Writer/Director Craig Brewer has done an amazing job with Black Snake Moan and it was a wonderful experience to see this film right after I had watched the boring and over-hyped Hounddog . The only reason I didn't give this stars is because I didn't really like the Ronnie character, played by Timberlake. I don't know if it was his performance or just the way the character was written, but he was the weak link in the film. Aside from that, the film was great fun and I loved seeing the transformation of both Rae and Lazarus as they fought with their inner demons and came to terms with themselves. Outside of that, it was excellent. The pacing of the movie kept things moving, there were no extraneous scenes that could have been left out, and the music… man oh man what great mu
About 3/4 of the way through the film I was hoping for „release“ almost as much as Nancy. I honestly don't understand how an actor can look at a script like this and not just say: „Damn, that is f'ed up!“ and just move on to the next
Several indie and lesser-known critical-darlings received little-to-no love from the Hollywood Foreign Press, including titles like The Tree of Life , Warrior , Drive , Martha Marcy May Marlene , and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy . Similarly, there were more than a few surprising snubs (no Best Director nod for David Fincher on The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo ? No Winnie the Pooh for Best Animated Feature?) and certain films fared far better than anticipated (namely, The Ides of March ). However, there were also more than a few no-brainers (ex. Meryl Streep being nominated for The Iron Lady ) and some rather unexpected choices (ex. Ryan Gosling in Crazy, Stupid, Lov
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
Downloading Nancy is a psychological drama that follows the story of Nancy Stockwell, a troubled woman who forms a complex bond with a man she meets on the internet. As their relationship deepens, Nancy's dark past and desires are revealed, leading to a downward spiral of obsession and destruct
Hounddog suffers from something I've noticed in some other indie films: It's boring and it's too long. Although it's filled with gorgeous scenery, the film just seems to go on and on and on. This was yet another hour and a half long movie that felt twice as long. The best thing about the film is Dakota Fanning's performance. She really is amazing at the range and subtlety of emotion she can convey at such a young age. I only hope that she is one of the very few child actors who survives the transition to adulthood unscat
Some interesting notes: True Grit didn't get a single award despite ten (10!) nominations; Christopher Nolan didn't receive any awards despite Inception being entirely original and praised for its design, winning 4 other awards no less; Anne Hathaway, poking fun at the Academy's attempt at appealing to a younger demographic is the presentation's youngest host ever at 28 and last but not least, 8-time Oscars host Billy Crystal made a friendly and fun appearance making some wish he was back to host ag
One night she leaves home, leaving nothing more than a note for Albert stating that she is going to stay with friends in Baltimore. Instead she heads off to meet Louis, and their initial meeting, now in the real world seems awkw
Is the director saying Lewellan was inadvertantly asking for it through her behavior? I doubt that. Is she saying Lewellen should be allowed to act seductively without fear of being attacked? I don't know. My answer is obviously that there can be no justification for taking advantage of a child, but that she should be told that certain ways of acting are inappropriate and there are people out there who will respond to that behavior without giving thought to what is right and what is wr
We're then introduced to what's going on with both Rae and Lazarus (Jackson). Ronnie is leaving Rae to go to Iraq. Once he gets back he wants to open an auto body shop and be with Rae. We meet Lazarus talking to his friend and pastor about an impending meeting where his pastor is trying to convince Lazarus to keep his cool. It turns out that Lazarus' wife is in the restaurant and is leaving him after 25 years of marriage because he makes her feel old. Presumably she's leaving him for a younger man, and yes, we do find out who. Lazarus is beside himself with the news and the fact that no reconciliation is possi
Now to some of you this may sound interesting, and I suppose it could have been, but the overall effect of this movie with it's bland, bright and washed out colors on the screen and the details of the relationships that we are subjected to is quite depressing (yes, I get it, view Moviefestivalhub.com that's the point) and to be honest left me feeling more than a bit dirty to have been witness to all this. Not „porn“ dirty, but „slimey“ dirty, like going through someones dirty laun
