Giant cavemen stalk the meek through a rear projection landscape. Driverless automobiles smash a predecessor into a chrome mouth piece. Such is the wordless world of Matthew Barney's CREMASTER series. The five-part epic culminates, oddly enough, in CREMASTER 3, one of a myriad of peculiarities in the avant-garde series that moved from the museum circuit to packed art houses.
Intrigue leads to mayhem for taskmasters toiling in a highly stylized Chrysler building. At the forefront is a blue collar man (sculptor Richard Serra) whose work in the immaculate building is rewarded with a horse muzzling, knocking his teeth out. A bizarre operation is performed, replacing his jaw with a chrome implant. While this proletariat's innards seep out, a wayward savage (Barney) appears. Upon proving his worth, he also is bestowed chrome, a medal. A violent conclusion hammers home the idea of man's fruitless search during a chaotic Guggenheim hootenanny complete with a kick line, a nude cheetah lady (double amputee Aimee Mullins), and a war between punk bands Agnostic Front and Murphy's Law. This narrative of Barney's three-hour series finale is less important than juxtaposition and iconography in a film obsessed with medallions, triangular blocks, and the pentagonal Chrysler logo.

High school romance is difficult enough to navigate when both people are human. But for 17-year-old Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart, INTO THE WILD) and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson, HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE), Edward's life as a vampire complicates things even more. At first, when Bella moves from sunny Phoenix to the rainiest corner of Washington State, she isn't sure where she fits in at her new high school. Then she meets Edward, an ethereal beauty of a boy whose unnatural speed and strength lead Bella to the ...

Cremaster 3 review
THE BALLAD OF LUCY WHIPPLE is an entertaining, star-studded CBS adaptation of the best-selling children's novel by Karen Cushman. Set during the height of the 1880s Gold Rush, this colorful depiction of one family's move to the West, fraught with hardship and colorful adventures, stars Glenn Close as Arvella Whipple, a widowed mother who decides to move her family from Massachusetts to the dusty depots of California. Jena Malone stars as Arvella's oldest daughter, California Morning Whipple, an intellectual 12-year-old who detests the idea of moving to California so much that she changes her name from California to Lucy, a prim and proper New England name. The Whipples make their home in Lucky Diggins, a rough and rowdy mining town full of characters seeking to make their fortune. Arvella and her family run the local boarding tent, where they cross paths with a bawdy woman of the night (Chloe Webb), a cowboy poet (Meat Loaf Aday), and a sensitive missionary (Bruce ...

The dramatic retelling of the life, improbable rise, and violent fall of rapper Christopher Wallace (aka the Notorious B.I.G.), NOTORIOUS plays like A STAR IS BORN set to a rattling gangsta snare. With crisp direction by George Tillman Jr., producer of the BARBERSHOP series, the film is briskly paced and strikes a worthy balance between sensationalized celebrity biopic and behind-the-scenes drama. Angela Bassett anchors the latter with a nuanced performance as Voletta, Wallace’s long-suffering single mother who attempts to shelter him from the mean streets of Bed-Stuy.
With deep involvement by those who knew him best--the real Voletta Wallace and Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs (played dynamically by Derek Luke) co-produced--the film nonetheless unflinchingly portrays Biggie’s troubled history as a teenage crack dealer, his chronic infidelity and poor fathering skills, and his own role in stoking the ludicrous coastal rivalry that claimed both his and Tupac Shakur’s lives. As it presents Biggie's side of the murders in boldface, one wonders if a more independent eye would cast Shakur and his cohorts in the villain role so starkly. Documentary quibbles aside, NOTORIOUS delivers an impactful tribute to its subject's genius--revealing to fans and neophytes alike the microphone skills, narrative chops, and fresh vision that made Wallace one of hip-hop’s greatest all-time MCs. Largely, this is due to the ace performance by Jamal Woolard, an amateur rapper who packed on 50 pounds to play the hulking gangsta, and nails his mordant charisma and conflicted ...
| | Gonzo: The Life And Work Of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson DVD (2008)
Cremaster 3 video
$23.85
In GONZO: THE LIFE AND WORK OF DR. HUNTER S. THOMPSON, director Alex Gibney (TAXI TO THE DARK SIDE) creates a portrait of one of journalism's most controversial and talented superstars. Famous in the 1960s for his wild, self-coined "gonzo" style of reporting, Thompson's most famous adventures include riding with the Hell's Angels, chasing the American dream in Las Vegas, and covering the volatile George McGovern political campaign. The fact that Thompson did most of his reporting while throwing back large quantities of Wild Turkey and illegal drugs led to some of the most bizarre and imaginative journalism the writing world had ever seen.
Gibney pieces Thompson's life together using archival footage and recordings and interviews with those closest to him, including his former wives and son, and the artist Ralph Steadman. There are also appearances and commentary from the likes of Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner, as well as conservative heavyweight Pat Buchanan. Johnny Depp, who played Thompson in the film version of FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS, provides the voice of Thompson, reading excerpts ...
