Johnny Depp, Deneuve in a tracksuit & a Buddhist Sasquatch
I'm combining two weeks worth of DVD releases again today as there weren't enough releases this week to warrant a separate post. These titles then cover the DVD releases for July 12th & 19th.
I'll start with 'Rango' a new animated kids movie from Nickelodeon/Paramount. I'm basically suspect of most kids movies not made by Pixar as adult entertainment, but I really dug this movie. Rango is a terrarium-living pet chameleon who finds himself stranded in the middle of the desert. After receiving cryptic advice from a philosophical armadillo, he ends up in the tumbleweed town of Dirt, populated by gun-slinging reptiles, amphibians, rodents and birds. The town's water is mysteriously drying up and they're in need of a hero, so Rango ends up becoming town sheriff despite his complete lack of experience or bravery.
The animation is pretty amazing. Apparently, unlike in most animated films where they make the film and then add voiceover on top, in this film they had the voice actors act the lines while they spoke them, filmed them acting and then animated their actions. Maybe that's why the voices seem to match the characters so well. The voice talent is really great, which helps. Johnny Depp is Rango and the rest of the cast includes top notch actors like Alfred Molina, Bill Nighy, Harry Dean Stanton, Ray Winstone, Timothy Olyphant & Abigail Breslin. It's directed by Gore Verbinski of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise, but don't hold that against him. He's obviously a big fan of Westerns because this film lovingly references many of the great films of the genre. A really fun film.
I'll move now in the opposite direction from kids to thriller/horror films. 'The Lincoln Lawyer' is a tidy little thriller starring Matthew McConaughey ('Time to Kill'), Marisa Tomei ('Cyrus') and Ryan Phillippe ('Cruel Intentions'). McConaughey plays a sleazy LA defense attorney who works out of the back of his Lincoln Town Car (hence the title) and who is thrilled to land a case with a rich boy accused of rape & murder (Philippe). Philippe, back from a long absence, is great as the creepy client and McConaughey seems to be trying to actually act again instead of just smirk & look good with his shirt off. Marisa Tomei plays his ex-wife and it's nice to see her back on casting directors' radar again. I have not a lot of interest in McConaughey, but I was actually pretty gripped by this movie.

Well, Johnny Depp remembers it fondly. His production company and Disney plan to make a movie of the show. And, in a second collaboration, Johnny and Disney will make a film about Paul Revere. You get one guess who might play the lead in both.
How can a movie with Binoche, Dench and Johnny Depp (who plays a version of himself as the seductive gypsy who steals Vianne's heart) feel so shallow? Shouldn't it be a gargantuan philosophical study of something? Remember this was back in the days
