Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

Description

Dr. Alfred Jones is a self described suburban skeptic who just happens to have a vast knowledge about fish, especially salmon. So when a Middle East Sheik who is passionate about fly fishing for salmon brings up his dream of making that dream come true in the dry deserts of the Middle East, he goes to Jones for help. What sounds like an outlandish request is actually doable with dams and lots of financial backing (which the Sheik definitely has in abundance). Director Lasse Hallström (Water for Chocolat, The Cider House Rules) goes a bit overboard with the clichéd "swimming against the time" but the film is well worth watching.tarring Ewan McGregor (The Men Who Stare at Goats, Angels & Demons) as Dr. Alfred Jones, Emily Blunt (The Adjustment Bureau, Gulliver's Travels) is Harriet Chetwode-Talbot a management consultant for the salmon fishing enthusiastic Sheik, and Kristin Scott Thomas (The English Patient, Confessions of a Shopaholic) plays Bridgett Maxwell. There wasn't any bridging of diplomatic relations during the filming of this movie, just an entertaining story well acted out.

An amusingly ridiculous black comedy "Seven Psychopaths" is a McDonagh's next masterpiece created in a black comedy genre. It tells the story about an author, Marty who is out of inspiration to finish his novel "Seven Psychopaths". Marty is played by an Irish actor, Collin Farrell who may be known to you by his roles in Minority Report (2002), In Bruges (2008) and Total Recall (2012). His friend Billy tries his best to help Marty to finish writing the book "inspiring" him by getting into the troubles, constantly. Billy is portrayed by Sam Rockwell, who is known to you as Sam Bell from Moon (2009) and Kenneth Waters from Conviction (both are serious roles in the serious films with lots of awards and nominations). Billy is a pure criminal with sadistic attitudes, but he is lovely one. Besides his kind heart, he has a crime-partner Hans. This next psychopath is played by Christopher Walken. This great American actor needs no introduction – you know his awesome roles in Kill the Irishman (2012), Hairspray (2007) and Man of the Year (2006). The next psychopath is Charlie (portrayed by Woodrow Tracy "Woody" Harrelson: No Country for Old Men, The Messenger, Defendor, Zombieland). His beloved dog, a rare Shih Tzu was kidnapped by Billy and Hans, and all the movie's action unfolds in this pivotal point. There we meet Angela, played by the "Bond Girl" Olga Kurylenko, Kaya (Abbie Cornish) and Zachariah (Tom Waits) – the last two of the "Seven Psychopaths".
