The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: Criterion Collection
May 4, 2009
For years now, the Academy Award has eluded David Fincher despite the consistently good work that he has produced. Films like Seven (1995) and Fight Club (1999) were too extreme for the play-it-safe Academy voters and The Game (1997) and Panic Room (2002)...
Burn After Reading
December 19, 2008
As they did with Fargo (1996), the Coen brothers followed up the Academy Award-winning crime thriller No Country For Old Men (2007) with a comedy, in this case Burn After Reading (2008), a farce set in Washington, D.C. The Coens have adhered to the pattern...
Babel
March 21, 2007
The new wave of Mexican cinema officially arrived in 2006 with the presence of its three most well-known representatives at the 2007 Academy Awards: Alfonso Cuaron, Guillermo del Toro and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu. All three directors had films nominated...
Mr. and Mrs. Smith: Unrated
June 6, 2006
Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005) is one of those critic-proof movies. It’s a big, loud action movie starring two of the biggest movie stars on the planet – Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Both, incidentally, were in need of a box office hit as Pitt was coming...
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
February 8, 2006
You can see why the tabloids had a field day over the “alleged” romance between Pitt and Jolie. Their chemistry in Mr. and Mrs. Smith is nothing short of electric. It’s sad then that the focus was on their private lives rather than the film...
Ocean’s Twelve
September 30, 2005
With big budget, star-studded casts like the one in Ocean’s Twelve (2004), there is always the danger of having them look too smug and self-indulgent instead of having fun along with the audience. Ocean’s Eleven (2001) managed to straddle this line...
Troy
July 19, 2005
Since the surprise success of Gladiator (2000) there have been several sword and sandal epics that have tried to replicate its glory. None have come close. One of Hollywood’s most recent attempts has been Troy (2004), a fast and loose adaptation of...
True Romance Director’s Cut
December 11, 2003
Originally this was to be Tarantino’s directorial debut, but as it turned out it was Tony Scott who used the film to prove to the world that his success with Top Gun was not just a fluke and that he is more than just Ridley’s younger brother....
True Romance
November 18, 2003
In the early nineties director Tony Scott was given two scripts to read by a young new screenwriter, one of them was True Romance and according to Scott it was “one of the fullest and most accomplished scripts that I’d ever read”. Jump...
