Steven Spielberg directing a segment for a “Twilight Zone” movie (one that he also produced) feels like the perfect pairing of filmmaker and property. After all, Spielberg’s early movie “Duel” was based on a story by Richard Matheson, who wrote more than a dozen episodes of the original series and several more installments of subsequent revivals. B...
It’s hard to feel bad for Disney but you’ve got to at least appreciate the fact that they entered into a lengthy, expensive agreement to distribute DreamWorks movies for the chance to finally (finally!) release a Disney-branded film directed by Steven Spielberg. And this is the movie he ultimately chose to do. Loud and unfunny, this bustling adapta...
They should have left well enough alone. “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” ended perfectly – with our heroes literally riding off into the sunset. But George Lucas began tinkering with an idea that would move Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) into the 1950s with a plot ripped out of a drive-in sci-fi movie. Lucas pitched Ford on the idea during the ...
Weirdly, “Hook” feels like one of the most important films in Spielberg’s career while still being one of the lousiest. Since the early 1980s, Spielberg had been attempting to do a live-action “Peter Pan” story; first at Disney and then with Paramount (where Dustin Hoffman was first attached as Captain Hook). When Spielberg dropped out, another dir...
Spielberg’s first theatrical feature is a law-breakin’-lovers-on-the-run yarn that had the misfortune of coming out the year after Terrence Malick’s masterpiece “Badlands.” It’s not that “The Sugarland Express” is bad, necessarily, it just lacks some of the magic that was evident in Spielberg’s TV movie “Duel” and would become a staple in his later...
“The Lost World: Jurassic Park,” based on the second best-selling, dinosaur-filled novel by Michael Crichton, is an entirely different vibe. With the actual park gone, the action takes place on Site B, a second island where (we quickly learn) they made the dinosaurs before bringing them to the park (Funny, what was that whole scene with Dr. Wu in t...
Based, in part, on the true story of a man from Brussels who lived in a Paris airport (he sadly recently passed away), “The Terminal” stars Tom Hanks as a visitor to America from a fictional country that, while he is passing through immigration, ceases to exist. This leaves him stuck in the airport, eating packets of ketchup, running afoul of a tig...
“War Horse,” on paper, seems like a slam dunk. An adaptation of both British author Michael Morpurgo’s 1982 novel and a 2007 stage adaptation that played both the West End and Broadway, it stars Jeremy Irvine as a British kid whose beloved horse is drafted into World War I and goes through a series of harrowing adventures before the two are reunite...
“West Side Story,” quietly released at the end of 2021, racked up seven Oscar nominations (including Best Picture) and secured a single win (for Ariana DeBose’s amazing supporting performance), and yet was seen as something of a disappointment. And at the end of the day it’s easy to get swept up in this new version of the story, written by Tony Kus...
Just like in 1993, when Spielberg released both “Jurassic Park” and “Schindler’s List,” in 1997 Spielberg paired “The Lost World” with a far more serious project – “Amistad,” the story of a slave uprising and the legal fallout that followed. The slave uprising sequence is a typical Spielberg tour-de-force moment – it happens in the rain, with cresc...
