M. Night Shyamalan’s Major Sci-Fi Action Flop Deserves a Second Look on Streaming (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With his 2013 film After Earth, M. Night Shyamalan was a director working miles outside of his strengths. Shyamalan’s best work up to that point (and even after) tended to be small-scale and intimate, with light supernatural touches deepening and complicating the characters’ journeys, as well as thrilling camerawork that evoked the best of Alfred Hitchcock and Steven Spielberg. The more fantastical his movies got, the more his storytelling weaknesses and crutches became insurmountable, and no am
23 Years Later, Russell Crowe's War Epic Is Still One of the Best Ever Made (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While 2003’s Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World may not have won the same big awards as Russell Crowe’s 2000 vehicle Gladiator, it has since developed a reputation as one of the best period epic war movies of all time. Coming from Truman Show director Peter Weir and based on the historical novels of Patrick O’Brian, the movie follows a skirmish between ships of the French and British navies during the Napoleonic Wars (where “oceans are now battlefields”, as the movie’s iconic openin
23 Years Later, The Lord of the Rings' Final Line Still Defines the Fantasy Trilogy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy represents some of the finest blockbuster filmmaking of the 21st century. The director’s vision balanced the epic scale of J. R. R. Tolkien’s fantasy saga with a light, humanist touch (as well as plenty of the gross-out jump scares that Jackson mastered with early films like his Muppets parody Meet the Feebles). In the trilogy, the human element is closely tied with the story of the four hobbits who leave their home in the cozy, provincial Shire to face
Robert Downey Jr.'s Bonkers Crime Thriller Is Now Forgotten — But It Helped Saved His Career (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Though the second act of Robert Downey Jr.’s career truly took off with 2008’s Iron Man, the film that set the stage for that comeback actually arrived three years earlier, with Shane Black’s Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. The actor’s well-publicized legal troubles and issues with addiction made him a difficult figure in the entertainment industry, but somehow Black created the perfect star vehicle to begin to bring him back to Hollywood. In the vein of Black’s other screenplays, like Lethal Weapon or The
Forget 'Days of Thunder 2,' This Tom Cruise Classic Deserves a Legacy Sequel (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Given how much Tom Cruise has been embracing his '80s hits with sequels like Top Gun: Maverick and the recently announced Days of Thunder follow-up with Anne Hathaway, one defining movie from earlier in his career has yet to receive that honor: 1986’s pool hustler classic The Color of Money. Much like the original Top Gun and Days of Thunder, The Color of Money captured Cruise at his most rebellious, angsty and purely charismatic. Unlike the other two films, which were directed by Tony Scott, Co
