Readers’ Recommendations: “City of God”

city_of_godHey everyone, it’s Friday, time for another entry in the Reader Recommendations series!

The Reader Recommendation series is intended to help me formally pursue all the great films that commenters bring up each week in discussion which I’ve never seen. If there’s a movie that comes up that I haven’t seen, but you think I should, email me @ fogsmoviereviews@gmail.com or let me know in the comments that you’d like to participate!
.
Mark WalkerThis time up, our recommendation comes from Mark Walker of Marked Movies. He’s recommended the 2002 Brazilian film “City of God”. “City of God” is a highly acclaimed film that I’ve heard a lot about, but haven’t had a chance to see yet, so I’m excited to check out this recommendation!

Now You See Me

now_you_see_me

Four magicians are assembled by a mysterious benefactor in order to pull of high stakes crimes using their skills of deception and illusion.

Unfortunately, the filmmakers aren’t as good at movie magic. “Now You See Me” is entertaining, but wouldn’t withstand the slightest scrutiny.

Off to Philadelphia Comic-Con!

Wizard World Philadelphia Comic ConHey everyone. Just a quick note to let everyone know that I’m off to Wizard World’s Philadelphia Comic Con this weekend, so our regularly scheduled content here will be on hold for the weekend. I’ll have my reviews of “After Earth” and “Now You See Me” up starting Tuesday.

This is my first time to this event, so I’m not sure what I’ll be sharing, if anything. At this point, I’m ready to say see you all when I get back, but if the convention is really great, maybe I’ll do a post or two about it if I have time.

Anyways, thank you for your understanding this weekend, and we’ll get everything back on track next week!

Under the Radar?: “Compliance”

Compliance_2

A frustrated fast food restaurant manager receives a call from the police regarding one of her young employees. She’s informed that the young girl has stolen from a customer earlier that day, and that the theft was witnessed by a surveillance team. Acquiescing to the police officer’s requests, the manager takes the girl into a back office, and eventually is talked into strip searching her.

Only, the caller isn’t a cop.

It might sound far-fetched, but the movie is based not only on an actual event, but an actual event within a rash of national events that took place over the course of a decade.

Tossin’ It Out There: Who do YOU think is the most annoying Movie Character?

ws_Jar_Jar_Binks_1280x800Everyone has had this experience. You’re enjoying a movie, but there’s that one character that drives you nuts. Even in movies you don’t like that much there can be characters that annoy more than others! Whatever kind of experience you’re having with the film, that one character just gets under your skin!

When a character is widely reviled such as Jar Jar Binks and “Jill” from “Jack and Jill”, they often take on a life of their own beyond the film, with pop culture carrying the spite for them personally long after the movie fades.

Which character will you pick? Who annoys you?

Can we get some love hate for Mutt from “Crystal Skull”? Will anyone bring up Stiffler? How about someone from a classic movie, such as Mickey Rooney’s Mr Yunioshi from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”? Maybe something current like “The Hangover”‘s Chow or Alan? Does anyone remember Sofia Coppola’s Mary Corleone?

These are the characters you just want to punch. Who will you choose? Which characters drive you crazy?

Let’s hear it! Who are YOUR most annoying Movie Characters?
