The Formidable Film Critic: Carnage
http://formidablefilmcritic.blogspot.com/2011/12/carnage.html
The Formidable Film Critic. Friday, December 16, 2011. What could possibly happen when two contemporary, middle-aged, New York City couples get together? Director Roman Polanski has a body of work that spans over half a century. Though varied in plot and characters, they all embrace human indifference and dramatizes even the simplest of circumstances. Early audiences trembled over the horrors of Rosemary's Baby. And reveled in his contempt to intrigue in the multilayered plot of Chinatown. At the film's ...

The Formidable Film Critic: September 2009

The Formidable Film Critic. Friday, September 18, 2009. This film has renewed my belief that Hollywood can indeed capture the essence of romance. Academy Award winner Jane Campion has returned in full force with this remarkably poignant tale about renowned poet John Keats and the love that inspired his work and enticed his life. In the same fashion as her acclaimed film The Piano. I failed John Keats! I did not know how tightly he had wound himself around my heart! Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★. Eric J. Merfalen.

The Formidable Film Critic. Friday, August 21, 2009. When anyone mentions the name Quentin Tarantino, a mélange of words come to mind: extreme, audacious, impudent. But much of his style is modeled after the numerous cult cinema classics and Inglourious Basterds. And The Great Escape. And once again, his approach is indeed noteworthy and original, to say the very least. Sonke Mohring, Til Schweiger and Brad Pitt. Denis Menochet and Christoph Waltz. Christoph Waltz as Col. Hans Landa. And who was crafted ...

The Formidable Film Critic. Tuesday, January 24, 2012. For Your Consideration: 84th Academy Awards Nominations. Out of self-denial for them being actual contenders, I am very pleased with that statistic. There really weren't any true surprises to the final list of nominees; however, many an argument can be made about the various omissions. In terms of the number of nominations, Martin Scorsese's Hugo. The "Big Five" Awards (8). Thomas Langmann, Producer. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Nominees to b...

Steinfeld with Barry Pepper as Lucky Ned Pepper. Joel and Ethan Coen. Rating: ★ ★ ★ 1/2. Bottom Line: Not your quaint-essential Coen Brothers piece, but entertaining in its own right.
