DAILY CALL SHEET: NOVEMBER 30, 2018

Ferocious Female Freedom Fighters (1982) What if they made What's Up Tiger Lilly?, but without Woody Allen's dialog? God help us, Troma did. TIL: While there are teachings on masculine and feminine roles in general, there's no specific Catholic position on women’s role in combat.

And finally, while the first film in the series left me a little cold, I’ll probably get around to Fantastic Beasts - The Crimes of Grindelwald after reading Catholic Skywalker’s review of it.

Get a Job (2016)

I don't know how Get a Job ended up on my watchlist —I'm pretty sure though it's because I read a positive review of it— but I know that it's been there for too long so I finally decided to give it a chance. 

The film follows Will Davis (Miles Teller), an idealist young man who has just graduated from college. He thinks he has a job lined up after working his ass off as a summer intern but the firm downsize and he needs to find another job. But it's not easy as the work market is saturated with applications and when he returns to his father (Bryan Cranston) for money, he finds out that his father has lost his job and he too is struggling to find a new one. 

This is a film that deals with one of the biggest issues in today's society, the inability to find a job, whether you are young and just graduated from college, or you've been laid off after working for decades for the same company. At the same time, it also pokes fun of a generation of Americans where every little accomplishment is rewarded —partecipations trophies. Seriously people, what is wrong with y'all?

It had the potential to be a very interesting and thought-provoking film but unfortunately, the writers didn't bother with writing a decent storyline; they just took a couple of important themes and placed them in a frat boy comedy with no plot whatsoever, unless you consider the many stupid and ridiculous moments as plot points.

The characters too are non-existing. They are so thin, underdeveloped and bland, they are not worth rooting for. Not to mention how artificial and little believable as human beings they are. The only character I cared about was Will's father but the credits certainly do not go to the writers, but only to Cranston for giving such a good performance and portraying in a believable way what a middle-aged man goes through when he loses his job and how hard it is to compete with much younger people.

Lionsgate Premier, CBS Films

As for the rest of the cast, Teller somehow manages to engage and entertain you a bit, despite the weak script; the others, they have no idea what to do with this. And that shows in terms of comedy as the film really falls flat in that department. There are scenes, specifically those involving bongs, that are designed/written to make the audience laugh but they come off as bland and boring. Even the stripper scene is dull. I'm not a man and I'm not a lesbian but I'm pretty sure a scene like that is supposed to be dull.

2018 New York Film Critics Circle Award Winners

Yesterday the east coast group voted their annual winners for the 87th edition and seems that there is no visible trend from an independent film award and the two major film critics, as for example Best Film category in Gotham went to The Rider, in NBR to Green Book and the NYFCC to Roma.  Data up-to-this-moment suggests there are high probabilities current award season will again be interesting and perhaps even unpredictable which makes all exercises a lot more fun.

In previous years the call-by-many "harbingers of the Oscars nominations" score have been on the lower side but let's hope for the future of cinema that Roma gets an Oscar nomination and hopefully the top AMPAS award.  It's only then -according to several industry articles- that theaters will start to understand how much films distribution has changed thanks to how audiences -we- consume films nowadays.  I don't want theaters to disappear and well-understand they will not relinquish their power without a strong fight, but what wish would immediately disappear or be totally modify is the window release system.  Let's hope fight doesn't last too-long and industry concentrates more in production issues than in distribution.

American awards season just started but after these results, the clearest trends seems to go to Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress; the rest of categories is a clear blur (lol).

DAILY CALL SHEET: NOVEMBER 29, 2018

Deadly Eyes (1982) Fun James Herbert adaptation has wiener dogs in rat suits laying siege to Toronto. Amazingly, they don't even pretend it isn't Canada. TIL: Back-bacon. Yet another reason to be thankful the Church dropped any requirement for the ancient Jewish dietary laws.

And finally, The Curt jester contemplates the value of owning more books than you can read. I sure hope he’s right because my own “to read” pile isn’t getting any smaller.

A Street Cat Named Bob (2016)

I really wanted to see A Street Cat Named Bob when it came out, but I also wanted to read the novel book first so I skipped it. It's been two years and I still haven't bought the book and I decided to watch the film anyway. 

As you may know, the film tells the true story of James Bowen (Luke Treadaway), a homeless drug addict busking on the streets of London. After his OD, he is set up in a rundown apartment block by a social worker (Joanne Froggatt). There, he finds a stray ginger cat who he names Bob and the two soon become inseparable as they go busking together and become somewhat of a London legend. 

Whether you are a cat lover or not, this is arguably a very touching and heartwarming story of hope, friendship, love and compassion that shows how animals are true friends, always by your side, even when you are at your lowest point in life. The problem about the film is that it feels off, and the story doesn't have the effect it's supposed to have. It isn't touching, it isn't engaging, it isn't enjoyable, mainly because the relationship between James and Bob is very charming at first but eventually and quickly wears off.

Also, the story is a bit sugar-coated. Although I haven't read the book, I checked some fact and turns out Betty, the girl who befriends James, was a recovering drug addict herself. In the film, she is the light at the end of the tunnel that helps James to get clean. I guess the filmmakers wanted to make the film more family friendly but can really a movie about a drug addict be family friendly? I don't think so, especially if you decide to include the harsh realities of the drug addict's situation, and A Street Cat Named Bob does that and it does a nice job too.

The acting, on the other hand, is solid. Although I kept thinking about Mr. Mercedes's Brady all the time —his twin Harry plays him in the series—, Luke Treadaway gives a convincing performance as James. His acting leaves something to be desired at times, but overall he's believable as the man who has lost everything and the conveys the struggles of an addict very well. The supporting cast is kinda weak though.

Sony Pictures Releasing

There's something about A Street Cat Named Bob that was beyond annoying for me, the camera work. I can get past the shaky camera, it's in line with the film's theme after all, but when it tries to show the world from the cat's perspective, I really hated those shots.

Thursday Movie Picks: Television Edition: Adapted from a Non-English Series

November too has come to an end which means it's time for another Television Edition for Wandering Through the Shelves' Thursday Movie Picks. This month we have to pick series that are remakes of non-English language series. Without further ado, here are my picks

The Good Doctor (2017- )

Based on the South Korean series of the same name, it follows Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore), a young surgical resident with autism and Savant syndrome. I started watching this only recently —last summer— but it was love at first sight. Sure, it isn't perfect and it is completely unrealistic but it's enjoyable and entertaining. 

Jane the Virgin (2014- )

Based on the Venezuelan telenovela Juana la Virgen, it follows Jane Villanueva (Gina Rodriguez), a young, Christian woman who has decided to stay a virgin until marriage. Her vow becomes complicated when a doctor (Yara Martinez) accidentally inseminated her during a checkup with the sperm of a married man who happens to be the doctor's brother as well as the owner of the hotel where Jane works and the guy she had a crush on as a teenager. I used to love this series, but then I felt like the writers didn't know what to do anymore —ridiculous plot after ridiculous plot— so I stopped watching. 

Ugly Betty (2006-2010)

Based on the Colombian telenovela Yo soy Betty, la fea, it follows Betty Suarez (America Ferrera), a smart, hardworking, wannabe writer who gets a job at a fashion magazine. She isn't your typical fashion girl though and because of it everyone makes fun of her but she doesn't let this stop her. This was one of my favourite series growing up.

The Holiday Calendar Movie Review

The Holiday Calendar (2018)

Watch The Holiday Calendar on Netflix
Written by: Carrie Freedle, Amyn Kaderali
Directed by: Bradley Walsh
Starring: Kat Graham, Quincy Brown, Ethan Peck, Ron Cephas Jones
Rated: TV-PG
Watch the trailer

Plot
A struggling but talented photographer inherits an antique holiday advent calendar, the contents of which seem to predict the future. Will this magical calendar lead her to love this holiday season?

Verdict
If you want a Hallmark channel type Christmas movie that asks very little while providing a predictable story. This is it. It's not a good movie, but it does achieve the goal of being a holiday movie that you can miss large portions at a time and not be lost.
Skip it.

Review
Just in the introduction this crams a lot of Christmas tropes into a very short time.


Abby is a photographer that wishes she was chasing her dream, and Josh is a childhood friend and travel blogger back in town. Josh's hair is an intriguing style choice. At first I thought it was a slicked back middle part like gangsters from the '30s and '40s but it's actually a middle part braid that wraps around his head. He also has a strong affinity for cookies. The movie frequently highlights Josh eating cookies for no discernible reason.

While the movie frequently tries to make it seem like Abby is hard up, she has a seemingly good job and she has a very nice apartment.

Grandpa gives her a special advent calendar. He wanted to be secretive about it which seems difficult when it's three feet tall.

While Abby doesn't notice at first, the calendar seems to foreshadow what will happen during the day. This really seems like a fortune cookie/horoscope scenario that the toys in the advent calendar are so general that you'll find some magical link regardless. The movie actually supports this idea and undercuts the them of the movie, when Abby later reinterprets the meaning the toys had with an even looser connection than the first time.

The most magical thing about the advent calendar is that none of the toys rattle around inside when people carry it. It also lights up with no power source and only opens on prescribed days.

Abby meets a potential love interest when a Christmas tree falls off the roof of his Audi. I have to wonder how he got a tree home previous years. The advent calendar seems to support the connection. There are lots of coincidences, but that relationship goes South when he questions the magical advent calendar.

There's the love triangle, occupational ups and downs, it all works out in the end. You will be able to guess exactly what happens in this movie five minutes in. One question I have is whether the town can support to portrait studios. I'm guessing not.

DAILY CALL SHEET: NOVEMBER 28, 2018

Dreamaniac (1986) Dour debut from DeCoteau has yet another rocker selling his soul for success. Doesn't anybody just practice? TIL: Rock isn't always the Devil's music. Like any art form, it can be done to the glory of God, Satan or, most often, just the artists themselves.

And finally, over at The National Catholic Register, Matthew Archbold settles in ringside for the battle of the ages. It’s Frank Capra vs. the Devil!

Juliet, Naked (2018)

I love Ethan Hawke —I'm pissed at him for what he said about comic book movies though— and because of it, I added Juliet, Naked on my watchlist without even knowing what it was about. And if it wasn't for Big Screen Small Words who picked it for a Thursday Movie Picks a couple of weeks ago, I probably would have never watch it.

Anyways, the film is set in England and follows Annie (Rose Byrne), a going on 40 woman who is stuck in a long-term relationship with Duncan (Chris O'Dowd), a college teacher who is obsessed with American rocker Tucker Crowe (Ethan Hawke). One day, someone mails Duncan an album of acoustic demos of Tucker's hit album, he and Annie listen to it separately, they have an argument over its quality, Annie writes a negative review on Duncan's website and she gets an email reply from Crowe himself. He agrees with her, and they hit off real quick. 

Unlike what you may be thinking from that right now, it is not the typical and predictable boy meets girl story filled with clichés and unrealistic plot points romantic comedies love nowadays. Instead, it is a compelling, sweet and lighthearted story about love, relationships and parenting. It is about feeling and being stuck —a human condition I identify with—, and the attempts to deal with it. It is about second chances. It's about finding your own path in life. It is also about learning that there's a difference between the way a fan sees his/her idol and the harsh reality. Yes, it's a lot for an hour and a half long movie, but believe me when I say that the filmmakers managed to make it all fit in and nicely develop all of them. 

No matter how much I loved the story though, my favourite part of Juliet, Naked was the characters. They do seem a little ridiculous at times and the film pokes fun at them because of that —it works, by the way— but at the same time they are believable and feel like real human beings as they all are flawed individuals. They are interesting and compelling and ultimately we care about them.

Lionsgate & Roadside Attractions, Universal Pictures, Focus Features

Of course, it wouldn't be the same if it wasn't for the talented cast. Rose Byrne is very likeable as Annie, a woman who has spent fifteen years of her life with a man she is unhappy with. She is the kind of woman who's always worried, always afraid to let herself go and therefore always ends up doing the right thing, and Byrne portrays that very well. Ethan Hawke is terrific as Tucker, the faded rock star whose life turned out way different than he, and his fans, thought, and gives yet another of his charming performances as he captures the man's clumsy attempts at righting his wrongs and facing his responsibilities. At last, Chris O'Dowd gives a memorable perfomrnace as Duncan, a man who sees a lot in everyone but those very close to him. His character is kind of the villain of the story and yet he manages to make him sympathetic.

As for the comedy side, Juliet, Naked is not the type of film where you laugh like there's no tomorrow. It's the type of comedy with subtle and clever humour sneaked into the interesting, witty dialogue. As for the drama, it's not the type of drama that makes you cry or bores you, but the type of drama that is relatable. And the filmmakers did a wonderful job at balancing those two aspects.

2018 National Board of Review Awards Winners

Yesterday afternoon the NBR announced its winners and its choices gives us a sight into the Awards Season that seems this year will be not surprising but a little bit unpredictable with perhaps honors wealth spreading all over the place.  We have to recall the NBR is made up of film enthusiasts, industry professionals, academics and filmmakers which makes the organization a quite interesting blend from all walks of life.

In past awards seasons group have honored films that went to have Oscar nominations and/or wins.  Last year their top winner was The Post but also honored The Florida Project, Lady Bird, Phantom Thread, Call Me By Your Name, and Coco, all of which ended up receiving Oscar nominations.  So, the group heterogeneity gives them good predictable record for nominations.  Still, believe group has a spotty record for predicting winners.

This year's top award went to a film that "surprised" internet film pundits as not many were predicting or expecting Green Book to win.  Can't say I'm surprised with A Star Is Born collecting top honors as found film not really outstanding but a so-so copy of the 1976 (too-many identical scenes, especially the beauty takes of Cooper and Kristofferson eyes) and I'm not saying I found the 1976 version good; anyway, a film like this one is expected to impact in a cinematic world where top grossing films are made based on comics characters, sigh.

NBR president Annie Schulhof said, "We are proud to honor Green Book as our best film — it is a warm and heartfelt look at a remarkable friendship, brought to the screen at a moment where its story of love, compassion and shared humanity deeply resonates. We are also thrilled to award Bradley Cooper as our best director — he is an extraordinary talent behind the camera, bringing a fresh and modern perspective, as well as superb craftsmanship and tremendous heart, to the classic story of A Star Is Born."

DAILY CALL SHEET: NOVEMBER 27, 2018

Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest (1995) Foster-brat plants possessed corn in the big city. Actually not as bad as you're thinking. TIL: Cain's offering wasn't rejected because it was crops, but more likely because he only gave his leftovers. God deserves our best.

Pretty in Pink (1986)

The day after watching a heavy film —yesterday's was Papillon— I always feel like watching something light. This time I went with something cheesy too, John Hudges's Pretty in Pink, a teen movie I've been meaning to see since I saw and loved The Breakfast Club. Yes, I know Hudges did not direct this but he still wrote it. 

Anyways, this film follows Andie (Molly Ringwald), a beautiful and smart high school senior who lives with her unemployed and drinking father (Harry Dean Stanton). She only has two real friends one of whom is a guy called Duckie (Jon Cryer) who has a crush on her since the dawn of times and is completely devoted to her. She falls for a rich kid, Blane (Andrew McCarthy), who has mutual feelings, but both Duckie and Blade's friend, Steff (James Spader), disapprove of their relationship. 

The story is very clichéd as it is the typical story about two people from opposite sides of society —the rich guy and the poor girl, in this case— who fall in love and cause disappointment, bitterness and disapprovement among their friends. It is very predictable throughout, and yet it is engaging and fun to watch. The ending, on the other hand, I felt robbed by it. While it makes sense for the film to end the way it does as it's trying to show that love can overcome differences and everyone's disapproval, it's disappointing nevertheless.  

And the reason for that is the characters, specifically Dickie. He is written and portrayed in a way that he ends up being very likeable and sympathetic, way more than his "rival" Blane, so, by the end, I was really hoping Andie would pick him over Blane. Yes, I actually hoped the film would end in the most predictable way possible. Also, Blane was such a bland character, I'd rather have Andie picking Steff over him. The biggest disappointment though is Andie. The character overall is alright but they really ruined her at the end. I was expecting her to make a big entrance wearing that pink dress, without giving a damn about the others, rising above them all but eventually, she needs Duckie to even set foot in the dance room.

As for the cast, Molly Ringwald gives a fine performance as she is very believable in the lead role of Andie. It's the supporting cast though that shine in here. Harry Dean Stanton is excellent as Andie's loving but lazy father, James Spader is great as the rich jerk, and Annie Potts is amusing as Andie's co-worker Iona, but it's John Cryer who completely steals the show as Duckie.

Paramount Pictures

Another problem I had with Pretty in Pink was the comedy, it just didn't work that well for me. While I did appreciate the lack of silly jokes or slapstick, and Duckie's singing moment was quite funny and memorable, the film didn't make me laugh much. For me, this works better as a drama, and not even one of the good ones. It's pretty engaging throughout though, I'll give it that.

2018 Film Critics Awards Final

Today, Monday, February 4th, 2019 the post has become final with the inclusion of the last group winners. By now we know that film critics/journalists and those who make the movies are really in different mind sets when they evaluate films released in 2018.

From the five categories with summaries here and with the exception of best actress, film critics have clear winners: Roma if best film, Alfonso Cuaron in best director, Ethan Hawke in best actor and, Mr. Rogers doc in best documentary.

From those four categories Industry and film critics only coincide, up-to-today- with Alfonso Cuaron winning directing and Roma still has possibilities as has 11 Oscar nominations and one is for Best Picture.  But when it comes to best actor category they are far away as Ethan Hawke doesn't have an Oscar nomination; same happens with Won't You Be My Neighbor?, so, there are no chances to coincide at all.

This award season has been strange, unusual and highly atypical; not clear for the reason why the distance between Industry and film critics happened.  If I have to take sides then tend to like what film critics like it as do believe Roma is an out-of-the-ordinary film, Cuaron should win, Ethan Hawke gave his best performance to date-better than those with Oscar nomination-, and believe Olivia Colman gave an extraordinary performance in an extraordinary film, a performance slightly better than Glen Close, but if Close wins will be alright as she's great in The Wife, she really saves the so-so movie.  Do not agree in documentary as found Mr. Rogers doc boring to say it kindly and with very low production values, so agree with the Academy for not giving doc an Oscar nomination.

So, this is it for this year.  Hope to see you all next award season.

---///---
Today, November 27 the post becomes alive again for another year and activity will become intense until a week before Christmas when will quiet a bit; then January activity will gain full force to end quietly around the first weeks of February 2019.

By now all the fuzz and buzz about #Oscars2019 foreign-language submissions is over and it's time to start with all the fuzz and buzz from film critics that always gives you a better idea about the films that could win nominations and the one that will collect the award.  Yes, we know that not very often great films win AMPAS accolades, so IF wish to guess right on the Oscars office pool or any of the many online polls -some with good prices- then here will find info for better guessing.  Enjoy!

Post will be a work in progress until the last critics group announces their winner which will happen in early February 2019.

Most critics' groups are American but you will also find groups from Canada, Ireland and UK -if info becomes available online.  This year will include again the FIPRESCI Grand Prix, an award voted by film critics from all over the world.  As in previous years' posts will publish link to read all the winners and will list winners in the following categories:  Best Film, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Actor and Best Documentary.  Before the list, and to have ALL critics info in one post, is the summary for major film critics' groups; each major group has a post in blog.

By now most know that announced or estimated date for each critics' group announcement is in blog's 2018/2019 Key Dates Calendar.  Most dates come from group official site while some estimates come from industry sources.

28th Annual IFP Gotham Award Winners

Last night, November 26th, the Independent Filmmaker Project (IFP) announced the winners of the current edition of the annual Gotham Awards at a ceremony held at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.

The awards ceremony had a live stream and if you wish to check it today, Tuesday November 27th is still playable at IFP facebook site here.

Most industry and entertainment news dispatches are manifesting their "surprise" with the top winner but then they probably forgot that film was in 2017 Cannes at the Quinzaine where won the International Confederation of Art Cinemas (C.I.C.A.E.) Art Cine Award, an award that undoubtedly assures film is artful and perhaps the CICAE jury decision speaks better about the winning film:

"For the creative combination of documentary and fiction, sensitively involving the viewer into the movie, by building the strong empathy with the characters, also for showing American mythology in an unexpected way."

The Rider by Chloé Zhao won best feature and beat award season favorite contenders like The Favourite, First Reformed, and If Beale Street Could Talk.  In my book defeating Yorgos Lanthimos and Steve McQueen is absolutely outstanding.  Congrats!

Do not believe film honor at an independent awards from the East Coast will assure honors in the West Coast, not at Oscars nor at Spirit Awards where it wasn't nominated because it was nominated last year! Sigh.

Not really surprised with Best Actress winner even do was expecting Glenn Close in The Wife to win but award went to Toni Collette in Hereditary, a performances that has positively captivated many film critics and audiences.  Emma Stone, Olivia Colman and Rachel Weisz were not nominated for best actress category as the three won the ensemble performance Special Gotham Jury Award for their outstanding performance in The Favourite.

This year, Rachel Weisz, Willem Dafoe, Paul Greengrass and Jon Kamen all received the Gotham Awards' 2018 Tributes.  Sandra Lee was honored with the Made in NY award.

These are all the award winners.
