AJAMI (Russoun)
Directed by: Scandar Copti and Yaron Shani Running time: 120 minutes Release date: February 3, 2010 (NY) and February 12, 2010 (LA) Genre: Drama, Art and Foreign in Arabic and Hebrew with English subtitles Distributor: Kino International MPAA Rating: Not rated In this remarkable film, Palestinian and Israeli filmmakers Copti and Shani use their combine skills as writers and editors to project a breathtaking story on screen. They have taken an enomously complex issue of life in the Middle East and made it engagingly accessible for viewers in their debut outing as co-directors. Ajami is Israeli's submission to the 82nd Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film and winner of numerous international film festivals. In this well balanced take on individual living (and dying) during the Palestinian and Israeli conflict the film tells the story of how cultures and different views among Jews, Muslims and Christians converge. Thirteen year old Nasri (Fouad Habash) and his older brother Omar (Shahir Kabaha) face constant fear when their family becomes a target of assassination, after their uncle foolishly wounds a prominent clan member. At the same time, and not too far away, the young Palestinian refugee Malek (Ibrahim Frege) works illegally in Israel to finance his mother's ;ife-saving surgery. An affluent Palestinian man who dreams of building a life with his Jewish girlfriend, and a Jewish cop obsessed with finding his missing brother round out this unique multi-character piece that parallel each other. What makes this superb film so important is how it concisely introduces very complicated and controversial topics. It is skillfully crafted by these two filmmakers and the cinematography beautifully captures the street dynamics of this multi-faceted area of the world. This powerful narrative offers outstanding performances by professional actors and locals recruited from the Jaffa neighborhood giving the movie an authenticity of its lifestyle. I highly recommend this film. FOR MORE FILMS by Gerald Wright go to [url=http://www.HDFest.com]www.HDFest.com and [url=http://www.FilmShowcase.Blogspot.com]www.FilmShowcase.Blogspot.com. |

44 INCH CHEST
Directed by: Malcolm Venville Running time: 94 minutes Release date: January 29, 2010 Genre: Drama and Crime Distributor: Image Entertainment MPAA Rating: R In this British crime film that brings together the U.K. heavies of cinema Ray Winstone, John Hurt, Tom Wilkinson, Ian McShane is a story of revenge by hoods. Screenwriters Louis Mellis and David Scinto orchestrate a story where the protoganist Colin Diamond (Ray Winstone) a garage owner and family man learns from his attractive middle-age wife Liz (Joanne Whalley) of 20 years she is leaving him for a younger man. This young lover of Liz's is a suave Spanish waiter. Colin loses his mind and temper and attacks Liz, however she is able to escape this once petty hood of the underworld. Colin is a broken man and suffers a nervous breakdown, until four of his friends - Archie (Tom Wilkinson), Old Man Peanut (John Hurt), Meredith (Ian McShane), and Mal (Stephen Dillane) find him. Together, they kidnap the young Spanish waiter known as Loveboy (Melvil Poupand) and take him to a remote derelict house so Colin can restore his manhood with revenge. The motley crew stage a kangaroo court while Colin finds himself in no mental state to be judge and executioner. I watched this film and reflected on the 2000 movie Gangster No. 1 from the cast members shown on screen. However, the celebrity status seem to neglect the cinematic opportunites of the story. I found some characters unbelievable while the plot does not successfully import the theme to the viewer. Areas of the movie staged good dialogue between and among the characters, but the protoganist gives long boring speeches of his private thoughts. This type of monologue does not work well in this movie. As the story uses romance and tragedy as a sub-type of drama, it finds merit. However it becomes stale with dreadfully boring talk and places a halt in its plot development. This film talks and talks the talk - But does not walk the walk. SAINT JOHN OF LAS VEGAS Directed by: Hue Rhodes Running time: 85 minutes Release date: January 29, 2010 Genre: Comedy and Drama Distributor: IndieVest Pictures MPAA Rating: R In this dramedy Steve Buscemi plays John a compulsive gambler who picks up residency from Las Vegas and takes on an insurance position in Albuquerque. While he thinks he is in recovery from his addiction by working in the straight world, he is really in denial. Because a day doesn't go by that he doesn't buy a lotto, lottery or quick pick ticket to get his gambling fix. When is boss, Mr. Townsend (Peter Dinklage), asks John to accompany his top fraud debunker, Virgil (Romany Malco) on an investigation of a dubious car accident near Las Vegas, John sees an opportunity to get a promotion. The threat of returning to the gambling world is John main concern, however he wants the promotion to impress his eccentric co-worker Jill (Sarah Silverman). The movie takes on the theme of a road-trip flick as John and Virgil find many complicated scenarios to resolve. As a comedy, the simplest way of looking at it is to say that it surprises, startles, shock or delights an audience and the essential aspect of all comedy is that it goes beyond the ordinary, the dull and the familiar. This film seems to strain itself in its endeavor of being funny. This film's lacks the full use of comedy, because it doesn't use the whole range of comic tactics, which is from absurdity to mockery and to sarcasm to irony. Many scenes in this movie are exaggerated to allow the audience to feel a kindship to characters with laughter, and at times it works. As we live in social norms with standards for everything, this film attempts to push over the limit. The plot is fundamental in structure, however each absurdity in this movie is a metaphor of a world that is familiar to us. I found this movie to be uneffective in delivering its message on screen.

GODS (Dioses)
Director: Josue Mendez Running time: 91 minutes Language: Spanish with English subtitles Country: Peru 2008 Production Company: Chullachaki Productions In this dramedy writer director Mendez opens this film at a lively dance club where young and pretty Andrea (Anahi de Cardenas) is dancing and partying with all of the young men available. The dancing is hot, close and sexually motivating and it leads to intimacy. In the shadows is Diego (Sergio Gjurinovic) Andrea younger brother who is watching her intensely and sexually obsessed with her. The two young people are part of a group of rich and spoiled upper-class kids who drink and party everday/night. One of the subplots of this dark film is the incestuous sibling relationship that sparks a sad yet highly dramatic theme. As a parallel plot the film shows Elisa (Maricielo Effio) a young fiancee of a wealthy industrialist. He the father of Andrea and Diego, and flaunts his trophy wife among the rich and affluent community. Elisa's background is from a peasant lifestyle and she is in denial of ever letting her new found wealthy friends know of it. The story is well designed to indicate the class distinctions in the country of Peru. As the perverted persona of Diego and the sexual permissiveness of Andrea interrupt the storyline of Elisa's deception, the film takes the viewer to a point of noticing that Andrea is much of a "sperm recovery system" and Diego is a "slacker". She gets pregnant and he is forced to take a job at his father's plant. Their wealthy father wants more for his children, however they have very little ambition. I'm not trying to be a spoiler, however the theme of this movie can be distasteful to some viewers yet the film is crafted extremely well and deserves kudos. I was impressed that the plot and character developement moves productively in this emerging narrative. This is a story of conflict with stimulating performances by a good cast. ADRIFT (Choi voi) Directed by: Bui Thac Chuyen Running time: 110 minutes Language: Vietnamese with English subtitles Country: Vietnam Production Company: Vietnam Feature Film Studio Set in a contemporary setting of modern Hanoi, Adrift (Choi voi) is an intimate and sensual drama about a newlywed couple that explores sexual awakening. These are topics still largely frowned on by the conservative Vietnam population. The newly change from the traditional communist regime to a modern social minded state gives rise to this poignant film. Young and naive Hai and Duyen played by Nguyen Duy Khoa and Do Thi Hai Yen are newlyweds. The groom Hai is a taxi cab driver and the bride Duyen is a tourist guide. In this atmospheric psychological story Hai is inept sexually with child like ways and declines to consumate the marriage while his older wife Duyen is yearning to embrace that part of their life. As she makes advances, he avoids intimacy. This sets the stage for the complexities within the film. Duyen's best friend Cam (Linh Dan) is a writer, who has progressive ways. She keeps a complicated and unhappy relationship with a "bad boy" named Tho (Johnny Tri Nguyen). Tho is a man who exploits women and Cam puts her bestfriend Duyen in a situation with him where she is seduced. As a writer this is fuel for book yet it puts Duyen in a relation with Tho that escalates into a sexual healing that can not be reversed. Director Bui Thac Chuyen skillfully uses languid shots on film to highlight the emptiness and solitude of the characters, while slowly developing the landscape of the story. With crisp pacing and terrific performances, this riveting film is fascinating to watch. |

THE BOOK OF ELI
Directed by: The Hughes Brothers Running time: 1 hour, 58 minutes Release date: January 15, 2010 Genre: Action/Adventure, Science Fiction/Fantasy and Western Distributor: Warner Bros. MPAA Rating: R The tagline on the post-apocalyptic tale is that in the not-so-distant future, some 30 years after the final war, a solitary man named Eli (Denzel Washington) walks across the wasteland that was once America. He is a warrior not by choice but necessity to seek peace, but is challenged by threats of violence. It's not his life he guards but the hope of the future; a hope he has carried and protected for 30 years. He is driven by his commitment and guided by his belief and faith. The power Eli holds is by religion, however a self-appointed despot Carnegie played by Gary Oldman along with a band of bandits want his book of enlightment to enrich their dynasty. Meanwhile, Carnegie's adopted daughter Solaris (Mila Kunis) is fascinated by Eli for another reason: the glimpse he offers of what may exist beyond her stepfather's domain. There are a good range of movies relating to the end of the world and how the characters cope. The films range from very good to awful, with a couple of stinkers. Directors Hughes Brothers who are known for their urban crime film genre such as Menace II Society and Dead Presidents has garnered success. However, this film in many parts is entertaining and has a good concept, I think the execution was a little trite. At moments when something interesting and exciting was about to happen, suddenly it would end or would skip through the action. On the surface like many fantasy films, this one employs a cyclical rhythm in its presentation of escapades--new locale, followed by capture or separation, then dangers and threats, ending with flight or escape. The encounters become more advanced, while the plot takes liberties while deteriorating in more elaborate and more troubling ways. Thus leaving the main characters in whimsical and troublesome performances. Supporting cast members Malcolm McDowell, Michael Gambon, Jennifer Beals, Frances de la Tour and Ray Stevenson have serious problems in stimulating this troublesome and whimsical plot that fizzles out in the final scenes. One could argue that the Hughes Brothers has created a microcosm of human history, but managed to tell a less great story on screen.

JANUARY 8, 2010 OPENINGS
Yash Raj Films, one of the 27 biggest film distribution houses in the world and India's largest production company has brought a gem of a Bollywood movie to the cinema community titled Pyaar Impossible (Love Impossible). Film actor turned director Jugal Hansraj is at the helm as director of this romantic comedy that features Uday Chopra as Abhay Sharma a computer geeky nerd who carries a torch for a beautiful young woman named Alisha Merchant (Priyanka Chopra). From university years to young adulthood, Abhay hoped for the love of this girl every girl wants to be like and every guy would like for his girlfriend. However, what insignificant looking guy gets an attractive woman. With several years passing and a relocation of both, they find each other under peculiar circumstances where a stolen software design and a hidden identity brings them together. Abhay is the software genius and now Alisha is a single-working mom. Pyaar Impossible is a naturally sweet film that allows characters such as the villianous Varun Sanghvi/Siddharth Singh (Dino Morea), Anupam Kher as Abhay's father and the mischevious Tanya, Alisha's daughter to shine. The only flaws in this charming flick, and not that it is bad to gaze at, is the extremely short dresses that Chopra sports thoughout the 2 hour 25 minute film - causing none-stop leggy scenes that's overbearing. Next on the love train is Youth in Revolt, a product of Dimension Films that gives Michael Cera a role that can be considered a tantalizing comedic treat. This a story based on the acclaimed novel by C.D. Payne of Nick Twisp - a unique, but affable teen with a taste for the finer things in life like Sinatra and Fellini. However, he is hopelessly in love with free-spirited Sheeni Saunders (Portia Doubleday) while on a family vacation. With Sheeni's encouragement, Nick dumps his dull and unpleasant persona and cosmeticize himself. Nick becomes superficially attractive by taking on a suave French exterior of a moustache, ascot and pipe. In a farce of complications with fine performances by Justin Lang, Steve Buscemi, Ray Liotta, Fred Willard, Zach Galifianakis and Mary Kay Place, Youth in Revolt gives an audience a funny and romantic 90 minute coming-of-age ride. Now, lets make room for the gore films. First up is Bitch Slap, directed by Rick Jacobson and distributed by IM Global. Inspired by 'B' Movie/Exploitation films of the 1950s-70s such as Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, Kung Fu Nun, and Dragstrip Girl this is a movie about three women - Hel (Erin Cummings) a powerbroker, Camero (America Olivo) a drug-running killer, and Trixie (Julia Voth) a stripper - who travel to a remote desert hideout to steal $200 million in diamonds from a ruthless underworld kingpin. This she-gang kicks butt, shoots to kill and make love whenever possible. Though this movie is rated R, it is really soft-porn and lacks the real thought of marketable cinema. This is a combination of the grindhouse and exploitation genres. With women exposing their breast constantly and getting it on sexually they still find time to shoot-up the bad guys. Look for Lucy Lawless as Mother Superior and Renee O'Connor as Sister Batrill in this sly bloody parody. Two-time Academy Award nominee Ethan Hawkes stars in this vampire thriller of Daybreakers as Ed Dalton, a researcher in the year 2019, in which an unknown plague has transformed the world's population into vampires. As the human population nears extinction, vampires must capture and farm the remaining humans for their blood. The alternative is to find a blood substitute before time runs out. With help from a covert group played by Willem Dafoe and Claudia Karvin the plot is an action-packed adventure of grusome scenes of blood and guts. This is a fast pace Lionsgate Films flick that proves to be quite stylish. Thanks to The Spierig Brothers as directors, they give the audience more for their buck.

CAMPAIGN KINSHIP!!!
Giving Something Inner City Kids Haven't Had For Generations---A FUTURE *Is the area that your readers reside in being victimized by gangs? *How can your readers find a new way to resolve this growing problems? *Does the community need to raise funds for programs and scholarships for students? WHAT: The mission of CAMPAIGN KINSHIP is to inspire inner city schools to create conflict resolution programs and non-violence zones so their students can co-exist with gang members in a peaceful educational environment. GOALS: CAMPAIGN KINSHIP's goal is to reach out to communities to create dialogue through round table discussions and community outreach. To reach out to alumni of urban schools across the country to raise funds for college scholarships and activities to broaden the horizons of inner city students at their alma maters. WHEN: CAMPAIGN KINSHIP launches for Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday, January 18th and continues throughout February, Black History Month and beyond. WHERE: High Schools, Colleges, Universities, Community Centers, Churches, Synagogues, Corporations. WHAT CAN I DO? * Consider CAMPAIGN KINSHIP for a feature on education or the challenges of urban schools for Martin Luther King's Birthday and/or Black History Month. * Interview the Director, Alumni from WHS (Weequahic High School) and Teachers at WHS. WHY: This effort was born out of the documentary film HEART OF STONE released in select cities in 2009. Juveniles in crisis - from serious, violent, and chronic offenders to victims of abuse and neglect - pose a challenge to the nation. As reported in the latest National Youth Gang Survey, some 788,000 gang members and 27,000 gangs were active in more than 3,550 U.S. jurisdictions in 2007. As most gang members join between the ages of 12 and 15, prevention is a critical strategy within a comprehensive response to gangs that includes intervention, suppression and reentry. Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. MORE ABOUT THE FILM: HEART OF STONE, directed by Beth Toni Kruvant, focuses on Jewish and African American Alumni who come together to give back to the current students at Weequahic High School (WHS). Before 1960 WHS in Newark, New Jersey was known as one of the top schools in america. By 2000 it was one of the most violent schools in the 12th most dangerous city in the country. HEART OF STONE is the true story of WHS's quest to return to its former glory. The Weequahic High School experience as portrayed in the film, is a model for other inner city schools to follow to rejuvenate their schools by reaching into their own past. Inner cities were once proud downtown districts with excellent programs that graduated professionals who long ago moved to the suburbs. HEART OF STONE shows how disparate groups can join together to give their old communities something they haven't had for generations - a future.
