Breakfast At Tiffany’s

March 5, 2010 - 3:00 pm No Comments

Holly Golightly (Hepburn) is a high-class escort living in New York. She meets writer Paul Varjak (Peppard) while moving in the apartment above it and, over time, interest in them.

The course of true love runs smoothly though, as relics of the past of Holly (Ebsen) and others offer a possible future (Villalonga) in the path of Paul’s persecution of her. Audrey Hepburn was nominated for an Oscar (his fourth nod, won only his first)) as Holly Golightly and, unlike so many today, she earnt the recognition. In Holly created not only a fashion icon, but a permanent indelible and massively enjoyable, the character of the screen.

True justice Hepburn is absolutely delicious on paper, his distinctive voice, making good screenplay by George Axelrod. She seems to be fun and contagious, who are led by Holly film and they come to really care for it. What makes it a fun performance into something really special are the signs of the darker side of Holly, his speech on “the miserable slump and other signs that she is probably damaged.

George Peppard not have had to act much, its main function is to be in love with Hepburn and pleasant character, combined with its mouth open beauty mean it is easy for us to understand why it would. That this does not undermine Peppard even as it gives a fine performance and fun. In fact the entire cast becomes the top class work, except for Mickey Rooney.

Rooney is cast as abusive neighbor up an offensive stereotypical Japanese Holly and slapstick scenes involving him are cringemaking. Put it in the context of the time and it became easier to explain why you’re here, but no more excusable.

That said Rooney’s role is small enough to not detract from the film by Blake Edwards directs well, contributing several moments that have become iconic in cinema. Even people who do not know this movie have probably seen Hepburn with her hair up and massively long holder. The film has been endlessly referenced in other films, look again at the end of Four Weddings and a Funeral and say not a fan of Mike Newell.

The script, though never massively surprising, it is beautifully written with sparkling dialogue good for both Hepburn (As Miss Golightly was saying before she was so rudely interrupted …) and Peppard (So what? So that much), but his undeniable highlight comes in the middle of Paul and Holly when they embark on a day to do things that I’ve never done before. In that sequence feels really and the root of your connection.

I could write much more about this great movie, but I leave this: You should see Breakfast At Tiffany’s, because you leave the film happier than you came to it.

Brokeback Mountain

March 4, 2010 - 8:48 pm No Comments

This is the funniest movie I’ve seen in a long time. The fact that someone made a movie about gay cowboys is brilliant, and had me in stitches throughout. It was not meant to be fun, but if you enjoy shows like Family Guy and South Park is on this side of distribution.

The story was pretty boring but the performance was brilliant, as we have come to expect from these big players. Must have been a very difficult movie to act in

Basically, I understand that my view is the opposite of most people and how they intended this film, but it’s fun and if you’re like me, you’ll enjoy it just because it has gay cowboys.

Enchanted

Enchanted not be confused with the typical Disney / rom com idea. It takes all the typical Disney ideals, places tongue firmly in cheek, and then proceeds to parody quite well. Although the fun-poking the kind of movie flops at the end, as is abandoned in favor of jumping on the typical, predictable rom-com band wagon, in the first half of the film manages to be fun, and also very sweet at times.

Amy Adams is brilliant in this movie! Outlook Magic naive and too sweet for his character and his every movement exudes’ Disney Princesses. ”

Of his antics to dilliberately exaggerated expressions, Adams simply makes this movie worth seeing. James Marsden is also worth mentioning, but I could have done more with his impetuous nature, selfish. I thought there would gradually transform into a prince eating junk food, televission addict who only cares about Ricci Lake and hot dogs, but unfortunately, I was disappointed.

It’s worth seeing the first half if you’re a cynic like me, or the second half, if you’re a romantic like most girls who’ve come out with.

Somersault Somersault follows a girl named Heidi as she runs away in search of a new life and experiences in Australia, Snowy Mountains. Knowing no one and no place to stay, she forms relationships with a number of people who help.

The film largely focuses on his relationship with Joe, a local farmer, with whom he begins an affair. The film is slow pace and humor that will put a lot of people, but their use value as it offers an interesting view of the confusion and vulnerability of youth. Unlike many other Australian films, filmed the movie is beautiful shades of green and blue, away from the obvious red, yellow and orange with you associate with the country.

The Family Stone

February 26, 2010 - 7:20 pm No Comments

This is a contender for worst movie I’ve ever seen. Despite the impressive production values and very well filmed that has no other positive features.

Hardly anything actually happens in this film, which is very unbelievable, cringe worthy and just bizarre for most of the time. It is inconsistent and gives the constant feeling of “WTF I missed a scene or something?” It feels like a comedy written by a person with a surreal or no sense of humor at all.

The bizarre fusion of slapstick and ridicule of a career with reduced mobility, mixed gay couple at the end completely missed the mark. Increasingly, I felt like throwing the TV out the window!

SJP please get off my screen and never return.

Elvira Madigan

My husband first saw this film in Philadelphia, before returning to London to marry me in 1968. We had a picnic with wine, cheese and bread like the movie, but luckily our story has a happy ending.

I thought it was worth seeing again after so many years. It looked in Elvira Madigan all dated. Elvira’s beauty is disturbing, as is the history and environment.

Now I would like a new version as a competely different project showing how these two characters met and what was so attractive to him out of his position in society and his family - but please, not a U.S. version.

Fur - An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus

February 8, 2010 - 10:07 am No Comments

Fur - An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus I’ve seen some weird movies in my time, but this is the strangest and not in the right direction. It is described as an imaginary portrait of the artist Diane Arbus.

What is the amount of imagination and true to her life I do not know. I only know a little about it, and had seen some of his photographs. If one believes in this “imagined life” then I would say she was not only strange, but positively crazy and Kinky.

The problem may be my sense of humor. They call me a philistine, and I do not think I’m going to give something back, when I say that both the bath and shaving scenes of hysterical laughter make me mourn.

I am sure that this is not what the director wanted. But if you have a sense of humor at all, probably should not watch this movie.

I do not know how the actors through it. I was on the floor.

The Holiday

Writer-director Nancy Meyers proved he knew what women want 2000 with the hit of the same name, and satisfied the most underserved female audience with Something s Gotta Give. Now it s throwing the Christmas market for Chick Flick, with a holiday romantic comedy that actually makes love look positively gritty. Beautiful, rich, workaholic Amanda (Cameron Diaz) has just expel cheating boyfriend (Ed Burns) of his palatial mansion and fantasies of a scene change.

Like, for example, a snow-covered cottage, Surrey, where love Iris (Kate Winslet) pines rogue colleague (Rufus Sewell) who might still be dating her if it was t used to another person. A few clicks on a holiday later exchange website, and Iris is rapidly explore their new spacious Cali, while Amanda looks curiously at his bathroom plumbing picturesque. Love comes, as it must, in the form of Iris drunken brother Graham (Law), who hopes his sister s crash pad and instead finds a slutty goddess who thinks that foreplay is overrated.

More in Los Angeles, the film composer Miles (Black) takes off with Iris. Since this is a movie, they place barriers in the way of both novels, not just the ticking of the clock to break the two pairs of separation after two weeks. If all of Long Island-Something s Gotta Give is a slice of pure porn Hamptons, then this is Hollywood and porn porn English countryside: the rustic charm and luxury living in Los Angeles, all wrapped in a great arc, Christmas red.

Meyers takes delight in the consumption of each detailof brilliant high level, the big screen incarnation of the magazine Elle Decoration. A new strain development is unlikely to know inside-joke about the film’s narrative. Iris should be the protagonist of her story, she said, s at one point, but she s stuck playing the best friend.

Amanda hallucinates his own history as a series of corny movie trailers. These flowers won t be giving Charlie Kaufman any sleepless nights, but not the film a fun, smart glow. We could, however, have no preaching Meyers acknowledge the falsity of modern film production and distribution (yes, really), but also from nostalgia for more innocent times Hollywood.

Let s face, The Holiday is a comedy package linked gilt borders and out emotion cleverly marketed relentlessly in its target demographic of women over 25. Who, in other words, are you kidding?

Be an appreciative audience for this great chick flick. But it might be you.

Melinda And Melinda

Each new Woody Allen film in the last 15 years has been hailed as a return to form, only to be swiftly re-evaluated as cannon fodder for the arms of darkness, and “Melinda and Melinda ‘is part of the device bill.The processing is clumsily written and performed, and the whole premise is wrong Melinda And Melinda Anyway: This is not the same story in two versions, but two different stories.There is the pleasure you get from the film for Allen fans, like me, but I doubt that anyone can enjoy it, although the view of Chloe Sevigny intellectual references jets is good for a (unintentional) laugh.
