Gentlemen Prefer Blondes Trailer

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes Trailer


Anita Loos's old story from the 1920s about a pair of single women in search of husbands gets a makeover in Howard Hawks's 1953 musical, starring Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe as friends who go to Paris looking for mates. The film is charged by Hawks's stylish snap, a famous set piece or two (Monroe descending that staircase while singing "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend"), Russell's wit, and songs by Leo Robin and Jule Styne. The film may largely be a fluff project best remembered as a showcase for its leading actresses, but then Monroe and Russell rarely got such extended opportunities to prove that they were more than cinematic icons. --Tom Keogh

Seven Year Itch Trailer

Seven Year Itch Trailer


A married man, left alone throughout a hot summer, fantasizes madly concerning the impossibly beautiful lady living within the upstairs apartment. When the girl is Marilyn Monroe, such fantasies are the things of epics, and therefore the Seven Year Itch could be a memorable laugh machine. Tom Ewell, repeating his role from George Axelrod's Broadway hit, plays the itchy protagonist, whose vivid imagination gets the higher of him. When Monroe finally comes downstairs and becomes friends (confiding, among alternative things, that she keeps her lingerie within the icebox during this hot weather), imagination meets reality in a very merciless attack on the male libido. Ewell's crack timing is matched by Monroe's zesty comic aptitude, and therefore the scene within which her white dress is blown skyward by a passing subway train has entered the encyclopedia of nice movie pictures. Director Billy Wilder custom-made the play with Axelrod; if the film isn't one among Wilder's signature works (Some am fond of it Hot and therefore the Apartment would soon follow), it's nevertheless a smoothly crafted comedy.

Up in the Air

Directed by Jason Reitman
Average customer review:


Up in the Air


Up in the Air transforms some painful subjects into smart, sly comedy--with just enough of the pain underneath to give it some weight. Ryan Bingham (George Clooney) spends most of his days traveling around the country and firing people; he's hired by bosses who don't have the nerve to do their layoffs themselves. His life of constant flight suits him--he wants no attachments. But two things suddenly threaten his vacuum-sealed world: his company decides to do layoffs via video conference so they don't have to pay for travel, and Bingham meets a woman named Alex (Vera Farmiga, The Departed), who seems to be the female version of him… and of course, he starts to fall in love. Writer-director Jason Reitman is building a career from funny but thoughtful movies about compromised people--a pregnant teen in Juno, a cigarette-company executive in Thank You for Smoking. George Clooney has a gift for playing smart men who aren't quite as smart as they think they are (Michael Clayton, Out of Sight).

An adolescent named Max has an active imagination, and he will throw fits if others don't go along with what he wants. Max - following an incident with Claire (his sister) and her friends, and following a tantrum which he throws as a result of his Mother paying more attention to her boyfriend than to him - runs away from home. Wearing his wolf costume at the time, Max not only runs away physically, but runs toward a world in his imagination. This world, an ocean away, is inhabited by large wild beasts, including one named Carol who is much like Max himself in temperament. Instead of eating Max like they normally would with creatures of his type, the wild things befriend Max after he proclaims himself a king who can magically solve all their problems. (IMDB)

(500) Days of Summer

In this quirky romantic comedy about love and fate, a young greeting card writer (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is hopelessly, helplessly searching for the girl of his dreams...and his new co-worker, Summer Finn (Zooey Deschanel), may just be “the one.” But the 500 days of their offbeat relationship reveal (in no particular order) that the road to happiness can be unpredictable, uncontrollable—and unbelievably funny!
