An argument for the ages, Malcolm & Marie throws the kitchen sink back and forth with little care as to what (or whom) the shattered ceramic pierces. Both explosive and silently tense, Levinson starts off strong only for the fireworks to sputter out. Rating: 3/5 Writer and director, Sam Levinson’s Malcolm & Marie opens like any argument: silent tension fills the room as one participant attempts to hide their emotions while the other has no clue in the slightest that there is anything to participate in. And, for the most part, the film plays out in real-time quite truthfully to what most romantic, world-shattering arguments go through which, unfortunately, creates a lot of explosive highs but very long and lonesome lows. ....
The film lecture we didn’t ask for: ‘Malcolm and Marie’ For obvious reasons, 2020 was a dry year in the cinema industry. Any movie released by the major streaming platforms became the focus of moviegoers. Sam Levinson’s new single-location Netflix movie, “Malcolm and Marie,” is no different. A movie that would not be discussed much in a pre-COVID-19 world is now creating heated debate among cinephiles. Most criticism towards the movie argues that Levinson is not entitled to be criticizing the film industry as he only worked in a few major projects previously. The movie tells the story of Malcolm (John David Washington), an African American director who has just made his debut, and his wife Marie (Zendaya), who is a former drug addict. As the couple comes back home from Malcolm’s premiere, they start to argue about their relationship, their lives and their perspectives on art. At this point, it is possible to expect a dialogue-driven movie that explores both t ....
Monster Hunter: Milla Jovovich and Tony Jaa - gatherers need not apply. What must breakfast be like at the home of married co-workers Milla Jovovich and Paul W. S. Anderson? “Remember back a decade ago, when I first entertained adapting Monster Hunter for the screen?” Paul asks. Milla eagerly replies, “The one about the Army Captain who cuts herself free from a Nerscylla pupa, uses gunpowder and flint to cauterize wounds earned from battling a great horned arachnidian, and finds her jaw on the receiving end of a sock from Ron Perlman’s right duke?” A pause and a smile are followed by, “Sounds like fun. When do we start?” ....
From Sam Levinson ( Another Happy Day, Assassination Nation) comes a cogent two-hander about Malcolm (John David Washington), a black filmmaker who if what the white critics said after the premier of his first feature is true stands on the cusp of greatness, and Marie (Zendaya), a girlfriend eager to play the part of muse, if only he would let her. The two are poised to spend the night in a secluded Malibu residence, waiting for the reviews to post in the morning edition. (What would Margo Channing do if confronted by a paywall?) In spite of the evening’s accolades, Malcolm seems incapable of taking “yes” for an answer. Isn’t it racist to compare him to Spike Lee or John Singleton and not William Wyler? And what’s with the festive meal Marie has in store? William Wyler never celebrated his triumphs over a bowl of mac and cheese, and if he did, it would have been Stouffer’s, not the stuff in the blue box. (The production company popped for the digs, not the dinn ....
Willamette Week The need for strong, independent local journalism is more urgent than ever. Please support the city we love by joining Friends of Willamette Week. Your Weekly Roundup of New Movies: “Minari” Is the Rare Immigrant Story to Seek Meaning Almost Entirely Beyond Immigration Itself What to see and skip while streaming. (A24) Director Lee Isaac Chung s breakout film ponders American dreams by way of a pasture. Ask the father of the Yi family Korean immigrants settling in rural 1980s Arkansas and his new farm plot is rich with promise: Jacob (Steven Yeun) has purchased a literal slice of America, all set for cultivation. Or will the pasture suck dry the family s labor, its savings, its cultural identity, its wellspring of love? By contrast, Jacob s wife, Monica (Han Ye-ri), misses Los Angeles where the Yi family had Korean neighbors; hell, any neighbors. Despite its miscategorization by the Golden Globes as a Foreign Language film, ....
