"Wenn Brad Pitt (Fight Club, Rendezvous mit Joe Black) nicht für die Rolle des österreichischen Bergsteigers Heinrich Harrer unterschrieben hätte, wäre es denkbar, dass diese aufwändige, 70 Millionen Dollar teure Produktion nie entstanden wäre. Sieben Jahre in Tibet war einer der beiden Filme (neben Martin Scorseses exquisitem Kundun), die sich 1997 den historischen Konflikten zwischen China und Tibet annahmen und sie, durch die Augen de ..."
"Building on the success of his earlier books, Randell L. Makinson joins with Thomas Heinz and Brad Pitt in producing this rich monograph on the Robert Roe Blacker house, the largest and most elaborate of the refined Greene & Greene style. New color photographs provide the first full documentation of the house following its extensive five-year restoration, for which Makinson was the architect. This book has just been released, is already ..."
"Meet Joe Black seemed almost fated to fail when it was released in 1998, but this romantic fantasy--a remake of 1934's Death Takes a Holiday--deserves a chance at life after box-office death. Although many moviegoers were turned off by director Martin Brest's overindulgent three-hour running time, those who gear into its deliberate pace will find that Meet Joe Black offers ample reward for your attention. Brad Pitt plays Death with a c ..."
"A lyrical and nostalgic film from director Robert Redford (Quiz Show, Ordinary People), based on the popular autobiographical novel by Norman MacLean, A River Runs Through It shows the best that modern filmmaking has to offer. The film chronicles two brothers coming of age in early-20th-century Missoula, Montana, under the stern tutelage of their minister father, played by Tom Skerritt (Top Gun). Their father instills in them a love of ..."
"“Architects are not building temporary housing because we are too busy building for the privileged people…. I’m not saying I’m against building monuments, but I’m thinking we can work more for the public.” - Shigeru Ban, Pritzker Prize, 2014In 1994, after seeing photographs of the plastic sheets given to Rwandan refugees to live under, Shigeru Ban went to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to propose ideas for better sh ..."
"You know what they say about favors never ask anyone to do something you wouldn't do yourself! Fromthe director of Mystic Pizza and Miss Congeniality comes a "funny, light-hearted comedy of errors" (LA Weekly) about a woman who learns this lesson the hard way. Starring Elizabeth McGovern (The Handmaid's Tale), Harley Jane Kozak (Parenthood), Bill Pullman (While You Were Sleeping), Brad Pitt (Thelma & Louise) and Ken Wahl ("Wiseguy"), Th ..."
"David Duchovny is a blocked author with a fascination for outlaw killers who hatches a plan to road trip through America's mass-murder landmarks to finish his book. He enlists his frustrated photographer girlfriend Michelle Forbes, who desperately wants to leave the East Coast for L.A., to illustrate the tome, and they advertise for riding partners. Luckily for them, they wind up with a veteran killer, the greasy trailer-park ex-c ..."
"Es schien Rendezvous mit Joe Black fast vorbestimmt zu sein, an den Kinokassen durchzufallen, als der Film 1998 in die Kinos kam. Aber diese romantische und phantastische Geschichte -- ein Remake von Death Takes A Holiday von 1934 (es gibt ein weiteres Remake von 1971) -- verdient eine Chance im Leben nach dem Tod an der Kinokasse. Obwohl viele Kinogänger durch die von Regisseur Martin Brest beabsichtigte dreistündige Spieldauer abgesch ..."

When his personal and professional lives collide, Pistone jeopardizes his marriage, his job life and, ultimately, the gangster mentor he has come to respect and admire. From acclaimed director Mike Newell (Four Weddings and a Funeral), and featuring a ..."
"Es ist der verstörendste und beunruhigendste Serienkiller-Thriller seit Das Schweigen der Lämmer. Dabei basiert Sieben auf einer Idee, die ebenso schaurig wie genial ist: Ein von den sieben Todsünden der Bibel besessener Serienkiller sucht sich ausschließlich solche Menschen als Opfer aus, die seiner Ansicht nach eine dieser Todsünden begangen haben. Er arrangiert jeden Tatort mit großer Akribie und erzeugt am Ort seiner Verbrechen grot ..."

""Wenn du nach Troja gehst, wirst du Ruhm ernten." Diesen Satz aus dem Drehbuch von David Benioff hat Regisseur Wolfgang Petersen vielleicht etwas falsch verstanden. Steht dort doch eindeutig "Wenn du nach Troja gehst" und nicht etwa "Wenn du Troja verfilmst". Hätte man Petersen auf diesen kleinen Unterschied doch vorher aufmerksam gemacht. So aber nahm das Schicksal seinen Lauf und das Drehbuch, das lose auf Homers dichterischer Vorlage ..."
"Wie bereits sein Vorgänger, Ocean`s Eleven, ist auch Ocean`s Twelve kein ernstgemeinter „Caper Movie“ als vielmehr Farce - eine abwegige, zum Teil absurde Geschichte, die erst durch die verlockende Kombination aus beeindruckendem Starglamour und überbordender Inszenierungsfreude seines Regisseurs Steven Soderbergh (Out of Sight, The Limey) zum Leben erwacht. Die durchgeknallten Gaunereien des ersten Teils werden unseren elf Meisterdiebe ..."
"The most viscerally frightening and disturbing homicidal maniac picture since The Silence of the Lambs, Seven is based on an idea that's both gruesome and ingenious. A serial killer forces each of his victims to die by acting out one of the seven deadly sins. The murder scene is then artfully arranged into a grotesque tableau, a graphic illustration of each mortal vice. From the jittery opening credits to the horrifying (and seemingly i ..."
