The Misfits

The Misfits Review

Available at Amazon Check Price Now!

I don’t know why, but I never even really considered watching `The Misfits’. Even when I was watching a lot of Marilyn Monroe films, I never really thought about watching this one. A friend told me that it was coming on TCM and that she was going to be watching it, and so we decided to get together and see it together. While I cannot say that the overall experience was what I hoped for, I must tell you that there are parts of this film that work marvelously. Overall I was entertained and even delighted (especially during the films finale) but there are huge chunks of this film that don’t work as well as they intended to.

The film tells of a lonely cowboy and a young divorcee who fall in love over mutual sadness and a longing for belonging.

Okay, so lets start with the good. The acting across the board is very well done. Both leads handle their performances with a strength that is surprising (beings that neither are brilliant actors) as well as very welcomed. This is not the best performance by either star (look at Monroe in `Some Like It Hot’ or Gable in `It Happened One Night’ for that) but it is definitely at the top of their heap. Monroe’s early scenes convey a breathy sense of maturity that she often forgot to lend her vixens, and Gable has so much natural girth that you just can’t help but see him as a real man, no actorly symptoms in sight. The deaths of both actors (which came very shortly after this film was released) is a sad yet poignant facet of the film. When one watches the film with the knowledge of the eventual demise of the stars we can see a layer of profound realism in the character’s desperate plea for some sort of purpose.

It makes so much sense.

As good as the leads were, the supporting cast is even better. Eli Wallach delivers one of my favorite supporting performances of all time as Guido, the lovelorn pilot who fails to impress Roslyn as much as he hoped to. His dire need for a woman’s touch is so stunningly conveyed that he takes the cake as the most impressive performer in the cast (it’s no wonder Monroe wanted his scenes shorted so that he wouldn’t steal her limelight). Thelma Ritter is also stunningly capable of carrying her scenes, with a spunk and cheery light that emanates and illuminates. Montgomery Clift really excels in the films final scenes, where his moral dilemmas are made prominent. It’s a beautifully complete performance.

But, where there is good there is also some bad. My biggest issue with `The Misfits’ is that there is a huge chunk of film in the middle of the movie that just doesn’t fit right. The beginning is spot on and really engaging, and the ending is nothing short of stunning (that final conversation between Monroe and Wallach is just brilliant) but the middle, that budding romance, is just awkward and unnecessary. It just doesn’t hold up and I found my interest fading. John Huston is a very capable director (see `Fat City’ RIGHT NOW) but he loses his reigns on this one a bit and delivers a less than perfect final product. The thing is, this could have been remarkable on all fronts, but it just isn’t.

See it, for it is the final film projects for two very beloved motion picture icons, but don’t expect it to be all that it could have been.

The Misfits Overview

Expertly directed by John Huston (The Maltese Falcon) from a screenplay by Pulitzer Prize winner Arthur Miller, The Misfits is a probing, exciting drama (The Film Daily) of honesty, intensity and sheer poetic brilliance. Divorced and disillusioned, Roslyn Tabor (Marilyn Monroe) befriends a group of misfits, including an aging cowboy (Clark Gable), a heartbroken mechanic (Eli Wallach) and a worn-out rodeo rider (Montgomery Clift). Through their live-for-the-moment lifestyle, Roslyn experiences her first taste of freedom, exhilaration and passion. But when her innocent idealism clashes with their hard-edged practicality, Roslyn must risk losing their friendship…and the only true love she’s ever known.

The Misfits Specifications

It was the last roundup for Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe, who gave their final performances in this melancholy modern Western. Arthur Miller wrote the script (some say overwrote) as a contemplation of his then-wife, Monroe, and set the piece in the half-world of Reno, Nevada. The dangers of this kind of meta-fictional approach are not entirely avoided, but the clean, clear-eyed direction of John Huston keeps the film grounded. And then there are the people: Gable a warrior past his time, Monroe overwhelmed by the world and its attentions, Montgomery Clift visibly broken in pieces, Eli Wallach a postwar neurotic. If the encroaching mortality of Gable, Monroe, and Clift weren’t enough, the stark photography and Alex North’s score confirm this as a film about loss. It may have its problems, but seen at a distance of many years, The Misfits scatters its tender mercies with an aching beauty. –Robert Horton

How Do Films And Television Programs Affect Our Lives-Are They Beneficial Or Harmful?

15 March 2010, 7:43 am


Image : http://www.flickr.com

The first time I saw a martial arts film in a local cinema, I told myself that I wanted to be a great fighter like Bruce Lee. In my mind, I was already a hero just waiting for an opportunity to show off my fighting skills. In my obsession I enrolled in a local karate school to learn how to punch, kick and generally dispatch off another person with ease.

What I experienced in the school was totally different from what I imagined it to be.

In the first place, I learned that there is no heroism involved in fighting. Only fools fight among themselves. Furthermore they get broken hands and bruises all over the body for nothing. Learning karate is an arduous task. It is one that requires discipline and perseverance. After all the tough sessions in the ‘dojo’ a karate practitioner will have no desire to go out of his way to fight with anybody. He knows what the consequence can be, so he avoids a fight.

So in this aspect I would certainly say that films are harmful. They gave me a wrong idea of what martial arts is all about. It is with a bit of sadness when sometimes I see young kids showing off what little knowledge of fighting they have. I was lucky to have a good teacher who taught me the inner aspects of martial arts. I learned to be humble and gentle, far different from the arrogant film hero who could kill off hundred bad guys without batting an eyelid.

Violence on television and films also do a lot of harm on the viewers. In one film that I saw, it was nothing but a tale of murder after murder. People got killed all over place by all sorts of methods. Guns, knives, bombs and other types of killing tools were displayed unceasingly. It was like a feast where killing is the main activity. I actually felt sick and disoriented halfway through the show and had to leave to retain some semblance of sanity. How would the film affect these who sat through the whole show? I am sure their brains were filled with images of violence. I only hope they do not go out and imitate what they saw.

Not all these influences are harmful. It is when they are carried out to extremes that we lose touch with ourselves and so live in a fantasy world.

In real life, nobody can go on fighting with an axe embedded in his abdomen. Only film heroes can do that. Also we cannot hope to defeat fifty opponents without even raising a sweat. People get killed in real life car crashes. Only film heroes escape minor scratches. Reality has little to do with such shows.

Fortunately, not all films and television programs are harmful. Documentaries and educational programs are definitely beneficial. I learned many things about wildlife and people, their customs and traditions. In short these programs gave me a better perspective of the world that we live in, the dangers we face, our heritage and the responsibilities we have if we are to live in peace.

So it is up to you, the viewer, to decide what type of programs you want to watch. You can fill your brains with all sorts of muck about violence and killings or you can learn more about yourself and the world so that you can truly live like what nature intended you to.

The Dark Knight is Intense!

11 March 2010, 11:55 pm

If I had to pick one word to sum up The Dark Knight, it would be intense. This movie grabs you and does not let go for 2.5 hours.

The Dark Knight delivers on so many levels that it makes me want to destroy all of the other Batman movies in my DVD collection (except Batman Begins).

Writer/Director, Christopher Nolan, has done an amazing job here, making a sequel even better than the original, and turning a comic book into a crime thriller on par with films like Heat and The Departed.

Fair warning, though. This is not Iron Man or Spider-Man. The Dark Knight is, well, dark. The Joker is the most disturbing comic book villain ever, and the way that he is brought to life on screen is brilliant!

All of the praise for Heath Ledger as the Joker is deserved and not hype. I don’t even think that I can watch Jack Nicholson in Tim Burton’s Batman without cringing.

Christian Bale continues to shine as both Bruce Wayne and Batman, but, he really needs to work on his Batman voice a bit. There are moments when he comes across very nasally and I could barely understand what he was saying as Batman.

Aaron Eckhart is perfectly cast as Harvey Dent, Gotham’s “White Knight” district attorney, and Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel Dawes makes us forget about Katie Holmes in Batman Begins.

Gary Oldman really gets to shine as Detective Jim Gordon, and the always fun to watch, Morgan Freeman, delivers as always.

The Dark Knight will likely be the #1 movie of the summer, and professional critics are already talking numerous Oscar noms, including Best Picture.

So, don’t wait to see this one. Beat the heat outside and prepare to see one of the best comic book movies ever and the best movie of 2008!

Pimp My Ride vs Top Gear – Kings of Car Culture

10 March 2010, 3:13 am

Ever since Henry Ford spawned the internal combustion engine, petrol heads from around the world have worshiped the automobile.

Car culture expresses itself in many forms; there are a plethora of magazines which cover all manner of car topics such racing, off-roading and classic cars; while on TV two of the most influential shows currently on our screens are T`op Gear and Pimp My Ride.

Top Gear is a long running, award-winning BBC show about cars, and has been running since 1977. In recent years it has become more quirky and humorous and as such attracts a wide following, with some 8 million weekly viewers in the UK and an estimated 350 million viewers worldwide. But perhaps Top Gear’s greatest achievement is its wide appeal; a large proportion of its viewers are not car enthusiasts. The show is presented by the oft-said arrogant Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond (nicknamed The Hamster by his co-presenters), James May – a well spoken, long-haired hippy type, and The Stig – a mysterious racing driver whose identity is unknown to the public and who never speaks or removes his helmet.

The American show ‘Pimp My Ride’, which is produced by MTV has also met widespread global acclaim. Presented by rapper Xzibit, the idea behind the show is to take old, beaten-up cars, and give them a complete custom overhaul. Though mechanical faults are repaired to allow the car to run, the “pimping” of the vehicle is largely cosmetic; the bodywork is given a brand new paint job often including flashy features such as “go faster stripes” and hot rod flames. There is also substantial customisation of the car interiors, which is normally tailored to fit the particular interests or hobbies of the owner; for example a tenpin bowler had a special ball washer installed in this trunk, and a surfer got a clothes-dryer fitted in the back of his van.

The show has been very successful both in the US and worldwide and has spawned dozens of subsidiaries around the world, for example in the UK (presented by hip-hop DJ Tim Westwood), Italy, Germany, Brazil, and there is even an Arabic version that translates as “Spoil you Car”!

Both Top Gear and Pimp My Ride are important parts of media car culture which continue to inspire petrolheads around the world, and in addition to online car communities, motoring blogs [http://www.motoraddicts.com/blogs] and internet forums, these shows are an important part of a multi-billion pound automotive industry.

Invincible

9 March 2010, 4:52 am

Invincible Review

Available at Amazon Check Price Now!

The most amazing thing about the film “Invincible” is that even though he never got to see a Super Bowl, Vince Papale was rightly credited with making a contribution of his own in getting the Philadelphia Eagles on the right track by generating fan enthusiasm with his talent and athletic ability. Knowing what the Eagles’record was like immediately prior to his (and Head Coach Dick Vermeil’s) appearance, it would be very hard to disagree.

At the beginning of “Invincible”, the Eagles are an awful, awful football team. By the end of the film, everything begins to turn, and the fans in Philadelphia are going nuts! So what’s not to like?

I saw this film and went nuts. In fact, I liked the film “Invincible”so much, I got the book and quickly read it. The book “Invincible” was just as inspiring, but it gave me a much different picture of Vince Papale. While many athletes tend to embelish past accomplishments (The older I get, the tougher I was…) Papale is pretty clear in his explanation about how he got to be special teams Captain of the Philadelphia Eagles. That it mostly had to do with perseverance, stamina, mental toughness, and yes, luck. It a good read, but that’s for another review.

Anyway, Papale was physically very tough, but the choice he made for his college education wasn’t an NFL breeding ground like Penn State or Notre Dame. Even though he was recruited to play professional ball in another league, for years the NFL was a distant dream. What “Invincible” the film didn’t touch on was that Vince Papale had a great basis of experience to draw upon in order become a very good professional athlete. And it wasn’t just sandlot smashmouth football.

Papale’s background is something that the film “Invincible” doesn’t really get very much into. It can’t; There just wouldn’t be enough time for it, and to take a trip though Papale’s past athletic struggles would be too complicated for most audiences. Even though it’s very interesting, without all of that, the pace of the movie itself is just about right. The story unfolds gradually and doesn’t drag.

Mark Whalberg is a great choice for the part of Vince Papale. Although he doesn’t resemble Papale, Wahlberg can take a character and make him come to life, as he does here, in an “everyman” sort of way. I also really liked Greg Kinnear as Dick Vermeil. Elizabeth Banks as Janet Cantrell is pretty good too.

The soundtrack is period stuff, mainly. Some of it holds up well (”I Just Want to Celebrate,” “Funk, No.49,” “Fooled Around and Fell in Love”) and some of it doesn’t. Personally, I don’t care if I ever hear “Free Bird” again for the rest of my life…

Anyway, too bad about the Eagles in 2008. Close, but no cigar. At least the kid I saw in the the stands during the playoffs knew what the deal was. He was wearing his Papale Jersey.

Go Eagles!

Invincible Feature

  • Officially Licensed
  • Highest Quality Recording

Invincible Overview

INVINCIBLE is the inspiring true story of Vince Papale, an ordinary guy who, against extraordinary odds, gets a one-in-a-gazillion shot at living every sports fan’s wildest fantasy. Like the city he lives in and his beloved hometown NFL team, the down-an-out Vince (Mark Wahlberg, THE ITALIAN JOB) has seen better days. But then the Philadelphia Eagles’ new coach Dick Vermeil (Greg Kinnear, LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE) calls an unprecedented open tryout, and the 30-year-old bartender who never played college ball makes the cut. Now Vince needs every bit of his gritty, never-say-die attitude and enormous heart to survive in the high-stakes world of professional football. Heartfelt and triumphant, and filled with body-slamming NFL football action, INVINCIBLE will have you on your feet cheering for the scrappy underdog who helped his team rediscover its winning spirits, and in the process rallied a city when it needed it most.

Invincible Specifications

Walt Disney Pictures scored a surprise box-office hit with Invincible, and the movie deserved its good reviews as a fine example of how above-average writing, direction, and casting can turn formulaic material into something special. And make no mistake, this is a formulaic movie, with its real-life story embellished with Rocky-like enthusiasm, and lovingly crafted with the same quality of working-class humanism that made The Rookie a similarly popular Disney hit. This time, the inspirational true story is that of Vince Papale, a down-on-his-luck substitute teacher in Philadelphia (played by Mark Wahlberg in a nicely understated performance) who was 30 years old, out of work, abandoned by his wife, and biding time as a bartender when he answered an open call for tryouts on the Philadelphia Eagles NFL football team in 1976. Going with his gut instinct, new coach Dick Vermeil (Greg Kinnear) rewards Papale’s diligent efforts with a place on the team, and Invincible combines gridiron guts, low-key romance (as Papale meets his future wife-to-be, played by Elizabeth Banks) and blue-collar friendship in an underdog story that moves, with casual charm and abundant appeal, toward a rousing feel-good finish. Making good use of digital visual effects to recreate Philly’s now-demolished Veterans Stadium, director Erickson Core (also serving as his own cinematographer) tackles this heartwarming assignment with intelligence and flair, spinning gold from what could have been just another routine sports movie. –Jeff Shannon

Movie Posters

9 March 2010, 4:52 am

A poster is a flexible mode of visual communication and a powerful promotional tool. The movie industry has always been aware of the advertising power of this inexpensive medium of communication. Movie posters are designed by studios to build awareness about a film by exploiting the visual reach and appeal of this dynamic medium. Individual pieces conveying the essence of a movie, through pictorial depiction in a sheet of paper, have found immense popularity among the masses. It is difficult for even the most cynical to deny that movie posters belong to an entirely different genre of art.

Movie posters have long been in demand by collectors. Since the popularity of the 1970s vintage poster market in France, this hobby has caught up to the masses across various countries.

Moulin Rouge created history when it was auctioned for $220,000 at a fine art poster exhibition. Deciding on what is a collectible poster is a subjective decision. However, there are a few standard and obvious parameters that most collectors apply while considering a poster as a collectible. A particular poster has to be in demand, it has to be in good physical state, and the rarity of the poster plays an important role in such decisions.

There are different forms of movie posters. Advance movie posters, anniversary issues, award issues, combos, regional, premium, holograms and road shows are a few of the movie poster categories. Most movie posters are distributed by studios for promotional purposes.

A movie poster collector can keep track of the various auctions, exhibitions and museum collections and movie poster dealers with sources like Movie Poster Price Almanac magazine, Jon Warren’s price guide and other collector’s magazines. There are many online collector guides as well, like Jon Warren’s online guide. Most collectors vie for the authentic and rare studio-produced posters, and vintage, heritage and anniversary issues. The non-collectible posters are also desirable options for many. They are the reprints of video, cable and TV posters, and special promotional posters. Limited editions are also very much in demand.

There are many online movie poster dealers and distributors as well. [http://www.nostaligic.com] is one of the oldest websites on movie posters. It provides both original and illustrated versions of movie posters. http://www.learnaboutmovieposter.com provides all information about movie posters.

Movie posters are not just a collector’s delight. Many individuals consider them a visual treat and adorn walls and doors with posters of favorite stars and youth icons. Not all movie posters are expensive. The market abounds in many cheap options.

Army of Darkness (Screwhead Edition) [Blu-ray]

8 March 2010, 6:30 am

Army of Darkness (Screwhead Edition) [Blu-ray] Review

Available at Amazon Check Price Now!

By most standards this final entry into the Evil Dead Triology is the lowest. But you can’t overlook the films hilarious moments. Come on, who doesn’t love Bruce Campbell’s Slapstick mayhem, even if Sam Raimi is filming his torment for our pleasure.

I love this film as campy as it is, even if some of the versions of the film aren’t their best looking. The plot may not make sense and the slapstick mayhem may wear on people’s nerves, but it’s the final battle sequence that makes the film for me.
Chock full of Sam Raimi’s inventive camerawork, the gadget-building montages will make any gearhead sit up in wonder. I especially love that steam-powered truck near the end, with the big propeller blade on the front mowing through an army of rubber skeletons. Yeah, it’s on my wishlist for next Christmas along with the Dead Reckoning, lol.

Even when Bruce Campbell is fighting against his evil-possesed self, the one-liners like “I’ll spoil those good looks” since evil version is ugly as sin and “Backstabber!” when the Evil Ash tears the sword from his back keep coming.

The special effects are relatively tame and dated compared to today’s CG blockbusters. Fans of classics like “Clash of the Titans” and “Jason and Argonauts” (this one included:))will enjoy the stop-motion skeleton battle a la Ray Harryhausen. Even so the newly-budding KNB (Kurtzman, Nicotero, and Berger) effects group, responsible for the masterful effects of “Chronicles of Narnia”,” The Mist” and the zombies of “Land of the Dead” among many other films, shows their incredible standard of cartoony yet horrifically real monsters.

In all, I recommend this film for any fan of Evil Dead or Bruce Campbell. It’s definitely worth it.

Army of Darkness (Screwhead Edition) [Blu-ray] Overview

All primitive screwheads, listen up! Cult superstar Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead) reunites with director Sam Raimi (Drag Me to Hell, Spider-Man) to battle the deadly forces of evil in Army of Darkness – the outrageous, effects-fueled action epic that will make you scream with fear and laughter. Forced to lead a makeshift Dark Ages army against the demonic Deadites, who possess all the deadly magic of hell, the shotgun-toting, chainsaw-armed, reluctant 20th century time traveler Ash (Campbell) must save the living from the dead, rescue his medieval girlfriend and get back to his own time. One of the most popular horror comedies of all time, now digitally remastered and loaded with bonus features, Army of Darkness Screwhead Edition is drop-dead fun!

Army of Darkness (Screwhead Edition) [Blu-ray] Specifications

A movie that only true horror buffs could love, Army of Darkness is officially part 3 in the wild and wacky Evil Dead trilogy masterminded by the perversely inventive director Sam Raimi, who would later serve as executive producer of the popular syndicated TV series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Raimi’s favorite actor, Bruce Campbell, returns as Ash (hero of the first two Evil Dead flicks), a hardware-store clerk who is magically transported–along with his beat-up Oldsmobile and a chainsaw attachment for his severed left forearm–to the brutal battlefields of the 14th century. He quickly assumes power (who else in the Middle Ages packs a shotgun and a chainsaw?), and unites his band of medieval knights against the dreaded Army of the Dead. Raimi gleefully subverts almost every horror-movie cliché as he serves up a nonstop parade of blood, gore, and vicious sword-bearing skeletons–an affectionate homage to animator Ray Harryhausen’s classic Jason and the Argonauts. The frantic action is fun while it lasts, but even at 80 minutes Army of Darkness nearly wears out its welcome. You know that Raimi can maintain the mayhem for only so long before it grows tiresome, and fortunately this madcap movie quits while it’s ahead. –Jeff Shannon

Dans Movies – Popular Science Fiction Films

8 March 2010, 6:29 am

Dans movies offers very popular science fiction films. One is Dans une galaxie près de chez-vous. It was released in 2004. It is produced in Quebec – Canada. It became highly popular among all age groups. The film is a parody of big budget science fiction film like Star Trek.

The English meaning of the film title is ‘galaxy near you’. Earth has been rendered unsuitable for human living. A starship from Canada leaves earth for galaxy to find a living place for the people of the earth. A humoristic parody makes the film very enjoyable. The success of the film has prompted for the second galaxy film to be released in 2008.

Second film is Le Voyage dans la lune. The English meaning of the film is ‘A trip to the moon’. It is a black and white science fiction cinema released in 1902. Based on two popular novels of that time: ‘From the Earth to the Moon’ by Jules Verne and ‘The First Men in the Moon’ by H. G. Wells. It was written and directed by Georges Méliès.

A trip to the moon was technologically much ahead of its time. Animation and special effects made this film highly popular in its time. It was 14 minutes long. It is enjoyed even today as a classic science fiction movie. Two music videos have been made in recent years with similar filming like this movie. You can now judge the popularity of the original film.

Two of the David Bowie movies are also fantasy and science fiction films. First is ‘The man who fell to earth’. David Bowie plays the role of an alien from an outer planet. He has come to earth to find water. He gets lost in the power resulting from many of his inventions. This film has won him critical acclaims.

He plays the role of ‘Jareth, the king of goblins’ in fantasy and science fiction film ‘Labyrinth’. He is a mysterious but very powerful creature in the film. The film has been coined as a cult classic movie. David Bowie has enjoyed great film success along with tremendous success as a singer.

Kenny Rogers movies have also gained great success. He is an all time hit country music and pop singer. His films like ‘Long Shot’ and ‘Six Pack’ have been highly successful. He has starred in many films made exclusively for television.
