This is a bold and high-minded stab at the ultimate unfilmable book, writes Peter Bradshaw In 1967, the American film-maker Joseph Strick took a bold and high-minded stab at the ultimate unfilmable book: Joyce's Ulysses. Inevitably, it's a disappointment, though watched again now for this rerelease, it doesn't seem as much of a disappointment as all that. Milo O'Shea gives a very decent performance...
rachit14nov / Movie-List Forum osh Brolin, John Malkovich (as the bad guy) and Megan Fox . It's based on a DC Comic (at least I think it's DC) and has a western feel to it which is exciting. It looks cheesy to me, but that's how these types of movies are. From what I gather, Josh Brolin is wrongfully executed and comes back from the dead ... Read full article at Movie-List Forum
Sometimes there’s seemingly no difference between onscreen and offscreen. Just look at the whole Twilight business. Edward and Bella are inseparable and loved-up onscreen and offscreen there are rumours that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are likewise. Sure, it might all just be gossip and speculation, but often we like to imagine that what we see at the cinema is the same as real life....
What do you get when you cross a 1963 children’s picture book about a boisterous boy who encounters monsters with Spike Jonze, the visionary director of Being John Malkovich? You get Where the Wild Things Are. Here’s the trailer… To activate the sound in the trailer: hold your cursor over the screen to reveal the control [...]
" Changeling " (2008) is another great movie directed by Clint Eastwood based on the true story of Christine Collins and her missing son Walter Collins, possibly a victim in the horrendous Wineville Chicken Coop murders . The movie is tastefully produced and Angelina Jolie is very convincing as a tormented yet tireless mother. She carries the weight of the role with grace, creating great...
In this amusing, intelligent, well-acted picture, Paul Giamatti, playing a troubled actor called Paul Giamatti currently appearing in Uncle Vanya , goes to a New York surgery called Soul Storage and exchanges his soul for that of a Russian artist. It's a combination of the Faust legend, John Frankenheimer's Seconds and Spike Jonze's Being John Malkovich , but curiously flimsy. Philip French guardian.co.uk...
Cold Souls is an entertaining watch, and amusing – though not hilarious, not especially satirical, and doing nothing very original. It's a bit like Being John Malkovich crossed with Eternal Sunshine, and not quite as interesting as either. Cold Souls is a likeable, well made, reasonable comedy of New York angst. It compares unfavourably though to a similar sort of film from earlier this year...
A surreal storyline: check. A famous actor playing himself: check. Playful existential comedy Cold Souls certainly ticks some of the same boxes as Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman’s Being John Malkovich, yet first-time writer-director Sophie Barthes’s assured feature film debut has a deadpan wit and gentle pathos all [...]
Ah, the sweet aftertaste of crumbly Arran cheese, as I was reminded the other day while washing some down with a pint of Arran blonde beer in a bar outside Brodick. And ah, the distinctive kidney shape of the island itself ( ára = kidney) I was also reminded, looking at the large map of the place on the wall, before replacing my pint on an Arran-shaped table. That’s four Arrans in one...
With such films as Distruct 9, Disgrace (starring John Malkovich), Skin (with Sam Neill), and Clint Eastwood's Invictus - and that's just this fall - the U.S. film industry is finding South Africa a rich source of locations, stories, facilities and especially talent....
For much of the 1980s, John Cusack was one of Hollywood's most dependable go-to guys for affable leads in teen romantic comedies -- typecasting that led to some great films (Better Off Dead, Say Anything...) as well as some rather forgettable efforts (Hot Pursuit, One Crazy Summer). But beneath that guy-next-door exterior lurked the heart of a thespian, and over the last 20 years, Cusack has assembled...
You don't see George Clooney doing commercials in the U.S. (except for some voice overs) but like a lot of celebrities he does them overseas. Like this ad for Nestle Nespresso. It's never explained, however, why John Malkovich is greeting him in heaven. Unless it's not supposed to be Malkovich and is just a character he's playing.

…If it weren't for The Archangel John Malkovich and a Nespresso coffee maker. At least, that's the gist of this commercial. [AdFreak] [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
