Along with Michel Gondry, he’s one of my long-time favourite directors (ever since his legendary vid for Björk’s “It’s Oh So Quiet” all the way up to last year’s “Where The Wild Things Are”). And now he’s about to explore the humanity of being a robot.
<br />
<br />His latest half-hour short film “I’m Here” is now available free online! Commissioned in collab with Absolut (and say what you want about corporate sponsorship, Absolut has a long history of supporting the arts and working with up-and-coming designers and artists through various campaigns) it’s the story of two robots meeting up and falling in love in LA.

To the great joy of classic French literature fans: There are currently two separate adaptations of 'The Three Musketeers' in the works.
<br />
<br />The first was announced in September and is being helmed by 'Alien vs. Predator' director Paul W.S. Anderson, who is planning to add a contemporary feel and shooting in … wait for it … 3-D (similar to his Resident Evil IV). Also, like any other sensible people currently making a movie starring humans, the project’s producers were hoping to cast Taylor Lautner. Anderson is now working on the screenplay with Andrew Davies and they better write fast! Warner Bros. is going full steam ahead on their own adaptation, with 'The Men Who Stare at Goats’ Peter Straughan hard at work on the script. While there’s no director set, 'The Devil Wears Prada’s' David Frankel and 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith's' Doug Liman are on the top of the wish list.
<br />
<br />Of course we’ve seen this epic battle of the studios before; remember Dreamworks' 'Antz' and Pixar's 'A Bug's Life'? The Illusionist/The Prestige? And isn’t 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' and 'Clash of the Titans' pretty much the same thing?

In recent years McQueen had become one of the most popular designers in fashion. His Spring 2010 collection was shown during New York's Mercedes Benz Fashion Week last September, and it became a major event when Lady Gaga debuted her single, "Bad Romance" at the show.

Undimmed by the new era of austerity, its energy and creativity have merely been refocused. In this city once driven by excess, there’s a greater appreciation of quality over quantity. Not a day goes by without one-of-a-kind shops and restaurants or striking buildings springing up all around town. </span></span><br /><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN" lang="EN"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">And snaking its way through New York City on former train tracks, Manhattan’s “High Line” with new hanging gardens has proved a hit with both locals and visitors. With its great views and naturalistic planting, the raised promenade (ones an elevated railroad) now provides one of New York’s most uplifting experiences. All the more reason to return to the greatest city this side of the ocean.</span></span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666337439286907657.post-44807578702758178292010-02-09T17:05:00.000-08:002010-02-10T21:36:20.272-08:00Bleak and Disturbed- The Films of Michael Haneke<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN" style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN" style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11;">Michael Haneke is an “intellectual” filmmaker, that is, his films operate on numerous levels beneath the surface of the screen, which make his films all the more challenging and engaging – they are not meant to be “consumed” but considered without proper consequences.<em><span style="FONT-STYLE: normal; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri', 'sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-: minor-bidifont-family:'Times New Roman';" > </span></em></span><br /><span style="font-family:Calibri;">He denies the traditional revelation. We don’t find out the answer at the end, as we except to with any other story. His films leave you unsettled, agitated and reflective afterwards, which is the sign of a great film(maker) when it sparks off a cerebral reaction that keeps buzzing around in your head for a few days and forces you to confront, analyze and challenge the ideas and concepts within the film. </span><span style="font-family:Calibri;">His films are bleak, disturbing and unnervingly ambiguous BUT they give you (the spectator) much needed credit and leave you thinking.

Imagine- an uninterrupted sound experience, and the ability to munch on a noisy food to your heart’s content. You can even pop off to the washroom without missing a word of dialogue. And you still get the benefit of the big screen and the communal atmosphere. Or as they call it, an individual experience, together. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt"><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">The concept premiered at the Andaz hotel in London (England). Though it probably won’t become mainstream enough to make its way across the globe, and indeed there is a certain pleasure in the traditional theatre experience, it will present an appealing alternative for some. It also speaks to our current age where, for better or worse, the line between public and private experience is increasingly blurred.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666337439286907657.post-1947893448126816892010-02-01T09:44:00.000-08:002010-02-17T17:10:52.597-08:00Beach Boys meets David Lynch<a href="http://www.alexprager.com/"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433399914899843842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieGNE_LrS_2zE9xSak47ssub8pT4JFFvrJLayijEKJnopETFtUZz4c503q5L9F4DO8iR6ewn-kMAeIUG093bp4nxUh_DJZQrDKPvoXQUgSE5-P73FohMTAtpJC7VDNbpSJgTb7_X1rSIY/s320/1alexprager%5B1%5D.jpg" /></a>

But check out the way they’re looking at one another, the weirdly forceful body language, the waxiness behind the tans. Something’s deeply wrong in those lives, and all the saturated Kodachrome-y color and retro buoyancy in the world can’t disguise it. These new photographs, entitled ‘Weekend’ add an extra, more personal dimension to the otherworldliness: They were all shot in the L.A. neighborhood where Prager grew up, and the models’ clothes came from an actress friend of her grandmother’s. </span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">As with previous works ‘Weekend’ continues Alex’s fascination with the retro-kitsch, highly saturated, and mind-blowingly vibrant. The result is an incredible staging of the beautiful with the crisply sterile, and will sometimes have you wondering just who or what you are looking at. It also hasn't hurt that she's chucked in a few lovely ladies smoking on car bonnets. </span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">If you’re a David Lynch fan, this is the photographer for you.</span></p>

Box office is arguably more straightforward to report than TV ratings yet one respect in which boxoffice reporting is pretty odd- emphasizing ticket grosses yet rarely mentioning ticket sales. With everybody reporting how "Avatar" is The Biggest Movie of All Time based on grosses ($2.039 billion and counting), it's important to remember how rising ticket prices skew the returns.

At the Sundance film festival, director <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLJS8vAq6-M">Tamra Davis </a>released her documentary “Jean-Michel Basquiat- The Radiant Child,” to much appraise. Davis was friends with the painter and while in film school began shooting footage of him at work in his loft and at exhibits. Also at Sundance, a quasi-doc called “Exit Through the Gift Shop” covers the history of graffiti art, starting with Basquiat in the late 1970’s. These are both perfect additions to Julian Schnabel’s 1996 fictional film <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VPuD1vOAyw">“Basquiat”</a> starring Jeffrey Wright and David Bowie and Andy Warhol.
