Walken dances! And sings! Reason enough to catch John Turturro's 2005 film that scored only a limited release in September of 2007. I enjoyed this imperfect, but still entertaining flick. Check it on DVD and read more about my thoughts on the film at Scarlett Cinema!
I loved Ang Lee's Hulk when it was released in 2003, and I still love it now in 2008. It was 
Also seen was director Eran Kolirin's The Band's Visit, which was fun and funny, and a very nice look at Israeli landscape that is all but Martian to me. Kolirin, like Lee, was also on hand at the festival to talk with the audience. I’m pretty sure his was one of the better received films of the festival.
Ditto for Bill Forsyth’s Housekeeping starring Christine Lahti. The story centers around two sisters left orphaned as little girls whose quirky and sometimes erratic aunt Sylvie (Lahti) moves in to care for them. Unfit for motherhood herself and still stuck in perpetual adolescence, home life resembles more of a slumber party than a structured, safe environment. But since it’s Ebert’s festival, here’s a quote from his review in 1988: “At the end of the film, I was quietly astonished. I had seen a film that could perhaps be described as being about a madwoman, but I had seen a character who seemed closer to a mystic, or a saint.” I think that says it nicely.
Now, my question is, who is this director Tarsem Singh who plops down one of the most horrifying, terrifying films in recent history then falls off the face of the planet? Where did he come from? Where is he now? Well, he was at Ebertfest for a bit of audience Q&A, and he did have a more recent release, The Fall, for which I barely recall a single advertisement (It toured through festivals then landed a nationwide release last May).

"Mon amour," Mariane tells her newborn son, "It is fine by me if you want to change the world."The film offers virtually no insight into the inner dynamic of the Pearls' relationship, and here it misses the very spirit -- the inner vitality -- of the book. Winterbottom attempts to compensate for this with a handful of flashbacks to Daniel (Dan Futterman) and Mariane (Angelina Jolie) experiencing moments of intimacy (enhanced to some degree by Harry Escott and Molly Nyman's piano score), but the film could benefit immensely from a longer, deeper, and more resonant exploration of Daniel and Mariane's relationship -- either prior to the coverage of his abduction, or via more extensive flashbacks.
The picture suffers, as well, from Jolie's lackluster performance. She is, simply put, miscast -- she's much too polished for the multiethnic, expectant Mariane Pearl, and she reflects glamour and gloss in every shot -- as if she's ready to walk right off the set and pose for the cover of Vogue or In Style. (In the book, Mariane indicated a significant loss of sleep and physical suffering that almost drove her into early contractions -- shouldn't we glimpse this via a dramatic shift in Jolie's appearance?) But more problematically, Jolie utterly and completely fails to display necessary emotional nuances and inner evolution of her character.
WATCH THE MOVIE RIGHT NOW !She plays Mariane Pearl as a sort of tabula rasa -- an ice-water-veined woman, so emotionally guarded as to render herself virtually impenetrable to outsiders. Projecting a vague aura of cockiness and indignity, she acts like a bitchy, spoiled-rotten princess and does virtually nothing to involve us in her plight; it is an interesting conceit, but does little to engage the audience. Consequently, Jolie's histrionic breakdown at the end of the film when she learns of Daniel's murder (screaming maniacally -- not just once, as indicated in the book, but multiple times; pounding her fists on the walls violently) seems that much more misaligned with everything that has come before it -- and suggests that Jolie perhaps read Mariane as a woman unable to even explore or project the contours of her feelings until tragedy drove her to the point of emotional breakdown -- an idea not underscored by Mariane Pearl's self-insights in the book. When Jolie does give us emotional transitions upon receiving a devastating or discouraging piece of news...
