Memoirs of a Geisha is based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Arthur Golden. Brought to life by Rob Marshall Memoirs tells the tale of Sayuri Nita a young woman sold by her father to a geisha house and went on to become the most successful geisha during her time.

While I usually wouldn’t start off talking about what is wrong with a movie Memoirs has some glaring problems. The main problem is that this story of geisha is very Japanese, deeply rooted in Japanese culture and tradition yet all of the leading ladies are Chinese and everyone is speaking broken English. So to wrap that up neatly, Memoirs of a Geisha is a story of Japanese women, played by Chinese actresses who are all speaking broken American English. It begs the question: what was Rob Marshall thinking? It’s a little like when they had white actors playing Native Americans or Black people in American movies.

Now, if you can get past that gaffe, Memoirs is visually stunning. The sets are just breathtaking. It is filled with the most amazing settings and the most perfect flowers. I mean the blossoms on many of the trees were so perfect I just can’t believe they were real. And the beauty of the movie didn’t just stop with the settings but Colleen Atwood, the movies costume designer needs an Oscar nod becomes the costumes, from the women’s Kimonos to the men’s suits, were all stunning.

Memoirs is high on visual gratification but a little low on storytelling. While a well acted movie it was missing a little something. This something would take the movie from being a pretty good movie to a great one. Michelle Yeoh is excellent as Mameha, mentor to Ziyi Zhang’s Sayuri. She manages to be fierce, calculating and vulnerable while maintaing a perfectly polite, respectful demeanor.

Ziyi Zhang doesn’t quite work as Sayuri, the latest geisha phenom who lusts after a man she may never have. While her performance isn’t flat it doesn’t have the range of emotion this character calls for. She’s not quite angry enough when she needs to be, she doesn’t have the overflow of emotion that this character needs to get through her tragic and demanding existence, when she should show restraint she seems to disconnect instead. Ziyi Zhang showed us her amazing acting talent in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon but seemed to leave those talents at home for Memoirs.

The biggest disappointment of the movie was Li Gong as Hatsumomo. While I don’t think it’s her fault but the way Rob Marshall and writers Robin Swicord and Doug Wright interpreted the character from the novel, Hatsumomo comes across as vain, vindictive, insipid and whorish. Nothing could be further from the truth. Yes Hatsumomo’s character is vain and vindictive in the novel but there are reasons for this behavior that the movie barely touches on. They also portray her romance with a neighborhood young man as merely a fling without underscoring the isolation and loneliness of the geisha world.

The men in the movie are wholly underwhelming and don’t bear mentioning. All in all Memoirs is a very good film that barely misses being a really great one. It is definitely worth viewing if for no other reason than to immerse yourself in the beautiful, sad and mysterious world of the geisha.

Was it the sex or lack thereof that made this week’s season premiere of Showtime’s The L Word so anticlimactic? Was I thinking like a guy and only in it for the sex scenes? No, upon a brief reflection of Dana and Alice’s true to life awkwardness, what was missing was the earth shattering, character stretching dyke drama.

Instead, we get Baby’s Mama Drama. Tina and Bette passing the baby back and forth and lamenting that they don’t have time for sex. (Great guest appearance by Kate Clinton as the therapist, an icon in her own right. When will Showtime pick her up?) Regardless, Tina and Bette’s relationship wasn’t on great ground to start and they fell back on the “If we have a baby you will never leave me” scenario.

In the 80’s, I was told nothing held lesbians together better than a mortgage. That theory dried out quicker than the cement in the garage where my ex-partner and I etched our initials. Six months later she was gone, a victim of MPD, which was confusing for both of us, because one personality wanted to leave and the other didn’t understand why she was going. Sad but true.

Back to Bette-she is not working with benefit of an 18 month employment contract buyout, Tina- also not working, and a great ready-made-find-them-anytime-at-The-Planet-support/babysitting system. Go out to dinner and spend the night in blissful embrace if you want. What they lack is desire. In fact, that is what the first show lacked, desire. That and the fact that they can’t let go of the kid due to “attachment parenting”. Tell me this is not the wave of the future. It won’t be long before Bette and Tina will have to cut back on their $6 coffee drinks at all hours of the day.

What the show did offer was the relaxed comfort and friendship that comes from knowing someone a long time and seeing them at their worst and still wanting to buy them a double frappe latte soy something and balance it with a buttery chocolate croissant.

Speaking of delicious treats could Kate Moening as Shane be any better looking all taunt, tan and tinted. Shane never smiled more than in this first show and with Carmen at her side she has plenty to smile about. While many of my friends have touted dislike for Shane’s playing ways, I think we will see a personal growth in her new role committed and defining family. It has the potential to be one of the most powerful and encouraging struggles this season. Perhaps her new love, rumored to be Ellen’s ex Alex Hedison, is challenging the change on screen. Alex is on ten episodes this year, so the connection may be strong.

I personally found Kate as charming as her character as I stood in front of her at a cruise costume show. Me, the biggest nerd on the boat, filming my old comfortable friends, six rows back and waiting for my wife to win the Halloween costume contest. (You were robbed, Dr. Connie Lingus.)

As my friends pointed frantically to draw to my attention to the fact that I was standing in front of five cast members of the L Word, I look away from my camera to look right in the eyes of Kate. She smiled and complimented me on my Glow-in-the-Dark GAP bat boxers. It’s likely I am not up for a walk-on anytime soon.

This year, we may find that the drama comes in the form of healthy growth as Shane stretches, smiles and shines, and not the traditional family roles Bette and Tina have been forced into.

If you’re a fan of mysteries, then you’re going to love “Hush…Hush, Sweet Charlotte.” There’s no two-ways about it.

This is a creepy story that combines psychological drama, murder mystery, and Southern gothic in a fun and intriguing way. The opening is a lively party in 1927 where Charlotte Hollis (Bette Davis) is having the time of her life until her married lover Jim Mayhue (Bruce Dern) rejects her advances. All of a sudden, he loses his head—and hand, and Charlotte is found holding the bloody ax.

Now, fast forward 35 years or so and we find Charlotte alone and shunned because of the murder of her lover so many years before. She is left a little bit crazy with her maid and sole companion, Velma (Agnes Moorehead). That is, until her cousin Miriam (Olivia DeHavilland) shows up the help out with things at the “big house”. Although Miriam’s visit brings peace to Charlotte, she suddenly finds herself haunted by the ghost of her dead lover – strange, very strange.

The entire movie is filmed in black and white. The picture is crisp and clear and the black and white casts a shadowy mood over the entire production befitting the loathsome spirit of the murder that haunts Charlotte—the poor dear.

This movie is lively and spirited and is one of those rare gems with memorable lines, such as:

Jewel Mayhue: “Well, right here on the public street, in the light of day, let me tell you, Miriam Deering, that murder starts in the heart, and its first weapon is a vicious tongue.”

Charlotte: “Get out of here Luke Standish! You smirkin’ Judas!”

Harry Willis: “You’re my favorite living mystery.”

Charlotte: “Have you ever solved me?”

Charlotte: From where I’m standin’, I could spit in your eye!”

So, the very next time you’re in the video store and they’re out of the new release you want—pick up a copy of “Hush…Hush, Sweet Charlotte”.

You won’t be disappointed.

It is one of life’s greatest ironies that Ritwik Ghatak who is today something of a cult figure in Bengal was so little understood and appreciated during his lifetime. Despite the fact that today his films have won much critical acclaim, the fact remains that in their time they ran to mainly empty houses in Bengal. Ghatak’s films project a unique
sensibility. They are often brilliant, but almost always flawed.

Born in Dhaka (now in Bangladesh), the partition of Bengal and the subsequent division of a culture was something that haunted Ghatak forever. Joining the left-wing Indian People’s Theatre Association (IPTA), he used to work for a few years as a playwright, actor and director. When IPTA split into factions, Ghatak turned to filmmaking.

By and large Ghatak’s films revolve around two central themes: the experience of being uprooted from the idyllic rural milieu of East Bengal and the cultural trauma of the partition of 1947. His first film, Nagarik (1952) weaved the oppressive tale of a young man, his futile search for a job and the erosion of his optimism and idealism as his family sinks into abject poverty and his love affair too turns sour. Ghatak then accepted a job with Filmistan Studio in Bombay but his ‘different’ ideas did not go down well there. He did however write the scripts of Musafir (1957) and Madhumati (1958) for Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Bimal Roy respectively, the latter becoming an all time evergreen hit.

After this brief stint followed by his comeback to his good old Calcutta, he made Ajantrik (1958) about a taxi driver in a small town in Bihar and his vehicle, an old Chevrolet jalopy. An assortment of passengers gives the film a wider frame of reference and provided situations of drama, humor and irony.

However, his “magnum opus” happens to be none other than Meghe Dhaka Tara (1960), the first film in a trilogy, examining the socio-economic implications of partition. The protagonist Nita (played by Supriya Chowdhury) is the breadwinner in a refugee family of five. Everyone exploits her and the strain proves too much. She succumbs to
tuberculosis. In an unforgettable moment, the dying Nita cries out “I want to live…”, while the camera pans across the mountains, thereby accentuating the indifference and eternity of nature even as the echo reverberates over the shot.

Complexities notwithstanding, Meghe Dhaka Tara reaches out to the audience with its directness, its simplicity, and its unique stylistic use of melodrama. Melodrama as a legitimate dramatic form has continued to play a vital role in rural Indian theatre and folk dramatic forms. Ghatak goes back to these roots in his presentation of a familiar struggle for survival, which has lost its dramatic force and pathos through repetition in real life.
In Meghe Dhaka Tara, day-to-day events transform into high drama: Nita’s tormented romance is intensified with the harsh sweep of the whiplash on the soundtrack; Shankar’s song of faith in a moment of despair reaches the height of emotional surrender with Nita’s voice joining his and Nita’s urge to live becomes a universal sound of affirmation reverberating in Nature, amidst the distant peaks of the Himalayas.

The three principal women characters in this film embody the traditional aspects of feminine power. The heroine, Nita, has the preserving and nurturing quality; her sister, Gita, is the sensual woman; their mother represents the cruel aspect. The incapacity of Nita to combine and contain all these qualities is the imminent source of her tragedy.

Besides, here Ghatak tries to delve deep into our roots and traditions and discover a universal dimension within it. And for the first time, he says he experimented with the techniques of overtones. In the film, Ghatak succeeds in achieving a grand totality through an intricate but harmonious blending of each part with the whole in the inner
fabric of the film. Meghe Dhaka Tara transcends into a great work of art that enriches and transforms the visual images into metamorphic significations…

The music in the film perfectly intermingles with the visuals, none dislodging the other be it a remarkable orchestration of a hill motif with a female moaning or a staccato cough with a surging song.

Here, it would be relevant to mention that Ghatak weaves a parallel narrative evoking the celebrated Bengali legends of Durga who is believed to descend from her mountain retreat every autumn to visit her parents and that of Menaka. This double focus, condensed in the figure of Neeta, is rendered yet more complex on the level of the
film language itself through elaborate, at times non-diegetic sound effects working alongside or as commentaries on the image ( e.g. the refrain Ai go Uma kole loi, i.e. Come to my arms, Uma, my child, used through the latter part of the film, esp. on the face of the rain-drenched Neeta shortly before her departure to the sanatorium).
This approach allows the film to transcend its story by opening it our towards the realm of myth and to the conventions of cinematic realism (e.g. evoked in the Calcutta sequences).

“Meghe Dhaka Tara” was followed with Komal Gandhar (1961), concerning two rival touring theatre companies in Bengal and Subarnarekha (1965). The last is a strangely disturbing film using melodrama and coincidence as a form rather than
mechanical reality.

His next film, Titash Ekti Nadir Naam (1973), done for a young Bangladesh producer happens to be focusing on the life and eventual disintegration of a fishing community on the Titash. However, this epic saga was completed after many problems at the shooting stage including his collapse due to tuberculosis and was a commercial failure.

Notably, Jukti Takko Aar Gappo (1974), the most autobiographical and allegorical
of his films, was made just before his untimely demise. Here, he himself played the main role of Nilkanta, an alcoholic intellectual. The film has been spoken about in critique circle for Ghatak’s stunning use of the wide-angle lens to most potent effect.

Unfortunately for Ghatak, his films were largely unsuccessful. Many remaining unreleased for years, he abandoned almost as many projects as he completed. Ultimately the intensity of his passion, which gave his films their power and emotion, took their toll on him, as did tuberculosis and alcoholism. However he has left behind a limited, but
subtly rich and intricate body of work that no serious scholar of Indian Cinema can dare ignore.

Florida Film Festival
Southeast Premiere

Producer-director Dori Berinstein’s full-length documentary “Show Business” is certainly a movie to remember. The film, which won the Grand Jury prize for best documentary at the Florida Film Festival, packs the 2003-2004 season’s worth of rehearsals, performances, reviews, and awards into 104 minutes of excitement.

In fact, Berinstein whittled down nearly 400 interviews and 400 hours of footage to focus on four major musicals produced that year: the $3.5 million “Avenue Q,” “the $7.5 million “Caroline, Or Change,” the $10 million “Taboo,” and the $14 million “Wicked.” She follows their stars, producers, writers, and directors as they struggle through the season with their eyes on the prize, i.e., The Tony Awards.

“Show Business” is like having a VIP All Access Backstage pass to see what goes on behind the curtain at Broadway’s biggest shows. In addition to Kristin Chenoweth, Tonya Pinkins and other stars attached to the shows, Broadway storytellers including Alan Cumming, Chris Boneau and William Goldman provide their insights, theater critics share their opinions, and theater-goers such as Billy Jean King put in their two cent’s worth.

It’s also great fun to see “Taboo” producer Rosie O’Donnell and composer/lyricist Boy George share their thoughts on how the critics and crowds react to their gender-bending production that stars a London unknown, Euan Morton, in an uncanny performance as the famed lead singer of Culture Club.

Berinstein expertly weaves the stories together chronologically and emotionally. You can’t help but share the hope, elation, fear, and disappointment of all the Broadway players, despite which particular show you’re hoping will win.

Similarly, the theater critics come across as real people trying to do their best at their jobs. During four separate meetings at various points during the season, several top theater critics and columnists meet for lunch to talk about the current status of Broadway shows. They criticize, but sympathize. They’re flabbergasted by public taste. They argue with each other. But mostly, they just love good theater.

When it comes to good theater and good film, Berinstein’s got them both covered. And she promises even more; some of those missing 398 ½ hours of footage will appear on the DVD.

You’ve undoubtedly had the experience of turning on your TV, for a long time now, “powered” by cable or satellite, and you realize to your regret, that there’s NOTHING on that you want to watch.

How can this be?

Hundreds of channels, such as the “Watching Paint Dry Channel” and “The Quilting Channel” and the “All Infomercials Channel,” and still, you have no interest in even pressing the remote.

“How could home entertainment get any worse?” you might wonder.

For an answer to that question, visit your video store. I’m not speaking of Blockbuster, which might be re-named, Blockheads, featuring the equivalent of radio’s Top 40 hits, ad nausea.

I’m talking about a reasonably stocked, medium sized establishment, occupying 2,500 or more square feet that contains “classic” movies, too.

Today, I could rent three for the price of two, so I went in and I was only able to emerge with ONE video, from thousands of choices. I invested the better part of twenty minutes scouring shelves until my eyes blurred.

As a kid I’d argue with my family about whether we should watch science fiction or a live variety show, both of which were engaging. That was a good problem, as it turns out.

I’d squirt home after school to tune in very old TV reruns, nearly every one of which was a winner, at least in my estimation. I actually LOOKED FORWARD to a number of programs.

Is that even possible today, given the choices?

Today, it must be easier than ever to break into show business with so many garbage channels available to display mediocre work products. Heck, you could probably start your own channel!

Supposedly, there was a “Golden Age of TV” somewhere in the 1950’s, but I believe there was a different one, in the 70’s and 80’s. During that time, in parts of Los Angeles, you could see the “Z Channel” on cable.

It was always a surprise, showing ultra-cool and hip movies you’d never heard of, and it was “programmed” by a guy who became a legend, in his own right.

There’s a documentary floating around about “Z” and this gent, and I commend it to you, if you can find it somewhere in the video aisles or in the airwaves.

One and only. A true original. An acting genius hiding behind that disarming wide “shark grin.” Jack!

My first memory of Jack Nicholson goes back to the Easy Rider (1969), that unforgettable counter-culture classic of a road-buddy movie.

And other classics followed quickly from this unexceptionally talented actor born in Neptune, New Jersey on April 22, 1937.

His fantastic record includes films such as One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975), Chinatown (1974), The Postman Always Rings Twice (1981), Prizzi’s Honor (1985), Terms of Endearment (1983), Batman (1989), A Few Good Men (1992), As Good As It Gets (1997), About Schmidt (2002), and Something’s Gotta Give (2003).

He has been nominated 12 times for the Academy Award and won it in 1976 for Best Actor in a Leading Role in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975), in 1984 for Best Actor in a Supporting Role in Terms of Endearment (1983) , and for a THIRD time in 1998 for Best Actor in a Leading Role in As Good as It Gets (1997).

Did you know these trivia facts about Nicholson?

1) He was abandoned by his father after he was born. For years he thought his grandmother was his mother and his mother was his sister.

2) He was asked to play Michael Corleone in the Godfather before the role ultimately went to Al Pacino.

3) He loves and collects fine art. Owns a few paintings by Picasso.

4) He once said “You only lie to two people in your life: your girlfriend and the police.”

5) His motto is “more good times.”

The internet has revolutionized the world in more ways than one. Beginning as a virtual storehouse of all information, it progressed to provide other services like downloading free songs, music videos and movies.

Aside from watching movies in the theatre, you have the option of renting a video and watching it in the privacy of your home. Though movie rentals are still a popular option, the latest buzz is downloading movies from the internet.

The trend of downloading movies from the internet has become so popular that a website has claimed that at least three billion movies, video songs and clips were downloaded in just one month. The claim may or may not be an exaggeration, but it definitely points to the increasing popularity of downloading movies.

One way to download a movie is the file swapping method. This works in the same way as sharing music files. The process is, for the most part, illegal. Those involved gain access to sneak previews of the movies, copy the film and put them on websites. In fact, these movies reach people faster than they do in theaters.

Film companies stand to lose, and it is no surprise that they have tried to take legal recourse to find a solution.

In a bid to stop this menace, movie companies are trying to save the day by offering movies for free downloading. For this, customers need to pay a fee and watch the movie within twenty-four hours or the files become inaccessible.

Free Movie Downloads provides detailed information about free movie downloads, free DVD movie downloads, free movie software downloads, free movie trailer downloads and more. Free Movie Downloads is the sister site of DVD Rentals Info.

One of the most popular television sitcoms ever, Cheers is the perfect series for anyone who’s ever been to a regular getaway “where everyone knows your name”. The show revolves around a friendly neighborhood Boston bar on Beacon Street named Cheers. Owned by former Red Sox relief pitcher Sam Malone (Ted Danson), the bar is frequented by a host of regular customers and has three employees: bartender Woody Boyd (Woody Harrelson), waitress Carla Tortelli (Rhea Pearlman), and Diane Chambers (Shelley Long). Celebrated psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammar) is a common fixture at the bar (and later stars in his own award-winning series, Frasier). Barflies Cliff Clavin (John Ratzenberger) Norm Peterson (George Wendt) finish off a strong supporting cast of zany characters.

The Cheers (Season 4) DVD offers a number of hilarious episodes, including the first episode of the season which features the gang at Cheers and their remembrance of the late Ernie Pantusso (Coach). In this first episode, Indiana farm boy Woody Boyd arrives to meet his pen-pal (who happens to be Coach), but upon learning of Coach’s death, Woody is hired by Sam to be a bartender. We also learn in the initial episode that Diane left Frasier at the altar during the couple’s trek across Europe. The season ends with an improbable romance between Sam and the beautiful and intelligent city councilwoman Janet Eldridge (Kate Mulgrew). Diane is insanely jealous of Sam and Janet’s romance, and the season ends with Sam’s over-the-phone marriage proposal to a mysterious woman…
