EPISODE 49 - MIAMI CONNECTION




SHOW SYNOPSIS: This week the team tears into what could very be the greatest "B" movie of all time. There are ninjas, an adult "rock" band that sings songs for children, a group of bikers led by a very out of place asian man, a long lost father, and a lot of poorly hidden drugs. It's nuts. It makes no sense. It's awful. It's hilarious. It's fantastic.

EPISODE 47 - HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET




SHOW SYNOPSIS: This week the team digs in the very odd Jennifer Lawrence thriller, House at the End of the Street. Actually, digs into might not be the correct way to put it. Briefly reviews and instead babbles about a wide variety of completely unrelated subjects is far more accurate. Whey get sick of Jenn and her big round face, they chat about everyting from Fifty Shades of Grey, to a Logan's Run remake and graphic masturbation in the movie Stoker.

REVIEW - BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD




Beasts of the Southern Wild is a peculiar animal; a beast, if you will. The film’s director, Benh Zeitlin, is an avant-garde filmmaker, if there ever was one. He reportedly never looked at the film’s dailies until after they were finished with the entire movie and even prefers his crew to learn “on the job”. His technique may be (read: is) quite unorthodox, but whatever works, right? With Beasts of the Southern Wild, Zeitlin’s approach manages to work more often than it doesn’t.

The film utilizes a heavy amount of documentary-style, reportage camera work and narration, which deftly relates the film to memories of Post-Hurricane Katrina Louisiana, even as the story’s origin had nothing to do with Hurricane Katrina or even Louisiana. The film is adapted from a play called Juicy and Delicious, which is about a young boy and his father in Southern Georgia. The play was adapted by Zeitlin and its writer Lucy Alibar; the two of them were old friends and decided to make their first film together.

I tell you all of this because I think it explains everything I feel about this film. Juicy and Delicious was written by a woman (Alibar) struggling to deal with the fact that her father was sick; thusly, it came from an incredibly authentic place (Note: I haven’t seen or read the play, but I’ve read Alibar’s words on why she wrote it.). Why, you may ask, was the film set in Louisiana, if the play was set in Georgia? Well, the answer is that  Zeitlin wanted to make a film set in Louisiana. That’s it; that’s how the film feels, to me: it feels like someone wanted to make a film set in Louisiana.

What I mean by that is the film’s relentless cinema verite pursuit for Americana undercuts the humanity of its story and its central father-child relationship. As much as I admire the director’s feel for the aesthetic and appreciate his desire to examine an almost fantastical environment, I can’t divorce that from feeling the film forcing on me that it was playing a game of hide-and-seek with reality.

There were two things this film reminded me of while I watched it: the film The Tree of Life, and the book Nine Lives: Mystery, Magic, Death, and Life in New Orleans. If you’ve seen The Tree of Life, then you’re already aware of the similarities: they’re both chimerical allegories on the difficulty of dealing with loss and a father who doesn’t know how to love. As for Nine Lives, it is also written with an air of reportage storytelling and, unlike Beasts of the Southern Wild, it actually is about Post-Katrina New Orleans (and Pre-Katrina New Orleans); that fact, for me, is likely why Nine Lives is awash with authenticity, set within a world of the compulsory believability that Beasts of a Southern Wild simply can’t muster.

However, the film’s look is exceptional and the two main characters are endearing. Which brings me to the absolute best thing about Beasts of the Southern Wild: Quvenzhane Wallis, who stars as Hushpuppy, the young girl charged with surviving the symbolic bull running through the china shop of her life. Wallis turns in an inimitable performance and undeniably steals the entire film; she rightfully earned the designation of “youngest ever to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress”. Through the film’s flaws, which I feel I’ve adequately enumerated, Wallis carries you to the finish line; when the cartoonish caricatures subside and the moral of the story approaches, the character of Hushpuppy--and Wallis’ portrayal thereof-- looks you dead in the face and forces you to care immensely for her journey toward the acceptance of life.

REVIEW - LES MISERABLES




Musicals are difficult. Musical films are even harder. Sung-through musical films are nearly impossible. It’s not only that they are fraught with exigency for those making them, but it’s almost as taxing to like them. In my opinion, this is due to the frustration of trying to relate with the characters of a musical. When you see a musical live, if it’s done well, you get to experience the actors’ performances through somewhat of an osmotic process; the audience acts as a singular organism reacting to what the actors are doing. This is because it’s only the first few rows who are getting to fully appreciate the production. However, because the actors have to perform for the entire crowd, the delivery of their lines and their movements are all necessarily exaggerated. To that end, what those front rows get to appreciate may end up being a performance distractingly similar to a cop directing traffic; there‘s a reason theatrics and histrionics are synonymous. My point? Even the best live musical has a lot of obstacles to overcome before its characters can be relatable for its audience.

With musical films, everyone is in the front row. What that means is: every member of the audience can see and hear exactly what is going on; the actors don’t have to exaggerate anything, so you can get a more nuanced performance which can hopefully help you connect with the actors. The problem? Almost every musical film has chosen to have its cast pre-record their performances and then lip-sync to them on set. The reason they do this is to make sure every line is delivered clearly and to make sure every song hits the correct notes, etc. On the surface, that kind of makes sense, but the result is that you lose so much of the relatability for the audience. You can almost always tell the actors are singing to playback, and the movie basically turns into a concert (or worse, it ends up feeling like a bad music video).  My point? It is incredibly hard to make and/or like a good musical film.

This is why Les Miserables had been in “development hell” for over 20 years. Not only is it a musical film, but it’s also a period piece with extravagant set designs; if it flopped, it would lose a lot of money. That’s where Tom Hooper came in. Fresh off his success with The King’s Speech, Hooper lept at the idea of making Les Miserables. The first thing he did? Decide that everyone would be singing live on-set (well, I think the first thing he did was cast Hugh Jackman, but definitely the second thing…). The decision to have the actors sing live is daunting, of course, which is why they don’t usually do it; it is the sole reason why Les Miserables is as good as it is, though, because it worked. It freed the actors to actually act and adapt their performance to the set and to the other cast members’ performances; it let the actors become relatable. You get the intimacy of a live performance, with the authenticity of a film. Because of that decision, every emotion in Les Miserables positively jumps from the screen.

Obviously, if you don’t know the story of Les Miserables, it’s about Jean Valjean; he’s a paroled prisoner who believes his life to be unchangeable, until he’s the recipient of an act of kindness from a Bishop. From there, he changes his identity and leads a life of kindness. Javert, a prison guard (and later policeman), pursues Valjean for the entirety of their lives. I don’t want to be any more detailed, even though it’s a 150-year-old story.

Hugh Jackman plays Valjean, and he brings an earnestness to the role, and it’s endearing; you really feel that he’s a beaten man who grows to be a great man, partly due to Jackman’s natural gravitas. Russell Crowe is Javert, and much as been said about his singing in the film. I’ll just say that I didn’t think his singing was bad; it was okay, and being an okay singer surrounded by this cast of fantastic singers is going to make him seem worse than he is. What I loved about him in the role, however, is that Russell Crowe is a fantastic actor, and that’s the Russell Crowe that showed up behind the voice and, to my mind, made up for the singing. Amanda Seyfried is excellent as Cosette, a girl Valjean takes in after her mother dies. Seyfried was in Mamma Mia!, which was an example of a musical film that ended up looking like a bad music video; she was the only one in that movie who seemed to a) want to do well and b) could sing. (also, in that movie, you see Pierce Brosnan’s acting performance did not make up for his bad singing, and I like Pierce Brosnan; all the “stars” in that movie seemed to be in it just for the vacation). Eddie Redmayne was perfectly cast; not only is he a great singer, but he played Marius in a way that made him feel like a bizarro version of Jean Valjean, if Valjean had been born into a wealthy family. Samantha Barks is Eponine, and she turns in the second-best song performance of the film, with “On My Own”.

Second-best? Which one is the best? Well, first, all of the songs are great. Of course, the entire film is a song, so I can’t really go into each one, but I’ll say I loved “On My Own”; not only Barks’ performance of that song, but the way Hooper filmed that scene was mesmerizing. And “Suddenly”, which is the new song written for this film, complements the material very well; I don’t consider the Academy Award nomination that song got to be one of pageantry. I think the song is good enough that it earned the nomination.

That brings me to the absolute best performance in a film that I’ve seen in a while, maybe since Heath Ledger as The Joker in The Dark Knight: Anne Hathaway as Fantine. Maybe you’ve read Victor Hugo’s original Les Miserables novel, or maybe you’ve seen the musical performed before, or maybe you’ve seen and read every incarnation of Fantine in the history of time; you don’t know Fantine until you experience Anne Hathaway’s Fantine. I can’t even really describe how good it is, and it is wholly embodied in her performance of “I Dreamed a Dream”. I’ve heard Patti Lupone sing “I Dreamed a Dream”; I’ve listened, repeatedly, to Lea Salonga’s fantastic version of “I Dreamed a Dream”; like everyone else, I was moved when Susan Boyle belted out “I Dreamed a Dream”; but they all sound like Patti Lupone singing “I Dreamed a Dream” or Lea Salonga singing “I Dreamed a Dream”, etc. Anne Hathaway doesn’t sound like Anne Hathaway singing “I Dreamed a Dream”; she sounds like Fantine singing about her life, and it’s simultaneously heartbreaking and inspiring. I’ve heard Hathaway say something like, “To sing the pretty version felt selfish”, and I love that; it is selfish. I don’t blame anyone who has performed that song before because I feel like Hathaway was only able to make that decision because Tom Hooper wanted the songs sung live, and that resulted in Hathaway singing “I Dreamed a Dream”, I think, 20 times--live… in succession of one another. You can listen to that song and know everything that it is to be Fantine, and you hear the moment (“He took my childhood in his stride”) when Fantine’s entire life ends. You can survive for years on the sustenance provided by the quality of that scene.

As a person who doesn’t readily feel anything, I harbor no inhibition toward admitting when a film moves me, and the entirety of Les Miserables spent every bit of its two hours and forty minutes hammering on me like a raw nerve. It is an exemplary film, and it more than earns the term “movie”.

REVIEW - DJANGO UNCHAINED




Quentin Tarantino loves movies. Everyone knows this but, lest anyone ever forget, he intermittently makes one to remind us just how big of a cinephile he is. Django Unchained is no different. From the opening shot of slaves being led across a desert, the film oozes with influence only gained from a lifetime of poring over film after film and absorbing anything good they have to offer. As a result of Tarantino’s willingness to pay homage to the history of cinema, each of his film’s ultimately becomes a mishmash of virtually every genre you can imagine. Again, Django Unchained is no exception, but two genres undeniably shine through: ‘70s Blaxploitation and Spaghetti Western. Tarantino has somewhat visited both of these genres before.

Jackie Brown was Tarantino’s first foray into full-on blaxploitation film… almost. Jackie Brown had the names: Pam Grier and Sid Haig, both iconic faces of the blaxploitation genre; and it had the soundtrack, utilizing soul/R&B music from the like of Minnie Riperton and Bill Withers, as well as borrowing songs from ‘70s blaxploitation films, like Coffy and Foxy Brown (which both also starred Pam Grier). Jackie Brown had the look of a blaxploitation film, but it wasn’t really well-defined within the genre; the biggest reason being: it’s adapted from Elmore Leonard’s Rum Punch, which is wholly and unequivocally not within the genre. Jackie Brown is a great movie, but I get the feeling Tarantino always wanted to revisit the blaxploitation genre and make a legitimate blaxploitation film.

Inglourious Basterds is 100% a Spaghetti Western… almost. With its avenger protagonists who largely operate outside of two opposing forces for an ulterior motive, heroes who prove to be nearly “superhuman” with their skills (and their reputation), and several characters who are spurned to revenge by tragedy. Beyond that, the film’s soundtrack makes use of Spaghetti Western elements, and the film’s opening scene is almost identical to the opening scene from Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven. Its theatrical poster even looks reminiscent of the poster for A Fistful of Dollars. What keeps Inglourious Basterds from being firmly placed within the Spaghetti Western genre is its war setting; it’s a war film, first and foremost. Inglourious Basterds is yet another great film, but not really a Spaghetti Western.

Django Unchained feels like the culmination of, perhaps, a little frustration on just how close to those genres Tarantino got, without really utilizing them to their fullest potential; Django Unchained is, without question, Spaghetti Western Blaxploitation, a genre blend that would be a complete mess in the hands of anyone other than Quentin Tarantino.

The Spaghetti Western half of the film is delivered by Dr. King Schulz, a lone, drifting bounty hunter; an outsider (a German in the United States), who exploits two opposing enemies in order to make money. He’s not the laconic and rugged killer that is Eastwood’s “Man with No Name”, but he embodies nearly everything else you expect from the hero of a Spaghetti Western, up to and including his nearly unbelievable proficiency with guns. He’s, of course, played by the actor with an almost addictive presence, Christoph Waltz; no matter what else is happening on screen, your eye is drawn to Waltz, and it matters only what he’s doing. Waltz also played Hans Landa, in Inglourious Basterds; I’m convinced Tarantino made Dr. King Schulz a German just to be like, “I obviously know that not all Germans are bad.” Beyond Waltz’s character, the film also makes use of Western fixtures like wide-angle lens long shots, horizon-line shifting, and the quick zoom. Also, “Dr. King”, you see what Tarantino did there?

The Blaxploitation half of the film is delivered by Django, a slave. That’s really all you need to know about that character to see why he would fit perfectly in the blaxploitation protagonist role, but there’s more: he has been separated from his wife by a racist white guy (the incomparable Leonardo DiCaprio). So, he’s obviously dealing with racism and revenge. Jamie Foxx plays Django really well; Foxx is adept at playing characters who are vulnerable on the surface but brazen on the inside. The first example of this that I think of, mainly because I think it’s a great movie, is Collateral. In that, Foxx plays a weak and frightened cab driver who slowly is forced to show who he really is. The best scene of this is when Jamie Foxx’s character is pretending to be Tom Cruise’s character; that is a fantastic scene, and it illustrates exactly what I mean about Jamie Foxx and why I liked him as Django.

Outside of these things, to erase all doubt that this is a Spaghetti Western Blaxploitation film, Tarantino made up the soundtrack from songs taken from Spaghetti Westerns, like: Django, They Call Me Trinity, Day of Anger, and The Hellbenders; and he mixed them with songs from black musicians, like: 2Pac, RZA, Anthony Hamilton, John Legend, and James Brown.

In summary, Quentin Tarantino is amazing.

EPISODE 40 - BONKERS DOUBLE FEATURE




SHOW SYNOPSIS: This week the crew is tossing not one, but two really crappy movies your way! Thanks? First up is a mostly terrible70's flick about the head of a racist getting sewed onto the shoulder of a black guy and a car chase that goes on far too long titled, The Thing With Two Heads. As bad as that might sound it's not nearly as awful as Taylor Lautner's latest pile of garbage, Abduction, in which he stars as a teenahe super-spy on the run from Doc Ock's strange offerings of burgers and milkshakes.


QUOTABLE QUOTES:

"No wackiness really ensues though." - Steven

"It's a whole lot like The Blues Brothers' car chase except The Blues Brothers' car chase was good.” - John

"He's strong...he's has the strength of two heads." - John

"I loved that the bomb in the microwave was basically a few old-timey sticks of dynamite."  - Steven

Busty Pam Grier hangs out (very literally) in a teensy shirt, a naked amazon runs through the jungle while lathered in pig grease, and a bunch of crazy women hungry for dong rape a gay man. Plus Sid Haig flashes a thirty second crotch shot. Yep, it's one of those episodes..


QUOTABLE QUOTES:

"I learned that the best way to evade capture is to grease yourself up in chicken fat." - John

"Such nonchalance about a revolution. We're going to grab some dinner then get working on that whole revolution thing.” - Steven

"It was a creative way to say, oops, we're out of money." - John

"Just spread your legs and say, hey, here's some dong."  - Steven

SHOW SYNOPSIS: This week the crew reveals the top ten movies that make them weep like toddlers with poop-filled britches. John reveals to the world that he's dealing with a wealth of daddy issues and Steven seems to have a weird obsession with placing little children in situations of great peril. There's also a bit of Jamie Foxx talk, Michael Bay rears his ugly head, and the worst song in the history of songs becomes the show's new favorite soundbyte.


QUOTABLE QUOTES:

"It's an artsy kind of cry." - John

"I had to excuse myself and go cry into the toilet.” - Steven

"It is cheesy, and I like it, and I'm cheesy. " - John

"It's back to the toilet for me! Tun on the sink so no one can hear my shame!"  - Steven


ON THE NEXT EPISODE:  Something that qualifies as a movie.
