  • Where the Wild Things Are (PG, 2009)

    - by timandterrybarker
    "Where the Wild Things Are" is a world where everyone is unhappy all of the time. I get that this i...[ read more ]s a kid's mind, and that children often get overly worked up over seemingly mundane things, but they are also happy from time to time. Every character spends the entire movie either angry or sad. Even when they are happy, they're still a little bit sad or angry. This is not a poorly made movie. It showcases a great fantasy environment, but the complete lack of anything compelling makes it a chore to watch.

    Not nearly as good as the trailer made it out to be...It's almost played like a horror movie at time...[ read more ]s because there's one jump scene that leaves you thinking that anything is possible.The movie is also quite gruesome, in particular the opening scene that establishes the plot for the rest of the movie.
    That said, there are some cool moments during the movie that kept me interested, although the payoff at the end isn't nearly as good as some of the ideas I thought they'd pull.
    Also, if you watch this, I can almost guarantee you'll never want to have a flip-phone again...

  • Where the Wild Things Are (PG, 2009)

    - by flickfever
    Picture
    In keeping with the trend of literary updates; adaptations and "re-imaginings," the fil...[ read more ]m Where the Wild Things Are ran the risk of being just another dime-a-dozen book-to-film creation. Fortunately, the book one which this film is based had 40+ years of giddy anticipation from its devoted legion of fans.

    This film, based on the acclaim children's book by Maurice Sendak, extrapolates upon the book's mere ten sentences and creates a visual masterpiece that is both entertaining and artistically impressive. From start to finish, the movie drips rich droplets of golden art direction; cinematography and and costume design.

    The whimsical story of a boy with a wild imagination is a familiar concept in literature and an even more similar idea when it comes to film geared for children. However, this movie--with it's darker tone and, at times, more complex digressions into psychology--is decidedly more for adults than it is for kids. And that's a good thing, considering that the adults this movie is made for are the kids who grew up fearful of but eventually being enamoured by the ideals of this delightful story.

    It goes without saying that this movie will strike a chord with most of the adult-viewing audience simply because of the fact that they grew up reading the book. But what really makes for an emotional connection is how filled with subtle nuance and brilliant acting it is. Newcomer Max Record (who, appropriately, plays Max) is a joy to watch and is the embodiment of dwarfed masculinity in a child--a concept that any kid growing up thinking he was a cowboy or king can relate to.

    Supporting, almost cameo-like performances by Katherine Keener and Mark Ruffalo provide the film with a grounded sense of hominess and comfort. The soft, yellow glow of the lighting invites memories of a childhood where one might have grown up in a warm house on a rainy day. The petty, yet inextricable behavior displayed by the child protagonist is a striking reminder of the struggle for an identity that we all grow up longing to overcome.

    Essentially, as you follow Max along his journey of self-discovery from a cozy, almost stifling home into the vastness of where the wild things are, you realize that self-discovery is overrated. Sometimes what is needed is discovering that knowing and loving those around you--no matter what--will ultimately lead you to knowing and loving your inmost truth.

  • Where the Wild Things Are (PG, 2009)

    - by her69eyes
    When a movie receives criticism for being too' mature and depressing, it's always the parents that a...[ read more ]re the flag-bearers of negativity. Many people would consider "Where the Wild Things Are" bad for children, but I digress - what kid wouldn't love this movie? The narrative largely involves an unsupervised play date and the building of a monstrous fort. Are children really going to care that the child's father is dead, or will they be more stricken by the howling, playful Wild Things?

    Max (Max Records) is a temperamental young boy - a nine-year-old with mood swings so devastating that they lead him from cuddling with mother (Catherine Keener) to volcanic outbursts in the span of a few minutes. One night, dressed in wolf pajamas, Max begins an unreasonable protest at mother, all culminating with him biting his way out of her arms. He runs off, finds a boat, and sets sail.

    After washing upon the shore of a mysterious island, Max discovers the bizarre inhabitants - large-headed furry giants. The leader, Max's mirror-image in every way, is Carol (James Gandolfini), equally insecure and in desperate need of affection. Carol is irrationally jealous of a pair of owls whom a fellow Wild Thing, KW (Lauren Ambrose), has been spending time with and goes on a temper tantrum equal to Max's in the film's first act. Max, meanwhile, hides in KW herself - escaping back to the womb, finally at peace and quiet.

    Voice acting is rarely as noticeably wonderful as it is here. Gandolfini's performance is truly astounding, a perfect mix of menace and infantile neurosis. The rest of the cast, notably Catherine O'Hara, all contribute a great deal in giving each Wild Thing a distinct personality without sounding distractingly recognizable.

    The film's last half hour or so leaves a bit to be desired. When the island became set in disarray and tempers began to flare, I felt that the deterioration happened before I was willing to let it. That being said, however, when a movie has such intoxicating charm that you beg for an extended cut, it's hard to complain too much.

    "Where the Wild Things Are" is a wildly original family film, a project with an abundance of originality and mass-appeal. Maybe parents won't find it as accessible as your standard children's film, but the heart and morale lesson here is still well-developed enough to warrant a recommendation for all ages.

    Review coming soon.

  • Amelia (PG, 2009)

    - by lopcar1993
    I've seen Biopic's on allot of famous and infamous people of the 20th century, Public Enemies(John ...[ read more ]Dillinger), Aviator(Howard Hughes), Schindler's List(Oskar Schindler), Iron jawed Angel(Alice Paul). But this film, this film has to take the cake as one of the best I've seen yet.



    Mira Nair's "Amelia" is a breathtaking and exploitative look into the life and achievement's of one of the greatest women of the 20th century, brings full center Amelia Earhart's story form beginning to end and it shows you the women she was underneath, It's almost thought provoking how you see the sequence of event's unfold in front of you how you. How you look at things trough her eyes and see the world as she see's it. It's astounding, mesmerizing, Brilliant and seamlessly woven into one brilliant film. All in all this is one movie you don't want to miss and it is one you need to experience to believe.


    Hilary Swank(Who isn't Oscar worthy, but does great here.) Plays the great aviatrix herself and she does it with such grace, _b_style and humbleness that it is fantastic to watch her on screen and to see what she'll do next to define the odds as Earhart. Richard Gere(Who is also fantastic here.) plays Earhart's husband George Putnam with such cunning and sympathy that at times you don't know what to think of him. But none the less the cats holds up very nicely in this handsomely mounted film.



    Amelia is not as great as Public Enemies or Aviator, but it does have a great sense of moral rights and a big heart to fill up some of the holes in the films plot. But it is a great film to watch Swank work and show how(yet again.) that Women can do just as much as men can do. It's a truly compelling and emotional film that I know if your forgiving and kind it will deliver a great movie experience.

  • Law Abiding Citizen (R, 2009)

    - by allan913
    An unforgettably powerful and adreniline-fuelled edge of your seat thriller. A bone-chilling revenge...[ read more ] classic. An unbeliveably exhilerating, mind-blowing and shocking film that shakes you to the core like you wouldnt belive. It packs plenty of twist, turns and explosive excitement around every corner all the way to it's amasing conclusion. A fearless and very intelligent cat and mouse thriller thats solidly character driven, taunt, riveting and loaded with pulse-pounding suspense and explosive action. It takes the revenge film to new heights and shows us something new, dark and tremendously exhilerating movie that you wont forget. A smart, compelling, nail-biting and heart-pounding thrill-machine. Director, F. Gary Grey crafts a superb and thrilling masterwork that takes his _b_style to new places. Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler have never been better. Foxx is excellent in every scene he's in. Butler is incrediable, he gives a memorable, tortured, brilliant and electrifying performance. Butler and Foxx are a tour de force. Top-notch acting, clever writing and well-constructed by its filmmaker. An amasing, shattering, razor-sharp and breathtaking film thats an assualt on the senses. It's nerve-frying, grippingly tense and flat-out brilliant.

    It starts off slow but more story gets added as the film goes on.The thing I like about this film is its original and theres very few films that is simular to this.It could of been better but it did entertain me and kept me interested enough.

    This film was good enough to get in my top 10 so far this year at the moment its my 8th favourite.

    This film as strong characters and the actors gave strong performances I think the actors suited their roles and they put full effort into this film.
    Most audiance that likes comedies or likes anything that makes them laugh will enjoy this.

    This film was a well balanced film and the story was very well done it was Interesting to see people coming up with a story like this and this is why I wanted to see this film.It did start off slow and it could of been much funnier but when people start understanding what sort of humour it is and what sort of people this film is aimed for people should want to see this and most comedy audiance should find this an entertaining piece of story with an excellent script and a well delivered cast with some outstanding performances.

    The acting was great it may not actually be outstanding but some of it may be its entertaining to say the least and also interesting well it should keep you occupied.

    Overall this film was well delivered so its deffinitlly worth to check out.

  • Paranormal Activity (R, 2009)

    - by her69eyes
    The story behind "Paranormal Activity" is an astonishing one - the film, shot in one week by Israeli...[ read more ]-born filmmaker Oren Peli, first came to horror festivals in 2007. Now, with Paramount utilizing an ingenious release strategy built solely on word-of-mouth, the micro-budgeted phenomenon has raked in over $60 millon.

    The film, like "The Blair Witch Project" or "Cloverfield", utilizes an ultra-realistic "found footage" approach. The limitations of the equipment are certainly noticeable - both the audio and video quality are terrible - but the film's technical inadequacies only add to it's conceit.

    Katie (Katie Featherston), an English major, has been haunted all of her life by a tormenting demon. Now, after revealing this information to her boyfriend Micah (Micah Sloat), his interest peaks to such an extent that he begins to film their bedroom every night. Surely enough, Micah and Katie begin noticing things on the tape that they had slept through - loud crashes, doors swinging open, lights flickering. As Micah begins to antagonize their intruder, it's appearances become increasingly violent.

    The bedroom scenes in the film are enormously effective. Utilizing a stationary camera with a wide angle lens, the audience is forced to study the environment and detect any changes - will a shadow appear on the door? Will the bedsheets ripple? Will the pounding footsteps begin to make their way towards the doorway? The success of "Paranormal Activity" is that it doesn't rely on it's jump scares. We're fully aware of where the demon is in relation to the couple, but the horrific claustrophobia of the bedroom makes for a handful of pitch-perfect suspense sequences.

    Because "Paranormal Activity" has been such a smashing success, both the over-hyping and the backlash has begun. Before you get sick of hearing about it, go and experience it for yourself. Something tells me that the film won't have any success translating to home viewing, but in the theater there's nothing quite like it.

    'This is it' is amazing. I found it mesmerising. I wanted to get up and dance in the cinema. It is a...[ read more ] movie documenting the rehearsals for Michael's 'This is it' comeback tour. The footage was for Michael's own private collection and for him to review and fine tune the performances. The footage shows an intimate glimpse into the genius at work, the detail, the dedication and craft of the King of Pop. The movie is well done. It gives us an idea of how the concert would have been, the set, the line up, the dancers, etc. It would have been the best concert the world has ever seen. I was only 3 weeks away from seeing him live in London. I was devastated by his death. Though we are lucky it is the digital age, as we can see him living through his music and videos. He is a Legend and will never be forgotten.
