i saw this film at the berlin film festival where it was part of the ' panorama ' showings ( not in the actual competition itself ) . it was perhaps unhelpfully billed as a film about the ' taboo of relationships between japanese and koreans ' . i wouldn ' t say that it was particularly about that at all - more like a teenager ' s struggle for identity . i found it to be an excellent film . funny , touching and well - played . it deserves some international success .
amelie is a fun , entertaining and charming drama with comedic elements that is a unique film going experience . with a great story at hand , director jean - pierre jeunet crafts a film that is quite eccentric in the way that it ' s told . i don ' t want to get into comparisons here , but the film somewhat reminded me a bit of wes anderson ' s work due to the fact that it has a plateau of varied characters , whimsical story and unique style . this is an accomplished movie , one that boasts a terrific story and some splendid performances . for a romantic drama comedy , amelie succeeds at being an engaging film that will grab your attention from start to finish . i must admit , i didn ' t expect much from this film , but i was pleasantly surprised at how good the film was . audrey tautou does some great work here , and is perfect in the lead role , and i feel she brings a certain charm to her performance that really adds much more depth to the film . viewers wanting a good mix of drama and comedy , aided by a well written storyline , then this is a must see film . the film has enough wit and charm to satisfy anyone looking for a good film that is different in the way it presents a romantic story . this is a bizarre take on an old genre , and in many ways , it ' s a terrific way to tell a story . amelie has charm , and that ' s key in making a worthwhile film to watch . the acting and story go hand in hand , and for viewers looking for something different , amelie might be that film that you ' re looking for . this is a film that worth seeing , and one that exceeds expectations , and like i said , i expected to be disappointed , but i walked away enjoying it .

isao yukisada’s “go” is something like “swallowtail redux” : a film by a promising new director arriving in the theaters with terrific buzz , whose zainichi ( resident - in - japan ) korean hero exudes the kind of spunk and soul most of his japanese age - mates have either lost or never had to begin with . but in contrast to iwai’s asians , who were mostly cool figments of the director’s imagination , the hero of “go” — a teenager with a lion - mane hairdo and a temper to match — is the credible creation of kazuki kaneshiro , author of the best - selling novel on which the film is based , and a zainichi korean himself .

the filmmakers rewrote the film’s denouement after 9 / 11 to feature jumba’s red , white and blue spaceship instead of an airplane , according to the film’s wikia page . they also changed the scene’s setting , sending their characters over hawaii’s picturesque mountains and volcanoes rather than a city skyline .
through the in - your - face violence and dazzling virtuosity of its approach , go often comes dangerously close to over - stating its case in a manner that is more cinematic flourish than verisimilitude . in this respect it ' s easy to criticise go ' s focus on the individual racism that its protagonist suffers from over the deeply ingrained institutionalised racism which ensures that even after several generations , many resident koreans are still refused japanese passports .
foreign critics have been quick to point out japan ' s strained relationship with its neighbouring asian countries , and the prejudice faced by ethnic asians living in japan . some have stated that the issue is completely brushed under the carpet , but the truth is , go , which received a simultaneous theatrical release in japan and south korea , is not the first film treatment of the subject . nor is it the first film about discrimination directly against koreans . it is however the first major film to challenge existing preconceptions about japanese identity within such a commercial format . that it does so in such a moving and high - spirited fashion makes it even more worthy of note .
the film ' s supposed status as a feel - good flick originates from its ability to remind us that we ' re never alone in our failings .

she had difficulty convincing others to fund the film . the topic was not of interest to the film board , nor did it garner the support of the department of indian affairs ( which had partially financed other films ) . alanis received letters telling her to
forget it
. at one point , she gave up but then reconsidered because of all the energy she had already invested into it . she went to ottawa and started knocking on doors until she came back with funding from the secretary of state . it was necessary for her to do one segment at a time and then go looking for more funding . when the film was finally finished , she received a letter from the secretary of state saying they had
never invested their money in a better way in any film up to that time .

i was very pleased when the alberta government bought the rights to the film . many social workers in different departments see it now . one time i was in edmonton . . . and a man who had been the provincial ombudsman presented me with two new reports , saying that the richard cardinal film had helped force new policies and laws in alberta . young people in the audience said to him , ' why do you need a film to be made before you change the law ? ' he quickly replied , ' well , sometimes the government waits for the public to make a move , to push , otherwise they don ' t know .

one heartbreaker is shoichi ( takahito hosodayama ) , sugihara’s best friend , who has the most promise of all the korean kids he knows — and the worst luck . another is sakurai , who , as played by shibasaki , is flirty , flighty and supremely full of herself . but kubozuka is the real thing — and makes “go” worth going to .

i really enjoyed this film - everything about it glows and shines in a gentle luminosity . this film , if you have seen some of miyazaki ' s other work , is quite light . the characters are beautifully and lovingly created and the colouring and setting of this film is absolutely superb . this is a beautiful little film and i can ' t wait for the next feature from hayao miyazaki - he is better than walt disney . miyazaki blends the characters and the environment very well together , and i can see that this would be enjoyed for people at many different levels . miyazaki enjoys creating female heroines and i was pleased that chihiro lived up to the expression and beauty of her predecessors - like nausicaa from the valley of the wind . this is beautiful and i would advise anyone to take a look at it ' s scope and serenity , along with it ' s fast paced plot and of course , the dreamlike settings that make it truly wonderful .
a parisian girl devotes herself to secretly helping those around her , but is it only because she ' s afraid to go after love herself ? this crowd - pleasing comedy / romance with talking photographs and other magical elements is whimsical almost to the point of being flighty . enjoyable for sure , but i wouldn ' t have minded seeing a few cannibals pop up .

later , her films covered more political and social issues , beginning with incident at restigouche ( 1984 ) , a film about the two controversial raids by a battalion of 550 quebec provincial police of a small mi ' kmaq reserve on the restigouche river . the reason given for the raids was that the quebec ministry of fisheries needed to investigate alleged salmon overfishing on the reserve . this film was an important one for alanis because it was one of the first to demonstrate her strength of character . gittings calls alanis ' confrontation of the then quebec minister of fisheries , lucien lessard , one of the
strongest scenes
of any documentary film because she points out the
hypocrisy and short - sightedness of his position on national sovereignty

alanis obomsawin is the best known of many aboriginal canadian documentary filmmakers , perhaps because she is one of the first , having started with the national film board ( nfb ) in the 1960s . however , she is also well known because of her monumental undertaking of creating an educational film that delves into the complex and historical circumstances surrounding the
oka crisis
in the summer of 1990 . this film , entitled kahnesatake : 270 years of resistance , has been shown at many film festivals and other venues and is studied at schools and universities across the country . it is effective not only because of her style — using interviews that render a sense of subjective sensitivity and integrity — but also because alanis was the only filmmaker allowed
behind the scenes
and able to provide the point of view of the mohawk people . her reputation as an advocate for social justice for native people in canada through her filmmaking certainly garnered the trust necessary to enter into this sensitive and dangerous situation , yet she is much more than a filmmaker or an activist .
yet it was not just the minister of fisheries that alanis took it upon herself to confront . it was also necessary for her to challenge certain people at the film board , who thought she shouldn ' t be interviewing
whites
. she responded to these individuals :
the first time the film showed in edmonton . . . i saw many people i assumed were social workers . their faces were severe and some took notes . they looked very unfriendly . i understood . i knew how they felt . after the film , i ' ll tell you , it was dead silence . but when i started to talk the atmosphere changed totally . i said to them , ' i know some of you think i ' ve made this film to point the finger at you . i didn ' t do that . i want all of us to look at what has happened to this child . i want to force the government to change the rules — to find better foster places for these children . ' . . . i wanted the feeling that this must not happen again .
not for the sake of high art , but for simple escapism , argues legendary film critic pauline kael , who died this week . in this extract from her most famous essay , she explains why we should not be ashamed of what we like to watch more arts news and features
the most noticeable difference , as is the case with most film adaptations of children ' s stories - such as winnie the pooh and more recently eb white ' s stuart little - is that irony is hard to lift off the page . the slower pace of books makes for a richer experience : certainly the message of the book is more empowering to children . sadly , that slower reward may never now be attained , as the novelisation of the film , the scratch - and - stink storybook and the shrek gag book will have a far more immediate impact .
“lilo & stitch” originally was supposed to end with an action - packed scene featuring stitch and jumba hijacking a commercial airplane to rescue lilo from evil gantu ― something that’s visible in a side - by - side video produced by vox . the protagonists take over a passenger - filled boeing 747 and go on a high - speed chase through a dense city , brushing the sides of skyscrapers and coming close to pedestrians on the ground .

' blow ' is a horribly dull rehashing of classics such as ' scarface ' , ' goodfellas ' and ' boogie nights ' . the problems are abundant . its plot is rambling , bloated and tediously predictable ; so many plot points are crammed into it . this poorly constructed narrative results with sorely limited characterisation ; some seemingly important characters coming and going within ten minutes , it ' s a total mess . much of the film is one long dreary drug deal , only the most immature viewer would be engaged or , even worse , allured by it . most people will watch it thinking about how it lacks the energy , sophistication and talent of all the fantastic crime films it so crudely rips off . few films are as annoyingly kitsch as this . johnny depp again proves his lack of credibility in the crime genre , his first attempt being in the similarly dull ' donnie brasco ' . i ' m not sure why rt deems his performance ' excellent ' , his feminine features just don ' t work in the genre . ray liotta plays depp ' s father , the noble working class stock character that forms the film ' s rather flimsy anti - drug message . this fails because of the aforementioned narrative issues , the film is utterly devoid of any message that resonates with the viewer . most people who like this film appear to foolishly do so because they find it ' cool ' ; much like the bonehead rappers who idolise tony montana in ' scarface ' . to make matters worse , the film also has mawkish lashings of sentimentalism towards the end . the crew had to have known how inferior this film was during production , i can imagine it was exhausting for them to complete the project with any conviction .
most of all , it has a star - making performance by yosuke kubozuka who , as sugihara , brings a combination of brash attitude and boyish charm , raw toughness and comic flair . after a decade of looking for its next yusaku matsuda , perhaps the japanese film industry has finally found him .
so far , so quite like the film . and many of the themes - the friendship between shrek and the donkey , and above all the princess remaining in her ugly , bewitched state because that is beautiful to shrek - are in the film , too . but the balance is different and the message has been subtly altered . steig aimed his book at young children , whose greatest need is for parental love to be unconditional ; it tells them that accepting yourself for what you are is of the utmost importance . shrek remains true to himself , and the hideous , warty princess does too .
one executive told me that he was quite upset that his teenagers had chosen to go to bonnie and clyde rather than with him to closely observed trains . he took it as a sign of lack of maturity . i think his kids made an honest choice , and not only because bonnie and clyde is a good movie , but because it is closer to us , it has some of the qualities of indirect involvement that made us care about movies .
gittings adds that
by the end of the interview and the end of the film , lessard makes a personal apology for any problems his actions may have caused .
( gittings , p . 218 ) this is one of the prime examples of alanis
fighting back
in her adult life .
an exhilirating opening - all freeze frames , slo - mo , jump cuts , cut - to - bangin ' techno - gets your attention . understandably , it proves impossible to sustain this level of intensity , though the rest of the film is far from post - orgasmic comedown , with moments of brilliance .

nevertheless , kubozuka , the top teen heart - throb of japanese cinema in 2002 through his roles in laundry and ping pong , fills his role as sugihama with an affable punkish charm that is hard to resist . go ' s dramatic trajectory may be a fairly well travelled one , but in its stronger moments , such as the romantic interplay between kubozuka and shibasaki , it ' s undeniably affecting , and as such , one of the most outstandingly compelling and thought - provoking films of its year .
this is the semi - biographical tale of drug dealer george jung ( depp ) , who grew to be the largest distributor in the united states during the seventies and eighties . the film begins with george living the american dream amidst parents who find potential in excess , and he goes on to make a name for himself on a huge scale to appease them . the entire film feels like a psa against drug addiction and crime , easily digestible for any adverse youths who might stumble upon this while scrolling through cinemax . the ending especially , with its sad sack holier than thou approach , smelled rank of propaganda . depp gives a flat , meandering performance as jung , which only reaches its emotional plateau when his daughter is featured ( roberts ) . the film may be engaging , in the same was as
scarface
but there ' s none of the punch , or unapologetic violence . morality tales often aren ' t thrill rides , and in this case this one is down for maintenance .
alanis obomsawin is a woman of complexity . her native culture is rooted in the beauty of her early childhood on the odanak reserve and the fight against discrimination and injustice of her teenage years . as a young adult , she became a singer , educator and activist . her work with the national film board , though not without its challenges to a woman and aboriginal filmmaker , has allowed her to further her role , through film , as an educator and advocate for social change , thus living up to her name as a
pathfinder
. she is a fighter who resonates with compassion and an understanding of the imperfection that underscores what it means to be human :
but , as the shakespeare quote (
. . . a rose by any other name . . .
) that introduces the film reminds us , it ' s all about words , meanings and contexts . shugihara is telling the story of his love , a love that is intertwined with his very particular circumstances as an outsider .
everything about this movie impressed me . the script was lean and inventive , the direction stylish without being overblown , the acting top notch . even the shot - on - video cinematography looked great ( with the exception of one or two exterior shots that had a hint of video look to it , most everything else was
filmic
and artistic ) . i also appreciate any horror movie that can generate real tension and suspense from imagination and suggestion rather than relying on lame and lazy tricks that populate most horror movies ( if something as limp as urban legends can be called a horror movie ) . first rate film and i recommend to anyone who appreciates a thinking - man ' s horror film .
obomsawin calls film a ' place ' where native people can talk to each other about their losses , their memories of injustice , their desire to share what is good about their way of life , and with that sharing as viewers of her documentaries perhaps arrive at a better appreciation of how the dispossessed , dislocated , and disoriented try to come out of the abyss . this social realism is what makes obomsawin narratives potent and cathartic ; they are like the axiom which says one has to deal with the poison before a process of healing can begin . to her as director / producer / writer , film must attempt to transform people and society ; it must be an artifice of social reform .

still , if those kids had chosen wild in the streets [ barry shear ' s 60s satire about a rock star who becomes us president ] over closely observed trains i would think that was a sound and honest choice , too , even though wild in the streets is in most ways a terrible picture . it connects with their lives in an immediate , even if a grossly frivolous , way , and if we don ' t go to movies for excitement , if , even as children , we accept the cultural standards of refined adults , if we have so little drive that we accept
good taste
, then we will probably never really begin to care about movies at all . we will become like those people who
may go to american movies sometimes to relax
but when they want
a little more
from a movie , are delighted by how colourful and artistic franco zeffirelli ' s the taming of the shrew is , just as a couple of decades ago they were impressed by the red shoes , made by powell and pressburger , the zeffirellis of their day .
pearl harbor is a classic tale of romance set during a war that complicates everything . it all starts when childhood friends rafe and danny become army air corps pilots and meet evelyn , a navy nurse . rafe falls head over heels and next thing you know evelyn and rafe are hooking up . then rafe volunteers to go fight in britain and evelyn and danny get transferred to pearl harbor . while rafe is off fighting everything gets completely whack and next thing you know everybody is in the middle of an air raid we now know as
pearl harbor .
as far as biopics go , it ' s not the best , and suffers from the flaws that come with the territory , but , as far as entertaining drug movies ( anti - drug movies that hypocritically glamorize drugs can still be good ) that are also strong character studies go , this film is amazing . the energy is high , the sets , decor , costumes , hairstyles , and soundtrack are excellent , and the performances are mostly really good . it ' s a little hard to buy liotta as depp ' s dad , but it could be worse . depp is phenomenal , suplee is really pretty good , and reubens is just a riot . it seems a little contradictory that he made this about a decade after his infamous
crack
psa , but he does an awesome job here . i find it sadly ironic that this movie makes the lifestyle fun and glamorous , and that the ultimate message is that drugs are bad , but that the director died of cocaine related heart problems . i ' ll admit that this movie is a mess , but i really like it . there ' s a lot of good technique and other stuff on display here , and to me , that makes up for some of its issues . it initially comes off as scorsese light , but ultimately comes into its own eventually . plus , the movie has some hilarious moments and some really great lines . it gets really depressing really fast towards the end , but it ' s mostly a fun ride .
chihiro and her parents are moving to a small japanese town in the countryside , much to chihiro ' s dismay . on the way to their new home , chihiro ' s father makes a wrong turn and drives down a lonely one - lane road which dead - ends in front of a tunnel . her parents decide to stop the car and explore the area . they go through the tunnel and find an abandoned amusement park on the other side , with its own little town . when her parents see a restaurant with great - smelling food but no staff , they decide to eat and pay later . however , chihiro refuses to eat and decides to explore the theme park a bit more . she meets a boy named haku who tells her that chihiro and her parents are in danger , and they must leave immediately . she runs to the restaurant and finds that her parents have turned into pigs . in addition , the theme park turns out to be a town inhabited by demons , spirits , and evil gods . at the center of the town is a bathhouse where these creatures go to relax . the owner of the bathhouse . . .
from this film , obomsawin went on to create another important work , richard cardinal : cry from a diary of a métis child ( 1986 ) , a poignant look at the short life of a métis adolescent who committed suicide after having been shuffled in and out of 28 foster homes and institutions . alanis felt very strongly about what happened to richard , saying ,
i tell the kids to look at the loss that we have , what a poet he was . he ' s gone . it ' s too bad nobody realized , what happened , how he got there .
( steven , p . 182 ) the film also provided a penetrating look at the child welfare system in alberta at the time , and it brought about change . says alanis :
it is this combination of strength and courage to challenge intermingled with compassion that define her as a filmmaker of substance and integrity . similarly , alanis has never wanted to publicize her own challenges as an aboriginal woman filmmaker in the male world of film . rather than speak out on her personal struggles , her priority is to advocate for social change and to bring the voices of aboriginal peoples to the forefront :
one misty morning , liz dunn stumbles down the road to her school and screams for help . a police psychologist gets her to reveal her story : a month earlier : three rebellious teenagers - mike , frankie and geoff are trying to ditch the school field trip to wales . the school nerd martin helps them out by allowing them to stay in an old war bunker for the three days on the condition that his friend liz joins them . the teens go down , party and have great fun but martin doesn ' t return to let them out and they hope and pray that someone will find them . . .
since then , alanis has made several other films , including one on an addictions recovery center near edmonton , one on homeless people in montréal , and a film about a day care center in montréal — all about aboriginal institutions serving aboriginal people . then came the events at oka , and the series of films that evolved from behind - the - scenes film footage , including the arrest of one of the individuals involved in the stand - off and a personal look at one of the
warriors
, an iron worker who had worked on high rises in new york city . more recent films include is the crown at war with us ? ( 2002 ) , which depicts the violence and racial tension evident in the political events concerning the new brunswick fisheries near the mi ' kmaq community of esgenoopetitj ( burnt church ) .
obomsawin ' s films represent a corrective to the historical exclusion of native image in film , the vast majority of it has been created without the consent and most often without the control of the native person whose image is being taken and utilized in media . i really believe alanis is using a medium to provide a voice and a story for a lot of people who historically have not had that opportunity .
there is such rubbish on the cable movie channels that i hit a gem with this one . from beginning to end it had me gripped and deserves top marks . father of two sons hears messages from
god
to kill people who he is told are ' demons ' . when the opening credits showed the director as one of the cast that can often be a warning of a bad film ; exceptionally it is the reverse here as the drama is non - stop from beginning to end . and there is not one moment in the movie when one is not fully enthralled as there are no unnecessary or needless sub - plots , and the script is first class . all the actors give wholly convincing performances especially the lead child actor who is exceptional . this film is at least as good as the likes of ' silence of the lambs ' .
when my 14 year old brother was younger , he was very much into the goosebumps books that r . l . stine was cranking out at a very rapid pace . he still has probably 75 or more of them . anyways , being an avid horror fan , and knowing full well the books were geared towards kids , i still gave them a shot . i must say r . l . stine writes like kids are idiots , or they won ' t questions things . his stories are very obvious , predictable , and sometimes down right dumb . . . my little brother quickly out grew the books , but nonetheless , my mother still has them . i can honestly say there were a few i go in to . the haunted mask being one of them . anyway , here we have a made for video movie starring christopher lloyd . he truly is the stare of the film . i must say this one wasn ' t that bad . the story was silly , but still gave a creepy halloween vibe . . . a creepy vide at all , which is missing from most stine ' s stuff . i was very disappointed with the ending . . . however , it is in true stine fashion . my wife and i watched this with my daughter , who is very intelligent , and loves saying
scary
in a very deep , almost demonic voice . she did that a lot though this film . she is only 21 months old , but movies like halloween , are more her speed for some reason . anyway , she seemed to like this , and i found it to be a refreshing blend of scare and fun . . . . recommend for any audience . . . decent effects , very colorful , beautiful sets . . . . overall not a bad kids flick ! 8 out of 10 2006 update : my daughter is now 6 years old and still enjoyes watching this film around halloween . it is a tradition during that time of year .
alanis continues to work for the national film board and has also continued singing and visiting schools , prisons and communities . her best - known recording , bush lady , was released in 1988 . on a more personal note , she has raised her daughter , kisos , who is now in her thirties . she also does etchings , some of which she exhibits publicly from time to time , to help de - stress from the work of the day .
in 1965 , the canadian broadcasting corporation ( cbc ) made a documentary on her performances and her social activism for their telescope program , which brought her to the attention of two national film board producers , wolf koenig and bob verrall . they were working on a documentary on activists and invited her to consult on this and several other projects . by 1967 , she was working on her own projects , including multimedia educational kits for the manowan and l ' hawat tribes .
elizabeth receives her admission letter to harvard in october , before halloween . ( the party she and donnie have is a halloween party to celebrate her admission . ) however , harvard belongs to the universities that use the universal application and notification dates : applications have to be received by januay 1 and letters of acceptance ( or rejection ) are mailed on april 15 . to be coherent with harvard ' s system , the film would have to take place in april , not october .
as a promotional tool , the creators developed an elaborate internet game of discovery and problem solving , through hidden messages and puzzles in internet sites , telephone answering messages , e - mail accounts and clues in the film ' s trailers . the game , set in the world of a . i . involved websites registered in several countries around the world as well as telephone numbers from across the us , and a group of followers called
the cloudmakers
followed the puzzle , sharing information .
in the film adaptation , however - even with a u certificate - the love dynamic has been made romantic . shrek and the princess are both lovable to the outside world because their love for each other renders them beautiful . shrek is changed by his love : the implication as they slip away in the pumpkin coach is that he will be a cleaner , more socialised creature from now on . it is a message of social acceptance - not the narrow focus of parental acceptance that so often provides the glue for a picture - book story .
this hero , sugihara , simmers with the rage that comes from being different in a society that celebrates its homogeneity and defines membership by blood . though they may be the third generation of their families in japan and they may look , talk and act like the japanese around them , sugihara and his korean pals are still excluded , in ways subtle and not so subtle , from the mainstream . they are , the film notes in a funny , fast - paced , slickly edited opening sequence , more likely to end up in a police lineup than behind a company president’s desk .
obomsawin has said that the most important part of her making kahnesatake was that ' there had to be a document that came from us . . . that was crucial . ' less than an attempt to be the definitive voice , kahnesatake was a distinct voice , one among many , and one that , finally , would allow the people under siege and their compatriots to give their side of the story . going so far as to call the film ' s approach demagogic shows a lack of clear understanding of the uses to which obomsawin ' s subjective voice is put .

magical realism is quickly becoming my go - to sub - genre . it lends itself to the here and now while also being a bit mired in fantasy elements . add to that the star - crossed lovers aspect and i am sold . the o ' donnells and the angerts have generations - long feud that rivals that of the hatfields and mccoys and a million junes is basically the unraveling of that tale , of how the feud started and how it will end . there is banter . there are flashbacks . and there is magic . and it all culminates into a gloriously unique story , full of the beautiful writing i discovered in emily henry ' s debut novel last year .

shawn : it’s safe to say that three days don’t go by without somebody shouting “inconceivable ! ” to me in the street , many of them not particularly imagining that anyone else on earth had ever thought of doing it before .
i am a sucker for anything that compares itself to r + j , but couple that with emily henry ' s name and i didn ' t need to know anything else . i love love loved june and saul . they ' re both grieving and trying to work through it and i loved every scene with them together . they have an immediate and hilarious banter . i could have easily read a million more pages of the two of them . the entire cast of characters is delightful . { i would like more hannah please ! } it did get a bit confusing with all of the past family members , but eventually i just gave up trying to keep them straight . there ' s not much i can say about the plot without spoilers . plus i ' m not sure i could even explain it . it unfolds in the way it needs to and it ' s a glorious and deliciously slow burn . i would have liked just a bit more from the ending , but it was perfect how it was and i ' m just really really greedy . * * huge thanks to razorbill books and edelweiss for providing the arc free of charge * *
