"With Danny Boyle’s DGA win over the weekend, Slumdog Millionaire achieved a near-impossible feat; it became even more favored to win the Oscar for Best Picture. Once thought to be an underdog, Slumdog has been pretty much unstoppable throughout the awards season, even picking up the undeserved top honor at the SAG Awards, and has never fallen from its position of frontrunner since it took the lead months ago. Yet last week, the internet was populated by talk of a Slumdog backlash, and for the first time in weeks, other Best Picture candidates were seriously being discussed as slightly plausible victors. The two titles considered most likely to be a threat to Boyle’s film are The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Milk, with little conc "

"I just saw this movie after hearing about for so many years. Wow, what a powerful movie. Some of the scenes are hard to sit through. The screenplay was excellently written by Thomas Keneally and Steven Zallian. And it was taken much further by the wondefrully talented, Steven Spielberg, who again demonstrates that he can do non-action movies equally as well. All of the actors are excellent in this movie. I recommend for anyone to see this. "

"There are occassions when you look at the cast list, look at the crew and look at the source material for a film and are forced to ponder how so many promising elements turn into a turkey. Based on Robert Penn Warren's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel that was to Louisiana Governor Huey P. Long what Primary Colors was to Bill Clinton, the film tells the story of a fiery, populist politician (Sean Penn) who takes on the oil industry. We see the events from the perspective of Jack Burden (Jude Law), a newspaper writer who is drawn into Willie Stark's campaign for Governor and subsequently his administration. Stark, who was based upon Governor Long, is urged to run by a political schemer named Tiny Duffy who is trying to use Stark to get his own candidate elected Governor. When Burden reveals to Stark that Tiny is using him, the politician responds with a verbal tirade at his next stump stop against the fat cats - a theme that resonates with the crowd. Sean Penn's Stark is a curious beast ... "

"FORWARD: This is a review of two movies, "Black Hawk Down" and "Saving Private Ryan", while also discussing principals that I believe make for better movies. In this review, I hope to look at more than just these movies and look at movies in general more. These two movies have a lot in common, not just their classification as war movies, they seek to put the viewer in the action of the movie and they have similar underlying themes of brotherhood among soldiers and never leave another man behind. But there is (I find) a better one between the two, despite similarities and differences. To discuss this, one has to really step back from what is normally looked at in a review and take into account some film theory. Starting, however, with themes. There are several in these movies, particularly that of camaraderie mentioned before. This is one part that "Saving Private Ryan" does discuss very well, "Saving Private Ryan" asks where the line is to be drawn between the life of one man and ... "

"I was seventeen when I first read Wuthering Heights in an English Literature class. Like most of the boys in the class (of which there were about 4) I was sceptical about the novel, believing it to be a soppy romance. I could not have been more wrong and four hundred pages later I was labelling it the greatest novel I have ever read. I still do. This 1992 adaptation of Emily Bronte's novel is not the first attempt to put the book on the big screen but it was the first attempt to adapt the entire novel on film. Usually the emphasis is solidly on the first half of the novel which contains the "love story" as opposed to the second half which is much more focused on Heathcliff's revenge. Ralph Fiennes is wonderful as Heathcliff, balancing energy and passion without ever venturing into gothic excess. The character could easily descend into charicature but here he manages to elicit sympathy and disgust simultaneously. He invests Heathcliff with such a dark coldness and emotional reserve ... "

"Blake Edwards will exec produce a redo of his 1979 comedy 10 along with son Geoffrey, who was an assistant editor on the original. I’d ask what young starlet you’d most like to see in cornrows, but of course a newcomer is being sought to fill the iconic Bo Derek role. A new version of Papillon, or at least a new adaptation of Henri Charriere’s autobiography, will be produced by two-time Oscar winner Branko Lustig (Schindler’s List; Gladiator). Could a remake receive more love from the Academy than did the original? It’s been done before… Like, totally bitchin: MGM is developing a musical remake of

"What's the AFI Project, you ask? For more information, or if you just enjoy my bemused ramblings, read here: http://www.spout.com/blogs/pip pin06/archive/2008/3/1/25756.a spx Schindler's List is on the following AFI lists:The Original Top 100 (#9)100 Years...100 Heroes and Villains (Oskar Schindler is the #13 hero, and Amon Goeth is the #15 villain)100 Most Inspiring Movies (#3)The Revised Top 100 (#8)10 Top 10's (#3 Epic) Having seen Schindler's List a couple of times in the past, I was reluctant to revisit this one via my Netflix subscription this week for this project. Not because the movie is horrible: on the contrary, I am of the opinion that it is one of the finest films ever made anywhere. A bold statement, I know, and I'll get to that in a minute, but the reason why I was reluctant to revisit this film is because it affects me so much (as it should), that I am wrecked for days afterward, and if I watch it close enough to bedtime (as I did this time around), it kind of g ...

"Schindler's List is about a German business man Oskar Schindler who started a factory making pots and pans for the war effort. He hired Polish Jews who would work for the least amount of money giving him huge profits. As the war progressed the Jews began to be moved to concentration camps. Schindler was one of the few who treated his workers humanly and so his Jews were known as Schindler Jews. As time progressed Schindler begain to realize the true value of a human life.I thought that on an artistic level this is the best movie I have ever seen, it was an incredibly moving story. But it is also very hard to watch especially knowing that these events did happen. I found most of the movie deaply depressing, but I found the ending less so. "

"Italian filmmaker Dario Argento is considered the all time great horror maestro, with films like Suspiria and Inferno on his resume. HIs daughter, Asia Argento, is an aspiring young filmmaker and actress with a few films under her belt. Her latest, with a title as agonizingly interminable as the film itself, is a near-shameful entry into the oeuvre of her family. It’s torture porn meets melodrama meets senseless violence meets, well, porn. There is not one image in The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things that did not disturb, annoy, or offend me. Based (loosely, I presume) on a short story by J.T. LeRoy, Argento’s film stars herself as an irresponsible teenage mother and Jimmy Bennett as Jeremiah, her seven-year-old son dragged from the comparatively heavenly foster home and thrust into a world of sexual and physical abuse. No film excites me more than one that sets out to toss countless disturbing images at my face for unidentifiable reasons. Schindler’s List po ... "
