Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman’s Project Power is a superhero-adjacent Netflix movie starring Jamie Foxx, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Dominique Fishback. I write “adjacent” because while the movie revolves around people with super powers no one’s running around anywhere with capes, non de plumes or anything like that. The story revolves around a new drug on […]
“A confident debut by Joseph Gordon-Levitt” Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s “Don Jon” is a remarkably assured debut though the film works as well as it does also because of the editing, which was done by Lauren Zuckerman. It’s amazing how good editing makes a decent film better by controlling how scenes flow from one to the next. But […]
The conclusions that I arrive at below, though logical, are pure speculation (unless they end up being accurate, in which case I knew it the entire time and am a prescient genius).

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is supposedly being considered for the role of Peter Quill on Marvel’s upcoming “Guardians Of The Galaxy.” That’s an interesting bit of news, though not for the reasons that are often quoted. If you read further, you’ll probably hear lots of mentions of his performance in […]
“”The Dark Knight Rises” is an engaging film, but in the end it’s too grounded in the real to soar.” The devastating events in Aurora, Colorado have cast a pall over the launch of Warner Bros. “The Dark Knight Rises,” though if box office receipts are any indicator, the film is weathering the adverse publicity […]
Not quite sure how I feel about Rian Johnson’s “Looper.” Time travel in movies, like great power, must be used responsibly. In most films that is often not the case, since they tend to bend or break rules they have already established as soon as the plot finds them inconvenient. That being said, I am […]
