THE ROOKIE (2002) - WIDESCREEN DVD The film's eye-popping 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen DVD transfer is flawless to the naked eye but not so perfect as to appear inorganic--detail has not been overenhanced, nor is the saturation digitally aggressive. Cinematographer John Schwartzman shoots films with a vibrancy rarely seen since the halcyon days of MGM musicals and CinemaScope epics; I'm not sure if the same old-fashioned Technicolor process he used for Pearl Harbor was applied to The Rookie, but it looks that way on DVD. The purpose of the film is to present a family entertainment (The Rookie is rated G) redolent with veritable music videos (there are no fewer than two) and panoramic vistas that sentimentalize and mythologize baseball (again). filmfreakcentral.net /dvdreviews/rookie2002.htm   (837 words)

Equilibrium (2002) Even more bizarre is the film's attempts to graft this by-the-numbers Dystopian story onto modern martial arts stylistics a la The Matrix (1999). The scenes of Christian Bale's eye-opening to the forbidden way of life are sentimental clichés - crushing his drugs underfoot in the midst of a rally, tearing the covering on his window open so that he can see daylight and rain, one of his victims dying in his arms, finding a snowglobe. The film even borrows the Voigt-Kampf empathy test from Blade Runner (1982) at one point. www.moria.co.nz /sf/equilibrium.htm   (546 words)

Film: The Bourne Identity We're easily seduced by that Hitchcockian promise that in the blink of an eye we can be in the middle of a dangerous but fabulously exciting conspiracy. "There are all kinds of interesting threads running through The Bourne Identity which distinguish it from most recent films of its type. Since then, we've been to galaxies far, far away and back in time to mix it with hobbits and wizards. sunday.ninemsn.com.au /sunday/film_reviews/article_1146.asp?MSID=2d5ca1c63b594cdf9b0ea2a868015bc8   (836 words)

The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) This film's bravado comes from the transformation of the naïve Dantes, who cowers in his jail cell for several years, to the confident, strong, revenge-driven and mysterious Count of Monte Cristo. Mondego also has his eye on the beautiful Mercedes. Overall, The Count of Monte Cristo is good fun in a "rah-rah" way, and, by coming in at less than two hours, very succinct. www.dvdtohome.co.uk /review/MonteCristo.html   (721 words)

Kinoeye Roman Polanski, The Pianist & the victim's double vision Tracing Polanski's work from the 1960s to his latest film, The Pianist (2002), Gordana P Crnković examines how the director's focus on body parts has mirrored an interest in the victim's double vision and urged positive action over fatal passivity and misplaced deeds. Following archival footage of Warsaw in 1939, the close-up shot of hands playing a piano begins Polanski's latest film The Pianist (2002), and a similar close-up shot of hands playing a piano ends the film. Polanski's comments on The Pianist are taken from a documentary on the making of this film, which accompanies the feature on the DVD release. www.kinoeye.org /04/05/crnkovic05.php   (8550 words)

News for The Pianist (2002) The Pianist film-maker is unable to attend the libel action hearing at the Court of Appeal as he could be extradited to the US, from where he fled in 1977 after being convicted of statutory rape. Roman Polanski's The Pianist, based on the Holocaust memoir of Polish pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman, is yet another film certain to be considered for Oscars. The Paramount film starring Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey took in $23.8 million, easily beating the second-place film, Disney's Shanghai Knights, which earned $19.6 million. indie.imdb.com /TNews?0253474   (8061 words)

Kinoeye Brussels Festival of Fantasy, Thriller & Sci-Fi Film Marc Evans' My Little Eye (2002) is a rather intense film that can be seen as updating the documentary feeling of The Blair Witch Project (1999) by tackling the reality-TV phenomenon. The Filmax Group also set in motion a second label, Fantastic Discovery, which is dedicated to first efforts in the genre: Jaume Balagueró's Los sin nombre (The Nameless, 1999), which won several awards, and Paco Plaza's El Segundo nombre (Second Name, 2002). These films were not necessarily good, but they were at least refreshing since, for most of the directors, the use and manipulation of horror elements was far from being their only aim. www.kinoeye.org /03/10/lafond10.php   (2803 words)

Dark Water (2005) This success has not been unnoticed in Hollywood and has led to a spate of English-language remakes of Japanese horror films, which has so far included the likes of The Ring (2002), The Grudge (2004) and with remakes of One Missed Call (2003) and the Thai The Eye (2002) also having been announced. While the build-up is fine, alas the film goes and completely blows it at the ending. Roosevelt Island - which incidentally is a real location, not one made up for the film - looks impressively grey and depressing. www.moria.co.nz /horror/darkwater05.htm   (738 words)

Midnight Eye review: Perfect Blue - Yume Nara Samete (2002) In the end analysis, it almost seems perverse that a cartoon treatment of the same source material should not only contain a great deal more tit and ass than the sex film director's (with nary a bare breast in sight, for those wondering), but also prove to be more cinematic, dramatic and emotionally charged. It's an aspect which Sato's film, scripted by Masahiro Kobayashi, might have done well to consider. I think it's fair to say that those expecting Perfect Blue: Take 2 are going to be mightily disappointed with this new version. www.midnighteye.com /reviews/perfbyns.shtml   (290 words)

IndiePix.net - The Eye IndiePix price: US THE EYE, directed by twin brothers Danny and Oxide Pang, is a Chinese/Thai horror film that focuses on Mun (Sin-je Lee), a cornea-transplant recipient who has been blind most of her life. Featuring scenes that will make all viewers wary of elevators, hospital recovery wards, and calligraphy, this film offers truly startling moments that will linger in the mind's eye for a long time. Drawing on the visual language of recent Japanese films such as RING and PULSE, as well as Hollywood films THE SIXTH SENSE and STIR OF ECHOES, this chilling tale implies more than it reveals, building a deep sense of dread, even from the opening credits. www.indiepix.net /film/film.pl?film=578   (290 words)

The DVD Journal Quick Reviews: CQ: Special Edition Director Roman Coppola, who also wrote the screenplay for CQ, has crafted some pleasing eye candy, affectionately embracing funky retro kitsch without lampooning it, capturing a strong feeling of time and place through mood and music, and striking a strong note of empathy with an incredibly appealing young cast full of charisma and extraordinary physicality. Jeremy Davies stars in CQ (2002) as Paul, a young American film editor cutting a low-budget, sexy, Mario Bava-esque sci-fi flick in 1969 Paris. But with his personal life split between dysfunction, pretense, and flights of fantasy, the neophyte director struggles for inspiration both within the film's suffocating artifice and without. www.dvdjournal.com /quickreviews/c/cq.q.shtml   (290 words)

Preview Magazine - Spring 2004 - Hollywood Notes When it went out in the cinemas in 2001, the movie was seen by 10.5 million people, with another million or so turning up when it was re-released to celebrate its first birthday in the summer of 2002. The film in question, it will come as no surprise to observers of the German scene to learn, was the monster local hit Der Schuh des Manitu (Manitou’s Shoe), an amiable spoof western directed by and starring popular comedian Michael ‘Bully’ Herbig. The sole sad note in the whole shining success story which is Der Schuh des Manitu is that Bully’s film has not managed to make even the shallowest footprint anywhere outside the German-speaking world. www.preview-online.com /sp2004/hollywood_notes/page4.html   (1016 words)

Tobey Online Past News-October 2002 The filming was scheduled for the brief off-season at the track, between the Oak Tree fall racing meet that concludes Nov. 3 and the winter-spring season that begins Dec. 26, Zanville said. The film is adapted from Laura Hillenbrand's novel, "Seabiscuit: An American Legend." The horse was a grandson of Man o'War and in 1938 he beat Triple Crown winner War Admiral, Man o'War's son, at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore. The way Hillenbrand writes it, Seabiscuit's story was destined for the silver screen: His main rider was a jockey who was blind in one eye, his trainer was a mustang breaker, and his owner, Charles Howard, an automobile magnate. www.tobeyonline.com /oct02news.html   (5181 words)

Polish culture: "Zemsta" / "Revenge". A film directed by Andrzej Wajda, 2002 Agata Buzek appears in the film as Klara, with Rafal Krolikowski as her love interest Waclaw and Katarzyna Figura as the Podstolina. The film features some of Poland's best actors, including Janusz Gajos as Cupbearer Raptusiewicz and Andrzej Seweryn as Regent Milczek. After all, it is a gesture that may be turned to dust by these same characters in the blink of an eye, when their Polish characters once again strip reason of control." www.culture.pl /en/culture/artykuly/dz_zemsta_wajda   (555 words)

CBC.ca - Arts - Film - Meeting Evil In Downfall, she is simply bewildered, a war film ingenue in the eye of the storm. Downfall is book-ended by short samples of footage from the marvelous documentary Blind Spot, showing the real Junge (who died in 2002) in her 80s as an attractive older woman still bewildered by her complicity. Hitler, in the German film Downfall, is a small man, reeking of illness, with a quivering, palsied claw that he keeps tucked behind his back. www.cbc.ca /arts/film/meetingevil.html   (1242 words)

Brosnan in Bond 'body blow' - Film - Entertainment - theage.com.au Brosnan first played the world's most famous spy in 1995's Golden Eye, the first Bond film to be made after a six-year pause, and reprised the role in Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), The World Is Not Enough (1999) and in 2002's Die Another Day. Despite being baffled and disappointed over the decision to axe him from the 43-year-old film series, Brosnan said he would still be happy to play the agent with a licence to kill one last time if asked to do so.

eye - Morning glory - 05.01.03 The first time I saw My Morning Jacket, those "five crazy hippies from Kentucky" (as they were still ineptly described) were headlining the small Darla label showcase at SXSW in March, 2002. The room was packed, Dave Doughman (frontman for beautiful guitar-noise-exploding duo Swearing at Motorists) was working the sound, and as the line snaked down the street, you really couldn't see the band; you couldn't find them behind their hair. On that Wednesday night, My Morning Jacket were playing the last slot and it was hard to find them. www.eye.net /eye/issue/issue_05.01.03/music/mymorningjacket.html   (421 words)

Little Dorrit's Story The first half of the film is dark and bleak, people are seen suffering a miserable existence and you do have to wade through a rather pessimistic view of life; but in the second half of the film we see a differing view of life. I purchased this adaption of Little Dorrit several years ago on laserdisc and I enjoyed it, but I found that to fully appreciate this film it was necessary to watch it to the end. The most jarring thing about this part is the insistence of recreating most of part one scene for scene (only this time through the eyes of Little Dorrit). www.elipsiselectronics.com /6301383869/Little_Dorrits_Story.html   (421 words)

Erich Wolfgang KORNGOLD Captain Blood: Film Music on the Web CD Reviews July 2002 Firstly because it is so good and because Film Music on the Web was just a twinkle in the eye when it came out so we missed it -- and because, quite honestly, it shames so many of today's lacklustre swashbuckler scores. (The film was set in the time of Charles II of England.) The music, though, is racy enough with plenty of swagger and pomp together with Rózsa's typically broad romantic melodies. Erich Wolfgang Korngold is represented by his score for the film that made Errol Flynn famous – Captain Blood. www.musicweb-international.com /film/2002/Jul02/Captain_Blood.html   (573 words)

Filmmaker Magazine Web Articles: INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ROTTERDAM 2002 Its sure pace and eye for detail marked it as one of the strongest films yet from Argentina's recent neo-realist wave, a wave that, as several Argentine directors in Rotterdam proclaimed, could be at an end thanks to that country's recent economic collapse. It's not just any film festival that ends its awards ceremonies with a jury chair and world-reknowned filmmaker serenading the audience with impromptu Taiwanese karaoke, but that's exactly how the International Film Festival Rotterdam brought its 2002 edition to a close. No Rotterdam article would be complete, of course, without mention of the Japanese kino-bomb Takashi Miike, and this year's wrap-up would be incomplete without discussing the four Miike films (out of seven completed in the last year) shown at the festival. www.filmmakermagazine.com /archives/online_features/rotterdam_2002.php   (1245 words)

The SF Site: In Memoriam 2002 Although most of his work was in the western genre, de Toth, who lost an eye and his depth perception as a child, was best known for the film "House of Wax," made in 3-D, which spurred the 3-D craze of the 1950s. Juran directed numerous science fiction television shows and films including "The Time Tunnel," "The Land of the Giants," "First Men in the Moon," "The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad," and "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman," the last using the name Nathan Hertz. His most recent credit at Disney was as a clean-up artist on the film "The Little Mermaid." www.sfsite.com /columns/steven144.htm   (1245 words)
