skip to main | skip to sidebar Monday, March 16, 2009 Dengue Fever: Sleepwalking Through the Mekong John Pirozzi, 2009 (8*)Mostly in English, with some subtitles. Available this April.There’s a very unique L.A. band called Dengue (‘din-gay’) Fever, whom you might have heard on NPR. They play a unique sixties-based 'L.A. filtered' Cambodian rock, which they say was derived from surf music, but you couldn’t tell from what Dengue Fever puts out, it sounds closer to psychedelic rock to me, with some almost Garcia-like guitar. The Holtzman brothers who formed the band hired a strong-voiced Cambodian singer, Chhom Nimol, who was famous there before immigrating to the U.S. Their music is actually covers of famous Cambodian rock singers, who, due to the massacres committed by the Kymer Rouge regime, sadly did not survive that turbulent era. Along with Nimol, they are keeping this music alive in the world, and in this film, they take the music back to its people.Director Pirozzi has filmed an engrossing documentary of Dengue Fever as they travel to Cambodia for the first time to perform what is essentially that culture’s modern music, and for singer Nimol, it’s a homecoming after five years absence. Pirozzi often shows the band’s performances from a close and wide-angle view (see photo), making the viewer feel that they are seeing the music live themselves, sometimes from onstage, sometimes as part of the crowd.Rather than concentrate on just the band, Pirozzi also shows many wonderful images of Cambodia and its people, successfully using a montage effect at times, like traveling is shown in old b&w classic films. Since the entire country seems to travel on motor scooters, a hand-held camera is often used from a scooter in the middle of the traffic so we get a feeling of how chaotic the streets are there, yet everyone seems safe enough that no one wears helmets, not even entire families of 4-5 people on one scooter. The band was lucky enough to be there during the Water Festival, celebrating the end of monsoon season when the Mekong River actually changes direction, so we get to see what looks like their Mardi Gras, as thousands pour into Phnom Penh from the countryside for a festival of fireworks, music, water sports, and food.Pirozzi includes encounters with local Cambodian music masters, and we see some of the effort being made with young people to keep this culture alive, which barely survived the war years and in some cases has a lone surviving instrumentalist. The Cambodian people appear very outgoing and friendly, a friend of mine who lived in Thailand said as much. Director Pirozzi has created a wonderful film of cross-cultural meetings that created lasting impressions and immediate friendships.My only complaint with this film is that at 65 minutes, it’s about half an hour too short, so it feels 'tv length'. Thankfully, Pirozzi added about another 45 minutes of short films to the dvd so viewers won’t be disappointed. In fact, one song, “1000 Tears of a Tarantula”, is a wonderful jazz excursion that blends the best of both American and Cambodian music into one ethereal musical journey – this is the best music on the dvd, and should have been included in the film. If you like the music, there’s an excellent soundtrack to the film on CD released as part of the dvd package. We need more music films this rare, stories that show good music, a joyous cultural exchange, and a window into a society that’s been overlooked far too long by the rest of the world.Here’s the website for the film: Sleepwalking Through the MekongFor artwork: Dengue Fever Promo Art Posted by Jose Sinclair at 8:53 PM 0 comments Labels: Dengue Fever, Documentary, John Pirozzi, Live Music Wednesday, March 11, 2009 Most Oscar® Wins, Year by Year BP=Best Picture winner if not the leader, which has happened 11 times.31 times the leader has failed to win 5 total.Most Wins: Return of the King, Titanic, and Ben-Hur - 11 each; West Side Story had 10; Gigi, The English Patient, and The Last Emperor 9 each.Cabaret won the most (8) without winning Picture (The Godfather).Gone With the Wind's then record of 8 was matched twice in 15 yrs, by From Here to Eternity then On the Waterfront a year later, then was broken 3 times in a 4 year span (Gigi 9, Ben-Hur 11, West Side Story 10). The total was matched 7 more times, recently by Slumdog Millionaire, and beaten 7 times as well.Hardest to believe: The Sting (and Going My Way) won as many (7) as The Best Years of Our Lives, Lawrence of Arabia, Bridge On the River Kwai, Patton, Dances With Wolves, Schindler's List, and Shakespeare in Love.

Interesting to me, since Wall-E has won 36 awards this year, and should have been up for best.

Posted by Jose Sinclair at 11:45 PM 0 comments Labels: 2009 Film Awards, 2009 Producer's Guild Awards, 30 Rock, film awards, John Adams, Mad Men, Slumdog Millionaire, Wall-E Sunday, January 25, 2009 Screen Actors Guild Awards The SAG awards results (held on Jan 25th). They give awards only to actors (the award is called The Actor®) - and the word "actress" is prohibited. They also give awards for ensemble acting, and for both film and tv.Can't you just hear the kids at home: "Hey, mommy won The Actor" - "Wow! Is it Tom Cruise?"2009 SAG Winners (career totals shown)FilmEnsemble Cast: Slumdog MillionaireLead Actress: Meryl Streep (Doubt, 2nd, but 1st for film)Lead Actor: Sean Penn (Milk, 1st)Supporting Actress: Kate Winslet (The Reader, 2nd)Supporting Actor: Heath Ledger (Dark Knight, 1st)Stunt Ensemble, film: The Dark KnightTVEnsemble Cast, Comedy: 30 RockLead Actress, Comedy: Tina Fey (30 Rock)- Tina Fey – 2nd and 3rd awardsLead Actor, Comedy: Alec Baldwin (30 Rock)- Alec Baldwin – 3rd and 4th awardsEnsemble Cast, Drama: Mad MenLead Actor, Drama: Hugh Laurie (House, 2nd)Lead Actress, Drama: Sally Field (Brothers & Sisters, 1st)Actress, Movie or Miniseries: Laura Linney (John Adams, 1st)Actor, Movie or Miniseries: Paul Giamatti (John Adams, 1st)Stunt Ensemble, tv: HeroesLifetime Achievement: James Earl Jones (who has NO Oscars, while Denzel Washington has two, and Forrest Whitaker, Morgan Freeman, and Halle Berry one each; is there no justice in Oscar-ville? That's the greatest voice in film history we're talking about, and the 2nd greatest, John Houseman, also has an Oscar)Quotes“I can’t decide if I want to make out with Tony Hopkins or Diane Lane. Doesn’t Tony look great?” – Alec Baldwin“My daughter puts on makeup and says ‘I look like Barack Obama’ – I don’t know where she got the idea that it’s cool to look like a politician. One day she’s gonna see 30 Rock on YouTube and ask ‘what do you mean, no residuals?’” – Tina Fey“My dad was a stuntman, and I think you just saw some of his work underneath the horses.” – Sally Field (after a montage of great film stunts)"Thanks for this ensemble award - some of these folks we just picked up off the street" - Jane Krakowski (30 Rock)“In Genesis, it says that God shaped man from the dust of the earth and breathed life into his nostril; I don’t mean to embarrass any of you, but an actor does the same thing with a role.” – James Earl Jones“I would just like to add, Paul Newman, somebody down here likes you.” – James Earl Jones (a reference to Newman’s first big film, “Somebody Up There Likes Me”)“Something happened to me making this film, and I now notice that these statues have nice packages.” – Sean PennThe official SAG site nominations and winners:Screen Actors GuildMy Comments: I discovered 30 Rock on dvd, and love it. The beauty of the dvd's is 8 episodes per disk (about 3 hrs) with no commercials! Excellent writing, and Alec Baldwin is perfect, he's a terrific comic actor. Best thing on network tv right now, which isn't saying much at all unless you like amateur singing, amateur dancing, amateur's surviving, or people losing weight as a contest. How LOW have we sunk?I read Bernard Schlink's book "The Reader" and liked it a lot. I like the SciFi premise of Benjamin Button, if done right these stories can be enchanting. My favorite so far is Wall-E, sadly, it's destined to win nothing but animation awards. I haven't seen Slumdog yet, but I look forward to it.Too late for wagering! -- the Jman, El Presidenté Posted by Jose Sinclair at 4:09 PM 1 comments Labels: 2009 Film Awards, 2009 TV Awards, 30 Rock, Heath Ledger, Kate Winslet, Mad Men, Meryl Streep, SAG Awards, Sally Field, Screen Actors Guild awards, Sean Penn, Slumdog Millionaire Friday, January 23, 2009 2009 Golden Globe Awards - Slumdog and Winslet Big Winners Slumdog Millionaire won the big awards, and four total, but Kate Winslet won both Best Actress and Supporting Actress, her first two Golden Globe awards.2009 Golden Globe Award Winners[Movies]Drama Film: Slumdog MillionaireComedy/Musical Film: Vicki Christina BarcelonaDirector, Film: Danny Boyle, Slumdog MillionaireActress, Mus/Comedy Film: Sally Hawkins, Happy GoActor, Mus/Comedy Film: Colin Farrell, In BrugesActress, Dramatic Film: Kate Winslet, Revolutionary RoadActor, Dramatic Film: Mickey Rourke, The WrestlerSupporting Actress, Film: Kate Winslet, The ReaderSupporting Actor, Film: Heath Ledger, Dark KnightAnimated Film: Wall-E (Pixar/Disney)Foreign Language Film: Waltz With Bashir (Ari Kohlman?)Screenplay, Film: Slumdog Millionaire (Simon Beaufoy)Music Score, Film: Slumdog Millionaire (A.R.
