dupa All Music Guide (Mark Deming)

Composer Francesco De Masi, who scored well over 200 motion pictures during his career in the film industry, was born in Rome on January 11, 1930. De Masi's father was active in politics and served as Italy's ambassador to Romania, but De Masi showed a talent for music in his youth, and as a teenager he studied composition at San Pietro a Maiella in Naples under Achille Lango, who was also his uncle. When Lango was contracted to write music for a motion picture, he hired De Masi to serve as his assistant while working on the project, and the young man became fascinated with the process of making music for the movies. After completing his studies, De Masi moved to Rome to pursue a career in the cinema, and in 1951 he wrote his first film score for a documentary entitled Fiat Panis. De Masi wrote and arranged music primarily for documentaries during his early career, but in the '60s and '70s he became known for scoring Westerns during the height of the "spaghetti Western" boom, including such cult favorites as Il Pistolero di Arizona (aka Arizona Colt), Ammazzali Tutti e Toma Solo (aka Kill Them All and Come Back Alone), and C'e Sartana...Vendi la Pistola e Comprati la Bara (aka Sartana's Coming, Get Your Coffins Ready). However, De Masi's repertoire represented an eclectic variety of horror films (Orgia de los Muertos, aka Terror of the Living Dead), wartime dramas (Quel Maledetto Treno Blindato, aka The Inglorious Bastards), crime thrillers (I Familiari delle Vittime Non Saranno Avvertiti, aka Crime Boss), "sword and sandal" epics (Ercole l'Invincibile, aka Hercules the Invincible), and all other sorts of pictures, and though the bulk of his music appeared in Italian or Spanish productions, he wrote the score for the popular Chuck Norris vehicle Lone Wolf McQuade

and worked with Basil Poledouris on music for the Judd Nelson comedy Making the Grade. When not busy with his career in film scoring, De Masi led and conducted several major symphony orchestras in Italy, and was a gifted horn player; his discography includes recordings of major works by Mozart, Beethoven, and Tchaikovsky. De Masi died in a hospital in Rome on November 6, 2005, after a battle with cancer.

so, mi thinks k am sa ma duc sa vad (sau mai bine zis sa aud)Psycho, pe care nu l-am mai vazut pe ecran din facultate, si aia era la Eforie, dar am vazut afisul in parking lot-ul din A Single Man la B-est 6

si maybe Regina Africana, poate vin Danny si Anjelica Huston ca la TCM festival au fost...

Iron Man 2 (2010)

tocmai m-am intors de la vizionarea Iron Man 2, la care m-am dus pentru Mickey Rourke si AC/DC, nurii Scarlettei puteam sa-i vad si dintr-o poza. Dar la fel e si cu Mickey si cu AC/DC. Mult asteptatul soundtrack la care n-au contribuit cu nici o piesa noua) consta intr-o piesa la inceput (Shoot To Thrill) si una la sfirsit (Highway to Hell cred).

Filmul pare a fi cel putin sloppy asamblat iar Rourke e wasted, pacat !!! pentru ca el chiar s-a chinuit sa creeze un personaj...cu accent rusesc, tatuaje si pet bird (Birdie Num num ?). Despre metodele lui audio am aflat de aici (Crazy si Rehab).

Mandarin after credits am auzit, ca noua scena nu ne-au dat-o :( -ca embargo)
rectificare; nah, e Thor si ciocanul sau, am vazut pe youtube. Ca filmul ala, e , deh, gata. Mandarin cica o sa fie bad guy-ul din 3.scutul lui cpt America intr-o scena (la fel ca in primul film), un cameo Stan Lee as...Larry King, o gramada de piese de mambo jambo si un score de John Debney compus in 4 zile (se cam simte..:(), am auzit de reshoots dar nu stiu cite de multe au fost...
pacat de Mickey si raliul de la Monaco care e de vazut in Grand Prix
Downey seamana chiar cu Al Pacino la un moment dat, e arogant si mega-star indolent
cind ar trebui sa creeze drama nu pot empatiza cu el, cind e funny mi se pare ca se da mare...get out of the doughnut, man...

John Slattery din Mad Men e chul ca tata lui Stark, Howard
Don Cheadle e debil ca replacement pentru Terrence Howard
Sam Rockwell e cam penibilutz...diet coke of evil..., dar cel mai enervante sunt scenele cu Gwyneth Potts si Stark, jeee, in plus efecte tone dar sloppy
vreo 4 scene bune in film si f putzin Mickester...(am auzit ca-si ia revansa si joaca in Ghenghis Khan by Milius, more power to them),
sincer e la nivelul la Punisher-war Zone si ala macar a fost violent...no fun...prea mult american political bullshit si just bullshit, Favreau e cam penibil ca actor si ca regizor pt un film de asemenea anvengura neee
Sam Jackson-Nick Fury cu eyepatch are 2 scene (I'll keep my eye on you)
cronica la filmul original aici
2 din 5, 4 din 10 (as da cu indulgenta un cinci pentru Rourke si AC/DC dar meritau un film mai bun !

Not really !

si inca un film romanesc...

Web Site Story (fostul Pac, esti mort), debutul lui Dan Chisu, filmat pe RED in 12 zile, cu zic ei, 120.000 de euro. Premiera pe 14 mai, cind unii sunt la Cannes (o fi de frica de scula critica, sau pur & simple ?). Distribuit de DaKino si Transilvania. Zice, "filmul unei generatii." Sau -unei de-generatii ?

oamenii si-au facut si blog,

Scurtmetrajul Căutare al lui Ionuţ Piţurescu, selecţionat în secţiunea Quinzaine des Réalisateurs - Festivalul de la Cannes, 2010
amanunte din comunicat aici

Pacino -70 ! Mazursky-80 ! Kurick's Lost Five

incredibil, Al Pacino face 70 de ani azi ! Si Paul Mazursky 80 ! As time goes by ! Pacino l-a jucat pe doctorul Jack Kevorkian in You Don't Know Jack (care e titlul articolului meu de dvd cu Jack Nicholson) de Barry Levinson, si o sa fie Napoleon, Regele Lear, regele Irod si o sa-l joace pe Dali si in remakeul la RIFIFI!
si
un articol cool despre cele 5 proeicte pierdute ale lui Kubrick, apropo de Lunatic at Large care a obtinut castingul saptamina trecuta ! Deptre Lunatic din NYTimes aici.

cel mai cunoscut este cel cu Napoleaon, care la vremea lui initiala ,(finel anilor 60, inaite de Waterloo), trebuia sa se filmeze in Romania !!! Kurick a folosit documentatia din epoca la Barry Lyndon...Nap-ul lui Pacino e cu Betsy, romantic story pe Elba, n-are nimic epic !

ma duc la B-est la premii, pe care o sa le anunta dupa, dar pe Tica il felicit de pe acum, pentru ca Portertul luptatorului la tinerete a luat premiul publicului !

newzzzzz

acum ma intorc acasa cu vesti bune pe care le-am asteptat in the loop:
acreditarea mea de la Cannes finalemente

Nous avons le plaisir de vous confirmer votre accréditation pour le 63e Festival de Cannes.
---------------------------------------
Nous sommes heureux de vous accueillir et nous vous souhaitons un bon Festival.

in the loop ruled-traducerile fest sucked...son of eraserhead si woman of crying game...dog the wag....
Cannes 63 are in competita oficiala dar out of competition documentarul- Autobiografia lui Nicolae Ceausescu de Andrei Ujica, unde documentarist a fost Titus Muntean !!!

si felicitari !
AC/DC are 2 tribune oficiale in curtea palatului parlamentului datorita lui Sever Voinescu care se insoara azi . Felicitari lui Sever, Nae, Mihnea, Barbu si Matei !

B-est day 3 (& 4)

dupa La merditude des choses am vazut finally dar pe ecran si cu sunet de ploaie frumos, Caravana cinematografica de Titus Muntean, dupa Ioan Grosan, proiect drag lui Titus din facultate. Si al doilea sau film dupa Examen, la o distanta de aproape 10 ani de cind l-a inceput pe primul. Filmat pe ploaie de Vivi Dragan, in sat la Savirsin, e in oglinda cu Nunta muta ca gen, dar rezultatul e unul mai apropiat de un film cehesc (desi satul mi se pare arhetipal cu personaje evreiesti-Fiddler on the Roof- sau din Cehov). Am probleme cu pacing-ul, cu faptul ca se da filmul rusesc de razboi si cu inca un element de final pe care n-ar trebui sa-l vedem, dar vreau sa citesc si nuvela lui Grosan, ca sa ma lamuresc cit a inventat Titus. Actorii buni, mai ales Mircea Diaconu, Doru Boguta si Gioni Georgescu, plus debutanta Iulia Luminare.

premiera la finel lui mai sau inceput de iunie, dupa premiera de la Cluj...

acum Samson si Dalila, cu aborigeni si
apoi In the Loop.

si recomandat, THIRST al lui Park Chan Wook !
miine sa veniti la Tica Popescu: Portretul luptatorului la tinerete !!!!

intre timp re-ascult Serj Tankian...de ce..why...warum...porquoi ?
ELECT THE DEAD ? the symphony ?????

Koncealovski n-a mai venit la B-est

filmele lui insa sunt. pacat de masterclass..deh, vulcanul islandez noroios care se cheama Eyjafjallajökull !!!
ieri s-a dat in deschidere Gloss, sau Glyanets, din 2007, directors cut, 118 min si azi fug la Dom durakov (Casa nebunilor) din 2002(premiul juriului la Venetia) si apoi Gigante in competitie.
*
huh, am plecat dupa 20 de minute de la Dom Duralov, prea dur-a-kov, cu metafore, filmari video si method acting rusesc, Stansislavski checkhen style, and Bryan Adams didnt help at all (do ya really love a woman, fuck u) .. Caru cu bere pe lumina ist besser...
later on Gigante e mai ok, cu tricouirile omului cu Motorhead, Biohazard si concversatia in the dark la balcon cu Barbu, am impresia somehow we were the only ones that laughed, pina la final un Kaurismaki uruguayan...

Everybody's Fine (2009)

Everybody’s Fine e remake-ul american la Stanno Tutti Bene de Giuseppe Tornatore (1990), cu un tata pensionar vaduv care se duce sa-si viziteze copiii mari si dezamagire si singuratatea sa, cind acestia par a nu avea timp pentru el. Cu Robert De Niro, si "copiii sai", Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale, si Sam Rockwell. De Niro joaca un rol de gen Jack lemmon, un om obisnuit intr-o drama gen superiorul About Schmidt. Un film trist, si despre singuratate…facut cam decaf de americani si regizorul englez (& scenarist), Kirk Jones, autorul lui Waking Ned Devine si...Nanny McPhee...
Aici De Niro si Marianelli, acolo Mastroianni si Morricone, si filmul se termina pe piesa lui Macca (I Want To) Come Home, care a fost nominalizata la Globul de aur, dar care are noima mult mai mult dupa ce vezi filmul…Parerea mea e ca fiind Miramax s-a dus de ripa la distributie din cauza dealului Weinstein/Disney (care era iar pe rol w/e asta)

"Relief" is the word for it. It's a relief to see Robert De Niro giving an honest, effective starring performance in a project that does not stink and that, in fact, rises to a respectable level of filmmaking proficiency. How long has it been ?

ar trebui sa revad filmul lui Tornatore sa-mi dau seama cum se tine si care sunt diferentele esentiale

RIP Dede Allen

Monteuza (suna aiurea dar cum sa zici in romaneste), ok, film editor Dede Allen a murit duminica 18 aprilie la 86 de ani. Este una din cele mai legendare din Noul Hollywood (anii '60), a lucrat indeaproape cu Arthur Penn, Sidney Lumet si Warren Beatty.
Nominalizata de 3 ori la Oscar (Dog Day Afternoon, Reds si The Wonder Boys).
Editors are the unsung heroes of cinema, zice necrologul Annei Thompson.
Arthur Penn: “She wasn’t an editor,she was a constructionist.”
primul credit solo, Bonnie si Clyde (ginditi-va doar la final si baletul de gloante, si ce revolutie a provocat, Wild Bunch apare in anul urmator !). Eu cred ca o tin minte de pe genericul lui Serpico, am crezut multa vreme ca e barbat. A lucrat si cu recent disaprutii John Hughes, si Paul Newman, de fapt cind am fost de Pasti la Brasov am vazut pe TCM fragmente din Rachel,Rachel, anume the psychotic church revival. Si da, montajul e fabulos in acea scena.

fantasticky bulgarsky road trip
