We Are Movie Geeks

THE NOTEBOOK (Le Grand Cahier) – The Review

This week’s big studio release, THE GOOD LIE, gives us a look at a current conflict or war starting from the viewpoint of children (and following them as adults in the US). For this new foreign film we journey back several decades to see a war, World War II to be precise, through the eyes of children over in Europe, much as in 2008’s WINTER IN WARTIME. While that was through the viewpoint of one pre-teen boy, this new film concerns two pre-teen boys, twins who share an intense unspoken bond. Hopefully movie goers will not be confused by the English translation of the title, for this has very little in common with the tear-jerker from ten years ago, although this one is pretty darn sad. Its original title is LE GRAND CAHIER, Hungarian for THE NOTEBOOK.

As the film begins we meet the twins (Lazlo and Andras Gyemant) on a very happy day. It is 1944 and their soldier Father is back on leave at the lush apartment home they share in a bustling Hungarian city. But the joy is short-lived. When Father returns to battle, Mother realizes that she cannot keep them at home. They board a train to a distant rural village where she takes the boys to the farm run by her bitter, estranged mother whom the townspeople call “The Witch” (Piroska Molnar). After a terse reunion, Mother leaves her heartbroken sons in care of their cruel, sadistic Grandmother who refers to them as “Bastards”. Over the next few months the twins decide to toughen themselves by fasting and beating each other (this perplexes the German officer that takes lives in the garden shed). Besides the officer, the twins befriend a thieving, disfigured neighbor, a lustful deacon, his spiteful maid, and a sympathetic Jewish shoemaker. As the seasons change, the boys harden as they come to the realization that they can only survive this life on their own resolve.

The film conveys the misery of occupied existence so well it almost reminded me of the old “gentleman’s club” sketch from Monty Python in which rich old stiffs, while smoking cigars and swilling brandy, tried to one up each other with tales of their terrible childhood (“Each day we’d wake up before we went to bed, trudge two hours to…”). Not to trivialize the drama, but things never seem to get better. As the story progresses we see the light seep out of the boys’ eyes until they’ve retained a permanent dead-eyed stare. This scares those who believe that twins are cursed, while others seem to be drawn toward them, as if mesmerized. The suffering is almost too much to witness, but we also see that incredible love they share. No one, nothing will separate them. We also see how war drains the life force from a town. This is perfectly presented by the cinematography of Christian Berger who paints the harsh, cold land as a purgatory on Earth. Director Janos Szasz never gives in to sentiment, instead showing us how no adversity can extinguish that spark of determination that propels them to survive, to rise up once more. The will to live fills each page and frame of THE NOTEBOOK.

Watch The First Trailer For Clint Eastwood’s AMERICAN SNIPER Starring Bradley Cooper

Warner Bros. Pictures and Clint Eastwood reunite again this year for the drama AMERICAN SNIPER. The studio and Oscar-winning director recently brought to the big screen this summer’s musical JERSEY BOYS.

Starring Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller, Jake McDorman, Luke Grimes, Navid Negahban, Keir O’Donnell, the film will be in limited release on December 25.

AMERICAN SNIPER joins the list of other war-themed movies, FURY and UNBROKEN, as well as the January release of the critically acclaimed LONE SURVIVOR, in 2014. David Ayer’s WW2 Sherman Tank movie will be in theaters on October 17, while director Angelina Jolie’s epic drama on the life of war hero Louis “Louie” Zamperini opens on Christmas Day. All three films will most likely be embraced by the guilds and Academy voters as we head into awards season.

In AMERICAN SNIPER, Bradley Cooper stars as Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history.

But there was much more to him than his skill as a sharpshooter. U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle is sent to Iraq with only one mission: to protect his brothers-in-arms. His pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield and, as stories of his courageous exploits spread, he earns the nickname “Legend.”

However, his reputation is also growing behind enemy lines, putting a price on his head and making him a prime target of insurgents. He is also facing a different kind of battle on the home front: striving to be a good husband and father from halfway around the world. Despite the danger, as well as the toll on his family at home, Chris serves through four harrowing tours of duty in Iraq, personifying the SEAL creed to “leave no man behind.” But upon returning to his wife, Taya Renae Kyle (Sienna Miller), and kids, Chris finds that it is the war he can’t leave behind.

The film’s screenplay is by Jason Hall, based on the book by Chris Kyle, with Scott McEwan and Jim DeFelice.

GONE GIRL – The Review

Smart, dark, and dangerous, GONE GIRL shows that a contemporary whodunit can still rivet sophisticated modern audiences. Director David Fincher presents a dual storyline that unearths the dirty secrets at the heart of a modern marriage from both sides while spoofing the frenzy of modern tabloid media. Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) is a recently unemployed journalist forced home from New York to Southwest Missouri to take care of his dying mother. When she passes, he opens ‘The Bar’ with his twin sister, Margo (Carrie Coon), which gives him a place to drink in the morning. Amy (Rosamund Pike), once the young inspiration for a popular children’s book character, is Nick’s out-of-his-league wife, a trust-fund princess too good to be trapped in cow-town Missouri (and to add insult to injury, GONE GIRL was filmed in Rush Limbaugh’s hometown!!). On the occasion of their fifth wedding anniversary, Nick reports Amy missing. Under pressure from the police and growing media assault, Nick’s portrait of a blissful union begins to crumble and soon his lies, deceits and strange behavior begin to implicate him. Is Nick a cold-blooded killer who’s murdered his wife, or is there another explanation?

GONE GIRL relies on twists, so I’ll just say the screenplay by Gillian Flynn (from her novel) is watertight, as this type of mystery must be, and the performances are all top-notch. The scenes with Nick professing his innocence at press conferences on his front lawn and TV appearances are highlights. Affleck has always been a less likeable presence than many of his handsome A-list contemporaries. With what Amy calls his “villainous chin”, Nick’s not nearly as smart as he thinks he is and Affleck is perfectly cast. I’ve had it bad for Rosamund Pike since she played Miss Frost in that last Brosnan 007. I’ve watched her ethereal beauty in minor roles since but her revelatory turn in GONE GIRL should push her into A-list territory (and I suspect garner her an Oscar nom), though it’s dangerous to describe the details of her perf without spoiling the film’s tricks. Unknown (at least to me) actress Carrie Coon is outstanding in the meaty role of Nick’s voice-of-reason sister. Tyler Perry, usually a distraction when he’s not wearing a dress, is excellent as Nick’s media-savvy attorney, and check out Missi Pyle as a Nancy Grace clone who, try as she may, still can’t quite nail the repulsiveness that is Nancy Grace. GONE GIRL occasionally borders on trashy melodrama, especially with the introduction of Neil Patrick Harris as Desi Collings, a creepy St. Louis rich boy with his own weird Amy fetish and Trent Reznor’s unconventional score often veers into horror film territory. GONE GIRL is a grim but satisfying crowd-pleaser and if an Oscar-bait tale of murder, betrayal, and deception from David Fincher doesn’t get you out to the theaters, then you’re already dead.

THE GOOD LIE (2014) – The Review

As the temps continue to fall, the studios inch closer to serious film time (and Oscar season) by releasing another movie with the nebulous ad line “inspired by true events”. That phrase has been attached to everything from the Nicholas Sparks adapted weeper THE VOW to sports flicks such as MILLION DOLLAR ARM, often basing the story on just part of an incident. But for this new release the phrase could be amended to “inspired by ongoing true events”. Like 2011’s MACHINE GUN PREACHER, this new film concerns the ongoing conflicts in the Sudan in North Africa. Now the title of this new film is somewhat ironic. It refers to a literary work read by one of the characters, but the title could also be a comment on the film’s marketing, which we’ll discuss a bit later. First let’s explore THE GOOD LIE.

This begins a couple of decades ago in an arid desolate Sudan village. When the quiet is shattered by a heavily armed band of soldiers, a group of now orphaned children scatter into the underbrush. They are now united as brothers and sisters in the long trek to survival and hopefully freedom. During the grueling walk they must resort to desperate measures. After losing brothers to disease and another to the roaming soldiers (he gives himself up in order to let the others escape), the journey ends when they finally reach a refugee camp in neighboring Kenya. Flash forward to 2000 as the core trio of brothers Mamere (Arnold Oceng), Jeremiah (Ger Duany), and Paul (Emmanel Jal) along with sister Abital (Kuoth Wiel) have made the list of those being sent to America thanks to several humanitarian groups. Arriving at the first US airport the brothers are saddened to learn that they will be going to Kansas City while Abital has been assigned hundreds a miles away in Detroit. Mamere insists that soon they will be reunited. Landing in KC they are picked up by frazzled job agency counselor Carrie (Reese Witherspoon). Soon, with the help of her pal Jack (Corey Stoll), each of them is working. But their struggles don’t end. Aspiring pastor Jeremiah is disgusted by the waste at his grocery store gig, while Paul picks up some bad habits from his co-workers on the assembly line at a plumbing supply company. The most troubled may be Mamere. In between his jobs and college classes in pursuit of a medical degree, he’s haunted by memories of his former life. A letter in the mail inspires him to return to Kenya where he makes a most momentous life-changing decision.

In discussing the cast I supposes we should begin with the person most prominent in the adverts (again, more about that later) Oscar-winner Witherspoon. Her charm helps us get past her character’s initial insensitivity and cluelessness toward the trio new to the USA. She shows us a woman who treats people as merely a job or assignment until, despite early frustrations, they melt her hardened heart. Of the threesome, Oceng has perhaps the more dominant and emotional role. His Mamere shoulders the responsibility for the group and the resolve to keep them together, almost as a dad to the other two. He keeps a brave face while being the one that may be most consumed by survivor’s guilt. We see the sadness in his eyes while he struggles in the new land. Duany is the gentle giant with a sunny smile lit by his child-like faith and optimism. This makes his clash over his employer’s callous policies most surprising. If he is the sweet-natured child of the family then Jal is the surly rebellious teen, chafing at the wishes of his father figure (“You are not ny Chief!”). We root for him to put the brakes on his downward spiral. Stoll is warm and patient as the befriending farmer while Sarah Baker scores several laughs as a caring church volunteer who’s not above kicking back a couple of brews at the end of a long day with Reese’s Carrie.

So, here’s my take on the title. The way the producers are selling the film is the big lie, but it’s a good one. Witherspoon takes up a third of the poster, but doesn’t show up until well past the film’s thirty minute mark. She’s being sold as the “star”. The trailers and TV spots feature her predominately along with whimsical clips of the young men adjusting to America (they think there are lions on the farm!) that evoke a fish-out-of-water CROCODILE DUNDEE vibe. But this is not the case at all. In the film’s first act, each child endures more cruelty and hardship than any five average Americans. Kudos to director Philipe Falardeau and screenwriter Margaret Nagle for not watering down the horrors inflicted by the brutal civil war. They also show us that life here doesn’t erase those memories. It’s not a series of zany misadventures. Presenting that in the ads may have prevented the film from reaching a large segment of the audience blissfully unaware of the ongoing struggles of these brave people. So if the marketeers were able to educate film goers, then that strategy is, indeed, THE GOOD LIE.

Fantastic Fest 2014: ABC’S OF DEATH 2 – The Review

You would think that after THE ABC’s OF DEATH gathered so many of the most talented horror directors working in the business, that the well might be a little dry to go back for a second time around. ABC’s 2 proves that there are many talented voices working in the genre. The second entry may not have as many flashy names as the first did (Ben Wheatley, Ti West, Jason Eisener, and Adam Wingard), but it brings together a number of gifted directors that have started to break through in recent years and some that definitely should be well-known names.

What’s so great about ABC’s 2 is that there are so many highlights. Things kick off with a bang with the letter “A.” Quite literally actually. “A is for Amateur” is an entertaining blend of pipe-dream fantasy and reality that delivers a comedic blow to the head. Kristina Buozyte (VANISHING WAVES) directed one of my favorite shorts – “Knell.” An isolated woman suddenly notices from her apartment window a strange alien force affecting a neighboring apartment building. What happens next is more artistic and dreamlike than most of the shorts in this collection. Veteran indie filmmaker Larry Fessenden structures his short around Halloween in New York. His fast-paced editing and filmic style fits well with a story about time and consequence. Later on a zombie court case is equally ironic as it is emotional. “Utopia” is a purposefully slick look at a future society where perfection is strictly enforced. A journey into the “real” world of kid’s cartoon characters left me with a grin ear to ear during the short “Wish.” The film comes to an end with my favorite short of the entire series. “Z is for Zygote” is from relatively unknown short film director Chris Nash. The less said about this twisted fantasy tale the better, but I will admit that it delivered one of the most horrific moments I have ever witnessed in a theater.

Like the first ABC’s before it, this film creates a kaleidoscope of death and horror that feels like you are watching an all night horror marathon. There are so many different genre styles on display that there is a little something that will appeal to everyone’s taste. The marketing for this series has always placed an emphasis on the deaths. With that in mind, I felt that this entry doesn’t quite live up to the slogan “26 new ways to die.” Many of the deaths aren’t as creative as you would expect, and even aren’t as memorable as a few of the kills from the first film. That being said, this group of shorts at least exists on the same level of quality. The first film had such high highs and low lows. Looking back, there are only a few that stand out above the rest in the first ABC’s. Some may say the same about the sequel, but I found that almost all – except for a few derivative and predictable ones – were solid horror shorts that make up a more cohesive and entertaining collection.

Clever titles end many of the shorts with a witty punch line. It starts to become a game to try to guess what the letter is going to stand for. With what appears to be a higher budget and better production overall, ABC’s OF DEATH 2 delivers some exciting stories that manage to use their five minute or less run-time quite well. Sadly, only a few end with an imaginative approach to death, but I can at least say that the sequel far exceeds its predecessor in terms of overall quality and even gives audiences some new directors to keep an eye out for in the future.

Overall rating: 3.5 out of 5

Check Out The First Trailer For Disney•Pixar’s INSIDE OUT

Check out the new teaser trailer for Disney/Pixar’s INSIDE OUT.

From an adventurous balloon ride above the clouds to a monster-filled metropolis, Academy Award-winning director Pete Docter (“Monsters, Inc.,” “Up”) has taken audiences to unique and imaginative places. In Disney•Pixar’s original movie “ Inside Out,” he will take us to the most extraordinary location of all—inside the mind.

Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it’s no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions – Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith). The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley’s mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley’s main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school.

Director Pete Docter is the Academy Award-winning director of “Up.” He made his directorial debut with Disney•Pixar‘s smash hit “Monsters, Inc.,” which was nominated for an Academy Award for best animated feature film. Along with John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton, Docter developed the story and characters for “Toy Story,” Pixar‘s first full-length feature film, for which he also served as supervising animator. He served as a storyboard artist on “A Bug’s Life” and wrote the initial story treatment for “Toy Story 2.” As one of Pixar Animation Studios’ key creative contributors, Docter garnered an Academy Award nomination for his original story credit on Disney•Pixar’s Golden Globe- and Oscar-winning WALL•E.

Jonas Rivera produced the Academy Award-winning “Up,” for which he was nominated for best picture. Prior to “Up,” he had worked on nearly every Pixar film since joining Pixar Animation Studios in 1994, beginning with “Toy Story” for which he served as production office assistant. His subsequent credits include “A Bug’s Life” (as art department coordinator), “Toy Story 2” (as a marketing and creative resources coordinator), “Monsters, Inc.” (as art department manager) and the Golden Globe-winning “Cars” (as production manager).

INSIDE OUT opens in theaters June 19, 2015

STEPHEN KING’S A GOOD MARRIAGE – The Review

Steven King’s books and films are rife with zombie babies, witches, vampires and werewolves. This lengthy list of creatures now includes your average next door neighbor, the serial killer.

In STEPHEN KING’S A GOOD MARRIAGE, Darcy (Joan Allen) and Bob (Anthony LaPaglia) Anderson, a happily married couple, are enjoying a 25th anniversary party hosted by their two children. Their daughter is getting married in a few weeks. The Andersons are empty nesters with a lovely home, Bob has a successful job as an accountant and is a coin collector – theirs seems to be picture perfect marriage, except for one thing… Bob is a serial killer. He’s brutally murdered 12 women and goes by his alter-ego, “Beadie”. He’s also been taunting Maine’s Attorney General with notes signed from him since his first killing in 1980.

Afterwards, the couple returns home for a personal celebration and Darcy talks of buying Bob an elusive 1955 penny as an anniversary present. Earlier in the evening he gave her fish earrings as a gift because she’s a Pisces. The next rainy evening while her husband is away on one of his many business trips, Darcy looks for batteries for the tv’s remote control in the garage. She also discovers the ID’s of the murdered women underneath the workbench hidden behind a carved out board. Bob has concealed the evidence in a craft box keepsake that his daughter made for him years ago. Everything begins to add up. It’s here that the Darcy asks, “How could I be living with this monster all these years and not know?” But more importantly, what happens if he finds out?

Written by Stephen King, the film is adapted from his short story “A Good Marriage” from the collection “Full Dark, No Stars”. King says the inspiration came after reading an article about Dennis Rader, the infamous BTK (bind, torture, and kill) murderer. King also stated that he wanted to “explore the idea that it’s impossible to fully know anyone, even those we love the most.”

Joan Allen is amazing in the film and to see her back on the screen is a welcomed sight. The heavy, emotional depth which her character travels is understated, yet powerful. The Oscar nominated actress delivers another superb performance as her character transforms from victim to survivor. Anthony LaPaglia gives a whole new meaning to serial killer. His every guy persona is alluring and deadly. LaPaglia’s is eerily convincing as Bob the husband, the father and the insane murderer.

Cinematographer Frank G. DeMarco’s mix of over the head/from down below camera angles turn up the chills, as well as the gravity of Darcy’s situation. The pacing all adds to the anxiety as it slowly builds throughout director Peter Askin’s mesmerizing film.

Steven King is literally like a fine wine. His stories keep getting better with age. While watching the movie, you can literally hear the author telling the story around a campfire while hanging on his every word. Whether you’re watching at home – grab your blanket or if you’re at the cinema, cuddle up with someone. STEPHEN KING’S A GOOD MARRIAGE is a suspenseful, edge-of-your seat thriller and will keep you guessing until the final frame.

3 1/2 stars
