Yet such is his destiny. Happy Tears Hot Tub Time Machine The outcome is told in "Clash of the Titans" with impressive technical How to Train Your Dragon mastery and somewhat lesser dramatic command. For its intended The Last Song audience, I suspect this will play as a great entertainment. I enjoyed The Last Station myself, particularly after they released the Kraken.

The struggles with Medusa take place on ledges over a flaming lake of lava far below.

I don't say it's good cinema, although I Sherlock Holmes (3/30) recognize the craftsmanship that went into it. I don't say it's good An Education (3/30) acting, when the men have so much facial hair they all look like Liam The Baader-Meinhof Complex (3/30) Neeson.

Yes, if you intuit that this review is affectionate and have the same tolerance for goofy Greek gods as I coming on dvd do. One word of consumer advice, however. Explain to kids that the movie was not filmed in 3-D and is only being shown in 3-D in order Crazy Heart (4/20) to charge you an extra $5 a ticket. I saw it in 2-D, and let me tell you, The Horse Boy (4/20) it looked terrific.

David è il primo ad accorgersi che qualcosa si aggira nella nebbia …qualcosa di letale e spaventoso …creature di un altro mondo. La sopravvivenza dipende dall’unione di tutti quelli che si trovano nel supermercato… ma, data la natura umana, sarà possibile? Mentre la razionalità va in pezzi davanti alla paura e al panico, David comincia a chiedersi cosa lo spaventi di più: i mostri fuori nella nebbia o quelli dentro il supermercato, il genere umano, le persone che fino a quel momento sono stati i suoi amici e i suoi vicini? In questo leggendario racconto del terrore scritto dal maestro Stephen King, il sottile strato di vernice del vivere civile viene graffiato via, la maschera viene tolta e il vero orrore si rivela in noi stessi.

  • Clash of the Titans As a Parallel Remake
    Clash of the Titans as a Parallel Remake By Antonio Sanna Fall 2015 Issue of KINEMA REINTERPRETING MYTH AND FILM: CLASH OF THE TITANS AS A PARALLEL REMAKE Abstract Louis Leterrier’s film Clash of the Titans (2010) is a new version of both Desmond Davis’s 1981 film by the same title and the Greek myth of Perseus. Categorizing Leterrier’s work is nevertheless problematic because the film partly defies many definitions of cinematic remakes elaborated by the critics in the pastdecades. Clash of the Titans shall be examined and evaluated in relation to both its precursor texts, with specific attention to its significantly different treatment of their narrative units. Although remakes have been produced since the very creation of cinema at the end of the nineteenth century and proliferate nowadays (Forrester 89), critics consider them as ”an underexplored subject” (Forrester and Koos 26), whose definition(s) and classification(s) are still being scrutinized and debated. Remakes areoften examined in terms of their fidelity to the primary source, whether it is a literary text or the original film.As Laura Grindstaff points out, indeed, they are ”a species of intertextual interpretation and translation” (275) that explicitly foregrounds ”its own indebtedness to another originary text” (275). This is certainly true in the case of the film Clash of the Titans (2010), the most recent adaptation of the Greek myth of Perseus by Louis Leterrier, director of the first two Transporter films (2002-2005), Unleashed (2005), The Incredible Hulk (2008) and the recent Now You See Me (2013). The 2010 film explicitly foregrounds its indebtedness to the Greek myth and Desmond Davis’s Clash of the Titans (1981), but it is likewise expressly unfaithful to both of them because of its major thematic, aesthetic and ideological changes.
