“Time Is a Mother” by Ocean Vuong (Penguin Press)Life’s aftermath ebbs and flows throughout Ocean Vuong’s poetry collection “Time Is a Mother.” An ode to his mother’s passing, Vuong orbits the contours of grief, embedding them into clausal configurations and juxtaposed tones. These structures are reflected in Vuong’s themes of time and place, parent and child, nation and individual, and strength and weakness as he unfolds the logic of loss.In “Snow Theory,” the poet lies in his mother’s outline in the snow, “something being destroyed in a blizzard.” In “Beautiful Short Loser,” he wears her wedding dress backwards in the street as he plays air guitar.
“Dear Rose” recounts the violence that has shaped his mother’s life while uncovering the way language comes alive through visceral experience.Though grounded in the loss of his mother, Vuong branches out to trace other instances of departure. Loss is a peaceful release, a sudden shift.
His friend’s top surgery that makes them more whole, the fish with the narrator’s face before it swims away, a loaf of rye bread rising out of itself. Loss is fleeting transition.
Loss is a violent transition, too. A dreamed car crash reveals Vuong’s desire to be closer to his father; still shots of the people of his home nation Vietnam insinuate the proximity between their life and death; the oversized outfits his relatives wear reminiscent of a country that no longer exists; his uncle’s suicide conveyed as a purposeful death.Retrogression, lists and notes structure some of Vuong’s words, but the poet's linguistic ferocity illuminates his mother's spirit from the rays of memory.

In a post-shutdown theatrical market where box office success has been defined by films that won the interest of men under 35, “The Lost City” has renewed hope that audiences in other demographics will show up to theaters even during the pandemic when studios offer quality material that isn’t a big blockbuster. It’s also a victory for one of the film’s stars, Channing Tatum, who already drew strong turnout from women last month with his previous film “Dog” and like that title was heavily involved in social media promotion for “The Lost City.” With stars like Tatum and Sandra Bullock in lead roles, Daniel Radcliffe and Brad Pitt in supporting positions and plenty of on-location shooting, “The Lost City” had a much bigger production budget than most romantic comedies with a reported $68-70 million spend and still has work to do to reach theatrical profitability.
Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterSandra Bullock and Channing Tatum’s screwball romantic comedy “The Lost City” collected $31 million at North American theaters over the weekend, a promising sign that Netflix hasn’t completely seized on the meet-cute market.Of course, Paramount, which is behind “The Lost City,” did not rely only on positive reviews — or the tease of Tatum’s bare behind — to fuel ticket sales. The on-screen chemistry between Bullock and Tatum, who were inescapable on social media, billboards and in trailers while promoting the film, were key in getting audiences to cinemas.
“The Lost City” is set to both honor the ‘author-becomes-adventurer’ trope and add to it by calling back to the action-romance genre. Sandra Bullock follows in the footsteps Jodie Foster’s agoraphobic author in “Nim’s Island” (2008) and Brooke Shields’ romance writer Sophie in “A Castle for Christmas” (2021) as she plays a romance novelist who gets lost on her own adventure with a cover model.

“The Lost City,” the new “Romancing the Stone”-ish adventure starring Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum, perhaps more than any other – how much is Brad Pitt in this thing?Pitt’s casting was announced in the spring of 2021 and initially reported as merely a cameo. But when the first trailers for “The Lost City,” which follows a romance novelist (Bullock) who is kidnapped by an unscrupulous tycoon (Daniel Radcliffe) and teams up with her cover model (Tatum) to uncover a real treasure, were released, Pitt was front and center.
Jon Burlingame editorIt’s a big weekend for composer Pinar Toprak.

The first big studio wide release in three weeks, Paramount’s The Lost City, kicked off at 3,400 theaters yesterday at 4PM for a $2.5M take. I understand that number doesn’t include any of the previous weekend Fandango previews or those at the AMC earlier in the week. The movie is expected to hit $25M, but it would not be shocking if it lands in the $30M-range. Rotten Tomatoes reviews are at 75% fresh.
WARNING: Spoilers ahead for “The Lost City”“The Lost City,” now in theaters and soon to be streaming on Paramount+, may be based on a fictional romance novel but, like any good adventure, it leaves room for a sequel.In fact, as the film suggests, the story of Loretta Sage (Sandra Bullock) and Alan (Channing Tatum) could be the beginning of a brand new franchise. Together they end up on a massive treasure hunt — albeit somewhat begrudgingly in Bullock’s character’s case — across the world. It’s filled with romance, comedy, and of course, a semi-twist ending.But we won’t spoil that part.
