There Will Be Blood

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 10:46:00 -0800

There Will Be Blood is a critically acclaimed 2007 Golden Globe-winning and BAFTA nominated film, inspired by Upton Sinclair's novel Oil! (1927). It stars Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Dano, and was written, produced, and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. An epic tale of family, faith, power and oil set on the incendiary frontier of California's turn-of-the-century petroleum boom. The story chronicles the life and times of one Daniel Plainview, who transforms himself from a down-and-out silver miner raising a son on his own into a self-made oil tycoon. A movie that hits you like a fever, There Will Be Blood is not the type of story that gets told very often. A multi-layered portrait of all that comes with a desire for power, There Will Be Blood will leave audiences feeling exhausted and with a bitter taste in their mouths.

The Orphanage

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 05:56:00 -0800

When was the last time you were really, truly scared? I'm talking about that sensation when you don't just get a slight tingle in the back of your neck, but you can actually feel your muscles tense up. As someone who has seen thousands of movies, it's amazing that it can still happen to me, but I haven't been as truly terrified as I was during Juan Antonio Bayona's brilliant The Orphanage in almost a decade. But The Orphanage is a lot more than just an effective ghost story. It's a brilliant character study about loss and destiny that combines so many of the best parts of other stories that you'll almost feel like you've entered a dream state when you watch it. With elements of The Shining, Peter Pan, and even some of the best of Steven Spielberg's work, The Orphanage is a masterly crafted ghost story that might not even feature any ghosts. It's the kind of mind trick that recognizes that the most truly dangerous thing in the world isn't external, it's the fear that we create from deep within ourselves. As much as Pan's Labyrinth was a masterpiece of fantasy last year, the Guillermo Del Toro-produced The Orphanage is a masterpiece of horror.

Michael Clayton

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 03:09:00 -0800

"Michael Clayton" is a dramatic law thriller film written and directed by Tony Gilroy, co-produced by George Clooney, and starring Clooney, Tom Wilkinson and Tilda Swinton. It chronicles the attempts of attorney Michael Clayton to cope with a colleague's apparent mental breakdown and corruption within his law firm. With career-best work by George Clooney and Oscar nomination-worthy turns by Tom Wilkinson and Tilda Swinton, writer/director Tony Gilroy understands that the thrillers that really last are about people, not about twists. This is a well-made suspense film absolutely should get an Oscar nomination.

No Country for Old Men

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 10:04:00 -0800

The coldest, darkest, most vicious movie of the year also happens to be the most critically acclaimed. No Country for Old Men is 2007 film adaptation of the novel of the same name by Cormac McCarthy. Written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, the film features Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, and Javier Bardem. Faithfully adapted from the well-received novel, No Country for Old Men draws heavily on McCarthy's themes of chance and fate. It tells the story of a drug deal gone very wrong and the ensuing cat-and-mouse drama as three men crisscross each other's paths in the desert landscape of 1980 West Texas. If you like films that literally take your breath away, then this goes to the top of the list. No Country For Old Men is a hard movie to shake.

Together, We Will Live Forever (The Fountain)

The Fountain - Ending

«The Fountain» is a masterpiece which most people did not understand. «The Fountain» is a 2006 American science fantasy film directed by Darren Aronofsky that follows three interwoven narratives that take place in the age of conquistadors, the modern-day period, and the far future. The film stars Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz, whose characters' romance exists in all three time periods. The Fountain explores the themes of love and mortality, drawing influences from Mayan mythology. The film is framed with visual language by using transition scenes, light, and shapes. Not everyone will like this movie, in fact. It’s hard to believe that this got a wide release, as it is not a commercial film. It is an art film, a discussion piece, a beautiful poem about the fragility of life and the idea of forever.

Since the verdict must be rendered unanimously, the jurors revise the case and one by one come to the conclusion, that the boy was framed. The murder was performed by criminals involved in construction business. The discussion is repeatedly interrupted by flashbacks from the boy's wartime childhood. A perfect reality film to see. 12 different opinions, 12 different life styles and 1 suspect.

Ratatouille is one of the few animated films made for adults. It is the story about Remy (voiced by Patton Oswalt), a provincial young rat with a wonderful sense of smell, hates garbage and risks death to enter a human kitchen where he discovers real food and the cooking of five-star chef, Anton Gusteau. It's hard to belive but Remy wants to be a chef.The director Brad Bird has taken the form of animation and used it to teach people that we live in a world where you don't have to be defined by others.
