Shakespeare, A Salute To The ’80s And More By T.T. Stern-Enzi DVD and Blu-Ray releases transport viewers back in time. The shifts can be recent – reflections off the multiplex screens from a few months ago to repeats of a just passed television season – or generational jaunts into unfamiliar ages. For a classic journey, [...]
In less than a week, I’ve crammed in all 35 episodes of the second season of In Treatment, and I have to say, it was quite an emotional experience. HBO must be commended for the audacity of producing and airing a television series about therapy with this kind of format. Half-hour sessions with a psychoanalyst [...]
Season Two of In Treatment arrived earlier today and so, for the first time, I truly took advantage of the mobile viewing options of DVDs. I unloaded everything my bag of tricks at a table with a large iced tea and settle down to a couple of therapy sessions with Dr. Paul Weston (Gabriel Byrne). [...]
Critics can be just as susceptible to buzz as regular audiences. I missed out on an opportunity to catch Clint Eastwood’s Hereafter during the Toronto International Film Festival, but got wind of less than favorable comments from the viewing press grapevine, so I immediately began to downgrade my expectations for the film. I was already [...]
Just an introductory post to let everyone know what I’m aiming for with this blog. I want to offer alternative and additional film coverage that will complement our weekly film reviews and features. That means sometimes responding to developing news or expanding on ideas from the film section. Most importantly, this is a chance for [...]
This Date With Barrymore And Long Barely Makes It Through The Night By T.T. Stern-Enzi I was spoiled this time last year by Marc Webb who gave us 500 fractured days with Summer Finn (Zooey Deschanel) in what was definitely not a love story, but darn it if I didn’t fall in love anyway, much like [...]
European Sensibilities Dominate Anton Corbijn’s Frame Of Reference By T.T. Stern-Enzi In The American, an icy assassin (George Clooney) with no name (although he goes by either Jack or Edward, generically American monikers with allusions to the Kennedy clan) wanders into a series of elegantly composed frames by photographer cum filmmaker Anton Corbijn (Control, the [...]
This ‘Girl’ Is Certainly A Hot Property By T.T. Stern-Enzi Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace), now and forever to be known as The Girl, is the most intriguing fictional creation to come along in quite some time. How many cyber-hacker pixies with bisexual tendencies, photographic memories and extremely violent reactions to men who abuse women arrive [...]
Taking And Wasting Time Is A Crime By T.T. Stern-Enzi Life is sometimes unfair. I’m starting off with that terribly trite observation in order to justify my harsh and very likely unfair assessment of Takers, the new crime thriller from co-writer/director John Luessenhop (Lockdown with master thespian Master P). The movie goes out of its [...]
Robert Duvall lays His Burden Down In Engaging Indie Dramedy By T.T. Stern-Enzi Based in part on the true story of a legendary Tennessee loner from the 1930s, Get Low starts with a fever dream, a house afire and a figure, a man who dives from an upper story window and staggers off as the [...]
