Smith’s towering performance almost saves ‘Concussion’
‘Concussion’ tries so hard not to be a “football film” it compromises the most compelling aspects of its story

These films are bursting at the seams with car chases, gunfights, explosions, and more, much more. There isn’t a whole lot beneath the surface, but there doesn’t really need to be.
When The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air burst onto television screens in 1990, its Grammy-winning star Will Smith was bankrupt. A sitcom based around him, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air would become his saviour; a show that would catapult him back to super-stardom and his bank balance back into the black. The Will Smith of Fresh …
As Meyer deals with James’ popularity usurping hers, Dan deals with Amy making a better impression than him as a lobbyist, while Jonah deals with his physical similarity to Teddy’s other victims in another entertaining episode.
The best con artists let the rube have fun while they’re being hustled. The wonderful new scam-fest, Focus, has learned this lesson well. Of course, none of the scams hold up to later scrutiny, but they’re fun as hell when you’re in the thick of it. Like a simplified Mamet thriller hopped up on Out of Sight juice, Focus breezes by on the confident charm of Will Smith and a clever script that pays off each slight-of-hand with a masterful reveal. So far, this is easily the most entertaining Hollywood film of 2015.

Mike and Gary both face personal troubles that impede their job performance, as Meyer gains new contempt for her team in a compelling episode.
Certain characters undergo major shakeups as the third season of Veep sets off a new path for Selina Meyer and her staff, in a hilarious episode.
Selina admitting knowledge of the CIA spy last week came at the heels of a season-long campaign where she has ended up on the losing end of most political matters without having any say in the decision. Becoming the public face of accountability for atleast one of the government’s scandals thus gave her the ability to control the narrative in atleast one situation. The season’s penultimate episode this week sees Selina try to take further control of her political career as she realises her role in the current administration, in an episode that continues to be funny while still managing to effectively move the characters forward.
The advertising campaign for the film After Earth has completely omitted the name of its director, M. Night Shymalan. That’s unusual, because a director who’s had a couple of recent bombs isn’t that big a problem. Anybody can come back from a slump, and many directors have. More intrinsic problems such as a bad script, are much more likely to doom a movie, and they nearly do for After Earth.

Men in Black 3 Written by Etan Cohen Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld USA, 2012 Though it’s merely a somewhat unnecessary echo of the 1997 original, Men in Black 3 manages to be moderately entertaining. After a four-year hiatus from the big screen, Will Smith returns as Agent J of the MIB extraterrestrial task force, trying …
Any fans who have been waiting the last 9 years for another sequel to Men in Black will have to wait a little longer. A script for Men in Black III was commissioned in 2009 and the movie was officially greenlit last year. Principal production began in November after a few bumps in the road, …
