The Black Dahlia
Directed by Brian De Palma
From IMDB: Two policemen see their personal and professional lives fall apart in the wake of the “Black Dahlia” murder investigation.
Based on a true case, De Palma’s version veers to far into the personal lives of its subjects instead of taking a cold hard look at the case at hand. Josh Hartnett stars as Dwight “Bucky” Bleichert, a tough-as-nails boxer turned detective, who vies for the love of Scarlett Johansson’s underwhelming Kay Lake, along w/ her current love interest Lee Blanchard, played by Aaron Eckhart. Thrown in the mix is Hilary Swank’s mysterious bi-sexual Madeleine Linscott. Swank acts Hartnett and Johansson under the table, and Dahlia’s plot is too convoluted for anyone to care about whodunit by the end.
The Black Dahlia wasn’t good when I saw it in the theater in 2006, and it wasn’t any better the second time around. Skip this one.

Marvin Seth & Stanley
Written & Directed by Stephen Gurewitz
The driving force behind Stephen Gurewitz’s 72 min feature Marvin Seth & Stanley is Alex Karpovsky’s phenomenal turn as Seth, Stanley’s (Gurewitz) semi-successful older brother, who, amidst an impending divorce, is forced to cope with his feelings about his ailing father.
Marvin, played by Gurewitz’s real-life father, a recovering heart attack survivor, takes time off from his secret job to take his two adult sons on a camping trip where past grudges erupt into hilarious family feuding.
Part of the NoBudge Live Screening Series (May 14th - 24th), Marvin Seth & Stanley made it’s one-night-only online debut May 23rd. Not only does Karposvsky dominate as the older brother, Gurewitz’s direction and writing shine throughout this comically melancholic look at young adulthood and the struggle to feel comfortable amongst family.
Gurewitz combines the neurosis of Woody Allen with the terseness of Vincent Gallo for a beautifully comic performance, in which he promises on more than one occasion to take down his older brother with a “leg sweep.”
Adam Ginsberg’s cinematography lingers just long enough on the subjects and his editing leaves you wanting just a little more.
Shot on a shoestring budget of $5,000, Marvin Seth & Stanley turned out to be more than just a really great indie film; it’s one of my favorite films of 2012 so far. Watch out for Gurewitz! He’s going to blow up cinema if he keeps this up!
Tune into NoBudge where Kentucker Audley is curating some important indie shorts and features. With this Live Screening Series, including live director Q & A’s, he’s also revolutionizing the online film festival.

Insidious
Directed by James Wan
Starring Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne, Insidious plays like a really well-crafted version of Paranormal Activity for three quarters of the film and then trails off into a weird hellish dreamscape that isn’t quite scary enough.
Parts of this film had me hooked, the tension is good, and Lin Shaye is awesome. The last shot of the film is perfect too!

Walk 400 yards, due North, from your house to the dirt path which has not got any name on it. Turn right and follow to the end. I will meet you in the meadow.

The Master
Welp, looks like Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest will likely blow every other film this year out of the water…
Can’t wait to see this! Check out more information on it at The Master website.
I Melt With You
Written & Directed by Mark Pellington
Starring Thomas Jane, Rob Lowe, Christian McKay (phenomenal), and Jeremy Piven
From IMDB: “When four 40-something college friends meet up for their annual reunion, things start to spiral out of control, and a pact they made as young men is revisited.”
Gorgeous cinematography by Eric Schmidt and masterfully directed by Pellington, I Melt With You surprised me; keeping me on the edge of my seat with tense character-driven drama.
Absolutely see this film immediately!
