(USA/Australia) Baz Luhrmann does not do things by halves. Baz Luhrmann does things in exponentials. Baz has never shot a scene and said, “That will do. It is tight, restrained, and says everything that needs to be said.” Baz Luhrmann does not understate. He does not rely on the...
(USA) Here’s the thing. Robert Downey Jr. does Tony Stark—Iron Man’s unsubtle alter ego—effortlessly, convincingly, and with such breezy charm that he’s easily the best thing about superhero movies right now. The man could do it locked inside an iron suit with a...
You’ve just come home from work and you’ve got twelve minutes before you have to run out to meet a friend. One foot out the door, your stomach groans. It’s a scene so typical your life should be a commercial for ready meals. It’s time to revive whatever’s stuck to the...
