Articles tagged "radha mitchell" Film DVD ReviewHenry Poole Is Hereby Stephen Snart[4.Mar.09] :. Not religious enough for Sunday school, but enough bent to be shelved in the Christian Inspiration section.  News‘Henry Poole’s’ Luke Wilson lives life his wayby Roger Moore [The Orlando Sentinel (MCT)][15.Aug.08] :. “I’m always makin’ movies that I figure’ll play better in the Midwest, in less cynical places than LA and New York,” says actor Luke Wilson in that familiar Texas drawl.... Film ReviewHenry Poole is Hereby Todd R. Ramlow[15.Aug.08] :. Your faith and your patience won't fare well for sitting through the slow-moving, lackluster Henry Poole is Here.  Short Ends and LeaderThese ‘Children’ Deserve a More Factual Formatby Bill Gibron[1.Jul.08] :. While it may seem sacrilegious to say it, stories of heroic human efforts during the tenuous dangers of wartime appear to be an international dime a dozen. Just when you think all the narrative bases...  Film ReviewChildren of Huang Shiby Cynthia Fuchs[23.May.08] :. Children of Huang Shi is another movie about a well-meaning white man stumbling into an exotic and unknowable elsewhere where he learns all about himself.  The PopMatters Summer 2008 Movie Preview FeatureThe Return of the Popcorn Circus: July 2008by Bill Gibron[30.Apr.08] :. And it just doesn't stop. If part two in this three-ring play was packed with well hyped product, July just keeps the receipt treats coming. The PopMatters Summer 2008 Movie Preview Feast of Loveby Cynthia Fuchs[28.Sep.07] :. Because Morgan Freeman is so good at such voiceovers, in which he patiently explains the good intentions of "humans" (usually white humans) who make terrible mistakes and hurt one another, the role is the one he seems destined to play -- for the rest of his life. Silent Hill (2006)by Cynthia Fuchs[21.Aug.06] :. "It was Christophe's vision that Rose is very much a normal person in this un-normal world," says Radha Mitchell. Silent Hill (2006)by Cynthia Fuchs[21.Apr.06] :. Long on atmosphere, Silent Hill is way short on cunning or beguiling. It's also short on sense. Melinda and Melinda (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[25.Oct.05] :. In Melinda and Melinda, full of women struggling to make their desires known to men who suppose they know what women want and mean, the women are infinitely less regular and more interesting. Finding Neverland (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[23.Mar.05] :. 'Play' is a means to define childhood, to prolong mythic innocence, to grant nobility. Melinda and Melinda (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[18.Mar.05] :. Hobie rejiggers his life in order to make himself look 'available' for Melinda, the joke being that the Allen character is never actually available, but rather, needy, fervent, and clumsily scheming. High Art (1998)by Daniel Mudie Cunningham[10.Jan.05] :. Where other lesbian-themed films might ride the sweat-stained cliché for all it's worth, Cholodenko instead shows restraint. Finding Neverland (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[19.Nov.04] :. As James Barrie, the Scottish-born playwright most famous for imagining Peter Pan, Johnny Depp appears the consummately charismatic child-man. Man on Fire (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[15.Sep.04] :. Tony Scott enthuses, 'I had such a brilliant smorgasbord of really odd, strange personalities and different looks.'" Man on Fire (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[23.Apr.04] :. Man on Fire means to distress. Punctuated by mobile subtitles and assaultive editing, the movie underlines the daily threat of living in places where kidnapping is a sort of business, organized and ongoing. Phone Booth (2002)by Cynthia Fuchs[14.Jul.03] :. We're surrounded by spin all the time and I think that many times people who spin for a living really don't know the truth anymore because, I guess, they have to believe so much in the spin that they are spinning. Phone Booth (2002)by Cynthia Fuchs[3.Apr.03] :. A function of increasing anxieties about security, surveillance technology, and loss of privacy, this sniper is symptomatic. Pitch Black (2000)by Cynthia FuchsThe scene is grim and very familiar: a hulk of a space ship crawls through the starry darkness, then runs into unexpected trouble, such that its crew is awakened from travel-slumber ahead of schedule. Pitch Black (2000)by P. Nelson ReinschThe spirit of world class schlock-horror promoter William Castle was in the theater recently, during a preview screening of Pitch Black, as flashlights were given to a number of audience members. |
