Warwick Castle Ice Rink?

even an entire movie blog in a post

In memory of the great Kersh .

Since this blog in favor of the Advent in December was briefly absent, has accumulated so much film material that again an entire movie in a blog post is necessary.




Prolog
time I start with a well, the classic movie logo. The lion roars Jackie for almost 90 years before every MGM movie. Last year he had to shout there is not much, because the film studio MGM is so broke that it can finance neither clean nor Jackie's pen the new James Bond film.

Too bad, because how cool would it be Jackie's bloodcurdling roar (which impresses me as a child always has) to experience in Dolby Surround and the lion, even in 3D?

Here comes one of the oldest versions of the logo. From a time when MGM was the greatest of all movie studios yet. One time, considered a golden era, though on the screen everything was black and white.




supporting film
In Blogimblog will continue to live on the tradition that the movies unfortunately deserted Lion Jackie is: The supporting film. This time there is a documentary about a man from Cologne that has the Internet and at film schools something like cult status.
The film has touched me. Although it can be seen as a freak show. But actually he is about movies that are made of dreams. And of great loneliness.




An unspectacular years to determine
My five favorite films of last year during this time I do it. Actually I was - hardly impressed a movie really deep - in contrast to 2009. Not quite impressed, I of films such as "Mary and Max" and "Inception" was. But I was not really surprised at the cinema.



So I would describe as unspectacular 2010 cinema year, even if there was to see one or two very good movie. The future will show whether one of the 2010 film will be a classic.

Here my Top 5: 1st
Mary and Max
second Inception
third A serious
Man 4 Shutter Iceland
5th Alice in Wonderland

PS. I unfortunately missed, "Banksy - Exit through the Gift Shop" and "Carlos - The Jackal" to be considered. But I have two films in the sense that they had made it into the Top 5.

Viewed with: a friend, the film received three visits in a row given a birthday of mine, so I will discuss all three films back to back.

a movie marathon with three films by three clock with the movie "Three" to start is either something very magical, or an unfortunate accident. Probably in this case, rather an unfortunate coincidence, because unfortunately disappointed us all three movies a little to much. The plan, a German film, an exotic and a commercial film was to be considered.

The German film is that of Tykwer, written about very much and to which I was (to stay even with the stupid numbers game) got three opinions: first

Tykwer can produce great. The film is full of wonderful little scenes that shine in which the main characters and everyday things can be transformed into a bizarre microcosm. (For example, when a culture reporter reports an oil well in the middle of the city and thereby meets a soccer-playing scientists.)
second The film is told unconventional. First of all, Tykwer shows for 'Run Lola Run "again as a master the split-screen montage. As much as he probably did not get the same time another German director says in a minute. Tykwer also tried to tell the story is not linear and time again to turn into little side stories. The attempt to find honorable, but it leads to point three.
third Why should you be interested in all this? In essence, the film tells of only two successful and basically very lucky people to discover both the unfaithful with the same man, then, that they are alien to the same man and then just start working with him was. The film is free from real conflicts and steer the side stories (such as a cancer-stricken mother) meht often actually the plot off than they would enrich him. Repeatedly flashes the possibility that a wonderful and unconventional romantic comedy unfolds. But every time any conflict is nipped in the bud. The end screams even then, the beginning of the actual (and very funny) story to be. But many great opportunities are always left aside.

Scent of rain we saw then, "Milarepa" at. The film of the Kingdom of Bhutan, of which I have heard that there are charged every tourist daily 100 dollars to the government must, disappointed because he was too conventional. Okay, accusations like "What does he want now" please Write in the comment providers.

But "Milarepa" - the Buddhist legend is based on a - to work more formulaic than most Hollywood films. Milarepa is a boy whose family is treated badly. He heads off to be wizard is back, making the lower flat Dücker the family, has remorse and goes into a cave to the lessons to learn Buddahs. Opens: Part 2 in June 2011.

A Buddhist Harry Potter movie so. But each lacks the magic completely. No piece can shimmer, everything seems so ponderous and uninspired as the West German fairy tale films, which was formerly the magical DEFA films wanted the East to compete.

Skyline The film finally becomes so bad that I really want to waste no time trying to write about him. Finally, the scrap has already robbed me of two hours of my life. But since I've made up my mind, every movie I see in the cinema discuss here, I like it or not a digital bucket of dirt full of make and dump him now:

The script, the director and the effects in "Skyline" Effects of Spcial people have been made. And because that can obviously tell just from their daily lives, it's about special effects people in coolest porn Loft living in LA. The loft they leave the whole movie, not because they watch through the large window Parnorama how the U.S. Army is fighting against aliens. And loses.

sit Probably the effects maker in reality every day in a floor of offices in LA and look at computer monitors, where they see large digital spectacle. When she should write a book, they probably thought, "Hey, why do not we write about some effect types that sit in a high-Days in the Valley home and watch through a window a digital spectacle?" And did not realize that they wrote about themselves.
After all, they get what they have learned, very good point. So the effects.


Finish.

Book Review
A friend told me last week recommended a book that I read on a train, although scream the German cover and the German title after Nicholas Sparks .

"Our best year of all" is in the original "The Film Club". It's about a father, his son every week as the three films (or grandchildren, and that over three years, so the German title nor lard makes much less sense). The 16-year-old has dropped out of school, and watching movies is Papas way to make the boy to come closer to him and understand him.

I am always weak at father-son story (probably the main reason for my great passion for Star Wars), I was also on the autobiographical novel, very thrilled. At the same time makes the book incredibly good mind for a long movie nights and teaches the reader the way in film history. What is "Sophie's World" for the philosophy, this book is for the film. Only with a much better story.

Here is an interview with the two protagonists:




Spielberg'sches End
This time is the Blogimblog not do without Spielberg. Hach what I'm looking forward to December, when the hero of my youth, two heroes of my childhood to the movies brings:
