District 9

Starring Sharlto Copley, Jason Cope, David James, Mandla Gaduka, William Allen Young, Vanessa Haywood, Kenneth Nkosi and Devlin Brown.
Over twenty years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees from their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africa's District 9 as the world's nations argued over what to do with them. Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. Control over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi-National United (MNU), a private company uninterested in the aliens' welfare. MNU will receive tremendous profits if they can make the aliens' powerful weaponry work. So far, they have failed; activation of the weaponry requires alien DNA. The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head when MNU begins evicting the non-humans from District 9, with MNU field agents responsible for moving them to a new camp. One of the MNU field operatives, Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley), contracts an alien virus that begins changing his DNA. Wikus quickly becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the most valuable - he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology. Ostracized and friendless, there is only one place left for him to hide: District 9.







Generazione 1000 Euro

Con Alessandro Tiberi, Valentina Lodovini, Carolina Crescentini, Paolo Villaggio, Francesco Mandelli.
A Milano un gruppo di giovani neolaureati galleggia nell'orbita dell'instabilità esistenziale. Matteo, che si definisce un luogo comune, è un genio della matematica; nelle vesti di "cultore della materia" tiene lezioni sull'insostenibilità di Gödel, ma per tirare a campare lavora nel reparto marketing di un'azienda in odore di taglio del personale. L'amico e coinquilino Francesco mette in pratica la sua passione per la settima arte facendo il proiezionista in un cinema d'essay e osserva la vita come se fosse un film, dando un voto alle cose. Lasciato dalla fidanzata tirocinante in attesa di asportare il suo primo pancreas, e perse le sicurezze economiche di un terzo inquilino che li ha appena abbandonati con un debito, Matteo si trova diviso tra la passione e la ragione - e tra due donne che entrano con impeto nella sua vita - nell'eterna sospensione d'animo. Se nel 2001, con Santa Maradona, Marco Ponti metteva in scena il precariato in quel di Torino e sette anni dopo Paolo Virzì ribatteva da Roma con il grottesco Tutta la vita davanti, Massimo Venier trova a Milano - e nel libro omonimo di Antonio Incorvaia e Alessandro Rimassa - l'ambientazione ideale per far luce su un tema che affligge la generazione mille euro. Armato della sua solita delicatezza e di uno sguardo partecipe e insieme leggero, il regista di Chiedimi se sono felice s'incarica di raccogliere le esperienze comuni dei precari d'oggi convogliandole in una commedia pura, priva di quelle tinte nere che avevano contraddistinto gli impiegati senza contratto di Virzì. La trama articolata e godibile su più fronti offre agli interpreti lo spazio per caratterizzare i loro personaggi e renderli verosimili all'interno di una fiction che traduce la realtà alterandola in favore dell'impianto narrativo. Nell'utilizzare la matematica e i personaggi secondari come valore aggiunto, Venier trova una formula fatta di piccoli dettagli, di battute e puntuali osservazioni capaci di divertire e allo stesso tempo descrivere l'attuale panorama italiano avvolto dall'incertezza del futuro professionale e sentimentale dei giovani.

Along the way, the G-Force encounters myriad other members of the animal kingdom, including pet shop layabout Hurley (voice of Jon Favreau) and the rabidly territorial hamster Bucky (voice of Steve Buscemi).

As the Moorwen ravages the Viking world, killing everything in its path, Kainan forms an unlikely alliance with the primitive but fierce warriors. Combining his advanced technology with ancient Iron Age weapons, the hero leads a desperate attempt to kill the monster ... before it destroys them all.







Questione Di Cuore

Con Antonio Albanese, Kim Rossi Stuart, Micaela Ramazzotti, Francesca Inaudi, Andrea Calligari.
Angelo è un giovane carrozziere che accumula beni, Alberto uno sceneggiatore di successo che spreca parole. Colpiti al cuore da un infarto e dalla vita, vengono ricoverati nella stessa notte e nella stessa clinica. Vicini di letto e lontani di mondi, Angelo e Alberto scoprono una zona franca, dove scambiarsi emozioni, ricaricare il cuore e risollevare lo spirito. Angelo, padre di due figli e marito innamorato di Rossana, organizza il disagio seguito alla malattia, Alberto, fidanzato senza più voglie di Carla, esplora la sua infelicità e cerca parole per raccontarla. Dimessi dalla clinica, la casa di Angelo diventerà l'officina in cui mettere a punto il motore, il ricovero dove il Pigneto incontra la prima circoscrizione, il laboratorio dove lo scrittore ritrova la curiosità sincera di un'osservazione partecipe. Se Mignon è partita, Verso sera, L'albero delle pere e Lezioni di volo misuravano gli intervalli fra generazioni e le irriducibili incomprensioni fra padri/madri e figli/figlie, Questione di cuore confronta e incontra la stessa età. Da una parte il disagio agiato di uno sceneggiatore gaudente, dall'altra l'accomodante accomodare di un carrozziere familista. Francesca Archibugi, impartita la lezione a due acerbi sprovveduti che hanno rinunciato volontariamente a ogni impegno intellettuale, "rientra" dall'India nel paesaggio italiano, più peculiarmente romano e ampiamente frequentato dalla sua filmografia. Rincasa con un un'amicizia al maschile che diventa il pretesto per interrogarsi e indagare il rapporto tra realtà e scrittura. Esplorando la storia di due uomini di diversa estrazione culturale, attaccati ai reciproci pregiudizi di classe ma uniti dall'esperienza drammatica trascorsa nel reparto di terapia intensiva di un ospedale romano, la regista affronta le sue personali inquietudini riguardo alla crisi sociale e culturale del nostro paese. Storia e cronaca non entrano nel film se non attraverso "finestre aperte" sulla borgata e finiscono per riflettersi in maniera decisiva sulle esistenze e sui vincoli affettivi (e di classe) dei protagonisti. La vita colpita al cuore abbatte il rapporto di asimmetria sociale, determina un cambio o una liberazione nel modo in cui i "soggetti a rischio" si relazionano col mondo: l'aria da divo di Alberto, che consuma nel suo grande appartamento gli ultimi scampoli di un'ormai tramontata agiatezza, e il proletario senso pratico di Angelo, che ha cresciuto due figli e farà amorevolmente fronte all'inettitudine dell'amico. Nonostante la società abbia costruito fra di loro una barriera invalicabile, la necrosi del cuore li ha uniti, allentando i ruoli, aprendo la possibilità di guardarsi in modo diverso e progredendo verso una reciproca comprensione. Se l'Archibugi è indubbiamente abile a descrivere le sfumature del comportamento dei suoi personaggi, la raffinatezza di Questione di cuore si deve in grande misura all'interpretazione di Antonio Albanese e di Kim Rossi Stuart. Il primo mostrando la vulnerabilità che si cela sotto la superficie caustica, il secondo mantenendo una presenza più discreta e distaccata, ma non meno capace di suscitare venature di intenso sentimento. La storia di Alberto e Angelo invita lo spettatore a contemplare, nel contesto di due vite (stra)ordinarie, i paradossi dell'amicizia, il vincolo di necessità e di affetto sincero che la patologia cardiovascolare e la malattia esistenziale hanno stabilito.







The Taking Of Pelham 123

Starring Denzel Washington, John Travolta, John Turturro, Luis Guzman, Michael Rispoli, James Gandolfini and Ramon Rodriguez.
New York City subway dispatcher Walter Garber's (Denzel Washington) ordinary day is thrown into chaos by an audacious crime: the hijacking of a subway train. Ryder (John Travolta), a criminal mastermind and leader of a highly-armed gang of four, threatens to execute the train's passengers unless a large ransom is paid within one hour. As the tension mounts beneath his feet, Garber employs his vast knowledge of the subway system in a battle to outwit Ryder and save the hostages. But there's one riddle Garber can't solve: even if the thieves get the money, how can they possibly escape?

Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet's operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind.







Up

A feisty septuagenarian teams with a fearless wilderness ranger to do battle with a vicious band of beasts and villains in this computer-animated adventure scripted by Pixar veteran Bob Peterson and co-directed by Peterson and Monsters, Inc. director Peter Docter. Carl Fredricksen is a 78-year-old balloon salesman. His entire life, Carl has longed to wander the wilds of South America.

Later, as the house touches down on the world's second largest continent, Carl and his unlikely traveling companion step outside to discover that not only is their new front lawn considerably larger, but that the predators therein are much more ferocious than anything they ever faced back home.







Vincere

Con Filippo Timi, Giovanna Mezzogiorno, Fausto Russo Alesi, Michela Cescon, Pier Giorgio Bellocchio.
Siamo agli inizi del secolo e un giovane socialista rivoluzionario incontra casualmente una donna passionale come lui, Ida Dalser. Quel giovane si chiama Benito Mussolini. Lei lo seguirà nella sua azione politica, assecondandone i cambiamenti di rotta e giungendo fino a spogliarsi di tutto per consentirgli di fondare il proprio giornale, «Il Popolo d'Italia». Gli darà anche un figlio che verrà chiamato Benito Albino e sarà riconosciuto dal padre. Ida però dovrà scoprire che il suo matrimonio, avvenuto in chiesa, ha molto meno valore di quello che Mussolini ha contratto civilmente con Rachele Guidi da cui ha avuto la figlia Edda. L'ascesa dell'uomo politico è inarrestabile così come la sua decisione di escludere dalla propria vita sia Ida che il bambino. La donna cercherà di autoconvincersi che si tratti solo di una messa alla prova che non potrà che risolversi in senso positivo. Invece significherà per lei e suo figlio la morte in ospedale psichiatrico circondati da una cortina di oblio. Marco Bellocchio affronta una pagina di storia italiana misconosciuta. La notizia era apparsa negli anni Cinquanta su «La Settimana INCOM Illustrata» ma pochi vi avevano prestato credito perchè in quell'epoca i falsi memoriali su malefatte degli esponenti del fascismo inondavano le redazioni. Due giornalisti Rai, Novelli e Laurenti, riprendono di recente le ricerche e realizzano un documentario che va in onda su RaiTre nel gennaio 2005. Da esso emerge una fitta serie di testimonianze sulla veridicità di quanto all'epoca denunciato. Si può affermare che Bellocchio non poteva non essere attratto da una vicenda che coniugava il tema del potere con le dinamiche della psiche. Ne emerge un film come al solito molto personale che denuncia però una costrizione in cui il regista non si trova a suo agio. La camicia di forza della Storia, con le sue date e i suoi avvenimenti, vincola la narrazione che tenta di liberarsene non riuscendovi sempre. Certo Bellocchio aveva già affrontato di recente la Storia con Buongiorno, notte ma lì aveva potuto lavorare da Maestro ri-costruendo. Qui non può farlo liberamente e se ne avverte la consapevolezza nella scelta stilistica di ricorrere a una modalità narrativa che gli sta particolarmente a cuore: l'opera lirica. L'intero film è costruito come un melodramma sia sul piano musicale che su quello della struttura, con la passione dominante all'inizio a cui seguono la disillusione e la morte. Su tutto questo prevale però una lettura decisamente interessante e che mette in gioco la psichiatria e, ancor più, la psicoanalisi che studia il rapporto tra il potere e le masse. Mentre la follia diviene sempre più collettiva e partecipata nel Paese, ci suggerisce Bellocchio, diviene quasi indispensabile che la normalità (Ida) venga trattata come devianza. Mentre l'Italia corre verso il baratro della Seconda Guerra Mondiale la Dalser e suo figlio vengono fatti precipitare nella clausura degli Istituti. Dove non basterà l'ammonimento dello psichiatra: Questo non è il tempo di gridare la verità. È il tempo di tacere, di recitare una parte. Chi non è disposto a piegarsi non può che essere stroncato oppure, come accade nell'immagine più intensa del film, non può che arrampicarsi su sbarre senza via d'uscita per gettare nella neve lettere che mai nessuno leggerà.

S. Darko

Starring Justin Chatwin, Ed Westwick, Briana Evigan, Daveigh Chase and Elizabeth Berkley.
Daveigh Chase reprises her role as Samantha Darko in this sequel set seven years after the events of director Richard Kelly's acclaimed cult hit. The day Donnie Darko died, his family died too. Almost a decade later, eighteen year old Sam still feels the loss every day. She longs to become a professional dancer, and decides to take a road trip to California with her best friend Corey (Briana Evigan). When their car breaks down just outside the dusty small town of Conejo Springs, carefree Corey bides her time waiting for a new water pump to arrive by striking up a friendship with local bad boy Randy Holt (Ed Westwick). The following morning, a meteor crashes to the ground nearby, destroying a local farmer's windmill and leaving a gaping crater in the ground. In the aftermath of that unsettling incident, Sam's disturbing prophetic dreams seem to start spilling over into the real world. Could the people around her prove the key to unlocking this unearthly mystery? Unfortunately for Sam, religious fanatics Trudy Potter (Elizabeth Berkley) and Pastor John Mellit (Matthew Davis) seem more interested in spouting religious clichés that pondering the end of the world, and Randy and the locals are too busy partying to notice that events are coming to a head. When the locals begin to gossip, Sam and Corey's friendship starts to suffer, and the pair have a bitter falling out. Unaware of the fact that they have become inexorably bound by fate to a missing child, an unstable Gulf War veteran, and a mysterious rift in the time-space continuum, the former friends discover that the world will soon perish unless a substantial sacrifice is made.

Ida però dovrà scoprire che il suo matrimonio, avvenuto in chiesa, ha molto meno valore di quello che Mussolini ha contratto civilmente con Rachele Guidi da cui ha avuto la figlia Edda. L'ascesa dell'uomo politico è inarrestabile così come la sua decisione di escludere dalla propria vita sia Ida che il bambino. La donna cercherà di autoconvincersi che si tratti solo di una messa alla prova che non potrà che risolversi in senso positivo. Invece significherà per lei e suo figlio la morte in ospedale psichiatrico circondati da una cortina di oblio. Marco Bellocchio affronta una pagina di storia italiana misconosciuta. La notizia era apparsa negli anni Cinquanta su «La Settimana INCOM Illustrata» ma pochi vi avevano prestato credito perchè in quell'epoca i falsi memoriali su malefatte degli esponenti del fascismo inondavano le redazioni. Due giornalisti Rai, Novelli e Laurenti, riprendono di recente le ricerche e realizzano un documentario che va in onda su RaiTre nel gennaio 2005. Da esso emerge una fitta serie di testimonianze sulla veridicità di quanto all'epoca denunciato. Si può affermare che Bellocchio non poteva non essere attratto da una vicenda che coniugava il tema del potere con le dinamiche della psiche. Ne emerge un film come al solito molto personale che denuncia però una costrizione in cui il regista non si trova a suo agio. La camicia di forza della Storia, con le sue date e i suoi avvenimenti, vincola la narrazione che tenta di liberarsene non riuscendovi sempre. Certo Bellocchio aveva già affrontato di recente la Storia con Buongiorno, notte ma lì aveva potuto lavorare da Maestro ri-costruendo. Qui non può farlo liberamente e se ne avverte la consapevolezza nella scelta stilistica di ricorrere a una modalità narrativa che gli sta particolarmente a cuore: l'opera lirica. L'intero film è costruito come un melodramma sia sul piano musicale che su quello della struttura, con la passione dominante all'inizio a cui seguono la disillusione e la morte. Su tutto questo prevale però una lettura decisamente interessante e che mette in gioco la psichiatria e, ancor più, la psicoanalisi che studia il rapporto tra il potere e le masse. Mentre la follia diviene sempre più collettiva e partecipata nel Paese, ci suggerisce Bellocchio, diviene quasi indispensabile che la normalità (Ida) venga trattata come devianza. Mentre l'Italia corre verso il baratro della Seconda Guerra Mondiale la Dalser e suo figlio vengono fatti precipitare nella clausura degli Istituti. Dove non basterà l'ammonimento dello psichiatra: Questo non è il tempo di gridare la verità. È il tempo di tacere, di recitare una parte. Chi non è disposto a piegarsi non può che essere stroncato oppure, come accade nell'immagine più intensa del film, non può che arrampicarsi su sbarre senza via d'uscita per gettare nella neve lettere che mai nessuno leggerà.

Christie's Revenge (La Vendetta di Christie)

Starring Dani Kind, Cynthia Gibb, John Wesley Shipp, Anastasia Phillips and Anne Bovaird.
A disturned nineteen year old girl sets out to take revenge on the uncle she deems responsible for her father's recent suicide in this thriller from prolific Perfect Marriage director Douglas Jackson. Christie Coleman (Dani Kind)'s father is gone, and now the directionless teen will be forced to find her own way in a cruel and uncaring world. But Christie won't have to wander aimlessly for long, because now she's crafter a plan to make her Uncle Ray pay for the transgressions that drove her dad to suicide. Innocently moving in with Ray, his wife Miranda (Cynthia Gibb), and their teenage daughter Haley, Christie gradually ingratiates herself with the family while setting into motion a diabolical plan. They say we only hurt the ones we love, and in Christie's case that sentiment couldn't ring any truer.







District 9

Starring Sharlto Copley, Jason Cope, David James, Mandla Gaduka, William Allen Young, Vanessa Haywood, Kenneth Nkosi and Devlin Brown.
Over twenty years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees from their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africa's District 9 as the world's nations argued over what to do with them. Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. Control over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi-National United (MNU), a private company uninterested in the aliens' welfare. MNU will receive tremendous profits if they can make the aliens' powerful weaponry work. So far, they have failed; activation of the weaponry requires alien DNA. The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head when MNU begins evicting the non-humans from District 9, with MNU field agents responsible for moving them to a new camp. One of the MNU field operatives, Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley), contracts an alien virus that begins changing his DNA. Wikus quickly becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the most valuable - he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology. Ostracized and friendless, there is only one place left for him to hide: District 9.

When gorgeous Consuela Castillo (Penélope Cruz) enters his classroom, however, his protective veneer dissolves. Her raven-haired beauty both captivates and unsettles him. Even if Kepesh declares her body a perfect work of art, Consuela is more than an object of desire. She has a strong sense of herself and an emotional intensity that challenges his preconceptions. Kepesh's need for Consuela becomes an obsession, but ultimately his jealous fantasies of betrayal drive her away. Shattered, Kepesh faces up to the ravages of time, immersing himself in work and confronting the loss of old friends. Then, two years later, Consuela comes back into his life - with an urgent, desperate request that will change everything.

Questione Di Cuore

Con Antonio Albanese, Kim Rossi Stuart, Micaela Ramazzotti, Francesca Inaudi, Andrea Calligari.
Angelo è un giovane carrozziere che accumula beni, Alberto uno sceneggiatore di successo che spreca parole. Colpiti al cuore da un infarto e dalla vita, vengono ricoverati nella stessa notte e nella stessa clinica. Vicini di letto e lontani di mondi, Angelo e Alberto scoprono una zona franca, dove scambiarsi emozioni, ricaricare il cuore e risollevare lo spirito. Angelo, padre di due figli e marito innamorato di Rossana, organizza il disagio seguito alla malattia, Alberto, fidanzato senza più voglie di Carla, esplora la sua infelicità e cerca parole per raccontarla. Dimessi dalla clinica, la casa di Angelo diventerà l'officina in cui mettere a punto il motore, il ricovero dove il Pigneto incontra la prima circoscrizione, il laboratorio dove lo scrittore ritrova la curiosità sincera di un'osservazione partecipe. Se Mignon è partita, Verso sera, L'albero delle pere e Lezioni di volo misuravano gli intervalli fra generazioni e le irriducibili incomprensioni fra padri/madri e figli/figlie, Questione di cuore confronta e incontra la stessa età. Da una parte il disagio agiato di uno sceneggiatore gaudente, dall'altra l'accomodante accomodare di un carrozziere familista. Francesca Archibugi, impartita la lezione a due acerbi sprovveduti che hanno rinunciato volontariamente a ogni impegno intellettuale, "rientra" dall'India nel paesaggio italiano, più peculiarmente romano e ampiamente frequentato dalla sua filmografia. Rincasa con un un'amicizia al maschile che diventa il pretesto per interrogarsi e indagare il rapporto tra realtà e scrittura. Esplorando la storia di due uomini di diversa estrazione culturale, attaccati ai reciproci pregiudizi di classe ma uniti dall'esperienza drammatica trascorsa nel reparto di terapia intensiva di un ospedale romano, la regista affronta le sue personali inquietudini riguardo alla crisi sociale e culturale del nostro paese. Storia e cronaca non entrano nel film se non attraverso "finestre aperte" sulla borgata e finiscono per riflettersi in maniera decisiva sulle esistenze e sui vincoli affettivi (e di classe) dei protagonisti. La vita colpita al cuore abbatte il rapporto di asimmetria sociale, determina un cambio o una liberazione nel modo in cui i "soggetti a rischio" si relazionano col mondo: l'aria da divo di Alberto, che consuma nel suo grande appartamento gli ultimi scampoli di un'ormai tramontata agiatezza, e il proletario senso pratico di Angelo, che ha cresciuto due figli e farà amorevolmente fronte all'inettitudine dell'amico. Nonostante la società abbia costruito fra di loro una barriera invalicabile, la necrosi del cuore li ha uniti, allentando i ruoli, aprendo la possibilità di guardarsi in modo diverso e progredendo verso una reciproca comprensione. Se l'Archibugi è indubbiamente abile a descrivere le sfumature del comportamento dei suoi personaggi, la raffinatezza di Questione di cuore si deve in grande misura all'interpretazione di Antonio Albanese e di Kim Rossi Stuart. Il primo mostrando la vulnerabilità che si cela sotto la superficie caustica, il secondo mantenendo una presenza più discreta e distaccata, ma non meno capace di suscitare venature di intenso sentimento. La storia di Alberto e Angelo invita lo spettatore a contemplare, nel contesto di due vite (stra)ordinarie, i paradossi dell'amicizia, il vincolo di necessità e di affetto sincero che la patologia cardiovascolare e la malattia esistenziale hanno stabilito.







School For Scoundrels (Scuola Per Canaglie)

Starring Jon Heder, Billy Bob Thornton, Jacinda Barrett, Michael Clarke Duncan, Dan Fogler, Luis Guzman, Horatio Sanz and Jessica Stroup.

Aided by his assistant, Lesher (Michael Clarke Duncan), Dr. P uses unorthodox, often dangerous methods, but he guarantees results: Employ his techniques and you will unleash your inner lion. Surrounded by a band of misfit classmates, Roger's confidence grows and he makes his way to the head of the class, even finding the courage to ask our his longtime crush, Amanda (Jacinda Barrett). But Roger quickly discovers that star students have a way of catapulting Dr. P's competitive side into high gear. Soon enough, the teacher sets out to infiltrate and destroy Roger's personal and professional life. Nothing is off limits for Dr. P, not even the object of Roger's affection.

When their car breaks down just outside the dusty small town of Conejo Springs, carefree Corey bides her time waiting for a new water pump to arrive by striking up a friendship with local bad boy Randy Holt (Ed Westwick). The following morning, a meteor crashes to the ground nearby, destroying a local farmer's windmill and leaving a gaping crater in the ground.

Could the people around her prove the key to unlocking this unearthly mystery?

Daveigh Chase reprises her role as Samantha Darko in this sequel set seven years after the events of director Richard Kelly's acclaimed cult hit. The day Donnie Darko died, his family died too. Almost a decade later, eighteen year old Sam still feels the loss every day. She longs to become a professional dancer, and decides to take a road trip to California with her best friend Corey (Briana Evigan). When their car breaks down just outside the dusty small town of Conejo Springs, carefree Corey bides her time waiting for a new water pump to arrive by striking up a friendship with local bad boy Randy Holt (Ed Westwick). The following morning, a meteor crashes to the ground nearby, destroying a local farmer's windmill and leaving a gaping crater in the ground. In the aftermath of that unsettling incident, Sam's disturbing prophetic dreams seem to start spilling over into the real world. Could the people around her prove the key to unlocking this unearthly mystery? Unfortunately for Sam, religious fanatics Trudy Potter (Elizabeth Berkley) and Pastor John Mellit (Matthew Davis) seem more interested in spouting religious clichés that pondering the end of the world, and Randy and the locals are too busy partying to notice that events are coming to a head. When the locals begin to gossip, Sam and Corey's friendship starts to suffer, and the pair have a bitter falling out. Unaware of the fact that they have become inexorably bound by fate to a missing child, an unstable Gulf War veteran, and a mysterious rift in the time-space continuum, the former friends discover that the world will soon perish unless a substantial sacrifice is made.

Later, as the house touches down on the world's second largest continent, Carl and his unlikely traveling companion step outside to discover that not only is their new front lawn considerably larger, but that the predators therein are much more ferocious than anything they ever faced back home.

Starring John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt, Thandie Newton, Danny Glover and Woody Harrelson.
Centuries ago, the Mayans left us their calendar, with a clear end date and all that it implies. Since then, astrologists have discovered it, numerologists have found patterns that predict it, geologists say the earth is overdue for it, and even government scientists cannot deny the cataclysm of epic proportions that awaits the earth in 2012. A prophecy that began with the Mayans has now been well-chronicled, discussed, taken apart and examined. By 2012, we'll know we were warned...

Then, two years later, Consuela comes back into his life - with an urgent, desperate request that will change everything.

District 9

Starring Sharlto Copley, Jason Cope, David James, Mandla Gaduka, William Allen Young, Vanessa Haywood, Kenneth Nkosi and Devlin Brown.
Over twenty years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees from their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africa's District 9 as the world's nations argued over what to do with them. Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. Control over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi-National United (MNU), a private company uninterested in the aliens' welfare. MNU will receive tremendous profits if they can make the aliens' powerful weaponry work. So far, they have failed; activation of the weaponry requires alien DNA. The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head when MNU begins evicting the non-humans from District 9, with MNU field agents responsible for moving them to a new camp. One of the MNU field operatives, Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley), contracts an alien virus that begins changing his DNA. Wikus quickly becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the most valuable - he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology. Ostracized and friendless, there is only one place left for him to hide: District 9.

Knowing (Segnali Dal Futuro)

A time capsule containing a cryptic message about the coming apocalypse sends a concerned father on a race to prevent the horrific events from unfolding as predicted in this sci-fi thriller directed by Alex Proyas (Dark City) and starring Nicolas Cage. 1958: As the dedication ceremony for a newly constructed elementary school gets under way, a time capsule containing student drawings of the future is buried on the grounds and scheduled to be unearthed on the school's 50th anniversary. Instead of submitting a drawing, however, one little girl scribbles a series of seemingly random numbers on her paper before it is buried. Fifty years later, the time capsule is unearthed for a new generation of students to examine. Young Caleb Koestler (Chandler Canterbury) is one of those students. The mysterious sequence of numbers falling into his possession, Caleb takes the paper to his father, Professor John Koestler (Cage), for examination. Studying the numbers, Professor Koestler soon discovers that they aren't random at all, but an encoded message containing the precise dates, death tolls, and coordinates of every major disaster since the time capsule was buried. Not only that, but the document also indicates that there will be three more such events, the last of which indicates a doomsday scenario that appears directly tied to Professor Koestler and Caleb. His desperate plea to authorities falling on deaf ears, Professor Koestler realizes that his only hope for preventing more lives from being lost is to take personal action. Though the author of the prophecies is no longer living, Professor Koestler is eventually able to track down her daughter Diana Wayland (Rose Byrne), and granddaughter Abby, who reluctantly agree to aid in the investigation. As the final date on the list draws near, Professor Koestler enters into a frantic race against time to prevent destruction on a global scale, in the process realizing that in order to save millions of lives, he may have to make the ultimate sacrifice.







L'ultimo Ultras

Con Stefano Calvagna, Francesca Antonelli, Mauro Meconi, Rossella Infanti, Giancarlo Lombardi.
Il gioco del calcio: ultima vera epopea epica contemporanea, oppio del popolo e riscatto degli umili, spettacolo, teatro, sogno di soldi ed evasione. Negli ultimi anni il gioco del pallone ha perso quella patina poetica ed eroica che aveva nell'Italia della ricostruzione e del boom. Ricorda Alessandro Baricco le partite sognate alla radio e le immagini in bianco e nero trasmesse dalla rai a domenica già finita: emozioni sfasate, sfuocate, vissute fuori sincro. Il calcio come luogo dell’immaginario in cui elevare al rango di avventura nazionale le partitelle nei campi di terra, le ginocchia sbucciate, gli amici che vanno e quelli che restano. Canta Francesco De Gregori l'ansia di crescere di un ragazzino dalle spalle strette, le sconfitte e i successi di tante vite comuni che appendono, o non si arrendono ad appendere, le scarpette a "qualche tipo di muro". Disegna il fumettista italiano Davide Previati la concitazione di un gruppo di figli di operai del petrolchimico Anic di Ravenna: le fabbriche incombenti sullo sfondo, il cuore a sussultare per un tiro sbagliato, una parata impossibile e le narici che inalano sudore e malinconia presto sovrastati dal sapore dei prodotti della raffinazione. Il calcio in Italia è stato quello che prima fu il ciclismo, retorica popolare, pulita, sana, palcoscenico privilegiato per la messa in scena dei nostri sogni. Il gioco del pallone oggi non è più lo schermo da proiezione su cui animare aspirazioni e metafore di un paese in subbuglio. Il calcio oggi è intrattenimento fine a se stesso, discussione sterile, pretesto per facinorosi, distrazione pericolosa dai pericoli di un paese che vacilla. Nella tifoseria organizzata si può leggere ancora l'ansia di riscoprire un senso di appartenenza ormai perduto, l'espressione di un disagio che non riesce a placarsi nell'assoluta mancanza di punti di riferimento o nella preponderante presenza di punti di riferimento sbagliati: ecco quindi la violenza, la strumentalizzazione politica, la volgarità e, inaccettabile, l'omicidio.

Almost a decade later, eighteen year old Sam still feels the loss every day. She longs to become a professional dancer, and decides to take a road trip to California with her best friend Corey (Briana Evigan). When their car breaks down just outside the dusty small town of Conejo Springs, carefree Corey bides her time waiting for a new water pump to arrive by striking up a friendship with local bad boy Randy Holt (Ed Westwick). The following morning, a meteor crashes to the ground nearby, destroying a local farmer's windmill and leaving a gaping crater in the ground. In the aftermath of that unsettling incident, Sam's disturbing prophetic dreams seem to start spilling over into the real world. Could the people around her prove the key to unlocking this unearthly mystery? Unfortunately for Sam, religious fanatics Trudy Potter (Elizabeth Berkley) and Pastor John Mellit (Matthew Davis) seem more interested in spouting religious clichés that pondering the end of the world, and Randy and the locals are too busy partying to notice that events are coming to a head. When the locals begin to gossip, Sam and Corey's friendship starts to suffer, and the pair have a bitter falling out. Unaware of the fact that they have become inexorably bound by fate to a missing child, an unstable Gulf War veteran, and a mysterious rift in the time-space continuum, the former friends discover that the world will soon perish unless a substantial sacrifice is made.

2012

Starring John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt, Thandie Newton, Danny Glover and Woody Harrelson.
Centuries ago, the Mayans left us their calendar, with a clear end date and all that it implies. Since then, astrologists have discovered it, numerologists have found patterns that predict it, geologists say the earth is overdue for it, and even government scientists cannot deny the cataclysm of epic proportions that awaits the earth in 2012. A prophecy that began with the Mayans has now been well-chronicled, discussed, taken apart and examined. By 2012, we'll know we were warned...

Just as she starts wondering what her future holds, along comes her archrival Charlotte Peloux (Kathy Bates), a notoriously manipulative gossip, with an unusual proposition. It seems that Charlotte's 19-year-old son - a bon vivant nicknamed Chéri (Rupert Friend) - is gorgeous, charming and a complete disappointment to her. Fed up with his petulance, Charlotte slyly suspects Léa can knock some sense into the boy with her worldly ways. But Léa does far more than that and six years later, she and Chéri are still living together in a most outrageous fashion. Naturally, they know this state of affairs can't go on forever. But when Charlotte Peloux returns to match Chéri to a girl his own age for marriage and break up their adventuresome tryst, no one is prepared for what truly lies beneath their frivolous affair.

District 9

Starring Sharlto Copley, Jason Cope, David James, Mandla Gaduka, William Allen Young, Vanessa Haywood, Kenneth Nkosi and Devlin Brown.
Over twenty years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees from their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africa's District 9 as the world's nations argued over what to do with them. Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. Control over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi-National United (MNU), a private company uninterested in the aliens' welfare. MNU will receive tremendous profits if they can make the aliens' powerful weaponry work. So far, they have failed; activation of the weaponry requires alien DNA. The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head when MNU begins evicting the non-humans from District 9, with MNU field agents responsible for moving them to a new camp. One of the MNU field operatives, Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley), contracts an alien virus that begins changing his DNA. Wikus quickly becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the most valuable - he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology.

Knowing (Segnali Dal Futuro)

A time capsule containing a cryptic message about the coming apocalypse sends a concerned father on a race to prevent the horrific events from unfolding as predicted in this sci-fi thriller directed by Alex Proyas (Dark City) and starring Nicolas Cage. 1958: As the dedication ceremony for a newly constructed elementary school gets under way, a time capsule containing student drawings of the future is buried on the grounds and scheduled to be unearthed on the school's 50th anniversary. Instead of submitting a drawing, however, one little girl scribbles a series of seemingly random numbers on her paper before it is buried. Fifty years later, the time capsule is unearthed for a new generation of students to examine. Young Caleb Koestler (Chandler Canterbury) is one of those students. The mysterious sequence of numbers falling into his possession, Caleb takes the paper to his father, Professor John Koestler (Cage), for examination. Studying the numbers, Professor Koestler soon discovers that they aren't random at all, but an encoded message containing the precise dates, death tolls, and coordinates of every major disaster since the time capsule was buried. Not only that, but the document also indicates that there will be three more such events, the last of which indicates a doomsday scenario that appears directly tied to Professor Koestler and Caleb. His desperate plea to authorities falling on deaf ears, Professor Koestler realizes that his only hope for preventing more lives from being lost is to take personal action. Though the author of the prophecies is no longer living, Professor Koestler is eventually able to track down her daughter Diana Wayland (Rose Byrne), and granddaughter Abby, who reluctantly agree to aid in the investigation. As the final date on the list draws near, Professor Koestler enters into a frantic race against time to prevent destruction on a global scale, in the process realizing that in order to save millions of lives, he may have to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Questione Di Punti Di Vista

Con Jane Birkin, Sergio Castellitto, André Marcon, Jacques Bonnaffé, Julie-Marie Parmentier.
Dopo quindici anni di assenza, Kate ritorna al mondo circense, abbandonato da giovane dopo la tragedia di un grave incidente. Il padre, direttore del piccolo circo in tournée, è morto da poco tempo e gli acrobati rimasti, scioccati dalla perdita, devono fare i conti con l’insuccesso del loro spettacolo itinerante. Bloccati in un piccolo paesino alle porte di Parigi, cercano di riavvicinarsi lentamente a Kate. Durante la preparazione dei nuovi sketch, arriva Vittorio, misterioso viaggiatore italiano, che, affascinato dall’eccentricità del gruppo e dall’animo tormentato di Kate, decide di fermarsi per qualche tempo. L’incontro tra le due anime solitarie costringerà tutti a fermarsi e riflettere sui traumi del passato. Rivette è ossessionato dal legame tra arte e vita. Dopo aver sviscerato il topos ne La bella scontrosa, enigmatica riflessione sulla pittura come sintesi intellettuale di creazione artistica e ricerca esistenziale, ora continua a srotolare quel filo, ambientando una nuova storia d’amore nel mondo del circo. Sceglie un piccolo tendone rudimentale, lo arricchisce di luci e colori e lo sveste del carattere esagerato da baraccone ambulante. Il non-luogo sospeso del circo viene così rappresentato nella sua essenzialità: non ci sono elefanti addestrati né tigri o cavalli ma solo un gruppetto di clown e qualche acrobata. L’assenza totale di musica e la presenza algida e apatica dell’esiguo pubblico pagante, ammanta la costruzione silenziosa dei sentimenti di un’aria triste e desolante. Se i drammi del cuore affrontano con gravità la ricerca di un senso compiuto, le scenette teatrali dei clown e l’estrosità di Vittorio (che ride quando gli altri non lo fanno e si intromette negli affari degli sconosciuti con picchi buffi di petulanza), temperano i tormenti interiori. Vittorio è impacciato e ‘fuori tempo’ nell’avvicinamento a Kate; tra i due nasce però una strana complicità che li unisce e separa continuamente, in un ballo di emozioni sussurrate e mai vissute carnalmente. Lei è bloccata dai ricordi e vive imponendosi la sofferenza della rimozione di una parte di se stessa, quella legata al mondo del circo dov’è cresciuta.. Accetta le incombenze quotidiane del presente, pensa al futuro ma non vuole fermarsi a guardare indietro. Il ritorno al circo ‘ambulante’ la blocca in un luogo magico, dove la commistione tra creatività e gioia di vivere creano il posto ideale per pensare. Lo stesso accade a Vittorio, nomade anomalo che vede, prima nello spettacolo circense, poi in Kate, l’occasione di aggrapparsi alla vita.

Tris Di Donne E Abiti Nuziali

Con Sergio Castellitto, Martina Gedeck, Paolo Briguglia, Raffaella Rea, Salvatore Cantalupo.
Franco Campanella è un ex impiegato delle poste che non arriva ai mille euro al mese di pensione, devoto alla propria famiglia e dedito al vizio del gioco. Alla vigilia delle nozze della figlia maggiore Luisa, giovane insegnante appassionata di poesia, Franco promette alla moglie Josephine di impegnarsi a fare economia per sostenere personalmente le spese del matrimonio. Ma dopo che gli viene rifiutato un fido bancario, Franco ricomincia a scommettere e a frequentare ogni bisca del napoletano, perdendo fino a indebitarsi con strozzini e camorristi per una cifra da decine di migliaia di euro. Dietro ad un titolo da commedia dei "telefoni bianchi" si cela un tentativo di recupero di quelle agrodolci modalità di raccontare una parte anonima e sotterranea della società che hanno fatto grande il passato della commedia italiana. Un recupero che sa quasi di una riflessione sul genere, prendendo avvio da tre elementi ricorrenti nella commedia del dopoguerra: povertà, matrimonio e carte da gioco, raccontati attraverso la storia di un personaggio tipicamente zavattiniano: Franco Campanella. Alcuni momenti del film parrebbero innalzare questo pensionato ingenuo e sciagurato, schiavo dell'affetto della famiglia e dei suoi stessi vizi, nella tradizione romantica e solitaria del viandante di Friederich o nel crepuscolarismo di Camillo Sbarbaro. Grazie invece a Castellitto, Franco resta un mediocre, un personaggio troppo piccolo e meschino per poter aspirare ad un'aura di tragicità. Un contrasto fra grandezza e grettezza che scorre fra i saliscendi del Vomero napoletano e gli arpeggi musicali di Nicola Piovani, vagabondando incerto come il suo protagonista fra il semplice ritratto neorealista, il tentativo di descrizione di una realtà sotterranea come quella dei giocatori compulsivi e i toni della commedia edificante. Se Terracciano incappa in un problema che non apparteneva alla commedia all'italiana, è perché rispetto a questa grande tradizione, dimentica di costruire un ambiente complesso e sfaccettato. Il reale si costruisce a partire dall'intorno, da un microuniverso di personaggi che contribuiscono a dare spessore e credibilità alla quotidianità del protagonista. Il regista napoletano sembra invece concentrarsi solo sulla performance del suo eroe mediocre, così che gli altri personaggi non hanno spazio o forza necessaria a caricare di attese o di pathos la caduta verso il basso di Franco.







Year One (Anno Uno)

Lo Spazio Bianco

Con Margherita Buy, Salvatore Cantalupo, Guido Caprino, Maria Paiato, Gaetano Bruno, Antonia Truppo, Giovanni Ludeno.
Maria aspetta una bambina, non è incinta più ma aspetta lo stesso. Aspetta che sua figlia nasca, o muoia. E se c'è una cosa che Maria non sa fare è aspettare. E' per questo che i tre mesi che deve affrontare, sola, nell'attesa che sua figlia Irene esca dall'incubatrice, la colgono impreparata. Abituata a fare affidamento esclusivamente sulle proprie forze e a decidere con piena autonomia della propria vita, Maria si costringe ad un'apnea passiva che esclude il mondo intero, si imprigiona nello spazio bianco dell'attesa. Ma questo sforzo di isolamento doloroso consuma anche l'ultimo filo di energia a disposizione: la bolla di solitudine in cui Maria si è rinchiusa è messa a dura prova e alla fine esplode. E' necessario che Maria salvi se stessa per riuscire a salvare la bambina. Non c'è che una soluzione: consentire al mondo di irrompere nella propria esistenza e concedersi il privilegio di ritornare a vivere. E così inventarsi la forza per accompagnare Irene alla nascita.

Questione Di Punti Di Vista

Con Jane Birkin, Sergio Castellitto, André Marcon, Jacques Bonnaffé, Julie-Marie Parmentier.
Dopo quindici anni di assenza, Kate ritorna al mondo circense, abbandonato da giovane dopo la tragedia di un grave incidente. Il padre, direttore del piccolo circo in tournée, è morto da poco tempo e gli acrobati rimasti, scioccati dalla perdita, devono fare i conti con l¢insuccesso del loro spettacolo itinerante. Bloccati in un piccolo paesino alle porte di Parigi, cercano di riavvicinarsi lentamente a Kate. Durante la preparazione dei nuovi sketch, arriva Vittorio, misterioso viaggiatore italiano, che, affascinato dall¢eccentricità del gruppo e dall¢animo tormentato di Kate, decide di fermarsi per qualche tempo. L¢incontro tra le due anime solitarie costringerà tutti a fermarsi e riflettere sui traumi del passato. Rivette è ossessionato dal legame tra arte e vita. Dopo aver sviscerato il topos ne La bella scontrosa, enigmatica riflessione sulla pittura come sintesi intellettuale di creazione artistica e ricerca esistenziale, ora continua a srotolare quel filo, ambientando una nuova storia d¢amore nel mondo del circo. Sceglie un piccolo tendone rudimentale, lo arricchisce di luci e colori e lo sveste del carattere esagerato da baraccone ambulante. Il non-luogo sospeso del circo viene così rappresentato nella sua essenzialità: non ci sono elefanti addestrati né tigri o cavalli ma solo un gruppetto di clown e qualche acrobata. L¢assenza totale di musica e la presenza algida e apatica dell¢esiguo pubblico pagante, ammanta la costruzione silenziosa dei sentimenti di un¢aria triste e desolante. Se i drammi del cuore affrontano con gravità la ricerca di un senso compiuto, le scenette teatrali dei clown e l¢estrosità di Vittorio (che ride quando gli altri non lo fanno e si intromette negli affari degli sconosciuti con picchi buffi di petulanza), temperano i tormenti interiori. Vittorio è impacciato e ¡fuori tempo¢ nell¢avvicinamento a Kate; tra i due nasce però una strana complicità che li unisce e separa continuamente, in un ballo di emozioni sussurrate e mai vissute carnalmente. Lei è bloccata dai ricordi e vive imponendosi la sofferenza della rimozione di una parte di se stessa, quella legata al mondo del circo dov¢è cresciuta.. Accetta le incombenze quotidiane del presente, pensa al futuro ma non vuole fermarsi a guardare indietro. Il ritorno al circo ¡ambulante¢ la blocca in un luogo magico, dove la commistione tra creatività e gioia di vivere creano il posto ideale per pensare. Lo stesso accade a Vittorio, nomade anomalo che vede, prima nello spettacolo circense, poi in Kate, l¢occasione di aggrapparsi alla vita.







Surrogates (Il Mondo Dei Replicanti)

Starring Bruce Willis, Radha Mitchell, Rosamund Pike, James Francis Ginty, Boris Kodjoe and Ving Rhames.
FBI agents (Bruce Willis, Radha Mitchell) investigate the mysterious murder of a college student linked to the man who helped create a high-tech surrogate phenomenon that allows people to purchase unflawed robotic versions of themselves - fit, good looking remotely controlled machines that ultimately assume their life roles - enabling people to experience life vicariously from the comfort and safety of their own homes. The murder spawns a quest for answers: in a world of masks, who's real and who can you trust?







The Time Traveler's Wife (Un¢Amore All¢Improvviso)

Starring Rachel McAdams, Eric Bana, Arliss Howard, Ron Livingston, Stephen Tobolowsky and Jane McLean.
Clare (Rachel McAdams) has been in love with Henry (Eric Bana) her entire life.

Despite the fact that Henry's travels force them apart with no warning, Clare desperately tries to build a life with her one true love.







Tris Di Donne E Abiti Nuziali

Con Sergio Castellitto, Martina Gedeck, Paolo Briguglia, Raffaella Rea, Salvatore Cantalupo.
Franco Campanella è un ex impiegato delle poste che non arriva ai mille euro al mese di pensione, devoto alla propria famiglia e dedito al vizio del gioco. Alla vigilia delle nozze della figlia maggiore Luisa, giovane insegnante appassionata di poesia, Franco promette alla moglie Josephine di impegnarsi a fare economia per sostenere personalmente le spese del matrimonio. Ma dopo che gli viene rifiutato un fido bancario, Franco ricomincia a scommettere e a frequentare ogni bisca del napoletano, perdendo fino a indebitarsi con strozzini e camorristi per una cifra da decine di migliaia di euro. Dietro ad un titolo da commedia dei "telefoni bianchi" si cela un tentativo di recupero di quelle agrodolci modalità di raccontare una parte anonima e sotterranea della società che hanno fatto grande il passato della commedia italiana. Un recupero che sa quasi di una riflessione sul genere, prendendo avvio da tre elementi ricorrenti nella commedia del dopoguerra: povertà, matrimonio e carte da gioco, raccontati attraverso la storia di un personaggio tipicamente zavattiniano: Franco Campanella. Alcuni momenti del film parrebbero innalzare questo pensionato ingenuo e sciagurato, schiavo dell'affetto della famiglia e dei suoi stessi vizi, nella tradizione romantica e solitaria del viandante di Friederich o nel crepuscolarismo di Camillo Sbarbaro. Grazie invece a Castellitto, Franco resta un mediocre, un personaggio troppo piccolo e meschino per poter aspirare ad un'aura di tragicità. Un contrasto fra grandezza e grettezza che scorre fra i saliscendi del Vomero napoletano e gli arpeggi musicali di Nicola Piovani, vagabondando incerto come il suo protagonista fra il semplice ritratto neorealista, il tentativo di descrizione di una realtà sotterranea come quella dei giocatori compulsivi e i toni della commedia edificante. Se Terracciano incappa in un problema che non apparteneva alla commedia all'italiana, è perché rispetto a questa grande tradizione, dimentica di costruire un ambiente complesso e sfaccettato. Il reale si costruisce a partire dall'intorno, da un microuniverso di personaggi che contribuiscono a dare spessore e credibilità alla quotidianità del protagonista. Il regista napoletano sembra invece concentrarsi solo sulla performance del suo eroe mediocre, così che gli altri personaggi non hanno spazio o forza necessaria a caricare di attese o di pathos la caduta verso il basso di Franco.







The Ugly Truth (La Dura Verità)

Starring Katherine Heigl, Gerard Butler, Eric Winter, John Michael Higgins, Nick Searcy, Kevin Connolly and Cheryl Hines.
Abby Richter (Katherine Heigl) is an ambitious morning talk show producer on "A.M. Sacramento" who prides herself on being able to find an instant solution to any problem - any problem that is except her own unhappily single status. When it comes to ******, the always-in-control Abby has a flawless track record of failure. When her show suffers a ratings slump, Abby is forced to team with the newly recruited special correspondent Mike Chadway (Gerard Butler), a man who couldn't push more of her buttons. His "The Ugly Truth" segment promises to spill the beans on what makes men really tick. But his outrageously racy, gleefully chauvinistic, "shock jock" style rubs Abby in all the wrong ways and to make matters worse, becomes an instant ratings bonanza, sealing his network status. Then Abby meets Colin, her neighbor, and he's a single doctor! He's everything Mike Chadway isn't - suave, polite, not remotely into jello wrestling - and this time, Abby doesn't want to blow it. She hates to admit it, but she needs Mike's insight into the male mind to make the right moves. Now, as Mike coaches Abby and Abby puts Mike's provocative seduction theories to the test, they are both about to discover an ironic truth: as different as we might be, men and women share some of our most secret feelings in common.

Knowing (Segnali Dal Futuro)

A time capsule containing a cryptic message about the coming apocalypse sends a concerned father on a race to prevent the horrific events from unfolding as predicted in this sci-fi thriller directed by Alex Proyas (Dark City) and starring Nicolas Cage. 1958: As the dedication ceremony for a newly constructed elementary school gets under way, a time capsule containing student drawings of the future is buried on the grounds and scheduled to be unearthed on the school's 50th anniversary. Instead of submitting a drawing, however, one little girl scribbles a series of seemingly random numbers on her paper before it is buried. Fifty years later, the time capsule is unearthed for a new generation of students to examine. Young Caleb Koestler (Chandler Canterbury) is one of those students. The mysterious sequence of numbers falling into his possession, Caleb takes the paper to his father, Professor John Koestler (Cage), for examination. Studying the numbers, Professor Koestler soon discovers that they aren't random at all, but an encoded message containing the precise dates, death tolls, and coordinates of every major disaster since the time capsule was buried. Not only that, but the document also indicates that there will be three more such events, the last of which indicates a doomsday scenario that appears directly tied to Professor Koestler and Caleb. His desperate plea to authorities falling on deaf ears, Professor Koestler realizes that his only hope for preventing more lives from being lost is to take personal action. Though the author of the prophecies is no longer living, Professor Koestler is eventually able to track down her daughter Diana Wayland (Rose Byrne), and granddaughter Abby, who reluctantly agree to aid in the investigation. As the final date on the list draws near, Professor Koestler enters into a frantic race against time to prevent destruction on a global scale, in the process realizing that in order to save millions of lives, he may have to make the ultimate sacrifice.







Lo Spazio Bianco

Con Margherita Buy, Salvatore Cantalupo, Guido Caprino, Maria Paiato, Gaetano Bruno, Antonia Truppo, Giovanni Ludeno.
Maria aspetta una bambina, non è incinta più ma aspetta lo stesso. Aspetta che sua figlia nasca, o muoia. E se c'è una cosa che Maria non sa fare è aspettare. E' per questo che i tre mesi che deve affrontare, sola, nell'attesa che sua figlia Irene esca dall'incubatrice, la colgono impreparata. Abituata a fare affidamento esclusivamente sulle proprie forze e a decidere con piena autonomia della propria vita, Maria si costringe ad un'apnea passiva che esclude il mondo intero, si imprigiona nello spazio bianco dell'attesa. Ma questo sforzo di isolamento doloroso consuma anche l'ultimo filo di energia a disposizione: la bolla di solitudine in cui Maria si è rinchiusa è messa a dura prova e alla fine esplode. E' necessario che Maria salvi se stessa per riuscire a salvare la bambina. Non c'è che una soluzione: consentire al mondo di irrompere nella propria esistenza e concedersi il privilegio di ritornare a vivere. E così inventarsi la forza per accompagnare Irene alla nascita.

Baarìa

Con Francesco Scianna, Margareth Madè, Nicole Grimaudo, Angela Molina, Lina Sastri.
La storia di una famiglia siciliana che prende le mosse dal ventennio fascista in cui Cicco, sin da bambino apertamente contestatore, è un pastore che ha la passione per la letteratura epica. Suo figlio Peppino, cresciuto durante la guerra, entrerà nelle file del Partito Comunista divenendone un esponente di spicco sul piano locale e riuscendo a sposare, nonostante la più assoluta opposizione della famiglia di lei, Mannina che diventerà madre dei loro numerosi figli che saranno comunque considerati da alcuni sempre e comunque ¡figli del comunista'. Tornatore riprende a narrare della terra che ama, la Sicilia, e lo fa con un affresco collettivo che abbraccia numerosi decenni della storia del secolo scorso. Lo fa con quel piglio che a tratti travalica nell'enfasi che ormai gli è proprio quando torna cinematograficamente a varcare lo Stretto di Messina (e che gli procura tante critiche) ma anche con la sincera voglia di fare cinema a tutto campo. Fare cinema si traduce per lui in un omaggio consapevole e dichiarato a quanti lo hanno preceduto (qui in modo particolare a Sergio Leone ma non solo) senza però rinunciare a un proprio stile narrativo che procede per accumulo di immagini e di situazioni. È una corsa contro il tempo quella che ci viene proposta sin dall'inizio con la figura del bambino che apre il film. Corsa contro il tempo che cancella una memoria collettiva che sembra progressivamente non esistere più e che Tornatore vuole restituirci scegliendo la via della spettacolarità rivolta al pubblico più vasto possibile. C'è una scena in cui Peppino torna a Bagheria dopo essere emigrato per lavoro a Parigi. Ha ancora in mano la valigia e un gruppo di suoi conoscenti, incontrandolo, gli chiede per dove stia partendo. Nessuno di loro si è accorto della sua assenza. Oggi ben pochi sembrano accorgersi della perdita della conoscenza di un passato recente in cui umiliazioni, lotte e parziali vittorie lasciavano segni profondi nella collettività. Segni che, come l'affresco sulla volta della chiesa, 'dovevano' essere cancellati. Ma ciò che al regista sembra premere ancor di più è il mostrare come il retaggio di un passato di tradizioni ormai incancrenite nella società non sia stato ancora superato nella realtà sociale siciliana e non solo. La sequenza dell'assessore all'urbanistica non vedente che si fa portare i piani regolatori in plastico e li apprezza solo dopo aver intascato l'ineludibile mazzetta è di quelle che si ricordano. Così come (pur nel caleidoscopio a tratti pensoso e a tratti decisamente macchiettistico della miriade di personaggi che attraversano la scena) resta presente, nello scorrere degli anni e delle vicende, la pessimistica sensazione di una sorta di atavica maledizione a causa della quale le uova rotte e i serpenti neri finiscono col far parte del passato, del presente e del futuro di una terra che ha bisogno di una frattura traumatica per poter liberare una volta per tutte una vitalità creativa che certo non le manca.







The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Starring Michael Nyqvist, Noomi Rapace, Peter Haber, Lena Endre and Marika Lagercrantz.
A discredited journalist and a mysterious computer hacker discover that even the wealthiest families have skeletons in their closets while working to solve the mystery of a 40-year-old murder. Inspired by late author Stieg Larsson's successful trilogy of books, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo gets under way as Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander are briefed in the disappearance of Harriet Vanger, whose uncle suspects she may have been killed by a member of their own family. The deeper Mikael and Lisbeth dig for the truth, however, the greater the risk of being buried alive by members of the family who will go to great lengths to keep their secrets tightly sealed.







Il Grande Sogno

Con Riccardo Scamarcio, Jasmine Trinca, Luca Argentero, Massimo Popolizio, Alessandra Acciai.
Nicola è un giovane poliziotto che ama il teatro e vorrebbe diventare attore. Laura è una studentessa universitaria di matrice cattolica pronta a lottare contro l'ingiustizia. Libero è un leader del movimento studentesco. Gli anni sono quelli che precedono, attraversano e seguono il 1968 e i suoi rivolgimenti. Nicola, infiltrato dai suoi superiori nel movimento, si innamorerà di Laura e cercherà anche di comprendere un mondo che gli è al contempo congeniale e lontano. Michele Placido decide di raccontare se stesso e la sua gioventù. Lo fa cercando di descrivere mondi differenti che si incontrano/scontrano in un periodo di fermenti sociali e culturali. L'operazione riesce a metà perché il dato personale e autobiografico al contempo frena e fagocita lo sguardo complessivo. Placido non è il primo a farsi in qualche modo condizionare dalla narrazione di se stesso. È sufficiente citare l'Almodovar de La mala educacion per ricordare come il regista spagnolo abbia costruito il suo film più algido proprio quando basava il soggetto su esperienze personali adolescenziali. Placido qui non sembra essere stato il regista di Romanzo criminale, in cui pure narrava della relativamente recente storia sociale e politica dell'Italia. La tensione che percorreva quel film, offrendoci una lucida lettura di fatti più o meno noti, finisce qua con il disperdersi. Il grande sogno si ritrova con il dire di più del complesso rapporto con la liberazione sessuale dei suoi protagonisti di estrazione sociale diversa che non del complessivo ¡grande sogno' di una generazione. Anche se i paragoni sono sempre azzardati non si può non pensare a La meglio gioventù di Marco Tullio Giordana in cui, quasi rileggendo uno degli slogan dell'epoca, il privato si faceva politico e viceversa. Qui è come se ci fossero due film in uno. L'uno narra delle vicende amorose di Nicola, Laura e Libero e l'altro delinea un ritratto di quegli anni esplorato con uno sguardo forse inconsciamente unilaterale. Uno sguardo che, e in questo Placido è scopertamente sincero, è ancora quello del poliziotto Michele che osserva, senza davvero comprenderlo fino in fondo, un tentativo di cambiare il mondo per lui tanto confuso quanto in fondo velleitario perché dai sogni ci si risveglia. In giorni poi di rinnovata polemica sul ¡cattocomunismo' il personaggio di Laura (che resta positivo nonostante le sue contraddizioni e ha una matrice cattolico progressista) finisce col far nascere quesiti sul ¡chi produce cosa' nel nostro sempre più complicato Paese.







The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

Starring Heath Ledger, Christopher Plummer, Verne Troyer, Andrew Garfield, Lily Cole, Tom Waits, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law.
Fantastical morality tale, set in the present day. It tells the story of Dr. Parnassus and his extraordinary 'Imaginarium', a travelling show where members of the audience get an irresistible opportunity to choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom. Blessed with the extraordinary gift of guiding the imaginations of others, Dr. Parnassus is cursed with a dark secret. Long ago he made a bet with the devil, Mr. Nick, in which he won immortality. Many centuries later, on meeting his one true love, Dr. Parnassus made another deal with the devil, trading his immortality for youth, on condition that when his first-born reached its 16th birthday he or she would become the property of Mr. Nick. Valentina is now rapidly approaching this 'coming of age' milestone and Dr. Parnassus is desperate to protect her from her impending fate. Mr. Nick arrives to collect but, always keen to make a bet, renegotiates the wager. Now the winner of Valentina will be determined by whoever seduces the first five souls. Enlisting a series of wild, comical and compelling characters in his journey, Dr. Parnassus promises his daughter's hand in marriage to the man that helps him win. In this captivating, explosive and wonderfully imaginative race against time, Dr. Parnassus must fight to save his daughter in a never-ending landscape of surreal obstacles - and undo the mistakes of his past once and for all.







Lo Spazio Bianco

Con Margherita Buy, Salvatore Cantalupo, Guido Caprino, Maria Paiato, Gaetano Bruno, Antonia Truppo, Giovanni Ludeno.
Maria aspetta una bambina, non è incinta più ma aspetta lo stesso. Aspetta che sua figlia nasca, o muoia. E se c'è una cosa che Maria non sa fare è aspettare. E' per questo che i tre mesi che deve affrontare, sola, nell'attesa che sua figlia Irene esca dall'incubatrice, la colgono impreparata. Abituata a fare affidamento esclusivamente sulle proprie forze e a decidere con piena autonomia della propria vita, Maria si costringe ad un'apnea passiva che esclude il mondo intero, si imprigiona nello spazio bianco dell'attesa. Ma questo sforzo di isolamento doloroso consuma anche l'ultimo filo di energia a disposizione: la bolla di solitudine in cui Maria si è rinchiusa è messa a dura prova e alla fine esplode. E' necessario che Maria salvi se stessa per riuscire a salvare la bambina. Non c'è che una soluzione: consentire al mondo di irrompere nella propria esistenza e concedersi il privilegio di ritornare a vivere. E così inventarsi la forza per accompagnare Irene alla nascita.







Oggi Sposi

Con Luca Argentero, Moran Atias, Michele Placido, Dario Bandiera, Isabella Ragonese.
Nel medesimo periodo e nella medesima città quattro coppie si devono sposare. Ci sono gli squattrinati che per non rivelare la loro indigenza ai parenti meridionali imbucheranno settantadue invitati al gigantesco e coattissimo matrimonio tra il mago della finanza (con annessi impicci mafiosi) e la giovane stellina televisiva e c'è la coppia multietnica composta dalla figlia dell'ambasciatore indiano e il pugliese di origini contadine che lavora nel commissariato in cui un PM tutto casa e lavoro si innamora della giovane promessa sposa di suo padre. Oggi sposi non va liquidato come l'ennesima commedia a sfondo matrimoniale e non va nemmeno considerato un prodotto mediocre del nostro cinema simile a tanta commedia sentimentale ma un ottimo prodotto medio di quelli che andrebbero imitati, replicati e fatti girare. Il nuovo film di Luca Lucini è infatti uno splendido esempio di quel cinema industriale che non riusciamo ad avere, un film che si appoggia a tutti gli elementi più in voga (dal sentimentalismo comico sempre buono al trend bollywoodiano fino al fenomeno Argentero) orchestrandoli in un racconto non solo estremamente divertente ma anche raccontato e soprattutto diretto con una bravura eccezionale. Oggi sposi non è per nulla cinema autoriale ma fieramente commerciale capace di offrire al grande pubblico un prodotto d'intrattenimento di vera qualità, ce ne fossero di film così! A scrivere ci sono, oltre a Fabio Bonifacci, anche Fausto Brizzi e Marco Martani (premiata ditta già responsabile di buoni exploit) mentre a recitare un cast di attori di primo piano e grandi caratteristi per i ruoli secondari. Su tutti però regna Luca Lucini, il più grande (anche perché purtroppo l'unico) mestierante del cinema italiano. L'unico che vuole lavorare con sceneggiature altrui, l'unico che non aspira ad essere autore, l'unico ad avere un'idea di cinema come arte commerciale del racconto e l'unico infine a pensare i suoi film come prodotti internazionali. A differenza di tanti registucoli che fanno commedia in Italia Lucini si occupa davvero di "mettere in scena", non punta l'obiettivo verso chi parla ma cerca di trasportare la parola scritta in immagini, suoni e musica senza timore di tradire la tradizione italiana alla ricerca di una visione personale. Usa con sapienza tutti gli strumenti del cinema per mettere in scena una perfezione formale fatta di ambienti luminosi, personaggi leccati, colori splendenti e città immacolate, alla quale corrisponde sempre la vittoria dell'individualismo di uomini e donne che dietro i buoni sentimenti nascondono l'ansia di prevaricare e il gusto di ingannare gli altri per affermare se stessi.

She believes they are destined to be together, even though she never knows when they will be separated: Henry is a time traveler - cursed with a rare genetic anomaly that causes him to live his life on a shifting timeline, skipping back and forth through his lifespan with no control. Despite the fact that Henry's travels force them apart with no warning, Clare desperately tries to build a life with her one true love.







The Ugly Truth (La Dura Verità)

Starring Katherine Heigl, Gerard Butler, Eric Winter, John Michael Higgins, Nick Searcy, Kevin Connolly and Cheryl Hines.
Abby Richter (Katherine Heigl) is an ambitious morning talk show producer on "A.M. Sacramento" who prides herself on being able to find an instant solution to any problem - any problem that is except her own unhappily single status. When it comes to ******, the always-in-control Abby has a flawless track record of failure. When her show suffers a ratings slump, Abby is forced to team with the newly recruited special correspondent Mike Chadway (Gerard Butler), a man who couldn't push more of her buttons. His "The Ugly Truth" segment promises to spill the beans on what makes men really tick. But his outrageously racy, gleefully chauvinistic, "shock jock" style rubs Abby in all the wrong ways and to make matters worse, becomes an instant ratings bonanza, sealing his network status. Then Abby meets Colin, her neighbor, and he's a single doctor! He's everything Mike Chadway isn't - suave, polite, not remotely into jello wrestling - and this time, Abby doesn't want to blow it. She hates to admit it, but she needs Mike's insight into the male mind to make the right moves. Now, as Mike coaches Abby and Abby puts Mike's provocative seduction theories to the test, they are both about to discover an ironic truth: as different as we might be, men and women share some of our most secret feelings in common.

Cado Dalle Nubi

Con Checco Zalone, Dino Abbrescia, Giulia Michelini, Fabio Troiano, Raul Cremona.
Checco vive in Puglia e coltiva il sogno di fare il musicista neomelodico ma la sua ragazza, Angela, non lo prende sul serio e, stanca del suo disimpegno, lo abbandona. Addolorato, Checco lascia Polignano a mare e va dal cugino a Milano. Qui conosce la bella Marika, figlia di un leghista convinto, alla quale sembra non interessare che come amico, buffone di corte. Affranto, Checco decide allora di tentare il provino per il programma "I want you", che seleziona talenti musicali per la tv. Luca Medici, alias Checco Zalone, come tanti suoi colleghi s'imbarca sul volo che dal piccolo schermo, dal palcoscenico dei comici televisivi, porta al cinema, dentro un film. Con sé non ha una valigia di cartone ma un bagaglio più solido, che resiste al tragitto: un copione estremamente lineare, talora sbrigativo, ma mai volgare, e un gruppo di attori di contorno - su cui svetta Dino Abbrescia - che non si accontentano di offrire una spalla ma creano un piccolo mondo in una stanza. Finisce alla pari, dunque, il confronto tra Checco Zalone e lo spettatore accorto. A svantaggio dell'attore, il fatto che, nonostante non si tratti di una sequela di gag ma di un film in tutto autosufficiente, non per questo Cado dalle nubi si potrà vedere con lo stesso piacere più di una volta: è un umorismo one shot, occorre accontentarsi; a suo merito, che la risata è certa, incontenibile. Si riconfermano i punti forti dell'interprete: l'abilità nella scrittura della canzonetta demenziale nel contenuto e credibile nell'esecuzione e l'uso di un italiano storpiato dall'ignoranza, vergognosamente vicino a quello di tanta gente, giù dallo schermo. Gaffeur nato, "fenomeno" di stoltezza, il corpo comico di Checco Zalone è quello del modello sacrificale, che mette alla berlina in prima linea se stesso per costringere i suoi interlocutori al riesame di sé, alla fuoriuscita delle contraddizioni.

L'arrivo lassù della nonna di Gianluca che gli ricorda la giocosità dell'infanzia e che gli comunica la leggerezza di chi ha vissuto tanto e ha imparato ad accettare la vita per com'è, sembrerebbe la chiave risolutiva per salvarlo. Un mondo di sopravvissuti, smarrito. Ragazzi e ragazze che, grazie all'amico, rallentano per la prima volta la propria inutile corsa. Per guardarsi dentro. Forse.

Starring George Clooney, Vera Farmiga, Jason Bateman and Anna Kendrick.
The timely odyssey of Ryan Bingham (George Clooney), a corporate downsizer and consummate modern business traveler who, after years of staying happily airborne, suddenly finds himself ready to make a real connection. Ryan has long been contented with his unencumbered lifestyle lived out across America in airports, hotels and rental cars.

Ryan has nothing real to hold onto. When he falls for a simpatico fellow traveler (Vera Farmiga), Ryan's boss (Jason Bateman), inspired by a young, upstart efficiency expert (Anna Kendrick), threatens to permanently call him in from the road.

Avatar

Starring Sam Worthington, Zoë Saldana, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez and Sigourney Weaver.
A paraplegic ex-marine finds a new life on the distant planet of Pandora, only to find himself battling humankind alongside the planet's indigenous Na'vi race in this ambitious digital 3D sci-fi epic from Academy Award-winning Titanic director James Cameron. The film, which marks Cameron's first dramatic feature since 1997's Titanic, follows Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a war veteran who gets called to the depths of space to pick up the job of his slain twin brother for the scientific arm of a megacorporation looking to mine the planet of Pandora for a valued ore. Unfortunately the biggest deposit of the prized substance lies underneath the home of the Na'vi, a ten-foot-tall, blue-skinned native tribe who have been at war with the security arm of the company, lead by Col. Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang). Because of the planet's hostile atmosphere, humans have genetically grown half-alien/half-human bodies which they can jack their consciousnesses into and explore the world in. Since Jake's brother already had an incredibly expensive Avatar grown for him, he's able to connect with it using the same DNA code and experience first-hand the joys of Pandora while giving the scientific team, led by Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver) and Norm Spellman (Joel David Moore), some well-needed protection against the planet's more hostile forces. On a chance meeting after getting separated from his team, Jake's Avatar is rescued by Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), a Na'vi princess, who brings him into her tribe in order to give the humans a second chance at relating to this new environment. When word gets out of his increasing time with the alien species, Quaritch enlists Jake to do some reconnaissance for the company, as they'd like to persuade the tribe to move their home before taking more drastic measures to harness the treasure hidden below. Yet as Jake becomes one with the tribe and begins to understand the secrets of Pandora, his conscience is torn between his new adopted world and the wheelchair-bound one awaiting him when the psychic connection to his Avatar is broken. Soon battle lines are drawn and Jake needs to decide which side he will fight on when the time comes. The film was shot on the proprietary FUSION digital 3D cameras developed by Cameron in collaboration with Vince Pace, and offers a groundbreaking mix of live-action dramatic performances and computer-generated effects. The revolutionary motion-capture system created for the film allows the facial expressions of actors to be captured as a virtual camera system enables them to see what their computer-generated counterparts will be seeing in the film, and Peter Jackson's Oscar-winning Weta Digital visual-effects house supervises Avatar's complex special effects.







Brothers

Starring Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman, Sam Shepard and Clifton Collins, Jr.
Jim Sheridan's film, adapted from Susanne Bier's 2004 movie, concerns Captain Sam Cahill (Tobey Maguire), a Marine who receives orders to ship out for yet another tour of duty in Afghanistan. But before he leaves his supportive wife, Grace (Natalie Portman), and his two elementary-school-age daughters, Sam picks up his black sheep brother, Tommy (Jake Gyllenhaal), who has finished a prison stretch for robbing a bank. While overseas, Sam's aircraft gets shot down and he's thought dead. Back home, irresponsible Tommy gets his act together in order to be an anchor for Grace and the girls, and the two grow emotionally - though not physically - close. As the family finally begins to make peace with their grief, soldiers rescue POW Sam and he returns home. Sam's experiences overseas have caused him such emotional turmoil, he has a difficult time adjusting to civilian life, and soon his fear and paranoia manifest themselves in the form of jealousy for his brother's relationship with his wife.







Cado Dalle Nubi

Con Checco Zalone, Dino Abbrescia, Giulia Michelini, Fabio Troiano, Raul Cremona.
Checco vive in Puglia e coltiva il sogno di fare il musicista neomelodico ma la sua ragazza, Angela, non lo prende sul serio e, stanca del suo disimpegno, lo abbandona. Addolorato, Checco lascia Polignano a mare e va dal cugino a Milano. Qui conosce la bella Marika, figlia di un leghista convinto, alla quale sembra non interessare che come amico, buffone di corte. Affranto, Checco decide allora di tentare il provino per il programma "I want you", che seleziona talenti musicali per la tv. Luca Medici, alias Checco Zalone, come tanti suoi colleghi s'imbarca sul volo che dal piccolo schermo, dal palcoscenico dei comici televisivi, porta al cinema, dentro un film. Con sé non ha una valigia di cartone ma un bagaglio più solido, che resiste al tragitto: un copione estremamente lineare, talora sbrigativo, ma mai volgare, e un gruppo di attori di contorno - su cui svetta Dino Abbrescia - che non si accontentano di offrire una spalla ma creano un piccolo mondo in una stanza. Finisce alla pari, dunque, il confronto tra Checco Zalone e lo spettatore accorto. A svantaggio dell'attore, il fatto che, nonostante non si tratti di una sequela di gag ma di un film in tutto autosufficiente, non per questo Cado dalle nubi si potrà vedere con lo stesso piacere più di una volta: è un umorismo one shot, occorre accontentarsi; a suo merito, che la risata è certa, incontenibile. Si riconfermano i punti forti dell'interprete: l'abilità nella scrittura della canzonetta demenziale nel contenuto e credibile nell'esecuzione e l'uso di un italiano storpiato dall'ignoranza, vergognosamente vicino a quello di tanta gente, giù dallo schermo. Gaffeur nato, "fenomeno" di stoltezza, il corpo comico di Checco Zalone è quello del modello sacrificale, che mette alla berlina in prima linea se stesso per costringere i suoi interlocutori al riesame di sé, alla fuoriuscita delle contraddizioni.

A paraplegic ex-marine finds a new life on the distant planet of Pandora, only to find himself battling humankind alongside the planet's indigenous Na'vi race in this ambitious digital 3D sci-fi epic from Academy Award-winning Titanic director James Cameron. The film, which marks Cameron's first dramatic feature since 1997's Titanic, follows Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a war veteran who gets called to the depths of space to pick up the job of his slain twin brother for the scientific arm of a megacorporation looking to mine the planet of Pandora for a valued ore. Unfortunately the biggest deposit of the prized substance lies underneath the home of the Na'vi, a ten-foot-tall, blue-skinned native tribe who have been at war with the security arm of the company, lead by Col. Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang). Because of the planet's hostile atmosphere, humans have genetically grown half-alien/half-human bodies which they can jack their consciousnesses into and explore the world in. Since Jake's brother already had an incredibly expensive Avatar grown for him, he's able to connect with it using the same DNA code and experience first-hand the joys of Pandora while giving the scientific team, led by Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver) and Norm Spellman (Joel David Moore), some well-needed protection against the planet's more hostile forces. On a chance meeting after getting separated from his team, Jake's Avatar is rescued by Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), a Na'vi princess, who brings him into her tribe in order to give the humans a second chance at relating to this new environment. When word gets out of his increasing time with the alien species, Quaritch enlists Jake to do some reconnaissance for the company, as they'd like to persuade the tribe to move their home before taking more drastic measures to harness the treasure hidden below. Yet as Jake becomes one with the tribe and begins to understand the secrets of Pandora, his conscience is torn between his new adopted world and the wheelchair-bound one awaiting him when the psychic connection to his Avatar is broken. Soon battle lines are drawn and Jake needs to decide which side he will fight on when the time comes. The film was shot on the proprietary FUSION digital 3D cameras developed by Cameron in collaboration with Vince Pace, and offers a groundbreaking mix of live-action dramatic performances and computer-generated effects. The revolutionary motion-capture system created for the film allows the facial expressions of actors to be captured as a virtual camera system enables them to see what their computer-generated counterparts will be seeing in the film, and Peter Jackson's Oscar-winning Weta Digital visual-effects house supervises Avatar's complex special effects.

Meryl and Paul Morgan (Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant) are a highly successful Manhattan couple whose almost-perfect lives have only one notable failure - their dissolving marriage.

The Feds, protecting their witnesses, whisk away the Morgans from their beloved New York to a tiny town in Wyoming, and a relationship that was on the rocks threatens to end completely in the Rockies ... unless, in their new BlackBerry-free lives, the Morgans can slow down the pace and rekindle the passion.

Parigi, rue de Grenelle numero 7. Un elegante palazzo abitato da famiglie dell'alta borghesia. Ci vivono ministri, burocrati, maitres à penser della cultura culinaria. Dalla sua guardiola assiste allo scorrere di questa vita di lussuosa vacuità la portinaia Renée, che appare in tutto e per tutto conforme all'idea stessa della portinaia: grassa, sciatta, scorbutica e teledipendente. Niente di strano, dunque. Tranne il fatto che, all'insaputa di tutti, Renée è una coltissima autodidatta che adora l'arte, la filosofia, la musica, la cultura giapponese. Cita Marx, Proust, Kant... dal punto di vista intellettuale è in grado di farsi beffe dei suoi ricchi e boriosi padroni. Ma tutti nel palazzo ignorano le sue raffinate conoscenze, che lei si cura di tenere rigorosamente nascoste, dissimulandole con umorismo sornione. Poi c'è Paloma, la figlia di un ministro ottuso; dodicenne geniale, brillante e fin troppo lucida che, stanca di vivere, ha deciso di farla finita (il 16 giugno, giorno del suo tredicesimo compleanno). Fino ad allora continuerà a fingere di essere una ragazzina mediocre e imbevuta di sottocultura adolescenziale come tutte le altre, segretamente osservando con sguardo critico e severo l'ambiente che la circonda. Due personaggi in incognito, quindi, diversi eppure accomunati dallo sguardo ironicamente disincantato, che ignari l'uno dell'impostura dell'altro, si incontreranno solo grazie all'arrivo di monsieur Ozu, un ricco giapponese, il solo che saprà smascherare Renée.
