Chronicle

Chronicle is the latest movie to use the found footage style, blending it with the superhero subgenre to mixed results. Because we're so familiar with the limitations of the camera in films like this, when the movie breaks that mold - and it does this fairly often - it makes those sequences seem incredibly impressive. But ultimately Chronicle fails to achieve anything more than a few successful tricks here and there; it's passable entertainment, sure, but if you're buying into the hype surrounding the film, I'd encourage you to lower your expectations.

Director: Josh Trank
Starring: Dane DeHaan, Alex Russell, Michael B. Jordan

Margaret

Shot between 2004 and 2006, Margaret was acquired by Fox Searchlight and set for a 2007 release. Writer/director Kenneth Lonergan toiled for years in the editing room, causing lawsuits and all kinds of other drama over the missed release date. Eventually, Martin Scorsese and his longtime editor Thelma Shoonmaker were able to trim the movie down to the studio-mandated two and a half hour run time, but Lonergan wanted a three hour cut and still claims this finished version isn't his true vision for the film. Finally dumped unceremoniously for a one-week run in theaters in 2011, Margaret is being revived for a brief run at the Cinefamily Theater in Los Angeles this week, and I couldn't resist seeing what all the fuss was about.
