Airports have come to look like malls. These places seem to be irreverently trying to get you to forget that you are always on the go. Everyone seems to be going about in the same way, eating the same buffet, drinking the same drinks and thinking the same thoughts. When someone flies 350,000 miles in one year all of this becomes futile. You eat what you have to eat. Drink what you have been taught to drink. Inquiry becomes useless because this type of world is decentralized, harboring a sparsity of individualism and catering to a state of repetition. This is a post-modern way of living because there is no center for these frequent fliers, these business moguls. No »

19 December 2009 4:07 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
With La dolce vita in 1960, Federico Fellini created a new kind of personal fantastical movie to deal with the corrupt, newly affluent Italy. It replaced the neorealism that had dominated Italian cinema for 15 years. Three years later, in the even more phantasmagoric, semi-autobiographical Otto e mezzo (aka 8½), Marcello Mastroianni, who'd become Fellini's alter ego in La dolce vita, played Guido Anselmi, a director at the end of his tether while in pre-production on his latest expensive movie at Rome's Cinecittà.He has magnificent sets and costumes, but no script, and as he's badgered by producers, wives, mistresses, journalists and assorted hangers-on, he fantasises about his life and loves and revisits his past.
It is a dazzling film, funny, moving and deeply serious. One of the most influential pictures ever made, it contributed to the myth of the film director as supreme auteur, encouraged a movie critic to publish a »

Fashion fix: Emporio Armani black dress from The Ugly Truth
14 December 2009 3:02 AM, PST | Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news »
There are dresses, there are nice dresses and then there are little black dresses. When dressing to impress, nothing beats the Lbd. It’s the ultimate fashion weapon, capable of fusing sophistication with sexiness, mystery with mischief and more besides. Audrey Hepburn wore hers with pearls and opera gloves in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Anita Ekberg frolicked in a fountain in hers in La Dolce Vita and Grace Kelly tempted the wheelchair-bound James Stewart in hers in Rear Window (one of the late princess’s many adored wardrobe items to go on exhibition next year, see Related Content). And now we have a new contender to add to this list of legendary LBDs – the Emporio Armani one as worn by Katherine Heigl’s Abby Ritchter in rom-com, The Ugly Truth. »
What I Watched, What You Watched: Installment #20
6 December 2009 1:54 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
This week it was a pair of Italian cinema greats and one of the best films of 2009. I also watched Inglourious Basterds on Blu-ray as well as a second helping of Public Enemies, but reviews of both of those will be just around the corner so no further mentions here.
Ginger and Fred (1986) Quick Thoughts: If you're any kind of fan of Italian cinema and/or Federico Fellini you know the names of Marcello Mastroianni and Giulietta Masina. If you don't you really should. Might I recommend picking up La Strada, 8 1/2, Nights of Cabiria and La Dolce Vita. That should be a good primer and should have you falling in love with these two. Once you've done that, pick up Ginger and Fred as this is a film to be watched only after enjoying these two charismatic actors in their younger years as they are both much older in this film, »

Would You Do...Ratty Brad and This Beard?
1 December 2009 3:39 PM, PST | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
How the mighty have fallen—at least for a night. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were spotted last night leaving La Dolce Vita restaurant in Beverly Hills, and must say, there was nothing sweet about Brangelina's look. We know Brad's been sporting this grimy growth for some time (no, that's not a cryptic play on words saying that Angelina's a beard or anything). But it's really making B.P. look like a ratty-ass mess, not the sexy father-of-six mess like we've gotten used to. This is a stud who can usually pull off any look, but his Bff George Clooney, only a few movie-star miles away, seems to have a far better handle on aging. Why's that? No kiddies to wrangle, just »

Brad and Angelina Do Date Night by the Book

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie stepped out together yesterday for a date night in La. The duo enjoyed a meal at La Dolce Vita in Beverly Hills and were spotted heading back to their car hand in hand. The public display of affection is well-timed, considering the recent release of some bombshells about their relationship in the upcoming Brangelina Exposed. You guys seem split about the book's many allegations about their lives, but there were no signs of strain between them as they smiled for the cameras on their way home.

Featured Article: Classic Italian Film
9 November 2009 4:45 PM, PST | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »
With its silent superspectacles, postwar neo-realism and 1960s new wave, the Italian film industry has enjoyed three major periods of international influence. In between times, it has assimilated the technological advances and dramatic styles of foreign competitors and used them to shape such local trends as the `white telephone' film, calligraphism, giallo, the `sword and sandal' epic, the `spaghetti' Western and the dialect comedy.
Over the years, the unexpected has become commonplace. Therefore, it's no surprise to see Gianni di Gregorio, the screenwriter of the uncompromising crime saga Gomorrah, making his directorial debut with Mid-August Lunch, a charming comedy of bourgeois manners, whose unforced naturalism, social insight and deceptive wit hark back to a golden age that is recalled here by MovieMail - the best place to buy classic movies and world cinema on DVD.
After two decades of propaganda and pictorialism, Italian film went back to basics after the Second World War. »
Can Sexual Provocation Still Sell?
28 October 2009 6:15 AM, PDT | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
Barring some epic year-end bombshell, Lars von Trier's "Antichrist" is sure to walk away with the designation of year's most provocative movie -- with its sadomasochistic sex, penis smashing and spontaneous clitorectomy, it rivals Nagisa Oshima's 1976 cinema scandal "In the Realm of the Senses" in its efforts to shock and offend.
It's a useful comparison. Over the years, international art cinema has often been inextricably tied to our most prurient desires. In the 1960s, foreign masterpieces were as much about championing auteurs as glimpsing a choice piece of European ass. Federico Fellini's "La Dolce Vita" was marketed with blonde bombshell Anita Ekberg dancing around in Dionysian ecstasy, while Jean-Luc Godard's "Contempt" and Luis Bunuel's "Belle De Jour" were literally sold off the naked backsides of Bridget Bardot and Catherine Deneueve. But do such depictions of outré sex still sell challenging foreign cinema today?

A Serious Man – Interview with Michael Stuhlbarg
9 October 2009 7:24 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
In A Serious Man, the latest masterwork from the Coen Brothers, former Broadway actor Michael Stuhlbarg plays Larry Gopnik, a middle aged man who seeks wisdom from his local rabbis in a time of extreme misfortune. Gopnik has so many questions, those of which are proposed by the film’s “hint of mischief,” but as the answers become more necessary, they constantly allude him.
The Scorecard Review sat down with Michael Stuhlbarg in Chicago’s new Trump Hotel to discuss many issues raised by the film, including how religion influenced the film, what it was like embodying the unfortunate character of Larry Gopnik, and even the meaning behind the rather odd opening sequence.

Let's talk about 'Mad Men's' 'Souvenir'
4 October 2009 9:28 PM, PDT | The Watcher | See recent The Watcher news »
The following post discusses "Souvenir," last night's episode of "Mad Men." I'm not feeling great tonight. It's just a head cold, but I don't think this is going to be one of my longer "Mad Men" posts. I liked the episode, which had elements of not just "The Jet Set" and "Long Weekend," but Fellini's "La Dolce Vita" as well. There was something decadent and sexy about the whole Rome plot, and after the intensity of the last couple of episodes, that was bellissimo. The good thing is, it's not as if there were a lot of hidden meanings or »

Culture Warrior: Cinemetropolis
21 September 2009 11:37 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Austin is now the third major Us city I’ve lived in since officially leaving the nest of my parents’ home in central Texas six years ago. After spending several years in both Los Angeles and New York before my current settlement in Weird City, I’ve had the fortunate chance of getting exposed to three very distinct cultures of cinephilia. In preparation for and anticipation of a week of sleeping, eating, and living exclusively in Austin’s uniquely cinephilic Alamo Drafthouse and Paramount Theater for the upcoming Fantastic Fest, this week’s Culture Warrior takes a look at three great American cities and their equally great movie theaters. Los Angeles The home of infamous movie palaces like Mann’s Chinese, Mann’s Egyptian, the ArcLight Cinerama Dome, and gigantic one-screens in Westwood frequently used to house major west coast premieres, Los Angeles is a city known for a particular type of celebration of the theatrical moviegoing »

Red Carpet: Venice, Toronto and Tilda x 7
12 September 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Which stars have been out and about this past week? Whole galaxies of them. I've collected a few randomly for this edition of the red carpet lineup. It's but a tiny fraction of the luminaries since we're now in the thick of festival season. Telluride is behind us, Venice wraps today, and Toronto just kicked off. And that's just the big ones.
Nicholas Hoult and Julianne Moore hit Venice for the premiere of A Single Man (see previous post). An Education's Carey Mulligan, quickly emerging as the one to beat for Best Actress, is going to be fought over fiercely when it comes to dressing for the Oscars, just watch. She wore this Prada 09 Fall/Winter collection piece for her film's Toronto premiere. Oscar winner Jennifer Connelly and her perpetually Oscar snubbed husband Paul Bettany were also in Toronto promoting the Charles Darwin biography / marital drama Creation.
Finally, Venice »
