basically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley’s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . …

" the ballad of narayama " is a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens…

roger ebert ' s speech on empathy for the " 11th hour " series on april 9th , 1994 , being republished here in honor of his birthday june 18 .

roger ebert was born on this day in 1942 , and died a little over five years ago . i owe a good part of my success…

a look back at robert zemeckis ' half - animated classic , who framed roger rabbit , on its 30 - year anniversary .

an interview with writer / director boots riley about his incendiary new film , " sorry to bother you . "

see if you agree with me on this . it is not funny when people in a movie walk around being dumb and making stupid mistakes , unless the people are named curly , moe and larry . if the characters are allegedly people of normal intelligence , their stupidity isn ' t funny , it ' s exhausting - and " one woman or two " is the most exhausting movie in many a moon .

the movie is about a french anthropologist who hopes to get a large research grant from a rich american woman . he does not know what she looks like . he goes to meet her plane , and through a comedy of errors he ends up connecting with sigourney weaver instead of dr . ruth westheimer . that could happen to anybody . what is amazing is that he persists in his misunderstanding for half of the movie .

there is , of course , a lame - brained plot to explain why weaver wants to be mistaken for somebody else . there is also a reason why " dr . wooth " missed her plane . and a subplot about the controversy over the scientist ' s belief that the first frenchman actually was a black woman .

add it all up , and what you ' ve got here is a waste of good electricity . i ' m not talking about the electricity between the actors . i ' m talking about the current to the projector .

the scientist is played by gerard depardieu , everybody ' s favorite french slob , who shuffles through the movie looking more sheepish than usual . he is provided with one of the most hapless characters of his career - a scientist so lacking in perception that he ignores literally dozens of opportunities to discover that the woman he is looking for is not an american amazon but a little german choo - choo . once dr . ruth arrives , she is equally lax in determining that weaver has been mistaken for her . the light dawns so slowly that this is one of those movies you wish were on video , so you could watch it at fast - forward .

is there any redeeming facet to this movie ? anything at all that makes it worth seeing ? maybe some nice scenery , or a small , funny moment , or a flash of charm . let me think . i ' m sitting here . i ' m thinking . i ' m looking at the list of cast members , to see if anything jogs my memory . nothing . tell you what . i ' m going to turn off my portable computer and close my eyes and meditate , and if anything at all occurs to me , then this will not be the last sentence of the review .

released locally on march 14 as anna to yuki no jou ( anna and the snow queen ) , the title of the hans christian andersen story on which the animated film is loosely based , it topped japan ' s box office for 16 straight weeks , until the beginning of july . it has remained in theaters , taking a total of $ 248 million ( ￥25 . 2 billion ) to become the third - highest grossing film in japan behind titanic and hayao miyazaki ' s spirited away .

" hit & run , " meanwhile , is the fourth release from open road films , the independent distributor jointly owned by theater chains amc entertainment and regal entertainment . the $ 2 - million movie was acquired by open road , which has spent at least $ 20 million to aggressively market it . open road ' s biggest box office success has been " the grey , " a thriller starring liam neeson that took in more than $ 50 million at the domestic box office .

could have been a great movie . it was good but not great . at one point the main character gets hit in the face by another character by a golf club . it was gross and ugly . and yet the rest of the movie the guy that got hit seems basically fine . overly violent at times . funny and witty at times . completely awful at times . . it could have been a gray movie had they have not gotten so silly and so violent . all that said worth renting or borrowing but do not waste money you will definitely only want to watch once . not worth watching twice .

ari no mama de , which translates roughly as " just as it is " and is the japanese rendition of the let it go phrase , worked exceptionally well , and the independent - girl - power theme was a part of the film ' s appeal in a conformist society that is beginning to deal with ingrained chauvinism . disney ' s marketing in japan originally targeted young women and girls with the somewhat unconventional dual - female lead characters and the film ' s musical - like qualities . spreading from that core audience , frozen began to attract a wide age range , getting occasional cinemagoers into theaters , and a large number of repeaters .

in the most important respects , though , hit and run makes its lovers - on - the - lam premise its own . shepard is as likable as ever , believably pairing gentleness with outlaw savvy ; bell doesn ' t take annie ' s indignation at charlie ' s past so far that we hold it against her . beau bridges as charlie ' s estranged dad is a standout in the supporting cast , requiring just a few minutes of screen time to lend some emotional depth to the hero ' s backstory .

betsey wright , chief of staff : i mean , it just became clear that night it was not the time for him to do it . it just was not the time . he felt for quite a while that , that probably was the last real chance he would ever have to run for president . that was it , it was over . you know , where would he go now that he wasn ' t gonna run for president ? what could he do in the future ? i think that over the next few months that became a tough time for them .

amazing movie with a beautiful underlying context . with the little i know about dax shepard , i know he had some substance abuse problems in the past and i love that this movie was sort of a love letter to kristen , saying that that was his past , and his past isn ' t who he is now . it ' s very subtle , but this movie really hit me in the heart .
