As a filmmaker, Ridley Scott has always been somewhat reticent to embrace the urgency of the contemporary moment. Though he’s never less than competent in terms of form and as a director of actors, Scott remains to this day a genre-driven stylist and a lover of the physical design, cultural symbols, and lingo that characterize a specific era. Scott’s best films called for immense design work, the crafting of vehicles and creatures, and the imagining of a culture far removed from our current standings; Gladiator and The Duellists bloomed largely due to exhaustive detailing and accuracy of historical costume design, if not historical events exactly.
Life in the present boxes Scott in creatively, as he’s in a way required to show us a world we will recognize as the same one that we will see when we exit the theater. That world doesn’t bore Scott necessarily,...

The Overlooked Hotel is a new column in which we throw the spotlight behind the front line, champion those unfairly lost in the shallow focus of fame and feed the hungry underdogs.
Our maiden guest in the Hotel is character actor and master storyteller Stephen Tobolowsky.
There are plenty of superstars out there. The Tom Cruises and Brad Pitts and George Clooneys of this world who, with a sprinkle of their magic pixie dust, can get a film made, with their name above the title on the poster and a big cut of the profits to boot. Likewise, hundreds of films (deservedly or otherwise) have their moment in the sun, awards and box office success lavished upon them as they are admitted to the ranks of “The Acclaimed”.
Then there are the other guys. The other films. Actors who always add something great to the films they appear in, but...

Thelma (Geena Davis) is the neglected wife of a rug salesman and Louise (Susan Sarandon) works as a waitress at a diner. They head off together for a couple of days and decide to let their hair down. Thelma’s naivety, coupled with the predatory instincts of a particularly unpleasant and dangerous patron at the bar they stop off at, results in her almost being raped before Louise shoots him dead in the parking lot. Convinced that they won’t be believed by the police, Louise suggests they go on the run, eventually deciding to head for Mexico. As they make their way through the Us Deep South and the authorities close in, Thelma and Louise get themselves into more and more trouble and it seems less and less likely that they will be able to escape to freedom.

Critics (and audiences) love to place movies under neat little compartmentalized labels, and 1991's Thelma & Louise has been described as many things, most of which boil down to "a feminist version of Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid." While that's probably a fair summarization, this movie is much more than a roadtrip between girlfriends, buddy comedy, or tale of a crime spree gone wild. Instead, director Ridley Scott combines his usual tools of the trade -- breathtaking cinematography and effective score -- with Calli Khouri's debut (and Oscar-winning) script that carries strong undercurrents of social realism. To be certain, Khouri did not arbitrarily choose the surnames of Louise Sawyer and Thelma Dickinson, who are both mythical within this depiction of contemporary Americana, but these two characters aren't merely one-dimensional pieces of talking scenery either. At first glance, however, one would be forgiven for assuming as much, since the script wastes no time with lengthy introductions.

Black Sheep would mark the second pairing of Chris Farley and David Spade and would also be the last, but maybe you saw the film the year before when it was called Tommy Boy? Al Donnelly (Tim Matheson) is running for governor of Washington against incumbent Evelyn Tracy (Christine Ebersole). His brother Mike (Chris Farley) is campaigning hard for his brother. Perhaps a little too hard as the hapless Mike is turning off more voters than he.s bringing in. Al.s campaign manager Roger (Timothy Carhart) advises him to dump his brother, but Al assigns Steve Dodds (David Spade) to mind his brother in exchange for a spot on Al.s gubernatorial staff. The two still have all sorts...
