<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This tardy episode is the result of a series of unfortunate events.  First, our guest didn't show due to rampant alcoholism, then after continuing bravely forward and recording anyway, Grae's computer erased their efforts.  Enter BJ Serviss, one of our Best Friends of the Show, who came in on short notice to offer his opinion on both<a href="http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/hancock/" target="_blank"> Hancock </a>and <a href="http://www.sonyclassics.com/thewackness/" target="_blank">The Wackness</a>.</p>
<p>In this episode, Gariana repeatedly asserts that Grae is the Wackness and she is the Dopeness, BJ shares that he secretly delights in watching Jared Leto get beat up in Fight Club, and Grae won't stop singing Biz Markie.  Between arguing about whether the phrase "Jeal Jeal" will catch on, they discuss <a href="http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/thecuriouscaseofbenjaminbutton/" target="_blank">The Curious Case of Benjamin Button</a> and <a href="http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/thedaytheearthstoodstill/" target="_blank">The Day the Earth Stood Still</a>.  BJ wraps up by expressing firm views on <a href="http://www.apple.com/trailers/disney/beverlyhillschihuahua/" target="_blank">Beverly Hills Chihuahua</a> and Gariana counters by threatening to defacate on Grae's floor.  Just another week.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-471" src="http://redherrings.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/zodiac24.jpg?w=128" alt="" width="128" height="85" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443706/">IMDB</a></p>
<p>(2007, David Fincher)</p>
<p>To say that this movie owes a lot to 1976's <em>All the President's Men</em> is an understatement. From the visual aspects to the newsroom banter to the creepy scenes of intrigue, David Fincher owes Sidney Lumet a letter of gratitude. Don't you miss the days of newspapers actually being relevant?</p>
<p>The focus of the story is on the quest for the elusive Zodiac killer instead of the actual killings, and it's an endeavor that plays out like a riddle, drawing its participants in and taking over their lives. The film goes on too long - perhaps because the case is so intricate and remains unsolved - but it captures the haunting feeling that the Zodiac case has for those obsessed with it. Unfortunately, the film unravels near the end, since by nature, it's leading down a series of blind alleys. The trifecta of lead actors, Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo and Robert Downey, Jr are solid (if a tad too quirky), and director Fincher is admirably restrained.</p>
<p>I also need to download Donovan's "Hurdy-Gurdy Man" after watching this film. Haven't heard it since the Butthole Surfers' cover in the early 90s.</p>

<p>Paramount studios  just ditched David Fincher's "Heavy Metal" film adapted from the popular adult fantasy comic, a magazine where you can buy at newstands everywhere. Fincher was set to produce the film and to direct one of the stories. Paramount turned down the offer to get the film made because they felt the content was too risque for mainstream audiences, probably due to it's controversial violence and sexual content.</p>
<p>More on it here:</p>
<p><a href="http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2008/07/david-fincher.html">http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2008/07/david-fincher.html</a></p>
<p>That article called Fincher's film a "remake", it is not. The new "Heavy Metal" film will feature new stories so it will be different than the 1981 film. If you read earlier articles about Fincher's "Heavy Metal", they all said it wasn't a remake.</p>
<p>It's no surprise to me that Paramount wouldn't do this. I don't think any major movie studios would do this, Warner Bros. would probably turn it down too.</p>
<p>I would say either Lionsgate or Nu Image/Millenium would be the most likely studios that would be willing to do this film.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The majority of this film, I would say, is nothing more than a meticulously handled above average crime thriller. However, once Jake Gyllenhaal's character becomes the centrepiece, things quickly escalate. I have to admit, Jake is one of my favourite working actors, and he nails his role in <em>Zodiac </em>perfectly. Fincher's style is used in moderation, which is nice, and he does well in recreating the time period. The film can feel slow at times, and seems overly long, but it more than makes up for it with an excellent third act. Easily my favourite Fincher yet, and one of the best crime thrillers I can remember since <em>The Silence of the Lambs</em>.</p>

<p>The project is an amaglam of erotic and violent storylines penned by well-known sci-fi scribes like Steve Niles (30 Days of Night), Joe Haldeman (The Forever War), and Neal Asher (Gridlinked).

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://unpodimondo.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/fight.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-115" src="http://unpodimondo.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/fight.png" alt="" width="300" height="424" /></a></p>
<p>Alcune settimane fa ho avuto l'occasione di rivedere lo splendido film di David Fincher del 1999 che ha fra i suoi protagonisti Brad Pitt, Helena Bonham Carter ed Edward Norton. Rimane intatto il mio giudizio positivo sulla regia, sui tempi del film e sull'ottima recitazione dei protagonisti ma devo dire che soprattutto, a quasi 10 anni dalla sua uscita,  il film mantiene tutta la sua attualità nella critica alla nostra società capitalistica,  consumistica e alienante che tratta gli esseri umani soltanto come ingranaggi del meccanismo <em>nasci-produci-compra-crepa </em>dove coloro che non si adattano a questo modello sono considerati dalla nostra società come rifiuti o come pericolosi eversori terroristi.</p>
<p>Avete notato che negli ultimi tempi chi si oppone alle scelte del potere (dalla TAV, agli inceneritori e alle basi militari USA) viene bollato dai media come un pericoloso estremista anche se si tratta di un tranquillo pensionato centenario che vorrebbe trascorrere in santa pace i suoi ultimi giorni?</p>
<p>Logicamente il film rimane un film e la realtà è un po' diversa e nel mio caso, mentre condivido al 100% l'analisi della nostra società, non condivido per niente la via di uscita proposta dalla pellicola ovvero la violenza e la lotta. Personalmente preferisco il "non acquisto", la "decrescita felice", il commercio equo e solidale e altre soluzioni meno spettacolari e allo stesso tempo incisive.  D'altra parte un film e un romanzo sono un'opera d'arte e di fantasia e devono perciò anche essere spettacolari e avvincenti e in questo senso la scelta della violenza individuale come risposta alla violenza del sistema capitalistico-industriale serve al film ed è perciò giustificata dalla storia.</p>
<p>Vi lascio ad alcune frasi tratte dalla pellicola che vi faranno capire il senso del film (logicamente non vi svelerò la trama).</p>
<blockquote><p>Le cose che possiedi alla fine ti possiedono.</p>
<p>Siamo consumatori. Siamo sottoprodotti di uno stile di vita che ci ossessiona. Omicidi, crimini, povertà. Queste cose non mi spaventano. Quello che mi spaventa sono le celebrità sulle riviste. La televisione con 500 canali. Il nome di un tizio sulle mie mutande. I farmaci per capelli. Il viagra. O le calorie.</p>
<p>La pubblicità ci mette nell'invidiabile posizione di desiderare auto e vestiti, ma soprattutto possiamo ammazzarci in lavori che odiamo per poterci comprare idiozie che non ci servono affatto…</p>
<p>È solo dopo aver perso tutto che siamo liberi di fare qualsiasi cosa.</p>
<p>Sa perché mettono le maschere di ossigeno sull' aereo?<br />
Per poter respirare...<br />
L' ossigeno ti fa sballare. In un' emergenza catastrofica uno fa grandi respiri di paura. A un tratto diventi euforico. Docile. Accetti il tuo destino.</p>
<p>Infilarti le penne nel culo non fa di te una gallina!</p></blockquote>
<p><em>"Quello che mi spaventa sono le celebrità sulle riviste" </em>detto da Brad Pitt è veramente esilarante!!!</p>

<p> </p>
<p>The Curious Case of Benjamin Button es la nueva película de David Fincher, director entre otras de Pecados capitales (Seven), El club de la pelea, La habitación del pánico y Zodíaco que fue la última.</p>
<p>En Estados Unidos se estrenará el 18 de Diciembre, para poder competir en las nominaciones a los Oscar, y Warner en la Argentina la tiene prevista para las primeras semanas de Enero del 2009.</p>
<p>Notable elenco Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton, Taraji P. Henson, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas, Julia Ormond</p>
<p>El guión está basado en un cuento corto de F. Scott Fitzgerald, y fue adaptado por Eric Roth, quien en su curriculum tiene a Forrest Gump, Alí, Munich, El informante, y la que pasó directo a dvd recientemente Lucky you (y que posiblemente sea su único fracaso). También está a cargo de Shantaram que se estrena en el 2009, de la hindú Mira Nair (famosa por La boda) con Johnny Depp</p>
<p><a href="http://www.proximosestrenos.com.ar/?p=458"><span style="color:#00749e;">Hugo habló hace varios meses sobre el proyecto</span></a>, y es sobre un hombre que nace a los 80 años y envejece al revés… acá ya hay un trailer que en España se estrenó junto a Indiana Jones. Esperemos pronto poder verlo con mejor calidad</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I picked up this comic book for Dan because it was published by <em><strong><a href="http://www.darkhorse.com/">Dark Horse</a></strong></em> (publisher of <em><strong><a href="http://www.darkhorse.com/profile/profile.php?sku=15-119">Hellboy</a></strong></em> and <em><strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bureau_for_Paranormal_Research_and_Defense">BPRD</a> </strong></em>to name a few<em><strong> </strong></em>). I also remembered reading a little blurb about it in <em><strong><a href="http://www.wizarduniverse.com/">Wizard </a></strong></em>a few years ago. The cover caught my eye, and it seemed amusing in a bizarre way, which is right up Dan's alley.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://images.darkhorse.com/covers/12/12597.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Did he love it? Of course he freaking did! We have a good enough relationship (what with the knowing each other for 5 years) that we can pick up a movie, book, comic, action figure, food item, CD, video game, etc - and know perfectly well how the other will enjoy it.</p>
<p>Needless to say, Dan loves <em><strong><a href="http://www.thegoon.com/">The Goon</a></strong></em>, written and drawn by <em><strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Powell_(comic_writer)">Eric Powell</a></strong></em>. Me - not so much in love. It's a bit too silly and random for me. I like meaty, contenty comics but it's not needed all the time. Comics can also be entertaining.</p>
<p>Dan digs the writing style and will laugh out loud about it. I paged through one book and chuckled a bit. What really attracts me is the Art, which is what initially captured my attention. It works well with the humor, and I love the characters. It's fairly cartoon-y, but <strong>Powell</strong> brings a nice zest to it, and I would definitely read his books if I didn't have a huge stack of other things to delve through and report about.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.fortheloveofcomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/goon_21_006.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>I've been trying like hell to get Dan to "guest star" in this blog, because his tastes differ from mine in the comic world. He tends to like what I like, but he also has his own personal favorites that I don't particularly care to read. And vice versa. Anywho - he insists he cannot write (bullshit) but I figured I could do something in his stead, and plug the book that he's reading.</p>
<p>Also worth noting - <a href="http://www.comicbookmovie.com/news/articles/4780.asp">The Goon is being made into a computer animated film.</a> Apparently the film will be directed by <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000399/">David Fincher</a>. I'm not sure how live-action directors translate to computer-animated directors...and since that really isn't my field, I won't do too much speculating in this area. I like a few of <strong>David Fincher</strong>'s movies, so he's got approval from me.</p>
<p>Which I think is a perfect medium for this comic. The humor is irreverent, random and a bit silly. It would be incredibly challenging to capture in live-action. I will for sure see this when it comes out, and not just because Dan will inevitably drag me to it.</p>
<p>I think the main element lacking for me in <strong>The Goon</strong> is a really cohesive storyline. It's basically a series of funny one-shot stories strung together (at least in the two TPBs I read). If I could see a plot forming from all of them, it would be different. I would love to see this material made into a movie, because a plot would have to be hammered out in order for the film to work on any level. I know one exists within the structure of the series, but it would be lovely to condense the weird down into a fun 90 minute chunk. <strong></strong></p>
<p>My point, I guess - is that<strong> The Goon</strong> entertains, but never quite enlightens.</p>
<p>And I suppose the English major in me demands structure and some mentally engaging elements in the story in order for me to keep reading through. <strong>The Goon</strong> doesn't satisfy on all those levels...but is worth checking out for a fun, zany trip into Powell's weird world.</p>
<p>Much Love, Mindy C</p>

Antonioni, Godard, Hitchcock, Lang, Bresson, e tantos outros, marcaram sua obra com criações que flertavam indireta ou explicitamente com a estrutura das intrigas policiais, sempre visando horizontes maiores de indagação e questionamento do humano. Atualmente, o nome do cineasta americano David Fincher, pode ser colocado sem hesitação ao lado desses criadores no sentido de valer-se no gênero não apenas com ousadias que chamam atenção dentro da linguagem audiovisual, mas com uma postura de pensamento que faz desse tipo narrativo um meio para algo maior, como veremos aqui, pertencente ao nível do conhecimento.<!--more--></span></p>

Ao perceber que o conhecimento que se tinha de um objeto era insuficiente e imperfeito, atinge-se um novo saber. <em>Conhecer o erro é atingir uma nova verdade</em>. Assim, o que agora é conhecido aparece como negação do saber anterior. A verdade torna-se um processo que, sem cessar, nega a si próprio; o saber se ultrapassa constantemente. E, quando uma negação nega a si mesma, ela se torna uma nova afirmação. Todas estas afirmativas de cunho hegeliano nos conduzem ao cinema em seu gênero policial. Um filme pertencente a tal gênero tem por obrigação, apresentar-nos um personagem que, em busca de solução para algum mistério, transforma seu conhecimento a cada pista encontrada, negando sucessivamente suas suspeitas. É por este personagem que participamos na ação, ele é nossos olhos e cada surpresa sua será também nossa. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:35.45pt;line-height:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Hegel inaugura a dialética do desejo dizendo que o mundo oferece ao sujeito, apenas a possibilidade de satisfação de tal desejo, mas isso implica a anulação do próprio objeto de satisfação ao ser consumido. Para ele, o desejo é incessantemente renovado, jamais podendo ser satisfeito, é o movimento que impele no sentido da vida, <em>a consciência de si é o desejo em geral</em>. (tais considerações são retomadas de um estudo anterior que analisa, como exemplo, uma seqüência particular de <em>Vestida Para Matar (1980), Brian De Palma, </em>presente em: MENDONÇA, 2004, p.100-101)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:35.45pt;line-height:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Assumir a postura de alguém que precisa desvendar um mistério (aqui lidamos com o gênero quando voltado para o enigma) faz do detetive policial um personagem diretamente relacionado àquele que busca ‘conhecer’. O conhecimento, seja ele científico, prático ou filosófico (o mais natural é que ele transite entre os três níveis), identifica-se como o objetivo final do detetive que observa os fatos sistematicamente, assim como com o ser humano que mergulha em indagações metafísico-existenciais. A atitude cética do investigador, incapaz de aceitar a aparência da realidade gratuitamente, reflete o ponto de partida de qualquer sistema ou pensamento filosófico, baseado na dúvida e na insatisfação com a explicação dos fatos.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:35.45pt;line-height:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">O filme <em>Zodíaco</em> <em>(2007), David Fincher</em>,<em> </em>permite diversos focos de análise, aparentemente comuns e habituais a <em>trillhers </em>de mistério e filmes com os já famosos <em>serial killers</em> (filão hollywoodiano considerado como um subgênero do policial). Mas um ponto em especial pode em muito enriquecer nossas considerações sobre o gênero e a busca pelo conhecimento que temos evocado. Não cabe aqui, uma descrição pormenorizada da trama, por isso observaremos diretamente o personagem (e suas ações) que nos interessa.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:35.45pt;line-height:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Robert Graysmith, o cartunista interpretado por Jake Gyllenhaal, é o indivíduo do filme que acompanha, distanciadamente, todo o processo de investigação a respeito do assassino que se auto-nomina ‘Zodíaco’. Inicia por decisão própria e particular uma investigação paralela, tentando decifrar os códigos que o criminoso envia e juntar as peças do quebra-cabeças que ele vai deixando para todos se confundirem. Muitos anos se passam no desenrolar do caso e ninguém consegue desvendá-lo. Tanto a polícia como a imprensa (representadas por dois personagens importantes na narrativa) ganham grande espaço nas primeiras partes do filme, e aos poucos, desistem ou diminuem no interesse pela solução dos crimes, já que todos os indícios não levam a conclusão alguma. Mas esse esmorecimento não é compartilhado por Robert. É justamente quando não temos mais esperança de solução pelos personagens até então principais (policial e jornalista), que Robert entra em cena roubando a atenção e reacendendo a curiosidade pelo desfecho. Aliás, nosso interesse por Robert não parece arbitrário; é fato que este é o personagem que abre o filme após a apresentação do primeiro crime, portanto, não é inválida a compreensão de que nele reside uma importância de destaque, não como apenas uma das bases do tripé central (policial – jornalista – curioso), mas como um elemento revelador da razão de ser dessa obra.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:35.45pt;line-height:normal;text-align:justify;margin:12pt 0 6pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:35.45pt;line-height:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Enfim, o que nos interessa no personagem em questão é justamente esse desejo por uma solução inesperado e constrangedor que o possui. E talvez nenhuma outra palavra descreva melhor o que acontece com Robert no terço final do filme do que esta: ‘possessão’. É verdade que em boa parte da projeção Robert marca presença como um despretensioso alguém que se interessa pelo caso; ele está sempre lá, vendo tudo, juntando as partes, colhendo as informações, mas nada o insere objetivamente no desenvolver da intriga. Tal distância permite-nos de imediato, uma identificação do personagem com o elemento espectatorial da arte, pois assim como Robert, o que fazemos durante todo o filme é recolher as informações relevantes e tentar desvendar o mistério. Mas chegar a essa conclusão não exige grandes esforços. O que talvez venha desafiar nossa análise a um grau mais complexo não é o relacionar do personagem com o público, mas a autonomia que eles têm entre si como um elemento gerador de completude e mesmo dependência. Vamos aos poucos.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:35.45pt;line-height:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Como vimos, Robert é um personagem que ganha espaço na narrativa quando já não acreditamos mais numa resposta, quando nos convencemos que a atitude de desistência da polícia e da imprensa é a única atitude a tomar. Assim, é ele quem vai nos impulsionar a uma nova expectativa, agindo de maneira tão obsessiva (possuída) que resistimos a acreditar em sua fé. Tal determinação, todos os atos obstinados que ele toma, aos poucos nos reanima, ou seja, é essa força de vontade <span style="text-decoration:underline;">particular a ele</span> que <span style="text-decoration:underline;">agirá em nós</span> conduzindo-nos a uma diferente postura em relação ao filme e sua conclusão. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:35.45pt;line-height:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Por outro lado, o que temos de particularmente nosso e não compartilhamos com ele a rigor, é a possibilidade de ter presenciado concretamente, decisivos momentos da investigação que se passaram com os outros dois envolvidos, sem a presença de Robert. Bom exemplo é o momento em que vemos pela primeira vez o suspeito Arthur Leigh Allen, aquele que ao final, será identificado como o provável ‘Zodíaco’. Na cena, a disposição das imagens nos permite atribuir quase sem margem de dúvida, a autoria dos crimes àquele personagem. Tal certeza é colocada à prova pela falta de evidências, mas não nos convence como inválida pela forte carga dramática que possui. Segundo o cineasta e professor Eduardo WANNMACHER (2007, p.35), numa análise a respeito de <em>Zodíaco</em>, “esse é um dos pontos-chave do filme: a sobreposição de informações, pistas e pessoas envolvidas na trajetória dos assassinatos cria a necessidade de uma visão macro de todo o processo. Ninguém desenvolve tal habilidade tanto quanto o espectador(...)”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:35.45pt;line-height:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Robert não conhecia Arthur quando iniciou sua obsessiva investigação final. Nada lhe indicava, além de suas convicções, que estava no caminho certo. Mas a nossa ‘quase certeza’ age como a incentivá-lo, concordando com a necessidade que ele sente por saber/conhecer o culpado. É muito curioso acompanhar a trajetória de Robert e perceber que a descoberta do criminoso (verdade final) o movimenta e impele a viver, como uma necessidade soberana, que conduz o personagem além de sua própria vontade. Pois o que é próprio em si transforma-se à medida que vislumbra a possibilidade do novo conhecimento.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:35.45pt;line-height:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Wannmacher também aponta que Robert, por permanecer mais no jogo (busca pela verdade), vive mais. Percorremos 14 anos da vida de Robert no filme, até sua última cena. Ele está com a mesma roupa, o mesmo cabelo e o mesmo rosto. “Temos a impressão de que o personagem não envelhece” (p.36). Assim, concluímos que essa necessidade pelo conhecimento é o que permite a Robert uma evidente superioridade ante os demais personagens. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:35.45pt;line-height:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0 0 6pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Tal ‘corrida ontológica’, revela com precisão as possibilidades metafísicas do gênero policial. Os pensamentos de Hegel sobre a dialética do desejo esclarecem, como vimos, essa necessidade incessantemente renovada, jamais satisfeita, identificada na desesperada busca de Robert, personagem constituído como um protótipo dos detetives policiais que precisam ver para crer (o caro Watson de Sherlock Holmes, celebrado justamente pelo cinema). Personagem que, assim como o espectador, precisa da visão das coisas para conhecer, e que intui naturalmente a realidade das imagens como algo concreto e presente num devir que lhe espera.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;text-align:justify;margin:12pt 0 6pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">__________</span></p>

Eu preciso ir lá, preciso olhar nos olhos dele e preciso saber que é ele.” Ao final do filme, ele chega ao suspeito Arthur. Encara-o e sai. Essa troca de olhares parece concluir seu desejo, ou ao menos, servir para encerrar o filme com um elemento satisfatório. Porém, em nós a certeza não se estabelece. O desejo não é satisfeito. O resultado final nos inquieta a perceber que realmente o conhecimento pleno da verdade (já em si algo apenas possível) não existe como um fim. Deixa-nos o doce sabor de que essa metafísica encontra nas imagens dispostas (na arte cinematográfica) um veículo de valor para questionar a existência das coisas, do homem, da vida.</span></p>

<p>CAPTION:  <em>Ghengis Khan is all up in this yurt.</em></p>
<p>So last week I saw that flick <em>Mongol</em>, you know, the new epic about Ghengis Khan made by a Russian director (Sergei Bodrov), starring a Japanese dude (Tadonubo Asano), nominated for an Oscar, and inexplicably released stateside in the middle of the summer movie season.  It was a pretty good movie that held my interest for two hours by exposing me to a culture I know little about and featuring a well played out historical epic story arc complete with requisite kick-ass battle scenes.  Sitting there getting frosty in the air-conditioned theater while the heat and humidity raged outside, I couldn't help thinking this was a movie better suited for the prestigious autumnal season.  With the most gluttonous of film seasons in full swing (is <em>The Dark Knight</em> out yet?), I decided to take a look ahead at my favorite season in film and weather. </p>
<p>Here I present my list of most anticipated movies for Fall 2008:</p>
<p>___________________________________________________________________</p>
<p><a class="image" title="Miracle at st anna.jpg" href="http://davethenovelist.wordpress.com/wiki/Image:Miracle_at_st_anna.jpg"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/24/Miracle_at_st_anna.jpg/200px-Miracle_at_st_anna.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="200" height="297" /></a></p>
<p>1.  <em>The Miracle at St. Anna  </em>(scheduled release date:  9/26)</p>
<p>The Director:  Spike Lee</p>
<p>The Stars:  Derek Luke, John Leguizamo, James Gandolfini, Joseph Gordon Levitt, some cute Italian kid, Alexandra Maria Lara, and a boatload of other people and familiar faces</p>
<p>The Scoop:  Okay, so I will admit it right here, right now.  I love Spike Lee.  I even liked <em>She Hate Me</em>.  He's a cunning provocateur who's had numerous peaks and valleys in his career but just won't stop no matter what and always seems to get his name in the papers--witness Clint Eastwood telling him recently to "shut his face".  Spike is coming off the most commercially successful film of his long career with <em>Inside Man</em>.  With this adaptation of the novel by James McBride about a group of African-American soldiers trapped in Tuscany during WWII, he's giving us his first epic since <em>Malcom X</em>.    The trailer for this film is a smashing success that manages to sell the film as both a murder mystery and a searing <em>Saving Private Ryan</em> style WWII drama.  This latest Spike Lee Joint has so many great things going for it:  an auteur on the precipice of a personal artistic and commercial Renaissance (much like the one Scorsese recently went through with <em>The Aviator</em> and <em>The Departed</em>); a great storyline that has the potential to provoke discussions of history, race, religion and politics in a historic Presidential election year; and a multi-ethnic cast that includes a cute Italian kid, and as a special bonus for me, the devastatingly seductive Alexandra Maria Lara, whose beauty alone made Francis Ford Coppola's recent debacle <em>Youth Without Youth</em> worth watching.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.listal.com/image/150852/180full-alexandra-maria-lara.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Watch the trailer:  <a href="http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi3941007641/">http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi3941007641/</a></p>
<p>Official Site:  <a href="http://www.miraclemovie.com">http://www.miraclemovie.com</a></p>
<p>________________________________________________________________</p>
<p>2.  <em>The Curious Case of Benjamin Button</em>  (scheduled release date:  12/19)</p>
<p>The Director:  David Fincher</p>
<p>The Stars:  Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton, Julia Ormond</p>
<p>The Scoop:  This is the fantastic case of a gimmick film (it tells the not so simple story of a man who ages backwards, folks) with a literary pedigree (adapted from a story by F. Scott Fitzgerald).  I first saw the trailer for this in front of the latest <em>Indiana Jones</em> flick, and the packed house was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.  Its epic scope appears to be a complete departure for director Fincher, and its unique story and images sweep over you in the masterfully crafted trailer-much kudos thus far to the marketing team.  This film has the potential to be monumentally huge or just another curiosity grabbing for Oscar gold at Christmastime.  Will Fincher (robbed of an Oscar nod for <em>Zodiac</em> last year) and uber-star Pitt (robbed last year for <em>The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford</em>) finally get their due?</p>

<p>3.  <em>Australia</em>  (scheduled release date:  11/14)</p>
<p>The Director:  Baz Luhrmann</p>
<p>The Stars:  Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, Australia!</p>
<p>The Scoop:  Baz the Spazz changes gears completely with this big historical epic depicting heroism and romance against the backdrop of a Japanese attack on Australia during WWII.  The trailer sells the imagery and scope of the film very well, making it look <em>Gone with the Wind</em> <em>Down Under</em>, though the frame story of Kidman telling a fairy tale to the Aborigine girl seems a bit strained (and remarkably similar to Tarsem's <em>The Fall</em>.)  Luhrmann appears to have abandoned his hyper kinetic style for the dreadful sumptuousness that always seems to sell tickets during the big holidays at the end of the year.  Kidman and Jackman certainly look the parts, and lord knows they could both use a big hit.   Will critics be eager to embrace the new Luhrmann after a seven year hiatus?  More than any other film, I think critics have the chance to make or break this one.</p>

<p>4.  <em>The Soloist</em>  (scheduled release date:  11/21)</p>
<p>The Director:  Joe Wright</p>
<p>The Stars:  Robert Downey Jr., Catherine Keener, Jamie Foxx</p>
<p>The Scoop:  Brit Joe Wright atones for his period pieces by making this American set musical biopic.  Downey Jr. is back on the A-list, the director is taking on a genre held in high favor in recent years, and playing a schizophrenic musical genius seems right up Foxx's alley.  There are no trailers or official sites yet, but I can't wait to see what kind of tracking long shots Wright cooks up for this one--I'm picturing a shot the begins with an overhead dolly and travels down and through the crowd and orchestra at a grand concert hall.</p>
<p>________________________________________________________________</p>
<p>5.  <em>Revolutionary Road</em>  (scheduled release date:  12/26)</p>
<p>The Director:  Sam Mendes</p>
<p>The Stars:  Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet</p>
<p>The Scoop:  I have to admit, the plot of this one (from a novel by Richard Yates) sounds like a snore-fest:  a young couple in 1950's Connecticut deal with problems and such.  However, Mendes has yet to make a bad film, suburban dystopia is his bread and butter (<em>American Beauty</em>, anyone?), and the reunion of <em>Titanic</em> stars Leo and Kate in a Christmastime release give this film some palpable buzz.  No trailers or official site have appeared yet. </p>
<p>______________________________________________________________________</p>
<p>Other Films of Interest:</p>
<p><em>Changeling</em>:  10/31.  The latest from Clint Eastwood has some mixed buzz coming from its Cannes' premier.  This 1920's set psychological thriller about a mother who begins to doubt the identity of her young son who has been returned to her after going missing will have a hard line to tow while it tries to convince people it's not a remake of a horror film with the same name and is instead a prestigious Oscar bid for its uber-star Angelina Jolie.</p>
<p><em>Defiance</em>:  12/2.  Yet another WWII epic, this one is based on a true story and staring Daniel Craig.  Directed by Edward Zwick, the film of course reeks of quality, and the trailer has been getting some good buzz (at least amongst my friends and family), but it looks nobly cliched to me.  If that new Spike Lee Joint strikes a cord, this runs the risk of being overshadowed as the later release.</p>
<p>Watch the trailer for <em>Defiance</em>:  <a href="http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi2008154393/">http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi2008154393/</a></p>
<p>Oh, yeah, there's also a new James Bond flick (Craig again) idiotically entitled <em>Quantum of Solace</em> (11/7), and a wacky crime caper from Oscar darlings the Coen Brothers zanily called <em>Burn After Reading</em> (9/12) and staring, you guessed it, Brad Pitt.</p>

<description><![CDATA[This film is about time. Specifically, what if time went backwards, or rather, what if one person go]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://filtnib.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/benjamin-button-brad-pitt-vespa.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-244 alignleft" style="margin:10px;" src="http://filtnib.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/benjamin-button-brad-pitt-vespa.jpg?w=198" alt="" width="162" height="247" /></a>This film is about time. Specifically, what if time went backwards, or rather, <strong>what if one person got continuously younger</strong> while the rest of the world aged?</p>
<p>One of the first things I learnt working in the  film industry was that it takes a long, long time to make a movie, a fact entirely borne out by <em>The Curious Case of Benjamin Button</em>, which has been in the works since <strong>1994.</strong></p>
<p>Since I was thirteen years old.</p>
<p>Since then I have done my GCSE's, learnt to drive, taken A-levels, perfected the art of blow-drying my hair, completed a three year degree, a post-grad diploma and ended a war of attrition between myself and arachnids (ok I'm still working on that last one).</p>
<p>Meanwhile <em>Benjamin Button</em> - adapted loosely from a <a title="read it here" href="http://xroads.virginia.edu/~HYPER/Fitzgerald/jazz/benjamin/benjamin1.htm" target="_blank">short story  by F. Scott Fitzgerald</a> - has been washed and spun and wrung to an inch of its life by the ponderous Hollywood machine.</p>
<p><a href="http://filtnib.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/321035703_6c96f2aae5_b.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-239 alignright" style="margin:10px;" src="http://filtnib.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/321035703_6c96f2aae5_b.jpg?w=300" alt="Filming Benjamin Button in Jackson Square, courtesy Mike McAllister " width="179" height="134" /></a>Numerous writers have had a shot at the script, including <strong>Charlie Kaufman</strong> (<em>Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind</em>), <strong>Jim Taylor</strong> (<em>Sideways</em> and <em>About Schmidt</em>) and finally <strong>Eric Roth</strong> (<em>Ali, Munich, The Good Shepherd</em>).</p>
<p><strong> Directors Spike Jonze</strong> and <strong>Gary Ross</strong> were attached at different times, but the job finally went to <strong>David Fincher</strong>, whose CV - including <em>Fight Club, Se7en</em> and <em>The Game</em> - guaranteed a safe pair of hands for a tricksy narrative.</p>
<p>Fincher will have had his work lightened by a stellar cast - <strong>Brad Pitt</strong> as Button<strong>, Cate Blanchett </strong>as the woman Button loves<strong>, </strong>plus<strong> Tilda Swinton</strong> and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000566/" target="_blank">our Julia</a> in supporting roles - but on the other hand he'll have been burdened with hours of make-up work and visual effects to depict an unprecedented cinematic transformation: "I was born under unusual circumstances," confides our narrator, "while everyone else was ageing, I was getting younger - all alone."</p>
<p>Thus Pitt goes from elderly man-baby (?! yep), to a Robert Redfordian wrinkly 55-year-old, to a young dad (cradling real-life daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt), to a teenager, to a baby proper.</p>
<p>The narrative incorporates a kind of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_realism" target="_blank">magic realism</a> that may test the patience of mainstream audiences, but with the right touch, I'm hoping it could prove transcendent.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Prosseguindo com a nossa série de tops sobre as décadas cinematográficas, aqui estão as listas para os anos 90 (lembrando que o primeiro top colocado nos comentários ganhará espaço de luxo em nosso post).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Top! do Leitor:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Caio Lucas</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.secretsydney.com.au/userimages/user1001_1151388668.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">01. Thelma &#38; Louise (Ridley Scott, 1991)<br />
02. Os Bons Companheiros (Martin Scorsese, 1990)<br />
03. Se7en – Os Sete Crimes Capitais (David Fincher, 1995)<br />
04. Cães de Aluguel (Quentin Tarantino, 1992)<br />
05. Dança com Lobos (Kevin Costner, 1990)<br />
06. Clube da Luta (David Fincher, 1999)<br />
07. Boogie Nights (P.T. Anderson, 1997)<br />
08. Pulp Fiction - Tempo de Violência (Quentin Tarantino, 1994)<br />
09. Forrest Gump – O Contador de Histórias (Robert Zemeckis, 1994)<br />
10. O Grande Lebowski (Irmãos Coen, 1998)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Tops! da Equipe: </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Marcelo Dillenburg</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Confesso que tenho um problema com o top da década de 1990. Até hoje não consegui estipular uma preferência clara, e por isso minha lista muda direto, e até um tanto radicalmente. O que eu sei é que amo O Rei Leão, o Fincher chutou traseiros e o Miyazaki fez sua obra-prima (sim, acho Mononoke melhor que Chihiro). Ah, sim, e Los Angeles - Cidade Proibida eu considero bastante subestimado, deveria figurar sempre em listas de melhores.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://anaksunamoon.blogs.sapo.pt/arquivo/Walt%20Disney%20-%20Lion%20King%20family%20dim.jpg" alt="" width="377" height="233" /><br />
01. O Rei Leão (Roger Allers &#38; Rob Minkoff, 1994)<br />
02. Seven – Os Sete Crimes Capitais (David Fincher, 1995)<br />
03. A Princesa Mononoke (Hayao Miyazaki, 1997)<br />
04. Los Angeles – Cidade Proibida (Curtis Hanson, 1997)<br />
05. Além da Linha Vermelha (Terrence Malick, 1999)<br />
06. O Profissional (Luc Besson, 1994)<br />
07. Matrix (Wachowskis, 1999)<br />
08. Pulp Fiction - Tempo de Violência (Quentin Tarantino, 1994)<br />
09. O Silêncio dos Inocentes (Jonathan Demme, 1991)<br />
10. Forrest Gump – O Contador de Histórias (Robert Zemeckis, 1994)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Daniel Dalpizzolo</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Desculpem-me pela enxurrada de Ferraras, mas não tenho muita escolha, simplesmente minha obsessão faz com que qualquer coisa filmada por ele esteja de cara um passo à frente das outras. No mais, só obras-primas. O De Palma mais humano, o Cronenberg mais insano, Kubrick no seu melhor momento desde Dr. Fantástico, Scorsese e sua aula de cinematografia, o mais inventivo e genial filme dos Coen, Solondz e um dos grandes sarcasmos já filmados e, pra completar, o blockbuster mais vulgar, perverso e divertido do cinema americano. Década fantástica.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-341 aligncenter" src="http://multiplot.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/asia.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="364" height="200" /><br />
01. New Rose Hotel (Abel Ferrara, 1998)<br />
02. The Blackout (Abel Ferrara, 1997)<br />
03. Crash (David Cronenberg, 1995)<br />
04. O Pagamento Final (Brian De Palma, 1993)<br />
05. O Rei de Nova York (Abel Ferrara, 1990)<br />
06. De Olhos Bem Fechados (Stanley Kubrick, 1999)<br />
07. Os Bons Companheiros (Martin Scorsese, 1990)<br />
08. Barton Fink (Joel &#38; Ethan Coen, 1991)<br />
09. Felicidade (Todd Solondz, 1998)<br />
10. O Vingador do Futuro (Paul Verhoeven, 1990)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Adney Silva</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Foi no final dessa década que o meu interesse por cinema despertou, graças (curiosamente) a um filme que nem está na lista. Isso mostra o quanto essa década foi boa. Especialmente quando citamos o ano de 1999, que têm três representantes nesse top. Destaque para - esse sim - o blockbuster mais sarcástico, perverso e diveritdo existente, obra do genial Paul Verhoeven.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://blogs.amctv.com/scifi-scanner/starship_troopers_large_05.jpg" alt="" width="379" height="252" /></p>
<p>01. Tropas Estelares (Paul Verhoeven, 1997)<br />
02. De Olhos Bem Fechados (Stanley Kubrick, 1999)<br />
03. Pulp Fiction (Quentin Tarantino, 1994)<br />
04. Cidade das Sombras (Alex Proyas, 1998)<br />
05. Além da Linha Vermelha (Terence Mallick, 1998)<br />
06. Barton Fink (John &#38; Ethan Coen, 1991)<br />
07. O Rei Leão (Roger Allers e Rob Minkoff, 1994)<br />
08. Magnólia (Paul Thomas Anderson, 1999)<br />
09. eXistenZ (David Cronenberg, 1999)<br />
10. True Lies (James Cameron, 1994)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Amílcar Figueiredo </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A Década de 90 foi tão rica, cinematograficamente falando, que filmes excepcionais só puderam receber menções honrosas: Garotos de Programa (Gus Van Sant), Dead Man (Jim Jarmusch), Central do Brasil (Walter Salles), Vestígios do Dia (James Ivory) e A Estrada Perdida (David Lynch). Mais grave ainda, a lista abaixo poderia ter sua ordem facilmente modificada, com exceção do primeiro: Altman na cabeça.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img5.allocine.fr/acmedia/rsz/434/x/x/x/medias/nmedia/18/36/03/53/18814637.jpg" alt="" width="396" height="258" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">01. Short Cuts - Cenas da Vida (Robert Altman, 1993)<br />
02. Contos das Quatro Estações (Eric Rohmer, 1990, 1992, 1996, 1998)<br />
03. A Salvo (Todd Haynes, 1995)<br />
04. Além da Linha Vermelha (Terrence Malick, 1998)<br />
05. Segredos e Mentiras (Mike Leigh, 1996)<br />
06. Bom Trabalho (Claire Denis, 1999)<br />
07. Fim de Caso (Neil Jordan, 1999)<br />
08. A Fraternidade é Vermelha (Krzysztof Kieslowski, 1994)<br />
09. Tudo Sobre Minha Mãe (Pedro Almodóvar, 1999)<br />
10. Underground - Mentiras de Guerra (Emir Kusturica, 1995)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Cassius Abreu</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Confesso que não sou tão entusiasta e longe de ser grande conhecedor dos filmes da década como vários outros participantes daqui, mesmo sabendo que nela estão meu filme favorito; as obras-primas verdadeiras do Tarantino, do Shy, do Spielberg e da Coppola; os momentos que me fizeram adorar Kieslowski e Altman e o estopim da retomada da minha boa vontade para com o cinema nacional (em noções históricas mesmo). É, pensando bem, a década é genial, talvez até superior que a vigente, e o meu pensamento inicial estava errado.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.imagesdisney.com/images/coloring-pictures-lion-king-g.jpg" alt="" width="417" height="244" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">01. O Rei Leão (Roger Allers &#38; Rob Minkoff, 1994)<br />
02. Cães de Aluguel (Quentin Tarantino, 1992)<br />
03. Short Cuts - Cenas da Vida (Robert Altman, 1993)<br />
04. O Sexto Sentido (M. Night Shyamalan, 1999)<br />
05. As Virgens Suicidas (Sofia Coppola, 1999)<br />
06. A Trilogia das Cores (Krzysztof Kieslowski, 1993 a 1994)<br />
07. O Jogador (Robert Altman, 1992)<br />
08. Central do Brasil (Walter Salles, 1998)<br />
09. Além da Linha Vermelha (Terrence Malick, 1999)<br />
10. A Lista de Schindler (Steven Spielberg, 1993)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Jailton Rocha</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">90's: o surgimento de Fincher, Tarantino, e outros; a volta de James Bond (depois de um hiato de 6 anos); Tim Burton nos presentando com uma obra que é ao mesmo tempo violenta e poética; Spielberg e Cameron dando início aos CGI; e muitas coisas mais marcaram essa década.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img5.allocine.fr/acmedia/medias/nmedia/18/35/91/33/18777935.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="266" /></p>
<p>01. Se7en – Os Sete Crimes Capitais (David Fincher, 1995)<br />
02. Pulp Fiction - Tempo de Violência (Quentin Tarantino, 1994)<br />
03. O Talentoso Ripley (Anthony Minghella, 1999)<br />
04. Vamos Nessa (Doug Liman , 1999)<br />
05. 007 Contra Goldeneye (Martin Campbell, 1995)<br />
06. A Lenda do Cavaleiro Sem Cabeça (Tim Burton, 1999)<br />
07. Jurassic Park (Steven Spielberg, 1992)<br />
08. O Exterminador do Futuro 2 - o Julgamento Final (James Cameron, 1991)<br />
09. O Rei Leão (Roger Allers e Rob Minkoff, 1994)<br />
10. Dança com Lobos (Kevin Costner, 1990)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Pedro Kerr</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Pra começar com o top, aquela conversa de quase sempre: são os melhores filmes de todos os tempos (da década de 90) da última semana. E bom, isso até explica muita coisa, além de muita coisa boa ter ficado de fora (e sem menção honrosa, sem massagem, desse jeito só piora). E bom, resolver um pouco desse drama em escolher um ou outro já mostra que essa é uma das décadas que me gustas mucho (provavelmente todas as outras também, hehe).</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img5.allocine.fr/acmedia/medias/nmedia/18/36/03/48/18447178.jpg" alt="" width="391" height="260" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">01. Barton Fink (Irmãos Coen, 1991)<br />
02. Pulp Fiction (Quentin Tarantino, 1994)<br />
03. Os Bons Companheiros (Martin Scorsese, 1990)<br />
04. O Grande Lebowski (Irmãos Coen, 1998)<br />
05. Jovens, Loucos e Rebeldes (Richard Linklater, 1993)<br />
06. Violência Gratuita (Michael Haneke, 1997)<br />
07. O Pagamento Final (Brian De Palma, 1993)<br />
08. Instinto Selvagem (Paul Verhoeven, 1992)<br />
09. Mistérios e Paixões (David Cronenberg, 1991)<br />
10. Clube da Luta (David Fincher, 1999)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Thiago Macêdo Correia</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">E sou eu mais um a citar a riqueza cinematográfica da década de 90, com grandes produções de gênios como Robert Altman e Stanley Kubrick (os primeiros lugares), novos mestres como os irmãos Coen (com dois filmes na lista, ainda que merecendo figurar mais vezes), passando por Woody Allen revisitando Bergman, Clint Eastwood louvando o amor, Kieslowski reverenciando a pulsação da música, Solondz mostrando que o mundo é um lugar muito pior que se imagina, e Wong Kar-Wai explodindo em desejo. Ainda que De Palma, Scorsese e Almodóvar fiquem como menções honrosas, é justo que um pequena obra-prima como o devastador estudo humano de Atom Egoyan esteja entre os citados, pois faz jus à grandiosidade do cinema narrativo, com utilização da montagem não-linear de modo extraordinário (alô, Iñarritu!).</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://multiplot.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/172214__short_cuts_l11.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-346 aligncenter" src="http://multiplot.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/172214__short_cuts_l11.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="330" height="247" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">01. Short Cuts (Robert Altman, 1993)<br />
02. De Olhos Bem Fechados (Stanley Kubrick, 1999)<br />
03. Fargo (Joel Coen &#38; Ethan Coen, 1996)<br />
04. Felizes Juntos (Wong Kar-Wai, 1997)<br />
05. A Liberdade é Azul (Krzysztof Kieslowski, 1993)<br />
06. Barton Fink (Joel Coen &#38; Ethan Coen, 1991)<br />
07. Felicidade (Todd Solondz, 1998)<br />
08. As Pontes de Madison (Clint Eastwood, 1995)<br />
09. Desconstruindo Harry (Woody Allen, 1997)<br />
10. O Doce Amanhã (Atom Egoyan, 1997)</p>

<p>We <strong>love</strong> movies. The dark theater (minus the jackass texting 3 rows in front of you).  The box of Milk Duds.  The drink that's way too big, but you're going to finish the damn thing anyways, because you paid $5.00 for it.  The previews... ahh, the previews.  Allowing yourself to leave the world behind and be swept away for 2 hours by the vision of a truly great filmmaker.  Trying to figure out the ending long before you should even be worried about that.  Analyzing the plots and subplots.  Reaching sometimes further than we should to try to find the applicability to our own lives.</p>
<p>For us, film is truly one of the greatest art forms.  As you should all know by now, art is kind of a big deal to us. And, there's nothing better than the first time you see a great film, except for maybe the second or third time. Losing yourself in the art of film is an experience like none other.  These experiences often leave such an impression that we're left remembering the exact days or specific events that are connected to the watching of them.  Kyle first saw the movie Fight Club on 7/25/99.  He remembers clearly the ecstasy he met as the last scene unfolded, and the musical genius of the Pixies merged with the cinematic genius of David Fincher.  Ben can relive the fear he felt the night he saw The Exorcist.  The darkness of the night.  The pouring Texas rain.  How not 10 minutes after the film ended, the power was cut in his apartment, and he was left to sit on the floor in the dark for the next 3 hours.  It was one of the only times in his life where he genuinely felt the effects of a scary movie.  Of course, the thunderstorm and the lack of electricity helped out quite a bit.</p>
<p>Have we made our point?  We really love movies.</p>
<p>As fantastic and wonderful as these great movies, nay films, can be, there is a darker side.  As it says in the Bible (or maybe it's Star Wars), you can't have good without evil.  You can't have light without darkness.  You can't have great without terrible.  We desperately wish this wasn't the case with cinema.</p>
<p>Bad movies are ruining America.  They're lowering people's expectations, tastes and IQ's.  They're bastardizing a wonderful art form.  They're making us question the future of the human race.  (Yes, we know we can be a little dramatic, but we wait until we're tired and angry to write these posts.  Somehow, it just feels right.)</p>
<p>And now, for your enjoyment, awareness, and education we'll list our most hated movies.  We'll tell you why we hate them.  We might even spoil the endings so that you're not even tempted to see them.  Just don't ask us to tell you which one is worse than the others.  They all suck.</p>
<h3>Ben's Most Hated Movies:</h3>
<h3><strong>Titanic</strong></h3>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="float:left;" src="http://www.biggest-selling-movies.com/images/titanic.jpg" alt="" width="192" height="280" />At one point the highest grossing movie ever.  Is it still?  Don't know.  Don't care. All I know is that whenever I would hear that ungodly Celine Dion song I wanted to down a bottle of cyanide.  This, to my recollection, was the first moment in my life that I refused to take part in something that the main-stream was thoroughly enjoying.  I refused to go see the film.  I'm sorry to say now that I eventually caved and ended up watching the movie on a date.  Stupid girls.  I've always regretted it.  How much I would enjoy being able to say today that "I've never seen Titanic."  I won't make that mistake again. (See <a href="http://vinyldraft.wordpress.com/2008/04/23/why-i-will-never-read-harry-potter-or-twilight/">Harry Potter</a>)  Titanic = bad dialogue, pointless nudity, some of the worst one-liners of our generation (you're not the effing king of the world), Leonardo DiCaprio's worst acting gig ever (and yet, the one that catapulted him to a certain level of super stardom), a great example of a film that's only "great" because enough money was thrown at it, and ammunition for all guys, everywhere, against women... She let go!</p>
<p>Not to mention... you did know, going into this movie, that everyone was going to die, right?  It's the freaking Titanic.</p>
<h3>Cross Dressing Comedies<br />
Big Momma's House (1&#38;2), Nutty Professor (1&#38;2), White Chicks, The Hot Chick, Mrs. Doubtfire, Norbit, Madea's Family Reunion</h3>
<p><img class="alignright" style="float:right;" src="http://www.worstpreviews.com/images/posters/norbit/norbit1_large.gif" alt="" width="202" height="301" />Have I forgotten any?  I'm sure I have.  It's pretty satisfying to be able to kill 9 horrible movies with one stone, though.  Since when did a man in a dress become instant comedy?  The worst of it, in my eyes, is the volume of black comedians subjected to these rolls.  If I were Al Sharpton, I would spend a little less time worrying about the "racism" of people like Don Imus and a little more time worrying about the degradation that occurs in the black community when thousands of people gather around a screen and laugh at black men in dresses.</p>
<p>I don't even know where to start here.  Isn't it universally accepted that this is the bottom of the barrel?  These aren't movies.  They certainly aren't comedy.  These are bad Laffy Taffy jokes, at best.    Putting on a dress, and frequently a fat suit, doesn't equal funny.  Funny equals funny.  Can you have comedy with cross dressing?  Sure.  There are truly comedic moments in the history of film and television that involve cross dressing - namely, Monty Python and Arrested Development.  But these moments are funny because of the great writing, great acting, great comedy, not because some dude is wearing a dress.   Putting a guy in a dress, filming him, and then expecting laughter is not only insulting to my intelligence, it's ruining America.</p>
<p>And, if you're laughing at them, then so are you.</p>
<h3>"Scary" Movies<br />
Blair Witch Project, The Ring 2, The Grudge (1&#38;2), Boogeyman, Dark Water, Saw 1-25, Hostel, Captivity, and on and on and on...</h3>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="float:left;" src="http://friendsofdoom.com/gz/img/post/movies/2007-09-04-SawIV-Trap.lrg.jpg" alt="" width="203" height="302" />I do kind of feel like I'm cheating by including two genres on my list, but it is <strong>really </strong>hard to narrow this down.  You'll also notice that I didn't include the first Ring.  That's because I actually enjoyed that one.  But, then again, that was before the cinematic saturation of young Asian girl "horror".</p>
<p>To be fair, the Saw franchise could probably carry this thing alone, but the tragedy is how eager we are to shell out our money to sit through these so called "scary movies".  I think The Grudge is literally the same 10 minute scene shot at different angles and replayed 10 times. I can remember sitting in the theater during Blair Witch... laughing.  It really was an amusing film to me.  Some would probably credit it with opening new doors for film makers, or something idiotic like that, but the only thing that I give this movie credit for was conning millions of dollars out of our pockets.  I do believe the first Saw had some of the worst acting I've ever seen in my life delivered by none other than the Dread Pirate Roberts (Cary Elwes) "You BASTARD!"  Again... quite laughable. Captivity was actually nominated for 3 <a href="http://www.razzies.com">Razzies</a>: Worst Actress, Worst Director, and Worst Excuse for a Horror Movie.  It was then nominated for a Teen Choice Award for   Choice Movie Actress: Horror/Thriller.  See what these films are doing to the rising generation?</p>
<p>I see the same principle here as the comedies.  Show us something stupid, expect us to laugh.  Show us something gruesome, expect us to be scared.  No plot necessary, don't worry about good dialogue, just be sure to kill a lot of people and make it as bloody as possible.  If there's a young girl with a lot of dark hair covering her face... all the better.</p>
<h3>Kyle's Most Hated Movies:</h3>
<h3><strong>Pearl Harbor</strong></h3>
<p>I've only walked out of the theater during one movie in my entire life.  Those of you who know me know I'm not a prude, so it wasn't due to excessive violence, language, coolness, cigarette smoking, etc.  I didn't walk out because it was merely boring, as I enjoy a good nap as much as the next guy.  I walked out because this movie was so lame, so offensively sappy, so inappropriately far away from what it should have been that I just couldn't stand it any longer.  I'll give you a hint, there's an entire song in the Trey Parker/Matt Stone film Team America devoted to this movie's awfulness.</p>
<p><a href="http://vinyldraft.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/pearl-harbor-movie-poster-c10077103.jpeg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-84" src="http://vinyldraft.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/pearl-harbor-movie-poster-c10077103.jpeg?w=208" alt="" width="208" height="300" /></a>That's right, it's Pearl Harbor.  Ugh.</p>
<p>My hatred for Michael Bay began with this absolute abortion of a film.  First of all, Ben Affleck sucks.  He's not good to watch in any role, let alone a romantic hero role.  That was my first hint, before I'd even seen the movie, that it was going to be terrible.</p>
<p>Second of all, in a three-hour movie, how can only half an hour be devoted to the actual events of Pearl Harbor?  Is the story of that fateful day so boring and lame that it just begs for a drawn out, painfully dull love story?  And to make it a love triangle?  Gag me with a freaking spoon.  The real story of Pearl Harbor and its lasting impact is so interesting and powerful that it's a shame we saw so little of it.  It's as if someone wrote a terribly boring love story/period piece, and then realized that people would pay to see it if the story was set around the Japanese attack on the Oahu harbor.  The actual Pearl Harbor elements feel tacked on and superfluous, and they should be anything but.</p>
<p>Finally, I just really, really hate Ben Affleck.  I feel justified in making that my first and last argument.  He sometimes redeems himself in his buddy Kevin Smith's flicks, but he doesn't do it enough.</p>
<p>Holy crap, I really hate that movie.  To this day, I've only seen the first and last half hour bits.  That's more than enough.</p>
<h3><strong>Epic/Date/Scary/Superhero/Disaster Movie (Also, Meet the Spartans)</strong></h3>
<p><a href="http://vinyldraft.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/2562117221_7b72cfec56.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-85" src="http://vinyldraft.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/2562117221_7b72cfec56.jpg?w=212" alt="" width="204" height="289" /></a>There's nothing inherently wrong with spoof movies.  I'm a huge fan Monty Python, Mel Brooks and even David Zucker's earlier stuff.  Flicks like the Life of Brian, Young Frankenstein and Airplane! are silly, full of references and extreme performances.  But the thing is, they're also riotously funny, and they've become modern cinematic classics.</p>
<p>Today's spoof movies are a different animal altogether.  Lazy, unfunny and uninspired, this newest wave of Naked Gun-wannabes can be seen as only aiming for one goal: striving for the lowest common denominator in taste, intelligence, and unfortunately, humor.  I'm ashamed to admit that I've seen more than one of these terrible, awful films.  I've spoken with my local clergy, and I feel that I've been absolved of these sins, but the painful memory remains.</p>
<p>I don't even want to talk about these anymore.  I'll only advise you that, if you see any movie, regardless of specific title, that reminds you of one of these, run for the hills.  That is, unless it came out before 1980, of course.  (I know a previous post argued against such a mentality, but in this case, it's warranted!)</p>
<h3>RENT</h3>
<p>Here's the description I found on <a href="http://www.imdb.com" target="_blank">imdb.com</a>:<a href="http://vinyldraft.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/rent_movie.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-86" src="http://vinyldraft.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/rent_movie.jpg" alt="" width="197" height="280" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Based on Puccini's 'La Boheme', 'Rent' tells the story of one year in the life of friends living the Bohemian life in modern day East Village, New York City, 1989-1990. Among the group are our narrator, nerdy love-struck filmmaker Mark Cohen; the object of Mark's affection, his former girlfriend, Maureen Johnson; Maureen's Harvard-educated public interest lawyer and lesbian lover Joanne Jefferson; Mark's roommate, HIV-positive musician and former junkie, Roger Davis; Roger's new girlfriend, the HIV-positive drug addicted S&#38;M dancer, Mimi Marquez; their former roommate, HIV-positive computer genius Tom Collins; Collins' HIV-positive drag queen street musician/lover Angel; and Benjamin Coffin III, a former member of the group who married for money and has since become their landlord and the opposite of everything they stand for. Shows how much changes or doesn't change in the 525,600 minutes that make up a year.</p></blockquote>
<p>I don't want to talk about that movie anymore.  Couldn't hate it more.</p>
<p>And that's our (relatively) brief and very incomplete list.  We'd like to thank all the good movies out there to give us something against which to compare these terrible, terrible pieces of garbage.  We'll be back soon with yet another tirade against <em>Things That Are Ruining America</em>.</p>

Esse é um dos meus filmes prediletos, com atuações espetaculares, roteiro que de prende com excelentes efeitos e uma trilha sonora sensacional. O filme é baseado no livro homônimo de Chuck Palahbiuk, é dirigido magistralmente por David Fincher o mesmo de “Seven – Os sete pecados capitais” e “Zodíacos”. A História gira em torno de Jack, um investigador de seguros de uma montadora de automóvel e comprador compulsivo que sofre de séries crises de insônia. Desesperado com sua situação ele procura ajuda num dos grupos de ajuda para paciente de câncer nos testículos. Com clima pesado ele sente confortado e dribla o problema até a chegada de Marla. A partir daí um comerciante de sabão e uma explosão que levou a um telefonema muda a história completamente nos levando a ver a criação do Clube de Luta. Narrado brilhantemente por Jack, com situações que nos dá informações úteis do lado pobre da sociedade com sua convivência com a elite, mostrando jeitos incríveis de iludir e brincar com os poderosos das maneiras mais simples. A ampliação do clube e cenas sensacionais sempre lideradas pelo Tyler. Leva este filme ao patamar dos melhores de todos os tempos.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[Those of you unfortunate enough to catch Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull at the t]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:left;"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-137" src="http://ourenclave.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/benjamin-button-2.png" alt="Screen Capture from Official Trailer" width="283" height="120" />Those of you unfortunate enough to catch Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull at the trailer may have already caught an earlier trailer for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, but this new expanded and Hi-Definition trailer really gives you a sense of what David Fincher is trying to achieve. The film is an adaptation of the 1920s short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald and deals with a man who is born old and proceeds to live his life backwards.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Even more exciting than the concept is the director. David Fincher is probably one of the best current American directors, his work is always visually arresting and is often epoch making. As a director he’s responsible for some of the cultural touchstones of the 1990s (Seven and Fight Club both capturing the zeitgeist in their own peculiar way) and his last film (the absolutely wonderful) Zodiac showcased a director who had truly matured as a filmmaker.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><img class="size-full wp-image-138 aligncenter" src="http://ourenclave.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/benjamin-button-1.png" alt="Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett" width="462" height="226" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Shot on digital like his previous film the trailer showcases yet another sublime visual offering from Fincher. Even though the choice of music is a little rote (it’s a piece called “The Aquarium” from the musical suite Carnival of Animals if you’re interested) the scenes depicted look absolutely incredible. Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett feature heavily in the film as the eponymous Mr. Button and his love respectively and hopefully this will be the film that finally gets Pitt some recognition as a notable actor.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Despite being a massive comic book and foreign film geek, this is probably my most anticipated film of the year. It's due out on general release in December, but it should be floating around some film festivals before then.</p>

<p>Director David Fincher said "It's dark, it's romantic, and it also deals with mortality in a pretty unflattering way. Button is born in 1919 - with the film itself beginning in World War I, traveling around the world and carrying on all the way through to the year 2000."</p>
<p>hmm....oscar nominations...</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>David Fincher is back after <span style="font-style:italic;">Zodiac </span>with <span style="font-style:italic;">Curious case of Benjamin Button</span>, with Brad Pitt, a wierdly interesting movie about a man who starts ageing backwards..</p>
<p>Coen Brothers will try to tickle the funny bones with their black comedy-thriller <span style="font-style:italic;">burn after reading</span> featuring Brad Pitt, Geore Clooney and Francis Mc Dormand can it get anymore exciting?</p>
<p>Also Christopher Nolan's <span style="font-style:italic;">Batman</span>, with the ever dependable Michael cain, Christian bale and the deceased Heath Ledger, it is said that the preparation, acting, mental state of joker's role that ledger involved himself in took its toll, sadly his death, from the trailers it looks like he put his every iota of soul brains and heart into it...lets see.</p>
<p>Talking of Christopher Nolan, who made <span style="font-style:italic;">Memento </span>(our own repellent ghajini) I am reminded of a wonderful magical master piece called <span style="font-style:italic;">The Prestige</span>, If you never watched it, take my word you have to.</p>
<p>Thats all for now....wait a minute am not done yet...later next year....Di caprio, Kate winslet and Sam Mendes of <span style="font-style:italic;">American Beauty</span> team up for <span style="font-style:italic;">Revolutionary Road</span>...David Fincher will bring us <span style="font-style:italic;">Rendezvous with Rama</span> (great Arthur C clarke's sci-fi Novel) super talent Bryan Singer does a movie on one of the major, almost successful plot to kill scumbag hitler, <span style="font-style:italic;">Valkyrie </span>and then Johnny Depp's Shantaram.</p>
<p>I Love Hollywood!!</p>
<p>and now I stop.</p>
