"It’s only a couple of short weeks before the 2008 Oscar nominees are announced, and the internet is abuzz with prognostications. One hotly debated topic is whether or not Wall-E can pull off a Best Picture nomination, or even a win. It would be the second animated film to be nominated in the category, after Beauty and the Beast, which got the honor before the Animated Feature prize existed. Will the stodgy old Academy seat Wall-E at the kid’s table, giving it an easy win in the animation category, or will it be allowed to play with the big boys? A best pic nomination for Wall-E would be a rare honor for animation in general, but it would also be a long over due rarity for another reason: Wall-E would only be the second best pic nominated film in the history of the Oscars to be set in the future. The only one to date is A Clockwork Orange. When you consider how many nominees are period pieces "

"This blog entry is part of my “movie year countdown round #2”. Read more about that here. Stalker I'm not exactly sure how to begin this review. Stalker is a movie that leaves you contemplating so many different things for so long. Probably even more than Andrei Rublev or Solaris which are the two other movies I've seen by Andrei Tarkovsky and could be described in the same way. I feel like it's a film that in a way is very difficult to discuss with other people, especially to try to describe if you haven't seen it. The discussions this movie will cause you to have is more of a contemplation within yourself. And it's hard to describe because what it evokes doesn't come about because of the simple events that could be given in a synopsis. There are a lot of long takes and the dialogue is often sparse and philosophical. Some of the images are

"This week I wanted to make a simple point: Andrew Stanton’s WALL-E is a near-masterpiece of A.I. proportions and socio-political implications, reduced by its cloying musical score to just another ingenious Disney/Pixar heart-tugger. The most effective way to illustrate this would have been to create a video mash-up of the WALL-E score and an immersive philosophical sci-fi like 2001: A Space Odyssey, THX-1138 or Tarkovsky’s Solaris. But my laptop’s down, so I’m stuck here telling you rather than showing. Let’s try another way: This column is written by a single man in his 30’s who spends a lot of time alone. If Disney or Sony or the Weinstein Company made a movie about my life, there would be lots of alienated, bassy sounds over shots of me staring red-eyed at a library computer screen; piano tinkling accompanying my pitiful walk home; despairing choral chants and Middle Eastern wailing as I trudge up to the arthous "

"SUNSHINE is one of those films that had me hooked for most of its length, but then during the last act almost completely lost me; although not entirely in this case, thankfully. I was slightly disappointed that Danny Boyle, the director the film (also TRAINSPOTTING and 28 DAYS LATER), went for the conventional mainstream plot devices that he threw into the last act of film. I won’t say what they were… you’ll just have to see the film, and we can talk about it afterwards if anyone wants to… but anyway… I really liked the film overall – it’s one of those apocalyptic, end of the world scenarios that we’re presented with: in a nutshell, the sun is dying, and world governments assemble a team of scientists and astronauts to go on what is essentially on a suicide mission, into space, in a ship armed with a nuclear weapon meant to be launched into the sun’s core, where it will explode and reignite the sun… a scenario which we ...

"Andrei Tarkovsky is one of the world’s most renowned film directors. He also has a reputation of making very slow-paced movies with extremely long takes. Quite a few people told me that his films are “difficult to watch” and boring. I was a little intimidated by those comments. But after reading an article by director Akira Kurosawa on Solaris, I was determined to watch the film.In Solaris, psychologist Kris Kelvin was sent to the space station on an ocean planet Solaris because the scientists there were acting weird. When Kelvin arrived, he is perplexed by the remaining scientist while his deceased ex-wife appears in front of him mysteriously. Solaris is billed as a sci-fi movie. Yet there is nothing much “sci-fi” about it. Solaris has long been hailed as an “intellectual sci-fi” movie along with Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Interestingly, Tarkovsky watched 2001 before he made Solaris and dismissed it as cold and sterile. ... "
