Hidden Gem #5

The Fall

The Fall, directed by Tarsem Singh, is a wonderfully crafted fairytale overlapping the story of a sad, desperate man.

The movie takes place in a hospital. Newly paralyzed stuntman meets a young little girl with a broken arm. She tells her a beautiful tale of 5 heroes going after evil dictator and save the damsel in distress. The plot of the fairy tale is very commonplace, but the aesthetic is some of the most beautiful imagery every put on screen. Everything is depicted at such a grand, decorative scale.

Back in the real world, the stuntman uses the young girl to score medication, some that he would use to kill himself now that he is paralyzed and no longer experience the thrills of cinema action again.

The young girl knows English as a second language, and while the lost in translation conversations can sometimes be endearing, it also gets old very fast and becomes more annoying than anything. Also the pacing of each individual story is fantastic but when intertwined they fail each other.

I couldn't help but think it could have been so much better. But Tarsem still delivers on a visceral level. The shear creativity of the flick should warrant a look-see from any kind of movie-goer.

Solid 7/10

Casting Call: Good Omens

Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch

Probably one of my favorite books, Terry Gilliam, one of the more inventive directors out there, has been desperately trying to find the funds in order to make this. He even lined up (on good faith) Johnny Depp and Robin Williams in the lead roles. Here is who I would put in the roles


Aziraphale- Paul Bettany
I love Bettany's comedic timing. It's very subtle in way that reminds me of Fawlty Towers, and British com in general. He's also got that angelic look to him. Tall, lanky, pale skin, blonde hair, blue eyes. I can visualize him stomping around a dusty bookstore quipping with Crowley


Crowley- Simon Pegg
Simon Pegg is hot shit right now. He's definitely one of the funniest people to emerge in the industry in years. Through his mutliple partnerships with Edgar Wright he has been able to show off his best, and their earliest work, the Brit TV show Spaced, had him playing a punk rock, slacker fanboy. Theres no question in my mind that he could handle the attitude and in-your-face wit (as opposed to Az's more subtle wit).


Anathema Device- Kelly MacDonald
She's not smokin' hot, but she is very attractive. She's got that loveable, adorable girl next door vibe. A very specific look for a likeable spinster like Anathema. She's full of potential as a dramatic actor, and while not naturally witty, she held her own against comedic types in both Choke and Intermission.


Newton Pulsifier- Elijah Wood
About as uninspired casting as you can get, but when you need someone who can be both timidly nerdy, but still command (for lack of a better word) the screen and not dissappear into the background, Wood is the way to go.


Witchhunter Shadwell- Bill Nighy
Nighy's timing rivals that of John Cleese. His voice is commanding and sounds heroic, but with the right delivery comes off perfectly spoofish, even to the point to sound like a crazy or clueless hero. Nighy's subtle, scatterbrain delivery (specifically Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) leaves me with the impression that he would absolutely excel in the role.


Agner Nutter- Tracy Ullman
Why? Just Because! She is a goddess among comediennes. To play a British witch who sets the entire laugh-riot story on its way.

Top 10 Opening Credits

Here are what I consider the greatest opening credits in cinema history. I put some thought into it and tried not to use the overall quality of the film dictate my options. The opening credits can be a more useful tool than many realize, setting up tone and introducing history of characters and plot. I tried to find all of them on YouTube, but I was not able to find all of them.

10. Sahara (2005)
Sahara starring Matthew MacConaughey and Steve Zahn about the adventurer Dirk Pitt and his search for confederate gold in Africa. The opening sequence is a long shot circling the yacht they call home highlighting pictures and other items of Dirk and his buddy Al's time in the Navy, and their past adventures. Star Wars may have been the obvious choice especially to highlight the history explanation of the soon unfolding story, but there is something about a scrolling paragraph that lacks creativity.

9. Casino Royale (2006)
A Bond flick had to be represented. They have been by far had some of the more consistently memorable openings in cinema history. Most of the time, they are simply a chance to show the credits and spotlight a song. This is by far my favorite. I might be a little biased because its also my favorite Bond flick featuring my favorite Bond (Connery be damned), but Cornell's song is so nostalgically classic rock but oddly fitting. Plus it has some of the more inventive imagery, as opposed to the overused (but always welcome) dancing female silhouettes.



8. Se7en (1995)
I have seen many people credit Se7en with the reemergance of the high concept opening credits. It mixes the hard rock sounds of Nine Inch Nails, with a number of creepy jounral entries and creepier hands sifting through them foreshadowing the events and eventual reveal of killer, John Doe.



7. To Kill A Mockingbird (1962)
One of the more classic opening sequences, it has been paid homage to a number of times most notably with Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous, Crowe being a famous fan of the novel, referencing it in some way. The credits are played against a close-up of Scout, the young girl of the heroic Atticus Finch. It depicts Scout as the vessel for which we experience the story, and defines the subtle veil of childlike innocence in the way the story is presented to us.

6. The Fall (2006)
Director Tarsem Singh described it as "..chaos without energy." A beutiful combination of images and music. Beethoven’s Symphony No 7 sets the stage for a surreal, slow-motion mini-movie, one who's connection to the movie becomes apparent as the movie plays on, and upon second viewing becomes even more beautiful. An ode to falling.



5. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
A brilliant operatic science fiction. Thematically heavy, but still thrilling as the straight ahead horror/sci-fis. The opening is probably one of the most memorable openings of all time. A fantastic score that establishes the sweeping epic proportions the movie depicts. One of the most identifiable theme that makes all the right hits.



4. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005)
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is one of the biggest surprises in recent cinema weaving a smart and witty neo-noir that revels in its faults as well as its strengths. The opening sequence is a tribute to classic noir, resembling the old opening credits and retro covers of the detective yarns that spawned this underrated gem. Its jazz theme inspired images of fedora wearing gumshoes and survy seductive dames.




3. Romeo+Juliet (1996)
Baz Luhrman's take on Shakespeare's timeless tale of star cross'd lovers juxtaposes Shakes words over a modern era. In order to make the connection of Ye Olde English and 20th century America, Baz plays over the introduction of the play twice, once as a newscast on a lone television, and then again over a series of images of the movie and general 20th century iconography.



2. Watchmen (2009)
The highly acclaimed graphic novel adapted to celluloid has one of the greatest opening credits in recent time. It very well could be flash-in-the-pan opinion, but the unconventional choice of song in Bob Dylan's "These Times Are A-Changing" played against famous 20th Century iconography only this time with the added appearances of masked vigilantes to introduce us to a world with a vibrant history, a history the same as ours.....but not, leading up to the plot in question. Obviously, I cannot post the sequence, but if you look hard enough, you can still find it somewhere on-line. Thus is the beauty of the internet

1. Lord of War (2005)
Lord of War was pretty cool movie. A little too much coolness in general though. It was a dark comic drama with morally ambiguous characters. Its opening sequence is one of the MOST inventive and creative sequence to ever grace the silver screen. The camera afixed to a bullet starting at the beginning of creation to its killing blow in a war torn foreign world set against Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth."

Review- I Love You, Man

Paul Rudd is easily the best thing to come out The Frat Pack and The Apatow Crew. Up till now, he's plenty of likeable jackasses, but he takes a great turn as loveable loser. His comedic timing is impeccable, and dare I say, he's not too shabby on the heavier scenes. And Segal is a blast if not a little to out there at some moments.

Rudd and Segal than surround themselves with a top-notch supporting cast. The criminally underrated J.K. Simmons and Thomas Lennon. The adorable Rashida Jones and the sexy Jamie Pressly. And of course both Jon Faveru and Lou "The Incredible Hulk" Ferrigno in memorable roles. Even Andy Samberg, who I have never been too fond of was really good in this.

The movie follows the trend of Apatow's influx crafting a pretty decent storyline with plenty of laughs both subtle and obnoxious rather than stringing a bunch of poop jokes together and hope it sells.

Don't get me wrong, Rudd's effemiate yuppie and Segal's eternally young man-child definitely get obnoxious at some points but overall stay very funny. Not the best comedy in years, but it hangs in there.

Best scene: Segal's "Anybody want a peanut line?" Makes absolutely no sense. May very well be a reference to something else, otherwise its just a random line said with a random voice.

7/10

Alkaline Trio- Mercy Me

Comic Creator Dream Projects

Here are some comic writers and projects I wish they were working on

Grant Morrison-Aquaman
Morrison loves his mythology. His JLA resembling the classic Greek pantheon. The trippy deconstruction of Batman's origins. The high-concept Seven Soldiers, which you should have read already. If Morrison got his hands on Aquaman pre-52 mutation and alternate A.C. bullshit, he would have invigorated it. Just to see what he could do with the Aruthurian legend homages, the magical possibilities of the water bearer hand, and the sword and sandal but underwater tone would be worth him taking it on.

Geoff Johns- Justice League of America
The teams of DC have been struggling for a long time now. Crisis shake-ups stop the teams from staying consistent. McKeever, who's run I have enjoyed, is getting Teen Titans on a good path, and already 2 issues in and this new Outsiders is much better than the Outsiders have ever been. JLA still needs tons of work. Johns handles the Green Lantern mythos with grace and added upon it making it much grander. Although Johns also has far too much love for the characters he grew up with rather than where they evolved up to this point. In other words: buh-bye Wally, Welcome back, Barry! (Sorry Barry fans, Wally will always be the best)

Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost- Deadpool
As shown in their X-Force and New X-Men runs, Yost and Kyle like killing and action. They are like the Michael Bay of comic writing. They keep it interesting enough to sell, but fluffy enough to not make an impact on any other level but pure popcorn entertainment value. Their knack for violence and their sick sense of humor would actually be welcomed in Deadpool, as long as the hard work put into making him an impressive character during his time in Cable and Deadpool is not undone by their style.

Dan Slott- Teen Titans
I got a lot of love for McKeever's Titans run, but there needs some more direction. Slott's ability to write cool young characters in a learning environment (a la Avengers: Initiative) is obviously the strongest case for him to write Titans, but he also has a great balance of humor and adventure seen through his work on Spiderman and Mighty Avengers (2 issues in and already better than everything Bendis has done with Avengers)

Ed Brubaker- The Question II
Montoya as the Question is an interesting concept. I miss Vic especially after a reimergence thanks to Bruce Timm and Co., but Montoya has a lot of potential. She has yet to reach that, appearing in mediocre titles, at best. Brubaker's pension for crime action and drama, and high concept storylines with endings that do not dissapoint could put this new faceless detective ahead of the cruve.

Mark Millar- X-Force
I like the concept of X-Force. X-Men wetworks team. It's one of the greatest portrayals of Wolverine, strong, confident, aggressive, but pensive on his own actions and his teammates keeping them in check. Add some more Weapon X-ers a la Deadpool and Fantomex and the team could really excel. Millar's Ultimates had a great sense of maturity but wasn't afraid to pull punches when necessary. That's the kind of thing X-Force needs; a little more relevancy, rather than being a random action title.


Thats it for now. More to come later..............................maybe.

Dream Roster #3

The Avengers


Slott's reimagining of Hank Pym to Wasp, the reluctant leader and hero in need to prove himself, is fantastic for a co-leader of the Avengers, along with Thor, who has recently been kicked out of Asgard. As classic Avengers who better to lead. Rounding out the roster is Bucky as Captain America, who has proven to be more interesting than expected. His lack of experience as an Avenger but the symbolism of his identity make him an easy choice as a member. Ms. Marvel and Luke Cage have both really etched in a spot for themselves in Bendis' Marvel universe, and deserve membership. Iron Fist has faced challenges in Immortal Iron Fist so big that he can no longer return to the street level crime he once fought. Spiderman is one of Marvel's flagship characters, can't be argued that he is their most marketable. Plus his quips are better when their are people to react to them. Black Widow is a second stringer. Vision and Stature both symbolizes classic characters, but represent a new generation of heroes.

West Coast Avengers

Clint, now as Ronin, is perfect for a leader of a new group. Mockingbird, his g/f by his side. Hercules is the Thor counterpart. War Machine the Iron Man counterpart, seeing as Iron Man is less than favorable right now. Wonder Man is a classic West Coast member, and his best friend Beast, is already stationed in X-Men's San Francisco hangout. I'd rather see him double duty than Wolverine. Machine Man has had a cool turn in Nextwave, albeit uncharacteristically, and in Marvel Zombies 3, that shed some light on that Nextwave portrayal. He needs some spotlight. She-Hulk, Hulk counterpart with actual brains. Patriot and Hawkeye for the same reason as Vision and Stature in the regular Avengers.

Review- Watchmen

Zack Snyder set out to film the unfilmable graphic novel. As far as I am concerned: mission accomplished. Snyder from the very beginning understood the thematic weight of the story, the iconicism of the characters, and the importance of change in jumping mediums. The box office numbers did not make sense though.

Do not get me wrong. The movie is full of faults, but what movie isn't. The acting was a little too melodramatic. Granted Watchmen is a melodrama, but the acting could have sold a little better. Instead it felt a little better than a soap opera. When Morgan's Comedian feels the most natural than there is a problem. Aesthetically, I thought they got the SPIRIT of the book dead to rights, but like EVERY adaptation before it certain things needed to be changed. The action was semi-atrocious. Entertaining, but in context, was ridiculous. The movie was marketed as a movie about superheroes only one of which actually has superpowers yet their was a Matrix-esque alley fight and Ozymandias' Daredevil (the movie version)-esque fight choreography just didn't fit.

A local radio DJ made a good point. The difference between The Dark Knight and Watchmen was that Nolan crafted a film where he asked "Now at any part am I losing the audience" while Snyder pandered to fanboys. Now, I have agree. Snyder infamously plays towards the fanboy crowd. He gives little online treats all the time and seems to really care about what the fanboys have to say. But I do not believe he thought he was losing the audience. I think he put a lot of faith in the story to capture the audience members who never gave it a fair chance since it is a comic book. Obviously, the story isn't for everyone. That, or it really is unfilmable and just doesn't translate as well.

Frankly, it was marketed as any other superhero movie. But it was tremondously different in terms of pacing, dialog, and thematic heaviness than most other comic movies. Plus no one is ever really prepared to spend 3 hours in a movie theater.

Watchmen is an unfortunate mess. It doesn't deserve the contempt it got or the poor box office performance. It wasn't bad, I really enjoyed it, but I couldn't help but think it could have been better. I look forward to the director's cut, but I think this will also be remembered as a "What if.....?" moment in cinematic history.

Best Part: The amazing credit sequence introducing the audience to this new world featuring masked heroes played against Bob Dylan's "Times Are A-Changing." Believe the hype, it's quite a nice opening.

7/10.

Casting Call: Fantastic Four

Fox is rambling about a Fantastic Four reboot (contract must be up soon), so here's my choices for who should play the Fantastic Four. It pains me to recast some of these people since Michael Chicklis and Chris Evans did so well. Ioan Grufford wasn't too shabby either, but frankly, he won't be missed.

Mr. Fantastic/Reed Richards- Billy Crudup
Billy Crudup kind of has the thin geeky look. He plays quite of different forms of spazs and has a very intelligent voice. It was Watchmen that inspired this choice. He's also a little older. Let's face facts. Not every superhero is 22 years old.

The Thing/Ben Grimm- Jeffrey Dean Morgan

Has proven to be quite awesome and charismatic as your average tough guy New Yorker. Add his broad shoulders, wide face, and his gruff voice and you have Aunt Petunia's favorite. Although he bitched about his costume in Watchmen, which is probably 100x better than Chiklis' Thing outfit. Plus he's already signed to a second comic adaptation, The Losers. Not that it bothers me on the audience end, I just wonder if actors would be willing to do more than 3 comic roles.

Invisible Woman/Sue Storm- Elizabeth Banks

I love Elizabeth Banks. She's beautiful and not in a sleazy or too thin Hollywood manner. She has a great sense of humor and can actually act (unlike Alba). I just don't see a down side.

Human Torch/Johnny Storm- Seann William Scott

I'm a fan of Scott. I think he is better than most give him credit for, and if given the chance to shine, would do very well. Johnny obviously is a more comedic role, and he has that down pat. But eventually Torch will require some kind of dramatic acting, and Scott has shown that in a few low key dramas, specifically Still Standing. There is also way more resemblance between Scott and Banks than Evans and Alba (LOL)

Top 10 Rogues for the Next Batman Movie

These are my favorites for the next Batman movie.


10. David Cain
With Batman on the run, the mob and the law will both be looking for him. Prime spot for a hired gun.
Chances: None. The character is devoid of a lot of the eccentricities that a Bat-Rogue usually entails. In the hired gun department there are simply better choices
Casting: Too hot of a commodity especially with comic flicks, but Mickey Rourke all the way.

9. Killer Croc
Nothing to challenge a hero like a freak with brute force. Probably too dumb to carry a flick like The Dark Knight though
Chances: Pretty good as a henchman, but do not expect too much.
Casting: Kevin Durand



8. GCPD
Gotham City Police Department will surely be following the Bats considering the end of Dark Knight. But do they pose a big enough threat especially considering their boss is on his side
Chances: 100% they'll be involved, but not in the capacity this list is emplying.
Casting: Michael Madsen as Bullock please!


7. Talia Al Ghul
Batman's eternal love interest come back for revenge for her father's death with the entire League of Shadows behind her.
Chances: 50/50. Great character with full circle appeal but I feel her direction does not correspond with the ending of The Dark Knight.
Casting: Kate Beckinsale. Uninspired but she'll do for now.


6. The Penguin
After the shake-up the mob got from the Joker, there is a huge hole left. Fill it with the Penguin. Frankly, I do not think he is a big enough threat to carry an ENTIRE movie.
Chances: 50/50. Nolan and Co. seem hesitant on continuing if characters already portrayed. If seen I think he should be in a role similar to Eric Roberts' in the last one.
Casting: David Suchet. Spitting fuckin' image.

5. Ra's Al Ghul
By nature, he is ripe for a return. By nature, he is also pretty much the perfect Batman Rogue. Strong, skilled, intelligent, and has intimate knowledge of Bruce's psychology.
Chances: I have no clue. I think Nolan likes the character but he has stayed away from the unrealistic nature of Batman.
Casting: Liam Neeson of course.

4. The Riddler
Too good to pass up. Fights Batman with his mind instead of with violence. Allows Batman to do some detective work, something the series has lacked.
Chances: Pretty good in my opinion. He may have already been used but his potential for noir atmosphere and crossover to the "Nolanverse" pretty well.
Casting: Casey Affleck. Or anyone but that Mr. E guy from Dark Knight.


3. Bane
Bane CAN be interesting. He's got a lot of potential miles beyond the Batman and Robin portrayal. It would be a great one on one for Batman. Just like Cain and GCPD, he can also be used to go after the now fugitive Bat.
Chances: Slim. Slimmer than my liking. He's been used before, but poorly. And his nature is a tad unrealistic, but could be easily adapted.
Casting: Put some big dude in the mask and have Javier Bardem voice him Darth Vader style.

2. Catwoman
Joker and Two Face are done. Rachel is done. Batman is out a nemesis and a love interest. Who better to fill both roles than Catwoman.
Chances: Slim as main villain. Damn good as part time rogue, full time love interest.
Casting: Michelle Monaghan. Spunky attitude, slinky build. How can you say no?


1. Deadshot
In my opinion, Deadshot is the best candidate for "The Hunt for The Bat." Lots of attitude. The antithesis to Batman (sorta). The character is really charismatic, and can be portrayed as both anti-hero and rogue if necessary.
Chances: Almost zip with WB planning a Suicide Squad flick with 'shot as a member of the team.
Casting: Timothy Olyphant. Think Go not Hitman.

Top 5 Books I Want to See Filmed

1. Catcher in the Rye

Seems like a simple story to adapt, but Salinger has a real Alan Moore syndrome where he won't give up the rights to Hollywood. And seeing some of the crap they make I don't blame him.















2. I Am Legend

The Will Smith version made some changes for obvious reasons and many I didn't mind, but they complete lost sight of what the title is actually referring too.















3. Good Omens

Gilliam already wants to do this and has Robin Williams and Johnny Depp committed on good faith. How is this having trouble getting made?













4. The Dark Tower series

Awesome, awesome series that takes classic Western iconography and superimposes it over a thrilling and parallel world hopping fantasy epic.














5. Dirk Gently series

The other series by Adams, which is about a quirky British detective of the unusual. Aren't quirky British guys kind of in right now?

Movie Trivia of the Week

Before Bruce Willis got his role as John McLane, the studio was looking at Arnold Shwartzaneggar, Sylvester Stallone, Richard Gere, and Burt Reynolds.
