Deep Water (2022)

In today's review I find that somethinb lies in the forgotten depth of Louisiana. As I attempt a #positive review of the 2022 adaption Deep Water #BenAffleck #AnadeArmas #TracyLetts #RachelBlanchard #FinnWittrock #DashMihok #JacobElordi #KristenConnolly

We hardly pay any mind to the entangled politics that go beyond a seemingly stable marriage, jealousy, mind games, and, in some cases, murder. In 2022, following the streaming success of Malcolm & Marie, Adrian Lyne and Sam Levison turned their attention to a 1950s novel, bringing it to the world half a century on, telling a story that was almost lost in Deep Water. Could Vic be guilty of…

The Bay (2012)

What director Barry Levinson attempts to do in The Bay is admirable but ultimately, it's the end results that matter. This horror movie fails to scare like it should.

Shot as a documentary, The Bay splices together footage from multiple sources to tell us of the disaster that happened in Claridge on July 4th, 2009. It all started when a couple of researchers discovered something weird in the gills and stomach of a fish in the nearby lake...

With a few exceptions, all found-footage horror films feel contrived. The objective of shooting a movie in this format, particularly when it's assembled to look like a documentary is to seem credible. The Bay never feels real. Its "testimonies" are filled with inconsistencies, cheap scares, and unexplainable behavior. From a production standpoint, it's filled with bad decisions.

This first criticism might sound like a nitpick, but it's crucial to make a movie like this work. Look at The Blair Witch Project, Cloverfield and Paranormal Activity. What do they have in common? A single point of view. This allows you to put yourself in the shoes of the person filming and lets the terror sink in. This feeling is out of reach but The Bay is trying something different. Fine. The premise is that many pieces of footage are being spliced together to unveil what "really happened" after hundreds of deaths were covered up by the government. Let's throw the film another bone and say a black bag this big could plausibly exist in an age where the internet exists. There are a dozen different viewpoints compiled together to make this film. Hospital security cameras, cellphones, camcorders, internet messaging services, police dashboard cameras, news footage, and more. How could a crew of people get a hold of all of these video testimonies, particularly the security and police footage if the government is determined to cover everything up?

Less context would've been helpful to the film, as this does not feel like a documentary. If you're trying to expose or document the truth, you ask questions, scout locations, confront people that were there, and shooting new footage to show the aftermath of what happened. There are no such shots in The Bay, making the whole thing look as though it was put together by amateurs, which might've actually been the intent.

Over and over, cheap scares are served up. It’s a documentary, right? So why do we have musical stings whenever someone suddenly jumps into frame? Is the goal to expose the liars or make teenagers squeal? It's bad throughout and makes sure to save the worst for last.

The Bay is a king-sized letdown. Read up on cymothoa exigua. It'll give you the willies. The idea of a parasite that replaces your tongue infesting a town and then taking it over while people scramble to figure out what to do should be dynamite. As the puzzle is pieced together, poor souls fall over dead as a deluge of full-grown bugs erupts from their mouths. A great opportunity for some gory deaths and the kind of material that'll make your skin itch for weeks. That's not what you get. There isn’t even any consistency as to how quickly or how people die once infected. I know if twinkie-sized creatures were eating me from the inside, my screams of pain wouldn’t start moments before they emerge out of my throat... I’d be howling in agony hours before!

The only way The Bay could be frightening is if it was mildly believable and it isn't. People don’t act like people, there are cheap plot points throughout, the scares are weak, the story badly told... the only thing worthwhile about this film is the premise. (On DVD, February 18, 2015)

About six years ago, @houdiniwild and I had dinner at the @magiccastleofficial with @kristennoraconnolly, who was researching the role of Bess Houdini for the two-part television miniseries, Houdini, starring @adrienbrody.

Houdini : Ένα μυαλό δεμένο με αλυσίδες

Το να παίξει κάποιος έναν ρόλο ενός υπέροχα παράξενου ανθρώπου όπως ο Harry Houdini (γεννημένος ως Erik Weisz στη Βουδαπέστη το 1874) είναι εξαιρετικά δύσκολο. Το miniseries του καναλιού History Houdini είναι μια περίεργη απεικόνιση της ζωής του δημοφιλούς μάγου, που παίζεται από έναν πληθωρικό και αρκετά μυώδη Adrien Brody. Το Houdini μας δείχνει λοιπόν την ζωή του κεντρικού προσώπου μέσα σε τέσσερις ώρες (χωρισμένες σε δύο μέρη). χρησιμοποιεί μια ανορθόδοξη προσέγγιση που περιέχει σουρεαλιστικά και ψυχολογικά στοιχεία, αρκετά ζουμ με την κάμερα, περίεργο μοντάζ, ένα σύγχρονο soundtrack και κάποια καλά τοποθετημένα animation για να μας δείξει το πώς δούλευαν τα κόλπα του Houdini.

saminaik.com Το σενάριο το προσάρμοσε ο Nicholas Meyer από το βιβλίο Houdini: A Mind in Chains, ένα ψυχαναλυτικό πορτρέτο που γράφτηκε από τον πατέρα του, τον Bernard C. Meyer, το 1976. Στο miniseries αγκάλιασαν επίσης το φανταστικό, με έναν τρόπο που οι ίδιοι θεωρήσαν - και όχι λανθασμένα - αρκετά καλό και όχι υπερβολικό. Τη σκηνοθεσία του Houdini ανέλαβε ο Uli Edel (ο οποίος έκανε το υποψήφιο για Όσκαρ ξενόγλωσσης ταινίας The Baader Meinhof Complex το 2008). Χρησιμοποίησε την φωνή του Adrien Brody σαν Harry Houdini για να κάνει την αφήγηση μέσα στη σειρά, γιατί είναι αυτή που συνδέει όλη αυτήν τη γρήγορη - και κάπως διάσπαρτη σε πολλά σημεία - πλοκή, καθώς ο μάγος βελτιώνει το σόου του και το κάνει όλο και πιο τολμηρό. Σε πολλά από τα πιο γνωστά tricks του που βλέπουμε στη σειρά, συμπεριλαμβανομένου του Vanishing Elephant και του Chinese Water Torture Cell, βλέπουμε ότι ο Brody αγκαλιάζει πλήρως το κομμάτι του showman.

imdb.com Κάνοντας αυτά τα επικίνδυνα κόλπα, τα σκαμπανεβάσματα στον γάμο του με τη σύζυγό του, την Bess (την υπέροχη Kristen Connolly) είναι αναπόφευκτα, ενώ βλέπουμε και κομμάτια που εξηγούσαν την εξάρτησή του από τη μητέρα του, την Cecilia (Eszter Ónodi). Το miniseries επίσης δείχνει σημεία από τα shows του στην Ευρώπη, μαζί με τον Jim Collins (Evan Jones) κατά τη διάρκεια των οποίων συναντά τον Kaiser Wilhelm τον δεύτερο (Gyula Mesterhazy) και τον Τσάρο Nicholas Romanov τον δεύτερο (Simon Nader). Η εικασία ότι ο Χουντίνι εργάστηκε ως κατάσκοπος παρουσιάζεται εδώ ως γεγονός και ο θεατής τον παρακολουθεί να προβλέπει τη ρωσική επανάσταση (μια από τις πολλές ανατροπές και κυρίως περιττές ιστορικές προσθήκες).

imdb.com Ο Houdini αλλάζει στο δεύτερο μέρος, καθώς πλησιάζει στα τελευταία κόλπα του. Η σειρά αλλάζει με μια προσωπική του τραγωδία και τη μοναδική εμμονή του να γελοιοποιεί τα mediums και τους πνευματιστές, όπως και την σύζυγο του Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Το miniseries καταφέρνει το πιο σημαντικό πράγμα: το θέαμα. Η αναζωογονητική σκηνοθεσία του Edel και η δυναμική ερμηνεία του Brody επιτρέπουν στα τεχνάσματα του Houdini να διατηρούν τον μυστικισμό τους - ακόμη και για τον σύγχρονο θεατή - και αυτό είναι ένα μεγάλο κατόρθωμα. Δείτε, λοιπόν, αυτήν τη σειρά, που -αν και δεν είναι πολύ μεγάλη- αξίζει τον χρόνο σας! https://youtu.be/zaOPX2m9tTA Read the full article

A Mighty Nice Man

A Short Film Advice,

“Adapted from Patricia Highsmith’s haunting story of same name, ‘A Mighty Nice Man’ is a tale of the destruction of a young girl’s innocence, as well as urban America’s predation upon rural America’s naïveté.” ***
