Foreign Friday: The Flat

Foreign Friday: The Flat

This week’s installment of Foreign Friday is going to ask a little bit extra from you. Normally all I require is that you open your mind to the realm of international narrative features, well this week we are heading to the land of international documentary film…no, no, no, don’t go! If you have chosen to stay, then you are either well aware of the potential treats offered by documentaries, or you just trust me way too implicitly. I now take you to Israel to explore the hidden truths of one man’s grandparents with The Flat.

Film Review: Before Midnight

Film Review: Before Midnight

The film trilogy, you fickle beast you.  Many franchises have attempted you, but few have mastered.  It’s that third piece that often eludes the filmmaker; a final piece of the puzzle that can be ill-fitting.  You are a host to a denizen of direct-to-DVD installments and threequels that threaten to demolish the reputation established by the prior films.  You even took down the Oscar darling and seemingly bulletproof The Godfather, and we loved that one.  Now the Before series tempts fate in its exploration of the third installment.  Luckily, Before Midnight has the chops to defeat the three-headed monster.

Film Review: The Kings of Summer

There are few things as great as teenage summers. You are just old enough to dip your toe in freedom but still young enough to have a support structure behind you to cover all of the essentials. Unfortunately, this tends to be a realization that comes several years later. We get caught up in the complexities of our own lives and the tribulations of youth, no matter how retrospectively trivial. You fall deeply and passionately in love far too easily but completely sincerely. Your vision of events is much more dramatic and dire than they have any right to be. The Kings of Summer is able to fully embody this idea and still manages to enjoy all of the humor it possibly can.

Video of the Week: Pacific Rim Cockpit Featurette

The world of Guillermo Del Toro’s upcoming PACIFIC RIM is fascinating. A frightening future where Giant Monsters come out of the center of the earth, and Earth’s only hope are these giant human controller robots to fight them. Everything I’ve seen definitely has me interested in this film.

Foreign Friday: Punch

The nine-to-five been getting you down?  Feeling a little too domestic?  Foreign Friday is here to add that touch of the international to your week.  Our trips so far have been a bit dramatic; some sci-fi here, a little action, maybe something depressing and dark.  This week we have lightened things up.  So come along as we take a visit to South Korea for the coming-of-age film “Punch”.
