Justified Season 3 Finale Review: Just Another Man In A Hat

11 April 2012 6:45 AM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »

There are season finales, and there are Justified season finales, and “Slaughterhouse” brought not just the season to a new high, but the entire series. There was not a single line or character wasted. We’ve sat and watched supporting characters like Limehouse (Mykelti Williamson), Arlo (Raymond Berry) and Johnny Crowder (David Meunier) sit back and law low but they all became relevant and important to the bigger picture and it all unfolded so creatively. Even Raylan’s hat played a big role. Graham Yost and the writers rewarded patient viewing, and did such a tremendous job of showing us more than telling it.

From Raylan (Timothy) playing Harlan Roulette with Wynn Duffy (Jere Burns) to Limehouse and Boyd meeting at the bridge, Raylan’s suicide mission into Limehouse’s diner, the entire situation with Quarles kept us on the edge, unable to swallow. While I could single out any »

SXSW 2012 Photos: Braving the Wild Red Carpets

5 April 2012 11:30 AM, PDT | Slackerwood | See recent Slackerwood news »

The red carpets at SXSW are often a little crazy. The SXSW staff and volunteers do an excellent job of managing these events, but there are many people in a small space and afterwards you don't really want to see the related movie as much as you want to find the nearest bar. It is not a task for the weak or easily intimidated. I did cover the Trash Dance red carpet this year but that was much smaller and quieter compared to, say, The Cabin in the Woods.

Fortunately, this year a pair of courageous and intrepid photographers offered their red-carpet shooting skills to Slackerwood: Molly Dinkins and Dick De Jong. What follows is a sampling of the great photos they snapped during a number of SXSW 2012 red carpets -- and a couple of Q&As -- whether of first-feature screenwriters or well known celebrities, representing movies from Bernie »

Code of the West

22 March 2012 6:58 PM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »

SXSW 2012 film review

complete coverage of SXSW Film 2012

Code of the West

Director: Rebecca Richman Cohen

Frames a high stakes showdown in the halls of the Montana State Legislature. The future of medical marijuana is at stake.

(World Premiere)

Film Synopsis (from SXSW.com)

Who’S It For?: You do not need a strong interest in medical marijuana (or legalization in general) to dive into this pot doc.

Overall

With a distinct distance from most of its “characters,” Code of the West plays out best as the recalling of a bill being passed more than a soapbox moment begging for the legalization of weed. A large chunk of this movie could be used in schools to show the story of how a bill passes in the state of Montana. As for stimulating discussion about medical marijuana, this film will only send debaters in circles.

There is not much »

In Our Nature

22 March 2012 2:24 PM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »

SXSW 2012 film review

complete coverage of SXSW Film 2012

In Our Nature

Director & Screenwriter: Brian Savelson

Taking place over a single weekend, an estranged father and son accidentally end up in the same country house with their two girlfriends.

Cast: Zach Gilford, Jena Malone, John Slattery, Gabrielle Union

(World Premiere)

Film Synopsis (from SXSW.com)

Who’S It For?: If you like John Slattery, don’t miss this one. If you like Gabrielle Union when she’s actually acting, don’t miss this one. If you’re interested in seeing a dialogue-driven movie that rarely feels boring, definitely don’t miss this one.

Overall

At SXSW this year there were many notable victories in acting, writing, and directing, but no movie achieved such a hat trick more impressively than In Our Nature. It is such a strong movie that it features four people talking about their problems, and it’s actually really exciting. »

The Best & Worst Of SXSW '12: The Playlist's Complete Coverage

19 March 2012 1:55 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

SXSW is officially done for another year. Well, technically, it's been done since Saturday, but it's taken a few days for The Playlist team members to emerge from their BBQ & queso comas. Nevertheless, the film strand of the festival is over and it's time to look forward, to Tribeca, Cannes and whatever else lies beyond.

And we have to confess, from most people that we've talked to, the line-up turned out to be somewhat underwhelming this time around. For whatever reason (a comparatively strong Sundance, perhaps?), there were few breakout hits that hadn't played at other festivals first. Indeed, the movies that emerged with the best reactions were mainstream studio pictures, in the shape of "21 Jump Street" and "The Cabin In the Woods," with no breakout buzz films to rival "Attack The Block" or "Weekend" last year.

Not that the festival was a wash out: while there were few stunning surprises, »

Austin Cinematic Limits: Fewer Austin Filmmakers Represented at SXSW Film

5 March 2012 11:04 AM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

It is still very unclear to me why SXSW Film opted to forego their Lone Star States category in 2012, but what seems abundantly clear is the shortage of feature-length films by local filmmakers at the festival this year. As I continue to rummage through the schedule to plan my nine-day marathon of film screenings, various questions keep popping into my mind. Did fewer local filmmakers submit their features to SXSW this year? Has SXSW lost the desire to support local filmmakers? Do SXSW’s standards exceed the quality of local film productions? What does all of this say about the Austin film community? Inquiring minds want to know! The lack of local films in this year’s feature-length film categories would not have been as much of a shock if Austin had not enjoyed such a powerful presence at SXSW 2010 and 2011. In 2010, SXSW Film screened seven feature films by Austin filmmakers: Dance with the One, Earthling »
