Spot the Similarities Between Robert Pattinson in Cosmopolis and Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver

Posted on November 9, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Any photo of Robert Pattinson is embraced by the Internet, so this week’s brand new Cosmopolis stills featuring the Twilight heartthrob were a welcome Web treat. But one of the photos struck me as eerily reminiscent of a classic image from Taxi Driver , which got me thinking about the similarities between Pattinson’s upcoming David Cronenberg-directed project and Martin Scorsese’s famous De Niro vehicle. Can you spot the likenesses?

REVIEW: Herzog’s Best in Years, Into the Abyss Tells a Story of Grief, Horror and Resilience

Posted on November 9, 2011 by | Leave a comment

There’s a snag of resistance at the start of Into the Abyss , Werner Herzog’s new documentary about the execution of Michael Perry, the 2001 triple homicide he was convicted of (but never confessed to) with Jason Burkett, and the relatives of their victims. The film opens with a shot of a cemetery filled with identical white crosses where the unclaimed bodies of inmates are buried, and an interview with the man standing in front of it, Reverend Richard Lopez, a clergyman for death row inmates in Huntsville, Texas. He tears up as he talks about counseling men who are about to be given a lethal injection, about how, with their permission, he holds their ankle as they’re on the gurney so that they have the comfort of human contact as they pass.

Bad Movies We Love: Billy Madison

Posted on November 9, 2011 by | Leave a comment

I won’t see Adam Sandler’s new joint Jack and Jill because I’m a thinking organism, but my defiance is worthless: I’ve already watched Billy Madison enough times to line Opera Man’s pockets with box office dollars for life. He already wins. The mid ’90s marked a renaissance in vulgar, idiotic kid comedies ( Dumb and Dumber , Tommy Boy , etc), and Sandler’s breakthrough Billy Madison — which barely earned back its $20 million budget — remains the best of the bunch. Let’s jump back in time and yell “O’Doyle rules!” at this loud old gem.
