Cinema for 2011

Cinema for 2011

A new year should therefore be to begin, with its promises of amazing visions! But how will the cinema waiting for us? Here is a series of female faces to synthesize the demands of the new year:

I want a film that evokes the dream, for every appearance in Neytiri Avatar .

A film that stands in memory, resurfacing every crossroads in life, such as the presence of "persistent" Marion Cotillard in Inception .

A film capable of vehemence and passion, as evidenced by the wonderful Natalie Portman in Black Swan (Seen at the Venice Film Festival and one of the flagship titles for the upcoming theatrical release)

A cinema whose energy is always capable of surprising, as does the jaunty figure of Ellen Page, here in the "upset" Super , James Gunn.

a film character, but not always able to forget the simplicity and lightness, as Micaela Ramazzotti The first thing I beautiful.

And, above all, a film that is able to touch even just one shot, as happens every time we see the smile dell'affascinante Cécile de France, here in the upcoming Clint Eastwood Hereafter (which premiered at turin Film Festival).

Happy 2011 to everyone!

Christmas Tale Tron

Tales Christmas

With a touch of cynicism, I think we should "thank" the most religious part of that consumer if Christmas is a moment so central in the imagination of the world. It is more difficult however to find an image, a face or a movie that can be linked directly to the party and universal. The cards are upset by a thousand loose cannon that surge in our minds and often create the most unlikely connections. For example: someone has ever asked what has made a film caustic and absolutely brilliant (and diabolical prophetic) as a chair for two a holiday classic? Mystery! Suffice image Dan Aykroyd close to suicide to realize that there was more film away from the aura that often characterizes saccharine December 25.

would be more logical to elect evergreen ultimate party The story of Santa Claus Jeannot Szwarc, but anyone remember him? Thought surely with the intention of making an eternal "recurring" party, had all the elements of the genre: exploration of "truth" behind the icon, goodness lavished with both hands and even a little intrigue. Well, immediately fell into oblivion and is not seen around for decades!

Of course, not a matter only of standardization, because sometimes the neglect also affects projects absolutely bizarre. Looking for images to accompany these lines, I came across the little-known fact Santa Claus Conquers the Martians , Christmas-fiction film directed by Nicolas Webster in 1965, that since the title seems sculptural movie par excellence! Be recovered on trust, even if it is in the top ten of the worst Christmas movie of all time (link below).

Better then rely on established classics as 's a Wonderful Life, or even more the various versions of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens : The latest implementation, edited by Robert Zemeckis, despite the favor with which it was received, reflects quell'artificiosità that connotes all the latest headlines because of the author motion-capture that era's Avatar looks terribly outdated and not able to be warmly retro . Better in this case, choose one of the many transpositions earlier, I point to that of Disney, The Christmas Carol Mickey , although to be fair my favorite is SOS Ghosts (but what is more beautiful than the title Original Scrooged!), directed by Richard Donner Handyman dazed and gratified by the presence of Bill Murray, one of those characters that is not convincing in the final repentance never that much, and can therefore leave the door open to the idea that, yes , Scrooge has become good, but maybe not, who knows ...

Finally, a comic memory, with the mythical history And All Through the House, published in The Vault of Horror of EC Comics, with Santa Claus murderess, the inspiration for many films and was also an excellent implementation Journal of the television series Tales From the Crypt . And guess who was the director? Robert Zemeckis! When you say the case ...

Merry Christmas to all!

Tron

The computer programmer Kevin Flynn tries to conquer the Master Control Program Company Encom, to avenge its CEO Dillinger, who stole his research. The Master Control, however, is gradually evolving and is likely to encompass the entire global system, to become a real threat. Flynn finds support in Lora and Alan colleagues: it has also invented a new program, called "Tron," to penetrate the system and bring it down. Flynn, however, is hit by a laser beam to the experimental study of Encom and in this way can be found inside the virtual universe: here must fight alongside Tron to defeat the tyranny of the Master Control.

Now that the sequel

is about to invade the cinema, is rightly wonders what sense it makes to recover an authentic piece of cutting-edge buried in the dust of the past as Tron, which is likely (as has happened, see the first link below) of not being understood by new generations of viewers have grown accustomed to many other technological marvels. A product dated then, but that actually have something to teach, to the extent that it is contextualized when it was produced in yeast and that disturbed it.

It can seem surprising today the idea that a studio like Disney has packaged the which appears as a product sectarian and calibrated to a wavelength of a youth computer: Unlike today's titles that you can never withdraw from the well to explain the terms and staged the coordinates of the universe, not Tron is particularly concerned with these issues and at times seems to speak a language that is for the few. Clearly the fund underlying structure quite adventurous classical, with the group of rebels who must defeat the oppressor of the moment, but overall the collection is elusive and not inclined to universalism of the blockbuster film .

Tron, after all, is born at that particular historical moment in which New Hollywood is rebuilding the imagination, bringing to the fore hidden language and reality which might otherwise be marginal and is clearly the son of Lucas and positivism of the success of Star Wars . In retrospect, however, is more interesting to note the mutual influences of the film by Steven Lisberger had with the saga of the Skywalker because, although the basic idea is a paraphrase of the genuine struggle of the Rebel Alliance against ' Galactic Empire, in fact there are some who find the same visual Lucas will resume in the most recent "new trilogy" stellar, particularly the idea ship of galactic and design of cities (where we see the push and very little avant-garde classical impressed by the conceptual artists Syd Mead and Moebius).

Just the iconography, however, is the real battleground on which Tron is playing his game, past and present: in fact, seen again today, the film is striking not for dating are the effects, but that the world that creates it has no real ambition to be defined, or rather wanted to mark a difference and marked with the universe "outside". It 's still too early for comparisons, but from the pictures leaked so far seems that precisely this gap has been narrowing in the sequel (which, moreover, here we are expecting great things, criticism is not preventive), the illegitimate daughter of a conception of the special effect as a photo-realistic and therefore credible, despite its implausibility.

Again Tron based on existing foundations, which are those of the psychedelic culture: the virtual world is not an alternate universe that wants to be credible, but instead a fantastic bed that constantly rewrites itself according to logic difficult to define and flowing into the pure pursuit of the vision. As the trip final 2001: A Space Odyssey , folded to a logic precisely Lucasian, the altrodove Flynn is a real "trip" sensory sufficient unto itself as raison d'etre of the story. It therefore treats that sense of wonder that modern logic of the special effect has often lost in the name of obsession photorealistic.

the gap which then passes between the mathematical logic of the "programs" and codes necessary for the establishment of the virtual universe, and truly fantastic and immaterial space that is generated from this is the real point of escape allows the film to overcome their Outdated: Tron , in short, is not the result of a genius and an outdated technique, but contrary to well-defined stylistic choices and not replicable. In addition to a time when imagination still intended to ask for power and control systems based on the overthrow of matter and imagination.

It is no coincidence that the Flynn Jeff Bridges (choice of casting intelligent and terribly exciting in the light of future exploits of the actor as Starman and The Big Lebowski ) appears as a permanent alien, out scheme is in the real world (where a outsider) that the virtual (the only "creative" among many programs): is dedicated not to him the title, but it relegates the role of the interface to the viewer along the journey that will bring the reality on the fringes to become central to the new imagery.

Basically this is what Tron wants: to be recovered and understood in its essence, beyond the apparent ease and preconceived.

What To Wear With Nike Greco Supreme

Blake Edwards forever! We believed

Blake Edwards forever!

We are unprepared to greet artists such as Blake Edwards. It is not so much a question that we believe them immortal, but they simply do not accept the idea that they can leave. And if you do not run for some time (the last film, The Son of the Pink Panther , and 1993) we are always there waiting for them to return. Because in the end they always large, see Coppola, Malick, Carpenter ...

But Edwards, like Billy Wilder and Robert Wise, was not returned and, unlike the second, was not even become one of those directors-ambassadors cinema, which remain on the cutting edge and enjoy the tributes to this or that retrospective. Even his receiving the Oscar for lifetime achievement in 2004 had seemed almost a gesture of courtesy to us. Who knows, maybe it was aware of how his films have lacked. Than at the bottom of the viewer is always a bit 'selfish in his compel artists to continually return behind the camera.

And then we grow this selfishness, not simply accepting the fact that Edwards is no longer there. An old adage states that cinephile at the bottom of the artists we never talk about the past, because their deeds are eternal, but in this case the speech is a bit 'more subtle, because in the end Edwards the past has never really lived, he was already ahead. It was in that line between classic and modern, especially considering how its own thin film floating in the limbo that separates comedy from comedian and were able to cover a variety of expressions ranging from irony laugh at fat. Great storyteller and a skilled maker of masks, Edwards undergoes short that particular transference that leads him to identify himself with the legendary Inspector Clouseau (admittedly modeled after himself), but in our mind is instead replaced by Sir Charles David Niven will The Pink Panther : ironic, elegant, most astute and able to draw from the real fun.

In fact, if we then goes over his filmography, we realize that after all the characters are so Edwards: their perception is different from their real substance, even to just think of Julie Andrews Victor Victoria or Ellen Barkin's In the role of a blonde. A gap which outlines a continuous stylistic research, but also a sharp critique of madness that moves the world. What sometimes explodes with virulence dramatic, as in the little seen Days of Wine and Roses , a masterpiece that deserves to be recovered for some time. We hope that at least this is the right occasion.

1828. Domenico, Angelo and Salvatore are three young residents of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, who, tired of the oppression faced by the sovereign, decided to join the Young Italy, Giuseppe Mazzini and prosecute such a revolutionary ideal leading to the establishment of a unified Italian state and Republican. The three, over time, they must struggle with ideals frustrated, repeated failures, changes in the front, up to a unification that will be very different from what they wanted.

The use of the imperfect in the title lends itself to multiple interpretations: it is of course a symptom of an ideal political now lost, buried in a youth with high hopes but collided with the harsh reality: that, essentially, that has seen the fruit of Italian unification many compromises, intrigue and blood shed in vain. But at the same time, it is also the emblem of the desire to regain a period that itself was based on the feeling of belief in an ideal. This last aspect is what the writer Giancarlo De Cataldo has repeatedly stressed in interviews and public meetings, as the driving force of an operation to bring back the Risorgimento in the center of debate Public youthful, embalmed in the stillness school memories.

The intent, however, happens across the board, giving the enumeration of historical facts, denying the vision of the Wars of Independence, the Expedition of the Thousand, and even the most famous faces such as Garibaldi, depicted as a shadow on top of a coastal slope, one of the most exciting sequences in the film. Just such a moment, the only one where the film seems finally to embrace a fairly epic denied in the first part of the story, gives a good idea of \u200b\u200bmetaphor for the ideal that you want to pursue: the Myth of Garibaldi, even before his physical presence and historical. Because the myth is what really explains the feelings that animated the young people in the adventure to the liberation of Italy. In fact, the risk is too high to be mitigated by other humans the same way as that of Mazzini, as interpreted by Toni Servillo, instead becomes a true art form of comedy in his black suit perfectly "in part" and the expression perennially serious only in the delusions of old age can out of himself after the long string of failures.

Moreover, behind the camera is not a director any, much less an author to Michele Placido fully embracing the cause of the story of great scope to plot the coordinates of Italy yesterday and today, including plots and characters of great depth, tragedy and farce which inevitably coexist. Mario Martone vice versa is an author aware of the theoretical capacity inherent in the cinematic language and the evocation of the past, and why "his" Renaissance is first and foremost an operation on the very concept of staging a previously known for the interposition of memories already filed. It then becomes a past with a view to replace human faces through the space given to minors, and three friends who follow paths different (approach, the latter reminiscent of the film adaptation of Romanzo Criminale , also written by De Cataldo), but also a past that is a metaphor for a condition that would be poured into the present, from which some small anachronisms, the most obvious of which is the 'eco monster "concrete sticking out into the countryside.

More: Martone brings his reflection on the ideals of the Risorgimento to a level metanarrative also working on the concept of staging, evoking the rhythms of the old television series and a certain theatricality of language: the idea is that, when giving a hand in the past have written and reviewed, we can not escape the glare of what art and history we have infused over decades. More: how the art itself at the bottom was an integral part of that jumble of feelings and emotions that stirred those days thwarted. Here, then, that in addition to the attempted regicide that occurs outside a theater, just as important is the internal sequence, in which the public rejects a representation too bold and far ahead of time, triggering the reaction of a Cristina Belgiojoso (a beautiful Francesca Inaudi), which accused the people of his time not to understand those enzymes that art has already learned how to intercept wonders.

Therefore, the film is many things together, is the story of a failure but does not intend to accept themselves as such, but instead wants to be good arena for understanding the mistakes of the past, which often have the flavor pro- mistakes of this, it is also attempting to generate a healthy empathy for those people who believed, and it is also a lesson in cinema on the form of historical narrative and his ability to box genres from drama and the human family, to spy up to a final taste almost western. Expect the full version.

And 'I was a child I began to reckon how much further I would have been able to enjoy my wonderful dad. He has had a life fullest, sacrifices and joys, so strong and yet fragile. He showed me that left a huge void. I wanted to be ready, but I never will be ready. He did not see me studying, did not see me play football, he did not see my political engagement, did not see my great love for cinema, rock'n'roll and literature. I regret that it has not met the woman of my life and Lorenzo. My dad was wonderful in its simplicity, was one of a few words, but he was fine in the company. He made a life's work. The work was for him the satisfaction of every need. I know that despite the fear of my years I have been privileged to have as a parent, despite the few years together.

The Ward: The department

The Ward : The department

We are in the sixties. Kristen is stopped after an escape into the woods which culminated in the fire of a house: an apparently neutral and without reason, which gives it a detention in a psychiatric hospital. In particular, the girl ends up in a section (called the "Department") along with four other patients, all with mental disorders more or less obvious. A mysterious presence seems to threaten, however, and when the girls start disappearing one by one, Kristen understands that the only way to salvation is to escape.

an enclosed space is the ideal territory for John Carpenter has always been interested in concentrate its efforts in oppressive environments: the vision of the new and highly anticipated The Ward, however, makes clear how, rather than indoors, his film raises the question of the perception of a space, which can be volatile depending on the situation . In fact, the most interesting aspect of the film lies in its ability to make the Department (the "Ward" of the title) as a place "porous", in which the inmates can move freely, and during their escape attempts, uncover hidden paths and new rooms. Move along the corridors, the floors of the building and ventilation ducts, the girls are always accompanied by the camera, vigilant in the usual, masterful, trolleys carpenteriani that, once again, become the emblem of a look which becomes a mapping of space, in an altered perception because it forced a rewriting of the continuous spatial coordinates.

The viewer will thus also be forced periodically to renew his knowledge of the Department, in a game of reflections with the protagonist, who also will conduct a personal path of reconstruction of the self, until the final truth, so that repeating gap between being and appearance which is always in the bank of American cinema. There is of course an element of fun and great Master betrays the pleasure of staging of this protean environment, which produces a renewed tension along a concise narrative and capable of not missing a beat.

Thus we return to the question already raised in the past by They live or the hallucinogenic Ghosts of Mars, a favorite way to not lose the perception of self and get rid of the alien parasite that infects the body: the vision is misleading and space can be manipulated by external or internal, that traccino the line between reality and insanity. The perception of space becomes non-physical as emotional, related to the subjective condition of a protagonist who is through to the viewer, on which not only reflects the above-mentioned problem of cognition detention space, but also the feverish tension that often expressed through the film distorted the shots: these are the moments when Kristen is subjected to invasive therapies, to administration of sedatives, but also those which arise in remnants of his past, where perhaps lies the explanation of the initial act.

Despite this, however, the film does not bea possible distortions visionary, appearing instead in the very classic material and staging, according to a scheme that refers to Halloween : The intent is to rewrite the space of a reality that is still for the most part perceived as recognizable and shared, so just let it sit for a posteriori knowledge of the lie in place. In this sense The Ward is also noticeable as a return to the director turns through some typical locations of his films, anti-modern in a drift that makes it a pure example of film in contrast to recent trends of the genre. Carpenter in this direction was very clear in defining an old school horror movie made by an old school director and, like gentlemen like Joe Dante's The Hole seems to find the vanishing point in an example of the narrative material, which makes the story very linear and usable in immediacy.

We can therefore think of Kristen as an adventure to experience adjacent to the one in the same year saw the young Michael Myers hatch his madness under the watchful eye of Dr. Loomis in another psychiatric hospital: the bottom is limit is again a foundational period of the loss of innocence, as happened with the Sixties masterpiece of repressed Elvis and of the newly cited Halloween, up to the future / past array of western Ghosts from Mars and Fifties of Christine .

In all these cases is the common matrix of travel (on) a protagonist who must be conscious and aware of this lack of experience himself and his innocence, learning to introflex believed that evil come from outside. The ghosts, in fact, are once again the same.

Torino 2010

When, a few days ago, the usual press conference revealed the program is the Torino Film Festival 2010 was felt a strange sensation. Maybe I'm wrong, but the impression is that the quality of the choices have surprised a lazy press and the empty Roman hypertrophy (specious) arguments post-Venezia. As if the festival in Turin was a bolt from the blue which, with its promise of quality, arrived to disrupt the cards of those who had already made all possible budgets over the year.

Of course we must wait for the final edition, but even now it can be argued that such a surprise can only come from those who continue to underestimate the best film festival in Italy, an event that over the years has not never made any secret of prefer the quality and diversification of the names. Even though this time there: the coup to bring the highly anticipated The Ward John Carpenter I have already written (and the Master is also dedicated video from the Network of the week in the right column). Add time to close the huge entrusted with the new Clint Eastwood Hereafter! Other than the unnecessary dribbling of romavenezia Malick on yes / no Malick. The director of The Thin Red Line is an institution and no one could ever dream of to call it negligible, but there is much more cinemas in the face of these ridiculous catchy was literally put part. Here, I like to think that since the 2010 Turin Film Festival will return to the center of the things that matter, outside of everything.

So John Huston retrospective (which alone would be enough to close every speech), the "Confidential Report" dedicated to horror (finally back in the great sweep of the dark period after fasting Moretti), the program " waves "that promises to spark controversial THE Zombie without forgetting the proper tribute to his friend Corso Salani . Finally, the film represented an interesting Italian Alessandro Piva and for those who just can not do without a touch of glamor , here's a preview of Burlesque with pop star Christina Aguilera.

short, a powerful program, which others had a fun rattling off all the figures. Already, powerful: maybe a festival that has such a generous tradition of great cinema and great discoveries can also leave a moment from running hypertrophy, which seems fairly typical of those who must demonstrate its importance only by the numbers. It 'the only criticism prior that I can do. For the rest of the meeting room in the shadow of the Mole is renewed this year. And this is important.

Plot: London, 1842. Matilda is a poor in the crowded flower market in Covent Garden. But one day his life takes an unexpected turn: save the life of the little Tabitha, daughter of Reverend Milson, grateful parents and offer them the opportunity to move with them to America. From smoky suburbs of London Matilda finds herself in the crowded New York first, then the endless plains of the West, most recently in San Francisco Gold Rush. Trying to build a better life for themselves and Tabitha in the country of freedom, Matilda will know the passion and suffering. But it will be a meeting with Captain James Russell to reveal the true love. A feeling that resists isolation, war and prejudice. It is a difficult path to Matilda, a journey that will teach how life should be addressed However, even in the darkest pain, among the worst difficulties. The important thing is never turn back.

Comment: Let's start by saying that this is a beautiful brick, you are advised, well-written 775 pages thick dense. But be careful, fatigue and loss of vision are the lesser evil, here you risk indigestion and sensory disorientation. The novel is so hazy and humid atmospheres decreased in London who will feel cold initially and then as the young Matilda will depart to discover the world also will widen your perspective. You will see the desert plains of the West and you will discover many engaging characters. Recommended especially to those who feel the irresistible impulse to read, to binge on words.

Porco Rosso

Porco Rosso

1929. Marco Pagot is disappointed by humanity, and an airman who lives by this bounty hunter to the detriment of the hijackers. His reputation is undisputed ace of the Adriatic Sea and the people call him "Porco Rosso" since a curse caused him to take form of pork. Porco spends his days between such adventures flying aboard his seaplane vermilion, and evenings at the Hotel Adriano, where she sings her friend Gina, secretly in love with him. The events take an unexpected turn when the hijackers recruited an ace of the skies, the American Curtis, to defeat him. Porco is, however, help young Fio, who helps him piece together his seaplane and accompanies the adventure end.

The arrival in theaters of a masterpiece as Porco Rosso importance manifold: firstly because finally allows you to have available in Italian the entire filmography of Hayao Miyazaki (not readily available because of the still surrounding a few titles as Laputa and Nausicaa ), and therefore it clarifies the route taken by the author before the rise to international fame with the success of Princess Mononoke Spirited Away and .

Porco Rosso, in fact, more than just a piece of poetry is a sublimation of the themes and figures of speech dear to Japanese director: his reputation as a film halfway between paradigm and highlights from the Miyazaki film collides with a lightness narrative far masterpieces from the most recent, which provides us with a solar Miyazaki and amused in staging of this compelling epic adventure of flying. The fascination for flying, always present in the films of the author, is thus not a simple issue to be transferred aseptically on the screen, but is the result of a dynamism and lightness that the film makes its figurative at all levels. Suffice it to note that the film does not provide figures substantially negative, because even the enemies are still dotted with an irony that brings everything to the matrix of the game. The same figures that hijackers are not afraid of who deals with them and even letting themselves be dominated by a troop of girls in the roaring sequence original (which seems to look to the innocence of Totoro).

In this sense (and the atmosphere between the two wars makes this clear) Porco Rosso is a film by Miyazaki which establishes its role as a student over a conception of cartooning based on the study and coloring on irony and character as the common thread of the narrative. Always associated with the name of Walt Disney, the Japanese, however, shows that you have especially loved the lesson of the Fleischer brothers, over the Pagot which is linked by personal friendship and that pays tribute here with the name of the protagonist. The most interesting aspect, however, is the time lag that we are witnessing, as those attending the Hog companies in 18 years of its completion. The figure of the aviator and disillusioned that this will withdraw his hermitage in establishing a contact with the world above the factions, is the exact opposite of that with its castle quell'Howl moves to establish its non-membership a place, but in his heart for a simmering war that feels like a threat against which present and close and unleashes his magic. The disenchantment of the hero and then establishes a dialectic at a distance with the more mature Miyazaki, who seems equally saddened by the event and proceed to process this his frustration with the aesthetics of the disaster (Think of the nature of violence against Princess Mononoke or the tsunami of Ponyo on the cliff).

Here on the contrary, we are still at the stage where disillusionment is accompanied by an intimate hope of re-foundation of the universe, where the look of the film is directed with an everlasting love. And it is interesting to note that their re-establishment takes place through one of those female characters that the director has always raised to the protagonists of his masterpieces. The small Fio represents the balance between the oblique perspective of a pig element that is "more" than the real and the most problematic women of recent works that seem rather to bear the frustrations of the hero and the audience (think of it Chihiro Spirited Away or, even more, Sophie in Howl's Moving Castle ). Not by chance is just to rebuild the plane of Fio Porco, allowing him to return to again be one with his character and maybe it will just kiss her to break the curse, uploading his mythical figure of a major scale.

Porco Rosso is a film so astonishing in its linearity, perhaps even dialectical theory for establishing the elements of staging, careful in its documentation of reality but able to surrender the momentum of fancy of an emotion like laughter of primary sensations and visions of a magical elsewhere. It 'a film so capable of swinging from the real to the fantastic without showing it. After all, once again is a coexistence of opposites, beautifully summarized by the snout of the pig, which is never too remarked otherness in relation to the world around him.

Two or Three Things I Know About ... Saw

Two or Three Things I Know About ... Saw

I have already addressed the saga of Saw - The Riddler , but willingly go back "at a crime scene "at the release of what is presented as the final chapter. In reality there is an unwritten rule of horror under which the series should never have an end: to present a chapter that serves as a fact, only to revive the franchise economically (because the audience is lured by the promise of seeing "how it ends ") or, if you prefer, we can recall what theorized brilliantly by Wes Craven in his Nightmare: New nightmare: to kill the monster (or simply carry out his deeds) would mean that the evil and therefore represent to quotas in a defined vision, leaving space to the unknown and the reproduction of the demon in another form.

However, for a continuation or less in the coming years, it is interesting to analyze the return on the saga twists that it has produced in recent film, when the collection was inherited by new Riddler followers who have carried out the deeds. In the first instance it is absolutely clear that it has failed enough to break the unity of the iconic villain , classically designed, bringing the franchise to territories dealt with only by the more radical series of Final Destination . What in fact becomes paramount is the mechanism of the killings, which surpasses the identity of commits the same. Once past the age of masked boogeyman, the horror of the new millennium seems to come to some sort of complete self-sufficiency that stops you need the monster as a figure on which to project his most disturbing figure. Which of course opens the door too far from mundane considerations peregrine or the withdrawal of a kind that works as a mechanism and not as a story that conveys primary sensations. It is no coincidence that the last 3D Saw is also the film that has the least screen presence of star Tobin Bell, which the manifesto devotes a symbolic statue, a reminder of nature not as iconic as archetypal.

The film from this point of view is as much an arrival as a synthesis of a saga that was only hinted: the horror is cartoonizza, thanks to the need imposed by the spectacular arts stereoscopy which claims launched towards the screen and amenities like that, and then loses that figure had more dark and hallucinated that the earlier chapters, particularly those signed by Darren Lynn Bousman. Do not feel the pain of the characters, but instead we are surrounded by a mechanism that, without malice, think about the representation of death rather than the implications it brings. It can be reached in this way a kind of abstraction, which ends gradually to permeate the story its ganglia, through this continuous production of red herrings, returns on the scene and discovered new perspectives from which to frame the main storyline. And 'the logic of the television serial mechanism applied to the cinema, where the testing and break the linearity of the story becomes the only conceivable way for a public who claim to be surprised and stimulated so breathtaking. An approach which, in turn, produces a film in continuous mixing and based on self-cannibalization of their important moments, constantly tested, replicated and exhibited.

It 's a very interesting aspect of a saga which then proves to be perfectly versed in their own time. And that rewrites the history of torture porn recently, by projecting an image of suffering, filiato from the horrors of war and physical abuses, until its revision in key pop , typical of the industrial approach to the genre. We are therefore not far from the process of demystification of the typical drift in the thirties wore Universal Monsters to become ridiculous caricatures in various cross-over, but this time with more control and lead self-consciousness of the route that you are facing, so prevent a renegade deep assumptions.

For better or for worse is a aspect to keep in mind. Especially if he implicates mechanisms that are typical of the culture of the spectacle: the feeling you get when the film is that writers and authors have thought it - perhaps even unconsciously - on the implications related to the exhibition of violence in our present. It therefore stands out as an extraordinary moment refounding the prologue in which the Riddler implements one of his traps in broad daylight, in front of an audience of unsuspecting passers-by. Thought can run to the masterful Dario Argento's Tenebre, but here the meaning is different: not theorize the omnipresence of evil, which he performed in open spaces, reflect on what the proper mechanisms of the show of pain, made famous by format such as Reality Show. Two boys and a girl, a love triangle based on defined roles, in which the two must kill each other to save the beautiful. Which of course will try to convince one or the other to sacrifice for her. We are fully versed in the mechanisms that affect the small screen, in the flavor pornographic voyeurism, here reflected in the public, while scared, observe the events without taking his eyes ever, even taking pictures and filming the event with mobile phones. Perhaps this sequence is one of the highest and most intelligent of the series and ends up becoming deference and self-sabotage at the same time the concept itself. In fact, if the Riddler played more a sort of purity of the truth, it is true that acts in a way that the horror genre serves as a mechanism for its spectacular based on the exhibition of violence. We think therefore also continually violating the bodies from the traps, sometimes even desirable, as is the case with that of Jill (the actress Betsy Russell), knowingly playing with expectations and dreams of the audience, outraged by the violations, but also pleased by their staging.

in all this are the secrets and the interest of a saga that has managed to expand the original idea along the arc of seven films and that it should be reiterated, perhaps it is more interesting than successful, but in any case can safely be ascribed to one of the principal of the new decade.

Grendizer back on TV!

Grendizer back on TV!

exploded as a classic bomb back in the news television Ufo Robot Grendizer provided on an Italy from 9 January at 13.40 (the source is the blog of Antonio Genna, who spread their schedules Mediaset early 2011). It is a long-awaited event, which ends years of speculation, controversy and accusations between copyright holders and fans.

The fact that the series which, in essence, started the invasion of the Japanese animated series in Italy was also the longest one that was missing from our television screens was one of those absurd paradoxes typical of our country, where the search for the why and wherefore he always ends up distracting from the most healthy and intelligent passion, or the sharing and respect for the memory. In this sense, the fact that Grendizer had become subject to a few favored the emergence of sectarianism that often had little to do with the substance of the story and had made the same dead letter. What time will go instead to be alive, to the public yesterday and, perhaps, to that of today will know that this hero metallic taste vintage, never even dusted off for the many remake of classics of the past, and this was unique.

The operation So is looming is to recover a sliver of popular imagery and its recontextualization in a scenario unreleased or long forgotten, that of the general national television (not then a local network), just as happened 32 years ago with the then second channel RAI. Of course this brings with it a great question: that of the public will naturally Grendizer win, even with the weight of that production goes on the rump, also in a time slot has always been accustomed to listening to samples as exorbitant Dragon Ball , Detective Conan and One Piece . But these are speculations (legitimate) that you will do next. Meanwhile, the pleasure is for a television that seems to look with respect to a forgotten product. It 'very good news.

Generation Phenomena


The purpose of this post is to make justice a generation, those of us born in the late '60s (or take a year less), those who see the house purchased by our parents, then apply now 20 or 30 times as much, and who will pay their own up to 60 years.

We did the war (but some of us are now in Iraq or Afghanistan), nor have we seen landing on the moon, we have lived with the terror of the children's years of lead, which we did not vote for the referendum Abortion and our historical memory begins with Argentina'78. The national team with the most beautiful game ever.

us who have not directly experienced the '68 and we have always said that we did not have ideals. We who have been the latest PCI young people to vote, we Berlinguer Secretary and President Pertini.

Santa does not always brought us what we asked, but we are told, and still feel, we had it all, even those who came later, that they were all really ...

We are the last generation that has learned to play with marbles, hide and seek, to collect Panini stickers and playing one-two-three-star, while the first to play computer games, to be passed by parish or have seen the cartoon in color. We have called

paninari. We wore Levi's night and day with the cowboy belts, timberland, and those who could afford it, for all the other were the lamberjack ... our the first suit was blue with white stripes and no brand, our shoes (sneakers) were the mecap.

went to school when November 1st was All Saints' Day and Halloween, when it was still rejected the medium, and high school was a nightmare before.

We have been labeled as Generation X and we had to put up Twin Peaks and Beverly Hills (I liked them then, go see them now, you'll see that disappointment).

We cried for roots, we fell in love and Marianna Sandokan, we laughed with Fonzie, danced with Madonna, sang the songs of Vasco talking about us.

We are the generation that has seen friends die due to drugs.

We, the first to enter the world of work as Co.Co.Co. and those for which
not cost anything to fire me. We always remember events that took place before we were born, as if we had not experienced any historical event.

We learned what the mafia with the death of Falcone & Borsellino, we saw the fall of the Berlin Wall, and Clinton have improper relations with his secretary in the Oval Office ... we were the youngest victims of Chernobyl, we cried NO NATO bases outside Italy, not knowing very well what it meant, and then figure it out by September 11 of a stroke several years later.

We learned how to program a VCR before anyone else, we played with pinball and then Pac-Man and Mortal Kombat.
hate Bill Gates and believed that the Internet would be a free world.

We are the generation of Bim Bum Bam, the Drive-in and Mulino Bianco. We went to the cinema to see movies Celentano, Porky's and Back to the Future. Those

grew up listening to Springsteen and U2, and the last to use the chips to the phone.

We're thrilled with ET, Jaws and The Search of the Lost.

drank Fanta and Sprite and Coke, birthday and chewed the Big Bubble, at the supermarket the cashier gave us the sugar candies as change.

We are the generation of Haida, Grendizer and Remi, Lego bricks, the Smurfs, the Columbo and Kojak, Magnum PI, The Incredible Hulk, Rocky, Rambo and Sting.

We are those who still wonder who is stronger between Maradona, Zico and Platini. Those of the most beautiful in the world championship.


The last generation to see their father loaded the luggage rack of the machine beyond belief to go on vacation.

The last generation that made the barrels as of today there are pills.

Looking back is hard to believe that we are still alive: journey by car without seat belts, no special seats and no air bags, travel 10-12 hours and did not suffer from tourist class syndrome. We did not have gates with guards, cabinets or medicine bottles with child resistant closures.

We went by bicycle without a helmet or protection for the knees or elbows. The swings were iron with sharp edges and penances of the game was brutal.

There were no cell phones. We went to school full of books and notebooks, all stuffed into a folder that rarely had the padded shoulder straps, much less wheels, but they were the first Invicta and they were damn good! Magiavamo cakes and drank soft drinks, but we were not obese. At most someone was fat.

We attach the same bottle to drink and nobody was infected. We played just the lice at school, something that our mothers settle with washing the head with that soap that smelled of sulfur.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo 64, even 99 and Sky TV channels, Dolby-surround, PDAs, computers and the Internet, but we made merry tirandoci water balloon pulling and rolling around in the grass all day kicking a ball.

drank water directly from public fountains, bottled water, drinking even dogs! And the girls were following up under the house for them to touch her butt. We played with them in the game of the bottle or the truth, not in a chat saying cmq, xkè, TVB and putting the smiley.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility and we learned to dream small, and grow with it.

The phenomena of our generation ...

How Many Calories In Lamb Over Rice

pleasant reading for the summer evenings

I belong to a small and tiny group of nostalgic for which it is absolutely essential that the day will end with reading a novel. No matter how many and which manuals, magazines, newspapers, websites, blogs or whatever, to consult during the day. It is not to acquire the information I read before falling asleep. Read a book with only the light dell'abatjour when sunk comfortably in my bed is something that goes beyond its content.

It 's my private ritual of purification from the stress of the day.

the evening it's nice readers become omnivorous, rapacious and hungry ink. The only downside to this cathartic moment is whether to stay awake until dawn when the novel involves a great deal. But honestly would you give a reading voracious with more restful sleep.

So this summer I was in the company of the characters of Charlotte Link, author of a trilogy enjoyable (maybe not by hypnosis night, but still noteworthy). I started with the stormy winds, continuing with Perfumes Lost and I'm finishing a difficult legacy. Three beautiful brick, consumers are advised to written words, nice atmosphere and intriguing characters.

Felicia The story revolves around the first of a German family that since the First World War is at the heart of all conflicts and the vicissitudes that have involved Germany in the twentieth century. From the first defeat in World coflitto the economic crisis and the Nazis, the invasion Russian consequent division of the two Germanies ...

I must say that you lose a little 'to wonder about the fate of each character and often the facts are a bit' unwieldy. But the feature that convinced me is not the stereotypical female heroine ever married the wrong man and madly in love with a man who does not want it. 3 cabbage, and I say three, generations of women who have not learned anything from the lives of those who preceded them. Maybe a little 'too ...

But this is the only flaw, which has, in fact, it was also an honor because I spent half Oretta of good reading and many nights to sleep.
