The Cine File: Take Me to the Promised Land: On This Season's Political Cinema
http://aschenker.blogspot.com/2012/12/take-me-to-promised-land-on-this.html
A discussion of classic and contemporary film with Andrew Schenker. Thursday, December 13, 2012. Take Me to the Promised Land: On This Season's Political Cinema. To Zero Dark Thirty. While a solid, engaging, attractively lensed piece of cinema, Gus Van Sant’s hydrofracking drama, Promised Land. Never hits the heights of the other films, offering neither the cross-cut thrills of Argo. The intelligent observation of behind-the-scenes political process of Lincoln. A troubling movie indeed. Andrew Schenker i...

From the Front Row: Review | "Red Army"
http://www.fromthefrontrow.net/2015/03/review-red-army.html
From the Front Row. Movie News, Reviews, and Commentary by Matthew Lucas. Friday, March 20, 2015. Propaganda has always been one of the most important weapons of war. Never was that more true than during the Cold War between the United States and Russia, which was almost exclusively fought by propaganda, as the two countries constantly tried to one up each other with symbolic, non-violent victories like some sort of international dick measuring contest. Gabe Polsky's new documentary, Red Army. Might have...

From the Front Row: Review | "Jauja"
http://www.fromthefrontrow.net/2015/03/review-jauja.html
From the Front Row. Movie News, Reviews, and Commentary by Matthew Lucas. Thursday, March 26, 2015. As cinematic enigmas go, you would be hard pressed to find one more deliberately obfuscating than Lisandro Alonso's Jauja. Yet far from hampering one's enjoyment of the film, its seeming impenetrability and its hazy thematic content deepen one's engagement with the work. Part of the beauty of this film lies in its mystery. Alonso doesn't want us to understand. Courtesy of Cinema Guild. Visit me on Facebook.

From the Front Row: Review | "The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared"
http://www.fromthefrontrow.net/2015/05/review-100-year-old-man-who-climbed-out.html
From the Front Row. Movie News, Reviews, and Commentary by Matthew Lucas. Thursday, May 07, 2015. Review "The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared". Allan (Robert Gustafsson) in THE 100-YEAR-OLD MAN. Courtesy of Music Box Films. It all has the feel of a tall tale spun by an old man exaggerating events from his life. It's whimsical and consistently amusing, managing to get by on good old fashioned charm even in its similarities to Forrest Gump. 9733;★★½ (out of four). Finding Dory -...
