The Directors Page

02/13/2013

I was hoping someone who likes my directors page would be interested in taking it over? I am probably deleting my facebook account, as it is a pointless waste of time. I don't like people really, and socializing is pointless, and taking away from my real world. So... If you're interested email me. Kenny Doe, and I'll let you take it over.

Ahhh.... movie people, my actual friends. :) Given that most of us into film don't probably get too worked up over the Super Bowl, Given that football is insufferably long and boring. I thought that I would hook you all up with a great film to watch, and it's on netflix streaming if you like. But I'm sure you could find it on dvd used at your local Exchange-like shop. The title is called...

Bicycle Thieves. 1948. Director Vittorio De Sica.

There is a lot going on in this seemingly simple plot. Some fun facts about this film... :) The film is one of the greats that spawned as a result of Italian Noe-realism, and De Sica used unprofessional actors for all the parts (which means, non-actors). So the main characters of this movie are not trained actors. This is their first movie with no experience, and De Sica is simply a former actor that is such a good actor he's able to use that in his directing to get the actors in the film to do exactly what he wants. Although when you think about it, most people are acting every day in regular life to some degree, so I don't think it's as difficult as people may suggest...

Moving right along. If you're to watch this film on Netflix, (streaming) It will have the title of "Bicycle Thief" instead of it's true title "The Bicycle Thieves" There is a very interesting reason for this title switch, that happened when the film was first released in the U.S. If you watch the film, and you would like to know why the title was changed, email me, Kenny Doe, afterwords and I'll explain it to you. :)

I actually follow Roger Ebert's critiques. However I will say, one of the draw backs in film criticism, is that I feel, most critics, only have film history to use as a comparison to newer concepts, which are quickly evolving, due to technology, and the fan boys of old, growing up and making movies.

Here is Ebert's thoughts on the film Thor. Score 38... ?

The standards for comic book superhero movies have been established by "Superman," "The Dark Knight," "Spider-Man 2" and "Iron Man." In that company "Thor" is pitiful. Consider even the comparable villains (Lex Luthor, the Joker, Doc Ock and Obadiah Stane). Memories of all four come instantly to mind. Will you be thinking of Loki six minutes after this movie is over?

Here's Roger after The Avengers. Score 75... ?

When I see these six together, I can't help thinking of the champions at the Westminster Dog Show. You have breeds that seem completely different from one another (Labradors, poodles, boxers, Dalmatians), and yet they're all champions.

Ebert... Do you remember Loki now?
