The Hurt Locker (9/10)

February 7th 2010 23:15
The Hurt Locker, winner of the 2008 Venice Film Festival SIGNIS Grand Prize, is a riveting and suspenseful portrait of the elite members of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) squad, soldiers who volunteer to challenge the odds and save lives in one of the world's most dangerous jobs. Three EOD members battle insurgents and each other as they seek out and disarm deadly bombs in a thrilling race against time. A heart-pounding, edge-of-your-seat look at the effects of combat and danger on the human psyche, The Hurt Locker, meaning a place of ultimate pain, is based on the first-hand observations of journalist and screenwriter Mark Boal, who was embedded with a special bomb unit in Iraq. It is a gripping portrayal of real-life sacrifice and heroism and a layered, probing study of the soul-numbing rigors and potent allure of the modern battlefield.

The Hurt Locker, Kathryn Bigelow, Jeremy Renner


This is by far the best film made showing soldiers in Iraq and is quite possibly the best war movie I have ever seen. It is intense, passionate, incredibly shot, personal, deep and a film that will capture you in the first five minutes and leave you wanting more by the end.

The Hurt Locker, Kathryn Bigelow, Jeremy Renner


This film is so good for this year's Oscars it is going head to head with director Kathryn Bigelow's ex husband's film that you may have heard of - it is called Avatar and James Cameron is Kathryn Bigelow's ex husband. This film is going purely on it's credibility and brilliance in production and story. It has only made less than $20MIL worldwide while Cameron's Avatar is well over $600MIL and is now the highest grossing film of all time (on unadjusted figures). But when it comes to the Oscar's $$ amounts are not voted on and it is based purely on critical votes from members of the Academy and they deemed this film so good it has garnered an equal nine nominations with Avatar.

My predictions on the Oscar's between the two will be pretty close.

* I can see Avatar taking out best picture but it will be damn close.
* I would be very pleased to see Jeremy Renner win best actor, and considering no one got nomiated in acting for Avatar it's win win for Hurt Locker for already being nominated.
* James Cameron has to recieve the best director - The Hurt Locker is brilliant but Cameron has revolutionalised film making and the box office.
* Best Original Screenplay will go to Mark Boal for The Hurt Locker.
* Avatar for Best Art Direction.
* Best Cinematography for The Hurt Locker.
* Best Editing to Avatar.
* Best Score to The Hurt Locker and not Avatar, although Up could beat them both.
* Best Sound Editing to The Hurt Locker.
* Best Sound Mixing to Avatar.
* Best Visual Effects - hands down Avatar.

Score - 6 to Avatar and 5 to The Hurt Locker - not too shabby in my opinion. But back to the review.

The Hurt Locker, Kathryn Bigelow, Jeremy Renner


Jeremy Renner is just brilliant in this film. He is so internally driven and living his character he is chilling. No one can fugure him out in the film and a lot of people will find it hard to understand his drive from the cinema. To him the poster rings true - war is like a drug. We all live our mundane lives with nothing really propelling us forward except maybe our next holiday or the need for money or the love of our children. But when analised this is all quite boring and Matrix like - are we living the life or living the dream. Are we actually awake in the real world or dreaming it - to Staff Sergeant William James (Jeremy Renner) he is only alive when faced with possible demise. His new team are shocked by what seems like his reckless disregard for military protocol and basic safety measures. And yet, in war, appearances are never reliable for long. Is James really a cowboy who lives for an adrenaline rush and the moments when the margin of error is zero or is he a consummate professional who has honed his esoteric craft to high-wire precision.

When you first meet Staff Sergeant William James you won't like him, you have already met his team from the start and you know what happens when the shit hits the fan in a bad way, it is like Staff Sergeant William James does everything wrong and you assume pending disaster but he is an enigma and his different methods are what save the team numerous times. This guy is GI Joe of bomb squad but realistic.

The Hurt Locker, Kathryn Bigelow, Jeremy Renner


Kathryn Bigelow has created her opus, from making action films Point Break, weird end of the millenium film Strange Days, to crap films like Blue Steel and K:19 has had an alligning of the planets and skillset in this film and made a film that is unparalleled in this genre. It has a bleak and grey looking canvas of the Iraqi desserts and towns and this adds to the sense of despair. Why on earth these soldiers are even there we will never know - oh ok - oil But seriously - the EOD's are only there because the bombs are being planted to stop the US from being there - remove the US and no need for bombs in the streets. I know there is more to it than that but when you break it down......

The Hurt Locker, Kathryn Bigelow, Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, Brian Geraghty


Bigelow's use of hand held cameras and docco styled shooting plant you in the streets next to the characters, the opening 8 minutes of the film will set you up for one of the best experiences there is. The use of slow mo and attention to detail is what gives this film its soul and intense realism. I have included below, after the trailer the first 8minutes of this film so you can experience the brilliance of the cinematography and decide from this whether this film is for you.

The Hurt Locker, Kathryn Bigelow, Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, Brian Geraghty


The film also has some exceptional small parts acted by Guy Pearce and Ralph Fiennes and we should not forget the strong supports of Anthony Mackie and Brian Geraghty. I felt the pain of the entire war through watching Geraghty and the life shattering things he has to be a party to and/ or witness. The internal struggle the two supports have is an important strength of this film. What lengths would you go to to ensure your own butt stays safe?

The Hurt Locker, Kathryn Bigelow, Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, Brian Geraghty


Watch this film for brilliant cinematography and an overdue unpretentious masterwork from one of Hollywood's best female directors. The Hurt Locker certainly honors heroic bomb disposal squads, but it doesn't prove that the Iraq War is futile. Instead, as retired Master EOD Tech Jim O'Neil said, it proves that "sometimes the news isn't the bomb. Sometimes the news is the silence." Out now in the US and releasing in Australia on Feb 18th. MUST WATCH!!!



The first 8mins of the film is below:

Sex Sells: The Astronomical Rise of Taylor Lautner

February 7th 2010 03:43
If you don't know who Taylor Lautner is by now you live in Antarctica or have not seen popular culture in the last year. Taylor Lautner is the latest uberspunk from the Twilight series who plays Jacob.

Taylor Lautner, Twilight, Max Steel, Stretch Armstrong, Pictures


This one pic (above) and the film it was taken from, added with Taylor's dedication to increasing his body size to perfection to secure his part have skyrocketed this hottie into the Hollywood A List. After the first Twilight film directors were not going to hire Taylor for the second film because his character is incredibly buff and a werewolf to boot. Taylor, so keen to stay in the franchise took on a workout schedule that would kill most of us and secured his role. Then the international sensation begun. That body and that face are now household known, teenage idols, gay icons and wanted in every film coming out in the next few years. He is so bankable from his man meat that he is now the highest paid teenage actor in the world, out earning Zac Efron who has multiple film roles to his name and basically supported Disney for a couple of years. It would not surprise that Taylor will earn more money from the remaining Twilight films than his costars and he is not even the lead. The worst part is, he is not really a great actor. But I have faith.

Taylor Lautner, Twilight, Max Steel, Stretch Armstrong, Pictures


Born on February 11th, 1992 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Taylor Daniel Lautner has shown he was destined for a successful life from a very young age. He began studying karate at the age of six, training at Fabiano's Karate School, and by the following year, he was already winning tournaments. He was soon invited to train with seven-time world karate champion Mike Chat and, when he was eight, he was asked to represent his country in the twelve years and under division in the World Karate Association where he proved himself by becoming the Junior World Forms and Weapons champion, winning three gold medals. He continued to flourish in the martial arts circuit; in 2003, at only eleven years old, he was ranked number one in the world for NASKA's Black Belt Open Forms, Musical Weapons, Traditional Weapons and Traditional Forms and and, by the age of twelve, he had three Junior World Championships under his "black belt".

Taylor Lautner, Twilight, Max Steel, Stretch Armstrong, Pictures


However, in addition to his love for karate, Taylor was bitten by the acting bug when he was seven years old, after his martial arts instructor persuaded him to audition for a part in a Burger King advert in Los Angeles. Although he was unsuccessful, he enjoyed the experience so much that he told his parents he wanted to pursue a career in acting. Soon, he and his family were traveling back-and-forth from their home in Michigan to California so Taylor could audition for acting roles on a regular basis. When he was ten, with the frequent traveling and air fares starting to drain them out, his family made the hard decision to relocate to Los Angeles where Taylor would have the advantage of being able to audition on a full-time basis. Although it was a wrench to leave behind friends and family, the move gave him the added bonus of being able to compete on a more intense level in football and baseball.

Taylor Lautner, Twilight, Max Steel, Stretch Armstrong, Pictures


Since moving to Los Angeles, Taylor booked roles on "My Wife and Kids" (2001), "Summerland" (2004), "The Bernie Mac Show" (2001), and the The Nick & Jessica Variety Hour (2004) (TV). In addition to television, Taylor has been very successful in the voice over work. Taylor booked a recurring role as Youngblood on the cartoon "Danny Phantom" (2004) as well as he has recorded two episodes of "What's New, Scooby-Doo?" (2002) and 'Charlie Brown'. Taylor was also booked as a series regular of a pilot presentation called Which Way Is Up? (1977) along with the voice of Silas in an animation series entitled 'Silas and Brittany'.

Taylor Lautner, Twilight, Max Steel, Stretch Armstrong, Pictures


His big break came in 2005 when, at the age of thirteen, Taylor won the role of Shark Boy in the Robert Rodriguez film The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D (2005). He spent three months on location in Austin, Texas filming, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Within months, he then successfully auditioned to play Eliot, the son of the Bakers' rival, in Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (2005).

After this came the Twilight success and from there the world.

In his spare time, Taylor loves playing football and baseball, both sports which he is very strong in. In football, he running back on offense and middle line backer on defense and, in baseball, he takes part in the Hart Baseball Program where he is positioned at center field and second base. He also participates in the LA Hip Kids, a hip-hop dance group. Taylor also enjoys making home movies with his friends, including 'Sharkboy and Lava Girl' co-star Taylor Dooley, who lives near his Los Angeles home.

Although, he wants to continue acting into adulthood, he wouldn't mind becoming a film scriptwriter and director. Certainly, this is one spunky monkey who is bound to do well in whatever he sets his mind to, and if all else fails just show your abs

Taylor Lautner, Twilight, Max Steel, Stretch Armstrong, Pictures


Next week Taylor will appear in the new Mega Cast film "Valentines Day" as one of the bit sporting characters who you get to see snog Taylor Swift (his onscreen girlfriend and rumored offscreen girlfriend - bitch). He has wrapped filming on the latest Twilight: Eclipse film which is in post production at the moment and between that Twilight film and the last (Twilight: Breaking Dawn) we can see him filming Northern Lights - the new Dean Devlin film. Set against the backdrop of extreme flying, Northern Lights follows four young pilots as they compete against the world's best. A story of teamwork, sacrifice, loss, and victory, these young aviators push themselves to physical and emotional limits in the unforgiving world of performance aerobatics. Think Red Bull Air Race spliced together with Top Gun and his sex symbol status will increase even more.

Taylor Lautner, Twilight, Max Steel, Stretch Armstrong, Pictures


Then after Twilight: Breaking Dawn, when people the world over will weep at the end of the franchise Taylor is quite literally becoming a boy toy. The "Twilight" werewolf is already set to star in Cancun. The film, produced by "New Moon" studio Summit Entertainment in conjunction with Lautner's production company, Tailor Made, is being described as "Taken" meets "Die Hard," Variety reports. Tailor Made was formed by the actor and his dad, Dan Lautner, with Temple Hill partners Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen. Taylor is desperate to show off his martial arts skills and this film is the one to do it in. Cancun centers on a teen whose injury prevents him from becoming an elite soldier. Rather than pursuing that line of work, he goes to college, meets a girl and goes on spring break in Cancun. While there, his friends are kidnapped and held for ransom in exchange for the release of a drug cartel leader who's about to be extradited. Lautner's character uses his martial arts training to save them.

Taylor Lautner, Twilight, Max Steel, Stretch Armstrong, Pictures


Following this he will go back to back with another action film. Max Steel - he'll play the titular extreme-sports-star-turned-su perhero based on Mattel toy line - and now he's stretching his acting limits even more.

According to a press release, Universal Pictures has lined up Taylor for "Stretch Armstrong," a.k.a. another franchise based on a toy (this time it's a Hasbro-owned one).

Taylor Lautner, Twilight, Max Steel, Stretch Armstrong, Pictures


The 3-D adventure, set for release in 2012, will be based around the very flexible action figure (his arms and legs can stretch "up to four times his size!"), which arrived in toy stores in the 1970s and re-launched in the 1990s.

"In the past two years, Taylor has emerged as a real star at the global box office. He brings the perfect balance of energy and athleticism to the role of an unlikely super hero with a fantastic super power," said Universal Pictures Co-Chairman Donna Langley in a statements. "We couldn't be more pleased that he has agreed to be our Stretch."

The team behind the Universal pic will include Hasbro President and CEO Brian Goldner, producer Brian Grazer ("8 Mile," "American Gangster") and writer Steve Oedekerk ("Bruce Almighty").

Taylor Lautner, Twilight, Max Steel, Stretch Armstrong, Pictures


Ontop of his acting career his looks and bod have gained him a calling for modelling and he has graced covers of Rolling Stone and Teen Vogue so far - he has the looks of a love child from George Clooney and Tom Cruise - not entirely impossible to believe if you read the rumors about those two - hahahaha

My favourite film of his so far is a tie between the latest Twilight New Moon film and Shark Boy and Lava Girl. Now he is legal and incredibly gorgeous but back then he was this care free kid martial arts champ and the film, while quite shocking, was a joy to watch from a kids fantasy angle.

Taylor Lautner, Twilight, Max Steel, Stretch Armstrong, Pictures


My only hope is that Taylor can gain huge amounts of experience from the actors and teams he works with and that his acting increases so he actually deserves to be where he is without his abs. He earnt his role in Twilight due to his dedication - now he needs to earn some credibility.

Regardless of his acting though he is one god damn spunkrat!!

From Paris With Love (5/10)

February 6th 2010 23:13
A personal aide to the U.S. Ambassador in France, James Reese (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) has an enviable life in Paris and a beautiful French girlfriend, but his real passion is his side job as a low-level operative for the CIA. All James wants is to become a bona fide agent and see some real action. So when he's offered his first senior-level assignment, he can't believe his good luck - until he meets his new partner...

From Paris with Love, John Travolta, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Pierre Morel


Pierre Morel's first film Taken, starring Liam Neeson, was a an unsurprising hit, it was intelligent, very Jason Bourne styled and had a plot that was interesting and made the audience support Neesons' characters revenge huntdown. It was also dark, controversial and ticked all the right boxes. You can actually read my review for it HERE. This film ticks only a couple of the boxes and is lacking in nearly everything except for Travolta's personality. The film has a plot that is basically unexplained and non existent and fails miserably.

From Paris with Love, John Travolta, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Pierre Morel


Travolta is a saviour for this film and this will probably leave a lot of people shocked. Normally Travolta ends up in mediocre films and supporting in some works of greatness. See Old Dogs, Battlefield Earth for the duds and Pulp Fiction for the brilliance. In this film, which could have been called "Die Hard 78: In Paris without a Plot" Travolta channels John McLaine and then cranks it all up to a 12. He is so overboard he comes across as a Cop Superhero who shoots first and then questions later and has no issue taking on six Asian thugs by himself, in fact he finds it trivial. And because of this, and matching it with his stupid sense of humor he is magnetically watchable, I was actually longing for his next scene to see what he would do next. He is GOLD in this film.

From Paris with Love, John Travolta, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Pierre Morel


Then there is Jonathan Rhys Meyers, the two of them make a great odd couple partnership, but poor old Jonathan is horrible in a lot of films and superb in a few others. He shot to stardom and critical acclaim in 1998's Velvet Goldmine and I started my crush on him when I fell in love watching him as a crazy bisexual in 1999's Titus prior to him being eaten by his family thanks to Hannibal Lecter Titus. He won a Golden Globe for his performance in 2005's Elvis and has won awards galore for his leading part in The Tudors TV show. But you just can't get past all his horrible performances. I think he needs strong direction and a passion for the project he is doing. This is an action piece of schlopp and not something I would find him being overly passionate about. He is quite flat in this one but a site to watch.

From Paris with Love, John Travolta, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Pierre Morel


The film has action abundant and is more reminiscent of action films of the 80's and 90's. A more slick Tango and Cash (although nowhere near as good), and for some reason I kept thinking a way better Broken Arrow with Travolta himself. It tries to be intelligent with an entwined story of drugs funding terrorism and an assassination attempt but it is so muddled and contrived that you kind of lose the plot and point of the story and just watch Travolta for his next killing. The film does mix some good humour into the mix and Sam (who watched with me) thought it was more of a comedy than an action film. There is many funny moments in the film that had me cracking up. One of them in particular is Travolta throwing bats onto the ground after beating up six or more Asian gang members, the entire audience of critics and reviewers we watched it with all burst into laughter. But then there is the ending (will not ruin anything I promise) where Rhys Meyers tries to save the day with talks of compassion and love. Him being the opposite of Travolta's character who only believes in killing for results. The film tries to make this a soft music, emotional love warm bit and instead I watched over 20 critics and reviewers cringe and laugh with comments of "are you kidding" resonating through the screening room. Even Sam thought it was utterly ridiculous. I understood why the character would do it but it was like throwing roses, holding hands and dancing in a circle around the action of the film and was quite silly. For this alone, Rhys Meyers will be blamed, although he was acting his directed part.

From Paris with Love, John Travolta, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Pierre Morel
Suss out the guard holidng Rhys Meyers - even he can't keep his off him


What the film also does well is car chases, there is some great high speed pusuits and one in particular with an Audi had me all excited. Of course what makes it exciting is Travolta hanging out the window with a rocket launcher on his shoulder as if he is riding a scooter. It is great, slick and fast paced. Great tension builder. Loved it and I want that Audi!!!

From Paris with Love, John Travolta, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Pierre Morel


The film is about as exciting as watching a Jackie Chan Rush Hour film with less annoying characters. If it does well a sequal is lined up but I really can't see it being that big at the box office, it will go about half way to the success of Taken. Morel needs to return to the more serious dark action film and I am in again. I did actually say I would watch this film again when it releases on Blu Ray so I can see Travolta in full action again and of course to perve on Ryhs Meyers Watch this for John Travolta in top form and enjoy it with a big popcorn and a coke - it is a non thinking action film and they are quite fun sometimes Worth 5/10. Starts this Thursday 11th Feb in Australia - could be a great Valentine's Day film - hahahahahaha

Rockmelon - My New Fruity Obsession

February 6th 2010 06:39
Like I have been mentioning a few times in recent articles if I do not like a food I try it again every year to see if my tastebuds have developed an interest.

This has been very succesful in me eventually liking coffee, avocado, beer, wine, am slowly growing to like oysters. It still does not work for bananas and although I can't stand them I eat them in cakes, smoothies, cooking of all different types. I also am not a fan of eggplant and Helen from Rouchcooking.com suggests it could be I am against the texture. This could be highly possible - bananas do feel like eating a bleached pooh hahahaha [ Click here to read more ]

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps TRL

February 5th 2010 20:43
I have my fingers crossed on this one - the first is a brilliant film and this one needs to match. I think they have done really well using Shia - he is an incredible young actor and can do this film justice. It is a Fox film though and they have been making lots of crap lately - Avatar excluded. But one film can't make up for the atrociousness of their recent productions. I hope this is leading them back into good territory.

The Road (7/10)

The Road (7/10)

I wanted to see this one desperately on the big screen and caught my break this week after work. I love apocolypse films, the whole end of the world, struggle for survival tale really engrosses me. Sean had seen it and told me to take my tissues. I have been known to cry quite frequently in films and this personal emotion struggle tale after the beggining of the end of the world has commenced was surely going to rip my heart out

Was just watching her on the news this morning - it is quite possible she will be removed from Carnivale they are reporting now.
She is an amazing little dancer but it is a sexual dance and it reminds of those little beauty pageant girls from the US that look 20yrs older than they actually are.

It's funny you mention that Janet - the one thing that annoyed me three hours after writing the article was the fact I did not mention my dislike for the title - so out of field and completely wrong for the film. It says romance to me - not B grade action film

John Travolta is great in a lot of films although he has done way more roles that are dogdie than superb.

Thanks for reading

I am not exactly sure what you are trying to say Sumaya but if you are saying that people follow the trends of younger people and a movie star who sag skinny jeans and are comparing this that they will now follow by taking heaps of drugs and suiciding I think you may have gone a bit overboard with your comparisons. From jeans to suicide? Not really what my article is about.
But to answer your last questions - YES - in some areas of the world human dignity has fallen that low. In regards to jeans - it is all how you look at it. I find it sexy and attractive and others will not.
I hope this answers some of what you are saying.
Thanks for visiting!!
