Text of the page (random words):
in former times as a way to ratchet up suspense and bring a little movement into what can be an otherwise static formula for this movie a prequel to the first two we have once again the wonderful lin shaye as our ghostbusting medium here though she s afraid and depressed over her deceased husband and out of the ghostbusting biz even when ridiculously cute and wholesome quinn brenner stefanie scott of disney s a n t farm comes to her looking for help in getting into communication with her dead mom elise shay gives it a shot but can t really commune with the dead since she had a run in with the demon from the first two insidious movies this actually makes sense in the context of the other two movies but where this movie is strongest is mostly where it doesn t worry too much about the other two okay with an exception for where it serves as an origin story of sorts for the ghostbusters biz featured in the previous films with elise tucker angus sampson and specs writer director leigh whannell anyway the disaffected quinn plans to run off to college to escape her overwhelmed widowed father dermot mulroney the grey j edga r zodiac who relies on her to raise his son but of course the capricious spirits of the further get in the way there are about three points in this movie where i actually uttered noise in shock two of those times i lost the popcorn i was holding it was in a tiny tray but still the boy ended up wearing it one of those times this movie does a lot of shocks and does them well there s also a bit of good horror a fair amount of suspense and even some mystery along with some new characters who while fairly stock are also reasonably developed as the boy is fond of saying these days somewhat sarcastically it may not have redefined what horror is but it was pretty damn good although he usually swears more colorfully we have a lot of theories for why moviegoers and critics are so tough on horror films but mostly we just take to ignoring them very solid freshman effort from whannell posted by blake at 9 27 pm no comments trainwreck judd apatow movies have the distinct and perhaps dubious honor of being among the raunchiest mainstream movies while also being the most subversive where 40 year old virgin challenged male promiscuity and knocked up suggested that maybe getting and staying together for the sake of a child is not such a bad thing we now have trainwreck which challenges that holiest of grails female promiscuity some time ago rather than rein in the men who are dogs a loud connected and unimpeachable group of women decided they should get to be dogs too hence this story of a woman who finds her life of drunken hookups unsatisfying is controversial i mean not to sane people of course but to well they re out there in the media you can find them without even looking too hard amy schumer stars and she wrote it sort of by cribbing the opening of shallow hal reversing typical rom com tropes and mixing in a bunch of her trademark humor which yes is reminiscent of sarah silverman and janeane garofalo in fact i was frequently reminded of a garofalo bit where she s kicking the guy out of her apartment post coitus there s a lot of what typically makes apatow films enjoyable frequent humor delivered with a sure hand not frantically or desperately and a supporting cast which doubles both as humor relief pitchers and dramatic backstops so while the cute love story between amy and aaron bill hader would be an okay chick flick like bridesmaids chick flick not beaches chick flick this movie transcends that with aaron s best friend being a very sensitive and passionate about cleveland lebron james amy s former boyfriend being the phenomenally thick and musclebound steven wrestler john cena unable to talk dirty and possibly a little confused sexually amy s dog of a father played by colin quinn having ms and being both wildly offensive and lovably human amy s sister kim played by brie larson short term 12 the spectacular now who s generally the nice one but who has unresolved resentment toward dad vanessa bayer as the work friend i ve never seen her before but she was quite appealing dave attell as the homeless guy who begs outside of amy s apartment attell may have adlibbed all his stuff it sounds so attell y randall park kim jong un in the interview and delocated s jon glaser play amy s dorky co workers at s nuff magazine mike birbiglia cedar rapids and evan brinkman have the sort of thankless task of being kim s husband and stepson respectively who must be dorky and unlovable when amy has one point of view and then endearing when she reforms there s an awesome running gag about an arty film called dogwatcher featuring a morose chain smoking daniel radcliffe as the guy walking seven dogs and a troubled marissa tomei as the woman who wants to give him one more dog tilda swinton as the evil boss and ezra miller as the odd intern swinton and miller were the contentious mother and son of the grisly we need to talk about kevin actually we ve seen so much of miller we were going nuts trying to remember where the boy and i both thought maybe he was part of the wolf pack but he had an important role as 8612 in the stanford prison experiment the perks of being a wallflower kevin and hell going back a ways city island it doesn t all work arguably lebron james makes the movie with his earnest aaron s bff performance but then he s gone from the last third of the movie he shot all his scenes in one week and there s an intervention that features a randy chris evert matthew broderick and marv alpert that broke the suspension of disbelief for me i mean i guess the one on one basketball between hader and james was stretching it but the intervention seemed sort of pointless 100 year old norman lloyd is in it that was nice raunchy though a lot of mid coitus humor a lot of post coitus humor a lot of pre coitus humor a lot of humor in non coital situations referencing coitus or other sex acts as for schumer she s not model thin and that works pretty well for her although she s not looking great next to the cheerleaders literally i mean her body looks fine but cheerleaders are top notch athletes and she doesn t come close which is played for a pretty good if overlong gag her face on the other hand well i ll grant that fox news has some great makeup people but the amy of 2015 looks a bit haggard compared to the one of 2010 i don t know if that s due to her fair complexion or if they wanted to to some degree not over glamourize her but she doesn t quite pull of the only four years older than brie larson thing she is likeable and a fine actress as comedians often are her interactions with and about her father being truly fine emotionally moving work and apparently based on her real life situation with her father anyway by this point you should probably know if you like this sort of thing this apatow humor with the condoms and the bodily fluids and what not if you do this is a reasonably good example of same posted by blake at 7 55 pm 1 comment the outrageous sophie tucker in truth the trailers for the outrageous sophie tucker were particularly uninspiring it looks cheap it sounds cheap and of course it is cheap it s a documentary after all but most documentaries try in the trailers to draw you into the story or the mystique so that you overlook the cheap these trailers are more of a ta dah you know sophie tucker ta dah and that s really how the movie itself is so i can sort of see where the critics tended to give it mixed reviews currently at 72 on rt while still siding with the regular viewers at 92 the critical detractions are mostly of the it could ve been so much better and there were certain things that i didn t care for they built up a song the angle worm wiggle and the dance for which tucker was apparently arrested for and then neither showed it nor played it nor anything really tucker played in blackface and they have a story with her grand niece calling her on it with tucker having some story about having to and getting out of it by forgetting it consider that a personal peccadillo i prefer we just admit nobody nobody white anyway thought anything of it and leave it at that dumb story outright stating hoover was a cross dresser the idea that he was a cross dresser and gay is only slightly less preposterous than the idea it was an open secret in hollywood they use the same technique for suggesting hoover was gay to suggest tucker was gay mainly hung out with a member of the same sex for decades we used to call those friends tucker s son comes off as a loser i ve mentioned here many times that hagiographies are acceptable it isn t necessary to dwell on a person s failings to make a good documentary but tucker abandoned her boy as a youngster and there s no mention of how this might have played into his future womanizing and incompetencies the recent practice of animating still photos is weird and creepy i m sure it s compelling for the producers though given the static nature of a lot of this stuff the movie ends with producer lloyd ecker choking up about tucker s death i get this a lot of work went into this project and the person feels like a friend or family member at the same time dude you weren t a friend you were some guy who read her memoir and scrap albums it s an odd choice to make your emotional response to the 30 year old death of an 80 year old woman who lived a great life the centerpiece of a scene these are pretty minor points if there s a major flaw with the film is that it absolutely sparkles when it shows clips of tucker and yet it shows very few clips and there it seems to me is the real magic that the filmmakers didn t quite bring out how does a fat homely jewish woman sing talking about how sexy she is become an international star that s amazing carol channing is in this and she has the audacity to claim that tucker was beautiful when younger but the pictures do not bear that out and by the time she appears in a movie the flop vehicle honkey tonk she s 43 years old according to the movie the near 60 year old sophie tucker was a pin up for some soldiers one of the best stories of the movie involves a gi who wanted to play the banned my yiddishe in momma in berlin well one thing movie illustrates well is that tucker was a true professional with a grasp on publicity to say nothing of a love of people that great performers have she always made her commitments she did her own books she kept a record of everyone she met and wrote them notes when she came into town she did product promotions for just about everything she had no problem singing i don t want to be thin those slender waisted women they make me laugh my goodness men like to see a little fore and aft i don t want to reduce furthermore what s the use when the men follow me around like mary s lamb the girls who talk of dieting gee they get on my nerves if you want to keep your husband straight show him a lot of curves there s some great back and forth with her pianist too keep your mind on your music i can t when you re around look where i am not i can t see that far by the way her weight according to that song is 163 which is about the weight of the average american woman but she could sing that and then sing nobody loves a fat girl but oh how a fat girl can love nobody seems to want me i m just a truck on the highway of love she had stage presence and she had it up to her final performance at the age of 79 when cancer struck her down whatever its flaws this turned out to be a really enjoyable film on the three point scale 1 subject matter interesting for sure 2 presentation fairly typical nothing especially noteworthy good or bad 3 spin the aforementioned hagiographic aspects mixed with some dubious sensational elements nothing egregious worth checking out the eckers producers of the film wrote a fictional memoir of sophie tucker which is available for purchase in the foyer 27 50 10 20 for web extras posted by blake at 7 45 pm no comments friday july 31 2015 tangerine should you ever wonder how in touch with america film critics are you could look at the reviews for tangerine about a transexual crack whore who s searching l a looking to throw down with his pimp who cheated with of all things a real woman and read the phrases old fashioned comedy and future direction for the movies and you would wonder no more although that latter phrase may have to do with the production than the content in fairness and i m already having trouble with pronouns let me get this out of the way and say yes this is a good movie the acting is good there s an actual story there s laughs there s a character arc the plot develops and resolves in a fairly interesting way for being shot entirely on iphone 5ses and costing 130k it still looks better than you know what but this is what is euphemistically called gritty gritty in a way that writer director sean baker and co writer chris bergoch tipped their hand with on their previous joint effort starlet which features a hardcore sex scene porn shoot so yeah this movie is about sin dee who went to jail taking the fall for pimp chester over some drugs only to come out and find chester who proposed right before the jailing incident was having a thing with dinah an actual woman sin dee runs all around the worst parts of los angeles hunting down this woman and finding her in cheap motel shared by a half dozen whore and their johns sin dee s companion for some of this journey is alexandra who seems relatively level headed though also the one who let slip the whole your boyfriend is cheating on you thing sin dee finds dinah as i said and kidnaps her roughing her up and dragging her across the city by her hair the two sort of bond over dinah s crack in the bathroom of a club where alexandra has paid to sing christmas tunes oh this all takes place on christmas eve day which in l a is pretty much the same as every other day although the poorly clothed dinah does end up suffering from the desert night by the end the third major player in our drama is an armenian cab driver razmik who cheats on his beautiful wife though only with transexual hookers at one point he throws out a pretty too pretty if we re talking l a streetwalkers frankly whore when he finds out she doesn t have the equipment he s interested in razmik s got a thing for sin dee and ends up trolling the streets on the night before christmas the movie climaxes when these two stories come crashing together at a donut shop on sunset and highland so there s your capsule and as i said it s fine as a movie per se but there were parts i found problematic for example i can t think of any other circumstance where a man would be allowed to abuse a woman for a good twenty minutes and have it be played for laughs sin dee kidnaps dinah which he can do because as a man he has superior strength hormones or no although the movie is generally empathetic toward its characters it felt somewhat mean toward dinah...
