Patrick Wilson
Billy Crudup, Patrick Wilson & Malin Akerman—
Watchmen
—02/28/09
Wilson: 'the leaps that they had made, or the changes that they made, rather, from the graphic novel sort of left room for a minor bit of input, at least, from our side.'
The Alamo (2004)
The Phantom of the Opera (2004)
Roars to life in its least intimate passages...If not for his blind spot for his "angel in hell" Phantom, Schumacher would do Webber's popular entertainment justice.
Hard Candy (2006)
Skews just enough toward
Death and the Maiden
and away from
Saw III
.
Little Children (2006)
That the narration and Field's God's-eye camera draw attention to the film's form doesn't detract from its function: to give us that 'second' in the mirror...
Watchmen (2009)
Any film that depicts a 'superheroic' rapist-brute as a self-styled parody of America's 'true face' can hardly be accused of thematic squeamishness, and any film that sends readers back to the comic for Moore (and Gibbons) has served the public interest.
Watchmen: Director's Cut (2009)
Any film that depicts a 'superheroic' rapist-brute as a self-styled parody of America's 'true face' can hardly be accused of thematic squeamishness, and any film that sends readers back to the comic for Moore (and Gibbons) has served the public interest.
The Switch (2010)
Morning Glory (2010)
Young Adult (2011)
What ultimately makes
Young Adult
worth the trip is Theron’s uncompromising performance, which dares to make Mavis unlikeable and, in the process, earns our pity and, more disturbingly, our identification.
Prometheus (2012)
Maybe
Prometheus
is deep, after all, with Weyland Corporation standing in for 20th Century Fox in an allegory for Scott's artistic aspirations: funding and undermining his ambitions at the same time.
The Conjuring 2 (2016)
When there’s somefin strange...in your neighbor’ood...’oo you gonna call?
The Founder (2016)
Call it 'Big Mac-beth.'
