The Carnival of Cinema: Episode 70 – Sweeney Blog
Welcome to the Carnival of Cinema, a weekly display of the web’s best cinema related posts. Movie reviews, film commentary and industry advice is all yours every week.
The Carnival has been on tour as of late. Last week the Carnival was hosted by Clay Mabbitt's SINGLE SENTENCE MOVIE REVIEW. Thanks to Clay for handing the Carnival – great job.
Let’s get this thing started. Over at BANGALOREBEATS, Jeet talks about Race. According to Jeet, “Race is a Bollywood movie featuring some of the top notch actors from the hindi flim industry. It is a fast paced suspense thriller. The story is about the two NRI brothers who race for everything.” Head on over to read more.
Like movie reviews, we have plenty of movie reviews.
For example, Christina M. Rau has a review of Kevin Spacey’s latest flick 21 over at her site LIVIN' THE DREAM (ONE LOSER AT A TIME). To view the trailer to this recent release, click on the image below of the actors pretending to be actual smart, useful people.
Next, we have Lars and the Real Girl, a movie which came out on DVD on April 15th about a recluse (played by Ryan Gosling) who believes that a sex doll is his real life girlfriend. Want to find out why this odd premise has been so well received? Click over to POPCORN, SODA, AND GOOBERS and let Dan explain.
Away From Her, directed by Sarah Polley (Dawn of the Dead, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen), is about a man who struggles when his wife, who is suffering from Alzheimer's disease and forgets who he is, falls in love with another man in a hospice. Happy-happy-joy-joy. Gracchi reviews the feel good hit of the summer over at his site WESTMINSTER WISDOM.
Since we’re talking about thoughtful, depressing movies with meaning, let’s keep things going.
If you loved Away From Her, go check out Superhero Movie. Head over to THE CRITICAL CRITICS and read what Vaprak has to say about this latest plop in the cinematic porta-potty that is spoof films.
Looking to Manny the Movie Guy’s site MANNY THE MOVIE GUY, Manny interviews the cast and crew of Forgetting Sarah Marshall. He reviews the film as well.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood is out on DVD and people have opinions.
First, Nigel Beale of NIGEL BEALE NOTA BENE BOOKS provides what I consider to be a spot on review of the film.
Second, Tamika M. Murray of PJSANDAMOVIE gives an alternative view of the movie.
There Will Be Blood…yeah…uh…speaking of blood…
Over at MENSTRUAL POETRY – ewwww, Ginny, your prose is spotting – Holly Ord has a trailer for No Trespassing, a film about dealing with child abuse.
And on the subject of kids, let’s move things forward with Tamika M. Murray who pops up again, this time she’s reviewing the Scarlet Johansson’s Nanny Diaries. Click below to view the trailer.
Like watching movies about those who watch the kids? Adventures in Babysitting gets the once over at Sarah’s site SARAHSPY. Go see the life lessons learned by watching this Elisabeth Shue vehicle.
Check out MES CRAZY EXPERIENCES, there you can read Linda’s post about a Korean romance movie made after books written by Guiyeoni.
According to Steve Anderson, Intent is a big deal. Don’t know why? Go find out over at KWANZOO.
Bringing the opinions to a close this week, A Decker talks about the impressions some movies have left on him. He has it on his site, RESONANT ENIGMA.
Bringing the carnival to a close this week, Conan Stevens talks about how stars are born behind the scenes. He talks about how Scott Levy, WWF's Raven, got the starring in the upcoming Australian horror movie. Conan gives a good glimpse at how casting and the business in general really works. Head over to his site ACTION MOVIE ACTOR - CONAN STEVENS for another insightful post.
Thanks to everyone for their submissions and welcome to all of the new faces this week.

Thanks for including my post!
Thank you, Scott, for including my piece. It's kind of a stretch to call it a movie review, so I appreciate it greatly. I linked back to you in my latest post.
