<p style="text-align:justify;">Missisipi &#8211; Anni ‘30. Tre galeotti strampalati evadono dal carcere alla ricerca di un tesoro che non esiste. Lungo il loro viaggio, che è un libero omaggio all’<em>Odissea</em> di Omero, incontreranno una galleria di personaggi a dir poco stravaganti e vivranno una serie di avventure surreali quanto grottesche.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>PER CHI </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Per chi ama la commedia.. ma anche l’avventura, il western, il gangster movie, il musical, lo slapstick e il cinema muto.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Per chi crede in Dio.<br />
Per chi crede nel Fato.<br />
Per chi non crede né a Dio né al Fato.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Per chi difende la leggerezza, l’intelligenza e l’ironia.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Per chi ha voglia di farsi un viaggio nei miti, quelli  cosmogonici dell’antica Grecia, quelli patinati del cinema Hollywoodiano e quelli “falsi” del sogno americano.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Per chi non resiste alle citazioni. <em>Fratello dove sei?</em> è una dichiarazione d’amore al il cinema classico Hollywoodiano, dai generi (ad esempio il gangster movie) alle scene (come quella esplicitamente ripresa da<em> I dimenticati</em> di Preston Sturges), ai personaggi (George Clooney, impomatato e con quell’aria da simpatica canaglia, fa l’occhiolino a Clark Gable). E gli omaggi non finiscono qui: dalla letteratura al cinema, dal mito alle leggende popolari, Fratello dove sei? è un crogiuolo di citazioni e giochi intertestuali, un vero spasso per chi voglia divertirsi a scovarli. Ad esempio: chi sarà mai Tommy Johnson, il chitarrista venuto dal nulla?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Per chi crede ancora agli eroi di un tempo. Quando Ulisse era “pio”, le sirene mezze donne e mezze pesce, Polifemo un gigante tonto con un occhio solo e Penelope stava a casa a fare la maglia.<br />
<em>In Fratello dove sei?</em> Ulisse è un chiacchierone senza fede, astuto e vanitoso, le sirene donne in carne e ossa (soprattutto carne), Polifemo un ladro venditore di Bibbie violento e xenofobo e Penelope una fedifraga emancipata che dà non poco filo da torcere al di lei succube Ulysses.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Per chi vuole farsi un bagno nel profondo Missisipi della canzone popolare americana. La colonna sonora è un’enciclopedia di brani tradizionali e di successo americani, che vanno dal soul (es. <em>Po Lazarus</em>), al gospel (es. <em>Down to the river to pray</em>), al folk, al country (es. <em>Man of Costant sorrow</em>, <em>Big Rock Candy Mountain</em>, <em>You are my sunshine</em>), al blues.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Per (solo per) veri uomini Dapper Dan!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">We end this month&#8217;s Director&#8217;s Spotlight on controversial director Spike Lee with his most recent picture, 2008&#8217;s <em>Miracle at St. Anna.</em> After viewing Clint Eastwood&#8217;s 2006 war pictures <em>Flags of our Fathers </em>and <em>Letters from Iwo Jima</em>, Spike Lee stated at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival that Eastwood should have included black Marines in his movies. Eastwood responded that they were specifically about the Japanese soldiers and the Americans who raised the flag, that there were black soldiers at Iwo Jima but they were segregated and therefore not directly involved, and that Lee should &#8220;shut his face&#8221;. Lee countered that Eastwood was acting like an &#8220;angry old man&#8221; and that he should have included them anyway. Thus, <em>Miracle at St. Anna </em>was born.<!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Alternating between the 1940&#8217;s and the 1980&#8217;s, the film opens on Hector Negron (Laz Alonso, <em>Jarhead)</em>, a dark-skinned Latino WWII veteran and current employee of the U.S. postal service, watching <em>The Longest Day</em> and murmuring to himself, &#8220;We served our country too&#8221;. The next day, he seems to recognize an Italian-accented customer, who does the same before Negron shoots him dead. A young reporter (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the chief reason I saw this movie) is thrown a bone by the jaded investigating detective (John Turturro) and witnesses the discovery of a lifetime: a long-lost marble statuehead of a destroyed Italian bridge, found in the perp&#8217;s closet. As the reporter pushes Negron for the story behind it, he recounts a tale of four members of the Buffalo Soldiers: one righteous and authoritative (Derek Luke, <em>Antwone Fisher</em>), one smooth and skeptical (Michael Ealy, <em>Barbershop</em>), one a linguist and optimist (Negron) and one huge and innocent (Omar Benson Miller, <em>Transformers</em>). Together, they survive the ambush of their squad in Nazi-occupied Italy and hole up with a fascist-supporting Italian family and a mute boy they rescued. The climactic finale includes betrayal (both romantic and political) and tragedy, but the film&#8217;s title is true to its word: hope surrounds the epilogue and Negron&#8217;s ultimate fate.</p>
<div id="attachment_1522" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://damrb.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/miracleatstanna-500.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1522 " title="miracleatstanna-500" src="http://damrb.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/miracleatstanna-500.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="201" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">George, as soon as we get out of Nazi-occupied Italy we&#39;ll get a little place of our own where I can tend the rabbits...</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This is a thoroughly unimpressive epic. It was billed as the African-American version of <em>Saving Private Ryan</em>, and that would be an insult to both that war classic and African-Americans in general. The plot has an interesting premise and starts relatively strong, but quickly loses its <em>Wuthering Heights </em>comparisons and slows to a halt once the soldiers arrive in the village. The characters are all very two-dimensional; there&#8217;s a cliched love triangle between Luke, Ealy and an Italian woman, Benson is basically a black version of Lennie from <em>Of Mice and Men</em>, and the protagonist&#8217;s only real depth is his survivor&#8217;s guilt. And of course, as this is a response piece from none other than Spike Lee, white men are shown in every opportunity to be prejudiced and hateful (one of the unnecessary flashbacks-within-a-flashback features a great character actor, John Hawkes, in the most pointed attack on a group of people I&#8217;ve seen this year), and his direction does nothing but beg his audience to cry for the plight of the downtrodden black man.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">I understand what Lee was going for, but he went about it in all the wrong ways. There&#8217;s a convoluted and overdrawn structure, distracting cameos by the likes of John Leguizamo and Kerry Washington, underdeveloped protagonists and an agressiveness in garnering sympathy for the director&#8217;s heritage; none of these are what I look for in a movie. Overall I give the film 1 1/2 pitchforks out of five; Spike Lee got in over his head this time, and I hope he sticks to what he&#8217;s good at next time.</p>

<h3><span style="color:#008000;">The Taking of Pelham 123 2009</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#008000;">Director: Tony Scott</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#008000;">Writer: Brian Hegeland</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#008000;">Starring Denzel Washington, John Travolta, Luis Guzman, Victor Gojcaj, John Turturro, James Gandolfini and Michael Rispoli</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#008000;"> </span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#008000;">    Tony Scott is one of the best modern action film directors today, so whenever he has a new film I always see it.  I had heard of the original version of this film but had never seen it.  I will definitely seek it out after seeing this version.  This was a solid action film with some very tense scenes in it and a great interplay between Washington and Travolta.  I always have liked Travolta more when he plays the heavy, such as his great performances in John Woo&#8217;s Face Off and Broken Arrow.  This is a fast paced and expertly executed crime film and all the lead actors do an excellent job.  The only fault I have with the film is that it doesn&#8217;t bring anything new or exciting to the action film genre.  But it is still a enjoyable and gripping film to watch.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#008000;">    The plot basics are this, four amred men hijack a subway train one afternoon in Manhattan.  They stop and decouple the first car and then begin their plan too blackmail money out of the city by holding the people on the train hostage.  The leader of the terrorists is Ryder (Travolta) and he gets in contact with dispatcher, Walter Garber (Washington), who has been recently demoted due to being investigated for taking a bribe.  He makes aconnection with Ryder and he refuses to deal with anyone but Garber.  Ryder demands ten million within a hour or for every minute the payoff is late he will eliminate a hostage.  The Mayor (Gandolfini) okays the deal, but it seems the payoff is putting the stock market through the wringer and the negotiator in charge (Turturro) is wondering if Ryder only wants the money or is making a stock broking gambit with it too make himself obscenely rich.  As the time limit comes and goes Garber has to meet Ryder with the money and what follows is a tense face off and a game of cat and mouse, and who knows who will come out on top in this gambit?</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#008000;">    This is a good film.  Scott&#8217;s direction is great as always.  His style of fast cutting and quick edits is not for everyone, but I always enjoys what he does with the camera.  The film is violent too and never skirts away from showing it.  The way he sets up the SWAT sniper&#8217;s attacks is tense and when everything goes wrong it comes together perfectly.  Hegeland&#8217;s script is tightly woven and he really breathes life into both Ryder and Garber&#8217;s characters.  The cast is good too, Washington and Travolta have great chemistry together and as usual Travolta hams it up and it suits the film well.  Turturro is also good as the negotiator trying to get to the bottom of what is happening here.  I also really enjoyed Gandolfini as the mayor, he brought a much needed comedic element to the film and with all the tense face offs in the film it is much needed for the viewer to catch his breath from time to time.  The action sequences in the film are very good, I especially liked the sniper attack, that was the most memorable one in my book.  This was a tense and exciting film, but in my final estimation it does not add anything great to this type of crime film.  I think the thing that makes this film the most enjoyable was Travolta&#8217;s performance.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#008000;">This one gets 3 out of 5</span></h3>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_2485" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 511px"><img class="size-full wp-image-2485" title="OHD2_int1s" src="http://superheroesofvideo.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/ohd2_int1s.jpg" alt="Revenge is coming." width="501" height="742" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Revenge is coming.</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Há uns meses atrás, o meu amigo páscoa, que lança foguetes nas festas populares e que de vez em quando faz uns trabalhos para a malta do cinema, ligou-me a dizer que um tal de Miguel Gay (lol), lá da terra das laranjas, lhe fez uma encomenda de 14 toneladas de fogo-de-artifício, para uma curta metragem que iria fazer. Perguntei-lhe se não era para o filme Trasformers: Revenge of The Fallen, ao que me respondeu que essa encomenda era 14 milhões maior. Após ser sujeito a tortura, desde as quais digo que me queriam fazer o mesmo que ao Daniel Craig no <a class="zem_slink" title="Casino Royale (2-Disc Widescreen Edition)" rel="amazon" href="http://www.amazon.com/Casino-Royale-2-Disc-Widescreen-Daniel/dp/B000MNP2KI%3FSubscriptionId%3D0G81C5DAZ03ZR9WH9X82%26tag%3Dzemanta-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB000MNP2KI">Casino Royale</a> ou assistir a uma maratona de filmes do Cantinflas, só me sujeitei a ver este filme após ameaças sérias de não tornar a ver filmes de <a class="zem_slink" title="Uwe Boll" rel="homepage" href="http://www.boll-kg.de/">Uwe Boll</a>. Para começar temos bastantes momentos humorísticos durante os 150 minutos de fita. Desde ver a mãe drogada no Campus Universitário, ao regresso aclamado de <a class="zem_slink" title="John Turturro" rel="imdb" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001806/">John Turturro</a>, várias são as vezes que o sorriso nos aparece na face. Mas pelo contrário, todo o fogo-de-artifício utilizado é pouco para o que se vê em ecrã. O Egipto resistiu a Alexandre, o Grande, a Aníbal, a Júlio César ( o Romano, não o Brasileiro), a Hitler e até ao 007 de <a class="zem_slink" title="Roger Moore" rel="imdb" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000549/">Roger Moore</a>, mas não resistiu a <a class="zem_slink" title="Michael Bay" rel="imdb" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000881/">Michael Bay</a>. É vê-lo a arrebentar com pirâmides, casa típicas, monumentos históricos. E não satisfeito, polui oceanos com lixo que esta nos porta-aviões, bota fogo a florestas, arrebenta com universidades. Pelos vistos este homem tem um complexo de rebentar. É feliz quando estoira com alguma coisa. Ouvi dizer que o governo egípcio já pôs um prêmio sob a cabeça de Bay, dois camelos e três bolas de cuzcuz. Acreditem ou não, na invasão por parte das tropas dos U.S.A. em areias do país das Pirâmides, vi um chaimite tuga. Ainda falam dos filmes do Uwe Boll, ponham mas é os olhos nisto. Razão tinha o Shia para andar a fazer caricaturas sobre o poster de <a class="zem_slink" title="Bad Boys/Bad Boys II" rel="amazon" href="http://www.amazon.com/Bad-Boys-II/dp/B000A2X0UK%3FSubscriptionId%3D0G81C5DAZ03ZR9WH9X82%26tag%3Dzemanta-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB000A2X0UK">Bad Boys II</a>.

<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>What?</em></strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s the hottest day of the year in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, and tensions are growing there, with the only local businesses being a Korean grocery and Sal&#8217;s Pizzeria. Mookie, Sal&#8217;s delivery boy, manages to always be at the center of the action.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>Where?</em></strong></p>
<p>14,000 feet up on a Thomson Airlines plane.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>With?</em></strong></p>
<p>About 200 people around me, really annoying, seat-kicking people.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>Why?</em></strong></p>
<p>I’ve always been put off of investigating the back catalogue of Spike Lee due to him coming across as a complete arse in every interview I’ve read with him, but with every new year brings a new best of list, and each year ‘Do the Right Thing’  is listed at a reasonably high placing. So I figure, what the hell? If I’m going to start, why not start here.</p>
<p>After all, even complete asses deserve the benefit of the doubt every now and then.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>Worth It?</em></strong></p>
<p>I wont lie, I wasn’t expecting to like this movie, mainly for the reasons above. But I am more than willing to hold my hands up and admit to being completely wrong on this one. Do the Right Thing is a fantastic debut about the melting pot of a small Brooklyn community, which manages to capture both the spirit of the community as well as the boiling point of racial tensions that underline the films message.</p>
<p>Lee has managed to get together a number of fantastic, flawed characters to help further a story that, granted went a bit terrible in the last 20 minutes, but ultimately entertained and captivated my attention span, a particular shout out to the character of Da Mayor. A drunk? Yes. Loveable? Without a shadow of a doubt.</p>
<p>A testament to how good this film was the fact it distracted from a very bad fear of flying and never once did I have a mid-air panic, something which has happened on every other flight I’ve been on.</p>
<p>Touche Mr. Lee, maybe you are as good as you claim to be.</p>
<p><strong>9/10</strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://cinecafe.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/big-lebowski-diminuto.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1718" title="big lebowski diminuto" src="http://cinecafe.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/big-lebowski-diminuto.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="284" /></a></p>
<p><em>- por Bernardo Brum</em></p>
<p>A era hippie acabou e agora todos estão trabalhando. Mas você sabe, às vezes tem um homem que pode mudar tudo isso.  Sem comunistas, agora no máximo podemos acreditar no discurso deste republicano ou daquele democrata. Mas às vezes existe um homem para provar como nós todos estávamos enganados. Tudo agora é baseado no dinheiro para a caridade, para as artes plásticas ou para fortalecer a máfia da pornografia em videotape, que não sabem mais o que é cinema. Só que as vezes tem um homem que não liga, chega e destrambelha tudo.  E esse homem que eu não conheço não é ninguém importante, mas você sabe que às vezes tem um homem que&#8230; Hum, perdi o fio da meada.</p>
<p>Eis Jeffrey Lebowski, O Cara, exímio jogador de boliche que junto de seus incapazes amigos &#8211; o cardíaco Donny e o psicótico ex-combatente do Vietnã Walter &#8211; é tirado do seu mundo de baseados, white russians e calorosos debates nos clubes onde bolas rolam e pinos caem para fazer as vezes de Sam Spade. Ou de Philip Marlowe. Para aqueles sombrios anos pós-depressão,  o homem era Bogart, gel no cabelo, terno impecável, cigarrinho no canto da boca e frases ferinas. Nesses anos de incrível ressaca moral, nós temos que deixar isso pra lá e buscar compensação por nossos carpetes mijados e nossas fitas do Creedence.</p>
<p>Esse é o dilema moral do Cara. Tomado por um milionário homônimo, tendo seu carpete mijado e tendo que sair por aí atrás de uma ex-atriz pornô casada com o tal Grande Lebowski &#8211; que, segundo o próprio foi raptada por uma gangue de&#8230; niilistas? E, claro, no meio do caminho tendo que aguentar moleques arrogantes, a filha excêntrica do milionário, o síndico afetado, o pederasta <em>mothafucka&#8217;</em>, agiotas do mundo pornô, a polícia, um taxista que é fã do Eagles, os ataques de Walter, e lá vamos nós.</p>
<p>Predileção dos Coen, <em>O Grande Lebowski</em> é um grande filme sobre o nada, a desinformação, a estupidez e a fragilidade da vida. Só O Cara que não parece ligar sobre isso, e em momento algum ele reina soberano &#8211; o mundo faz gato e sapato de um pobre vagabundo metido em uma conspiração digna de um <em>O Falcão Maltês</em> ou <em>À Beira do Abismo</em> que, no final das contas, surgiu apenas por causa do caos que faz de nossas vidas grandes campanhas em nome de coisa alguma e que só foram empreendidas, afinal, porque nós somos estúpidos demais para fazer qualquer coisa útil. Ou preguiçosos, talvez.</p>
<p>Aí, uma bola de feno sendo empurrada por aí pelo vento logo transforma-se em sonhos psicodélicos envolvendo garotas gostosas vestidas de viking em uma pista de boliche, ou cinzas de um defunto sendo jogadas em nosso rosto. É tudo muito frágil, ridiculamente frágil. E é tudo muito estúpido, hilariamente estúpido. O planeta é tão rico em oxigênio quanto em burrice, e assim segue o balaio das grandes epopéias dos inúteis, por gerações. Por que, às vezes, tem um Cara para nos mostrar tudo isso. Às vezes, tem um cara para acender uns baseados e ouvir uns rockzinhos safados antes de terem a cabeça afundada na privada. Às vezes, tem&#8230; um Cara.</p>
<p>5/5</p>
<p><em>Ficha técnica: O Grande Lebowski (The Big Lebowski) &#8211; 1998, EUA. Dir.: Joel e Ethan Coen. Elenco: Jeff Bridges, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Tara Reid, John Turturro, Flea</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>廿年前的作品，今日再看一樣看出味道，Spike Lee的獨立電影眼，廿年前就懂得關懷社區，看得出日常生活的隱藏危機，相比起《撞車》，早廿年頒一個金人給 Spike Lee更為實至名歸吧。</p>
<p>天才橫溢，光芒四射，唯一我估唔到的，是Spike Lee雖然早成荷里活注目導演，但至今的作品依然堅持己見，寧願拍自己深愛、言之有物的題材，也不似蘇德堡先生的早改走荷里活的金光糖衣大道，故此，Spike Lee其後大部分作品連在港公映機會都無，甚為可惜。</p>
<p>一個沒有「壞人」的社區，因何都會導致一場不可收拾的悲劇，Spike Lee放輕了種族、貧富的嚴肅討論，卻以一個非常炎熱的平常日子來道出一切，Spike Lee 親自飾演的薄餅仔 Mookie心如導演，游走社區了解社群卻依然無能為力，如此，那一個垃圾筒是注定要掟的，掟出對國家、對社會、對階層的種種不滿。</p>
<p>廿年了，階級問題越來越嚴重，舊社區的生活還是被人遺棄，假如真說改變了的，不是冰山不再融解，而是白宮主人換上一層黑皮膚，只是前路一樣茫茫。</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The Movie Overdose attempts to contain the apocalypse with a review of Roland Emmerich&#8217;s 2012. We chat about how we would change Eddie Murphy for the better, what kind of sequel we want for Star Trek and whether we are glad to see Sean Connery coming back, if only in voice form. Tom slightly dampens the praise given to An Education and Sam revels in the madness of Running Scared and the flawed ambition of Dogma. The conclusion involves a discussion of actors that, no matter what, we always look forward to seeing on screen.</p>

<description><![CDATA[DVD Top 10. Bestsellerliste der Woche von Illuminati bis State of Play Illuminati: Robert Langdon (T]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>DVD Top 10.<br />
Bestsellerliste der Woche</strong><br />
<em>von Illuminati bis State of Play</em></p>
<p><strong>Illuminati</strong>:<br />
Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) entdeckt Beweise, dass die mächtigste Untergrundbewegung der Geschichte, ein uralter konspirativer Geheimbund, den man als &#8216;Die Illuminati&#8217; kennt, wiederauferstanden ist. Kurz darauf wird er damit konfrontiert, dass die katholische Kirche, der zutiefst verhasste Erzfeind der Illuminaten, einer tödlichen, existenzvernichtenden Bedrohung ausgesetzt ist&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Nachts im Museum 2</strong>:<br />
Seine Tage als Museumswärter sind passé: Larry Daley ist als Erfinder nutzloser Dinge erfolgreich, kehrt jedoch ins Museum zurück, als er erfährt, dass die seinerzeit zu Leben erwachten Ausstellungsstücke in den Keller des Smithsonian in New York verfrachtet werden sollen. Ruhe ist allerdings auch dort nicht angesagt, weil auch die mystische Tafel von Akhmenrah, die den Exponaten Leben einhaucht, versehentlich zum neuen Ausstellungsort transportiert wurde. Nun bricht dort das Chaos aus, und Larry muss für Ordnung sorgen&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Slumdog Millionär</strong>:<br />
Glauben Sie an das Schicksal? Für Jamal Malik (Dev Patel) ist es der größte Tag seines bisherigen Lebens. Nur noch eine Frage trennt ihn vom 20 Millionen Rupien-Hauptgewinn in Indiens TV- Show &#8216;Wer wird Millionär?&#8217;</p>
<p><strong>Der Womanizer</strong>:<br />
Der Junggeselle Connor Mead (Matthew McConaughey) gehört zu den Typen, die drei Freundinnen den Laufpass geben. Gleichzeitig. Per Telefonkonferenz. Auf der Hochzeitsfeier seines Bruders hat er also nur ein Ziel: Er will die einzige Brautjungfer herumkriegen, die er bisher irgendwie übersehen hat. Doch der Geist seines verstorbenen Onkels Wayne (Michael Douglas) &#8211; der Connor beigebracht hat, die Frauen zu wechseln wie die Hemden &#8211; verfolgt ein ganz anderes Ziel&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Star Trek &#8211; Die Zukunft hat begonnen</strong>:<br />
James T. Kirk ist ein rebellischer Hitzkopf im amerikanischen Niemandsland, der nie den Tod seines Vaters bei einem Angriff eines romulanischen Raumschiffs verkraftet hat. Nach einer seiner Prügeleien fordert ihn Captain Pike, einst ein Freund seines verstorbenen Vaters, auf, der Sternenflotte beizutreten. Dort macht sich Kirk zunächst keine Freunde, bis ihn eine Mission zwingt, endlich Verantwortung zu übernehmen: der Romulaner Nero bedroht Vulkan, den Heimatplaneten von Kirks späterem Weggefährten Spock&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Transformers 2</strong>:<br />
Nachdem Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) die Welt mit Hilfe der gutmütigen Autobots vor den bösartigen Decepticons gerettet hat, freut er sich auf ein normales Leben. Als er aufs College geht, lässt er nicht nur Freundin Mikaela (Megan Fox) zurück&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>X-Men Origins: Wolverine</strong>:<br />
Hugh Jackman schlüpft wieder in die Rolle, die ihn zum Superstar machte: Wolverine &#8211; der Mann mit den unverkennbaren Stahlklingen, bemerkenswerten Selbstheilungskräften, ruppigem Charme und einer gehörigen Portion trockenem Humor. &#8216;X-Men Origins: Wolverine&#8217; erzählt die Vorgeschichte Logans mit Augenmerk auf seine mysteriöse Vergangenheit, seine komplexe Beziehung zu Victor Creed (Liev Schreiber) und das ominöse Weapon X-Programm. Der Zuschauer erfährt, wer Wolverine wirklich ist&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Duplicity</strong>:<br />
CIA-Offizier Claire Stenwick (Julia Roberts) und MI6-Agent Ray Koval (Clive Owen) standen früher im Geheimdienst ihrer Regierungen. Derzeit haben sie in die Privatwirtschaft gewechselt, um mit lukrativen Verträgen das meiste aus dem Kalten Krieg herauszuholen. Beide jagen jeweils für ihre Bosse Tully (Tom Wilkinson) und Garsik (Paul Giamatti) einem milliardenschweren Patent nach. Keiner ahnt, dass sie eine heimliche Affäre und eigene Pläne haben&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Männersache</strong>:<br />
Tagsüber arbeitet Paul (Mario Barth) in einer Berliner Zoohandlung und abends an seiner Karriere als Komiker. Zugegeben, seine Auftritte laufen mies… bis Paul anfängt, Witze über seinen besten Freund Hotte (Dieter Tappert) und dessen Freundin Susi (Anja Kling) zu reißen. Auf einmal läuft es auf der Bühne: Pauls Gags über Hottes Beziehungsgeschichten, nicht enden wollende Shopping-Orgien von Susi und den Pärchen Kaffeeklatsch bei den Schwiegereltern sind ein Renner&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>State of Play &#8211; Stand der Dinge</strong>:<br />
Ein junger aufstrebender Politiker und ein Washingtoner Enthüllungsreporter finden sich mitten im Epizentrum einer Reihe von Morden wieder, die nur scheinbar nichts miteinander zu tun haben. Der Kongressabgeordnete Stephen Collins (Ben Affleck) ist Hoffnung und Zukunft seiner Partei &#8211; ein aussichtsreicher und ehrenhafter Newcomer, unter anderem im Vorsitz des Komitees für Verteidigungsausgaben&#8230;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>November 9, 2009</strong></p>
<p> I always hope these movies will give me ideas as a writer.  This movie <em>Special </em>probably not so much, although it was a thinking movie, just not about my kind of thoughts.  I don’t think much about drugs, comics or being a superhero or even flying.  But all the same, it’s a good movie for a lot of people who like to think about those subjects, and I don’t deny that they are good subjects to think about. </p>
<p> <em>What Just Happened</em></p>
<p><em> </em>This is a movie with an unbelievable number of movie stars in it, Robin Wright Penn, and Sean Penn, Stanley Tucci, Robin DeNiro.  They live in immense houses; it’s hard to imagine.  Most people I know in Los Angeles are hardly making it, but that’s because I know way too many writers.  Great line, “For that kind of money, they expect millions of menstruating women to want to have sex with him.” Apparently women don’t want to have sex with guys who have beards or have extra weight on them.  Now that’s kind of fun to think about as a writer.  Bruce Willis has a beard and he doesn’t want to shave it.  What they’re playing with of course is actors with huge egos.  Strangely, as an editor, I have to deal with writers with huge egos too. Even poets.  You would think there would not be poets with huge egos, but there definitely are.  Some poets have egos so large, they can barely fit in a room.  A very funny movie, very Hollywood.  I would recommend it. Reminded me of some writers I know.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-435" title="margot-at-the-wedding" src="http://miguelvaca.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/margot-at-the-wedding.jpg" alt="margot-at-the-wedding" width="509" height="755" /></p>
<p>Conozco a <em>Noah Baumbach</em> desde 2004 cuando hizo equipo con <em>Wes Anderson</em> en <em>The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou</em> y me pareció formidable la historia. Repiten equipo en <em>Fantastic Mr. Fox</em> este año y estoy muy ansioso de verla. Ahora bien si hubiera elegido esta peli por el director de pronto no la hubiera visto porque primero no lo conozco tanto y segundo no lo conozco tanto.</p>
<p>Esta peli la ví por <em>Jack Black</em>. Pueden actuar <em>Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, John Turturro, Ciarán Hinds</em> y aún así no hubiera entrado. Todos son excelentes actores, es más que reparto tan basto, pero el nombre de la peli y esta combinación de actores sólo podía ser característica de un género en particular que no me agrada tanto y es el melodrama. Pensé que con <em>Black</em> hubiera un chance de que fuera una tragicomedia o algo por el estilo, ya la había embrrado una vez en 2006 cuando vi <em>The Holiday</em> pero pues me podía dar esa oportunidad.</p>
<p>Mis sospechas se hicieron reales, la peli es un melodrama psicológico donde dos hermanas exorcisan sus demonios y se demuestran la una a la otra sus errores. Son las mejores amigas pero igual no son capaces de convivir. De lejos, su relación es melancólica, cálida, entrañadora y nostálgica. De cerca, son agresivas, pasivo-agresivas, bipolares y orgullosas.</p>
<p>No digo que sea mala, no llena mis expectativas, no me conmueve ese tipo de relaciones y situaciones. <em>Baumbach</em> decidió hacer una obra para ser actuada y escogió un reparto ideal. Todo está armado para resaltar las actuaciones y sus diálogos, incluso la cinematografía según ellos mismos explican (<em>Baumbach</em> y <em>Harris Savides</em> cinematógrafo de la peli) fue desarrollada en planos de una sóla toma para que al unirlos en corte de planos sencillos da una sensación incluso de un documental argumentativo. Perfecto. Llega a tal punto ese protagonismo la actuación que siento no hay un desenlace claro de la historia y más que un final abierto se deja la sensación de una obra inconclusa, a medio terminar.</p>
<p>Tomar la decisión de ver la peli por los actores es una acción correcta. Por mi lado, la próxima peli de <em>Baumbach</em>, que no sea en equipo con <em>Anderson</em>, me voy a dar el lujo de dejarla pasar y esperarla en TV o DVD.</p>
<p>Nota Personal. La aproximación y deslumbrante actuación de Nicole Kidman se ven completamente opacadas con el exceso de botox en su cara. Las escenas verdaderamente dramáticas muestran unas facciones y gestos en contra de natura perfectas para otro tipo de géneros fílmicos. Una lástima ya que una gran actriz se está perdiendo en su propia vanidad.</p>

<p>The Stephen Siller Children’s Foundation is proud to launch its first annual Gala fundraiser to be held at Cipriani Wall Street. Former Mayor of New York City, Rudolph Giuliani will serve as Honoree Chair, and Actor, John Turturro will serve as Honorary Hero.<!--more--></p>
<p>The black-tie event at Cipriani Wall Street will include a cocktail hour, live entertainment, sit-down dinner, and live and silent auctions. It will last from 6PM – 11 PM. Tickets will be available for $600. For additional information about the event or the Foundation, please visit the Gala’s Web site at www.stephensillerfoundationgala.org</p>
<p>Known for their Tunnel to Towers Run attended by 30,000 people annually, the Foundation was created in honor of fallen New York Fire Fighter, Stephen Siller, who dedicated his life to helping those in need. The guiding principle that shapes this monumental event is that every child matters and no child’s need is too small to benefit from the grace and power of caring.</p>
<p>“We are so excited for the Gala, as it’s a continuation of the current of goodness that Stephen’s life and death set into motion,” says Frank Siller, brother of Stephen.  “Our family is particularly grateful to Mayor Giuliani and John Turturro for their support and dedication to this cause.”</p>
<p>Stephen’s legacy functions as the clearest reminder that giving is vital to our communities and especially children. Proceeds from the Gala fundraiser will go to sponsoring educational scholarships for children who have lost one or both parents in the line of duty by providing the Freedom Alliance Scholarship as well as counseling, financial support and other related activities in an effort to bring hope and healing to children who are abandoned, abused and orphaned. The core belief of the Foundation is that every time we change a child’s life for the better, we change the future. One child at a time, we can make the world a better place.</p>
<p>About Stephen Siller</p>
<p>Stephen Siller’s story is both inspiring and compelling. On September 11, 2001, off-duty New York Fire Fighter Stephen Siller — a father of five and himself an orphan by age 10 — heard what was happening in lower Manhattan. His determination and unyielding dedication to others compelled him to exit his truck when he could no longer drive due to chaos from the attacks, and run on foot with 80 lbs of gear from the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the Twin Towers. He gave his life to save fellow New Yorkers and global citizens that fateful day, and we are inspired by his faithful life mission to always help those in need. Stephen lived his life with a full understanding of the importance of helping people. From his work to his family and friends, he died the way he lived.</p>
<p>About The Stephen Siller Children’s Foundation</p>
<p>The Stephen Siller Children’s Foundation is invested in the principle that all children matter. The Foundation’s main mission is to aid the “forgotten” children of this world.</p>
<p>At the early age of 10 Stephen lost both of his parents, but was blessed to have a network of siblings and loved ones growing up. Not all orphaned children are so fortunate. The core belief of the Foundation is that every time we change a child’s life for the better, we change the future. One child at a time, we can make the world a better place. The Foundation is a non-profit organization operated by volunteers, allowing all funds to be distributed directly to eligible children. The Foundation sponsors educational scholarships, counseling, financial support and other related activities in an effort to bring hope and healing to these young people. The Stephen Siller Children’s Foundation works closely with the New York Foundling — a safe place for orphaned children. The Foundation is also committed to providing resources to children who have lost one or both parents — firefighters, military, police officers — in the line of duty.</p>
