REVIEW: Gore Verbinski Loves the Uglies in Rango

Posted on March 2, 2011 by | Leave a comment

When it comes to animation, kids like bright colors, and often adults do too. That’s just one reason to applaud Gore Verbinski’s Rango for having the courage of its convictions: Once you get past the ho-hum candy-color-pop of the opening sequence, the movie’s palette unfolds in various shades of sandy ochre, earth taupe, thundercloud gray and many, many permutations of mud brown. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to watch Rango or wear it.

Bereavement Director Stevan Mena On The MPAA and the Boundaries You Shouldn’t Cross In Horror

Posted on March 2, 2011 by | Leave a comment

After watching the fairly savage new horror film, Bereavement , I didn’t know exactly what to expect when I met its director, Steven Mena — but I was fairly certain there would be at least three piercings on his face. Instead, Mena is about as down-home and wholesome in appearance as possible. The kind of guy who you would imagine delivering you milk in the 1950s with a wink and a smile, not the guy who directed a movie where a woman is roasted alive over an open flame.

Today in MPAA Hypocrisy: Good vs. Bad Oral Sex, Kids With Weapons

Posted on December 6, 2010 by | Comments Off on Today in MPAA Hypocrisy: Good vs. Bad Oral Sex, Kids With Weapons

I get just as tired of writing this crap up as you probably do reading about it, but for some reason it feels like the beginning of the end of Hollywood in a way: The MPAA ratings board is under assault again for determining the oral-sex sequence featured in Blue Valentine is worthy of at least some of the film’s NC-17, while letting the same act — by two women — slide in the R-rated Black Swan . Oh, and then there’s the kid with the knife.
