What Fake Abortion Papers Look Like

Il Riccio, 2009, Mona Achache


"A film that leaves you love to read the book but not the desire to see the film. "
Massi So yesterday evening at the Hare told me his impressions on The hedgehog , the film that I decided to see tonight. First, I admit, not I read the book, the novel Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery , literary event of 2006 best seller, more than 50 printings and 600,000 copies sold.
But I'm curious to read it: the film is truly touching the lives of the protagonists so intricate and I liked the feeling of tenderness that I felt for them.
But first things first.
Renee (Josiane Balasko) works as a concierge and perfectly embodies the stereotype: it is fat, sloppy and surly, but the building of luxury condominiums Rue Grenelle in Paris, where he works are completely unaware that their door has a soul, cultured and refined, loves the cinema, is interested in philosophy, Japanese culture and loves the great classics of literature like Tolstoy and Kafka.
elegant building, inhabited by wealthy families, lives a girl whose history is interwoven with that of kidney, the twelve year old Paloma (The Garance Guillermic) forever with your camera in tow, Paloma filming the world surrounds, mostly the stories of adults who are around her, determined not to become like them, or like fish in a bowl, so that organizes every detail in his suicide, to be the day of his birthday. The paranoia of this girl I was deeply disquieted: it is too sensitive, too deep to bear to live in mediocrity as everyone knows.
to upset the customs of Renée and Paloma will be the arrival of a new tenant in the building: the Japanese Kakuro, a man as mysterious and fascinating.
Kakuro approaches Paloma and Renée because interested, curious about these characters so complex. Will he be able to "unlock" the concierge, get it out of his skin so rough and give it a new light. Paloma instead understand, with the help the new neighbor, a little more about life and the importance thereof.
It seems that the author of the novel was not happy about the success of the film, I read it completely!

What Happens If You Swallow Scope Mouthwash?

Avatar, 2009, James Cameron


".. The movie event of the year, ".." a film not to be missed, ".." the revolution of cinema "... These are just some of the phrases from the output of this 'masterpiece', January 15th of this new year They feel repeat on television, in newspapers and by those who have already seen.

The film is set in the not too far from us on a giant planet, Pandora, with rain forests and trees that reach 300 meters, all on the mountains that seem suspended in space, the it reminded me of a movie I saw recently Myazaki, Laputa castle in the sky and , which I highly recommend. E 'inhabited by different types of creatures, among them the people of Na'Vi evolved, three meters high and covered with a blue leather striped like tigers. The planet is rich in minerals, but what of all the RDA has taken on Pandora, a company interplanetary Earth is Unobtainium. It will be the ambition to profit from the mineral that will Selfrige Parker (a ruthless Giovanni Ribisi) to do battle Na'Vi that unfortunately the people living on the richest area Unobtainium the planet. The protagonist is Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a former marine who has become disabled will continue the project of his twin brother, a scientist from the RDA, killed. In practice, the Marine must be integrated into people Na'Vi Spread across the use of a AVATAR , a hybrid between man and Na'Vi which is controlled by the human mind through an interface. The attempt to find a diplomatic solution between the two sides fail and then the film is a succession of love, hatred, anger, pain, brotherhood, friendship, etc. .... through people like Dr. Grace Augustine (Sigurney Weaver, the Alien), Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) Na'Vi chieftain's daughter, Trudy (Michelle Rodriguez, has always been part of women's bullshit, here is the pilot of missile planes) and Colonel Quaritch Miles (Stephen Lang), who see the war the only diplomatic solution.

Apart from the duration of the film (2 hours and 40 minutes wearing the 3D glasses, which are not practical or convenient), the type of film that ranks as bombastic and noisy and not one of my favorites, the history a little saccharine, and the terrible mass demonstration to see this film, my first experience in 3D is not so bad, let's say I was sorry and that I would do it also because I was more excited to see the trailer for "Alice in Wonderland" himself in 3D, which will be released in March 2010 and look forward to.

87 Cheverolet 36' Van Honey Motorhome

Nine, 2009, Rob Marshall


Start now saying that is the worst film I've seen in recent times. I will not dwell even make the comparison with Eight and a half , Fellini's masterpiece that has inspired this musical. Maybe I would not even go see it because (Mark was right), I left already biased, but I had seen the same director Chicago and Memoirs of a Geisha, I was not mad but I had not even disgusted ... The fact is that it is just of an American: completely omits salient parts of the original, it is also true that this is not a remake, but uses a few key points of the film to make them a story interspersed with songs and dances. The cast is definitely star Daniel Day-Lewis was in the part of Mastroianni is a big fig tree and is the only exception. It 'very good, no doubt about it, but it is not even remotely comparable to the interpretation of Mastroianni. Not a bit '.
However, we are in the Cinecittà studios in 1965. Guido Contini (and not as Guido Anselmi in Eight and a half, why?) is a creative director in crisis, his producer and his staff (the producer was given to Ricky Tognazzi, in the film there are several Italian actors, Mastrandrea, Elio Germano - for the happiness of my cousin, and also Martina Stella - I say all) are working hard to do on the new film, but he has too much trouble for the head. His biggest problem is the relationship with the women in his life: his wife (Marion Cotillard, beautiful and cold but no shirts with mandarin collar - a few will understand), his mistress (Penelope Cruz in the role that was Milo's ..... ah, I suffered a lot), his muse (Kidman, the Cardinal was in the original is completely opposed to each other) and mother, who appears in the guise of a ghost of his memories (played by Loren. Please Sofia, never again. No more a thing. There were those who sneered at the cinema "Loren is made of wood!") . A disaster, but more importantly, what happened to her friend Scarlett, Jiminy Cricket and adviser to drive? I want to say that maybe in the musical is the costume designer (Judy Dench with an unlikely bangs)? And why? Shocking second point, who will look at Nine you ask, but Kate Hudson, and as stilosissima Where's My Car, What does? I remember very well if Eight and a half there had been a journalist for Vogue Who Shagged Me with the main character. Absurd! Not to mention his stacchetto, which pulls out all the possible cliches about Italians and our cinema, embarrassing. The attachment because it makes you laugh:

is not bad either Fergie of Black Eyed Peas in the role of Saraghina, very very similar.
The fact is that I threw out four euros and in the Cineplex a room was also broken heating.

Compare Symptoms Cold Sores Impetigo

Running with Scissors, 2006, Ryan Murphy


When I read that the director of this film is the originator of Nip / Tuck I could not resist. I love that show! In the absence of new episodes on my favorite plastic surgeons, I opted for a healthy vision of this film. I liked it, I loved it.
Ryan Murphy delivered the film on Augusten Burroughs's autobiographical novel of the same name. An incredible autobiography, childhood and adolescence ruthless, in the background, the America of the year 70.
Augusten's mother (Annette Bening) who probably will look like in twenty years: great, but obsessed with itself and the desire to succeed as a writer. His father (Alec Baldwin), is ruined by a Lardos. The relationship between the two is obviously not idyllic ... trying to get out of each other several times (I love this kind of fight, soon will cover War of the Roses ). Augusten is sent by his mother at the home of her psychiatrist, Dr. Finch (Brian Cox).
She is too much trouble to take care of Augusten, but the house of Dr. Finch's not really a healthy place, so to speak. I would say that this is a reality even more borderline.
The historic Bennie and the Jets Elton John accompanied his arrival in the house of a psychiatrist, a pink Victorian house full of strange things, strange, a taste-delusional kitsch carried to extremes. He knows the doctor's wife (Jill Clayburgh) clearly hallucinating, a lover of dog food and the B horror movie series, his daughter Natalie (Evan Rachel Wood that bitch, girlfriend of Marilyn Manson's new muse, and I hope that Allen-Diane Keaton not ask more than the word), who plays the strange case of the girl and easily disturbed, and another daughter, Hope (with fantastic fantastic Gwineth Paltrow Victorian skirts). Life at home is definitely Finch naive, if not shocking: the Christmas tree that lights up all year, the cat who communicates with Freud Hope, absurd objects that fill the villa as a backdrop to a family eccentric disturbed by a thousand frustrations. Augustin mainly bound with Natalie, and her contemporary moviegoer as he was. At Lina Wertmuller Film Festival, he reveals himself as gay, auks she decides to submit the adopted brother, Neil (Joseph Fiennies), which begins with the joys of sex: Augusten is left shocked, just like when she discovers that her mother is a lesbian.
In some places the plot goes a bit 'slow, compassionate, and the story is all too likely, on the edge of surreal episodes created specifically to disturb the viewer. But I'm used to the twists with Nip / Tuck, fact, the hype I expected them (and hope) in this film. I noticed other similarities with the series: first, the decision to include many songs, like the long video clips to play down the disturbing sensations that convey the characters. But even the glamorous atmosphere-coated, attention to detail improbable colors bright, contrasting with the gray lives of the characters, characterized by hysteria, psychological perversions and self-harm.

This trailer does not reflect the slightest sense of the film, cursed people the editor!


Coin With 2 Swords And Palm Tree

Frida, 2002, Julie Taymor


Whenever I go to eat at Mamacita (famous Mexican restaurant in Via Pre), I am always fascinated by the photographs of the paintings of Frida Kahlo. I had already seen this movie when it was released, I was really impressed by the private life so full of suffering of a painter. Yesterday I saw my cousin's house.
briefly knew his paintings, so raw and honest, his face shown in many self-portraits, with eyebrows that both sets it apart, but the film again reminded me that Frida was not just the most famous Mexican painter, but also one fighter, political activist, a pioneer of feminism. The film traces
the life of the painter (played by Salma Hayek, also producer of the film) on the bus accident in 18 years: from that moment on, begin to love Frida painting, painting constantly bedridden for months because of painful and endless operations, which destroyed most of the incident itself. In parallel, knowledge, and then love for Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina), one of the most successful and admired painters of that period, a large man of 150 pounds, pluridivorziato, womanizer and nearly twenty years older than her. Union difficult, because of the continuous betrayal of him, that Frida bears a heavy heart, until he discovers the relationship between Diego and his sister Christina (Mia Maestro), and decides to divorce, to return to him a year later, aware of the strong bond that unites them too. She, too, however, perhaps to get even with Diego, he became a sfliza lovers, men and women (mostly lovers also her husband). I did not remember that it was also the lover of Trotsky, though years later was suspected of the murder with her husband Diego. A life full of extraordinary meetings, Picasso, Nelson Rockefeller, Breton, Eisentstein, but marked by the profound suffering that has accompanied her until her death at age 47. A suffering that is found in its production: the obsessive relationship with his broken body, the pains and disappointments Diego, desire, never realized, to have a child by the man she loves.
Bravissima Salma Hayek, so that Kahlo's niece gave her a necklace that belonged to the painter, the cool clothes and hairstyles of Frida, taken by the Mexican folk culture, wide and long skirts and hair braided with colorful ribbons. Oscar and BAFTA for Best Costume Design.

Baby Congratulation Wording From Business

A Serious Man, 2009, Joel & Ethan Coen


Man seriously the Coen breaks. Not much to say or do. I loved this movie, perhaps because it is a film waaay alleniana, both for the setting Jewish nerd who want to seek help from rabbis (seen as a kind of psychoanalyst).
The fact is that with this film the Coens have confirmed my opinion that the most positive impact on their production by Fargo onwards I was never disappointed.
But let's step back: Larry Gopnik (Michael Stuhlbarg) is a physics professor, lives in Minnesota, we are in 1967. Would live even if he did not calm the wife who falls in love with a family friend and wants a divorce, the child approaches the bar mitzvah that you smoke a lot of reed grass, the teenage daughter who steals money from his wallet to get rhinoplasty (which otherwise would be Jewish?), the unemployed brother who camped on his sofa, a South Korean student who tries to bribe him and a neighbor fascinating that disturbs his sleep ( but also its vigils).
short, a disaster. Larry is too quiet and normal in order to rebel against his existential instability. He can not even say " to " when his wife and his new companion system without fuss in a motel, or when it is threatened by the father of her South Korean student. Larry must escape from this situation, then encouraged by friends and family to see the rabbis: he sees three, as we see a shrink.
self-ironic and paradoxical vision of the Jewish world, won a National Board of Review Awards for best original screenplay, an Independent Spirit Award, a Satellite Award for Best Actor in a Comedy Michale Stuhlbarg and National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Original Screenplay.
Ah, one more thing. Emotion. Several times during the film begins with the voice of Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane, the unforgettable success, Somebody to lov e.

Gym Leotard Shopsnew York

Strawberry and Chocolate, 1994, Tomás Gutiérrez Alea


Strawberry and chocolate are two flavors of ice cream that is ill-fit. They are like Diego (Jorge Perrugorìa) and David (Vladimir Cruz). The first is a gay intellectual in the process of setting up an art exhibition, while the second is a young student activist Castro. In 1979, at the height of the scheme, being gay means ongoing police controls, exposure to public ridicule, forced labor ... This is a story of friendship, integration, curiosity, respect.
Diego seeks to know David, that the principle is annoyed by the attention that these are addressed: Do not want to be seen with him, asked to consider a stranger in public and does not want to even pet names assigned to it in private.
But does not want to break off this friendship that is being born, is fascinated, in its way, from the soul free-thinker Diego. At home it can read works of authorship and listening to records found because prohibited by the regime, quibble about poetry and history. And admire Diego for his nonconformity with the regime, so uncritical and constricting for his cultural interests, for freedom that exudes, though continuously monitored.
A manly hug at the end of the film seals a friendship destined to last, even if Diego will have to leave Cuba to escape persecution.
I cried once again, heck. Although the character of Diego, as full of interest and culture, it seemed a stretch, a caricature of homosexuality, it reminded me a bit 'in the movements, gestures, Tom Selleck in In & Out, as well as Robin Williams in Ostrich Feathers (remake of vice with Tognazzi, which I strongly recommend). Too exaggerated, too queers.
Silver Bear at the 1994 Berlin Film Festival Teddy Award for GLBT issues addressed and Oscar nominee for best foreign film.

This film I was very involved, not just drag and I got surprised by Eugene Hutz, but all the characters have inspired me special feelings. The grandfather, who for as long as the trip is cantankerous and aloof, he finds himself and won his blindness reliving the unbearable shame of his past, Jonathan, methodical devotion that lists every single thing that can form the memory of his family, is disturbing but pure, genuine.

When a win, God sends the X and Y, XX for females, XY for males, it is clear?
But my female X's over the trash and instead got a Y, scientific error. But God will fix everything. I will send my X and we could get married. "

Ludo has 7 years. Her long hair with bangs, plays with dolls and loves pink clothes. But Ludo is a boy, who does not accept to be like his brothers.
Ludo is pure, always says what he thinks. He wants to marry his best friend, and it is believed a baby-girl.

The father can not understand, is abrupt and raises his voice, his mother and grandmother instead become strong, try to stay close and to understand it. But it is not easy.
I personally felt like the whole film to tighten Ludo, I was touched and I cried. For spontaneity, for his frailty, and how she suffers.
This film won the Belgian Grand Prix at the International Film Festival Karlovy Vary the 1997 , the 1998 Golden Globe for best foreign film, Swann the gold for Best Film Festival of Cabourg 1997. I do not I ever heard, I looked intrigued by the plot and I was really impressed. Now you had better stop crying, it should be.

Astigmatic Keratotomy, Cost

Death and the Maiden, 1994, Roman Polanski


was not so much that I wrote about the criticism of some creative manipulation,
and in fact I had never done before in cinema, but want the chance , want the movie in question, want
for many other small or not small motifs, here I am talking in this blog of a film of the last new '94 discussed Polanski.
The story takes place in an undefined country in South America recently emerged from a brutal dictatorship,
in which, near the coast, lives the family of Gerardo and Paulina Escobar (Sigourney Weaver and Stuart Wilson).
Gerardo is a kind of democratic restructuring of the superstar, and has just agreed to direct the Board
that will investigate human rights violations occurred during the years of dictatorship, during which
Paulina, as a dissident, suffered terrible torture and sexual violence. Paulina is aware
of office by a radio news bulletin, just before a blackout that will isolate the house by telephone.
the return of her husband who comes home together on a different car, Paulina panics,
off and the candles that light the home, takes refuge in the shadows at the window, armed with a gun.
Seeing the husband calms down and finds the hole and took his car through the kindness of
(Ben Kingsley) in her home.
When the situation appears to fall in the calm after a discussion also took issue with the new appointment of Gerard,
the friendly stranger returns to deliver the rubber that had been forgotten, and go for a drink.
From here, everything takes a dark turn, and it will happen a sequence of more or less hidden truth that will definitely float,
that the nightmares will never placated by an intense Sigourney Weaver into the deep
and wrap the plot in a black glaze, teeming with dramatic memories.
The type description is typical of paranoia
polanskiana , which can not fail to recall
anxiety were well known for films like "The Tenant".
The Weaver can dominate and lead the psychological mood of the viewer with uncanny naturalness,
giving proof of great skill.
Perhaps not among the best known and highly filmed by French / Polish, but I personally think this work
an essential film to see a full syntactic and historical understanding of the filmmaker.

But is saved by the strange new neighbor, who advises him not to dismiss a strategy: pretend gay. The company he works for would have a huge image damage, and he needs to work to pay alimony to former wife.

It starts with another French film, there is also Depardieau (more French than that!), In a colleague's Francois, Felix. The workplace, all his colleagues are beginning to look at it differently from heterosexual banal and dull character of yesterday becomes the most whispered that triggers curiosity and gossip.
Through his alleged homosexuality able to regain the interest of the child, with whom he ends up smoking pot after a dinner with the usual "spaghetti pirate."

Community Service Log Sheet

Otto femmes, 2002, Francois Oizon

I love French movies! For most of this all-female film is at times even a musical! I could not ask for more for an afternoon with my cousin, I love when people began to sing and dance where you least expect it!
But it's not a comedy, a thriller is true: in a secluded villa in the snow in the French countryside, the patriarch is killed Marcel, and every woman in his family for one reason or another, could be the killer.
's wife (Catherine Deneuve), or the unmarried sister (Isabelle Huppert), but also the two daughters (Virginie Ledoyen and Ludivine Sagnier), the old mother-in-law (he bent with laughter, "but you're un'invertita?" , Danielle Derrieux), or the two rulers (Emanuelle Beart and Firmine Richard)?
Each of them has a reason to get it off. Family intrigue, money, power, everything is here in this transposition of the theater piece Huit Femmes Robert Thomas. What makes the film really cute, as well as the fantastic cast, the scenery is so pompous and colorful, and the dresses of the ladies (the film takes place in the 50s, I might say more?), Absolutely fantastic.
