Whatever your political viewpoint, I hope we all agree that just plain suck bad movies. With this in mind, I invite you to join me in preparing to condemn the film parody that seems to be An American Carol (see trailer here), a film in which a filmmaker named Michael Malone Liberal taught the error of his ways by the ghosts of Patton, George Washington and country singer Trace Adkins as the Grim Reaper.
Now, as regular readers may have found out, my policy is at the extreme left wing of the spectrum (for American standards, all I am a Communist, in English terms, somewhere around a read more

You, however, see the ass. In yesterday’s blog I forgot to mention the presence of Kim Basinger in Guillermo Arriaga The Burning normal, but now I have to clarify things I am afraid I have nothing more to say on the matter. Or maybe someone’s ass, I imagine it would be the magic of moviesShe plays an unfaithful wife and mother who meets her lover in a filthy trailer every day, bunking off trips to buy a stuffed animal poaching. The joke going into this film was very fitting that we would see 110 minutes of screen Basinger and Charlize Theron daughter with a tug of war over an read more

Messy, noisy and a little below the market … No, that’s not an appreciation of the style director Michael Bay, but the opinion of some who hate moviegoers popcorn which complaints have been Picturehouse Cinemas, a popular chain based arthouse cinemas United Kingdom, in the opinion of management the prohibition of salt / sweet treat.
Since the Lumiere brothers caught a train’s arrival at the station of La Ciotat, film fans have been stuffing his face with the noisy lunch and now it seems that since the advent of the peas and olives, wasabi, humble nucleus days may be read more

My day was yesterday when I received a phone call was Crounel Marins, son of legendary Brazilian director José Mojica Marins, a filmmaker who had heard of many years, but knew little. Crounel had heard that I was eager to meet his father, so I arranged to meet them at 21:30, directly from a projection, and I joined them for dinnerAs I said, it is quite something, and if you think a year-old man of 72 can not be cut in the horror of the scene today … Just wait. He goes by the name of Coffin Joe, and had two big hits in the 60s at midnight I’ll Take Your Soul (1964) and This read more

The Film Festival of San Sebastian had a great, if confusing, will begin on Thursday. Sexy, flirty and fun (and screening in the sidebar Zabaltegi, no official competition), which laid the foundation for what came later, in the sense that San Sebastian is a relaxed and friendly festival that is not taken as seriously like some other festivals, including Cannes and … well, just CannesActually I was not here in time, but there was much confusion about whether Richard Eyre opened, The Other Man or Woody Allen Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Indeed, it was Eyre’s film. But if we are only read more

Last night I saw two films on the detection of terrorism here, both of them rather beautiful and experimentation in style. I can not say that I enjoyed, I actually nodded off a bit in the middle, which did not help. After Genoa, saw the fear of me, which was another movie (in part) about parenting, and after Frozen River saw my prison cell, which was the second film of the day to provide a toe tattooed. But something about this film really captured my imaginationWithout this track, God knows what would have made the remarkable film by Jaime Rosales. I’ll start with a bullet in the read more

It happens only once every three or four years: an event so glitzy, so glamorous, so jam-packed with movie stars on Oscar dwarfs and inconsequential.
We’re talking, of course, large-scale opening Walt Disney Studios on your list for the next couple of years, held today in Los Angeles at the Kodak Theatre in front of an audience of thousands, and with a cast worth millions.
And the clips from Tr2n Prince Of Persia. And the 3D presentation of Bolt. And the trailers. It was a great adventure full of real stars, with read more

Heroes began its third series last night and is now officially more lost than lost. OK, this is not cinema, but the film-esque, and has us all talking, so I wanted to share. After a second season stunted by writers strike, we hope to understand some of grip “Save the cheerleader” for action. But if the cheerleader is not needed saving, and if Sylar can be stopped by a simple lattice door, where can we go from here?
We are now blurred in the plot area, where writers shred all notes in character (if they had any), and re-write, a week at a time, losing track of what has gone read more

Fortunately I had the film to guide me, and I am now fully prepared to face any challenge in London tries to throw in my way (the way of my tractor to be exact).While riding to London from the north in the back of my father’s tractor, I worried that it might suffer a bit of culture shock and be unable to adapt to city life. Being new in a big city can be a daunting prospect.
This is what I learned from the films of Guy Ritchie
There are types of criminals who are better than others, but they are not criminals, the least.1. Everyone in London is a criminal.

I say this because the projection of Blind Loves, a Slovak documentary good working-class East European people blind, there were only eight people in attendance when I arrived, a number that is doubled with the arrival of some Arab countries in their local people pristine white-plate script. It is the Day THREE! as you can in Cannes and it used to be able to do in Venice. Indeed, if there is something “hot, chances are it is due to launch in another festival, and is worth starting with a negative, but I think the festival is trying to be a little ambitious with its programming. The read more

You know what they say is always good to try new things, leaving the usually mix things up routine and customary? There is literally no part of that last part of this last sentence that is me, except maybe for the word “friend” and “weekend.” Well, that was proven to me this weekend when I ventured to the hen from a friend for a weekend 80 in Butlins in Bognor Regis. However, I decided to give it a try and ended up having a good time entertaining - not least because the wild mix of costumed stag films and two hens who was lurking around the locality mentioned made me read more

The first I did not expect to see at all, someone from the party called and told me I had a ticket for him, so I figured it was fate and went. At the moment I’m still weighing up whether I really liked the movie or if you just took me back, but is certainly flawed but I think director Pat Holden has achieved something a bit special here. A quick break to talk about two British films at LFF this year. Carty gets its entry into the package through Elvis (Liam Boyle), a private bohemian package runs out of necessity than choice, and attempts to read more

I think I might have to see again but first turn, but this is a very absorbing drama very close to a particular period of British history, with a unique soundtrack.

Dear Mark Wahlberg,
At home, his is a name not to be despised. Magi saw the film three times, and they were fantastic. I’ve been a fan of yours for many years, probably since his break out performance in Boogie Nights. I’ve argued on many occasions and I would like to continue doing so, but you’re making my job very difficult in recent times.
” The pen is mightier than the sword, Mark Wahlberg, and the keyboard is like the pen gun. I knew I had to take action, and that is why I am writing to you here. I hope you understand that I am doing this for your read more

A quick mention of the images of Watchmen, which was published today in London. It was, in fact, only a gussied-up slasher movieI’ve been keeping the graphic novel arm’s length for years, after making the mistake of reading the hell in Prague, just before entering the studio to see what’s being filmed. I have almost no experience of comics, but something that does not respond to the work of Alan Moore and his obsession with detail: historical, philosophical and pop. From Hell is literally an epic in this regard, with its endless appendices and notes, which converge in read more
