Mixed Reviews for 'Green Zone'

Here's an update on "Green Zone," out today from Universal Studios. From the film's website : It is 2003, and U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller and his team of inspectors have been dispatched by their commanders to find weapons believed to be stockpiled in the Iraqi desert. Rocketing from one booby-trapped and treacherous site to the next, the men search for deadly chemical agents...

'Alice in Wonderland'

I took my boys to see "Alice in Wonderland" yesterday. Kenneth Turan's review is here . We liked it. It's the first major studio production I've seen in 3D, and it worked for me, although I had strong reminiscences of Captain EO from the 1980s. So, not sure how far the technology's actually advanced. Still, the format is perfectly a piece with Tim Burton's oeuvre. Perhaps the acting was flat,...

DVD: Review:Howards End

“Who speaks of Howards End these days'” asks Los Angeles Times critic Kenneth Turan in the liner notes for the film’s new Criterion edition. He’s right. Among the more critically vaunted films of the ’90s, the film stood out in a trifecta of successful literary adaptations ( A Room With A View and Remains Of The Day were the others) from writer Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, producer...

Dude...

If you're a fan of my homeboy Jeff Bridges , you'll want to read this . Bridges captured the transitional spirit of the '70s in films like John Huston's Fat City , the whimsical Rancho Deluxe and Hearts of the West , Stay Hungry and the conspiratorial Winter Kills , with John Huston playing Bridges' big business father in a cautionary tale about the danger of health care conglomerates made three decades...

On CBS's Sunday Morning, movie reviewer David Edelstein heaped praised upon The Ghost Writer , the latest film by director, and indicted child rapist, Roman Polanski: "Whatever you say about this man, a victim and a victimizer, he's an artist to the end. He can conjure up on screen his inner world. However, malignant." Edelstein began the review by proclaiming that Polanski's new film: "shows...

‘The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus’ Kenneth Turan Review

Source: Los Angeles Times By Kenneth Turan “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” is as unusual and idiosyncratic as its one-of-a-kind title. You’d expect no less from Terry Gilliam, and admirers of this singular filmmaker will be pleased to know that “Imaginarium” is one of his most original and accessible works. A member of the Monty Python troupe, Gilliam is nothing...

Shock and Awe

L.A. Times critic Kenneth Turan's comparison of James Cameron's Avatar to The Jazz Singer will have a profound impact on the Best Picture race, I suspect. Among those over-50 Academy members who listen to and occasionally follow his lead, I mean. The instant I read his review I began to think that if the ABTHL crowd (i.e., anything but The Hurt Locker) decides that they can't fully embrace Up In The...

When Joe Papp fired Kevin Spacey

Yesterday I picked up a copy of Free for All , by Kenneth Turan, an oral history of Joseph Papp and New York's Public Theater . I've just started thumbing through it but so far, it looks pretty interesting. I first heard Papp's name when I was a teenager. I remember watching a play from the New York Shakespeare Festival on TV and being enthralled by it. I'm fairly certain it was this production of...

You review: The Twilight Saga - New Moon

Do you agree with the Twihards that New Moon is the film of the year? Or is this supernatural romance strangely bloodless? Poor old Chris Weitz. Once considered a promising filmmaker, round about the time he successfully transformed Nick Hornby's pleasant and enjoyable novel About a Boy into an equally pleasant and enjoyable movie starring Hugh Grant and that kid from Skins, he now finds himself working...
