The IMAX "Cosmic Voyage" film was made as a public service with sponsorship by the Smithsonian Air and Space museum. On DVD, borrowed from my local public library, it plays at just over 30 minutes with Morgan Freeman supplying a pleasing narrative. As one would expect from an IMAX film, the image quality is superb and the Dolby 5.1 sound track is very well done. Simulated cosmic explosions shake your walls! That is, if you have a good powered subwoofer in your system. The film takes a very useful approach to examining the size of the universe, from tiny sub-atomic particles to the vastness of the whole universe. (Fortunately, when God created the Universe he had dispatched a few angels with video cameras at different vantage points so we get to see actual footage from several billion years ago.) The film starts in Venice, where the discovery of the telescope originated, and uses a one-meter hoop as a reference point, then gradually goes larger by powers of 10, e.g. 10 meters, 100, 1000, etc until we can see the whole universe. Then it takes the opposite journey, going smaller by powers of 10 until be see inside sub-atomic particles. The story is well-woven with beautiful effects created especially for this film. It is entertaining and educational at the same time. All of "oldsters" can enjoy it for the scientific history we are already familiar with, and all the "youngsters" can enjoy it for the educational supplement it provides. Overall a masterful film. Any numerical "rating" of "Cosmic Voyage" is meaningless. If one is looking for a superb film about our universe and modern theories of its formation, this one is hard to beat. Kudos to IMAX and to the Air and Space Museum. 肉眼只能看见穹苍一角。凝视夜空,但见繁星点点,偶尔一颗流星划破夜空,但你可曾看见恒星死亡前的最后爆发?瞪视双手,你或会看见点点尘垢,但你又可曾看见组成皮肤的原子在颤动?因为眼不能见,我们只能纵驰想像,去探索这个深邃广阔的宇宙。 本片获第六十九届奥斯卡金像奖最佳纪录短片提名.

In Notes of Autumn, Ellie (Williams) is a fun-loving, classically trained pianist living in the city who gave up on her passion long ago. She now works for a hotel and always seems to be getting things wrong when musical inspiration strikes. Her best friend, Leo (Macfarlane), lives in the rustic outskirts of British Columbia. He’s a famous author with writer’s block who can’t finish another installment in his highly popular book series. They both need a change of scenery as the chilly days of autumn settle in and decide to swap places, ending up completely lost in new surroundings. Ellie gets tangled up in helping Leo’s neighbor, Sam (Rosner), put together a musical performance for a local fundraiser and comes to terms with why she quit music years ago. Meanwhile, Leo strikes up a friendship with Ellie’s good friend Matt (Porte) and opens himself up to writing something different that really inspires him. Their newfound friendships turn into something far more meaningful. As both Ellie and Leo take part in the joys of the autumn season, they also discover their hearts belong somewhere very different than they ever thought possible.

American Charlotte Dobler is a master chocolatier in Vienna, she having taken over historic Dobler Chocolates from her now deceased grandmother. She is facing an eviction of sorts from that historic site in a buyout from Danube Developments who has a redevelopment project under works. Charlotte is the only property owner holdout in not selling in honor of that history. In an appeal to city hall, Charlotte can't prove her stance that it is eligible to be designated a protected historical landmark, i.e. a building at least one hundred years old, as she only has the stories told to her by her grandmother, with records of such seemingly all destroyed during the war. Danube's assertion is that the site was probably redeveloped postwar. Charlotte's fallback is preparing for the annual Vienna Chocolatier of the Year competition, she one of the three finalists. She figures winning such would bring profile to her and the shop, Danube who would not dare to be seen as the bad guy in placing pressure on the winner to vacate against her will. In a worse case scenario, Charlotte believes she may have to move back to the States and revert back to her former law career. Through this process, she meets Henry Broadbent, the new CEO of what was his father's development business, Eurostar, and a philanthropist. As a bond forms between the two, Henry learns that the company placing pressure on her to sell is Danube. The issue is that Henry's father, Gordon Broadbent, in one of his last acts as Eurostar CEO, acquired Danube specifically because of this redevelopment on the Dobler site. Henry has to decide what to do as Eurostar CEO while wanting to continue that burgeoning romantic relationship with Charlotte.

当丹尼被邀请担任希腊婚礼上的伴郎时,他鼓起勇气承认自己对最好的朋友的浪漫感情。这是一部很棒的电影。友谊、感情、风景、衣柜,浪漫喜剧的正确平衡。您会特别喜欢乔纳森·贝内特。在这部电影中,乔纳森将丹尼这个角色塑造成一个讨人喜欢、对生活和爱情感到困惑的普通人。有些电影他太傻了,但这一部恰到好处。不需要海因斯或布里特来“制作”这部电影。旁白部分有点混乱,但看起来像是连接故事的方式。必须对衣柜表示敬意。服装选择很棒,但西装和燕尾服很出色。特别适合乔纳森,非常适合。有时我认为衣柜正忙着让女主角看起来好看,他们忽视了一套完美合身的西装有多好看,而这部电影提供了机会。观看第二次机会,享受它。
弗朗西斯·福特·科波拉的《大都会》改编自古罗马的历史著作《喀提林阴谋》,聚焦于一个幻想中的纽约,架空的时代背景处于古罗马与呼啸的20年代之间,城市却又兼具现代纽约的面貌。这座城市正处于一场灾难的边缘,两股势力对城市的未来有着不同的看法:市长西塞罗是保守派的代言,对城市的发展的观点传统守旧;而一位革新派的建筑师喀提林则希望在城市中建立一个乌托邦。在这两位有权势的人物之间,一位年轻的女性在其中周旋——她是市长的女儿朱莉娅,她爱上了喀提林。 《大都会》项目的缘起最早可以回溯到1984年。当时,科波拉创作了近400页的剧本,但是由于他的制片公司American Zoetrope破产,影片的前期制作陷入了困境。2001年,科波拉重新启动了该项目,却在其在纽约拍摄素材镜头时遭到了9/11事件,使得投资方对这个讲述纽约受灾的题材望而却步。近年来,人们已经放弃了希望,认为科波拉不会再拍摄这部电影……但是科波拉回来了。当看到演员们穿着华丽的服装的片场照,人们还是觉得像做梦一样:这一切真的发生了吗?乌托邦大都会,将要在我们这个漫改当道的维度中实现了吗? 影片于2022年11月开拍,将持续到2023年3月,假如一切顺利的话。此外,还将有一年的时间用于后期制作,剪辑、视效等等,因此,影片大约会在2024年上映。影片的大部分场景将在佐治亚州的一个特效工作室中拍摄。这对于年事已高的科波拉来说,是一个相对轻松的环境,我们也得以看到他自《现代启示录》后关于工作室的古老梦想在新世代的土壤中生根发芽。 《大都会》剧本打磨了将近40年,考虑到它的成熟度,我们对其充满希望。而它其中蕴含的政治野心也将改变好莱坞。科波拉将会用什么样的风格拍摄本片?是《教父》三部曲的黑暗、肃穆、仪式感?还是像《创业先锋》那样,流畅、多彩和激动人心?科波拉认为,《大都会》将是他所有作品风格的集大成之作。
