The latest Blu-ray movie review: Evilspeak

Shout Factory | 1981 | 97 min | Unrated | May 13, 2014 (New Release)
Video
Codec: MPEG-4 AVC
Resolution: 1080p
Aspect ratio: 1.78:1
Original aspect ratio: 1.85:1

Audio: English: DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 (48kHz, 24-bit)

Subtitles: English

Some wise man once informed humanity that the meek shall inherit the earth, but certain mild, unaggressive types aren't content to merely wait for their legacy to be handed them and instead decide to opt for a little help. Lots of people through the years have compared the 1981 horror opus Evilspeak to Carrie, pointing out the similarities in a bullied loner who finally strikes back with a little supernatural aid. Carrie had the benefit of some roiling family dysfunction underpinning its tale, and its setting in a high school rife with cliques and boorish behavior made it instantly accessible to many people, even if they had never been drenched in pig's blood. Pigs actually show up inEvilspeak, too, but here the formulation of the mild mannered little sad sack rising up to take his revenge has little of Carrie's impact since it's divorced from a commonplace setting and perhaps even more importantly from any sort of larger background with regard to its main character, one Stanley Coopersmith (Clint Howard), a picked on young man at a military academy. When Stanley stumbles on an old cache of Satanic materials in a kind of cavern like cellar at the institution, suddenly there seems to be a potential route forward for the afflicted kid. Evilspeak is in fact a fairly basic revenge saga?...

Best Way to Backup DVD The Art of the steal for Repeatedly Watching

 
The Art Of The Steal Movie Synopsis: 

Retired motorcycle daredevil/art thief Crunch Calhoun (Kurt Russell), more famous for his crash landings than his death-defying leaps, considers himself something of a master thief, but he winds up in prison when he's double-crossed by his brother and partner-in-crime Nicky (Matt Dillon).
After serving his sentence, Crunch is tempted to complete one last heist to make some money by stealing one of the most valuable books in the world. He reluctantly reunites with Nicky, and reassembles their old crew. With a painstaking plan in place, can the Calhoun brothers pull off the job and hold on to their tenuous truce?

Movie review: ‘Dorothy’s Return’ to Oz is 2nd rate

Transported back to Oz by a magical rainbow, Dorothy (Lea Michele) and Toto head for the Emerald City and again gather new friends.

In the 75 years since “The Wizard of Oz” debuted, its sequels, prequels and spinoffs have struggled to carry on the film’s legacy.

A year after Sam Raimi’s mediocre “Oz the Great and Powerful,” the streak continues with “Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return,” an average, likable enough tale hampered by second- (or even third-) rate animation that borders on creepy.

Set many years after the Wicked Witch of the West’s demise yet merely the next morning in Kansas time, the film’s impetus involves the Scarecrow (voiced by Dan Aykroyd), Tin Man (Kelsey Grammer) and Lion (James Belushi) held captive by the ambiguously evil Jester (Martin Short).

Transported back to Oz by a magical rainbow, Dorothy (Lea Michele) and Toto head for the Emerald City and again gather new friends, this time to save their old ones.

Composing the chemistry-rich B Squad are an obese owl (Oliver Platt), a marshmallow soldier (Hugh Dancy), a china doll princess (Megan Hilty) and a repurposed tree that looks like the StubHub Ticket Oak with bad teeth (Patrick Stewart).

When so moved, they belt out ballads ranging from lackluster (Bryan Adams and Jim Dooley’s contributions) to Disney Princess quality (Tift Merritt’s “Even Then”), though the odds of any reaching “Let It Go” status are blessedly low.

While never boring, with the exception of an inspired candy courtroom scene with a Circus Peanut gallery and a jury of one’s Peeps, the film’s humor is limited to the Jester’s manic dialogue, little of which elicits a giggle.

Mostly, “Legends of Oz” is one more outing with familiar characters that neither adds to nor tarnishes the land’s good name.

Until a worthy successor arrives, it’s best to stick with the original.

Grade: C. Rated PG. Playing at the Beaucatcher, Biltmore Grande and Carolina Asheville.

Making a Personal Movie:'Chef,' movie review

If you’ve ever struggled to find a balance between nurturing a career and making time for friends and family, Jon Favreau’s latest should hit home.  He leads Chef as Carl Casper, a successful chef whose career is decimated by one abysmal review.  In an effort to regain some stability while also giving himself the freedom to take risks with his craft, Carl leaves the Los Angeles restaurant scene behind to run a food truck featuring his own, unique menu.  For more on the film, here’s my review.

A movie like “Chef” begs for a smorgasbord of puns, so let’s get those out of the way: This undercooked but still flavorful comedy may not have much meat to it, but the small side dishes can be a meal in themselves.

Jon Favreau steps away from helming blockbusters such as “Iron Man” to write, direct and star in this congenial fable. Carl Casper (Favreau) is a one-time culinary wunderkind who’s now middle-aged, with a wide midriff and middling reputation. His loyal staff includes efficient hostess Molly (Scarlett Johansson in a cameo) and chatty sous chefs Martin (John Leguizamo) and Tony (Bobby Cannavale). 

When the restaurant gets a visit from an influential food critic, Carl wants to prepare something extraordinary, but the restaurant’s owner (Dustin Hoffman) orders Carl to do nothing special. The result: A scathing review, a Twitter war of words between Carl and the critic — and a chef without a job.

  

Trying to land on his feet, Carl, his ex-wife Inez (flighty but pleasant Sofia Vergara) and their 10-year-old son Percy (Emjay Anthony, quite the pro) go to Miami, where Inez’ slick first husband (Robert Downey Jr.) donates a rickety food truck. Carl and Co. give it a fresh paint job and drive it from Miami to L.A., selling Cuban sandwiches like hot cakes all the way. By the time they get to California, Carl’s got his groove back.

Favreau has always been a cool, amiable presence, all the way back to “Swingers” (1996) and his mini-gem feature directorial debut, “Made” (2001). His Queens-kid persona is impossible not to like. Scenes of Favreau at the grill bantering with Leguizamo and Cannavale could almost sustain an entire movie.
  
It does for a while. The moments when Carl connects with his kid click, too. But there’s a whole patch of “Chef” that feels wayward, as if Favreau has gotten so accustomed to Big Studio demands to cut details and get to the next explosion that he decided to stretch out every single small moment in “Chef.”

The good news is that his slow simmer approach here never puts us off for too long as the camaraderie between he and his cast gives “Chef” its mild yet tasty spice.
