Blogs about: Movies

Some say that there are only a handful of basic plots that are recycled over and over in movies. Nonetheless, cinema is one of the most lucrative and important cultural phenomena in the world. Americans spend millions each weekend seeing the latest flicks, even when the economy is tanking. Why? Well, this guy said it best (extracted from this article): “It’s not rocket science. People want to forget their troubles, and they want to be with other people.”

Review – Upstream Colour
Popcorn Junkie

Multitasking filmmaking maestro, Shane Carruth, proves he is fast becoming the puzzle master of filmmaking with ‘Upstream Colour’. It’s a sumptuous enigma that’s intricately constructed and a beautifully shot film that would make Terrence Malick blush. Kris (Amy Seimetz) and Jeff (Carruth) get caught in the life cycle of an organism that puts a dent in their lives. The duo and others who come into contact with the creature struggle to make sense of the strange chain of events affecting them. ‘Upstream Colour’ follows the same style as Carruth’s previously directed film ‘Primer’. You are dropped into the situation with no guidance or signposts to the plot. There is no character who dishes out lengthy explanations and there is no scrolling text opener. Carruth’s film is one of genuine discovery and it’s built on beautiful visuals by the director who is also his own cinematographer (writer, actor, producer and composer as well). The film deals with micr

How to Make an Indie Movie
The Ginge Binge

Seeing as I am a recently graduated film student, it is only fitting that I put my newly found free time to good use by writing a screenplay. This is a standard cliche that all jobless young adults do once they have earned their degree in Production, and I figure now is as good a time as ever to get crackin’ on it.  Alas, knowing full well that I have zero connections in the industry and a negative income, the production value of said film will be next to nothing if it ever is going to be produced, and would undoubtably be an independent film with next to no budget. Now, I have done my fair share of indie-movie watching in order to master my knowledge on the subject, and I have come to the conclusion that there are 15 things that every indie film needs in order to be successful… 1. Americana Suburbs: Seemingly every indie-movie takes place in Middle-America in a predominantly white suburb, with medium-income residents and virtually no unique features.  The houses all tend t

Lettuce Be Clear

“BECAUSE FOR THIS ONE TIME LOW, LOW PRICE OF $160 A MONTH, TIME WARNER CAN SIGN YOU UP FOR CABLE TV AND A LIFETIME OF MULTI-MEDIUM HARASSMENT!” Time Warner Cable is stalking me. Seriously. I’m pretty sure that right now, they are outside my apartment in a Scream mask getting cuddly with my bushes. You know you want my great, big bandwidth. And I want to give it to you. You know how you enter into a new relationship with high hopes? You’re imagining your future together? The picture is soft and gauzy around the edges; lazy Saturday nights with a bowl of air-popped popcorn and a bottle (err… glass) of wine just sitting there… watching Elizabethtown and wondering why Orlando Bloom never gets on any of your flights and then BAM! You start to notice the red flags. They kind of trickle in at first, because you don’t want to believe it. You want to keep that happy picture alive– you, Netflix, quiet nights at home watching Bring It On for the 80t

When in Doubt, Drink Bourbon
Fan by Association

I just watched my first episode of Squidbillies, and I have to say, it was mildly entertaining. In the past, I have used this show to fall asleep, deeming it unworthy of a late night watch, but tonight, while waiting for my it Works! Wrap to start to tingle, listing e-bay items and having a snack, I’m a great multi-tasker, I got sucked in. I was more or less surprised that I laughed aloud, such a moment is rare, especially during some jacked up cartoon. I found it to be intoxicating and couldn’t resist. This is probably due to the fact that I didn’t sleep well last night and got less than my normal 5 hours of sleep. Ah the joys of insomnia… Anyhow, I’m suited up. Got my Skinny Wrap securely in place, wrapped three times over with cellophane cling-wrap stuff and a corset, just to keep it in place. That should do the trick! The only problem? I’m slightly immobilized. Of course, I want this to work, so sitting up for a long period is out of the question

Morgan Freeman in 1st LEGO Movie Trailer
Dreamatorium Redux

In Theaters February 7th 2014 The film, the first-ever full length theatrical LEGO movie, follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. Starring Will Arnett, Elizabeth Banks, Chris Pratt, Morgan Freeman, Alison Brie, Will Ferrell, Liam Neeson I didn’t think Warner Bros was actually serious when they said they had plans to do a movie based off Legos about a year ago—but this actually looks kinda funny. I need to see more footage to decide whether I’ll rent or go see this in theaters though. What’d you think of the trailer?  Source: machinima

Movie Review: This Is the End [2013]
The Warning Sign

This Is the End [2013] Directors: Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen Screenplay: Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen Genre: Action/Comedy Starring: James Franco, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Craig Robinson, Danny McBride Running Time: 107 minutes “Something not so chill happened last night.” This Is the End is the type of comedy that has something for everyone. Its cast is a veritable who’s who of today’s most popular comedians (all of whom are playing themselves), there are a number of hilarious cameo appearances and, of course, seemingly endless raunchy jokes. Oh, and it’s an apocalyptic flick that isn’t afraid to show its fair share of gore. When Jay Baruchel arrives in Los Angeles, he’s expecting a weekend of sitting around, getting high and playing video games with his old friend, Seth Rogen. However, Baruchel is reluctantly dragged to a housewarming party held by James Franco where a large number of Rogen’s other, “new” frie

Riddick
Comparative Geeks

I know some people probably look at this movie and just think of it as trash, but I am super excited for Riddick. Part of my excitement is that the movie is getting back to what was awesome about Pitch Black. The monsters in the dark and having to choose what is the worse monster to have to face; Riddick  or the creatures tearing you limb from limb. Now this is not to say that I did not love Chronicles of Riddick, but where these movies work best is in the amazing fight sequences and just watching Riddick be bad ass. This new movie looks like just that. More bounty hunters coming after Riddick, but in the end they need him to survive.

FILM REVIEW: OH BOY
Natalie Salvo's Written Portfolio

A day in the life of a slacker, twenty-something living in Berlin may not sound like everybody’s cup of tea. But this guy’s more concerned with coffee anyway. The actual day is a rather momentous one with a series of mishaps and unfortunate events, making this story seem a little different to the one originally described. In fact, Oh Boy could be a lot like your own life due to the absurdities that pepper it and the colourful characters that inhabit it. The film is the directorial debut from Jan Ole Gerster and has recently won numerous awards at German’s own version of the Oscars. Gerster also wrote the film’s screenplay and this light comedy is full of funny moments, witty observations and sharp dialogue. The pace occasionally drifts by like its slacker star but when this is coupled with a jaunty jazz soundtrack, it’s fair to say things are kept fun and upbeat. Niko Fischer (Tom Schilling) is a law school drop-out who has been living off his father’s allowance. In the course of a day

On Sleep Deprivation and What Led Me To Start This Blog
Fuzzy Pickles: A Blog

It’s quite interesting, the things that spring to mind when you can’t sleep. I’ve found myself lying in bed thinking about different things. Thinking, thinking, then asking myself, why have I not fallen asleep yet? So I’ll sit up and try to keep myself from checking my phone because somewhere back in my brain I remember that looking at screens causes stimulation and makes it difficult to sleep. So instead I’ll read a magazine. Coincidentally, the magazine is Wired, a magazine about technology. Eventually this gets my brain churning and I decide to get on the computer and make this blog, something I’ve been meaning to do for a while, thus ignoring the thing I told myself not to do. So here it is I suppose. Fuzzy Pickles: A Blog. A moniker taken from the cult classic video game Earthbound. A game that was given to me when I was six by my father. A game I played frequently growing up but never understood until high school. I owe a lot to the game becaus

Fake anger, computer sound issues, lotion, natural stuff, stress
Epixome

Yesterday, Michael picked me up on time. We went back to his place – we talked about medicine, dirty stuff, temptation, Ian, Vanessa, Krista, no drunk driving, stress, black coffee, energy / being lethargic, tortillas, alcohol, my doing a good job in learning certain things, crying, tests, worry, virginity, my computer sound issues, jackhammers, being lazy / in bed, mango pop, his loving my consideration, tamarind pop, tamarind crab, and pig’s blood cubes. Things happened pretty naturally, possibly fueled by alcohol and REALLY wanting it. (at least, the first time) I was patient and understanding, which I’m sure he appreciated. Also discussed weird dreams, personal stuff, scents, lotion, tortillas with cheese and jalapeno peppers / black coffee, happiness, water, touch, my wanting to eventually represent stability, no marriage or kids, feelings, jokes about threesomes / tapes, my fake anger being cute to him (not sure about the real anger!), Chinese / German, family n
