But Joey the gaff will take things in hand

"my own Love song" of Olivier Dahan

with Renée Zellweger, Forrest Whitaker, Nick Nolte, Madeline Zima. 1: 45.

Former rock singer, Jane (Renée Zellweger) is stuck in a wheelchair after a car accident in which her husband was killed. His only friend is Joey (Forrest Whitaker), a sweet met with bellboy hospital alternating phases of violence and depression. In addition, Joey has a serious tendency to miss all that it undertakes and accumulate disaster. Jane is folded on itself; She stopped singing, composing, even responding to letters from his son, which has been entrusted to a wealthy family of home. When he sends an invitation to attend its communion, she refuses to go. But Joey the gaff will take things in hand. For the better and for worse. Against his will, Jane takes the road, while Joey, faithful to itself, is repeatedly threaten the success of the business. This road-movie alternates the good and the less good. Touching and funny, it is illuminated by the aura of Renée Zellweger and Forrest Whitaker (which you can add the always spectacular Nick Nolte). However, Olivier Dahan avoid the pitfalls of the sentimentality and the mélo. Some ideas of staging fall flat; some characters verge on caricature; special effects are redundant. The signed original band Bob Dylan is a marvel.

"Ajami", to Scandar Copti and Yaron Shani

Shahir Kabaha, Ibrahim Frege, Fouad Habash, Youssef Sahwani, Ranin Karim, Eran Naim, 1 pm.

The Festival de Cannes 2010 barely tip the nose (know the selected April 15), that one of the shocks of 2009 (Camera d'Or, special mention), fate finally on the screens. In the meantime, he collected five ophirs (Israeli Oscar) and a nomination in Hollywood in the category best foreign film. It is justice. Ajami is a popular Jaffa, Israel neighbourhood, where difficult to live together Jews, Muslims and Christians. The danger is palpable, violence patent. It follows the destinies cross Omar, young Israeli Arab who risks death in a clan war, unless he is able to raise a sum of money much too high for him. Palestinian refugee Malek, is a clandestine worker came together what pay the heavy operation that her mother needs to live. Dando, Israeli COP, wants to avenge the death of his brother military which the body has been found. Boys like girls that separates religion. The drug flows. Their first film, Scandar Copti, which grew out of a Christian Arab family, and the Israeli Yaron Shani, planted their cameras in this area to all traffic. They asked people to take control of all the roles of the film. The result, got excited, virtuoso, depressing, is remarkable.

"Together we will live a very, very great love story", by Pascal Thomas

with Marina Hands, Julien Doré, Guillaume Galienne. 1: 39.

It is hair stylist, dressmaker. They are, it goes without saying, young and beautiful. Between the Charente and Paris, they will live a "very, very great love story", with what it means passion, events, tears and misunderstandings. Pascal Thomas interrupted his adaptations of Agatha Christie to achieve an ambitious and offbeat entertainment. Filmmaker indeed invented a curious world, an original miniature mixed various times and variegated atmospheres. Tale of Christmas or tinted comedy melodrama, the film borrows at the théâtre de boulevard, in the comic, as burlesque film. For his first role, the singer Julien Doré to pay already the luxury of the defreeze. Guillaume Gallienne dazzles in its composition of mute tailor. In addition, it is quite pleasant to think of cashier in theatres today, hear every day hundreds of spectators make this delicious title.

"The clash of the titans", in Louis Leterrier

with Sam Worthington, Gemma Arterton, Mads Mikkelsen, Alexa Davalos, Ralph Fiennes, Liam Neeson. 1: 47.

V 'the of the peplos, v' the... And the good. In 3D, and more... There the storm in the air between the men and Zeus (Liam Neeson). The latter, upset like a louse, will make alliance with Hades (Ralph Fiennes), which rots in the underworld. Together, they unleashed their wrath on this thankless humanity. His weapon of mass destruction: the Kraken (big, very big cartoon character)! But Perseus (Sam Worthington), a demigod, the son of Zeus and a mortal (at penalty interview, but canon), in revolt against the father, will thwart plans operations in Olympus. Forget sprayskirts of heroes and the devastating hair systems and the simplicity of scenario and the brevity of the dialogues - certainly, it's much - to enjoy to the maximum of the beauty of the landscape, scenery, costumes and special effects of this barbaric Opera. Superb, battle with giant scorpions, the crossing of the desert in the company of strange Tuareg scrap metal eye laser, the passage of the black Styx, combat with the winding Medusa with hair of snakes, Pegasus flight and the final battle against the Kraken. When the technology gives relief to mythology, why go without

"Remember me", from Allen Coulter

with Robert Pattinson, Emilie de Ravin, Pierce Brosnan. 1: 53.

Robert Pattinson, superstar of high schools, escaped from "twilight" time of a melodrama. It interprets a loner, a rebel, a shadowy, an inconsolé: poor little rich in the cœur son broke. One night, it causes a police officer and spent a few hours to the position. For revenge, he will seduce the daughter of the COP. But it also has the broken cœur and love... then the drama. This film without Engineering relies entirely on Pattinson, cabotine much but is sometimes really troubling with its air of James Dean Gothic. At one point, he made the shadow puppets on the bare back of her sleeping friend. Surprised not if your son of sixteen trains on the wall of the show...
