Melodrama Masterpiece | Rental Review of “Broken Embraces”
Pedro Almodovar is held in very high esteem in the film community, and it is films like Broken Embraces that put him on that pedestal. To see an Almodovar film is to go on a journey filled with tragic characters, beautiful imagery, and a soul tearing story. Broken Embraces will have you from its flickering first haunting image, to its tear inducing last. Read the rest of this entry »
Oscar Winners
Overall, this years awards went down as expected and were kind of bland. I kept hoping for an upset, but the biggest one I got was Geoffrey Fletcher winning Best Adapated Screeplay for Precious over Jason Reitman’s script for Up in the Air. It was cool seeing Kathryn Bigelow become the first woman to win in the directing category. Dito, as for seeing “The Dude” himself, Jeff Bridges, win for Crazy Heart. The Hurt Locker had a big night sweeping all the major awards including Best Picture. For me though the best part of the entire show was the cutting of the Best Original Song performances from the telecast. Here’s hoping that change is here to stay. See all the winners below in bold.

Ahoy, C***suckers!
It was announced today that everyone’s favorite angry, cursing brothel owner Ian McShane is “in talks” to be the villain in “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides”. The fourth installment of the Disney series will follow the story of Jack Sparrow’s (Johnny Depp) search for the Fountain of Youth. McShane would play the famous pirate Blackbeard. Have to admit, I just got a little excited about this movie. One of the best parts of the second “Pirates” flick was Bill Nighy’s glee-filled scenery chewing as the tentacled Davy Jones. There’s no doubt that if Ian McShane gets his hands on the infamous Blackbeard, he’ll do a good amount of gnawing as well. But, if given the chance, he could also be quite an intimidating villain. McShane would join Depp and Penelope Cruz on this Rob Marshall-helmed “Pirates” ship.
Side note: Rob Marshall directing? Does that mean we may see a “Pirate’s Life for Me” song and dance number on the Black Pearl? Something to think about…
