The Unholy Trinity has a lot going for it. First, there's Pierce Brosnan, who has matured into a character actor that consistently delivers some of the most interesting work of his entire career. Then there's Samuel L. Jackson, who seems visibly delighted to be in another western. Even David Arquette, no stranger to westerns himself, provides an interesting and unconventional performance. The natural majesty of Montana, with its snow-capped mountains and wide-open vistas, is a perfect setting for a tale of revenge and greed, with the seasonal backdrop of winter providing visual distinction from the many dusty oaters that take place in arid deserts and harkening back to such classics as Robert Altman's McCabe and Mrs. Miller .  Unfortunately--and it pains me to write this-- The Unholy Trinity simply doesn't work. Many of the elements for success are here, but without a cohesive story, it never quite comes together. The plot of the film is confusing and needlessly convo...

Lilo and Stitch is the latest in what has become a long line of "live action" remakes of Disney animated classics, a blatant attempt by the House of Mouse to inject some fresh life back into properties that were once successful, but that might have cooled over the years. With Disney, everything in their storied history is fodder for a remake or sequel. Bob Iger, the divisive head of the company, calls this "IP mining," which is every bit as cold and calculating as it sounds. Now, just a couple of months after Disney's new refresh of Snow White , they turn their attention to one of the most beloved properties of the last 25 years.  This new version of Lilo and Stitch is fun and heartwarming, but also completely forgettable. Certain elements of the production, such as the aliens that pursue Experiment 626 (played here by Zach Galifianakis and Billy Magnussen) don't really lend themselves to live action, so these characters are therefore "in disguise...

Not too long ago, I heard an interview with Oscar-nominated filmmaker James Mangold in which he described "plot" as the enemy of storytelling. Of course, plot is required in any story, but Mangold explains that it can also be a barrier to exploring the characters, their motivations, and their relationships. You want your story to have just enough plot to give your characters momentum, then to stay out of the way and let your characters thrive. Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning contains so much plot that frequently draws the story to a complete and total halt. The first major action scene in the movie occurs at close to the 90-minute mark. In the entire 169 minute film, there are two major action scenes and two big set pieces--one on a submarine, and another with prop planes. The rest of the movie--the other half--is simply characters running from point A to point B and then delivering exposition when they get there. You see, in order to stop something terrible from h...

JOSH JABCUGA: Matt, this is our third interview for Cereal at Midnight. Last time we talked, almost three years ago , your novelization of William Malone's Scared to Death   was published.  Since then, Vinegar Syndrome Press put out a lavish edition of your novel Madman , which is based on the screenplay of the rather notorious movie. Next up, on May 20th, your novel Feeders , which is already garnering early buzz and strong word of mouth, is being released by Gallery Books. This is your tenth novel , and if I'm not mistaken, the first being released by a major publisher. First off, congrats on the milestone and all your success. Without spoilers, what can you tell us about the genesis of Feeders ? MATT SERAFINI: Thanks, Josh. Always appreciate the conversation, my friend. You are correct that Feeders is my tenth book and my first with a traditional publisher, Simon & Schuster’s Gallery Books. It’s been a blast to work with them.  And it’s funny, when y...
