Church Anniversary Purpose

Outlander - L'ultimo vichingo




Malgrado il caldo che obnubila i sensi, non può sfuggire neanche all’attenzione dei meno smaliziati fra quelli che, aperto il giornale, scorrono con l'indice l’elenco dei film quanto quell’aggiunta italiana, “ L’ultimo vichingo ”, all’originale Outlander possa prestare il fianco allo scetticismo: nella stagione in cui è più facile smerciare le giacenze di magazzino, l’assonanza con il megasuccesso, datato 1986, Highlander: L’ultimo immortale potrebbe in fact the prelude to the bin with fluency, among other things hidden (or shown?) from a poster at the impact of discrete Conan the Barbarian. Surprisingly, however, the onset on the white sheet of Howard McCain, former director of award-winning short films and long for television, does not endorse the worst even under a screenplay that manages to effectively bypass the shallows of an inspiration from too liable in respect of the two protagonists in stories with real monsters (in all senses) of the sacred science fiction films: Alien and Predator.
Planet Earth, the year 709 AD: Kainan (James Caviezel as decisive) is an alien whose spaceship going to sink in Norwegian waters. His companion Travel perish in the accident and there is no trace of Moorwen, a creature that feeds on destruction and that smuggling on board, caused the malfunction of the controls.
Captured by a tribe of Vikings under the command of King Rothgar, Kainan, whose human features do not betray their origin, must demonstrate, with many suffering, not a threat to the life of the community and, once agreed to ' inside it, organize the trap to put an end to the massacres perpetrated by Moorwen.
McCain's complicity with the spectator turn facilitating a dramatic progression ambitions unfettered by copyright and that makes a script stand out even more, although apparently not first-hand, as already mentioned, manages to save a few 'had' - see the real identity of Kainan, which is never revealed to his new companions in life as well as the beautiful and very talented in the use of weapons Freya, daughter of Rothgar, with whom he falls in love, reciprocated - and strike up a system of instant learning of human culture of the period for use and consumption of the host from another planet would be hard to imagine more painful.

Director: Howard McCain. Cast: James Caviezel, Sophia Myles, Ron Perlman, John Hurt.
Original title: Outlander. Genre: Science Fiction. Length: 115 min. Production: USA 2008.

Spring Break Wild Party

Planet Terror



Lungi dall’apparire un puro e semplice sfoggio di abilità nel muovere il mouse, il più massiccio piegare ad arte le mirabilie del digitale in modalità Old movie consente a Planet Terror , atto secondo del progetto Grindhouse , introdotto qualche mese prima da Quentin Tarantino con A prova di morte , di meglio risuscitare sugli smaliziati schermi di oggidì un modello di cinema, il Grindhouse, appunto, caratterizzato da trame assai poco edulcorate che fra gli anni 60 e 70, in America, trastullava il pubblico di solito con due film proiettati in sequenza (negli States e in Inghilterra si è potuto apprezzare il cimento Tarantino and Rodriguez in this way) and often plagued by burns, missing pieces and various other damages in any order arising from a chronic shortage of copies, and then the intensive exploitation. The fireworks
Robert Rodriguez knows he can not rely on a script that makes its originality trump card (again an act of protest against the uncontrollability of weapons - chemical, in this case - which should 'protect' and which instead reveal the blanks without preference for any of the Lady with a scythe, another zombie movie), and escapes with the skills to do with a temptation to worry.
No, this is the filmmaker Texas una pellicola che abbiamo già visto tante altre volte e magari ci è anche piaciuta di più, ma che non possiamo costringerci a non rivedere: le traiettorie della macchina da presa sulle imprescindibili coordinate di Romero, con generose porzioni di prelibatezze carpenteriane e una nube verde che tramuta in famelici mostri che pare arrivare dritta dal cult I Diafanoidi vengono da Marte del nostro Antonio Margheriti fanno di Planet Terror una trasferta nei territori della paura di allarmante (per i nervi e lo stomaco del pubblico) efficacia.
Rose McGowan regala a Cherry Darling un’avvenenza che lacrime avverse a tentazioni di compatimento non fanno che esaltare e una stella nel firmamento delle donne in action between the Ripley of Alien and Alice of Resident Evil . The sequence that saw his former articulation with a machine gun instead of the right leg to a zombie by the clumsy manner had decided to eat for dinner, not out of place in a list of the ten most bizarre love scenes ever.
At the time of Terminator 2 - Judgement Day you wrote that it was a violent anti-war film. With the appropriate distinctions, the same could be made for speech Planet Terror, which, in fact, it causes no disturbance in the sincere scrupulous following of murder victims in the story as he sees, in a hospital, a tumbler on display impairments afflicting soldiers involved in the Iraq campaign.

Il Cavaliere Oscuro



"... in my belly the creature writhes and growls and tells me what I need .... "
These are the thoughts that accompany the streets of Gotham City now defeated by criminals with a Bruce Wayne in his sixties, under siege by the infirmities of age and ten years congedatosi deliberately masked by his alter ego, in that desperate wonder / dark comic literature is The Return of Cavaliere Oscuro di Frank Miller (1986).
La bestia, Batman, il pipistrello fattosi castigo, doveva avere sicuramente vita più facile nell’età gagliarda del miliardario e filantropo Bruce Wayne, quando la vendetta era lungi dall’allentare la sua ossessiva morsa nei confronti di un uomo che una rapina sfuggita al controllo aveva privato, a otto anni, dei genitori all’uscita da un cinema.
Capitolo numero 6 delle avventure del vigilante mascherato creato da Bob Kane e Bill Finger e apparso per la prima volta nel maggio del 1939 sulle tavole del numero 27 di Detective Comics, Il Cavaliere Oscuro onora in pieno il titolo presentandoci un uomo pipistrello mai così accanito contro l’illegalità Bruce Wayne and increasingly on the verge of a crisis of conscience. A Gotham City
the mafia has spread its tentacles a bit 'all over the world, including law enforcement, and the rivers of dollars result of his vile trade saturate the vault of the designated banks.
Batman Beyond, however, criticized the media for its repressive methods against very little about the 'dignity' and 'rights' of the criminal, the only bulwark in defense of the public is the new District Attorney Harvey Dent, who , incorruptible and honest and deeply telegenic smile, leads, according to Lt. James Gordon, a blitz that led to the seizure of all the money the Mafia. But then realize that money is fake (there are also notes in bundles marked by Batman for the operation) and that the cash is protected abroad by the authoritative accounting of the Octopus.
usual, in short, between the skyscrapers of Gotham. Solo, criminals who flaunt the double-breasted and have only words of love for my checkbook are definitely 'vulgar' eyes rimmed black man who believes the time has come for the city to boast a truly criminal 'class ': the Joker.
look inspired by lucid madness, green hair, face pitted with white, yellowish teeth, dress and manners of the theater of the consummate actor and lips stained red stretched into a perpetual grin from scarred legacy of ancient torture, the Joker, inspired in its origin to the comic character played by Conrad Veidt in the 1928 film The Man Who Laughs , after baseness baseness can take on Gotham 'edge of the material and moral disaster.
Yes, because in his becoming champion of the cause against Batman Mafia and the law, in fact the evil clown mocks everything and everyone burning his fee (half the money of the Octopus) with the top of the pile, the accountant of the Mafia gagged and tied to a chair, thus proving to act alone and only in the name of anarchy and more detached from, but because - "Some men do not look for things logical, like money. Can not be bought, controlled or contracted. Some men just want to see the world burn. " - and assuming, offering a symbolic representation of man as an animal accustomed to sacrifice on the altar of wealth, the stature of obscene demigod.
Psycho without identity cards, Joker is historically an opponent of Prince raddrizzatorti in form. And the two are closer than they may think. Better, because the executioner can not be considered.
"You complete me," says the evil clown Batman, truth can not be stated more true, since che un sempre più crepato divisorio etico impedisce allo squilibrio mentale dell’uomo pipistrello di fare carne da macello dei suoi nemici.
Il Joker certe finezze comportamentali non le conosce neanche per sentito dire e, in questo Cavaliere Oscuro , non deve neanche affannarsi più di tanto per dimostrare agli onesti cittadini di Gotham quanto la loro probità sia solo un’astrazione da libro dei boy scout: scatena, infatti, una tribale caccia all’uomo quando chiede la vita di un impiegato delle Industrie Wayne, reo di aver dichiarato in televisione di aver scoperto l’identità di Batman, minacciando di far saltare l’ospedale di Gotham in caso di mancata risposta.
Non pago, riesce persino a far evacuare la città sotto la minaccia di attentati esplosivi, e, una volta al largo su due navi distinte la gente perbene e i detenuti, annuncia di aver collocato sulle imbarcazioni due bombe il cui timer può essere stoppato liberamente… salvo causare la distruzione della nave che non lo ha disattivato per prima. E tutto questo solo perché desidera che Batman si umili togliendosi la maschera e facendosi finalmente da parte.
Figurarsi, a questo punto, come deve sentirsi un crociato della giustizia quando coloro che ha giurato di proteggere lo guardano in cagnesco, quando non lo combattono apertamente. E la parte finale del film, in quest’ottica, è fra le più lugubri e malinconiche che un falso blockbuster come questo possa boast.
total chaos, then, in Gotham, post September 11 atmosphere and a masterpiece of ugliness when the Joker, so that's half his face is disfigured by fire, can lead to the dark side of the upright even Harvey Dent, giving rise to dangerous criminal that the world will know as Two-Face.
There's no denying, after Batman Begins, Christopher Nolan is confirmed (to distinguish the facts) only successor to Tim Burton at the helm of the adventures of man bat: an author can make the contours and vibrant screen the inconsistencies of human action, along with incisive and bitter reflections on the Well. Who had the rudeness of not warn when he departed from this vale of tears.

Sfida senza regole



the New York Police Department, the feeling is that in fatal storm approaching: with a string of murder victims dumped near (or) bodies of a gun, the same for all, and laid on a piece of paper with a poem with rhyming reasons of death are certainly as far removed from good advertising in terms of public safety. Not to mention
of respectability, as the track followed by the investigators appears to point towards the body itself. A cop killer executioner, in short, that you would load a stock of weapons stolen and imaginative compositions, to disinfect the streets from the dregs of the big holes in the fabric of the law have allowed it to continue to commit crimes and walk undisturbed.
Investigations are assigned to detectives Turk and Rooster, thirty years of nails under the slime which has assumed the coloration of the flesh and who see the orologetto take the pension with a smile wider than ever and unsympathetic measures of their wrist.
The two are the best at what they do, but young players do not warm the bench for sure: the detectives Perez and Riley the craving spotlight and must be the first to conjecture the possible involvement of a colleague in crime.
These, in brief, as befits a yellow frame, the events around which Righteous, honest cop who becomes the event of the year for crazy shot scored by director Jon Avnet (Fried Green Tomatoes - at the Whistle Stop , Red Corner , 88 Minutes), ie the involvement in the guise of Turk and Rooster, of, respectively, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, two living legends in the first acting experience together for most of the duration of a movie. In the past, the news report, only twice Lennon and McCartney (As they are dubbed in the film in question) had trod the same set: Francis Ford Coppola wanted them in 1974 it The Godfather - Part II without them ever meet Michael Mann and directed them in the 1995 action-masterpiece Heath - The challenge , where just a couple of scenes on more than two hours and recorded in the middle of viewing them face to face with potentially explosive atmospheres.
The screenplay by Russell Gewirtz engineered part of the atmosphere with the alternation in the opening credits of detail, and with close-ups of the two protagonists engaged in a complicated exercise to the polygon that results in perfect summation of their time on color film of dust gun, before beginning a tormented excavation ambiguity in how to perform a job that's neat and pinto cinema has often only the oath, which does not provide the opportunity in his formulation of a gag for the accuracy dictated by the fabrication of false evidence, the only pick to refute testimony tainted by a fear that becomes invisible only to the cold pages of a code.
squassanti ethical issues are also offered by Gewirtz, who has not, however, had the foresight to take advantage of all the ink used to pen the script for debut, Inside Man to: pay a few steps nebulosity mistaken for stimulating said unsaid and the curly-erotic sadomasochistic between a De Niro to (appreciably, as Pacino also) does not hide his age, and a bewitching and determined member of the CSI team, Karen Corelli, do not escape the impression of filler. On the assets count
an exquisite game players (pull out the nails Carla Gugino, John Leguizamo and Donnie Wahlberg) that generates real characters in their instincts and passions, the authority of another grand old man of cinema as a tough and Brian Dennehy a vigorous self-mockery about the strength of the lock once. Jon Avnet
turn contracted with an exuberance to the minimum wage, which is a shame. It 's true that Al and Bob are directed only to the brazier and the stir of attention to duty until stabbing finale, a mente fredda unico momento realmente orchestrato sulla tensione, ma se la giustizia al di là della giustizia di Sfida senza regole fosse stata soppesata da un Martin Scorsese, sicuramente staremmo rubricando l’ennesimo, necessario, capolavoro.

Gran Torino



78 anni e non farseli pesare. Per quello che, a quanto riportano le cronache, potrebbe essere il passo d’addio al cinema come attore, Clint Eastwood sceglie un soggetto “come al solito” poco consigliabile a chi smania di affogare nel buio di una sala per accordare la libera uscita al cervello. Film da vedere con lo stato d‘animo sintonizzato sulla giusta frequenza, allora? Non proprio, dal momento che Gran Torino è, anche, opera parecchio divertente. Sì, proprio così: si ridacchia e non difetta la risata di gusto. E non potrebbe essere diversamente, dal momento che il magnifico Clint convoglia nello scostante e apertamente razzista (ma è difesa; solo e soltanto, alla fine, sgretolabile difesa) Walt Kowalski - uno che la guerra in Corea ha 'onorato' di una medaglia che da tempo, o forse dal primo giorno, ha come unica valenza quella di accompagnare le sue notti e i suoi giorni tenuto per mano da fantasmi che un tempo avevano volto e carne the 'enemy' - an exciting synthesis of the characters embodied in the space of fifty years of bright career, Dirty Harry in the head. It is known that Harry is not the bitch bites of certain language.
film, like much of eastwoodiana filmography, relentlessly aimed empyrean of the classics, Gran Torino shines a compelling final half-hour rhythm on the suggestions of an (im) possible recapture of another yesterday attended by mules likely that more you thought of them laughing and urging police delinquentelli by half a point to keep them happy, and culminating in a 'showdown' of poignant lyricism.

The Mist


Warning number one: The Mist is a film that beats, and strong. Refrain viewers last minute or who boasts that more than others if they make below the more he laughs.
Warning number two: cancel the booking at the restaurant or pizzeria, since the credits are still landed, landed on the chair and just waiting for the moment that the force will coordinate the movements to return home to meditate about how the human race can really be aberrant.
ONLY: The Mist is missed terribly.
its third translation to the big screen, after Wings freedom (1994) and The Green Mile (1999), a work of Stephen King, one of the greatest contemporary authors on the themes of horror and mystery, Frank Darabont steer the moorland of the more visceral fear, though without sacrificing the lyrical magic that made it great and unforgettable the two titles mentioned above.
A small town in Maine is Strapazzata very well from a storm that uprooted trees and remember to leave no damage to the second floor. So far so good, it can happen. That
but a bit 'more out of the ordinary is a large expanse of cloud that progresses from the lake and soon invades the streets, forcing, in particular, a large group of clients, even strangers, watching from behind glass panels in the local supermarket without being able to get out.
Sure, you could groped to reach their car, but if the thick white blanket at a man running from his nose reduced to a fountain gushing blood and screaming about something that took his friend, the delay is not unreasonable to regard . Then, when the gate at the back are unwelcome guests of the giant tentacles animated by the worst intentions, the terror promises to quicken the pace more and rationality. And a religious fanatic will prove the most deadly enemy. The truck
opening discovers a citation and a tribute to the state of the art, as well the trade of the main character, Dave Drayton, a designer of movie posters: one of the panels on the wall of the home office, depicting the figure of a man used to the movie poster thing, remember John Carpenter, who in 1980 terrorized the public with Fog, the story of a bunch of sailors that the mist back from the dead to take revenge on the descendants of the people of Antonio Bay, responsible for one hundred years before their departure, a canvas along the way instead treats the portrait of King Roland, the gunslinger's successful fantasy series The Dark Tower-western .
two kinds, those that stand bullies, together with the parallel worlds of science fiction in this horror film really disturbing how few, at least in these times of fear film dealt with injections of pixels and irony for an audience that will be safeguarded from bumps, maybe not lenited a rewarding final kiss, which could be harmful to your health ... the box office.
anxiety exchange of suggestions between the siege of One dollar of honor and that of Precinct 13 (Carpenter, again), the cocoons of Alien and The Cthulhu Cycle of Howard Phillips Lovecraft, The Mist welcomes the privilege of so and so many precedents confine to a mere outline of a story where the real punch in the stomach is launched from various umanità intrappolata nell’emporio, che vede la patina del vivere civile che fino a qualche ora prima ricopriva solida la vita di tutti i giorni, sfaldarsi e venire soverchiata da quell’egoismo e da quella crudeltà latenti comunque sottopelle e che si affrettano a marcire forte gli animi quando c’è in palio la sopravvivenza.

Quell’impronta di una mano fattasi sangue non per extraterrena volontà sulla porta di ingresso del market turberà a lungo i nostri giorni, e il prefinale, che ribalta oscenamente beffardo l’assunto portato all’Oscar da tal Roberto Benigni, non si abbandona a pietà alcuna.
