Movie Soundtrack Review: Black Sea

Ilan Eshkeri's dark and brooding score goes deep into the human psyche. Review by Matt Cummings Soundtrack music sets the emotional tone of a film, either adding to or taking away the effect which the director is trying to establish. It follows that many times, a good movie can get ruined by a bad score and a decent movie can vbe elevated by a good one. For Kevin Macdonald's Black Sea , Composer Ilan Eshkeri's dark and brooding score elevates the film by complimenting its desperate tone. When the former submarine driver Robinson (Jude Law) loses his job at the company, he signs on with a shadowy investor and to liberate a German U-boat loaded with 4 tons of WWII-era gold. Seeking redemption and a final shot at respectability, Robinson hires a group of tough-minded men for his crew, including the psychotic Fraser (Ben Mendelsohn) and the newbie Tobin (Bobby Schofield). Although Robinson has promised his men an equal cut of the profits, greed and murder are never...

Neighbors 2 is Good to Go

The sequel gets a greenlight at Universal. For those of you who thought 2014 was a terrific year for comedies, get in line. From 22 Jump Street , to Ride Along and the underappreciated Sex Tape , last year was one of the most memorable. Of the most successful and well received was Universal's Neighbors , which starred Seth Rogan and Rose Byrne as post-party people having to deal with a fraternity lead by Zac Efron and Dave Franco. The comedy made over $150m domestically and nearly $270m worldwide. And while it was sure to get a sequel, no one knew quite when. Until today. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Universal has made it official with a May 13. 2016 release date and a promise that both Efforn and Byrne will return with Nicholas Stoller directing once again. The studio was apparently holding that date for another comedy but replaced it with Neighbors 2 . The move makes great financial sense, as the original only cost $18m to make, representing a huge win for...

Lionsgate Admits Mortdecai was a 'Disappointment'

Does the movie's failure point to a deeper problem for Johnny Depp? Story by Matt Cummings First there was Dark Shadows , then The Lone Ranger , then Transcendence . Now, Lionsgate is having to admit another of their Johnny Depp enterprises has fallen on hard times. Speaking to Variety, Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer admitted has asserted that Johnny Depp’s caper comedy Mortdecai will be a “very manageable” loss for the studio despite its terrible box office performance. “It’s clearly a disappointment,” Feltheimer told analysts Friday during a company conference call to discuss earnings for its third quarter which ended on December 31. Mortdecai, which cost $60 million to make, has only generated $7 million since it launched on January 23. Internationally, it's added only $11 million. Although Feltheimer attempted to explain the loss with purely financial facts, the real question on everyone's mind was, "Is Johnny Depp no longer a bankable actor?" ...

Movie Review: Jupiter Ascending

The Science-Fiction epic Jupiter Ascending is mired in interstellar palace politics and well-intentioned but ultimately uninspiring drama. Review by Matt Cummings When the entirety of mankind is one day remembered by people living either in different times, or by aliens that arrive to catalog our achievements, one oddity might occupy their time the most: the way we viewed aliens from other worlds in our media and literature. For a film like Jupiter Ascending , they might further ask the question 'Why we did they bother with such mumbo-jumbo?" And they'd be right. As inconceivably large stretches of the universe manufacture human beings for their later consumption, the royal family known as the Abrasax have ended countless worlds, all to extend their lives. Their genocide has made them profitable and powerful, but in a millennium they have been without their queen, who was murdered by an unknown force. Meanwhile on Earth, the Russian Jupiter Jones (Mila Kun...
