St. Vincent Review. Murray Is The Shining Light

St. Vincent Review By: Brandon Wolfe The film career of Bill Murray has become neatly bifurcated over the last couple of decades. Murray started out as the droll wiseacre in comedy classics like ‘ Caddyshack ,’ ‘ Stripes ’ and ‘ Ghostbusters ,’ a mode he largely remained in until being reinvented as a seriocomic indie darling by Wes Anderson in ‘Rushmore,’ the mode in which he’s operated ever since. Turning in a parade of performances as sad sacks experiencing midlife crises, the contemporary Murray has little in common with the unflappable sly dog we knew and loved in the ‘80s and early ‘90s, and though Murray’s dramatic work has birthed many gems (chief among them, his work with Anderson and his role in Jim Jarmusch’s ‘Broken Flowers’), many fans have longed for the Murray of old to reemerge. In the early going, ‘St. Vincent’ seems like it might meet the two Murrays in the middle, acting as a hybrid of the wily old Murray from comedies of yore and the new, melancholy Mur

#BillMurray Q&A. He Talks About St. Vincent, Separating Himself From The Public

The AP Film had a chance to sit down and talk to Bill Murray about his upcoming film  St. Vincent,  Separating Himself From The Public   and so much more  . Sitting through the premiere of his latest film, " St. Vincent ," Bill Murray was unexpectedly moved. "I thought, 'Well, I better not be crying when the lights come up,'" Murray recalled in an interview shortly after the film's Toronto Film Festival debut. "That would be bad for my image." His image — deadpan and dry, but always game, ever-adventurous — has swelled over the years. Who by now doesn't know that directors seeking his services must leave a message on an 800 number that he checks infrequently, and pray for a response? Or that he signed up for "Garfield" because he thought the Coen brothers were involved, mistaking the name of screenwriter Joel Cohen. And who hasn't heard of (or better yet experienced first-hand) some serendipitous encounter with Murra

The Monuments Men Review. Film Utterly Disappoints, Playing Fast & Loose

The Monuments Men Review By: MattInRC There are two ways to view the ensemble historical drama The Monuments Men : the first is through the unfiltered eyes of the average moviegoer, interested in the genre and impressed by its stellar cast. The other way is to take a more realistic view of its rise from Oscar-sure-to-be to its odd February banishment. Regardless of how you look at it, the film utterly disappoints, playing fast and loose with its history and wasting every one of its emotional assets along the way. Based on Author Robert M. Edsel's account, the movie follows a group of American artists and designers as they struggle to preserve the world's greatest works of art while the final months of World War II draw to an end. The Nazis have been hording art and sculptures in the hopes of showcasing all of them in a Fuhrer Museum; but as the war turns against them, the Nazis decide to hide the precious works in mines across a battered Europe. Cue the conc
