Is he completely dead?
Watch Gravity Online If you’re like me, this has already convinced you to ignore Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy and to actively forget there is any form of this story where Darcy doesn’t live to a ripe old age with our hapless heroine. But this terrible news has got me wondering what this could mean for the third Bridget Jones movie. Reports for a third installment first surfaced in 2009, back before talk of a third book even existed. At the time, it looked like Bridget Jones 3 would focus on Bridget’s quest to have a baby. The last update we got on the project came in February of 2012, when the production schedule was put on hold over script issues. While the plotline for Bridget Jones 3 is still unconfirmed, there’s several reasons to believe it won’t follow Fielding’s depressing as lead.
Watch Runner Runner Online First off, there’s the rumored baby-having plot line, which seems to be supported by the IMDB page for Bridget Jones’s Baby. But take that title with a grain of salt as IMDB isn’t the most reliable source on the web. Still, it seems very unlikely Bridget’s third movie will follow her third book. For one thing, the 44-year-old Renée Zellweger in no way looks 51. Plus, all reports about Bridget Jones 3 promoted the reuniting of Zellweger with Colin Firth (as Darcy) and Hugh Grant (as the cad Daniel Cleaver) and have breathed not a word about a new love interest, toy boy or otherwise. So, deep breaths Jones fans, it looks highly unlikely Bridget’s third movie will kill her one and only. Of course, there’s also the possibility that Bridget Jones 3 may not happen at all.
Watch Rush Online The U.K. newspaper The Sunday Times reports that Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, the long-awaited third diary of Fielding’s beloved Bridget, begins with the heartbreaking reveal that Darcy died in a car accident five years prior to the book’s beginning. Forget the hopeful happily ever after the end of book two promised, leaving us with Bridget giddily engaged to the man she adores and planning on babies. He’s dead, and Bridget is left to raise their children while “rediscovering romance with a toy boy while obsessing about her Twitter followers as well as her weight and wrinkles.” Bridget Jones has gone from wanton sex goddess to cougar. To quote Bridget, “Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!”
Watch Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 Online Like Father Like Son centers on the struggle two families encounter when a hospital confesses that their six-year-old boys where switched at birth. While this premise might easily lend itself to melodrama and a string of heart- wrenching scenes of hysterics, Kore-eda keeps things calm by focusing on one of the fathers, Ryota (Masaharu Fukuyama), who is dedicatedly pragmatic and stern. These attributes plus an undying diligence at work are things he has long tried to instill in his son Keita (Keita Ninomiya). But despite regimented piano lessons and solemn lectures about duty and bravery, Keita is a sweet and cheery boy defined by his kindness, not discipline. Ryota complains to his wife Midori (Ono Machiko) that kindness is a weakness in this world, but it is Keita's kindness that ends up proving pivotal as the plot progresses.
Watch Insidious Chapter 2 Online Finding the boy they have raised is not theirs biologically, Midori is shattered, and can’t imagine swapping Keita for her blood son, no matter what the hospital suggests. Ryota on the other hand finally finds an explanation for why this boy is so disappointing to him, and is curious what his real son is like. However, any illusions of the perfect progeny are rattled when he meets Keita's biological parents, who repulse Ryota to his core. Where he and Midori are upper middle class, sophisticated and educated, Yudai (Lily Franky) and his wife (Yôko Maki) are working class, and a bit crass and slovenly by comparison. Yudai is always running late, ever draped in wrinkled clothes and uncombed hair, and repeatedly wonders aloud how much money the hospital will pay them for this ghastly mistake. Ryota cringes at the thought of his son--biological or adopted--being raised by this goofball, and begins to wonder if he can't keep both.
Watch Spring Breakers Online The families experiment with what it would mean to swap sons by play dates that give way to sleepovers. While Ryota's emotional journey drives the film, director Kore-eda deftly gives windows into how each of the parents and sons is experiencing this world-shifting situation, revealing hope, tenderness, and grief. The boys’ grandparents weigh in on different sides. Midori’s mother recounts a time when war demanded people take in orphans, and how this built new families. But Ryota’s father—who has notably remarried—insists blood defines us, and it can't be ignored no matter how convenient. But in the end, it’s not just up to the parents to decide what family is. It’s also up to these six-year-old sons. Without spoiling the ending, allow me to say Kore-eda has built a beautiful movie with conclusion that is well earned and deeply moving.
Watch Kick Ass 2 Online Between its emphasis on father-son relationships and humane treatment of characters confronting a maddening scenario, it's easy to see why Steven Spielberg bought the film's remake rights following its Cannes premiere. Here's hoping the could-be remake takes the risk of making the main character as grimly unlikeable as Kore-eda has, as it makes for fantastic rewards in this thoughtful drama's finale. Like Father Like Son will screen on September 30th and October 2nd at the New York Film Festival. Kore-eda will appear in person at a Q&A following the screening on the 30th. The clip below for Matthew Johnson’s The Dirties is NSFW due to language, but it’s also worth pointing out that this is a film about a violent response to bullying, and this scene appears to be the inception of the central duo’s plan. It’s pretty dark is all I’m saying.
Watch Beautiful Creatures Online Over the course of countless newspaper columns, two books and two cheeky romantic comedies, the chubby, clumsy and deeply daffy Bridget Jones has won the hearts of audiences worldwide. But Helen Fielding, the author of the Pride and Prejudice-inspired Bridget Jones’s Diary and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason has decided that her leading lady doesn’t get the happy ending with broody barrister Mark Darcy we’d all hoped for. Instead, this plucky protagonist is left a widowed mother of two at age 51. It’s time for a good long cry because Mark Darcy is dead.
After its last delay, Working Title Films insisted the movie would shoot by the end of 2012, which obviously didn’t happen. Then just last spring Firth was asked about the movie’s chance of rising again, and he told The Chicago Sun Times:
“Unfortunately, it might be a bit of a long wait. I wouldn’t say that it’s completely dead in the water, but the way it’s going you might be seeing Bridget Jones’ granddaughter’s story being told by the time we get there. … There is a joy of doing those movies that keeps hope alive. And the story is going in an interesting direction. I just wouldn’t say that the movie is imminent.”What defines family: shared blood or shared experiences? This is the complicated question posed in Hirokazu Kore-eda's thought-provoking drama Like Father Like Son (or Soshite Chichi ni Naru in its native Japan). As you might suspect, the film, which has already drawn notice at Cannes, taking home the Jury Prize at the prestigious film festival, gives no simple answer. Instead Kore-eda creates a narrative that is intellectually sharp and emotionally profound by exploring this tricky terrain across gender, class and generational lines.
