Film Noir Movies The Salesman (2017) Disney

2017 January movie releases in theaters, streaming and coming to home video. An online journal devoted to the art & culture of cinema, we set the standard for professional, high quality film-related content on the Internet. Now that 2016 is over lets take a look at our projected best movies of 2017 that will be hitting the big screen.

Lost in the Movies (formerly The Dancing Image): Twin Peaks: The Return Part 7. This Twin Peaks is a slippery beast. If you think you have a handle on its pacing, it speeds up or slows down accordingly. If you think it's going to stretch out story beats, it hurls a half- dozen major plot points - and suggestive dramatic tidbits - in scene after scene (and yet, even still, you're left hungering for more).

And halfway through the episode, when you think it has established itself as primarily as an expositional hour, with Frost's narrative twists and turns leading the way, Lynch suddenly makes room for not one, not two, but three ambient setpieces in which we linger on locations and soak in the mood. Of course, Twin Peaks was always defined by abrupt shifts in tone, and it had its fair share of slower and faster episodes, maybe even parts of episodes (though I don't think the pace ever fluctuated so sharply before). But perhaps over the years and through multiple rewatches - and other shows echoing Twin Peaks' unpredictability - we grew used to these dazzling surprises. Part 6 in particular is a thrilling reminder that despite prestige TV's vaunted imagination, there's still nothing else like Twin Peaks. I mean, sure, we saw a talking dream fish on The Sopranos but we didn't see a talking braintree popping up through the concrete like a weed to matter- of- factly hiss, . This certainly cements the Evolution of the Arm as my personal favorite character in The Return (why we see him rather than the one- armed man in this crucial moment I'm not yet sure - does the Arm handle violent incidents, while the rest of Mike takes care of mellow moments?

However, it also underscores the greatness of all the characters involved. The ferocious Ike the Spike (yes, that's really his name in the credits) is definitely a take- it- or- leave- it example of Lynch treating unusual bodies as elements of surrealism in themselves - though he'd never put it in those terms. But Christopher Zajac- Denek is so relentless that he owns the part (given his escape, we've yet to see the last of him, which is both exciting and unnerving; I hope Sonny Jim and his babysitter make it out ok.) Janey- E is also superb; she's quickly becoming one of my favorites on the show thanks to Naomi Watts' absolutely delightful performance. In a series infamous for hidden lives, characters who are not what they seem, Janey- E bears it all on the surface. Common sense and everyday pluck have never seemed so charmingly wacky.

And then of course there's ? Ah yes, finally, our Cooper back in his element! Now everything will be back to normal!

Cue the dazed- again Dougie, limply touching a badge as his wife pulls his hand away (without breaking her verbal stride for the TV camera). Forgive me if I snicker. Hope springs eternal for desperate Coop- watchers, but I for one hope this keeps going on and on.

It just feels right. In a series that sends us spiraling in unforeseen directions every week, Dougie- Coop is the one constant. He'll keep surprising us and drawing upon totems of his past, but I think in a certain sense, this is who he is now. Of course we've been over this before. Eventually (I'm guessing not for at least another two, three, maybe four or more episodes) something about this life/world will probably have to intersect with Twin Peaks, not to mention with the doppelganger.

Especially the doppelganger, whom we see a lot of during this hour: somberly but far from mournfully facing Diane, and then organizing a jailbreak - a walkout really - by playing on the warden's fears of an unknown . Strawberry.? Diane seems to think so. Super Dark Times (2017) Full Divx Movies more. As suggested last week, Diane is going to be one of our most important guides into the mystery of the double. I'm not sure how I feel about where her story is heading.

The doppelganger visited Diane in her home twenty- five years ago and she has clearly been traumatized ever since, practically spitting her former boss' name and initially refusing to meet with him until Gordon Cole gently coaxes her aboard the mission. She can barely look at the long- haired, ominous figure through the glass, even as he is calmly defiant in his proud recollection. What happened that night? Diane promises to tell Gordon when they're alone, but given the doppelganger's proclivities, Diane's visceral reaction and bitter anger, and Twin Peaks' tendency to return to the theme of sexual violence, we can probably draw a conclusion. Buy Snatched (2017) Movie. I hope I'm wrong. I am definitely not of the opinion that Twin Peaks' emphasis on rape/abuse is exploitative or that the show would better off leaving the subject behind. I think without this troubling theme, the show would feel dishonest and evasive - as it did after concluding the Laura Palmer mystery, racing off to find more manic, lightweight storylines.

That said, this just doesn't feel right to me. And not simply because it's icky to think that the hidden figure Cooper cheerfully dictated his experiences to, his professional comrade and comforting touchstone, became one of his first victims. After all, the revelation that Leland abused Laura felt much the same. But this doesn't feel icky in a constructive way. Another troubling note is sounded during a warm interview with Doc Hayward. This was Warren Frost's final appearance and, as with Catherine Coulson (Lynch's longtime friend and perhaps his longest collaborator), there's a sense here that Mark Frost found a way to bring his ailing father into the project. Sheriff Truman speaks with Doc over a charmingly rustic Skype screen, a wooden contraption that pops up out of his desk (if Twin Peaks is going to enter the twenty- first century, this is the way to do it).

Knowing that Frost died from Alzheimers earlier this year, I expected to see some gentle maneuvering around his line delivery and performance. Instead he looks fully invested, however frail, delivering important exposition as well as a classic Twin Peaks anecdote, and a corny joke for good measure: . Back to that troubling note, however.. Doc mentions that back in 1. Cooper, fully dressed, leave his room at the hospital. He suspects Coop visited Audrey Horne, who was in a coma following the bank explosion.

Truman and Doc share an unsettling moment, as if they suspect what resulted from that visit. We certainly do: though we still haven't confirmed that Richard Horne is Audrey's son, it seems increasingly likely that the doppelganger fathered him while Audrey was unconscious. I'm not thrilled with the idea that the orientation of the doppelganger is passed on to its progeny.. I'm not yet clear on when it comes to doppelgangers.)Although I've focused on a few key elements, this is a very busy hour of television. Recapping everything has never been a priority in these write- ups, but here's a quick list to remind us of what I haven't already mentioned. In South Dakota..

Hastings (though we do see that ominous black shape from a nearby jail cell shuffling through the morgue unnoticed). However, an Air Force officer arrives to confirm that the headless corpse is Major Briggs, albeit a Briggs whose recently- killed body hasn't aged a day since his first supposed death. In Vegas, Janey- E brusquely handles the local cops in her Janey- E way when they ask too many questions about Dougie's exploded car. Andy visits the home where Richard's truck is parked and the nervous resident arranges a meeting two hours hence; the man never shows and Andy's wait is intercut with ominous shots approaching the man's empty doorway. A freaked- out Jerry calls Ben from the woods to tell him that he's lost his car, doesn't know where he is, and thinks he might be high. Ben Horne's assistant Beverly Paige returns home to a very sick spouse (I wonder how many prime- time dramas have featured this many ill and/or dying characters?), whom she defensively yells at when he asks her why she was late.
