LINKS
No article links or trailers this week cos I have decided to put up something a bit different this week. so instead fill your boots wi this website full of shorts, full length doco's, trailers and other stuffs and also full versions of Oscar shorts that are available on youtube.
If you read on you will see that i watched the Bret Hart doco and this is where i watched it. www.nfb.ca Great resource as an alternative to the old youtube.
However youtube is good for other things. Like these nominationed short films at this years Oscars which were last week. Including one of the winners. Not bad haul.
China's Unnatural Disaster: The Tears of Sichuan Province (nominee in this years Oscars in the Best documentary, Short Subject catagory) click thru links as parts finish to see all five parts.
Logorama: The winner of the best animated short Oscar. In two parts.
Best Animated Short nominee: French Roast
and also a nominee: Granny O'Grimm's Sleeping Beauty
another best animation short nom: The lady and the Reaper
and finally a nominee for best live action short film: Miracle Fish
ON RUUD'S TV THIS PAST WEEK
Sahara (2005, Breck Eisner, US)
Noi the Albino (2003, Dagur Kari, Ice)
Volver (2006, Pedro Almodovar, Esp)
Hitman Hart: Wrestling With Shadows (1998, Paul Jay, Cdn)
Frost/Nixon (2009, Ron Howard, US)
Penelope Cruz double bill after I fell in love at the Oscars. One is her enjoyable romp in the Indiana Jones type affair Sahara which has another favourite of mine Matthew Maconoghey in it and speaking Spanish and having folk talk about her cleavage in Volver which is the first Almodovar film i have seen in years. Was pretty good. Noi the Albino was also a first for me as i am almost certain its my first foray into Icelandic cinema, was pretty good, nicely shot i should add. Wrestling with Shadows was excellent and the the last twenty minutes in particular were fan bloody tastic. even now 12 years later. Read his autobiography late last year and looked forward to seeing this doco. Wasnt disappointed. Frost/Nixon I enjoyed immensely, it really doesnt have much of a ending though but its really rather goo. I remember i think, reading reviews positing it as a sort of sports moive with no sport. That came across to me. Frank Langella was really good in it.
