Side Effects (2013)

Last updated on: February 8, 2013 at 10:44 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

This story is full of the sort of surprises that a reviewer is likely to spoil if he says much. I won't spoil them. And yet, I feel compelled to say that the surprises aren't much to get excited about. They come from the Magic 8 Ball of Hollywood Plot Twists, as arbitrary as they are implausible. Read more

In Space, No One Can Hear You Have a Mid-Faith Crisis

Last updated on: February 3, 2013 at 11:00 am By Jeffrey Overstreet

It's a beloved science fiction novel, full of adventure, suspense, terror, and questions about the existence of God and the problem of evil. Would it make a good television series from the makers of "Mad Men"? Read more

The Awful Truth: “Portlandia” and How to Succeed in “Journalism”

Last updated on: January 31, 2013 at 3:56 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

"Don't waste my time" — that's the prevailing attitude for most readers on the Internet. But here's the thing: If you don't take time to read, re-read, discuss, and reflect on what you're reading, then you are wasting your time. I know because I'm guilty of this. I can spend hours perusing the Internet, and the next day I won't think about any of it. At all. That was time wasted. Read more

“The Master”: Too Much Art for Oscar?

Last updated on: January 28, 2013 at 10:09 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

This article by Tyler Sage on Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master," published at The Los Angeles Review of Books, is so refreshing after reading a storm of hasty reactions, wild accusations, and complaints about this "difficult" work of art. It's a thoughtful, patient, studious consideration of this film. Read more

In Honor of Sister Rose Pacatte

Last updated on: January 26, 2013 at 2:14 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

I'm delighted to see people taking notice of Sister Rose Pacatte, who goes about her work with a spirit of curiosity, fearlessness, discernment, and humility. She doesn't write with a sanctimonious, presumptuous, or condescending tone. She writes and speaks, rather, as a friend on the journey, sharing insights and impressions without any heavy-handed piety, without ranting. Read more

Pan’s Labyrinth (2006)

Last updated on: January 26, 2013 at 2:57 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

Guillermo Del Toro and Peter Jackson ended up parting ways on their collaboration on "The Hobbit." Del Toro described it as his career's most heartbreaking experience. And the world will probably never see much of what he had in mind. So, as Del Toro is returning to the big screen soon with "Pacific Rim," perhaps it's time to revisit one of Del Toro's great fantasy films — "Pan's Labyrinth" — to appreciate his strengths.
