Trailer for Terence Davies’s ‘The Deep Blue Sea’
Posted on Tuesday, February 28, 2012 at 6:53 pm by Danny King in the Videos categoryWhat Should Win Tonight
Posted on Sunday, February 26, 2012 at 2:49 pm by Danny King in the Awards categoryI posted my final predictions for the Academy Awards yesterday, and I thought it appropriate to further anticipate tonight’s festivities by sharing my “should win” picks in each category. (Though, having not seen all of the nominees, I have abstained … Continue reading
Oscar Predictions: Wrapping it Up
Posted on Saturday, February 25, 2012 at 2:30 pm by Danny King in the Awards categorySunday will bring us the 84th Academy Awards, and with it, the end of an awards season that began with an intriguing open-endedness — “surely that black-and-white silent thing from France won’t hang on forever,” seemed to be the status … Continue reading
Trailer for Michael Knowles’s ‘The Trouble with Bliss’
Posted on Thursday, February 23, 2012 at 12:28 am by Danny King in the Videos categoryThe trailer for Michael Knowles’s The Trouble with Bliss, recently debuted over at Apple, is rather stale for my taste, but the indie dramedy has received a handful of festival notations on its path to theatrical distribution and I’m interested … Continue reading
Movie Review: ‘Undefeated’ (2012)
Posted on Tuesday, February 21, 2012 at 1:52 pm by Danny King in the Reviews categoryThe voice of Bill Courtney — powerful and punctuated, resolute and fearless — permeates every ounce of Undefeated, a marvelously spirited high school football documentary from Daniel Lindsay and T.J. Martin. A businessman by day, Courtney, whose love for football … Continue reading
Movie Review: ‘This Means War’ (2012)
Posted on Saturday, February 18, 2012 at 3:06 pm by Danny King in the Reviews categoryIn the opening scene of McG’s This Means War, CIA agents played by Tom Hardy and Chris Pine float undercover through a high-class rooftop party. About a minute in, Til Schweiger (you’ll recognize him from Inglourious Basterds, where he was … Continue reading
Movie Review: ‘Chico & Rita’ (2012)
Posted on Thursday, February 16, 2012 at 12:18 am by Danny King in the Reviews categoryChico & Rita, which is fresh off receiving an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Film, is nothing if not a visual delight. Charting an oft-tested love story that stretches across the globe, the film renders multiple hotspots — notably, Havana, … Continue reading
Trailer for Justin Kurzel’s ‘The Snowtown Murders’
Posted on Tuesday, February 14, 2012 at 11:34 pm by Danny King in the Videos categoryApple has debuted the trailer for Justin Kurzel’s The Snowtown Murders, which is every bit as promising a directorial debut as last year’s Sean Durkin-helmed Martha Marcy May Marlene. During its festival run, the film was billed simply as Snowtown … Continue reading
Movie Review: ‘The Turin Horse’ (2012)
Posted on Thursday, February 9, 2012 at 1:37 pm by Danny King in the Reviews categoryThe opening event of Béla Tarr’s The Turin Horse may, perhaps, set up false expectations for many a viewer — set over a pitch-black screen, a coarse-grained voice-over recounts the demise of the life of Friedrich Nietzsche, which, according to … Continue reading
Trailer for Tony Gilroy’s ‘The Bourne Legacy’
Posted on Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at 9:41 pm by Danny King in the Videos categoryI still don’t really get why The Bourne Legacy is being made, and the film’s first trailer — released today via Apple — does little to shell that suspicion. It runs an intentionally cryptic two minutes long, and, to me, … Continue reading
