unique in terms of structure, it is in a way fresh in the subject matter and execution.

Eliot (Daniel Fredricksen) returns to his small town home for his father’s new son’s baptism.

He’s moved away to Sydney, become a success in the luxury pen making business (made from the material of Porches no less) and distanced himself from his families lifestyle and past.

Although he is the lead in the film, the picture does not make him any kind of hero per-say.

When his father offers him a beer, he remarks that he only drinks red wine.

He wears fancy clothes to everyone else’s old t-shirts.

He is something of a quiet snob. ;)

Elliot’s father Ross Marries Jane’s sister, Diane, and together they have borne a child, Cooper, to whom Elliot is to be godfather.

Diane loves Ross, but Ross is not the man he used to be.

Deeply scarred by the loss of his wife, he pushes Diane away.
