| Paper Man
|
(2009 Kieran Mulroney)
Struggling writer Richard Dunne (Jeff Daniels) is unhappy with his status in middle age, but his friendship with a young woman (Emma Stone) helps him make it through the day, much to the anger of his wife (Lisa Kudrow). Though that description might sound rather pedestrian, this dramedy adds a twist to the formula by introducing Richard's imaginary friend, a superhero played by Ryan Reynolds.

(1999-2005 Jerzy Sladkowski)
"Paradiset" är dokumentärfilmaren Jerzy Sladkowskis tredje film om Kirunaparet Hans och Kerstin Stralström. Vi har träffat dem förut, först i filmen "Tango, gräl och ledbesvär" (1999) där det tangobitna paret under stora diskussioner och olika lektioner i tangodansens turer slutligen hamnar i Buenos Aires för att lära sig "riktig" tango.
I den andra filmen "Lappsjukan" (2001) kommet det besök till paret i Kiruna från de två galanta och lite överåriga Don Juan-vännerna Guillermo och Juan som paret mötte i Buenos Aires. De båda männen konfronteras med Norrlands vidder, skogen, tystnaden, bastubad och surströmmingsfest hos Hans och Kerstin.

| Paris, Texas
|
(1984 Wim Wenders)
'Paris, Texas' is probably Wim Wenders' most well known, critically acclaimed, and successful movie, winning a number of international prizes including the Cannes Palm D'Or for best film in 1984.
This unusual road movie, with screenplay by acclaimed playwright Sam Shepard, tells the tale of Travis, a man lost in his own private hell. Presumed dead for four years, he reappears from the desert on the Mexico border, world-weary and an amnesiac. He is picked up by his brother Walt who is bringing up Hunter, Travis' seven-year-old son, his ex-wife Jane having abandoned him at Walt's door several years before. As virtual strangers, Hunter and Travis begin to build a wary friendship and conspire to find Jane and bring her back to be a real family.
With extraordinary performances from Harry Dean Stanton as Travis and Nastassja Kinski as Jane, the film also boasts a soundtrack by Ry Cooder, ideally suited to the film's sunbleached landscapes and melancholy undertones.

| Pet Semetary

(1989 Mary Lambert)
svensk titel: Jurtjyrkogården
A doctor dabbles in magical resurrection with horrific consequences in this supernatural thriller adapted from the novel by Stephen King.
When Dr. Louis Creed (Dale Midkiff) and his family move from Chicago to an old farmhouse in rural Maine, their only concern is the busy highway that flanks their new home. Louis' family soon meet kindly old duffer Jud Crandall (Fred Gwynne), who introduces them all to the local attractions, including a pet cemetary built on the remains of a Native American burial ground. When Rachel and the kids head off to visit Louis' in-laws, Ellie's cat gets flattened by a truck. Jud counsels Louis to bury it in the old Indian portion of the cemetary; the next day, it returns from the dead, carrying with it the stink of the earth and a decidedly bad attitude. Shortly thereafter, Louis is tempted to use the cemetary's magical powers again when his son suffers a tragic accident. A snarling kitty, it turns out, is nothing compared to the horror of a little boy with no soul and a taste for scalpels.

| Phantom of the Opera

(2004 Joel Schumacher)
Those who thought that smoke machines and cobwebbed candelabras were the stuff of Halloween parties and dance clubs need to think again. In Joel Schumacher's film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Broadway musical THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, these moody set devices--and countless others--make every scene an atmospheric vision of souped-up 19th-century Gothic bliss.
Christine (Emmy Rossum) is a tortured young star who is haunted by the voice of the phantom (Gerard Butler), a musician who hides in the shadows to hide a facial disfigurement, yet sings to her obsessively. Dwelling in the dark, damp chambers beneath the Paris opera house, the phantom lords over the cast and management with artistic autocracy--he writes the shows, casts them, and threatens all who disobey his plans with dramatically violent outbursts. But when his young student Christine falls for the rich and dapper Raoul (Patrick Wilson), the phantom descends into madness.

In remaking this classic sci-fi horror film, director Tim Burton takes on a whopping challenge and succeeds.

I en hopplöst bonnig småstad någonstans i Sverige bor Maja, 18 år. Hennes högsta och enda dröm är att bli skådespelare. Hon vill stå i centrum, att alla ska se henne, den vackra människa hon är inuti. Det är bara lite svårt att se. Maja är kraftigt överviktig, klumpig och socialt missanpassad.
Erika Sohlman är 28 år och dokumentärfilmare från Stockholm. När hon träffar på Maja ser hon ett utmärkt tillfälle att skapa tragikomisk underhållning på Majas bekostnad. Lycklig över att äntligen få den uppmärksamhet hon förtjänar, tar Maja tacksamt emot chansen att bli filmad.
Vi får följa Maja och hennes kamp att förverkliga sina drömmar under sista terminen på gymnasiet, delvis filmat genom Erikas dokumentärkamera.

Searching for a remedy for the supernatural injury, he leaves his remote village for the forbidding forests of the west, where he finds a human enclave under siege from divine powers: deities of times past, the wolf gods, and San, a wild girl of the forest. Hayao Miyazaki's masterpiece depicts the clash between the natural world and its old gods, and the rise of humans and the beginnings of modern civilisation. It shows three elements of the Japanese psyche warring for supremacy in an epic ecological fable of stirring mythic power.

The two reconvene for 2006's THE PROPOSITION, with Cave penning the screenplay and providing a soundtrack written with Dirty Three member Warren Ellis. Cave's 19th-century tale begins with the proposition of the title, as Captain Stanley (Ray Winstone) captures fugitive brothers Charley (Guy Pearce) and Mikey Burns (Richard Wilson) at a scene of bloody rape and murder. Informing Charley that he must kill his older brother, Arthur (Danny Huston), in order to be set free, Stanley drags Mikey to a decrepit jailhouse while he waits for Charley to carry out the deed.

| Punishment Park
|
(1971 Peter Watkins)
Call it a pseudo-documentary, an outrageous piece of propaganda, perhaps even a paranoid fantasy, but one description that definitely does not apply to Punishment Park is "light entertainment."
Peter Watkins offers a chilling scenario, set in the early '70s, in which, according to an edict called the McCarran Act (which did exist, albeit in different form), the U.S. government has the right to detain (without bail, evidence, or anything resembling a fair trial) anyone who "probably will engage in certain future acts of sabotage." The detainees, most of them '60s radicals, are offered a choice between long prison sentences or three days in "Punishment Park," a scorching stretch of the Southern California desert; should they choose the latter, they will be released upon reaching an American flag planted many miles away, all the while avoiding capture (or, more likely, death) at the hands of a bunch of gung-ho cops, National Guardsmen, and other law enforcement types.
The film alternates between the "tribunals" where the radicals' fates are decided (and where the shrill hectoring and sloganeering--on both sides--come fast and furious) and the grim scenes in the desert.
