BAKETHEMOOCOW'S LATEST ACTIVITY

Big Fan



Big_fanfinal

Directed by: Robert Siegel
Written by: Robert Siegel
Cast: Patton Oswalt, Kevin Corrigan, Marcia Jean Kurtz, Michael Rapaport, Gino Cafarelli
Studio: First Independent Pictures
Genre: Drama
Official Site: www.bigfanmovie.com
Plot: Paul Aufiero, a hardcore New York Giants football fan, struggles to deal with the consequences when he is beaten up by his favorite player.

Review:

This is one ugly looking movie, partly to compliment the lead character's drab existence and partly because I imagine the budget was miniscule. Whereas Siegel's script for The Wrestler had more cliches and also focused on a lonely loser, it benefited a ton from Darren Aronofsky's brilliant direction and Mickey Rourke's performance made the character easy to relate to and root for...

Where The Wild Things Are



Whereposter

Directed by: Spike Jonze
Written by: Spike Jonze and Dave Eggers
Cast: Catherine Keener, Max Records, James Gandolfini, Angus Sampson, Forest Whitaker, Lauren Ambrose, Catherine O'Hara, Rachel Rivera, Melissa Davis and Paul Dano
Studio: Warner Bros
Genre: Adventure
Official Site: wherethewildthingsare.warnerbros.com
Plot: An adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's story, where Max, a disobedient little boy sent to bed without his supper, creates his own world--a forest inhabited by ferocious wild creatures that crown Max as their ruler.

Review:

Spectacularly rich, gorgeous to look at, incredibly smart and layered in its themes, and evoking (good and bad) feelings of childhood unlike any other movie I've seen in ages. Just thoroughly captivating and beautiful all the way through... [more]

Paranormal Activity



Paranormalp1

Directed by: Oren Peli
Written by: Oren Peli
Cast: Katie Featherstone, Micah Sloat
Studio: Paramount Pictures
Genre: Horror
Official Site: www.ParanormalMovie.com
Plot: After a young, middle class couple moves into what seems like a typical suburban 'starter' tract house, they become increasingly disturbed by a presence that may or may not be somehow demonic but is certainly most active in the middle of the night. Especially when they sleep. Or try to.

Review:

I thought it was a very effective horror movie. Very simple things like lights going on and off and creaking of staircases go a long way to be really creepy. I wish more traditional horror movie makers would learn that a lack of score during boo! scares is much more unnerving, although movies like this and [REC] have a reason for the silence. The coolest moments for me were when the woman is standing by her bedside and the clock on the bottom right fast forwards through a couple of hours. There were a couple of things I didn't enjoy like the opening and end titles trying to sell this as a true story. But knowing its origins and budget, they could not have anticipated this getting such hype and a wide release, so they must have felt the campaign would be more intriguing this way. There was also the very last shot that was a bit 'eh' and I would have liked for it to have cut out unexpectedly or something. It's not the scariest movie ever, or even one of, but thoroughly enjoyable for what it is... [more]

Accept the mystery.

"Zombieland" is brilliant. The IMDb entry ruins the cameo though, so don't look.

I'm glad it wasn't spoiled for me, it was a brilliant cameo.

Same, I had no idea and thought it was very well done.

Lovin' the KITH love! Have you been following the production on Death Comes to Town --- it's looking really good, like the follow-up to Brain Candy we never had, except the Kids are actually in good with one another this time around.

I haven't been following news on the series, but if it pans out -- excellent news.

Away We Go



Away_we_goposter

Directed by: Sam Mendes
Written by: Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida
Cast: John Krasinski, Maya Rudolph, Jeff Daniels, Carmen Ejogo, Jim Gaffigan, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Josh Hamilton, Allison Janney, Melanie Lynskey, Chris Messina, Catherine O’Hara, and Paul Schneider
Studio: Focus Features
Genre: Comedy
Official Site: filminfocus.com/film/away_we_go
Plot: A couple who is expecting their first child travel around the U.S. in order to find a perfect place to start their family. Along the way, they have misadventures and find fresh connections with an assortment of relatives and old friends who just might help them discover "home" on their own terms for the first time.

Review:

The two central characters played by John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph are unique in that they undergo little change through the course of the course of the movie and so there's no cloying journey capped by a lesson learned. However, in all other ways this movie is insufferable and boring. The many vignettes where we meet different married couples for about 15 or 20 minutes - all feel precious and haphazard and the supporting characters are all whiny, self-centered, and completely unrealistic. I'm a fan of Mendes, but he really doesn't put any thought into the direction because I certainly didn't feel any connection with anyone in this film. And he punctuates just about every scene with a Nick Drake-esque acoustic guitar song that sounds like Zach Braff chose the soundtrack. A smug and dull waste of time... [more]

I know I'm late on this one, but Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "It's Blitz!" is kinda amazing.

How does it compare to their first two albums?

This one has a much different sound - a lot more dance/synth-infused - but it's just as captivating. Karen O is brilliant.
