#TypesTuesday – The Hurt Locker & The Power of Idealism are an Oscar worthy combination
#TypesTuesday – Power of Conscience at the Oscars
#TypesTuesday – 2013’s awards season film featured several compelling Power of Conscience characters
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close
Some books just don’t make good movies, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close is a prime example.
The Descendants
I found the film predictable, lacking in character development, with a script that continually tells us rather than shows us.
The Artist
Writer-director Michael Hazanavicius is one of the rare filmmaker-artists whose pictures are worth a thousand words.
Hugo
Characters that exist to advance a plot tell us nothing about the human condition.
Iron Lady
Meryl Streep gives a tremendous performance in IRON LADY– but the film ultimately didn’t work because it has no point of view.
Dogtooth – Day Two – #40movies40days
Last night I saw Dogtooth, the 2011 Academy Award nominated Best Foreign Language Film from Greece. There’s going to be no rhyme or reason in selecting the films for my 40 movies in 40 days project. I’ve decided to go wherever the spirit leads me.
The King’s Speech
The King’s Speech is a wonderful film with brilliantly drawn Power of Conscience and Power of Idealism characters in constant tension and conflict.
