It’s certainly a better fit than “This is Not a Green Knight” or “This is Not a Dragon Owned by Pete” or “This Ain’t Ain’t Them Bodies Saints.” Throw a triple-X at the end of that last one, and […]

But if you looked just a little bit below the surface, you’d see the astonishing losses suffered by studios trying to bring the tale of the Lost Boys and the leader to the screen. Steven Spielberg, Joe Wright, P.J. Hogan (yeah, the guy isn’t exactly a […]

]]> ‘The Green Knight’ Review: A sparse, slow and stale spectacle https://vanyaland.com/2021/07/30/the-green-knight-review-a-sparse-slow-and-stale-spectacle/ Fri, 30 Jul 2021 21:13:17 +0000 https://vanyaland.com/?p=10027209 Since the end of The Hobbit films, high fantasy has found itself in a pretty fascinating and weird place, on the downslope from its rapid (and rabid) ascent from irrelevance to lauded mass popularity back down to semi-irrelevance again. Sure, you’ll get big-budget attempts to recapture that Lord of the Rings lightning with movies like Warcraft, or a few interesting spins on classic legends (King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, Robin Hood ’18), but it takes a special kind of […]

We’re genuinely stunned that A24 didn’t set this motherfucker to a Dream Theater solo because it certainly shreds like one. It’s semi-traditional high fantasy done by the man who brought you some of the greatest fantasies of the last decade, […]

]]> David Lowery’s ‘The Green Knight’ gets a mythical first trailer https://vanyaland.com/2020/02/13/david-lowerys-the-green-knight-gets-a-mythical-first-trailer/ Thu, 13 Feb 2020 20:32:19 +0000 https://vanyaland.com/?p=10018717 Despite their deep and influential roots in our storytelling and culture, it’s always a tough financial proposition when a filmmaker sets out to make a movie based on Arthurian legend. One only needs to look at this past decade’s feature-length flops — Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, Joe Cornish’s The Kid Who Would Be King — to see that. But, God bless them, directors haven’t stopped trying, and the latest up to the plate, A Ghost Story […]

]]> Film Review: The haunting reality of ‘A Ghost Story’ is a gut-punch of emotion https://vanyaland.com/2017/07/14/film-review-the-haunting-reality-of-a-ghost-story-is-a-gut-punch-of-emotion/ Fri, 14 Jul 2017 11:27:32 +0000 http://vanya.wpengine.com/?p=161927 There comes a moment in David Lowery’s A Ghost Story where a sheet covered-hand knocks a stack of books off of a shelf, and we can see clearly a couple of the books lying on the floor. Scenes like this are typically easter-eggs for attentive viewers, where directors can insert their own personal influences into a film and pay small homage to them without overwhelming the story, and Lowery’s up to something similar. On one hand, we have Gabriel Garcia […]
