The Best Event Video: Avatar vs The Hurt Locker

Merry — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 08:49:02 +0000

All night long directors of both films kept their breath waiting for the results. Somebody was satisfied, while others were definitely not. Avatar of James Cameron won in three categories, and The Hurt Locker took six of them. No doubt, The Hurt Locker is a good and quality film about war, but its victory seems a bit strange.

Some critics suggested their point of view about the issue. Here I have some general factors that might have influenced this year’s results:
•    Social message. People prefer dramas to sci-fi stories. The thing is life stories are closer and more familiar to them than an unknown and fictional world of Pandora. The Americans tend to cheer for the U.S. success war operations in The Hurt Locker rather than watch their defeat in Avatar.
•    Age. The majority of viewers are senior. They have got used to movies that are standard. How can they appreciate the miracle of 3D? Besides, not a single sci-fi film has resulted the best according to the Academy.
•    Completely New. Avatar was a shock for most people who have not seen anything like this in their life. There were several similar precedents in Academy history. Innovations, 3D, new technique – that is not for Oscar.
•    Personal Affection. We could see during the event that voters are inclined to obey blindly their feelings. They have an idol and follow his each step exclaiming how perfect he or she is. And no matter what in reality is. The same happened on the red carpet this year. Just remember the cases of Meryl Strip or George Clooney. And James Cameron, on the contrary, was creamed. What should we love him for?

Well, for this or that reason the best film of these days was beaten by a standard one. Is it fair?

Blockbuster Video New Release: Shutter Island

Merry — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:33:46 +0000

The industry of filmmaking does not stop surprising fans of good movie by a great number of new releases lately. One of the latest ones presented in Blockbuster rental stores is Shutter Island.

The film Shutter Island was released in February, 2010. The plot is based on the novel of the same name written by Dennis Lehane. The work on the film began in March, 2008 and finished at the end of 2009. At first, the movie was supposed to be released earlier, but the work took longer than expected. Shutter Island is directed by a world famous director Martin Scorsese.

The story goes about Chuck Aule and Teddy Daniels (played by Mark Ruffalo and Leonardo DiCaprio respectively) who team up to find a criminally insane patient who has escaped to an island off the coasts of Massachusetts where he was kept. During their investigation they face a web of lies and deceptions, and even nature happenings. In the end the things turn upside down when it becomes clear that Teddy is also a mental patient kept in the hospital for several years because of killing his wife. A so called investigation was nothing more than a role play invented by doctors so as to help him live out delusional fantasy and return to the reality.

The first night of the Shutter Island took place as a part of the 60th Berlin International Film Festival on 13th February, 2010. The film critics spot aesthetic taste and intellectual plot. The film appeals the audience by exciting puzzles but does not involve emotionally. Actually, there are diverse opinions on the Shutter Island, but anyway the overwhelming majority of them are positive.

5 Superheroines in Video

Merry — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 13:23:42 +0000

We have heard so many times about superheroes, any celebrity would envy their popularity though it is fictional. But who knows at least five superheroines from TV series, movies, cartoons, comics and so on. Here I have the description of five superheroines whose presence in a movie or a cartoon was a sensation.

• Meet Alice – a superheroine from well known Resident Evil movie. The character of Alice was specially created for the movie and was perfectly performed by Milla Jovovich. Alive is a security operative who works for the Umbrella Corp. She suffers from amnesia in the first part of Resident Evil. Then from series to series the situation around her is getting clear. Alice is portrayed as a tough and rugged girl.

• The next character is Chun-Li presented in a popular Chinese video game Street Fighter. Her name can be translated as “beautiful spring”. Chun-Li is an undercover Interpol agent who fights for good.

• The third finctional character was created for popular TV series Buffy: The Vampire Slayer. Her name is Faith Lehane. The girls sas supernatural abilities and fights with such evil beings as vampires. The superheroine Faith Lehane was portrayed by Eliza Dushku. The story became so popular that a new comic book started developing the plot.

• And one more time the character performed by Milla Jovovich from The Fifth Element movie. I think no comments are necessary – the film is known to anyone. A bold ginger is definitely the best.

• And the last but not the least superheroine is Niobe from the Matrix: Reloaded and The Matrix: Revolutions. The character of Niobe is played by Jada Pinkett Smith. Niobe comes from Zion who takes part in the war against the Matrix. Brave and clever, she managed to conquer minds of multiple viewers.

YouTube Video: Invisible Man Mystery

Merry — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 14:19:46 +0000

I suggest that we step aside from nature topic with Dangerous & Charming: Video of Venus Flytrap. Now I would prefer to discuss and watch something more romantic and classic. Surfing the Internet, I came across a good video of The Invisible Man. So that is what I offer to watch now.

You know, The Invisible Man is not only a science fiction novella written by H. G. Wells and filmed later on. If you type in the words in Google searching line, you will find a dozen of Invisible Man titles. Let’s take, for example, a British and U.S. television series that are both based on the original story. Even an animated television series named The Invisible Man appeared. The only thing is indubitable, the plot of the story has become one of the most popular of all times. Taking into consideration that the story was written as early as 1897, it seems surprising and amazing that the story about an invisible man lives till these days. I think that an incredible success of The Invisible Man is hidden in its plot that reveals an unusual man with dramatic yet charming life story. What is more, it is based on the mystery, which has always driven a lot of attention.

By the way, not only filmmaking industry was attracted by The Invisible Man. Several pop and rock bands performed songs under this title. Among these bands there is, for example, Queen, 98 degrees, Theory of a Deadman. In the last century another two novels with The Invisible Man title were published – a novel by Ralph Ellison and a novel by Geza Gardonyi. I wonder if the story of an invisible man still inspires novelists, filmmakers and singers. I suppose we will see it in the future. And now let’s enjoy what we already have.

Platoon: Barber Video Clip

Merry — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 10:08:52 +0000

Maybe we shall step aside from funny topic of Top 10 Irritating Commercial Videos for some time. The thing is surfing the worldwide web I have come across the fact that not only modern music styles and trends are flourishing, but some examples of previous years has also its meaning today. And this meaning is significant. Let’s take for example Samuel Barber’s works of art that till today can be heard in the most popular films. Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings can be heard in such films as an Oscar nominated The Elephant Man movie shot by David Lynch; Amelie, which is a world known Oscar nominated film by Jean-Pierre Jeunet; documentary Sicko from Michael Moor; or Platoon, the film that got an Academy Award. And there list is to be continued.

One of the most popular resurrections of Adagio you can see in Platoon, the film which has had enormous success. Platoon is considered one of the strongest war films of all times.

In other words, his music works frequently appear on TV, video and even video games. I have always admired that some musicians as well as poets gain immortality thanks to their work. As Samuel Barber said writing songs he immerses in them and music flows out of them. Nobody could find more beautiful words. So, I suggest that we immerse into magnificent world of music and feel its power.

But not only film directors admire Samuel Barber’s genius. Adagio was included by P. Diddy into Notorious B.I.G. “I’ll be missing you.” extended version. It was also performed in the year of 2001 to commemorate the victims of September 11 terrorist attacks. In other words, the song has a rich and diverse history (it is hard to believe that Adagio was composed as early as 1936) and seems to become even more popular in the course of time.

Meet Again With the Genius of Cameron in “Avatar”

Merry — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 09:48:01 +0000

Before Christmas holidays we received a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the real cinema masterpiece – the film “Avatar” shot by James Cameron, the film-director of the legendary “Titanic”. “Avatar” won first place at the box office for the second weekend in a row and reached the $1 billion milestone worldwide.

Even if you don’t appreciate science-fiction I’m sure you would be greatly impressed by this film. So, what can you expect from this film?, new ideas, extraordinary and fantastic world, which seems to be real, special effects, more of 150 minutes without relapsing – and it’s not all that is awaiting for you while watching this film.

Pandora, the planet where the story takes place, strikes everybody by its overwhelming beauty. The wild life, the jungle, the animals, the Na’vi-s, or the dragon-like flying creatures are all so life-like, that they almost pop-off the screen

What about feelings after viewing “Avatar”?

Cameron would not be Cameron if he hadn’t not captured the attention of the audience and held it from the very beginning and up to the end of the film.

You may notice that music in “Avatar” practically does not stop for a minute (even during the dialogues of the heroes). The sound wave embraces you, smoothly or sharply lifting and lowering your impressions. What it is possible to tell? The film is surprisingly colorful, it is possible to tell, that it’s mysteriously colorful.

“Avatar” is full of associations, allegories and allusions. The pictures stir you imagination .The power of the film is great - it causes emotions, penetrates directly into subconsciousness. The film is not simple, it opens before you a lot of sides of life, and it is multidimensional in all senses.

“Avatar” is a movie experience to be remembered, it’s a movie, which is worth seeing.

I’m sure, that “Avatar” will continue to enjoy plenty of success.

Basic Instinct Video Clips - The Hottest Video Is Here

Merry — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:02:23 +0000

Today we are passing on from keeping fit videos to the hot topic of Basic Instinct video clips. Nobody would argue that the story is dearly beloved by millions of men and women all over the world. Not without reason the film has received so many awards. My nostalgia requires remembering some scenes. And I hope to find like-minded people for that.

It seems to me unnecessary to tell about the film’s plot. But I am sure that some facts may be of interest to get to know. Do you know that Sharon Stone was offered a role thanks to her “Total Recall” perfect performance? At the same time it amazes that she was the only actress from the fourteen approved to agree for the role of Catherine Tramell. Among the actresses supposed to be Catherine were Julia Roberts, Kim Basinger, Meg Ryan and others. Michael Douglas, a former racer, performed the majority of stuns himself without the help of a stunt man. Paul Verhoeven was obliged to remount the best known scene 14 times so that the film could pass censoring.

In comparison with the Basic Instinct film its sequel, which was released as early as 2006, was a complete failure. Well, it goes without saying that a sequel is always compared with an original. And as a rule an original wins, and a “poor sequel” faces strong critics. Basic Instinct 2 was even “honored” with four Golden Raspberry awards for the worst film, the worst female role, the worst sequel and the worst plot. Impressive, isn’t it?

Basic Instinct release dates back to the year of 1992. But it was before the release when the first explosion of polemics flared up. Among others Basic Instinct was criticized by gay rights activists because the film involved negative stereotypes of lesbians. Anyway, the film is a real hit surrounded by multiple talks and rumors, which proves its value and quality.
