The Film Doctor: Frances Ha, cinematic movement, and the French New Wave

http://filmdr.blogspot.com/2013/11/frances-ha-cinematic-movement-and.html

Sunday, November 24, 2013. Cinematic movement, and the French New Wave. Last June, I had the good fortune to visit New York City for a week. The first night there, I saw Frances Ha. At Lincoln Center. In comparison to my usual experience at the Regal Cineplex, the subterranean theater was austerely quiet and serene. We watched a trailer for Dirty Wars. Then, we watched Frances Ha. I was stunned. How could the rest of our visit compete with that? Musically alludes to Truffaut's Jules and Jim. Works in par...

http://filmdr.blogspot.com/2015/05/jurassic-bore-prediction-of-infinite.html

Sunday, May 31, 2015. A Prediction of the Infinite Forgettability of a Blockbuster. Keep them wanting more of the same. Chris Pratt was charming in Guardians of the Galaxy,. So let's give him another look-see.". And Jurassic Park III. Back around the time when they were born. Oh, it's a terrific ride, escaping devouring Spinosauruses! Defeated, bored, I'll let this movie, plus soda ads, claim my sad attention for a couple of summer hours. I'll watch it ironically! See them run screaming from the fast and...

Tuesday, March 3, 2009. Guns, banks, and attention to detail: notes on Bonnie and Clyde. Aside from being the film that helped Pauline Kael get her job reviewing for The New Yorker. I like to tease out Bonnie and Clyde. S allegiances to the French New Wave even as it looked forward to the triumphs (such as The Godfather. Of 1970s American cinema. Take the movie's debt to Godard's A Bout de Souffle. Both films share a photogenic couple engaged in a straightforward story of running from the law, but wherea...

http://filmdr.blogspot.com/2014/09/soda-is-cigarette-of-21st-century-7.html

Saturday, September 13, 2014. Soda is the cigarette of the 21st century": 7 notes on the pleasures of Fed Up. 1) My wife and I disagree on a key point when it comes to the new documentary Fed Up.

The Rise, Fall, and Deadly Persistence of the Product That Defined America. 2) As Fed Up. 3) "By 2050, 1 out of every 3 Americans will have diabetes.". 5) "The behaviors that we associate w...

The Film Doctor: Blood Sacrifice on the Pepsi-saurus Ride: 5 Notes on Jurassic World

http://filmdr.blogspot.com/2015/06/blood-sacrifice-on-pepsi-saurus-ride-5.html

Friday, June 19, 2015. Blood Sacrifice on the Pepsi-saurus Ride: 5 Notes on Jurassic World. 1) On May 31st, almost three weeks before the record-breaking release of Jurassic Park. I predicted the infinite forgettability. Sanitized blood sacrifice, '90s nostalgia, and amusement park ride aesthetics slightly more palatable than I expected. 2) ( spoiler alert. 3) After we realize that our heroes are safe from attack, then there's just the pleasure of counting the amount of product placements that Trevorrow ...
