Story:
After soccer superstar "Golden Leg" Fung (Ng Man
Tat) decides to take a "dishonor" check to lose an
important soccer match, his career goes down the drain as the
crowd rushes the field and beats and cripples Fung for his
missed goal. Twenty years later, Fung is a lackey for evil
soccer furor, Hung (Patrick Tse), who happens to not only used
to be the teammate Fung picked on, but now a soccer legend and
the chairman of the National Soccer League. Depressed and
broken for his reversalof fortune and the particular truths he
finds out about his accident, Fung walks the streets finding
reasons to live. Fortunately, Fung stumbles upon Sing (Stephen
Chow), a martial artists trying to find ways to bring Kung Fu
into the mainstream. Aftermuch preparation and soul searching,
Fung gathers Sing and his Shaolin brothers together to form a
team like no other: a Kung Fu based soccer team. While Sing
trains and battles it out Shaolin style in the soccer ring, he
attempts to woo Mei (Vicki Zhao Wei's), a shy, charming but
hideously-looking girl who uses her Tai Chi skills to make the
damn best mantou (steamed bread) in the world
Review: Alright. I think this needs to be said and deserves to
be spoken out loud at least 3 times a day before breakfast,
lunch and dinner.
"Stephen Chow is a golden god."
Not only that, but he's a genius in every possible way. How
this man became into being and achieved the intelligence he
has now blows my mind. Now, take a moment and think about it
and answer this next inquiry for me.
Can anyone name a good soccer movie that has ever come out?
As for the guy in the back row who said, "Lady
Bugs," you need to go find a nice long pole, lube it up
with some KY, sit on it and spin. For one, "Lady
Bugs" was not a good movie. I weep for the Jonathon
Brandis fans of the world.
But I digress...
I'm quite aware that I'm waxing Stephen Chow's car with my
little rant here, but he truly deserves all the credit for
coming up with a movie idea that meshes soccer and martial
arts together in a combo that works. But not only coming up
with an idea that is so creative and imaginative, but also
being able to execute it in the most beautiful way possible.
Everything about it falls into place just perfectly. Who would
have thought that Soccer and Kung Fu would go together like
Britney Spears and schoolgirl uniforms? Who would even
consider it?
Now imagine Stephen Chow walking into the Executive Producer's
office and sitting down and explaining to him the treatment to
his film. I imagine it would go something like this:
STEPHEN CHOW: I got an idea!
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: What is it? I hope it's not anything like
that Vampire/Ballroom Dance movie script you gave us before.
CHOW: Nah, it's even better! What do you think about a Musical
with Shaolin monks in it?
PRODUCER: Ain't feeling it. Sorry.
CHOW: Hmmm... Darn. That was going to be my Michael Wong
vehicle. Let's see... wait. I got an idea. Soccer and Kung
Fu...
PRODUCER: Interesting... You're a genius, Chow! Finally, we'll
beat that boat/love movie I've always hated! James Cameron, I
own you! Your soul shall be mine!
Perhaps not. But in a more beautiful, distant place, Shaolin
Soccer would have toppled Titanic in box office earnings. And
I'll give you two reasons why. Or why it should have.
Originality and Heart.
Not only do I find Shaolin Soccer to be a fresh breath of new
air for Hong Kong cinema, it's a martial arts comedy that has
some true heart and love. You can tell from the very beginning
that not only was there a lot of time and effort put in to
conduct a genre movie of this caliber in terms of special
effects, casting and story, but there is a certain amount
earnest and seriousness that definitely rings throughout the
picture. The first inclination of this has to be Stephen
Chow's remarkably straight-faced, Woody Allen-esque
performance of Sing.
What makes Sing so lovable in Shaolin Soccer is Chow's raw
ingenuity for exaggerated pantomimes. His facial expressions
declare a particular innocence that becomes heartwarmingly
recognizable, as if each wink and blink, and every stupid grin
he throws at you becomes a form of cinematic flirtation. His
delivery in his lines pay homage to Jerry Lewis, Richard
Pryor, Mel Brooks and even Mr. Allen himself as each sentence
that comes out of his mouth is followed by the slight chin
dropping and curious stare waiting to be recognized and given
attention to. But I'm not going to rule out the great
supporting cast that makesup Sing's fellow Shaolin brothers
that form the rest of the team. Casted from the crew of
Stephen Chow's own company, the Shaolin brothers range from a
Bruce Lee look-a-like goalie to a break dancing player. And I
can't mention enough how many times I died laughing at the
character of First Brother and his unattractively droopy face
and his "Iron Head" antics.
(Here is where I talk about Vicki Zhao Wei and how great and
beautiful she is, but can't... because the mere thought of her
ruins my pants... and I'm running out of pants.)
The cinematography is rich in providing the epic style feel to
the film and broadening the scope of the picture. Within the
hands of cinematographer Kwong Ting Wo, Shaolin Soccer is
delivers some of the most dynamic camera movements anyone has
seen in Hong Kong cinema in recent times. The raw ingenuity
and the gorgeous movement of the soccer balls as the camera
wraps around the burning, racing speed of the CG ball is quite
an extraordinary feet in preparation and execution. One
amazing shot in particular had the camera follow the ball
across the field from a bird's eye view closing in on each
pass to follow up and then out again to where Chow does a
super flying dragon kick at the ball. It really is amazing.
(Here is where I talk about Vicki Zhao Wei again… pants
less.)
Probably the one thing everyone will be talking about for a
long time after watching this film are the utterly amazing and
inventive special effects. Created by Centro Digital, the same
special effects company that engineered the magical wizardry
and electric Shaolin martial arts effects of The Storm Riders,
Shaolin Soccer not only becomes a comedic spectacle, but a
Kung Fu marvel. Though it may be easy to say that the special
effects have a certain amount of exaggerated direction, the
nuances are what make them exciting to watch. The subtle
detailing of each glowing and beautifully sculpted effects are
reminiscent of Japanese anime in the sense of style and
ambient flavor. A good example of this is in the scene where
the "Evil Team blocks Chow's first kick" where the
soccer ball starts out as a burning sunspot and into a
flaming, roaring panther.
If you really think about it, the basic story of the movie is
very spiritual. In all actuality, Sing is really a messiah, so
to speak. And all he really wants to do is spread the word of
Shaolin: "The Truth lies within us. The way of life is
Self-discovery." Soccer then becomes the metaphor for the
Earth because of the fact that it is the most viewed sporting
event in the world. Therefore, the next time someone tells me
that Shaolin Soccer was a good movie but had a weak storyline,
I'm going to tie them up and make them watch "Lady
Bugs" back to back for a month straight just to make a
point that Shaolin Soccer rocks the party that rocks the
party.

New
York City 1847. Zwei verfeindete Gangs stehen sich gegenüber.
Nach kurzer Ansprache folgt eine Schlacht wie im
Mittelalter. Keine Pistolen, nur Messer und andere
Stichwaffen werden eingesetzt. Der Gewinner wird das Gebiet
um Five Points zukünftig kontrollieren. Priest Vallon (Liam
Neeson), wird vor den Augen seines Sohnes Amsterdam von Bill
"The Butcher" (Daniel Day-Lewis) brutal ermordet.
Der Sohn wird verbannt...
Nach 16 Jahren kehrt Amsterdam (jetzt gespielt von Leonardo
DiCaprio) unerkannt wieder. Er hat nur eines im Kopf: Rache!
Doch er läßt sich Zeit. Er freundet sich mit Bill an, der
zu seinem Mentor wird. Bill kontrolliert das Gebiet um Five
Points, ist eine Art Prototyp des modernen Mafioso. Er wird
über alle Vorgänge in seinem Gebiet informiert, korrupte
Polizisten sind seine Handlanger, Politiker suchen seine
Freundschaft und Nähe.
Nach und nach erfährt Amsterdam immer mehr über Bill, was
ihn nicht unbedingt sympathischer werden läßt. Auch
Amsterdams Freundin, die Taschendiebin Jenny (Cameron Diaz),
hat mit Bill Erfahrungen gemacht, an die sie sich lieber
nicht zurückerinnert. Während Amsterdam einen Plan für
seine Rache ausarbeitet, sind die Vereinigten Staaten in
Aufruhr. Der Bürgerkrieg fordert hohe Opfer, so daß sich
Präsident Lincoln gezwungen sieht, die Wehrpflicht einzuführen.
Ein Volksaufstand droht...

Prince Caspian, the second fantasy adventure after The
Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe in British author C.S.
Lewis's beloved, Bible-based Narnia series, was first
published in 1951, with The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
(1952) just on its heels. In 1989, these two novels were
merged and adapted into a BBC TV series, and then edited
into a riveting, but rather homespun feature-length
production in two parts. In the first 59-minute episode,
Lucy, Edmund, Susan, and Peter are mysteriously whisked
back to Narnia at the call of Prince Caspian, nephew of
the cruel King Miraz, ruler of all Narnia. Miraz, who
silenced Old Narnia, wants to kill his nephew, the
rightful heir to the throne, so his own new baby son can
be king. The four siblings help the fauns, dwarves, and
talking animals of Old Narnia in Aslan's fierce battle to
drive Miraz out of Narnia.
In the second, 109-minute episode, Lucy, Edmund, and their
obnoxious cousin Eustace Scrubb have just been sucked into
a maritime painting of the Dawn Treader... and into
another dangerous adventure in which the children assist
Caspian on a voyage to rescue seven lords of Narnia,
banished under Miraz's reign, encountering invisible
armies, dragons, and their own nightmares--and sailing to
the edge of the world. Lewis's hearty, old-fashioned
battle of good vs. evil, brought to life with clashing
swords, gorgeous costumes, and some pretty darn good (if
sometimes hokey) special effects, makes for an exciting,
blustery journey to the world of Narnia.

From
Amazon.com:
The premise of The Guys is simple: A fire captain (Anthony
LaPaglia), who lost eight firemen in the fall of the World Trade
Center, asks a journalist (Sigourney Weaver) to help him compose
eulogies for these men. It's only a week after the attack; their
bodies haven't yet been found, but the families are holding
services. The writer cajoles the sometimes inarticulate and
plain-spoken captain into talking about the men--who range from
the captain's best friend to a newcomer he'd only know a few
weeks--until she's gleaned enough to piece together a tribute.
Originally a play by Anne Nelson, the movie captures much of the
texture of New York through montages woven into the storyline;
but the piece lives or dies by the performances, and both Weaver
and LaPaglia give subdued and unfancy but carefully wrought
performances that make the most of this potent material. --Bret

From
Amazon.com:
There's A Mighty Wind a-blowin', along with the gales of
laughter you'll get from Christopher Guest's third exercise in
brilliant "mockumentary." After tackling small-town
theatricals in Waiting for Guffman and obsessive dog-show
contestants in Best in Show, Guest and his reliable stable of
repertory players (including Fred Willard, Parker Posey, and
Bob Balaban) apply their improvisational genius to a
latter-day reunion of fictional '60s-era folk singers, a
comedic goldmine that Guest first explored 30 years earlier on
The National Lampoon Radio Hour. Collaborating with costar and
cowriter Eugene Levy (who gives the film's funniest
performance), Guest is so delicate in his satirical approach
that the laughs aren't always obvious, and the subtlety can be
as wistful (as in Catherine O'Hara's performance as Levy's
auto-harpist partner) as it is hilarious. Some may wish for
more blatant comedy, but that would compromise the genuine
affection that Guest & Co. have for the music they're
spoofing. --Jeff Shannon --

Russian
filmmaker Alexander Sokurov broke boundaries with his
dreamlike vision of the Hermitage in St. Petersburg,
Russian Ark. It's the first feature-length narrative film
shot in a single take (on digital video, using a specially
designed disc instead of tape). Russian Ark is shot from
the point-of-view of an unseen narrator, as he explores
the museum and travels through Russian history. The
audience sees through his eyes as he witnesses Peter the
Great (Maksim Sergeyev) abusing one of his generals;
Catherine the Great (Maria Kuznetsova) desperately
searching for a bathroom; and, in the grand finale, the
sumptuous Great Royal Ball of 1913. The narrator is
eventually joined by a sarcastic and eccentric 19th
century French Marquis (Sergey Dreiden), who travels with
him throughout the huge grounds, encountering various
historical figures and viewing the legendary artworks on
display. While the narrator only interacts with the
Marquis (he seems to be invisible to all the other
inhabitants), the Marquis occasionally interacts with
visitors and former residents of the museum. The film was
obviously shot in one day, but the cast and crew rehearsed
for months to time their movements precisely with the flow
of the camera while capturing the complex narrative, with
elaborate costumes from different periods, and several
trips out to the exterior of the museum. Tillman Buttner,
the director of photography, was responsible for capturing
it all in one single Steadicam shot.

Paul
Newman plays Reggie Dunlop, the coach of a pathetic
minor-league American hockey team. His career at a
standstill and his marriage in tatters, Dunlop has
nothing to lose by taking on a new group of players
who are one evolutionary step above Neanderthals. Only
when the team begins winning does he decide to get
behind these players, and to encourage the rest of the
team to play as down-and-dirty as the newcomers.
Straight-arrow team member Ned Braden (Michael
Ontkean) resents this influx of gonzo talent,
preferring to play clean. As the film's multitude of
subplots play themselves out, Dunlop does his best to
keep the outraged Braden on the team. Slap Shot is the
sort of film for which the "R" rating was
invented: Its nonstop barrage of profanity and its
raunchy action sequences are of such intensity that
the film will probably never be shown intact on
commercial television.
