Are they going to include the part that explains that all the civilians in the train deserved to die because they were government leechers?

Lol, it's coming out on tax day.

The only person who could do Atlas Shrugged justice is Paul Verhoeven.

An excellent review of The Turin Horse.

New films by Assayas and Kiarostami (looks like he's leaving Iran for good).

Ha ha, it didn't even get nominated for that.

The Ghost Writer was my favorite english language feature of the year, and I thought it was an excellent thriller/Polanski's best since The Tenant, but I guess that's just me (and Sarris, Rosenbaum, Vishnevetsky).

Also, one of the greatest final shots ever.

The Green Hornet was decent fun.

Still wish Stephen Chow had done it.
Quote:
Yet all signs of life haven’t been muffled. In the current restrictive climate, Johnnie To can make eccentric, occasionally shocking films like Running on Karma (2003) and Throw Down (2004). I take comfort in learning just last weekend what terminated Stephen Chow’s directorship of The Green Hornet. According to one report he proposed to plant a microchip in the hero’s brain and have Kato control him with a joystick. In an Entertainment Weekly article not online, director Michel Gondry claims that Chow’s plans were too far out. “Really, really crazy ideas that you would not dare bring to a studio. AIDS was involved. Plastic boobs were involved too.” That Gondry, one of Hollywood’s approved Wild Things, can find something Chow proposed over the top gives you hope.

For anyone interested the Pedro Costa musical documentary Ne Change Rien is up on KG. The cover of the theme from Johnny Guitar is a particular surprise.

This was not what I was expecting (well, outside of women in despair).


So, uh... David Mamet.

Buy a ticket for any other movie, then go to the Atlas screening. WE NEED THE MARKET TO SPEAK FOR ITSELF.

I'm still not sure on whether the couple in Certified Copy knew each other. It's fun to think of it as some game, but the interaction as "strangers" getting to know each other is what delivers the films power. I'll need to watch it again (saw it in September), but Binoche's son's behavior in the beginning struck me as someone who didn't know Shimmel. Either way, I'm glad about this ambiguity, as either interpretation has strong arguments and I'm sure Kiarostami likes it that way, also, that "Love Streams" piece on Mubi is indeed lovely.

I think Kiarostami is in many respects the most fascinating and radical filmmakers working today. One can look at film like Close-Up as the most serious attempt of the blending of fiction and non-fiction (a recreation of an impostor deceiving a family, using the actual impostor and family to play themselves), or the overwhelming density of the village in The Wind Will Carry Us (where so many characters are referred to, rather than seen).

TMKF I'm surprised you've said that reviews for Certified Copy have been mixed, with complaints of wooden performances. It's been pretty universally well received (well, not exactly "universally"). with Binoche's performance usually being the first thing highlighted (I do think Shimell deserves more credit, he is really good, especially considering this is his first performance as an actor (he's actually a renowned Opera singer!).

I've read both of Julia Leigh's books, and she is a damn fine writer (mentioned them previously on a conversation about her famed mentor Toni Morrison).
