'Samurai' pokes fun at civilization
In the dictionary of film cool, certain names come up - George Miller ("Road Warrior"), George Romero (" Night of the Living Dead"), Sam Raimi ("Evil Dead" movies), Renny Harlin ("The Long Kiss Goodnight"), Robert Rodriquez ("El Mariachi") and Quentin Tarantino.
Director tells his tale
Remember these two names: Lance Mungia and Jeffrey Falcon. Of course you may have never heard of them, but you will soon. Mungia and Falcon have completed their first film together - "Six-String Samurai" (opening tonight at the Michigan Theater) - and have tons on the horizon. The pair is riding the buzz on "Six-String" and is right on the doorstep of superstardom.
Passion. Betrayal. Death. "La Traviata" contains all of the elements that make for good opera - possibly the reason why Guisseppe Verdi's masterpiece is one of the most performed around the world. Only when the performance is as good as the score does "La Traviata" become superb.
'La Traviata' betrays and thrills
It's a three-hour romance whose lead character just happens to be Death in the human form of Brad Pitt. Swoon. It's a gorgeous spectacle from Martin Brest, Oscar-nominated director of "Scent of a Woman." Gasp in awe.
