The Promise stuns us with its horrors, but bores us with its love triangle. Review by Matt Cummings With the world seemingly ready to fight another global campaign of death, The Promise comes along to remind us why war is so terrible. Its arrival this week shows us the personal cost of war, complete with all the horrors of genocide and the terrible atrocities which men are capable of producing. The Armenian Mikael Boghosian (Oscar Isaac) is a kind and gentle man who yearns to learn medicine at a school in Constantinople so that he can help his small village improve their quality of life. He enters into an arranged marriage to pay his board fees, then hurriedly whisks off to the capital city. There, he comes under the care of his well-to-do uncle and begins immediately to flourish. He meets the stunning dancer Ana (Charlotte Le Bon), whose fanciful air is immediately appealing to the lonely Mikael. But WWI is fast approaching, and soon Mikael, Ana, and all of Turkey w

Anthropoid is both a great character drama and a violent, bloody siege film. Review by Matt Cummings Among the chief complaints I have about Hollywood is their desire to modify a historical tale to make it either more pleasing or more dramatic. Adding new characters, or even changing the ending is like telling us the sky is really red or that Captain Kirk wears a blue shirt. Luckily, Director Sean Ellis's drama Anthropoid falls into none of the pitfalls of other Hollywood demands, turning in at once a great character drama and a terse action siege pic. As the shadow of WWII sweeps over Europe, resistance cells throughout the continent struggle to keep Hitler's armies at bay. For agents Kubis (Cillain Murphy) and Gabcik (Jamie Dornan), the war has taken on new importance: they've been sent back to their home of Czechoslovakia to assassinate none other than SS General Reinhard Heydrich, the architect behind the Final Solution. The job will be difficult, esp

Wanna win a shirt from the Hit film THE WALK ? Twelve people have walked on the moon, but only one man - Philippe Petit ( Joseph Gordon-Levitt ) - has ever, or will ever, walk in the immense void between the World Trade Center towers. Guided by his real-life mentor, Papa Rudy ( Ben Kingsley ), and aided by an unlikely band of international recruits, Petit and his gang overcome long odds, betrayals, dissension and countless close calls to conceive and execute their mad plan. Robert Zemeckis, the director of such marvels as Forrest Gump, Cast Away, Back to the Future, Polar Express and Flight, again uses cutting edge technology in the service of an emotional, character-driven story. With innovative photo realistic techniques and IMAX 3D ® wizardry, The Walk is true big-screen cinema, a chance for moviegoers to viscerally experience the feeling of reaching the clouds. The film is a love letter to Paris and New York City in the 1970s, but most of all, to the Towers of the World Trade

The real life trip across The Twin Towers is only exciting at the end. Review by Matt Cummings The events of 9/11 are still fresh in my mind, as if my vacation-turned-nightmare to New York that week happened only recently. Perhaps it's my connection as my birthplace that keeps me anchored there, but to know it captured the imagination of so many is the only consolation I can take. Perhaps the most stunning of those was Phillipe's Petit's high-wire antics across the buildings in 1974, which is now the subject of a major motion picture. And while The Walk looks good on IMAX, its small and frustrating story derails the experience. When the French high-wire performer Phillipe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) learns that the massive World Trade Center Towers are about to become the world's tallest structure, he heads to New York City to cross them before they are completed. He takes the girlfriend Annie (Charlotte Le Bon) with him, seeking insight from an aging
