Inspired by the story material, Capote and his partner, Harper Lee, travel to the town to research for an article. However, as Capote digs deeper into the story, he is inspired to expand the project into what would be his greatest work, In Cold Blood. To that end, he arranges extensive interviews with the prisoners, especially with Perry Smith, a quiet and articulate man with a troubled history. As he works on his book, Capote feels some compassion for Perry which in part prompts him to help the prisoners to some degree. However, that feeling deeply conflicts with his need for closure for his book which only an execution can provide. That conflict and the mixed motives for both interviewer and subject make for a troubling experience that would produce an literary account that would redefine modern non-fiction.

Caramel
Title: Caramel
Studio: Lionsgate
Genre: Art House & International
Duration: 93 mins
Starring: Nadine Labaki, Yasmine Al Masri, Joanna Moukarzel, Gisèle Aouad, Adel Karam
Summary: Taking its title from the sweet substance that doubles as a depilatory, this honey-hued diversion makes few claims towards originality. Other female-oriented films have centered around salons, but the Lebanese locale of Nadine Labaki's debut distinguishes "Caramel" from the likes of "Venus Beauty Institute" (with Audrey Tautou) and "Beauty Shop" (with Queen Latifah). In Labaki's generous take on the subgenre, she plays Layale, a stunning stylist in love with a family man. Little does she realize bashful beat cop Youssef (Adel Karam), who issues Layale a stream of traffic citations, feels the same way about her. Parlor regulars include Muslim bride-to-be Nisrine (Yasmine Elmasri), ambiguous assistant Rima (Joanna Moukarzel), age-obsessed actress Jamale (Gisèle Aouad), and lonely seamstress Rose (Sihame Haddad). The inclusion of neighbors Youssef and Rose, who spends most of her time caring for a delusional sister, confirms "Caramel"'s true subject as the city of Beirut. Aside from their reduced circumstances--Layale lives at home and shares a room with her brother--the central quartet echoes the tart-tongued professionals of "Sex and the City" (which makes Jamale the group’s Samantha). Before the bittersweet conclusion, each woman experiences a revelation of sorts. For Layale, it entails getting to know both her sympathetic rival and her secret admirer. Compared to most Western comedy-dramas, "Caramel" is as modest as the culture it depicts--Rima's attraction to women, for instance, is merely suggested--but Labaki's compassion for her characters redeems the sometimes-familiar situations.

Casablanca
Michael Curtiz
Title: Casablanca
Studio: Warner Home Video
Genre: Drama
Writer: Philip G. Epstein
Duration: 102
Starring: Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt
Summary: A truly perfect movie, the 1942 "Casablanca" still wows viewers today, and for good reason. Its unique story of a love triangle set against terribly high stakes in the war against a monster is sophisticated instead of outlandish, intriguing instead of garish. Humphrey Bogart plays the allegedly apolitical club owner in unoccupied French territory that is nevertheless crawling with Nazis; Ingrid Bergman is the lover who mysteriously deserted him in Paris; and Paul Heinreid is her heroic, slightly bewildered husband. Claude Rains, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, and Conrad Veidt are among what may be the best supporting cast in the history of Hollywood films. This is certainly among the most spirited and ennobling movies ever made. "--Tom Keogh"

The Chamber
James Foley
Title: The Chamber
Studio: Universal Studios
Genre: Drama
Writer: William Goldman
Duration: 113 mins
Starring: Chris O'Donnell, Gene Hackman, Faye Dunaway, Robert Prosky, Raymond J. Barry
Summary: A top cast consisting of veteran aces Gene Hackman and Faye Dunaway can't rescue this way-too-long, dreadfully earnest version of John Grisham's equally gimpy novel. There are several problems in this story of an intertwined Southern family who must disentangle themselves from the past and the dark shadow of a 1967 bombing. That terrorist attack led to the deaths of two Jewish children and was pinned on the black-sheep patriarch of the family, a racist, card-carrying Klansman named Sam Cayhall (Hackman), who is now serving time on death row for the hate crime. Years later, the savior grandson cometh. Young-buck lawyer Adam Hall--played with righteous determination and limited range by Chris O'Donnell--pulls out all the stops to save his client from the Mississippi gas chamber. As is usual in Grisham country, the poor lawyer becomes embroiled in a plan more diabolical, corrupt, and layered than he could guess and the truth spirals out of control, endangering lives, and opening old wounds. "The Chamber" attempts to twist and turn through its plodding story, but there is no gray area in which to force the viewer to weigh his or her conscience against the skewed facts. Everything that occurs in "The Chamber" is black or white, good or bad, and there is no crisis of conflict to make us question the morality and stance of the two sides in play. The bad guys are awful, the politicians are bought off, the cops are either corrupt or apathetic, and only one puny guy is left to bring down a house of cards that's been standing solidly for decades. O'Donnell is quickly put to shame by Hackman, who even manages to suffer through a sadistically long, melodramatic stroll down death row with his dignity intact. "--Paula Nechak"

El joven Charlie Chaplin era miembro de una numerosa familia que se ganaba la vida en los teatros de mala muerte de Londres. Pronto vió a su padre morir alcoholizado, y a su madre enferma, Hannah, trabajando duramente para sacar adelante a su hermano Sydney y a él mismo. Su única evasión era el teatro. Pero Hannah está gravemente enferma y debe ser ingresada en un psiquiátrico. Chaplin entra entonces a trabajar en una compañía de música y pantomima, que le lleva de gira por Estados Unidos.

Charlie Valentine (Diarios de Asesinos)

Title: Charlie Valentine (Diarios de Asesinos)
Studio: American Media Group
Genre: Drama
Duration: 96
Awards: 5 wins
Starring: Raymond J. Barry, Michael Weatherly, James Russo, Tom Berenger, Steven Bauer
Summary: Before I get started, let's just suffice to say that I loved this
movie. I screened it at the AOF Festival in Pasadena 2009 and not only
did Jesse Johnson do a great job making a film about a terrifically
flawed but outstanding character; he did it in a way that kept the
tension, excitement and power of the film moving, moving, moving.
Raymond Barry was fascinating to watch as was the rest of the stellar
cast, from Keith David to James Russo, Tom Berenger and one of my
favorites Steven Bauer. The cast alone is worth the price of admission
and if you get the chance to see Maxine Bahns in Conjurer, don't pass
it up, she is great. The story follows Charlie on the lamb and in a
seemingly desperate attempt to bond with his son in the process, a son
who desperately wants to be like his father; or so he thinks. No
spoiler here but what happens is fun to watch and a pleasure to see. I
know the director and stars usually get all the credit but in this case
someone needs to give a little love to the producers who took a chance
and gave me one of my best viewing experiences of 2009. Great job guys!

Studio: Public Broadcasting Service (PBS)
Genre: Documentary
Duration: 113 mins
Starring: Joey Lauren Adams, Ben Affleck, Casey Affleck, Matt Damon, Dwight Ewell
Summary: Writer-director Kevin Smith ("Clerks") makes a huge leap in sophistication with this strong story about a comic-book artist (Ben Affleck) who falls in love with a lesbian (Joey Lauren Adams) and actually gets his wish that she love him, too. Their relationship is attacked, however, by his business partner (Jason Lee), who pulls a very unsubtle Iago act to cast doubt over the whole affair. The film has the same sense of insiderness as "Clerks"--this time, Smith takes us within the arcane, funny world of comic-book cultism--but the themes of jealousy, deceit, and the high price of growing up enough to truly care for someone make this a very satisfying movie.

By the early 1930s, the impoverished ex-prizefighter was seemingly as broken-down, beaten-up and out-of-luck as much of the rest of the American populace who had hit rock bottom. His career appeared to be finished, he was unable to pay the bills, the only thing that mattered to him--his family--was in danger, and he was even forced to go on Public Relief. But deep inside, Jim Braddock never relinquished his determination. Driven by love, honor and an incredible dose of grit, he willed an impossible dream to come true. In a last-chance bid to help his family, Braddock returned to the ring. No one thought he had a shot. However Braddock, fueled by something beyond mere competition, kept winning. Suddenly, the ordinary working man became the mythic athlete. Carrying the hopes and dreams of the disenfranchised on his shoulders, Braddock rocketed through the ranks, until this underdog chose to do the unthinkable: take on the heavyweight champ of the world, the unstoppable Max Baer, renowned for having killed two men in the ring.

Title: "Cirque du Soleil - Dralion
Studio: Sony Pictures
Genre: Comedy
Duration: 89
Starring: Luan Leilei, Luis Pelegrini, Juliana Neves, Henriette Gbou, Joe De Paul
Summary: The Chinese consider the lion a symbol of good luck, so it's a half-dragon, half-lion--a dralion--that is the symbol of the East-meets-West fusion of this Cirque du Soleil show, in which 36 Chinese acrobats join the renowned Canadian troupe. Celebrating the four elements as represented in four colors-- blue (air), green (water), red (fire), and ochre (earth)--"Dralion" combines ancient Chinese circus traditions with Cirque du Soleil's usual stunning elements: the techno-oriented single ring; the multicolored lights and costumes; the music that mixes rock, New Age, and various world influences (though not Chinese); and the madcap clowns that pull a victim out of the audience (he turns out to be a terrific sport).
But of course the main reason to watch a Cirque du Soleil show is the acrobatic stunts, those eye-popping displays of agility, balance, and strength. You'll see an acrobat balancing on one hand, a brawny juggler, a high-flying teeterboard act, a double trapeze, contortionists, a parasol turned and tossed atop a foot, furiously synchronized hoop-diving, unbelievable rope-skipping, and more. While nothing can match the experience of seeing this troupe live, the video does offer some choice close-ups that you would never get from your seat, and you can't ask the live performers to repeat your favorite stunts over and over again. And you'll "want" to see them over and over because "Dralion" is a dazzler. "--David Horiuchi"

Performed by the acrobats of Cirque du Soleil, this story is part ballet, part daring physical feats, and part fairy tale. A far cry from the dialogue-free circus performances Cirque du Soleil is known for, Alegria chronicles the fate of a small boy who has been forced into slavery. Eventually, he learns order to free himself and the other children, he must defeat a dragon. The question is whether or not the dragon is of the fire-breathing variety or an equally tough but decidedly more philosophical inner dragon.

Title: "Cirque Du Soleil - Quidam
Studio: Sony Pictures
Genre: Documentary, Family
Writer: Steve Roberts
Duration: 90 mins
Awards: Nominated for Primetime Emmy.
Starring: John Gilkey, Franco Dragone, Chris Lashua, Raynald Masse, Oleg Ouchakov
Summary: When Cirque du Soleil first ventured beyond Canada's borders, its powerful, singularly ambitious "reinvention of the circus" seemed quixotic. Inspired by European precedents, this was a big top downsized to a more intimate, single ring, as the French-Canadian troupe jettisoned animals, banished the usual fright-wigged clowns in favor of funny folks versed in (gulp) pantomime, and focused on acrobats, contortionists, and illusionists. Conventional wisdom would have held that such esoterica was doomed, but anyone lucky enough to catch that initial Cirque production (or, for that matter, any of its subsequent offerings) knows just how wrong conventional wisdom can be.
Cirque's creative brain trust, including "guide" Guy Laliberte and director Franco Dragone, have crafted each production as an extended performance piece framed by recurrent characters, unified production design, and underlying themes. Already mesmerizing visual tableaux and astonishing illusions are given an added poignancy (and, occasionally, true gravity) by the productions' underlying comments about society, conformity, beauty, and emotion; even without such conscious motifs, however, Cirque's sheer artistry is never less than riveting.
"Quidam" revolves around an Everychild, living with self-absorbed (and deliberately archetypal) parents, who's whisked away to a vividly surreal world where Cirque's remarkable acrobats and artists take literal flight. Their tools are often prosaic--oversized flying rings, an open steel wheel large enough for a single inhabitant, skateboards, ropes--yet the resulting images are stunning. Injecting further drama and atmosphere is the score (here by musical director Benoit Jutras), which is as far removed from traditional circus music as Cirque's "acts" are from Barnum & Bailey. Performed with synthesizers, electric guitar, solo reed instruments, percussion, and voice (often singing in a kind of Esperanto that's tantalizing yet foreign), Cirque's music can be dismissed as New Age only until heard in its intended context.
Like three earlier video productions, "Quidam" can't quite achieve the sheer, enveloping wonder that its theatrical source does. But for fans of Cirque du Soleil's unique performance art, this latest presentation sustains the troupe's magic. "--Sam Sutherland"

Title: "Cirque Du Soleil - Saltimbanco
Studio: Sony Pictures
Genre: Comedy
Duration: 78 mins
Starring: Dimitri A. Arnaoutov, René Bazinet, Ann Bernard, Pawel Biegaj, Witold Biegaj
Summary: "Saltimbanco" is a celebration of life in which an international troupe of more than fifty performers ranging from 8 to 45 years of age defy gravity and dazzle with their artistry. A panoply of acts in which top-notch acrobatics are executed with masterly beauty, hand-balancing, double trapeze, double tightrope, Chinese poles, the Russian swing, bangees, jugglers, and clowns. Created in 1994 as an antidote to the violence and despair typical of the 20th century, this phantasmagorical show proposes a new vision of urbanity, overflowing with optimism and happiness. "Saltimbanco" is not linear; rather, it is a kaleidoscope, an adventure in which anything can happen. "Saltimbanco" has its own language, a soul expressed through the voice, the body and music. 1994, 78 minutes.

Title: "Cirque du Soleil - Varekai
Studio: Sony Pictures
Genre: Comedy
Duration: 112
Starring: John Gilkey, Oleg Ouchakov, Igor Zolotoukhine, Kvicha Tetvadze, Olga Pikhienko
Summary: Even by the high standards of Cirque du Soleil, "Varekai" is outstanding. While this artsy circus often aspires to weave a narrative through its spectacular events, in "Varekai" that story (about a winged boy who falls to earth and falls in love with a caterpillar girl) is as delightful and engaging as the acrobatic feats--which is saying a lot, because these feats will leave you agog. Acrobats juggle each others' bodies with their legs; identical twins spin on aerial straps; a contortionist twists into uncanny pretzel shapes; and much, much more. The elaborate costumes truly do evoke an otherworldly place--one of the clown characters looks like a man's torso emerging from the mouth of a carnivorous plant. Exceptionally well-filmed, and featuring a wealth of extra features about the making of the show, "Varekai" is Cirque du Soleil at the peak of its powers: Dizzy, dazzling, and sexy. "--Bret Fetzer"

But on his latest case, the stakes are higher for Vincent--the suspect he's investigating is his own son. He and Joey have been painfully estranged ever since Vincent divorced his wife and left the decaying boardwalks of Long Beach, Long Island for the anonymity of Manhattan and a successful career with the NYPD. He lives his life in solitude, keeping his girlfriend at arm's length; the closest relationship he maintains is with his partner, Reg--and Vincent makes sure that stops at the precinct door. As long as Vincent lives in the protection of the present, he doesn't have to deal with the pain of his past--or his sorrow over his broken relationship with Joey. But this murder investigation is drawing Vincent home to Long Beach, the self-proclaimed City by the Sea, where the past has been waiting for him to return. The agonizing memory that has tortured him all his life--the death of his father, a convicted murderer who was executed when Vincent was just a boy--still plagues him. In the course of the investigation, he discovers that his own unresolved pain and failures as a father have deeply influenced Joey's life, and now his 18-month-old grandson may be fated to follow their self-destructive paths.

City Of Men
Title: City Of Men
Studio: Miramax
Genre: Art House & International
Duration: 106 mins
Starring: Douglas Silva
Summary: Action-packed and fueled by Brazilian funk, "City of Men" returns the makers of "City of God" to the scene of their first success. In this case, the search for family supersedes the search for identity--not that there isn't a correlation between the two. Though produced by Fernando Meirelles, Paulo Morelli's feature isn't a sequel, but a follow-up to the four-season series of the same name. While Meirelles's movie takes place in Rio de Janeiro's past, Morelli's transpires in the present (not counting flashbacks from the show). Days away from turning 18, boyhood friends Acerola (Douglas Silva) and Laranjinha, a.k.a. Wallace (Darlan Cunha), grew up without fathers. Ace has a wife and child; Wallace has a steady girl. The duo gets along with the gang that rules their labyrinthine hillside neighborhood or "favela", but hoodlum life holds little appeal. Ace struggles to raise his young son--his security guard father was murdered during a robbery--while Wallace tries to track down the dad he never knew. With Ace's assistance, Wallace solves the mystery of his genealogy, but at great cost to their friendship (and lives). Despite the South American pedigree, "City of Men" suggests the South Central of "Boyz N the Hood" more than "City of God". It's not that Morelli's kinetic film looks like John Singleton's more classically composed enterprise, but that it deals with similar inner-city concerns. That said, Silva and Cunha are every bit as charismatic as Ice Cube and Cuba Gooding Jr.--if not more so. "--Kathleen C. Fennessy"

Overview: Smart, slick, and furiously paced, The City Of Violence is part detective story, part mayhem-packed thrill ride. Director Ryoo Seung-Wan, Korean cinema's answer to Quentin Tarantino (Johnny Vaughan, The Sun, UK), combines stylized camerawork, whirling tae kwon do moves, and an array of entertaining villains to create a classic revenge saga. The story follows a pair of high school friends who reunite to investigate the murder of one of their own, hurtling toward an epic two-against-the-world showdown where they will try to take vengeance at any cost.

The Clique

Title: The Clique
Studio: Warner Home Video
Genre: Comedy
Duration: 87 mins
Starring: Elizabeth McLaughlin, Ellen Taylor Marlow, Sophie Anna Everhard, Bridgit Mendler, Samantha Boscarino
Summary: Based on the popular "The Clique" Book series by Lisi Harrison, "The Clique" is an entertaining, if somewhat familiar film about a 12-year-old girl whose need to fit in threatens to overshadow her inherent sense of self. Massie (Elizabeth McLaughlin) is the undisputed leader of a clique dubbed "The Pretty Committee" and she and her fellow clique-mates Alicia, Dylan, and Kristen are completely obsessed by high fashion and being the most popular girls in the exclusive Octavian Country Day School for girls. Florida transplant Claire Lyons (Ellen Marlow) is the ultimate in fashion don'ts and when she moves into Massie's guest house and enrolls in her school, it quickly becomes apparent that Massie will stop at nothing to prove her own superiority and make Claire's life miserable. Claire wants nothing more than to fit in and be accepted at her new school, so when befriending Massie doesn't work, she turns to scheming and playing the four friends against one another in an effort to supersede Massie as the queen of popularity. The problem is, Claire's efforts to displace Massie have some very negative effects on Alicia, Dylan, Kristen, her relationship with her mother, and even Claire's ability to like herself. In the end, Claire realizes the importance of being true to oneself and there's the slightest glimmer of hope that even Massie might just consider changing her ways--or not. Something of a "The Devil Wears Prada" for kids meets "Mean Girls", "The Clique" is a surprisingly likeable film that features a scrumptious palate of tween-sized high couture; healthy doses of insecurity, attitude, and angst; good acting; and an important message about believing in oneself. Bonus features include a featurette on casting the movie with executive producer Tyra Banks and director Michael Lembeck, interviews with the main characters and author Lisi Harrison, a 9-minute exploration of tween couture with Tyra Banks, casting contest winners, gag reel, and Clique Girlz in the studio recording "Here With Me Now." (Ages 7 to 14) "--Tami Horiuchi"
Product Description
Claire Lyons, the new girl from Orland(ew), Florida, has the nerve to show up at Octavian Country Day school (OCD) wearing Keds and two-year-old GAP overalls.

Unfortunately, Claire’s family is staying in the guest house on Massie’s familys huge estate and the girls are stuck with each other. Claire’s future looks worse than a Prada knockoff.

Summary: Note: French with English subtitles.



Francois (Bernard Campan), a lonely middle-aged man with a weak heart enters a bordello one evening with his eyes transfixed to one particular hooker. Her name is Daniela (Monica Bellucci). He claims to have won the lottery and offers Daniela a large sum of money if she would come and live with him. As the two strangers get to know each other soon their financial agreement takes on emotional consequences that neither could have suspected. Before long their entanglement grows to encompass Francois friends, neighbors and work acquaintances as well as people, some significant, from Daniela's past.



`How Much Do You Love Me' is a rather odd but enjoyable combination of erotica, romance and dark comedy rolled into one. While the viewer may find it difficult to decide exactly what genre the film is best suited for when all is said and done I would expect that they enjoyed watching. Monica Bellucci does what she does best as she subtly moves back and forth from sullen and smoldering to volcanic eruption. Bernard Campan also delivers a strong performance and there's also a small but memorable role played by one of France's finest actors, Gerard Depardieu.

Duration: 652737984
Starring: Joe Chisholm, Mandy-Rae Cruikshank, Charles Hambleton, Simon Hutchins, Kirk Krack
Summary: Esta cinta, que se quedó con el premio del público en el último Festival de Cine de Sundance, parece que será el gran documental del año, según lo que indican la mayor parte de las críticas que son muy positivas.
Aprovechando los recursos narratios de un thriller, el documental retrata la misión de un grupo de activistas, que lidera Richard O’Barry, popular entrenador de delfines, que buscan infiltrarse en una comunidad japonesa cercana a Taijii que se dedica a la caza de delfines.
La cinta busca retratar los más extremos abusos del hombre hacia estos animales, revelando abismos insospechados de crueldad humana. El trailer vale la pena y la cinta parece ser un must, inclusive para aquellos que no gusten del género documental.
El documental es un género que no goza de demasiada popularidad, aún cuando ciertas cintas de los últimos tiempos, como “Man on Wire”, empiezan a acercarlo a las grandes pantallas.

Genre: Art House & International
Writer: Jean-Christophe Grangé
Duration: 105 mins
Starring: Jean Reno, Vincent Cassel, Nadia Farès, Dominique Sanda, Karim Belkhadra
Summary: Legendary police commissioner Niémans (Jean Reno) travels to a remote university village in the Alps to solve a grisly murder while hotheaded Lieutenant Kerkerian ("Hate"'s Vincent Cassel) is investigating the desecration of the tomb of a young girl killed in an auto accident 20 years ago. When the detectives discover that the incidents are related, they reluctantly join forces. "The Crimson Rivers" looks French but feels American. If it doesn't hit the heights of "The Silence of the Lambs" or "Seven", it bests many of the thrillers that have followed in their wake. Mathieu Kassovitz directs as if this were high art, which is actually to the film's benefit: the cast is terrific (including Jean-Pierre Cassel, Vincent's father), the cinematography is stunning, and the classy score evokes "The Exorcist". Although the mountaintop showdown at the end doesn't quite work, "The Crimson Rivers" is still a superior entrant into an increasingly overcrowded genre. "--Kathleen C. Fennessy"

Cuban Blood
Juan Gerard
Title: Cuban Blood
Studio: Velocity / Thinkfilm
Genre: Action & Adventure
Writer: Letvia Arza-Goderich
Duration: 110
Starring: Harvey Keitel, Iben Hjejle, Diana Bracho, Gael García Bernal, Gabino Diego
Summary: The specter of revolution hovers over a small Cuban town in 2003's "Cuban Blood", director Juan Gerard's first (and, to date, only) feature. Veteran and versatile actor Harvey Keitel, whose involvement clearly helped get the picture made, plays the charismatic Che (no, not "that" Che), a big fish in the small pond that is Holguin, a picturesque spot that's relatively removed from the pro-Castro, anti-Batista rebellion sweeping the country in 1958. But when the rebels knock out the town's electrical power in the opening scene, an outage that lasts a full year, things start to get a little hairy, and Che and his family (including his grandson, clearly a stand-in for Gerard himself) face some major choices and changes. Granted, it's hardly the most original movie ever made. The use of a seemingly crazy homeless man (played by Georg Stanford Brown) as a prophetic Greek chorus is not an uncommon device; and as several critics have noted, echoes of other movies abound, from "Cinema Paradiso" and "Casablanca" to "Rebel Without a Cause" and more. In fact, "Cuban Blood" was itself formerly known as "Dreaming of Julia", a reference to both the film that's playing in the local cinema when the power goes out and to the real name of the enigmatic "La Gringa," the only American in town (actress Iben Hjejle is actually Danish, though you'd never know it from her perfect, unaccented English). In the end, the promotional material's claim that it's "a star-studded adventure in the tradition of (Sergio Leone's epic) "Once Upon a Time in America"" is hyperbolic in the extreme. Nonetheless, this film--sometimes amusing, sometimes dramatic, both heartwarming and sad, sentimental but not overly so--will appeal to viewers of all ages. "--Sam Graham"

Daisy asks Caroline to read to her aloud the diary of Daisy's lifelong friend, Benjamin Button. Benjamin's diary recounts his entire extraordinary life, the primary unusual aspect of which was his aging backwards, being born an old man who was diagnosed with several aged diseases at birth and thus given little chance of survival, but who does survive and gets younger with time. Abandoned by his biological father, Thomas Button, after Benjamin's biological mother died in childbirth, Benjamin was raised by Queenie, a black woman and caregiver at a seniors home. Daisy's grandmother was a resident at that home, which is where she first met Benjamin. Although separated through the years, Daisy and Benjamin remain in contact throughout their lives, reconnecting in their forties when in age they finally match up. Some of the revelations in Benjamin's diary are difficult for Caroline to read, especially as it relates to the time past this reconnection between Benjamin and Daisy, when Daisy gets older and Benjamin grows younger into his childhood years.
Curse of the Golden Flower
Yimou Zhang
Title: Curse of the Golden Flower
Studio: Sony Pictures
Genre: Action & Adventure
Duration: 114 mins
Starring: Yun-Fat Chow, Li Gong, Jay Chou, Ye Liu, Dahong Ni
Summary: "Curse of the Golden Flower", a fictionalized historical glimpse into the brutally complicated politics of Emperor Ping's (Chow Yun Fat) reign during the Tang Dynasty, shows the viewer just how far a megalomaniac must go to gain and retain power in medieval China. Lavish sets, massive ceremonial displays, and perversely fascinating battle scenes impress similarly to the special effects Americans have come to love and expect from Chinese action films like Zhang Yimou's previous "House of Flying Daggers" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". An intricate plot involving the Emperor's wife, Empress Phoenix (Gong Li) and their three sons, Crown Prince Xiang, Prince Jie, and Prince Cheng, most closely follows the Empress's secret plan to force abdication upon her corrupt husband as revenge for his slowly poisoning her with Black Fungus tea. Opening on the eve of the Chysanthemum Festival, 928 A.D., the Empress obsessively embroiders gold chysanthemums to adorn her army's uniforms while hatching plans with Jai to overthrow the Crown Prince for control of the throne. Meanwhile, a side plot develops as the Emperor's ex-wife and mother to Crown Prince Yu reemerges as Yu's lover. By the time the Festival occurs, family members are pitted against each other in a "King Lear"-ian web of lies that can only result in demise. The most sophisticated narrative aspect of "Curse of the Golden Flower" is that as the royal family crumbles, the Emperor's death grip on China remains unwavering. Gorgeous scenes set in the palace and costume design displaying China's upper class decadence cannot fail to entertain. The paradox between good and evil, here, is highlighted by how the Emperor successfully rules despite, and because of, his utter cruelty. "--Trinie Dalton"
