The Cine File: Take Me to the Promised Land: On This Season's Political Cinema
http://aschenker.blogspot.com/2012/12/take-me-to-promised-land-on-this.html
A discussion of classic and contemporary film with Andrew Schenker. Thursday, December 13, 2012. Take Me to the Promised Land: On This Season's Political Cinema. To Zero Dark Thirty. While a solid, engaging, attractively lensed piece of cinema, Gus Van Sant’s hydrofracking drama, Promised Land. Never hits the heights of the other films, offering neither the cross-cut thrills of Argo. The intelligent observation of behind-the-scenes political process of Lincoln. A troubling movie indeed. Andrew Schenker i...

A discussion of classic and contemporary film with Andrew Schenker. Thursday, August 23, 2012. I was as surprised as anyone to see the outpouring of critical acclaim for Craig Zobel's Compliance. So, yeah, I didn't like the movie for reasons stated above - and below in my review. But, in other, better news, there's also Premium Rush. Also, I tried my hand at another music review.

The Cine File: April 2012
http://aschenker.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
A discussion of classic and contemporary film with Andrew Schenker. Wednesday, April 25, 2012. This week I reviewed a sextet of films of which the standouts are the documentary Booker's Place. And, by far the most high-profile of the lot and the film which gives this post its (somewhat strained) title, The Five-Year Engagement. Formulaic. It's a question of tweaking the formula and using the genre's dictates intelligently, tasks ably handled by Nicholas Stoller's fine rom-com. Time Out New York). A docum...

Tobe Hooper Appreciation Society. All Films By Year. Thursday, February 26, 2015. THAS: "I would always go to Sacred Chow on Sullivan. and Mama's over on Avenue A.". What is this thing we have before us called Djinn. Is a film of carefully modulated performances above all. Carefully decided upon, that is, but Hooper's direction otherwise renders emotions as boldly individualistic, Razane Jammal's multi-faced Salama most of all used to define the swings of Djinn. With the characters and. 160; Email This.

I’ve always found the film less striking visually (certainly following Savides’ anamorphic wonder. Speaking of sullen, impenetrable shapes. The first shot of. The above, again from. As Ma...
