christian bale one year later and one father shorter posted on october 21 2012 by mcarteratthemovies it s been well over a year since my last post yet despite this passage time now after all these months i feel as though i need to offer some explanation i can t say why exactly since i don t owe the internet anything and i expect that any followers of this blog have flown the coop ages ago maybe it s an explanation of facts that i need to type out for myself so that they seem real because for the past year i ve had the feeling of living a nightmare out of space and time my father died on oct 12 after a 20 month battle with small cell lung cancer he lived 14 months longer than any of his doctors thought he would though of course at the time of diagnosis no one would put such a firm expiration date on his life perhaps it was a way to encourage him to fight that much harder perhaps it was honesty on the part of his oncologist who had no cancer crystal ball and could not really predict how long it would take the cancer to destroy his lung capacity at any rate dad stayed on chemo and occasionally radiation for much of those 20 months in fact he was overdue for his next round of chemo when he was hospitalized two weeks ago it happened this way he was doing well he was doing pretty well he couldn t breathe he got a little better he died just that quick after one excruciatingly bad night in the hospital he was gone and even though my family had 20 months to digest the idea his death happened so fast that it flattened our lives like a tornado we were grabbing up photos and papers while the sirens went off even though we knew it was too late one minute i was kissing my father goodbye in his hospital bed and the next i was in a funeral home surrounded by rows and rows of urns reeling at the thought of having to choose one as his final resting place so much of the past year has been devoted to coming to terms with this pending loss the process more or less paralyzed my writing ability and i found myself every time i sat down to compose a review at a loss for words so many words gone unwritten just like so many words gone unspoken words i should have said to my father but did not now the pending part is gone and i suppose what s left is grief plain ugly painful grief the kind there s no way of getting around the work of accepting a life where someone who was a constant fixture is missing accepting this surreal strange new world where it feels as though the rug has been ripped from underneath me only to reveal that that floor is missing as well accepting a new normal far less appealing than the old one i ll be candid i have no idea how to do any of this but i think writing will have to be a part of it because i shared a love of movies with my father and because he was always proud of my reviews no matter how many or how few people read them dad may have been a man of few words but i knew that much and i d like to think that coming back to these reviews however slowly is a way of honoring him of honoring his memory filed under random thoughts 6 comments stress posted on september 6 2011 by mcarteratthemovies once again i ve done my best willy wonka impression as quickly as i came i vanished i could make some noise about the stress of changing jobs true and dealing with family issues also true but i ll spare you from hearing that tune again let s just say that right now in the battle of blogging vs life life is taking names and kicking ass and one of those asses i m sad to say belongs to this blog so bear with me folks

on august 3 2011 by mcarteratthemovies cal steve carell gets his groove back in crazy stupid love bad santa fans prepare to meet a kinder gentler glenn ficarra and john requa indeed crazy stupid love is far removed from the booze soaked potty mouthed desperation of bad santa ficarra and requa penned the script or the all out insanity of i love you phillip morris maybe one too many ass jokes prompted the duo to venture into calmer waters with crazy stupid love a romantic comedy with strong performances and several tongue in cheek jabs at rom com gimmicks casting steve carell as cal weaver a nice but oft befuddled 40ish father and husband was the first smart move if not a stroke of genius because who could play joe husband better than carell he s got the best face in the business for communicating bemusement and heartbreak and rare is the actor who can locate humor in a moment of complete emotional devastation for cal that moment is the dinner where his wife emily julianne moore announces she s cheated on cal and wants a divorce it s one of those inherently human situations where the shock is too great to predict the emotional fallout cal s so dumbfounded he can t speak leading him to roll out of a moving car to avoid any more of emily s confessions within a few days he s moved into a grim little apartment and parked himself at a chi chi local bar yammering drunkenly about his troubles carell s i m a cuckold speech is hysterical to anyone within earshot suave ladies man jacob ryan gosling who proves adept at comedy takes pity on this unfortunately dressed soul and offers him lessons on how to rediscover his masculinity step one ditch the sneaks and khakis getup jacob and cal s unlikely friendship is a high point of crazy stupid love because it gives carell and gosling both choice character actors ample opportunities to play off each other s quite different comedic styles carell is never better than when he s playing a character who s miles outside of his comfort zone see date night or dan in real life and cal weaver is never less comfortable than when he s trying to pick up women marisa tomei has a fun cameo as cal s first post breakup score on the other end of the spectrum is gosling who tends to pick dramatic roles and do amazing things with them his comedy comes from a place of self confidence and trends toward random observational humor such as his sheepish admission to new love hannah emma stone delightful that he stole his big close the deal move straight from dirty dancing he uses the bill medley jennifer warnes song and everything that really is the appeal of carell and gosling as pals they re so dissimilar you d never match them up as a funny guy pair but together they re terrific not all the pairings in crazy stupid love work quite so well though the subplot involving cal s son robbie jonah bob and his infatuation with babysitter jessica analeigh tipton is sweet but not particularly interesting especially considering that jessica has a raging crush on cal the whole bit with her snapping nude photos to prove to him she s not a kid is just awkward kevin bacon doesn t generate much heat with moore as david lindhagen the man who effectively broke up emily and cal s marriage moore and carell do have the sometimes weary chemistry of a long married couple their scene outside robbie s parent teacher conference is wrenching still even they can t quite hold a candle to stone and gosling whose budding relationship essentially runs away with crazy stupid love these two are dynamite together and they develop a believable tentative first love kind of intimacy that s a nice juxtaposition to emily and cal s well worn but deep affection for one another even when dan fogelman s script takes a few missteps like the big speech ending it s these two relationships one winding down the other gearing up that make crazy stupid love a cut above most romantic comedies grade b filed under new stuff reviews tagged

mcarteratthemovies the brutality of george a romero s night of the living dead has little to do with gore and everything to do with atmosphere while there are scenes of violence heavily concentrated in the fim s last act they pale in comparison to the bare bones almost clinical camerawork and matter of fact story and acting what causes the dead to rise though hinted at remains uncertain the only certainty in romero s world of the living vs the undead is that survival depends on pragmatism and brutality there is no room for sentimentality or nostalgia those who waste time on either are goners only the drive to survive by any means necessary remains romero does not let his camera recoil from this ruthless reality he takes no mercy on his characters and no mercy on his audience tension hovers in the air in night of the living dead the zombie movie that defined the genre from its opening shot an unbroken take of a car puttering down a long winding road toward a rural pennsylvania cemetery barbra judith o dea and her brother johnny russell streiner have come to visit their father s grave and johnny can t resist poking fun at his sister s fear of cemeteries they re coming to get you barbra has not aged at all barbra s fear becomes real when she s attacked by a ravenous stranger johnny dies during the struggle but barbra escapes to a farmhouse there she encounters not only half eaten bodies but ben duane jones who s run out of fuel and needs shelter ben intent on surviving barricades them in the house he refuses to hide in the cellar and butts heads with another survivor harry karl hardman who wants to stay downstairs with his wife helen marilyn eastman and injured daughter karen kyra schon ben finds an ally in tom keith wayne and his girlfriend judy judith ridley who devise a plan to escape to the shelter in nearby willard their plan however goes wrong in ways both unpredictable and tragic don t get the wrong idea from the word tragedy though night of the living dead is the opposite of melodrama as the film spirals into the hellish sucker punch that is its final act the histrionics are kept to a minimum with the possible exception of o dea whose overwrought hysteria then catatonia prove grating with its grainy black and white footage night of the living dead has the gut churning immediacy of a home movie a nice touch that amplifies the tension and the horror tremendously several close up shots of the ghouls they re never called zombies here grabbing desperately at ben through gaps in a hastily boarded window are marvelously effective also ghoulish is the shot filmed in the burned pick up truck with the walking dead frantically eating the corpses smoldering inside the entire escape attempt sequence with ben and tom making a mad dash to a nearby fuel pump and judy running after them is a burst of pure desperation fueled adrenaline that s held up remarkably well possessing none of the bells and whistles of later efforts like dawn of the dead or 28 days later it s still a nail biter and it s still scary as hell it s the unrelenting bleakness of night of the living dead really that wins in the end the film s last act may be action packed but the action does not detract from the conclusion one final act of violence that somehow tops all others twists of fate don t get any darker than this or more hopeless but romero is not interested in selling hope or providing a tidy ending so he does neither this decision is just one of the many reasons why night of the living dead shocked critics and moviegoers alike and why it holds up more than 40 years later read it however you want as a criticism of 1960s america or consumerism or the horrors of the vietnam war the film lends itself to many interpretations it works on many levels not surprisingly though the film works best as a plain old horror film one that doesn t go in for short term shrieks or lazy gotcha bits romero deals in the kind of elemental
