Ok, it goes a little something like this. A Candian filmmaker called John Greyson, withdrew his short film from TIFF because he thought it was poor judgement for the festival…
Showing Hollywood How Its Done – #1
At the last moment I thought it would be best to stick to the Tues/Fri format of the pic battle for this new ongoing poll idea.
As mentioned before, this will pass the time until we kick off with a new pic battle in the new year. I’m not entirely convinced how successful this is going to be, but if nothing else it should be an interesting social experiment.
The idea is to create a synopsis/treatment for a film that Natalie would hypothetically star in. On Tues/Fri a new list of options will go up, that build on what has come before. Its probably unlikely but the idea is to have a semi cohesive story outline at the end of the experiment.
I’ll talk about it a bit more after the jump but here is the link for the voting page, which is (hopefully) ready to go.
Berardinelli Weighs In
Reviews have really been all over the place for Love and Other Impossible Pursuits, making it kind of hard to know what to expect. Hopefully someone will buy it (not looking all that great at this point) so can find out for ourselves.
I quite like the critic James Berardinelli, and he’s generally quite a fan of Natalie’s work, but he wasn’t very taken with at least one side of Natalie’s performance.
Don Roos’ Love and Other Impossible Pursuits is a family drama that wants viewers to leave uplifted. Unfortunately, that’s not really what happens. The film’s success rests on the shoulders of Natalie Portman, but her performance is uneven. Portman is very good when it comes to scenes that require emotional distance and coldness, but when she is expected to show warmth and vulnerability, she is at times unconvincing. For the movie’s ending to have the impact Roos intends, she needs to be sympathetic, but that’s not in evidence.
