Did You Hear About The Morgans?
On June - 3 - 2010
Lets be brutally honest, Hugh Grant isn’t a good actor. You know exactly what you’re going to get; Hugh Grant playing Hugh Grant in different locations. Not that that’s always a bad thing. Then you’ve got Sarah Jessica Parker who really isn’t much above the levels of Grant. Throw in Sam Elliott and Mary Steenburgen who despite not getting paid nearly as much as Grant and Parker, manage to steal the show, even if their on screen marriage is firmly rooted in predictabilityland. Cheesey predictable American mumbo-jumble.
Ah, the story line you ask – Two successful New Yorkers (everyone in real life lives in New York and is successful) Paul and Meryl have moved away from each other and about to finalise things with a divorce, when they decide to have one last dinner together. On the way home, they witness the murder of an international arms dealer and have to be put into protective custardy together, in the rural bareness of Wyoming. Cue predictable plot and cheesy humour with saccharine sweet wrap up at the end. Read the rest of this entry »

Tyson
On May - 19 - 2009
Mike Tyson’s early record was extraordinary. At 20 in 1985 he was heavyweight champion of the world, a feared, worshipped, highly profitable icon of pugilistic brutality and speed. His fall from the throne was spectacular. A rape conviction in 1992 saw him serve three years in prison. On release his vicious comeback match with Evander Holyfield cemented his disgrace. Utilising fight clips, archival news and blazingly frank new interviews with Tyson himself, director James Toback throws new light on his successes and excesses and his current bid to find something resembling inner peace. — BG
“Tyson is a documentary… but it is a heart song, too, as Tyson talks about a life of near constant abuse and humiliation. And as he talks, so his innate violence becomes clearer. Tyson is not an apology or an apologia, but a piercing insight into how our society creates its villains and then despises them for behaving badly. Whatever you think of Mike Tyson now… we guarantee your mind will be changed.” — David Thomson, San Francisco Film Festival.
The Baader Meinhof Complex
On May - 19 - 2009
The Baader Meinhof Complex is the major German film of the year. A bold mixture of action thriller and historical reconstruction, it traces the lifespan of the violent terrorist group that called itself the Red Army Faction and from 1968 into the 90s repeatedly attacked the German establishment. Disaffected children of the post-Nazi generation, they saw the US actions in Vietnam, the Middle East and the Third World as a new fascism. Their targets were big business and the pro-government media, and their spectacular tactics established a large fan base among the young, radical left. The film is based on the highly regarded book by the investigative reporter Stefan Aust, who from his student days knew many of the people involved. Moritz Bleibtreu as the charismatic, possibly psychopathic Andreas Baader and Martina Gedeck as theorist and writer Ulrike Meinhof lead an exceptional cast of young actors iconic status among young Germans today evokes the outlaw glamour of the Red Army Faction’s star performers then. Bruno Ganz is reliably strong as the head of police with the wherewithal to bring the Faction to justice. While never stinting on adrenaline thrills, director Uli Edel remains coolly observant of the contradictions inherent in the mix of idealism, frustration and personal grievance that drove the group to murder their fellow citizens in the name of democracy and justice. — BG
“A powerful movie… The Baader Meinhof Complex brings back the terrible events in the Germany of the 1960s and 1970s in a manner that clears and focuses the mind.” — Philip French, The Observer.
