Friday, October 31, 2014. BIRDMAN: A Work Of Bizarre Genius That Will Blow Audiences Away. Now playing at an indie art house near me:. BIRDMAN OR (THE UNEXPECTED VIRTUE OF IGNORANCE). Dir Alejandro González Iñárritu, 2014). Lejandro González Iñárritu’s much buzzed about fifth film BIRDMAN may be a comedy, but it’s as dark, layered, and intense as his dramas AMORES PERROS, 21 GRAMS, BABEL, and BIUTIFUL. The film, gorgeously shot by Emmanuel Lubezki (GRAVITY, THE TREE OF LIFE, CHILDREN OF MEN), is structur...

Tuesday, December 16, 2014. Blu Ray/DVD Review: Woody Allen's Not So Great Latest, MAGIC IN THE MOONLIGHT. Out today on Blu ray and DVD:. MAGIC IN THE MOONLIGHT. Dir Woody Allen, 2014). Stanley delights his audience with such classic tricks as sawing a woman in half and making an elephant disappear, then berates the crew backstage so we get a sense of his pomposity. A fellow magician, Howard Burkan (Simon McBurney), tells Stanley about a woman who claims to be clairvoyant and who may be swindling a rich ...

Monday, August 31, 2015. A Bunch Of Blu Rays and DVDs That Have Been Stacking Up. Haven’t posted as much as I would’ve liked this summer because of two big distracting factors: #1. My wife and I moved from our house in Raleigh to Clayton (roughly 20 minutes outside of Raleigh), and that was really exhausting. #2. I’ve had a few health issues over the last few months including an inflammation and a blood clot – and that’s been pretty painful. First up, there’s Philip Martin’s THE FORGER. Is a more inspire...

http://filmbabble.blogspot.com/2011/12/mission-impossible-ghost-protocol-film.html
Wednesday, December 21, 2011. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - GHOST PROTOCOL: The Film Babble Blog Review. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - GHOST PROTOCOL. Dir Brad Bird, 2011). Unless you've been living under a rock lately, you've heard about Tom Cruise's death defying stunt scaling the tallest building in the world (Dubai's Burj Khalifa) without a stuntman in the newest MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE movie. It's a pretty damn impressive feat indeed, especially as it was one of several key scenes filmed with IMAX cameras. There's no w...

http://filmbabble.blogspot.com/2014/04/full-frame-documentary-film-festival_7.html
Monday, April 07, 2014. Full Frame Documentary Film Festival 2014: Days Three and Four. I started off the third day of Full Frame the same way I had the last two with a documentary about a soberingly serious subject. In the very packed Cinema 4 (one of the large rooms in the Marriott's Convention Center) I saw Stanley Nelson's FREEDOM SUMMER. A sequel of sorts to his doc FREEDOM RIDERS, which screened at the festival in 2010. An installment of PBS's long running. The Bronx born Ortiz has parlayed his unc...

Friday, March 27, 2015. WILD TALES: 6 Stories Viciously Satirizing Human Behavior. Dir Damián Szifrón, 2014). I loved IDA, and was glad it won the Best Foreign Picture Oscar, but I totally would've been cool if Argentina's selection, Damián Szifrón's WILD TALES, opening today at an indie arthouse near me, had gotten the gold instead for 2014. A woman overhearing their conversation reveals that she was Pastemak’s elementary school teacher; another his former best friend. One by one, it turns out...The sec...

Thursday, February 26, 2015. Neko Case and Mike Nesmith Talk REPO MAN For Film Acoustic: Part 2. This is part 2 as the conversation between Neko Case and Mike Nesmith at the Carolina Theatre in Durham following a screening of REPO MAN. Earlier this week was so enjoyably rich with insights that I wanted to give it more space (click here for Part 1. Nesmith on HEAD, Bob Rafelson’s 1968 psychedelic masterpiece starring the Monkees:. What do you do with what that film is about to become? And Jack was able to...
