The Carnival of Cinema: Episode 61 - The Blogs Must Be Crazy
Welcome once again to the Carnival of Cinema, your weekly display of the web’s best cinema related posts. Want to read great movie reviews, insightful industry advice and interesting film news? You’ve hit the mother lode.
Starting us off this week is Jeet who has a post about multiplexes in Bangalore on his site BANGALOREBEATS.
Next up, Wenchypoo talks about the fact that some goofball women celebs are wearing red dresses to “bring awareness” to women’s heart disease. That works, hmmm Heidi Klum is in a red dress, I better tell my mother to take her Coenzyme Q10." Click over to WISDOM FROM WENCHYPOO'S MENTAL WASTEBASKET for more.
The issue of women’s heart disease? I had a heart attack almost five months ago, I guess since I’m a guy I can just jump off a cliff.
Speaking of throwing oneself off a cliff to their horrible doom, Hannah Montana has given plenty of people just that idea.
Jim Dorey says "Hannah Montana's 3D Movie is setting box office records! Find out more about this teen sensation that is sweeping the nation!” Need to know more? MARKETSAW - 3D MOVIES AND TECHNOLOGY is your place to go.
Hannah Montana’s 3D Movie…
…and on he subject of horror movies, what do you think about those times horror films try to make the mundane creepy? MISCGARBAGE.COM’s Blue Sunshine has a post detailing the absurdity of horror flicks trying to exploit everyday activities as being spooky and failing miserably at it.
Sticking with the horror movie thing, a subgenre of horror, the monster movie has made some news as of late with the release of Cloverfield. This week Justin talks about the film on his site DEARCINEMA: A MOVIEBUFF’S PARADISE. He says “Cloverfield is akin to The Blair Witch Project but with a traditional structure and higher production values. In this sense it loses its realism as a poorly edited home movie, but gains much in realm of entertainment that Blair Witch lacked.” Head over to his post to see if you agree.
Haven’t seen Blair Witch Project? Well, Chris Coleman has and Chris has the review ready to go. Click over to APPRECIATING GREAT TRASH (one of the best names for a film review site of all time) to see if you should see it.
Another horror film is All the Boys Love Mandy Lane. See if Matt Adcock loves her too. He has a review of the Amber Heard slasher flick on his site DARK MATTERS: FROM THE MIND OF MATT.
Want something else scary?
How about a bunch of old hippies?
Now, that’s downright creepy – the groaning, the creaking bones, the unwashed stink…
AVANT NEWS claims “Jack Nicholson, Dennis Hopper to Make Easy Rider Two: Cantankerous Old Hippies." Head on over to read more.
Another remake, and one that makes a little more sense, is 3:10 to Yuma. If you haven’t seen this Russell Crowe/Christian Bale film yet, maybe you should go find out if its any good. Paul McElligott has reviewed the film and has his words available to you over at his site CELLULOID HEROES.
From a remake to a movie that should have never of been made.
Adam Sandler’s movie Click is the subject d’jour over at WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. See if Miss Positive lives up to her moniker when she reviews the flick.
Newman of NEWMANS' OWN MOVIE CORNER keeps the reviews comin' with his own review of the Jessica Alba movie The Eye.
Watch the trailer below:
Now watch this scene from the original Japanese version
Gin gwai:
They both look stupid.
Next up we turn to WESTMINSTER WISDOM. This week Gracchi tells everyone about Ne le dis à personne (Tell No One) Sticking with his recent trend of reviewing films released within our lifetimes, he gives his informed opinion on this recent French release.
Like to see behind-the-scenes stuff? You’ll love this. Blue Skeleton has behind-the-scenes footage taken from the film Taken. Run over to his site PRODUCTION BLOG to view this interesting footage.
And bringing things to a close this week, we have MANNY THE MOVIE GUY. Manny interviews Colin Farrell, and Martin McDonagh, the writer/director of Farrell's new film In Bruges. They talk about their involvement with the film, and their movie's connection with the Harry Potter franchise. Also, Manny the Movie Guy reviews the film.
...and CUT and PRINT!
