Auteur Watch - Hannah Hart

Oh, I LOVE people who have the same first letter in their first and last names... Paula Patton, Brigitte Bardot... guys too!  Tate Taylor?  Is that his name?  Director of The Help and Lee Daniels' The Butler?  Oh, wait.  Tate Taylor didn't direct that!  Anyway, certain lucky ones get to be a big deal like Hannah Hart.  She wears many hats: actress, producer, writer, self... pretty long IMDb Bio for someone so young and relevant.  Directing, well... that can be a different speed.  So many thousands of decisions to make.  So much responsibility, so little glory at the end of the day.  You might find yourself sleeping on the floor of the soundstage on the really tough weeks, but at least you're mobile!  Frees you up to get your rented outfit for the big awards shows at night.  So far she's directed two episodes of something called "My Drunk Kitchen."  Ah, how the kitchen has evolved over the decades.  In some households, the wife was supposed to be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.  Then again, a household like that... would they really allow both?  Any Conservative (TM) (C) (R) household worth its weight in sea salt, they wouldn't allow the wife to be in the kitchen barefoot.  No sir.  Strictly high heels at all times.  It's a kitchen, not a bordello!  But these days, in Hollywood households, the kitchen's the biggest room in the house!  You need room in there to swing a cat or two.  All those knives and burning hot stoves... a more than perfect place to get drunk.  Some cooking sherry for the pan, the rest for my liver, that's my motto.  Fox News of course is responding in kind with its own reality cooking show called "My Drunk Supreme Court."  Gee, wonder what that's based on...

This Just In: Q. Anon Meets With Spielberg, Wants Tom Hanks To Play Lead In Biopic

You know, exposing a massive, widespread government conspiracy involving child molesters at the highest levels of power can be exhaustive, but it's never too early to plan for future depictions of yourself!  Movies!  Books!  Podcasts!  The sky is the limit, and so is the imagination.  My secret source at Amblin told me that this Q. Anon fella had a script and everything!  Not since Antwone Fisher has this happened... well, not so much a script, really.  More of a rough outline.  Actually, I think it was just a soundtrack list.  The anonymous whistleblower said to Spielberg's representative... Steven himself doesn't take meetings anymore... they got kicked out for listening in, my secret source, but they heard the guy say "It's just a soundtrack list to capture the mood, really, more than anything.  Can you get Limp Bizkit?  Now, can you get the Bizkit to do some Beatles covers?  Because I really truly believe that that's the zeitgeist here and..."  That's about when my source was caught and detained, but I am still able to pass these notes on to you... for now.
Whelp, I must once again admit to irrelevance.  This must be the new rule among Hollywood reporters: you ignore Kevin Hart at your peril.  Or is this more of a win for Tiffany Haddish?  Hard to say.  Are they the hot new team like Kevin Hart and The Rock?  Sorry... can we still call him that?  Every once in a while, a star like Kevin Hart comes along, and everything they touch turns to gold.  We'll have to wait twenty years or so to see how this rates in his total body of work.  Will it be in the guts of the Top Five?  Or just merely lost somewhere in the love handles?  In any event, this one's called Night School, and it's most definitely another win for Spike Lee's successful cousin!  I mean, don't get me wrong, Spike's still enjoying the last part of his Second Act with BlackKKlansman... or however it's spelled... but Malcolm's no slouch!  Dude's doing something right.  He's got, what... two or three #1 debuts under his belt?  Maybe more.  It helps in this game called Hollywood, it definitely helps.
Meanwhile, in the world of Pixar-ish, something called Small Foot comes in at #2... I guess it's one word.  Smallfoot.  There was an ad for it someplace; I believe it was in some new crevice on the web they found to place ads, but for the life of me I can't remember where.  Don't worry, though... it's not going to be too much in Terra territory; we don't wanna go there.  Just a simple, delightful twist on the Yeti legend.  A Yeti travels to the big city to try and find out if humans are real.  Get it?  Also, they seem to be close to .. they being the various CGI artists involved, they seem to be close to emulating claymation, thereby putting the likes of Will Vinton and Nick Park out of business.  But that certainly doesn't mean the claymation film I'm making in the solarium with my Canon Rebel EOS still can't see the light of day, right?  Right?  Anyone out there?  Yes, they are, Movie Hooligan, they just have better diversions to choose from.
Our third and final debut this week is for the more morbid amongst us, thank God.  When are we supposed to have any fun?  Sounds like a slight variation on the Saw series.  It's called Hell Fest, and it takes place at a horror-themed amusement park... hmm!  Are there any to begin with?  My friends never seem to have vacation photos of such a place.  They don't show them to me, anyway.  Maybe I'm lucky in that regard.  I mean, really, wasn't that the main problem with the Saw series?  We get to witness the worst acts of arbitrage, but in a very private setting.  Maybe if it was more like a proscenium, where you can stand above it all in the rafters or so, and sit and watch the blood-curdling acts happen right there before you.  Real live theatre!  With popcorn and Goobers!  Well, this debuted at #6, so it'll probably go the way of Brainscan and Shocker instead of the way of Saw, but who knows.  Maybe it's big overseas.
I didn't even get to Brett Kavanaugh!  Well, I think enough comedians have eviscerated him already, including Matt Damon, who's not necessarily a comedian, and he won't necessarily have a recurring role on Saturday Night Live for long, but oh well.  I think I need to say it: Kate McKinnon does a damn near perfect Hillary Clinton, and her Jeff Sessions is good, but Lindsey Graham?  Well, hopefully she won't have to do it too often, but it seemed to be more like Mitch McConnell than Lindsey Graham.  As for Kavanaugh himself, well... I think there's no question, he's given the worst televised performance of a Supreme Court nominee I've ever seen.  It's a sham, and he likes beer.  Yeah.  I mean, even Robert Bork had some dignity.  Just a little sweaty, sweaty dignity... maybe he was just nervous.  I haven't seen it in a while.  Then there's Douglas Ginsburg, who didn't get the job because he smoked some weed.  A toast to his getting out of prison very soon; it was a different time.  Also, does it help when Orrin Hatch and Lindsey Graham are outraged like that?  I guess Kavanaugh appreciated it, but somehow it didn't seem to help.  I mean, unless it brings the sham to a complete halt, does it really help all that much?  I'm thinking not.  And I didn't even see the thing John Oliver showed, when the attorneys for Christine Blasey Ford had to shut down the special prosecutor's line of questioning about the payment of the cost of the lie detector test.  For some, a nice moment; for others, a good reason to start yet another hashtag like #LieDetectorTestCostPaymentsMatter or #LieDetectorTestCostReimbursementsMatter... this is why I'm not in the field of advertising, clearly.  Oh, but The Movie Hooligan!  Kavanaugh's got a stellar record!  Really?  What record is that?  The Wanted's "Glad You Came"?

Well, what can be said about her that already hasn't been said?  "227" was kind of a big deal in its time, right?  And perhaps, out of loyalty to the medium, perhaps because Hollywood is like high school in terms of rigid social structures, ONLY WORSE... she tried her hand at directing, but only a couple shows.

Well I'll Go To The Foot Of Our Stairs

Man, Google has everything!  And Lycos has that 2 percent share that iMacs seem to occupy these days... Oh, right, almost forgot our sponsor.  This week's Box Office Report Retort is brought to you by Chipotle.  Chipotle!  Remember: you can't spell Chipotle without E. coli.  In other news, some in my corner have given up hope and have resigned themselves to the possibility that Kavanaugh is going to get on the highest court in the land.  But who knows?  I mean, everyone thought Roe v. Wade was doomed before John Roberts became Chief Justice.  Why, even he himself thought he was going to get to be the lucky one to put the final nail in the coffin.  But then... then he got the job, time gets away from you, and somehow it never came up.  The rubes didn't seem to mind either, as long as they have their guns.  If you can't have an abortion, after all, you might as well have a gun.  Better than abortions!  The only other thing that comes to mind is this show I saw some of called "Mysteries at the Museum."  Better put a link to it before I forget.  They had a piece about an unsuccessful prospector named Ed Doheny.  After several unsuccessful attempts at getting gold, he eventually struck oil: literally and actually.  They said something to the effect of that oil made him one of the richest men in the world, richer than... Rockefeller?  Now, maybe I'm losing my faith in humanity in general, and in American capitalism in particular, but I really wish they said something about how we've been dealing with climate change ever since.  I mean, God bless the Dohenys and all that, but man!  We gotta dump sulfuric acid in the sky now for... probably the rest of our days!  Pretty big mess to clean up.  And they already considered putting ... no, PUMPING all the excess CO2 into the ocean, but go figure!  It's ALREADY HAPPENING!  AUTOMATICALLY!!!!!  It's, um... kinda how Mother Nature works.  But, you know... these guys are Capitalists, not scientists!  They also said Doheny was the inspiration for the Daniel Day-Lewis character in There Will Be Blood... you know, no time to dwell on how that character was a complete bastard.  On to the next get rich quick story!  Quickly on to it!
And so, we find that it's not 2004 after all.  Back then, Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 was #1 at the box office!  Sure, the week after it was Spider-Man 2, but still!  No small thing.  But nowadays we got all these streaming services... maybe his latest is a big hit on one of those.  His latest is called Fahrenheit 11/9 and it's about Agent Orange, as you all might know.  Now, let's all sit back and let the death threats just roll on in, Anti-Semitic and otherwise.  You know, I was just thinking about how the Republicans are always pushing for a government shutdown.  And then, when it actually happens, what's the first thing out of their mouths?  "The Democrats wanted this!"  But who knows?  Maybe someday there'll only be one political party in this country, but it'll be divvied up as the Rich Republicans and the Poor Republicans.  I mean, there will have to be a dividing line somewhere, no question, so it might as well be an economic dividing line.
No, the #1 movie this week is in the realm of the fantastical, which is where most of us would rather have our heads right now.  This one's got an old-timey long title, in the grand tradition of films like Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines and its even more ridiculous follow-up.  This one is called The House with a Clock in Its Walls.  I'd be very, very surprised if Cate Blanchett's actually been looking for a project to do with Jack Black, but whatever.  Here she is as Ian Anderson, by the way.  Who would've thunkett, Blanchett?  In any event, it's a triumph for the PG rating.  It used to be the kiss of death for a movie!  I haven't done the stats on this, but a PG-13 is typically what you want if you want a #1 movie.
(Monday night) I... wow.  I know the Supreme Court is a prestigious place to work and all that... I mean, it's right there in the name!  Supreme!  Doesn't Taco Bell (TM) (C) (R) still have a burrito that's supreme?  I dunno, though... I might have to go back to Subway (C) (R) (TM) for one of those new... whatever they were, something with beef.  Not quite pastrami; that's not cost effective.  Simply not.  I think I got distracted again.  So, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, AKA "Bart O'Kavanaugh" just wants everyone to know, it's just these two victims and that's it.  And maybe the whole gang rape thing.  Trust me, even the hardened agents over at the FBI don't want to look into these three dozen victims or so.  They really don't, because they'll have a couple of months of sleepless nights over the 150 victims of Judge Kavanaugh's Gang Rape Ring. (TM) (C) (R)  So many victims, and why this is all coming out now about the 780 victims is beyond me.  Bad timing, jealousy, hard to say.  And Michael Avenatti's in on this one too!  Let me be the first to suggest it... Avenatti / Biden 2020!  Run, Joe.  Either run or take an early retirement, one of the two.  Yes, Avenatti's a busy guy these days, what with Stormy Daniels and all, and also helping these over 3,528 alleged victims of Judge Brett "Drunken Busyhands" Kavanaugh's permanent floating orgy through the legal process.  Who better to overturn Roe v. Wade than someone who apparently needs it the most?
But let's try to put out of our minds the X-rated world we're living in.  I was musing on the PG rating earlier, wasn't I?  It seems most of your big-time mainstream directors have flirted occasionally with the PG rating.  The first few Star Wars movies had that rating, and the first two Indiana Jones did as well.  The Coens' The Hudsucker Proxy is their only PG-rated outing.  Not Kevin Smith, though.  He won't go under a PG-13; a pride thing.  Quentin Tarantino sticks with the 'R', I'll give him that.  Probably will for the other two films he's apparently only going to do, bringing the total to ten.  Well, probably good to get out of the game before you get old and stale.  But Eli Roth, a bit of a Tarantino protegé, is the director of this The House with a Clock in Its Walls thing.  He's stopped his worrying and has learned to love the PG!  Well, he got tired of all his R-rated fare completely tanking, and he, like most people of his generation, loved the first The NeverEnding Story.  So why not something fanciful like that?  A little less gritty than 2011's Hugo?  And of course, Jack Black was in the third one, so that's a connection to geek out about.

Phew!  Thank God.  Another short one.  But you know what?  I'm actually going to make an attempt to hunt down this... this bit of celluloid the Mortals on the Surface (TM) (C) (R) call Cham(a)eleon Street.  BRING IT TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  (a few minutes later) God bless you, Mueslix!  I mean... Fitnlex... whatever.  You know what I'm trying to say.  Somehow, I can't stomach Road Trip.  I think I'd prefer to keep my memories of what little I've seen of it the way they are.  I saw the part with Horatio Sanz and... was it French toast?  A more innocent time.  I guess it was a metaphor for the presidency after Clinton or something at the time, whoever it was.

Everything Rebooted is Meh Again

...is he really gonna do it?  Is he really going to take the Shallow Dive (TM) (R) (C) into the DVD storage to find the original Predator?  And so, at the box office, the Cable Ace (TM) (C) (R) award for Best New Thing on TV goes to "Old Starsky and Hutches."  And of course, accepting this award is the son of the guy who played Huggy Bear (C) (TM) (R)!  I'm sorry, but if you have to Google (TM) (R) (C) that quote, you probably don't belong here... did I get all six permutations of that yet?
Anyway... and so, the reboot of the original 1987 Predator, called The Predator, is #1 at the box office.  I have yet to listen to a Predator commentary, but I'm pretty sure if the screenwriter were talking about it, he... and it's most definitely a he... would say that he got the idea in film school when he was watching Psycho, because that movie is about a robbery at first, but then... then it blossoms into something completely different.  But the cops in Psycho and the big, burly, cigar-smoking Army types in Predator are nothing if not resilient, and responsive to changes in their environment, and they both quickly learn that what they're dealing with is out of this world.  Anyway, nice to see the guy from the Rocket Mortgage commercials getting work.  I know, I know... he's originally from Mad TV and one half of "Key and Peele."  Well, the other guy might have an Oscar (C) (R) (MT)... but he's not in the new Predator!!!!!  Kinda like how Garfunkel kept Simon out of Catch-22... I mean, does Simon have to do everything better?  Absolutely EVERYTHING???!!!!!  Where was I... oh, right, someone named Boyd Holbrook also is in the cast as Quinn McKenna, because having him named Jack would be not cliché enough.  And as you can see from his IMDb bio, he is an American actor and fashion model, and in this, the Age of the Selfie and the Selfie Stick, you know which of those two is the more important... hmm!  This all seems vaguely familial... I still say they're related.
Our second debut this week is a 1080p 4K re-release in select cities of A Serious Man... sorry, that's wrong.  I mean it's a 1080p 4K fullscreen re-release of A Simple Wish... no, that's wrong too.  What is that darn thing called?  A Simple Plan?  "The Simple Life"?  A Simple Life?  A Simple Twist of Fate?  "8 Simple Rules"?  Simply Irresistible?  Demi Lovato: Simply Complicated?  ...oh, right!  I can just check the list!  Derrrr...... A Simple Favor!  That's the one.  Because even wacky comedy director Paul Feig wants and or yearns to be more Coen-esque.  I mean... where did Blake Lively disappear to?  Was she ever really here all that much to begin with?  All those years busting her all... and ass.. on "Gossip Girl," and she's got almost about as much traction as Melissa Joan of Arc.  I guess Clarissa explained it all all too well!  She put herself out of business!
The third debut this week is called White Boy Rick.  It's the tragically compelling and the compellingly tragic story of rap mogul Rick Rubin and... I'm sorry, I got that wrong again.  Let me take a second look at the movie's poster.  So this 16 year old kid becomes a drug trafficker and an FBI informant at that tender young age.  Well, Jimmy Conway was a bit of a prodigy in his own way, too.  But I can't help but wonder what Nat X would make of all this.  He would of course find it to be no surprise that a young WHITE kid could do both those things at that age, and become a U.S. Senator afterwards.  If a BLACK kid did both of those things... well, first of all, the FBI would never allow it.  And second, he could only get as high as the Lieutenant Governor of Maryland, something like that.  I'm, of course, speculating on a hypothesis here.  Anyway, it's probably too soon to predict a second Oscar (R) (TM) (C) for Matthew McConaughey, but surely he'll get the Thalberg for something, or maybe one of those Jean Hershholt ones for all he's done to further the cause of legalized marijuana.
Our final, fourth debut this week is an interesting one, if only to me.  A sequel of sorts, also about Louis Zamperini, and it's called Unbroken: Path to Redemption.  While it's too soon to say whether or not it's on the level of The Godfather: Part II (spoiler alert: it's not), it seems to be clear that it will probably be considered a triumph in Christian cinema circles.  After all, the director and part-time caveman is named Harold Cronk, director of such fine features as God's Not Dead 1 and the probably Christian-skewed The Adventures of Mickey Mouse Matson and the National Copperhead Treasure.  I don't know if the kids will like it / fall asleep halfway through it, but it will leave the adults asking this: I wonder what it was that Frank Drank?  And, how do I get some?  Billy Graham's son is also in Unbroken 2: Christian Boogaloo, but somehow I don't think his flock are going to turn this one into a must-see memorable classic.  The secular critics sure aren't!  I know, I know... the filmmakers are boasting about how much less this one cost to make than the original.  More green screens, less edits, that kind of thing.  That's not a good thing, guys.

A Perfect World

Well, I better hurry up and review this one before I completely forget.  This is one that my partner in crime wanted to watch, so therefore he gave it way way too much of the benefit of the doubt.  It's called First Kill and... ugh.  It's symptomatic of movies these days: a plot that's complicated as hell, line readings that are a little different than the movies I grew up with, fast editing, faster camerawork (on smeary digital "film")... what else?  Some of these modern filmmakers seem to think that the more shaky the camerawork is, the better.  Spoiler alert: it's not.  Especially here.  I'll try not to spoil the labyrinthine plot any further, but I will say this: First Kill has a complicated plot, but not as complicated as others of its type!  Maybe Hollywood's trying to de-complicate some of these plots!
Oh, another thing all these movies seem to have is at least ten vanity logos up front, after the studio logo.  It takes a village to make one of these things, after all.  My viewing partner was particularly struck by this one, even though this has been happening for a while now.  Ten companies producing these things, thirty-plus executive producers... I don't know how far it goes back, maybe a couple decades.
Anyway, on to the plot.  It all starts with a bullying... well, first it starts with a guy in a tunnel.  He pokes his head up into a bank vault, so clearly he's up to no good.  Next scene: we see a kid playing with some dolls in the lunch room.  Even I think he's ripe for a bullying.  Alas, all we're treated to is one slow-motion fist.  Cut to the father.  His job?  Some type of hedge fund manager, on the make to join the one percent.  The one example we get to illustrate his duties?  He's bemoaning these new solar panel stocks, and trying to broker a deal for some good ol' fashioned petroleum-based ones.  Good luck with that, dude.  The stuff's running out, didn't you hear?  The EROI's going up, not down, dude.  Hate to break it to you.
WHEN SUDDENLY... the father finds out his son's having trouble at school.  A guy like that, you'd think he'd just get the kid his own tutor or something.  I've tried as long as I could to give young Darth Vader here a pass; he was pretty great in Shattered Glass, after all.  Maybe that was the only one.  He does what he can here with the material he's given.  Anyway, he deigns to briefly stop work and give the 99 percent a fighting chance.  He's going to start his long weekend early and take his young douchebag-in-training son on one of those bonding trips upstate.  WILL IT GO AS PLANNED???!!!!!!!
I don't know if I can do this without spoiling the plot too much, so... SPOILER ALERT.  The father and son, semi-direct handmaidens of the one percent, drive upstate to where the air is clean, the water is cleaner... and apparently gives rise to supernatural abilities, like tolerance to pain!  It does tend to go up in movies, after all.  Take my Jean-Claude Van Damme example... ah, skip it.  Can't find the hyperlink to it.  The father explains to the son about the transcendent quality of deer hunting, how it made him the man he currently is and what not.  And so, they engage in just that.  We start to wonder if it's all some kind of setup.  Did the hedge fund manager dad buy a deer in advance?  Was it brought to this spot by some sort of courier that would handle that kind of thing?  I'm thinking UPS or DHL... never deal with the locals.  Especially when you're a relatively big time hedge fund mgr. type and what not.  Cut to the chase: a deer is found.  They're about to take aim... but NOT WITH JUST ANY GUN.  I plum damn near forgot: they shoot some practice rounds with said valuable gun.  Oh, my cans!  My precious, antique cans!!!  Look what ya done to 'em... love that.  Better quit now while you have the chance, I'm tellin' ya!
Okay, so we got the deer thing happening.  WHEN SUDDENLY... this father and son dyad run across some sort of double cross gone wrong.  Two guys are arguing.  The one dude shoots the other.  Acting quickly, father takes his big, long gun and shoots the other shooter dude.  Chaos erupts, emotions are shattered, and... I plum forgot to mention.  The stockbroker husband is married to an ER doctor.  I think she came along for the ride... clearly, I didn't get to this revue early enough.  This woman probably fails the famous Bechdel Test.  But to be fair, she's ... SPOILER ALERT... she's taken hostage later!  That's... that's at least Oscar (TM) (R) (C) - worthy, no?  N'est ce pas?
To cut to the chase again... man!  I jump around worse than a heavily edited Michael Bay movie!  We end up in the couple's summer cabin, and the wife is pulling a bullet out of the guy the father shot.  This is where things started breaking down for my viewing partner, but not so much that we had to completely stop the movie.  He said "See, I don't believe that.  A doctor can't take a bullet out of a person like that; I don't believe that.  You could lose your license to practice medicine.  You're only allowed to remove a bullet from someone in a hospital."  And so, we find the mortally wounded gunman lying on their couch, recuperating.  Here's where it jumped the shark for me: recovering quickly, the gunman opens an eye.  He leaps up, grabs the couple's kid, holds a knife to his throat and says ... oh, I forgot.  A crucial plot detail: there's a key that gets thrown during the shootout.  The kid sees the key, and I guess the father does too.  The wounded gunman needs that key.  He's got the knife to the kids' throat, tells the father that he really, really, really needs that key, then proceeds to find transportation back to the scene.  The father convinces the gunman that he should go along for the ride, too.  He was probably a lawyer before becoming a hedge fund manager; terribly persuasive.
Now, back to how complicated plots are these days.  Now, you'd think a key that important would be for something of National Security-level importance.  Spoiler Alert: not really here!  The key leads to the loot from the robbery, and the loot has been stashed at the small town's local post office.  And I couldn't help but think to myself the usual Really?  Seriously? type of deal.  I mean, really?  Seriously?  Does any hardened criminal worth his weight in salt use a drop point so public?
There's also a thrilling chase through a relatively well maintained dirt road in the forest.  The father follows after the pickup truck on a Quadmaker 4-wheeler vehicle.  You know, the kind that put Grandma in the hospital in Napoleon Dynamite.  Again, something about that sweet mountain air and water.  Father takes a pretty good header off it at one point, but he knows his stunt falls, and takes the fall without severing his spinal column.  Soon enough, he's back on his feet following chase.  All films have fast, Michael Bay-type cutting these days, but they also will slow down the film for you when there's a really cool part.  In the old days, pause on a VCR worked pretty well, but it was good enough, you know?  We knew we couldn't capture stills from these things, and we were happy with that!  These days... does the father have a Tramp Stamp (TM) (C) (R)?  Apparently!  Nah, must be his stunt double.  I've attached the picture so you can see as well.  I don't know if it all started with 300, but it was in there, too.  They would slow down the action at what they felt were key points (in the action), then go back to regular speed.  I don't remember The Lord of the Rings relying on that too much.
Oh, there's also a Terminator-ish cop in pursuit.  SPOILER ALERT: the son, having quickly become a man during the course of this cinematic trial-by-fire, goes all Home Alone 2 on that cop's ass.  Now, you'd think the cop would be dead after the fall he takes.  Spoiler Alert: well enough to get the cuffs put on him at the end!
I didn't even get to the Bruce Willis character, playing the small town sheriff that isn't quite what he seems on the surface of things.  Yes, Bruce Willis is in this, starting to attempt these fatherly roles he so didn't used to play.  He initially auditioned for the father role in this.  He's still got it!  He can put on the right father wig for the part!  Sadly, for whatever reason, just wasn't meant to be.  So, The Movie Hooligan, if that is your real name, DID YOU LIKE IT?  Bottom Line Time here, man!  Get to the damn Point already!  I can honestly say that I don't think I liked it.  But I did place a hold on it from my local library.  I have yet to grab a still from it.  Movies like this are trying as hard as they can to be original, if only in execution.  This one relies on plot devices that stretch reality a little too far.  One last point, SPOILER ALERT: were this a better written script, they would've gone the William Fichtner in (THE MOVIE) Heat where the crooks end up stealing some of hedge fund manager Hayden Christensen's money, or somehow Christensen's wheelings and dealings have caused the town to go into default, and is now being run by a ruthless "City Manager" type that seems to be popping up everywhere... but this is so not that movie.

Auteur Watch - Thomas Allen Harris

When I look at photos of this guy, this directer fella here on IMDb, I can't help but recall... I am getting on in years, after all... I recall semi-fondly my first year of college, and a bunch of us freshmen were standing around, shooting the sh... breeze, and this one ambitious nerd type had a photo of himself, either from his yearbook, or just one that he carries around.  He did help me land my first paying gig, reading books onto an audio tape-type substance for the disabled, so I should be more grateful to him for that, probably.  He was okay, maybe a little too over-eager.  But he was talking about his smile in the picture he was showing, and he asked the group "Now, doesn't that smile say to you 'I'm going to be in charge of the world someday'?"  I made the mistake of voicing my opinion and said that it looked a little more like a "Hey, baby..." kind of thing.  He vehemently disagreed.  It's what I thought, what can I tell you?  Well, the same goes for this Ken Burns wannabe I'm profiling this week.  I'm just saying that Ken Burns' priority seems to be more towards the work, and less towards taking a good photograph of himself.  But hey, what do I know?  Everybody's a critic.
Mr. Harris' work skews toward the documentary type, and he seems to have done pretty well for himself!  But he was still finding his voice in the early '90s when he was just starting out.  Here's something on the ol' résumé called Black Body.  As you can read from the IMDb plot description of it, it's an emotionally powerful reflection on racism, using a series of moving pictures of a black torso with barbed wire around it.  For the audiophile in all of us, "emotionally loaded voice-overs."  I guess I'll just have to imagine it.  I mean, from the plot description, this sounds like something that wouldn't, and frankly shouldn't be merely available on the YouTubes for free.  Am I right?  (checking the Tubes that are of You...) RIGHT!  Oh well.  But like any director worth his or her weight in salt, they should always have several interviews on said YouTubes discussing the art of the film director and otherwise.

The Job Is Still Fun

Tough choice to make this week.  How to honor the #1 movie this week called The Nun?  Do I choose a still from The Blues Brothers with... what's her name?  Or do I pick something that honors the trailers I kept seeing?  It was always the "jump scare" part, to (try and) coin a phrase.  You know: the nun looks one way, and the scare comes from the other.  So I decided to go for the ladder... latter, and I thought of the perfect example of it, contained in the attached pic.  By the way, are you in said attached pic?  Wink wink.  Also, beware of people on Facebook whose only photo is of a bikini model, usually a girl... something tells me they aren't who they think they are.  Anyways, I spent the last few minute minutes reading about a feller by the name of Hal Holbrook... sorry, that's Boyd Holbrook.  No relation, apparently, like Kate Bosworth and Keri Russell.  Having the same name was close enough.  As you can read from the first sentence of his IMDb bio, Boyd Holbrook is an American actor and fashion model.  You know which of those two is the more important, of course, in this, the Age of the Selfie.  Personally, I kinda hope Cosmopolitan is wrong about the impending Age of the Belfie.
The only other geniune debut this week is the Luc Besson- and The Bride Wore Black-inspired Peppermint.  Look for it next year when it becomes either an Amazon Prime or a Netflix miniseries.  As for our current Russian agent in the White House, well... nope, sorry.  Even though most of his staff is humoring him most of the time, and they're not actually killing the Syrian president, among others, the job is still fun.  Besides, he really really can't go back to the private sector.  Too many lawsuits waiting for him, too many creditors and ex-employees seeking payment.  Meanwhile, this Brett Kavanaugh could very well be this generation's Robert Bork, minus the voluminous waterfalls of flop sweat.  I do like the way Cory Booker phrased one of his remarks, saying "It's not just about Roe v. Wade.  There's health care, and things that affect people's lives."  Yes, yes, we know... Roe v. Wade affects people's lives, too.  But the slight implication of that is that Republicans and their judicial nominees are petulant children when it comes to Roe v. Wade.  But why should Republicans care about that?  After all, these laws of men like Roe v. Wade, all that comes and goes like the tide.  Republicans answer only to a higher power... the Koch brothers.

Auteur Watch - Monika Harris

Oh, good!  Another short one.  Whelp, we're currently, as of this writing, in the midst of '90s nostalgia.  HOWEVER, and this is a big however, I think it's so far restricted to the first half of the '90s, before the whole world went crazy with consolidation.  Well, just the business world, of course.  The Sherman Anti-Trust Act typically isn't used on individuals.  No, the first half of the '90s was SUPPOSED to be epitomized by the rock group Dee-Lite... am I spelling that right?  Gotta take another Wikipedia break here...Deee-Lite.  That's it.  I guess even the Wikipedia page doesn't want to call them a one-hit wonder.  So cruel.  Of course, Deee-Lite wasn't enough for most people.  There were others who wanted to move their butt like a squirrel on a nut, so the C + C Music Factory would have to do.  Sadly, the factory was quickly shuttered and sold to a German conglomerate.
But this was all before the brief but prolific heyday of one Monika Harris.  It goes without saying... but I'll type it out anyway.  As you can see from her writing credits, it's one episode of "Silk Stalkings"... wasn't that on USA?  Characters welcome!  The old "USA Up All Night," on the other hand... no longer welcome, so it would seem!  So there's "Silk Stalkings" and a feature film called Legal Deceit.  No reviews of it yet, but it is available on VHS from Scarecrow!  Hope that helps!  It's a thinly-veiled autobiographical narrative about a character named Sydney Banks... a name that doesn't quite correlate with a name like Monika Harris, so that works.  That's good writing, folks.  And who knows?  Maybe that's what happened to Monika.  Maybe showbiz wasn't what she ultimately wanted.  Maybe she's running a studio now, who knows.  Or one of these douche-y new e-companies.  Maybe she's worth a billion dollars, but she's old school and doesn't feel like going on Colbert to flog her wares.  Like that Uber douchebag, old what's-his-name.  I mean, you don't take on the taxi business without making a few enemies.
But I get too far afield again.  We were talking about Legal Deceit.  And even though, as of this writing, the film only enjoys an IMDb general quality rating of 3.9 out of 10, if only for me it now enjoys some prescience.  Maybe not The Siege-level prescience for its time, but still.  I mean, now that funds have been funneled through a law firm to go around campaign finance laws, and we come to find that The National Enquirer isn't just some naïve, almost quaint, phony newspaper, but is in fact used as a stonewall for victims of presidential sexual harassment, well... semi-legal deceit, maybe.  As Alan Dershowitz once quipped, it's "lawful but awful."  Not when Drumpf does it, of course.  That's different.  That's totally different.
So in conclusion, a toast to Monika Harris, a once powerful voice in mainstream Hollywood, quieted far too soon.  Come out of obscurity soon, girlfriend!

And the Isaac (TM) (C) (R) Goes To....

I'm BAAACCKKK!!  Even though I've been having computing pains lately... hey, how about Boo Sagoo?  I know it's a bit off the farm; you know, no "tt"s in the name and what not, but I mean wow.  Wotta name... gotta go!  They're playing my song... okay, I'm back.  Lord help me, I do love that basmati rice.  Anyway, I have my backup computer here, so you shall not be deprived of a single word of my brain farts.  No sir.  Not today, not far into the foreseeable future.  At least five more years of this before my next big health scare. 
Anyway, enough of the old people.  A toast to the young people.  Young people like Oscar Isaac.  Young, successful people... he's resisting the urge and the big payday of that big Adam Slander... Sandler Netflix (TM) road pic comedy that he keeps getting offered.  The offer keeps getting larger and larger!  It's like that time the Tasmanian Devil kept hiccuping and blowing a big bubble gum bubble.  I guess it's like poker, so I hear... it's like an elevator ride, and you have to know when to get off said elevator.  It's always sad when you've hit the plateau, then you're down 30 bucks, then 50, then 100, and on and on it goes.  Sadly, Isaac has no free time anymore to contemplate the lean years when he was honing his craft and what not.  Three Star Wars pics eat up a lot of time, even for a character like Decameron Crowe... I mean, Poe Dameron.  But he does have time for the small pic in between big ones.  You know, like Keanu Reeves and the Matrix movies.  Let's see, there was Hardball and... probably others.  But when you get a project falling into your lap like Operation Finale, I guess you have to take it.  Yet another wrinkle on Germany under Hitler.  Didn't Kenneth Branagh already do this?  And wasn't it called "Conspiracy"?  ... I had to look that one up, personally.  Okay, I guess Operation Finale might count as a sequel of sorts, tracking down one of the people at that meeting.  Sorry, folks... gotta go.  Greatness calls, and also there's a new "Daily Show."

Aretha Franklin 1942-2018

Before I get back to my usual fare here, I just wanted to take a little bit of space and time to acknowledge the passing of the Queen of Soul.  Unfortunately, we've had another spate of three big celebrity deaths.  First, the slightly-less-egotistical than Larry Gelbart and acclaimed playwright and screenwriter Neil Simon.  And then, of course, Senator John McCain, and last but not least, Aretha Franklin.  And as you can see from the attached picture, I am indeed another one of those film nerds who most closely associates Franklin with that screen classic from 1980, The Blues Brothers.  Apparently, she was in the sequel as well, but... I mean, who wants to look for that one?  I suppose I should try.  Should I further mention one of my high school memories about a skit where these young gals paid tribute to her song "Respect"?  No one else remembers that?  Spoiler alert: when it came to the "Sock It To Me" part, yes, they started throwing socks at the audience, if memory serves.  Boy, those were the daze.

Okay, here she is in the sequel, Blues Brothers 2000, where she finally righted the wrong of not using the song "Respect" in the original movie.  Um... nice job on the lip synching, girlfriend!  You know, she was so associated with that song, that I think even I, as a young man seeing that movie for the first time, wondered why they weren't using that song.  People forget that sometimes... it's a big world, and there's more than one song in it.  Speaking of other songs, I'll take a brief moment to reminisce about when MTV used to show videos.  Two of Aretha's were big at the time: "Freeway of Love" and that one with Annie Lennox about sisters.  Sorry to bore you all to tears with my clichés visible from a mile away.  I mean, why should Tina Turner have all the fun, am I right?
...guess that's all I have.  I'm going to take this opportunity to become more familiar with her catalogue.  Alas, the radio station we have it permanently tuned to at work is still sticking with today's annoying hits, like AJR's "Burn the House Down."  Worst synth trumpet ever.  This is the world you're leaving behind, Aretha.  A much poorer place now.  Go and teach the angels how to sing.
