Perhaps it is a statement to how bad the fourth Alien instalment is that Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet has never returned to big budget filmmaking. No doubt Amelie is a beautiful film (more about that later) but Alien Resurection is about as far from a resurrection as you could have made. Joss Whedons wise cracking script is too comic for the Alien series, you just get the felling that no one was taking...
[The Film Doctor figures that if he just posts these last few time capsule reviews from 1997, then that will oblige him to return to the local Regal Stadium cineplex. Next up: Species II ] Now into its fourth installment, the Alien series suffers from its success. Both Event Horizon and Mimic borrowed from its peekaboo horror/sci-fi technique this summer, and by now everyone knows what the alien looks...
Even though Taking Woodstock wasn't as big of a success as he had hoped, Taiwanese director Ang Lee is moving on forward with his head held high. It was first announced in February that Lee would be the latest to take as shot at adapting Yann Martel's novel Life of Pi, about an Indian boy who is the lone survivor of a sunken freighter and winds up sharing a lifeboat with a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan...
Things are moving along (albeit slowly) with Ang Lee's adaptation of the fantasy novel Life of Pi. Speaking recently with Digital Spy, Lee mentioned that he's recently turned in his first draft of the script, and that we can probably expect it in two years. He hasn't thought about casting as of yet. The story follows a young Indian boy who ends up stranded on a boat for 227 days with a hyena, zebra,...

According to The Bookseller, Yann Martel’s crazy popular Man Booker-winning Life of Pi is finally going before the cameras, courtesy of Brokeback Mountain director Ang Lee. Filmmakers such as M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense), Alfonso Cuarón (Y Tu Mamá También) and Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amélie) are among those who have expressed an interest in the story [...]
Director says he has cracked the structure of Yann Martel's allegorical novel about a boy adrift at sea with a tiger It has been stuck in development hell for much of the past decade, but the big-screen version of Yann Martel's 2002 Man Booker prize-winning novel Life of Pi finally looks set to go into production after the Oscar-winning film-maker Ang Lee confirmed it will be his next film . Martel's...
Machinarium , a point-and-click adventure game set in a strangely recognizable robot city, is one of the most beautiful games to hit home computers in a long time. It achieves this with the barest possible technology: colored pencil drawings, ethereal music, and crude pictograph dialogue. The atmosphere is almost filmic, like Metropolis and Jean-Pierre Jeunet filtered through The Triplets Of Belleville...
If the Toronto International Film Festival is nervous about its prospects as a film market while studios and indie producers struggle, it's not showing it. "It's encouraging for all of us in the industry to see that sales continue in a tough marketplace," festival co-director Cameron Bailey said Monday as he touted recent U.S. sales for TIFF titles such as festival opener "Creation"...

I'm talking about the high end, classy jewelry and perfume commercials that are there to give guys ideas about what to give their spouses. One of the most...
“The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside as fate. That is to say, when the individual remains undivided and does not become conscious of his inner opposite, the world must perforce act out the conflict and be torn into opposing halves.” ~ Carl Jung This concept is vividly portrayed in a film we watched last night titled Fur: An...
