Bury Your Sins | Review of Get Low
Get Low is the story of a man trying to forgive someone. He has kept anger and pain bottled inside him for forty years, waiting for a reason to let it out to the world and forgive the unforgivable. The only problem is the person he has to forgive… is himself. Read the rest of this entry »
Michael Cera’s Favorite Films
Here at Filmdogs, we have a bit of a love hate relationship with Michael Cera. Although he has proven to filmgoers that he has talent, the jury still seems to be out on his cinematic range. I, for one, thought he was very good in Arrested Development, Superbad, and Youth and Revolt, while also acknowledging that he was completely underwhelming and unfunny in both Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist and Year One. That said, one thing that Filmdogs definitely agrees on is that Cera brought his “A” game and more to Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Well, now we can get a look at some of the films that inspire Michael Cera, and I must say he has good taste. Intervals of Awesome originally posted the list which features some Kurosawa, Scorsese, and Anderson (Wes and P.T.). Continue on to check out the list.

The Stream | Vol. IV
The Stream is a new column that acts as a venue for Filmdogs writers to post shorter reviews of movies they have watched on streaming video services such as Netflix, Hulu, or even YouTube. Let’s get started.
Black Narcissus (1947)
Written and directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, Black Narcissus is a film so spectacular, I am saddened that it has taken me this long to watch it. Deborah Kerr plays Sister Clodagh, the head nun in charge of leading a group of her fellow sisters to a palace in the Himalayas and setting up a school. Black Narcissus has heavily influenced both Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese, and in Scorsese’s Shutter Island there is a fantastic reference to this film. In 1947, the flashback scenes of Kerr’s character were banned by the Catholic Legion of Decency, and I am still amazed that this film was made at all. Watching these nuns questioning their faith and sanity is quite unnerving and the tension drips in every scene. Deborah Kerr and Kathleen Byron as Sister Ruth are exceptionally great as rivals of good and evil. This is an amazingly haunting film.

Scene Stealer | Ghostbusters: Mass Hysteria
Actor Bill Murphy has recently been kind enough to debunk rumors surrounding a third Ghostbusters film saying, “It’s all a bunch of crock”. He also adds this intelligence about the proposed writers, (The guys behind last year’s panned Year One and episodes of The Office)
I never went to see Year One, but people who did, including other Ghostbusters, said it was one of the worst things they had ever seen in their lives. So that dream just vaporized. That was gone. But it’s the studio that really wants this thing. It’s a franchise. It’s a franchise, and they made a whole lot of money on Ghostbusters.”
It’s good to know that this film isn’t going anywhere. We would really want to see a younger crop of Ghostbusters taking over for our beloved crew? I think not, and this scene from the original film illustrates why.
The Ghostbusters have been put in front of the mayor of NYC to plead their cause, and to get the villain played by William Atherton off their backs. It’s my favorite scene from the movie and features three of it’s best lines. Read the rest of this entry »
Trailer Exam | “Get Low”
With Predators opening this weekend and Inception and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World still ahead of us, it seems if the summer movie season is finally picking up. That said there are still very few intimate character dramas floating around until fall. One exception, however, is Aaron Schneider’s Get Low. Set in the 1930s, Get Low is the true story of a man who throws his own funeral party while he is still alive. The trailer has a great comedically poignant tone and showcases some of the film’s fantastic cinematography. Plus, the cast alone should be enough to pique any filmgoer’s interest. The film stars Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek, Bill Murray, Lucas Black and opens on July 30th. Check out the trailer below.
