  • FilmRyan’s Thoughts On The Oscars

    I have decided to put my thoughts on these impending Oscars into words.
    As a Brit, I have to stay up ridiculously late whilst the rest of the nation sleep.
    Two Oscars ago, myself and friends all illegally streamed it together whilst MSN’ing each other our thoughts. As I will no doubt find myself deprived of sleep at the monumental time, I feel slightly aggrieved that one friend is in the US and another is in Japan, which means they will be up anyway when the Oscars are happening. Deprived of sleep and now companionship, I will still experience that magical witching hour (or rather four or five) when it seems as if all the world is asleep apart from me and The BFG will turn up to see Kate Winslet cry too. Tomorrow is a new day, and if I had a job to go to, people would denounce my behaviour as lunacy. Alas I do not have a job, but an interview in 12 hours or so, but that won’t let that stop me staying up past me bedtime.

    Although, I feel this sacrifice should only be worthy if I were rewarded with a presenter of calibre. What about a Jew I hear you cry. Why not?! Larry David? Not yet that worldly familiar. Woody Allen? What a brilliant choice. But all those naysayers, “Oh but he bummed a child”. Jerry Seinfeld? Didn’t he too? But I always preferred Kramer in Seinfeld. Now he would go down well. Hmm… maybe not.

    Anyway. My predictions and thoughts for the awards.
    So Best Film.
    Benjamin Button should be applauded for its special effects, but the story was too saccharine (Forrest Gump meets Cocoon anyone?), and if for a second you take away that Benjamin Button ages backwards, the story is not interesting and features characters that are not dynamic enough to be engaging.
    Frost/Nixon was suspenseful, interesting and good to watch, but so too was Saved By The Bell. Frost/Nixon is too TV like and how can you take this serious by the same director who reveres Dan Brown. Yes, you Richie from that show Happy Days.
    Milk and The Reader were alright, and featured good performances but were ultimately flawed. It’s a crying shame that The Dark Knight and The Wrestler weren’t nominated instead. I’ll just repeat that as I’m still hurting. The Dark Knight and The Wrestler weren’t nominated. Pontificate the Academy should.
    Slumdog Millionaire is engaging throughout, shot energetically, with authentic and thoughtful performances, and a storyline that makes you root for the central character. I think Slumdog Millionaire should definitely win Best Picture. For many the same reasons I feel Danny Boyle should win Best Director.

    Mickey Rourke undoubtedly deserves to pick up Best Actor. Do I need to explain?!
    I think Kate Winslet was good in The Reader but her performance is not Oscar worthy, if such a term exists. Kate Winslet is a great actress but her recent performances in Revolutionary Road and Little Children surpass this and I would prefer to see relative newcomer Mellissa Leo to win Best Actress for her role in Frozen River.
    Heath Ledger deserves to win Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal as The Joker as I’m sure he will. Every time I watch The Dark Knight, his performance gives me goosebumps and a fright, and I always notice something else he does that I missed the last time.
    I would like to see Marisa Tomei pickup the Best Supporting Actress gong as her role is crucial for Mickey Rourke’s character in The Wrestler, although Penelope Cruz stole the silver screened show in VCB.

    I think Milk will win Best Film editing, but I think it’s editing is of standard fayre, and Slumdog Millionaire should win as its editing is intrinsic to keeping the audience engaged and interested, and along with its score it has a vivacious energy. Best Adapted Screenplay should go to Slumdog Millionaire as the structure allows for the audience to get to know the central characters whilst maintaining suspense and tension throughout.
    Further to this end, I’d like to see Slumdog Millionaire pick up Best Cinematography, Best Score, and Best Song for Jai Ho. I think The Dark Knight comes in a close second for Best Cinematography and would like to The Dark Knight pick up the Best Sound editing and Best Sound mixing awards.
    Just to note, Bruce Springsteen’s song for The Wrestler should have been nominated and won. I’m appalled at the academy for not nominating Bruce. Again I will repeat this for effect. I’m appalled at the academy for not nominating Bruce.

    For Best Original Screenplay, I don’t want Milk to win and think that In Bruges, Frozen River, Happy-Go-Lucky are all great little scripts, that are more deserving.
    Although I haven’t seen 2 of the nominees for Best Foreign Film, I feel that Waltz With Bashir should win, although The Class and The Baader Meinhof Complex were very good and close contenders.

    The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button should win for Best Visual effects, however as most of the aging on Brad Pitt was done through special FX, rather than make-up, it should win Best Visual effects and not makeup. Instead that award should (but won’t) go to The Dark Knight as The Joker’s makeup is now iconic. Hellboy 2 deserves a mention but as it’s a sequel, most of the accomplishment was achieved for the first Hellboy.

    I don’t really like any of the nominees for Best Animated feature film but I’d say the award should go to Wall-E, especially for its courageous absence of dialogue during the first half making it almost a silent film. If it weren’t for its stinking advertising, I’d almost like the film. One of the other nominees Kung-Fu Panda also stinks, but the director made a great little short called Made which is mind-bogglingly brilliant, and you should look it up and watch now. Trust Ry, that’s what I say. You can buy a T-shirt with that slogan on from www.filmryan.com now.

    My predictions for the Oscars are:
    Best Picture – Slumdog Millionaire
    Best Director – Danny Boyle
    Best Actor – Mickey Rourke
    Best Actress – Kate Winslet
    Best Supp Actor – Heath Ledger
    Best Supp Actress – Penelope Cruz
    Best Cinematography. – Slumdog Millionaire
    Best Original Screenplay – Milk
    Best Adapted Screenplay – Slumdog Millionaire
    Best Foreign Film – Waltz With Bashir
    Best Score – Slumdog Millionaire
    Best Song – Jai Ho – Slumdog Millionaire
    Best Animated feature film – Wall-E
    Best Art direction – The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button
    Best Costume design – The Duchess
    Best Documentary feature – Man On Wire
    Best Film editing – Milk
    Best Make-up – The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button
    Best Sound editing – The Dark Knight
    Best Sound mixing – The Dark Knight
    Best Visual effects – The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button

    Trust Ry.

  • Scott Pilgrim, It’s Totally Gonna Rock Ultimate

    So it’s that time of year again, as if you need telling. I t’s a time to talk about films, the films we’ve seen and the ones we’re looking forward to.

    I was planning on writing about the films up for Best Picture tonight. But there’s already smarter people than yours truly talking about this.

    Instead I’m looking to the future. It won’t be long now until Watchmen, Zack Snyder’s adaptation of the classic graphic novel, hits cinemas. Zack Snyder’s doing his best, throwing all the slow mo effects he can muster into the film.

    There are some great actors on board, including Jackie Earle Haley as Rorshach. Haley gave a fantastic performance in Little Children, which if you haven’t, you should see by the way. Yes, that’s right, you.
    Unfortunately we’ve all seen films of Moore’s work go wrong many times, from V For Vendetta to whatever the hell League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen was meant to be. Then there’s the ending of the book being changed, and the news that My Chemical Romance have done a Bob Dylan cover for the film.

    Now I know I’l have to learn to live in a world with My Chemical Romance, but I just can’t do it. So I want to like this film, but just in case I don’t, thank God for Scott Pilgrim.

    Starring Michael Cera (Superbad) and directed by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead), Scott Pilgrim Vs The World is a adapted from a series of manga inspired graphic novels that follow our titular hero, a 20 something slacker living in Toronto, whose top priorities in life are to play in his band, ‘Sex Bob-omb’, play videogames and date a cute high school girl. He is described at the beginning as ‘Scott Pilgrim, 23, rating : Awesome’. Everything’s cool and simple until delivery girl Romana Flowers walks into Scott’s life, and his dreams, and turns everything up side down

    The movie, which also stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Death Proof) and Alison Pill (Milk), is adapted from the series of Canadian graphic novels of the same name, written and drawn by Bryan Lee O’Malley.

    The art of the books is inspired by Manga, following Scott as he stumbles through life in the big city, his friends and the girl he falls in love with. Things get a bit more complicated when it turns out Romona can travel through Scott’s dreams via subspace, and to date her he has to fight each of her seven evil exes (it’s a different ex for each book, with six books overall). The books are funny, cool, and become more emotionally complex with each new volume.

    It makes perfect sense that Edgar Wright should be directing, after his work on the TV show Spaced, a programme about similiar themes and steeped in popular culture.

    Scott Pilgrim, too, is about a group of people whose lives are influenced by the music, films, and video games they like. The plot itself is derivative of video game structure.

    And like Spaced, the themes at work here are much deeper than it might at first seem. The friendships and group dynamic of the books change and evolve over time, and Scott himself starts to grow up. The themes become more adult and layered, and the fight scenes become less important than the relationships between the characters.’ It’s basically awesome.

    This could also be a real chance for Michael Cera to shine. I’m not saying he hasn’t been good in his other work, but Scott’s is a boisterious and over confident character that could be a great departure for Cera. In short, I’m excited about this film. Shooting starts in March so there’s a while to wait, in Scott Pilgrim‘s words you might say “the future…….what like with jet packs?” But it’s worth the wait and until then you could always check out volume one, Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life.

    So anyone else got that pre-Christmas type feeling about a new movie coming out? Anyone looking forward to Scott Pilgrim? Turn the page.

  • The Week in Film by Robert Mann – Week Starting 20/2/09

    Push ****

    It’s very likely that you will never have heard of the director at the helm of Push. After all, despite having been directing films for more than ten years, Paul McGuigan has led a largely unspectacular career, with the majority of his films not only failing to make an impression at the box office but also failing to make much of an impression on critics or moviegoers either. However, in 2006, McGuigan directed a film that brought him further into the spotlight and showed what he is really capable of. That film was Lucky Number Slevin, a project that didn’t sound like much on paper but proved to be one of the most pleasantly surprising movies in some time, packed full clever twists and stylish touches. On paper Push also sounds distinctly unspectacular, coming across like a cheap knock-off of last year’s Jumper or TV show Heroes. However, the involvement of McGuigan seems to provide assurance that the film won’t be just Jumper 2 or Heroes: The Movie but rather a film that can stand on its own merits.

    Nick Gant (Chris Evans) is a young American living in Hong Kong, who has an ability that allows him to control objects with his mind. He is just one of many people with a variety of different abilities all around the world, all of whom have been artificially manufactured by a government agency known as The Division, which is seeking to create the perfect weapon, and is hunting down rogue people with abilities. After escaping The Division, as a young boy, Nick now spends his days using his ability to help him clear debts that he owes, until one day when everything changes. Cassie Holmes (Dakota Fanning), a 13 year old with the ability to see the future approaches Nick, asking for his help in locating a woman who has escaped The Division and has in her possession a suitcase containing something that can bring the organisation down. Reluctantly agreeing to help Cassie, Nick finds himself coming face to face with old flame Kira Hudson (Camilla Belle), the woman who Cassie is looking for, but they find that her memory has been erased, and she cannot remember where the suitcase is. With The Division’s top man Henry Carver (Djimon Hounsou) sending in all the best agents he has in their pursuit, and a rival Chinese group also after them, time is running out for Nick, Cassie and Kira find the case, and they must work together, utilizing their different talents, to escape The Division once and for all.

    The plot of Push is a very complex one, with each different type of ability being given its own name, and at times it does get slightly confusing keeping up with which name refers to which ability. Also, some of the core plot points are quite tricky to follow, making it necessary to pay close attention to everything that is going on in the film, especially the opening introduction which establishes the back-story and pre-opening credits sequence that establishes a major plot device. However, while the story isn’t incredibly easy to follow at times, it is hard to deny that it is very clever, with some genuinely surprising plot twists and a smart resolution that brings together everything sufficiently, even if it doesn’t fully provide closure. The action sequences, while not being that big or that many, are well executed, and the use of practical effects where possible, as opposed to CGI is very effective. Despite the low budget, the effects are very good and quite eye-catching. The film is also quite visually appealing in other areas too. The vast, vibrant metropolis of Hong Kong is a good backdrop for the film’s events and everything is captured well thanks to some very good cinematography. The only gripe is that at times the use of hand held camera is slightly distracting. The direction is also strong, with Paul McGuigan making quite a refreshing film out of a concept that seems quite tired and overdone. On the acting front, the performances are hit and miss. On the upside, the standout performance is undoubtedly that of Dakota Fanning, who delivers a very mature performance, and shows that she is really developing as an actress, and effectively making the transition from child actress to adult actress. Djimon Hounsou is also good, delivering a suitably sinister performance as the chief villain of the film. On the downside, Chris Evans, despite being an entertaining screen presence, isn’t especially convincing and doesn’t do anything that makes him really stand out. His performance isn’t particularly bad but not especially good either. As for Camilla Belle, hardly anything is actually required of her for the most part, but she does serve the purpose of her character quite effectively. All in all, Push is a stylish and enjoyable action thriller that has more than enough distinguishing features to make it stand apart from the other super-powered movies out there, even if it never quite reaches the heights that would allow it to stand as an equal alongside them.

    Confessions Of A Shopaholic ***

    Based on the bestselling book series by Sophie Kinsella, Confessions Of A Shopaholic is the latest addition to the ever growing list of chick flicks aimed at more mature female viewers, following in the footsteps of such successful films as The Devil Wears Prada and Sex And The City. When the film initially went into development, it seemed like a sure-fire hit that had the potential to be just as successful as those aforementioned films. However, in the light of the current economic recession, what once seemed like a film that couldn’t possibly fail has become one of the few films to actually find itself hurt by the economic crisis by underperforming at the US box office, with the film’s central themes seeming rather less appealing in these hard times. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the film is unappealing however, just that it no longer offers the level of escapism that it would have in different circumstances.

    Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher) is a 25 year old New York City girl who, since childhood, has been obsessed with shopping, and now whenever she sees a store she can’t control the urge to shop, and she has found herself building up huge debts on her many credit cards. Unable to pay off the debts with the income she gets from her journalism job, she finds herself in even greater trouble when the magazine she works for is shut down and she loses her job. Attempting to land a job at fashion magazine Alette, where she has always dreamed of working, she finds the position already filled by someone on the inside and she ends up working for Successful Savings magazine, proving a huge hit with her column entitled The Girl in the Green Scarf, where she makes finances easier to understand by discussing them in terms of fashion and shopping. Her hope is that she can work her way up the ladder towards a job at Alette, but an attraction to her boss Luke Brandon (Hugh Dancy) shows her what true love is for the first time and makes her question what she really wants. With the world at her feet, everything seems to be on the up but for the fact that her shopping obsession is out of control, much to the dismay of her best friend and roommate Suze (Krysten Ritter). Being pursued by a debt collector who is determined to catch up with her at any cost, she realizes that her shopping addiction is never going to bring her true happiness but can she overcome it before the truth about her debts is revealed to Luke and it ruins her life forever?

    In a distinctly similar vein to 2006’s The Devil Wears Prada, Confessions Of A Shopaholic could have rivaled that film in the quality department. Sadly, however, it fails to even come close, and this is not because its themes are less appealing at the moment, but rather that the film generally isn’t as good as it could have been. There are certainly some good things to be said about it though. Isla Fisher is perfectly cast in the lead role, excellently capturing the essence of the character and delivering a sincere and likable performance. The rest of the cast are also decent, with John Goodman and Joan Cusack appearing as Rebecca’s parents and Leslie Bibb as job rival Alicia Billington, but they are all completely outshone by Fisher. The romance between Fisher and co-star Hugh Dancy is sweet, but sadly the romance is greatly underplayed, and this is where the film’s faults begin. Throughout, the film fails to be completely engaging, with the humour never really taking off (with a few exceptions) and the light-hearted approach negating the impact of the more serious elements somewhat. The film does have some interesting insights to offer but isn’t as hard hitting as it could be, failing to put anything across in an incredibly insightful or thoughtful manner. Also, it drags a bit in places, not necessarily because it is too long, but rather because it just doesn’t have a very good narrative flow. The main reason the film doesn’t work as well as it could have is probably the direction. The script, while being far from spectacular, is mostly well done, with some quite clever touches, but ultimately director P.J. Hogan fails to really capture the essence or provide a film that is as enjoyable or as interesting as this could have been. Having directed romcoms from the 90s Muriel’s Wedding and My Best Friend’s Wedding, Hogan may have seemed like a good choice to direct this, but whatever he had back then he seems to have lost now, and this film suffers for it. All in all, Confessions Of A Shopaholic isn’t a bad film but it most definitely not a great one either. A film that is easy to enjoy but hard to love, there is no doubt that many female viewers will find an appreciation for it, but with the exception of Fisher herself nothing stands out, with most aspects of the film being merely average when compared to other similar movies.

  • Top 10 Movie Animals

    Since the dawn of film, animals have played a major role in movie-making. From loyal side-kick to raging beast to city-destroying monster, movies would be a lot poorer without them. In this feature we count down what, in my opinion, are the ten greatest movie animals ever!

    The criteria for the list were difficult to come up with, being as it is an extremely subjective matter. Not only does inherent bias towards certain types of animal play a part but bias towards particular films too! Like all lists of this nature, the author’s own favouritism pulls all the strings so by no means is this meant to be the final word on our non-human cinematic antagonists!

    Let the countdown begin!

    10) The spider from Arachnophobia.

    The smallest animal on the list is also one of the most deadly. Hitching a ride in the coffin of it’s first victim, this merciless arachnid starts as he means to go on. After surviving a bird attack (the bird never) he begins to terrorise a small neighbourhood and even manages to find a mate, spawning hundreds of mini-killers! The movie is named after one of the most common human fears and the star of the show certainly doesn’t disappoint. This huge tarantula provides us with both funny and genuinely frightening scenes that have had us checking the insides of our shoes and cereal boxes ever since.

    9) Totoro from My Neighbour Totoro.


    I think anyone who’s seen My Neighbour Totoro falls immediately in love with the title character. He’s big, soft and friendly and I think any child would love to have one of their own. He gives the children in this movie hope and friendship when they need it most and perhaps they give him the same in return. Even if you’re not a fan of animé I urge anyone to see this film especially if you have children to watch it with you.

    8) Falkor The Luck Dragon from The Neverending Story.

    The Neverending Story is a lot of people’s favourite childhood film. Ask those people what they remember first from the movie and most would say Falkor the Luck Dragon. This huge, white, furry dragon is hard not to love with his gentle nature and noble spirit. He relies on sheer luck to get him through most situations and this seems to make him all the more amiable.

    7) The Rancor from Star Wars: Episode VI – Return Of The Jedi.


    In movies that are perhaps more famous for epic space battles and glowy sticks, the Rancor stands out as one of the most memorable creatures across the whole franchise and takes part in one of the best sequences. Luke Skywalker very nearly becomes lunch for the Rancor in Episode VI and was pretty lucky to escape his claws. This towering 30-odd foot monster is actually an arachnid. If it was a real animal I’m pretty sure arachnophobics would be taken a lot more seriously if Arachnophobia hadn’t done the job! I always thought it was a shame we didn’t get to see more Rancor action in the new trilogy, given as we were several other sub-par creations, none of which matched up to the meanest and ugliest of them all. I think we all shared in his handler’s sorrow when he is finally defeated at the hands of the Jedi Knight.

    6) Timon and Pumbaa from The Lion King.


    I suppose the list was bound to have at least one Disney animal so I decided I’d cheat and enter these two as one character. The Lion King gave us two of the most genuinely funny and likeable characters Disney have ever made. After being cast out of the pride, Simba bumps into this crazy Meercat and Warthog duo as he is wandering through a jungle. Once they realise he’s not going to eat them they soon become his best friends. Not only that, they become his mentors as he grows from but a tiny cub to the eventual king of the pride. Without this unlikely, yet believably heroic pair, Simba would no doubt never have returned to free the plains of Scar’s rule of tyranny. When we first meet them they haven’t a care in the world. By the end they show their true bravery and for that we’ll never forget them.

    5) Babe from Babe.

    He may be small and humble but he has a heart as big as anyone. And it was Babe who captured everyone else’s heart when he first appeared on screen back in 1995. Naïve but smart, Babe quickly learns about life on the farm and just how tough it can be when you’re the only piglet. Soon though he finds he has a talent. Using his charm and good manners he is able to “out-sheep-dog” the sheep-dogs and becomes the first ever sheep-pig! It is only the farmer and the viewer who has any faith in him but by the fantastic climax he is loved by all, even the disgruntled dogs. We’d seen talking live-action animals before, but this self-titled porcine adventure raised the bar and set the standard with it’s seamless blend of effects and animatronics.

    4) King Kong from King Kong.

    Arguably the most famous movie animal of all time. Even if you’ve never seen any of the King Kong movies you will still know exactly what he is. This giant ape has appeared in several movies but the three most people think of are the original 1933 incarnation and the 1976 and 2005 remakes. Kong’s story is one of discovery, love and ultimately tragedy. There are many giant movie animals I could have picked but Kong is my favourite for a few reasons. He has intelligence to match his size and he behaves in a much more realistic manner than most other movie monsters. Kong doesn’t just turn up one day and start wreaking havoc for the sake of it. It’s the humans who turn up. They capture him, taking him back with them, which inevitably leads to his destruction. It is his attachment to, and protection of, a terrified woman that endears us to him. By the end we mourn the events and reflect on the real monsters within ourselves.

    3) Gromit from Wallace And Gromit.

    It’s easy to lose count of the number of times Gromit has saved Wallace’s bacon (or should that be cheese?) and everyone’s favourite stop-motion canine is fully deserving of a place on a list of all-time great movie animals. This dog-genius plays the classic smart side-kick to a hapless hero perfectly and most fans would name him as their most-loved character by a long way. His patience with his clumsy owner knows no bounds, and we are forever feeling sorry for this poor dog who is perhaps too loyal for his own good! We all know that look to the camera, the sigh or the shrug. His slumped-shouldered, eye-rolling resignation to each situation his clumsy owner gets them both into always make us smile and his resourcefulness and bravery keep us on the edge of our seats. Gromit shows us all what it means to be “man’s best friend”.

    2) The Great White Shark from Jaws. (The Shark itself is usually referred to as Jaws too).


    The film that gave us the Summer blockbuster also gave is probably one of the scariest movie animals ever seen. Although somewhat unrealistic in it’s portrayal of an evil, calculating fish (not to mention suspiciously rubber-looking), Jaws still thrills us to this day.

    Jaws, unlike some monsters, does not come to land and try and confront the screaming humans in their own back yard. Rather he waits for them to come to him. Whilst humans make pretty good swimmers we aren’t exactly made for the open sea. This is a fact that our favourite Great White Shark exploits perfectly. It is this sense of helplessness that brings on the fear in the viewer. Unsuspecting holiday-makers, carelessly splashing around, unaware of the impending shadowy doom that awaits them. Jaws sticks in our minds because he was smart, huge, dangerous and always hungry. Sharks are amongst the most finely evolved killers on the planet and Jaws definitely reminded us of this.

    1) The Tyranosaurus Rex (or T-Rex) from Jurassic Park.

    The best dinosaur film of all time is undoubtedly going to give us the best movie dino’ of all time. It was a tough decision between the T-Rex and the Velociraptors but after careful consideration I went for the big girl. I loved the ‘Raptors but didn’t choose them for two reasons: They were unrealistically portrayed as 6 foot man-eaters when in fact they were no bigger than a turkey and, secondly, they attack the T-Rex and she kicks their arses!

    The T-Rex is Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park is the T-Rex (her skull is even the logo!). The film has dozens of memorable moments but nobody ever forgets the ripples on the water, the disappearing goat (and subsequent reappearing leg), the lawyer on the toilet, the car chase and the aforementioned confrontation with the ‘Raptors.

    Every schoolboy’s favourite dinosaur was flawlessly brought to life on to the big screen in Spielberg’s masterpiece. With special effects that still outdo a lot of films some 16 years later, most people remember this as the first time they sat in a movie theatre and saw truly realistic computer generated creatures on the screen. This was largely down to the conservative way the technology was used as opposed to now when it is clearly much, much over-used.

    Like in King Kong, we can sympathise with this majestic creature who is created in artificial circumstances – except this time it is the humans who end up out of their depth. The viewer is left in quiet awe of these prehistoric creatures and their feathered descendants.
