According to recent reports, both Mark Ruffalo and Scarlett Johansson seems to have already signed their contracts to star in musical A Song Can Save Your Life?. After signing his contract Scarlet, it seems that Oscar nominee Mark Ruffalo also has been hired to do the leading male role in the new direction of John Carney.

The film tells the story of a girl who decides to move to New York in order to become a renowned singer. Not travel alone, because her boyfriend accompanies you wherever he goes. But it all backfires and is the boyfriend who becomes a big star and leaves, having to sing alone in a bar. There, a producer who is no longer on the crest of the wave will discover that this girl has a natural talent and authenticity cream.

John Carney is not only the director of the film, but also the screenwriter. The film is produced and distributed by Exclusive Media and Judd Apatow (Bridesmaids) will executive produce.

Reportedly, the film begins shooting in June this year, although not yet know the location where you set the recording.

This is not the first time we listened to the singing actress, and in 2008 released his first album, Anywhere I Lay My Head, playing covers of Tom Waits. Also worked the following year in the disk songwriter Pete Yorn which bore the name Break Up.

The gesture comes to mean "Fuck you" is not now, both the Greeks and Romans used it when, like us, wanted to insult someone. The truth is that there's something about that gesture is defiant, angry and aggressive. With a "Screw you" you can take for settled conversation, will trash a friendship of years or annoy the guy who almost hits you in an intersection.

In the video entitled The Middle Finger in Movies are collected many movie scenes where we see Brad Pitt, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Jack Black, Jennifer Aniston, Kate Winslet, so moving the finger very lightly.

Although I laughed a lot with the collection, I could not help remembering as they did in Friends . Do you remember the gesture of Ross ?

Asghar Farhadi he demonstrated by Elly About that Iranian cinema was not unique to Abbas Kiarostami, much more popular then. Now with A Separation has established itself as one of the most promising Asian directors by the number of awards that is harvested at various international festivals and become the second Iranian film to obtain a nomination for the Oscar for best foreign film and the first to enter into the category of Best Original Screenplay.

Shot with a neatly strange considering the use of the camera in hand, Farhadi, who was also in charge of the script, portrays in detail and unhurried problems of a society where hard as the Iranian side is not left or the intricacies of justice, in particular, neither the social, religious, or those more universal, even as family breakdown, aggression, anger, injustice.

It seems that the effusive welcome he has given international criticism leaves us no doubt that this is a masterpiece, an incisive look at the society of our time, is this the country that is. The incredible proliferation of films and regurgitated refritados current film may explain the greatness of a film simple, humane, realistic and why both spectators and critics have taken as the fresh air that needs the big screen at least as an option other than . However, personally I dare to swim against the tide a little and express openly that the film I was expecting something else.

Perhaps the problem comes to the expectations given a priori is created when a film is promoted. Since all elements paralinguistic, and linguistic course, you will develop the ability of a given story. Of course it would be totally naive if he expected because the film separation carry the word in its title, that have to talk specifically. Farhadi concentrated so hard on the characters who somehow ends up blurring the protagonists. Interpretations of Maadi and Leila Hatami Peyman are in shadow, they look cool thanks to the extraordinary power stage gives the principal characters as Sareh Bayat, and even his own daughter Sarina Farhadi, who plays the couple's daughter, a silent witness and painful drama, the real victim of the conflict.

The separation here is used as a trigger of another type of conflict different from the separation itself. Although we are told in the opening scene why the desire to divorce Simin, the director does not stop to tell us about the couple but the dire consequences that this decision ends up trigger. From there, a fact caused by anger will lead to discussions, many, all the time, with the strength to yell that the problems are many, are serious, serious.

And that's where I end up personally disconnected from history. Such are the readings that you could do like movies could thread starting the initial conflict. Undoubtedly Farhadi's expertise to portray the tension, ambientarnos within that world in which the characters move and how they interrelate yet lacks the skill needed to settle the account and cause an identification with the characters that allows us to thrill with what happens. Want to tell us about the insufferable bureaucracy of justice in which one must fight on their own, without lawyers understood, discussing as they would the brothers against parental authority?, Speaking out of lies and how this can be a tremendous sin within religious concepts governed by the Koran?, will you tell us about how Simin regrets that her husband does not mind if she stays or goes? what if it still complains that love a man to lose trial to lead to crime?.

I know, many would acometerme, and surely they will, with all possible answers. After all so there is the story, like life itself in which sometimes happens to us all at the same time, something ends up creating a chain of circumstances uncontrollable. But the risk of sounding mediocre, and perhaps who has not understood at all, so hard now start here, then there gave me no chance at all interested by what was happening. The accelerated pace at times, by others, I paid extremely contemplative boredom, why deny it.

I missed the depth of the dialogues that Farhadi was able to develop at About Elly constituting the music that almost no film, ability to raise a simple story grand unpretentious. A separation continues to be a movie to watch, I appreciate the hand austere but certain of the director to create scenes that do not leave yet easy to hit and to reach the audience, after all the majority, they loved it that counts.

Landslide at the Berlinale last year, this is a film that is sure to win the heart of the Academy released a forecast that a little rushed because I have not had a chance to see their foreign competitors. But despite his pace a bit messy for my taste I recognize a lot of strength in some places, an excellent end raised, the kind that needs no words or gestures to be understood, that kind of climate and achievement is what I would have liked see solidly over two hours.

Few infant prodigies of film and television after a character or iconic scene they have developed a good race until today. Haley Joel Osment still bears, and possibly take over your life, the stigma of that scene in The Sixth Sense in which he wrapped up his nose scared declared the famous Bruce Willis I see dead people. His career since that time has not stopped to develop if we count the times he has lent his voice to the video game series Kingdom Hearts, but it was not until 2003 that we saw in a film produced by a major studio like New Line is Cinema in the film Secondhand Lions with Michael Caine and Robert Duvall.

Since then his roles seem to have been routed by the challenge of film rather independent or smaller studies such as the Home of the Giants in 2007 or last year in Montana Amazon. Well, the young actor who already has 24 years, recently premiered at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival an enjoyable comedy drama called Sassy Pants born a short written and directed by Shon Coley, an actress, now director, who fights to see your film distributed after mass had an excellent reception at the festival and to have an award at Sundance in 2009 when he was still short.

The odd thing is that even film from a director of a novel and very limited budget, features a cast conspicuously known for such independent circuit. Along with participating Osment Anna Gunn, Dietrich Bader, Martin Spanjers and great Jenny O'Hara, which many will remember for Mystic River and a tip of successful roles in different series as NCSI, Dr. House, Nip / Tuck or Six Feet Under .

Sassy Pants tells the story of Bethany, a recent graduate girl who lives with his brother and a controlling mother who has forced her to complete studies at home. Dreaming of independence from oppressive family environment, her mother falls to complete his studies at a distance, via online, and that coupled with a love that her mother objects, causing his sudden flight to the trailer where his father lives with her partner , a boy about her age played by Osment.

On the occasion of his presentation at the festival in Santa Barbara, Collider has posted a great interview in which we can know what it meant for the young actor playing a role totally different from those made ​​so far.

I've played other characters that I added features of people I knew but this just tried to understand why Chip from script does things he does. It is not true to Dale, but still wants to be with him and goes with him to Mexico. There was something free-spirited in his attitude to me was very easy.
What's so cliché these magical characters is the gay friend who has all the answers and Chip is not that kind of people. He just does the best he can for her friend. The fact that Bethany is surrounded by all these people so different, that help both as obstacles, but trying to do the best they can, is really what makes it so real and yet uncomfortable. I feel I've done a good job when you think of the character but to interpret people say, oh, I have met someone like that. That's when you feel like you've done well.

In the words of one director the film has not yet distributed to someone who has toured various festivals with success but still in search of someone who trusted in the film. Osment plays a character not to be center of history, his speech is reduced to about five or six scenes, but surely many would pay to see an actor's performance much more play than we've seen so far. The real protagonist of the story is Ashley Rickards, actress best known for television series such as American Horror Story or One Tree Hill.

As we can see in the trailer below, is a story tinged comedy-drama that looks really interesting and would seem to entertain as well as thrill. Will tell if we have the joy of seeing her on the big screen or at least in a direct output to DVD.
