Body: "The Other Boleyn Girl" is one of those movies everyone will like one way or another. It has the historical appeal, lush sets and costumes, an all-star cast and a wonderfully evil plot. What strikes me most about this movie is how the conflicts and plights of these characters still exist today, and to a great extent. It is a very watchable, yet moody film, the one I am sure I will watch again. The semi-true story centers on two sisters, Anne and Mary Boleyn. Mary (Scarlett Johansson), although she is younger, gets married first and settles into the country lifestyle she is fond of. This leaves Anne (Natalie Portman) eligible to become King Henry's (Eric Bana) mistress, but once he arrives to the country, he falls for Mary rather than Anne. Much to the disapproval of their mother (Kristin Scott Thomas), their father and uncle ship them off to the court of England, where Mary is to become King's mistress, despite her marriage. However, Anne is the head-strong sister who won't be happy until she has made a life for herself, and from then on, the sisters combat each other, the King's wife and fatal ambitions. Although Bana and Johansson give satisfactory performances, it is Portman who is the heart and soul of this movie. Her portrayal of the woman who is responsible for the English Reformation is both seductive and profound. Also, Kieran McGuigan's cinematography is wonderful, and kudos to Peter Morgan, whose screenplay captures the time and place wonderfully. "The Other Boleyn Girl" is a wonderful, engaging movie you will love.

Body: Voodoo Moon is just your average trashy horror movie with a brother/ sister (Eric Mabius, "Reeker"/ Charisma Carpenter, "Relative Chaos") duo who are fighting to destroy the demon who killed their parents when they were young children. They both have special powers. Some of it is entertaining, but most of the dialogue is cringe-worthy. It wasn't very gore, but I did watch it on Sci-Fi, so that all could have been cut out. I liked the idea, the film was just a bit too cheesy to make it work.I heard so much goodness about My Life as a Dog that I feared it would never live up to the expectations. But it totally did. This film brought Swedish director Lasse Hallstrom ("The Hoax") to the international eye. The movie is depressing, sometimes uncomfortable, often funny and always touching. A young boy whose mother is seriously ill, is sent to live with some relatives in the country. There he meets all sorts of interesting characters. I loved it.The Wild One stars Marlon Brando ("The Score") as the leader of a motorcycle gang. They invade a small town and what starts out as innocent fun ends in disaster. While all the mayhem is going on, Brando meets a girl, Mary Murphy ("Katherine"), and they both see something in the other that they envy. An interesting story. Very watchable. And, of course, Brando is always fabulous.I finally caught up with Superbad and I have just one word: McLovin! I mostly loved this comedy about tow bests friend who are trying to get alcohol and girls for a last big high school party. Sometimes Jonah Hill ("Horton Hears a Who")'s yealling really got on my nerves. But I totally identified with the Michael Cera ("Juno") kid. I loved the home-ec sequence. The cops were pretty funny and I enjoyed the examination of male friendship. Though my husband says it's not always like that. Favorite quote: I don't think you have the technology or the steady had to pull of that procedure. (Or something like that)Of course, The Other Boleyn Girl is not as good as the book. But even putting that criticism aside, the movie is not that great. It's not awful, either, but, well. Scarlett Johansson ("The Nanny Diaries") and Natalie Portman ("Mr. Majorium's Wonder Emporium") star as sisters who both catch the eye of King Henry (Eric Bana, "Lucky You"). I loved the costumes and the acting, but there were other problems. The story is so big that we don't get the detail to really become involved with the characters. I rarely say this, but the movie needed to be a bit longer. It's political and a romance and both aspects needed more time. I think that would have solved most of my troubles.

Body: “From the grave of Queer Cinema emerges the gay zombie movie, in the form of German-Canadian co-production Otto; or, Up with Dead People,” declares Matt Riviera. His aim is to defend Bruce LaBruce’s latest “intentionally bad film” from critics who refused to engage with it. “I wonder if some of the folk who didn’t get Otto simply missed the second layer of satire beneath the obvious metaphor of capitalist, consumerist societies turning today’s youth into zombies (kids who feel ‘dead inside’).” Jeffrey Wells reminisces about his brief stint as a publicist for New Line: “I grew up under the domain of an alcoholic dad, and can tell you that I felt the same disturbed, frazzled, self-loathing aura. But at the same time I was relieved that New Line wasn’t a chilly corporate place.” At Big Media Vandalism, Odienator offers a recap of Black History Mumf. “4:43p Scarlett Johansson gets married. Tells Anne she is scared about tonight (cause of the sex, in case you’re slow)…4:45p Scarlett’s husband says “lie down.” That’s it. Wow, sex was awesome back then.” Ricky and Alex at 23/6 live blog The Other Boleyn Girl. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog » karina
