Movie Review: “Peace, Love, and Misunderstanding”? Boomer Baloney

Here is what I learned from watching the film Peace, Love, and Misunderstanding: Boomers are being sold down the river.

Coming Attractions in Film: June 2012

‘Tis is the season for film festivals in the Boston and Massachusetts area. From Provincetown and Nantucket to the Berkshires and Roxbury, it’s a cornucopia of international, documentary, and narrative film.

Film Review: “Sound of My Voice”

Sound of My Voice has a lot twists and turns, much charm, and credible suspense. Have I yielded to the cult of Brit Marling? I was always a sucker for pretty face, and a good yarn.

Fuse Film Review: The Independent Film Festival of Boston — Ten Movies To Look For

The Independent Film Festival of Boston has achieved a reputation as one of the hippest in the country because of the dedication of its small and dedicated staff, an army of well-trained volunteers, and audiences full college students, artists, art lovers, and cinephiles.

Coming Attractions in Film: May 2012

After catching your breath from a heavy dose of April film festivals, you may think you need a rest! While this month’s Boston area offerings may look tidy in number, they are sprawling in scope. April provided a look at what’s coming and current, but May is steeped in history and alternative cinema.

Movie Review: “The Deep Blue Sea” — A Feast for the Eye and the Mind

While “The Deep Blue Sea” may be a throwback to another era, director Terence Davies has used his masterful style to engage the audience cinematically and psychologically in an elegant circular structure.

Film Review: Life Without Principle

Ching-wan Lau as the obliging gangster Panther

Director Johnnie To has a playfulness found in much Hong Kong cinema. He has found a different way to unfold a story, making clear how money and greed can inform everything, but with plenty of room for humor and for good fortune.

By: Tim Jackson Filed Under: Featured, Film Tagged: Henry David Thoreau, Johnnie To, Life Without Principle
