Yajimbo, being a black and white movie, has a superb camerawork, making extensive use of the widescreen shots, barren landscapes just like a classic western.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6775835-111401459659021002?l=pamri.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/PamrisRantingPost?a=CJPjaXpzxNg:5tJ_4AaRNQU:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/PamrisRantingPost?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/PamrisRantingPost?a=CJPjaXpzxNg:5tJ_4AaRNQU:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/PamrisRantingPost?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PamrisRantingPost/~4/CJPjaXpzxNg" height="1" width="1"/>pamrinoreply@blogger.com0http://pamri.blogspot.com/2005/04/yojimbo-roger-ebert-has-review-of.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6775835.post-1093785378497040392004-08-29T18:46:00.000+05:302004-08-30T23:42:12.460+05:302004-08-30T23:42:12.460+05:30<p>There is supposedly a trailer of Peter Jackson directed <strong>JRR Tolkien's</strong> <strong><em>The Hobbit</em></strong>, <a href="http://www.lathamfilms.com/hobbit.html">available</a>, which is supposed to be released on <em>December 19th, 2006</em>. Falling for it, I downloaded it using <a href="http://www.limewire.com/">Limewire</a> and can attest it is an excellent hoax, albeit one that somewhat makes you pine for the real thing.</p><p> <br />What gives it away as a hoax? There is no mention of the dwarves, only Bilbo, Gollum , Gandalf and two wood elves (who obviously are the ones appearing in lotr and i am assuming they are the wood elves). The Dragon fortunately makes an appearance but the <a href="http://www.lathamfilms.com/newhobbitsmaug.jpg">pinkish brown dragon</a> and the accompanying scenes seems to be straight out of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116136/">Dragonheart</a>.</p><p> <br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6775835-109378537849704039?l=pamri.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/PamrisRantingPost?a=8ncF19ROq9o:7tZOkaS_nns:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/PamrisRantingPost?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/PamrisRantingPost?a=8ncF19ROq9o:7tZOkaS_nns:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/PamrisRantingPost?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PamrisRantingPost/~4/8ncF19ROq9o" height="1" width="1"/>pamrinoreply@blogger.com0http://pamri.blogspot.com/2004/08/review-of-hobbit-trailer.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6775835.post-1093523350014988042004-08-26T17:59:00.000+05:302004-08-30T23:40:59.070+05:302004-08-30T23:40:59.070+05:30...and was the wait worth it. It was as good as the <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/spiderman_2/">reviews</a>. Unlike the first one, spidey's swinging bit wasn't the be all & end all and we finally get to see his nerdy behaviour. Of course, you miss the smart assy replies of the comics, but you have everything else: a strong villain, the non-geeky & balancing mary jane (ahem, little of the wet wet kiss!! :-( ), etc., Probably, the best comic book movie, ever.</p><p> <br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6775835-109352335001498804?l=pamri.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/PamrisRantingPost?a=WCcbBIrEir4:ChhAjvWvK_8:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/PamrisRantingPost?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/PamrisRantingPost?a=WCcbBIrEir4:ChhAjvWvK_8:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/PamrisRantingPost?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PamrisRantingPost/~4/WCcbBIrEir4" height="1" width="1"/>pamrinoreply@blogger.com0http://pamri.blogspot.com/2004/08/finally-managed-to-see-spiderman-2.html
