RIP Erich Segal

tocmai ma intreba cineva asta seara de Love Story, daca ar fi ok de dat de Valentine's day sau prea trist. definetly prea trist, pentru ca autorul cartii si scenariului a murit acum, la 72 de ani. Segal a scris si un remake, Oliver's Story (1978), dar se pare ca e doar un cash in. El a scris si scenariul la filmul Beatles, Yellow Submarine, care se face remake acum in 3 D. R.I.P.

iar Ali MacGraw are azi 71 de ani ! Si Ryan O'Neal doar...68 ! Si Bob Evans implineste 80 de ani. Cit ar fi facut si Steve McQueen... Love...story ? neverending story ? unglaubliche gesichte...

Mickey Rourke la Globuri si la LIGHT !!!

Micksterul a avut o prestatie la Globuri, a dat premiul pentru cea mai buna actrita Sandrei Bullock

dupa urmeaza Robert Downey jr arogant dar fun, care "nu multumeste nimanui"

si aici un interviu dinainte de event, in care se tine de mina cu un nou model rusesc blond cu hot legs, nu cel cu care era anunta ca se logodise...si zice ca filmeaza Passion Play cu Megan Fox in New Mexico...

*
iar ieri la LIGHT 24 de persoane (si me) l-au vazut pe Mickey in The Wrestler (pe HBO se da duminica seara), care trebuie adunate la Boxofficeul romanesc total de 3461 ! acum l-am vazut a treia oara si Marisa e hotter (You put an arrow through my heart), filmul e funnier (in prima parte) si surely better ! Balls to the wall, man ! thanks to all that came 4 Mickey!
va astept saptamina viitoare la Largo Winch !!!

Topul meu de filme ale lui Mickey Rourke

pe HBO in aceiasi zi cu the Wrestler la movielight !!!
observ din nou ca anii 80 au fost decada lui Mickey si doar un film, anume The Wrestler a intrat din cele noi (as fi bagat si Sin City dar mi s-a parut mai interesant Francesco)
aici pe blog am postat din ele despre Diner
si am revazut the wek before, The Pope from Greenwich Village, Barfly si Rumble Fish pe care l-am declarat "Cel mai experimental film de arta american din anii '80", deschide drumul spre Jarmusch, Buscemi si Sean Penn. cum a zis Coppola, "art movie for kids". Black and white (Stephen Burum plus timelapse si painted shdows), score sincopat de Stewart Copeland (his first), dedicat fratelui sau si tatalui lui Nic Cage (aici in primul sau rol), August Coppola, mort anul trecut ! A gem to rediscover si apropo de Tetro, mult-hulit de unii si de altii, dar locul 5 in topul 2009 la Cahiers du Cinema !
