Pirate Radio (2009)

Last night I enjoyed to watch "The Ship that Rocked" a great movie about a radio station located in a boat anchored in the coasts of britain transmitting Rock and Roll night and day. Some good comedy and adventure with Philip Seymour Hoffman and Bill Nighy, directed by Richard Curtis who is the fellow who made Love actually movie I haven't seen yet but Im told its pretty good.

So, really enjoyable, easy watching.

Rating: **** (Four stars)

H.A.L. 10000 Series in my Fridge?

So, I opened my fridge today, and as you'll see in the pictures, I have to go to the supermarket. The thing, is that the emptiness of the fridge allowed me to see a hidden treasure that lies within. I had seen this before, but never paid attention to it. Until today. What I am about to say is shocking. But, I've found H.A.L. 9000 series' daughter inside my fridge.

Is my fridge now going to poison my food now that I've discovered it's true identity? Are we all Samsung users doomed?

Here is a picture of H.A.L. so that the ones that haven't seen 2001 Space Odyssey can save the whole googling process.

Director Role

The director is in charge of all the creative aspects of a film, as they decide the story line and the visual elements that will be in the movie, from pre production to post production. With the script on hand, its the directors' role to visualise and to get in touch with the producers to start the pre selection of cast and others such as the people in charge of: lights, camera, etc, all through the producers but always taking in consideration the Director's preferences.

There are some directors that are more collaborative than others, for example the Cohen brothers, who are well known for being really nice chaps to work with. On the other hand there's people like Hanke or Hitchcock who are much more precise and authoritarian with their work, as they know exactly what they want and how.

Profiles for 2 Directors (Pre 1960s and Post 1960s)

Sergei M. Eisenstein

An intellectual with an amazing variety of interests, both cultural and artistic, his directing has definitely have left a mark in the history of cinema. He began his career making films for the Soviet Government, which all tough allowed him to make "big" movies, he wasn't allowed to explore his different ideas as the target for this movies was really clear, get people to understand the Russian revolution and the new "government". Frustrated by the restrictions he had in his film making in The USSR, he moves to the US and shoots 30 000 meters of film for "Que Viva Mexico" in 1932, movie which he couldn't finish and was finished in 1979, 31 years after his death.

Although he was quite an artistic kind of guy, he used to be a control freak with every aspect of his movies. The editing, the art, everything. We can find evidence of this by comparing movies such as "Bronenosets Potyomkin " & "Ivan Groznyy I"

Stanley Kubrick
