Namely: she’s broke and needs to get married, ideally not to a poor soldier like Christian. The sequence is exhilarating and the film’s pace does not slow from there. Soon enough we cut above the action, taking in the pier and the seas that surround it. Christian breaks into song and the camera runs away, darting through the regiment training on the pier. “I will make you eloquent while you make me handsome,” Cyrano explains, convinced they do not live in a world wherein someone like him could be with someone like her. He will write beautiful poetry as correspondence to Roxanne (Haley Bennett) from Christian-who lacks the words-thereby espousing his own love for the same woman. As a military regiment practices their swordcraft on a stunning pier in Sicily the titular Cyrano de Bergerac (Peter Dinklage) crafts an agreement with new recruit Christian (Kelvin Harrison Jr.). There is a moment forty minutes into Joe Wright’s Cyrano where everything kicks up a notch. He’s getting over a recent break-up and working with the younger brother of the friend that used to be his partner. We follow Noel (Kentucker Audley), who’s selling Christmas trees on a Manhattan curb for the fifth winter in a row. This is the feeling Christmas, Again wades in, as produced, written and directed by Charles Poekel. While the adventure certainly loses a bit of its magic on home viewing, I, like many, will be revisiting it before heading into The Way of Water.Ĭhristmas time is a lonely time for many a “time of giving” that reminds more than a few of us what we’ve lost.

Their exact words were, 'We want to make the sequel.' But getting it from there into movie theaters is going to be a long fucking road.Each week we highlight the noteworthy titles that have recently hit streaming platforms in the United States. government seized the property and arrested the CFO of The Shooting Gallery, the production company who made the first 'Strangeland.' So I was in court fighting to get my property back for 5 fucking years! I did finally get it back this past year and now Lions Gate Entertainment says that they'd like to pick it up. In an interview with Metal Sludge he tells them that he wants to make a Strangeland sequel. Well Snider isn’t done with his quest to become a horror genre icon. The movie only made $2 million in 1998, today that would probably be 10 or 20, depending on how much gore they slipped past the censors.
