A New York Winter’s Tale (aka Winter’s Tale) review: cold in the city

Thu, Feb 20, 2014
9 comments

A leaden, charmless movie that is unable to commit to its own fantasy. So implausible that even Colin Farrell’s own Irish accent sounds fake.

question of the day: Why have the works of Isaac Asimov had such a singularly bad record of getting turned into movies?

I’d venture to guess that Asimov’s name is synonymous with science fiction even among the general public who don’t read. It seems like a no-brainer for Hollywood to glom on to Asimov’s reputation to pre-sell films. So why hasn’t it?

It’s still a not very good movie. But… It’s still Star Wars.
