BWW Review: THE MARTIAN is an Interplanetary Homeric Epic
by Matt Tamanini
- Oct 2, 2015
When you were a little kid, did you ever get separated from your parents in the mall or grocery store? Can you remember how the all-consuming terror of being abandoned to fend for yourself began in your chest and then crept out until it could be felt in every extremity in your body, and you became nothing more than an inconsolable blob of sweat and tears? Now imagine that instead of the cereal aisle, you were left on Mars; and instead of in the pharmacy, your parents were 140 million miles away, and couldn't come back to pick you up for four years. On second thought, don't imagine that, you'll just start crying again. That is essentially the premise behind the new Matt Damon movie THE MARTIAN, which opens nationwide in 2D and 3D theaters today, after being exclusively on IMAX screens last weekend.
BWW Review: Underwhelming RICKI AND THE FLASH is Sweet, Despite Flaws
by Matt Tamanini
- Aug 6, 2015
RICKI AND THE FLASH, in theaters nationwide Friday, is a virtual treasure-trove of on-screen talent; you will be hard-pressed to find another film this year with a more eclectically accomplished cast. From three-time Oscar-winner Meryl Streep to six-time Tony-winner Audra McDonald to Oscar and two-time Tony-winner Kevin Kline (and let's not forget Grammy-winner Rick Springfield), the all-star cast is no doubt the draw for Diablo Cody's sweet, but slight film. Despite under-written characters and story, the movie succeeds on the strength of a stellar cast doing their absolute best to draw nuanced characterizations out Cody's surprisingly bare-bones script.
