"This book is the film-security x-ray device we really need: it sees through everything. Witty, caustic, passionate and wise, Hoberman treats movies as the bizarre cross-cultural phenomenon they have become in a book of critical essays that somehow manages to be a suspenseful page-turner. Film criticism at this level is deliciously close to philosophy." David Cronenberg
That sociopolitical approach is telling, because Hoberman casts his critical gaze beyond the world of film; besides weekly movie reviews, he publishes on politics and culture in the Village Voice , where most of these essays first appeared. So many of our museums, fitness studios and chefs are developing incredible virtual content and we want to shine a light on their great work while also celebrating something so special in L.
With just a simple push of a button, it glides effortlessly across your floors, sucking up dust and dirt as it goes. It's lightweight and easy to maneuver, making cleaning a breeze. Say goodbye to traditional dusting methods that often stir up dust particles and result in them settling elsewhere.
The Magic Hour — Film Review
As a homage to the American gangster flick and its Japanese spinoffs, "The Magic Hour" is theatrical and quite predictable: A bit-part actor is lured into underworld shenanigans, all the while thinking he's starring as a deadly sniper in a film.

HONG KONG — As a homage to the American gangster flick and its Japanese spinoffs, “The Magic Hour” is theatrical and quite predictable: A bit-part actor is lured into underworld shenanigans, all the while thinking he’s starring as a deadly sniper in a film.
Yet as nostalgic emulation of the heydays of the lavish studio movies, it achieves the acme of technical refinement in conjuring up a stylish, Roaring Twenties look and the charm evoked by that period.
Director Koki Mitani’s previous film, “Suite Dreams,” was holder of Japan’s top-grossing boxoffice record for a comedy. “The Magic Hour” was boxoffice champ in the first fortnight of domestic release. It was also well received in major Asian markets and thus has some ancillary potential further afield.

To enjoy the film, one must suspend disbelief that it is set in present-day Japan and be spirited away to a geographic-and-time-warp constructed in a 40,000 square foot studio set not unlike the neighborhood in “Amelie of Montmartre.”
When club manager Bingo (Satoshi Tsumabuki) is caught bedding the local kingpin’s moll, Mari (Eri Fukatsu), he earns a reprieve by promising to track down Della Togashi, an elusive sniper who boss Teshio (Toshiyuki Nishida) is dying to meet. Bingo poses as a director and hires down-and-out actor Taiko Murata (Koichi Sato) to star as Della, the deadly assassin in his made-up gangster film.
Murata swaggers onto Teshio’s turf and gets into dangerous scrapes, which he believes are just part of the ad hoc script. As Murata and Teshio continue to act and talk at cross purposes, Bingo and his ersatz crew must ad lib to save themselves.
Koki Mitani’s background in theater is evident in his script, which despite numerous character and dramatic reversals still bears the outline of a five-act play enacted in six main locations. He is prone to pushing a point whether comic or sentimental, like the repeated flashbacks of Murata’s favorite movie, but his use of double meaning in dialogue is consistently funny.
Like Mitani’s other works, “Magic Hour” is a star-studded vehicle. However, unlike “Suite Dreams,” which was an Altman-like parade of showbiz names in cameos, this film focuses more on the core characters’ development and how they bring out the best in each other.
Admittedly, it takes consummate skill to play a bad actor, but so strenuous is Koichi Sato’s attempt to ham up Murata’s performance that he risks becoming what he’s only supposed to feign. Eri Fukatsu is fine as a sultry chorus girl, but there is little substance in her character.
Hats off to veteran comedian Toshiyuki Nishida as the mafia boss. No matter how preposterous the scenario, his performance doesn’t descend into caricature. He stays low-key in the midst of high-strung reactions from his co-stars, growing in stature toward the end when confronted with a humiliating turf takeover.
