Carnival of Cinema: Episode 60 – No Country for Old Blogs
Welcome back to the Carnival of Cinema. Every week we bring you the best in film-related posts from around the World Wide Web. If you’re the kind of person who loves movie reviews, industry advice or just the latest in film news, this is the spot you have to be every weekend.
One this we constantly get here in the carnival is lists. People love making them and others love reading them. This week we have three such posts and they will kick things off.
Blue Skeleton of THE PRODUCTION BLOG has a comprehensive list of all the film production links featured on his site. They are switching the focus of their blog over to purely film making and will now strictly work towards being a resource for the indie film industry.
I say, good for you Blue – more power to you. All indies need any help they can get.
And on the subject of indies, we have more on Sundance this week.
Daniel Lafleche’s FILM AND VIDEO MARKETPLACE BLOG has a list of five things to chew on as American movies face what is likely a pivotal year. Perhaps something you want to check out for all of you indie directors and producers.
And on the subject of Sundance – let’s take a look at the future of film.
Matt O’Connor drops in this week with the third part of his list of the films that are set to hit this year. Check out his list over at his site CULT MOVIE NEWS.
Since we’re on this independent streak, let’s turn things over to our pal Gautam Valluri who has an interview with independent filmmaker Scott Cummings. To read the interview head over to Gautam’s site BROKEN PROJECTOR. To see some of Scott Cumming’s work, check out the teaser trailer for his short film Storm Tiger Mountain below.
From behind the camera to right in front of it. Let’s look at things from an actor’s perspective.
Conan Stevens is great for giving us a glimpse at a working actor’s life. This time out he talks about auditioning and keeping the career going during rough times in his post “TVC Audition and Print Ad Audition”. The writer’s strike hurts everywhere. Read what he has to say over at his site ACTION HERO IN ASIA.
If there will be a Carnival then there will be reviews and if there will be reviews then there will be blood.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s critically acclaimed return to the screen There Will Be Blood gets reviewed by Thomas Sweeney over at THINK SOUL MATTER.
Now that there’s been blood let’s get goin’ with the Coens.
MANNY THE MOVIE GUY sat down with the cast of The Coen Brothers’ No Country For Old Men to talk about the movie. See his reviews with Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Kelly Macdonald, and Oscar nominee, Javier Bardem HERE. Also, take a look at his review of the movie HERE.
Want more Old Men? Who doesn’t? If you do, click on this link, it’s going to take you over to JOYOUS FILM REVIEW where Joe Ewens has a joyous film review of th the flick.
Moving on…
Click over to WESTMINSTER WISDOM to see if the movie In the Valley of Elah is more like the Valley of Ewww Blah. Grachhi has seen the film and has the final word.
When is he going to review Dumb & Dumber?
Or how about reviewing something just plain dumb like Paul does?
Paul McElligott has got The Simpson’s Movie on his blog CELLULOID DREAMS for us this week. What does he have to say about everyone’s favorite yellow, three fingered family? Find out for yourself and click on the link already. Then, once you’re done there click on this link taking you to his podcast “21st Century Fox”.
Not having a transition to speak of, I’ll just push forward onto Andy Gates’ review of Stardust. He has a look at the film over at his site THE CONSUMER’S CORNER.
Still stranded without a proper link between post offerings, I will simply provide you with this easy to follow link to a review of Woody “No, really it’s okay, I’ll babysit the kid” Allen’s Cassandra’s Dreams. Find out if the creepy old guy is still making good movies by reading the review at NEWMAN'S OWN MOVIE CORNER.
Sick of all of these recent movies? Sick of these Oscar nominees and future winners? Sick of movies you’ve heard of?
Well, let’s throw it back to 1994 to Norman Jewison’s romantic comedy Only You. Tamika M. Murray has a defense of the movie over at PJSANDAMOVIE.
To brings things to a close we’re going to get all global and stuff.
World Cinema seems to be in the air this season, while five Indian cities are having a rendezvous with French Cinema, the pioneers of this segment in India, Palador Pictures have releases a DVD set of legendary French director François Truffaut. Visit Moveye’s DEARCINEMA: MOVIEBUFF'S PARADISE for more.
