Text of the page (random words):
ers inhabit is considerably more complex one thing that surprised me the most about the film was the balance between a sense of dread at the surrounding tragedy and a giddy feeling watching ponyo experience the world that she so desperately wants to be a part of in fact i was so involved in ponyo s exploits that there were moments in the film where i had to stop and remember what was at stake in the story this is the power of animation i highly doubt that ponyo would work as well as a live action film sitting down in the theater i was surprised that there were so many children in the audience and i m curious what their overall reaction was to the film did they enjoy it was it too metaphysical or as i would like to imagine was the premise of the film easily accessible to people of all ages i would love to see some answers from movie going parents as for me i m going to go watch some more miyazaki films originally posted at moviezeal com filed under film reviews leave a comment the way we get by posted on august 5 2009 by joseph demme the way we get by directed by aron gaudet written by aron gaudet the way we get by is a fantastic documentary by writer director aron gaudet it is about three older people and what they ve gone through in the last five years as the self appointed welcoming committee for american troops as they return to native soil the film is predominately set in the bangor airport in bangor maine and the homes of the welcomers the way we get by is a short documentary that was made for the long running pbs television series p o v it s a film about nothing and yet everything by that i mean that the stories don t seem to be as heavily influenced by the director as other documentaries might be and the many themes that come across in the film loss loneliness family spirit etc are universal themes the style presented in the documentary keeps these stories fresh and interesting there s an amazing rhythm from story to story that keeps it going one style in particular reminded me of david lynch s on going interview project which centers around individual stories the similarity lies in the edit where the interviewee s audio track is dubbed over a different shot trying to capture the right emotion for what is being said each person in the way we get by is a dear soul and i instantly connected with william joan and gerald on an emotional level there s so much pathos here heck the preview itself had me tearing up i found one line from gerald to be especially poignant when asked why he was doing what he was doing he replied be nice to somebody and that makes you feel nicer that s the only way you can deal with it i loved seeing the different attitudes and opinions of the greeters as well i love how these people even the ones who don t support the war are there to support the troops regardless of their stance that in mind i wouldn t call the way we get by an anti war film rather i think anti loss would be a more fitting term filed under film reviews tagged aron gaudet critique documentary film movie pbs review the way we get by leave a comment netflix recommendations posted on july 31 2009 by joseph demme berutt recently posted the following on twitter looking for some suggestions for my netflix queue documentaries cult classics comedies non fiction any suggestions rather than inundate twitter with several recommendations 140 characters just doesn t cut it sometimes i decided to properly respond by hammering out a quick response here not only will i be able to more accurately pick some films to recommend but hey it s an excuse to write more taking the genres listed into consideration here are several films that deserve to grace anyone s netflix queue salesman dare i say the perfect documentary salesman and the maysles brothers opened my eyes to the beauty of documentaries from their fascinating subjects to their fly on the wall style of filmmaking and if you like this go ahead and add gimme shelter and grey gardens as well king of kong a fistful of quarters another documentary that i fell in love with it s easily one of the most suspenseful documentaries i ve ever seen and is assembled well plan 9 from outer space regarded by many as the worst film ever made this cult classic directed by ed wood is a treat for the cinema masochist and as an added bonus do your self the favor and watch ed wood after wards ironically i consider it to be tim burton s best film and johnny depp s best performance arsenic and old lace everyone needs to have a little fun now and again and frank capra s no exception this off the wall dark comedy is an instant classic with many memorable moments raising arizona the coen brothers wrote and directed need i say more and nicholas cage s performance is good the fisher king a fantastic film from terry gilliam i d say more but i d rather not ruin the experience what netflix films would you recommend follow me on twitter be my friend on

kurt gunn starring carrie preston austin pendleton reg rogers michael chernus charlie kaufman s absurdity meets the style of wes anderson in this quirky look at humanity and the art of storytelling carrie preston plays marian an author who is struggling with her latest novel about two man children no this is not a will ferrel movie who live together in a landlocked boat in the middle of nowhere surviving on cereal and milk faced with writer s block marian goes to preston austin pendelton for help encouraged by her mentor marian attempts to off her main character what she doesn t realize however is that humkin has other plans in mind and literally leaps into our world i hesitate to say too much about the iconoclastic story for fear that it would take away from experiencing it for yourself it s a mixed bag of emotions and first time director kirt gunn also the writer handles it delicately it reminded me of stranger than fiction and adaptation but only in plot kirt s story is unique fresh and well worth watching at times grandiose and overacted the decidedly idiosyncratic story has a peculiar blend of fiction and reality that works surprisingly well the title of this film is very apt and wonderfully absent from the film it s a title that makes sense in retrospect which is a credit to the film the range of acting talent on display in lovely by surprise is in my mind the film s greatest component carrie preston austin pendelton and reg rogers perform admirably i would love to see more from them michael chernus brought a great amount of charisma to his performances as humkin and a what about bob quality to the character it s a great little film with a lot of heart lovely by surprise comes out on dvd july 7th 2009 originally posted at moviezeal com filed under film

by joseph demme movieman0283 at the dancing image started a meme called reading the movies where the writer lists their top 10 list of books on films that have been an inspiration i haven t read many film books or at least that s what i tell myself and most of the following were required reading for my film related classes but they all have inspired me in some capacity so enjoy the following i look forward to checking out the other lists when i get the chance in order of their placement on my bookshelf title awake in the dark author roger ebert inspiration if there s one thing that i like about roger ebert it s his unmistakable love of movies and you can t help but feel inspired by it title the great movies parts i and ii author roger ebert inspiration ditto from above and i believe this was the first time i read about fellini title i lost it at the movies author pauline kael inspiration pauline kael has inspired me to watch several movies so that i can read her book intelligently it hasn t happened yet title celluloid mavericks a history of american independent film making author greg merrit inspiration there s something to be said about going back to early days of film and celluloid mavericks does this well i was introduced to the likes of edgar ulmer jim jarmusch john cassavetes robert aldrich and samuel fuller we also watched some lynch and coen as well who i was already familiar with it was a great class title a new history of documentary film author jack c ellis inspiration i hadn t seen too many documentaries before taking this class and wasn t a big fan i always thought of documentaries as stuffy boring and filled with talking heads little did i know how intriguing documentaries could be and how narrative translate so well to them if there s one thing the i learned from this book it s that everyone has a story to tell how you tell that story is another thing i am now a fan of albert david maysles errol morris d a pennebaker steve james and many others i learned more about cinema verite which is a favorite subject of mine title silent movies the birth of film and the triumph of movie culture author peter kobel inspiration i watched greed and sunrise is there anything else to say title through a screen darkly author jeffrey overstreet inspiration perhapy my biggest inspiration of all jeffrey encourages his readers to look closer and to seek out quality films auto biographical in nature the story of his forays into film are personally wonderful title european cinema author elizabeth ezra inspiration another film class textbook that introduced me to ingmar bergman sergei eisenstein vittorio de sica werner herzog jean luc godard federico fellini jean renoir fritz lang and many more title story author robert mckee inspiration highly recommended for writers of any kind stories are everywhere title screenplay author syd field inspiration this falls into the same grouping as story but with more emphasis on the format of a script consider yourself tagged filed under life meme 1 comment nashville film festival report day 2 posted on may 31 2009 by joseph demme day 2 of the nashville film festival started with the 1 00 showing of a documentary called capturing reality the art of documentary the overall format of the film was interviews with a host of documentarians around the world broken up by clips from their films i appreciated the range of talking heads as there were many faces that i didn t recognize after the film was over i came away with two cemented ideas errol morris continues to fascinate me especially with his interviewing device showcased in fog of war and i appreciate werner herzog more and more but trust him less he blurs the line between fact and fiction too much for my tastes his point that all film in a sense is fictionalized but i don t think that should stop filmmakers from trying to portray truth in the films this is a discussion that i would have liked to see more interaction with between the interviewed after a quick lunch i watched mothers daughters at 3 15 this film followed the mother daughter relationships between several characters overlapping in some areas overall it came across as being overly dramatic in several scenes but there were a few gem moments that really touched me the older woman pictured above in the film was fantastic the emotionality of the character was portrayed with such subtelty i admit that william shatner was one of the selling points of the festival for me i d read a little about the william shatner s gonzo ballet here and there but wasn t quite sure what it was about until watching it at the festival in short it s a documentary that tells the story behind choreographer margo sappington s ballet common people the performance fuses the ballet with has been a recent album by william shatner and ben folds the documentary which works more as a dvd special feature than a feature length film tells the story through interviews with the artists involved in both productions which is a great story to tell it also features footage from the ballet which was riveting to say the least i would have loved to see it performed live after returning from nashville i purchased a copy of has been which is quite a treat filed under film reviews life tagged ben folds critique documentary film film festival movie

latest animated film from disney pixar and is a treat for all ages it follows the exploits of carl fredricksen a disgruntled elderly balloon salesman and a local boy scout named russell as they set off in a grand adventure to south america in carl s house propelled by a plethora of colorful balloons that s the most that i want to give away from a film that everyone should experience for themselves i was impressed by the balance between the style and the narrative in up the opening 15 minutes or so for example is in essence a montage that blends the two together perfectly and sets up the rest of the film nicely pixar has a history of technical excellence and up definitely falls into this category it was released in 2d and 3d formats and i applaud the pixar team for creating a 3d film that doesn t feel too gimmicky the 3d format accentuates the film and doesn t draw too much attention to itself taking the viewer out of the experience from the beginning of the film the story evokes feelings of nostalgia childlike innocence while up is a decidedly humorous sometimes too silly for my tastes family film it s also very serious touching upon themes of family belonging and fear following in the footsteps of wall e i love pixar s emphasis on non verbals especially in the opening montage drawing upon charlie chaplin s physicality antics and especially pathos the emotionality of the film was especially heightened by michael giacchino s breathtaking score which kept me in my seat during the end credits while i found the story especially ...
