	Wong Kar-wai : Happy Together
		A movie released in the year of the Handover, Happy Together unfolds on the other side of the globe from Hong Kong and is informed by such gravity.
		It is also a visual feast, with Christopher Doyle's ever dazzling and unmooring variety of film stocks and shooting speeds persisting as a jazzy and stimulating visual accompaniment to another tale of Wongean ache.
		A story of failed tourism, Happy Together presents the idea of home as both haunting and long- gone.

	happy together cinema review
		It was a relief to have Happy Together land in the Ottawa region, particularly after being denied the inestimable treat that is Fallen Angels (Wong Kar-Wai's fourth film that never made it here).
		The film has no doubt benefitted from the 'Best Direction' accolade it earned at Cannes last year.
		Although the events and situations in Wong's films are never banal or uninteresting the real strength of the filmmaker is his abiltiy to appropriately employ every facet of the medium.

	[Leica] New Years Day photo
		For years, I've avoided Fuji in general, because I've found the colour too bright happy and contrasty, but as I use my digital pands more and more, my images seem to be looking more and more the same.
		It may explain why I still prefer film.
		The light does feel a bit flat, but the detail is stunning: is it me or are all digital images going to look like this: just too perfect.

	Amazon.com: 2046: DVD: Chen Chang,Maggie Cheung,Jie Dong,Li Gong,Takuya Kimura,Carina Lau,Tony Leung Chiu Wai,Thongchai McIntyre,Ting Yip Ng,Ping Lam Siu,Wang Sum,Faye Wong,Ziyi Zhang
		The film's opening scene is reminiscent of Wong's masterpiece "Happy Together." A scene that captures the impersonal nature of cityscapes with lives intertwined but not really.
		2046 appears at first to be a year in the future, but is ultimately revealed to be the number of a hotel room where Chow had his one chance at happiness.
		He seduces her--it's shown in the film, prior to this, that he's a ladykiller--but is very clear about keeping his emotional distance from her.

	SF360:Features - From dream to screen, Tommy Pallotta on the re-animation of "A Scanner Darkly"
		The San Francisco Women's Film Festival, now in its second year, features works directed or co-directed by women....
		"['Scanner' is] an ensemble piece, and each person adds another element, and the camera is constantly moving." In addition, according to Pallotta, there was a general disregard for the animation stage while filming the live action, which didn't make it any easier for animators.
		As "A Scanner Darkly" finally makes its way to the big screen, the Dick estate is happy, Pallotta is happy that they're happy, and PKD himself would hopefully be happy as well.

		I liked the Aviator, there are plenty of great documentaries and indy films, and I was very happy for Charlie Kaufman (but why only one award for Eternal Sunshine, the best movie of the year?).

		Despite having films like Bushwhacked, Slam Bush and Partisan Jab: The New Dick Cheney, we really do try to be non-partisan here at AtomFilms.

	Amazon.co.uk: Red Planet [2000]: DVD
		As far as this film goes, I'm perfectly happy to understand that it would be possible to attempt to populate the surface of Mars with algae; I'm perfectly happy to believe that armed only with a screwdriver Astronaut Handyman Val Kilmer could chop up a 50 year old modem and make a working walkie-talkie.
		I think whenever we sit down to watch a Science-Fiction film, most of us are pretty happy to suspend belief in some factors for the sake of the plot.
		The reason that this film has been so misunderstood is that what is an allegory for spiritual alchemy has been mistaken for straight sci-fi.

	Amazon.com: Year My Voice Broke (1987) : Video
		The ending for the film is certainly not a happy one, but what is important is that it certainly rings true for all those of us who remember how it feels the first time you fall in love and she simply does not have a clue.
		"The Year My Voice Broke" is a touching coming-of-age film from Australia.
		I've watching "The year my voice broke" many times, yet I still find it a moving, satisfying experience, that leaves me feeling reflective even after the credits have finished.

		As Lisa Kudrow's film Happy Endings opens the London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival, she talks to Gareth McLean about sex, the state of US TV and a Phoebe comeback.
		Our cinemas seem of late to have been happy to explore one issue or another, but no films squared up to questions of public morality quite like the state-sponsored public information films of yore.

	Willamette Week Screen Review
		Rushmore is named for the posh prep-school academy that the film's main character, 15-year-old Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman), attends with an enthusiasm that borders on pathological.
		Without the film's two compelling leads, Rushmore just wouldn't be the film it is. Newcomer Schwartzman is the most unique teen actor ever to hit the screen, and he fills the movie with a geeky glory that never grows precious or tiresome.
		The 29-year-old director's second film (his first was the underrated Bottle Rocket, which he also wrote with Wilson), Rushmore is more than a movie.

	Bright Lights Film Journal 2046
		(Of course, “2046” has other resonances outside of this film: it was the number of Chow’s hotel room in In the Mood for Love; and it is the last year of the fifty-year period that China has guaranteed to leave Hong Kong unchanged.)
		Here, Chow’s character is at its most appealing in this film, as he misses out on his own chances for Christmas Eve “warmth” by taking up the opportunity to make Jingwen happy (encouraging her to phone her boyfriend in Japan) and getting his own happiness from that.
		Characteristically for Wong, the film’s major theme is spelt out quite explicitly late in the film in one of Chow’s voice-overs: “Love is all a matter of timing,” he says.

	Happy Days
		Happy days jumped when they went from film to video(3-4 year?) And sorry this show was set in the 50s (at the start) not the 60s.
		Happy Days was funny at first, but then they had to screw it up by adding the hyper-annoying Scott Baio as Chachi, then Ron Howard left, and you knew it was time to pull the plug.
		Happy Days jumped the shark when they went from film to video and used a studio audience.

	Review: Happy, Texas
		Happy, Texas may not be the funniest or most daring comedy of the year, but it is one of the most congenial.
		Every year at the Sundance Film Festival, there is at least one motion picture that sparks a bidding war.
		When they arrive in the small hamlet of Happy, Texas ("the town without a frown") in a stolen Winnebago, they are mistaken for the pair of gay beauty pageant consultants who have been hired to help the little girls of Happy win the 18th annual "Little Miss Fresh Squeezed" talent contest.

		The rollout is of the same quality this year, and while some big films are still under wraps (Steven Spielberg’s political thriller Munich for one), we’re happy to say that we’ve got a lot of them covered.
		These are the films that rate as first class Oscar bait, the kind that scoop the pool at the end of year awards ceremonies.
		Many of the films we’re seeing now are those from the American winter, a period when Hollywood’s studios (both major and minor) traditionally release their most prestige, pedigree, blue ribbon product.

	Happy Texas - VHS - Title H Shopping at dooyoo.co.uk
		Happy Texas Year: 1999 Certificate: 15 WEB: www.miramax.com If you were to ask most film fans what the movie "Happy Texas" was all about, the vast majority would no doubt be clueless.
		Happy Texas is one of those solid warm comedies that slips through the grinder unnoticed, hopefully someone will spot it and pop it on BBc2 before Channel (can an one get a picture what’s the point of it) Five.
		This is due to the fact that the film was released vastly under-publicised, with little or no backing and thus got no recognition or attention.

	ABS-CBN Interactive
		The film that was sold -- "Little Miss Sunshine" -- went for a hefty price, more than $10 million, which when all the contract details are known may surpass the festival's record film sale of $10.25 million spent for "Happy, Texas" in 1999.
		They say that the lack of acquisitions highlighted what many festival watchers expected: the 2006 film slate was much less mainstream than in recent years.

	Elijah Wood - Forever Young - Review
		Forever Young is the kind of movie my mother likes—sweet, good old fashioned story, cute kid, no one gets really injured, depression is rewarded with joy and a happy ending.
		What makes Forever Young endearing (and enduring as a classic) is Daniel’s search for an answer from a man who is dead for many years; and of course, his still undying love for Helen (Isabel Glasser) even with the presence of Claire Cooper (Jamie Lee Curtis) to add sexual tension.
		Not necessary to the plot, but central to Forever Young’s success is the then eleven year old Elijah Wood, who for one of the very few times in his seventeen year acting career, needs to play a kid.
