Memories of Early Summer: June Movie Wrap-Up

Wow, only seven movies and one notable video short were viewed back in June, and only two of those eight were seen on The Medium itself, film. Even further, of the two on film, only one was actually great, WALL-E. Something sad happened in June, methinks. Was it a melancholy anticipation of the summer's end, even though it had just begun? Ah, but it was not a total loss! Though on DVD, Werner Herzog's Grizzly Man, Claire Denis's The Intruder and Abbas Kiarostami's Taste of Cherry were viewed all for the first time. Eeek! This dummy summer post is turning into a real confessional, my god! Before I discredit myself further, I shall stop. The full queue is below, and you can never see Director Josh Weinberg's The Website Is Down too many times!


Sex and the City - (2008) - Film
Seen: Sunday, June 1, 2008

I'd be lying if I said Sex and the City didn't make me feel a little dirty inside. It was more of a hollow feeling really. Yes, the fashion was fantastic, the slideshow montages of clothing changes pretty and enviable. But something about 40-something women longing for their 20-year-old selves just made me miss my boyfriend, my friends and everything else important to me--the things that get better with age, which is all drastically unlike la moda in a New York minute. I let my feelings be known that I didn't care for it over here.


Speed of Life - (2008) - DVD
Seen: Tuesday, June 2, 2008

I interviewed Director Ed Radtke here, as a contribution to the Asian-American International Film Festival, and he was a pleasure to talk to. His movie, shot collaboratively with Brooklyn youths in their own neighborhoods (olde Billyburg included), was a mixed-medium picture that combined everything from digital video to VHS recordings to capture his narrative with a documentary twist.


Pretty to Think So - (2008) - DVD
Seen: Monday, June 9, 2008

Directors Francis Hsueh and Steven Hahn's Pretty to Think So had some of the better production values of small-budget independent pictures. But the story, amidst a lower-downtown with Trade Center towers visible in one shot, was strangely disjointed from some of its more grounding, intimate settings.


Grizzly Man - (2005) - DVD
Seen: Wednesday, June 18, 2008

The Intruder - (2005) - DVD
Seen: Friday, June 20, 2008

Herzog's and Denis's flicks were talked about here, along with Kiarostami's Taste of Cherry (see below), at Scarlett Cinema.


The Website is Down - (2008) - YouTube
Seen: Friday, June 20, 2008



A bit more about Weinberg and The Website Is Down can be found here!


Taste of Cherry - (1997) - DVD
Seen: Saturday, June 21, 2008

(see above)


WALL-E - (2008) - Film
Seen: Friday, June 27, 2008 (opening night!)

Going back to the 70s, George Lucas's films THX 1138 (1971) and Star Wars (1977) changed the way the future is imagined in mainstream culture. His future was a revolt against the perfectly rounded edges of an ultra-modern landscape, rejecting a fully automated future that does not reference everyday equipage of the present. Lucas's THX1138 has its characters tethered to thick telephone cords, and Star Wars references the same dusty landscape of the American Western. It also visualizes spacecraft as rather clunky pieces of man-made hardware, dependent on and vulnerable to the human touch. I believe it was sound artist Walter Murch who coined the term "used future,” the remnants of the past that are either constituent parts or leftover relics in the imagined future; in short, a landscape of the future cluttered with a whole lot of the objects and structures of today.

The veteran Pixar employee and director of WALL-E (2008), Andrew Shapiro’s picture of the future—at least on Earth—is not simply of a “used” future as per Murch, but one of total disuse. Earth is crumbled and abandoned, only one green sprout remains alongside dear WALL-E in his hovel of discarded human possessions. The Rubik’s Cube is the most obvious, and what a call back to a time when Lucas’s Star Wars still reined supreme (and maybe it still does). So there are elements of the “used future” here, but WALL-E is much darker than that. I loved the sparse dialogue, letting the story tell itself with only intermittent blips of sound from the old VHS tape of Hello Dolly (1969). A movie I have never seen, nor really cared to see, suddenly took on major significance, giving an unlikely answer to that question among cinephiles, “if you could take one movie into the future...?”













Also, doesn’t WALL-E look like #5 from Short Circuit (1986)?

May Movie Wrap-up

To move more quickly through the heavy backlog of my film journal, this next post will encapsulate all the movies seen in the month of May. Almost all were good, but there is one film of the bunch that simply confounds and frustrates me, La Vie en Rose (2007). Great performance from Marion Cotillard, but the story was too stagnant, too formulaic to appreciate. That said, here are flicks I enjoyed:

Woman on the Beach - (2007) - Film
Seen: Thursday, May 1, 2008
I found my first Hong Sang-soo film, Woman on the Beach hilarious and cute. Our old pal Tativille talks about it in more depth here.











La Vie en Rose - (2007) - DVD
Seen: Sunday, May 4, 2008

Per this post's introduction, you know I didn't "like" La Vie en Rose, but at this juncture, what does that assessment matter? Let's not beat a dead horse, on to the next movie, one that I enjoyed!


The Insider - (1999) - DVD
Seen: Wednesday, May 7, 2008

Voila! I hadn't rewatched Michael Mann's The Insider since its release (now almost a decade ago, that makes me feel old), but I forgot so many of the great things about it over the years. I wrote up a bit on Seen's sister site here, at Scarlett Cinema.


Baby Mama - (2008) - Film
Seen: Friday, May 9, 2008

I'm just saying, Baby Mama got a bit of the shaft last spring. Is it a golden comic delight of the Dodgeball, Anchorman or Step Brothers caliber? Well, no. But it is still an enjoyable movie that was, in my opinion, too harshly judged and dismissed. I found some sexist-slanted reviews and wrote about it here, as well.


Halloween - (1978) - DVD
Seen: Saturday, May 10, 2008

Why in the world did Halloween show up in the viewing queue in the middle of the month of May? Who knows, but who cares! It never hurts to see Carpenter's biggest horror classic.


Dressed To Kill - (1980) - DVD
Seen: Sunday, May 11, 2008

I watched Dressed to Kill three years ago on the cusp of my departure from grad school and at the time was disappointed. But what was I thinking? This is why one rewatches movies: as we grow, sometimes we grow into movies too. De Palma's flick is eerie the whole way through, and entrancingly meta in its moments capturing the killer on film--whether it's the elevator surveillance video or the frame-by-frame capture of the psychologist's front door. And Michael Caine to boot!


Advise and Consent - (1962) - DVD
Seen: Saturday, May 17, 2008

Just in time for an election year, Otto Preminger's Advise and Consent! If you haven't see it, please do...


Medicine For Melancholy - (2008) - DVD
Seen: Sunday, May 18, 2008

Ah, new director Barry Jenkins! We shall hear much more from him in the future, watch out. Here's my review, and an interview he and I had last year.


How The West Was Won - (1962) - DVD
Seen: Sunday, May 18, 2008
Man, I wish I was around to have experienced Cinerama. The three stories, each directed by three different directors (Hathaway, Ford, Marshall), themselves aren't anything to write home about, but come on, it's Cinerama! The spectacle of this film alone is enough to appreciate it. And I do wish I had a Blu-ray disc player to see it how old Dave K. recently did...














Alpha Dog - (2006) - DVD
Seen: Thursday, May 22, 2008

Augh, "bitches," "bitches" everywhere. Strangely, I really enjoyed Nick Cassavetes' Alpha Dog, but it sure ain't helpin' the cause. I talked about it in conjunction with SatC, over here.


Man Push Cart - (2005) - DVD
Seen: Monday, May 26, 2008

I began my catch-up on director Ramin Bahrani's filmography for a piece I wrote here (links embedded). Man Push Cart is a fond prelude to this year's Chop Shop, undoubtedly one of the year's best films.

UNESCO selected INDIA's National Anthem is best one


Indian National Anthem "JANA GANA MANA" written and composed by RABINDRA NATH TAGORE has been chosen as the World's Best National Anthem by UNESCO.

JANA GANA MANA written in Sanskritised Bengali, it is the first of the five stanzas of aBrahmo hymn composed and scored by Nobel Laureate Rabindra Nath Tagore.

It was first sung at the Calcutta Session of the Indian National Congress, on 27 December 1911. JANA GANA MANA was officially adopted by the constituent Assembly as the Indian National Anthem on January 24, 1950. The music for the "current version" is said to be derived from a composition for the song by RAM SINGH THAKUR, although some dispute this, A formal rendition of the National Anthem takes about forty-eight to fifty-two seconds.
