Leone approached the genre with great love and humor. Although the plot was admittedly borrowed from Akira Kurosawas Yojimbo 1. Leone managed to create a work of his own that would serve as a model for many films to come. The story of an unlikely friendship between a bear, Ernest, and a young mouse named Celestine. The Great Beauty No rating, 222, in Italian This deliriously alive movie from the Italian director Paolo Sorrentino tells the story of a man. The Tomatometer rating based on the published opinions of hundreds of film and television critics is a trusted measurement of movie and TV. Clint Eastwood plays a cynical gunfighter who comes to a small border town and offers his services to two rivaling gangs. Neither gang is aware of his double play, and each thinks it is using him, but the stranger will outwit them both. The picture was the first installment in a cycle commonly known as the Dollars trilogy. Later, United Artists, who distributed it in the U. S., coined another term for it the Man With No Name trilogy. While not as impressive as its follow ups For a Few Dollars More 1. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly 1. A Fistful of Dollars contains all of Leones eventual trademarks taciturn characters, precise framing, extreme close ups, and the haunting music of Ennio Morricone. Not released in the U. S. until 1. 96. 7 due to copyright problems, the film was decisive in both Clint Eastwoods career and the recognition of the Italian western. Yuri German, Rovi. Summary A wandering gunfighter plays two rival families against each other in a town torn apart by greed, pride, and revenge. Movie Listings for March 2. April 3Bethlehem No rating, 1 3. This tightly wound thriller is a story of attraction and repulsion evocative of Cain and Abel. It pivots on intimate antagonists who, in another world and geopolitical time, might have been brothers Razi Tsahi Halevy is an Israeli operative working in an antiterrorism unit Sanfur Shadi Mari is a 1. Palestinian whose older brother, Ibrahim Hisham Suliman, is on the most wanted list. The Israeli director, Yuval Adler, who wrote the movie with Ali Waked, an Arab journalist, has a gift for genre and an underlying fatalism. Dargis Big Men No rating, 1 3. Unfurling a complicated story teeming with masked militants, well fed politicians, reassuring suits and the desperate poor, Rachel Boyntons astonishing documentary about the 2. Ghana is as remarkable for its access as for its refusal to judge. Jeannette CatsoulisBrothers Hypnotic No rating, 1 2. Mr. Atlass relaxed documentary tracks the proudly independent Hypnotic Brass Ensemble and the long shadow cast by the Chicago trumpeter Kelan Phil Cohran, father to seven of the groups eight members. Their fearless streak deserves its equivalent in bolder filmmaking, but the brotherly ensemble and their upbringing hold a certain fascination. Nicolas RapoldDallas Buyers Club R, 2 0. Skinny and fierce, Matthew Mc. Conaughey brings terrific energy to the role of Ron Woodroof, a Texan who receives a diagnosis of H. I. V. in the mid 1. The film, directed by Jean Marc Valle, chronicles Rons transformation from a homophobic hedonist into a medical crusader, bringing experimental and at the time unapproved drugs to desperate patients. It is an inspiring story, but the movie, Mr. Mc. Conaugheys performance notwithstanding, is too predictable and conventional to do justice to its political and social dimensions. ScottDark House R, 1 4. Grabbing off the rack ideas the creepy crumbly mansion in the woods the troubled young man with the weird psychic power and stuffing them into a plot of resounding silliness, the director Victor Salva stages a showdown thats both biblical and bonkers. CatsoulisDivergent PG 1. With this film adaptation of Veronica Roths hugely popular dystopian tale, the latest gutsy teenage heroine has arrived at American movie theaters. As Tris Prior, Shailene Woodley conveys a sense of genuine, deep tissue sincerity, and its not hard to root for her, but shes ill served by a production in which the director, Neil Burger, gives you little to hang onto beauty, thrills, a visual style. Dargis Elaine Stritch Shoot Me No rating, 1 2. This late life portrait of the great Broadway and cabaret entertainer, now 8. X ray of an indefatigable woman who is described as a Molotov cocktail of madness, sanity and genius. Stephen HoldenEnemy R, 1 3. Jake Gyllenhaal plays a Canadian professor whose glum, routinized life is turned upside down when he discovers that he has a double, an amoral actor also played by Mr. Gyllenhaal. Adapting a novella by the Portuguese Nobel laureate Jos Saramago, Denis Villeneuve Incendies, Prisoners has made an enjoyable creepy psychological thriller that is perhaps not as profound as it dreams of being. Download American Legends Cartoon Hq. Scott Ernest Celestine PG, 1 2. French or English A tale of mice and bears, derring do and dentistry, this lovely animated movie about would be foes who become friends originated in a cycle of childrens books by the Belgian writer and artist Gabrielle Vincent. The books have simple stories and enchanting illustrations by Vincent that are characterized by graceful lines, muted colors and blurred edges, which focuses your attention on animals that, in their poignant delicacy, evoke Beatrix Potter. The screen character designs are broader and more overtly comic, but the three directors Benjamin Renner, Vincent Patar and Stphane Aubier have retained enough of Vincents charming vision that the movie feels intimate and personal, as if it, too, had sprung from a single hand. DargisExposed No rating, 1 1. Dancing on the wilder shores of burlesque, from Manhattan clubs to the Coney Island boardwalk, the eight performers profiled in Beth Bs joyfully explicit documentary blend politics, gender and sexuality into candid portraits of the person beneath the exhibition. CatsoulisThe Face of Love PG 1. Annette Bening plays a widow who meets a man whos a double for her dead husband, which only becomes interesting because both roles are played by Ed Harris. The director Arie Posin, working from his and Matthew Mc. Duffies script, doesnt do much with this fuzzy material but Ms. Bening makes her character come satisfyingly alive. She and Mr. Harris easily hold the movie together, but theres no doubt that Ms. Bening could also prop it up all by herself. DargisFrom Both Sides of the Aegean No rating, 1 2. This documentary by Maria Iliou revisits the forced ouster of Orthodox Greeks from Turkey and Muslim Turks from Greece in the 1. Though the film explores a fascinating subject, the storytelling style is dry, static and even convoluted. Bale Frozen PG, 1 4. A beautiful princess with magical powers that she cant control an adorable snowman with buck teeth and a carrot for a nose who longs to sunbathe because no one ever told him that heat melts ice a picture perfect prince who is not what he appears to be these are among the unconventional characters in the new Disney 3 D animated movie musical very loosely based on Hans Christian Andersens The Snow Queen. Holden The Grand Budapest Hotel R, 1 3. Wes Andersons latest film is whimsical, fussy and ingenious a Wes Anderson film, in other words but it is also a sly and touching engagement with some of the ugliest parts of 2. European history. Ralph Fiennes plays a hotel concierge in the fictional Central European republic of Zubrowka in the fateful year of 1. The frames are beautifully composed, the production design exquisite and a large cast is dispatched on a complex caper. But all the fun is shadowed by and is a brilliant protest against some very cruel realities. Scott Gravity PG 1. Alfonso Cuarns gripping, spectacular film about astronauts in peril is less a science fiction story than a lean and simple tale of the struggle to survive. Sandra Bullock and George Clooney are the space travelers orbiting the Earth, but the real star is Mr. Cuarns breathtaking sense of scale and movement. He also grounds his technical bravura in a friendly, low key humanism, and the result is a movie that is at once cosmic and intimate. Scott The Great Beauty No rating, 2 2. Italian This deliriously alive movie from the Italian director Paolo Sorrentino tells the story of a man, a city, a country and a cinema, though not necessarily in that order. Set in Rome, it follows Jep a sybarite played with a veneer of wit and fathomless soul by the great actor Toni Servillo, who dances into the story while celebrating his 6. A must see. Dargis Her R, 2 0. At once a brilliant conceptual gag and a deeply sincere romance, Spike Jonzes exquisite new movie is an unlikely yet completely plausible love story set in the near future about a man a wonderful Joaquin Phoenix, who sometimes resembles a machine, and an operating system voiced by Scarlett Johansson, who very much suggests a living woman. From Mr. Phoenixs wide open face to the diffused lighting and ravishingly lovely sherbet palette, this is a movie you want to reach out and caress, about a man who, like everyone else around him in this near future, has retreated from other people into a machine world. In Her, the great question isnt whether machines can think, but whether human beings can still feel. Dargis Honey Miele No rating, 1 3.
