‘The Iron Claw’ uneven tale of wrestling family

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 12:14:21 GMT

Writer-director Sean Durkin has become perhaps by accident an auteur of wrecked families with such films as “Martha Macy May Marlene” (2011), TV’s “Southcliffe” (2013) and “The Nest” (2020). He continues to explore them in “The Iron Claw,” a film I had a hard time taking seriously because it insists on presenting professional wrestling as a genuine competitive sport.Based on the true story of the Von Erich family originally of Texas, “The Iron Claw” asks us what to think of a father of four sons who is happy to rank them to their faces. Fritz Von Erich (the always impressive Holt McCallany in a problematic role), whose real last name is Adkisson, is the patriarch of a professional wrestling family. The “iron claw” of the title is a wrestling move invented by Von Erich with which you grab your opponent by the head, placing your hand on his face and using your thumb and middle fingers to grasp the temples and squeeze. I’m skeptical, but I’ll take it on trust. Fritz h...

Editorial: Harvard holds president to different, double standard

Franks: Colorado ruling could boost Trump momentum

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 12:14:21 GMT

The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that former President Donald Trump will not be allowed on the ballot in the state due to his alleged breaking of the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment.The clause was meant to prevent Jefferson Davis, among other confederate leaders, from seeking political office again following the Civil War. Trump has already appealed and the case will be taken up in the U.S. Supreme Court for a historic ruling.When the judicial branch of government attempts to surpass its boundaries by pushing for hurried trials by federal prosecutors and canceling a candidate (Trump) from the ballots, it can and will have the opposite intended effect: It will likely give Trump a political surge.The best way to make Trump “go away” is to beat him at the polls in the Republican primaries. Correction: The only way you get rid of him is to fairly beat him in those races. Got it.Trump is making the election not about his policies but about the unprecedented treatment he has...

‘Fallen Leaves’ a charming Finnish romance

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 12:14:21 GMT

“Fallen Laves,” the Finnish entry for best international feature film this year, is the latest film from deadpan romantic minimalist Aki Kaurismaki (“The Match Factory Girl,” “The Man Without a Past”). The charming little effort makes a “meta” case for romance on the big screen and in our little lives and how the two interact. Ansa (Alma Poysti), the film’s romantic heroine, is a not very young worker at a Helsinki market, who gets canned for taking expired food headed for the garbage bin. Ansa lives alone in a small flat. Holappa (Jussi Vatanen), the film’s unlikely hero, drinks at work, where, dressed in a kind of primitive spacesuit, he sandblasts metal. Yes, it’s a hellish way to make a living, which might be why Holappa drinks while doing it. He gets caught boozing and gets fired. For a second, you might think the film is set in Communist Russia. The two characters suggest a pair of crushed proletariat types.“Fallen Leaves” exists in a kind of permanent past, ...
