SHERMINE SHARIVA

Mit diesem Busen hat das deutsch-iranische Model Shermine Sharivar (27) das Herz von Hollywood-Export Thomas Kretschmann (47, „Operation Walküre“) erobert!

Auf der Aftershow-Party der „Bambi“-Verleihung hielt der dreifache Papa seine schönste(n) Trophäe(n) gewissenhaft im Auge, schoss stolz Fotos vom sparsam in „Armani privée“ verpackten Traum-Dekolleté seiner neuen Liebe.

Shermine ist auf dem Weg nach oben.
Bisher hat sie ja hauptsächlich in Schönheitswettbewerben auf sich aufmerksam gemacht („Miss Europe“ 2005). Das könnte sich bald ändern.

Shermine (hat übrigens Politik studiert!) wurde ja auch schon eine Affäre mit Fürst Albert von Monaco (51) nachgesagt. Die Karriere brachte diese Liaison nicht entscheidend nach vorne. Was aber, wenn Kretschmann sie nach Hollywood entführt?

Im prüden Amerika wird diese Oberweite wie eine Bombe einschlagen.!

Mostow’s undoubted ability does not lie in his screenwriting talents, indeed his screenplay for both this and his equally excellent Breakdown showed periods of uncertainty in pace and forward movement.

No, Mostow’s ability comes in creating good, old-fashioned tension and excitement with well-crafted action sequences. He creates a number of breath-holding scenes here, with the undoubted highlights being the two major depth charge sequences. He builds the scene with a combination of sound effects and occasional underwater visual effects but the excitement, created almost exclusively using sound effects, at the culmination of these scenes – where loads of depth charges go off in quick succession – is astonishing.

Performances from all are fine. McConaughey is rather good and has, in the eyes of critics and presumably movie producers, got his career back on track. He had the equal misfortune and fortune to work with three of Hollywood’s top directors in film’s that were generally lukewarmly received by both critics and audiences alike. Not me, however. I thought that Steven Spielberg’s Amistad, Robert Zemeckis’ Contact and Ron Howard’s Edtv were all thoroughly brilliant films and that McConaughey was excellent in them. Harvey Keitel is rather good as the afore-mentioned salty sea dog. Bill Paxton is inconsistent: generally he is trademark bland but he really nails the scene where he tells McConaughey’s disappointed Executive Officer that he needs to be able to instantly sacrifice his best friend’s life for the sake of the boat in order to qualify as a submarine captain. McConaughey’s realisation that Paxton’s Captain is right is also well-acted.

SCOTS actor Brian Cox is part of a star-studded cast for a new BBC drama about the sinking of the RMS Laconia by a German u-boat in 1942.

Cox, 63, – who previously starred in blockbuster The Bourne Supremacy and X-Men II – will appear in The Sinking Of The Laconia as the heroic Captain Sharp, who evacuated many of the ship’s passengers before it sank.

Captain Sharp’s knowledge and swift action was said to be instrumental in saving many lives – because his previous ship had also been torpedoed by the Germans.

Sharp controlled the chaos onboard the ill-fated vessel, before evacuating the woman and children from the ship.

The Dundee-born actor – who usually portrays villains like Hannibal Lecter in Manhunter – will star alongside Andrew Buchan, who has featured in the award-winning drama Cranford and ITV’s The Fixer.The part is a return to television for the 63-year-old, who divides his time between big Hollywood productions and working with young actors at the Scottish Youth Theatre.

Also joining Brian Cox will be award-winning actress and fellow Scot, Lindsay Duncan, who has previously starred in the HBO series Rome and spy series Spooks.

Edinburgh-born Duncan, 58, has recently portrayed Margaret Thatcher’s last days in office as prime minister, which was screened in February this year.

The fate of the Cunard ocean liner – which had been converted into an armed carrier for Italian prisoners – is famous because of the efforts of the u-boat’s commander made to rescue the crew and passengers.

U-boat Commander Werner Hartenstein mounted a rescue operation and crammed the deck of his submarine with the survivors.

But his vessel was attacked by a US bomber and forced to leave them behind in the water, 130 miles from land.

The BBC drama – which began filming on Saturday – also includes top German actor Thomas Kretschmann, who played a Nazi officer opposite Adrien Brody in the Oscar-winning film, The Pianist.

Mais uma semana, mais uma edição do Cine em Cena. A escala é a seguinte: de 0 a 2, não assista – não vale nem R$1,99! 3 é por sua conta, assista e tire sua conclusão. 4 e 5 eu “agarantio”: pode assistir sossegado, vale R$1,99!

A era do Gelo 3:  Scrat continua tentando agarrar a noz fujona (e nesse processo, talvez acabe encontrando o verdadeiro amor); Manny e Ellie esperam o nascimento de seu bebê mamute; a preguiça Sid forma sua própria família adotiva seqüestrando alguns ovos de dinossauro; e Diego, o tigre dentes-de-sabre, se pergunta se não está ficando molenga demais devido à convivência com seus amigos. Em uma missão para resgatar o azarado Sid, a turma se aventura por um misterioso mundo subterrâneo, onde dão de cara com dinossauros, lutam contra plantas carnívoras de fúria assassina e conhecem uma destemida doninha de um olho só, caçadora de dinossauros, chamada Buck.

Nota: 5. Tive coragem de ir ao cinema para assistir esse filme. Adorei. Uma animação bem ao nível da primeira e da segunda edição de “A era do Gelo”. Para o estilo, nota 5! É diversão garantida… 

O vidente:  Cris Johnson possui o dom de prever detalhadamente os acontecimentos que ocorrem à sua volta. Cansado de todos os exames que fazia quando jovem, o que chamou a atenção do governo americano, ele decide mudar de nome e vai trabalhar como mágico em Las Vegas. Mas, quando um terrorista ameaça explodir uma bomba em Los Angeles, a agente Callie Ferris faz de tudo para convencê-lo a ajudar o governo e tentar evitar uma tragédia.

 Nota: 5. Muito bom! A sinopse, que para mim é muito estranha, esconde um filme cheio de ações e com uma interessante. Em alguns momento o ritmo do filme cai, mas nada que possa tirar o brilhantismo da obra.  

Loucas por amor, viciadas por dinheiro: Bridget Cardigan é uma dona-de-casa dedicada. Quando seu marido Don é demitido e ela descobre que pode perder sua casa e a vida confortável, aceita a única vaga disponível no Banco Central americano, após anos sem trabalhar. Lá, percebe ter muito em comum com suas colegas de trabalho: Nina, uma mãe solteira com dois filhos para criar, e Jackie, uma livre e exuberante mulher, sem nada a perder. Cansadas de um sistema que subestima seus valores e sonhos, as três amigas se unem e põem em ação um roubo ao banco.

Nota: 5. Esse sim parecia ser uma b****. Que nada! Filme muito legal, com uma trama mais que bem bolada, mas com um final muito trucado. Talvez por isso não tenha sido um 5 com tanto louvor.

Fim dos tempos: Uma crise ambiental cataclismática, de larga escala, força a humanidade a combater a natureza para sobreviver. Um força ou vírus estaria fazendo a população enlouquecer e cometer suícidio. Elliot Moore é um professor de ciências que tenta proteger os seus filhos da fúria da natureza.

Nota: 4. Se o filme citado acima parecia ser ruim e arrebentou, “Fim dos Tempos” deixou a desejar. No canal Telecine ele foi muito anunciado e parecia ser a oitava maravilha. Não foi. É até interessante, tem um final bem holiudiano e já deixa indícios do próximo filme “Fim dos Tempos”.

Treze homens e um novo segredo: Danny Ocean e seus comparsas se unem novamente para vingar seu velho amigo Reuben Tishkoff, que foi enganado por Willie Banks, magnata dono de um grande cassino em Las Vegas. Desta vez, o plano para quebrar o inimigo consiste em fazer com que cada jogador no cassino de Banks ganhe dinheiro a cada nove minutos.

Nota: 3. Esse eu esperava muito. Não gostei. Chato e dá sono. Tem até uma história interessante, mas está longe de ser o sucesso que foi “Onze homens e um segredo”.

Então é isso, moçada… Aos que gostam de um bom filme, as dicas seguem acima! Agora é só preparar a pipoca e cair “matando”.

CAST: Tom Cruise, Kenneth Branagh, Terrence Stamp, Ian McNiece, Bill Nighy, Eddie Izzard, Bernard Hill, Carice Van Houten, Thomas Kretschmann, Tom Wilkinson

While this film is full of tension and suspense. I found it hard to stay fully interested the film feels very cold and while I usually like that it also felt false like I was watching a Hollywood production none of it felt too real even though it is based on a true story.

The film feels like Tom cruise trying to make a comeback and how could you not admire the world’s top action star taking on Hitler.

The film is not as bad as it was thought to be when it first came out. Thankfully the film picks up speed in the second hour. Then it becomes a tale of heroism and honor of course it doesn’t end happily almost like the comic book WHAT IF? Tales but it does make it’s point in showing a group taking a stand for what’s right even though they know the consequences are death.

The scenes tom cruise shares with his on-screen wife have no chemistry though his character thinks the world of her. It almost seems like he hated her. He had more chemistry with his Assistant in the film.

The film didn’t make me feel anything sitting through it I felt ambivalent about almost all the things that would be happening on screen. It’s not horrible but I really had to fight hard to pay attention to the film at least the first half. The second half of the film once the main plot gets started breezes by if only the rest of the film was like that.

The film was also held back with a PG-13 rating as it is technically a war film you can’t show but so much carnage.

The cast is good filled with character actors They are the ones responsible for making the film come alive with there performances especially Tom Willkinson,

The film is not a bad effort but I expected more not of tom cruise but at least of Director Bryan Singer who is back in his element in making a thriller maybe he is bogged down that this is a historical fact based story so he can only deviate but so far. The film definitely has style the substance should be exciting and grabbing but it comes off as like a minor tale cooked up and not given the full blown treatment it deserves and you would come to expect from a tom cruise film it almost feels small like a independent

It’s a satisfying rental, but I wouldn’t buy it

GRADE: C+
