This isn’t an objective documentary. It’s packaged with a short fictional film, and all of the band’s videos. As an official band doc, Bring On the Mountain is a slightly glossy production, rather than a “warts and all” affair.
Ice Age: Continental Drift is the fourth computer-animated movie in 10 years from Blue Sky Studios to feature four prehistoric mammals. Like its predecessors, it falls neatly in the creatively bereft category of what I like to call “talking animal movies.”
If the world does indeed decide to up and end due to the Rapture, rogue asteroid, super volcano or just a planet that comes out of nowhere (thanks for showing me the light, Lars Von Trier) – I hope they show movies in the afterlife, because that’s the only way I’m going to be able to see the top films on this list:
Humor and romance play a big part in the breezy yet tense The 39 Steps and the mistaken-identity/conspiracy plot and flirtatious nature of the lead character would also later be used to great effect by Hitchcock in ‘North by Northwest’ with Cary Grant.
Two comedies that were big hits at the box office have made their way to DVD and Blu-ray and you may want to check them out.
The overall result of ‘To Rome with Love’ is a funny film whose contrivances make no excuses for themselves, and whose jokes have a substance that a viewer could ponder for sometime after leaving the theatre.
It’s been awfully fucking hot in the U.S. as of late, so it seems altogether appropriate that a list detailing the driest, most parched moments in cinema history be offered up this day.
It’s a testament to how good the movie is that ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ elicits any kind of emotion at all.
Arguably, the insular nature of Spokane, Washington — isolated as it was — is what the music-scene documentary SpokAnarchy! is attempting to represent and reproduce. Unfortunately, it comes off as being a tale of people you’ve never heard of, referencing people with whom they’re familiar, but you’re not.
