Les Miserables Review

Over the years, the musical has battled hard to maintain its standing in cinema. The genre was huge in Classic Hollywood cinema, but lost its distinction in the latter part of the 20th century. In 2002, "Chicago" heralded the genre's return to the mainstream cinema but few musicals since have really garnered similar critical reception or even widespread love from audiences. Ten years later, Tom Hooper's "Les Misérables" has the potential to bring back the prominence of the genre.

Based on the hugely popular musical by Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil (which in turn is based of Victor Hugo's gargantuan novel), Hooper's film is massive in scope and grandeur. The presentation of the film is highly operatic as Hooper balances the visual requirements of cinema while also allowing the music to dominate throughout. For those unfamiliar with "Les Miz" (as it is often called), the musical is essentially through-sung. There are few extensive moments of spoken dialogue; instead the characters sing to one another continuously even when they are not in the context of a song. During the songs, Hooper rarely moves his camera and maintains the performer in a close-up. Occasionally, he'll create a great deal of movement or action in the context of the song (such as in the Thénadiers' "Master of the House") to propel the plot forward, but his choice to stay close on the soloists during their respective songs maintains an intimacy and realism that is often lost in the pomp of other films of this genre. Some might complain that the technique is overused and keeps the film from developing a visual dynamic, but Hooper's decision serves the actors (who all give tremendous performances in all respects) and also enables Schönberg's music to resonate.

Zero Dark Thirty Review

"Zero Dark Thirty,"Kathryn Bigelow's follow-up to her Oscar winning "The Hurt Locker,"is a riveting account of the manhunt that led to the capture and death of Osama bin Laden. Like her prior film, "Zero Dark Thirty" is a masterful display of gritty filmmaking that delivers interesting political commentary without ever taking a moral side. However, what makes Zero Dark Thirty a more successful film is that Bigelow manages to keep track of the humanism among the politicking and lengthy jargon-filled conversations.

As the film initiates a title card indicates September 11, 2001. Bigelow tactfully brings the viewer back in time with a cacophony of phone conversations overlapping on a black screen. Knowing the traumatic effect the imagery could have on certain viewers, Bigelow tactfully maintains a black screen throughout the sequence, which is all the more impactful. After a few moments, Bigelow cuts to 2003 where the CIA is in the midst of its operation to find bin Laden. The initial sequences of the film feature the controversial torture scenes that have been called into question by a number of politicians, but the Academy Award winning director shows a great deal of restraint in the portrayal of such cruel moments. While Bigelow shows enough to make one uncomfortable, none of the tortures are ever drawn out or gratuitous in execution. The sequences also serve to establish Bigelow's decision to present the film in an objective manner. We do not get to interact enough with most of these characters and the decision to maintain some distance ensures that there is no kinship with either side. There are no good guys or bad guys in this tale; just humans. It makes for some interesting questioning of the treatment of the prisoners and even makes the viewer wonder whether the revenge on bin Laden really made all the crimes against other humans worthwhile. Even as American characters spew out statistics on how many people bin Laden has killed, one is often left wondering if these Americans really do have the moral high ground in these conversations and if their own torturing of the prisoners is not as bad as the crimes they keep on using to justify their actions. continue reading

The Hobbit Review

Back in 2001 when Peter Jackson released his original Lord of the Rings trilogy, another major franchise was also in the midst of release. While the prequel Star Wars trilogy drew the ire of the critics for its indulgent use of CGI and childish tone and performances (Jar Jar Binks for example), Jackson's films were venerated as the apex of fantasy filmmaking with its heart-warming characters and emotionally engaging quest.

A little over 10 years later it seems that history repeats itself, but not in the way Jackson would have hoped. While his original Lord of the Rings films were all three hours in length, they were based on substantial novels that together number well over 1,000 pages. His new trilogy however is based upon The Hobbit, a novel barely over 200 pages and the lack of material is clearly present in his first installment An Unexpected Journey. Continue Reading

Golden Globe snubs

The Golden Globes nominations were announced on December 13. While many actors were helped by their nominations, some lost momentum for potential Oscar nominations.

The biggest snub came in the animated category with Paranorman being left out of the Best Animated film category. The film has been hailed by critics and was thought to be the frontrunner to win the Oscar award, but now looks like it is in trouble after missing a Globe nomination.

The other major snub was for Beasts of the Southern Wild which was completely shutout with no nominations. The film is expected to receive a best picture nomination at the Oscars but the last two days have been bad for the Sundance hit. The Screen Actors Guild also ignored the film when their nominations were announced. continue reading 

Silver Linings Playbook wins the Detroit Film Critics

Silver Linings Playbook won the Detroit film critics winning 5 awards. This is the third critic society that  Zero Dark Thirty loses. The race now has no frontrunner making for an interesting awards season.   

The Master leads the Chicago Film Critics

The Master obtained 10 nominations at the Chicago Film Critics followed by nine for Beats of the Southern Wild. Zero Dark Thirty and Lincoln continue to make head way as the frontrunners. 

Lincoln leads the Golden Globe nominations

In a year that has become predictable in terms of best films of the year, the Golden Globes did little to surprise. Lincoln led the race with 7 nominations, while Argo and Django Unchained led with five nominations. The list was populated with A listers and clarified once again that Daniel Day Lewis and Jessica Chastain are the frontrunners in the leading actor races while Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Hathaway will be the ultimate supporting actor races. Django Unchained received a plethora of nominations but neither Christoph Waltz or Leonardo DiCaprio  will most likely not translate to the Oscars. Silver Linings Playbook, Moonrise Kingdom and Les Miserables led the musical and comedy best picture race with Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Salmon Fishing Yemen rounding out the category. While the list this year is more or less what we've seen, it will be interesting to see what the Globes pick as their best picture.

Life of Pi Wins the Las Vegas Film Critics

Life of Pi won the Las Vegas Film Critics shutting out the Zero Dark Thirty. Lincoln went home with two awards while Jennifer Lawrence and Anne Hathaway picked up more awarded solidifying their frontrunner positions.  

Django Unchained Review

The undeniable genius of Quentin Tarantino is that it is impossible to predict anything about his films or filmmaking. Not only are all of his works imbued with trademark wit, solid scripting, a tremendous ear for dialogue, top rate performances, and an amoral approach to violence, but Tarantino always finds a way to redefine the genre and style of film he is making.Inglorious Basterds showcased historical revision from the auteur and a comic touch to the often somber war genre. His early works such as Pulp Fiction  brought a new attitude to the gangster genre. With Django, Tarantino strives for a similar aesthetic with American slavery and the Western, but his overindulgent use of violence in latter sections of the film and some shoddy scripting ultimately creates a sloppy and predictable film.

In Django, Tarantino takes the Spaghetti Western to his own revision of the antebellum Southern United States where bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) rescues a slave named Django to help him seek out a trio of brothers that he must kill. Django aids him in exchange for his freedom and Schultz eventually agrees to help the former slave rescue his beloved Broomhilda (Kerry Washington) from Candie Land where she is the slave of Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio). Tarantino does not shy away from the fact that his main aim is to portray the evils of the slavery era as ferociously as he can. In order to do so, he villifies every white person in the film (except Schultz) as much as he can in order to create a stronger bond with the character's central figure of Django. While subtlety has never been (and probably never will be ) a Tarantino trademark, it is extremely clear from the getgo that he is trying to guilt the viewer into this point of view and while we follow along with Django's quest, there is never a true affinity for him because of said manipulation. continue reading
