Downtown Cinema (with Malone) Reviews ASTRONAUT: THE LAST PUSH (DVD Review)

October 12th, 2013

Malone

“ASTRONAUT: THE LAST PUSH” AVAILABLE NOW ON DVD FROM VISION FILMS

With “Gravity” pulling everybody into theaters over the last few weeks, it looks like space movies are making a comeback. I mean, what better setting for a high-tension drama than an infinite void that could suffocate or crush you at a moment’s notice. Space is one bad motha and since we don’t know all that much about it, that makes it even more intimidating. In “Astronaut: The Last Push”, available now on DVD from Vision Films, we join a crew of two looking to explore the vast unknown… and naturally things don’t go as planned.

The Snow Queen a Child’s Story of Bravery (Film Review)

October 10th, 2013

John Delia

Animation has really improved in the independently made films over the years and especially for children. The characters in the G and PG adventure films have become more likeable and in some cases a bit sillier providing the perfect combination to keep your child entertained for an hour or so. Even the sinister characters are interestingly not so scary, but are still menacing enough not to bore the little tykes.

MARVEL’S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Ep. 3: The Asset (T.V. Review)

October 9th, 2013

Steven D'Arcangelo

As season one progresses, Marvel Studios’ first foray into live-action T.V. is beginning to show its strengths and weaknesses, both of which are on display in last night’s episode. The plot rotates around a kidnapped S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist whose contribution to the Periodic Table of Elements is a theoretical particle that controls gravity fields and is thus named (ready for this?) Gravitonium. Seriously.

Not since Feminum – the metal alloy of which Linda Carter’s Wonder Woman bracelets were forged from — has a television adaptation of a comic book come up with a more on-the-nose name. What happens when these screenwriters talk shop at Comic-Con? Do they try to one-up each other in terms of talking down to the audience? Perhaps it’s like this:

S.H.I.E.L.D. WRITER: “I named a gravity-controlling element Gravitonium. You know, because it controls gravity. I first thought of Gravinite, but that wasn’t obvious enough.”

WONDER WOMAN WRITER: “Not bad, kid, but not as obvious as me. I named a metal Feminum, on account of Wonder Woman being both feminine and a feminist.”

GEORGE LUCAS: “I got you both beat. All Greedo cares about is money, therefore he’s greedy. Hence the name Greedo. And in case you don’t get that, I also made him green like money.”

The other writers gaze in awe at Lucas.

WONDER WOMAN WRITER: “I’m green with envy.”

S.H.I.E.L.D. WRITER: “Ditto.”

End sarcasm. Begin review.
