PPI passes $1 bil in record time

Indy helps boost Paramount Pics Int’l boxoffice







LONDON -- Paramount Pictures International has passed the $1 billion mark at the international boxoffice since the start of 2008.


The studio-owned overseas releasing arm passed the benchmark tally six weeks faster this year than last in only its second full year of operation.


PPI said it sped past $1 billion in grosses on June 14 "over six weeks faster than its previous record in 2007" which saw PPI go on to gross $1.6 billion internationally.


PPI president Andrew Cripps said the benchmark was down to the "continued growth of the international marketplace, the fantastic films that we have for international distribution, and the first class team we have working for PPI around the world."


The record success has been built on a host of strong boxoffice hits across a diverse range of movies.


Cash flowed in from releases including the return of Steven Spielberg and LucasFilm’s adventurer Indiana Jones in his fourth whip-cracking adventure "Indiana Jones And The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." That film has now grossed over $350 million from international markets with major international territory Japan still to launch the title June 21.


PPI also pushed out "Iron Man" and is releasing "Kung Fu Panda" around the globe.

Tommy & Pam Together Again!

It's hard to keep track of how many times Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee have broken up, only to rekindle their relationship at a later date. And if you listen to the Motley Crue drummer, the love yo-yo is on an upswing for these two.

"We've only given it a try 800 times � 801, here we go!" he jokes to Rolling Stone, confirming that he and the Baywatch babe are indeed a couple once more.

According to Tommy, his ex-wife, who was most recently � and very briefly � married to Vegas scene-maker Rick Salomon, has moved into his home with the two sons they have together, Brandon, 12, and 10-year-old Dylan.

�It�s awesome, man," he says. "It�s definitely working. You can tell on the kids� faces � they�re happy when we�re together.�

Tommy and Pam were married in a surprise ceremony in February, 1995 and divorced three years later. The blonde bombshell was also wed to singer Kid Rock � for about four months.

Let's hope this time, these two are in it for the (relatively) long haul!

My Winnipeg - 6/13/2008

My Winnipeg, the latest walk down memory lane from Canadian maestro Guy Maddin, flirts most flagrantly with commercial appeal and convention. This goes double for a filmmaker who has consistently burrowed himself into the fractured nostalgia of the silent era, peep shows, news reels, and ham-fisted/hard-boiled noirs with nothing but wild-blue-yonder glee. Yet, besides its outset of being a "documentary," there is little familiar about Maddin's wonderscape that isn't hardwired directly into the auteur's stylistic stigmas.



It all starts, as it so often does, on a train. The main character (Darcy Fehr), a rebellious, alternate-reality incarnation of Maddin himself, sleeps and dreams his way through the main avenues, alleyways and inlets of Winnipeg in the business class section of a ghost engine. Desperate to leave the memories of his home burg, he begins remembering his childhood, partly recreates it, and then peppers it with large swigs of fantasized recollections and recreational mythologies.



The Maddin aesthetic has always drifted from honest nostalgia to corrupted apparitions to full-blown fantasia but he has always been, at heart, a storyteller. With Winnipeg, the landscape fractures early: It opens with Maddin directing noir legend Ann Savage as she prepares to play his mother, scolding his older sister for an illicit affair she's had. What follows is a carnivalesque exhibition of destroyed totems of Maddin's youth and an awfully funny rendering of his home life as the runt of the litter, not much bigger than the pug he casts as his fondly-remembered puppy.



My Winnipeg instills memory as ice-laden spectre: insular, amorphous, and mystic in its reverie. Reality and hallucinated reminiscence blur at the edges: Who would believe that If Day, a yearly supposition of what would have happened if the Nazis had taken Manitoba, is completely legit, but what about baby Guy's birth in the locker room of homegrown hockey titans the Winnipeg Maroons? The remnants of a race track fire that burned a dozen or so horses alive allows for some of Maddin's most haunted (haunting?) imagery. Sticking out of the tundra as if frozen as they emerged from hell, the glacial horse heads, stuck in contortions of anguish, have become a tourist attraction, a photo op spectacle and, most disturbingly, a hang-out for teens. Each perverse locale he visits yields to the sublimity of Maddin's film.



What Maddin has done here is quite miraculous. Engulfing his pristine black-and-white photography in a snowy haze, lost in a wonderland of his own making, Maddin turns his birthplace into a mythic brume where one's feet are strictly forbidden from the ground. If everyone paints their hometown as a veritably unknown world of demons, saints, perverts, monuments, and "the best diner ever," Maddin goes inward and turns his hometown into his own personalized whirligig. It's a place where Ledge Man repeats are waiting for you when you get home and Citizen Girl waits to remedy even the slightest sense of injustice. And they say you can't go home again.







Let's play hockey.
