the ballad of narayama
is a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens…
so far so good . there is a neat twist halfway through the film , when damian discovers some startling answers at a farm in missouri . this exciting sequence is the high point of the film . after that , the remaining twists become increasingly far - fetched , and the intriguing story degenerates into a flat - out action movie with car chases and violent shoot - outs that are competently filmed by singh but seem to come from a far more conventional film .
this is a work of fiction : disclaimer after the end credits :
the persons and events in this production are fictitious . no similarity to actual persons , living , dead or reincarnated is intended or should be inferred .
diego : we follow the comic book a little bit , but we also added our personal input . we wanted to try and make a true fan film .
in “reincarnated” calvin broadus jr . — better known as the rapper snoop dogg , or more recently as snoop lion — has a family and speaks longingly of a life and values beyond the los angeles gang milieu that spawned his success . but his longtime appetite for marijuana persists , so he heads to jamaica for a monthlong spiritual pilgrimage of sorts , documented in this competent film from andy capper .
the shining ( 1980 ) is an interesting film . at first , it feels like a traditional horror set - up - a guy gets hired to spend the winter in an enormous hotel , secluded from civilization , where obviously something will go very wrong . as the film develops , it becomes more mysterious , ambiguous , threatening , and hallucinatory . by the climax , you’re left wondering exactly what just happened . nothing brings out that feeling more than the film’s final shot - a zoom in on an overlook staff party from 1921 , where it appears jack torrance ( jack nicholson ) , the film’s lovely central character , is standing front and center .
but all the talk of spirituality and rebirth in the film comes across as sincere and truthful . there seems to be no question that snoop is working through some serious issues in reincarnated , or that he has truly hit a turning point in his life . so either this is some astonishingly masterful propaganda , or it really is a joyous portrait of a man seeking — and finding — spiritual redemption .
it will arrive as a surprise to nobody , stoned or not , that reincarnated is a essentially 90 - minute promo video carefully orchestrated by the artist formerly known as snoop dogg and his handlers . snoop’s life - changing trip to jamaica is demonstrated by the film’s director , vice magazine editor andy capper , as an unbroken stream of spontaneous encounters with reggae legends , ghetto thugs , and music producers , as if snoop snapped his fingers on some airport tarmac and all of jamaica answered magnanimously . he goes on to describe the untimely death of his contemporary nate dogg as the necessary spur for both the voyage and the new album . as snoop explains portentously more than once , “it’s called reincarnated , ” and by the film’s final minutes , both the man and the musician will be redubbed “snoop lion . ”
the film strikes an impressive balance between serious concerns and several hilarious episodes - usually involving snoop and his entourage enthusiastically partaking of jamaica ' s bountiful crops of marijuana .
the film also highlights the increasing influence of the far right in europe . “we’re highlighting that the danger of a resurgence is very much alive , ” said wnendt .

questions about this particular film’s on - set safety standards – not to mention the further - reaching debates about the ethics of using animals in film – are far beyond the purview of this review , but it’s hard to deny that the scandal colors the viewing of what is otherwise a guilelessly mawkish celebration of the canine will to power .

a dog ' s purpose
left me cherishing my borderline - venerable skeezix ; longing to see scamp and fluff and sukoshi and sally , the dear departed dogs of my life ; and wishing i could have been reincarnated as a better master than i was .
to create the
reincarnated
album , snoop hires producer diplo and songwriter angela hunte . he meets reggae singer cutty corn on the block where peter tosh used to live , and when corn sings him an original composition , snoop asks if he can record the song with him . corn brings the
struggle part
to the
reincarnated
album ' s mission statement of
songs of peace , love and the struggle .
snoop also records with his own daughter , who sings a catchy hook that he wrote for her . ( thankfully , she ' s not t - pained into oblivion by the producers . ) songs like
no guns allowed
deliver snoop lion ' s new message , and while
reincarnated
includes recording session scenes , we ' re deprived of full versions of any of the songs .
universal pictures is investigating allegations of animal cruelty after confronting footage leaked from the set of the upcoming family film a dog’s purpose , showing a terrified german shepherd being forced into a raging torrent .
“peta is calling on dog lovers to boycott the film in order to send the message that dogs and other animals should be treated humanely , not as movie props , ” the group said .
reincarnated is the sport of superstars : the rest of us setlle for a new haircut or a facebook status update . calvin broadus jr . once transformed himself into the rapper known as snoop dogg ; now the artist known as snoop dogg is rattling his cages to let us know that he’s adopted a new moniker : snoop lion . he’s introducing fans to his new identity with the release of a new album next month and the current theatrical run of the movie reincarnated , which follows him to jamaica where he records a reggae album and immerses himself in rastafarian culture .
the call for the boycott came on wednesday , when tmz released a leaked video from november , 2015 , footage of a german shepherd being forced into turbulent water during the making of the film .
unfortunately , these moments of reflection and comparison are few .
reincarnated
seems more interested in showing us countless scenes of people smoking herb than in giving us details about the making of the album it purports to be documenting . granted , snoop is immersing himself in a culture where this is a customary process , but it gets old and tired very quickly . a ceremony scene involving the rastafarian equivalent of baptism fascinated me , but
reincarnated
neither explains it nor shows it in full . in the ritual , snoop is officially christened and renamed
the light .
i saw this film at the toronto film festival , and after the 20 , 000th shot of somebody leisurely toking , i thought to myself ,
i could have seen this for free at my ' boy ' s house in jersey city . and in odorama .
watching
reincarnated
again for this review , i still found sitting through it to be a chore . it clearly caters to the smokers in the audience . other folks will most likely be as disappointed as i was . if you ' re in the former category , please don ' t let me dissuade you from buying a ticket . like the man says : smoke ' em if you got ' em .

reincarnated
has a built - in audience , most of whom will watch it while partaking in snoop ' s favorite lung filler . they will find much to enjoy here , 80 percent of which will be due to the fact they ' re high as hell . but if you ' re a sober fan of snoop dogg ' s rap songs , as i am , you ' re in trouble .
reincarnated
comes not to praise snoop doggy dogg but to bury him , documenting calvin broadus ' tossing of the snoop dogg moniker and the rap career that came with it .
the film is most convincing as a musical travelogue , drifting through clouds of weed smoke toward some form of doggy - lion enlightenment . if not taken too seriously , it ' s kind of a blast .
the final shot of the shining , it ' s ambiguity forever helping stanley kubrick ' s most popular film carry on it ' s enduring legacy for nearly thirty years . but what does it actually mean ?
since 1985 , david schoner has worked for the new jersey motion picture and television commission . he is currently the commission’ ' s statewide associate director . under david’s guidance as production coordinator at the film commission , variety ranked new jersey fourth in the country in the amount of production work . new jersey monthly magazine ranked david as having the fourth best job in state of new jersey for his work at the film commission .
there is no need to re - litigate the controversy that sprang up around the alleged mistreatment of a dog actor in this film . a dog ' s purpose is lame enough that you should stay away regardless .
“fostering a safe environment and ensuring the ethical treatment of our animal actors was of the utmost importance to those involved in making this film and we will look into the circumstances surrounding this video , ” the companies said .
“that was one hundred percent at the forefront of my mind , ” capper says . “it needs to be legit . because if he’s going to go out there and say he’s full - on rasta and that he’s bob marley reincarnated , people are going to say , ‘well , that’s a bit fucking rich . ' ”
yet however righteous the indignation of journalism ' s old guard , the vice model is emerging triumphant . by wading into topics usually reserved for
serious
journalism , it has transformed from an independent canadian style mag into a multimedia empire . now even carr ' s daughter , erin lee carr , works at vice as an associate producer . if reincarnated is to be the inaugural film in a new hip - hop - bio - doc - meets - marketing - exercise subgenre ( a doggumentary ? ) snoop and vice are the ideal collaborators .
a manipulative script about dog reincarnation that whacks your emotions like a piñata - that ' s forgivable . but no mercy for a film charged with canine abuse behind the scenes . it shouldn ' t happen to a dog .
the pre - release discussion of “a dog’s purpose” has largely revolved around a brief , disturbing video clip , provided to tmz by the people for the ethical treatment of animals , in which a german shepherd performing on the film appears to be forced unwillingly into a raging water tank . the video stirred outrage and calls for a boycott , prompting hallström and screenwriter w . bruce cameron ( on whose novel the film is based ) to issue statements in the film’s defense , as well as a thorough response from producer gavin polone , who acknowledged that the incident never should have happened , while also claiming that full , unedited footage from that shooting day reveals a much less objectionable picture .
“you know , i was invited to the white house to play for obama , ” he says in the film after discussing some of the less positive aspects of his back catalog . “but what the fuck am i gonna perform ? ”
cursed with awesome : the film implies that this is what soulmates have . they meet and fall in love quickly and are very happy with each other . but without each other , the other can ' t function and lives miserably .
hallstrom released a statement wednesday : “i am very disturbed by the video released today from the set of my film ‘a dog’s purpose . ’ i did not witness these actions , which are unacceptable and would never happen with my knowledge . we were all committed to providing a loving , respectful and safe environment for all the animals in the film . i have been promised that a thorough investigation into this situation is underway and that any wrongdoing will be reported and punished . ”
cover story : snoop on pot , the music biz and his movie ' reincarnated ' smith says vice ' s film activities have been growing
exponentially .
the company didn ' t commit to a specific number of releases , but smith said he is eyeing several features for next year .
i don ' t know if that ' s going to stay static or double in 2014 ,
he says .
you want to do it in such a way that you keep quality control and have enough people who are excited about it to make it work .
the vice rockumentary heavy metal in baghdad , which followed two vice filmmakers as they track down an iraqi heavy metal band during the iraq war , helped get the snoop project started , and smith expects that to help keep the company in the spotlight .
snoop saw heavy metal in baghdad and said , ' i want that , '
smith explains .
now people are seeing reincarnated and saying , ' we want that . ' so we are doing a lot more features - - not just in america but all around the world . we ' re doing some stuff in india right now , stuff in germany and england .
vice films produced reincarnated with snoop ' s snoopadelic films .
a scrappy roughneck from just outside liverpool , the 40 - year - old , flat cap–wearing filmmaker is at sxsw , where he’s screening his first feature - length documentary , reincarnated . the film chronicles the gangster rapper snoop dogg’s transformation into the rastafarian reggae artist snoop lion and follows him during his trip to jamaica , where snoop spent 3 1 / 2 weeks recording his new reggae album with super - producer diplo . snoop had been a fan of capper’s work , including the vice guide to liberia , and his team said he wanted to team up with vice to tell his story .
seeing the film should be your first priority , and all the showtime info for the remaining screenings during tiff is right up there and you can buy your tickets here . after that you should head over here and rsvp for the afterparty .
eninem ' s alter - ego , rabbit triumphs against the odds in urban america . and with curtis hanson of la confidential in the director ' s chair , the real eminem triumphed too ; this one pleased film critics as much as fans .
julio : it started in november of 2015 and it took us about 4 months to finish everything , but we had to put post production on hold in march because diego and i went to kentucky to shoot a feature sci - fi film called curvature .
the subsequent years proved to be an up - and - down affair for taylor . there were more marriages , more divorces , health obstacles , and a struggling film career , with movies that gained little traction with critics or the movie - going public .
after years of turmoil and transformation — from calvin broadus to the d - o - double - g , from gangster to pimp — the rapper we all know as snoop dogg has now officially been reborn as snoop lion , and turned from rapper to reggae singer with a new record ( also titled reincarnated ) coming on april 23 and based in jamaican roots and dancehall music .
he adds , “i figured i’d make a film about his life story as well , since i had him in the corner and i wasn’t going to let him get away , so i just thought , i’m going to fucking go to town on this . ”
een observers of the former snoop dogg ' s career may note that reincarnated – on which he reinvents himself as snoop lion , rastafarian purveyor of spiritual reggae – is not the first time the rapper has expressed dissatisfaction with hip - hop and attempted to change musical direction . we can but speculate what became of the band he announced in 2006 , enticingly described as r & b
with a twist … we ' re basically a male chauvinist group
. but his new move has certainly proved his most controversial ; no mean feat given that that r & b group was called nine inch dicks . no sooner was reincarnated in the can than word came from jamaica that his commitment to rastafarianism was being questioned . bunny wailer , who was slated to appear on the album , described it as
largely retired from the world of acting , taylor received numerous awards for her body of work . in 1993 she received the american film institute & apos ; s life achievement award . in 2000 she was made dame commander of the order of the british empire ( dbe ) .
are there more interpretations to the final shot of the shining ? i would love to hear them and add them to this entry , the more the better , no matter how outlandish they may seem . what have you always made out the end of the film to mean ?
snoop dogg is quite an interesting character in his own right , and if or when hollywood decides to give him the biopic he so thoroughly deserves , it should be hugely entertaining . unfortunately , reincarnated is not that movie , instead focusing on snoop ' s travels to jamaica to immerse himself in the local culture , record his first ever reggae record , and smoke weed . lots and lots of weed .
tenzin sets off on this unforgettable quest on foot , mule , and even helicopter , through breathtaking landscapes and remote traditional tibetan villages . along the way , tenzin listens to stories about young children with special characteristics , and performs rarely seen ritualistic tests designed to determine the likelihood of reincarnation . he eventually presents the child he believes to be his reincarnated master for the dalai lama to make the final decision .
capper captures plenty of diverting adventures in and around kingston , as snoop jams with a band of sweet - faced school kids and visits a marijuana field deep in the foggy recesses of jamaica ' s lush blue mountains . ( there may be more weed smoked in
reincarnated
— in blunts , bongs , even the occasional hollowed - out carrot — than in the collected works of cheech & chong . )
reincarnated
opens with a huge puff of marijuana smoke , an appropriate image for a documentary starring the artist formerly known as snoop dogg . the newly christened snoop lion appeared on hbo ' s
real time with bill maher
a few weeks ago , and throughout his segment , maher kept smelling his guest . you can bet your last money that snoop didn ' t smell like april fresh downy .
in the original ending , chris and annie are reincarnated as a white man and an indian woman and get married , but annie dies young - as dictated by the laws of karma because of her suicide in her previous life . chris spends decades , the rest of his life , mourning her . chris sees their future selves enjoying heaven off in the distance , and they decide it ' s worth it .
so what’s jack doing in 1921 ? in a film full of ambiguities , the photograph is something director stanley kubrick actually discussed in interviews . his answer not only explains the concept behind the photo , but serves to counter some other theories as to what’s going on overall at the overlook hotel .
a dog’s purpose is not a good movie . its characters , both human and canine , are two - dimensional . its narrative structure , which jumps from one unrelated dog owner to the next , is lumpy . its premise , that dogs are reincarnated and retain memories and habits from their past lives , is highly dubious . if you are an even mildly discriminating filmgoer , you will roll your eyes throughout a dog’s purpose .
and so , to jamaica , where it is reported that snoop dogg became
snoop lion
, converted to rastafari and recorded reincarnated , an album of reggae - tinged tracks , which eschews
guns ' n ' bitches
in favour of
peace ' n ' love
. is this a spiritual reawakening ? an elaborate marketing stunt ? or just your everyday , risible midlife crisis – albeit
doggy - style
?
somewhere between inhales , maher told snoop
you smoke too much weed in this movie !
snoop agreed , and boy , he was not kidding . if the mpaa were remotely creative , their rating description for
reincarnated
would be
rated r for rampant reefer , pervasive pot , some shizznit and constant kutchie passing .
this is the first movie that would benefit from being released in smell - o - vision .
her breakout role , however , came in 1944 with national velvet , in a role elizabeth taylor spent four months working to get . the film subsequently turned out to be a huge hit that pulled in more than $ 4 million and made the 12 - year - old actress a huge star .
what does it take to get vice behind a film ?
we think that passion breeds success ,
smith says .
you need passion - - not just from me and the executive team but also the kids in the trenches who do the events , magazine and advertising . of course , film expands what we do . everything builds on everything else . when you have a good film , everybody gets behind it , and you push it into the magazine . so you have great content in the magazine , and the magazine gets more popular , and the film gets more popular and your online stuff gets more popular . but you have to pick and choose very wisely . you have to get behind them because they are good , not because you want to make money or something else . obviously , you want to make money , and that only comes when something is successful .
vice focused on original web video years before such online giants as google / youtube and aol , and it has started crossing over and working with media giants like time warner . it also has another tie to the traditional media world : former viacom ceo tom freston is an adviser for the firm .
i enjoy behind the scenes stuff and this interview was no exception . i found it fascinating to read about how these two filmmaking brothers made low budget film short magic . i especially loved reading the two brothers talking about what it’s like to work together . you can definitely sense the comradery between them .
anyway , now to the point . reincarnated is a documentary that i ' ve seen twice now , and i ' ve noticed that it gets a lot of hate from the letterboxd community . don ' t get me wrong , it ' s nothing incredibly special as documentaries go , and it ' s certainly nowhere near the quality of films such as the act of killing . but it ' s a competently made film , it ' s shot quite nicely , and it ' s interesting for anyone who is a snoop dogg ( or lion ) fan or anyone who just enjoys rastafarian culture or reggae music in general . it definitely drags at times and sometimes comes off as sensationalist , but there ' s also plenty of good material here . there…
the gangster flick – with its rise - and - fall narrative – has long been the go - to genre for these hip - hop hagiographies , and for obvious reasons , but reincarnated takes a different tack . the scene where snoop and his entourage stumble around a jamaican hillside , in search of – you guessed it – some marijuana to smoke , has more in common with cheech and chong ' s stoner comedies than mid - period scorsese .
reincarnated
shines when it focuses on comparisons between the birthplaces of the two sides of calvin broadus . the kids who play instruments for snoop lion are from a school for troubled boys run by sister shirley chung . as rewards for good behavior , the boys are taught to play musical instruments .
had something like this been in long beach ,

“a dog’s purpose” is the type of movie that lives or dies entirely on its audience’s goodwill . with it , the lasse hallström film could serve as a cinematic warm blanket in this moment of national fractiousness and fear : full of adorable pooches , gentle breezes of hallmark card philosophy , and nonpartisan rah - rah americana . without it , it veers dangerously close to kitsch , shamelessly exploiting one of the most reliable tear - jerking devices in fiction – the death of a dog – over and over again . given the undesirable press that has surrounded this film over the past week , goodwill may be in short supply .

once damian has been reincarnated , he adjusts slowly but eagerly to his healthy new body , satisfying his hedonistic appetites . soon , however , damian begins to be troubled by mental visions that his handlers assure him are merely hallucinations . but damian begins to suspect that they are images of events that really happened . whose past is he remembering ? as he searches for answers to the mystery , the organization is desperate to keep him from learning the truth .

more honest than you might expect a promotional piece such as this to be , but less self - investigative than you might like , you come away thinking there are much greater depths for snoop lion to plumb . the musician never adds to our general knowledge of rastafarianism either . but , if nothing else , the making of reincarnated is going to be a hell of an ingenious way to write off a hell of a lot of ganja as a business expense .
coming three years after eminem ' s far superior 8 mile , this similar film suffered by comparison . there ' s no getting around the fact that 50 cent has little acting talent , and why jim sheridan of in the name of the father was signed up to direct is one of cinema ' s enduring mysteries .
snoop dogg goes to jamaica and reinvents himself as reggae performer snoop lion in this documentary film . reincarnated comes from two camps vice films and snoop - a - delic productions . vice is known for it ' s youtube videos and more . they mainly cover the news as they see fit which is some hard hitting journalism that other news isn ' t showing ( see hbo ' s vice tv series for more of that ) , but they also cover the weird and interesting side of life as well . snoop ' s snoop - a - delic production line , on the other hand , promises an inside look and the real deal close up look at his travels in jamaica . what transpires could be derided by some as a puffed up vanity piece but that ' s not a deep…

in the villain role , matt dillon is perhaps the film’s most enjoyable character . clearly aware of how ridiculous the material is , he chomps the scenery and appears to be having a good time . it’s quite the change of pace after his work in this year’s powerful crash , perhaps his best dramatic work since drugstore cowboy .
reincarnated
digs deeper when the director cuts to excerpts from a series of disarmingly intimate interviews with snoop in which the rapper ponders the violence in his past , including the unsolved killing of his friend tupac shakur and snoop ' s arrest in 2006 on weapons - related charges . speaking with the kind of forthrightness he rarely summons , snoop describes his transition to reggae as an effort to outrun those demons , to access the music ' s ability to transform pain into power .

peta also said that the dogs used to film “a dog’s purpose” were provided by birds & animals unlimited . the group complained to the u . s . department of agriculture recently about bau , alleging that peta’s investigation showed that the animals were denied veterinary care , forced to sleep outdoors in the cold and living in unsanitary conditions .
while her love life continued to make international headlines , taylor continued to shine showed as an actress . she delivered a riveting performance in the drama a place in the sun , and turned things up even more in 1956 with the film adaptation of the edna ferber novel , giant that co - starred james dean . two years later , she sizzled on the big screen in the film adaptation of tennessee williams & apos ; cat on a hot tin roof . the following year , she starred in another williams classic , suddenly last summer . taylor earned her first oscar , capturing the coveted best actress award for her role as call girl in butterfield 8 ( 1960 ) .
reincarnated ’s strong suit is its production , which was handled in large part by diplo ’s major lazer braintrust with help from vybz kartel collaborator dre skull and producer / songwriter ariel rechtshaid . the album’s sonic architects ease off their trademark futuristic dance floor bedlam here , opting instead for what sounds like a lovingly cultivated genre - bending mixtape . reincarnated flits from the rock - reggae fusion of “rebel way” to the old school dancehall of “here comes the king” to the lumbering boom bap of “lighters up” early on . and then it makes stops at roots reggae for “so long” and spectral dub on “ no guns allowed ” , which cleverly lays a mellotron line reminiscent of gorillaz ’ “clint eastwood” over a loop of beirut ’s “nantes” . things get hairy with “get away” , which rehashes elements of “pon de floor” in spots , and “the good good” , a drab acoustic jingle better suited to pad out the back end of a matisyahu album , but missteps on the production front are mercifully scant .
during an intimate moment in reincarnated , snoop gazes at the floor as recounts the deaths of tupac shakur ( the rapper was shot dead in 1996 ) and nate dogg ( who succumbed to multiple strokes in 2011 ) , and also recounts about his own numerous run - ins with the law for possession of drugs and guns . he’s seen too much of that world , he says , and wants to create a more positive message with his music after years of songs that focused on the negative .
not to be confused with the 1946 hitchcock film , notorious chronicles the life and violent death of rapper biggie smalls ( aka the notorious b . i . g ) in gangster - flick style . acting unknown jamal woolard is great in the lead , but nick broomfield ' s 2002 doc , biggie & tupac , tells the story better .
elizabeth rosemond taylor was born on february 27 , 1932 , in london , england . one of film & apos ; s most celebrated stars , elizabeth taylor has fashioned a career that & apos ; s covered more than six decades , accepting roles that have not only showcased her beauty , but her ability to take on emotionally charged characters .
the borat - style film , based on the bestselling novel by timur vermes , puts adolf hitler back into german society and utilises the reactions of real people for humour . over the weekend , it knocked pixar’s hit adventure inside out off the top spot and became the country’s no 1 release . it has already made around £8 . 5m .
if you ' ve watched cloud atlas and you ' re still a bit confused , it’s easy to see why . each of the six intertwined stories takes place in a different era and assumes the tropes of completely different genres . actors play multiple roles across the film , switching ages , races , and even genders from tale to tale . tracking those actors is somewhat key to understanding the connective plot , in which various souls are reincarnated or migrate over time — crossing the ages like clouds cross the skies . ( in the book , you could track the reincarnation by the bodies that shared a comet - shaped birthmark ; in the film , the birthmark just signals our protagonists , and the actor triggers the reincarnation . ) see hugo weaving ? then you ' ve got the bad soul who will only get worse over time . see tom hanks ? then you ' ve got the recovering soul who starts off bad but will become ( mostly ) good over the course of his journey . here is a guide to the karmic chameleons of cloud atlas . ( note : to avoid confusion we will mostly refer to the characters by the names of the actors who play them . )

so to the challenges of pastoral continuity and academic progression at the primary / secondary boundary we might add the experience of moving between distinct educational and professional cultures . there’s no mention of this in ofsted’s ‘wasted years’ report .
he had spent 15 years working on it , producing 33 drafts before the final version was approved .
to my delight , i got one in on my first go , three years ago this month .
i just wasted ten seconds of your life

this disturbing judgement followed hard on the heels of another . subtitled ‘the wasted years ? ’ an earlier ofsted report claimed that many secondary schools were concentrating on maximising student achievement in key stage 4 at the expense of the quality of teaching and learning in key stage 3 . moreover , said ofsted :
can ' t believe it ' s 3 years since those metro slags published my first ever rush hour crush . still does my nut to this day .

there’s a new iron maiden live album incoming – it documents the band’s last two years touring the world , which saw them play to about two million people .
looking back at my old exploits , i’ve tried to put some form of meaningful spin on the whole enterprise . possibly to lend it more meaning than it deserves , but possibly because going through them all again really did remind me of how wasted and bored i felt three years ago and , happily , how alien that feeling seems to me now .

the trials and triumphs of key stage 4 . i find it significant that during the past decade there have been two major independent enquiries into post - early years education – the
disc two will offer extensive bonus footage documenting part 3 in the history of iron maiden . the 40 - minute documentary features interviews from each maiden band member along with managed rod smallwood . the second disc will also house 5 remastered promo videos and the 1987 documentary & apos ; twelve wasted years , & apos ; which will be the 90 - minute film & apos ; s dvd debut .
these cultural , developmental and comparative considerations in no way excuse such inadequacies of y6 / 7 communication , attainment tracking , staffing and teaching as are recorded and illustrated in ofsted’s ‘wasted years’ report . however , they do confirm that the task of ensuring steady academic progress from the upper years of key stage 2 into and through key stage 3 is more complex than ofsted may have grasped ; that couching the issue in terms of blame rather than explanation may be what ministers demand but it is hardly helpful ; and that pinning the entirety of that blame on secondary schools is neither fair nor productive .
divided after age 11 ? the wasted years ? ( echoes of the divisive consequences of the 1944 education act are uncanny though surely unintended ) . in light of such devastating assessments , and mindful of the minister who notoriously decreed that the chief aim of primary education is to make children ‘secondary ready’ , primary teachers might well retort , ‘we are making them secondary ready . but are secondary schools ready to receive them ? ’
take ownership of your failures especially when you have been in business for 15 + years and you still dont have any foundation to work with . rediculous that upper management and owners have let it go this far
these are the crucial years for most children . the outcome of this two year period can heavily determine what will happen in the rest of their lives . what they need now is support and guidance from experienced hands .
pretty soon i was getting in one a week or so . i think in two years i submitted 60 and had 19 published . although as with scatman , there were some i submitted as many as six or seven times .
at greenfields , the upper senior years operate like a well - oiled machine : subject teachers know the cambridge curriculum and its levels of attainment and have planned accordingly to deliver the best possible product to each individual in their care . over the five terms of study , with one term being taken up with the exams themselves , students are carefully timetabled and programmed to get the best out of all their preceding years of education . greenfields delivers cambridge’s international general certificates of secondary education ( igcses ) .
the a & m years 1988 - 1990 comes packaged in a clamshell box and can be pre - ordered exclusively from the sde online store urltoken for shipping in early december . a limited quantity of the box set signed by sam is currently available .
finally , whether we accept ofsted’s alarming judgement about a ‘wasted’ key stage 3 , we must i think acknowledge that the education of children aged 11 to 14 has not received the national attention it deserves . perhaps it too has tended to be viewed as no more than a prelude or anteroom to what follows , in this

on vhs . the picture quality and audio are fine , may not be 5 . 1 or whatever is the current trend to have but this is something that will never see the light of day in america on dvd . so if you want it , you have to get it elsewhere or snag a copy on amazon . if your are a true iron maiden fan , you have already bought this on vhs in the mid - 80 ' s , this is just released now on dvd from brazil i think . some rare clips and a very good documentary for the time when the band was at it ' s peak . i recommend the program on dvd or vhs , just don ' t listen to someone say this is a

in mitigation it must be stressed that secondary school leaders have been as eager as their primary colleagues to address concerns about inadequate transfer arrangements by improving communication and information exchange and making children’s transition as comfortable as possible . yet while the ofsted ‘wasted years’ report acknowledges the success of schools’ efforts to secure such pastoral continuity from primary to secondary , it finds academic continuity a more intractable problem , and it confirms maurice galton’s finding that the failings are pedagogical no less than structural . startlingly so , for there can be few requirements for effective teaching more obvious than discovering and building on what the child has already learned . how can those castigated by ofsted not understand this most elementary of principles ?

was especially tight in those years i worked in my last job . i’d moved over to london from ireland , where employment prospects weren’t so hot . i would never stoop so low as to deploy hoary and reductive old stereotypes but , in 2011 , it seemed that paid jobs in ireland were significantly less common then gently weeping statues of the virgin mary .
track 1 recorded live on october 15th , 1986 in sheffield , united kingdom . track 2 recorded live on april 8th , 1980 in london , united kingdom . track 3 recorded live on february 22nd , 1980 at top of the pops . tracks 5 , 6 , 8 , 10 , 11 recorded live on march 20th , 1982 in london , united kingdom . tracks 7 , 14 recorded live on march 16th , 1985 in los angeles , california , united states . tracks 9 , 12 recorded live on december 18th , 1983 in dortmund , germany . track 13 recorded live on august 20th , 1986 in bochum , germany .
my job was not creatively stimulating . it required about as much brain power as separating your keys out from one big fob and on to another , smaller fob , only it was roughly 4 per cent as satisfying . but i did have one creative outlet , one i would mercilessly abuse for a few years as i struggled manfully in my brave struggle with pivot tables and mail merge .
we might enter further notes of reservation . ‘across england’ says hmci wilshaw , ’85 per cent of primary schools are good or outstanding compared with 74 per cent of secondary schools . ’ this finding came from inspection data collected before the introduction of ofsted’s common inspection framework in september 2015 . the new framework , says ofsted , ‘ensures more comparability through inspection when children and learners move from one setting to another . it supports greater consistency across the inspection of different remits . ’ this is in effect an admission that under the previous framework – the one that yielded the ‘nation divided’ and ‘wasted years’ findings – using ofsted data to compare different setting types was an uncertain science . if that structure applied to settings catering for similar age ranges ( the concern of the new framework ) it must have applied no less , and probably more , to inspection - based comparisons between primary and secondary .
we meet rock and roll princess bride sara—but more importantly , we meet her cleavage , which is in our face every few minutes or so . we also meet lori , who presumably chose to be on a reality television show to share the “painfully romantic” story of how she and her husband met—she certainly didn’t go on the show to win a honeymoon , because her wedding takes place in what’s essentially a low - ceilinged basement . add about 20 more shots of cleavage , a drunk bride ( who actually admits she’s wasted ) , a bunch of roaming children and a bride who wants to eat everything ( including the other brides and their children ) , and you’ve got this week’s episode .
this video is exiting to watch , you would never get bored with it . some things that are totally over the top is listening to the interviews of each member . steve talks more than bruce , dave , adrian & nicko . steve basically discusses what happened in maiden ' s early days , how a record company got interested in them , going up to cambridge & recording i think 4 songs maiden had arranged , about getting snowed in with no place to stay while they were in cambridge . when adrian joined , steve said adrian couldn ' t decide whether to join or not , so steve said
well we ' ve decided for you , you ' re in
. dave talks about playing at the marquee club in england seeing the crowds reaction when maiden were performing . bruce discusses his interview with rod smallwood . adrian talks about him & dave playing together in bands before they joined maiden . and nicko talks about how he first got started with maiden . of course , a lot of their road crew is interesting to listen to their stories . one of them talks about how the song the number of the beast came about . and needless to say , maiden ' s songs are their best , performances are fabulous . the number of the beast , running free & the trooper come from live after death . wasted years show the members goofing around playing different instruments , except adrian . it ' s definately a video to add excitement in the iron maiden archives . but , when you think about it , iron maiden adds excitement anytime they step on the stage , being interviewed or whatever is taking place .
we & apos ; ve been busy upgrading this concert footage for a long time , with our in - house film producer and director andy matthews working tirelessly to weave his magic yet again ! . the 1989 vhs video has been largely unavailable for many years and we know how eagerly our fans have been awaiting the new version so we wanted to give it the best possible treatment . the current maiden england world tour which continues later this year revisits much of the set list and production from the initial 1989 vhs release so it will be interesting to compare just how much has changed in terms of our 2013 live show production , especially with all the advances in modern technology and the improvements we & apos ; ve been able to make to the set .
but is it that simple ? in exploring diagnoses and cures we should remember , obvious though it may be , that the worlds of primary and secondary are very different , not just in respect of school size and organisation but also culturally and developmentally . large primary schools are growing larger but they remain mostly smaller than secondary . while the primary curriculum , unless it capitulates completely to the pressures of testing and inspection , remains reasonably broad and uniform from reception to the end of year 6 , the secondary curriculum is an altogether more complex enterprise , starting broadly before it narrows and fragments into multiple options as pupils progress from ks3 to ks4 . and though some primary schools are deploying teachers’ specialist expertise more flexibly than they did , say , twenty years ago , in most primary schools generalist teaching remains the default .
human development is a factor too . the primary years – what alan blyth called ‘the midlands of childhood’ – are a period of rapid physical , cognitive , social and linguistic development but this follows a fairly steady trajectory . about teenage growth spurts , hormonal surges , sleep patterns , eating habits , identity crises , mood swings , emotional turbulence , peer power , ambivalence towards adult authority and all the rest we need do no more than remind ourselves how very different pre - adolescent and adolescent children can be , including , as we now know from neuroscience , in the structure of their brains . ofsted says nothing about this either . yet i recall the late ted wragg – an instinctive and gifted teacher of children of any age – turning to me during a somewhat rarified qca discussion about the year 7 / 8 dip to mutter , ‘have they forgotten what adolescence is like ? ’
have just announced the release of a new concert dvd ! the band used their 1988 & apos ; maiden england & apos ; tour setlist as a basis for their most recent north american tour , but now , those who were unable ( or weren & apos ; t born early enough ) to see the tour can relive the heavy metal mastery beginning march 25 , when iron maiden release their & apos ; maiden england & apos ; 88 & apos ; double - disc dvd .
iron maiden have released some of metal & apos ; s greatest live cds and videos throughout their career such as & apos ; live after death , & apos ; & apos ; rock in rio , & apos ; & apos ; flight 666 & apos ; and & apos ; en vivo ! , & apos ; but as any maiden fanatic will tell you , there & apos ; s no such thing as too much maiden .
the upcoming & apos ; maiden england & apos ; 88 & apos ; live release will be available as a double cd , digital audio download , limited edition double picture disc vinyl and most importantly , a double dvd . disc one will contain the classic & apos ; maiden england & apos ; concert video , which was originally released on vhs in 1989 , along with three previously unreleased encores : & apos ; running free , & apos ; & apos ; run to the hills & apos ; and & apos ; sanctuary , & apos ; clocking in at a total run time of 110 minutes . the & apos ; maiden england & apos ; footage has also been remastered digitally , resulting in grander image quality and more visually pleasing color correction .
the & apos ; maiden england & apos ; concert footage was painstakingly edited by iron maiden bassist steve harris , who is widely known as the maiden mastermind . the work put in by harris paid off phenomenally , and will be seen once again in all its glory on march 25 .

the video material , even though old stuff , is a wonderful footage of iron maiden rare scenes . especially hilarious is the german tv - appearance . : ) i also love the candid interviews by the band members .
anyone who has been in a band will love seeing this story of how a rock band went from playing tiny pubs to huge stadiums . iron maiden come across as very down to earth , with no pretentions and a huge sense of fun . there are some revealing interviews with band members and ex - band mambers , sat in their old drinking - holes reminiscing about how it all started . add this to some brilliant concert footage , including rare early material , and this adds up to a very entertaining and interesting film .

that’s the extra time passengers spent getting through crowds at stations and onto trains , delays to trains at stations because of so many people , and queues at the barriers by those even trying to get onto the platforms .
heading the list of shame is the jubilee line which recorded 147 , 451 hours lost – more than double the waiting time of other lines .
the figures were released by caroline pidgeon , liberal - democrat london assembly member , who today called for half price tickets for those who travel early in the morning to avoid the peak period .
she said improvements to the tube were “not keeping pace” with increasing passenger numbers .
across the network busy stations such as victoria and king’s cross are frequently shut during busy periods to allow dangerously high level of people on the platforms to disperse .
the statistics show the number of incidents of tube delays caused by overcrowding – more than four million people use the network every day and the number is rapidly increasing – has tripled between 2012 and 2016 .
that’s up from 136 , 644 hours lost for the same reason in 2012 .
ms pidgeon called for “new and imaginative” policies to tackle the overcrowding crisis – including cheap “early bird” half - price tickets for those starting early .
she said : “these figures powerfully demonstrate that improvements to the tube are in many places not even keeping up with the rising demand for travel created by london’s booming population and record number of tourists .
it is vital that the growth in tube delays caused by overcrowding comes to an end . ”
“there is a vital need to maintain investment in improving the tube , however we also need to go further and consider imaginative policies to manage demand on the tube .
a good start would be to encourage more people to start their journeys earlier in the morning by offering half price tube travel for any journey that starts before 7 . 30 am .
“the pressure now placed on the jubilee line also shows why a pedestrian and cycle bridge linking rotherhithe to canary wharf is so needed and plans for it must be accelerated .
“the bridge will play a valuable role in relieving pressure on the jubilee line , especially at canada water . ”
steve griffiths , chief operating officer for london underground , said : “crowding is more often a consequence rather than a cause of delays .
london’s success means the city’s population is growing and we have consistently argued that this means sustained investment needs to be put into modernising and expanding the transport network .
“that is why we have one of the biggest investment programmes in the world .
the tfl - run elizabeth line , which will open next year , will serve more than half a million customers a day , while our signal modernisation , new more frequent trains , and rebuilding of stations like victoria and bank are critical . ”

this cleavage - flaunting ( your breasts were basically spilling out , lady ) self - described “rock star princess” hates children , and she isn’t afraid to share that with the camera . she refers to michelle’s children as her “wildest nightmare” and takes issue with the kids running around at michelle’s reception . no big deal , though—apparently she plays a “mean air guitar . ” if you’re a friend of sara’s , you probably don’t have kids , because that would just be too great a burden on her .
” ) , and suggests that the trio of brides go for chicken wings after lori’s basement - hosted hors d’oeuvres–only reception . in other words , she’s our kind of woman . she also has the gall to call out michelle’s choreographer to the confessional cam ( michelle performs a dance at her reception with her flower girl and bridesmaids ) —apparently mattea ran into her in the washroom and she admitted to the catty bride that the group had performed the routine incorrectly . me - ow !
michelle just wants everyone to have a good time , and therefore she is incredibly boring to watch on a reality tv show .
she’s certainly the episode’s “aw , shucks” mom type , since she says things like “hoochie” in reference to sara’s exposed décolletage . she also says she wants to eat a child , in that cutesy , “gosh darn , you’re just so cute , i want to eat you” sort of way , before declaring that mattea looks like marzipan in her wedding dress ( this time , making an eating sound to indicate that she’d like to eat her ) . besides being hungry in a vaguely cannibalistic way , lori won’t shut up about how precious her history with her soon - to - be husband is , to a point where we suspect that she just went on the show to prove to herself—and everyone else—that her life and love story is special . share that with your friends , lori , not us .
for outing michelle as being ill - equipped to memorize a short dance routine , we award bride mattea with this week’s head bitch in ceremony . ( chicken wings , later ? )
i thought for sure michelle’s wedding would have placed first or second . kind of disappointed in the results . fun to watch though
michelle’s wedding was by far the best ! ! the video her husband made for her was fantastic . way to go michelle
that dress that sara had looked homemade i must agree , also i will say her dress was awlful it looked to me as if she going to club she looked so skanky i was discusted , i dont understand why sara would want to look like a whore on national television it only reflects on herself though .
the very best wedding won and i am very happy about that ! maybe sara thought her boobs would help her win , yeah right . she was too hoochie ! so glad that lori did not win : really , what’s up with the locale ?
michelle was married at ceasar’s palace in toronto . not sure of exact locale .
whoaaaaaa ladies ! put those claws away ! i hope that all you ladies on here are in high school , because that would be the only way this behaviour would somewhat be acceptable . you all sound like caddy teenage girls . grow up ! don’t you have something better to do with your lives then to hate on an innocent girl just because she had some cleavage… . like really , just because she had some cleavage showing she’s a whore now ? ! come on ! that has jealousy written all over it if you ask me ! everyone is an individual . we all have different styles , taste in clothes , and so on . we all express ourselves in different ways . who are you to judge her on her style ? ! just because you don’t agree wit it , doesn’t give u the right to bash her ! she’s not out to please you ! i think she looked hot ! and it takes a certain person to be able to pull off an outfit like that ! and she did an excellent job @ that ! you “women” should be ashamed of yourselves . really !
all of you sound like idiots . find somethin better to do with your lives !
we all have sexy bodies and we should show them off . regardless of ur shape , size , colour , whatever !
the show is over and done with . the best person one . move on !
classy women ? you are not classy at 34 or 35 dressing like your ready to whore yourself out . classy my ass .
your right we should not comment about sara , she is nothing special ; but she thinks she is . she thinks we’re all jealous because of her looks . little does she know the beauty within comes out and no matter how beautiful you are outside , your inner beauty will come out . that is what every one is seeing ; her ugly inner beauty . it really doesn’t have anything to do with what she wore .
@ snow white… . you are right . it shouldn’t have anything to do with her looks . its all about inner beauty…but i’m positive that everyone on here bitching and complaining about sara don’t even know her . its clearly hatred . no one had anything to say about her personality or what’s within . everyone is picking on her because of some breasts .
and also…u cannot get to know a person for who they really are just from a couple mins here and there @ a wedding . so don’t try and act like its all about who she is . that’s a load of shit . trying to justify your childish actions by claiming you know her . ha if you did , i’m sure you’d have nothing to say .
and mich… why you sound so angry ? ! hahhahahahahaha . you hate your life or something ? ! is that why your hating on someone because she wanted to impress her man ? ! it was all for her man . not for you , or anyone else . we should praise her for continuing to keep things exciting between her and her man , even on their wedding day .
but seriously . ppl who sit on these things criticizing ppl clearly are lacking something in their own lives , or are bored with their lives . because if you were content with your life , you wouldn’t care to judge other ppl and their decisions . you would just be focusing on yourself and happy you are .
oh and one more thing mich . they way your acting / sounding on this thing… has me convinced that you don’t have an ounce of class yourself .
classy women know when to shut up and mind their own business . instead of stooping down to the level of caddy high schoolers .
wow amanda you really sound like a “confident” & “secure” lady ! that is soo refreshing to see these days ! with all these insecure , catty , miserable little chicken - heads running around you rarely come across a confident women like you ! ; - ) ) and the rest of ya…stop obsessing over me & my gorgeous cleavage & move on with ur pathetic little lives ! ; ) & ms . amanda we need more mature , confident women like you in this world ! ; )
amanda ? ? ? are you sure you’re not sara pretending to be amanda ? she sure gave toronto life a good impression ! ! ! . and sara get over your cleavage , no one cares and you keep throwing it around .
- you sound fat , ugly . bitter , so spiteful you look the way you do - you don’t have the body to wear it - you love to hate me - stop obsessing over my beautiful cleavage and move on with you pathetic lives .
most often people think of narcissists as very confident individuals . this observation often changes with time , to viewing the individual as being arrogant ; someone who brags about their accomplishments in an exaggerated fashion . people involved with the narcissistic person often realize that the bragging or attention - seeking belies an insecurity that can never be bolstered adequately , no matter how much ego support the narcissist receives from others .
being with an individual with a narcissistic personality for any length of time often induces feelings of insecurity , or the feeling that one is subtly being put - down , competed with , somewhat devalued . this is due to the narcissist’s inability or refusal to see others as having as much value as they do . if others had as much value as the narcissist , then that would make them equal . this is unacceptable to narcissists because they have a pathological need to be seen as special , out of the ordinary , deserving of adoration . winning is a must . losing is not simply a matter of ‘win some - lose some’ ; it is a personal affront .
in relationships the narcissist appears unable or unwilling to validate or attend to others , and appears to not even notice that others have similar , ( though less intense ) needs for recognition , validation , nurturing . it has been described in the literature as the narcissistic individual feeling as if there is not enough admiration or attention to go around , so it must be grabbed up as often as can be done . also seen is the increased need by the narcissist for attention and adulation as s / he ages . the partner of the narcissist often feels that the nurturing they supply is not mutual and the partner becomes ‘used up’ by the narcissist
i thought that sara on this episode looked like a stripper or a hooker or something . my god , she looked so trashy on her day . and she really thought she was something as she was looking down at her boobs when she walked into the reception area . ewww gross

last december hmci michael wilshaw told us that secondary schools are less likely than primary to be rated good or outstanding , and that england is ‘a divided nation after age 11’ because the primary / secondary disparity is most acute in the midlands and the north .
too many secondary schools did not work effectively with partner primary schools to understand pupils’ prior learning and ensure that they built on this in ks3 . some secondary leaders simply accepted that pupils would repeat what they had already done in primary school … particularly in year 7 . this was a particular issue in mathematics and , to a lesser extent , in english .
of course , none of this is new . for decades , researchers have documented patchy arrangements for primary / secondary transfer and the phenomenon of the year 7 / 8 attainment ‘dip’ . martin hughes confirmed empirically the professional folklore about children’s primary school learning being ignored or dismissed by some y7 teachers , while maurice galton found a significant drop in pupils’ post - transfer interest in maths and science and traced it to y7 teaching in which there was too much writing and too little discussion and practical activity .
these defining features of primary schools shape a distinctive professional culture . working with young children all day , every day and across what is supposed to be a ‘broad and balanced’ curriculum encourages a holistic outlook . primary teachers still talk about the ‘whole child’ and ‘whole curriculum’ as they have done since the 1930s , and long before the invention of pshe they saw it as their responsibility to give as much attention to children’s personal and social development as to their academic progress .
the argument that that an understanding of children’s development is essential to an understanding of the y7 / 8 dip is clinched by the nfer finding that it occurs in many other countries besides england . that being so , the unique pattern of english secondary schooling can hardly be expected to shoulder all the blame . equally , the nfer finding should prompt us to reconsider the relationship between human development , the structure of schooling and the timing of the school day – a relationship which , as the few surviving middle schools will remind us , was central to the rationale for their formation .
even more fundamentally , ofsted reports only what it inspects , and the frameworks , whether old or new , ignore or trivialise aspects of both primary and secondary education that many schools – and certainly cprt – regard as desirable or even essential . to take one example , the new ofsted framework uses the phrase ‘across the curriculum’ on several occasions , but like its predecessor ‘broad and balanced’ this is little more than tokenistic , for english and mathematics are the only aspects of the curriculum that are named or about which specific inspection judgements are required . for those who believe that the quality and standards of education reside in more than literacy and numeracy ‘outcomes’ , vital though these are , ofsted’s 11 percentage point claim of primary schools’ superiority over secondary may be deemed questionable . what , i always want to know , is going on in addition to what ofsted inspects , and does it matter ? in all but the most slavishly ofsted - driven schools , a great deal , and yes it does .
notwithstanding all this , converging evidence from inspection and research certainly confirms that in the matter of primary - secondary transfer and progression we have a historic problem that has not yet been fully addressed . as well as learning from those schools – secondary as well as primary – that manage these matters effectively , and there are many of them , what can be done ?
well , academies may be contentious but the rapid growth of federations , multi - academy trusts and all - through schools opens up opportunities for the cross - phase exchange , in pursuit of a more seamless experience of schooling for every child , not just of information and ideas but also personnel . in this matter , it is significant that ascl , formally the secondary school leaders’ union , is now also open to primary leaders and has appointed a primary specialist . cprt is working with the first holder of this post , julie mcculloch , to explore and develop the primary - secondary relationship .
– but that no such attention has been devoted to education between the ages of 11 and 14 . true , labour had a ks3 strategy , but this was a pedagogical prescription rather than an educational enquiry , its focus was as narrow as that of the primary strategies it emulated and it ignored or pre - empted the questions about structures , purposes , curriculum , assessment and indeed pedagogy that the cambridge and nuffield reviews rightly sought to address .
so : what , fundamentally , should key stage 3 be about , and what do children aged 11 - 14 most need from that phase of their education ? following cpr and nuffield we need an independent 11 - 14 review ; or even – so as to include continuity , progression and pupil maturation from key stages 2 to 3 as discussed here – a review of education 10 - 14 , from blyth’s ‘midlands of childhood’ into adolescence .
in any event , there is no room whatever for complacency in the primary world about ofsted’s criticisms of ks3 provision . we should care as much about what happens to our children after primary education as during it .

william nicholson said he was devastated by the critical and commercial disappointment of nelson mandela : long walk to freedom , which starred idris elba as the south african leader .
nicholson , 66 , has been oscar - nominated twice before , for gladiator and shadowlands , and said he had been certain that the mandela biopic would be similarly successful .
i think it worked superbly . i ' m incredibly proud of this film . unfortunately it didn ' t get the kind of acclaim that i wanted . it didn ' t get oscars .
