[H2] How does it compare with other Horror films?
(text)Horror movies are often judged according how effectively they scare us, but the classics are almost always about more visceral thrills, and with Get Out the first time feature director Jordan Peele offers a reminder of the genre’s versatility.
[p] Horror movies are often judged according how effectively they scare us, but the classics are almost always about more visceral thrills, and with Get Out the first time feature director Jordan Peele offers a reminder of the genre’s versatility.
[H3] It’s a 99% on Rotten Tomatoes
(text)Inverting suburban horror tropes, the storyline finds a young black man (Daniel Kaluuya) meeting his white girlfriend’s (Allison Williams) parents for the first time – a visit that starts with all the awkward tension you’d spect before taking a more sinister turn.
The reviews says Peele’s pulled off an audacious debut here, bleeding horror and comedy in service of a storyline whose scary elements are just one layer of intelligent, timely look at modern American race relations.
[H4] Should I see it?
If you’re up for a frightening night out that’ll also make you laugh and make you think, critics urges you to Get Out and see this.
Ridley Scott! Directing from an original script by Cormac McCarthy! What could go wrong? How about the fact that, despite his A-list status, every other movie Scott directs is actually Rotten? Or that McCarthy had never written a screenplay before, and his trademark gritty pontificating does not a good script make?
After directing Jurassic World to $1.5 billion and signing on to do the ninth Star Wars movie, Colin Trevorrow took a quick detour to make passion project The Book of Henry. It’s a manipulative, misconceived movie involving adult predators, dead kids and brain tumors, and Naomi Watts prowling the neighborhood with a sniper rifle. The movie choked on a 21% Tomatometer, and three months later, Trevorrow exited from directing Star Wars.
Just two years into Rotten Tomatoes’ infancy, and four years after the groundbreaking Trainspotting, Danny Boyle’s The Beach was a high-profile embarrassment that caused the director and his star Leonardo DiCaprio — still in the suffocating afterglow of Titanic — to hit the comeback trail. Boyle’s next movie would be zombie flick-revitalizer 28 Days Later, while DiCaprio bided his time subjugating Don’s Plum. Oh, and starting a fruitful working relationship with Martin Scorsese.
A Spidey reboot so soon after Sam Raimi’s infamous Spider-Man 3? Sony ran the risk of audiences getting fed up being whipped around like so much wrist web around Manhattan, but that was before seeing how well Andrew Garfield slipped into the role in the Certified Fresh Amazing Spider-Man.. Then came the sequel, which, fittingly, had the same faults of Spider-Man 3: indifferent direction and way too many villains. It was enough to get Sony to tie a complicated knot with Marvel, and bring the character over to the MCU.
After two dour Superman movies from Zack Snyder, comic book fans were hoping to hang their cape on Suicide Squad for a little levity in the world of DC. Squad was the live-action debut of fan favorite Harley Quinn, it had Will Smith, the promotional material and trailers were on point, and director David Ayer had proven himself in other tough genres. Alas, it had the same incomprehensible plotting and muddled character treatment that plagued the preceding DCEU efforts.
At one point, each Ben Affleck-directed movie was ranked 94%. That’s even more impressive than winning the big Oscar for a movie about a fake science-fiction movie (the closest that genre will ever get to Best Picture). So Live by Night, Affleck’s gangster period piece, had all the trappings of another success. And that’s all the more alarming when critics riddled it with a 35% score, leading to a $10 million domestic gross.
H’wood has been drawing from the public domain well hardcore these past few years (think Jungle Book, think Tarzan, think too many movies with the word Origins in the title), so what did this movie with Charlie Hunnam as chav Arthur have going for it? Well, the director was Guy Ritchie, who was coming off of cult pleaser Man From U.N.C.L.E. and did a bang-up job updating Sherlock Holmes. (That one time, at least.) Did we mention Arthur as a chav? Oi! Ultimately, we’re calling this a major turkey because it presaged for all the turkeys that would quickly follow: Summer 2017 was a tastefully apocalyptic season as multiple Rotten blockbusters bombed in a row: Baywatch, Transformers: Is It The Fifth One?, and Pirates: The One That Just Came Out. Naturally, when we got covered in The New York Times, a major studio chief executive “declared flatly that his mission was to destroy the review- aggregation site.”
“Is it just me, or do we actually know how to do this better than live-action crews do?” Finding Nemo director Andrew Stanton humbly pondered in a New Yorker piece during production of John Carter (née Mars). Hopes were high for these Pixar directors to make good on breaking free of the animation “ghetto” (Brad Bird made Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol the year before), and rival executives were anticipating they’d be taken down a notch, especially for having the gall to adapt something as difficult and weird as Edgar Rice Burroughs’ books. John Carter‘s anemic marketing and failure to break past the Fresh barrier led to a cosmic box office bust.
The year is 2004. It’s been 10 years since Walt Disney Animation’s last masterpiece, The Lion King. The Pixar new wave had changed the industry, and traditional animation was on its way out. Home on the Range was Disney’s attempt to match the high irreverence of 3D cartoons, which only alienated critics and audiences. The studio produced only computer animation from there on, save for 2009’s The Princess and the Frog, which, though Certified Fresh, would again fail to find a global audience.

As if it weren’t enough that Memoria served as one of a whopping nine movies Franco released in 2016, it’s also based on a short story he wrote — all of which might make it sound like the vanity project to end all vanity projects, if not for the universally positive critical reception it earned during its limited release. Granted, at five reviews, we’re dealing with a limited sample size — at a certain point, Franco becomes too prolific even for people paid to watch the movies — but a rave is a rave, and this quiet character study about a troubled Bay Area teen earned its share, with its author’s supporting turn as a concerned teacher helping anchor the drama. “Despite clocking in at a scant 70 minutes,” wrote Michael Rechtshaffen for the Los Angeles Times, “Memoria manages to make a hauntingly poetic impression.”
