Caesars Palace wants to lock her in for a decade-long residency. Happily, a burgeoning romance takes a backseat to the main thrust of the story—the friendship and working rapport between Grace and Maggie. Professional fulfillment for both Grace and Maggie is the crux of the conflict.
That we would all leave the movie theater or, as is the case now, the virtual movie theater smiling. The titular monsters are actually aliens—it appears to be a series of incredible coincidences that everything about them is related to clowns. As in, their spaceship is a giant circus tent. Or the fact that they turn people into cotton candy before eating them.
Coincidences, beautiful coincidences. Year: Director: Alex Ross Perry. Moss being an actress whose greatest asset is her eyes, and Perry being a filmmaker who fixates on the human gaze, Becky spends the movie staring either at other characters or into the camera.
Her eyes burn like toxic twin moons. Both movies are classics, but for different reasons. Both are far better than they need to be, two hilarious bookends that prove that sequels can be great, actually. Christianity counts the following among the signs of the Apocalypse: Death saddling up a pale horse, stars plummeting from the sky, kings hiding under rocks, and seven angels making a racket on their trumpets.
John of Patmos got it all wrong. I keep thinking about the suitcase: Skylar Talia Ryder packs sweaters and a pair of jeans into an oversized travel bag oversized, at least, for what is supposed to be a day-long trip.
When they get to Manhattan, the cousins take turns carrying the large bag, guarding it, rolling it on the sidewalk, lugging it up and down steep subway stairs. The pair has carefully planned a trip to New York so that Autumn can get an abortion without her mom Sharon Van Etten and stepdad Ryan Eggold knowing, since Pennsylvania requires parental consent for the procedure. The spiritual successor to the first two Creepshow films was the Tales from the Darkside feature film, also an anthology.
The stories are a bit ridiculous and cartoonish, even moreso than Creepshow , but fun in their own zany way.
Although honestly, my favorite aspect of Tales from the Darkside: The Movie is the anthology framing story, which involves a child chained up in the kitchen of a witch none other than Blondie herself, Debbie Harry who is planning on cooking him for dinner. Like some take on The Thousand and One Nights , the kid plays Scheherazade and distracts the witch by telling horror stories until he can engineer his escape. Why would she have a secret compartment in their closet where she can stow an away bag?
His gaze is unbroken. Cecilia knows that Adrian will always find her, and The Invisible Man is rife with the abject terror of such vulnerability.
Whannell and cinematographer Stefan Duscio have a knack for letting their frames linger with space, drawing our attention to where we, and Cecilia, know an unseen danger lurks. Year: Director: Edgar Wright. The second chapter in the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy before there was ever such a thing , Hot Fuzz is clear evidence that Edgar Wright is capable of anything.
A blockbuster action flick, a thriller, a pulp plot, a winking noir, a commentary on classism in an increasingly urbanized society—the movie is all of these things, down to the marrow of its very existence. Plus, he does so with total respect, showing that he understands their films inside and out. And in that intimate knowledge he knows even better that filmmaking is a conflagration: Best to burn it all down and see what remains than build it from the ground up.
Year: Director: Terrence Malick. You can see where this is going. We know what terror lurks in the sound of planes overhead, lost in the echo of the Alps, or what it feels like to witness someone you thought you knew saying things you never thought possible. Malick conflates history and intuition to wrap a simple message in the folds of overwhelming emotion. We realize that such inevitability is the stuff of an existence filled with deep, lived-in affection: Scored by James Newton Howard, earning every ounce of that melodrama, Malick wants us understand not what happened, but why.
Why this man refused paradise. Why paradise was his to refuse. A Hidden Life offers little consolation, but hope enough—that such courage can be more of an end that a means to one, the result of an increasingly rare time had on Earth, spent in the throes of honesty and love. Year: Director: Terry Gilliam. A cauldron of plot twists, excellent performances and environmentalism, Twelve Monkeys makes an inarguable case for inevitable human doom. Year: Director: Dee Rees. As she struggles to find a proper expression of her sexuality, she follows her out friend Laura Pernell Walker into a scene of African-American lesbians whose brash liveliness proves a bit unsettling.
Shot in Brooklyn in a vivid palette of deep primary colors, Pariah is evocative of Spike Lee at his best. However, in content, the film is distinctive in its engagement with characters who seek to belong.
The result is a thought-provoking and thoroughly entertaining addition to the canon of modern queer film. Year: Director: Quentin Tarantino. In an effort to stop the epidemic an entomologist creates a mutant breed of insect that secretes a fluid to kill the roaches.
Years later, the scientist finds out that the species have survived. The Mighty Quinn All the President's Men While researching a story about a botched burglary at the Democratic Party headquarters, journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein stumble upon a possible connection to the White House that becomes known as the Watergate scandal.
