Status: Out of Competition

For the second time in a little over 48 hours I find myself confronted by a film that is so much an expression of its director's artistic manifesto that its identity is difficult to remove from his own. Terry Gilliam, like Tarantino, asks his audience to buy into his ethos: to accept that the film he is presenting is not necessarily going to be a commercial or critical success, but that it remains true to what he has set out to achieve across his whole canon of work. In that respect the film does not disappoint- Gilliam creates a familiar dream-scape mixed with garish pallet and sweeping surrealist bursh-strokes, and he doesnt go as far as letting such a trivial thing as the traditions of narrative get in the way. For this director at least, the story is merely a way for the audience to buy into Gilliam's imagined world, to marvel at his artistic vision, and allow themselves to be taken over by the escapist fantasy of the film. The fact of the matter is, even the most ardent Gilliam fan couldnt really tell you what Brazil is about, or offer any kind of evaluation of Fear ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just like they did with WALL*E, Pixar have done a great job keeping the second half of their movie UP a secret as long as they have. 

At this point, we don't really know what happens to our leads Carl and Russell but thanks to /film, and this might be considered as a spoiler for some, we now have a good glimpse of how the villain, Charles Muntz, will look.

Here he is in toy form. The character will be voiced by Christopher Plummer...



The image comes from a French Pixar Blog.

UP from the makers of MONSTERS, INC. and will be released on May 29th in the U.S. and October 16th in the U.K. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Filming one week from today in Germany will be The Last Station, a drama that will explore the turbulent final year in the life of the Russian writer and philosopher Leo Tolostoy and his troubled marriage to his wife Sofia.

Christopher Plummer (as Tolostoy) and Helen Mirren (as his wife) will topline the film replacing the previously cast Anthony Hopkins and Meryl Streep. I think that's a swap we can all live with, don't you?

Also in the film are James McAvoy and Paul Giamatti.

Michael Hoffman is behind the camera. He once directed an adaptation of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.


Giamatti plays Tolstoy's trusted follower Chertkov, a supporter of the writer's nonviolent socialist Christian movement who becomes Sofia's cunning adversary, while McAvoy plays a naive private secretary sent by Chertkov to work for Tolstoy. British actress Anne-Marie Duff, who is married to McAvoy, stars as Tolstoy's daughter Sasha.
The $20 million Warner Bros. film is based on a 1990 book by Jay Parini.

Plummer as Tolostoy sounds a little more fitting to me. There's no doubt this going to be a terrifically acted movie and with the presence of a director who adapted Shakespeare pretty well (not an easy task), this could be a ...]]></description>

Review by Michael Kaminski

The life of Alexander the Great is such an ambitious and complicated subject matter that it would seem nearly impossible to translate it into a motion picture; the many sides to his personality, the vast cast of characters in his life, the complex political context he existed in, the immense scale of his life, and the uncountable deeds he did, tangled in a web of ambiguities, contradicting history, controversy and necessary interpretation. But if there is one person adept at tackling ambitious subject matter, it is Oliver Stone. Particularly suited to Alexander, he was in fact intimately familiar with the subject matter, having held a life-long personal interest in Alexander the Great. He sought to bring to the screen a portrait of the man that examined his personal life, without censorship, but that was also meticulously detailed and historically accurate, and on a scale that had been seldom seen in even the ...]]></description>
