SAC Movie Preview: United 93

September 9, 2014 by Kari Jo Freudigmann

Weekly Films Every Wednesday and Sunday @ 9 pm in the PSU Theater

This week’s film is United 93.

Trailer

Summary

This is the story of the takeoff and hijacking of United Airlines Flight 93 by terrorists, the discovery by passengers with cell phones that other hijacked planes had been steered into the World Trade Center towers, and the realization that their plane was being steered toward Washington D.C.

Reviews

Greengrass takes pains to keep events believable and relatively unrhetorical, rejecting entertainment for the sake of sober reflection, though one has to ask how edifying this is apart from its reduction of the standard myths.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

This limitation in source material has had a peculiar effect on the script. Never is there a moment of repulsive sentimentality or exploitation, but neither is Greengrass able to realize an ultimate purpose.
– Stanley Kauffmann, The New Republic

… for all its shock value, it is never exploitative, and it has something important to say.
– Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

SAC Move Preview: Edge of Tomorrow

September 2, 2014 by Kari Jo Freudigmann

Weekly Films Every Wednesday and Sunday @ 9 pm in the PSU Theater

This week’s film is Edge of Tomorrow.

Trailer

Summary

The epic action of “Edge of Tomorrow” unfolds in a near future in which an alien race has hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, unbeatable by any military unit in the world. Major William Cage (Tom Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop-forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again…and again. But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy. (C) Warner Bros

Reviews

The conceit may sound constricting, but Liman (like Harold Ramis before him) gets exceptional mileage out of it, presenting his ever-revolving tale with visual style, narrative velocity, and a wonderful dose of dark humor.
– Christopher Orr, The Atlantic

This is a movie about Tom Cruise working very, very hard to please the world.
– David Haglund, Slate

Why do invading extra-terrestrials always bring with them the single thing that can wipe them out? Couldn’t they have hid it on Jupiter or something?
– Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
