it’s upsetting given besson’s time and investment here, and he deserves credit for being audacious and getting his vision made outside the studio system. besson was always in front of the film promoting it, showing off concept drawings to the fanboy press two years ago here at comic - con, returning again to san diego last year, flying back to the states with star cara delevingne for cinemacon in march to talk up the film to exhibitors; the director never mailed in promoting this film .

unsurprisingly, chinatown has also had a vivid life in motion pictures, making early appearances in detective fare like torchy blane in chinatown (1939) and the musical on the town (1949) – in which it is treated as an essential element of the modern city – prior to its current status as a mainstay of chase scenes and dining room set pieces (recall seinfeld ’s famous “ cartwright! ” gag). and then there are the films in which it is allowed to be more than a shorthand for nyc diversity and displays its real - life locations and culture. below are our choice of films that show off chinatown in all its rush - hour hubbub and streetlit vivacity .
one film financier pointed out to deadline that valerian ‘s reported $ 205m production cost was far too high when it came to starting a new franchise. breaking down the film’s financing structure is akin to a calculus project, but there’s no upside here for anyone. stxfilms has a distribution fee that’s close to 10% per sources and $ 5m invested in the film. p & a was largely handled by europacorp because of a lot this — the presence at the comic - cons, a one sheet, the first trailer — was overseen by europacorp when it as at red. they were always on the hook for the bulk of the $ 60m domestic p & a, i hear. overseas, each foreign territory handling distribution is on the hook for p & a. lionsgate has valerian in the uk and domestic home entertainment .

after chinatown and throughout the 1980s big action blockbusters such as top gun, and teen dramas like the breakfast club were the films of choice for millions of american cinemagoers. even directors such as martin scorsese and francis ford coppola renowned for their crime classics of the 70s turned their attention to different subject matter throughout the 80s. it was not until the 90s that the crime film had something of a renaissance, with goodfellas, carlito’s way and casino sitting alongside l. a. set classics such as boyz in the hood, reservoir dogs and pulp fiction. among these great works were two l. a. set films which proved to be the high points of this renaissance .

los angeles has long been the setting for some of american cinema’s most iconic films. with its ethnically and agriculturally diverse landscape, the home of hollywood has provided inspiration to generations of filmmakers. since its 1940s golden age, which produced film - noir classics such as double indemnity (1944), the big sleep (1946), starring humphrey bogart and lauren bacall, and james cagney’s white heat (1949), the los angeles set crime thriller has enthralled american cinemagoers. from the classic film - noir of the 40s to the slick existential pieces of today, los angeles has provided a unique backdrop to the brooding romantics, the car chases, the gun fights and daring heists that have immortalised so many of our favourite films. what is it though about these l. a. stories that set them apart? what is it that makes los angeles such a unique setting for so many cinematic masterpieces ?
we’ve seen other zany sci - fi work before at the b. o. , read 2009’s avatar (which wasn’t based on specific source material) and marvel’s guardians of the galaxy. avatar was a feat never seen before (it even inspired besson to make valerian) from james cameron, director of the then - highest - grossing film of all time (titanic) who had been absent for 12 years from feature - length fictional filmmaking. with gunn’s dazzling visuals, a machine - gun - toting raccoon, a big old tree and blue and green people, guardians possessed a lot of heart which grounded its dramatic sensibilities with the masses. it also carried the marvel brand, a quality good housekeeping seal to moviegoers .

this is not just a funny comedy, but also a well - made film with great quality. the actions, funny scenes, dialogues were orchestrated in such a great way that it drew every second of my attention. wang baoqiang did a great job in playing a character that is both silly and witty, wild and cowardly, someone you want to slap in the face but also give a dollar out of pity. i usually justify things in a quantitative way. and here is the math: the average driving speed of the vehicles in the movie is about 20% of the avg. driving speed in 007 spectre; but the car chase scenes are five times more intense with the cars looking way faster that those in 007 spectre. my opinion might be biased since i was able to
fully
understand the movie with my full chinese proficiency, and i also thought spectre was the worst 007 movie which totally wasted two hours of my life. anyway, i thought this movie was a job well done .

unfortunately, many could see this one coming like an asteroid hurtling toward earth. while besson tried to rip a page out of james gunn’s soundtrack book by marrying a classic pop tune (the beatles’ “because”) with the eye - popping sci - fi glamour on - screen in the first trailer, rival studio marketing chiefs found it too manic in its alien - human drama, and the title was over the top (“city of a thousand planets…what does that even mean? ! ” remarked one to deadline) .

after the 1940s heyday the film - noir crime thrillers made popular by the likes of john huston and billy wilder were eclipsed by the big budget sand and sword epics, spaghetti westerns and spy thrillers of the 50s and 60s technicolor age. it was not until the 70s that the crime thriller really captured imaginations once again, though it was new york city that provided much of the inspiration for these crime classics, such as t he french connection (1971), the godfather (1972) and dog day afternoon (1973). there was however an exception, heavily inspired by the writings of raymond chandler, that encapsulated the film - noir of the 40s and was steeped in the history of america’s second largest city .

jack nicholson is simply phenomenal. yes, i will give credit where it is due and congratulate greg kinnear, helen hunt, and cuba gooding, jr, on their fine performances. they are talented. but i am mesmorized by jack' s intricate facial expressions and inflection each time i see this movie. critics panned this movie for being totally unbelievable. i would have to agree - why would carol fall for melvin? why does melvin change his ways after so many years of acid - tongued insults? i don' t know. i know people who disliked the film because melvin was such a you - know - what. personally, i love the evil retorts he hurls at any innocent bystander. maybe it' s a sick pleasure, but nicholson' s delivery is perfect and i couldn' t help but laugh as he takes on everyone .
