"Spoiler Alert: If you want the ending of Summer Palace to be a surprise, read no further.After watching two hours and twenty minutes of cigarette smoking in yet another Asian movie (see also my comments on the subject in my review of Drifters), I finally bestirred myself long enough to fish up the following news bites:"Guiyang, China — Here's some exciting medical news from the Chinese government: Smoking is great for your health. Cigarettes, according to China's tobacco authorities, are an excellent way to prevent ulcers. They also reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease, relieve schizophrenia, boost your brain cells, speed up your thinking, improve your reactions and increase your working efficiency." "With annual sales of 1.8 trillion cigarettes, the Chinese monopoly is responsible for almost one-third of all cigarettes smoked on the planet today. Two-thirds of Chinese men are smokers, and surveys show that as many as 90 per cent believe their habit has little effect on the ... "

"Despite the fact that I am often told that I have poor attention span, I had no problem getting caught up in Martin Scorsese's almost unbearably beautiful costume drama The Age of Innocence. I know that a lot of people find this film boring, but I wasn't among them, being drawn into a world that used to exist but is now gone forever. It might be surprising to find Scorsese adapting a novel that would seem more appropriate for Merchant/Ivory than a filmmaker known for gangster films, but the movie has so many Scorsese trademarks- long, showy camera moves, voiceover narration revealing the character's innermost thoughts, and a man caught between social ambitions and his inner desires. Based on the classic novel by Edith Wharton (which I have never read) the movie begins in the 1870's as New York attorney and aristocrat Newland Archer (Daniel Day-Lewis) is engaged to marry the young and beautiful socialite May (Winona Ryder). They seem to genuinely love each other and are set for ... "

"The polite society of nobility may seem an endless parade of teas, whispers, nods and dueling; boring, predictable. But in the glamorous world of the rich, cinched and nasty, they fuck others over as well as the rest of us more poorly dressed saps. Whereas the least fortunate of us end up perhaps in county lock-up, a pauper’s grave, or serving on jury duty, the wrong steps of an upper-class naughty-kin, could end perhaps in public shame at the Opera, or as the butt of everyone’s social “No-No” joke. The horror! But hey, punishment is all relative. Watch The Lifestyles of the Rich and Opulent implode for your entertainment in:The Age of Innocence, Barry Lyndon, Dangerous LiaisonsThe Age of Innocence Our hero Newland Archer is fucked from the second he lays eyes on the Countess Olenska, his betrothed’s slutty older cousin, who is world-weary and lookin’ for some action.

"Star Wars may have the most famous opening title sequence in film history, but in terms of influence it’s got nothing on the work of Saul Bass. He’s the brilliant graphic designer who gave us the animated credits for Hitchcock’s Vertigo, North by Northwest and Psycho and Scorsese’s Casino, Cape Fear, The Age of Innocence and Goodfellas and most of Otto Preminger’s work, including Exodus, Anatomy of a Murder and

"Moved from one Scorcese oddity the other night (The Color of Money), to another yesterday evening with this period piece. You can still see what drew him to the material - New York of the 1870s, betrayals and intrigue - almost a gentrified version of Goodfellas, where instead of getting 'wacked' you become a social outcast, excluded from invitations, gossiped about in smoking rooms, if you dare cross the line of honor and expected behavior. The opening 'ballroom' scene even reminded me a bit of the 'barroom introduction scene' in Goodfellas where the camera insinuates itself among the guests giving you little snippets of information about various characters.Newland (Daniel Day-Lewis) is such a wishy washy character to be put in the role of doomed lover, he secretly disapproves of the stiff conformity of his peers, yet never dares break from it completely, he longs for forbidden romance, yet can barely bring himself to make even the slightest moves towards ob ...
