Even if Downhill wasn’t based on a unique (and acclaimed) Swedish film, it would suffer in comparison to everything around it. Being borne from something as unique as Force Majeure — and the singular vision behind it — puts any adaptation as a disadvantage. But at every turn, writer-directors Rash and Faxon (The Descendants) pick the wrong …

A funny thing happened on the way to my press screening to Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (and if you think I’m typing that title full-on again in this review, well, we’ll see how the word count goes), and I blame myself entirely.

If it’s not broke, don’t fix it? Or alter it in any way? This is generally the studio approach to creative decision making, and from a purely commercial standpoint it makes sense. So much effort is spent finding something which works the first time, why take risks with reinvention? Sure it impacts longevity, but weighed …

January tends to be a dumping ground for movies. Everyone’s wrapped up in awards talk, and studios are busy pushing their films for Oscar consideration. Sometimes as a critic I wonder if studios can walk and chew gum at the same time, much less release a big budget action film in January while trying to …
Waaaayyyy back in what we call the Golden Age of Hollywood, it wouldn’t be unusual for studios to only release 50 or 60 films and maybe only a few more than 100 worldwide. Now that number is generally surpassed by the end of the first quarter each year. With that giant upswing in content comes …
