A Tales of Two Sisters is an Edgar Allan Poe ghost story as Ingmar Bergman might have told it. Or less charitably, it seems the work of a precocious teenager who manages to fill it chock full of frightening images –ghostly apparitions and life-like nightmares that spew you awake in a heart pounding sweat—but isn’t particularly mindful about sewing it all together with a cord of logic.
The mega-opening of Marvel’s The Avengers blasts down on us like an early heat wave, ushering in summer hyper thrills even if the calendar disagrees. And what a package of men in tights, spangles, “their mother’s drapes” and retro Black Sabbath t-shirts they are, even if more than half of their energies and egos are directed at their own dysfunctional family of superheroes instead of the emerald robed Loki intent on taking over the world.
The camera sweeps from Calcutta to Cambridge, resonating with Indian warmth and shy humor, but jolts of fate, and the determined quest for identity, independence and love are universal.
Six years ago the public spoke – to the tune of its one hundred million dollar opening – and they were tired of all the hand wringing that had come out of Hollywood recently. Ready to abandon the politically correct balderdash and finally go after the bad guys, guns blazing – or that is rockets, flamethrowers, and small nuclear devices to be more precise. Iron Man soars into the box office not only saving the residents of planet earth but the movie going public as well.
It may be spring, but the cinematic landscape is still not in full bloom. Why not liven things up with this timeless classic featuring some of Hollywood’s biggest names from the 1930’s? Not one, but two Barrymores, and each of them in fine form.
