Heroes of the East
Cal's Heroes of the East is a regularly updated blog about the kind of movies that often get overlooked or even totally ignored amid more mainstream fare. His focus on Asian cinema and martial arts, with the odd diversion into other areas, means that he has carved out a unique area for himself on FilmJournal that's consistently informative and entertaining.

Odd Man Out
Thanks for the write-up, I just saw Odd Man Out (in the Bluray edition, simply fantastic visuals) and can't get it out of my head. Together with The Fallen Idol and of course The Third Man, Reed certainly created a trilogy of sorts that can stand with almost any director....

Iron Man 3
IM3 comes off as the weakest of all the Iron Man films (including cameos). In the run up to seeing this there was all this talk of the film taking a different direction, posters and trailers showed a darker tone. But in the end we got more of the same but far less entertaining and far more unrealistic villains. Ok, granted Iron Man fought Aliens in...

Top 10 Films to be Snubbed for Best Picture at the Oscars
When thinking about the ultimate top 10 films list it is easy to look at the Academy Awards and its past winners for inspiration. But just as best film lists differ from viewer to viewer and critic to critic, so do the great films in the eyes of the Oscars. Indeed, when looking at the Best Picture winners since the Academy Awards first began, you b...

Sight & Sound Greatest Films 2012: caption competition
‘I'm sorry, Mr Welles: there's been a Hitch…’ The Sight & Sound ‘Greatest Films’ poll for this decade has now been out for a couple of days, and already it seems too late to discuss it. However, that may not stop me putting my oar in. (Spoiler: I plan to call it ‘The Wrong Hitchcock’.) For the time being, the picture and caption...

Football As Never Before
To Be The Best... Saturday, September 12, 1970. A watery northern European sun lights a crisp autumn afternoon at Old Trafford, where a crowd of 48,939 fans of Association Football have gathered to watch Manchester United of the English First Division play Coventry City. It was also the day where Hellmuth Costard, one of the most important ex...

"SOCIALIZËM" - film francez me regji te Jean-Luc Godard
Sot lexova kete, Stalker: Sergei Paradjanov, homazhe bukurisë (PPU)....... 3 Maj 2013 "Përgjatë xhirimeve të këtij filmi, Paradjanov pati thënë: “Mendoj se filmat më të mirë do ishin bërë për shurdhmemecët. Ne flasim shumë, ka shumë fjalë tek ne. Ne fundosemi në fjalë, në aq shumë fjalë. Vetëm në balet ne shohim bu...

I. Filmat e Abbas Kiarostamit :
NE ASNJE MENYRE nuk mund te ishte "me i shkurter" as "where is..." , as filma te tjere, qofte te Kiarostamit, qofte te mjeshterve te tjere (psh, "Stalker", per te folur per filma konkrete). Pse? Sepse vetem te ishte budalla Kiarostami, te mos kish kuptuar qe duhet te "shkurtonte" filmin ;) Sigurisht qe NUK duhet te ishte me i shkurter. Eshte spekt...

Ndersa ne fakt, ndoqa “The certified copy”. I cili me kujtoi perse une nuk shof filma dhe prandaj ndoshta nuk ndodhet as ne listen tende te top 7 films per kete autor. “Where is my friend’s house” ishte nje film i bukur. Por ndjenja e vuajtjes (suffering) qe transmeton, zgjat kaq shume, sa te le ne ankth. Te mbyt reagimi indiferent,...

Pas nje shikimi te dyte te "FILM SOCIALISME" (regjia : JL Godard)
Dhe jo vetem deti, ne fakt. Edhe zhurmat. Godard i ka lene mikrofonet e hapur (si zakonisht xhanem); perputhja e zerave me imazhin, as qe behet fjale. Por per mua 'funksionojne' per bukuri. Por e pranoj se edhe mund te snuk. Por edhe zhurmat, aty hyjne, tek hiper-realiteti...

Ate mendova edhe une, ndoshta nga deti i trazuar (ne te vertete s'kam probleme udhetimi me ujin, token apo ajrin). Sic thote Alex te Clockwork Orange: “It’s funny how the colors of the real world only seem really real when you viddy them on the screen.” Gje qe na con serish tek hiper-realiteti i Baudrillard-it....

Para pak ditesh pashe dhe nja dy filma te tij te viteve '70 (jane te veshtire per tu gjetur) qe me kishin mbetur pa pare dhe e mbylla 'kapitullin' me të. Keshtu qe mund te them se 'socialisme' eshte nje nga dy-tre me te miret e tij, ever. Kaq per mua. Sa per "nausea"-n tende, duhet ta kesh patur nga deti. Shume i trazuar deti, apo jo ? ;) S'...

Autor, e pashe sot filmin, ose me sakte, u perpoqa. Nuk di c'te them, kalova nga nje gjendje "nausea" ne pergjumje, po shyqyr qe me mjaftoi ta fik. Lum ti qe e paske pare per here te dyte. :P Nuk i kam pare filmat e viteve '80 dhe '90 te tij, por ky me dukej si ato ko-produksionet e merzitshme. Quo vadis Godard?
