Without Men

The big buzz about Without Men, Argentine director Gabriela Tagliavini's film adaptation of James Canon's Tales From the Town of Widows opening in Los Angeles at the Maya Indie Film Series, seems to be about star Eva Longoria's lesbian love scene with Kate del Castillo. And if that's the kind of thing that floats your boat, you might well want to see the film; if not, there is little else to recommend it. There is a lot of sex in the film, but most of it is on the level of the dirty joke. It is neither stimulating, nor exciting. Certainly it is meant to be funny, but more often than not it is merely embarrassing.

Without Men is a comic fairy tale set in a small town "mucho mucho far away," where all the men, except the local priest, have either been killed by revolutionaries or impressed into their service. Left alone the women are forced to take over, and after a hiccup or two, it turns out they can handle the job as well if not better than their bumbling men folk. They may need the men to keep the race going, but that's about it. Longoria plays a bossy strong willed woman who becomes the mayor of the town after the men are gone, and while she does eventually get the women to work together as a cohesive community, and demonstrate that women can get along just fine without male supervision, it almost seems to happen in spite of her, rather than as a result of anything she does. If this is meant as a feminist statement, and I would suppose it is, it is feminism 'lite.' Still, it is a comedy, so what else could you expect.

Bright vivid colors in the town contrasted with the darker tones of the outer world emphasize the fairy tale quality of the film. It very much echoes the transition from black and white to color in The Wizard of Oz. Indeed the colors pop just as brightly. Oneita Parker's costumes, except for the few scenes immediately after the men are taken when all the women but one wear widow's black, burst with color as well. A bright musical score including some catchy songs adds an additional magical element to the film's mise en scene.

Rating 8/10 *A must watch

Adele - Rolling In The Deep

The sort of mood I am in,reminded me of this song.Where is that compassion?,The fire we go on about?,The bs of everyone who think they at the top of the world only to find they are on the cliff and wishful thinking that no one will push them?.If you screw everyone in your path,do you really believe they will have your back.

Here it is for all you of,who still have the fire to take themselves to height that everyone will envy.. So carry on and dont stop for nothing ..

Take me home 2Night

Do you remember the 80s? Of course you do. Everyone remembers the 80s even if you didn’t live through them. It was pop-art made flesh and then made neon. There were bright colors, exuberant clothes, and if your song didn’t feature at least one synthesizer, then it wasn’t worth listening to it. We’ve been to the 80s and it’s tough to find a reason to go back. Take Me Home Tonight certainly can’t find one and it drowns its affable leads and their charming performances in a sea of nostalgia and iconography.

Matt (Topher Grace) is a recent MIT grad who is wasting away his mathematical genius at the local Suncoast Video Store. While he’s pondering his meaningless existence, his high-school crush Tori Frederking (Teresa Palmer) walks in to the store, and Matt hides the fact that he works there. He lies to Tori by telling her he works at Goldman Sachs, and she invites him to a party that night. Matt sees this as his big chance and brings along his twin sister Wendy (Anna Faris) and best friend Barry (Dan Fogler) as back-up. But both Wendy and Barry have their own drama. Wendy wants to study creative writing at Cambridge but is afraid her dim bulb boyfriend Kyle (Chris Pratt) won’t be supportive, and Barry, after being laid off from his long-time job at a car dealership, wants the college experience he never had. Matt, Wendy, and Barry head to the party looking to have a good time and end up having life-changing revelations through their night of revelry. But all of this charm is no match for the unanswerable question: Why is this movie set in the 1980s? When I interviewed Topher Grace a couple weeks ago, he said that their intent was to make a movie that wasn’t a parody and recalled the way movies like Dazed and Confused and American Graffiti simply exist in a time period rather than constantly call attention to it. It doesn’t look like director Michael Dowse got that message. Every song in the movie is an 80s hit and most of the costumes scream “Can you believe people wore that?!”. The movie revels in its aesthetic, but never justifies its existence. More than anything, the 80s setting simply provides a distraction.
With the 80s candy coating not making the movie any sweeter, the film’s other flaws begin to show. The pacing is slow and when the flick slams into the third act and has to develop the more dramatic material for Matt and Wendy, it doesn’t realize that Barry’s storyline is crucial to keeping the energy of the film alive. Furthermore, the story spreads itself so thin that Wendy’s storyline feels simplistic and underserved when compared to Matt’s coming-of-age conflict and Barry’s cocaine-fueled shenanigans.

The cast of Take Me Home Tonight do their best to keep the movie afloat in the raging seas of 80s nostalgia. The actors play well off each other, understand their characters, and have solid comic timing. But rather than let these characters breathe and emote in a movie that happens to take place in the 80s, the characters of Take Me Home Tonight are always overshadowed by the fact that they’re in an 80s movie.

my personal favourite movie,loved each and every second of it.
