Movie Reviews | Made in Atlantis

“Summer Night” is clearly inspired by classics with a big cast of future stars and generation-defining songs on the soundtrack like “American Graffiti” and “Dazed and Confused” or non-classic but strong films like “Can’t Hardly Wait” and “10 Years,” starring promising newcomers and featuring a soundtrack filled with great songs. Despite an appealing cast, though, this film is as aimless as its characters, a slight story about one night in the life of a group of 20-somethings in a small town.

“Just touch me and I won’t go.” – Rebecca

July 12, 2019July 12, 2019

When I talk about film, I’ll go on and on about the lack of lonely women movies. There are plenty, in fact the world is overflowing with lonely men movies. Taxi Driver, Falling Down, Psycho, Nightcrawler, Fight Club, A Serious Man, The Shining, Easy Rider, Only God Forgives, It’s A Wonderful Life*, oh the list can go on and on and on.

Film Review for Spider-Man: Far From Home

July 1, 2019July 1, 2019

I stan a pipsqueak. What I mean to say is that I like Peter Parker in “Spider-Man: Far From Home” for the same reason I liked Miles Morales in “Into the Spider-Verse”: he’s a teenager. In pop-culture years, the web-slinger is pushing 60, but his most recent movie incarnations have emphasized his youth. Tom Holland, the British actor who has played Spider-Man since 2016, recently turned 23, but he still plausibly looks and sounds like a 16-year-old New York City high school student. This is as it should be.

Ophelia: A feminist upending of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”

June 27, 2019June 27, 2019

“It is high time I shall tell you my story myself,” announces Daisy Ridley in the voiceover that opens “Ophelia,” Claire McCarthy’s sympathetic “Hamlet” recalibration, based on the novel by Lisa Klein. Fair point. Actors have been performing Shakespeare’s most famous tragedy for over 400 years, and four centuries is a lot of time for a girl to go crazy and die without getting to explain her take on things.

Luc Besson replaced Nikita with Anna after 29 years

June 23, 2019June 23, 2019

Luc Besson returned to the spy / agent genre with Anna after 29 years after Nikita. Sasha Luss, Luke Evans, Helen Mirren and Cillian Murphy, the film has a cast, unfortunately it is not very suitable for the 90s Luc Besson legend. But obviously, Besson wants to have fun now too. Which we can’t blame for wanting it. After all, there is a defeat like Valerian. Does Sasha Luss, originally a model we watched as Princess Lïhio-Minaa in Valerian, promise any acting that could become the star of such an action? The answer is unfortunately no.

Pain and Glory: A self-indulgent movie by Pedro Almodovar

June 21, 2019September 8, 2019

In Pedro Almodóvar’s Pain and Glory (Dolor y Gloria), there is a poster on a character’s wall advertising Fellini’s 8 1/2, and that can only mean one thing. It’s going to be one of those films. At some time or another, male auteurs of a certain age feel the need to make a semi-autobiographical drama in which they look back on their youth and their career, and now, at last, it is Almodóvar’s turn.
