THE POLITICIANS’ HOUR
"Principles only mean anything when we stick by them when they’re inconvenient," says Senator Laine Hanson (Joan Allen) in Rod Lurie’s political thriller The Contender. She should know. In that film, the poor Democratic senator is grilled by a Republican inquisitor with a bad hairdo (a venom-spitting Gary Oldman) who wants to prevent at all costs her being confirmed as the next Vice President of the United States.

It is also riveting, earnest, dishonest, moving, irritating, out-of-control paranoid, and, more frequently than one might expect, outright brilliant. In sum, Oliver Stone’s 1991 political thriller about a determined district attorney’s [...]

HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN – Daniel Radcliffe
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
Direction: Alfonso Cuarón

Cast: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Gary Oldman, David Thewlis, Robbie Coltrane, Michael Gambon, Richard Griffiths, Alan Rickman, Fiona Shaw, Maggie Smith, Timothy Spall, Emma Thompson, Julie Walters, Julie Christie, Pam Ferris
Alfonso Cuarón may seem like an odd choice for director of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the third installment of the Harry Potter series — if one thinks only of Cuarón’s sleeper hit, the Truffaut-esque Y tu mamá también, while ignoring two of his earlier efforts, the critically acclaimed A Little Princess and the moderately respected Great Expectations.
This time around, working with a reported $130 million budget, state-of-the-art [...]
