the tree of wooden clogs ( italian : l'albero degli zoccoli ) is a 1978 italian film written and directed by ermanno olmi .

the film concerns lombard peasant life in a cascina ( farmhouse ) of the late 19th century .

it has some similarities with the earlier italian neorealist movement , in that it focuses on the lives of the poor , and the parts were played by real farmers and locals , rather than professional actors .

it won fourteen awards including the palme d'or at cannes and the césar award for best foreign film .

the original version of the movie is spoken in bergamasque , an eastern lombard dialect .

the tree of wooden clogs won a number of international awards , including the palme d’or and the prize of the ecumenical jury at cannes , and the flaherty documentary award from bafta ( a highly appropriate choice , given what we know about how flaherty scripted and cast his documentaries ) .
italian director ermanno olmi spent most of his career making documentaries , but is best known today for his 1978 feature film , the tree of wooden clogs , which draws from his extensive experience with non - fiction filmmaking to tell a story that seems truer than life itself . the tree of wooden clogs , which olmi wrote , shot , directed , and edited , follows the lives of a group of peasants in lombardy ( northern italy ) over the course of a year . set near the end of the 19th century , the film recreates their traditional way of life in all its beauty and cruelty .
according to mike leigh , “the tree of wooden clogs is a film about man and place , environment , seasons , the passing cycle of things ; it’s about power , class , religion and faith ; love , superstition and journeys ; life and death . ”
ermanno olmi’s masterpiece the tree of the wooden clogs , which follows the lives of three peasant families in turn - of - the - century lombardy for approximately one year , is unusual among italian peasant epics in that its director is of peasant stock , and the narrative , based on his grandmother’s stories of rural life , reflects his family’s own experiences .
olmi works very close to the land himself . he is in the neorealist tradition of desica , who experimented in
shoeshine
and
bicycle thief
with the use of non - professionals . the people in
the tree of wooden clogs
are not actors , we are told , but olmi finds astonishing performances in them .
the story of minec and his clogs provides the scaffolding for the tree of wooden clogs , but the film’s real subject is the daily life of the tenant farmers , which is recreated in extraordinary detail . the experience of watching this film is something like visiting a historical site staffed with re - enactors who demonstrate how people lived and worked in a different century , from planting and harvesting their crops to doing the laundry and bathing in a wooden bucket . the famous pig - slaughtering scene , which lasts about eight minutes , is presented as simply one more aspect of life as lived by these peasants and is not in the least gratuitous . at just over three hours long , the slow - paced the tree of wooden clogs will try the patience of some modern viewers , but it’s worth giving the film a chance , to settle into its rhythms and take a virtual journey into a time and place where the pace of life was quite different than it is today .
ermanno olmi first conceived of the tree of wooden clogs ( 1978 ) while making documentary shorts like time stood still ( 1959 ) for the edison volta electric company . inspired by the stories that his grandmother had told him , he spent months interviewing farm workers from his native lombardy , basing the scenario and dialogue on their recollections .
was the palme d’or winner at cannes in 1978 and now gets a cinema re - release . ( the tree of clogs is probably a simpler , better translation of the title ; the wood involved means the sole or lower part of the shoe , going a little over the toe . )
mothers and fathers of italian ancestry . italy , which took consecutive palmes back in the 1970s ( for padre , padrone and tree of the wooden clogs ) but only one since ( the son ' s room in 2001 ) , was back in force this year with two strong films , both of them fact - based melodramas about the deadly reach of organized crime .
i ' m going to find a tree to chop down .
that line , perhaps familiar from another film released by criterion , moonrise kingdom , also applies to this new release by the company , respected italian director ermanno olmi ' s 1978 palme d ' or winner , the tree of wooden clogs . like bill murray in the afore - referenced wes anderson fave , tree also features a despondent father with a literal ax to grind as part of its sprawling ensemble . except , olmi ' s makeshift lumberjack is no laughing matter . he dare not utter of his tree chopping . he has his reasons ; reasons which prove impactful and costly . olmi ' s the tree of wooden clogs is , like malick ' s the new world , one of those rare period films that has built its world so well , it ' s easy to . . .

written and directed by ermanno olmi , this is a fine example of italian neo - realist cinema . the tree of wooden clogs was taken from stories olmi ' s grandmother told him and is set in lombardy around the turn of the century . this 1978 film uses people from the area as actors , and is not only an attack on an outmoded social system but an almost mystical affirmation of the relationship of man to nature , for instance , the tree of the title is cut down by a father to make a pair of clogs for his son . there are ravishing depictions of the changing seasons in a stunning part of lombardy . this is a documentary that isn ' t a documentary .
critic dave kehr of the chicago reader calls the tree of the wooden clogs
less an advance over the standard film festival peasant epic than an unusually accomplished rendition of it ,
and speaks of a
marxist sentimentalism
inherent in its subject matter and approach . this seems to me misleading . olmi’s film may be best thought of , not as an attempted advance over the typically marxist neorealist peasant epic , but as a redemption of it .
living on a farm in the italian province of bergamo , a group of peasant families scratch out a living . advised that his son should be educated , batisti ( ornaghi ) sacrifices the help in the fields and sends him to school six miles away in a pair of wooden clogs .
these films offer an implicit critique of the working world that would come to the fore in the tree of wooden clogs . viewed today , the film is so gravely critical of the ruling class of landowners that it is hard to believe it was reviled by some critics at the time of its release as a defense of feudalism , a sort of catholic - populist vision idealizing resigned humility in the face of oppressive power . and it’s true that the family and the church are uncontested seats of moral values in tree . the film’s great and undeniable religious intensity was considered reactionary and mystifying by some left - wing critics , who accused olmi of being an enemy of modernity and an apologist for an unchanging natural world .
the lives of the peasant families in the tree of wooden clogs are hard , but also rich and full of joy . they are free of modern existential dilemmas regarding who they are and what they should do , and take pleasure in the most basic aspects of life : a warm fire , a good meal , the love of family and a close sense of community . rites of passage , like marriage and childbirth , loom large in their world , as do the rituals of catholicism , which are as much a part of daily life as breathing .
the beginings of the algerian revolution as seen through the eyes of a peasant .
the title comes from a small incident that has vast consequences , bringing to mind that old rhyme about how a kingdom was lost “all for the want of a horseshoe nail . ” in the tree of wooden clogs , the chain of events starts with the village priest telling a peasant family that their son minec ( omar brignoli , like most of the cast a non - professional from the bergamo region where the story is set ) is bright and should attend the village school . the father is reluctant because he was planning to put the boy to work ; the family has a new baby on the way . but the priest says it’s god’s will , so it’s off to school for little minec , who must walk the eight - mile round trip each day , through all kinds of weather , in his handmade wooden clogs .
but olmi has a tendency to grow too sentimental about those lives . the film ' s central image is of the peasant batisti cutting down the poplar tree to make the sandal for his child . as he sits in his kitchen shaping the clog shoe , organ music by bach plays on the soundtrack . and later the peasant family will be thrown off the land for stealing the tree .
in a world of absolutes and cruel consequences , if an entire family’s future is destroyed due to the cutting of a single tree , then that’s simply how things are .
two european classics are also heading for release in october . ermanno olmi ' s the tree of wooden clogs ( 1978 ) won the palme d ' or at cannes ; it ' s described as a neorealist look at italian farm life in the 19th century . dating from 1963 , meanwhile , the exectioner is described as
a darkly comedic and fiercely subversive political satire by luis garcía berlanga , regarded by filmmaker pedro almodóvar as ' the true father of spanish cinema . '
ermanno olmi , the italian director best known for winning the palme d’or at cannes in 1978 with his drama “ the tree of wooden clogs , ” has died at 86 . the director passed away in asiago , northern italy , not far from where he ran the ipotesi cinema film school since the 1980s ( via variety ) . olmi had reportedly been ill for some time , but the exact cause of death is not known at this time . olmi received his breakthrough with his 1961 drama “ il posto , ” an italian neorealism riff that made him a name at the venice film festival and won him the best director prize at italy’s david di donatello awards . “wooden clogs” took home the palme in 1978 , in addition to winning the césar award for best foreign film . olmi’s other notable work is “ the legend of the holy drinker , ” starring rutger hauer , which won the golden lion at the 1988 venice film festival .
ermanno olmi , the master italian neorealist director who received the palme d ' or from the cannes film festival in 1978 for the tree of wooden clogs , has died . he was 86 . olmi died saturday in asiago , italy , a hospital spokesperson told the hollywood reporter . no cause of death was given .
with ermanno olmi we lost a master of cinema and a great example of culture and of life . his enchanted gaze told us and made us understand the roots of our country ,
italian prime minister paolo gentiloni tweeted monday . olmi ' s body of work is revered within the film industry . his 1961 . . .
but it could be none of the above . or some of the below .
i can understand those reactions without sharing them . olmi is going for broke in this film - he obviously intended it to be great , to dare everything - and because we are in sympathy with him we want to say he succeeds . but
the tree of wooden clogs
demands a more complex response than that . if it is indeed very good , let ' s not dismiss it with routine humanist overpraise .
we grow devout in the presence of poverty , particularly when it is not our own . we find an ennobling dignity in the lives of poor people , especially if they lived long ago and far away and don ' t make any present demands on our time and money . there ' s a natural tendency toward overcompensation when we see a movie like ermanno olmi ' s
the tree of wooden clogs .
we say the movie is a masterpiece when we mean that it is about people we pity and respect .
in every crisis , she snatches a few minutes to pray for help , and it always comes . olmi would return to the theme of divine providence ten years later in another famous film , the legend of the holy drinker , starring rutger hauer as a devout but weak - willed vagabond in paris who seeks to repay his debt of 200 francs to saint thérèse of lisieux . this captivating fable , which won the golden lion in venice , has many of the same emotional contact points as the tree of wooden clogs : the anguish of poverty , the helplessness of outsiders and the oppressed , and the assurance that a benign force exists in the universe that will always come to the aid of those who have faith . the holy drinker is as much a beneficiary of this force as the widow runk and her neighbors , who recite the rosary together every evening after enjoying a good round of ghost stories .
the script , he has said , was in his head for some years and was largely composed of remembered incidents from his own childhood ; however , an overblown sequence such as the loss of pinard’s coin ( he hides it in a horse’s shoe ) , and the subsequent visit of the ‘sign woman’ to the distraught peasant , would have been better left in the recesses of memory . nevertheless , the film as a whole contains enough images ( and sustained sequences ) of tranquillity , harmony and dignity – the boat ride to milan , the communal storytelling in the stable , peppino’s affirmation that his mother will not be separated from her youngest children – for the tree of wooden clogs to stand , in these unoptimistic days , as a haunting testament to both the inevitability of temporal change and the persistence of the roman catholic faith .
italian drama written and directed by ermanno olmi . on a turn - of - the - century farm in italy , various families work for the farm owner and are paid according to their productivity . one particular family has a gifted young boy , who they decide to send to school rather than force into manual labour . however , with the child having to walk many miles to get to the nearest school , the family are forced to make him some wooden clogs made from tree branches while also risking the wrath of the strict farm owner . the cast includes luigi ornaghi , francesca moriggi , omar brignoli and antonio ferrari .
the brand of janus films means a hell of a lot in the art and repertory film world . be it their promotion of new releases like the stunning cameraperson or their support of touring film series like that devoted to charlie chaplin or the wim wenders road pictures , one sees the name janus films and the gorgeous logo and instantly an understanding of either the quality or the cultural import of what one is about to watch is instilled . and that’s what makes janus throwing support behind a seemingly forgotten film , an award winning picture that’s all but disappeared in the public eye , is so important . that’s exactly the case when talking about their latest repertory offering . a palme d’or winning epic , director ermanno olmi saw great success with his gorgeous and sprawling the tree of wooden clogs in 1978 , but as is the case with much
, is a prime example . originally made as a three - part television series , it is the very essence of
slice of life
filmmaking , focusing on a year in the lives of several peasant families working as tenant farmers in northern italy ' s rural lombardy region at the end of the 19th century . the title refers to a peasant father who chops a tree down to make clogs for his son so he can go to school , and the consequences of his actions . the film won the palme d ' or as best film at the cannes film festival - - one of the few winners to be selected unanimously by a festival jury .
as minec is leaving school one day , one of his clogs breaks . he tries tying it together with the rope that normally serves as his belt , but walking so far on a broken shoe is a terrible chore , and he ends up finishing the trip with one shoe off and one shoe on . this is clearly not a sustainable solution , and if he is to continue attending school , he must have a new pair of clogs . to get the wood to make them , his father batisti ( luigi ornaghi ) must cut down a tree .

although olmi’s films shine with the light of his strong christian faith , they are never sectarian and never exclude the nonreligious viewer from their luminous storytelling and fablelike powers of fascination . he has set out on a lifelong quest to find a deeper truth in humble , everyday characters and settings , a search strongly influenced by the humanist work of the neorealist masters roberto rossellini and vittorio de sica , who just preceded his arrival on the cinema scene . it is a search that has taken him on a very different path from that of his fellow directors . though he has walked down a few blind alleys in his over - sixty - year career , he has also authored some of italy’s most memorable films . among them , the tree of wooden clogs is widely considered his masterpiece .

the tree belongs to the landlord ( as he does nearly everything on the tenant farm where minec and his family live ) , and when he discovers the “theft” , the family is evicted . the last scenes show them loading a cart with their possessions , in the dim moonlight , while the other tenant families watch from behind closed their curtains . there’s no discussion and no explanation because these peasants live in a world of absolutes and cruel consequences , and if an entire family’s future is destroyed due to the cutting of a single tree , then that’s simply how things are .

the extras package for the tree of wooden clogs is skimpy by criterion standards . it includes a video introduction by mike leigh ( 7 min . ) , who not surprisingly is a big fan of the film ; a 1981 episode of the south bank show ( 52 min . ) in which host melvyn bragg and olmi discuss the film and visit the farm where it was shot ; two interviews with olmi , conducted in 1978 ( 7 min . ) and 2008 ( 32 min . ) ; a panel discussion with some cast and crew members held at the 2016 cinema ritrovato archival film festival ( 34 min . ) ; and the film’s trailer ( apparently unrestored , making a notable contrast with the beautiful 4k restoration of the film proper which appears on this disc ) . an illustrated liner insert includes an essay by film critic deborah young that reviews olmi’s career and places this film within the context of his , and other filmmakers’ , work .
and so viewers are asked to come to grips with life on different planes , the earthly , the divine , and the social . for while it’s true that the tenant farmers are a silent and uncomplaining lot , soldiering on through every difficulty with the lord’s help , the film opened with a revolution : for the first time , a peasant family was sending a son to school to become educated . this apparently small gesture set in motion an upheaval in the community that is quietly echoed throughout the tree of wooden clogs on a larger scale . olmi keeps this social drama offscreen , indicating it only through signs , like a column of smoke rising beyond the trees . but it is clear that the sharecroppers’ wretched poverty will soon force a major change in their way of life—and , in the heartbreaking cruelty of its final scene , this poignant swan song to an eden - like harmony between humans and nature makes us understand why it has to end .
the tree of wooden clogs comes to criterion blu - ray via a new 4k restoration created in collaboration with the film foundation at li’immagine ritrovata , supervised by ermanno olmi . there’s been a bit of chatter about the color palette here , which definitely runs cooler than past iterations of the film , with more emphasis on blues and greens than any warm tones . this fits in with a pattern familiar to contemporary collectors of post - ’60s color cinema , with many a blu - ray transfer taking a considerably cooler tone . based on screencaps , i don’t think the changes here look as good , but text at the beginning of the film reiterates olmi’s involvement in the restoration and specifically says he wanted the new color timing . beyond that concern , the transfer looks very good , with healthy grain , decent depth , and a great deal of detail . i didn’t notice any compression artifacts – always a concern with three - hour films that have to share a disc with supplements .
this is a lovely film about some very hard lives and times . the cast of non actors make for a high level of realism as do the setting and editing style . the families involved do indeed have hard lives of poverty and are completely in the power of the two authorities , the landowner and the church . yet their human qualities of cooperation , kindness and humour are apparent amongst the families . the actual slaughter of a goose and a pig , unedited , remind us of the realities from which we are protected today , of how gentle many of our lives have become . the ending brings home the inability of these families to oppose the power of the landowners . a wonderful and beautiful film .
the peasant learns his son has a broken clog ; in his desperation and poverty , the man illegally chops down a tree on the landlord’s estate to carve out a new one . for father and son , that clog is more tragic even than the bicycle for antonio and bruno in vittorio de sica’s bicycle thieves – at least they owned that machine , and could restore their rights of possession . the analogy is perhaps more the tree than the clog . it is a mere hunk of wood which the peasant needs , part of the land whose value the peasant has created , and the lack of which the landlord might not even notice . and it is not even for firewood , but as something to be transformed , with resourcefulness and craftsmanship , into the means to give his son a better life .
.
if anything , the show is about how the middle class clings to the success of the extremely , even repugnantly , rich , even in the face of its own increasing precariousness .
italian director ermanno olmi , known for humanist dramas in which he explored spirituality and social themes such as “ the tree of wooden clogs , ” which won the 1978 cannes palme d’or , has died . he was 87 . olmi died in a hospital in asiago , northern italy , not far from bassano del grappa where since the 1980’s he had been running an innovative film school called ipotesi cinema . his wife and children were beside him . the exact cause of death is not know , but olmi had reportedly been ill for some time . olmi , who began his career making short documentaries and often worked with non professional actors , also won the 1988 venice golden lion for his “ the legend of the holy drinker , ” starring rutger hauer . it’s based on a book by austrian author joseph roth about a homeless man living under the bridges of paris . after receiving a small loan by an anonymous stranger ,

around 50 of them were cast as the residents of a rundown 1898 ‘cascina’ ( farmhouse ) on the estate of an aloof landowner who is entitled to a sizeable share of their produce . their restrained performances owed much to the influence of robert flaherty , the neorealists , and georges rouquier ’s docu - dramatic study of the french peasantry , farrebique ( 1946 ) .

through the meticulous accumulation of such detail , olmi was able to recreate the natural rhythms , harsh realities and simple joys of the peasant world with an unsurpassed authenticity .
in the great pantheon of works whose points have been completely missed by legions of fans and imitators .
yet the drama that will eventually shake the small community to the core is seeded in the very first scene , when the catholic priest from town tells little minek’s father , batistì ( luigi ornaghi ) , that his son is bright and should attend school . though it’s four miles from the farm , minek ( played by the tiny , twinkling omar brignoli ) has good legs and can walk . still , it’s a major sacrifice for the family . batistì is visibly worried about the cost of losing a hand , especially with his wife pregnant with their third child , but bows to father carlo’s superior wisdom . a crisis arises when minek later breaks a sandal beyond repair , and his loving , resourceful father surreptitiously carves him a new pair of clogs out of wood from a tree that is not his own .
in addition to writing , producing , directing and editing the film , olmi also photographed it by “the light of the seasons” in a tele - friendly academy ratio . as one of cinema’s shrewdest observers , he keeps the camerawork as simple as the earthy colour scheme and often employs brueghelian long shots to locate the characters in the landscape to the accompaniment of johann sebastian bach .

this great theme which , together with a celebration of communal virtues , provides most of the film’s exact , fragmented , unsentimentalised subject matter , is so successfully and quietly handled by olmi simply because he has resisted , as one would expect , all temptations to glorify either the land or the people . the killing of a pig , the beheading of a goose , the shucking of maize , the cultivation of tomatoes are all seen as the essentially unremarkable means , though none the less interesting for that , by which man stays alive : and he stays alive to worship and accept the ways of his god .

in tree ’s final sequence , the story unexpectedly opens up to life outside the farm . in the world beyond , people are talking about demonstrations and clashes with the police , and how the police set fire to barns and villages in retaliation . these great social uprisings hover in the background of maddalena and stefano’s wedding trip to milan by riverboat . as soon as they arrive , marveling at the forest of buildings , they see italian soldiers riding through the streets on horseback , intent on violently repressing popular unrest . a ripple of fear empties the street , and for a moment we think the young couple will be trampled underfoot . but olmi leaves this future shock for another time , and uses the atmosphere of danger and uncertainty to lead into a startling confrontation with the divine .

an absolutely engrossing film . a wonderful slice of life in rural italy at the turn of the century . no great dramatics but a detailed examination of a year of peasant life . the characters , especially the young children are so endearing . a three hour film but never dull . no big name stars but each performance is so very real . a must see . the photography of northern italy is so very atmospheric . the plot emphasizes the extreme poverty of the people but also how well they treat one another and the limitations of living in the homes and the land of a well to do but uncaring landlord . the only parts that are difficult to watch are the slaughtering of livestock that was so much a part of life at the time . the program not only shows the extreme poverty of the farmers abut also their remarkable ingenuity in dealing with the trials that they face . the challenges faced are those relatively unknown to us , we who are so well off here in america . you can see from this film why so many individuals migrated from italy to america at that time . however , this film is in no way downbeat , the viewer revels in the persistence , good cheer and adaptability of these people .

but there’s nothing reactionary or apologetic about olmi’s resistance to both patronising nostalgia and populist revisionism in stressing the severity of the oppression the peasants have to endure and the depth of the consolation they derive from their faith . indeed , it’s difficult to see this as anything other than a work of profound humanist integrity .

the drama is set among the tough lives of lombardy peasants of the late 19th century and olmi uses non - professional locals to play the roles . the costumes , the language and locations are so utterly convincing and of their time , it is as if the film had somehow been made in 1898 . a priest tells a bewildered peasant couple that their son is a bright lad , that his intelligence is a gift from god and that , instead of helping with farm work , he must be allowed to go to school : : a tough six - kilometre walk there and back in clogs . the father takes this duty humbly and seriously , and it is to have tragic consequences . but the narrative payoff only happens as part of a huge episodic story ; its scenes , characters and situations spread across a huge canvas .
an italian professor seeks refuge in the quiet , peaceful ruins of an old building .
details the life of three peasant families in 19th century italy . evokes the time and place rather than telling a narrative .
yet the devastating final act , and the light it sheds on the meaning of the title , make it clear that olmi is as acutely aware as the most rabid socialist of the harsh economic and social injustices under which his peasants stoically suffer . the land they work belongs to a rich landlord who appears in the story only as a distant , pitiless figure who takes a whopping two - thirds of the harvest and whose dire justice is untempered by the slightest mercy or compassion . olmi’s film may be devoid of violent revolutionary spirit , but his stark refusal in any way to soften or mitigate the catastrophic consequences of a morally justifiable but socially unacceptable act make resignation an impossible response for the viewer , if not for the characters .
in the development of television ,
color wars
are analogous to the adoption of vhs over betamax and blu - ray over hd - dvd technologies . murray ' s study shows how the adoption of standards in media technology directly impact audiences to this day .
, olmi spent an entire year editing the film .
the editing is the moment when all the emotions i felt when i began to think about the film , to conceive it , to choose the locations , the faces - - all these things - - the editing is the moment when everything comes together ,
he told cardullo .
olmi has frequently focused on the dignity of labour , yet he was accused of sentimentalising poverty by critics who questioned his marxist catholic credentials . some mocked the edenic references and the miraculous recovery of widow runk’s cow , while others noted the protests that the newlyweds witness after their thrilling barge trip to milan ; they damned olmi for not having the peasants similarly rise up against injustice .
away from the mud and mists , however , the interiors have a spartan cosiness , as the neighbours end their back - breaking days with the rosary or a ghost story . as the characters become more familiar , olmi makes greater use of close - ups , which only makes the climactic detachment all the more harrowing .
on a northern italian farm in the late 19th century , a group of sharecroppers eke out a threadbare existence . a priest advises batisti ( luigi ornaghi ) and his wife , batistina ( francesca moriggi ) , that their young son , minec ( omar brignoli ) , should be formally educated , so they sacrifice his help in the fields and send him to school . when minec ' s wooden shoe breaks one day , batisti - - in an act of desperation - - puts the family ' s future at risk to replace the clog .
rmanno olmi is a director who has raised the moral bar for contemporary italian cinema . the sacredness of life , the dignity of work , and the human yearning for contact with god are themes that deeply color his work , but nowhere so movingly as in
. all conflicts had been resolved as the crowd cheered them , and they cheered their
teacher .

the style of this long , solidly acted film is no more than efficient . what sticks in the mind is the numbing information imparted : that the camorra is a gangster empire that earned 150 billion euros just last year ; that in addition to dealing in drugs and arms it invests in legitimate businesses around the world , including the reconstruction of the world trade center ; that in the past three decades the camorra has murdered more people than al qaeda . it is these statistics , rather than the movie ' s ordinary craft , that hold the real power and horror of gomorrah .

wright , pegg and frost seem to bring out the best in one another , as their past collaborations ( beginning with the 1999 tv show spaced ) have been praised for striking a great balance between laughs , sentiment and technical flair ; that their separate endeavors ( scott pilgrim vs . the world , paul ) are generally regarded as not having scaled quite the same heights as shaun and hot fuzz , is testament to that . as it were , world ' s end sounds like another potential home run for the trio .

the music to beverly hills chihuahua was written by composer heitor pereira , who recorded the score with the hollywood studio symphony at the eastwood scoring stage at warner bros .
a kid ' s film doesn ' t have to be an all time classic to be watchable - once anyway - for the whole audience . no one in beverly hills chihuahua seems to care enough to bother . and if they don ' t care , why should i ?
despite mixed reviews from critics , beverly hills chihuahua was a commercial success . the film grossed $ 29 , 300 , 465 on its opening weekend from 3 , 215 theaters , averaging about $ 9 , 114 per theater , and ranking number 1 at the box office for that weekend . on its second weekend , the film arrived number 1 again with $ 17 , 502 , 077 . beverly hills chihuahua grossed $ 94 , 514 , 402 domestically and $ 54 , 767 , 204 in other territories leading up to a total of $ 149 , 281 , 606 worldwide .
for most of beverly hills chihuahua , all i could think about was drew barrymore . what might she have been up to while she recited her lines for chloe , the spoiled yet sad - looking live - action chihuahua that speaks in her voice .

papi is back and ready to party with his two - - and four - - legged family as they move into a posh beverly hills hotel .
the good news : beverly hills chihuahua is not the apocalypse - signaling , cultural abomination its trailers make it out to be . the bad news : that ' s pretty much the best thing that can be said about it .
the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
beverly hills chihuahua isn ' t terrible . ok , it ' s kind of terrible , but it ' s a talking - dog movie , and anyone who goes to a talking - dog movie without being prepared to step in poop deserves to ruin his shoes .
if you liked
beverly hills chihuahua ,
you ' ll like this second sequel more than the first . it felt like the filmmakers just tried harder this time around , and that ' s something i appreciate . . . even in furry fluff like this .

papi and chloe are back ! it ' s been nearly two years after our four legged friends escaped the mean streets and perils of mexico . now we find everyone ' s favorite talking chihuahuas living in luxurious beverly hills happily married to each other and starting their new lives together as a family . but when their humans are struggling to pay the house mortgage , papi , chloe , their puppies and their friends will stop at nothing to save their home and get in touch with their inner warriors . but their new adventure is blocked by a series of hazards , both humans and canines .
chloe , a diamond - clad , bootie wearing beverly hills chihuahua enjoys her luxurious lifestyle so much , she hardly notices papi , a hilarious chihuahua who happens to be crazy for chloe . but when the most pampered pooch gets lost in mexico with only a street - wise german shepherd to help her find her way home , papi heads south of the border - - joining forces with a motley crew : three dogs , two humans , a sly rat and a nervous iguana - - to rescue his true love .
spanky , alfalfa , buckwheat , and the rest of the little rascals are getting another feature film treatment . universal pictures is planning another film , and they ' ve hired alex zamm to direct it . does the world really need another little rascals movie ? no . but it ' s happening . did any of you like the 1994 little rascals big screen adaptation ? i thought it was terrible . for those of you not even familiar with this franchise , it ' s based on a cinematic series called our gang , which aired during late 1930s and ‘40s . it was adapted for television in the ' 50s . i will say if that make this reboot a period piece that takes place in the ' 30s that might be interesting , but chances are they ' ll just give it a modern update for audiences like they did in ' 94 . as for the director , zamm , there ' s a reason you ' ve never heard of him , he ' s made films such as .
this volume 2 is equally as enjoyable as the first movie . george lopez lends his voice to these movies and brings a lot of his great humor . i purchased all 3 of this series from amazon , at great pricing . my grandchildren ( ages 4 , 5 , 6 , & 8 ) will actually sit down and enjoy this movie . giving grandma a little quiet time . it arrived earlier than promised well packaged . great family movie , plenty of fun and excitement for all .
“a lifetime” is a new film launched this week by animal defenders international ( adi ) about the brutal short lives of two foxes , brothers borys and eryk , born and killed on a polish fur farm . adi placed hidden cameras on the farm to capture this rare insight into an industry that kills more than 100 million animals a year . watch the film here . joanna lumley and brian blessed are backing adi’s campaign to end the fur trade . animal defenders international president jan creamer said : “over 100 million animals die for their fur every year . our film shows the lives of these intelligent , feeling individuals and the cruelty they suffer when treated like a product . just because they are not like us . playful fox cubs borys and eryk , grow up in a small cage and die a terrifying and painful death for vanity and trinkets . this is the real cost of fur – when you buy fur ,
while the credits roll , papi lets us know that delgado captured el diablo and got a medal . el diablo was then adopted by a rich lady , who likes to dress up her pets . rafa is a spokesmutt for a doggie - toothpaste . chloe ' s rich doggie friends have their own reality dance show . manuel and chico are in beverly hills . papi and chloe have quite a litter .
a moment of silence , please , for alex zamm ’s marvin the martian and hong kong phooey movies . the beverly hills chihuahua 2 director was attached to helm cgi - live action hybrid adaptations of both properties ; mike myers was rumored to star in the former , while eddie murphy was attached to star in the latter . now , though , it’s looking increasingly like neither one will ever be completed . marvin was originally supposed to hit theaters in december of 2011 . hong kong , meanwhile , hasn’t seemed to make much progress since murphy’s deal was announced 16 months ago . and now that zamm has posted
meanwhile , in beverly hills , papi comes back , looking for chloe , but can ' t find her . he runs inside the house and finds rachel ' s friend , angela , looking through some pictures . sam comes in and busts angela with the pictures . she comes clean about chloe ' s disappearance . she needs to email chloe ' s picture to rachel in mexico city . papi is shocked at the news .

they reach viv ' s beverly hills mansion . viv is expected back anytime soon . just as rachel and chloe run inside , viv ' s car pulls up . sam tries to stall her , but she really wants to see chloe . rachel runs downstairs and hugs viv . just then , chloe also comes downstairs , looking and dressed like nothing happened . while chloe and papi sit in the gazebo , rachel asks sam out . the movie ends with chloe licking papi ' s face .
the short story goes . . . in august 2011 , eddie murphy teamed up with director alex zamm ( tooth fairy 2 , beverly hills chihuahua 2 ) to make a live - action version of the classic cartoon hong kong phooey . we must have missed the announcement of the project , because , i checked the s & a archives and didn ' t find any posts on it . over a year later , the movie obviously hasn ' t happened ; will it ? i dunno . i don ' t think i particularly care either , especially if the video below is anything to go by . all that ' s left of the project is some test footage that was shot for it , and that has surfaced . apparently zamm released the footage online , via his vimeo . . .
the academy awards may be off - limits to canine superstar uggie - with a spokesperson for the weinstein company revealing earlier today that
uggie has not been asked to participate or appear at the oscars
- but that didn ' t stop the pooch from stealing the show at the inaugural golden collar awards at a ceremony in los angeles , california on monday evening . devised by dognewsdaily in order to ' recognise canine excellence in hollywood films ' , the golden collar awards saw uggie receive two nominations for best dog in a theatrical film for his work in the artist and water for elephants , taking home the gong for the former and adding to a growing list of accolades for the acclaimed silent feature that includes the prestigious palm dog at the cannes film festival , not to mention a few others for its human cast and crew . other stars attending the ceremony included the artist
a sequel to the greatest christmas film of all time is finally being made , without its original star . it ' s turbo time again . but not the turbo time you remember . that turbo time is gone forever , like a a fart from ted the reindeer in the winter wind . admit it : jingle all the way is a guilty pleasure that is best consumed in secret every holiday , like cheap boxed wine . even now , the classic lines from that film are running through your head with a bad austrian accent tied to it . if you felt a great disturbance in the force today , it was because millions of jingle all the way fans screamed out in terror , and were suddenly silenced . it came as news broke that twentieth century fox and wwe studios ( yeah , there ' s a movie studio for a fake sport ) were teaming up on a jingle all the way sequel . it
my family enjoyed the first in this
series
, but this one fell far short of the first . the acting is poorly done , the type one envisions in soap operas ( i don ' t watch them , which is why i say envisions ) . there is the now too usual disney stpudity of things like the

jake and the neverland pirates : battle for the book is one of the more intriguing efforts from the children’s show . it’s a solid enough disney vehicle in general , and one that the kids love , but the story here incorporates wendy , john , and michael in a new adventure that is not only a nice homage to the original story / film , but also plays with the animation in a way that is admittedly lost on the target audience , but is a lot of fun . hook learns about wendy’s book of stories , from which she reads to her brothers about all of hook’s failures , and he decides he had better steal it to keep the stories from spreading . it turns out there’s something magical about the book of stories , and the general connection to neverland , and if the book gets destroyed , everyone will forget everything that happened . having

chloe and delgado prepare to leave chihuahua . monte says goodbye . chloe seems to miss papi . they go into a restaurant and see a sign with chloe ' s picture . chloe realizes rachel ' s looking for her . they bark and get the attention of two cops , who recognize chloe from her picture . sam and rachel give rafa to the old widow . just then , sam tells rachel that ramirez called saying that ' s chloe ' s found . they go to the police station where chloe and delgado are . a cop is taking chloe behind the bushes at the moment . vasquez and rafferty arrive in their van . papi , in the car , notices vasquez and gets chloe ' s scent from the van . he jumps out of the car , and heads to where the van is parked . manuel and chico look for the collar .

homeward bound : the incredible journey was probably one of the best animal movie around , and everything that that movie was , this movie isn ' t . it isn ' t spectacular , it isn ' t breathtaking , it isn ' t adventurous , it isn ' t funny , it just goes to show how low disney will sink to earn money from your children . take it from me , i ' m only 15 years old , and even i was holding my forehead with my hand and shaking my head , wondering :
why ? ? . . . why ? !
it might be good for preschoolers who laugh at stupid jokes , but my goodness , i ' d be surprised if this even makes 2 stars on the official ratings list . to put it all together , i not only want my money back , but i am going to torch this ticket in my fireplace tonight and forget all about it . @ _ @

gosnell gracelessly walks us through cheap , generic talking dog material , while parents everywhere groan silently to themselves .
it ' s hugely silly , but peppy enough to be tolerable . what grates most are the patronising racial stereotypes : the dirty mexican dogs are just waiting to be rescued by la ladies and given a good bath .
younger audiences will adore this canine caper , though grown - ups might feel its one joke is stretched too far .

she walks around town , looking for rachel . she finds her at a party , but is suddenly abducted by a dognapper , who puts her in his van along with other dogs . returning home , rachel freaks out when she discovers that chloe ' s missing . the next day , she goes to look in an animal shelter . the lady there tells her that some dogs are stolen to participate in dogfights , which take place in mexico city . she tells her friends that she plans to look around more in town and then maybe head to mexico city .

according to imdb , woody woodpecker is coming to theaters in 2017 in his first ever movie . which is odd , since we ' ve heard little to nothing at all about it . today , we have a look at the annoying bird courtesy of imp awards . this one - sheet is for international audiences , which has us wondering if this is even going to get a proper release on america shores . the woody woodpecker movie is taking on an environmentally conscious theme , and will tackle social issues with a deft hand at the comedy fans have come to know and love . the plot finds the hyperactive red - head entering a turf war with a big city lawyer who wants to tear down his home . this is all in an effort to build a house to flip . from the poster , we ' d assume that this is a fully animated cgi movie . but we ' d be wrong , as it ' s listed as being
