It All Starts When Thor's Adopted Brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) Causes Havoc on Earth in Order to Rule the Human Race It all starts when Thor's adopted brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) causes havoc on earth in order to rule the human race. Loki has left Asgard and now wants to ref ashion earth as his kingdom and humans as his slaves. Loki intends to steal a cu be (energy-source) called the Teseract which would help him and other vicious al iens to wage a war against humans. It is now upto the superheroes/super skilled warriors to get together and save t he Earth. But will the 'eccentric freaks' comprising of tech genius, good guy but cocky Ir on Man (Robert Downey Jr), Russian spy Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), the man with anger management issues Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), righteous & man of morals Cap tain America (Chris Evans), master archer Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) and hammer-wie lding god Thor (Chris Hemsworth) put aside their apprehensions, ego, controversi al past to fight alongside each other and against the aliens? The Avengers' build-up is a tad slow as the initial formation of the super-hero force takes time but once that's done; the film grips you with its fast-paced ac tion, sleek one-liners, engaging banter and endearing humour throughout. When yo u are not clapping after every stunt scene, you are awed by the greatness and my stique of the mighty superheroes like a child! Director-Screenplay writer Joss Whedon does the implausible task of accumulating the superheroes for a common cause superbly. The script lets every character ha ve its moments except for Hawkeye who gets the least significance. Jeremy Renner seems wasted. Barring him, rest all get equal opportunities to showcase their s uper-powers. Robert Downey Jr's magnetic personality, sarcasm, sharp wit and distinct portray al of Iron Man manage to hold the film together. As Tony Stark, RDJ infuses that much needed spark and life into the movie with his superb one-liners. When a ri ghteous capt America questions flamboyant Stark's heroic abilities saying "Take off that armour and what are you?" Stark mockingly replies, "Genius, billionaire , playboy, philanthropist." Stark is also seen in his plush New York apartment i n this movie and not California. Mark Ruffalo playing The Hulk is another reason you enjoy The Avengers thoroughl y. Watch out for Hulk's interaction with Loki, you'll die laughing! It is one of the best scenes in the movie. Ironically, the big guy tickles your funny bone e very time he loses his temper. Mark Ruffalo plays the role with absolute ease an d conviction. You don't think of Edward Norton or Eric Bana even once. Tom Hiddleston as the wanabe tyrant (Loki) is impressive too. Chris Evans plays sober well as the righteous Capt America. Chris Hemsworth as Thor makes his pres ence felt. The Avengers does not fall short of anything. Stunts, story, performances, humou r...the film has it all and just in the right proportion. Humour is in abundance but no way does it make the film spoof-like. The banter between the superheroes is as interesting as their fight with the aliens. Joss Whedon leaves you emotio nally invested in the movie. You feel for the characters, which makes the film a roller coaster ride you don't want to miss out on! It's a feel-good fun film..

  • A Film by Joanna Hogg
    presents EXHIBITION A FILM BY JOANNA HOGG UK / COLOUR / 104 MINUTES / 2013 A Kino Lorber Release from Kino Lorber, Inc. 333 West 39 St., Suite 503 New York, NY 10018 (212) 629-6880 Publicity Contacts: Rodrigo Brandão – [email protected] Matt Barry – [email protected] SHORT SYNOPSIS When D and H decide to sell the home they have loved and lived in for two decades, they begin a process of saying goodbye to their shared history under the same roof. The upheaval causes anxieties to surface, and wife and performance artist D, struggles to control the personal and creative aspects of her life with H. Dreams, memories, fears, have all imprinted themselves on their home, which exists as a container for their lives and has played such an important role in their relationship. LONG SYNOPSIS Artists D (Viv Albertine) and H (Liam Gillick) are a married couple who have lived together in a West London house for nearly 20 years. It is a modernist house - all verticals, reflecting windows and sliding partitions – and seemingly the ideal residence for two artists who each work independently at home in their separate spaces, occasionally communicating briefly by intercom. Throughout EXHIBITION we see D and H living together, working separately, communicating or failing to communicate – in a series of moments depicting a long-term relationship that sometimes seems to be in meltdown, at other times extremely strong. It’s autumn. H suggests to D that she’s unwilling to discuss her work with him; she says she’s reluctant to expose herself to his criticism.

    Our TIFF: Geoffrey Rush smoking with the riff-raff 11-01-28 1:24 PM Our TIFF: Geoffrey Rush smoking with the riff-raff TIFF most down-to-earth celebrity? Geoffrey Rush casually shared a smoke or two with regular folks on the sidewalk outside the It Might Get Loud party at the George Pimentel for National Post SoHo Metropolitan. National Post · Friday, Sept. 12, 2008 How the Post’s team of reporters saw this year’s film festival. By Nathalie Atkinson, Vanessa Farquharson, Shinan Govani, Ben Kaplan, Chris Knight, Adam McDowell, Katherine Monk, Jay Stone and Bob Thompson Best festival motto OK, there is only one: For the love of film. But it’s so flexible. Say it in a straight voice and it’s about how much you enjoy movies. Add a sarcastic tone and it doubles as an epithet for when you’ve just been turned away from a party, or had your cab snatched by Julianne Moore: “Oh, for the love of film!” C.K. Best star-sighting vantage point If you can, land this coveted spot: the corner table behind the mesh divider at the Hazelton’s lobby bar, which offers perfect sightlines to the hotel’s patio, restaurant, lobby, elevators and washroom corridor, so you don’t miss a single star. It’s celebrity central: Mickey Rourke, Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood, Adrian Brody, Mark Ruffalo, überpublicist Stephen Huvane and the last emperor himself, Valentino, all waltzed through. Within the same hour. (Bonus: Harvey Weinstein is often ensconced at a side table taking pitches, like an audience with the Pope.) N.A.

  • 1 Forever Alone in a Crowd, Arthur Fleck Seeks Connection. Yet, As He
    Forever alone in a crowd, Arthur Fleck seeks connection. Yet, as he trods the sooted Gotham City streets and rides the graffitied mass transit rails of a hostile town teeming with division and dissatisfaction, Arthur wears two masks. One, he paints on for his day job as a clown. The other he can never remove; it’s the guise he projects in a futile attempt to feel he’s a part of the world around him, and not the misunderstood man whom life is repeatedly beating down. Fatherless, Arthur has a fragile mother, arguably his best friend, who nicknamed him Happy, a moniker that’s fostered in Arthur a smile that hides the heartache beneath. But, when bullied by teens on the streets, taunted by suits on the subway, or simply teased by his fellow clowns at work, this social outlier only becomes even more out of sync with everyone around him. Directed, co-written and produced by Todd Phillips, “Joker” is the filmmaker’s original vision of the infamous DC villain, an origin story infused with, but distinctly outside, the character’s more traditional mythologies. Phillips’ exploration of Arthur Fleck, who is indelibly portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix, is of a man struggling to find his way in Gotham’s fractured society. Longing for any light to shine on him, he tries his hand as a stand-up comic, but finds the joke always seems to be on him. Caught in a cyclical existence between apathy and cruelty and, ultimately, betrayal, Arthur makes one bad decision after another that brings about a chain reaction of escalating events in this gritty, allegorical character study.
