Play On, Bleeker

"The novel on which Nick & Nora's Infinite Playlist is based was written by David Levithan, author of "Boy Meets Boy," and like that work, the action and characters exist in an alternate reality. It's still New York, but the amount of freedom enjoyed by 17 and 18-year-olds in addition to the overacceptance of homosexuality doesn't mesh with real life. That overall feel works for and against the film, allowing it to teeter into fantasy that's both wonderful and difficult to accept. The Mark Mothersbaugh score is quality, but the rest of the unending music fails to live up to the titular hype (if that's even what it was going for). Michael Cera and Kat Dennings make for an appealing pair, and their friends are even more interesting as they embark on a wild night (and early morning) in search of an elusive concert. A bit too indy to hit the quirky heights its cast is capable of, but entertaining nonetheless. " [More]

"“When you read a screenplay, it doesn’t come with a picture on the cover,” said Adam Siegel, president of Marc Platt Productions, a producer who is friends with all four women and has worked with all except Ms. Cody. “I know a few beautiful women, but none of them write like Dana, Liz, Lorene or Diablo.” The above quote is the best part of a New York Times piece from the weekend that made me throw up a bit in my mouth despite how delicious it is (this happens a lot to me with Mexican food, but rarely Times articles, even those in the Sunday Styles section). I would have used it for the Bloggery earlier, but of course Nikki Finke was more important yesterday. Coincidentally, there’s something about this profile on Diablo Cody and her “Fempire” that relates to the Finke story, at least to how Jeff Wells responded to Kim Masters’ take, claiming that if Finke was a guy she never would have been attacked in such a way. Similarly, Cody and Co. wouldn’t be written about if they were men. ... " [More]

Peter Sollett Interview, Nick & ...

"Director Peter Sollett turned his short film Five Feet High And Rising into the 2003 Sundance darling Raising Victor Vargas, and now he’s moved into studio fare with the Sony Pictures flick Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist. Thankfully, it doesn’t feel like a powerhouse of a film, and he manages to make a night in New York City feel honest, and not like a slickly produced starfest. Read through the break to find out what it was like making this movie, why he thinks Union Pool is “retarded,” the skinny on MPAA censorship, and how much improv Michael Cera did in the movie. [He also swears and then apologizes for it, which Karina finds super endearing. -- Ed.][More]

"There are so many things I like about this movie, so I'll just mention one. I love the fact that we see a girl decide she's going to have sex with her new would-be boyfriend, and the decision is clearly triggered by something the guy says. Not some line, not an expression of love, but just a smart, sensitive take on a philosophical position he girl admires. " [More]

"After a long layover at Port Authority spent reenacting scenes from Keane (see what I did there? I went for the obscure but creepy reference, instead of the topical, populist one) I took the bus up to Woodstock, NY this weekend, to spend about 24 hours at the Woodstock Film Festival. I finally saw Sean Baker’s Prince of Broadway, an improvised family dramedy which plays something like a Hollywood remake of L’enfant set in the bootleg luxury trade on the streets of New York; it won big at LAFF and took Woodstock’s top narrative prize on Saturday night. The awards ceremony where Broadway was honored was indie star-studded, surprisingly casual and fun, and –– maybe unsurprisingly––littered with references to the ongoing presidential election.

Review: 'Infinite' Enjoyment

"After seeing the trailer for 'Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist,' I joked to a friend that if someone were to design a movie specifically for me, this would probably be it. Let's break it down.'Nick and Norah' appeared to be...a) a teen comedy with a better than average chance of being good...b) with a dash of whimsy and unabashed romanticism...d) that takes place over the course of one night...d) from an up-and-coming director with an indie pedigree...e) featuring two appealing young stars...f) and a hip indie music soundtrack.I suppose if none of the above appeal to you, it probably won't matter whether I liked the movie or not. But if you can accept my claim to be able to fairly judge something so in tune with my sensibilities, you should read on. (footnote: I point to one 'Juno' as a film that seemed so right up my alley, yet left me a little cold. Good movie - cute even - but not in my top ten of the year.)Nick (Michael Cera) is a music nut who has recently been dumped. He wa ... " [More]

"Hey I know what we’ll do. We can get Michael Cera and Kat Dennings to star in a cast full of hipsters in New York City. Make the story one massively long night, and don’t forget to include every cliché possible. That’s right I even want you to use the line, “follow that (insert vehicle).” Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist doesn’t fail to adhere to any of these guidelines. Start us off with a bummed Michael Cera playing the sweet, sensitive, word stumbling… George Michael? no Paulie Bleeker? no his name is Nick in this one. That’s right. Cera plays, well Cera, but he does it well. It’s not like he hasn’t done it before. It just works a little better in this film. After his girlfriend Tris dumps him, Nick is going to need a night of good old teenage fun. " [More]

"My friends have varying opinions when it comes to flicks. When one of my buddies caught an advanced screening in New York, he said it was alright but not good enough to spend money on. One of my other friends loved it and claimed I would feel the same. I finally have seen Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist and I guess I'm somewhere in the middle. I see where my first friend didn't like it but where my second friend thought it was good. Some people are pegging it as the next American Graffiti. I wouldn't go so far as to say that, but I think it's still better than most of the romantic comedies that. A group of Jersey kids head into the big city to catch a concert held by a band that's harder to find than a grounded character in a Kafka novel. It serves as an underlying subplot to keep everybody moving throughout lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. There's the usual stock cast of characters that come with a romantic teen comedy, but they work well. I guess the biggest issue with the charac ... " [More]

Don't forget the popcorn

" When I found out what the movie was about, I thought "this seems like a very decent movie". Well, it was. The storyline is pretty basic, yet extremely entertaining. The characters are great, although I'd like to see Cera and Dennings outside of their usual characters. The best characters, IMO, are the secondary ones; which just work perfectly to move the story forward and are very funny to see. The acting was nothing too remarkable but it was decent enough for the movie to feel fluid and natural. The script is particularly witty in a silly humor kind of way and I found many of the jokes pretty funny. The scenarios are greatly varied throughout the movie and each has a unique appeal. The overarching story of the movie (attend to a secret concert by an indie rock band) takes the characters to the indie scene in NYC and adds a lot of dyamics to the movie. An extra character in the movie is the soundt ... " [More]
