![]() ![]() In the film, the scene occurs directly after Spider-Man and the Green Goblin’s second duel, this time in a burning building where the wall-crawler had his arm slashed by a flying buzzsaw. Hence one of the best scenes in the movie where a few days later, all the major surviving characters gather for Thanksgiving dinner: Peter Parker, Mary Jane, Aunt May (Rosemary Harris), Norman Osborn, and his son Harry (James Franco). A major Midtown event has caused all the characters to gather around an NYC landmark covered in decorations and giant balloons-which prove perfect trampolines for Maguire’s Spidey and Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin to bounce from.Īdditionally, the film even includes a musical number from Macy Gray, raising the question if one enterprising Sony executive really thought “Macy Gray” was close enough to “Macy’s department store?” No matter the reason the parade might have had its name changed, there is still Thanksgiving itself-a brand which can never be copyrighted. It is not clear when or why the Macy’s Day Parade was changed into the World Unity Festival in the film-other than perhaps legal necessities which made a nondescript Times Square celebration cheaper to create than Macy’s patented parade-but it still serves the same narrative function. In Koepp’s earlier versions, in fact, both the Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus characters battle the web-head at the famed Macy’s Day Parade, complete with snow and the inclement weather we tend to associate with it. ![]() once mused Spider-Man comics are soap operas where a fight breaks out every once in a while, and what can be more soapy than Thanksgiving dinner? A Date on ThanksgivingĮver since David Koepp turned in his first draft for the Spider-Man screenplay, the plan was to center the second and third acts of a Spider-Man movie around the Thanksgiving holiday. Indeed, for as much as we can look back nostalgically on the bold colors and sunny disposition of Spider-Man and its two sequels, Raimi also (perhaps better than any filmmaker since) zeroed in on Spider-Man comics’ ultimately melodramatic core. It was a major step in paving the way for both the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s nerdiness and even arguably Christopher Nolan’s gritty reboot of Batman a few years later, which like Spider-Man would be an A-budgeted superhero movie that actually cared about pesky things like character arcs and motivations. Yes, Blade and X-Men came out in the interim, but both of those movies ran from their comic book roots, with the former hiding it was inspired by a Marvel character and the latter downplaying it with black leather costumes and maximum amounts of brooding.īut Spider-Man? It begins with Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker basically going “aw shucks” while staring at the redheaded girl next door, Kirsten Dunst’s Mary Jane Watson, and culminates with him catching her after a guy dressed like a four leaf clover throws her from the Queensboro Bridge. So entered Raimi’s modern reinvention of the superhero movie formula and its embrace of color, humor, and grandiose comic book storytelling-all elements which had vanished from multiplexes after Batman & Robin five years earlier. 11, 2001 attacks, the movie came out at a moment when audiences were desperate for escapism and clear cut good versus evil morality. Released in 2002 at the beginning of the millennium and notably less than a year after the Sept. Spider-Man is of course one of the most important entries in its genre. Yes, the superhero movie which spans about a year and is probably best remembered for an upside down kiss in the rain is also a Thanksgiving miracle. Well if you count organic webbing as a good substitute for stuffing, and don’t mind a pumpkin bomb baked into your pie, then you probably have overlooked one of the all-time great Thanksgiving flicks: Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man from 2002. ![]() ![]() John Hughes’ Planes, Trains and Automobiles is of course an indisputable classic and the beginning of Miracle on 34th Street also kicks off at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade (before quickly transitioning into Christmas movie iconography). Despite being among the most widely celebrated and popular seasonal gatherings (at least in the U.S.) where the only prerequisite is the sweatpants you’ll need after dinner, there have been few genuinely great movies set around Turkey Day. Thanksgiving is an interesting holiday when it comes to cinema. ![]() ![]() Caplan is magnetic as Johnson, the single mother struggling to survive in the ’60s, getting a secretarial job and, because she’s in tune with her own sexuality, effortlessly conveying to the more uptight Masters just what a woman wants. William Masters and Lizzy Caplanas Virginia Johnson. The series was created by Michelle Ashford and stars Michael Sheenas Dr. I'm sure Marg could be offering some important wisdom … Barton at least had some comment on it when Ethan confronted him, but still, seems odd.STORY: ‘Masters of Sex’ Cast and EPs Get Candid About Nudity, Mourn Virginia Johnson We never saw her when the engagement was on (and Margaret was so cynical about marriage), nor now in the aftermath of the breakup. It's interesting that we never have seen Margaret's reaction to Vivian's situation with Ethan. The moment in the bedroom where she laid down on Barton's bed was so sad. Her bravery to approach the prostitute and discuss things was phenomenal, especially when followed by such an incredible revelation for her. I really love Margaret's character, she and Ethan are carrying the show. Still, it's a more dynamic shift for a show that started off pretty stagnant. That balance felt better, but the dense use of metaphor (like Margaret and Langham floating / treading water … even though it was a beautifully shot scene) lessens the overall effect. For once though, the show allowed a few happy moments too, like Jane and Lester's silly kiss, the crazy Civil Defense drill, Langham's freakout, and DePaull attempting to charm the chancellor (and failing spectacularly). Masters of Sex again tackled many difficult truths, from the gendered politics to the more personal problems of Margaret finding out about her Barton's homosexuality, Ethan being rejected for a full-time position at the hospital, Ginny piecing together Bill's emotional issues, and Langham finding out he accidentally fathered a child. The women get the short end of the stick. ![]() "A husband strays, the wife pays," Margaret's friend says. Because there's not a comparable situation, though somehow a shadow of the fact there is hangs around. "If the man had gotten pregnant?" she asks. Options for women are still limited, though - something Margaret comes up against with her own group of friends regarding the perils of divorce for older women.Įven the Pregnancy of the Week faced that "for women it's different, even though it should be equal" issue in a way which seems so obvious regarding the study, and yet: "Had it been reversed, I would have felt the same way," Bill says to Ginny about protecting the anonymity of his study participants. But the point is that she is no longer beholden to him, and can assert herself without fear (one could argue she always did, and they did have blowups in the past). ![]() Of course, she does actually believe in Bill's work and his study, and since there's no way he can run it without her, it won't be long until she returns to his side. Ginny is too smart to get caught up in that. The secretary pool whispered about girls who had affairs with their bosses, and how that failed. ![]() ![]() Ginny using her ways and means (both personal and professional) to help DePaull is not something that can be scrutinized through gender like her relationship with Masters. Masters of Sex has always heavily included gender politics into its storylines, and Ginny getting out from under the controlling and manipulative thumb of Bill to assist DePaull is one that pays off in a number of ways. Perhaps the more interesting relationship, even though it's been more predictable, has been the one between Ginny and Dr. ![]() ![]() Scenes like Dee Dee eating the basement key and Jack holding a real grenade in his mouth and said weapon explodes were cut.

![]() ![]() Whereas in the original, Bryan Mills must embark on a mission to save his daughter after she was kidnapped by sex traffickers while in France, the roles are reversed in Taken 2. I would definitely not rush out to see it in theaters but if you want to see Liam Neeson kicking ass, it would probably be a good rent when it comes out on DVD.Taken 2 is the sequel to the immensely popular movie Taken starring Liam Neeson as retired CIA operative Bryan Mills. Taken didn’t really set itself up for a sequel and Taken 2 doesn’t really do anything to prove it was necessary, but it is solid enough action wise. He’s the leader of the Albanian syndicate but he is so incredibly one note that it’s kind of a waste having a great actor in the role. Something you could possibly argue was missing in the original movie was a main villain, which Taken 2 has in fantastic character actor Rade Serbedzija, who is usually Russian scientists and military. There’s no great interrogations or escapes, he just enters a room, shoots everyone and moves on. ![]() The first movie put Bryan into some fun scenarios and he had some fantastic bad ass moments but there’s not as much in 2. Liam Neeson is fantastic as always and, even though it’s fairly routine at this point, it’s still fun to see him shooting up and punching bad guys. One thing that was coming out before the movie was that the plot summary made it seem like Maggie Grace was going to somehow become a bad ass like her dad but fortunately in the movie she just follows his instructions to help him escape when he and Lenore are captured and she shows off her driving skills during the big car chase (and it’s funny because she’s failed her driving test three times!). It also features some annoying cuts and editing, especially during hand to hand fights, possibly to keep it PG-13 and there are some absolutely baffling kills where it seems like the bad guys are killed by the sheer awesomeness of Liam Neeson. Taken 2 features solid action but it is nothing special and it’s shot about as standard as you can get. The original’s pacing was fantastic as Bryan moved his way up the ranks through the Albanian criminals before exploding into great action sequences. Taken 2 is much better than those last two efforts but pales in comparison to the original. Taken 2 is directed by Olivier Megaton, who pretty much ruined The Transporter series with 3 and directed the god awful Colombiana last year. Bryan has a security job in Istanbul and invites the girls to join him when it’s finished, which they accept but the relaxing vacation quickly turns dangerous when they realize they are targets for the revenge seeking father of Marco, the man Bryan electrocuted in Taken, and the rest of the criminal gang. Taken 2 picks up an indeterminate time after the original, with CIA agent Bryan Mills still working on his relationship with his daughter and ex-wife, the former of which has been dating a boy behind Bryan’s back and the latter going through a bitter separation from her second husband. In the four years since Taken, Neeson has kicked plenty of ass in a number of movies, so Taken 2, while solid, doesn’t really bring anything new to the table. When Taken burst onto the scene four years ago, it was amazing for a number of reasons, not the least of which was Oscar nominated actor Liam Neeson transform into one of Hollywood’s biggest action heroes. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s certainly best enjoyed with like minded friends if possible. This is one of those ultimate “movie night” flicks. If you haven’t seen Don’t Panic, you’re doing yourself a great disservice. It borders on silly, but it’s clear the screenwriter had an affinity for the fast-talking heyday of crime thrillers. All American Murder features a great script that’s heavy on the snappy dialogue. When a troubled college student becomes the number one suspect in the murder of the campus “It Girl,” he must find the actual culprit before he gets put away for good. Thankfully, for those willing to take the dive, you’ll be rewarded with a fast paced and surprisingly gory murder mystery with plenty of Giallo trappings and noir-esque banter. It draws you in with the promise of Christopher Walken but not much else. ![]() Vinegar Syndrome All American Murder (1991)Īll American Murder is the kind of generic looking thriller that cluttered video store shelves throughout the 90s.

While most security holes are fixed by software makers, you’re only protected if you actually receive the software fix. Vulnerabilities are discovered all the time and each is added to a hacker’s armoury, and they are often combined in creative ways to take over devices and steal data.
