NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
d.rust Truth is a perception, dependent on the subjective view of the observer and coloured by time and memory.Evan is a professor of philosphy at a run-of-the-mill college with sparsely attended classes punctuated by infatuated young women who are easily swayed by his charm and logical arguments.His life is turned upside down when an investigation starts into the disappearance of a young woman.What proceeds is an examination of what goes through Evan's mind when the accusations begin, whether it is insinuation by Brosnan's character or the quiet dread of his wife Ellen, played by Minnie Driver.Take a non-existent chair and enjoy the labyrinth of Guy Pearce's characterization. It's enjoyable and worth the price of admission.
billy_dan_courtney I enjoyed this myself. It is a cat and mouse style slow thriller. If you like something action packed or in your face it may tire you a bit at times, but it is a good movie that is well acted, written and directed. Not perfect, it close enough.
Dave McClain "Spinning Man" (R, 1:40) is a drama-mystery-thriller directed by Swedish television director Simon Kaijser and written by Matthew Aldrich ("Cleaner", "Coco") based on a novel by George Harrar. The film received a limited release in U.S. theaters on April 6, 2018, the same day it was available via VOD.Golden Globe nominee and Emmy winner Guy Pearce plays Evan Birch, a college professor with a history of having affairs with his students... most recently, an intelligent and beautiful coed named Anna (Alexandra Shipp). Evan teaches a class called Philosophy of Language and many of the conversations he has involve word play and/or abstract philosophical concepts - including when he talks with his young daughter, Zelda (Eliza Pryor), his longsuffering wife, Ellen (Oscar nominee Minnie Driver)... or the police.Golden Globe nominee Pierce Brosnan is Detective Malloy, who is investigating the disappearance of a student named Joyce (Odeya Rush). When details of Professor Birch's extracurricular romantic history surface, along with information about his possible connection with the missing girl, Malloy naturally focuses on Evan as his prime suspect... but getting straight answers from the good professor proves... challenging. Even as the questions about the young woman's fate and whether Evan has anything to do with this case are answered, other questions emerge about the professor's past, present... and future."Spinning Man" is an unusual and frustrating film. The use of language, not just by the characters, but almost as a character in its own right, is sometimes clever, but too often annoying. The plot is fairly unpredictable, but the answers the story gives us are a combination of surprising, open-ended and... yes, annoying (especially regarding the symbolism referenced in the title of the film and revealed as it ends). The film is short on entertainment value and even shorter on meaning. "C-"
