Risky Days

1 day ago | splicetoday.com | Stephen Silver

With Sorry, Baby, writer/director Eva Victor successfully juggles a variety of risky tones. In her directorial debut, Eva Victor has made something unique: a story of surviving sexual assault that’s nothing like every other film on that subject that I’ve ever seen, with warmth, humor, and surprising emotion. It’s a juggling of tones that was risky and could’ve gone off the rails, but Victor pulled it off.
Tarantino's Gold

Stealing Pulp Fiction bungles its promising premise. Stealing Pulp Fiction has a promising premise: It’s a comedy about a couple of film nerds (Jon Rudnitsky and Karan Soni) who decide to steal Quentin Tarantino’s personal 35mm print of Pulp Fiction from the Tarantino-owned New Beverly theater.
When It's All a Mess

28 Years Later is a mostly brilliant and thoroughly unpleasant sequel with an utterly unnecessary final scene. Danny Boyle reinvented the zombie genre with 28 Days Later, as the Alex Garland-penned film did away with the slow-moving undead that American filmmakers had adopted from George Romero’s Living Dead franchise. Although the rapid, animalistic nature of 28 Days Later’s villains was unnerving, it was Boyle’s stylized direction that made the film so eerie.
Brand Awareness

Director Joseph Kosinski’s 2010 legacy sequel Tron: Legacy wasn’t a notable film, other than the fact that it was (at the time) the most expensive directorial debut of all-time. While Kosinski’s name isn’t listed among the greatest working directors, his ability to impose classical blockbuster storytelling on expensive, boundary-pushing technical productions hasn’t gone unnoticed.
Stay Real

Teddy Riley: Stay real. But when one door closes, a bigger door opens. Jaylah “Doechii” Hickmon: If that happens to be through the internet, then maybe. Riley: Man, you already know the answer to that. Hickmon: Like, number one, no I didn’t, and number two, why would you say that? Riley: Because the one thing you can take with you is your God-given talent. ••• Hickmon: You can be a stranger. Riley: You’re damn right. Hickmon: Like, please don’t play with me.
28 Years Later Misses the Mark

1 week ago | splicetoday.com | Stephen Silver

The highly anticipated follow up to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later is the worst of the three films by far. I know what it is about zombie stories, especially of the prestige variety, that makes them run out of steam quickly. The Walking Dead started well but trailed off after a year or two. The Last of Us petered out even faster than that. And now there’s 28 Years Later, the third in the film series that began in 2002 with 28 Days Later and continued 2007 with 28 Weeks Later.
Haight Street: Queens Vs. San Francisco

1 week ago | splicetoday.com | Kevin Walsh

You might think San Francisco and Flushing have nothing in common, but they share something. At the extreme western end of Flushing, between College Point Blvd., the Van Wyck Expressway, the Long Island Railroad and the Kissena Park Corridor, there’s a cluster of small streets unnoticed except by their residents and the people who work there.
Barbara Guest Suspended in Meaning or Less

The New York school was a postwar avant-garde poetry tradition of gleeful abstraction and confusion. Poets like John Ashbery, Frank O’Hara, James Schuyler, Kenneth Koch, and their disciples were influenced by painting, cartoons, French symbolists, nonsense, and each other in creating poems of garbled meandering and cosmopolitan insider wisecracks.
This New Epoch of Violence

1 week ago | splicetoday.com | Crispin Sartwell

This may strike you as naive, but then again it’s hard to imagine other ways to make it through: we’re going to have to find a way to repudiate violence, or we’ll be consumed and annihilated by it. That’s a call familiar from great pacifists, particularly those who emerged during the Cold War, with its nuclear standoffs, brushfire conflagrations, and threats of global destruction.
Dever Vinegar

1 week ago | splicetoday.com | Liam Gaughan

Even when Apple Cider Vinegar is too pointed in its message to sustain its narrative, Kaitlyn Dever’s performance justifies it. Apple Cider Vinegar is loosely inspired by the true story of Belle Gibson, a former health influencer who authored books, blogs, and entire digital spaces dedicated to wholesome eating and alternative medicine.
