20th Century Women – Review
21 hours ago
Director Mike Mills has a knack for adding depth and consequence to seemingly inconsequential moments. 20th Century Women is about those moments – the small conversations in a bedroom with friends or a discussion in the kitchen with your mom that you didn’t know in the moment would leave such an indelible mark on your life. Mills strings together a series of short moments in a way that you get to know really know these characters. These everyday moments reveal quirks and contradiction, creating complexity; or more simply put… real characters.
Set in Santa Barbara, the film follows Dorothea Fields (Annette Bening), a single mother in her mid-50s who is raising her adolescent son, Jamie (Lucas Jade Zumann). Dorothea enlists the help of two younger women (Greta Gerwig and Elle Fanning) to help out her son when she begins to feel that he is slipping away from her.

The Founder – Review
19 January 2017 10:26 PM, PST
Here’s a most unusual entry in a genre that’s now becoming a cinema staple: the origin story. Now that term may be most associated with comic books, and many of the superhero blockbusters are just that, the story of how he, she, or they came to get their powers, whip up a costume, and so on (the recent Doctor Strange is an excellent example). Ah, but this is a true tale, almost an autobiography. There have been many “bio-origins”, from Young Mr. Lincoln to Southside With You (hmm.. both about future presidents). Yes, there’s the individual’s journey, but this flick is also about a product. The Social Network concerned Mark Zuckerberg and the creation of that website, and Steve Jobs was as much about the man as it was about the personal computer. This new movie focuses on Ray Kroc and chronicles the evolution of the fast food restaurant industry, »

Split – Review
19 January 2017 4:50 PM, PST
They showed the trailer for Split at a screening a few months back. When the words ‘from the Director of The Sixth Sense’ popped up, there was an audible groan from the audience. Such was the state of the beleaguered director, but after last year’s fun The Visit, and now the wicked and witty thriller Split, his best in years, M. Night Shyamalan’s fortunes are looking up. After minimal set-up involving a parking lot abduction, three teen girls wake up in a locked, windowless room. Two of the girls (Haley Lu Richardson and Jessica Sula) are friends, while the third, Casey (Anya Taylor Joy) is an outsider. Their captor is Kevin (James McAvoy), who proceeds to both terrify and confuse them. One minute he’s Barry, a fey Brit, the next he’s a woman named Patricia, then he’s Hedwig, a nine-year-old boy, and then he’s Dennis, »

Tower – Review
18 January 2017 9:41 PM, PST
One of 2016’s best documentaries is another look at a seminal moment in America’s struggle with crime and violence. Like many previous docs, it’s an examination of a mass murder. Now basic cable TV channels (and network “newsmagazines”) are filled with such, now almost commonplace, events. What makes this film unique is the subject, namely the very first mass shooting just over fifty years ago. The other aspect that makes this work is special is its approach and use of a high-tech upgrade of a movie device that dates back over 90 years. This enables the film makers to expertly transport us to that hot summer day in 1966, as a madman spewed death from the top of a college Tower.
Director Keith Maitland, like many documentarians, makes use of archival news footage and radio recordings to convey the horror of Charles Whitman’s rampage at the University of Texas. »
