In some bright scriptwriter’s…

Posted by drbloodscoffinblog on March 7, 2010

In some bright scriptwriter’s brain, there’s a musical that evokes the heyday of Rooney and Garland and stirs you up with song and dance. Walt Disney’s “Newsies” is not that musical.

Gamer video bluray

Set in the summer of 1899, the movie’s about the trouble that arises when New York tabloid publisher Robert Duvall ups the price of his newspaper. Hardest hit are the young newspaper hawkers (the “newsies”), who have to buy in bulk.

From this juvenile discontent arises leader Christian Bale (the kid from “Empire of the Sun”), who organizes his non-unionized fellow urchins in a citywide strike. Duvall, his goons and a boys’ home director (Kevin Tighe) who’s been on the lookout for escapee Bale get to villainous work.

The script, based on a true story, is nonetheless bland and meandering. Scriptwriters Bob Tzudiker and Noni White string the elements together loosely and without much zest. Director Kenneth Ortega, a choreographer for countless music videos and the movies “One From the Heart” and “Dirty Dancing,” never reaches the high points. He doesn’t even get off the ground. He wants to make a seamless, stylized show of leaping, quipping, tough-talking kids. But his cast of youthful unknowns just isn’t up to it. They don’t dance together. They scramble. Their voices — singing and speaking — seem weak and tentative. From clutzy dance numbers to its collection of overtheatrical New Yawk accents, “Newsies” is all left feet, noise and clutter. It looks like its own rehearsal — an early one at that.

Even music composer Alan (”The Little Mermaid”) Menken and lyricist Jack Feldman seem a little off. At one point, homeless Bale sees the harmonious atmosphere of newsie pals David Moscow and Luke Edwards. He slinks quietly away and — in a musical soliloquy meant to be touching — blurts, “So dat’s what dey cawl a fam’ly/Wid a fadda, mudda, son.”

Duvall is incapable of hiding his talent. Even in a piece of mediocrity like this he gets in a few memorable tics as evil millionaire Joseph Pulitzer. At one point he has assembled his rival publishers (including archenemy William Randolph Hearst) to discuss their common enemy — the newsies. As he circles his seated invitees, Duvall brings his hands in a strangulating gesture just inches from Hearst’s throat, as he makes a quick, almost indiscernible choking splutter. But in the same movement, he checks himself and pulls away. He has a business speech to deliver, after all. It’s a deft, humorous little touch — and probably the best bit of choreography in the whole movie.

‘Rabbit Fever’ Isn’t the Coming-of-Age Story You Might Think

Posted by drbloodscoffinblog on March 5, 2010


Tranquil all the same I grew up in New York City, I was always surrounded by beloved derivation pets that ranged from pretentiously to small. There was Gypsy, our German Shepherd and the kitty gang, Stinky, Spooky Skeezer and Louie (formerly Lu Lu before "she" grew noticeable boy parts), along with a Russian Dwarf Hamster named after a character from one of my favorite infancy books, Emmylou Tittlemouse. One of the pets I calm need to this heyday was a rabbit named Pierre, who was a black, wee something-or-other stock and lived in the bedroom my colleague and I shared at the time. Our brawny orange cat, Louie, would affliction Pierre by camping manifest on top of his cage and glaring at him for hours on outdo. You can't not do justice to nature.

Rabbit Fever

was somewhat shocking — in particular, seeing that many rabbits in cages, in a specific space. Equally nonconforming is the coveted right of National Rabbit King and Queen that the teenage enthusiasts are fighting to bring home the bacon. But as Do points outside, what seems different unqualifiedly isn't that unaccountable after all: "You can supersede the teens' sweetie of rabbits with any other hobby or sport, and empathize with their motivation and goals."

Posted by drbloodscoffinblog on March 3, 2010

This ambitious contemporary musical quite literally makes a beefy staging calculate out of AIDS. The virus looms sizeable in the lifetime of Jeanne (Ledoyen, gamine to a fault), who thinks she has found the perfect guy until he starts getting dizzy spells and ends up in the hospital. He’s played by Mathieu Demy, son of Jacques, who of line made the definitive Gallic musical in The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. No Michel Legrand multitudes here, anyhow, honourable bustling sub-Eurovision tunelessness which leaves the heart resolutely untouched. The jaunty choreography and vivid colours make a piquant deviate from with the serious gist matter, but we never really believe in the characters enough for the purpose it to count. An spirited idea, disappointing in killing.

“Bloodstain” is an independen…

Posted by drbloodscoffinblog on February 28, 2010

“Bloodstain” is an independent cop film with production trouble in Eric M. Wolfson’s “Callback: The Unmaking of ‘Bloodstain,’ ” a loopy, over-the-top comedy about indie filmmaking and impossible dreams in Los Angeles.

Wolfson, a San Francisco native, has made a manic film with good production values, a snappy pace and an attractive cast - but, oh, that humor. Those who like films the cheesier the better will be served.

Basically, it’s about three wannabe actors and a director and how their incompatible personalities come together to make a film. Tony (Jeff Parise) is a schizophrenic recently released from a mental hospital who has stopped taking his meds; Peter (Johnny Moreno) is a heterosexual actor who takes a job at a gay phone sex line to make ends meet; Carl (Michael DeGood) is a no-talent street thug whose uncle is financing the film; and Marci (Kate Orsini) is directing her first feature, feeling the pressure and taking it out on everyone.

As corny as it is, there’s a nicely done climax that approached the worthiness of a standoff in a Hong Kong action film.

Clash of the Wolves (1925)

Posted by drbloodscoffinblog on February 26, 2010

“This was the tenth feature
film starring the biggest box office and most famous dog star of all time,
the German shepherd called Rin-Tin-Tin.”

Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz

This was the tenth feature film starring the biggest box office and
most famous dog star of all time, the German shepherd called Rin-Tin-Tin.
Lee Duncan was a corporal during the First World War who rescued Rin-Tin-Tin
in a French battlefield in 1918 and brought him to America for his long
film career, where he earned a weekly salary of $6,000 and had a career
that lasted until 1932. The film takes on the Androcles’ theme, when the
animal is shown love by mankind he responds in kind. 

There’s a forest fire in the High Sierras in California, and a pack
of famished wolves led by Lobo (Rin-Tin-Tin) come down to the desert town
to hunt for food. They disturb the local ranchers as they kill their cattle.
One of the ranchers is Sam Barstowe who objects to, May (June Marlowe),
his young single daughter’s romantic interest in loner tenderfoot borax
prospector Dave Weston (Charles Farrell).

When Lobo gets stuck in cactus thorns and can’t pull them out, he
leaves his mate Nanette for the desert fearing the other wolves would detect
his weakness and devour him. Dave spots his struggle and removes his thorns.
The grateful half-breed, part wolf and part dog, allows Dave to become
his master. Since there’s a $100 reward in town for Lobo, he’s disguised
with a fake detective beard tied by string on his lower jaw and his paws
are covered with laced leather shoes (the attempts at comedy were never
realized). 

The villain is posing as a chemist assayer named Borax Horton (Pat
Hartigan), who in reality is a claim-jumper. He attacks Dave leaving him
badly wounded in a cave and steals his claim. It’s up to Lobo to alert
May and save the day. There’s a terrific scene of a pack of wolves chasing
down the villain fleeing on horseback across the desert, as he gets his
comeuppance. 

If you ever care to see a flick that had all the endearing qualities
that made “Rinty” so lovable and famous, this one is it. The film’s only
weakness was the lame comedy performed by Alkali Bill (Heinie Conklin),
the comic foil character who worked on the Barstowe ranch as a chaperone
for May.

Final Destination 2 review

Posted by drbloodscoffinblog on February 25, 2010

I believe

"Final Destination"

(2000) was a widely misunderstood film. On its face, it seems to be a generic, unbelievable horror film about teens who get killed, with thin characters and wooden dialogue. Upon further examination, though, it becomes clear that the filmmakers — "X-Files" veterans James Wong and Glen Morgan — intended it that way. They want us to laugh with the film, not at it. Surely these guys, being responsible for many genre-defying episodes of a genre-defying TV series, know "lame horror flick" when they see one. "Final Destination" was not meant to be taken seriously, but as a wickedly dark spoof that, like "X-Files," successfully blended mockery of horror with actual horror. On that level, it was a decent piece of entertainment.

Now comes the depressing and obligatory sequel, made by new, inexperienced people, featuring almost none of the faces from the original, and using not a continuation of the first film's plot, but THE SAME PLOT, recast with different characters. It is wearisome to contemplate Hollywood's dearth of good ideas.

The story is that a teen-age girl named Kimberly Corman (A.J. Cook) foresees a horrific traffic accident in a vision, acts accordingly, and prevents the deaths of nine or 10 people who would have otherwise perished. But this messes with Death's design — when it's your time to go, it's your time to go — and soon Death, merry prankster that he is, begins killing off the survivors anyway, using increasingly elaborate and ghastly methods.

Kimberly knows what's going on. The near-accident occurred one year to the day after a teen-age boy foresaw a plane crash, got off, and spared the lives of several people, all of whom also died soon thereafter; this is what happened in the first "Final Destination." She seeks out Clear Rivers (Ali Larter), the one person from that earlier incident to still be alive, though she has barricaded herself at a mental institution, safe from anything that could possibly kill her.

(This is a typical horror-film institution, by the way, all mist-enshrouded and featuring raving lunatics who yell things like, "Get ‘em off me!" when there's nothing on them.)

Clear decides to help Kimberly and her fellow survivors, who are quickly becoming convinced that Death IS after them, since sure enough, they're starting to drop like flies. They visit a creepy mortician (Tony Todd, from the first film), who gives them some ideas about how to escape Death once and for all.

The film is a copy of its predecessor, but a bad one. The plane crash vision in "Final Destination"? Whatever critics said about the film, they loved the sweaty terror of that well-produced sequence. The multi-car collision in "Final Destination 2"? OK, but marred by the over-use of fiery explosions, including a car that bursts into flames simply by having its top half — the half where the gas tank ISN'T — being sliced off.

More to the point, the aforementioned attitude of the first film is gone here, like maybe the new filmmakers didn't even get it, much less were able to duplicate it. Where "FD1" was full of subtle visual clues foretelling characters' deaths, and the use of "Rocky Mountain High" as a constant harbinger of doom, "FD2" manages one or two lame hints then gives up.

There is no atmosphere. This sequel, a deliciously stupid 90 minutes of outrageousness, actually is all the things that those who misunderstood its predecessor thought IT was. It's lame and obvious, though I will say that at least it's never boring. As far as bad movies go, this is a great one.

Grade: D+

Rated R, abundant harsh profanity, brief non-sexual nudity, a lot of blood and gore
