Movie Review For Hanna

In Hanna high brow Oscar winning director, Joe Wright, (Atonement, Pride and Prejudice) seems to be trying to prove that he can get down with an action film for the masses. The end result is a very stylized suspense thriller and, while it’s heavy on the action, it’s more of a character study of a sixteen year old girl who was raised with only one objective; to be the perfect killer.

Hanna, the daughter of a murdered C.I.A. operative, is raised in the isolated woods of Finland. The movie’s tagline is “Adapt or Die” and that’s exactly what we see Hanna doing in the movie’s opening minutes. She kills a huge deer with a bow and arrow (and drags it home), speaks several languages and, while “training” with her dad, the student gets the best of the teacher and almost snaps his neck. This is one bad little girl.

Saoirse Ronan plays Hanna. Eric Bana is her dad and Cate Blanchett is the C.I.A. agent who wants to kill them both. Music from The Chemical Brothers adds a driving beat to the film and the 111 minutes flies by before you know it. Even with all the action there’s a lot of humor and adventure as the sixteen year old teenager ventures out of the woods and experiences modern technology, music and dancing and boys for the first time.

Cinematic Discussion: What Makes a Great Female Role Model?

Note : As this cinematic discussion is meant for contemporary audiences, these examples will be equally contemporary. Just as women and men are different, we've all evolved with the times. And one's role model, for the most part, often represents one's contemporary outlook for their future self. Believe it or not, a man can discuss and write about issues of feminism. While some may be woefully ignorant or just banefully uninterested, take notice, guys, you shouldn't be. And not all of us are — completely, anyway. So, with that in mind, there's one particular issue of feminism, of the representation of females, that I want to discuss at the moment: What makes a great female role model? (Of course, as localized to the medium of film.) What are the elements of a female character that should be most sought after by writers hoping to create strong, relatable, fleshed-out characters? What makes the characters who imbue those elements great role models? And what are some...

Where the wild thing are interview.

This may only be his third feature film, but I still think it’s appropriate to call Spike Jonze a visionary filmmaker. His work, both on the big screen and on the small screen (all of his music videos), is some of the most honest, creative, and unique I’ve ever seen. A few weeks back, after seeing Spike’s Where the WIld Things Are, I went to the Beverly Hilton Hotel to interview Mr. Jonze, and he invited me into bed. I’m not even joking - Spike and I got into bed together (not under the covers, of course!) to talk about bringing Maurice Sendak’s beloved children’s book to life on the big screen exactly the way he first envisioned it. I wish I had a photo, or video, to prove that we did this in bed, but I don’t. Spike had been tired from doing press all day and needed to rest, so since we were in a hotel room, he invited me to do the interview in bed. Sure it was a little bit awkward and very intimate, but I felt that was able to talk with Spike in a way that I don’t think most people a...
