Movie review: The Seagull

movie review The Seagull.jpg

The Seagull — Running Time: 1:38 — Rating: PG-13

Let’s get to the tough news first — and then to the good. Anton Chekhov’s novel “The Seagull” has been made into a movie with a big cast that lasts just one hour and 38 minutes. That is far too short a time for us to absorb, much less to understand all the characters. Result? We struggle to follow them but are foiled by director Michael Mayer’s determination to shift scenes with the speed of shotgun pellets.

Movie review: 'Adrift'

Adrift Shailene Woodley and Sam Claflin movie review.jpg

Adrift — Running Time: 1:38 — Rating: PG-13

Early warning: I loved and admired “Adrift” without any reservation and am thoroughly pleased to be able to write about it. Director Baltasar Kormakur delivers the emotions of a young couple as they fall in love and then as they endure the massive hurricane of 1983 at sea.

Movie review: Life of the party

movie review 5 31 18 Life o Party.jpg

Life of the Party — Running Time: 1:45 — Rating: PG-13

“Life of the Party” wins a Gold Star in the race for being the worst movie of the year. It was released with a swish of pre-release publicity that promised Melissa McCarthy and her director husband Ben Falcone were coming up with a fine comedy. In a year that so far has given us relatively few standout movies along with a mountain of weak ones, this one goes to the bottom of the heap.

'Steamboat Bill Jr.' comes to life in Brandon on June 9

Posted on June 4, 2018 |
By Addison Independent

BRANDON — Silent film with live music returns to Brandon Town Hall on Saturday, June 9, at 7 p.m. with “Steamboat Bill Jr.” (1928), a classic comedy starring Buster Keaton, one of the era’s top performers. The series allows local movie-goers to experience silent film the way its makers originally intended: on the big screen, with live music, and with an audience.

“If you put the experience back together, you can see why movies caused such excitement,” said Dennis Marden, president of the Friends of Brandon Town Hall.

movie review Book Club.jpg

Book Club— Running Time: 1:44 — Rating: PG-13

Odds are about 50/50 as to whether the public will like or not like “Book Club.” Four strong, independent women have enjoyed becoming a book club together. When the selections become too boring for Vivian (Jane Fonda), she suggests they read “50 Shades of Grey,” which they do with a combination of reluctance and interest that moves them back into being interested in the dating world.

Disobedience film review.jpg

Disobedience —Running Time: 1:54 — Rating: R

 

“Disobedience” is a quiet, strong movie that pierces convention in many ways. The risks it takes are delivered with subtle use of gestures and voice. Director Sebastian Lelio, his team and a fine cast have delivered an unusually complex story in a provocative way.

film review The Guardians.jpg

The Guardians — Running time: 2:18 — Rating: R

“The Guardians” is an astonishingly beautiful movie. In the hands of French writer/director Xavier Beauvois and writer Marie-Julie Maille, their movie becomes art. Just sink in and feel the effects of the silences and colors as they envelop what is unfolding on screen. This story is an important piece of history seen through the eyes of women.

movie review 4 26 18 A Quiet Place.jpg

A Quiet Place — Running Time: 1:30 — Rating: PG-13

Just to level with you at the outset: I’m no fan of horror movies. When good reports began to sift in about “A Quiet Place” it seemed the best choice during this extremely weak movie spring. Just about two minutes passed before the originality and skill up there on the screen scared the audience into stone cold silence. Who is responsible for this wickedly absorbing movie?
