The Aviator - Two thumbs way up. Should win Best Picture and Best Director, in my opinion. a great mix of spectacle and human drama made by someone who clearly loves everything about making movies. Cate Blanchet (spelling?) was my favourite part of the movie.

I'm not kidding. Re-open it. One page of Movie Tab is no different in size to one page of Movie Tab II. You're not downloading the whole thread everytime you visit on page of it.

I'm not yet mid-way through the Portland International Film Festival, but I've already seen nine movies since Friday. I'll be seeing the Iranian film Turtles Can Fly tonight. Last night in addition to Шиzа (Schizo), which is a Kazakhstan/Russia production, I also saw the German flick The Edukators.
These are the best I've seen so far... http://www.nwfilm.org/piff/films/ima...---Vietman.jpg http://www.nwfilm.org/piff/films/images/Edukators.jpg
http://www.nwfilm.org/piff/films/ima...-light_002.jpg http://www.icecorp.is/media/files/fi....Poster.En.jpg Millions and Dear Frankie are both sweet and well-made Brit flicks but a little too slight to be really great, The Ballad of Jack & Rose has some great performances but suffers from an unfocused narrative and Schizo while good but far from spectacular if nothing else it is a very interesting look at the societal margins inside Kazakhstan. Mercano the Martian, a cartoon from Argentina, was the only real waste of time thus far. Only internet quality at best, it's not terribly funny and it awkwardly attempts to graft social commentary into the nonsense. It does have a decnet punchline, but not really worth the ride to get there. As for The Merchant of Venice, it's one of Billy Shakespeare's most problematic plays...and the movie is no different. Pretty faithful adaptation by Michael Radford (Il Postino), but while lovely to look at ultimately this one leaves me cold. Pacino is not the problem however. Al of course is an actor who goes over-the-top more often than not (unfortunately), but here he is quite controlled and actually manages to bring a good deal of humanity to the character of Shylock - which isn't always easy when you look at the way Shakespeare wrote the role. Jeremy Irons is fine as Antonio, but I continue to have a problem with Joseph Finnes. I just don't buy him as a credible screen presence. The shifting tones of the play/film are awkward to me, the perfect example being the dramatic hearing where Shylock wants his pound of flesh but Portia turns up disguised as a man as the scholar who settles the matter. There's too much comedy mixed in with what I think is hard to take as anything but tragedy. But that's the real problem of this play and makes it difficult to determine what Shakespeare was trying to say about Jews, if much of anything at all other than using them as stereotypes. That problem will continue to hang over the play, no matter who adapts the movie from it. ANYway, those three films I highlighted are all very much worth seeing. |
