Todd Field fits into the category of being an “actor’s director”. An actor’s director allows their performers to come up with their own characterizations and allows them to make suggestions to the story. Field made his directorial debut in 2001 with In the Bedroom, which earned him high status as a hot new director to keep an eye on. Despite winning numerous accolades and truly making a name for himself, Field was seemingly missing in action after the release of 2006’s Little Children, and while he was attached to a number of projects during that time, he has only recently had a career resurgence....

A longstanding vestige since the old days of Hollywood — harkening back to the 1930s with Frank Capra comedies — the fish out of water movie has long been a reliable storytelling device for studios to produce. It’s a reliable foible to exploit when taking a character and putting them in a circumstance they should never be in or a place they don’t belong. Devices like time travel (Back to the Future), aging backward or forwards (Big) and even taking a detective and putting them in an unfamiliar setting (In the Heat of the Night) are all modes of the same kind of movie....

2007 was a year for the ages. Many of the films to come out were not only rewarded at the most prestigious ceremony — the Academy Awards — but they also found box office success. Films like There Will Be Blood, Michael Clayton, and No Country For Old Men were a lens to look at the machinations of capitalism, criminality, and even had nihilistic virtues. But audiences went in droves to see them....

Movies are a cultural viewfinder, filled with snapshots of who people are, what they believe and want, and who they strive to be. A motion picture can condense heady subjects into a couple of hours and pique curiosity long after the credits roll. Going to the movies is both a pastime and event, a shared leisure, escape, and engagement. The ability to experience multiple experiences is the luxury of cinema. Films move audiences to take action, laugh, cry, think, and be endlessly entertained....

Historically, movies based on video games have been notoriously poorly received. In fact, regardless of the genre, Hollywood has just seemed to be unable to get it right. Whether it was the schlocky 90s beat ’em ups (Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat), shoot ’em up misfires (Doom), or poorly paced racing flicks (Need for Speed), almost nothing worked. Even a movie based on the world’s most beloved Italian plumbing siblings, The Super Mario Bros....
