Everyone waits until the year is over to compile their “Best of whatever” movie lists. This has become a mundane practice. Time for a bit of a change, kids.<\/em><\/p>\n

Look, the coach (me) evaluated a lot of players (7 to be exact) since last week’s rankings. So let’s drop the usual metaphoric sports-opening and just get right to where The Words<\/em>, For a Good Time Call…<\/em>, Side by Side<\/em>, The Tall Man<\/em> and a few choice indie horror flicks landed. Savvy? <\/p>\n

The new releases for the respective week will have a capsule review at the end of the column. An updated list comes out every Monday. Here’s how things are shaking up so far in 2012:<\/p>\n

REVIEWS<\/strong><\/p>\n

HOUSE OF GHOSTS<\/a><\/p>\n

Many of the award contending films of 2011 (The Artist<\/em>, Hugo<\/em>, War Horse<\/em>, etc.) were all love letters to classic Hollywood filmmaking. House of Ghosts<\/em> is no different. Writer\/director Christopher Mihm is paying homage to legendary haunted horror\/creature filmmaker, William Castle (1959\u2019s House on Haunted Hill<\/em> and 1960\u2019s 13 Ghosts<\/em>). Technically sound and acted splendidly for the time period the screenplay is mimicking, this not only provides tongue-in-cheek laughter for the modern audience, but it still manages to have a subtle suspense about what is taking place within the story. Factor in a George A. Romero-like social commentary that is laced throughout and this black-and-white product becomes clever cinematic entertainment. It really captures the essence of that era of horror filmmaking all while gracefully nodding\/winking to this generation’s intelligence.<\/p>\n

THE WORDS<\/a><\/p>\n

Writers, this story is mainly for you. Yet The Words<\/em> does have the ability to penetrate other ponderous topics, and therefore, minds, as well. Going with the old story-within-a-story delivery, the engrossing 96 minutes almost becomes too short. You\u2019re left wanting more and perhaps the co-writing\/directing team of Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal should have given us some.<\/p>\n

FOR A GOOD TIME, CALL\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n

Simply put, it\u2019s the first female driven rauncher since Bridesmaids \u201cchanged the game\u201d that delivers for the most part. Ari Graynor and Lauren Miller spit and make you joyfully swallow an assortment of crude dialogue as they run a phone sex operation out of their NYC apartment. Their chemistry, along with the directed screenplay, come together (pun intended) nicely early on, but stamina does become an issue in the latter parts. The script needed to inject a few more techniques to avoid stalling out before the intended climax. Still, you wouldn\u2019t throw this \u201cout of bed.\u201d (I\u2019ll be here every week, kids).<\/p>\n

SIDE BY SIDE<\/a><\/p>\n

(Note: I\u2019m not a filmmaker by any means but found this insanely interesting).<\/em><\/p>\n

This product does everything a documentary is supposed to do. Written and directed by Christopher Kenneally, and produced by Keanu Reeves and Justin Szlasa, this piece explores the transitioning of shooting on traditional film to playing with the new digital toys of today. The who\u2019s who of directing (James Cameron, Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Christopher Nolan, etc.) are candidly interviewed by Reeves as they give their stance on whether or not they are embracing the new way of making cinematic products. When the interviews are not the focus, Reeves narrates the technical aspects of what went into photochemical film processing all while doing a compare and contrast with the modern technology (hundreds of film clips from cinema\u2019s past and present act as a visual aid). Riveting stuff, folks!<\/p>\n

THE TALL MAN<\/a><\/p>\n

In what starts out as your standard (boring) mystery\/thriller; revolving around a local legend that snags little kiddies from a tiny Pacific Northwest town; throws in a well-disguised twist about halfway through. From there though, it starts to lose steam, and the reveal (a.k.a. when all the questions you have from the twist get answered), isn\u2019t really all that satisfying. A reason for the \u201cletdown,\u201d was due to the fact that writer\/director Pascal Laugier was trying to make a political\/societal statement in the second-half of the script. And while a game Jessica Biel moves this gritty tale along, it just doesn\u2019t resonate and you\u2019ll probably never think about this sucker again. <\/p>\n

FATHER\u2019S DAY<\/a><\/p>\n

If the words, \u201cTroma release,\u201d mean anything to you\u2026then you know what you\u2019re getting. Harkening back to cheesy B-movie sci-fi\/horror\/torture-porn flicks from the late \u201870s and \u201880s, all the piss-poor production value is done for aesthetic purposes. Same can be said for the acting and constantly winking storytelling. While it takes a while to get all these gimmicks clicking, the second-half ends up being worth the pain of suffering through the first-half. Tons of blood, boobs, and gay sex, consistently hit the screen between all the intended corny dialogues. At least, they (Troma) know who they are and what they\u2019re going for.<\/p>\n

V\/H\/S<\/a><\/p>\n

If the found-footage genre was told in The Twilight Zone and\/or Tales from the Crypt fashion, this is what you would get people. Essentially, it\u2019s just a creepy montage of short films that touch on every subgenre of the horror realm. It\u2019s disturbing, suspenseful, and bloody horrific despite not having a true storyline. Each respective found-footage story is shot (hand-held) fairly well and some of the special-effects\/CGI is quite clever. The last couple short series are better in so many ways than most studio released horror products in the last decade.<\/p>\n
