for quite some time after the recent remake fever hit mollywood , the viewers has sensed it as an endeavor to make quick cash with little efforts of throwing up some sensuous , vivid scenes with older screenplays . ' chattakkari ' , from its initial promos look no way different , but failing to rework on the script has made it a strictly average endeavour that may not get the applauds for recreating a period classic .
' puthiya theerangal ' story is simple , first and second halves treated & packed with perfect methods like humour and emotional situations . furthermore , the film mentioned a good message .

after the super hit malayalam movie ‘beautiful’ , director v . k prakash and jayasurya and anoopmenon are once again joining their hands for yet another malayalam movie titled “trivandrum lodge” . the film is being produced by sebastian under the banner ‘time and entertainment’ . anoop menon is the scriptwriter and lyricist . the shoot of this film will start from 15 th april at kochi .

the movie is about romance and mine is a passionate character . but this became an issue for me initially . one reason was that the hero ( hemanth ) and i met for the first time during the photo shoot . but my shyness eased off , thanks to the encouragement provided by the director santhosh sethumadhavan ( son of director k s sethu madhavan who took the original version of ' chattakkari ' ) . i had no hesitation in wearing short skirts and frocks for the film , because the character demands it . i was thoroughly comfortable during the shoot , and i feel as an actor i should not get myself confined to certain type of roles only

now hit maker shafi , is planning to start a movie by the same name . but instead of mammootty , shafi ' s film would have three heroes - jayasurya , biju menon and kunchacko boban .
now , the greatest problem with a remake could be that most of the viewers will be aware about the whole storyline even before the movie starts . this raises the obvious question on why a film needs to be remade , when the dvds of the original are readily available . here , the answer could be the market for titillation and that is exactly what the makers of this film are eyeing as well .
' molly auntie rocks ' - story is quite impressive and the sequences are packed with vital and recent social issues , perfectly . specially the film is high - toned , but it could be make much simple
the film with lead roles played by lal and mekhnaraj follows the life of palachuveettil giivargese kuriakose eesho , played by lal . mekhnaraj plays his wife ' anuradha ' aka annama and nasriya plays his daughter ' maria ' aka mariama . other peoples intervention in their life is what takes the story further . the film also stars padmapriya as ' dr rasiya ' , shreejith vijay as maria ' s boyfriend ' baby ' and pooja gandhi .

an ensemble cast is deserving of an equally able musical score—and the soundtrack doesn’t disappoint . produced by the award - winning gopi sunder , bangalore days ' upbeat soundtrack is fitting for a film all about family . soothing acoustic guitars blend seamlessly with backing tablas , complemented by the singer’s undeniable vocal range . sunder manages to achieve variety in production , but still stays true to the film ' s feel - good heart . brighten up your day with gopi sunder’s rich bangalore days soundtrack .
the sultry julie , in a knee - length flowery frock and a sensuous smile on her face had won the hearts of a generation . ' chattakkari ' released in 1974 and subsequently the hindi version ' julie ' released the next year , went on to become blockbusters . the script was an out and out heroine - oriented one and lakshmi - who played the female part in both versions became extremely popular . and now with the latest adaptation of the movie due for release on september 13 , the new - age julie , shamna kasim says she is a bundle of nerves .

the casting process of much hyped flick from hariharan - m . t . team is on the way . along with indrajith , who was confirmed earlier , narain and mohana will also play important roles in this film by the team . pazhassiraja which was directedby hariharan and penned by m . t was a blockbuster . mohana aka kavitha nair had earlier appeared in a tamil film mudhal idham . as per the sources the actress is very much excited to get such an opportunity to kick start her innings in malayalam .
veteran film producer , director , and entrepreneur navodaya appachan passed away today at 6 . 43 pm at cochin . he was 88 . he had been honoured with jc daniel award for his contribution to malayalam cinema industry . he is the founder of navodaya studio . he had several ‘firsts’ to his credits . appachan had pioneered several novel ventures in the film industrylike first 3d movie my dear kuttichathan , first cinemascope film thacholi ambu and the first70mm movie padayottam . appachan was also the producer of the mega - serial ` bible ki kahaniyaan ' on doordarshan . he had produced several hit malayalam movies under the banner of navodaya productions . navodaya appachan aka maliampurackal chacko punnoose had been instrumental for the entry of several new talents to theindustry including superstar mohanlal , famous director fazil and so on .
in all fairness , actors like shamna kasim and suvarna mathew have come up with nice performances , but it is just that the film lacks the zing to match up with the current times . innocent repeats his usual style and hemanth hams it up all along .
22 female kottayam , directedby aashiq abu and starring rima kallingal , fahad fazil and sajid in the lead , has emerged as the best film of the week . the film has been declared as a blockbuster hit at the box office . 22 female kottayam , made with a budget of rs 2 crores received rave reviews and fetched 70 - 80 percent collections at the box office last week . the film especially did well at the metros , even though it is holding on well in rural areas as well . the collections for 22 female kottayam is bound to increase in the days to come as the topic is widely being discussed in media groups and television chat shows . rima kallingal ' s depiction of a22 year old rape victim has gone down very well with independent and modern girls in kerala .
' trivandrum lodge ' lacks the perfect story and the sequences much more flavoured with dialogues about human feelings like affections , love and sex , purposely . even though the film has aiming some realistic characters , but it has scads of porn - com dialogues and scenes .
the film is about a relationship between a young anglo - indian girl and a hindu boy . both are in love with each other , but their respective religions comes in the way . julie ' s mother is aghast and so is the boy ' s family .
the film has no central characters , but it majorly follow the characters of anoop menon , jayasurya , honey rose and there performance is good . other some characters of saiju kurup , thesni khan , p . jayachandran and p . balachandran are notable and they are attractively done it .
aftera gap of 21 long years , shaji kailasand jayaram are uniting for a movie named as ‘madirashi’ which will be produced by popular event management company impressario . the movie is expected to hit the screens in october . it was in kilukkampetti , that the duo had earlier co - operated . the film was the last complete comedy film from shaji kailas . his last release ' the king and the commissioner’ is still running in some theatres . shaji kailas is presently busy with the prithviraj starrer ' simhasanam ' and the work on ' madirashi ' would start soon afterits completion .
is a remake of the 1974 movie of the same title , directed by his father , well known director k s sethumadhavan . the film is based on a story by pamman and things remain almost the same , except that the new one is aiming more at titillation and less emotions .

mr . august traced the origins of
best intentions
to a time two and a half years ago , when he was preparing to film
the house of the spirits ,
based on the isabel allende novel about a chilean family . problems arose with financing , and one day , mr . august said , he received a call from a woman in swedish television asking if he would be interested in a project intended to yield both a television film and a feature film .
the clone wars served as an introduction to the animated series of the same name that premiered on cartoon network on october 3 , 2008 . george lucas was inspired to make the movie while reviewing footage from the show and described the film as
almost an afterthought .
[ 4 ] the film was released august 15 , 2008 .
the verdict : with a title that falls firmly under so - bad - it ' s - good , it ' s disappointing that the rest of the film doesn ' t follow suit . 2 fast is paper - thin and full of highly questionable racial and gender stereotypes , and the while the original film is hardly shakespeare , we could forgive the film its flaws if the race sequences were any good . they’re not , though – they’re overly cartoony , and it’s almost impossible to tell what’s going on .
here , the film’s supposed lack of authenticity is cast as residing both artistically in its pornographic ( crude , almost sadistic ) representations of poverty and also in its lack of national loyalty , its supposedly insidious implication that india has a seedy underbelly of poverty , crime and resentment . but responses to the film in india were by no means all of the same character . many indian reviewers and critics saluted what they termed the novel techniques and the subject matter of the film , eschewing nationalist discourses and decrying what they termed the ‘insecurity’ of indians who always wanted india to be depicted in a ‘good’ light . there were , however , also avowed ‘insiders’ who , like soutik biswas reviewing the film for the bbc , noted that the film’s popular critical reception might come at the expense both of an understanding of real poverty , real indian children and other cinemas in india :
the film ' s music was composed by kevin kiner . [ 18 ] steward lee is a storyboard artist . [ 8 ] when it was decided to produce the film , lucasfilm contacted all the major film star wars actors to see who was interested in voicing their characters for the clone wars . [ 19 ] in the end , anthony daniels , matthew wood , christopher lee and samuel l . jackson returned to voice their respective characters . [ 20 ] several voice actors also reprised their roles from the 2003 series .

lucasfilm animation used autodesk software to animate both the film . the maya 3d modeling program to create highly detailed worlds , characters and creatures . [ 15 ] the film ' s animation style was designed to pay homage to the stylized looks of both japanese anime and manga , and the supermarionation of the british 1960s series thunderbirds . at a cartoon network - hosted discussion , lucas said did not want the clone wars film or television series to look like such movies as beowulf because he wanted a stylized look rather than a realistic one , and he did not want it to look like the popular pixar films such as the incredibles because he wanted the film and characters to have a unique style . [ 16 ] lucas also decided to create the animated film and series from a live - action perspective , which winder said set it apart from other cgi films because it
meant using long camera shots , aggressive lighting techniques , and relying on editing instead of storyboards .
[ 10 ] animators also reviewed designs from the original 2003 clone wars series when creating the animation style for the film and the new series . [ 17 ]
at toyfare 2008 , a lego official announced that an animated feature film would be released in the uk in september 2008 , [ 24 ] and would be made up of the first three episodes of the series , with regular episodes airing later on television on an at - the - time unrevealed channel . [ 25 ] it was officially announced on february 12 , 2008 that the feature film would be released in theaters on august 15 , 2008 , with the tv series debuting in the fall . [ 2 ] warner bros . showed a preview of the film in las vegas , nevada on march 13 , 2008 . [ 26 ] lucas attended the event and held a question and answer session . [ 7 ] the first theatrical trailer debuted on may 8 , 2008 on five separate turner network channels . [ 27 ] a second trailer was released in june 2008 . [ 28 ]
a true hidden gem . i don ' t think i have heard a soul talk about this film but it is truly a good one . a great performance by turturro . . truly frightening .

further , and in particular , notions drawn from critiques of ethnographic film , now circulating in visual anthropology ( martinez 1992 ; macdougall 1995 ; pink , 2001 ) , provided an interesting lens for examining some of the anxieties caused by the film around notions of representation , class politics , nation and authenticity . while slumdog millionaire had no overt pretensions to being an ethnographic account of life in indian slums , and was , in fact , openly touted by its makers as a ‘feel - good film’ , many of its re / viewers implicitly used criteria from ethnography or realist criteria from social science to evaluate , understand and comment on its qualities and their reactions to it . sarah pink’s discussion of current scholarship on audiences of ethnographic film and video is illustrative of why this approach can prove fruitful :
the film premiered at grauman ' s egyptian theatre on august 10 , 2008 , [ 29 ] and was later screened on august 14 , 2008 at los angeles ' s nokia theater accompanying a lucasfilm vip party with special guests john knoll and dave filoni . spiketv producer terry minogue speculated that his channel would debut the film on television at some point after its theatrical release . [ 30 ] the film had its canadian broadcast premiere on september 5 , 2009 on the canadian tv station teletoon , [ source ? ] and in the us on cartoon network on november 20 , 2010 . [ 31 ]
initially much of the negative feedback roused by the film was from primarily middle - class indians apparently incensed that the film was depicting india in a negative light as a country of gangsters , riots , child prostitutes and filthy slums . one blogger wrote : ‘having seen the movie the indian within me is raging [ 2 ] . ’ the times online [ 3 ] ran a piece in january 2009 which explored some of the mixed responses to the film in india , starting with ‘ [ c ] ritics , led by amitabh bachchan , the veteran bollywood star , [ who ] denounced it as “poverty porn” that perpetuated western stereotypes about india’ . others claimed that the term “slumdog” was offensive [ 4 ] . various reports emerged of slum - dwellers attacking cinema theatres showing the film in north - east india because of a misunderstanding of the term ‘slumdog’ , which they read in a derogatory light ( sic ) . in response to praise for the film by shekhar kapoor on his blog , one ‘indian’ writes :
by the way , about those penguins . there ' s a note at the end of the film that states the following :
many thanks to the penguins in this film . they were treated most respectfully and no harm ever came to them in their work .
fine . fine . i ' m glad somebody was thinking about the penguins . but what about us ? what about our feelings ?
at last month ' s oscars pitched arguably america ' s hottest comedian alongside a 63 - year - old whose latest film , the pink panther 2 , looked painfully like a ticket to early retirement .
about you and cinema - are you an experienced film viewer ? what’s your preferred style of cinema ? - what do you look forward to most in a movie ? - have you ever been to see hindi popular films ( bollywood ) ? if yes , can you describe a few of your experiences of film viewing . if no , could you give me an idea of what you think about ‘bollywood’ and where you got those impressions from ? about you and slumdog general ( if you remember , of course ! ) - had you heard about the film before you saw it ? what had you heard / read / seen ?
nearly at the end of the credits there is the following paragraph : ' many thanks to the penguins in this film . they were treated most respectfully and no harm ever came to them in their work . '
ain ' t it cool news , a movie review site , posted two reviews of the film during the week before its release , but pulled them down due to an embargo placed on those attending the screening its writers attended . the same reviews were reposted on the site the day of the film ' s release . the retraction prompted some readers to allege a conspiracy by lucasfilm to keep negative press out of circulation until the release of the film , but although the review by site creator harry knowles was negative , drew
moriarty
mcweeny pointed out to readers that his review was positive and that no such conspiracy existed . [ 50 ]
given his lack of pro - ready technique and the crowded depth chart ahead of him , the smart money was on moncrief taking a few years to put out effective nfl film . you would have lost that bet .
• this was the most expensive film in the series so far . the train heist sequence alone cost $ 25 million to make , and involved buying a stretch of railway in mexico and an actual train to blow up .
paying attention , then , to power relations , to pleasures , to individual self - narratives and to the groups of discursive readings emerging from viewings of the film , the following section presents a snapshot of the data collected .
then there ' s what looks like a bathysphere with wings , which is actually something referred to as a ' glider ' in the film - sort of like a mini personal hovercraft as near as i can make out .
when it comes to the five boroughs of new york , the bronx usually receives a bad press . no matter that its 42 . 5 square miles embrace everything from lovely mansions and expansive parklands to alluring retreats like city island and exciting venues like yankee stadium ; no matter its ethnic and cultural diversity , the bronx is usually described in terms reserved for combat zones .
a violent and psychotic rapist is released from prison and returns to his old neighborhood to terrorize the locals . a few of the neighbors find their lives turned upside - down by his return , and this film is their story .
a strange film . i kind of liked it . good acting , especially in an early role by john turturro . excellent acting by the penguins too . quirky , unconnected stories that connect up in the end . kind of .
this film is rated r . linda . . . jodie foster harry . . . tim robbins james . . . todd graff heinz . . . john turturro mrs . sabantino . . . rose gregorio melanie . . . elizabeth berridge
mr . bergman has remained very much in the background of
best intentions ,
preferring to let mr . august discuss the film , which tells the story of mr . bergman ' s parents over a decade beginning in 1908 .
despite its flaws , prometheus is a visually stunning film ( well worth the extra expense of 3 - d ) that leaves the viewer pondering its themes of creation ' s longing to know its creator long after the credits have rolled .
“i believe in order to do the kind of adventures we all do—skiing , climbing , kayaking , surfing , whatever—it stuck to me that those five principles have to be imbedded in our adventures , otherwise there’s no real reason to do them—because really , they’re what it’s all about . ” if you’ve had your finger on the pulse of outdoor film at all in the past few years , y ou’ve probably seen a film that was somehow supported by 5point . like cold , directed and edited by anson fogel ; the wolf & the medallion by jeremy collins ; or 14 . c about climber kai lightner . “we try to spread the love to different filmmakers , ” says julie kennedy . “and if we don’t have the money , we’ll fit them with a particular brand that might have chemistry . we like to help be the networking agent to connect the filmmaker with the appropriate brands . ” “it used to be that the film festivals were the main channel for a filmmaker to get a film out and that isn’t the case now , ” cahall says . “the filmmakers aren’t as beholden to the festivals . i think 5point realized and decided that their mission wasn’t to be the biggest festival ; they wanted to be best . for them , it meant fewer films , more collaboration with the filmmakers . that’s enticing as a filmmaker . ”
but movie makers know better . and while they don ' t shy away from some of its grittier reality , neither do they fail to appreciate the borough as a backdrop for drama and comedy . take nancy savoca , for instance , who grew up in the bronx and used the sociology of its italian - american community and its mating rites as the substance of true love ( 1989 , mgm / ua home video , $ 89 . 95 ) , newly released on videcassette . this funny and poignant film about an altar - bound couple ( annabella sciorra and ron eldard ) won the jury prize for best dramatic film at last year ' s united states film festival and went on to significant critical acclaim .
‘the most interesting and satisfying section of the film treats jamal’s early childhood in the mumbai slums . one aerial shot , in particular , makes a strong impression as the camera pulls back revealing an impossible number of shacks with rusted tin roofs . one is staggered by the wretched conditions , the number of the dwellings and how close each one is to the next . in another of the film’s stronger moments , the predominantly muslim community is invaded by hindu - chauvinist thugs . the horror of the moment is communicated with feeling , although the film lacks social and historical context regarding hindu extremism in the country . these images , and others showing an orphaned jamal and his brother salim living in makeshift tents on a landfill or sleeping in empty railroad boxcars to avoid a rainstorm , are significant and valuable . they have clearly made an impact on many viewers , despite the serious limitations of the film’s approach . ’ ( hiram lee , world socialist website , urltoken )
• neither michelle rodriguez or jordana brewster had a driving license prior to working on the film . rodriguez – who’s been caught speeding and dui since – says that learning for the fast and the furious probably gave her some bad driving habits .
but the valley’s isolation , in one of the driest and most sparsely populated corners of the southwest , helped protect it from the outside world . there is no evidence that 17th - or 18th - century spanish explorers ever found it , although they roamed the area and came in frequent conflict with the navajo , who called themselves diné , or “the people . ” the navajo lived in an area today known as the four corners , where utah , arizona , colorado and new mexico meet . they called monument valley tsé bii ndzisgaii , or “clearing among the rock , ” and regarded it as an enormous hogan , or dwelling , with the two isolated stone pinnacles to the north—now known as gray whiskers and sentinel—as its door posts . they considered the two soaring buttes known as the mittens to be the hands of a deity .
though critical reception was negative , the film was a box office success , and grossed $ 68 . 3 million worldwide against an $ 8 . 5 million budget , [ 5 ] and earned $ 14 . 6 million dollars during its opening weekend .
‘the fairytale power of the film is the way boyle manages to capture the evolution of the city through the eyes of a child . it’s visually astonishing . the film gets under the skin of the city on every imaginable level . the cinematographer anthony dod mantle is an insouciant genius with a camera . you could hang his lush stills of garbage heaps , frowning waifs and skeletal tower blocks in any respectable art gallery . by the same token the film must have been murder to edit… . . the director has never been shy of manipulating emotions and characters to crank out the maximum screen emotion . the scented backdrops and flavours of mumbai dilute the crude liberties that boyle occasionally inflicts on the melodrama . ’ ( the times , james christopher , urltoken ) .
or at least one movie anyway - meg , that giant shark film starring jason statham that you probably heard something about last year when every glad - rag and women ' s mag was running pictures of the action star as he gadded about auckland .
mr . shanley and mr . bill set their scene and introduce the characters with a good deal of humor and insight . there ' s a very funny early sequence in which a bored neighborhood romeo pays two strangers five bucks to take his girlfriends off his hands . the movie hits just the proper note of comedy mixed with melodrama when two couples find themselves trapped , possibly fatally , in an elevator shaft .
because
best intentions
was intended as a 6 - hour television mini - series to be shown in 4 90 - minute segments before its release as a 2 - hour 45 - minute feature film , mr . august spent 9 months filming it .
many print reviewers writing at the time of the film’s release seemed to take an ‘outsider’ perspective , reading the film’s brilliance in its ability to entertain cinematically and to educate about a particular place or historical moment in india [ 1 ] . they write : ‘one is staggered by the wretched conditions , the number of the dwellings and how close each one is to the next’ ; ‘the film gets under the skin of the city on every imaginable level’ ; ‘the type of movie experience that inspires moviegoers to become movie snobs’ . the discourses in such reviews shift back and forth from 1 ) praise of the novelty and proficiency of the film’s technical expertise through 2 ) comments on the plausibility and entertainment value of the plot to 3 ) discussions of more philosophical and political themes . the language of emotion is clearly at play here – to be awed , staggered , inspired , disturbed are some of the pleasures on offer . to learn about something that is authentic , ‘under the skin’ , so to speak , about the lives of bombay’s poor is another of the pleasures described by reviewers . positive reviews also pay attention to a fourth category of discourse – critical or less than enthusiastic responses to the film – and attempt to undermine such critiques while continuing to maintain the reviewers’ own place as cinematic sophisticates .
ofir : my first stint in filmmaking was when i joined the army eight years ago . i was a cameraman in the film unit . after my release in 2010 , i started working on documentaries and music videos until i got my first break as a cinematographer for israeli tv . this was a great opportunity to pay my bills and to also develop my own cinematic language , it was almost like being at film school . in 2014 i lived in new york for a while , i buried myself in cinema .
the plot : teen tearaway sean boswell has a run - in with the law due to his love of reckless driving , and is sent to live with his father in tokyo . falling in with the local drift - racing scene , sean vies with yakuza - connected rival takashi for the title of drift king . ( drift racing , it seems , is a driving style that involves skidding around corners , mario kart - style . )
ridley scott , director of alien and blade runner , returns to the genre he helped define . with prometheus , he creates a groundbreaking mythology , in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on earth , leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe . there , they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race . - - ( c ) official site
in short , a very impressive feat of building and engineering in a desert location where there is no power , no lighting , no water , no nothing , except during burning man when 70 , 000 people from all corners of the planet will flock here for a week to create one of the most vibrant urban environments on earth–black rock city–and then , not long after the man is burned to the ground , disappear with nary a trace .
in b’s description of his viewing and his own history , the fact that he watches and enjoys hindi films stands out . he positions himself as an ardent film fan , but claims no authority further than that of knowing which films he likes and which do not merit a second viewing . he names his wife as a viewing companion and speaks about her also in his description of responses to the film ( we saw it but we didn’t go back… ; we found the children very good… ) . however , at one point he clearly distinguishes his wife’s opinion – and her feeling that the film smudges out important distinctions between different strata and lives amongst those who are poor in urban india . he goes on to support his wife’s opinion about slumdog ’s clichéd reduction of urban slum poverty to a gangster - victim binary by referring to his own experience : ‘the worst we do is drink a bit we don’t join in a gang’ . here both knowledge of films and of life work to de - exoticise the narrative and techniques of slumdog . here also another common discourse emerges that views the director as ‘inauthentic’ in a way that , perhaps , even the most elite hindi film directors might not be regarded . and this , as atticus nairn points out , is a complex matter , however one feels about the film itself :
such ridiculously grandiose claims , and such ‘poverty tourism’ as it has been labeled , worked for some to further discredit the film’s claims to represent something authentic about india and for others to do exactly the opposite [ 8 ] . no study can assume that viewers’ interactions with such a popular film take place in a vacuum , uncontaminated , so to speak , by the debates , values and animosities outlined in this section . it was , therefore , with this wider media context in mind that this study was designed and carried out .

warner bros . also has the home video rights , and had planned a dvd release of the film and tv series as early as february 2008 . [ 8 ] star wars : the clone wars was released on home video on november 11 , 2008 , as a single - disc dvd , a two - disc special edition dvd set , and a two - disc blu - ray set . the single and double - disc standard - definition versions both include the widescreen film with dolby digital 5 . 1 surround ex sound , and the feature - length audio commentary .
when mr . august first visited mr . bergman in stockholm , he wanted to know if mr . bergman planned to impose any conditions on their collaboration .
it was important for me to trust myself and not to try to do an ingmar bergman film ,
mr . august said .
the verdict :
even low - born , trash cinema like this can cheat time and beat death ,
wrote robbie collin .
that’s the movies’ single greatest power – and why i found myself unexpectedly shedding a tear at the film’s perfectly judged , sunbathed , final fade to white .
since its release in january , the crow : new songs for the five - string banjo has had a warmer critical reception than the pink panther 2 , a second failed bid to escape the shadow of peter sellers in the role of inspector jacques clouseau . martin , it seems , can handle it .
i ' m used to bad review for movies because people like to attack them , but i ' d be sad if the reviews were bad for this album ,
he has said .
don’t get us wrong , after the plot and character vacuum of tokyo drift , fast & furious is an improvement ( even if it does criminally miss out on the punning potential of calling itself fast and four - ious ) . but considering its name , the film’s a bit … well , dull & angsty . vin diesel’s gravel - meets - charcoal mumbling makes a welcome return and there’s a proper plot with characters and everything , but the final chase through an awfully - rendered cgi mining tunnel already looks more outdated than the temple of doom . and several of the film’s chase sequences involve the characters being directed by satnavs . how rebellious .
the verdict : fast & furious 6 is equally loud , dumb and fun as the previous film , this time throwing a tank , a cargo plane , and a car that can flip other cars over into the mix . the majority of the action takes place in london , meaning a fun game of
spot the landmark before it’s smashed to smithereens
for uk viewers . most exciting of all is the closing sting , which not only ties in han’s death from tokyo drift , but also teases the next film’s villain : jason statham . starring alongside vin diesel and the rock . that’s three for three on the tally of bald punching machines .
the film ' s title is
mac ,
and mr . turturro , the star of the coen brothers '
barton fink
and a featured player in spike lee ' s
do the right thing
and
mo ' better blues ,
among other films , started writing it about 10 years ago .
for those intent on the borough ' s bleaker side , there is fort apache , the bronx ( 1981 , vestron video , $ 29 . 98 ) , the daniel petrie film about the lot of policemen assigned there . the notable cast includes paul newman , danny aiello , edward asner , ken wahl and rachel ticotin .
dwayne ' the rock ' johnson hasn’t earned the nickname “franchise viagra” for nothing , and pitting him against dom , brian and the crew is fast & furious 5 ' s greatest strength . where previous instalments seemed to question themselves ( “will people care if we don’t bring vin diesel back ? shall we just ditch the other films and do one in tokyo ? how little plot is too much plot ? ” ) , fast five is an exercise in glorious , unrestrained excess . really , really stupid , but really , really good .
despite low box office and negative critical reviews , audience response over time to the film has proven favorable in some aspects . as of november 13 , 2014 , the film carries an overall rating of 4 . 0 / 5 user - reviewed stars at amazon . com , with 145 / 284 reviews giving it a rating of 5 stars and only 43 giving it less than 3 stars . [ 73 ] amongst reviewer statements were that it ' s
good for what it tries to do
[ 74 ] and that it
offers a subpar story but sort of makes up for it with pretty cool battle sequences and decent animation .
[ 75 ]
i said : ' no . not now , '
he said .
she said , ' ingmar bergman wrote a wonderful story , and he wants you to direct it . ' and i said i was extremely moved and very honored . ingmar bergman is maybe one of the few legends left in the film world .
his mercurial spirit , expansive curiosity and introspective corners are seldom glimpsed by followers of his movies . among his friends is geoff dyer , the british author of books such as but beautiful and out of sheer rage , who recalled :
he sent me a letter via my publisher which said : ' just wanted to tell you what i ' ve told so many people - out of sheer rage is the funniest book i ' ve ever read . ' we met after that and became friends . he ' s incredibly funny and fantastic company to be with .
my generation grew up mourning the death of bambi ' s mother . now comes
the lion king ,
with the death of mufasa , the father of the lion cub who will someday be king . the disney animators know that cute little cartoon characters are not sufficient to manufacture dreams . there have to be dark corners , frightening moments , and ancient archetypes like the crime of regicide .
the lion king ,
which is a superbly drawn animated feature , is surprisingly solemn in its subject matter , and may even be too intense for very young children .
as impressive as he was to take in as a physical specimen , his film coming out of college was not as kind . moncrief had flashes of that integrated technique , but it came and went in waves . his final year was marred by inconsistencies and an inability to string it all together on a route - to - route basis .
to further complicate matters the off - screen life of the indian slum child stars and of the slum - dwellers of dharavi , the shantytown where some of the film was shot , began to make headlines . in an article for the sydney morning herald entitled ‘slumdog reality’ , kay o sullivan interviewed a man conducting tours of india’s largest slum :
