oxford25 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Comments from those who have seen the 3D version of Titanic Titanic in 3D: Why it 'truly impresses' It cost James Cameron $18 million to convert his sinking-ship romance into a third dimension — but even skeptical critics say it was money well spent posted on October 31, 2011, at 3:31 PM Critics who caught an 18-minute preview of James Cameron's conversion of "Titanic" to 3D say it looks almost as good as a film originally shot in 3D. Photo: 20th Century FoxSEE ALL 18 PHOTOS Best Opinion: Slash Film, EW, HitFix Fourteen years ago, James Cameron's Oscar-winning epic Titanic first introduced us to Leonardo DiCaprio's Jack, who froze in icy waters as the unsinkable ship sank, and Kate Winslet's Rose, whose heart went on and on via YouTube and Netflix. Next spring, the beloved/ridiculed film will return to theaters painstakingly converted to 3D at a cost of $18 million. Cameron recently previewed 18 minutes of the 3D footage for the press and, while films rarely dazzle when a third dimension is belatedly tacked on, commentators say the Titanic 3D conversion "truly impresses." Here's why: 1. Cameron's film is unusually well-suited for conversion Typically, "I absolutely hate post converted 3D," says Peter Sciretta at Slash Film. But this "looks almost as good" as a film that was natively shot in 3D. "If I had never seen the movie before, you would have been able to convince me" that it was originally shot in 3D. It doesn't hurt that "Cameron's cinematography is usually slow and steady and wonderfully composed for depth." 2. 3D heightens the emotional intensity The 3D is especially evocative during the sequence in which Jack is trapped in handcuffs at the bottom of the ship, and Rose rushes to free him, says Adam B. Vary at Entertainment Weekly. "As she raced through the ship's empty bowels, water rising with every passing second, the 3D really did give me a greater feeling of how alone she is in those long and deserted hallways." And "watching the water lap against the frame, always threatening to spill into the theater, certainly helped add to the sense of anxiety." 3. 3D aside, it'll be great just to have Titanic back in theaters Watching Cameron's preview in a movie theater was "a reminder of all the great details in the picture that get lost — even on a big screen TV," says Gregory Ellwood at HitFix. "The detail in the production and costume design was immense." The striking chemistry between Winslet and DiCaprio also really comes across when the film is in theaters — in a way that it just can't "on a cable repeat on TNT."

katchitup Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 A little FYI, I was watching The Insider and the host (I think her name is Nancy??)said she was interviewing Leo this week. So we should be expected to see that soon! I am very excited for these interviews we'll be getting soon. I am most excited to see his interview with Maria Menunous, assuming she'll interview him again. They always look like they have a good time and look like they flirt alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxford25 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 From NY Post Page Six Stars in (crazy) characterHalloween in Hollywood brought out the A-listers in costume. Saturday, Leonardo DiCaprio remained hidden behind a mask at Kate Hudson’s bash at her Pacific Palisades home. The star felt so comfortably obscured that he danced wildly with friends. Jessica Biel dressed up as a pre-divorce Kim Kardashian, and brought her stylist Estee Stanley, dressed as Khloe, another friend dressed as Kourtney, and Stanley’s husband as Scott Disick. Miley Cyrus’ house was where young Hollywood, including Zac Efron and Rumer Willis, partied late Saturday night. At Matthew Morrision’s bash at Voyeur lounge, the cast of “Glee” -- including Dianna Agron, Mark Salling and Darren Criss -- arrived as “Rugrats” characters, but absent were Lea Michelle and Cory Monteith. On Friday, real estate developer Mike Meldman hosted Mel Gibson dressed as a werewolf, costume-less Cameron Diaz, Paris (as She-Ra) and Nicky Hilton, Jessica Alba and Cash Warren.
