As soon as the unfortunate Conan was in Château-Gontier he was “seized in the heart and suddenly died” in horrible convulsions, “just like his father had died”.
-C. Barbier, Les Ducs de Bretagne

EPISODE 007: Sundance '92 Selection Ranked
American documentary filmmaking emerged as earlier as film equipment became widely available and affordable. Many young filmmakers sought a collective resurgence in a new era of American cinema, now broadly accessible -- this time it helmed at the heart and gut of independent filmmaking. The quintessential roots of American independent cinema can be found in the films selected for the Sundance Film Festival of 1992, which is available on the Criterion Collection Channel. In this episode on LA CINEASTE, we will sort through and essentially rank the 25 captivating films in the 1992 Sundance Selection. Though many auteurs exceeded with accolades and impressed the new age, others found challenges along the way.

It’s a pointless (pre)sequel. They’ll probably keep making more because the allure of the minions is just too great and too easy a cashcow to let up.

Quartet mit Maggie Smith (nicht zu verwechseln mit Quartet mit Maggie Smith hier), Alan Bates und Isabelle Adjani ist eine für ihre Eleganz, ihr funkelndes Paris in den 20er-Jahren und ihre Werktreue gepriesene, aber nicht so richtig interessante Ivory-Merchant-Romanverfilmung. Alan verfällt immer den neurasthenischen Mädchen, die zu ihm kommen, und denen er Hilfe aufdrängt. Das letzte Mal ist es nicht gut ausgegangen. Gattin Maggie sorgt sich bloß darum, daß die Öffentlichkeit nichts mitbekommt.

Minions: The Rise of Gru
Minions: The Rise of Gru [trailer]
The untold story of one twelve-year-old's dream to become the world's greatest supervillain.
Sometimes I need to just watch something silly, and the Minions certainly fit the bill. I can't say how often I watched the TV spot linked above to put me in a good mood.
The opening credits paying homage to James Bond movies just put a smile on my face.
After about an hour it turns into unncessary action overkill. But until then it's just enjoyable, silly fun.
