If war broke out between humans and monkeys, the director of The Planet of the Apes 3 said it would look more like a western than a war movie.
The war between humans and monkeys is about to end, but not without a bloodshed before. Three years after the events of The Planet of the Apes 2: The Clash , Caesar is back. And while he was ready to make peace, a human warlord named Colonel (Woody Harreslon) and his army of soldiers decided otherwise. But Caesar is determined not to let go and the fight clearly promises to be brutal and bloody, as shown in the new trailer of The Planet of the Apes 3: Supremacy . However, according to the recent remarks of director Matt Reeves , This third part will focus on Caesar and its evolution and the atmosphere of the film will look more like a western than a war movie . “Something will make Caesar mad. He’s going to be looking for vengeance. The film thus passes from a great war film to a western in the vein of Josey Wales, ” explained the director.
In Jose Wales , the character of Clint Eastwood seeks revenge after seeing his wife and child killed by a man named Captain Terril. Could Caesar lose his wife and son in The Planet of the Apes 3: Supremacy? We absolutely saw no trace of them in the film trailers and this would explain for Caesar is so furious and so prone to eradicate humans. And if the Colonel is behind all this, one does not clearly give away his skin! In any case, that promises a very intense film and surely also very violent, far from the previous statements of the director who confided that The Planet of the Apes 3 would be a film more funny than the previous ones ! It is not clear how, for the moment, But we can not wait to be on August 2 to find out. And you what do you think ?

In addition to good food, they make good films: and if the Italians were good people?

Pasta, pizza, charcut ‘: ok they manage. And it’s not over: we no longer count the great movies that come from the Boot. Ma that, bravissimo!
Roberto Baggio, Alessandro Del Piero, Marco Verratti and so on. Yes, it is true, we can thank the Italians. Pavarotti, Botticelli … Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo … In short, in all fields, from the most to the least cultural and advised to shine in society, they are there. Especially in the history of cinema.
The dolce Vita
When it was released in 1960, it was scandal and vandal dance (sense of where the heat comes …). Basically, Federico Fellini’s film was accused of showing a society of debauchees and idlers through its many episodes during which one follows a journalist to people in Rome. All week long, the guy spends more time and energy to work than to work . In search (unsuccessful) of love. In a society that is still very religious and practicing, there are squeaks. In the end, Palme d’Or of the Cannes festival and mythical work.
Cheetah
Nothing to do with the feline, let’s clear that straight. In this case, the term refers to an aristocrat, in ancient Italy in the mid-19th century. Here it is Don Fabrizio Salina who notes the end of an era and the rise of the new bourgeoisie . A passing torch not so obvious, and the opportunity to take stock, calmly, of his life. Softly huh, since it lasts 3:30. And yeah, adaptation of a novel my friend. Little more for us French: the presence of BG Alain Delon, in the person of Tancred, the nephew. And yes, Palme d’Or, in 1963.
Once upon a time the revolution
Already known and recognized, Sergio Leone we still swing a spaghetti western in full face and we like it. The year 1971 then peacefully unfolds his days, when he emerges his eighth realization, the sixth alone and officially. In Mexico, we discover a kind of buddy movie before the hour, where a diligence plunderer meets an expert in explosives before continuing the project of pointing a bank together . The references are numerous (the scene of the shooting of the revolutionaries imitates the painting of Francisco de Goya Tres de Mayo, for example) and the BO tears. With Ennio Morricone with the controllers, inevitably, it handles.
The Gospel according to St. Matthew
Not necessarily long, a little more than 2h, but in black and white. And above all, a rather serious re-enactment of the gospel, so it’s not the thing where you can stall fat jokes and see pursuit races. Pier Paolo Pasolini reveals Christianity as it is written, faithfully and religiously. And it’s beautiful. Additional argument: it avoids reading the gospel, you gain time . What might not have been the case if the guy had shot the 131 scenes originally planned in the screenplay! Finally 44, a good difference. Probably a wise decision.
The Swagger
A stroll through the Roman suburbs, its countryside and the surrounding seaside during the summer period. Dino Risi takes us on a journey of great beauty (the plans perfectly reflect the landscapes of the area) as he gives us his point of view on the economic miracle of Italy in the 60s . Because behind this road-movie where Vittorio Gassman is as exuberant, free and joyful as Jean-Louis Trintignant is austere, serious and stuck, it is the emptiness of material well-being that is demonstrated to us. It’s cool, it’s funny, but it means above all that the human being is and will remain alone. Whatever happens. A little classic before going to bed tonight?

Red Dead Redemption 2 vs. GTA V: Who will win on the Online?

In the blue corner, the eternal GTA, master of the gangsta genre, and dad of the open world. In the red corner, Red Dead Redemption, cousin of the first, storytelling model and unforgettable memory of Gen PS360 … Round 1, Fight!
At the end of last October, Rockstar finally lifted the veil on one of the most anticipated sequences of the video game world . Big last stand on social networks, minimalist images and ads and teaser in stride: Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released end of 2017 on PS4 and Xbox One and will be a prequel to the first episode. The editor has therefore decided to put a santiag back into the high plains of the Far West, and the first images seem already to put full the mirettes. But since, not a cloud of smoke on the horizon. The speculation is going well, and the desperado who hopes to assault this iron horse of hypotheses does not seem to know yet to tie a colt to his belt. We will not feed in these columns the machine, so much the fantasies of the pistoleros in grass mix with the rumors of the plates. What will Red Dead Redemption 2 be ? The coming months will answer this question, let us keep our heads cool and our hands weighted. However, – because there is one here – it is on the side of the multiplayer that your devoted farmer wants to take you a moment …
What plans are being developed by Rockstar and Take-Two ? What treasure will the players get out of the meadow? At this point, it is important to emphasize some basic facts. Red Dead’s first name had a multiplayer mode . The name of Social Club will undoubtedly remind old westerners of good hours on the banks of the Rio Grande, hours marked by jousts, territories to be conquered and clans to integrate. Already it smelled of dust and old sleeves. Then came GTA V . GTA V and its records, GTA V and its mode multiplayer in stand alone: GTA Online . A real success if ever, who even managed to beat his record of players over last December , and to prance in the best sales of the year 2016, more than three years after its release.
The arrival of a new title as expected as RDR2 did of course not fail to trigger questions among the investors of Take-Two … “How? A new game is released while the last one continues to walk? But is not there a risk of self-competition? ” A legitimate question, to which Strauss Zelnick , current CEO of the box, was quick to respond, as VG24 / 7 points out: “I do not think there is any competitive dynamic between our next releases, except that our success will be guided by the quality of our future productions. And I think that the persistent success of GTA Online is also driven by its extraordinary quality . ”
Basically , “as long as our productions are good, there will be room for all” we would be tempted to understand. Zelnick did not stop there, moreover, theorizing in passing on its definition of the entertainment , and the difference between desires and needs , forgetting perhaps an incompressible given in his argument: time. A day keeps 24h, and it is not she who will extend, but the time of play that will be shared between several titles … An argument that ended with an unconditional enthusiasm and a lot of enthusiasm to ensure the full cardboard Announced the next Red Dead. Thus, after boasting the plastic of the game , Zelnick is thus “incredibly excited” by the online offer of RDR2 , which Rockstar will unveil in due course. If it’s a safe bet that the online multiplayer of Red Dead Redemption 2 will draw strongly from that of its cousin GTA, its specificities remain still very mysterious … What kind of multi would you get the sombrero?
