if you understand the normal distribution you had damn well better know that there are other probability distributions .\nhowever , a single individual can be richer than the poorest 2 billion humans . so wealth follows a scale independent distribution .\nthe issue was not just that these distributions displayed taleb characteristics : these market activities were devised with taleb characteristics in mind .\ni have several times in this column described the taleb distribution of regular small profits interspersed by large losses . taleb distributions are the basis of the carry trade \u2013 which exploits interest rate differentials \u2013 and many types of statistical arbitrage . taleb distributions are exploited by traders in hedge funds and at proprietary trading desks .\nthere are other , less abstruse examples . drinking more than is good for us has a taleb distribution . so does smoking \u2013 after all , most smokers do not get lung cancer .\nholy grail distribution is a missing piece in almost every investment portfolio seeking protection from tail risk events combined with positive average returns .\nexactly . i ' m astounded that this basic fact - that financial modelers have been using the wrong distribution for decades is not being denounced . for example , the capital asset pricing model ( capm ) which assumes that returns fall on a normal distribution .\nof what you wrote , but i think you should reread your reply to taleb with as much scrutiny as you read taleb .\nthere are business lessons to be drawn from the bad habits of french drivers . we need to beware of activities whose outcomes have a taleb distribution \u2013 many small gains punctuated by occasional large losses .\nrealization by who ? if you understand the normal distribution you had damn well better know that there are other probability distributions .\nkay goes on to add that governments yesterday as well as today appear to creating responses that are once again premised on the tailgating distribution .\npeople rarely check how closely their data conform to the standard distribution ; indeed , many people blindly apply the standard deviation to their data regardless of its distribution ! the resulting number is often more obfuscatory than helpful , to the extent that it crowded out more useful summaries .\nin other words , we ' re using the normal distribution as the workhorse because considering other distributions is , well , inefficient / unproductive .\nthe name holy grail distribution captures both the difficulty of finding a strategy with these characteristics and the unique value it provides to an asset allocator .\nthe truth is that most times we don\u2019t know the probability distribution at all . because the world is not a predictable casino game \u2014 an error nassim taleb calls the ludic fallacy \u2014 the best we can do is guess .\ntaleb has a good point about people mistakenly interpreting standard deviation ( sigma ) as mean absolute deviation ( mad ) . i like that he gives some conversions ( sigma ~ = 1 . 25 * mad , for normal distribution ) .\nit is hard to deliver returns with holy grail distribution using only replication and generally available asset classes ; such returns have to be\nengineered\n. at the same time , allocation to investment instruments and strategies with holy grail distribution of returns may provide clear benefits of diversification and protection from periodic market - performance shocks .\nwell , frequentist methods are taking the blame for the most recent financial crisis , such as assuming a normal distribution when the empirical one is fat - tailed .\nperhaps the bayesian methods will take the blame in the next financial crisis . such as the error in estimating a non - stationary distribution and quantifying the uncertainty .\n[ \u2026 ] out scott locklin\u2019s brutal takedown of our favorite blowhard , nassim taleb . the only part i disagree with it where locklin calls taleb [ \u2026 ]\ni didn\u2019t read taleb carefully enough to know whether he was targeting only quants .\ncompute - intensive statistical tests , which are data - driven and make fewer assumptions about the underlying distribution , can give tighter confidence intervals and detect statistical significance better .\ncan we escape the taleb problem ? understanding risk is the prelude to managing it . we know instinctively that the tailgating driver is not really smart \u2013 and nor is the high - yield bond trader . taleb exploits his distribution by looking for its opposite : trading strategies in securities markets that offer frequent small losses and occasional large gains .\nhowever described , it is the same thing : a distribution of returns that produces frequent small profits punctuated by occasional very large losses . a high proportion of trading \u2013 and business \u2013 strategies in financial markets have this tailgating characteristic . i call it the taleb distribution , after the author of fooled by randomness ( an earlier , and better , book than the more widely read black swan ) , which gives numerous instances .\ntaleb ' s favorite topic is the\nblack swan event\nwhich is something that the normal distribution , and the idea of standard deviation , don ' t model that well . in a normal distribution very extreme events should only happen once in the lifetime of several universes . of course assuming variation inline with a gaussian process is at the heart of how the black - sholes model calculates risk / volatility / etc .\ni sometimes think that progress in the 21st century will be summed up as :\nthe realization that the normal distribution is not the only way to model data\n.\na distribution built from mad will more closely resemble the reality of the s & p returns , and will create more robust models . there are many examples of this .\nadditionally , i will mention that we do not need normal distributions to make special the idea of standard deviations . in fact , it is the geometry of probability - the fact that independent random variables have standard deviations which\npoint\nin orthogonal directions - which causes the normal distribution to be the resulting distribution of the central limit theorem .\ngee , d\u2019ya think so bub ? maybe i should go have some acupuncture done to harmonize my narcissism . taleb as schindler ? how about taleb as jesus sufferin\u2019 christ ?\nvery nice ! i did have his books on my reading list . but this whole discussion definitely puts me closer to the\nwaste of my time\nside of the distribution .\ni never heard about taleb distributiom , is my first time sounds interesting . . . .\nthe fact you largely resort to attacking straw men rather than taleb\u2019s actual arguments says everything .\ni was initially very curious about your post . finding a substantive argument against taleb\u2019s thinking is actually quite difficult to track down . imagine my disappointment when i discovered your post was mostly an ad hominem review of taleb the man rather than an measured analysis of taleb\u2019s ideas .\nltcm had lots of small up months and a few large down months . this is not detected by the sharpe ratio as it assumes a symmetry in the distribution of returns . \u2013 nnt\nwhat is more , his idea of black swans is not original , every experienced investor is aware that stock returns don\u2019t follow a predictable distribution , that the end outcomes are extremely uncertain .\nthe pareto distribution , better known as the 80 / 20 rule , states that 80 % of the effects come from 20 % of the causes . for example , in most businesses 20 % of clients will generate 80 % of the income , 20 % of clients will generate the most customer service requests and so on . taleb argues that we\u2019re moving to a 99 / 1 distribution , away from 80 / 20 . this shift has profound implications for our economy and society .\non page 240 , taleb writes that gauss , in using the normal distribution , \u201cwas a mathematician dealing with a theoretical point , not making claims about the structure of reality like statistical - minded scientists . \u201d i don\u2019t have my stigler right here , but i\u2019d always understood that gauss developed least squares and the normal distribution in the context of fitting curves to astronomical observations . sure he did lots of pure math , but he ( and laplace ) were doing empirical science too .\nyou have provided an interesting comment to taleb , but there are several things you are missing .\nthank god somebody else out there sees that taleb is as mad as a bag of bats .\npeople ask why people get the heckles up about taleb , and it isn ' t actually about taleb at all . it ' s about the , for lack of a better phrase , taleb\nfan boys\n. bizarre that such a thing exists , but people like having their prophet .\ntaleb distributions are good when you have experienced only the upside . a taleb distribution led to the crises in the lloyd\u2019s insurance market . excess - of - loss policies \u2013 t he lmx spiral \u2013 insured other syndicates against losses of unprecedented magnitude . the underwriters pointed out that they had taken in premiums for many years and paid nothing out . you do not have to be as smart as taleb to see the flaw but you do have to be a little smarter than the feltrim and gooda walker syndicates .\nyet , taleb\u2019s writing makes all those assumptions . if you can fill in the missing steps , then you will find that taleb provides a strong argument for why and how we got to this point .\nthank you . i don ' t think it is intellectually honest for taleb to omit this fact .\n> also he alludes to his paper with goldstein . it is clear form goldstein and taleb ' s manuscript that that taleb is not just throwing these arguments to talk trash about practitioners of statistics . they\nmany apparently successful traders and business people are still on the upside of their taleb distribution . they are accidents waiting to happen . it puzzled me for years that so many organisations believed they were making money out of proprietary trading in securities markets . these businesses were trading mostly with each other : since there is no perpetual motion , where did the money to fuel the system come from ? from taleb distributions .\nwhat taleb failed to mention is that , once properly understood , standard deviation has distribution interpretations that can be much more useful than mad . for example , if the data is approximately normally distributed , then there is approximately a 99 . 99 % probability that the next data observation will be < = 4 * sigma .\ntaleb , the non - experts , expert non - expert . or something . too jokes , anyway .\nthis is actually what i expected to read :\nthe standard deviation is useful because with the average and the standard deviation , one can fully characterize a normal distribution . however , the standard deviation is less useful a statistical summary the farther away from ' normal ' you get , and in reality , there is no such thing as a normal distribution , as a true normal distribution is defined on the entire real number line from negative infinity to positive infinity . reality always provides some bound , and it ' s often quite distorted from guassian . for instance , a ' normal ' distribution averaging 2 with a standard deviation of 1 . 4 , bounded by 0 , is quite non - gaussian in many important ways ! ( not least of which is that you ' re going to have to do something to replace the missing probability . . . )\ngreat article btw . i used to adore taleb\u2019s fbr , but that was before i entered the world of finance and trading . taleb tends to repeat the obvious , and so tbs didn\u2019t do too much for me .\nhis essential black - swan point is that extreme uncertainties cannot be parameterized by any distribution , that we fool ourselves when we translate \u201cuncertainty\u201d into \u201crisk\u201d as characterized by any distribution . it\u2019s a good point , it\u2019s as old as the hills , but it\u2019s a good point\u2026the rest of black - swan expounds on the biases that comform us in parameterizing risk ; e . g . , excel has cells for numbers , so the numbers must mean something\nthe normal distribution is fantastic in that it does appear frequently in nature , is very well behaved , and has been extensively studied . however a great amount of future progress is going to come from wrestling with more challenging distributions , and paying more attention to when assumptions of normality need to be questioned . of course one of the challenges of this is that the normal distribution is baked into a very large number of our existing statistical tools .\nit\u2019s an argument that\u2019s well known , and pretty much irrelevant . as aaron brown put it , \u201c ( taleb\u2019s book ) reads as if taleb has never heard of nonparametric methods , data analysis , visualization tools or robust estimation\u201d\nsecond , absolute nails sentiment that taleb engenders , i\u201dve read his books and i\u2019ve listened to him , but he never seems to get beyond the obvious ( fat tails , gaussian distribution\u2026yes\u2026we know that\u2026thanks\u2026 ) he didn\u2019t convince me that he actually is a true quant with a meaningful , progressive self - critique . this makes sense of the posturing .\nbut please , keep buying china inc . more money for guys like taleb once the markets come crashing down again .\nit would be nice to think taleb\u2019s contribution to intellectual discourse is a net positive . i don\u2019t agree , obviously .\nto reiterate , there ' s nothing wrong with the normal distribution . we ' re not about to retire addition or subtraction just because there are\nplenty of people who don ' t really realize\nthere ' s more to math .\ncould you sketch out why similar statements couldn ' t be made about mad ? my ( possibly flawed ) intuition is that the expected proportion of observations within n \\ * mad should be similarly independent of the parameters of the normal distribution .\nthe standard deviation and assumptions of normality are so useful because of the central limit theorem . that is , if you have many iid variables which have finite standard deviation the sum will converge to a gaussian distribution as the number of variables increases .\nif taleb\u2019s arguments were obvious in the way you suggest , clearly there would not be a market for them . simple .\ni understand from the papers that taleb is now in a big fight with merton . i agree with him on that .\nfor five years until 2004 spitznagel and taleb ran empirica , a hedge fund very similar to universa that in its short tenure generated low double - digit returns . after taleb became seriously ill the duo shut the fund . taleb has since given up money management to teach risk management at polytechnic institute of nyu in brooklyn , write books and advise foreign governments on his theories .\ni disagree with your comparison of taleb to popper . popper would write things which occasionally made sense . feyeraband and taleb seem to be more of the \u201cmakin\u2019 raspberries\u201d school of disputation . throwing kuhn in there \u2026 at least kuhn eventually repented of his sins .\ntaleb\u2019s antics are what he sells . nobody actually cares about his criticisms of specific models : it\u2019s rare that he actually makes any . were taleb out there criticizing actual quant models , you know , by naming them , then stating in clear unequivocal terms where they don\u2019t work and why , and maybe even points out a useful alternative , i would be a taleb fan . hell , in that event , i would be a taleb sahabah ; companion to the prophet . instead taleb goes on television and the ft and blurts out that \u201cnobody knows nuthin . \u201d as such , the just argument against a stupid head is a clenched fist .\ni also like how a lot of the people attacking taleb here , are making exactly the mistakes he describes in his books .\nas of late on new year ' s day , i have still not heard from taleb via email . just too busy .\nnassim taleb on the notion of alternative histories \u2014 \u201cthe quality of a decision cannot be solely judged based on its outcome . \u201d\nif data is drawn from a laplace distribution of the form p ( x ) = exp ( - | x | ) , the mean absolute deviation is more informative than the standard deviation , but if its form is close to the normal , p ( x ) = exp ( - x ^ 2 ) , the standard deviation is more important . so whether to use the mean absolute or standard deviation depends on the distribution of the data . there is a field called robust statistics that looks at this question .\ntaleb\u2019s books introduced me to seneca and stoicism and a whole area of a psychological biases that i hadn\u2019t really spent much time considering or thinking about beforehand or reading . other books cover these areas better . for stoicism , actually reading seneca\u2019s letters or marcus aurelius\u2019s meditations is better than reading taleb\u2019s version of it . for psychological biases , actually reading daniel kahneman is better than reading taleb . it sounds like in the areas where you agree with taleb with finance or math , you think a person would gain better understanding elsewhere .\nthe central limit theorem shows us that unimodal data with lots of independent sources of error tends towards a normal distribution . that description is a good first - pass , descriptive model for lots and lots of contexts , and standard deviation speaks well to normally distributed data .\ni just have a simple question for taleb\u2019s defenders . i\u2019d love to know where he has offered more than the following two ideas :\naug . 16 \u2014 nassim nicholas taleb , adviser at universa investments , sat down for an interview with erik schatzker tuesday evening in new york . taleb , famous for his assessment of risk , says there are greater risks out there than nuclear war with north korea .\nthe holy grail distribution has a positive mean to justify the instrument ' s permanent role in the asset allocation framework . its positive fat tail , which is\nco - located\nwith the left tail of other instruments , adds protection to investment portfolios during tail risk events .\nodd enough . i think he\u2019s smeared buffet and charlie munger as \u201clucky\u201d before , though i may be confusing taleb with burton malkiel here .\nthis article is based on paper taleb published in 2007 . if you want to test yourself , submit yourself to experiment in page 3 :\nkey point number one in this memo is that the future should be viewed not as a fixed outcome that\u2019s destined to happen and capable of being predicted , but as a range of possibilities and , hopefully on the basis of insight into their respective likelihoods , as a probability distribution .\ni don\u2019t have a problem with your comments about taleb , because he\u2019s never interested me enough to pay attention to what he has to say .\ntaleb the philosopher observes that when it comes to the preservation and perpetuation of life , negative advice is more useful \u2013 the thou shalt nots .\nyour post was in reply to someone asking about taleb ' s black swans so i assumed you were talking about 2008 in reference to that .\nnassim nicholas taleb , fooled by randomness : the hidden role of chance in the markets and in life , new york : texere , 2001 .\nthis is hardly a matter of trust , anton . scott has pointed you in the direction of the relevant academic literature as regards taleb\u2019s revival of the long - shot lure . and if you want to know what an expert in extreme value theory thinks of taleb , you can read this :\nof course taleb would not offer a useful alternative . he says repeatedly that there is no useful alternative . throw them all away ! ! ! !\ni just came across this taleb interview made in february 2008 , about taleb\u2019s view on simons . taleb says verbatim answering the 4th question ( about buffet ) : . . the only two people i think who are not lucky ; there is soros and then there is the other gentleman from renaissance . simons , he is not lucky . he is beyond . there is no exposure to uncertainty on his models . \u201d the video is here : urltoken\nthat ' s not interesting ? i think the difference between theory and practice is intensely interesting , and taleb has a lot to say about it .\nno . it is the ideology of dissing taleb . obviously i am not his paid spokesperson . but please argue to the merit of his arguments .\nmore interesting will be how the fda takes into account the arguments that taleb and co put forward . expect fireworks in the coming weeks and months .\nmany economists and , by direct extension , financiers thought they had quantified all forms of risk . by quantifying all forms of risk , you can compute the first derivative . taleb and scores of others argued that all risk cannot be quantified . taleb made this argument long before the publication of black swan .\nahhh taleb\u2026 you got to hand it to taleb , he has a huge head for heights , but has he really got those \u201cstreet smarts\u201d he so oft speaks of ? its quite obvious that the success of dynamic hedging had an funny ( ha ) effect on him . barking mad ? definately maybe .\nwhat about bank\u2019s debt converted into equity ? ? ! ! ! this was after all the quantitative easing , only taleb transferred the concept to individual consumers .\nmaybe taleb is in fact the genius he sets out to prove himself to be . after all , he did come up with a seemingly valid formula :\nfor the most part , taleb criticizes everything but he never offers any solutions . his observations when they make sense are trivial , like tails are fat .\n[ \u2026 ] scott locklin on nassim nicholas taleb . akpc _ ids + =\n126 ,\n; popularity : unranked [ ? ] [ \u2026 ]\nactually , taleb has explicitly stated that the 2008 financial crisis was not a black swan nor does he claim to be able to predict any of them .\nit is sad that taleb does not see the value in the standard deviation ; standard deviation is far more natural , and more useful , than mad .\nstill , i think that non - parametric methods are much more valuable as a solution to dealing with non - normal data than what taleb is proposing .\n> the problem of course is that the cauchy distribution is pathological in that it doesn ' t have a mean or variance , you can calculate similar properties for it ( location and scale ) , but it doesn ' t obey the central limit theorem so in practice it can be very strange to work with .\na key difference between these types of risks is the statistical structure of their impact . this structure is either dependent on scale or independent of scale . an example of a scale - dependent distribution is the weight of an adult human which is generally never greater than about 10 times the weight of an average human .\nalso he alludes to his paper with goldstein . it is clear form goldstein and taleb ' s manuscript that that taleb is not just throwing these arguments to talk trash about practitioners of statistics . they report findings of an experiment with multiple groups of applied statisticians . i ' ll quote from it [ 1 ] :\nanother solution to the problem of hedging tail risk events is to have a complementary strategy with a performance pattern that helps reduce the impact of market performance shocks . an instrument with a returns distribution featuring a positive mean and a fat , right ( positive ) tail that is realized just when traditional portfolios take a hit .\nthe black swan book ? really , it\u2019s like taleb found a way to fill his publisher\u2019s ink cartridges with crap before having the manuscript sent to the printers .\nexcellent ! another entertaining piece of fiction . much shorter than the first , but since i\u2019m a complete unknown and taleb is well - known that\u2019s only appropriate .\nthere is no snark in my post : i am outright calling taleb a false prophet who is guilty of exactly the things he criticizes in fooled by randomness .\nby the way , i studied some stock rates to see taleb ' s arguments , a thing i normally wouldn ' t do . see my blog above .\ntagged with black swans , delta hedging , implied volatility , nassim taleb , nickels in front of a steamroller , options , vix , volatility , volatility arbitrage .\ni don\u2019t think the essential criticism is that taleb is hysterical . ( his hysteria may be a marketing tactic ) . i read the argument as : taleb affirms quantitative nihilism . ( i am not myself sure , i just read that as the argument . like i said , i am here for the writing clinic\u2026 ) .\nand you are basing that statement on\u2026 . hahahaah ! please enlight us on your specific sources of how you know that and why taleb is lying about his profession .\ni am yet to see anybody who thinks that standard deviation is mean deviation . it ' s taleb though . baseless assertions insulting groups of people are his craft .\ngladwell plays into the comparison about as much as the editors of cosmopolitan would play into it if niederhoffer and taleb had shared the cover of an issue of cosmo .\n[ \u2026 ] nassim taleb : clown of quantitative finance \u00ab locklin on science \u2013 as such , taleb is merely setting himself up as some sort of heretical alpha monkey of the quants for stating the obvious , the misleading , and occasionally the gratuitously wrong - headed and untrue . \u2013 lol heretical alpha monkey of the quants [ \u2026 ]\ni hold bush responsible for all of this\u2026taleb\u2019s book is entertaining . where is the book from india that talked about reddy adn his ideas . that\u2019s the book we needed .\n< plus , it\u2019s not like jim simons has time to write financial times < articles . he\u2019s too busy making money more or less proving people like < taleb wrong .\ntaleb did not claim the banking crash to be a black swan ( unpredictable ) . it was completely predictable and he has said as much . you probably overlooked that .\ni\u2019m having a tough time deciding which is right on this , you or taleb . could you please tell me your net worth so i can compare it to his ?\ni will say though , taleb reader ' s are surely great words with friends or scrabble players . you just can ' t help picking up a few new words .\ni am wondering if you have a lot invested in concepts and techniques that mr taleb is suggesting are broken . there is certainly a tone of defensiveness about your post .\nrely on predictions of events that are unpredictable - so faulting him for predicting or not predicting this and that means one does not really understands what taleb is talking about .\nhe is saying it ' s not useful for real world things and people are just confused . what you wrote is reasonable view . what taleb writes isn ' t .\nthe true hero is not taleb , but reddy , the master of india\u2019s banks , who kept sanity during an insane time . india and china are doing fine , thanks very much , due to their restraint and maturity . taleb\u2019s point is simply to identify the flaw in quant models that kept regulation from doing its job in the last decade .\ni think that taleb is extremely interesting . well , maybe not taleb himself , but the phenomenon of taleb . post the crisis , he\u2019s such a great example of everything he criticised pre the crisis , one wonders whether anyone in the audience at his popular lectures ever reflects on this contradiction . rare events : before the fact , hard to predict ; after the fact , easy to explain . but how ingenious to be able to sell this insight whilst simultaneously declaring that one predicted a rare event , and explaining how ?\ngood to see an fairly anti - taleb post picking actual holes in what he says \u2013 as someone who is definitely pro - taleb ( his books have changed my outlook on various aspects of life ) i have often tried to find holes in his logic and never have been able to \u2013 i am not convinced this post changes that but definitely got me thinking and one of the few anti - taleb posts ( well at least not fawningly positive ) that doesnt really resort to playing the man instead of the ideas .\nyes , and capm is based on the gaussian also , as is most everything in first year quantitative finance . that doesn\u2019t make these models useless any more than other statistical models based on gaussians when we know the process ain\u2019t normal . hell , the entire concept of \u201cstatistical distribution\u201d itself is kind of a lie : everyone knows financial processes are markov .\nthe most popular pop - writer in quantitative finance at present is nassim taleb . his latest screed in the financial times is what spurred me to write this post . the article wasn\u2019t entirely written by taleb - though i guess the other guy is his fund partner , so it is no surprise that it suffers from all the mush headed absurdity of taleb\u2019s other articles and books . i won\u2019t pick on the other guy ; or even mention his name : he\u2019s got a job to do , and he has the good manners to not make himself a public figure . taleb , on the other hand , is sort of the paul feyerabend of quantitative finance . like feyerabend , he is well read , a good writer and quite charming . like feyerabend , taleb seems to earn his daily bread by showing up and being kind of witty . finally , both feyerabend and taleb are very much against method . this means , effectively , they\u2019re both intellectual nihilists . feyerabend thought we couldn\u2019t know anything for various reasons too silly to get into right now . taleb thinks all of quantitative finance is nonsense and we should do away with quants . i am guessing the former\u2019s delusions had something to do with drinking the same berkeley tapwater in the 1960s which made everyone else believe in crazy things , but taleb was a trader , and it\u2019s a common prejudice of traders to dislike quants for cutting into their p / l .\nif you want to make that argument , then you need to look at popper . indeed , taleb\u2019s writing and logic are much closer to popper than any of the relativists .\nthe problem that taleb is generally referring to in financial models ( and those are the published models , not proprietary models ) is that they use statistical concepts founded from physics .\ni don ' t agree with your ' vile idiot ' statement but i mostly concur with your thoughts . i hope that you don ' t let taleb affect your senescence .\nthe appeal of any popular mountebank is best summed up by p . t . barnum : there is one born every minute . had taleb been an honest writer , he might have educated his readers on the concept of \u201csample bias . \u201d but if taleb were an honest writer , nobody would read his stuff . smugness is a lot cheaper than understanding .\ni guess i share taleb ' s problems with models . even before i read taleb i would say to myself\nthe map is not the territory\n, particularly with regard to software abstractions . i think the space between the model and reality is where you find a lot of interesting things ( including the ability to make a lot of money ) .\nsecond , in regard to conglac2009\u2019s ( michael\u2019s ) comment , taleb shouldn\u2019t be requiring , or expecting , ft readers to read his prior books before reading an op -

of course this will vary with market liquidity . this strategy is commonly employed by major hedge funds and is commonly referred to as\npicking pennies up ahead of a steamroller\nnassim taleb criticized pinker\u2019s arguments a few years ago , arguing that pinker didn\u2019t take proper account of the statistical nature of war as a historical phenomenon , specifically as a time series of events characterized by fat tails . such processes naturally have long periods of quiescence , which get ripped apart by tumultuous upheavals , and they lure the mind into mistaken interpretations . pinker responded , clarifying his view , and the quotes above come from that response . pinker acknowledged the logical possibility of taleb\u2019s view , but suggested that taleb had \u201cno evidence that is true , or even plausible . \u201d\nit ' s a useful metric when treated carefully , but it is rare to encounter it treated carefully . science courses would be well - served to stop teaching it in favor of a stronger emphasis on multiple distributions . ( multiple distributions are usually touched upon , but implicitly our curricula overfavor the gaussian distribution and end up accidentally implicitly convincing students its the only one . )\nthis has nothing to do with taleb and everything to do with genuine intellectual inquiry . if academics were thinkers rather than followers , it would be possible to prevent the gross abuse of paradigms .\nauthor of ' the black swan ' and ' fooled by randomness ' former trader nassim nicholas taleb illustrates the concept of the ' barbell strategy ' - a risk hedging strategy robust to losses .\nassume these experiences were drawn from the bell - shaped normal distribution on which such claims are generally based . if i were to write down as a percentage the probability that goldman sachs would encounter three 25 standard deviation events followed by a 20 standard deviation event , the next 15 lines of this column would be occupied by zeros . such things simply do not occur . so what did ?\npeople have a natural bias to look at returns and not to look at possible losses ,\nsays taleb .\nif you reduce big losses , your overall returns will be higher .\nhowever , taleb is not a relativist nor is he logical positivist , which is what most economics faculty are . he is a falsificationist . in my limited experience , most research methodologists are falsificationists .\ni also agree with taleb that ducks are occasionally black and that water is generall wet . that doesn\u2019t make the rest of what he says less idiotic . go back and read what i wrote .\n[ \u2026 ] had thought that truly great polemic was dead and gone . i was wrong . it\u2019s directed at nassim taleb , the black swan guy and here\u2019s a sample : mountebanks [ \u2026 ]\nlike taleb , you remain unable to name one of them models , or suggest a useful alternative . stating that \u201cmodels sometimes don\u2019t work\u201d is as useful as \u201csometimes boats sink . \u201d stating where they don\u2019t work , why , and how to fix them is useful . taleb is not useful , relevant or even much of anything beyond a third rate charlatan who impresses the rubes with big words .\na central challenge of strategy is that we have to make choices now , but the payoffs occur in a future environment we cannot fully know or control . a critical step in embracing uncertainty is to try to characterize exactly what variety of it you face\u2014a surprisingly rare activity at many companies . our work over the years has emphasized four levels of uncertainty . level one offers a reasonably clear view of the future : a range of outcomes tight enough to support a firm decision . at level two , there are a number of identifiable outcomes for which a company should prepare . at level three , the possible outcomes are represented not by a set of points but by a range that can be understood as a probability distribution . level four features total ambiguity , where even the distribution of outcomes is unknown .\non sept . 10 , 2009 former trader and bestselling author nassim taleb did something that he very seldom does : he wore a tie . taleb has oftentimes publicly expressed his distaste for the blood - constraining artifacts , as well as for those who tend to don them , so the lebanese - american let the world know that was a very special day for him by betraying a sacred personal disposition .\n[ \u2026 ] 21 , 2009 scott locklin dismisses taleb in a recent post . i won\u2019t get into the quant debate , as i\u2019m not qualified to judge , but i will pick up [ \u2026 ]\nwhile i am not a taleb fan ( he had his own black swan and became exactly the reviled expert his own books warn us about ) , your hostility in this case seems out of place .\ndescription : author of ' the black swan ' and ' fooled by randomness ' former trader nassim nicholas taleb illustrates the concept of the ' barbell strategy ' - a risk hedging strategy robust to losses .\nif you are scratching your head in utter confusion , do not worry . i will continue to delve into this topic with examples and pictures so that we can all grasp the basics . the general idea for the strategy is that options inherently trade at an implied volatility that is higher than realized volatility on average . some academics ( nassim taleb ) believe that options trade at a higher implied volatility because black - scholes assumes a normal , bell shaped , distribution in stock returns . we can all agree that stock returns are anything but normal after going through the extreme volatility of 2008 . in fact , during the 4th quarter of 2008 the s & p 500 had moves in excess of + / - 5 % during 25 % of the trading days . if we assume that the s & p 500 has a long - term standard deviation of 20 % on average , then a 5 % daily move is in excess of 4 standard deviations . in a nutshell , equity markets are fat - tailed , meaning that observations that are far away from the mean happen much more frequently than a normal distribution can account for . nassim taleb would argue that these \u201cblack swan\u201d events more than wipe out the small profits from selling options .\nanother problematic example comes from taleb\u2019s disdain for mathematics in economics . he has misstated his case . a minority of economics , finance , and marketing faculty believe that economics has become nothing more than calculus . taleb\u2019s disdain comes from falsificationists\u2019 philosophy . there are two types of theories : theories that have been disproved ( e . g . , newtonian physics ) and theories that cannot be disproved given current research methods .\nfunny , i\u2019m pretty sure the sharpe ratio does pretty well at noticing that taleb\u2019s fund is a massive pile of suck . feel free to pick any other performance metric : yearly returns , cumulative returns , sortino ratio , bias ratio ; doesn\u2019t matter : his fund still amounts to \u201ccapital assets destruction model . \u201d wheras betting against taleb\u2019s dumb strat is a good business , and tail risks can apparently be managed .\n> taleb doesn ' t point one situation when mad works better than sd ( i pointed out some where sd works better than mad ) he also doesn ' t address obvious problems which such substitutions create .\nyou state that\nstandard deviation tells you how volatile measurements are\n. but taleb shows how financial markets are non - gaussian and have\nfat tails\nand gives the data and the supporting arguments .\nthough , i do not fully agree to the second part of your analysis as i think you miss taleb\u2019s point . \u2013 a black swan event is by definition unex\u0001p\u0001ected . the best we can do is hedge against those events . when taleb says one shall be long on options , it is only a matter of the capped loss they provide ( even if the payoff may be lower than selling options ) . you may make less money than in shorting implied volatility , but you are hedged against a potential black swan . you\u2019re saying taleb being wrong does not make sense at that particular point , as you\u2019re target is different .\nfor nearly more than 50 years , going back to lewis fry richardson , it\u2019s been known that the cumulative distribution of wars by size follows a rough power law , the number of events larger than size s being proportional to 1 / s raised to an exponent \u03b1 . this is also an approximation , of course , because there is an absolute maximum possible size for a conflict \u2014 it can\u2019t be more than then entire population . hence , the power law form can only hold over a certain range . to take this into account , cirillo and taleb also rescale the data to take into account the finite size of the human population ."]}

did every inspired person speak in a single different language and together they were speaking the languages of all the nations ? was it one sound emanating and changed during transmission so that the hearers heard their own language ? if it was a miracle of hearing , what was that sound ? were the people conscious of what they were saying or were they completely overtaken by a divine power and had no comprehension about what they were speaking ? was it a heavenly , non - human or prayer language ? did this miracle continue after the first - century ? how did this tongues - event get passed down to the next generation ? did it become part of the church liturgy ?\nas a person who attends a charismatic church and involved in these type of communities for decades , i wanted the results to parallel their experiences . unfortunately , the findings did not allow for this . everyone who approaches the 2000 year narrative on speaking in tongues has to allow history to speak for itself \u2013 not to rewrite history to justify contemporary experience .\na more contemporary example is reinhard bonnke . bonnke is a german - born evangelist whose work in africa , especially nigeria has earned him the rank of one the top preachers of all time in respect to audience reach . the example here is his public speaking in tongues at a large indoor gathering somewhere in asia . his christ for the nations website claims over 55 million documented decisions for christ under his ministry .\nthese are the families of the sons of noah , after their generations , in their nations : and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood .\ndor\u00e9 based his tower of babel on the minaret of the great mosque of samarra , in present day iraq . the minaret is 52 m high and has a spiralling cone .\ni will ascend above the heights of the clouds ;

( 1 ) as to the preceding topics , what has been already said will be sufficient . we might next proceed to consider , and that in no slight or cursory manner , the philosophical account which moses gives us of the confusion of languages ; for he speaks in the following manner :\nand all the earth had one pronunciation , and there was one language among all men . and it came to pass , as they were moving from the east , that they found a plain in the land of shinar , and dwelt there . and one man said to his neighbour , come , let us make bricks , and let us burn them with fire ; and they had bricks for stone , and asphalt for mortar . and they said , come , let us build ourselves a city , and a tower whose head shall reach to heaven ; and let us make for ourselves a name , before we are scattered over the face of all the earth . and the lord came down to see the city , and the tower , which the sons of men had builded . and the lord said , behold , all mankind is one race , and there is but one language among them all ; and they have begun to do this thing , and now there will not fail unto them anything of all the things which they desire to do . come , let us go down and confuse their language there , so that each may not understand the voice of his neighbour . and the lord scattered them from thence over the face of all the earth , and they desisted from building the city , and the tower . on this account , the name of it was called confusion , because there the lord confused the languages of all the earth , and from thence the lord scattered them over the face of all the earth .\n{ 1 } { # ge 11 : 1 . }\nso the lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth : and they left off to build the city .\nif biblical archaeology is defined loosely as \u201cthe study of the ancient things related to the bible , . . .\nhe disappointeth the devices of the crafty , so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise .\nthis event sent by god was the ultimate cause of the early separation of mankind , their dispersal throughout the earth , and their division into races and nations .\none of the primary areas of the near east where civilization began is the tigris - euphrates river valley , comprising portions of modern syria and iraq . this region , the fertile valley between the two rivers , has been known since the times of the ancient greeks as mesopotamia , literally \u201cthe land between the rivers . \u201d this area of course was the home of many peoples familiar to us from general ancient history and the old testament , such as the assyrians and babylonians . before these peoples a group known as the sumerians , the creators of classic mesopotamian culture , inhabited the southern part of the valley . how and when did civilization start in this region ? in order to at least partially answer this question , we will need to examine both written and archaeological source material . the earliest of that archaeological material comes from cultures in the valley that did not as yet know the art of writing .\nmetaethicists have long been interested in the meaning of the words ' good ' , ' ought ' , and ' reasons ' . many are persuaded that , although we might analyze one or another of these words in terms of the others , there ' s no breaking out of the circle of normative concepts when explaining the meaning of such words . this has led to the prominence of three main kinds of metaethical view . nonnaturalists explain the irreducibility of the meaning of normative words by claiming that normative words denote sui generis normative properties , supervenient on but not identical to natural properties . a posteriori reductive naturalists explain this irreducibility by claiming that normative words express different concepts from words characteristic of description of the natural facts , but they propose ( or at least hold out hope for ) a substantive empirical reduction of the properties denoted by these words to natural properties . expressivists explain the irreducibility by claiming that normative words play a fundamentally different role in expressing our mental states to that played by words expressing representations of pieces of the natural world .\nstephen finlay is associate professor of philosophy at the university of southern california . he is the author of

complicated . i won ' t go into many of the nuances about how finlay thinks this works at the interface of semantics and pragmatics of normative discourse , except to note two things .\nmesopotamia ,

apologetics ministry dedicated to demonstrating the historical reliability of the bible through archaeological and biblical research .\nthere is , however , a rich tradition in moral philosophy of insisting that moral ends aren ' t like this . aristotle argued that living morally isn ' t a state of affairs plausibly conceived as an outcome of actions like telling the truth , paying one ' s debts , helping the needy , etc . rather doing these sorts of things is , on the aristotelian view , the immediate actualization of the ongoing activity of living morally . can finlay ' s view make sense of that idea ?\nthe other records , transmitted orally for countless generations , are inconsistent . some speak of \u201cstrange speech , \u201d others of new languages .\nthis summary fills in

readers of sumerian . it must be remembered that these fields are highly specialized . e . a . speiser and b . landsberger , who insisted that many of the words in sumerian documents are not sumerian words at all , led the linguists and philologists in the early days . landsberger pointed out that this is especially true of words pertaining to agriculture , showing that the basic farming

rehearsals , where there was a lot of development of characters ( even a character name change ) . a good portion of the discussion was on the comedic elements of the film , where pace and timing of a performance can be the difference between a gag getting a laugh , or it falling like a lead balloon . in a 72 , time is restricted so honing in on those comedic performances can be stressful . however

( 99 ) and it is very beautifully said by moses , in the form of a parable , when he speaks of the world as if it resembled a brick ; for the world appears to stand and to be firmly fixed like a brick in a house , as far as the vision of the sight of the outward senses can inform us , but it has a very swift motion , and one which is able to outstrip all particular motions .

everything you need to sharpen your knowledge of death , the high cost of living .\ni ' m still not sure how the high cost of living made it onto canada ' s top ten , let alone how it took the best canadian first feature award at tiff last year . it ' s just not very good .\ntoronto - born chow\u2019s short films daypass and the hill played numerous festivals and were broadcast worldwide . the high cost of living won best canadian first feature at the 2010 toronto international film festival . she directed an adaptation of the popular 1979 novel flowers in the attic , and is in pre - production on the possibility of fireflies .\nms . chow\u2019s direction hits every mark and narrative turning point with the unwavering , one - note insistence of the relentlessly plinking piano score . the result is a strange simulacrum of dramatic complexity , a work of superficial depth . saved from pretentiousness by its transparent sincerity , \u201cthe high cost of living\u201d is hard to hate but even harder to like .\ndeath : the high cost of living is a short , graphic novel that follows the character of sexton furnival , a sixteen -

intentioned and earnest in its ambitions that you can almost forgive the banality of its every scene .\nartist : jamey johnson song : high cost of living album : that lonesome song director : clifton collins jr . production company : stonefree productions clifton collins jr . official web links : website : urltoken imdb : urltoken myspace : urltoken facebook : urltoken twitter : urltoken\nthe price of the staple is still high , with a 7 . 7 per cent increase compared to june last year when it retailed at sh110 . 57 .\nbut henry has his own problems . his past misdeeds are catching up , and he soon discovers that the police are steadily closing in . the inevitable collision will force both henry and nathalie to confront loss , labor and life , and to ultimately decide whether the cost of living is worth the price .\nmore recently , a study by the economists peter ganong and daniel shoag analyzed the patterns of migration between u . s . regions . in previous decades , workers of all kinds moved to high - wage states , and particularly to high - wage cities such as boston , san francisco , and new york , to increase their opportunities . by the middle of the nineteen - nineties , things had changed . no longer were low - wage workers moving to these cities . instead , the migration to high - wage locales became increasingly limited to those who already _ _ had high - paying jobs . \u201cnew york and california have always been places of economic opportunity ,\nganong said .\nthe question is : does that opportunity also come with the need to pay a bajillion dollars in rent ? \u201d\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\na slacker is forced to work for his father -

eight billion dollars invested in technology last year was concentrated in san francisco and san jose , california . but economic vitality of all sorts has become increasingly concentrated in a few desirable locales . brooklyn is the country\u2019s third leading locale for new businesses ; miami -

my own guess would be , \u201cnot many . \u201d the american ned rorem and the russian alfred schnittke , each of whom have written four string quartets , are exceptions . yet more important are the works of elliott carter , who belongs in any history of the string quartet .\nclaude debussy , a pianist of ability , if never the virtuoso he had once hoped to become , was relatively late in developing his own characteristically poetic piano style . the two arabesques , of which the g major is the second , are early works , written between 1888 and 1891 , are well known , and were to become an established part of contemporary domestic repertoire . debussy ' s later piano music increases in complexity and in its evocative content from about 1905 , with the publication of the first set of images and the revision of the suite bergamasque .\nwhen played with the right balance of delicacy and fury , mendelssohn\u2019s sizzling string octet , for four violins , two violas , and two cellos , opus 20 , in e flat ( 1825 ) , brings audiences to their feet . to write a true full - length eight - voice piece for strings is basically impossible , but mendelssohn , at sixteen , did not know that . no one else among the great composers has managed it . 88 with it , mendelssohn became , and still is , the youngest composer to write a work that remains in the classical repertoire .\nlured by the evil genius , siegfried finds himself on the banks of a mysterious lake . in the shimmering patches of moonlight on the water , visions of bewitched swan maidens rise up before him . siegfried catches sight of odette , the most beautiful of the maidens . he is spell - bound , deeply struck by her beauty . at long last , he has found his romantic ideal of love . he swears to odette that he will love her foreverand be faithful to her .\nlike his countryman smetana , the czech composer leos jan\u00e1cek w rote autobiographical quartets . both these pieces expressed his autumnal , unfulfilled love for another man\u2019s wife . as befitting the quartets of a great opera composer , jan\u00e1cek\u2019s string voices seem to be conversing throughout . these beautiful works present romantic storytelling in twentieth - century sound . fortunately , now that czech ensembles are bringing their great quartet tradition to western audiences , jan\u00e1cek\u2019s masterpieces have caught on among north american performers and are programmed fairly often .\ntradition , continuity and an impressive repertoire : these are the solid pillars supporting the bayerische staatsoper \u2013 one of the world\u2019s leading opera houses . it can look back proudly on a cultural history of over 350 years . thanks to a court tradition , opera found a home in munich in 1653 ; since then its music - historical and sociopolitical development has continued in a way unparalleled anywhere else , worldwide . the bayerische staatsoper , with some 600 , 000 persons attending its over 450 performances each year , makes a major contribution to munich\u2019s reputation as one of the great international cultural capitals .\nwhat distinguishes the syncretists is their attempt , in one way or another , to combine the various discoveries of modernism with the communicative power of romanticism . they want the classical audience back , but at the same time they don\u2019t want to abandon all of modernism\u2019s aesthetic advances . they are unwilling to return to the straightforward scales , keys , and harmonies of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries , but in other ways they have embraced the romantic aesthetic \u2014 its direct appeals to emotion , its story - telling , its dramatic journeys , its philosophical meditations .\nthe fifteenth returns to straightforward tonality and thus is as easily approachable as the middle quartets . but it does not sound like they do . its textures are bare , full of silences in one or another of the instruments ; its mood is grief . the piece is unique in the quartet repertoire in consisting of five slow movements . the dark key , e flat minor , one of the most awkward of keys for string players , was perhaps chosen in honor of tchaikovsky\u2019s last quartet in the same key . both quartets seem to mourn the tragedies of their composers\u2019 own lives , and , for the listener , to commemorate the ineluctable sorrows of the human condition .\nfirst complete edition of kraehmer\u2019s concertante work op . 24 in a modern edition with critical commentary . the first set of variations is based on a waltz theme , the second on a more serious , mozartian theme , the third on a theme with alpine motifs . the composition has clear and exact phrasing and dynamic markings and is therefore a very good example for the performance of early romantic recorder music . two original themes with variations , op . 24 , for solo recorder ( 1830 ) . editor : p . adams , dolce editions dol 215 ( published 1993 ) .\nthe plot of carl maria von weber ' s romantic elfin opera , first performed at london ' s covent garden in 1826 , is quite startling . when oberon , king of the fairies quarrels with his queen titania , it is the humans , of all creatures , who are called upon to solve the problem . titania will only consider reconciliation , on the condition that a human couple affirm their love within a life or death scenario . oberon ' s servant puck already has somebody in mind \u2013 the crusader h\u00fcon of bordeaux , who is in love with rezia , daughter of the calif .\nmendelssohn himself had encouraged schumann by arranging performances of his work in leipzig with the gewandhaus orchestra , which he directed . a man of diverse talents , sociable and broadly educated , he retained an element of classicism in his work , an ability to use again old forms , coupled with an economy of means , while nevertheless providing music of contemporary romantic appeal . the venetian boat song included here , not the only one he wrote , appeared in the second volume of his genre pieces , songs without words , graceful vignettes calculated to bring a blush of delight to the cheeks of any young person .\nwagner ' s coeval and italian counterpart , giuseppe verdi ( 1813 - 1901 ) , inherited the mantle of italian romantic opera from his predecessors and sustained it , almost single - handedly , for over half a century . his ideas , like wagner ' s , developed and changed during that span , but essentially he remained bound to the traditional number ( unitized ) format of opera , the idea of the vocal artist as the primary protagonist of the drama , and the accompaniment function of the orchestra . only in his final works did he abandon the number opera system and employ the continuous music mode of his german rival .\nit was the demands of the church that required a musical notation , and so the earliest written music was largely church music . the plainchant of this time was still unaccompanied , but new developments were starting to appear . the singing might alternate between two parts for solo singers or choirs , or two parts might be sung together in a style called organum . in early organum a second part simply followed the main part at a fixed interval so that the two parts moved in parallel . later the supporting parts became more independent of the main one and this freedom led to early forms of harmony . outside of the church ' s influence , minstrels and troubadours were entertaining in the castles of europe , with music and song a key part of their unwritten repertoire .\nof schubert\u2019s fifteen quartets , these last three are the masterpieces . no . 14 , in d minor , is by far the most often performed \u2014 in fact , too often ; it is one of the very few quartets that has attained the status of warhorse . nevertheless , it is a great work . schubert\u2019s quartets were the first to build on beethoven\u2019s romantic foundations , but in one sense they resemble mozart\u2019s : their composer thought primarily in terms of a singable line . the second movement of the \u201cdeath and the maiden\u201d quartet consists of variations on schubert\u2019s song of that name . the quartet\u2019s companion piece , in a minor , is its equal , though it is programmed and recorded much less frequently .\nthe romantic era was another period of rapid evolution in music . from the foundations laid down by the classical masters , composers were now composing from the heart . the fact that composers were no longer employees but independent meant that they could follow their own direction , composing music that pleased themselves . of course composers still had to live so they accepted commissions , made deals with publishing houses , composed music with commercial value , and promoted their own music through concerts across europe and other parts of the world . many composers of the time were also very skilled performers or conductors and would therefore go on tour with their new works . thus composers were among the celebrities of the time , and there a degree of showmanship involved with ever longer and more elaborate works played by huge orchestras and choirs .\ninterior designer moon shing - hong ( moses chan ) and his wealthy good friend tin hak - kan ( mak cheung ching ) open up a design partnership company . in order to establish an ideal and happy family with his girlfriend to tsz - tsin ( oceane zhu ) , shing - hong bought a property and is now waiting for tsz - tsin & apos ; s return from studying abroad . unexpectedly , shing - hong & apos ; s elder sister , moon shing - oi ( lo yuen yan ) , has already leased the property out to the most sought - after cantonese opera artiste , kan kit ( joyce koi ) , without his consent . failing to rescind the contract , shing - hong tries to drive away kan kit at all cost . to his surprise , kan kit & apos ; s agent lin sau - fong ( louise lee ) is despotic and indifferent and she refuses to give in , which puts shing - hong at his wit & apos ; s end . since then , the two parties have been at daggers drawn . but the situation changes in significant ways when hak - kan out of the blue starts courting kan kit . having had a deeper understanding of kan kit , shing - hong manages to help hak - kan and kan kit get engaged . because of that , shing - hong and kan kit not only bury the hatchet but also develop a subtle rapport with each other . shortly afterwards , kan kit suddenly has a traffic accident , following which she even finds her biological mother ; whereas hak - kan also calls off the engagement . on top of that , it turns out that tsz - tsin returned to hong kong a long time ago and became a two - timer . . . . . . change will always happen no matter what you plan . so the question is whether life is like a repertoire or a repertoire reflects life .\nwhile classical music became more elite , popular music ( which had been around for centuries ) found a new mass audience , with the advent of recordings , radio and television . these new media had an insatiable demand for music , and film music in particular required much original music and recruited composers educated in the classical traditions . popular music in turn had a strong influence on serious music , and jazz and other ideas became incorporated into the concert repertoire . the same electricity which powered the new media , also fuelled new gadgets for amplification and powered new instruments such as the electric guitar and synthesisers . more recently it has become possible to create and manipulate sound solely within computers , in a similar way to their use for creating graphics and animations for those same media . with all these developments music is much more accessible around the world , and as styles and techniques are invented , re - invented and combined this in turn stimulates further invention and discovery .\nif the romantic period saw the start of some fragmentation into different schools , this trend continued and accelerated into the modern era . there were those who continued to develop older traditions : the neo - classicists , the late romantics and the impressionist schools still prevailed , and those who took a new path with atonal music , serialism and later with experimental and minimalist music . some composers created thematic material which could hardly be called\nmelodies\n, introducing dissonant intervals and different scales , and unusual rhythms and cross - rhythms were explored . there were composers , considered extreme by some audiences , who used traditional instruments in unconventional ways , overturned principles previously considered fundamental , and questioned the roles of composer , musician and listener . experimental composers used randomisation techniques , or gave unusual instructions which might not include any conventional musical notation at all .\nto my ears , the best introduction to beethoven\u2019s quartets is not the group of early quartets , the six of opus 18 , which are overshadowed by haydn\u2019s opus 76 and 77 . begin instead with the first of the three razumovsky quartets , opus 59 no . 1 , in f major . the cello melody in the first few measures swings open the door to the romantic century . once you are hooked by this piece , which charms the heart while it is busy demolishing what music had been before it , turn to its emotional opposite , intense and mysterious , the opus 59 no . 2 , in e minor . listen your way through the difficult opus 59 no . 3 , in c major , then the delightful \u201charp\u201d quartet , so called because of the pizzicato arpeggios in the first movement , and finally the violent \u201cserioso . \u201d these five are the \u201cmiddle quartets\u201d and are often recorded together for cd albums .\nthe title of willie nelson ' s solo debut on blue note records , american classic , refers as much to the man himself as to the storied tin pan alley repertoire he explores on this elegant new set . while its common now for mature pop artists to attempt to put their own stamp on the american songbook , nelson practically invented the approach . he set the standard for , well , playing the standards more than thirty years ago with stardust , perhaps this outlaw entertainers most daring move , an album that many industry pundits thought would get him laughed off the charts and out of the biz . instead , the booker t . jones - produced stardust which showcased material from the gershwins , duke ellington , hoagy carmichael and kurt weill , among others , in spare , easy - going arrangements became the most successful album of his career thus far . it reached # 1 on the billboards country albums chart ; racked up more than five million in sales ; earned nelson a country male vocal performance grammy ; and , most significantly , helped to transform a colorful , middle - aged cult figure into a mainstream star .\nthe theatrical tendency was to portray a widening range of emotion and dramatic situation . though such writing called for ever stronger musical treatment , the early romantic composers had not clearly broken with the long held concept that music had to be pleasant to be good . wagner turned this corner . his advanced chromaticism and delay in resolving suspensions resulted in harmonies that were audacious for the time . he frequently approached the boundaries of tonality and , even today , with our dissonance - jaded ears , we can find sounds in wagner that cannot be called pleasant . his successors would go still further in this direction to be sure , but it was wagner who saw that dramatic music needed to be free to portray a complete range of situation , the vile and unspeakable as well as the divine and transcendental . henceforth , music would express a widening gamut of emotion , and singers would need the requisite aural and musical skills to deal with complex musical structure and dissonant harmonic surroundings . as a measure of where we have come since then , it might be noted that in vienna , in 1863 , the premiere of\nmuch of the repertoire , nelson explains , was picked by tommy and joe .\nthey came to the house and we sat around and talked about songs , like ' the nearness of you ' and ' angel eyes , ' which is one of my favorite jazz standards . we talked about a lot of great standards . the vintage tunes they chose ,\nsays nelson ,\nare of the same quality as stardust , but we did them a little differently . tommy put together the band , with guys like joe , who ' s an incredible musician and arranger . stardust was recorded with my band , but this was done with musicians who were coming , musically , from another place . you can ' t beat the players you have on this one , they ' re as good as they get .\nthe key to the project ,\nnotes lipuma ,\nwas that we all realized how much we loved bob wills and the texas playboys . that brought us all together . i was a big fan of wills , as was joe ; willie , of course , was a huge fan , as well as a huge fan of django reinhardt . so after we chose the songs and got the keys and all that stuff , we left a day or so to figure out what made the most sense as far as willie was concerned , what willie felt the most comfortable with . we ended up with a django / bob wills feel to the arrangements and willie fell right into it . ' the nearness of you ' was one of the first things that jumped right out , and from there we ended up doing about 16 or 17 tracks , then knocking it down to the ones we put on the album .\nexecutive producer : li yan fang scriptwriter : siu lai king / huang yu de interior designer moon shing - hong ( moses chan ) and his wealthy good friend tin hak - kan ( mak cheung ching ) open up a design partnership company . in order to establish an ideal and happy family with his girlfriend to tsz - tsin ( oceane zhu ) , shing - hong bought a property and is now waiting for tsz - tain\u2019s return from studying abroad . unexpectedly , shing - hong\u2019s elder sister , moon shing - oi ( lo yeuen yan ) , has already leased the property out to the most sought - after cantonese opera artiste , kan kit ( joyce koi ) , without his consent . failing to rescind the contract , shing - hong tries to drive away kan kit at all cost . to his surprise , kan kit\u2019s agent lin sau - fong ( louise lee ) is despotic and indifferent and she refuses to give in , which puts shing - hong at his wit\u2019s end . since then , the two parties have been at daggers drawn . but the situation changes in significant ways when hak - kan out of the blue starts courting kan kit . having had a deeper understanding of kan kit , shing - hong manages to help hak - kan and kan kit get engaged . because of that , shing - hong and kan kit not oly bury the hatchet but also develop a subtle rapport with each other . shortly afterwards , kan kit suddenly has a traffic accident , following which she even finds her biological mother ; whereas hak - kan also calls off the engagement . on top of that , it turns out that tsz - tsin returned to hong kong a long time ago and became a two timer\u2026 change will always happen no matter what you plan . so the question is whether life is like a repertorie or a repertoire reflects life .\nencouraging nelson to record stardust was bruce lundvall , now blue note ' s head , who had the prescience to sign nelson to columbia in the 70s and , thirty years later , offer him a home at blue note . nelsons first effort for the label was his acclaimed 2008 collaboration with wynton marsalis , two men with the blues , a spirited live set that debuted at # 20 on the billboard pop chart ( nelsons highest charting since always on my mind hit # 2 in 1982 ) . fans around the world know that the adventurous nelson can sing just about anything and with just about anyone he pleases . as he sees it ,\nthe more songs you know , the more musicians you listen to , the more writers you hear , the better equipped you are to decide where you want to go next . thats why i want to listen to everyone and everything and then decide which way i want to go . then , of course , i might change my mind and go in an entirely different direction . but at least i have all these options .\non american classic , he ' s joined , on vocals and piano , by diana krall in an intimate rendition of\nif i had you\nthat feels more like pillow talk than mere wishful thinking .

the construction and enhancement of entertainment franchises .\nwell you know the original poem ' eskimo nell ' is pretty raunchy . we were just trying to hypothesise about what kind of a true story might have been the basis of such a poem . i originally wanted to make the film in the states , at the time of the revisionist western , but learned quite quickly that the poem is unknown in the states . it ' s known only in the \u201cenglish world\u201d , meaning canada , australia and england .\nfor 21 years , the houston production guide , in association with the houston film commission , has been the industry directory used by producers , location managers , event planners , national trade conventions , ad agencies , and corporations when seeking houston area production equipment , crews , editors , cameras , studios , graphics , music , talent , or even caterers , restaurants , hotels , limos , aircraft , tents , etc . \u2013 the houston production guide is the source .\nso far , the most successful transmedia franchises have emerged when a single creator or creative unit maintains control over the franchise . hollywood might well study the ways that lucasfilm has managed and cultivated its indiana jones and star wars franchises . when indiana jones went to television , for example , it exploited the medium\u2019s potential for extended storytelling and character development : the young indiana jones chronicles showed us the character take shape against the backdrop of various historical events and exotic environments . when star wars moved into print , its novels expanded the timeline to show us events not contained in the film trilogies , or recast the stories around secondary characters , as did the tales of the cantina series , which fleshes out those curious - looking aliens in the background of the original movie . when star wars went to games , those games didn\u2019t just enact film events ; they showed us what life would be like for a jedi trainee or a bounty hunter .\nwith this thin veneer of medical ' therapy ' , or whatever , these films were being shown in these little underground cinemas and so on around the place . they were all essentially softcore , and we decided to make a kind of send -

honored means of memorializing a loved one after cremation . there are several methods for the release of ashes that can be personalized in any number of ways . much of the decision depends on the wishes of the deceased and how those left behind want to honor that person\u2019s memory . consider your choices carefully ; once the ashes are scattered they are gone forever , unless you keep a portion of the remains for remembrance or as part of a keepsake .\nearth and ashes is a story of such spareness and power it leaves the reader reeling . set during the russian occupation of afghanistan , it is a fable about war , family , home and tradition . an old man and his grandson sit in a deserted landscape of dusty roads and looming mountains . what are they waiting for ? as we watch them we learn their story . . . atiq rahimi has managed to condense centuries of afghan history into his short tale of three very different generations . at the same time , he has created a story that is universal in its power .\nfor all the sympathy the book generates , the characters remain in many ways bewildering to a western reader . here one is forced to accept a culture different not only on its surface but also in its very conception of human relations . these characters think things we would never think and act in ways we would never act . earth and ashes opens a way into afghan life but keeps that life unfamiliar . this is one of its triumphs : it does not allow its readers the arrogance of identification .\n\u201canyone seeking to understand why afghanistan is difficult and what decades of violence have done to its people should read atiq rahimi . he is a superb guide to a hard and complex land . \u201d \u2014ryan crocker , former us ambassador to pakistan and iraq , and us envoy to afghanistan \u201cthe blasted dreamscape of rahimi\u2019s story and his tightly controlled prose make this a sobering literary testament to the horrors of war . \u201d \u2014 publishers weekly \u201cit has the feel of a book of great antiquity and authority ; you could more readily level the afghan mountains than damage the dreaming culture that earth and ashes both embodies and silently trusts . \u201d \u2014 london times \u201cwith this novel rahimi picks up a shard of broken glass and sees the whole truth of his devastated country . \u201d \u2014 der spiegel ( germany )\n. on these coals no incense was placed , but they were thrown at once to the earth . the new emblem , therefore , is the taking of coals , and scattering them abroad as a symbol of the destruction that was about to ensue .\n. this is a new symbol , designed to furnish a new representation of future events . by the former it had been shown that there would be much prayer offered ; by this it is designed to show that , notwithstanding the prayer that would be offered , great and fearful calamities would come upon the earth . this is symbolized by casting the censer upon the earth , as if the prayers were not heard any longer , or as if prayer were now in vain .\nthere are a variety of creative options for how and where the ashes are scattered . often , cremated remains are dispersed at a place that had personal or philosophical significance to the deceased . it can be a favorite destination such as a beach , forest or meadow ; or someplace that reflects the person\u2019s everyday life such as a park , golf course or even their own home . keep in mind when choosing a location that there are laws governing the scattering of cremation remains . these laws vary from state to state and will affect how and where the ashes can be scattered , and whether you will need a permit to do so .\nmemorial crafting \u2013 a portion of the remains can be preserved inside a keepsake\u2026or crafted into one . for example , a small amount of ashes can be handcrafted into glass - blown tokens , jewelry or glass art and inscribed with a memorial message . cremation ashes can also be mixed into charcoal , paint and tattoo ink , or used in a more involved process to create objects such as fireworks or even diamonds . many memorial crafts such as these are created by artists all over the country , so take the time to explore what possibilities are available to you .\natiq rahimi ( b . 1962 , kabul ) moved to pakistan in 1984 and finally to france where he received political asylum ; he then studied at the sorbonne . in 1992 - 1995 he shot several documentaries for french television . in 2000 his first novel , earth and ashes , was warmly received by french critics , and in 2004 the author transferred it to the screen as his first feature . the film was chosen for the section un certain regard at the recent festival in cannes . rahimi published another novel in france in 2002 , les milles maisons du r\u00eave et de la terreur .\ncreate and plan additional remembrances and celebrations as the spacecraft orbits overhead or reaches key locations .\natiq rahimi\u2019s earth and ashes tells an enormous story by way of a very small one . the narrative , written in the second person , describes the journey of an old man , dastaguir , with his grandson , yassin . they are going to see the grandfather\u2019s son , the grandson\u2019s father , murad , who works in a mine and wasn\u2019t at home when his afghan village was destroyed by the russians and nearly everyone was killed . the first half of the book describes dastaguir\u2019s wait with yassin at the roadside checkpoint for a truck to take them the final leg of their weeklong journey to the mine ; the second half is about dastaguir\u2019s ride to and arrival at his destination .\nearth and ashes is the spare , powerful story of an afghan man , dastaguir , trying desperately to reach his son murad , who has left his village to earn a living working at a mine . in the meantime the village has been bombed by the russian army , and dastaguir , with his newly - deaf grandson yassin in tow , must reach murad to tell him of the carnage . the old man is beset on all sides by sorrow , that of his grandson , who cannot understand , that of his son , who does not yet know , and his own , made even crueler by the message he must deliver .\nbrevity is the sister of talent ,\nwrote anton chekhov , thinking of his short stories , in 1889 . his comment applies equally , if uneasily , to the heterogeneous fictions caught between the novel and the short story . post - conrad , james , woolf and rhys , the short novel is still often seen as a second - class form , lacking both the novel ' s scope and range and the manoeuvrability of the short story proper , which raymond carver loved because it\ncan be written and read in one sitting\n. when the writing calls for a more muscular definition , publishers offer unwieldy conjunctions (\nshort fictions\n,\nshort prose\n) or duck the question altogether with\nshorts\n. two fictions from france , earth and ashes and desolation , inhabit this genre - bending ground .\nthe story of the village ' s destruction emerges bit by bit , while dastaguir distracts himself from his grief with simple objects : an apple , stones , chewing tobacco . following the old man ' s jumps of attention , earth and ashes progresses in choppy , disconnected paragraphs . even its conversations fail : yassin , deafened by the blast , repeats\nwater !\n,\nall dead\nor\ndon ' t !\n, unresponsive to his grandfather ' s pleas and rebukes . his uncomprehending deafness mirrors the book ' s own strangeness : filtered through dastaguir ' s apathetic gaze , its gathered fragments remain oddly unaffecting .\n8 : 1 - 6 the seventh seal is opened . there was profound silence in heaven for a space ; all was quiet in the church , for whenever the church on earth cries through oppression , that cry reaches up to heaven ; or it is a silence of expectation . trumpets were given to the angels , who were to sound them . the lord jesus is the high priest of the church , having a golden censer , and much incense , fulness of merit in his own glorious person . would that men studied to know the fulness that is in christ , and endeavoured to be acquainted with his excellency . would that they were truly persuaded that christ has such an office as that of intercessor , which he now performs with deep sympathy . no prayers , thus recommended , was ever denied hearing and acceptance . these prayers , thus accepted in heaven , produced great changes upon earth . the christian worship and religion , pure and heavenly in its origin and nature , when sent down to earth and conflicting with the passions and worldly projects of sinful men , produced remarkable tumults , here set forth in prophetical language , as our lord himself declared , lu 12 : 49 .\nthere is some variety among the mss . in the order of the words here used . some place \u201clightnings\u201d before \u201cvoices . \u201d these signs and sounds herald the approach of judgments . god has arisen in answer to the cry of his people . \u201cthe earth shook and trembled . there went up a smoke and a fire : coals were kindled at it . at the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed , hailstones and coals of fire . the lord also thundered in the heavens , and the highest gave his voice , hailstones and coals of fire . yea , he sent out his arrows , and scattered them : he shot out lightnings and discomfited them . . . he delivered me from my strong enemy\u201d (\nscattering by water \u2013 the remains are scattered onto a body of water from the shore , a dock or a boat . loved ones may place flowers , petals or floating candles into the water alongside the remains as a tribute . these will float on top of the water while the ashes sink below the surface .\nwritten by atiq rahimi , an afghan political exile in paris , and translated by erdag m goknar , earth and ashes was acclaimed in france as a baffling\nprodigy\n.\nnovel , short story , fable ?\nwondered one critic . at barely 60 pages , the question is apt . rahimi ' s book follows an old man , dastaguir , and his grandson , yassin , sole survivors of a russian bomb that devastated their village , as they carry the news to the mine where the boy ' s father works . their long wait at a dusty border post is narrated by dastaguir in a strained second person , both inviting the reader to share his experiences and insisting on his own detachment from them . the cumulative effect is one of shocked numbness : the old man speaks to himself as though to a stranger , issuing fragmented pleas , questions and instructions :\nput the box back . think of something else .\ncelestis memorial spaceflights make the dream of spaceflight a reality by launching a symbolic portion of cremated remains into near -

one pages long , more the length of an epic poem than a novel . it shares with poetry a simultaneous richness and discipline of language \u2013 one feels the economy of expression in every sentence , but there is a lushness , too , in the barren context of the narrative . the most lyrical writing is inside quotation marks , the author giving his characters a more poignant eloquence than he claims for himself , an eloquence that the translation seems to sustain . a shopkeeper says to dastaguir , \u201cyou know , father , sorrow can turn to water and spill from your eyes , or it can sharpen your tongue into a sword , or it can become a time bomb that , one day , will explode and destroy you . \u201d yassin has gone deaf from the sound of the bombs , but he attributes the quiet to the world rather than to himself , and he says , \u201cthe bomb was huge . it brought silence . the tanks took away people\u2019s voices and left . they even took grandfather\u2019s voice away . grandfather can\u2019t talk anymore , he can\u2019t scold me . \u201d\nthe caring and experienced professionals at solimine funeral homes are here to support you through this difficult time . we offer a range of personalized funeral , memorial and cremation services to suit your family\u2019s wishes and requirements .\nthe often spare and elliptical narration , and the very effective descriptions of the weariness and worry of the most simple actions and exchanges , work very well . this is a powerful , understated work -

- and horribly - - affected dastaguir and the village he comes from ; they also control the mine where murad works .\nyasmina reza , another parisian , has drawn on camus and houellebecq ' s brutal accounts of alienation for her own short novel . in desolation , translated by carol brown janeway , the ageing narrator , samuel , addresses a series of reflections and complaints to his absent son . samuel ' s mordant comments balance precariously between relish and bitterness : their acerbic charm is always on the verge of turning rancid .\nthis is an extraordinary short story or novella . it is the story of a grandfather and grandson travelling together to find their son / father respectively . it sounds like a simple story , but it is based during the russian occupation of afghanistan and blends great tragedy with honest thoughts and feelings of the characters whilst also making reference to the eleventh century , persian , book of kings . it is absolutely transferrable to the present day and could easily be a story of a family in the very recent past ! this book was a recommendation for me based on other books i had read . it was a great recommendation and i will definitely read more from this author .\nthe book is partly allegorical : the characters represent the problems of afghanistan and stand in for a much larger ravaged population . it conveys with heartbreaking clarity the quality of a destroyed country and its courageous , nearly annihilated inhabitants . what is perhaps most terrifying of all is that this book is set during the russian invasion of afghanistan ; this is how bad things were before the mujahideen and the taliban . we have become somewhat inured to the horror , so much of which we witnessed on news broadcasts , until we thought we knew it . here it is once again made incomprehensible to us . dastaguir and murad and yassin are the voices of this national despair , but the book is also the compelling narrative of individual afflictions . your heart is in your throat as dastaguir approaches the mine ; you are deeply pained by the sadness and confusion with which he approaches a world broken beyond recognition ; and you are filled with wonderment at the unbreachable fact of his survival . we get lost in his dreams and in his fears and most of all in his immediate quandary : is it better to go and tell murad what has happened , to bring such miserable news to someone who may now be innocent of it , or would it be better to turn around and go home , leaving murad some further time to live without this knowledge , which cannot do anything but injure him ? then again , would it injure him less to hear of it from his old father than to hear the dread words from a stranger ?\nwe receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us . like many websites , we employ\ncookies\nthat obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses celestis , advertisements , and other content served by or on behalf of celestis on other websites .\nhere , is to be understood the wrath of god , often in holy writ compared to fire , poured out upon the roman empire , or the visible church . upon which followed great judgments , and confusions , and tumults , expressed here , or ushered in , as before ,\nis a novella of only sixty -

shot sequence ironically illustrates this claim . in the first image , at the moment the goat slips in the distance , a puff of smoke appears in the lower right - hand side of the frame . a reverse angle match - on - action shot then shows the animal falling from above . from one image to the next , the camera shifts from one side of the mountain to the other . to fabricate an illusion of continuity , the film crew shot the goat , hauled its carcass up the side of the mountain , and threw it off again . by leaving the traces of this process in the film , however , the director undermines the illusion and exposes the artifice of montage .\nwhen a prisoner transport plane crashes , one prisoner , mark sheridan , skillfully escapes and saves lives at the same time . deputy sam gerard and his team of u . s . marshals pursue relentlessly , but gerard begins to suspect that there is more to the exceptional fugitive than what he has been told . meanwhile , sheridan struggles to avoid capture while seeking answers of his own . until the final scene , both gerard and sheridan are in jeopardy of the unknown .\nthe film ' s message was that there were different archetypal roles to be played by the talents of various apartment tenants to assist story in getting home , but they needed to be matched up correctly during her departure ceremony . heep received assistance from film critic harry farber ( bob balaban ) , but was misled in the match -

worship , the only other criticism is why it took so long to put this film together . taylor created three dubious memories in 2010 ; it premiered in early 2011 . the work did not receive strong reviews , and is already , at least temporarily , out of the repertory . but it\u2019s the creation of the dance , not the dance itself or its critical reception , which is the film\u2019s subject , so the length of time it took is only a somewhat irrelevant observation . and as for that hero -

examine the rich history of ethnographic film , including not only forgotten works such as the smithsonian - funded by aeroplane to pygmyland , stirling new guinea expedition ( 1927 ) , but also the extensive research footage stored in archives . ethnographic filmmakers , like their literary counterparts , should return to the scenes of earlier works . we need , for example , a film on the making of robert gardner ' s dead birds ( 1963 ) which also explores the remarkable transformations in the highlands of western new guinea after decades of indonesian rule .\nas clyde pressed the send button on the phone to the bomb -

painstakingly , passionately , near perfectly - of the small structures of the particular . a dark , humane masterpiece . roth is at the peak of his powers\n-\nthe times\n.\nthe word genius doesn ' t seem excessive - utterly plausible .\nthe plot against america\ncreates its reality magisterially , in long , fluid sentences that carry you beyond scepticism\n-\nthe guardian\n.\nmagnificent . roth is writing the best books of his life . he captures better than anyone the collision of public and private , the intrusion of history into the skin , the pores of every individual alive\n-\nthe guardian\n.\nits a book that is rich and diverse in its language as you would expect from philip roth and it gives incredible insight into the dichotomies faced by the american people with the prospect of another war in europe . in my opinion it is a book that should be a compulsory read in any syllabus covering the second world war or politics in general because although it is a work of fiction it demonstrates in an enlightened way how different racial types react to what is happening in the world . whether you would want your daughter or son fighting abroad for a cause that you had no direct connection with . why should our children get involved ? and yet how can we watch while people are being slaughtered in other countries because of their religious beliefs as we do today with muslims abroad being killed unbelievably by buddhists . is the world going mad ? but then are we the worlds policemen ? do we have that right ? or should we get involved and make the personal commitment of our children ' s lives because fundamentally genocide is heinous ? a thorny tome ! genocide is wrong wherever and whenever it occurs ? a thorny book !\nthis is an alternative history novel postulating what if charles lindbergh had become president in the 1940s as seen through the eyes of a jewish boy in new jersey . i get the feeling that the boyhood experiences are partly autobiographical , nothing wrong with that , and they are well written the alternative history components are very interesting and quite scary . lindbergh was influenced by antisemitism and whipped up an america first feeling in a large section of the us electorate . if he had won and kept the us out of the second world war then god knows what would have happened globally . thankfully in reality he came nowhere near winning and backed down after pearl harbor . this is a good well written book . my only criticism is that the narrative it is quite limited in scope , its new jersey , phillip roth and a bit of washington . i would have liked to know more about the wider usa during this time . but i guess this is because most of roth ' s work in autobiographical in nature .\nif there ' s only one thing you need to say about philip roth , then it has to be that he is absolutely brilliant . but . . if you have reached\nthe plot against america\nthen you are no doubt familiar with mr . roth ' s work , and this statement is already a well - known fact to you .\nthe plot against america\ntakes the witty bits from\nportnoy ' s complaint\n, and mixes it with the grim atmosphere of chaos that we encounter in\namerican pastoral\n. the style is again autobiographical , only in\nthe plot against america\nwe step into an alternate reality , in which charles lindberg , the aviator ( and nazi sympathiser ) is elected president of the united states instead of fdr ( voted to run ' sans ' primaries straight from the floor of republican party national assembly and sweeping the country subsequently in the 1940 elections ) . lindberg , who was philip roth ' s - the charecter - brother ' s secret hero , is sweeping the country into complete anti - jewish propaganda , which is quite similar to the general atmosphere the nazis have initiated in germany prior to the madness that was set loose in and after kristallnacht . the story is told from the viewpoint of the young jewish boy - philip roth - whose immature point of view as well as the focus on the little thing in life , makes it so genuine . the scary thing about this book is that roth doesn ' t exaggerate nor does he fantasizes an implausible scenario . you would not see american - jews sent to concentration camps , but an initiation of an american governmental program to assimilate jews in society , ran ( and hence given the\nkosher stamp\n) by lindberg ' s rabbi friend , general anti jews sentiment , public riots and so on and so on . you will read the plot against american while holding your breath , thinking this can very much happen tomorrow or the next day .\nan interesting and prophetic book . although written in 2004 about the period before the 2nd world war , it foresees an imaginary rise of fascism with charles lindbergh as president . . .\na close examination of childhood fears but it ' s long and boring and did it need to rewrite history ? philip roth gets less interesting the more you read of him .\nthe upshot of the book , or one of them , is that democracy is wasted on many americans . people must be bright , educated and informed for democracy to work , for how can you vote for . . .\neven a literary genius can have his off day , and this simplistic , counter - factual , historical potbioler is roth ' s . a real disappointment .\ni love this book , involving jewish second generation immigrants in newark . a rich culture , intense characterisation .\ninteresting take on fictionalised jewish situation in new jersey in world war 2 and what might have happened if the us supported hilter and it the allies .\nan interesting take on what would happen if there had been one small change in american history . i wonder if the resolution would have been the same with the current president .\nprime members enjoy fast & free shipping , unlimited streaming of movies and tv shows with prime video and many more exclusive benefits .\nafter viewing product detail pages , look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages you are interested in .\nafter years of waiting and peance of forest rangers wife , two very sweet twins -

( most of it to defend the lawsuits . )\nthe first thing to remember about the villain ' s lair , is that there are absolutely no tower guards . as such , you will not get shot , no matter how much heat you have on you . you can also chip walls at any time during the day without getting shot . start by buying a guard outfit first . each cell ( excluding your own ) has a camera inside it . dressing up as a guard or henchman will allow you to search another spy ' s desk without the camera getting suspicious . if you can knock out a henchman and take his outfit beforehand however , the guard outfit will be inferior . get a fake shoe from a desk if you can . it works like a contraband pouch , except it does not get confiscated if you get knocked out .\nonce you have acquired both of these items one way or another , it ' s time to move onto the next item - the keycard . this is located inside the henchman ' s quarters to the northeast of the lair . the door however , has a blue key lock . this means you must be a henchman . the guard outfit is not sufficient for this , even though henchmen will be fooled by it . as such , you need to acquire a henchman outfit by knocking out a henchman . ideally , try to find the fourth henchman on the roster , as he has the staff key . you ' ll be needing a copy of that next . if you ' re having trouble figuring out the fourth henchman , wait until evening rollcall , when the henchmen turn on their flashlights . and then go and find a henchman who has a flashlight , but is not at rollcall . there ' s a 50 % chance he has the staff key - the other 50 % is the work key . either way , once you ' ve identified him , wait for him to cross over into your cell block , and then make your move . you can make a flamethrower or cup of molten chocolate to instantly knock him out . you can also find a bomb surprise or garotting wire watch or sharp tea tray in another spy ' s desk , and they will all serve as instant knockout items , too . once he ' s down , take his henchman uniform . he may also have some memoir tapes on him . take those as well , as they are a necessary component for the voice recording . finally , take his staff key and make a copy of it , but remember to give the staff key back before he wakes up again .\nonce you have the fake fingerprint , the voice recording , and the keycard , you can escape at any time you wish . if you choose to do it at night time however , you will need to create a bed dummy for your bed , as well as use your henchman or guard outfit to avoid being sent to solitary . head to the rocket and use the three items . the left console requires the keycard , the middle console requires the voice recording , and the right console requires the fake fingerprint . once you ' ve put the last item into the consoles , the game will end .\nthis page was last edited on 3 october 2017 , at 19 : 17 .\ncontent is available under cc by -

based independent director john d . hancock , ' ' suspended animation ' ' is a sturdy , well - made piece that never quite overcomes its structural flaws .\ntom kempton ( alex mcarthur ) is a celebrated animator who winters in northern michigan , where a snowmobile accident leads him into the clutches of two weird sisters , vanessa and ann boulette . vanessa ( laura esterman ) is a willowy former dancer and ann ( sage allen ) an overweight homebody , and they have been operating their own girl - power version of the notorious wisconsin farmhouse of the 1950 ' s serial killer ed gein , butchering passers - by and creating knick - knacks and gourmet meals from their body parts .\nafter a slam - bang opening ' ' suspended animation , ' ' which opens today in new york , chicago and los angeles , goes into something of a coma itself with the tedious exposition necessary to get the plot convolutions across . it slowly develops that clara , who is unaware of her heritage , has a sinister 15 - year - old son ( fred meyers ) , who may have inherited his grandmother ' s homicidal tendencies . at least that is tom ' s suspicion when he comes across a mass of human tissue wrapped in aluminum foil and hidden in the boy ' s toolbox .\nthe situation is creepy , but the screenplay by dorothy tristan , mr . hancock ' s wife and frequent collaborator , has trouble transforming it into genuine suspense . the menace remains vague and unfocused until one major character makes a not entirely unexpected reappearance in the last act , by which point much of the tension has been lost .\nfrom the new york times . you may opt - out at any time .\nyou agree to receive occasional updates and special offers for the new york times ' s products and services .\nmr . hancock , however , remains a fine director of actors , and ms . esterman , a gifted stage actress making a rare film appearance , delivers an eerily ambiguous performance , part lovable eccentric and part hannibal lecter . though the film was shot on high - definition video , mr . hancock ' s framing has the steadiness and precision of classic 35 - millimeter filmmaking , and his editing , far from the pointless mtv pyrotechnics in the current remake of ' ' the texas chainsaw massacre , ' ' is all but invisible and much more effective for it .\ndirected by john d . hancock ; written by dorothy tristan ; director of photography , misha suslov ; edited by dennis o ' connor ; music by angelo badalamenti ; production designer , don jacobson ; produced by mr . hancock and robert j . hiler ; released by first run features . at the quad cinema , 34 west 13th street , greenwich village . running time : 114 minutes . this film is not rated .\nwith : alex mcarthur ( tom kempton ) , laura esterman ( vanessa boulette ) , sage allen ( ann boulette ) , rebecca harrell ( hilary kempton ) , maria cina ( clara hansen ) and fred meyers ( sandor hansen ) .\nwe\u2019re interested in your feedback on this page . tell us what you think .\naccessibility concerns ? email us at accessibility @ urltoken . we would love to hear from you .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nyou will get a notification at the top of the site as soon as the current price equals or falls below your price . you can also optionally receive an email notification ( sent only once ) , this is specified in your\nwith our iphone -

deaf explosives enthusiast , arnie dogen the injury - prone roofer and aspiring country singer , winston rothschild , iii , the prissy sewage magnate , mike hammer the itinerant felon , dalton humphrey the avaricious storekeeper , hap shaughnessy the pathological liar , buzz sherwood the hippie pilot , and ed frid the hamster - phobic animal control officer . . . not a lot ever tends to get done , except by way of confusing the issue further .\nthe lodge members are often famous canadian actors such as graham greene ( edgar ) , gordon pinsent ( hap ) , colin mochrie ( in a small role as hotdog expert frank kepke ) and paul gross ( as naive yuppie kevin black ) .\ni ' m a man , but i can change , if i have to , i guess .\nanother popular segment is\nadventures with bill\n, featuring the title character ' s attempts ( or more accurately , spectacular failures ) to get a grip on the whole outdoorsman gig , in slapstick pantomime shown in black and white and narrated by red .\nthe possum lodge word game\nis a typically loose attempt at a password - esque game show , with red and harold trying to get a lodge member to say a certain word for a prize .\nculture is not unknown here at the lodge , either \u2014 it may be gravely wounded , but it sure isn ' t being ignored . red is often seen in short transitional vignettes playing guitar and singing ( accompanied by harold on spoons or homemade drum ) , or reciting poetry . occasionally he simply addresses his fellow middle - aged schlubs directly and rather poignantly , concluding with\nremember , i ' m pulling for ya , we ' re all in this together .\nthe show always ends with the sounds of the lodge meeting beginning , in the basement . red stays upstairs for a moment to deliver a quasi - aesop and a message to his wife , bernice .\noften the opening of the lodge meeting will run behind the closing credits , with the studio audience as the lodge members .\nand to the rest of you , thanks for watching . on behalf of myself and harold and the whole gang up here at possum lodge , keep your stick on the ice .\nthe entire series can be watched for free on the show ' s official youtube channel .\naccidental aiming skills : in the black - and - white segment of\nguinness world records\n, red and dalton are attempting to destroy a lamp by putting rocks and balls in slingshots , and thwarting mike ' s attempts to just whack it with a board . after they build a supersized slingshot that accidentally launches mike into a tree ( instead of the bowling ball they intended to launch ) , mike gets angry , picks up the board , and throws it . . . straight into the lamp .\naffectionate parody : both poking fun at , and celebrating , the foibles of middle - aged men .\nthe red green book , authored by the show ' s creators and published in 1995 , contains lots of interesting trivia about the lodge . for instance , lodge membership is open to all genders , all races , religions and sexual orientations . to get in , you just need to have access to tools , trucks , building materials , explosives , medical supplies , legal services or cash .\nthe names of some of the segments were revealed in the book too . the segment where two lodge members give the viewers advice on how to get out of a jam with their wives is called buddy system , while the segment where red gives a monologue to his fellow middle - aged men while sitting at a desk winding a fishing lure is called north of 40 .\nmotor vehicle used , seen or mentioned in the series . including buzz ' s seaplanes .\none of the articles in red green talks cars : a love story told readers what their car indicated about them . anyone who drives an\nold car that barely runs\nis a lodge member . more specific examples include stinky peterson ' s trabant , moose thompson ' s gremlin , douglas hendrychuk ' s nash , harold ' s pinto and red ' s possum van .\nalmost famous name : harold tells red that he ' s been asked to be in a magazine ad for dodge . red excitedly agrees when he hears that not only will he be depicted in a hot tub surrounded by bikini - clad girls , but he gets the product for free ! he ' s a bit disappointed when it turns out he ' s just going to get his picture taken in front of a green screen and have it edited in later , but he ' s still excited to get a free dodge truck . at the end of the episode harold clarifies that the company is a swedish company named\ndoj\n. . . that makes adult diapers . . . and there are dozens of crates full of them outside .\namusing injuries : present all over the place , no one is safe from this . adventures with bill turns it up to eleven .\nand knowing is half the battle : parodied in ranger gord ' s educational cartoons , in which a muscular version of gord gives humorously inaccurate advice regarding forest life ( e . g . , that stones are really eggs ) . often , the funny animal representations of red and harold would actually give correct information in response , but since these are gord ' s cartoons , his explanations inevitably turn out to be true anyway .\n1991 , 1993 seasons : a paint - by - numbers of the lodge quickly getting colored in .\n1994 - 1997 seasons : a flythrough of a cityscape , followed by a crash into the\nnew red green show\nlogo and a 180 - degree turn to reveal the lodge .\nanti role model : in more than one\nhandyman corner\n, red suggests one way to get the supplies you need is to steal them .\naren ' t you going to ravish me ? : non - sexual version . when the women of possum lake get together to chat , several lodge members spy on them with a microphone to find out what their wives are saying about them , expecting lots of complaints . they ' re very insulted when none of the women even mention their husbands at all .\nin one episode , red advises teenagers against doing crime , saying ,\njust say no to assault , break - and - enter , arson , murder , theft , drug trafficking , and . . . oh , yeah , real estate sales .\nred : yeah . uh , so i ' m\u0096 i ' m gonna add a special event to it . harold is gonna do a cannonball off the top of rock reef point , singing the national anthem , butt - naked , with his hair on fire . that okay with you , harold ?\nharold : oh , yeah . yeah , yeah , whatever . . . hey , wait a minute , i don ' t know the national anthem !\naside glance : red frequently looks at the camera in\nadventures with bill\n.\nin one episode , red , dalton , and mike hurt themselves . mike goes to a masseuse and feels better , and recommends red and dalton go as well , which they first refuse but change their minds once they find out she ' s attractive . it turns out she ' s a male undercover cop , and red and dalton are disgusted , but mike doesn ' t care and plans to keep going , since he was the only one going there specifically for treatment and not just to get touched by a pretty girl ( although you would think he ' d at least be concerned about the cop part ) .\naudience participation : in later seasons , the studio audience would provide the\nthree little words men find so hard to say\nin\nthe experts\nsketches .\nnew member night\nwould also have volunteers from the studio audience play the prospective new lodge member .\nauthor appeal : steve smith is apparently something of a car buff in real life . throughout the show there are hundreds of shout outs and take thats to various cars ( the chrysler k - car is a favorite target ) and at least half of all the handyman corner projects involved something to do with cars . a lot of gags also involve beer , something that smith even lampshades in his introduction to one of the episodes on the dvd collections .\nbait and switch : the prizes for the possum lodge word game are presented in this manner with whoever is hosting ( usually harold ) exciting the contestant with something that sounds desirable but only to reveal that the prize is ridiculously cheap . . . and occasionally used .\nbonnie kisses harold , hard , in the finale when the two are officially wed . also counts as a crowning moment of funny , since she does it before red can even tell harold ,\nyou may now kiss the bride .\n: possum lodge is full of these , by red ' s own admission . of course , when big eater is the norm , the guy\nred : moose would eat a garden shed if you put enough hot sauce on it .\n: red discovers that ranger gord has some pictures of bigfoot that are actually clear and in focus , proving bigfoot really exists . he excitedly tells gord that the two of them should sell the pictures to a major tv network and get rich . however , gord insists that since he is the professional forest ranger , he should do all the talking to maintain credibility . red promptly gives the pictures back , knowing that nothing could give them\nin one of gord ' s educational cartoons , he lectures on how to protect oneself against a sasquatch . because of its eponymous big feet , gord explains , the sasquatch usually attacks by kickboxing its opponent , so one should keep their arms in front of their face at all times .\nbasically everything that comes out of hap ' s mouth . it ' s not that hap is a bad liar in as much as his stories are so over the top that there ' s no way he could ' ve done all of it .\nsame for doc render in the second season . there ' s speculation from the other members whether or not doc is an actual doctor ; well - deserved speculation given that doc treats a bullet wound with several boxes of band - aids .\nblazing inferno hellfire sauce : red mixes up a batch for a lodge barbecue . it consisted mostly of ketchup and mustard , with some various hot peppers thrown in and some other ingredients , including the\nsecret ingredient\n, which was some blue goop in an unlabelled container ( harold gets it analyzed , it ' s jet fuel ) . to demonstrate how hot it is , dalton tastes a little bit on a toothpick and is clearly in serious pain . then harold tastes a big spoonful .\nblind without em : happens to bill once when he does boxing with harold . red removes bill ' s glasses for him , thinking that one shouldn ' t fight a guy with glasses , and sets them on top of a pail in a corner of the ring . he does not realize that bill does have a vision problem . he squints at the glasses on the pail , thinking it ' s harold and delivers an uppercut to it , only for it to fall down and hit him on the head , knocking him out and leading harold to be the winner by default .\n: harold says red ' s\nkeep your stick on the ice\nspeech in\nthe catfish project\nwhen red is in a traumatized daze .\nharold also says\nkeep your stick on the ice\n( and imitating red ' s gravelly voice in the process ) in the final episode .\nharold : oh , good , okay , yeah . ' cause usually you have a plan and you ' re an idiot , but this time . . .\nharold :\ndear experts , how are you ?\nranger gord : well actually , i ' m a little upset today , because i lost my favorite pair of sunglasses . ( gord is wearing said sunglasses on top of his head ) but y ' know , it ' s not the end of the world . no way . that doesn ' t happen until the year 2015 , in november , on a thursday , and it ' s after lunch . okay ? so you can ' t get too upset when you lose something . the thing is , you have to remember to replace the thing that you lost with something new , and the real tricky part is , you have to remember to replace the same thing with the same thing . in other words , you can ' t replace a pair of sunglasses by buying a waffle iron . okay ? there it is .

( in eesha koppikhar ' s own words )\nnow , murad and his partner , vilas ( manish wadhwa ) , flee the city with shabri . but rajdharbhau closes in on murad and vilas . murad is killed . shabri then swears revenge against rajdharbhau , the man who took away all she ever had . is she able to avenge the murders ? or does the arm of law on the one hand and the matka king\u2019s reach on the other prove to be too much for her ?\nplot : day in and day out as she powers on the grinding machine of her flour mill shabri senses time is running out for her . she wants to live her life her own way but is burdened with reponsbility of supporting her parents and younger brother . opportunity presents itself in the most unlikely way and shabri a common working woman from a mumbai slum ends up threatening the biggest corridors of power in the matka gambling underworld of the city .\nshabri\u2019s only hope murad discovers how incapable he is of helping her in dire need . his desperation lands them in further trouble as he ends up killing his immediate boss kisnya , the brother of the notorious matka don , rajdharbhau .\nin ramu ' s movie shabri , isha plays a woman who runs a crime racket from a mumbai chawl . in accordance with her character , isha sports a non - glamorized look in the film and even speaks foul language .\nshabri is the story a simple woman from a mumbai slum who ends up shaking the biggest corridors of power in the matka underworld . it\u2019s a story of survival , dignity , determination and human triumph in the face of impossible odds .\ni have been to shabri more than 3 times and it never fails to make us happy . the employees are very professional and humble and they follow the instructions . food is always filling and tasty and clean . the price is very affordable .\nisn\u2019t exactly an intricate underworld drama that traces the upsurge and downfall of its female protagonist . it is more of a basic revenge plot with an underworld backdrop . when his brother is unjustly killed in police custody , shabri ( esha koppikhar ) kills the cop and goes absconding . an underworld bookie murad ( raj arjun ) helps her go underground and in turn enrages his boss , the underworld head rajdhar bhau ( pradeep rawat ) . when rajdhar bhau kills murad , shabri swears to seek revenge .\nlalit marathe\u2019s first directorial venture shabri featuring isha koppikar is all set to release this weekend ( august 26 ) and the director has already planned a sequel to the film . penned by marathe himself , shabri has been in the making for almost five years and was stalled at the post - production stage . marathe used the time to not only write a sequel to the film , the script of which is almost complete , but to also author a book about the film\u2019s making titled a dog\u2019s friday .\nbut the major limitation of the narrative is that it spans a very short period in the life of shabri which ends with her induction into underworld . the only usp of this otherwise conventional underworld drama is the gender of its protagonist and it would have been more gratifying experience to see the functioning of the female form in a powerful position . but by the time shabri gains authority , the film has already reached its end credits . on that note , the film fails to tap its prime potential .\none day , the innocent bandya is rounded up along with other unruly boys of the neighbourhood by the dreaded police inspector khare ( datta sonawane ) . bandya succumbs to police torture . this infuriates shabri so much that she ends up violating the law . much as murad would like to help shabri , he realises that he is helpless . murad\u2019s desperation leads him to kill his immediate boss , kisnya ( niraj kumar ) , who is the brother of rajdharbhau ( pradeep rawat ) , the matka don of the city .\n\u200bhome of gold gch pioneer\nshabri - el ' s\nshaken bacon - - america ' s # 1 m astiff bitch all systems 2014\u200b\u200b and 2015 . 2016 mcoa bob in texas ! ! ! ! ! ! ! thank you judge holly scott ! ! !\nwhen a plot is overdone to the core and tried over and over again , the audience soon tends to lose interest . this is what happens to shabari . it would have been refreshing to see the female protagonist take over the world and show more authority and power . unfortunately , by the time shabri gains authority , the film has almost reached the end . the narrative could have been a little more in depth and covered a larger part of shabri\ns life , thus getting the audience to ' connect\nwith the character .\nthis fellow pumps a full round of bullets on a man he\u2019s been trying to get hold of for a while . his victim happens to be shabri\u2019s partner . she and this dead partner had together killed the said don\u2019s brother . the don , who\u2019s rightly mad , gets another gun out , starts shooting at the dead - body all over again . he still patiently leaves shabri , the partner in crime , alone to wail in the corner of his den . that\u2019s a pretty dumb don , if you ask me . the slum girl merrily leaves , wants to kill him off now . good for her .\nshabri lives an impoverished lifestyle along with her mother ; alcoholic father ; and younger brother , bandya . she is the sole earner in her family and embittered at the manner in which life has treated her . she not only chastises bandya for spending too much time on the street with a goon , murad , instead of focusing in his studies but also her father . things take a turn for the worst when bandya is arrested by inspector khare and tortured in the police station . when shabri goes to see him , khare attempts to molest her , but she manages to escape . the next day bandya is found dead allegedly on the grounds that he tried to escape from police custody . refusing to believe this ' version ' , shabri takes a knife and goes to confront khare . it is this confrontation that will result in khare ' s death with his own service revolver , resulting in a manhunt from vikhroli to bhendi bazar , and she will be compelled to seek murad ' s help to go in hiding . but things are only to worsen when a heavily pressured murad decides to enlist the assistance of kisnya bhau , the brother of gangster , rajdharbhau , resulting in more danger for not only shabri but also her parents .\nwith the release of shabri , one more film has been added to the list of movies made on the underworld . films like satya ( 1998 ) and vaastav ( 1999 ) did well at the time as it had a realistic feel to it . sarkar , starring amitabh bachchan and abhishek bachchan also did average business at the box office .\nshabri lives an impoverished lifestyle along with her mother ; alcoholic father ; and younger brother ,

shabri . however , clearing the air , marathe says , \u201cthere was never an issue between rgv and me . he read my script and really liked it and encouraged me to direct the film . he showed immense faith in me and never interfered with my work . he supported me in every possible way . it was like i got everything on a platter . \u201d\neesha koppikar delivers a very good performance in the title role . she plays the avenging angel very efficiently . raj arjun is good . manish wadhwa also does well . pradeep rawat is effective . zakir hussain is brilliant as inspector qazi . he is delightful to watch . sanjay kulkarni ( as inspector kadam ) and datta sonawane ( as inspector khare ) lend good support . niraj kumar , kishore nandlaskar ( as shabri\u2019s father ) , vimal mhatre ( as

not - so - great\nroles to boast about surprises you with her ability to emote . though eesha did not have too many dialogues to deliver , she did excellently well through her expressions and body language . raj arjun and pradeep rawat have both shown that they can act well . zakir hussain gets repetitive in his erratic act . over all\nshabri the restaurant is a life style restaurant operated by the educators passionate about healthy dinning and motivated by happy dinning experiences . our wide range of food varieties , swiss delicacies and freshly baked items are already renowned in the

is an inspiring example from the treasure house of hindu mythology bearing testimony to the efficacy of true devotion and divine grace . the character of shabari is an epitome of patience , perseverance , devotion , purity and spirit of service . though the meeting between rama and shabari lasted only for a few minutes , it contained a decisive moment when all her penance and devotion were duly rewarded by rama .\nshabari was born in a hunter\u2019s family . though she belonged to a clan that was fully given away to killing animals through cruel ways , by birth shabari was averse to killing and causing harm to animals on any grounds including for fun or for food . differing from the ways of the family , she resisted non vegetarian food . it was a usual practice in the family of hunters to sacrifice animals during weddings . unable to bear the harm that would befall animals , she ran away from the family just before her forced marriage .\nshabari was wandering in the forest and being hungry , she approached the hermitage of sage mathanga asking for food . at the first sight of this humble lady , sage mathanga realized that she was a great soul . therefore , he invited her to stay in the ashram engaging herself in the service of the community there . shabari was more than pleased to take up the tasks of cleaning and housekeeping at the ashram . she was greatly devoted to sage mathanga and was rendering a selfless service to him with a great sense of devotion and dedication .\nby nature , forests are rugged in their surface . it is quite natural to find stones , pebbles , twigs , dry leaves and thorns all around . every day , the sage used a particular route to reach the river nearby to complete his morning ablutions . shabari deemed maintaining this route in a perfect way free of thorns and pebbles as her top priority . in order to see that the road is free of thorns , she used to lie down and roll on the way so that the thorns prick on her body and are removed so that the sage\u2019s feet are not hurt .\nafter years of staying in the ashram , the final moments of the sage appeared . when sage mathanga disclosed this to shabari , she pleaded that she too would have the privilege of merging in him before he left the world . but the sage said she was a lucky one and her good deeds and penance over the years had earned her a great fortune of having the darshan of sri rama when he would be on his way years later in search of mother sita . the sage asked her to wait for those blessed moments .\nrama and lakshmana were passing by the route in search of mother sita . rama had known the divine task awaiting him in the ashram of sage matanga and therefore they both entered the hermitage . all over the years , shabari was waiting for rama as instructed by sage mathanga . shabari had gathered the wild fruits for rama which she offered him with great devotion . in order to source the best ones , she would bite them and check before offering them to the lord . her innocent devotion pleased the lord who granted her liberation before leaving the place .\nwe noticed that you ' re using an unsupported browser . the tripadvisor

director lalit marathe gets the grammar of the genre as much correct as his mentor\u2019s better works . everything from the pallid colour tone to the caustic editing patterns reminds of rgv of yore . the camera movements and sound effects were more poised and persuasive then .\nalso marathe\u2019s direction is more subtle and suggestive as he conveys more through the scene per se than using literal dialogue . like rgv\u2019s common cold -

qnoeh ( no exception handling ) on some platforms to get a bit of additional performance . these days the compilers do much better at not degrading performance when exception handling is allowed and not used , but since our performance folks will sell their kids for a 1 % improvement , we\u2019ve kept using flags like this and the associated restriction . components that must ( or want ) to use exception handling must \u201cfirewall\u201d any exceptions , not letting them get thrown to external code ( and also explicitly enable exceptions for their code ) .\nwe had a note in the coding standards not to use rtti ( run time type identification ) , because exceptions are required . that was a confusing and incomplete statement to include in our standards . it was interpreted by one developer as meaning that none of :\nwere allowed . however , only the dynamic _ cast is a rtti operation , and only the dynamic _ cast will throw an exception when the cast doesn\u2019t match the underlying type .\ni\u2019ve now fixed up our coding standards . it now references dynamic _ cast instead of rtti .\nthe db2 code is still very c\u2019ish , compiled with a c + + compiler . i\u2019d say the bulk of the casts in our code are old style c casts , and that most of our developers ( including myself ) don\u2019t even know when to use the \u201cnew\u201d cast operations . here\u2019s some thoughts on these :\ni\u2019ve seen a fair amount of const _ cast use in our code , and i know personally how this can be very useful . an example :\nvolatile int x ; void foo ( int * y ) ; foo ( const _ cast < short * > ( & x ) ) ; / / compilation error foo ( const _ cast < int * > ( & x ) ) ; / / allowed . just strips the volatile ( or const ) off the pointer type .\na second nice use of const _ cast < > ( ) is to enforce type checking in macros . if the macro parameter is supposed to be a pointer to type t , you can enforce that by using a const _ cast < t * > . this assumes that you don\u2019t actually care about the const - ness of the pointer , and will force a compile error if the macro is used with any other type .\nin general i don\u2019t think it\u2019s a bad idea to use the new cast operators , since they represent a hierarchy of weaker than c style casts . you can also search for cast operations by name in a given file if they are used , which is much harder to do with a c style cast .\ni\u2019m not sure how much use of static _ cast < > and reinterpret _ cast < > we have in the code .\ndeclaring my own stupidity , without looking them up , i didn\u2019t personally know how to use the \u201cnew style\u201d static _ cast and reinterpret _ cast operations correctly . i use a c cast by habit unless i\u2019m trying to strip const or volatile attributes ( or enforce a type in a macro ) .\nif db2 coders start using these , it will likely confuse old guys like me for a while , but i figure i can learn about these .\nif that doesn\u2019t work or is not allowed you can use : a c style cast .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\n* setting channel preference will take you directly to the respective channel when you come in next time .\nsupported browsers : internet explorer : version 7 . 0 and above , chrome , firefox and safari . best viewed at 1024 x 768 resolution and above .\nthis browser doesn ' t support spotify web player . switch browsers or download spotify for your desktop .\nlisten to all your favourite artists on any device for free or try the premium trial .\nsorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .\nsubscribe to google play music and listen to this album and millions of other songs . first month free .\nthe film has been directed by azhagamperumal and has in the cast srikanth , meera jasmine , murali and vivek . vidya sagar brings edgy and upfront songs for the film .\nour website is made possible by displaying online advertisements to our visitors . please consider supporting us by disabling your ad blocker . close [ 5 ]"]}

as he sees it , ( by his bandmates & mcclaren ) he never overcomes , but sid is delusioned that he can make it on his own and still be a junkie . nancy perputates this idea . we watch them fall into a downward spiral of drugs , alcohol , and violence ( both physical & verbal ) . eventually , nancy wants sid to make good on their suicide pact . on oct . 12 , 1978 nancy was found dead in room 100 at the chelsea hotel in nyc . no one really knows what happened that night , sid was too strung out to remember . most scholars believe that they became physically violent with one another ( as they often did ) and somehow she was stabbed in the abdomen and bled to death . sid was charged with her murder , and did time on riker ' s island . while he was out on bail , he overdosed on herion febeuary 2 , 1979 . his only request was to be buried with nancy .\nbut vicious was later to retract his confession , claiming he could not recall anything about the night nancy -

director alex cox\u2019s follow - up to repo man , a project that had taken its cues ( and certainly its soundtrack ) from the los angeles punk scene . in sid and nancy , which was originally titled love kills , cox and co - writer abbe wool wanted to explore the drug - infused relationship between sid vicious , bassist for the sex pistols , and nancy spungen , a groupie who fell for sid . the film would portray the dysfunctional affair that would result in the death of both lovers .\nthe official soundtrack contains no songs sung by either the sex pistols or sid vicious .\nsid vicious , the sex pistols bassist who was arrested for the murder of his girlfriend nancy spungen , but who died in 1979 from a heroin overdose before the case came to court . gary oldman stars in the lead role . sid & nancy has been restored for its 30th anniversary and will be released in cinemas on 5 august , and dvd , blu -

a self - portrait in the guise of sid and a high point of the sensation show at the royal academy in 1997 .\nthe new vinyl edition of sid & nancy ( music from the motion picture soundtrack ) has been remastered from the original analogues and is pressed on 180g vinyl , faithfully reproducing the 1986 release . you can purchase it here .\nis also a surprisingly touching love story , and gary oldman is outstanding as the late punk rock icon sid vicious .\nwhat the film didn\u2019t generate , however , was very much money . sid and nancy failed to make back its $ 4 million budget during its theatrical release . yet , the movie has done better as a cult favorite on video and dvd and is a fixture on magazine lists of great biopics and rock and roll films .\na lacerating love story , sid & nancy chronicles the brief , intense attachment of two of punk ' s most notorious poster children , sex pistols bassist sid vicious and his girlfriend , nancy spungen . director alex cox balances a bleak evocation of star - crossed love with surreal humor and genuine tenderness , creating a compelling portrait of the late ' 70s punk scene . with brilliant performances by gary oldman and chloe webb , the film ' s haunting imagery and black comedy resonate long after the final frames .\nthe director films the relation involving sid vicious , the sex pistol ' s bass player , and his girl -

shirt and poster printers since his early death . the reality of his involvement in the pistols ( as documented in julien temple ' s outstanding documentary the filth and the fury ) is much more complex and sad . oldman gets at this inner sadness without the benefit of temple ' s film or two decades of hindsight . his sid is a creation of pure actor ' s instinct and he completely disappears into the character .\nsex pistols frontman john lydon has said he feels partly responsible for bandmate sid vicious\u2019 heroin overdose .\nafter oldman turned it down . both oldman and day - lewis were in the running to play sid vicious in alex cox\u2019s\nhe was sid vicious , bass guitarist with the notorious sex pistols . she was nancy spungen , a young american groupie . bound by sex , drugs and rock ' n ' roll they became inseparable . . . until that fateful night in 1978 . the cops are summoned to room 100 of new york ' s chelsea hotel , to find nancy lying dead in a pool of blood . sid is arrested , taken away and charged with stabbing his lover to death .\nin an extensive new interview with the daily record , lydon said of the incident : \u201c nancy spungen was a hideous , awful person who killed herself because of the lifestyle and led to the destruction and subsequent death of sid and the whole fiasco . i tried to help sid through all of that and feel a certain responsibility because i brought him into the pistols thinking he could handle the pressure . he couldn\u2019t . the reason people take heroin is because they can\u2019t handle pressure . poor old sid . \u201d\neven if\nsid and nancy\ndoesn ' t quite represent the imperfect perfection in which punk music so often traffics , alex cox ' s confident visual symbolism -

crossed lovers in sid and nancy had worse problems than those teens from verona . repo man director alex cox ' s film told the harrowing ( yet weirdly romantic ) true story of sex pistols bass player sid vicious , his groupie - turned - girlfriend nancy spungen , and their descent into heroin - flavored destruction . despite good reviews and excellent performances by newcomers gary oldman and chloe webb , the 1986 biopic did poorly in theaters and gained its cult following later\u2014the same way a lot of punk bands did , fittingly .\nsid vicious was not stupid , but he did not have any emotional resources with which to deal with fame . as wobble says :\njohn lydon kept a link with his past , and that saved him , but sid had no past .\nsid was a lost boy who , like peter pan , never grew beyond childhood , and his spectacular demise was both exploited and unmourned .\nalex cox ' s biopic of sex pistols bassist sid vicious , chronicling his ill -

crossed love affair between iconic sex pistols bassist sid vicious and his american girlfriend nancy spungen . this culminated in spungen\u2019s murder at new york\u2019s chelsea hotel on 12 october 1978 . though arraigned for her murder , vicious never stood trial as he died of a drug overdose while out in bail in february 1979 .\njohn lydon famously despises cox\u2019s film for inaccuracies both of the period and about his friend , but sid is viewed with a warmth and affection by the camera , which underlies the fact that most people seem to forget now ; sid was so incredibly young when he died .\nbut this was also the moment when punk truly became pop . during 1978 , mclaren kept the pistols going without lydon . as sid dissolved further into a hail of drugs , he had a top 10 record in july with his radical cover of my way . as the single slipped down the charts , sid and nancy moved to new york , never to return .\nbut her pain has depth and shading . in her most powerful scene , nancy makes a late - night long - distance telephone - box call to her mother in america , claiming that she and sid have just got hitched . in fact , she just needs enough cash to score smack .\nwatching sid on drums that night playing with siouxsie and the banshees doing a rendition of the lord\u2019s prayer was shocking , brilliant and terrible . the atmosphere was beyond anything i had experienced back in rural scotland . sid was tall , thin and gangly , and remarkably good - looking in a spotty kid kind of way . around the bar area he was noisy and aggressive and definitely the centre of attention , playing the tough guy , and in our innocence he seemed quite terrifying . a scene in sid and nancy captures that very evening when he brutally assaults music journalist nick kent , a soft hippy - like writer who was an easy target . not the act of a tough guy .\npact is a long - time member of sid - w because of the value it brings to our staff and organization as a whole . from high - quality events to the unparalleled access that sid - w membership provides to decision - makers at the highest levels of the u . s . government , membership in sid - w is invaluable .\nnancy\u2019s gradual collapse before our eyes , as she realises that her mother isn\u2019t falling for it , is perfectly calibrated : bogus matrimonial bliss warps into little - princess pleading and finally scalding , volcanic rage . the scene ends with nancy on her knees in the road . it\u2019s dynamite .\nadmitted to one of the following heller degree programs : mpp master of public policy , mba in nonprofit management , mba / mpp dual degree , ma in sustainable international development ( sid ) , mba / sid dual degree , ma in conflict resolution and coexistence ( coex ) , mba / coex dual degree , sid / coex dual degree , ms in global health policy and management ( ghpm ) , mba / ghpm dual degree , and sid / ghpm dual degree . the application fee will be waived for all posse alumni .\nsometimes a film can be completely rewarding in some respects and totally wrong in others . alex cox ' s sid and nancy ( 1986 , originally released on dvd by criterion , this review is of the new mgm release ) is terrific as a bizarre love story between the late sex pistols ' bassist sid vicious and junkie / groupie nancy spungen . the two lovers connect on a sadomasochistic level that is unusual and , in the film at least , leaves you with the feeling that they could have been the only people on the planet , a perfect match that could only have destroyed itself .\nwith the lacerating love story sid & nancy , alex cox reimagines the crash - and - burn affair between punk\u2019s most notorious self - destructive poster children : sex pistols bassist sid vicious and his girlfriend , nancy spungen\u2014brought to visceral life by brilliant performances from gary oldman and chloe webb . cox turns his anarchic filmmaking style on the explosive energy of the london punk scene and the degenerate streets of seventies new york , making for an eviscerating depiction of excess and addiction . through the lens of cinematographer roger deakins , the imagery goes from swooning to grimy , and the film\u2019s bleakness is balanced with surreal humor and genuine tenderness , making for an affecting , music - fueled vision of doomed love .\nit\u2019s been 30 years since british filmmaker alex cox unleashed his transatlantic punk love story sid and nancy ( 1986 ) , a bruising journey to the heart of the self - destructive relationship between the sex pistols\u2019 sid vicious ( a young gary oldman ) and nancy spungen ( chloe webb ) . the first half of the film frames the meeting of the lovers in london . clad in leather , arms scarred by needles , the conspicuous couple leave a trail of mayhem in their wake as they hop from soho to bayswater , from bayswater to bermondsey .\nchloe webb also received praise for her work as nancy . although courtney love lobbied incredibly hard for the part , she had to settle for a minor role as gretchen . love wasn\u2019t the only musician involved in sid and nancy . the circle jerks , iggy pop and nico all appear in the film , the members of guns n\u2019 roses were hired as extras for some of the los angeles scenes , and former clash frontman joe strummer contributed much of the soundtrack .\n, kowalski\u2019s documentary on the sex pistols\u2019 american tour . \u201cthey were incredibly pathetic and i felt like i was taking advantage of them just by being there , \u201d kowalski is quoted as saying . listening to nancy berate a nodding - off sid in her new york whine you realize just how inseparably dysfunctional the two really were . she yells at him to try to stay awake for the interview , to stop dropping lit cigarettes on her , and she also notes that he\u2019s constantly spilling coffee and orange juice on her\u2014sid is always the helpless , careless kid who wouldn\u2019t be able to function without nancy ( she actually claims sid would have died around fifteen deaths already if not for her ! ) .\nthings don\u2019t go well at that first meeting when groupie nancy ( played by chloe webb , equal to oldman in chameleon ability ) announces she has \u201call\u201d of the sex pistols albums back in new york before calling sid by johnny\u2019s name . it\u2019s only later when they end up two bodies on the sardine - packed floor of a flat that the dysfunctional relationship begins . nancy literally wedges herself between sid and johnny , marking a turning point in the boys\u2019 friendship . a girl has come between them . it\u2019s time to grow up .\nafter his death , the punk rocker ' s mother requested he be laid to rest in the same plot where nancy was buried , but her parents refused . the following week , anne flew with her son ' s ashes to the philadelphia cemetery and secretly sprinkled them over nancy ' s gravestone .\nsid and nancy premiered in the directors ' fortnight section of the 1986 cannes film festival , in a lavish , packed auditorium . according to cox , some or all members of duran duran were in the audience , and when gary oldman first appeared on the screen , one of them yelled ,\njohnny thunders !\n( referring to another punk musician who ' d been with the new york dolls ) . the clash ' s joe strummer , who ' d consulted on sid and nancy , stood and yelled ,\nshut the f * * * up !\nduly chastened by their elders , duran duran shut up .\nan amazing ride through the short life of the sex pistols and sid vicious featuring gary oldman in one of the best performances i ' ve seen .\ndirecting select film edge city repo man sid & nancy straight to hell walker el patrullero the winner death & the compass three businessmen kurosawa : le emmanuelle : ahl mike hama must die ! revengers tragedy ijd -

floor room in the early hours say vicious was out for the count . and at least two say the previously unknown michael , who lived on the sixth floor of the hotel , was with sid and nancy as late as 5am - around the time she was stabbed .\nwith a history as an actress , and the wife of an actor - turned - politician , nancy was known for her glamorous lifestyle and her fashion \u2014 she was also known for her hollywood friends , including rock hudson and elizabeth taylor .\nsid lezak was a lawyer , activist , mediator , mentor and inspiration to all who knew him . the lezak legacy fellows program reflects his legacy : his life , career , humanity and commitment to social justice , public service and the community he loved . please join us in keeping sid\u2019s legacy alive by attending a wine and cheese reception to celebrate the lezak legacy fellows program .\nit\u2019s a more inspired week , happily , for reissues , beginning with the 30th - anniversary re - release of alex cox\u2019s white - hot , needles - under - the - nails punk elegy sid and nancy ( studiocanal , 18 ) , in which gary oldman \u2019s feral , furious role as doomed sex pistols bassist sid vicious remains an extraordinary spectacle : a frightening , untamed beast of a performance and the rarely reached benchmark for all rock biopic impersonations since .\nbecause cox creates his own living , breathing world we\u2019re not so concerned with historical accuracy , with \u201cthe facts . \u201d so what if the guy playing johnny rotten doesn\u2019t look much like the real john lydon ? his constant correcting of sid\u2019s singing , \u201cwe don\u2019t fucking care ! \u201d with \u201cno \u2019fucking\u2019\u2014just \u2019we don\u2019t care\u2019 ! \u201d tells us more about the character than the right shade of rotten red . the shot of sid and nancy sleeping , their heads of jet black and bottle blonde cuddled together like furry animals , and the scene in which nancy , dressed in fetish gear , answers linda\u2019s phone and falls to her knees when she hears sid\u2019s voice calling from america , visualize their love better than any \u201ctrue events\u201d ever could . \u201cyou\u2019re just gonna have to have sex with somebody else ! \u201d an irritated nancy finally exclaims , hanging up as linda calls for her\u2014this is followed by a quick cut to a long shot of sid at a phone booth , shit - kicker cowboys in the foreground . their relationship goes from being so near to so desperately far away .\nthe astonishing thing about\nsid and nancy\nis the amount of subtle information it gives us about their relationship , given the fact that the surface of the movie is all tumult and violence , pain and confusion . this movie doesn ' t take the easy way out and cast these two lovers as romeo and juliet , misunderstood waifs . it sees beneath their leather and chains , their torn t - shirts and steel - toed boots , to a basically conventional relationship between an ambitious woman and a man who was still a boy .\nyou were keen to romanticize sid & nancy without glorifying them but now feel you failed in that endeavor . can you explain how the film , in your mind , fails to do so ? it may be an inevitable part of all drama , that in depicting something you make it to some extent heroic or glorious . or it could be that the ending of sid & nancy , with the\ntaxi to heaven\nwhich seems very sentimental now , contradicts the message of the film ( spoken by the guy in the methadone clinic ) .\nvideo : mgm ' s current release of sid and nancy replaces the criterion version ' s non - anamorphic transfer . the new disc has a crisper picture , more vibrant colors , and , of course , an anamorphic transfer . really the improved picture is the only improvement over the previous disc , which looks good for an earlier release .\n, what makes the film a universal tale . cox wastes no time\u2014even when sid accidentally walks through a plate - glass door and goes down in slo - mo , we don\u2019t hear glass and people shrieking but disembodied voices arguing . the next scene reveals it\u2019s the beginning of the end , the loud break - up of the band around a comatose sid\u2019s hospital bed . by the time we see sid sitting up , raptly watching a monster movie as a christmas - decorated shopping cart rolls into the room , we know nancy is going to be standing in that doorway . sappy and sentimental ? sure . isn\u2019t that what love is ?\nin one scene , sid vicious carves letters into his chest with a razor blade , accompanied by blood flowing from the wounds .\nthe movie really comes alive in the new york scenes in the claustrophobic melancholy of the chelsea hotel room where sid and nancy had become unwelcome residents . director cox handles these scenes with a gentleness that captures the punk romeo and juliet\u2019s sense of isolation and hopelessness . it builds into a frenzy where it becomes increasingly obvious something very bad is about to happen . at this moment in his career sid thought that he was a star who had arrived , but he was fleeing , and people who are fleeing have no idea where they are going .\njust days before nancy ' s death , he had received $ 25 , 000 in cash - royalty payments from richard branson ' s virgin records .\nalex cox\u2019s movie focuses on the ill - fated romance between sid and new york groupie nancy spungen . the star - crossed lovers soon shared an insatiable desire for booze , then drugs , starting with sulphate and leading to what they called the \u201cbig h\u201d \u2013 heroin . their new - found rock \u2018n\u2019 roll utopia speedily led to a life of chaos , violence and self - destruction .\nall throughout high school , my friends and i would skip school and watch this movie . sure it ' s depressing , but it ' s also one of the coolest movies ever made . sid & nancy also introduced us to gary oldman , who sang all the songs in the movie and now has gone onto bigger things ( whether that ' s good i don ' t know ) . the extra features on this dvd are really exciting . phone interviews with sid vicious , a great video interview with the real sid & nancy , the infamous bill grundy interview , a making of documantary , and commentary by all the stars of the film . i must have seen this every day going to high school on videotape , now that that tape is all worn out , i have the dvd to see it 100 more times !\nthe discovery of the letter led some friends to speculate that nancy ' s death had been a suicide pact that had gone wrong , and spungen had administered the fatal knife wound herself .\nthis is also a hallmark of the film\u2019s director . both the guy dispensing the drugs at the methadone clinic who suddenly starts ranting about how the government uses heroin as a form of control or the creepy bellhop who begs for money after sid and nancy are moved to a new room could easily have slipped in from cox\u2019s\nbut he wasn ' t called sid sweet . vicious was a strong name to be saddled with . the script was set and , like many scripts , it took over the actor to the point where person and persona became fatally blurred .\nbe careful what you set yourself up for\nshould be one pop culture motto , and sid was more vulnerable than most .\nthe heller school is pleased to offer guaranteed partial - tuition scholarships of at least 50 % to brandeis alumni admitted to one of the following heller degree programs : master of public policy ( mpp ) , mba in nonprofit management , mba / mpp dual degree , ma in sustainable international development ( sid ) , mba / sid dual degree , ma in conflict resolution and coexistence ( coex ) , mba / coex dual degree , sid / coex dual degree , ms in global health policy and management ( ghpm ) , mba / ghpm dual degree , and sid / ghpm dual degree . the application fee will be waived for all brandeis alumni .\nsid vicious ( oldman ) , born the working clas brit john simon ritchie , becomes bass player for the suddenly world - famous sex pistols punk band in the late 1970s . fame , money , and drugs swirl about him as he clings to any american girl named nancy spungen ( webb ) . the pistols disintegrate after their u . s . tour , sid tries to sustain a solo career , but heroin addiction drags him and nancy down . one morning he awakes to find her stabbed to death and himself charged with her murder . co - writer and director alex cox made this almost too - real 1986 story after his highly quirky\nrepo man .\noldman and webb are amazingly good . watch for courtney love in a bit role as gretchen .\nthe 21 - year - old musician and would - be actress called co - writer abbe wool and claimed ,\ni am nancy spungen !\n( she only meant she was perfect for the part . ) wool had love submit an audition tape , but cox wanted an actress with more experience . still , he liked love enough to write a small role for her as one of nancy ' s junkie friends , and subsequently cast her in his film straight to hell ( 1987 ) . years later , love would be compared ( unflatteringly ) to nancy spungen for her supposed similar influence on kurt cobain and nirvana .\nwhacked out on any drug he can get into his edward scissorhands body , sid could be making a comment on his quick , young life . the bleak , almost apocalyptic , chelsea hotel he disintegrates into with nancy is a far cry from the bright spray - can colours of silver jubilee london .\nint : must have been moved to tears by drew schofiled ' s heartfelt portrayal of you in sid ' n nance , then . .\nthree of the four johns were transformed by pseudonyms that , beginning in teenage jokes , became international news . lydon became johnny rotten , thanks to sex pistols ' guitarist steve jones ; beverley became sid vicious , thanks to lydon , wardle became jah wobble , thanks to sid ."]}

depicted ) . push haphazardly sets up \u201crules\u201d for its universe at the beginning of the film , then proceeds to break them left and right in the final 30 minutes . certain questions are never answered : do pushers push memories and motivations onto people , or can they simply control minds ? do watchers see potential futures or can they also see the present ( because that\u2019s actually a pretty big difference ) ? how much damage can a bleeder inflict with his scream exactly ? why are some watchers so much more accurate than others ?\nwhat a dreadful film , there is no storyline too it , they seem to just plod along , got bored within ten minutes . do not bother waste of money .\n\u201cmoonlight\u201d stars trevante rhodes , naomie harris and mahershala ali . in its limited release opening weekend , the film exceeded expectations , earning $ 445 , 552 in four theaters .\nand kevin o\u2019neill , the film has an intriguing premise ( thanks to moore ) \u2014what if the characters of victorian literature\u2019s most fantastical works were real people ? add an early example of a big studio\u2019s embrace of the steampunk aesthetic , and stephen norrington\u2019s film certainly has potential , but it wastes little time slipping into an increasingly incomprehensible plot . by the film\u2019s end , fans of the series got to leave the theater knowing they have just seen a bad film that pretty much guaranteed a good version of the material would not be seen any time soon . it would also be sean connery\u2019s final role before retiring from acting . it feels like that should be held against the movie , too .\ni admit it , i love the film push . i think it would have been stronger with a different female lead than camilla belle and removal of the romantic plot line , but the rest of the casting was fantastic . i mean dakota fanning as a punkish drunk brat , chris evans doing his super hero thing before being cap , and djimon hounsou being a bad ass head of a shady organization - it was all a great set up .\non its opening weekend , the film opened # 6 grossing $ 10 , 079 , 109 in 2 , 313 theaters with a $ 4 , 358 average .

[ 6 ]\nis an interesting , exciting , but also thought - provoking film that definitely stands out as one of last year ' s underrated titles . it ' s not perfect , as a little more attention to hounsou ' s character would have made the film much better , but what little is wrong with it doesn ' t detract from what ' s enjoyable . if you ' re looking for a superhero - type film with enough action to get by but not the cliched caricatures from fifty years ago , give this a shot .\nwell , another celebration of the film culminating in the industry ' s biggest show , the 83 ' rd academy awards , has come to an end . fo . . .\nnow warner bros . , the studio behind the film , wants the action movie to break another glass ceiling . although executives haven\u2019t commented publicly on their plans , they have internally discussed launching a formidable awards -

men\u2019 movies , but the franchise had stalled with the messy \u2018last stand\u2019 . as a way of pumping some adrenaline back into their property , the makers decided to focus on their star attraction , and released \u2018wolverine : origins\u2019 . now we all know how that worked out , but at the time , the majority of media focus was on that movie .\nabslutely inept rubbish from the csi school of film - making . not even worth the 1p i paid for the dvd . i even fast - forwarded some scenes with camilla belle .\ni got lost in this film , there ' s no doubt that it was clever but i think all the multiple types of powers that everyone had made things a little confusing .\nif you do watch -

dump is symptomatic of push ' s diffuse focus : mcguigan seems to want to merge arthouse fare with breathless action movies like jumper and the night watch series . the subject matter is propulsive adolescent fun all the way , with a pop sensibility , some nifty costume and set design , and a lot of special - effects - powered showdowns\u2014but the execution reaches for a broader audience , one so unfamiliar with the genre tropes that it needs the assiduous extra explanation , plus time to ponder each new development . the resultant moderate pacing has its appeal ; it turns push into an ambling , broody concoction along the lines of strange days . at times , a more aggressive editor would help immensely . at others , push explores its brutish future hong kong with a patience and sense of milieu that seems cribbed more from wong kar - wai than doug liman .\nit is unfortunately also the perfect example of a film that would have worked better as a tv - show . in every respect this feels like a pilot , clunkily exposing as many ideas as possible to sell it . had it focussed more on characters and plot instead of showing a universe with superpowers from all possible angles , it would have been a better film .\nalice in murderland had an awesome gimmick : a slasher movie based on alices adventures in wonderland , with the jabberwocky as the killer . unfortunately , that ' s all it has to offer . the film , despite supposedly taking place in a fancy house , was very clearly filmed in a cheap warehouse . most of the film isn ' t even focused on the killings , but instead the dynamics of a bunch of unlikable sorority sisters . add in a nonsensical in the blood angle , and the film earns its dismal 1 . 9 im db rating .\nchronicle was pretty well received , with 85 % on rotten tomatoes . i think that ' s a plus . it ' s still my favourite found footage film along with project x .\ndaniels paused . it was late september , we were back at the staghorn and he had just returned from the toronto film festival , where \u201cprecious\u201d won the audience prize , traditionally an indicator of awards and box - office glory ( last year , the winner was \u201cslumdog millionaire\u201d ) . in a week , \u201cprecious\u201d would be the centerpiece selection at the new york film festival .\nlike watching fireworks explode , plus hunks and girls with cool clothes . there ' s a far - off alternate universe in which fun , artistic people with a sense of humor were allowed to go wild on superhero movies and ya novel adaptations - push accidentally slipped through their stargate and landed on earth\ni think i realize now why i didn ' t love shaun of the dead when i first saw it . when the zombie - comedy film , co - starring english comedia . . .\ncurse of pirate death takes an already - silly title and slaps it on a dreadful movie . the film ' s a slasher starring an undead pirate , whom the film decides to paint as intimidating by calling him\npirate death ,\nas opposed to literally anything creative . the acting from most of the cast is so wooden that it makes former porn star ron jeremy ' s look shakespearean in comparison . the plot itself is a disjointed mess with no interesting characters and an overuse of flashbacks . all in all , the film deserves its 2 . 6 imdb rating .\nand given the familiarity of the material and the generally acceptable - to - lousy acting from the third - string cast ( though fanning is a surprisingly soulful , coltish exception ) , that moody tone is a lot of what push has going for it . superhero fans will likely be into push just for the cool - factor of watching embattled heroes and villains in a tense war of wits , wills , and skills . that broader audience is less likely to come along for the ride , but this particular gateway drug at least has ambition and brains going for it , as well as the usual spastic style .\ndisaster movie , which along with all the narrow / shallow parodies and crude jokes , consists of long running gags that were never funny to begin with . what makes disaster movie\nspecial\nis that it goes even further on all of this , managing to be more aggressively unfunny , more pandering , more vapid , and even cheaper - looking than the films before it . the film shot up ( or down ? ) to the # 1 spot on im db ' s worst film list in less than a day and bombed in theaters . this film was so bad that pajiba\n[ refused ] to dignify [ their ] movie with a new review\n. usa today film critic louis fehrey , in his review , said that disaster movie was an insult to the intelligence of him and his fellow americans and an insult to cinema . he subsequently published an article in usa today summing up all the reviews of the film , which were near universally negative .\ni thought push was great . but i think you ' re right about the\nfive years too soon\nthing . it could have easily been a netflix show now with a lesser known cast . or well - respected as an\nindie\nshot at the superhero world outside of marvel / dc .\ni bought this film knowing i may have a growing , unhealthy fixation on one chris evans the actor not the other one . what i got with this film was genuine excitement but more importantly i got the beautiful ming - na from tvs er and the always nice to watch cliff curtis from die hard 4 . plus a more grown up dakota fanning is a hoot and a half .\ni really enjoyed this film even though at times you could get a little confused with what was going on . fanning is the star of the picture , and is shaping up to be a great actress . the action is very good and realistic and even the powers are good . this film will keep you guessing all the way to the end , but blink and you ' ll miss something important .\njust a few months before its premiere at cannes , \u201cprecious\u201d won three awards at the sundance film festival , including a special jury prize for mo\u2019nique , who plays precious\u2019s monstrous mother . graphic as the film is , it is less so than \u201cpush , \u201d the 1996 novel on which it is based . written by an african - american poet and writer known as sapphire , \u201cpush\u201d relied on intentionally misspelled , broken and slangy english to convey precious\u2019s sense of despair and rage . the novel mixes poems by precious with sexually extreme scenes , like those in which she is forced to perform oral sex on her mother . it is almost relentlessly bleak : when precious discovers she is h . i . v . - positive , she is certain of her imminent death . daniels\u2019s movie , by contrast , offers a greater sense of possibility . he doesn\u2019t ignore her disease , hardships or struggles , but he also liberates her from them . precious is a stand - in for anyone \u2014 black , white , male , female \u2014 who has ever been devalued or underestimated .\nbarry jenkins\u2019 \u201c moonlight \u201d is a beautifully made drama that explores the life of a young man\u2019s struggles , told across three defining chapters of his life , as he grapples with his sexuality and broken family . the movie premiered at this year\u2019s telluride and toronto film festivals to critical acclaim . to accompany the film\u2019s moving story , nicholas britell composed a hypnotic and emotional score , that you can listen to below .\nphenomena . so she has actual talent ? nice . she has great charisma for the screen , especially with evans , which is good since their on -

the film was rushed ( and it shows ) to be released a week before cloverfield , hoping that unattentive moviegoers would watch their film instead of the latter .\nwhen daniels was getting up to accept the audience award at the sundance film festival in january , his cellphone rang , and it was oprah winfrey . she was calling to tell him that she had seen \u201cprecious , \u201d that the movie \u201csplit her open\u201d and that she wanted to put her might behind the film . \u201ci said , \u2018i\u2019m accepting an award right now , \u2019 \u201d daniels recalled . \u201cshe said , \u2018then why are you answering your phone ? \u2019 \u201d\non his blog , televisual ( at urltoken ) , he wrote that precious was \u201cby far the scariest movie for anyone invested in having only \u2018good\u2019 representations of black people ( \u2018the cosby show ! \u2019 ) in film and tv . \u201d\npushers have the ability to implant memories , thoughts and emotions into the minds of other people in order to manipulate them . the skill level of the pusher determines how many people the pusher is able to control at one time , and how vivid the implanted memories are . a powerful pusher can push a large group of people at the same time , basically creating a personal army . a pusher is able to make a person do anything the pusher desires , even commit suicide . a pusher ' s eyes indicate how powerful they are : their pupils will dilate to certain degrees depending on how powerful the push is ( for example , henry carver ' s eyes are rendered completely black , signifying that he is an extremely able and effective pusher ) .\nit was clear that the film was setting up a universe or a franchise . the shadow organization was still out there . there were questions left unanswered at the end of the story . i keep wondering what would have happened if the film had come out in the middle of the marvel upswing , instead of right at the start . if it would have taken off to become a great franchise with several films delving into the division and the different powers . or . . . do i just love the film but most people think it is terrible ? i admit the screamers bit was absolutely bonkers , but i still loved how fresh this new ip was and i wish it had gotten off the ground ."]}

the mantle of cinema then was taken up by some spirited directors and writers . films thus came out of the cocoon of drama and portrayed human emotions in a realistic manner .\nhow did john paul , one - time journalist and a bank employee , enter filmdom as a script writer ? john paul rules out the common expectations of a family lineage in cinema and attributes it to the sheer passion celluloid evoked in him during the seventies .\ni was working with the features section of the now defunct kerala times . dr . sebastian paul , present ernakulam mla , was in charge of the section . i used to write features and other articles on cinema . this was one factor which drew me close to the medium .\nthe mapping of human emotions in cinema and the immense potential it holds enthused me to enter the world of films . i was also an active member of the ernakulam film society ,\nhe says .\nenter i . v . sasi , a hitmaker of the eighties , and john paul was asked to suggest a story for his forthcoming film . the director took the young writer to veteran playwright , thoppil bhasi . the film\nnjan njan mathram\nwas the outcome of the meeting between thoppil bhasi and john paul .\nthere were times when he used to complete 14 films in a row and still continue to churn out films with a class of their own .\nthe characters he brought out through the excellent acting of bharat gopi in\normaykayi\nand nedumudi venu in\nvidaparayum mumbe\nstill remain fresh in the minds of the malayali audience .\nwith the prathap pothan directed , mohanlal starer ,\nyatramozhi\n, john paul took a temporary break from writing scripts . he then went on to build the malayalam cine technicians ' association ( macta ) with his friends in the industry .\nmacta has grown into a major association of

[\n\uf041 flat no . 102 , s . s , prime view apartments plot no . b - 40 road , . , no . 7 , film nagar , jubilee hills , , hyderabad , telangana , india , 500045\ni agree with this , and lingaa isn\u2019t up to mark . the question is , who is the director for the job ? i think the only tamil director really capable of doing a satisfying rajnikanth film is shankar .\nsuperstar rajinikanth ' s\nlingaa\nis set for record release in the usa . the film ' s us distribution rights have reportedly been acquired by classics entertainments , one of the leading distributing companies in the country .\nin addition , the film is being sold overseas for approx 30 crore just for the tamil version . in addition to this all , there are music rights , which are with eros ,\nthe source stated .\nsince austenitic stainless steels have good properties of strength and toughness , and high corrosion resistance , they have been widely used in the field of power plants , chemical plants , and other industries [ 1 ] . the high corrosion resistance of austenitic stainless steel is due to the chemical stability of the passive film formed on the surface , and the properties of the film depends upon the alloying elements of the steels . basically , stainless steel can be defined as having a chromium content of over 12 % ; thus the passive film is mainly composed of cr 2 o 3 , and the corrosion resistance can be improved by the addition of ni , mo , w , n , etc .\nit will be the first ever film in rajinikanth\u2019s career to be releasing on his birthday , december 12 . therefore , the annual chaos and celebration are expected to hit a new high this year in theatres and multiplexes across the state . there will be the customary paal abhishekam , where rajinikanth\u2019s king - size cut - outs will be showered with milk and honey before the show is on , with fireworks in different parts of the city . at chennai\u2019s kasi theatre , fans will cut a cake for the superstar , to mark his 65th birthday and watch a special show of the film at 1am . the film will release in more than 2 , 500 screens across the country and close to 10 , 000 screens worldwide .\nlingaa somehow managed to feel rushed and interminable simultaneously . the screenplay felt slapped together , but it also dragged on and on . i can almost forgive misogyny , plot holes , etc . if the film was at least entertaining . but the film committed what , to me , is the worst sin a film like this can commit , which was that it was boring . the flashback dragged on and on and on . i was sick of hearing about that damn dam , and how great lingeswara was , the scene of him calling on everyone to forget caste , him and the british guy verbally sparring , yadda , yadda , yadda . the train fight scene was the one sign of life in the entire movie . i thought that was pretty well done .\n@ brangan : good \ud83d\ude42 since i don\u2019t really know much about cinematographic or the technical aspects of film making , i didn\u2019t comment on them . but , now , i can argue that it is not only shankar\u2019s plot and writing that are crass but also his craft\u2026\never before it hits the screens ,\nlingaa\nhas made huge pre - release business . the film ' s rights have reportedly been bagged by eros international for a whopping amount . according to reports , it could fetch \u20b9200 crore for eros prior to release .\nb compares the relationship between the polarization and pitting potential . the figures show that increasing the polarization resistance of stainless steels increases the pitting potential . that is , it should be noted that the properties of a passive film are important for enhancing the resistance to pitting corrosion .\nshows the results for the ac impedance measurement on 316l stainless steel at 0 v ( sce ) in de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl solution . the passive film was formed at 0 v ( sce ) for 30 min and the ac impedance was measured .\nshows the effect of aging time on the mott - schottky plot of the passive film formed at 0 v ( sce ) for 30 min in de - aerated 3 . 5 % nacl solution at 30 \u00b0c . through the mott - schottky plot , we can find the bipolarity [\ni am glad there are people who think not so highly of padayappa . the movie hasn\u2019t aged well at all and that\u2019s why really shankar is the man\u2019s man for you . rajini taking on rajini is really the ultimate concept and endhiran for me is the best rajini film since baasha .\nbaddy , agree with a lot of what you say . the film was a lot longer than necessary . also , the lack of good villains was spot on . the whole brit crew was laughable . where is tom alter when you need him ? \ud83d\ude42 i agree , the lack of an equal opposite brings the movie down a lot . besides , the songs didn\u2019t hit home either and that becomes problematic in a movie that has such huge expectations . my biggest point is that this what you get when you have a project manager helming the film\u2026 . never been a fan of that guy .\n] . in this mott - schottky plot , a positive slope means n - type semiconductive properties , while a negative slope implies p - type semiconductive properties . therefore , the passive film formed on 316l stainless steel in sodium chloride solution reveals p - n type semiconductive properties , i . e . , the bipolar film . increasing the aging time still did not change the n - type properties , but did gradually reduce the slope of the p - type properties . in other words , the aging treatment to stainless steel deteriorated the bipolar properties , especially the p - type property and therefore reduced the pitting corrosion resistance .\nlingaa is , as many industry insiders say , rajinikanth\u2019s response to naysayers after his previous film kochadaiiyaan failed at the box - office . it is also his quickest project since he earned the title of superstar . within a month of kochadaiiyaan \u2019s release , after a leading tamil daily named vijay as the next superstar , the cast and crew of lingaa are said to have geared up , all guns blazing , to reiterate who the real superstar is and worked extra hard to finish the film in less than six months , making it his second release of the year . the shooting was completed in less than 100 days , with reportedly few or no breaks .\nthe seasonal favourite haricharan \u2019s singing is exceptionally soulful in unmai orunaal vellum , but the song as such works only intermittently . barring a few moments of brilliance in the arrangement , particularly around the interludes , the song is a rather tedious listen . the other melody fares better in comparison ; en mannava has a more appealing tune that is delivered neatly by aditi paul and srinivas . the arrangement once again soars during the interludes , especially for the way a r rahman overlays the chorus and asad khan \u2019s sitar phrases . the anthemic sound and a r rahman \u2019s voice would invariably mean that indiane vaa evokes memories of older songs of the same kind . it is an engaging listen nevertheless ; i found the use of percussion particularly interesting .\nat one point i couldn\u2019t help laughing at how awful the british actors were . just dreadful . the sets were awful , the acting was awful , the dialogue was awful , the hair and costumes were awful . alagappan nailed it when he said this felt like a balakrishna film . but without the fun of some of balakrishna\u2019s more insane fight scenes .\nanuja / rakesh \u2013 good you pointed out arr\u2019s music specifically in your posts . in all the ruckus about the movie review itself , arr seems to be getting less of the brickbats than he rightly deserves . even an average rating for this album is too much in my opinion , but background score in the film itself was mediocre too , no great shakes .\nso , all i see in shankar films again is all the terribly tiring tropes of tamil cinema , global masala - dom and some more appalling stuff wrapped in a supposedly fresh or modern package . the movies are badly written , unbelievably long and the dialogues are unexceptional . so , i can\u2019t really place shankar a notch above ksr or other mass film makers .\nhowever , pranam khareedu was released earlier at the box office . chiru known for his break dancing skills , chiranjeevi acted sofar in 149 films and his 150th film is on its way . in 2006 , chiranjeevi was honoured with the padma bhushan , india\u2019s third highest civilian award , for his contributions to indian cinema , and was presented with an honorary doctorate from andhra university .\nwrt shankar , he uses high - concept ( for indian films ) plot ideas with above - average action scenes and concepts ( the ending of enthiran was truly amazing ) , and , of course , he and arr are one of the best current director - composer teams . otherwise his films have the same undercooked female characters and regressive values as any other tamil film .\neffect of unsm on the mott - schottky plot of the passive film formed at 0 v ( sce ) for 30 min . in de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl solution : ( a ) non - aged specimen ; ( b ) 1 h - aged specimen ; ( c ) 5 h - aged specimen , and ( d ) 48 h - aged specimen .\nunsm - treatment of the slightly sensitized 316l stainless steel increased the pitting potential , decreased the passive current density , and increased the resistance of the passive film . however , in the case of the heavily sensitized 316l stainless steel , the unsm - treatment decreased the pitting potential , increased the passive current density , and decreased the resistance of the passive film . this behavior is due to the dual effects by unsm - treatment . that is , unsm - treatment reduced the carbon segregation regardless of whether the stainless steel 316l was slightly or heavily sensitized . however , since this treatment created mechanical flaws in the outer surface , in the case of the heavily sensitized stainless steel , the unsm - treatment may eliminate chromium carbide , and this flaw can be a potential pitting initiation site , and therefore decrease the pitting corrosion resistance .\nthe mott - schottky plot was prepared to determine the semiconductive properties of the passive film . the specimen preparation was the same as that for the ac impedance measurement and the dc amplitude was 10 mv ( peak - to - peak ) at 1580 hz of the ac frequency [ 37 ] . the capacitance was measured at the scan rate of 50 mv / s from + 0 . 5 v ( sce ) to \u22121 v ( sce ) .\non ksr \u2014 why is he a celebrated film maker still ? i don\u2019t get that . he seems so out of tune ( thanks lingu ! ) with times . even back in his heydays apart from his kamal associations which i am sure has a lot of the latter\u2019s influence , i don\u2019t recall anything worth mentioning except for \u2013 muthu which was fun . padayappa was so - so ! padayappa infact became tolerable for me after repeat tv viewings .\nshows the effect of unsm on the nyquist plot of 316l stainless steel at 0 v ( sce ) in de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl solution . except for the 48 h - aged specimen , the nyquist plots of non - or slightly - aged specimens were improved . a randles model was used to calculate the resistances of the passive film of 316l stainless steel at 0 v ( sce ) in de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl .\nshows the effect of unsm on the mott - schottky plot of the passive film formed at 0 v ( sce ) for 30 min in de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl solution . regardless of the unsm treatment , all of the specimens revealed p - n type semiconductive properties . the n - type properties ( positive slope ) of the non - or slightly sensitized specimens were relatively strong , but the n - type properties of the heavily sensitized specimen were relatively weak .\noh , there was one other scene that ushered in much excitement . it\u2019s when we learn it\u2019s the birthday of the rajinikanth character in the flashback . a cake is wheeled out . people sing the birthday song . fans watching lingaa on its day of release , december 12 ( rajinikanth\u2019s birthday ) , will enjoy being in the superstar\u2019s vicinity as he cuts his birthday cake . but that\u2019s just a temporary high . next time , how about a film that leaves us with happy memories on other days as well ?\nin the case of slightly sensitized 316l stainless steel , the aging time drastically decreased the pitting potential , increased the passive current density , and lowered the resistance of the passive film , even though chromium carbide and the chromium depletion zone were not formed by aging . this behavior is due to the micro - galvanic corrosion between the matrix and the carbon segregated area , and shows the importance of carbon segregation in grain boundaries to the pitting corrosion resistance of stainless steel , in addition to the formation of the chromium depletion zone .\nstainless steels have good corrosion resistance in many environments but welding or aging can decrease their resistance . this work focused on the effect of aging time and ultrasonic nano - crystal surface modification on the passivation behavior of 316l stainless steel . in the case of slightly sensitized 316l stainless steel , increasing the aging time drastically decreased the pitting potential , increased the passive current density , and decreased the resistance of the passive film , even though aging did not form chromium carbide and a chromium depletion zone . this behavior is due to the micro - galvanic corrosion between the matrix and carbon segregated area , and this shows the importance of carbon segregation in grain boundaries to the pitting corrosion resistance of stainless steel , in addition to the formation of the chromium depletion zone . unsm ( ultrasonic nano crystal surface modification ) - treatment to the slightly sensitized 316l stainless steel increased the pitting potential , decreased the passive current density , and increased the resistance of the passive film . however , in the case of heavily sensitized 316l stainless steel , unsm - treatment decreased the pitting potential , increased the passive current density , and decreased the resistance of the passive film . this behavior is due to the dual effects of the unsm - treatment . that is , the unsm - treatment reduced the carbon segregation , regardless of whether the stainless steel 316l was slightly or heavily sensitized . however , since this treatment made mechanical flaws in the outer surface in the case of the heavily sensitized stainless steel , unsm - treatment may eliminate chromium carbide , and this flaw can be a pitting initiation site , and therefore decrease the pitting corrosion resistance .\na point i\u2019d like to re - iterate , is that my comparison is with shankar and other tamil film makers . when you open it up to include hollywood films , then quite naturally , the flaws in indian movies become magnified severalfold . of course multiple / split personalities have been handled far more frequently and better in movies like psycho & primal fear in the psychological thriller genre , given a comedic twist in jim carrey\u2019s me , myself and irene and even addressed in gollum\u2019s conversations with himself in the rings trilogy , to name just a few examples .\n@ kothavaranga : i am one such binge watcher . even i find lingaa difficult to defend . i can accept anything , except for this \u2018let - us - make - any - nonsense - the - people - will - be - ok\u2019 attitude . the film was clearly half done in many parts , and any competent director would\u2019ve cut out some of the flashback portions . i liked parts of it ( unlike many people here ) , but the flashback portions were really really boring . and after kaaviyathalaivan and i , this was the law - of - averages album for rahman , i guess .\nmy most favorite part of the film was . . the character of the flashback - villain\u2019s wife was the . . don\u2019t know what to say . we know characters are written for a purpose after all but we still look for some kind of an arc or a \u2018travel\u2019 as kollywood likes to call it or some substance \u2013 but from the minute she got introduced and in every shot you could see it\u2019s written all over the script in caps she will reveal the truth . you wait to see how bad it could get and when that scene unfolded it was so bad that it was * so * good !\ncrime and punishment cast list , listed alphabetically with photos when available . this list of crime and punishment actors includes any crime and punishment actresses and all other actors from the film . you can view additional information about each crime and punishment actor on this list , such as when and where they were born . to find out more about a particular actor or actress , click on their name and you ' ll be taken to page with even more details about their acting career . the cast members of crime and punishment have been in many other movies , so use this list as a starting point to find actors or actresses that you may not be familiar with .\nwith indian , by the time , the father - son face - off comes about , i had had enough and just wanted the film to be over ! but , right from first , i thought it was clearly set up what senapathy\u2019s standing was and he wasn\u2019t one to compromise on his principles because of paternal love ( which was proved with his daughter\u2019s case as well ) . there never was going to be a moral question for him , never really any occasion for internal conflict or turmoil . so , it wasn\u2019t really intriguing to me . there was potential for some subversion with the manisha koirala character ( \u201cvaayilla praanikku ethaavathu onnunnale thaanga maatta nee\u201d ) . well , to expect complexity in the female lead is just too much , i guess !\nvip was definitely one of my favorite \u2018star\u2019 movies this year as well . but , think about it this way . dhanush is a \u2018star\u2019 no question , but he\u2019s no \u2018superstar\u2019 yet . for a dhanush film to work , you kind of need all the things you mentioned , and it all came together in vip . but do you remember the debacle that was naiyaandi\u2026 ? even take suriya for instance . he is a big \u2018star\u2019 as well , but what was the faith of anjaan\u2026 ? the likes of dhanush and suriya et . al , aren\u2019t in the same league of \u2018super\u2019 stardom as those i mentioned earlier , hence a good script , story , technicians , music , are all crucial elements for their respective movies to succeed . they can\u2019t just show up on screen and expect to ring in the cash registers unlike our \u2018superstars\u2019 \u2013 .\nwith all this , it\u2019s a small miracle that the person summoned to make a \u201crajini movie\u201d doesn\u2019t turn chalk - white with fear and flee to a foreign country under an assumed name . but that cannot excuse the films . lingaa is talky and overlong ( nearly three hours ) , plagued with pacing issues , and \u2013 worse \u2013 it tells a story that lays no claims to our emotions . rajinikanth plays two roles . in the present - day portions , he\u2019s a thief , and a lot of time is wasted on this character\u2019s doings ( one of them a heist involving a tennis ball , balloons , and sticker pottu ) till we get to a british -

curves of the time - temperature - sensitization ( tts ) diagram of aisi 316 stainless steel are displaced towards lesser time by increasing the cold work , and sensitization of the aisi 316 stainless steel accelerated the precipitation of the cr 23 c 6 carbide [ 35 ] . remarkable improvements in the degree of sensitization ( dos ) and the intergranular corrosion ( igc ) of type 304 ( uns s 30400 ) and type 316l ( uns s 31603 ) stainless steels were achieved through extreme grain boundary randomization [ 36 ] . recently , our group reported that even though chromium carbide was not precipitated , aging time drastically increased the intergranular corrosion rate of 316l stainless steel , and we confirmed that the increased intergranular corrosion rate of slightly sensitized ( not carbide formed ) 316l stainless steel was due to the carbon segregation along the grain boundaries . unsm treatment improved the intergranular corrosion resistance of aged stainless steels , and the improvement was due to the reduction of carbon segregation and the grain refinement of the outer surface , including the introduction of compressive residual stress [ 5 ] .\nas discussed above , the unsm treatment improves the mechanical properties and induces the nano - crystallization of the outer surface , but there has been little research on the effects of unsm on the anodic polarization behavior of stainless steel . this work , therefore , focused on the effect of unsm treatment on the anodic polarization behavior of aged 316l stainless steel and proposed its mechanism .\nshows the chemical composition of the aisi 316l austenitic stainless steel used in this work . aging treatments were performed at 650 \u00b0c for 1 , 5 , and 48 h in n\nprotective atmosphere , and then the steel was water quenched . unsm treatment was applied to the surface using unsm equipment ( design mecha - lm20 unsm system , asan , korea ) .\nconditions of unsm ( ultrasonic nano crystal surface modification ) treatment on 316l stainless steel .\nshows the shape and dimensions of the specimen for the electrochemical test ( anodic polarization , ac - impedance , and mott - schottky tests ) .\nspecimens were cut to a size of 1 . 5 \u00d7 1 . 5 mm , and after electrical connection , they were epoxy - mounted , and the surface was ground using # 600 sic paper and coated with epoxy resin , except for an area of 1 cm 2 . the anodic polarization test was performed in 3 . 5 % nacl solution using a potentiostat ( gamry dc 105 , warminster , va , usa ) and the reference electrode was a saturated calomel electrode ( sce ) , and the counter electrode was high - density graphite rods . the test solution was de - aerated using nitrogen gas at the rate of 100 ml / min for 30 min and the scanning rate was 0 . 33 mv / s . the pitting potential that is the least positive potential at which pits can form was determined from the anodic polarization curve .\nin order to measure the ac impedance , the specimens were ground using # 2000 sic paper , and then polished using a diamond paste ( 3 \u03bcm ) . the test solution was the same as that of the polarization test . the ac impedance measurement was performed using an electrochemical analyzer ( gamry eis 300 , warminster , va , usa ) . before measuring , passivation was treated at + 0 mv ( sce ) for 30 min . ac impedance was measured at a passivation potential from 10 khz to 0 . 01 hz and the ac voltage amplitude was 10 mv .\nthe specimen was cut to a size of 20 \u00d7 20 \u00d7 5 mm and then ground with # 2000 sic paper and polished with a 3 \u00b5m diamond paste . finally , the specimen was cleaned with ethyl alcohol , using an ultrasonic cleaner . the microstructure was observed by optical microscopy ( axiotech 100hd , zeiss , oberkochen , germany ) and sem - eds ( vega ii lmu , tescan , brno , czech republic ) , after etching by aqua regia ( 70 ml hno 3 + 30 ml hcl ) . also , an electron probe micro analyzer ( epma - 1600 15 kv , shimadzu , kyoto , japan ) was used to identify the elemental distribution of the passivated surface .\nshows the effect of aging time at 650 \u00b0c on the polarization behavior of the 316l stainless steel in de - aerated 3 . 5 % nacl at 30 \u00b0c . in the case of the annealed specimen ( 316l - 0 h ) , the corrosion potential and pitting potential were high , but the aging treatment degraded the anodic polarization behavior of the 316l stainless steel . increasing the aging time lowered the pitting potential and also increased the passive current density at 0 v ( sce ) . generally , the aging treatment formed chromium carbides in the grain boundary and grain , and then generated a chromium - depleted zone near the carbide . therefore , pitting corrosion was easily initiated at this chromium - depleted zone , and the pitting resistance was reduced . however , it is interesting to note that the pitting potential of even the 1 or 5 h - aged specimen decreased drastically , and their passive current densities greatly increased . from a thermodynamical aspect [\n] , short aging times such as 1 or 5 h could not form chromium carbides , but did degrade their passivation behavior . a similar pattern of corrosion by aging time was already observed in the intergranular corrosion behavior [\neffect of aging time at 650 \u00b0c on the polarization behavior of 316l stainless steel ( de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl ) : ( a ) anodic polarization curves ; ( b ) pitting potential with aging time ; and ( c ) passive current density with aging time .\na shows that increasing the aging time depressed the nyquist plots and their impedance circles . the polarization resistance was calculated using a randles model .\nac impedance measurement on 316l stainless steel at 0 v ( sce ) in de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl : ( a ) nyquist plot ; and ( b ) r p vs . pitting potential .\nshows the effect of unsm on the polarization behavior of 316l stainless steel aged at 650 \u00b0c in de - aerated 3 . 5 % nacl solution at 30 \u00b0c . in the case of the non - aged specimen , unsm - treatment ( 316l - 0hu ) improved the anodic polarization behavior . in contrast , the unsm - treatment increased the anodic polarization behavior of 1 h and 5 h - aged specimens , but the treatment degraded the behavior of the 48 h - aged specimen .\nreveals the effect of unsm on the passive current density and pitting potential obtained in de - aerated 3 . 5 % nacl solution at 30 \u00b0c . in summary , the unsm - treatment on the slightly sensitized specimen reduced the passive current density and increased the pitting potential , while the treatment on the heavily sensitized specimen increased the passive current density and lowered the pitting potential . it is interesting that the unsm - treatment enhanced the intergranular corrosion in even the heavily sensitized specimen , in addition to the slightly sensitized specimen [\neffect of unsm on the polarization behavior of 316l stainless steel aged at 650 \u00b0c in de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl solution ; ( a ) non - aged specimen ; ( b ) 1 h - aged specimen ; ( c ) 5 h - aged specimen ; and ( d ) 48 h - aged specimen .\neffect of unsm on ( a ) passive current density ; and ( b ) pitting potential obtained in de -

aged specimen ; ( c ) 5 h - aged specimen ; and ( d ) 48 h - aged specimen .\npitting corrosion initiates by nonmetallic inclusions or second - phase intermetallics in the stainless steel surface microstructure [ 44 ] . stainless steel can be sensitized by aging treatment , and thus chromium carbides and a chromium - depleted zone can be formed near the grain boundaries [ 45 ] ; and in addition , it was recently reported that carbon segregated areas near grain boundaries of even slightly sensitized stainless steel were formed , and this carbon segregation facilitated the intergranular corrosion [ 4 ] .\nshows that the pitting potential was greatly reduced in even the slightly sensitized specimen .\nshows the results of observation of the surface after the anodic polarization test in order to elucidate this corrosion behavior .\nc shows that in the 48 h - aged specimen , the corroded area finally looks like the appearance corroded along grain boundaries .\nsem image after the polarization test in de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl : ( a ) 1 h - aged ; ( b ) 5 h - aged ; and ( c ) 48 h - aged .\nshows the epma analysis that was therefore performed in order to compare the corroded appearance to elemental correlation .\nshows the elemental distribution analyzed by epma on the surface of the aged 316l stainless steel after the polarization test in de - aerated 3 . 5 % nacl at 30 \u00b0c . in the case of 1 h and 5 h - aged specimens , carbon was relatively more segregated at the corroded area , and carbon segregation can be definitely confirmed along the grain boundaries of the chromium carbide formed specimen ( 48 h - aged ) . the passivation behavior of the slightly sensitized stainless steel can be affected by carbon segregation , and the segregated carbon induced micro - galvanic corrosion , which initiated pitting and degraded passivation [\n] . after the exposure beyond the critical duration for carbide formation , chromium depletion and carbide formed areas formed , and since these areas are sensitive to pitting initiation , they degraded the passivation .\nelemental distribution analyzed by epma ( electron probe micro analyzer ) on the surface of aged 316l stainless steel after the polarization test in de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl : ( a ) 1 h - aged ; ( b ) 5 h - aged ; and ( c ) 48 h - aged .\non the other hand , the unsm - treatment improved the passivation of 1 h and 5 h - aged specimens , but decreased the pitting resistance of the 48 h - aged specimen . wang , et al . [\n] , residual stress in the surface layer with different surface finishes affects the critical current density and the current density for passivation , the factors of which are closely related to the formation and retention of the passivation layer . many researchers [\n] reported that the high mechanical energy imparted by various methods to the steel surface may also induce the diffusion of the alloying elements and therefore can affect the intergranular corrosion resistance of the stainless steels . we already proposed that the unsm treatment improved the intergranular corrosion resistance of the aged stainless steels , and the improvement was due to the reduction of carbon segregation and the grain refinement of the outer surface , including the introduction of compressive residual stress [\nshows the elemental distribution analyzed by epma on the surface of unsm treated 316l stainless steel after the polarization test in de - aerated 3 . 5 % nacl at 30 \u00b0c . it can be confirmed that the unsm - treatment reduced carbon segregation regardless of the aging time . as described above , carbon segregation facilitates micro - galvanic corrosion , and therefore the reduction of carbon segregation by the unsm - treatment should improve the pitting corrosion resistance . in the case of the slightly sensitized specimen , this was true , but the pitting corrosion resistance was decreased in the heavily sensitized specimen in spite of the reduction of carbon segregation by the unsm - treatment . that is , this behavior requires another explanation .\nshows sem images of unsm - treated specimens before / after the anodic polarization test in de - aerated 3 . 5 % nacl at 30 \u00b0c . mechanical flaws by the unsm - treatment can be observed even in the specimen before the anodic polarization test . in particular , in the case of the 48 h - aged specimen , several mechanical flaws were observed ; and after the anodic polarization test , it was confirmed that the pitting corrosion initiated and propagated at the flaws . in other words , it should be noted that while the unsm - treatment can reduce the carbon segregation by aging , it can increase the irregularity of the surface due to mechanical flaws .\nelemental distribution analyzed by epma on the surface of unsm treated 316l stainless steel after the polarization test in de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl : ( a ) 1 h - aged ; ( b ) 5 h - aged ; and ( c ) 48 h - aged .\nsem images of unsm - treated specimens before / after the anodic polarization test in de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl : ( a ) 1 h - aged ; ( b ) 5 h - aged ; and ( c ) 48 h - aged .\ntherefore , we propose the pitting corrosion model of the stainless steel by unsm - treatment .\nshows the pitting corrosion model of aged 316l stainless steel by the unsm treatment . in the slightly aged specimen , the unsm - treatment refines the grain of the outer surface [\n] and reduces the carbon segregation , and therefore increases the pitting corrosion resistance even though it creates mechanical flaws . on the other hand , in the case of the over - aged specimen , the unsm - treatment refines the grain of the outer surface , and reduces the carbon segregation similar to the slightly aged specimen , but creates mechanical flaws on the surface , and then these flaws act as the initiation sites of pitting corrosion , and finally decrease the pitting corrosion resistance ."]}

[ 15 ]\nthe film was the second in an unofficial trilogy made by the same director and producer and starring robert taylor , coming between ivanhoe ( 1952 ) and the adventures of quentin durward ( 1955 ) . all three were made at mgm ' s british studios at elstree , near london and partly filmed on location . the cast included robert taylor as sir lancelot , ava gardner as queen guinevere , mel ferrer as king arthur , anne crawford as morgan le fay , stanley baker as mordred and felix aylmer as merlin .\nbarber ( wilfrid hyde - white ) shaving french king louis ( robert morley ) , who calls on newly - hired scottish knight robert taylor ( title character ) to guard countess isabelle ( kay kendall ) from unwelcome visitors , in quentin durward , 1955 , from the sir walter scott novel . >\nquentin durward ( 1955 ) was the last in an unofficial trilogy of historical adventures produced by m - g - m ' s pandro s . berman , directed by richard thorpe , and starring robert taylor . ivanhoe ( 1952 ) and knights of the round table ( 1953 , fsmcd vol . 6 , no . 7 ) had been scored by miklos rozsa , but during the middle of 1955 rozsa was occupied with the studio ' s diane ( fsmcd vol . 7 , no . 3 ) , so the new picture was taken on by bronislau kaper .\nsome kind of achievement for me . finally , read\nquentin durward\nby walter scott in original and expand my english vocabulary with about 50 words , that would be useful for reenactment ) . great book , definitely the good read , as it was in my childhood . ps . historical notes and references alongside the text are great too .\nbronislau kaper ' s score for quentin durward is a delightful swashbuckling effort in the best tradition of erich wolfgang korngold ' s ' 30s and ' 40s efforts and the cinemascope - era scores by waxman , rozsa and steiner . the themes range from a lighthearted scottish jig to a yearning love theme , and melancholy strains of unrequited affection\u2014with solidly symphonic action music for the derring - do . the score has long been desired by fans of the genre .\ni have to admit i was a little surprised by how engaging , exciting , and funny this historical novel by sir walter scott was . this novel , written in 1823 , tells the story of quentin durward , a wandering scottish nobleman who goes to france to make his fortune and ends up serving in the scottish guard of the french king , louis xi . quentin is as noble and true and chivalrous as louis is sneaky , cruel , and out for number one , but together they make a pretty good team and a very satisfying story . als\nwritten to introduce children to the works of sir walter scott , both volumes bear the sub - title\nstolen from the treasure chest of the wizard of the north\n. stories include episodes from waverley , guy mannering , rob roy , the antiquary , ivanhoe , the fortunes of nigel , quentin durward & the pirate . \u201c in this simple recounting of adventures there lurks a really high art , and not a little humor . mr . crockett is aiming to bring home to his critical small audience the liveliness , the excitement , the breathless adventuresomeness , of these great novels . he is luring his hearers on to read for them - selves . he tells them enough about the people and the events to make them hurry to the books to fill out details . \u201d \u2014 churchman .\nwalter scott\u2019s novel of 1823 follows a scottish nobleman to 15th century france where he seeks his fortune as a mercenary working for the devious king louis xi . quentin durward believes in chivalry in an age when chivalry is going out of fashion , but sticks to his principles throughout in spite of many obstacles . this is but one example of the various impressively realised characterisations in the novel , against a fast moving action packed story with occasional moments of gutsy violence . the bac\nthe film is part of a thematic series with 1952 ' s ivanhoe and 1955 ' s quentin durward ( which were also produced by mgm and directed by richard thorpe , and also starred robert taylor ) , with a similar chivalric spirit and tone and similarly lavish production values . all three were filmed at mgm ' s british studios at elstree , near london .\nthus , the scott cinema canon , which had been fairly eclectic in the early years of film , soon narrowed to just three principal source works : rob roy , ivanhoe , and quentin durward . the small number of recent scott films had continued this trend : most were made in post - soviet russia , and one , rob roy ( usa , 1995 ) , is only tangentially based on the original novel . [ 13 ] significantly , too , only rob roy had been a favourite with theatre - goers before the advent of cinema : there were some 970 stage adaptations of the novel produced in the century between 1817 and 1917 , nearly four times as many as ivanhoe and quentin durward combined . [ 14 ] so why did one great scotch romance and a couple of minor medieval romances assume such prominence in the cinema ? the following section of this essay will consider some of the surviving film versions of these three novels , with particular attention to cinematic representations of scotland .\nn 1465 , the impecunious scottish knight quentin durward travels to france to determine whether the countess isabelle of marcroy will make a suitable bride for his aged uncle . the marriage has been arranged by the duke of burgundy to from a lasting alliance with scotland . aware that her intended husband is an old man , isabelle takes flight and puts herself under the protection of the king of france , louis xi . quentin pursues her and manages to inveigle his way into the king ' s confidence . fearing that a rift with burgundy will lead to an all - out war that france can ill afford , the king conceives a fiendish plan that will deliver isabelle into the hands of the notorious brigand count william de la marck . . .\nscott\u2019s reinvention of rob roy as a highland robin hood conveniently supplied disney with a link between the jacobite setting of the novel and the more congenial medieval scott of ivanhoe , the talisman , and quentin durward . [ 45 ] conscious of the catastrophe of alexander korda\u2019s bonnie prince charlie in 1948 , hollywood studios were anxious to find ways of exploiting the magnificent scottish scenery and the action , colour , and revelry of scots \u201ctartanry\u201d without having to deal with the dramatically unpromising facts of the failed rebellions of 1715 and 1745 and the integration of scotland into the united kingdom . the highland rogue therefore belongs more compellingly with other chivalric romances coming out of the british - american co - productions of the period , such as another jacobite makeover of 1953 , warners\u2019 film of robert louis stevenson\u2019s the master of ballantrae , in which the presence of errol flynn inevitably calls up robin hood . [ 46 ]\ni read this long ago and liked it very much . the story is about a young archer , quentin durward , who leaves his native scotland to serve in the scottish guard of louis xi of france . as security detail he accompanies the beautiful isabelle de croye of burgundy on a journey to flanders . the lady is promised in marriage to quite a few men within the story : first to an odious nobleman in the burgundy court , then to a bandit , next to the duke of orleans . when she refuses the duke , he promises her to\ni recently watched the hollywood movie version of quentin durward ( in several youtube installments ) , starring robert taylor , kaye kendall , and robert morley ; and i decided to pick up a used hard - bound copy to read in the original literary format . even after having read barely 70 pages of the book , including the 33 - page\nintroduction\n, i was able to affirm that for once hollywood captured the book ' s droll , ironic humor , especially in the on - screen characterization of louis xi ( aka the\nspider kin\ni have to admit i was a little surprised by how engaging , exciting , and funny this historical novel by sir walter scott was . this novel , written in 1823 , tells the story of quentin durward , a wandering scottish nobleman who goes to france to make his fortune and ends up serving in the scottish guard of the french king , louis xi . quentin is as noble and true and chivalrous as louis is sneaky , cruel , and out for number one , but together they make a pretty good team and a very satisfying story . also includes a damsel in distress , some pointedly two - faced religious devotions , and some pretty racist comments about the gypsies .\nthe maid of france : being the story of the life and death of jeanne d ' arc . 1908 .\nthen she made the holy sign of the cross , and the face of the elf grew black , and the light went out of the sky .\nwhen i first read this novel in high school , i really liked it and always thought it was an excellent historical adventure novel ( there is probably a better term for this type of literature ) . after reading another novel about mercenaries recently , i decided to re - read quentin durward just to remind myself of how novels about mercenaries really should be written . well , this experience was pretty interesting . the story is about the french king louis xi as much as it is about the scottish archer , quentin durward who serves the french king . in fact , there is probably more text dedicated to the king and his affairs . this side of the story really slows the flow of the book although shows in detail what kind of monarch and politic louis xi really was - you will be repulsed by his actions and you will admire him a little . it sounds crazy but think about it - how can you admire a story about adventures of a person who kills for money ( mercenary ) ? if you do , why not admire the king who is smart and ruthless at the same time ( or is it the same thing ? ) ? the adventures feel ancient in character and a bit naive ( think knights fighting for their dames ) but it ' s still enjoyable if you manage to sleep through the boring parts ( maybe it ' s just me but this is my review so . . . ) . overall , i found that i only got interested in the story after i ' ve gone though 2 / 3 of the book . and all i could say in the end was ,\nwell , good for him . what do i read next ?\ni read this long ago and liked it very much . the story is about a young archer , quentin durward , who leaves his native scotland to serve in the scottish guard of louis xi of france . as security detail he accompanies the beautiful isabelle de croye of burgundy on a journey to flanders . the lady is promised in marriage to quite a few men within the story : first to an odious nobleman in the burgundy court , then to a bandit , next to the duke of orleans . when she refuses the duke , he promises her to whoever will kill the bandit she was once to marry . quentin , true romance hero that he is , performs this task admirably and thereby gains isabell ' s love and hand in marriage . this was quite long . an enjoyable cloak and dagger novel with lots of historical detail about 15th - century france and scotland .\nmy second favorite of scott ' s work - - - next to ivanhoe . a good action / adventure story set against the interesting backdrop of 1400s france . the conflict between king louis and charles of burgundy was fun for me to read about , but anyone can enjoy characters like lady hamelina and the naive , honest hero , quentin durward himself . the book has more humor than you ' d expect , and that ' s a plus . i recommend this to anyone interested in trying out scott ' s other novels -

war and cold war years encouraged the consolidation of the cultures of the west , and the plots of ivanhoe and quentin durward both \u201cproject \u2026 incipient nation states [ or nato states ? ] , not as culturally unitary but as divided against themselves . \u201d [ 47 ] these plots can be resolved only by symbolic marriages . both stories offer domestic solutions to world - historical problems , therefore , and must have appealed to producers during the baby - boom of the 1950s when the american dream , projected as suburban domesticity and consumer culture , was being sold abroad as the most powerful weapon against communist russia . as critics have shown , too , ivanhoe in particular showed how the camouflage of costume might allow a more critical examination of cold war america . for example , elizabeth taylor\u2019s lead role as rebecca , the able , energetic jewess who falls in love with ivanhoe but must relinquish him in the end to the insipid anglo - saxon rowena , raises issues about the role of women , the prevalence of anti - semitism , and the spectre of mccarthyism in the 1950s .

witted son , prince ricardo . in tales of a fairy court ( 1907 ) , lang chronicles further episodes in the life of prince prigio . in one of the stories , prince prigio travels in time , first into the future of the twentieth century , then back in time to the court of king james vi of scotland . lang ' s tales of troy and greece ( 1907 ) comprises a retelling of homer ' s the iliad and the odyssey as a boy ' s adventure story for children . drawing on his own translations of homer ' s works and his accomplishments as a homeric scholar , lang ' s tales of troy and greece is highly regarded as one of his strongest volumes of stories for children .\n[ 43 ] the highland rogue was also , of course , one of scott\u2019s sources .\nin deserting all the literary traditions of fairyland and going for his inspiration to the border ballads and to the ancient folk beliefs and superstitions , lang was not acting unreasonably or from any spirit of forced innovation : for the fairies of the north are indeed the true fairies , and they were the products of the popular and literary creed of many centuries .\n[ in the following review , the critic comments on the appeal of lang ' s original fairy tales to modern readers , particularly the stories recounted in the gold of fairnilee and the princess nobody . ]\nthe year of lang ' s birth , 1844 , saw perhaps the earliest fusion of grimm and the french fairy court , in a forgotten tale , the hope of the katzekopfs by the reverend francis edward paget , where the new tradition is exemplified very clearly .\nthe movie debut of albert finney , at work in the raleigh . . .\njohnny nut and the golden goose ( from the french of charles deulin ) .\nlang frankly admitted\nthe process of evolution . . . is the mainspring of our system .\n18 the scholarly introduction to this new translation\u2014the first scholarly version of the grimm ' s household tales \u2014was most fortuitous .\nthe vedas do not represent the ordinary conversation of men , in which the process of naming and forgetting names is said to have existed .\nhe learned the tales of death divine and birth , strange loves of hawk and serpent , sky and earth , the marriage and the slaying of the sun ; the shrines of ghosts and beasts he wandered through , and mocked not of their godhead , for he knew behind all creeds the spirit that is one .\n[ 3 ] they are old mortality , the heart of midlothian , rob roy , the bride of lammermoor , a legend of montrose , and redgauntlet . of the two remaining scotch romances , the antiquary was set in scott\u2019s own time , and guy mannering in the days of his youth .\n[ 8 ] the bride of lammermoor ( j . stuart blackton , usa , 1909 ) , the bride of lammermoor ( it , 1910 ) kenilworth ( usa , 1909 ) , lochinvar ( based on marmion , j . searle dawley , usa , 1909 ) , quentin durward ( albert capellani , fr , 1911 ) , rob roy ( arthur vivian , uk , 1911 ) , the lady of the lake ( j . stuart blackton , usa , 1912 ) , guy mannering ( us , 1913 ) , ivanhoe ( herbert brenon , uk , 1913 ) , ivanhoe ( leedham bantock , uk , 1913 ) , rebecca the jewess ( based on ivanhoe , uk , 1913 ) , rob roy ( o . a . c . lund , usa , 1913 ) , a woman\u201ds triumph ( based on the heart of midlothian , j . searle dawley , usa , 1914 ) , the heart of midlothian ( frank wilson , uk , 1914 ) .\namong more literary classes the popular fairy - lore in the middle ages became diluted and changed by the addition of classical and romantic elements . perhaps the best example of this is the middle english poem of\nsir orfeo ,\nwhich tells the story of orpheus and eurydice in a setting of british fairy belief , making persephone queen of that fairyland under the ground to which , in the ballad , the fairy queen leads thomas the rhymer .\nthis is the eternal difficulty of the philological method . how are you to suppose that forgetfulness of the meaning of words so frequently led civilised men to ideas essentially savage ? how are you to be certain that the story was originally told of the god or hero whose name you analyse by the aid of philology ? 11\ni was reading quentin myself at this stage , albeit at home and in secret , firstly because the doctor had forbidden me reading yet again , and secondly because the book was too heavy to drag to school along with all my textbooks . and this coincidence , which then seemed to me to be mysteriously significant , made my heart pound even harder .\nk -

and - pencil illustrations do not reflect the earthy humor of the tale . many of the page - and - a - half spreads are static , and the rosy - cheeked , round - eyed men , women , and children resemble cartoon figures . overall , the soft colors and romanticized landscapes create a saccharine quality that is incompatible with the spirit of the story . those in need of\nthe flying ship\nshould turn to the yellow fairy book .\nthe process of diffusion remains uncertain . much may be due to the identity everywhere of early fancy : something to transmission .\neuterpe : being the second book of the famous history of herodotus , tr . barnaby rich ( editor ) . 1888 .\nthe second grouping , prince ricardo of pantouflia : being the adventures of prince prigio ' s son , offers a different twist . even in pantouflia , parents occasionally err in making life too easy for their offspring . so immersed is ricardo in using magical gifts to solve dilemmas that he neglects skill development and personal talents . rather than tending to his humdrum duties and his geography and mathematics studies . ricardo dashes and darts from one exciting exploit to another until his father decides to teach him a lesson .\njust the top of the\nyankee doodle boy\nnumber from george . . .\nduel to the death : lancelot challenges mordred in a duel to the death to avenge the death of king arthur in the climax .\nbetween 1909 and 1914 , fourteen scott films were made in four different countries ( the uk , usa , france , and italy ) from seven novels , one story , and a poem : still barely one - third of the number of films made from dickens\u2019s writing in the same period . ivanhoe , which almost alone made scott\u2019s name known to later generations of moviegoers , was already the favourite , attracting three film versions . interestingly , the heart of midlothian was made twice in 1914 ( it was never filmed again : see below ) , as were two other novels that would prove appealing to subsequent filmmakers : the bride of lammermoor and rob roy . [ 8 ] by contrast , between 1915 and the end of the silent era in 1930 scott virtually disappeared from the cinema : only five more films were produced , from three novels ( rob roy , the talisman , and the fair maid of perth ) . [ 9 ] thereafter , to the best of my knowledge not a single scott film was made anywhere in the world between 1930 and the revival of interest in chivalric epic in hollywood during the cold war . this spurred a minor scott revival , but only in rob roy and the handful of medieval swashbucklers : ivanhoe , the talisman , and quentin durward . [ 10 ] scott fared rather better on radio and television . between 1940 and 1974 , the bbc made ten radio serials , [ 11 ] and between 1957 and 1998 , fifteen television serials ( of eleven novels ) appeared . [ 12 ]\nby a strange chance mrs molesworth , one of the greatest writers of the\nchild - novel ,\nwas born in 1839 , the year of the publication of holiday house , the earliest real example of that type of story : following on this it is even stranger to find that in 1844 , the year when the hope of the katzekopfs , the first true\nliterary fairy - story\nappeared , was born andrew lang , whose name is more intimately connected with fairies than that of any other englishman since shakespeare .\none of the greatest all time romantic swashbucklers . one of a trio of medieval films robert taylor did , owing little to history but great entertainment none the less .\nthe chronicles of pantouflia combine two books , the story of prince prigio ( 1889 ) and the adventures of his son , prince ricardo ( 1893 ) ; both antedate the blue fairy book of 1899 , the first in andrew lang ' s great spectrum of anthologies of children ' s stories . but they reveal already an imagination steeped in fairy literature , and adding to that tradition with considerable sophistication . the stories repeatedly take their bearings by literary cross - reference . some of these would be appreciated by children : the king of pantouflia is the grandson of cinderella and includes madame la belle au bois - dormant among his ancestors ; prince prigio is given the whole battery of fairy gifts\u2014seven - league boots , flying carpets , wishing caps and so on . on the other hand prince ricardo is saved by a weapon - salve described by sir kenelm digby , and his tale has elements drawn from scott and ariosto as well as the gawain poet and others ; the tale of the yellow dwarf recounted here awaits its proper placement , anthologized in the blue fairy book six years later . pantouflia , we may assume , is not only a country but , as its name suggests , a state of slippered ease , bookish , witty and even cynical in its handling of the stuff of children ' s fiction .\nfinished !

turn is an amazing film . if you liked lucia , you\u2019ll love this . if you like thriller movies , you\u2019ll love it . if you watch the movie for the message it gives , you\u2019ll give it a standing ovation like they did so in the theatre where i watched this movie . however , the real hero and possibly the villain too is not an actor in this film . it is a real entity , captured brilliantly by pawan . it is the double road flyover in bengaluru city : d\nrajinikanth married latha rangachari , whom he met when she interviewed him for her college magazine . he earned the filmfare award for best tamil actor in 1984 for nallavanuku nallavan . he made an appearance in the american film bloodstone , playing the role of an indian taxi driver .\nin 2005 , rajinikanth signed up for chandramukhi , which fared well at the box office and set the record for the longest - running tamil movie . rajinikanth earned rs 26 crore for his role in sivaji ( 2007 ) making him the second - highest - paid actor in india after jackie chan . rajinikanth partnered with director shankar for the sci - fi film enthiran ( 2010 ) , where he played the dual role of a scientist and a robot , chitti ; this went onto become the second - highest grossing indian film of its time .\nwith rajinikanth\u2019s upcoming film kabali \u2019s teaser shattering all youtube records set by indian movies and garnering a critical reception from audiences , the movie , slated for release this summer , can expect a huge turnout and can hopefully satiate the audiences\u2019 expectations of a blockbuster from the superstar again .\ni am very pleased to say that lately kannada film industry has been giving very good movies and u - turn is one of those . lucia director pawan kumar has taken a very simple , yet socially very important concept , given it a gripping screenplay and directed very beautifully .\nreason : on one side of the screen the phrases on love and life in english with discomforting fonts rarely stops flowing , and at the bottom is the sub - title in english . if that is not enough , the protagonists is half the time busy expressing his philosophy and the other portion is dedicated to the heroine shown with her hair flying , and close up shots of her eye . well , the man who was at least never criticised for selection of actress , has probably failed for the first time . the actress apoorva is not what we all have been seeing in ravichandran ' s film and the other disheartening fact is that the debutant can hardly act .\nperformances in the film are pretty decent , many of them appearing first time on the screen , still they manage to keep the audience engaged without an iota of boredom . the characters are well portrayed but the plot gets diluted when the real face behind the mystery comes into play .\nfilm got negative reviews from critics . renuka vyavahare of the times of india gave the movie 2 out of 5 stars stating that ,\nthe crime drama fails to offer an insight to haseena ' s life\n. [ 16 ] syed firdaus ashraf from urltoken gave the movie 2 . 0 / 5 stars stating that ,\nshraddha kapoor tries hard to rescue the film . shraddha kapoor deglamorizes herself to get into the character and her sincerity as an actress reflects throughout the movie . it has all the ingredients . . . to make it a blockbuster . [ 17 ]\non the face of it you might easily say that there\u2019s nothing new to kapoor & sons . isn\u2019t it the usual , dysfunctional family drama we have seen in countless hollywood films ? but not for a minute does the film feel stale . batra gives a refreshing new voice to an old , tried and tested trope .\napoorva or apurva is the common english spelling of two related indian given names : the feminine \u0905\u092a\u0942\u0930\u094d\u0935\u093e and the masculine \u0905\u092a\u0942\u0930\u094d\u0935 . the masculine name is often spelled apurv or apoorv , as in many modern indo - aryan languages it is pronounced without the vowel at the end , for example in hindi : . in sanskrit and are respectively the masculine and feminine forms of the adjective meaning ' unprecedented ' , ' new ' , ' extraordinary ' .\nand to ensure that the narration of the other story is as strong its counterpart inside , we needed a good voice , and who better to have onboard for that than sudeep ? his bass voice is well - suited to the film and he agreed to be a part of it without asking any questions about it .\nin a kalyan jewellers store , the bachchans are busy trying to find jewellery for their grand daughter . jaya rules out a diamond set for the reception as she thinks a large one wouldn ' t be available at their budget . amidst the banter , amitabh finds a apoorva set and proudly shows off the bride - to - be wearing it . he reveals that it is priced within their budget , at a range of rs 5 to 10 lakh .\njust imitate whatever balachander is doing . what is the relationship between him and me ) sums up the theme of the film . according to naman ramachandran , the character of pandiyan is not entirely negative . pandiyan does not appear as a villain ; in fact , he comes across as a saint . pandiyan commits no villainous act .\nin 2002 , he did a day - long fast to protest the karnataka government\u2019s decision not to release water from the river kaveri into tamil nadu . also in 2008 , he participated in a day - long fast with other tamil film personalities , demanding that the sri lankan government must end to civil war and give sri lankan tamils their rights .\nspeaking at the time , she said : \u201cthey only told me about it before we had to film the scene and i was so angry . i should have called my agent or had my lawyer come to the set because you can\u2019t force someone to do something that isn\u2019t in the script but at the time , i didn\u2019t know that . \u201d\nwhile impressing audiences with his witty humour and unique style , rajinikanth won many accolades along the way . during a period when most directors were ready to cast him as the hero of their film , rajinikanth abruptly chose to quit acting . this sent shockwaves through the entire industry . however , balachander and other close friends convinced him to return to cinema .\nin 2000 , rajinikanth was awarded the padma bhushan by the government of india , in recognition of his achievements in cinema . rajinikanth\u2019s first film to release in the new millennium was baba ( 2002 ) . he wrote the screenplay himself , but the movie failed to meet box office expectations and was a failure . rajinikanth repaid the losses faced by the distributors himself .\napoorva is supposed to be a love story between an older man and a younger woman , in this case 61 and 19 respectively ( the filmmaker even goes to the extent of calling it \u2018a 1961 love story\u2019 ) . the premise of this supposed story is not new at all for we have seen it in films such as ram gopal varma\u2019s nishabd and anant balani\u2019s joggers park . so , when it finally began , one was curious to see how ravichandran would tell or as he mentions in the opening credits , \u2018design\u2019 this story .\nbollywood actress alia bhatt was born on 15 march 1993 , she is the daughter of filmmaker mahesh bhatt and actress soni razdan . after making her acting debut as a child artist in the 1999 thriller sangharsh , alia played her first leading role in karan johar\u2019s romantic drama student of the year ( 2012 ) , which earned her a nomination for the film fare award for best female debut .\nlast tango in paris tells the story of a man who enters into an anonymous affair after his wife takes her own life . it shocked audiences on its release in the early 1970s due to its graphic depictions of sex and rape , and remains controversial today . long after the film was made many still speculated that the sex scenes were real but schneider later confirmed this was not the case .\nthe film became noted for being the onscreen debut of rajinikanth , who went on to become one of tamil cinema ' s most successful actors . during his stay at the film chamber institute in chennai , rajinikanth , then known by his real name , shivaji rao gaekwad , was performing in a stage play and attracted the attention of balachander . at the auditions , gaekwad imitated sivaji ganesan to prove his mettle to balachander , but balachander wanted gaekwad to have an identity of his own and to perform without imitating the mannerisms of another person . two days later , when gaekwad was called again for a second audition , he took a cigar in his hand and threw it stylishly into his mouth , which impressed balachander as he had not seen such unique mannerisms in any other actor that he came across since then .\nno songs but the background score of poornachandra tejaswi is excellent . it is definitely the best kannada movie of this year and just shows how well kannada film industry is progressing . last year , we had some outstanding films like rangitaranga , aatagara , kendasampige , and uppi 2 . this year , we have had thithi and now u - turn . godhi banna saadharana maykattu also looks promising and i\u2019m looking forward to it .\nwhen the matter was taken to the madras high court , it did not accept dasan ' s contention for the script , hence handing the rights to balachander . duraisamy produced the film under their production banner , kalakendra films . b . lokanath was chosen as the cinematographer and n . kittu as the editor , while ramasamy was chosen as the art director . recalling her experience in an interview with shobha warrier of rediff in may 2 .\n\u2022 in 2014 , rajinikanth got the stay from the madras high court to stop the release of bollywood film ' main hoon rajinikanth . ' later , the name of the film was changed to ' main hoon part - time killer . ' \u2022 in 2015 , the madras high court issued a notice to rajinikanth , on a plea by a financier to take action against the director , kasthuri raja , father of the dhanush . the financier also claimed that he gave money to kasthuri raja after he had used rajinikanth ' s name . he wanted rajinikanth to ' initiate action against his relative for misusing his name without his consent . ' \u2022 in 2017 , lyca productions announced that rajinikanth will unveil a housing scheme by its charity wing ' gnanam foundation ' for displaced tamils in jaffna , sri lanka . after this announcement , the pro - tamil protested against rajinikanth ' s visit .\nthe trouble with \u2018whodunit\u2019 mysteries is that they build up to a reveal which may not meet viewer expectations . \u2018that\u2019s it ? \u2019 could be our reaction to the alleged twists . the unconvincing and stilted disclosure or answer drastically reduces the possibility of repeat viewings . kannada filmmaker pawan kumar\u2019s second feature film u - turn suffers from a similar problem . he devises a good , puzzling journey , only to flood it with twists that are uninteresting and generic .\nthe film moves at quite a brisk pace in the first half , where the masterful director pavan kumar of lucia fame unravels the plot in an intriguing manner . there are no unwanted scenes or songs , and the screenplay is gripping and taut . shraddha srinath and roger narayan ( remember hola venky ! ) have pulled off marvelous performances and will keep you on the edge of your seats . the wonderful bgm by poornachandra tejasvi complements the narrative exceptionally well .\nvarun dhawan ( born 24 april 1987 ) is an indian actor who appears in hindi films . varun dhawan height is 5 feet 9 inches ( 1 . 73 metres ) . he is the son of film director david dhawan . varun dhawan studied business management from the nottingham trent university after which he worked as an assistant director to karan johar for 2010 released drama movie my name is khan . dhawan made his acting debut with johar\u2019s 2012 romantic comedy student of the year .\nthe first person to discover his inherent flair for acting was k . balachander , an indian director working primarily in the tamil industry . however , balachander wasn\u2019t impressed with rajinikanth\u2019s acting prowess right away . at their first meeting , when rajinikanth auditioned , he delivered some of sivaji ganesan\u2019s dialogues and copied his mannerisms . unfortunately , balachander rejected him and advised him to develop a style of his own and to learn tamil . the next time they met , balachander , convinced of rajinikanth\u2019s acting skills , gave him a small role in his upcoming film .\nback to apoorva , it all starts with the typical one man show , trying to connect with the audience in his own manner . as usual , after yet another innovative show of title cards , a literal never saga of philosophy on love and life starts unfolding . a short and simple love story of a 61 year old man and a 19 year old girl is the crux , to which he knots it with a terrorist angle . however , it is not so simple as it sounds , or even to watch it . it literally requires a brain with high end eyes and a fair bit of english knowledge . his huge fan base , who only knows the language of love and who cannot follow english , are sure for a huge disappointment .\nthough he thought of completing the film early , it took two and half years to finish ! it is a re - recording that consumed most of the time , he points out . similarly , when his friends approved the seventh version of the script , he kept on revising it , before \u201cokaying\u201d the 19th draft . attributing the delay to his intention to draw the audience in to the theatre , he says , \u201ci did not want to repeat the mistake committed during release of ekangi , which was understood by the audience after several shows . \u201d\ncontents [ hide ] 1 cast 2 production 2 . 1 filming 3 soundtrack 3 . 1 track listing 4 references 5 external links cast [ edit ] ajay devgan sayesha saigal erika kaar abigail eames [ 4 ] vir das [ 5 ] girish karnad saurabh shukla [ 6 ] bijou thaangjam [ 7 ] production [ edit ] filming [ edit ] the shooting of the film started in november 2014 , the major part of movie shot in mussoorie , .

[ 9 ] [ 10 ] [ 11 ] [ 12 ]\nthe music of the film is composed by sachin\u2013jigar while the lyrics have been penned by priya saraiya , vayu and kirthi shetty . its first song of the film titled as\ntere bina\nsung by arijit singh and priya saraiya was released on 29 august 2017 . the soundtrack was released on 8 september 2017 . the first song of the movie ,\ntere bina\nwas launched on 29 august 2017 and audio and lyrical version of the song were released on 07 september 2017 and 10 september 2017 respectively . the second song of the movie ,\nbantai\nwas launched on 08 september 2017 and its lyrical version was released on 14 september 2017 . the third song of the movie ,\npiya aa\nwas launched on 15 september 2017 and its audio and lyrical version was released on 19 september 2017 and 29 september 2017 respectively . the soundtrack album was released under the banner of saregama music . haseena parkar music got mixed reviews from the critics . news18 india and musicaloud gave the music 3 out of 5 stars and koimoi gave the music 2 out of 5 stars . however , bollywood hungama gave the music 1 . 5 out of 5 stars .\nkapoor and shah bicker brilliantly and with great dignity at that . khan is expectedly charming and delightfully at ease with his personable self . he seems to just inhabit his scenes than acting them out . even though it\u2019s a tad hard to imagine malhotra as a budding novelist he holds his own with his solid presence and vulnerable glances . it\u2019s aalia bhatt who seems to be playing her usual hyper , ditzy , little sunshine girl act yet again . what disappointed me most was rishi kapoor with the terrible prosthetics ( why couldn\u2019t another older actor have been cast in the role ) and loud presence , perhaps in tune with his character but totally out of sync with the rest of the mellow , subtle tenor of the film .\nrajinikanth , as we know him now , was born on 12 december 1950 , in a marathi family , the youngest of four siblings . named after marathi king chhatrapthi shivaji , rajinikanth had to take on odd jobs like carpentry and as a coolie , from an early age , to ensure his family could afford three meals a day . while supporting his family , rajinikanth nurtured his acting talent by participating in several school plays . one notable role he played was that of duryodhana in kurukshetra . later , when he was working as a bus conductor for the bangalore transport service ( bts ) , he felt drawn to the stage again and began acting in kannada plays . rajinikanth joined the madras film institute in 1973 to pursue a diploma in acting .\nthe busy screenplay reminds one a lot of piku : the frenzied frames , the hyper characters , the constant motion in the sequences . like piku it is yet another film that has been brilliantly crafted and mapped out in terms of the writing , how the scenes slowly get built up towards a crescendo . it\u2019s an onion peel narrative in which the relationships , revelations , secrets and lies , unfinished confidences , unresolved issues , betrayals and conflicts are unspooled layer by layer . little hints are thrown here and there , that eventually accumulate to lead on to outbursts . the simple , conversational exchanges and the repartee are the other high points as is the acting : how the actors play off against each other with pitch perfect timing . there is something very finely calibrated and nicely measured about the entire package that is kapoor & sons . what\u2019s more it\u2019s delightfully engaging despite being rooted in the everyday , the banal and the seemingly trite . even fixing a fuse with a wooden stick becomes a delightful scene in batra\u2019s hands .\narguments , conflicts and clashes normally don\u2019t make for a pleasant viewing . shakun batra\u2019s kapoor & sons , however , keeps you riveted as you move from one family fight to another\u2014from the dining table to the kitchen to the bathroom , the lawn and the party , from the husband - wife to the brothers . at times two brawls run parallel , or they spark off each other . even at its most ugly and shrill the film stays so real and believable that what you see on screen feels like your very own family war zone , a bitter - sweet slice of your own life . even as a silent spectator you get planted in the action and become a participant . so at one level there is the sense of indulgence and affection towards the characters who could well have been your own granddad , father , mother , uncle or brother , at another it is also a curiously therapeutic experience where you step out of the theatre having come to terms with at least a few of your own demons , if not entirely exorcised all the ghosts .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 / / en\nurltoken\nwe have sent you a verification email . to verify , just follow the link in the message\nwhen it comes to love , there are no questions or reasons . that is the rule of love .\netimes is an entertainment , tv & lifestyle industry ' s promotional website and carries advertorials and native advertising .\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 bennett , coleman & co . ltd . all rights reserved .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nthe\nmost anticipated indian movies and shows\nwidget tracks the real -

threatening medical situation in the middle of the film , introducing soap opera atmosphere to an otherwise hardened feature . miike shows difficulty managing the speeds of drama , which ends up destroying the natural pace of the picture .\ncrows zeros\nhas a tendency to be all over the place with its characterizations , suffocating what appear to be sincere asides with troubled personalities .\nthe many characters and subplots , including genji\u2019s tempestuous romance with a punk -

free approach in the director\u2019s chair often results in sleek , idiosyncratic products which epitomize the concept of style over substance . however , in crows zero 2 , there isn\u2019t much originality past the manga setting and its over -

ridden suzuran all - boys high school with one goal in mind : unite the school ' s many , warring gangs under one banner , and prove to his father that he can handle the family business . unfortunately , he has some competition in the form of serizawa tamao , a gang leader also known as\nking of the beasts .\n~ cammila albertson , rovi\nin the sequel , \u201ccrows zero ii , \u201d again directed by miike , the boys from suzuran are back , but this time they have a new rival , the white -

cut without losing a sense of what is happening .\ni must admit , being american and from massachusetts of all places , i didn ' t get to catch wind of the\ncrows\nmythology until i was walking around one of the local malls and saw the dvd on the rack . something about how oguri and yamada , just stood out and i dropped the twenty bucks , cuz hey , i ' d spent twenty dollars on far worse things . so i take this dvd home , pop it in and now nothing else i own really matters . i ' v even been able to master the diologue in the movie in both english and japanese , lol . i am anxiously awaited crows zero 2 , so much so that i fear i may have to pull a takiya and start kicking the crap out of random ppl in the halls of my school . god i love japan .\nurltoken crows zero -

range encounter on that day . all informed crows remained informed , and could therefore act as potential spreaders , for the rest of the day . at the end of the day , informed crows were listed . in subsequent runs , each crow in turn was chosen as the \u2018seed ' for the daily information flow , which again could only occur during the observed encounters between crows on the chosen day . to measure simulated information spread during a day , we counted the number of seeds from which each crow could have received information ( that is , its \u2018indomain ' ) , which gives similar counts to the \u2018outdomain ' , the number of crows ultimately informed by each seed . as information transfer was modelled stochastically ( see methods ) , we repeated the simulation 1 , 000 times for each seed on each day .\ncrows zero is a manga adaptation about factions of students fighting for control of a japanese high school . not exactly a new idea , as every other anime and manga is about that very subject . but that ' s not what made crows so uninteresting to me , i ' ve previously enjoyed many movies and shows with similar plots . my issues with the movie were that i never felt any connection to the characters , and couldn ' t care less about what happened to them . add that to the unremarkable fight scenes , and you ' ve got a recipe for\nmeh\n. i did appreciate the sporadic humor , but that quickly ( and unfortunately ) faded away as the movie progressed . die - hard fans of the manga may want to check this out , but i can ' t recommend that anyone else go out of their way to see it . if you want to see high school students beating each other to a pulp , there are much better ( and more exciting ) options .\nso when outsiders complain of a toxic culture in video gaming , movie or comic book fandom , i agree , but not because of the usual suspects . i think of the zero - sum mentality that makes everything in the subject into a horse race . hell , we ran a recap of a single episode of the walking dead today that ended with a winners and losers roundup , after all .\n) is the average , over all possible crow dyads , of the daily duration of encounters , computed as the average of the off - diagonal elements of d . encounter durations among crows in the southern community were substantially longer than in the northern one on average ; therefore , for the purposes of visualization (\ncrows zero\nis actually a prequel to takahashi ' s original work , with the production looking to create an origin story for the misfits before their adventures take to the page . keeping with the insider feel of the production , miike ( who ' s worked in the field before , most notably with 2001 ' s\nichi the killer\n) and screenwriter shogo muto build an immediate intimacy with the characters , casually establishing these corrosive personalities in the scattered opening act of the movie . to those unsure of the dance steps ,\ncrows zero\nisn ' t impossible to follow , but it takes a certain frequency of fandom to correctly tune in to the double - crosses , plans of revenge , and haunted interpersonal relationships that make up the majority of the picture . miike keeps the effort clouded with hazy backstories and intentions , forming a bizarre mix of hostility , slapstick comedy , and melodrama - - a nuanced brew created primarily for those who ' ve already developed a taste for the material and the director . simplicity isn ' t essential when approaching this community of gangsters and hallway bruisers , but there ' s no entry point for the casual viewer , rendering the film specialized product for a specialized audience . while there ' s nothing inherently wrong with that approach , it dilutes the fun for those on the other side of the fence wishing they could join the wild party miike is throwing with his gifted ensemble ."]}

of - its - kind initiative , i agreed . the journey of bringing dhruva to life in hindi has been as exciting and exhilarating as portraying any of my characters on the big screen .\nin a candid interview to mirror last week , ace tamil film - maker gautham menon said his ambitious flick dhruva natchathiram starring suriya might not happen at all . looks like the director , who is not on talking terms with the actor , has moved on and has offered the flick now to vikram , who has bounced back with shankar ' s blockbuster i .\nyes , it is true that gautham is in discussion with vikram to revive dhruva natchathiram . the director has already narrated the script to vikram and he has liked it . it may need a bit of fine - tuning though . if everything works out well , the movie may go on floors later this year ,\na highly placed source privy to the development told mirror .\ngautham ' s yennai arindhaal has raked in good collections and is on its way to become a blockbuster . similarly , vikram\u2019s i too made good collections at the box office . if dhruva natchathiram materialises , it will be a big - budget movie and our sources indicate that gautham is looking for a producer , who understands the demands of such a project . at present , he is shooting his new flick with simbu .\ndhruva natchathiram teaser was released on jan 14 , 2017 . teaser was 2 - minute 38 - second clip follows the story of john played by vikram , an undercover agent based in new york . he and his team are involved in a secret operation that is headed by a man named mr k . john and his team spring into action when the bad guys catch hold of mr k , leaving them in the dark .\ndhruva was born a son of the king utt\u0101nap\u0101da ( the son of svayambhuva manu ) and his wife suniti ( or sunrita , the daughter of dharma ) . the king also had another son uttama , born to his second queen suruchi , who was the preferred object of his affection . once , when dhruva was a child of five years of age , he was sitting on his father ' s lap at the king ' s throne . suruchi , who was jealous of the older son from the first wife ( since he - dhruv - would be heir to throne , and not suruchi ' s son ) , forcefully removed dhruv from his father ' s lap . when dhruv protested and asked if he could not be allowed to sit on his father ' s lap , suruchi berated him saying , ' only god can allow you that privilege . go ask him . '\ndhruva is an upcoming action thriller film directed by surender reddy and produced by allu aravind under his banner geetha arts . it features ram charan , rakul preet singh and aravind swamy . it is an official remake of the tamil film thani oruvan ( 2015 ) . the film will feature music by hiphop tamizha , who composed for the tamil original . and cinematography is handled by p . s . vinod . the film was launched on 18 february 2016 and principal photography commenced on 22 february 2016 . the film , initially set for release on 7 october , is scheduled for a worldwide release on 2 december 2016 .\nthe shelving of dhruva natchathiram resulted in an ugly spat between suriya and gautham with the former accusing the latter of delaying the film . apparently , suriya asked for a few changes in the script - - which gautham was not keen to make - - and the delay on part of the director prompted him to walk out of the project . the two , who together have delivered some of the finest films ( like kakkaa kakka and varanam aayiram ) , are unlikely to work together in any project as confided by gautham in his interview to mirror on february 18 . vikram and gautham are raring to go with both of them tasting success with their independent previous ventures .\ni did not watch thani oruvan before dhruva . so mine is an open review ! i give my review only to movies i really loved watching . i don ' t want to waste time to show hatred . talking about dhruva , this movie had impressed me so much that nothing comes close to this in 2016 . the script was excellent and far better than any routine stupid drama movies we see these days . technical brilliance must be appreciated . even though its a remake , the director and actors took it as a challenge and made it a visual feast to the audience . if you didn ' t know the script before - hand , then the tension that was carried out will make you enjoy the thrill you face . so i recommend the people who have not seen tamil version to go to this movie and you will experience great joy . even if you have seen tamil version , this movie is so good to watch & shows its technical superiority . what ' s for the cine goers ( physical & technical aspects ) : ram charan - excellent physique ( he really worked out ) , great acting ( better than his previous films ) , looked extremely stylish rakul preet - ravishing body ( exclusively hot in songs ) & good acting ( the mirror scene - audience really enjoyed the love expression ) director surrender reddy - improved his directional style . i liked racegurram but this one was even better in terms of screenplay & cinematography . aravind swamy - incredible and he looked scary with decent looks . great acting as well . others - navdeep did a great job and other artists did very well in their roles . what not to expect : not a lot of comedy but there are few jokes and the thrill you face makes you forget about the comedy . so don ' t worry about it . overall : the best movie of this year in telugu ! go for it . demonetization had shown some its effect on the collection otherwise it would have already broken many records considering the strength that the movie has !\ntaking a bit of a ( forced ) break from movie watching right now ! will get back to regularly scheduled programming in a couple of months . the last ones i saw both sucked ( amazing spiderman and baby driver ) . fidaa was overrated af ( ass -

going brahmin girl , bhuvana and they get engaged . bhuvana ' s father , is a straightforward government officer who never got bribe and leads a noble life . saamy and bhuvana meet each other when saamy goes in search of a home for rent to bhuvana ' s home . bhuvana misinterprets saamy and paramasivam as thieves and locks them in a room .\nif u like pls subscribe gautham vasudev menon ( born 25 february 1973 ) , more commonly known as gautham menon , is an indian film director and producer , who predominantly works in tamil cinema . many of his films have been critically acclaimed , most notably his semi -

canon .\nthe courtroom scenes , intended as the climax of the film , must be seen to be believed . the fate of the gere character swings back and forth , complicated because he would rather be convicted of a crime in his new identity than found innocent in his old one . the truth is manifestly clear to everyone in the courtroom , and the judge ( james earl jones ) should declare a mistrial instead of allowing the plot to creak to its melodramatic conclusion .\nanother historical inaccuracy in the film concerns its portrayal of the leader of the unamir mission . in hotel rwanda , he is colonel oliver , a fictional character based on lieutenant general romeo dallaire . to see dallaire ' s version of events as well as his struggle and work after the genocide , we suggest reading shake hands with the devil or watching the documentary based off the book and his experiences .\n1 . at the beginning of the film , paul places far greater value on protecting his family than protecting his neighbors . but as the film progresses his sense of obligation to his neighbors and his countrymen deepens . indeed , rather than abandon the refugees he is sheltering , he sends his family to safety while he stays behind . is his decision the morally right one ? in making decisions , how much weight should one give to the welfare of one ' s family compared to the welfare of one ' s neighbors ? how much weight should governments give to the welfare of foreign peoples compared to that of their own citizens ?\n4 . the film shows that there was a close relationship between the french and hutu governments , even while the killings were going on . on the tenth anniversary of the genocide , rwanda ' s president accused the french of consciously training and arming the hutus , knowing that they would massacre tutsis . the french deny this , yet it is indisputable that france was the rwandan government ' s number - one supplier of weapons . does this fact alone make france more culpable for the genocide than the rest of the international community ? how should responsibility be allocated for what happened , both inside and outside rwanda ?\nkids all over the world and all through time want to rebel . peter muller ( robert sean leonard ) and thomas berger ( christian bale ) are two such young men whose rebellion against the conformity of nazi germany took the form of a love of american swing music , british fashion , and harlem slang . but when an innocent prank forces peter into the hitler youth , their friendship and their loyalties are put to the test against the seductive power of nazism .\nin nazi germany , the youth of the nation were pressed into joining the pro -

hour - long compilation of thousands of film and tv clips , will offer remembrances of hollywood matinees past . his mash - up , sampled from across all film and tv genres , and spanning many cultures and eras , consists almost entirely of images and dialogue that depict or allude to the passage of time : close - ups of wristwatches , dramatic shots of big ben , pans of clock faces in grand central station , images of train timetables and airline departure schedules , and countless sequences of people waiting around or rushing off to fateful rendezvous .\nrunning gag : throughout most of the film , han keeps demanding that frank return his private plane after he steals it .\nhe showed me some \u201cdrafts . \u201d putting on black spectacles , he loaded final cut pro . film clips were\nan assemblage of time -

( notice how this short circuiting takes place while you\u2019re slowly synching up your internal clock with the onscreen clock . )\nclock time is intrinsically associated with labour , work time . this is steven shaviro speaking about tehching hsieh \u2018s one -

serious sci - fi is much closer in spirit to the film 2010 , an oddly endearing bad sequel which tries hard to crush everything interesting about 2001 with retroactive coherence . 2010 explains , in numbing detail , why hal went crazy \u2014 it wasn\u2019t his fault , and the once - mad computer nobly sacrifices itself to save humanity . literally , all humanity : by the end of 2010 , the u . s . and the ussr are at a state of high tension , and the threat of nuclear war looms large . the monoliths , previously an unknowable outside force , reveal themselves as helpful parental figures . they transform jupiter into a star , which makes the moon europa into a new vibrant planet . back home on earth , the americans and the soviets see two suns in the sky \u2013 and declare general peace .\n, artistic director of pages unbound , film critic for classical 96 . 3 fm and an adjunct professor at ryerson university .\nmarclay and his team cleverly appropriate the working methods of post - production experts on a film crew . the clock is brilliantly edited : scenes have been chosen by marclay for maximum effect and cut with great delicacy , both in each \u201dintro\u201d to a scene and its \u201cextro . \u201d the punch line\u2014where\u2019s the clock ? \u2014is used very well , and when there is no clock , marclay and crew have devised montage sequences of people running upstairs or through a crowd\u2014cut / cut / cut\u2014to a final point when a timepiece does make an appearance .\n( 2010 ) is a unique and compelling work created by world - renowned sound and video artist christian marclay . the work is an ode to time and cinema , and is comprised of thousands of fragments from a vast range of films that create a 24 - hour , looped , single - channel video . marclay compiled thousands of film clips of wristwatches , clock towers , sundials , alarm clocks , and countdowns , each of which illustrate every minute in a 24 - hour period .\nit\u2019s obvious , of course , where this film is going , but the unpromising - looking vehicle proved an unexpected pleasure to travel in .\nusually , when a movie\u2019s good enough , the audience loses track of the time . the clock invites viewers to zone out , but constantly reminds them exactly what time it is . drowning in the current of scenes and events , it\u2019s easy to forget about many things , but time is not one of them . \u201c the clock really is a clock , \u201d breitweiser , the curator , told me . \u201ceveryone is watching the time go by . \u201d\nin the film , cobb pulled a\nmr . charles\non fischer due to the time constraints . what exactly is\nmr . charles\n?\nthis summer the city that never sleeps will have another glimpse of an artwork that doesn\u2019t relent much either : \u201cthe clock , \u201d a spellbinding , time -

hour - long meditation on the nature and artifice of time ,\nthe clock\nconsists of thousands of film ( and to a lesser degree , television ) clips that feature clocks , watches and other timepieces , edited together so that the time you see on screen reflects the current time .\nbeginning december 21 , the museum will provide updates on visiting the clock , including live updates on the queue , via urltoken and moma\u2019s twitter account , @ museummodernart .\nlead corporate support for christian marclay : the clock is provided by the charles schwab corporation . additional support for the exhibition is provided by lionel conacher and joan dea .\nbut individual donors also stepped forward to fund particular artworks that moved them . with marclay ' s \u201cthe clock , \u201d hollywood film producer and new york giants chairman steve tisch , who became a lacma trustee last year , pledged the $ 467 , 500 needed to buy the work before voting began .\n' the clock ' is at the power plant in toronto until november 25 , and at moma , new york , from december 21 until january 21 .\nprecision f - strike : cooper gets one towards the end , especially noticeable as there honestly isn ' t much swearing in the film up until that point .\nthe film on the waterfront ( 1954 ) was partially intended as director elia kazan and writer budd schulberg ' s justification for cooperating with huac . the film ' s hero , played by marlon brando , wrestles with the question of whether to tell the police the names of the criminals operating on the docks , eventually determining that it would be immoral not to do so .\nthe black hole ' s complex appearance in the film is due to the image of the accretion disc being warped by gravitational lensing into two images : one looping over the black hole and the other under it .\nit never really did , although the film ' s cult status has arguably grown in the last 10 years : as he has become more elusive , so forsyth ' s legend has fortified . there was a palpable thrill in the air when the film ' s leads \u2013 sinclair , grogan , robert buchanan and dee hepburn \u2013 posed for photographs at the glasgow film theatre on sunday , together again for the first time since they made the film . but there was also something bittersweet about watching this frozen elegy for youthful innocence and optimism in a room with its now forty - something stars , a heart - jolting reminder that even daft , dreamy wee boys who have to be home by 11 o ' clock grow into older , wiser , more melancholy men .\nthus film and television history is co - opted into a promiscuously goofy hellzapoppin\u2019 - esque collage . but the clock is also a film of considerable philosophical density . it invites us to examine the way time \u2013 or the effect of time \u2013 is created and structured in film . we become aware of different intensities of film time . there are moments of heightened tension ( \u2018hot\u2019 time , you might say ) in which events happen , or are keenly anticipated : notably the run - up to midday , a moment awaited in the clock by a heteroclite mob including moritz bleibtreu , gene hackman and , of course , gary cooper in high noon . then there are the slow , seemingly vacant moments \u2013 \u2018cool\u2019 time \u2013 in which characters lounge around or emerge from late slumber ( 3pm , we learn , is a prime waking hour for artists and drunks ) . we too become acutely aware of time in the outside world ; emerging from the clock , you can expect your sense of the passing minutes to be curiously heightened for a good hour or so .\nsanjay suri served as a jury member at mami festival , 2012 ( mumbai academy of moving images ) and as muhr arab feature jury at the ( diff ) dubai international film festival , 2013 . onir served as a jury member for selection of india\u2019s entry for foreign film category at the oscars .\nwhen he finally saw the finished product at the 1981 london film festival , however , sinclair was\nmortified\n. he thought he looked terrible and gangly ( it suddenly dawned on him why forsyth had\nmade me exaggerate all those stretches and lunges when he was filming me exercising\n) , and he feared his performance\nruined the film\n. grogan was a little more level - headed , recognising the film ' s charms , and its\nsmart , progressive view of a girl ' s world\n. but even after the film was greeted rapturously , all involved thought the fuss would soon die down .\n17 ) the production costs came in at $ 2 , 777 , 000 \u2013 a vast sum for the time . on initial release , the film only earned $ 3m .\nthere is still a process of editing involved \u2013 many of the film clips are leftovers from the gargantuan catalogue that he and his assistants formed whilst working on the clock . it begins with a silent loop showing a disembodied hand , index finger tapping the velvet pile of a curtain , over and over . this is typical marclay \u2013 his eye for banal visual oddities was the making of the clock , and indeed all his other video works , which are photographic in a way .\nincredibly obvious bomb : marvin drives the secret service in the direction he wants by charging towards them while strapped with dynamite and a ridiculously large micky mouse clock .\nrt @ cairoscene : our resident film critic and cinephile @ waelkhairy88 gives his # oscar2016 predictions . brace yourself leo . urltoken 2 years ago\nbut that interpretation is only obvious if you know the film ' s background , and even then it ' s not inescapable . none of the contemporary reviews i can find describe the film as having any political component at all . ( here is the new york times review , which does allude to the question of whom to credit for the film ' s excellence ; here is variety ' s review . ) in the book showdown at high noon : witch - hunts , critics , and the end of the western , jeremy byman writes :\nmany non - astronomers also engaged with astronomy during the international year of astronomy 2009 ( iya2009 ) , the largest education and public outreach event in science . the iya2009 reached upwards of eight hundred million people , through thousands of activities , in more than 148 countries ( iau , 2010 ) .\nsome ten thousand clips were collected for marclay\u2019s video . \u201cputting the clips back into real time , \u201d he said , exposed \u201chow film is constructed . \u201d\nmarclay\u2019s monstrous creation needed a title . he thought of a few of his usual puns : \u201ctime piece , \u201d \u201cclock work . \u201d then he and burnett discussed the matter , and decided that the work was too grand to be trivialized with wordplay . better , marclay decided , to call it \u201cthe clock . \u201d\nthis precision yields several extraordinary effects , some of which may be fully evident only to a hypothetical viewer watching the film in its 24 - hour entirety . ( there have been 24 - hour screenings , but to marclay\u2019s knowledge , the longest stint by any viewer has been eight hours . ) one effect is a strangely addictive , mesmeric quality ; the first time i visited the clock , two hours slipped by like a breath . as happens when you watch any involving film , you lose your immediate sense of duration , and yet \u2013 here\u2019s the wonderful paradox \u2013 the clock constantly reminds you of the exact time . your watching time is metered by the piece itself .\none of the visual pleasures of the clock is that marclay and his team took a euro - centric approach to their film materials . while there are plenty of clips with bette davis and other hollywood notables , the viewer is offered a pleasing variety of films from germany and france\u2014with no subtitles ! \u2014and england . we\u2019re likely to be transported in film clips from berlin during the cold war to post - blitz - bombed london to an antic parisian nightclub\u2014and then to a hollywood studio .\nsince it premiered at their mason\u2019s yard site in 2010 , the work has been showing almost continuously : in new york , yokohama , jerusalem , plymouth , venice , los angeles , sydney , boston , paris , and zurich . it\u2019s about to open in toronto , but for the first time , marclay isn\u2019t going . having rigorously attended its every installation , he decided to step back and let assistant paul anton smith take over . \u201cit had stopped me from doing other things\u201d he says . \u201ci had a couple of small shows but it was the clock and still the clock and the swiss guy who made the clock \u2013 ha ha\u201d he says wearily . \u201cat last it\u2019s taking on a life of its own and freeing me to focus on other things . \u201d\n2 . anxiety the clock references the cinematic past through the recycling of known films . as viewers , we look for anchor points or moments of identification in the montage of clocks appearing before us . for cinephiles , to identify a known actor or the film from which the fragment of time is detached is to locate oneself as an informed viewer in a structure of familiar territory . as comforting as this is , the linear structure of the work and the rapid exchange of one temporal reference by another reminds one that time never stops . expectation comes to propel the film forward from one clip to another . the expectation is that a reference to time will be found embedded in the next clip . a \u2018where\u2019s waldo\u2019 of time ensues as we are conditioned by the film to look for clocks . finding the temporal signifier resolves the expectation but this resolution is short - lived , replaced immediately with the expectation that the next scene will provide another image of time . viewers are kept continually in a state of perpetual and anxious receptivity . the film\u2019s oscillation between anticipation and resolution burns out the continuous punctuality of our attention span . the clock is relentless .\n44 ) lux radio theater broadcast a 60 - minute cbs radio adaptation of the movie on christmas day 1950 with judy garland reprising her film role as dorothy .\n49 ) the film won two oscars for best original score and best original song , and was nominated for best art direction , best cinematography and best effects ."]}

( don ' t they all do that at some point ? )\nthe problem i have with this is that i don ' t believe that every high school senior is out there having sex , is ready to have sex or needs to feel that 17 or 18 is the appropriate age to have sex because he or she saw it on prime - time tv .\ngo ahead and flame me , all you parents who justify your lack of parenting with lame lines like\nall the kids are doing it .\nhere ' s a news flash : they aren ' t . and maybe yours wouldn ' t be either if you had taught them about responsibility and consequences and not gone belly - up on doing your job .\naccording to the guttmacher institute , only 13 percent of teens have had sex by age 15 and 30 percent - - of both male and female teens - - still haven ' t had intercourse by the time they turn 19 . let me say it again : not everybody is doing it .\nthe institute found that teens are waiting longer to have sex than they did in the past . from 2006 to 2008 , about 11 percent of unmarried females aged 15 to 19 and 14 percent of unmarried males that age had had sex before they were 15 years old , while in 1995 , those percentages were 19 percent and 21 percent , respectively . read that : not only isn ' t everybody doing it , more kids nowadays are not .\nbut those teens who do have sex may face serious consequences . the guttmacher institute reports that each year , 750 , 000 teenage girls between 15 and 19 in the u . s . get pregnant . in 2008 , those between 13 and 24 years old comprised 17 percent of people diagnosed with hiv / aids in the u . s . the institute also reports that while\n15 - 24 - year - olds represent only one - quarter of the sexually active population , they account for nearly half ( 9 . 1 million ) of the 18 . 9 million new cases of stis each year .\nthese numbers reveal that some sexually active teens are taking serious risks , making responsible coverage of the issue even more important .\nbut numbers aside , there is a larger issue : the emotional land mines that sexual intercourse plants . seventeen - year - olds may be physically ready to have intercourse , but emotionally they are far from being able to handle it . unless you depersonalize sex and turn it into a sport for physical release - - in which case , may i suggest you just buy a vibrator and avoid the risk of hiv and pregnancy - - intercourse is something more , something bigger . it ' s an intimate expression of love between two people , not something you do just to feel good . fundamentalists might go a step further and say it ' s something you do to procreate ; that ' s their view , not mine . but i do believe that the intensity of pleasure that comes from having sex should be followed by something more than\ni have to go home now because i have a science test tomorrow and dad gave me a 10 p . m . curfew .\ni ' m not saying that sex outside marriage is a bad thing ; i actually don ' t think it is . but i do think sex involving high school seniors is a path to emotional letdown , disappointment and a self - esteem battering similar to tossing christians to the lions .\nfirst - person essays , features , interviews and q & as ; about life today .\nhayden christensen stars as lorenzo de lamberti , a ne ' er - do - well swashbuckler pining for the hand ( and flower ) of pampinea , played by mischa barton . on the run from pampinea ' s other suitor ( played by tim roth ) , lozenzo takes refuge in a convent , where the nuns are anxious to be filled with something other than the holy spirit . this action / sex comedy is written and directed by david leland .\nwhile not great , the 16x9 anamorphic widescreen presentation manages to deliver satisfactorily enough to make for a pleasant viewing experience . colors are drab and uninspired , but the framerate holds up well\nlanguages and audio the dolby 5 . 1 surround mix is somewhat flat and could likely have passed for a good stereo mix . rear speaker and subwoofer are almost nonexistent , but the center speaker holds up well and delivers the goods .\nwhats with that cover ?

dramatic ) direction and the coveted golden sheaf of excellence award for the top film of 2004 ) .\nhardwood\nwas also part of last year ' s official selection at the infact film series in los angeles .\ndavis\u2019s first film , hardwood , was nominated for an academy award for best short documentary . he received the don haig award at the hot docs festival for invisible city . davis also directed the short film aruba , the 2016 doc giants of africa and most recently the documentary short rivolta .\na film about the director ' s relationship with his father who was a team member of the harlem globetrotters .\nthe film also features never - seen - before dramatic archival material discovered in private and public archives in israel and europe .\nhardwood became a reality for me in 2000 when i read hubert ' s first funding proposal . it was seven oversized pages , each with a black and white photo or two and a few lines written beneath , describing the film . hubert ' s proposal was simple , elegant and poignant , so reflective of his completed film . all through the process of making\nhardwood ,\nhubert kept me involved . he asked me for feedback on what he wrote , got me to set up shoots in vancouver and chicago and research archival footage , and then he sent me rough cuts as he went through the process of editing\nhardwood .\nas a retired documentary filmmaker , i was deeply honored my son asked me to work on his first film .\ncurrently on tour throughout the us with the film , brody explained how the unrehearsed words he spoke from the heart upon beating the soviets are about much more than just basketball . his \u201con the map\u201d phrase entered the israeli vernacular because it resonated far beyond the hardwood court .\nhardwood began as an opportunity for me to support my brother hubert in his dream of becoming a filmmaker . the\nhardwood experience ,\nas i have now begun to affectionately describe the process of participating in the making and showing of hardwood , has been therapeutic and enlightening . as i contemplated organizing public showings of hardwood in atlanta , a close friend and mentor told me that\nour people ( black ) need this ; if one person decides to reconnect with their family , then sharing your family ' s story will be worth it .\nhe was right !\nread the full text of the poem \u00bb he shares in the film ,\nthere are some things i had to figure out .\n\u2018the film reflects a period of history that is still with so many israelis as they go to sleep and wake up every day . it\u2019s something they tell their kids and grandkids about\u2019\nas a human and civil rights activist for over a decade i have never experienced more\nintimate public discussions\nthan the ones that hubert and i engaged in after we premiered hardwood in atlanta community settings . sons , mothers , fathers and daughters openly cried in describing how they\nneeded this\nbecause now they can talk about what has happened in their own families . there is a universal message that hardwood offers to families of all races . but in a time when 70 percent of african - american children are born out of wedlock , and are twice as likely as white children to experience divorce , hardwood can become a powerful tool in the process of reconnecting and repairing our communities , family by family .\nwhile the surprise 1977 victory and brody\u2019s remarks are legendary among israelis of all ages , this astounding sporting accomplishment is little known across the atlantic . menkin , a lifelong maccabi tel aviv fan , decided it was time that americans became familiar with this miracle on hardwood .\nmenkin originally made a film about the story for israeli television , but realized after meeting executive producers nancy spielberg and roberta grossman \u2014 the team behind \u201cabove and beyond\u201d \u2014 that there could be a possibility of expanding it into a feature aimed at american audiences .\ni am currently living in toronto with my wife . i have recently completed production on my second short film , a drama called aruba , under the banner of my production company , shine . i also have a documentary in development called the invisible city about racial profiling .\nhardwood is a personal journey by director hubert davis , the son of former harlem globetrotter mel davis , who explores how his father ' s decisions affected his life and those of his extended family . elegantly structured into three chapters entitled\nlove ,\nrecollection\nand\nredemption ,\ndavis uses personal interviews , archival footage and home movies to delve into his father ' s past in the hope of finding a new direction for his own . at its core , hardwood is about the power of redemption and the healing of the bonds between fathers and sons .\nobviously , the highlight of the year was when hardwood was nominated for an academy award in 2005 for best documentary short subject . the best part of the experience was being able to share it with my family , who joined my wife kelly and me on the red carpet . i think the honor of being nominated was very validating for my family in having the courage to tell our story . the whole experience has brought me closer to my family and has given me a better insight into them as people . making hardwood has taught me so much about myself and has been the most rewarding professional experience of my life .\n\u201cthe film reflects a period of history that is still with so many israelis as they go to sleep and wake up every day . it\u2019s something they tell their kids and grandkids about . so much has happened in the world since then , but israel has stood strong throughout , \u201d brody said .\nmenkin is pleased with the release of \u201con the map\u201d just in time for the 40th anniversary of the game - changing championship . but more importantly , he is happy that he was able to get the film done while most of the former players are still able to recount their experiences for the camera .\n\u201cabove and beyond , \u201d is a 2014 film about american and other foreign former wwii airmen who volunteered to fight for israel in the 1948 war of independence and contribute to the nascent israeli air force . menkin saw a parallel in the maccabi team that won the european championship . it consisted mainly of american players recruited to elevate the team\u2019s playing .\nhardwood was presented to me as a request to participate in a project that would help bring closure to our family regarding the past . i was reluctant at first , not eager to relive the events that caused me so much pain and anguish , but i agreed after much urging from my son , mawuli . i hoped that this would finally put the matter to rest .\nin addition to brody , menkin got the full participation of the other surviving american - born members of the 1976 - 1977 maccabi tel aviv team , many of whom played numerous seasons with the team and ended up settling in israel and marrying israeli women . the film also features interviews with israeli former maccabi tel aviv star miki berkovich , former nba commissioner david stern , and american basketball icon bill walton , among others .\nas for me , i recently celebrated my tenth wedding anniversary with my wife , jana , and our two sons kobie ( 7 ) and khari ( 5 ) by renewing our vows on a cruise with family and friends . we now live in atlanta , georgia , where i have my own law practice , mawuli davis & associates . i am currently the co - chair of the atlanta chapter of the national coalition of blacks for reparations in america ( n ' cobra ) and of the state bar of georgia young lawyers division ' s minorities in the profession committee . i have been a youth basketball coach for both of my sons ' basketball teams for the last four years . i am looking forward to continuing to facilitate community discussions about the\nhardwood experience\nwith the hope that every family will find the courage to tell their story , and as hubert states in hardwood ,\nforever change the pattern\nof their lives .\nparticipating in hardwood on a personal level was also rewarding . answering hubert ' s questions as he delved into our past allowed me to go where i hadn ' t been in a very long time \u2014 to the beginning of my relationship with his father , when i was so very young . a time filled with joy and pain . i wanted hubert to know why i made the decisions i did in my life and his sensitive face showed he understood , and that comforted me . it is deeply gratifying now to witness how hubert ' s touching and honest story of our family is inspiring others to re - examine their family ' s relationships .\ni ' m often asked how i feel about my life being exposed in hardwood . my life has always been an open book . friends and family met mel in vancouver in the 60s . they knew i visited him on the road through the years . and everyone knew mel was married when i was pregnant with hubert . mel asked me to have his child and i said yes . it wasn ' t an easy decision to defend . my only regret was hurting mary etta . as the years passed i tried to talk myself out of my relationship with mel , to no avail . mel was my rock . one of the happiest days of my life was the day i married mel , 25 years after i met him .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nbuzzing comedies such as the spy who dumped me await you in our summer movie guide . check in for all the info you need .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nwith jurassic world : fallen kingdom now in cinemas , we take a look at how imdb users rated the films of the franchise . plus , browse exclusive lego\u00ae jurassic world playsets , presented by lego .\nenjoy a night in with these popular movies available to stream now with prime video .\nsvg public\n- / / w3c / / dtd svg 1 . 1 / / en\nurltoken\nmel is my steady companion and best friend now . i support him as he works with young people , teaching them about life through basketball . i visit family and friends . my passion is the natural world around me and i try to spend a few hours of each day just enjoying it . any spare time is divided between working to save a small\nnature\npark in vancouver and writing a book with mary etta exploring our parallel lives with mel .\ni found that , while talking about the events that happened 20 years ago , i was still connected to the past by the present and the future . reliving those years has brought me to an understanding of a history that began long before my failed marriage . in telling the story , i was forced to relive it , reexamine it and experience it from a different perspective . many things i did not know were revealed and the origin of certain behaviors were made understandable .\nif , by telling my story and that of my family \u2014 and i mean my extended family although it ' s not the\ntraditional\nfamily \u2014 perhaps other families can face their past and move ahead to the future .\ni am now a retired public school teacher and catholic school principal , living a life filled with children , grandchildren , volunteerism , church and other activities . i have no regrets about the past , because if it had been any different , i would not be who i am today and i would not have my son and grandchildren . . . my family .\nharry and the hendersons official trailer # 1 -

out days , coz i know i\u2019m not planning to review them anyway , so it really doesn\u2019t matter if my brain\u2019s not all switched on . hot young bloods took me by surprise though . i had so many thoughts after the movie that a review really seemed the only way to get them all out ! xd i think that\u2019s possibly similar to what happened with you when you watched the suspect ! many thoughts together = review in the making !\nmr . sloan joined the bloods when he was 12 , but now considers involvement in gangs \u201cself -

sik and young - sook are hanging out with each other at a bonfire . gwang - sik pushes forth the idea that maybe he and young - sook can start making some progress in their friendship , but she doesn\u2019t seem to like it . he assumes it\u2019s because of another guy who he is willing to hurt so that young - sook will only be his . possessive much ?\ni was expecting kim young kwang to have a more significant role in this movie , but unfortunately he was greatly overshadowed by the two leads , lee jong seok and park bo young . lee jong seok ' s bumbling lover boy character did deliver some laughs , especially when faced with kim young kwang ' s gangster character . but the standout was park bo young - don ' t be fooled by her baby face , she can strike fear in the heart of any man with her punches and vulgarities . quite a transformation from her previous roles .\nrunning turtle director lee yeon - woo is at the helm of a new film which began production earlier this month . blood boiling youth ( literal title ) is a romantic comedy pairing two of korea\u2019s most popular young stars , park bo - young and lee jong - suk .\nbo young is fine . the one that captures my attention is lee jong suk . he was so natural from head to toe : d\nlater on that evening , young - sook ends up joining choong - gil instead of so - hee , causing choong - gil to of course be disappointed . when he reveals that he likes so - hee because she\u2019s beautiful ( implying that he thinks young - sook isn\u2019t ) , she leaves choong - gil at the hotel mad and furious . ( don\u2019t worry young - sook , you\u2019re beautiful to me ! ) .\nthe next day at school , choong - gil\u2019s friend hwang - kyu ( played by park jung min ) is forced to share with young - sook what type of things choong - gil likes and has interest in . she ends up getting choong - gil a pair of new sneakers which he doesn\u2019t approve of and want . when choong - gil confronts young - sook about the shoes , he pretends to act like he doesn\u2019t want it , but when young - sook threatens to take it back , he makes up an excuse to young - sook so that he can keep it . haha . and young - sook knows that choong - gil likes her gift , smirking after he leaves the classroom . hehe .\nthis film is so exciting and i love park bo young and also lee jong suk . . love it to the maxxx . daebakkk ! !\ngang , views young sook as his woman . a new female transfer student from seoul arrives at their high school . she ' s different from the other girls and beautiful . joong gil falls for her instantly , while young sook attempts to prevent the new girl from encroaching on her secret crush . trouble also brews for joong gil as gwang shik becomes aware of young sook stepping in between joong gil and the new transfer student .\ngwang - sik ends up fighting choong - gil\u2019s classmate once the train lands as they are known for being enemies . when the fight ends , choong - gil is about to leave but turns around to find young - sook behind him . he explains to young - sook that he didn\u2019t meet her the night before because he doesn\u2019t have any interest in her like that and because he fears gwang - sik who claims young - sook as his . \u201cthis thing between us is not love . it\u2019s a threat , \u201c choong - gil voices , offending young - sook who clenches her fists .\nactor lee jong - suk and actress park bo - young will be acting together in the film\nboiling youth ,\nlotte entertainment said tuesday .\na new female transfer student ( lee se - young ) from seoul arrives at their high school . she ' s different from the other girls and beautiful . joong - gil falls for her instantly , while young - sook attempts to prevent the new girl from encroaching on her secret crush . trouble also brews for joong - gil as gwang - sik becomes aware of young - sook stepping in between joong - gil and the new transfer student .\nthis is gonna be fuunnnn ! ! ! so excited for this movie . . . park bo young , fighting ! ! ! ! ! ^ ^\na new female transfer student ( lee se - young ) from seoul arrives at their high school . she ' s different from the other girls and beautiful . joong - gil falls for her instantly , while young - sook attempts to prevent the new girl from encroaching on her secret crush . trouble also brews for joong - gil as gwang - sik becomes aware of young - sook stepping in between joong - gil and the new transfer student .\nyou don\u2019t hear this from mr . sloan , who talks more about his banger brother , who went to prison for life , and died young .\nwhen you\u2019re young and discovering the opposite sex , you tend to fixate on . . things , and also tend to be inordinately amused by those things .\nin fact , that whole fight that she had with so hee was something that so hee started . young sook had merely acted in self - defense .\nyoung sook tries to go between them . but than gwang - sik becomes aware that\nhis woman\nis interested in joong - gil . . .\nset in the 80s , a countryside high school teen named , joong - gil , is the biggest heartthrob in town . young - sook , the girlfriend of the school\u2019s toughest bully , has a crush on joong - gil , but he shows her no interest . one day , so - hee , an innocent looking girl , moves into town . young - sook thinks of so - hee as her rival and picks a fight with her . meanwhile , young - sook\u2019s boyfriend suspects ties between young - sook and joong - gil and harasses so - hee , whom joong - gil has a crush on . joo . . .\nhey there jedd ! i am not entirely sure , but i suspect that the girl at the factory was so hee , played by lee se young . \ud83d\ude42\nwe then find young - sook approaching another group of girls from another school as if they\u2019re going to get ready to beat one another up anytime soon . the leaders of each group come to the front of their own groups to confront each other and so you have young - sook marching towards the front and the leader from the other group standing in the front as well . soon they\u2019re face to face with each other but are distracted by the bicycle couple who are still riding away on the bicycle . annoyed , young - sook criticizes the male student\u2019s face which angers the leader from the other group who then throws a punch at young - sook\u2019s face as a consequence for her harsh comment . but young - sook isn\u2019t the leader of her crew for nothing for she attacks the girl back and knocks her out cold just like that ( there goes my park bo young ! keke ) . the two groups end up fighting one another and war breaks out .\nmr . sloan begins with a myth : that gangs like the bloods and the crips started in 1972 , when they formed in response to a dispute over a leather jacket . that\u2019s rubbish . the film shows that gang animosity in los angeles dates to the 1940s and \u201950s , when the police had set up an extortion racket on central avenue to bilk the black music clubs .\nyoung - sook escapes to her village and recalls memories of the past between her and choong - gil . they were childhood friends and classmates when they were younger so that\u2019s how they know each other . young - sook remembers the one time when choong - gil gave her his compass so that she wouldn\u2019t get in trouble for not having hers . he ends up getting in trouble for not having his compass later on at school that day , but he remains strong and reassures young - sook that he is fine .\ni absolutely love this movie and the fights were very good ! also jun soo jin looked super sexy and looked like a real bad girl i would love to see her in action movies . * spoiler * i loved the fact that joong gil ( lee jong suk ) could never really stand up to gwang sik ( young - kwang ) even when he wanted to fight him because of so hee ( se - young ) he tried but was still a wimp about it and did nothing but when it came to young sook ( park bo young ) he was able to actually fight without fear . i think that part is very meaningful because it showed how much she really meant to him .\na radio dj / entertainer in his 30s suddenly learns he may be a grandfather , thanks to a young girl who has a baby son and claims to be his daughter .\nall the students exiting off the train walks past the three friends , including the girl teacher that choong - gil landed on as well as young - sook and her sidekick .\nboth joong gil and young sook needed to sort out their inner turmoil and figure out who they were as people , before they were ready to come together as a couple .\neven when joong gil was chasing every other girl around , i believe that young sook knew \u2013 or at least , wanted to believe \u2013 that he was made of better stuff .\nthanks azure , i\u2019m glad you enjoyed the movie , and this review ! \ud83d\ude42 i really enjoy lee jong suk and park bo young as well . they\u2019re both such talented actors .\n\u201caegyo is how i live this world , \u201d he continued with his killing smile , making the audience laugh . \u201cmaybe it\u2019s because i started my model career when i was young . \u201d\noh . em . gee . . . . this movie was daebak hilarious ! . . . . seriously . . . and the music was just divine . . . ljs , what a talent . . . . he was exceptionally funny , boom ! ! . . . i watched this today ( hot young bloods ) because of my new found admiration for kyk , whom i thought did well here too , lovin the sleek - oily - hair - look . . . ( the flares , omg the flared pants . . . waaat ! ) . i have always been enthralled by ljs in many of his roles , hes just super cute and a great actor . cant believe this was done 3years ago . . . such amazing talents and look where they are now . . . congratulations guys , you all did well and i look forward to seeing so much more , kahmsamnida . . . actually this movie is one of my favorites now too , amazing absolutely , thank you so much , fighting ! ! !\nso - hee confirms with choong - gil whether what she heard about young - sook liking choong - gil is true or not to which he responds , \u201cdon\u2019t say something so scary like that . \u201d lol . he adds that someone just made it up and that it holds no truth . ugh , really choong - gil ? ! you\u2019re just going to ignore young - sook like that ? tsk tsk tsk . meanwhile , young - sook finally lets her feelings out as she cries over the sight of choong - gil and so - hee together back at the restaurant .\nbefore the time skip , joong gil is a big hot mess of a character , with a lot of baggage to sort through . after the time skip , when we come back to him , he\u2019s clearly a more settled , mature version of himself . there\u2019s groundedness and resolve in his eyes . he has set his heart on what he wants to do , and it\u2019s gratifying to see him go for it .\nthe movie begins by following two high students riding on a bicycle . they continue to ride through the fields with the male student continually looking back at the female student in concern , but smiling when he finds her happy and content . the ride comes to an abrupt stop though when the couple notices young - sook ( park bo young ) , the bad - ass and frightening leader that harbors a crush on our male student . young - sook also notices the couple and grows annoyed at the sight of her crush with another woman , but she goes on to mind her own business .\neveryone is surprised and taken aback , but the one person that is probably the most infuriated at this point is young - sook who watches all of this unfold right in front of her eyes .\nafter eating at the hotel with her friends , young - sook returns home only to find visitors / customers there ( she sleeps at her restaurant ) . she waits for a while until they leave and then enters her house . young - sook cooks a small meal for a frequent customer even though it\u2019s late at night without saying a single word to him then leaves afterwards to enter her bedroom .\nif you would like to read my other thoughts on this movie , i wrote a \u2018what mary thinks\u2019 edition on this movie a few months ago so you can read that here . but all in all , although \u2018hot blooded youth\u2019 did provide me with laughter , smiles , and tears , i honestly admit that i wouldn\u2019t want to watch it a third time around . i think watching it two times is good enough for me .\nset in the 80s , a countryside high school teen named , joong - gil , is the biggest heartthrob in town . young - sook , the girlfriend of the school\u2019s toughest bully , has a crush on joong - gil , but he shows her no interest . one day , so - hee , an innocent looking girl , moves into town . young - sook thinks of so - hee as her rival and picks a fight with her . meanwhile , young - sook\u2019s boyfriend suspects ties between young - sook and joong - gil and harasses so - hee , whom joong - gil has a crush on . joong - gil tries to get revenge for so - hee\u2019s sake , but gets beaten down every time . at last , joong - gil decides to have his ultimate battle of revenge aboard a running commuter train .\nthe actress park plays \u2018young - sook ' , the school ' s top girl gangster , and the actor lee plays \u2018joong - gil ' , the school ' s legendary casanova at hongseong agricultural high school .\nin her bedroom , young - sook studies a small but cherished geometry compass that she\u2019s kept to this day . she caresses it while she holds it , reminded of all the memories that the compass encompasses .\nmr . sloan now says this was a \u201cghetto folktale , \u201d but it fractured the movement . the crips and the bloods , the gangs that formed in the 1970s , are seen by mr . sloan as the bastard children of the political organizations of the \u201960s . \u201cout of the ashes of the black panther party came the gangs , \u201d he says . the crips had a sketchy plan for social reform and inventive forms of pageantry ; they also had a constitution .\ni\u2019m not sure how others feel about our second leads , but i really disliked them . so - hee was pretty two - faced which was evident in the bathroom scene where she was fighting young - sook . young - sook didn\u2019t strip so - hee\u2019s clothes off ; so - hee took off her own clothes so that she could prepare to fight young - sook . then when choong - gil came inside the restroom , so - hee pretended to act like she was all innocent and faultless and like she was getting beatened up by young - sook when she herself was the person who initiated the fight . like seriously ? ! i mean young - sook isn\u2019t all that good either , but at least she doesn\u2019t pretend to act all cute and innocent and stays tough and bossy throughout the whole movie , displaying a consistent image and role . as for gwang - sik , he was just waaayyyy too obsessive over young - sook and way too possessive . it\u2019s funny how he didn\u2019t realize that young - sook never liked him until the end of the movie . he was too blind and delusional to realize that young - sook never cared for him . and plus , the majority of the scenes that we saw him in was of him either fighting or beating choong - gil up . the movie didn\u2019t really offer to introduce their background stories either which is why they seem hateful to me . we don\u2019t really know much about our second leads other than that so - hee moved to the countryside because of her health and that gwang - sik claimed young - sook who was never his to begin with . if the movie had given some background information on our second leads and the obstacles or problems they faced to become the tough and rugged person they are , maybe i would pity them a little , but because the movie didn\u2019t , i just ended the movie feeling bitter and hateful towards them , lol .\ni love this movies . . i love park boyoung the most one . . haha . . i love all the scene that boyoung unnie act . . all the gang scene . . haha . . its too live and natural acting i ever see . . all over it , i really love and i hope that bo young will have a character like this again . . haha lol ! park bo young fighting ! !\nthis is my second comment , i don ' t know why the first one didn ' t comes out . it looks funny movie , i wish blood boiling youth will be a memorable movie in early 2014 . yeeee . . . . ! ! ! lee jong suk , kim young kwang , long legs man collaboration . so sad kim young kwang will not going to promote this movie with others due his military duty .\nset in the 80s , a countryside high school teen named , joong - gil , is the biggest heartthrob in town . young - sook , the girlfriend of the school ' s toughest bully , has a crush on joong - gil , but he shows her no interest . one day , so - hee , an innocent looking girl , moves into town . young - sook thinks so - hee as her rival and picks a fight with her . meanwhile , young - sook ' s boyfriend suspects ties between young - sook and joong - gil and harasses so - hee , whom joong - gil has a crush on . joong - gil tries to get revenge for so - hee ' s sake , but gets beaten down every time . at last , joong - gil decides to have his ultimate battle of revenge aboard a running commuter train .\nhis two friends does relay to young - sook though that choong - gil\u2019s in danger because of gwang - sik so she goes to rescue him . choong - gil is able to leave gwang - sik with just a few injuries on his face because of young - sook who stops and threatens gwang - sik . she meets up with choong - gil f a few minutes later and they walk together back home , but choong - gil doesn\u2019t want young - sook\u2019s help or for her to be around him . he walks ahead of her to avoid her presence , but stops when she pulls out the compass asking him if he remembers it .\nyoung - sook can\u2019t stand to stay in the warehouse any longer so she walks back home . while on her walk home , she meets gwang - sik who questions her on where she\u2019s going and whether or not she met up with choong - gil . young - sook answers that yes , they met up and actually did something together too which pisses gwang - sik off even more . she walks away unaffected by his anger though .\ni definitely enjoyed the more serious , dramatic , and emotional scenes in this movie , with most of them revolving around the childhood memories and the past . it was only then that we were able to get a better understanding of our characters . the young - sook that was an elementary kid was not the same young - sook that was in high school . the same can be applied to choong - gil and their relationship which was not the same when they were in elementary school and when they were in high school . a lot of things changed between choong - gil and young - sook and i wished the film could have shown us on how they drifted apart instead of forcing us to watch choong - gil flirt and play around with girls ( which i understand is his main feature and characteristic , but it got really boring and tiring ) . i enjoyed watching young young - sook and choong - gil interact with each other as friends , because it proves that they were close at one point , but what i think the film should have done was show us how they became distant .\nbut the movie felt slightly directionless - probably due to a combination of the writing and the directing . the character and relationship development were half - hearted , especially between lee jong seok and park bo young ' s characters .\nthe principal meets up with so - hee\u2019s father and young - sook\u2019s mother so that they can talk about the fight and reach a consensus , but they themselves end up arguing . fed up and exhausted , young - sook runs out of the office to get her belongings in her classroom and walks out of the school campus . while she walks out , choong - gil watches her from inside his classroom and ponders over her attitude plus behavior .\nlater on that night , young - sook dresses up really nicely ( she\u2019s wearing a dress ! how cute ! ) and checks her make - up in the mirror while waiting at choong - gil\u2019s \u2018base . \u2019 young - sook grows happy at the sound of footsteps but becomes disappointed when it\u2019s not the person that she wants . it turns out that choong - gil had an emergency so he sent his friend instead to go to the base to relay the message . disappointed , she walks towards the door but is interrupted by choong - gil\u2019s friend who has other plans instead . he places his hand on young - sook\u2019s behind and puts on a creepy smile which infuriates young - sook and causes her to beat choong - gil\u2019s friend up pretty bad . ( yeah dude , you\u2019re messing with the wrong person . but it\u2019s okay choong - gil\u2019s friend ! i would have you anytime ! ) .\nhis efforts to capture so - hee\u2019s heart goes to waste though for young - sook always ends up ruining his plans and stealing the gifts he got for so - hee . lol . just acknowledge and accept young - sook\u2019s feelings already choong - gil ! haha . when he finds so - hee feeding some rabbits that she seems to like , he ends up getting her those rabbits without her knowing who got it for her and why , but she accepts it regardless . meanwhile , young - sook notices the sneakers that she originally bought for choong - gil being worn by gwang - sik and grows angry because she didn\u2019t buy it for gwang - sik in the first place .\nhere is a little quick summary for you guys before i go ahead and start on the recap . it\u2019s a version of my own summary for the movie since i\u2019ve watched it before . hehe . so i apologize if it sounds really funny and weird . \u2018hot blooded youth\u2019 takes place in the early 1980\u2032s and showcases the lives of our four main characters : young - sook ( played by park bo young ) , joong - chil ( played by lee jong suk ) , so - hee ( played by lee se young ) , and gwang - sik ( played by kim young - kwang ) . to put it into simpler terms , the movie revolves around a love square . gwang - sik likes young - sook who likes joong - chil who likes so - hee . young - sook is the jjang or iljin of her high school . she\u2019s basically like the bad - ass leader that most of the girls obey out of fear . she\u2019s tough , bad - ass , and can drop kick a guy twice her height . yeah , i would be scared of her too . joong - chil is this really witty guy who uses his own method to capture the fluttering hearts of girls . he\u2019s suave and smooth when it comes to girls , but not so much when it comes to fighting as many times in this movie , he always comes home with a bruised face . so - hee is that new student who transferred from seoul that many of the guys spazz over , including joong - chil . so he tries his own tactics to get at her and almost succeeds . last but not least , gwang - sik is the iljin or leader of his mob and he harbors this crush ( but more like possession ) over young - sook , claiming her to be his and when he discovers that there might be someone else interfering in their relationship , he gets super angry and scary . sooo basically you don\u2019t want to mess with him either . the movie ultimately showcases the complex relationships between all our four lead characters and the journey that they embark on together .\nher gaze betrays layers of hurt even though she never speaks of them . and even though young sook\u2019s first instinct is always to protect her pride , she\u2019s bold and gutsy and never shies away from tough situations or difficult decisions .\ncan you help me out with something though ? i had been frantically searching for the song that was used at the beginning of the movie . the one that was played in the background when joong gil was riding a bicycle . also there were more songs like this throughout the movie , like when joong gil was about to kiss young sook but gets caught by lee se young . can you please tell me the name of the song and the singer ?\nso fcuking good . . . so so good . . . you just can ' t even - - ugh . the parts towards the end was just damn . great performance from lee jong suk and park bo young : - )\nchoong - gil and young - sook\u2019s school have just returned from another trip and is heading back to school . while on the train , choong - gil\u2019s friends expose to him details they\u2019ve obtained of the new transfer student from seoul ( creepy much eh ? ) . her name is so - hee ( lee se young ) which means \u2018rain\u2019 in korean , so upon hearing this , choong - gil\u2019s friend asks if it\u2019s raining and looks outside the window . hahaha .\nso - hee confronts young - sook on how troublesome she is and they end up fighting each other . although the crowd that has formed outside of the girl\u2019s restroom just watches them fight in amazement , choong - gil comes to stop them from continuing on any further . he accuses young - sook of stripping so - hee\u2019s clothes off of her when he comes to rescue so - hee ( who feigns weakness and fear ) and takes her out of the restroom .\nset in the early 1980 ' s in heongseong , south korea . young sook is the feared leader of a female gang at the high school . although she is known for her toughness , she has a secret crush on joong gil . meanwhile , joong gil is the school ' s playboy . he attempts to woo all the girls at his high school except for young sook . that ' s because gwang shik , the feared leader of a rival school ' s male\npark bo - young and kim young - kwang are set to co - star in the upcoming romantic drama your wedding ( translated title ) . in the film\u2019s plot , soo - jeong ( kim ) receives a wedding invitation from his first love seung - hee ( park ) . the film chronicles the 10 - year relationship of the two , beginning with their high school years and following them into adulthood . your wedding marks a return to the silver screen . . .\nso - hee is dissatisfied at first , but roller skating with choong - gil turns out to be a great time for her . she gets to witness clumsy choong - gil make a fool out of himself by continually falling and trying to impress her by pretending like he knows how to roller skate when really he doesn\u2019t . their date continues when they visit the town to get something to eat . while walking and talking casually , they come across young - sook\u2019s who working at her mom\u2019s restaurant . young - sook notices choong - gil and so - hee together , but doesn\u2019t say a word . the hurt and sorrowful look in her eyes already conveys enough .

karat - gold douchebag . flanagan has been honing her tirelessly contrarian standpoints on motherhood , work , abortion , teen girls , sexuality , adultery , and education in the pages of such august publications as the new yorker and the atlantic monthly for almost a decade , and in that time has churned out dozens of stupendously specious , haughty , and intellectually dishonest ( and sometimes plagiarized ! ) reviews and opinion pieces that offer little more than a window on the author ' s self - focused worldview . herewith , some of her defining plays .\nthermoplastic provided the answer to one of the questions about how to dress students as objects . visual artist ellie kinney \u201918 , who has taught herself how to use the unusual medium , describes it as similar to construction paper that can be shaped and cut and then secured with heat gun . kinney\u2019s thermoplastic pieces serve as supplements costumes , such as feather duster babette\u2019s handle or lumiere\u2019s candelabra .\nwow ! wow ! wow ! turned by morgan rice was fabulous ! couldn ' t put this down . even though it was a shorter novel , it was filled to the brim with excitement and suspense . caitlin is not your normal teenager . when she moves to a new york city with her mom and brother sam , she doesn ' t know what to expect . one day after school , she notices a fellow classmate being bullied in an alley . when she tries to help , and discovers herself in danger , an overwhelming hunger , urge and strength comes over her . the unfortunate thing is , she doesn ' t remember a thing . when it happens again , it turns fatal and she finds herself in the middle of a vampire war . with the help of a fellow vampire caleb , she escapes , but not for long . she may just be\nthe one\nthey are looking for . i ' ll be starting the next book in this series , like now ! thanks ms . rice , you ' ve made a fan out of me ! ! ! highly recommended .\never since flashpoint , team flash hasn\u2019t been the same that we knew and loved last season . the flash season 3 has seen caitlin dealing with her earth -

reflective series about artistic indecision ( after\nart history ,\nsilver bullets\nand\nthe zone\n) focuses on real - life performance artist caitlin stainken ( who also co - wrote ) and her intermittent relationship with an indie filmmaker played , unsurprisingly , by swanberg himself .\nof course , a blow to this relationship can be dealt by changing the gender of the artist and her audience . and this is what stasey , in word and text , has done . but to suppose , as many have , that such a simple shift will disrupt the way in which a woman\u2019s body is conventionally viewed by herself or others \u2014 and this is the process to which the phrase \u201cmale gaze\u201d generally refers \u2014 is na\u00efve .\nand for some actors , that pressure to follow the \u201cgeneral characteristics\u201d has become more personal . lead actress cypress smith \u201917 plays belle . \u201ci recognize that i\u2019m a person of color playing a role that has pretty much always been white , \u201d she said . \u201ceveryone has been really good about keeping as much of myself in the role as possible . \u201d she added that one way of doing this is by wearing her hair in its naturally curly state , rather than straightening it or covering it with a wig .\nin her house , ellie was having difficulty preparing her notes for the interview the next day as griffin was having a party . as the party became even noisier , ellie decided to do her work in the core . when she arrived at the office , she was shocked to find jesse and caitlin having sex . the next morning , jesse tried to apologize to her but she said that she wanted to break up . after he managed to manipulate her into continuing their relationship , she told him that she was going to quit the paper as she did not want people talking about them . as paige helped her to pick out an outfit for the interview , she confided in her that jesse and caitlin had hooked up . when paige commented that she did not know why either of them had dated jesse , ellie told her that she was still with jesse but had quit the core . paige thought that this was a very bad idea and that there were times when she had to choose her professional career over her love life as the interview with caitlin was a great opportunity for her .\nluckily for the high school , though , the drama department has a robust team of volunteers who are up for the challenge . as costume designer cathy dubois put it , the team has been \u201csewing like maniacs . \u201d dubois herself has been researching and planning how the execute the challenging costumes since this summer . gillooly gushed about just how much effort and work dubois has poured into designing costumes . \u201cthe amount of thought that cathy has put into making these costumes is incredible . \u201d\nso while philosophically flanagan believes that\nwhen a mother works , something is lost ,\nsomeone has to clean up the yucky fluids that princess can ' t soil her tiny hands with . what kind of person proudly calls herself a stay - at - home mother , demonizes professional working women , yet employs other women , with their own children , to do the work she considers beneath her ? i ' ll tell you : a dryer - fresh , lemon - scented douchebag .\nonce matthew arrives at the train station to collect her , we\u2019re in more familiar territory . episode one covers the first 10 chapters of the book , more or less , with a few later incidents thrown in . the drive from the station is basically canonical , as anne chatters to matthew and marvels at the blossom - lined drive known as the avenue . when they arrive and she discovers she is not wanted after all , the world recedes again as she begins to disassociate . it\u2019s hard not to be affected by mcnulty\u2019s performance , especially later , when she sobs herself to sleep . the experience of trauma and its aftermath feels real , though it\u2019s not exactly the stuff of montgomery\u2019s romantic escapism . it\u2019s one thing to read about anne crying herself to sleep , and quite another to witness her reliving the experience of being viciously beaten by mr . hammond . unlike montgomery , wallet -

i fail to see the significance , other than the hope that it will be confused with the\nvampire diaries\nseries . the story itself just doesn ' t track . for instance , caitlin and her brother sam have this horrible mother and no father , so they ' re supposed to be incredibly close :\nhe was the only constant in her life . . . he seemed\nhmmp . . let see . . this is definitely an easy read novel . . i finished it in about 3 hrs . . it has some good points in it such as how the author choose to use simple words which is definitely a good one since i ' m having a hard time reading other novels and keep on glancing my dictionary and keep wondering if its meant to be literally or if its meant to be figurative . . but anyway , i hate to say that the negative ones , outnumbered the positive . so here are some of them : i hate how caitlin keeps o\nreview for : bloddeuedd i\u2019ll be honest , when b . sent me this book and i saw the title , my thoughts were : \u201cgawd , not another vampire diaries , twilight rip - off ! \u201d \u2018cause there seems to be no end of those . it\u2019s like the davinci code all over again ! while turned is in no way original or refreshing \u2013 at least to me ( let\u2019s face it , there\u2019s not much i haven\u2019t seen and that includes lizard vampires ! ) \u2013 it was a nice read and i was glad b . sent it over . let me tell you why . caitlin\u2019s mum has the moving bug ,\nwhat a weird book . i got it for free , from the writers website . but i ' m not really sure what i think of it . it hasn ' t really started yet . i was just getting in to it , but it already ended . the idea of this book is good , and it could definitly go somewhere , but i feel like it ' s not been thought through . if that makes any sense . . i don ' t like the main character . caitlin falls in love with a complete stranger , she doesn ' t even know his name . and a few hours before she met this complete stranger she\ncontrary to what had been said by a police officer at the inquest in 2015 , in a high court hearing in 2017 a senior judge said that there was no evidence her widower was unfaithful or even that she feared he had been . the suicide note had been misread by detective inspector koran sellars , of greater manchester police , said the judge , sir brian leveson . the portion of the note which the detective believed to be addressed to another woman was actually written by ms putney to herself , he said . \u201ci have no doubt whatsoever that the note does not bear the meaning that det insp sellars sought to give it\u2026 i repeat that there is nothing in the note or any of the other evidence to suggest that mr mueller has ever had an affair or was ever unfaithful to his wife , \u201d sir brian said in his ruling .\n, except that neither swanberg nor stainken is as charismatic an actor as jean - pierre l\u00e9aud , and the drama that ultimately emerges offers nothing as compelling as eustache\u2019s devastating finale . perhaps judging this film by the standards of conventional screenwriting or french films from the \u201860s and \u201870s is misguided ; after all , swanberg has said that he\u2019s more influenced by youtube clips than cinema from the past . at its best , his cinema suggests a hybrid between previous models and something genuinely new , specific to video and our fragmented technological communication . ( caitlin talks about reducing her anxiety by going off the grid . ) while not nearly as accomplished as the films it evokes ,\nyour article contains many insightful ideas , but i believe that comparing philosophical feminist or equality ideas with this project encourages the suggestion it lacks something it may never have been trying to achieve . it came across as though you were desperately trying to dial back your criticism of stacey ( although i will accept if this is not the case ) for failing in goals that she herself didn\u2019t set . the project appears to be a direct attempt to counteract the societal ill of unhealthy media representation of women . along the line of setting up a soup kitchen to feed hungry people , directly engaging with the people who are without food . no one blames the soup kitchen for failing to dictate social policy or political debate . they are doing their bit , someone else needs to be in canberra advocating for the homeless , and trying to do both at the same time can often be counterproductive .\nwhen the flash premiered on the cw in 2014 , it won glowing reviews from comic fans and newcomers alike . with charming performers like grant gustin , jesse l . martin , carlos valdes , and tom cavanagh at the core of the cast and ingenious special effects delivering a superheroic punch , the arrow spin - off quickly became the most watched show in the network\u2019s history . but there was a hitch in * the flash\u2019 * s sprint to tv greatness . through no fault of the actresses playing its female leads , characters iris west and caitlin snow have never quite matched the stride of the show itself when it\u2019s humming on all cylinders . but the third - season premiere proves that the flash has finally figured out how to use one of its leading ladies .\nanne is played by 15 - year - old amybeth mcnulty , who is a more convincing 13 - year - old than megan follows was at 17 . she\u2019s as thin and waifish as described in the book ( in which anne is actually supposed to be only 11 ) , with big , expressive eyes . we first meet her on the train , looking out the window . when she\u2019s startled from her reverie by a crying baby , the cheery fiddle soundtrack dissolves into dissonance and she slips into a dark memory of being slapped and screamed at by mrs . hammond in the unhappy household where she used to be a little drudge . before anne has even uttered a word , we learn she has ptsd . when she comes back to herself , she remarks to mrs . spencer , \u201ci like imagining more than remembering . why are the worst memories the most insistent ? \u201d there\u2019s more than a touch of bitterness in the question . evidently , this anne shirley has issues\u2014and an edge .\nthat is , unless those women work for me . it ' s a rare kind of asshole who can lecture other women about the importance of housewifery in one breath and brag about being far too good for quotidian domestic chores in the next . caitlin flanagan is that asshole . she proudly noted in the 2003 atlantic essay\nhousewife confidential\nthat not only had she never changed a sheet , she was\nfar too educated and uppity to have knuckled down and learned anything about stain removal or knitting or stretching recipes .\nsinging the praises of her nanny , paloma , in her 2006 essay collection to hell with all that , she describes her method of dealing with a sick child .\n' paloma , patrick is throwing up !

communist crackdown that swept through the united states in the late 1940s and early 1950s . besides the hollywood ten , other members of the film industry with alleged communist ties were later banned from working for the big movie studios . the hollywood blacklist came to an end in the 1960s .\nlocation : camrose park -

communists won in a landslide , a sign that much had changed since the beginning of the hearings , and that hollywood on the whole had been duly frightened . another sign of the same came that very day , when the mpaa\u2019s eric johnston , who had declared victory on behalf of the hollywood ten a few days earlier , told the hollywood reporter that the 10 had performed a \u201ctremendous disservice\u201d to their industry . it was time that the studios , johnston said , \u201ctake positive steps to meet this problem . \u201d\nbig ten club tickets are sold out . we are in section g1 and g2 . you can purchase your own tickets and still join us for the pre -

[ 2 ]\nthose calloways is a 1965 american film adaption of a book by paul annixter . annixter and his wife jane were writers of books for young readers . the film was produced by disney and directed by norman tokar . it was the last credit for veteran film composer max steiner .\noriginally trade - previewed as those crazy calloways , disney ' s those calloways is a lengthy , anecdotal film about a highly individualistic new england family . patriarch cam calloway ( brian keith ) is regarded as a crank by the local villagers because of his dream to build a bird sanctuary that will protect migratory geese from hunters . cam uses all his savings to buy a lake , where he intends to establish his sanctuary . when a wealthy sportsman offers to turn the town into a booming resort community in exchange for hunting rights , cam opposes the plan , which briefly puts him on the outs with everyone else . only when cam is accidentally shot by the sportsman do the locals rally around the\ncrazy\ncalloways so that cam ' s sanctuary can come to fruition .\nthis results in the calloways being evicted from their home and having to build a new log cabin on the marshland . fortunately , the townspeople come to help and the cabin is built in no time .\ndespite that , the calloways seem to be an overall loving married couple and manage to patch up their problems quicker than others . they also have a teenage adult son named bucky , played by brandon dewilde ,\ncam calloway ( brian keith ) is a man with a dream : to one day establish a sanctuary for the geese that fly overhead during their long migration . unfortunately , cam lacks the money to buy the necessary property - - until his son buck ( brandon de wilde ) embarks on a project that will guarantee success . . . unaware that greedy hunters are manipulating the calloway family for their own selfish gains . beautifully filmed in vermont , those calloways is a stirring outdoor drama glowingly filmed in the rural new england countryside and featuring an exceptional cast of popular movie performers .\nthose calloways is currently available on dvd . a minor restoration has been done , but the print is still flawed by excess grain and artifacts that shouldn ' t be there . the film is presented in a widescreen aspect ratio of 1 . 66 : 1 . while theater exhibition guides didn ' t specify which aspect ratio was correct , most disney films from this era were presented in 1 . 75 : 1 . however , 1 . 66 : 1 is pretty close and is much more preferred than disney ' s usual fullscreen transfers . there aren ' t any bonus features . the film is also available on itunes where it can be purchased in hd widescreen .\nback to the main plot : after a successful hunting season , bucky returns home with a good number of furs to sell in the market after the christmas holidays . sadly , the fur market somewhat crashes , so instead of receiving $ 1800 for the furs as they thought they were gonna get , the calloways only received $ 450 .\nit ' s easy to understand why critics were so torn on this film . it has some really great moments . there is some humor , mostly involving mrs . calloway trying to shoe a bear away that always comes to their cottage . there are also some truly touching moments , like when she is presented with her first fur coat for christmas . all of the actors give fine performances and swiftwater feels like it would be a great place to visit , which adds to the films appeal . on the other hand , a story about a family who loses everything to save some geese doesn ' t seem very justifiable and with a two hour runtime , its easy to see why so many were quick to dismiss it . it ' s a slow paced film full of sentiment for a simpler time that doesn ' t exist anymore . if you enjoy that kind of film , you will probably be amongst those who truly love those calloways . i enjoyed the film , but i wouldn ' t go as far as to say its one of disney ' s best .\nthey live near the forest in a typical log cabin . cam\u2019s occupation is trapping . he lays traps for ermines and other forest animals and sells their furs . i find this somewhat hypocritical . he\u2019s upset about people shooting the geese . but , he doesn\u2019t mind killing other animals . on top of that , he doesn\u2019t mind killing those animals and using the money to buy the marshland to save the geese .\nthe film begins with footage of geese as the credits play and we are introduced to the cottage of the calloways . the son bucky gets in a fight with a man in the town who is shooting at the geese as they fly over . when he gets home , his father tries to teach him how to fight . when a rich business man sees the geese and hears that they fly over swiftwater on their way south and north , he tells the town it would be good business to make it a tourist destination for hunters . when mr . calloway finds out what the town is up to he is outraged . he takes a loan to buy the lake property that the town was planning to turn into a stop for the geese . their main source of income is selling furs . when the market crashes and they make less then expected for their sales , he gets in over his head and can\u2019t pay back the loan . they are evicted from their cottage and they move onto the new property where they build a bigger cabin .\ncam calloway , an irish trapper and woodsman raised by the micmac indians , lives in swiftwater , maine , with his wife , liddy , and his 19 - year - old son , bucky . his fondest hope is to establish a sanctuary for the great flocks of wild geese which fly over swiftwater in autumn during their southward migration . in order to purchase a large tract of land for the proposed sanctuary , cam spends all the profits from an entire season of trapping . as a result , he is unable to meet the mortgage payments on his own home , and he and his family are evicted . forced to move to the lake , they find that many of their neighbors are willing to help them build a new home . meanwhile , dell fraser , a traveling salesman , schemes to convert swiftwater into a resort for goose hunters . posing as a conservationist , dell gives cam money to plant corn which would lure the birds down during their migration . bucky learns of the plan , and cam has a violent argument with the profiteers . after cam is seriously wounded by a rifle shot , the townspeople organize a petition authorizing the federal government to buy the marshland for a sanctuary . as cam recovers from his wound , fraser and his cohorts leave town , and the dream of the calloways becomes a reality .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nyour social account may not have provided your email to us . please confirm or enter it below to complete your profile .\nwe found your email in our system . please provide your site password to link to your existing account .\nforgot your password ? enter your email address and we ' ll send you instructions on how to access your account .\nwe have not verified that the email belongs to you . please check your inbox for the verification email .\nto resend the verification email , please enter your email address and click submit .\ninteresting attempt by disney to make a film with more complex characters than the usual offerings by this studio . talking mainly of course about brian . . .\nleonard maltin classic movie guide , copyright 2005 , 2010 . used by arrangement with penguin group ( usa ) inc .\ntm & \u00a9 2018 turner classic movies , inc . a time warner company . all rights reserved . code of conduct for this site | press room | privacy policy | | terms of use\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nstory of cam calloway and his family , who live in a densely wooded area in new england . cam dreams of building a sanctuary for the geese that fly over the area each year , and he tries . . . see full summary \u00bb\nlakeith stanfield and his sorry to bother you crew reveal their most soul -

wife . \u201d\nhe has always loved the geese and hated how people could just shoot the geese . his dream is to create a sort of geese sanctuary where the geese can come down for a rest as they fly over the town and where they can be safe from hunters . the only available area where he can make the sanctuary is some unwanted marshland near a lake . the problem is it costs $ 1100 .\nthis sanctuary aspiration ( as well as the fact that he has a bit of a drinking problem ) causes conflict between him and his wife , lydia \u201cliddy\u201d calloway , played by vera miles .\n\u201csomehow i feel i should have a murdered sister near a creepy motel in this movie . \u201d\nnevertheless , cam still intends to go fur trapping and even intends to take his son bucky with him this year . they go out to do a preliminary scouting of the area they\u2019re going to trap : an area of the forest that nobody\u2019s ever trapped before because the local natives say the place is haunted with evil spirits . cam and bucky disregard this legend and end up having an accident resulting in cam breaking his leg .\nbucky rushes to town to get help from the townspeople . they manage to get cam back home and get the doctor to look at cam\u2019s leg . since cam has to rest his leg now , it\u2019s up to bucky to go and do the fur trapping himself this year .\nlet me take a minute to talk about the townspeople whom we see a lot of . they\u2019re your typical small town - type townspeople including a group of friendly old - timers . if you\u2019re a fan of old films / tv shows , you can recognize a few familiar faces . the most prevalent old - timer is a man named alf simes , played by 3 - time academy award winner , walter brennan .\n\u201cbelieve it or not , this is one of the movies that i did not win an academy award for . \u201d\n\u201chey ed , i know a man with a wooden leg named smith . \u201d \u201cwhat\u2019s the name of his other leg ? \u201d\nand even the doctor , played by frank ferguson , is better known as mr . foley from the andy griffith show .\n\u201cit\u2019s like every disney movie from the 1960s reminds you of the andy griffith show . \u201d\nthis upsets cam especially because now he can\u2019t purchase the marshland fully . however , there are two things that he can do : he can give the money to doane shattuck , his landlord , to whom he owes money . or he can use the money as a down payment on the marshland . unfortunately , he does the latter which results in his wife getting upset with him , and deservedly so .\nthis reminds me of penny chenery\u2019s decision in secretariat when she has a chance to pay off a debt , but refuses to do so and would rather put her dreams and goals before her family and reality .\nbut like penny , cam tries to find another way to pay off his debts and offers the marshland that he\u2019s put a down payment on to doane . but since the marshland is not a piece of prime real estate , doane refuses the deal .\nduring this time , a newcomer to the town , dell fraser , played by philip abbott comes into contact with cam . he expresses interest in the geese and admire\u2019s cam\u2019s sanctuary idea . he even informs cam that his boss would be willing to invest money in cam\u2019s sanctuary so that it can be set up in no time .\n\u201cwell either you are closing your eyes to a situation you do not wish to acknowledge , or you are not aware of the caliber of disaster indicated by the lack of a geese sanctuary in your community . \u201d\ncam , appreciative of the offer , agrees to this . this turns out to be a bad move as dell fraser and his boss\u2019s intentions are to win cam\u2019s trust and shoot all the geese when they land in cam\u2019s sanctuary . when cam finds out about the scheme , he gets angry at dell fraser and sets fire to the corn that he\u2019s planted to attract the geese .\nsadly , this doesn\u2019t prevent dell fraser and his boss from shooting the geese as they fly over the lake near the marshland . when cam sees this , he tries to stop them forcibly and in the scuffle , accidentally gets shot . cam is unconscious as the townspeople start to pray for him .\nthe movie ends with cam regaining consciousness , the geese stopping down in cam\u2019s sanctuary , and the townspeople unanimously signing a petition protecting cam\u2019s sanctuary from the likes of dell fraser and his boss .\ngosh\u2026this is quite a hard film to say what i think about it . the film is your typical old - fashioned homely film about a family living in a small town near the wilderness . the biggest problems that i have with this film are the length and the pacing . the film is over 2 hours long and the first half of the movie just seems to drag ! the overall film itself also doesn\u2019t seem to go at a steady balanced pace .\ni wouldn\u2019t call this a good movie , but if you\u2019re a fan of old - fashioned movies that take place in rural area , maybe you can give this one a shot .\n( you can click on the image below for an enlarged version of my rating sheet . )\nso , the final score for this film is 22 / 35 = 62 . 86 % ( d - ) !\nha . i haven\u2019t heard of this one either but your line \u201ci too am a woman of complicated morals . pancakes ? \u201d cracked me up . they certainly got a pretty good cast . it looks like the kind of movie that they play on my local pbs station on \u2018family movie night\u2019 . if i was bored i might give it a sit - through but sounds like not worth hunting down . fun review .\nyeah , don\u2019t go out of your way for it , but if it\u2019s playing somewhere , give it a shot especially if you like seeing actors / actresses from back - in - the - day .\ni wish my local pbs had a \u201cfamily movie night\u201d . i do love our local metv station which plays old shows like get smart , the andy griffith show , hogan\u2019s heroes , cheers , the bob newhart show , the adventures of superman , star trek , the twilight zone , mod squad , m * a * s * h , welcome back kotter , taxi , the adam west batman show , lost in space , bonanza , the brady bunch , gilligan\u2019s island , mary tyler moore show , emergency ! , etc .\n\u2018the andy griffith show\u2019 is awesome ! i love it to death ! i\u2019ve seen almost every episode ! i think only season 8 and some of seasons 6 & 7 i haven\u2019t seen yet .\nwhere were you when i was 14 years old to stand up against my sisters ? i told them the last 3 seasons were in color and they completely ignored me \u2013 \u201care you a dog ? \u201d \u201cthen why are you watching it ? \u201d i even remember one of them trying to moon the tv .\nit\u2019s sad that some people wouldn\u2019t watch a film / tv show or even give it a chance just because it\u2019s not in color .\nmedia junkie on lt . robin crusoe , u . s . n . \u2026\nthe animation commen\u2026 on lt . robin crusoe , u . s . n . \u2026\neric binford on lt . robin crusoe , u . s . n . \u2026\nprivacy & cookies : this site uses cookies . by continuing to use this website , you agree to their use . to find out more , including how to control cookies , see here : cookie policy\nsorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .\n2018 copyright . all rights reserved . the sponsored listings displayed above are served automatically by a third party . neither the service provider nor the domain owner maintain any relationship with the advertisers . in case of trademark issues please contact the domain owner directly ( contact information can be found in whois ) . privacy policy\njermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .\neach year , migrating canadian geese stop for rest in a remote vermont community . before long , hunters begin to prey on the animals , much to the chagrin of local family man cam calloway ( brian keith ) . cam , hoping to protect the geese , decides to construct a safe house for them near a large pond . he and his family move into the wilderness to build the shelter . unfortunately , he makes a powerful enemy when a businessman ( philip abbott ) tries to turn the rural town into a hunting destination .\nkeith is cam calloway , an irish trapper brought up by micmac indians . he , his wife , and de wilde , their 19 -

have movie for all disney fans , a movie that reminds us the beauty of simple life and the essential love of nature and kindness of heart . i simply cannot recommend it enough , buy it , watch it and you ' ll love it !\ni purchased this movie for one reason max steiner wrote the music score and must say he is the best ever when it comes to music in films . not like the rubbish of today that sound just like someone hitting a bin lid with a piece of wood . the movie its self is just wonderful and i rate it as 5 full stars price is very good for the type of movie it is and for family to watch again and again . i highly recommend it for picture and a good story lovely music score by max a very good print and sound , what more do you wany so go ahead and buy it and put it to your collectiom well worth keeping for future screening .\nthere are tens of disney films which are either impossible to buy or they are being sold for region 1 . it is a classic on dvd that i am happy now to keep with my collection\nthe story is set in vermont , and tells of a family ` s attempt to set up a lake sanctuary for the wild geese , which fly over their land twice a year . it ` s set ` in the olden days ` with ` townsfolk ` and ` a house - building ` etc . the men of the family trap animals for their fur , and there are some deep - snow mountain scenes . but this film didn ` t hit any of the right notes with our family , i ` m sorry to say . i ` d thought it would , being disney , and having a rural setting , but it ` s hard to say who it will appeal to . some scenes were unsuitable for the under 10s . ( geese being shot out of the air , the hero getting a bloody nose and injuries in fist - fights , and a scene where the hero , in a jealous mood , forces kisses onto the girl he fancies ) for adults the storyline is too slow . ( at least it is for this adult ) the comedy - type music which accompanies the tame grizzly bear ` s appearences suggests the story is going to be fun for children , but we found it wasn ` t much fun . imo it ` s a film for watching just the once .\nprime members enjoy fast & free shipping , unlimited streaming of movies and tv shows with prime video and many more exclusive benefits .\nafter viewing product detail pages , look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages you are interested in .\none week away !

selling book about the mysterious and eccentric citizens of savannah , ga , is being adapted as a broadway - aimed stage musical by tony , academy and pulitzer prize - winning playwright alfred uhry .\nthe lady chablis , who was featured in john berendt\u2019s 1994 book \u201cmidnight in the garden of good and evil\u201d and the 1997 film adaptation , died thursday . she was 59 . club one , the savannah georgia venue where chablis performed her revue , posted the following message on their facebook page : \u201cthe lady chablis , who stole hearts \u2013 [ \u2026 ]\nmidnight in the garden of good and evil also contains dangerous intimations thatthe author hopes to hang on this description of savannah grander philosophical or cultural theories . the pompous tide warns of some kind of behavioural thesis , and berendt offers various meditations on the effect of geographical isolation : ' every nuance and quirk of personality achieved greater brilliance in that lush enclosure than would have been possible anywhere else in the world . '\nmany of the local people who lived the real - life events of jim williams\u2019 trial played characters and extras in the film .\n\u201cmidnight in the garden of good and evil\u201d is an outstanding lean film trapped in a fat film\u2019s body . clint eastwood\u2019s screen version of john berendt\u2019s phenomenally successful nonfiction tome , about a sensational murder case in genteel , eccentric , old savannah , ga . , vividly captures the atmosphere and memorable characters of the book . but the picture\u2019s aimless , sprawling structure and exceedingly leisurely pace finally come to weigh too heavily upon its virtues , which will likely cripple it as a significant b . o . attraction .\nyears later , jim williams and the death of danny hansford became the center of john berendt ' s best - selling book ,\nmidnight in the garden of good and evil .\nin 1997 , filming began on the movie of the same name directed by clint eastwood . many downtown locations , including the mercer - williams house , monetary square , forsyth park and bonaventure cemetery , are scenes in the movie .\nit strikes me that the audience for midnight in the garden is likely to be a small , select group , not because the film is bad , but because it demands a certain temperament to enjoy a long , unhurried experience like this . and , while the movie doesn ' t succeed in effectively developing all of the subplots and secondary themes in its complex tapestry , its main point - - that morality is a relative , not an absolute , quantity - - is presented in a striking fashion . with midnight in the garden of good and evil , eastwood has captured a peculiar yet involving slice of life .\nsavannah\u2019s most famous park was also featured in the film . the 30 - acre plot surrounds the iconic white fountain . originally built in the 1840s , forsyth park includes a cafe , walking paths and sports areas . it ' s also home to a weekly farmers market . in addition to\nmidnight in the garden of good and evil ,\nother films like\nthe longest yard\nand\ncape fear\nused the park as a filming location .\nthe movie star and director will return to film on fenwick street july 16 and 17 .\nalthough the bird girl statue is no longer located in bonaventure cemetery , this hauntingly beautiful savannah cemetery still plays a huge role in \u201cmidnight in the garden of good and evil . \u201d under the spanish moss canopy , the cemetery is rich in history and mystery along with stunning sculptures . at 160 acres , bonaventure is savannah\u2019s largest cemetery , making it an absolute must - see !\nat the beginning of \u2018midnight in the garden of good and evil\u2019 , the camera pans over songwriter , johnny mercer\u2019s grave , which is located in the bonaventure cemetery in savannah . the camera then takes the viewer to a shot of the statue known as the \u201cbird girl\u201d statue . this statue is also located in the cemetery . it is the statue that is featured on the book\u2019s cover as well as in the posters for the film . many recreations of the statue have gone up all over savannah , as well as on t - shirts .\nthe book , midnight in the garden of good and evil , is based on a true story about jim williams . of course , john berendt added and embellished to make it more exciting . mr . williams bought mercer house in 1969 after it had been vacant for over a decade . he restored it , as he did 50 + houses in savannah during his lifetime .\nperhaps no book has played more of a role on tourism in savannah , georgia than john berendt\u2019s midnight in the garden of good and evil . the southern gothic book , known simply as \u201cthe book , \u201d is based on true events surrounding antiques dealer jim williams and the murder of danny hansford in savannah . the subsequent four trials and eventual acquittal stirred up the quiet city and left a permanent impact on its legacy . today you can go on midnight tours of savannah , but it\u2019s just as easy to find the landmarks yourself .\nlady chablis , on the other hand , is very much alive and kicking throughout the novel and film .\nbookends : a focus on the statue and then minerva talking to a squirrel help frame the opening and closing of the film .\non broadway , she created the role of mrs medlock in the 3 -

smile on her face , \u2019 a pose that would grace many stages . \u201d the post added that chablis was club one\u2019s first performer when it opened in 1988 , \u201cpaving the way for female impersonation in savannah . \u201d\nmidnight in the garden would have worked better as a morality play had the\ngood\naspects of john ' s struggle been developed more fully than in a series of disjointed , uneven scenes . his love affair with alison , for example , seems almost like an afterthought , when , in fact , it ' s a critical element of his redemption . on the other hand , this movie would have been more effective as a courtroom drama / detective yarn had it cut out these subplots altogether . they slow down the pace and rob the narrative of tension . in fact , midnight in the garden doesn ' t have the right running length , regardless of what it ' s trying to do . it ' s too short for a dramatic exploration of john ' s crisis of conscience and too long for a more traditional murder mystery .\n\u201cthe lady chablis , who stole hearts \u2013 and the spotlight \u2013 in \u2018midnight in the garden of good and evil , \u2019 passed this morning surrounded by friends and family . in his best -

defense or both ? at one point , williams changes his story when he talks privately with kelso , but the visual depiction of his story in that scene doesn\u2019t quite match what he is saying . later , kelso asks williams what really happened . his question seems confusing in light of the dialogue from the earlier scene because , as far as kelso should know , williams has made a full confession to him . other scenes in the movie as well as the movie\u2019s final shot strongly suggest that the truth doesn\u2019t really matter anyway because all truth is relative . as williams tells kelso , \u201ctruth is in the eye of the beholder . \u201d such a philosophy is anti -

williams house would be used to shoot the party scenes . the fight and shooting scenes were taped in a studio in hollywood .\nequipped with a clean - cut hero , the film begins with a long meet - and -

'\nmany viewers of the popular drama , which follows the exploits of the anti - police corruption unit and also stars thandie newton and vicky mcclure , mightn ' t realise martin has a strong scottish accent .\nbut as more and more people tune in the actor says he ' s coming under increasing scrutiny .\n' the bigger this [ show ] gets the more people figure out i\u2019m scottish , and then the more they become accent detectives and they start listening , ' he said .\n' when i do the accent i tend to just stay in it . for me it\u2019s like going to the gym , the more you\u2019re in it the better you get .

its not the film ' sole survivor ' ! ! my family had a colour tv and that film was in black & white . the search goes on : = (\na bumbling us marine captain is assigned to retrieve a space capsule from a despotic african ruler .\nwhatever the name of this film is , one thing i remember is the ghosts of the departed crew being in awe of a helicopter that turns up at the crash site , with one of them remarking that it ' hangs in the air just like a bird ' or something like that . suggesting that when they died there were no helicopters in service .\nthe name of the film was sole survivor and if you go to you tube and type in sole survivor you can sit back and enjoy the movie .\nthe film in question isn ' t\nthe survivor\n( the film of the james herbert book ) . the plot for the survivor was that one man survives a plane crash ( i think totally unharmed ) and in his struggle to come to terms with this uncovers the fact that the plane was sabotaged / blown up . the twist is that he didn ' t survive . he is a manifestation of the will of all the lost souls and as soon as the truth is reveals he dies .\ni too remember a film ' sole surviver ' about a man that lost his wife and daughter in a plane accident . when he tries to investigate he is pursued by some black op federal agents . the main agent was played by billy zane . the plot was of mind control and child experiments in a secret lab where people ' s minds were remotely controlled . the pilot of the commercial aircraft purposely crashed the plane because of his mind being controlled by one of the kids . in the end the man rescues a young girl , his own daughter ' s age , who was the ' sole surviver ' of the crash . the film was a two - part tv film never reproduced for dvd or vcr . i have tried to obtain copies to no avail . if anyone does get a lead on this film and how to obtain copies , please let me now . it is an incredible film , not to be confused with ' soul survivor ' .\ni remember watching this film as well , way back in the 80s . i simply cannot remember the name of the film . however , i remember a scene from the film where a patrol came across the wreckage . all the airmen were standing to attention and then all of a sudden they realised that nobody could see them . they are all sitting around and one of time they disappeared as they were being buried . if i remember rightly , there was one guy left , i don ' t think his body was found though . damn good film , wish i could get my hands on it .\nthis page has just answered a quest i have had for over a decade - i ' ve asked all sorts , including those who title themselves film afficiondos its weird to see that so many other people have been trying to find the title of this film as well - a bit like our own episode of the twilight zone . i can rest easy now . thanks again .\ni disagree that it was\nsole survivor\n. that was a different story where a survivor of a crash became a highranking officer who had wrongly claimed that his plane had gone down in the mediterranean . the film ( definitely not a twilight zone story ) was set in the desert and consisted of the dead crew of the crashed aircraft not knowing they were dead until their colleagues suddenly began disappearing as their bodies were found . the final\nsurvivor\nwas almost left alone by the plane until his body was found and his ghost released . i still don ' t know the name of the film and would love to know it .\nsorry , dino , but the urltoken you quote is the one made in 1970 starring the same cast . ( see\nurltoken\nweb site ) however the film we are trying to find had no survivors . not a sole survivor . the film was about a crew who had all been killed in the crash and were all unknowingly ghosts around the plane . at the end of the film , all the ghosts had gone due to all the bodies being found . it certainly wasn ' t\nsole survivor\n.\nwow ! i remember this film , which i saw when it was shown on tv in the uk in the late 70s . i remember the plane ( it was a b24 or b25 ) and i remember richard basehart , recognising him from voyage to the bottom of the sea . i dont remember william shatner , which is odd as i was a real star trek fan as a young kid . i remember that one of the ghosts was not recovered . . . i think that the others had bailed out with a dingy , believing the navigator that they were over the water off the ( libyan ? ) coast . one stayed with the plane ) the pilot ? ) and had survived the crash ( the sole survivor ? ) he had taken shelter from the sun under the tail section , which broke off and crushed him . this is why the air accident investigation team didnt find his body . they couldnt understand how there were no bodies , until one of the investigators realised that the navigator ( who had survived - the other play on the ' sole survivor ' title ) had got the position wrong - but he bailed out first and survived the drop . as i recall basehart was the navigator . yes , i too wish i could get a copy !\nbill , however , is unaware of this snag until a former , elderly and wealthy resident of the establishment dies , bequeathing him the princely sum of \u00a310 , 000 in her will . long dreaming of escaping to the warm climes of the south of france from wet 1950s london , darling attempts to hand in his notice and is outraged when the manager points out that he cannot .\nsorry i too am unable to find the film or title most are looking for , black and white for sure . saw it as a kid and like the ghosts i too have been waiting ever since , best film ever .\ni was reminded of the existence of ' no secrets ' , a total turkey which inexplicably teams oliver reed , peter cushing and keenan wynn .\ni too have been trying to find this film for years - and am still confused ! i agree entirely with those that say there were no survivors , and particularly with what ray mitcham says - that is spot on . thing is i think the title was flight of the phoenix , but obviously not the film with jimmy stewart in , maybe a made for tv film with the same name ? but also - not an episode of anything , it was a full length flm . so - anyone out there know about the film ray and i are talking about !\nwow ! can ' t believe i ' ve found this thread , i ' ve wondered about this film for years . there are definitely two different films being discussed here , mind you , and the original answer to the question posed is not sole survivor . i can remember watching this film and i can also remember what it ' s called . there is a very good reason why no one can find it in any database and that ' s because it shares the name of a very famous film which will dominate any internet search results . the film is called catch 22 , not to be confused by the famous 1970 film of the same name . saw it listed sometime back so settled down to watch . of course it was the 1970 film i was watching . disappointment . hope this helps .\nthanks for all the information that has appeared here . i have also been trying to retrieve a copy of the film , and if memory serves , the title was\nsoul survivor\n, not\nsole survivor\n. this would also make more sense in light of the survival of the souls but not the actual flesh and blood crew members .\ni remember seeing a movie late one night many years ago where the crew of a ww2 american bomber are hanging around the wreck of their aircraft in the desert . every time they try to leave they always end up back at the wreck . i seem to remember too that they were very fastidious about where they left their equipment . i must have asked a hundred people if they remember the film , but no luck . this has been the only place where people have described the story the way i remember it . the film sounds like\nsole survivor\n1969 tv movie staring william shatner which used the wreck of a b25 - j mitchell bomber . i hope this is the same film your thinking of . is it available on video anywhere ?\nit ' s called sole survivor . . i remembered it as a kid . you can watch the film in its entirety at urltoken urltoken\nthere is a scene in which oskar ' s drum so confuses a nazi marching band that it switches from a nazi hymn to\nthe blue danube .\nthe crashing obviousness of this scene aside , i must confess that the symbolism of the drum failed to involve me .\nthe movie i ' m trying to find the name of is airliner crashes at airport and the pilot walks away from the crash in a daze . then end of the movie he is found strapped in his seat in the cockpit .\nit is sole survivor . i saw it once as a child and it stuck in my mind . the whole film is online here : urltoken\noh how disappointing , i was hoping there would be an answer for me here . i too remember watching this film as a child in the 1970 ' s an have been trying to find it for years . i ' ve seen sole survivor and flight of the phoenix . it is most certainly neither of these . the film i ' m looking for was black & white and the airmen did not know they were dead . that ' s the big twist at the end . i ' m fairly sure it was a feature film too , not an episode of twilight zone . it was shown on a weekend afternoon . i hope someone can get to the bottom of this one !\ni agree with the men not knowing that they are dead and remember the film as . so g in b & w ; for most of it and only being in colour at the end when the rescuers arrive and i think john wayne ' s son was in it . i so have been trying to find out the name of this film for years\nthe movie invites us to see the world through the eyes of little oskar , who on his third birthday refuses to do any more growing up because the world is such a cruel place . my problem is that i kept seeing oskar not as a symbol of courage but as an unsavory brat ; the film ' s foreground obscured its larger meaning .\nhow frustrating ! i was hoping by the time i had got to the end of the discussion that the film would have been found . i told my daughter that she must watch ' flight of the pheonix ' as i thought that it was this film , and i was so disappointed that it was the wrong film . i remember that they crashed because they thought the heat from the dessert sand was the sea , and they were trying to crash into the sea . and i remember the twist at the end being so good as i didn ' t have a clue that they were really all dead until the army came to clear the wreckage and they were invisible ghosts ! i would love to see this film again . . . has been a long time .\na sewage farm . in what way is it a farm ? is there a farm shop ?\n- jack dee\ni have just watched ' sole survivor ' on google videos and after only a few minutes realised it was crap and definitely not the film i remember . the film that was so good we were all moved by , began with the plane flying over what they think is the sea but is the rolling sands of the desert . they think they can jump out with a lifeboat . they do not know they are dead right to the end of the film , which is what makes it so good and definitely not like the weak ' sole survivor ' plot . i think it is ' flight of the ? ' because i was surprised when i discovered it wasn ' t ' flight of the phoenix ' as an adult . please stop telling those of us who have seen this amazing film , that it is sole survivor . it definitely isn ' t ! ! ! !\nthe responders with\nthe sole survivor\nas a cbs 1970 tv movie are correct . but there is a play on words in the title that nobody hit upon yet , although malcolm is close . while the cowardly navigator ( richard baseheart , in a post - voyage to the bottom of the sea role ) was the sole survivor of the downed bomber , the movie did , in fact , end with all but one of the crew - ghosts recovered ( disappeared ) . the movie did close with a scene of the remaining crewman playing baseball by himself - the sole\nsurvivor\namong the\nghosts .\nwilliam shatner , fresh from\nstar trek\nwas also in the film , as the investigating officer .\nwell , ive just watched ' sole survivor ' on dvd . its the one with william shatner playing an air force crash investigator . in this film it is clear that the crew know they are ghosts right at the start , and that its been seventeen years since the crash . the film i remember has the whole crew ( no survivors ) believing that they are still alive . it doesn ' t come to light that they are all dead until right at the end of the film when a helicopter turns up at the crash site and freaks the crew out ( no helicopters in general service at the time of the crash ) and the helicopter crew cant see the ( dead ) crewmen . there is a scene in sole survivor with a helicopter but this is half way into the film , long after the plane wreck has been found , and not the initial discovery .\ni am looking at the box of ' sole survivor ' a made for tv movie starring william basehart , william shatner and lou antonio . the synopsis reads . . . . ' shatner delivers a credible performance as lt . col . josef gronke , the head of a team of air force investigators that fly to the site of a wreck of a b - 24 bomber that crashed in the libyan desert , stunning the world with its discovery 16 years later . ' . . . . etc . the story starts with the crew awaiting rescue , not really believing they are dead . basehart is the navigator who baled out on them during an attack by fighter planes , surviving 36 hours in the waters of the mediterranean before being picked up as the sole survivor of the crew . the film was produced by cinema center 100 productions and also stars vince edwards as the major who is determined to get to the truth , which he does in the end .\nand here we are at the central problem of the movie : should i , as a member of the audience , decide to take the drum as , say , a child ' s toy protest against the marching cadences of the german armies ? or should i allow myself to be annoyed by the child ' s obnoxious habit of banging on it whenever something ' s not to his liking ? even if i buy the wretched drum as a moral symbol , i ' m still stuck with the kid as a pious little bastard .\ni am trying to name a film but no movie databases has the answer . a plane has crashed and the cast of the film turn out to be ghosts who ' disappear ' as their bodies are recovered . in the end there is one sole ' ghost ' until the searchers return and find his body under the tail plane . have i imagined this as no one seems to know what i ' m talking about ?\nthis rings a bell with me . i ' m pretty sure it was an episode of the twilight zone , though , not a film as such . if memory serves it may even have been directed by steven spielberg . the crew of us airmen had crashed their ww2 plane when a bomb got stuck in the bomb bay . they could not die properly until their remains had been found but their ghosts were accessible though some sort of time portal . the last scene was of the final guy being discovered beneath the wrecked tail plane .\nbasically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley\u2019s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . \u2026\nshot in zambia as some kind of vanity project on the part of the director , ( although i ' m convinced that there also had to be some kind of tax write off involved ) , this supposed comedy is utterly dismal . to give you some idea of how bad it is , the above clip is actually one of the\nthe film is sole survivor and is available on ebay , i saw it last night for the first time in about 25 / 30 years . i remembered it clearly , it ' s the kind of movie that stays in your mind . there might be a few different versions of this film around due to commercial breaks some footage may be missing in some versions . let ' s hope it will get a proper official dvd release one day , fully restored and with plenty of extras .\nroger ebert was born on this day in 1942 , and died a little over five years ago . i owe a good part of my success\u2026\ntwilight zone series 2 . episode 6a . king nine will not return . drove me mad for nearly 30yrs trying to find this . i had the memory of it but not the title . i thought it was a film too .\nthis film is not sole survivor . it was a black and white film . the crew did not know they were dead . it was only when each of them was discovered that it dawned on them and they disappeared . unfortunately there appear to be 3 films that have the same sort of plot . . . . . does anyone else remember this one ? ? ? ? ? ?\ni remember the film as well and have been trying to find the answer for years ( with no luck ) . a few more details of the film that i remember was that the crews ' only entertainment was with a baseball and glove which one of them had . i seem to remember that all the crews ' bodies were found except the captain ' s ( his body was under the plane ) leaving him ( his spirit ) all alone at the wreck . did not the film end with him playing with glove and ball on his own ? please , someone , for my sanity ' s sake , come up with the right answer ( it is not ' sole survivor ' ) .\nactually , i don ' t think little oskar is at all innocent in this film ; a malevolence seems to burn from his eyes , and he ' s compromised in his rejection of the world ' s evil by his own behavior as the most spiteful , egocentric , cold and calculating character in the film ( all right : except for adolf hitler ) .\nthis film is not currently playing on mubi but 30 other great films are . see what\u2019s now showing\ni think the film you ' re thinking of is\nsole survivor\n. the plane was an american bomber which crashed in the desert . the crew spend their days playing baseball , not realising they ' re dead , until many years later a recovery crew locates their bodies .\nit is not ' sole survivor ' . william shatner was not in it . it was filmed in b & w . ; it was not an episode of the twilight zone . please , can anyone remember the name of the b & w ; version , and stop telling us we watched shatner in a colour version ? there is obviously more than one version of this film , and i am not after ' sole survivor ' . the ' survivors ' did not know they were ghosts until they started to realise that they could not leave the area of the crashed plane . they did play with a baseball . at the very end of the film one ghost was left alone in the desert as his body was never recovered . please help ? !\nthere are more than one sole survivor movie . the film discussed here - - a b - 25 crashed in the desert during wwii with the ghosts of the crew trapped near the plane - - is definitely one of them . i worked on the movie which was directed by my friend and mentor paul stanley and featured vince edwards , richard baseheart and william shattner . it was a great experience spending a month in the desert on the el mirage dry lake bed . see : urltoken this was the first of a series of tv movies made by cbs referred to as cc100s ( cinema center / 100 minutes ) . as far as i know , it has not been released on dvd .\nthis intriguing film is called\nsole survivor\n, and was a tv movie made in 1970 , directed by paul stanley and starring william shatner . this film had\nhaunted\nme for years until i finally tracked the title down after many , many lengthy internet searches . on at least two occasions when talking about films in the pub , someone has asked\nanyone remember that film where there ' s a crashed bomber and a crew that don ' t know there dead ?\nfor many years i have searched for the title of this film as i remember watching it as a young child so it definitely left an impression on me . all i can remember is there were no survivors , it was set in ww 1 or ww 2 and was a full length movie not part of a tv series . . i cannot remember william shatner in it and i think i would have as i was a star trek fan . it was not flight of the phoenix as they survived and soul survivor indicates there was a survivor . . they played baseball to pass the time until they were rescued . it was only , many years later , one by one , when their bones were found that the men started to disappear . i remember at the end of the film there is one man playing baseball with glove and ball in hand . his body i think was never going to be found for some reason , but it is only at the end of the film that they all realise they are dead . i think maybe it has the name of the plane in the title . .\nequally shocked and outraged , bill seeks out his old chums with a plan . he ' s not spent all of the inheritance , and there ' s just about enough left to buy the hotel ' s lease - now all they must do is convince a trio of northern investors to back them with the last of the funds they require .\ni started trying to find the name of this film after seeing\nking 9 will not return\nlast night on netflix and remembered how much i enjoyed the ghost story of the bomber crew . i watched sole survivor and it is definitely not the film . another reason i know it is not , is that i saw the film in the 1960 ' s while still living at home before going off to college in 1968 . sole survivor was made in 1970 . maybe the reason it is so hard to find , is that it wasn ' t a movie . king 9 was a 30 minute ( 22 actual minutes ) tv episode . sole survivor 1 : 36 minute movie . what i remember of the film , is that it probably was a one hour tv episode . perhaps of amaing stories , scifi theatre , outer limites or some such tv series . i hope someone comes up with the one so many of us want to find . the unknowing ghosts that disappear one by one as their remains are found till only one remains .\ni am trying to name a film but no movie databases has the answer . a plane has crashed and the cast of the film turn out to be ghosts who ' ' disappear ' ' as their bodies are recovered . in the end there is one sole ' ' ghost ' ' until the searchers return and find his body under the tail plane . have i imagined this as no one seems to know what i ' ' m talking about ? | notes and queries | urltoken\ndear me ! i wish any future contributors would have a very good read of the above comments before they say anything else .\nhi everyone . i watched the flight of the phoenix recently all the way to the end hoping it was the film i remembered - waiting for the twist ! course it didn ' t happen . the description of sole / soul survivor just don ' t seem to fit in with the fact no - one was alive and the twist definitely came right at the end . i just wish i could see it again . . .\nborgnine was not , i repeat not a flight engineer in flight of the phoenix . the movie i asked about is based on the true incident which took place in the everglades in the early 1970s . i believe it also had kim basinger as a stewardess who survived the crash .\nsole survivor is indeed the film in question , although you might not recognise it from its description in most databases . they tend to emphasise the come - uppance of the now senior aviator who was responsible for the crash , rather than the more interesting supernatural aspect that everyone actually remembers the film for . any similarity to the twilight zone episode is probably down to the fact rod serling also wrote sole survivor . it ' s likely that he drew inspiration from the discovery of the crashed wwii us bomber ' lady be good ' in the libyan desert during the late ' 50 ' s .\nthe movie juxtaposes oskar ' s one - man protest with the horror of world war ii . but i am not sure what the juxtaposition means . did i miss everything ? i ' ve obviously taken the story on a literal level , but i don ' t think that means i misread the film as it stands .\nthank you one and all ! i ' ve been trying to remember the name of this film for 20 years ! have now checked ' sole survivor ' on imdb and it is the right title . excellent !\nit is not sole survivor . i remember it on tv in the late 70s , and we had a colour tv , it was black and white and the crew did not know that they were dead . i remember it being a class film , but don ' t remember the name , ghost bomber rings a bell .\nnot looking good - reply to query to the american film institute : thank you for your interest in afi . we are sorry to report that we have been unable to identify the film you described . to continue your quest , you might wish to contact the following organizations with your question : library of congress motion picture and television reading room : urltoken academy of motion picture arts and sciences margaret herrick library : urltoken the reference librarians at these organizations may be able to direct you to the film you seek . we wish you success in your search . best , the afi staff\nthe film i ' m looking for is definitely a black and white film . i have been looking for this film for years . the characters did not know they were dead . i remember my my mum jumping up saying\nthey ' re ghosts !\nalthough a lot seems similar to sole survivor , it ' s not quite right . i think there must be 3 films that we remember . i remember that someone walked away from the plane only to find themselves back where they started . i also remember they disappeared as they were found . for years i thought it was flight of the phoenix . but having watched it recently is a very different film . i ' m sure it ' s\nflight\nsomething though .\nyep , almost certain you are talking about ' sole survivor ' . a great film - and i even have a copy on vhs ! can ' t track it down anywhere else as i ' d like a ' restored ' version if possible , ah well .\nan interview with writer / director boots riley about his incendiary new film ,\nsorry to bother you .\ni saw this movie . . . i ' m also trying to figure out the name . it streams instantly on netflix , and i can ' t remember the title , but thought the ending of lost was a rip off of the plot , lol . they have a support group of the survivors and each one disappears ( evidently as their issues are resolved ) and the psychologist leading the group is the last to figure out she ' s dead too .\nthe film has been adapted by the west german filmmaker volker schlondorff from the 1959 novel by gunter grass , who helped with the screenplay . it chronicles the career of little oskar , who narrates his own life story starting with his mother ' s conception in a potato patch . oskar is born into a world divided : in the years after world war i , both germans and poles live in the state of danzig , where they get along about as well as catholics and protestants in belfast .\n1956 british comedy film about a hotel porter who comes into money . stars frankie howerd , ruby murray , dennis price , dorothy bromley , katherine kath and others .\ni can ' t believe so many other people are trying to find the name of this film . i watched this on tv about 25years ago and have always remembered it and tried to find out what it was called . it definitely wasn ' t flight of the phoenix because it is on tv at this very minute and it has prompted me to start looking again . the description of sole survivor sounds similar but i was sure that the film i saw was black and white . i definitely remember the navigator surviving because he had told the crew to bail out over the sea but in fact it was the desert and the crew haunted him when they realised they were dead . maybe there are two versions of this film , the colour one and also the older b / w one , would love to know for sure .\ni started thinking about this film after visiting a ww2 aircraft crash site in the far north of scotland ( near gairloch ) . it is a war grave , and there is still debris from the plan scattered over the hillside and the loch . but back to the film . this is what i remember . it is black and white . the crew do not know that they are dead . as their bodies are discovered , they\nvanish\n. they do play baseball , and the guy with the mitt and ball does not get found . i don ' t think it was called\nsole surviver\n, i think the title was longer and might have had the name of the plane .\nwell , having posted this query . . . and not having seen sole survivor ( or not ) i would like to thank all those looking in and who have answered my query but i still think that the answer is buried under the plane . what is driving me mad now is that i also believe it is referred to in another film , mid 80 ' s possibly , where someone says , when seeing a movie on black and white tv , ' hey , i remember this . . . the guy is buried under the tail of the plane . ' so is this a case where the film is actually sole survivor , but the on - screen reference has sown a seed that is making us all think we have seen the film . . . but with a different ending ?\ni can confirm the film is not sole / soul survivor . the original black and white film was shown in the uk pre 1968 and followed a different plot to sole survivour . the b52 and crew crash land in the desert , try to walk away but always return , try to fix the plane , then start to disappear slowly . eventualy the remaining crew think they are rescued . however the rescue party find the remaining bodies and bury the surviours - who all disappear . it is not sole survior\nincredible ! i ' ve been thinking about this film since i was a kid ( i ' m 35 now ) . i think i only caught the end of the movie and it left such an impression on me i vowed to watch the whole film one day . every now and then it would pop into my head and i would think i must try to find the name of it sometime . so , tonight finally i type in a long - shot search into google and stumble across this thread ! i can ' t believe it ! i so agree with many of you who thought this film was a figment of their imagination . what was it about this film that hooked us so much - i mean , i was a little girl , my main joy was my cindy dolls , ballet and ponies - why would a movie about war , airplanes & dead pilots leave such an impression ? ! anyway , after reading all your posts i ' ve just been on ebay and bought a copy of sole survivor . i don\u0092t know if it ' s going to be the one i remember , but i ' ll let you know when i ' ve received it and watched it - fingers crossed .\neverybody please stop trying to guess the movie if : you think it is in color or you think that william shatner is in it , because neither of those things is true . it is a black and white film , and the crew of the crashed plane don ' t ever stray very far from it , nor do i remember seeing any other characters aside from them . i also remember a harmonica being in the mix . it was a slow paced film from what i can recall . i ' m glad i ' m not alone in this , but sad we can not figure it out ! doug\nonce again , i have to disagree with both eric and steve . this is not the movie we are talking about . the film , which we are trying to trace has no survivors . the final survivor out of the crew of ghosts , appears to have been left by the\nrescuers\nbut as they drive away after apparently finding no trace of him , they find his body several miles away . this enable his\nghost\nto disappear the same way as all the others . i say again in the film we are trying to trace there are no survivors at all . all the ghosts are released from their limbo .\nif we come in armed with the grass novel and a sheaf of reviews , it ' s maybe just possible to discipline ourselves to read\nthe tin drum\nas a solemn allegorical statement . but if we take the chance of just watching what ' s on the screen , schlondorff never makes the connection . we ' re stuck with this cretinous little kid , just when europe has enough troubles of its own .\nlets just make one thing clear the film is not soul / survivor , i watched this film for which we all seek on a colour tv in either 1977 - 78 , this film was black and white end off . i remember the brilliant twist at the end and i ' ve never forgotten it , i remember one of them saying its all going dark as 1 by 1 they where found and put into body bags with 1 left behind under the tail end of the plane and i ' m sure he shouts look under the tail but obviously no - one can hear him and the crash team leave and he is left with this baseball bat and ball . it ' s haunted me for over 33 years this film and its not the bloody twilight zone either , i ' ve searched everywhere for it but seems to have vanished !\nanother voice here confirming that sole survivor is not the film that many of us are seeking . i ordered that and watched it this afternoon , and , good as it is , it isn ' t the film in which the characters gradually realise they are dead as their bodies are found . the two films are so similar , though , it ' s seems likely that they are based on the same root story .\nno answer , but it isn ' t sole survivor . i saw it many years ago but we had a color tv and it was black and white and not a tv episode but a full feature film . hope someone comes up with it because i loved the movie and would love to own it .\nthanks , ray . the film definitely has no survivors and nothing to do with a navigation error - it definitely has baseball in it and there are no survivors at the end , all the ghosts are laid to rest . please keep insisting !\nof the film . reed affects a poor american accent in his role as a bumbling us marine , ( i ' m guessing that the director would have liked to describe the character as ' clouseau - esque ' - in his dreams ) , sent to an african dictatorship to recover a crashed us satellite . he has lots of ' hilarious ' encounters with various ' wacky ' characters , played by the aforementioned actors , taking time off from their paid holiday in zambia . the ' special ' effects are anything but - the budget was clearly miniscule , the script dreadful and the direction abysmal . really ,\nan interview with terry gilliam , director of\nthe man who killed don quixote .\nthanks for your reply paul kennedy . i am not saying that you are not right , but i just want to find this film . like so many others , i have remembered watching it as a child and it never left me . some time ago i bought sole survivor and it didn ' t seem to be quite the film i remembered . as children though , i doubt that we would really know film titles . i find it hard to believe that a film can be made such as the catch 22 which you mention , and there not be one mention of it on the whole internet . so far , in my humble opinion , the most likely explanations are that we simply remember the film a little differently from so long ago , or there is actually another edit as someone has said . every version of sole survivor i have seen ( aside from the one i saw on tv as a child ) has been the u . s . version it seems . could there be a european / uk edit ? someone has mentioned on here that they have seen two versions . i have spent some time looking for catch 22 , and variants on that title , but nothing yet .\nallegories have trouble standing for something else if they are too convincing as themselves . that is the difficulty with\nthe tin drum ,\nwhich is either ( a ) an allegory about one person ' s protest against the inhumanity of the world , or ( b ) the story of an obnoxious little boy .\ni remember this film , but like so many others , do not know the name of it . i know it is not sole survivor or any other mentioned so far . this film was black and white and made in the 1960s . the story line was 6 crew members that played baseball around a crashed wwii bomber . they couldn ' t go very far away from the plane though and had to always return to it . they did not know they were dead . that was the twist , and the viewer never knew they were dead either . one by one the crew disappeared as each body was discovered until the last one was discovered under the tail of the plane ."]}

folks like vargas picked up on it - and i think any artist can still admire and learn from him today . if you can walk away from watching this without humming the bars of no foolin ' or any of the other music . . . you ' re soul is lost .\neddie cantor , rudy vallee and other ziegfeld stars appear in the story of a struggling chorus girl ( mary eaton ) .\nit would take busby berkeley to take what ziegfeld tried to do on stage to give it full expression on film . it would also take rival mgm studio to preserve the legacy of florenz ziegfeld with their films , the great ziegfeld , ziegfeld girl , and ziegfeld follies . but paramount got the real deal in glorifying the american girl as the man himself made an appearance in this early talkie . with a minor backstage plot about mary eaton who here and in real life epitomized the ziegfeld girl paramount did this film where eaton like ruby keeler in 42nd street gets to become a star , the real follies with real ziegfeld performers like eddie cantor and helen morgan made appearances . rudy vallee did appear on broadway as well , but it was for rival producer george white . other than the story line glorifying the american girl is like so many early talkie musicals just a filmed stage play . but this is a valuable historical record of what the man ' s fabled follies must have been like for theater audiences . too bad florenz ziegfeld didn ' t live another decade , he died in 1932 . had he done so he might have made a mark in film . this film done at paramount ' s astoria studio is a hint of what he could have accomplished . mary eaton herself had a most tragic life . you might remember her as the young love interest in the marx brothers debut film , the cocoanuts , also a photographed stage play . like her fellow cast member helen morgan , eaton fell pray to too much prohibition booze and her health went south . for the historically minded among us , glorifying the american girl is a valuable piece of cinema .\njoan terry , a girl from the country wants to become a broadway star , but this proves to be not so easy .\nnothing remastered here this is the same print that was available 8 years ago ! i think this is deceiving when . the film was restored , to the length of 96 minutes , with the original technicolor sequences , by the ucla film and television the back description says\ncolor | 1929 | 96 minutes\nb & w ; | 1929 | 94 minutes\nis what you get . the remastered print is still at ucla and amazon knows that ! goto youtube , search glorifying the american girl ( 1929 ) , stjn00 uploaded a actual remastered clip of the\nremastered\nversion\ndon\u2019t tell people that man is a helpless , twisted , drooling , sniveling , neurotic weakling . show the world an american kind of man , for a change .\nsome of the films from the paramount collection which have been preserved and restored by the archive include : the wild party ( 1929 , dorothy arzner ) ; morocco ( 1930 , josef von sternberg ) ; the virginian ( 1929 , victor fleming ) ; the scoundrel ( 1935 , ben hecht and charles macarthur ) ; remember the night ( 1940 , mitchell leisen ) ; high , wide and handsome ( 1937 , rouben mamoulian ) ; the moon ' s our home ( 1936 , william a . seiter ) ; road to utopia ( l945 , hal walker ) ; glorifying the american girl ( 1929 , millard webb ) .\nrand has had an enduring legacy on american political thinking . but one area that remains to be studied thoroughly in the popular press is rand\u2019s direct and indirect influence on hollywood .\nthe angry - girl zines , coming in homocore ' s wake , took advantage of an intact , politically fertile community to spread their own message . in the past two years the readership of girl zines has multiplied exponentially . this is largely due to their regular coverage in sassy magazine . five years ago , the teen - girl magazine sassy came into being , offering a far more realistic , politically risky vision of teenage life than any other magazine on the market . each issue features a\nzine of the month\ncolumn , often girl zines . with a readership around 3 million , sassy has been an effective means of spreading the word .\nthe section on glorifying depravity is particularly interesting given rand\u2019s own obsession with and glorification of serial killer william edward hickman . in the 1920s , after hickman had killed and dismembered a 12 - year - old girl , rand wrote that the murderer was a \u201cgenuinely beautiful soul\u201d who had \u201cthe true , innate psychology of a superman . \u201d but that\u2019s a discussion for another time . the entire pamphlet is a fascinating artifact of the cold war .\npretty girl is like a melody\nopens the show with badly staged fashion show representing the march of time from 1919 to 1928 . we ' re tossed right into the main theme of\nmcclure ' s messages , however , weren ' t written on a bathroom wall but in a small fanzine called my super secret circulating through the riot girl network . riot girl ( or grrrrl ) was started by a group of musicians and writers and friends who decided to aggressively co - opt the values and rhetoric of punk , 15 years later , in the name of feminism - - or as they call it ,\nthe revolution girl - style now .\nriot girl was organized in the wake of the\nangry girl\nmood , which has overwhelmed the postpunk scene in the form of confrontational female - led bands ( bikini kill , hole , babes in toyland , calamity jane ) , and a flood of fanzines by and about women ( jigsaw , sister nobody , chainsaw , girl germs , bikini kill ) . this anger didn ' t feel like a fad , it felt like hope - - compelling girls to organize weekly meetings , start calling themselves soldiers , messengers .\neven if you wear the cool clothes , you\u2019re wearing them wrong . because nobody wants to see the girl with the overlarge ass try to squeeze her way into those tight , high - waisted jeans .\nthere\u2019s a lot to like about this film , but where glorifying the american girl really excels is in its final third , that previously - mentioned lengthy stage sequence . though the extravagance is pared down slightly and a few interjections are made to follow gloria\u2019s experience with the show , this section of the film really makes the viewer feel as though they\u2019re sitting in a theater watching a ziegfeld show . the lovely music , the stunning costumes , the lavish stage decoration\u2026 if you\u2019re interested in the follies , this is a real treat . time travel isn\u2019t possible , so we can\u2019t go back and see the shows first - hand . there are other films that recreate the follies , but few seem as close to watching a real show as this one does .\nif the riot girls are grounded in the girl - punk past , they are also rooted in modern american feminism . it ' s surprising how many are daughters of 70s women ' s libbers - - and the children of divorce . for all their anger and violence , many of these girls come from nurturing , healthy mother - daughter relationships . allison wolfe of bratmobile and girl germs says ,\nmy mom ' s real cool ; she was a 60s feminist .\nd . c . riot girl organizer erika reinstein was first turned on to these ideas by reading her mother ' s books : the\nold school\nbetty friedan , gloria steinem . for christmas her mother gave her susan faludi ' s backlash .\nwhen show boat was presented in 1927 by florenz ziegfeld , it was unlike anything the great showman had yet produced . his legendary follies were really just vaudeville shows on a grand scale , featuring popular headliners of the day in unrelated scenes . legendary performers such as fanny brice , will rogers , w . c . fields and sophie tucker did their acts along side huge production numbers featuring scantily clad young women . ziegfeld was \u2018glorifying the american girl\u2019 , he claimed . he also presented light musical comedies such as sally and sunny with music by jerome kern . these were shows with wispy plots that were usually just vehicles for the star in question .\n20th century - fox gussied up its 1954 hit three coins in the fountain for the 1960s , and the result was the pleasure seekers . three american girls in search of wealthy husbands head to madrid . ann - margaret is an aspiring performer , carol lynley . . .\nas of now there are approximately ten weekly riot girl meetings nationwide , more than 20\ngirlcore\nfanzines , and bands multiplying faster than can be counted . this summer washington , d . c . , hosted the first - ever national riot girl convention with workshops in fanzine making and surviving sexual abuse , and long , drawn - out jam sessions . the members of riot girl are quite young , ranging in age from about 14 to 25 , although i once encountered a woman wearing a riot grrrl t - shirt who was at least 45 . the unofficial centers of the girl revolution are the punk - rock meccas of olympia , washington , and washington , d . c . , but the movement keeps growing and dispersing , drowning itself out then resurfacing .\nin the early part of the century , musical theater consisted of vaudeville shows , operettas imported from europe or minstrel shows . in the 1910s a new type of musical that was purely american began to be seen . jerome kern , along with lyricist p . g . wodehouse , created a string of this light , american style comedies about young people on long island estates and their love troubles . once again , wispy plots that featured amusing tunes for the stars to sing .\nwhile motion pictures have a strict code that forbids us to offend or insult any group or nation\u2014while we dare not present in an unfavorable light the tiniest balkan kingdom\u2014we permit ourselves to smear and slander american businessmen in the most irresponsibly dishonest manner .\nthe series includes anna may wong in ' ' the toll of the sea ' ' ( 1922 ) ; ' ' liliom ' ' ( 1930 ) starring charles farrell ; a 1925 ' ' wizard of oz ' ' with piano accompaniment ; ben hecht ' s ' ' specter of the rose ' ' ( 1946 ) starring judith anderson ; ' ' group theater screen tests ' ' ( 1937 ) , featuring luther adler , morris carnovsky , lee j . cobb and elia kazan ; ' ' glorifying the american girl ' ' ( 1929 ) , with helen morgan , rudy vallee and eddie cantor , and ' ' the shining future , ' ' in which frank sinatra , cary grant , bing crosby and benny goodman appear .\nthis satirical look at the ambivalent relationship between hollywood power brokers and african - american performers marked the writing , producing , and directing debut of robert townsend . the filmmaker also stars as bobby taylor , a struggling actor looking for his big break despite . . .\nthe girl revolutionaries , many of whom are too old and worldly to reasonably be called\ngirls ,\ntake this name because they remember that loud , untamed figure , because their utopia lies in the past . the bikini kill girls often talk nostalgically about an early\ngirl culture\nthat is destroyed upon contact with boys . that ' s when competition and jealousy interfere . bikini kill often chant ,\nstruggle against the j - word , killer of girl love .\nif that seems rather innocuous , more interesting is their sense that this\norganic\ngirl community allowed an unregulated sexuality .\ngirls ' first erotic experiences are usually with each other ,\nsays hanna ,\nbut we ' re taught to forget that .\nmore prudent financially ) shoot the whole film in two - strip technicolor , he and cantor brought in busby berkeley to direct the numbers ( his film debut ) and berkeley delivered a series of dazzling ensembles , many of them with the overhead kaleidoscope shots that would be his trademark throughout his career ; for glorifying the american girl director webb and his choreographer , ted shawn ( husband of modern dancer ruth st . denis and dance teacher of myrna loy ! ) , keep their cameras at a discreet distance from the action and don\u2019t move them during the number . the only time the camera goes overhead is when we least want it to \u2014 during mary eaton\u2019s big solo , when we want the camera front - and - center , astaire - rogers style , so we can see how good she is .\nted shawn is the imaginative choreographer who arranges the dancers up and down ziegfeld\u2019s stairs dressed as exotic animals , graceful swans , and art nouveau beauties clutching glass globes . shawn would create the jacob\u2019s pillow dance festival and was instrumental in forming a uniquely american branch of modern dance .\nmurray was the best known and easily the most flamboyant . several years later she would star with john gilbert in the extravagant stroheim feature the merry widow , photographed by oliver marsh . mary eaton was the star of the 1929 musical variety feature glorifying the american girl , directed by millard webb , but with the guiding hand of the redoubtable florenz ziegfeld . the great george folsey , who ended his career by teaching at the afi , photographed it . hope hampton had just recently starred in a clarence brown picture called light in the dark , and wore that film\u2019s wardrobe for the test . a french born cinematographer named alfred ortlieb , whose credits on imdb end in 1926 , photographed that film . the film was long considered lost until a near complete print was discovered in the garage of a former projectionist and was restored at the george eastman house . such are the ongoing amazing stories of discovery and digital restoration that we read about weekly . one can only wonder if movies from our own digital infancy will be so lucky .\ncuriously , as far as i can tell , she didn\u2019t sign her name to this pamphlet . the only credit is given to the motion picture alliance for the preservation of american ideals in beverly hills , california . collective credit for the work of one woman ? sounds a lot like communism to me .\ntitled the \u201cscreen guide for americans , \u201d the pamphlet was distributed in 1947 . michigan state university has a copy of the guide , which advises producers on everything from spotting communist subversion in their writers to the practical advice of how to avoid celebrating \u201cthe common man . \u201d as rand explains , glorifying \u201cthe common man\u201d is \u201ccommunist doctrine\u201d which \u201cpreaches the reign of mediocrity . \u201d i\u2019m not making this stuff up , i swear .\nfeminist\ngirl groups\n- - from early british bands like the slits and the raincoats to americans like the avengers - - are nothing new in punk . in the early 80s , bush tetras sang ,\ni don ' t want to walk out on the street no more / too many creeps ,\nand before that the slits declared ,\ni don ' t want to be no one ' s little girl .\nwomen in bands had begun using the form of punk rage for their own purposes , focusing specifically on women ' s experiences .\nsomething often left unacknowledged is that vassar students , living in close proximity to one of the fashion capitals of the world , and mostly coming from privileged enough backgrounds to buy expensive clothing , work in tandem with the fashion industry . just walk around campus and you will see any number of students wearing tommy hilfiger , calvin klein , j . crew , american apparel or urban outfitters . by glorifying and normalizing these fashion giants , vassar culture glorifies , normalizes and inherently supports an industry which perpetuates an idealized , sometimes unhealthy body type . in september , tim gunn wrote a powerful editorial for the washington post stating just as much . gunn wrote :\nunder the american system , all men are equal before the law . therefore , if anyone is classified as \u201ccommon\u201d\u2014he can be called \u201ccommon\u201d only in regard to his personal qualities . it then means that he has no outstanding abilities , no outstanding virtues , no outstanding intelligence . is that an object of glorification ?\njames stewart stars alongside judy garland , lana turner , and hedy lamarr in this musical from director robert z . leonard . telling the story of three women who jump at the opportunity to perform on broadway , ziegfeld girl has received a full - screen . . .\nriot girl olympia first met on a cold night last february when the sky was bright violet , an unreal light . girls started drifting in around six o ' clock , the room slowly filling until there were 17 , sitting on the floor , waiting for something to happen . most were dressed in traditional olympia girl - style : short - cropped dyed hair ; rumpled vintage dresses ; bright woolworth ' s lipstick . allison wolfe , coeditor of girl germs and the unofficial leader , broke the ice :\nok , i mean this meeting is really figuring out what we want riot girl to be here . it ' s a different thing in every city . i personally would like to see us rent out space and put on shows , just put on a whole bunch of shows and blow their minds .\nyes , almost everyone agrees , and we can pass out fanzines about sexism and rape small enough to fit in your pocket at the shows . men can come , but they ' ll have to wear dresses .\nit\u2019s a musical mellerdrammer starring mary eaton as gloria hughes , a young woman with aspirations to be a ziegfeld follies girl\u2026but until such a time as that dream comes true , gloria\u2019s toiling away in the sheet music department of a local department store .\neaton discovers her beau has moved on just before she goes out for the finale in the follies , and you see the emotions hit her as she struggles under the weight of an enormous headpiece that cascades around her like a fountain . ok , so it\u2019s not exactly deep , but at least she doesn\u2019t die of alcohol poisoning or get slapped around like in the exploitational ziegfeld girl .\nglorifying the american girl gives us a rare glimpse into ziegfeld ' s world of the american showgirl . we see gloria , a sheet music sales girl , yearn for the big time , and reach it , but at a cost . gloria is played by genuine ziegfeld star , mary eaton , an actress who didn ' t fare too well in real life , and died in 1948 . she was sister to both doris eaton , another ziegfeld star , and pearl eaton , who choreographed musicals at rko back in the late ' 20s and early ' 30s . gloria has a monstrous stage mother , played by sarah edwards . she says\ndammit\nseveral times during the proceedings . other cast members are edward crandall and dan healy who i believe hail from the new york stage . the\nguest stars\nare helen morgan , rudy vallee , and eddie cantor , who perform in the revue section at the end of the film . there is a completely restored version moulding away at ucla film archive , but unless you go there or to a film\nevent\nthat is featuring it , you ' ll never see it . the dvd print that is out there generally runs 94 out of 96 minutes and presents the revue section in black - and - white instead of two - color technicolor . the early sections of the film are rather sharp in clarity and contrast , with the black - and - white versions of the color footage grainer and less sharp . it ' s still an enjoyable film for buffs even in it ' s public domain version . the upside is that it is not at all expensive like , say , on with the show , a 1929 warners technicolor film which also exsists only in black - and - white , and coming from warner archive is considerably pricier . it won ' t be everyone ' s cup of tea , but it ' s fun for us buffs , and a bargain , at that .\nd . c . riot girl started in the summer of ' 91 , shortly before hanna and bikini kill migrated there . it ' s a younger , more racially diverse group than olympia riot girl , with most of its members in or just out of high school . maybe because the meetings are now led by the emotional cyclone of hanna , they tend to be more personal , less about political organizing : at one meeting a series of girls came out , and at others discussions have involved the members ' feeling , as do many 16 - year - old girls , like they are disappearing .\nonly savages and communists get rich by force\u2014that is , by looting the property of others . it is a basic american principle that each man is free to work for his own benefit and to go as far as his ability will carry him ; and his property is his\u2014whether he has made one dollar or one million dollars .\nif the girl revolution expresses itself in ear - splitting noise , it also happens through writing . girl fanzines , or zines , are time bombs disguised as thick letters . they come with titles like g - force , fantastic fanzine , chainsaw , sister nobody . they are crazy mishmashes of politics , scene reports , top - ten lists , love and hate mail , blurry photographs . all across the country , girls wait to hear from the fanzine network , a phantom community they belong to but never see - - it ' s an underground with no nucleus , built of paper .\nmary eaton is a chorus girl with an internal struggle : does she want the love of edward crandall or the love of teeming millions as she performs in the ziegfeld follies ? the thin plot line is really just an excuse for the production numbers , songs , and sketches contained in this film , along with eddie cantor ' s marvelous tailor bit , and a host of celebrity . . . read more\namerica is the land of the self - made man . say so on the screen .\nafter their zine was reviewed in sassy , molly and allison of girl germs say their mail multiplied overnight :\nwe couldn ' t keep up with it . . . . we got hundreds of letters from teenage girls across the country .\nthe same happened when riot girl was covered there , and bikini kill . one of the most common sights in the apartments of fanzine makers now is piles of letters , often written on pink , flowery stationery , with circles or hearts dotting the i ' s .\ni want to start riot girl in my town ,\nthey write from oklahoma , nevada , alabama .\nyour zine changed my life .\none fan writes ,\ni want to start a band now . since i can ' t really scream in my house , i know i belong on a stage .\nthese girls might be sleeping in canopy beds , but they dream of starting a hardcore band .\nit\u2019s nice to hear mary eaton speak frankly to her boyfriend ( a dreamy edward crandall ) about wanting to live a little and see what she can do before settling down and raising children . he\u2019s visibly hurt , but not petulant or insulting ( like every boyfriend / husband in ziegfeld girl and the dolly sisters ) . he does wait for her and seems genuinely supportive of her success\u2026 , but eventually settles for available girl - next - door gloria shea \u2014 who actually is treated pretty badly by the film : abandoned and hit by a car ! that\u2019s what chasing love gets you\u2026 .\nmarrs was also one of the first women to organize collective punk girl activities in olympia . her girl city store was a punk - rock collective where women sold clothes and artwork . her remarkable 1986 performance piece 50 girls 50 states , in which , she says ,\ni assembled 50 women and told them to make dresses based on a given state and the idea of world peace ,\nwas a twisted beauty pageant , a punk debutante parade , where all girls in outlandish dresses marched down the streets of olympia . one attendee said the spectacle was like a combination\npolitical march and craft show .\nthe proceeds from the reception afterward went to safeplace , a rape - relief shelter . yet although she has been active in the community for years , marrs , like many of the older women i spoke with , is suspicious of the hard - line ideologues of the girl revolution . she feels they may be taking their power for granted .\nit ' s all gaining momentum so fast . but they don ' t realize how long it has taken . how hard it was .\nhere the revolution girl - style becomes a revolution not about spiritual freedom but about bodily freedom . when 424 women are raped in the united states each day and roughly half of those are under 19 , it seems a logical focus for any feminism , particularly a youth movement . for the riot girls , the new world might be nothing more than a world where they can walk down the street at night , as far as they want , even into the early hours of the morning .\nduring his great communist witch hunt of the 1940s and 50s , congressman joseph mccarthy infamously turned his eye to hollywood . mccarthy sought to purge tinseltown of any possible speck of pinko influence . and an organization of conservative activists known as the motion picture alliance for the preservation of american ideals was more than happy to name names of alleged communists working in hollywood and provide any other assistance necessary . they even had rand write up a guide for the movie industry .\nolympia is an important stop on the underground , the birthplace of that quickly evolving cliche , the seattle scene . sub pop and nirvana both have their spiritual roots here . it ' s also home to the dedicated indie label k records , run by candice pedersen and calvin johnson , who ' ve been instrumental in encouraging girl bands . in the summer of ' 91 k hosted the week - long international pop underground convention . more than 50 bands came from all over the world , overrunning the town . the waitresses at the local diner were ruined , serving one table of broke , elated kids after another . the quiet sidewalks were suddenly crowded ; people sat out on curbs and wandered in front of traffic , trying to find friends or idols . the convention opened with girl day , an event allison wolfe and molly neuman , the editors of girl germs , like to call\nprdct ,\npunk rock dream come true . for one night , only girls took the stage : kreviss ( eight ragged girls playing electric guitars ) , jean smith , seven year bitch , rose melberg of tiger trap , members of bikini kill , one after another . tracy , of the band heavens to betsy , who played their first show that night , said breathlessly ,\nit was the most incredible thing in the world .\nmany riot girls see that night as a kind of beginning .\nit is true that there have been vicious congressmen and judges , and politicians who have stolen elections , just as there are vicious men in any profession . but if you present them in a story , be sure to make it clear that you are criticizing particular men\u2014 not the system . the american system , as such , is the best ever devised in history . if some men do not live up to it\u2014let us damn these men , not the system which they betray .\namong a host of treasured american feature films and esteemed documentaries considered for the 2012 registry of the national film preservation board , there is an unlikely hopeful : a film test . it was made in 1922 at the paragon studios in fort lee , new jersey , a decade after d . w . griffith and his cinematographer billy bitzer had migrated to los angeles . ( update : the test was in fact included in this year ' s registry , announced on dec . 19 ) .\nthe girl revolution looks back to a peaceful female prehistory ; they romanticize the past , much like some new - age goddess groups . yet there ' s another quality of this vanished girl that comes across , most strikingly in the performances of bands like bikini kill , hole , and babes in toyland , and that ' s the inherent anarchy of little girls . when kat bjelland of babes in toyland , wearing a sweet velvet dress , sings ,\nvomit my heart / pull my legs apart ,\nshe seems both to be reviving that anarchy and bringing to it an immense exhaustion . it has taken a long time to return to this first self and discover not an innocence but a violated , tantrum - throwing , terrifying girl hero . she is as far from the self - sacrificing , nurturing woman as you can get , and she implies that beneath this daylight woman ' s surface there is another dark , powerful life . the riot girls refuse to cross the threshold into womanhood and lose that ferocious child . they don ' t want her to recede . they want her to ascend .\nis a major piece of american social history \u2014 not only because it was the only film ziegfeld actually produced himself ( more or less ) but also because it\u2019s a marvelous fragment of the 1920\u2019s spirit , finished just before the stock market crash and thereby reproducing the devil - may - care zeitgeist of the pre - depression era . a newspaper clipping informs us that the price of a ticket to the ziegfeld show that gives the film its name is $ 25 \u2014 in 1929 dollars ! apparently broadway tickets aren\u2019t really any more expensive now , when you adjust for inflation , than they were then . \u2014 8 / 21 / 96\nmarilyn miller was not the star of this film . marilyn miller was a beautiful tall , leggy showgirl who was broadway ' s brightest star of the 20s . she was in\nsally\n,\nsunny\n- she also filmed them in 1929 and 1930 . the star of\nglorifying the american girl\nwas mary eaton . mary eaton was picked by ziegfeld in the 20s to be the successor to marilyn miller ( because miss miller was getting uppity . ) she replaced miss miller in\nkid boots\nwith eddie cantor . mary eaton , in my opinion , couldn ' t hold a candle to marilyn miller . i think mary eaton was showcased far better in\nthe cocoanuts\n( 1929 ) . i loved this film because this is my era - i feel so at home watching musicals and movies from the late 20s , early 30s - the songs are so catchy . i loved the start as it showed girls from all over america walking to broadway and instantly went into mary eaton singing\nno foolin '\n. i also liked olive shea - i was glad when she got her\nbuddy\n- she seemed quite a natural actress . i didn ' t particularly like mary eaton - she didn ' t seem very starry eyed - she came across as tough and jaded . helen morgan ' s song i loved but i also thought eddie cantor ' s skit went on far too long .\nthe flicker could also have been made by the conveyance technology employed in the coating machines at the time - the use of festoon loop sticks . early coating machines conveyed the coated film by the use of these long sticks that supported the film and the sticks were driven by chain drives on each side . the film hung over the sticks and where the stick contacted the base side of the coated film , the film ' s thickness - and thus density , could be slightly altered . after processing , that would result in a flicker .\nas nirvana goes number one , some believe that boy punk is dying as an underground and the girls are rising out of their ashes . independent labels ( and majors too ) are scrambling to sign girl bands , and it ' s getting harder to find a show without a woman somewhere in the lineup . yet it has taken years for it to be possible for a contributor to write , in girl germs , no . 3 :\ni hear these girls , girls i don ' t know , girls i have never met , make these same promises and these same threats . they speak to me and i speak to you and i know our time has come .\nyet as the riot girls guard their integrity ,\npurifying\nthemselves against a sick society , they also isolate themselves . everyone in the embassy living room is white , as are most of the riot girls . most come from upper - or upper - middle - class backgrounds . like a religious sect , they huddle together , superior to the rest of the world but also somewhat afraid of it . glorifying\nyouth rebellion ,\nthey sometimes will themselves into a comforting naivete . while the riot girls talk in a cursory way about branching out , they haven ' t . and until the riot girls address the socioeconomic basis of their movement - - the way their somewhat privileged lives have given them the time and the freedom to express their rage , have given them enough economic power to desire other types of power - - their force will be limited .\nmooney ' s a girl who sings & dances . miller ' s a guy who dances , jokes , sings . the act is very cute , especially when they sing\nspooning with the one you love .\nbut they don ' t get along with each other off stage , & miller pretty much railroads the young woman ( kaye renard ) constantly assuring her he can always find another hoofer & call her mooney .\nbelow i\u2019ve pulled some of the most interesting quotes from the document . the emphasis in bold is entirely rand\u2019s .\n# # # the history of sound at the movies the inclusion of sound at the movies was one of the most dramatic changes in all of film history . dive into the early experiments of edison trying to incorporate sound from film ' s inception , through the experiments in the early 1920s , the jazz singer and . . . more\nthe riot girl manifesto ( a rushed , two - page document that ' s constantly being revised ) declares\nwe seek to create revolution in our own lives every day by envisioning and creating alternatives to the bullshit christian capitalist way of doing things .\nthey urge their members to\nresist psychic death\nand\ncry in public .\ntheir goals include getting\nall girls to be in bands\nand making it so\ngirls rule all towns .\nthey teach each other to play guitar or drums , talk and write about sexism , even encourage women to arm themselves . riot girls are often accused of being separatist : they want to form a life away from men and invent\ngirl culture .\nthe greatest cable channel known to mankind\u2122 rolled out a righteous premiere on the first day of the new year : the joseph losey - directed . . .\njudge william hooks cited the defendant\u2019s \u201cremorse\u201d for the crime , but the victim\u2019s loved ones say that claim rings false .\nin the year of the pig ( dir . emile de antonio , 1968 )\nthe power and the glory ( dir . william k . howard , 1933 )\nthe sign of the cross ( dir . cecil b . demille , 1932 )\nwith the greeks in the firing line ( dir . robert schwobthaler , 1913 )\nthe girl revolutionaries have a long way to go before they rule all towns . as they exist now , they are a self - proclaimed movement of very young , very angry women discovering their own power through frenzied productivity : fanzines , music , public - access shows , performance events . they meet in massachusetts , new york , pennsylvania - - in apartments , rock clubs , cluttered kitchens , pink bedrooms . riot girl olympia meet sundays in a white apartment - house laundry room , usually in the late afternoon . the world they are trying to change right now is the world of olympia , an isolated small town with one main street , a few wide , clear alleys perfect for graffiti (\nyour desires are reality\n) , a theater where movies are always a dollar . the bars are full of quiet regulars , who occasionally start short - lived , halfhearted brawls .\nremember that america is the country of the pioneer , the non - conformist , the inventor , the originator , the innovator . remember that all the great thinkers , artists , scientists were single , individual , independent men who stood alone , and discovered new directions of achievement\u2014 alone .\nthe cakewalk performed by ellie and frank is also danced to an authentic song of the period , goodbye , ma lady love . the dancing is staged in such a way as to recall the style of the minstrel shows that would have been current at the time the movie is depicting .\nthe black widow ( 1947 ) \u2013 chapter 2 : the stolen for . . .\nglorifying the american girl\nis an extremely dated film and it comes off as very quaint and old fashioned . the audio quality varies widely and is , at times , almost incomprehensible . in addition , the original two - color technicolor sequences are gone - - faded over time . it ' s a darn shame the film is in this condition and i ' d love to see it restored someday . the first 2 / 3 of the film is a story about a woman who gets a dance partner and sets off for the stage . her boyfriend is left alone . . . . waiting and hoping for her return . as for the dreams of success , it doesn ' t come quickly and the lady has a serious problem with her sleazy partner . however , with hard work she ' s discovered by the folks at the ziegfeld follies and she ' s about to become a star . now because she isn ' t available back home , her boyfriend slowly drifts away and falls for a co - worker . by the end , the lady is a star and the show is a success . . . but she ' s alone and so ends the picture . the final 2 / 3 is the big show and you get a chance to see one of ziegfeld ' s shows filmed and shown to a wider audience . i was a bit surprised as the routines were a lot rougher and less amazing than they ' d be portrayed over a decade later in\nthe great ziegfeld\n- - which isn ' t surprising as this biopic seemed to have little to do with the man anyway . in addition , you hear rudy vallee and helen morgan sing as well as a very stereotypically jewish comedy routine with eddie cantor . it ' s a shame , however , that you don ' t get to hear cantor sing in the film , as i loved his clever songs in his other films . all in all , if you can get past the rough condition of the film , it gives you a rare peek at a bygone era - - like a time capsule . rough but full of energy and fun - - mostly for fans of early films and historians but still might be of some interest to the average person if they give the film a chance . while it is very dated , for 1929 it was a heck of a picture - - hence my relatively high rating .\nas magnolia\u2019s performing career on the cotton blossom itself blossoms , we get to see many of her performances . the scene between the school teacher and her beloved hamilton is an affectionate depiction of what types of melodramas were being performed in the days of the cotton blossom . the histrionic acting and overheated dialogue seem right . the audience\u2019s reaction confirms this . the humor of the scene comes not from the film\u2019s condescension to the play , but to the woodsmen\u2019s reaction \u2013 their belief that reality is happening on stage . the play itself is performed almost in documentary fashion .\nrecently psychologist carol gilligan , author of in a different voice , published a ground - breaking study of young girls that concluded that as they enter the\nfeminine role ,\nsomewhere between the ages of 11 and 13 , their confidence plummets . sensing the violence and injustice there , many girls derail on the verge of entering society . brash and self - assured at 11 , they become shy and insecure , even self - destructive . they feel the new limits drawn around their bodies . what ' s interesting about gilligan ' s study is not so much her evocation of the familiar image of the masochistic teen as that earlier wild and unafraid girl who disappeared .\nthe paramount holdings at the ucla film & television archive include the entire studio output from the coming of sound in the late 1920s to 1948 . in many cases these studio prints are the best , or only , available materials for preservation . paramount features and shorts have been at the forefront of the archive ' s preservation program and the archive staged a major retrospective of paramount titles in 1987 .\n- all films -

( and how - this was filmed in calgary . )\nthree aliens from the planet taros land on earth and are befriended by a wyoming rancher ' s son .\nrobin and tavvy are two children from a humanoid alien people who have established a base on the moon . they decide that they don\u0092t like merely watching earth at a distance and maintaining the cultural quarantine that their people insist on . and so they run away to earth with their three - limbed pet . landing in rural wyoming , they are befriended by a teenage cowboy robert \u0091dirt\u0092 mcalphen and his grandfather .\nthree aliens from the planet taros land on earth and are befriended by a wyoming rancher & apos ; s son .\nback in space , the hyper sapiens decide that the girls need to be brought back to the mother ship since they refuse to return on their own . . . the primped out leader gets big and lectures the earth .\nrosie marcel , the only british actor in the film , would later go on to star as one of tv ' s most disliked characters , jac naylor , in holby city ( 1999 ) .\ntrippy indie madeline ' s madeline is the movie that lakeith stanfield and boots riley from sorry to bother you want to see the most .\na farmboy tries to help two cute little aliens who are running away from home . much less cute big aliens chase them all over wyoming .\nis for parents wishing to park their children for an afternoon . it is so lacking in any distinguishing or standout qualities it can safely be forgotten the moment people have reached the parking lot on the way home .\ndirt has to go out and find the girls some undies , so , he steals some from his female neighbor . needless to say , one of my favorite parts !\ndirectors of james bond movies rarely have prolific or memorable careers outside of the franchise ; peter hunt ( of on her majesty ' s secret service ) is no exception . with hyper sapien , he has made a competent film whose only ambition is to be gentle and sweet with little in the way of plot or ideas to get in the way of those goals . i\u2019m not sure if small children would be bored by it , but i definitely was . the most memorable aspect of the movie is the bittersweet fact that it contains keenan wynn\u2019s final performance , which isn\u2019t nearly enough to make this slog worthwhile .\nimpossible - to - dislike e . t . / starman hybrid set in pastoral wyoming , directed by a bond guy & bankrolled by jason schwartzmann ' s parents . charming kid actors , great turn from keenan wynn as\ngrandpa\n. . . its refreshing to watch a film about fundamentally nice people . good saturday afternoon movie . make sure 2 check 4 the unreal alien dog puppet who spins like sonic the hedgehog and has a triad of buttholes for a face .\ncorny family movie about two big - haired alien girls who come down to earth to check things out . sydney penny is ok as the older , teen alien but ricky paull goldin is a typical vacuous 80 ' s pretty - boy with over - styled hair . the creature sidekick is almost as annoying as jar - jar and keenan wynn plays yet another daffy old guy character . overall , it ' s a technically decent production without much imagination .\ndidn ' t see it then though , likely because the video movie guide probably gave it a turkey . i might sometimes look back on that annual tome as being simplistic and quaint in our spoiled internet age , but it did mark a big shift in the way i anticipated movies , from childlike , uncritical\u2026\nthis wasn\u2019t that bad of a movie but it could have been better . the acting was pretty decent . i really liked keenan wynn ( grandpa ) and his interaction with kirbi . the plot was somewhat basic but i thought the underlying theme about the young leading people into the future was pretty well written . i also thought the overzealous cop thinking the aliens were assassins after the senator was really funny . kirbi was definitely one of the more interesting aliens to show up , being a three eyed , three legged creature that runs by cartwheeling really fast , eats coal and drinks gasoline , and can shoot lasers from his eyes . the chase scene with kirbi shooting at the cops was pretty funny . nothing really groundbreaking but worth a watch if nothing else is on .\nif it ever came to interacting with aliens on my part , i would wait for them to contact me instead of being the one to initiate contact - i learned from sources such as the war of the worlds that even a peaceful gesture such as a white flag could be misinterpreted , or the aliens may just be mean bastards at heart . you may now be asking that if aliens did make the first gesture - and it appeared to be a peaceful one - what would i do if i was the one that they made the gesture towards ? well , i admit that since i am a very curious person , i would be very interested in the idea of direct contact with the inhabitants of another world . but even then , would a human be able to relate to an alien ? for that matter , would an alien be able to relate to a human ? just think about it for a minute . for one thing , evolution on their planet would almost certainly mean that the aliens would not look like human beings . well , it could be argued that there are plenty of human beings that have been able to relate to their pets despite looking very different . and the aliens , since they have the technology to travel to other planets , would have the extra advantage of being intelligent - making it a lot easier to communicate with . let ' s say that human beings and aliens would be able to relate to each other on a fairly easy level . could this eventually lead to something more ? i ' m talking about two different species falling in love with each other . hollywood has tackled this topic several times , but when you look at this topic in stuff like star trek , you will see that the humans and aliens look pretty similar . it ' s not that far removed from interracial dating .\nthe film movie had it ' s moments of being okay ( from adult perspective ) and i ' m sure if i watched this one as a kid i would have liked it . actually i ' m surprised i ' ve never seen this one before but then again i was 14 in 1986 and this film is geared for a younger than 10 years old audience i believe .\nhoping to find evidence that earthlings aren\u2019t as bad as the rest of the solar system believes , extra - terrestrial sisters robyn and tavy jump ship in wyoming accompanied by a super - intelligent fuzz ball named kirbi . befriended by a teenage cowboy , they work to save a beautifully photographed natural landscape under threat from developers in this delightful interstellar family adventure with a still -

culture humour , as is the case with many other films of this ilk . all of the kids play competently , with neither an overkill of saccharine or knowing cynicism . however , the treatment remains strictly middle of the road and eminently forgettable . under a more lively director , the basic premise could have amounted to something \u0096 imagine how much fun the idea could have been in the hands of a director like robert rodriguez or joe dante . alas , handled by john schultz , it amounts to no more than a school holiday season junk food snack .\nas a talia shire fan , i was disappointed to note she only had a cameo in this production . however , she has executive - produced by her company taliafilm . ltd . , this tale of aliens that look like humans coming down to our planet earth and checking to see if it benefits their species to live . the tale is told from the point of view of 2 alien girls and the new human friend they find in a boy , who along with his male guardian , welcome them to this world and let them experience living as we do . this film is best suited to young children and those viewers whose interests lie in the extra - terrestrial .\nnot only have i seen this movie twice , i was in the right place at the right time and saw several scenes as they were filmed , as a few scenes were shot right here in calgary , alberta , canada . most of the movie was shot west of the city in kananaskis country . i thought it was a great movie and i really liked kirbi with three eyes and three arms . i also liked the scene where we saw an eagle flying . . . . from their perspective , in other words , through their eyes . . . . that was pretty cool . all in all it ' s a great family movie , now if i could only find it on d . v . d .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\ndirt wakes up early morning then looks like he ' s talking on a ham rig . then records the time stating ' it ' s 3 : 00 a . m . in london . assuming pst , that would be 7 : 00 p . m . in wyoming .\nbest of the worst : the vindicator , cyber tracker , robot jox , and r . o . t . o . r .\nwith jurassic world : fallen kingdom now in cinemas , we take a look at how imdb users rated the films of the franchise . plus , browse exclusive lego\u00ae jurassic world playsets , presented by lego .\nexplore popular and recently added tv series available to stream now with prime video .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nin a number of my past reviews , i have touched on topics that are more fantastic in nature than usual . these fantastic topics have been stuff that i have observed in various movies over the years , fantastic things like ghosts , vampires , and zombies . in these past reviews where i have discussed such things , i have generally stuck to discussing as to their possibility of really existing , and if i personally believe that they could exist . this includes the topic of aliens , which i last discussed in my review of evil aliens . what i have not discussed , however , when it comes to topics such as aliens , is how i would personally react if i came face to face with one of these fantastic creatures . well , if it was a zombie , i would simply walk away - they would be too slow in their shuffling to catch up with me . if it were a vampire , i would make a cross with my index fingers and shove it in the vampire ' s face . but what about aliens ? what would i do , for example , if i were to get up one morning , open the curtain , and see that a flying saucer had landed next to my building ? well , i would wonder how such a large craft would be able to land smoothly in my densely - packed neighborhood . seriously though , i am pretty sure i would be seriously freaked out . i would probably immediately drag out a suitcase , quickly pack it , and get out of the area right away . while it ' s true that at that point there would be nothing indicating that the occupants inside the craft had done anything bad , there would also be no indication that they would be good in nature as well . better safe than sorry .\nthe screenplay does later try to explain their motivations for running away to earth , but the explanations will likely sound hollow to even the smallest viewers . would children believe that a couple of minors would\nin order to enjoy stuff they have observed on earth radio and television signals , with what they ' ve seen being stuff like mtv and ronald mcdonald ? i didn ' t buy it . also , i did not buy the fact that once they are on earth and start traveling through the wilderness , it is revealed they ran away with no definite plans as to how they would eat , find shelter , and make a living . and while these sisters are two characters , the screenplay only seems to have material for the older robyn character and doesn ' t seem to know what to do with the younger tavy character ; in fact , the screenplay seems to realize this towards the end , writing out tavy completely and not having her participate in the climatic action . by the way , it ' s a wonder when the action does start to come , because after the beginning when the two sisters land on earth , practically\nhappens for the next hour . not just practically nothing that advances the story , but practically nothing that is exciting , intriguing , or full of wonder or awe . the movie has a premise , but doesn ' t have any idea as to what to do with it except for throwing in a police chase near the end , and that ' s resolved with a feeble\ngesture . it should probably come as no surprise then , that the movie ' s three credited screenwriters not only had no previous screenwriting credits , but they never had any other credits as of this date . i wonder how they managed to sell this asinine script . if you ' ve been as unfortunate to have seen\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nyour social account may not have provided your email to us . please confirm or enter it below to complete your profile .\nwe found your email in our system . please provide your site password to link to your existing account .\nforgot your password ? enter your email address and we ' ll send you instructions on how to access your account .\nwe have not verified that the email belongs to you . please check your inbox for the verification email .\nto resend the verification email , please enter your email address and click submit .\n. . . . . production company , angels the costumiers . . . . . production company , optical film effects . . . . . production company , . . . . . production company , tristar pictures . . . . . domestic theatrical distributor , . . . . . foreign distribution sales , vestron video . . . . . domestic video distributor , . . . . . public relations\nleonard maltin classic movie guide , copyright 2005 , 2010 . used by arrangement with penguin group ( usa ) inc .\ntm & \u00a9 2018 turner classic movies , inc . a time warner company . all rights reserved . code of conduct for this site | press room | privacy policy | | terms of use\nget ready for prime day with the amazon app . no purchase necessary . learn more\nmaybe not the greatis story line ever , but i ' ve many times and i ' m sure i will many more times .\ni thought it was a great movie and i really liked kirbi with three eyes . . .\ni got this as part of a sci fi mega pack . the story didn ' t have a whole lot of twists and was quite et like . the tri -

bearing protein in red blood cells that delivers oxygen to tissues throughout the body . reduced blood cell volume ( hematocrit ) is also considered anemia . the reduction of any or all of the three blood parameters reduces the oxygen -

third of the body ' s blood volume in the space of several hours can be fatal . more gradual blood loss is less serious , because the body has time to create new red blood cells to replace those that have been lost .\nsurgery may be necessary to correct blood losses caused by injury or hemorrhage ( nose bleeds , aneurysm , cerebral hemorrhage , bleeding ulcer ) or childbirth . transfusions of packed red blood cells or whole blood may also be used to replace blood volume and to stimulate the body ' s own production of red blood cells . medication or surgery may also be necessary to control heavy menstrual flow or to remove polyps ( growths or nodules ) from the bowels .\naplastic anemia . aplastic anemia is a serious form of anemia that can lead to death . the body makes too few of all kinds of blood cells : red blood cells , white blood cells , and platelets ( pronounced plate - lits ) . platelets are blood cells that help blood to clot . aplastic anemia may be caused by a recent severe illness , long - term exposure to industrial chemicals , and the use of certain types of medication .\nai / acd typically develops slowly and , because it is usually mild , may cause few or no symptoms . sometimes , ai / acd can cause or contribute to fatigue , weakness , pale skin , a fast heartbeat , shortness of breath , and exercise intolerance .\nevery time a person gets a blood transfusion , their risk for a problem called \u201calloimmunization\u201d goes up . alloimmunization happens when a person\u2019s body reacts to blood from a transfusion because it is seen as harmful by their immune system , and tries to destroy it . persons with alloimmunization can still receive blood transfusions , but the blood they receive has to be checked and compared to their own blood to make sure that it won\u2019t be destroyed by their immune system . this takes time and can mean that persons with alloimmunization have to wait longer for blood , or may have a harder time finding blood that won\u2019t be destroyed by their body .\nanemia is a condition characterized by abnormally low levels of healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin .\nanemia is caused by a deficiency in the intake and absorption elements required to make red blood cells . the condition is defined as one in which the blood is deficient in red blood cells , in hemoglobin , or in total volume . this results in blood that is incapable of meeting the oxygen needs of the body ' s tissues . anemia is characterized by changes in the size and color of red blood cells . red blood cells , or erythrocytes , are primarily responsible for oxygen transport from the lungs to the body ' s many cells . hemoglobin is an oxygen - carrying protein in the red blood cell that incorporates iron into its structure . therefore , iron is an essential building block of blood erythrocytes . when red blood cells are larger than normal , the anemia is termed macrocytic , and when they are smaller than normal , it is called microcytic . normal red cell color is termed normochromic , and if the red cells appear pale , the anemia is called hypochromic . when extensive lab testing is not available for diagnosis , the use of a portable colorimeter can be used to detect anemia .\ngrok this : what if the world were an orange\u2013a blood orange\u2013and there were citra and amarillo hop cones orbiting all around it , with just a dusting of blood orange peel , and it was all , like , an atom ? heavy , right ? well dig this : just to keep things a little blurred around the edges , the mad chemists at elysian brewing have come up with superfuzz blood orange pale ale . it\u2019ll be available at groovy taverns , restaurants and stores beginning april 1 in six -

rith - ro - po - ee - tin ) . this protein is secreted into the blood , which then signals the bone marrow to make more red blood cells .\nred cells contain a special protein called hemoglobin , which helps carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and then returns carbon dioxide from the body to the lungs so it can be exhaled . blood appears red because of the large number of red blood cells , which get their color from the hemoglobin . the percentage of whole blood volume that is made up of red blood cells is called the hematocrit and is a common measure of red blood cell levels .\nsome have theorized that bella ' s blood smelled better than other humans ' blood , but in the book , bella was only edwards\nsinger\n( the one person whose blood smells exceptionally good to him ) . so unless bella ' s blood was exceptionally tasty - smelling to all vamps , there ' s still no reason jasper should have freaked out so epically . . .\ntheories on what happened in old yharnam and on the identity of the blood - starved beast .\nthe process through which new red blood cells are created ; it begins in the bone marrow .\nproduction of red blood cells is controlled by erythropoietin , a hormone produced primarily by the kidneys . red blood cells start as immature cells in the bone marrow and after approximately seven days of maturation are released into the bloodstream . unlike many other cells , red blood cells have no nucleus and can easily change shape , helping them fit through the various blood vessels in your body . however , while the lack of a nucleus makes a red blood cell more flexible , it also limits the life of the cell as it travels through the smallest blood vessels , damaging the cell ' s membranes and depleting its energy supplies . the red blood cell survives on average only 120 days .\nwhen a child exhibits weakness , dizziness , listlessness , or fatigue , it may be the first sign of anemia . the pediatrician should be consulted if the child is also extremely pale or has little or no color in the gums , nail beds , creases of the palm , or lining of the eyelids . any prolonged bleeding or sudden blood loss requires examination by a physician and testing for anemia .\nit could also be that the ashen blood started poisoning everyone in old yharnam and the healing church used a massive amount of blood to counterattack this sickness , making the scourge grow exponentially in the city .\nhemolytic anemia is a type of anemia in which the red blood cell has a shortened lifespan ( normal lifespan is 90 - 120 days ) . because the bone marrow is not able to compensate by producing more red blood cells , anemia results . abnormalities in the red blood cells may be intrinsic or may be caused by environmental factors such as auto - antibodies to red blood cells or damage from chemotherapy .\n[ 63 ] tam\u00e1s kende , v\u00e9rv\u00e1d ( blood libel ) , budapest 1995 , p . 135\u2013156 .\nunlike red and white blood cells , platelets are not actually cells but rather small fragments of cells . platelets help the blood clotting process ( or coagulation ) by gathering at the site of an injury , sticking to the lining of the injured blood vessel , and forming a platform on which blood coagulation can occur . this results in the formation of a fibrin clot , which covers the wound and prevents blood from leaking out . fibrin also forms the initial scaffolding upon which new tissue forms , thus promoting healing .\nthere are several dozen types of anemia that are categorized by their underlying cause . when doctors test blood for anemia , they often describe the blood by the hemoglobin content of red blood cells ( color ) and by the size and shape of red blood cells . these descriptions can point a doctor toward the underlying disorder . treatment is specific for each type of anemia and is based on treating the underlying disease .\none way to treat anemia is to provide the body with more red blood cells to carry oxygen . this can be done through a blood transfusion , a safe , common procedure in which you receive blood through a small plastic tube inserted into one of your blood vessels . some people with thalassemia \u2013 usually with thalassemia major \u2013 need regular blood transfusions because their body makes such low amounts of hemoglobin . people with thalassemia intermedia ( not as severe as major , but not as mild as trait ) may need blood transfusions sometimes , such as when they have an infection or an illness . people with thalassemia minor or trait usually do not need blood transfusions because they either do not have anemia or have only a mild anemia .\nvisions .

- except a hint of centuries - long boredom . at\na hormone produced by the kidneys that stimulates the production of red blood cells in a process called erythropoiesis .\npeople with kidney failure can also develop iron deficiency due to blood loss during hemodialysis , a type of dialysis that uses a special filter called a dialyzer to remove wastes from the blood . low levels of iron and folic acid\u2014another nutrient required for normal red blood cell production\u2014may also contribute to anemia in people with kidney disease .\npeople who lose a lot of blood very quickly , like those who have been injured in an accident , had a blood vessel burst , or have lost blood during surgery , can become anemic because the body cannot make blood as fast as it is being lost . in cases where blood loss is life threatening , a person can have the lost blood replaced through a blood transfusion * . in less severe cases , the body will slowly bring the blood volume and hemoglobin content back to normal by itself . in fact , a person can lose two - thirds of his or her blood volume over a 24 - hour period without dying . other people have a place in their body that is constantly bleeding a little bit , such as a wound in the skin or mucous membranes inside the body ( ulcer ) . in these cases , the source of bleeding needs to be found and treated , and dietary supplements of iron often are needed to help boost hemoglobin production .\nother treatments may include antibiotic or antifungal medicines if infection occurs ; blood and platelet transfusions to counter low levels of red blood cells ( erythrocytes ) and platelets ; general supportive measures to overcome side - effects of chemotherapy .\nfrom those tissues back to the lungs . this exchange is enabled by the most important component of red blood cells\nanemia is a condition in which a person has a lower than normal number of red blood cells or the amount of hemoglobin in the red blood cells drops below normal , which prevents the body\u2019s cells from getting enough oxygen .\ntransfusion - associated graft - versus - host disease ( ta - gvhd ) is another risk factor associated with blood transfusions in cancer patients . although it is very rare , it is often fatal . with ta - gvhd , the patient ' s immune system does not recognize the white blood cells in the donor blood as\nnonself .\nthe donor white blood cells , however , recognize the patient as\nnonself ,\nand an immune - mediated reaction ensues . to prevent this reaction in at - risk patients , blood may be irradiated prior to transfusion .\n\u201c pale blood is a vacant and stylistically empty attempt at a modern day vampire film . it is all posed mood \u2013 washes of synthesizer sound , downbeat lighting , lots of slow - motion and endless street scenes , plus lots of padding footage involving a laughably pretentious new wave band called agent orange . however , the plot is far too insubstantial ( read non - existent ! ) to support anything that is going on . \u201d richard scheib , moria\nanemia ( a - nee - me - a ) is not a disease in itself . instead , it is a sign that the body has a problem with its red blood cells . the blood of a person with anemia does not contain enough red blood cells or enough of the protein hemoglobin ( he - mo - glow - bin ) . anemia can develop because of poor nutrition , excessive blood loss , destruction of red blood cells , abnormal hemoglobin , or from a number of other causes . but no matter what causes anemia , the result is always the same : the blood does not carry enough oxygen to the cells throughout the body , so the body cannot function normally .\nsince your body has fewer red blood cells when you have thalassemia , you may have symptoms of a low blood count , or anemia . when you have anemia , you might feel tired or weak . you might also experience :\nfor anemias caused by excessive or chronic bleeding , stopping blood loss is the first step . in some cases , a blood transfusion is used to replenish the volume of blood in the body . for people with dietary causes of anemia , eating a diet rich in the deficient nutrient or taking supplements such as iron or vitamins often fixes the problem .\nthe best way of diagnosing anemia is with a blood test . a sample of the patient ' s blood is taken with a needle . the sample is then studied under a microscope . the number , size , and shape of red blood cells can then be determined . this information tells whether the patient has anemia and , if so , what kind .\nsince all these symptoms above can also be caused by other problems , you\u2019ll need a physical examination and blood tests to determine whether you have anemia . sometimes a person may not notice any symptoms , but anemia will be identified by an abnormal result on a routine blood test ( such as a blood test that is part of your annual check - up ) .\nthe onset of iron deficiency anemia is gradual . the deficiency begins when the body loses more iron than it gains from food and other sources . because depleted iron stores cannot meet the red blood cells ' needs , fewer red blood cells develop . in this early stage of anemia , the red blood cells look normal , but they are reduced in number . then the body tries to compensate for the iron deficiency by producing more red blood cells , which are characteristically small in size .\na blood test can often suggest the diagnosis of aml . the test will typically show a low number of red blood cells , normal white blood cells and platelets . some blast cells which have spilled into the bloodstream from the marrow are also usually seen . sometimes large numbers of blast cells occur in the bloodstream . further tests are usually done to confirm the diagnosis .\na chest x - ray , further blood tests and other tests are usually done to assess your general well - being .\na reduction in the quantity of the oxygen - carrying pigment haemoglobin in the blood . the main symptoms are excessive tiredness and fatigability , breathlessness on exertion , pallor , and poor resistance to infection . the many causes of anaemia include loss of blood (\nknown for their bright red color , red cells are the most abundant cell in the blood , accounting for about 40 to 45 percent of its volume . the shape of a red blood cell is a biconcave disk with a flattened center - in other words , both faces of the disc have shallow bowl - like indentations ( a red blood cell looks like a donut ) .\na complete blood count ( cbc ) test gives your doctor important information about the types and numbers of cells in your blood , especially the red blood cells and their percentage ( hematocrit ) or protein content ( hemoglobin ) , white blood cells , and platelets . the results of a cbc may diagnose conditions like anemia , infection , and other disorders . the platelet count and plasma clotting tests ( prothombin time , partial thromboplastin time , and thrombin time ) may be used to evaluate bleeding and clotting disorders .\nyharnam rises as a city again , with its old part burnt and closed . the healing church kept their experiments with blood .\nnot taking medication that has triggered hemolytic anemia and not eating foods that have caused hemolysis ( breakdown of red blood cells ) .\nlet me explain what you become after defeating the moon presence . basically you become a baby great one .\nthe choir\nand\nthe healing church\nis the reason why this infection started in the first place after using old blood as a way to treat various ailments . the problem with old blood is that it reacts with human blood , the old blood heals but transforms man to beasts and that ' s where the beastly scourge began . from the caryll rune beast\nbeast\nis one of the early caryll runes . as well as one of the first to be deemed forbidden . the discovery of blood entailed the discovery of undesirable beasts\n.\nhemolytic anemia can enlarge the spleen , accelerating the destruction of red blood cells ( hemolysis ) . other complications of hemolytic anemia include :\nanemia of inflammation and chronic disease is caused by red blood cells not functioning normally , so they cannot absorb and use iron efficiently . in addition , the body cannot respond normally to erythropoietin ( epo ) , a hormone made by the kidneys that stimulates bone marrow to produce red blood cells . over time , this abnormal functioning causes a lower than normal number of red blood cells in the body .\nblood cells develop from hematopoietic stem cells and are formed in the bone marrow through the highly regulated process of hematopoiesis . hematopoietic stem cells are capable of transforming into red blood cells , white blood cells , and platelets . these stem cells can be found circulating in the blood and bone marrow in people of all ages , as well as in the umbilical cords of newborn babies . stem cells from all three sources may be used to treat a variety of diseases , including leukemia , lymphoma , bone marrow failure , and various immune disorders .\nyou\u2019ve heard the story before : the man\u2019s been throwing his weight around again , muscling people all over town with super - uninteresting beer . enter superfuzz , a one - beer crusade against the oppressive ordinary . he can relate to other ales , with an easygoing blend of northwest pale , munich and dextri - pils malts , but where the hops and the blood orange come in , he\u2019s a complicated guy . worldly german northern brewer and cascade bitter and flavor the beer , but it\u2019s the combination of citra , amarillo and blood orange peel in the finish , topped off with pureed and concentrated blood orange in the fermenter that land the biggest blows . call it orangesploitation , superfuzz is serving notice . starting gravity is 14\u00b0p / 1 . 056 , and alcohol a mellow 5 . 3 % by volume .\nback then , in 2008 , the vampire myth had been completely defanged by the twilight books and their pale hero , edward cullen\u2014who could conquer his desire for sex or blood or sleep or anything beyond gazing deeply into his girlfriend\u2019s eyes . by contrast , true blood opened with gratuitously explicit sex scenes , then segued into one of the most ricidulously gory bloodbaths in tv history later that season . the characters were all gloriously weird , whether they were vampires , werewolves , faeries , or shapeshifters\u2014never mind whether they were straight , gay , or bisexual . this show didn\u2019t just want you to watch its freak flag fly . it wanted to stake that freak flag through your heart .\ntake a scene that is one of the film\u2019s most inspired yet least observed moments , the centurion piercing the dead christ\u2019s side with a lance , releasing a flow of blood and water . in other depictions , the blood and water are often shown trickling or oozing down his side . gibson , though , depicts a spray of blood and water gushing from christ\u2019s side and showering down on the startled centurion .\nblood consists of red blood cells , white blood cells , platelets , and plasma . red blood cells , or erythrocytes ( e - rith - ro - sites ) , are the most numerous cells in the blood and give blood its red color . the tissues and cells in the body require oxygen to function properly , and erythrocytes are specialized to carry and distribute oxygen because they contain hemoglobin . hemoglobin has the unique property of being able to absorb oxygen in the lungs , where it is plentiful , and release oxygen to the cells of the body , where it is needed . hemoglobin consists of four protein molecules , called globins , and up to four heme molecules . the heme molecules are red - pigmented , nonprotein , iron - binding compounds , and they are responsible for binding to and transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide .\nsome common symptoms of mild anemia include weakness , fatigue , and a\nrun - down\nfeeling . other signs include pale skin and a lack of color in the creases of the palm , gums , nail beds or lining of the eyelids . someone who is weak , tires easily , is often out of breath , and feels faint or dizzy may have severe anemia . other symptoms of anemia include :\nacute myeloid leukaemia is where the bone marrow makes large numbers of abnormal immature white blood cells which are derived from a myeloid stem cell .\na common cause of iron - deficiency anemia is chronic blood loss , usually from the gastrointestinal tract . bleeding ulcers or polyps , chronic irritation of the lining of the gastrointestinal tract , or cancer can cause this kind of \u201csilent\u201d internal bleeding . often , this blood loss is invisible to the naked eye , and your healthcare provider may do a simple test , called a fecal occult blood test , to find it .\na molecule found in red blood cells that contains an iron atom and that helps transport oxygen from the lungs to cells throughout the body .\nthe most extreme form of treatment in such cases is a bone marrow transplant . all blood cells are made in bone marrow . marrow is a fatty tissue found in the center of bones . people whose bodies make too few red blood cells may need a bone marrow transplant . marrow from a healthy person is injected into the patient ' s bones . if successful , the healthy marrow begins producing red blood cells .\ninadequate hydration can cause fatigue , poor appetite , heat intolerance , dizziness , constipation , kidney stones and a dangerous drop in blood pressure .\nanemias do not all stem from the same causes . anemia can be the result of injuries , chronic or acute illnesses , complications of surgery or childbirth , metabolic disturbances or deficiencies , and adverse response to drug therapy administered for other conditions . causes may include sudden or ongoing loss of blood , nutritional deficiencies , decreased red blood cell production , or increased red blood cell destruction . malnutrition or malabsorption of nutrients can contribute to vitamin deficiency anemia and iron deficiency anemias . although red cell destruction and replacement is an ongoing process in the body , hereditary disorders and certain diseases can accelerate blood cell destruction , resulting in anemia . however , excessive bleeding is the most common cause of severe anemia , and the speed with which blood loss occurs has a significant effect on the severity of symptoms . chronic blood loss may be a consequence of the following :\ni have a question about the\npaleblood\nmost of the theories i read tells that\npaleblood\nis accualy the blood of the moon presence - the ultimate blood the note at the start of the game states :\nseek paleblood to transend the hunt\n, i thought that a\npaleblood\nwas a person - an outsider that had nothing to do with the blood plague - the main character . . .\nred blood cells are produced in the bone marrow through a process called erythropoiesis . when the bone marrow functions normally , it continuously replaces red blood cells to maintain a normal level that allows for adequate oxygenation of the tissues . the hormone erythropoietin stimulates red blood cell production and sends a message to the bone marrow to increase production when oxygen levels in the body are low . this mechanism is often impaired in patients with cancer .\nyharnam is a towering , labyrinthine gothic city , home to both the healing church and the blood ministrations . as no evidence of the existence of a ruling body is provided in the game , one may presume that the healing church controls the city ( at least indirectly ) . the church focuses around healing by infusions of blood . miraculously , blood healing can repair wounds and cure or hinder diseases . yharnam ' s whole culture became focused on blood , even to the point of blood - based drinks surpassing alcoholic beverages as the most commonly consumed . yharnam ' s populace is apparently viewed as insane or degenerate by the wider world , and the citizens have become extremely distrustful of non - natives as a result .\ni believe this happens many years in the future , the blood minister appears in the city , creating hunters for the hunter ' s dream .\naplastic anemia . sometimes curable by bone marrow transplant , but potentially fatal , aplastic anemia is characterized by decreased production of red and white blood cells and platelets ( disc - shaped cells that allow the blood to clot ) . this disorder may be inherited or acquired as a result of :\nsickle cell anemia . sickle cell anemia ( see sickle cell anemia entry ) is a genetic disorder . cells receive genes that give them the wrong instructions for making red blood cells . red blood cells are normally shaped like plump doughnuts . in sickle cell anemia , the cells are curved with sharp points . these cells easily stick to each other . they also stick to the walls of blood vessels . clumps of sickled red blood cells can collect in a vein or artery and block it . this condition can cause pain , weakness , and , in extreme cases , death .\nsometimes curable by bone marrow transplant , but potentially fatal , aplastic anemia is characterized by decreased production of red and white blood cells and platelets ( disc - shaped cells that are a key component of blood coagulation ) . this disorder may be inherited or acquired as a result of the following :\nit\u2019s certainly a relief to see an attempt at the grotesque reality of violent death rather than the diluted depictions of some film portrayals . but , again , with all due respect to catholicism , there has in the past and to an extent still is a virtual blood cult within it . the medieval church was obsessed with gore , and even today in southern europe we see quite repugnant fetishes with sacred blood , holy blood , miracle - giving blood . if it\u2019s european medievalism we\u2019re seeing rather than death - dry , god - drenched ancient judea , we could be in trouble . (\na cbc result that shows low iron levels in the blood yet normal measures of iron stores in the body is a hallmark of ai / acd .\niron deficiency anemia . the onset of iron deficiency anemia is gradual and , at first , there may not be any symptoms . the deficiency begins when the body loses more iron than it derives from food and other sources . because depleted iron stores cannot meet the red blood cell ' s needs , fewer red blood cells develop . in this early stage of anemia , the red blood cells look normal , but they are reduced in number . then the body tries to compensate for the iron deficiency by producing more red blood cells , which are characteristically small in size . symptoms develop at this stage .\nmichael fury ( chakiris ) arrives in los angeles to investigate a series of mysterious high - profile murders where the victims have been completely drained of blood .\npatients with thalassemia usually do not require treatment . however people with a severe form may require periodic hospitalization for blood transfusions and / or bone marrow transplantation .\nanemias caused by a decreased production of red blood cells are also called hypoplastic anemias , and many different conditions and disorders can cause this kind of anemia .\nai / acd is easily confused with iron - deficiency anemia because in both forms of anemia levels of iron circulating in the blood are low . iron in the body is found both circulating in the blood and stored in body tissues . circulating iron is necessary for red blood cell production . low blood iron levels occur in iron - deficiency anemia because levels of the iron stored in the body\u2019s tissues are depleted . in ai / acd , however , iron stores are normal or high . low blood iron levels occur in ai / acd , despite normal iron stores , because inflammatory and chronic diseases interfere with the body\u2019s ability to use stored iron and absorb iron from the diet . ai / acd is the second most common form of anemia , after iron - deficiency anemia . 1\ncytomegalovirus ( cmv ) is a virus that may be present in blood products . although it has no effect on individuals with normally functioning immune systems , cancer patients often have a diminished ability to fight infection . these patients may be at risk for cmv if they are cmv negative and receive cmv - positive blood .\nblood clotting problems . this is due to low levels of platelets . this can cause easy bruising , bleeding from the gums and other bleeding - related problems .\nchildren with aplastic anemia are especially susceptible to infection . treatment for aplastic anemia may involve blood transfusions and bone marrow transplantation to replace malfunctioning cells with healthy ones .\nmore serious forms of anemia may require surgery . bleeding ulcers and certain types of stomach disorders are examples of anemias that may be treated surgically . in some cases , blood transfusions may be required . people who have lost large numbers of red blood cells may require a transfusion in order to avoid serious complications of anemia .\nthere are three broad categories of causes of anemia . first , when someone is injured and loses a great deal of blood , anemia can develop because the body\ns total blood volume is lost faster than it can be replaced . in the second category , the process of making red blood cells in the body is not working normally : bone marrow does not make enough erythrocytes , the erythrocytes do not contain enough hemoglobin , or the hemoglobin does not function correctly . in the third category , red blood cells are destroyed faster than the marrow can replenish them . some of the most common types of anemia in each category are described below ."]}

reaching conspiracy that allows h0eg to do much more than simply spin out a thrilling detective tale . smilla\u2019s mixed heritage provides h0eg with the opportunity to comment critically on the historical maltreatment of the inuit natives of greenland by the danes . furthermore , the novel contains a subplot about a wondrous meteorite that may be alive , through which h0eg engages in an examination of the ethics of contemporary science and scientists .\nmr . august , the director whose films include ' ' the best intentions ' ' and ' ' pelle the conqueror , ' ' does a fine job of conveying such details in quick , economic fashion . but with a plot that grows increasingly far - fetched , his ' ' smilla ' s sense of snow ' ' has as much to do with glossy good looks as with real information . the film ' s smilla changes costumes with a frequency that rivals evita ' s , and she suggests a stevedore envisioned by helmut newton by the time she stows away on a boat . the film ' s final confrontation is remarkable not only for spectacular glimpses of greenland ' s lonely white scenery and for an actor gutsy enough to play a scene in freezing water but also for conspicuous product plugs on the characters ' parkas .\noh my , this book is bad . the premise is an interesting enough hook - a boy has fallen off a snow laden roof . the police file it as an accident , but smilla , with an extraordinary feeling for snow , thinks not . smilla ' s intuition that a banal letter found in the boy ' s apartment about his mother ' s pension might hold a clue to the boy ' s death leads her to elsa lubing , signee of the letter . elsa gives smilla the key and secret code that allow her to break into the cryolite corporation ' s archives holdi\nsmilla ' s mother , although dead for many years , continues to play an important role in smilla ' s life . how has ane influenced her daughter over the years ? how do you think smilla will come to terms with her mixed heritage ?\na recent oscar winner , alexandre desplat\u2019s beguiling score for \u201cthe grand budapest hotel\u201d continues wfmt\u2019s exploration of the sound of cinema .\nupon its english -

seller smilla\u2019s sense of snow has largely overshadowed his other four books , none of which enjoyed the same degree of near - unanimous critical praise or commercial success . although he was hailed as a rising literary star when he published smilla\u2019s sense of snow at the age of 34\u2014at which point he had already published the novel forestilling om det tyvende arhundrede ( the history of danish dreams ) and the collection of stories fortallinger om natten ( tales of the night ) \u2014h0eg has not published a novel since 1996 , when his kvinden og aben ( the woman and the ape ) was released to mixed reviews . as a result , his status within world literature is still rather ambiguous , although he remains very popular in his native denmark .\none snowy day in copenhagen , six - year - old isaiah falls to his death from a city rooftop . the police pronounce it an accident . but isaiah ' s neighbour , smilla , an expert in the ways of snow and ice , suspects murder . she embarks on a dangerous quest to find the truth , following a path of clues as clear to her as footsteps in the snow .\nas the neighbor of little isaiah and someone who naturally understands footprints in the snow , smilla never believes that this child accidentally fell off a roof . ( incidentally , one unsung genius behind the popularity of this thriller is the person who decided that its british title , ' ' miss smilla ' s feeling for snow , ' ' could use some alliterative improvement . ) she begins inquiring into the circumstances of his death even as she stumbles onto a conspiracy elaborate enough to recall john le carre .\nphotography is a fiction . it\u2019s a frame of a film which hasn\u2019t been made , or a line from a forgotten poem . i always create in camera as much as possible , because it is also about the experience of what is in front of you at the time .\na truly outlandish twist that would be more at home in a no - brainer hollywood action film than in what purports to be an intelligent adult thriller .\nthe smilla mega movie page provides evidence of the mechanic\u2019s power with an array of videos , including the trailer and fan vids , dialogue and quotes from the film , promotional images , an interview , reviews , additional resources , a drink recipe ( a good alternative to that hot chocolate ! ) , posters , and a stunning set of screencaps .\nperhaps the most profoundly felt theme running through smilla ' s sense of snow is that of alienation . when a people , or a person , lose ( s ) a sense of meaning in life or a separation from that which has formerly nurtured them , the result is both a cultural and personal sense of alienation . in many ways , smilla exemplifies both . clearly , smilla is alienated both from her father and danish society . she often pulls her telephone from its jack and disconnects her doorbell so that she does not have to interact with others in copenhagen . the root of this alienation is in her forcible transfer from greenland to copenhagen after the death of her mother . that she runs away more times than she can remember between the ages of seven and twelve speaks to this deeply felt sense of cultural isolation . by the time she is an adult , smilla has resigned herself to living at least partially within danish culture :\ni no longer make an effort to keep europe or denmark at a distance . neither do i plead with them to stay . in some way they are part of my destiny . they come and go in my life . i have given up doing anything about it .\nhowever , this is the voice of resignation , not integration ; even as an adult , smilla remains alienated from and unable to find meaning in denmark or europe .\nthe best movie i have seen for the month of march , ranks as an all time high . smilla is a star . the suspense will keep you on the edge of your chair . i can ' t believe that this film didn ' t get more awards , its a sleeper . other then the berlin international film festival i don ' t think it showed up anywhere else . the young boy played a good part . a must see must add to any collection , starts in greenland then to denmark , my type of film , one that shows anything but america . 5 stars . thank you .\nin a segment almost too cool for human ears , we glide from sweet smell of success to elevator to the gallows to anatomy of a murder to breathless in this salute to jazz film scoring par excellence .\nthe notion of\ncolonialism ,\nhowever , is tied up with much more than the history of one nation claiming another as a colony . rather , it is an exploration of the effects of this relationship on both the colonizer and the colonized . in smilla ' s sense of snow , the days of greenland as a colony have passed ; at the time of the writing of the novel , greenland was under home rule . however , two centuries of colonial exploitation , as well as the two decades of\nmodernization\nthat occurred in the 1950s and 1960s , have changed the way that both greenlanders and danes think and live .\nthe trailer for this was on a vhs copy of one of my favourite films back in the late 90s . couldn ' t tell you what the film was , i just know that the trailer for smilla is one of the trailer ' s i ' ve seen the most times in my life because of it . at no point during or after seeing that trailer was i remotely fussed about watching the film . my memory says it looked like the kind of film\nold women\nmight like . of course i was about 15 so who the hell knows what i thought\nold\nwas . anyway , i ' ve since sold the book in my retail career many times and even the book jacket looked a bit book club / white\u2026\npeter h\u00f8eg was born in copenhagen , denmark . before becoming a writer , he worked variously as a sailor , ballet dancer , and actor . he published his first novel , a history of danish dreams ( 1988 ) , to positive reviews . however , it was smilla\u2019s sense of snow ( 1992 ) , a million - copy best seller , that earned h\u00f8eg immediate and international literary celebrity . his books have been published in more than th\nh0eg\u2019s seeming inability to please his most outspoken critics seems to stem from his unwillingness to accommodate the expectations of those who want him to write either conventional genre fictions or highbrow philosophical novels . h0eg is equally comfortable ( and interested in ) writing about the complexities of theories concerning the nature of time\u2014a subject that shows up in most of his books\u2014as he is making allusions to popular culture , from thrillers in the vein of john lecarre to b - movie science fiction like king kong . although this combination won him millions of readers in smilla\u2019s sense of snow , it has not resulted in similarly broad acclaim for his subsequent efforts .\nbut the most seductive\nsign\nof all for smilla is her beloved snow . smilla authoritatively announces early on ,\njeg synes bedre om sne og is end om kaerligheden\n(\ni think more highly of snow and ice than love\n) . equally authoritatively h\u00f8eg cautioned readers not to trust her .\nshe should not be relied on , because she ' s hidding her sensitivity and feelings under a rough surface\n( lyall ) . both statements are misleading , for it is not so much a matter of snow versus love , but of snow as smilla ' s disguised obsession with the loss of love . smilla herself makes the connection , if she disguises the nature of the loss , when , at the end of her reminiscence about her mother ' s intimate embrace , she muses ,\nm\u00e5ske er jeg allerede d\u00e9r begyndt at \u00f8nske at forst\u00e5 isen . at ville forst\u00e5 er at pr\u00f8ve at generobre noget vi har mistet\n(\nperhaps i had even then begun to want to understand the ice . to want to understand is an attempt to recapture something we have lost\n) .\nzeal is a virtue when it is put into practice as service of others . the clever , cerebral , and reclusive heroine of smilla ' s sense of snow is a copenhagen scientist who cherishes her independence and privacy . the one exception to her preference to stay way from people is isaiah , a young eskimo neighbor , who wins his way into her heart . when he mysteriously falls to his death from their building ' s rooftop , smilla is convinced that he as murdered . using the same reserves of courage and tenacity that fueled her mother ' s career as an inuit hunter , she comes up against the unusual activities of a mining corporation headed by a nefarious man called tork ( richard harris ) .\npeter h\u00f8eg was born in copenhagen , denmark . before becoming a writer , he worked variously as a sailor , ballet dancer , and actor . he published his first novel , a history of danish dreams ( 1988 ) , to positive reviews . however , it was smilla\u2019s sense of snow ( 1992 ) , a million - copy best seller , that earned h\u00f8eg immediate and international literary celebrity . his books have been published in more than thirty countries .\nit\u2019s surprising to see a lot of people\u2019s living spaces of a certain age \u2013 what they surround themselves with and how they decorate their houses . they\u2019re like living museums . it\u2019s often an incredible level of chaos and madness that they live amongst\nfor smilla snow is the substance that preserves form , like isaiah ' s tracks . it is the substance of connection , associated in her mind with winter , her mother ' s favorite season , and the visiting of others .\nvinteren var en tid til samvaer , ikke til jordens undergang\n(\nwinter was a time for community , not for the end of the world\n) . snow is the substance of certainty . it is the substance of perfection . like all who mourn , smilla longs for something that can contain the essence of what is lost , keats ' s grecian urn , dinesen ' s blue vase . smilla has found it in her ability to imagine snow .\ni den ydre verden vil der aldrig eksistere en fuldendt dannet snekrystal . men i vores bevidsthed ligger den glitrende og lydefri viden om den perfekte is\n(\nin the external world a perfectly formed snow crystal would never exist . but in our consciousness lies the glittering and flawless knowledge of perfect ice\n) . smilla seems to find in the ice all that she longs for , life , wildness , beauty , change , and eternal permanence . nearing greenland , she describes in the most sensuous terms the creation of the ice cover :\nbut , of course , snow is as impermanent as life , the quintessence of impermanence . touched by the human hand it disappears , as suddenly and completely as smilla ' s mother . only in smilla ' s mind is it a constant . even in its physical construction it is made up of wholes and holes , as illusive a substance as smilla could have found for her passion , and thus , in essence , the perfect\nsign\nfor her mother , both in her presence and her absence . it is the substance in which she is both to be lost and to be found . yet , as long as smilla continues to romanticize snow , she can avoid facing the loss that it hides . she need never lose again .\nfirst , there is a lot of snow . a great deal of snow . snow on the ground . in the air . everywhere . and there is ice . and cold water . and icebergs . and even full - blown , life - sized glaciers . if the weather is warm where you are at the moment , it will feel much , much colder once the opening scene rolls by , so grab a blanket and some hot chocolate .\nthe term\ngenre\nrefers to the category of a given literary work in either form or content . in terms of content , certain genres carry with them certain conventions . for example , detective fiction requires both a crime and someone trying to solve the crime . thus , while a book such as smilla ' s sense of snow is clearly generically a novel , it does not easily fall into any one generic category in terms of content and convention . indeed , it is almost as if h\u00f8eg is playing with the notion of genre itself in his creation of this novel .\nthe last section of the novel takes place on the ice of greenland . again , h\u00f8eg evokes the bitter cold and the alien strangeness of the frozen land . smilla , however , finds herself on surer footing here . not only does she have the scientific knowledge of snow and ice that she has learned in europe , she has the intuitive knowledge of her upbringing . in the final desperate scene , it is smilla ' s familiarity with the setting that promises her survival :\nshe thinks more highly of snow and ice than she does of love . she lives in a world of numbers , science and memories - - a dark , exotic stranger in a strange land . and now smilla jaspersen is convinced she has uncovered a shattering crime . . . it happened in the copenhagen snow . a six - year - old boy , a greenlander like smilla , fell to his death from the top of his apartment building . while the boy ' s body is still warm , the police pronounce his death an accident . but smilla knows her young neighbor didn ' t fall from the roof on his own . soon she is following a path of clues as clear to her as footsteps in the snow . for her dead neighbor , and for herself , she must embark on a harrowing journey of lies , revelation and violence that will take her back to the world of ice and snow from which she comes , where an explosive secret waits beneath the ice . . . .\nkenneth lonergan wrote and directed the film\nyou can count on me ,\nfor which he won the waldo salt screenwriting award , the sundance film festival ' s top award for best screenwriting , and the new york film critics ' circle , l . a . film critics ' circle , writers guild of america , and national board of review awards for best screenplay . he was also nominated for an academy award for best original screenplay . lonergan ' s plays include\nlobby hero ,\nthe waverly gallery\nand\nthis is our youth .\nhis theater work has been performed in new york at naked angels , second stage , the atlantic theater company , and h . b . playwrights foundation . in los angeles his work has been staged at the coast theatre , and in london at the royal court theater and at the battersea playhouse .\nmy hunch , moonshadow , is that you likely have little or no experience of snow and ice . if you had , you might relate better to this book , and enjoy the near mystical sense that smilla has of it . but do try to soldier on , as this is an exceptionally good story . and no , it would not be fair to give away the ending to you . sorry . margaret ( less )\nlagermann is a forensic medicine expert who first examines isaiah ' s body . he reveals to smilla that a muscle biopsy has been removed from the body sometime after the child ' s death .\nwas given an indifferent critical reception when it came out , much of which seemed based on the story\u0092s taking a turn into science - fiction at the ending ( an aspect that comes direct from the book ) , but it is a strong and underrated film that is worthy of reconsideration .\nthis cult classic has a lot of things going for it . miss smilla is a stylish , engaging heroine with terrific dress sense , dark wit , courage under fire and fluency in greenlandic . ( i believe it ' s west greenlandic if you care about that kind of thing ) . at one point , she performs an imaginative sex act that i ' ve never seen described in any other place . there ' s a brooding sense of menace and a weird conspiracy that gradually comes together . . . i don ' t know why i ' m so bothered by the fact that the stor\nbrendan gleeson most recently co - starred in steven spielberg ' s\nai : artificial intelligence\nand is currently shooting anthony mingella ' s ' cold mountain .

opening , the killing of america is a documentary that has taken too long to make it to our screens , not necessarily because of its quality as a story - telling device , nor necessarily for the political angle its filmmaker\u2019s have presented , but more because of the truth of the story that makes this at once relevant to its intended early 80s release date audience and indeed our contemporary landscape . this movie may have been banned from release in 1981 , but chieko & leonard schrader\u2019s documentary passion project has finally managed to find distribution and , like any good documentary , still successfully entices an audience and questions their moral values and principles all at once .\nno wonder then that , underneath the paranoia and shock that reverberate through the killing of america , there\u2019s also curiosity , even sadness , about the unspoken connection between americans\u2019 thirst for violence and the easy availability of powerful weapons . \u201c [ violence ] is a discussion which is part of the american character\u2014that\u2019s how deep it is , \u201d renan says . \u201cwe have done terrible things in building this country , and then we paper over it . we don\u2019t think about it . we don\u2019t think about the violence that we ourselves experience and grow up in . we don\u2019t think about the fact that at least one in every four women is raped . it\u2019s just astounding what we don\u2019t think about . \u201d\nstereotypes are peculiar things . they make targets out of those who are different , be it in language or traditions . and it appears appalachia remains the last minority population in america for which it is socially acceptable to question intelligence , speech pattern , the way people dress . their uniqueness .\nthis is not an unforeseen or coincidental result of forces beyond our control ,\no ' brien said .\nit is a direct consequence of actions of the parties and supporters of the conflict .\nfour years ago , for a moment , there was considerable interest in the fact that large numbers of americans were being fatally shot . on 14 december 2012 , 20 -

( the addition of the scene also suggests , for reasons that i won\u2019t go into , that the american series might change the identity of the killer , a shift that wouldn\u2019t be too difficult given the unusually large cast of characters and abundant red herrings . )\nperhaps the most striking difference between the two productions is their respective emotional temperatures : danish cool versus american heat . not that there isn\u2019t the same amount of grief , anger and shame in \u201cforbrydelsen\u201d as there is in \u201cthe killing\u201d ; it\u2019s just expressed with greater reserve . the children who act out do so more politely ; adults who scheme and fight do so with more compunction . some of this may be national temperament and some of it , again , may be the exigencies of short - season character development . as the victim\u2019s mother , the danish pernille larsen starts out shell - shocked and gradually builds to anger while the american mitch larsen starts out in a rage and stays there .\nlook past the rage , though , and it becomes clear that winograd has an important case to make . in peta ' s response to me , schinke wrote ,\nwinograd dishonestly and viciously attacks all open admission shelters , those that do not shut the door to any animal , even those for whom peaceful release is a mercy .\nthis is another way of saying that because peta accepts so many dire cases , cases in which euthanasia may very well be justified , it should be excused for killing over 99 percent of the animals under its care . winograd , however , argues persuasively that peta euthanizes far more than just the unadoptable cases . in the following excerpt from his blog , he reveals that newkirk admits to killing animals that are\nadoptable\n:\namericans only got them selfs to blame . why not try to get rid of all the guns oohh nooo its in the constitution so you\nneed\nthem i dont feel sorry for anyone getting murdered there you chose to have the right to weapons every attempt to remove that right is attacked and stoped then live with the consequences . im just happy i am not an american living in america\nin an effort to reassure the public , the law established the assassination records review board to consider all decisions of whether to postpone the declassification of the records . by the time it concluded in 1998 , the board had forced the release of thousands of previously secret documents from the cia , fbi , secret service and other federal agencies , as well as congressional investigations into the assassination . some of these documents showed that evidence had in fact been withheld from the warren commission , presumably to hide the failure to detect\u2014and prevent\u2014a plot to kill kennedy ."]}

' that ' s only for entertainment . here it would be like a musical . you go to relax and laugh and be entertained . but there is also in france , since the 1950s , an idea of working in a company , where the text is only part of the show , where the design , costumes , movement and actors are linked . this theater is not realistic . this is my passion .\ni like that the book tries its best to represent comics from all over the world , there ' s a lot of interesting stuff here that a lot of people won ' t have heard of . based on my own experience with us / japanese / uk comics i feel that it does a good job of covering the most important us and japanese releases but only does a reasonable job with british comics ( it covers most of the major stuff but not the more obscure releases ) . i don ' t know enough about french and italian comics to comment .\nthe placings are set out in chronological order , with each entry being given either a page , or half a page of write - up , and some info on writers and artists as well as the original publishers is included .\ni tend to go through phases , i ' m trying to mix things up a bit at the moment tbh .\ni started theater as a hobby ,\nrousselet , age 46 , says ,\nand more and more i had a passion . and the more i knew , the more it became obvious that this would be my life .\ni ' m not keen on the way that some entries are writer / artist runs ( eg lee / ditko spider - man ) , whilst others are focused on a singular story , seems kind of like cheating to me . the layout can also be a bit confusing at times .\ndidier rousselet is le neon ' s founder . he is sitting inside the theater , wondering if he ' ll get his $ 15 , 000 back . that ' s what he spent to open the doors in 1991 . he had to gut a television repair shop and put in a bathroom , heating and proper egress . to call the results spartan would be a compliment . he is sanguine , but not about retrieving his money .\nwe have detected that you do not have javascript enabled . the heritage auctions web sites will not function without javascript , so we recommend enabling it .\nlast fall , in\nl ' amour medecin\n(\nlove is the best medicine\n) by moliere , two performances a week were in french , and two in english . rousselet is hesitant to try it again .\nthe problem is that when we staged it in french , we discovered that english rhythms are different . we had to change many subtle details with the second cast . it was really like doing two plays .\nhave not read the first two but i will shortly . i have read shade though , it was great , not as good x static or human target though .\nsince you seem to be in sort of a manga kick , try bakune young if you like over the top action . this scan is pretty mild , though .\nnot sure i would ' ve put ultimate spider - man on the list , probably would ' ve gone with a jm demateis story to round off spider - man .\nthe single greatest criticism rousselet receives is that his work is too slow . his outlook is the reverse : life is too fast .\npeople in the united states are hypnotized by television , that river of rushing images - - news , commercials , soap operas flowing into one . this is not what i want . i want something simple . a piece of fabric that an audience can dream on . our theater is not action - packed . some look at what we do and don ' t understand it , because there is no crime . . .\nfruit basket , tokyo zombie , uzumaki , tdksa and golgo 13 ?

8v over the fm composite signal wire and this switches the module into fm mode . the antenna module takes signal from the front antenna and mix that signal with the signal from the rear antenna . the antenna module amplifies both signals and sends the combined signal to the radio . the fm composite signal also provides a feedback signal to the antenna module , which indicates the quality of the signal . diagnostic aids poor am and fm radio reception is dependent on multiple influences , some of which may not be vehicle related . areas which have high rf traffic or block the signal path may cause a degradation in radio reception . radio reception may also be influenced by items within the vehicle , but not part of the radio system . such examples are aftermarket electrical accessories or other items which may generated noise in the vehicle electrical system .\nthe signal itself -

fed to us but there\u2019s enough hints along the way that we can gather what it\u2019s doing to the people of terminus . but be prepared ; we never get a concrete cause as to what the signal is or where it came from . i didn\u2019t need it either ; the film is done so well that the signal itself becomes like a mysterious character that simply serves as the protagonist in the film . as ben points out :\nthe signal is told in three parts , in which all telecommunication devices broadcast only a mysterious \u201csignal\u201d turning people into murderous psychopaths . the film is broken up into three chapters ( \u201ctransmissions\u201d ) , each of which had different directors during shooting . each part manifests elements of the following genres : splatter film , black comedy , and a post -

transmitter integrated with a valve ( installed on each wheel ) transmits a detected air pressure signal in the form of a radio wave . an antenna located in passenger - side front pillar receives the air pressure signal transmitted by the transmitter in each wheel . the tpms reads the air pressure signal received by the antenna , and controls the warning light and the buzzer operations . it also has a judgment function to detect a system malfunction .\nback to one podcast : keith poulson on developing as an actor in the ny indie film scene .\n[ the signal ] was replacing my thoughts \u2026 it\u2019s a trick . change the way you look at things , the things you look at will change .\nif you know the characters , you know the story . but till the very ending , this film has no semblance of a narrative . perhaps the director thought that ' snapshots from the lives at a traffic signal ' would be amusing enough for the audience , but it is not so . as was the case with corporate , traffic signal begins to get involving towards the very end and a few scenes from the second half are moving .\nthis sometimes magnificent , decidedly strange film is a portrait of a terrible , rapacious man .\ntechnically the film is okay . there is not much effort made to make the film look exceptionally good or shoot it differently . it ' s functional , as is the background music . the songs are strictly okay , but the one song yehi zindagi , picturised with montages of the protagonists ' lives , is where the film comes alive for a few minutes .\ninside terminus : the making of the signal ( sd , 15 minutes ) -

all the way to the very end .\nhave really taken this warning to heart . the team of david bruckner , dan bush and jacob gentry has created a film where an electronic signal sent through the television , the radio , phones , etc . changes normal people into raging homicidal maniacs . the mysterious signal distorts perceptions and scrambles receptors in the brain so people\u2019s logic is skewed and they do things they normally wouldn\u2019t do\u2026like kill everyone in sight .\nsilsila is the\nmanager\nof one traffic signal , that is he collects the\nhafta\n( protection tax ) from each signal squatter plying his trade . there ' s tsunami , a little scavenger boy , there ' s . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthe blu -

- a series of staccato , punctuated episodes and incidents about folk living around a traffic signal . when you hear of it , it sounds like an interesting concept . but however you may try stretching it , it just does not have enough meat for a full length feature film .\nthe signal is a decent horror flick that had the potential of being a great film . the problem with this film is that it starts off promising enough , but halfway through it loses its strength , and becomes a decent flick . what could have been an effective horror flick is brought down by a weak second half . the film is watchable , but it could have been reworked a bit because there are some good ideas on - screen . the films cast do a pretty decent job here , and the plot is pretty interesting as well . the films faults lie in the second half of the film where it falls apart . i think it ' \\ s a shame because this could have been a memorable horror flick with an effective plot . unfortunately , the signal leaves you wanting a bit more from the story , and as a horror film . this is a low - budget psycho slasher film that almost gets it right . the script was good , but like i previously stated , if only there could have been a bit more effort put into the second half , it would have made the signal a much more memorable ride . there are some elements that work well , but most of them don ' t quite get there . however you do see the potential of a very good horror film here , it ' s just too bad that some ideas fell flat . overall a decent horror flick that is worth watching , but it leaves a lot to be desired as well . for a low - budget film , this is a decent try ; if only the script would have been reworked a bit , then the signal would have been a terrific film .\nthe signal is a high concept film with big production value and an intimate character story , completed on relatively low budget \u2014 under $ 4 million . the low - fi fx work not only looks great , but feels unique . the practical fx that was done by legacy , formerly the stan winston studio . the film also features beautiful , incredibly artful cinematography , and compositions that you wouldn\u2019t expect from a genre film of this budget level . its no surprise that director william eubank is a former cinematographer .\n: the signal messes with peoples ' perceptions . several scenes are re - shot with a different character to show how the perceptions of the infected are warped . in particular ,\n. a very funny slasher / horror film , a electronic signal is being transmitted on the phones , tv and radio which make people kill each other there are only a few sane people left , very comical scenes . this film changes the course of infectious zombie movies . opens like a 1970 drive in movie and turns to pure fun . 4 1 / 2 stars\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\nwe find someone embracing the strange ; dedicating not just a film to it , but letting it , for the most , and brilliant , part letting that strangeness move and alter the film in frustrating , tantalizing , and often unknown and unknowable ways .\npremiered at sundance film festival last year , it generated a lot of buzz . it follows three different perspectives ( broken down into segments or \u201ctransmissions\u201d in the film ) that are each written and directed by three different people .\nwhat saves this film is the cast that has given noteworthy performances . kunal khemu manages to shoulder the film , and neetu chandra is graceful and watchable . sudhir mishra , with his towering personality and evocative eyes , looks every part the enigmatic mafia don .\nmade in 2007 ( shot in less than 2 weeks and on a $ 50 , 000 budget ) , the signal was released in 2008 after the filmmakers needed to find a song to replace an unlicensed cover of lou reed\u2019s \u201cperfect day\u201d ( they settled on a joy division cover instead ) . the film\u2019s plot is simple \u2013 a signal , transmitted via phone , radio , and television , is inexplicably turning people into psychopaths . not mindless zombies , ( not even semi - mindless like the tool - wielding ones in the crazies ) but rational , resourceful , conversational psychos who genuinely believe they should be killing the people they\u2019re killing . no other crimes \u2013 no theft , rape , jaywalking , white - collar crime ; just murder . set in the ( i believe , fictional ) city of terminus , the film revolves mainly around mya ( anessa ramsey ) , her husband lewis ( a . j . bowden ) , and her boyfriend ben ( justin welborn ) .\nin 2002 , alien was deemed\nculturally , historically or aesthetically significant\nby the national film preservation board of the united states , and was inducted into the national film registry of the library of congress for historical preservation alongside other films of 1979 including all that jazz , apocalypse now , the black stallion , and manhattan . in 2008 the american film institute ranked alien as the seventh - best film in the science fiction genre as part of afi ' s 10 top 10 , a cbs television special ranking the ten greatest movies in ten classic american film genres . the ranks were based on a poll of over 1 , 500 film artists , critics , and historians , with alien ranking just above terminator 2 : judgment day ( 1991 ) and just below ridley scott ' s other science fiction film blade runner ( 1982 ) . the same year , empire magazine ranked it thirty - third on its list of the five hundred greatest movies of all time , based on a poll of 10 , 200 readers , critics , and members of the film industry .\nthat strange signal , however , is coming not just from the television , but from radios , phones , and every other connected device \u2013 and as mya makes her way back home to lewis , perhaps for the last time , she bears witness to the signal\u2019s unsettling effects on its human receivers . deranged servants to their own primal impulses , victims of the signal suffer hallucinations that play out their anxieties and desires , even as they remain utterly , forcefully convinced of their own sanity .\nthe opening sequence is an excerpt from\nthe hap hapgood story ,\na winning entry in the 48 - hour film festival directed by jacob gentry .\nthe name of the city in the film is terminus . the movie was filmed entirely in atlanta , georgia which was originally called terminus when it was settled in 1837 .\noriginally , no film companies wanted to make the film , including 20th century fox . they stated various reasons , most being that it was too bloody . it was not until walter hill came on board that 20th century fox agreed to make the film , on the condition that the violence was toned down ; even after agreeing to make the movie , fox still rejected the first cut for being\ntoo bloody\n.\ntraffic signal also has a major drawback in that it ' s been dubbed , where a story like this was asking for the more - real sync sound .\nthat strange signal , however , is coming not just from the television , but from radios , phones , and every other connected device \u2013 and as mya makes her way back home to lewis , perhaps for the last time , she bears witness to the signal ' s unsettling effects on its human receivers . deranged servants to their own primal impulses , victims of the signal suffer hallucinations that play out their anxieties and desires , even as they remain utterly , forcefully convinced of their own sanity .\nin some ways the signal reminds me a lot of pontypool . the stories and very different , but the tone and atmosphere are very similar , and both can be considered \u201cthinking man\u2019s horror\u201d .\ni don ' t know about those series ( classic , comfort , pinnacle ) . they sound like llumar films . i wouldn ' t use a dye - based film . i like 3m films because of the daily experience with their film and adhesive products . the 3m colorstable is a nano - carbon , non - metallic film . it ' s better than dye - based for not much more . $ 350 is probably for a ceramic based film ( pinnacle ? ) . and if they are selling the pinnacle then the price should be ok . the question would be if you want the extra heat rejection but the film may be thicker ( distortion ) .\ngm\u0092s update to the document earlier . both are off gm\u0092s website antenna system important : radio systems with the antenna ( s ) in the glass are subject to posssible interference when an aftermarket window tint is applied . diversity antenna the diversity antenna system may use both front and back windows with an integral antenna built between the glass layers of the windshield and as an appliqu\u00e9 to the rear glass . any damage to the antenna requires replacing the glass . this system is designed to deliver the best radio signal reception possible . two antennas are used to form a diversity system . the primary antenna is part of the rear window and looks similar to the defogger grid . this antenna receives both am and fm signals . the secondary antenna is part of the front windshield and receives only fm signals . the antenna reception signals are sorted out by the radio antenna module . the radio antenna module is enabled when the radio is turned on . when the am or fm band is selected on the radio , the antenna module connects the rear window antenna directly to the radio . in addition , when the fm band is selected an enable signal is sent to the antenna module . superimposed on this enable signal is the strength of the signal being received by the radio tuner . the antenna module switches between the antennas , monitoring the radio signal strength and combines the signals and phase aligns them to create one strong signal\nan interview with writer / director boots riley about his incendiary new film ,\nsorry to bother you .\nleads many to compare it with the philosophy of many zombie films . the sudden violence of the film certainly lends itself to the comparison , as does the brutal scenes of gore . still ,\nno one knows for sure what exists in the signal . although many people have heard newscasts ( possibly about murder or terrorism ) and have seen faces and woodlike structures within the transmission of the signal . some people also believe that the signal is the 70 ' s style opening sequence of the movie , shown on ben ' s tv in the beginning , that has been scrambled . the scrambled version of the broadcast has created a superfear of paranoia that subliminally enters the mind and makes some people think everyone is out to get them , but basically the signal just makes people become utterly confused and unable to distinguish between what ' s real and what ' s unreal and between normal behaviour and unusual behaviour . the only problem with this theory is that not everyone was tuned into the same channel that was on ben ' s tv . ( although that really wouldn ' t matter because the signal was on every channel plus all radio stations and even mobile phones ) .\nthe success of alien spawned a media franchise of novels , comic books , video games , and toys , as well as three sequel and two prequel films . it launched weaver ' s acting career by providing her with her first lead role , and the story of her character ripley ' s encounters with the alien creatures became the thematic thread that ran through the film sequels aliens ( 1986 ) , alien 3 ( 1992 ) and alien resurrection ( 1997 ) . the film also led to two crossover films with the predator franchise , alien vs . predator ( 2004 ) and aliens vs . predator : requiem ( 2007 ) , as well as a prequel series comprising prometheus ( 2012 ) and alien : covenant ( 2017 ) .\ntheir movie premiered at 2007 ' s sundance film festival , but its homemade feel is of a piece with the pseudo - do - it - yourself horror philosophy of\ncloverfield\nand\ngeorge a . romero ' s diary of the dead ,\ntwo current horror movies that suggest the genre ' s prerogatives have undergone a paradigm shift . the subtexts are visibly close to the surface .\nthe signal\nis like a romero zombie movie in which the zombies aren ' t dead , they ' re just really temperamental . evil here is technology - born . maybe our cellphones and satellite dishes are giving us all the crazy . if the message is ,\nturn off your tv , put your phones away , and watch more movies ,\nyou ' ll get no argument from me .\nthere will be blood establishes itself as a film of darwinian ferocity , a stark and pitiless parable of american capitalism .\na behind - the - scene book was released to accompany the film , titled the book of alien , containing many concept sketches and production photographs , as well as details on the making of the film . topps released a set of trading cards based on the film . a soundtrack album was also released on vinyl featuring selections of goldsmith ' s score , and a single of the main theme was released in 1980 . heavy metal also produced an alien calendar for the 1980 year .\nthe epic game franchise is getting a huge film adaptation , directed by duncan jones ( moon ) . it\u2019s the war between humans and orcs over the future of azeroth , with good and bad people on both sides of the conflict . everything we\u2019ve seen from this film so far looks just jaw - dropping , and we were excited to hear how many practical effects the film has . fingers crossed that jones can actually pull this off .\nwith a strong focus on characters and dialogue , the film offers a cast of unknowns and non - professional actors , making the audience feels like it is participating in a discovery on multiple levels . forgoing jump scares and the traditional horror tropes , the film provides a surreal , primal , unexpected and unsettling journey through a society gone mad . we hesitate to tell you more because the signal , which is currently streaming on netflix , is something you need to experience for yourselves .\none thing that really impressed me with this movie was the ending . there is no definite answer as to how the movie ends . the signal has affected everyone in some manner , and the movie seems to end in a few different ways before the actual ending . the final ending leaves the film wide open as to closure , but not in a way that you would be expecting a sequel .\nalien garnered both critical acclaim and box office success , receiving an academy award for best visual effects , saturn awards for best science fiction film , best direction for scott , and best supporting actress for cartwright , and a hugo award for best dramatic presentation , along with numerous other award nominations . it has remained highly praised in subsequent decades , being inducted into the national film registry of the library of congress in 2002 for historical preservation as a film which is\nculturally , historically , or aesthetically significant\n. in 2008 it was ranked as the seventh - best film in the science fiction genre by the american film institute , and as the thirty - third greatest movie of all time by empire magazine .\nif transmission one slowly raises the film\u2019s horror to a pitch of explosive intensity , then jacob gentry\u2019s transmission two : the jealousy monster disorients the viewer even further with a violent swing in mood . this time showing the insanity that has afflicted terminus from the deluded perspective of the insane themselves , the film\u2019s middle section plays itself out as high farce \u2013 with a bodycount .\nthe signal ( 2007 ) official trailer # 1 -

rate film , and said that he was secretly glad that he didn ' t\nget a fair mention in the screen credits .\nthe film rambles on with a series of disconnected happenings - - an executive and his wife fight in their luxurious car at the signal , a regular believes giving money to beggars will help his prospects , flower girls fight in the middle of the road , a beggar boy lies about his father being dead , just when the ' dead ' man sits up behind him .\n\u2019the signal\u2019 features a competent 1080p / avc - encoded transfer that does a decent job handling a variety of gloomy interiors and heavy shadows . colors have been intentionally robbed of deep reds , but the resultant palette doesn\u2019t suffer from the abundance of blue and brown tones left in their place . skintones look fairly natural , blacks are inky , and contrast is spot - on for a film drenched in murky set design and lighting . while there is a bit of crushing and noise in the darkest shots , there isn\u2019t any significant artifacting , edge enhancement , or dnr . detail is also impressive , especially when considering the film\u2019s meager budget - - the film\u2019s textures and edges may not be as sharp as those in the most expensive flicks on the market , but close - ups and exterior shots are quite crisp and three dimensional . better still , \u2018the signal\u2019s hdv source generates the same rickshaw atmosphere as the sd dv - captured footage in \u201928 days later\u2019 without falling prey to that film\u2019s pesky resolution and clarity issues .\n: not where the signal came from , what it ' s supposed to do , or how to stop it . . . but how you spend your last day when the apocalypse rolls around .\nlike many of the best comedies and tragedies , this weimar - era silent film understands how each mode is often a hair ' s breadth from the other .\n, although is not as effective . the episode does however offer up the film\u0092s single most demented moment \u0096 where scott poythress announces that he can electrically stimulate life back into sahr nguajah\u0092s severed head and then proceeds to have a conversation with the decapitated head , which even demands a cigarette from him . scott poythress gives a rather funny performance while under the influence of the signal .\njonathan liebesman ( ninja turtles , battle los angeles ) directs this remake of the popular book turned into a 1995 robin williams film . we don\u2019t know how it\u2019ll differ from that film but i\u2019d expect bigger effects and a slightly different story , enough to warrant its existence .\n\u2019the signal\u2019 may not be the latest and greatest evolution of horror to invade your home theater , but it\u2019s a surprisingly solid , well - crafted thriller that offers a great cast and story . despite the low - key , low - budget nature of the production , magnolia has released the film on blu - ray with a faithful video transfer , an excellent dts hd ma audio track , and a heaping portion of supplemental features . while it can\u2019t go head to head with more expensive flicks on the market , \u2018the signal\u2019 manages to defy its straight -

[ 4 ] as a result , o ' bannon filed a complaint with the writers guild of america , who eventually ruled in his favor . despite an appeal by hill , the film ultimately credited its story to o ' bannon and shusett , and the screenplay to o ' bannon ; hill and giler were not mentioned at all . however , despite this official ruling , it is certain hill and giler contributed at least some aspects to the finished film .\nthat\u2019s too bad because the film feels truest when michael is grappling with his contradictions . his struggle , as well as the film\u2019s moody thoughtfulness , the lumet touches and the agreeable presence of sydney pollack in a small role , overtly invokes 1970s american cinema . but mr . lumet and mr . pollack didn\u2019t give hollywood its social conscience , which comes and goes and depends on the audience to sustain it . in some ways , michael is a grimmer , compromised version of erin brockovich , the freewheeling legal clerk in the short skirts who leads the charge against social injustice in mr . soderbergh\u2019s populist 2000 drama . ( michael has to be dragged . ) the main difference is that the earlier film\u2019s optimism feels like a faded signal from a faraway land .\nthe third transmission falls along the lines of a horror / love story where both interested parties find the wife , and the final twisted showdown comes to a peak . even in the ending , the line between what is actually happening and what is being fed into their minds by the signal is blurry .\n. given how obsessed with sex he is ( he has almost no lines not revolving around women ) he may have been affected by the signal as well and become obsessed to the point of not noticing the chaos around him .\nwith so many horror flicks out there to watch , it\u2019s completely understandable that one or two of the really good ones may have escaped your netflix queue . the signal , written and directed by david bruckner , dan bush and jacob gentry , is one of those . a film about a group of citizens living in the seemingly quiet fictional metropolis of terminus , the narrative is divided into three segments\u2014crazy in love , the jealousy monster and escape from terminus . the film provides an almost indefinable blend of genres\u2014horror , science fiction , comedy and the deep , dark relationship drama .\n: jim parsons maintains a supernatural level of obliviousness to the situation around him . this adds some great comedy to the film ' s second act , but unfortunately leads to\nlean budget does creep in , the sound design is still pretty solid . the broadcasts of the signal itself are backed by a hellish amount of bass , and even if the surrounds are used a little unevenly , they ' re really effective at ratcheting up the tension . the film ' s dialogue can sound kind of strained at times , but that ' s not all that surprising for a lower - budgeted flick .\nif transmission one slowly raises the film ' s horror to a pitch of explosive intensity , then jacob gentry ' s transmission two : the jealousy monster disorients the viewer even further with a violent swing in mood . this time showing the insanity that has afflicted terminus from the deluded perspective of the insane themselves , the film ' s middle section plays itself out as high farce - with a bodycount .\nthe hap hapgood story ( sd , 9 minutes ) - - glimpsed for a few , brief moments at the beginning of the film , the directors\u2019 2003 slasher short is available here in its full glory . i found myself shrugging my shoulders on this one , but completists and fans of the \u201c48 hour film project\u201d will get a kick out of its inclusion .\ndirectors\u2019 commentary - - directors david bruckner , dan bush , and jacob gentry sit down for a unique discussion about the trials and tribulations of bringing a $ 50 , 000 production like \u2018the signal\u2019 to life . however , instead of patting each other on the back for their individual contributions to the film , each transmission\u2019s director is kicked out of the room so his two remaining comrades can talk about his portion of the film behind his back . it\u2019s a small but crucial decision that easily makes this track worth a listen . to my relief , i found that the directors have a wonderful report with each other as well as a knack for avoiding technical chit - chat in favor of engaging accounts of the low - budget production . they discuss their casting process , their work with the actors , the genesis of the film , and the areas in which they succeeded and failed in their final visions . in the end , if you even remotely enjoyed \u2018the signal , \u2019 be sure to listen to this excellent commentary .\nsilsila is the\nmanager\nof one traffic signal , that is he collects the\nhafta\n( protection tax ) from each signal squatter plying his trade . there ' s tsunami , a little scavenger boy , there ' s rani - a gujrati girl selling ethnic clothes on the sidewalk , and there ' s dominic - a drug addict and the prostitute who feels for him . then there ' s silsila himself , who ' s an orphan , and reports to jaffer bhai the local goon . jaffer bhai in turn reports to haji the leader of the local mafia . and the hafta , from each traffic signal and territory haji controls , seeps upward to the politicians . life is routine , until silsila and jaffer bhai get caught up in a chain of events which threatens the very source of their livelihood - the traffic signal itself , and silsila must either remain mute with fear or protest . . .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\nvampire clay a\nfilm of eerie earthenware and earthworms - that - turn . . . with enough idiosyncrasy to earn itself the s\u2026 urltoken 2 hours ago\nit ?

guy shorthand that calls back to bogart and other classic film leads , but it\u2019s pretty behind the times in the \u201980s . as feminist as claremont seems to be in other places , i\u2019m really surprised that none of the females in his life ever called wolverine out for his condescension .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nakshay kumar seems to be completely influenced by regional content . so after making oh my god ! , which was based on a gujarati play , he is now working on a full fledged marathi film .\nsays ashwini yardi , akshay kumar ' s partner in their production house , grazing goat pictures ,\nmaking a marathi movie was my idea . i am a maharashtrian and i wanted to do a film in my mother tongue in memory of baburao pai , my grandfather , who was one of v . shantaram ' s partners in prabhat film company in the 1920s .\nset in the 50s and 60s , it has been shot entirely in satara during may and june . for the period look and feel , props like old buses and other such vehicles have been used . directed by rajeev patil of national award winning marathi film , jogwa fame , the film is currently in the post -

factor run where she has any agency of her own in any story .\nonly tangentially related to this episode \u2014 the wildfire smoke basically blanketed large chunks of western canada this entire past week after the episode recording .\ni suddenly want to go back and re - read mutant x . havoc has been one of my favourite characters since i started reading comics with peter david\u2019s x - factor run , and i was really excited that he was basically going to get his own corner of the multiverse as his private playground .\ni remember the first 12 issue arc being not terrible and having some interesting concepts \u2014 i also really liked that the universe where havoc was one of the premiere heroes was a lot more peaceful and had less mutant prejudice \u2014 but it quickly went off the rails following that story\u2019s conclusion . perhaps not coincidentally , the book had originally only been pitched as a 12 issue mini - series , and it\u2019s initial sales were good enough for the editors to push howard mackie to expand it into an on - going .\nalso , the juggernaut may be a jerk , but he\u2019s great at being a jerk . has there been a cold open i\u2019m forgetting explaining his powers ?\nbased on a couple cameo appearences ( ie rick redfern and joanie caucus in days of future past , as well as a lot of other drop ins ) the doonsbury characters exist in the marvel universe . so how many are actually mutants themselves ? i seem to recall mike doonsbury making one of his summer daydreams come true\u2026which sounds a lot like franklin richards level reality warping to me .\nso i\u2019m curious about the view of gender identity in the dazzler / juggernaut situation . i think you\u2019re right 90 % of the time on this . but i read this juggernaut thing really differently .\ni saw it as juggernaut saying , the next person you randomly attack for no reason might kill you , especially if you insist on picking fights way outside your weight class . condescending ? totally . paternalistic ? definitely . but he\u2019s also not wrong . had she done that with sabertooth , the beyonder , or any one of a dozen other hardcore villains , she\u2019d be a corpse . especially if he\u2019s a fan of the music , i can totally see him saying that .\ni\u2019m all for no - limits feminism , and there\u2019s a lot that really troubles me about some of the sexist coding in comics . but this struck me as a small dog picking a fight with a big dog , and the big one telling him to knock it off . rather than a \u201cwomens should know their place\u201d thing .\nactually , i shouldn\u2019t have said no reason . as you\u2019re correct nearly taking people out with cars is horrible , still . the rest stands .\nthe whole thing would read as less condescending and sexist if he wasn\u2019t calling her things like \u201cdoll\u201d and \u201cfrail\u201d the whole time . incidentally , was there a time in human history when people actually referred to women as \u201cfrail\u201d ? i\u2019ve literally never heard that time used outside of a claremont comic .\nthat last sentence should read \u201cthat term , \u201d not \u201cthat time . \u201d word press really needs an edit button .\ntouche\u2019 sam . \u201cfrail\u201d is pretty bad . but i think condescending is definitely supposed to be the point here . while i don\u2019t think sexism is appropriate , from a villain like juggernaut it\u2019s at least not a surprise . nor portrayed as something to be emulated .\nyeah , this moment gave me pause too . i mean , we\u2019re talking about what claremont intended juggernaut to express . i think he was trying to show juggernaut as a ) confused that dazzler , who is a pop singer as far as he knows , is trying to fight him \u2013 and b ) conflicted because this is someone who he really likes and has positive feelings for and she\u2019s fighting him . he doesn\u2019t want to hurt her .\njuggernaut just wants her to stop , and to not be involved in this world . reading sexism out of it needs us to assume that claremont intended this scene to show juggernaut as a sexist . why would he suddenly do that ? he certainly hasn\u2019t been portrayed that way up till now . or we have to assume that claremont himself is being sexist by writing \u201cnormal\u201d dialogue which reflects his internalized misogyny . the gender politics of the x - men up to this point don\u2019t give me much confidence in this theory .\ni can easily imagine juggernaut behaving roughly the same way if he had come up against a male celebrity mutant part time superhero of whom he was a big fan .\nyeah , i agree with this sentiment . i can picture him saying the same thing after beating the shit out of josh guthrie .\nso you guys are getting pretty close to fall of the mutants , eh ? you\u2019ve covered up to uncanny x - men 219 ( fall of the mutants omnibus starts at 220 ) , new mutants up to 54 ( fall starts at 55 ) , and x - factor up to 15 ( fall starts at 18 ) . obviously this event is huge , so i\u2019m curious as to how you plan to cover it . thanks !\nespecially as it\u2019s less \u201cone big story\u201d and more \u201cthree stories united thematically . \u201d\n. . . i also want them to cover the daredevil issues somewhere in there , because the notion that daredevil of all books , had crossovers for this and inferno is just . . . awesome .\nthe fact that daredevil had crossovers is pretty self - explanatory \u2013 ann nocenti was writing daredevil at the time . however , she did a really good job at making the stories tangential . they weren\u2019t necessary to understand the x - men world , but the backdrop usually did a good job of making the daredevil story richer . daredevil 252 ( ground zero ) is a very good example in a very nocenti - an way .\ni know the background of them and the nocenti / claremont relationship and they\u2019re loose , tangential relationship , but they\u2019re still wonderful comics .\nreally enjoyable little surrealistic digressions and really go in some fun directions . inessential , sure . but nocenti gets a lot out of dd fighting a vacuum and a truck - eating dentist .\nthank you for making me care for havok . i\u2019v always seen him as rather blend character before hearing this episode . also , i would vote for this era\u2019s psylocke any day of the weak instead of the later sexified psylocke .\nmagneto should not needle wanda about having grandkids , as that might lead to her rewriting all of reality again .\nthis episode reminded me of havok\u2019s \u201chow about alex\u201d speech ( where he advocated rejecting all labels instead of being called a mutant ) . while it was certainly problematic , i thought it felt like something he would say . the character here is someone who isn\u2019t necessarily hateful of his powers ( like rogue ) , but is someone who wants to reject all the responsibility that goes with them . his goal is normalcy . so , as long as you don\u2019t read into the speech an editorial belief that it\u2019s the correct thought , i thought it was a good addition to that issue .\nyou know , the \u201cm - word\u201d speech always struck me as something alex would say , too . not just because of his personality , either . he is a good - looking , white , cis - gender male who expects to be treated as an individual \u2013 not a member ( or representative ) of a \u201cgroup . \u201d someone like that has been raised to believe that they , as an individual , are only an individual . then throw in alex\u2019s individual psychology ( as you mention , \u201cnormalcy\u201d being his big goal ) . then throw in his leading an avengers team , the ( nominal ) point of which was to show mutant - human cooperation ( and specifically to show how mutants were heroes just like the avengers ) and i agree that it\u2019s a natural thing for him to say . like you say , so long as you don\u2019t read it as the editorial position ( which didn\u2019t occur to me on my first read of it , honestly ) , it reads as a very reasonable thing for someone with alex\u2019s particular background , personality , and experiences to say .\n\u201cheads up\u2013 if havok\u2019s position in ua # 5 really upset you , it\u2019s time to drown yourself hobo piss . seriously , do it . it\u2019s the only solution . \u201d\ni think any attempt at subtley is out the window . ( the tweet was later deleted , but too many sites picked up on it for it to be ignored )\nsee also the later issue where rogue objects to havok\u2019s comments and instead of a potentially interesting debate , it become a sequence of wanda telling rogue she\u2019s wrong , without offering any proper justification . of course , the fact that alex can pass as a blond white guy ( and rogue and wanda are both human norm too ) gives a very\u201d off\u201d feel to the whole thing .\nkitty\u2019s rebuttal in either uncanny or all - new \u2013i don\u2019t recall which off the top of my head\u2013remains the gold standard for on - page smackdowns as far as i\u2019m concerned .\nit is interesting to watch the different writers provide commentary via the mouths of their respective current characters to \u201csmack down\u201d commentary from other writers in a shared universe with which they disagree . reminds me of those \u201cheroes texting\u201d memes only more\u2026 fulfilling and relevant and , even , less cringe worthy ? maybe ? but when it comes to them bickering / commenting in real - life social media shit gets awkward .\noh , and in light of this sort of thing , i really find it interesting that in the pre - inferno new mutants issues where they riff with the hellions they proudly accept being called \u201cthe muties\u201d by emma\u2019s students .\nwell , i\u2019m not arguing that the guy handles criticism well , just that it\u2019s something that fits what alex summers would say . maybe i\u2019m too charitable towards mr . remender , but i\u2019m fine with the speech existing for exploring his character ( and the whole idea of mutants \u201cpassing\u201d and how that affects mutant politics ) . and , as pointed out below , it set up kitty pryde\u2019s rebuttal , which is also very much in character ( except that she actually managed to make a point without resorting to racial slurs this time ! ) .\ni could be wrong , but i thought that there might have been some notice somewhere that places \u201cx - men versus avengers\u201d miniseries in the first trip to new york that havok took .\nhmmm . it was coming out the same time , and according to the marvel wikia , havok and dazzler are in every issue .\ni hated these issues when they came out . of course , it\u2019s been three decades , and i\u2019ve never wanted to reread them , so i can\u2019t say in hindsight if it would have been better rereading with later context . but at this point :\n1 ) my favorite x - men are all off the team . ( though hey , this arc was actually coming out the same time as excalibur started , meaning that i could read about many of those favorites somewhere else ! )\n2 ) the characters replacing them are all characters i have no connection to whatsoever . with the possible exception of dazzler\u2019s origin story back in the byrne days , i\u2019d never read any comic with these characters in it before they showed up in x - men around this time . ( it does seem surprising to me that i hadn\u2019t read anything with havok in it\u2026 does he maybe show up at scott\u2019s wedding or something ? ) ( how cool would it have been if a couple of the new mutants had graduated up to the x - men instead ? )\n3 ) these issues are just a random jumble of things . different art ( mostly dodgy ) every issue . plot that revolves around arbitrary crap happening . i mean , two issues in a row things are set off by our \u201cheroes\u201d being nearly run over / run off the road completely by accident ? !\n4 ) twice in two issues we have the gimmick of \u201ci recognize this from my time reading the x - men\u2019s files . \u201d right\u2026\n5 ) the issues are driven by the stars acting stupidly . dazzler taking on juggernaut by himself , when he wasn\u2019t obviously doing something dangerous ? that\u2019s freaking insane . then there\u2019s pretty much everything havok does . also\u2026\n6 ) wiping havok\u2019s mind of his knowledge of meeting the x - men is completely insane and unethical . i mean , beyond the fundamental questions about wiping someone\u2019s mind in any circumstances , isn\u2019t the knowledge that someone has been targeting x - men and related mutants literally a matter of life and death for havok ? there\u2019s every reason to think that he and lorna will be targets of the marauders , and of course as this issue reveals they actually are targets .\n8 ) finally , the brood on earth is not a subplot you can forget about for a year ! so at the end of # 218 alex knows it\u2019s vital to contact the x - men about the brood . at the beginning of # 219 he\u2019s visited the x - men and had his mind erased . why didn\u2019t he just call them ? if if alex somehow forgot to tell the x - men why he came to visit them , why didn\u2019t betsy at least notice it in his mind when she was heavily editing it ? this is a potential extinction event for the human race , two of the heroes know about it and realize how serious it is , yet it is completely dropped without a word .\nhonestly , i\u2019ve always assumed this represented some sort of editorial interference in plotting . something like \u201csorry chris , you\u2019ve got to drop everything instantly and start a crossover next month ! \u201d\nwhoops , got confused about the timeline . this was still a year before excalibur , so my favorite x - men were all completely sidelined rather than appearing elsewhere .\ni think plan omega\u2019s intent was that the x - men could stop reacting to everything and begin to go after their enemies . unfortunately , it was never really stated that way and we won\u2019t see it implemented until the australia period , with some mixed results ( i think about half of those issues were the x - men reacting to some situation ) .\nwhen you put it like that it sounds like a good idea , but what they actually do is leave as large as possible a target for those enemies to attack and force them to react yet again . ( or just hang their friends out to dry , as they did with havok and polaris . )\na good episode that actually seems to tie these issues together than the issues themselves ever did .\ncoming out of the massacre into this prolonged dirge of an arc ( if it can be called that ) was the start of the issues where i started to lose interest , not only because that was a very stupid thing to ignore , but because the main x - team as they\u2019d lost kitty and kurt and the increased focus on wolverine didn\u2019t interest me that much . ( the casual ignoring of the space shark didn\u2019t help as it was just too big a thing to ignore lightly )\nwhilst technically betsy might be captain britain\u2019s little sister ( which you mention at least twice ) , it\u2019d be more accurate to say she\u2019s his twin sister , i\u2019m not even sure who the older of the two actually is , nor by how many minutes , but someone else might i\u2019m sure .\noh and the \u201clet\u2019s kill him\u201d bit again ? ? i\u2019ve said it before , i\u2019ll say it again , psylocke is frighteningly keen to kill people since her introduction , generally a little too kill - happy for my tastes , or at least for someone else not to pull her up on it .\nthe third doctor was employed as \u201cscientific advisor\u201d to unit whilst stuck on earth and was officially under the brigadiers command , though the doctor cheerfully ignored him when it suited him , but respected him immensely , and the doctor has never officially resigned his position .\nwhen the much loved actor who played the brigadier died in 2011 , the series producer and showrunner steven moffatt said in his tribute \u201c\u2026 out of all the people the doctor has met , in all of space and time , nicholas courtney\u2019s brigadier alistair gordon lethbridge - stewart was the only one who was ever his boss . \u201d\nand in a later episode , the then current scientific advisor , the brigadiers daughter kate , says of the 12th doctor ; \u201cwelcome to the only planet in the universe where we get to say this : he\u2019s on the payroll . \u201d\nsorry , i\u2019ve been a doctor who nerd a lot longer than i\u2019ve been an x - men nerd . i\u2019ll try to get it out of my system before your excalibur coverage starts .\nmarvel has a pretty spotty history with scientist characters , but sometimes they really hit something dead - on . havok and polaris as phd students who only want to be left alone to do their research , but instead have to constantly deal with real - world crises and being possessed , is such a perfect plot set - up for me . i wish it had been explored further ( or revisited in a drs . havok and polaris secret wars miniseries ) .\ni just got back from pax prime and am still catching up on work , but i\u2019d like to write a piece for the blog about exactly that sometime . keep an eye out ; hopefully i\u2019ll get to that before too long ! ( and thanks for asking ! )\ni hope it will at least take a moment to have a jerry seinfeld style \u201cwhat\u2019s the deal with ultimate longshot ? \u201d because i\u2019m still trying to recover from that .\nit was a radical upside - down , indeed . i\u2019ve got to admit i liked him a lot , though \u2013so shocking !\noh , man . we are now up to where i started collecting x - books on my own , instead of borrowing from a friend . \u2013 the havok issue was the first one i bought for myself , and it made a halfway decent jumping - on point . this , x - factor 17 and whatever issue of classic x - men came out that month ( think it was the reprint of 99 ) were where i started , and ran straight through until the 90s happened to the entire line .\ni didn\u2019t get to these issues until i was far down the rabbit hole of x - men addiction ; actually i think i got them as reprints of \u201csabertooth classic\u201d in the \u201990s\u2026 ick\u2026 but getting to my point , the bit about psylocke suggesting they just outright murder alex always struck me as the most important bit for this period . her transformation in \u201cacts of vengeance\u201d just seems to be a natural progression over the post \u201cmassacre\u201d era that her battle with creed hinted at , but truly came to the fore , with this arc .\ni have also noticed her brother , brian , was a bit of an epic , hard drinkin\u2019 fist full o\u2019 assholes around this time in excalibur . toss in jamie and we have an extremely interesting dynamic of a family of mostly heroes that is still , generally , a bunch of jerks . their interactions with the summers clan has depths that have shamefully not yet been explored .\n\u2026and sorry to keep commenting but this is totally an amazing piece of david wynne\u2019s art and just listened to his spots on fantasticast . fuckin\u2019 love that dude and thank you all for introducing me to his work\njust realized i put this in the as mentioned in thread by accident . powers that be , feel free to delete that ! ( sorry . )\npsylocke\u2019s suggestion that havok needs to be killed is pretty bonkers . ( havok is an auxiliary x - man and she presents basically no good reason for killing him ! ) despite that , it seems to indicate an interesting mandate for the character that claremont never totally got around to fleshing out : that despite those prissy pink pajamas she\u2019s meant to be ruthlessly pragmatic and actually kind of shady . we\u2019ll see this expressed again again from time to time \u2014 like when she mentally pushes the team through the siege perilous against their wills\u2013 but it never quite develops into a real story . ( this , to me , is related to but separate from the more often explored but somewhat less interesting notion that she longs to be more physically imposing . )\nthe dark turn the book seems to be taking at this point is actually pretty exciting on an issue by issue basis . it\u2019s too bad that it 1 ) ends up amounting to not all that much and 2 ) makes hardly any sense if you think about it too hard .\ni think juggernaut\u2019s skull - cap first appeared in marvel team - up # 150 , which was also the last issue of that run of the series . the story has juggy giving black tom the crystal gym of cyttorak and tom not appreciating becoming all big and juggernauty . it\u2019s set while rachel was still on the team as just rachel , not phoenix . haven\u2019t read it in ages , and sadly it\u2019s not available on marvel unlimited .\nthe juggernaut secondary skull - cap actually made its first appearance in marvel team - up # 150 ( which happens to be my first exposure to an x - men story ever ! woot ) . it\u2019s actually quite ingenious . since his helmet is the one thing protecting him from those pesky telepaths and every battle with the x - men essentially boils down to everyone trying to get his helmet off so that a telepath can knock him down , why not provide an added level of protection , with a second , even more tightly fitted helmet underneath the first one ? \ud83d\ude42\nif you havent read this mtu story , you should , i think it also bleeds into the main book continuity at some point . in this story rogue absorbs juggernaut\u2019s powers turning into juggerrogue , which i distinctly remember getting referenced later on .\nsave my name , email , and website in this browser for the next time i comment .\nart by david wynne . prints and cards available until 8 / 30 / 2015 at the shop , or contact david to purchase the original .\nthe opening gimmick who cried wolf .

the buried giant of the title is an allegory for the buried hatchet ; the repression of hatreds , resentments and the desire for violent redress . it prevents justice being attained , but also impedes the never - ending cycle of tit - for - tat .\nif there are rare moments in the buried giant when the plot does teeter into pastiche , and the swords and sorcery can seem a tad silly , then these are more than compensated for by a power and a strangeness that are , in the shakespearean sense of the word , weird . \u201cthere\u2019s a journey we must go on , and no more delay \u2026\u201d it is surely no coincidence that these words of beatrice to her husband , displayed prominently on the book\u2019s jacket , should echo the haunting final lines of kent in king lear : \u201ci have a journey , sir , shortly to go . / my master calls me ; i must not say no . \u201d old age and memory loss , suffering , love and war : what shakespeare explored in the eerie setting of pre - roman britain , ishiguro explores in the context of a period of history barely less mysterious . for all the deconstruction the buried giant performs on its manifold sources and inspirations , the ultimate measure of ishiguro\u2019s achievement is that his novel is more than worthy to take its place alongside them . the quest undertaken by axl and beatrice is not merely a search for their son , but one that follows in the footsteps of sir gawain , and tennyson\u2019s king arthur , and frodo . the novel\u2019s parting assurance is affecting precisely because it is so hard - won : \u201cbut god will know the slow tread of an old couple\u2019s love for each other , and understand how bleak shadows make part of its whole . \u201d\nit was a large lovely garden , with soft green grass . here and there over the grass stood beautiful flowers like stars , and there were twelve peach - trees that in the spring - time broke out into delicate blossoms of pink and pearl , and in the autumn bore rich fruit . the birds sat on the trees and sang so sweetly that the children used to stop their games in order to listen to them .

' for on the palms of the child ' s hands were the prints of two nails , and the prints of two nails were on the little feet .\nwhat i feel , confronted with these photos , is not just a deep kinship , but also a form of continuity . we are here together and the only way to make ourselves at home is to share the land with these others , the animals which , as shepard remarked , make us human . this was a view held by many berliners back in the time of the wall , as von reiswitz recalled when we spoke at his studio : \u201cduring the time of the wall , the zoo was a sort of local recreational area for people from west berlin . this zoo was like a zoo inside a zoo during that time . so , people living in berlin were very close to these animals , because everybody was in a zoo . \u201d\nthere are many instances of that scar in barker\u2019s remarkable documentary , an intensely moving account of the arab spring that focuses on the stories of prominent revolutionaries across three different countries : there is osama ben - sadik , a libyan man and virginia - resident whose son , american - born muhannad , leaves behind his life in the united states to join in the fight against muammar gaddafi . in syria we meet motaz murrad and ghassan yazzin , leaders of peace movements , both of them convinced that non - violent protests could inspire reform in the assad regime . then there are sisters maryam and zainab alkhawaja , who join their human activist father abdulhadi alkhawaja to fight against the dictatorship of the al khalifa family in bahrain by utilizing pacifist methods .\neven when people are aware of their past misdeeds , can they expect forgiveness ? in a scene in a monastery , wistan challenges a monk on the religious belief that prayer and self - flagellation will absolve crimes .\nthe self - sacrificing sense of moral necessity felt by the principals here is stirring , as are the numerous frightening sequences of street combat .

' i believe the spring has come at last , ' said the giant ; and he jumped out of bed and looked out .\nas someone who has read all of ishiguro ' s previous works i was of course more than excited to finally get my hands on a copy of the buried giant . oh boy , if only that excitement hadn ' t been sourly crushed by the actual contents of this novel . the buried giant is very different from all of ishiguro ' s other novels . in fact it ' s so different that i can ' t even compare it to any of his previous novels . the main difference is of course that this is essentially a fantasy novel . now i ' ll be the first to\nuntil 2015 the skeleton was hung alongside a model whale in the mammals gallery and wasn\u2019t in full view , but in her stunning new home , where you are able to walk underneath and see her from all angles , she is even more spectacular .\noh boy , this is the book that caused such uproar among ishiguro fans ! before you pick up this novel , please believe me when i say this is going to be nothing like any of his previous work . so if you are resistant to change , you might want to skip this one . don\u2019t expect it to be the remains of the day , and definitely don\u2019t think this is going to be the next never let me go . in fact this book won\u2019t even be set in our own time or even plane of reality . on the surface of it all , the buried giant is\nyet are you so certain , good mistress , you wish to be free of this mist ? is it not better some things remain hidden from our minds ?\nit may be so for some , father , but not for us . axl and i wish to have again the happy moments we shared together . to be robbed of them is as if a thief came in the night and took what ' s most precious from us .\nwrapped around the three accounts are slickly produced graphics ( scored with soaring music ) that invoke popular uprisings before and beyond the arab spring , from the american revolution to more recent upheavals in poland , south africa , china , burma and other countries . though the filmmakers rather dubiously intermix quotes from tyrants and murderers such as lenin and che guevara with others from democratic and non - violent figures including nelson mandela and martin luther king , jr . , the implicit point that all revolutions stem from a universal hunger for freedom is nicely offset by the specificity of the three stories we witness , which illustrate not just the commonalities but also the differences among recent revolts in the arab world .\nnevertheless , ishiguro is too subtle and complex a novelist to rest content with such a message . the memory loss that may serve a troubled people as a blessing cannot help but threaten the individual with the dissolution of his or her self . at the heart of the buried giant , luminous amid all the dragons and warring knights , is a deeply affecting portrait of marital love , and of how even the most precious memories can end up vulnerable . axl and beatrice are an aged couple who , in the grip of the mysterious amnesia that has afflicted the whole of britain , abruptly decide to visit a son that they had forgotten so much as existed . in the course of their journey , they meet a boatman in the ruins of a roman villa , whose duty it is to ferry people to an island of the dead . only if a couple can convince him of their devotion will he allow them to travel together . from that moment on , axl and beatrice are haunted by a dread that they would fail such a test , and be separated for ever . \u201caxl and i wish to have again the happy moments we shared together . to be robbed of them is as if a thief came in the night and took what\u2019s most precious from us . \u201d\none day the giant came back . he had been to visit his friend the cornish ogre , and had stayed with him for seven years . after the seven years were over he had said all that he had to say , for his conversation was limited , and he determined to return to his own castle . when he arrived he saw the children playing in the garden .\nyou ' ve long set your heart against it , axl , i know . but it ' s time now to think on it anew . there ' s a journey we must go on , and no more delay . . .\nthe buried giant begins as a couple set off across a troubled land of mist and rain in the hope of finding a son they have not seen in years . sometimes savage , often intensely moving , kazuo ishiguro ' s first novel in nearly a decad\nthen the spring came , and all over the country there were little blossoms and little birds . only in the garden of the selfish giant it was still winter . the birds did not care to sing in it as there were no children , and the trees forgot to blossom . once a beautiful flower put its head out from the grass , but when it saw the notice - board it was so sorry for the children that it slipped back into the ground again , and went off to sleep . the only people who were pleased were the snow and the frost . ' spring has forgotten this garden , ' they cried , ' so we will live here all the year round . ' the snow covered up the grass with her great white cloak , and the frost painted all the trees silver . then they invited the north wind to stay with them , and he came . he was wrapped in furs , and he roared all day about the garden , and blew the chimney - pots down . ' this is a delightful spot , ' he said , ' we must ask the hail on a visit . ' so the hail came . every day for three hours he rattled on the roof of the castle till he broke most of the slates , and then he ran round and round the garden as fast as he could go . he was dressed in grey , and his breath was like ice .\nin itself , this promiscuous mixing of influences and periods within a fantasy novel is hardly original to ishiguro . george rr martin , for instance , has always performed it with particular aplomb , fusing plot lines drawn from the wars of the roses with locations that plainly draw on hadrian\u2019s wall or the steppes of genghis khan . the buried giant , though , unlike a song of ice and fire , makes play with the gaps and the seams . they are designed to show . the shimmering of literary influences within ishiguro\u2019s prose is like that of memories within a fading mind : fragments shored against ruin . yet always , haunting the novel , lurks the possibility that the memories themselves may be false . the buried giant cannot help but exist in the shadow of the near - total oblivion that has claimed the period ishiguro is writing about . one character worries that god himself may be afflicted by amnesia \u2013 \u201cand if a thing is not in god\u2019s mind , then what chance of it remaining in those of mortal men ? \u201d ishiguro is less certain than tolkien that what has been forgotten can be redeemed .\nfor the title sequence itself i worked with a very small team . the mill ' s team consisted of three animators \u2013 justin sucara , victor duncan , and greg park \u2013 who did a brilliant job of bringing the designs , textures , and concept to life , two producers , and myself as the sole designer and director . i also worked with the film ' s editor , josh altman , who was a fundamental shorthand . we were all eager to make the best of this project as we knew what a great film this is . everyone gave it their best and we made an extremely demanding delivery of 13 : 22 minutes of full - on design and animation in roughly 4 weeks . with a project like this , it ' s a true labor of love with all involved !\nbut the immediacy of such scenes isn\u2019t really helped by all the filigree barker imposes to provide a big - picture perspective . there are innumerable overly fussy black - and - white graphics interludes ( by vfx outfit the mill ) mashing up imagery and headlines from practically every historical freedom struggle imaginable . adding yet more onscreen text are too many quotes encompassing everyone from jesus to che guevara , mao tsetung , martin luther king jr . , nelson mandela and joseph stalin . of course the issues involved in arab spring uprisings are universal , but so much extraneous material seems to suggest that viewers won\u2019t grasp that unless they\u2019re hammered with reminders of more familiar , similar fights closer to home . at the same time , the pic provides little of the specific backgrounding that would make it more accessible to those not already well versed in contemporary middle eastern politics .\n' my own garden is my own garden , ' said the giant ; ' any one can understand that , and i will allow nobody to play in it but myself . ' so he built a high wall all round it , and put up a notice - board ."]}

profile , gently sloping sides , the cast iron crepe pan makes a unique and decorative addition to any stovetop . ideal for preparing traditional crepes or pancakes , the smooth cooking surface of this crepe pan helps batter spread thinly and heat evenly .\nwhether topped with rich chocolate and powdered sugar for dessert or filled with fruit for a weekend breakfast , crepes have become a dish internationally identified with france as a whole , though the thin pancakes originated in the region of brittany .\nenameled cast iron is a remarkable and robust material that performs well with modern requirements for food preparation and cooking . whether you choose to stir - fry , slow - cook a casserole , sear a steak or bake a cake , there is a shape that is suitable . cast iron performs well for either slow cooking or high - temperature searing .\ncast iron can be used reliably on any heat source , including induction , and with any oven or grill . it has the ability to retain heat efficiently , which allows for use of lower heat settings in stovetop and oven cooking . on the table , a hot covered dish will keep food hot for second servings .\ncast iron can also be used to keep foods cold . a chilled dish becomes an ideal cold food server on a hot summer day . it can also be placed in the freezer for food storage or advanced food preparation .\nremove all packaging and labels . wash the pan in hot , soapy water , then rinse and dry thoroughly . your pan is now ready to be used and does not require any further preparation .\nle creuset cast iron cookware can be used on all heat sources including gas , electric solid plate or radiant ring , vitro - ceramic glass , induction , and ovens fired by gas , oil , coal or wood . when using any glass - topped stove , always lift the pan when moving it ; never slide it , as this may damage the stovetop or the base of the pan .\nalways match the pan\u2019s base size to the stovetop heat zone to maximize efficiency , and to prevent overheating of the pan sides or damage to the handles .\ngas flames must always be confined to the base area , and must never extend around the sidewalls of the pan . long handles should be positioned safely where they do not hang over the front of the stove or other heat zones .\nmedium or low heat will provide the best results for cooking , including frying and searing . allow the pan to heat gradually and thoroughly for even and efficient cooking results . once the pan is hot , almost all cooking can be continued on lower settings .\nhigh heat temperatures should only be used for boiling water for vegetables or pasta , or for reducing the consistency of stocks or sauces . high heats should never be used to preheat a pan before lowering the heat for cooking . cast iron retains heat so efficiently that overheating will cause food to burn or stick .\nwith the exception of grills , the enamel surface is not ideal for dry cooking .\nyour choice of liquid , oil , fat or butter should completely cover the base before heating begins . do not leave the pan unattended , and do not allow a pan to boil dry , as this may permanently damage the enamel .\nfor deep frying , the maximum oil level must not exceed 1 / 3 full . this depth allows sufficient height above the oil for it to rise once foods are added . an oil frying thermometer should be used for safety , and a lid should be readily available in case of overheating or flaring .\nthe vitreous enamel surface is impermeable and therefore ideal for raw or cooked food storage , and for marinating with acidic ingredients such as wine .\nfor stirring comfort and surface protection , le creuset silicone tools are recommended . wooden or heat - resistant plastic tools may also be used . metal tools , spoons or balloon whisks may be used , but require special care \u2013 they should not be scraped over the enamel surface . do not knock these on the rim of the pan .\nhand - held electric or battery - operated beaters should not be used . their blades will damage the enamel . knives or utensils with sharp edges should not be used to cut foods inside a pan .\ncast iron handles , stainless steel knobs and phenolic knobs will become hot during stovetop and oven use . always use a dry thick cloth or oven mitts when lifting .\nalways place a hot pan on a wooden board , trivet or le creuset silicone mat\u2014never on an unprotected surface .\nthe black phenolic lid knobs on our signature range of enameled cast iron are heat - resistant to 480\u00b0f / 250\u00b0c . the black phenolic lid knobs on our classic range of enameled cast iron are heat - resistant to 375\u00b0f / 190\u00b0c . products with integral cast iron handles or stainless steel knobs can be used at any oven temperature . pans with wooden handles or knobs must not be placed in the oven .\ndo not place any cookware on the floors of ovens with cast iron linings . this will increase the cooking temperature inside the oven , resulting in an increased cooking rate with detrimental effects on food . do not drag cookware across the floor of the liners . for best results always place on a shelf or rack .\ngrills may be preheated to reach a hot surface temperature for searing and caramelization . this advice does not apply to any other products .\nfor correct grilling and searing , it is important that the cooking surface is sufficiently hot before cooking begins . sear lines from ribbed grills will not be produced if the pan surface is too cool , or if the food is too wet . place the empty pan on medium heat and allow it to heat for several minutes . do not add oil to the cold pan\u2014the oil may become too hot and smoke .\ntake a few drops of water on your fingers and scatter over the hot surface . if they sizzle and evaporate almost immediately it is hot and ready for use . if the water produces steam and has no sizzle , heat the pan a little longer and repeat the water test again . when the surface is hot enough , lightly oil it with cooking spray or brush it with oil using a le creuset silicone basting brush . vegetable , ground nut or corn oils are recommended . olive oil may cause excessive smoking .\nonce a patina covers the cooking surface very little oil will be necessary . for distinct sear lines , leave the food undisturbed on the surface for several minutes . if the food is moved too quickly the lines will be poor , and steam from the food may be released onto the surface .\nany food for grilling or searing must be quite dry before it is placed on the hot surface . wet foods will not achieve good sear lines and may result in a steamed appearance and flavor . use paper towels to pat off excess moisture from foods . oil can then be brushed over the food if desired . foods that have been marinated should also have excess moisture removed with paper towels .\nfor frying and sauteing , the fat should be hot before adding food . bring the pan and fat or oil to the correct temperature together .\noil is hot enough when there is a gentle ripple in its surface . for butter and other fats , bubbling or foaming indicates the correct temperature . if either begins smoking , or if butter begins browning , it is too hot and should be cooled slightly before proceeding . the quickest way to do this is to remove the pan from the heat source for a few moments . for longer shallow frying a mixture of oil and butter gives excellent results .\ndo not plunge a hot pan into cold water . while le creuset\u2019s enamel is designed to be the most durable on the market , thermal shock may still occur , resulting in cracking or loss of enamel .\nif there are food residues , fill the pan with warm water and let soak for 15 to 20 minutes before washing . a brush can be useful for removing small food deposits , or for cleaning between the ribs on grills . do not use scourers or abrasive cleaners on the cooking surface . nylon or soft abrasive pads or brushes can be used to remove stubborn residues . to avoid damaging the enamel , do not use metallic pads or harsh abrasive cleaning agents .\nlight stains or metal marks caused by metal tools can be removed with le creuset cookware cleaner . an occasional cleaning with this product will also retain the new appearance of your pans . it can be purchased on this website or from your local retailer .\nnever store pans while they are still damp . store pans in a dry cupboard or airy space away from steam .\nmaintain the tightness of all handles and knobs by checking and retightening them regularly .\nle creuset enameled cast iron is extremely durable but it may be damaged if accidentally dropped or knocked against a hard surface . please note that this is not covered by our lifetime warranty .\nall pans with integral cast iron , phenolic handles or stainless steel knobs can be washed in the dishwasher . however , constant dishwashing may lead to some dulling of the enamel finish . this is not harmful and will not impair performance . when using the dishwasher always allow the cycle to finish before opening the door . this will ensure the pans are dried thoroughly .\npans with metal handles can be washed in the dishwasher , but this greatly reduces the development of a patina ; as a result , grills and skillets will require oiling for a longer period . pans with wooden handles are not dishwasher - safe .\nsatin black enamel can be found on skillets , grills , frying pans , saute pans , woks , tagines and a number of round and oval casserole dishes . satin black enamel has a smooth feel but is not as glossy as other light - colored interior enamel finishes . it has been specially designed for higher surface temperature cooking , which is not the same as simply using a piece on a high heat .\nwith cast iron , higher surface temperatures can be achieved by allowing any piece to heat thoroughly on a medium setting . this makes the satin black interior ideal for frying , grilling and searing .\nsatin black enamel will keep its good looks and allow a patina to build on its surface with continued use . a patina is the result of the natural oils and fats from foods baking on to the hot surface . the patina should not be cleaned off , as it enhances the cooking performance and the release of foods . it also reduces the need for surface oiling .\nwith the higher surface temperatures achieved during frying , grilling and searing , sugars and some enzymes will cause caramelization . this not only aids in the retention of moisture and flavor , but also produces the sear lines and crusty exterior on grilled meats .\nsince 1925 , le creuset cast iron has been recognized for its strength and durability . cast individually in sand molds , then hand - inspected by french artisans , each piece represents a rich heritage and continues a tradition of lasting , authentic design .\ncast iron distributes heat slowly and evenly over the entire vessel , making it ideal for all forms of cooking , whether slow - cooking , roasting , searing , stir - frying or baking .\nthe glass - like finish in our ovens and braisers promotes caramelization , resists staining and prevents sticking to make cleanup easy .\nthe black interior of our skillets is specially formulated for high - temperature cooking , and does not require seasoning .\nthe film ' s sets were designed by the art directors fritz j\u00fcptner - jonstorff and alexander sawczynski .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken"]}

molina ' s my only u , because of the circumstances surrounding its release , but there ' s more to it than suspicions of exploitation or discomforting underpinnings . it ' s all good .\nno , rain is not overacting here . it just happened that he needs to act like the deceased husband of shin da hye , who ' s got a unique personality , he ' s got to be different also , not the usual rain . remember that the body in him is shin da hye ' s husband , and look at the first few episodes , how shin da hye ' s husband act . maybe it was shown in the same time slot of dots which is very well accepted by viewers , just happened that you guys prefer the story of dots . by the way , i watched both this drama and dots . this is my only opinion . . thank you\ngreat story . . . . interelated plots & characters . rain & oh yeon seo did well & carried the right sense of humour when playing their roles . felt the warmth , pain , hurt as well as the anger with every episodes . lmj da hae is beautiful here but a lot more fun as da ran in big with gong yoo . rain to me is even better here than in full house . all in all . . . i like this drama . . .\nboth were shocked to see the boy apparently float after their mother had been subject to months of scepticism when she claimed her home in gary , indiana , was haunted and all three of her children were possessed by demons . listen to exclusive audio of the demon here\nof course , while da possessed is essentially navarro ' s show , the movie would not have been as convincing if it were not for his support . beverly salviejo , who has been relegated to mostly minor roles in previous films , is utterly delightful as navarro ' s mischievous mom . joy viado , who plays anna ' s strict aunt , proves to be the perfect match for salviejo ' s mix of physical comedy and wit . smokey manaloto , matet de leon , and joey marquez add further color to the bunch .\ndirector joyce bernal makes the most of her cast ' s various styles in comedy , and turns da possessed into a spectacle of sorts , with low - brow humor interspersing with slapstick and other types of jokes that are certain to tickle moviegoers . a lot of the jokes are effective , thanks largely to the cast . the movie only loses steam when it decides to abandon its atmosphere of reckless fun for some degree of logic and the off - putting and totally unnecessary moral lesson that seems to be a requisite for filipino comedies .\nda possessed wastes most of its screen time dragging its feet through its murky story , hinging on hit - or - miss punchlines and elaborate visual gags . despite the film\u2019s mile - a - minute puns , vhong navarro is given very little to do . as a character , ramon fails to bank on the usually sharp - tongued and outgoing navarro . the result is a vhong navarro that feels restrained , closed off , and uncharacteristically shy . but the real disappointment here is that there are remnants of a far better story buried underneath the film\u2019s under - baked crust .\nthe real shame here isn\u2019t that da possessed fails to live up to its potential , but that there\u2019s a wasted opportunity here for vhong navarro . whatever you might think of navarro\u2019s brand of comedy , he is arguably one of the more exciting and underutilized stars of star cinema . unlike the studio\u2019s other big name superstars , navarro\u2019s filmography is as unpredictable as his onscreen personas . from the smooth - operating mr . suave , the quirky superspy agent x44 , to a charming romantic in my only u , navarro\u2019s career has allowed him a level of diversity few other actors appreciate .\nlee hae - joon ( rain ) is a perfect man with good looking appearance . he works as a section chief in the women\u2019s apparel section at a department store . his body is actually possessed by the spirit of kim young - soo ( kim in - kwon ) who was worked to death .\n( spot . ph ) it would take a special kind of callousness to watch the entirety of joyce bernal ' s da possessed without even acknowledging the suspicious circumstances behind its being made . just a few of months prior to the movie ' release , its main star , dancer - turned - actor vhong navarro , was mauled inside a condominium unit . speculations were made by the public , who were incessantly bombarded with every bit of news about the sensationalized but most unfortunate event . navarro , with the help of his enterprising handlers , has turned into some sort of crusader , using the country ' s legal system for retribution .\ncan i get a respond before watching please please coz im confused : will da - hye fall in love with the spirit of her husband but in the body of lee hae joon or what ? if this is the story i ' ll not watch it . . i want the real lee hae joon to be with her\noh yeon seo is killing it here . . . her acting is superb ! ! ! i love hong nan , yi yeon and tae hwan story . as for rain a . k . a hae joon story , it just felt messy . why bother to make da hye fall in love to him when he only have 2 months to stay on earth . rain acting is really good when he is with hong nan . both of them really funny . but when it comes to da hye scene , i get really frustrayed seeing min jung acting . same face expression and no soul at all . after all , im curious to see the ending .\nda possessed , for all the inanity in display , echoes a lot of the themes of navarro ' s present predicament . beneath the jokes and gags , the movie predominantly tackles revenge against an individual who has eluded the law despite his propensity for violence . navarro , of course , plays his character with indisputable charm and affect , showcasing his trademark talents , whether it be his comedic timing or his dancing moves , to ensure that the actor does not get lost in the character . navarro , by donning ramon ' s clothes and quirks , becomes the unlikely hero who will pave the way for justice to triumph , despite such an immense desire for the more traditional type of vengeance .\nis adidam ' s unique version of the traditional guru purnima celebration . during this celebration , the great and divine guru - function of the divine avatar , adi da samraj , is honored .\npurnima\nmeans\nfull\n. guru purnima is traditionally celebrated during the brightest full moon of the year , usually occuring in july .\nafter watch 10 episodes of this drama i slowly get into the story line . however i have to say that i hope hope and hope that they do not mess up or this drama is going to flop xd . i really like oh yeon so ' s acting ( she is hella funny ) and i kinda ship her with everyone ( lee tae hwan especially , but also rain and even ha nui or yoon park xd ) i think i love her because she still act like han gi tak while rain sometimes kinda creep me out because he is so diffrent then young - soo . the fact is that he surely end up with da hye because i cannot imagine that he will let da hye go and built up a new life on her own ( even if i ship da hye with ji hoon ) . but i ' m kinda curious how hong nan will end up , because i ship her soo much with seungjae but i can never imagine that she will end up with him because she still is han gi tak inside xd\nto sum up i really felt in love with the new side of rains acting , however i cannot feel the chemistry of hae joon and da hye . however i really love this drama since there are some scences that are hilarious and intense and also i love nearly every character , that have a certain image . really refreshing and hopefully a good drama with a good ending\nwhen he was possessed , religious artifacts began flying off the walls and people could hear footsteps and dripping inside his home . scratches also began appearing over his body , which levitated and contorted . his family contacted a catholic priest and an exorcism was performed more than 30 times , sometimes injuring the priest before they were eventually successful . doe went on to have a normal life , according to reports .\nwow ! it ' s a promising drama ! the casts are great . . three of my favorite actors and actresses . . rain , oh yeon - seo , and lee min - jung . . and ! the plot is daebak ! i can ' t even imagine oh yeon - seo acting a tough guy ( since she ' s possessed ) . . i can ' t wait for this drama . . : )\nl actually hope that da - hye would give ji - hoon a chance rather than shove him away that hard , but unwillingly give chance to hae - joon . feel pity for ji - hoon . seung - jae and hong - nan ( gi - tak ) will not happen unless the real hong - nan appears . l hope real hong - nan appears and be a couple with seung - jae , while gi - tak reborn and coupled up with yi - yeon .\non july 10 , 2007 ( fiji time ) , avatar adi da ' s impulse to continue working in the manner of self - submission conclusively vanished , leaving only the sign of his divine self -\nemergence\nwork . only his divine self - revelation , and not any address to the ego in its presumed separateness , enables the process of transcendental spiritual awakening . this event is now celebrated as the great sovereign - avataric holy day of parama - sapta - na sannyas .\nthe charitable assessment here is that west is just trolling , which , with the best will in the world , is still hardly the most edifying sphere of human activity for an apparently time - pushed polymath to indulge in . if he is possessed of the kind of self - awareness occasionally suggested by tlop\u2019s lyrics ( \u201ci love you like kanye loves kanye\u201d he offers on a brief a cappella freestyle ) , he might take a minute out of his pressing schedule to consider that one thing setting him apart from the kind of geniuses he compares himself to is that picasso , galileo , steve jobs and leonardo da vinci seem to have had better things to do with their time than waste it going \u201cyeah , your mum lol\u201d . the uncharitable assessment is that he\u2019s a deluded pillock who actually believes what he\u2019s saying . listening to famous , you do find yourself wondering if anyone else has ever managed to seem so brilliant at what they do and such a thundering cock and balls of a man at exactly the same time .\n@ karin : like rain said , there is no lead characters here . everyone has their own portion and story , so you can ' t pick a or b as the lead . for me , as the story involved around young - soo and gi - tak , they are the leads ( the characters , not the actors ) . you could say that the female leads are da - hye and yi - yeon , as hong - nan is actually gi - tak in female form . then the 2nd male leads are ji - hoon and jae - kook .\nquotations from and / or photographs of avatar adi da samraj used by permission of the copyright owner : \u00a9 thisyear copyrighted materials used with the permission of the avataric samrajya of adidam pty ltd , as trustee for the avataric samrajya of adidam . all rights reserved . none of these materials may be disseminated or otherwise used for any non -

ups , vhong ' s wit and his supporting cast manages to make the movie bearable to watch . but there ' s nothing new to see in this movie , the cast is poorly presented and the story is loses it ' s sensibility halfway across the movie . the script is boring and the plot sequence is too rushed and unbalanced . though the movie does live up it ' s name by presenting it ' s genre the right way ; it shares a decent amount of jokes that can surely make you laugh . it ' s enjoyable not because of the jokes shared within the script , it was enjoyable because of the witty acting and funny actions the actors do ( specifically the supporting actors ) . but also , the director forgets an important aspect in movies : consistency . the movie attracted viewers because of it ' s solid first 1 -

lines and involving all the characters . in kendasampige , dcp suryakanth ' s story is unfinished . we are left with the question with the rajesh nataranga ' s character ( forgot the name ) answering the audit committee , will he reveal suryakanth ' s identities . since suryakanth is also indirectly involved with kb ' s storyline ( initially kb ' s protagonist is protecting the money illegally possessed by suryakanth and team , which he eventually steals , as shown in the ending of kendasampige ) , the next set of events might lead to his downfall . i am eagerly waiting for kaage bangaara . it is enthralling to see story lines of two movies merged beautifully such that each story is independent on it ' s own with small connections to other .\ni went to the theater b ' cause i loved suri ' s kaddipudi , kendasampige is an romantic , road movie and crime thriller all packed together the movie kicks off right from the beginning and does not stop till the end but the movie does not have any panache there are no memorable scene in this movie like kaddipudi , except the lead all others acting is good , it has some beautiful drone shots but the one thing annoyed me was the use of too many hand held ' shaky cam ' effect . but the movie will keep you in your seat edge of your seat till the end it has its movements and mentioned earlier by others the script is the hero of this film . this movie is diffidently worth a watch its sets itself apart from other kannada movie it has a unique tone , but kaddipudi is still suri ' s best film yet . i will diffidently be catching\nkage bangara\nin theaters ! ! !\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 0 transitional / / en\nthe tagline of director suri ' s new film kendasampige ; ginimari case part ii , did confuse many people . no one had ever heard of the first part of the film and here was the second part in theatres ! but the film had justification for the title as there were glimpses of the ` part i ' which was integral to the film released last week . in the end credits of ` part 2 ' , the first part was promised in 2016 . the first part is called\nsays part 1 will be released in early 2016 itself as the massive positive response to the film has given him immense confidence .\n\u201cthe response to this film has floored me . some portions of part 1 has already been shot . in fact , it is a three - film series . there is a little problem with the title of part 3 and that is why it has not been announced . all the three films are linked and characters overlap . the overlapping scenes between part 1 and part 2 have already been shot . once i am done with\n, i will start shooting for the remaining portion of part 1 , \u201c suri said .\nthe director was apprehensive about how the audience would react to such a film . he said , \u201ci have planned such a movie for a long time . but i had never imagined it would generate so much positive response . now instead of late 2016 ,\nget latest news & live updates on the go on your pc with news app . download the times of india news app for your device . read more entertainment news in english and other languages .\nhe has just 2 weeks left & i need rs . 5 . 5 lakh to save him .\nrefrain from posting comments that are obscene , defamatory or inflammatory , and do not indulge in personal attacks , name calling or inciting hatred against any community . help us delete comments that do not follow these guidelines by marking them offensive . let ' s work together to keep the conversation civil .\nwe have sent you a verification email . to verify , just follow the link in the message\nkannada director rishab shetty talks about the ' dadda dadda ' song from his upcoming film , ' sarkari hi . pra . shaale , kasaragodu , koduge : ramanna rai '\netimes is an entertainment , tv & lifestyle industry ' s promotional website and carries advertorials and native advertising .\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 bennett , coleman & co . ltd . all rights reserved .\nwhere there ' s a successful film , there is bound to be a sequel . in their attempt to recreate the magic , as it were , filmmakers in the kannada film industry seem to be all in favour of working with the same thing yet again . here ' s a list of interesting sequels to expect '\npart 1 released in 2006 preetham loves nandhini , whose marriage is already fixed . he feels bad and leaves the place . nandini challenges him to win her heart . preetham accepts the challenge . the songs , composed by mano murthy and penned by jayanth kaikini , worked wonders for the film that created records at the box office .\npart 2 expected to release in 2016 ganesh plays the lead in this sequel too , which is being directed by shashank . the lead cast includes neha shetty in place of pooja . easily the longest planned sequel here , the team has undergone many changes before the final team was put in place . this is a love story too , but shot not just during the monsoons , but also in summer .\npart 1 : released in 2002 a love story involving an army officer and his lady love back home , wherein the couple fights against all odds , including the girl ' s father trying to arm -

turned - foes agastya and bala part ways with a big clash , with both of them alive . this unfinished war between the two people in the film set the perfect fodder for the sequel . director prashanth neel is currently working on the yash - starrer kgf and will embark work on the ugramm sequel sometime next year , say sources close to the project .\npart 1 : released in 2012 this was a horror comedy , which was a remake the tamil film kanchana . the film had upendra , saikumar and raai laxmi in the lead roles . the film was directed by horror specialist filmmaker ramanarayanan .\npart 2 : to be released in 2016 the project is under production and is again the remake of the horror comedy tamil film kanchana 2 , which released last year and was a big success . the film is being shot in bengaluru and mangaluru and sees priya mani and avantika shetty alongside upendra .\npart 1 : released in 2015 the story revolves around a couple framed for a crime and on a run from police , and exposes the nexus between the latter and the influential . it was touted to be suri ' s quentin tarantino - meets - guy ritchie - meets - ram gopal varma kind of tale . the film ' s tagline ' part 2 * ginimari case ' suggests that the first part was actually the sequel to what will be released as the kendasampige part 2 .\npart 1 released in 2012 a crime thriller , the film is based on and captures the exploits of a real - life notorious gang of thieves and murderers called dandupalya . the film catapulted the career of its lead actress pooja , who played a member of this gang in the film .\npart 2 expected to release in 2016 to be directed by srinivasa raju , the film stars pooja gandhi and her gang , including makarand deshpande . however , rather than calling it a sequel , the director calls it a parallel story that dates back to 1995 , wherein he plans to capture the horrific psyche of the dreaded gang .\npart 1 released in 2016 shivalinga revolves around a murder , which is declared a suicide in the court because of the evidence provided . but when a cid officer investigates the case , they discover that it was not a suicide .\npart 2 expected to release in 2017 the story is expected to begin where the first part ended . while shivarajkumar will reprise his role , there will be changes in the rest of the cast . the character shivarajkumar plays is seen wanting to lead a normal life with his wife , but the case at hand pulls him right back into action mode .\nif you have to make a good film you need to shed your ego , says director duniya suri . with three films lined up , he tells archana nathan that he needs to empty himself before he gets on board\nhowever , amidst the back - to - back projects , suri reveals that all he actually wants to do is hit the brakes , sit down and take stock of things before making any films .\ni need to do a complete system erase and begin again . i need to empty myself ,\nhe explains .\nfilms like u turn , thithi and godhi banna sadharana mykattu gave rise to a lot of speculation about a possible a \u2018new wave\u2019 in kannada cinema . even kendasampige was discussed as part of this wave .\namong all the films that released , i loved thithi which i think was the best . the beauty of the film was in its ability to recognise the cinematic potential in commonplace situations . even with u turn , that the consequences of moving a single stone on a road can become fodder for cinema is just wonderful . there are a number of things that happen around us everyday . what is important is to learn how to adapt those things for the screen . both pawan kumar and raam reddy know how to do that .\nif i have to analyse and situate kendasampige within this context , i would say that there was nothing spectacular about the film . perhaps , the editing and narrative style fascinated people .\nnot at all . i wouldn\u2019t say the same about duniya , for instance . duniya is a film you will remember even after you go home from the theatre . i wouldn\u2019t put kendasampige in that category .\ni would actually liken it to the course of a river . it is only natural that there are these ups and downs every once in a while . once in five years , new experiments are conducted , some succeed and others don\u2019t . while social media has popularised these films in particular , it must also be remembered that if one were to glance at kannada cinema\u2019s history , one is bound to recognise similar attempts in the past as well . phani ramachandra , for instance , with his ganeshana maduve , started a trend . upendra began another trend . a film like mungaru maley set the template for the love story for a while , a simplagondu love story generated interest in the dialogue - heavy film and so on . so , this was inevitable .\nyou have been associated with the rajkumar family since the beginning of your career . . .\ni have always been fond of working with puneeth and shivanna . they are committed artists whose style of working matches mine - whether it is their behaviour on sets , the attention they pay during the narration of the script etc . that said , it is not like we are an exclusive group . i actually have plans of working with darshan , yash and a whole range of actors in the industry .\nwe ' ve just had a week where there were close to eight kannada films that released . on an average , there are at least 4 - 5 films releasing each week . what do you make of this ?\nthe volume of films can be explained by the fact that everyone wants to somehow be associated with the film industry . this is understandable . everyone wants to make a film , be successful or become a hero . it is good that the industry is this busy . at the same time , what is a matter of concern is this opinion that filmmaking is effortless . there are people who come to my office and try to show a film they ' ve made on their phone .\nsome of them have a 30 - second promo to show or a poster . they may not even have a story . i sit them down and tell them that just like there is no easy route to learning music or any of the arts , filmmaking too is not easy . i ask them to work on a set to learn what happens there up until pack up . while technology has made the process of filmmaking more convenient , there is this widespread opinion that films can be easily made . this is evident in some of the films that have released too . . .\nif you were to look back at your journey so far . . . is this where you wanted to be ?\nthe journey , starting from duniya has been great . but i do feel the need for me to sit down and go through a process of metamorphosis . i ' m right now in a mental space where i feel i have become egoistic .\ni have a four - year - old son who reminds me everyday that i need to shed my ego . i see him draw on pieces of paper and his art alone teaches me a lot . my son does not care if his drawings will win a prize or be kept on some pedestal . uninhibited and with a fascinating boldness , he draws . similarly , i have to forget all that i\u2019ve heard and internalised about my work - the praise , the analysis etc . only then , will i be able to make a good film in the real sense .\ni strongly believe that when you make a film , you cannot also simultaneously apologise or give excuses for the faults in it . a film is made and that is that .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\n' kendasampige ' was an experimental film , which released last year to extraordinary response . the film was a commercial success as well . however , suri says that he is not able to find a producer for the prequel , which was supposed to have gone on floors by this time .\nthe budget of the film is expected to be around rs 2 crores . suri is a top director in sandalwood , who has great success rate . he is one of the few directors who has worked thrice with one of the top actors like puneeth rajkumar . so it ' s really surprising that he is not finding a producer .\nhowever , a source close to the film team says that this is a publicity stunt by the team . suri currently has two big projects in form of ' dodmane huduga ' and ' tagaru ' . if he wishes he can ask any of the producers to produce the film . however , he is not doing so , as to get publicity for his experimental film .\nsome characters from ginimari case will continue . some characters that were minor in the second installment will play major roles in part 1 . the trilogy is unique because part 2 was released first . this is also the first time that a trilogy or series is announced even before the first of them was released .\nshah rukh khan and anubhav sinha keen to make ' ra . one ' sequel ?\nhit the gym four months ago , there was much speculation that he was priming up to get into acting . now that director has developed a six -

ii has few more parts left to spread the aroma .\na careful writing has led to a griping experience , which is evident from the scene one evoking suspense and then the twists and turns without a slightest disturbance to the joyful ride . it is again special for the introduction of two new faces \u2013 vikky and manvitha harish , who are not just refreshing on screen but very much suit the innocent characters webbed around the thrilling plot .\nthe music here is the perfect desert after a tasty meal , soothing and adds onto the running script . harikrishna has truly earned it this time . on par with the best of hollywood film making \u2013 it is perfectly a synchronized domino effect right till the end . a poor and honest boy saves a rich girl from drowning . later they fall in love , but opposed by the girl\u2019s mother who is rich and influential with good contacts in the police department .\n. the movie is originally a three part series and the title of the third part is undecided as of yet .\nthis movie is director ' s delight , suri has delivered a very good movie . the movie lasts 100 minutes , & a fast moving story . as the name depicts kendasampige has a fragrance of love , crime & destiny . it ' s a master piece . story telling at it ' s best . there are no big names in the casting , narration of the story is amazing . hey this movie is few notches well above the recent releases . a quality film , descent & neat story with a very good background score . what stole my attention & made me very glad was\ncinematography\n. amazing camera work . the film is shot within karnataka & you will fall in love with the places & aerial shots by drones are awesome . now i am sure there would be more tourists flocking\nchitradurgada kallina kote\n. full paisa vasool for watching it on a big screen with 7 . 1 dolby theater & i am ready to watch part -

coaster ride by couples in love who are trying to save themselves from the hot pursuits by the police forces . but only problem is that two different set of officials within police force trying to track them - one with good intention and bad intention by other set . the end is done on good note and don ' t want give more details on it . almost three climax to the end though . this kannada movie deserves a good rating .\ni loved watching this movie . . many thrillers there will be too may scenes which are too much of a coincidence . but here it was not like that , it was very natural . well the actors did a great job . i love the fact that the simple lead actor ( male ) has shown his simplicity throughout in action , expression everything . also the usage of language ( kannada ) is very natural , many movies there will be too many artificial ( bookish ) words used for strong dialog . but here local slang is used very aptly . also there is not too much drama involved . my most favorite part is there are no dreamy songs . the songs give a good meaning and are apt for the scenes . many indian films are full of dreams romantic songs which personally i do not like ."]}

length psa against gallic shrinks .\nthe story opens with chloe ( marine vacth of ozon ' s young & beautiful ) , a quintessential parisian beauty of 25 , whom we see glowering into the camera as she gets her hair cut ; the resulting pixie ' do recalls mia farrow ' s rosemary , just the first in ozon ' s giddy parade of cinephilic winks and nods . we then find chloe in a gynecologist ' s examining room , where the doctor tells her that the abdominal pains she ' s been suffering from are surely anxiety - or depression - related . chloe asks for a psych referral :\ni think i ' m ready ,\nshe says rather gravely .\ncue her first appointment with dr . paul meyer ( dardenne brothers regular jeremie renier ) , a blond , boyishly handsome therapist whose sweater - and - spectacles look is as reassuring as his professional manner . chloe immediately takes to their sessions , certain moments of which ozon presents via split - screen placing the two characters in an intimate face - to - face formation .\nwhen i see you , i feel like i exist ,\nchloe confides at one appointment , noting that her melancholy and ennui \u2014 as well as her stomach symptoms \u2014 have lifted .\nand not a moment too soon , as paul explains , for he has fallen in love with her and is ethically obligated to discontinue their therapy . luckily ( or dysfunctionally , depending on how you look at it ) , the feelings are mutual . doctor and patient kiss , and before long chloe and her beloved feline companion milo are moving into paul ' s apartment .\nwhile unpacking , chloe opens a box of paul ' s personal belongings , picks up his passport and notices there ' s a different last name on it : delord . perturbed , she gently pleads with him ,\npromise to tell me everything and hide nothing .\ngood luck with that , girlfriend .\nchloe makes an appointment , and quickly learns that louis is quite the opposite of paul \u2014 as foreshadowed by the fake plant in his waiting room ( unlike paul ' s real one ) and the chilly modern d\u00e9cor of his office , all sharp edges and sleek surfaces . with his slicked - up hair , smart suits and superior semi - sneer , louis is a lacanian nutjob whose methods include insulting chloe , abruptly ending their sessions after a few minutes and , most unconventionally ,\napplied techniques ,\nwhich amount to seducing his new patient into sexual submission .\nchloe keeps her affair with louis \u2014 and her knowledge of his very existence \u2014 a secret from paul , though she tries to provoke the latter into coming clean with such leading questions as :\nhave you ever wished you had a twin brother ?\nto reveal more about how the relationships between chloe , paul and louis unfold would be to spoil the funhouse of motifs ( mirrors , duh ! ) , references and thriller tropes that ozon has assembled with great flair and an infectious sense of mischief .\nmeanwhile , the director ' s supreme control is fully evident in the cool elegance of his compositions ( dp manu dacosse does terrific work ) and the tonal confidence that ' s sustained from start to finish . he also gets the most out of his cast : often shot in lush close - up , vacth conveys a captivating fragility spiked with a dash of deviousness , and she ' s nicely matched by renier , who , as louis , plays enjoyably against good - boy type . the ever - regal bisset has fun as two different mothers , and myriam boyer almost walks off with the whole movie , going full camp as a kooky neighbor vying for the title of worst catsitter ever .\nby turns gently emotional and aggressively nerve - jangling , philippe rombi ' s score swerves and shifts almost as much as the storyline . it ' s the perfect accompaniment for a film that ' s made with serious craftsmanship but never takes itself seriously .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nthe source code for the wiki 2 extension is being checked by specialists of the mozilla foundation , google , and apple . you could also do it yourself at any point in time .\nwould you like wikipedia to always look as professional and up -

mts has collapsed like a house of cards at the box office . however i am going to dispel a common miss - conception among people , that the film has mainly failed due to the deception staged by tinu verma , using sunny ' s name to boaster the chances of a movie that stars a flop arbaaz khan as the hero and has a first time action director as the director . this may indeed be one of the reasons of its failure , but watch this torture and perhaps the other reasons will speak volumes to you !\noverall ; technically the film is only good in parts , while other sequences have been shot and executed with outdated methods ; the explosions shots in particular are very well executed ; the opening indian movies and mts logo looks very slick . however the movie is completely hampered by bad sound and dubbing , jerky cinematography and dull action and editing .\nhere are a few other implausible gems i noticed : for director tinnu verma , a brilliant scheme to nab terrorists would be to have intelligence officer tabu shake her butt , belly and all , and burst into song . also , indians are shown freely ridiculing pakistanis . the pakistanis of this film pride themselves on being two - faced traitors .\nmaa tujhe salaam is sunny deol ' s 3rd movie of the patriotic trilogy of 2001 . after the major successes of gadar and indian , sunny is at it again , this time in kashmir as a commando , protecting the villagers against terrorists . sunny deol is the real macho - man ( muscleman ) among the other tough stars , and he is just brilliant in the action scenes , which are awesome . i just love it when he roars , as that just boils your blood so hard that you will do anything for the honor of your country . tabu does well as a supporting commando , but the movie belongs to sunny deol . he is just the best action hero in bollywood . the climax was just amazing and mind - blowing , as sunny blows out baddies with big machine guns . later , he is hit by bullets while going uphill with the indian flag , but sunny is just unstoppable , and he vanquishes the baddies and then is hospitalized and survives ( ending like imtihaan ) . sunny wins the day , yet again . jai hind ! sunny deol zindabad !\nstarcast : sunny deol , arbaaz khan , tabudirector : tinu vermaproducer : mahinder dhariwalmusic director : sajid - wajidsynopsis : ' mts ' tells the story of a brave indian army officer major pratap singh ( sunny deol ) , who foils a pakistani infiltration attempt . the action takes place somewhere in the border town of zhonabad , which is a high mountain ravine near the international border of kashmir . the villain , lala ( tinu verma ) lives with his henchmen in zhonabad . lala ' s ancestors were landlords and that ' s why he is a respected and powerful man in his hometown . he ' s also an enemy agent . he and his men are responsible for the infiltration of terrorists and ammunition through mountainous passes . lala takes into confidence a young illiterate village local albaksh ( arbaaz khan ) . albaksh works like a slave for lala without knowing that lala is anti - national . captain sonia ( tabu ) gets information about the activities of lala and albaksh . she passes it on to the military headquarters . major pratap is ordered to proceed immediately to zhonabad . in the meantime albaksh comes to know about lala ' s real activities . he opposes him and lala becomes his enemy . lala cooks up stories and falsely implicates albaksh , who becomes a traitor in the eyes of the law . he is arrested and thrown into jail . when major pratap interrogates him , albaksh relates the real story , and tells him about the planning of a vast terrorist infiltration into the country through zhonabad . as time is running out fast major pratap decides to fight the terrorists with the help of albaksh . rest , as they say , is history . good triumphs over evil in the end . analysis : ' mtj ' is an out and out arbaaz khan film . he is the hero of the film and sunny deol just makes a special appearance in the film ( for his friend tinu verma , who makes his debut as director ) . arbaaz emerges as the dark horse of the film . he comes across as someone who can fight as well as act . however , the story and plot of the film does not live up to one ' s expectations . sold as a sunny starrer ( though he is not the hero of the film ) this ' commercial patriotism ' flick is strictly for the masses . dialogues like ' doodh maango kheer denge , kashmir maango cheer denge ' play to the gallery . to sum up even if you miss it , you have nothing to lose .\ntoday , the plots , lifted as they are from newspapers , are just this side of fiction . but hindi movies being what they are , fantasy is hardly spared . song and dance routines still break out on the snow - capped mountains of kashmir , though these days , the films are more likely to be shot in a hill station far removed from kashmir , which is considered too dangerous for film sets .\nthe story for ' ' yeh dil aashiqanaa ' ' ( ' ' this heart in love ' ' ) has been lifted from the 1999 hijacking of an indian airlines plane by pakistan - based terrorists . the hijacking supplies what the film ' s director , kuku kohli , describes as the spicy stuff that every romantic plot demands . ' ' for a love story , there should be some mirch masala , a little hurdle , ' ' he said . ' ' it shouldn ' t go so smooth . ' '\none film in the making , apparently based on the 1999 india - pakistan war in kargil , is called ' ' loc , ' ' the acronym for the so - called line of control dividing indian - and pakistan - held kashmir . a spate of biographical films about indian ' ' freedom fighters ' ' are also on the way , notably about men who rejected gandhian nonviolence in favor of armed struggle against british rule : three are about bhagat singh , an anticolonial guerrilla leader hanged by the british in 1923 .\nwill these wannabe directors never learn ! ! how many times will we have to tell them , we cannot be taken for granted ! geez everybody wants to be a director or producer now days ; not every tom , * * * * and harry can direct . direction needs a passion for film making , a desire to provide the audiences with a near perfect product ; tinu verma does not to do that ; in fact maybe he thought we needed a near disastrous product - but tinu has even gone further than that .\nhow would you feel if someone took the life story of one of your loves ones and turned into complete nonsense ? similarly , tinu verma has taken an important part of india ' s history and presented in a distorted and ridiculous way ; that was the conflict of kargil . mts is a slap on the face of the relatives and loved ones of all those that died in this conflict , a slap on the face of our armed forces . how mts has dealt with kargil ( was it dealing with it at all ) makes the whole kargil episode seem insignificant . one simply cannot realise the scope of that episode from this film . its sad mts was even made , its even sadder that the indian government let it pass , that too with glowing reviews . j . p dutta ' s loc will be a true account of the kargil conflict and i cam say without even seeing loc , that it will be a million times better than this mts garbage .\nawesome acting by ranbir and soonam as well . no doubt paresh rawal did his excellent role . . worth\u2026\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 hungama digital media entertainment pvt . ltd . all rights reserved .\ncountry afghanistan albania algeria american samoa andorra angola anguilla antarctica antigua and barbuda argentina armenia aruba australia austria azerbaijan bahamas bahrain bangladesh barbados belarus belgium belize benin bermuda bhutan bolivia bosnia and herzegovina botswana bouvet island brazil british antarctic territory british indian ocean territory british virgin islands brunei bulgaria burkina faso burundi cambodia cameroon canada canton and enderbury islands cape verde cayman islands central african republic chad chile china christmas island cocos [ keeling ] islands colombia comoros congo -

oh and he has a love interest , miss captain sonia ( tabu ) ( no i never can forget someone with the name sonia ) they occasionally go sing and dance underneath trees , except in this case snow covered trees . . . oh and there is an army commander who cares more about hearing his name and song be announced on radio , than the country . another army commander , cares more about his hair ( or rather lack of ) rather than his country . oh and there is mr arbaaz khan , who is a patriotric kashmiri muslim , that finds out his god father ( lalla ) is a big player in terrorism . . oh and arbaaz khan has a cute girlfriend , that he occasionally goes to , but don ' t worry most of the songs are given to the sunny deol and tabu duo . hmm is there anything else , oh yeah the terrorists are planning a major invasion of kashmir , which obviously is thwarted by our superstar sunny deol and they all lived happily ever after .\nwhat screenplay ? take out the screen all together . it was all play , perhaps tinu verma was treating movie making as some sort of game or trivial task -

now just wait for the sound of the cash registers !

[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ]\nthe dirty deeds turn out to be not only outrageous but bizarre and perhaps disgusting . they included dangerous tasks like stealing a car costing more than $ 100 , 000 and hitting the toughest kid in town ( who also turned out be a complete psychopath ! ) to something as revolting as making out with a whole wheat bread loaf !\nhigh school senior zach , a young man who lives for challenging authority and being the self proclaimed \u201crebel\u201d , decides to take on the infamous \u201cdirty deeds\u201d list when his crush\u2019s brother is caught up in the dare by a group of bullies . the only thing is , he must complete the entire list of depraved tasks within 24 hours .\nfor some reason both my netflix and amazon prime accounts decided to stop working simultaneously last night , so i was left trawling youtube for movies to watch . dirty deeds was the first one that came up , so i watched it . the fact that i ' ve prefaced this review by providing the rationale for why i chose to watch this film gives you an idea of what i thought of it . not very good indeed . i would have stopped watching but i was curious to see what the rest of the deeds were . milo ventimiglia has a strange face , like he ' s constantly on the verge of a stroke . gretchen weiners is in it ( her dad invented toaster strudel ) . zoe saldana literally pops up for five minutes .\nthe\ndirty deeds\nare a legend at west valley high . a series of off - color challenges that must be completed during the night before homecoming day , the\ndirty deeds\nhave only been completed once , and the name of the student is legendary . now , zach ( 27 - year old milo ventimiglia playing an 18 - year old ) has decided that the only way to win the heart of smarty - pants meg ( lacey chabert ) is to complete all ten dirty deeds . the school is divided into two cliques : jocks and everyone else . the jocks do what they can to prevent zach from succeeding , throwing impediments in his way at every turn . ( why ? because movie jocks are always boorish kill - joys , that ' s why . ) everyone else is rooting for him , and someone is throwing a wild party to celebrate the event . meanwhile , zach also has a couple of dumb cops to deal with , as well as a pissed - off security guard ( played by a slumming charles durning ) .\nthis film is a sort of \u201cwhat if\u201d fairy tale that explores the idea of being careful what you wish for . money , as we all know , is the root of all evil and this film brilliantly displays this by showing the bumpy road this couple goes down when what the money gets them becomes their main goal . the way this movie plays out is absolutely superb and the performances juno temple and michael angarano give are priceless . if there ever were a movie that shows why money shouldn\u2019t be your ultimate goal , the brass teapot is it .\ndirty deeds offers the grandmother of all fart jokes . an old lady has an attack of flatulence that goes on for about 30 seconds before she lets out a sigh of relief . unless you ' re a seven - year old , this kind of thing is more tedious than amusing . then there ' s the scene in which the hero uses a loaf of wheat bread as a masturbatory tool . later , someone is shown delightedly munching on a sandwich made from that bread . there may be a certain irony to this , but is it funny ? the filmmakers think it ' s hilarious - they drag out the episode to extraordinary lengths . movies like dirty deeds are supposed to be in bad taste - but that ' s only excusable if they ' re funny , which isn ' t the case here .\nthis movie was a little strange to me the first time i saw it . but , when i watched it a second time i was able to glean a pretty good understanding of it . this film is really about how the worldview of teens change as they get older . it\u2019s always weird when you come of age and your little world you thought you knew so well gets rocked and completely turned on his head . as teenage girls , we\u2019ve all been through almost the same things the main characters has and that makes this film much more realistic but still gives a \u201cdream come true\u201d like ending .\ni like the premise of this film . a young teenager ( played by one of my favorite up and coming actors milo ventimiglia ) has to do ten dirty deeds so his crushes brother doesn ' t make a fool of himself . i thought this movie had some funny parts to it . i ' m not going to say is was hilarious throughout the whole movie , but there were a few scenes hear and there that were hilarious in my opinion . that scene were the police officer tells biggs that them being the leaders of this school is depressing was hilarious . i also loved the soundtrack . every song from the soundtrack that was played in the movie fit the moment pretty well . that soundtrack has to\u2026\ni know the plot of this film sounds weird , but it is actually a very good coming of age film . the main character , aaron , comes from a very controlling home life and is completely shocked when he delves into the college dorm environment . it\u2019s interesting to see how he adapts to college life as well as handle the confusing feelings he develops for an older woman who is dating a cop and her precocious 14 year old who dreads her home life . personally , i think this is a very fun movie to watch and accurately displays what it\u2019s like to have confusing and conflicting sexual feelings .\ni absolutely love this film ! it\u2019s easily one of my favorite indies of the year due to its unique style and story . not to mention , it was written by joss whedon . what i really like about this movie is that , although it does have a sci - fi background , it doesn\u2019t let that overrun the main plot of the story . these two people , who\u2019ve never met each other , form a bond that literally reaches beyond the bounds of possibility , which makes you feel much more emotionally invested in their relationship . this film is beautifully shot and tells one of the most unique sci - fi love stories i\u2019ve ever seen .\nat the core of\ndirty deeds\nis a likable , good - hearted teen comedy with some young , appealing actors and decent writing . but , in the day of\nunrated\nbeing splashed across every other dvd , stuff like\ngood - hearted\njust doesn ' t get the job done anymore so the screenwriters spiced this up with a lot of unnecessarily gross - out moments . there was just no reason for any of that here .\nhigh school student zach harper ( milo ventimiglia ) sets out to complete the\ndirty deeds\n- an outrageous list of ten challenges that must be completed between dusk and dawn on the friday night of his high school ' s homecoming weekend . the only student to complete the entire list , duncan rime ( todd zeile ) , did so in 1989 when only 8 tasks composed the list . rimes later reveals that whenever someone completes the entire list , more are added to it .\nthis movie does start off a bit slow but it\u2019s one of the most unique love stories i\u2019ve seen in a while . it starts with the typical , \u201coh i hate you\u201d narrative but , as their journey goes on , thom and claire begin to understand each other and fall in love in the process . their repertoire during their journey from new york to california pretty much outlines the stages of most modern relationships . they usually start with some form of animosity or naivety , snowball into understanding and then they give into their emotions . i won\u2019t dare give away the ending of this film but , much like \u201cthe breakup\u201d , it is bittersweet and very realistic . this film is a true testament of what happens in a relationship that occurs in a forced and unexpected manner .\ncall back : jen announced that rachel buff is giving out awards the next day at the carnival . one of the deeds sees zach having to get a homecoming queen ' s bra . guess who he just happens to run into while at a bar ?\nhypocritical humor : one of the deeds sees zach having to steal a homecoming queen ' s bra . he hits up a woman and asks , but she rebuffs him saying he ' s sick . cut to her in dominatrix garb with her\nslave .\nhow dirty are the deeds ? one calls for drinking beer in front of a police officer . another requires that the contestant acquire the bra of a homecoming queen . a body has to be stolen from a morgue . a bully has to be punched in the face . and so on\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 nothing daring or extraordinary , yet , done right , it ' s easy to see how the movie could have been diverting . but little about this movie is\nright .\nthe acting is stiff and unconvincing , and there isn ' t a hint of a spark between zach and meg .\nalthough the list of deeds was supposedly created in the early 80s , there are a few deeds that don ' t seem to make sense to have existed since inception .\nsteal a car worth more than $ 100k\nseems unlikely , because the average cost of a new car in the 80 ' s was $ 7200 . it is also unlikely that the car dealership would have the same inflatable leprechaun or the lodge would have the same night watchmen for over 20 years . it is also believed that the list could have been created in the ' 70s .\ni love independent films . to me , they always seem to have much more heart and in depth story lines than most of the blockbusters that come out in theaters . since independent film makers don\u2019t have a major studio or a general audience to please , they have much more creative freedom , therefore are allowed to bring their passion projects to life . with this in mind , i\u2019ve decided to compile a list of my top 10 favorite indie films .\nzach attempts to complete the deeds for his classmates , meg and george cummings ( lacey chabert and david collins ) . meg and george ' s younger brother , kyle ( wes robinson ) , wants to do the challenge to earn the respect of the school ' s jocks , who are constantly bullying him . meg and george are concerned for their brother , and insist that zach stop him from trying to do something so foolish . while meg and george had no intention of zach attempting the deeds in place of their brother , zach decides to take on the challenge .\nzach , tries to protect the heroin ' s brother , who had accepted a challenge from \u2018the most popular guy at school ' to perform the deeds but he ends up accepting the challenge himself because the prize had been changed to the hot girl meg on whom zach has a huge crush .\nthe night begins , and zach easily checks off the first item on the list , drink beer in front of the cops , by pouring a beer into a coffee cup and consuming it in front of them . this way , the cops , who are determined to stop all those who attempt the deeds , have no idea of zach ' s intentions of completing the list . as zach attempts the nine remaining deeds , the jocks do everything in their power to prevent him from completing it . throughout his crazy night , zach enlists the help of those around him to accomplish the difficult tasks . along the way , zach meets duncan rime who tries to warn him about how hollow the victory can be . afterwards , zach refuses to continue , but dan and jd ( the tough kid from deed # 2 ) decide to try to ruin the carnival so that zach will be blamed . with some last - minute help from vincent scarno ( the owner of the car from deed # 8 ) , zach is able to turn the tables in time . in the midst of everything , zach , meg and george begin to develop feelings for each other , and zach and meg end up falling in love over the list of\ndirty deeds\n.\nproblem # 1 is evident . this movie is rated pg - 13 . imagine animal house or revenge of the nerds with a pg - 13 rating and you get an idea of the kinds of compromises necessary to allow teenagers into this movie . there are a couple of scenes that cry out for nudity , but it can ' t happen . there are certain genres in which viewers have a right to expect gratuitous toplessness , and dirty deeds belongs to one . depriving an audience of bare breasts is not going to go over well . but that ' s the price that goes with neutering an obviously r - rated concept to fit into a pg - 13 slot .\nthe ten\ndirty deeds\nare as follows : 1 . drink a beer in front of a cop . 2 . punch the toughest kid in town . 3 . masturbate into a loaf of bread in the supermarket bathroom . 4 . move the inflatable leprechaun from the local car lot to the school football field in one piece . 5 . steal a dead body and put it in the middle of the school . 6 . get a signed homecoming queen ' s bra . 7 . steal the blank lodge ' s night watchman ' s artificial leg . 8 . steal a car worth over $ 100 , 000 . 9 . find duncan rime . 10 . ruin the homecoming carnival . see more \u00bb\na truly australian film which captures the life of mobsters in the cross in sydney in 1969 . very funny and even true to some facts , this movie is worthwhile to see and if you still think americans dont belong in australia , well , this is for you . plenty of plot twists help to keep it going and even if you dont understand the language , if its on dvd you can just turn on the subtitles . dont see it if you ' re not australian - but if you are its a 8 / 10 easily .\n: lawton cheated on numerous occasions . he and his friends slashed his tires and falsely pretended to be someone else who was pretending to help him with a deed , only to lead him to elsewhere . then , when lawton sees zach is completing the deeds , beat him up as he was leaving and then got jd to return for his revenge after\nit ' s end of high school year time and it ' s prank night ! ! mix in porkys and all the other modern day high school movies and this is what you get . it ' s about a guy who takes on the 10 dirty deeds , it hasn ' t been done for years and the last person to complete them all was about 13yrs ago and for the last bunch of years no one has tried and before that some only managed to do a few . has everything you expect , dorks , jocks , pot heads , white guys pretending to be black , house party thrown by a freshman trying to get in with the seniors , thick cops , boob shots , ditsy cheerleader types . and 10 pranks to be done by one guy all been done before and been done better , but still it ' s quite watchable .\nfull of retroactive recognition galore and a laughably exaggerated spin on the teen comedy genre , this movie follows zach on his quest to win over his brainy beauty after her dorky younger brother agrees to take on the school bully by engaging in dares to prove he ' s tough . to get her brother off the hook , he does the deeds and ends up getting way more than he bargained for . . . like an ex criminal friend , a model ' s bra and most importantly , the girl . cliches follow .\nalthough this is a b movie at best and the plot is nothing special , i really like the tone this movie sets . we\u2019re meant to sympathize with the main character zach because he\u2019s a rebel who , although he refuses to admit it to others , is unsure of his future and is scared that he\u2019ll end up being someone he doesn\u2019t want to be . honestly , i think we can all really empathize with that when we think back to what we were like in high school . we spent 4 years in a place that was a prerequisite to the \u201creal world\u201d and we were all scared , at least a little , about what our future held . plus , we were pressured about what college we were going to go to and what we should study . these are some of zach\u2019s concerns , which is why he never really takes anything seriously and decides to step in for his crush\u2019s brother . the more pressure is put on us about our future , the more we want to do dangerous things to help us take our minds off of it . in this respect , i applaud this film for capturing teen angst and uncertainty in a unique way .\nsorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nhotel transylvania 3 : summer vacation stars plan their dream summer getaways to some memorable movie settings .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nthree college roommates join a bus full of gorgeous models and travel the country to compete in a national beer pong championship . with a busload of attractive women who knows how much fun they could have ?\nwhen adam accidentally gives up the location for the senior skip day party to his school ' s principal , he offers up his house as a new location . but for it to be a success , he needs to get . . . see full summary \u00bb\nvan wilder starts his freshman year at coolidge college and embarks on an adventure to land the campus hottie and liberate his school from sexual oppression and party dysfunction .\nthe two most popular guys in high school decide to ditch football camp for cheerleader camp . for the girls and for the glory .\nwhen two freshmen pledges are accepted into the biggest party frat on campus ( alpha house ) , they think they have it all . that is , until the assistant dean forces the alphas to share their . . . see full summary \u00bb\na wild weekend is in store for three high school seniors who visit a local college campus as prospective freshmen .\na group of nerdy college guys who can ' t seem to connect with girls their own age discover the excitement of hooking up with sexy older women .\ntaj mahal badalandabad leaves coolidge college behind for the halls of camford university in england , where he looks to continue his education , and teach an uptight student how to make the most out of her academic career .\n1973 sydney : an australian gangster sees booming business , due to u . s . soldiers being in town for relaxing between their tours to the vietnam war , attracts the attention of first the chicago mafia , and then their east coast competitors .\ncool is a struggling actor fed up with stereotypical african -

creator of the 1960s british television series the avengers , has suggested that the mildly excentric character of major hammond , played by ralph richardson , was the inspiration for iconic john steed , played by patrick macnee .\nalthough both measures seem to have the potential to alter the position of the landmarks used to measure the q angle and were statistically significant predictors of the magnitude of the q angle , changes in tibiofemoral angle seem to have a substantially greater impact on the magnitude of the q angle than femoral anteversion . this is based on interpretation of the regression coefficients ( b ) , which revealed that every 1 - degree change in tibiofemoral angle predicted approximately a 0 . 60 - degree change in q angle in both males and females , whereas every 1 - degree change in femoral anteversion predicted only a 0 . 18 - degree change in q angle . this suggests that a greater change in the magnitude of femoral anteversion is required before an appreciable change in the frontal plane positions of the landmarks is reflected in the measure of q angle . this may be explained by previous findings 43 that in weight - bearing , rotation of the femur may occur underneath the patella and potentially not change its position , resulting in a minimal medial displacement of the patella . collectively , these findings suggest that although various malalignments of the hip and knee are related to changes in q angle , those that involved frontal plane deviations seem to have a greater impact on the magnitude of change compared with deviations in other planes .\nas previous studies examining q angle as a risk factor for knee injuries have reported inconsistent findings , 4 , 5 , 14 \u2013 21 identifying the anatomical factors that may influence the anatomical landmarks from which the q angle is derived may help clarify its role in dynamic knee function . given that more than 1 anatomical variable has the potential to alter the q angle and that their independent effects differ in magnitude , it may be that the measurement of q angle alone is not sufficient to identify individuals at risk for knee injury . rather , it may be the unique combination of alignment characteristics that collectively contribute to the increased risk of knee injury .\nin addition to its espionage heritage q planes has a number of other claims to fame . brian clemens , co -

parts 15 , 25 , 34 \u2013 37 , 48 ; however , reasons for this sex difference are still unknown . previously , it was thought that the greater q angle in females was a result of females having a wider pelvis compared with males ; however , this has been well disputed . 34 , 35 , 49 to our knowledge , a study by pantano et al 50 is the only study that has empirically shown that sex differences in anatomical characteristics contribute to greater q angle in females . they report that subjects with a high q angle ( \u226517 degrees ) had a greater pelvic width to femur length ratio compared with subjects with a low q angle ( \u22648 degrees ) . the limitation with this study was that these results are based on a relatively small sample size ( n = 10 per group ) . although not the primary purpose of this study , our results suggest that greater q angle in females may be a result of females having greater structural femoral anteversion and tibiofemoral angle compared with males . this is based on previous work noting that each of these values is greater in females compared with males 25 and our current observations that greater femoral anteversion and tibiofemoral angle were associated with greater q angle , regardless of sex .\nexcessive q angle has been identified as a potential risk factor for knee injuries , but evidence to support this relationship is unclear . a reason for these inconsistent findings may be in part due to limited understanding of how other anatomical characteristics influence the magnitude of the q angle . this is the first study to our knowledge that has examined the collective alignment of the lower extremity and its relationship to q angle . our findings that the q angle largely represents a frontal plane measure suggest that independently examining the q angle for its effects on lower extremity injuries may not be sufficient . the rotational alignments not accounted for in the q angle may be important factors toward understanding knee injuries , which are thought to result from a combination of transverse and frontal plane motions . until all relevant postural characteristics are accounted for in future study designs , the relationships between static alignment , dynamic knee function , and injury risk will remain largely theoretical . continuing to understand the relationship among alignment characteristics may help clinicians effectively identify those that may be at greater risk for injury and therefore help us develop intervention strategies to subsequently reduce the risk of a lower extremity injury .\nq planes was a knock -

stealing oil tanker .\nanatomical alignment of the lower extremity has been proposed as a risk factor for lower extremity injuries , in particular , knee injuries . 1 \u2013 7 among these lower extremity alignment variables , the quadriceps angle ( q angle ) has been frequently studied , which is defined as the angle formed by a line from the anterior superior iliac spine to the patella center and a line from the patella center to the tibial tuberosity . 8 as q angle represents the direction of the quadriceps muscle force vector in the frontal plane , 9 excessive angulation is thought to predispose individuals to injuries caused by abnormal quadriceps forces acting at the knee and patellofemoral joints . however , the extent to which excessive q angle increases the risk of knee injury remains unclear . although the q angle has been suggested as a risk factor for anterior cruciate ligament injury ( acl ) , 10 \u2013 13 retrospective risk factor studies 4 , 5 , 14 have failed to confirm this relationship . q angle has also been associated with patellofemoral pain syndrome , 15 \u2013 17 but others 18 \u2013 21 have observed no difference in q angle when comparing patients with patellofemoral pain with healthy individuals . moreover , the degree of angulation that is thought to be excessive and predispose one to knee pathology remains unclear . 15 \u2013 17\nto warn the luftwaffe that the british secret service knew of the aircraft\u2019s fate , it is alleged that secret service funds were used to finance a film that told the story of an aircraft going missing over the english channel . lord vansittart of denham was a friend of sir alexander korda , who had founded london films at denham studios . in 1939 london films released q planes , which was called clouds over europe in the united states of america . in the film several british planes carrying secret equipment disappear over the english channel , brought down by a mysterious ray that was beamed from a salvage ship that was presumed , but never stated , to be german .\ni loved q planes ( 1939 ) for how the trio of laurence olivier , ralph richardson & valerie hobson interacted together . too bad they didn ' t have more scenes as a collective for they were so fluent playing off each other ! otherwise this is a wisecracking spy story which is kept entertaining without taking anything very seriously . playful with richardson getting to showcase his comic brilliance and few have ever looked more beautiful then hobson here !\n= 0 . 003 ) for males and females , respectively . once all alignment variables were accounted for , greater tibiofemoral angle and femoral anteversion were statistically significant predictors of greater q angle in both males ( tibiofemoral angle\nin regard to pathologies of the patellofemoral joint , greater q angle has been shown to be highly correlated ( r = 0 . 919 ) to a larger laterally directed muscle force vector on the patella . 9 this larger laterally directed muscle force may in turn lead to lateral patellar tracking 9 and an increase in patello - femoral contact pressures , 54 which are thought to predispose an individual to patellofemoral pain . 24 however , a relationship between excessive q angle and the development of patellofe - moral pain has not been clearly established . 15 \u2013 21 the lack of consistent findings in these investigations may again be explained by the influence of other lower extremity alignment factors ( ie , rotational deformities ) , along with q angle , that have been suggested to result in abnormal patellofemoral mechanics . 24 , 55 because rotational lower extremity malalign - ments are largely not accounted for in the measurement of q angle , investigating the effects of other lower extremity alignment variables along with q angle may provide a clearer picture as to the role that lower extremity static alignment plays in the development of patellofemoral pain .\nenjoyable espionage story , not too serious , well acted by leads and supporting actors , good dialogues . some of the sci -

year friendship and theatrical collaboration and had just completed othello , with richardson in the title role and olivier as iago , when this film was made . the film was produced by irving asher , an american , with british film impresario alexander korda as executive producer .\nthe properties of moir\u00e9 fringes in talbot interferometry are analyzed when the angle between the two grating planes is small . the results indicate that the tilt angle of the moir\u00e9 fringes , observed just behind the test grating , is sensitive to the small angle . based on this sensitivity , several features of parallelism of the two grating planes are presented , and the influence of the small angle when checking the beam collimation of a lens is also discussed . the validity of the theoretical analysis is illustrated by experiment .\nq . o . k . , breathing in through the nose , out through the mouth . s o what happened on thursday ? a . the f . c . c . met to decide whether to change the rule banning cellphone use in flight . while three of the five f . c . c . commissioners voted to repeal the rule , the department of transportation , which governs flights , stepped in and said it would consider banning the use of cellphones for voice calls on planes .\nairline passengers have been in an uproar since news broke that the federal communications commission was planning to overturn a rule that banned the use of cellphones on planes while in flight . the following are some of the most popular questions i get from readers on this topic .\nthis humorous espionage thriller refuses to take itself too seriously . it is very much a precursor to the james bond films of the 1960s , likely because it was co - written by jack whittingham , who later helped create the film version of bond . whittingham was one of the principal architects of thunderball ( 1965 ) , originally intended to be the first 007 picture . many classic bond elements are found in q planes , including bringing down planes electronically ( as in dr . no ) , memorably quirky characters , tongue - in - cheek humour and a big battle at the end . its influence extended even further than bond ; patrick macnee says he based his charming , offbeat john steed character from 1960s tv classic series the avengers on ralph richardson ' s scene - stealing portrayal in this film .\nq planes did well but richardson\u2019s film career didn\u2019t really take off then or ever . he did plenty but never enjoyed the kind of star power afforded to olivier . he just wasn\u2019t the leading man type but at comedy , he could have done well . still , it\u2019s not surprising that richardson didn\u2019t spend the rest of his career playing in spy comedies , given the opportunities available to him on the stage but it\u2019s a shame that he didn\u2019t do more movies like this anyway . producer alexander korda had already worked with richardson before ( on things to come [ 1936 ] ) and was able to recognize in him the talents to pull off a role like this . comedy takes skill , timing and instinct but gets precious little industry recognition . richardson had all three but either lacked the desire to do more or the star power to get further offers . no matter . i won\u2019t sit here bemoaning the dearth of spy comedies with the team of richardson , olivier and hobson . i\u2019ll simply be happy that we have q planes , quirks , quips and all .\nq . why did the d . o . t . step in ? a . as my colleague edward wyatt noted , the pushback is a reaction to the widespread public outrage over the proposal by the f . c . c . to loosen the rules .\nfurther supporting this premise is the lack of relationships between pelvic angle and navicular drop with the q angle . based on clinical expertise and observation , 3 , 22 \u2013 24 , 44 \u2013 46 we hypothesized that greater anterior pelvic tilt and pronation ( as measured by navicular drop ) would also predict q angle magnitude . specifically , we expected that greater anterior tilt of the pelvis would change the spatial orientation of the anatomical landmarks similar to hip anteversion where the patella would displace medially and the tibial tuberosity would displace laterally . this was based on a previous report 47 that an anterior pelvic tilt results in the acetabulum shifting backward , causing the femur to internally rotate on the pelvis . our hypothesis that a greater navicular drop would also be a predictor of greater q angle was based on previous studies that reported that an excessive pronation is associated with internal rotation of the lower extremity and increased knee valgus 3 , 44 and is therefore suggested to result in greater q angle . 45 , 46 as previously discussed , both increased anterior pelvic tilt and navicular drop would result in rotational changes in the femur and tibia , 3 , 22 \u2013 24 , 44 \u2013 46 displacing the patella medially and the tibial tuberosity laterally , which do not seem to be sufficient to alter the frontal plane landmarks used in the measurement of q angle .\nby the end of the movie i still had not the first idea what q planes were actually supposed to be ( planes being flown on the quiet ? ) : the movie\u2019s title seems to have been one of those just dreamt up somewhere . i had no idea , too , what the initial sequence was supposed to be all about : hammond is discovered by a platoon of cops on the couch in someone else\u2019s apartment , seemingly drunk but oh no he\u2019s not really . i was lost on the physics of the miracle ray . at one stage tony tries to explain it : \u201cmarconi was working on a ray when he died . he could cut a motorcar engine at twenty - five yards . these fellows must have perfected it for long - distance . \u201d i listened to this , and came away none the wiser .\na jolly bit of fun . the pacing is a little too quick for my liking , and i don ' t mean in terms of the dialogue . i really enjoyed the really fast - paced wit and intelligence of the writing and its delivery , which reminded me of his girl friday , but in terms of the characterisation q planes loses quite a bit through this . tony and kaye ' s relationship in particular confuses me . olivier is not given the best material , leaving ralph richardson to take the limelight with a wonderfully written and humorous part .\nq . does this actually happen ? a . yes . in europe , virgin atlantic allows unlimited data connections to all passengers , but the airline lets only six people talk on a cellphone at the same time . most lufthansa flights allow only data connections through a cellphone and no phone calls .\nincreases from 0 % to 100 % , spaces between zno nanoparticles on the surface gradually increase and polar planes and corresponding surface free energy of the thin films increase first and then decrease . therefore , the variety of wca could be mainly attributed to the change of surface morphology of the zno thin films . figure\nstarring alongside ralph richardson and valerie hobson , laurence olivier portrays a test pilot engaged in secret experimental missions in this witty , cleverly plotted world war two spy drama . briskly directed by hollywood veteran tim whelan and featuring typically innovative art direction from vincent korda , q planes is presented here in a brand - new transfer from the original film elements . the frequent disappearance of new bombing planes on their trial flights - one off the coast of america , one off the french coast , another in russia , and a fourth in england - has left the authorities perplexed . while there is no clear evidence of foul play , the authorities call in scotland yard , and major hammond is assigned to investigate the mystery . he is one of only three men who refuse to believe that the disappearances are not the result of sabotage - much to the resentment of mr barratt , head of plane manufacturer barratt and ward . . . special features : [ ] image gallery\nwith atcq ' s latest album coming out right after election day , it only seems fitting that their lyrics would reflect the sensitive topics that are currently shaping the culture . during their short conversation , q - tip went on to discuss the tensions in this country led by capitalism , racism , fears , and more .\nregarding olivier ' s performance in the film , critic dilys powell recalled\nbeing surprised that the actor made so slight an impression\n, and described him as\ndashing but undistinguished .\nfor olivier scholars and fans , q planes shows the dramatic difference his subsequent american work with wyler and hitchcock made on his film acting . here , olivier is at the height of the glib , self - conscious acting style of the 15 pictures he had made before his work with wyler . olivier writes that it was only then he learned to stop condescending to pictures as a mere paycheck between shakespeare productions and instead master acting for the camera as its own form .\nralph richardson and laurence olivier had already developed quite the reputation among actors in the 1930s as powerhouses of the london stage . both had worked together in the west end and had recently worked together on a production of othello at the old vic , with richardson in the title role and olivier as iago . so the fact that their first film together should be a spy comedy seems counter - intuitive until you see it and ask yourself why it didn\u2019t happen more often ? richardson and olivier , joined by valerie hobson , turn out to be one hell of a good comedy team and q planes is a comedy so quickly paced and expertly timed , it still seems fresh today .\nq planes has a stunning cast . aside from hobson ( i can\u2019t remember her looking lovelier than she does here ) , olivier and richardson , there are some headlining actors even among the uncredited parts\u2014derek farr ( as hammond\u2019s aide ) , ian fleming , sally gray and the great miles malleson . what the movie manages to generate from this cast is , alas , very little . it would be easy to describe it as just yet another propaganda movie aimed at persuading the us to recognize\u2014which of course it didn\u2019t in 1939\u2014that nazism was a bad thing and should be countered . but at the time the movie was made there wasn\u2019t much realization in the uk that such persuasion would be necessary .\nseveral scenes were filmed at brooklands - the clubhouse and the banking are clearly visible . when the ministry dragon rapide comes into land , a wellington is just visible in the background . the test plane appears to be an airspeed oxford ; other planes were tiger moths and gypsy moths , and possibly a bristol fighter ( just the engine and propeller are seen ) .\nwhile i never questioned the talents of ralph richardson ( what fool would ? ) i don\u2019t think i realized until seeing q planes some years ago that he was such a talented comic actor . there is no cringing mugging , no dripping condescension , no big delivery of punchlines . instead , he effortlessly releases a stream of quips from the opening of this quirky little film to its closing moments , and they work so well one marvels at how easy he makes it look . and when he\u2019s teamed up with olivier , the two do such a splendid job with comic banter that had that whole shakespearean act dried up for them they could have made a career on the stage as a proto - nichols and may .\neveryone involved with this brisk comedy / thriller seems to be enjoying themselves immensely . it ' s a ripping yarn about spies , disappearing planes and a secret ray gun , lit up by olivier and richardson , with lots of cheerful gags along the way . it ' s dated , of course , but if you can leave that aside it ' s still good fun .\nthe relationships identified among the lower extremity alignment characteristics in the current study are limited to the alignment characteristics measured by a single examiner with known measurement reliability . we also acknowledge that other anatomical and postural measures could potentially influence q angle ( eg , coxa vara , joint laxity , patella mobility , muscular properties , and knee version ) and impact dynamic motion and knee injury risk . in fact , approximately 80 % of the variance in the q angle was unexplained by the alignment measures studied in the current investigation . although we are continuing work in this area , we hope that the findings of this study lead to a more comprehensive approach in the examination of a lower extremity alignment when considering anatomical contributions to dynamic lower extremity motion and knee injury risk .\nreal telemetry offers better safety ! we recommend the telemetry for the very simple reason that the radio can warn you if you are having a reception issue on the aircraft . we consider this very important . this is good for you , and it is great for the hobby . some other brands claim to offer telemetry but they lack this key safety feature . if your current radio does not have an rssi feature , then you should seriously consider upgrading today . why guess if you are having any issues ? with telemetry your transmitter will alert you if the radio link starts to weaken . this can happen due to poor aircraft layout , radio damage , or some issue at the field . it has saved many planes , and will continue to do so . no more waiting for our planes to crash !\nnow that a tribe called quest ' s new album we got it from here . . . thank you 4 your service is finally out , the members have a lot to say about what inspired their first album in nearly two decades . during a recent stop by the daily show , q - tip discussed the influences on the group ' s latest album with host trevor noah .\nfast paced spy thriller about sabotage with a droll government servant / secret serviceman ( ralph richardson ) , his journalist sister ( valerie hobson ) and an air force pilot ( laurence olivier ) racing against time to discover who is using some device to get planes to go missing while flying on combat missions . delighful mixture of screwball comedy and political intrigue works marvelously to create an entertaining little gem . richardson is hilarious ! !\nhe levels up again tonight with the help of kanye west \u2014\u201dthat part\u201d is murky and murderous , with gloomy synths and echoing vocals that make the two rapper\u2019s verses stand out like lightning against storm clouds . ye and q are howling at the moon on this one , and it sounds great\u2014especially when kanye lets loose at the end of the track : \u201cwalking living legend man / i feel like kobe ! \u201d\njoey badass is currently gearing up for the release of his forthcoming album all - amerikkkan bada $ $ . ahead of the album ' s april 7 release , joey first previewed what was to come with the striking visuals for his lead single\nland of the free .\ntoday , joey is back with another track taken from this new album , a collaboration with schoolboy q titled\nrockabye baby .\nq . are there any reports of passengers arguing because a seatmate is talking on a cellphone ? a . not as far as officials can tell . a study by the f . a . a . in 2012 found no reports \u201cof air rage\u201d from passengers because of people talking on cellphones . it seems most people are respectful of their fellow passengers and chat only when it\u2019s absolutely necessary for short periods of time .\nas i was saying , this pommy propaganda piece was a major inspiration behind the avengers . series creator brian clemens and patrick macnee himself specifically aimed at duplicating not only ralph richardson \u2018s character but also the basic situation of a government agent working with a civilian to solve crimes . macnee\u2019s character , john steed , was introduced in a show called police surgeon , and was soon given his own series entitled the avengers . his first companion was ian hendry as the aforementioned police surgeon , but was soon replaced by sexy female assistants in the shape of honor blackman , diana rigg and um , whatshername . that\u2019s what happens when you follow a class act like diana rigg . oh , and in the new avengers we had the absolutely fabulous joanna lumley , a former bond girl , which brings me neatly to the influence q planes had over the bond films .\nralph richardson plays major hammond , an agent for the british government looking into several mysterious disappearances of airplanes outfitted with new technologies . what\u2019s happening to the planes is anyone\u2019s guess and the most predominant assumption seems to be that they\u2019re crashing into the sea . hammond doesn\u2019t buy that for a second and thinks they\u2019re being taken for their technology . he questions the owner of the aircraft company employing the flight crews but doesn\u2019t get a very warm welcome .\nq . but who actually wants this change ? a . funny you should ask . there are very few people who actually want the ability to be able to talk on their phone during a flight , but there are a lot of passengers who have asked the f . c . c . for the ability to send text messages and use their phone data connection . voice calls were simply a byproduct of those requests .\nq . technically , how does this even work ? i lose cell signals on my phone above 10 , 000 feet . a . the airlines would fit a device called a picocell to the bottom of a plane . the device acts like a giant booster for cellular signals . picocells are essentially tiny cellular base stations , much like your wi - fi hotspot at home , which typically cover relatively small areas , like an airplane .\nfirst , the total global warming impact of each flight is thought to be around twice as high as the co2 emissions alone ( see ' what ' s an aviation multiplier ? ' , below ) . second , the figures are skewed in favour of british travellers . the standard way to account for the emissions for an international flight is to allocate half to the country of departure and half to the country of arrival . but uk residents take up two - thirds of the seats on the average plane landing at or taking off from a british airport . this means the official statistics are effectively offloading the emissions of british holidaymakers and businesspeople on to the countries they ' re visiting . third , the aviation industry causes emissions over and above those of the planes themselves . the processing and transportation of the aviation fuel , and the manufacture and maintenance of planes , airports and support vehicles all create extra carbon dioxide .\nwartime spy comedy starring laurence olivier , ralph richardson and valerie hobson . scotland yard ' s major hammond ( richardson ) is called in to investigate the disappearance of several missing british planes . teaming up with dashing pilot tony mcvane ( olivier ) , hammond discovers that enemy agents are bringing down the aircraft with a powerful ray , projected from a ship in the atlantic . when mcvane too is abducted from the skies , hammond has to speed to his rescue .\nwritten and produced in september 1938 , just before olivier sailed for america to star as heathcliff in wuthering heights ( 1939 ) , q planes is historically interesting for its contrast to later british war films and to olivier ' s later film career . the film might be called the last of the\nneutral britain\nspy comedies , which hitchcock had pioneered in the 39 steps ( 1935 ) and the lady vanishes ( 1938 ) , its tone blends a spy thriller with high - tech villains , sophisticated romance and rapid - fire comedy . the british later excelled at this genre in the james bond films from the 1960s on ( jack whittington co - wrote thunderball [ 1965 ] ) but here the comedic aspects are in contrast to the ardent , patriotic , more sombre films that the british made once war was declared and hitler began to conquer all of europe while britain stood by , seemingly helpless .\nprototype british planes are mysteriously disappearing on their test flights , and major hammond of scotland yard ( ralph richardson ) is called in to investigate , teaming up with ace pilot tony mcvane ( laurence olivier ) . the problem is still unsolved when tony goes up on a test flight and is brought down over the atlantic by a ship . when taken aboard as a captive , he discovers the other missing airmen and attempts to devise a way for them to escape .\nq . so what happens next ? a . the rule will move into a public review , where people like you and me , and airlines , can comment on the proposed repeal . the rule will most likely be changed next year to allow passengers to use their cellphones for data and text messages while above 10 , 000 feet . but , as of now , it looks as if voice calls will not be included in that change ."]}

unusual story , deft screenplay , lilting music by lp & excellent direction by dulal guha . the performances by the cast are superb . meena kumari is her usual self while mumtaj is sprightly & johny walker ' s comedy is hilarious . but the film belongs to the superstar rajesh khanna who is in his elements right through . there is a perception that amitabh brought the concept of the angry young man to hindi films , but looking at kaka ' s performance here , we realise that it is not true . it is a pity that he did not get the filmfare award for best actor . the film was a super hit & rightfully so . this film will find a place in the top 10 films of rajesh khanna . an all time favourite of kaka fans .\nhum dono is a 1985 hindi film , starring rajesh khanna and hema malini , and is directed by b . s . glaad . the music is by r d burman , and the songs are sung by kishore kumar and asha bhonsle .\nthe film , produced by premji , is loosely based on v . shantaram\u2019s iconic \u201cdo ankhen barah haath\u201d which deals with an alternative system of punishing convicts , by integrating them in the social structure and giving them a chance to atone for their sins .\nenjoyed koshish a lot . very good film . dilip kumar had seen sanjeev kumar in same frame in sangharsh . he admired sanjeev kumar ' s acting abilities then also and gave him a gift on his good performance . both were very good actors .\nbut given all this nuance in the first half , i thought the film was compromised by the abruptness of its final 20 minutes and an unconvincing resolution where the protagonists\u2019 son amit is emotionally bullied into marrying a deaf and dumb girl ( the daughter of hari\u2019s boss ) .\nthe film was directed by shakti samanta , and is based on a story nishipadma by bibhutibhushan bandopadhyay and stars rajesh khanna and sharmila tagore . the thought -

writers this ) who meet , get married and negotiate the many challenges of their shared condition . needless to say , this makes for a film with many emotional scenes , underlined by madan mohan\u2019s insistently ( and often effectively ) melodramatic background score .\nthis is a common trait amongst indian ( read bollywood ) film - makers where some of them dare to take on challenging subjects , but succumb at the last minute to box - office performance pressure by providing a more popular ending . i watched the film swades a few days ago and observed a similar ending . the film - maker , for 2 . 5 hours , presented an issue - a very realistic one , but then hurriedly wrapped up the film with a * popular * decision that the lead character takes to return to the village in india by bidding farewell to a successful nasa career . the filmmaker would have thought that if he had made the protagonist practical and made him choose his career at nasa , the general audience will not like the ending resulting in poor performance at the box - office . i feel that an even better ending would have been to keep an open ending as there is not easy solution to the issue at hand . on the contrary , and not to compare , in the movie\nordinary people\n, the filmmaker chooses a realistic and non - happy and non - melodramatic ending where the family that lost a member does not live happily ever after . this is where the filmmaker chose to dare take a difficult subject , and stuck with it . as long as a realistic story that addresses realistic issues tries to please the general audience the story will never turn into a gem . i love reading your blog . great job !\nagainst his wishes , rajesh khanna had to comply with the court ' s ruling . rajesh khanna initially faced the animosity of the victim ' s family and villagers . but slowly things changed . the film then continued with usual bollywood turns and twists and finally ended on a happy note with the victim ' s family , notably the widow , forgiving rajesh khanna for the crime .\naaj ka m . l . a . ram avtar ( 1984 ) aaj ka ram avtar mla is a 1984 film starring starring rajesh khanna in the lead role . ram avtar , played by rajesh khanna , personally grooms minister digvijay singh . when digvijay ' s political party is in need of someone to stand in the forthcoming election , digvijay recommends ram avtar as his choice .\nin movies where he was equal dish to the heroine he was dependant on the luck of mumtaz with whom he was equal dish in dushman , bandhan and apna desh . even when his hips became wider during roti the luck of mumtaz favoured him . he was main dish in bawarchi and only goraa could break the flop record of bawarchi . he was main dish in mere jeevan saathi and mere jeevan saathi broke the flop record of bawarchi . he was double dish in humshakal and asked moushami whose child she was carrying and humshakal proved what will happen if faltu ' s shakal is shown twice . faltu khanna could have luck in two shakals only if vinod khanna supported him like he did in sachcha jhoota where faltu khanna had two shakals . faltu khanna tried to repeat his double shakal flop of humshakal in deewar and demanded that his shakals be shown twice and salim javed , who did not want to see a repetition of humshakal where faltu khanna showed his shakal twice , took the film deewar without faltu khanna ' s shakal in it .\nmedia is a big vulture . when sachin bats well media will feed on his fame and write good about him . when he bats bad the same media will become vultures who feed on his failure and write about his falling scores . faltu khanna also had to face such a media that copy pasted what devi wrote . devi never spoke bad about him . even what she spoke in the bombay superstar interview was just a fact that he is going with dimple to many shrines for praying for the victory of daag . devi was an anukoola shatru of faltu khanna . she did the best pleasant thing for him . faltu khanna liked it and benefitted from it . but what they together created was poison and faltu khanna had to drink the poison alone while vinod khanna began to come up without any hype due to which the industry did not even know about vinod khanna ' s disappearance from the film industry . it is the absence of the one whose presence is frequently shown that will be visible . faltu khanna ' s absence became visible after the glorious six flops of 1972 - the year when his stardom was ended by hema malini .\nkaka had a gorgeous face and a killer smile ! !\nthat was till 1972 - the year in which he gave 6 flops . after that his smile disappeared . see namak haram . where is the\nkiller smile\nthat he had in haathi mere saathi on his face ? it was missing and in place of that killer smile he had a faded smile . the killer smile was replaced by his buttocks that had grown double the size of lady mountbatten ' s buttocks while acting in namak haram . from 1973 it was big buttock period for him with chulbulji having the last laugh of the image she projected of big buttocks which he was struggling to keep but with no success : ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) )\nthe film depicts rajesh khanna a rash driver who frequently drives while drunk . one morning he drives at breakneck speed in thick fog to make up for lost time after consuming alcohol . he inevitably ends up running over and killing a farmer . but despite the opportunity to hit and run , he decides to stay and face the consequences . he is arrested by the police , charged , and brought before the courts .\nafter making a futile attempt to escape , surjit is confronted by unbridled scorn and animosity by ram din\u2019s family and other villagers , who label him a dushman . the rest of the story is based on surjit\u2019s drive to realise the dreams of his victim : getting a bumper harvest in the fields , marrying off his sister , and preventing ganga din\u2019s limited assets from falling into the hands of the avaricious landlord ( anwar hussain ) . his integration in the victim\u2019s family is complete when he saves malti\u2019s honour from the landlord\u2019s evil grasp ( who had earlier entrapped surjit in a false murder charge ) . in all these endeavours , surjit is helped by durga prasad , a larger hearted farmer ( veteran kannaiyalal in a rare positive outing ) .\nin the film , the widow of the victim finally pardoned rajesh khanna in two years ' time as she thought rajesh khanna had done enough penance with a clear conscience . in real life , the widow of nurullah sharif said on tv yesterday ,\nit is the win of money power . justice is never for the poor . i will never forgive salman for taking my husband away from me\n. it has been a little more than 13 years since the incident and the widow of the victim is yet to forgive salman .\nanother major anukoola shatru of faltu khanna was devyani chaubal . she never betrayed him . but what she did for him was to create an illusion for which only faltu khanna would be answerable if the illusion fades and reality shows . she created the illusion that he is an actor with blood written letters coming in . she used to tell this in such repeated frequencies that even today the chant continues although no one has been able to answer how many blood written letters faltu khanna got in total . since the todal number of letters were not specified by devyani chaubal everyone uses the capacity to believe that the total number of blood written letters could be one lakh , two lakh , three lakh and so on . when it was 1972 anju mahendru objected to faltu khanna sleeping with devyani chaubal and demanded that what justice is there in her cancelling her engagement with garry sobers for the sake of faltu khanna when faltu khanna continues double sleeping with anju and devyani chaubal . faltu khanna asked devyani chaubal not to come to asirwad hereafter . what faltu khanna did not know is that it was the continuous conjugal meetings between him and devyani chaubal that were the fuel for the glorious writings of devyani chaubal .\nsomething else i found jarring : when hari\u2019s boss initially makes the proposal , hari ( who doesn\u2019t yet know about the girl\u2019s condition ) firmly refuses , indicating in sign language that the gap in social status between their families is too large . this is an unedifying moment ( to say the least ) given that the film is shortly about to condemn discrimination in another sphere . basically , though hari is stricken by his son\u2019s reluctance to accept a speech - impaired girl for a wife , he himself has been attaching undue importance to the class divide \u2013 something that is a much less momentous factor in a situation where two people will be spending their lives together .\nand yet , there is an unusually whimsical , carefree moment early in the film . hari ( sanjeev kumar ) and arti ( jaya bhaduri ) are getting to know each other , going for walks together and so on . after watching a man talk into a public phone , they enter the booth and make prank calls \u2013 dialling numbers randomly , pretending to speak and listen . a succession of befuddled people answer the line at the other end , and finally there is a charming cameo : dilip kumar ( presumably playing himself ) walking down a stairway in a large house , looking around with mild annoyance at having to pick up the phone himself . he listens to hari making\nkp and oddan : you ' ve made similar points and to an extent i see what you mean , but let me try and address this more fully : i feel that you are analyzing the movie through present day glasses . kp : well , okay , but so what ? surely you don ' t expect me to climb into a time machine , go back 40 years and then write about this film ! : d but more seriously , i don ' t get this watertight distinction between how things were done then and how they are done today . fact 1 : there were some people , even in that social strata , 40 years ago , who would have defied their parents and asserted themselves ( and there were parents who would eventually have given in ) . fact 2 : there are some people , even today , and in the most seemingly progressive communities , who are completely under their parents ' thumbs in these matters . ( you do know about\nhonour killings\n, right ? ) this past - vs - present divide isn ' t a clear one by any means . also , i might be wrong about this , but in both your comments i sense an undertone of quiet respect for an idealised time when kids would toe the line and unquestioningly listen to their parents . but personally speaking i don ' t have much respect for that attitude , and naturally this colours my perspective on the ending . even assuming that it was the\ndone thing\nin the past , i don ' t think that justifies the emotional manipulation . more importantly , from a cinematic perspective , i thought the ending of koshish was poorly done - it was much too abrupt and sketchy , and the film ' s suggestion that amit is eventually happy with the decision isn ' t at all convincing . the last shot feels like a very hurried attempt to reach a happy ending . if the film had found a way to convincingly portray amit ' s change of heart ( perhaps by giving him a scene or two with the girl ) , it would have worked much better .\nall i wanted to point out is that while you and i may disagree vehemently with the choices the character makes in a movie it does not necessarily follow that it was bad character development , script or direction or filmmaking . oddan : completely agree - i should have been clearer about this in the post . like i said in my last comment , the main issue isn ' t the worldview being portrayed but the disjointedness of the film ' s climax and ending . on the other hand , the worldview does in a way contribute to the slapdash ending . i am just quibbling over the suggestion that you did not like the movie because you did not like the way a character behaved . understood . though i haven ' t said anywhere that i didn ' t like the movie !\nwasn ' t koshish based on a japanese film ? i remember reading that somewhere . i recall many vignettes from the movie , though i was just a kid when i saw it . somehow i recall aarti as refusing hari because she wasn ' t sure he could look after her , then he shows himself to be assertive and capable and she changes her mind . you said she saw his vulnerability , so i must be confusing the scenes in my mind . i remember feeling really sad when their child dies due to asrani ' s burglary . and i remember asrani - after seeing him playing only bufoony roles , it was quite unusual to see him playing this negative , exploitative role . yeah , the ending jarred even as a kid . i recall feeling annoyed at the emotional blackmail by hari - he chose a soulmate with whom he could communicate , but denied his son that privilege from some kind of misguided philanthropic drive .\nfraudsters using fake address to rig the system is not a new phenomenon . here\u2019s how flipkart is using artificial intelligence to tide over this issue\nin the march quarter , private equity inflows into the residential sector more than doubled to $ 1 . 32 billion\nwhile rs 3 , 900

week . here\u2019s a look at ten other sports biopics bollywood has to offer in the coming months\nmost of last week , the untimely demise of rajesh khanna led television channels to feature panel discussions on the superstar\u2019s life and times , particularly his fall from the position he occupied from 1969 to \u201972 .\neven in action sequences , khanna looks credible . surely , the actor\u2019s downfall was more due to other reasons cited \u2014 unprofessionalism and arrogance among them \u2014 rather than his capacity to adapt to action - oriented roles . it is a testimony to the tragedy of khanna that at an age ( 30 ) when most male actors in hindi films barely get a toehold in the industry , khanna was to go into an irrevocable slide . perhaps it was his failure to handle superstardom and the consequent adulation which led to this sorry state of affairs .\nanother reason that comes forth is his lack of business acumen ( most actors had become business savvy pros by then ) and his utter failure to look after his dapper looks . the camera , which never lies , caught the perceptible and sudden change in his looks \u2014 receding hairline , paunch , puffy face \u2014 truthfully .\nthus , surjit singh , on a misty morning , when visibility is low , accidentally crushes a farmer , ram din , under the wheels of his truck . although he has the opportunity to escape , he gives himself up for trial in the court of a judge ( rehman , an epitome of competence , restraint and grace ) who wants to pioneer a new system of dispensing punishment . after acquiring permission for his experiment from the higher judiciary , the learned judge decrees that surjit singh will serve his sentence by ensuring the survival of deceased ram din\u2019s family , which includes his widow , malti ( meena kumari in one of her last films is adequately placed to play the role of the beleaguered widow , with her perfect timing for tragedy , and some melodrama ) , sister kamla ( naaz , passable , with her limited talent ) , two sons , a crippled father , ganga din ( veteran actor nana palsikar is able to evoke sympathy ) and ganga din\u2019s blind wife ( leela mishra , yet to become an accomplished character actor , which she did in later years ) .\nin the midst of all this , love blooms between him and phoolmati ( mumtaz ) , a gypsy who shows a bioscope in the village to earn a living . the two share a screen chemistry that is one of the abiding milestones in the 100 years of cinema . mumtaz , with her sensuous pout and body hugging dresses , is remarkable in the role . she is indeed worth watching in songs that include \u201cdekho dekho dekho bioscope dekho\u201d ( lata mangeshkar ) and \u201cmaine dekha tune dekha\u2019 ( duet by lata mangeshkar and kishore kumar ) .\nthe music , composed by laxmikant - pyarelal to lyrics by anand bakshi , adds to its lure , as does the crisp editing . other character actors , including abhi bhattacharya ( soft - hearted inspector ) , sajjan ( landlord\u2019s stooge ) , asit sen ( head constable harishankar chaurasiya ) are competent .\nakshay kumar with \u2018singh is bliing\u2019 , his fourth release of 2015

or indeed between any\nhandicapped\npeople and\nnormal\npeople - always run the risk of waxing trite and preachy , and sparsh does not fully avoid this hazard . some of its uncomfortable moments feel canned and facile , as when kavita , at one of her early meetings with anirudh , refers to his students as\nthose poor children ;\nanirudh bristles , telling kavita to remove the word\npoor\nfrom her vocabulary , as his children do not need her pity .\nmuch against her will , she was deputed to make a film on the blind relief association , delhi .\ni didn ' t want to go , but now i ' m glad i went -

dog sadness . their romance is delicious , sweet and even passionate at moments . and there are some truly beautiful scenes . in one , kavita shops for a new sari , closing her eyes and using her fingertips to choose one that anirudh will like . in another , anirudh makes kavita blush , describing for her why he finds her beautiful - her fragrance , the sound of her voice , the softness of her touch .\nkay kay is one of the best actors that bollywood has . it is always a pleasure to work with him . the short film format is like t -

determined work of and about sensuality . no\u00e9 uses 3 - d photography but also never stops reminding viewers that they are outside of the frame , as he directly acknowledges in one scene where an erect penis thrusts directly at the camera before ejaculating cgi semen . you can ' t watch this movie and ever really forget that you ' re watching a movie , as is reinforced by the film ' s elliptically - structured plot , droning soundtrack and periodic mid - scene black - out cuts . that ' s because murphy is , like some of no\u00e9 ' s previous blank slate heroes , a character who remembers himself at his most frustratingly vacant .\nall the actors ( ketaki mategaonkar , gauri bapat , medha manjrekar , savita malpekar , sakharam kulkarni , abhijit kelkar and vaibhav mangle ) do full justice to their characters and deliver memorable performances . but as a man taking on the system and fighting against all , including his own self , sachin khedekar towers above all . looking at him , you feel the strength of his character and the weight of his fate . it is a brilliant performance in an exceptional film that is every bit worthy of all possible awards !\nproduced by basu bhattacharya , the film went on to win three national awards including that of best actor for naseer . interestingly , sanjeev kumar was the original choice of sai and it is only when could not do it that she approached naseer . thirty five years later one could not imagine any other actor in the shoes of aniruddh parmar . few years later , sanjeev kumar did go on to play a blind protagonist in \u201cqatl\u201d who was as \u201ckaabil\u201d as hrithik roshan is trying to be this republic day . that\u2019s for another day .\ngirish joshi\u2019s screenplay ( developed from usha datar\u2019s short story ) creates a complex multi - layered old world , full of contrasts and contradictions . the locations , costumes , language , music and cinematography \u2013 all contribute to creating a perfect period - feel . it is a film that works on both , personal as well as social levels . on a personal level , we get caught up in an emotional storm brewing between various characters and on a social level , we are shaken out of slumber by the stark portrayal of some inhuman religious rituals , which once made widowed life a living hell .\nnaseer and om puri often performed together like singing a duet . different notes but always working for a harmonious whole . here in a supporting role , om manages to leave an impact , despite naseer\u2019s immersive performance , because he creates another blind character which is as real and distinct as aniruddh . add to it yet another impressive turn by shabana azmi and we have a film that continues to feel fresh . she has the amazing ability to make the mundane dramatic and the dramatic believable . cinematographer virendra saini creates a contemplative atmosphere right from the opening shot when aniruddh is following kavita\u2019s voice on a hazy delhi morning .\nm . s . sathyu , an internationally renowned filmmaker and theatre director , moved to bombay from mysore in 1952 . he did a variety of jobs including animation , documentary , tv films , tv serials , designing and directing plays and even wrote a script for a ballet before making \u2018garm hava\u2019 in 1974 , that became one of the best films on the partition and won him a golden palm nomination at the cannes film festival including several awards in india . he has since made films like \u2018bara\u2019 and \u2018kanneshwara rama\u2019 while also directing many successful plays . \u2018kala parvat\u2019 is an indo - russian joint collaboration with alexander zagurdi .\nbut what ' s it like to actually watch\nlove\n? this is a movie where non - professional actors and unsimulated sex scenes constantly encourage viewers to form a bond of alienation , instead of a bond of sympathy , with murphy . that may sound pretentious , but no\u00e9 knows exactly the type of effect he wants to achieve , and he mostly gets it . his biggest gamble is the use of first - time actors to elicit complex emotions . but he builds a complex relationship between murphy and his viewers throughout the movie , one that speaks louder than the unmoving , shrill line - readings from all three of the film ' s principle characters .\nsince the time he channelized his energy full time into marathi cinema , mahesh manjrekar has contributed a lot to the marathi cinema\u2019s resurgence . his productions ( mee shivaji raje bhosle boltoy , lalbaug - parel , shikshanachya aaicha gho and fakt ladh mhan ) have successfully touched the audience - chord with contemporary , socially relevant and thought - provoking themes . often he has erred on being too populist in his presentation with a definite eye on the box - office . but now that he has established his production house as the commercial powerhouse , he goes for the jugular and shows that he also has it in him to create a perfectly artistic period - film like kaaksprash .\nthe film ' s sex scenes are similarly mannered , mournful and distractingly graphic . but they ' re not just endurance tests , or frustrating slogs either . no\u00e9 wants you to see sex as a cocoon , so he genuinely tries to show you what attracts his young characters to each other . his earnest objectification of actors ' bodies is , in that sense , often compelling . we look at bodies in motion , and see them as body parts first , and then people trying to get lost in each other , to give each other pleasure , and to remain lost in sensations that will always remain mysterious to anyone who isn ' t experiencing them first - hand .\nlove\nmay not always be enjoyable , but it leaves an abiding mark .\nin\nlove ,\nmurphy essentially relives a past life . he is not however in control of his emotions , so his memories are fragmented , and out of order . he recalls electra because her mother calls him , giving him a sentimental oasis to cling to in order to escape his life with omi . still , in flashbacks , we see how murphy ' s relationship with omi ironically started because of electra , and how electra and murphy ' s relationship was always a co - dependent one . he , a film student with posters of\nsal\u00f3 ,\nand\nstory of o\nhanging ostentatiously on his bedroom wall , jealously obsesses over her . but eventually she , an aspiring painter , reveals that she ' s just as concerned with being protected . they form an unhealthy relationship that expresses itself through violent outbursts , and copious sex scenes that range from genuinely sexy to mechanically frantic . so while electra accuses murphy of being a bright young man who doesn ' t know what love is , she ' s just as impulsive .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nkavita ( shabana azmi ) is a depressed widow ; though her close friend manju ( sudha chopra ) urges her to step back into life and society , kavita spends her days at home , tending to a meticulous bonsai garden ( a metaphor for her stultifying confinement ) and singing sad songs to an audience of herself alone . when she accidentally meets anirudh ( naseeruddin shah ) , a bristly but charismatic blind man who runs a nearby school for blind children , kavita is moved to offer her time to the school , and begins reading to the boys and teaching them music and crafts . kavita is touched by the children , and begins to welcome warmth and happiness back into her life . she is also touched by anirudh ; a tender romance blossoms between them , and they become engaged to marry . the romance sours , though , when anirudh begins to fear that kavita is marrying him not for love , but only in search of a way to martyr herself , sacrificing her youth and independence to the care of a hapless handicapped man .\ntext ( c ) 2006 -

bechara image that hindi cinema wove around blind characters and in naseeruddin shah she has a malleable actor to realise her vision .\nthe narrative holds a soothing love story of a sighted woman and a blind man . it seems implausible but as sai sensitively unravels the layers one can figure that each one of us have handicaps . a young widow disabled by the society , kavita is struggling with her emotional vacuum when she comes across aniruddh parmar , the principal of a school for the blind . a beautiful relationship evolves which is more tactile than visual and the fragrance permeates through the celluloid . kavita buys saris that aniruddh could feel . a self made man , aniruddh allows kavita in his dark universe . however , soon self doubt creeps into the relationship as aniruddh fears dependence on kavita . aniruddh has been more than compensated by nature in other senses , including ego . is kavita trying to be a gandhari ? is she trying to justify her second love as a duty ? it leads to an intense curdling of emotions in the estuary between right and wrong .\nthere is a bigger picture as well which can be easily juxtaposed to the majority / minority question . in the outside word , blind people might be struggling to find feet but in the blind school it is the sighted who are yearning to find acceptance . sai presents it through the strand of pappu , the sighted boy among blind students . he longs for the attention of his teacher but her entire focus is on blind students . when pappu fights with a blind student , he closes his eyes to make it a fair fight but still fails to get the attention . similarly , kavita does everything to be part of aniruddh\u2019s universe but he considers it as a ritual to get over her past or as kavita\u2019s friend ( sudha chopra ) says he remains blind to her love .\nnaseer has often rated it as his most fulfilling performance . the shift in eyeballs , the arc that he creates with the stick , the way he holds the cup and the ungainly body posture , naseer almost becomes the character . in his autobiography , \u201cand then one day\u201d , naseer admits the thought of acting as a sightless person with children who were actually sightless took him as close to butterflies in the stomach as he had ever been . the key to play a blind character , he says , is that they directed their ears and not their eyes at the point they were addressing , and that caused their sometimes ungainly bodily posture , which , having absolutely no self consciousness , they were oblivious to . he imbibed it by following mittal for ten days . his education in aligarh muslim university also helped as it had one of the best schools for the blind in the country . he had observed a couple of blind classmates during college days . he tried different things to get the movement of a blind character but ultimately went by his imagination . \u201ci had always been able to shut out all aural stimuli whenever i felt like it , but shutting off all visual stimuli proved equally easy . \u201d\ncrime drama is one of the most popular genres on almost all tv and streaming networks these days . from sherlock to breaking bad , this genre has an almost cult following . take our quiz on crime drama shows to check your status in the cult !\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nanirudh parmar is blind , but he does not let this impairment bind him down . he runs a school for the blind as a principal . he meets with social worker , kavita . kavita is attracted to him , . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthe\nmost anticipated indian movies and shows\nwidget tracks the real -

up of the themes and techniques of film noir . there were a few noirs after it , but welles ' movie is really the end of the line . its decadence is damn near baudelairean ; it blooms gorgeously , a mutant flower in the ruins of a once great cinematic form . and it gives the era a fitting send -

year - old mattsson can surely look forward to several years of steady , gainful employment in the busy world of scandinavian crime cinema and television . as for gronlund , drifters represents a fairly promising debut in its clear - eyed scrutiny of a milieu most folk are happy to ignore , one in which sweden ' s much - praised social - work system is presented as playing a crucial \u2014 if not always totally effective \u2014 role . but there ' s also a certain amount of pill - sugaring in the slickness of staffan ovgard ' s cinematography and the doomy - moody stylizations of johan testad ' s intermittently - deployed score , betraying a certain degree of directorial inexperience and suggesting a lack of confidence in the material ' s considerable strengths .\na similar case inspired the 2003 film \u201c blind shaft , \u201d a chinese drama about two men who kill fellow miners for their compensation . in what seems to be an endless loop of life imitating art imitating life , some officials have said that the movie became an instruction manual for the recent killings .\n\u201csome viewers saw the film \u2018blind shaft\u2019 and found a way to get rich , \u201d the township government that oversees shisun village said in a notice posted outside the village committee office . \u201cthe culprits showed no compassion at all for life , and in particular kin and friends who were mentally impaired became assets used to make money . \u201d\nthe contents on the website may be accessed as view only and purely for non commercial personal , educational and cultural interest . under no circumstances shall any content be downloaded , transferred , copied or re -

( the victim\u2019s real identity , if it has been determined , has not been announced . ) another mine killing late that year in inner mongolia , a region of northern china , also left clues pointing to shisun village and nearby areas .\ndetectives descended on shisun and began questioning villagers . what they found were organized gangs devoted to serial killing for cash .\nget news and analysis from asia and around the world delivered to your inbox every day in the asian morning .\nfrom the new york times . you may opt - out at any time .\nyou agree to receive occasional updates and special offers for the new york times ' s products and services .\nsome participants recruited and killed the victims , having won their cooperation by promising good wages , friendship , even marriage . others posed as the grieving family members who turned up at the mine to demand compensation , the police have said .\nthe gangs disguised the identities of their victims , using stolen or bought identity papers that they persuaded or tricked victims into using , ensuring that their real families would not learn of their fate . most victims were quickly cremated by their fake families , making identification even harder and erasing clues about their deaths .\nthe other side of the equation that kept the business humming is the mine owners , who paid handsome sums to the impostor families in order to keep the deaths quiet . if a fatal accident were reported , the owners feared , safety regulators would shut down the mine for months while they investigated , several mine owners told the police after the killings came to light .\nif these killings sound like the plot of a thriller , that may be no coincidence .\nstill , many people have heard of the movie , and when the cases started coming to light , they were immediately described as \u201cblind shaft killings . \u201d\nsimilar cases first entered china\u2019s national consciousness in the late 1990s , when a gang with dozens of members was convicted of killing 28 migrant workers in shanxi province . those killings inspired the movie , mr . li said .\nsince then , the blind shaft scheme has been firmly implanted in the national psyche of a country peppered with thousands of notoriously dangerous mines . most likely , the shisun gang heard of it by word of mouth .\naccording to available court records , the pace of such killings appears to have picked up in recent years , possibly because compensation payments have grown . as china\u2019s regulators have clamped down on mine safety , driving down the number of accidents , the stricter regulation has perversely encouraged some mine operators to hide fatalities and pay off victims\u2019 families , increasing the incentive to carry out the crimes .\nthe recent killings have veered from the movie version in at least one conspicuous way . in the movie , the killers extorted 30 , 000 renminbi , or about $ 4 , 475 at today\u2019s rates , in hush money for one death . the shisun village gangs extracted payments of $ 75 , 000 to $ 120 , 000 from mine bosses , according to news reports .\nthe charges against the shisun suspects include homicide , faking accidents , swindling compensation , fraud and hiding crimes , though the police have not said publicly who is being charged with what .\nlong prison terms , and death sentences for the ringleaders , are likely , if similar cases are a guide . chinese courts almost invariably convict , and the suspects have not been allowed to publicly answer the charges .\nmr . wang was arrested early last year . his daughter , ms . hu , now acknowledges that he may have innocent blood on his hands .\n\u201ci think he did do something , but i don\u2019t blame him , \u201d she said . \u201che was doing it so that we could live a better life . \u201d\nwe\u2019re interested in your feedback on this page . tell us what you think .\naccessibility concerns ? email us at accessibility @ urltoken . we would love to hear from you .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nflim noir lived , loved , and thrived in the dark\u2014unlike many of its characters . but from the first flashing neon to the last crazy camera angle it was a director ' s medium .\nfemme fatale : peggy cummins and john dall shoot it out in joseph h . lewis ' gun crazy .

blowing visuals , redline never feels like it ' s heading into unnatural territory , in fact a lot of aspects about redline feel realistic and believable .\ntook a full seven years to create and used more than 100 , 000 frames in production . when finally complete , it made its debut at the 2009 locarno international film festival , more than a year before it came to japanese theaters .\nif tank girl and cowboy bebop had a movie baby that really liked racing , that baby would be redline . this 2009 science fiction anime was yakeshi koike ' s directorial debut . redline took an entire seven years to create and its release was delayed several times , but it was well worth the wait .\nmind game saw some success after its release and won best director , best film , and best script at the canadian fantasia festival in late 2005 . regardless of its initial success , the film still remains mostly unknown by anime fans and foreign film buffs alike .\noverall redline is an experience that i feel everyone should enjoy . it ' s a like a rush of energy that ' s exhilarating , fast -

watering , explosive experience that will suck you into a world which words barely do justice , this is the film you ' re after . but , more than a film , redline is an experience . every element works in melody , bouncing off and complementing one another , ultimately creating a tremendous overall work that is magical to behold , completely unlike any other anime production to date .\nredline ( 2009 ) \u2013 r : closing night title . the story of jp as he tries to make it into the biggest race in this , or any , galaxy . more than 100 , 000 hand -

provoking it doesn\u2019t have to be . i would like to think of it this way : would your rather watch film with an overly drawn out plot and character development which could be potentially tedious and slow down the fast - paced nature of the film ? or would you want to watch a film with a condensed plot that has enough story and personality to make you care about what you are watching ? personally i prefer the latter .\nthe five - minute trailer soon appeared on the internet and at successive tokyo international anime festivals . buzz and curiosity swelled . and after six years in development , redline finally had its world premiere this summer at the prestigious locarno international film festival in switzerland .\nnow onto the storytelling , which is what i believe redline could ' ve improved the most . let me explain why .\nthe people behind redline did a great job in keeping the personalities of the characters consistent and unique , except for sonoshee .\nunfortunately shares its name with a godawful film starring eddie griffin and nathan phillips but one of the most visual films i have ever seen .\nas a film about racing , the plot is fairly standard fare , but the larger than life presentation coupled with the sheer imagination and creativity that has gone into redline is second to none . the story -

the - heck moments . the middle section of the film is kind of slow moving , the section between the two races , there are some funny scenes and watching the characters interact is very fun . the story , in my opinion is the weakest part of the film , it ' s very predictable and there is little to no character development . now for the races and this is where the film really pays it ' s way , the animation is unbeatable with mind bending chases and physics , each crash , explosion , nirtos speed boost and hair pin turn is executed perfectly . you should defiantly watch this as it is a one of a kind film .\nthis is an unofficial site . all logos , images , video and audio clips pertaining to actors , characters and related indicia belong to their respective \u00a9 and \u2122 owners . all original content \u00a9 2009 -

minute runtime you are watching something very special , very different , and insanely exhilarating .\nsounds good on paper . but redline goes so overboard with its spectacle that it somehow becomes a bit dull . it\u2019s simply too much .\ngrave of the fireflies ( 1989 ) \u2013 ur : this heart -

candy visuals . with a sleek , exaggerated design and managing to capture an epic sense of speed , i was nearly exhausted by the flick ' s conclusion . the film tells the story of racecar driver\nsweet\njp ( he of the pronounced pompadour , which will come into play later in the film ) who is behind the\u2026\na story about the most popular racing event in the galaxy , the redline , and the various racers who compete in it .

luckily redline happens to have a brilliant soundtrack crafted by james shimoji , which compliments the visuals wonderfully . the soundtrack is mainly composed of techno - based music , but it works well with the action on - screen , its explosive , fast - paced and it sounds so good ! also personally i felt that redline ' s soundtrack really reminded me of the video - games f - zero gx and tatsunoko vs . capcom , both of which have great soundtracks with explosive music that sounds great on the highest volume level . i also have to note that the sound editing in this film is tackled perfectly as well .\nbadass driver : hell yes ! all redline racers would have to be if they want to take on roboworld ' s racetrack while fighting the military forces there .\ncar people : what is the average injection dosage for automotive nitrous systems ? i want to design one that uses whipped cream chargers so i can redline irl .\nthe tagline for redline during its release was ' witness the future of animation ' and it ' s safe to say the studio never doubted the creativity of the team behind the film . madhouse handled the production , with second key animation from gainax - the films full development totaled seven years , with over one hundred thousand hand - made drawings . the amount of action and detail on screen at any one time is so vast the film begs for repeat viewings . the animation - in a word - is mind - blowing . the film is full of colour , detail and beauty like no other , the art style is vigorous and unique , and the character designs are fresh , exuberant and interesting .\n( japan 2009 , 101 mins , dir : takeshi koike ) it is the biggest and most dangerous racing game of the universe and it\u2019s only held once every 5 years . over the top action and luscious colour , it is pure adrenaline from start to finish . whenever you think it can\u2019t get any louder or faster , it will prove you wrong .\nthe long - in - development film , which marks the feature directorial debut of the animatrix and samurai champloo animator takeshi koike , is set in the distant future , where daredevil driver jp risks life and limb for a shot at winning the titular redline , the biggest and deadliest race in the universe . think of it as an intergalactic speed racer .\ni firstly avoided this movie for a long time because its odd animation style threw me off , but after hearing great things about the film , i decided to give it a shot .\nit\u2019s a real pity seeing as the film is brilliantly animated and incredibly stylish . the film had a production history of 7 long years and you can tell when watching it that all that time was well spent in honing the stunning visuals to perfection . it\u2019s no exaggeration that this is a new benchmark in terms of pure animation . the film\u2019s many characters have detailed , instantly distinguishable models and are fluidly animated , machines roar and rush over surfaces with incredible speed and there\u2019s even the occasional use of deformed animation for stylish effect that\u2019s very effective . the visuals in redline are a labor of love and the best part is that it overwhelms the senses in a way that seems difficult ( perhaps impossible ) to replicate in another medium .\nthis is redline\u2019s second excess . there is simply too much going on in the third act . a big race alone would have made for a wonderfully thrilling climax but redline throws in an obligatory mafia subplot as well as the aforementioned evil government . what it all leads to ? stuff getting blown up and more stuff getting blown up .\nbut i feel that the main aspect that makes redline so great is the fluidity of the animation . the quality of the animation in this film is actually insane , with several sequences of high - octane action crafted with some beautiful choreography , nicely placed camera angles and great use of speed . everything moves in such a smooth manner , with no moments of slowdown or inconsistencies whatsoever . the film delivers an experience like no other in the animation department and really conveys on the concept of speed , pushing you to edge of your seat and beyond .\nthink it ' s a good idea to wake up funky boy , an extremely powerful bioweapon , hoping it ' ll help the redline racers in the fight against volton .\ni love redline . i also suggest takeshi koike ' s ( the director ) 4 part series\ntrava : fist planet\n( 2003 ) . it features two minor redline characters , trava and shinkai . trava 1 - 1 trava 1 - 2 trava 2 - 1 trava 2 - 2 trava 3 trava 4 - 1 trava 4 - 2\nthis film is so so incredible in animation , sound design , music , narrative and viewer engagement . it ' s an experience i recommend to absolutely everyone who likes the feeling of . . .\ntakeshi koike ' s debut feature ; seven years in the making . redline is an anime about racing , only presented like nothing seen before . produced by madhouse , with second key animation from gainax , music from james shimoji and a cast and crew pumped with everlasting potential , this is certainly one of - if not the - most adrenaline filled anime film to date .\nso sweet jp doesn\u2019t win the yellowline race , a contest that would qualify him to race in the ultra - deluxe redline race . but he gets invited to race at the redline anyway because this year , the redline is being hosted near roboworld , a planet populated by belligerent androids with funny hairstyles . the fact that this year ' s redline is being held near roboworld is an act of aggression but by who and for what reasons is unclear . nevertheless , two groups of drivers drop out because they don ' t want to die at the hands of pissed - off robots from outer space . so they ' re out and sweet jp , being too stupid to say no , is in .\nbadass boast : done by a few of the racers as you might expect , but machinehead has real grounds for it .\ni ' m the king of redline .\ncool redline stuff on this japanese website , including models of all the cars . really liked the semimaru driven by miki and todoroki , motherfuckers ! gumption ! gumption ! gumption !\ni do respect the art behind redline , but art does not make a good movie all by itself . i feel like we all should have learned that lesson from avatar .\nisn ' t it ? considering it ' s a japanese film . sure the dialog is dubbed for english but making lyrics follow the rhythm as well as make sense isn ' t an easy task .\nthis review will be looking at valuable traits that each anime film should have individually . primarily , we ' ll take a look into the animation , music , storytelling , and characters of the anime .\nnot to be confused with redline ( 2007 ) starring eddie griffin , which is a steaming pile of donkey droppings , unless you ' re 8 and then it ' s incredible .\n( japan 2009 , 72mins , dir : mizuho nishikubo ) this is the \u201canime documentary of swordfighting tactician musashi miyamoto . miyamoto is a legendary swordsman who pioneered the hy\u014dh\u014d niten ichi - ry\u016b style of two - sword fighting and wrote the book of five rings , a book that has been compared to sun tzu\u2019s the art of war for its insight on tactics and strategy . produced by mamoru oshii .\nbut redline is a unique , hallucinatory experience that demands to be seen on a big screen if only so you can feel the thunderous approach of futuristic race cars as they vie for rank . if you only see one movie this holiday season that makes your brains leak out your ears in drips and drabs while you babble incoherently like a baby , make it redline .\nthe neon genesis evangelion - era animation ! the hellsing - esque violence ! memories is the 1995 science fiction anthology creation produced by katsuhiro otomo , whose manga short stories series were the basis of the film .\nah redline , what words can i use to describe this epic adrenaline rush ? to be honest words are not enough , this is one of those films that you have to see to fully comprehend its greatness . however i am going to attempt to pass on my thoughts of this film in this review of what feel is one of the best anime films i have ever seen . period .\nif you only watch twelve minutes of anime this year , watch the first twelve minutes of redline . then once you ' re finished , do yourself a favour and watch the rest .\n: roboworld has one , and they use it twice : the first attempt , targeting the supergrass ship carrying the redline racers , fails thanks to lynchman and johnny - boya sabotaging the cannons .\njp and sonoshee ultimately win the redline race together , and the rest of the racers are quite satisfied with the competition . as an added extra , there ' s a big damn kiss shot .\nserial escalation : redline ( and its lesser qualifying round counterparts : blueline and yellowline ) has always been a no - holds barred combat racing competition that operates on the very fringes of legality , but using a mechanized hellhole like roboworld as the venue is most certainly not normal . two yellowline winners actually bow out because having to deal with the other cutthroat racers and environmental hazards is bad enough without an entire planet ' s army gunning for you . from what little can be seen from the previous three redline competitions in machinehead ' s promo , they were far tamer than the one shown at the climax of the film .\nnarrated by dustin hoffman , visual acoustics celebrates the life and career of julius shulman , the world\u2019s greatest architectural photographer , whose images brought modern architecture to the american mainstream . shulman , who passed away in 2009 , captured the work of nearly every modern and progressive architect since the 1930s including frank lloyd wright , richard neutra , john lautner and frank gehry . his images epitomized the singular beauty of southern california\u2019s modernist movement and brought its iconic structures to the attention of the general public . this unique film is both a testament to the evolution of modern architecture and a joyful portrait of the magnetic , whip - smart gentleman who chronicled it with his unforgettable images .\nredline captures the thrill of racing in a way only expert animation can . it\u2019s a fun ride that is worth taking , even if you end up skipping past weaker scenes to watch the race sequences .\nthe soundtrack of redline is done by some japanese named james shimoji . wait a second , james ! ? ! ? what kind of japanese name is that ? let ' s look into this guy :\nthis wouldn\u2019t have been so bad if there was a reason to care or even some sense of urgency but there isn\u2019t . all the cars race at impossible speeds and run just fine even after taking enough damage to wreck 10 spaceships . the result is that tension is basically nonexistent in this film . nobody of note dies and damage to the vehicle is shrugged off so easily that one gets the feeling the only thing at stake is the film\u2019s running time .\nulti\u00admately , because of the dis\u00adreg\u00adard for nar\u00adrat\u00adive , the movie doesn\u2019t hold much weight . hence i don\u2019t think it will make quite the splash some of the early reviews pre\u00addicted it would make . but red\u00adline is such an incred\u00adibly fun film that i find it hard to see how people won\u2019t get sucked in by it\u2019s atmo\u00adsphere and inten\u00adtions , grin\u00adning like a maniac right the way through the film . are you not enter\u00adtained ? is this not why you are here ?\nserious business : the redline race . justified because the betting and advertising make a ton of money , and according to lynchman ' there ' s enough money riding on this race to buy several planets ! '\nugliness is subjective , of course . to veteran film director , screenwriter and illustrator katsuhito ishii ( the taste of tea ) , koike is \u2018simply the best animator alive in japan today , bar none . \u2019 ishii and koike began collaborating a decade ago on the edgy , underground film , party 7 . \u2018i want to work with him every chance i get , \u2019 ishii says . \u2018he\u2019s the only animator who\u2019s able to realize and execute what i want to express . \u2019\nthe cat returns was one of very few studio ghibli films to not be directed by hayao miyazaki . the film succeeded immensely in japan and received good reviews in the us for its believable and relatable portrayal of a character that lacks confidence .\ni saw redline yesterday and since some jaded people in this forum won ' t watch something they don ' t know unless people are making buzz for it , or declare things that they haven ' t seen as bad and / or overhyped based on the fact that people they don ' t know make buzz for it , i thought i should make this thread . also , this film simply deserves its own thread . unfortunately , you can ' t really get it right now because for some odd reason the publishers are really fucking lazy about getting it out , despite it being such a great movie . it was originally finished in 2009 after 6 - 7 years of development . perhaps it doesn ' t have the appeal for the japanese audience since it is rather western . while it is licensed in the u . s . , even the japanese market only recently got a release on boo - ray and still nothing in sight in either the u . s . or europe for that matter . however , the development time that it had really shows . absolutely gorgeous animation . but perhaps i should say what this film is about : racing crazy cars against aliens in even more insane vehicles on absolutely demented planets , which governments want to kill you . that ' s it . not that deep , but the characters are well made and are being fleshed out during the film . the story isn ' t fantastic , but it serves the purpose and you won ' t really notice anyway since the animation alone should leave you speechless throughout the entire film . awo has a review of it , so if you don ' t want to take my word for it , take theirs . j9fhqvmzlc0\nif you ' re addicted to psychological thriller films , your standards are probably pretty high . the 1997 animated film perfect blue from satoshi kon is an old school psychological thriller in a vein similar to neon genesis evangelion and other classic frightening anime films .\nnot to be confused with the 2007 redline staring eddie griffin , this hand - drawn animated sci - fi thriller took seven years and 100 , 000 drawings to create . redline is the full - length feature debut of takeshi koike , known as the director of the \u201cworld record\u201d animatrix segment . it was produced by madhouse inc . studio , which has created some of the best anime ever ( including the work of satoshi kon and mamoru hosoda ) .\nmanga entertainment has provided spinoff online with an exclusive clip from redline , the acclaimed high - octane racing anime from madhouse , the studio behind paprika , the girl who leapt through time , marvel anime and supernatural : the animation .\nwhen it comes to the visual presentation of redline , words fail me . i mean seriously , no words can truly say how beautiful this film really is . japanese animation studio madhouse have crafted one of the most visually stunning animated films in existence , you really have to see it in action to comprehend its awesomeness . firstly there ' s the character design , from the human - based characters to all of the other alien races and cybernetic beings that reside within redline ' s world , the designs are diverse , unique and interesting . secondly you have the vehicles which are also fabulous , coming in many different shapes and sizes , from simple to completely crazy designs , with individual quirks and weapon arsenals to be admired . and lastly there ' s the locations of the film that vary from the rocky crayons where races are done to spaceships floating above planets , all of which have an incredible amount of detail that draws your eyes in especially on a large cinema screen .\njust remember that this film seems to have been made with the express goal of making you feel like you\u2019re high . it\u2019s got serious plot holes . it\u2019s not very clever . but it is novel enough to keep you wondering just what the hell you\u2019re watching .\nnot that everyone will love this film \u2013 it could be that some will be put off by its soundtrack , comprised almost purely of high - octane , scratch - mixed techno . it might not be to everyone ' s taste , but it fits the film ' s visuals beat - perfectly , and it ' s hard to imagine any other style of music doing the job as well . some critics are going to look at the film ' s minimal plot and decry it as \u2018style over content\u2019 , but to do so will be to reveal themselves as not even within driving distance of the point . redline is animation not only at its best , but also largely animation for animation ' s sake \u2013 not a story that had to be made in anime form to due to budgetary restrictions , but a story that could only exist in this medium . it is experimental , challenging and most importantly exhilarating in its artistic style in ways that most works could not even dream of reaching through script writing or thematic devices .\nredline doesn ' t boast much of a high - art story or clever dialogue , but the animation , stylistics and tone are art and visual stimuli at their very best .\n- r . l . shaffer ( ign )\nshed armor gain speed : the crab sonoshee is upgraded with a modular third turbine for the redline race which helps the vehicle go faster , but can also be detached in case it burns out or if it gets caught on something .\nthe garden of words focuses on people who don ' t quite have it together and how awkward the process of maturity can be . the film has a ton of stunning visuals that really paint the poetic beauty of rain and japanese gardens well . it has also been heavily praised for its beautiful animation and artwork , yet reviews of the film ' s plot and climax have been very mixed . even if you can ' t get down with the story , the dazzling artwork makes the garden of words well worth a watch .\ndead leaves deserves a lot more love than it has . the visuals alone are engaging and bright , with elements similar to flcl or jet set radio . the plot is meant to be goofy and weird . anything more would probably compromise how entertaining this film is .\nthere are aspects of the film which stumble and detract from the overall production\u2013specifically the main characters and their relationship . jp is overly cocky and unnecessarily rude to everyone he meets , and his romance with sonoshee never feels believable\u2013for as much screen time is devoted to it .\nhave you ever come across an unknown piece of film or television and absolutely fell in love with it ? anime is no exception . there are some crazy good films out there that few people have ever heard of and unfortunately don ' t get the recognition they deserve .\nslated for theatrical release in japan next april , redline is on a growing list of 21st century japanese - produced anime features\u2019like afro samurai and the omnibus collections the animatrix and batman : gotham knight \u2018that deliberately target western audiences . \u2018we really want non - japanese to see and appreciate this work , \u2019 says takeshi koike , redline \u2018s director and chief animator . \u2018we were thinking of people who don\u2019t normally enjoy anime or know anything about it when we came up with the ideas . \u2019\neames : the architect and the painter is the first film about charles and ray eames since their deaths and the only film to peer inside their collaboration , their marriage and the \u201crenaissance studio\u201d they created in a gritty ware - house in venice , ca . narrated by james franco , the film draws from a trove of archival material , primarily the stunning films and photographs produced in mind - boggling volume by charles , ray , and their staff during the hyper - creative forty years of the eames office . family mem - bers and design historians help guide the story , but it is in interviews with the junior designers swept into the \u201c24 - 7\u201d world of \u201cthe eamery , \u201d that a fascinatingly complex picture of this husband and wife creative team really emerges . slated to screen on pbs\u2019 american masters on dec . 19th .\n: the redline mothership ; with its loli princess at the helm , it just warps wherever the fuck it wants and makes a race track . how to achieve this ? well , first you go to your standard heavily defended fascist state and :\nfinally , onto the characters ! i find only 3 characters in the entire redline movie actually worth talking about . the small amount of trava fans will love the god - amazing cameo of trava and shinkai in both the bar and race though .\nthe action is , as you would imagine ; fast , fantastic and full of adrenaline . the drama is at times cheesy , but it fits well with the films over - the - top attitude . the crazy antics in redline make it clear the film isn ' t to be taken too seriously ; it isn ' t a production that sets out to challenge our minds , but rather an exhilarating thrill - ride that ' s sole purpose is to entertain . in that respect , the story delivers and then some .\ni can ' t remember how i originally came across this film , but i ' m so glad i did . i found the art style so appealing that it influenced my decision to become an animator . plot be damned , this is a beautiful work from an artistic standpoint\nas mentioned before , redline took about 7 freaking years to finish the animation for this story . that ' s more than 100 , 000 differently hand drawn frames all compiled into a little under 2 hours . yeah , it ' s pretty good .\nthis 2001 comedy - drama is another banger from director satoshi kon . the film is somewhat based on the lives of actresses setsuko hara and hideko takamine , who graced the japanese silver screen until their deaths in 2015 and 2010 , respectively . millennium actress is considered a postmodernist piece of art .\nall the redline racers manage to make it through the death trap race . in fact , the only casualties in the whole movie are big deyzuna , the mob boss and his two goons , and a bunch of roboworld mooks that get vaporized by funky boy .\nevery five years , a racing tournament\u2013the redline finals with the blueline and yellowline qualifiers\u2013pits the best racers in the galaxy against each other to determine who is the fastest driver . no rules exist , except to win at all costs , so weapons and cheating abound .\ni ' ve had the bluray of redline sitting on my hard drive for over a week now and i haven ' t gotten around to watching it yet . i need to watch the last part of roberta ' s blood trail first . also : manyuu haikenchou .\nout of the 40 + songs from the redline soundtrack , these are my two favorites . what some people like to do with their reviews is to observe each and every song from a movie soundtrack and if not all songs are eargasm worthy , they all like :\nfirst off , there are too many characters . the main characters are pretty forgettable and the only contestant who was somewhat cool was the established champion . the film further hurts itself by introducing subplots and characters who aren\u2019t related to the race . a sizable chunk of screentime is reserved for a b - story involving an evil government ( basically space - china ) that\u2019s out to stop the race and dig up some ancient weapons or something . ultimately they\u2019re only there to cause tons of explosions and other kinds of destruction . this in a film that\u2019s already filled to the brim with explosions and spectacular set pieces .\ncolorful has themes of suicide , reincarnation , and righting wrongs . makoto\u2019s character may be hard to understand to at times , with his violent mood swings and contempt for pretty much everyone , including his family , but his character development throughout the film is something to see . the ending is exceptional too .\nthe original 1998 version of appleseed received mixed reviews for its plot while the 2004 remake has been generally favored over the original for a more engaging story . however , if you love nostalgic anime and awkward english dubs , you ' ll probably be able to get down with the original film as well .\nvehicular combat : when the yellowline race is riddled with racers firing missiles at each other , you know it fits the trope . taken to the next level in the redline race , where the racers are practically fighting an all - out war against a planetary military superpower .\nholy fucking shit . redline is a movie where you think it can ' t possibly get better and the movie just punches you in the face and yells\nyou haven ' t seen anything yet , pussy !\nand gets infinitely better and 50000000000 % more badass .\nfor a start , redline looks like nothing you ' ve seen before . it ' s easy to see that koike is a huge fan of western graphic art , and has been influenced as much by french comic artist jean \u2018 moebius \u2019 giraud ( possibly best known for his design work on the fifth element ) , the us animated film heavy metal , cult uk sci -

3 : 22 ) . in the future , overcomers will have access to it again ( cf . rev 22 : 14 ) . god is going to provide the overcomers with intimate fellowship with christ in a place called the \u201cparadise of god . \u201d \u201cparadise\u201d is a persian word meaning \u201ca pleasure park , or garden . \u201d the greek old testament uses it to translate the garden of eden in genesis 2 : 8 - 10 . to the oriental mind it meant the sum of blessedness . christ , as the \u201clast adam , \u201d is the restorer of paradise lost ( rev 22 : 1 - 4 , and 14 ) .\nbut i\u2019ll bet you already know this . the circumstances and bizarre carriage of justice that swirled around the \u201cwest memphis three\u201d prisoners became the stuff of outsider outrage when joe berlinger and bruce sinofsky\u2019s first documentary about the murders , \u201c paradise lost : the child murders at robin hood hills , \u201d aired on hbo in 1996 .\nfilmmaker joe berlinger told mtv news that he has uncovered stunning new evidence of the innocence of the\nwest memphis three ,\nwhich will be included in the 90 - minute film .\nparadise lost revisited\nwon ' t turn up on hbo until late this year , but the original is now available on videocassette .\n\u201cparadise lost 3\u201d is perhaps the most interesting and well - made film of the trilogy , not only because of its mixed - blessing epilogue , in which echols , baldwin and misskelley were freed from prison with an alford plea deal last august . agreeing to the plea technically released them , but it left the case unsolved .\n14 the false teachers undoubtedly claimed to be functional apostles ( cf . 2 cor 11 : 13 ) rather than official apostles ( acts 1 : 15 - 26 ) .\nin their riveting \u201cparadise lost 3 : purgatory , \u201d premiering thursday night on hbo , berlinger and sinofsky return to west memphis to finish what has undeniably become a life\u2019s work . another decade has passed . the teens have aged in prison , now approaching their 40s , while appeal after appeal was denied by the judge who oversaw their trial .\nindeed , the case continues to pique interest ; another documentary from a different director , produced by \u201c lord of the rings \u201d director peter jackson , is coming soon , claiming to have details unexplored by \u201cparadise lost . \u201d the case has become a symbol , resonating with anyone who grew up in a small town and liked to wear black clothing or who felt ostracized .\nnevertheless , in the years after its premiere , paradise lost\u2019s story continued to grow , as advocacy groups began looking into the west memphis three case . meanwhile , it won an emmy for outstanding informational programming in 1997 , and it earned nominations for awards at sundance and the independent spirit awards . but something didn\u2019t sit well with the filmmakers \u2013 they thought they should do more .\nmetallica was so moved by the story that they allowed their music to be used in the first film , back in the days before\nmission impossible 2\nand\nold school ,\nwhen they regularly blocked hollywood access to their catalog . the relationship they developed with the filmmakers resulted in the acclaimed\nmetallica : some kind of monster\nfilm .\nmetallica is part and parcel to this story ,\nberlinger said .\nthe band is very proud of their association with the ' paradise lost ' movie , and i would certainly expect that to continue .\nechols was 18 when he was arrested . he is now in his 30s . and , get this \u2014 he\u2019s now married . lorri davis saw paradise lost at moma\u2019s new directors festival in 1996 and was so deeply moved by it , she began writing to echols . eventually , she began talking with him on the phone , and then moved near his prison , to little rock , arkansas .\nit is interesting to note that the first four churches in this list of seven dealt with false teachers ( 2 : 2 , 6 , 9 , 14 - 15 , 20 ) . this is why the pastoral epistles ( 1 - 2 timothy and titus ) challenge pastors to \u201cteach\u201d their congregations . ultimately , each one of us must know the truth so that we can protect our family and friends from unbiblical doctrine . how well do you think our church is doing in this area ? as elders , pastors , small group leaders , and sunday school teachers , are we guarding the flock from false teachers ?\nsatan returns to earth , and enters a serpent . finding eve alone he induces her to eat the fruit of the forbidden tree . adam , resigned to join in her fate , eats also . their innocence is lost and they become aware of their nakedness . in shame and despair , they become hostile to each other . the son of god descends to earth to judge the sinners , mercifully delaying their sentence of death . sin and death , sensing satan ' s success , build a highway to earth , their new home . upon his return to hell , instead of a celebration of victory , satan and his crew are turned into serpents as punishment . adam reconciles with eve . god sends michael to expel the pair from paradise , but first to reveal to adam future events resulting from his sin . adam is saddened by these visions , but ultimately revived by revelations of the future coming of the savior of mankind . in sadness , mitigated with hope , adam and eve are sent away from the garden of paradise .\n3 other views include ( 1 ) human messengers i . e . , pastor / teachers or elders ;

4 : 4 ; 5 : 4 - 5 ) . faith , not faithfulness is the primary focus point in this position . however , in 1 john 2 : 13 and 4 : 4 , john wrote that his readers had overcome the world , not that all christians are overcomers . in 1 john 5 : 4 - 5 , he wrote that only believers in christ can overcome the world , not that every believer in christ does overcome the world . moreover , the letters in revelation 2 and 3 present very different contexts than that of 1 john 5 . in each of the seven usages , there is a conditional aspect attached to overcoming ( esp . 2 : 26 ) .\nafter it aired on hbo in june 1996 , paradise lost became one of the most catalytic documentaries ever produced . it presented the story objectively , showing the trial and reactions from the victims\u2019 family members , allowing viewers to make up their own minds about what happened . and it subsequently inspired a movement among viewers who concluded that the accused \u2013 who went on to become known as the west memphis three \u2013 had , in fact , been wrongly convicted .\nthe film ruminates in many morose ways on the passage of time and the perniciousness of set minds while acknowledging the first two films\u2019 role in bringing attention to the case . had it not been for \u201cparadise lost , \u201d the plight of the west memphis three might never have become a celebrity cause , attracting the moral and financial support of johnny depp and pearl jam\u2019s eddie vedder , among others , as well as the determined work of high - priced defense attorneys and legal experts .\nnearly everything has changed since 1993 . of the murdered boys\u2019 parents and stepparents , one mother has died . a father whose hatred for the accused was so memorably aflame in the first film has completely changed his mind and now publicly proclaims the men\u2019s innocence . the attention from the documentaries and celebrity influence has soured local perceptions of the facts in the case . though it seeks to right a series of wrongs , \u201cparadise lost\u201d remains a fascinating study in the power of media and suggestion .\none thing he won\u2019t be doing anytime soon , though , is making a fourth paradise lost . the west memphis three deserve their privacy now , he says , but he continues to monitor their story . there is only one situation that would bring him back to west memphis . \u201cthe state of arkansas was incredibly cowardly to do an alford plea , \u201d he says . \u201ci would only make another film if i thought it would result in their exoneration . that\u2019s what they deserve . \u201d\n3 . the commendation ( 2 : 2 - 3 ) . jesus is in the business of appraising his church and jesus always commends his church first , if he can . jesus commends the church in ephesus with the words : \u201ci know\u201d ( oida ) . in each message to the seven churches , jesus states , \u201ci know . \u201d 10 since this \u201ci know\u201d statement is present in each of jesus\u2019 messages , we should sense the significance of these words . not only does this statement point to jesus\u2019 omniscience , it also shows us his interest in all that we do and experience . he is the great evaluator and one day he will examine our deeds ( 1 cor 3 : 12 - 15 ; 2 cor 5 : 9 - 10 ) . 11\n6 . the challenge ( 2 : 7b ) . jesus declares , \u201cto him who overcomes , i will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of god . \u201d before we go any further we must determine who is this one who \u201covercomes . \u201d many assume that the overcomer is a reference to all christians . 28 interpreters who hold this view appeal to 1 john 2 : 13 ; 4 : 4 ; and 5 : 4 - 5 where john referred to his readers as overcomers . however , in 1 john 2 : 13 and 4 : 4 , john said his readers had overcome the world , not that all christians are overcomers . in 1 john 5 : 4 - 5 , he wrote that only believers in christ can overcome the world , not that every believer in christ does overcome the world . in this context , it is clear that john is using this term differently . in each of the seven usages , there is a conditional aspect attached to overcoming .\n31 it is probably not just one tree , but a collective term referring to a whole row of trees that exist between the river and the avenue described in rev 22 . this is all a part of the beautiful park or paradise of god .\n2 . the character ( 2 : 1b ) . john records the words of \u201cthe one who holds the seven stars in his right hand . \u201d this phrase is a reference to the sovereign authority and control of jesus christ . 9 jesus holds his angels in his right hand ( i . e . , the place of honor and power ) . this phrase about jesus\u2019 character and the others contained in the seven letters are all taken from john\u2019s vision of the glorified christ ( rev 1 : 12 - 20 ) .\nduring the making of the original paradise lost , mark byers , the father of one of the dead boys , presented the filmmakers with a gift \u2013 a pocket knife speckled with dried blood . berlinger and sinofsky turned the knife over to the authorities as possible evidence in the robin hood hills killings . since then , a shroud of doubt has hung over byers\u2019s head . many believe him to be involved in the murder of the three boys , and suspicions were heightened by the mysterious death of his wife in 1996 .\n3 . to him who overcomes , to him i will give some of the hidden manna , and i will give him a white stone , and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it ( 2 : 17 ) .\n4 . the correction ( 2 : 4 - 5 ) . after praising their strengths , jesus told the ephesians in 2 : 4 , \u201cbut i have this against you . \u201d this is a frightening statement . most of us don\u2019t like when we know someone has something against us . it makes us uncomfortable . it disturbs us . but how would you feel if you knew that jesus christ had something against you ? yikes ! this should prompt us to ask , \u201cjesus , do you have something against me ? have i grieved you ? \u201d\nthree steps to return to your first love ( 2 : 5 ) : \u201ctherefore remember from where you have fallen , and repent and do the deeds you did at first ; or else i am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place\u2014unless you repent . \u201d\nthis particular letter is written \u201cto the angel of the church in ephesus . \u201d the church in ephesus was founded by the apostle paul , 5 the believers were discipled by aquila and priscilla , taught by apollos , 6 pastored by timothy ( 1 tim 1 : 3 ) , and instructed by the apostle paul . either directly or indirectly , ephesus had been the recipient of eight new testament books : the gospel of john , ephesians , 7 1 and 2 timothy , 1 , 2 , and 3 john , and revelation . 8 ephesus was an influential city in the early church .\nthe identity of the \u201covercomer\u201d has troubled bible students throughout church history ( rev 2 : 7 ; 11 , 17 , 26 - 28 ; 3 : 5 , 12 , 21 ) . this has led to four views . view # 1 : the one who fails to overcome loses his / her salvation ( rev 2 : 11 ; 3 : 5 ) . this view must be dismissed because it contradicts the clear teaching of scripture ( e . g . , john 5 : 24 ; 10 : 28 - 29 ; rom 8 : 38 - 39 ; eph 2 : 8 - 9 ) . paul also writes to the believers at thessalonica : \u201cwhether we wake or sleep [ i . e . , whether we are morally alert or spiritually slothful ] , we should live together with him\u201d ( 1 thess 5 : 10 ) . this unconditional promise further solidifies the believer\u2019s security .\nhaving already read the book on this terrible crime i just had to obtain the dvd and i just could not stop watching it ( 5 hours long ) . if you are a true crime fan this is a must see , and if you are a believer in the death penalty it ' s a must see , however i will not go into the detail of the case only to say part 3 of lost paradise is due out in the usa on the 14th august but no release date for the uk yet , i will be one of the first to order it when available .\nrevelations makes no bones about its agenda \u2013 clearly , berlinger and sinofsky believe echols and his associates to be innocent ( or at the very least , the victims of an unfair trial ) . as far as the guilt or innocence of mark byers is concerned , the filmmakers prove more than willing to give him enough rope to hang himself . viewers of the film inclined to give byers the benefit of the doubt will find him sabotaging himself at every turn . whether he committed the murders remains an open question by the documentary\u2019s end , but one thing is for sure : if creepiness was a crime , mark byers would be on death row today .\nafter finding the first one absolutely riviting and cause for thought and discussion , we looked foward to paradise lost 2 with some anticipation . it was too long for the little new information it contained . it spent way too much time on john byers with no payoff . only after reading the urltoken website , we learned that he and his wife had quite a history of crime , drugs and abuse ; this should have been brought much more in the movie instead of his irritable rantings . the end of the movie should have tied up the loose ends better so you could come away with a good understanding of where things stood . i thought the\nsupport group\nlooked more like groupies for echols which was pretty wierd . they weren ' t much more coherent and logical than byers in many ways . i don ' t think the bite marks ruled out the boys at all ; only that they didn ' t bite ! @\nwhile we know next to nothing about their doctrine , we can be more certain of their practices . 24 the key is the practices linked with balaam ( 2 : 14 - 15 ) and jezebel ( 2 : 20 - 23 ) . the two sins found in both are idolatry and immorality . 25 the nicolaitans were a sect of loose - living believers who had perverted and compromised the faith and were bad witnesses to the truth of the gospel . they probably justified themselves with arguments about being \u201csaved by grace\u201d while they flagrantly lived in sin . the church at ephesus took a stand against these men and their teachings and was commended for doing so .\none person who did not feel so effusively about the film was barry scheck , a cofounder of the innocence project , an organization that seeks to overturn wrongful convictions through dna testing and criminal justice system reform . \u201cat the end of one screening , he stood up and said paradise lost was a dangerous film , \u201d berlinger says . \u201che felt that by allowing filmmakers in on the legal process and compromising client - attorney privilege , the film would be very damaging because the footage could be subpoenaed . he and i have since made nice in recent years and have a good relationship . he [ now ] sees the value of the film . \u201d\nin 2 : 3 , jesus again declares , \u201cand you have perseverance and have endured for my names sake , and have not grown weary . \u201d some 40 years had passed since this church was founded . two generations had risen up in the history of this church . all the while ephesus had remained faithful to jesus christ .\nand what of those poor little boys ? ( caution : \u201cparadise lost 3\u201d unflinchingly provides police footage of the crime scene . ) who killed them ? the film turns its attention to claims of dna evidence that links one boy\u2019s stepfather to the crime \u2014 a claim repeated at a rally by dixie chicks singer natalie maines . the stepfather , terry hobbs , sued maines for defamation , which may have been a miscalculation on his part : his videotaped deposition by maines\u2019s attorney opens a door from which a forgotten chill blows in , renewing a viewer\u2019s fascination once more . hobbs , who is interviewed in the film , has denied having any part in the killings .\n\u201ci\u2019ve done 13 or 14 feature documentaries , and no film has generated more intense and emotionally laden q & a\u2019s after screenings as paradise lost , \u201d berlinger says . \u201cwhen it got its screening at new film series at the museum of modern art , a brooklyn architect named lorri davis reluctantly attended at the insistence of her friends . she became so mesmerized that she came up to me after and asked many more questions . then she decided to reach out to damien on death row and they fell in love ; she ended up marrying him . lorri worked tirelessly on his appeal and one of the main reasons echols\u2019 case was not forgotten was because she took up the cause . \u201d\nperhaps the most striking aspect of paradise lost some two decades later is how plainly it presents the story . it opens with the parents of the victims condemning the teens and includes footage of a press conference where the west memphis chief inspector claimed his case against the teens was , on a scale of one to 10 , a solid 11 . one of the mothers says she figured the teens worshipped satan : \u201cjust look at the freaks , \u201d she said . but by the time the accused \u2013 baldwin , echols and jessie miskelley , jr . , the last of whom has an iq of 72 and implicated the others in a confession \u2013 appear onscreen , every aspect of the case against them seems highly questionable .\nstep 1 : remember . jesus says , \u201ctherefore remember from where you have fallen . \u201d the word \u201ctherefore\u201d refers back to a loss of love for the lord jesus ( 2 : 4 ) . they fell from a deep love for the lord . they fell from fellowship with him . they fell from all heart to all head . they lost warm love for the lord . the greek word translated \u201cfallen\u201d 21 means that they were in a state of spiritual decline . this was more than an occasional slip . jesus exhorts the ephesians to \u201cremember\u201d from where they have fallen . this is critical . if we remember the love we initially had for god\u2019s word , prayer , fellowship , and witnessing , we will be inspired to action .\n24 scholars differ on their understanding of this group . some think they were the followers of nicolas according to early church fathers ( cf . acts 6 : 5 ) . since their heresy seems to be associated with the doctrine of balaam in rev 2 : 14 - 15 , some believe this was an antinomian sect that advocated license in matters of christian conduct , including free love .\n4 . he who overcomes , and he who keeps my deeds until the end , to him i will give authority over the nations ; and he shall rule them with a rod of iron , as the vessels of the potter are broken to pieces , as i also have received authority from my father ; and i will give him the morning star ( 2 : 26 - 28 ) .\n2 . the warnings and exhortations given to the above churches apply to us today . though each letter is written to a specific church , all seven letters close with the words , \u201che who has an ear , let him hear what the spirit says to the churches . \u201d it is important to note , the word \u201cchurches\u201d ( ekklesiais ) is plural . john is writing for all who will listen !\nstep 3 : redo . jesus urges the ephesians to \u201cdo the deeds you did at first . \u201d the context indicates that by first works jesus wants this church to get back to their \u201cfirst love\u201d for him , the love they had when they first became christians ( 2 : 4 ) . james 4 : 8 expresses this thought in his epistle when he writes , \u201cdraw near to god and he will draw near to you . \u201d\n1 . the commission ( 2 : 1a ) . \u201cto the angel of the church in ephesus write . \u201d all seven churches are addressed \u201cto the angel of the church in . \u201d the term \u201cangel\u201d 3 refers to one of god\u2019s angelic creatures . some find it strange that angels are the recipients of these seven letters . yet eph 3 : 10 informs us that what is taking place in the church is for the benefit of teaching the angels . 4\nview # 4 : the overcomer refers to faithful believers rewarded for their perseverance . according to this view , the promises of rewards are given to believers to encourage them to overcome trials through faithfulness ( luke 19 : 11 - 26 ; rom 14 : 10 - 12 ; 1 cor 3 : 11 - 15 ; 9 : 27 ; 2 cor 5 : 10 ) . the word translated \u201covercome\u201d ( nikao ) means \u201cto be victorious in a contest or conflict . \u201d hence , \u201covercomers\u201d are conquerors or victors . the context of revelation 2 - 3 restricts the meaning of the overcomer from all believers ( \u201cthem\u201d ) to a faithful believer ( \u201che\u201d ) who overcomes specific conflicts ( see john 16 : 33 ) . the primary weakness with this view is that some of the rewards can be difficult to interpret as something other than salvation . nonetheless , this view is the most convincing and will be presented throughout this series .\nwhat if jesus christ sent you and your church some mail ? would you be excited to read it ? you bet you would ! well , jesus has sent you some mail . in fact , he has written you seven different letters . they are addressed to \u201che who has an ear , let him hear what the spirit says to the churches . \u201d 2 the first of these seven letters is written to the church in ephesus . let\u2019s read the contents of this letter .\n5 he stayed in ephesus longer than any other city ( acts 20 : 31 ) . paul had evangelized it and used it as a base of operations for at least three years ( acts 18 : 19 - 21 ; 19 ; 1 cor 16 : 8 ) . he was so successful in his ministry there that his ministry turned the city upside down ( acts 19 : 11 - 41 ) . the silversmiths launched a riot because they lost their business of making shrines of artemis .\nstep 2 : repent . the second step to return to your first love is to \u201crepent . \u201d the english word \u201crepent\u201d conveys the idea of sorrow or contrition . the greek word does not carry that idea ; it is more a total change of thought and behavior . it conveys both ideas of attitude and behavior depending on the context . \u201crepent\u201d means to change one\u2019s thinking . it is clearly connected with changed behavior , as seen in the following phrase \u201cand do the deeds you did at first . \u201d\nthe apostle john wrote seven letters to seven historical churches . each dealt with actual conditions of church life in john\u2019s day . yet , while these letters may be historic , they are nonetheless contemporary commentaries on the state of today\u2019s church . any reader of revelation 2 - 3 immediately notices the prophetic similarities between the church of the first century and the church of the 21 st century . this has led some interpreters to suggest that these seven churches are representative of the whole of church history . the following is an example :\nin this context , the one who overcomes by maintaining his first love is able to \u201ceat of the tree of life . \u201d eating with someone implies fellowship ; the one who overcomes , then , will fellowship with his savior . it refers to experiencing the joy of reward in heaven for overcoming in spiritual battles and remaining intimate with christ through it all . the term \u201ctree of life\u201d is mentioned 11 times in three books of the bible . the first time is in genesis 2 : 9 where we are told that god planted in the garden of eden , the tree of life , next to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil . after they sinned by eating from the second tree , adam and eve were banished from the tree of life , lest they live forever in their fallen state . the term is used in a figurative sense in the book of proverbs . 29 but in revelation 22 : 2 , the reference seems to revert to a literal tree , 30 or better , a number of trees , 31 in the new jerusalem , bearing 12 crops of fruit , one each month , bringing healing to the nations .\nit would take more than a decade from the premiere of that film , though , before the three would be released . on august 19th , after numerous appeals , echols , baldwin and miskelley agreed to an alford plea , wherein a defendant asserts his or her innocence while pleading guilty . paradise 3 : purgatory traces the path to this moment , showing how byers had become a supporter of the three , as well as presenting speculation that one of the other stepfathers could have been involved in the murders and alleging jury misconduct . it was nominated for an oscar .\n30 in the book of rev , the tree of life is literal . it is not just a symbol for eternal life or for the person of christ . in rev 21 : 1 - 22 : 5 , john is describing the eternal state , which includes the new heaven and the new earth with the new jerusalem , a literal place with some 25 verses devoted to its description . it is not a symbol . the tree of life in eden and the tree of life in the new jerusalem ( rev 22 : 2 , 14 , 19 ) appear to be literal trees .\nthat\u2019s not good enough for jesus either ! he wants a relationship , not a performance . jesus says , \u201cyou\u2019ve lost that loving feeling . \u201d is this serious ? absolutely : jesus said that the greatest commandment is to love god ( matt 22 : 37 - 39 ) . we must love him with all of our heart , soul , mind , and strength . if we fail to love him , we disobey the greatest commandment . it doesn\u2019t matter what else we obey , if we fail to keep the highest commandment . we have struck out ! leaving our first love is the greatest sin !\nthe ephesians distanced themselves from their first love . they no longer loved the lord jesus as they did when they first came to christ . they not only took their eyes off the lord but they lost fellowship with him . the principle is that regardless of how much of the bible we may know , how much we serve him , or how many past victories we have , we cannot walk with the lord without loving him . it is significant that of all the sins jesus points out in these seven , the first sin he names is the one that grieves him most : a loss of affection for him . our god is a jealous lover .\n28 some argue that the seven letters are written to churches that have a mixture of both christians and non - christians . however , in a biblical sense churches never contain unbelievers . churches are not buildings or social gatherings . churches are assemblies of believers . since the lord was writing to churches , he was writing exclusively to believers . the word faith only occurs twice in these letters ( rev 2 : 13 , 19 ) and in both cases it is affirming the fact that the readers already have faith , not calling them to believe . surely if these seven letters were addressed to unbelievers , we would find repeated calls to trust in christ . instead , we find none .\nin high school , i used to wear pink shirts . don\u2019t ask me why . i just liked pink at that time . i would often say , \u201creal men can wear pink\u201d ( modestly implying that i was a \u201creal man\u201d ) . over the course of time , i changed my mind regarding my pink preference . this led me to no longer purchase pink shirts . in this case , the meaning of \u201crepent\u201d is clear : change your attitude toward your love for christ ( 2 : 4 ) . reverse your lackluster love into a burning love for the lord jesus . think about the depth of love you have for him . change your apathetic love to an appreciating love for him .\ntom roston is a guest columnist for pov ' s documentary blog . he is a former premiere magazine senior editor , who graduated from brown university and started his career in journalism at the nation and then vanity fair . tom ' s freelance work has appeared in the new york times , the guardian , the los angeles times , the hollywood reporter and

godfrey reggio ; 2 . hoop dreams by steve james ; 3 . stories we tell by sarah polley ; 4 . crumb by terry zwigoff ; 5 . montage of heck by brett morgen\nwhat about this church did jesus know ? jesus recognized their \u201cdeeds , toil , and perseverance\u201d ( 2 : 2a ) . these three words build upon one another . the word \u201cdeeds\u201d ( erga ) refers to any action , task , or service . the word \u201ctoil\u201d ( kopos ) is a word that means \u201cto labor to the point of weariness . \u201d in other words , \u201cdeeds done all out\u201d ! this word stresses the depth or degree of their labor for the lord . the final word \u201cperseverance\u201d ( hupomone ) refers to the capacity or ability to endure , to remain under pressure or pain , over the long haul . this word stressed the extent of their labor ( see 1 cor 15 : 58 ) . 12\nsatan gains entrance into the garden of eden , where he finds adam and eve and becomes jealous of them . he overhears them speak of god ' s commandment that they should not eat the forbidden fruit . uriel warns gabriel and his angels , who are guarding the gate of paradise , of satan ' s presence . satan is apprehended by them and banished from eden . god sends raphael to warn adam and eve about satan . raphael recounts to them how jealousy against the son of god led a once favored angel to wage war against god in heaven , and how the son , messiah , cast him and his followers into hell . he relates how the world was created so mankind could one day replace the fallen angels in heaven .\nthe ephesian church was an extremely orthodox church . they were strong in both doctrine and the work of the ministry . in 2 : 2b , jesus says , \u201cyou cannot endure evil men , and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles , and they are not , and you found them to be false . \u201d the church at ephesus refused to compromise their moral or doctrinal purity . 13 apostles may be understood here as almost equivalent to our modern term missionaries . the church had \u201cput to the test\u201d ( cf . 1 john 4 : 1 ) these visiting ministers and their doctrinal claims and had found them to be false . 14 they called a spade a spade . they could smell a heretic a mile off because they knew god\u2019s word .\njesus returns with another word of praise : \u201cyet this you do have , that you hate the deeds of the nicolaitans , which i also hate\u201d ( 2 : 6 ) . though they had left their first love they had not left their former hatred for evil . jesus concludes by telling them to remain in the battle against sin . they are to remain true to the faith and resist false teaching . note how sensitive jesus\u2019 heart is toward his church . he guards against deflating them by concluding with a note of praise . \u201cyou hate the deeds of the nicolaitans , which i also hate . \u201d in essence , jesus is saying , \u201cwe\u2019re on the same team . we are a lot alike . we both hate the deeds of the nicolatians . keep at it ! \u201d\nthe greek word translated \u201cleft\u201d ( aphiemi ) means \u201cto depart , leave alone , forsake , and neglect . \u201d it can also be used of divorce , 18 so the imagery here is very strong . when you lose your car keys , where are they ? when you lose your sun glasses , where are they ? if you think real hard about it , when you lose your car keys or your sunglasses , they\u2019re right where you left them ! and that\u2019s the way it is with your first love for god . if you\u2019ve lost it , guess where it is . it\u2019s wherever you left it . jesus says , go back and find it . wherever it is , it\u2019s still there because god hasn\u2019t moved ! he\u2019s waiting for you to come back .\nokay . mark byers is a wing - nut . so what . documentary # 1 : documents a witch hunt . no question . i ' m totally on board . new trial - let ' s go . documentary # 2 : perpetrates a witch hunt . drips with unintentional irony . that people can be put away for life and lethal injection based on no physical evidence or common sense even is chilling . that a documentary ( and the convicted themselves ) can then come along and blithely point fingers , also with no evidence , is no less chilling . and who are these internet activist people ? do they have jobs or what ? they are as asinine and loopy as byers . the filmmakers should have just left it at film # 1 and been done with it . but the awards and following went to their heads and they decided to crusade . ugh .\n5 . the call ( 2 : 7a ) . jesus says , \u201che who has an ear , let him hear what the spirit says to the churches . \u201d 26 note the change from an appeal to the individual , \u201che who has an ear , \u201d to the plural , \u201cwhat the spirit says to the churches . \u201d this change broadens the appeal of each message to all the churches because the messages are representative and applicable to all of us . here , the spirit of god , who is the spirit of truth and the author and teacher of scripture , is calling on us to evaluate our openness to respond to the things that need to be learned and applied in these messages . in other words , he is saying , \u201cit is not enough to have good intentions . you must follow through ! \u201d to \u201chear what the spirit says\u201d means to really listen and respond to what the spirit says .

it ' s very entertaining ! lorre is great as the arrogant impoverished writer who sees himself as a ' superman ' like his hero napoleon but is ultimately undone by his own conscience . of course no film will entirely live up to a great novel and this is an oversimplified version to be sure ; the odd mix of accents barely acknowledge the russian setting . it ' s a hollywood bastardization of dostoyevsky so be prepared but definitely worth it for lorre fans\nstudent raskolnikow , who has written an article about laws and crime , proposing the thesis , that un - ordinary people can commit crimes if their actions are necessary for the benifit of mankind , murders an old woman , who operates a crooked loaning house , as well as her sister , who made the mistake of visiting her at the wrong time . he is suspected of the crime , but somebody else confesses to the murder .\nesta olvidada a la vez de rara obra de arte del aleman wiene tiene todos los ingredientes para considerarla como una de las mas fuertes muestras del expresionismo filmico aleman . el dramatismo interpretativo del elenco y los alucinantes decorados , heredados directamente de su mas reconocida obra\nel gabinete del dr , caligari\nhacen de este film algo memorable . lamentablemente la copia en dvd carece de nitidez y tristemente esta en muy mal estado . algunas escenas simplemente se pierden en la obscuridad por el deterioro que los a\u00f1os le han causado . a pesar de aquello , y si eres un fanatico el cine silente , esta pelicula es algo que debes admirar .\nthe cabinet of dr caligari is almost unique among silent ' classics ' in that nobody attributes its qualities to its director ; robert wiene has never seemed more than a peripheral figure , and his later attempts to repeat his one - off success never won him any real reputation . he both directed and scripted this adaptation of dostoevsky ' s crime and punishment , and seems to have had grandiose artistic ambitions for the project , drawing his cast from stanislavsky ' s moscow art theatre , and commissioning ' expressionist ' sets from andrei andreiev . the result poses fascinating questions . was the disjunction between the naturalistic acting and the artificial decor deliberate , or simply inept ? and was the ' expressionism ' ( the sets and a scattering of dream sequences ) an attempt to visualise the moral / theological dimension of the novel , or simply a matter of fashion ? there are no ready answers , but the film certainly sustains the questions .\nreferences : bard\u00e8che - history p . 193 ; shipman - cinema p . 80 : filmmuseumnews - 1 .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nhotel transylvania 3 : summer vacation stars plan their dream summer getaways to some memorable movie settings .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ?

belsen during the war . emaciated bodies lay everywhere . more than 10 , 000 were to die from disease and illness following liberation .\ntom hopkinson said that out of all the photographers the writers at picture post asked to work with , bert\u2019s name nearly always came first .\nnot content with his own developer hardy took a soldering iron to another leica and customised the shutter so that it could synchronise with flash at 1000th of a second . bert was no fool . even today\u2019s lecia m7 cannot achieve flash synchronisation at such a high speed without an adaptor .\nin 1938 hardy became one of the first photographers to use a leica 35mm camera . after working as a freelance until being recruited by tom hopkinson , the editor of picture post . hardy became famous for his photographs of the blitz and in 1942 was drafted into an army photographic unit .\nso bert hid his leica beneath an oversized dinner jacket and watched from the pavement as a number of french dignitaries arrived wearing grand plumed hats .\nhardy\u2019s original contact sheets and negatives were meticulously researched to uncover work which was never published in the magazine and which may never have been printed before . the main exhibition reveals the extraordinary versatility expected of picture post photographers . the final section showcases some of hardy\u2019s more familiar images which remain bestsellers today .\nhardy narrowly missed being sent to cover the dieppe raid ( the photographer who did go was killed ) . hardy was with allied troops that took part in the d - day landings in june 1944 . hardy , receiving the pay of an army sergeant , also photographed the liberation of paris on 25th august . he followed the troops into germany and in one picture recorded general miles dempsey crossing the rhine . he also took photographs of concentration camp victims .\nin 1942 hardy was called up into the army and put into public relations for the war office . as the war office supplied stories to all the magazines , hardy ' s ambition was to get a story into both picture post and illustrated each week ; this he managed to do on numerous occasions .\nhardy became famous for his work published in liberal photojournalistic magazine picture post from 1941 until the magazine ' s closer in 1957 . a self - taught photographer , hardy became the post ' s chief photographer quickly , after his first work was published . it was a study of firefighters during the blitz .\nbut bert produced nothing he was happy with in two years and through the work he had started doing for esso magazine and bowaters began making contacts in advertising .\nto my great excitement , we found a remarkable new photographer . bert hardy was a young cockney , the eldest of seven children , who had left school at fourteen . he left on a friday afternoon and started work on saturday morning in a printing and developing works at ten shillings a week with sixpence an hour overtime .\nbert was born on may 19th 1913 , the first of seven children to carpenter albert \u2018seagull\u2019 hardy and blanche , his charlady wife . the family home consisted of two small rooms at the top of priory buildings on webber street just off the blackfriars road , where they slept at night packed like sardines into one double bed .\nwith the light gone , hardy and cameron took an empty landing craft back to the mother ship where bert was informed that their landing had taken place on the wrong beach , one still being softened up by \u2018friendly fire\u2019 . other reports indicate the north korean forces may have already surrendered by the time blue beach was reached .\nhardy went on to shoot two stories which he seemed to enjoy immensely \u2013 hop picking in kent , and the port - wine harvest in portugal \u2013 but his constant travels were putting pressure on his personal life , and although they moved house from eltham to blackheath , bert was no longer getting on with his wife dora .\nborn in 1913 , hardy was the eldest of seven children . the family lived in two rooms \u2013 and one double bed \u2013 in a building near london\u2019s south bank\nhardy was dispatched to newcastle where an air raid had been reported . after scratching around he found a dimly lit brick - lined tunnel , \u201cwhere nervous people sometimes went at night\u201d . using the available light from a few strung - out light bulbs bert took pictures hand - holding his leica at 1 / 4 of a second .\nself taught and using the small leica camera instead of the traditional larger press cameras , hardy was recruited by the editor of picture post , tom hopkinson , in 1941 .\nin the warehouse fire , bert\u2019s suit had been burnt and his camera damaged . tom hopkinson ensured picture post paid the cost of replacing both for the criterion press photographer .\nback in london in the picture post darkroom on shoe lane , bert\u2019s photographs were pasted together to produce a panorama which was published in picture post on april 20th 1957 .\nwhen bert hardy came in to see me he was in his twenties and already an experienced cameraman . to try him out i offered him a difficult assignment . the blitz had started and i asked him to take pictures inside street shelters . no flash must be used and the pictures must make the reader feel he was inside with the shelterers in semi - darkness while bombs were falling . bert passed the test triumphantly ; i at once took him on the staff and he was soon a mainstay of the magazine .\nbert hardy , born in london , worked his way up from a lab assistant to become a photographer . his talent flourished as a staff photographer on picture post , joining the illustrated magazine during the second world war . as well as travelling with the armed forces , his images of the blitz are amongst the finest and closest to the action taken .\nbert hardy always said it was the few years in advertising which enabled him to buy his farm in limpsfield chart and , as the farming activities decreased , he and his wife made it a base from which to explore the new opportunities of lectures , exhibitions and print sales . for many of us , too , it became a place of pilgrimage .\nmoore used a 35mm leica . amazed at the detail in moore\u2019s prints hardy saved up and bought a second - hand model \u2013 probably a leica i \u2013 which he described as old , black and with a fixed 50mm f3 . 5 standard lens . \u201ci never looked back after buying my first leica , \u201d bert was to say in later life .\nbert was invariably the good companion who\u2019s instinctive images unfailingly conveyed an empathy with the poor and underprivileged showing that whatever misfortune was thrust upon them these people retained their human dignity .\nbert knew life would pay three to four times his picture post salary , but he also knew the american giant would publish only one in every four or five stories he shot .\nfor some time bert and sheila had been thinking about buying a cottage in the country . in february 1964 sheila spotted a farm in surrey advertised for sale in the sunday times .\nthen began the period for which bert hardy ' s work is best remembered : liverpool , tiger bay , the girls by the seaside and the gorbals , where his intimate pictures of the inside of houses and close - ups of people contrasted well with the cooler exterior shots of bill brandt . he worked for hours with the writer bert lloyd on that story and much appreciated the teams that tom hopkinson built up of writers and photographers , which avoided the friction that can sometimes happen between the writing and picture - making sides of photo - journalism .\nalthough authenticated reports had been filed \u2013 but never published \u2013 by picture post correspondent stefan schimanski and photographer haywood magee in july 1950 and the times , on wednesday october 25th 1950 , was to confirm the ill - treatment of political prisoners by the south korean police in chilling detail , hopkinson knew the combination of james cameron\u2019s words and bert hardy\u2019s pictures would create controversy .\nbert hardy\u2019s images for \u2018life in the elephant\u2019 exposing the area\u2019s pattern of life are complimented by bert lloyd\u2019s lyrical introduction : \u201dits voice has the rasp of trams , trains , trucks . its eyes have the blaze of street - stalls , eel - stands , pin - table arcades and chestnut cans . its anatomy is decked with sooty bricks , cast iron spikes and the marble pillars of pubs . its heart is that of its people \u2013 kind as a housewife , rough as a worker , busy as a tradesman , wide as a wide - boy . \u201d\nnever inclined to photograph corpses bert realised that he had to record what he was witnessing . he knew no one would believe such things could happen were they not to see photographic proof .\nthe french got nothing exceptional at the opera that night , and bert\u2019s composite panorama made a double page spread . but it was to be his last great picture published in picture post .\none of bert\u2019s earliest advertising shoots was on the strand cigarette campaign for the bensons advertising agency \u2013 a campaign distinguished as one of the least successful flirtations between cigarette advertising and french philosophy .\neven for james cameron and bert hardy who had produced the fateful story , resignation was a luxury neither could afford . to keep them out of trouble the pair were dispatched to the remoteness of the himalayas in a search for the dalai lama , who , following the chinese invasion of tibet , had escaped lhasa and was in hiding in the chumbi valley near the indian border .\nhaving taught himself about apertures and shutter speeds by trial and error , and how to gauge distance by pacing between lamp posts , hardy\u2019s career as a photographer began with a photograph of royalty .\nnevertheless tom hopkinson recalled , \u201cas i turned over hardy\u2019s prints when they first came out of the darkroom , i knew that i had never had a better picture story in my hands . \u201d\nthe british were given two permits . \u201cand the french police were making sure that\u2019s all we had , \u201d said hardy . picture post \u2013 then paris match\u2019s main rival \u2013 received no accreditation .\ntwice a day bert went on a round of west end chemist shops collecting and delivering film and prints , often jumping onto the backs of passing lorries and carts to save on bus fares .\nbert had passed his test triumphantly , and was to become the mainstay of picture post . assignments were to come thick and fast . the world was at war . london was being bombed .\nbert\u2019s older son michael also became a photographer . mike had begun working in the picture post darkrooms , but when the magazine folded he landed the job as paris photographer for the daily express .\nhardy was dispatched to blackpool where the lord mayor presented him with an amateur camera . with this most basic of devices plus the minor adaptations of a close up lens , a yellow filter and an improvised cardboard viewfinder , bert roamed blackpool\u2019s golden mile looking for images . he searched without great success until he hit upon the idea of asking the showgirls from the pier theatre to help out .\n\u2018the ideal picture tells something of the essence of life , \u2019 hardy wrote . \u2018it shows some aspect of humanity the way the person who looks at the picture will at once recognise as startlingly true\u2019\nbert thought he must also have got onto the roof of one of the buildings to take pictures of firemen fighting the blaze from the tops of their ladders , although he couldn\u2019t recall doing so .\ngordon fasier , 1985 . soft cover . condition : very good . soft cover version published by gordon frasier , london , 1985 . this copy is signed and personalized by the author . it reads ,\nduane and lucille , very best wishes , bert hardy 6 / 4 / 85 .\na unique copy of an amazing photographic autobiography . $ 150 . signed by author ( s ) .\nthe same prints kept by hardy , who died in 1995 aged 82 , go on display \u2014 and on sale , from \u00a32 , 500 \u2014 at the photographers\u2019 gallery from may 13 to july 3 .\nwhen hardy viewed his negatives under a green safelight there was nothing to see . another half hour in the super - soup produced the faintest of highlights . frustrated , bert put the films back in the developer and went to visit his mother across blackfriars bridge . he let himself in to her house but as everyone was asleep made himself a cup of tea . he thinks he may have dozed off .\ntwo months after shooting the fire - fighters , bert left bertram collins and criterion to join picture post as a staff photographer on a freelance basis . his guarantee was \u00a38 a week , plus expenses .\nin london there was a bigger wedding to cover . in what bert described as one of england\u2019s periodic fits of royalty fever , the future queen elizabeth was marrying the duke of edinburgh in westminster abbey .\nunsuccessful in their quest for the tibetan spiritual leader ( who was not to flee tibet for another nine years ) , hardy and cameron settled on a story including the life of the monks at the monastery at pedong , situated high on a trans - himalayan trade route between india and tibet ( picture post , february 24th 1951 ) . for a while on the silk road hardy thought seriously about becoming a buddhist .\nduring the 1930s rising wages and falling production costs had turned cycling into a popular sport . bert joined a cycling club and combining his passion for cycling with his photography began submitting photographs to the bicycle magazine .\nwhen bert broke the news to mr duke , his boss at central photographic , duke was so embarrassed at the idea of a man keeping a wife on less than \u00a33 a week that he sacked him .\nthe first assault took place around 6 : 30 am following a heavy bombardment by the us fleet on north korean positions . the section where hardy and cameron were would not see action until high tide that evening .\nfar east command in kandy , ceylon and then to singapore where he was detailed to organise lord louis mounbatten\u2019s press section along fleet street lines . bert streamlined the developing , printing , captioning and world wide syndication .\nhardy was to escape angry mobs in sudan and egypt , cover the mau - mau campaign against british colonialists in kenya , document nationalist unrest against the british in cyprus and photograph yemeni tribesmen fighting british troops in aden .\nalthough bill brandt was first assigned the gorbals shoot , it was bert\u2019s pictures of glasgow which gave the story it\u2019s gritty atmosphere , and went on to win the photo sequence section in the first encyclopaedia britannica photographic awards .\nafter the post closed , hardy worked successfully in advertising , before he retired in 1964 , aged 51 . he bought a small farm in oxted , surrey , and spent the reminder of his life there with wife sheila .\non his return to london hardy took his films to the criterion darkroom and put them in his super - soup to develop . knowing the images were underexposed , he doubled his usual processing time from sixteen to thirty minutes .\nmost of picture post\u2019s employees were sacked . but in a good will gesture nika hulton , sir edward\u2019s russian wife , asked bert to stay on to work for the remaining hulton publications including lilliput , farmers weekly and housewife .\nwhen he heard that a photographer could earn good money on fleet street \u2013 then the heart of the british newspaper industry \u2013 hardy bought a plate camera for 50p from a pawn shop on the cut opposite london\u2019s old vic theatre .\nsuspected opponents of the south\u2019s authoritarian nationalist leader syngman rhee , the captives were political prisoners . bert wondered how a fourteen year old could hold political views . it seemed evident that they were about to be taken off and shot .\nbert was , i am sure , as alarmed as i was , but there was one signal difference in our roles : he had to take the pictures , and it was long ago established that one way you cannot take pictures is lying face - down in a hole . i spent considerable periods of time doing that . bert , on the other hand , was plying his trade upright in the open , cursing the military exigencies that had organized this invasion in the middle of the night . one of my enduring memories of that strange occasion is of bert hardy on the seawall of blue beach , blaspheming among the impossible din , and timing his exposures to the momentary flash of the rockets . that is the difference between the reporter ' s trade and the cameraman ' s . his art can never be emotion recalled in tranquillity . ours can - or could be : the emotion is easy ; the tranquillity more elusive .\nhardy later served as a war photographer in the army film and photographic unit ( afpu ) from 1942 until 1946 , covering the d - day landings in june 1944 , the liberation of paris and the allied advance across the rhine .\nhaving published the inchon landings feature immediately , editor tom hopkinson delayed publication of the story of the ill - treatment of political prisoners until he had confirmed every detail face to face with hardy and cameron in picture post\u2019s shoe lane offices .\nthey drove down to see it , and although the farm needed a lot of work the two londoners bought it and moved in that april . undeterred by their lack of knowledge bert and sheila began learning everything about farming from scratch .\nmost of the exhibited photographs were taken using hardy\u2019s second - hand leica camera , which he adapted to shoot in poor lighting conditions . this is piccadilly circus in central london , a place to meet and escape the postwar gloom in 1953 .\nbert hardy was born in 1913 , the eldest of seven children in a poor working - class family . leaving school at fourteen , he started work as a delivery boy for a film processing laboratory . captivated by photography , he bought a secondhand camera and started on a career that led to his employment as a full - time member of picture post , the foremost magazine of its time . bert became a mainstay and his images are amongst its best known . a selection of his stunning images of britain at war and in the austerity years that followed are reproduced in this first major book on his work . this long overdue tribute marks the centenary of his birth and places him amongst the best of twentieth century photographers .\nwith the dismissal of editor tom hopkinson by owner edward g . hulton in 1950 after the publication of a piece ( illustrated by hardy ) showing south korea\u2019s treatment of political prisoners in the korean war , the magazine went into fairly swift decline .\noriginal prints of the inchon landings . hopkinson wrote , \u201cas i turned over hardy\u2019s prints when they first came out of the darkroom , i knew that i had never had a better picture story in my hands . \u201d photo \u00a9 graham harrison .\njust hours before the british were to make the crossing bert set up his contax on a tripod on the heights at staaland to photograph the river at night . the rhine , crowded with barges and landing craft was lit by an eerie moon .\nas great - grandson of queen victoria , brother to the queen of sweden and supreme allied commander in south east asia , the amiable mountbatten was as aware of his own importance as he was the power of the photograph in promoting it . bert\u2019s\nborn 100 years ago , hardy is probably the best known of all the picture post photographers . his stories cover situations as diverse as the korean war , the portuguese rice harvest , fashion on the french riviera , italian immigrants in britain , and the chinese invasion of tibet . today , his images are still widely used in all contexts from editorial features to interior decor . the images are classic , timeless and transcend territorial and language barriers thanks to hardy\u2019s ability to capture the essence of every story .\nas young boys , les mason and his friend george davis were photographed by hardy as they walked arm in arm in glasgow . gorbals boys was taken in 1948 to highlight poverty in the city . the gorbals was among europe ' s worst slums .\nafter picture post folded in 1957 , mr . hardy turned down an offer to take pictures for life and worked for several years in advertising , often using ordinary people as models . in 1964 he bought a farm in oxted , surrey , and retired .\nbert took to carrying a print of the concentration camp in his pocket which he would show to any german who refused to accept that such things had happened . even then some germans refused to accept that images of the death camps were not allied propaganda .\nthe exhibition focuses on hardy ' s postwar images , when he was assigned to capture the daily lives of his fellow britons . this 1954 photograph , as britain struggled to recover from the deprivations and shortages of global conflict , he provocatively named too many spivs .\nthe air was thick with rockets and shells as the photographers and journalists became the first invaders to make landfall . with the light fading fast , bert put on a tin hat for the first time in his life and poked his head above the sea wall .\n\u201cit had rained that day , and there were a few puddles on the ground . the prisoners were being closely watched by armed guards , but the intense heat must have made them very thirsty . whenever they thought that no one was looking , they would scoop up the rainwater from the ground and drink it . if one of the guards saw them doing this , he immediately set on them and beat them mercilessly with his rifle butt , \u201d wrote bert hardy . \u201cthese guards were in the army of our allies . \u201d\nwhen the fire - fighter story was published , hopkinson ended it with the famous caption , \u201dfrom our rule of anonymity we except these pictures . they were taken by a . hardy , one of our photographers . \u201d ( picture post , february 1st 1941 ) .\nwhen they were midway across german mortar positions got the launch\u2019s range and began peppering the river with fire , sending sheets of water into the air . dempsey\u2019s launch reached the allied side and everyone took cover as hardy took some more images of the general under fire .\nthe only photographs bert could get that evening were on his contax at speeds as low as 1 / 25 of a second at f1 . 4 . the american press working with speed graphics , with a widest aperture of f4 . 5 , got next to nothing .\nin contrast to the squalor hardy often recorded , he was also sent to cover the marriage of princess elizabeth to lt philip mountbatten in 1947 . here bridesmaids adjust the veil and train of the future queen as she arrives at westminster abbey with her father king george vi .\nin newly independent india , bert photographed the country\u2019s first prime minister jawaharlal nehru , in france the gypsy festival of the black virgin at saint maries - de - la mar in the camargue and in poland the wedding of a scottish girl to a polish soldier in warsaw .\nautumn was turning to winter , and the elephant was shrouded in thick smog . all the two bert\u2019s could manage were images of trams and smog , and of smog and trams . that was until they met maisie , a prostitute who\u2019s husband was in prison for robbery .\nat this time he also set up a processing house , grove hardy , with gerry grove , who had worked as a printer for picture post , and which was used by many of the younger generation of fleet street and documentary photographers for both their personal and professional work .\nwhat the grand occasion was may be lost in the mists of time , but king george v and queen mary were in regal procession down the blackfriars road in an open carriage when spotting the young hardy with his camera among the cheering crowds , the monarch turned in acknowledgement .\ngerman bombers had started the blitz of british cities , and hopkinson asked bert to do a shoot on the street shelters . he could not use flash and the pictures must make the reader feel they were in the semi - darkness , with the families as bombs were falling .\non july 1st bert crossed the channel himself and was sent to the strategic city of caen where the germans were putting up fierce resistance . amid being mortared and documenting captured german soldiers and nurses at work on the injured he met george silk of life magazine and robert capa ."]}

urban , i think . kesu is chosen over langda because of his connections t5o the student body , if i remember right . and that sort of a plot point might not make so much sense in a completely rural setting .\nmore recently , there have been movies like ishqiya , peepli live , dabang , well done abba , welcome to sajjanpr etc which had a rural setting . on bharatiraja\u2019s powerful endings , i watched this movie kallukkul eeram ( in which he\u2019s given credit for screenplay & direction supervision ) which too had a dramatic and unexpected twist . ilaiyaraja\u2019s brilliant bgm in the last 10 mins led one to think there was going to be a predictable happy ending only to be jolted with a shocking denouement\nrt @ jrdrd : jurassic park sequel idea : 3 million ad . the humans are extinct . the dino -

chairman , disney media networks and president , disney | abc television group . patrick moran , evp , abc studios , will continue to oversee day - to - day operations . moran had reported to lee but now will report directly to sherwood . that move seems to confirm speculation going back more than a year about sherwood is putting a great deal of emphasis on the tv studio side of the operation . with the increase in popularity of portable devices and streaming services such as netflix , content production is a growth area whereas , in the broadcast network world , executives have joked for some time that flat is the new up . dividing up the responsibility for the network\u2019s entertainment division and abc studios , and having both execs report to directly sherwood gives the studio a seat at the table .\nthere had been rumors about lee possibly leaving abc ever since sherwood was named to replace anne sweeney in spring of 2014 . both are considered strong - willed executives with creative vision and hands - on approach that has led to clashes . at the time , lee re - upped his contract , and went on to preside over one of the most successful broadcast seasons in recent years , as abc last season launched a number of strong series led by htgawm . but that did not quell speculation that lee , who was named to his job in 2010 , did not see eye to eye with sherwood , who\u2019d actually assumed his current post in february of \u201915 when sweeney stepped down , and had been yet to put his stamp on the network until now . lee\u2019s current contract was set to come up before the end of this year . he is expected to sit it out .\nanother subject on which the two execs were said to have differed : sherwood wanted to add to abc\u2019s primetime slate more procedurals with closed - ended episodes conducive to repeat broadcasts . lee , however , favored serialized dramas , using other series to bridge the timeslot during times when those dramas went on hiatus \u2013 or , as some industry wags liked to call it , during \u201cpaul\u2019s european vacation . \u201d\namong the four major broadcast networks , abc is this season to date ranked no . 4 in the key 18 - 49 age bracket , and no . 3 in overall audience , though it is the only one of the big four to lack a presence of nfl football on its primetime schedule ( cbs and nbc both air primetime football broadcasts in the fourth quarter , while fox enjoys routine high - rated sunday nfl over - runs ) .\nlikely contributing to the case for an executive change was the fact that abc is down this season by 14 % in that metric while down 13 % in overall audience and down 15 % in the slightly older 25 - 54 age bracket . the network had a couple of flops , including blood & oil , wicked city and the muppets , though it also had a breakout in quantico and a growing sophomore in fresh off the boat . meanwhile , of abc\u2019s broadcast competitors : cbs , which broadcast this season\u2019s super bowl , is flat in both demos and up 1 % in overall audience . nbc is down 14 % in the younger demo and 9 % in the older and down 8 % in total viewers , though a lot of that decline is owing to its having had last season\u2019s super bowl . fox is flat in the key younger demo , up 4 % among 25 - 54 year olds , and up 5 % in overall audience .\nthe timing of lee\u2019s departure is surprising , given that abc is in the process of producing its pilots for next season . that said , it\u2019s not the first time abc has dismissed an entertainment chief during pilot season in advance of the upfronts . it happened to lloyd braun and susan lyne in 2004 when the two were let go in april , after the pilots had been produced but before series pickup decisions had been made . then , as now , picking an insider to fill the post has made it much less of a jolt for the network , and for producers working on its pilots ( back in \u201904 it was steve mcpherson ) .\nsources said that the process of changing the top entertainment executive at the network started at the beginning of 2015 with a plan to time it in a way so lee\u2019s successor could be very involved in the production of the pilots and the decisions which pilots would go to series .\nlee , a british journalist - turned - tv - producer - turned - executive , had been considered something of a hollywood outsider when named to the abc job though he\u2019d gotten great reviews running abc family , where he spent six years , before sweeney named him to replace mcpherson at the broadcast network , on the eve of the \u201910 summer tca . but , after a few rocky seasons , he led abc to a strong place , with a solid slate of original series , and the hollywood community warmed to lee , who was considered a straight - shooter .\nit is unclear what will be lee\u2019s next move . while at abc , he had been approached for what he had once said would be his dream job , running the bbc .\n\u201cleading abc has been a fantastic experience . i\u2019m especially proud of the incredible team i built and the strategic , creative vision we established and successfully executed for both the network and studio , \u201d lee said in today\u2019s announcement . \u201ctogether , we\u2019ve transformed abc into one of the strongest brands in television , with shows like \u2018scandal , \u2019 \u2018blackish , \u2019 \u2018once upon a time , \u2019 \u2018how to get away with murder , \u2019 \u2018the goldbergs , \u2019 \u2018revenge , \u2019 \u2018s . h . i . e . l . d . , \u2019 \u2018quantico , \u2019 \u2018fresh off the boat , \u2019 and \u2018american crime\u2019 . i wish channing and patrick all the best . \u201d\nand sherwood said of his choice : \u201cchanning is a gifted leader and a proven magnet for top creative talent , with an impressive record of developing compelling , breakthrough programming that resonates with viewers . \u201d he continued , \u201cwe thank paul for his many accomplishments at abc and his devotion to the abc brand , and we wish him continued success in the future . \u201d\nwga west exec director david young got \u201csignificant bonus\u201d to earn $ 1 . 1 million last year\nava duvernay\u2019s \u2018central park five\u2019 casts michael k . williams , vera farmiga & john leguizamo for netflix\u2026\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 penske business media , llc . all rights reserved . hollywood\u2122 & design \u00a9 2018 hollywood chamber of commerce . the hollywood sign is a trademark and intellectual property of hollywood chamber of commerce . all rights reserved .\nshe is best known for portraying francie calfo and her evil doppelg\u00e4nger allison doren on abc\u2019s alias . while enmeshed in alias , she had recurring roles on two sitcoms , the king of queens and malcolm in the middle , then returned to drama with revenge , hollywood heights and betrayal .\nchanning pursued a career behind the cameras as a story editor and film producer before joining abc\u2019s drama team in 2003 . by 2009 she was overseeing the development and acquisition of dramas . last year the network named her executive vice -

director amit v . masurkar\u2019s sophomore venture is the story of a rookie sarkari afsar determined to conduct a free and fair election in a remote , forested chattisgarh polling station to which he has been assigned as presiding officer . newton kumar ( rajkummar rao ) is a portrait in youthful earnestness . he is inexperienced and innocent enough \u2013 some may say na\u00efve \u2013 to be startled at the opposition to his efforts by those within the establishment .\nwhat you see in this mix are a conscientious soul , a corrupt cynic , a woman doing her job while being resigned to her people\u2019s fate , an old man resigned to the harshness of a reality he does little to change and a satellite group flowing with the tide . it takes all kinds to make the world , it takes just one you , me or newton to be the change we want to see in that world .\nhindi cinema has for long more or less ignored the existence of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes in our society , with most films being centred around upper - caste , north indian , hindu men . stories of dalits and women have usually been told by art filmmakers , and that too in weepie form . when dalits have appeared in mainstream ventures , they have usually been supporting players and victims with no agency , uplifted by kind brahmin and kshatriya men . in the matter of caste representation , southern indian cinema \u2013 though far from perfect \u2013 is head and shoulders above the north , with dr biju\u2019s thoughtful malayalam film kaadu pookunna neram just this year taking us deep into tribal territory . marathi cinema too scores high on this front with recent years bringing us the offbeat genius of chaitanya tamhane\u2019s court ( 2015 ) and nagraj manjule\u2019s commercially conventional yet thematically groundbreaking sairat ( 2016 ) .\nmasurkar razes multiple hindi film clich\u00e9s to the ground in newton by resorting to low - key black comedy to tell a tale of adivasis being pulled in different directions by the police and naxalites on election day , by making an adivasi \u2013 that too a woman \u2013 one of the agents of change in the film , and by conceiving newton as a man of indeterminate caste , even if clearly not an adivasi himself .\nnewton \u2019s story has been credited to masurkar , the screenplay and dialogues to him and mayank tewari . together , they have managed to keep their tone light throughout , while never once making light of the unnerving situations before us .\nto be a scene - stealer in an assembly of such immense talent seems impossible , yet somehow pankaj tripathi achieves that . this is an artiste who values our time and makes every second , every flicker of an eyelash count . nowhere is this more in evidence than in the scene in which atma singh is first introduced to newton kumar . by then , the latter\u2019s name has already been a butt of many jokes . atma does not offer a wisecrack , but with an expression so fleeting that you might miss it if you blink an eye at that moment , he wordlessly lets us \u2013 and newton \u2013 know that he has noticed , he is taken aback and amused , but he does not care enough to do anything more . now that he has delivered back to back brilliance in anaarkali of aarah , gurgaon , bareilly ki barfi and newton , it can be safely said that 2017 is turning out to be the year of the tripathi .\ngood camerawork and editing are an inextricable part of every good performance \u2013 this fact is exemplified by a scene in which atma sits primly , wearing a floppy hat , and across a large vacant plot of land , observes newton who stands at the door of the polling station . atma\u2019s posture , evident even in an extreme long shot where his face is a blur , atma\u2019s tininess in newton\u2019s eyes from that distance , and the pace of the cuts going back and forth between them had the combined effect of causing me to giggle , despite the awareness that newton is disheartened at that point . a salaam here and for the flow of the rest of the narrative to cinematographer swapnil s . sonawane and editor shweta venkat mathew .\nmasurkar made his directorial debut with the laugh - so - much - that - you - might - die sulemani keeda in 2014 , which sadly did not get the public attention it deserved . with his second film , it is clear that intelligently used humour is his weapon of choice , irrespective of the battle at hand . it is not often that an indian filmmaker takes to comedy in a setting this dismal \u2013 masurkar and his co - writer do , without being condescending or trivialising the almost depressing circumstances it chronicles in lands far beyond the india most of us are exposed to .\nthere is so much that newton alludes to \u2013 the exploitation of tribals by politicians , the ignorance of \u2018mainstream\u2019 society , the constraints faced by honest government servants , the apathy or corruption that these constraints trigger even in those not naturally inclined to evil , language politics ( i challenge anyone who claims that hindi is the language of north india as a whole , to decipher the smattering of gondi dialogues in the film without the help of a translator ) , the dubious efficacy of all violence ( including violence that claims to have noble goals ) . yet the film is not a phd thesis nor is it all bleak . with his emphasis on the almost darwinian significance of the lone soldier in human civilisation , masurkar snatches optimism from the jaws of pessimism .\nthis is a film designed to give us hope that might even be deemed ridiculously in the face of the challenges before india\u2019s many newtons . one theory is that hope is a compulsion , a choice some of us make to maintain our sanity ; the other is that human history bears witness to the value of being that drop in the ocean . in the words of a song from this film ( music : naren chandavarkar and benedict taylor , lyrics : varun grover ) : \u201c manzil door thhi / dheemi chaal thhi / udti dhool mein / aankhen laal thhi / chalte chalte khud rasta mudh gaya / tujhko dekh ke panchhi udh gaya . \u201d ( the road was long , your pace slow , your eyes reddening with the flying dust . as you walked , the path turned , and at the sight of you , the bird took flight . )\nnewton \u2019s music wafts so gently in and out of the narrative , that you almost do not notice when it is not there . when it is though , it makes its presence felt without rubbing itself in our faces .\nnewton was premiered early this year at the berlin film festival where it won a top award . the cleverness of masurkar\u2019s film is that it is designed to appeal to audiences beyond the already converted and beyond the artistically inclined fest circuit .\nit takes us to a region rarely explored by bollywood , and to a scenario so bizarre that as viewers we are left with just three options : laugh , cry or be furious . option 4 : all the above combined .\nif you do watch this film , i strongly suggest that you stay till the very last credit has rolled off the screen . you do not want to deprive yourself of the pleasure of listening to the closing song kar , in which lyricist irshad kamil writes : \u201c\u2026 paas pados mein kya banta hai / kya hai masala kya hai tel / tune isse kya lena hai ? / raajneeti ki shop hai , mitron / sabhi emotion hote sale / border pe apni sena hai / tu twitter pe chhod missile / subah baitth aur shaam kar / dil bola / dil bola / dil bola apna kaam kar / chal tu apna kaam kar . \u201d ( roughly : why bother with what\u2019s cooking in the neighbour\u2019s house ? in the business of politics , my friend , every emotion is for sale . our army is on the border , but you launch missiles day and night on twitter . still , my heart says , focus on your job . come , play your part . )\nmitron , the world will take care of itself , as long as you do your bit .\nlog in or sign up for facebook to connect with friends , family and people you know .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\nearly -

oriented producers of cash crops , white southerners still insisted that their adherence to plantation slavery and racial hierarchy made them morally superior to greedy northerners and their callous , cutthroat commerce . southerners and northerners increasingly saw their ways of life as incompatible .\nthirteen women features the only film appearance of actress peg entwistle . entwistle became despondent over her career and jumped to her death from hollywood sign on september 16 , 1932 . the film premiered in new york on october 15 ( almost exactly a month after her suicide ) , and in los angeles in november .

[ 1 ]\nwhich is also , of course , what also makes them almost irresistable . if you\u2019re going to read a bad book , you don\u2019t want one that\u2019s half - heartedly bad , one whose author betrays any misgivings or sense of aesthetic standards . you want a full , unrepentant wallow\u2013and that\u2019s exactly what you get . in the case of thirteen women , you get adultery\u2013both hetero - and homosexual\u2013suicide , murder , rape , revenge , envy , gossip , corruption , show business , clairvoyance , yoga , blackmail , and chain letters . and i probably left something out of that list .\nas myrna is typecast in this period as exotic vamp - still some way to the\nthin man myrna\n- irene is typecast as being poised , behaved and sensible - the most interesting aspect being that she is totally defined through motherhood in this film . irene\u00b4s screen persona certainly had a maternal streak through the years ; she played 18 times a mother in her 41 films . i can\u00b4t imagine that\nthirteen women\nwas much of an acting challenge for irene - not after\nback street\n- but it\u00b4s surely once again a consolidating of her screen image .\nthis review was posted at under the covers it is sad to see a series that i love come to an end but it ' s also refreshing to see one ending on such a high note . oftentimes series just start falling on the quality and originality of the books but women of the otherworld has always either kept steady or improved . and thirteen is one of the best books in the series ! a truly perfect grand finale . and all i can do is applaud ms . armstrong for a job well done and now go cry in a corner because i won ' t\ndomestic expectations constantly changed and the market revolution transformed many women\u2019s traditional domestic tasks . cloth production , for instance , advanced throughout the market revolution as new mechanized production increased the volume and variety of fabrics available to ordinary people . this relieved many better - off women of a traditional labor obligation . as cloth production became commercialized , women\u2019s home - based cloth production became less important to household economies . purchasing cloth , and later , ready - made clothes , began to transform women from producers to consumers . one woman from maine , martha ballard , regularly referenced spinning , weaving , and knitting in the diary she kept from 1785 to 1812 . 41 martha , her daughters , and female neighbors spun and plied linen and woolen yarns and used them to produce a variety of fabrics to make clothing for her family . the production of cloth and clothing was a year - round , labor - intensive process , but it was for home consumption , not commercial markets .\nmalenda m . edwards to sabrina bennett , 4 apr 1839 , quoted in thomas dublin , ed . , farm to factory women\u2019s letters , 1830 - 1860 ( new york : columbia university press , 1993 ) , 74 .

( less )\nwomen might also parlay their feminine skills into businesses . in addition to working as seamstresses , milliners , or laundresses , women might undertake paid work for neighbors or acquaintances or combine clothing production with management of a boarding house . even slaves with particular skill at producing clothing could be hired out for a higher price , or might even negotiate to work part - time for themselves . most slaves , however , continued to produce domestic items , including simpler cloths and clothing , for home consumption .\npray the devil back to hell is the astonishing story of the liberian women who took on the warlords and regime of dictator charles taylor in the midst of a brutal civil war , and won a once unimaginable peace for their shattered country in 2003 .\nthis fantastic movie is based on the bestselling novel of the same name written by tiffany thayer . the movie is not faithful to the book . there are a few differences . the plot for this one is about a woman , ursula georgi ( myrna loy ) , revolted by the fact that she was snubbed by the other women owing to her mixed - race heritage decides to revenge by tricking the women into killing each other and themselves . curious fact : the 12th and 13th women scenes were deleted from the film , leaving it with only 11 . also , peg entwistle ' s scenes in the original cut had 20 minutes , then it was cut to 16 minutes and then reduced to 4 minutes . each women received a horoscope , sent by a clairvoyant\nswami\n( c . henry gordon ) , on which it tells that each one of them will die by commiting suicide or by the hand of others . georgi also hypnotizes the victims , leading them to commit suicide . in the end , when she confronts the last survivor of the women , laura stanhope ( irene dunne ) , doesn ' t kill her . ursula hypnotizes her into falling asleep . after that , she is caught and runs to the back of the train jumping to her death .\nalison bechdel although she works as a cartoonist , alison bechdel has been a hugely influential figure in the world of film . in her comic dykes to watch out for , she outlines a set of criteria that are meant to score films\u2019 depictions of women .\nis an executive producer of women , war & peace , producer of the film pray the devil back to hell and writer on peace unveiled , the third film in the series about afghanistan . her longtime passion for women\u2019s issues and peacebuilding led her to producing films . she has executive produced films that address various social issues , including family affair , playground , sun come up ( academy award\u00ae nominee 2011 , best documentary short ) and return , and is involved in several more films in various stages of development and production .\nthe film premiered in october at the roxy theater in new york city on october 15 , 1932 , [ 2 ] then released in los angeles , [ 3 ] and a few other cities in november 1932 . [ 4 ] [ 5 ] a limited national release came in 1933 . originally running seventy - three minutes , the studio edited fourteen minutes out of the picture prior to release . the film was re - released in 1935 ( post - code ) by rko , hoping to turn a profit by cashing in on the growing popularity of stars dunne and loy . thirteen women has been cited as an early\nfemale ensemble\nfilm .

- perhaps one involving poor whites . much as in salem a half century before , hysteria came to colonial america , and soon new york city ' s jails were filled to overflowing . in the end , despite grave questions about the contours of the suspected conspiracy , thirty - four defendants were executed . thirteen black men burned at the stake and seventeen more hanged . in addition , four alleged white ringleaders - - two men and two women - - made trips to new york city ' s gallows .\nin cities , where women could buy cheap imported cloth to turn into clothing , they became skilled consumers . they stewarded money earned by their husbands by comparing values and haggling over prices . in one typical experience , mrs . peter simon , a captain\u2019s wife , inspected twenty - six yards of holland cloth to ensure it was worth the \u00a3130 price . 42 even wealthy women shopped for high - value goods . while servants or slaves routinely made low - value purchases , the mistress of the household trusted her discriminating eye alone for expensive or specific purchases .\nthis understanding of the young woman kidnapped as a human being with a full , rounded life that both precedes and extends beyond her relationship with her kidnapper reveals a society with a greater awareness of both the extent of violence against women , and its impact . we know now that , for example ,\nand while thirteen is fiction , part of that realness lies in the fact that , unlike a grisly headline , it moves beyond the misery . sensitivity is key but so too is suspense and \u2013 though there\u2019s no kimmy schmidt - style screwball comedy \u2013some humour . \u201cthere\u2019s a lot of hope and humanity , \u201d dickens insists , before adding in a deadpan voice , \u201chopefully people don\u2019t watch it and go , \u2018that was a bit of a downer . \u2019\u201d\nthe idea for the five - part thriller , which airs on the now web - only bbc3 , came from the londoner\u2019s fascination with what happens once survivors are out of the public eye . \u201cthere are so many of those real - life horror stories of people who are taken , and i do think people are traditionally more interested in what happened wherever they were kept , \u201d dickens explains . \u201cbut i just thought : what happens to these women \u2013 and it does tend to be women \u2013 after the press is out of their face ? how do they begin to return to real life ? \u201d\nchaudry travels internationally to documentary forums , festivals and markets ; has been a judge and panelist for the independent filmmaker project , silverdocs , pov , among others ; and is as an advisor on a feature documentary about floating schools and solar power in bangladesh . in addition to her documentary work , chaudry was a senior editor for a national women\u2019s health magazine ; reported for the new york times ; produced a women\u2019s health website for lifetime television ; and performs voiceovers . she holds degrees from columbia college and the columbia graduate school of journalism and is a member of the american federation of television and radio artists .\nher plays include abeyance ( druid debut , druid theatre co ) , pumpgirl ( bush / traverse / manhattan theatre club ) , which won the 2007 susan smith blackburn award , the stewart parker award and was nominated for the irish times best new play , strandline ( fishamble ) which was shortlisted for the susan smith blackburn award and nominated for the meyer whitworth award , and bogwog ( npc ) o\u2019neill centre connecticut . lally the scut was named by fintan o ' toole ( irish times ) as irish play of the year 2015 and poena 5x1 premiered in the underbelly at the edinburgh festival 2016 , receiving fantastic reviews . her short plays include thirteen ( women in power and politics , tricycle theatre ) , shaving the pickle ( 59e59 nyc ) and rubberfoot ( pentabus ) .\nthe war we are living travels to cauca , a mountainous region in colombia\u2019s pacific southwest , where two extraordinary afro - colombian women are braving a violent struggle over their gold - rich lands . they are standing up for a generation of colombians who have been terrorized and forcibly displaced as a deliberate strategy of war .\nwatching thirteen women i wonder what merle oberon must have thought . she lived in real life what myrna loy ' s character was experiencing in the film . it was only after she died that it came out that merle was of mixed racial origin . she successfully passed her entire life . loy who was in fact caucasian until she became the incarnation of the perfect wife and mother played a whole lot of these exotic characters . she borrows a bit from her performance as fu manchu ' s daughter in playing a woman who is exacting terrible revenge on members of a sorority at a finishing school who discovered her background and used it to get her expelled . it was her ticket into the white world and respectability as she saw it . using c . henry gordon as a phony swami she has unpleasant horoscopes made against her thirteen enemies . loy doesn ' t want to just kill them , she wants to torment them and uses gordon as her means . loy wants maximum satisfaction . in the case of irene dunne who she sees as her chief enemy loy also has plans for dunne ' s child as well . a whole lot of women dominate this film as the sisters like kay johnson , jill esmond , florence eldridge and more . ricardo cortez plays the police sergeant who tracks down loy and edward pawley plays another of the men she uses in her fiendish schemes . as this was a before the code film , there was some frank talk about racism under the guise of snobbery . no doubt that dunne and the rest were guilty of it . it drove loy off the deep end and she enacts a terrible vengeance . a really good before the code film that should be better known .\nin the first half of the nineteenth century , families in the northern united states increasingly participated in the cash economy created by the market revolution . the first stirrings of industrialization shifted work away from the home . these changes transformed americans\u2019 notions of what constituted work , and therefore shifted what it meant to be an american woman and an american man . as americans encountered more goods in stores and produced fewer at home , the ability to remove women and children from work determined a family\u2019s class status . this ideal , of course , ignored the reality of women\u2019s work at home and was possible for only the wealthy . the market revolution therefore not only transformed the economy , it changed the nature of the american family . as the market revolution thrust workers into new systems of production , it redefined gender roles . the market integrated families into a new cash economy . as americans purchased more goods in stores and produced fewer at home , the purity of the domestic sphere\u2014the idealized realm of women and children\u2014increasingly signified a family\u2019s class status .\nit\u2019s the most contemporary project that barnard has been involved with in a while , and slightly jarring to see him using an iphone and offering up predictions on the future of tv . he reckons that true crime hits like making a murderer have had an effect on what audiences want from scripted drama . \u201cwe\u2019ve had so many period dramas and all the rest of it . we want to watch real situations happen in the now , \u201d he says , citing thirteen as an example of what he sees as a larger trend .\ni ' ve been a fan of the otherworld series ever since i picked up bitten and fell in love with the hot , complicated and largely dysfunctional romance between clay danvers and elena michaels . over the years , i have liked some stories more than others . some had better narrators , others had a stronger story arc , and yet others appealed more to the romance lover in me . but these last two otherworld books took the series to an entirely different level . thirteen was everything i wanted . . . everything i n\nin thirteen\u2019s opening episode , protagonist ivy moxam ( jodie comer ) begins to answer those questions , as she makes her escape from the bristol basement where she\u2019s been held for 13 years . the world has carried on in the 26 -

screen depiction of transgressive sexual fantasies .\nthe revolution reverberated across the country . more and more farmers grew crops for profit , not self - sufficiency . vast factories and cities arose in the north . enormous fortunes materialized . a new middle class ballooned . and as more men and women worked in the cash economy , they were freed from the bound dependence of servitude . but there were costs to this revolution . as northern textile factories boomed , the demand for southern cotton swelled , and american slavery accelerated . northern subsistence farmers became laborers bound to the whims of markets and bosses . the market revolution sparked explosive economic growth and new personal wealth , but it also created a growing lower class of property - less workers and a series of devastating depressions , called \u201cpanics . \u201d many americans labored for low wages and became trapped in endless cycles of poverty . some workers , often immigrant women , worked thirteen hours a day , six days a week . others labored in slavery . massive northern textile mills turned southern cotton into cheap cloth . and although northern states washed their hands of slavery , their factories fueled the demand for slave - grown southern cotton and their banks provided the financing that ensured the profitability and continued existence of the american slave system . and so , as the economy advanced , the market revolution wrenched the united states in new directions as it became a nation of free labor and slavery , of wealth and inequality , and of endless promise and untold perils .\njust as children were expected to be sheltered from the adult world of work , american culture expected men and women to assume distinct gender roles as they prepared for marriage and family life . an ideology of \u201cseparate spheres\u201d set the public realm\u2014the world of economic production and political life\u2014apart as a male domain , and the world of consumers and domestic life as a female one . ( even non - working women labored by shopping for the household , producing food and clothing , cleaning , educating children , and performing similar activities . but these were considered \u201cdomestic\u201d because they did not bring money into the household , although they too were essential to the household\u2019s economic viability . ) while reality muddied the ideal , the divide between a private , female world of home , and a public , male world of business defined american gender hierarchy .\nf marnie dickens crossed paths with tina fey , she reckons they would have a laugh about their differing approaches to writing about kidnap and survival . \u201ci\u2019d be like , \u2018your show looks more fun to write , \u2019\u201d the emerging screenwriter quips . while dickens has a playful nature that extends from her frequent witticisms to her bright blue nails , her debut drama is essentially the antithesis of unbreakable kimmy schmidt , fey\u2019s offbeat comedy about a twentysomething cult escapee . don\u2019t expect a weepy life - affirmer like lenny abrahamson\u2019s oscar - nominated room , neither ;

( in contrast , mr . mishra\u2019s effort to seek help for his alcoholism is hushed up . ) talk of mrs . mishra\u2019s special powers spreads quickly . in a grotesquely self - serving way , some parents bring their children to be blessed by her before their sats . one woman drags in her son who\u2019s stopped being vegetarian \u2014 he hangs out with hispanic kids and eats chicken mcnuggets \u2014 so he can witness what being indian really means .\n\u201cwhere is ajay ? what was the point of having raised him ? \u201d an elderly woman grumbles to her husband about their adult son in the opening pages of akhil sharma\u2019s semi - autobiographical new novel , \u201cfamily life . \u201d this book , deeply unnerving and gorgeously tender at its core , charts the young life of ajay mishra as he struggles to grow within a family shattered by loss and disoriented by a recent move from india to america . \u201cfamily life\u201d is equally the story of ajay\u2019s parents , whose response to grief renders them unable to find the space in which to cherish and raise him .\nmedicine and science do little for birju . he is blind . he will not walk or talk again . and sharma gives us a potent , unsentimental and at times darkly humorous narrative of how this horrific loss flings the mishra family out of the life they had into an unknown and frightening terrain where little coheres .\nakhilendra mishra is an indian film and television character actor best known for his role as kroor singh in the 1990s doordarshan fantasy television series chandrakanta . his other notable

international dublin literary award for his novel family life . the award is organised and sponsored by dublin city council and at \u20ac100 , 000 is the world\u2019s largest prize for a single novel published in english . uniquely , the award receives its nominations from public libraries in cities around the globe and recognises both writers and translators . the winner was announced at a ceremony in dublin ' s mansion house today .\nsuffering and the struggle to ameliorate suffering are not unknown in fiction but family life pulls off the extraordinary feat of showing them in their correct alignment . closing the book , having known this mix of light and dark , you are left with the sense that while reading you were actually at the core of human experience and what it is to be alive . this is the highest form of achievement in literature . few manage it . this novel does . triumphantly . luminously . movingly . all hail family life by akhil sharma .\nas a reading experience family life desolates and infuriates . it prompts questions too . why should the suffering rich get better care than the suffering rest ? isn ' t all human suffering equal ? however , alongside its subtle interrogation of inequality ( this isn ' t a febrile work of social criticism ) the novel also celebrates the mishra family ' s achievement . for all their imperfections , and they have plenty , ( there are no paragons in this novel ) , somehow they cope and somehow they meet birju\u2019s needs , which is a kind of triumph and , for a reader , it is profoundly consoling that they manage this .\nwhen we first meet the mishras , they are a young , middle - class family living in delhi in the mid - 1970s . india is under emergency rule , a time of gloom and uncertainty , but for 8 - year - old ajay and his older brother , birju , life is playful and secure . their mother lights their world , while their father seems so superfluous that ajay wonders if he\u2019s been assigned to them by the government . mr . mishra decides the family should emigrate to the united states because he craves the \u00adglamour of western science ( so much so that he regularly gets his urine tested in a lab ) .\n\u201cfamily life\u201d is devastating as it reveals how love becomes warped and jagged and even seemingly vanishes in the midst of huge grief . but it also gives us beautiful , heart - stopping scenes where love in the mishra family finds air and ease . there are moments when ajay and his mother set aside their hurt and fear to breathe life into birju ( or \u201cbrother - life , \u201d as ajay refers to him at such times ) . they joke , playfully call him names , respond cheekily on his behalf . ajay snuggles into bed with his vomit - smelling brother and complains about some teenage humiliation at school with an intimacy he doesn\u2019t share with his parents .\nthe narrative of family life is thus : the mishra ' s - mother , father and two sons , birju and his younger brother ajay ( who tells the story and is the novel\u2019s pivot ) emigrate from india to the us in 1978 . for ajay ' s older brother , birju , the new world is initially a triumph until an accident in a swimming pool causes catastrophic brain damage , after which he needs twenty - four care . initially he receives this in medical settings , but then he goes home and is cared for by his parents and his brother . the story of birju ' s care is the kernel of the novel , it ' s living heart .\nthis distinctiveness is evident from the first page , when the narrator , ajay mishra , tells us that his gloomy , ageing father recently reproached him for having been a selfish baby . his father\u2019s evidence ? \u201ci would start to cry as soon as he turned on the tv . i am forty and he is seventy - two . when he said this , i began tickling him . . . \u2018who\u2019s the sad baby ? \u2019 i said . \u2018who\u2019s the baby who cries all the time ? \u2019 \u201d there is a strange dynamic to this family , an unexpected combination of tension and release , blunt accusation and unnerving reaction . these are people living off - kilter , for reasons that soon emerge .\nthe mishras settle in a one - bedroom apartment in queens and begin to forge a new life . ajay stumbles , unable to tell his white schoolmates apart , but birju saunters with a new confidence . when mr . mishra offers his sons 50 cents for every library book they read , ajay wonders if his father has turned too american \u2014 an indian dad would have threatened to beat them for not reading , surely . when his mother dons a pair of jeans for the first time , birju teases her \u2014 fat thighs ! fat thighs ! and soon birju passes the exams for the bronx high school of science . the nervous family opens the school\u2019s acceptance letter at the temple , on their knees before an idol of the hindu god ram .\njust as sharma moved to new york with his parents and elder brother , anup , so the eight - year - old ajay mishra makes the same journey in family life . while ajay finds the transition difficult , his elder brother birju thrives in america , and even wins a place at a prestigious high school . but shortly before term starts birju hits his head on the bottom of a swimming pool and lays unconscious underwater for three minutes , resulting in catastrophic brain damage that leaves him blind and unable to communicate or move . after two years in hospital and nursing homes the family take birju home , and the rest of ajay ' s childhood is played out against a backdrop of 24 - hour care , a stream of crackpot faith healers and a family increasingly defined by alcoholism , destructive tensions and lies .\nakhil sharma\u2019s new novel family life comes out of hard autobiographical experience . sharma , along with his parents and his older brother , migrated from india to the us in the late 1970s . after a promising start for the family , sharma\u2019s older brother dived into a swimming pool and struck the bottom . the accident left him physically and mentally disabled , and radically re - routed the family\u2019s plans in america . years later sharma , already the author of a well - received novel , an obedient father ( 2000 ) , as well as a series of short stories for the new yorker and granta , decided to pursue a novel inspired by his family\u2019s situation . he spent 12 years on it and wrote no less than 7 , 000 pages along the way , consumed by the effort of getting it right . while this back story invests the book with immediate interest , its distinctive achievement in storytelling terms alone makes it one of the year\u2019s literary standouts .\nwhen he gave up his job he had no idea family life would take so long to write , and while he says his editors were supportive , he also had to insist on not publishing until he was ready .\nabout six years in my editor at faber said this wasn ' t a healthy situation and wanted to see a draft . when he read it he said : ' akhil , this is fine . what is your problem with it ? we can put this straight into copyediting . ' and i know if i had read that book as a reader i wouldn ' t have disrespected the writer , but it wasn ' t doing what i wanted it to do . that book was dense with unhappiness , whereas i wanted a book that contained all the unhappiness , but was also full of life . so i carried on . everything i ' ve ever written has won some sort of award . there is no point in doing something that is not going to move the needle .\na novel is a collection of facts that just happen to have been made up . as the reader reads they stream in to the reader ' s imagination and form a virtual equivalent of what was in the writer ' s head . the efficacy of this transaction is in direct ratio to the veracity of the author ' s facts . the better they are , the sharper the world that takes shape in the reader ' s psyche . as readers we know this . mediocre texts generate fuzzy chimeras , while more authoritative narratives so convince we can talk about the characters in the story , for example , just as we talk about our friends because they are as real as our friends . but beyond these is an even higher kind of novel that does more than engage . this kind occupies you so absolutely that while you read and for a while after you finish , the specificities of your own life don ' t exist because they have been supplanted by the specificities of the author ' s invented world . this kind of usurpation is the greatest pleasure a reader can know and family life by akhil sharma is one of those rare novels that does this .\n' it took 12 - and - a - half years and i can ' t believe how bad that time was ,\nsays akhil sharma .\ni was such a different person when i began writing it that i feel as if i ' ve shattered my youth on this book . i still find it hard to believe that it ' s over , and i have this constant fear that i need to go and sit at my computer .\nsharma is talking about his second novel , family life , which is published in the uk next week . it tells the autobiographical story of a family ' s emigration from india to the us in the late 1970s , and how an accident that left the elder son severely brain - damaged brought them close to collapse . the book has already been published to much acclaim in the us \u2013\ndeeply unnerving and gorgeously tender at its core\nsaid the new york times \u2013 matching the praise sharma received when he emerged in the late 90s with prize - winning short stories and then a 2001 debut novel , an obedient father , which won the pen / hemingway award . but the positive response to family life still feels\nalmost as unreal as the book being done ,\nhe says . the intervening period of silence \u2013 although he was named on granta ' s 2007 list of best young american writers \u2013 has not been easy .\nsa re ga ma pa li\u2019l champs season 2 : s . p . balasubrahmanyam to appear as a special guest\nurltoken exclusively reported about abp coming up with a historical fiction show based on post independence india .\nand so on to act in the series and it seems the show continuous with the trend of cashing in great actors .\nthe show which is titled as \u2018idea of india\u2019 will hit the screens sometimes in this month ( june , 2013 ) .\nrefrain from posting comments that are obscene , defamatory or inflammatory , and do not indulge in personal attacks , name calling or inciting hatred against any community . help us delete comments that do not follow these guidelines by marking them offensive . let ' s work together to keep the conversation civil .\nwe have sent you a verification email . to verify , just follow the link in the message\netimes is an entertainment , tv & lifestyle industry ' s promotional website and carries advertorials and native advertising .\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 bennett , coleman & co . ltd . all rights reserved .\nakul balaji is having a blast in amsterdam ; actor shares a video . . .\nex bigg boss kannada contestant niveditha gowda is missing kiccha sudeep ; see the post . . .\nex -

year - old ajay , about to leave his known world for a very different one . writing from a young boy\u2019s perspective allows sharma to explore the sentimentality and melodrama surrounding this departure , without ever succumbing to the saccharine . and so with great ceremony and gravity and then regret , ajay awards his toys to the poor neighbourhood boys queueing for the day\u2019s milk delivery , and soon thereafter leaves for a new life .\nin turn , sharma conjures the seeming marvels of america for the new arrivals \u2013 ajay\u2019s father proudly introduces them to carpeted flooring and hot water on demand while ajay directly discovers the just - as - remarkable delights of snowfall , 1980s television and lobby doors that open automatically . meanwhile , true to indo - american form , ajay\u2019s parents pressure his bright and assured older brother birju to study and study and study . he gets into a prestigious high school , only then to suffer the catastrophic swimming pool injury .\n\u201ci was irritated , \u201d ajay tells us , right after his brother\u2019s accident . \u201cbirju had gotten into the bronx high school of science , and now he was going to get to be in a hospital . i was certain our mother would feel bad for him and give him a gift . \u201d once more , sharma reveals more than his narrator intends by working within the limited circumference of a young person\u2019s view of what is happening around him .\nas the seriousness of birju\u2019s situation becomes clearer , and then all -

styled indian healers to practise their arts on her infirm son ( in vain ) , ajay begins talking to a tree he passes on his way to school . he imagines that the tree is god and that the two of them can negotiate better terms for birju or for ajay , but not for both . the better ajay does in his teenage life \u2013 good grades , a girlfriend who actually wants to kiss him back , a body that works \u2013 the more guilt , and frustration about this guilt , he feels . eventually , he turns to his father for solace . \u201cafter a moment i said , \u2018daddy , i am so sad . \u2019 \u2018you\u2019re sad ? \u2019 my father said angrily , \u2018i want to hang myself every day . \u2019 \u201d\nwhile his resilient mother eventually becomes a figure of spiritual power and authority in their middle -

year - old ajay first learns of the accident , unaware of its gravity , he casually speculates that if birju were dead , \u201ci would get to be the only son . \u201d\nyears pass and birju\u2019s condition remains unchanged . he lies in a bed at home , moaning and puffing spit . ajay prays for countless hours with his parents for his brother\u2019s revival , and feels guilty as he sneaks in a prayer to do well on his math test . his father becomes alcoholic . his mother is consumed by her efforts to \u201cwake\u201d birju . his parents fight , viciously . and in their grief they turn their gaze away from ajay and his need for nurture . they cannot rouse themselves to see how 13 years old he is , how 14 , how 15 . one cheerless christmas day , ajay erupts , sobbing to his parents that he too deserves something , for enduring \u2014 at least some pizza . \u201ci am so sad , \u201d ajay confides to his father one evening . \u201cyou\u2019re sad ? \u201d his father responds ; \u201ci want to hang myself every day . \u201d\n\u201cfamily life\u201d chronicles ajay\u2019s passage through this wreckage . he gets top grades at school . at home he bathes his brother , \u201ccleaning his ass with a bar of soap . \u201d he begins to understand that the difference between his life and his brother\u2019s is permanent . he talks to god ( who looks more like superman than krishna ) about his distress at being the sole recipient of his family\u2019s luck . during a fight with his mother , ajay provokingly strips off his clothes , recalling how , in india , eunuchs did this when begging , to panic onlookers into throwing them money . his mother snaps : \u201cif birju were all right , i would tell you . . . go with your stupid grades and die . \u201d\nsharma ' s second novel , family life , took more than 12 years to write . telling the story of a family wrought by tragedy , it mirrors his own harrowing story\ni remember gary shteyngart saying to me that there was a sense that i was going to be the one , but then i just vanished . i was basically forgotten and would apply for all these jobs or small fellowships and nobody knew who i was . i know careers are based on books , not on getting attention all the time , but to get some attention is also nice .\nbut while the broad facts of that story match those of sharma and his brother anup ' s own lives , finding a way to most effectively tell it proved almost insuperable . from the beginning he was aware that it was\na coming - of - age story , an illness story and the story of a child ' s love for his parents and his brother\n. it is also an immigrant story . and although sharma objects to an\noften racist category that places white people in a separate category from brown and black people , family life is definitely an immigrant novel , and one of its subjects is the indian community in america of which i am tremendously grateful to be a part ,\nhe says .\nbut while it is a very loving community , if you are perceived as being shameful then you are rejected almost immediately . that is seen with alcoholism and other addictions , but also mental illness . my mother would always say my brother was in a coma , a more acceptable phrase than brain - damaged . i think these are things we should acknowledge and deal with as a community and was an aspect i felt was worth representing .\nalthough sharma admits his novel could belong in several literary traditions ,\ni don ' t think it belongs in any one tradition . and it is also technically interesting because it is without much of a plot . something occurs , and then the weight of that causes a bunch of other things . but each thing is not pushing into the next thing , so i read a lot of really great books in trying to find a way to tell my story , a life story , in a way that would hold people ' s interest .\nhe read vs naipaul ' s a house for mr biswas (\na book that gives the ending away\n) ; and proust (\nto my mind the great work of the 20th century , more so than even ulysses\n) to find solutions for his book about remembrance . he also looked at non - fiction memoir ,\nbut none of these allowed for the experience i wanted to generate .\nhis breakthrough was a technical one when he decided to eliminate elements of what he calls\nthe sensorium\nresulting in minimal description of sound , smell , or feel in the novel , elements that sharma says act in a\nsticky\nway on the reader .\nand that ' s why other writers like those elements , that stickiness can be useful in arresting the reader , but in a story not reliant on plot i wanted to remove any sources of friction so as to provide the narrative with more velocity . in technical terms it is the thing i am most proud of .\nwhat has been his parents ' response to a book in which few of the characters come out well ?\nthey haven ' t read it , and i think i would prefer it if they didn ' t . i don ' t see the point of them revisiting these things . we all behaved badly . if i get on a plane i become uncomfortable and irritable . imagine the pressure of spending years of having no money and taking care of someone . you behave badly . you get angry for all sorts of reasons . you become self - destructive . when i asked my father if he wanted to read it he said : ' why ? i was there . ' and he was . we all were .\nof india , and delhi his birthplace , sharma says :\ni used to go back so often , sometimes for three months in the summer , it felt like i never really left . and my family never really became integrated into america because of our crisis . when you are under that sort of enormous strain you are pushed back to your roots , and my parents were pushed back into this world of faith healers and religion , so in a lot of ways i didn ' t feel like i really entered america until i went to college .\nliving in new jersey , he grew up in an openly racist environment\nwith people cursing at us in the street , and being spat at at school . when i entered college , although i didn ' t experience racism , i still didn ' t feel comfortable and wanted to view myself as separate and different . it took quite a long time for me to realise that it was ok , and i didn ' t have to always be on guard .\nafter having virtually no access to books in india , on arriving in america sharma had become a prodigious reader .\ni felt alone and frightened and reading was a little like drinking , you could vanish into it . i also watched lots of tv . it was more artificial , but it was also more manageable than real life , and unsurprisingly as a writer i have always liked , and also felt safe , in a constructed reality .\nwhen he was about 15 sharma started to write short stories \u2013\nplagiarised things from science fiction magazines that i ' d present as my own just to receive attention\n\u2013 and he later obsessively studied a biography of ernest hemingway ,\nwithout reading actual hemingway , but i thought , ' this is how it ' s done . ' i learned very quickly and quite soon was writing decently .\nby the time he won a place at princeton \u2013 he later went on to stanford and harvard law school \u2013 his academic career combined business courses with high - profile writing programmes , although he says at the time he didn ' t properly appreciate the eminence of his teachers .\nbut paul auster then was not paul auster as he is now . even toni morrison was not toni morrison in the way she is now . joyce carol oates was probably the most famous back then .\nhis early ambition was straightforwardly to make money .\ni was writing , but it struck me as foolish to do something that i knew was so unlucrative . i admired and respected writers , but in the same way as i admired and respected social workers . it was not something i wanted to do myself .\nsharma went into investment banking and managed to combine the long hours with producing his early stories and his first novel :\nfrom my childhood i learned that i could eat pain .\nan obedient father , begun when he was 19 , was about a corrupt and sexually abusive civil servant , and was set in india as at that time it was a world he knew better than america . for a while after its successful publication\nmoneymaking and writing lived together just fine , but then it just became too horrible being a banker , and i was happy to get out of there .\na 2001 interview casually mentions his\nnice mid - six - figure\nsalary , but\nas you get older you value different things ,\nhe says .\nrecently a former colleague offered me a job paying more than i used to earn , but you only get one life and we\n\u2013 he is married to a lawyer he met shortly before going to harvard \u2013\nhave enough for what we need ."]}

( rather unfortunately , several reports of the film ' s first screening , previously online at the hong kong standard , have disappeared from the web . ) xie jin ' s own words on the film and its construction are particularly noteworthy .\nthough\npatriotic ,\nthe opium war , is not the propaganda piece some expected . indeed , lead actor pao guoan saw his character , lin zexu , more as anti - drug campaigner than nationalist hero .\nlin wanted to have trade with the west . what he opposed was britain bringing opium into china ,\nhe says . critics remarked on the film ' s perceptive portrait of a corrupt bureaucracy - - something that strikes a chord in present - day china . and that might just be the key to the official slight .\nuk line - producer peng wenlan , also chairperson of the meridian society , will introduce and discuss this film .\nmahoney says the county now has a full time film commissioner whose sole responsibility is to create this industry locally .\nin the end , perhaps it doesn ' t matter whether the film is judged to be propaganda or not . british behavior toward china in the last century was hardly exemplary . and even if the making of ' ' the opium war ' ' were a paragon of objectivity , the act of making and promoting it during the season of hong kong ' s return to chinese sovereignty panders to the nationalistic instinct rising in china . it encourages xenophobia and a dark sense of national grievance .\nthe opium war ,\nnow at the k - b janus , turns out to be a relic as well as curiosity . evidently the first communist chinese dramatic feature to receive regular art - house distribution in this country , the film was made in 1959 and the withdrawn upon the advent of the cultural revolution , possibly in line with a systematic suppression of productions that predated mao ' s new social scheme and possibly because the lead , chao tan , was out of favor with chian ching .\ninstead , the beijing premiere of the opium war was a curiously subdued affair . true , the severe limit on media passes prompted a scramble among journalists and television crews . but in the end , the evening turned out to be a sideshow rather than a gala . though held in the great hall of the people , the screening was shoehorned into a meeting room . instead of guests in their thousands , it was attended by several hundred people , including schoolchildren in the opium war t - shirts . and the only real vip in attendance was foreign minister qian qichen . if the project had received jiang ' s initial backing , signs were that the result disappointed the chinese leadership . though the film had plenty of pre - launch publicity , the premiere received little coverage in the mainland press . this muted response was in stark contrast to the media attention lavished on the opening of red river valley , a staunchly nationalistic movie about tibetan resistance to british colonialists in the 1800s .\ntwo downed u . s . soldiers in rural afghanistan happen upon an opium - producing family living under a soviet tank in \u201copium war , \u201d siddiq barmak\u2019s baffling second feature . as in \u201cosama , \u201d the afghan writer - helmer again uses a non - pro cast , but the result is stifled by poorly written english dialogue and a failure to reconcile apparent realism with occasional [ \u2026 ]\n' ' film has always been a propaganda tool in china under the system where the ministry of propaganda controls everything , ' ' says ye daying , director of ' ' red cherry , ' ' the most popular film produced in china this year , about chinese living in moscow during world war ii .

' '\nto almost everyone ' s surprise , china ' s first blockbuster is a fascinating , multi - faceted journey back to the 19th - century . the opium war , which eventually led to the ceding of hong kong , was an infamous moment in british history . britain ' s war effort was aimed at compelling china to free restrictions on foreign trade - - especially opium imports from colonial india . xie ' s account could have been a simplistic indictment of western imperialism . instead , it is a compelling and sometimes comic chronicle of what was a monumental conflict .\nit ' s impossible to account for the suppression on the mere basis of the movie itself : a pious , stilted patriotic costume drama extolling the character of lin tse hsu , an imperial minister endeavoring to stop the opium trade introduced in canton by british merchants during the 1830s . the film expresses unimpeachably nationalistic sentiments . the only tangible sources plistic , outmoded exposition and poderous pictorial stlye - in short , the pervasive klutziness of it all .\na british foreign trade rep , charles elliot ( british theater actor simon williams ) , arrives to broker a solution that involves the opium being ditched in the sea in a public ceremony and the u . k . government guaranteeing the traders\u2019 money back . as elliot expected , this does not please the politicos back in london , who in 1840 dispatch massive firepower to attack china\u2019s ports , launching the titular war .\nin the 1842 treaty of nanking , the first treaty in the modern history of china , london gained hong kong island as a reparation from the qing court , desperate to stave off escalation of the military conflict then underway . ( the image to the left is a fragment of that treaty . ) one particularly important document which led to the opium war ( and , ultimately , this conference and site ) was drafted over 150 years ago : commissioner lin ' s letter of advice to queen victoria , decrying the evils of britain ' s opium trade with china , and demanding its termination . click here to read that letter .\nafter three years in which it has struggled to define its place on the international calendar , the rome international film festival has charged gian luigi rondi and piera detassis with upgrading the event .\nthe next morning , the popular chinese - language apple daily declared the opium war\na serious production filled with epic and astounding scenes . . . every character was formed by an idea and a motivation .\nin short : thumbs up . the film is filled with dazzling images . there are beautifully recreated 19th - century british warships braving the south china sea and thousands of hard - laboring chinese coolies , queues trailing down sweaty backs . possibly most spectacular is xie ' s recreation of the canton ( now guangzhou ) waterfront . the streets bustle with snake charmers , musicians , dolled - up prostitutes , british merchants and sikh soldiers in white turbans . then there are the languidly evocative opium dens , glowing under lantern light .\nall post - production was done in japan . print caught was rushed to unspool at the cannes market ; a six - track dolby dub is apparently in the works for the film\u2019s release .\nthe film bureau is where the dirty work of censorship is done . the bureau ' s power is all - encompassing , and no director can get through post - production or compete in international film festivals without its approval . but it is rare for a film simply to be shut down . the usual torture is when ' ' they don ' t pass any movie and they don ' t kill any movie , ' ' mr . wang said .\nwho can blame him ? in many ways , the opium war is the crowning achievement of his 54 - year filmmaking career . now xie is pushing for its release in 350 cinemas across china and in 61 countries . and , judging from the response of hong kong audiences and critics , the film should do well . take the charity premiere . three hours of a late - night screening can be exhausting , but most of the audience stayed the course . when they did duck out , it was only for a quick trip to the washroom .\ni didn ' t want to miss any of the action ,\nsays one chinese viewer .\nscreen international is the essential resource for the international film industry . subscribe now for monthly editions , awards season weeklies , access to the screen international archive and supplements including stars of tomorrow and world of locations .\nnow mr . xie , never a darling of the international film set nor a mentor to china ' s film prodigies who followed him , sits in the catbird seat with a $ 10 million epic while many of the most innovative directors are out of work , going abroad or hardly working under the heel of the most tenacious censorship campaign imposed in this decade . even the walt disney company , which has grand expansion plans for china , has run afoul of official views on politics and entertainment because of a subsidiary ' s links to a martin scorsese film on the dalai lama .\nshe says the central new york hub for emerging nano industries , being built right now in the collamer crossings business park , will help attract filmmakers because of the huge film post - production unit it will house .\nmr . jiang , and many other directors , believe that the crackdown on the film industry will last perhaps into the fall of 1997 , when the communist party will hold its 15th party congress . after that , and after the position of china ' s new generation of leaders is more secure , they may loosen up . until then , he said , chinese film makers will bend under the invisible gale of party pressure .\nthe caption says , ' ' xie ' s proposal was encouraged and supported by jiang zemin and ding guangen , minister of propaganda , and president jiang has shown his personal care to the production of the film .

' ' if you don ' t want to compromise , you don ' t make a film , ' ' he explained . ' ' if you want to make a film , the question is how . i try as much as possible to do what i want , and that is why for one year my latest film could not be shown in china ; only after one year and many revisions did it get shown . ' '\nhe and most of his colleagues in the british troupe involved in the film say they are resigned to the fact that they are participating in a project that has a strong propaganda component . ' ' at this point , there is nothing i can do about that , ' ' mr . peck said . ' ' the history is pretty damning , and there are not too many heroes in this film . ' '\ncome over a rise on the dusty dirt road west of this small industrial town near hangzhou , and the scene of the crime suddenly appears : an antique city reflected in a dark lake , built to replicate the waterfront of mid - 19th - century canton , where opium dens and teahouses were the languorous backdrop of a coarser era .\nafter 150 years of british rule , hong kong reverts to chinese sovereignty at midnight on june 30 , 1997 . and on july 1 , mr . xie ' s ' ' opium war ' ' will make its world debut as an unsubtle piece of chinese propaganda dedicated , as his shooting script states , ' ' to a great moment in history , ' ' the return of the emerald city that hong kong has become .\nthat was not a doubt one had about \u201cosama , \u201d where barmak stretched the story of a little girl disguised as a boy without losing believability or emotional touch with his characters . here there is no emotional contact of any kind , just a succession of shameless stereotypes and weird situations . film\u2019s ultimate message may be anything from war is hell to afghanistan is unconquerable .\nwhen two american soldiers find themselves stranded in afghanistan after a helicopter crash , they encounter a local family that lives in the shell of a soviet tank and grows opium to survive . the soldiers now find their lives in the hands of this bickering cast of family members .\nrome ' s audience prize is voted on by regular cinemagoers via a newly installed electronic voting procedure . the system was created by the company is s . p . a . in conjunction with rome ' s cinema foundation . the festival said 64 % of film goers participated in the voting .\nmr . ding , a rising star under president jiang zemin , told studio managers and directors to start making more patriotic films of high quality . directors who tried to avoid censorship or to export their film without permission would be fined as much as 10 times their investment in the film . this amounted to a threat to financially ruin any director who did not put himself in thrall to the propaganda apparatus of the party .\ncostume drama about the war between uk and china that led to britain ' s acquisition of hong kong 157 years ago . supposedly the most expensive movie production in the history of chinese cinema this is a well produced historic drama , if not a bit biased - naturally . not really that suspenseful , but watchable .\nin the brochure that he prepared for potential chinese investors in his film , a large photo shows him standing with president jiang , his longtime friend and patron from shanghai , his hometown . the two are flanked by mr . ding , the propaganda chief , and zeng qinghong , director of the general office of the communist party central committee .\nduring his 2010 vist , cameron wore a poppy in his lapel despite china ' s request he remove it because officials said it reminded them of the opium wars . photograph : frederic j . brown / afp / getty images\nthis moment also places mr . xie in the vanguard of artists willing to stoke the flames of nationalism in the service of the communist party as china reassembles the territories lost in the last century and goes , not so gently , into the new era that will follow the death of deng xiaoping .\nxie wanted to tell\nthe whole story of the opium war ,\nfrom the empress dowager to the common people . he does an impressive job , weaving in a range of reasonably well - conceived characters . there ' s a patriotic prostitute , a qing - era suzie wong , who tries to stab a british client with a pair of scissors . perhaps most moving are the chinese commanders and manchu advisers , fiercely fighting to maintain their country ' s dignity .\nif hong kong is granted to foreigners , i will kill myself before you ,\na geriatric mandarin wails to the emperor . the british characters , however , are mostly caricatures . stereotypically callous , the naval officers are nonchalant as their cannons pound out death and destruction in the ports .\nin one scene that had the audience chuckling , lin gathers the venal chinese bureaucrats in a room and announces :\nwe are all here to meditate for six hours straight .\nlin ' s intention is to weed out the addicts and send them to the gallows . for the first hour , the officials coolly sip their tea and feign meditation . but as a cuckoo clock marks the passing hours , one by one , the officials collapse , shaking and begging for mercy , unable to continue without their sustaining puffs on the opium pipe .\nrome -

catching visuals that recall samira makhmalbaf\u2019s work , this surreal tale of two american soldiers stuck in the desert with a family of impoverished afghan nomads is pointless and more than a little offensive . it is so alarmingly off -

century china\u2019s development , given h . k . \u2019s subsequent success \u2014 and in that respect the movie arrives with official fingerprints all over it . the surprise is that it\u2019s not simply a slice of xenophobia , and is comparatively even - handed in its treatment of both sides .\nsome directors report that state - controlled film studios were hit last spring with a wave of personnel changes . more ideological managers replaced those deemed lacking in socialist enthusiasm . at the same time , censors simply stopped approving scripts and started holding up films already in the censorship pipeline .\nzhang yimou , a fifth generation film maker whose ' ' raise the red lantern ' ' has been accused of pandering to western tastes , said , ' ' the changsha conference made it clear that there would have to be a number of patriotic films made every year . ' '\n' ' they just killed my film , ' ' he said , shaking his head , in a conversation over coffee at a west beijing hotel . ' ' this is the first time that a movie is killed in the process of making it . my investors are crying . ' '\nthe film was shot in the hengdian world studios in zhejiang province , a common filming site for historical films which has been dubbed\nchinawood .\nin order to recreate the streets of 19th - century guangzhou , nearly 120 construction teams from surrounding villages were assembled . in contrast , nearly all post - production took place in japan .\nat 73 , xie jin ( pronounced syee - eh jeen ) is almost unknown in the west ; he made his name largely inside china , playing to domestic audiences with sentimental films about the suffering of the common man , though he was always scrupulous not to blame the communist party or any of its leaders . mr . xie never pushed the limits of his craft like the younger , so - called fifth generation directors , who emerged from film school as china was emerging from the chaos of the cultural revolution and mao zedong ' s last decade in power .\n' ' i think the movie is just and objective , ' ' mr . xie said at the end of a day of shooting , before he uncorked a bottle of fiery white liquor for his late - night meeting to plan the next day ' s shooting . ' ' this was the biggest drug trade in world history and some british people say it is a shame that they sold opium to china . ' '\nwhat\nlins tse - hsu\nconspicuously lacks is adequate dramatization of this intriguing outline . in part the filmmakers seem inhibited by deliberate chauvinistic obfuscation . the british are depicted as leering , cringing villains , and their forces are last seen beating a hasty retreat from the rocks and spears of lin ' s stalwart militia . in fact , lin ' s mission was a temporary triumph at best . the british imposed their will during this period of history and one of the things imperial china lost as a conswquence of the wars provoked by the opium trade was hong kong .\nwith captions bridging the gaps , the team of four scripters have distilled events into a workable format that can be followed easily by first - timers . starting in 1838 , the story spins round a viceroy , lin zexu ( bao guoan ) , who\u2019s dispatched to guangzhou ( canton ) by the qing court to put an end to british traders\u2019 mass selling of opium , which is enfeebling the population . chief among the traders is denton ( bob peck ) , of the powerful east india co . , who arrives at the home of an old friend , he ( sihung lung ) , and soon finds himself blockaded and he thrown into prison by the incorruptible , fiercely nationalist lin .\n' ' the operations of the film bureau have almost come to a halt , ' ' said wang shuo , one of china ' s most popular novelists . his earthy stories were headed for the screen until last spring . ' ' people have been waiting months for scripts to be cleared , but they just sit there , ' ' mr . wang said .\nwhat seems to most entrance barmak are the visual possibilities offered by the stunning afghan desert and its waving fields of pain - killing poppies , dramatically photographed by georgi dzulaiev . at one point , a column of identically - dressed women in burkas gracefully glides across the sands , only to reveal themselves as bearded opium smugglers with hidden kalashnikovs . why hide in the middle of the desert ? later , identically dressed soldiers wearing sunglasses appear out of nowhere accompanied by donkeys and ballot boxes , bringing \u201cdemocracy\u201d to the illiterate nomads . but long before then , most of the audience will have given up in despair .\namuch - hyped , long - planned project with a clear political message ,\nthe opium war\nis a consistently eye - pleasing historical costumer that ' s a superior example of its type without moving any mountains . further reduction of the running time to the two - hour mark would help its chances in western markets , though its best bet lies in the six - episode , six - hour tv miniseries to be hewn from the mountain of footage . the reportedly $ 15 million pic has so far been sold in east asia ( at record prices ) , and will open in china and hong kong on july 1 , when the latter territory reverts to mainland rule . the movie is in every respect a major improvement on the previous chinese treatment of the subject , the stodgy ' 50s\nlin zexu ,\nand veteran mainland director xie jin (\ntwo stage sisters ,\nhibiscus town\n) has come up with some moments of fine drama between the regulation historical stuff that such large - scale costumers are heir to . hong kong director ann hui , billed as an associate producer , helped out on the action scenes , and senior taiwan helmer lee hsing was a consultant on the project , which also uses some taiwan - based actors .\nhome | film / media | tour | themes | chronology | readings / links | site map | chinese frontline | itvs | center for asian american media | pbs \u00a9 long bow group , inc . all rights reserved .\nonondaga county executive joanie mahoney tells newschannel 9 ,\nall of the locations have been chosen , people are prepared , so when they come they ' ll be able to film the whole movie in about eight weeks , but all of those people in town it ' s a benefit to us to make more of this happen .\nstill , xie ' s expensive history lesson did hit home with many british members of the audience .\nthere really is no excuse for what my country did ,\noffers one businessman as he leaves the cinema .\nthis film certainly made that abundantly clear - - not only in black and white but in technicolor .\na century and a half after the fact , perhaps concessions like this are the greatest victory for director xie .\nwe have not verified that the email belongs to you . please check your inbox for the verification email .\nhis comedy , ' ' an awkward life , ' ' was in midproduction when censors at the ministry of radio , television and film , which reports to the minister of propaganda , simply ordered shooting to stop . even his novels have disappeared from book stalls . mr . wang believes that in the wake of the changsha conference , censors feared they would be rebuked by party leaders if they allowed his story of an adulterous love triangle to be filmed .\nresolution 819 , also a rome world premiere , is a french - polish - italian co - production about a volunteer french police officer that heads out to srebrenica to research evidence of genocide . receiving his award , battiato said , ' part of this money will go to the refugees , and another part will go into the next film . '\nto promote inter - disciplinary research in social sciences and humanities from both the perspectives of the east and west .\nthe giveaway that this is a movie set is the cranes , the reflectors , the megaphones barking at hundreds of extras , and , in the midst of it all , xie jin , the director , in coolie chic : a broad peasant hat to shade his ample girth , which is covered by a chinese tunic with cut - off sleeves , shorts and beat - up nikes . he is trying to convey to a group of british actors , through an interpreter , that they should accentuate the imagery of their evil , their conniving and their inhumanity toward the chinese , whom they are poisoning with opium in the name of british mercantilism . when they get it right , he nods enthusiastically and says , ' ' hao , hao , hao ! ' ' ( ' ' good , good , good ! ' ' ) the interpreter interprets : ' ' director xie says the performance is good . ' '\nthe film opened to much buzz in hong kong with three well - attended premieres . shanghai - based xie flew in for the events , as did several of the film ' s taiwan and chinese actors . popular charity operation smile , which operates in china , sponsored a gala attended by more than 300 celebrities and moneyed locals . among them : former chief secretary sir david akers - jones , socialite fund - raiser alice chiu , art - house filmmaker wong kar wai and a bevy of television stars . xie , 73 , in a slightly crumpled suit , thick glasses and a giant corsage pinned to his lapel , looked distinctly mainland - like - - and proud .\nnever mind that her rejection is out of character for an opium tart who plied her trade in those long , low stretches of vice that canton had become by 1840 . one can imagine that next year , when she is forced to submit to british lasciviousness on the big screen , all of china will feel her shame through xie jin ' s lens .\nmr . ye , the son of a senior space scientist , grew up in the bosom of the party , so his bluntness about censorship is surprising ; his words probably reflect the views of many directors who chafe under the new regimen but are unwilling to express them so candidly in public .\nsome advance reviews had me aniticioationg breathtaking vistas of the forhidden city and the great wall and canton . those scenic wonders turn cut ot be fleeting at best , and two decades in the vault has done nothing to enhance the movie ' s colour , which looks as faded as the color in a typical theatrical print of american films of the same vintage .\nlike virtually every movie ,\nlin tse - hsu\nreveals interesting things about the culture that spawned it , but it ' s difficult to greet this 20 - year - old mediocrity as a major culture revelation . perhaps the import of earlier and later chinese features will put it all in perspective . in the meantime one can ' t help wondering what sent\nlin tse - hsu\nto the head of the american import line . it must have been either the drug angle or the fact that the british are the bad guys .\nthe story of two men , who met as apprentices in the peking opera , and stayed friends for over 50 years .\nread stories based on reporting for \u201ctrump revealed , \u201d a broad , comprehensive biography of the life of the 45th president .\nbao humanizes the character of the upright lin zexu as much as possible , but the main acting honors on the chinese side go to lin liankun as qi , a performance that\u2019s a clever , and sometimes humorous , mixture of duplicity and ignorance , and to su min as the ruthless but realistic emperor daoguang . among the brits , peck steals the show in several acting set pieces as the bottom - line denton , with williams gradually shading his playing as the snooty elliot . several other actors , including corin redgrave and nigel davenport , pop up in minor roles .\na white officer , don johnson ( peter bussian ) , and his black subordinate , joe ( joe suba ) , crawl out of their helicopter into a poppy field in northern afghanistan . in one of pic\u2019s many cliches , johnson is a smart brute , while joe , from harlem , isn\u2019t knowledgeable about anything except opium . however , their continuous bickering pales in comparison to the goings - on in the clan of the local one - legged patriarch ( hamid hozouri ) , who owns the field . \u201cosama\u201d protag marina golbahari ( who also did continuity duty ) co - stars as a mad member of the barmy family . some striking visual compositions and a locally flavored score are the only standout tech contributions .\nlewi is a consortium of 28 universities from north america , europe and asia . the institute , with hong kong baptist university ( hkbu ) as the host institution and base , was established in 1993 with the aim to foster inter - disciplinary social science and humanities research and cultivate collaborative scholarship between the east and the west .\nbob peck , who played the dinosaur keeper in ' ' jurassic park , ' ' helped mr . xie create the denton character .\nbuzzing comedies such as the spy who dumped me await you in our summer movie guide . check in for all the info you need .\nparty bosses want to be seen as protecting the motherland from ' ' splittists ' ' in tibet , ' ' separatists ' ' in taiwan and pro - democracy ' ' counterrevolutionaries ' ' everywhere . the masses may not fully approve of the communist regime , which is still judged to be corrupt and incompetent in much of the country , but their patriotism is resonant with the themes and slogans the government is articulating .\nno matter . public reception promises to be much warmer . at an earlier promotional event , movie buffs were out in force to snap up signed copies of commemorative picture books . there was plenty of other memorabilia : coffee mugs , stamps . even scripts . clearly , merchandising is one area where the film is breaking new ground . and if it scores at the box office , director xie may well have set a marketing trend for chinese movies ."]}

action movie .\nby the time mr . dempsey , drenched and sputtering like rain man after a few hours in a sweat lodge , discovers that the heists have been set up by a criminal mastermind named marcellus drum who wants everyone else dead and who numbers among the survivors in the bank ( \u201cdon\u2019t you see ? the money\u2019s like flypaper ! \u201d tripp exclaims , seemingly gleeful that he has uncovered the mystery of the title ) , it\u2019s hard to work up any enthusiasm over whodunit . it doesn\u2019t help that in lieu of real storytelling , mr . minkoff relies on a hodge - podge of flashbacks in which various characters theorize as to who the killer might be , and it doesn\u2019t matter anyway , since none of the characters has been developed enough to make a convincing puppet master . the climactic reveal is suitably disappointing , and the final scene in which ( spoiler alert ? ) tripp and kaitlin ride off into the sunset is a big , hackneyed yawn\u2014even with a weak twist ending thrown in for good measure .\na while ago , garry and i watched what is i am sure among the lowest grossing movies of all time . i don\u2019t say this lightly . in its theatrical run , it grossed exactly ( according to both wikipedia and imdb ) $ 1100 , which even in our world is not a huge amount of money . no , there aren\u2019t any zeroes missing . that\u2019s the real number .\ngarry didn\u2019t recognize it , so he recorded it on the bedroom dvr . a couple of nights ago , while i was reading in bed ( my favorite indulgence ) , i noticed the bed was shaking . he was laughing . really laughing . garry doesn\u2019t normally lay in bed laughing . he told me that he was going to save this one because he thought i\u2019d like it . as a rule , there are a lot of things i find funny that he doesn\u2019t think are amusing , but never has the reverse been true . if he thinks its funny , it\u2019s funny .\nthe cast features ashley judd and patrick dempsey . it\u2019s directed by rob minkoff . the writers were the same guys who created the characters from the hangover . rob minkoff is known for co -

fashioned , but it bothers me .\nwhen i read movie reviews , i frequently wonder if the reviewer watched the same movie i did . or watched any movie at all . they heap praise on movies that are boring and sometimes much worse than that . they pan movies that are creative , unique and interesting . they apparently take special pleasure in negative reviews , the more vicious the better . meanwhile , they glorify obscure movies in which no one could possibly be interested .\nback in 1999 , garry and i were visiting friends in michigan . our group consisted of a lawyer , an engineer , a tv journalist , and a writer . we decided to rent the latest movie on which critics were heaping praise . it was the must -

ass naked .\nabout half an hour into the movie , our little group of well - read individualists looked at each other and briefly conferred . was anyone enjoying it ? no ? then why were we watching it ? we promptly popped the movie out of the machine and moved on with our evening . pop corn goes well with conversation , too .\nit reminds me of the woody allen movie hollywood ending . in it , a formerly prestigious director is broke and desperate for a movie project . he gets an offer to direct a big movie in new york . because the offer comes from his former wife ( t\u00e9a leoni ) and her current boyfriend ( treat williams ) , he is reluctant to take the assignment , even though he needs the money and something to get his career on track .\nhe finally agrees to do it and is immediately struck blind by some kind of psychosomatic ailment probably induced by anxiety . the production hasn\u2019t even started yet , but he decides to fake it . it costs $ 60 million and flops . but , there is a \u201chollywood ending . \u201d the movie becomes a huge hit in france . he happily proclaims , \u201cthank god the french exist . \u201d he knows the movie is awful , the worst thing he\u2019s ever done . he had no idea what he was doing , but the french read all kinds of deep meaning into it . there will always be people to love things that don\u2019t make sense because they figure it must be full of secret meaning . i went to school with these people . didn\u2019t we all ?\nour favorite bit of dialogue is between two of the older bank robbers complaining that they miss the good old days when all you needed was a gun and a brown paper bag . this in the midst of what could only be called the most catastrophically unsuccessful bank heist ever attempted .\nthe ending is predictable \u2026 or maybe not . it depends how your mind works . if you bump into it on cable or somewhere , give it a look . it\u2019s pretty good . really . i\u2019m not kidding . i did watch it , including the credits .\navailable from amazon on dvd , blu -

brahmin house . he then sets some hay on fire and tells the villages its the gods disapproval of these two crimes . he assembles a parade of villagers towards balu ( sathyaraj ) s house with weapons , and they demand that balu kick out amala from his home . balu refuses , a fight breaks out , and in the ensuing scuffle , he is stabbed and dies . his final request is for the villagers to live in unity , and not let caste divide them . in the poignant and controversial closing scene , sankara the young boy , who has now lost two fathers , is seen alone in the twilight hour of the holy sandhya ritual , removing his brahminical sacred thread ( invested only upon the upper castes ) and immersing it in a nearby stream , disgusted with , and in open defiance of the hypocrisies of strict brahminical casteist beliefs , while performing the last funeral rites of balu thevar as though he were his own son .\npopular : trivia , history , america , television , tv , usa , world , geography , . . . more\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nthis is one of the few films that highlights some of the issues caused by the caste system . the film ' s narrative was seamless and starred sathyaraj as balu thevar . it contains some of bharathiraja ' s trademark directorial touches as well as a lot of path breaking scenes , along with kannan ' s powerful dialogues .\na young upper -

pen drawing by artist anikartick , chennai , tamil nadu , india by artist anikartick , chennai ( t . subbulapuram vasu )\np . bharathiraja ( tamil : \u0baa\u0bbf . \u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b9c\u0bbe ; born 17 july 1941 ) is a south indian filmmaker who works mainly in the tamil film industry . bharathiraja displayed a story - teller ' s potential from an early age . he is known for his realistic and sensitive portrayal of village - life in his movies .\nbharathiraja started his film career as an assistant to director and actor ' s p . pullaiya , malayalam filmmaker krishnan nair [ 4 ] and kannada filmmaker puttanna kanagal . [ 5 ] he also worked with krishnan nair , avinasi mani and a . jaganathan , he learned the grammar of film - making and got his first directorial opportunity in 1977 . his first film 16 vayathinile for which he wrote the script broke the then existing convention to create a new genre of village cinema . the movie is now regarded as a game - changer and a mile - stone in the modern history of tamil cinema . about the movie , said bharathirajaa in his own words ,\nthis movie was meant to be black and white art film produced with the help of national film development corporation\n, but turned out to be a commercially successful color film and a starting point for several important careers . [ 6 ]\nhis next film kizhake pogum rail produced similar results and eventually brought in criticisms that bharathiraja was capable of catering only to village audiences . this led him to make sigappu rojakkal , about a psychopathic woman hater that was totally westernized in terms of both conception and production . [ 7 ] but contrary to what several observers expected , this film met with box office success and everyone agreed that bharathiraja was here to stay .\nbharathiraja confirmed his versatility and refusal to be tied down to one particular genre with an experimental film nizhalgal and an action thriller tik tik tik . but , undoubtedly rural themes proved to be his forte as his biggest hits in the 1980s alaigal oivadhillai , mann vasanai and muthal mariyathai were strong love stories in a village backdrop . muthal mariyathai starred veteran actor sivaji ganesan in the lead , playing a middle - aged village head . radha is a poor young woman who moves into his village for a living . the love that bonds these two humans separated not just by age but also by caste and class , is told by bharathiraja with poetic touches .

smelling indoor sets to a refreshingly rural environment .\n\u201cyes , i infused life [ into tamil cinema ] . my characters were not from an alien world . they were just you and me portraying life\u2019s agonies and ecstasies , \u201d says bharathiraja , alias p . chinnasamy , who hails from allinagaram village in theni district , tamil nadu .\nbharathiraja\u2019s forte was the portrayal of the predicaments of simple people in idyllic , rural environments and it turned the established traditions of tamil cinema upside down . his camera was equally adept at capturing the superficial sophistication of the elite .\nthis versatility enriched tamil movies like never before . \u201cwith m . g . ramachandran and sivaji ganesan sharing all the tamil fans between themselves , we were left with very little space and it almost choked us . in fact , it prompted us to experiment creatively to get us noticed in the industry , \u201d bharathiraja says .\nbharathiraja survived by striking a chord in the rural audience . for the first time in tamil cinema history , the man - behind - the - camera emerged as hero though a few others , including k . balachander , had made a name for themselves .\non the appearance of the title card in which bharathiraja addresses the audience , calling them in his booming voice \u201cen iniya thamizh makkale\u201d ( my sweet tamil people ) , the audience would erupt in roaring applause . \u201cthe audience had started looking for the names of directors , choreographers , cinematographers and editors in title cards , \u201d he says with a smile .\nthe success of his maiden venture 16 vayathinile made him the toast of kollywood overnight . the film was to be made in black and white by the national film development corporation . \u201cbut it backed out at the last minute without giving a reason , \u201d he says .\nundeterred , bharathiraja went ahead with the film , shooting for the first time in natural light and in the pristine environment of mist - clad mountains and sparkling streams , taking the viewers closer to their rural roots . he did not hesitate to tackle serious social issues such as female infanticide ( karuthamma ) , casteism ( vedam puthithu ) or unemployment ( nizhalgal ) .\nbut nizhalgal had a few flaws too , he concedes . \u201ci had described failure in detail instead of [ showing ] optimism . the raw tragedy that unfolded at the end was too scary . the audience had to leave the theatre disturbed as it was a painful rendition of death and decay . i should have handled it sensitively and maturely , \u201d he says . comparing it to veteran balachander\u2019s varumaiyin niram sigappu , he says it was a mature treatment of a sensitive subject which conveyed a sense of optimism .\nbut , according to critics , it was bharathiraja\u2019s achievements that jolted balachander and a host of other directors then to give their best . and , to the delight of tamil movie buffs , this healthy competition brought the best out of the two big \u201cb\u201ds\u2014balachander and bharathiraja\u2014at a time when hindi blockbusters had started flooding the tamil screen .\n\u201cthe audience had started believing that i could handle any subject , from the exploits of a psychopath killer in sigappu rojakkal to a glossy thriller in tik , tik , tik , to a serious experimental movie such as nizhalgal , to pristine love tales in kizhake pogum rail and mann vasanai , to serious socials like puthumai penn , anthimantharai and kizhakku cheemayile , \u201d he says . mudhal mariyadhai , a gentle and mature love story between a village belle ( radha ) and a respectable , middle - aged village head ( sivaji ganesan ) , he says , is his magnum opus . \u201csivaji was a director\u2019s delight and a phenomenon , \u201d he says .\nbut failure began stalking him in the late 1990s . his critics say his persistence with rural themes is one of the reasons . his 50th film , annakodi , is again a village - centric love story that has many similarities with 16 vayathinile , they point out . he did try to prop up his sagging fortunes by giving a few commercial hits like kodi parakkuthu with rajinikanth and bommalattam with nana patekar and arjun in the lead .\nbut neither failure nor success has had an impact on him . \u201cfailures cannot destroy me . i learn from them . successes prompt me to strive for perfection , \u201d he says . he says he has never played the caste card \u201cexplicitly in any of my ventures as a few of today\u2019s directors do . i am a creative artist\u201d . vedam puthithu is about an inter - caste love affair between a brahmin girl and a thevar youth while kizhake pogum rail was about a village hairdresser falling in love with a caste hindu girl . in alaigal oivathillai , a christian girl elopes with a brahmin boy .\n\u201cin all these films i have made \u2018love\u2019 the protagonist and not caste or character . i was extremely careful not to mention directly any caste or religion . \u201d he is of the opinion that creativity cannot be put into such narrow social confines .\nthe successful trio of bharathiraja , ilayaraja and vairamuthu , despite many hits to their credit , had to part ways to \u201csurvive and prove our individual mettle\u201d . \u201cour originality got hopelessly submerged in our collective creativity . hence , we parted ways and we have no regrets today , \u201d he says .\nhe is competing against a third generation of directors today . \u201ctheir innovative ideas simply amaze me . \u201d digital technology is giving them an edge , he says . tamil cinema , he feels , is undergoing yet another transformation as young artists and directors make their mark . \u201cbut i am also in the field , a part of it , \u201d he says . \u201ci am making the kind of films i have always wanted to . i have no regrets . \u201d he is already on to his next project and his journey is one that few directors have made .\nacross the world , big business attributes the loss of legitimacy of neoliberalism to corruption , impunity and the inability to combat crime rather than the marginalising and exclusionary effects of neoliberalism itself .\ndifferences between the government and the sangh parivar over privatisation and corporatisation may be holding up the new education policy four years into the narendra modi government .\n\u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b9c\u0bbe ; born 17 july 1941 ) is a south indian filmmaker who works mainly in the tamil film industry .\nhe has won six national film awards , two tamil nadu state film awards and is also a recipient of other awards such as filmfare awards south , cinema express awards and nandi awards . bharathiraja started his film career as an assistant to director p .\njaganathan , he learned the grammar of film - making and got his first directorial opportunity in 1977 .\nhis first film 16 vayathinile for which he wrote the script broke the then existing convention to create a new genre of village cinema .\nthe movie is now regarded as a game - changer and a mile - stone in the modern history of tamil cinema .\nabout the movie , said bharathirajaa in his own words ,\nthis movie was meant to be black and white art film produced with the help of national film development corporation\n, but turned out to be a commercially successful color film and a starting point for several important careers . his next film kizhakke pogum rail produced similar results and eventually brought in criticisms that bharathiraja was capable of catering only to village audiences .\nthis led him to make sigappu rojakkal , about a psychopathic woman hater that was totally westernized in terms of both conception and production .\nbut contrary to what several observers expected , this film met with box office success and everyone agreed that bharathiraja was here to stay . bharathiraja confirmed his versatility and refusal to be tied down to one particular genre with an experimental film nizhalgal and an action thriller tik tik tik .\nbut , undoubtedly rural themes proved to be his forte as his biggest hits in the 1980s alaigal oivadhillai , mann vasanai and muthal mariyathai were strong love stories in a village backdrop .\nmuthal mariyathai starred veteran actor sivaji ganesan in the lead , playing a middle -

brahmin trend common in tamil films \u2013 in this respect it departed from his earlier success , alaigal oiyvadhillai , where the caste and religion factor was given a more balanced treatment .\nthe commercial success of kizhakku cheemaiyile and the awards karuththamma garnered stand as testimony for his ability to thrill the younger generation as well .\nbharathiraja was on the same stage in 1996 to receive another national award for anthimanthaarai . he has plans of making short films with varying themes to attract the international audience and has currently completed his latest venture kadal pookal and picked up a national award for the best screenplay writer for the same film .\nthe well -

go - lucky life with his eight siblings and a doting mother . he ' s in love with his cousin selvi , and their marriage has the sanction , more - or - less , of the adults of the family . much - maligned for loafing about for years , annamalai suddenly changes his lifestyle and earns the goodwill of selvi ' s father but just when everything seems set for a good life , he ' s accused of theft .\nthe settings and characters are extremely realistic , which is what you only expect of a thankar movie but it ' s equally obvious that there ' s precious little in the story that can be drawn out for almost three hours . characters change themselves at the drop of a hat , the narration is choppy and you wonder what happened to the finesse that ' s usually a part of his work . the story also revolves around a mystery , almost a whodunit - - except that you know what ' s going to happen right at the very end . but what truly sinks the movie is the melodrama which drags on and on .\nshantanoo , given that he ' s presented with an opportunity to actually prove himself in a rustic role , does work hard , but can ' t rid himself of hamming .\niniya looks very pretty and cries well too -

stuck - in - the - cans \u2018kalavaadiya pozhudhugal\u2019 ( starring prakash raj , prabhu deva and bhumika chawla ) . strange choice for composer , this time !\nwhat kind of a review is this ? have you heard all the songs ? instead of dissecting the songs you have just given a one line statement demeaning the man\u2019s work ! i just heard all the tracks and each one is unique and shows the versatality of the music director . it is music which touches the soul and will be proven once the music releases .\nw . r . t the comment below , music has no language ! just like how rehman has scored for other languages other than tamil , why can\u2019t someone else score for a tamil film ? it is time we got out of this narrow minded mentaility and opened our minds in this changing world .\nsorry \u2013 i should have added some context to thangar roping in a new composer and my comment on it . thangar bachan has always been a staunch supporter of tamil artists and tamil pride . so it is rather surprising that he actually someone from outside tamil nadu for this project . not that there\u2019s anything wrong with it \u2013 just surprising , given his past utterances on this subject .\non the other point \u2013 about my opinion on this soundtrack\u2026 it remains the same . not demeaning it , but i can\u2019t wax eloquent on it either , since that would be against my conscience . you just have to live with the fact that there is at least one person whose soul has not been touched with this soundtrack / these songs .\nporkkalam was purely director\u2019s show . bandi sarojkumar is a one man army . you can sense his style of cinematography and music in asthamanam too similar to his 1st movie porkalam , with a different set of technical crew for his 1st movie . i also follow bandi\u2019s interviews which are very informative and knowledgeable , which express his strength towards technical aspects . so i strongly feel rohit will have nothing to get compared with porkkalam . this must be his actual potential though . but i respect thangar bachan sir for his off -

professionals , clement tells the story of french railway workers who bravely battle the nazis on many fronts , aiding the allied invasion of 1944 . legendary cameraman henri alekan ( beauty and the beast ) , himself a resistance fighter who escaped nazi pow camps , shot the film in a gritty , semi - documentary style .\nit packs in a lot to its 90 minutes running time , but it ' s an entertaining and even thoughtful little film that only really lets itself down with its surely by 1975 outmoded whooping injun portrayal . a very pleasant surprise , though ,\nalistair maclean has always been one of my favorite authors , dating back to my high - school days in the mid - ' 60s . he has written many outstanding books , and many films have been made from them . too many times , however , the title is the only thing that remains the same . not in this case , however . either maclean himself was involved with this film , or the director actually read the book first before starting , as this film is faithful to the book . a rarity indeed .\nblu - ray extras include two making - of featurettes ; deleted scenes ; an on - set documentary ; an interview with philosopher slavoj \u017ei\u017eek about the movie ' s social and political themes ; and carlos cuar\u00f3n ' s 2002 short film , you owe me one .\none of my early introductions to charles bronson was in death wish iii . i ' m not sure if i ' d seen the other two films yet , but it made no difference really in terms of me loving this overblown sequel . one thing i loved about it was seeing ed lauter as a hard - nosed cop who ends up teaming with bronson to fight a riot filled city full of scumbags . lauter and bronson had a great chemistry together there , but i had no idea they ' d worked together before . a few times actually . breakheart was perhaps their first film together , followed by the white buffalo and death hunt prior to death wish iii .\nthe film ' s title silver streak was inspired by the chicago , burlington & quincy ( cb & q ) railroad ' s pioneer zephyr , nicknamed\nsilver streak\nfor its stainless steel construction and 13 hour and 5 minute speed record between denver and chicago in 1934 .\npeople come from all over to experience the sundance film festival , held annually in january . many of the biggest names in filmmaking got their breaks while debuting here in utah . sundance has made indies into blockbusters over night , and it all happens right here , every year .\none thing i neglected to mention is the music in the film . that ' s nearly a travesty because the score was done by the great jerry goldsmith . it has an interesting western instrumentation to it and a rollicking adventurey vibe . check out the main title for a sample :\nthe affable johnson , who made many friends during the weeks at lewiston last year , was given a special honor when a film clip from\nthe last picture show ,\nwhich won him an academy award for the best supporting actor , was run prior to the regular movie .\nnot that contacts here have been purely mercenary . in fact , many residents offered to work free as extras or assist in other ways just for the thrill of working on a movie . however , the film company says it has insisted on paying everyone something in accordance with union regulations .\nthe train station at the beginning of the film , identified as geneva , was actually filmed at basel , switzerland . exterior scenes of the train were filmed in italy , france , and switzerland with multiple electric and diesel locomotives . interior shots were filmed at a studio in rome , italy .\nreally , that description doesn ' t come close to describing many of the things going on here . it really is a surprisingly intricately plotted film courtesy of the pen of alistair maclean that ends up being far more than just a train - based mystery thriller as well . in fact , the only thing that happens in the film that you would expect to happen is the obligatory train - top fight - but even during that bronson pulls out , and i ' m not joking , a drop - kick that ricky ' the dragon ' steamboat would have been proud of in his prime .\nfilming locations : exterior scenes feature the 20th century limited ( specifically car # 10006 ) , though the interior shots of dining and sleeping cars were filmed at an mgm soundstage . station scenes include lasalle street station ( chicago ) and grand central station ( new york city ) . the final scene was filmed at the west portal of southern pacific ( now union pacific ) tunnel # 26 in santa susana pass near los angeles .\nsynopsis : polish director krzysztof kieslowski weaves a fascinating tale of fate that draws the curtain back on life in communist poland circa 1980 . the film plays out three possible life scenarios for a disillusioned young man named witek ( boguslaw linda ) , all depending on whether he catches a certain train to warsaw .\nbsx records presents here for the first time the complete lifeforce score . in this case , it means not only the score provided by henry mancini , but the additional music required after the film was truncated and re - edited . the latter was composed by michael kamen and appears hear apart from the film for the first time . the album , and subsequent cd release on varese sarabande attempted to arrange the score in segments like a large tone poem and was one of the most satisfying releases in varese\u2019s catalogue . if you missed out , bsx has included that complete release at the end of disc two .\neven now that the filming is all over with , things will never return to normal for marcia williams and peter mcwhorter . miss williams was working at the ponderosa lewis\u2010clark motor inn fax lewiston when mr . mcwhorter , the production crew caterer , arrived with the rest of the film company feb . 7 .\nfilming locations : the film was shot in british columbia , where a\nlac des arcs\ntrain station was built along the tracks specifically for the film . the train consisted of a british columbia railway ( bc rail ) sd40 -

fraternity member , decides to take revenge on the partying students by killing them off one by one in increasingly grisly fashion .\nas a result , it feels like a movie out of its time \u2013 a commercial western -

time rail employees ( michael stipe of r . e . m . and henry gibson of magnolia ) .\nthe train wreck sequence was filmed using a mock - up engine and station at burbank airport . however , the approach to the crash was filmed using a hi - rail truck on track # 2 at north western station ( now ogilvie transportation center ) in chicago . inclusion of this scene caused amtrak to withdraw from the film , pushing much of the filming to canada .\nthis was by no stretch a great film , but it ' s a very fun film on par with death hunt and many other bronson actioners . it ' s lacking a bit of the humor and dazzle of the similar but superior emperor of the north , but as an action western with a bit of mystery , a bit of gun play , a bit of bodies plummeting from high bridges and tons of train porn , it does not disappoint . the cast is surprisingly stacked and the cinematography is more handsome than it has to be , capturing the snowy west beautifully . the title is hogwash and just silly to say aloud , but for bronson fans , 70s action fans , western completists , definitely seek it out . it ' s on netflix .\nhowever , mr . gibbs did have a bad moment recently . because his house appears in film shots , the movie company repaneled part of the exterior free of charge . the other day the local assessor dropped by to watch the filmmaking and mr . gibbs was terrified he would see the improvement and raise the farm ' s taxes . the assessor , however , ignored it .\none thing at which film score collectors of a certain age will raise a wry smile is the little suspense motif that runs through some of the score -

staged action . the entertainment value was enhanced by both the solid cast and - especially - jerry goldsmith ' s score , at the heart of which is the rousing main theme that also appears later in different arrangements . the other tracks convey suspense , tension , danger and romance as needed to support what ' s happening on the screen at the time . a highly recommended soundtrack .\nthis fellow , played by mr . bronson , seems already to have passed through his own time into history . the great physique is no longer young , but it is more powerful than ever , as if transfused by age with some kind of supervigor that affects brain as well as brawn . needless to say , he is the film ' s hero\u2010figure , but how he assumes the role is the point of the screenplay ' s twists that owe more to agatha christie than to zane grey .\nsynopsis : a group of four men assault a train station clerk , then rob a train where they take the money and shoot a passenger . once the clerk is discovered tied up at the station , the sheriff and his men begin a hunt for the bandits . this 1903 film uses simple editing techniques ( each scene is a single shot ) and the story is mostly linear ( with only a few\nmeanwhile\nmoments ) but it represents a significant step in movie making , being one of the first\nnarrative\nmovies .\nsherman and a colleague arrive at a warehouse ( run by morgenstern but without his partner mugenthaler who only appears in the book ) where the drugs are being distributed . there he meets van gelder and his niece . he finds out that they are part of the trafficking gang and that trudi had been faking her mental disability . a shootout leaves trudi dead and sherman wounded . van gelder tries to escape , but is killed by sherman ( again a discrepancy in that he falls to his death in the film but is skewered on a hook in the book ) .\nthe recording here is a bit muddier than that for the mancini score and seems to have more source deterioration . it works less separately from the film , but oddly those familiar with the accompanying visuals will remember this music . while the re -

oiled machine\nthey have at smallville .\nit was actually the first day that they started back . even with a 3 - month break or whatever it is , they just jump right back in . so it was great ,\nhe said .\nthe series also gave ashmore a chance to play two different versions of the character when a magically imbued object in the mystical warehouse split jinks into two . \u201cit was interesting to shoot because you\u2019re literally playing one very stern grumpy version of the character , and the other half is this flamboyantly gay version of him , \u201d remembers ashmore . \u201cthe idea is if you mix them together you get who steve is . but when they\u2019re separated , they\u2019re just polar opposites . getting to play both of them and interact with myself through a green screen was really fun . \u201d\n\u201ci thought he was an interesting character because he wasn\u2019t your stereotypically calm or centered buddhist , \u201d ashmore recalls . \u201che could be a little uptight or negative at times . so it was funny that he was [ buddhist ] , because you wouldn\u2019t assume that . it was just something he adopted to help center himself . \u201d\naaron does not know at this time how many episodes of smallville will feature jimmy olsen , but he has had time for some outside projects . one project is currently filming - a movie called palo alto also starring ryan hansen ,\ndick casablancas\nof veronica mars .\ni don ' t know when it ' s going to be out , but keep an eye open for it , because i think it ' s gonna be great ,\naaron tells us . and although he does not know what the plans are , he wouldn ' t rule out a return appearance on veronica mars if they should want to bring back troy .\ni think veronica mars is a great show , so if they wanted me to , i would love to . i love the show , and i love the character of troy , too ,\nhe tells us .\n\u201cit doesn\u2019t mean that he\u2019s a completely different character , \u201d says ashmore , \u201cbut some of the things that have happened to him over the past two seasons are showing . it\u2019s interesting because d\u2019avin is playing some of the lighter stuff and keeps feeling like he\u2019s joined this family , so he\u2019s opening up , while john\u2019s closing up a little bit . \u201d\nit\u2019s these additional dimensions to his character that keep ashmore so excited about playing john : \u201cthere\u2019s obviously this real heart to him , but at the same time he also surprises me as an actor by shooting someone in the head , or blowing somebody away . getting a chance to play a three - dimensional character has been pretty fun and exciting . \u201d\naaron ' s first s mallville scenes are set at the daily planet , where he shares screen time with allison mack ( chloe ) and tom welling ( clark ) .\ni got to do a couple scenes with allison mack , and i did a scene with tom welling as well . both were very welcome , and it was just totally cool . they were just like , ' come and play ' . it was really great ,\nhe revealed .\nas as result , ashmore says he \u201cobviously responds\u201d to similar material , but he also credits the direction of his career to the rising popularity of genre storytelling : \u201cas an actor , you\u2019re going out for a ton of different things , but if half of it is genre stuff , the likelihood that you\u2019re going to get into some of that is pretty high . \u201d\n\u201cthere\u2019s maybe a little bit of darkness that\u2019s crept into john this season , \u201d ashmore says . and no wonder \u2014 last season , john\u2019s girlfriend , pawter simms ( sarah power ) was killed , leading him to not only shoot her killer ( mayko nguyen\u2019s delle sayah kendry ) in revenge but also leave his partners ( and their ship ) and set off on his own .\nthe actor didn\u2019t know about his character\u2019s true intentions until the got the script for that episode , which he says helped his performance . \u201ci think it\u2019s interesting because then you\u2019re not playing into anything or foreshadowing that he\u2019s going to be a bad guy , \u201d says ashmore . \u201cyou actually think that he\u2019s going to be this really cool guy and that he and veronica are going to get along very well . \u201d\nlast season on warehouse 13 , walter sykes ( anthony michael hall ) devised to destroy the warehouse and get vengeance on the regents . although it backfired that resulted to his demise , sykes was successful at destroying the warehouse and therefore , killing several others in the process . mrs . frederic ( cch pounder ) , steve jinks ( aaron ashmore ) and h . g . wells ( jaime murray ) were all killed . this leaves the last remaining ones , pete lattimer ( eddie mcclintock ) , myka bering ( joanne kelly ) , and artie nielsen ( saul rubinek ) with the tough task of traveling to the other side of the planet to find an artifact that may or may not exist . what kind of artifact is it ? what could be the ultimate price of possessing it ? if the team is able to find it , how then will it impact things on warehouse 13 season 4 ? which warehouse 13 character are you ?\nsouvenir from the set : \u201cwhen killjoys ends , hopefully not for a couple more years , i would definitely take my jacket , \u201d says ashmore . \u201cthey custom make these jackets , and they have all this really cool armor and patches , and all that stuff on them . we also have these futuristic guns that look like regular guns , but they\u2019ve been modified so they\u2019re really cool , so i\u2019d take that , and definitely a few little science - y things . \u201d\n\u201cthere was this huge aspect of [ jimmy\u2019s ] personality that was very insecure and and constantly worried about chloe loving clark that felt a bit soap - ish in a way that i wasn\u2019t crazy about , \u201d ashmore admits . \u201cbut i really liked the interactions with clark and how interested jimmy was in superman and tracking him down . they definitely had a lot of great moments where he was putting the pieces together that clark is superman , which felt very iconic to me . \u201d\nas for the popular book series itself , ashmore says while he never read all of it because he and his brother were in their late teens when shawn was starring on the show , he did pick up a few books when his brother got cast . \u201ci thought they were really fun , and that it was a good little series\u2026 but we may have missed it . if we were five or six years younger , we probably would have been the perfect age range for them . \u201d\n\u201c [ troy ] was so nice to veronica and she\u2019d had such a crappy time of things that people were like , \u2018this guy\u2019s great . \u2019 it lulled them into a false sense of security , so when he turned out to be a jerk , people were so angry at him , \u201d says ashmore , who enjoyed playing troy\u2019s sense of humor and wit . \u201che could have been such a nice guy and great for veronica , but like most people , he turned out to be an ass . \u201d\n\u201cwhen i did the first one , i was definitely a fan of the show . i was the perfect age range for that , \u201d ashmore recalls . \u201cby the time i did the second episode , i still watched it , but i was a little older , so i was into slightly older things . but most of my friends watched the show , too , so it was something that you did that all of your friends were going to watch , and you knew that so that was exciting . \u201d\nphotographer marcus ( aaron ashmore ) and workaholic journalist carmen ( cindy sampson ) are on the verge of a breakup , but carmen thinks she can salvage the relationship at the same time she can boost her career by breaking a missing person\u2019s story about an american backpacker who disappeared somewhere in poland . going against her boss\u2019 orders , she hops over to a small village with marcus and her babe - in - the - woods assistant sara ( meghan heffern ) . threatened by the locals but refusing to leave without answers , the trio come upon a clearing in the woods engulfed in a dense white fog . inside the fog is a demonic statue that seems to be alive . then the villagers get really pissed about trespassing on their \u201cshrine\u201d and carmen and sara soon find themselves dressed in white for a cult sacrifice . i had a strange feeling that meghan heffern was channeling heather matarazzo\u2019s character from hostel : part ii , and you know how that turned out for her . ( watching the torture / death scene involving a mask with sharp metal thorns being pummeled into the victim\u2019s eyes , i had a nice flashback to barbara steele\u2019s death at the beginning of black sunday ) .\n\u201ci\u2019ve always been a big fan of science fiction and fantasy , \u201d says ashmore , who was a big chronicles of narnia and tolkien fan when he was younger . \u201ci was a huge star trek fan . i watched next generation every day whenever it was on , and then i got into deep space nine which i really , really liked . i also loved the x - files , which was a huge show i didn\u2019t miss . my parents , my brother , and i would watch it every week it was on . \u201d\nthe role may have been in his sci - fi wheelhouse , but it did challenge him in another area : as nate , ashmore had to play guitar on camera . \u201cit turned out fine , but it was a little nerve wracking pushing your boundaries around stuff like that , where you\u2019re like , \u2018there\u2019s going to be a lot of people watching me sing , and i\u2019m not a singer . \u2019 but that\u2019s a great thing about playing these roles . sometimes you end up pushing yourself a little out of your comfort zone . \u201d\n\u201cthat show had a really big fan base , but also the character i played was gay , and that really resonated with a lot of people , \u201d says ashmore about his role as steve jinks , a new warehouse agent introduced in the third season of the syfy drama . jinks was hired to replace myka bering ( joanne kelly ) before being partnered with claudia donovan ( stitchers \u2019 allison scagliotti ) . it was revealed that not only was jinks gay and a buddhist , but that he also had the ability to tell when anyone is lying .\n\u201ci couldn\u2019t believe that i booked the part , \u201d laughs ashmore of his role as jimmy olsen , who worked alongside clark kent ( tom welling ) and lois lane ( erica durance ) as a photojournalist at the daily planet , where he the first person to get a photo of \u2018the blur\u2019 ( clark\u2019s superhero moniker at the time ) . jimy also married and divorced clark\u2019s best friend chloe sullivan ( allison mack ) . he would later die on the series , but not before learning clark\u2019s secret and telling his ex - wife he would always love her .\nhe was showned as jimmy olsen , first love attention of chloe sullivan , for the sixth period of smallville on the wb tv network and sustained to act him into its eighth season . two years after goodbye the show , ashmore returns to play his attractiveness ' s younger brother on the series ending . unexpectedly , his colleague sam huntington played olsen in superman returns and the two have together seen in veronica mars . urltoken publicized on october 6 , 2010 , that he will have a part in maple pictures funniness movie servitude , which stars joe dinicol , lauren collins , linda kash , and john bregar .\ncloaking the hitman in anonymity is another miscalculation \u2013 without a clear threat , much of the urgency dissipates . the script ' s shortcomings fortunately don ' t put undue limitations on the actors , who remain enticing through much of the film . canning plays the linchpin , her outrageous ( if implausible ) behavior providing the impetus for the couple ' s inconsistent chemistry . ashmore at first appears sympathetic as her frazzled boyfriend , until revelations about his personal history tip the power balance back to neutral . working within some obvious resource constraints , stewart and clark keep the film looking nicely polished , sustained by james klopko ' s lucent cinematography .\ni ' m not the most gregarious personality , so any amount of attention makes me shy or nervous , but i ' m not opposed to that at all . people respond to the character and care about him , and that makes me proud that we ' ve created a character together with the writers that people really care about , and that ' s the biggest compliment to me .\nanne blythe has a great life : a good job , close friends , and a potential book deal for her first novel . when it comes to finding someone to share her life with , however , she just can ' t seem to get it right . when her latest relationship implodes , and her best friend announces she ' s engaged , anne impulsively calls what she thinks is a dating service\u00e2\u20ac\u201donly to discover that it ' s actually an exclusive , and pricey , arranged\nafter all , arranged marriages are the norm for millions of women around the world ; maybe it could work for her .\na few months later , anne is traveling to a mexican resort , where , over the course of a weekend , she meets and then marries jack . and initially , everything seems to be working out .\nwe ' ll be sure to post information for more convention appearances as we hear them . : )\n( which is currently available on netflix instant in case you haven ' t seen it yet ) . enjoy !\nworking on getting some more pages updated . i just moved a bunch of old updates into the\nwhich was definitely not at all done because i just really liked this gif that i made last night when i was trying to fall asleep and sleep wouldn ' t come no not at all because that would be weird .\nother than that i busted out my screencapping software and got back to work . you can check out the results in the gallery with\nso it ' s been over a year since there was an update to this website and a lot of things have happened since then .\nit turns out that the whole having a grown up job thing is a little overrated and that combined with some volunteer gigs are a little counterproductive to running a fansite . we ' re not going anywhere and despite the lack of activity there are updates in the pipeline -\n- updates once a week . . . it ' s our new year ' s resolution , we swear it !\nadditional resolutions include no longer using the royal we as the staff actual consists of one person but you know . . . baby steps .\n- playing at the festival . the festival runs from jan . 17th - 23rd , 2014 in park city , utah .\nthan hawke is one of the most naturally plausible screen actors working today , but regression is the film that has finally defeated him . not even he can sell you on the psychological turmoil of a man who\u2019s haunted by a sachet of cup - a - soup .\nthis is , believe it or not , one of the less absurd twists of alejandro amen\u00e1bar\u2019s supernatural thriller , in which hawke plays bruce kenner , a minnesotan plain - clothes cop who\u2019s investigating a suspected local outbreak of devil - worship .\nfrom its occult premise to the voguishly dingy 1990s period setting and plentiful shots of greenish oil refineries , the film desperately wishes it were true detective \u2013 though its plot feels heavily inspired by the notorious\nwest memphis three\ncase of 1993 , in which a trio of arkansas teenagers were wrongly convicted of murdering three young boys in a stomach - churning blood rite .\nthe victim here is still alive , but only just . she\u2019s angela ( emma watson ) , a frail and troubled teenager whose father john ( david dencik ) confesses to having sexually abused her , even though he has no specific memory of the crime . baffled , kenner turns to dr raines ( david thewlis ) , an english hypnotherapist with both the appearance and personality of an illegally dumped armchair .\nthe doctor uses regression therapy to draw out the gory particulars , and gory is indeed the word for them .\nangela , it transpires , was an unwilling participant in some dread satanic ceremony \u2013 and further details gleaned from her waifish runaway brother ( devon bostick ) and distressed - leather handbag of a grandmother ( dale dickey ) paint a truly boschian picture of child sacrifice and ritualistic rape in the moonlit backwoods . the initially sceptical kenner is shaken , and suspects he might be the next target of this murderous cabal . and this is where , among other things , the cup - a - soup comes in .\nas the director of the others and open your eyes , amen\u00e1bar is no stranger to psychologically vivid thrillers with ghostly overtones , but regression feels depressingly like journeyman work . a few flourishes make an impression \u2013 close - ups of the hooded figures evoke the flash - frames of the demon pazuzu in the exorcist \u2013 but they\u2019re exclusively visual , and tend to be defanged by the corny sound effects ( so much backwards whispering ) and snarlingly unsubtle score .\nby all rights , watson should be the film\u2019s unnerving heart , but her role \u2013 through the fault of the script , rather than the actress \u2013 is pure dramatic cardboard . as for the wisdom of building a did - she - didn\u2019t - she guessing game around a vulnerable young woman\u2019s rape testimony , the choice feels at best unfortunate .\nthe real west memphis three case has already been well - served by cinema , in atom egoyan\u2019s underrated procedural devil\u2019s knot , the paradise lost documentaries , and amy berg\u2019s excellent west of memphis . all of those films took a sober , analytical tack that was at shivery odds with the lurid material . regression fails by trying to have it both ways : you just can\u2019t feel sceptical and scared at the same time .\nwe urge you to turn off your ad blocker for the telegraph website so that you can continue to access our quality content in the future .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\njon knautz\u2019s sophomore effort the shrine surprised me . it\u2019s a blend of certain genre horrors \u2013 satanic cults , torture porn , demonic possession flicks \u2013 and out of the mix it creates something heady , and if the beginning comes across as a bit ho - hum ( characters follow the horror handbook by making stupid decisions ) , the ending makes up for it by subverting audience expectations in a number of ways . the horrors , when they come , are visceral and uncompromising \u2013 and upon further reflection , political . if the shrine indulges our sense of superiority in watching these kinds of films by having its characters make predictable decisions ( a character gets multiple warning signs \u2013 from dreams and irate villagers , but ignores them ) , it punishes them ( and the audience ) by upending the \u201cfinal girl\u201d trope completely . it reminded me of when richard falcon described miike\u2019s audition ( and hitchcock\u2019s psycho ) as a \u201cbreach of contract between filmmaker and audience . \u201d i\u2019m not sure that the shrine does it as well as those films , but i like that it tries .\nsure , i ' m an evil demon . but i love modeling on the side .\nthe shrine plays a little bit with conventions . one example is how our victims see the villagers as demons / monsters , a tactic that is eventually revealed to be misdirection , but it\u2019s a good one . the movie has some other neat tricks , especially during the final minutes when it suddenly becomes the evil dead , with a newly possessed \u201cdeadite\u201d laying waste to the poor saps who obviously haven\u2019t been doing their cult thing long enough . i have to tread lightly here when discussing the plot , lest i give away too much . i will just say that there is a reason why the polish spoken by the villagers isn\u2019t subtitled ( and i hear that it\u2019s butchered polish anyway , but no matter for english speakers ) . i will also tell you that because the ending packs a decent visual punch , the fact that the whole sequence plays out in a different language is of no lasting consequence , a testament to the power of horror in the visual medium . no , they\u2019re definitely not in poland ( more like ontario ) , and we\u2019re never told the origins of the evil statue in the fog , but that\u2019s not the point anyway .\nthere\u2019s something of political commentary in the shrine , as evidenced by the need for carmen to intervene in a situation that she has no business doing , as unprepared she and her friends are for the mission . when they get to the village , they find that they are subject to forces they don\u2019t understand , and they misidentify the source of the danger \u2013 the villagers / cultists are the \u201cenemy\u201d only because of the barriers in language , custom , and religion . sounds like a jab at america\u2019s foreign policy , doesn\u2019t it ? even without that subtext , the film entertains and matches its fatalism ( the \u201cchosen\u201d ones are already doomed , like ti west\u2019s house of the devil or sam raimi\u2019s drag me to hell ) with a sense of cosmic justice ( the one character who is the most reasonable and cautious escapes alive ) . the shrine seems more fresh than a lot of its counterparts in modern horror . i think it\u2019s worth a look .\ni am so intrigued by ed & lorraine warren . i h . . .\ncrime scene cleaner morgan catches the eye of a young detective and they team up to solve a crime while dealing with the feelings that are growing between them .\ni confirm that this person is a friend or family member that i have an existing relationship with . for more information on how the movie network defines a friend or family member , please see our\nyou can opt -

or of his defense of booth\u2019s implied author , revisioned as detached from booth\u2019s ethical agenda . but it is also part of seymour\u2019s openness to intellectual exchange that he good naturedly enters into debate with theorists who are hostile to the project of narratology\u2014and in reading his replies to , say , \u201ccontextualist\u201d or deconstructivist attacks on the field , one appreciates how seymour gives the best account he can of what these critiques might be , even as he delineates their limits and finds new ways to reiterate the value of structuralist narratology .\nprofessor chatman received many awards and honors in his long career , including the wayne c . booth lifetime achievement award from the narrative society , as well as fulbright and guggenheim fellowships .\na celebration of the life of seymour benjamin chatman took place february 12 , 2016 in the morrison library on the berkeley campus . speakers included his former students , friends , and colleagues : emeritus professor of psychology and linguistics ;

' for the specialist in the study of narrative structure , this is a solid and very perceptive exploration of the issues salient to the telling of a story - whatever the medium . chatman , whose approach here is at once dualist and structuralist , divides his subject into the ' what ' of the narrative ( story ) and the ' way ' ( discourse ) . . . chatman ' s command of his material is impressive . '\nseymour has , happily , worked out many of his ideas through his active participation in the narrative society . he was a plenary speaker at the first official narrative conference in 1986 and appeared in the pages of the first issue of narrative . in 2003 , he helped organize the annual conference at berkeley . he has been in between and beyond a regular contributor to the society and to its journal . always moving forward , seymour\u2019s recent essay \u201cbackwards , \u201d an investigation of the narrative structure of reverse chronology narratives , appeared in narrative in 2009 .\nchatman ' s study is the only complete account of antonioni ' s work available in english . its novel visual approach to the films while attract not only film scholars but also readers interested in painting and architecture\u2014both important elements of antonioni ' s work .\none of these forms of narration is free direct speech , which is an interior monologue . this form of narration is frequently used in pride and prejudice , and chatman explains the critical features of interior monologues in five bullet points : ( p . 182 - 183 )\ncornell university press , united states , 1980 . paperback . condition : new . revised ed . . language : english . brand new book . for the specialist in the study of narrative structure , this is a solid and very perceptive exploration of the issues salient to the telling of a story - whatever the medium . chatman , whose approach here is at once dualist and structuralist , divides his subject into the what of the narrative ( story ) and the way ( discourse ) . chatman s command of his material is impressive . - library journal .\nseymour enjoyed a long teaching career in the department of rhetoric and continued to teach as a professor in the graduate school for a decade after his retirement in 1993 . reading narrative fiction ( macmillan 1993 ) detailed his teaching methods and made the study of narrative accessible to a broader audience of teachers and readers . pedagogic concerns were at the center of all his work . for seymour , the end of all the high theory was the classroom where he taught students how to read , how to take pleasure in the discovery of story and narrative strategies through analysis of small - scale and large - scale effects of language and textual meaning .\nthe latter part of this chapter discusses macroscopic plot structures . chatman argues that to form characterization of narrative forms , it is necessary to understand cultural codes , among other things . without understanding these , typologies of narratives ( for instance , propp ) must be narrow and confined to particular domains .\nwhat i appreciate most in chatman ' s study are the problem - solving activities and ambitions : again and again , he proves capable of defining areas to investigate ( the borders between narrative and other temporal genres , for example , the typography of plots , the distinctive features of foregrounding and backgrounding ) and of discussing narrative in terms of problems and solutions . when i opened the chatman volume , 1read the blurb first : ' a judicious and well - informed book , story and discourse should become the standard guide to narrative and to modern thinking about narrative . ' the blurb is right .\n\u2015gerald prince , mln\nthe evolution of the speech department into the present - day department of rhetoric with its emphasis on discourse theory and practice in many ways paralleled the intellectual trajectory of seymour\u2019s scholarly career during the nineteen sixties and seventies . although he was perhaps less involved in the administrative matters of creating a new department than in substantive intellectual ones , his role in creating vibrant , interdisciplinary fields cannot be underestimated . seymour chatman\u2019s international standing as a leading literary theorist and narratologist drew graduate students interested in newly emerging continental structuralist approaches , as well as visiting critical theorists and filmmakers . his teaching and scholarly interests eventually led to a program in film and to the current department of film and media , and certainly also contributed to the genesis of a program in critical theory . he pioneered the study of film at berkeley with his successful course \u201cnovel into film\u201d and served as faculty advisor to berkeley\u2019s first doctoral students in film , many of whom went on to establish influential film studies journals and programs at american and european universities .\nwhat i appreciate most in chatman ' s study are the problem - solving activities and ambitions : again and again , he proves capable of defining areas to investigate ( the borders between narrative and other temporal genres , for example , the typography of plots , the distinctive features of foregrounding and backgrounding ) and of discussing narrative in terms of problems and solutions . when i opened the chatman volume , 1read the blurb first : ' a judicious and well - informed book , story and discourse should become the standard guide to narrative and to modern thinking about narrative . ' the blurb is right .\n- - gerald prince , mln\nseymour\u2019s international prominence brought him many honors and awards\u2013\u2013including two fulbrights , a guggenheim fellowship , five neh fellowships , a rockefeller grant , an irex travelling fellowship to poland and russia , guest professorships at the university of zurich and the university of bologna where he was plenary lecturer at the alma mater sudiorum saecularia nona in october 1988 for the 900 th anniversary , and the university of melbourne 1991 where he was a pacific rim exchange professor .\nseymour was the editor and translator of literary style : a symposium \u2013\u2013a controversial 1971 volume of essays from an international symposium that continued an intellectual exchange begun at the 1960 indiana university conference on \u201cstyle in language . \u201d seymour conceived of the meeting and organized the event that took place in 1969 in bellagio , italy , at the rockefeller foundation\u2019s villa serbelloni . among the linguists and literary critics he invited to participate in the conversation were roman jakobson , josephine miles , pierre guiraud , rene wellek , w . k . wimsatt , jean starobinski , steven ullman , tzvetan todorov , ivan fonagy , paul zumthor , ruqaiya hasan , and roland barthes . further breakthrough symposia followed , including approaches to poetics of the 1973 english institute ; the proceedings of the first international congress on semiotics , edited with umberto eco ; and in 1981 , on narrative , a special issue of critical inquiry .\nthe process of going through a narrative and extrapolating a world from it is something chatman calls \u201creading out\u201d . this is discussed in relation to a . c . bradley ( who focused on shakespeare ) and open trait - analysis . this is the sort of thing i am doing with pride and prejudice now . this sort of analysis though has been broadly criticized for neglecting the surface features , the texture of language .\nthis book offers , for me , the most understandable model of a narrative i ' ve read so far . chatman offers helpful concepts for analyzing both written and film narratives . he tries to create a synthesis of all narrative theory before his book , and he does a very good job . instead of getting lost in a collection of different approaches , you actually find yourself connecting them all , seeing where they fit together . among all the books on narratology and narrative analysis i ' ve read , this is the one most helpful not only for analyzing film narratives but also written narratives ( although i would always recommend you also read\nnarratology : an introduction\n,\nnarrative fiction\nand perhaps bordwell and thompson ' s\nfilm art : an introduction\n, if you want to focus especially on films ) . this book and the way chatman dissects the narrative are also interesting for people more interested in writing than in analysis : i believe the parts chatman splits the narrative into resemble very closely those writers use in putting one together . so this book may actually help writers gain new insights into what they are doing instinctively . first and foremost , however , it is a very useful book for the student and scholar of literature .\nwhere an event is something that occurs in time , an existent is something that occurs in space . in cinematic narratives , this is more literal : existents are things that show up on screen and take up space on the screen . chatman gives five qualities for these : ( p . 97 - 98 ) these are ostensibly matters of presentation , but it is still a matter of the material content of the film itself .\nchatman describes extensively the filmic devices for developing cuts and scenes , and explains these in relation to the terms of narrative sequence . these have to do with the role of time in events , which have flow of rhythms and cycles . using pride and prejudice as an example , he explains how the narration is broken into phases of scene ( action ) and description . rhythm and flow are good to think about from the perspective of adaptation , because these carry the dramatic mood and experience of the narrative .\nchatman opens by comparing theory and poetics . poetics accounts for the structure of storytelling , which accounts for how to analyze form , but asks more questions than it answers . poetics is not concerned with \u201cwhat makes macbeth great ? \u201d but rather \u201cwhat makes macbeth a tragedy ? \u201d russian formalism is an instance of poetics , but it lacks the power to address more complex and modern narratives . literary theory is about the nature of literature . it is not criticism . it is about explaining what the possibilities are . instead of asking what the author should or should not do , it asks \u201cwhat can we say about the way structures like narratives organize themselves ? that question raises subsidiary ones : what are the ways we recognize the presence or absence of a narrator ? what is plot ? character ? setting ? point of view ? \u201d ( p . 19 ) these questions are chatman\u2019s goals to explore . to do this , he breaks down narrative into components : narrative is composed of story and discourse , and the story is made of events and existents . this extends loosely from aristotle .\nmuch study in narratology places character subordinate to plot , only existing to serve the plot\u2019s needs . however , the reader is free to interpret and extend the idea of the character and ask questions about them . models of characters that are merely functional are closed , where the characters cannot be extended outside the narrative space . in theories that close characters , readers are forbidden from attempting to think about characters outside of the plot . an example that characterizes this stand is o . b . hardison , who argues that characters ( specifically in the case of shakespeare ) are simply dramatic figures and their lives and personalities are restricted to the words on the page . chatman is horrified by this position and argues that it is absurd , and the reader must be free to imagine and extend the personalities , and ask questions about the characters beyond the text . an interesting element of this conflict is that the closed model of characters is intrinsically hostile to not only adaptations , but the idea that the text may belong to anyone other than the author . if the characters cannot live outside of the text , then they are simply puppets of the author , controllable by the author alone . \u00e2 chatman explains that to understand a character , it must be interpreted and reconstructed . there is always more to interpret of characters .\nchatman more elements of the interior monologue ( as stream of consciousness , or free indirect speech ) , and again relates it to pride and prejudice . elizabeth\u2019s thoughts after lady catherine leaves are revealed to us , to indicate her emotional state . chatman explains that the key reason why we are privy to this thought is as a clear narrative action . elizabeth\u2019s internal mind is a reflection of her character , and the flow of thoughts and moods are very controlled and logical . narratively , this moment is highly significant , and the moment reveals her emotions and state : perplexed , angry , and strangely hopeful . \u201cthe passage tells us , firstly that she is discomposed ; secondly , that she cannot take her mind off a visit extraordinary not only in its substance but in the urgency attached to it by lady catherine , who clearly feels that darcy may indeed act ; thirdly , that she wonders how such a rumor could have begun ; fourthly , that the fact that darcy is bingley\u2019s friend and she jane\u2019s sister must have prompted speculation about her prospects too ; and finally that the lucases have already consummated a match which she has begun to contemplate only in the privacy of her own mind . \u201d ( p . 191 ) this extrapolation , or reading out , as it were , gives a clear set of narrative events that are taking place in elizabeth\u2019s mind , but are important nonetheless .\nthis is a terrifically useful book and is quite well known in graduate student circles . i came across it randomly at a bookstore when i was searching for a good introduction to literary theory and basic concepts . this book was clear and insightful and chatman ' s presentation has since become the anchor around which i was able to read and digest all the other books that came after it . if you ' re looking for a ' way into ' literary theory concepts , this one will be very helpful . the title , story and discourse - refers to the basic distinction literary theorists make between a story ( chronological set of events ) and its narration ( chronology can be manipulated to produce various rhetorical effects such as suspense , etc ) .\nexperiencing a narrative requires interpretation , filling in the gaps . this is a crucial element in story , that it is possible for the reader to inject their own interpretations , and supply extra details and imagery to what is being read . this is interesting in the context of film and visual video games , which supply more and more visual information . chatman explains that narratives evoke a world of potential details . the text supplies some of these details , but it is up to the reader to fill in the rest . there is a range of artistic expression in narrative , as is present in painting . painting may be more or less detailed ( impressionistic works forgo detail to create expression and mood ) , likewise narrative may choose to go in or out of details at whim . narrative is never complete .\nthe idea of structure that chatman uses comes from piaget , who claims that structure contains wholeness , transformation , and self - regulation . narrative is a structure by these terms , and furthermore it is a semiotic structure . as a semiotic structure , it is divided into quadrants by expression and content , and substance and form . discourse is the expression of narrative , while content is the story . both of these have elements of substance and form . a worthwhile endeavor is to imagine what of this constitutes the world and the model . it seems like both of these are content , but what identifies the world versus the model in terms of the cultural codes , characters , and such is lest clear . the experience of reading is a part of the discourse , and it is arguable that in an adaptation project , the form of expression should be mimicked or made analogous to the source material .\nthe narrative evokes a world , and the reader is free to enrich that world . chatman\u2019s goal is to construct an open theory of character ( open in the umberto eco sense ) . the terms to be understood in characters are totality , traits , and uniqueness . traits are used to compose character and character has a range of them . a trait is a \u201crelatively stable or abiding personal quality\u201d ( p . 126 ) . characters may shift between traits over the course of a narrative , and traits may extend beyond the events of a story . the idea of traits is to develop a structural format for character identity , that is meaningful within the scope of the story world , but can also be extended beyond the story world . the notion of trait is sufficient for literary analysis , but for the purposes of procedural adaptation , it requires more formalization and detail . a character model is something that i am interested in developing , but it is not clear exactly how the process will work .\nberkeleyside is always honored to publish , at no charge , obituaries of members of the

meanings . all statements are mediated to some degree , but telling increases the degree of mediation . the range of mediation and forms of narration create a spectrum of modes between the author and the reader .\nevents make up the things that happen , and this is the content , but the arrangement of these events as presented to the reader is a matter of discourse . the presentation of sequence implicitly conveys causality . readers interpret consecutive events as causally related . the verisimilitude of events , the manner in which they are interpreted as real , is according to how the reader thinks they should be , not necessarily as they are . thus , explicit narration is only required for events which are notable or unusual . without narration , the reader is left to believe that things continue as they \u201cought to\u201d . narration thus becomes an issue of inclusion and omission . this is an interesting point because it ties back to the way in which we read or use models . although the application to formal models is difficult because common expectations are notoriously difficult to express .\nverbal and cinematic story space are different in several respects . text has much more ambiguity and freedom , and is open in terms of visual imagery , but this imagery may be suggested given the style of the narrative . conversely , cinema cannot describe things and events , it must show them . games , interestingly , are in an in - between space . they can both show and tell by making use of various interactive techniques .\nregarding character , the original model belongs to aristotle , but aristotle\u2019s approach leaves much to be desired . aristotle frames characters as having traits , but this raises contention about the primacy of the action or the character\u2019s traits : which is the cause of which ? what is the relation of the plot to the character ? formalist depictions of character treats characters as variable and interchangeable , where the only importance is their function within the story . characters are secondary or worse with respect to the plot . on the other side , henry james argues for an interdependence of character and plot .\nthe first topic on the subject of discourse is the narrative spectrum , which is largely pulled from wayne booth . the essence of this spectrum revolves around the conflict between showing and telling , or presentation versus mediated narration , or mimesis and diagesis . all of these essentially represent the same conflict between how the story is narrated and read . the importance of discourse is heightened by perspective or point of view . this is made the most prominent in film , but has always been an issue in narration . most clearly , point of view has to do with how the world is logically digested and understood . there are many forms of discourse , which rely on how the point of view is communicated . discourse may be narrated , nonnarrated , direct , soliloquy , and so on . each of these forms implies something meaningful .\nthe current discourse - moment is the same as the story - moment ; hence any predicate referring to the current moment will be in the present tense . this is not an \u201cepic present\u201d depicting past time , but rather a real present referring to contemporary time of the action . memories and other references to the past will occur in the simple preterite , not the past perfect .\nthe language\u2013idiom , diction , word - and syntactic - choice\u2013 are identifiably those of the character , whether or not a narrator intervenes .\nthere is no presumptive audience other than the thinker himself , no deference to the ignorance or expository needs of a narratee .\nthis point suggests an interesting game mechanic , though . the player might be prompted at certain points with a bubble of \u201ci think\u2026\u201d , or \u201ci feel\u2026\u201d and must fill in some thoughts , which will indicate the player

scale interventions , altered the natural surroundings around them by repositioning tons of soil and rocks or by inserting metallic elements in large areas of land .\ni had been thinking about this film for more than ten years , but the actual production took only thirteen months . the title comes from a comment germano celant made about the land artists : \u201cthey were troublemakers , confusing the marketing . in fact , they didn\u2019t have any market . not only because they were difficult , but also because people were not able to grasp them . \u201d\nmichel comte is a swiss -

( de maria and smithson are deceased . )\nset in the desolate desert spaces of the american southwest , the film unearths the history of land art during the tumultuous late 1960s and early 1970s . troublemakers is ultimately a story of renegades and firebrands all willing to risk their future careers on radical change and experimentation - a marked contrast to the hyper - speculative contemporary art world of today . featuring rare interviews with a veritable who ' s who of american art of the twentieth century .\na preview of new work from citizenfour oscar - winner laura poitras , the latest feature from master documentarian frederick wiseman and a film about the late nora ephron directed by her son jacob bernstein are among the 12 titles selected to screen in the spotlight on documentary section at the 53rd new york film festival , which runs from sept . 25 to oct . 11 .\ncrump believes his film could inspire today\u2019s younger artists struggling to find meaning for their work in a capitalism - on - steroids contemporary - art market for easily collectible paintings and sculpture .\nnonetheless , one of troublemakers \u2019 strongest elements is the photography of heizer\u2019s \u201cdouble negative , \u201d which now is owned by moca . in february 2014 , crump did a two - day shoot \u2014 from air and on land \u2014 of the site , and the results are engrossing .\nas well as it does its job , the movie\u2019s tone suggests a pbs program . so , too , does its brevity : the film clocks in at a leave - them - wanting - more hour and 12 minutes . some potential viewers may take this as a cue to wait for \u201ctroublemakers\u201d to turn up on television , but that would be a mistake . the film\u2019s generous views of spectacular works like smithson\u2019s monumental \u201c spiral jetty \u201d ( the work projects into the great salt lake in utah ) and mr . heizer\u2019s \u201c double negative \u201d in nevada ( a huge trench bisected by a canyon ) are best seen on the largest screen available .\nrelationships between land art , photography / film , and westward expansion are vaguely established by the documentary , but not pursued beyond suggestion . primary sources and exhibition ephemera are used as rallying points for celebrating the artists\u2019 auras rather than texts to be read within the frame of their specific time and place . the film does send a well - deserved nod to the short - lived\nthe film by james crump does something that is rare for art documentaries : it is very beautiful and dynamic itself in examining work that is challenging . it meets the subject head - on .\nbut survival is what the film is testament to . heizer ' s levitated mass took heaven and earth and a great deal of time and freeway management to arrive recently in los angeles at lacma .\nwhile troublemakers\u2019 subject concerns some of the most unique and immersive artistic environments yet created , crump , an author and editor of numerous books about artists , keeps his form comparatively pedestrian . only toward the end , during some sweeping aerial views of heizer\u2019s double negative , does the music on the soundtrack get echoey and the mood get contemplative . though one could argue that there\u2019s no point in trying to recreate the experience on film . best to rent a car , head west and see them for yourself .\ntroublemakers unearths the history of land art in the tumultuous late 1960s and early 1970s . the film features a cadre of renegade new york artists that sought to transcend the limitations of painting and sculpture by producing earthworks on a monumental scale in the american southwest . today these works remain impressive not only for the sheer audacity of their makers but also for their out - sized ambitions to break free from traditional norms . the film casts these artists in a heroic light , which is exactly how they saw themselves . iconoclasts who changed the landscape of art forever , these revolutionary , antagonistic creatives risked their careers on radical artistic change and experimentation , and took on the establishment to produce art on their own terms .\non sept . 29 , the new documentary he produced and directed \u2014 troublemakers : the story of land art \u2014 had its first major public screening at the theatre at the ace hotel in downtown l . a . ; it was sponsored by l . a . \u2019s museum of contemporary art ( moca ) .\ncrump and his executive producer , cincinnati native ronnie sassoon , financed the film through their production company , summitridge pictures , before starting to sell various domestic and international distribution rights . they are also a couple .\nwith the rebels who created the works that defined it . it is important to me that a new generation of much younger artists rediscover these troublemakers in order to fully realize that making art is not simply for the market and that celebrity or net worth are a rather inadequate justification for a career in the visual arts .\ncrump and the film\u2019s producer , ronnie sassoon , will make a live appearance at the tucson screening and do a q & a afterward . a reception follows with hors d\u2019oeuvre and a cash bar . the film , being shown in limited release , screens only once in tucson , at 7 p . m . on saturday , nov . 28 . the $ 12 tickets include the movie , panel discussion and reception . purchase online via\nthe film opens in los angeles friday february 5th and can be seen in other cities in the next month . director james crump will be doing a q and a following the 7 : 20 screening at the laemmle monica .\nother titles that have been selected include the world premiere of james solomon \u2019s the witness , a reconsideration of the fatal stabbing of kitty genovese in queens , new york in 1964 , and james crump \u2019s troublemakers : the story of land art , which tells of the \u201860s and \u201870s artists who made art out of the landscapes of the american southwest .\nthe film comes at a time when the notion of preservation of federal lands is under siege . the film provides a counterpoint to preservation , as the works do change the landscape and though art lovers are thrilled , i ' m not sure that the guys who took a federal preserve hostage in oregon last month would see these artist ' s work as any more important than their cattle and perhaps as pesky as the coyotes and foxes they ' re keen to annihilate .\nmr . crump does a terrific job of detailing the aesthetic and intellectual motivations of this loose movement : concern for the environment , continuation of the \u201cwhat is art ? \u201d inquiries of earlier 20th - century forms and disillusionment with galleries and with the art scene in general . this film provides short but satisfying sketches of intriguing individuals like the artists robert smithson , walter de maria , michael heizer , charles ross , nancy holt and the arts patron virginia dwan . the relative isolation in which these artists worked makes them seem more maverick iconoclasts than actual \u201ctroublemakers , \u201d but it\u2019s not my title to choose .\ncontrary to the photography of land art in books and magazines , ( and some indications in the film ) most of those artworks are very much meant to be experienced from the ground , and i always prefer seeing them from the ground .\ntwo of the artworks produced by the 1970s rebel land art movement are in new mexico . a new documentary film that describes the international art movement and the artists of that era is scheduled to screen thursday ( may 5 ) in taos .\naccording to an online synopsis , the film \u201cunearths the history of land art in the tumultuous late 1960s and early 1970s . the film features a cadre of renegade new york artists that sought to transcend the limitations of painting and sculpture by producing earthworks on a monumental scale in the desolate desert spaces of the american [ southwest ] . today these works remain impressive not only for the sheer audacity of their makers but also for their out - sized ambitions to break free from traditional norms .\n\u201cthe film casts these artists in a heroic light , which is exactly how they saw themselves . iconoclasts who changed the landscape of art forever , these revolutionary , antagonistic creatives risked their careers on radical artistic change and experimentation , and took on the establishment to produce art on their own terms . the film includes rare footage and interviews which unveil the enigmatic lives and careers of storied artists robert smithson ( \u2019spiral jetty\u2019 ) , walter de maria ( \u2019the lightning field\u2019 ) and michael heizer ( \u2019double negative\u2019 ) . \u201d\n\u201cearthworks are an older tradition than oil painting , going back 3 , 000 years , \u201d the artist carl andre observes late in \u201c troublemakers : the story of land art , \u201d a cogent , brisk , sometimes thrilling documentary written and directed by james crump . more than a couple of shots of stonehenge turn up as supporting evidence for that claim . mr . crump\u2019s film , though , is mostly concerned with a group of american artists who , in the early 1960s , began not just working with natural materials for their pieces but also went out into the open , sometimes arid , spaces in north america to mold or scar , or both , the land itself .\n\u201ctroublemakers\u201d points out that \u201cland art was rife with contradiction and conflict , a site where architecture , landscape , sculpture , technology , archaeology and photography would all converge . against the backdrop of the vietnam war , cold war anxieties and other political uncertainties of the nuclear age , land artists often subscribed to a dystopian view of the future that questioned the military - industrial complex , consumerism and the banalities of modern life and culture .\ntroublemakers points out that land art was rife with contradiction and conflict , a site where architecture , landscape , sculpture , technology , archaeology and photography would all converge . against the backdrop of the vietnam war , cold war anxieties and other political uncertainties of the nuclear age , land artists often subscribed to a dystopian view of the future that questioned the military - industrial complex , consumerism and the banalities of modern life and culture .\nin the film , crump explores why land art happened when it did \u2014 the tumultuous 1960s \u2014 as well as why it has continued to fascinate . \u201cthe artists were responding to all those issues of the time , \u201d crump says . \u201cthere were the assassinations , the protests , vietnam , space travel .\ncrump\u2019s new film chronicles the pivotal early years , 1968 -

directed with his husband nuno leonel , about small - scale fisherman in the azorean island of rabo de peixe .\na first - person trip through a moment when artists hoped to demolish the commercial gallery system by bending the earth itself to their will , building their own geological formations and surgically altering those nature made , james crump ' s troublemakers finds the personalities that thrust land art ( or earth art , or earthworks , take your pick ) into the public arena in the late 60s . full of insider interviews but accessible to the casual art fan , the doc should be well received in niche markets after its nyff bow .\n5 . crumb ( 1994 ) occupying the unusual space between underground comics and fine art , r . crumb is one of the most pioneering illustrators in contemporary culture . through interviews with the illustrator\u2019s family , ex - girlfriends and contemporaries , the film examines how the artist\u2019s complexities and talents influences his satirical , sexualized , and often disturbing drawings .\nas with all artistic movements , it is hard to know where the boundaries lie and whose work is or isn\u2019t considered land art \u2013 but crump\u2019s film focuses primarily on three men : robert smithson , walter de maria and michael heizer . forget dawn of justice \u2013 this is the best superhero team - up we\u2019ll see at the cinema this year .\ncrump , an art historian who also made the 2007 film black white + gray : a portrait of sam wagstaff and robert mapplethorpe , put his access to rare footage and interviews to good use , especially shots of works in progress , creating a fast - paced , engaging film . but the documentary is at its best when it ' s setting the scene , explaining how the counter - cultural tide of the late ' 60s and the era ' s questioning of any and all authority , as well as the nascent birth of the environmental movement , led a cadre of new york artists to buck the establishment and , in a move as much machismo as manifesto , set out west to the desert .\nthe film , using new and archival footage and interviews , also teaches about some of the patrons and advocates of land art , like gallerist virginia dwan \u2014 who funded \u201cdouble negative\u201d and \u201cspiral jetty\u201d \u2014 and willoughby sharp , who curated a 1969 show called earth art at cornell university and co -

ton granite boulder has been prominently displayed outside the los angeles county museum of art . the film tells the story of the conception , transport , and installation this highly unusual , controversial , and complex $ 10 million artwork , and shows how it was masterminded from start to finish .\njames crump , who directed the 2007 documentary black white + gray which focused on the relationship between curator and collector sam wagstaff and artist robert mapplethorpe , states : \u201cthe story needed to be told now , with the express intention of retrieving the spirit of land art , with the rebels who created the works that defined it . it is important to me that a new generation of much younger artists rediscover these troublemakers in order to fully realize that making art is not simply for the market and that celebrity or net worth are a rather inadequate justification for a career in the visual arts . \u201d\ndwan isn\u2019t the only woman to get some screen time . nancy holt , who was married to smithson , develops into an artist of great merit , but her early role was , as weiner eloquently puts it , being an essential part of the stew . as with so many bold art movements , its origins were energetic people hanging out , talking , drinking and trading ideas during a turbulent time . luckily , holt made a name for herself with her piece sun tunnels , but troublemakers touches on the often overlooked point that there are frequently very important people in the artistic process whose name never gets in the museums .\n6 . herb and dorothy ( 2008 ) the incredible true story of herb and dorothy vogel , a postal worker and librarian that lived in a rent - control apartment on new york\u2019s upper east side who built a world - class collection by buying small and medium - sized works by superstar artists before they were famous . the film demonstrates that if the passion is strong enough you don\u2019t have to be rich to collect great art .\n3 . renoir\u2014 revered and reviled ( 2016 ) this film tells the story of one of the most influential artists of all time who helped create and embraced impressionism , only to reject it and move into a completely different artistic direction . told through the lens of the barnes collection in philadelphia , which owns more pierre - auguste renoir works than any other institution , the documentary reveals the life and times of pablo picasso \u2019s favorite artist .\n4 . painters painting\u2014the new york art scene : 1940 - 70 ( 1973 ) the documentary unravels and explains how the creative critical mass in new york between 1940 and 1970 gave birth to the city\u2019s now legendary art scene . focusing on the period between 1940 and 1970 , the film shows a collection of interviews with the key players that shaped the scene examining not only the artists but also the museum directors , critics , and gallerists .\n10 . the jeff koons show ( 2004 ) a documentary of the life and work of jeff koons , one of the most significant and divisive artists of our time , is in order . the film traces the artist\u2019s rise and how he became one of the most dominant cultural voices of his generation , told from the perspective of koons himself , along with curators , gallerists and fellow artists including chuck close , julian schnabel and others .\n\u201ci felt i wanted to make this film because of the nature of where we are today , where things are so hyper - speculative , \u201d he says . \u201cit would be real interesting to retrieve the spirit of these ( land art ) artists and hopefully create something that allows for a younger generation to rediscover them and what drove them . for me , that\u2019s a kind of antidote to some of the things happening in today\u2019s art market . \u201d\nthrough interviews and photos , crump susses out the appeal of moving boulders and dirt with massive construction machinery . vintage pix show walter de maria posing wittily with the epic lines he inscribed in the ground ; present - day footage swoops above and treks into double negative , the trenches heizer dug into a pair of nevada mesas . the latter work gets so much screen time it almost counts , as they say of manhattan in romantic comedies , as a character in the film .\na lot of the principal characters are sadly no longer around . i wanted to focus on artists who were supported by virginia dwan and heiner friedrich . at one point i was interested in going beyond the formative period and telling the story of the construction of michael heizer \u2019s city , 1972\u2013 , but i quickly realized that might be too antagonizing to heizer . if you\u2019re an artist trying to complete a work , the last thing you want is to reveal it prematurely . i chose not to interview so - called experts , as i wanted to make it a film about the people who were present then and doing the heavy lifting\u2014dwan , carl andre , lawrence weiner . i met with friedrich twice but he would never agree to go on camera or to even have a microphone . i would have interviewed willoughby sharp had he been around . dennis oppenheim and nancy holt play a role in the film as well . these three artists who ended up coming across most forcefully were indeed the true titans of this new genre .\nlife in a turkish old folks home is ostensibly the subject of shevaun mizrahi\u2019s film , but that is only the entry point into this beautifully layered observational documentary . the residents spend their days taking elevator rides to nowhere , and remembering better , more interesting days . one elderly man recounts the parisian sex parties of his youth , while another talks about his glory days as a photographer . meanwhile , just outside the windows of the facility , progress gallops along , fed by the relentless pace and appetite for development .\nthe film ' s images are thrilling and majestic . anyone who has driven through the west ( and you must drive - - though the work is also designed to be seen from the air ) understands the overwhelming sense of the endless horizon , the scrub , the heat , the canyons , the layers of history . though some claimed this sense of perspective came from duchamp it is hard to travel from his readymades to the scale of the spiral nebulas and giant cuts formed from millennia of rock formations .\nmy new brush is my caterpillar\nsaid de maria .\nsome of these sites are overlooked , and that was part of my interest . double negative , near overton , nevada , is an important early heizer work about which a lot will be written and said in the future . la moca owns it and never paid any attention to it until the recent hire of director philippe vergne . i believe that the museum will eventually see it as a kind of satellite , much like how dia views spiral jetty and the lightning field as part of its mission . if the film contributes to this , i will be very pleased .\nthrough rare footage , new aerial views on their most iconic works in california , nevada , new mexico and utah and interviews with artists such as vito acconci , carl andre , walter de maria , michael heizer , nancy holt , dennis oppenheim , charles ross , robert smithson and lawrence weiner , direct witnesses to their artistic efforts such as germano celant , paula cooper , virginia dwan , gianfranco gorgoni , pamela sharp , willoughby sharp and harald szeemann , the film aims to highlight the rebellious , heroic and iconoclastic character of these pioneers who challenged the artistic conventions of their times .\nfeaturing germano celant , walter de maria , michael heizer , dennis oppenheim , robert smithson , nancy holt , vito acconci , virginia dwan , charles ross , paula cooper , willoughby sharp , pamela sharp , lawrence weiner , carl andre , gianfranco gorgoni and harald szeemann . running time 72 minutes . summitridge pictures and rsjc llc present a film by james crump . produced by james crump . executive producer ronnie sassoon . producer farley ziegler . producer michel comte . edited by nick tamburri . cinematography by alex themistocleous and robert o\u2019haire . sound design gary gegan and rick ash . written and directed by james crump .\nof course , the gargantuan pieces under discussion in this film aren\u2019t really for museums . ( though key exhibitions at dwan\u2019s gallery in new york , an event at cornell university and a later , less successful event in bern are all discussed in great detail . ) these are works that are meant to be the next great serpent mound or stonehenge , and when you get to hear devoted critics speak passionately ( be it willoughby sharp in archival footage or germano celant today ) one is quickly convinced that future generations of pilgrims will indeed head to the american desert like they do to the great churches of europe .\nmy new brush is a caterpillar .\nit ' s a suitably brash , bold statement that gels with the theme of director james crump ' s documentary on the land art movement , troublemakers . by directing a lens\u2014a wide - angle one\u2014on a movement that sought to remove artwork from galleries and reshape both the landscape and the commercial aspects of the art world , crump doesn ' t just bring attention to the personalities and patrons behind these massive non - commercial works . by putting the cultural confluences and anti - establishment fervor in focus , he asks important questions about which , if any , artists are willing to take the kinds of risks that created such massive earthen sculptures . in a post - hirst era of hyper speculation in the art world , who has the patience ( and funding ) to fashion a spiral of earth in the middle of a lake , like robert smithson , create a massive city in the desert , like michael heizer , or reshape a volcanic crater , like james turrell ?\nthere\u2019d be no point in not glamorising these renegade artists , but crump does a good job of keeping them human . commentary from living contemporaries ( among them , artist lawrence weiner , whose dulcet tones , muppet - esque beard and compassionate attitude make him among the world\u2019s finest interview subjects ) remind us that after the flash of inspiration , the 99 % of perspiration is more keenly felt with large scale projects like these . there is also no pussyfooting around that most gauche of subject : dough . gallery owner and 3m heiress virginia dwan , interviewed in the film , had her chequebook out during land art\u2019s halcyon days , and that\u2019s how everyone stayed fed . no scotch tape , no spiral jetty .\nnorway ' s munch museum hosts a cocktail reception to announce the inaugural winner of the edward munch art award on friday , december 4 , 8 to 10 p . m . , in the shelborne wyndham grand hotel ( 1801 collins avenue , south beach ) . rsvp required . the event is co -

clumsy at times . ending : i hope this isn\u2019t what really happened .\nthe film basically consists of two intertwined strands , the first dealing with lee su - yon\u2019s romance with an emerging japanese musician yuri , played by ex - high and mighty color lead singer , maakii , while the other is a larger analysis of japan\u2019s attitude towards koreans living in the country from a number of different viewpoints . certainly the film is at its strongest when it\u2019s dealing with the latter . from my own point of view as a westerner that doesn\u2019t know much about this very specific case of ethnic tension between koreans and japanese , the exposition is both eye - opening and commendable .\nthe romantic aspect of the story is adequate , but not brilliant . there\u2019s enough weight to the relationship that it makes sense , but there\u2019s simply not enough to the characters , particularly of su - yon , to leave an impression . the characterization of su - yon , the main character , is easily the achilles\u2019 heel of the movie . simply put , he\u2019s portrayed as bland , without interesting flaws or much personality , but with enough na\u00efve wisdom to have the perfect piece of advice for every troubled person he encounters ( which often challenges believability ) . yuri is fortunately much more interesting ; obstinate and principled ( she has one of the best scenes in the film when she throws a glass of water at an obnoxious record producer ) , she laments the breakup of her family and her strained relationship with her racist , besieged father , and the similarities she sees between the two of them .\nher father , played by takenaka naoto , is another noteworthy character , but his irrational attitude towards koreans is never fully explained outside of the ambiguous suggestion that it was borne out of a failed business deal . considering the primary contention of the film , that the racial tension is a warped consequence of a larger societal apathy ( the history between the two countries is mostly treated as secondary and not thoroughly explained , taken , i assume , as largely understood by the audience ) , they missed a great opportunity to really say something about this particular character in his unique position at the centre of both primary aspects of the movie , ie , the romance and the social commentary .\nthe korean policy of mandatory military service was briefly addressed , but nothing of consequence was said in this scene , which made me wonder why it was brought up at all . the movie also has some shocking pacing ( the entire first half could have been compressed into thirty minutes ) and gets quite heavy and clumsy with its drama . the final decisions some of the characters came to , particularly yuri and her father , struck me as rather insensitive . there\u2019s just enough worthwhile stuff in this film to make it watchable , and while i\u2019m not quite so cynical ( operative word being \u201cquite\u201d ) as to suggest that it was little more than a vehicle for maakii \u2019s career , i do think several things could have been handled far better , not least of which included its respect to the memory of the departed whose story its supposedly based on .\nin january 2001 , a south korean student named lee su - hyun was waiting for the subway in tokyo when a japanese man fell on the tracks . lee and another japanese man jumped onto the rails in an attempt to get him out of the way before an oncoming train reached the station . sadly , they were unsuccessful and all three men were killed .\nonce in tokyo , his love of rock music draws him to japan\u2019s thriving live music scene . while watching street performances , he meets and falls for yuri , an aspiring japanese singer with a powerful voice but a troubled family life . yuri ( played by j - pop singer maki onaga ) is in constant conflict with her divorced father , a bitter man who owns a small run - down rock club .\nthe majority of the film revolves around su - hyun and yuri as their relationship grows from mutual curiosity to friendship and finally romance . su - hyun becomes an anchor for yuri , helping to get her music and family life in order , and providing her with the support and love she needs .\nas may be expected , the film goes out of its way to cast su - hyun in an idealized light . athletic , popular and good with the guitar , su - hyun is portrayed as an extremely well - adjusted young man with strong family values and a firm sense of morality ; there are several scenes in which he steps in to help someone in trouble .\nin addition , the movie carefully establishes su - hyun\u2019s korean identity with scenes of korean - style family meals , ancestral rituals and traditional music performances . while perhaps providing a cultural context for japanese moviegoers , these idealized moments also serve to show su - hyun as being deeply rooted in tradition , a trait that his modernized japanese friends sorely lack .\nindeed , there is an implied criticism of japanese society in presenting su - hyun in such a heroic and stereotypical fashion . particularly in scenes that highlight japanese prejudice towards koreans , director junji hanado seems to accuse his country of losing touch with important moral and traditional values still upheld by fine korean men such as su - hyun .\ni definitely won\u2019t want to miss this if it\u2019s showing on our local cinemas .\nthe plot reminds me of virgin snow and taiyou no uta . i want to watch it .\nhello it is test . winrar provides the full rar and zip file support , can decompress cab , gzip , ace and other archive formats . rqnulpwigvclhpvtjntodvsqifajouthhsahello\ni already watch this i love the story he\u2019s such a hero and a role model in all of us and how he changes the impact in both korean\u2019s and japanese in their own issue\u2019s in the past .\nnice review . amazing story . good but sad movie . my review here : urltoken\nit\u2019s truly very complicated in this busy life to listen news on tv , so i simply use internet for that reason , and get the most up - to - date information .\n' bof ' jang ja yeon commits suicide . . . last phonecall ,\ni want to die\nhumilating seo taiji cf , young girl :\ni ' m a seo taiji fan . who are you uncle ?\nprivacy & cookies : this site uses cookies . by continuing to use this website , you agree to their use . to find out more , including how to control cookies , see here : cookie policy\njourney of military school graduate student soo - hyun ( lee taesung ) , who travels from korea to japan for further education . he meets yuri ( makii ) . as both share similar interests in music , they become closer while dealing with language and racial barriers .\nit looks like we don ' t have a synopsis for this title yet . be the first to contribute ! just click the\nedit page\nbutton at the bottom of the page or learn more in the synopsis submission guide .\nthe film is based on a true story , soo - hyun ( lee taesung ) travels from korea , studying in japan he meets yuri ( high and mighty color ' s lead singer , maakii ) . both share similar interests in music and sports as they become closer while dealing with language and racial barriers .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\n/ / urltoken\nby joon soh contributing writer in january 2001 , a south korean student named lee su - hyun was waiting for the subway in tokyo when a japanese man fell on the tracks . lee and another japanese man j , . . .\nnew actor lee tae - sung has seen his popularity growing in japan with the release of his movie there entitled\n, . . .\nactor lee tae - sung and singer hong kyung - min will hold a film concert in tokyo on ja , . . .\ncomment policy - stay on topic and do not spam . - post only in english , as this is an english language community . - do not request or mention illegal download / streaming services . - do not post sexist , racist , homophobic or other hateful and discriminatory content . - refrain from abusive language . - no graphic content allowed . - respect the right of other users to share their opinion . arguments are welcome , fights are not . comments which break the rules will be moderated or erased . repeated rule breaking will result in warnings followed by blacklisting upon non - compliance .\nsubscribe to hancinema pure to remove ads from the website ( not > for episode and movie videos ) for us $ 0 . 99 monthly or us $ 7 . 99 yearly ( you can cancel anytime ) . the first step is to be a member , please click here : sign up , then a subscribe button will show up .\nonce in tokyo , his love of rock music draws him to japan ' s thriving live music scene . while watching street performances , he meets and falls for yuri , an aspiring japanese singer with a powerful voice but a troubled family life . yuri ( played by j - pop singer maki onaga ) is in constant conflict with her divorced father , a bitter man who owns a small run - down rock club .\nin addition , the movie carefully establishes su - hyun ' s korean identity with scenes of korean - style family meals , ancestral rituals and traditional music performances . while perhaps providing a cultural context for japanese moviegoers , these idealized moments also serve to show su - hyun as being deeply rooted in tradition , a trait that his modernized japanese friends sorely lack ."]}

city gangs that raise their industrial pipes and flick their switchblades and go on a tribal - war rampage as easily as they rap or wax poetic about their city , their personal aspirations and frustrations , like the minstrels of more bucolic , less violent times .\nlibiran thoroughly knows his geography . his tondo reeks of the true effluent of human sewage , pulsing with the din and blare of its noise and confusion , to the howl of animals led to their slaughter in vitas . but amid the racket are also humanity and tenderness , as shown by the warm interaction during family dinners of the gang members .\nthis is tondo in all its singeing but lyrical heights , in all its ballast and flare . housewives pounce on a meralco inspector , who uses binoculars to read the meters perched on extraordinary heights beyond human tampering , to protest high power rates . gangs foster fellowship though the brutality of hazing and the camaraderie of drinking sessions . they celebrate life in and out of season , even as they seem bent on a bloodbath for the killing season . there\u2019s no let - up to life and passion .\nbut alas , their passion is inexorably a bloodlust . even when they take part in the pagan revelry that characterizes the feast of the santo nino , a celebration of the child jesus in his infancy and budding promise , the gangs can\u2019t help but be drawn to crucifying one another in the golgotha of the streets , snuffing out one another\u2019s lives with one whack of machetes and ice - picks , one angry eruption of their improvised shotguns . for all of their death wish , one wonders how they could have reached their young adulthood at all . or why they have to reach this far only for them to cut each other to pieces .\nlibiran seems to imply that even if they\u2019re hell - bent on gory deaths , these gangs have the fire of art and poetry\u2014their rap - verses not only scorching protest songs of the inhumanity of their condition , but also assays at creation that are some sort of a reverse affirmation of life . much like the old vendor of \u201cpagpag , \u201d leftover fried chicken scavenged from the garbage dump that\u2019s dusted off ( \u201cpagpag\u201d literally means to dust off the dirt ) for another frying and selling ; he recites grand verses to sell his recycled goods\u2014his poetic lines endowing his dumped and dead chicken with new life ."]}

festivals and ministry of defense , commemorating 70th indian independence day . see more \u00bb\nthe film has used flashback and documentary techniques with real footages and newspaper articles , it can be consider as a biopic on the life of sardar vallbhbhai patel . all evidence related to the events is there . in the film viewer can observe the larger than life image of sardar patel , and all other characters like nehru and mahatma gandhi are downplayed .\nhe is the son of director veeru devgan , is a stunt choreographer and action film director and his mother , veena , is a film producer . devgan\u2019s brother , anil devgan , is a hindi , film director . in 1991 , devgan began his professional career in phool aur kaante against madhoo .\nabhay was the hindi adaptation of aalavandhan

there were sardar and victims of this action plan were craving for help towards sardar , so we can say that country was burning and only hope was sardar . even after the independence most of party members have selected sardar as the prime minister but because of jawaharlal nehru sardar patel has taken his foot back and allowed nehru to be the prime minister .\nsardar patel was very much in favour nonviolence , but when muslim and jinnah has started direct action plan , he quit the idea of being non violent and sufferer . sardar can be considered more practical man in comparison of gandhi and nehru . very effective convincing power we can observe in sardar , the way he convince gandhi by saying that ,\nthis biographical epic on sardar patel concentrates largely on the last five years of sradars life from 1945 to 1950 when he strode on the national scene , a key figure in wresting indias independence and integrating the nation . the film deals with all the myriad and debilitating problems that india faced in its pre and immediate post independence period , which turned out to be sardar patels finest hour when problem after monumental problem was solved by sardar patel . this film is a tribute to the sardars inestimable contribution to the making of free india , a memory that can stead to face the problems of india today and tomorrow .\nat the end of the movie when gandhiji died , his dead body becomes a symbol of friendship or we can say reunion of sardar and nehru and at the end , after plan crash sardar is sitting in free india from kashmir to kanya kumari .\nthe symbolism of three monkeys has shown in the film as a deep psyche of sardar and nehru and its effect on gandhi . in the scenes of conversations of gandhi with sardar and nehru we could see the focus of camera is first upon white statues of three monkeys and when there are arguments between these three characters we could see the colour of statue is black . it is a deep archetypal symbolism of colour .\nby watching the film we come to know about various fact of sardar and how he was a person and as a freedom fighter . we can see two different personalities of him , as a person he was against gandhi before he met him and abusing him but after one meeting with gandhi he became follower of gandhi .\nthe starting of the movie is very significant , the very first scene is of an office of press , where the reporters are discussing about the condition of nation after independence ; where people wanted old days of britishraj back , and thinking that whatever freedom fighters have done is of no use . in another scene we can see that the photographs of sardar patel are shattered on the floor and they are collecting the photographs as if they are collecting the old memories and their lost identity among people and they decides to make film on sardar patel .\najay devgan is a noted indian bollywood actor , film director , and producer . he is widely considered as one of the most popular actors of hindi cinema who has appeared in over a hundred hindi films .\nthe film , which is about the last five years of the indian leader subhas chandra ' s life , also includes his life ' s story in flashback sequences . however , it does not cover the controversy surrounding bose ' s death .\nthe difference between the two movies may lie in the plot and the fact that vince vaughn ' s sperm donations amounted to a total of 533 kids being born as compared to ayyushman ' s 53 ( guess vince is more fertile ) . but the basic idea of the film , sperm donation , has been inspired by vicky donor .\ntill now ajay acted in 107 movies . in his acting career , ajay\u2019s hits are 13 , semi - hits are 26 , flops are 30 and disasters are 14 . his biggest blockbusters are rajneeti and golmaal 3 . also , devgan owns a production company ajay devgn films which was established in 2000 . in 2008 he debuted as a film director with \u201cu me aur hum\u201d .\nthe sardar\u2019s colleague jagjivan ram had not been so fortunate . he was seriously injured in a boac airliner\u2019s crash in iran shortly before independence in which several people were killed . so he was the only cabinet minister who was unable to attend the independence celebrations on august 15 , 1947 . a brief account of the crash is here ( though it does not mention his name ) :\nfootnote : the maharaja of patiala was one of the passengers on the sardar\u2019s aircraft . earlier , as yuvraj of patiala , he had played one test match for india in 1933 - 34 scoring a fifty . he would have played more tests for india if he was not actively involved in politics . his son captain amarinder singh , continues to be an important force in punjab\u2019s politics .\na little known fact about sardar patel : he had a little adventure when his plane force - landed near shahpura about 65 km north of jaipur on march 29 , 1949 where he was going to attend the inauguration of the new state of rajasthan . he and the other occupants of the aircraft were unhurt , but his whereabouts were not known for a few hours until he reappeared in jaipur . the other passengers included his daughter maniben and the maharaja of patiala .\nan amazing movie on an indian politician , which is probably better than gandhi by sir attenborough . paresh rawal , always a brilliant actor , was outstanding in this movie . the subtleties of politics at that time , the characterization and the attention to minute details makes it a gripping movie from the start to the end . yes , probably every aspect of sardar ' s life was not covered but then it would be unrealistic to do so in a movie . the movie tries to portray the strong political will of the great man , especially during the biggest crisis state of indian history , the partition , and succeeds in it . his quick decisiveness , his ability to convince congress , his differences with nehru on almost all major issues , are all lucidly elaborated and well executed . the movie game me goosebumps , that such a strong man indeed existed on earth . sardar patel was responsible for shaping india as we currently know if . if only he was india ' s first prime minister ( sigh ) . all in all , a must watch for all indians , current politicians included !\nit is 1993 and 21 - year - old lance armstrong ( ben foster ) is making his debut in the tour de france . the sunday times journalist , david walsh ( chris o\u2019dowd ) interviews the young lance over a game of table football . lance is determined and hugely self - confident , as well as extremely competitive . chatting with his press colleagues afterwards , david tells them how cocky lance was . when they ask if he is a contender , david says he absolutely is \u2013 in the one day classic races . on the starting line at a belgian one day race , johan bruyneel ( denis menochet ) tells the young upstart lance that he will never win as others have more red cells in their blood \u2013 they are doping . the race plays out as bruyneel predicted . meanwhile in a lecture hall , dr michele ferrari ( guillaume canet ) is learning about trials of the drug epo . during the race , lance watches hopelessly as three members of one team drop everybody else and easily finish in the top three places . at the lecture , ferrari asks about the use of epo in sport , but is told that would be unethical . ferrari shrugs . at the belgian race press conference , ferrari is on stage with the winners , a member of their team . questioned as to problems with the use of epo , he once again dismisses all concerns . lance tries to convince his hesitant teammate frankie andreu ( edward hogg ) that they have to use epo to be in with a chance . lance approaches ferrari and tells him he wants to join his \u201cprogram\u201d , but the doctor dismisses him telling him that he doesn\u2019t have the right physique to be a good climber . lance buys epo for his team at a pharmacy in switzerland . a year later , back at the belgian one day classic , it is now lance dropping the peloton and winning the race by a huge margin . however after the celebrations , lance starts to cough up blood . his doctor diagnoses testicular cancer , at the third , and final , stage . treatment begins and lance is subjected to gruelling rounds of surgery and chemotherapy . he pushes himself even when at his lowest and tries to walk down the hospital corridor , but collapses into a wheelchair .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nan account of

decides to immerse himself in the freedom struggle , and created awareness in the entire state of gujarat so much so that he was considered eligible for the position of the first prime minister of an independent india . but when the congress working committee supported jawarhal nehru , vallabhai bowed out amidst intense debate on the creation of pakistan by mohammad ali jinnah of the muslim league . while mohandas was not inclined to endorse any move to partition india , mountbatten , the british viceroy , along with jawarharlal , vallabhai , and others were in favor of partitioning india and allowing jinnah to create two pakistan , one each on the borders of rajastan and bengal respectively , in order to prevent any bloodshed . . . .\n4 of 4 people found this review helpful . was this

inspired by hollywood movies . but did you know that this happens the other way around as well ? here is a list of 10 hollywood flicks that were inspired by bollywood films :\nchandran rutnam had to cast academy award winner ben kingsley to pull off naseeruddin shah ' s character from a wednesday . yes , a common man is not just inspired but is an official remake of neeraj pandey ' s masterpiece .\napart from the name ( direct translation ) and the love triangle , the epic scene of the stalker , shahrukh khan , carving k - k - k - kiran ' s name on his chest has also been adapted by james foley in his american thriller , fear .\nwell the best friend may not be a tapori as portrayed by aamir khan , but the basic plot of the movie is a girl caught in a love triangle between her best friend and a movie star .\nthough the plot differs , this famous thriller by quentin tarentino had action sequences which he himself told anurag kashyap were inspired by the kamal hassan - starrer abhay .\npearl harbor was less about pearl harbor but more about a romantic love triangle between two best friends and a girl . plots for both movies are fairly similar and the only difference between the two movies was that sangam had only one friend as a pilot whereas its hollywood counterpart had both .\nthe makers of leap year claimed the movie was not inspired by jab we met . but why don ' t you decide for yourself ? a bubbly , highly - talkative girl on her way to propose to her boyfriend meets a stranger and shares a hotel room with him . they fall in love , get separated but eventually re - unite and get married .\njennifer aniston = sushmita sen & adam sandler = salman khan . yes , that does not really add up , but the basic plots of both movies are very similar .\nboth these movies were inspired by cactus flower ( 1969 ) but with a different storyline .\nwe are all aware that the bollywood movie partner is said to be a copy of hitch . but it looks like hitch itself was inspired by the plot of chhoti si baat where a guy who fails to woo a girl takes help of a man who makes it his profession to help people with similar problems .\nthe last gun makers of longding : an inside story | scoopwhoop presents chase ep . 3\nas he recovers , frankie and his wife betsy ( elaine cassidy ) visit lance in hospital . a doctor arrives for a consultation , and lance tells his friends to stay . lance makes a slow but determined recovery . he travels to ferrara , italy , to the home of dr ferrari . through his illness , he has lost the weight required of him and ferrari is convinced enough by his will to win to take him on . he subjects lance to a huge range of tests , analysis and training exercises so that he is no longer \u2018confined by the limits of his physiology\u2019 and lance reaches peak fitness , getting to grips with some of the substances and doping methods which would propel his career forward along the way . during this time , the so - called \u2018festina affair\u2019 has erupted after a team soigneur has been caught with performance enhancing drugs . this has led to police raids across the tour and the discovery that drug use is rife . ferrari and armstrong laugh at them for getting caught . lance brings bruyneel on board as director , explaining that following his illness the only team that would take him are the very minor us postal team . bruyneel says that they have to go out to win , and lance says that after his cancer he never wants to come so close to losing again . lance , bruyneel and ferrari head up the team\u2019s rigorous training programme , at altitude .\nlance reunites with agent bill stapleton ( lee pace ) who had spotted lance\u2019s commercial potential before he got sick . bill now sees an ever more potent story , especially when lance passionately announces that he wants to start a cancer charity . 4 it is 1999 . david in his press car banters about whether this year really is to be rebranded the tour of renewal , after last year\u2019s drugs farce . they say that armstrong has risen from the dead and as an early supporter david says that he really thinks lance can win a stage . there is jubilation when lance does win the opening stage . david writes about the ensuing mountain stage . wearing the winner\u2019s yellow jersey , lance starts to attack on the galibier climb ; he breaks away with tremendous power leaving the peloton far below . there is excitement in the press room . david alone is silent . lance reaches the finish in sestriere way ahead of the peloton . his previous best in the mountains was 39th . david reminds his colleagues about last year\u2019s doping scandal and that the speeds have gone up this year , but they don\u2019t listen . they reply that the racers wouldn\u2019t be able to hide it . david retorts that lance rode so fast up the steep mountain that he had to use his brakes . he talks to a young rider who , according to his physiology , should be faster than lance and who shares his own suspicions with david . lance then seeks out this young rider and warns him off .\nin the 2003 tour , lance achieves his fifth win . lance is still surreptitiously meeting ferrari , although ferrari has now been found guilty and banned from sports and medical practice . cyclist felippo simeoni has testified against him , so lance approaches him during the next stage and blatantly threatens to destroy him . floyd watches on with increasing discomfort , but lance is not to be deterred . the team have now become blas\u00e9 about their doping : their bus pulls over on a pyrenean roadside for them to hook up to drips in the midst of the cavalcade . only floyd is becoming increasingly uneasy . 5 the uci call a meeting with lance to discuss an epo test . the official appears anxious as he tells lance that the test was borderline but not conclusive . stapleton and lance are obviously not happy but lance seems calm , he says that he will leave it to them to do what is best for the sport . lance prepares for a press conference anticipating the inevitable question about doping . once on stage , he is steely eyed and defensive . he reiterates his mantra that he has never tested positive for performance enhancing drugs . david is in the room and probes lance about the image of cycling and his association with a doctor so heavily embroiled in doping . lance puts him down and dismisses these challenges , telling them all that they all have to fall back in love with cycling .\nfloyd watches on from the back of the room . later he confronts bruyneel about the drugs and about the untouchable lance with his \u201ccancer shield\u201d . unperturbed , bruyneel tells floyd that he can always leave . betsy has now heard about david and the two of them talk . she tells him about the conversation in the hospital room , and david in turn reports this to his editor . now david has started to attract attention . emma contacts him and passes on all the incriminating evidence that she has . cyclist stephen swart also has information to support david\u2019s case . david has now gathered enough evidence for his editor to finally agree that he can publish his story in the newspaper , under the headline \u2018la confidential\u2019 . david is invited to texas by bob hamman ( dustin hoffman ) , an insurer for the us postal team who now has doubts that lance is entitled to the $ 5 million bonuses that he is owed for his tour triumphs . if lance is cheating in races , then he is also cheating him . lance is incensed by david\u2019s story . he rages about emma , who he presumes tipped david off , calling her an \u2019alcoholic whore\u2018 , and gives stapleton a series of commands \u2013 to threaten emma , get frankie to \u2018muzzle\u2018 his wife , \u2019stonewall\u2018 walsh , find out who he travels with and freeze him out , offer david\u2019s american publisher lance\u2019s new book to create a conflict of interest . lance rants that he will not be brought down . whilst lance brings a libel case against the sunday times , an arbitration case is mounted against lance by bob hamman . stapleton threatens frankie , and lance defames him to potential employers . at arbritration , lance arrogantly and angrily deflects all the questions . bruyneel warns off david\u2019s colleagues at the tour . the sunday times loses to lance and pays out \u00a3300 , 000 in damages . hamman also loses to lance and is forced to pay out the $ 5 million bonus money , but he tells stapleton that he knows lance has lied under oath . stapleton smirks that lance will retire and then nothing can touch him .\nthe following tour is won by floyd , but he gets caught using testosterone . although he denies it ( unconvincingly ) , he is stripped of his title . floyd returns to his community . meanwhile lance\u2019s time is now spent making mindless commercials and giving corporate speeches . lance decides that after four years , he is going to make a tour comeback . bruyneel tells him that it is a bad idea - he is too old , it\u2019s vain and they have got away with it until now . but lance won\u2019t quit , he says he is coming back for the fight against cancer .\nfloyd , who is still ostracised from the sport , calls imploring lance to have him on the team , but lance dismisses him - sorry , you got caught . the tour does not go well for lance . he can\u2019t keep pace with the new star on his team , alberto contador , who goes on to win , leaving him in third place . contador then humiliates him further by telling the press that he allowed lance his third position . meanwhile feeling like he has no options , floyd decides to turn himself in to the us anti - doping agency\u2019s travis tygart . he exposes lance , who is finally recognised as the leader in a culture of doping . the tide is finally turning against lance . he receives a lifetime ban from sports . he is a broken man . lance is interviewed by oprah winfrey , david watches with his editor on tv . grim faced and broken , lance finally admits he doped in every tour that he won . we see lance cycle to the remote dead man\u2019s hole , and look down into the deep water . lance tells oprah that it was a mythic story but it wasn\u2019t true . lance plunges into the water hole . he cycles home , alone on an empty road

the - field behavior . along with albert finney , harris was one of the first british actors to be influenced by the work of marlon brando and the techniques developed by the actors studio , and it would not be wrong to think of the character of frank as a descendant of stanley kowalski . like many of their contemporaries in the era of the angry young man , both anderson and harris were also steeped in italian neorealism , another strong influence on the film ' s style and tone . while anderson would go on to produce more cerebral and explicit critiques of british society , none of his other films approach this one in terms of raw emotional power .\nscottish writer and former vocalist for the punk band the skids , richard jobson makes his . . .\nscottish writer and former vocalist for the punk band the skids , richard jobson makes his directorial debut with 16 years of alcohol , the stylized psychological drama based on his own semi -

fiction book annie ' s coming out by disability activists rosemary crossley and anne mcdonald . the book tells the story of mcdonald ' s early life in a government institution for people with severe disabilities and her subsequent release .\nit ' s important to note that this film covers events that took place in america during the 70s . released in 1982 , i first saw this film in the late 80s . i was actually staying in a residential disabled children ' s home at the time . the comparison with my lovely surroundings could not have been starker . where i stayed was a place of luxury compared to the miserable hospital annie was imprisoned in . i was outraged that people could be treated so badly . that said , the film does have it ' s moments that make you smile , and ultimately has a happy ending ( at least for annie ) . i hope that ' s not a spoiler , but i think it ' s important . if by the description of the film you ' re thinking this is for you , then it definitely is . i have also read the book , and as the write up above comments , there is much more to the true story that is not told in the film , so makes a good accompaniement . i was pleased a few years ago to receive an email from annie & rosemary , who are still fighting for the rights of disabled children in australia , although obviously times have changed dramatically thank goodness . i have seen this film many times , i practically know it word for word , but i ' ve ordered this as i really want to hear the commentary .\ni had seen this film many years before and knew it was based on a true story . it ' s a good film about the empowerment of people who may have a disability ; one that everyone should see at least once in their life . maybe not quite as good as ' the miracle worker ' ( 1962 ) with anne bancroft in the story of helen keller but not far from it . i recommend it to you .\nwill not play on the two main dvd players . i borrowed a portable dvd player and this movie will play on this . shouldn ' t the dvd play on all of my dvd players ?\na true and very moving story . the young girl playing the role of annie is captivating . annie ' s story of discovery and ultimate freedom shouldn ' t be missed . i knew the story going into the viewing , and was pleased to see it was done beautifully .\nprime members enjoy fast & free shipping , unlimited streaming of movies and tv shows with prime video and many more exclusive benefits .\nafter viewing product detail pages , look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages you are interested in .\nthe first take it from here broadcast was on 23rd march 1948 , coinciding with jimmy\u2019s twenty - eighth birthday , but seemed to pass by unnoticed according to reactions the next day . in fact the audience figures for the whole series were low , but largely thanks to charles maxwell\u2019s support , it lasted six months . the shows settled into a format which was to see them through the next five series as well , and already familiar characters emerged , such as dick bentley\u2019s poet who always began his monologue with the strangulated cry \u201coh mavis ! \u201d , and joy\u2019s husky - voiced miss arundel , who interpreted every remark as a reference to her red - blooded fianc\u00e9 , gilbert .\nmuir & norden delighted in puns , and later continued to indulge with their own radio show my word . tifh scripts were liberally injected with exchanges such as this between king henry viii and his valet : \u2018cornelius , i must find a man who is minded to show his fealty towards me\u2019 \u2013 \u2018me , your majesty , me ! no man is more fealty - minded than i am ! \u2019 . another favourite mirth - raiser was the personal reference , and not a show went by without a gag about dick\u2019s age . so there was jimmy unable to count the candles on dick\u2019s birthday cake because the heat drove him back , jimmy agreeing that dick is his oldest friend : \u2018there are friends i\u2019ve known longer , but you\u2019re the oldest ! \u2019 , and in tifh\u2019s contribution to a special gala radio show for the coronation , dick is informed that he was asked to attend because he is the only actor on the bbc who\u2019s been an elizabethan both times ! jim , of course , also comes in for a serve , common topics being his girth and his nasal appendages . in one opening , joy is praising window boxes with flowers in full bloom : \u2018it must be lovely to lean out of the window and have a mass of sweet smelling foliage growing right under your nose , jimmy\u2019 \u2013 \u2018aren\u2019t you being rather personal , dear ? \u2019\nother program conventions such as the trite theme song and the staid closing credits were perverted : the tifh theme boasted that this was the show with \u2018every minute packed with seconds\u2019 , and the announcements at the end were of the ilk : \u2018frank muir & denis norden wrote the script in a weekend and charles maxwell produced it in a weak moment\u2019 , or for a special broadcast from the naval barracks at portsmouth : \u2018charles maxwell captained the crew , while frank muir and denis norden as usual pumped the bilge\u2019 . amongst the closing credits was the name herbert mostyn , which was not in fact a real person but rather the middle names of frank and denis respectively and represented their contributions , reading odd lines or taking on regular small parts .\nwith increasing popularity during the third series , impresario jack hylton suggested that the show could transfer to the stage , and the three stars appeared at the top of a variety bill at the victoria palace for a short while before moving to the prince of wales theatre . after a summer season at blackpool , the show opened at the adelphi in london on 31st october 1950 under the negotiated title take it from us . it was a spectacular production with a troupe of chorus girls , an adagio act , lavish sets , solo spots for joy , dick and jimmy ( the latter with assistance from his euphonium ) and a finale sketch \u2018friends , romans , countrymen\u2019 or \u2018what a sphinx ! \u2019 , adapted by future carry on script -

[ 4 ]\neditor barry keith grant is director of the film studies program at brock university in st . catharines , ontario , canada .\nthe stepfather is a 1987 american psychological horror thriller film directed by joseph ruben and starring terry o ' quinn , jill schoelen and shelley hack . o ' quinn stars as henry morrison , an identity - assuming serial killer who remarries a widow with a teenage daughter . after previously killing his family and changing his identity , his killing spree continues after his stepdaughter becomes suspicious about him . it is loosely based on the life of mass murderer john list , although the plot is more commonly associated with slasher films of the era than a true story . the film was written by donald e . westlake , from a story by westlake , carolyn lefcourt and brian garfield .\nthe stepfather ( the 1987 version ) is not like most slasher films ; it is a uniquely feminist horror film . carol j . clover\u2019s theory of the \u201cfinal girl\u201d * , the trope in horror cinema that leaves one unique girl as the sole survivor , is brilliant and generally accurate . but our heroine , stephanie , is not like other final girls . for one , she is one of the only girls in the film . the film is full of empty , impotent signifiers of male power : the male lieutenant , the male therapist , the male high school teacher , the male hero / amateur detective , the male reporter and , of course , stephanie\u2019s dead father . more importantly , throughout the duration of this film no women are killed . let me repeat that : no women are killed . it may not be obvious to some viewers , but it is strikingly obvious to me , a feminist who loves horror films . when the film opens , jerry ( or henry morrison , his identity before jerry ) has already killed his previous family , which we know contained a wife and at least one daughter , but during the film only men are slaughtered . they are men who attempt to rescue stephanie and her mother susan , but the only person who actually rescues stephanie is stephanie .\nthe makeup artist for the stepfather also gets a nod from me . we see jerry transform into a different human being twice in the film ( for a total of three different appearances ) and he never looks quite the same each time . in fact during the last transformation he actually appears to be a much older man .\nadaptational villainy : the stepfather , who comes across as much more of a cold - blooded sociopath in the remake compared to his predecessor , who was probably insane .\nthere ' s a shot towards the end of the film where several vampires run from the protection of car in slow - motion . it still has the power to chill the blood even after multiple viewings . near dark is a classic film , and one well worth tracking down on blu - ray .\nnever trust a trailer : that awesome swinging buzzsaw scene that was in all the trailers and tv spots ? its completely absent from the film .\nhorror doesn ' t settle for simple tuesday : not counting the prologue , stepfather iii begins on easter , and ends on father ' s day .\nthis list shows all films released in 1987 , including films that went direct - to - video , or only got an international theatrical release . for each film , we use the first date on which it was made available to the public , which might include international theatrical or domestic video releases that were a few days , or sometimes more , earlier than the domestic ( us / canada ) theatrical release .\nreleased by new century vista film company in june , the film eked out a total of just under $ 2 . 5 million in its theatrical release , despite some glowing reviews from critics . it fared better on home video , with the suburbia soaked atmosphere playing perfectly to the manicured lawns and white picket fences crowd . if you were , are , or will be a teenaged suburbanite , the stepfather is for you . ( having a murderous parent is not necessary to enjoy the film , but i suppose it would add a little resonance . )\nthe stepfather .\nwe want to give the new flick the benefit of the doubt . that , and we just can ' t get behind\ndisturbia ,\narguably the movie that made labeouf a star .\ndirect download : srs - 04 - thestepfather - 2009 . mp3 category : stepfather retrospective - - posted at : 11 : 00am edt\nupon revisiting the stepfather ( in preparation for watching the sequels for the first time ) , i can ' t help but feel as though this movie is a bit over - rated .\npeter jackson ' s splatter - ific calling card , this gonzo 1987 effort is nominally concerned with a small new zealand town under siege from aliens , but it ' s really about the insanely gory , over - the - top b - movie special effects that jackson created on his own .\nduring its opening weekend , the stepfather grossed around $ 260 , 587 ; it was released in 148 movie theatres and earned a total domestic gross of $ 2 , 488 , 740 . [ 1 ] film critic roger ebert from the chicago sun times gave the movie 2 . 5 stars , and commented :\nmysterious past : four films and the stepfather still doesn ' t have an origin . . . or even a real name . closest we get is doctor danvers calling him\nbill krieger\nin the second film , though they don ' t actually outright state if that ' s his real name , or an old alias . the stepfather also apparently tells danvers about his past . . . offscreen . . . he also could have been lying .\nthe actors in the film do a nice job at portraying the film\u2019s simple characters , even though the thin story does not push the characters very far . familiar faces like t . v . \u2019s walsh and badgley are pretty faces with talent , but decent acting doesn\u2019t go far to save what is ultimately a stale story .\noverprotective dad : when the stepfather sees his stepdaughter stephanie kissing a boy named paul he completely freaks out , claiming paul was going to try and rape stephanie .\nthe stepfather has an 86 % approval rating from rotten tomatoes and an average rating of 6 . 7 / 10 out of 29 reviews . film critic roger ebert , from the chicago sun times , gave the movie 2 . 5 stars out of 4 , and commented :\nviolence itself seems to sell at the box office , even when it ' s divorced from any context . maybe that ' s what the filmmakers were thinking . what often happens , though , is that in an otherwise flawed film there are a couple of things that are wonderful . the stepfather has one wonderful element : terry o ' quinn ' s performance .\nebiri : exactly . the central relationship between the sisters in this film is so involving , even tender , that it\u2019s hard to step back and get any kicks from the genre elements in this film . it\u2019s really a tragedy , and when i first saw it , years ago , the final shot absolutely wiped the floor with me .\ni have many names : there is no way of telling what the stepfather ' s real name is , or which one of them he believes it to be .\nstandard ' 50s father : the stepfather seems to think of himself as this , and at one point is explicitly compared to ward cleaver from leave it to beaver .\nlike many of the best comedies and tragedies , this weimar - era silent film understands how each mode is often a hair ' s breadth from the other .\nthis entry ' s a little bit of a cheat , because the stepfather was actually shot in 1985 and shelved for two years . but going by its year of release , this taut little thriller still qualifies as a 1987 movie . the plot sounds like your typical\nkiller in our midst\nfare ; a middle - aged maniac goes from place to place , starting new families under assumed names before offing them all horribly after a couple of weeks have passed .\nebiri : i also like the tension between the three leads : for me , their mounting anger at each other and fear of their surroundings really drives the film\u2019s scares , putting the lie to the misguided notion that it\u2019s all gimmick . that said , the gimmick is pretty great , even though it\u2019s also kind of a ripoff of an earlier , inferior film called the last broadcast .\n\u201cwait a minute . . . who am i here ? \u201d is the central question posed by jerry blake in the 1987 slasher film , the stepfather . it is a story of patriarchy in crisis . in a world in which \u201ctraditional\u201d and \u201cold fashioned\u201d ( both characteristics attributed to jerry ) notions of male dominance and the nuclear family are thoroughly challenged , the patriarchal order is undergoing a desperate identity crisis . the film is about a man who marries into a family that eventually disappoints him by not living up to his expectations of the perfect family , so he kills them and moves on to another town and another family . in the stepfather , it is patriarchy that is broken and unable to find a reality in which its conceptualization of self exists . without the structural order \u201cthe father\u201d is accustomed to , he simply does not know who he is , and rather than deal with this and evolve , he chooses to deny reality , destroy it , and recreate it in his own image , which , ultimately , always fails .\nwhile i was watching the film , i was distracted by elements of the idiot plot syndrome - - moments when only an idiot would have made such obvious mistakes .\nbut not too gay : its only pretty close to the end of the film that we realize jackie and leah are lovers , and not just roommates or something .\nindeed , what makes the stepfather so compelling is that it starts from a simple truth about human life ( the everyday lives we lead are performances ) and takes it to a horrifying though honest extreme . unlike freddy krueger or jason voorhees , the monstrous title character of the stepfather is both plausible and a rich metaphor for the danger of traditional patriarchy in a world largely trying to move beyond that tradition .\nthe viewer knows from the beginning that stephanie\u2019s suspicions are well founded\u2014this is a suspense film , not a mystery . the film\u2019s opening sequence lets the viewer in on the title character\u2019s secret by showing o\u2019quinn tie all the potential loose ends at the scene of his most recent crime . he has killed his family in their idyllic suburban home and is subtly changing his appearance to start anew somewhere else .\ncool old guy : father brennan , who shares andy ' s interest in solving mysteries , and even starts helping him to find info on his stepfather .\ni will start this review by saying that the beginning sequence in joseph ruben\u2019s the stepfather is probably one of the most disturbing sequences i have ever seen in a movie . the beginning of the film simply shows henry starting to clean himself up ; at the beginning of the film he wears glasses and has longer hair and a beard . the hair is cut and the beard is shaved off all while henry looks in the mirror . after cleaning himself up the man walks down stairs where we see his families murdered bodies scattered around the room , he walks past them and calmly makes his way out of the door . trust me the scene is way creepier than i could ever describe it .\nan undying procession of sons of dracula and daughters of darkness has animated the horror film genre from the beginning . indeed , in this pioneering exploration of the cinema of fear , barry keith grant and twenty other film critics posit that horror is always rooted in gender , particularly in anxieties about sexual difference and gender politics .\n* for more on the final girl theory , see men , women , and chainsaws : gender in the modern horror film by carol j . clover . it rocks .\nred herring : mark wraynal . we ' re briefly lead to believe he ' s the stepfather , but it turns out to be keith , who kills him via . . .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\nbread , eggs , milk , squick : non - verbal example . the movie begins with the stepfather going about his daily routine . . . then it reveals he ' s murdered his current family .\nthe only halloween film to not feature michael myers\u2014it was intended to turn the franchise into more of an anthology - style series\u2013 season of the witch ( about a conspiracy involving halloween masks ) remains a uniquely unsettling stand - alone film in an e . c . comics - by - way - of - john - carpenter tradition .\nthe film that launched the career of michael rooker , john mcnaughton ' s seminal 1986 serial - killer film takes a gritty , no - frills docudrama approach to its story ( based on real - life convict henry lee lucas ) about a psycho and his partner - in - crime acting on their murderous impulses .\nebiri : reportedly , the tensions were very real behind the camera as well , and rumors abound that spielberg directed as much , if not more , of the film as hooper did . and , of course , it\u2019s been copied many times since \u2014 what is insidious but basically just a more spiritual variation on this film\u2019s main conceit ?\nall the same , the film is by no means a perfect feminist rallying cry . for one thing , it ' s subtler than a rallying cry would be . susan does choose to let the thoroughly conservative jerry into her family , after all\u2014he didn\u2019t force himself in . more damningly , though , the stepfather plays up many shots of the women ( especially stephanie ) for sex appeal . although stephanie spends the whole film in quaint , delightful sweaters , neither she nor her mother ever seem to wear bras or anything else beneath their sweaters , so little is left to the imagination . likewise , the camera lingers gratuitously upon nude jill schoelen in a shower scene ( to the film\u2019s credit , terry o\u2019quinn is likewise shown completely nude in an earlier shower scene ) .\nterry o ' quinn , who portrayed the stepfather in the first two installments of the series , was approached by director nelson mccormick to appear in the remake , but according to producer mark morgan , o ' quinn turned down the offer .

[ 3 ]\nby the time jerry utters his pivotal question , \u201cwho am i here ? \u201d during the suspenseful ( but sort of routine ) slasher finale , we realize we already know the answer : one of the greatest actors to grace a horror film , playing an all - timer in the deranged hall of fame . the stepfather isn\u2019t perfect , and neither is jerry ; but they both build a pretty good birdhouse . and like the sweetest bird , terry o\u2019quinn can sing .\nsomething of a cult - classic nowadays , the stepfather , released in 1987 , was made during a time when hollywood wasn\u2019t afraid to release r - rated horror movies . most modern genre fodder comes bloodless and with a pg - 13 prerequisite , because after all , there\u2019s box - office numbers to consider and young teens love their body count fare . but here\u2019s a movie that represents exactly what \u201880s horror was all about , while also furnishing a ( ironically ) satisfying experience , unlike its comparatively shoddy 2009 remake .\nthe only gruesome part of this film is a dead body found in the family\u2019s freezer , an image which lasts all of five seconds . the rest of the movie drags on because knowing the plot only makes one wonder why the characters are so dumb at figuring it out .\na moment near the end of 1987\u2019s the stepfather crystallizes the elusive fantasy that motivates jerry blake , the damnably old - fashioned serial killer of the title . played with deranged wholesomeness by terry o\u2019quinn , a great character actor who most will recognize as locke on lost , jerry moves from one tree - lined , family - friendly town to another , searching for single mothers in need of a decent , hard - working husband to stabilize the house . as one family situation falls apart , jerry creates a new identity ( along with a convincing disguise ) and begins setting up shop elsewhere , then slaughters the women and children who have so bitterly disappointed him .\nthe main reason i ' m writing anything here is because of my excitement regarding this song by stunt rock , there are tons of audio clips from films and when the opening lines from the song were spoken in the stepfather , i had a mini - freakout .\n( 1980 ) , working again with quaid . about a madcap bunch of waiters , the film didn ' t make much of an impression on critics or the movie going public . it was\na misfire because it obviously tries to take advantage of its predecessor . the psychotic killer from the first film starts the same routine all over again by posing as a marriage counselor and preying on unsuspecting divorcees and widows .\n. what frustrated me about it more than anything , though , was that the original movie was only available on dvd . i mean , it seemed like movie marketing 101 . . . let the oversized hollywood studio make their glossy , double - digit iq remake , and the smaller shop rides the other guys ' marketing budget by re - releasing the original at the same time . i get it now , though . shout ! factory wasn ' t leaving money on the table by holding off on releasing the 1987 take on\nfind the answers to these burning questions here - along with talk of the film ' s history and origins , its critical reception , and its place in pop culture and the franchise . as always , the guys give you their unfiltered opinions .\ncall back : the film has a lot of references to the original . surprising , considering it was made by the same people who brought us the when a stranger calls and prom night remakes , both of which are borderline in name only .\namateur sleuth : james\njim\nogilvie has no formal law enforcement or investigation training , but spent a good chunk of the first movie following the stepfather ' s trail from town to town to apprehend his sister ' s killer outside of the law .\nebiri : the film supposedly presents the gradual decaying of his reality , but sometimes i wonder if it isn\u2019t all a hallucination from the get - go . watch the ease with which he seduces the beautiful debbie harry on a tv talk show ; cronenberg\u2019s vision of the video revolution is really that of a wish fulfillment fantasy gone berserk . the more we want to enter the dreamlife of the video image , the more it wants to enter us . the fact that the film has since dated somewhat , with all those awful analog tv signals and rows and rows of videotapes , now just adds to the discomfiting otherworldliness .\nbruce kawin tells us that\na good horror film takes you down into the depths and shows you something about the landscape .\nlandscape , of course , accommodates multiple perspectives . in the end , the differences of critical opinion in this book mirror the confusion over difference itself that informs our culture at this point in history . yet at the same time this critical difference reveals the health and vitality that has been characteristic of the horror film and our thinking about it for the last thirty years . today gender roles are being tested , challenged , and redefined everywhere , and until such time as difference is no longer dreaded , this crucial aspect of the horror film will remain very important for us .\nthe craziest possession film ever\u2013and potentially the craziest film ever\u2013andrzej zulawski ' s relationship drama charts the disintegration of a marriage between a spy ( sam neill ) and his wife ( isabelle adjani ) , who ' s soon sleeping with a tentacled monster . in the signature scene , adjani writhes around a subway station floor while miscarrying . as i ' ve said before , it has to be seen to be believed .\nyou can ' t have a\nmovie convention\nwithout them , can you ? absolutely not ! and we plan on showing plenty of films on both 16mm film and video at cinema wasteland - many of which may be hosted by the stars and directors appearing as guests at the show . our evening film show is free to all attendees and hotel guests .\nthroughout the film , jerry has been making a birdhouse \u2013 a miniature version of his idea of the perfect home . susan and stephanie help jerry erect it mid - way through the film , and we are given a distorted shot from the top of the birdhouse , looking down , emphasizing how high and unreachable jerry\u2019s idea of family really is . in the closing scene of the film , stephanie cuts the birdhouse down . we see it lying in the foreground while stephanie and her mother walk arm - in - arm , happy and complete , back into their home . they do not relocate as many families in horror films do after tragedy because of the symbolic significance of reclaiming their house , their structure . the film shows us that these two women are a complete family . they do not need a patriarch , and they do not need the conventional notion of the nuclear family to be happy \u2013 in fact , they are better off without it .\nthe book begins with three landmark accounts of the horror film in the context of gender that have influenced the scope of contemporary critical debate , including much of the subsequent work included in this volume . collected in part one , these three essays , following upon laura mulvey ' s groundbreaking 1975 essay\nvisual pleasure and narrative cinema ,\nshare a concern with the gendered dynamics of looking in the horror film . linda williams ' s\nwhen the woman looks\nexamines mulvey ' s notion of narrative film as articulating a controlling male gaze in the context of the horror film specifically . her suggestion that there is a sympathetic alignment between the monster ' s gaze and that of the female spectator is echoed by barbara creed , who employs julia kristeva ' s notion of abjection as it relates to the horror film , especially in terms of monstrous images of the maternal . carol clover reexamines those assumptions concerning the supposed masculine essence of horror in the context of the slasher subgenre . her emphasis on the fluidity of point of view and spectator identification is informed by more recent theory that has moved beyond the binary gender determinism of mulvey ' s model and argues that these movies , which previously had been understood as particularly misogynist , might indeed hold some value for feminism ."]}

year - old tommy on whom he dotes , they appear to be in seclusion , hunkered down in a house outside town . when charlie\u2019s wife angela arrives she seems , at first glance , to be appalled to find them together . it will be a little time before we understand just why . by staggering his revelations , currie makes this a challenging film to describe , but the strategy is a most effective one . he keeps us utterly intent on unpacking the unstable family dynamics we witness . are we maybe even in\nat d23 expo last year we saw this beautiful concept art ! and did you watch fashion stars heidi klum , kendall jenner , and more honor the incomparable edna e . mode ? the fashion icon will be returning in the sequel , directed by brad bird , who also voices edna . we already know this movie is going to be incredible . we also know that in it , a new villain will be hatching a brilliant and dangerous plot , and the incredibles family will need to team up with frozone to deal with it . check out the latest trailer here .\ni\u2019m fascinated by good people doing bad things . at the start of the film we meet this playful , loving couple \u2014 and yet as the story unfolds they do something most parents would find unthinkable .\nafter seeing a clip of the \u201ccircle of life\u201d scene at d23 expo last year , we could not be more excited to see this film . it is directed by jon favreau , and features an amazing cast including donald glover , james earl jones , beyonc\u00e9 , and more . we are all in for an epic experience when this reimagining of the lion king comes to theaters . see the full cast list here .\nthe year ' s biggest local box office hit . the taika waititi - jemaine clement horror - comedy what we do in the shadows won the best self - funded movie category having missed out on best film consideration .\ndirector max currie himself must be lauded for doing a great job at bringing everything together . for a film made with limited resources , some crisp cinematography , a poignant musical score alongside a smooth flowing story prevailed . assisted by the brilliant producers tom hern ( the dark horse ) and luke robinson ( evil dead ) the craft of making it the classic new zealand film it is a lot easier .\nwhat we did in the shadows took away the production design and sound prizes , and jackie beek won the supporting actress prize of her performance in the film who thanked co - directors waitit and clement\nwho never let me read a script and gave me contradictory directions\n.\nwhat makes the film brilliant is that it never gets too complicated . it sticks to what works and does a great job with it . one element which i really enjoyed was exploring the mood of \u201cmommy and daddy . \u201d even though a young \u201cson\u201d is present in their lives again , they are never completely happy ; consequently they are never really sad either . for most of the film their moods are neutral . for those who have yet to see it , just watch very carefully and try count the number of times charlie speaks in a genuinely positive tone or angela smiles sincerely ; there are plenty of attempted efforts to do so but it very rarely succeeds . also , we know both adults do not mean bad . they are benevolent people who are prepared to sacrifice everything - even at the risk of going to prison - to be reunited as a family .\nat last year\u2019s d23 expo walt disney studios live - action presentation , we saw many of the actors who bring our favorite characters to life . you guys \u2026 this movie is going to be amazing , and now it is opening sooner so that fans around the world can enjoy it at the same time ! check out the intense trailer here .\nwe literally got goosebumps watching the teaser trailer of a wrinkle in time . based on the book by madeleine l\u2019engle , the film is directed by ava duvernay and stars a phenomenal cast including oprah winfrey ( who was honored as a disney legend last year ) , chris pine , reese witherspoon , mindy kaling , and storm reid ! take a look at these images from the film , if you haven\u2019t already !\nwe meet charlie ( brett stewart ) , a reserved man who is desperate to reunite his family . once a travelling magician with his wife angela ( sia trokenheim - cettina ) , he now lives in a rundown lifestyle block . living with him is a young boy . for a brief moment we are made to believe it is his son hugo . however a quick sequence of events establishes that hugo is dead . the boy who is there is none other than tommy ( ben clarkson ) , a five year old whose face is all over the news ; he was kidnapped . things get heated when his wife angela returns to see tommy . she wants to call the police but charlie persuades her that he can make them a family again . so begins a rather lukewarm illusion , one which could continue if all three of them move overseas .\ngradually , it builds a sense of unease as the plainly loving charlie is confronted with questions such as such as\nare you my real daddy ?\nand\nwhere is mummy ?\n. a television report about a missing child ( the newsreader is suzy clarkson , the child actor ' s real mother ) is our first clue as to what happened and when stewart ' s wife angela ( trokenheim ) joins them , we join the dots .\nproduction began last year on this film , starring paul rudd and evangeline lilly , and it\u2019s sure to be epic ! what we know so far : the film will take place in the aftermath of captain america : civil war as scott lang aka ant -

end drama convinces on an emotional level even if , visually , the film is rather traditionally put together .\ncharlie ( stewart ) and angela ( trokenheim ) used to tour the country as a magician and his sexy assistant , though the curtain unexpectedly came down both professionally and privately when their young child , hugo , suddenly died . when the film opens , charlie is at home but angela\u2019s gone , though the mourning father is not alone , as he\u2019s looking after and playing with a five - year - old boy , tommy ( ben clarkson ) . currie\u2019s screenplay initially leaves the relationships between the characters unclear and has the little boy ask rather odd questions , such as\nare you my real daddy ?\nand\nwhere is momma ?\na tv report about a missing boy provides the missing puzzle piece and when angela finally returns to the couple\u2019s home , the extent to which charlie has strayed becomes clear as it\u2019s obvious their own son died and tommy\u2019s real parents are elsewhere - - they may be negligent caregivers , as charlie keeps insisting , but they are alive and have been robbed of their offspring . the first reaction of angela , who clearly had to leave the house to go through her own grieving process , is one of disbelief and rejection ; she can\u2019t be part of charlie\u2019s insane replacement plan .\nthe justification for charlie\u2019s actions are of course located in his grief , as his pain has temporarily undermined his capability for sound moral judgment . though the film starts after hugo\u2019s death , the enormity and the power of the parents\u2019 sorrow is made abundantly clear by their decisions and actions , with angela , perhaps even to her surprise , gradually finding relief in the idea of having a \u201cnew hugo\u201d and the associated sense of comfort and even a glimpse of the good old times increasingly outweighing her objections .\ncurrie thankfully doesn ' t overdo the magic metaphors and has believably charted the emotional arcs of his adult leads . once they\u2019ve both accepted their new reality , and the soothing sensation it affords them , their need to protect their newfound family and calm makes their life increasingly complicated and , paradoxically , agitated , since they can\u2019t be seen in public with a kidnapped child that\u2019s all over the news . to complicate matters even further , they\u2019ve not been able to pay the rent for months and their landlord wants them out within a week .\nnew zealand actor stewart ( he died with a felafel in his hand ) and swedish - born trokenheim ( kiwi tv series step dave ) form a believable couple , unable to face the death of their child alone but probably more dangerous when facing it together . entirely in step with currie\u2019s direction , they ensure the story\u2019s grounded in a recognizable emotional reality rather than any kind of tabloid hysteria or sensationalism . clarkson , whose mother suzy clarkson , has a cameo as a news reporter , is a natural child actor who makes tommy\u2019s initial confusion , his natural curiosity and desire for stability and love at any cost all come alive .\ncinematographer dave garbett ( spartacus : blood and sand ) and editor dan kircher use a clever variation on a match cut early on and the film\u2019s color palate becomes bleaker as the family\u2019s situation grows increasingly dire . but otherwise it is the actors that do almost all of the heavy lifting here , conjuring up a world of pain that allows them to do things no sane person would ever think of doing .\nit ' s difficult to provide a complete assessment of this striking kiwi feature without engaging in what might seem like - but is not really ; the plot point occurs less than 20 minutes in - a major spoiler .\nso if you want to see it - and see it you should - completely cold , let your eye skip the next three paragraphs right now . ( start at\nthe newest fruit . . .\n)\nfor me , the major improbability that dogs an otherwise assured piece of work is the idea that a mother - any mother , anywhere , ever - would accept as her own someone else ' s son when ( here ' s the important bit ) she knew that the boy concerned had been abducted and that his real mother was inhabiting a panic - stricken hell .\ndirector and writer currie seeks to deal with this credibility challenge by having a character tell us that the boy ' s real mum and dad are not fit parents and , to be sure , the world his two main characters come to create is one fraught with a perfectly plausible insanity occasioned by their own bereavement . but when the film ' s mother first discovers what happens , her response is one of horror : the process by which she becomes part of the plot ' s conspiracy is far from convincing and , for me , it remained a fatal flaw .\ncurrie deftly constructs the couple ' s backstory : their past as performing magicians provides plenty of scope for faintly fellini - esque sequences . it ups the ante further when , behind with the rent , the trio have to go out in public to perform and the film exploits , without ever overdoing it , the fact that they make their living by deceiving people . yet it ' s hard not to feel that the film paints itself into something of a narrative corner . there is not enough dramatic or emotional development to set it apart from the routine , and the inevitability of the ending becomes something of a let - down .\nall that said , it is an extraordinarily impressive technical achievement that quite belies its chump - change budget . cinematographer dave garbett creates a colour palette that reflects the couple ' s progressively shrinking world - the cinema seems to become colder with each passing minute . and stewart and trokenheim are excellent as a couple sinking deeper into darkness .\nthe film , which premiered at the film festival on monday evening , went live on a video - on - demand platform at the same time . that innovative release strategy should assure it the audience it deserves .\nsia trokenheim plays julie hansen . desperate to find her daughter eva , julie travels to the indian himalayas in search for her .\nthis saturday at 8 . 30pm . tag a friend who you think should see it and make sure you tune in yourself ! kia ora maori tv .\nbrowse television , film , short film , music video , web series , documentary , drama and more categories .\nbiographies , screentalk interviews and details of cast and crew from the nz screen industry .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\nmovies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide -

( the school song was a common feature of both girls ' schools and girls ' school stories , and was intended to stir the\nschool spirit\n) . at the end of the film , the words are reproduced for the audience to sing along with in the manner of a pantomime , with a ball marking each word as it is sung . the song shows that the girls will stop at nothing to get their own way , continuing to reflect cultural fears about the implications of girls and women ' s independence .\ndorian gray stars ben barnes , who will soon be seen as prince caspian in the new narnia film .\nof the franchise , rather than a direct sequel , with certain plot elements borrowed from the first film .\nlike the happiest days of your life , the belles of st trinian ' s included among its stars alastair sim , who played both the st trinian ' s headmistress millicent fritton and her bookmaker brother clarence ( sim having played the headmaster of nutbourne college in the previous film ) and joyce grenfell as policewoman sergeant ruby gates ( grenfell having previously played a st swithun ' s teacher ) . grenfell , whose character is that of the overgrown schoolgirl who never grows up , was also to star in the following two films , as was george cole as flash harry , the grown - up boot - boy engaged before the war who remained with the school as its only ( avowedly ) male character . the film ' s opening and closing music was composed by matthew arnold and directed by muir mathieson , and as with the the happiest days of your life and the rest of the st trinian ' s films , background and title graphics were provided by searle . stt2\nthe pure hell of st . trinian ' s ( 1960 ) : the girls are kidnapped and forced to defend themselves against the sons of an arabian emir , who want them as their wives .\nprior to st trinian ' s , karan appeared in the darjeeling limited . since then , she has had roles in both the merchant of venice and the taming of the shrew at the rsc .\n, with the st . trinian\u2019s team filming on location during opening hours . from the tube station , annabelle leads the way to the buried treasure at a london landmark just south of the river .\nthe following scene resembles searle ' s cartoons and the genre more closely , since it shows the mayhem caused by the st trinian ' s school train journey . searle produced a number of cartoons which show the girls travelling to school , arriving and unpacking ; the journey to school is also commonly depicted at the beginning of girls ' school stories . as the st trinian ' s train arrives , station personel run away , shops and banks are locked up , and the police are frightened and take refuge in drinking alcohol . as with the cartoons , the st trinian ' s girls ' activities are well - known throughout the community . stt5\nthe film ' s score was composed by charlie mole . the soundtrack also contains\ntheme to st . trinian ' s\nperformed by girls aloud ,\ntrouble\nperformed by cast of st trinian ' s ,\noh my god\nperformed by mark ronson featuring lily allen ,\nlove is in the air\nperformed by rupert everett and colin firth ,\ndon ' t give up\nperformed by noisettes ,\nnine2five\nperformed by the ordinary boys vs . lady sovereign ,\nif i can ' t dance\nperformed by sophie ellis - bextor ,\nteenage kicks\nperformed by remi nicole ,\nsanctuary\nperformed by gabriella cilmi ,\nlove is a many - splendored thing\nperformed by the four aces ,\n3 spoons of suga\nperformed by sugababes ,\non my way to satisfaction\nperformed by girls aloud and\nthe st trinian ' s school song\nperformed by cast of st trinian ' s .\ntracklistings come from musicbrainz . you can add or edit information about st trinian ' s : the soundtrack at urltoken . find out more about our use of this data , and also our policy on profanity\ncut to the real dame maude at the ministry of education tendering her resignation to culpepper - brown . prestwick immediately sends the appalled bassett to rome to bring home the st . trinian ' s tour .\nin december 2009 , it was announced that there will be a st trinian ' s 3 . however , as of july 2016 , no cast or release date has been confirmed for the third instalment .\nthank you i watch it all ready and fun film and was no problem with it very satisfied . . .\nthe 2007 release , coming 27 years after the last entry and 53 years after the first film , is a rebooting of the franchise , rather than a direct sequel , with certain plot elements borrowed from the first film .\nlower class lout : the chav clique from the previous film are featured again , this time as rude girls .\nhowever , by the 1950s and 1960s , when the film comedies were made , st trinian ' s was used to mock post - war institutions such as the civil service , the police and the army alongside girls ' schools and school stories . rather than being the main focus of the satire , the female characters and their school were increasingly marginalised in favour of male characters , becoming ever more sexualised and passive in the process . the intended audience for the humour was both adult and male . perhaps unsurprisingly , the humour was also reactionary in its political perspective . the films reworked the st trinian ' s myth and thus its place in popular culture , and it is this reworked image which persists as the image of st trinian ' s today . when st trinian ' s went on the films - as so many schoolgirls of the day desired to do - the joke was as much on searle as it was on them . stt34\nmeantime , we cut to a brief glimpse of alastair sim , again in drag , this time as miss amelia fritton , former headmistress of st . trinian ' s , now behind bars for crimes unknown .\na rather daft film , but the music ' s good for light background listening ditto with the videos . a bit of fun to liven up a dull afternoon\nmiss dickinson is the new english teacher and she ' s completely overwhelmed on her first day . she appears to have gotten a decent grasp of what ' s going on by the time the film ends .\nbarnaby thompson , head of ealing studios , who produced and co - directed st trinian ' s alongside oliver parker , suggests success is largely down to the support and guaranteed distribution deal with entertainment film distributors .

the real people to the world . in many cases , those who thought they\u2019d found love online have been left heartbroken . others have been bullied online by these fake profiles .\nanne winters and

purchasing a fake mail - order bride .\nbride he bought online is a new lifetime movie that is set to make its debut tonight . lifetime movie lovers have become accustomed to being entertained every weekend by lifetime\u2019s original movies . tonight\u2019s thriller the bride he bought online takes a shocking turn after some teens decide to play a joke on a lonely computer programmer . starring anne winters , travis hammer , and annalisa cochrane , according to the internet movie database ( imdb ) .\na lonely , socially inept computer programmer named john seeks revenge when he learns he ' s been duped unleashes a wrath that no one would have expected : by three teen girls who created a fictitious mail - order bride that he bought .\nshe said she originally wrote the bride he bought online as an indie horror movie that would be her directorial debut and she was ready to start up a crowdfunding campaign . but , there was no need , because executive producer pierre david was into the idea \u2014 but as a thriller .\nso much of our every day communication happens through the faceless internet \u2014 e - mails , tweets , instagram photos , gchat , online dating sites , and so

will truly show audiences that the new love you found over the internet could be a mere prank by some teenagers . we hear of the idea of catfishing pretty often , so it ' s fair to wonder : is the bride he bought online based on a true story ?\noh , lifetime . always so good at reminding us that teenagers are the worst . also at giving characters [ adopts liam neeson voice ] a very particular set of skills that are selectively convenient to the plot . take , for example , last night ' s movie the bride he bought online , in which a computer programmer only realizes he ' s been catfished after he loses hundreds of dollars and has his heart broken . thank goodness he has all that computer knowledge to get revenge .\nafter finding a mail order bride website , three teen girls become fascinated with the dynamics behind \u201closer\u201d guys who buy brides online . in the sneak peek teaser , we see the girls making plans to dupe a lonely man who seeks a bride online . once he shows up at the designated location , the girls watch as the disheveled computer programmer holds up a sign with his bride\u2019s name on it . it becomes apparent to at least one of the teen girls that what they are doing is downright wrong . one thing is for sure , these girls have messed with the wrong man and have no idea what\u2019s in store for them after following through on this cruel joke .\nso , while the movie isn ' t based on one specific case , conradt says she was inspired to write the film by various cases of cyberbullying and juvenile crime . conradt has a masters degree in criminal justice from boston university and her studies focused on cyber crime and juvenile delinquency . the bride he bought online certainly deals with those topics . it ' s a story about three teenage girls who run a prank blog and decide their latest target will be the man who falls for a fake profile they posted on a mail - order bride website . unfortunately for them , the pranked man becomes becomes hellbent on revenge against the girls , but will he take it too far ?\na lonely and unstable man seeks revenge against three teens who created a fake mail - order bride blog .\npart of the fun of the bride he bought online is how everything keeps escalating . there isn\u2019t one kidnapping , there are three . the girls prank against john escalates to filming and getting him to spend hundreds of dollars . john turns from an awkward guy who is improving for a woman he loves into an embittered men\u2019s rights activist ranting about how american women treat men horribly . even his plan for the girls jumps the rails when it turns out the shady guys he met in the darknet are untrustworthy ! who knew ? ! what pranksters , those sex slavers ! the constant amount of plot twists is entertaining , and while the film was never in danger of slowing down , it does keep dodging your expectations . or pranking your expectations !\neven though mandy screams every five seconds that he ' s going to kill them , john says he has other plans for them . plans like selling them into prostitution . that seems like an appropriate punishment for three stupid teenage girls who played an online prank , don ' t you think ? unfortunately he only manages to sell kaley ( so convenient that it was the ringleader ) before the sex traffickers bail on him without paying . well , shit . now what is he supposed to do with these other two girls he kidnapped ?\nryan discovers his friend brent is the father of one of his girlfriends twins babies and that he date raped her at a party over the summer . with college around the corner he will stop at nothing to clear his name .\nnow that john has all three girls tied up in his warehouse , he ' s able to lecture them about hurting people and being a pariah and how american women aren ' t grateful like foreign women are , and blah blah blah . i thought he was trying to talk them to death . my favorite part is when he says his father used to tell him he has to walk in another person ' s shoes to understand them , and he used to think he meant he had to put their shoes on , \u201cbut now i realize he meant it in a figurative way .

, social network , online dating , human trafficking , prostitution , and murder , even . while it shows a great deal of ambition , it also makes it comparatively difficult for a television movie like this to be able to live up to this kind of ambition . therefore , the consequence is that we get to see a little bit of everything , but we never get a chance to be truly involved in any of it .\nwhen viewing the mail order bride website it can be seen that they are on a youtube video . however this\nvideo\nacts as a real website .\nmore dire a fate than she deserves . i was amused to read the posts about this film on the urltoken message boards , and in particular how many people were bothered by the fact that conradt created both john and kaley as multi - dimensional characters , neither all good nor all bad , and wanted this film to have more clearly defined heroes and villains than the anti - hero and anti - villain conradt gave them . i was also amused that at least two of the message board contributors wondered if conradt was setting up a sequel \u2014 which in this case might not be a bad idea : a the bride he bought online , part 2 : kaley\u2019s revenge\njohn tries to chase after them for a while , but eventually he gives up and just collapses on the ground staring at a picture of his fake girlfriend on his phone . then he has some sort of vision / memory /

themes , the predictability of the storyline and the flat characters not only stop the movie from reaching the threshold of a good drama , but also make it nearly impossible for the audience to relate to the movie .\nshe also doesn ' t seem to know that you probably shouldn ' t try to fool an admitted computer programmer with a fake profile on a site for mail order brides . luckily for kaley , john ( travis hammer ) turns off the computer genius part of his brain when he sees pictures of diwata , the fake filipino woman kaley is pretending to be . they end up talking , and he even sends her a video of himself playing the guitar . it ' s all very pathetic , right down to the part where diwata doesn ' t show up to the airport on the flight he bought her a ticket for .\nwhen viewing the mail order bride website it can be seen that they are on a youtube video . however this\nvideo\nacts as a real website . see more \u00bb\nupon returning home , kaley turns on the tv , but john uses his computer hacking skills to scare her by turning off the security system in kaley ' s home . having succeeded in panicking her , he then enters the house and kidnaps kaley at gunpoint , taking her to the warehouse where he is holding mandy hostage . the next day , avery is being interviewed by an agent , as the parents of kaley and mandy are looking for their daughters . avery tells the agent about nick , and the cops mark him as a suspect . nick spoke to the cop , straightened everything out and told him about john and he was unaware what he was doing .\nin 2006 , a russian mail order bride named nina reiser entered into an online relationship with \u2014 and later married \u2014 computer programmer hans reiser . reiser ended up killing nina reiser after they began having problems . she was missing for a time , but hans reiser eventually led police to her body .\njohn takes mandy and avery back to the warehouse . he has to leave avery in the car while he ties mandy up , and for some reason she doesn ' t use that opportunity to make a run for it . does his car have a child lock or did he do some computer wizardry on it ? at least once they ' re all in the warehouse , avery takes advantage of the glass bottle just sitting on the ground and slices john ' s arm with it . he ' s very offended , and he runs home to bandage it . that ' s when his neighbor from across the street , a prostitute ( kesia elwin ) who ' s always showing him her bra through the window , shows up and notices his wound .\nbut , does this mean you should distrust the entire internet ? not quite .\ni think what ' s interesting is that when people go online the balance of trusting is thrown off , because either they just completely trust without being given a reason to trust that person , or they completely distrust ,\nconradt tells bustle .\na lot of our meaningful interactions with people have been replaced with what we believe are meaningful interactions online . people now believe you could get to know someone so well online and fall in love with them .\nbeyond the plot twists , the bride he bought online works because of the amazing actresses and their command performances . annalisa cochrane is awesome chewing the scenery when kaley goes full mean spoiled brat , and mandy and kaley feuding over a young man hired by john to get friended on their social media accounts is great catfighting and passive aggressiveness . anne winters plays avery so over everything and crushing on a boy instead , but is still forced to with her friends causing issues because of her sense of loyalty . lauren gaw\u2019s mandy torn between being popular and standing up for herself and remaining friends with avery , knowing in her heart that kaley will be left behind when they go off to college , but not able to push far enough away fast enough to do what is right .\nlater that day , avery is also kidnapped by john , and having now captured all three girls , he takes them to sell to a man he found online . the man are going to sell the girls for human trafficking . however , john gets scammed by the men , who only take kaley with them . afterwards , john takes mandy and avery back to the warehouse , where avery slashes him with a piece of glass and tries to escape , but is unsuccessful . upon returning home , john ' s hooker neighbor offers to find him someone else to sell the girls to , and the pair return to the warehouse . however , instead of aiding john in his trafficking attempt , the neighbor shoots him in the arm , allowing mandy and avery to escape . john then retaliates by shooting his neighbor in the chest while the girls hide in the warehouse , armed with the neighbor ' s gun and a cell phone . they call the police and are saved , though john commits suicide before he can be arrested .\njohn wants revenge , so he hires a male prostitute named nick ( randy blekitas ) to flirt with the girls and get their phone numbers . then the prank ee becomes the prank ster . ( unfortunately that wasn ' t a line in the movie . ) john starts texting kaley as nick , and you might think he plans to make her fall in love with him before standing her up , just to make things even . but this is a lifetime movie , so of course he has much more sinister things in mind .\nin the season premiere , after a nuclear incident , the secret of the asteroid becomes public , setting . . .\nwhen becoming members of the site , you could use the full range of functions and enjoy the most exciting films .\njohn was legit in love , but his heart is destroyed . after a bit of investigating , he finds out diwata\u2019s photos are of a dead model , and quickly traces where the photos are hosted , right in kaley\u2019s webspace complete with her name . some social media stalking soon strikes gold , john remembering her and the other girls from the airport as he overheard kaley and avery arguing . he even finds their pranking site along with the video of him at the airport . anger turns to revenge , and john prepares to do some pranking of his own . turns out kidnapping three teenage girls is also a prank ! but the pranking has just begun , and the girls must avoid the ultimate prank !\nwhat starts out as a harmless prank blog takes a dark turn for 17 - year - old avery when her friends , mandy and kaley , create a fake profile for an international dating site and begin to communicate with a lonely , socially inept computer programmer named john . having lived a life of isolation and bullying , the humiliation he feels when he realizes he ' s been duped unleashes a wrath that no one would have expected .\njohn lures kaley and mandy to the skate park after dark , making them think they ' re meeting nick there . when the two girls split up , he kidnaps mandy and takes her to a generic tv movie warehouse , complete with graffiti and random pieces of trash here and there that will prove useful to the plot . once mandy ' s tied up and wastes no time placing the blame on kaley , john heads to her house , where he turns off her security system and all the lights using a few keys on his computer . this is just a reminder that john has the technological talent to do all this , but he didn ' t think to do a reverse image search until he ' d already paid for his fake girlfriend ' s plane ticket .\ncheck out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy , the predator , zoe , and the king of thieves .\nbe the first to contribute ! for guidance , please visit the awards submission guide .\nwhat starts out as a harmless prank blog takes a dark turn for 17 - year - old avery when her friends , mandy and kaley , create a fake profile for an international dating site and begin to communicate with a lonely , socially inept computer programmer named john . having lived a life of isolation and bullying , the humiliation he feels when he realizes he ' s been duped unleashes a wrath that no one would have expected . written by reel one entertainment\nof corridors so that , even if they free themselves from the straps he\u2019s tied them up with , they\u2019ll have no idea how to get out ) and terrorize them with what sort of fate he has in mind for them . eventually it develops that his revenge for the girls having tormented him and put him in so much emotional pain will be to sell them to human traffickers , and he actually turns kaley over to a tall , intimidating - looking guy \u2014 only the guy reneges on paying john , so he takes the other two girls back to his hideout . the one true good guy in all this is the detective the police put in charge of finding the kidnapped girls , kathy schumaker ( a marvelously hard - edged performance by alexandra paul ) , who is able to trace nick and get him to rat out john . though nick has no idea where john is holding the girls , avery manages to make a call on a cell phone she concealed on her person and the police are able to use that signal to trace where they are and rescue them \u2014 though not before john becomes a true figure of pathos as he makes a speech about how sorry he is that his desire for love and companionship led to all this , and then shoots himself .\nconradt is very passionate about these topics and has studied the motivations behind teen crime ( peer pressure and lack of understanding consequences are among them ) , as well as internet crimes , in which the world wide web gives folks a new way to commit old - fashioned wrongdoing . she published a paper in the international journal of cyber criminology on the adrian ghighina online auction fraud case .\nthe same goes with the characters . throughout the movie , none of them has any sort of growth or development at all . even with all the relatively big changes that happened in their lives , the sad guy remained sad ; the meanest girl remained the meanest , the least determinant girl was still the least determinant one , and the girl who knew a tiny little better than everyone else didn\u2019t learn to know even an inch more .\nit will enhance any encyclopedic page you visit with the magic of the wiki 2 technology .\nreturning show : the final season of the western drama \u201chell on wheels\u201d ( amc at 9 ) begins with cullen bohannon ( anson mount ) joining the rush to finish the first transcontinental railroad .\nwhen a woman and her boyfriend are injured in a car crash , he is left with a leg injury which requires them to hire a nurse , but the woman they select is more trouble than she appears .\nfrom the dramatic music scoring , the impressively contrasty lighting , and the mass use of close - ups on characters\u2019 facial expressions , i am sure the intention was to let audiences take a part in the world it created rather than just be the indifferent spectators . but again , we can\u2019t always get what we want , can we ? that\u2019s the rule of life , and that\u2019s also the rule of filmmaking .\nkaley is prank - obsessed and doesn\u2019t want to live the normal life , using the prank website as a longshot way to escape going to college and getting a job . kaley just wants to be rich and live the easy life . this drives her to search out bigger stunts to pull for more views , likes , and follows , to sell the site or even land a tv gig out of it . she\u2019s the mastermind behind the latest stunt , setting up a fake profile on a meet foreign women / mail order bride site . she\u2019s even already been in contact with her intended target before she reveals it to the other girls , but doesn\u2019t explain how far she is going to go until it\u2019s too late to stop it . he\u2019s going to get so pranked by her !\na police detective follows a trail of evidence that eventually seems to lead to his trusted partner ' s ex - con brother who he helped put in prison years ago .\nwhat starts out as a harmless online prank takes a dark turn for 17 - year - old avery lindstrom ( anne winters ) when her friends , mandy kim ( lauren gaw ) and kaley mack ( annalisa cochrane ) , create a fake profile for an international dating website and begin to communicate with a lonely , socially inept computer programmer named john bennett ( travis hammer ) . having lived a life of isolation and bullying , john becomes consumed by his desire for revenge after learning he was catfished by the girls . doing some digging online , john finds that the photo of his nonexistent\ngirlfriend\nwas actually that of a deceased filipina model , then uncovers the identities of the three girls who played him like a fool on their blog with their cruel prank . while both avery and mandy feel bad for what they did to him and show some remorse , kaley doesn ' t , being the\nmean girl\nof their school .\nso this review has been out for a while but we ' re just seeing it . pretty funny stuff ( be sure to read the captions under the stills ) . props to the writer , and glad she liked the movie .\n: the media never reported how we really met john . they said he found us using social media . the reality is , we found him . we preyed on him . if you poke a lion with a stick , is it his fault for attacking you ? i ' m not saying any of us deserved what he did . nothing gives you the right to hurt someone else even if they bully you . but that goes for kaley , too . she had no right to hurt him either and if she hadn ' t , maybe she ' d still be here .\nthe source code for the wiki 2 extension is being checked by specialists of the mozilla foundation , google , and apple . you could also do it yourself at any point in time .\nthe three girls have defined personalities , all of which carries over after they are abducted . mandy immediately tattles on kaley for planning everything and bickers with her when the two are chained up . kaley continues insulting and even spitting on john , thinking she is still in control and that he is the contemptible weakling she was mocking . avery responds with mature logic , trying to get john to talk , be calm , answer questions , and appear that she\u2019s trying to make a connection with him so he doesn\u2019t go overboard , but kaley\u2019s insults keeps that from happening . things just go so well together .\nthe film first had a limited release in canada on may 24 , 2015 . it was then broadcast on the lifetime network in the united states on july 18 , 2015 .

winning monster movie\nhoping to intervene and catch up with the old man before the local poster children for the nra do , jimmy fuller ( nicholas wright ) makes the decision to call howard ' s estranged , beautiful daughter melanie ( cindy sampson ) . having relocated to the city and cut off all ties with her father after the mysterious death of her mother when she was just a little girl , melanie is hesitant to return to gibbington so instead of owning up to the real reason he is calling , jimmy plays the\nnext of kin\ncard by telling her that her father is close to death .\nwhile on one hand , jimmy\u2019s lie does foreshadow what would happen if the town managed to get hold of the elusive recluse but when melanie surmises the truth , she ' s all set to turn around until she ' s told that he ' s now wanted for brutal murder . although she does not remember jimmy from the youth she ' s tried to block out - - nonetheless the two bond fairly quickly and their rapport is sped up considerably when he introduces her to his mother - - a diner owner who moonlights as a medical healer of sorts , managing to rid melanie of her perpetual headaches that are introduced immediately into the script as a major character trait but are then never referenced again .\nnicely it fills out the 90 minute running time with some excellent character based suspicion and plot twists as predictably we realize that one of the major characters isn ' t perhaps the person we first assumed . in fact the strength of david winning\u2019s work is evidenced whenever it relies on mood , mystery , and evolving character back stories as opposed to when we see the initially\nare in it simply to see that man -

- retaining the same widescreen aspect ratio as it continues , growing in strength audibly as the tension ratchets up in dolby digital surround . thereby , it makes this modern day b movie release much crisper and sharper than the heyday of the b sub -

crab monstrosities that pass for monsters in modern horror movies . and he ' s often around trees , so the underwhelming compositing actually works in the movie ' s favor - he ' s not supposed to be blending into the scenery all that much , so he sticks out but has the same stuff behind him , which keeps it from looking too silly ( relatively speaking i mean ; he ' s still a giant walking tree ) . plus the attacks are cool - impaling with branches and stomping are his mo , and it never got repetitive to me .\nit just goes to show how much the slightest effort in a script can make a difference in the final product . the cast , the budget , the locations . . . all of these things are in line with every other maneater movie , so why does this one work while something like\nis borderline unwatchable ? so many producers or directors are quick to blame the budget for their movie ' s lapses , but i can usually look past budgetary limitations if the script shows some effort . a decent story as the backbone for your bad fx and dull locations can still produce a decent movie ; great fx and a globe -

[ 3 ]\nsimilarly , some folks may see the idea of a soldier without a nation defending a harmless colony as evoking seven samurai ( 1954 ) or the magnificent seven ( 1960 ) , as well .\nall of these merely include references . soldier was actually written with the idea that it was part of the blade runner continuity . total recall , alien , predator , and firefly were not .\nwas directed by paul anderson , who in 1997 gave the world a very effective space - horror film , event horizon . yet soldier feels like a step down from that movie , both in terms of complexity and visualization . there\u2019s a kind of claustrophobia or sound - stage - like feel to soldier\u2019 s exterior scenes , and much footage is recycled ( particularly in a musical montage ) , or slowed down to make it seem more effectively shot\u2026as though not enough good material was captured during production .\nthe power of russell\u2019s strong but vulnerable performance drags soldier over the finish line with a surprising amount of success , but with a little more back -

- sometimes aligned with a hostile military or law enforcement hierarchy - - offers common - sense counsel about his preferred soldier ( john rambo / todd ) , but is routinely ignored . when the military hierarchy , here represented by mekum , fails to defeat that soldier , trautman / church is there to warn that the renegade and \u201creal\u201d soldier has been underestimated , and that his \u201cwar\u201d is righteous .\nas a pastiche of war movies like first blood , soldier resurrects a lot of clich\u00e9s , but for the space age . i noted so above , but the movie has a lot of running from explosions , decoys that fool the bad guys , and other familiar set - pieces . the staging and execution of a lot of the action leaves something to be desired and yet i have returned to watch soldier ( 1998 ) probably three or four times since i saw it in the late 1990s . for all its flaws , the movie does manage to make us care about todd , and mourn the fact that he was taken from his family and made to be a killer .\n) . kyle ' s number well -

bitten reputation , it\u2019s surprising clint eastwood hadn\u2019t got around to directing a world war ii movie before 2006 . but he made up for it with a groundbreaking one - two punch : a pair of films exploring the battle of iwo jima from both the american and japanese perspectives . \u2018flags of our fathers\u2019 was weak , exploring the american culture of war . but \u2018letters from iwo jima\u2019 is stunning , depicting a group of soldiers even more bound by tradition and honour than their american counterparts , trapped in an unwinnable war and dreaming only of home . th\nis a masterpiece . funny to think that american critics looked down their noses at the film at the time of its release . maybe they took offense at the inescapable scent of welles\u2019 passion for rita hayworth , his wife at the time and his ex shortly after production wrapped . he captures her in close -

so director , i don ' t hate his work , but he ' s one of those directors that create popcorn action flicks , and for that , he ' s very capable of doing so , but one thing that his films lack is substance . i don ' t mind his films , and here he makes an entertaining picture with a decent cast of actors . soldier is mindless fun if you ' re in the mood for this sort of film , but it ' s never anything great either . i enjoyed the film , but i also felt it could have been better as well . some ideas here fall flat , and it ' s a shame because the ideas here are quite good , but they never really take off , and in turn the film suffers from being a truly memorable action film . paul w . s anderson is a director that goes for thrills and action and not substance . soldier is fun for what it is , but if you want a bit more , you ' ll sadly be disappointed . soldier could have been a great film , but as it is , it ' s an action film that is mindless popcorn entertainment , and if you enjoy these types of films , you might like this one . however , at the same time , you can only wonder how good the film would have been if the script would have been better thought out .\nthanks for the comment . always love to hear from people that have seen this film . the performance from kurt russell is amazing and the best of his career . those scenes with the settlers are also very good . as i said above , i just really , really wish that these scenes and this performance had been encased in a better film . the film suffered from the wrong director and some bad choices of actors to play off kurt russell . this could have a much better film .\ncarl franklin\u2019s excellent early \u201990s neo -

[ note to readers : i ' m not against pure cinema ; i just generally can ' t handle it for more than thirty minutes and i find it difficult to write about . ] the plot may be minimal and the film may primarily define itself visually but those two factors intersect to provide the film with a multi - layered subtext . first , as roger ebert has noted in his great movies essay , the film is about the difficulty of communication between two separate cultures . secondly , you can read the film and its devastating conclusion as a tale about modernization ' s effects on native culture . what types of struggles must an immigrant / colonized subject face when they are integrated into an industrialized society ? third , you can read the film as a love story between the young aborigine boy on his walkabout ( a coming of age ritual in which a boy fends for himself and , if he returns , is declared a man ) and a white woman who is attracted to him , but unable to relate to him .\nlike many of the best comedies and tragedies , this weimar - era silent film understands how each mode is often a hair ' s breadth from the other .\nwalkabout suggests that living off a harsh , natural land is tough work . you have scorpions , ants , dehydration and other challenges to overcome . you have to find water and hunt for your supper . but i believe the film ' s ultimate point is that there is nothing harsher and more difficult than living a life that goes against your very nature .\nthe film is interspersed with numerous images of australian plant and animal life , along with its varied landscapes . the director often uses those images to emphasize events in the plot and set the emotional tone , most notably during the violent scene involving the rifle hunters . though many of the events are impossible in a natural setting\u2014in one scene a wombatwanders past the sleeping children in the middle of a desert\u2014they create a backdrop of a populous , varied environment . in walkabout , an analysis of the film , author louis nowra wrote :\nthis critique of civilization recurs throughout the film . for instance , as mentioned above , the boy and the girl find an oasis of life in the desert - -\nelectronic dance only appears in small bits in the film , not as a whole track and is near the end when the children find the abandoned ' village ' .\nno not really . i used to we used to make model aeroplanes out of balsa wood but move that over . we ' re not on film are we ?\nthe best film to partner with the film is perhaps the aforementioned wake in fright . the films share a release date and setting , while offering similarly robust perspectives on the outback . while wake in fright eschews the indigenous perspective to consider the white man\u2019s corruption in the australian wilderness \u2013 kangaroo hunting and gambling and brawling and far , far too many beers . taken in concert with walkabout , the two films offer a complex and complete \u2013 if not entirely complimentary \u2013 portrait of australia\u2019s outskirts as it was perceived some 45 years ago .\nthe film\u2019s regular use of montage and intercutting emphasises roeg\u2019s trademark \u201crather bizarre attitudes towards time\u201d ( his own words ) . as in his follow - up , don\u2019t look now , walkabout eschews the linear conventions of commercial cinema for something ambiguous and amorphous . there\u2019s the suggestion that roeg\u2019s curious atemporality is inspired by aboriginal culture , unbound by the rigidity of clocks and schedules .\nwe revisit nicolas roeg ' s 1971 coming - of - age classic , ' walkabout ' ( now available at sbs on demand ) , and the questions it raised about race , civilisation and sexuality .\nsoon , the girl and boy encounter an aborigine teenager ( david gulpilil ) on a\nwalkabout ,\na rite of passage in which young men trace the heritage of their ancestors on the land .\nothers who saw it on its initial release will share those memories , but at the same time , some have raised questions about nowra ' s views on the film .\ngulpilil , born in 1953 , had appeared in aboriginal dance troupes , and went on to a long career in australian film and television roles . he is credited as gumpilil .\nwalkabout ' s obvious concern is the relationship between two parties , separated by centuries of diverting societal behaviors , and thus , differentiated perceptions of sexual roles and etiquette . but what ensues is more ambiguous and interpretative .\nthe pessimism of the conclusion may be inappropriate to australia , and particularly to aboriginal life today , but perhaps we can see walkabout as a memorial representation of all those indigenous peoples who have died in the colonising process .\nafter the initial mixed and muddled box office reception , the film has gone on to attract all kinds of critical attention , and been accepted into the canon of australian - manufactured films .\nspeaking from london , the 70 - year - old film - maker is unsurprised that the film has aged so well , citing the essential timelessness of the story :\nwhat interests me is always the same thing : a simple story about life and being alive , not covered with sophistry , but addressing the most basic human themes : birth , death , mutability .\nare these two films just exercises in melancholy voyeurism ? apparently so , unless one is to take roeg\u2019s clodhopper homilies seriously such as the quote from a . e . housman near the end of walkabout , which transforms the victorian\u2019s genteel stoicism into an edgar guest platitude . apparently so , unless one is to find the references to borges in performance carrying the film to a more philosophical level than business equals crime .\na young sister and brother are abandoned in the harsh australian outback and must learn to cope in the natural world , without their usual comforts , in this hypnotic masterpiece from nicolas roeg . along the way , they meet a young aborigine on his \u201cwalkabout , \u201d a rite of passage in which adolescent boys are initiated into manhood by journeying into the wilderness alone . walkabout is a thrilling adventure as well as a provocative rumination on time and civilization .\nin his commentary roeg disclaims putting up the opening title explaining the ' walkabout ' , suggesting either twentieth century fox did it , or someone else did it on their behalf . he says he dislikes that kind of explanatory device .\nthe roger ebert essay that accompanied the dvd release is available on the criterion website ( at time of writing ) here , while paul ryan takes a lengthier look on the same website under the header walkabout : landscapes of memory .\nthe film\u2019s most surreal , and strangely wonderful sequence occurs when the aborigine , misconstruing the girl\u2019s gratitude for love , performs a ritualistic courting dance for her . it is a scene that ends almost as quickly \u2014 and silently \u2014 as it begins , but the subsequent events will forever change both people\u2019s lives . as the film concludes , everything is brought full circle , with a twist .\nwith the outback serving as both a backdrop and character in the film ' s narrative , and by marshaling a voice - over poem at just the right moment ( from alfred edward housman ' s 1896 work\na shropshire lad ,\n) roeg crafts an immensely emotional film ; one that will deeply affect you for days after a screening . this is even more the case now , since roeg ' s director ' s cut is featured on the blu ray edition rather than the original theatrical release ( which trimmed much of the film ' s full frontal nudity ) .\nonly in the film ' s last scene , do we see an older , reflective woman consider the aborigine boy ; and what he meant in her life ; and what he gave to her . she imagines a scene right out of paradise : the three wanderers in the desert frolicking in the water ; on a rock . it is an image of lost innocence , and it is the image we leave on in walkabout .\nearly in the film , for example , we see agutter ' s character setting - up a blanket and picnic lunch out in harsh desert ; clearly a misguided attempt to tame the unspoiled earth . while she imposes mankind ' s sense of order on the desert , the film cross - cuts to views of lizards and other inhabitants , going about their business , oblivious to her attempts .\nhickling - hudson , a . ,\nwhite construction of black identity in australian films about aborigines ,\nin literature / film quarterly ( salisbury , maryland ) , no . 4 , 1990 .\nroeg and agutter were in separate locations when their contribution to the commentary was recorded , but each offer insights into the film and the making of it , and their thoughts chime together reasonably well .\n\u201csee the difference between artificiality and naturalness . you and i can see it in this image or set of images , but the characters in the film cannot , and this is our superiority . \u201d\nwalkabout ' s ending diagrams the death of innocence . gulpilil ' s character has learned that he cannot adapt to the strange rules of modern\ncivilization .\nand in that coda - - set years after his demise - agutter ' s sense of hoplessness is tangible . it reflects , purposefully , the little boy ' s sense of defeat early in the film , upon reckoning with the unending desert , one stretching to unknown horizons .\ni think the film is neutral about such goals . like its lizards that sit unblinking in the sun , it has no agenda for them . it sees the life of civilization as arid and unrewarding , but only easy idealism allows us to believe that the aborigine is any happier , or his life more rewarding ( the film makes a rather unpleasant point of the flies constantly buzzing around him ) .\nbut returned to modern civilization ( and bred to that civilization ) , agutter ' s character cannot make the same leap . instead , she denies any feeling she might have for the aborigine boy and falls back on the\netiquette\nof her culture . early in walkabout we see her practicing etiquette lessons while listening to a program on the radio ; and that ' s the very world the english girl retreats to at film ' s end .\nthe appeal of roeg\u2019s films to date rests on different qualities for different audiences . for the user of mild psychedelic drugs , performance , and to a lesser extent the other two films , provides a great multiplicity of visual and aural inputs . however the users often confuse the undeniable plethora of impressions , and its pleasantness , with indicating a meaningfulness and aesthetic complexity which is not there on sober examination . somewhat overlapping this audience is the appeal of the first two films to late adolescents , who seek in film art an experience , a knowledge , a statement in a somewhat different form . this too , roeg certainly provides , but exploring \u201cidentity\u201d rather than \u201cbeing\u201d has its limits for viewers who have moved on from the former to the latter in their own experience . for people especially interested in film as an art , roeg is very interesting in his willingness to exploit film as film and for his ability to work in the commercial feature system successfully while pushing the uniquely filmic over standard melodramatic film narrative . with don ' t look now roeg demonstrated his appeal for film goers who prefer classy entertainment , though he did so by focusing on characters and a life style that seems right out of the ad pages of the new yorker .\ni ' m getting in a walkabout mood in anticipation of the march 5th screening at the nft ( with jenny agutter and luc roeg attending ) and i was wondering about an aspect of the film which i haven ' t seen analysed . at the beginning a voice says\nfaites vos jeux , monsieurs , dames s ' il vous plait\n, and at the end a title comes up which reads\nrien ne va plus\n. i must admit it took several viewings of the film before i even noticed these , probably because the volume of the voiceover is quite low and the closing title is probably chopped off from many tv ( and even cinema ) prints .\nperhaps more plainly , the destruction of the desert oasis and its resources is referenced late in the film when the boy and the girl come across a similar setting , writ large : a virtually abandoned mining town .\nfor a film made in australia at the time , the soundtrack is relatively advanced , with the sound effects , and the effects - laden music , and the radio , contributing to the sense of a tone poem .\nis\nwalkabout\nonly about what it seems to be about ? is it a parable about noble savages and the crushed spirits of city dwellers ? that ' s what the film ' s surface seems to suggest , but i think it ' s also about something deeper and more elusive : the mystery of communication . it ends with lives that are destroyed , in one way or another , because two people could not invent a way to make their needs and dreams clear .\nwalkabout \u2019s screenplay , written by english playwright edward bond , is famously spare ; roeg described it as a \u201cfourteen - page prose poem . \u201d with such a slender script , the production thus relied on improvisation . consequentially , the final product tends to rely more on images than dialogue to tell its story ( a familiar feature of roeg\u2019s filmography ) . this suits the way the film emphasises on the difficulty of authentic communication throughout , whether in the trappings of \u2018civilised\u2019 society or in the australian wilderness \u2013 as discussed in ebert\u2019s aforementioned review , where he argues that walkabout is about the \u201cmystery of communication , \u201d noting that \u201cthe crucial detail is that the two teenagers never find a way to communicate , not even by using sign language . \u201d\ndominated by dazzling photography , gorgeous images and a lush john barry score , walkabout ably serves up a side - by - side comparison between disparate worlds : city life in modern adelaide ( though it looks like sydney ) and the wild , untamed life of the outback . unexpectedly , the crueler , more savage and difficult world , according to the film , is that of the modern and\ncivilized\nman . in the desert , at least , you can understand your enemies .\na final voice over ends the film on a melancholy and wistful note .\nthat is the land of lost content / i see it shining plain / the happy highways where i went / and cannot come again .\n\u201cis it a parable about noble savages and the crushed spirits of city dwellers ? that\u2019s what the film\u2019s surface suggests , but i think it\u2019s about something deeper and more elusive : the mystery of communication . \u201d [ 7 ]\nwalkabout : drama . starring jenny agutter , david gumpilil and lucien john . directed and photographed by nicholas roeg . written by edward bond .

no one ' s biting on the comments . or else you ' ve been too busy to mod them , perhaps . anyway , i read half of your review yesterday , and then sought out the film and watched it for myself . i ' ve just come back and read the remainder of your review and from my perspective , you nailed it . the imagery is very much\nin your face\nand the film pulls no punches in displaying the sharp contrasts between\nmodern\nlife and the natural symbiotic relationship between the aborigine and the outback . reading some other online reviews paint the film is being exploitative of the young actress , but in viewing the film that concept was farthest from my mind . i thought the director skillfully used just about every shot to evoke a natural emotional reaction that was completely inline with his message . the freaky 1960 ' s - 1970 ' s vibe is prevalent throughout and , being a child of the 70 ' s , i thoroughly enjoyed every drop of it . i ' d never seen or heard of this film before reading your review . thank you for sharing it with us john . - nick\ncinematically , the contrasts in roeg\u2019s films are continuous . in walkabout , for example , the urban children are first seen together in a swimming pool next to a body of natural water . their western urban clothing is contrasted with the native\u2019s belt of snakes . the urban pair rely on verbal language and find security in the voices on their transistor radio , while communication with the young hunter is effective only through gesture , etc . at times roeg\u2019s fascination with visual antonyms is almost bludgeoning . the native hunts with spear and hands while europeans are shown killing game with a rifle fired from a jeep . cutting apart a kangaroo for dinner in the wild is opposed to an urban butcher shop . a burning auto is crosscut with a roasting animal carcass . these juxtapositions\u2014and walkabout is especially loaded with them - are a l\u00e9vi - strauss type of structuralist\u2019s perfect data . . . but they lack any especial meaning . in walkabout the establishing sequence at the beginning gives us the contrast , but the contrast is then continued for the rest of the film in an all too predictable vein .\nwalkabout was on tcm lastnight . i had never heard of the film , nor did i watch it from the begining . i missed the part about the father , and i mistakenly assumed he died in a car accident while the childen were unharmed . i found your commentary while searching online to learn more about the movie . after reading several different review sites i ' m dismayed no one thought it odd that none of the dialog of any of the aboriginals is subtitled . the film would seem to be very much about city vs nature , loss of innocence , commentary on isolation in proximity , etc . what got my attention is during the entire film there is an entire culture left mute only in so much as we have no idea what any of the aboriginals are saying . for all we know they could have been told by the director to speak gibberish , or they are talking about us in front of our faces - they see us as children dependent on our toys . in this i wondered if the film mocked the viewers . there is more concern about nudity of the girl than the tacit silencing of the native culture . how very missionary ! ! the irony ! ! ! ! in the end i was insulted that the aboriginal boy took his life over the rejection from the girl . it was great for the shock value but for me the film leapt from a plausable commentary filled with symbolism to a cliche designed to ruffle english sensibilties .\ntaken in toto , this threatens to mythologise and romanticise indigenous australian culture . indeed , it\u2019s easy to regard gulpilil\u2019s character as the epitome of the reductive \u201cnoble savage\u201d stereotype : pure , simple , idealised . this is tempered , somewhat , by the prominence of death within the film \u2013 suicides and burnt - out cars and abandoned towns and fields filled with buffalo bones . walkabout expands upon the book\u2019s comparatively simple conception of aboriginal culture as \u201cdevoted to one purpose\u2026 the battle with death\u201d by portraying death with unvarnished , brutal honesty .\nthe most effective parallels and contrasts in performance involve identities , social roles , sexual roles , disguises , costumes , and performances . in the last analysis it adds up to permutations without profundity . roeg puts the film characters and the film audience through a lot of changes , but to no apparent end . granted , that carefully going through the film one can find traces of references to jorge luis borges , bergman\u2019s persona , painters francis bacon , richard hamilton , and peter blake . but in the flow of the film they are not picked up , or if they are ( merged faces from persona , a pretty obvious one ) , they don ' t add anything , not even self - congratulation at having caught it . if the outside references mean anything , particularly to a stoned audience , it is merely as part of the cultural ambiance of our times , and it would be pretentious to make anything out of it as far as criticism of the film goes . but , one feels roeg really is trying to make something more out of his films than simple mental massages or mind candy for freaks . in a recent sight and sound interview ( winter 1973 - 74 ) he confesses his\nbut the film doesn\u2019t present these two cultures as equals , instead according the aboriginal traditions with a sense of purity absent from \u2018civilised\u2019 culture . this is explicated as the film progresses ; a scene involving weather balloonists stationed in the outback is overtly farcical , while footage of white hunters shooting buffalo for sport earns tears from gulpilil\u2019s silent observer . with a montage of abandoned buffalo corpses , roeg positions the white man\u2019s hunting as cruel and excessive , in contrast to the aborigine\u2019s purposeful communion with nature .\nthe idea for the film - the eventual script started at a reputed fourteen or so pages , and in the end ran no longer than fifty eight or sixty pages - came from the novel by james vance marshall , first published in 1959 .\nconsidered on its most basic terms as a deeply moving and occasionally disturbing drama that features consistently astonishing cinematography , walkabout is entirely successful . as a subtly , almost casually polemic work , it is certain to compel just about any viewer to consider the world , and their preconceptions , in a slightly ( or radically ) different way . on deeper levels , the film\u2019s refreshing lack of calculated profundity allows the arresting vistas of the australian outback \u2014 at once gorgeous and grim \u2014 to serve as both setting and a wordless commentary that speaks volumes .\nthose entranced by walkabout \u2019s disregard for linear time and exploitation of disorienting editing would do well to investigate roeg\u2019s early filmography . the likes of don\u2019t look now , the man who fell to the earth and the controversial thriller bad timing demonstrate the unique ambiguity that made roeg an important arthouse director .\nthe movie takes its title from a custom among the australian aborigines : during the transition to young manhood , an adolescent aborigine went on a\nwalkabout\nof six months in the outback , surviving ( or not ) depending on his skills at hunting , trapping and finding water in the wilderness .\nis it a parable about noble savages and the crushed spirits of city dwellers ? that ' s what the film ' s surface seems to suggest , but i think it ' s also about something deeper and more elusive : the mystery of communication ."]}

black , serious - minded tone , starting with its opening monologue all the way through to the bleak ending . a lot of horror filmmakers feel the need to insert moments of levity into otherwise bleak movies , whether it & apos ; s the introduction of goofy paranormal investigators or a bumbling cop . how important was it for you to maintain the film & apos ; s straight - faced bleakness throughout ? yeah , and that & apos ; s what i loved about certain films in the genre . if you & apos ; re going to make a horror film , then make a horror film . just really go for broke and make a waking nightmare , like that experience i had with the texas chainsaw massacre . but there & apos ; s maybe one or two moments of humor in the canal , maybe with the detective .\nclaire brings over the processed film and david insists that she watch it with him . while david prepares the projector , claire mentions how david called her in hysterics the night before , although he claims that it was not he on the phone . together , they view the footage david shot at the canal and they watch as the shadowy woman rises from the grass and approaches the camera . simultaneously , the woman emerges from the hole in david\u2019s bedroom wall and pulls claire into the crawlspace .\nmcnamara informs david that the police found a hammer in the canal with david\u2019s fingerprints on it . david tells mcnamara about the 1902 murders and the ghost he believes is haunting the home . mcnamara reports david\u2019s mental state to the authorities and children\u2019s services threatens to take away billy .\nin conjunction with the world premiere of the documentary film finding vivian maier the maloof collection is happy to announce an exhibition of vivian maier ' s work at the isa spalding . . .\nthings get worse for david after that\u2014much , much worse . as he begins losing his mind , kavanagh goes all out with the canal & apos ; s horrific imagery . david sees the 1902 murder take place in his bedroom , and it & apos ; s an ferociously brutal stabbing incident partly seen as an old - school film reel ; he later sees a grime - covered , possibly inhuman female figure standing in the tall grass alongside the canal ; figures in the film reels break the fourth wall , the - ending - of - the - ring style ; and there & apos ; s a child birthing sequence that , well , just needs to be seen . words won & apos ; t do it justice here .\n\u201cwho wants to see ghosts ? \u201d a cinema archivist asks a theater full of restless kids in \u201cthe canal , \u201d making a clever pitch to convince those who\u2019ve never watched anything before the dawn of sound or color to give silent pics a try : it\u2019s the best way to see dead people . little does the mild - mannered film buff realize , [ \u2026 ]\nthe discovery of his home & apos ; s bloody past coincides with david & apos ; s mounting suspicions that his wife is cheating on him , which he confirms by catching her and another guy in the act . that night , though , alice goes missing , later to be found dead in a canal . mere feet away from the same canal where , the morning after seeing her having sex with someone else , david woke up on the floor of a dirty , graffiti - laden bathroom , having seen what he believed to be the man in the\ncrime scene\nfilm strangling alice the night before .\nthe film , which follows the story of a five - man tank crew during the last two weeks of wwii , has received mixed reviews , but undoubtedly had some effect on the audience , as evidenced by the audible energy in the room every time a cannon or gunshot rang out . after the two hour , 14 minute film played for the packed theater , ayer and the core cast members ,\nrachel has served as an ifta jury member and was one of the best in film / animation judges for the satellite broadband digital media awards ( 2010 ) .\nits karlovy vary international film festival time ! we will be here for a few more days soaking up the films , the people , and this beautiful town .\nvivian maier at fundaci\u00f3n canal isabel ii virtually unknown photographer vivian maier took close to 200 , 000 photographs while she worked for over 40 years as a nanny primarily on chicago\u2019s . . .\nrachel o\u2019flanagan has worked in the irish film industry for 17 years . she is experienced in developing and script editing feature films and television dramas .\nas effective as the cinematic experience is , \u201cthe canal\u201d is not without cracks in its foundation . although the film works as a supernatural mystery , the script aims for a two - front assault on david by giving him a more earthly police investigation to contend with , too . the problem is , the angle of david\u2019s possible involvement in his wife\u2019s disappearance doesn\u2019t have the same teeth as a crime drama that it does as a hallucinogenic haunting .\nthe canal has plenty of jump scares , often born out of the loud , discordant clangs of the soundtrack ( particularly when david is changing the reels on a projector to torment himself with more unsettling footage of the sins that were once committed in his house ) , and it has plenty of gore . but the terror of the canal stems from something much deeper than blood or loud bangs . it is the terror of abject certainty - certainty that everything will get worse , much worse , before all of this is over .\nsat down to discuss the rigorous training required of them for the film . given the cast\u2019s reflections , ayer\u2019s directorial style and pre - production process clearly took a toll on the actors physically and emotionally .\nand yet , the canal doesn\u2019t feel like anything special . it doesn\u2019t hook the same way movies like the babadook or sinister do and that\u2019s its biggest downfall . rupert evans gives a fantastic performance , but the character of david is bland and uninteresting . the movie also goes through a lull period where very little happens and the stock - scares that you\u2019ve seen a dozen times this year alone fail to cut the mustard . if the movie didn\u2019t have a terrific close and a few other great scenes , the canal really wouldn\u2019t be worth your time .\nin the wake of his wife\u2019s unexplained disappearance , a film archivist uncovers a supernatural link between his house and a 100 -

worker , he discovers that she is having an affair and when she turns up dead in a canal , he is the number one suspect . however , david seems to think the house is haunted and the sinister happenings are what caused her death .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\ndavid ayer \u2019s graphic world war ii film , \u201c fury , \u201d had its final press screening on thursday night at lincoln center before its wide theatrical release today . the director and his star - studded cast have been all over the place promoting the film , even at fort benning , home to the u . s . armor and infantry schools .\nfor the past 12 years , journalist paul moreira has travelled extensively in iraq . in this personal film , he goes in search of the men he filmed back . . .\na good psychological horror that ably blends the line between reality and psychosis . probably elevated by the skills of the lead more than anything else , and my favourite police officer in horror film history .\nas the canal progresses , david starts to become unhinged . when his wife prepares to go to work , david pleads with her to come straight him and she promises to . after work , david follows her as she and alex , their affair now obviously confirmed , walk to alex\u2019s house which is opposite a canal . david follows them from a distance , and catches them in the midst of sexual passion , leaving him feeling betrayed . he stumbles into the worst cinematic toilet seen since danny boyle\u2019s trainspotting ( 1996 ) and begins to see flashes of the murder that occurred well over 100 years ago . like the best ghost stories , the canal presents us with images that give us pause to determine if they are real or are just happening in the mind of the protagonist .\nthere\u2019s a lot of james wan inspiration going on in the canal , and kavanagh proves that he can do wan as well as wan can do wan . from the color palette to the sound design , the canal feels very much like something wan would make , which is needless to say a major compliment . but there\u2019s also a good deal of japanese horror inspiration going on here , particularly when it comes to one scene during the finale that is sure to make those little hairs on the back of your neck stand at attention .\nas far as the acting , everyone comports themselves admirably . inexperienced ( read : bad ) actors can relegate a genre film to the status of b - movie , a problem which\nand while the canal is brooding , it will test the patients of some viewers , and could really use a more impactful finale . still , it\u2019s refreshing to see a filmmaker show such restraint and put together such an old - school genre haunter .\nwith fans massed on the banks of the grand canal , a drone flying overhead , and waterborne paparazzi swarming behind his taxi all the way from the island of giudecca , george clooney arrived at sunset for his wedding reception in the kind of grand spectacle that only the very rich and very glamorous can ever hope to pull off .\nis a ghost story , and from the looks of this trailer probably one that comes in the best sense of those words . one of our top priorities to see during the fest , tribeca describes the film as such :\n' the stag ' ( which is renamed ' the bachelor weekend ' for the american market ) will also screen at the film festival , at which it will receive its us premiere .

murder mystery . shadowy creature lurking in the corners of the room . is he insane or is he not ? the kid ! protect the kid ! is there someone living in the walls ? the babysitter . demons . occult rituals . . . well , you get the point . but i ' ve seldom , in more modern times , seen all of these ingredients being so well executed as in the canal , i even got one of those fantastic endings that i love ( which maybe is the biggest reason for the four star rating ) .\ninjecting explicit imagery into an old - fashioned possession story , writer - director ivan kavanagh brandishes his unusual mix of styles right from the beginning . no sooner has david williams ( rupert evans , handsome but bland ) introduced the aforementioned film screening than \u201cthe canal\u201d launches into a quick - cut archival footage montage , not unlike the one seen in \u201cthe ring\u201d \u2014 though it\u2019s clearly not the movie he\u2019d planned to show the kids , setting the tone with appetite - endangering imagery of naked corpses , exposed entrails and an eyeball being probed .\nflash forward five years : david and his wife , alice ( hannah hoekstra ) , are living in a century - old house in dublin . his job as a film archivist typically isn\u2019t all that exciting ( one of alice\u2019s colleagues dismisses him as a \u201clibrarian\u201d ) , until a box of old crime - scene film strips lands on his desk . among them are a few reels from 1902 that depict a woman\u2019s body being hauled from the canal that runs alongside david\u2019s home . to his considerable shock , david realizes that the murder actually took place at the address where he lives now .\ndavid secretly trails his wife one evening and follows her to alex\u2019s house . david sneaks inside and observes the couple having sex . david grabs a hammer , but leaves without taking any action and without being seen . on his walk home , david throws the hammer into the canal . feeling nauseous over what he just witnessed , david stumbles into the public toilet next to the waterway and vomits . he then sees an image of a mysterious man outside the stall door . david stumbles back outside in a haze and collapses . before passing out , david appears to see the strange man assaulting alice alongside the canal .\nthe canal is the biggest surprise that i ' ve come across in the horror genre for a while now ( if it can even be classified as horror ; i ' d almost rather go with the term experimental thriller ) . it is also , however , an immensely depressing plunge into one of the darkest abysses that the genre has to offer .\nannecy international animation film festival has just finished with a historic number of visitors including 11 , 700 badgeholders , which was 17 % more than in 2017 .\nwhich images in the canal surprised you the most after you came up with them ? to where you were like ,\nwow , i came up with that ? i & apos ; m sick .\n[ laughs . ] at the premiere , one thing that occurred to me is that there & apos ; s actually very little violence in the film , but the violence that is in there , particularly the stabbing scene , i wanted to be very forceful . by making that stabbing scene so hardcore and visceral and happening so early into the film , it leaves a heavy shadow over the rest of the film , so that you don & apos ; t really have to out anymore violence in after that . i think that works and unsettles people . also , the birth scene at the end of the film\u2014to me , that felt like the perfect nightmare image . he was literally being confronted by the awful thing he & apos ; s done . this should be a joyous thing\u2014she should be giving birth to this child but he & apos ; s denied her that , and this is now the true horror of what he & apos ; s done .\ndavid reports alice\u2019s disappearance to the police when she doesn\u2019t come home . detective mcnamara immediately suspects that david killed her . alice\u2019s body is eventually found in the canal , but the coroner finds no signs of foul play and rules her death an accidental drowning . the coroner also reveals that alice was pregnant at the time of her death .\ndavid ( rupert evans ) is a film archivist who appears to have a wonderful home life . but as we learned in eden lake ( 2008 ) , the appearance of normalcy at the start of the film will soon give way to murder and mayhem . david and his very obviously expectant wife alice ( hannah hoekstra ) visit a prospective house to settle in as a family .\ni was going to go into a rant about how the word\ncanal\nis the most disgusting sounding word to ever come out of my mouth thanks to my western new york - learned pronunciation , but i ' ll spare you the navel - gazing ( no i won ' t , i still mentioned it , you still know that if you heard me say the word\ncanal\nyou ' d probably have to ask me to repeat it a few times while stifling laughter , the disgusting sounding word is only rivaled by my pronunciation of\nbagel\n) .\nsound design plays a major role in building the tension , especially during the surreal montages and newsreel footage utilized throughout the film . the crackle and hiss of audio noise highlights every synaptic misfire of david ' s deteriorating mindstate . props are also due the atmospheric score from\nan authentic universal movie camera from 1915\nto film some scenes , which was\nthought to have filmed some action in the trenches during world war 1 .\npretty cool .\nbut instead of looking for heat from the first match strike and a fiery flame , those who let the wick wither and light the room with subtle atmosphere will find their patience rewarded . combining elements of \u201cthe shining\u201d and \u201cthe ring\u201d for a ghost story built on supernatural suspense , \u201cthe canal\u201d is the very definition of a slow - burn psychological thriller , and an excellent one at that .\ngoing back to the film & apos ; s visuals , do those come into your head first and then you backtrack from there and develop the story , or do the story and characters come first and dictate the imagery ? the way i work is , i start with an initial idea . i wanted to make a film with an archivist who suspects his wife is cheating on him . it & apos ; s almost like a stream - of - consciousness style of writing . i begin at the beginning of the script and work my way through it . for this film , i wanted to create a nightmare - like atmosphere throughout it , to have it remain in the main character & apos ; s point - of - view as if he & apos ; s stuck in a nightmare ; the further the film goes on , the more and more nightmarish it becomes .\nchalkroom a . k . a . la camera insabbiata by laurie anderson + hsin - chien huang received the award for best vr experience at the 74th venice international film festival . it was the first time that the festival has held a vr competition .\nit\u2019s bizarre because kavanagh produces some genuinly creepy moments and good scares . his shot choices can be very chilling and his use of sound will make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck . he never uses his scares in quick succession either so you\u2019re constantly on the edge of your seat waiting for the next one to come . the final moments of the film are superb and easily the best parts of the film as kavanagh pushes the boundaries of socially acceptable images with frightening visuals that will linger with you long after the credits roll .\nbefore joining treasure she worked for the darklight film festival and with sister production company still films , working on shorts , animation , documentaries and feature films , including tommy palotta\u2019s emmy - winning the last hijack .\nthe canal isn & apos ; t your first horror film , correct ? i made a really low - budget horror film called tin can man ( 2008 ) which is actually being released at the end of this month here in america . i made that for under 1 , 000 euro . i loved working on that because horror films allow you to do absolutely anything . you can push the visuals and sound design as far as you want . i just love the freedom of the genre , so i was really , really eager to get back to it . and any chance to make something about early cinema is exciting for me because i love early cinema and silent cinema .\ndavid williams lives an average , yet idyllic life . a film archivist by trade , david has a gorgeous wife in alice , and a happy young son named billy . five years after moving into a curious little house situated near a canal , david\u2019s mind begins a trip down a jack torrance - like rabbit hole inspired by suspicions of his wife\u2019s infidelity and the discovery of a horrific slaughter that once took place in his home .\ni say this because it increasingly seems as if slant is swinging towards criticism over reviewing by posting articles that appear to assume that the viewer has seen the film . reading this article , i don ' t have the foggiest idea what the premise is .\nwith shades of sinister and the shining , the canal follows david williams ( an impressive rupert evans ) , a film archivist who & apos ; s married to a much more financially successful wife , alice ( hannah hoekstra ) and the father of a dinosaur - loving , five - year - old son , billy ( calum heath ) . one day , david & apos ; s colleague claire ( antonia campbell - hughes ) tells him that a mysterious reel of film has shown up , addressed to him\u2014it & apos ; s titled\ncrime scene ,\nmade in 1902 and shows the aftermath of a triple murder that took place in the house where david and his family currently live .\nupon secretly spying his wife alice engaged in sexual intercourse with her lover alex , david grasps a hammer and briefly contemplates brutal vengeance . a cooler head prevails however , and david makes his unnoticed exit without taking action . into the canal he tosses the hammer before shuffling towards home in frustration .\nmost of the real people who were involved are alive to tell their tales , although aids casts its shadow in the events of the film and has taken several lgsm members ( this is not pride ' s primary subject but readers who would prefer not to know anything about its impact on the film should stop reading here ) . beresford ' s problem was how to make contact with the survivors from the mining community and lgsm with no obvious internet trail to help him .\nbut thankfully it does have these moments which certainly means the canal gets a recommendation . it will scare the easily squeamish and kavanagh\u2019s direction is first class , but you won\u2019t find anything truly groundbreaking . it\u2019s a lot better than some of the ghost story movies that have come out in recent years , but it also isn\u2019t among the best .\nthe precise arrangements are being kept under wraps due to strict confidentiality agreements , but according to italian reports the main reception is to take place on saturday at the \u201c7 - star\u201d aman canal grande resort and is to be attended by a select group of startlingly stellar guests including angelina jolie , brad pitt and matt damon .\na film that at first seemed worthy of an heir to lynch , fincher or polanski ' s cinema but ends up bordering on ridicule .

out cabin . the lighthearted comedy sees them battle love and life to win the most important thing : each other .\n' he posted the picture , which also included rakeysh , and put up a note , which read - ' teen thay bhai aur ek mein ' . he also mentioned the release date . it is really nice of him to do this , ' said the publicist of the film .\n\u201conce they became familiar with each other , chemistry started building in . this was very important because otherwise actors sometimes just land on sets and start reporting for the shoot without any preparations . none of that happened in case of \u2018teen thay bhai\u2019 , \u201d says mehra who had last worked with a ensemble cast in \u2018delhi 6\u2032 .\npvr pictures ltd . and rakeysh omprakash mehra pictures ' 3 thay bhai ( ua ) is the story of three brothers whose grandfather dies , leaving behind property worth crores of rupees , which they can inherit subject to some conditions .\nteen thay bhai is a story of three brothers who are forced to spend their time together because of their grandfather ' s will . later they fight over their ancestral property as they must fulfil their late grandfather ' s wishes , to get it . the movie was directed by rakeysh omprakash mehra under the banner of pvr and rakeysh om prakash mehra pictures .\nteen thay bhai is , in fact , more in the league of the recent gross - out hollywood comedies . it transposes them to a rustic punjabi setting , even throwing in scenes of a punjabi ramlila gone wrong . the tone is loud , the character and performance of both puri and talpade are deliberately over - the - top , jokes are bawdy and the humour scatological .\n\u201c\u2018teen thay bhai\u2019 is \u2018desi\u2019 not just for the sake of it . it was the requirement of the subject that we bring in \u2018desi\u2019 elements in the film\u2019s screenplay . if there was an urban set of brothers then the story wouldn\u2019t have worked and the film would have fallen apart , \u201d says mehra , who handed over the reins of direction to first timer mrigdeep singh lamba .\nchaar din ki chandni . fatoor singh . 20 . chakravyuh . govind suryavanshi . omg : oh my god ! hanif bhai .\nthe story of teen thay bhai is not set in gulmarg , but rakesyh omprakash mehra chose the hill station nestled between the snow - clad himalayas because he had never seen a more beautiful location .\njust before the crew left for the location , a lot of people scared me , saying kahaan jaa rahe ho . but i had gone there for an earlier recce and i found the place stunningly beautiful and there was no way i was going to change my mind ,\nsaid the director , who shot 85 percent of the film over 45 days there .\nit ' s an immensely standard setup , but there is so much that can be done with it . the filmmakers , perplexingly and exasperatingly , however , seem to believe that merely getting three fine actors is enough . had they locked these three men away in a house with just this setup as an acting exercise brief , i can wager they would have improvised something significantly stronger than this . chameleonic artists all , they ' d have dug their teeth into the challenge and provided definite fireworks . teen thay bhai cruelly handcuffs them with a peculiar script and never really gives them any elbow room .\nom puri , who occasionally gets the chance to be shockingly cruel in this film , revels in his ruthlessness . each , as said earlier , shines every now and then , but on the whole , they seem as bored with the film as the people watching it . there is some fun texture , it must be said . the actor playing the young om has quite a resemblance with the puri of benegal / nihalani vintage ; the use of those mosquito - killer tennis rackets as instruments of torture ; and , okay , well , that ' s pretty much it , really . and producer rakeysh omprakash mehra ' s obsession with the ramayana - - the ram / ravan dichotomy prominent in both aks and delhi 6 before this - - continues here , to unnecessary effect . loud and inert at the same time , teen thay bhai is a film to be shunned simply because of how cruelly it treats three actors we should treasure . rediff rating :\nars\u00e8ne lupin iii , the grandson of the fictional gentleman thief , ars\u00e8ne lupin , is considered the world ' s greatest thief , known for announcing his intentions to . welcome to imdb ' s most powerful title search . using the options below you can combine a variety of the types of information we catalog to create extremely specific . it was later serialized into an anime television series . list of pg -

. ltd . all rights reserved .\nbrothers battling over ancestral property \u2013 has been a familiar fodder for masala movies since ages . but when rakeysh mehra produces a comedy on the same formula , you expect it to be a smart satire . sadly what you get is a slapstick !\nso you have three brothers who can\u2019t stand the sight of each other but still have to coexist for a couple of days , every year to subsequently acquire their ancestral assets , as per their grandpa\u2019s will . the eldest brother is the choleric chiksi gill ( om puri ) who frequently fumes and farts . the second brother happy gill ( deepak dobriyal ) is a dentist whose ultimate fantasy is ironing clothes because his long - lost girlfriend ( ragini khanna ) was a pro at it . third is a wannabe actor fancy gill ( shreyas talpade ) who\u2019s so obsessed with his pup that you feel the film is going to the dogs .\nthey slap , bite , kick , tie and roast each other in their himalayan heritage house to the extent that you wish they were better - off \u2018home alone\u2019 . outside its snowing and inside the house , the chemistry between the characters seems cold and the flow of the story seems frozen . the proceedings get monotonous within the confines of the single - setting plot , until when the narrative cuts into a random and redundant flashback to explain how each brother broke ties with dadaji dear ( yograj singh ) and abandoned house .\nall of sudden the stagnant story goes into a trance with the trio dancing alongside doped girls amidst snowy landscapes . further they are imprisoned where they bicker so badly about each other that it feels you are watching a daily soap where the brothers have replaced the\n. if that is not enough , a cop tortures them using vacuum cleaners , electric flyswatters and waxing strips . but as they are physically tormented , you go through a mental trauma .\nis one of the most incoherent screenplays to have come out in a long long time . the storytelling lacks direction and there is hardly any density to the vague plot . also director mrigdeep singh lamba seems terribly confused about the tone he wants to impart to certain scenes . for instance , at first glimpse you never realize whether the confrontation between dadaji and the eldest brother was supposed to be serious or spoofy . at times , jokes are stretched beyond their expiry date . and after the horrible horseplay , it\u2019s silly of the director to end the film with a moral message on brotherhood . the sundry sensibilities just don\u2019t gel .\nwith almost the entire narrative opening in and around the house , the snowcapped setting of himachal pradesh makes no sense since cinematographer ashok mehta doesn\u2019t get to explore much of the exquisite exteriors . daler mehendi keeps crooning\n\u2019 . the broken english that shreyas speaks through the film appears forced after a point of time . and the romance track between deepak dobriyal and ragini khanna is too half - baked to register .\neven the immensely talented cast cannot make the film bearable . om puri\u2019s character seems so frustrated that it gets on your nerves subsequently . deepak dobriyal underplays his character but fails to impress this time . shreyas talpade seems to be in\nmode . it\u2019s shocking to see ragini khanna not being explored beyond her electrifying smile . yograj singh is more melodramatic than prithviraj kapoor was in\nthey say \u2018where there is a will , there is a way\u2019 . . . there is a will here but the way here is certainly out .\nget latest news & live

couple of genuinely strong laughs apiece , the director doesn ' t really know the art of telling a joke .\ndebutant mrigdeep singh lamba sets up several gags but never quite sees them through , leaving us bored and waiting for the pay - off . in a rather reckless attempt at reaching all audiences , he tries hard to pack his film with something for everybody : scatological humour ; overdone bursts of melodrama ; marijuana - laced parathas ; threestooges - giri . as a result , nobody quite goes back happy . three brothers who loathe each other have to , in accordance with their late grandfather ' s will , spend a couple of nights together each year in a snowed out ramshackle old cottage . if they manage to spend six days there , spread over three years , then they get the cottage

brothers who hate each other and are bound by their grandfather ' s will to guard his ashes till three years after his death , the three actors are a riot . there are fart jokes , lots of humour involving ladies ' underwear , and canine torture . the film was to have been called mad , madder , maddest and as the adventure shot for 44 days in snow bound kashmir valley unfolds , it seems quite justified .\nfor those who love marijuana paranthas , a police officer who inflicts torture with household objects and slapstick action soaked in desi whisky , this is pungent , often puerile fun . the one - eyed grandfather is played by yograj singh , father of yuvraj , with great gusto . ragini khanna who plays dobriyal ' s love interest is fresh , with a smile that stretches from jalandhar to

well . but they lose their way in their noble intentions .\nseems like a terrific idea for a comedy . three brothers separated more at mirth than by birth , trying hard to keep the spirit alive . they fail miserably , not for the want of trying .\nthe script here depends too much on extraneous trappings , too little on integral assets . there ' s no scarcity of acting talent here . shreyas talpade , deepak dobriyal and om puri shine in that order . . . alas , they have no meat to sink their sharp teeth in . often we see the actor groping and grappling with material that doesn ' t give them a chance to move beyond the immediate laughter of a situational comedy . beyond the sound of current laughter there ' s no hereafter in the humour .\nthe static snowcapped location doesn ' t help either . the three principal actors seem as frozen in their efforts to rise above the stagnant humour as the snowy landscape in jammu where veteran cinematographer ashok mehta tries desperately to find a centre in the meandering mirth .\nthe script has the seeds of an engaging satire . but the story never takes off . minimalist props and background music don ' t help drive away the feeling of growing boredom that clutches at the throat of this vapid tale of three brothers who could kill each other with sibling friction and kill us with sheer boredom .\ntowards the end , the plot shifts out a snow - strapped cottage into the outdoors where the brothers are assailed by hippy women who feed them with parathas filled with marijuana . by this time the script has completely run out of tricks to hold our attention . a climax with a giant steamroller as the villain is just about all that we are left looking at .\nis like one of those books whose backflap synopsis offers us tempting insights into human nature . but by the time we settle down to the experience the plot has betrayed its own interests .\nin the league of the recent gross out hollywood comedies . the tone is loud , jokes are bawdy and scatological humour is in full flow\nt he jokey title track of the film , written by gulzar , pretty much sums up its spirit . it\u2019s about three brothers who can\u2019t see eye to eye but are forced to spend two days a year together , for three years in a row , to honour a clause in their grandfather\u2019s will . how does that bring about a change in their relationship ? that\u2019s for us to discover .\nwe meet them in the third year , in a snowed out , isolated cottage in manali . chixy gill ( om puri ) is a petty businessman trying to get his daughters married , happy gill ( deepak dobriyal ) is a dentist who dreams of becoming a dry - cleaner and fancy gill ( shreyas talpade ) is a struggling actor of punjabi movies with dreams of making it big in hollywood . chixy , happy and fancy might sound like chico , harpo , groucho , gummo , zeppo , ie , the marx brothers , but are no match for classic marx bros zaniness .\nthe film , an adaptation of a play , has long scenes played out inside the cottage , which give a proscenium feel . it depends on the characters and their chemistry with each other . sometimes that works , like the sequences where happy tries to take a swig from chixy\u2019s bottle . but the script doesn\u2019t offer interesting situations , nor sparkling dialogue to add zing to the characters and their stupidities . it feels laboured , like fancy\u2019s bad english ( infection for affection ) and the film gets gradually unsustainable as the plot meanders to include stoned german tourists and a buffoon of a cop .\nthe film is watchable for dobriyal , who manages a nuanced performance even in a broad slapstick . the other star is the awesome landscape and those beautiful snowflakes in gulmarg . besides , you can also discover here

time collaboration with cinematographer vittorio storaro , known for epics such as apocalypse now , reds , and the last emperor . this also marks allen\u2019s first foray into digital filmmaking , using a sony cinealta f65 camera . with a star -

director allen also plays lenny , a slightly more relaxed incarnation of his usual neurotic screen persona . lenny is trapped in a bad marriage to high - strung art dealer amanda ( helena bonham carter ) , but he finds solace in his relationship with his adopted young son . indeed , he grows so fond of the boy that he decides to track down the boy ' s real mother , expecting to discover a brilliant professional . instead , he finds linda ( mira sorvino ) , a ditzy prostitute and porno star who mingles casual vulgarity with disarming innocence . despite his initial disillusionment , lenny soon develops a fondness for linda and decides to play matchmaker , setting her up with a handsome young boxer ( michael rapaport ) who is equally good - hearted and scatterbrained . while the contrast between the free - spirited linda and the uptight lenny provides the bulk of the laughs , hints of allen ' s more literary humor are also present , particularly in the scenes involving a roaming greek chorus commenting upon lenny ' s fate . sorvino received a supporting oscar for her title role in a well - received movie that is nevertheless not at the level of allen ' s best - known classics .\nwere mira sorvino ' s all - redeeming , possibly best - list - bound performance to melt away , it would immediately be obvious how malnourished this amiably minor effort is .\nsame ol ' woody , though not as effective as some of his past work .\none of the best woody allen films from this decade . a very funny movie that made mira sorvino a star .\nbetter than average woody allen movie . like mira sorvino in this one . didn ' t like the greek chanters . made no sense at all and no point them being there .\nodd , like all of woody ' s films . it was alright and kind of funny though .\ni think i enjoyed this a little more than i should have : it kind of skirts the heavier issues and makes the central plot point - tracking down your adopted child ' s birth mother - awfully light , and it ' s a little on the corny side in places . . . mira sorvino , for example , is over the top , and michael rappaport is . . . well , michael rappaport . nevertheless , the ironically used greek chorus and the framing of the main characters ' quest in terms of the oedipus plot should go down as one of allen ' s cleverest devices , and though woody allen was basically playing himself ( as he always does ) , he yet again inserted himself into a story crazy enough for his\ncharacter\n( persona , more precisely ? ) to be believable .\nia vardalos tries futilely to recreate some of that my big fat greek wedding magic - this time even going so far as to touch down in the old country itself . she plays a greek - american historian who takes a job as a tour guide to the ancient monuments ( with , i kid you not , alistair mcgowan as her competitive co - guide ) . much of the dialogue is seemingly written at the dictation of the greece tourist board ( there ' s one particularly memorable exchange about the quality of hotel accommodation ) , and the rest of it feels like its been churned out by some auto -

e - yaman in 1933 was not much more than a walk - on part . nor did desh deepak / noor - e - yaman , made the following year , make her star . however , after hunterwali \u2013 directed in 1935 by homi wadia \u2014 there was no looking back . the sobriquet of hunterwali attached itself to the actress who became one of india\u2019s top stars of the 30s and 40s . in this iconic film , after which she was called india\u2019s pearl white , nadia wore tightly fitting and revealing clothes and boots and flagellating the air with a leather whip .\nbollywood\u2019s original stunt queen acted in over 50 films for wadia movietone , the path - breaking studio founded three quarters of a century ago in 1933 by jbh wadia and his brother homi wadia in dadar , mumbai . descendants of the pioneering shipbuilding parsi family of the wadias , the two brothers had a ship as a logo for their studio . the studio that rolled out films of all genres\u2014ranging from mythologicals to social dramas and swashbuckling adventure films\u2014also had many firsts to its credit . this studio was , in 1958 , the first to use the camera crane . interestingly , the crane was built in their own workshop . wadia movietone also produced the first indian talkie that had an english version : court dancer . filmed simultaneously in english , hindi and directed by madhur bose in 1941 , the film ( starring prithvi raj kapoor and classical dancer sadhana bose ) was distributed in the united states . the studio also published the indian screen gazette .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nthey didn\u2019t call her fearless nadia for nothing . cracking whips , swinging from chandeliers , chasing baddies from atop moving trains , the whirlwind blonde who literally kick - started the trend of bollywood action films with the iconic nadia series in the early 30s , was a legend in more ways than one . madhu jain revisits the adrenaline - packed saga of india\u2019s original stunt queen\nshe did not zoom into the sky with the speed of a rocket . bullets did not ricochet off her bounteous chest . nor did she wear her underwear on the outside like superman , the flying , caped crusader . yet , fearless nadia was indian cinema\u2019s first superwoman . cracking a whip , brandishing a sword , racing along the top of moving trains in pursuit of the baddies , swinging from chandeliers , beating up men by the dozen , this rather robust blonde with startling blue eyes was a swashbuckling saviour of the exploited . step aside wonder woman and xena the warrior : we have our own angrez - desi who with her clarion call of \u2018hey - y - y - y\u2019 came to rescue of the poor , the vanquished and damsels in distress . nadia was also india\u2019s first feminist icon of the screen .\nit\u2019s time , once again , to re - evaluate the incredible phenomenon that was nadia , as well as the wadia brothers who combined the genre of stunt films and populist nationalism to great effect in a stream of films . jamshed wadia \u2013 originally a member of the indian national congress before he came under the influence of bengal reformer and marxist , mn roy \u2014 introduced anti - british allegorical references as well a subtext about women\u2019s emancipation . homi wadia , who directed most of the nadia films , eventually married his action - heroine .\nthis year also marks the birth centenary of nadia , the daughter of herbert evans , a scotsman , who was in the british army during the first world war in the north - west frontier , and margaret , an eccentric , fun - loving greek belly dancer . an armenian tarot - card reader advised the young mary to change her name if she wanted to be rich and famous . the armenian lady could not have been more right . nadia soon achieved cult status . so entrenched was her image as the defender of the exploited that fearless nadia belts , whips , playing cards and match - boxes flooded the markets .\nwhips , capes , masks , fur hats , tall boots , and shorts became the accoutrements of this actress who played the female avatars of robin hood , zorro or even tarzan . lady robin hood was the title of one of her films . many of nadia\u2019s films involve trains : miss frontier mail , punjab mail , diamond queen and toofan queen .\nalthough nadia\u2019s films included jungle escapades , fantasy fare and hollywood gangster films , the wadia brothers astutely grafted the nadia persona onto indigenous action heroines of the past : jhansi ki rani and razia sultan who stood up for their rights and were no strangers to swords .\nthe studio no longer exists . nor do most of the people who were associated with it \u2014 or with fearless nadia . however , nadia\u2019s other grandnephew , canada - based roy wadia , has returned to india to revive the legacy . the family has a treasure trove of posters ( many of them surreal ) , lobby cards , diaries , correspondence and books .\ndileep raj , uma , sujata , sheikh , tun tun , amarnath , uma dutt , dalpat , habib , w . m . khan , vishwas kunte , suzie , devraj , prince arjun , makrani , korega . production co : basant pictures . less . . .\nplease be specific and provide a reference source ( book , link , etc . )\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\ncopyright 2010 -

! please give examples or good reasons to substantiate your claims . thank you .\n\u201d i argue that early tibetan buddhism replaced much of the mother goddess worship and incorporated all the female symbolism of the lotus goddess into chenrezig [ the bodhisattva of compassion ] . the tulku system was what put the tin lid on any potential for women to gain equality in the religious sphere , or for their voices to be heard . \u201d\ni am rather alerted about these developments / most seem to fall pray to these tactics of sidestepping . the reasons of my doubts or alertness are : 1 ) the rigpa policy is to denounce the letter of the 8 as \u201emere allegations\u201c , 2 ) they train people in \u201edeep listening\u201c but have never deeply listened to the women and men been harmed and manipulated , 3 ) healing would include to give space and voice to those been harmed and not occupying space and the mind of others with the own feelings , distracting from the pain and sufferings of those been harmed .\nbut the play ' s exuberant theatricality is always vivid ; so much of it is about acting . and what better theatre to demonstrate this in than the globe , where a quick , responsive audience becomes part of the action .\nthe point is that either you have wisdom or not . wisdom includes to see the longterm and short term benefit and the longterm and short term harm of actions . it should be obvious that this was not the case , therefore it was not wisdom . to call the lack of wisdom \u201ccrazy wisdom\u201d is crazy in and by itself . the lack of wisdom is called ignorance or confusion in the teachings of the buddha ( and even in the world . )\nok , it just dawned on me what karma pemo is alluding to . though i believe he\u2019s certainly incorrect to claim dkr is an \u2019emanation\u2019 rather than an incarnation , the term \u2019emanation\u2019 is used to delineate the various incarnations of jamyang khyentse wangpo as the body , speech , mind , activities and qualities emanations of him . dkr is considered to be an activities emanation ie . he embodies the quality of activity but he is definitely an incarnation of jkw . urltoken\ntoday tulku\u0097unfortunately\u0097 [ has ] become almost like the designation of a certain status , a social status . so , among these tulkus , some may have that sort of quality , the possibility to choose their rebirth , some not .\nregarding sogyal lakar\u2019s abusive and unethical behaviors . this response , published on his website , seems to be initially about a comment that one of the signatories of the letter , sangye ngawang , made on facebook . however , in the process of responding , otr addresses what he \u201chas heard\u201d about sangye and the other seven signatories \u201cturning against\u201d sogyal lakhar .\nthe actions of some of the teachers of precious buddhadharma do not reflect the true meaning of the teachings or of buddhist practice . it is time to start evaluating these masters , their conduct , and stop promoting abuse ; physical , financial , sexual and emotional . if tibetans will not call out these teachers , we must . there are ethical teachers out there , but we must each examine our teachers carefully . not to expect perfection in their appearance and behavior at any moment , because some of what appears to us is very subjective and interpreted . but to identify actual abuse and call it for what it is , must be done if the precious dharma is to survive in the west ."]}
