On DVD: Ondine Features Colin Farrell Done Right

Pursuing his scruffy-rebel, I’m-a-movie-star-but-without-the-fookin’-shite career path, Colin Farrell lurches through Neil Jordan’s Ondine with the worried brow of a much older man — I couldn’t help thinking about the Dan Hedaya-esque old character actor he’ll someday become. He’s undoubtedly exuding imperial glamor and sincerity at the moment, though, with his dark, large, steady eyes. And good thing: In and out of theaters in a flash, Ondine needs all the amperage it can get.

REVIEW: Rodrigo Cortés’ Buried Amounts to a Pile of Cheap Manipulation

Rodrigo Cortés’ Buried is a Twilight Zone episode for Mother Jones subscribers. Ryan Reynolds plays Paul Conroy, a U.S. contractor — a truck driver working in Iraq — who, at the beginning of the movie, at the end, and for every minute in between, is trapped in a plain wooden coffin with nothing but a cellphone, a lighter, a glow stick and a few other accoutrements. His convoy was attacked by a group of Iraqis; he was knocked out, awakening to find himself buried alive in this little pine box. Because time is of the essence and his air supply is running out, he frantically starts dialing numbers on his little cellphone lifeline — 911, the State Department, his wife — desperate to reach someone who can help.
