Movie Review for Project X








Project X is the latest effort from Hangover director Todd Phillips. It’s a rowdy, over the top comedy about a group of high school friends who set out to “change the game” by having the ultimate house party for their friends 17th birthday party. The movie centers on three high school “geeks” who are trying to come up in the world. Thomas Kub (Thomas Mann) is the birthday boy whose parents leave “home alone”, Costa (Oliver Cooper) is the “Hugh Hefner wanna be” who’s in charge of the party plans and JB (Jonathan Daniel Brown) is the fat, but lovable, friend who’s just along for the ride.

I couldn't help but notice a few of my colleagues in the press screening who were seemingly disgusted with the actions of the teens on the big screen. (I’m predicting a lot of negative reviews from the mainstream press.) I don’t know about you, but I go to the movies to escape reality for a couple of hours. I would never condone the actions of this group of high school aged kids drinking, drugging and swimming naked in the backyard pool. But, suspending reality for the short period of the movie, it was a crazy good time. I’m not suggesting kids should behave like this. I’m just saying I had a good time watching this apocalyptic party unfold before my eyes. Now, if these were MY kids…oh, this would be an entirely different story!

The party starts out with invitations going around to kids by texts to being broadcast on the radio and finally people start arriving after seeing the party advertised on Craig’s List. It is an out of control good time. Topless girls swimming, kids playing drinking games and, just for good measure, a “little person” getting stuffed into the oven is all part of the mayhem that passes for a “party”!

Project X is not a movie for anyone with mild sensibilities. If you are that person who gets offended when an off color joke is told in the office; Project X is not for you. But, if you are the kind of person who posts that same joke on Facebook, this is your movie! It’s rated “R” for nudity, drinking, harsh language, and drug use hope you enjoy it.

Cinematic Discussion: What Makes a Great Female Role Model?

Note : As this cinematic discussion is meant for contemporary audiences, these examples will be equally contemporary. Just as women and men are different, we've all evolved with the times. And one's role model, for the most part, often represents one's contemporary outlook for their future self. Believe it or not, a man can discuss and write about issues of feminism. While some may be woefully ignorant or just banefully uninterested, take notice, guys, you shouldn't be. And not all of us are — completely, anyway. So, with that in mind, there's one particular issue of feminism, of the representation of females, that I want to discuss at the moment: What makes a great female role model? (Of course, as localized to the medium of film.) What are the elements of a female character that should be most sought after by writers hoping to create strong, relatable, fleshed-out characters? What makes the characters who imbue those elements great role models? And what are some...

Where the wild thing are interview.

This may only be his third feature film, but I still think it’s appropriate to call Spike Jonze a visionary filmmaker. His work, both on the big screen and on the small screen (all of his music videos), is some of the most honest, creative, and unique I’ve ever seen. A few weeks back, after seeing Spike’s Where the WIld Things Are, I went to the Beverly Hilton Hotel to interview Mr. Jonze, and he invited me into bed. I’m not even joking - Spike and I got into bed together (not under the covers, of course!) to talk about bringing Maurice Sendak’s beloved children’s book to life on the big screen exactly the way he first envisioned it. I wish I had a photo, or video, to prove that we did this in bed, but I don’t. Spike had been tired from doing press all day and needed to rest, so since we were in a hotel room, he invited me to do the interview in bed. Sure it was a little bit awkward and very intimate, but I felt that was able to talk with Spike in a way that I don’t think most people a...
