Who To Call If First Sergeant Drunk On Duty

Roundhouse and Its visuals augmented Kinect

not always the black box must be something tragic accident and many lives shattered. this time will not.
sometimes can be a magical place where the senses come together to form something that can surprise us, leaving a new trail after his vision.
all this could not happen in Camden Town, the place where the alchemy of music and his spontaneous live trials, feeding from the sap of Young always eager to create something new. concediamoci poetic license, since there will be no guitar solos and hoarse voices to color what we are talking about.
is the time of technology.
all this is done in a simple myspace, where a normal stream is transformed into an environment in which images caress the music.

Oscar 2011: Conclusions


the end won the day Tom Hooper and his "Speech of the King . The film took home four of the 12 nominations who had been nominated, in my honest opinion undeservedly. Winning a third of the premiums can still be considered a signal of interest to testimionianza of how this film was not so powerful compared to how it was spoken. But the victories of Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Picture and Best Actor (which we already knew he would win by three months Colin Firth!) They automatically take the "label" of film of the year .

Incredibly, it indicates a real failure " The Grit" the Coen brothers. Candidate Nomination in 10 and came home with prizes 0. A beautiful film, which had the misfortune to be invited to a party not his, that at this point is likely to compromise awfully like a failure.

Who sparked much controversy had been " Inception", starting from the failure of eslcusione from the list of Best Director Christopher Nolan (see how it went, and would be gone: Better Things !). so bad but the film Nolan just did not go, because at 8 Nominated has brought home half . All technical awards is true, but nothing as bad as the media, whereas it was the feast of the King!

At this point it is assumed that the losers was the most deserving films: "The Social Network . Nomination 8, took home three awards . Best Editing, Best Soundtrack (beating the favorite of Inception Hans Zimmer) and the most important one to win Adapted Screenplay by Aaron Sorkin . Sorkin knew we would win, would be a coup not pressed. But since the fold which then took the evening, I do not know whether we should be grateful to the "Speech of the King" was nominated for the Original Screenplay!

The rest goes without saying, starting with Colin Firth as Best Actor . If we talk about the merits, I would be honored to Jeff Bridges "The Grit" , but as Firth had never won an Oscar and Bridges had already won last year, I think the end is just so .
"The Fighter " wins 2 awards out of 7 for both Actor: Christian Bale and Melissa Leo .
" Black Swan" ("The Black Swan") smiles thanks to Natalie Portman who is the Best Actress.
"Toy Story 3" is the Best Animated Film and the Best Foreign Film is " In a better world" by Susanne Bier .

Oh I forgot, Roger Deakins still loses the award for Best Cinematography that at this point I will never win (I think is the ninth Nomination!). The " our " Antonella Cannarozzi , the only Italian present at the ceremony, a candidate for the Best Costume the film "I Am Love " had to bend down to Alice in Wonderland by Tim Burton, who has returned home with well, winning 2 awards the best scenario.

Putting aside the awards, the evening noiosetta has been somewhat, if it were not for Facebook and commitment to score the winner in each category, I think I would have fallen asleep easily!
Anne Hathaway and James Franco were a little ' embarrassed and excited. shame because the film begins with winning on the gag had hope, it seemed almost The MTV Movie Awards. But instead it was all too simple and rigorous, it was the presence of the King, but I expected a lot more entertainment and comedy.

This year is all about.

Bow to the King and his speech ... but not too much!

Does A Camera Flash Hurt A Baby's Eyes

The Next Three Days - Review

John (Russell Crowe ) and Lara ( Elizabeth Banks) are an ordinary family. Parents of Luke and both with good jobs, living a comfortable life and happy. Their family balance is upset when suddenly one morning, Lara is accused of murdering her boss. John will do anything to prove that his wife is innocent, but when every legal method will prove futile and the imprisonment of Lara now inevitable, will be forced to use alternative methods.

remake of French film " Pour Elle" ("Anything For Her ") of 2008, "The Next Three Days" is the third film from director Paul Haggis signed , writer appreciated thanks to the success of "Million Dollar Baby "And" Crash "-which also won the Oscar for original screenplay." It 'was thanks to "Crash " which, in 2006, Haggis has made the leap in the dark 'has seen the Biro (or MacBook!) camera. A choice that so far, there seems to be very intelligent.

Using a cast seemingly made excellent Russell Crowe, Elizabeth Banks, Olivia Wilde and Liam Neeson ( in a tiny cameo), this latest film is not only full of errors but it is impossible to overlook too heavy to digest.
Starting with a script that does water on all sides, where an ordinary man driven by the force to reunite the family and the belief of the innocence of his wife is a bit sudden '"John Dillinger" and a little' James Bond "and thanks to Youtube and Google quickly turns into a criminal (almost) professional. Far too excessive to be credible, even under stress would not be possible. Helping the film we do not even put the rhythm in the action thriller usually knows how to be a great asset, whereas there is very little sustained and accelerated. It is really hard to digest after the movie scene scene, and the duration of two hours and a quarter weighs a ton when you arrive in mid-film, we realize that there is still more than an hour to bear. To find a bit 'of adrenaline you wait for the last half hour finale in which it finally passed to the action, but in terms of story the film is still compromised.

hard to save something in a mess like that. Just a few shots in the final scene, such as the checkpoint or that the detective shortly before the end credits. But really everything else is a disaster. Sorry to have missed the opportunity to make better use of a cast as brilliant as what we had available. Russell Crowe, who usually manages to come out unscathed from his interpretations, this time is very subdued. Perhaps the best is Elizabeth Banks, in some peaks psychopath manages to be convincing. Sprecatissima instead Olivia Wilde (No. 13 of the Dr. House) in a role very, very marginal.

Haggis's film runs continuously vacuum never find the right direction, and when it really seems to understand where it would go, it's too late to get there. Surely you are not creating a successful career in the role of director, maybe it would be better were it to focus exclusively on the screenplay, a job that in the past has already led to great satisfaction. Who knows!

The film will be released in Italy on April 8, 2011 distributed by Medusa
