this is a perfect family film. villains, good guys (or dogs) and lots of talking animals. what more could you ask for in a family film? the main character is a beautiful beagle, who i just loved to see strutting around with his lovely little baggy face. as it' s for families or children, it is only a short film, and not very heavy on story, but regardless it is very nice and a very positive film to watch. it helps to bring the family together, both on set, and at home .

mr. larraín’s attention to historical detail — the kind of sweaters worn by people on the left, the slang, the fearful atmosphere, his innovative use of archival footage — is a reason he won the top prize at the directors’ fortnight at the cannes film festival in may. but at home the film’s reception has been more mixed, with leaders of the real - life no campaign protesting that the film gets several big facts wrong and fundamentally distorts others .

the underdog musician movie will never be as prolific as, say, the underdog sports flick, but if done right, the inspirational impact of the former might be enough to spur a regular visitor to the local karaoke bar to aspire to bigger and better things. the best examples in recent years include the 2013 coen brothers drama inside llewyn davis and the 2016 irish charmer sing street. it helps when the soundtrack is memorable, too .
“here larraín shows his more conservative profile, ” matías sánchez wrote in the magazine el ciudadano. the film, he added, reflects “the crisis of identity of pablo larraín himself, who debates between advertising and film, between right and left, between being an aristocrat in chile and a political filmmaker abroad. ”

in the case of “no” the issue is further blurred by mr. larraín’s use of documentary footage, shot in 1988, which he estimated amounts to about 30 percent of the film. the rest of “no, ” the fictional component, was shot in the same style to give the film a uniform, coherent look, thus merging reality and fiction .
describing the film as a fable, he added that “it manages to grab hold of two or three elements that show the nature of what was at stake at that time. ”
jasper creates a gritty sense of place, and even though patti cake $ has rather specific characters and subject matter, anyone can relate to the messages about being true to who you are and working hard to go after your dreams. patti cake $ premiered in january at the sundance film festival to a warm reception. fox searchlight will release the film friday .
few of us have time to play test audience for every obscure new film. so mostly we buy into the industry’s “high concept” formulas, which usually involve brad pitt, tom cruise or julia roberts, babes in skimpy clothing, rock stars and tv personalities, endless sequels and prequels – everything that’s safe. tinseltown’s publicity machine fools you with its fat budgets for 76 - point - type full - page newspaper ads that make a routine new film look like a mass social movement. i especially resent it when the action figures, stuffed animals and school lunch boxes celebrating a “blockbuster” movie are shipped to stores even before the “hit” film is released. point is, there are rewards to thinking for yourself when choosing film fare .
it’s good to see the filmmaker is moving forward into new territory after a pair of depressingly dark thrillers, ugly and raman raghav 2. 0, and a salute to martin scorsese and the american gangster film in bombay velvet. though the basic plot about a despised underdog who, against overwhelming odds, grits his teeth and trains for the big match could hardly be less cliched, its cinematic level of invention makes sure that much more is going on .
the scrappiest of the nine films nominated for a best picture oscar on thursday cost just $ 4 million to make - a speck on a hollywood studio spreadsheet - and 25 days to film .
the idea of foosball players coming to life to help a kid save his village and the girl of his dreams sounds pretty silly, but it’s hard to turn down a movie with ariana grande, nicholas hoult, matthew morrison, katie holmes, john leguizamo, eugenio derbez, taran killam, bobby moynihan and chazz palminteri attached to voice the characters. plus, the film did win the grand prize award for a feature film at the new york international children’s film festival, so perhaps i’m being too quick to judge. (although i do find grande’s speaking voice quite grating. )
after an accident in the mysterious lab of maniacal scientist dr. simon barsinister (peter dinklage), an ordinary beagle unexpectedly finds himself with unimaginable powers and the ability to speak. armed with a fetching superhero costume, underdog (voiced by comedian jason lee) vows to protect the beleaguered citizens of capitol city and, in particular, one beautiful spaniel named polly purebread (voiced by academy awardâ® nominee amy adams). when a sinister plot by barsinister and his overgrown henchman cad (patrick warburton) threatens to destroy capitol city only underdog can save the day .

this song has the distinction of being a major hit in its own right prior to its association with an' 80s film, but there' s no doubt it reached an entirely new plane with its inclusion in cameron crowe' s 1989 teen romance say anything. crowe has sometimes been frustratingly guilty of overly self - indulgent filmmaking, but the image of john cusack holding a boom box to project this song to ione skye will probably always remain one of the best marriages of pop music and film of all time. the film' s soundtrack otherwise is not too shabby either, unsurprisingly .
1985' s john hughes classic persists as one of the most beloved teen films of the' 80s, but its use of music on the film' s soundtrack, particularly this song employed as the main theme, really showed how vibrantly and memorable music and film could be used together. the song became a huge hit, but it' s likely that it would have never reached the heights it did without its ties to the film, both through repeated appearances on the soundtrack and, of course, during judd nelson' s fist - pumping walk across the football field as the credits roll .
canine adventure based on the popular animated tv series. after an accident in the mysterious lab of mad scientist dr. simon barsinister (peter dinklage), an ordinary beagle named shoeshine (voice of jason lee) finds himself with extraordinary powers, and the ability to talk. armed with a fetching superhero costume, underdog vows to protect the beleaguered citizens of capital city and, in particular, a beautiful spaniel named polly purebred (voice of amy adams). when a diabolical plot by barsinister and his overgrown henchman cad (patrick warburton) threatens to destroy capital city, only underdog can save the day .
mr. smith also introduced a darker tone to capra’s work that grew with meet john doe, a troubled and troubling film replete with demagogues, an irresponsible press and crowds that are easily turned into angry mobs. the film’s climax represented a narrative and ideological impasse for the director’s mix of populism and individualism. the experience ended the partnership between capra and robert riskin, the screenwriter who had been his most important collaborator since 1931 .
loosely based on the 1960s us cartoon of the same name, this innocuous live - action disney movie stars a cute beagle pup (voiced by jason lee) who becomes a reluctant crime - fighter after a laboratory explosion gives him super powers. going heavy on the cgi, it sets up some cartoonish thrills as underdog talks, flies and flexes his super - muscles in pursuit of evil scientist peter dinklage. while the canny canine dominates the proceedings, the human cast includes insipid alex neuberger, who blends into the scenery as underdog' s adolescent master, and james belushi, who sleepwalks through an un - taxing role as the unbelieving father. five - year - olds will doubtless appreciate the silliness as underdog tries out a variety of home - made superhero costumes, chases
cat
burglars and creates bad rhyming couplets; long - suffering adults may wish someone had kept this talking - dog movie on a tighter leash .
thurber seems oblivious to the hypocrisy of mocking our image - conscious society while simultaneously making fun of the film’s oddball loser characters. to pad out his less - than - one - joke film, the director employs a grab bag of celebrity walk - ons, and it’s surprising to find that one—a late - inning pep talk about not quitting from a certain cancer - free tour de france winner—actually has something to do with the film’s never - say - die message. still, there’s no dodging the fact that stooping to random cameos by david hasselhoff, william shatner, and chuck norris for worthless non sequiturs is the filmmaking equivalent of a comedic forfeit .
rounding out the the voice cast of juan jose campanella' s film are john leguizamo, mexican star eugenio derbez, taran killiam, saturday night live' s bobby moynihan and rizzoli & isles' s chazz palminteri .
“all of that was obviously a big component, and it’s true it is not part of the film at all, ” mr. vivanco added. “but i went to see a movie, not a pbs piece. ”
why this mania to film kaufman and hart’s play? because it was a laugh riot? a pulitzer prize play? of course. but i also saw something deeper, something greater. hidden in you can’t take it with you was a golden opportunity to dramatize love thy neighbor in living drama. what the world’s churches were preaching to apathetic congregations, my universal language of film might say more entertainingly to movie audiences [... ] .
a small police dog (voiced by jason lee) ridiculed for his terrible sense of smell is captured by the mad scientist simon bar sinister (peter dinklage) and his dimwitted henchman cad lackey (patrick warburton) to make experiments on. these grant the dog superpowers and it escapes. he is found by retired cop dan unger (jim belushi) and his teenage son jack (alex neuberger) and given the name shoeshine. jack discovers shoeshine' s secret when the dog starts talking to him and convinces him to become a superhero under the name underdog. but bar sinister is looking for underdog to try to gain the powers for himself .
reed albergotti (wall street journal) is calling the film' miracle meets moneyball' describing the behind - the - scenes experience of four underdog women cyclists who become america' s hope for a medal at the 2012 london olympics after the men' s team is banned during the lance armstrong drug scandal. the underfunded women turn to volunteers, including their husbands and an innovative approach using' data not doping' in an attempt to do the impossible; win the first u. s. women' s track cycling medal in over 20 years .
its not one of the best films ive seen but its entertaining and stays faithful to the original show somewhat. jason lee does a good job as underdog, but the other actors aren' t very good or as entertaining except for patrick warburton as the dumb right hand man to simon bart sinister, its such a stupid character but the jokes are so forced with this character that it is funny. i' ll say it is definitely not a good film for the regular male adult or teenage demographic, but if you have a little girl, its okay .
' 80s music, in general, had a propensity for soaring choruses and anthemic bombast, but when combined with great visuals and an inspiring narrative, a song like this one from the soundtrack to the film of the same name proved that there was basically no limit for uplift in movie themes. whether it was actually jennifer beals (or not) flying through the air in a leotard, this song never would have been the staple of aerobics classes that it became if not for its perfect marriage of adrian lyne' s welder - dancer underdog story, from 1983 .
for its soundtrack, “manna” boldly falls back on comfortable lounge standbys such as irving berlin’s “blue skies, ” rather than contemporary hip - hop or techno music. there are further good deeds. the film was shot in the underdog city of buffalo, n. y. , where the sisters spent their formative years, and which struggles against economic stagnation. because it was made in that depressed part of his state, new york sen. charles schumer is championing “manna, ” and other members of congress got a screening. also, some proceeds benefit habitat for humanity .
underdog sports movies are a pure form of storytelling—your characters have a strong goal, a clear arc, and the conflict of the narrative is quite literally a conflict. people are primed to root for underdogs already—its in our dna—so follow these simple steps and the story will tell itself and engage the audience without you having to break a sweat .
missing mom: it' s mentioned once by jack that she passed away before the events of the film. a picture frame featuring him, his dad, and a woman who can presumably be said mother appears a few minutes before .

this film provides good family entertainment for all dog lovers. it is well suited to children who love both super heroes and dogs. my grandson loves it as do i and it will be watched many times. well worth the price .
at the city hall, barsinister takes the mayor hostage and instructs cad to attach a bomb rigged with a mind control serum to the roof; molly and polly follow cad. shoeshine smells the bomb and, conquering his self - doubt, enters the building despite having lost his powers. during a scuffle with barsinister, shoeshine accidentally rips open barsinister' s pocket and swallows a super pill, restoring his powers. shoeshine temporarily incapacitates the german shepherds after he hears molly and polly cry for help, but barsinister eats a pill and distracts shoeshine by tossing a shield like a frisbee. when the german shepherds recover, shoeshine convinces them to turn on barsinister, who has not treated them well. while they restrain barsinister, underdog shows up at the bomb location, removes the mind - control serum from the bomb, and the bomb itself, saving molly and polly, who take the mind - control serum to the police. dan arrives and injects barsinister with the antidote, and shoeshine, dressed now as underdog, buries the bomb in a tunnel at the park as it explodes. underdog tries to escape, but is caught in the explosion, launched into space, and thought dead, but a mournful crowd is overjoyed when he revives. dan is reinstated as a police officer, barsinister and cad are arrested, and shoeshine returns to protecting capital city as underdog .

jasper: i love underdog stories and i love over - the - hill stories. the wrestler (2008) is one of my favorite films of all time. it was a huge influence on the way that we shot this. the wrestler also takes place in jersey, and there’s a lot of stringy blonde hair in every shot (he laughs) .

along with exciting, densely packed visuals shot by four cinematographers, the music track is one of the film’s main assets: loud, pounding, mocking and controlling. the songs that briefly interrupt the action remind the audience that kashyap still has strong ties to bollywood esthetics .
credit 1982' s for introducing the great new wave of peter case and the plimsouls to a wider audience. the group made highly accessible pop / rock that somehow never got the attention it deserved in pop music circles. strangely enough, it took a small cult film soundtrack like this to give the song a sort of immortality that reaches well beyond the rather novelty feel of much of the music from the film .
johnny are you queer ?
is an' 80s classic in its own right, but it lacks the permanence of this tune .
well, there are actually hundreds of film and tv genres, criss - crossing fiction genres and maybe a few music genres as well. obviously it would take a book to go into all the various types in detail, so i’ll focus on just a few less obscure ones .
sadly i wouldn' t bet on it being much of a player at the oscars or the general year - end awards race. that' s not a knock on the film' s quality, but it' s simply too small to do battle with the likes of 12 years a slave, gravity, or the upcoming saving mr. banks and american hustle. barring a stunning show at the domestic box office, the real hope for this film lies in its international release, which oddly doesn' t begin until next year. 20th century fox is slowly releasing the film all over the world starting in january of 2014, positioning its domestic release this year purely on the off - chance that it can snag oscar glory. as such, the box office story of the book thief will not be written for quite some time .
“that’s not the way that it happens, ” mr. arriagada said of the process depicted in the film. “if it were, it would be great, and we would open offices in washington or new york and overthrow dictators everywhere. this is too good to be true. ”
this film is the feature debut of short film maker ronnie sandahl and is about 23 - year - old
dino
( bianca kronlöf) dreams of a different life. like an abundance of swedes her age, she has fled the mass unemployment of her home country sweden in search of a more promising future in rich oslo in the neighboring country norway. but she finds herself stuck in a destructive loop of temporary jobs through a recruitment bureau, money trouble, life in a tiresome collective with hard partying. some coincidence changes her situation drastically when she gets a job as a housemaid watching out for a young girl. underdog is both raw and tender, and also realistic as well as funny - showing a hard every day life of many swedes in norway. just as it probably is for many in the same situation across the globe, due to the large youth unemployment in many countries today, where youths have become neighboring countries' servants in restaurants and private homes, a few years after being equals. the story is both typical and not. it keeps your interest, and is well played. we understand there are underlying problems, which slowly are revealed. the kind of baggage people have, and which is slowly unraveled. young talent bianca kronlöf is doing a great job in the role av dino, easily matches way more experienced henrik rafaelsen, and it' s no wonder this film has become quite critically acclaimed, and has won a bunch of film festival prizes. the film gives many reasons for reflections, as well as really make you think about how we really treat each other, and abruptly accepts changing situations like this, where we accept both rapid changes in social differences as well as start treating people in a quite appalling way, when it comes to rich and poor. well worth a watch .
you can’t just tell us who’s the underdog—you have to show us. we need to see the bumbling and the fumbling and how poorly the team works together, and that often means including an epic fail moment early on in the script. if it’s the story of a natural - born talent, we need to see why they’re not living up to their potential, whether it’s addiction or shady circumstances and characters holding them back .
t’s hardly glory that’s at stake, just an uptick in self - respect from ground zero, and a couple of grand. this is the ceiling jawbone sets itself – a cramping of ambition that’s oddly admirable, even when the film’s tone can come across as excessively stygian, lacking light and contrast .
a film that expressed its love for the homeless and the loveless; for her whose cross is heavy and him whose touch is ashes … i wanted to shout, ‘you are the salt of the earth. and it’s a wonderful life is my memorial to you! ’ print courtesy of paramount pictures .
macdonald: i’m doing a film called dumplin ‘ based on a young adult novel of the same name which i start production on in a couple weeks. i have another project i’m working on called skin and another called white girl problems. it’s going to be a busy year; i’m excited for it .
like the main protagonists b - rabbit (eminem) in 2002' s 8 mile and djay (terrence howard) in 2005' s hustle & flow, it' s easy to root for patti because of the untapped talent she possesses and passion she has for the genre. macdonald' s convincing performance as a rap artist (she' s far from it in real life) is impressive and effortless. the crowd - pleasing narrative, however, doesn' t raise itself above the clichés of other underdog pictures that have come before it. it' s a tough assignment for any coming - of - age film like this to find a unique angle to take, but very few of the themes that patti cake $ tackles feel substantial .
brian percival' s the book thief is the kind of would - be family film that is all - but extinct. in the era before the four - quadrant blockbuster, a film like the book thief would have been somewhat more commonplace, back when there was a dividing line between
kid films
and
adult films
. the book thief is a very good version of what it attempts to be, expertly telling an adult story through a child' s eyes. it is technically about life in world war ii - era germany, but it is told from the point - of - view of regular people in germany who struggled to go about their lives while a great evil took over their country and led them into war. it is not the first film to show a young child coming - of - age during wartime, but it is among the better ones that we' ve seen in quite awhile .
just shows what great films you can miss at certain times of your life. this was released when my children were teenagers and not interested in such films, i missed it completely, just happened to find it while looking at entertainment for my grandsons, they love it. especially the 4 year old, he runs around for days rescuing people and shouting
never fear underdog is here
, and loves to speak in rhyme now! !
and this is just the first part of the film, which ranges over shravan' s training, indian style, many run - ins with the law and examples of gross injustice. it may seem surprising that each new obstacle the authorities throw up to stop him from being a contender is met by the protagonist with more resignation than anger. and there is a lot of injustice. for instance, his opponents are bursting with steroids they don’t bother to conceal, while his muscles are the hard - won type earned with nonstop exercise like swimming the ganges. what the dastardly das cooks up for sunaina tips the film into melodrama .
asked last month for his formulation mr. garcía bernal used somewhat different language. “the film is definitely faithful to the nature of the true events, true to their sentiment, ” he said. “i think that’s what you can say. of course there are also many more details that you can’t be sure about. ”
the central character and hero of “no, ” which opens in limited release on friday, is the fictional rené saavedra, a hip young advertising executive recently returned from exile in mexico, played by gael garcía bernal. hired to produce the ad campaign for the underdog no side, saavedra faces resistance from stodgily doctrinaire politicians on the left, but he creates a hopeful rainbow logo and a slogan, “chile, happiness is on its way, ” that turn the tide .
i left the lincoln memorial with this growing conviction about our film: the more uncertain are the people of the world, the more their hard - won freedoms are scattered and lost in the winds of chance, the more they need a ringing statement of america’s democratic ideals. the soul of our film would be anchored in lincoln. our jefferson smith would be a young abe lincoln, tailored to the rail - splitter’s simplicity, compassion, ideals, humor, and unswerving moral courage under pressure. and back we went to hollywood to get to work on mr. smith goes to washington. the panic was over. it is never untimely to yank the rope of freedom’s bell.
