Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Posted on 16/06/2010
Once upon a time, in 1989, the first Prince of Persia videogame, created by Jordan Mechner for the Software House Bruedeberg and developed for Apple II, was acclaimed as a revolutionary game. For the first time in a platform game, the main character was animated with rotoscoping technique, with complex, realistic and soft movements, never seen before and raising up the visual standards of the entire videogame industry.
Fantastic Mr. Fox: Wes Anderson, Roald Dahl and the Stop-Motion
Posted on 30/04/2010
The relationship through Roald Dahl and cinema is quite strange. Despite his books for children were among the all time bestsellers since the Forties, the first adaptation from Dahl is Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, released in 1971 and written by Dahl himself.
Movies’ adaptations from Dahl’s books begin to proliferate after his death, in the Nineties, and they are quite good movies: The Witches (1990) by Nicholas Roeg, Matilda (1996) by Danny De Vito, James and the Giant Peach (1996) by Henry Selick, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, (2005) by Tim Burton, and the unsuccessful cartoon The BFG by Brian Cosgrove.
The most recent adaptation from Dahl, Fantastic Mr. Fox by Wes Anderson, which has released in the Italian theaters on April 16, is a high budget cartoon and marks the exciting meeting between two strong personalities, with very different careers and artistic paths.
How to Train your Dragon: Monsters VS Vikings?
Posted on 24/03/2010
Unexpectedly, the Vikings became trendy lately; in fact, in the past they were main characters in few and forgotten movies such as The Vikings by Richard Fleischer, The Saga of the Viking Women and Their Voyage to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent by Roger Corman or the unsuccessful Erik the Viking by the former Mony Python’s Terry Jones. We’d like to mention also the comic strip Hagar the Horrible (1973) by Richard Browne and the anime Vicky the Viking (1974) by Studio Zuiyo. But in the last two years the Vikings appeared in the ambitious b-movie Outlander by Howard McCain, ruined by the crisis of Weinstein Company, and in the critically acclaimed Valhalla Rising by cult Danish director Nicholas Winding-Refn.
