IR Film Review: SIGNAL ONE [Radial]
Like "Annihilation", "Contact" or "The Arrival", good science fiction about intelligent life in the cosmos has to be done in a very specific way but with the technology we have at hand. "Signal One" from writer/director Jonathan Sobol takes quantum tech and uses it to create sounds in the air in a specific way. Isabelle Fuhrman, best known for her title role in "Orphan" takes on a very intelligent, instinctive and fascinating new role as a scientist who figures out an algorithm that can open up portals of communication.
IR Film Review: THE BEEKEEPER [MGM]
The aspect of creating a good Jason Statham film is to almost take the Statham out of the equation. Though Statham has been established as an action genre all his own, he is always at his best when he is playing a character that has an extremity of quirks all his own. With "The Beekeeper" by having David Ayer at the helm and the always dependable Kurt Wimmer writing, it is about the mythology more than the man.
