With a trip-hop bass line thumping throughout, and color-saturated, blurred-out, overproduced street cinematography matching the cool beats, BOMB THE SYSTEM plays like a feature-length music video. A cyclical story of New York City graffiti artists coming up on the streets, running from corrupt cops, and eventually meeting a grim fate, BOMB THE SYSTEM finds its inspiration in style, not in a feel-good fairy tale. If anything, the story shows how the lifestyle of the artists is bittersweet. They bounce from parties to clubs to back alleyways, making love and taking drugs, enjoying their freedom but lacking hope for the future. "Blest" is what the young protagonist, Anthony (Mark Webber), writes when he goes out to paint the town with his crew. And so he seems, when he falls in love with a beautiful girl (Jaclyn Desantis) and is accepted to an art school in California. But when trouble comes, he must decide if he can break his ties to this underground world of graffiti art in pursuit of a more promising life, or if he's already in too deep. Adam Bhala Lough makes his debut at 23 years of age, writing and directing this aesthetic ode to urban youth culture. Bomb the System Reviews: "[The] hot little melodrama BOMB THE SYSTEM visually rhapsodizes the lives of contemporary graffiti artists in a rich, bleeding-at-midnight palette that blurs the line between film and the illegal public art practiced by its young, alienated characters."-- Stephen Holden, New York Times 3 stars out of 5 -- "With strong whiffs of TRAINSPOTTING and KIDS, BOMB THE SYSTEM distinguishes itself with streaky, Krylon-bright editing and El-P's eerie soundtrack beats."
-- Peter Relic, Rolling Stone

AMERICAN GRAFFITI presents a powerful collage of youth on the brink of maturity just before the assassination of J.F.K.. Based on George Lucas's own teenage hot-rodding days in Modesto, California, this brilliant, bittersweet comedy inspired numerous other productions, including the long-running TV series HAPPY DAYS. Lucas's second feature film (following THX 1138), AMERICAN GRAFFITI contains an early screen appearance by Harrison Ford, who would figure heavily in the director's next movie, the sci-fi epic STAR WARS. The film follows one night in the lives of several recently graduated high school students. The genial Steve (Ron Howard) prepares to leave for college the next day, and Laurie (Cindy Williams), his girlfriend, is upset by his impending departure. Laurie's brother, Curt (Richard Dreyfuss), the class intellectual, is also slated for college, but he has serious doubts about his ...

Bomb the System review
Serge (Stephane Rideau), a French truck driver making deliveries for a clothing manufacturer in Morocco, visits his girlfriend Sarah (Lubna Azabal) and his friend Saïd (Mohamed Hamaïdi) when he makes stops in Tangier. LOIN, from French director André Téchiné, examines the relationships between these three very independent twentysomethings, showing how their various desires in life conflict because of citizenship, employment, class differences, as well as personal outlook. Serge, whose job--driving a big truck on the open road, constantly traveling from place to place, living as an adventurer--is coveted by Saïd, does not realize his importance to his employer, his friends, or to Sarah. He roams and makes bad decisions, as if he doesn't care. Sarah, who owns and operates a local hostel, has caring friends and a comfortable life that comes into direct contrast with that of Serge. Yet they are drawn to each other as she hopes for something more exciting than day-to-day life in Algiers, and Serge longs for stability and direction. Saïd is perhaps the most complex of the trio, a recluse who works part time in Sarah's hostel and dreams of escaping Algiers for Spain. Having attempted his illegal immigration many times with dire consequences, he is convinced that Serge is his way out and his salvation. Sarah is the pawn he must play with Serge if he wants to achieve his dream.
Chaos and motion are the primary focuses of each scene of LOIN, establishing Techine's ...

"No, no. No fat women," complains Parisian doctor Michel des Assantes (Michel Piccoli), as he stares into a virtual reality viewer and sits back in a chair, while a naked woman busily moves her head up and down in his lap. Spanish director Luis García Berlanga may have been eighty years old when he filmed PARIS-TIMBUKTU, but he remains as irreverent as ever. The unfortunate Des Assantes remains unsatisfied and, instantly, decides to give up everything. He is foiled when he attempts suicide from a balcony. So instead, he abandons his patients, his nurse, and his wife, climbs onto ...

In 1956, Albert Lamorisse made THE RED BALLOON, a short in which a young boy, played by his son, makes friends with a red balloon. Some 50 years later, Taiwanese auteur Hou Hsiao Hsien has made his first French-language film, the charming and subtle FLIGHT OF THE RED BALLOON, commissioned by the Musée d'Orsay and inspired by Lamorisse's children's classic. A blonde Juliette Binoche stars as Suzanne, a single mother living in Paris, doing her best to raise her seven-year-old son, Simon (Simon Iteanu), while preparing her latest puppet show, based on the Yuan Dynasty story of Zhang Yu and his beloved, Qiong Lian. Suzanne hires Song (Song Fang), a Taiwanese film student, to come to Paris to take care of Simon. Song goes everywhere with her camera, filming everything she sees. Meanwhile, Simon is being followed by a red balloon that has grown attached to the boy. The balloon, which seems to have its own personality, hovers over the boy and his family as Suzanne struggles with her daily life, fighting with tenants who owe back rent, moving a piano, and getting ready for the puppet show. Hou, the director of such widely acclaimed films as THE PUPPETMASTER, FLOWERS OF SHANGHAI, and CAFE LUMIERE, has created a touching, beautiful film in FLIGHT OF THE RED BALLOON, which opened the 2007 Cannes Film Festival and was also selected for that year's New York Film Festival. Not only does the balloon serve as a character unto itself but so does the city of Paris as Song and Simon walk through the streets and ride the train. All the dialogue in the film is improvised, shot in long takes by cinematographer Mark Lee Ping Bing; Hou provided each of the ...

In THE HAPPENING, M. Night Shyamalan serves up over-the-top, apocalyptic strangeness. The film opens onto New York City's Central Park with a crowd of people enjoying an idyllic summer day. The carefree scene soon takes a terrifying turn, when out of nowhere, hordes of people begin to commit suicide en masse. People scramble to make sense of the pandemonium, and many believe it is a terrorist attack. It appears that some sort of deadly toxin is being released into the air. Cut to Elliot (Mark Wahlberg) a science teacher in Philadelphia. When he learns of the attack on New York, he meets up with his wife Alma (Zooey Deschanel), his friend Julian (John Leguizamo), and Julians's daughter, Jess (Ashlyn Sanchez). They make plans to get out of the city via train, but the train is evacuated in the middle of a small Pennsylvania town. When they learn that the mysterious toxin is spreading its way across the Northeast, they break up into groups, with Elliot, Alma, and Jess running through open farmland in search of safety. They are unsure of where to hide, or what exactly they are hiding from, until Elliot slowly forms a theory about the threat. He fights to keep Alma and Jess free from harm, and the film builds to a bizarre, unsettling climax, with Shyamalan's usual surprise ending.
Shyamalan's premise of escaping ...
