The Great Gatsby Review | Cinedelphia
http://cinedelphia.com/gatsby-revie
Raquo; Written by Jeff Piotrowski. In retrospect, it’s an absolute feat that I somehow navigated the waters of the high school English curriculum without having to read F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Great American Novel, The Great Gatsby. Classic statements such as “so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past”. Is a flamboyant, fun affair. Critics will pan Luhrmann’s restless, style-over-substance approach to the fiction; after all, his Gatsby. In The Great Gatsby. Luhrmann goe...

Mad Max: Fury Road. Raquo; Written by Dan Scully. Mad Max: Fury Road. Mad Max: Fury Road. Mad Max: Fury Road. Is as close to a perfect action/adventure flick as I’ve seen since the heyday of Indiana Jones. Let’s talk about it. You’ve probably heard this film referred to as one long chase scene, which it is, but unlike the large majority of modern action flicks in which frenetic action pieces serve as a break from the plot, Fury Road. Machismo seems to be what lead to society’s downfall. Even Fu...Is perh...

Poltergeist review | Cinedelphia

Raquo; Written by Dan Scully. The fundamental problem in remaking a movie like Poltergeist. Yes, it has a few problems, but most are garden variety for any horror remake (How much fan service is too much? Which classic sequences must be included? Which should be cut? And if you can categorize these issues as unavoidable, and you should, there is a ton of fun to be had. That’s the key: fun. To watch the original Poltergeist. Also directed by Gil Kenan. While his take on Poltergeist. As some sort of cinema...

La Fin du Monde. April 6, 2009 at 4:34 pm. Or maybe not the. But the PFF/CF, anyway, which for you plebians has been part of your life for just under a fortnight but for us journos has been going on since early March. And with the finale comes the star-studded indie that could, but likely won’t. So late to the game it almost feels fresh, the long-in-the-works.

A Quick Report on My Sanity. April 2, 2009 at 8:11 pm. So, my wholly unprofessional self-diagnosed report on my sanity is this: crumbling but still plucky. I feel the burn, and I sense the wall right in front of me. And yet, intelligent designer as my witness, I will push through it. Also, I’ve officially begun walking out of unpromising movies, so that should make things easier. But if you spot me, please give me a hug. Oh, and go see. Tonight at 7:15 at Ritz 5. It be rad. 2 Comments Add your own. You a...

Go See (or Don’t!) These Fest Films: Tuesday, March 31 | Fest Phanatic
https://festphanatic.wordpress.com/2009/03/31/go-see-or-dont-these-fest-films-tuesday-march-31
Go See (or Don’t! These Fest Films: Tuesday, March 31. March 31, 2009 at 3:42 pm. Considering it’s a documentary about a mentally ill teen who killed himself that’s been made by the kid’s parents, you’d expect. To be infinitely too personal — moving, yes, but still therapy-made-public and in need of some distance. I’m still not entirely convinced it didn’t need a third party behind the lens, but it’s nowhere near something like Nicole Conn’s unsightly and self-aggrandizing doc. 7:15pm, Ritz East. S Rosch...
