In time (2011)

In time (2011) At the dizzying pace that advances our society and with the remarkable evolution of cinema, after a century, it is normal that every time it costs more to surprise the viewer with what is called futurist views . Attempts vague as “Aeon Flux” could not approach the expectation that caused “Blade Runner” in the eighties. In my opinion, “In Time” has that special something that makes it work, that makes you believe in the film and shows refreshing and surprising . Of course, playing with the rules of Hollywood, but with elegance. I’m sure if the film had been Scorsese and DiCaprio starring status, critics have praised the film as a candidate by placing some kind of “Oscar”. Because deep down we have a story with similarities to “Origin”, but even more clear and direct (less intelligent perhaps). I leave you, as always, a brief synopsis: More on Amanda Seyfried Olivia Wilde “Set in a future society. The finding of an anti-aging formula brings not only overcrowded but also the transformation of time currency exchange that allows cover both luxuries as necessities. The rich can live forever, but others will to negotiate every minute of life, and the poor die young. After getting, by chance, a huge amount of time Will Chambers (Justin Timberlake), a young worker will be chased by cops known as “the guardians of time” . In his flight Will take a hostage (Amanda Seyfried), a young woman from a wealthy family. Critique of “Now where are we going?” The career of the Lebanese Nadine Labaki changed in 2006 when, after a handful of films in which he
participated as an actress, directs, writes and stars in Caramel . In it, a group of women offered a bucolic refuge and indigestion in the middle of a tense political and social, as if to prove that deep down, human beings can still some hope. Of course, we must tread carefully to avoid falling into the sheer glut of saccharin, and in this sense his debut was far from perfect. Maybe that’s why, in its new attempt in front and behind the cameras Labaki takes much of the motivation of that, trying to smooth and broaden the horizons of his speech and before easily extrapolated to different cultures and thoughts, but right now universalizable from the time they choose not to reveal the people that never stands the action. In short, Now where are we going? starts talking about a very difficult conflict resolution, and again to give their vote of confidence in the humanity of mankind (forgive the redundancy), which was supposed to come to light in such cases. And it’s still eminently syrupy recipe, but now we add some pepper to the mix, resulting in a sweeter dish but also to cause some sore embarrassment, feeding.Located in a very limited and connected to the rest of the world with a bridge almost impossible to access, a people living in a state of calm quickly broken because of the TV (why would it be?): Soon shear stresses emerge religious tricky them, and at the continuing deterioration in the minds of their husbands, the women there decide to take action on the matter, trying everything to calm the air again. And everything means, as a first step to bring in a group of exotic dancers from Eastern Europe, well ligerita of clothes, which are soon to revolutionize the roost like a cyclone pheromone is involved. Sure, it does not end there, but wise you will not need much more to understand the kind of movie that we face. And Nadine Labiki proposes that we take with good humor a specific problem (no longer a clash of ideology taken to its extreme as any) from the alleged carelessness of which flaunted do not know, Life is Beautiful or own Caramel , to cite two recent examples. Oh, and from the West, see and laugh and feel sorry for them at a time, and wonder how they may have reached these levels of social violence … Is it necessary to resort to that of the straw and the kettle black? Clearly, the Lebanese with focus on the surrounding society in general and also the main argument, he used to get (from a very healthy humor and nothing free) with certain customs and questions rather seem worthy of troglodytes; but would go wrong if indirect CAPTARE is auto transport throwing us each and every one of us. In fact, that Now where we cross borders to bring out what not only his style, rhythm, Bill and others, all but sealed, not just the fact that they never say where it happens, but changing a script as soon resorts to slapstick gags themselves (one of his players is the spitting image of John Belushi, of course), and adopts the personality of romantic comedies, and even occasional strip scenes to delight music lovers of Bollywood (!) . More on John Belushi Clear Throughout this machambrat , of course, not all filled. On more than one and two times, the script abused conventions, clichés that confuse sugar with saccharin and constantly remind us that, for many dramatic twists that can wait just around the corner, and very serious to hide his apparent slightly, we are seeing a fiction film. But, hey, that so was so excessive in Slumdog Millionaire , and there it is. By the way, made ​​unfair comparisons and all outputs mother that concerns us the answer may well be the Middle East to Danny Boyle, in that as in that, Now where are we going? has the ability to transport the viewer to another place, speaking of the problems that plague, and yet make a trip seems almost bucolic, exotic and highly rewarding … Only here everything comes more naturally, and that allows you to enjoy and retraining in the same proportion. Until recently glimpsed those dramatic moments, strategically inserted to say that we can laugh always a reminder of the seriousness of the matter, quietly curdle. Well truth is that all these, time is very gracious, and soon to start thinking about it and resize it, you can end up losing some integer. But nobody can deny the wonderful experience that is your vision, you have to enter And now where we’re willing to be surprised and let go … and from this perspective, it works like a charm. ¿Meager argument? Well, how many times have you said that sometimes, what matters from a trip is the journey itself. 8 / 10 By Carlos Giacomelli Little Red Riding Hood ‘, the girl salidorra, suitors boring memos and wolf- ‘But this was not a horror movie?’ Said the person who was next to Snake Little Red Riding Hood know or should know, like that little girl who is so rampant in the woods and a wolf (supposedly vicious) makes life miserable for piling her and her beloved grandmother. Thanks to a hunter ended up being happy and all eat quail. As mandated by the standards of the time. It is true that this story has been changing as the years have progressed, in fact almost all the classics were taught as kids we have. Even Walt Disney movies that premiered in the cinemas were converted to be sweeter and more accessible to young audiences. Although often made ​​to mourn over a generation (see the famous death of Bambi’s mother) and therefore has been criticized as being a somewhat Machiavellian character. I mean, Disney obviously. Inexplicably, there are principals who continue to work even showing their work in the direction still leaves much to be desired. Catherine Hardwicke directed Twilight was a huge success at the box office and created (although it had in the fictionalized version) a legion of followers-mostly-impetérritas. Evidently, a chimpanzee could have done that would have won anyway. Hence the success you can not give Hardwicke, but rather to the base of the film. I will not go into the light of the Vampires saga, werewolves with chocolate bar and guts teen perpetual pain, but it is true that Red Riding Hood the director wants to play with the same elements and gets shot by the stock. And if Bella, Jacob and Edward can have some charisma, for those who want to see it and have altered hormones and mop-hand, which we are concerned are truly pathetic. Amanda Seyfried, which can and has offered better performances, is a bust where the constant concern, enlarged eyes (which already has them actress) and a facial grimace similar to the aforementioned Bella, if you do not ask if you followed some instructions from the director for the wake of the Twilight saga was present. Youngsters off dullness on all four sides, there is a moment where you think the ‘love’ or the love triangle that forms between the penniless blacksmith, who is wealthy and Valerie (Seyfried-Riding Hood). It is all the more fake, prefabricated and predictable backing down from the first quarter hour. More on Walt Disney Amanda Seyfried Francisco Rabal Disney Of course, the presence of Gary Oldman , eccentric as in ninety-nine percent of his films, and fans of Virginia Madsen, among whom I meet, perhaps make them more enjoyable the footage . Worst of all is that in general the film could have been much, much better. Not one that was marked as Coppolla Dracula (where there can not be removed), but a horror-suspense film pretty decent and not turning your head to remember. The plot is more false than you can imagine. Because one thing is clear at this time, the more you teach someone as a suspect, never will be. It serves here as in any film. Suspicion always the least suspicious, especially when the script does not give to much and want to make a turn at the last moment for people to say “Ohhhhhhhh, it surprised me! ‘. Nothing, as you are a bit clever you can imagine the end in advance, so what you see you care less and less. Finally this remarkable setting (I recognize that it is, but missed) diluted in a bodorrio just unbearable and shameful in not a few moments. By the way, and finally, voicing a Werewolf as ridiculous as I found when I heard the voice of Francisco Rabal in the skin of Dragonheart Dragon. These things can only be used rarely and at certain times, otherwise you run the risk that the public (so, yo) between laughter you suddenly. And that, I do not think that is what he was looking at this type of movie. The terror of ‘The Cabin in the Woods’: fantastic first trailer Some alliances are bound to succeed and others, from its inception, is doomed to failure. It is usually a marketing showcase for discovering whether or not an appropriate strategy, pulling stale resource exposing headlines in the trailer type ‘ producers ‘or’ the writer of ‘or’ director ‘to carry more customers to the movies. The first trailer for ‘The Cabin in the Woods ” also makes use of the above resources, but in doing so discover a curious alliance behind the scenes. Neither more nor less than the screenwriter of “Cloverfield (Cloverfield) ‘ , Drew Goddard , rookie on the couch in the direction in addition to the production of writer-producer-director Joss Whedon , currently engaged in ‘The Avengers’ . But what is even more impressive of the equation is that ‘The Cabin in the Woods’ , which also comes with the claim and seal air to breathe new genre of terror, it opens with just over two years behind billboard from his shooting , at least that’s the claim of Lionsgate Films for the month of April. With familiar faces (being asked Elsa Pataky if he knew two years ago to her current husband Chris Thor Hemsworth ) and others to discover, it seems that what really matters in this story is a cabin in the woods. More on Joss Whedon Elsa Pataky Chris Hemsworth Bradley Whitford Amy Acker It may seem a typical film about close friends who travel in a ramshackle caravan to spend a few pleasant and quiet days in a modest cottage in the middle of nowhere in the mountains … to begin to happen then the most convulsive and bloody disgrace … but may have much more than that. Involving the aforementioned Chris Hemsworth (before rolling ‘Thor’ ), Bradley Whitford , Kristen Connolly , Brian J. White , Amy Acker , Fran Kranz , Jesse Williams and Richard Jenkins . See the first trailer, really intriguing and inviting, after the jump. The villain of Star Trek 2 will be a Mexican Mafia JJ Edgar Ramirez wants to do an audition Mola Jordí After confirmation that Benicio del Toro is NOT trekkie Khan in the sequel, from Variety and venture to give the two names being considered to play the villain in the film : Edgar Ramirez , star of the miniseries imperative Carlos, and our Jordí Molla , who has spent years repeating the role of Latin encocado capo up to their eyeballs in several productions hollywodienses ( Blow, Colombian, Bad Boys 2 …). More on Edgar Ramirez Ricardo Montalban Jordi Mollà That the villain is Khan is not confirmed and even JJ Abrams has recently clue pointing in another direction, but it is certain that Edgar Ramirez and Jordi Molla are auditioning for the role would be much of a coincidence that both are Hispanic and the actor who played Khan in the past, Ricardo Montalban. I said, or Khan or South American drug lord. Anyway, that Moll is orbiting in a project like this is proof that the effort can be rewarding even when not accompanied by too much talent. We are happy for him, though not so much by fans of the franchise … Bridget Jones 3 will feature the three protagonists Earlier this year it was confirmed that the writer Helen Fielding had started writing a third book based on the adventures and misadventures of Bridget Jones, who in the world of film earned Zellweger her first Oscar nomination for the first film, ‘ Bridget Jones’s Diary ‘. Then came the sequel, Bridget Jones: The Edge ‘, and certainly now in this third case of a pregnancy on the protagonist. Now these days it was known that Bridget Jones 3 , apart from the star Renee, will also have Colin Firth and Hugh Grant . More on Bridget Jones
Renée Zellweger Colin Firth Hugh Grant Related News The arrival of ‘Bridget Jones 3′ gets official Paul Feig, director ¿the third part of “Bridget Jones’s Diary”? Literary Miscellany: no female literary life beyond Bridget Jones Not that you know much more about the film is expected expected to begin the shooting early next 2012 . The script will be provided by the author herself, by Paul Feig and David Nicholls. What is clear is that large doses of humor come, after all, Bridget Jones is a comedy fun for a good while and if we have the rest of the cast will be a full movie. Harry Morgan has died, Colonel Potter series ‘Mash’ Globally known for his role as Col. Potter in the series ‘Mash’ Harry Morgan has died . The popular series was the most important role of his career and won him an Emmy in 1980 thanks to the dry humor and sharp replies of his character. He got ten other award nominations for his supporting role. The late actor commented on the popular character who became an icon of American society that “was a strong type ‘. “It was a good officer and had a good sense of humor. I think it’s best role of my career. I loved playing Colonel Potter, “he added. More on John Wayne The final chapter of the series lasted for 27 years as the most watched television in the U.S., more specifically by CBS between 1972 and 1983. Yet Morgan starred in several films , most secondary , among which ‘The clock murderer’, ‘All My Sons, “” Inherit the Wind’, ‘The conquest of the West’, ‘Frankie and Johnny’ or ‘The Shootist’, the latest film by John Wayne. The Conspiracy. Lincoln’s murderers to trial After years of war between the North and South, on the night of April 15, 1865 President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, is killed by a shot to the head in the box at the Ford Theater by John Wilkes Booth, and gradually suspects are detained or killed, as Booth himself, later to be judged, among those arrested was Mary Surratt, the owner of a boardinghouse where the conspirators met since her son, John, was one of them. Frederick Aiken, a decorated captain of the northern army, now an attorney, assistant to Senator Johnson, is responsible for the defense of Surratt, going against their own principles, but whose duty as defense counsel from pursuing him. Robert Redford directs, with great master, the reconstruction of mixing time trial of the conspiracy and subsequent research, to really understand the reality of what happened at this historic moment, as important and dramatic in the history of the United States. James McAvoy plays the lawyer who goes against his principles, Tom Wilkinson is his superior, Kevin Kline and Danny Huston Edwin Stanton is the prosecutor Joseph Holt, all of them, like the secondary, do an excellent job, and one of the Kline is more surprising is that out of his usual humorous roles, and away from its reputation as the early nineties, we see him reborn in this role of historical importance. Meanwhile, Huston and Wilkinson, who participated in the mini-series John Adams , they do excellently, but secondary. A film that will impressive history of historical genre, you’ll leave impressed and breathless, despite its slow pace, because a film about a trial can not be very fast. On the other hand, it is important to know that the film manages to show the differences between the two sides shortly after the war, leaving it clear that they were not bad and good, but there were many points in between.

New poster for “American Reunion” Sincerity: as it is not clear yet how it will be called the next installment of American Pie in Spain I decided to put on the heads this news headline number for the delivery. Okay, really: I have no fucking idea. I knew at some point in history, but not anymore, so I deleted my mental hard disk. Then, deeper into the body of the story I learned that the fourth and came around to my head: they are already talluditos, still hot and stick Churrero only now with kids involved. So peliagudez: children, piglets. Ay. Ah, yes, there was even a trailer viscously funny. I recall that it contained a sock and the face of the son of Jason Biggs.
