	FilmJerk.com - Film Review: "Gothika" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Kassovitz is a sleek stylist, and the opening scenes of the film display the filmmaker trying to build dread and creepiness efficiently: playing with sudden stops in the soundtrack, milking the supernatural elements of the tale, and making the asylum as big a character as Miranda.
		But the first half of the film is built on the fascinating war between the unknown vs. clinical mind, with the second half giving way to gigantic holes in the plot and clownshoes screenwriting just to simply wheeze its way to the safety of a suspense or action sequence.
		Whatever potential the film had to start with is a distant memory as the picture ends up promising, or should I say threatening, a future franchise for the ghost busting Miranda.

	FILM REVIEW -- Rise, Descent of a Bombshell / Engaging portrait reveals bitter side of Carmen Miranda's life
		Miranda, who died in 1955 at age 46 from a heart attack only hours after appearing on Jimmy Durante's television show, was a native of Portugal who was discovered at age 20 by RCA Victor in Brazil, where she lived with her immigrant family.
		Famous for lavish banana-laden turbans (a style borrowed from the poor women of Bahia), grinding dance numbers and a bare-midriff look, she was the reigning symbol of the fiery Latin American female in the mid- 1940s, when she was ``imported'' to the United States and soon commanded one of the highest salaries in Hollywood.
		The film uses rare archival footage (some showing Brazil awash with dapper European fashions and swaying with tango and samba rhythms), interviews with the star's family and friends and scenes from clips in which actors portray Miranda.

	Sleepy Hollow (1999): Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci, Miranda Richardson, Michael Gambon - PopMatters Film Review
		The gore is not that which one normally finds on sets which evoke Universal films of the 30s (and Hammer films of the 50s and 60s though Hammer films have their share of gore).
		As he has done with the Batman films, Burton is not doing an adaption of Irving's classic tale, he is playing with it, and depending on the audience's partial awareness of the text.
		And not only is the film released too late for Halloween, it also misses the Horror film remake bonanza of a few years ago.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Carmen Miranda
		The "lady in the tutti-fruitti hat" brought to American wartime audiences an extravagantly seductive surface: the exoticism of South America, a sensuality tempered by caricature, and outlandish costumes and fruit-laden "hats" that have an unsuspected origin in the fl slums of Brazil.
		Carmen Miranda's story is far more complex and heart-wrenching than one would expect of a woman who flashed to prominence in Hollywood in the early 1940s and ended up fixed forever in the public mind as the inspiration for Chiquita Banana and for countless drag queen revues.
		Some viewers will be surprised to learn that she was a huge recording and film star in Brazil long before she arrived in the U.S. Though middle-class herself, she was in fact a pioneer of the fl slum music known as samba.

	Emanuel Levy : Film Comment - Interview with Triple Threat Miranda July
		This movie was inspired by the longing I carried around as a child, longing for the future, for someone to find me, for magic to descend upon my life and transform everything.
		In the film, Richard could have this really romantic thing happen when Christine gets into the car with him, but instead he kicks her out.
		Most of the score is made on what Mike Andrews, the composer, calls "democratic instruments." These are instruments that anyone could play; Casio keyboards, vocoder, drum machine, etc. And by not using a midi sequencer we benefited from all the ‘accidents' of performance.

		The tribute to the legendary Miranda, the first by a lesbian and gay film festival, was an astute programming choice: Miranda's fluttering hands, campy strut and fruits galore were celebrated by the Italian press with considerable coverage and by the audience (both male and female) with packed screenings.
		Imagine attending a lesbian and gay film festival where more than half of the films and videos shown were not in your language (This is the case in Turin, where many of the films are in English, German, etc.).
		The picture of Italian gay film is more chiarascuro than dark; the monumental growth of the Italian gay movement over the last 10 years has fostered the growth of queer film and video.

	MIRANDA - DVD
		There was a time (from the late-'70s to the late-'80s) that the UK cranked out tart, intelligent films that put their American counterparts to shame.
		Miranda (Christina Ricci) is a sultry American who waits and waits inside the library for reasons unknown; though Frank's breathless voiceover indicates that he's smitten ("And there she was!
		Frank is the lovable hangdog who serves as doppelganger to all dumb male writers, noble in his pursuit of a trophy girlfriend and "in love" to make it all seem acceptable; Miranda is the girl he has to "figure out," since she obviously can't be counted on to do it by herself.

		Josie Lawrence and Miranda Richardson play a pair of unhappily married women who rent an Italian villa for a month, sharing the rent with a crusty Englishwoman (Joan Plowright) and a lonely aristocrat (Polly Walker).
		Rose is played by Miranda Richardson in a performance that suggests, if anything, that she has had her happiness even more suppressed than Lottie.
		All four women in this film are badly in need of change (although one is too obstinate to realize that she needs change) and finally find themselves going through a magical transformation when they share an Italian villa named San Salvitore for a few weeks in April.

	Spider (2002): Ralph Fiennes, Miranda Richardson, Gabriel Byrne - PopMatters Film Review
		The film, adapted by Patrick McGrath from his own novel, is full of such shifts in time.
		Spider dislikes the slatternly Yvonne, a response exacerbated when he imagines his father's visit to her apartment to work on her "pipes." Here, as the film's interiors become increasingly muted and depressed, characters' behaviors are increasingly extreme: Bill and Yvonne begin having sex in the street and carousing.
		This refinement is partly a function of the film's deliberate delicacy of imagery and performances, from Fiennes' singular focus to Richardson's subtle multiplicity.

	Carmen Miranda Discography - Slipcue.com Brazilian Music Guide
		This disc highlights Miranda's early years in Brazil, where in the 1930s, she was a major samba star.
		The film is full of truly awful stereotypes -- latin lotharios, lazy cab drivers, pompous petty officials, etc. -- but Carmen gets treated with respect, shown as the glamourous Brazilian superstar she was, and it's really her own band backing her up, so the sambas are for real.
		This was Aurora's biggest Hollywood role; she apparently only made films in the USA for about a year (and presumably returned to Brasil not long after than that...) A fine film noir, well worth checking out.
