Strange day for vampires. Near Dark


Before Twilight and New Moon saga , before the vampires beautiful and no more damned before True Blood, The Vampire Diaries , Supernatural and TV company, there was her. Kathryne Bigelow. Before Blue Steel and Point Break there Near Dark (Darkness approaches ). It is 1987 and the young American director throws down a script to duet with Eric Red, who also wrote the cult horror The Hitcher (1986) and then behind the camera for the wonderful (and sadly forgotten) Cohen and Tate (1988, Italy in the past as Cohen and Tate ). The horror experiencing a particular period: Romero is in the process of melodramatic Monkey Shines, Carpenter is clinging to the anarchic telecrazia They Live, the new Cronenberg torn flesh fly and inseparable Jeremy Irons and Jeremy Irons, the gasps of our national terror cats Opera in the brain and crows. Thus the Bigelow has a different idea than usual for his first film set a classic vampire story starring young, beautiful and damned, in the hot sun of Oklahoma.


Caleb from the soul is a handsome rough and gentle at the same time: his best friend is a horse. One night he meets the charming Mae and does everything to seduce her, including giving her her neck. Without knowing that she is a vampire and is part of a crazy gang made up of a couple, Jesse (beautiful face wrinkled by Lance Henriksen) and Diamondback, a sadistic psychopath named Southern Severen (Bill Paxton is a very credible) and Homer, a man in the body of a child. Caleb does not want to kill to survive and satisfy their thirst for blood. He must do when kidnapped by five and forced to beat the dusty streets of the U.S. in search of the sacred nectar red. Only love can save his soul, traced the path of righteousness by the presence of the father and sister Sarah, traveling on his trail.


A rather banal plot, carried out with wrist superb narrative and dialogue peppered with some illuminating. The Bigelow declines in the men's classic story of impossible love, plunges the vacuum and the dark interior of the characters nell'afosa heat of Texas, memorable turns pages of great cinema when it evokes the first kiss of Caleb and Mae with a slow motion, and thrilling besieging the circle of freaks in a motel with the wisdom of a western of yesteryear. Sexual feelings and voracity of the stomach are held in check, there are other links to be preserved. Instincts which inflate fears and obsessions, among temptations melodramatic action and explosions overflowing. An extraordinary visual talent, surrounded by lights typically eighties and focuses on the worst-marginalized, different social status and ethical choice. Near Dark is also this: the body of the film that changes, that needs love, blood and violence for its sole purpose. Survive.

Be blinded by the night. The feel? It will be great.

Groping In Train 2010

us know. And we know you. Avenge


Sam Peckinpah, Jean-Pierre Melville, John Woo and Tsui Hark, Johnnie To is only . Director only for the purity of his camera eye reveals that impossible paths (those of the bullets that pierce the bodies and souls sink) and tortuous personal paths (those of strangers who become brothers). Avenge ( Fuk sau , 2009) is his latest work, presented at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival in May 2010 and only distributed in Italy by Fandango (despite having been awarded the Black Lion for best film at the Noir Film Festival Courmayeur). An idea of \u200b\u200bpure cinema that Johnnie To, who chooses as protagonist of the story the stone face of Johnny Hallyday. It is no coincidence that the character played by French rocker is called Costello, Frank as the "face of an angel" of Melville, Jef samouraï that the face was sad and lonely Alain Delon (he originally called da To per il ruolo del padre in cerca di vendetta).


Solitudini che si incontrano tra Parigi, Macao e Hong Kong. Senza ritorno. Costello vede la sua famiglia distrutta nel giro di un attimo. Neanche il tempo di un pranzo e tre killer uccidono suo genero e i due nipotini. Non potevano fare altrimenti. La figlia è salva per miracolo. E chiede vendetta. Fino a che punto può arrivare un uomo per soddisfare questa sete? La risposta è nel percorso di purificazione che compie. Prima tappa Macao, per assoldare tre killer spietati, i migliori. Kwai (superbo come sempre Anthony Wang), Chu e ‘Fat’ Lok. «Non esiste solitudine più profonda del samurai, se non quella della tigre nella giungla». There is no stronger bond than that which is created between people who have given their word. Seem to see Pike and Deke: "He gave his word. No matter whose. " "Instead matter." At the risk of turn against its leader, the instigator of the massacre. The three arms are from Hong Kong. The shooting of seven in the woods is a concentrated fury to send a visual memory. Like the table spread that scans every single action of the group. As evidence of the old, worn, pleasant obsession that Asian cinema (especially that of To) 'feeds' to the food.


A paradox is the true nature of Costello is a chef, does not touch a gun for twenty years. Because in the past was a killer. A bullet entered the head and cause continuous loss of memory. It may thus make sense to revenge? Sure, as long as the target passes in front of trash cubes into a graveyard of objects, absurd polariod, languid eyes, sudden flashes of a 'gunfight' infinite. A sad and ironic lyricism, which is steeped in four kicks a ball in the company of a bunch of kids and a sardonic laugh, release, before a bowl of rice. The rain keeps falling, the clouds deep left field for a beautiful moon, lights and shadows like the holes that fill with blood. Stillness and movement. A space full of bodies that embody deep ethic. Almost unthinkable today. Like slow motion to expand the time and praise to an endless night.
Wonderful, crazy Johnnie To.

Vintage Eterna Watches 40s

from cinema to cinema: Avatar


Let's face as well, James Cameron is an author with a lowercase "a". Creator of unimaginable fascination, a maker of magical visions and fantasy worlds. Always a step ahead. Mastermind behind the paths of celestial Terminator and Aliens , The Abyss and Terminator 2 . Even capable of 'moving beyond' the simple story of love, shipwreck technological imagination of the Titanic and flying in helicopters from catastrophic fire in rubbish True Lies. Avatar , almost ten years of preparation and hype unusual, is his most accomplished. As well as passes for the final who believes the turning point of the Seventh Art. From the vision comes out in the hall if stunned, not only for the grandiose (and intrusive) stereoscopy. Even after half an hour because of the wrap-around computer screens, the army engineering space and the pristine nature of Pandora (identical to the works of Roger Dean, you know the album covers for Yes?), Leave space considerations, scattered, often annoying.


First observation: the screenplay. Avatar film is trivial. A mixture of Dances with Wolves, Braveheart 300 sauce and sci-fi. History simple and schematic. Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) is a marine with no legs, the brother of a scientist and a team headed by Dr. Augustine (Sigourney Weaver, nice to see that smoke in their lungs!) Has developed the project Avatar. To mark the program which is a mental life of the body (the avatar, of course) created in the image and likeness of Na'vi population that inhabits the planet Pandora. Everything's fine until you discover that the sacred tree of Na'vi resides on a field that is worth all the energy of the universe. Hence the long hands of the government and army to infiltrate Sully and "convince" the natives to "donate" the wealth. Obvious that the contact with people from the soul so pure it will be for the young soldier to be reborn at a new life and fight for the liberation of what he considers his new world. Long live peace and cooperation among the nations, even some snakes heroism made in the USA and is always a time of heroes (U.S.). Each other like the characters so flat, pace of references to current socio-political American (or global) and the symbolic resonance (pantheism and animism of carry-over) leaving the time they find. So much so that the only character to emerge is the most disgusting bully, that Colonel Quarich played by Stephen Lang who is all action and reaction. Involved from start to look. Cuts, scratches and fractures included.


said the substance remains the form. The 3D is an amazing toy. The dive into the depth of vision is something amazing. A sense of reality and fantasy ever. The colors, plants, animals, movements. Even the trajectories of projectiles. And then, more than is justified the simplicity of the subject's eye is so drawn and "distracted" that rarely come on time and how to think about anything else. Besides, there is no room for mythology in the nuances. However, doubts soon emerged. The three-dimensional world is the true revolution of cinema? No. At least if in the future will not be supported due to the 'pulp' fiction. The Pixar animation teaches. The real news will tell a story with a similar method. Avatar seems rather the investment of major combat piracy and to bring people (especially boys) to the movies. In the words of Edgar Morin, a return to the cinema cinema. A phantasmagoria century flavor, as the famous train that was run by the Lumière salt people afraid. But Avatar is - at least in Italy - the representation of anthropological and social tragedy that we live in this first decade of 2000. Hordes of kids stuffed hot dog, coke and stupid comments, mothers and fathers who fail to curb the intrusiveness of misbehaving children, people who are not entering into a room at least twenty years; applause at the end projection model trip by plane, leaving the teenagers viewed with 3D glasses and find them so the street or by tram. Sorry to think that this is a sideshow that produces the show. Pure smoke and mirrors. Not the Cinema.
to applaud you only have operators who, with € 10.15 per ticket are rubbing their hands with a grinning pair of designer glasses.
