I find that I see study possibilities everywhere, and I have to constantly remind myself of the difference between strewing and pressuring! LOL...This sounds like a movie and novella that would interest me, even if I couldn't quite turn it over to the kids yet....
I actually saw the movie with Jeff at the dollar theater, and it was rather interesting. I hadn't realized it was based off a teen novel.
I've got a few friends that believe in watching the movie first and then reading the book because movies so often butcher books. I can see the argument, but I don't quite agree with it.
Of course I do make a few exceptions for Disney movies.
To be clear, I don't hate Disney. In fact I love a good number of the company's films, am fascinated by the history of its theme parks, and own books about the company's founder, Walt Disney. But I'm also a father of two who's visited Disney World on days when I was in a foul mood but had to suck it up and pretend to have a great time. That beleaguered side of me reacted to "Escape from Tomorrow" with cathartic glee. This low-budget black-and-white comedy about a husband and father going mad at Disney World is clearly the work of a filmmaker wrestling with demons. It was shot on location in Disney World without permits. Judging from what's onscreen, that was the only way it could have been done: if Disney had known what the cast and crew were up to, they'd never have allowed them anywhere near the parks. "Escape from Tomorrow" is an act of cultural vandalism, the feature film equivalent of drawing genitals on cute storybook animals.
Roy Abramsohn stars as Jim, the beleaguered husband of Emily (Elena Schuber) and father to two small children, Sara (Katelynn Rodriguez) and Eliot (Jack Dalton). He already seems distracted or dissatisfied when we meet him, but the sudden news that he's been fired from his job pushes him over the brink. Something inside of him snaps. He behaves with impatience and then bitter anger toward his wife and kids, develops a pathetic sexual obsession with two beautiful teenage girls (Annet Mahendru and Danielle Safady), and hallucinates sinister visions on harmless rides. The latter include a visit to Disney's "It's a Small World After All" that transforms the chirpy, one-world puppet show into a psychedelic nightmare. As Jim, Abramsohn has a bit of the beaten-down schlub quality that Matthew Broderick brought to the hero in "Election." He doesn't sugarcoat the character's unlikable qualities; he puts the desperation front-and-center, and makes sure that Roy owns all of his thoughts, including the sleazy and revolting ones.
The movie's wild and disturbing climax redeems some of the movie's missteps. It unleashes the moviemaker's id by way of Jim's flipped-out imagination, and suggests he's right to think that the Mouse has a sinister agenda. There's a sense of missed opportunity at the end: "Escape from Tomorrow" could have been a sneaky masterpiece, and it isn't. But it's still a vital and significant American feature; all movies should be this "disappointing." With its sneaky production history and low-tech special effects (including green-screened backgrounds a couple steps up from a karaoke video), "Escape from Tomorrow" is guerrilla art. It lashes out against the placid, sexless, clean-scrubbed version of happiness peddled by Disney, not because it thinks sanitized diversions have no place in American life, but because the Disney vision is as blandly oppressive as Nurse Ratched in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."
"Escape from Tomorrow" screened at Sundance and EbertFest earlier this year. It got good critical notices and a lot of sight-unseen support, mostly from filmmakers who resented the way that media corporations squash art that tries to comment on their world view, their characters or their corporate history. Some assumed the movie would never get a proper theatrical release.

This brief was written by Summer Intern Michael Harris. A romance action film including insane stunts and a silly sense of humor. The movie gives off Fast and Furious vibes, in a good way. It is a genre mashup: drama, romance, comedy, action. The romance between Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt hits the mark. The action stunts are really well done. The plot is not the best, but entertains nonetheless and kept me hooked. Not bad at all
Another Angel Studio uplifting, based on a true story, movie. A Chinese immigrant doctor works to restore the sight of a young parentless child. These movies are very popular and well regarded by all who attend.
During the Covid quarantines, streaming became a way of passing the time. One of my time consuming choices was watching all the Planet of the Apes movies. The original Planet of the Apes film starring Charlton Heston is classic. I saw it when it came out in the Sixties. We all walked out of the theater in a state of awe. Movies were wonderful back then. They did not require two hours and twenty five minutes to tell their stories. But I will endure the extended time watching this one because I have been looking forward to this latest installment for years. I guarantee it will be good, though likely too long.
There seems to be very little downside to low budget horror films. Blood everywhere. Screaming young girls cowering as disgusting fatalities are about to take place. And I know this just from the awful previews. I did like Late Night With the Devil. Very original. And Sting which no one went to see and disappeared after one week about an alien spider in a tenement apartment building. I did like that one while covering my eyes several times.
Amazingly the young grandkids go for these Legendary Pictures Monsterverse battles of the titans. There is even an Apple TV series first season called Monarch that intelligently brings these same monsters to streaming TV. But I continue to recommend the recent Japanese Academy Award winner for Best Visual Effects with a genuine backstory that equals the battles between post war Japan and the great Godzilla.
Directed and starring Michael Keaton in a small time action picture, this movie is right up my alley. Al Pacino, Marsha Gay Harden, and their ilk capture their small roled quite efficiently, and this little film is definitely a must see for those who like old-fashioned hired killer movies.
Yes. I am taking the grandkids. The previews remind me of Kung Fu Pandas 1, 2, and 3. I guess that will be good enough for them as long as I break out the big bucks for concessions. If you happen to catch Jack Black promoting his voice role, I warn you his scrubby bearded face and growing belly are a surprise.
Wrong! This is a terrific, subtitled flick; a great movie with incredible sound design and award worthy effects, with excellent screenwriting, and an unbelievable final battle that dissolves into an unexpected denouement. The premium XD theater presentation for this one is worth every extra penny.
There's a fair amount of confusion there, because Tom ostensibly started with the role and so there is an impression that was made by Tom and then I came in and it was discovered that I was actually the guy beneath the skin of Dr. Wells. It's not a different guy. It's the same guy and he's the same guy on Legends as he is on The Flash. In fact, a lot of what happens to him on The Flash is what's fueling his actions on Legends. The two storylines do have a connection. That's fascinating to me. I've never been in a position before as an actor where you get to play the same character on two separate shows, let alone have the shows actually have some relation to each other. A lot of work for the writers, but a lot of fun as an actor to play.
Absolutely. And it's only going to get more intricate this season. These crossovers are a complicated dance. I know during the major crossover episodes they're breaking new ground in terms of production scheduling. When you're trying to coordinate four separate shows together, it's pretty Herculean. It'll be interesting to see how it works out.
The flip side of this obsession, now at this point, is the reality that Barry Allen started off as a man that he idolized and loved. I think of any kid with his greatest sports hero or whoever; it's somebody that was in some ways the love of his life. There is deep seated love there for Barry Allen that's been buried over by strata after strata of pain and self-loathing and all sorts of other complicated things. I think in the performance it comes out that there is this base of, "God I love you. I wish I could be you. I would give anything to be you". It's fun to be able to look at our arc, the Eobard/Barry arc together from both sides of that coin.
You especially want to strive for that nuance on a show like The Flash, which is different from Legends in the sense that it's really, at its heart, a smaller show. It's a more intimate show in a way. You don't want to completely override that part of the world. You want to be a part of that. I do try and look for the surprises. I look for the stuff that Eobard saw and is not expecting to have happen. That's when you tend to see, especially in this kind of setting, a villain's real vulnerability. They have this superego, this idea of how everything is supposed to go and when they're thwarted, then you start to see who they really are and what's really driving them. I look for those moments in particular. Outside of that, I just follow the cues from the cast, because they're all such fine actors and the vibe they have going now is so finely tuned that if you just hop in and let them take the lead, they'll take good care of you.
