Reservoir Dogs es una película de 1992. Quentin Tarantino había escrito el guión de ‘Amo]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;margin:0;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x140/onironautaverde/ReservoirDogsphoto.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="399" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Reservoir Dogs es una película de 1992. Quentin Tarantino había escrito el guión de ‘Amor a quemarropa’ (True Romance, que se estrenaría en 1993) y, animado por el productor Lawrence Bender (quien ha producido todas sus películas), empezó a escribir el guión de Reservoir Dogs junto a Roger Avary.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><!--more--></span><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">La película se produjo como una película independiente de bajo presupuesto (1.200.00 dólares) y con un planteamiento sencillo.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.follow-me-now.de/assets/images/Reservoir_Dogs.jpg" alt="" width="866" height="695" /></span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">El argumento es bien sencillo: un grupo de atracadores (que no se conocen entre sí) toman los nombres de los colores como nombres en calve. Después de un atraco fallido llegan a la conclusión de que hay un policía entre ellos. Los personajes van dando su punto de vista de la historia según van llegando al punto de encuentro.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">En esta película se pueden ver como Tarantino, director y guionista, incorpora todas sus principales señas de identidad: delincuencia violenta, violencia muy grafica, referencias a la cultura popular americana, memorables diálogos, desorden en las escenas de la película y el vocabulario, usualmente, vulgar.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><img class="alignnone" src="http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/070117/reservoir_dogs_l.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">He de destacar a los actores, que siempre quedan bien en las películas de Tarantino, que hacen perfectas actuaciones con papales (aparentemente) poco profundos. En el reparto se encuentran: Harvey Keitel (Sr. Blanco), Tim Roth (Sr. naranja), Chris Penn (Eddie), Steve Buscemi (Sr. Rosa, que se quejo de su ‘nombre’ ante Tarantino; después Quentin lo añadió al guión), Michael Madsen (Sr. Rubio. La mejor actuación de la película), Lawrence Tierney (Joe Cabot), Quentin Tarantino (Sr. Marrón) y Edward Bunker (Sr. Azul).</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.wvip.co.uk/images/dvd/ReservoirDogs/ReservoirDogs_2.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="257" /></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">El guión se considera un objeto de culto, presentando a Tarantino como la promesa cinematográfica de los 90. Pasará a la historia del cine.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>Reservor Dogs (trailer original)</strong></span></span></p>

Katya: [angry] It&#8217;s been very nice wasting time with you, Peter Peders.
[she leaves restaura]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Katya:</strong> [<em class="fine">angry</em>] It's been very nice wasting time with you, Peter Peders.<br />
[<em class="fine">she leaves restaurant table</em>] <br />
<strong>Peters Peders:</strong> [<em class="fine">louder, so she could still hear him</em>] You, too, Cunt-ya.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://images.google.it/url?q=http://files.splinder.com/94eb69960226456635bc5262bbc89ce9.jpeg&#38;usg=AFQjCNGiw5jc2T0mN4BGOckEcQvTqqnowg" alt="" width="262" height="384" /></p>
<p>Quale incubo peggiore, per un giornalista affermato e politicamente impegnato, se non trovarsi costretto ad intervistare un'attricetta di insulse serie tv, nota più per l'altalenante dimensione del suo seno che per qualche effettivo talento, mentre a Washington impazza lo scandalo politico del secolo? E' quello che accade al malcapitato Steve Buscemi, calatosi nei panni del reporter Pierre Peders, per recitare, sceneggiare e dirigere il remake dell'omonima pellicola di Theo Van Gogh (omaggiato tra l'altro da un richiamo sulla fiancata di un camion e dalla dedica che apre i titoli di coda): un'apparente commedia alla soda caustica che si trasforma in un raffinato labirinto di bugie, segreti veri e supposti, un gioco d'astuzia, un inseguimento nel quale - sarà una delle battute finali dei due protagonisti - ci sarà un solo vincitore, e un solo sconfitto.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Arts/Arts_/Pictures/2007/11/02/interview460.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>L'attrice intervistata è Katya, starlette alla ribalta, con il bel visino e la lunga chioma bionda di Sienna Miller, ovviamente caratterizzata da tutti gli stereotipi del caso: ritardataria, apparentemente inconsistente e frivola (si noti bene l'<em>apparentemente</em>, perchè sarà termine ricorrente nella dinamica della vicenda), impegnata in ruoli di serie B ma con aspirazioni da grande attrice consumata. E certo neanche Pierre sfugge al clichè del giornalista tutto d'un pezzo che preferirebbe trovarsi nel bel mezzo di un attentato kamikaze, piuttosto che stare ad ascoltare le risposte sfuggenti della biondina che sorseggia rusberry martini seduta al tavolo (rigorosamente appartato) di un ristorante alla moda. Il primo incontro tra i due si rivela disastroso, nella miglior tradizione del buon vecchio modello "l'intellettuale e la gallina senza cervello", ma fin dalle battute iniziali appare evidente che le identità di Pierre e Katya non sono poi così antitetiche nè tantomeno schematicamente strutturate. Labile è il confine tra giornalista e intervistato e quando il filo della storia inizia a dipanarsi, non è più possibile distinguere chi abbia l'obiettivo puntato addosso e chi invece tenga il coltello (o la cinepresa, in questo caso) dalla parte del manico.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Arts/Arts_/site_furniture/2007/10/26/interview460.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Un piccolo incidente stradale costringe un dolorante Pierre ad accettare l'ospitalità di Katya nell'enorme loft con vista sulla città. Il gioco ha inizio. In realtà la pellicola di Buscemi si svolge quasi interamente nello spazio chiuso dell'appartamento di Katya, in un clima che Augusten Burroughs definirebbe in gergo pubblicitario "<em>Two Cs in a K</em>" ("<em>two cunts in a kitchen</em>"), anche se non si tratta di due donne, il senso è lo stesso. Come nel recente <em>Sleuth</em> (toh, che caso, un altro remake), i due protagonisti (toh, un altro caso Michael Caine e Jude Law, ex della Miller) si trovano rinchiusi in una villa futuristica minimal-chic senza combinare fondamentalmente nulla, lasciando alla conversazione e alla parola il potere di spingere avanti la vicenda. Ed è esattamente quello che succede in Interview. Pierre cerca di raccogliere materiale per un articolo, Katya non è minimamente disposta a lasciarsi intervistare e la serata si trascina tra pillole, alcool, telefonate sul cellulare dell'attrice (con una suoneria di cane che abbaia), droga, lezioni di seduzione, piccole rivelazioni più o meno scottanti e frammenti del diario segreto di Katya che rivelano a Pierre un'inaspettata profondità e un taciuto dolore.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.pianosequenza.net/public/interview.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Tra i due sembra instaurarsi un legame ambiguo e ambivalente, un'apparente (ci risiamo) attrazione ma anche un'inevitabile repulsione. La bipolarità di Katya è evidente: da una parte cerca ripetutamente di cacciare Pierre, il ficcanaso, il giornalista ma anche il "paparino" che cerca di rompere il muro del suo silenzio e della sua ostentata frivolezza con domande sempre più incalzanti e spinose, dall'altra però, lo vuole accanto a sè, per scoprirne i segreti inconfessati. E per un momento sembra quasi che i due abbiano trovato qualcuno con cui essere se stessi, qualcuno a cui poter confidare il marcio della vita, quello che si sono tenuti dentro per anni o che hanno saputo esternare solo sulle pagine virtuali di un pc. Ma poichè l'apparenza è la chiave di volta di questa pellicola dai risvolti imprevedibilmente amari, quella che era cominciata come una delle tante, ritrite commedie sull'uomo bruttino ma intelligente che vede oltre la scorza di una fascinosa stupida (e magari se ne innamora), si trasforma in un trionfo di menzogne che hanno il solo scopo di approdare ad un'unica, sconcertante verità: Pierre è un bastardo e Katya una ragazza sveglia e sottilmente sadica. Eppure, ed è questo a rendere <em>Interview</em> tanto controverso per lo spettatore abituato - in questi casi - a simpatizzare per l'intellettuale sfigato, è impossibile non provare una certa empatia (dire 'simpatia' sarebbe troppo) per Katya.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://uwstopia.nl/files/2007/05/interview.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Il finale è crudele. Arriva quando credi di aver capito tutto, di aver decifrato il lato oscuro dei due personaggi ed esserne uscito illeso. E' allora che ti colpisce come una tagliola, rimescolando le carte, rimettendo in gioco le ipotesi e le congetture, gettando una nuova luce su quelli che, a tutti gli effetti, erano sembrati l'incarnazione del personaggio "tipizzato" con caratteri stilizzati e facilmente prevedibili. Il valzer delle bugie e delle verità, confuse tra loro e solo in parte svelate, conduce lontano da dove si credeva di essere arrivati e il sottile gioco psicologico seguito dalla cinepresa dello Steve Buscemi regista e ripreso da quella dello Steve Buscemi personaggio (a volte nelle mani di Pierre, a volte di Katya) si snoda nel vorticoso scorrere degli eventi notturni e nel tentativo di cogliere la gamma completa delle sfaccettature umane, le annulla, restituendoci l'immagine distorta di una realtà che non si presenta mai per come è veramente. Anche quando ci si era convinti del contrario.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://bubblegumculture.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/backtalk_2326.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-152" src="http://bubblegumculture.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/backtalk_2326.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="190" /></a></p>
<p>He didn't have the gun or the mustache at the time, but Josh Brolin obviously had the ass-kicking swagger when he got into a bar brawl this weekend in Shreveport, LA. The "No Country for Old Men" actor, in Shreveport filming the Oliver Stone-helmed George W. Bush biopic, "W," was arrested, along with co-star Jeffrey Wright and members of the film's crew, after a fight broke out at the Stray Cat bar.</p>
<p><a href="http://bubblegumculture.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/brolin_wright320.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-153" src="http://bubblegumculture.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/brolin_wright320.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><em>Photo by Splash News Online.</em></p>
<p>In the film, Brolin plays Bush and Wright plays former Secretary of State, Colin Powell. Brolin was booked and released after posting a $334 cash bond, according to the Times of Shreveport.</p>
<p>No word yet on who fought who or what caused the skirmish, but it made me chuckle, as most celebrity bar fights do. These drunken scraps remind us that even though they star on the big screen, walk the red carpet and exist in a realm that seems removed from us common folk, they're just as capable of getting shit-faced and thrown in the clink as the rest of us.</p>
<p>Here are a few more drunken brawlers for your viewing pleasure:</p>

<p>Here's my boy Vince Vaughn after getting into a fight outside a bar in Wilmington, NC. While in town shooting the film "Domestic Disturbance" in 2001, he and another fave of mine, Steve Buscemi, got into a scrap that sent Vaughn to jail and Buscemi to the hospital with stab wounds. Charges against Vaughn were later dropped and both guys seemed to rebound nicely.</p>
<p><a href="http://bubblegumculture.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/josh_jackson.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-155" src="http://bubblegumculture.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/josh_jackson.jpg?w=239" alt="" width="239" height="300" /></a></p>

<p>Here's former "Dawson's Creek" star Josh Jackson in 2002, after getting into a drunken brawl at a hockey game in Raleigh, NC. What's up with these guys getting into it in my home state?</p>
<p>Apparently, Jackson got a little pickled at the Carolina Hurricanes game and tussled with a security guard.</p>
<p>What about you? Ever been in a really good, drunken fight? Or is there an awesome celebrity brawl I've missed? Tell it in the comments!</p>

<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Remembering 28 Days: Rediscovering the Intimacy of Love</strong></span></h3>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>28 Days</em> is the story of  a successful New York City writer who is living in the fast lane and is everyone's favorite party girl.   She shares her roller-coaster social lifestyle, hopping back and forth from dance clubs to bars and the morning after hangovers, with her boyfriend.   He is handsome and magnetic, but equally attracted to life on the wild side.   Life is nothing but a perpetual game of debauchery, until she gets drunk with her boyfriend on the day of her sister's wedding, commandeers her sister's wedding limousine and ends up with a 28-day stay in a substance abuse rehabilitation center.</p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A young urban woman who is cynical to the core, she is determined not to conform.   But her experiences within the highly structured rehab setting begin to break through her carefully constructed defenses and lead her to start taking a closer look at who she might really be.   Ultimately, she gradually starts to lose her deeply jaded sense of pessimism about life and begins to rediscover the possibility of having intimately loving relationships with others.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Note: I had first intended my "letters to emily" category to be a moment of reflection on the works of Emily Dickinson. After my letter to the cats, and feeling kind of inspired by Henry Rollins (I know!), I decided to make it more of an open letter to different people, places, things...</p>
<p>So, on to the letter.</p>
<p>Dear John Malkovich,</p>
<p>No. I realize that too many of us have left you with the impression that you are a stellar actor, but it is time that I speak up. I will give you <em>Empire of the Sun</em>, but let's not kid ourselves, Christian Bale stole that film and made it amazing. And I like <em>Being John Malkovich</em> because it is completely absurd, makes fun of my home New Jersey, and who the hell would ever want to be you anyway? (Again, that's why it's funny). Let's look at some other roles that have generally won you praise: <em>Of Mice and Men</em>. Personally, I get kind of annoyed when some actor is told they play retarded well. I like Sean Penn, but really? Is he really that memorable for <em>I Am Sam</em>? What about <em>The Assassination of Richard Nixon</em>? What about his directing? And I love <em>What's Eating Gilbert Grape</em>, but not because of Leonardo DiCaprio. I mean, he is good in it, but there's also the story that kinda carries the whole film, not to mention Johnny Depp.</p>
<p>Okay, you may also deserve some credit for <em>In The Line of Fire</em>. But you did play a psycho in that. And in <em>Con-Air</em>. You seem well-suited for those roles. That odd shaped head, somewhat sweet and thick voice with a hint of a high-pitch. Again, though, for <em>Con-Air</em> at least, someone else stole the show. In this case it was Steve Buscemi. The man played with Barbie dolls and talked about wearing a human head as a hat. And he wins the prize when it comes to funny looking. The Coen Brothers went with that.</p>
<p>Let me get to what prompted this letter in the first place: <em>Knockaround Guys</em>. Here is a movie, pretty bad mind you, about a group of mob kid friends who decide they want to join the family business. You, as you may or may not know, play the uncle of the main kid, played by Barry Pepper. To hear you attempt a Brooklyn accent and end up sounding like some kid whose just watched <em>A Bronx Tale</em> and is trying really hard to imitate what they assume to be the accent of everyone in this city, is beyond sad. Please, just...no. I have an idea, why not do what you have done in other movies that require an accent, don't do it. In <em>The Messenger</em> you kept your same old John Malkovich voice, despite the efforts of others to sound French. (Vincent Cassel is French, so don't even start the comparisons there). Even in <em>Eragon</em>, which I am admitting to seeing, despite the fact that it is one of the worst movies ever, you did not feel the need to use any accent. Then again, you really did not feel the need to act either. Did you know right away that you were going to treat that performance like practice for other crap roles? Did you just see it as some extra cash? Or were you fooled into thinking it would be good like those of us who shelled out $10 because, like us, you saw Rachel Weisz and Jeremy Irons in the cast and thought "hey, there is no way this can suck!" ? Is that what happened, John? You can be honest. You should know that a god cast does not mean a good film. <em>The Messenger</em> is a great example of that. And you should know that just because everyone says it is good, does not mean it is good. <em>Gone Baby Gone</em>, hello! That movie was a waste of my life. And I cannot get that time back.</p>
<p>Here's the thing, you are in some post-productions that I want to see, and I will see them. But I need you to know that my attending <em>Burn After Reading</em> has nothing to do with you, and everything to do with The Coen Brothers. And when I buy my ticket for <em>The Mutant Chronicles</em> it is because the futuristic movie is about a guy who fights NecroMutants.</p>

<description><![CDATA[In the 80+ DVD movies I have, and I&#8217;m sure that is a small collection (we still have VHS]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the 80+ DVD movies I have, and I'm sure that is a small collection (we still have VHS' too, and each boy has their own collection of DVD's. But, in mine alone, out of eighty movies that range from <strong>Schindler's List</strong> to <strong>Attack of the Killer Tomatoes</strong>, and the "feel good romp" of <strong>Mystic River,</strong> thirteen of these movies have Nicholas Cage in them. I told you this was an Extremely Biased Film Review. My passion for Nicholas Cage, and his acting knows very little bounds and has only recently been replaced by Viggo Mortensen, who I only have two DVD's of.</p>
<p>There are some  actors who just have to act, even if the movie is a stinker. But, then again, in whose opinion?  So here are my thoughts on the Cage movies I own. Starting alphabetically and some in more depth than others:</p>
<p><strong>8mm:</strong> Very good movie and performance by Cage. It is, however a dark and disturbing movie about an "obsessive search for the truth." Cage handles it well and you walk away haunted. I highly recommend it.</p>
<p><strong>Adaptation</strong>: Cage does a good job of becoming a weak, simpering, overweight fool twin. Why in God's name he would want this is beyond me. This movie doesn't deserve either Cage or Meryl Streep. It cons you into buying it because it was by the creator of <strong>Being John Malkovich</strong>, an excellent film. The best thing about Adaptation is the cover photo of Cage's face on a broken flower pot.</p>
<p><strong>Captain Corelli's Mandolin</strong>: Okay one of the top Chick-Flick, wish you were his co-star, movies of all times. And, he learned to play the Mandolin for it. It's a great romantic story with a sexy lead. Men ask, why the heck is Nicholas Cage considered sexy? I don't know guys, maybe it's the fact that he doesn't hesitate to throw himself into everything he does. He's not afraid to look foolish or dance or learn to play the Mandolin. I don't want men fighting over me. I want a man who keeps living life to the fullest, without shame or fear of looking stupid, and Cage has got that down.  YUMMM!</p>
<p><strong>City of Angels:</strong> One of my absolute favorite movies of all time. Talk about living life to the fullest.  There is a line in this movie about rather living a life with you than an eternity without you. Wouldn't we all give anything to have that kind of love? In this movie, the Protagonist gives up immortality for the woman he loves. When you are watching this film you realize that maybe you haven't been living life to the fullest, yourself.  Close your eyes and tell me what a pomegranite tastes like, but tell me with your sense of touch and sound and eyes, not your taste. Just watch it and you will understand.</p>
<p><strong>Con Air</strong>: Why I had to buy this is unknown, because Starz plays it about every three months. It's a movie that when nothing else is on, including Two and a Half Men, you can watch it over and over and over and over. And, I have. Cage looks fantastic in long curly hair and jeans. He hasn't overdone the accent. You want him fighting for your friends and coming home to you. There are some great other actors in this: John Cusack, John Malkovich, and an awsome performance by Steve Buscemi.</p>
<p><strong>The Family Man</strong>: This is a movie for when a group of friends are half watching. You won't mind them talking during it. It's good and funny. He goes from being a wealthy womanizing bachelor to a married man. He learns to love his kids and get more out of life than the almighty dollar. Just average stuff.</p>
<p><strong>Guarding Tess</strong>: I have no idea why I like this, but I do. Shirley MacLane does an excellent job as a crudgy retired first lady; escaping her guards and giving Cage a hard time. He's a reluctant body guard but when the chips are down, he's there for her.</p>
<p><strong>LORD OF WAR</strong>: Okay, notice the caps. This is my vote for Oscar winning performance and movie. I love this movie. I think this movie should be a must see for high school kids. It's based on a real story of an actual illegal gun dealer, who was arrested a year after this was out. Cage is fantastic in it. The story is worth the watch. I don't know why it didn't get better reviews, but it deserved them.</p>
<p> <strong>Matchstick Men:</strong> Billed as an "ingenious, wonderful movie." Not to me. Cage's take on an Obsessive Compulsive does not come close to Tony Shalub's, in Monk.  But, then on the back it says he is "agoraphobe, a germaphone" so obviously the acting did not say anything clear to me. It's an okay movie, when you are sick, have chicken soup and are too tired to read.</p>
<p><strong>Red Rock West</strong>: Here's a little known Cage movie that I fell in love with. He's just so human in this movie.  It's a great story about a guy who has one thing after another that literally brings him back to a town he would just as soon leave; and for his own safety he needs to leave. It will keep you guessing and entertain you too.</p>
<p><strong>The Rock</strong>: Okay, if you get Starz, this is the other Cage movie that plays every three months. Sean Connery and Ed Harris are in it with him and they are a great team of actors. I love the opening scene where Cage, as a bored chemical weapons specialist, sits making a rube goldberg contraption to set fire to a toy Hula Dancer. I've watched <em>The Rock</em> a bazillion times (on Starz) and enjoy it every time.</p>
<p><strong>The Weather Man:</strong> This one is so good that I barely remember what it is. That's NOT a good sign, especially when Michael Caine is in it too. The billing, to get you to watch says it is part, <em>American Beauty</em> and part <em>About Schmidt</em>. Well, that says it all. It's a waste of time movie. Must have been in the $5.00 bin. I think Cage mailed in his performance too.</p>
<p><strong>Windtalkers:</strong> I thought about making this it's own Blog. I do think that Cage deserved an Oscar for this movie. He plays damaged soldier, brave soldier, caring soldier, human soldier excellently. It's all those things and more. Highly recommend!</p>

<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:'Lucida Grande';font-size:11px;line-height:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;"><a href="http://matchcuts.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/interview.jpg"></a>Steve Buscemi's smug D.C. journalist gets into a series of verbal fisticuffs with Sienna Miller's It Girl actress after their initial interview goes awry, and the proceeding interlude borders on warfare. Despite booze, drugs, and innuendo, each manipulator holds their own, delivering countless barbs of potent wisdom that initially feel well-meaning. Buscemi constantly keeps us guessing as to what's real, fabricated, or a mix of the two, and the leads perform this dance marvelously. <em>Interview</em> is the kind of throwback theatrical movie where two characters slither around the truth, worm into sensitive spots, and unleash a plague of vindictiveness on each other - the last wo(man) standing wins.  I haven't seen the Theo van Gogh original, but Buscemi's re-visioning feels altogether American - the culture of celebrity seems a perfect bedfellow for the corroding ethics of high end political paparazzi. </span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today was Philadelphia's Bi-Annual Punk Rock Flea Market.<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v41/joestak/?action=view&#38;current=prfm_sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v41/joestak/prfm_sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />
Which means saddle up and by some crap your psyched on!  I bought a super old school plastic skateboard for 2, a hotdog on a surfboard for 1, and 3 GWAR VHS tapes for 8.  I went with IRA card holding member Andrew.  Also took a bunch of artists cards so I can check them out later on the internet.  It was a well needed and excellent source of smiling at strangers and striking up fun conversations.  Plus buddies Herbin Shellinbaaacka was selling millions of Audio circles.  neighborhood Cute brigade Leah and Juli set up a Scrapple fort plus cute baby clothes.<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v41/joestak/?action=view&#38;current=l_f9e418831c42f41e524a1b280c5d22b1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v41/joestak/l_f9e418831c42f41e524a1b280c5d22b1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />
Buddy Brian tried selling Tony Hawk 3 (is he out of his fucking mind.)  I also met 2 great gals at the Yelp Reviews table.<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v41/joestak/?action=view&#38;current=Picture3.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v41/joestak/Picture3.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />
Well didn't fully meet, more like chatted with. Anyway it inspired me to right this loose review on my neighborhood.<br />
Living in the Faimount area for about 2 years has it's perks.  One of which is living so close to a giant castle like prison.<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v41/joestak/?action=view&#38;current=article_carousel.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v41/joestak/article_carousel.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />
If your looking for a review of the historic tours, I don't know anything about that (except the audio tour is voiced by Steve Buscemi).<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v41/joestak/?action=view&#38;current=buscemi.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v41/joestak/buscemi.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />
However I do know there's a solid coffee shop called mugshots across the street.  I find a relaxing routine in drinking coffee while sitting on the prison ledge on a nice afternoon.<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v41/joestak/?action=view&#38;current=12_logo.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v41/joestak/12_logo.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />
Mugshots is also a free trade business with many organic options, a real guilt free establishment.  Head over there and get a crush on one of the employees STAT.<br />
There's also a great bar across the street called the Urban Saloon.  To get through the door you often must be wearing sandals, a collared polo shirt, and be psyched on the new Dave album.<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v41/joestak/?action=view&#38;current=ticketsdavematthewspictureBIG.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v41/joestak/ticketsdavematthewspictureBIG.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />
I'm just messing around, but  seriously did you get that thing I forwarded you Karen?!<br />
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v41/joestak/?action=view&#38;current=kittens-cups.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v41/joestak/kittens-cups.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />
I've actually never been in there but, impressions you know . . . back to the prison.  You are probably familiar with the fact that Al Capone spent time in the prison, and also of its ghost stories.  However the buzz around the neighborhood recently is that there are these cars that drive through the cell blocks at night.  But there not like regular cars, they like change into these robot figures, it's like their . . .  Transformers (2).  So get your cargo shorts on and get that blue tooth in your ear, because the guys at the Gaffer truck need more water, and the on set art directer needs a hot brick.  (that's a battery for his walkie talkie.)</p>
<p>TERROR BEHIND THE WALLS!<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Non lo avevo neanche nominato...Tarantino. Molte volte viene indicato come regista di tutti i generi possibili, ma mai nessuno gli riconosce (e so che lui lo vorrebbe) l'influenza che ha avuto dal noir (soprattutto nei primi film), dal poliziottesco italiano e dal thriller in generale...ed è così che vado a presentare, l'indiscutibile, per me capolavoro, che si chiama "Le Iene", un noir a tutti gli effetti, toccato da momenti grotteschi ( che poi diventeranno tipici di Tarantino) ma che tutto sommato si regge sulla tecnica del flashback a racccontare dettagliatamente tutti i personaggi della storia, e man mano che i personaggi vengono presentati, la storia prende corpo e si comprende fin verso un finale da fuochi d'artificio. Importante il cast, che regge bene il film, a partire da chi ha permesso la produzione di questo film, l'immane Harvey Keitel, ad altri personaggi mica da ridere come Steve Buscemi, Michael Madsen, Tim Roth la buonanima di Chris Penn.  Significativa la partecipazione come comparsa di <strong>Edward Bunker, </strong>voluta dal regista a tutti i costi, e il che la dice lunga...grande recensione del dottor Noir, gustatevela...<br />
PS- Chi di Tarantino apprezza le ultime cose, o guardando Le Iene, penserà che non sia lui e non ne vorrà sapere, o ri-scoprirà un grande regista...</p>
<h4 style="text-align:center;"><strong><br />
Le Iene<br />
di Quentin Tarantino<br />
con: Harvey Keitel, Steve Buscemi, Michael Madsen, Tim Roth, Chris Penn<br />

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Lungometraggio d’esordio di Quentin Tarantino, a tutti gli effetti, uno dei maggiori esponenti del neo noir insieme ai fratelli Coen, tanto per citare alcuni tra quelli di maggior rilievo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Regista di culto come ,ormai, tutti sapranno esclusivamente o quasi, ahimè, grazie alla pellicola seguente, Pulp fiction, la piu’conosciuta e decantata trascurando o addirittura ignorando l’esistenza di Rasevoir dogs, Le iene, il film in questione, davvero un’ottimo esempio di gangster-movie contemporaneo. In seguito Quentin oltre ad averci regalato un’altro film se pur inferiore ai precedenti nonostante questo di pregevole fattura come Jackie Brown, lo stesso purtroppo ignorato da molti, i quali sembrano aver dato sicuramente piu’ credito ai successivi lavori come Kill bill vol. 1-2 e Grindhouse – A prova di morte, i quali, naturalmente, a mio modo di vedere siano dei meri divertissement divertenti e divertiti e nulla piu’.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ritornando alla pellicola che merita sicuramente di essere annoverata tra i nuovi classici del genere in questione, racconta di due criminali (di cui uno gravemente ferito) scampati a una rapina finita male si rifugiano in un capannone, stabilito come punto di ritrovo per tutta la banda. Man mano che arrivano gli altri si cerca di capire cos’è andato storto, e la situazione prende una brutta piega: si è trattato di una trappola? Chi ha tradito? Il sospetto cresce, fino all’esplosione finale.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La vicenda si svolge quasi per intero nel capannone dove si incontrano i gangster, vestiti tutti allo stesso modo e ognuno chiamato con il nome di un colore (Mr. White, Mr. Pink ecc.).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Su questo impianto teatrale si innesta una vertiginosa struttura a flashback, tipica del genere, infarcita di dialoghi brillanti da commedia (nera), come ad esempio nella sequenza d’apertura, in cui troviamo i membri della banda, gangster professionisti, parlare dei loro singoli musicali preferiti di Madonna, come fossero persone comuni intente a passare del tempo con argomenti occasionali e frivoli. Black Humor quindi e un’ esplosiva carica di violenza contraddistinguono quest’ottima pellicola intrisa di riferimenti, come già detto, al cinema noir-gangsteristico, che vanno dal Kubrick di Rapina a mano armata al Melville di Lo spione, passando per alcune pellicole italiane di maestri del genere, cosidetto poliziesco all’italiana, come Fernando di Leo, autore tra gli altri di Milano calibro 9 e Umberto Lenzi.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nel film sono presenti sequenze di straordinaria forza espressiva, raggiunta anche grazie a un gruppo di interpreti di prim’ordine come Harvey Keitel, anche coproduttore del film, Tim Roth, Michel Madsen e Steve Buscemi, caratterista di talento tra i prediletti di Tarantino che ritorna in un piccolo cameo in Pulp fiction, e dei fratelli Coen, il quale lo ritroviamo in Fargo e ne Il Grande Lebowsky.<br />

<p>"An Adventure As Big As Life Itself."</p>
<p><strong><em>Big Fish</em></strong> is a fun and fantastic film about the life of Edward Bloom [Ewan McGregor]. As his son, Will [played by Billy Crudup], experiences his father's life through the tall tales he was told as a child, he begins to understand that his perception of his father all these years might not have been entirely accurate. And he's figuring it out while his father is on his deathbed [elder Edward Bloom played by Albert Finney] after getting a call from his mother [Jessica Lange].</p>
<p>This was one of those gems we wandered into because we're Tim Burton fans and we came out completely happy. The visuals were stunning, the story was quirky and fun, sometimes sad, but overall it was just infectious in it's innocence. It's a study in how, over time and retelling, any tale can turn into a legend, but the underlying message generally stays intact. Ewan McGregor does a great job playing the younger Edward Bloom in a series of fun and vivid flashbacks as Will tries to piece together who his father really was. Along the way we meet many colorful characters played by Danny DeVito, Steve Buscemi, Helena Bonham Carter, and more. </p>
<p><strong>4 out of 5</strong>. If you like Tim Burton, Ewan McGregor, <strong><em>The Wizard of Oz</em></strong>, the show <strong><em>P</em></strong><strong><em>ushing Daises</em></strong> or all of the above, you'll love it.  </p>
<p><strong>Add'l Info</strong>: Released: Jan 4, 2004 • Runtime: 125 minutes • Rated PG-13 for a fight scene, some images of nudity and a suggestive reference</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="vertical-align:middle;" src="http://stores.homestead.com/unitedindependentmedia/catalog/Reservoir-Dogs-DVD.jpg" alt="" width="360" height="504" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Só o comprei porque, na altura, andava um bocado com a mania de ver filmes do <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000233/">Quentin Tarantino</a> . O meu objectivo era mesmo vê-los todos, mas como a vida não está fácil, apareceu-me este à frente e comprei-o. O filme fala-nos de um plano perfeito, que acabou por não ser assim tão perfeito. Tudo estava preparado para correr às mil maravilhas. O problema aqui é que eles não puseram na equação a instabilidade humana e a polícia. Sob pressão somos uma verdadeira caixinha de surpresas.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Joe Cabot (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0862937/">Lawrence Tierney</a>) reúne seis estranhos, para executar o plano perfeito. Eles eram completos estranhos uns para os outros. A sua identificação só era conhecida por Cabot. Eles eram Mr. White (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000172/">Harvey Keitel</a>), Mr. Orange (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000619/">Tim Roth</a>), Mr. Blonde (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000514/">Michael Madsen</a>), Mr. Pink ( <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000114/">Steve Buscemi</a>), Mr. Blue (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0120483/">Edward Bunker</a>) e Mr. Brown (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000233/">Quentin Tarantino</a>). Eles iriam assaltar um joelharia, quando tudo corre mal. A polícia aparece de repente ! O grupo não aguenta a pressão e foge, morrendo Mr.Brown e deixando Mr.Orange às portas da morte. Mr.Blue desaparece no meio daquela confusão toda. É então que eles se reúnem num armazém. Que era o local de reencontro. Os intervenientes aqui serão Mr.White, Mr.Pink, Mr.Orange e Mr.Blonde. Imediatamente eles começam a suspeitar que existe um informador da polícia entre eles. Grande parte do filme é passado neste local. O filme também recorre a algumas analepses (ao estilo de Lost), para mostrar como é que eles entraram para o gangue.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Com tudo isto eles começam a desconfiar uns dos outros. É esta desconfiança, que irá criar um ambiente de grande tensão naquele armazém. Toda a gente desconfia de alguém. É através de deduções que Mr.White e Mr.Pink tentam chegar ao informador, por outro lado também existe a possibilidade de não existir qualquer informador e apenas terem tido grande azar. O final torna-se um verdadeiro pandemonium. Bem ao estilo do velho oeste. O filme é surpreendentemente bom, sinceramente gostei de ele todo. Tanto as partes de humor, como as falas, como também todo o ambiente de "cortar à faca". O final não poderia ser melhor. Quem é o informador ? O que é que vai acontecer dentro daquele armazém ? Isso são as perguntas que nos irão pôr colados ao ecran até ao fim.</p>

<p><span style="color:#666600;">"<strong>Me Tarzan, You Jane!</strong>"</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#666600;">Uau! Que filme! A princípio, somos apresentados a dois personagens que parecem que falam línguas diferentes, como também que vivem em mundos diferentes. Mas ambos moram em Nova Iorque. Que não deixa de ser uma selva, já que é pontuada com universos diferentes como os desses dois. E quem são eles? Como os caminhos deles se cruzaram?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#666600;">Num pequeno resumo: Pierre Peders (Steve Buscemi) é um repórter que traz na bagagem os bastidores da política, dos políticos, como também os das guerras modernas. Katya (Sienna Milller) é uma jovem e linda atriz de filmes "B", como também a estrela de uma Série de Tv.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#666600;">Por conta de que um repórter do seu gabarito fora mandado entrevistar essa atriz? Irritado, tenta ainda convencer seu chefe que até pelo atraso de mais de uma hora da atriz poderiam cancelar a entrevista e ainda teria tempo de chegar a Washington. Por estarem às vésperas de um escândalo ser revelado. Ele queria estar lá e dando essa notícia. Ser ele o entrevistado. Durante essa cena, um lance com o celular, e que acrescido ao com a atriz, deixa claro o que que quebra as regras no mundo: notoriedade.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#666600;">A chegada da atriz, aumenta ainda mais a sua insatisfação. Ela chega como a dona daquele pedaço, com todos os holofotes sobre si. Ela percebendo que ele nem fez questão de uma pequena pesquisa sobre sua vida, como também já não estava motivada a dar essa entrevista, também não esconde mais a insatisfação. Aceitara mesmo pelo jornal que ele representa. O que poderia ter sido até uma respeitosa troca de favores, vira um duelo verbal. Até que Katya toma a iniciativa e põe um fim aquela situação, com algo do tipo: "<em><strong>Vai se catar!</strong></em>"</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#666600;">Mas por conta de um acidente de percurso, à saída do restaurante, em vez de cada um seguir o seu caminho, eis que o destino os colocam lado a lado. E essas duas feras feridas irão se despir numa longa jornada noite adentro. Agora, quem dali seria o entrevistado? Ou, quem seria o intelectual, o inteligente... A louraça seria mesmo uma patricinha? Sem neurônios?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#666600;">E o final... Já estariam cicatrizados os seus ferimentos? Teria ficado como um acordo de cavaleiro? Houvera uma troca cujo interesse seria alguém para mais que desabafar, pudesse então entender o porque da vida que ambos levavam? Ou como um: "<em>Ok! Aqui estamos nós desarmados, mas lá fora, não esqueça, sou, continuo marcando o meu território. Te pego fácil, no laço!</em>"</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#666600;">Acompanhamos esses dois, sem desgrudar os olhos. Dão um show de interpretação! Steve Buscemi que além de protagonista, dirige como um Grande Mestre. O filme se passa quase todo num único local e só com ele e ela. Ah sim, mais o diálogo que não deixa pedra sobre pedra... Uma produção independente classe A! Filmaço!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#666600;">Fica a sugestão também para os estudantes de jornalismo, até por conta do motivo do "rebaixamento" do personagem. Por nos fazer lembrar de algo ocorrido num passado recente, e num grande jornal dos Estados Unidos.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The political journalist Pierre Peters (Steve Buscemi) has the, in his eyes, dreadful task of interviewing the slasher-film actress Katya (Sienna Miller). He is completely unprepared whereas she is entirely unmotivated to do the interview. The two of them somehow manage to find a way of communicating. They like and hate each other at the same time, they fight, they kiss, they cry.</p>
<p>Most of the film is set in Katya's incredible loft apartment. I find it fascinating that the relationship between the characters can hold the audience's attention even though it is mainly two people in one room. Plus it's more or less filmed in real time. But it just works. It is a captivating, amusing and intriguing story.<a href="http://happy2ness.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/interview.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-36 alignright" style="float:right;" src="http://happy2ness.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/interview.jpg?w=210" alt="Interview" width="149" height="213" /></a></p>
<p>Steve Buscemi is as brilliant as ever. He is so beautifully eccentric that it is hard not to love him. The stunning Sienna Miller gives a great performance as this spoiled but surprisingly clever starlet and her American accent is excellent.</p>
<p>The film, directed by Buscemi himself, is actually a remake (or tribute) to Theo van Gogh's Dutch version.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://Ninguno"><img src="http://cinefagos.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/i-think-i-love-my-wife-resena-cinefagos-001.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="249" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2927" /></a><br />
Aprovechando unos días de descanso he tenido la oportunidad de ver unas cuantas películas que, a pesar de mis iniciales prejuicios, han conseguido sorprenderme gratamente. La primera de ellas es precisamente la que nos ocupa, ‘<a href="http://http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0770772/" target="_blank">Creo que quiero a mi mujer</a>’ (I think I love my wife), escrita, dirigida y protagonizada por Chris Rock.</span></p>
<p><strong>Los que me conocen saben que Rock no es ni mucho menos santo de mi devoción</strong>, así que me predispuse a ver la película esperando un desfile de episodios más o menos graciosos, algo de digestión rápida para una de esas veladas en las que no quieres pensar. <strong>Sin embargo, reconozco que me toca auto flagelarme por haber menospreciado las capacidades de Rock, puesto que la película que nos ocupa es una de las comedias románticas más decentes e interesantes que he visto en mucho tiempo.</strong></p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>La trama nos sitúa en la vida de Richard, un economista con un buen trabajo, una guapa esposa y un par de hijos a los que adora. Todo parece perfecto en su pequeño reino salvo un pequeño detalle: su esposa se niega a practicar sexo, una situación que ha desembocado en tener que visitar a una asesora matrimonial. El repentino regreso de una ex novia de cuerpo escultural hará que Richard se replantee su vida y su matrimonio.</p>
<p>Evidentemente la trama tal y como se plantea no da para mucho, si acaso un par de gags ingeniosos y el resto a base de ese relleno pasteloso que tan presente está en las comedias románticas de hoy día. Nada más lejos, <strong>Rock opta por elaborar un análisis mucho más interesante sobre las consecuencias de la llegada de los hijos, el paso a la madurez real, los límites de la fidelidad y, sobre todo, una búsqueda del verdadero significado del amor. Y para colmo lo hace con un exquisito equilibrio entre comedia y drama, sabiendo ofrecer a partes iguales entretenimiento y reflexión.</strong></p>
<p>Resultan especialmente destacables las escenas en las que el protagonista, en plena sequía sexual, se imagina cómo sería volver a ser soltero, soñando con las exóticas bellezas que se le cruzan por la calle. O el revelador paseo por la feria del automóvil, comparando su visita con su ex novia admirando los Ferrari, en contraposición con la misma visita con su mujer, que le lleva directamente a los mono volúmenes familiares. A través de sus escarceos Richard se va dando cuenta de los pequeños placeres que dejó atrás y que tanto echa de menos, pero a la par comprende que realmente hay una edad para cada cosa, y que su etapa fiestera ya pasó. El dilema del protagonista, con ese quiero y no puedo, se nos presenta sin la típica moralina que otros films desprenden en cantidades industriales. <strong>La diferencia, en mi opinión, es que aquí el protagonista es una persona con la que nos podemos sentir identificados, un hombre normal, que debe plantearse si su vida era lo que había imaginado.</strong> Y es precisamente esto lo que más llama mi atención, que alguien tan habitualmente histriónico como Rock haya podido moderarse e interpretar a un hombre cualquiera, sin necesidad de recurrir a los chistes fáciles sobre racismo y a tener que decir tres ‘fuck’ por minuto, lo que es más, cambia esa socarronería macarra por una más discreta, creíble y mordaz. Incluso se permite un directo homenaje a cierta <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgOxqwVd5Z8">famosa escena</a> de 'Bananas' del genial Woody Allen.</p>
<p>La única nota disonante en toda la película es cierto numerito musical en forma de colofón final que descoloca al espectador y cambia el tono de la película de mala manera. Una excentricidad que no pesa lo suficiente para echar por tierra el resto de la cinta pero que recuerda que Rock es capaz de lo mejor y lo peor.</p>
<p>En el apartado interpretativo, el cómico afroamericano se ajusta perfectamente al papel, como comentaba anteriormente. Junto a él encontramos a Gina Torres en el papel de la frígida mujer de Richard (un personaje que no da para mucho), y a la exuberante (y poco más) Kerry Washington como la ex novia que abrirá la caja de Pandora de la inseguridad. En un papelín secundario encontramos al gran Steve Buscemi, un actor tan genial como desaprovechado últimamente.</p>
<p><strong>En conclusión, ‘Creo Que Quiero A Mi Mujer’ es una película perfecta para ver con tu pareja. Una de esas comedias románticas que pueden contentar tanto a hombres como mujeres y que no trata al respetable como una ameba</strong>. Tras su fugaz paso por las carteleras españolas (¿Llegó a ser estrenada?) es un buen momento para rescatarla en dvd y darle una nueva oportunidad.</p>
<p><strong>Lo Mejor</strong>: el equilibrio entre comedia y drama. No es otra tontería superficial</p>
<p><strong>Lo Peor</strong>: el numerito musical del final</p>
