A.C.T. Young Conservatory Presents The Cripple Of Inishmaan 11/6-14
6 November 2009 1:30 AM, PST | BroadwayWorld.com | See recent BroadwayWorld.com news »
A.C.T. Young Conservatory (Yc) proudly presents Martin McDonagh's The Cripple of Inishmaan, directed by W. D. Keith. Three teenagers living on a tiny island off the coast of Ireland in 1933 dream of escaping the dreary confines of their lives, but no one more so than "Cripple" Billy, a disabled orphan and village outcast. When the local gossip spreads the news that a Hollywood film crew is shooting a movie on a neighboring island, the three teens set sail to try for a role in the film-but Billy embarks on an altogether different kind of journey. This dark comedy by Tony Award-winning Irish writer Martin McDonagh, writer and director of the hit film In Bruges, delivers witty banter, piercing dialogue, and a cast of local characters as genuinely likable as they are imperfect, brilliantly performed by A.C.T.'s Young Conservatory. The Cripple of Inishmaan plays November 6-14, 2009, at Zeum Theater, »

Up until A Serious Man, I don't think many would call Ethan and Joel Coen serious men. Looking at Fargo, Burn After Reading, and Raising Arizona, it's clear the Coens prefer to brandish their wickedly black, and sophisticated humor than make forays into stone-faced dramas. Even last year, when the two adapted Cormac McCarthy's heavily philosophical masterpiece No Country For Old Men, the film came out darkly sardonic. This makes their latest film so fascinating. Yes, there is still humor, but it's also heavily meditative and profound.
The cast is largely made up of unknown faces. The protagonist, Larry Gobnik, is played by Michael Stuhlbarg. He's a Jewish physics professor in the mid-west in 1967. His son is a unambituous pothead, »

Greatest Coens Moments
29 October 2009 11:15 PM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
My first brush with Joel & Ethan Coen was the Nic Cage fun fest Raising Arizona, and although they have slightly misfired with some of their films -lots of people hated Ladykillers, but it's Man Who Wasn't There that left me cold- they populated my brains with a lifetime of unforgettable cinematic moments. The folks from Total Film compiled a video-assisted list of the 25 Greatest Coens Moments, with plenty of Dude and Buscemi to go around. I agree with many of their choices, but... »

London Film Festival 2009: A Serious Man
29 October 2009 9:55 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
A Serious Man Directed by Joel Coen The Coens are getting positively prolific these days, treating their hardcore fans with a movie a year, and with their latest release, A Serious Man they have taken the comedic strand of their work into uncharted waters to deliver possibly their most haunting and certainly their most personal work to date. Introduced in person in their characteristically succinct manner at this year's Lff, the film, after a mysterious prologue set in a nostalgic Shtetl alights in late 1960's Minnesota. Jewish professor - and I only stress the Jewish status as it is instrumental to the film's chutzpah - Larry Gopnik (Michael Stuhlbarg) is not having a good month. After taking tests for a mystery medical ailment Gopnik is accosted by a disgruntled South Korean student who subsequently attempts to discredit his reputation with anonymous letters to the tenure committee after Gopnik failed him in a critical test. »

Review: Bad Lieutenant - a truly orginal remake
26 October 2009 10:56 AM, PDT | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »
I've got to say, that the thought of handing over the keys of a cliche ridden traditional cop thriller to Werner Herzog and letting him drive it out of the showroom, is partly a stroke of genius and partly, or completely, totally and absolutely, insane. Not that Abel Ferrara's 1992 film (one which Herzog claims he's still never seen) was anything traditional of course. What's weird with this revamp (remake, reboot, re imagining... whatever) is that at first glance, it looks, walks and talks like an episode of a television cop show. Hey... I said at first glance. We're in New Orleans, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina (that bitch) and Terence McDonaugh (Cage - a jokey reference to trouble maker H.I McDonaugh in the Coen's Raising Arizona?) avoids the brow beating of a partner to rescue a crook from a jail cell. A shot sharp glance at a good side of someone who, »

The Last Poster For The Road
22 October 2009 3:53 AM, PDT | SciFiCool.com | See recent SciFiCool.com news »
It’s just another month before we get to see just how awesome and awesomely depressing the adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s novel “The Road” is going to be. I’m going in steely eyed and will have a copy of “Raising Arizona” (funniest movie ever made) on the dvd, spun up and ready for when I get home. Here in the, probably final, theatrical poster is all the information you need about how desperate and crappy two people can feel while on the road after the end of the world. »

Review: A Serious Man
16 October 2009 2:00 PM, PDT | Slackerwood | See recent Slackerwood news »
The Coen brothers' latest film, A Serious Man, is hard to categorize. It's not one of the light-hearted funny films like Raising Arizona ... its comedy is far darker than Burn After Reading. I liked it much better than No Country for Old Men, which just didn't grab me. This is a low-budget movie that is obviously not meant to appeal to a wide audience, but viewers who are smart enough and interested enough to get involved with this story will find it extremely rewarding. And perhaps a little frustrating -- well, that's the Coens for you.
The cast of A Serious Man has no stars -- at best, the characters actors might look vaguely familiar to you. Michael Stuhlbarg plays Larry Gopnik, the central character of the film. In the late 1960s, Larry is a mathematics professor at a small Midwest college -- up for tenure, but a little worried about his chances. »

‘A Serious Man’ Plays as Masterfully Fictionalized Autobiography For Joel, Ethan Coen
11 October 2009 10:20 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – “A Serious Man” isn’t the story of Joel and Ethan Coen’s lives. But you might not necessarily know it. While the brothers continue to turn their films into Hollywood gold, this 1967-set black comedy is among the more personal projects in their repertoire.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
That gamut is growing into a serious catalog with “Burn After Reading,” 2007 best-picture Oscar winner “No Country for Old Men,” “The Ladykillers,” “O Brother, Where Art Thou?,” “The Big Lebowski,” “Fargo” and “Raising Arizona” now under their yamakas over the course of two decades.
While the yamaka is designed to signify deference to god, “A Serious Man” pays homage to the Coens’ culture in an authentically Jewish way. But this is more than just one of the more Jewish films you’ve seen since “Schindler’s List”. “A Serious Man” is powered by a highly internal script and actors who externalize a series of very unfortunate events. »

Trailer: Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
8 October 2009 8:24 PM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
Every so often in Nicolas Cage’s career comes a film that reminds you why he’s so prevalent these days, in crappy films like Bangkok Dangerous and Ghost Rider. A film that hearkens back to Raising Arizona, or even something silly and entertaining like Face/Off. Werner Herzog’s Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans could be that film.
This trailer displays just the right dose of good direction, interesting ideas, and over the top (good over the top) Nicolas Cage. It’s enough to get me excited for the film’s release, which is currently unscheduled.
It also gives a glimpse at performances by Val Kilmer and Xzibit. What a pair!
Keep your fingers crossed that we actually have a good Nicolas Cage performance on our hands. As much as I love to slam the guy, I’d be eager to see him prove me wrong. View the trailer below. »

What I Watched, What You Watched: Installment #11
4 October 2009 4:04 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
This week, after reading over Laremy's list of Top Ten Coen Bros. Films I figured it was about time to watch the four remaining films of theirs I had not yet seen. On top of that I continued my viewing of the new 13 film Paul Newman DVD Collection with a film I loved that ultimately ended up inspiring me to watch another 1958 Newman film. It was a relatively slow week for me, but there's enough to make for a conversation.
As always, remember you can keep tabs on my personal Netflix queue right here. I now have 50 friends on the movie rental site and would love to have a few more if those of you out there with accounts are interested. Now, here's the recap of my week in movies...

Film Review: 'A Serious Man'
2 October 2009 9:59 PM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
It is hard to imagine any two directors or writers in all of Hollywood who have been as consistently on their game as Joel and Ethan Coen. From Raising Arizona, to Fargo, to The Big Lebowski, to O Brother Where Art Thou, to No Country for Old Men, the Coens have shown that they are masters of their craft, and prolific ones at that, whether tackling the most serious and disturbing of material, ridiculous humor, or everything that somewhere falls in between. A Serious Man marks their latest accomplishment in filmmaking. It is one of those films that falls in between, taking a serious look at a particular character and his family, while taking time to let the humor of life’s often inane situations find its way to the surface. As comparisons seem unavoidable, A Serious Man may not go down as the Coen Brothers’ “best” film to date, »
