The Pitch: Mirror’s Edge

Michael Tenzer Aug 13, 2010

Though it never made a monolithic splash in the video game market, the frenetic and visually lush first-person thriller, Mirror’s Edge, was able to gain a cult following due to its astonishing skyscraper gymnastics and it’s focus on -running- rather then -fighting-. The game is set against a luminous white-washed environment, throwing the player into a world of geometric blues, red, greens and yellows – a world where every mundane object becomes a path to escape. The sense of tension and anxiety that runs high across the entire gaming experience makes it rife for a cinematic adaptation.

The Slasher's Style: An Brief Introduction To Italian Cinematic Giallo

Michael Liuzza Aug 10, 2010

From Wikipedia:

Giallo (Gialli) is an Italian 20th century genre of literature and film, which in Italian indicates crime fiction and mystery. In the English language it refers to a genre similar to the French fantastique genre and includes elements of horror fiction and eroticism.

Michael Tenzer Aug 06, 2010

Going to a movie theater can be a magical experience...under the right conditions. There's no other place to become so absorbed by a film – its color, its character, its sound – all while sitting in the darkened recesses of a multiplex or independent theater. When the film reel crackles and the speakers grumble you almost instinctively get goosebumps of anticipation. More over, you get to share this feeling with other film lovers, all supposedly there to be consumed by the movie's universe, just like you.

However, there is a heinous, grotesque side to movie theaters. As with any ...

Daddy Loves You: The Year Of The Immoral Opportunist

Nelson Carvajal Aug 04, 2010

When Paul (Mark Ruffalo) cracks a naughty smile while listening to the story of how Jules (Julianne Moore) and Nic (Annette Bening) first met (hint: sexual innuendos swim in that story pond), a mutual sense of playful giddiness permeates through the audience sitting in the auditorium. Although it pains the kids (Mia Wasikowska and Josh Hutcherson) to have to listen to the origins of their lesbian parents’ romance again, for the people watching the movie, it’s a harmless exchange of information. However, it isn’t until the second half of Lisa Cholodenko’s The Kids Are All Right, that ...
