Tim Basaraba – Video game movies… Ugh. Am I right? With terrible films like Sonic (2020), Warcraft (2016) and even Prince of Persia (2010) — all of which were financial successes (thanks, primarily, to non-domestic film goers) — films based on video game IP ain’t goin’ nowhere.
Tim Basaraba – Screening Anita at AMC Pacific Place did not prepare me for the festival hijinks I would encounter at the world premiere of Warm Blood on April 22 during this year’s Seattle International Film Festival. Uptown Cinema and its rickety seats felt appropriate for the independent flair of Rick Charnoski’s first feature length film and all its messy glory.
Tim Basaraba – Who knew that “Girl at Swimming Pool #2” in a 2001 episode of The Sopranos (TV Series) would go on to become not only a pop icon but an accomplished actor as well? I didn’t, and, if you say you did, you’re either lying or you’re her mother.
Tim Basaraba – Are you ready for framed symmetry and an impressive ensemble delivering quick, cerebral dialogue? I certainly hope so, because Wes Anderson’s tenth film The French Dispatch is now available for streaming on HBO Max.
Tim Basaraba – Don’t expect Robo Cop (1987) or Showgirls (1995) when you dial up Paul Verhoeven’s most recent flick on Hulu. In fact, forget that he directed Total Recall (1990), Basic Instinct (1992) and Starship Troopers (1997). The director’s latest, Benedetta, is the ultimate amalgamation of the aforementioned films.
