There are all sorts of sources of inspiration out there. Paintings and pictures can be a powerful in their potential to evoke emotion and thought. Below are five paintings by Joey Paquin, a painter and musician who is lives in Moncton, New Brunswick. He has had his paintings on display in several locations in the city. Please take a look at the pieces I’ve included. Contact if you care to enquire more about them.
-Josh I am excited about Ridley Scott’s (Alien, Gladiator) upcoming “Prometheus”. If you haven’t checked out the trailer yet, do take a look, I’ve included the trailer below. In an interesting attempt to promote the upcoming release, there is a TED presentation from one of the characters from the movie, Weyland, played by Guy Pearce. Take a look for yourself: “...the fire that danced at the end of that match was a gift from the titan, Prometheus. A gift he stole from the gods. When Prometheus was caught and brought to justice for his left, the gods, you might say overreacted a little...” Was that speaking to the discovery of the alien ship and its contents in the “Prometheus” trailer? This little extra might very well add to the depth of the movie. Hopefully it doesn’t disappoint. -Josh Tim Burton fans can rejoice in his return to stop motion video in the vein of the “Corpse Bride” (2005). For those who didn’t know, Frankenweenie actually started off as a short that Tim Burton did in 1984. Take a look at what it looks like now: Presented above is a full length feature which boasts - of course - some 3D. It has potential to pull on the heart strings of those aware of the strong bond between pet and owner. Also, the general style of the movie looks to be charming. While unfortunately my interest in the “Tim Burton” brand has faded a bit for me, this might be something to keep on the radar.
-Josh In the ramp up to Oscar season, many movie selling stores have offered a rack of past Oscar award winning movies. David Cronenberg’s “The Fly” remake was one such Past Oscar award winner – for best makeup. Let me tell you, that Oscar was well deserved. To be fair, Cronenberg’s movies are known for their visuals, as often times brutal as they are (Videodrome, Naked Lunch, Eastern Promises) but as well can be a visual overload for some. “The Fly” (1986) with Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic Park) and Geena Davis (Thelma and Louise) adds romance and turn a good performance in contrasting and balancing out the shock factor.
Here, at a convention, Seth Brundle (Goldblum) invites Veronica, a reporter (Davis) back to his place in attempt to connect with her by baiting her with the idea that he’s invented something that will change the world forever – and what an invention! A teleportation device! When she sees there’s a big story there, she switches gears where their might have been some romance. Seth, who is both attracted to Veronica and fearful that she might disclose his life’s work to the world prematurely, follows up with her after she doesn’t take no for an answer and brings her story to an editor. Thankfully, the editor, and third part of this movie’s love triangle thinks she’s been conned. Seth strikes up a bargain with Veronica and two become partners in finishing his project when after which she could write a book about his findings. Inject romance into their relationship and this sets the stage for a well balanced sci-fi horror that is truly a must watch. As you can imagine, Seth tests his machines’ teleportation capabilities, moving up the ladder from inanimate object to animal testing and finally to human testing. What could go wrong? From the grisly discovery of the teleportation device’s effects on a monkey, to the flesh sloughing finally, this movie will have some squirming in their seats. Goldblum adds a intense and varied performance with the progression of his metamorphosis – That alone may be worth the watch. To top it all off the pacing, atmosphere and music are excellent in setting the scene, bringing the viewer to the wildly dark closing. The fly gets an 8.5/10. |
