An Oscar nominee for writing and directing “Michael Clayton,” much in demand as a screenwriter thanks to his adapting the Jason Bourne action films,...  Film ReviewDuplicityby Cynthia Fuchs[20.Mar.09] :. For all its bright banter and flashbacky fanciness, Duplicity boils down to this rudimentary formula: morality and success are functions of beauty.  Film ReviewThe Internationalby Cynthia Fuchs[13.Feb.09] :. Tom Tykwer's thriller shrewdly introduces Lou (Clive Owen) as he observes rather than acts.  NewsScript-savvy Clive Owen is a man of his wordsby Roger Moore [The Orlando Sentinel (MCT)][9.Feb.09] :. Clive Owen was born with the whole “tall, dark and handsome” thing. But “the strong, silent type” that got him tagged “the new Steve McQueen” as his film career...  PopMatters Picks: The Best TV, Film, and DVD of 2007 FeatureAccepting the Blame: The Top Guilty Pleasures of 2007by PopMatters Staff[17.Jan.08] :. PopMatters proffers its collection of 2007's most notable defective faves. And it's okay to laugh. After all, we'd probably do the same to you and your uncomfortable fixations as well.

The serious Science Fiction film genre is dead or at least on cinematic life support. As the new millennial marches forward, and an omnipresent production paradigm that substitutes spectacle for smarts, futurist filmmaking is definitely gasping for breath. Alfonso Cuaron: ‘The present, projected into the future’by Joshua Klein [McClatchy Newspapers (MCT)][26.Mar.07] :. Cuaron talks about Children of Men, his powerful film with explicit references to the political present. The Pay Off: The Best Film of 2006by PopMatters Staff[11.Jan.07] :. For many of the movies on PopMatters' 2006 list of the year's best films, it is clear that a heavy personal and professional stake was riding on the final product. Children of Men (2007)by Cynthia Fuchs[5.Jan.07] :. Even with so much attention paid to her body and to her child, Kee's story is secondary to Theo's, as his loss of hope must be undone and his past redressed. Inside Man (2006)by Cynthia Fuchs[15.Aug.06] :. Appearing in tight shots, the grainy hi-def digital exacerbating their complexities, the interviewees are traumatized or performative, sometimes both. Inside Man (2006)by Cynthia Fuchs[24.Mar.06] :. New York is everywhere in Spike Lee's sharp, new, genre-bending movie. Derailed (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[11.Nov.05] :. While RZA and Xzibit deliver their own delights as performers, their characters' aggression and victimization are of a piece, and left to the white guy to sort out. Sin City (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[16.Aug.05] :. Like the guys, the girls are undone by their reliance on conventional male power signs. Closer (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[7.Apr.05] :. This leads to titillation, judgment, desire, and commerce all around. How Howard Stern. Sin City (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[1.Apr.05] :. Distraught, ornery, self-critical, these heroes are certainly more "anti" types than straight-ahead. King 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. Closer (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[3.Dec.04] :. This leads to titillation, judgment, desire, and commerce all around. How Howard Stern. I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead (2003)by Cynthia Fuchs[15.Nov.04] :. For all the inevitability of Will's descent, I'll Sleep When I'm Dead is an almost perversely moving experience. King 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. I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead (2003)by Cynthia Fuchs[2.Jul.04] :. Will (Clive Owen) is a menace, even to the bad guys. Beyond Borders (2003)by Cynthia Fuchs[22.Mar.04] :. The truth is shifty throughout Beyond Borders, primarily because its fiction is filtered through Sarah's eyes. Beyond Borders (2003)by Cynthia Fuchs[23.Oct.03] :. The scene inspires Sarah to do a right thing, that is, leave her comfy urban environs for the deserts of Ethiopia. Gosford Park (2001)by Cynthia Fuchs[27.Jun.02] :. It is clear about what it is, a study of affect that is also affected. The Bourne Identity (2002)by Cynthia Fuchs[13.Jun.02] :. The CIA here is an intensely low-down, sinister, and duplicitous organization. Gosford Park (2001)by Cynthia FuchsIt is clear about what it is, a study of affect that is also affected. Croupier (1997/2000)by P. Nelson ReinschDirector Mike Hodges is most famous for his classic British gangster film Get Carter (featuring what may be Michael Caine’s finest work and may soon look even more classic due to an... |
