Hello Film Fans and Fanatics!!!
This weeks releases include a lot of writer/director works, all but one are just that! We also have our first Canadian release of the year with Ross Weber's Mount Pleasant. The remaining releases are all across the board from romantic comedy (Catch and Release) to teen comedy (Epic Movie) to horror (Blood and Chocolate) to action (Smokin' Aces).
If none of those tickle your fancy, you can peruse the Oscar nominations film, announced earlier this week. How exciting! Some of the nominations didn't come as a huge surprize (Dreamgirls, Babel, The Queen) and some, at least for me, did (Blood Diamond with 5, Apocalypto with 3). I've very happy to see that Little Miss Sunshine is up for quite a few, what an amazing film. I'm surprized I haven't seen more of the nominated films, only 7 as of the time when the nominations were announced. I wonder how many I'll make it through this year! How about you?
Have a great weekend!

Snow Cake
Dir: Marc Evans (My Little Eye, Resurrection Man)
Cast: Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Carrie-Ann Moss, Emily Hampshire, David Fox, James Allodi, Jayne Eastwood, Callum Keith Rennie
UK/Canada, 2006
Seen: Jan 17, 2007 at the Carlton
Reason to see: It's Canadian! It's nominated for 4 Genies (Cinematography, Actress in a Leading Role: Sigourney Weaver, Actress in a Supporting Role: Carrie-Ann Moss, Emily Hampshire)
This is week 4/52 of my third attempt for#7 on my 101 list: See 1 film a week in the theatre for a year.
This film has one of my favourite themes: Unconventional relationships. People who are different, by choice or by chance and how they function (or don't). It dances around fascinating topics such as setting boundaries, letting people in, people with different needs, the same event being experienced in different ways. This lends itself to show a wide range of moments from wondrous to awkward, touching to abrupt, confusion to clarity. Great acting, great characters and great location: Wawa, Ontario. Gotta love it.
The only thing I found a little weird is that it's a Canadian (co-pro) and neither of the principle actors are Canadian. But, on the whole I'm not going to let that get to me as all of the performances are wonderful. It's also great to see such familiar faces in different roles.
Favourite quote" "I don't like normal people, I like useful people."

I enjoyed it
I'll watch it again
I'd recommend it

Curse of the Golden Flower / Man cheng jin dai huang jin jia
Dir: Zhang Yimou (House of the Flying Daggers / Shi mian mau fu, Hero / Ying xiong)
Cast: Chow-Yun Fat, Gong Li, Jay Chou, Qin Junjie, Liu Ye, Li Man
Hong Kong/China, 2006
Seen in Mandarin with English Subtitles
Seen: Jan 11, 2007 at the Cumberland
Reason to see: I've enjoyed the Zhang Yimou's previous work as well as Chow-Yun Fat's. Add to that it's a historical epic. This is week 3/52 of my third attempt for#7 on my 101 list: See 1 film a week in the theatre for a year.
I didn't know too much about this film I had pretty much only heard that it was 'beautiful' and oh it is... it is. The colour and design elements are so phenomenal. I swear I could get high off the colour in this film for its saturation level and beauty. I wanted to BE there. I wanted to TOUCH the walls, carpets, costumes. Absolutely amazing, I was giddy.
But, it isn't all about the colour right? Well.... not with this film, besides from that it was still really good. A very interesting story and strong characters. The performances were wonderful, in particular Gong Li, Qin Junjie and of course Chow-Yun Fat. The story unfolded beautifully, neither too quickly nor drawn out too long. I felt really pulled into the world that it created, it was so rich and so full the details were just amazing be it visual or sound or plot.
There is some violence though, and moment/idea in particular that I wished I hadn't seen. Other than that one it's akin to the martial arts/action genre. Well worth while seeing this in the theatre if you can.
Shannon's Overall View:
I enjoyed it
I'll watch it again
I'd recommend it - there is a fair bit of violence & some cruelty so I would forewarn for those sensitive

Monkey Warfare
Writer/Dir: Reginald Harkema (A Girl is a Girl)
Cast: Don McKellar, Tracy Wright, Nadia Litz
Canada, 2006
Seen: Jan 4, 2007 at the Royal
Reason to see: It's Canadian! It is part of Canada's Top Ten 2006.
This is week 2/52 of my third attempt for#7 on my 101 list: See 1 film a week in the theatre for a year.
What do you value? What is valuable? What are your values? How far are you willing to go? Will you cross the line... if is there a line? Will you stomp all over it, hide behind it, push someone over it? If crossed, can you ever turn back?
Monkey Warfare is a great Canadian film set in Toronto's Parkdale neighbourhood. I have to admit, I love the Canadian-ness of this film. Seeing people ride crappy looking bikes while smoking and wearing worn jeans, just feels so Toronto. The characters feel real and all three actors did such an excellent job portraying them. Personally, I was particularly fond of Tracy Wright's performance as Linda. I'm not going to reveal the plot, it is worth seeing it unfold for yourself. Enjoy.

What a wonderful short film! Very textural and expressed a huge range of emotions succinctly in such a short time. A delightful treat.

Film Fan Fridays for Friday January 19, 2007!!
Hello Film Fans and Fanatics!!!
We have three releases this week. In some ways I love how quiet January is, makes it feel like it is actually possible to get out to everything! Well everything you want to see. One of this weeks films is a remake of a 1986 film of the same name: The Hitcher. We also have Venus which some say is a Peter O'Toole Oscar vehicle and when I heard the premise it sounded slightly creepy but factoring Roger Michell (Notting Hill) as the director and further previews it looks like it may be quite a tender film. I am going to keep this one in mind. 13 Tzameti is out in a very limited release (1 theatre only - The Royal) and sounds very interesting. I've never heard of a film from Georgia before (located in southwest Asia between Russia and Turkey... not the US State). That alone has caught my curiosity.
It was fun, as always, to see the Golden Globe this week. It could be because most of the people I was rooting for won (read: anything Dreamgirls). There were some wonderful acceptance speeches including Jennifer Hudson, Helen Mirren, Meryl Streep and Forest Whitaker whom wins the wonderfully 'overwhelmed can't speak but then does' speech (for film - America Ferrara takes the tv cake). It would have been nicer if they let the winners speak for longer though!! Gee whiz.
One awards show down, and another crops up! The big cheese: Oscar nominations will be announced this Tuesday Jan 23rd, 2007 at 5:30 PST/8:30 EST. I know where I'll be!! http://www.oscar.com clicking 'Refresh' like mad!

Film Fan Fridays for Friday January 12, 2007!!
Hello Film Fans and Fanatics!!!
I did a double take when I saw that Luc Besson directed Arthur and the Invisibles, and animated family film. This from the director of La Femme Nikita and The Professional? Should be interesting. I can't help but mention dance movie Stomp the Yard although being pitched as 'more than a dance film but a coming of age story'. Aren't all dance films coming of age stories? And about someone from the wrong side of the tracks? Dance bridges all other barriers. That one goes on the list for sure!
Two of this weeks releases are Golden Globe nominees: Miss Potter and Letters from Iwo Jima. Not much time to see them before the awards on Monday Jan 15/07, but it sure is possible! I always find The Globes fun to watch, everyone is so relaxed and the speeches feel very spontaneous.
More awards news, the Genie nominations were announced this week! The two heavy hitters are Maurice Richard / The Rocket (with 13 nominations) and Bon Cop, Bad Cop (with 10 nominations). Although both films were great I think I'm gonna be rooting for Maurice Richard / The Rocket, as it was an excellent film in so many ways. Considering both Colm Feore and Patrick Huard are nominated for Best Actor from Bon Cop, Bad Cop I really think that Roy Dupuis has a good chance at taking that home - and he deserves it for one of the best performances I've seen in a long time. I'm so thrilled that I got out to more Canadian film this year and have seen many of the titles. The Genie's will be presented Tuesday February 13, 2007.
Have a great weekend!

**please note this list of releases reflects first run film released in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on Jan 12, 2007**
I did a double take when I saw that Luc Besson directed Arthur and the Invisibles, and animated family film. This from the director of La Femme Nikita and The Professional? Should be interesting. I can't help but mention dance movie Stomp the Yard although being pitched as 'more than a dance film but a coming of age story'. Aren't all dance films coming of age stories? And about someone from the wrong side of the tracks? Dance bridges all other barriers. That one goes on the list for sure!

Film Fan Fridays for Friday January 5th, 2007!!
Hello Film Fans and Fanatics!!!
Happy New Year Everyone! One thing you can count on with the first week of releases is it is always nice and quiet. After all the holiday blockbusters and holding-out-for-as-long-as-they-can Oscar hopefuls, the beginning of the new year of releases are a lot calmer. Only 3 releases this week, and no Canadian (boohoo!) but they are varied so hopefully we will all find something out there that is interesting.
Have a great weekend!
