Outrage: The latest film from Takeshi Kitano
Takeshi Kitano makes a long-awaited return to the gangster genre with this embittered look at the formal hierarchies and manipulative “honor” of the Japanese yakuza, and what happens to those on the losing end of the power struggle. A crisis is triggered within a powerful syndicate by, of all things, too much friendship between enemies. One boss is too chummy with a rival, which demands the sending of a message—though with a certain restraint. Unfortunately, the low-level boss picked for the job is Otomo (Kitano), who doesn’t know the meaning of restraint (a particular dentist-chair scene makes this point perfectly clear). Suddenly a war is on, as rivals become allies and allies rivals. For the ever-scheming opportunists of the yakuza, however, allies are just those people you vow loyalty to before eventually killing. Leaving behind the cheerful eccentricities of his more recent work and the playful experimentation of earlier gangster masterpieces like Sonatine (SFIFF 1995), Kitano moves into far bleaker, almost existential terrain. To borrow the title of a seminal 1973 Kinji Fukasaku film, the battles here are truly without honor or humanity, and seemingly destined to play on a continuous loop for eternity.

I Come With The Rain (2008) A supremely moody film from Anh Hung Tran, director of Cyclo and The Scent of Green Papaya. The story revolves around a troubled detective (an excellent Josh Hartnett)and a ganster (played by Korean star Byung-hun Lee (I Saw The Devil, The Good, the Bad, the Weird)); both searching for a christ-like young man(Takuya Kimura (2046)) who has gone missing. We also flashback to an artistic serial killer played by Elias Koteas.
Excellent music from Thee Silver Mt. Zion and beautiful cinematography. |

The REAL Story Behind The Location of HOLLYWOOD!!! (1909) -
Many people think that Hollywood is situated in California because of all of the glorious sunshine associated with the area, but the real reason behind the placement of Hollywood is a little more sly than most would think.
While it is true that it takes a lot of light to produce good films, especially in the early days of the industry, it actually had much more to do with patent infringement.
Thomas Edison, the noted inventor, still held a patent on film cameras, and the movie makers who were infringing on those rights weren't too keen on handing over their cash either, so to get as far away from Edison's lawyers as possible, they moved as far away as possible, while still remaining in the United States.
The back-up plan, should the lawyers also follow them westwards, was to then move on down south into nearby and accommodating Mexico.
