Ferrari (dir. Michael Mann).

There are plenty of swerves and detours to Ferrari's spare Italian drama. Built like an eventual tragedy with an uplifting hopefulness to the real-life fate of its characters, Mann and [Adam] Driver rebuild another sprawling biopic that manages to focus on outracing its turbo-charged mid-century automobiles.

Guy Ritchie's 'The Covenant' Movie and Blu-ray Review

The following review was written by Ultimate Rabbit correspondent, Tony Farinella. Guy Ritchie has had an eventful 2023 with two films being released so far in “Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre” and now “The Covenant.” On paper, it was a film I was looking forward to with great anticipation, as I firmly believe Jake Gyllenhaal is one of the best working actors in Hollywood today.  When I see…

Adam Driver Calls Out Amazon and Netflix in Support of SAG Strike

The actor took the major studios to task and expressed his solidarity with the SAG-AFTRA strike while promoting his new film, Ferrari, at the Venice Film Festival.

Adam Driver may be one of the few American actors walking a red carpet this week, but he is still standing in solidarity with SAG-AFTRA. While attending a press conference to promote his new film, Ferrari, at the Venice Film Festival, Driver called out big studios and streamers like Amazon and Netflix for refusing to meet the actors union’s demands.

“I’m very happy to be here to support this movie, and the truncated schedule that we had to shoot it and the efforts of all the incredible actors working on it and the crew,” said Driver. “But also, I’m very proud to be here to be a visual representation of a movie that’s not part of the AMPTP and to promote the SAG leadership directive which is an effective tactic, which is the interim agreement.”

Driver stars as Enzo Ferrari in Michael Mann’s Ferrari, which follows a year in the life of the Italian motor-racing driver and entrepreneur. Ferrari also stars Shailene Woodley, Sarah Gadon, Gabriel Leone, Jack O’Connell, Patrick Dempsey, and Penélope Cruz as Enzo’s wife, Laura. Ferrari is being distributed by Neon and STX International, two independent companies, and received an interim-agreement waiver from SAG-AFTRA for its stars to attend the Venice Film Festival and do press. At the press conference, Driver said that the waiver helped “stop the bleeding a little bit so people in IATSE [International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees] and SAG can go to work.”

The actor also shouted out Neon and STX for meeting the demands of SAG-AFTRA, which has been on strike against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) since July 14.

“Why is it that a smaller distribution company like Neon and STX International can meet the dream demands of what SAG is asking for—this is pre-negotiations—the dream version of SAG’s wish list, but a big company like Netflix and Amazon can’t?” Driver said. “And every time people from SAG go and support a movie that has met the terms of the interim agreement, it just makes it more obvious that these people are willing to support the people that they collaborate with, and the others are not.”

Driver has worked closely with both Netflix and Amazon before. In 2016, he starred in the Amazon Studios film Paterson, and in 2019 he starred opposite Annette Bening and Jon Hamm in the political thriller The Report, also distributed by the streamer. In 2020, he earned a best-actor Oscar nomination for Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Story, which was released by Netflix. 

Ferrari director Mann also voiced his support for SAG-AFTRA and the WGA at the press conference. “Ferrari got made because the people who worked on Ferrari made it by forgoing large sectors of salaries, in the case of Adam and myself,” said Mann. “It was not made by a big studio—no big studio wrote us a check. That’s why we’re here in solidarity with both unions.”

Great Star Trek Rewatch - TOS Feature Films

Originally posted on Twitter 12-19 January 2021

Star Trek: The Original Series Feature Films are up next in my Great Star Trek Rewatch. As with ENT, DSC, STX, TOS, and TAS, mini-reviews will document my progress.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture: A quintessential Star Trek/Roddenberry story, V’Ger’s quest for the Creator recalls Nomad from “The Changeling.” The visual effects, score, and direction are top-flight, especially given its troubled production. 7/10

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan: Often cited as the best film, it is certainly a classic of Star Trek and science fiction cinema. Ricardo Montalban’s Khan has yet to be bested. James Horner’s score is excellent, often quoted in the sequel. 9/10

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock: Melancholy is the overall tone, until the final few minutes. Not as strong as the preceding or succeeding films, this is still an excellent TOS story. Kruge is an underrated villain. Stealing the Enterprise is a fantastic scene/score. 8/10

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home: The One with the Whales is a fun, lighthearted romp with a timeless environmental message. A crowd pleaser for over 30 years. 9/10

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier: Shatner’s reach exceeds his grasp (and budget), but I’ve yet to see a better portrayal of the core trio’s relationship. The score is excellent; Sybok is charismatic. Sadly, the effects are rough and the supporting crew doesn’t get much to do. 7/10

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country: A poignant and thrilling swan song for the TOS era. The themes of aging and irrelevance first broached in TWOK are fully confronted here. Kirk goes through some major character growth. The perfect cap for Trek's first 25 years. 9/10

And with that, the TOS Feature Films come to an end in my Great Star Trek Rewatch. Final score: 8.17/10. Highest score(s): “Star Trek II,” “Star Trek IV,” “Star Trek VI.” Lowest score(s): “Star Trek: The Motion Picture,” “Star Trek V.”

I've had Warriors on the mind for a while, and I decided to look up what I could find about the movie since it's been ages since I've heard and update, and apparently there was a development in January of this year.

The full Wikipedia artificial on the film, also link;

"On 20 October 2016, Victoria Holmes announced that Alibaba Pictures had bought the production rights for a film adaptation with David Heyman as producer, and a movie poster was released. On 14 May 2018, it was announced that STX Entertainment had come on board to co-produce the Warriors film, with STX board member Gigi Pritzker working alongside Heyman. It was also announced that screenwriters Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger would write the screenplay for the movie. On 25 January 2024, it was announced that Coolabi Group, which Working Partners is a part of, had signed a deal with Tencent Video to create an "animation" of Warriors."

So the movie isn't dead in the water, and it's going to be an animation!! I'm really really hoping they mean 2D animation and not CGI, but if it goes in the style of Guardians of Ga'Hoole that would be nice.

Greenland: cried like a baby

Title: Greenland

Year: 2020

Genre: Action, Thriller

Overall Rating: ★★★★☆ (4 out of 5)

A family fights for survival as a planet-killing comet races toward Earth. John Garrity (Gerard Butler), his estranged wife Allison (Morena Baccarin), and young son Nathan make a perilous journey to their only hope for sanctuary. Amid terrifying news accounts of cities around the world being leveled by the comet's fragments, the Garritys experience the best and worst in humanity while they battle the increasing panic and lawlessness surrounding them. As the countdown to the global apocalypse approaches zero, their incredible trek culminates in a desperate and last-minute flight to a possible safe haven. - STX Entertainment (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7737786/plotsummary/)

Spoilers ahead!!!

Kakanuod ko ng vids sa TikTok, I had the need to re-watch this film. Admittedly, nung una, I just watched this like any other apocalyptic movie. Mas excited ako over the disaster scenes and how they actually try to escape it. However, I was quite surprised with myself nung pinanuod ko siya, specifically, don sa part na almost at the end na. They were already in the bunker and were consoling each other na when the kid asked where the flashes are (you know, sabi nila why you die, life flashes before your eyes), and I started crying when Gerard's character told the kid na it doesn't matter kasi they are together. I imagined myself and Blaire at paano kung kami ung nasa ganong sitwasyon. To be honest, I would have said the same. As long as we are together, we will be okay.

Kung ako lang, di ako takot mamatay. After all that happened, feeling ko quota na ako sa buhay. But, my baby came and I am so blessed. Sometimes, I feel so tired but I need to constantly remind myself na I cannot afford to give up kasi I have a daughter and I want to provide her the life that she deserves. I want her to have better options than what I have. I want her to have the privilege to rest. I want her to have a better life that what I could have lived. So for mommas like me, this is really a good movie. It shows how much we can sacrifice for our babies.

Being an “elder millennial” or “Xelennial” or whatever label you want to call someone born in the 80s that got to play the original Oregon Trail, I got to see a lot of technological transitions. Growing up, we had film cameras. Point and shoots, mainly, with some oddballs here and there (remember those cameras that were flat and long?). At some point while I was a teenager I was gifted a used Fuji STX-2 and I became the family photographer. From that point forward I took more photos than was in them. That camera, sadly, is no longer with me. I’ve since moved on to a Canon K2 and then later a Canon Elan7 which I continue to use today (which is actually my second Elan7 after my first one met with a terrible fate).

I went to film school (the motion kind), but never really got a chance to be a “filmmaker”, for whatever that means, so I use photography as a way to exercise that muscle a bit. Aside from sharing some shots on Flickr and a few things on Instagram, I’ve never really shared my photography with anyone other than my partner, so I’ve not really worked on talking about my process or really looked at my photography objectively. Over the next year my hope is I can start being more thoughtful about the photos I take and forcing myself to write about them here might help with that.

This past month I picked up a Fujica ST801. I mainly bought it for the lenses (I’ve been collecting old, mostly soviet M42 mount lenses), but the camera is actually a fantastic little device. The shutter and the film winding lever are wonderfully mechanical. Given it’s a Fuji camera, I thought it appropriate to start off with a roll of Fujifilm Neopan Arcos 100II as my test roll. Part of the “joy” of eBaying cameras and camera equipment is not fully knowing if what you’re going to get is actually as functional as the post made it seem. In this camera’s case, the light meter is subtly messed up, but I don’t know yet if it’s because something’s actually wrong or if it’s because it’s actually meant for silver oxide batteries and I’m using alkaline. As a result, I ended up having to use a light meter app on my phone. I should probably get that fixed.

Here’s a selected few photos from that roll.

Image 1, the Caltrain station

I've never really shot this stock before despite shooting a lot of black and white film. This stock has a lot of dynamic range and not a lot of grain, which I actually really like. I actually really like this composition, though I keep waffling back and forth on whether I should have tried for a deeper depth of field or if I actually like that the foreground is out of focus.

Image 2, more caltrain station

This is a lot closer to the "style" I normally shoot, quote unquote "street photography". I like the person in the shot, and I like the deep hallway. I don't like that I don't have any of the next train signs in focus. Again, this was a pretty challenging lighting situation, and with a broken meter, I just went with a wider open f-stop.

Image 3, cat on a bombed out metermaid vehicle

As I was walking down the street I saw a flock of metermaid vehicles parked behind a fence, which was interesting enough, but as I got closer, I spotted a cat who seemed to be offended that I made eye contact. The vehicle it was sitting on seemed to be having a rough go at it, what with being burned and all, but it made for a fascinating subject. This is another one where I was impressed by the dynamic range of the film. The cat is well lit, but you don't lose all of the detail in the vehicle either. I actually have three pictures of this cat, but this one stands out the most because of the contrast in the shadow area vs the cat. A+, would potentially offend this cat again.

Image 4, fire rescue racing out of firestation

I don't know if "lucky" is the right word, considering emergency vehicles racing off is typically not a good thing, but I happened to grab this shot while walking by a fire station just as they received a radio call. This is probably the one time I regret having black and white instead of color loaded, but I really like the shadows here and the contrast between the shadow and light sides of the building. The vehicle itself seems to just pop as well. I also like that there's some minor halation on the lightbar, which is not something I was particularly expecting to catch on black and white.

Image 5, aka "this roll is 36, but I'm on shot 38"

Part of the joy of mechanical cameras that don't have any sort of DX code reader or automatic winding is you can sometimes squeeze out more frames than you expect from a roll if you are careful while loading. At the end of my walk I hit a taco truck for lunch, and took this photo, not fully expecting it to work. This was the end of the roll. Like a lot of the other shots from this roll, I'm actually really surprised at the detail you get in the darker areas. The tacos were also delicious.

Conclusion

I'm definitely going to shoot with this camera more this year. The fact that it's slighlty broken means I need to stop and consider my shots a lot more than when I'm out with the Elan with all of it's fancy autofocus and working light meter (and exposure compensation, and...). I actually really like this film stock as well. My usual goto for black and white has been Ilford HP5, but it's super grainy. While that's sometimes the feel I want (photos you can chew), it's nice to have an alternative.
