Cantinflas is alive!
Galatview : Staff
In honor of Cantinflas birthday on August 12, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is debuting with famous titles featuring the legendary comic through their Sony Pictures Choice Collection.
In case you’re unfamiliar, the Sony Pictures Choice Collection is a manufacture-on-demand service featuring never-before-released on DVD titles from more than 75 years of the Columbia Pictures film library.
The Cantinflas titles are:
Barrendero (1982)
Don Napo (Cantinflas, Around the World in Eighty Days) is a city maintenance worker, sweeping up dirt while dancing, singing and flirting with the maids in the neighborhood. One day, Don Napo comes across an abandoned baby in his garbage; the next day, a valuable painting appears in his trashcan. A series of wild events leads Don Napo to face crooked criminals, and he’ll need the help of all of his friends to take them down and save the day!
Conserje En Condominio (1974)
Úrsulo (Cantinflas, Around the World in Eighty Days) is a fast-talking wisecracker who finagles his way into a job as the manager of an upscale apartment building where each tenant is crazier than the last! Dealing with psychics, quarreling couples and young hipsters causing trouble throughout the building, Úrsulo handles everything with wisdom, creativity and humor. While dealing with many issues in the building, he meets Clodomira (Raquel Olmedo, Los Indolentes), a maid for one of the rich women in the building, and they find themselves falling for each other.
Don Quijote Cabalga de Nuevo (1973)
Loosely based on the legendary novel by Miguel de Cervantes, this film follows the adventures of Don Quijote (Fernando Fernán Gómez, All About My Mother) and his faithful sidekick, Sancho Panza (Cantinflas, Around the World in Eighty Days). Don Quijote goes from village to village with Sancho, often on a misguided quest to honor the knight’s confused sense of chivalry, thus leading them into hilarious situations and getting the duo into constant trouble.
ABOUT CANTINFLAS:
Mario Moreno, aka “Cantinflas” created a simple, universal character whose roundabout phrases and meaningless speeches confounded those around him, but delighted Spanish-speaking audiences for decades. “Cantinflas,” whom the legendary comedian Charlie Chaplin dubbed “the funniest man in the world,” began his career in the 1930s in the “carpas” (tent shows) in Mexico City. After early attempts to find his comedic voice, he embraced his own heritage as a lowly slum dweller and audiences enthusiastically endorsed this comic persona. With his tiny mustache tipping the corner of his mouth, a cockeyed cap over dark, disheveled hair, dirty vest and a rope for a belt, Cantinflas became the idol of the masses by satirizing the police and politicians.
As a pioneer in the Mexican film industry, he helped usher in its golden era. His foray into American cinema landed him a Golden Globe as Best Actor for his role in Around the World in Eighty Days (1956), but his comedic presence shined brightest in his Spanish language films. People everywhere identified with the struggles of this winsome ragamuffin, and when he died in 1993, thousands endured a violent downpour in order to touch his casket as it lay in state. His funeral was a national event, lasting three days and attended by the presidents of Mexico, Peru, and El Salvador, and the United States Senate held a moment of silence for him.

Or the whole combo The Walking Death: The complete Third Season Limited Edition Blu-ray and the packaging was designed by Todd McFarlane and his McFarlane Toys company. Here’s what he had to say about his initial idea for this case. The best part of this one is more interactive, because consumers are going to have to fill up the tanks themselves, and you can get little hooks on the heads, so you can arrange them any way you see fit. Also you can hang them in a certain order, or you can just let them go to the ground and flop around. No one person’s case has to be exactly like the others.

Austenland is full of satire, love and comedy
By GalaTView Staff
“AUSTENLAND” is a romantic comedy about 30-something, single Jane Hayes (Keri Russell), a seemingly normal young woman with a secret: her obsession with all things Jane Austen. But when she decides to spend her life savings on a trip to an English resort catering to Austen–crazed women, Jane’s fantasies of meeting the perfect Regency–era gentleman suddenly become more real than she ever could have imagined. Based on the novel by Shannon Hale (who also co-wrote the script), the film was written and directed by Jerusha Hess (writer, “Napoleon Dynamite”) and produced by Stephenie Meyer’s Fickle Fish Films.
The beginning of the film makes great play of the American fascination with British culture and manners. Jane finds herself in romantic entanglements with two men (the easygoing stableboy and the rude Darcy-like figure).
Even there’s not much sense, and dubious sensibility, in looking for true love at a fantasy camp for fiction fans, the main lesson was any person should not believe in fantasies, but love is the only hope to continue our lives forever.
“Austenland” will release the film on August 16, 2013 in New York and Los Angeles and nationally throughout late August / early September.
