Chocolat (2000)

While visiting with friends, the idea of watching a movie was brought up. Our host picked Chocolat because she thought it would please everyone attending regardless of our affinities and prejudices. She later admitted it's her favorite movie. No matter what mood she's in, it brings a smile to her face. Johnny Depp's presence helps - I'm told his face is worth a lot. I wouldn't put Depp as a key selling point since he's not in it that much but the rest of her reasoning is bang on. It's an erotic fable (without being too raunchy) that's just like its namesake: warm and satisfying. It’s a delight.

Vianne (Juliette Binoche) and her daughter Anouk (Victoire Thivisol) move into a quiet French village to set up a chocolaterie. Despite the town’s obsession with tradition and piety (much to the satisfaction of the mayor, played by Alfred Molina), Vianne’s chocolates slowly begin charming the residents.

Chocolat might as well be set in the same town that banned Kevin Bacon from dancing, except set in France and in 1959. Spend enough time there, however, and you'll see things aren't so simple. Mayor Comte de Reynaud initially seems to be a one-dimensional bad guy. He’s manipulative and obsessed with order. He even oversees the pastor’s sermon on Sunday - making countless alterations to it - before it can be read. He’s the main antagonist and you hate him until you realize he’s a real human being. Everyone here is. Even Vianne is a person with her own set of strengths and weaknesses. It isn't long before you recognize something of yourself in every one of them.

The film is about a woman who doesn’t fit in. In every way possible she’s the odd person out in this small town. What it's really about is an artist who decides to take on the stuffy establishment. A chocolaterie is a perfect analogy for her rebellion. Like a beautiful painting or a song, it seems to have no nutritional value. In fact, totalitarian autocrats will argue that it’s bad for you and easily conjure charts that demonstrate how a diet composed entirely of chocolate will kill you. They’d be right but wrong as well. The absence of what chocolate represents is just as detrimental to your health. It may not add years to your life, but it adds life to your years.

The performances are uniformly excellent. I was going to enumerate those who stand out until I realized I’d be naming everyone. Let’s just say that from the youngest child actress (Victoire Thivisol) to the veterans (Judy Dench) everyone shines. It’s got the right mix of laughs, romance, and the kind of drama that gets you all riled up. It’s light and frothy, but at being a sweet treat of a film it’s so good you can’t hold its humble ambitions against it.

Chocolat sucks you into this world and makes you fall in love with its characters. For all those reasons and more, it's a great pick for date night. (On DVD, March 20, 2016)

Silent Hill: Revelation (2012)

It's ok if you enjoy 2006's Silent Hill, but don’t tell me it’s a good movie. The plot makes no sense, the acting is lousy, and it’s obvious the main objective was to crowbar as many monsters and references to the game into a 2-hour running time... but it's a masterpiece compared to Silent Hill: Revelation.

Set 9 years (ish) after the first film, Sharon Da Silva (Adelaide Clemens) and her adoptive father Christopher (Sean Bean) are on the run from a cult obsessed with the town of Silent Hill. When her father is kidnapped by the Order of Valtiel (led by Carrie-Anne Moss as Claudia Wolf), Sharon and her new best friend, Vincent (Kit Harington), head for the creepy town to save him.

This film’s got nothing going on. That brief synopsis tells you everything you need to know about this story, save the ending. It’s as razor-thin as the knives held by those creepy, faceless nurses. Revelation has all of the problems of the first picture on top of its own bucket of issues. The twists in this story are so easy to predict, so obvious you’ll feel like a genius, proudly exclaiming out loud “that’s a bad guy!”, “that guy’s not as creepy as he looks!” and so on the instant someone walks on-screen. You'll only be surprised by how unconvincing the line deliveries are, and how nutty the plot gets.

The picture begins on the wrong foot by attempting to be an actual sequel. While Silent Hill foreshadowed a part 2 with a would-be spooky ending, this picture has to jump through so many hoops to make it work it’s ridiculous. Apparently, the same town that housed Christabella and all of her followers also hosts another new cult whose objectives and beliefs are completely different from the other one - and they all escaped Alessa's wrath to go into the real world. Why didn’t anyone mention that Christabella and Deborah had another sister and a father stuck in an insane asylum? How did we miss the creepy carnival and mannequin factory? Why is Pyramid Head suddenly protecting people instead of killing them?

In a good movie, characters’ actions follow a logical sequence. The consequences of those actions generate new situations for them to react to. There are hardly any characters in Silent Hill: Revelation; only excuses to have a body count. This film is not clever enough to have real scares or atmosphere. Out of desperation, writer/director Michael J. Bassett throws a bunch of gory deaths at the screen… too bad none are impressive. Not helping are the monsters in this follow-up, which are lame.

Silent Hill: Revelation is everything a bad horror movie can be and everything a bad video game-based movie can be at once. A deluge of references crammed throughout might distract the fans from the unholy performances and wretched story but only if all they want is to play "Silent Hill Bingo". As a horror movie, it fails to generate even a single scare or moment of tension. The characters are so stupid you feel like you’re watching someone move through a world where the biggest consequence is a “Game Over” screen. The only improvement over the 2006 film is the running time: about a half-hour shorter. When the end credits begin rolling, you’ll be screaming out loud “Was that it?!” Technically, it isn’t. Stick around for the very end of the credits.

Silent Hill: Revelation is the kind of film you want to look away from. Not because of the horrific sights - actually, the visuals are quite good - not because it reminds you of anything chilling, but because it generates such second-hand embarrassment for actors Carrie-Anne Moss, Sean Bean, and Malcolm McDowell that watching them becomes unbearable. (2D version on Blu-ray, October 21, 2016)

Audiences have a hard time embracing conclusions, always calling for more. You might have moved on as a creative, with new projects on the horizon, yet still, audiences want more stories, or at least a supposed better conclusion. In 2021, after some personal tragedy and a hefty dose of soul-searching, Lana Wachowski returned for one last outing of the Chosen One, in The Matrix…
