The Shining-cartea lui Jack Torrance

cineva a avut un shining, sa scoata chiar cartea pe care a apucat s-o scrie Jack Torrance in Shining, adica paginile typed psycho. Intitulata "All Work and No play makes Jack a Dull Boy", se poate gasi aici. Din seria, "prea multi pe planeta si cu prea mult timp". Lui Kubrick i-ar fi placut ideea, insa.

EXILED (Fong juk, 2006)

mi s-a zis ca e cel mai bun film al lui Johnnie To !
eu nu am vazut decit Fulltime Killer si Election de el !
Fong Juk are ceva frantuzesc si melvillian, nu degeaba a fost el ales de John Woo si Terence Chang pentru remakeul la Cercul rosu !
Anthony Wong conduce un grup de killeri care protejeaza un fost gangster, sotia si fiul sau nou nascut pe care un clan riival, condus de Simon Yam vor sa-l omoare !


plus elemente de western spaghetti



filmul a fost in selectia oficiala la Venetia 63 si a fost intrarea oficial a Hong Kong pentru cel ami bun film starin la Oscar !
baletele coregrafice sunt si mai virtuoase decit la Woo ! Si lipsec cu desavirsire porumbeii ! Antologica caderea unui red bull in relanti, exact cit dureaza shootoutul final !

se intimpla in Macao dar zici ca sunt strazi din Franta !


muzica, multa si atmosferica, Guy Zerafa, editor David Richardson (de la Ringo Lam la Uwe Boll!)
DVD chinezesc, cu making of netradus (12'), trailer in original si behind the scenes (6min)

Members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences may have shot themselves in the foot with their selection of top Oscar nominees on Thursday, the Chicago Tribune suggested today (Friday). The newspaper observed that by selecting so many relatively obscure movies, the Academy seems to have guaranteed another low-rated Oscars ceremony. Entertainment writer Marc Caro noted that The Dark Knight, which took in $531 million at the domestic box office last year also garnered 94 positive reviews on the Rotten Tomatoes website, compared with 60 percent for The Reader, which has grossed only $7.9 million. "Yet The Reader is a best picture (and director) nominee, and The Dark Knight is not," Caro observed. Mediaweek analyst Marc Berman added: "The problem with the films this year is none of them are huge, mass-appeal hits." Caro concluded that by denying recognition to films like Knight and Wall-e, the movie academy "risks confirming the suspicions of those who think it has grown out of touch with mainstream tastes."


I AGREE, ALSO, The Wresler nu e la best film si regie ! si Clint !

Cameo Enzo Castellari in Inglorious B...

daca nu era Castellari, cum facea Tara.. his "guys on a mission" flick ? Questo Maledeto treno Blindato, despre care am scris la filme-cult in 2007, unul din filmele preferate ale copilariei mele (si nu numai, QT had one too...)
