Kate and Leo in new 'Revolutinary Road' clips

DateWednesday, November 19, 2008 at 3:19PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Considering we usually have to wait about three years for a new Sam Mendes flick, the upcoming release of "Revoutionary Road" will be quite an event for his fans. Not only is the film described as a hot awards contender, but it obviously also reunites Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet on the big screen.

Based on the novel by Richard Yates, the film follows the marriage of Frank and April Wheeler, who are struggling not to succumb to the ordinary lifestyle of all the people around them.

Three new clips from the movie recently popped up on the Web, and I suggest you check them out after the jump. One of them features part of Thomas Newman's scorce, which immediately reminded me of his brilliant work on "Road to Perdition." Good to hear he's back as well. "Revolutionary Road" opens Dec. 26, 2008.

Trailer radar: 'Revolutionary Road'

DateFriday, November 14, 2008 at 2:08PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Here's quite an intriguing new teaser trailer for Sam Mendes' upcoming romance drama "Revolutionary Road," which reunites "Titanic" stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet on the big screen.

Based on the novel by Richard Yates, the film follows the marriage of Frank and April Wheeler, who are struggling not to succumb to the ordinary lifestyle of all the people around them.

The footage after the jump is interesting because it runs for only a minute and barely features any dialogue. Yet, the images and the accompanying music are powerful enough to establish a good sense of what to expect in the film. "Revolutionary Road" opens in limited release Dec. 26, 2008.

Great Movie Moments #2 – ‘Road to Perdition’

DateThursday, August 7, 2008 at 12:38AM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Welcome back to another edition of our new series "Great Movie Moments." Last week we started off with a nice scene from "The Village," and today we have a great sequence from Sam Mendes' fantastic "Road to Perdition," a crime thriller about a hit man who vows to seek revenge against those who killed his wife and his youngest son.

In the scene above, Tom Hanks takes on a bunch of guys who work for Mr. Rooney (played by Paul Newman). Although the scene as such is rather simple, the setup and editing work marvelously. Plus, Thomas Newman's incredibly beautiful score fits perfectly. I really enjoyed the movie and found several other moments I could have picked for this entry, but this one is clearly the most captivating one. Enjoy.
