What Did Batman Do Between The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises?

New DVD release, , ,
The Dark Knight not so much glided back onto cinema screens in 2012 as he hobbled across them. With a scraggly, unkempt beard and a bathrobe acting as his cape, Bruce Wayne appeared more like how one imagines Christian Bale exists between gigs than Batman at the start of The Dark Knight Rises. He appeared like an invalid whose great adventures were behind him. In retrospect, this is probably not the version of the Caped Crusader fans expected to find after The Dark Knight’s thrilling finale. At the close of what many still consider to be the high water mark…

How Freaky Walks the Gory Line Between Horror And Comedy

New DVD release, , , ,
Finding the right balance between horror and comedy is one of the hardest things to pull off successfully on film, but writer/director Christopher Landon has done it twice with Happy Death Day (2017) and its sequel, Happy Death Day 2U, in which a college student played by Jessica Rothe keeps reliving the same day on which she dies…and then gets to relive it in a different dimension. Now Landon gets a shot at a horror/comedy trifecta with Freaky, in which Kathryn Newton plays a high schooler who inadvertently swaps bodies with a hulking, unstoppable serial killer called the Blissfield Butcher…

Fargo Season 4: The Gang War Between The Chicago Outfit and The Policy Kings

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The following contains spoilers for Fargo season 4. The FX series Fargo begins every episode of every season with a disclaimer that the stories are true but the names are changed. This gives the show a lot of leeway in picking its stories and how to present them. Fargo season 4 is set in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1950. Two mobs in one small city make a truce, which appears to be traditional in that part of town. It’s been done for at least two generations. Loy Cannon, played by Chris Rock, boss of an African American crime family, trades…

The Stand Trailer Teases Battle Between Randall Flagg and Mother Abagail

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The first teaser for CBS’s new adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand has arrived. The 30-second teaser is a very small slice of footage but there are two pretty big reveals in it: our first looks at Whoopi Goldberg’s post-apocalyptic prophet Mother Abagail and Alexander Skarsgard’s Randall Flag, the Walking Dude himself. Check out the teaser below: The Stand, which is considered by many Constant Readers to be King’s absolute masterpiece, is the story of two groups of survivors living in a post-apocalyptic United States after a superflu known as Captain Trips has completely decimated 99 percent of the world’s…

James Mangold Recalls ‘Incestuous’ System Between Harvey Weinstein’s Miramax and Film Critics

New DVD release, , , , , ,
James Mangold’s Cop Land was probably ahead of its time. Released in 1997 to positive if not enthusiastic reviews, and a healthy if not massive box office haul, the movie was criticized by some at the time for its overly cynical depiction of the New York Police Department. For others, there was an ambivalence toward casting action star Sylvester Stallone in a serious role opposite Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel. More than 20 years later, however, one imagines Cop Land’s use of an action star in a dramatic light might be better received in this day and age—think Stallone’s…

In Between (aka Bar Bahar)

Max SchindlerNew DVD release,
Rent It When it comes to art that is ostensibly creative or unique, the films that land at a crossroads between culture and cliche are the most complicated to assess. As the old Ebert quote goes, it's not what a film is about, but how the movie is about that subject, but even films that offer a unique cultural perspective or artistic voice, can end up weighed down by the how of familiar story beats or plot devices. In Between is one of those films: a striking feminist statement that no doubt stands out among the films currently being made…
