The Movie Corner

Archive for December, 2008

Today it was announced that the latest installment of the Batman films, 'Dark Knight' is to be added to the best films category of 2008. It is also up for an oscar nomination for best visual effects. The film has broken so many box office records that people have started to loose count. The 'Dark Knight' hosts a vast array of Hollywood stars including, Cristian Bale, Micheal Cain, Gary Oldman and of course the late Heath Ledger. Heath Ledger himself is up for a posthumous Golden Globe this week for his incredible performance as the Joker in the Dark Knight as I think it is duly justified as his acting was truly mesmerizing.

The latest Batman film is by far my favorite so far and the Director Chis Nolan has done a fantastic job is putting this masterpiece of a film together. Everything was spot on and the film was well accepted by the audience. I think I speak for everyone when I say that the general public are more than eager to see when the next installment of Chris Nolan's Batman will come out.

The award for best film in 2008 will finally be decided in early 2009 at an exquisite luncheon in Los Angeles however the nominations list has already been compromised with the 'Dark Knight', 'Wall-E' and 'Quantum of Solace'. The winner of the coveted nominations will obviously be crowned the best film of 2008. Additionally, the nominations for the oscars will be announced soon with the final winners being declared in February 2008. 'Dark Knight' has already qualified for one of these awards and I have no doubt in my mind that the film will surely qualify for some more as it truly is one the best films of our generation and Heath Ledger's performance deserves all the praise and accolade that it gets.

The new Batman film, ‘The Dark Knight’ has been named as one of the best movies of 2008 by the American Film Institute. Other films that were nominated for best films of 2008 were, ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ and Disney’s, ‘Wall-E’. Many other films were included in the top running including, Iron Man and drama hit, Frozen River but the top ten choices will be honoured at a luncheon on January 9th at an unnamed event in America.
Additionally, The Dark Knight has been named as one of the 15 semi-finalists for best visual effects Oscar which is an incredible achievement. Other nominations include the second instalment of the Chronicles of Narnia film, Prince Caspian and the latest James Bond film, Quantum of Solace. Last week the late Heath Ledger was nominated for a posthumous Golden Globe award for his role as the infamous Joker character in the Dark Knight. The role he played was absolutely mesmerizing and there has been nothing but constant appraise for his performance.
I think it is duly justified that this film be awarded for an Oscar as the whole cast performance was simply astounding. Each actor’s performance was incredible and it is now one my favourite films of all time. It was so different  to any other Batman film I have seen before and it was taken well by the audience. The casting and the commitment by the Director, Chris Nolan was incredible and it made an amazing film to watch. There is no doubt in my mind that the performance of Heath Ledger as the Joker will surely live on in our memories for years to come and although it is truly sad that he has passed away we will always remember his as one of the best actors of our time.
I don’t think this will be the last that we have heard of the Dark Knight movie. I am sure that this influencial film will win countless other awards and accolades. I am very eager to see whether it will last till February for the Oscar nominations as it truly deserves it.

Hit UK show, the X-Factor which is the sister show to US hit, American Idol, is to take a harsh u-turn next year as the lead anchor for the television program, Simon Cowell has confessed he might leave. Can you imagine that show without the lead presenter, Simon Cowell? All the snide comments, the cheeky winking and the very strange haircut! It just wouldn’t be the same without him which is why the show’s producers are more than eager to arrange another deal with Simon Cowell as soon as possible. Simon has repeatedly been talking about his future on the show stating that he only has one year left on his contract and he will assess it closer to the time. In all honesty, I think it is time for a shake up in the show but it wouldn’t be the same without Simon. The UK born judge also works on neighbouring American shows like, American Idol and Britain’s Got Talent. The circuit is exhausting claims Simon, ‘something has to give as my schedule for the year is simply too much’. This year’s show has been one of the best as it attracted the biggest names in pop such as, Beyonce, Britney Spears and BoyZone to appear live on stage with the contestants. As far as Ratings are concerned it has been the most incredible turn out with over six million people tuning in to watch the final at the weekend just gone. There have also been numerous rumours considering the future of Danni Minogue as she has literally been out classed by fellow judge, Cheryl Cole from UK band, Girls Aloud.
If Simon Cowell did quit the show, who on earth would take his place? I can’t imagine anyone on TV at the moment which would be able to fill Simon Cowell’s shoes as the angry, witty, slightly charming judge that everyone loves and hates at the same time.

With every programming package that you’ll get from Comcast’s digital cable TV service there are a few basic features that you can rely on to help you make the most out of your time spent watching TV.  First of all, the fact that all of Comcast’s programming is transmitted digitally is a great feature in and of itself. 

You see, there’s a certain amount of fuzziness to the picture and sound that results from an analog TV signal- even one transmitted over a buried cable- that’s completely eliminated with a digital TV signal.  The result of this technology is a great picture and high quality sound that’s almost as good as what you would get if you had the master copy right there in your home!

Other great features that Comcast includes in all of its programming packages are an interactive on screen program guide, a selection of video on demand options through ON DEMAND, forty channels that feature great music in CD quality sound, all of your local TV channels, and the option of getting a DVR in your home entertainment center!

The features that are common to all of Comcast’s digital cable TV programming packages also happen to be the features that make up its most basic, most economical programming package.  The other programming packages available from Comcast pretty much build on the basic one by adding national cable TV channels until you reach the top of the line package that offers almost three hundred channels for your viewing enjoyment!

It was reported yesterday that Brad Pitt fell for now wife, Angelina Jolie whilst he was married to Friends star, Jennifer Aniston. The fight club star told, Rolling Stones magazine earlier this month that whilst making the film, Mr & Mrs Smith he fell in love – seven months before the end of his marriage. Brad’s comments came two months after Angelina herself started to develop feelings towards Brad Pitt whilst making the blockbuster film. She later opened up to the New York times saying that it is not often to see two actors fall on love on set, referring to her own children watching the film.
The Hollywood stars had always stated that their relationship started after Brad’s marriage had ended but now it is coming to light that that is not the case. Angelina once said that, “To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive”. Well, it looks like that has all changed as she has now professed her love for Brad Pitt whilst they wer both filming, Mr & Mrs Smith. Angelina Jolie has since given birth to three children with Brad Pitt, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne. 
Meanwhile, Jennifer has poked fun at the extreme level of gossip surrounding  Angleina, Brad and herself. She recently posed nude for a front cover picture on GQ magazine where she seemed to point out that she was over the heart break with brad Pitt.  The break-up star who has had flings with various Hollywood actors is now dating singer, John Mayer, who is the singer in his own band from New York. She is reported to be very happy in her relationship and jokes about the whole ordeal. Yet Jennifer Anniston revealed that her and her ex rarely communicate anymore except for special occasions like birthdays and stuff like that.

Cinemas have always been around. No matter what age you are, you can never grow out of visiting your local cinema. With more blockbuster movies hitting our screens, I do feel that new more than ever is the time cinemas should take full advantage.

With current advancements in technology we are seeing people wanting to stay at home much more, with the release of HD and Blu-Ray there is really no reason to keep visiting the cinema. Ok yes it is a good social experience, but for the amount you are paying, you could in fact wait a few more months and buy the Disc and watch it an unlimited amount of times.

Film producers and developers should right now consider creating 3D movies. They already give us Dolby surround sound so why not go the whole mile and give us surround vision?

3D movies have been around for a long time, the days where you had to put on your special 3D specs and watch the movie were great, but it did effect the film quality making the image very distorted. There are two approaches in which I feel the cinemas should take, first and foremost if they are going to hand out specs let them be futuristic 3D glasses so that we can get the full quality experience from it.

The second feature and most exciting in my mind, is to make the movie theatre into an actual movie. Why just have a projection at the front? Get projectors to turn the room into an antual movie? When you look up you will see the sky and when you look down you will see the films ground.

Can you imagine how awesome it would be to watch an action movie like that? Where its like your in the movie, say you are watching Spiderman it would be like he is flying over your head. The cinemas should take note and up their technology before it is too late, the cinema needs to develop itself just like home entertainment has been doing.
