Battle: Los Angeles
9th March 2011 (msn.com)
It's somewhat surreal to step onto the Baton Rouge set of the new Columbia Pictures sci-fi action epic "Battle: Los Angeles" and find yourself in a recreation of downtown Santa Monica, 2,000 miles from the actual Los Angeles coastal community. But that's the scene as a group of us disembark from a shuttle van at Raleigh Studios to observe a day of filming on the set of director Jonathan Liebesman's alien-invasion film.

It's easy for classic movie lovers to be nostalgic for Hollywood's "Golden Age" of the 1930s and '40s. And many cineastes will tell you that film as an art reached its peak in the late '60s and early '70s. But the truth is there have been remarkable movies made in the 1990s and 2000s.

"No matter whether the movie is a giant hit or not, you keep putting 100 percent of yourself into everything you do, and never work for money — only for passion, "he said. "And no matter what opinion Hollywood has of you, the fans never forget if you never forget them."

A Young Director Brings a Spaceship and a Metaphor in for a Landing
7 August 2009 (nytimes.com)
Less than 24 hours after losing out on the movie of his career, Neill Blomkamp found the other movie of his career.
In 2006 Mr. Blomkamp, a young director of commercials and shorts, was plucked from obscurity to direct a big-budget feature based on the best-selling Halo video games, endorsed by no less than Peter Jackson, the “Lord of the Rings” filmmaker. But weeks after Mr. Blomkamp was hired, the project was abruptly shelved by its Hollywood backers.

Steven Soderbergh: 'I can see the end of my career'
15 July 2009 (guardian.co.uk)
Steven Soderbergh doesn't sound fine. A bad telephone line between London and Los Angeles isn't helping, but it's not wholly to blame for that air of tired resignation. That crept into his voice as soon as he started talking about Che, his two-part, four-and-a-half-hour-long biopic of Ernesto Guevara.

Observe and Report (2009)
10 April 2009 (nytimes.com)
Movie Review
If you thought Abu Ghraib was a laugh riot then you might love “Observe and Report,” a potentially brilliant conceptual comedy that fizzles because its writer and director, Jody Hill, doesn’t have the guts to go with his spleen. The story, in short, turns on a psycho shopping mall security chief, Ronnie (Seth Rogen, putting the lump into lumpen proletariat), who rules his retail roost with a Taser, a trigger-hair temper and some smiley-faced sycophants. Like the pettiest of dictators, Ronnie preys on the weak in the service of power (in this case the mall itself). He’s the Lynndie England of this dumber-and-dumbest yukfest.

Ticks, Ennui and (Sigh) the Dream Girl Next Door
8 April 2009 (nytimes.com)
Sometime late in “Lymelife” the director Derick Martini cuts to a close-up of a weeping teenager with a shot so tightly framed you can see the glistening curves of the tears clinging to the boy’s eyelashes. It’s an unexpectedly moving image, a reminder that the close-up, in its ability to bring us near to the poetry of the human face, remains one of cinema’s most potent if often squandered techniques. (Television has largely helped us forget just how potent.) Those tears transform the teenage character, Scott Bartlett (Rory Culkin): they briefly strip away the clichés encrusting him and offer us a glimpse of the real.

Coming of Age on the Midway
3 April 2009 (nytimes.com)
Movie Review
It’s the summer of 1987. The stock market crash is a few months off, but for James Brennan (Jesse Eisenberg) things have already taken a recessionary turn. His father (Jack Gilpin), a wilted, weak-chinned alcoholic, has been demoted, and the resulting financial pinch puts the kibosh on James’s rather modest postcollegiate dream of a summer in Europe followed by graduate school at Columbia. (His sights were set on journalism school, and given what his midcareer, 40-something self would be facing two decades later, it’s probably just as well he didn’t go.)

Accidental Tourists, on a Train to Eternity
31 march 2009 (nytimes.com)
Anyone who travels regularly by New York subway has experienced a moment when your heart lurches along with the train as it slams to a stop between stations. You tell yourself to stay cool and that you’ll be moving again soon, but a panicked little voice inside keeps whispering, “You’ll never get out of here.” Give points to “Happiness,” an anxious smiley face of a musical set in a stalled subway car, for reproducing those sensations with eerie exactness. At around the same point its characters register that they can’t escape their underground prison in this Lincoln Center Theater production that opened on Monday evening at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater, directed by Susan Stroman, you begin to grasp a similarly uncomfortable realization.

Threat Level's 10 Favorite Paranoid Films
31 march 2009 (wired.com)
Ever have that sneaking feeling that something's not right in the world and that someone somehow somewhere is cheating and deceiving you? Such paranoid suspicions that something sinister was afoot in the world drove The Matrix's Neo (Keanu Reeves) to endless, nocturnal internet searches and in the end, to the red pill. Neo's quest is hardly novel, however. The big screen has long been home to characters who suspect — rightly or wrongly — that all is not as it seems to be, that friends may not be, that dark forces are in control, that cabals are conspiring.

I Love You, Man
20 March 2009 (nytimes.com)
Movie Review
A man without a woman is like a pistol without a hammer, wrote Victor Hugo. But a romantic comedy without a female lead, well, that’s just a fine bromance and now Hollywood business as usual, as most recently demonstrated by “I Love You, Man,” a fitfully funny comedy that owes much to Judd Apatow, the king of such sublimated man-on-man affairs. Though Mr. Apatow isn’t officially credited, his DNA is all over this bromance, which stars Paul Rudd as a wuss who mans up by befriending a guy’s guy (Jason Segel) whose masculinity is so secure he wears Ugg boots and shorts to walk his wee dog.
