Anoushik Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 I just returned from seeing Finding Neverland. A very sad but beautiful picture. I went with my mom and brother. For weeks my mom wanted to go see it; she loves Johnny Depp. No wonder. He is a true actor and he was great in this movie. I think this movie is very much worth seeing. It's rarely that we get to experience such humanity in movies. PS. The theater was almost empty. I loved it. From now on I should wait until almost everyone's seen the movie so that the theater will be empty. It makes everything more personal and special.

Azat Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Sideways 8+/10 For those of you who love wine and those who have been to wine tasting up in Santa Ynez Valley or if you are interested in going to a great wine tasting adventure close to LA(2 hours) you have to see this great movie. The movie is about a guy who is going to get married to and Armenian lady and his long time buddy and he make a trip up in the Santa Ynez Valley for one last shindig. They meet two ladies there and get involved with them and... I wont give the ending but definitely a great movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siamanto Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Time Out January 05, 2005 'Subtitles: on the Foreignness of Film' Edited by Atom Egoyan and Ian Balfour MIT Press, Alphabet City Media GBP 22.95; Books: Preview Few filmmakers are as curious about the nature, role and effect of images as Atom Egoyan. Whether in his singular features (from 'Family Viewing' through 'The Adjuster' and 'Exotica' to 'The Sweet Hereafter' and 'Ararat') or his gallery installations, he has consistently investigated the implications of looking, of the gaze both loving and surveilling, and explored the psychology and technologyof a society fascinated by ocular pleasures and prohibitions. Couple that with his biography Armenian by ethnicity but born in Cairo and living in Toronto and you have a sensibility perfectly placed to take on the titular enquiry of this handsomely designed (in cinematic 1.66:1 ratio) 550page volume. The claim Egoyan and academic Ian Balfour make is that 'every film is a foreign film, foreign to some audience somewhere, and not simply in terms of language'. Indeed, this sense of difference is perhaps central to cinema itself, creating as it does both intimacy and distance in its viewing. Egoyan and Balfour take subtitles as their point of departure for a consideration of how film works both to bridge divides while still offering an 'otherness'. So, among the two dozen contributions, poetic and playful, theoretical and experiental, are essays by Borges, Frederic Jameson and Slavoj Zizek; writing on Kiarostami, CNN and Jarman's 'Blue' and interviews with ClaireDenis and Isaac Julien, alongside a number of artists' portfolios. It's an invigorating, widescreen experience, celebrating the medium's diverse aesthetic potentials, but also arguing for a reconsideration of how the Western media portrays the majority world. As the editors say, 'What we need are subtitled images not an embedded journalist's commentary that extend, rather than preclude, the possibility of relating to others.'

vava Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Hotel Rwanda 9/10 Plot Outline: Don Cheadle stars in the true-life story of Paul Rusesabagina, a hotel manager who housed over a thousand Tutsis refugees during their struggle against the Hutu militia in Rwanda. source: IMDB I loved it - a gripping, emotional story-that-no-one-told type of film, based on a true story. I've seeb Cheadle mostly in supporting roles, but he carried this movie. I think he should be up for some awards as a result of his performance. I don't think it's possible to convey to an audience what it would be like to live through the types of horrors that occured in Rwanda, but I think this was as close as you could get.

Nané Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 (edited) I watched The Dreamers last Friday night. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I was drunk and made people laugh during a movie like that. I slept through the second half, so I can't rate it. Sorry. style_images/master/snapback.png Watched it today. There were some incredible shots, loved the American/European mentality contrast. Was not too crazy about the incest.

Nané Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 "Closer" shows today's relationship between a man and a woman, when one is not dependent financially on the other and the emphasis of the relationship is on love and chemistry. Other than that the movie was OK. It was definitely entertaining style_images/master/snapback.png Is that all there was to it? Love and chemistry? The same can be said about most of Hollywood romance movies. But for some reason I come out of the theater feeling ... baffled/frustrated/depressed/cheated ... drained. It really shook me up and worst of all, I can't tell exactly why. What my inside is feeling my brain cannot process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasun Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 I recenlty saw an excellent movie on the TV, "The Birdman of Alcatraz". Has anyone seen it? According to the movie the story is real, kind of hard to believe. Does anyone know this story, is it a true story? I also liked "The Shawshank Redemption" a lot, I wonder if that movie is a real story. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
