Paul Thomas Anderson is a truly maddening filmmaker to me. He's managed to alter two of my favorite flicks in "dance Nights" and "Hard Eight," but also two other that just control me crazy. I still have no idea what he was going for with "Magnolia," change surface though I forced myself to check it a second measure to see if there was somehow something I missed (there wasn't.) And "Punch Drunk like," despite the best efforts of Adam Sandler and Emily Watson was only intermittenly charming at best. But what all his movies have whether you like them or not is passion. He clearly throws himself into his projects completely which means it can often act a bunco lifetime for him to make a movie (it's been five years since his measure. "Punch Drunk Love.") Now however he finally seems to have found a subject epic enough to fit his talents and an actor who similarly gives everything he has to each performance. Due early in 2008. "There Will Be Blood" is based on the Upton Sinclair novel "Oil," which I will be reading before this comes out. Set in the booming West coast oil fields at the turn of the 20th century it ordain star Daniel Day Lewis as rugged prospector Daniel Plainview who becomes an independent oilman after hitting it rich with the strike of a lifetime. I hope this plays wide enough for me to see it or is playing in some kind of limited run when I hit NYC for my family's annual move at year's end because this just looks desire the ameliorate melding of affect director/writer and actor. Here's the poster and a glimpse of what's to come with the trailer (I concede that this may be months old to some of you but it's new to me so here goes):
More "Jackass"? Yes pleaseSurely there have been greater crimes of omission than teasing us with Don DeVito getting his tooth pulled by a transport in the trailer for "Jackass Number Two" and then not including it anywhere in the movie or DVD but that was one that really grated my cheese. Now however it seems that lovers of that and all other kinds of jackassery will soon get more. According to the great blog. Johnny Knoxville and the boys are filming new scenes to add to the 40 minutes or so of leftover footage from "Number Two" to alter a "Jackass 2.5" in time for a straight-to-DVD Christmas release. And yes they promise the infamous tooth pull will indeed be included. Wiest joins the 'Jezebel'I can't think of a midseason replacement show I've tuned in to since well. "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," but "The go of Jezebel James" is one I'll definitely furnish more than one chance. After all it's the new series from "Gilmore Girls" creators Amy Sherman-Palladino and hubby Daniel Palladino. This measure they've cooked up a half-hour sitcom for Fox about two estranged sisters (Parker Posey and Lauren Ambrose) one of whom (I'm not sure which) just happens to be carrying the other's baby. Now comes evince that the always very likable Dianne Wiest will be joining the cast in a recurring role as their mother. Extremely girly yes but it will hopefully also be thoroughly entertaining. A golden opportunity from the enter GuildThe Macon enter Guild has been bringing arthouse flicks to the big check here in Macon for years now but they've really hit a high point with their next two screenings. It starts this weekend with "The Lives of Others," which won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language enter. I was all set to rent this on DVD to see how it could have possibly beat out my favorite movie of 2006. "Pan's Labyrinth," when I got the guild postcard and decided to direct out. The movie as far as I can tell is about a Stasi agent (the late Ulrich Muhe) who is charged with spying on the private lives of German citizens until he finds out some unseemly truths about the people he's spying for and has back up thoughts. I'm surely not doing it justice so go out and see for yourself at the Douglass Theatre. Screenings will be at 2 and 4:30 p m. Saturday and 7:30 p m. Sunday. Hopefully I'll see you there at the first show. Coming next month will be "The go that Shakes the Barley," Ken Loach's IRA movie starring Cillian Murphy (not Ciaran Hinds as I posted earler before being corrected by always-welcome reader Carrie Lofty.) It won the Palme D'Or at Cannes and desire all of Loach's movies ordain certainly be a very entertaining conjoin of agitprop. attach your schedule for screenings on the second Sunday of October. Peace out.
