  Holiday Inn, dir. Mark Sandrich

  Dec 20, 20246 minS3

  <p>Wiz RECOMMENDS Holiday Inn...But It's Not A Christmas Movie</p> <p><br /></p> <p> </p> <p>I came into Holiday Inn under the pretense of "I watched White Christmas last year and liked it...and this is a remake of Holiday Inn...so I'll watch Holiday Inn to compare the two!"</p> <p>Well...there's a few problems with this mode of thinking.</p> <p>FIrst: White Christmas is a loose remake of Holiday Inn...and loose is the key word here.</p> <p>The only things that both films have in common are Bing Crosby and it's...

  Three Days of the Condor, dir. Sydney Pollack

  Dec 18, 202412 minS3

  <p>Zero and Wiz RECOMMEND Three Days of the Condor</p> <p><br /></p> <p> </p> <p>Sometimes you watch a movie and you just enjoy it even though there are glaring issues with the finished product.</p> <p>This was my exact feeling finishing Three Days of the Condor, Sydney Pollack's paranoia thriller about a CIA reader (Robert Redford) who comes back from lunch finding his entire team assassinated.</p> <p>The movie is actually entertaining: it's a twisty thriller that makes you wonder whether the main character will make it out alive.</p> <p>The plot goes along...

  Tangerine, dir. Sean Baker

  Dec 17, 20247 minS3

  <p>Wiz RECOMMENDS Tangerine</p> <p><br /></p> <p> </p> <p>I've heard about Tangerine for nearly a decade now.</p> <p>But there's a few things that get mentioned about the film whenever I hear about it: it's about transsexual sex workers and it was shot on three iPhone 5s'.</p> <p>But unless you pay real close attention (and I mean REAL CLOSE ATTENTION) you won't be able to tell. Tangerine takes the seedy, grimy L.A. setting and gives it a vivid, striking color grading.</p> <p>There are scenes with neon, sunlight and even fluorescent lighting...

  Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale, dir. Jalmari Helander

  Dec 14, 20246 minS3

  <p>Wiz DOES NOT RECOMMEND Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (But You Should Probably See It Anyway)</p> <p><br /></p> <p> </p> <p>I may struggle to convey how odd Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale is.</p> <p>This Finnish genre blender incorporates a whole load of genre and film sensibilities:</p> It's a dark, brooding thriller that slowly boils up the tension It's a grim-dark like fantasy It's a children's Christmas movie It's an at times violent horror movie It's a corny action romp And it satirizes all of this while also taking itself and the story seriously. <...
