Opposing Reviews: Melissa & Liz review Woody Allen’s ‘Irrational Man’ with Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone & Parker Posey

irrationalman_poster [imdb id=”tt3715320″ plot=”short”]

Liz and I often agree on movies, but there are occasions where we do not, and Irrational Man is one of them. As it rolls out to theaters across the country, starting with this weekend, we thought you might like to read two different opinions. Enjoy!

Melissa

Looking through the stills of Irrational Man, I almost remember it fondly. Seeing these characters without the context of the movie, they are attractive and happy. Within the movie, Joaquin is a bitter, drunk college professor with some sort of social disorder and a Emma is a student who falls in love with her teacher.

So what’s it about? Abe (Joaquin Phoenix) is the new philosophy professor whose cynical yet brilliant ideas attract a student, Jill (Emma Stone) as well as a colleague, Rita (Parker Posey). Ok, another example of a young woman attracted to an older man. But wait, is it?

I’m typically a Woody Allen fan, but I didn’t care for the last movie with Emma Stone, Magic in the Moonlight, either. In this, Emma is way too eager and without a likeable personality. She knows she’s a silly girl, yet she doesn’t shy away from it. Parker Posey is even more manic than expected and it actually works pretty well. She’s a bright spot.

Joaquin seems totally miscast and never really gets into the role. His words don’t seem natural at all and come off as though he’s adding words on his own. It kills me, as I’ve loved everything he’s been in.

The story is pretty original however, with unexpected turns, especially the ending. As per usual with a Woody Allen movie, it’s beautifully shot and edited. The soundtrack is unbelievably repetitive, with the same piano version of “Judy In Disguise” playing over and over again in pretty much every scene. I had never noticed this in Allen’s movies before, but I certainly noticed it this time around.

WASP_DAY_13-176.CR2

Liz

On the flip side of the coin, I found this film to be pretty delightful. There is no mistaking this is pure Woody Allen fare. Punctuated by loose jazz standards, quippy, fast-paced dialogue, including dairy-esque monologues moving the film’s plot along nicely. It’s not too far fetched that one overheard conversation can change the course of your life forever, but certainly for amusing and dramatic purposes, this one is pretty over the top. The plot also revolves heavily around the concentration of philosophy, which is the subject Joaquin’s character teaches. One of the best tongue in cheek lines is a direct quote from his portrayal of Abe, ” Philosophy is verbal masturbation.” This is kind of the perfect way to describe Allen’s writing style in general and I think you either gravitate towards it, or you don’t.

WASP_DAY_20-0175.CR2

I was certainly pleased with all the performances in the film. Emma Stone‘s Jill is eager, bright, yet her flippant idolatry for her professor is not so far fetched. It’s a strong performance she owns with ease. Phoenix, for me, was perfectly cast as Abe. His jaded, depression filled, existential crisis excuses are anything but boring. It was refreshing to see him in something with a biting sense of humor as far as the script is concerned. And then we have my girl, Parker Posey as Rita. I’ve been a huge fan since her Waiting For Guffman and House of Yes days. She has an uncanny ability to slip into whatever role is thrown at her. Her genuine nonchalance as a bored fellow professor is just the best. Being of the same age and stage as Abe gives the two a breezy interaction that allows Posey to shine as a real person. Not a caricature of a woman, but a really well written woman, with hopes, dreams, opinions, unafraid and yet still completely vulnerable. I would have watched a full film about Rita.

So, there you go movie fans. Two Woody Allen fans with two very different opinions of the same film. I guess you’ll just have to buy a ticket and find out for yourself. Irrational  Man opens in theaters this weekend opening in more theaters throughout the coming weeks.

Liz’s Review: The mystery that is ‘Mr. Holmes’ is newly enchanting.

Mr Holmes PosterBooks and films and a very successful television series, the enigma of the world’s greatest detective once again leaps off the pages and onto the big screen in a new and refreshing take on the master of mystery. Mr. Holmes gives us the story of Sherlock, post Watson, decades after his retirement, residing in the  beautiful Welsh countryside. Frustrated with the public’s misconception of him, Holmes gathers his own pen and ink to illustrate his final case and the moments that lead him to his present.mr holmesNot a hair out of place, Bill Condon‘s directorial adaptation of the novel, “A Slight Trick of the Mind” is pure brilliance. The script is witty, openly poking fun at assumed literary cannon. Mr. Holmes is magically bright and haunting all at once. With a surrounding of everyone’s dreams in London and Wales, how can one go wrong alone visually. The music is a lovely addition and the costumes are exquisite. Mr Holmes Ian and LauraSir Ian McKellan is elegant as Sherlock. Unafraid and sharp, his iconic intonation continues to be a gift each time we are presented with him. His screen presence is something to be studied and emulated. A mere glance from this legend invokes 1000 words unspoken. Wonderfully paired with Laura Linney, as his dedicated housekeeper Mrs. Munro, these two are quite a team. Linney’s performance is laden with a desperate sadness that is truly palpable. Quietly frustrated with her stage in life, while attempting to raise a bright, young son, and take care of an aging and brash Sherlock, she is oftentimes unappreciated and incapable to expressing her melancholy to it’s healthy extent. It’s a beautiful performance. New on the scene is Milo Parker as Linney’s son, and McKellan eager young sidekick, Roger. This gorgeous young boy is a bit of a phenom. Parker will be appearing in the upcoming remake of Ghostbusters and Tim Burton‘s highly anticipated adaptation of Ransom Riggs‘ YA novel “Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children” (Which, if you have not yet read, get thee to a book store, immediately). His performance as Roger is far beyond cute. It is thoughtful and honest and you cannot help but fall madly in love with this child. This is simply the beginning for him, I have no doubt.  If you’re a fan of Holmes, you’ll love this film. If you’re a fan of great acting, you’ll love this film. If you’re a fan of beautifully done period pieces, you’ll love this film. If you’re a fan of splendid movies, you must see Mr. Holmes.

Mr. Holmes comes to theaters today, Friday, July 17th.

‘The Last Starfighter’ Coming to a Television Near You!

StarfighterBar6401

 

Variety is reporting that Surreal.tv is teaming with The Last Starfighter screenwriter Jonathan Betuel for a new show that will be titled “The Starfighter Chronicles.” This is amazing news for fans of the cult 80’s film who have been clamoring for new stories set in the Starfighter universe ever since its original release.

The Last Starfighter was released in 1984 and stars Lance Guest as Alex Rogan, a teenage gamer who is recruited by an intergalactic fleet, the Star League, to help defend the galaxy against the evil forces of Xur and his Kodan Aramada…yes…I did just quote the movie.

The trade is reporting that the new show will not be a continuation of the original movie sadly and the show will focus more on “alien law enforcement” rather than the recruitment angle. While the new show is meant to be viewed on regular TV’s, the goal is to have the show feature special scenes that allow viewers equipped with virtual reality headsets to look around and explore the inside of a spaceship or immerse themselves in an alien firefight.
