 Filmtracks: The Others (Alejandro Amenabar)
The Others: (Alejandro Amenabar) Only once in a while does a mainstream film feature a single writer, director, and composer all in one, and this is the case with Alejandro Amenabar, whose English speaking and scoring debut is this summer's late horror hit, The Others.
Questions are always raised as to whether or not one man should even attempt to write, direct, and score the same film, because such efforts have often led to disasterous outcomes in the past (though John Ottman remains one of the few composer/filmmakers with a chance to make it work).
Alejandro Amenabar's The Others is among the kind of horror scores meant simply for the establishment of an echoing, minimalistic atmosphere, with an occasional burst of orchestral fright.

 calendarlive.com: 'The Sea Inside'
Witty and sharp, the story of a quadriplegic's fight for the right to assisted suicide explores what it means to be alive.
Alejandro Amenábar's deeply moving "The Sea Inside" transcends what by rights should have been a bummer of a story to become one of the most profound and uplifting dramas of the year.
Based on the true story of Ramón Sampedro, a Spanish quadriplegic who for 30 years fought for the right to assisted suicide, the film focuses on Ramón's passion for life — which was not, in his case, at odds with his wish to die.

 The Sea Inside DVD Review
That may seem like a massive contradiction, but in the hands of director Alejandro Amen#225;bar (Open Your EyesThe Others) and actor Javier Bardem (Before Night Falls), this fact-based Spanish drama concerns the final days of Ram#243;n Sampedro, the quadriplegic poet who waged a controversial campaign for his right to die.
He was denied this right for 30 years, and ultimately arranged for his own assisted suicide, but this remarkable film--and Bardem's keenly intelligent performance--examines the hotly-debated issue of assisted suicide with admirable depth and humanity, just as Sampedro did until his death in 1998.
Alejandro Amenábar's "The Sea Inside" is a film that asks the tough questions.

 The Others
A welcome throwback to the spooky traditions of Jack Clayton's The Innocents and Robert Wise's The Haunting, Alejandro Amenandaacute;bar's The Others favors atmosphere, sound, and suggestion over flashy special effects.
Set in 1945 on a fog-enshrouded island off the British coast, the film begins with a scream as Grace (Nicole Kidman) awakens from some unspoken horror, perhaps arising from her religiously overprotective concern for her young children, Anne (Alakina Mann) and Nicholas (James Bentley).
Amenandaacute;bar unveiled a similarly effective twist in his Spanish thriller Open Your Eyes (remade by Cameron Crowe as Vanilla Sky), but where that film drew debate, The Others is finely crafted to provoke well-earned goose bumps and chills down the spine.

An outstanding 1997 foreign film remade by one of Hollywood's young and upcoming directors.
Replace Insomnia for Alejandro Amen bar's Abre los Ojos and Nolan for Cameron Crowe and that description works perfectly for Vanilla Sky as well.
And like Crowe, Nolan succeeds in taking a good film, bumping the budget way above European standards and emerging with a movie almost as good as the one he started with.

 Vanilla Sky - DVD Store
Vanilla Sky reunites director Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire) with über-playboy Tom Cruise, adds another sexy Cruz (Penélope) and Cameron Diaz for good measure, and delivers a wildly entertaining, bizarre venture into erotic science fiction.
Adapted near exactly from Spanish filmmaker Alejandro Amenandaacute;bar's 1997 romantic thriller Open Your Eyes, the film follows David Aames (Cruise) as he falls from his graceful Manhattan perch of inordinate wealth, good looks, and newfound love with Sofia (Cruz) because of severe facial disfigurement in a car accident caused by a suicidal ex-lover (Diaz).
What at first promises to be a conventional allegory of redemption via true love is turned on its head as Cruise's character, reduced to wearing a latex mask and spurned by his friends, wins back his princess only after a miracle of plastic surgery restores his former beauty.

Rated PG-13 for intense depiction of mature thematic material.
"The Sea Inside" aims to put a human face on the issue of euthanasia, and in that effort Spanish director Alejandro Amen!bar and star Javier Bardem do their jobs too well - because their protagonist is so full of life that he undercuts his own arguments for ending it.
Bardem, the hunky actor from "Before Night Falls," plays Ram n Sampedro, a Spanish writer who lived 30 years as a quadriplegic, lying in bed and tended by his family on their farm.

 'Vanilla Sky' - Poetry Connection
Given his status as America's top male sex symbol, there's a perverse irony to Tom Cruise's virtually simmer-free performances in would-be erotic thrillers like Eyes Wide Shut and this Cameron Crowe remake of Spanish director Alejandro Amenandaacute;bar's Abre los Ojos (Open Your Eyes).
But if Crowe stops just short of delivering another undercooked holiday Tom turkey, his vaunted early career as boy-wonder rock writer--and the help of frequent collaborator Danny Bramson--informs the film with an exceptionally rich and eclectic pop music score that leans heavily on unreconstructed psychedelia.
2) The other song I really like is the Radiohead song playing when David is in the bar.
