Doubles vies (2018)
Blah.
Dull, talky, pedantic. Essentially a movie about navel-gazing in the publishing industry. Great cast, turgid script. I went expecting an interesting grownup film, and got a mediocre Ted Talk instead.
Bosch (2014)
Bosch: from page to screen
I thought the portrayal of Harry Bosch was very true to the character as outlined in the books by Michael Connelly. There was not a lot of flash or cinema trickery in the pilot, and that is a good thing. A police procedural, by its nature, unfolds gradually, informing the audience as the detective uncovers clues and solves mysteries. This show does that, in a way that is respectful of both the audience and the material on which it is based. By and large the actors are well cast and the photography and technical credits are solid. As for the story, if you like the Harry Bosch novels, you will like this pilot. A winner all around.
Victor 'Young' Perez (2013)
A true story that packs a punch
I had the opportunity to see "Victor Young Perez" at the Hamptons International Film Festival. The story of a Tunisian Jewish boxer who rose to fame in prewar France, only to be consigned to Auschwitz during the German occupation of Paris, real-life Olympic Gold Medalist Brahim Asloum portrays Perez with convincing athleticism and surprising confidence. While parts of the film are difficult to watch--the boxing scenes are realistically bloody--"Victor Young Perez" is alternately inspiring, horrifying, enthralling and infuriating. The film is beautifully shot, well directed and consistently gripping. Actress Isabella Orsini, in the part of Perez's love interest, is a luminous beauty who is every bit the 1930s movie star she portrays. When all is said and done, "Victor Young Perez" is not to be missed.
Dead Season (2012)
What if zombies were real?
Now here's a scary movie that stages an intriguing premise: Instead of shuffling, shambling, mindless brain-eating freaks, "Dead Season" holds its audience with a much more plausible fright: the all too real victims of a raging epidemic. Instead of special effects, the filmmakers have poured their imagination and energy into crafting a story that engages and challenges with just enough twists and turns to keep things from getting predictable. The day-to-day issues of how to eat, how to stay away from infection, and how to hold on to your sanity and your humanity are covered intelligently and convincingly. Yes, "Dead Season" does have some genuine scares. But it also has a heart, a mind, and--with the exception of the infected--a soul.
