Cannibal (Cuenca, 2013)

Last updated on: July 15, 2014 at 4:56 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

Much as with George Sluizer's The Vanishing--another horrific film that I can't quite understand why anyone esteems--I find that Cannibal's stylish beauty doubles rather than mitigates the repulsion I feel at the film's lack of humanity. If you aren't going to tell me anything true, at least don't try to trick me into thinking it's not ugly. Read more

Honour (Khan, 2014)

Last updated on: July 10, 2014 at 12:42 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

The United Nations estimated in 2000 that there are approximately 5,000 honor killings each year. Can a movie adequately address the horror of knowing your family wants you dead? Read more

Persecuted (Lusko 2014)

Last updated on: July 7, 2014 at 5:14 pm By Claudia Mundy

While the opening ten minutes of the film certainly bring to light the great questions facing Americans as to religious orientation, the following eighty are little more than the typical action thriller. Read more

Masters of Sex — Three Ways the Showtime Series Surprised Me By Being Good

Last updated on: July 11, 2014 at 11:14 am By Kenneth R. Morefield

Showtime's serial adaptation of Thomas Maier's biography, Masters of Sex, launches its second season on July 13. Would it surprise you to hear that the series has supplanted Game of Thrones and The Good Wife as Sunday night's "we'll watch it live and DVR the rest" TV? That it did so certainly surprised me.

Before Midnight (Linklater, 2013)

Last updated on: August 6, 2014 at 3:46 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

The fatalism imbuing the characters and the film is certainly representative of what many couples feel in middle-age, a period in which there are as many or more choices behind them as awaiting them and where the quality of a relationship is influenced as much by the fruit of past decisions as the pleasurable contemplation of future ones.

I’ll Follow You Down (Mehta, 2013)

Last updated on: July 1, 2014 at 6:00 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

Richie Mehta's Siddharth has been the film that I have admired the most in an overall lackluster 2014. So when I found out that he wrote and directed I'll Follow You Down, a sci-fi drama with many similar themes as its less commercial counterpart, I was anxious to see it. Read more

Five Novels That May Be Unfilmable–and the Artists We Would Like to See Try

Last updated on: June 30, 2014 at 7:32 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

There are more movies each year and hence the need for stories has never been greater. Technological advances have helped create special effects that would appear to make our imaginations the only limit to what could appear on screen. It's probably the case that no novel is truly unfilmable, so Hollywood may get to these eventually. I'm just not holding my breath. Read more
