Filmjahresrückblick 2010: Die Top Ten

All of life's riddles are answered in the movies.
( Steve Martin)

Two more days, then also the first year in the second decade of the 21st Century rum. And so Symparanekronemoi is now in its fifth year, with the traditional film Year in Review as a statutory post in a sum of its rather weak film year. This can also be in my personal consummation examine, was wearing my film in 2010 with 116 films, including both lower than the previous year (134 movies) as well as that of 2008 (120 films). The whole thing is really clear in the admissions that are (not taken into confirmatory sightings) this year only 57 plays and passes that fell compared to 2008 by almost 50 percent. So it was that I this year, more movies, because seen in the cinema I (59 DVD sightings).

Another clue to the qualitative decline in the cinematic landscape is found in the fact that out of my 57 visits to the cinema at least 28 sightings went to press screenings, which makes for a percentage evaluation of 49 percent every other film and a higher value corresponds than in previous years (2008: 48.6% 2009: 43.3%). My personal tendency was thus away from venture into the unknown (which was then rescheduled at no additional cost on DVD) and towards the second viewing of movies, what happened in the cinema at least five plants. This could either appeal found that her new theatrical release is justified or how Inception in the best Indiana Jones-style simply deserves a second chance (and playful in this case).

Where Inception failed with me, he liked elsewhere. Even if he was pushed to the finish line yet from the platform of the three most profitable Film 2010. The first two places to take this Toy Story 3 and Alice in Wonderland one with more than one billion U.S. dollar box office. A brand that surely the third-placed Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part I would have achieved would be the 3-D conversion As with the colleagues have been able in time. A small consolation for Christopher Nolan and his Dream Catcher: Inception advanced in Switzerland and in Denmark and Sweden the most successful movie of the year. And even at the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is the 'blockbuster art-house cinema with 8.9/10 the top position this year.

sealing was followed Nolan's acclaimed masterpiece this year's winner of that very Toy Story 3 (8.7/10), with a severed The Social Network (8.1/10) and second losers (as of: 29.12.2010). His triumph owed to the Pixar fun especially the English-speaking nations of the former British Empire, Toy Story 3 was still in the U.S. and the UK (where he played twice as much a like Inception ) and Australia, plus Spain's undisputed number one. And this year was the battle Pixar-DreamWorks in a new round. Countries such as Poland, Portugal and Russia consumed rather Shrek Forever After , who landed in Brazil, too, before Pixar. This does not mean that he was the favorite at Sugarloaf.

Rather, Brazil is one of the countries that saw the best natural product. Here was Tropa de Elite 2 the rage this year, you looked also in New Zealand ( Boy ), South Korea ( This Man ), Japan ( Kari-gurashi no Arietti ), Czech Republic ( Ženy v pokušení ), Turkey (New Yorkta Minare 5), Norway ( Knerten gifter seg ), Finland ( Napapiirin Sankarit ) and France (Les petits mouchoirs ) no more than a national film production. The Canadians followed the other hand Alice in Wonderland , which in Italy was also very good (2nd place), but after all only half as much as earned annual winners Avatar . And like so many separate German and Dutch too, it united them in 2010 their shared passion for Harry Potter 7.1 , who was in both countries at the top.

most successful German film was the way Markus Goller Friendship! , who landed in this country after all, in 12th place with about a half million visitors. The nearly nine times more could attract more than the very successful 13 Semester , but what does one expect from an audience with the Eclipse and Inception a neck-and-neck race delivered? Goller is the winner of the German film jumping internationally different winners in the eye. Tim Burton, for example, the Alice in Wonderland became his biggest financial success. Or Gemma Arterton, who appeared in four films in 2010 that brought together nearly 850 million U.S. dollars. Above all, however, probably Christopher Nolan, who should now finally enjoy free rein.

was really impressive, however, the English actor Christian McKay, whose portrayal of the incomparable film legend Orson Welles Richard Linklater's Me and Orson Welles outstanding precipitated. McKay sometimes merges with the great man such that you believe to see it happening. On female side was the play of the 69-year-old South Korean Kim Hye-ja in Bong Joon-ho's Madeo in memory and even stole past Greta Gerwig's refreshing performance in Greenberg . The best newcomer is probably Bethany Whitmore, which can be heard in Mary and Max Admittedly only, but it still presented some colleagues in the shade. As for the TV landscape, ran Dexter its competition this year, which with seven-league boots.

Otherwise, 2010 in memory as the year of the bad 3-D. on Quentin Tarantino returns the quote: "This CGI bullshit is the death knell of cinema. If I'd wanted all that computer game bullshit, I'd have stuck my dick in a Nintendo. " What is given all the bad 3-D conversions of Alice in Wonderland to the meltdown Clash of the Titans and in respect of some use of special effects (for example, in Black Swan ) can be so . Otherwise it was in the agonizing and almost entirely uneventful, without significant highlights - and 2011 promises to be no better. On that note: Here are my best while ten films of the year, the Ten flop (this time as a link list), as usual in the comments:

10th Mary and Max (Adam Elliot, AUS 2009) : In his debut feature film tells a touching story of Adam Elliot friendship, loneliness, outsiders and death. The letter friendship between a New Yorker who suffered from Asperger's and an Australian girl is determined by many tragic-comic moments. The amazing idea and convincing implementation compensate the best animated film of the year, some redundancy and substantive shortcomings.

9th I Love You Phillip Morris (Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, F / USA 2009) : Even Glenn Ficarra and John Requa end up with her debut film directly in this year's rankings. Their tragic love story about two gay prisoners precipitated by their sincerity and the excellent Darstellerduo to Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor. The next bit short, but extremely entertaining prison outbreaks make the movie and the story of his protagonist to remember.

8th An Education (Lone Scherfig, GB / USA 2009) : pop writer Nick Hornby in wonderful '60s equipment told with subtle social criticism and attractive ensemble of love and life history of a 16-year-olds, the advances of an elderly ne'er-do and the culture forfeited. Lone Scherfig credibly staged and compelling game of Carey Mulligan, Alfred Molina joke alive, is the coming-of-age drama and period piece only be hasty end in your way.

7th A Prophet (Jacques Audiard, F / I 2009) : With L'ennemi public n ° 1 submitted the French in the previous year, two overrated gangster films. And with A Prophet the Paris director Jacques Audiard moved at the beginning of the year following the same. His prison drama mixes elements of the classic Mafia film with Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo and the HBO series Oz . While this does not proceed without some vulnerability, but in principle Audiard presented very successful and addictive genre cinema.

6th The End of the Line (Rupert Murray, GB 2009) : For 1.2 billion people fish the main ingredient their diet. According to experts, our seas, however, could be fished out at the current level in sixty years. The debt bearing in mind the acting irresponsible politicians and we ourselves succeed Rupert Murray an important but daunting inventory, as well as a wake up call, which should make every episode before it's too late for change, perhaps.

5th A Single Man (Tom Ford, USA 2009) : In Tom Ford's debut film is the director may be the worst, but not so bad. For this distinguished addition to the ensemble cast, the soundtrack and the costumes especially the impressive writer of whose lines often seem like poetry, with wonderfully subtle and philosophical interference and reflections about life. Overall A Single Man is a film that does little wrong and is one of the most honest contributions this year.

4th Exit Through the Gift Shop (Banksy, GB 2010) : A mockumentary in which Banksy staged brilliantly by Mise en abyme itself. His debut film draws from the fact that he did not fail to deliver authentic insights into the street scene and at the same time as a narrative and rigorous Total package sold. This film owes it primarily to play by Thierry Guetta, that the illusion that there could be a documentation is maintained.

third Sin Nombre (Cary Fukunaga, MEX / USA 2009) : Half a million people migrate illegally every year in the U.S., three quarters of them from Mexico and Latin American countries. In his debut film Sin Nombre manages the immigrant child Cary Fukunaga able to link a Border-Crossing-story with an intensive course drama. A visually stunning scenery and beautiful images support with credible young actors this haunting story.

second Food Inc. (Robert Kenner, USA 2008) : You are what you eat - especially in the U.S., where one in three people is obese. Debt, the lobbying and corruption permeated by national food system. Robert Kenner followed in his documentation of the way U.S. food company and shows shocking images of legalized cruelty to animals, prepare not only for the abused animals care, but ultimately for the health of their consumers.

first Autumn Gold (Jan Tenhaven, D / A 2010) : Over a year accompanied by an illustrious Jan Tenhaven small group of quite active athletes, the one grown by this document as their own grandparents to my heart. This Autumn Gold is not a sports movie, but a manifesto of five people who are bursting with vitality and thus defy the gloomy existence pensioners and death. Ultimately Tenhaven managed to an exceptional and extraordinary film.

Léon - Director's Cut

I like these calm little moments before a storm. It reminds me of Beethoven.

A day like any other could have been. Dope enough at the start, the preferred prostitute at hand, even before a relaxing massage. As it suddenly cracks in Walkie-talkie. A message that a shot. Panic is spreading. "Somebody's coming up Somebody serious", pressed Fatman (Frank Senger), as the writer calls him out. In the face of danger, one of his men still draws a line of coke in the nose, while outside in the hallway to die already the first fellow. One is flying headlong down the staircase, the other being strangled. Meanwhile Eric Serra takes on composition of pace is faster, louder, more present and it represents the main character, seen previously only in outline.

The protagonist is Leon (Jean Reno), set for the U.S. and German theatrical release with the nickname "The Professional" respectively "The Professional". Léon is precise, mellow, cool. And as soon as he came, he disappears again. As he enters his apartment complex, leads the camera on the second main character. Childlike xylophone music accompanies the vertical camera pan to the 12-year-old Mathilda (Natalie Portman), whose youthful image is hindered by the Cigarette she smokes. "I'm already grown up," Mathilda reveals later. "I'm just getting older". It is the middle child in a dysfunctional family, hated by her half-sister and step-mother, because a symbol of an affair of the father who punishes them for it with shots.

"Is life always this hard or just when you're a kid?" Asks Mathilda with her bleeding nose Léon. She has no idea that their insubordination save her life that morning, and place both the sword of Damocles over Léons fate. Because their half-sister she did not want to see let Transformers , instead turn to their exercise program, and Matilda refused to buy for the family, it gets a beating again. It is Leon helpfulness which means that they will bring him milk and during the robbery of a corrupt DEA agent Stansfield (Gary Oldman) on Mathilda's father - a little gangster, Stansfield and his men brought by ten percent of their substance - absent .

Stansfield perfected in turn is a sociopath. On drugs, he stormed into the apartment of the blended family and executed the first mother, then daughter, before ultimately less Mathilda Half-brother and her father have to believe it. Stanfield himself compares the situation with Beethoven: powerful at the beginning and then weakly in the financial statements. The making of the film shows how Oldman extended the original scene in any setting before the finished product was present imitative of piano playing, which has made it into Léon . Stanfield is in the best manner by Luc Besson Auteur oversubscribed, as he rushes blindly a residential building, shoots wildly, children executed, and even shooting at the neighbors. Powerful at the beginning, tired with a qualification. is

For Leon, the potted plant, the only living creature that in its environment tolerate ("It's my best friend. Always happy. No questions"), takes place all this in a different world. Until this world at a time to ring with watery eyes at the door begins. Think fast Mathilda has recognized the threat by Stan Fields and Leon identified the presence of flat at the end of the corridor as the only salvation. "Please open the door. Please "she pleaded with tearful eyes as she repeatedly pressed the bell to Léons apartment. The scene is the fateful fork in both figures, opening the door to open at the same time symbolic of a new world respectively, for the merger of two worlds that should not merge.

When the door finally opens, Mathilda is embedded by a redemptive flood light. It is their salvation in this sensitive moment, yet the salvation from a dreary life as it has ever known. Also noteworthy Léons first act when he gets his disguise as a pig oven mitt from the kitchen to the cheer in shock standing Mathilda. Was the supercooled Italian with the big balding minutes earlier in the corridor of life of adults have the rollers to the inlet of Mathilda are now reversed. Léon, the "brutal killer with the emotional core of a child" it is now that responds while the action is determined by the 12-year-olds who longs for revenge. off

your suggestion, Stanfield and his unit for them, Leon rejects itself off then when Mathilda the necessary business assets ("Five grand a head") on the table. "Revenge is not a good thing, it's better to forget," has the assassin to the girl, from motives in the third act of the Director's Cut are finally clear. In view of the denied service requires Mathilda to be constructed for itself by Léon killer and gives the request with a Shot volley from the windows according to emphasis. Reluctantly, is to the Italians. "Change is not good," then reminds him of his employer and patron Mafia Tony (Danny Aiello), but Leon has been the friendship and Mathilda already "a taste for life," won.

That relationship is the central element of the film. For Léon is Mathilda is a friend, for in his lonely life had been no place. And for the 12-year-old Léon awaited the father figure and protector, to which it projected in its Oedipal stage is their idea of sexuality ("I think I'm kinda falling in love with you "). It would be the first time that someone actually cares about Matilda and provides, apart from her little half-brother, who represented her only anchor in her deceased family. Léon that she, unlike her real father, for not punishing misconduct physically, plays the one in their confidence to the killer, but the other, to provide a measure of independence, which it seems (still) not equal.

Unlike the movie version places the original version cut a greater focus on the relationship between Léon and Mathilda. This eventually takes part in Léons simpler contracts and will he taught at the same time, while another scene again takes up the feelings of Mathilda and the sexual tension between the characters is achieved by a little. Significantly, this scene due to the Laughter sexually prudish American test audiences fell victim to the scissors. It is debatable whether the many, the focus is not on the romantic relationship between Léon and Mathilda legends scenes easily get redundant - so special is the restaurant scene is too long - yet they are essential to capture the essence of Léon .

Although the plot is action-packed and well and just is determined at the beginning as in the finale of this, it Besson succeeds best to integrate comic buffer. Whether subtly the milk ritual by Léon that sounds like a diet tip a mother who died long ago and far too early, the celebrities rates with excellent launched protagonists or the ironic embedding that Mathilda ultimately by the "male" sit-ups by Léon gymnastics program that replaced it never previously indulged her half-sister. Another, albeit threatening connotations loosening found in the most theatrical, but probably just so very effective playing of Gary Oldman's eccentric Stanfield.

It is without question the benefits of the three main characters, which ensure that Léon despite its exaggerated character works so well. Beginning with Jean Reno's wonderfully naive game of the supposedly icy killer with principles ("No women, no kids") and an affinity for film by Gene Kelly, to the debut performance of young Natalie Portman, in view of their screen tests a huge jump in the finished film has made, who could apply for many years as its flagship portfolio, with before Black Swan delivers a similarly strong performance. Not only by the now existing impression would Léon with then also interested Mel Gibson Keanu Reeves believed possible.

for Reno, it was the final collaboration, directed by Besson and probably also the best and most memorable figure of his career. His Léon is a loving yet menacing figure, perfectly nuanced by the native Moroccans. layer "a brutal killer with the emotional core of a child". That Léon merely as filler between Besson Nikita and The Fifth Element arose while the former become the inspiration, the marginal note. What remains is an emotional thriller about two characters who could not be more different and yet they were created for each other, and a tale of two worlds that should not merge, but it did. But as Tony rightly said: "One thing has nothin 'to do with the other".

Strasbourg strengthens right to family life - ECHR condemned Germany

A had 43-year-old Nigerian with a married woman having an affair. This resulted in twins - he has seen his now 5-year-old daughters, but never before. A mother and her husband decided the marriage (the legal father of the children was the fact) and actively pursue the resulting children. Then the couple the biological father refused any contact with his two daughters.
His appeal was dismissed by the District Court initially accepted and set a regular meeting of father and children. In contrast, the mother turned and was in all instances of German law, which made the father the contact impossible.

Today, with the decision "vs. Anayo. Germany" (Application no 20578/07) on Dec 21, 2010, now the European Court of Human Rights that such decisions violate the natural father and the children in their right to family life under Article 8 of the ECHR and condemned the Federal Republic of Germany to pay damages and reimbursement of costs.

The family communities were to protect , even if, as in this case, the father never had the opportunity to build a contact with the children. Because this is not lying to him, who always wanted to take care of his children, but for the mother or the couple, which made him any contact impossible.

As the lawyer of Nigerian, Rainer Schmid previously said, this ruling may have significant "impact on the family concept and the legal status of the natural father" in German legal practice.

The X Files - Season Nine

Your lack of imagination saved our lives.

It is the penultimate episode of a series since 1993 in the U.S. TV ran this and it has not revolutionized, however, does alter. "I've been working this unit for nine years now," says Special Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), "I've investigated nearly 200 cases". series creator Chris Carter and his producers around Vince Gilligan present in Sunshine Days this beautiful moment of a serial short historical background, the much more harmonious and successful failure, as the subsequent series finale The Truth . Nine years and 202 episodes, it was her, was treated for Dana Scully on the side of Special Agent Fox "Spooky" Mulder (David Duchovny). Nine Years later (the seasons 1, 2 and 6) and in the form of eighth and ninth seasons and depths. In the seventh Season crossed The X Files their peak and did not invent itself - at least not soon enough. Too late they realized that they had nothing to tell more or come up with something new left.

The ninth year is a Mulder-free zone. Apart from fragmentary images Duchovny is largely absent, although he was in William the government, but remained far as an actor until the series finale. Nothing Important Happened Today introduces his self-imposed exile, as were the super soldier Knowle Rohrer at (Adam Baldwin) after him. And it remains for the remaining 18 episodes, at least to the extent they are not mythological nature. Scully, however, focuses on the education of her son William and her new job as a medical instructor at Quantico. It is first and foremost Special Agent John Doggett (Robert Patrick) and his partner, Special Agent Monica Reyes (Annabeth Gish), now charged officially with the X-Files that are allowed to put up with Rohrer and Co.. Will undermine their efforts within the office of Deputy Director Alvin Kersh (James Pickens Jr.) and Assistant Director Brad Follmer (Cary Elwes), the ex-boyfriend of Monica Reyes.

The change from six years of alien invasion and the associated syndicate to the super soldier is messy and hard to understand. The fact that the syndicate is not just the handful of men who were eliminated at the end of One Son, you could see in the movie . Thus gave already the seventh season in all sorts of confusion rather haphazard Mulder before last year, the super soldiers peu a peu were introduced. That this work in spite of all the charm Adam Baldwin only moderately as antagonists is reflected in the double episode to start. Even in later episodes, Trust No 1 and the traditional centerpiece Provenance / Providence and William shows, as in previous years, the weakness of the mythological plots. Even William may exercise as the super soldiers no fascination, even as its meaning in William never discussed enough (why Mulder must flee for example, while William can stay in DC?).

the error, the Carter The X Files was committed, the early dissolution of the syndicate or the continuation of the action History according to that resolution. The series would have needed a dividing line, a new face - not just in the ensemble. Because the monster-of-the-Week episodes can still convince, albeit sometimes more and sometimes less. There are consequences such as Lord of the Flies that (the fallen teenager Jackass hype) whether its pop-cultural references and their occupation (in this case: Aaron Paul, Jane Lynch, Samaire Armstrong, Erick Avari) fell. That they are not always just work like their earlier counterparts, is due to unclean in their preparation, but also about the pairing Doggett-Reyes, who have less charm than their predecessors. This applies mainly to Annabeth Gish to the figure itself in a sequence as Audrey Pauley produced little or no sympathy, representing a relative makes her fate here and in Scary Monsters care.

Added to this is that now that Mulder is in place for a get away and the other is now a partner Scully, the characters of Patrick and Gish are pressed into the same template. Thematize episodes as Audrey Pauley , Release and Sunshine Days the romantic feelings between the two, which is specifically denied Doggett. Given how much time for the Mulder-Scully relationship taken was not a very wise move, the ninth season as the previous raise only with other main characters. Anderson that they take in stories as daemonicus or Improbable continue to be the hand, demonstrates even more the fact that it has failed The X Files to evolve into a new, Mulder and Scully-free direction . Will act and the conclusion of the Doggett'schen trauma to his murdered son in Release no less forced as it was when Mulder and his sister in Closure the case.

But though because of this season occurring DTV Quality (Especially on the effects seem to, as shown in Scary Monsters is to have saved), the incredibly ugly new intros and the large number of below average episodes, denied the ninth season is not complete. With Lord of the Flies or Audrey Pauley there are bright spots, which include episodes such as John Doe , Sunshine Days or Scary Monsters . Especially the latter was precipitated by their clever integration of Doggett's character and the return of Special Agent Leyla Harrison (Jolie Jenkins), the surviving X-Files primer. Especially the character of Harrison is a good example of the potential gave away, which is a reinvention of the series could bring. However, the return of Jenkins as a last (re) appearance of Terry O'Quinn is no less beautiful, as was already at least tried to connect in every way with a clear conscience.

how wars to the Lone Gunmen a single adoption in Jump the Shark and a last-time integration in addition to X (Steven Williams), Marita Covarrubias (Lauren Holden), Gibson Praise (Jeff Gulka ), CGB Spender (William B. Davis) and Alex Krycek (Nicholas Lea) in the series finale The Truth . That this feels just like a best of clip show, there is not significant. The strengths of the ninth season are already in the continuing tradition, a sense of future "Losties" have to (besides O'Quinn are Alan Dale, Zuleikha Robinson and Michael Emerson of the lot) and come up with familiar faces as guest stars. Cary Elwes is almost six episodes with cast member, while next to Lucy Lawless and James Remar especially David Faustino ( Sunshine Days ) and Burt Reynolds pleasure. Especially Reynolds, whose appearance as God in Improbable is a pleasure all the more appropriate since this is also the best episode is the ninth season.

She needs before their competitors from previous years not to shy away and, together with 4-D the highlight of last season. With The Truth said finally say goodbye to characters and actors, the one for nine years - have accompanied - and beyond. One has to doubt quarrel and abandon their skepticism, hope and love with each other to see win. There was not a response to all questions, even in the nine years recapitulatory series finale. What became of Armin Mueller-Stahl and the genetic bees in Tunisia, as Mulder, depending on the black Oil and its neurological alien disease away, came through are really what Mulder and Scully during their autopsies had and which way figures like Alan Dale Toothpick Man and Jeff Gulkas Gibson Praise take now would be - the truth then, it would Mulder say, is still out there somewhere.

Videocracy

che Silvio c'è

Menomale.

"Italy is a rotten country," says one, who should know. Fabrizio Corona leads a paparazzi company, so to speak. It can be photographed celebrities and then sold them the pictures so they are not published. An approach that compares with the legendary figure Corona Robin Hood. Remove from the rich, but then it does not give the poor, but instead prefer to keep for themselves. A modern Robin Hood specify by Corona, which is anyway based on entirely different models. For example, in Scarface, but the resplendent portrait of Al Pacino on the wall. "A trace is negative, but people want to be like this" twitches Corona succinctly his shoulders as he smear his banana-shaped member with a skin cream.

Fabrizio Corona is a media enfant terrible in Italy, and sat for three years in prison for extortion 80 days. Then his popularity grew even more, fueled by self-promotion. A trace is negative, but people do it that way. Now he gets 10,000 euros if he was an hour show in a club. Then he sits on a sofa, his arm around the person beside him, looking bored in the digital cameras. "I talk a lot of shit" , he said afterwards on the way home. "The people pay no attention to what I say. The view just the star. " Corona testament to the power that may have pictures of a company. Videokratie we call this a phenomenon that was dedicated to Erik Gandini in one of his documentation.

Gandini, of Swedish and Italian descent characterized Italy in Videocracy as "country, ruled by television" . And in fact the television is used for 80 percent of Italians as the primary information medium. Which suggests again that whoever controls the television, also controls the people. Little wonder that einprasselt has always been a certain amount of criticism on Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who at the beginning ward off this week before a confidence vote in the Senate and House of Representatives had to. With three commercial TV stations, and the state television RAI under his thumb, Berlusconi controls about 90 percent of Italian television. And so 80 percent to 90 percent of his people.

a situation that led to six years ago that the organization "Freedom of the Press," Italy by a free press state as "partly free press" stepped back. In "Reporters Sans Frontières" Italy is in terms of press freedom led ranked 50th Thus, the Italians are still ahead of El Salvador; mounted behind Surinam, Trinidad and Tobago and Cape Verde. It devotes at least proud Berlusconi "50 percent of his time" to "put an internationally credible country" from Italy how Videocracy the Prime Minister cited in one place. Whereas the other 50 percent is probably, can be read about the situation in various tabloids, many of his parties and affairs, to contacts with the Mafia and other stories.

But "people love him," , Gandini white film report. Otherwise it can not even explain that the Prime Minister in is his third term. "Berlusconi is (...) a major leader" , told Italy's most influential TV Agent Lele Mara. It is true that the Prime Minister "not just Mussolini" in the Mara is otherwise a big fan - he even has a fascist video on his cell phone, which he proudly with the words "Pretty, is not it?" in the camera holds - but still a "great personality" . One can assume that Mara and Mr Berlusconi are, by you. Finally, the TV agent "the power to turn ordinary human TV stars' . And the TV star, it seems, is striving to become the most Italians.

"means more fame and more girls" , white Riccardo, a 26-year-old mechanic who dreams of being a mix of Ricky Martin's singing talent and Jean-Claude Van Damme's martial art, the screens (and thus the heart loins of the women to conquer). But Riccardo, who still lives at home and his mother spied him on his appointments, knows that it's hard for men to be on TV. Finally, there are preferably half-naked women, known as Showgirls or "veline. If you believe Riccardo, then do 80 percent are the Italian women velina to subsequently marry a footballer. The absurd thing is that this is indeed the natural process in the Italian TV landscape appears to be.

The veline are primarily used in the news satire show "Striscia la Notizia" are used, are early 20s - one blond, the other brunette - and serve as a scantily clad optical incentives, backed by a 30-second dance, the stracchetto . For the role of a velina in Italy there is a separate casting - for large crowds. For one who velina is or was, can make it far. Former showgirls as Alessia Merz, Giorgia Palmas or Ilary Blasi are romantically involved with footballers. Blasi with national hero Francesco Totti, Melissa Satta again with former international striker Christian Vieri. The have it the veline particularly pleased that his side garnished earlier Elisabetta Canalis, but in the meantime has become the latest bed bunny by George Clooney.

A league above plays the ex-showgirl Mara Carfagna who once worked for Berlusconi's media company Mediaset and employed since 2008 as Minister for Gender Equality is (believe it or not). If you did not it better, we might all this a brilliant sitcom from Hollywood's dream factory with. Looking at it in Videocracy , but it seems more like one big Fremdschämfaktor for an entire nation. A nation that was a Roman Empire in ancient times an unassailable world power, and which now, some fifteen hundred years later, women relegated to half-naked dolls in a society where men still makers are and showgirls are passed as trophies often second-class football player.

Gandini so amusing film's content may be, is scenically Videocracy from a journalistic point of view somewhat amateurish. So just look Mara in each of his scenes treudoof into the camera, as if waiting for a speaking order. A little more information on branched Berlusconischen media landscape and what exactly for this, but also to democracy and opinion formation - and therefore the actual job of the press - ie, one would then integrate already have (the theme "Press Freedom" speaks Gandini in the first credit in a short insertion, without naming the source, an). This Videocracy is from a journalistic point of view but succeeded only partially, as a satire on Italy's media landscape, he maintains, however, well.

sleep for a good cause

Hello everyone! :-)

between the four Christmas in Munich in the last week, where I and others, on E. ON Park Cafe and hww on Nockherberg in use, was still standing on Friday 12/10/2010 the annual Sternstundentag with the Bavarian Radio on the calendar. After I left in 2009 to just that day to my second tour on the AIDAvita in the Caribbean, I was a former BR staff at that time, unfortunately, not come to this World phone. So I took myself as a volunteer for this World 2010 as six hours - and this after only 3 hours sleep! * Yawn * The celebration on the night Nockherberg was spontaneously extended by two hours as the 160 guests were in the best party mood. Red Bull was I thank but wide awake on the trip to Munich. ;-) It is always fascinating to what a high technical complexity of the BR in this fundraiser goes - and free.

Dexter - Season Five

Tic. Tic. Tic. That's the sound of your life running out.

running since 2005, the Showtime series Dexter televised, but only last December, the authors were to be carried away for drama formats usually traditional cliffhanger. At the end of the season brought fourth series (killer) held Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) while his opponent Arthur (John Lithgow) to, but then took home his dead wife, Rita (Julie Benz) and their son Harrison in a pool of blood before. No happy ending, not satisfied a deep breath after twelve grueling episodes. Dexter's world for the fifth year would not be the same, so much was certain. And with the death of one of the central figures, the authors now opened the possibility of its main protagonists in a new direction to steer.

is suddenly feeling the cold serial killer who formed a blended family the only reason to have a social camouflage, relying on feelings. The death of Rita leads Dexter - however much he appreciated his wife also "love" and got - more of a responsibility shock as an emotional slump. Even the neighbor Rita's death mourned more than Dexter, which ultimately also his Colleagues, Detective Quinn (Desmond Harrington) notice that the blood was already on the forensic Kieker. For Dexter, however, it is to think differently, he entrusted the family responsibilities of his wife at night to take down serial killers, but now even responsible for his children (even though Astor and Cody go afterwards to her grandparents) is. ;

And as always when Dexter is suffering from tension, they must be resolved in his murder lust. However, everything else comes after it in one of his murders of lumens (Julia Stiles), one of the victims of Dexter Victims, is observed. Torn between Harry (James Remar) code and its conscience, Dexter finally takes to lumen. Which in turn is only interested in bringing these men to the route, they have abducted, raped and almost killed. Dexter reluctantly offers to help and why not, yet can be lumen of revenge and killing Dexter's desires in this way combine sent. Too bad that push Quinn's research in the best manner Doakes-Dexter in the corner.

In a sense, the fifth season a "Best Of" of the predecessor. Quarrels can Dexter in the first episodes so to convey to the outside world to believe that he is Rita's death occurs, it then with lumen, a woman in his life, in whose presence he like Lila (Jaime Murray) is the way it really , and at the same time - as Miguel (Jimmy Smits) in front of her - becomes his accomplice. In addition, it encourages the cliffhanger scenario Dexter fears that his son could be just as he himself so he would not Dexter Dexter, he would not be developed. A particularly beautiful in this episode is Teenage Wasteland where Dexter went so far as a social man and the father is aged, that Harry himself his own respectively In awareness of praise.

The fact that the series makers pick up on many of these points more likely to start and throw at 50 km of the actual act of aboard, is pardonable. Thus, the resulting outward emotional emptiness will disappear after Rita's death as fast as the concern that Harrison suffered a serious injury. In terms of personality, this personal component of Dexter unquestionably worked out well, but also in the first four episodes - although the kick-off My Bad a resounding - a somewhat lengthy procedure that brings the action to a halt and in the soul Sightseeing loses . As the fifth season by Dexter now makes it special is the fact that then a fireworks is burned.

The fifth episode First Blood takes off, both in terms of action to the revenge of Dexter and lumen, and with respect to Quinn's involvement the corrupt and redundant Cops Liddy (Peter Weller) in his investigation against Dexter. In its second half Dexter wins then such a voltage that one of the good old days of the year reminds debut feels. Dexter's search for the perpetrators of kidnapping eventually lead to lumen Self-help guru Jordan Chase (Johnny Lee Miller) and his bizarre company. And as one of Chase's complicity (which Chris Vance, Scott Grimes and Shawn Hatosy count) makes a mistake, is Dexter's "case" is also a matter for his sister Debra (Jennifer Carpenter).

for Dexter himself, this means that he has his hands full. Because in addition to his father duties to Harrison, he must also keep Quinn from the body and take care of lumen, while he simultaneously tries to get closer to Chase Bank. All these scenarios are so skillfully balanced and at the end of the season increased (the last two episodes Hop a Freighter and The Big One may be regarded as highlights), that even the annoying subplot about the relationship between Batista (David Zayas) and LaGuerta ( Lauren Vélez forgotten) make, as well as compensate for the rather uninterested going to start passing Santa Muerte determination. And of course, is also Masuka (CS Lee) is not too bad for comic relief ensured.

were the whole, the cast with Julia Stiles, Johnny Lee Miller and Peter Weller in the fall of a gift. While Dexter was not directed in a completely new direction, rather old new issues addressed and reformed. And even if you are in the season finale, perhaps one or the other, the series to a new level hievende, Perfecting would have liked, the fifth season of Dexter mood has done and fascinating. That have succeeded in qualitatively to tie almost the first year (only the bumpy start prevented more) for a fifth season is a huge achievement. And one can only wonder what surprises the authors ready next fall for the most popular serial killer of American television landscape.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

In Strange Hold united, John Woo and Chow Yun-fat, Vin Diesel was once again the protagonist in Wheelman . Video games are for Hollywood always interesting to see what can be read as a part of movie adaptations, like Kane & Lynch , on the other hand, always cinematic expectant games like Uncharted 2: Among Thieves or Heavy Rain . For Enslaved: Odyssey to the West could win Namco Bandai Games and Ninja Theory not only Andy Serkis as protagonists and co-director, but also sci-fi author Alex Garland for the Writer. The result is a gameplay of redundant though, yet unquestionably entertaining action adventure. More game you learn in evolver .

Black Swan

The only person standing in your way is you.

The ballet "Swan Lake" by Vladimir Begichev and Vasiliy Geltser tells the story of the Swan Queen Odette, an enchanted princess who can be freed only by the love of her curse. It is based on a fairy tale, how could it be otherwise, you meet these set pieces (As the Beast in La Belle et la Bete or the Grimms' Frog Prince) but through the centuries. That love occurs in "Swan Lake" in the form of Prince Siegfried, but is undermined when the overheard responsible for the curse magician Rotbart the meeting of Siegfried and Odette, and begins to intervene. Rotbart is subsequently as a Baron, creating a doppelganger named Odile for Odette, Siegfried falls then.

composed by Tchaikovsky's ballet of 1875/1876 is one of the best known in his field, the character of the Swan Queen because of their different choreography for Odette and Odile also one of the most challenging and most exhausting roles in classical ballet. A stressful world, therefore, work out in which the performers for entertainment purposes and art physically, what the audience does not always properly assessed. Not unlike the wrestling, which is considered battle-ready, but the authenticity of the drives because many of its representatives to the physical limit. Director Darren Aronofsky dedicated to both worlds and now delivers with Black Swan a counter-proposal to last year's The Wrestler from.

In Center of Black Swan is the young ballet dancer Nina (Natalie Portman) - a dangerous and fragile perfectionist, by her mother and ex-ballerina Erica (Barbara Hershey) is chosen to have the career that Erica once because of her pregnancy has been denied. Both women live in a controlled world, dependent on each other, the mother of the daughter, the daughter of the mother. As in Nina's ballet company, the Prima Ballerina Beth Macintyre (Winona Ryder) is sent by the chief choreographer Thomas (Vincent Cassel) in the professional wilderness, Nina sets everything in the lead role in Thomas' new production obtain from "Swan Lake". Their fear of failure and paranoia make again soon for a mise en abyme.

While the eternal girl Nina dancing the white swan perfect, with its seductive doppelganger Odile, the mentally battered bulimic, however, has problems. It helps even less that Lily (Mila Kunis), a burgeoning sex appeal before extroversion and new to the ballet dancer encounters. With progressive duration of a hand, Nina's position rises within the company, the other as well as their uncertainty. In one scene, stretch and stretch all the ballerinas, while Thomas walks through their ranks and some of them tapping - not just Nina. Their tension jumps nearly from the screen, its subsequent relief when she learns that those auditioning must have not been touched, remains on the other hand almost imperceptibly.

Nina's uncertainty has an impact on their psyche. She feels persecuted, for one of Lily and the other far more prominent of itself The result: a rash on the right shoulder, injuries to the nail bed, weight loss. It was their moment, their chance whispers Thomas its new prima ballerina in a scene in his ear. In another he has her to live a little ("Live a Little"). One advice, which you are later Lily, but follow the Nina can not. When Thomas gives up her to masturbate to relax, the venture fails because of the sudden emergence of Erica. In the lived life to the mother of Nina is no room for your own experiences. Ultimately resulting in two women in irreparable damage to the psyche.

War "Swan Lake" a constantly re-interpretable ballet, it is this also Aronofsky. Said Siegfried plays in Black Swan does not matter, but the film asks what would happen if the Prince of Odile was deceived, but Odette. Accordingly, blurred reinforced for their perceptions of Lily and Nina herself, or her own seductive doppelganger - her black swan. What is true and what is only imagined, including the blurring in the run much rumored sex scene between the two actresses, while perhaps the main character, but not for the audience. For although the Aronofsky's fifth film as a psychological drama and / or ballet ingratiate horror, he can seldom really build tension.

Thus, the film captures the event viewer, there is no history of access to their figures. Lily Sun throughout is a chimera, it is not, however, Thomas fluctuates between calculated and cold-heartedness ass perfectionist or Beth is basically giving away totally. is an understanding of the characters Black Swan entirely on what it probably the most different from The Wrestler, his brother in spirit. Here and there the camera will follow like the main character in the back, giving her hope, only to have them come back shortly to stumble. The failure of Randy the Ram on the transience of his fame (as seen here it is most similar to Beth), Nina threatens to be the load of her mother's expectations to break.

gnawed at his previous job at eating away at Randy's physique, your career opportunities including Nina's psyche. This supposed loss of identity as a mise en abyme is indeed interesting for long stretches, when Nina and Lily as a character counter-concepts to each other - and what Nina also concerned for one another - to be designed. But Aronofsky is lost after the second act too much in the sequence of this psychological game, and in its intensity. Because this is expressed primarily by the use of CGI gimmicks that are not only unnecessary but also turn out to be disturbing. remains grounded by the establishment of the action at the beginning Thus, in the end not much left when Black Swan takes in the third act, the transformation from the psychodrama of the ballet horror.

exalted over all, however the ensemble. As the Swan Queen is the prima ballerina a challenging and demanding role, it degenerates for Natalie Portman to such. More than in Black Swan seldom saw them, so they should have the best chances of winning her second Oscar nomination in February. Play Mila Kunis and Vincent Cassel - the latter equipped with the best lines of dialogue - indeed compelling, but largely unremarkable, yet can find Portman Barbara Hershey stand out particularly. Torn between caring mother and an unstable control freak, the 62-year-old leaves a lasting impression, which could also be recognized by the Academy.

This year Black Swan stormy applause was given at the 67th Venice Film Festival, the place where four years ago Darren Aronofsky's masterpiece, The Fountain was booed. An experience that will hang at the New Yorker to have been torn and wounds seems. Of visual gimmicks, he took his then in The Wrestler who was coming along amazingly straight and consistent. Although at that time was in recognition of the Academy, for his well-acclaimed recent film, she could now stand, however, into the house. The fact that the 41-year-old American on since The Wrestler has leaves, on the other hand are not saying, but both films (thriller elements replace character depth) too similar to make progress visible.

way, Darren Aronofsky and the Swan Queen look like probably more than they believe that if the esteemed by critics last The Wrestler and Black Swan with the seductive doppelganger be equated to Aronofsky's artistic value, ambitious and often underrated predecessor be forgotten. But the real beauty is below the outside sometimes as ugly manner deemed so do Aronofsky's tale pioneer Prince Siegfried same should, by resisting the temptation (soon, he directed the second part of Wolverine franchise) and back to His eternal and true love around. A crucial clue he has given in Black Swan itself: The only person standing in your way is you .
