It is an amalgamation of many forms, in one respect an action feature and in another a thriller. Throw in a little bit of romance and maybe even a dash of noir and you have yet to scratch the surface. Above all, though, it conveys a deeply embedded belief that with trial and perseverance, redemption is a powerful deterrent to desperation and sadness.]]> http://www.theparallaxreview.com/on_cable/the_verdict.html http://www.theparallaxreview.com/on_cable/the_verdict.html On Cable Fri, 04 Feb 2011 18:00:00 -0600 http://www.theparallaxreview.com/on_cable/the_quick_and_the_dead.html http://www.theparallaxreview.com/on_cable/the_quick_and_the_dead.html On Cable Fri, 04 Feb 2011 00:00:00 -0600 Sleeping with the Enemy is by no means a good movie, but that doesn’t mean it’s unwatchable. It begins promisingly enough, but then it rapidly heads for the hills that call themselves mundane. Simply put, I was kind of bored during this film, but I never found myself looking at the time. I was too busy rolling my eyes.]]> http://www.theparallaxreview.com/on_cable/sleeping_with_the_enemy.html http://www.theparallaxreview.com/on_cable/sleeping_with_the_enemy.html On Cable Fri, 28 Jan 2011 00:00:00 -0600 The film was made in 1968 but it shows no signs of aging. The story is often told in split screen, or better yet, multi-screen. Often, we as an audience get to witness a scene or a sequence of scenes from two to six points of view, so I truly mean it when I say if you look away you might miss something. http://www.theparallaxreview.com/on_cable/the_boston_strangler.html http://www.theparallaxreview.com/on_cable/the_boston_strangler.html On Cable Fri, 28 Jan 2011 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.theparallaxreview.com/best-of_lists/best-of_2010_kyle_kogan.html http://www.theparallaxreview.com/best-of_lists/best-of_2010_kyle_kogan.html Best-Of Lists Fri, 28 Jan 2011 00:00:00 -0600 Summer Rental is a John Candy film. Do I really need to write more? It’s as if this man was created for the hypothetical “Visual Dictionary” and next to the words “Affable, Gargantuan, Lovable, Clumsy, Innocuous, and Clueless” was a picture of Candy, clad in distasteful clothing, smiling with a pair of thumbs to frame his face.]]> http://www.theparallaxreview.com/on_cable/summer_rental.html http://www.theparallaxreview.com/on_cable/summer_rental.html On Cable Fri, 21 Jan 2011 21:00:00 -0600 A Wedding is tricky.
