Monkeybone (2001)

There are two immediately obvious reasons why the special effects horror comedy Monkeybone is worth revisiting in 2022: its director and its star.  Henry Selick’s upcoming Wendell and Wild is his first feature film since 2009’s cult favorite Coraline, and it appears to be perfectly in rhythm with the stop-motion nightmares for kids that have defined his career.  Not only is Monkeybone Selick’s…

I watched The Batman yesterday, aka Battinson, and that sure was a lot of movie. About 45 minutes too much movie, imo, though I thought it did some interesting things. I found this Bat more recognizable than Bale's, and I thought the movie had several excellent scenes in it, even if they were mostly exposition dumps - they were fraught exposition dumps and always felt like they might explode into violence. He and Zoe Kravitz had nice Bat/Cat chemistry, I liked Andy Serkis as a very under-utilized Alfred, and Jeffrey Wright was good as Jim Gordon. John Tuturro was really good as Carmine Falcone. Bruce Wayne was...pretty much nonexistent, which is unfortunate (for his kids anyway ;), but at least it wasn't another origin story. It also had some really excellent scene composition on the rare occasion when I could actually see what was happening - I didn't think the car chase was that great but I loved the aftermath, with Batman ominously approaching, backlit by FIRE and the score doing a thing that probably wasn't supposed to remind me of the Imperial March but absolutely did (AtLA did a similar thing with French horns, I think? for the Fire Nation?). Also, Gotham looked much more recognizable as a place people live even though it's a shithole than it ever did in the Nolan movies.

[jewishraypalmer]

Boy I have 2 episodes left of Severance but if you had told me that the greatest fictional love story of 2022 was going to be John Tuturro and Christopher Walken I would have spit in your face

[three--rings]

So I’m in the middle of watching Severance.  I started it on the plane cause they had the first 3 eps and I’ve been meaning to watch it and then I got here and my brother was like oh, I’ve got Apple TV.

And I never expected to be shipping Christopher Walken and John Tuturro (’s characters) but here I am...

“Exodus: Gods and Kings” (2015), an atheist and intractable Moses

The best scenes of “Exodus: Gods and Kings” are those in which John Tuturro acts as the Pharaoh of Egypt and Ben Kingsley as the Jew who must convince, no longer Schlinder, but Moses-Batman.

Ridley Scott is, like Martin Scorsese and like many other directors of lesser fame, a great exponent of the worn-out cinema of image-movement that the thinker Gilles Deleuze unmasked and refuted in his film studies in the 1980s. In all his films, from “Alien” (1980) to this renewed adaptation of Exodus, there is a human being who, due to circumstances beyond their control, has to take up arms and…

Theater Review Sabbaths Theatre.



 "Sabbath's Theater" at the Romulus Linney Theater is a stream of consciousness play, John Turturro gives a masterclass for one hour and forty minutes. Without an intermission it is he who locks in the audience. The play which is written by Philip Roth is as raw, edgy as anything Kafka would write. The people who came to watch were artistic, even Bohemian. "Sabbath's Theater is a throw back to the days of La MAMA, Truck and Warehouse Theater. Directed by Jo Bonney, nothing is left to the imagination... it is sex and sex and sex.

 After thirteen years with his Yugoslavian mistress, Drenka, (Elizabeth Marvel), Mickey Sabbath (Turturro) spirals out of control after her death. He is now haunted by the ghosts of his past and present. His mother encourages him to commit suicide rather than continue living such a shameful and depraved life. Returning to the people and places he once knew, Sabbath returns to New York City to attend a funeral for his old producer and friend, Linc. In search of his ex-wife Nikki, he meets up with another old friend and producer of his Sabbath's Theater, Norman (Jason Kravits).

 Mickey who was once regarded as a great puppeteer has become unrecognizable; steep in his lifelong debauchery, he was fired from the school where he taught for having an affair with a student. His second wife, Rosanna has thrown him out and is now living with a woman. She is a recovering alcoholic and thinks Mickey can only hurt her.

  With a small stage, Arnulfo Maldonado does a brilliant job with his scenic design (costumes as well). The projection design opens up the stage and makes it bigger than it is (Alex Basco Koch); the lighting is equally brilliant by Jeff Croiter; his cool whites and blues gives off the feeling of despair, he brings the raw, edgy feel to this well acted play.Mikaal Sulaiman too brings an eery feel with his sound design. In the adaptation by Ariel Levy and John Tuturro, however, we sometimes get confused where physically Sabbath is. It wasn't always clear if he was in Massachusetts, New York City, or even at which stage of his life he is in.

 "Sabbath's Theater" with its edgy and other worldly feel is deep, resonant and welcomed. In the 80's and 90's more off off Broadway houses produced works like this.In today's productions we are not getting enough plays like this; even La Mama and the Public have shied away from these types of works and it is unfortunate.

Zoe Kravitz on Becoming Catwoman For “The Batman”

Zoe Kravitz joins a prestigious list of feline femme fatales in Matt Reeves’s The Batman, which is no small feat. Lenny Kravitz’s daughter is no stranger to superhero films after having starred as Angel in X-Men: First Class. However, the role of Selina Kyle had two points of stress: physical conditioning, and the pre-vaccine days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Zoe Kravitz As Catwoman – Preparation…
