Outside Providence (1999)

November 30, 2018November 27, 2018 ~ Matt ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Michael Corrente There are a ton of needle drops in Outside Providence, and just about every song on the soundtrack to the 1974-set film is a classic.  The film is more or less a series of montages of young love set to the likes of The Who, Wings, The Eagles, Steely Dan, The Doobie … Continue reading Outside Providence (1999)

Poltergeist (1982)

November 29, 2018November 27, 2018 ~ Matt ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Tobe Hooper/Steven Spielberg In Poltergeist a vengeful spirit takes over a suburban household and won't leave.  At first it's a novelty, providing one of the more amusing moments of the film in which the family plays with the mysterious forces that we as a movie audience know to run away from.  Then a tree … Continue reading Poltergeist (1982)

The Rover (2014)

November 28, 2018November 27, 2018 ~ Matt ~ Leave a comment

Directed by David Michôd It's ten years after the "collapse," somewhere in Australia, and a sullen figure, Eric (Guy Pearce), just wants his car back.  It's stolen from him by a ragged group of survivors, and Eric will spend the rest of the film tracking them down. To do this he enlists the help of … Continue reading The Rover (2014)

The Ritual (2017)

November 27, 2018November 26, 2018 ~ Matt ~ Leave a comment

Directed by David Bruckner Luke (Rafe Spall) and three friends set out on a trek through the Swedish mountains to honor their late friend, Rob, who was killed six months previous in a botched robbery which Luke himself survived and due to which now experiences extreme survivor's guilt. When one in the group twists his … Continue reading The Ritual (2017)

The Fog (1980)

November 26, 2018November 1, 2018 ~ Matt ~ Leave a comment

Directed by John Carpenter It's a simple story.  In a small coastal town it's the 100th year to the day that the town was born and something spooky once happened.  As a result there is a ghostly curse which calls for six people to die, and the quickly established cast of characters must buck the … Continue reading The Fog (1980)

Mid90s (2018)

November 25, 2018October 31, 2018 ~ Matt ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Jonah Hill Mid90s is the latest in a welcome trend of personal movies made by people who care about what they're saying.  Standing in contrast to the remakes, superhero movies  and CGI-laden action movies, they are unique in their own way, still sharing certain similarities that speak to the overlap in the human … Continue reading Mid90s (2018)

The Old Man & the Gun (2018)

November 24, 2018October 30, 2018 ~ Matt ~ Leave a comment

Directed by David Lowery The Old Man & the Gun is a cross between a Robert Redford homage and a David Lowery movie.  This means that we get a story about a charismatic, good 'ol fashion livin' handsome bank robber complete with a purposefully 1970's aesthetic as well as a sweet, at times melancholic but … Continue reading The Old Man & the Gun (2018)

First Man (2018)

November 23, 2018October 30, 2018 ~ Matt ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Damien Chazelle When Apollo 11 hurdles its way to the lunar surface the camera remains inside the module, cramped in there along with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.  Other movies would cross cut between the two astronauts, the Houston control room and Armstrong's nervous wife, Janet, but First Man doesn't give us such breathing … Continue reading First Man (2018)

Rampage (2018)

November 22, 2018October 29, 2018 ~ Matt ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Brad Peyton San Andreas must've been a hit because director Brad Peyton and Dwayne Johnson are at it again, this time destroying a CGI-rendered Chicago.  The antagonist this time isn't a natural disaster but unnaturally large predators in the style of Godzilla and King Kong.  Along with the giant lizard creature and giant … Continue reading Rampage (2018)

Six Days, Seven Nights (1998)

November 21, 2018October 29, 2018 ~ Matt ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Ivan Reitman Six Days, Seven Nights is essentially Frank Capra's Cast Away, combining the trapped on an island plot with the romantic comedy of It Happened One Night.  Like with that movie the two romantic leads must first hate each other in order to establish that fine line which then gives way to love. The … Continue reading Six Days, Seven Nights (1998)
