6.11 Where The Wild Things Were
This week we finally get to see what’s on through the looking glass when Nick follows Eve through the mirror’s portal in search of the sinister skeleton face guy that’s been stalking her from the ‘other place’.
The other place turns out to be a medieval forest – likely the Black Forest – that’s inhabited by “wild things”; rampaging Wesen who hunt German-speaking humans like prey. It’s explained as a parallel universe, with Renard’s know-it-all contact, Dasha using the concept of Schrodinger’s Cat to explain how the two dimensions can exist simultaneously.

What? Not another Hungarian silent film from 1914 -- how many can the market bear? Actually, the rarity and high quality of this amazing rediscovery is nothing to laugh at. Michael Curtiz made fifty or sixty features before coming to America, and this sentimental melodrama shows us that basic entertainment values haven't changed. The Undesirable Blu-ray Olive Films 1914 / B&W with color tints / 1:33 flat full frame / 67 min. / "A tolonc" / The Exile / Street Date January 19, 2016 / available through the Olive Films website / 29.98 Starring Lili Berky, Mari Jaszai, Victor Varconi . Cinematography László Fekete New Music Attila Pacsay Written by Jenö Janovics from a play by Ede Tóth Directed by Kertész Mihály (Michael Curtiz)

They tell us that most silent films are lost forever, and a look at the missing titles in the filmography of Michael Curtiz makes us realize just how true that is. Although not a household name...

Grimm Episode 313
“Revelation”
Written By: Jim Kauf and David Greenwalt
Directed By: Terrence O’Hara
Original Airdate: 28 February 2014
In This Episode…
We pick up exactly where we left off a few weeks ago: with Monroe’s parents fighting Nick. Monroe breaks the fight up, but they are pissed. Bart finds it unnatural; Alice doesn’t know her son anymore. They leave. Nick tries to apologize, but Monroe doesn’t want to hear it. He also doesn’t want to hear Nick begging for help on a case. After sulking for a bit, Monroe lets himself into the spice shop and apologizes to Rosalee. She doesn’t want to cause a rift between him and his parents for fear that he will regret it, and then he will regret her. Monroe insists that he doesn’t believe what they believe. They doze off, but Monroe wakes a few hours later, determined to take care of this.

We start the Top 7. You finish the Top 10.
While modern Hollywood may always be ravenous for an adaptation, no director has such a unique taste for giving classic literature the poppy cinematic treatment like director Baz Luhrmann. In 1996, he helmed Romeo + Juliet, which used dialogue ripped right from Shakespeare’s text, and placed the story into a contemporary setting enlivened by a thoroughly ’90s soundtrack.
Read Nick Allen’s Scorecard Review of “The Great Gatsby”
Luhrmann’s latest attempt at sprucing up a classic comes with The Great Gatsby, an adaptation that respects the time period of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s famous novel, but utilizes a contemporary soundtrack and a wild color palette. This version of Great Gatsby overall remains fairly faithful to its source material, honoring sections of dialogue verbatim, and slimming down the novel’s gorgeous narration. However, there are some curious additions and omissions in this film,...

"The indie Texan filmmaker David Lowery receives a double bill at the reRun Gastropub Theater in Dumbo, Brooklyn, and while Pioneer, a 16-minute short, and St Nick, an 86-minute feature, don't provide hard answers to their mysteries, both are deeply intriguing," writes Andy Webster in the New York Times. Regarding St Nick, a "potentially stifling ambience is deflected by quiet suspense and the awe-inspiring compositions of the cinematographer, Clay Liford. Decaying rustic interiors evoke Andrew Wyeth still lifes; pastoral long shots suggest a Southwestern walkabout. And Mr Lowery seems ready for a bigger canvas."
"Obliquely charting the terror, loneliness, and liberation of navigating a cold, callous grown-up world, St Nick follows nameless brother and sister runaways (played by real-life siblings Tucker and Savanna Sears) who take up impermanent residence in an empty Texas house," writes Nick Schager in Slant. "David Lowery's debut feature is long on silence and laden...

This weekend Miley Cyrus talked about the song she reportedly wrote about her ex-boyfriend, Nick Jonas, on Twitter — fueling fan conversation she’s still hung up on him! What do You think?
Miley Cyrus sure knows how to stir up drama on Twitter! The 18-year-old Disney starlet has only recently returned to the Twitterverse, but she’s already got all of us reminiscing about her relationship with Nick Jonas.
On April 10, Miley tweeted to her friend and backup dancer, Jen Talarico, writing, “I always look at you during 7 things You’ve been with me thru it all Sometimes you grow out of a song but that one means the same.”
“7 Things” is a song Miley released in 2008 about hating (and ultimately, loving) an ex-boyfriend, who was widely reported to be Nick. Even though she bashes everything from the mystery boy’s friends to his insecurities, Miley ends the song on...

The episode opens with Nick getting ready for rugby practice. Out on the field, he scores a try. Inside, the team's coach gives them an inspirational speech and Nick follows, telling them that they are a team of winners. When Nick gets home, his father Leon - a life coach - is on the phone to his client Warren, giving him some cruel 'advice' after his wife left him. When he hangs up, he hands Matty a contract about staying in the house, including rules about having no girls in his bedroom, not using Nick's sporting equipment, and finishing his education. Matty admits that he wanted to get a job to pursue his music, but Leon tells him he can stay and follow the rules or leave. Nick tries to keep the situation upbeat and Leon tells Matty to be more like him. Matty responds sarcastically but Nick desperately insists...

There's nothing inherently wrong with adapting a book into a movie. Some of the best and most affecting American films have been based on novels -- The Godfather, Psycho, To Kill a Mockingbird, and I'm just randomly culling from AFI's 1998 list -- and it makes sense, in a way. Rather than take a chance on creating a new story, a writer or director or team of producers can start with one they know has had an impact on at least a few people. It's a totally respectable corner to cut, as it were. But the big problem that can come with an adaptations is when the finished film feels like an adaptation, that is, feels like a slipshod assembly of characters and scenes that should probably mean more and that carry an air of importance that's impossible to justify. Right behind that one is when the film deviates from the...

Richard Kelly’s The Box opens today in the UK, you can read my review here, and to celebrate the 70s paranoia vibe we’re posting this look back at some of the greatest conspiracy/paranoia thrillers of that decade. There are some great films here, and The Box does its best to emulate this, so you might want to look into some of these when you’re done with Kelly’s latest.
Klute 1971
Strongly following the crime / investigation genre, this film tells the story of a conspiracy theory that may be a little more personal, a little more close to home. Realistic and gritty (it centres on a prostitute); it promises the keep fans of 70’s films on their edge of their seat. ‘Don’t be afraid…’
When laboratory engineer Tom Gruneman (Robert Mili) disappears, the only clue available to detective John Klute (Donald Sutherland) is an obscene letter...
