Moving Image Institute: The Deal

"Over our five days at the Institute, we kept returning to serious of binary oppositions: print versus online; doing it for the passion versus doing it for the pay; criticism as consumer reporting versus advocacy for artists. With such circular questions, it’s hard to get anywhere, making it easy to lapse into what filmmaker Kelly Reichardt jokingly referred to at one point as “glass half full of shit” thinking. But out of the morass of questions and unresolvable clashes came an emphasis on compromise and balance: nearly every guest speaker made some mention of making trade offs, of covering for noble failures with less-noble successes. This seemed most prevalent on Saturday, with Reichardt and Tom Kalin’s independent filmmaker panel; Ryan Werner of IFC and Don Krim from KINO representing indie distribution; and, particularly, the online film criticism panel, featuring Eugene Hernandez (indieWIRE), Michael Koresky (Reverse Shot), Matt Zoller Seitz ([More]

"What would you do with the ability to see two minutes into the future? This interesting question is the premise of the movie Next starring Nicolas Cage.For most of his life Chris Johnson (Cage) was hiding in play sight with a small magic act in Las Vegas. He used his gift to survive and earn some money on the gambling table. But then suddenly 8 million people are in danger and the FBI is after him to use his unique ability...The movie is great entertainment and there are many amusing scenes, especially in the first half. In the second part the plot begins to tighten and suspense kicks in. There are some extremely cool pursuits both with cars and on foot. Even if the end disappoints a bit, I'm quite sure that Philip K. Dick's story (on which the movie is based) finished a couple of minutes earlier, it was time well spent :) " [More]

"I'm a fan of Philip K. Dick, science fiction and also Nicholas Cage. Of course I liked the movie. Besides it was a good one!Compared to others, for example Deja Vu, this was more fun, more real, more plausible, more thrilling and more enjoyable. There was some things that disturbed a bit: magic tricks and why didn't he do those when in need, those looks at camera etc. Minor issues, but could have been clearer before filming. Nevertheless a movie worth watching a second time. " [More]

"This movie had a great premise and for the most part did a good job of playing with that premise. However, the dialog in this movie was TERRIBLE. No, wait it was beyond terrible. How did Julianne Moore let herself get cast for this movie? She can’t need the money, and she had the worst lines by far. I think the screenwriter wanted someone like Pam Anderson then something crazy happened and Julianne Moore took the role. I’ve read other reviews praising the ending but to me it seemed lazy. It’s almost like they had a bunch of good ideas then suddenly ran out and had to end the movie. The action sequences were pretty good and I like Nick Cage but I cannot recommend this movie. " [More]

"i see movies purely for the entertainment value - and if i see a boom or a little mistake here and there (actually i dont always see them) it's not a big deal if i enjoyed the movie - Next was a spur of the moment choice and though i enjoyed the story well enough, it was difficult to overlook the fact that some of the acting seemed kind of stilted - to the point that it felt like julianne moore was having a time of it keeping the scene together. cage did well enough, as did jessica biel... no spoilers but it seemed like the script wasn't quite ready for screen.
