Fri, 04 Jan 2013 07:19:07 -0500

Quentin Tarantino’s brilliant and brutal revenge western is a wildly exciting return to form: a thrilling adventure in genre and style climaxing in a bizarre and nightmarish scenario in a slave plantation in 1858. The movie is managed with Tarantino’s superb provocation and audacity, with a whiplash of cruelty and swagger of scorn. It is superbly acted by Christoph Waltz, Jamie Foxx, Kerry Washington, Leonardo DiCaprioand, particularly, Samuel L Jackson, who creates a masterpiece with his chilling character Stephen, the grey, stooping servant-elder to DiCaprio’s unspeakable slave-owner Calvin Candie.

Released: 19 Jan 2013

What movie junkie out there wouldn’t leap at the chance to see merry pranksters such as Christopher Walken, Sam Rockwell and Woody Harrelson go bug-fuck nuts in something called Seven Psychopaths? Walken, his line readings a thing of bizarro beauty, is reason enough to sign up. The icing on the cake is Martin McDonagh, the acclaimed Irish playwright who took a winning stab at writing and directing for the screen in 2008’s In Bruges. Two years ago, Walken made Broadway hum with mirth and menace in McDonagh’s A Behanding in Spokane.

Now they’re back together, with Walken playing a priceless McDonagh creation called Hans, an L.A. con artist who teams up with Billy (Rockwell) to kidnap dogs from wealthy owners and hold them for ransom. Their big mistake is nabbing Bonny, a Shih Tzu belonging to Harrelson’s Charlie Costello, a gangster with a sadistic streak for anything non-canine. Harrelson is hilarious, especially going goo-goo over Bonny. And Walken and Rockwell have mad skills at, well, everything. Their byplay gets mired by a subplot involving Marty (Colin Farrell), a boozy Irish screenwriter stuck in Hollywood and blocked on his new script. He hasn’t written anything but the title, Seven Psychopaths. To help, Billy puts out an all-points alert for scum of the earth. Not a bad idea when the great Tom Waits, playing a serial killer, becomes a contender. Blood splatters, heads explode, and McDonagh takes sassy, self-mocking shots at the very notion of being literary in Hollywood. It’s crazy-killer fun.

Universal Everything / Documentary

I’ve followed Universal Everything ever since I came across “Forever”, an installation in London (which I posted about here). The Creators Project sits down with founder Matt Pyke to talk about the studio, and the thinking behind the things they create.

It’s pearls like these, not to mention the deliriously arch fight scene involving two komodo dragons, that give Mendes’s film enough momentum to power through its scrappy third act, when Silva’s diabolical plans start to feel a tad scattershot, even for a Bond villain.

“We don’t go in for exploding pens any more,” quips a fashionably tousled Q (Ben Whishaw). Nor do audiences, and I suspect Skyfall will be a stratospheric hit.

“Triange” by Grace Nayoon Rhee

Grace Nayoon Rhee is an amazingly talented young filmmaker, currently working towards her MFA at CalArts. She imbues the characteristically harmless hand drawn medium with such a disturbing and cinematic quality, that I can’t help but get completely sucked in to the world she’s created. The sound is incredible as well.

Jamie Foxx Is Serious In New Image From ‘Django Unchained’

Fri, 31 Aug 2012 14:19:06 -0400

Summer is just about over and Fall is on the horizon. And once Fall is over, we’re right into Winter. This is my way of trivializing the excruating four months we all have until Quentin Tarantino‘s latest film, Django Unchained, hits screens. Opening Christmas day, Jamie Foxx stars as Django, a slave freed by, and trained as, a bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz) to hunt down some brothers and free his wife (Kerry Washington). The cast is beyond impressive (Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson, Jonah Hill, Don Johnson, Walton Goggins, RZA) the trailers have been scintillating.
