Choke (2008)
Victor Mancini, in an effort to pay for his once radical, now demented mother’s expensive care in a private hospital, engages in a brazen scam. While dining in upscale restaurants, he deliberately chokes on his food, allowing himself to be “saved” by good Samaritans who grow so close to him in the wake of their heroic Heimlich Maneuvers, they lavish him with checks. His day job is no more conventional: he portrays an indentured Irish servant in full 18th Century garb at a historical theme park. And when he isn’t busy being a put upon Pilgrim, gagging violently or visiting the mother who doesn’t recognize him, Victor is attending sexaholic recovery meetings (or having forbidden encounters in the meeting hall bathroom). It’s no wonder Victor feels adrift. But when his declining mother hints that she might be ready to spill the secret identity of his long lost father, Victor hopes it can finally provide the answers he has been searching for. With the help of his fellow sex addict Denny, Victor befriends his mother’s alluring young physician, who leads him to believe his origins may be far more shockingly divine that he ever could have imagined. So is Victor Mancini still the no-good loser he has always thought he would be for the rest of his life or could he possibly be some crazy kind of savior.| Theatrical Release | |

Review & Summary :
After watching Choke, it occurred to me that the association with Fight Club may do more to harm the viewer’s experience than help. Although I can’t argue with the logic that it will help bring audiences into the theaters if they know that Choke is based on a novel written by the same author, Chuck Palahniuk, fans may come without the realization that Choke is a simpler and often more understated story. This is the very reason actor Clark Gregg was able to make this his directorial debut, using the same socially satirical sense-of-humor as the previous Palahniuk adaptation, but this time on a much smaller scale. Fight Club was an ambitious visual achievement for known perfectionist David Fincher once he had reached a higher level of success with Se7en, whereas Choke provided the opportunity for Gregg to start a career with a promising independent film.
Gregg adapted the story to screenplay and also acts in his film, but wisely gives himself a supporting role. In the leading role of Victor Mancini, a man with many identity issues after a rough childhood being kidnapped by his mother from foster homes, Sam Rockwell fits perfectly. In order to keep his negligent mother (Anjelica Huston) in a top-care facility during her last days battling Alzheimer’s, Victor working days as a historical re-enactor at a Colonial Williamsburg theme park, but when that isn’t enough he finds a brilliant scam where he pretends to choke while eating in public. Not only do the people that rescue him send him money in birthday cards, he also finds himself addicted to the feeling of being saved.
Being comforted and supported by strangers isn’t Victor’s only addiction, attending sex addicts meetings each week if only to sleep with the nymphomaniac he is a sponsor to. Random strangers are Victor’s preference, although he finds himself unable to sleep with a woman he actually begins to care about. When one of his mother’s doctors, Paige Marshall (Kelly Macdonald) tries to exploit Victor’s reputation by insisting he impregnate her before she will translate his mother’s diary from Italian to English, Victor is unable to perform for the first time. Victor believes that the diary will give him the answers to his childhood, but he is unprepared for the shocking truth that is translated to him from the secret diary.
Palahniuk’s novels are nearly all filled with internal dialogue and commentary, which was transferred to film with a unique style and voice that separates it from the film version of Fight Club. Palahniuk has such a rich prose, as well as a gift for matching social and human issues with particularly warped or disillusioned protagonists, and while reading his books I am always struck by how visually lush the stories become in my imagination. As easily as the world is created by Palahniuk’s words I usually tend to find the idea of a film version nearly insurmountable, which is why I was pleasantly surprised to find that Clark Gregg’s Choke brings the story to life in an understated way that allows the story to retain and even enhance some of the more poignant elements.
The cast is pitch perfect and immediately following the film I had the urge to return to the novel to read it again with the actor’s faces in mind, which in my mind is the perfect marriage of mediums. Countless times I have debated whether to read a novel when I know that it is being made into a film certain that seeing the film will be disappointing if I have already read the source material. Although there is something to be said for Palahniuk’s distinct literary voice, even he has declared satisfaction with this latest adaptation.

Review & Summary :
Hounddog (2007)
In rural Alabama in the late 1950s, spirited young girl Lewellen struggles to rise above the repression that surrounds her. Lewellen lives with her stern religious zealot grandmother, Grammie, but spends most of her time down the hill with her much-adored Daddy in his falling down shack. Daddy is wild and rough and frequently brings home a beautiful but troubled woman who has a mysterious history with him and comes and goes when his drink and abuse becomes too much for her. But while she’s around, Lewellen’s longing heart reaches for her love. Lewellen is deeply talented and finds comfort and safety, as well as a place to put her hurt and rage, in the music of Elvis Presley. When Elvis Presley comes to town for a concert, Lewellen is desperate to go but has no money for a ticket. Her best friend, Buddy, trying to get her a ticket, arranges for her to do her Elvis impersonation for a local teenager in exchange for tickets to the concert. During the impersonation, the teenager attacks Lewellen and steals her innocence. The attack leaves Lewellen feeling alone and hopeless. It is only the caretaker Charles who can see the spirit in Lewellen and save her soul. He teaches her to use The Blues to turn her tragedy into a gift. Lewellen ultimately finds her true voice, giving her the strength and courage to walk away from her past and into her future.| Theatrical Release | |

Fraulein (2007)
Ruza left Belgrade more than 25 years ago to seek a new life in Zurich. Now in her fifties, she has completely detached herself from the past. She owns a cafeteria and maintains an orderly, joyless existence. Mila, a waitress there, is a good-humored Croatian woman who also emigrated decades ago, but, unlike Ruza, she dreams of returning to a house on the Croatian coast. Both of them receive a jolt when Ana, a young, itinerant woman who has fled Sarajevo, breezes into the cafeteria looking for work. Ruza hires her but is annoyed by Ana’s impulsive and spirited efforts to inject life into the cafeteria. Gradually the acrimony will dissipate, as Ana, who hides a tragic secret under her passionate spirit, begins to thaw Ruza’s chill, and their relationship will change both women in ways they never anticipated| Theatrical Release | |

Review & Summary :
The Duchess (2008)
September 16, 2008 by omprakash
Filed under Action Thriller, Drama, HOLLYWOOD, Romantic Comedy
Synopsis:
Long before the concept existed, the Duchess of Devonshire, Georgiana Spencer, was the original “It Girl.” Like her direct descendent Princess Diana, she was ravishing, glamorous and adored by an entire country. Determined to be a player in the wider affairs of the world, she proved that she could out-gamble, out-drink and outwit most of the aristocratic men who surrounded her. She helped usher in sweeping changes to England as a leader of the forward-thinking Whig Party. But even as her power and popularity grew, she was haunted by the fact that the only man in England she seemingly could not seduce was her very own husband, the Duke. And when she tried to find her own way to be true to her heart and loyal to her duty, the resulting controversies and convoluted liaisons would leave all of London talking| Theatrical Release | |

Review & Summary :
Keira Knightley will play the 18th century aristocrat Georgiana, duchess of Devonshire. An ancestor of Princess Di, she lived an extravagant, profligate and promiscuous life of political and romantic intrigue, becoming an important powerbroker amid Britain’s ruling elite but also running up catastrophic gambling debts. She was alternately feted and reviled, and widely caricatured by the popular press.
