What does it mean, on a spiritual and moral level, to be a man? What is our place in nature? When all the chips are down, what do we cling to as the measure of our character and worth as we leave the final mark of our very existence? These are the lofty questions posed by The Grey, the new film by director and co-writer Joe Carnahan, based on a short story called “Ghost Walker” by Ian Mackenzie Jeffers (who also co-wrote the screenplay)....  read more

Chloe

Director: Atom Egoyan Producer: Ivan Reitman Writer: Erin Cressida Wilson Starring: Julianne Moore, Liam Neeson, Amanda Seyfried Studio/Run Time: Sony Pictures Classics, 99 min. Strong acting and weak directing leave erotic thriller with more fizzle than sizzle. An erotic thriller can’t be good if it’s neither erotic nor thrilling—and Chloe is barely either.

I walked in hoping for something in the vein of Fatal Attraction. Unfortunately, halfway through the film, I found myself thinking...  read more

Sundance 2009: Film Round-Up

Sundance Film Roundup Narrative Films An Education Nick Hornby wrote the script for An Education, so you’d expect the dialogue to be superb, and it is. (Although, it’s a strange choice to adapt someone else’s book instead of one of his own; he’d “rather mess up other people’s stories.”) And newcomer Carey Mulligan is spectacular in the leading role, so good that if I had seen the film earlier I would have made a point to see The Greatest, another Sundance selection starring Mulligan. In this one, though, she plays a schoolgirl who begins to spend time with an older...  read more
