Articles tagged "antoine fuqua" Film ReviewShooter (2007)by Cynthia Fuchs[23.Mar.07] :. While Swagger describes himself modestly, he's also one of those highly trained government instruments whose post-trauma mission in life is vengeance.  Film DVD ReviewLightning in a Bottle (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[7.Mar.05] :. For director Antoine Fuqua, it was clear that the right place to start a concert imagining the history of the blues would start with a song from Africa.  Film DVD ReviewKing Arthur: Extended Unrated Director’s Cut (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[22.Dec.04] :. 'The idea of these young boys being taken away from home at a young age... reminded me a lot of my own culture,' says director Antoine Fuqua. Film ReviewLightning in a Bottle (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[10.Dec.04] :. The sensational Buddy Guy is his own, allusive story, as he incarnates a bridge between generations and styles.  Film ReviewKing Arthur (2004)by Jesse Hassenger[8.Jul.04] :. This generically gritty and solidly PG-13 King Arthur isn't even much of an action picture.  Film ReviewTears of the Sun (2003)by Cynthia Fuchs[8.Mar.03] :. To its credit, Tears of the Sun's action here is somber rather than thrilling; you can root for the SEALs, but the toll on them is visible. Training Day (2001)by Cynthia FuchsPlausibility is plainly not Training Day's concern. It's more interested in images and ideas than practicalities. Bait (2000)by Cynthia FuchsThe film's most effective balancing act comes in the form of Foxx's terrific performance: throughout, he's quirky, subtle, and thankfully able to keep up with the movie's lurching tone-and-genre shifts, from comedy to action to almost-arty to melodrama. |
