Body: Hi Christi! Actually, I use Typepad, and tried to use both the atom xml feed provided by Typepad, and my Feedburner link, and neither worked.But I might be a bit confused, so let me run through the steps I used.To add a recent blog about the film Black Irish to my spout site, I did the following:I looked up "Black Irish" on Spout, and copied the film page address, which I believe is http://www.spout.com/films/319579/default.aspxI pasted the link to the Spout site into my recent post about Black Irish on Typepad, which can be found here:http://popcornnroses.typepad.com/popcorn_n_roses/2007/10/an-indie-film-y.htmlI then returned to Spout and ran the Blog program, using both addresses I mentioned above, but neither one saw the link to the Spout page on my Typepad blog. I also tried waiting 24 hours and doing it again,which also failed.If we can figure out what's wrong, or what i'm doing wrong (which is HIGHLY possible, heh heh), i'm planning to link ALL My blogs to the Spout site, so my blog readers know i'm also very active (or intend to be) over here.Any guidance you could provide would be greatly appreciated...here's hoping it's a dumb goof on my part....:-) TC

Post To: popcornnroses Blog
Post Date: 7/25/2007 10:47:00 AM
Body: HOT FUZZRATED: RSTARS: SIMON PEGG, NICK FROST, TIMOTHY DALTON, JIM BROADBENT, PADDY CONSIDINE, RAFE SPALL, EDWARD WOODWARDDIRECTOR: EDGAR WRIGHT**********Sergeant Nicholas Angel (Pegg) is a top cop in London whose exemplary record - 400% better than most of his colleagues - is making the rest of his department look bad. Now coming back from an injury, he finds that his superiors have conspired to ship him off to the backcountry as the newest addition to the force in the seemingly crime free hamlet of Sanford.None too pleased about the way he's being shipped off, Angel nevertheless throws himself into the job with gusto - so much in fact that he is more than a little disturbed by a string of "accidents" that appear to be much more, and is frustrated by the lack of action from his new police comrades, who would rather keep the status quo of the village and sit around the office having cake and ice cream.Paired with a bumbling new partner, PC Danny Butterman (Frost), the son of police chief Frank Butterman (Broadbent), who longs for the kind of excitement he sees in Hollywood cop movies like Point Break and Supercop, Angel's determination to find murder in the string of accidents gets him marked as a bit of a loon by the locals. But as he continues to push the rest of his department, and the townspeople, about the accidents, and he runs afowl of the local supermarket owner (Dalton), he discovers a sinister undercurrent in the little community, and it's one that even his new friend and partner might not be able to help him expose before it's too late.Rife with in-jokes and asides galore, Hot Fuzz is the latest movie to come from star/writer Pegg, who also wrote and starred in the horror film spoof Shaun Of The Dead with Frost and a number of other cast members.As in Shaun Of The Dead, the chemistry between Pegg and Frost is spot on, with Sgt Angel's exasperation coming through on a few glorious occasions while his partner is totally oblivious to why the new sergeant is getting so uptight. The two make a great team, and the characters grow to become true friends as the movie goes on. Frost is fantastic, and his character's eagerness to learn everything he can from his new, more experienced partner, shows in his enthusiam about the job, and the way he listens to the various instructive tips offered to him about how to conduct himself as a police constable.Timothy Dalton is deliciously slimy as Simon Skinner, the supermarket owner/manager, and his constant attempts to get into the good graces of the new arrival are often in stark contrast to what else is going on in the scenes, and as a result, make for some great moments of bewilderment on Angel's part that are totally hilarious.Jim Broadbent, as Sanford's police chief, is a homey sort who just wants to keep things running smoothly in the city as it prepares for the visit of the "Most Beautiful Village" committee, and he never fails to try and humor Angel's efforts to discover if something really is going on. But there's another side of the character that comes out as the movie reaches its climax, and it shows off exactly why the oft-used character actor is also an Academy Award winner.Edward Woodward, who plays town neighborhood watch head Tom Weaver, is also great - I don't think i've ever seen him play comedy before, and he's absolutely a delight to watch, with his bushy beard and thick but understandable backcountry accent.Paddy Considine and Rafe Spall, as the two Andys, Sanford's disinterested, card-playing, chain-smoking pair of detectives, are a riot, their often deadpan delivery offsetting an undercurrent of menace in their characters. They give Angel a hard time for seeing conspiracy everywhere, and they aren't above a bit of pranking to show off what a fool they think he is. And their sparring relationships are fantastic, the two Andys and Angel frequently clashing heads over methods and tactics, and the clashes come off as completely real and somewhat menacing.The movie's climax, which sees about two dozen cop movies getting referenced and spoofed as it goes along, is one heck of a ride, with its unexpected revelations, bullets flying everywhere, and a nice, tidy wrap up on the whole story.From the opening moments right through the end credits, Hot Fuzz is the best spoof of the cop movie genre to come along since the Naked Gun series of movies, and very much deserves all the praise it has been getting. So jump in and enjoy your visit to the village of Sanford - you'll be laughing for the entire ride.MY SCORE: 4.5 (OUT OF FIVE)

Now coming back from an injury, he finds that his superiors have conspired to ship him off to the backcountry as the newest addition to the force in the seemingly crime free hamlet of Sanford.None too pleased about the way he's being shipped off, Angel nevertheless throws himself into the job with gusto - so much in fact that he is more than a little disturbed by a string of "accidents" that appear to be much more, and is frustrated by the lack of action from his new police comrades, who would rather keep the status quo of the village and sit around the office having cake and ice cream.Paired with a bumbling new partner, PC Danny Butterman (Frost), the son of police chief Frank Butterman (Broadbent), who longs for the kind of excitement he sees in Hollywood cop movies like Point Break and Supercop, Angel's determination to find murder in the string of accidents gets him marked as a bit of a loon by the locals. But as he continues to push the rest of his department, and the townspeople, about the accidents, and he runs afowl of the local supermarket owner (Dalton), he discovers a sinister undercurrent in the little community, and it's one that even his new friend and partner might not be able to help him expose before it's too late.Rife with in-jokes and asides galore, Hot Fuzz is the latest movie to come from star/writer Pegg, who also wrote and starred in the horror film spoof Shaun Of The Dead with Frost and a number of other cast members.As in Shaun Of The Dead, the chemistry between Pegg and Frost is spot on, with Sgt Angel's exasperation coming through on a few glorious occasions while his partner is totally oblivious to why the new sergeant is getting so uptight. The two make a great team, and the characters grow to become true friends as the movie goes on. Frost is fantastic, and his character's eagerness to learn everything he can from his new, more experienced partner, shows in his enthusiam about the job, and the way he listens to the various instructive tips offered to him about how to conduct himself as a police constable.Timothy Dalton is deliciously slimy as Simon Skinner, the supermarket owner/manager, and his constant attempts to get into the good graces of the new arrival are often in stark contrast to what else is going on in the scenes, and as a result, make for some great moments of bewilderment on Angel's part that are totally hilarious.Jim Broadbent, as Sanford's police chief, is a homey sort who just wants to keep things running smoothly in the city as it prepares for the visit of the "Most Beautiful Village" committee, and he never fails to try and humor Angel's efforts to discover if something really is going on. But there's another side of the character that comes out as the movie reaches its climax, and it shows off exactly why the oft-used character actor is also an Academy Award winner.Edward Woodward, who plays town neighborhood watch head Tom Weaver, is also great - I don't think i've ever seen him play comedy before, and he's absolutely a delight to watch, with his bushy beard and thick but understandable backcountry accent.Paddy Considine and Rafe Spall, as the two Andys, Sanford's disinterested, card-playing, chain-smoking pair of detectives, are a riot, their often deadpan delivery offsetting an undercurrent of menace in their characters.

Body: SPIDER-MAN 3RATED PG-13 STARS: TOBEY MAGUIRE, KIRSTEN DUNST, JAMES FRANCO, THOMAS HADEN CHURCH, TOPHER GRACE, BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD, ROSEMARY HARRISDIRECTOR: SAM RAIMI**************I've never been a huge fan of Spider-Man, but i've followed the comic over the years occasionally, so I know how some of the stories are supposed to be.Spider-Man 3 takes plenty of liberties with the comic mythos, and does so with great style and panache, but it no doubt has some comic fans aghast with the number of changes director Raimi takes.This time, Peter Parker AKA Spider-Man (Maguire) is on the verge of asking his long time girlfriend Mary Jane Watson (Dunst) for her hand in marriage, but his plans are derailed by a number of factors, not the least of which is his running feud with former best friend Harry Osborne (Franco) who has vowed to kill Spider-Man, whom he believes is responsible for the death of his father (see Spider-Man 1).Throw into the mix a new bad guy, the Sandman (Church), who has recently escaped prison trying to find a way to finance his daughter's medical treatment, an obnoxious photographer (Grace, in an unexpectedly brilliant performance) out to best Parker out of his freelance jobs at the Daily Bugle, and the beautiful fashion model daughter of the chief of police (Howard), who Parker has become slightly smitten with after saving her from certain doom early in the film. Then add an alien life form that falls to earth in a meteor and attachs itself to a motor scooter sitting nearby - of course it belongs to Parker - and you have the makings of a great movie.It's a shame that it couldn't quite live up to it's potential.Not that it's a bad film either. Spidey saves the day a number of times, but when the alien lifeform takes over his spidey suit, changing it to black, a change comes over Peter as well, and it's an aggressive and arrogant change. He returns to normal once the suit comes off, but he finds the temptation of being a stronger and faster superhero too tempting and, unaware that the suit has been taken over at first, continues to don it rather than his traditional red and blue costume, and the changes in his personality are more pronounced each time he wears it.Unlike the previous two outings in the series, Mary Jane comes across here as whiny, jealous, and a bit self-centered, tired of having to deal with her beau's dual identity, which she learned of in the second film, while her own career takes a tumble. But she too notices the change in Parker after he wears the black suit to chase after the Sandman, whom he and his Aunt May have recently learned was the real killer of his Uncle Ben. And Eddie Brock, whom Parker exposes as a fraud when he lands the coveted staff Bugle job with a doctored photo of Spiderman, vows revenge on Peter as well.Once Peter realizes what the black suit is doing to him, he struggles to rid his suit of the lifeform, which he's been aware of for a while, and in doing so, part of it falls on Brock, who is immediately enveloped in the black goo, and his lust for revenge against Peter explodes.When I go to see an action film, I expect to see lots of action. But this time around, Spider-Man 3 delivers more pathos and angst (two Marvel comics staples) than action. And the overblown finale, with several incredulous revelations, ends up being a rehash of the finales of the last two movies, and it hurts the film overall. I was particularly bugged by a revelation from Harry Osborne's butler that could (and probably should) have been done in the second film, but if he'd made that revelation then, it would have screwed up the Spidey/New Goblin feud. How convieniant. But it would have also been far more credible.I was also a bit put off by the scenes of Parker strutting around New York City (literally), the effect of the black suit having changed his personality somewhat. Was this really necessary? I think it would have been a better film without it. It was possible to see the changes in Peter without making a total mockery of the character, as I felt this one sequence tried too hard to show the more aggressive change he was undergoing, but actually ended up undercutting his character quite a bitAnd after the huge battle scenes near the end of the movie, the actual final scenes come off as a severe anti-climax.Still though, it IS enjoyable if you're willing to overlook the sometimes overly tear-filled character development and the lack of a lot of action. It's well-written, and full of life, but it's just NOT the life I would have expected after such a fantastic second installment a couple years ago.People I saw the film with were happy, the audience gave it a good round of applause, and were excitedly wondering when Spider-Man 4 would be out, so it's obviously a pleasurable experience. It's a shame, though, because it left me feeling good, but not great, and thinking that with a little tweaking here and there, and a bit more comic continuity, it could have been so much more....MY SCORE: 2.75 (out of five)

Body: After attending this past weekend's IMAX movie for the PNR Summer Tour (see review from Monday), I started thinking about other films that would lend themselves to the IMAX format. One movie in particular stands out to me as the perfect candidate for the IMAX treatment. It has long been one of my all-time favorite films, and its visual style was way ahead of its time.And now, as the 25th anniversary of the film's release is looming in 2008, I think it's time to take the next logical step into IMAX. I've been saying so for YEARS and now is the perfect time for it.The film is Godfrey Reggio's incredible 1983 visual masterpiece, Koyaanisqatsi (see Popcorn's Pix here). Backed with it's mesmering Philip Glass score, this movie is just SCREAMING to be brought to the IMAX or IMAX 3-D format.For those of you unfamiliar with Reggio's work, Koyaanisqatsi (the title is Hopi indian for "life out of balance") is a visual and aural masterpiece about our world and how man's search for progress has affected it. In many ways, it was "An Inconvienient Truth" 24 years BEFORE that movie came out and without the presence of former Vice President Al Gore.I have watched the movie dozens of times since it came out on DVD, and remain a strong proponent of it. I have talked it up on Subject:CINEMA several times, and there is little doubt it will be among my Top 20 Films of ALL TIME when that list is announced in June on the first anniversary edition of Subject:CINEMA.The first part of the "Qatsi" trilogy of movies, it is the strongest and best of the three, and just the opening 15 minutes alone would make an IMAX experience unlike any other. Think of what it would be like to see those images of the desert and sky on the humongous IMAX screen. Kim often describes this part of the movie as "What it must feel like to be flying on Superman's shoulders", and she's absolutely right.Think of being immersed in IMAX 3-D during the time lapse flights through skyscrapers, or during the mind-blowing time-lapse traffic sequence - it would feel like the most incredible motion odyssey movie ride in history.For those of you who have never seen the movie, it might be hard to understand, but in many ways, Koyaanisqatsi is almost a religious experience. And to me, the chance to see it larger than ever before postively makes me drool.So I have decided to take matters into my own hands, so to speak.I have launched the Bring "Koyaanisqatsi" to IMAX petititon over at petitiononline.com. I will be bringing this petition up to as many people as I possibly can, and hopefully the esteemed Mr Reggio will take us to heart and allow his masterpiece to be prepped for an IMAX run during it's 25th anniversary year.It will only take you a moment or so to sign the petition and add your voice to the hopefully millions of voices that will join us in asking for one of the greatest movie experiences of all time to be brought to the most visually rich and incredible movie screens of all time in celebration of its' 25th anniversary.You can visit the petition by clicking here - and please spread the word to your friends as well. It is my hope that within the next 18 months or so, I can sit down in our local IMAX theater (possibly donning 3-D glasses) and enjoy the breathtaking splendor that is Koyaanisqatsi like i've never seen it before. So please - sign the petition!YOu will NEVER regret doing so.

But Air Guitar Nation changes your perspective very quickly. Because although the particpants in the World Air Guitar finals take it very seriously, they also admit that what they are doing is one of the silliest things most people have ever heard of.The story focuses on a couple of young entrepreneurs who decide that it's high time that America particpate. The contest has been going on since 1996, but an American champion had never been crowned before. In 2003, they set off to find the best American air guitarist and send him or her to the world finals in Oulu, Finland.What follows are the stories behind some of the americans who chose to particpate in the contest. Focusing mainly on the East Coast champion, David "C-Diddy" Jung, an actor who plays his air guitar wearing a "Hello Kitty" chest protector, and the East Coast runner-up who refuses to give up, Dan "Bjorn Toroque" Clark, and their friendly rivalry in the air guitar world, you can't help but get totally caught up in their world, even if it's just for a hearty laugh.After Jung captures the East Coast title, Clark, a determined (some might say "obsessed") air guitar competitor, heads to Los Angeles to enter the West Coast qualifier, and then, defeated there as well by local favorite Gordon "Krye Tuff" Hintz (a government employee by day), raises his own funds to make it to the Norway finals.The finals are held in an outdoor arena and while in Finland, the finalists take part in an "air guitar training camp" which has to be seen to be believed - some of the stuff taught in this camp, while no doubt helpful to the competitors, is outright HILARIOUS to those of us watching from the outside - and prepare to take each other on in the ultimate World Finals, the first to feature not just one, but two american entrants.Air Guitar Nation is the kind of documentary that, when you think about the idea, makes one wonder why ANYONE would spend hundreds of thousands of dollars making a movie about this kind of thing. But sitting back and watching it, you can't help but admire the work the filmmakers have done, and the obvious fun that the participants have in competing.Some of the finalists are good enough to put serious fear of defeat in both Jung and Clark, including air guitarists from England, Belgium, New Zealand, Austraila, and of course, Finland. And Jung, whose parents flew to Oulu for the event, realizes just how serious the competition can get as he watches his fellow air guitarists in action.The Audience Award winner at this year's SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas, Air Guitar Nation will have you rocking out to the great music used by the entrants, tickle your funny bone, and leave you heading out of the theater with a smile on your face, and firing up the CD player at home with some Malmsteen, so YOU can practice for next year's round of air guitar qualifying .

Body: (Review originally posted on PNR on 4/22/07)WRISTCUTTERS: A LOVE STORYNOT RATEDSTARS: PATRICK FUGIT, SHANNYN SOSSAMON, SHEA WIGHAM, TOM WAITS, LESLIE BIPP, TOM ARNETT, ABRAHAM BENRUBIDIRECTOR: GORAN DUKICFor those who are curious about life after death, and especially for those who wonder what happens when they kill themselves, Wristcutters: A Love Story offers up an unusual side trip.The movie is the story of Zia (Fugit), a twentysomething young man from New Jersey who kills himself (the suicide opens the movie) over something that happened between he and his girlfriend (it's never actually revealed what happened, but it's implied that he may have found out she was cheating on him).Zia informs us via voiceover that life after death isn't much different from regular life, except that it might even be worse. Since offing himself, he's found a job at Kamikaze Pizza, he lives with a fussy Austrian roommate (Benrubi), and spends his off time hanging out at a local bar, where he's befriended by Eugene (Wigham), a Russian immigrant whose entire family has offed themselves at one time or another, and as such, once again live all together in the afterlife.When Zia finds out from another suicide from his neighborhood that his ex-girlfriend he offed himself over, Desiree (Bipp), offed herself about a month after Zia's funeral, he and Eugene set off to find her. Along the way they're joined by Mikal (Sossamon), who they find hitchhiking on the side of the road. It seems she doesn't believe she belongs here, because she killed herself accidentally, and is now looking for the People In Charge so that she can set things right.As they drive without aim hoping to find Desiree, one night, while driving without headlights (which have been malfunctioning the entire trip), they almost run over Kneller, who is just lying in the middle of the road. Kneller, a strange but intriguing man, takes them back to his campsite, where they discover that the people staying with Kneller perform small personal miracles, including a mute girl who can throat sing, and a man who can float in the air.When a camper returns with the news that Messiah, the man who runs another camp not too far away, has convinced Kneller's runaway dog to stay with him, Kneller, Zia, and Mikal head to Messiah's camp, hoping to bring the dog back, and where they find Messiah preparing to perform the biggest miracle of all - separating his body and soul into two distinct beings. And at his side is Desiree, who is assisting him in his planned miracle. Zia sadly discovers she didn't kill herself over losing him, but because she wanted to follow Messiah to this world after he killed himself in the real world.But things don't work quite the same way in this netherworld reserved for suicides, and Zia's afterlife is about to take an unexpected turn...The debut feature from director Dukic, and based on the short story Kneller's Happy Campers by author Etgar Keret, Wristcutters is a darkly comic look at what happens in a world where all the inhabitants are there by the choice of their suicide in the real world, and how life in the afterlife can still somehow be a real life (confusing, but you'll get it when you see the movie).With the three leads and Tom Waits turning in absolutely wonderful performances - Waits is particularly excellent in his small but important role - you'll find yourself swept away into their somewhat bizarre existance, and wondering if Zia is right when he says that this life is even worse than what he left behind. Fugit is one of today's breed of rising young actors, along with a few others like Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jamie Bell, and Michael Angarano, who have the ability to grab a character and envelop themselves totally in it, and his quirky and poignant portrayal of Zia will wrap itself around your heart. The movie is hilariously funny in the most unexpected places, and because of it, it doesn't seem at all like you've spent a whole 95 minutes watching the movie...you become so fascinated with these quirky people that you almost wish it wasn't over yet when it finishes.The movie also features something else that is rare for a dark comedy - a HAPPY ending. Like 2006's dark but still funny One Last Thing..., the twist at the end is unexpected (and yet still strangely expected), and the final two shots of the movie, especially if you've been paying attention to a particular recurring conversation throughout the movie, add a boisterous and unexpectedly happy kick to the heartstrings. Speaking for myself, it brought happy tears to my eyes.Wristcutters is one of those quirky offbeat little films that unexpectedly works it's way under your skin and into your psych and then refuses to let go.Given the fact that movie has recieved almost a dozen nominations and several awards since its premiere at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, including a prestigious nomination as "The Best Film Not Playing In Your Local Theater" at the 2007 Gotham Awards, it is a CRIME that this movie has yet to find a distributor. This movie deserves to be seen by as many people as possible, and deserves a chance to become the indie hit I believe it is ultimately destined to become.Ever since seeing director Riaan Johnson's incredible and mesmerizing debut Brick in 2006, I have held a very high criteria for a movie in regards to earning a spot on my all time favorite movie list. Wristcutters: A Love Story EASILY passed that rigorous criteria, and now ranks with Brick, Catherine Hardwick's Lords Of Dogtown, and Yimou Zhang's Hero as one of my all time favorite films. I left the theater feeling completely heartwarmed, and with a great big smile on my face. Here's hoping the gods shine on Wristcutters and allows it to find a distributor soon.(it has indeed found a distributor since the review originally appeared). It is absolutely the kind of movie that must be on your "Can't Miss" list when it comes out...this movie is just too damn good - and too damn FUNNY - to have it remain an unjustly buried treasure...MY SCORE: 5 (out of 5)WRISTCUTTERS TEASERAdd to My Profile | More Videos On The Web: http://www.wristcutters.comOn My Space: http://myspace.com/wristcutters

Since offing himself, he's found a job at Kamikaze Pizza, he lives with a fussy Austrian roommate (Benrubi), and spends his off time hanging out at a local bar, where he's befriended by Eugene (Wigham), a Russian immigrant whose entire family has offed themselves at one time or another, and as such, once again live all together in the afterlife.When Zia finds out from another suicide from his neighborhood that his ex-girlfriend he offed himself over, Desiree (Bipp), offed herself about a month after Zia's funeral, he and Eugene set off to find her. Along the way they're joined by Mikal (Sossamon), who they find hitchhiking on the side of the road. It seems she doesn't believe she belongs here, because she killed herself accidentally, and is now looking for the People In Charge so that she can set things right.As they drive without aim hoping to find Desiree, one night, while driving without headlights (which have been malfunctioning the entire trip), they almost run over Kneller, who is just lying in the middle of the road. Kneller, a strange but intriguing man, takes them back to his campsite, where they discover that the people staying with Kneller perform small personal miracles, including a mute girl who can throat sing, and a man who can float in the air.When a camper returns with the news that Messiah, the man who runs another camp not too far away, has convinced Kneller's runaway dog to stay with him, Kneller, Zia, and Mikal head to Messiah's camp, hoping to bring the dog back, and where they find Messiah preparing to perform the biggest miracle of all - separating his body and soul into two distinct beings. And at his side is Desiree, who is assisting him in his planned miracle.
