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!
