The Pentecostal churches and the charismatic movement emphasize both baptism in the Spirit and the Spirit's continuing post-conversion
work, which may be seen in external signs such as speaking with tongues, healing and exorcism, which is the

Featuring a strong ensemble
cast and solid camera
work, the film starts
out as one kind
of story before metamorphosing into a bittersweet tale
of retribution that never fails to engage.
There's similarly little doubt that the film benefits substantially from the above - average efforts
of its various stars, with Hemsworth and Brühl's stand -
out work complemented by a supporting
cast that includes, among others, Stephen Mangan, Christian McKay, and Olivia Wilde.
Most
of the behind - the - scenes features are
of the typical effusive praise, Hollywood circle jerk variety, as we've told over and over again how honored everyone was to
work with each other and words like «brilliant», «visionary», and «genius» are trotted
out to describe everyone in the
cast and crew.
Billy Crudup, playing Dr. Zimbardo, is the most recognizable name in the
cast, and he does nice
work portraying a man who, as the experiment spirals
out of control, is torn between protecting the students and protecting his research.
Beyond that and solid supporting
work from the rest
of the
cast, there's not much that stands
out about Breaking In.
You should see The Post because it's an engrossing and rewarding drama told exceptionally well by a fine ensemble
cast and one
of the great filmmakers putting

work in ages.

Anna Kendrick, Stephen Merchant, Wyatt Russell, June Squibb, Lisa Kudrow, Tony Revolori, and Craig Robinson round
out this hodgepodge
of a
cast that
works very well together on screen.
The addition
of a new family in Jarden / Miracle, the Murphys — headed by strong new
cast members Kevin Carroll and recent Emmy - winner Regina King — is reason enough to tread lightly and see if Lindelof, et al, have
worked out some
of the kinks when it comes to pacing and payoff.
Initially the story
of a pro sports scout might not lend itself to intriguing fare, but it all
works, and all credit should go to Cameron's vision and the quality
cast around him, especially in Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding Jr. for going all
out in their respective performances, which rank among their best
work to date.
In 2009 she joined the
cast of the series Mercy, and continued to
work on the big - screen in projects like 17 Again, Cop
Out, and Take Me Home Tonight.
If co — writer - directors Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (viral - video sensations credited as Daniels) had built the ensuing movie
out of such desperate dream sequences interposed with Hank's crushing reality, Swiss Army Man might have
worked as an unhinged
Cast Away for millennials.
Because this movie started
out as a play with the same
cast, all four actors have
worked over every facet
of their characters so carefully that each gesture and intonation has weight — nothing is an accident or a throwaway.
But while the new
cast, like Martin Freeman and Richard Armitage were well chosen, the pacing was off, and instead
of the clever condensing that
worked so well to wrestle «Lord
of the Rings» down into a rich trilogy that lived beyond its frames, we get the padding
out of a book that's less than a quarter the length.
But while director Oliver Hirschbiegel («DasExperiment») very effectively takes youdeep inside Nazi Germany's crumbling heart and brings many infamous momentsacutely to life, his film doesn't offer much in the way
of new insight.The script is more
of a textbook play - by - play than an examination
of impulsesand psyches, and while the Hirschbiegel and his
cast add those dimensionsthrough their fine
work, it seems the only way he could invest the audiencein these events was by seeking
out a sympathetic minor character — inthe person
of Hitler's young secretary, Traudl Junge (Alexandra Maria Lara)-- and beef up her significance.
The remaining
cast members are all good (perhaps not stand -
out but solid supporting
work), but their roles and action within the film really should remain hidden because
of how they're revealed.
Craig deserves a lot
of credit for the amount
of actual stunt
work carried
out himself but the rest
of the
casting feels a little too popular rather than right for the character.
It's not the most complicated story
out there, and it's certainly not the most mature selection you're going to find on the Blockbuster shelves, yet somehow Sandler and the rest
of the
cast make it
work.
Rounding
out the
cast are the ever - reliable Brie Larson (Short Term 12) as Amy's younger sister, Kim, and comedian Mike Birbiglia (Sleepwalk with Me) as Kim's husband, but they are as much a part
of what
works in the film as a part
of the problem.
The
casting of twitchy Ethan Hawke as the burnt -
out copper defending his snowbound station
works effortlessly well.
Mazursky records a full - length commentary that's a sufficiently hearty blend
of personal insight, behind - the - scenes anecdotes, shout -
outs to
cast and crew, and plain old unbridled enjoyment over his own
work.
«And neither
of those
casting things wound up lasting or
working out.
The
work from the others (Michael Keaton, John Slattery, Rachel McAdams, Liev Schreiber, Brian d'Arcy James) is just as outstanding, and it seems odd to single
out any
of the actors if the entire
cast can't take the stage in February.
The
cast is what helps to make it
work, from Meryl Streep chewing the scenery like it's going
out of fashion as the unhinged, cancer - stricken, pill - popping head
of the family and the aforementioned Roberts (both
of whom have received an Oscar nomination for their respective performances) to the likes
of Benedict Cumberbatch, Chris Cooper and Margo Martindale who all feel very much perfectly
cast when
casting is so important for a film like this.
«Well,» he said, «as we wrap up production I just want to take this moment to thank an incredibly talented
cast and crew for all their hard
work, and to the fans
out there, I hope you've been enjoying the pictures, pictures that I've taken from the set
of... can we even say the name
of the movie?»
Soderbergh still knows how to pull off well - crafted heist scenes; get great
work out of his ensemble
cast, though we'll single
out Daniel Craig and Riley Keough; and his ability to embed class - consciousness in his entertainment without making it a college - course lecture is still there.
Having somehow amassed an embarrassingly overqualified
cast, director David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada, Marley & Me) embraces the schematic structure: Howard gets two scenes with each
of the
out -
