HMV collapse 'inevitable' - but music fans will miss the magic

Few commentators surprised by HMV's plight, but death of record stores is bad news for music lovers THERE was a ray of hope today that some of the 230 branches of HMV could still be rescued from oblivion following the 92-year-old high street chain's decision to call in the administrators. But most music lovers fear that music shops will now be a thing of the past. Writing in The Independent, David Hepworth recalls his days working at HMV's Oxford Street branch in the 1980s, when a new release would trigger excitement and long queues from the tills to the back of the shop. "A download's all very well, but it's not magic," he writes. "Record shops were magic." Neil McCormick of the Daily Telegraph says HMV's predicament is another nail in the coffin of the record shop, a "holy" place where you can "luxuriate in longing and nostalgia, filled with the warm sense of being somewhere your musical obsession is treated as venerable and even sacred". It's not just disappointing for music fans, says McCormick – it's also bad news for the record industry because the end result may be an overall reduction in the amount of music that is purchased. It's possible the disappearance of HMV "may well suit" some small, independent record stores who will get some extra business, McCormick notes. But he adds that such "indie stores" are not in every high street and shopping mall, which means even more people will migrate to the web where "music is cheap or free" and can be obtained "at the click of a mouse". The Financial Times says the failure of HMV marks a "grim start to the year" following the closure last week of the camera retailer Jessops. But the paper says there is cause for hope because Hilco, the "retail restructuring group" that already owns HMV Canada, may be interested in acquiring "some HMV stores" in the UK. The Guardian also says analysts expect a buyer for "at least a part of the group". But Neil Saunders, managing director of research group Conlumino, spoke for many when he said HMV's plight was "inevitable". In an age when 73.4 per cent of music and film are taken directly from the internet, HMV's business model had become "increasingly irrelevant and unsustainable". Source: The Week UK

Lore

Lore tells a bleak, uncommon, and harrowing tale of a Nazi siblings traverse across war-ravaged Germany in search of their grandmother's home following the imprisonment of their parents. Directed by Australian director Cate Shortland (AFI winner for Somersault), and written by Shortland and Robin Mukherjee, this international co-production screened at the Sydney Film Festival as part of the Official Competition. Recently Lore won the Audience Award at the Locarno Film Festival, and is set to screen at this month's Toronto International Film Festival. Featuring a breakthrough role from Saskia Rosendahl, this is a stirring and emotionally resonating war drama that comes highly recommended. Lore is set during 1945 and the fall of the German resistance. With their SS father (Hans-Jochen Wagner) and mother (Ursina Lardi) imprisoned by American and Russian forces, and abandoned to face an uncertain fate, Hannelore (Saskia Rosendahl) takes charge of the rest of her family - her younger sister Liesel (Nele Trebs), twins Jurgen (Mika Seidel) and Gunther (Andrei Frid) and baby brother, Peter - guiding them across the perilous countryside towards their grandmother's house in Hamburg. On the road the children face the punishing conditions, experience distressing sights and find their health suffer, and along the way Hannelore begins to better understand the consequences of her parents' actions, come of age, and accept responsibility for her family. Lore tells an uncommon tale set during an accurately recreated historical period. At the centre of this tale is Lore, our complex heroine. Having been raised in privilege and taught that Jews are not to be trusted and an enemy to her family, she is reluctant to allow Thomas (Kai-Peter Malina), a young man they discover hiding out in an abandoned house, to become their traveling companion. Initially, when he follows the group from a distance, Lore resists his attempts to reach out to her, but ultimately becomes

drawn to him out of comfort and sexual desire and he assists them on several occasions; most importantly passing through patrols. Lore begins to understand what is required for her family to make it, offering up scraps of jewellery and even sexual favors. Thomas aids them without any expected compensation, but his Jewish papers present a challenge to Lore's morality. Her innocence is almost completely lost over the course of the journey, as her confusing adolescent emotions begin to influence her decisions.Sympathising with these characters could have been difficult, but it remains emotionally involving because we understand that the children are innocent and have been raised to accept their parents' political affiliations. Understanding that the children need to have some hope, Lore doesn't reveal their parents' fates, and as a result they are so confused by the situation that they believe they will again be united with their parents at their grandmother's house. The tense atmosphere - which captures a reality as grim as they come and offers up a suffocating level of foreboding - is beautifully conveyed in the stunning photography courtesy of Adam Arkapaw (Snowtown and Animal Kingdom), one of Australia's best DP's. You feel every step the children make through the mud, and can almost smell the stench of death surrounding them. Lore is also very effectively scored by Max Richter, and the young actors all deliver mature performances. Rosendahl, especially, is outstanding. She is a young actress to watch after this career-defining role. The conclusion is powerful because it is evident how much Lore has changed - coming to terms with her family's accountability and adjusting her own prejudices having learned that they never would have made it without the aid of Thomas, considered a friendly to the American forces. The emotions that weigh on her having turned Thomas away, knowing that he would not be welcomed to her grandmother's house, involves heartbreaking revelation. This is a satisfying and very well crafted film from Cate Shortland, and having not seen Somersault, I'd now like to see from where her vision has evolved. Source: The Film Emporium

Kate Middleton Puts All Foreign Tours On Hold For 2013

Pregnant British royal Kate Middleton (Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge) will not undertake any tours of duty abroad in 2013, according to a new report. Prince William's wife is due to give birth to the couple's first child in the summer, and aides believe official trips outside of the U.K. will be put on hold to avoid tiring her out. A source tells British newspaper The Daily Telegraph, "No overseas tour has yet been planned for next year, and obviously the arrival of the baby will have an effect on the Duchess' diary." Since marrying the Prince in 2011, the Duchess has undertaken several official trips abroad as part of her royal duties, including visits to Canada and the U.S., and an extensive tour of Southeast Asia and the South Pacific. Photo Credits: WENN.com, Source: Starpulse.com

Penelope Cruz loves acting challenges

Penelope Cruz says she loves taking on different acting challenges and wants to continue working in Spanish films. Topping her wishlist are films in which she can experiment with her accents.

Spanish actress Penelope Cruz said at the Toronto International Film Festival that she will never stop making films in Spain and in Spanish, but that she also would like to play a character with a British accent and take on the role of a stereotypical California "valley girl". Cruz presented her latest film "Venuto al mondo" (Twice Born), an Italian-Spanish co-production directed by Sergio Castellitto and also starring Emile Hirsch, Adnan Haskovic and Saadet Aksoy, Thursday at the TIFF. "I love being part of projects like this, although I'll always want to keep working in my country and in Spanish. I'll never stop for many reasons. It's also quite refreshing to go back and work in my own language," Cruz said. "Because in this (film), as much as I loved it, it was a big challenge to shoot 70 percent of the film in English and the rest in Italian. But the English had to have an Italian accent. I love those challenges, but I can't say it was easy," she added. Penelope Cruz, whose upcoming projects include British director Ridley Scott's The Counselor and Spanish filmmaker's Pedro Almodovar's "Los amantes pasajeros" (I'm So Excited), said she has a passion for accents. "I love accents. Now that I'm more comfortable in English, I'd like to play (a role with) a British accent. I have a character. She's really fun, but I can't talk about her. But it's a character with a British accent," she said. "And I'd also like to play a 'valley girl'. One day," the actress said laughing. In an interview published last Saturday by Italian daily La Stampa, Cruz said that she plans to produce at least two films a year in her homeland to create jobs amid sky-high unemployment. "I want to bring jobs to my people ... I'll use my privileged position. It's what interests me the most right now. I know it's a grain of sand in the desert, but it's a responsibility I think I have," Cruz said. "I'll produce a couple of films a year. A way to give work to hundreds of people. It's a set idea I have." Cruz, winner of a best-supporting actress Oscar for her role as an unstable artist in Woody Allen's 2008 comedy-drama "Vicky Cristina Barcelona", said she has worked hard but also has had a lot of opportunities in life. The talents of "an entire generation of highly trained young people" in Spain are being wasted, Cruz said, adding that though they have lots to offer there is nothing for them to do but "bang their heads against the wall or go out in the street and protest." Spain's economy has been battered in recent years by the collapse of a massive real-estate bubble in the context of the 2008-09 global recession. The country's unemployment rate stands at nearly 25 percent and at more than 50 percent among young people. Despite the high joblessness, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's government has opted for a series of austerity measures in recent months to bring a high budget deficit into line with European Union mandates. Those measures have been harshly criticized by unions and sparked large-scale street protests. Cruz told the Italian daily that her role of a single mother who brings her teenage son to Sarajevo in "Venuto al Mondo" and the character she played in Almodovar's "Volver" (To Return) have been the two most challenging of her career thus far. Source: ApunKaChoice.com

Ang Lee’s Life of Pi opened International Film Festival of India

Ang Lee’s Life of Pi will opend the International Film Festival of India at Goa’s Panaji on Tuesday. Adapted to the screen from Yann Martel’s 2002 Man Booker Prize winning novel, Life of Pi is a tempestuous tale of a boy whose ship is wrecked in a killer storm on high seas. The boy, Pi, loses his mother, father and kid brother along with their little zoo when the family is sailing from their hometown of Puducherry or Pondicherry (close to Chennai in India) to Canada. In the end, Pi finds himself on a lifeboat with the most unlikely of companions, a Royal Bengal Tiger. Forced to spend many, many weeks on the tiny boat drifting on the waves, Pi learns to survive against not just Nature’s fiercesome odds, but also a deadly beast. While New Delhi’s Suraj Sharma’s essays the young Pi, whose carelessness on a cyclonic night costs the life of his parents and brother, Irrfan plays the older Pi. During a recent chat with me, Irrfan said that it was an impossibly difficult book to adapt for a movie. It was extremely complex and Lee shot the first parts of the film in Puducherry where the story actually begins, later moving to his native Taiwan for the more complex scenes. He recreated the Pacific Ocean, where Pi’s family perishes on a night of killer waves, in a disused airport. A gigantic water tank was built to simulate the effects of the hurricane in the 3D movie. With the production company, Fox, pulling out all stops, the shoot seemed so easy. As Irrfan averred, money was never a problem and the challenge of getting the tiger and the boy together was not as imposing as it had appeared in the beginning. “They had got four tigers from Canada or Russia, but, of course, in the end, it was all about computer graphics.” Irrfan has only a small role to play in the film and unlike the young Pi, who had a physically punishing and dangerous part to do, the older Pi had to grapple with mental challenges. Sharma was merely 16 when he signed for Lee’s first three-dimensional adventure. "After three years, the movie is now complete and being a part of the film has been a life-changing experience," Sharma said during a recent chat. "It has really changed me and how I perceive the entire world in many ways… People say that I have grown up personally after this movie. Like I went there as a 16-year-old boy. Now, sometimes I feel like I am 40 years old." "Earlier, I used to live in my own little shell and everything was small. Now I have realised that the world is this open place with opportunities. Now I know how to deal with situations in a better way and I can work five times harder without it affecting me because I have already worked like that. I've just become more ready for things," Sharma added. Irrfan agreed with this and said in an important way, the shoot itself had been as perilous as the actual story, where the boy kept the tiger alive and the tiger kept the boy alive. For each, the other was not just a distraction, but a point of hope, a point of survival. Pi wanted to outwit and outlive the animal, while it must have probably felt the same about the boy. So, both gave each other some kind of meaning to exist. “Perhaps the tiger would not have lived had it been alone on the boat. It was the presence of the boy that probably encouraged it to continue its fight to find food and sustain itself.” Irrfan felt that it would be very difficult for an Indian director to replicate Lee’s work in Life of Pi. “We are just not prepared for that kind of complexity.” Also, Indian movie companies and helmers are quite content with what they are producing. They have little desire to reach out to an international audience. However, Irrfan hoped that the new crop of directors would learn to understand the grammar of cinema better, in a way that their own films would hold out a great promise of appealing to a world audience. “Yes, funding would still remain an issue”. Irrfan, who has done some extraordinarily interesting roles in equally fascinating films like Pan Singh Tomar, Yeh Saali Zindagi and earlier Maqbool (based on Shakespeare’s Macbeth), is now shooting for Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Sahib Bibi Aur Gangster 2. Part one did not have Irrfan in it and he is stepping into Randeep Hooda’s shoes, who played the gangster. Irrfan is also doing Nikhil Advani’s latest yet-to-be titled work. With Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire, Michael Winterbottom’s A Mighty Heart, Dhulia’s Paan Singh Tomar behind him, Khan is all set to dream big. But those like Tabu who helped him evolve (Maqbool, The Namesake) continue to be in his dreams. During a recent promotional campaign for Life of Pi in Chennai, when Tabu said that she appears in Lee’s work much earlier than Irrfan does and does not share screen space with him, the actor had a wonderful rejoinder. “But you are always in my dreams.” I am sure she is, but Irrfan’s dreams must now include still greater performances than what we have already seen. Of course, I have little doubt about this. Source: Hindustan Times

What keeps Sridevi glowing at 49?

Sridevi is fit as a fiddle at 49, and the reason behind it, she says, is the right diet, power yoga and the quality time she spends with her two daughters. "I believe whatever is inside, reflects on your face. I hate fried and junk food. Being happy and in a good state of mind, thinking positive really makes a difference. I love power yoga and love to play tennis with my children, maybe that is the reason," Sridevi said here. She spoke on the sidelines of the launch of Society Interiors magazine's special issue, which features her on the cover. The actress is ready to make a comeback to the big screen after 15 years. She stars in "English Vinglish", directed by filmmaker R. Balki's wife, Gauri Shinde. Revealing the reason why she took up the project, Sridevi said: "I signed this movie because of the script. I fell in love with the script and of course, I loved Balki's previous films like 'Paa' and 'Cheeni Kum' and I thought the audience would relate to the subject like I do. I am praying that everybody is going to love it." "English Vinglish", about a housewive's struggle to learn English, is slated to release Oct 5. It will premiere at the Toronto Film Festival Sep 14.

After Batman, Warner Bros. hunts for next super hero

Warner Bros. movie "The Dark Knight Rises" is expected to do big business when it hurtles into theatres this weekend, ending an era for one of Hollywood's most-enduring franchises. For the studio's executives, it's also a superhero-sized challenge to find a new movie franchise capable of wearing Batman's cape. The Time Warner-owned studio has been Hollywood's King of Franchises for years. In the last decade, it generated worldwide ticket sales of $12 billion from its "Lord of the Rings," "Batman," and "Harry Potter" films. Eight of the 20 highest-grossing films of all time come from one of those franchises, according to website Box Office Mojo. "The Dark Knight Rises" will be the last of the Batman series that began in 2005, says director Christopher Nolan. "Harry Potter," Warner Bros.'s biggest franchise, ended last summer with the largest of eight films, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2," that generated $1.3 billion worldwide. Franchise films are especially important to studios, who use the big-budget films to create theme park rides, sell toys and spawn TV shows. Warner Brothers is counting on a pair of "Hobbit" movies to rekindle the magic of "Lord of the Rings", the first of which hits theatres in December. A reboot of the "Superman" franchise is also scheduled for next summer, "Man of Steel," that is being made by "Dark Knight" producer Legendary Pictures. Nolan, one of Hollywood's hottest directors, is a producer on that film. The films could pave the way for Warner to unite Batman, Superman and other characters from its DC Comics stable in a "Justice League" movie, said Gitesh Pandya, editor of website Box Office Guru. That would follow the strategy that brought staggering success to Walt Disney Co with "The Avengers." The movie that brought together a handful of Marvel superheroes has already generated nearly $1.5 billion in worldwide sales. One problem for Warner Bros. is that not every DC Comics character has been a oversized hit, Pandya said.Last summer's "Green Lantern" didn't work very well, he said, grossing $219.8 million. Some industry watchers said the movie cost $200 million to produce, though Warner has disputed that figure. Studios receive about half of box office sales. The 2006 "Superman Returns" also disappointed, Pandya said. The aim is to create another series like Batman, which won critical acclaim, fan devotion and $1.4 billion in ticket sales for "Batman Begins" in 2005 and 2008's "The Dark Knight." Opening weekend ticket sales for "Dark Knight Rises," which cost $250 million to produce, should at least match the last Batman film, according to box office forecasters. That film grabbed $158 million in the United States and Canada, a record at the time and still the highest debut for a movie that wasn't boosted by higher-priced 3D tickets. Weekend sales could reach as high as $198 million, just shy of the $207 million record set by "Avengers" in May, some industry analysts say. Even with a big haul for the "Dark Knight" films, "you need the secondary characters" beyond the well-known Superman and Batman, to pull off a massive performance like "The Avengers," said Evercore Partners analyst Alan Gould. Marvel Studios, now owned by Disney, executed a nearly-flawless multi-year plan to stir excitement for the characters that united in "Avengers," Box Office Guru's Pandya said. Two "Iron Man" movies built a following for that character, and "Thor" and "Captain America" starred in their own films. Beyond superheroes and the "Hobbit," Warner also intends to bring "The Hangover 3" to theatres next summer, the next instalment in the adult comedy series that has grossed $1 billion. "We are well on the road to quite a number of franchises," said Dan Fellman, president of theatrical distribution for Warner Bros. "We are in great shape."Source: San Daily Times
