Does Gatsby Work On Thick Hair

"Entre les murs" aka "The class "

Released in Italy with a title that evokes "The team" Entre les murs is a film that deserves more serious analysis of this . The problem of the relationship between teacher and students, refers to a host of other issues of social, political and even ideological that this film is so so clear that this is not artificial. In fact everything seems to emerge in an absolutely spontaneous. François Bégaudeau, the author of the novel on which the film is cast, also plays the role the professor. Discussions between the teacher and students are passionate and are real lessons of life and democracy. So much so that it becomes true in some cases even dangerous. In summary, this film by Laurent Cantet be seen not only because it is beautiful and well made, but also because it shows that the task of the school is not only to learn the concepts, but above all to be a community to which everyone must learn to relate.
The film is shot in a real school in Paris, the Collège Françoise Dolt, which is located in the 20th arrondissement, one of the most lively district (in all senses) in Paris.

Mesrine: the death instinct


It reads "Merino" and it is a figure halfway between the bandit and folk hero, with some nuances revolutionary. I do not know much of its history, but I must say that the fact that he saw the first part of the diptych film in theaters these days has not added much to my knowledge. In fact this is a film budellonissimo, full of narrative gaps and sometimes even unintentionally comic. Everything is played on a certain technical expertise and on the charm of Vincent Cassel that still has its limits and eventually border on caricature. Widely plagiarized and without a thick, this first part of the story does not illuminate the history of Mesrine famous villain, indeed, one wonders why it went down in history and where the famous political aspect. Who has not seen this first hand and is still interested in the story, I suggest you read a good synopsis and go directly to the second, hoping to be more enlightening.

Sweet Morning Together

The Silence of Lorna Waltz With Bashir



The story of an Albanian girl who married "white" for a Belgian nationality, in turn, agrees to marry another foreigner to earn the money needed to open a snack with ' man she loves. A real paradox aside their own humanity in order to realize a dream of love. A theme is the relationship between opportunistic calculation and affection, già abbordato ne L'enfant . I fratelli Dardenne , illustrano la vicenda di Lorna in maniera magistrale, raccontando la storia per immagini e dialoghi, senza che emerga alcuno schema concettuale. Bellissime le riprese "troppo da vicino" nella prima parte, quasi ad annullare la distanza dello spettatore per farlo entrare nella storia. Effetto peraltro assolutamente riuscito, visto anche il ritmo serrato con cui la trama evolve.

Howmuch Is Plan B 2010




Bashir è Bashir Jemayel , il presidente libanese leader dell'estrema destra "falangista" assassinato, pare, da gruppi palestinesi. Il valzer fa un po' austro-ungarico, ma il film parla della guerra israelo-palestinese 1982. In this age forty-one realizes that Israel does not remember anything of his first twenty years experience in Lebanon, and begins a survey of psychoanalysis and historical reconstruction. Waltz with Bashir is, paradoxically, a documentary animation ". The cartoon was used to take the necessary distance from the facts, as if only the abstraction allowed to confront the horror of repression. Despite the argument the film is truly exciting and enjoyable: it will be that the viewer, after hearing about it for many years for the massacre of Sabra and Shatila, is deeply curious to know what really happened.
Moreover it seems that the work deeply critical and anti-militarist Ari Folman has been a remarkable success in Israel.
not to be missed.

Rubbing Alcohol On Strep

Shine a Light



So little concert and documentary, in taking the four steels caryatids Scorsese has tried his hand in an exercise in style anthology film: there are all sorts of shots and the overall effect is remarkable. Too bad the movie is just a concert, at the Beacon Theatre in New York (2006) in the presence of the entire Clinton clan, too. At the beginning of the film the Rolling Stones are even forced to do the honors with the whole retinue of relatives of former U.S. president! What should he be able to ask Monica! They bend but not break and after bowing they start playing with the office ever. Scorsese takes them wrinkle for wrinkle and shows how, after all, their bodies are still perfectly in tune with their music. And to make matters worse on the registry issue here and it goes up on the interviews with the old jokes about the fact of continuing to do the rock star up to 60. In short, a sincere and honest tribute to the group that gave wonderful songs for his films. Missing Gimme Shelter (formerly in The Departed , Casino and Goodfellas ), but on the other hand there are splendid performances of As Tears Go By "and" Sympathy for the Devil.

Flight Simulator Chair Homemade

save us from evil!



Deliver Us From Evil , esce in Francia il 2 aprile 2008 con il titolo Delivrez-nous du mal , ovvero "liberateci dal male" che elimina l'ambiguità del titolo originale dove "deliver us from evil" corrisponde esattamente al passo della nota preghiera. Si tratta di un documentario basato sulla confessione di padre O'Grady, il prete pedofilo che rivendica esplicitamente i suoi abusi sessuali su bambini di età preferibilmente prepubere. Al là della perversione, ciò che veramente scandalizza è la protezione da parte delle gerarchie ecclesiastiche cattoliche. Pare abbiano fatto di tutto per non fare emergere il caso e in generale sembra che dagli anni 50 abbiano speso circa un miliardo di dollari di spese giuridiche lawyers to cover up cases of sexual abuse.
The documentary material from 2006, released here in France for just now, perhaps in Italy. However for those who wish to have it in the network is not for sale.

Is Club Car Better Than Yamaha

I've always dreamed of being a gangster


J'ai toujours rêve d'être a gangster is a bit 'Coffee and Cigarettes French. Film in black and white episodes in part related to one another, with characters staring, surreal dialogues harsh environments at the bar. Indeed, in an anonymous "cafeteria" by ring and a large parking area. In fact, despite the obvious stylistic debt, against & Jim Jarmusch co, the 35 year-old author and stage director Samuel Benchetrit has been able to give this its second original feature film a nice touch, as well as a comic a bit 'less minimal than in the American model. The characters are simple, but all very soft and human. There are those who, bored by this, look for a future adventure, those who are forced to embark on extravagant to make ends meet, or who, instead, he lived in an era that is no longer and which is now part of the myth. A heartfelt tribute to the movies yesterday, one of the gangsters and adventurers, or perhaps more like the movies in general, as the projection of desires that have no place in life.
It 'really a funny movie, entertaining and very enjoyable, on Saturday afternoon, the hall of the Majestic Bastille was full of laughter and rieccheggiante. It almost seemed a projection of the past. I hope to come out in Italy, but I doubt it, even if it is passed to Locarno Film Festival last year.

Marge Simpson Costume

Rewind!


Be Kind Rewind is a light comedy and surreal Michel Gondry, the French director who has conquered Hollywood after having made videos for Bjork, Rolling Stones, Chemical Brothers, Massive Attack, Kylie Minogue , Daft Punk, Lenny Kravitz and Radiohead. If the remainder after Spotless Mind and The Science of Sleep (with Che Guevara and Gainsbourg), he is known in Italy. Less "mental" and much more visual, his latest film is about two tattered that due demagnetize all the tapes of the video store that one of them in temporary management, they start re-make the film most requested by Ghost Busters Robocop in style ... in a wonderfully trashy. Nice idea and well done the film, thanks to the exuberance of Jack Black . A moving tribute to the era of VHS. In Italy
out? Who knows. Here in France it is collecting far less than expected, as has happened in the U.S. and this will certainly help its spread.
A curiosity: both in Italy and France at the moment is the national product and practically inesportabile to big box office successes. In Italy is Verdone, here is Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis , comedy vaguely fantozziana he plays the stereotypical image that the French have inhospitable lands of the far north of the country and spoken typical of their inhabitants. Pare is earning more than the last Asterix (and do not like Alain Delon).

How Do I Neutralize Acid In My Throat

blood will flow?


There Will Be Blood There Will Be Blood or rather, as stated in the inevitable distortion of our national title, is the new film by Paul Thomas Anderson , to Magnolia (the film where it rained frogs) and Boogie Nights (Rise and fall of a porn actor gifted). Despite the quality and success of the first two films, which also launched international actors like Philip Seymour Hoffman and Mark Wahlberg, Anderson has only worked in television for a while 'for years before returning to the movies with this There Will Be Blood . Here again the visual quality is excellent. The initial sequences are powerful: images without words (and sounds!) Blackened and brutalization of men say a lot about human greed and how it can turn a person into a war machine insensitive. Seekers of oil in the mud and crawling along the wells have something delle scimmie di 2001: Odissea nello spazio e della loro lotta per la sopravvivenza ed il dominio. There will be blood è ambientato in California agli inizi del '900 e parla, per l'appunto, di un uomo che ha venduto l'anima al petrolio, nonchè, di conseguenza, del rapporto tra potere e la religione, ovvero della necessità di farsi amici i preti per fregare veramente tutti. Pressochè posseduto dalla sua smania di ricchezza, Daniel Plainview ( Daniel Day-Lewis ), lavora come un matto tirandosi dietro il figlioletto. La sorte premia i suoi sforzi con il successo economico, ma punisce la sua cupidigia colpendo suo figlio, come nella nella migliore tradizione biblica. Nella seconda parte il film elaborates a bit 'lingering on the relationship between the entrepreneur and the preacher possessed Saving Silverman, who had offered the opportunity of an alliance between God and oil (not for nothing they say "anointed by the Lord"). The psychological analysis of character is still very high standards and high complexity, there is also a mention of Moliere's Don Giovanni. Criticism quotes rightly Citizen Kane and Giant well Kubrick and Altman .

Congratulate Pregnancy What To Say

Theatre ephemeral


Sometimes it is worth spending a few words like theater. In Paris there is overtime. The Theatre de Bouffes du Nord è un posto da sogno. Restaurato in maniera da conservare il fascino fatiscente che aveva negli anni '70 quando Peter Brook lo scoprì, ricorda la pittura Moreau, ma anche quella di Dubuffet da quanto è materico e, apparentemente, lì lì di dissolversi.
Altro posto magico è la Cartoucherie, sede del Théàtre du Soleil , compagnia fondata e tutt'ora diretta Ariane Mnouchkine . In questi giorni presentano l'opera Les Ephémères , che dopo aver debuttato a Parigi a fine 2006 ha fatto il giro del mondo riscuotendo grandi consensi. Si tratta di uno spettacolo che nella sua versione integrale - che io ho visto con sommo piacere sabato scorso - dura circa 7 ore ed è composto da una serie di episodi di vita familiare che abbracciano le generazioni del dopoguerra fino ai giorni nostri (che sono poi anche quelle che compongono la compagnia di attori!). Sono piccole storie raccontate in estrema sintesi e scomposte in vari frammenti; si svolgono su piattaforme circolari spinte sulla scena, dove, in tempi brevissimi, sviluppano intrecci ora commoventi, ora drammatici e sempre appassionanti, per poi scorrere via lasciando il posto ad altre storie. E' uno spettacolo bellissimo e si può vedere anche diviso in Recueil 1 e Recueil 2. Bellissimo è anche il luogo, fa venir voglia di credere nell'utopia (?) della Comune.

Mondeo Outside Temp Sensor

Redacted, revised and corrected



Fin from the title, which the French edition has added a corollary explanation, "revue et corrige" precisely, the new film by Brian De Palma prensenta you as a mosaic of images reconstructed. "Redacted" means fact "preparing for publication" or "edit", "reconstruction" and even "manage" than "drafting". In an absolutely masterful De Palma re-creates materials from different sources - surveillance cameras, more or less amateur footage taken by soldiers, Iraqi TV services and video on the internet, there are also fragments of a fake documentary with artistic ambitions - and reassembles them into a single tragic representation. The everything takes place in Samarra in 2006 and told the story is inspired by a true story, or the gang rape of a fifteen, his assassination and that of his entire family by a group of U.S. soldiers. In addition to denounce the horror, degradation and violence generated by an unnecessary war, unprovoked, if not in terms of personal opportunity, in the eyes of the soldiers themselves, De Palma is uncertain, as always, on the legality of cinematic voyeurism. Is it not also a crime to assist the atrocities of war to film and maybe guadagnarcisi to eat? De Palma seems to consider the "voyeur" as guilty as the perpetrator. Actually the problem is filosofico, quindi insolubile. Da una parte il fatto di mostrare ed informare il mondo dell'orrore e della violenza è un atto di denuncia meritevole che quindi non va colpevolizzato; dall'altro è vero che c'è qualcosa di mostruoso in chi riesce ad assistere e a documentare delle efferatezze insopportabili. Visto che la filosofia non ci aiuta, possiamo sempre dare una risposta religiosa, che forse è proprio quella che sta all'origine dei sensi di colpa di De Palma: si può fare basta che la logica sia quella del sacrificio...guai a chi prova piacere. In questo caso, in fondo, non è affatto difficile.
Comunque il film è davvero eccellente. Breve, carico di tensione, conciso ed efficace. Perfetti anche gli attori e molto kubrickiani (In my opinion it is no coincidence that here there is a Pyle become bad), like the trio op.100 Andante of Schubert, Barry Lindon soundtrack . I do not know when it comes out in Italy, but it is certainly a film that's worth the wait.
A curiosity: Casualties of War, or The Outrages, the only other war films of De Palma, is set in Vietnam and has the same plot! Courses and resorts and movie history!

Water Cooling Disadvantages




Juno is released in the U.S. in December 2007, February 6, 2008 in France, while Italy will be seen only from April 4, 2008. Nothing wrong except that in reality for Italy this film has already passed and also won the second edition of the Rome Film Festival ! Now, I understand that common people who attended the Italian cinemas did not enjoy the same privileges to those who can enjoy the first fruits of the festival, but I also wonder what will serve to promote film festivals that have not reflected any impact on the cultural life of ordinary mortals. Well I mean, if a film wins festival in Italy, do not see why Italy should come out in the same four months after being released in France! Rewarding a film perhaps serves to promote and increase their visibility? Obviously this is not the point of view of O & Co. Veltroni who is not however, given the sensitivity of the center-left in this respect that the film was honored because it's about someone who chooses not to abort?
Comunuqe beyond this controversy, Juno is a great comedy, ironic, funny and also very intelligent. Like all comedies, this is not exactly realistic, then we should not wait for a proper analysis of the problems that may have a sixteen year old who becomes pregnant, this film has pretty good representation of the views at the same time cynical and naïve teenagers these days are about love, sex and married life. The same great humor of the dialogue and characters of this film is born the ease with which these teenagers are shown without being more open-minded now. Jason Reitman the rest is also the director of the sympathetic Thank you for Smoking. Excellent
the interpretation of the main character, twenty year-old Ellen Page which debuted in X-Men 3: The Last , before interpreting the disturbing Hailey in Hard Candy. The interpretation of Juno earned her a nomination for an Oscar as best actress.
So if you still want April to go to the movies, remember that this film will do well with a few laughs.

Juno Sweeney Todd against


Tim Burton has always dealt with monsters. Monsters are still victims of a society that holds up, isolates them and despise them. In the case of Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street , the case is slightly different: the first to suffer the grievous wrong that tore him away from his family, the barber Benjamin Barker was a regular guy, and quite popular in its field , is the fact of becoming a victim of a terrible injustice, which then turns into the monster. In short, the monsters are victims, and victims sometimes turn into monsters. In the case of this film is the thirst for revenge that turns the hero into monsters. Initially, the action picks unequivocally that the Count of Monte Cristo, both come from the sea, have changed names and wish to become justice. But then the story of Sweeney Todd evolve quite differently, perhaps lacks the coolness of the famous Count ... With regard to the visual
, Sweeney Todd fits perfectly in style and iconography developed by Tim Burton over the years: toni bruises on which stands the red of blood, gothic atmospheres and characters staring with improbable hair. Turning finally to the sound, the choice of the musical is bizarre but coherent: the characters as they sing to express their belonging to the same fairy tale. I know that many people do not stand musicals, but I must say that in this case the music is very discreet: we follow the story almost without noticing that the characters speak and there is no singing talent shows, ballets and choruses. Of course it is to avoid any edition other than the original!
In Italy from February 22, 2008.

Refinancing With Power Of Attorney

Montecristo No country for old man - a man


So they all say that this film is the Coen brothers' masterpiece. I honestly do not understand why we should rule out that the next is even better, but I agree on the assessment of art. No Country for Old Men film is a cryptic, very visual and untranslatable into a logical - I think it's that kind of film to review Enrico Ghezzi had to cross the threshold of prose understandable -. A psychopathic killer came from nothing kills everyone he meets on his journey, the story follows a sheriff philosopher deferred and can not even meet the bad guy, the antagonist is not even good and bad but none of these characters is compared with others. It will be an anti-elegiac western, decadent and dusk? Dunno, but in the end who cares. If you liked Fargo and Blood Simple before go quietly to see you too! NB From
dog I really appreciated the fact that the dead dogs were clearly puppets!

Phorn Breast Feeding Viedos

Lust, Caution and pennica


What a bore! A hackneyed story of the militant, who falls in love with the enemy even if it is a criminal and a continuous repetition, on the edge of obsession, of shots, expressions, moods and games Majong between good sir. Other movies that load of sexual tension, lust pornazzo, rather than the content (some sex scene with some pubic and scrotal shot but without anything particularly spicy), has the structure boring, banal and repetitive (a tal proposito si vedano le divertenti disquisizioni di Umberto Eco, che mi premurerò di "linkare" se le troverò in rete).
