Has our look back at the work of Joel Schumacher arrived at his finest film? Carley revisits Falling Down...
"You think I'm a thief? Oh, you see, I'm not the thief. I'm not the one charging 85 cents for a *stinking* soda! You're the thief. I'm just standing up for my rights as a consumer." - William
The Recap
After tackling the weepy genre with the angst filled Dying Young, Schumacher took a very sharp turn in his next project which crafted together anger, violence and unhappiness on a very hot day in Los Angeles.
William Foster (Michael Douglas) is not having the best of times. Going through a messy divorce, his wife Beth (Barbara Hershey) has a restraining order against him, making him unable to see her or his daughter Adele (Joey Hope Singer). He has also just lost his job.

Let’s make one thing perfectly clear, shall we? The trailer for T.J. Martin’s 2009 historical thriller “The Donner Party” isn’t particularly interesting, and, truthfully, I’m not sure if I’m willing to hand over 90 minutes of my life to something as questionable as this. That being said, watching cult actor and professional weirdo Crispin Glover portray William Foster may be worth the price of admission. In fact, that’s the only element in the entire preview that seems worthy of my attention, especially since the rest of the feature is one or two baby steps away from resembling a low-budget reenactment on The History Channel. You may feel differently once you’ve watched the trailer embedded below, but I’m thinking you won’t. Call it a hunch. Or indigestion. Hungry for more? Here’s a synopsis to whet your whistle: Based on the harrowing true story,...

The Donner Party will show at the Porta Vallarta Film Festival beginning December 2nd and run until December 4th. A film that tackles the real life story of the Donner Party and cannibalism in the Sierra Nevada, The Donner Party stars Crispin Glover (Beowulf), William Foster, and Clayne Crawford. The full synopsis for this harrowing tale is below until a trailer can be found for The Donner Party at a future date.
A synopsis for The Donner Party here:
"The Donner Party is based on the true story of a group of westward bound settlers stranded in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in 1846. They must reach California for salvation, but without food and a guide, the group becomes disillusioned and decisions must be made so that others can stay alive. Inspired by the infamous Donner Party tragedy, the film is a harrowing look at survival and how far some will go...

First off I need to apologize for the tardiness of this entry. I was infected with the swine pandemic and was unable to do anything but utter “Bbbbraaaiiinsssss…” feebly from my bed. Now I’m up and about again, so here we go.
One of the first things to do when making your movie is figure out who your main character is going to be. Now, you may pick your plot first and then figure what kind of protagonist you want or you may pick your characters and write about what they do – it all depends on your style of writing. In either case, understanding your protagonist(s) is very important since these are the people whom the plot revolves around, who we will come to know and love and who we will follow for the next 120 minutes. They will be our tour guides through your movie so you have...

When a hail of raining "Meatballs" earns box office gold over the likes of the bloody, sexy, Megan Fox-starring "Jennifer's Body," it's clear that summer is truly over. Fall is upon us now, meaning that the days of the big Hollywood blockbuster will have to wait until next May. In the meantime, there's plenty of other film fare to look forward to and plenty to look back upon.
Earlier today, our friends at Hollywood Crush devised a list of movies that take place in autumn, but such an array of films is a bit too subtle for my tastes. Just hearing the word "fall" is enough to get my wheelhouse churning, because there are so many movies that have the word in their title... some of 'em good, some of 'em not so much.
For your viewing pleasure, behold our five most memorable flicks with the word "fall" in its title.

Somewhat lazily dismissed at the time of its release as merely a “white collar Taxi Driver” this taut, tidy, intelligent thriller has stood the test of time and slowly ascended to something approaching cult status. It’s a career best performance for Michael Douglas, whose career has largely defined itself through unflattering turns in risky projects. Wall Street might be more showy and Fatal Attraction more accessible, but it’s the jaw-clenching resentment and white knuckle intensity of this ordinary man pushed past the brink that stands as Douglas’ finest hour. It’s also by far and away Joel Schumacher’s best film; also, it's further testament to the performance of his leading man and Ebbe Roe Smith’s layered script that a director who can, in all honesty, fuck up a cup of coffee could deliver such a complex and compelling picture.
It’s 1993, and the Cold War has ended.

.I.m the bad guy?. .I.m mad as hell and I.m not taking it anymore.. That iconic line isn.t from this movie but it perfectly describes the breakdown Michael Douglas. character has in the film. It.s a little hard to go fully on the side of our vigilante, but some days it.s easier to than others. William Foster (Michael Douglas) is not having a good day. He.s been fired and he wants to go to his daughter Adele.s (Joey Hope Singer) birthday party. His ex-wife Beth (Barbara Hershey) has obtained a restraining order, so attending the party isn.t going to happen. He finds himself stuck in L.A. traffic and his air conditioner stops working. He abandons the...

I had never seen Falling Down so when it was offered up for review I jumped at the opportunity having heard enough good things about it to attract my interest. Starring Michael Douglas and directed by Joel Schumacher, the film is a bit scattered at times and relies heavily on the audience giving in to the premise and ignoring the fact the entire film is a random series of extreme coincidences. It walks the line between serious and satire and at one point even dabbles in loony, but overall it's a good watch even if I wouldn't recommend you run out and buy it blind without at least seeing it once. The film begins on the baking streets of Los Angeles and Schumacher does a fantastic job of representing a hot and claustrophobic atmosphere. Stuck in traffic, this is where we first meet William Foster (Michael Douglas) as his skin is crawling with impatience,...
