the switch ( 2010 film )
' s film life of crime (2014) started off with the title
the switch

despite a novel plot device, the switch is a disappointingly formulaic film and at times quite soulless .

the switch ,
the very dry romantic comedy starring jennifer aniston and jason bateman, is what you might call a bate - and - switch affair. more his journey than hers, more satire than slapstick, the film is that rare example of rom - com about men, which turns out to be a nice switch indeed .

despite a strong cast and technical specs, the switch remains another easily disposable entertainment built out of the rubble of a promising literary prospect .
the production of the film, and the marketing of it, turned into sort of a meta experience for skyler and the crew of wildcats she had to help her, such as film students hannah sweet and alex zhao, who helped primarily with the marketing aspects: promoting the film on social media, helping assemble miniature promotional cardboard brillo boxes and learning about how a filmmaker' s process doesn' t end when the film is finished .

that sort of critical reception, and a summary rejection from the sundance film festival, should have seen birdemic shelved and forgotten about by everyone except the poor, benighted souls who worked on the film. but nguyen, who has cheerfully admitted that he
never went to film school
, refused to be beaten by the simple fact he had made a terrible, appalling movie .
the film on lamotta' s life was adapted from his 1970 memoir

although the film was a minor commercial success, deniro won an academy award in 1980 for best actor and trained with lamotta in the ring for the fight scenes .

james nguyen has achieved all that. but not quite in the way he expected. his horror film, birdemic: shock and terror, is now being hailed as the worst film ever made. indeed its sheer awfulness is at the core of its rapidly growing success .

skyler heard about the auction just in time to go film it, and shot intermittently through 2013. the editing process went on until early 2016. last month, the film debuted on hbo (after running the gamut of international film festivals), and is now streaming on hbo go, hbo now and on - demand. the film is showing at the loft at p. m. on sunday, sept. 24, as a part of national arthouse theatre day celebration. the screening will be followed by a q & a with skyler and loft cinema program director jeff yanc .

in late 2009 a successful campaign was launched by jon morter and his wife tracy to promote an alternative to the omnipresent x - factor winner being the christmas # 1 in the uk singles chart. the track they nominated as the alternative was “killing in the name” by rage against the machine. the band supported the campaign, donated the proceeds from the sales to charity and lead singer zack de la rocha promised that rage against the machine would perform a free concert in the uk to celebrate the achievement. this went ahead in london’s finsbury park on 6th june 2010 and it is that fiery set that is captured on this film .

well, it could be because the reentry drastically changed the atmospheric conditions in the pod which may have caused calvin to go dormant. alternatively, calvin plans to use david as bait to get out of the pod. either way, the film ends with multiple boats coming to the pod to rescue david as he screams for them to not to. they manage to open the pod. the film ends. earth is doomed unless there is a sequel .
drucker starred in nickelodeon’s series every witch way and was most recently seen in the film barely lethal with hailee steinfeld. he’s repped by industry, coast to coast and myman abel .
bateman and aniston are fine but don' t have any real chemistry together, whilst the direction is flat and rather uninteresting. it has the occasional good moment, but

as it happens, just how to end the film was much debated by those more directly involved. one of these was scorsese' s psychiatric adviser, professor james gilligan of new york university. on a visit to the location where most of the film was shot, the now - abandoned medfield state hospital in massachusetts, i asked the professor what was really supposed to be happening. his answer was clear cut .

not that nguyen is complaining. he has endured all the laughter and jokes at his expense with sheer delight, attending many of the screenings in person and soaking up the attention. indeed he is now working on a sequel to be called birdemic: the resurrection. as horror film blogger melissa lafsky wrote :

i rather suspect that bateman' s intensely neurotic, sweater - vest - wearing finance professional, wally, is the cause of the film' s marketing difficulties - - but he' s also what makes

more interesting than your average rom - com. this kind of movie is normally expected to focus on the female character' s traumas and travails, but aniston' s kassie is more like the sidekick or enabler for wally' s long and angst - ridden voyage of self - discovery, which begins with him exiling himself to the role of her gay best friend .
television offered him the chance to return to his villainous ways as a satanic church leader of a polygamous group in 39 episodes of big love (2006 - 2010). on the whole, the quality of his films declined, but stanton could always be relied upon to hold audience’s attention, paradoxically, with his understated portrayals. “usually, i just play myself, ” stanton explained. “whatever psychological traumas or conflicts i’m going through at the time i try to put into the role. sometimes it’s quite a feat to pull off, but sometimes it works. ” his final film, lucky, directed by john carroll lynch, is due for release at the end of september .

is the collected works of preston sturges and ernst lubitsch, but that' s not a fair standard of comparison. taken on its own terms, it' s a light, sweet, curiously enjoyable misfit romance, whose real star is not aniston but her magnificently awkward lothario, jason bateman .
this article aims at explaining the plot and ending of the movie life (2017). spoiler alert! life is brought to us by director jorge daniel espinosa. the film is about a crew on a space station which is conducting research on mars’ soil. the movie stars jake gyllenhaal, rebecca ferguson, ryan reynolds, hiroyuki sanada, ariyon bakare and olga dihovichnaya. this is a rare film of jake’s where you don’t have to put in many hours to understand the movie’s plot. it’s rather straightforward except for a few bits. there was a rumour that the film is a prequel to a movie about venom (spiderman). well, no it’s not. ryan reynolds is now deadpool so his contract wouldn’t allow him to feature in a venom’s prequel. let’s get to the plot .

team it would give the movie the same level of support that helped turn sandra bullock' s romantic comedy

bateman' s comic wiles are considerable, his ironic inflections deadly — and his ability to turn off a good portion of any audience, undeniable. he is not an actor who cares much about being liked .
the film had a lot of different beginnings ,
she says .
because we had this photo in our family album [ of me with the brillo box ] and it was always kind of a mystery.' how did we get this warhol? what was the role this had in our family?'
for the film, skyler interviewed everyone from her parents to museum curators to artist peter young (the artist behind the piece skyler' s parents traded their brillo box for), who lives over in bisbee. hearing all of these perspectives on the same object makes you feel like you' re looking at the brillo box through a kaleidoscope: this story definitely has more than six sides .
second runner - up was luca guadagnino’s call me by your name, a heartbreaking love story and coming - of - age tale set in the italian countryside. the film centres on 17 - year - old elio (timothee chalamet) who finds himself infatuated with an older student (armie hammer) working for his father .

in 2010, skyler' s mom told her to check out the christie' s catalogue, and there it was: the same yellow box that skyler' s parents had perched her atop for photo opportunities as a baby. skyler was sure it was the same one because a) warhol had produced mostly large white brillo boxes (the yellow ones were much more rare), and b) because, at her father' s behest (he wanted there to be evidence that the piece was an authentic warhol), warhol had signed the bottom of her family' s brillo box in red crayon .

perhaps we can guess. according to gilligan ,
martin scorsese said this film will make double the income because people will have to see it a second time to understand what happened the first time .
so marty at least may have known what he was doing. shutter island has already become his highest - grossing picture to date .
from the desk in her office, where the group of filmmakers is gathered, skyler is beaming. to her, what makes art appealing is exactly what you see in it for yourself, whether it' s a cardboard brillo box, a wooden warhol reproduction, a film about both or even a miniature promotional reproduction of a reproduction .
here she moves through the film effortlessly adjusting kassie' s emotional colors, slipping into friend, girlfriend and mommy mode as needed, reminding us just how good she was at sharing center stage in
friends .
( it also makes it easier to forget about the spring fiasco of
the bounty hunter
and last year' s
love happens .
)
shutter island is no impenetrable art - house enigma: it' s an old - fashioned noirish thriller that ends with a massive plot twist. as such, you might have thought it would have been easy to understand. in fact, since the film was released in march, the blogosphere' s been awash with debate about what actually happens in the final scene .
when i heard about the switch, a romantic comedy starring jennifer aniston as a manhattan singleton who decides to get pregnant on her own, i confess that i had no desire to see it. i’d already been through jennifer lopez in the back - up plan, and frankly, one screwball sperm - donor chick flick per year seemed more than enough. but the switch is a pleasant surprise. it’s a by - the - numbers movie, but the dots that get connected feel new. aniston, playing a forward - thinking lonely girl, is at her most sexy and charming — and no, i’m not saying that to be nice, i’m saying it because she’s sexy and charming, dammit. why all the internet brickbats toward this woman? sure, a lot of her movies (such as the bounty hunter) are crap, but that has more to do with the current state of romantic comedy than it does with her willowy and buoyant middle - class appeal .
; however, all four landed on the top of the chart. leading the was way
the icelandic drama “under the tree” has its finger on the pulse of today’s irrational times .

it' s unclear if the five survived the sinking or never got on the boat .
this debate shows some signs of being rekindled: growing understanding of brain physiology is reawakening interest in tinkering with its workings. gilligan, however, is firmly opposed to this trend, and keen to see psychosocial treatments defended. shutter island the book shows such a treatment failing. the film, according to gilligan, shows it succeeding, at least in dispelling delusion .
a second look at the film suggests that gilligan' s reading must be right. in his final murmurings, dicaprio is clearly trying to act as if he' s acting. after uttering that last line, he leaps up and strides purposefully into the midst of the waiting lobotomists; they don' t have to jump him. so why all the mystery? why weren' t things just made a little bit clearer ?
july started out rather well, and while there was a little weakness in the end, four films surpassed $ 100 million, and another could join them soon. that said, there don' t appear to be any $ 100 million movies opening in august; in fact, there is a chance none will come close. worse still, august of last year saw three $ 100 million movies open in the first three weeks. there' s almost no chance that will happen this year, so 2010 will likely lose ground to 2009 in the yearly box office race. more ...
these two versions of what the film means could hardly be more at odds. yet scorsese hasn' t chosen to indicate which is the right one. nor has dicaprio. perhaps the latter isn' t sure himself. he found his role traumatising, and told an interviewer :
i remember saying to marty,' i have no idea where i am or what i' m doing.'

the film' s been described as faithful to the book, and many cinemagoers seem to have assumed that it' s telling the same story. leonardo dicaprio' s teddy does indeed turn out to be andrew. however, before he falls into the clutches of the lobotomists, he utters a line that isn' t in the book .

generating pre - release controversy between star - exec producer jennifer aniston and fox news’ bill o’reilly, artificial - insemination comedy “the switch ” turns out to have bigger problems than tv newsies. an unfunny, manipulative romance about two unlikable people and their prop of a son, the pic mangles the premise of its source material (“baster, ” a 1996 short story by pulitzer - winning novelist jeffrey eugenides) in ways that ought to baffle viewers of all sociopolitical stripes. thanks in part to the free publicity provided by o’reilly, the miramax release should do respectable business upon its aug. 20 release .
there are winsome touches in the switch, like the way that sebastian collects brand - new picture frames, so he can pretend that the models in the sample photos are his family members. and there’s some nice clowning from jeff goldblum, who delivers spaced - out nuggets of wisdom as wally’s faithful colleague. the romantic - triangle plot, however, is standard issue: wilson, looking more than ever like paul newman, does his jerk - lite variations, and bateman winds his way toward the big moment when he declares his feelings to aniston. fortunately, he’s not standing in the rain or running after her at an airport. so you can enjoy what happens without feeling too guilty about it in the morning. b

while a few lines of dialogue are taken verbatim from the eugenides story (though wally’s opening voiceover, in which he muses, “look at us, always rushed, always late; i guess that’s why they call it the human race” is most assuredly not), the source material provides only the first 15 minutes or so of screentime. the rest of the script (by allan loeb) has been invented wholesale. while eugenides’ story portrays wally’s switch as a twisted, almost rape - like violation, helmers josh gordon and will speck attempt to play it off as a charmingly bumbling folly (and to further excuse it by making wally drunk at the time), imparting a sour feeling to all that follows .

nothing happens
is hardly a motto for movies today. but at the end of the second world war, when cinemas were packed, desire on the screen was fabulously (and sometimes hysterically) inflamed by self - denial, shyness and censorship. it' s an open question, of course, but consider the possibility that movie romance, and its dream of desire, were stimulated by the various controls that blocked abandon. those devices include our innocence. in 1945, there wasn' t a hint of irony or parody in the film' s pounding rachmaninov score (the second piano concerto, played to the hilt by eileen joyce) .
those predicting elsevier’s downfall had assumed scientists experimenting with sharing their work for free online could slowly outcompete elsevier’s titles by replacing them one at a time. in response, elsevier created a switch that fused maxwell’s thousands of tiny monopolies into one so large that, like a basic resource – say water, or power – it was impossible for universities to do without. pay, and the scientific lights stayed on, but refuse, and up to a quarter of the scientific literature would go dark at any one institution. it concentrated immense power in the hands of the largest publishers, and elsevier’s profits began another steep rise that would lead them into the billions by the 2010s. in 2015, a financial times article anointed elsevier “the business the internet could not kill” .

today, the set - up begs for satire. but brief encounter has survived such threats, because it is so well made, because laura' s voiceover narration is truly anguished and dreamy, because the music suckers all of us, and because celia johnson and trevor howard are perfect. i realise ,
perfect
seems dangerously prim and old - hat, an ultimate proof of hopeless gentility. but that' s not fair. howard could be a wild man – as we know from his later work – and you feel recklessness and revolution as a wind tugging at him. as for celia johnson, it is due largely to her that the film is still so moving. her agony and her rapture stay interior, and they flip - flop like nerves in this beautiful, grave black - and - white movie. her voice is measured but the eyes are desperate. that she holds the film together is beyond doubt .

luckily, because i was otherwise so healthy and young, i had a lot of fight and responded well to chemo. i had a few chemo treatments and the main tumor responded, shrinking, leaving a hollow cystic shell, but then chemo stopped working. i wanted to take it to the fullest extent, but it was decided i’d switch to an oral treatment, which saved my life by binding with the receptor of my certain type of cancer cell to block it from multiplying. if i had this disease 10 years ago, i would not have had this option and might not be alive today .

cut to seven years later, when kassie is living in minnesota with her 6 - year - old son, sebastian (thomas robinson), who unbeknownst to everyone is really wally’s son. even wally doesn’t know it; he has no memory of that fateful night, or of the switch that he drunkenly, passive - aggressively instigated. when kassie and sebastian move back to new york, though, and wally begins to hang out with them, he and the kid hit it off. they may be barely conscious of it, but both father and son are neurotic, slightly gloomy, and winningly smart in exactly the same ways.
