Auteur Watch - Stacey Holman

..ooh!  This looks vaguely familiar.  This week's Auteur had a hand in something called 10 Things I Hate About You... sorry, that's actually the delightful 1999 reboot of Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew."  No, this one's called Thirteen Conversations About One Thing... sorry, that's a 2001 Sprecher project they came up with after watching Short Cuts... something like that.  Lemme guess... the one thing is death and taxes.  No, I'm being far too glib, it's more subtle and deeper than that.  I think they do talk about how it's impossible to un-scramble an egg.  Plus Matthew McConaughey is in it, so you know it's going to be... allright, allright, allright.  I'll keep trying to figure out what Stacey Holman's film is called, stay tuned.

RIP Jamal Lyon (2015-2019)

Brought to you by the name Oscar.  The name Oscar!  Most closely associated with the most prestigious awards ceremony of the year, and of course with a beloved grumpy character on a children's television show who lives in a garbage can.  So really, opposite ends of the spectrum, and yet more closely related than at first appearance.  Well, I guess we're going to watch the damn show tonight, with a few hours lead time so we can skip the boring parts, and the acceptance speeches that some don't want to hear.
But on to the real big news!  DreamWorks animated features may never win another Best Picture Oscar (TM) (R) (C) for Animated Feature of the Year ever again, but the How to Train Your Dragon series continues to open at #1.  That, and Kung Fu Panda, because Shark Tale was an unacceptable ethnic stereotype.  The only other whimsical child-ish fare this week is the Lego Movie sequel.  No cumulative totals over 100 million this week.  The closest is The Upside at 99.7!  PATHETIC!!!!!
Meanwhile, something called Fighting with My Family debuted last week... as far as I know.  Which once again proves what I've thought about Vince Vaughn for a while now: not good at the Box Office.  Plus, I'm getting so sick of these Sans Serif fonts on these movie posters.  We need a resurgence of Serifs, damn it!  And not just the cursive-ish type lettering we get sometimes in music videos... can't think of a good example right now.  Speaking of Vince Vaughn, he's also got something coming out called Dragged Across Concrete that's probably going to bomb as well.  Well, it's using a micro-ad campaign, mostly Fred Melamed on Facebook posting the poster.  That's all I've seen of it so far.  Mel Gibson's Public Rehabilitation is apparently taking longer than expected.
The second and last bonafide debut this week is something called Reach the Rock... sorry, that's a post-Home Alone script by John Hughes, trying to recapture some of that Breakfast Club lightning in a bottle.  No, it's a film called Race the Sun... sorry, that's a Halle Berry vehicle from 1996.  My mind must be adrift today.  The actual film is called Run the Race... seriously?  That's the title?  Ugh.  And again, the same font on the poster as Fighting with My Family.  SAME COLOR, too!  Yellow!  That's right, I'm messing with some of the things I don't usually now, how do you like that?  Judging from the Plot Description, it sounds like we might have a Christian film in the offing here.  I mean, two different world views in a small Southern town?  What else would they be?  Fortunately, coach Bubba Blue is keeping above the fray.  He and I are getting too old for this sh.........

Auteur Watch - Brandon Holland

...well, THAT was a waste.  I don't normally use the "Auteur Watch" segment to jam a movie review into it, but you gotta make exceptions sometimes, especially with a film-type substance called "XXI: O'Day."  Perhaps available at your local library!  That's where I found my copy of it.  I'll confess!  The enigmatic title hooked me right away, even if the amateurish-looking DVD cover was trying to warn me.  "Don't do it!  Don't waste your time and effort!" it seemed to be saying.
Okay, I'll try to be more positive, and I know it wasn't the actors' fault.  But you do get the full range of bad indie movie acting here, all the way from people who can just barely portray versions of themselves, to semi-pros who just aren't getting paid enough for the full Meryl Streep immersion treatment.  This is the kind of movie that critics really should stay away from, but only because one risks hurting their reputation by drawing attention to something so far below the radar because that's where it belongs.  SPOILER ALERTS ANYWAY.  We start off innocently enough as a Tyler Perry-type vehicle, if one ever dealt with a certain horrible illness which, according to Wikipedia, affects 20 to 70 per 100,000 in different countries... oops!  Well, I did say spoiler alert.  The mother tries to comfort the afflicted daughter with the power of Gospel-inspired prayer, but the daughter has her doubts.  I did like the moment where she just asks in general in a sort of "But really?  Seriously?" kind of way why God has done this to her.  Okay, so amateurish production values aside, I'm still on board.
But then... then... time marches on, ardor cools, bromances at the gym percolate, what have you.  And then, the plot takes a bit of a left turn, or right, depending on your politics.  I'll try not to give anything away, but at some point I felt like I was watching an episode of "Ray Donovan."  Specifically, one of the early ones from Season 6.  I'm sure there's another similar plot out there somewhere... ah yes, let's say it's slightly more subtle than Desperate Measures, and a lot less subtle than "Blood Feud."  Then, at another point later on, we go full on season 6 finale of "Ray Donovan."  I mean, Ray Donovan stretches credulity a little too far, but this...
In describing the plot, this is from the "film"'s IMDb main page: "College Sweethearts, Shannon and Kristian O'Day had their lives ahead of them. When a mysterious illness strikes, the bounds of love are tested."  The bounds of love and sound mixing.  You appreciate the little things in the art du cinema when trying to slog through something like this.
I would like to see "Trashville" at some point, but so far Netflix (TM) (R) (C) or my video store don't have it.  I think I played it on Facebook once, though!  That was pretty cool!  I will give Brandon Holland one bit of technical advice: the end credits.  What's the rush, dude?  The credits go by way too fast, followed by three minutes of silence.  Plus, no credit for any of the songs!  Boo.  Very boo.  I won't make a fuss, but ASCAP might at some point, and you'll get a copyright strike on your YouTube channel.  I definitely heard a version of "O. P. P." in the barbershop sequence.  Um, that $#!t ain't free, dude.

BOMB

-so sayeth The Movie Hooligan

Bezos The Clown

Brought to you by Concord Management.  Concord Management!  They came, they saw, they Concord.  Well, the ad blitz is over, and the latest new variation on RoboCop has once again triumphed at the Box Office to placate our desire for mad nunchuck skills and our desire for a little more permanence in our lives.  This one's called ... the TV show "Dark Angel"... I'm sorry, that's not right.  One of the web spiders in my employ seems to have gotten it all wrong.  It's actually the TV show "Alias" and... no, it's not that one either.  But the picture's kinda similar!  No, it's called Alita: Battle Angel.  You may have seen an ad or two for it.  When I saw the junkyard in the clip they've been showing on the film's main IMDb page, I couldn't help but think of the first half of Wall-E.  It's a little something to encourage all those women and girls out there who are pretty, but they still want to go for that plastic surgery that makes them look like a living Barbie doll.  The film was directed by Robert Rodriguez, who went through a period there where he seemed to be directing a film every year.  Poor box office returns slowed him down a little bit, so he decided to spend a little more time on this one.  I mean, hey, sometimes it's just not enough to love the idea of Machete 3.  You need the capital and the resources to get it made as well.
Meanwhile, back at the lab... the latest Rebel Wilson vehicle gets the second-most table scraps at the box office this week, and it's called Isn't It Ironic, Dont'cha Think... sorry, that's Alanis Morrisette lyrics.  My mind's wandering again.  No, it's called Isn't It Romantic, and it seems to be a meta-comedy, even if that's not apparent from the TV adverts.  The premise?  A woman finds herself trapped inside a Romantic Comedy.  It's from writer and all-around Hollywood Sweetie Pie Dana Fox, the brains and beauty behind such hits as The Wedding Date, for which she got some nice publicity for herself, Couples Retreat, which was the beginning of the end for Vince Vaughn, and How to Be Single, in which Rebel Wilson says "Reading is for losers," if memory serves.  But so many things are for losers these days, in addition to reading.  But it is kinda nice to not be staring at a buzzing screen once in a while.  Pardon me while I have an '80s flashback, and continually flog myself for squandering time not on my studies, but on going to high school dances... ah, it was worth it.  Well, sometimes you gotta have a well-rounded education, you know?  But I will once again say that, with over seven billion of us on the planet now, and climate change becoming dangerously close to irreversibility... we might have to put the art of romance on hold for a while.  I mean, as a species.  Can we still do that thing where we sprinkle a little sulphuric acid on top of all the CO2?  I've heard that that might work.  Sure, we might have to do that for the rest of forever, but hey.  Small price to pay for being able to live, right?  But the old Romantic relics from the previous couple generations continue to tumble and fall.  I mean, take the Everly Brothers' song "Dream," for instance... sorry, it's called "All I Have To Do Is Dream."  I tell you darlings, standards continue to slip.  But take the following lyric: "Whenever I Want You, All I Have to Do is Dream."  I mean, for God's sake!  Isn't that a little too rape-y?  Entitlement much?  More White Privilege on the side?  In this era!  In the era of #MeToo, for God's sake.  The era of #TimesUp. 
Our last debut this week is apparently a sequel, but wanting to still put a Prince-ish twist on the title.  It's called Happy Death Day 2U.  Now, I know you're thinking, but Movie Hooligan!  It's only a PG-13 rated horror pic!  Why should I bother?  And you'd probably be right.  But the local news still has to cover it anyway, because that's what they do.  They talk about the Top 5 movies at the box office, so there's no shame in coming in fifth.  But don't pooh-pooh the PG-13 rating, my friends!  There's a lot you can do with it.  Hollywood's still tinkering with it, really, when you get right down to it.  But these days it definitely means only one "F" word.  (Dreamscape had three)  Why, you almost wait for it in J. J. Abrams productions!  Not Star Wars, though... probably not.  Not even in the Solo one... and it could've used some more cursing!  But enough about swearing, what about the violence?  Oh, the kids know.  Computers have made things so awesome these days.  Morphing, seamless editing, and ultra-violent violence.  I'm still kinda reeling from the season finale of "Ray Donovan, Season 6" myself.  Maybe because of the long Steadi-Cam shot.  Well, cast and crew like a challenge sometimes.  Smitty is the audience's heart, carrying the emotional brunt of it all for the uninitiated.  Sorry, SPOILER ALERT.  Anyway, go see Happy Death Day 2U, because they like the Chucky movies as well.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to changing all my old hyperlinks.  As you may know, I cite the Internet Movie Database a lot.  It's a consistently reliable database about movies that's on the internet... but they do go through a lot of changes.  Which brings me to my latest installment of John Hyland Watch... nope, still a problem!  I mean, this guy must be the Highlander or something!  How do you explain going from acting in 1916's Love's Crucible to being a sound recordist on 2000's "A Hard Look" and the 2005 episode of "Favouritism" called "Boy George's Queerest TV Moments"?  Well, being a Highlander's one way!  As for the change I have to make, well... the old hyperlinks used to be "us.imdb.com" for a time.  Now they don't work.  Now the browser goes into full-on Panic Mode, exclaiming "UNSECURE SITE.  PHISHERS AND SCAMMERS AND NIGERIAN PRINCES, OH MY!!!"  Computers are kinda dumb sometimes, ya know?  Year Zero, My Ass!!!!!

Auteur Watch - Ty Hodges

...oh, he must be related to someone.  Or maybe it's just pure animal magnetism?  Raw charisma?  His IMDb bio page clearly isn't telling the full story.  Plus, it's not as boastful as some.  I gotta work on that, some kind of grading system.  Stay tuned to this Bat Channel.  Anyway, the City Elders that closely guard Auteurville clearly haven't let him in yet.  I mean, have you heard anyone talk about a powerful new voice in the cinema named Ty Hodges?  Egg-zactly.  But he's still got the acting thing as a fallback position.  It's tempting to leap out of your director's chair, thinking you can play the part better than whoever you've chosen to do it, but you gotta not!  It's a delicate balance, a thin line, what have you and all that. 
His best title so far may be his first, called Miles From Home.  And yes, there's a pun involved there.  GENIUS!!!!  Jack Brown Genius.

Vintah Has Come At Last

Brought to you by The Locker on the End.  The Locker on the End!  Seems like a good idea at first, until you get ten guys at once going for their Lockers in the Middle.  Crowded much?  Anyway, Easterners will still taunt me with the whole "Snowflake Newbie" thing... I mean, whatever.  Us here on the West Coast only seem to get a major snowstorm once every ten years or so, but who knows?  Mankind's working on that.  Who knows what exactly climate change will bring?  Drier summers, wetter Autumns, maybe this four to eight inches of snow is a mere warmup, so to speak.  But whatever weather you're dealing with in your part of the country, people were still able to find enough determination to go to the great Story Houses that seem to be all over the place.  The great centers we congregate to, get in line for, maybe some popcorn, then go to sit in the darkened arenas, waiting for storytime to begin.  I like the previews myself; lets me know the system's got a long-term plan for the future.  Sure, Hollywood was worried about Y2K, but c'mon!  Play It to the Bone hasn't come out yet!
...sorry, got distracted again.  Not to mention the whole Candy Crush thing.  I'm stuck on a level in Jelly that seems easier than it looks, and stuck on a level in Soda that's hard, but just because it's been programmed that way.  But you know what?  I play it long enough, the Gods of Randomness will take pity upon me.  I'll keep getting those Color Bombs and the special Paint ones, as if the game's saying "C'mon!  You can DO this!  I can't make it much easier for you, man!"  And speaking of things that exist on a grid, The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part is #1 at the box office!  Huzzah.  Thereby making up for the failure of the Lego Ninjago one.  And finally, once again a sequel that's once again proud of its ordinal number... ordinal?  Cardinal?  What existential crisis are the citizens of Legoland (TM) (R) (C) facing now?  What villain could possibly want to destroy Legoland (R) (C) (TM)?  Are the citizens of Lock Blox getting their sh... act together?  Maybe the Lincoln Log (TM) people are getting desperate?  Ooh!  Maybe the citizens of Spirographville (TM) aren't feeling all the benefits of that toy's semi-triumphant return in more compact, Earth-friendly packaging.  Let me check the plot description... nope, they're keeping it in house on this one.  It says something about Duplo (TM) (R) (C) invaders.  Boy, next thing you know there's going to be an attack by all the old sets and what not.  My favorite that I can't seem to shake from the craw of my mind is the yellow 740 set.  It featured mainly yellow bricks, and you could make a bulldozer with it!  Or one of those trucks with a big-ass shovel on front... holy Crap!  Is that it?  I forgot about all the red roofing tiles, and more importantly, the motor!  Anyway, I understand Duplo's anger.  They're getting phased out on the Fred Meyer shelf, for one.  I guess they never took off because they didn't invest in enough infrastructure to integrate with regular Lego (TM) bricks.  Sure, you could use the 2x2x3 and stick those on top, but they've got the center peg in 'em.  Work on that, Lego!  Or is that the ending of the movie?  Sorry; SPOILER ALERT.
Meanwhile, in second place, it's the gender reversal of 2000's What Women Want called What Men Want.  Now I think I love Taraji P. Henson and Tracy Morgan and all that, but I was getting a little fatigued seeing the same pic over and over again on the IMDb.  I clearly use that site too much.  Anyway, it's a small victory for director and potential Putin lookalike Adam Shankman.  I'm telling you!  Role of a lifetime!  You've worked with Adam Sandler before.  Wotta cameo that would be.  You bump into Sandler at the mall, say "Excuse me pl-y-ease!" and move on, to which Sandler would say "Oh my g'od." or something like that.  I'm assuming Sandler hasn't yet gone the way of Trump and Steven Seagal... has he?  (sniffle, wipe away tear)  Your move, Shawn Levy.  I still insist there's a rivalry 'twixt those two.
...even though Levy's clearly winning.  Anyway, next debut.  Too many debuts this week!  In third place, it's Liam Neeson's latest take on Death Wish and it's called Cold Pursuit.  Neeson himself got into a little hot water, as you might know, with his anecdote about... I believe it was about wanting to kill a racist of a certain ethnic background, and he even had a very specific weapon with which to do it.  Could be time to announce his next and final retirement... whew, thought I was about to lose the power there.  Lotta wind this evening!  Probably will still happen.  I will give a brief shout-out to Green Book in its 13th week in the Top 10.  This'll be Peter Farrelly's first two Oscar (TM) (R) (C) nominations... and the best part is, he doesn't have to share it with omega-brother Bobby!  In yo face.  The fourth and last debut this week is part of that latest wave of new R-rated Conjuring-esque horror movies.  This one's called The Prodigy and it's about a haunted boy.  It's the type of role that Cameron Bright would've played ten years ago.  Like this one!  I probably gotta go.

Auteur Watch - Victor Hobson

Well, if nothing else, I've got my copy of C'mon Man ordered from Netflix (TM) (C) (R), and so should you.  And the cynics say distribution deals are dead!  Shame on them.

After Stardom Ends

Brought to you by the new children's book, "Charlie Brown Meets Winnie the Pooh."  "Execrable," raves the Wall Street Journal.  Vanity Fair Review of Children's Books exclaims "It's the icon matchup of the century that everyone assumed had already happened somewhere else."  Breitbart News raves "More Libtard Pablem for their dwindling Base.  See you at the next White House Correspondents' Dinner, @**h0les!  We'll have TWO tables there."  Man, I'm terrible at multi-tasking!  I gotta hire some elves or something.  Can I at least have a USB port that isn't so slow?  Whatever became of Firewire?  Wasn't that faster?  Anyway, as partially expected, Glass was #1 for the third week in a row... but just barely.  This in fact might change after the official Box Office recount that happens from time to time.  Glass has about 88 million total domestic after three weeks, but it took 150 million in adverts to get that 88 million.
Not much for the debuts this week!  Peter Jackson's World War I doc, They Shall Not Grow Old, emerges at #10, which would normally happen if it got an Oscar (TM) (R) (C) nomination... but it didn't!  Just a BAFTA one!  Well, he's still smarting after Mortal Engines totally ate it at the box office.  Not often do critics and the public agree so strongly.  The only debut to speak of this week is called Miss Bala.  Now, maybe I'm just virulently racist, but I was briefly reminded of Colombiana.  My, how the time does fly. 
But this new version of Miss Bala does smack of Hollywood tinkering a teeny bit.  I mean, take the rare, second pic for example.  Now, see if you can guess which one's the original, and which one's the remake... take your time... that's right!  The one on the left is the original, and it's rated R.  The one on the right, well... I'll bet the girl on the left could pull off the look as well, but whatever.  The remake is a PG-13 affair, and they are of course trying to turn it into the next Taken.  I'll certainly keep my fingers crossed for y'all!  After all, if the 2nd Amendment is so great, shouldn't Mexicans enjoy them as well?  You can see why they'd want to, as well as the rest of the world, for that matter.  Anyway, I will do a mini-Auteur Watch for Catherine Hardwicke, just because.  Well, you gotta hand it to her.  Not many make the leap from production designer to director.  Also, finding the next Twilight ain't easy, and you want to try and pick a project you'll find interesting and all that.  Is there anywhere else in the world that us dumb Americans can look to for inspiration about our Southern border problems?  Vietnam and Korea have the opposite problem that we have.  Must be that whole Coriolis effect or something.  The problem country is in the North for the two of them.  Personally, I think we should just make Mexico the 51st state... something like that.  Might take a while to smooth out the rough edges... maybe a few hundred years.  I'm no international relations expert, Lord knows.  All I know is Reagan told Gorbachev to tear down his wall, not move it to Mexico.  And arguably, that was the real deal!  Barb wire, machine gun nests, secret police to harass anyone who got within 100 yards... how'd that work out for them?  I mean, long term?
