"Danny Boyle’s new crowd-pleasing film Slumdog Millionaire was originally intended to be shot entirely in English, but apparently due to the preferences of a casting director, about a third of the movie is in Hindi. While this fraction may not be enough to call it a foreign-language film, it could have been enough to turn off subtitle-fearing audiences were the movie not so otherwise accessible due to its feel-good, “Hollywood-style” story involving star-crossed romance, destiny and an ultimate “love conquers all” message. Also, the movie breaks free from one off-putting foreign film tradition by following Man on Fire, Night Watch and TV’s Heroes into the realm of non-traditional subtitling. Slumdog received a standing ovation at the Toronto Film Festival, where it won the People’s Choice Awa "

"After seeing some clips of this film in some of my film classes, I decided I wanted to rent it and see what it was all about. Not really knowing what to expect, I must say when the film was over I was impressed. There are so many aspects of this film that I like. Where do I begin? Well for one, I love the whole look of the film. Set in Germany, the film has a very retro look to it. The main character, Lola (Franka Potente), has bleached red hair and is running around in a tank top and what looks to be plaid pants and boots. Her boyfriend, Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu) is dressed in a tan colored shirt, jeans and a black vest. For most of the film he is at an intersection where there is a coffee shop or a bar behind him, which is painted in a unique palette of colors and designs. The music lend "

"After seeing Run Lola Run I was more than anxious to see Tom Tykwer’s other films. Next in line for me was The Princess and the Warrior. My friend had just gotten through seeing it and told me how great it was so this only added to my anticipation. The thing I like the most about this film was the plot. It revolves around two people, one a thief, Bodo (Benno Furmann), and the other a nurse, Sissi (Franka Potente), who works at a mental institution. After stealing some groceries, Bodo is being chased through the streets of a German town. During the c "

"This was the fourth film I've seen by Tom Tykwer and until watching it, I was still unsure as to whether I could consider myself a fan of his. I thought Run Lola Run was brillian but was worried that he may have been a one-trick pony. Winter Sleepers was the next film I saw by him and was pretty dissapointed. I gave him another chance with Heaven and although I didn't fall in love with it, it still reminded me of his talents and to keep an eye out for his future work. Perfume...... sealed the deal for me. I am now squarely on one side of the fence. This was a fantastic movie. The acting, especially by Whishaw was superior every scene. The screenplay was well written, keeping the story moving at a fast enough pace as to not loose my attention while still allowing for an entire life story to unfold. What got me more than anything was the use of color palettes. It forces you to use the term: "brilliant" in it's most literal sense. "

"I honestly don’t mean to keep devoting time and blog space to Uwe Boll, but when the guy manages to say something hilarious or interesting every other day, what else am I to do? Write about serious issues like the future of film criticism? Karina’s got that covered quite sufficiently and efficiently, so I might as well stick to the fluff. Of course, I can still relate the fluff to film theory, as in the case of Boll’s latest peer slamming, located at MTV Movies Blog. After criticizing the uneven work of Tom Tykwer (sorry, Uwe, but Perfume is a far better film than Run Lola Run), Gus Van Sant and Michael Haneke, he goes off again on his favorite nemesis, Michael Bay: “I think he’s really bad. And I think the point is, if you get $250 million for every movie you do, how you gonna make a bad lookin "

"A young woman being stalked by her ex, has an affair with a handsome venture capitalist. Christian Petzold's Yella is not that simple.Yella is remarkable with a strong cast. Nina Hoss is Yella from first scene. Yella is independent and intelligent. She is moving on with her life and moving away from her father and ex, Ben (Hinnerk Schoenemann). Schoenemann makes Ben a personality nightmare as kind and begging one moment, and violent the next. Philipp (David Striesow) is the knight in shining armor who offers a challenging job, and real love. The film has clues to the story hidden throughout. Subtle suggestions come from music, sounds and light. The deeper meaning is not revealed until the end. It is as big as The Sixth Sense. Petzold's style is stark and minimalist. Rooms are simple and seem close to natural lighting. Shots are composed to add an unnatural edge. The effect molds the story from simple to sublime. Yella is an enigma. It is bold and risky in story. Nina Hoss m ... "
