2007-12-25 19:17:00
European cinema, more particularly French cinema boasts of the talented team of director Cédric Klapisch (http://www.cedric-klapisch.com/) and awesome actor Romain Duris (http://themovie-fanatic.com/romain_duris .htm). Duris, regarded as one of the most exciting and talented actors today, has been a regular in Klapisch film- playing the lead roles in both The Spanish Apartment (http://www.cedric-klapisch.com/index.php ?page=aubergeespagnole lang=eng) and Russian Dolls (http://www.cedric-klapisch.com/index.php ?page=lespoupeesrusses lang=eng)- two films highly successful at the box office. Now another collaboration. Says european-films.net: French director Cédric Klapisch wowed both French and international audiences with his quick-witted charmer L'auberge espagnole (The Spanish Apartment) from 2002, which introduced Romain Duris and Cécile de France to legions of new fans. The unsure student and his lesbian best friend returned for the sequel Les poupées...

A welder, a hired gun, and an almost retired sheriff walk into a West Texas town. Each of the men is running.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
2007-12-23 13:29:00
Starring: Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Sacha Baron Cohen Director: Tim Burton Release Date: December 21, 2007 Running time: 117 min MPAA Rating: R Distributors: DreamWorks Pictures - - - Review by David DiMichele - - - The color red is the only element you'll find synonymous with Sweeney Todd and its Christmas holiday release date. Red as in the color of the blood that squirts impressionistically out from the necks of the helpless victims by ways of Sweeney himself. Adapted from the Broadway musical hit that Stephen Sondheim made famous, it’s only fitting that Tim Burton, the most creative director we have today, is combined with this dark, romantic, comedic and yet terrifying script. He must’ve been licking his chops when he got his paws on Sondheim’s musical. Glad he did. The two go together perfectly. This isn’t like your stage version. Burton’s dark, creative, and comedic direction proves a perfect fit for Sondheim&rsquo...

Atonement
2007-12-23 13:21:00
Starring: James McAvoy, Keira Knightley Director: Joe Wright Release Date: December 7, 2007 Running time: 123 min MPAA Rating: R Distributors: Universal Pictures and Focus Features - - - Review by David DiMichele - - - “It’s like something out of Heaven.” -soldier The quote is referring to a scene of an Army base which is made up of thousands of soldiers, both wounded and healthy, and huge boats stationed on the ocean front of France. A soldier expresses his feelings and this quote emphasizes his comfort because he and two others have been walking clueless by themselves during WWII after being split up from their brigade. We eventually find ourselves uttering this quote during this scene because sophomore director Joe Wright (first film Pride and Prejudice) captures it as if it’s gold, and that’s exactly what it turns out to be. For a solid 5-7 minutes the camera gives us, the audience, a first person point-of-view of the base. As if we’r...

MAKING WAVES: Why we love Ben Whishaw
2007-12-22 03:56:00
I've been out to LA a couple of times but, over there, the Grenouille in me always comes to the surface. I feel completely terrified, totally flummoxed, like I don't understand what the hell is going on. I've no desire at all to go back there, says the acclaimed British actor Ben Whishaw. While many actors would do anything to become a Hollywood star, here we have someone who is, at most, reluctant to even go to Hollywood! - - - - - - His role in I'm Not There (http://themovie-fanatic.com/im_not_there .htm) is so small that many of his fans (myself included) were simply disappointed. After playing the lead in Perfume, we expected to see him taking on more challenging roles. Perhaps we'll get that satisfaction in two of his upcoming films: Brideshead Revisited (http://themovie-fanatic.com/brideshead_r evisited.htm) and Bright Star (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0810784/). Oh and he got another film coming up: The Restraint of Beasts (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0800177/)!

THE KITE RUNNER: Readers reacted negatively to NY Times review
2007-12-21 00:13:00
I always look forward to film reviews at the New York Times (http://movies.nytimes.com/movie). Aside from the intelligent take on many recent movies, the film reviewers are excellent writers- not only are the articles insightful and informative, they are also entertaining and offer unique perspectives on how films were made, how the actors portrayed the roles and other technicalities I have yet to discover about movies. One of the most awaited film (in my list, anyway and I guess in many film lovers) is The Kite Runner (http://www.kiterunnermovie.com/) and I absolutely looked forward to seeing the review at the NY Times. To my big disappointment, the reviewer Ms. Darghis failed to impress. In both novel and film form, “The Kite Runner” recounts a simple yet shrewd story about that favorite American pastime: self-improvement. Amir’s childhood mistake isn’t a careless juvenile offense; it’s a human stain that must be scrubbed out through self-abnegation...

Cashback (http://www.cashbackthemovie.com/) is so cool, so visually appealing and so damn good, I can still remember many of the scenes until now. It's been more than a week since I watched it. - - - - - - Says Ellis : I think I was always a frustrated filmmaker who worked in the medium of photography… I think these days it’s become easier to become a filmmaker because with the invention of high def or home video or DV cameras. If you’ve got an idea for a story, you can pretty much go and shoot it. Whereas fifteen or twenty years ago people weren’t into looking at home video films. I have the same feeling and gush of emotions when I watched Ditto Montiel (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1996918)'s 'A Guide to Recognizing your Saints' another awesome movie from another young filmmaker who really made waves with his film.

THE YEAR MY PARENTS WENT ON VACATION: One of Brazil's Best Films!
2007-12-19 04:18:00
For me, the movie deals with the possibilities of different ethnic groups living together in harmony, as exemplified by the soccer game between Italians, Jews and blacks. says director and writer Cao Hamburger. - - - - - - The Year My Parents Went on Vacation has been described as one of Brazil's most brilliant films. It is also their official entry into the Oscar Best Foreign Language film for 2008. What's the Movie About: In 1970 Brazil and the world seemed to have been turned upside-down, but the biggest worry in young 12 year-old Mauro’s mind had little or nothing to do with the proliferation of military dictatorships in South America or with the Vietnam war. His biggest dream was to see Brazil become the three-time winner of the World Cup.

This year is no different from previous years when the awards season swings into high gear. You may be familiar with the usual flash banners of the Oscar contenders, and the fast loading trailers giving you the sneak peaks at these 'nominees' and why they must be 'considered'. But Jason Reitman's JUNO (http://www.foxsearchlight.com/juno/) offers something different. It's not actually the first time it's been seen, but it's very cool. It's a gigya (http://www.gigya.com/site/default.aspx) widget and you can have one too! Back to Juno , the movie is getting more and more buzz and is now being compared to last year's runaway hit, Little Miss Sunshine.

I AM LEGEND smashes box office records!

Will Smith's latest movie I Am Legend smashes box office records! That's the latest news from Variety : Warner Bros.’ Will Smith starrer “I Am Legend” scored the best December opening of all time with $76.5 million over the weekend, while Fox’s live-action/CGI hybrid “Alvin and the Chipmunks” surpassed all expectations in debuting at an estimated $45 million. AND we have the review of the movie here: The main reason to see this movie is the powerful performance Will Smith gives all the way through. I guess we can call him a legend by now. It’s what Tom Hanks did in Cast Away but this one includes monstrous creatures. Smith is able to draw people in for any kind of movie - be it Wild, Wild West, Independence Day, Ali, or Pursuit of Happyness, the man just has that star power. There isn’t a shadow of a doubt that people won’t flock to see I Am Legend, in which Smith is the lone attraction (along with a loyal German shepherd)....

You may remember that the third one ended on that rather ambiguous note, but then sort of doubled-back with a pretty definitive, boxed-into-a-corner end-credit teaser. Knightley seemed to be ready for this question and had a very definitive answer. She quickly responded, with a tone of sadness and seriousness in her voice, “I can’t imagine doing another one. That was an amazing experience, really was, totally extraordinary, but I think three for me is probably enough.” That's good news, actually. The first Pirates really made such an impression and p...

But they have been working together in various film projects from the start. While Casey seems to be the 'brooding, silent' type, Ben is the exact opposite.
