There is nothing worse than missing out on great opportunities. Especially when that opportunity is so close to you! As you know I have been hyping Martin McDonagh's 'The Cripple of Inishmaan' for months now (saw it once in <a href="http://thenewyorkcityfilmchick.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/a-second-glance-daniel-radcliffe.html" target="_blank">London</a> and again in <a href="http://thenewyorkcityfilmchick.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/review-radcliffe-and-ensemble-shine-in.html" target="_blank">here</a>) and I can't even describe how great it is. Truly one of those shows where you walk out feeling like you've witnessed something extremely captivating.<br />
<br />
Now, don't freak out, but 'The Cripple of Inishmaan' is ending soon. Like, in <b><u>3 weeks</u></b> time (<b>July 20th</b> to be exact.) These are your final weeks to see Daniel Radcliffe and this amazing cast on stage. If you're a fan of good theater you'll love it. If you're a fan of Martin McDonagh's work you'll love it. If you have some weird affection for cows, then yes, you'll like this too.<br />

Did you know that there is a man who is actually ‘the most interesting man in
the world?’ His name is Shep Gordon and he is the epitome of a rock star
(without actually being a rock star.) <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Supermensch</i>
(which is the directorial debut of actor/comedian Mike Myers) documents the
life of mega- music manager Shep Gordon, who is known for managing some of the
most legendary musicians in history like Alice Cooper, Blondie, Luther
Vandross, Teddy Pendergrass, and many more. He also invented the term “celebrity
chef,” which launched the career of Emeril Lagassee.<br />
<br />
The film is a collection of celebrity interviews, reenactments, and archived
videos and photos, which showcase the legendary life of Shep Gordon. Now
you’re probably asking “Why should I care about this guy?” When I tell you that
this man has lived the most fascinating life I have ever seen, I am not lying.
He got punched by Janis Joplin, was bouncing off career ideas with Jimi
Hendrix, and had a posse that included John Lennon. Celebrities flock to his
private island to relax (he has an extremely generous open door policy) and he
can make sure that paparazzi leave them alone.<br />
<br />
In the roughly 90 minute film you see Shep’s life as a young Jewish kid, the
crazy things he did to bring attention to his clients (there is an incident
involving Alice Cooper and a chicken), and his life now as an older man. He
talks a lot about his desire for children and it really pulls at your
heartstrings. Like I was ready to hook him up with an e-harmony account, that’s
how badly I felt for him. You really become emotionally invested and want the
best for him in the end. The film is also just really entertaining.
I felt like I could’ve sat there for another 30 minutes listening to another
crazy story. The time really flies by!<br />
<br />
A few weeks after screening this, I was walking down the street and saw Shep
casually talking on his cell. He was so sweet, and ended his phone call just
to chat with me and tell me about all the press events he was doing. I can see why so many people care about him. He is very personable and pleasant. Like a person who has clearly had a life well-lived. I
feel that I could learn more from him in 30 minutes than I would in an entire
semester of school. He is an out-of-the box thinker and seems to truly care
about people. This is an excellent directorial debut for Myers (and I think I can
forgive him for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Love Guru</i>, too!)
Definitely keep an eye on this film, coming out tomorrow in select theatres! B+<br />

Thank God for VOD. Seriously, it’s a blessing. The fact that
I can watch films from this year’s Tribeca Film Festival and
not have to leave my room is a luxury. Sometimes I have seen films and thought,
“Man, I wish I had actually experienced this with an actual audience.” This is
not one of those times.<o:p></o:p></div>

I was really looking forward to seeing the Irish comedy <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Bachelor Weekend</i>. It seemed like a
light hearted, funny, <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="ae71860e-7cbb-4443-923d-9db2ce66a835" id="8ba07948-7f30-4a9d-bd44-53dfde9af7a3"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="23f5fd15-1bd1-48dd-96b7-c8439bc36d3a" id="655644f1-65d3-43cf-8a0e-69cfc7661edb">brofest</span></span> from across the pond, and it was on the top of my "must see" list. I chose to watch it On Demand, since I had fallen ill that week,
and couldn’t make it to any of the screenings.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Bachelor Weekend</i>
(or formally titled <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Stag</i>) is a
story about a group of friends who decide to go out into the wilderness to
celebrate their mate’s pending nuptials. However, each one of them has their
own respective issues that are soon dealt with while braving the elements and
trying to survive the weekend. “Uninspired” is the word I would use to describe this film.
It has all the basic components of your typical “male bonding” film like The <i>Hangover (</i>nudity, sex jokes, gay jokes, crazy hijinks, <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="d42d4816-e50d-49fa-b951-b2786f5ae8dd" id="c71238f1-5a0d-4f8a-8191-fadd55cf4780"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="eb338558-aaac-4998-abce-3f8157998657" id="bc4cf8ff-f1e7-4e4c-8c0c-49ea582e88e2">ect</span></span>.), but it just wasn’t all that
funny to me. Some of the characters were very one dimensional with no real development
whatsoever. It felt like I was watching an incomplete film, and I was just
waiting for something more (anything really!)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I did have a few chuckles, however. Peter McDonald (The Machine. Yes, that's his name throughout the entire movie) who plays
the crass older brother of the Bride, is really the only person carrying this
film (and seems to overshadow the rest of the cast.) Which is disappointing, because you have some really talented actors, who
could’ve been used much better. This film would be perfect to view on Netflix, on a lazy
afternoon. <i>The Bachelor Weekend</i> is
not bad, but it’s defiantly a missed opportunity for what could’ve been a
really funny film. Grade: C-<br />

A few months ago, I wrote a piece on Daniel Radcliffe after seeing a show he was in while in London last summer (check it out <a href="http://bit.ly/1lG03O0" target="_blank">HERE</a>.) The show was called THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN, an extremely dark comedy about an unfortunate cripple named Billy (Daniel Radcliffe) who dreams of a life outside his small Irish town. When I heard that the show was coming to Broadway, I <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="881e204d-90bd-46c5-b945-01089db278fa" id="f41768c3-65fb-4836-8c05-3e008be61173">was excited and nervous</span>. Maybe, I wasn’t giving my fellow Yanks enough credit, but I wasn’t sure that the fast paced, borderline unintelligible dialogue would work with American audiences (or keep their attention for the 2 hours we were there.)<br />

Before the show, I was treated to a wonderful pre-show mixer at the <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="c0da870d-cefa-4fe8-9be5-28690a3326db" id="9e8a4d6b-1dbc-49a5-a5fa-150dc47cb725"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="0b70a225-ed85-4ef6-be9f-7e35079f72ee" id="236569bf-63ff-4a45-aaed-10869c19bd1e">Iroquois</span></span> Hotel located at <span style="font-family: 'FreightMicro Pro Book'; text-align: center; text-indent: -48px;">49 W 44</span><sup style="font-family: 'FreightMicro Pro Book'; text-align: center; text-indent: -48px;"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="6257a758-7be8-45fa-85ae-2d9aaf997f27" id="0c9c22a2-86d7-4c86-978f-0ee587d784ae"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="23784abf-c78b-4355-8757-e56becaf1b1e" id="73183bda-caf3-4617-ad9b-719a010f357f">th</span></span></sup><span style="font-family: 'FreightMicro Pro Book'; text-align: center; text-indent: -48px;"> St</span>.

<br />
For a Wednesday evening the line going into the theatre was substantial at best. Right now NYC is buzzing with tourist from all over the world enjoying their spring vacation, so it can get a tad crazy around the theatre district. The out of towners, in particular, were extremely hype about seeing a “Daniel Radcliffe show” and I could spot the overzealous young fans who wanted to see Harry Potter up close and personal.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Set on the remote island of Inishmaan off the west coast of Ireland, word arrives that a Hollywood film is being made on the neighboring island of Inishmore. The one person who wants to be in the film more than anybody is young Cripple Billy (Radcliffe), if only to break away from the bitter tedium of his daily life. McDonagh’s comic masterpiece examines an ordinary coming-of-age in extraordinary circumstances and confirms his position as one of the most original Irish voices to emerge in the second half of the twentieth century.<br />
<br />
This show is written by Martin McDonagh (who brought us <i>In Bruges</i>, <i>The Guard</i>, and <i>Seven Psychopaths</i>.) There is a darkness that shrouds the characters of the show, which makes the comedy so startling and hilarious. I love McDonagh, because his work always manages to make me laugh, and <br />

When I say that this is one of Daniel Radcliffe’s finest performances, I really mean it. His dedication and commitment to playing a physically handicapped invalid is shown throughout the show. It is very clear that he spent a lot time and energy familiarizing himself with the movements and nuances of a handicap. There is one scene about <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="244da2ad-9354-42da-a71f-f27bd29e6013" id="4497b176-9c19-4297-9f6e-9d93ad91bdb5">midway</span> through that has him lying in a dreary room, which will just break your heart.<br />
<br />
However, seeing the show for the second time did affect how I watched this week's performance. First of all, knowing the entire story from start to finish made me focus less on the plot and more on the excellent dialogue and subtle jokes, which I definitely missed the first time around. I also have to mention that though Radcliffe is the headliner, the ensemble cast <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="4508f058-69e9-4dc1-9208-267f51e8985d" id="b8c6069b-1244-4fcf-bb9c-56732bbe04d3"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="c3e0602c-a1d0-43af-ac7e-7f0d476372b1" id="71cabd01-721e-4a14-b817-4d87627e076f">are</span></span> truly the breakout stars, delivering the show’s finest performances. The first time, I was so focused on Daniel and observing his actions, that I didn’t really take in the performances of the people around him (like his hilarious<br />

Aunties, the abrasive and hostile Helen, the town gossip Johnny Pateen, and so on.) These are the real stars of the show, and I’m so happy that I could really appreciate their performance a second time around.<br />
<br />
One thing I found interesting was how the American audience reacted to certain moments of the show in comparison to the British audience last year. For one, American audiences have a tendency to clap whenever the headlining star comes out on stage (which they did with Radcliffe, who doesn’t make a grand entrance.) He did not get that same welcoming in London. No one clapped or cheered. <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="759a76d0-61f5-42f9-af49-9d2790aa8027" id="1bd77d6c-8f5b-499e-8d71-428e4b64181b">I, personally</span>, found this refreshing, since I find that clapping for a star when they enter, just singles them out in a way that sets them <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="759a76d0-61f5-42f9-af49-9d2790aa8027" id="29a09361-043d-495a-acae-63abefe5b49b">apart</span> from the rest of the group. I feel it’s more respectful to treat them just like the rest of the cast members, and not put so much emphasis on the fact that you probably flew all the way from Bigfork, Minnesota just to see a celebrity and not the show itself.<br />

One thing that I found hilarious was that the cruel jokes aimed at Radcliffe’s character Cripple Billy did not get a huge laugh over here. The jokes landed very well in London, igniting shrieks of laughter at <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="20abd3f4-9c5f-49dd-8d8a-7ee627d33a41" id="cf054216-e103-4509-8376-f0af212cf8c4"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="3fb6aded-d963-4e2c-affa-cd2613891f64" id="d6cbfdb1-172e-4c42-b8b7-c7cdcc0320eb">poor Billy's expense</span></span>. If you know <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="479101a3-a007-4acb-b0f6-907e76f0e4f6" id="fbc124d7-bf51-4300-8467-77eba31098c2"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="8ce43a04-d7fa-458d-9734-e539a0963cca" id="f37c214a-31a4-4875-9652-868ae0314755">McDonagh’s work</span></span>, you know that these jabs at Billy and his ugly looks, and weak body are meant to be funny (because the jokes are so horrible, that they become comedic.) However, the American audience were very sympathetic and rarely laughed during those scenes. All you would hear were a flurry of "Awws" and "Oh, that's terrible." One of the rare occasions where I could clearly see the line between British humor and American humor (<span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="316ff587-549a-4c7a-83b7-a78d891a1b2d" id="2864dcf9-6737-4693-b298-82639aed969e">experienced</span> the same thing when I saw the <i><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="316ff587-549a-4c7a-83b7-a78d891a1b2d" id="bea2f14f-4ac0-4bf5-aa5d-feef376c0795">Book</span> of Mormon</i> at the West End.)<br />

<i>The Cripple of Inishmaan</i> is a special gift from across the pond that should be seen during it's 14 week stint in New York.

<i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">Lantern’s
Keep is devoted to the artful enjoyment of cocktails, as displayed by these
turn-of-the-century aficionados. A hidden gem tucked behind the refined lobby
of the Iroquois, Lantern’s Keep is not a lobby lounge or a mere bar – it is a
unique entity in its own right, serving a carefully selected slate of
creative and inspired drinks in an intimate, exclusive environment. Each
of the Lantern’s Keep bartenders brings his or her own personal style
and experience behind some of the city’s best bars to cater to even the most
experienced cocktail experts.</i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://retargeter.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/LinkedIn-Image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="384" src="https://retargeter.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/LinkedIn-Image.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<i>After years of editing, re-editing, re-re-editing, and re-re-re-editing my LinkedIn page, I have listed the top 10 things to have/do when making a LinkedIn profile. This is a combination of my own personal observations and what I have been told over the years.</i><br />
<br />
1. <b>Use it</b>- The first rule of having a good LinkedIn page is actually using your LinkedIn. So many people have an account for the sake of having one and never use it. Just because your college career counselor told you to make one, doesn't mean you just forget about it after you sign up. You should be checking constantly to see what job/internship openings have come out and just simply tweaking your profile every now and again.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://trackmaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/justdoit_zps7f14e39d.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://trackmaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/justdoit_zps7f14e39d.gif" height="234" width="320" /></a></div>
2. <b>The Perfect Picture</b>- You may not realize it, but your profile picture is pretty important. When recruiters or future employers look you up, it will be the first thing they see. <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="d2f1ecf0-4400-409f-8f42-8dd3e88bc3ca" id="1bcaf381-1d15-4e66-9d39-51f971a8bcd2">Your</span> LinkedIn is <u><b>NOT</b></u> your Facebook. That bikini picture you took in Cabo with your girlfriends will not work when you're trying to apply for an entry level job. If you're in college, find a student photographer on campus to take some headshots for you to post on your page. Or just simply have a friend take a nice picture of you (please, no cell phone selfies). Remember that first impressions are everything, so choose the photo that you feel shows your personality best.<br />

3. <b>Go Ahead and Creep</b>- You creep <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="556ef211-e5dd-482e-a16e-9d8087a5f352" id="8d81dd7c-f201-4231-8683-1499b2c58257">on</span> Facebook, so why aren't you <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="556ef211-e5dd-482e-a16e-9d8087a5f352" id="1d666e27-4a21-43e8-833d-0dc13b517121">creeping</span> on LinkedIn? Creeping is totally allowed when checking out a LinkedIn page. If LinkedIn didn't want people to creep then they wouldn't have the option of seeing who has viewed your page. So why not take advantage and see what your peers and colleagues are doing? If you find yourself stuck and not knowing how to format your page, then check out the profiles of people who have the jobs that you want and see how they styled their page. Using someone else's page as a template for yours can be very helpful.<br />

4. <b>You're All That</b>- You shouldn't hold back when it comes to talking about your multiple achievements. When filling out your LinkedIn page, you should make yourself look like the coolest person on the planet. Even if your only credentials are dog walking and babysitting, make it sound like you were the best dog walker and babysitter the world has ever seen. It's all about selling yourself and really highlighting your skills. Don't be afraid to make yourself look really cool.<br />

5. <b>Recommend Me</b>- Do not be afraid to ask your boss or advisor to write a recommendation on your page after an internship/job ends. Not only does it look good on your page, but it's someone confirming that you are awesome and capable of functioning in a work setting.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/like-a-boss-andy-samberg.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/like-a-boss-andy-samberg.gif" height="181" width="400" /></a></div>
6. <b>Follow, Follow, Follow</b>- Take a moment and follow groups and organizations which pertain to your interests and goals. If you are a journalism major and want to work for the NY Times, then you should be following the NY Times on Linkedin. If you want to go into PR then you should be following PR companies on LinkedIn. This will give you up-to-date news on the company and it shows that you are interested in that field.<br />

7. <b>Fill It <u>All</u> Out</b>- Even if you don't think anyone will care, go ahead and fill out as many sections as you can. If you are taking classes that apply to the field you're going into, then list them all. If you volunteered at an animal shelter for years, then put that down too. The point of a LinkedIn is for people to get to know YOU and what you have achieved so far. Don't cut yourself short.<br />

8. <b>Grow Your Empire</b>- The one question I always hear is "Who do I add on my LinkedIn?" The answer is: family, friends, teachers, professors, old bosses, current bosses, your neighbor, your neighbor's dog, etc. Anyone who you have had some kind of interaction with should be in your network. As your network builds, you will find more and more people you know that can become connections. Soon you will have your own Rolodex of connections which will make your page look more professional. However, try to be more discriminating about the people you add to your network. I rather have 200 connections of people I do know, than 500+ connections of people I don't.<br />

9. <b>So Fresh And So Clean, Clean- </b>Your profile should be neat and easy on the eyes. Make sure you have formatted everything correctly and use bullet points for listing things. Showcase your work (i.e. PowerPoint, presentations, portfolios) to make your profile pop and look super fabulous.<br />

10. <b>Utilize and Network</b>- All of these tips won't do you any good unless you utilize LinkedIn and use it as a networking tool. That means reaching out to career groups on discussion boards and using your contacts to introduce you to their contacts. Whatever your goals may be, you must find a way to make LinkedIn beneficial to you. Don't be afraid to be outgoing and take initiative. You never know where that next opportunity may be!<br />

Was a little nervous at first (I've never done a podcast before) but I had the best time. This week we talked about the Veronica Mars movie, the new James Brown biopic trailer GET ON UP, the Tiger Lily controversy involving Rooney Mara, and much more. Listen and let us know what you think about tonight's episode.

In a very revealing moment Ragnar chats with one of Horick’s

Still pissed that Ragnar broke off the deal, Jorg Borg tries

Ragnar and the crew leave, and they encounter a big case of torrential rain, which rocks their Viking ship of course. They finally make it to land and they swarm in for the raid.
However, they are soon surrounded by soldiers and are bombarded by arrows,
killing off many. In a moment of bravery Athelstan saves Ragnar’s life and is awarded
a Viking bracelet (which I guess is the equivalent of a diploma), which means he’s legit now and Ragnar is a proud Viking
papa.</div>

Season 2 starts with the opposing forces of Jarl Borg and King Horik (but
really Team Rollo and Team Ragnar) facing off in a remote, deserted area. As the battle begins,
blood starts flying and men are falling out left and right. However, all we really care about is Rollo beating the life out of our dear Floki. The previews made it look like Floki was going out in the first episode, so praise be to Thor's golden locks that he was spared (<i>House of Cards</i> has made my heart black and
cynical when it comes to character deaths...)<o:p></o:p></div>

After all that talk about taking Ragnar down, Rollo realizes that he could never truly turn against his flesh and blood and surrenders.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Set on the remote island of Inishmaan off the west coast of
Ireland, word arrives that a Hollywood film is being made on the neighboring
island of Inishmore. The one person who wants to be in the film more than
anybody is young Cripple Billy (Radcliffe), if only to break away from the
bitter tedium of his daily life. McDonagh’s comic masterpiece examines an
ordinary coming-of-age in extraordinary circumstances and confirms his position
as one of the most original Irish voices to emerge in the second half of the
twentieth century. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Tonight I had the privilege of attending one of Film Society
Lincoln Center’s series of interviews called Free Talks. Since these tickets
are free, I couldn’t pass up the chance of seeing the actor who is really
having a great year right now. If you had told me 9 years ago that I would,
willingly, wait 2 hours to hear Matthew McConaughey talk about one of his films, I
would’ve thought you were mentally insane and would suggest you go seek
professional treatment immediately. 9 years ago McConaughey was a joke, producing mostly subpar to
awful films. Nothing that showcased his range as an actor outside the romantic comedy genre, but definitely his perky and tight pectorals and <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="44d7f007-42a3-4828-b4a8-cedcf2237f43" id="b7525a9d-027c-4960-b931-b8c6fc418a1b"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="63fee52b-ed49-4eaf-8a3c-56c5d51cd38e" id="407e13c7-8d2d-45c0-843a-8ce0da1455be">abs</span></span>. And, to me
at least, it was like he was content being the go-to romantic male lead and had
no interest in growing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then in 2011 McConaughey's career took a hit of Espresso and he
kicked off the beginning of his career resurrection with the<i> Lincoln Lawyer</i> and
the film that really changed how I saw him, <i>Killer Joe</i>. Have you seen <i>Killer
Joe</i>? McConaughey is scary as a all get out. <i>Killer Joe </i>is so good that it’s ridiculous. McConaughey slays the role, and
it bewilders me that he didn’t get a nominated for such a performance. Then
came <i>Magic Mike</i> which had a lot of people thinking he would get a Supporting
Actor nod (which I thought was a long shot, but I do agree he was pretty great
as Dallas. Check out my review of the film <a href="http://thenewyorkcityfilmchick.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/magic-mike-review-abs-thongs-and-ding.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With the obvious career boost after several duds, it’s not
hard to understand why I wanted to hear him talk about his role in the <i>Dallas
Buyer’s Club</i>.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Physically McConaughey is very handsome. He’s no longer the
young stud from <i>Dazed and Confused</i>, but he has aged nicely. He was
looking like the true <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="b9e37b4d-30d7-44c6-b0b9-7e5ff6bbd280" id="d879e139-53f7-4daa-990b-44687c073f2f">thespian</span> with a well tailored, gray, three piece suit, a
long, black pea coat, and a gray scarf which I desperately wanted to rock myself.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Listening to Matthew talk is like sitting on a front porch
with a good buddy <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="e2c28cfe-5c6b-4515-b1a4-86458a826808" id="29b94028-47d8-496a-a0e4-2d512ebd2f0e"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="1d38cc95-c9bc-450c-a9c8-0c67d1a3f8ec" id="1ed907ce-7672-4bd6-bd83-6019054d4683">on</span></span> a hot summer day, as you sip Peach ice tea, while rocking
in a rocking chair. He just oozes that southern charisma that makes him so
likable (and as a girl who was raised by two southern parents, I know a real southern gentleman when I see one. McConaughey is the real deal, y'all.) Whenever he was telling a story, whether it was funny or serious, he
would always lean into the audience, like he was letting us in on a secret. However, I could tell that behind that
charm was a man who really had something to prove. When he was talking about
his acting and the process he goes through when approaching a character, I was
kind of gobsmacked. Not that I thought he was just winging it his entire
career, but I didn’t expect so much thoughtfulness and depth from him.</div>

I couldn’t get my question answered, but don’t worry <i>True

Out of all the films at NYFF this year, I was determined to
see Only Lovers Left Alive. I love Tilda Swinton and I have grown to like Tom
Hiddleston. And they were in a vampire movie that didn’t <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="642aef3b-4183-439d-b947-6e1da8ef2d6b" id="e335b56e-4bf8-4c7f-a128-a6dd19c8896b">involve</span> teenage angst

manage to grab a ticket to one of the showings later on that week.<o:p></o:p></div>

This film isn’t long, but it may feel like it is based on
long scenes of instrumental swells and dialogue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, just be
prepared to check your watch on occasion. Granted, this may be, because I was
running on 5 hours of sleep and just walked out of seeing <i>HER</i>. <o:p></o:p></div>

humor surprised me greatly and drew me in off the bat. Playing the <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="75edbc0f-1096-4040-82c2-23fceba2529b" id="74cdfb1a-c14b-41f4-baaa-fb2d34701ebe">antithesis</span> of each other, Adam
(Hiddleston) is a somber,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>rock musician,
who is growing tired of the world around him. The word “emo” is so played out,
but in this case it describes Adam to a “T.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

life and tries to draw Adam from his hole of depression.<o:p></o:p></div>

There is no real plot to the movie. There are several
conflicts that arise, but overall it’s sort of a slice of life piece.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> You follow these cool, sexy vampire couple around Detroit as they try to deal with the constantly changing world. </span>It’s a very beautiful looking film as well. It captures that Dracula Gothicism while incorporating some elements of rock <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="2018c740-d1ca-4923-b57f-23ac4850868a" id="505c9f00-0fe3-41a6-81ec-53f4a5cbc6fb"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="93acf27f-0cfd-4478-b589-f26e426e1df7" id="c9b601e1-5abe-450d-bdb7-727c9e81c9dc">n'roll</span></span>. Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton have a very nice chemistry. There is a sweetness between them that is so intriguing, and you get the sense <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="edd41a1c-8672-4c97-9c0e-9a72350a209a" id="10410cd2-f8d7-4ea9-8266-d60e83006b0a"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="cc14550f-b23a-4d9a-9b0d-46318dc96584" id="39c08ff1-91f6-4972-baef-0d205da16915">that that the actors</span></span> themselves are quite fond of each other.

When I first read the plot for Spike Jonze’s HER I was
immediately turned off. I have always been a fan of Jonze and his originality
has a filmmaker. But come on, how can you make a story about a guy falling in
love with his computer interesting and not creepy or pathetic?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
HER is the story of a lonely guy named Theodore (Joaquin Phoenix), who is assigned a home operating system called OS1. The OS1, voiced by <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="4c350bce-5231-4d22-bb65-cf4df69bc808" id="0e182998-3e2e-45a6-9c87-b7453bfd2fbb">Scarltett</span> Johansson, is named Samantha, and she and Theodore begins this world wind, unconventional, romantic relationship. When I walked into the press screening today, I had no idea that I would love this movie as much as I did. The film even received bug reactions from the usually reserved press, which I found very telling. There is one scene in particular involving phone sex and a cat, which will be embedded in my mind for a long time (trust me, it's hilarious.) Besides, the comedy, the film is also undeniably sweet and sentimental. Like you're floating on a cloud for a good portion of the film (maybe it's the coffeehouse soundtrack that puts me in a calming mood, I'm not sure.) You just become very invested in Samantha and Theodore's relationship, and you do (despite the peculiarity) want them to together.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjuoxrMrk92Lb4w53dhyphenhyphencE5C6-z6_HOSgzVU46SJZIoU0lbxgQGB1NpzaWUZizmGnTYZFbUMpcZpssWVPBNqIM2hVcnlumW1yj-cz5IGnTMdTZDj5tZaOR7AQ3qUcUPLHuVFkXFHo9qXk/s1600/H0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjuoxrMrk92Lb4w53dhyphenhyphencE5C6-z6_HOSgzVU46SJZIoU0lbxgQGB1NpzaWUZizmGnTYZFbUMpcZpssWVPBNqIM2hVcnlumW1yj-cz5IGnTMdTZDj5tZaOR7AQ3qUcUPLHuVFkXFHo9qXk/s1600/H0.jpg" height="225" width="400" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The real stand outs are the leads Phoenix and Johansson, who
create this romantic world for themselves despite their strange situation. You completely forget that Samantha is a computer and you start to believe that she is this
real living breathing person. I don’t know the rules for award season, but
don’t be shocked if people start pitching<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>a nomination for Scarlett. It really is extraordinary work on her part.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And Phoenix is just a chameleon, I swear. Seeing Joaquin in
<i>HER</i> and then seeing him right after for the press Q &A was like day and
night. Phoenix was acting a tiny erratic
and looked like he still needed a few hours of sleep. He gave a few awkward answers
which amused me greatly (some were not that amused I learned later.) </div>

One thing I loved was the color palette for the film. I
didn’t know how to describe it, until Jonze said the color scheme was inspired

Writing a review for this film is going to be extremely
difficult for me. Not because of the subject matter, but because putting into
words how incredible this movie <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="16f023b5-5dcd-467b-8cf5-f4d4d8980527" id="01d98fbf-7dd7-4575-9a19-df597c3fa99f">was, will be</span> damn near impossible. I have been a fan of Steve McQueen for a very long time.
Hunger gave me chills and Shame emotionally drained me. A McQueen film always
resonates with me no matter how I feel about the movie as a whole. When I heard he was going to tackle the memoirs of Solomon <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="265b2ea7-5fe9-4ffd-b9cf-75ac2244e6b5" id="43761e49-e94f-46b1-a25f-afee8a2639fd"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="3a8691a8-d775-41ce-be4e-fac41169e469" id="9cebf881-703b-4112-b854-bc89e505efae"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="529b240b-b757-4ac3-822b-027e00d48dbf" id="61be6cca-429f-473f-afcc-fff8dc124cb8">Northrope</span></span></span> the first thing I thought
was “Oh, this is going to get real.” As I’ve said in the past, Steve McQueen doesn’t shy away from
uncomfortable topics. In person he is
very frank and no nonsense. Instead of

<i>12 years a Slave</i> follows the story of Solomon Northup, a free black man, who is abducted and enslaved for 12 years. Solomon is determined to survive despite impossible odds and dreams of one day reunite with his family in New York.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
This movie hit it out of the park when it comes to ensemble
casting. There is not one <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="c1ec0bde-3de6-4774-8bcc-69dda6757375" id="e4ba953c-21e6-4dbd-a16b-d1bda5de031d">weak</span> link in the film at all. Everyone plays their
part and it adds to the already heart wrenching story. Chiwetel Ejiofor will be nominated. I’m saying it right now. The <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="b534400e-b64b-40c0-97b0-c5c81c5f4b48" id="c4fe7e85-112c-4eb5-9470-e769ded79039">Academy</span>
has ignored some great performances, but they can’t ignore this one. There is a scene
where Solomon just stares at the camera and it’s one of the most heartbreaking
moments in the film. Ejiofor lays everything on the table and showcases a performance range, which will blow you away.<br />

And you can't write a review on this film without mentioning Michael Fassbender, an actor who came in, guns blazing, last year with McQueen's Shame. After last year's disappointing snub from the <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="050dc924-152f-4163-85a9-9e470595fd44" id="56286907-cd43-47d0-b450-8d38408ffbe3"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="0f9fe4ad-00a1-4ecd-a981-a3b751634f49" id="85e84e0e-1499-46aa-b762-73ab8369a8dd">Acadmey</span></span>, Fassbender comes again with another amazing <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="050dc924-152f-4163-85a9-9e470595fd44" id="4d3a1eaf-134e-40ec-9f03-48064bb3e4f9"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="0f9fe4ad-00a1-4ecd-a981-a3b751634f49" id="912671f0-64b9-4a07-9e3b-ef24403b3a8b">perforamance</span></span> as the slave owner Edwin Epps whose cruelty and ruthlessness knows no bounds.

I could go on and on about each actor and actress, and how

12 Years a Slave is not for the faint of heart, but it is an important film and
one that should be discussed right afterwards.<o:p></o:p><br />

While I was spending my summer in the UK, I took it upon
myself to see some movies. During the trailers, I noticed that this character
“Alan Patridge” would pop up and give
some goofy pre-movie <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="a49fe251-8b25-4311-b372-a6fab176bddf" id="6e0fe71a-4073-46e0-a586-2d615ef9ebe3"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="be60576f-2c93-4cc7-8fc8-e8bfb6915be9" id="b31ddaac-072b-4d1f-b28d-38a062e7d0b6">psa</span></span> <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="a49fe251-8b25-4311-b372-a6fab176bddf" id="ced36ef0-abdc-460c-8d8b-2ca5aaf28655">about</span> turning off your <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="a49fe251-8b25-4311-b372-a6fab176bddf" id="b75aebc0-a699-4bb4-a068-b65d2c766748">cell phones</span>. Didn’t really think
much of it, until a co-worker informed me that Alan Patridge was the creation
of Steve Coogan, and was very popular in Britain.<br />

Alan Partridge, a bumbling, clock radio DJ, soon finds himself in a bit of a predicament when his career is on the line. After throwing his friend under the bus, he is soon swept up in a hostage situation, which gains media attention (much to Alan's delight.) Partidge becomes the head negotiator and must try to calm the situation before it turns violent.<br />

I wrote a paper on the matter while I was studying in London, and started to notice a lot of the classic characteristics in this film. This is an extremely British film. Plain and simple. Queen
and country. It was intended to cater to a British audience. I saw this movie twice (press and general audience) and there were way more laughs in the general screening, funny enough. There were many fans of Steve Coogan in the audience as well, so that was probably part of the reason. During the Q & A Steve Coogan admitted that he was
surprised that the film was making its US debut at NYFF, because it didn’t seem
like the type of film that would fit. Steve then started talking about the difference between American humor and British humor and how it's evolved over the years. Coogan also brought up the fact that American love when their protagonists are confident and cool while the English enjoy when their characters are kind of losers and average Joe's. This holds true to the character Alan Patridge, who prides himself on being suave and above it all, but is really kind of a schmuck.<br />

isn’t a second that goes by where you’re not completely on edge. I squirmed in my seat as I watched Phllips go through hell and back, knowing that he could be killed at any moment.<br />
<br />
Hanks’s <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="5801ebe0-35e9-4287-91e6-8cb94a8088eb" id="52858d11-9274-4c86-9548-450079f1287b">portrayal</span> of Captain Phillips is nothing short of excellent. There is a <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="2b33ce29-a7fa-4feb-956a-800e14eb2d3f" id="9967eb75-3c51-4821-b238-ae062a210bb0">sincerity</span> to his <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="2b33ce29-a7fa-4feb-956a-800e14eb2d3f" id="f250bfd2-9c44-4477-b6f1-ed156d4be404">performance, which</span> makes you worry about his safety throughout the entire <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="2b33ce29-a7fa-4feb-956a-800e14eb2d3f" id="b69e5242-95fd-42a8-94c5-94d8449ba15d">movie</span>. His performance elevates until it hits a boiling point in the last 10 minutes of the movie (a scene which alone should get him a nomination.)<br />
<br />
One actor who is getting major buzz is newcomer is Barkhad Abdi who plays Bilal. Once a <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="65a09af8-9266-4d97-8049-b15acd821f84" id="14bef14c-25de-4fa9-8673-25ff39e38481">limo</span> driver, he is now in talks for a nomination! Amazing, since this is his very first acting role. From the way he presents himself, to his interactions with Hanks, you are always on your toes. The movie gives no room to breathe, and that's what I loved so much about it. Not sure how much creative license the film took from the real situation, but it did keep me focused for the 2 hours and 14 minutes.<br />

several times throughout the screening. It did start to get a bit repetitive at points, which made the time feel a bit longer as well.<br />

As you would expect, Tom Hanks was an actual treasure. He answered, press questions with charm and humor (and made a dig about how much he hated stupid interview questions. Don't we all, Tom.)

I, honestly, don't expect this film to sweet the awards season, but at the very least they will get nominations for acting, directing, and maybe camera work as well. Captain Phillips was definitely an excellent way to start NYFF 13.</div>

Love. Revenge. Death. Fire. And apparently motorcycles. This is what you get when you take Shakespeare's most famous love story and shake it up with a modern twist. I will be the first to say that in high school, Romeo and Juliet was never my favorite story. Growing up in a modern world where the idea of love and courtship has been reduced to texting, <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="6b6230eb-cacc-4758-a01d-461319b89f89" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="66bc5367-76c5-41ee-ab27-062991641606" grcontextid="winky:0">winky</span> face <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="50f47a27-008b-4a9e-9419-e462a3163eef" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="66bc5367-76c5-41ee-ab27-062991641606" grcontextid="emoji:1">emoji</span> cons, and other technological advancements, it's so easy to write off the star crossed lovers as stupid, immature and selfish. However, David Leveaux has brought a light sweetness to the Broadway stage, which made me see the play differently for the first time.</div>

The show starts off with a bang (no, seriously there's fire and everything) and the distinguished Friar Lawrence (played by Brent Carver) introduces the show. The moment, the show started I fell head over heels in love with the set. The use of muted colors, the mixture of afro-fusion and rustic Italian, made the shows overall feel modern, but not so much that it dilutes the original language of the Bard. I personally thought the set design and lighting were very clever and appealing.</div>

Now, I must agree with the majority of people that say that the chemistry between Rashad and Bloom was lacking the hot passion that most were expecting. I would say that it's not so much fiery, but rather a slight simmer. The passion is dully brewing but never reaches a complete boil.

It was like watching a dream, and I honestly didn't mind it. Condola Rashad (who I unfortunately, missed in <i>Stick Fly</i> and <i>The Trip to Bountiful</i>) cranks Juliet's innocence to 11 as her doe eyed gazes of wonderment makes her rash displays of love believable. She is docile, soft, and absolutely gorgeous. Did she knock it out of the park? Not exactly, but there is a charm <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="de31be45-b045-4b97-859b-22a4b70a97bf" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="d3236db3-da01-4fa9-ada5-1a200a739564" grcontextid="to:0">to</span></div>

Rashad's performance, which touched me. This is the same for Bloom whom I admit I have a soft spot for. After a few clunkers at the box office, he has been in dire need of a career boost. Despite what others may say, I think Orlando is a good actor (and lets be honest there are MUCH worse still working today.) When it was announced that he was playing the role of a young Romeo at the age of 36, there was an outcry coming from all over saying that he was way too old (completely ignoring the fact that older men have played the part before him.) The age is not a factor. Honestly, unless it really bothers you that he's in his mid-thirties, there is no way it can make a real difference. <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="854fd233-80d2-4eb2-8dd7-99e03a52dc3e" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="3fe72b2f-828c-407e-9be8-a9e6faafdcd4" grcontextid="Bloom:0">Bloom</span> is still very youthful in his features, and he plays Romeo's naivety so well that you believe it. For his Broadway debut, I feel that he did a great job, and I would love to see him do more stage work.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
However, these performances could not have stood alone. It is indeed the immense talent of the supporting cast which gives the show its sturdy backbone. The stand outs including Christian Camargo (Mercutio), Jane Houdyshell (Nurse), Chuck Cooper (Lord Capulet), Roslyn Ruff (Lady Capulet), and Justin Guarini (Paris). Seriously, if you see the show for anything, see it for this fantastic group of actors and actresses.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This show is Shakespeare lite. It's not going to blow the roof off the theatre. There are very few moments that are truly powerful (though the ones that are, are really fantastic.) The show is going to divide people, and I can see why anyone would say this show is empty. However, at the end I found myself welling up. For the first time, I finally saw the beauty within the tragedy and it really made me realize why this play is so loved. I truly did enjoy this show. If you're looking for a deep, dark story about two lovers with a fiery passion that would rival the sun then, sorry you're not going to get it. However, if you want to see a mild show full of sweetness, innocence, and an excellent cast then definitely check it out. <span style="color: magenta;">B+ </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Predicted to be one of the this year's brightest stars, Naomie Harris covers this month's <i>Moves</i> magazine. The article starts with a statement that I feel perfectly describes Ms. Harris:</span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></i>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 23px;"><i><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These days, we prefer our stars complicated and multi-faceted. We want accomplishment and poise. We want grace and wit. We want intelligence and motivation and depth, and we want it wrapped in a package of style and sex appeal and stunning good looks.</span></i></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 23px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You will be hard pressed to find a young actress that fits that bill as perfectly as Naomie Harris. Aside from her multiple film roles she has a level of class and sophistication which, just puts others to shame. Read what she had to say about her new film <i>Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom</i> and her character Winnie Mandela (<a href="http://www.newyorkmoves.com/?p=4891" target="_blank">x</a>)</span></span></div>

<span class="GingerNoCheckStart"></span>With the announcement of the winners for the 2013 Toronto Film Festival awards, we can now officially close what I feel has been a great 10 days of cinema. Many films have risen (and fallen) with their critical reception. And with the New York Film Festival starting in a couple of weeks (more on that later) we can now start whispering about award season (notice I say <i>whispering</i> <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="5fdeda5b-534c-417a-932a-d7a31a90a49b" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="ae82f3b2-d3ce-4145-b57f-00c1dcebda74" grcontextid="for:0">for</span> the people who say it's too early for that kind of talk.) If you were on Twitter living vicariously through your Twitter followers who were lucky enough to see these films and/or hobnob with all your favorite peeps at parties and such, then you probably missed out on a few reviews. In case you're not sure how a film was received at the festival, here are a few reviews I've compiled to give you a tiny sense of what you might want to know. Also to find out what audience members had to say, just search the film's title followed by "TIFF" on Twitter....<br />

As much as I love musicals, there is nothing better than a thrilling stage drama. Here is your chance to win tickets to one of the most anticipated shows out right now:<br />
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><i>A Time to Kill</i></span>, the popular courtroom drama, tells the emotionally charged, now-iconic story of a young, idealistic lawyer, Jake Brigance, defending a black man, Carl Lee Hailey, for taking the law into his own hands following an unspeakable crime committed against his young daughter. Their small Mississippi town is thrown into upheaval, and Jake finds himself arguing against the formidable district attorney, Rufus Buckley, and under attack from both sides of a racially divided city. This drama is a thrilling courtroom battle where the true nature of what is right and what is moral are called into question.</div>
<div class="p1">

<div class="p1">
This stellar cast includes Sebastian Arcelus, Chike Johnson, Patrick Page, Tony Award® winner Tonya Pinkins, Emmy Award® winner Tom Skerritt, Fred Dalton Thompson, John Douglas Thompson, and Ashley Williams plus Dashiell Eaves, J.R. Horne, John Procaccino, Tijuana Ricks, and Lee Sellars.</div>

To say that I was anxiously waiting for the <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="193574ee-395b-4f9d-b155-f5e730172a90" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="1e7e6dd1-8e51-4692-abaa-e0ef70983c7e" grcontextid="lne:0">line</span>up for this year's New York Film Festival would be an understatement. The start of the film festival season is always an exciting time for me; especially living in New York. Since, I'm too poor for Cannes, too far from SXSW, and can't travel to the Toronto Film Festival, <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="cdbb8610-165b-42b2-b308-7d0deb81b335" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="5cb8f0af-40b6-4f09-a75d-a4ac453ddb3b" grcontextid="NYFF:0"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="fc157153-4237-490d-a851-db1d6b799aeb" id="7eeff22b-dc5f-4fb4-a565-707a63796122">NYFF</span></span> is my only saving grace (until Tribeca next year.) Last year my schedule was so busy, that I was only able to catch a few films (one being the secret screening of <i>Lincoln</i> where I later shook the hand of Mr. Steven Spielberg.) This year my schedule is set and I'm happy to say that I will be able to see a handful of films from this year's selection. When the list was released I was both excited and a tad disappointed. I think most would agree that the selection this year is very impressive and any <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="0d4d87b3-66a8-44be-8859-6fc7227986ab" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="2432afe6-f104-44c2-b7c1-9d93af0e2de1" grcontextid="film-y:0"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="10d8e6d1-a88f-4982-8d62-48c2cabd79c9" id="26f29532-f896-4d75-b51a-6d8db5b5148b">film-y</span></span> would be in heaven (and trust me, I am.) However, there were a few films that I was really hoping would come our way (mostly from Toronto.) Most of the films showing at the NYFF were also shown at Cannes, which is pretty exciting. Sure, it was probably a bummer for the lucky people who went to Cannes and saw these films already, but for us this is a real treat.<br />
<br />
I'll get my disappointments out of the way because it's very small and insignificant. I have been moaning about not being able to attend the Toronto Film Festival. Every year around the time of the festival I am back in NY starting my classes. This year is no exception and it is killing me. The selection is so good and I really did have my heart set on a few films coming to NYFF. The few films I was hoping to see overall <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="7c8f5cee-cd62-41d2-aabe-68385c550440" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="9f52f1b4-4302-4e06-93e6-2017ea195c46" grcontextid="were:0"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="8c0ed2db-f82a-4e2c-a7a8-e3f72e776357" id="845bfb60-e6f2-4ca0-af82-851c51dfd817">were</span></span>:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>12 Years A Slave</b>- When it was mentioned that a few returning directors would be showing their films at NYFF I immediately thought of Steve McQueen. I was in attendance when <i>Shame</i> made its US film debut at NYFF 2 years ago, and was really hoping <i>12 Years a Slave</i> would be there this year.</li>
<li><b>The Wolf of Wall Street</b>- Some people still think this might be the secret screening (I doubt it, personally....) but I thought this would've been nice to see. Considering the subject matter, it would make for the film to make its grand debut at NYFF to generate some buzz.</li>
<li><b>American Hustle</b>- I know, I know, it was a long shot. A girl can dream, can't she!?</li>
<li><b><span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_noSuggestion GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="389b8cbc-420f-452d-b459-2471f6cf34e4" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="13c96526-a3ad-434e-bf53-b9f5e6107911" grcontextid="Foxcatcher:0"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="96d64bf4-eb5d-4208-be5b-02ad43706100" id="44a34479-ee18-4f46-89c2-1cef118b7bbf">Foxcatcher</span></span></b>- This film is getting so much attention and I was crossing my fingers that it would pop up on the list. Again, it was a long shot, but I am pretty sure it will play at a festival sometime soon.</li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: center;">
There are actors who are just so good and talented that it kind of freaks you out a bit. Joaquin Phoenix is one of those actors for me.

I want to see this one badly. I love Tilda, I love Tom. I feel that they will redeem this poor vampire genre, that has been so badly abused by young adult films, books, and TV shows. Tilda is the Queen of weird, and this definitely looks weird, cool, sexy, and strange. I mean, how can you pass up a film like that?</div>

I didn't know a lot <i>Nebraska</i> before this was announced, but from what I've heard (and read) this is a must see when it comes to the actors' performances. I am a fan of Will Forte from SNL fame and I love when comedic actors' break out into other genres.</div>

My assignment afterwards was to write a story about an adventure Mitty would dream about (since he has such an active imagination.) I made Walter become a Clark Gable type movie star who was walking the red carpet of his own premiere. It was good. I got an A. I was always intrigued by the story and I like that they've updated the story to make it fresh and new. Again, this will be a big seller. </div>

While I was in London this summer I would see a lot of this character named Alan Patridge. Had no clue who Steve Coogan was playing, but apparently this character is pretty popular in the UK. So much so that it is now coming to the festival. It's an interesting choice and one I was surprised to see on the list. However, I love British comedies and I am missing London at the moment.</div>

The internet just exploded about an hour ago as <a href="http://www.thewrap.com/movies/column-post/ben-affleck-set-play-batman-man-steel-sequel-112801" target="_blank">The Wrap</a> was the first to announce that actor, activist, director, former tabloid fodder, and Oscar winner, Ben Affleck would be taking over the coveted role of Bruce Wayne in Zack Snyder's <i>Man of Steel</i> sequel (which will have Batman <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="04f93cdc-556f-40dd-a784-b65f24236859" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="16e92918-4e55-4ed6-8a1b-86fa0b798325" grcontextid="facing:0">facing</span> off with Henry Cavill's Superman.) It was an unexpected choice and I can't say I'm disappointed. I was never THAT invested in who would play the role, and frankly I'm glad that we can put the inane casting rumors to bed. Whether he will be a good successor to Christian Bale is left to be unsaid. I do love a surprise when it comes to casting, and it will intrigue me to see how this all plays out. First, I want to know how they decided on Affleck and how they got him to take on the role. It is an interesting move career-wise, and it can either go really <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="62f8e069-9a5f-46f1-9ef1-7e8b9e5dec93" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="a591ac9d-b727-4b5d-a4f0-0ec6b726f61d" grcontextid="good:0">good</span> or REALLY badly. In my personal opinion I found the casting to be a bit uninspired. I was hoping for a dark horse, underdog of an actor to play the part and shock everyone. However, it's not a downright awful choice (compared to the names they were dropping as potential candidates.)<br />
<br />
Secondly, I really want to know how Affleck will portray Bruce Wayne. I wouldn't mind if Affleck's Batman was funny and brought some levity to the role. The reason I'm saying this is because when acting alongside Cavill who is so stony and serious in his demeanor, we need his counterpart to bring some sort of charm to balance it out. Can you imagine if Christian Bale's Batman was with Cavill's Superman? Sure it would be an interesting watch, but it would be so melancholy and serious in tone. I'm not saying that Affleck needs to be a RDJ/ Tony Stark type who pulls out little quips every 2 seconds, but I think it would be nice if the Batman was a little playful and just messed with Cavill as the straight man of the pair.<br />
<br />
I really am not mad by this choice. I think it's a little boring and safe on paper. However, I am very interested in how this will go. And ladies, you have to admit, this is a pretty hot duo.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One thing you must know is that this will not be your typical rendition of the classic tale. Not only will this be the first time in 36 years that the show will be on Broadway, but it will have a modern twist while still staying true to Shakepeare's original language. You've never seen the story told like this, and I personally can't wait!</span></div>
