Otar, a medical schoolgirl from the latest Soviet Republic of Georgia, has left the bleak, crumbling burg of Tiblisi where he grew up, to continue in Paris. Left behind, and living together in a cramped apartment, are his doting mother Eka (Esther Gorintin) who believes he can do no disgraceful, his sister Marina (Nino Khomassouridze) and Marina’s daughter, Ada (Dinara Droukarova). When the news of Otar’s sudden death reaches Marina and Ada they decide not to tell the oldish Eka fearing the news would be too much for her. Instead, Ada writes letters pretending they are from Otar, depicting a happy, well-heeled life. But Eka misses her adored son and, to the horror of Ada and Marina, decides that the three women should go to Paris to visit him.

Independence Day (1996)

Filed under: Uncategorized — villagersfriday @ 10:58 am

Enactment I is an Anarchists’ Ball. Massive metal spaceships loom over the cities of the world. The destruction of the White Lodge is just for starters. Annihilation of the human race is on the agenda. US President Pullman, a wimp ex-fighter jock, listens to communications expert Goldblum (only in a Rupert Murdoch film could a TV exec save the world!). Act II, the survivors regroup at a secret military bad in Revitalized Mexico to organise Act III, the fightback. Emmerich’s ball-buster is an list of American populist fantasy. Taking subtext. This scrappy, spectacular, juvenile remake of War of the Worlds and 101 other sci-fi movies can be taken at arrive value. It’s not relative to Them, it’s about US: At least this America is strongly pluralist; it’s infernal (Smith as the stupendous top gun); it’s Jewish (Goldblum and Hirsch as humorous relief); it’s even a little bit feminine - still Fierstein, Margaret Colin, et al, are really just emotional punctuation marks. The politics cut both ways, balancing pro- and anti-government impulses with Pullman as a remotely Clinton-esque form in the middle, pacifist by proclivity, warrior by experience. Everything feels anti-climactic after the fireworks, but the right is clear: it’s the end of the world as we know it. And we feel fine.

Alice Faye’s movie career was …

Filed under: Uncategorized — villagersfriday @ 7:48 am

Alice Faye’s movie occupation was optimistic enough to make her Fox’s garnish singing star in the behindhand 1930s and early 1940s, but minuscule enough that few of her pictures are as authoritatively regarded as those made by her contemporaries. An attempt to transpose from frothy musicals to life-or-death dramas didn’t fully run, and after a falling into the open air with Fox honcho Daryl F. Zanuck, Faye shroud up quitting the movie business in 1945; she soon after moved to air alongside husband Phil Harris. Stop-and-go returns to the gauge followed, but not in any degree to the level of stardom she had in the late 30s.

Fox has already released her best known works on DVD: “In Old Chicago” and “Alexander’s Ragtime Band,” both with Tyrone Power, were part of of the “Studio Classics” in harmony, while her return to the prominent telly in the 1962 remake of “State Fair” was included as a hand-out on the two-discer for the 1945 Jeanne Crain/Dana Andrews version. A box set of four more films (”On the Avenue,” “Lillian Russell,” “That Night in Rio,” and “The Gang’s All Here”) hit store shelves matrix year. Now comes “Alice Faye Collection: Volume 2,” in which three of the star’s nostalgia-themed musicals - “Rose of Washington True,” “The Great American Televise,” and “Hello, Frisco, Hello” - are bundled with two oddball inclusions: “Hollywood Cavalcade,” a non-lilting that otherwise fits the factual melodrama study of the clout, and “Four Jills in a Jeep,” a WWII effort in which Faye makes a cameo performance. Passing “Jills” slack as an Alice Faye picture would be have a fondness marketing “Ocean’s Eleven” as a Topher Goodwill drawing.

All five titles in this new set are also available severally. As such, we’ll look at them individually. Inasmuch as the confine set, the discs are repackaged in slim cases, which fit into a glossy cardboard slipcover. A ten-used of an adult bellboy booklet is also included, featuring many liner notes on all five films.

“Rose of Washington Square” (1939)

“Rose of Washington Square” is a thinly veiled biopic of Fanny Brice and her troubled soft-pedal Nicky Arnstein - so thinly masked, the veil could decent as well have been wax paper. Faye, as Brice clone Rose Sargent, identical sings two of Brice’s signature tunes, “My Man” and “Rose of Washington Square.” (Brice sued Fox, who ultimately settled out of court.)

It’s Green York City at the level of vaudeville. Ted Cotter (Al Jolson) and Rose maintain a double thing they’d love to take to the conceitedly beforehand - he does some blackface troubadour, she woos the crowd with her soft romantic tunes. In between them comes con confine Barton Clinton (Tyrone Power). Ted, who’s been something of a surrogate pastor to Rose, never trusts this new guy, but she can’t help falling madly in mate. Ted and Rose wind up going their disunite ways, and both go on to find celebrity, although Rose’s stardom in the Ziegfeld Follies is threatened when Barton’s criminal life creates a scandal.

As with most films in this rate, the plot of “Washington Square” is all too flimsy, the characterizations all too undercooked. The movie is merely an excuse to scrap together a series of nostalgic lilting numbers. Ah, but what musical numbers they are. Regardless of the embarrassment of blackface, Jolson’s exhibit performances are lively and engaging, snappy reworkings of the tunes most associated with him: “Mammy,” “California Here I Come to pass,” and “Rock-A-Bye Your Baby.” In fact, ignoring giving Faye foremost billing, “Washington Square” is more Jolson’s show, his character stuffing up more screen time and carrying the bulk of the plot’s emotional drive. An absolute section in the movie’s middle goes by with Rose nowhere to be found as we focus in lieu of on Ted’s rising theater career.

(Several large sequences are nothing but Jolson doing his stage shtick. He steady pulls out his trademark “You ain’t heard nothin’ besides!” at one sharp end, for those in the audience with fond memories of the creation of talkies a decade earlier. In this generation before goggle-box and adept in video, when most movies would get filed away after their main hoof it, studios could get away with “rerunning” outstanding example bits in fashionable films.)

Of course, Faye’s apogee billing means she gets her own chance to show off, too, with distinct elucidate-stoppers. Most oddly, her take on “Washington Square” becomes a eminent, brassy stage number involving a crew of dancers, a lavishly full “city street” calibrate, and an amusing bit of slight-of-hand involving pulling cigarettes from thin allied.

Without the harmonious appoint pieces, the film is a decent but unmemorable tearjerker. With them, the film is a delightful backstage melodrama. Faye and Jolson are enjoyable throughout, and Power, while stuck with a slightly underwritten role, pulls off plenty of a roguish vibe to make Barton’s villain ways charming.

Like a slowly burning fuse, T…

Filed under: Uncategorized — villagersfriday @ 12:14 pm

Like a slowly burning combine, Tariq Teguia’s highly accomplished coming out, “Rome Rather Than You,” gradually assembles a bitter, caustic expectation of how desperately some young Algerians want to get the hell doused of their country. An stimulating case study of a North African filmmaker riveting the influences of independent Chinese sheet, particularly Jia Zhangke’s ahead hither similarly alienated Sino minor, the seven-years-in-development project rewards the patient viewer with a striking piece of cinema. With major fest tour already well second to way, the next escalate into commercial play resolve be more hard, nevertheless not impossible, with nurturing distribs’ help.

Teguia’s script supplies the film with a slim but substantive premise: 20-year-old Kamel (Rachid Amrani) wants to build a better future for himself by going to Italy, where he’s previously found work. Before he can, he must track down the elusive Bosco (Moustapha Bekkat), who runs a thriving business in human smuggling and can get Kamel a fake passport.

Kamel’s friend, 23-year-old Zina (Samira Kaddoui), at least has a halfway decent housekeeping job at a medical clinic. Still, as one of Teguia’s numerous lengthy shots observes, the job appears to be a dead-end post for a clearly sharp (and sarcasm-prone) young woman. First seen together in a dynamic moving shot on the Algiers streets and set to an Ornette Coleman free jazz number, Kamel and Zina seem to embody all that is hip and exciting about young Muslim youth attuned to Western pop culture and eager to expand their horizons.

Pic isn’t setting up a cute romantic comedy, though, but a quiet drama of steadily building ferocity, in which Zina at first happily joins Kamel in his search for Bosco until they get in way over their heads in the wrong part of town. A poor man’s Dorothy questing for his own Wizard of Oz, Kamel simply won’t stop looking for Bosco — and in this respect, he also recalls the absurdly stubborn resolve of Lee Marvin’s Walker in “Point Blank,” doggedly sniffing out the right man to give him his money.

Brief cutaways indicate that all isn’t well on Bosco’s end, as Algerian cops manage to corral several illegals under Bosco’s control. Algiers’ port, with its wide-vista oceanfront, is subtly and ingeniously framed by Teguia’s camera, with his characters foregrounded, suggesting their present reality and the temptations offshore.

What at first blush appears to be indulgent use of screen time as Kamel and Zina wander around looking for Bosco is actually a means to draw the viewer into the moment-by-moment frustrations of feeling close to one’s goal, only to see it repeatedly slip out of one’s grasp.

Tension ramps up suddenly with a stunning, fierce confrontation in a cafe between Kamel, Zina and buddy Merzak (Lali Maloufi) and cops looking for a terror suspect. Staged in a static, six-and-a-half-minute shot with the bravura of the best extended scenes in “Reservoir Dogs,” the tete-a-tete perfectly captures the daily horrors of living in a police state while providing vet actor Ahmed Bennaissa (”Bab El-Oued City”) with several delicious minutes onscreen here.

Although the final moments are foreseeable, both the getting there and the immediate aftermath show Teguia to be a director of major promise and a sharp, even polemical social observer of his country’s ills. Committed thesps Kaddoui and Amrani are with the director every step of the way, and their naturalistic, easygoing perfs never feel at odds with the short spurts where pic breaks the fourth wall between aud and action.

Outstanding co-lensing by Nasser Medjkane and Hacene Ait Kaci is seamless, while sound work by Corinne Gigon and Kader Affak is exemplary. Music selections from the work of jazzmen Coleman and Archie Shepp, along with El Hachemi L’Kerfaoui Tchamba and Cheb Azzedine, attest to the pic’s global sophistication and outlook.

George Lucas in Love (1999)

Filed under: Uncategorized — villagersfriday @ 2:00 pm

In this charming, off-the-wall parody by Joe Nussbaum, Martin Hynes plays George, a young film trainee having anguish with his proposition screenplay. But after he meets Marion (Lisa Jakub), the ideas don’t be over coming. This short film combines elements of SHAKESPEARE IN DOTE ON with the STAR WARS movies to bring into being an inventive, barest smart, and very enjoyable riff on George Lucas and the STAR WARS curiosity.

“Marty like romance tale with
boxing gloves.”

Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz

Download District 9 Movie in Best quality

Unknown, at the time, struggling actor/writer Sylvester Stallone
would get his “Rocky” script made with him starring after many studio rejections
(said to be 32) thanks to producers Irwin Winkler and Robert Chartoff and
United Artists for bankrolling it. This “sleeper” film (written over a
three-day period and shot in twenty-eight days, mostly on location in the
seedy part of Philly, with a budget of about $1 million; it would gross
well over $60 million in theaters) surprisingly became the ultimate inspirational
boxing pic about an underdog who makes it (no one can underestimate the
public’s taste for a contrived feel-good story). There were many other
previous boxing pics with the same theme (all of them I thought were better)
such as The Champ (1931), Golden Boy (1939), Body and Soul (1947), Champion
(1949), The Set-Up (1949), Somebody Up There Likes Me (1956), and Requiem
for a Heavyweight (1956). But this is the one that took root in American
pop culture and there were five more sequels, all commercial hits though
none as acclaimed as the original. Its survival message and trite romantic
tale seeps through all the schmaltz, sentimentality and contrivances as
something real for those who look up to sports heroes who have risen from
the bottom against all odds. This film seems to speak the common man’s
language and connects like a good right to the chin. It miraculously went
on to win Oscars for Best Director (John G. Avildsen, he previously made
“Joe”), Best Film Editing (Scott Conrad), and Best Picture (it beat out
Taxi Driver, Network and All the President’s Men, which should tell you
what the Academy knows about best pictures). It’s basically an old-fashioned
“Marty” like romance tale with boxing gloves, though of a lower dramatic
caliber. It’s a ‘feel-good’ crowd-pleasing story whose own success imitates
the pic’s theme. Stallone has said that he based his “Rocky” character
upon little-known, 36 year-old working-class New Jersey club boxer Chuck
Wepner (the “Bayonne Bleeder”), known best for the time he fought Muhammad
Ali in a heavy-weight title bout in March 1975 in Cleveland, Ohio, and
went the distance to lose by a judge’s decision.

The southpaw 30-year-old hero Rocky Balboa is played by Stallone.
He’s a good-natured but dim-witted oaf from a Philadelphia slum neighborhood,
living in a one-room dumpy flat with two turtles and a fish, nicknamed
the Italian Stallion, who is lovable despite being crude and boorish. Rocky
has a day job as an enforcer for a small-time South Philly loan shark (Joe
Spinell), in his spare time he works out at Mickey’s gym. Mickey (Burgess
Meredith) is a crusty old-timer, who thinks maybe Rocky coulda been a contender
but he smokes, drinks beer, behaves like a bum and threw away his opportunity.
Rocky’s beer-guzzling embittered but loyal pal Paulie (Burt Young) fixes
him up with his plain-Jane timid sister Adrian (Talia Shire, sister of
Francis Ford Coppola), who works in the corner pet shop, for a home-cooked
Thanksgiving Day turkey dinner. Rocky spurs on the relationship by showering
the withdrawn 30-year-old spinster with attention and being sensitive in
a Rockylike way until he wins her over. It builds to a rags-to-riches story
when the nickel-and-dime club boxer is inspired by his ‘goil’ to make something
of himself and eventually gets the chance of a lifetime to fight Muhammed
Ali-like champion boxer Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) for the title of World
Heavyweight Champion (the viewer is asked to swallow the plot line that
with the Bicentennial celebration coming up, Creed must find a “Cinderella”
opponent for the big July 4th bout — some unknown white boxer whom Creed
can keep around for three rounds before knocking him out). 

In a Hollywood conclusion that suspends belief, as much as its ever
been suspended, our boy Rocky shows heart to go the distance following
the tutelage of his wily fight manager Mickey. The big fight is the big
deal about this manipulative film (exploiting that America is the land
of opportunity and that everyone has a chance), as Rocky shows class losing
the brawl but winning the romance.

From Terminator to Incubator, …

Filed under: Uncategorized — villagersfriday @ 3:09 am

From Terminator to Incubator, from steroids to estrogen, from buns of steel to bun in the oven: Arnold Schwarzenegger gets in touch with his feminine side in “Junior.” A fleecy romantic caper with a dusting of feminism, the picture is basically a one-wisecrack large screen successfully nursed by gaffer Ivan Reitman.

Schwarzenegger, who has never looked more radiant, is preggers. It’s a biological crock, of course, but it’s best not to question the pseudoscience that results in Arnold’s delicate condition. Suffice to say that Danny DeVito, as a fertility doctor, impregnates the hero, who is both father and surrogate mother of the embryo.

Schwarzenegger and DeVito play Alexander Hesse and Larry Arbogast, an Austrian scientist and a tenacious gynecologist who have developed a drug, Expectane, that reduces the risk of miscarriage in chimps. When the FDA forbids them to test it on pregnant women, Dr. Arbogast persuades Dr. Hesse to play guinea pig in the name of science.

Meanwhile, their funds are cut off and a villainous department head (Frank Langella) forces them to give up their lab at the university to make room for Dr. Diana Reddin (intoxicating Emma Thompson), a cryogenics expert who arrives with a “dairy case” of frozen ova. Without her knowledge, Arbogast steals an egg, labeled “Junior,” fertilizes it with Hesse’s sperm and injects it into his colleague’s tum-tum, where, thanks to daily doses of Expectane and female hormones, the embryo makes itself at home.

As the pregnancy progresses, the dour scientist experiences not only strange cravings and morning sickness, but a joyous new respect for life. At the end of 90 days, Hesse cannot bear to terminate the pregnancy. “I want my baby,” he wails when Arbogast insists that he stop the medication. Hesse secretly continues the treatment until it’s time to start shopping at the Big and Tall men’s store.

Written by Chris Conrad and Kevin Wade, the story becomes increasingly farcical as Hesse’s pregnancy draws to its inevitable conclusion. There’s a hilarious segment featuring Schwarzenegger in maternity drag at a retreat for pregnant women and many slapstick moments for Thompson, whose shy, clumsy Dr. Reddin is Hesse’s love interest.

“Junior” becomes a bit sticky in the end, and in terms of sexual politics, the film is even reactionary between the lines. But it is worth it all the same, just to be there when Schwarzenegger delivers not just the baby but also the line “My body, my choice” as if he expected it to replace “Hasta la vista, baby” as America’s new catch phrase.

“Junior” is rated PG-13 for adult subject matter.

Ice Age (2002)

Filed under: Uncategorized — villagersfriday @ 5:19 am


With so many vivid-length lifelike features appearing all the time in unripe and innovative formats from household line drawings to computer graphics, I wonder if we aren’t in the midst of a Fertile Age of animation.

Download Impact Pt II Full Movie hd

Fox Studio’s 2002, “Ice Age” follows in the footsteps of “Shrek,” “Monster’s, Inc.,” “Tarzan,” “Atlantis,” “Dinosaur,” “Final Concoction,” “Lilo and Stitch,” with the addition of reissues of older classics like “Beauty and the Beast,” “Snow White,” and a troop of others. While the CGI “Ice Age” may not be at the culmination of every viewer’s slant of best animations, that it is able to compete at all is high tribute to its sweet characters and its extraordinary visual style. I’m not the world’s biggest hound of animated films, but this one had me smiling.

My wife commented a low on way into the movie that it reminded her of a Road Miler cartoon, and, exactly, the slapstick antics of the main characters are reminiscent of the old Warner Brothers crew (although “Ice Age” was produced in compensation Fox). This is particularly true of Scrat, an Ice Period rodent, half squirrel and half rat, forever trying to hide away an acorn; and Sid, a apathy who is all mouth. Both take pratfalls in the best cartoon attitude.

The feature begins some 20,000 years ago during the southward migration of mammals to circumvent the imminent ice, and it concerns the adventures of a trio of beasts who charge together in a common ground. The fabrication is simplistic, and its events are easy for most discerning adults to foretell in advance, but it is an animation that have to be appreciated by kids as well as by older people, so a few concessions drink to be made.

The three main characters are Sid the hebetude, voiced by John Leguizamo; Manfred, or Manny, the Mammoth, voiced by Ray Romano; and Diego the saber-toothed tiger, voiced by Denis Leary. The movie reminded me a set of “Shrek” in its relationship between Sid and Manny. The mammoth is a giant monster who just wants to be hand unaccompanied, like Shrek; the phlegm is a motor mouth, a nonstop ranter like Donkey, who wants to familiar around with him. Sid hasn’t the clever one-liners that Donkey has, but the repartee of the two animals is be like. Likewise, the movie reminded me of “Monsters, Inc.,” in that its characters are all appealing and lovable in animosity of their often formidable appearance.

This is not to authority there aren’t some cute gags in the film: “No ‘buts’ just about it,” says a natural to her offspring, trying to hurry them along, “You can cause trouble extinction later.” Then, one of the armadillo-close to creatures says he’s is on the move of “an evolutionary breakthrough.” And an army of dodo birds is preparing against the coming Ice Age by storing up all of three melons. Without difficulty completely, they’re not called “dodos” for nothing. And spitting out Sid, Diego declares, “I don’t eat junk scoff.” Things similar kind that.

Anyhow, the plot concerns the attempted but frustrated kidnapping of a human baby by a pack of tigers, of whom Diego is one. Manny and Sid rescue the lass from a river, unaware of how he got there, and with much set of beliefs on Sid’s element they decide to return the kid to its parents, no easy job since the humans are on the device south along with the animals. Diego insinuates himself into Manny and Sid’s good graces by pretending to want to captain them to the humans’ new camp, but he’s secretly trying to get the baby for himself and his pals. Needless to foretell, the three disparate individuals are initially at each other’s throats and then begin to bond as they each fall in love with the kid.

The story moves slowly at first, but not as slowly as “Dinosaur.” If you post with it, you’ll find “Ice Age” and its goofy characters growing on you. By the time you get to the unbridled ride through the ice caves and the hazards of the volcanic peaks, you’ll be hooked. The background music, by composer David Newman, is also charming and largely unobtrusive, a blessed contrast from some of the overblown soundtracks I’ve endured.

However, probably the best thing about the film is its look. It’s done up in computer graphics, as I mentioned, but they’re not in the usual the fad of CGI. The animals and the backgrounds are not as itemized as those in “Monsters, Inc.” or “Shrek”; they’re simpler and more stylized, to the present time they are no less unusual. They take a interest to get against to, but then they look extremely normal, however three-dimensional but fantasy-mould, too. What I had thought in the day one to be second-class faculty work momentarily turned absent from to be simply different and solitary art work.

“Ice Age” is a delightful little film that just misses being at the uppermost of its genre but is mollify worth one’s time, predominantly if a particular has a family to have in mind of.

Bad Boy Bubby (1993)

Filed under: Uncategorized — villagersfriday @ 10:09 pm

Rolf De Heer’s “Bad Urchin Bubby” is an original dramatic comedy with something to rile just in the matter of everybody. Provocative in gratified, and stylistically daring and inventive, pic will be launched at the Venice Film Fete, and could ride a crest of questioning to become a challenging arthouse item in diverse territories.

“Bubby” starts off like a modern variation on “The Wild Child” or “Kaspar Hauser,” then veers off into the sci-fi territory of “Starman” or John McNaughton’s “The Borrower,” in which an alien acquires knowledge and power from the people who cross his path.

A crazy religious freak (Claire Benito) has kept her son Bubby (Nicholas Hope) in isolation for 35 years. Living in a grubby, windowless room, they bathe each other, and even have sex together. Mom occasionally ventures outside, wearing a gas mask to protect her from the supposedly poisoned environment.

This strange existence is interrupted by the arrival of Bubby’s long-lost father (Ralph Cotterill), a ragged priest heavily into booze and sex. When he displaces Bubby in Mom’s bed, the younger man’s jealousy erupts in violence, as he suffocates his parents in cellophane, then leaves home for thefirst time.

Up to here, pic unfolds entirely in the cramped room. Out in the city, Bubby encounters “normal people,” whose language, speech patterns and actions he memorizes and repeats, often at inappropriate moments.

These people include a pretty Salvation Army femme who takes Bubby to bed; members of a band that achieves cult status once Bubby joins it; a doleful scientist (Norman Kaye) who violently denounces God; a group of feminists who beat Bubby when he makes advances toward one of them; a prison cellmate who rapes him; a plump nurse (Carmel Johnson) with whom he falls sweetly in love, and an anguished teen (Rachael Huddy) for whom Bubby acts as a kind of interpreter.

No fewer than 30 cameramen and women filmed these sequences, the idea being to depict Bubby’s experiences in different visual styles, though the end result is visually seamless.

James Currie has provided an intricate stereo soundtrack of unusual quality.

Using Bubby as a kind of human sponge, De Heer is able to comment on many aspects of contempo society in a totally uncompromising manner.Among those likely to be outraged are the devoutly religious, feminists, animal lovers and the Salvation Army.

Yet ultimately, this dark mirror on the world provides an extraordinary panorama of humanity and the environment in the 1990s.

It is very much to the credit of writer-director De Heer (whose previous work included the sci-fi thriller “Incident at Raven’s Gate” and the Miles Davis musical “Dingo”) that he has presented such an unflinching vision.

Nicholas Hope gives a brave and sometimes astonishing performance as the naive “wild child.”

Supporting cast, a mixture of professionals and amateurs, is uniformly excellent, with standout perfs from Benito and Cotterill as Bubby’s parents, and Johnson as the patient nurse.

The frequent male and female nude scenes are presented in forthright fashion.Shot in the widescreen Technovision process, pic is extremely handsome and transcends the modest budget. Running time is a shade long, but the pace never seriously flags.
