Anna Featured Reviews Film Threat

The event organizer (Liana Khobelia) has doubts about Anna and her appearance but gives her a shot anyway. All Anna needs to do is mingle, get to know the men (who only speak English), and hopefully get a phone number. Considering the humiliation factor, Anna seems to do OK…that is, until her daughter Alina (Anastasia Vyazovskaya) arrives, ready to mingle. Anna employs the “Show. Don’t Tell.” idea, with the narrative being the only dialogue....

For years it’s been said that the U.S. Postal Service has done wacky things to the brains of its employees, even driving some to extreme violence, thus the term “Going Postal.” But not all of these people end their employment in a fit of bloody violence. Some go on to bigger and better things, take poet Charles Bukowski for example who worked as a mailman for years before ultimately becoming a literary icon....

Enter The Den Of Sin The Dirty 30S Features Film Threat

It was with this in mind that I formulated this week’s program. I had been planning on programming Tod Browning’s “Freaks” ever since we started the Den of Sin, but had decided to wait until the DVD was released. But what to program with it? Well, while reading the surprisingly informative “Hollywood in the Thirties” by John Baxter I came across an odd little number called “Doctor X” (1932). Considered a classic by many it was obviously green lit in order to compete with Tod Browning’s “Dracula” (1931) and James Whale’s “Frankenstein” (1931), and it includes as its subject matter necrophilia, cannibalism and implied incest....

Enter The Den Of Sin Vengeance Is A Bitch Features Film Threat

My Fiancé had decided to program “Mr. Vengeance” after hearing all the positive buzz about Old Boy, also directed by Chan-wook Park. As noted in previous columns we’ve both been very excited about Korean cinema lately, although recently we’d had more disappointments than treasures. This was a treasure. Even Brendan who showed up an hour into the movie agreed. The film was so successful in fact that my Fiancé and I went out the next week and bought two more Park films in Chinatown: “Oldboy” and “JSA (Joint Security Area)” which we’ve decided to program next week in lieu of the “Orca” / “Jaws: The Revenge” double bill my Fiancé had planned on subjecting us to....

Redsin Martyrs Of Dissent Featured Reviews Film Threat

As you, gentle reader, would expect, Jenson’s plan is not without complications. The biggest of which is Jenson has no idea where to find Nathan. As the ‘race against time’ story trope unfolds, Redsin: Martyrs of Dissent proves itself a very fine small budget action film. The hand-to-hand combat is well-photographed. The sniper sequences are endowed with unease and a slight touch of discomfort, as you can’t quite pinpoint where the sniper might be hiding....

You know Giamatti. He’s the guy with the receding hairline and St. Bernard jowls. His epic, commanding eyebrows put those of Jacks Black and Nicholson to shame. His frumpy, “ordinary-guy” persona populates contemporary cinema screens with regularity, quickly progressing from mainstream supporting roles (“Cinderella Man,” “Saving Private Ryan”) and indie vehicles (“Sideways,” “American Splendor”) to leading-man status (HBO films’ miniseries “John Adams”). Giamatti’s twitchy, wounded look and manner are deeply, painfully human....
