This observation must be noted with reserve, however. “300: Rise of an Empire” is not an important movie, nor is it a reasonable representation of history. Rather, it offers a highly fictionalized look at the second Persian invasion of Greece, and it serves as an excuse for shirtless men to swing swords at one another in a series of lengthy but exciting battle sequences.</p> <p> </p> <p>Although directed by Noam Murro (“Smart People”), “Rise of an Empire” takes its visual cues from Snyder’s original film. Since Snyder is also a producer and co-screenwriter, the project is as much his as Murro’s, meaning both men deserve credit … for the good and bad.</p> <p> </p> <p>The story – based on Frank Miller’s graphic novel “Xerxes” – takes place before, during and after the events depicted in “300.” Snippets of the earlier movie are shown in flashback in a halfhearted attempt to tie the films together, but the real focus is on Athenian general Themistocles (Sullivan Stapleton).</p> <p> </p> <p>In an early sequence, viewers are told that Themistocles killed the Persian king Darius (Igal Naor) in a military conflict, prompting the king’s son, Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), to mount a vengeful attack on Greece. Viewers then watch as Themistocles participates in great battles against a mighty Persian naval commander named Artemisia (Eva Green).</p> <p> </p> <p>Both Themistocles and Artemisia are presented as superheroes capable of dispatching average human warriors with the swipe of a hand. Murro spends a great deal of time idolizing the two and preparing audiences for their climactic final showdown.</p> <p> </p> <p>Although the plotting is wrapped around a simple historical skeleton, the details are manipulated to craft a melodramatic, soap opera-like fable. Because of this – and because Murro knows most viewers are only interested in the action – “Rise of an Empire” is neither subtle nor smart. The pacing is fast, the battle sequences are gorgeously staged, and the stylized depictions of violence are as brutal as they are artistically pleasing. As with “300,” many sequences play like a live-action comic book, and that is a compliment.</p> <p> </p> <p>Stapleton and Green are solid in the physically demanding lead roles, allowing permissive viewers to buy into their inherently unbelievable actions. These two are surrounded by equally fine physical specimens who flash well-chiseled abs and bulging biceps as they swing swords at one another. For audiences that appreciate this sort of glorified combat, “Rise of an Empire” delivers.</p> <p> </p> <p>Blu-ray and DVD extras include five making-of features.  </p> <p> </p> <p><br /> <img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/winterstale.jpg" style="height:351px; width:625px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Winter’s Tale</strong></p> <p><strong>3 stars<br /> Rated PG-13 for violence and some sensuality<br /> Warner Brothers<br /> Available on: Blu-ray, DVD, digital download and on demand</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>With “Winter’s Tale,” Academy Award-winning writer Akiva Goldsman offers a likable yet imperfect interpretation of Mark Helprin’s 1983 novel. The film, like the book, is centered on the story of Peter Lake  (Colin Farrell), a small-time thief who has fallen out of favor with the ruthless gangster who raised him, Pearly Soames (Russel Crowe).</p> <p> </p> <p>In early scenes, Peter barely escapes form Pearly and his thugs thanks to the sudden appearance of a mysterious and powerful white horse. This offers the first hint that Peter is more than an average man and that Pearly’s evil transcends human comprehension.</p> <p> </p> <p>Goldsman is best known as a writer and producer, but for “Winter’s Tale” he made his feature film directing debut. He also co-wrote the screenplay, meaning the movie’s entire artistic weight rests on his shoulders. He is mostly up to the task.  </p> <p> </p> <p>“Winter’s Tale” would be a challenging film for any director because it begins with a realistic, turn-of-the-century setting, then slowly introduces an increasing number of supernatural elements. This is done by design because Peter, at first, has no idea that he is anything special. So, viewers learn about the unusual world he inhabits at the same time he does.</p> <p> </p> <p>Viewers are also treated to a powerful love story that holds the film’s emotional center. Realizing that Pearly will eventually catch up to him, Peter decides to leave town, but not before robbing a fine-looking estate. While deciding what to steal, Peter runs into one of the estate’s residents, a beautiful, young woman named Beverly (Jessica Brown Findlay). Peter immediately abandons his plans to rob the place and becomes hopelessly smitten.</p> <p> </p> <p>Goldsman does a respectable job establishing the rules of the world he is creating, and Farrell, Findlay and Crowe are terrific in their roles. Still, more detail would make the film easier for viewers to digest and appreciate. Although movie bloat has become a problem in recent years, “Winter’s Tale” would have benefited from an increased run time.</p> <p> </p> <p>It’s easy to imagine Goldsman adding as much as an hour to the film. The extra time would have allowed better establishment of the romantic relationship between Peter and Beverly and a considerably better understanding of the magical world they inhabit.  </p> <p> </p> <p>As is, “Winter’s Tale” is a likable romantic drama populated by excellent actors, but one can’t help but wonder how great it could have been.   </p> <p> </p> <p>DVD extras are limited to a single making-of feature. The Blu-ray combo pack contains that short plus two additional behind-the-scenes bits.</p> <p> </p> <p><br /> <img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/enemymovie_0.jpg" style="height:337px; width:625px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Enemy</strong></p> <p><strong>2 stars<br /> Rated R for some strong sexual content, graphic nudity and language<br /> Lionsgate<br /> Available on: Blu-ray, DVD, digital download and DirecTV on demand</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>With the 2013 film “Prisoners,” director Denis Villeneuve delivered a breathtaking dramatic work that left viewers contemplating everything from man’s capacity for evil to the efficacy of torture. The film also closed on a startling, unresolved note that asked us to write our own finish.</p> <p> </p> <p>Considering the expectations established by “Prisoners,” Villeneuve’s latest project, “Enemy,” is a disappointment. One might even call the heavily symbolic movie “self indulgent.”</p> <p> </p> <p>The project is best described as a puzzle picture, a genre made famous by directors like David Lynch, Christopher Nolan and Terry Gilliam. Sometimes these works are fantastic, and sometimes they leave viewers scratching their heads and wondering whether they’ve born witness to greatness or a two-hour train wreck. In fairness to Villeneuva, “Enemy” is neither. The movie is made skillfully, with decent production value, strong performances and a coherent structure. It is also littered with symbolism that one could spend hours deciphering if he or she were so inclined.</p> <p> </p> <p>The best puzzle films work on multiple levels, drawing viewers into a compelling, surface-level tale that encourages them to dig beneath the outer shell in search of hidden gems. “Enemy” is missing that captivating outer layer.</p> <p> </p> <p>The movie centers on Adam Bell (Gyllenhaal), a timid history professor who discovers that a small-time movie actor named Anthony Claire (also Gyllenhaal) is his exact double. Immediately, Adam rents each of Anthony’s films and plans to meet his twin. While Adam’s interest is understandable, Villeneuve allows him to descend into increasing depths of obsession that are inconsistent with the character that viewers have come to know.  </p> <p> </p> <p>At first it seems that Adam is a reserved and studious man uncomfortable when pushing even minor boundaries, yet the plotting forces him into increasingly bizarre territory at a dizzying pace. This is necessary, of course, for Villeneuve to unspool his tale, but the best puzzle pictures don’t call attention to themselves.</p> <p> </p> <p>Despite the inconsistencies in Adam, Gyllenhaal does a fine job defining the basic attributes of his two roles. Anthony is brash, self-assured and reactionary while Adam is mousy, intellectual and dull. In effect, they are polar opposites contained in perfectly matched shells. The supporting cast doesn’t do much heavy lifting, but Mélanie Laurent is solid as Adam’s girlfriend and Sarah Gadon offers a solid reading of Anthony’s wife.</p> <p> </p> <p>Although it is difficult to find fault with the individual pieces of Villeneuve’s puzzle, the finished picture is difficult to embrace. </p> <p> </p> <p>Blu-ray and DVD extras are limited to a single, making-of featurette.</p> <p> </p> <p><br /> <img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/downtownmovie.jpg" style="height:503px; width:500px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>ALSO OUT THIS WEEK</strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>“Downtown 81”:</strong> Remastered version of director Edo Bertoglio’s 1981 cinema verite movie about a struggling artist who desperately tries to sell his paintings in order to reclaim his apartment.

This past year focused on real-life stories, with stellar accomplishments like <em>12 Years a Slave</em>, <em>American Hustle</em>, <em>Wolf of Wall Street</em>, <em>The Butler</em>, and <em>Mandela</em>. However, 2014 is looking to both expand on and provide some counterpoint to this trend, with a new crop of fantasy, sci-fi, futuristic, and supernatural films, as well as historical fiction.</p> <p> </p> <p>As there are every year, a few standout films begin creating buzz long before they debut in theaters. They are touted as the “ones to watch” due to the possession of an all-star cast, their inspiration from a beloved prior work, or fantastic reviews and fanfare from critics. Below you’ll find a few of the films that have already garnered anticipation for their 2014 premieres.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong><em>Noah</em></strong></p> <p>In his first film since <em>Black Swan</em>, Darren Aronofsky takes on a project of massive proportions with <em>Noah</em>. Hoping to resurrect the Biblical epic in a mainstream movie, he plans to retell the famous story of Noah and the flood. With a budget clocking in at around $130 million as well as a cast of A-listers including Jennifer Connelly, Russell Crowe, Emma Watson, and Anthony Hopkins, <em>Noah </em>seems sure to bring in an audience, regardless of their religious views. The film isn’t strictly historical or realistic either, according to Emma Watson, who <a href="http://www.totalfilm.com/news/emma-watson-on-her-future-projects-video-interview">stated in an interview</a>, “It could be set sort of like a thousand years in the future or a thousand years in the past.” The film also features entirely computer-generated, fictitious animals, which Aronofsky <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/darren-aronofsky-paramount-spar-noah-648777">described to <em>The Hollywood Reporter</em></a> as the most complicated that the CGI production company Industrial Light &amp; Magic had ever created.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong><em>Gone Girl</em></strong></p> <p>This film adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s novel of the same name is sure to be a divisive film for viewers. When talking to <em>Entertainment Weekly</em>, Flynn <a href="http://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/gone-girl-film-adaptation-deviate-from-book/">said the film</a> would deviate from the novel, which is typical for film adaptations, but might not go over well for fans of the book. But fans should have faith in director David Fincher, who is no stranger to film adaptations of best-selling books (his resume includes <em>The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo</em>). Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Neil Patrick Harris, and Missi Pyle headline the cast who are sure to perform well in their portrayal of the gritty subject matter.<br />  </p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/enemymovie.jpg" style="height:625px; width:459px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><strong><em>Enemy</em></strong></p> <p>This Canadian adaptation of the Jose Saramago novel <em>The Double </em>has developed a cult following since its screening at the 2013 Toronto Film Festival. The film tells the story of two seemingly identical men living very different lives, both played by Jake Gyllenhaal. While university professor Adam Bell exists in a routine of mundane life, his “double” is fledgling actor Anthony Clair. After seeing a film with Clair in it, Bell sets out to meet him. When they do meet, it becomes clear they aren’t just doppelgangers, they are truly doubles of the same person. The film spirals into a surreal world of who’s who and the origin of the doubles. If you’re a DirecTV subscriber you can catch it ahead of it’s March 14th theatrical release via their OnDemand offerings (more info through <a href="http://www.directstartv.com/">www.directstartv.com</a>).</p> <p> </p> <p><strong><em>Maleficent</em></strong></p> <p>While the story of Maleficent originated in Disney’s famous <em>Sleeping Beauty</em>, this film isn’t going to come close to that kind of saccharine sweetness. Starring Angelina Jolie as the “Mistress of All Evil,” <em>Maleficent</em> tackles the tale of <em>Sleeping Beauty</em> from the villain's perspective. From <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pgmFAOgm5E">the trailer</a> alone, it’s obvious the film will be visually stunning, with cutting-edge computer generated effects and masterful prosthetics. While no reviews have been published yet, expect big box-office numbers similar to those of <em>Snow White</em>.</p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/budapesthotel.jpg" style="height:374px; width:625px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><strong><em>The Grand Budapest Hotel</em></strong></p> <p>This film from famed director Wes Anderson has already generated a slew of positive reviews praising its signature quirkiness and dedication to a lush visual experience. Like his previous films, Anderson stacked <em>The Grand Budapest Hotel</em> with big names, including Ralph Fiennes, Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Jude Law, Owen Wilson, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Saoirse Ronan, Adrien Brody, and Harvey Keitel. While his films aren’t to everyone's taste, if you’re an Anderson fan, this is not going to be one to miss. <a href="http://www.indiewire.com/article/review-wes-andersons-the-grand-budapest-hotel-is-a-delightful-action-comedy-as-only-he-could-make-it">IndieWire’s Eric Kohn declared that</a>, “With each beat exquisitely tied to Anderson's techniques, his zippy historical fairy tale (replete with hand-scrawled chapter headings) has a thoroughly immersive quality.”<br />  </p> <p><br /> <strong><em>Jersey</em></strong><strong><em> Boys</em></strong></p> <p>Based on the Tony Award winning musical of the same name, <em>Jersey Boys</em> tells the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons from before their creation to the eventual breakup of the group. Directed by Clint Eastwood, this film is sure to be one of the most anticipated of the year, as the musical already has a large international fan base. While it doesn’t have a big name cast, expect it to make a star out of John Lloyd young. Young’s portrayal of Valli in the original Broadway production won him an array of awards and critical praise.  </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><strong><em>Boyhood</em></strong></p> <p>Perhaps one of the most ambitious films to be made in recent memory,<em> Boyhood</em> took an astonishing 12 years to film and follows the lead actor from boyhood to adulthood. Writer/director Richard Linklater shot every few years out of the year starting in 2002 to capture the complexities of growing up in today’s world. Created as a series of 12 short films, <em>Boyhood</em> <a href="http://www.timeout.com/us/film/boyhood">was described</a> by <em>Time Out</em>’s Joshua Rothkopf as “unshakable, witty and deeply felt.” Watching lead actor Ellar Coltrane grow from a child to a man in the span of 163 minutes promises to be a moving and powerful experience for the audience.<br />  </p> <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/mostwantedman.jpg" style="height:403px; width:625px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><strong><em>A Most Wanted Man</em></strong></p> <p>In what was, sadly, his last role, Phillip Seymour Hoffman portrays Günther Bachmann, a German intelligence agent on the hunt for an escaped Islamist terrorist he suspects German lawyer Annabel Richter (played by Rachel McAdams) is connected to. Based on the novel of the same name, <em>A Most Wanted Man</em> tells the true story of the wrongly accused terrorist Murat Kurnaz, who was detained and tortured at Guantanamo Bay. It sheds a hypercritical light on American policies and explores the dark side to our intelligence programs. A must-see for those interested in the espionage genre.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Author Bio:</strong></p> <p><em>Kate Voss is a contributing writer at</em> Highbrow Magazine.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/2014-movies" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">2014 movies</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/budapest-hotel" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">budapest hotel</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/wes-anderson" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Wes Anderson</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/noah" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">noah</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/gone-girl" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">gone girl</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/enemy" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">enemy</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/jersey-boys" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">jersey boys</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/boyhood" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">boyhood</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/most-wanted-man" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">a most wanted man</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/hollywood" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Hollywood</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/oscars" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Oscars</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-author field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Kate Voss</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-pop field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Popular:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">not popular</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-bot field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Bottom Slider:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Out Slider</div></div></div> Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:36:43 +0000 tara 4300 at https://www.highbrowmagazine.com https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/3452-movies-watch#comments
