Template of the Week: In the Valley of Elah
http://templateofweek.blogspot.com/2009/06/in-valley-of-elah.html
Tuesday, June 9, 2009. In the Valley of Elah. Paul Haggis, 2007. I was pleasantly surprised by this small film that got absolutely no PR at all. It quietly slipped past most people. Tommy Lee Jones. Turns in perhaps his finest performance as a dad hunting for his AWOL son who's returned from Iraq and disappeared, garnering a well-deserved Oscar nomination for best actor. Charlize Theron. This one is not only very well made, but is based on a true story as well. Posted by José Sinclair. 1000 dvds to see.

Template of the Week: In Bruges
http://templateofweek.blogspot.com/2009/05/in-bruges.html
Friday, May 29, 2009. Martin McDonagh, 2008. This is a thoroughly enjoyable and creative black comedy, about two hit men hiding out in Bruges, Belgium, the best preserved medieval city in Europe. Rookie director Martin McDonagh. Got the idea for this film while visiting the city once, and the two characters represent his own split feelings about the town: beautiful and historic on one hand, then boring when that becomes the everyday routine. In two terrific performances, Brendan Gleeson. For actor in a c...

Saturday, May 23, 2009. Henrik Rueben Genz, 2005. This is a small Chinese-Danish film, yet manages to tell quite a poignant tale about loneliness and affection. An everyman-type plumber named Keld, played by Bjarne Henriksen. Finds that his wife of 25 years ( Charlotte Fich. Has decided that their marriage 'is a funeral', and moves out. Keld remains optimistic, hoping its just a separation, and he finds some solace in a daily routine of eating at the neighborhood Chinese grill. Posted by José Sinclair.

Template of the Week: Mrs. Miniver
http://templateofweek.blogspot.com/2009/05/mrs-miniver.html
Tuesday, May 19, 2009. William Wyler, 1942, bw. This was the first William Wyler. Film to win best picture after a slew of nominations. He would eventually be nominated for director 13 times, with 12 best picture nominations, by far the most for one director. Mrs. Miniver is a beautiful woman, played by Greer Garson. Nominee (actor) Walter Pidgeon. In perhaps his finest performance, and he reeks gentility and proper British mettle in doing the right thing for king and country, so he becomes a member of t...

Template of the Week: Milk
http://templateofweek.blogspot.com/2009/05/milk.html
Thursday, May 21, 2009. Gus Van Sant, 2008. Terrific and inspiring film from Gus Van Sant. About politician Harvey Milk, brilliantly played here by Sean Penn. Is featured in Milk in documentary footage, and seems to preach the religion of bigotry and hatred (and sounds eerily like the Nazis). Milk realized all this and fought for gay rights as an American Constitutionalist, so he was either going to win or American was going to lose its foundation. For best actor. Oscar. It’s a true story. How Much For t...
