The Carnival of Cinema: Episode 79 - I Blog on Your Grave
Salutations, and welcome to the Carnival of Cinema, a weekly round-up of the web's best cinema-related posts. Every week people submit their film posts to us and we bring you the best and the brightest.
If you're interested in submitting your movie review, piece of film commentary , post about film news or have industry advice, click on the crazy Melvin below to find the submission form.
And now, on with the show.
Getting things started is CancerKitty from DELSQUACHO who claims that "Asking for a refund after sitting through the entire movie is no different than asking for your money back after finishing a meal at a restaurant." Particularly if that restaurant is serving freshing rehashed crap.
For those who gorge themselves on said crap...and the vomit it up because, let's face it, you're a pathetic fatty (or at least that's what you tell yourself); check out EVERYONE NEEDS THERAPY this week. TherapyDoc uses the film Super Size Me to launch into an interesting post on eating disorders.
"Waiter, take this movie back to M. Night Shyamalan, its undercooked."
Over at MCF'S NEXUS OF IMPROBABILITY, MCF reviews a nexus of insufferably bad cinema - M. Night Shyamalan continues his life long crusade to prove The Sixth Sense was a fluke with the release of his latest atmospheric trip to nowhere The Happening.
Ironic naming something The Happening when nothing happens.
On the subject of nothing happening, Jumper's box office receipts were less than stellar. On OBSERVATIONS FROM MISSY'S WINDOW, Missy observes the lameness of the film.
Steve Anderson observes the lameness of Disney offering some of their films online. How could Disney releasing movies free online be lame? Click over to SOCIAL TRIVIA GAMES to find out.
On the animation front, Kung Fu Panda is doing well in theaters, but that doesn't mean its any good. To find out if it stinks and should have been named Kung Poo Panda head over to see Riley's review at ALL RILEYED UP.
Let's check out this week's reviews:
The first of the bunch is Joe's review of The Incredible Hulk at his site INTERMISSION AT WORK. See if the green guy gets his due or if all of this hype is just leading to another Hulk cinematic disaster.
Next up, Michael from ONLINE REVIEW BLOG takes a look at Iron Man.
If you're sick of superheros bounding around kicking the stuffing out of ominous villains, perhaps you'd be satisfied by watching another cinema/television conglomeration. Get Smart hits theaters, check with Jean Brunet of SIZZLING POPCORN to see if you should hit the theater seats or stay at home.
One of the other big deals in the marketing stream this week is last week's release d'jour Wanted. MANNY THE MOVIE GUY shows up with the goods once again. This time out, Manny has an interview with the film's actors James McAvoy, Common and Thomas Kretschmann. Manny also reviews one of this week's releases The Love Guru.
Since there's nothing good being released this week, its probably good to look to the past for some cinematic gems.
Over at CRITICAL CULTURE, PM posts about Michelangelo Antonioni's Cronaca di un Amore.
Some old cinema gems are really cubic zirconium.
Forbidden Planet may be old and it may be less than brilliant but it still gets the works over at CHAOSGONE.
If you're still looking for things off of the new release shelf and you're primed for a good horror movie, check out Vaprak's list of the top ten horror films from the last 10 years on his site THE CRITICAL CRITICS.
I agree with putting 5 and 8 on the list and number 1 is a good choice - not so sure about the rest.
When you're done watching your little horror movie and need to clear your mind of all of that violence maybe you need to cleanse your palette with something calmer, and kinder...
Martin Scorsese is just the ticket for those wanting to see something soothing and happy. Mark Oppenheimer has the goods on his site LIBERTY ADDICTION with a collection of ol' Marty's short films.
It ain't over til the menstruating woman sings.
Huh?
This week at MENSTRUAL POETRY, Holly Ord kicks around the Tammy Fae corporate vehicle Baby Mama.
