Sundance 2012 Review: Get Confined to ’28 Hotel Rooms’ in Matt Ross’ Intoxicating Affair
Film Festivals By Allison Loring on January 29, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhat starts off as a seemingly innocent conversation between two people in a hotel restaurant quickly devolves into those people (played by Chris Messina and Marin Ireland) falling into bed together. It is not a new idea – two people, away from home, deciding to vacate their real lives for a night of anonymous pleasure, but director/screenwriter Matt Ross’ 28 Hotel Rooms begins to paint two characters who are a bit more interesting and become increasingly so as their relationship twists and turns. After their first night together, Ireland’s character is revealed to be a newlywed and while Messina’s character does not seem thrown by that fact, it also makes you wonder why someone so new to her marriage would be willing to cheat on it. It is revealed that Ireland is less than comfortable with the indiscretion she just gave in to and one would think things would end here, but despite her tears and seeming regret, this does not end up being the last time these two reach out to each other.
Kevin Carr’s Weekly Report Card: September 17, 2010
Features By Kevin Carr on September 17, 2010 | Comments (1)This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr is stuck in an elevator reviewing movies, but he realizes that being in there with the Devil isn’t nearly as bad when you’re also stuck in there with faux-slut Emma Stone. To pass the time, he robs a few banks in The Town of Boston with Ben Affleck and embroiders a scarlet Easy A on his chest. Sigh… if only he had worn a shirt when he did that…
New ‘Devil’ Trailer Traps You In an Elevator with Satan
Movie News By Cole Abaius on July 14, 2010 | Comments (3)The name of M. Night Shyamalan may have been greatly tarnished by M. Night Shyamalan, but there’s no denying that this trailer for Devil makes the film that he produced (but didn’t direct, if that helps) look engaging and deadly. It begs the classic question of what you’d do if you were trapped inside an elevator and, instead of a porn star played by Carla Gugino, it’s the great Satan himself hiding amongst your crew. Answer the question yourself, and take a look at the trailer after the jump.
Kevin Carr’s Weekly Report Card: March 26, 2010
Features By Kevin Carr on March 26, 2010 | Comments (6)This week, chubby man about town Kevin Carr takes a look at How to Train Your Dragon, Hot Tub Time Machine (which sounds right up his alley) and Greenberg. You may want to wear a helmet.
‘Greenberg,’ Noah Baumbach’s latest, is a mixed bag, with an enormously likable character battling a deeply reprehensible one for screen time.
‘Quarantine’ Directors Dance with Shyamalan’s ‘Devil’
Movie News By Neil Miller on October 16, 2009 | Comments (3)M. Night Shyamalan is going back to the horror genre. Only this time, he’s just coming up with the idea and letting others run with it…
By the end of the movie you’ll probably find yourself hungry, and not just for that delicious looking bruschetta from earlier in the film. The movie itself fails to satisfy or feel complete in any way, and will probably leave you craving something more substantial. They learn to cook. They cook. The end.
