Is this the perfect romantic comedy? The chemistry between Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp is electrifying. And did we mention Judi Dench and Alfred Molina?
I just recently watched this movie and I would recommend it to those who love adventure movies that are children and family friendly
This is the tale of an alien invasion but not in the way that you expect. It’s a great plot and with this movie, you’d get irritated with the human race and at the same time appreciate our own existence.
Mamma Mia is a feel-good movie with lots of singing and dancing but although it is a musical, there is still a funny story behind it. All the songs sang in the movie are all from the famous pop group ABBA while there are some additional music there too as composed by Benny Anderson who was also a member of ABBA.
Once tells an interesting story of a man and a woman as they attempt to create a series of spontaneous songs that they then lay down into tracks over the course of a weekend of all-nighters.
News has it that the band Boyzone decided to make a movie about themselves. They want to create a story based on their life as a band, with how they reached the stars, what happened why they ended up going solo and how they reunited and made a comeback.
This is a movie based on a true story on which the writer J. Michael Straczynski has spent a lot of time researching and gathering information for what was later to become the scrip.
Steven Spielberg is always associated with multi-million budget films that aim to wow the audience right from the start. Even if he wants to be emotional, he always do it with a bang. It’s hard to remember the last time he got himself drowned at work for a small budget film.
Will Smith on the other hand also has the same caliber when it comes to making blockbuster films. As the Independence Day guy, his consecutive success in movies every Independence Day has made him one of the most recognized actors today.
Heroes used to be the “it” TV series. Everyone was using the catch phrase “save the cheerleader, save the world” as the popularity and unique story line of heroes has caught the imagination of the viewing public. Everyone was glued to the tube when heroes was on.
Television is a big industry. It has been a big industry for years and chances are very good that it will continue to be a big industry for some time to come. However, one aspect of television that seems to be going downhill these days is the sitcom category and since sitcoms form a large part of the demand for television in the first place, the poor performance of modern sitcoms in relationship to their counterparts from other areas can be directly tied to the poor performance of television overall.
There have been several documentaries recently about Iraq. It’s probably Michael Moore’s doing with Farenheit 911, which gave documentary star status and brought it closer to reality TV than quality film making. That sparked lots of low budget on line documentaries, some indeed involving the war in Iraq, and it also sparked a more general interest in documentaries, both on the side of the film makers, as well as that of audiences.
Most documentaries dealing with this war (Farenheit 911, Iraq For Sale, Taxi To The Dark Side, etc.) may have small elements of comedy, in order to break the string of extremely serious issues being discussed, but for the most part are solemn affairs, dealing with death, lies and manipulation. Surprisingly enough, death, lies and manipulation (and the Iraq war) seem to be the main themes of Full Battle Rattle, however they make it funny. And poignant. But mostly funny.
Now before I get attacked by a slew of condemnations and recommendations about The Golden Girls, or Faulty Towers and the such, let’s all remember that entertainment is subjective. It’s all a matter of taste. Especially when it comes to sitcoms, they are not high art, they are just there to entertain and numb your brain after a long day at work and a hot and sticky commute. So here are just some of the sitcoms I have enjoyed watching over the last few years.
It’s been less than a week that I made my post on Tim Burton and I just read on the BBC that an actress has been picked to play the role of Alice in his adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s fantasy novel.
Soundtracks act as indicators of what era the film is set in, whether it is a comedy or a horror, whether a character being introduced is good or bad.
For More 4’s Kubrick season, from films such as Lolita, Eyes Wide Shut and The Shining, and rushed in each time to catch the end of trailer.
My mother’s last birthday present to me was a box set. What can I say, the woman knows me well. Probably because I had been going on and on about Shane Meadows and This is England. So now I own a box set of his films called This is Shane Meadows and it includes all of his feature films as well as some wonderful bonus material.
A few months ago I came across a Sweeney Todd poster in a film magazine, and being a huge Tim Burton and Johnny Depp fan it went straight on the wall. Even though I had been thoroughly disappointed by pretty much everything he had done since Big Fish, I assumed that Tim+Johnny+Helena+Blood+Musical would most definitely equal success. So after dragging 5 of my friends to the cinema to watch Sweeney Todd I went straight home and literally tore the poster off the wall.
In a week’s time the Dark Knight hits the cinemas and boy has it received…
