Carnival of Cinema: Episode 68 – The Bloginator
Welcome to the Carnival of Cinema, a weekly adventure into blogging excellence. Each week we present the some of the best cinema-related posts from around the world. If you love cinema and also love sitting on your butt staring at a computer screen reading about cinema instead of interacting with those around you – you’ve found your dream spot.
Let’s get this party started.
Darrell of THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE gets things up and running with a couple of posts. First, he has a movie review titled “Volver and Delicious Cleavages”. If that doesn't get your attention, I can’t imagine what will. He also looks at the recent horror movie The Mist.
Next Damon treats us to an early look at the upcoming G.I. Joe the Movie. Head over to his site THE DEATHBOX to get a peek at Snake Eyes.
If you didn’t get enough of eyeing up Snake Eyes then head over to FJETSAM where Jim Squires also has a look at the guy.
For as look at more stuff in the works check out Ed Stittle’s list of five half-decent upcoming films this year. He has the list over at his site SOME PUNK KID.
More lists coming your way.
Over at WE OP-ED, Justin has posted a list of the best documentaries about the war in Iraq. He says “Unique among American wars, the War in Iraq has stimulated filmmakers to comment on the war while it is still being waged. Here are some of the best documentaries that have come out in the past five years.”
Scott the MOVIE LONER has compiled a list of the five best independent actors. Indie actors? What’s an indie actor? An actor who doesn’t work in big Hollywood products? Isn’t that all but .05% of all thespians? You gotta be real good to get on the top of that pile. Head over to his site to see if you agree.
I guess I can say, since I don’t work for NASA, that I’m an “Indie Astronaut”.
If you want independent from the studios, I’ll give you independent from the studios – head over to YouTube and watch the latest piece of crap sweded version of Transformers from some loser high school kids.
For more on the service which can make even the most idiotic and untalented people passing interests for the rest of us, head over to VIDEOS AND WEB TV where Alex M. talks about YouTube.
More indie stuff -
Next THE IPEX VIEW BLOG’s Daniel LeFleche has an interview with Tonisha Johnson, who started TOMI (The Other Movie Industry) Enterprises, which includes the TOMI Film Festival. This traveling festival is going into its second year and it is one that any minority/underground filmmaker should know about.
“Bueller?…Bueller?”
If you really want to go indie – check out politically conservative film. Talk about working behind enemy lines. Ben Stein has made a little documentary called Expelled which is about the controversial subject of Intelligent Design. Over at Greg Laden’s blog, GREG LADEN'S BLOG, Greg Laden blogs about the movie and the Richard Dawkins’ reaction to the flick.
From the theory of evolution to the evolution of a theory…
This week film geek and Carnival regular Gautam Valluri has a look at the long-standing auteur theory and its evolution over the decades. Click over to BROKEN PROJECTOR to read more.
The next step in the evolution of the auteur theory has come. Scarlett Johansson is directing a movie. Over at SARAHSPY Sarah says no one gives a rip about Johansson’s latest creative effort making an album.
Johansson directing a movie? Why not, they let Ben Affleck do one.
Gone, Baby Gone gets the business over at CLEVE1212'S MOVIE REVIEW BLOG. Click over to see what Clay Miller thinks of Ben’s little ditty.
Ever wondered if you could get to see movies at the Cannes festival? CANNES OR-BUST! insider Michael Leahy details what you need to do.
Now, let’s dip into our weekly mess o’ reviews.
Second in line is one of my favorite reviewers, Paul McElligott. Paul takes on the Coen Brothers’ No Country for Old Men on his site CELLULOID HEROES.
Next, Margaret from THE EARTHLY PARADISE has a review of Miss Potter.
Over at the oddest named blog connected to the Carnival this week, ART AND MASTURBATION, Carlfranzen gives the lowdown on Be Kind Rewind.
Looking to find out more about Le Doulos and Takhté siah? Great news, Gracchi has the reviews you need over at his site WESTMINSTER WISDOM.
MANNY THE MOVIE GUY is next with a review Drillbit Taylor. Judd Apatow's name is associated with this film, but there's a certain 80's icon named John Hughes who's also done some work with this comedy.
Putting a cap on this torrent of opinion, we have two horror movies for ya'.
Blue Sunshine reviews the horror film Mulberry Street. The word is that this indie horror gem manages to balance social commentary, character development, and horror elements. Don't believe me? Head over to MISCGARBAGE.COM and find out for yourself.
Ghost Ship is about a fictional lost luxury Italian ocean liner which is found by a salvage crew. It is also a movie that gets reviewed by Jeet over at BANGALOREBEATS.
Alright, that's enough of the reviews. Come back to the Carnival each week for a full load of movie reviews like the one's we had for you this week.
Let's bring this thing to a close by talking about celebrities.
Do you like reading about what a bunch of stupid celebs are doing? Can't get enough Brad and Angelina and Brittany and Paris and whatnot? Harrison has a resource for everyone to use to keep up with the latest celebrity and cinematic gossip on the site CUSTOMIZED GIRL BLOG.
If you don't want to just read about celebrities but you just gotta throw away your hard earned cash and actually buy their crap, check out CELEBRITY NEWS AND GOSSIP where Silveral has a post about celebrity memorabilia.
And on the note of collecting stuff, Missy from OBSERVATIONS FROM MISSY'S WINDOW has a post called Collecterz Makes It Easy For Collectors. Its about her latest discovery has helped her organize hery DVD collection. It's taken a daunting task and made it ridiculously easy.
Thanks to everyone for their submissions, the selection of posts gets better each week!
