Carnival of Cinema: Episode 75 - Raiders of the Lost Blog
Welcome to the Carnival of Cinema. We're back this week with another collection of some great cinema-related posts. Each week you can count on the Carnival to give you a variety of movie reviews, film commentary and industry advice from writers from around the world.
Let's kick things off with the big cinematic deal this week, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Indiana Jones...great, another aged actor tacking on another sequel to his dusty franchise. This is exactly what the world needs, Indiana Jones getting winded when he gets up too fast, chasing the bad guys in his immaculately washed Lincoln, and hoping to resolve the main conflict of the plot so he can get back to the buffet for an early lunch.
Newman of NEWMAN'S OWN MOVIE CORNER has sat through Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and his response? Well, he says its "...an exciting and expertly crafted addition to the Indiana Jones series." Want to know more? Check out his site.
MANNY THE MOVIE GUY follows up with a review of Grandpa Ford's new flick. Additionally, he has some prizes from the film such as trading cards, action figures, books, courtesy of Paramount Pictures. If you head over to his you can see if you can win some of the marketing materials.
Let's turn to the big cinematic deal last week, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.
Newman is back with another review. For this one he says it is "...a worthy follow-up, if a bit less enchanting than its predecessor." Want to know more? Check out his site.
Next up, Nigel Beale takes on Prince Caspian. He manages to see it as a battle between Anglo Saxons versus Latinos. He also seems surprised that the film based on the book by British and Christian author C.S. Lewis, would include Christian imagery and British characters. Is Narnia the Falklands, go over to NIGEL BEALE NOTA BENE BOOKS and find out.
And on the subject of racist screeds, "Racism is only funny in...Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, not in the real world...or in the blogosphere." Go find out what A_x from ANONYMOUS X is talking about.
Let's turn to the big cinematic deal (well...kinda, it was a stink bomb) two weeks ago, Speed Racer.
Linda from MES CRAZY EXPÉRIENCES gives her opinion on the Wachowski Brother's disaster film. She follows this up with a look at Oechul (April Snow).
Let's turn to the big cinematic deal three weeks ago, Iron Man.
LIVIN' THE DREAM (ONE LOSER AT A TIME)'s Christina M. Rau is all about the Iron Man. She says:
Wanna to know what the heck that's all about - head on over to her site and read for yourself.
Let's turn to the big cinematic deal seven hundred and four weeks ago, Interview with a Vampire.
Tamkia M. Murray fires up her Freaky Friday feature with a post about the Brad Pitt/Tom "Not Gay" Cruise incredibly unmasculine (yes I know its not a word) vampire flick.
She also posts about Jurnee Smollett, an actress who should have won best actress when she was eleven. To read these posts, click over to Tamika's site PJ'S AND A MOVIE.
Let's turn to the big cinematic deal next week, Sex in the City: The Movie.
Naomi Steven's DIARY FROM ENGLAND posts about the film's world premiere.
Sex in the City, as Peter from Family Guy said "So it's a show about three whores and their mom."
What about Sex in Gotham City? D of ENTERTAINMENT BUFF takes on the touchy subject of Batman and his many cinematic loves.
Looking for updates on The Clique Movie? Head over to THE CLIQUE MOVIE UPDATES, there Donna C. has updates on The Clique Movie.
Lacking a proper transition, I'll just keep moving forward.
Gracchi over at WESTMINSTER WISDOM make their return to the Carnival this week with a pair of reviews. First he looks at and shows his love for Industrial Britain form 1931. He says "This just blew me away!" He also tackles The Station Agent, which he calls a "meandering meditation" - "meandering" is right. Obviously a strong non-endorsement.
Speaking of meandering, where the heck is the projectionist?
Don't understand what I'm talking about? Madeleine Begun Kane does. Why? She had to deal with a wandering projectionist during a screening of the film War, Inc. For a story of disorganization and inept presentation skills, go to her site MAD KATE'S POLITICAL MADNESS and she'll tell you all about it .
When she's done tell you all about it, head over to TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT where Silveral will tell you all about Disney and how it ain't the same as it used to be.
There's more that isn't what it used to be, namely a whole bunch of floundering careers from the outskirts of the entertainment industry. Harrison has a list of twenty-five D-List actors on CUSTOMIZED GIRL BLOG. Harrison then comes in with a list of twenty-five stupid but yet awesome vehicles.
Bringing things to a close this week is Carnival newcomer Nandita. She chats about the libel case between Princess Irina Youssoupoff and the makers of the film The Princess. Go to her site LAW MATTERS for more.
