First Position

A First Position Films production. Produced by Bess Kargman. Executive Producer, Rose Caiola. Directed by Bess Kargman.With: Aran Bell, Michaela DePrince, Joan Sebastian Zamora, Rebecca Houseknecht, Gaya Bommer Yemini, Miko Fogarty, Jules Fogarty, Denys Ganio, Viktor Kabaniaev, Michelle Lees, Flavio Salazar, Bo Spassoff, Stephanie Spassoff, Larissa Saveliev. (English, Spanish, French, Hebrew dialogue)Never putting a foot wrong, touching, enormously satisfying docu "First Position," from tyro helmer Bess Kargman, follows six gifted ballet students from disparate social, regional, economic and ethnic backgrounds as they prepare for the Youth America Grand Prix, a prestigious competition at which the world's top dance companies and schools prospect for new talent. Poised for breakout success, the pic combines the built-in drama, tension and suspense of docus such as "Spellbound," with exciting, beautifully lensed variations performed by the virtuosos of the future. Pic is pirouetting with potential buyers following its Toronto fest world preem. Every year, more than 5,000 aspiring dancers worldwide, ages 9-19, enter the Grand Prix, hoping to win scholarships, kudos and job contracts. Out of that number, only 300 make it into the NY City finals. Although all six of helmer Kargman's subjects have sacrificed a so-called "normal" childhood for their art, and share tenacity, dedication and maturity beyond their years, their backstories differ vastly. The pic intelligently delves into their home lives, spending time with them and their families so that viewers can understand what has shaped them. Adopted from an orphanage in Sierra Leone as a tot by a warmly supportive Jewish family in Philadelphia, Michaela, 14, matter-of-factly shares recollections of her birth parents' murder and of being unable to save a teacher dismembered by rebel soldiers. She longs to prove that black ballerinas can be as delicate and graceful as any others. Serious Joan Sebastian, 16, from Cali, Colombia, trains in NY under the tutelage of a former American Ballet Theater dancer. Every time he calls home, he is reminded about the sacrifices his parents make on his behalf and their high expectations of him. Beautiful, blonde all-American princess Rebecca, 17, from suburban Maryland, appears to have it all: looks, talent and the perfect ballet body. She aspires to join a professional company rather than attend college, even though such jobs are increasingly scarce. Half-Japanese Miko, 12, from Palo Alto also wants to be a professional, an aspiration that her mother tries to force on Miko's younger brother Jules, even though he lacks his sister's artistry and interest. Meanwhile, Aran Bell, 11, won't allow anything to prevent him from dancing. The son of a navy doctor, he travels two hours every day from his father's military base to Rome in order to train with Denys Ganio, former principal dancer of the Ballet Marseilles. Rounding out Kargman's pool of well-chosen subjects is astonishingly emotive Israeli pixie Gaya, also 11 and equally adept in ballet and modern dance. She's Aran's best friend on the competition circuit and the daughter of noted Israeli choreographer Nadine Bommer. As the articulate youngsters evince personality, poise and passion as well as physical grace and a necessary resilience, their parents and instructors provide another perspective on the true costs for them to follow their dreams (and in their varied attitudes toward the success of their offspring, the adults also provide much of the film's humor). Helmer Kargman, once a young dancer herself, demonstrates ample knowledge of and passion for ballet life. Her crisply shot, smartly assembled pic provides, without pandering, an inspiring human-interest story that will hold up well under repeat viewings. Final credit crawl brings viewers up to date with the subjects' lives post-Grand Prix.Camera (color, DV), Nick Higgins; editors, Kate Amend, Kargman; music, Chris Hajian; sound, Eric Thomas (Dolby Digital); associate producers, Jennilyn Merten, Nick Higgins.

Revenge

Shot in New You are able to by ABC Art galleries. Executive producers, Mike Kelley, Marty Bowen, Wyck Godfrey, Phillip Noyce producers, Randy Sutter, Samantha Thomas director, Noyce author, Kelley.Emily Thorne - Emily VanCamp Victoria Grayson - Madeleine Stowe Conrad Grayson - Henry Czerny Daniel Grayson - Josh Bowman Jack Porter - Nick Wechsler Nolan Ross - Gabriel Mann Ashley Davenport - Ashley Madekwe Charlotte now now Grayson - Christa B. Allen Declan Porter - Connor Paolo The money, energy and privilege connected while using Hamptons can be a ripe setting for just about any evening time cleaning cleaning soap, together with a young lady bent on revenge against people responsible for her father's disgrace and dying when she will be a child can be as good a beginning point every. Yet "Revenge" does less than pop, despite a dent or dimple murder to produce the wheels moving. Despite the fact that show includes the symbol for infinity, if this involves timelines, producing an entire season order offers a more pressing concern. Part of the problem has associated with Emily VanCamp ("Brothers and sisters & Brothers and sisters"), who is just a little too sweet and apple-cake as Emily Thorne, the alluring youthful lady who occupies residence among the ostentatiously wealthy set, with tabs on exacting you-know-what. After attempting to hook audiences while using murkily shot slaying about the moonlit beach, the series jumps back "five several days earlier," as Emily quickly wangles an event invitation with a lavish party thrown by Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe), known to since the "reigning full in the Hamptons." Soon, though, that crown begins to relaxation uneasily, as Emily sets about her elaborate plot in the local gentry, including using Victoria's boy (Josh Bowman) -- who immediately takes the bait by setting his sights on Emily -- in the family. The initial hour (shot in New You are able to, with series production shifting west to Manhattan Beach, Calif.) features philandering husbands and catty snubs, auguring the "Dallas"-like doings later on. Ultimately, though, people elements will have to to experience a existence that goes for them, since Emily getting satisfaction against all the key players should be deferred to supply the title any meaning or suspense. "Revenge" teases out its story by flashing in 2 ways -- not just in which the pilot begins, but furthermore by Emily recalling how all her targets carried out employment inside the elaborate, high-finance plan that presented her father. Knowing a collection such as this with the pilot one more episode is tantamount to searching in a magazine good prologue, nevertheless the show mirrors many a Hamptons resident when you're too thin due to its very own good. Stowe (who inside an odd footnote co-starred in "Revenge," the 1990 Kevin Costner pic) might be the apparent standout since the brittle, callous bitch who rules her status-conscious social circle, there's however hardly any yet to differentiate Victoria from a number of divas past and provide. That leaves VanCamp, whose innocence might disarm her prey but furthermore doesn't establish her just like a Machiavellian schemer while using grit or assets to produce the whole stinking (if fantastically decorated) house of cards falling lower. Series creator Mike Kelley did create a compelling cleaning cleaning soap in CBS' short-were living "Swingtown," and Phillip Noyce directed the pilot. Their resumes, however, bode better for "Revenge" in comparison to timeslot, an hour or so approximately where ABC has fought beginning new shows. Because even if you will discover traces of "Desperate Regular folksInch in "Revenge's" DNA, ABC's latest serial feels oh-so-last decade, which, mainly within the Hamptons, is about as thematically stylish as wearing white-colored after Labor Day.Camera, Chris Manley production designer, Devorah Herbert editor, Martin Nicholson music, Izler casting, Elizabeth Barnes, Corbin Bronson. 60 MIN.

Crazy Equine: Film Review

The initial scene in Ernest Wiseman's initial documentary, 39 films and 44 years back, centered on an audio lesson-and-dance number being carried out on the cabaret-sized stage. Granted, the artists were male inmates in the Bridgewater Condition Hospital for that criminal insane in Massachusetts, the topics from the breaking and depressing Titicut Follies. A lot of the running duration of Crazy Equine is spent watching entertainers cavort on the small stage too, but this time around those are the virtually naked youthful women with perfect physiques who star within the most celebrated and venerable exotic dance club on the planet, the eponymous club at 12, Avenue George V in Paris.our editor recommendsMartin Scorseses George Harrison Doc, Ernest Wisemans 'Crazy Horse' to operate in San SebastianRelated Subjects•Toronto Worldwide Fil... On can scarcely blame the truly amazing veteran filmmaker to be enticed with a better searching cast and much more congenial location at this time in the career, because he's certainly gained it. Almost as much ast he did in the two previous dance films, Ballet and La danse-Le ballet p l'Opera p Paris, Wiseman has perceptively revealed the procedure and caused by a complicated group artistic enterprise. Already proven at festivals in Telluride, Venice and Toronto and approaching in San Sebastian, NY, London and elsewhere, the film opens throughout France on March. 5 to coincide using the 60th anniversary from the boite. You will find a lot of things Wiseman's film isn't: Eschewing, as always for him, any voice-over or historic information, it provides no background concerning the starting of "Le Crazy" in 1951 or its colorful founder and longtime operator Alain Bernardin, nor exist clips of the items the shows were really like within the past. There's no details about what's occurred because the Bernardin family offered its stake within the enterprise in 2005, which leaves one speculating concerning the existing energy structure, how lengthy the folks onscreen happen to be there and exactly what the pecking order is. There's no backstory whatsoever, which proves frustrating once the dynamics of running the club and inventive control are in problem, that is frequently. Most disappointingly, the ballroom dancers never obtain close-ups whether by choice or by some enforced arrangement, Wiseman doesn't approach the attractive women to provide them the opportunity to tell their side of the items it's prefer to work on the Crazy Equine, if this sounds like something they imagined about, the way it effects the relaxation of the lives, how people see them and so forth. We take notice of the technical, operational and artistic sides of the items adopts wearing this specific show, but never in the entertainers' perspective. What Wiseman grabs, however, may be the chance to produce an impressionistic portrait of the highly rarified realm, a small sanctuary from real existence in which the refined expression of sensuality, eroticism and, according to the title from the new show the film documents, desire may be the be-all and finish-all. Superbly wrought images capture the dancing, the costumes, the easy but elegant and configurations and, obviously, the exquisitely formed women, very frequently enhanced by striking and complicated lighting techniques and backed by generally appealing tunes and techno tempos. You could simply go through the film like a warm, gentle, sexy shower of comparable but ever-altering images and be pleased with that. However the film is split up between your presentation of finished amounts and also the illustration showing what must be done to obtain there, from picking a costumes and also the brushing of hairpieces towards the taking of bookings and also the aiming of champagne on each table. We have seen rehearsals, by which we learn, amongst other things, the women don't similar to touching each other throughout the amounts. Then you will find the artistic strategy periods, where the choreographer, recognized only as Philippe in conversation (but who's, actually, Philippe Decoufle, a very respected dancer and choreographer hired in 2008 and designated to stage the brand new "Desirs" show, which opened up on Sept. 21, 2009) attempts to convince his bosses they should shut lower for some time to provide him time for you to solely exercise the new production. It doesn't appear he been successful, however it's never entirely obvious. Artistic director Ali Mahdavi (similarly unknown) goes so on philosophizing in an exceedingly French and almost amusing way concerning the philosophical and emotional facets of female erotic dance. There's an excellent throwaway sequence where the women, backstage, watch amusing bloopers from Russian ballet performances showing great ballroom dancers staggering around and inadvertently sliding offstage. Within an absorbing audition interlude, the film ironically provides more individualization of challengers of computer ever does of individuals already in the organization. The perfect Crazy is simple to describe: Uniform height, nice legs, sticking out roundish derriere, smallish breasts and trim physique. The tryouts allow it to be obvious that excessively vulgar or rock-style dancing has gone out-of-place here, as will be the more apparent and voluptuous physiques of strippers. Apparently, the majority of the ballroom dancers in the club nowadays come from Russia and Eastern Europe but, given that they're permitted scarcely a thing, it's a rumor the film doesn't verify. Should you're not taken with, or possess some objection to, watching beautiful women dancing within their birthday suits, this may be a lengthy sit, a lot more than it already reaches 128 minutes. But even brief contact with the artistic impulse and visual creativeness behind the amounts here verifies the appeal the Crazy Equine has for males and ladies, something underscored through the predominance of couples within the audience. Both film and what's captures are striking and true, meaning Wiseman has traveled both very far and never whatsoever from Titicut Follies.

TV Guide Magazine spoke with Thomas Scott to obtain the scoop on her behalf account return and what really went lower between her as well as the cent-pinchers. TV Guide Magazine: Finally, the good thing for Y&R, a demonstrate that could really put it to use at this time around. When you are away, the ratings are actually losing constantly. How are things feeling about all this?Johnson Scott: I'm thrilled to become coming back. Whatever weirdness made a decision to get this to all happen now seems being gone. They have plainly and out of the blue appreciate me again in the way that [Y&R creator] Bill Bell did previously. That is nothing against [current Y&R chief] Maria Bell and If only to create that very apparent. Lots of people are actually misled and think that all this remains Maria's fault which isn't the problem. I haven't had any ill will toward her through this complete factor. She has been great and incredibly encouraging. TV Guide Magazine: Just what did happen? Why did the important thing lady concerning the No. 1 cleaning cleaning soap out of the blue vanish?Thomas Scott: This can be a tough question. I am unable to make believe you realize certainly, being the victim here. The brand new the new sony would want to show you, that they'll not. TV Guide Magazine: You aren't leaving that easy! Can you accept is as true was financial?Thomas Scott: Yes, I really do however it wasn't handled perfectly. I've experienced e-commerce since i have have was three and that i understand disappears. In case your show gets difficulties with money or budget they call the actor very appropriately and say, "There exists a little financial crunch here. Let's make an effort to work something out, okay?" That's what should have happened. The problem was that this kind of mobile call was not ever made to me which i continued to be inside the lurch. Had they acquired the phone in March or April and basically mentioned two or three sentences in my opinion, no may have happened. But nobody mentioned anything, which started to acquire a little odd right after times of no more working. I'd make contact with for my shooting schedule after i usually do and be told, "You've another week off." Which saved happening every every week. Your fans started needing to pay concentrate on all this and were asking me, "Are you currently presently departing the show?" I'd not a clue items to say or why I wasn't working. Then all hell made an appearance to destroy lose. Everybody was saying I'd asked for a leave of absence. False. They were saying, "Oh, Tune, desires to spend a while along with her new grandbaby twins." False. [Laughs] Well, clearly I really do desire to spend a while together however wouldn't quit my job regarding this! Then, when Twitter bought this, it increased being a massive worldwide situation. I owe my return to the fans. Without Twitter, I am unsure that we might be coming back. I really attribute it compared to that. It's incredible. Social networking, baby! TV Guide Magazine: The issue made an appearance being inflammed in June by Maria herself within the Emmys when she assured us inside the press room you'd be coming back - however that was following by a few more several days of bupkis.Thomas Scott: Well, again, it is not her fault. Really, I believed what she mentioned within the Emmys was great because it provided some real hope - hope I didn't have until your evening. I'd rather not function as one going for a chance why they did whatever they did and why they finally found me after they did, aside from to convey I'm thrilled to possess this complete ugly five several days done well as over. Strange unpredicted unexpected things happen in this business. I am unsure that individuals ever define the key reason why things come down the way they do. I merely understand it was not ever my decision being gone. TV Guide Magazine: So, to clarify, you've now signed a completely new contract while using show?Thomas Scott: Yes, it is a new contract. TV Guide Magazine: Where was CBS in many this? Neglecting the issue? Didn't anybody within the network make an effort to a part of to correct this mess?Thomas Scott: I really don't think CBS understood anything relating to this, which i recognize that sounds strange but, over time that's virtually been the problem with me at night. Discussions will be hell. TV Guide Magazine: Didn't you uncover it shocking that, despite Sony's supposed money crisis, the show saved employing new stars? How could they never pay out but nonetheless find dough for individuals these Aussies nobody wants to check out?Johnson Scott: I am not departing comments on that. TV Guide Magazine: Alrighty then. So what's happening plot-wise when Nikki returns?Thomas Scott: Well, I am unable to discuss it really yet however wound up benefiting from good plot from Maria and, you understand me, I never call your brain author and ask for what will happen. I did so it this time around around because I felt it had been vital. If Nikki only decided to be apt to be serving tea and being Victor's slave I wouldn't want to come back for the. TV Guide Magazine: But we like to it when Nikki is Victor's slave! It's been happening for thirty years!Johnson Scott: Well, Nikki clearly doesn't mind. Yes, he's psychologically abusive to her. And, yes, if you have been, lots of couples available who're identical way. I don't have a problem with view of that. I merely don't want youthful kids to think about this is one way it's stated to become. Anyway, I am unable to let guess what happens Maria described, however it is very exciting. TV Guide Magazine: Give to us something, toy! Is "exciting" story a completely new direction for Nikki? Surely there's some small vague crumb you'll be able to pass our way.Thomas Scott: Well, apparently Nikki remains missing for a while. The rehab factor only made it this type of very long time now she's disappeared and it is doing alternative activities, that's a few things i can't inform you of at this time around. However, if she finally returns home you will discover some large issues happening with numerous people and will also create large problems. TV Guide Magazine: Okay, vague enough. Is Nikki's booze problem behind her?Thomas Scott: [Laughs] Oh, God, I am hoping not! TV Guide Magazine: Isn't she one of several who-destroyed-Diane suspects? But wait, how can that be? No matter the amount of "special shakes" Nikki drank, she'd never kill Diane. It's plain crazy.Thomas Scott: [Laughs] Again, I'm not departing comments. I really don't get that analytical relevant for this stuff. I'm okay using what you need to do with this particular story however frequently hear there's a interesting twist in it, something you aren't expecting. It is not my worry. I'm just happy I'm coming back to Y&R which I'm not serving tea! Subscribe to TV Guide Magazine now!

Your Sister's Sister: Toronto Review

Following up Humpdaywith another low-rent charmer of a thirtysomething dude searching for his way, Lynn Sheltonmoves from two- to three-character dynamics within your Sister's Sister. Even though it lacks the crazy premise that aided the ultimate film break through, the writerOroverseer's growing status should ensure an eager audience at theaters. Returning from Humpday(and in some manner finding time between their very own burgeoning behind-the-camera career with brother Jay), Mark Duplassplays Jack, who's deeply deeply in love with nearest friend Iris (Emily Blunt) but hasn't had the chance to pursue her since the dying of his brother, Iris's ex-boyfriend, this past year. Seeking some mind-clearing privacy at Iris's father's island getaway in Puget Appear, Jack rather finds Iris's sister Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt), licking her wounds after ending a seven-year lesbian relationship. The Two stars play fantastically off each other -- DeWitt dryly tolerating undesirable company, Duplass endearingly over-explaining every infelicitous act or comment. One bottle of tequila and several very funny banter later, the two use a sexual encounter so one-about the sides and quick it might guarantee Hannah stays with women afterwards. The inevitable morning-after clumsiness is magnified when Iris appears surprise and Jack without effort knows she mustn't uncover what went lower in their bed mattress. Shelton could easily have continued to be here, mining clumsiness and anxiety for just about any laugh-filled half an hour before giving Jack and Iris a rom-com connection. But she pushes the scenario, adding a whopper from the disloyality that moves the needle from comedy to family-crisis mode, and (thanks only to constantly-engaging performances) proves she's range beyond cringe comedy.

'Pure cinema' at Venice?

In Amir Naderi's "Cut," one of the most divisive records in the 68th annual Venice Film Festival, a Japanese cinephile subjects themself to a steady flow of physical abuse within the title of "pure cinema." Recognized by estimable tastemakers like Positif's Michel Ciment and ignored by my Variety friend Leslie Felperin as "overweeningly pretentious," Naderi's picture -- surely the very first movie to incorporate the dramatic unveiling from the protagonist's listing of the 50 finest films ever -- would be a serving of high-finish critical catnip, catering most probably towards the most stringent and rarefied notions of the items a movie ought to be.I'll allow Naderi and the self-flagellating alter ego to determine what is meant by "pure cinema," an idea favorite by Hitchcock but never a simple someone to parse. Still, I suspect the "Cut" contingent might have did not approve of point about this year's Venice selection, given picking a such mainstream-contaminated individuals as Steven Soderbergh's "Contagion," from that impure well-known as Hollywood, and also the Wallis Simpson romance "W.E.," from that impure well-known as Madonna. (I am truly sad to possess skipped "W.E.," which appears to possess been a greatly enjoyable experience for fans and detractors alike.)Obviously, if pure cinema is understood to be filmmaking liberated in the classical influences of literature or theater, you might instantly have to eliminate a few of the greatest-profile game titles competing. Countering the the usual understanding that Hollywood rarely looks towards the theater for dramatic inspiration any longer, the play was greatly the one thing at Venice this season.The very first three game titles to screen competing counseled me attracted from legit sources: George Clooney's political drama "The Ides of March," greatly broadened from Love Willimon's play "Farragut North" Roman Polanski's four-way snipefest "Carnage," faithfully modified from Yasmina Reza's "God of Carnage" and David Cronenberg's period piece "A Harmful Method," largely attracted from Christopher Hampton's "The Speaking Picture." (Incidentally, it had been Hampton who converted "God of Carnage" from French into British, though Polanski's film utilizes a different interpretation.)Ongoing the theater trend was among the later competition records, "Killer Joe," William Friedkin's second Tracy Letts adaptation following his cultish "Bug." From competition, festival honoree Al Pacino revealed his "Wilde Salome," a documentary tribute to some play that he's lengthy nursed an individual passion.These various stage-to-screen adaptations had their merits, though even the best revealed a possibly inevitable formal tension. If Cronenberg's Jung-versus.-Freud psychodrama struck me because the most effective from the lot, it's largely since the helmer and Hampton have selected to embrace instead of understate the talkiness from the material, honing its ideas right into a razor-sharp, intellectually bracing text that turns argumentation into potent drama.Novel adaptations, too, were built with a formidable competition presence, and not even close to despoiling the Lido's motion picture Eden, many of them found inventive movie methods to tough literary problems. Tomas Alfredson's "Mess, Tailor, Soldier, Spy," which handled the unenviable task of blending John Le Carre's modern spy classic into approximately two hrs, surprised everybody by not creating a mad dash with the material, but rather moving with similar hypnotic sophistication and easy the director's earlier "Let the correct one In."Working further outdoors the back-up, Andrea Arnold fashioned something raw and vital together with her revisionist, racially billed "Wuthering Levels." Although the film might be about 15 or twenty minutes shorter and it is marred by some inexpert performances from the largely non-professional cast, its real star, d.p. Robbie Ryan, captures images of these wild, untamed beauty regarding justify this umpteenth stab at Emily Bronte's novel. (It had been certainly scheduled about the right day, as individuals people hurrying to determine it found ourselves swept up inside a brief but decidedly Bronte-esque windstorm.)But no literary reinvention demonstrated more experimental or challenging than Alexander Sokurov's nearly 2 1/2-hour "Faust," an uncategorizable oddity that offered because this year's designated high-art endurance test (every fest needs one). A willfully eccentric reading through from the Goethe text, the Russian auteur's latest opus was by turns tiresome and moving, alternating passages of exquisite beauty with spasms of grotesque imagery that appeared nearer to old-school Cronenberg compared to actual Cronenberg film competing. Pure cinema? Not quite there wasn't a wordier, more exhaustingly subtitle-heavy film competing.At the chance of being known as a cinema purist myself, my very own personal faves happened to possess no associations with pre-existing texts, and even performed remarkably for their directors' visual talents. The most powerful film I saw in Venice, "Shame," is really a wrenching drama of sexual addiction where the bold, muscular arrangements are as strongly significant because the kudo-worthy performances of Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan. And Greek helmer Yorgos Lanthimos did not dissatisfy me or any other "Dogtooth" lovers with "Alps," a bizarre, disquieting tale of deceit and mental transference that feels less shocking and out-there than its Oscar-nominated predecessor but demonstrates much more formal command.A mastery of mise-en-scene also distinguished "People Mountain People Ocean," a strikingly composed second feature from Chinese helmer Cai Shangjun, who required the 2010 surprise-film slot. Good because the movie was, "surprise" required on the new and uncomfortable meaning following the film's first screening was canceled because of subtitling issues and also the second screening was interrupted for any full half an hour following a false fire alarm sent audiences running for that exits. Of many technical glitches that affected Venice this season, in the frequent schedule changes and screening delays towards the improper three dimensional projection at Shimizu Takashi's "Tormented," the "People Wait People Worry" incident was undoubtedly probably the most embarrassing it befell a gifted new director making his debut on the exclusive worldwide stage basically compounded the indignity."People Mountain People Ocean" offered to suggest in the unevenness of the year's Asian selection, usually among Venice's strong suits. Ann Hui's tender, moving "An Easy Existence" would be a lovely option for your competition rather less so were Wei Te-sheng's bombastic "Players from the Rainbow: Seediq Bale," a kind of Taiwanese "Apocalypto" crippled by sprawling overlength (which was the short version), and Sion Sono's "Himizu," among the busy Japanese maverick's less with excitement received records. Elsewhere within the program, the concept of slotting Asian films simply with regard to slotting Asian films arrived at an arguable nadir with "The Wizard and also the Whitened Lizard," a CGI-clogged bore which had no real business premiering in a major festival.Still, by this writing, we haven't yet see "Existence Without Principle," the anticipated new film from Hong Kong genre master Johnnie To. Does it result in the "Cut" cut? You never know, but my very own personal pick for the reason that department could be "Inni," the most recent concert film in the popular Icelandic group Sigur Ros. Shot in black-and-whitened and managing a haunting, emotion-drenched 75 minutes, it's as pure an event from the cinema as I have had, and one of several causes of Venice audiences to become grateful.

Bad Movies We Love: The Main Event

Since Warrior and Tom Hardy are planning to beat us up this weekend, I figured we’d counter their attack by revisiting the least gripping boxing movie of all time: The Main Event (a.k.a. “A Glove Story”). If flaxen, dimpled, Dancing with the Stars candidate Ryan O’Neal is your idea of a prizefighter and Barbra Streisand is your idea of his grimy promoter, then The Main Event is the pugilist saga for you. Otherwise? It’s a terrifying medley of boner jokes and Barbra costuming. Ready to watch the stars of What’s Up, Doc? threaten to pummel each other in front of a screaming crowd? Ding-ding! Now for the most plausible synopsis of the past century: Barbra Streisand plays a perfumer named Hillary Kramer whose business manager steals her money, leaves her broke, and — would you look at that? — forces her into managing a crusty old boxer (Ryan O’Neal) whose career she once bought as a tax writeoff. As you can see, this mimics the story of Don King to an astounding degree. Hillary just needs to be convicted of manslaughter a couple times and this turns into a gender-neutral biopic. Let there be no mistake: The Main Event is an intentional comedy, one that sometimes tries to recall Peter Bogdanovich’s 1972 screwball classic What’s Up, Doc? in which Streisand and O’Neal costarred. Unfortunately, it’s a comedy that’s only funny during the serious moments, and grimly stupid during the “funny” ones. That’s bad and lovable, right there. I could probably watch it again and again, especially since Barbra turns a fine performance, all things considered. Though she dazzled us once before in a Bad Movie We Love with A Star is Born, you’ll find this film a bit tighter, more enjoyable, and somehow more tragic. That’s Ryan O’Neal bouncing around a boxing ring, after all, looking exactly like your dad. I guarantee it. Here are The Main Event’s five greatest perks, ranked for suspense purposes. 5. The Thrilla in the Disco! Much like in last week’s Bad Movie The Wiz (also a ‘79 joint), one feisty dance boosts the whole movie. There’s one key difference: The Wiz is a funky, soulful musical where a jive-ass jam like “Ease on Down the Road” is a perfect fit; in The Main Event, it’s a total non-sequitur after two hours of uppercuts and sweaty O’Neal faces. I don’t remember Million Dollar Baby ending with a few minutes of “Hey Ya,” do you? Whatever. Do boogie! 4. Boner jokez Just like you expected/feared, a romance springs up between Hillary and her client. As they find themselves sleeping together in a freezing cabin one night, Hillary announces, “If I’m arousing you, I understand completely.” After he denies that titillation, she follows up, “Then what’s that?” referring to a certain lump against her body. He retorts, “My foot.” And then, following more non-foreplay and after a makeout finally ensues, Hillary proclaims, “There’s your foot again!” Our boxing champ replies, “Ignore it.” Ahhhh, erections. Always great fun when discussed in the unsexiest sports movie since Brian’s Song. 3. Ryan and Barbra love pretending to slug each other! There’s a certain charm to the pugnacious energy between Ry and Babs. There’s also a certain terror. Note the fury in O’Neal’s face as Barbra insults his manhood, wears lilac better than he does, and saves this weird scene at the last minute with slapstick chops. Ali MacGraw wants her turn! 2. Raging Bull by way of ACME To give you an accurate depiction of what the boxing in this movie’s like, I give you this nugget of cinematic gold: While coaching Ryan O’Neal between rounds of a big fight, Barbra hastily throws ice down his shorts. Outraged, O’Neal returns to the ring and slays his opponent. I’m glad that traditional Tweety Pie pranks have practical applications in the boxing world, too. What’s next? She throws an anvil at his opponent? Wears roller skates powered by dynamite and tramples both fighters? Puts on a Tatum O’Neal mask, yells stuff about feeling neglected, and watches as Ryan’s rage lights up the city? Fine, I’d pay to see that one. 1. Barbra Streisand is a tall drink of water root beer. Forget boxing already. The Main Event is about Barbra costuming, Barbra hair that looks like one of Madonna’s loathsome hydrangeas, and the uncomfortable matching between the two. In the above picture, Barbra stands by Ryan’s decrepit truck dressed in hair-to-toe brown and looking like an A&W float served in parfait crystal. The A Star is Born perm is no help. In fact, it’s the un-hottest haircut of Barbra’s career, which is sad considering that in 1979, her awesome afro had died only recently. At her best in The Main Event, she dons legwarmers and sweats that would put a love crinkle in Jane Fonda’s spandex. At worst, she looks like a reject poodle bassist from the Muppet band. Somewhere in the middle is the definitive portrait of a Bad Movie We Love.

And So I jaywalked across seventh Avenue, and the same time frame I had been doing that, a silver Mercedes Vehicle comes barreling lower, or, I ought to say driving lower like she was designed to I had been the one that is at the incorrect there and almost struck me together with her vehicle.

John Moore Scores Die Hard 5

He'll direct the movie.... At the start of last month, it was revealed by the team at Twitch that Max Payne director John Moore was at the head of the list to bring John McClane back to our screens for the fifth, currently untitled Die Hard outing. Well, now things just took a turn for the official as 20th Century Fox has decided that he's the man for the gig. You might recall that the search was kicked off again after original choice Noam Murro was poached to make 300 spin-off Battle of Artemisia. While the likes of Joe Cornish, Justin Lin, Paul McGuigan, Gary Fleder and even Drive's Nicolas Winding Refn were considered (there's some part of us that would kill to see what Refn would've done with McClane's world), it ultimately came down to the all-important issue of pleasing Bruce Willis. We'd like to think the selection process involved interested directors having to run an obstacle course while Willis threw old wigs from his movies at them, but sadly it was a much more mundane series of meetings that saw Moore convince Brucie that he could handle the budget and deliver solid, CG-limited action. And that he loved McClane more than his own family. Well, maybe loved them equally...Now the amiable, sweary Irishman will be the man to shoot Skip Woods' script, which apparently finds McClane and his son dealing with a threat in Russia. But while we're talking about Bruce Willis picking directors, the Deadline story also includes a mention that the actor is now looking at possible people to take on the Red sequel for Summit since the first film's director Robert Schwentke is busy making R. I. P. D. Mention is made of Breck Eisner, but it's early days on that hunt right now....
