Articles tagged "josh hartnett" Decade-Dense: The 60 Most Memorable Films of 1999 FeaturePart 2: The Virgin Suicides to The Blair Witch Project (May - August 1999)by PopMatters Staff[24.Mar.09] :. In Part Two of our look at the most memorable films of 1999, we experience music, foul-mouthed mayhem, and a late, great auteur's final cinematic statement. Decade-Dense: The 60 Most Memorable Films of 1999  Film DVD ReviewResurrecting the Champby Marc Calderaro[24.Apr.08] :. An interesting tale about the intent of lying and the strengths of good old-fashioned work.  Film Review30 Days of Nightby Cynthia Fuchs[19.Oct.07] :. The most impressive effect in 30 Days of Night is Danny Huston's haircut.  NewsJosh Hartnett sees reporters from the other side of the storyby Roger Moore [The Orlando Sentinel (MCT)][24.Aug.07] :. "I would love to play a rock star," he said. "If somebody said it was time to make The Iggy Pop Story, I'd be there."  Film ReviewResurrecting the Champby Cynthia Fuchs[24.Aug.07] :. Maybe Erik just is so dim that he doesn't understand what's at stake in his storytelling, the way it reflects and repeats a history of storytelling.  Column: The Box Office BelletristThe Lisbon Bunchby Jennifer Makowsky[14.Jun.07] :. Purposefully ending one's life is often seen as a last act of personal desperation. But in Jefferey Eugenides' poignant, bewitching novel, it may actually be a form of salvation. The Black Dahlia (2006)by Cynthia Fuchs[15.Sep.06] :. Why the detectives are obsessed with the murder is never clear, though it may have to do with the vacuum of a movie swirling around them: they've got nothing else to do. Lucky Number Slevin (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[7.Apr.06] :. Despite the title of the movie he lives in, Slevin (Josh Hartnett) is only partly lucky. Sin City (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[16.Aug.05] :. Like the guys, the girls are undone by their reliance on conventional male power signs. Sin City (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[1.Apr.05] :. Distraught, ornery, self-critical, these heroes are certainly more "anti" types than straight-ahead. Wicker Park (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[10.Sep.04] :. Unlikely as it seems, Matthew Lillard is the saving grace of Paul McGuigan's wretched remake of L'Appartement. Black Hawk Down: Superbit (2001)by Cynthia Fuchs[14.Jun.04] :. Black Hawk Down illustrates well the absurdity and chaos of urban warfare: there's no ground to be won, no victory to be claimed. Hollywood Homicide (2003)by Cynthia Fuchs[7.Oct.03] :. My intention was to make a picture that on one level was a genre movie, summer movie, kind of a cop movie, whatever that genre is, and at the same time, to serve different gods. Hollywood Homicide (2003)by Cynthia Fuchs[19.Jun.03] :. Short version: Joe's hardheaded and eats cheeseburgers, K.C.'s into fluidity and bean sprouts. Black Hawk Down (2001)by Cynthia Fuchs[13.Jun.02] :. An action movie dressed up like an art film, 'Black Hawk Down' is not about betrayal or anger, but heroism and patriotic fervor. 40 Days and 40 Nights (2002)by Cynthia Fuchs[28.Feb.02] :. '40 Days and 40 Nights' is a love story, yes, about a boy and his penis. The Virgin Suicides (1999)by Todd R. RamlowAnd yet, for its many pleasures, I find myself conflicted in thinking about The Virgin Suicides. The Virgin Suicides (1999)by Cynthia FuchsIt's hardly a new idea, to read into adolescent girls' suicide something poetic, passionate, and deeply meaningful. Neither is it a secret that countless girls have admired Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton, Joni Mitchell and Tracy Chapman, seeing in their wounded and inviolate art reflections of themselves, their own pain and enchantment. Pearl Harbor (2001)by Mike WardPearl Harbor's endorsement of military ideals and barely submerged nostalgia for the war's anti-Japanese racism only abates for a half hour of stunningly rendered shoot-em-up as the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and its surrounding airfields takes place. O (2001)by Cynthia FuchsThis is easily O's most cogent insight, which it hits hard and insistently -- the ways that longstanding cultural anxieties about race in the U.S. continue to affect young people's individual and community relationships, just as it affects adults. Here on Earth (2000)by Cynthia FuchsKelley Morse (Chris Klein) is a familiar movie character, a prep school boy who has too much money and not enough attention from his father. For graduation, his insensitive dad (Stuart Wilson) is... Black Hawk Down (2001)by Cynthia FuchsAn action movie dressed up like an art film, 'Black Hawk Down' is not about betrayal or anger, but heroism and patriotic fervor. Blow Dry (2001)by Todd R.
