		<description><![CDATA[THE BROTHERS BLOOM is on the move again, the unfortunate victim of being an unusual genre movie a studio doesn't quite know what to do with.

For the second time, Summit Entertainment have delayed Rian Johnson's well liked con/adventure/comedy movie, this time moving it from a early January release all the way to May 15th, where it will run in a limited release for 2 weeks before going wide.


Originally the movie focusing on Adrien Brody and Mark Ruffalo as two con artists who meet their match with the eccentric billionaire Rachel Weisz was to open wide in October, after it's stellar play at the Toronto International Film Festival. The Weinsteins then decided to dump it to a quiet January release but after another set of good reviews at the BFI Film Festival, it seems they have had a change of heart and once again think the movie can perform.

May is the much stronger month for movies and shows the level of confidence they now have in the film but it's also the month where it will be up against the studio blockbusters.

On May 29th for instance... there's Pixar's UP to contend with. Anyway in the meanwhile, you can read both our ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I've had a few people e-mail me about the upcoming Egyptian epic AGORA, the new movie from Spanish maestro Alejandro Amenabar (THE OTHERS, OPEN YOUR EYES) and they keep telling me to think "BIG". Like really, really big.

CLEOPATRA sized big.



Rope of Silicon have come across some new photo's today which give us our first look at Rachel Weisz as Hypatia the legendary astronomer who whilst trapped in the Library of Alexandria attempted to save the world's old wisdom from the growing religious riots.

Max Minghella is the poor slave stuck in the middle between his love for his mistress and the freedom religion will offer him.





Remember, BIG...



No CGI Colosseum like GLADIATOR in this one...

LOTS OF AERIAL IMAGES FROM THE SET OF THE MOVIE HERE
AGORA is set for a December 2009 release.

		<description><![CDATA[Matt here... this is our second review of THE BROTHERS BLOOM. Our first was conducted by Daniel Faulkner, out at the Toronto International Film Festival.

He also spoke to director Rian Johnson for an exclusive interview, which you can read here.

Now, OWF's Mark Clark was at the LFF last week where he saw THE BROTHERS BLOOM and took the shots from the premiere which accompanies this review.



The con artist movie; film-makers are attracted to them because they provide an in-built opportunity for multi-layered story-telling, sleight of hand, a platform for tricks. But creating one is also a self-imposed test of nerves because if there’s one story type that’s hard to do well it’s this one. And the attraction for the audience? Well as the saying goes, an audience would rather be confused than bored

In Rian Johnson’s follow up to his mesmeric debut, the high-school film noir BRICK, he takes his chance at creative self-examination with his story about the itinerant BROTHERS BLOOM; a pair of con men first attracted by the possibilities of pulling the wool over cash-rich eyes when just a pair of troublesome boys, carrying with them a life experience of empty pockets and a collection of foster homes. ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week we are expecting to have some exclusive interviews and content for The Brothers Bloom, the follow-up from director Rian Johnson's exciting debut film Brick which stars Mark Ruffalo and Adrien Brody as two con men brothers who meet their match in the glamorous and eccentric Rachel Weisz.

Even though I let my feelings well known that the trailer completely lowered my expectations for the film, I still wanted to see it. These are fine actors, who very rarely put in a bad performance and the plot had so much potential and Johnson is a director I have been tracking for a while.

The news today though further puts doubts into the quality of the $20 million film which we are seeing at the Toronto Film Festival this weekend. The Weinsteins have pulled the movie from it's October 24th wide release and turned it into a December 19th limited release, they are clearly worried about it's commercial viability.


Depending on how the limited release goes, a wider one is penciled in for mid-January. This comes from the director's own message board...
There were a few reasons for the move: October and November are crowded as hell, it’s a tough tough market, especially for ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If I remember rightly the trailer for Rian Johnson's caper comedy The Brothers Bloom, the follow-up to his outstanding modern day film noir Brick was released the weekend before last, at the height of the Comic Con media blitz.

I remember watching it but not giving myself enough time to right about it, though I'm sure if the trailer had blown me away like I was hoping and expecting it to with the cast involved, then I would have found time to talk about it before now.

The Brothers Bloom features Adrien Brody and Mark Ruffalo as a pair of con artist brothers who take the extremely eccentric millionaire Rachel Weisz on a trip around the world, whilst at the same time trying to rob her out of money in one big last job. Great plot but sadly it looks about as cool as Johnny English rather than Ocean's Eleven, most of the gags don't work - it's way too light hearted for it's own good. Looks pretty appalling actually.

The movie opens October 24th.

Review by Matt Holmes

Film [rating: 2]

DVD [rating: 2]


Opening and virtually closing with a Norah Jones moody blues record, this episodic film of sensual moments, the evocatively titled My Blueberry Nights feels like a long drawn out and artful music video, especially when it's central lead is said singer/songwriter observing and learning about life through a brief glimpse into the lives of others.

At 3 and a half minutes long, this could have been a very satisfying side compliment to one of her singles as she vacantly plods through a thin MTV narrative that plays second fiddle to the arresting and decorative visuals - you know like how a music video is designed for?

However, At nearly two hours in length (itself cut a 15 minute portion from a bloated screening at Cannes) it's a long drawn out affair which like Blueberry Pie's - are delicious to look at but you really need some Ice Cream, some real flavour to go with it to keep ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to Times of Malta, we have our first look at Alejandro Amenabar's next movie Agora, an Egyptian epic based around the fourth century AD.

The film stars Rachel Weisz as an astrologer-philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria who fights to save the collected wisdom of the ancient world. Max Minghella plays her slave, who must juggle his desire for freedom by joining Christianity or giving himself up to his mistress.

It's Amenabar's second English-language movie after The Others. His films in his homeland include Open Your Eyes (the original version of Vanilla Sky) and The Sea Inside.

His intention with the movie is to make the setting as epic as possible - to make this feel real allowing the characters to not stand-out against the backdrop of what looks like a Hollywood set. It's very much a throwback to the kind of long-assed Egyptian movies of the 50's and 60's and is about as far away from  Stargate and The Mummy as you could imagine.

Filming began in October and should be wrapped sometime in June. It's the biggest and longest production ever seen on the small island of Agora and all being well it should hit sometime between September 2009 and November 2009.

		<description><![CDATA[The awesome Rachel Weisz who wisely didn't want to touch The Mummy 3 with a barge pole is returning to Ancient Egypt after all, for the epic movie Agora says Variety.

The film is from Spanish maestro Alejandro Amenabar, the brilliant helmer of Open Your Eyes (the original mind-bending thriller which got a Hollywood remake as Vanilla Sky), The Sea Within and The Others, possibly the best period horror film for decades.


Set in Roman Egypt in the fourth century A.D. Weisz plays astrologer-philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria, who fights to save the collected wisdom of the ancient world. Her slave Davus (Minghella) is torn between his love for his mistress and the possibility of gaining his freedom by joining the rising tide of Christianity.
Minghella refers to Max Minghella, the 22 year old English actor who appeared in Syriana and has a large role in the upcoming British drama Hippie Hippie Shake. The dude was 13 when Weisz burst onto the scene in The Mummy. Nine years later he goes to Egypt and will likely get a love scene with the ultra hot Weisz, the god damn lucky son of a bitch!

I really like the work of Amenabar, a guy who remarkably seems ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This will probably be the first publicity for the average movie fan who will now be very much aware that Rachel Weisz is not returning for the flick. I wonder how much of an effect it will have on the financial success of the feature.

It certainly will effect the movie quality wise, I think we all know that..

The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor opens Aug, 1st (U.S.) and Aug, 7th (U.K.) from director Rob Cohen and will star Brendan Fraser, Jet Li, Maria Bello, John Hannah, Michelle Yeoh, Anthony Wong, Luke Ford and Isabella Leong.

Maybe it's the Valentines day mood, or the fact that it tried something different with the romantic comedy formula but I kinda liked Definitely, Maybe when I didn't really expect too.

Set in New York and changing the usual structure of a formulaic romantic comedy, Definitely, Maybe is told mostly in flashback by loving father Will Hayes (Ryan Reynolds) as he gets cajoled by his daughter Maya (Abigail Breslin) after her first and premature sex education lesson at school, into telling her the story of the three big romances of his life, changing all the names of the women involved so that Maya would have to keep guessing over which one is her actual mother. The intent of course is to keep the privacy of those involved but also to keep Maya interested in the story and it's a neat framing device for us an audience.

Thankfully the three women aren't overly stereotyped. There's his childhood sweetheart Emily (Elizabeth Banks), the flirtatious young April (Isla Fisher) ...]]></description>

Review by Michael Edwards

[rating: 2.5]

Wong Kar Wai's latest release is his first English-language feature film, and his linguistic switch certainly doesn't appear comfortable. The story begins in New York and follows a simple template: Elizabeth (Norah Jones) breaks up with her boyfriend and begins to confide in charming Manchunian cafe owner Jeremy (Jude Law). They bond over blueberry pie before Lizzie sets out travelling across America in search of herself. Standard road-movie/emotional journey set up.

As she crosses the States, working various menial jobs and saving her money to buy a car, Lizzie (or Betty, or Beth) encounters a series of people who each have something to teach her. But most importantly they all provide an aesthetically pleasing canvas for Wong Kar Wai to deploy his classic visual hallmarks. Largely occupying Hopper-esque settings of transience to emphasize the thematic overtones of loneliness, isolation, and thus self-contemplation, we are treated to frequent bouts of manipulated frame rates, saturated colours and aggressively wistful non-diegetic ...]]></description>
