Marian Schedenig 8,238 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 You can always get the new DVD release of the 1959 movie that comes with the 1925 version and the Davis score, to watch the chariot race at home. Focussing on the timpanists was the right choice.Marian - wondering if he should write to the Konzerthaus and suggest this for one of their next "Film+Musik Live" seasons.

Morlock 11 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 The Sixth Sense. *** out of ****. I enjoyed the film as it was going on, I think it is a well told tale. The film, however, has no point to it, no resonance. It is a ghost story, plain and simple, with a moral to it that only applies if you are a child who belives in ghosts. I used to not like the twist, but now I realize that it is necassery, or else one would forget the film as soon as he left the theater. But still, the film is very interesting as it goes on. I don't see what's so great about JNH's score- it is definately and by far the worst of his Shyamalan scores. Vera Drake. Excellent, excellent, Mike Leigh film. The way he paints a portrait of these characters is spellbinding in the best way. It is just pure drama, no funny stuff. Not an ounce of melodrama to be found. Imalda Staunton gives a striking performance that for my money is far more impressive than Hillary Swank's turn last year. And, like in all Leigh's films, the supporting cast is just perfect. In particular, I loved her husband, who decides to stand by her even though he is hurt that she didn't tell him and that he doesn't agree with her actions, her brother in law, who idolizes her, and the detective, who gives the police an uncommonly human face- he won't bend the rules for anything, but you can see in his tone, in his expression, that he is full of sympathy for Vera. And it's nice to see a familiar face with Allan Corduner and Jim Broadbent, Leigh's Gilbert and Sullivan, who are very effective in their cameos. I haven't seen too many of Leigh's films, but this is definately my favorite after Secrets and Lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I saw "The One", The Constant Gardener. I thought it was very good, though rather less momentous than I had expected. It was an excellent conspiratorial thriller with meaningful, though provoking message, but I was expecting more. But, expectations aside, I really liked it. The different threads running through the plot were all very well done and very satisfying, and I think that's already an achievment, where you have a story about a guy chasing a conspiracy and the same guy making huge discoveries about her wife, and both are equally potent, and the fact that each thread is strong on it's own right lends weight to other thread. The acting is uniformely excellent. Fiennes and Weisz especialy, but I also thought the supporting actors were great. Danny Huston was lacking a bit of villainy, but I thought he was fine as a bit of a sap. Bill Nighy is great, I wuld'nt have thought of him for that kind of part. Donald Sumter and Gerard McSorley add great color, and Pete Postlethwaite is always great. I liked the look of the film, the feel of the film, and the music. ***1/2 out of ****.

Morlock 11 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Saw The Machinist, as promised. Now this is a rarity. I often see films that I like as they're going on but an dissapointed by dumb point to the movie, or by the fact that there is no point at all. This film was the opposite. I did not like it as it was going on. It was uncomfortable, and I very annoying in that it didn't give me any idea as to what it was about. But the last 20 minutes drew me in more and more, and I was left with a very fullfilling and life-affirming moral, when the rest of the movie was not very nurishing and very bleak. And that made all the difference in the world. I thought I would hate the film when it was over, I was thinking about stopping it. But now, having seen what it was all about, I whole-heartedly recommend it. This is a good and satisfying film experience (and I stress the experience part). I can't add anything new about Christian Bale- he, quite simply, is this movie. Others have said more eloquently why this is so, you can check any other review for that. This is just goes on short list of notable performances. I loved seeing Michael Ironside get a role that is not a villain in the 90's. I don't get what the big friggin' deal is with the score. It's ok. It has some particulaly good parts and some particulaly inapropriate parts. It's Herrmannesque- but that don't make it a good score. It's effective, and a total bore on CD. Most overrated soundtrack in a long time, maybe since Cutthroat Island. And me and my friends followed the film by watching three Simpsons episodes from the magical 5th season, one of the finest seasons of television ever produced (We saw 'Homer's Barbershop Quartet', 'Cape Feare' and 'Homer goes to College') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I completely disagree with both comments. So do I. I saw both stop motion animation films from the past few month: The Corpse Bride- I feel like I have to see this again, as soon as possible. I had a wonderful time watching it. A beautiful film, with a wonderful, sweet story. I loved the voice work in the film, I loved Victoria, her small, pouty lips really film Emily Watson's voice perfectly. Richard E. Grant was wonderfully smarmy here. Everything about his character- name, voice, look, dialogue- all have a distinctly Dickensian feel about them, and I loved that. I love the songs. 'According to Plan' is my favorite, mainly because of the voice work. I love Albert Finney's singing here. 'Remains of The Day' is much better in context of the film, that sequence is fantastic. I think all except for 'Tears to Shed' are going to get as much play as the Nightmare songs. The look of the film is really stunning, the character design as well as the whole production design. Alex McDowell deserves a double nod for his work on Burton's films this year. I think the score is Elfman's strongest in years. The main theme, Victor's theme, is a gem, and it's never boring, despite the constant use of it. The End Titles are fantastic, both the beautiful rendition of Victor's theme, and the insturmental version of 'Remains of The day'. And the use of the chorus at the end is inspired. This has really been an excellent year for Burton, and for Elfman, Two fresh, fantastic movies, both with scores to match. Both films capture the classic Burton feel, yet you feel his work has matured since Edward and Beetlejuice. Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Eh. This is the film I originaly thought it would be, judging by the trailer. Then I heard all the good reviews, great B.O., I thought, I must have missed something. Alas, not. This film was funny and whimsical, but not in any memorable way. I enjoyed myself, but the jokes were entirely predictable, and after a couple of chuckles, it's gone. I did like hearing Ralph Fiennes giving the most vocal performance of his life, and the score was fun. But It's like there was a layer of spam between us- nothing stuck with me. I usually love British humour, but I have yet to understand the cult status Wallace and Gromit have. They're funny, I liked watching the TV show, but nothing more.

Trumpeteer 302 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I did the same thing Morlock did. I saw both stop-animation films in one day.I thought the middle of "Corpse Bride" was a little slow and not going anywhere. The songs were fantastic. The first song was great because it had identical vocals from opposing sides of the story. I love when songwriters can do that so well. But the sound mix put more prominence on the music than the lyrics, so I couldn't understand most of the "Corpse Bride" and "We're Going to Have a Wedding" songs."Wallace and Gromit" was great. Lots of fun, though I suspect adults will like it more than kids because the best moments for me were a little more grown-up. Like using round vegetables to refer to breasts. And the mean dog having a pretty coin purse -- brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!I also watched a 1940s film called "Black Narcissus." Boring. Though it did look pretty, as it was filmed in gorgeous Technicolor."Sin City" was probably one of the best pulp/noir films since the 1970s, but I got distracted by the cinematography. Did anyone else notice how they failed to get all the green out? You could see it on people's faces, and it didn't make any sense. I know when you make a color film into black and white that it's hard to take all the green out. I interviewed Roger Deakins and he said that was the hardest thing about de-colorizing "The Man Who Wasn't There." (Side note: He and the Coens wanted to shoot on B&W film but the studio wouldn't pay the extra money for the film stock.) But if Deakins could utilize great technology to get all the green out of his film, then why couldn't Robert Rodriguez do the same? Anyway, I was pleased with Mickey Rourke, though I never, ever like characters who smoke incessantly on film. But I didn't like all the gore in the film, though that's what graphic novels are known for. This film was probably one scene away from an NC-17. I bet if the film was in color, the MPAA would have given it an NC-17. But the B&W made it less gross to see arms and other body parts blown off or cut up.

Morlock 11 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Saw Pleasantville. This movie is kind of annoying. It is, without a doubt, one of the best and most unique looking films I've ever seen. It is a stunning, beautiful film. It's first half or so is absolutely perfect, a sublime, pitch-perfect, comedy/satire that never misses a beat. And in the second half, it turns into a very interesting parable on racism, as well as cencorship and the power an individual has (but more on that in a second). All that's the good stuff. Then the movie goes wrong. It seems to be confused about what it's trying to say, and certainly goes about it the wrong way. The movie seems to whole heartedly advocate change, yet, at the same time, show many negative aspects of it as well. In a way, I guess it's saying, if you want the highs, you gotta take the lows as well- but the movie seems to advocate adultery (especialy because of that confounding last scene). But that doesn't fit. The movie seems to resolve itself saying 'And I hope you remember the valuable lesson we taught you here', but it was not conclusive on most of the morals, save for embracing what's different. I think the movie over-reached, and because of it, missed a lot of stuff. I think the movie should have been destilled to a more specific point- it may have been more naive, but it also would have been more complete if it would be a fun comedy, which than revealed itself to be a commentary on racism. As I said, on any other points it may have had, it missed the mark. And I think a lot of it has to do with the characters it has to use- these characters are, at the end of the day, TV characters. Why should they go through change- why should we care about the change they go through? It like trying to take a Brady Bunch story and turn it into some deep political commentary. But still, the film's pluses outweigh it's faults. It's full of good vibes. After watching it, I was feeling very positive. Beyond any conceptual flaws it has, the film is flawless (I know that could probably be said of many films, but it is particulaly true here). The actors are all excellent- William H. Macy, J.T. Walsh (in his last performance) and Jeff Daniels in particular I loved. And I think Don Knotts was just a brilliant choice for the TV repairman. I cannot praise the film's look too much. It is just beautiful at every turn. The film's use of color is just breathtaking- that single red rose, or the flowers in the air as they're driving, or the first full color scene at the lake. The effects are so perfect, and so seemless. Not for a second do you see how the illusion was created. The dialogue in the film is very good, especialy in the satire stuff, where it never hits a wrong note (in general, the satire stuff is all perfect). Randy Newman's score is one of his strongest, from his comedic march for Pleasantville, to his triumphant motif for the use of color, to his absolutely stunning theme for the 'Real Rain'. All in all, the screenplay of this would probably get ***, but the technical triumph this film is, which happens to be directly tied into the film's concept, coupled with the good vibes it gives teh viewer, give it, in my book, ***1/2 out of ****.
