Open Channel D: The Man From UNCLE Affair

"Inside Out"  was No. 1 for movie digital sales and rentals from Nov. 23 to Nov. 29, 2015, according to Rentrak. Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it's no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions: Joy (voiced by Amy Poehler), Fear (voiced by Bill Hader), Anger (voiced by Lewis Black), Disgust (voiced by Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (voiced by Phyllis Smith). (...)  Pixar Studios/Disney "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." was No. 2. At the height of the Cold War, a mysterious criminal organization plans to use nuclear weapons and technology to upset the fragile balance of power between the United States and Soviet Union. CIA agent Napoleon Solo (played by Henry Cavill) and KGB agent Illya Kuryakin (played by Armie Hammer) are forced to put aside their hostilities and work together to stop the evildoers in their tracks. The duo's only lead is t...

By Tom Russo  GLOBE CORRESPONDENT   NOVEMBER 14, 2015 The best parts of  “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.”  (2015) are over so quickly, you’ll want to watch on DVD so that you can give them an extra look. That’s not a knock against Guy Ritchie’s feature version of the old TV espionage favorite. It’s just that for all the energy poured into recapturing and heightening the ’60s cool of secret agents Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill) and Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer), their coolest moments come when their interplay takes a backseat to freneticism. The movie boasts a handful of shootout and chase sequences in which perspectives spontaneously zoom in and out, images slide together and fragment into a split-screen array, and the soundtrack percussively thrums like “Birdman” on fast-forward. Typically when we see action this hyper-edited, the filmmakers are trying to mask stodgy footage with a sense of manufactured urgency, never mind how visually unintelligible the fin...

The Man from U.N.C.L.E (Blu-ray/DVD combo) Warner Bros. 2 stars (out of five) This retake on the famous 1960s’ TV show about a pair of mismatched American and Russian CIA/KGB agents is disappointingly dull. Though the movie is high on production values — exotic locations, vintage cars and stylish fashions from that era — the script is predictable and there isn’t a character in it worth caring about. Henry Cavill (as Napoleon Solo) and Armie Hammer (as Illya Kuryakin) might be chiseled hunks, but they don’t have the chemistry and charm of the TV show’s stars, Robert Vaughn and David McCallum. Indeed, the movie’s attempted humour is feeble. These hostile adversaries are teamed by their respective countries to stop a criminal group intent on acquiring a nuclear weapon that would threaten the U.S. and Soviet Union. Director Guy Ritchie trots out the obligatory punch-ups, car chases, boat chases, gunfights with the bad guys etc (done much better by the James Bond franchi...
