20 / 120 Films online
June 19th, 2007
The 20 new 20 / 120 films presented during BDA last week are now online. They run the gamut from full-on live action short films to fake infomercials and documentary to hand-animated music video …
My three favorites above are from Ben Radatz, Saiman, Sean and Chad, and Matt Tragesser.
On Singing and Dancing Australians
June 19th, 2007
My first contribution to CoP is an old remniscence on Grease I (another on Star Wars III is to follow shortly). The movie proves that a good soundtrack can go a very long way. Easy Rider, for example, is very boring without music, unless you like watching post-card perfect pictures of the American West of strange looking men on Harleys. (By contrast, the battle at Helms Deep at the end of the second Lord of the Rings just needs rain on the soundtrack). While there were a few scenes where I expected The Fonz to make a cameo appearance, Grease surprised me with its sense of humour (you keep a straight face during Frankie Avalon’s “Beauty School Drop Out!”), and its treatment of 50s (or high school) nostalgia. The musical succeeds because even though it does not aim to rise above ‘mere entertainment,’ it does not condescend to its characters or its audience. (More ’serious,’ artsy/indie movies would do well to remember this.)

What The World’s Been Waiting For
June 19th, 2007
Just when we thought we’d heard the last of him….
Growing Up Gotti star Carmine Gotti Agnello is back and wants to toss his mafia hat into the music world
Last seen on VH1’s Can They Sing?, Carmine is rechristening himself as C. Gotti and releasing a rap album with the Ruff Ryders (DMX, Jadakiss, Cassidy), who’ve produced his record.
Expect even more hair grease and fake tanner.
C. Gotti better hit the gym. We want some cheesy Guido shirtless rapping!!!
