Sunday, September 14, 2014. The Imitation Game' Wins TIFF's People's Choice Award. The 2014 Toronto Film Festival has come to a close and with it their top prize- the People's Choice Award. Toronto is somewhat different than other major film festivals (Sundance, Cannes, Venice, Berlin) in that their top prize is chosen by festival filmgoers rather than a designated jury. They do hand out a few smaller jury prizes, but the biggie is the People's Choice Award. Directed by Morten Tyldum. Sort of renders tha...

Musings and Stuff...: White God
http://james-wwwmusingsandstuff.blogspot.com/2015/04/white-god.html
Wednesday, April 15, 2015. Perhaps just like Hagen, the mixed-breed canine headliner of Kornél Mundruczó's thrilling Hungarian parable White God. And derives from a quote from J. M. Coetzee's post-apartheid novel Disgrace. Proudly wears a wide range of influences upon its sleeve- there's a hint of Planet of the Apes. A dash of Charles Bronson grade B-schlock, a peppering of Lassie Comes Home. In its messy and imperfect way is an utterly fascinating and vibrant piece of filmmaking, a difficult film to sha...

Tuesday, April 29, 2014. Making Fetch Happen: 'Mean Girls' 10 Years Later. Startling to think that ten years ago Lindsay Lohan was the still a promising redhead on the verge of breaking out, Tina Fey was still mostly unknown outside of Saturday Night Live. Rachel McAdams hadnt yet made three (3! Time travel romantic fairy tales and Mean Girls. Was in the 1980s and Clueless. In the 1990s, Mean Girls. Is the ultimate defining teen comedy of the 2000s. Mean Girls. Borrows heavily from Heathers. Is an invig...

Musings and Stuff...: Avengers: Age of Ultron
http://james-wwwmusingsandstuff.blogspot.com/2015/05/avengers-age-of-ultron.html
Saturday, May 2, 2015. Avengers: Age of Ultron. Avengers: Age of Ultron. Officially kicks off the summer movie season. Box office records for Marvel's eleventh. Trilogy. I just wish slightly more people flocked to the latter and slightly less blathered endlessly at the former. Hiring Whedon was Marvel's smartest move. When he came aboard to write and direct the first Avengers. The problem (and that may be a poor choice of words) is that Age of Ultron. And provided that films' most memorable sequence), th...
