- Neverland : Peter Pan's writer life. Already out in lots of Country, like the United States.
Costumes interest = 3 out of 5. Edwardian. Demodé's Kendra saw it.
- Star Wars : yeah ! costumes !!! Anyway, you already know it would be lame, and won't (never ever) fulfilled your (my) hopes, so costumes is the only reason you have to go see that movie !
Costumes interest = 5 out of 5. Ok, the dresses of Amidala are pregnancy dresses, and bizarre to reproduce and wear if you're not pregnant yourself, but hey ! what's the difference with other Amidala Costumes ?!
- The Brothers Grimm : I already love Matt Damon's outfit (dressing like an Incroyable is my secret dream, you didn't know ? :) ), and Monica Bellucci had an incredible Fairy Tale Dress. And when I say incredible... Excpect Regency dresses. Hourra !!
Costumes interest = 6 out of 5. Bad point : it only comes out in Xmas 2005 (in France, at least) :(
- Il ne faut jurer de rien : french. An adapation of a play by Alfred de Musset : very romantic author, who write cynical character like nobody. Ths play is a comedy : a young cynic made a bet with uncle to seduce (and sleep with) a young arrogant beauty. The Romantic times of course : 1830s costumes. According to the few I've seen, some of the are hollywood-ized (a bal dress, for exemple, and the use of strange fabrics, like jeans !!! But the overall look seams good.)
Costumes interest = 4 out of 5. I fear a "stage look" : good costumes, but still looking fake.
- Aviator: First : sorry to say that, but I really like the way Leonardo Di Carpaccio plays. No yelling, please !!
That put aside, the movie has good critics and it's a Scorcese movie. Late 20s to late 40s.
Costumes interest = 2 out of 5. The 30s is not the best period, if you ask me, except for Schiaparelli. And wathever dress she'll be wearing, Kate Beckisale'll be painfull.
- Man to man : the first (? I think) Regis Wargnier's movie in english. He had already done costumes in Indochine, but that as the 1950s : only Vietnamian costumes were worth looking. Don't expect a lot of costumes in that 1970s movie : it's a story of pygmees being bring back in Europe, and probably only in the last third of the movie.
As a movie maker, he can be very good (Indochine) or very very very bad (Une femme française).
Costumes interest = let's say 2 out of 5 for the suppose end of the movie (in a zoo) with supposed crowd. Lots of suppositons, anyway.
- The legend of Zorro : expect same thing as in the first.
Costumes interest = 1 out of 5. In the first, they rented the costumes, didn't they ?
- The New World : the conquest of the New World and Pocahontas. I will see it for Christian Bale only.
Costumes interest = 0,5 out of 5. Ethnic (Pocahontas...) and for men. But Christian Bale being stunning and gorgeous in everything he wears, expect stunning and gorgeous male costumes :)
- Oliver Twist : Polanski made some great great movies, and when they were costumed (Pirates, Le bal des vampires, Chinatown, etc), you cried of joy in the theaters. Then expect some tears-inducing 1830s cockney London costumes.
Costumes interest = 5 out of 5. Of course.
- Joyeux Noël : french. During WW1, german and french soldiers made a brief armistice to celebrate 1914 Xmas together. Inspired by a true story, of course. Expect a german opera singer and uniforms, uniforms, uniforms.
Costumes interest = 2 out of 5. Opera singer costumes can create the real surprised of the movie.
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire : costumes ? Yule Ball !! And think Fleur Delacour in lamé dress.
Costumes interest = 1 out of 5. Except for the Yule Ball, there is no more surprise in HP costumes.
- Les âmes grise : french. Sordid murder story in a little french town during WW1. Directed by Yves Angelo who directed The Colonel Chabert, which had FABULOUS FABULOUS costumes. Hope he kept the same costumer.
Costumes interest = 5 out of 5. Most expected with Brothers Grimm, and Star Wars (only for the costumes).
- The Cinderella Man : with such a title for a boxe movie, and Russel Crowe and Renée Zelwegger, I'm afraid. Between the wars costumes.
Costumes interest = 1 out of 5. I said I was afraid.
- Le parfum de la dame en noir : french. Sequel of Le mystère de la chambre jaune. (Both adapted from Gaston Leroux's Book : you now, the autor of the true "fantom of the opera"...). I didn't see the first movie (on my rent-a-movie list), but if I remember the trailer, the action was set in the 20s (in the book, it's titanic/WW1 area), with a little kitsh touch : a director choice. The second movie should be in the same vein.
Costumes interest = 3 out of 5. The 20s are naturally a little bit kitsch.
- Tim Burton's Corpse Bride : Anime, but it could be amusing to reproduce some of the "bustle" (?) dresses :)
Costumes interest = just a joke.
- Ray : the life of Ray Charles. An history of 20th century costumes ?
Costumes interest = 2 out of 5. But I'm not really interest. Movies about singers always have very ugly scene gowns and tuxedos.
- Kingdom of Heaven : the Crusades. Armors, medieval garbs, Middle East costumes and Eva Green, the only french actress that can have a decent international career because of her very hollywoodian name (except that it's not a pseudonym, but a swedish, or finish or something name, and it's pronounced "graine", eheh) as a palestinian princess.
Costumes interest = Er... 1 out of 5. Crusades means really a LOT of armors !
- Bandidas : Western Mexic, with Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz. Deirected by two norvegian advertisings directors. Prouced by Luc Besson.
Costumes interest = Expect the worse.
- Un Fil à la patte : french. Adaptation of a George Feydeau's play. A Vaudeville writer of the 19th century for a move that seams to be set in the 18th. More libertine ? Wait and see.
Costumes interest = 1 out of 5. From the first picture, fabrics (and trims, to be more specific) really sucks (for 18h).
- Gabrielle : french. Adaptation of a book of Joseph Conrad, by Chéreau (La Reine Margot). In costumes ??
Costumes interest = ???
- The others I won't even try to consider as costumed movies : Electra, Iznogoud, Fantastic Four, Batman Begins, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (there is only Willie Wonka, er..., red thing), The life aquatic of Steve Zissou, etc.
Costumes interest = 3 out of 5. Edwardian. Demodé's Kendra saw it.
