I really did want to give this a chance and for about the first 15 or 20 minutes although I didn't think it was great, I thought it was ok and moving in an interesting direction. Unfortunately it really fell apart as it got further along. The style of the film actually reminded me of the controversial movie Kids by director Larry Clarke, which although it was more about teen sex than violence and was considered exploitative, really got the point of the nothing to lose, dead end lives of it's characters than this film managed to

This year, the nominees run the gamut from new series, like Mr. Robot and Casual, to familiar faces, like Game of Thrones and Orange is the New Black . What makes the 73rd Annual Golden Globe Awards so interesting (and all Golden Globe ceremonies, really) are the kinds of shows and performances that have been nominated. Everything from critical darlings like Transparent and Veep are represented along with surprising (and surprisingly welcome) additions like Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Mozart in the Jun

In the absence of Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson has stood up and taken hold of the series to legitimize it beyond it's love of excess and spectacle. She has been afforded a slightly different character to the one she usually plays in Ryan Murphy's aging series and the result is a commanding performance that deserves to be singled

There is no sense of self-awareness of heroism however, only a feeling that she is doing what she can because she can. She is an amazing woman, doing what she knows to be right despite many assasination attempts on her life and the constant threat of de

In short, Inception took home the technical categories, The Social Network took a few, notably for its score and The King's Speech was the big winner, coming in with 12 nominations and walking out with four big wins, including best pict

Weapons was the first film I saw at Sundance that had an "indie" feel to it - grainy film, hand held camera, and wierd things that I guess were supposed to be "artistic" but fell flat. For one thing Lough did the old "watch events from different points of view" thing, but all that did was make me feel like I had to sit through a bad Film Festival Themed Game Walkthrough|Https://Moviefestivalhub.Com/ three times instead of just one. Then he had this habit of holding a shot on a face or scene where nothing was happening WAY too long. It almost felt as if in a few scenes he just forgot to say "cut!" Finally, in the middle of the film he inserted this weird, freeze frame montage of the main and supporting charact

Melanie Lynskey is one of the best things about HBO's sharp, funny low-stakes comedy Togetherness . Her role as the increasingly dissatisfied Michelle is affecting without being maudlin or dipping into mawkishness. As an actress, Lynskey is a lot like King: the product is simply going to be better just by her being in

Sabrina says that Jason is the one who did it to her and that is Reggie's target. He and his friends go find Mikey's uncle who has apparently smoked one too many joints and is very strange. Despite this he tries to talk them out of what they're going to do and they respond by beating the heck out of

Regardless of which side you are on in regards to the current war, you will be entranced by Enemies of Happiness . It is an important film which humanizes the people of Afghanistan by showing the daily struggles of everday people and how the lingering ways of the previous regime still hover over their li

You can look at Towelhead from a couple of different angles, but as the parent of an 11 year old daughter, I look at it as a cautionary tale of exposing kids to sexual images too early, and not being a father that they can turn to for advice and comfort instead of whatever guys is availa

It's a sure sign that there's too much good television when a series as terrific as Wolf Hall basically goes unnoticed come awards season. The historical miniseries starring Mark Rylance and Damian Lewis was impeccably made and filled top to bottom with thoughtful, passionate performances. If the series is going to pull off the upset, it might do it h

Nothing against Narcos or Outlander , both are fine shows, but perennially overlooked The Americans is consistently a marvel to watch for its phenomenal performances across-the-board as well as its fantastic writing and consistently wonderful direction. Mad Men , on the other hand, turned in seven outstanding episodes for its final season that summed up what was so great about the show to begin with. Both should have been h

Eventually he violates her, with her at first going along but then being physically hurt by him. She is confused and doesn't know what to do with her feelings, both physical and emotional, and she cannot turn to her cold father for comfort or adv
