Viridian Ventures
Take nothing but pictures; leave nothing but carbon footprints?
Features Story May 25, 2007, by Kate X MesserLady Macbeth
A violent, desperate housewife plots murder
Film Review July 28, 2017, by Steve Davis"...The character’s near-sociopathic drive to defy the misogynistic social norms that imprisoned women of her position and time is ripe with possibility, so why does Lady Macbeth ultimately feel like a gimmick, and an unsatisfying one at that? With no backstory to inform the psychology of its homicidal central character, the movie dictates that you sympathize with Katherine after witnessing the humiliations she endures at the hand of both her husband and the father-in-law who purchased her, and yet recoil with a perverse sense of admiration at the lengths to which she will go to counter such dehumanizing cruelty. By the time an innocent is sacrificed in the film’s third act, Katherine is drained of any sympathy or motive, and the movie ventures into the melodramatic territory it so carefully avoids up to that point..."
Smurfs: The Lost Village
The little blue critters are back
Film Review April 7, 2017, by Marc Savlov"...All’s well that ends well, but not really, because now the purposeless protagonist has to track down a mysterious being she briefly glimpsed in the Forbidden Forest. Determinedly setting out on her own – except for the four clownish man-Smurfs who tag along to make sure nothing bad happens to their blond goddess – she evades Gargamel’s clutches and ventures off into unknown territory with predictable results..."
Kicks
A boy and his Air Jordans
Film Review September 16, 2016, by Josh Kupecki"...But Brandon gets jumped by a thug named Flaco (Siriboe), who steals those magical shoes. Brandon, fed up and wearing his mom’s flip-flops, ventures, with his friends, onto a road of trials that is Oakland to retrieve those shoes, and thus a quest begins...."
Captain Phillips
Tom Hanks is at his best in this multidimensional thriller that grabs real life by the throat.
Film Review October 11, 2013, by Marjorie Baumgarten"...Captain Phillips ventures out to high seas and takes the audience along for a tense, claustrophobic ride. Based on true events from 2009 in which the U.S.-flagged cargo ship Maersk Alabama was captured for ransom by Somali pirates, the film also draws from Captain Richard Phillips’ recounting of the experience in his book A Captain’s Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and Dangerous Days at Sea..."
American Mary
The plastic surgery performed in this horror film gives real meaning to going under the knife.
Film Review May 31, 2013, by Steve Davis"...American Mary ventures into genre territory only briefly, after its unlicensed practitioner is drugged and raped by an authority figure for no apparent reason. (The film’s spotty script is rife with many such WTF moments.) She exacts vengeance on her perpetrator with the zeal of Dr..."
The Innkeepers
With slow-burn shudders, Ti West's haunted-inn story provides a stellar model for creeping dread.
Film Review February 3, 2012, by Marc Savlov"...What makes The Innkeepers such an unnerving experience isn't the outright horror but rather the lack of it. West mines every single floorboard creek and shadowy corridor for maximum frisson; this film ventures far beyond creepy and into the rarely explored land of genuine, incremental fear..."
Shrek Forever After
What’s an ogre with a midlife crisis to do? The Shrek series closes by reminding us "it's a wonderful life."
Film Review May 21, 2010, by Marjorie Baumgarten"...Shrek’s depression is ripe for the picking when he’s offered a deal by Rumpelstiltskin (Dohrn) that allows him to be a scary ogre for a day in exchange for any past day in his life. With this, Shrek ventures into It’s a Wonderful Life territory, getting to see what the community would be like for others had he never been born..."
Lars and the Real Girl
This movie's high-concept premise would be easy to dismiss were it not so flawlessly executed.
Film Review October 26, 2007, by Marjorie Baumgarten"...Painfully reticent, Lars shocks his family and community when, out of the blue, he introduces them to the wheelchair-bound Bianca, a lifelike sex doll with whom he forges a chaste romantic relationship. Despite opportunities galore for smutty gags, Lars and the Real Girl never ventures down this path, staying on its best behavior in matters of courtship and film ratings..."
Tamala 2010: A Punk Cat in Space
This new anime import marks a break with the Japanese traditions and invents a wholly original and kittenish appeal.
Film Review September 26, 2003, by Marc Savlov"...Everything you’ve come to expect from animé, and therefore everything that has curdled that most prolific of Japanese cinematic pop culture traditions, is missing. In their absence is the surreal, almost childlike story of Tamala, a young kitten from "Meguro City, Tokyo, Cat Earth, Feline Galaxy," who disobeys her human, anaconda-loving mother one day and ventures into space in search of the Orion Galaxy..."
National Security
At this particular moment in American history it might seem a dubious proposition to release, of all things, a film comedy with the title National Security. But you at least...
Film Review January 17, 2003, by Marjorie Baumgarten"...In National Security, Lawrence delivers his nonstop mugging and Zahn provides decent foil as Lawrence's reluctant partner in crime-stopping, but the film nevertheless falls flatter than, well, a Hollywood comedy release in January. It's directed by Dennis Dugan with all the flair he failed to display in such previous ventures as Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy, and Saving Silverman, and it was scripted by Jay Scherick and David Ronn, the same writing team who previously gave us the witless comedies Serving Sara and I Spy..."
Beloved
The funny thing about the present is how quickly and doggedly it becomes the past. The past is always nipping at our heels, chasing us into the future, and shadowing...
Film Review October 16, 1998, by Marjorie Baumgarten"...It's storytelling at its most irresistible, a sinewy saga that seamlessly snakes the boundary lines separating ghost tale from family epic and historical drama from psychological subjectivism. At nearly three hours running time, the movie covers a lot of turf though it infrequently ventures past the front gate of Sethe's home at 124 Bluestone Road..."
Road Scholar

Film Review October 15, 1993, by Marc Savlov"...Starring: Andrei Codrescu. Shot in 1991, Road Scholar is that rare film: a documentary road movie that looks at America with eyes not hampered by the rose-tinted cultural nostalgia which so often plagues similar ventures..."
In the Soup
This Sundance multiaward-winner provides a fantastic showcase for the outsized vitality of Seymour Cassell, who plays a gangster investing in dour screenwriter Steve Buscemi's work.
Film Review August 6, 1993, by Marjorie Baumgarten"...His energy, vitality and curiosities expand to fill every scene, pleasurably captivating the audience much like the spell he casts over the young artiste. Adolpho is so taken with Joe's charisma that he's able to partake in the criminal cash-raising ventures that Joe leads him into..."
Black Harvest
Winner of the Grand Prix at Cinema du Reel, Paris, this well-crafted Australian documentary presents the ramifications of neocolonialism in modern-day Papua, New Guinea, in particular, the socioeconomic effects of...
Film Review June 11, 1993, by Pamela Bruce"...Further complications arise when an ally tribe request the Ganiga's assistance in a tribal war, and all work on the plantation ceases, leaving a thoroughly frustrated Leahy caught between the old world of his tribal roots and the modern, neocolonial values that made him successful. Shot in 16mm with a low budget, this documentary manages to avoid the cheap look usually associated with such ventures through good sound quality and smooth transitions..."
