moore was a spirited off - screen presence in
tangled ,
but her charms as an actress are strained here , and the film only adds more ballast to a résumé already groaning under dead weight such as
because i said so
and
license to wed .
as for myself , i will confess that the only thing that kept me watching “license to wed” until the end ( apart from being paid to do so ) was the faith , perhaps misplaced , that i will not see a worse movie this year . come to think of it , the picture might be useful in certain circumstances , much in the way that reverend frank’s training program is supposed to be . if the beloved with whom you see “license to wed” can’t stop talking about how great it was , you might want to cancel the nuptials . or , if it’s too late for that , call a lawyer .

having hit theaters tuesday ( july 3 ) , we ' ll now be able to decide if it ' s any good , but this much we already knew : it ' s one of the more intriguing studio films to pop up in the hotly contested hollywood summer of 2007 .

with the divorce rate being what it is today , it only makes sense that people should have to go through some sort of rigorous testing process before being given the okay to get married . if you have to work together to get to the finish line , there ' s quite a bit invested in staying in it for the long haul . such is the premise behind license to wed .
the terribleness of “license to wed” is not really mr . williams’s fault , in any case . a job is a job . but it is sometimes hard to tell whether reverend frank is meant to be one of his creepy , villainous performances ( as in “one hour photo” or “insomnia” ) or to belong in his much larger gallery of twinkly , warmhearted menschen .

moore and krasinski don ' t have much to do besides watch williams riff . they ' re charming actors , so the romance is believable enough , but license to wed is basically a fluffy piece of robin williams cake . if you enjoy his flavor of comedy , this is an amusing , light flick . but if you ' re sick of his manic antics , don ' t bother to rsvp .
judging by the way she ' s talking these days , if wedding - preparation classes do soar with

mandy might want to go ahead and reserve herself a desk .

in the last week before the wedding , it’s useful to make yourself a to - do list so that you don’t awaken at 4 a . m . one morning with the terrible realization that you’ve forgotten something critical like getting the license . some typical items for the list include :
if you take spiritual matters at all seriously , then you have to wonder why in the world any minister would mock multiple forms of prayer—especially at the very moment when someone needs his help , and all because of an injury inflicted by the minister himself . of course , perhaps i take this too seriously . perhaps we are supposed to forget that reverend frank is an actual character , and perhaps we are supposed to look at this entire movie as an extension of williams ' s manic stand - up shtick . but even if that were the case , license to wed still isn ' t very funny .
you don’t have to be an angry atheist to hate this movie . but it helps .
this is all really extremely creepy , and reverend frank would be the villain in any decent version of this tale . but he’s not : he’s the hero , and he’s the one we’re supposed to laugh with , and via his perspective , laugh at sadie and ben : ha , ha , look at the idiot kids who don’t know nuthin’ ’bout marriage ! the most repulsively conservative thing about license to wed is that all of reverend frank’s nauseating , pervy antics turn out to be entirely justified in the end , and even ben , who appears to have no religion at all that we can see , is completely suckered in by him .
reverend frank is determined to put the couple through a very difficult series of tests before he will put the rubber stamp on their marriage license . they ' ll have to endure ridiculous classes , bizarre homework assignments and even out - and - out invasions of their privacy . the only question is whether they ' ll be able to stay together long enough to make the trip down the altar .

it all sounds pretty insane . robin williams ' character really puts us through the ringer .
talk with parents . while it is not considered quite right to ask parents directly for financial help , it’s acceptable and practical to ask what sort of participation they want to have . and , while you shouldn’t sell honors like escorting the bride , you can certainly negotiate what kind of help is most useful once an offer to help is made .

surely not . it is only the latest attempt by a hollywood studio to pander to prurience and piety in a single gesture , and to avoid giving offense by treating all possible factions of the public equally , which is to say like idiots . ben , quite reasonably objecting to reverend frank’s intrusiveness , is portrayed as selfish and clueless , while sadie’s cheerful acceptance of the minister’s wisdom is evidence of her own . and frank is wrecking their happiness only for their own good , pretending ( one guesses ) to be a vile caricature conjured from a cesspool of atheist calumny in order to steer his lambs onto the path of righteousness and decency .
i find it fascinating that simply asking someone to justify his own unsupported — and unsupportable — statement somehow qualifies as “beating someone into submission” and subjecting said person to a “cross examination . ”

as ben lies on the ground with the dog on top of him , the dog licks his face and sneezes on him . the dog was placed on top of the actor , and an offscreen trainer held up a toy to get the dog to look in various directions . the dog was then cued to lick the actor’s face . the dog was removed and baby food was placed all over the actor’s face to simulate the results of the dog’s sneeze .
when ben climbs in the window of reverend frank ' s house the window changes from one with a smaller piece of glass and a large frame to one with a larger piece of glass and the frame holding the glass is smaller . also the size of the window seems to change to a bigger window overall when you see ben coming through .

thanks for the great job you do in posting movie and television reviews online . i’m a college freshman and i recently had a confrontational disagreement with my english professor regarding an r - rated film . it is her favorite movie and she wanted to show it in class . i went to your web site to research the film’s content . although i had not seen the movie myself , i was able to make an educated argument against it based on the concerns you outlined . the prof said that she was impressed by my stand and decided to poll the whole class and give us a choice . we overwhelmingly voted to watch a g - rated movie instead ! i’ve learned that i can trust your site and i will be using it a lot in the future . ”
the two most important people on your wedding day are the bride and groom . but this should be balanced by also thinking about the celebration that will please the hosts ( if either set of parents is inclined to whip out a charge card and offer to pay ) and your the guests . so planning starts by talking about what it might be practical , appropriate , and fun to do .

what it takes is for reverend frank , as he is known , to harass , browbeat and humiliate the intendeds ( ben in particular ) for three weeks , until they are ready to call it quits . only if they can survive his brutal training course in matrimony — which starts with a bloody nose for the would - be groom and includes a hidden microphone in the bedroom and twin robot babies programmed to throw tantrums and soil diapers — will poor sadie and ben have what it takes to persevere till death do they part .

but i’m afraid you have not at all explained how i brought my atheistic bias to my review . you explained that you think it’s wrong for me to bring a bias , but you have not explained how that bias is present in the review . what , specifically , in my review , would have led you to believe i was an atheist if you hadn’t learned that i was in the comments afterward ?
so what does license do ? it rushes them toward the altar , but not before putting them through a retro gauntlet of busybodyish interference by a startlingly villainous man of the cloth . sadie hasn’t been to her bestest , most favoritest , it’s - the - family - tradition church , saint augustine’s , in just about forever , but she simply must have her wedding there . and the only available slot for a wedding is in two years… or three weeks . so three weeks it is . but there’s a catch : no one gets married at saint augustine’s without first completing reverend frank’s patented pre - wedding prep course ( he’s got his own web site and everything ! ) . sadie agrees instantly . ben , being merely the groom , has no say in the matter .

a few weeks ago i got to participate in the press day for the film with all the actors and the director – ken kwapis .
oh dear . now , i know mandy moore can do better than this ! seriously , i nearly switched it off ten minutes in . poor acting , dull story . kind of picked up enough to keep me watching , but was a fairly flat experience . didn ' t get to the end and think , wow glad i watched it . i can see how this one went straight to dvd without being heard of . if you like silly chick flicks , you might want to check it out . otherwise , i would recommend the far better
because i said so
or even
a walk to remember
if you want to see mandy in a good movie . i guess on the plus , she and kellan lutz make a nice pair here , and there ' s a small part by alyson hannigan as one of the couples who attend her marriage counselling . alyson is always funny , but yeah , not enough to recommend the whole movie based on that . i guess kind of has a nice message about making a marriage work ( i am trying to be positive here ! ) .

each panel discussion includes panelists from a variety of backgrounds in order to create nuanced and balanced conversation . coastal restoration and economic development require people from all kinds of professional backgrounds to work together , so presenting and incorporating as many of these viewpoints as possible in this summit is important .

went from barely making the top 30 to nearly hitting the top five after adding $ 6 . 89 million on 1628 screens in 19 markets . the film now has a total of $ 25 . 54 million internationally while its worldwide total hit $ 173 . 34 million . to put this into perspective ,
i’ll accept this when people start saying that it is unprofessional to bring ridiculous religious aspects into a movie . like the disgusting priest robin williams portrays here .

here comes the ride . an ok movie to watch if your a fan of mandy moore or kellan lutz ( twilight hunk ) . the story is barely there , it ' s nice and all but lacks of acting . no one in this film acted even good , it was just decent . this was suppose to be a comedy and turn out to me as a drama . watch it if you want , the risk is all yours . a newlywed marriage counselor fights to save her mother and father ' s crumbling union in this romantic comedy from director dermot mulroney . the more energy ava ( mandy moore ) devotes to keeping her parents together , though , the further she drifts away from her new husband ( kellan lutz ) . james brolin and jane seymour co - star .
sends the message that if you truly want to marry someone , you ' ll overcome all your differences ( and skip premarital counseling with a crazy minister ) . reverend frank is a very unorthodox ( and intrusive ) man of the cloth , going so far as to conduct illegal surveillance on the couples in his class .
to be honest , this is my first big movie , so i was terrified every day ,
the lanky , 27 - year - old actor said .
it’s just starting . i will say that drew is in it , but she’s also a producer and we’re just starting to film it and fill in the cast .
it ' s exactly what it looks like from the commercials - - a one - joke movie , and that one joke isn ' t even funny to begin with .
“before hotels in seychelles were designing just for the sake of it , but now attention is being laid on sophistication and local décor to please the most discerning guest . ”
the course ' s loopy group tests are predictable but funny , particularly those featuring a buffoonish groom - to - be played by fellow office worker brian baumgartner . but its ludicrous that any respectable clergyman would become a crazy voyeur before every wedding ceremony or that a bride would demand to stay in such an invasive course - - one that actually involves
creepy robot babies
that emit fake bodily fluids - - just to get married in her home church . but this isn ' t a comedy that thrives on realism .
honestly , is the williams character a villain even in the end ? the trailer hints to him gently not giving up on the couple for not passing his crazy ass course .

this is the part a surprising number of couples leave to the last minute ! start thinking about the ceremony as early as possible , making sure that you know about any religious requirements .
here is a clergyman ( frank’s high - churchy denomination is not specified , maybe for fear of protests ) whose only companion , day and night , seems to be a prepubescent boy . ( “reverend frank is everywhere , ” the youngster marvels . ick . ) the good pastor seems a bit too eager to ask “our little stacy” what she likes to do in bed . he also launches into a mini - tirade at one point about sadie’s supposed “liberal college” and “bisexual roommate . ” surely this film is a scabrous , cynical satire of religious authority run amok .

the thin yellow line is the journey of five men who are hired to paint the median line of a road that connects two villages in mexico . on board of an old truck , they do the job : more than 200 kilometers that they have to complete in less than fifteen days under a burning sun . five solitary men that will acknowledge that there is a thin line between right and wrong ; between laughter and crying ; between life and death .
after its montreal premiere and rome official selection slot , this small , heartwarming number could paint a thin line beyond its mexican homeland , aided perhaps by guillermo del toro’s involvement as one of three producers . however , the predictability of the story and gentle dramatic pacing will probably confine the thin yellow line to arthouse runs in spanish - speaking territories , plus perhaps a minor small - screen afterlife .

five financially strapped men are hired to paint the center stripe along 120 miles of mexican state highway in “the thin yellow line , ” an appealing dramedy from debuting feature helmer - writer celso garcia . the good - looking , movingly thesped , bittersweet tale will strike some as too reminiscent of icelandic helmer hafsteinn gunnar sigurdsson’s road crew pic “either way” [ … ]
setting out with four novices and a rolling spray - paint machine , the men start the job of laying down a dashed yellow line on a 217 - kilometer stretch between two small towns . while on the road , a spectrum of hardships and triumphs will force the unlikely team of misfits to unexpectedly bond .
as a rookie filmmaker , garcia sometimes falls into predictability in his situations , and a psychology that can sometimes seem a little too pat . but his skill at evoking the lives of poor people , their humor and self - respect , along with an excellent visual sense for the desolate yet beautiful landscape , makes up for any flaws . the thin yellow line is an authentic and down - to - earth portrait of working people .
five financially strapped men are hired to paint the center stripe along 120 miles of mexican state highway in “ the thin yellow line , ” an appealing dramedy from debuting feature helmer - writer celso garcia . the good - looking , movingly thesped , bittersweet tale will strike some as too reminiscent of icelandic helmer hafsteinn gunnar sigurdsson’s road crew pic “either way” and its u . s . remake “prince avalanche , ” but garcia’s underlying theme of economic crisis makes his pic far more poignant . although it may seem overly familiar to arthouse buyers , there’s no denying it is a crowdpleaser . after its world preem at the guadalajara fest , “yellow line” nabbed the audience award and several other kudos , and montreal’s public voted it best latin american film .
garcia , who participated in screenwriter labs at cannes and sundance , started developing his script in 2010 so any resemblance to sigurdsson’s work is purely coincidental . his tight screenplay mirrors both the road and life itself , with straight lines , curves and potholes . as in the best road movies , the journey of the workers changes their way of seeing and understanding life . for them and us , the line they paint comes to symbolize the thin line between right and wrong , laughter and tears , and life and death .
the thin yellow line opens with a melancholy older man named toñio getting laid off from his job as a watchman at a junkyard . to misfortune is added the indignity of being replaced by a dog . toñio then travels around in his chevy truck looking for work . the economy is bad everywhere . finally he manages to get a job pumping gas , but the boss has a habit of being late with the paycheck . at night , sad and reflective , toñio looks through a little box of photos and clippings . we find that at one time , he had a wife and a son , but what happened we don’t know .
a road movie in the most literal sense of the label , celso garcia ' s the thin yellow line follows the efforts of a handful of workers to finish painting a long stretch of mexican road before a rainy season makes their work impossible . as straightforward in its action as in its conceit , the film hits very familiar beats but does so in unusually credible fashion , thanks in part to the moral gravity of taciturn leading man damian alcazar , as a washed - up loner for whom even this menial job represents a chance at dignity . modest but affecting , the pic will play very well with spanish - language auds stateside ; though not unusual enough to draw much attention from anglophone art house patrons , the film ' s reach is enhanced by the presence of guillermo del toro in one of the producers ' chairs .
toño ( damián alcázar , magallanes ) lives an aimless life drifting from one job to the next , but when his gig as a junkyard night watchman quite literally goes to the dogs , he’s really up against it . a chance encounter with a former boss brings a ray of hope : two weeks in charge of a road crew painting the yellow center stripe down 120 miles of harsh desert highway . his team of rookies includes an ex - con , an almost - blind truck driver , a circus stagehand and a rebellious teen , but mile by mile , line by line , the gig becomes an unexpectedly life - changing journey for each of them .
the scene in which the banana guards step forward and claim to be banana guard 16 is a reference to the scene from the 1960 stanley kubrick film spartacus .
it was a waste of time , the movie sucks . bad acting , weak story , boring . for the every day movie watcher this will be a boring movie . the story about a group of guys painting a line has no point , there is nothing interesting about it . i expected to see something good but that never happened . very disappointed .
there is a flyer for lsp ' s play summer showers from the titular episode in the alley where the graffiti is .
shot with the delicate precision of a nature documentary , the film plays engagingly on its title and thematic guide by picking out splashes of yellow in gorse , bulldozers and sunsets , while dan zlotnik’s brass - dominated soundtrack marches at the slow pace of the hand - operated road - painting machine , keeping sentiment at arm’s length . not everything works : a romantic interlude in a remote hacienda never rises above the level of cliché , and the dramatic finale is a little too hurried to deliver the emotional closure the script is chasing . but it’s easy to forgive these mis - hits in such a likeable elegy for a time when real jobs existed , and there were lines in the middle of the road against the chaos .
a shadowy silhouette appears from the corner and whispers
i love you
to jake , freaking him out . jake runs after it , but loses sight and asks a banana guard if he saw something . the guard just says himself and the door to the showers are the only thing there . jake enters the shower , while the guard smiles and the shadowy figure creeps out from behind the guard .
he is to go out with four novices and a rolling spray - paint machine to lay down a dashed yellow line for a 217 - kilometer stretch between two small towns . a tedious job ( and , with the rainy season due soon , one with a time crunch built in ) , but antonio takes it very seriously :
your flag is our life ,
he warns the men who will stand a few yards away from the paint machine to wave down cars . but whereas this seriousness doesn ' t keep him from being a good boss ( he shares the work and reward equally ) , antonio is strangely short of temper when it comes to 20 year - old pablo ( americo hollander ) , a distracted but generous - hearted kid who doesn ' t deserve the grief .
the film has been recognized with 14 nominations in the upcoming ariel awards , presented by the mexican academy of motion picture arts and sciences .

in the shower room , jake hears someone singing . jake enjoys it and asks who ' s singing and says that he likes it . the source of the song turns off the shower then rushes out of the shower room with incredible speed . jake chases after him but loses sight , as the previous guard runs into the shower with the shadowy figure and whispers
i love you
again before closing the door . the horse is heard again when jake order the guard out of the shower room . jake freaks out and assumes there is some huge conspiracy afoot .
the slow - burn bonding of a band of hard - up misfits who have been assigned the task of painting the centre line on a 220km - long stretch of rural mexican road makes for an old - fashioned bittersweet buddy trip in celso garcia’s debut feature . moments of melancholic truth , drama and comedy are coaxed out of the contrast between ordinary people and a big landscape , and working - class male emotional reticence drives a plot that dips lightly into a series of slowly revealed backstories .
even before we realise that toño has his own wayward son issues , the potential for father - figure bonding is obvious , like much in a film that uses campfire stories and the metaphor of a life - saving line in the road to tell a tale of lonely men thawing into camaraderie that we’ve seen so often before . but there’s a real satisfaction in the reliable solidity of garcia’s film , which backs up its nostalgic , mexican western glow of nostalgia for simpler times with a firm commitment to the dignity of men who have been cast aside by families , personal failures or the economic downturn .
the road through the harshly beautiful desert landscape becomes an equally important element of the tale . from the oversized bull sign that offers them some relief from the scorching hot sun to the rundown hacienda where they shelter from a storm and receive a welcome meal and a place to bed down , to the sweetly singing religious procession that magically emerges out of the dusk , the road provides some bounty . but it is also a source of danger ; of flash floods and drivers who don’t respect the crew’s flagmen .
in an episode dedicated to the show within the show , “glow” illustrates its grand capacity for storytelling , and the very good tv podcast breaks down how .
an honest portrait of five women who go through the night looking for other possibilities of beauty , while discovering the passing of time , lost youth , the mirage that is fame and the chance for happiness .
he gets a break when an engineer from a former construction job stops for gas and recognizes him . eventually the man offers him a job : to paint the yellow lines on a long country highway for 210 kilometers , about 130 miles , and to finish in 15 days , before the rainy season starts . the engineer gathers a motley crew for toñio to supervise : an out - of work truck driver , a former circus handyman , an ex - con , and a sullen teenager . they are walking through the desert of san luis potosi in east central mexico , most of the time in the full sun , performing a dull and repetitive task that wears down their minds as the heat wears down their bodies . and although two of them wave warning flags at each end of the procession , the few passing vehicles often go by at top speed , posing considerable danger .
princess bubblegum allowing the banana guards to express themselves rather than re - write their brains for absolute conformity is a sign that she changed greatly during the time king of ooo was the illegitimate ruler of the candy kingdom .
following several weeks of screenings and voting , this morning the mexican academy of cinematographic arts and sciences announced that the film “ 600 miles ” ( 600 millas ) will represent mexico in the best foreign language film category at the 88th academy awards . the selection was made from a list of 14 tittles that included
the actress and director both love the genre , but as they told indiewire , they also knew it needed to be retrofitted to tell the true story of catherine weldon and sitting bull .
the episode starts off with finn and jake walking in the dead of night in the candy kingdom after a get together . jake is upset over a game they played called
pilgrims of the land ,
as well as people not eating his homemade guacamole . finn remarks that he is probably upset because peppermint butler kept beating him , and then tries to comfort him by expressing his love for jake ' s guacamole . as the two continue walking through the city , they begin to notice graffiti painted on the buildings . jake thinks the art is beautiful while finn expresses concern that the art is disrespectful . as finn touches the art he notices that it is still wet , and then the two hear noises from around the corner . they discover that the painter is a banana guard , but when they try to confront him he runs into the guard barracks and they lose track of him .
the director and dp emiliano villanueva are appreciative of the hard , often desolate landscape this road winds through , and paired with dan zlotnick ' s not - quite - sentimental score , the movie ' s sense of place convinces thoroughly . it ' s the perfect setting for antonio , who long ago had stopped looking for anything good in life , to achieve the kind of small satisfaction that might nudge him back into the company of the living .
during the scene where banana guard 16 shows finn the room where he does all of his art , it shows a certain piece of art that highly resembles uboa from the game

finn doodles a crude dog - like cartoon character with a crown on the report . another guard notices and suggests to finn that he should shade it better , make sure the light source is obvious to the viewer . finn does so and the dog / wolf with a crown is now significantly more realistic and well sketched . finn suspects that this guard might be the culprit and tries to pry more info from him , asking if he has any of his own work to show him to draw inspiration off of . the guard says his name is banana guard # 16 . the guard asks finn to follow him . he leads finn to a vent which ends up leading to a cavernous area full of paintings of pb , lemon grab , the gumball guardians , and various other characters on the wall done by banana guard # 16 . finn embarrasses him by revealing to know about the paintings outside in the candy kingdom and suggests he put it up in a gallery . # 16 is horrified by the idea since it would mean pb would take him apart and dissect him in order to find out why this guard deviates away from the rest of the guards . the guards are under the notion that pb is a warlord of sorts who turned the first candy peoples into horrible monsters and imprisoned neddy against his will when they rebelled . finn assures # 16 that pb is nice , but # 16 is still uneasy . jake enters , tackling the guard and telling finn that they can now turn him into the princess .

naturally , the five men get to know each other well , and there are conflicts . at times there are breaks in the work , for instance when they go to town for supplies and end up at a little carnival , or when they ask for shelter at a hacienda during a rainstorm . in these scenes we learn the back story of each character . these are ordinary , decent men , with wounds from the past that have brought them to this point in their lives . the film creates a special dramatic tension between toñio and the rebellious teen pablo—the older man’s strict demeanor towards the boy reflecting a secret grief .
five men are hired to paint the lines of a road . painting 1 km / hour is slow enough to learn the lines between good and evil , laughter and despair , life and death . the challenges they face will change their lives forever .

when they go to meet the banana guards at night , finn and jake ' s mouths don ' t move as they talk before the spotlights are turned on them .
five men try to paint over 200 kilometers of road before the rainy season starts .
mirrors both the road and life itself , with straight lines , curves and potholes .
according to banana guard 16 , in the past princess bubblegum abused her power on the candy people , essentially being a cold - hearted dictator hiding behind the façade of a benevolent princess . this is further proven by her admitting she has done things in the past that she is not proud of . although some of the recollections from banana guard 16 ' s story aren ' t true , possibly due to general fear of his creator .

eventually , the rookies learn the work and as they share more of their backstories , they develop a genuine admiration for each other’s skills , wisdom and judgment . garcia illustrates this beautifully in a scene where a rattlesnake glides over mario’s legs and atayde comes to the rescue .
but for no - nonsense loner antonio , the responsibility for the crew — and the job — weighs heavily , especially because of an incident in his past . moreover , he finds himself frequently locking horns with young pablo , who continues to challenge his authority and advice .
the banana guard rumors of pb are technically true , though overly embellished to the point of being innacurate . the first candy people ( uncle gumbald , cousin chicle , and aunt lolly ) did rebel against her , as shown in
bonnibel
, to which she transformed them into
monsters
, the low - intelligence candy people . her brother , neddy , is underneath the candy kingdom , though not as a prisoner , but by choice . and the rattleballs were , in fact , destroyed en masse for being too violent . [ 4 ]
two banana guards deliver finn and jake , still in disguise to princess bubblegum . she sends them off as she tells finn and jake to be more subtle . jake thinks that the guards will be onto them since they know their faces . pb introduces them as new recruits to the guards posted outside and they let them right in . this time , they split up to look for clues , going around offices and different halls to investigate . jake heads down a hallway and hears a horse neighing . he enters the office he heard it from to see a banana guard closing a drawer . the guard says he heard nothing . jake turns away for a second and hears the horse again , and when he turns around he sees the guard closing a file cabinet , who still denies a horse being in the office . he sits down and asks the disguised jake to leave . jake exits and hears the horse again as the door closes behind him .
he currently reviews films for flicks , a weekly program on tucson ' s community radio station kxci , and makes regular appearances with essays about films and the topics that surround them for arizona spotlight , and is a regular contributor to the podcast let ' s all go to the lobby ! .
in the next scene , finn is now dressed as and jake uses his powers to morph into banana guards and are waiting in bushes for the guard change to take place . as the guards are changing , the guards all slip and end up in a massive pile while finn and jake just walk right into the barracks . they fit in , following the orders of colonel candy corn . they try to find out which guard could have done it in the gym . jake suggests that they lure the culprit out with enticing suggestions to commit crime . he approaches two buff guards working out , and wraps his arms around them . one is smiling while the other appears uncomfortable . he suggests that they commit a crime to know what true crime is . he points to a wall and says to meet there with a couple of buckets of paint . finn and jake tiptoe around the wall and jake assures finn that the plan will work . suddenly , a spot light catches them as a whole company of banana guards surround them . they two buff guards point them out , saying they wanted to commit crimes while a normal banana guard approaches jake and punches him in the face .
this episode is considered to be the season 7 finale ( and all the episodes in season 7 after this are considered season 8 ) by the adventure time : the complete seventh season dvd , urltoken [ 5 ] , and hulu . it is unclear if it is an error on cartoon network ' s behalf since

when princess bubblegum is shown the graffiti , she remarks that it is

, and tells finn and jake to go back to the barracks to find out which guard did it . finn asks why she doesn ' t just ask them to which she responds that she thinks the guards are secretly afraid of her . she then gives finn a banana guard costumes and says they can slip in during the guard change .
mexico was last nominated in the category in with alejandro gonzalez iñarritu’s “biutiful . ” the latin american nation has never won the award , though it’s been nominated a total of 8 times . despite this , mexican talent has been recognized at the oscars with wins for iñarritu ( “birdman” ) , alfonso cuaron ( “gravity” ) , emanuel lubezki ( “gravity , ” and “birdman” ) , and eugenio caballero ( “pan’s labyrinth” ) , in recent years .
during the changing of the guard scene , a banana guard walks through announcing that he is carrying
10 whipped cream pies
and then falls down . this is quite possibly a reference to an original , iconic & often parodied , series of sesame street sketches called

a road movie in the most literal sense , celso r . garcía’s dialogue fosters an easy , earthy camaraderie between the men , delivering both sadness and pure joy , and making this an irresistible journey in which audiences will delight .
la delgada línea amarilla is a movie starring damián alcázar , joaquín cosio , and silverio palacios . five men are hired to paint the lines of a road . painting 1 km / hour is slow enough to learn the lines between good and evil , laughter and despair , life and death . the challenges they face will change their lives forever .
the road will explain this friction eventually , of course , but well before that happens , it will dish out some hardships that force the unlikely team to bond . garcia ' s dialogue fosters an easy , earthy camaraderie between them , with enough jokes to make this a believable low - wage workplace but not enough to make the film a comedy .

in the alley with the graffiti , by the flyer for summer showers , there is a flyer with a picture of a hat reading ,
have you seen my hat ?

hat

the enigmatic damián alcázar is antonio , a onetime construction foreman who fell off the grid decades ago and is now a night watchman living in a junkyard . well , not any more : business is bad , and the scrapyard’s owner just replaced him with a guard dog . jobs are scarce in this corner of rural mexico , and antonio has to settle for pumping gas for pittance ; but when an old co - worker stops by for a fill - up , antonio once again gets the chance to lead a team .
for most of us , work takes up the majority of our lives—forty hours a week or more . and yet , it is rare for a film to focus on this pervasive reality . the general opinion is that there’s not enough drama or excitement there , which is what we usually look for in an entertainment . no doubt there is also a desire to avoid the painful aspects of work .
a film that will make you come out of the movie theater with a smile on your face . [ full review in spanish ]

garcia potently expresses the tough economic climate that his characters must survive in the very first scene as antonio ( damian alcazar ) , a melancholy blue - collar worker , is dismissed from his night watchman’s job at a junkyard and replaced by a ferocious dog . left with only his 1976 chevy truck and a box of well - thumbed photos and clippings , the aging antonio finds work hard to come by and payment for honest labor even more so . luckily , he crosses paths with an engineer ( fernando becerril ) who remembers him as the best construction crew chief he ever had .

for three consecutive years , english language films from mexican directors including gravity , birdman , and the revenant have scored big at the academy awards . mark mclemore talks with celso garcia , a mexican filmmaker whose debut feature film is getting a lot of attention in his home country , and here in tucson .
a pewter water jug and a hummed song in the opening scene , set in a wrecker’s yard , neatly establish the film’s credentials as a low - key contemporary western . ageing protagonist toño , lent a quiet strength by damian alcazar’s magnetic performance , is a private man of few words who pretty much sleeps in his straw stetson . when he’s laid off from his job as custodian of the scrapyard – to be replaced by a guard dog – he drives off in his battered pickup truck and begins a job search that takes him into the dusty , desertified heart of the state of san luis potosi . a fortuitous meeting with a civil engineer he knew years before reveals what’s gnawing at toño’s soul : his failure to prevent a fatal accident when he was foreman of a road gang .
