Thanks to Nick Plowman for pointing out this brief taster of “Revolutionary Road,” arguably the most prestigious-on-paper of the upcoming Oscar bait. I found the footage too haphazardly edited to get much of a feel for the film, but we can safely say that it looks lovely, with Roger Deakins offering his trademark burnished sheen, and [...] ...

There have been many 4 star reviews of Pixar's latest film WALL•E (2008). Many reviewers are calling it is Pixar's best film to date, their most original, their best visual effort and so on. I liked the film a lot but I wasn't overwhelmed. Visually, the film is stunning. To raise the bar, Pixar went out and hired the world's best cinematographer (Roger Deakins) as a consultant. The result is that many scenes look like they were filmed like a real movie. This video podcast has some great information on the visual style of the film. WALL•E may be Pixar's best film to date but my favourites are still The Incredibles (2004) and Ratatouille (2007). WALL•E is the type of film that I could watch repeatedly and grow to appreciate. The first 30 minutes of the film is like a silent movie — there isn't any dialogue but the animation, sound effects and storytelling is so well done that it isn't missed. I was worried that the group of kids I saw the film with would find this boring. They weren't bored. They were mesmerized and they loved the film. Apple fanboys will get a kick out of WALL·E's startup sound which is the same as an older Macintosh. The white glossy robot EVE resembles a slick white iPod. Apple design chief, Jonathan Ive was involved in designing EVE for the film. Lastly, WALL·E enjoys watching the film Hello, Dolly! (1969) through an older video iPod with an enormous lens in front of the screen. Director Andrew Stanton claims that he w ... Source: celluloidtongue.blogspot.com --- 20 days ago
/Film has the trailer to Sam Mendes' Revolutionary Road , starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio sans icebergs. An adaptation of the acclaimed Richard Yates novel, Revolutionary Road is a domestic drama set in 1950s Conneticut. The trailer looks a little straighter than anything Mendes has previously shot - no apparitions of rose-petal-covered virgins, no towering pillars of flame - but bears his unmistakably classy eye for composition thanks to the work of his Jarhead lenser, the great Roger Deakins. I love all concerned, so colour me down. Also: Mendes, Winslet, DiCaprio and Deakins? A December drop in the US? Did someone say Oscars? Watch the trailer here . ...

"Esquerda, baixo, direita... Cima esquerda, baixo.. Oh porra para isto!..." Não é preciso avançar mais do que uma cena para se perceber que se está perante algo único. "Wall.E" começa com uma panorâmica sobre uma terra abandonada e poeirenta. Uma representação crua acompanhada por uma banda sonora intensa e inquietante. Por alguma razão o pessoal da Pixar (aqui representado pelo realizador Andrew Stanton e o director de fotografia dos Coen , Roger Deakins ) quis começar de uma forma seca e reflexiva, sem a música «engraçadita» e o gag cómico previsível. Somos imediatamente transportados para uma realidade pós-apocalíptica, que é provavelmente o cenário mais improvável para um filme animado que se acredita vir a ter grandes momentos de comédia. Inesperado? No mínimo. Mas isto só vem mostrar que a Pixar não está para brincadeiras. O consagrado estúdio, mesmo depois de ter conquistado tudo o que havia para conquistar nos domínios da animação (ou quase tudo), continua a arriscar através de novas e irreverentes fórmulas. "Wall.E " é umas das experiências mais completas (e complexas) que alguma vez foram tentadas no cinema de animação, com referências que vão desde o reinado de Charles Chaplin no cinema mudo a filmes como "E.T." ou "2001" . A comédia romântica cruza-se com a ficção científica existencialista sem nunca cair no exagero. Texto publicado na íntergra aqui . ... Source: elpoderdelaplatea.blogspot.com --- 78 days ago

" This story told in a different style and with a realistic look could have been a great science-fiction film. For that matter, maybe it is. " -- Roger Ebert If I may be so arrogant, I'd like to amend that thought: this story starts out telling the great science-fiction film Ebert described, but then discards it in order to tell something much more conventional instead. Don't get the wrong idea, it's not a horrible movie at all. It's pretty and it's fun. I liked it. But I wanted to love it. I wanted so badly to love it. Wall-E spends its first twenty minutes, maybe thirty, being the realistic-looking gorgeously and stylistically shot (they consulted Roger Deakins!) science fiction film about ideas. It could have done more with the arrival of the ship, for example. Elsewhere in the above-linked Ebert review, he really touches on where I wanted it to go: Wall-E is the last "living" thing on the planet, super-alone, and does he know what this ship is? What does it represent to his world, a thing like that coming out of the sky? Wall-E is a little robot who spends every day marveling and wondering at (and often reimagining) signifier vs. signified in an abandoned, ruined world. He stares wistfully up at the stars when they managed to break through the smog and dust that enshrouds the Earth. What's a rocket ship to this guy? Apparently, it's nothing special.

Del pobre Andrew nadie habla. Con Ridley Scott en la producción y Brad Pitt interpretando al más famoso forajido de la América del XIX, al director no le quedaba hueco para ponerse en la foto. Pero mejor para él. Así nadie recordará su colaboración en una de las películas más aburridas y lentas que he visto en mucho tiempo. Para mí no es impresionante. Para mí no es majestuosa. Para mí es un rollo que duerme. Nunca pensé que la historia de una banda de asaltantes y criminales pudiera llegar a hacerse tan pesada. Y mira que Jesse James da juego… En fin, que lo único que haré será felicitar a Roger Deakins , otro que se quedó fuera de la foto y sin embargo el único destacable. Como director de fotografía, tiene el mérito de que al menos la película sea bonita de ver. Ahorraos esos 160 minutos y empleadlos mejor que yo. ...

This is basically a continuation of my Revolutionary Road review and the comments left by panta924. I purposely left out technical considerations of the film. Being a screening, we will given the typical caveat that color correction and sound still needed to be completed; and indeed, the first few establishing shots of the film were so dark that it was difficult to discern what they were. I assume those will be fixed up in time for the general release. Addressing the mentioned areas: Cinematography: It's certainly serviceable, but nothing that truly stood out from the film. A large percentage of the film takes place indoors during the daytime, so there is a lot of typical indoor office and house lighting. The cinematographer is Roger Deakins, so I was hoping for a bit more. It's not disappointing by any means, just not amazing. Such: The music was bad. This is not one of Thomas Newman's better scores. It was either too dramatic for the scene, or didn't fit the mood the scene. Screenplay: This is the film's major flaw. The screenplay is the major reason I gave the film a C-. Revolutionary Road is not a bad film, it's a dull film. The decision to start the film with a major argument and continue after the opening credits with more marital strife never allows the audience to develop a relationship with the characters. You just don't really care what happens to them. The decision to movie to Paris is milked for a few laughs, but the decisi ... Source: newimprovedgorman.blogspot.com --- 73 days ago
Ed here: Excellent article on the Coen Brothers and their original cinematographer on the occasion of MOMA in NYC. The Coen Brothers Were Never Better Than with Barry Sonnenfeld The Gruesome Threesome showcased at the MOMA By S.T. VanAirsdale Tuesday, July 29th 2008 MOMA Thank you, Barry Sonnenfeld. Barry Sonnenfeld is known to tell the story of that day in Texas 25 years ago when he walked onto the set of Blood Simple—the Coen Brothers' debut and his first feature film as a cinematographer—and couldn't turn on the camera. Things seemed to work out OK over the next month and a half—and over the next seven years, in fact, when the trio's work on Blood Simple, Raising Arizona, and Miller's Crossing established each of them in careers that would fork dramatically in the decades to come. The triptych is the highlight of MOMA's latest installment of "Collaborations in the Collection," an ongoing series that highlights film partnerships. Screening nine films, the program spotlights the Coens' stock players (including John Turturro, Frances McDormand, and Steve Buscemi) and technicians. Few behind the camera, however, had an impact as deep as Sonnenfeld's, whose presence can be felt even in the Coen films he didn't shoot—from the wildly formalist Southwestern sketches undergirding the Roger Deakins–shot No Country for Old Men to the accentuated archetypes recurring over all of the brothers' 13 films.

Building them up or tearing them down in 5 minutes...ish The two and a half hours runtime of The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford ( Jesse James from here on) felt more like an out-of-body experience than a cinematic one. Yet a cinematic experience in the purest sense it most certainly was. Roger Deakins is arguably the finest cinematographers working in Hollywood today with a CV to match any of the greats in film history. His work here though is ably matched by Brad Pitt and Cassey Affleck as the eponymous James and Ford respectively. I loved the drenched autumnal hues and dreamscapes that Pitt haunts with quiet menace. I loved Affleck as he explored the fine line between obsession, forbidden lust and jealously. And I loved director Andrew Dominik's exploration of celebrity, betrayal and American mythology. If you missed it at the cinema, rent the DVD now because I Jesse James might just be a modern classic overshadowed by the similar heavyweight releases of 2007, No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood .

So, the Coens did it: No Country wins Best Film, Director, Supporting Actor and Adapted Screenplay. The other big winners on the night: La Vie En Rose (Best Actress for Marion Cotillard and Make-up) and The Bourne Ultimatum (three technical wins). Roger Deakins failed to win Best Cinematography despite two nominations; the award went to There Will Be Blood. The other surprises of the night: Tilda Swinton winning Best Supporting Actress; and Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova winning Best Song for Falling Slowly from Once. In the end, Atonement could only secure Best Score. And what of sound-mixer Kevin O'Connell ? I'm afraid it was 20th time unlucky as the award went to the team on Bourne.

Blizzard announces Diablo3 (never played Diablo1 or 2). Pixar has just released Wall-E . This sounds like a Pixar movie I might actually want to see . Very little dialog, Roger Deakins as a virtual cinematography consultant , apparently wonderful sound design, and robots (I have not seen it yet). One important difference: Pixar produces few sequels whereas Blizzard seems permanently stuck in rehashing their past efforts. Why? They have enough damn money to strike out for something new, so why don't they?. After playing and reading about GTA:IV and Rockstar ( WSJ article here ) that seems rather conservative. Now would be the perfect time for Blizzard to do something completely novel. Is this because they're tethered by a MMORPG that requires constant maintenance unlike the other two companies who basically produce one-off products? Are MMORPGS a creative drain even if they can be cash cows? BTW, as far as I know Pixar has never produced a dud (9 features and counting?) and I don't recall Blizzard producing any subpar games either (maybe something before Warcraft II)? Somewhat related is this fan made movie, UnstuntedII that uses exported WoW character models to produce animation you will not see in game . Interesting twist on the typical machinima workflow. Unstunted - Vol II from James Dunlop on Vimeo . Also vaguely related is this new WoW tool that allows far greater control of in-game camera controls . This could be a very interesting ...

The trailer for John Patrick Shanley's film adaptation of the Broadway play Doubt goes up on Apple Friday. The play is a dynamic, provocative piece. Judging from my exclusive preview of the trailer, in the movie, three strong actors form a triangle in a titanic power struggle. Representing the force of the old ways is Meryl Streep as the older nun who sees a popular, younger, hipper, kinder form of Catholic authority--priest Philip Seymour Hoffman--threatening her power. Her accolyte is sweet, trusting younger nun Amy Adams. Streep and Hoffman each try to persuade Adams to take their side. Viola Davis, another explosive actor, plays the mother of the little boy at the center of the drama unfolding at Madison St. Nicholas School. These actors are laying it down: yelling, cajoling, screaming, fighting for their lives. Miramax is releasing this meaty picture December 12. It's a slam dunk for Oscar consideration with performances like these. I'll have to see the movie to know for sure how far it will go. The question mark is director Shanley, who won an Oscar for writing Moonstruck, but didn't fare so well on his first directing gig, 1990's Joe Versus The Volcano. We can assume that Shanley is more in control of his own material here. Doubt is in the Zone, with the talent on board: producer Scott Rudin (No Country for Old Men) helped Shanley assemble an Oscar-friendly support team: cinematographer Roger Deakins (Old Men and The Assassinati ...
“This slight-looking but weighty film has ambitions that are intense pleasures and failures that are almost majestic. Beautifully cast and acted, smartly written, done with excruciating care and glowing Roger Deakins cinematography, it’s a film that, in some ways, suffers from its own seriousness, the very passion and guts that make it special.” ~ Michael Wilmington “ Ed Solomon , who wrote and directed, has stolen two hours from the lives of everyone who sees the film, and weeks from the careers of these valuable actors… When this film premiered to thunderous silence at Sundance 2003, Solomon said he had been working on the screenplay for 20 years. Not long enough.” ~ Roger Ebert ...
Nice animation, nice story, and nice characters (esp. Wall-E) Naman, bakit walang pumapansin dito? Instead of telling you what this film's story is, I rather post here what critics say about Pixar's 9th film: QUOTE Reception WALL-E received near-universal acclaim from film critics. Rotten Tomatoes reported that 97% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based upon a sample of 200 reviews, with an average rating of 8.6/10. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the film has received an average score of 93, based on 39 reviews. Todd McCarthy of Variety called the film "Pixar's ninth consecutive wonder", saying it was imaginative yet straightforward. Citing WALL-E's "adroit" borrowing from other works, McCarthy said it pushed the boundaries of animation in managing to balance esoteric ideas with more immediately accessible ones, and that the main difference between the film and other science fiction projects rooted in an apocalypse was its optimism. McCarthy also had praise for Thomas Newman's musical score and the visuals, for which he cited cinematographer Roger Deakins' input as a visual consultant as a possible factor. Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter declared that WALL-E surpassed the achievements of Pixar's previous eight features, saying that the film had the "heart, soul, spirit and romance" of the best silent films. He said that the filmmakers managed to tell a ...
