Home Theater: Christopher Nolan's bold, offbeat 'Interstellar'

Interstellar: 
Paramount, $29.98; Blu-ray, $39.99
Available on VOD Tuesday


When Christopher Nolan was promoting this film last fall, the "Dark Knight"/"Inception" director promised a more heartfelt, less cerebral movie than his usual brainy blockbusters. There's definitely a lot of talk about love and family in this story of a NASA pilot (played by Matthew McConaughey) who agrees to travel through a wormhole to save humanity. But "Interstellar" is also highly wonky and philosophical, filled with speculative science and deep considerations of whether mankind can ever be selfless enough to survive. In short: This is another bold, offbeat and entertaining genre film from modern Hollywood's most consistently visionary mainstream director. The DVD and Blu-ray come with featurettes that cover everything from the magnificent special effects to the extensive research that went into the project. 

Wild: 
20th Century Fox, $29.98; Blu-ray, $39.99
 

  
Screenwriter Nick Hornby, "Dallas Buyers Club" director Jean-Marc Vallée and producer-star Reese Witherspoon bring a rare sensitivity to this adaptation of Cheryl Strayed's inspirational memoir. Witherspoon plays Strayed, a woman who reacts to her mother's death by plunging into heroin and sex addiction before deciding to right herself by hiking more than 1,000 miles along the Pacific Crest Trail. "Wild" follows Strayed's progress from frightened novice to lean, hardened adventurer, and Witherspoon gives her all to a role that requires her to be prickly in the flashback sequences and a plucky feminist heroine in the wilderness. The film is engineered for maximum uplift but so well crafted that the shamelessness is forgivable. The DVD and Blu-ray add a commentary track, deleted scenes and featurettes. 

Silicon Valley: The Complete First Season: 
HBO, $39.98; Blu-ray, $49.99
 
"Office Space" creator Mike Judge applies his dry satirical style to California's computer culture in this HBO sitcom, a smart and funny look at how the kind of misfits who develop apps for a living have built their own cutthroat corporate culture. Taking on everything from the sweatshop conditions for coders to the way ruthless bosses are treated like gurus, "Silicon Valley" has a keen awareness of the interpersonal challenges, innate misogyny and aggressive hucksterism that results when hordes of sweaty nerds gather and try to impress one another. The second season will begin soon; until then, the eight-episode first season is available on DVD and Blu-ray, with commentary tracks and featurettes. 

Cries and Whispers: 
Criterion, $29.95; Blu-ray, $39.95
   
By the early 1970s, Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman was recognized worldwide as important and influential, but his movies weren't being seen or talked about as much as they once were. And then he made another masterpiece, 1972's "Cries and Whispers," and had one of his biggest hits. Set in the 19th century at an elegant country mansion, the film follows a woman who's dying of cancer as her two sisters and her maid struggle to comfort her in her last days. Bergman contrasts the classy surroundings with the ugly realities of the human body, creating a movie that has the complicated structure of a novel, the intimate drama of theater and the vivid light and color of great cinema. Criterion's new DVD and Blu-ray edition include new and vintage interviews, plus a video essay.

And…

The Imitation Game:
Starz/Anchor Bay, $29.98; Blu-ray, $34.99
Available on VOD on Tuesday
Outcast:
E1, $29.99; Blu-ray, $29.99
The Rewrite:
Image, $29.96; Blu-ray, $29.97
Veep: The Complete Third Season:
HBO, $39.98; Blu-ray, $49.99
Wild Card:
Lionsgate, $19.98; Blu-ray, $24.99

Wonderful Movie review: ‘Insurgent’ – on March 23, 2015

Even as it makes no concession for people who may have not read Veronica Roth’s Divergent books, or who may have missed the first movie based on them entirely, Insurgent works better than its 2014 predecessor. 
 


It moves faster, puts Tris (Woodley) firmly at the centre of things, and its action scenes sizzle with thrills and suspense. With all the justifications of this post-acolapyse world dealt with in the first film, Insurgent purely involves three women who are making the world around them spin. A middle film that has no beginning or an end can hardly ask for anything better. 

Having laid the Abnegation faction to dust, Jeanine (Winslet) is hunting for divergents who pose a threat to the world as she knows it. She also wants one divergent strong enough to apply his/her mind’s powers to opening a box that holds the secrets of the founding fathers of this world. Tris, Four (James) and the others who had fled the annihilation of Abnegation last time are hiding out at Amity, before they are forced to make a run for it. 

As they gather the remaining members of the Dauntless faction around them, the problem remains how to hold off Jeanine, who will stop at nothing including embedding transmitters into people to force them into suicide. In the meantime, Four, who guards Tris with his heart and all his well-muscled body, has a crucial reunion with the head of the faction-less (Watts). 

The “remainder of humanity” confined to one city (Chicago), enclosed within a wall and divided into factions Erudite (the learned scientists), Candor (the honest jurists), Amity (the kind cultivators), Abnegation (the selfless administrators) and Dauntless (the fearless protectors), is surprisingly 20th century about its idea of clothing. All the fighters wear tight leather and fitted dresses, the more laid-back can be found in loose overalls. The lawbreakers lie somewhere in the middle. 


The architecture is uniformly tall and colourless, except Amity’s people who stay in round, wooden structures. 

Schwentke, who takes over from Neil Burger as director, knows how to tweak the story well enough to keep it running at a good pace into the third and fourth instalment. Deadly encounters are shot with minimal fuss, talk is kept to the adequate little, and Watts and Teller as the untrustworthy Peter bring in enough unpredictability to serve the story well. This also helps keep the plot from turning too maudlin which it threatens to become every time Woodley comes on screen, or even James. 

Woodley is not bad, but she isn’t Jennifer Lawrence, who brings in just the right rebellious, resentful, angry streak to make us cheer for Katniss in The Hunger Games. James, for his part, is meant to just play second fiddle. 

And that is perhaps the biggest thing to celebrate in Insurgent. It may be long before you continued…

Moonwalkers first look review – Kubrick myth becomes misfiring comedy

Rupert Grint and Ron Pearlman star in tall tale of CIA agent employed to find Stanley Kubrick and pay him to create moon landing footage. 


 
Details: 
Comedy  |  14 March 2015 (USA)
Director: Antoine Bardou-Jacquet
Writer: Dean Craig
Stars: Ron Perlman, Rupert Grint, Robert Sheehan |See full cast and crew 
   
Conspiracy theory has it that Stanley Kubrick was employed by the CIA to fake the Apollo 11 moon landings. This is the jumping off point for the dodgy comedy Moonwalkers. Set in 1969 (obviously), it stars Hellboy’s Ron Perlman as Kidman, a CIA agent searching for Kubrick in Swinging London, and ending up with a hapless band manager played by Rupert Grint masterminding the footage America needs in case the real-life space odyssey goes awry.  

It’s hard to imagine a film less like one of Kubrick’s, an idea which must have tickled director Antoine Bardou-Jacquet. Sadly, Moonwalkers is not just a mile from its inspiration in style, but in quality. Despite some decent performances from Gint as Jonny, the hapless manager of a terrible rock band, a swivel-eyed Pearlman afflicted by flashbacks from Nam and Robert Sheehan as the permanently wasted friend Leon dragooned into standing in for Kubrick, the film is only intermittently funny, and its targets – camp experimental filmmakers, meatheaded Hell’s Angels, deluded wannabe rock stars – are not so much tired as catatonic.  
  
When things look in danger of flagging, which is frequently, Bardou-Jacquet adds a lavish sprinking of topless women and throws in yet another drug-taking scene, culminating in the inevitable apocalyptic acid trip. While celebrity rubberneckers may enjoy seeing Harry Potter star Grint getting in amongst it, that’s the only note of subversion the film contains. Billed as an action comedy, Moonwalkers is also incongruously violent, with (for instance) a public-toilet beating too brutal for hilarity, though Bardou-Jacquet has fun with the Performance -style Cockney gangsters led by a godfather who’s making a matchstick model of the Tower of London, before Perman furiously smashes it to smithereens.  



The funniest bits play on the differences between the Brits (effete, stoned and useless) and the Yanks (macho, ernest and dim), and there’s a decent joke about 2001: A Space Odyssey. But what sinks Moonwalkers is not that it’s broad and crude, but that it fatally lacks decent gags.

Top 10 Best Thanksgiving Movies You Must Watch

Many will enjoy a kid-friendly movie with the family after the big Thanksgiving feast. Here are our top 10 must-watch Thanksgiving movies you can watch when you are free.

I don’t think anything can be better than watching inspirational movies on the great Thanksgiving day. The films are surely a way of entertainment. There are certainly a lot of motivating movies that make us realize how we should live our life in a positive way.


This list comprises of top 10 best Thanksgiving movies you must watch. I can confidently say that the films mentioned here will bring a positive change in your life.

10. Dutch

This comedy film was released in 1991. It is a very interesting story of a meat-and-potatoes construction worker’s life and his attempts of staying ensconce in his girlfriend’s good graces. For this he tries his best and retrieves her preppy son from boarding school for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, this film received so much criticism at the time of its release, but overall I think it is a must watch film.

Dutch

9. The New World

What make this film amazing are the pastoral landscapes, and gripping narratives. It is truly a marvelous record of the Thanksgiving settlers. The story is about John Smith (Colin Farrell) and native princess Pocahontas. Both of them are sent reeling by a clash of cultural values. The film gives us many lessons to stay motivated in life.

The New World

8. Rocky

This movie was released in 1976. It is the story of Paulie (Burt Young) who throws the Thanksgiving turkey out the window in a rage. At the same time Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) and Adrian (Talia Shire) bust out of there and decide to go to a nearby ice skating rink.

7. Brokeback Mountain

The Brokeback Mountain was released in 2005. This film’s tense Thanksgiving dinner scenes, having lots of fight over carving the turkey and watching football, are what will excite you as a viewer. So, don’t miss to watch this movie.


Brokeback Mountain

6. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

This film was released in 1973. The story is about a gang that gathers around a ping-pong table as Snoopy carves the turkey for the Peanuts version of this tradition. Charlie Brown has performed really well in this film.

5. Miracle on 34th Street

This movie was released in 1947. The movie features footage shot of 1946 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The role of Santa Claus is played by Edmund Gwenn. The story of this film is very interesting, and you must watch it.


Miracle on 34th Street

4. Pieces of April

This is another impressive Thanksgiving special film. The lead roles are played by Tom Cruise, and Katie Holmes. The movie was released in 2003. The story revolves around a Thanksgiving dinner which April tries to whip up in her cramped and less-than-clean New York City apartment for the whole family.
Pieces of April

3. Pocahontas

It is one of the most fantastic Thanksgiving movies. Pocahontas, a 1995 Disney animated film, gives a fictionalized look at Native American Pocahontas and Englishman John Smith. It has made an excellent follow-up to the realities of “The New World”, and you should not miss to watch this film.
Pocahontas

2. Bean

This movie was released in 1997. The story is about the hapless Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) who is looking for his misplaced watch in a stuffed turkey. The movie is worth checking and would provide you lots of entertainment.

1. Alice’s Restaurant

A Thanksgiving classic, Alice’s Restaurant, was released in 1969. This is a larger-than-life recreation of Arlo Guthrie’s song of the same name. After Guthrie visits his friend Alice for Thanksgiving, he tries to offer to transport her trash to the dump. The movie is worth checking this weekend.
