Rating: PG-13 Stars: Dwayne Johnson, Chris Evans, Lucy Liu, J.K. Simmons, Bonnie Hunt, Kristofer Hivju, Kiernan Shipka, Wesley Kimmel, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, Nick Kroll Writer: Chris Morgan, story by Hiram Garcia Director: Jake Kasdan Distributor: MGM/Amazon Studios Release Date: November 15, 2024 The premise of RED ONE contains all sorts of intriguing Northern and Eastern European folklore: not only Santa Claus, but some darker figures as well. This could have made a great Rankin-Bass special, either with conventional animation or RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER-style puppetry, or even a live-action fantasy, a la the NARNIA films. However, RED ONE, directed by […]Read On »

Movie Review: LONGLEGS

Rating: R Stars: Maika Monroe, Blair Underwood, Alicia Witt, Nicolas Cage, Michelle Choi-Lee, Lauren Acala, Kiernan Shipka, Ava Kelders, Carmel Amit Writer: Osgood Perkins| Director: Osgood Perkins Distributor: Neon Release Date: July 12, 2024 LONGLEGS succeeds at being admirably scary, leavened by some very funny moments. Mixing FBI procedural thriller with supernatural chiller, writer/director Osgood Perkins has made a film that feels something like a hybrid of 1991’s THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and 1982’s HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH. (The latter isn’t a spot-on comparison, but it’s close as far as the magical mechanisms.) We get quite a […]Read On »

Movie Review: THE BLACKCOAT’S DAUGHTER

THE BLACKCOAT'S DAUGHTER | © 2017 A23

Rating: R Stars: Emma Roberts, Kiernan Shipka, Lucy Boynton, Lauren Holly, James Remar Writer: Osgood Perkins Director: Osgood Perkins Distributor: A24 Release Date (theatrical and VOD): March 31, 2017 If a singer holds a note, no matter how beautifully pitched, for too long, it becomes simply sound. The same holds true of ambiguity in a horror movie. If a filmmaker tries to cast doubt over every character and every action, it can be hard to work up suspense, because it’s unclear who is in danger. This is the case with THE BLACKCOAT’S DAUGHTER, written and directed by Osgood Perkins. There […]Read On »

Stars: John Hamm, Elisabeth Moss, Vincent Kartheiser, Christina Hendricks, Jared Harris, John Slattery, January Jones, Jessica Pare, Robert Morse, Aaron Staton, Rich Sommer, Kiernan Shipka Writer: Jonathan Igla & Matthew Wiener, Series created by Matthew Wiener Director: Matthew Wiener Network: AMC, airs Sunday nights Original Telecast: June 10, 2012 It’s funny. I thought following on the heels of last week’s episode of MAD MEN, that there would be a HUGE finale that would leave fans reeling, but honestly it felt more like a normal episode with not a lot of huge revelations taking place. “The Phantom” just seems like it […]Read On »

The Top Ten WOW Moments of MAD MEN Season Five

By SEAN ELLIOTT 06/09/2012

The fifth season of MAD MEN has been interesting. There have been lots of changes and losses and even some gains. The series still manages to keep me completely entertained and ready for the next episode as soon as the current one is ending. Since there have been so many random WOW moments this season (and the finale hits Sunday night), ASSIGNMENT X decided it was time to look back at the best (and in some cases most disturbing moments) of Season 5. 10. Megan gets a musical introduction Making sure to show that Megan (Jessica Pare) is not just […]Read On »

Just when you think things couldn’t go darker in the offices of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, we have “Commissions and Fees”. There is only one episode left of the season and I really have absolutely NO idea […]Read On »

Interview: MAD MEN star Elisabeth Moss on Peggy and Season 5

AMC’s series MAD MEN, now in its fifth season Sundays at 9 PM, has some things in common with its character Peggy Olson, played by Elisabeth Moss. When MAD MEN, created by Matthew Weiner, began its run in 2007, no one knew that it would turn out to be an award-winning juggernaut. Likewise, when Moss’ Peggy joined the Madison Avenue advertising firm then known as Sterling-Cooper in 1960, no one foresaw that she would become the company’s first female copywriter and one of the strongest people there. Moss has been nominated for the Supporting Actress in a Drama Series three […]Read On »
