tMF Perspectives: Brilliante Mendoza's Kinatay & The Current State of Philippine Cinema (Part 1)
1 November 2009 11:37 AM, PST
Cannes Prix de la mise en scène winner Brilliante Mendoza is, arguably, today's most acclaimed Filipino director. I'm not a fan, but I already started to watch his movies. In some ways, he is like Lino Brocka, Ishmael Bernal and Mike de Leon in how he portray the lives and struggles of Filipinos, but others will certainly disagree with the comparison.While two of these filmmakers- Brocka and de Leon also went to Cannes to compete, it was Mendoza's Kinatay who got to receive an award - and a major one at that. - - -
- - - When it was announced that Brilliante (his name means brilliant in English) has won the Best Director, I felt a mixture of pride and despair - pride because it was a major recognition for a filmmaker coming from a third world country and despair because the three filmmakers I mentioned above »

Movie Review: The Damned United
1 November 2009 8:31 AM, PST
Starring: Michael Sheen, Jim Broadbent, Timothy Spall, Colm Meany, Giles Alderson
Director: Tom Hooper
Release Date: October 29, 2009
Running Time: 97 miin
MPAA Rating: R
Distributor: BBC Films
- - -
"The Damned United" is a "based on a true life story about sports", in fact a great one, but director Tom Hooper finds it necessary to fulfill the film with off-field drama and tension, relying very little on the actual game of soccer. The lack of on-field action isn't missed at all because there is a hypnotizing portrait of hatred being presented, and that is the film's main priority. Mr. Hooper perceives a myriad of vanities within a single human being which ultimately lead him being reduced to a man without a moral center, establishing himself solely within his own mad ambitions. This represents a tale Shakespeare or the Greeks would examine, where one man is so consumed by his own »

tMF Special Report: The Art and Science of Movie Rating (Part 1): Interview with TwitCritics
30 October 2009 7:05 AM, PDT
Real Time, Real People, Real Reviews - that's the first thing I noticed when I first visited twitcritics.com. It's one thing for IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes to rank movies according to a set of rules and guidelines and it's another to base your ranking on tweets. In Part 1 of our report 'The Art and Science of Rating Movies', we look at how TwitCritics harness the power of Twitter to come up with 'real people's sentiments and reactions on the movies they just saw, the results of which we get in real-time.
- - -
- - - And we're talking about real people here, not just film critics and reviewers, which means, anyone who watched a movie and tweeted about it contributed to the final rating we see posted at TwitCritics.
More on Sentiment Analysis, movie ratings and our interview with Chris Nicholls of twitcritics.com after the jump! »

Nowhere Boy: A career-defining role for Aaron Johnson!
29 October 2009 12:50 PM, PDT
tMF has been keeping an eye on Aaron Johnson from the time we watched him in The Illusionist. He went on to grab a leading role in Kick-Ass, even after Matthew Vaughn, the director announced that he's not going to cast a British for the part. Apparently, Johnson made quite an impression. - - -
- - - At 19 years old, the ambitious, fearless and definitely independent-minded Johnson has just been nominated for Best Actor at the British Independent Film Awards for his role as the young John Lennon in Nowhere Boy. The film also received another 5 nominations, including Best British Independent Film. Is this Johnson's chance to move up his acting career even higher?
Critics seem to like the young actor, and early reviews of the film were very positive. More of Johnson, the trailer for Nowhere Boy and more insights after the jump!
