Myndir mánaðarins: Juni 2007
Í nýjasta blaði Mynda mánaðarins eru 31 titill á útgáfuskrá. Þar af eru eftirtaldir nokkuð álitlegir að mínu mati:
Last King of Scotland (Forest Whitaker - mynd um Idi Amin)
Dreamgirls (fjallar um frægðarferil the Supremes og Diönu Ross)
Because I Said So (Diane Keaton)
Copying Beethoven (Ed Harris - samskipti tónlistarnemanda við sjálfan Beethoven)
Find me Guilty (Van Diesel - Mafíuréttarhöld)
Color me Kubrick (John Malkovich - gaur sem þykist vera Kubrick og kemst upp með það)
The Illusionist (Ed Norton - dularfull mynd um töfrabrögð og brellur)
Inland Empire (nýjasta David Lynch myndin)
Music and Lyrics (Drew Barrymoreog Hugh Grant - rómantísk gamanmynd)
Ekki má gleyma því að nú er búið að gefa Örninn út á myndbandi/DVD. Fyrsta sería er fáanleg.

Myndir mánaðarins: April 2007
Í mánuðinum er tilkynnt um 32 nýjar leigumyndir. Ég skráði hjá mér eftirfarandi titla og bar undir Rotten Tomatoes. Niðurstaðan er hér fyrir neðan með titli myndar, tölfræði jákvæðra umfjallana og almenna umsögn.
Áreiðanleg klassamynd
Little Miss Sunshine
92%
What happens when you stuff a failed motivation speaker, his wife, the nation's number one Proust scholar, an elderly potty-mouthed heroin addict, a teen who’s mute by choice, and a bespectacled little pageant hopeful into a mini VW bus for a three day road trip? You get this hilarious but moving satire about a dysfunctional family obsessed with winning. Credit must go to the ensemble cast that includes Greg Kinnear, Steve Carell, Toni Collette, Alan Arkin, and Abigail Breslin and the delightfully funny script by Michael Arndt, which first-time directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris handled perfectly.
Líklega góð afþreying
Stranger than Fiction
74%
A fun, whimsical tale about about an office drone trying to save his life from his narrator. The cast obviously is having a blast with the script, but Stranger Than Fiction's tidy lessons make this metaphysical movie feel like Charlie Kaufman-lite.
Líklega ekki þess virði að eltast við, en samt...
Marie Antoinette
54%
Lavish imagery and a daring soundtrack set this film apart from most period dramas; in fact, style complete takes precedence over plot and character development in Coppola's vision of the doomed queen.
The Holiday
47%
The Holiday, while sweet and somewhat touching, lacks any surprises and eventually overstays its welcome.
Síðri myndir, kannski hálf lélegar
Trust the Man
28%
What aspires to be a sophisticated, unconventional romantic comedy turns out to be a contrivance-filled pretender to other, better films of its genre.
Black Dahlia
35%
Though this ambitious noir crime-drama captures the atmosphere of its era, it suffers from subpar performances, a convoluted story, and the inevitable comparisons to other, more successful films of its genre.
Man of the Year
20%
Weakened by second-half attempts at thriller and romance, this presidential comedy also fails to hit any sharp political notes, resulting in a confused and unsatisfying mess.

Myndir mánaðarins: Mars 2007
Alls voru gefnar út 29 myndir í mánuðinum. Eftirtaldar tíu myndir fannst mér álitlega á pappírnum og skráði hjá mér. Síðan raðaði ég þeim í gæðaröð skv. Rottentomatoes ásamt almennum samanteknum umsögnum (Consensus) um þær vænlegustu. Þetta er niðurstaðan:
Áreiðanlegar klassamyndir
Casino Royale
94%
"Casino Royale disposes of the silliness and gadgetry that plagued recent James Bond outings, and Daniel Craig delivers what fans and critics have been waiting for: a caustic, haunted, intense reinvention of 007".
Children of Men
91%
"Children of Men works on every level: as a violent chase thriller, a fantastical cautionary tale, and a sophisticated human drama about societies struggling to live. This taut and thought-provoking tale may not have the showy special effects normally found in movies of this genre, but you won't care one bit after the story kicks in, about a dystopic future where women can no longer conceive and hope lies within one woman who holds the key to humanity's survival. It will have you riveted".
Borat
90%
"Borat gets high-fives almost all-around for being offensive in the funniest possible way. Part satire, part shockumentary..."
Paradise Now
88%
"This film delves deeply into the minds of suicide bombers, and the result is unsettling".
Myndir sem geta komið á óvart
Factotum
75%
"Matt Dillon's performance is the highlight of this somewhat slow but fascinating portrayal of Charles Bukowski's alter-ego".
Proof
63%
"Gwyneth Paltrow and Anthony Hopkins give exceptional performances in a film that intelligently tackles the territory between madness and genius".
Ólíkleg til afreka - en samt...
Groomsmen
53%
"Director and star Burns returns to his home turf -- dialogue-driven examinations of the relationships between men and women -- with uneven results".
Ruslakistan (og ein utangátta)
The Oh in Ohio - 20%
All the King´s Men - 11%
Jindabyne - ? (fann enga umsögn)

Myndir mánaðarins: Febrúar 2007
Í mánaðarskammti blaðsins að þessu sinni mátti finna 29 útgáfutitla. Af þeim fannst mér eftirfarandi áhugaverðir. Þeim hef ég raðað skv. gæðastaðli Rotten Tomatoes og sett inn samantektarumsagnir (consensus) á betri myndunum:
Áreiðanlegar klassamyndir
The Departed
93%
The Departed is a thoroughly engrossing gangster drama with the gritty authenticity and soupy morality that has infused director Martin Scorceses past triumphs. Featuring outstanding work from an excellent cast that includes Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Matt Damon, some critics say the film even tops its source material (the Hong Kong thriller Infernal Affairs). The Departed marks a triumphant return to form for Scorsese; it's his best-reviewed film since GoodFellas.
An Inconvenient Truth
92%
While global warming is a hotly-debated subject, what everyone on both sides can agree upon is that, if real, it's a very bad thing. Since losing the 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush, former Vice President Al Gore has busied himself by being an outspoken figure against this potential environmental disaster. As much about the man as about greenhouse gases, this candid, powerful and informative documentary illuminates some of the myths surrounding both of its subjects equally well.
Myndir sem gætu komið á óvart
The White Massai
83%
Visually stunning, The White Masai is an unforgettable love story that takes us deep into the heart of Kenya. The course of true love is never smooth, and the story of a Swiss woman who marries a Masai warrior is romance at its most exotic.
Riding Alone For Thousands
80%
Doesn't reach the heights of Zhang Yimou's best, but this is still a heartwarming tale of love and forgiveness from the acclaimed Chinese director.
Pulse (japanska útg.)
72%
A sinister spine-tingling techno-thriller whose artistry lies in the power of suggestion rather than a barrage of blood and guts or horror shop special effects.
Leonard Cohen - I´m Your Man
71%
A moving, if somewhat uneven, look at the legendary singer-songwriter, I'm Your Man treats Cohen's body of work with the reverence it deserves.
Ein tæplega þess virði - og þó (áhugaverð efnistök)
Art School Confidential
35%
Art School's misanthropy is too sour, its targets too flat and cliched, and Clowes and Zwigoff stumble when trying to build a story around the premise.
