 Movie Review: The Last Station
Alternate Title: Practice What You Preach Story: Can I still give a film a rotten review even if I liked the subject matter? If you agree I can, then here is a rotten review of a film that could have been much better. It is 1911 Russia. The last year of superstar Leo Tolstoy’s life. His writings (War and Peace and Anna Karenina) are known the world over and he has accumulated fame and vast wealth. There is even a movement named after him called ‘Tolstoyian.’ We enter Tolstoy’s world as the leader of the Tolstoyian movement is feverishly working on Tolstoy to change his will to give the copyright on his work to ‘the people.’ Tolstoy’s wife, Sofya, is super pissed by the idea that her family would be disinherited. The good news is that the film is visually nice to watch and you do get a sense of being in 1911 Russia. The bad news is there are too many undeveloped characters and a story with no clear direction. The meandering is confusing and the film takes it for granted that the viewer is intimately aware of Tolstoy’s life and times. Not true. I even leaned over to my Wednesday movie buddy and asked him if he thought the film was true. It turns out, essentially it was based on true events. It was written and directed by Michael Hoffman and based on the book The Last Station by Jay Parini. It was contradictory to watch the Tolstoyian’s preach about ‘the people’ and the redistribution of wealth when these on-screen characters enjoyed such opulence. Fast forward a few years (not depicted on screen ) and we get the Russian Revolution. Anyone want to see ‘Reds?’
Acting: Helen Mirren does some serious scene chewing as the Countess Sofya Tolstoy. Christopher Plummer as Leo Tolstoy matches her scene for scene in the chewing department. Paul Giamatti as the wicked-ish Vladimir Chertkov was somewhat a caricature. Anne-Marie Duff as Sasha Tolstoy was undeveloped. Kerry Condon as free love activist, Masha was fine and James McAvoy as secretary, Valentin Bulgakov was adequate but nothing to write home about. Trivia: To read more about the life of Tolstoy check out this site. Director Michael Hoffman was a former Rhodes scholar. Paul Giammati’s father, A. Bartlett Giamatti, was a professor of Renaissance Literature at Yale University, and went on to become the university’s youngest president. (In 1986, Bart Giamatti was appointed president of baseball’s National League. He became Commissioner of Baseball on April 1, 1989 and served for five months until his untimely death on September 1, 1989. He was commissioner at the time Pete Rose was banned from the game.) Predilection: I like to see films that have Oscar nominations. This one has two (see category below). Critters: Horses, goats and chickens and mosquito’s. Food: Sumptuous tables with plenty of food. Sex Spectrum: Yes, young Valentin loses his virginity to the wild and wacky Masha. Soundtrack: Soaring and a bit much at times. Opening Titles: I cannot remember. However, during the end credits there are some vintage reels of the real Tostoy. Visual Art: It is a pretty film. Theater Audience: About 15 other Bolsheviks. Weather: Russia wa lovely in the summer. Sappy Factor: 0 Quirky Meter: 0 Squirm Scale: 0 Drift Factor: I drifted a lot. Predictability Level: High Tissue Usage: 0 Oscar Worthy: Helen Mirren is nominated for Best Actress and Christopher Plummer is nominated for Best Supporting Actor. Neither is deserved and I like both of these actors. Big Screen or Rental: Rental is fine. I would see Reds before I see this one again. Length: Under two hours. LOBO HOWLS: 6

| Movie Review: The Blind Side
Alternate Title: Precious Lite Story: I feel so used. This popular family release film of the year manipulated us, tore at our guts and had so many uplifting moments I could barely think straight. So what’s wrong with that, you say? Can’t we just laugh, cry and feel good? Yes we can. However, the obvious lack of nuance, the serial vignettes of one turning point after another gave me heartburn. It was simply too saccharine for me. I needed some areas of gray. I needed some characters that had more than one dimension. I needed some surprises. The film was directed and written by John Lee Hancock and was based on the book, The Blind Side, by Michael Lewis. We all know the story by now, even if you did not see the film. Now famous NFL Ravens player, Michael Oher, was once out on the streets, out of luck and abandoned as a teenager, He was found, taken in and saved by the Touhy family of Memphis. More to the point, Leigh Anne Touhy. Mother Touhy knows what’s right for everyone – all of the time. She is portrayed as one feisty lady who gets her way all of the time. Other than the obvious problems that go along with a rich, white, southern family taking a huge young black man into their homes – we get no real complications. How can that be? How can all of the inherent difficulties that lie within this scenario be glossed over and fixed by as little as a one liner or a knowing glance. Leigh Anne Touhy manages to give heartfelt comeuppances to her doubting friends, gives advice to the coaches and essentially tells everyone around her how to live their lives. I, while finding difficulty disliking the character, at times, wanted to shoot her. That said – I am sure this film will be enjoyed by people for a long time. It has all of the elements for guaranteed fun, with as little real depth as possible. I wish that even half of the people who saw The Blind Side would go to see Precious. I said to my sister as we were leaving the theater that if this were not a true story I would not believe it in a million years.
Watch the real Michael Oher:
Acting: Sandra Bullock as Leigh Anne Tuohy has already won a Golden Globe and a SAG award for this performance. Will she win an Oscar? I do not think she deserves it but she will probably get it. Tim McGraw as Sean Tuohy was blander than bland. Quinton Aaron as Michael Oher did not move me at all. Kathy Bates as Miss Sue was the one ray of true light. Lily Collins as Collins Tuohy was the only teenage girl on the planet with no raging hormones. Jae Head as S J Tuohy got me annoyed after a few scenes. Trivia: Director John Lee Hancock is the son of John Lee Hancock Sr., who won Baylor University letters in football in 1950 and 1951. Hancock’s brother Kevin also lettered four years as a 1981-1984 linebacker for the Bears. Predilection: I like to see films that have garnered awards (deserved or not). Critters: Surprisingly none. Food: Lots of food including a huge Thanksgiving meal. Sex Spectrum: None Blatant Product Placement: Taco Bell, Taco Bell and Taco Bell. Soundtrack: Overly cloying Opening Titles: An introduction of NFL footage of Lawrence Taylor sacking Joe Theismann and I then learned about the blind side as a sports term. Visual Art: Everything on the right side of town was clean and pretty. Theater Audience: This audience was filled with perhaps the last 20 people in Manhattan to see this film. Sappy Factor: 3 Quirky Meter: 0 Drift Factor: I drifted quite a bit. Predictability Level: Over the top Tissue Usage: 0 Oscar Worthy: No – but I will be wrong about this. Big Screen or Rental: Either will do. Length: Two hours. LOBO HOWLS: 6

Movie Review: In Search of Memory February 1, 2010

| Movie Review: In Search of Memory
Alternate Title: Total Recall Story: Dr. Eric Kandel won the Nobel Prize in 2000 for his work in the physiology of the brain. How the brain works. How we learn. How we remember. I will do my best to remember what this film was all about so I can recommend it to you. And I do. German film maker Petra Seeger’s documentary about this most engaging 80 year old is memorable. Really. The film presents Dr Kandel’s lifework in a very user friendly manner. We meet Kandel’s family, his co-workers and get to watch him during some of his presentations to various venues including schools, colleagues and synagogues. Kandel is charming, funny, full of life – a man anyone would want to meet. The film explores Kandel’s memory of his childhood in Vienna before his family had to leave in 1939 because of the war and his childhood in Brooklyn after they came to the US (he went to Erasmus for all of the Brooklynites reading this). Kandel admits that studying the brain and memory will no doubt bring some psychoanalysis into the picture – and that’s okay too. Thankfully we get to spend more time with the scientist than the science. Kandel maintains that our memory is the base function needed for all knowledge. Memory is the glue that holds everything together and enables us to reason, communicate and problem solve. Apparently, as a young neuroscientist says ‘he is the rock star of neuroscience’ and this film clearly shows us why.
Charlie Rose chats with Eric Kandel:
Acting: This is a documentary. This category does not apply. Trivia: For all you ever wanted to know about the Nobel Prize and its winners check out this site. Predilection: I like documentaries Critters: Lab mice and snails. Food: Lots of yummy looking pastries on their trip to Vienna and some Passover food at their Seder table. Sex Spectrum: No sex – just science. Soundtrack: I can’t remember. Opening Titles: The film jumps right into Kandel’s explanation of where memory is located in the brain. All credits, other than the title are at the end. Visual Art: We ge tot see some fine art in Vienna and the personal collection of the Kandels which is mostly German/Austrian expressionist. Theater Audience: Surprisingly packed for a Sunday morning. Squirm Scale: World War II is beyond squirmy. Drift Factor: I looked at my watch once after an hour. Tissue Usage: None Oscar Worthy: No Big Screen or Rental: While I always suggest the big screen, rental would be fine. Length: 90 minutes LOBO HOWLS: 7

Lost and Found January 30, 2010

11 comments
It’s always something, isn’t it? At 6AM this morning, on my way out of my building to walk my dog, Benny, the doorman tells me he saw a loose dog in the adjacent courtyard overnight. “What kind of dog”, I say – “a pit bull?” He said “it looked like a boxer puppy”. I sighed and said “keep me informed.”
At 6:45AM my phone rings. “We see the dog – do you have a crate?” the doorman says.
Like a woman possessed I run to the lobby with my cat carrying crate. The doorman, two building porters and I try to capture one very frightened small dog. It took about 15 minutes but we managed to capture her and put her in the carrying case.
I recognized her immediately as the ‘LOST DOG’ I had seen on many lamp posts in the neighborhood for the past several days. We ran to the dog park to get one of the posters. Her name is ‘GIA’ and she had been missing for five days. We phoned the number on the ‘LOST DOG’ poster but only got a voice mail. We also phoned the microchip number on the poster to no avail.
She was shivering and frightened. It has been brutally cold in NYC these past few days and nights. I brought her some of Benny’s food and water. She wolfed everything down. I gave her one of Benny’s toys and she immediately put her head on it and began to fall asleep.
I brought GIA up to my apartment and fell in love in about three minutes. She ate two bowls of Benny’s food, and managed to scare my cat (which is not easy to do). She spotted Benny’s overflowing toy box and went crazy for all of the half eaten bones.
I phoned the number on the poster once again and finally got her Dad, Sacha. He was thrilled and started to cry. He was working in LA but assured me that his team of friends were in the neighborhood putting up more ‘LOST DOG’ posters and would be at my apartment momentarily.
More photos were taken, lots of dog kisses were received and before you know it, little GIA was retrieved and nestled into the arms of a good friend of her Dads.
It’s always something. This time – it was a good something.

| Movie Review: Fish Tank
Alternate Title: Life’s a Bitch and Then You Die Story: Within the first 10 minutes of this film we know all we need to know about 15 year old Mia. She is angry, reckless, violent, has no friends, lives in a dysfunctional single parent household (project housing) with an equally angry younger sister and a trailer trash mother but she she loves to dance to hip hop and she does love animals . Ah, the saving grace. This far too redundant film was written and directed by Andrea Arnold, who builds this story upon her Oscar winning short ‘Wasp.’ This is billed as a coming of age story but for me and my Wednesday movie buddy it fell short. Mia goes from one bad situation directly into the next with seemingly learning nothing from each experience other than a deeper anger. When her mother brings home a new man to live with them there is a glimmer of hope for a human connection, but that too, goes awry. After awhile all of the characters appear to have no redeeming qualities (except for that love of animals) and we began to give up. This film has won a bunch of European film awards but it feels as if I have seen this film too many times before with better results. I also had a hard time understanding much of the dialogue and thought the film needed subtitles.
Acting: Katie Jarvis as Mia fits the angry young girl to a tee. Michael Fassbender as Connor gave the best performance. Kierston Wareing as the despicable mother Joanne was fine. Rebecca Griffiths as the young sister, Tyler was suitably obnoxious. Trivia: Katie Jarvis was ‘discovered’ when she was having a heated argument with her boyfriend across the platforms at Tilbury Town railway station. She had dropped out of school and was unemployed when she was cast in her first film. Predilection: None Critters: Lots of pit bulls and a an old very thin horse. Sex Spectrum: Yes, there was squirmy sex. Soundtrack: Lots of grinding hip hop and some oldies like California Dreaming. Opening Titles: We see Mia as she struggles with life. Visual Art: The housing project is terribly depressing. Theater Audience: four other people. Weather: It is summer somewhere in England. Sappy Factor: 0 Quirky Meter: 0 Squirm Scale: 2 Drift Factor: I looked at my watch often. Predictability Level: High Tissue Usage: 0 Oscar Worthy: No Big Screen or Rental: If you must – rental would be fine Length: Two hours LOBO HOWLS: 5

| Movie Review: Antichrist
Alternate Title: Nightmare on Elm Street Story: Truth be told, my Wednesday movie buddy and I saw this film almost a month ago. I took off for a vacation the very next day, had no time to write a review and hated the film so much I decided not to spend time writing or thinking about the film. However, I have decided that it is my obligation to warn you NOT to see this film – ever. Director and writer Lars Von Trier, apparently working through his own depression, managed to make me depressed in the process. Good going, Lars. This pretentious piece of celluloid porn is about an unnamed couple (they are only referred to as ‘he’ and ’she’) who are trying to work out their grief over the death of their baby (which occurs while the couple are shtupping all over the house). The film is divided into four chapters with a prologue and an epilogue. The prologue and epilogue are in black and white and the chapters are in color. Big whoop. The graphic violence made me wince and cover my eyes. I almost left the theater but was too candy ass to leave. Be warned that the violence includes self-genital mutilation. I felt that Von Trier was just trying to shock us throughout the film. How many images do we really need of an erect penis anyway? I hated both of the characters, had no sympathy for them and wanted them both to die. How’s that?
Acting: Charlotte Gainsbourg and Willem Dafoe are both powerful and dedicated actors. I just hated them in this film. Trivia: Lars Von Trier in 1995, his dying mother told her son on her deathbed that the man he believed was his father was, in fact, was not. Following her death, he tracked down his biological father, a 90-year-old man who after four combative meetings told him that, if he wanted to speak to him again, he could do it through his lawyer. He broke up with his pregnant wife and moved in with their (much younger) babysitter. [1996] He added ‘von’ to his name because his peers at the Danish Film School called him so. Helped form a collective known as Dogme 95 with a group of other filmmakers. The collective agreed to make films following certain rules, such as using only hand held cameras and shooting only on location. The year von Trier won the Palme D’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, he almost did not attend the ceremony. He has so many phobias, he could only make the trip in a specially outfitted trailer. Predilection: Dogville, Dancer in the Dark and Breaking the Waves are three of Von Trier’s films that I liked. Critters: I am a bit hazy on the number of animals in the film. If I recall correctly there is a talking fox that says ‘chaos reigns,’ a frightened deer, a scary crow and more woodsy animals. Food: I do not remember Sex Spectrum: Lots and lots of sex. Soundtrack: Handel is played during the opening sequence. Very moving. Visual Art: Other than the graphic sex and violence, the film is visually quite beautiful. Theater Audience: Two other people. Squirm Scale: I squirmed often. Predictability Level: I dod not care what happened I just wanted the film to end. Tissue Usage: I cried that I wasted my time and money. Oscar Worthy: No Big Screen or Rental: Neither. Length: Too long at whatever length. LOBO HOWLS: 2 (the opening scene was terrific)

Don’t Clap, Don’t Stand January 28, 2010

So it seems that the Ship of State needs a little tweaking, a course correction as they say, right Mr. President? When I wrote in this space the other day about President Obama, I said that ‘I was appalled, frustrated and uber-disappointed with this flailing administration and put the blame directly on the shoulders of President Obama – his an inability to get tough, make the big decisions that need to be made and slam the hammer down. He waffles, wavers, gives lovely speeches but cannot seem to rally the Dreadfulcrats in Congress or the American populace’
Last night’s first State of the Union address reminded what I liked about this President. He is smart, sincere, determined and very likable. I admit to being moved by his speech, unlike the Repugnants who had their asses Krazy-Glued to their seats. They mostly held to their mantra ‘Don’t Clap, Don’t Stand.’ AS the party of ‘no’ they are very determined to stick to their war weary policies of doing nothing and seeing how it goes.
I wish this President well and hope that the Dreadfulcrats can get their collective acts together to pass some needed legislation with their overwhelming majorities in both Houses of Congress before the midterm elections. November 2010 is a long time away and we have a good chance of righting the course, standing up tall and being proud of doing the right thing. As President Obama said last night ‘we don’t quit.’ Keep the faith.
My sitting up straight, eyes popping out of my head moment came when Justice ‘I don’t belong on the bench’ Alito fell out of the collective Supreme Court Justice coma and said “(That’s) not true” when President Obama criticized the recent Supreme Court decision permitting corporations to buy unlimited ads to influence elections.
A sad farewell to the remarkable Howard Zinn:

A big sigh can be heard from Casa Lobo. Wha’ happened? I am appalled, frustrated and uber-disappointed with this flailing administration and I put the blame directly on the shoulders of President Obama. He seems to have an inability to get tough, make the big decisions that need to be made and slam the hammer down. He waffles, wavers, gives lovely speeches but cannot seem to rally the Dreadfulcrats in Congress or the American populace. The election win by Scott Brown has got the Dreadfulcrats in a tailspin. Grow a set Mr President and lead. Make the tough decisions, get the economy going and remember – it is the economy, stupid. Bob Herbert wrote another fine piece in today’s New York Times about Obama’s credibility gap.
- Listen to Rachel Maddow on this subject of President Obama’s latest ploy to win the hearts, mind and pocketbooks of the American people.
- The groundswell to kill the filibuster is growing. Raise your hand if you think this is going to go anywhere.
- And then there is the rush to the exit door. Check out this bit about Senator Blanche Lincoln:
- Jim DeMint is a tool.
- Just when you thought your could never smile again – check out this cute clip I filmed last November in St Croix:

NYC is quiet early on the weekends. Most everyone is sleeping in or out of town. So while walking my dog Benny to Petco around 9AM Saturday morning I spot a very handsome man exiting Zaro’s bakery. Is it Derek Jeter? Does he, like David Wright, the Mets ball player and all around cute one, live around the corner from me?
The I realized – it was Harold Ford, Jr. He’s the man that moved from Tennessee three years ago after losing his Senate race and has quietly begun to stir the pot here in the Big Apple. He appears regularly on MSNBC as a talking head. I mentioned him awhile back as the guy who has the chutzpah to challenge Kirsten Gillibrand in the upcoming Democratic primary. He was on his cellphone speaking to someone about an upcoming interview, I was going to interrupt him and tell him to ‘go for it’ but Benny had to sniff a very pungent fire hydrant and I missed my chance. Ford wrote an op/ed piece in the NY Times today. I am not sure what his real agenda is – but stay tuned – the NYC Primary is going to be very interesting. Andrew Cuomo is going to throw his big hat into the Democratic Primary for Governor this week too.
- The PS on my jury duty experience last week. I was disqualified from one jury for being too opinionated. Moi? We were all excused mid-day on the second day and thanked for our service. We were told that we would not be called for any State jury duty for the next six years. However- if the Feds call us for jury duty – well, good luck. So, it is anyone’s guess who will be called for the upcoming terrorist trials (if they ever happen). Can you imagine that jury pool?

 Movie Review: Creation
Alternate Title: Survival of the Fittest Story: 2009 was the 150th anniversary of the publication of ‘On the Origin of Species‘ and the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth and yet this new British film about Charles Darwin has failed to land a distribution deal in the States because his theories on human evolution are too controversial for religious American audiences, according to the film’s producer. Say what? Yes, it seems that his seminal publication about evolution is still a hot potato issue in these wacky, crazy United States. That alone is reason for you to go out to see this film – if you can find it in your area. This biopic focus’ on the years immediately preceding publication of his ideas. Thoughtfully directed by Jon Amiel and written by John Collee it is based on the book “Annie’s Box: Charles Darwin, his Daughter, and Human Evolution ” by Randal Keynes, a great, great grandson of Charles Darwin. Darwin feared that the publication of his book would effectively kill God. As we all know, that did not happen, but the more Darwin came to believe his theories the more certain he was that it was of the utmost importance to share his ideas with the world. The agony of bringing his book to publication is the heart of this film. It purports to show his struggle with his faith, his marriage and the deep grief over his 10 year old daughter Annie’s death. Truth be told, I would have preferred more scenes about his voyages on the HMS Beagle, but this film is not about those travels. Much of the film is shot between two time sequences. The so-called present and the time before his daughter dies. Much of the film shows Darwin’s inner struggle to write his tome. However, there are some very cool scenes showing growth and decay in the natural world and Darwin’s belief that the natural world is cruel, harsh and constantly evolving to make way for the fittest. The film is a thoughtful homage to a great man and I recommend your seeing it -if you can somehow find it. In celebrating Darwin’s 200th birthday check out The Daily Show’s Best Evolution Moments. For those that are Darwin loyalists, the Complete Works of Charles Darwin can now be found on line. One more site all about Darwin here.
Acting: Paul Bettany as Charles Darwin is believably anguished and tortured. Jennifer Connelly as wife, Emma Darwin is just right for this role. Jeremy Northam as Reverend Innes, does an admirable job. Young Martha West as little Annie Darwin is terrific. Trivia: Paul Bettany has been married to Jennifer Connelly since 2003. They met on the set of ‘A Beautiful Mind.’ Jennifer Connelly grew up in Brooklyn Heights, just across the Brooklyn Bridge from Manhattan, except for the four years her family spent in Woodstock, New York. Predilection: Charles Darwin is one of my heroes. Critters: Oh my. All manner of creature from the wee maggot to the magnificent orangutan. Food: I do not recall anyone eating anything. Sex Spectrum: None Soundtrack: Dramatically appropriate. Opening Titles: A lovely sequence with Darwin telling a story of his adventures to Tierra Del Fuego to his darling daughter Annie. Visual Art: A fine depiction of 1859 England. Theater Audience: About 20 of the fittest. Weather: It is England. We get to see all kinds of weather. Sappy Factor: 0 Quirky Meter: 0 Squirm Scale: If you accept the notion that the natural world is cruel you will not squirm. Drift Factor: I paid attention throughout Predictability Level: High Tissue Usage: I cried over the cutest orangutan called Jenny. Oscar Worthy: Probably not. Soap Box: Don’t get me started on the Creationists. Big Screen or Rental: Go for the big screen. Length: Under two hours. LOBO HOWLS: 7.5
