  The X-Files - Fight the Future

  by Danielle

  It starts off with a boy falling into a pit and being attacked by hundreds of small, slug-like creatures that crawl into his eye sockets and over his eyes. More people enter into the pit in an ill-fated attempt to rescue the boy, and they wind up being knocked unconscious (or put into a deep sleep) like the boy. The bodies are all transported to a hospital, and that same hospital later blows up after Scully (Gillian Anderson) and Mulder (David Duchovny) are unable to stop an implanted terrorist bomb from detonating inside a coke maching. But then Mulder is told by a mysterious man outside a bar (Martin Landau) that the bomb was never attempted to be defused. It was all an elaborate cover-up to hide the bodies of the pit victims. Mulder shrugs off the old man at first before he realizes that the man used to be a friend of his father's, and that he has some interesting true stories to tell. As with the series, the acting is first-rate. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson know their roles so well, they probably don't have to work very hard at being in character. Much the same can be said of the stellar supporting cast. If you?re a fan then you have probably no doubt already seen the movie.

  Solaris

  by Danielle

  Snow: "How much sleep ya need, Kelvin?
  Chris Kelvin: How much sleep?
  Snow: Yeah. Um, how long ya think you can go without sleep?
  Chris Kelvin: Depends.
  Snow: Well, when you do go to sleep... I find I sleep much better with the door locked."
  
  
  Chris Kelvin (George Clooney) has come to Solaris for answers. Still broken and disconnected from the death of his wife, Kelvin is going through the motions, investigating the puzzle of what happened to the crew of the Prometheus, what drove one man to suicide and the survivors to the edge of madness. But when Kelvin's dead wife Rheya (Natascha McElhone) awakens beside him, he will discover that the greatest mysteries of all lie within our own memories and desires. In Solaris, Clooney is forced to stretch as he never has before, and without much expository dialogue to cover him. Facial expressions, gestures, even body positions allow Clooney to carry much of the film's emotional weight in fairly subtle fashion. The film's second act is strong, driven by the characters and their jumbled memories of Rheya's earlier, tragic demise on Earth. Jeremy Davies delivers a solid performance as Snow, one of the demented crew members who clearly is troubled and is hiding a secret from the others. What makes this a great movie is that it stayed true from the beginning. There were no monsters, cheap thrill scenes or excessive sub-plot points so typical of the sci-fi genre. The camerawork was well done and the music was consistent with the tone of the film.

  Rails & Ties

  by Danielle

  Devoted railroad engineer Tom Stark (Kevin Bacon, Mystic River) is at a crossroads. His lovely wife Megan (Marcia Gay Harden, Pollack) has survived two bouts with cancer, though now it's terminal. Because of her fragile health, their marriage has been stale for some time, and it's about to be seriously tested with the arrival of a 9-year-old boy.
  Davey Danner's (Miles Heizer, ER) mother has just committed suicide. She was killed when the train that Stark was operating smashed into her car. As a result, the precious boy is placed in a foster home, though he is determined to confront the man responsible for not stopping the train. Meanwhile, Megan has decided to leave Tom for awhile, even though she has minimal time remaining. When Davey shows up, Megan takes a liking to him and says she'll stay if Davey stays. The conflicted Tom has no choice, and little does he realize how much of a profound effect Davey will bring to the home. Eastwood's debut as a director is more than impressive. It's clear she's learned much from her father, and visually tells this story clearly and eloquently. Bacon's searing work - coupled with the simple yet thoroughly effective conclusion. It's actually nice to see Marcia Gay Harden not relegated to the role of The Wife or The Mother, and get to sink her teeth into a full-bodied character. And to the extent that the character stands apart from the ludicrous circumstances into which the film throws her, Gay Harden's performance is effective, her excitement at having someone to love almost registering as an actual human emotion. Miles Heizer, who has a hefty part as Davey is also good. "Rails & Ties" is in some ways the serious-drama.

  The Girl Next Door

  by Danielle

  Based on the 1965 true story about Sylvia Likens was brutally tortured, raped and eventually murdered in the basement of a family member's Indiana home. This is a real horror movie, This is not your Friday the 13th or Halloween laughable horror movie that leaves you chuckling and wonder how stupid people can be. This is a gut wrenching horror movie that will leave you breathless, with some scenes that are very hard to watch. The story revolves around two girls who have recently been orphaned and are sent to live with their aunt who has three young sons. She is a middle aged woman obsessed with feminine purity who sees the new arrivals as a potentially corrupting influence on the masculine world she presides over. The pacing is also remarkable- by the time Meg has been imprisoned in the basement and 'the game' has begun, we have become unwilling but necessary witnesses of a despicable crime, uncertain as to the precise point at which the line was irrevocably crossed. So many otherwise innocent children have come under Ruth's sway, observing and engaging in acts they would never normally countenance, and it doesn't even seem remarkable, merely plausible.
  The acting was great and I was glued to the movie from start to finish.

  Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

  by Danielle

  Willy Wonka: "Do you like my meadow? Try some of my grass! Please have a blade, please do, it's so delectable and so darn good looking!
  Charlie Bucket: You can eat the grass?
  Willy Wonka: Of course you can! Everything in this room is eatable, even *I'm* eatable! But that is called "cannibalism," my dear children, and is in fact frowned upon in most societies."
  
  
  Burton does play it close to the source novel, even going so far as to keep the lyrics to the Oompa-Loompa songs as direct quotes from the book. A mysterious candy magnate invites five children who find Golden Tickets in his candy bars to an exclusive tour of his magical factory. Central to our story is Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore), a dirt poor boy who lives down the street from the factory in a shack that, in the real world, would be condemned and turned into an office building under eminent domain rules. He's the only decent child in the bunch. The rest are monsters, including the obese glutton Augustus Gloop (Philip Wiegratz), uber-spoiled Brit kid Veruca Salt (Julia Winter), TV junkie Mike Teavee (Jordan Fry), and the driven, gum-chewing Village of the Damned-look-alike Violet Beauregarde (Annasophia Robb). Each comes in tow with a parent who does little or nothing to correct their awful behavior, which is on full display during the factory tour. Depp delivers flawlessly. His Willy is unhinged and unhappy, incredibly inventive, and emotionally evasive all at the same time?sometimes in the same second. There are so many layers to this performance, so many individual moments when you witness his true talent in bringing an actual weirdo to life, that you smile in brain-busted disbelief at how this amazing actor does it. His Wonka is one of a kind?as charming as Wilder's and equally as sinister. As for Charlie, little Freddie Highmore is definitely on par with Peter Ostrum as the disaffected dreamer of a boy. Highmore plays young Master Bucket with a lot more openness and warmth than Ostrum, who seemed stifled by having to co-star alongside that certified scene-stealer Jack Albertson. David Kelly's Grandpa Joe is less of a show off and more of a sidekick in this film. He gets his moments to shine, but he doesn't dominate. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is not just a successful revision of the beloved favorite, it's a new entry in the family film Hall of Fame.

  Monster

  by Danielle

  In "Monster", a film about a serial killer hooker and her lesbian girlfriend, Aileen Wuornos, the hooker, decides to quit her day job and tries to get regular work without references, experience or even a resume. "I always wanted to be the president of the United States" she says, and you get the feeling that she truly believes that can happen. But the realities of things are not that colorful. She walks in law offices and gets ridiculed. She even tries to become a lawyer simply because she has "people skills". Then a cop recognizes her and she has to go back to her previous job to keep away from jail. It's scenes like these that separate "Monster" from every other crappy made-for-TV drama about notorious serial killers. Theron is capable of as an actress; her work in Monster is one of the single most powerful performances I've ever seen. She nails that feeling of an individual completely uncomfortable in her own skin. Watch the way she widens her eyes, the way she constantly shifts her body- she is never at rest. Another great performance comes from Christina Ricci, who shows her ultimate vulnerable side as Aileen's girlfriend Selby Wall. These two carry the two-character-based script up to incredible heights. Also, Bruce Dern is very believable as Thomas, the only positive male character. "Monster" is going to become one of the most revered independent films of this decade. It not only tells a very involving and important story and puts Charlize Theron in a whole new light, it also proves the power of filmmaking. If we can look at a supposed serial killer in a whole new light, it means it succeeds wonderfully.

  Hey, you should really see this! "Monster" challenges audiences with an unrelieved portrait of self-destruction and horrific violence. American movies don't get much grimmer than this.

  Stephen King's It

  by Danielle

  When the small New England town of Derry is plagued by a series of child murders, the police are baffled and the local adults terrified. What they don't know is that the malevolent force that's killing the town's youths isn't human but a destructive force out to feed and seemingly nothing can stop it. That is, until a band of rag tag outcasts show up to put a dent in "Its" midnight feeding! Each child has seen the monster (it takes the shape of what they're scared of) and also in its hidden form of a malicious clown named Pennywise (Tim Curry). With a lot of bravery, the kids are able to stop the evil "It" in the sewers beneath their quaint little town. Thirty years later, Mike Hanlon (Reid), the only child from the group to stay in Derry, begins to see another rash of murders and quickly deduces that "It" is back. Without haste, he calls upon his childhood friends to help stop the terror once and for all. In a flash the old gang is back in Derry, including funny guy Richard (Anderson); the asthmatic Eddie Kasprak (Christopher); the only female of the group Beverly (O'Toole); the once chunky Benjamin (Ritter); and the stuttering Bill (Thomas), whose brother was killed years ago by "It." As the group reforms their bond, they'll need everything inside them to face down Pennywise and defeat their darkest fears. Tim Curry's portrayal of the most evil of clowns not only lived up to, but exceeded my expectations. Pennywise is flat-out scary. Curry's facial expressions in some scenes are brilliant and I don't believe they could have picked a better actor to play the killer clown. Jonathan Brandis (Side Kicks, Harts War), Emily Perkins (Ginger Snaps, Insomnia), Brandon Crane (The Wonder Years) and last, but by no means least, Seth Green (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Austin Powers) stood out like a neon light with their on-screen presence. It was fun seeing this movie for the first time in 12 years and recognizing these guys from their later work. The transitions between the adult and kid scenes are smooth, with each character being played as one, not two versions of the same person. This is particularly important in It, because so much depends on the adults' ability to relate to the kid that is still, in some way, back in Derry. If you ever have 3 1/2 hours to kill, you should see It, after all, it's a classic.

  The Road To Guantanamo

  by Danielle

  Based on a true story, The Road to Guantanamo tells the story of the Tipton Three, three British citizens who were arrested in Afghanistan in early 2002. The three men- Ruhal Ahmed, Asif Iqbal, and Shafiq Rasul, were detained at Guantanamo Bay for two years. While detained they were denied legal representation and experienced severe mistreatment and coercion under duress in attempts to solicit confessions. They were released in 2004 and have provided some of the best first hand accounts of what the government is doing to suspected low-level terrorists. The meat of the film, which is basically a fifty-minute montage, depicts members of the Tipton Three dragged before American interrogators where they are yelled at, sworn at, and belittled. They are thrown into dank cells, put into stressful positions, and kept in solitary confinement with confession to being a member of Al Qaeda the only means to relief. These are chilling scenes, and will cause extreme disturbance, as you will surely be imagining all the other innocent people who are put through similar treatment, and all of those still going through it.

  The Happening

  by Danielle

  Elliot Moore: "If we're going to die, I want you to know something. I was in the pharmacy a while ago. There was a really good-looking pharmacist behind the counter. Really good-looking. I went up and asked her where the cough syrup was. I didn't even have a cough, and I almost bought it. I'm talking about a completely superfluous bottle of cough syrup, which costs like six bucks."
  
  
  One beautiful fall morning, all activity in New York's Central Park suddenly stops. Soon, people are cutting their own throats and stabbing themselves to death. Downtown, workers at an office building throw themselves off in a lemming-like mass suicide. In Philadelphia, science teacher Elliot Moore (Mark Wahlberg), his wife Alma (Zooey Deschanel), their best friend Julian (John Leguizamo), and his daughter Jess (Ashlyn Sanchez) all decide to head to the countryside to avoid the city -- and the source of the so-called attack. Soon, rumors begin flying of terrorist involvement, while others think the local nuclear power plant may be responsible. All anyone really knows is that the psychological virus is spreading and no one appears immune or safe. Beneath the considerable negative publicity he is attracting, M. Night Shyamalan is not a negligible filmmaker. He certainly has a directorial command, is capable of creating scenes that are genuinely eerie, and has an ability to obtain fine performances from most of his casts (one exception might be Zooey Deschanel here). His constant theme of predestination and mystical outlook frequently descends into the wacky, but you cannot deny that his films have an originality of ideas that is lacking in most of his Hollywood contemporaries. Mark Wahlberg is terrific as Elliot Moore, an intelligent, heart-on-his-sleeve protagonist that is nothing like the tough-guy roles he's typically known for. With a highly-touted R rating and a premise involving a cataclysmic event that chillingly recalls 9/11 on a larger scale, the film demands to be an unflinching, violent, no-holds-barred horror tale. Indeed, that is exactly what the first half is, and the way that Shyamalan portentously sets up the story and his characters, all of whom are in the dark about what is going on and why, is close to flawless. It all proves too good to be true.

  The Fearless Vampire Killers, or Pardon Me but Your Teeth Are in My Neck

  by Danielle

  Professor Abronsius (Jack MacGowran, The Exorcist) and his assistant Alfred (director Roman Polanksi) are searching for the castle of Count Von Krolock (Ferdy Mayne), a vampire whose minions are quickly wiping out the population of a quiet Transylvanian village. Arriving at an inn run by Shagal (Alfie Bass) and his wife Rebecca (Jessie Rubins), the two vampire hunters are promptly told there is no castle in the vicinity, nor have there been any strange occurrences or instances of people suddenly disappearing. On the second night of their stay, Alfred peeks in on the Shagals' daughter, Sarah (Sharon Tate, Valley of the Dolls), as she takes a bath. Von Krolock suddenly enters the inn through a skylight, bites Sarah, and whisks her away. Shagal gives chase, but he soon vanishes; his frozen body is recovered the next morning, riddled with bite marks and completely drained of blood. The professor tells Rebecca the only way to save her husband's soul is by driving a stake through his heart, but she refuses. Abronsius and Alfred take it upon themselves to perform the deed, but before they can strike, the now-vampiric innkeeper arises and attempts to attack the inn's maid (Fiona Lewis). Shagal is eventually driven off, after which Abronsius and Alfred set off for Von Krolock's keep. They are welcomed by the Count, who knows who they are and why they have come. Alfred finds Sarah, who tells him of the ball being held in the castle, at which Sarah, Abronsius, and Alfred will be the vampire's next victims. Polanski's deft mix of humor and horror, is evident from the opening credits, animated in black and dripping red, against a blue, mottled background, to the backward tracking shot that reveals an almost limitless snow and ice-covered landscape, lit only by moonlight. The audience is immediately aware of an eerie, Brothers Grimm-like world, a world one tempered by a knowing, mocking sense of humor, as evident in the punchline to the narrator's description. In addition to a well-informed familiarity with genre conventions, influenced by then current Hammer Studio gothic horror films, Polanski and his co-writer, occasional collaborator Gerard Brach obtain humor from multiple sources, including the continually frustrated libidos of the main characters, the downtrodden Jewish innkeeper, Herbert's unwanted amorous affections (which leads to a foot chase around the castle's courtyard), the bumbling, fearful protagonists, and two tension-rich scenes featuring mirrors and vampires.

  Mystery, Alaska

  by Danielle

  Mystery, Alaska is a happy little film about a small town in Alaska that lives for the sport of hockey. Their children practically get raised up on ice skates, and the town lives for its weekly hockey game where their team divides up to play against itself. The town council decides who gets to play on the team, with a big league's eye to who is on the way up and who is on the way out. When a former resident writes an article for Sports Illustrated magazine about the team, the NHL decides to bring in the New York Rangers for an exhibition game. The town's reaction, the interplay of the townspeople, and of course the big game itself is what comprises the story. Russell Crowe's hulky presence and expressive eyes compensate for the rather dull sheriff Biebe character. Ron Eldard is wonderfully lighthearted and fun as the big, dumb, eternally philandering Skank Marden. Hank Azaria effectively assumes the jerky Jeff Goldblum-ish role of an opportunistic writer, while Burt Reynolds adds credibility to the part of the crabby-but-loveable Judge Burns. The best performance, however, belongs to veteran character actor Maury Chaykin as the town's stammering, deeply passionate defense lawyer Bailey Pruitt. Also contributing in guest bits are Mike Myers as a sleazy network sportscaster and Little Richard, hilarious with his unending rendition of the National Anthem.
