Mork And Mindy - Series 2

January 26, 2010 - 6:24 am No Comments

What began as a spin-off of the popular sitcom Happy Days became a superstar Robin Williams in the pleasantly bizarre 1970s television series Mork and Mindy. Hatching from an egg-shaped spacecraft, alien visitor Mork (Williams) comes to Earth to investigate the planet’s inhabitants and report his findings to his superior Orson, who appears only as a disembodied voice. Mork finds shelter and friendship with a Mork And Mindy - Series 2 Middle-earth woman, Mindy McConnell (Pam Dawber), which serves as a road puzzled some of her roommate more otherworldly behavior, such as talking to plants or drinking through his fingers.

Williams’ manic style is tailor made for his rainbow suspended, fish out of water character, and much of the charm of the series was born of their imitations eccentric and strange gestures. This collection includes every episode from the second installment of the program. Na-nu, na-nu!

Deconstructing Harry

January 13, 2010 - 8:20 am No Comments

Borrowing the structure of Bergman’s Wild Strawberries, but filled with the unmistakable style of Woody Allen, this is certainly one of his movies more fun and enjoyable, and a great example of how Woody (as is clearly getting older) can implement a variety of actors to fill the new roles without losing their wits. Robin Williams‘ out of the objective function “is unexpectedly funny, the dialogue contains classic Allen jokes, and movie fans will delight in the frequent allusions to the Deconstructing Harry original size of mice and 8 Baisers Truffaut 1/2.Though Fellini’s not exactly “, with loans of Wild Strawberries, in particular the scenes where he is looking at past events, are well adapted Allen’s vision for the film, clearly distinguishable from the bright, however, very different tone of Bergman’s film, as wisely ‘theft’ of film to create a pastiche that is entirely your own.This movie really deserves consideration along with the likes Manhattan and Annie Hall, a classic Woody Allen comedy.

Awakenings

I had never heard of this movie until a friend lent it to me, but it really is one of the most moving films I’ve ever seen. Every aspect of the right sucks really care about the characters, and this in my mind is undoubtedly one of the main elements of good / great cinema is all Awakenings about (evasion of entertainment is certainly another). George Charalambous of Manchester succeeds with its consideration: the casting is perfect, the chemistry between the major (and minor) players is Spot-On, and his heart is with everyone, the whole way.

And what De Niro did not win an Oscar for this performance I’ll never know … A hidden gem: You must see it.

Insomnia

Insomnia Although I am not a big fan of Hollywood films to remake attempst European is an exception to the rule. Having seen the original recently, I was surprised positively by the more strict sense of this film, the most sustained tension throughout the film and the excellent use of the spectacular scenery. Some curiosities are still at large - climate change very clear in the thick fog with only a walk (short) tunnel, the hard to believe because of the midnight sun in a sleeping people, police work often so little

I’m skeptical in general about movies so that the excessive use f *** word because it often seems an excuse to write dialogues.Overall, a decent way to spend a night at home and surprisingly good in comparison with the original.

The Aristocrats

July 23, 2009 - 11:06 pm No Comments

The editing is really distracting - unnecessarily so - and the jokes, like nearly everyone involved to admit, is rubbish, but Paul Provenza film is not really about anything. It’s actually about the business of being a comedian, taking the material and leave only a bit of a walk.

Of people here on the screen, Gilbert Gottfried, of course, is the stand-out (although it is interesting that, under pressure, is used that old chestnut), but for me The Aristocrats Sarah Silverman is. Always hilarious (if you do not see it live, it’s worth the plane ticket to the States on their own), moving beyond their own little nightmare brilliant.

Others on this page have been distributed to the bad reviews really do not seem to have understood the point of the image, perhaps, as the free jazz of the stand-up comedy is compared, the majority of the audience is simply not it. Those who do will have a serious laugh.

Awakenings

This fact-based drama, which represents the mental life in a neighborhood of the Bronx in the sixties, stars Robert De Niro and Robin Williams. The plot surrounds a central Dr. Malcolm Sayer, a shy neurologist terminal which applies for a position in a neighborhood of the Bronx mental after years of isolation, the study of the earth aimlessly worms.

This character is well played by Williams, an expert portrays the introverted personality of the character. I would say you should win an Oscar for best actor in 1990 for this performance.

I say best “actor” only because of the sublime performance of Robert De Niro. Robert De Niro gives one of his greatest performances as Leonard Lowe, the man who is the first “woke up” after being imprisoned in a completely paralyzed since childhood.

It is difficult to believe Awakenings this is the same man who portrayed the psychotic Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver, or the brutal Jake La Motta in Raging Bull, or the cunning gangsta clean Jimmy Conway in Godfellas. The scenes where the effects of the drug reduces and Leonard slowly loses control of his body in a series of uncontrollable tics and spasms are very touching, because De Niro portrays disorder with technical perfection. It reminded me of the performance of Pacino in Scent of a Woman, in which Pacino played a blind retired colonel, both performances are so precise tecnically.

I really can not speak highly enough of the performaance De Niro in the film. This is a De Niro fan should see, and I would recommend this film to any movie Goeran. 121 minutes is really not going to do something you want more!

Is hiring!

The Big White

May 24, 2009 - 8:14 am No Comments

I offer high praise for very often … but on a flight with BA I stumbled across this gem of a movie. Robin Williams plays Paul Burnell down a sort of travel agent that the savings have been spent in finding someone who can help his wife (Hunter) who is afflicted with what he thinks is Tourettes.

In search of a corpse in a dumpster is the ingenious idea of creating an insurance scam of $ 1 million for life insurance for his brother who upped and left a couple of years The Big White above. Pull on a pair of part-time thugs who want to return his body, an insurance investigator who smells a big opportunity for its award and promotion to New York, a psychic phone line opperater, an old friend and go up from nowhere and is one of the best intelegent comidies recent years and if one of the funniest I’ve seen for a long time.

Hunter is amazing as Maggie several times laughing out loud. I urge you to see this movie, and deserves to be seen.

Deconstructing Harry

Finally, Woody Allen has a different character and really impressed! His recent films can not hold a candle to the classics of the’70s and early’80s, but this is one of the most under rated filsm of his career.

Woody plays a writer so wrapped up in their own world that he does not see the pain is Deconstructing Harry causing their friends and family - a bunch of flashbacks cue, some cameo roles incredible, unforgettable and some tricks of cinema (as Robin Williams has never seen before!). This has a nasty streak, some great black humor, and a winner.

It will not be for everyone, but this is Woody at his best - is recommended, but not being with Grandma!

The Final Cut

April 26, 2009 - 1:22 am No Comments

The Final Cut It begins with two children playing in a disused building and a fall in its “death” … Then “cut” to Williams, sitting in a chair making notes on a book, published as a customer watches the memory of a close friend on a TV screen …

Erm … Well …

Turns out, this film is about a group of people called “cutters” that the microchip implant (which contains all your memories) of the dead and edited the memoirs of a “return to the memory of service” (imagine a funeral in a cinema). Williams is an expert “in court,” but is haunted by the case of children seen at the beginning of the film.

He is really a dark character! Enter Caviezel (comedy, with a beard) - is also a “cutter” and want to buy the implant that Williams has been working.

It seems that the implant belonging to a top executive from the company that manufactured the implants and has a sordid secret … As a thriller, the film has its moments (especially towards the end), but there are too many goofs in the view of the memory of scenes and Williams still is not a “serious” enough to carry a film as a whole . Other characters are developed and are never lost.

Pity, because the idea is good …
