2024年12月24日 · This version of “Nosferatu” is actually a fusion of two sources, the original 1924 silent film “Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror,” directed by F.W. Murnau; and Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula and the 1932 Tod Browning movie that adapted it. Maybe we should say that there are three main sources: another major influence is Francis Coppola’s silent-film-influenced yet Japanese sci-fi ...

2024年11月27日 · It’s not that the psycho-dramatic dreads we feel in those former two films aren’t a part of “Maria.” For everyone who’s ever feared losing a big part of what defines them, and for everyone who’s opened their hearts to something they love so widely and unrestrictedly, only to see various forms of cruelty sneak in, this generous and beautiful picture ought to be a gut-punch.

2024年11月1日 · Ever since the surprise worldwide success of “Taken” back in 2008, Liam Neeson has developed a surprisingly secondary career as a badass action hero, generally playing some variation of a guy with a certain set of skills who proceeds to deploy them on any bad guys unfortunate enough to cross his path, especially if they do anything to mess with his family.

Franklin’s object is a mockery of the man in the clown makeup. But Arthur has the last laugh: he pulls out a gun and blows Franklin’s brains out on live TV.

2024年11月27日 · “Nutcrackers” is written and directed by David Gordon Green, who established himself in American cinema with a pair of sensitive, low-budget dramas about people who could actually exist (“George Washington” and “All the Real Girls”) and then took an unexpected (for fans) left turn into knucklehead comedies with films like “Pineapple Express” and “Your Highness ...

2024年8月7日 · After the emotional turmoil of her estranged father’s funeral in Maine, our heroine, the impeccably fashionable Lily Bloom (Blake Lively, the best clotheshorse movie star since Kay Francis), breaks into a rooftop to peer at the vast beauty of Boston’s skyline.Before she can do much introspection, she meets the impossibly handsome and impossibly named Ryle Kincaid (Justin Baldoni, also the ...
