THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING - A New Film Report

What a marvelous film! It holds everything that in my mind makes a film great. It tells a story which could be of the ages: Imagine a brilliant young man- having the glory of a cosmological inquisitive mind and the great privilege of being educated in one of the world's great institutions of learning-at Cambridge- and finding himself in love with a young female student who is in love with him -- and getting ready to embark on a stellar career... suddenly finding that his future may well be sealed by a cruel Motor Neuron Disease that the doctors predict will end his life within two years. Who of us would have the stuff to turn that fate into one of the great triumphs of love and genius?.. ..

Television Commercials Have No Limitations Anymore

The positive is during those lengthy commercial times I can go to the washroom, make a coffee, check my email, and still have time to spare to get comfortable back in my lazy boy. Honestly what would we do without them? The great news is if we have finished everything possible to kill time during those commercials, then we can sit back become educated about a multitude of products and services out there. Television commercials have no limitations anymore when it comes to providing too much information. Let's be honest who doesn't want to learn about the difficulties women have holding their urine or men's erectile dysfunction problems. Isn't it super sexy for the imagination to run with?.. ..

Time Period Cinema Demands Local Talent

Despite cinematic globalization authenticity is still critical when making time-period pieces which are regional or local-specific. Brits playing American cowboys in the late 1880s is novel but historically unrealistic which detracts from the story regardless whether it's fictitious or not. Tremendous untapped local talent abounds and that's where Hollywood should mine the true artistic gold... ..

WHIPLASH - A New Film Report

I held reservations--daring to see this film. I'd seen trailers; and it looked to me as if it was a cruel, unrelenting fight between a guy who was coaching talented musicians how to endure his mean driving spirit to reach greatness. 'Who wants to suffer that?' I asked parts of myself. But having read and heard how great WHIPLASH was, I made up my mind I'd check it out. It was pretty much as I thought, but the execution-- the script, the acting and the directing-- were colossal. Starting with Damien Chazelle, the director--as well as the writer-- here rolls a film that demonstrates the whole idea of making greatness in one's students out of maniacal dedication to an excellence that the teacher holds... ..

FURY - A New Film Report

When I think about how a war movie now shows the spiritual, soul-destroying ritual of killing foes without severing the connection between mind and heart of participants, it astonishes me. How can it be possible for people-- who probably once lived simple lives of mediocre intensity-- to now be risking their lives or extinguishing others'... daily?. It's amazing! And yet we as viewers digest it all and seem to enjoy the whole panoply. I guess as long as we are not the ones getting killed or killing- and know it is, of course, only a film, something real weird kicks in; and we watch and redeem something... ..

Interstellar: The Dimension of Love

Since I like Matthew McConaughey a lot, I knew I would like his new movie, Interstellar. But three days later, I'm still thinking about the film, for several reasons: The cinematography is stunning. I loved the Nolans' 2010 film Inception; Interstellar is like that - we work to grasp what is happening. From the first scene, we're hooked-the apocalyptic scenario is strangely credible. The benevolent 'They' living in a five dimensional world may be as close as many 21st century citizens can get to an acknowledgment of God: I suspect that's more than OK with God... ..
