"As human as the rest of us...": Al Pacino and Holly Hunter save Manglehorn, an eccentric drama full of symbolism but devoid of substance

http://ashumanastherestofus.blogspot.com/2015/08/al-pacino-and-holly-hunter-save.html

Thursday, 13 August 2015. Al Pacino and Holly Hunter save Manglehorn, an eccentric drama full of symbolism but devoid of substance. Director: David Gordon Green. Starring: Al Pacino, Holly Hunter, Harmony Korine. Try as I might, I can’t put the silliness of the word ‘Manglehorn’ to one side. It sounds like some exotic and entirely unpleasant genital malady from a comedy sketch featuring Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. In Adam Sandler’s crime against cinema Jack and Jill. The 1975 Sidney Lumet flick in which...

Friday, 30 January 2015. Kingsman: The Secret Service – Ridiculous, riotous, Bond-flavoured fun. Kingsman: The Secret Service. Starring: Colin Firth, Taron Egerton, Samuel L Jackson, Michael Caine, Mark Strong. He can do subtle too though. There is, for instance, a brilliant moment in the film’s final 20 minutes featuring Michael Caine’s Arthur – the Kingsmen’s leader – that tells you everything you need to know about his character in barely a single second of screen tim...There is, of course, a danger t...

http://ashumanastherestofus.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 30 June 2015. Review: We may have reached 'peak zombie' but Maggie – starring Arnold Schwarzenegger – has both depth and humanity. This review contains spoilers in its final paragraph*. Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Abigail Breslin, Joely Richardson. Running time: 95 mins. Have delighted me quite enough, thanks. Or will the big galoot fail in his duty, allowing Mags to have his wife (Joely Richardson) and two younger kids for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Is full of them. And one with which th...

"As human as the rest of us...": December 2014

http://ashumanastherestofus.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 31 December 2014. The best of 2014 part two. Numbers 15 to 6 on my top 25 films of the year. 15 We are the Best (Lukas Moodysson). Uplifting celebration of youthful rebellion and friendship focusing on the three members of an all-girl punk band in 1980s. It would have been easy for this to be patronising or slip into sickly sentiment; instead it crackles with energy, humour and chaotic charm. White Lung, or somebody equally punk-rock, really need to cover 'Hate the Sport' right now. On the sur...
