  • 40 Anni Vergine (2005) Leggero E Spesso Divertente, Un Film Una Spanna Sopra Altri Film Di Genere
    40 anni vergine (2005) Leggero e spesso divertente, un film una spanna sopra altri film di genere. Un film di Judd Apatow con Steve Carell, Catherine Keener, Paul Rudd, Romany Malco, Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann, Elizabeth Banks, Elizabeth DeCicco, Kat Dennings, Marika Dominczyk. Genere Commedia durata 116 minuti. Produzione USA 2005. Uscita nelle sale: venerdì 13 gennaio 2006 Andy Stitzer a 40 anni ha perso diverse ragazze, ma c'è una cosa che probabilmente non perderà mai: la verginità. Finché i suoi amici non se ne accorgono. Un film che vi toccherà dove non vi hanno mai toccato! Andrea Chirichelli - www.mymovies.it Andy Stitzer ha un lavoro sicuro in un negozio di elettronica e una notevole collezione di action figure, ma ha un "problema": a quarant'anni è ancora vergine. Quando i suoi colleghi lo scoprono, faranno di tutto per portarlo al fatidico obiettivo...Se il flano di lancio dimostra una volgarità gratuita di matrice interamente italiana (Più aspetti, più sarà duro), 40 anni vergine, pur concendosi più di una scena non propriamente da educande, riesce a mostrare in modo divertente e divertito il classico problema che nessuno vorrebbe mai ammettere. Se la comicità è spesso di grana grossa, alcuni elementi del film, come la caratterizzazione del luogo di lavoro e dei compagni/amici del protagonista, la bella presenza di una invecchiata ma sempre affascinante Catherine Keener ed alcune "riflessioni" indovinate, innalzano 40 anni vergine una spanna sopra altri film del genere.Leggero e spesso divertente, 40 anni vergine, non lascia nulla se non una risata a denti stretti ed il perenne ricordo, almeno per la maggioranza della popolazione maschile under 40, della casa dei propri sogni (ovvero quella del protagonista...vedere per credere!).

    2006-05-23 15:00 CEST MTV Movie Awards: Jessica Alba vinner sexigaste skådespelaren Torsdagen den 8 Juni är det åter dags för en av årets höjdpunkter i filmvärlden MTV Movie Awards med presentatörer som Jessica Simpson, Collin Farrel, Keven Spacey och Samuel L.Jackson. Det blir en stor filmfest där eliten i film och musikvärlden samlas för att utse vinnarna av årets gyllene popcorn. MTV galan har utvecklats till att bli den riktiga mätstocken på filmstjärnornas popularitet hos fansen och priserna är mycket eftertraktade. Kategorierna skiljer sig dock något från Oscars utdelningen och man delar ut pris för sexigaste skådespelaren såväl som bästa film. Steve Carell (The 40-year-old Virgin) och Vince Vaughn (The Wedding Crashers) ligger nästan jämt i bästa komedi kategorin men Christian Bale i Batman Begins är ohotad som superhjälte. Jessica Alba (Fantastic Four) ser ut att vinna sexigaste skådespelare samtidigt som King Kong blir bästa film enligt spelbolaget bet365s oddsättare. MTV Movie Awards blir en stor fest med parodier årets filmer och uppträdanden i världsklass.

  • True Bromance: Representation of Masculinity and Heteronormative
    TRUE BROMANCE: REPRESENTATION OF MASCULINITY AND HETERONORMATIVE DOMINANCE IN THE BROMANTIC COMEDY David B. Hartwell B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2013 APPROVED: Harry Benshoff, Major Professor George Larke-Walsh, Committee Member Jacqueline Foertsch, Committee Member Alan Albarran, Chair of Department of Radio, Television and Film Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Hartwell, David B. True Bromance: Representation of Masculinity and Heteronormative Dominance in the Bromantic Comedy. Master of Arts (Radio, Television and Film), December 2013, 112 pp., reference list, 90 titles. This project explores the representation of white, American masculinity within the Hollywood bromantic comedy cycle. By analyzing three interrelated components (close homosociality, infantilization, and relationship to patriarchy) of the model of masculinity perpetuated by this cycle of films, this study reveals the hegemonic motives therein. Despite the representation of a masculinity nervously questioning its position within the romantic comedy narrative and the broader patriarchal structure, the results of this representation are, ultimately, regressive and reactionary. Cultural gains made concerning gender, sexuality, and race are doubled back upon in a cycle of films that appeal to regressive modes of misogyny, homophobia, and racism still present in Hollywood filmmaking, and the hegemony of white, patriarchal heteronormativity is rigorously maintained.

  • GSC Films A-D 2 Days in Paris 2007 July Delpy (France) 3.5 Adam Goldberg As Jack, Insecure, Hypochondriacal New York
    GSC Films A-D 2 Days in Paris 2007 July Delpy (France) 3.5 Adam Goldberg as Jack, insecure, hypochondriacal New Yorker; July Delpy as pretty Parisian Marion manifesting the deficiencies in her love life; Albert Delpy as Marion's kooky father, an artist obsessed with sexual subjects; Marie Pillet as her equally eccentric mother who loves cats, enjoys doing laundry, and boasts about having had a “little” affair with Jim Morrison back in the day when people were “happy with their bodies” (both parent characters are played by Delpy’s actual parents). Amusing and insightful comedy on the foibles of romantic relationships and French and American culture. Goldberg and Delpy arrive in Paris from Venice on a trip in Europe to try to revive their flagging romantic relationship and to show the non- French-speaking Goldberg Paris and introduce him to Delpy’s family. In the course of the film, the food market with Delpy’s father (much to Goldberg’s dismay, flayed rabbits hanging all around). The film is extremely amusing largely because of Delpy’s quirky, aggressive yet cute and sexy personality: she gets into violent, profanity-laced arguments with a racist cab driver (Delpy is fanatically committed to left- wing causes); and she gets so obnoxious in her confrontation with an ex-lover in a café (he had dumped her several years before and gone to Thailand to “have sex with 12-year-olds”) that she is thrown by the management out on the street. She is also flirtatious and self-indulgent, at one point leading a good- looking Algerian taxi driver to offer to make a baby with her, if she wants one that looks like Brad Pitt.
