		<description><![CDATA[BLINDNESS, the third film from Brazilian film-maker Fernando Meirelles opens in the U.S. today but you can preview the first five minutes of the movie in full at Yahoo and decide if it's something you just have to see.

Based on the much lauded Jose Saramago novel, the movie revolves around a wild city epidemic which causes instant "white blindess" and stars Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Alice Braga and Danny Glover.



Almost venturing into that kind of fake real acting found in THE HAPPENING, I would say the sequence is pretty successful. It is almost like a talented director working from a M. Night Shyalaman script, this is the kind of interesting results you can get.

Though the critics haven't been so kind, BLINDNESS currently scores a 40% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

With this story, we might finally see Meirelles be a little quieter and steadier with his camera. That is a very good thing indeed because I nearly walked out of THE CONSTANT GARDNER because it started to make me feel sick.

Sadly, the movie doesn't open in the U.K. till November.

		<description><![CDATA[One of the worst experience of watching films in recent years was when I sat down and endured the sickly shot and vastly over-rated movie The Constant Gardner.

I could understand the important message of the film, I thought it was decently acted but I couldn't help but feel director Fernando Meirelles was being a little self-indulgent with his film-making in his Hollywood debut.

So frantic. So desperate to go to the next scene or shake the camera because it will add some tension. I hate to say this but the film felt like it was fraud, I dunno I just couldn't buy into it at all and it made me feel a little sick. I struggled through it like a visit to the dentist.

So brings us to the director's next movie Blindness about a sudden epidemic where the people randomly in a certain town are starting to turn blind.

Ultra-boring thriller actress Julianne Moore (I think she sucks in this genre anyway), Mark Ruffalo, Gael Garcia Bernal, Danny Glover and Alice Braga make-up the cast.

Looks sickly as ever. I don't know why but there is something about the way this guy makes movies that I really don't like. I'm getting a Children ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Fernando Meirelles, the director of CITY OF GOD, A CONSTANT GARDNER and the currently filming adaptation of Jose Saramago's dramatic novel BLINDNESS (w/Mark Rufallo, Julianne Moore and Gael Garcia Bernal) has been offered the job of directing Paramount's in development movie BY ANY MEANS NECCESARY.

It looks like he might accept the job too, undoubtedly his biggest picture to date... if it doesn't clash with his schedule on his next film.

If you couldn't guess from the title, the movie is the next film in the Jack Ryan franchise which we reported earlier this week controversially wouldn't be based on Tom Clancy's writings and if talks are successful, would star Ryan Golsing as the fourth actor to have played the CIA agent on screen after Harrison Ford, Alec Baldwin and Ben Affleck.

Meirelles is a highly respect talent in the industry and it's no surprise to me that his name has become in-demand for such a feature like this. Although I wasn't a fan of the way he shot A CONSTANT GARDNER, I did think his work on CITY OF GOD was absolutely terrific and if he could bring that claustrophobic "danger at every corner" atmosphere and high adrenalin rush running through ...]]></description>
