Sundance Journal: ‘Golden Exits’

Luke Hickman — Wed, 08 Feb 2017 17:00:38 +0000

Most of the dramas I saw at Sundance this year either revolved around high concepts or were set in scenarios that would obviously result in tension. As such, the small, character-driven ‘Golden Exits’ was a breath of fresh air. From writer/director Alex Ross Perry (‘Listen Up Philip’), ‘Golden Exits’ follows two groups of people that...

It’s Thanksgiving this week, which can only mean that it’s time to bring out the turkeys. Oh, I suppose that’s not entirely fair. Still, holiday weeks are always a slow time for new Blu-ray releases. Fortunately, this one has a couple of impressive box sets worth taking a good look at. New Releases The first...

Luke Hickman — Fri, 19 Jul 2013 16:00:44 +0000

During this odd, very busy weekend, Ryan Reynolds and Mary-Louise Parker each have two movies opening wide against one another. For all the die-hard Reynolds and Parker fans out there, a major conundrum is presented: Which movie do you see? If the two actually have die-hard fans, they might not anymore after seeing this weekend’s...

In addition, I’ve heard rumors that a lot of studio people are worried that this $130 million-budgeted film won’t even top out at $15 million this weekend. It’s...

Now Playing: ‘RED’ It and Weep

Brian Hoss — Thu, 18 Jul 2013 19:00:14 +0000

The two ‘RED’ films are meant to be fun and funny. They feature several well-known and highly-accomplished actors doing fantastic secret-agent stuff. The first movie was very engaging as it introduced lead characters Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) and Sarah Ross (Mary-Louise Parker), but it quickly devolved into a tap dance of over-the-top sequences. In that...

The Trailer Park: Covert Agents and General MacArthur

M. Enois Duarte — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 20:00:26 +0000

In this week’s batch of trailers, devoted-dad Dwayne Johnson becomes a snitch, Matthew Fox builds a case against the emperor of Japan, and Bruce Willis comes out of retirement… again. ‘Snitch’ I think the best part of this trailer is the narrator’s voice saying, “How far would you go?” It’s an old-fashioned trailer that’s quick...
