tyro helmer michael morrissey takes moral relativism to surprising lengths in “boy wonder , ” a psychological thriller about a troubled , would - be superhero teen seeking vigilante vengeance for his mother’s murder . morrissey displays a flair for moody atmospherics as his protagonist wanders gotham’s streets and subways at night , but the film relies too heavily on cryptic flashbacks [ … ]
since we last spoke with waititi , 36 , his second feature film , boy , has become the single highest - grossing kiwi movie ever , eclipsing once were warriors and the world ' s fastest indian . it took $ 9 . 3million at the local box office . something about his funny , dreamy tale of an east coast maori boy captured the national mood .
boy wonder , both written and directed by michael morrissey , is the story of a boy who witnesses tragic events that will plague his thoughts for the rest of his life . at an extremely impressionable age , sean witnesses his mother ' s murder at the hands of a car - jacker . flash forward to the future , where seventeen year old sean appears to be doing well , getting good grades , but still seems to be distant , of which his father takes notice . unbeknownst to sean ' s father however , the boy is far beyond saving .
issues with sexism and representation have been a part of wonder woman since the character’s debut in 1941’s “all star comics” # 8 . though wonder woman creator william moulton marston certainly had , to put it generously , a complicated relationship with feminism , he’s been quoted as saying , “frankly , wonder woman is psychological propaganda for the new type of woman who , i believe , should rule the world . ”
using a red one camera , the director achieves a hard - edged , gritty ambience in the blue - collar brooklyn neighborhoods where he and his producing partner john scacia , a former nypd detective , grew up . this greatly enhances the underlining veracity of the film’s portrait not only of this urban jungle but also of a young wonder boy falling apart mentally from its stresses and villainy .
wonder boy is not a message film . it is a film that asks questions , or rather , my own personal question – how necessary is self - acceptance in forming our own identiy ? how are we expected to communicate with each other , when we live in a world that is made up of individuals who are so culturally different ? storytelling is about exploring other lives and asking these questions . i don’t always find the answers , but there is a joy in simply asking them .

based on her comments at the press event , the primary inspiration for jenkins in making “wonder woman” appears to be one of pop culture’s most prominent masculine archetypes : superman , specifically his depiction in the 1978 film starring christopher reeve and directed by richard donner .
given the popularity of non - supernatural diy avengers in the mode of matthew vaughn’s “kick - ass , ” there may be a market for this problematic , self - appointed superhero , though “boy wonder” lacks the requisite snarky satiric note . morrissey’s title refers ironically to batman’s squeaky - clean juvie sidekick , but the film itself tilts more pointedly toward batman angst in the christopher nolan mold , minus the thrill - ride spectacle .
no , boy wonder did not need and did not get the help of the cop after she declined to turn him in for killing his father . his own knowledge of chemistry was sufficient . it ' s unlikely that prisons make any special subtle tests of every every envelope that comes to them through the mails .

lee said :
the two themes that affected me the most ( while filming this movie ) was watching my desire to be heard ( as a young boy ) .
in his feature debut , boy wonder , writer - director michael morrissey has made a smart film on a difficult subject , vigilantism . morrissey claims to be a life - long fan of comics and graphic novels , both of which frequently celebrate the vigilante as a super hero . but morrissey’s point of view is much more nuanced and ambivalent about his avenging protagonist . the film is also an incisive psychological portrait of a young man reaching his breaking point with no one to turn to and , seemingly , no other recourse than to move outside the law .
a traumatized boy grows into a shy , determined teenager who patrols the mean streets of new york city , helping those in need and dishing out severe punishment to remorseless thugs .
ascent experience mount fuji — through a selection of 4 , 000 photographs snapped over 150 years . the dutch artist fiona tan has built this experimental film out of those stills . screenings at film forum in new york will be free .
i must admit : i ' m a huge fan of thrillers the only problem is i ' m often disappointed by the weak story plots and cliché endings that plague most of the new suspense films that are being dished out by hollywood fools lately . that being said , i didn ' t expect much when i went to see boy wonder at the thrill spy fest in d . c . michael morrissey ' s boy wonder sets itself apart from the senseless crap out there today . it keeps you guessing the whole way through , and just when you think you figured out the ending , you ' re proved wrong . the film is a classic man vs . man revenge plot , with enough twists and turns to keep you interested . for an indie film , i was pretty surprised by the writing and acting . this director is definitely going places . the lead guy who played caleb was awesome too . he definitely has that troubled method actor type quality to him . expect to see him around in the future . not sure whether or not this is going straight to dvd or if it will stay in the festival circuit for awhile , but if you have the opportunity to see boy wonder , you won ' t be disappointed .
wonder woman after an appearance in “batman v superman : dawn of justice , ” in 2016 , that was effectively a trailer within a film , wonder woman ( gal gadot ) gets a long - teased movie of her own . patty jenkins ( “monster” ) directs this origin story , which finds the superheroine leaving her life as an amazon princess to fight in world war i . chris pine plays the pilot who rouses her to action .
julia roberts , jacob tremblay , and owen wilson talk about how staring can make someone feel uncomfortable — something auggie in wonder has to deal with every day .
movies like kick - ass and defendor should be embarrassed that other movies like boy wonder exist . though the movie hews closer to classic vigilante movies like death wish and even the crow , shades of superhero dna are inherent throughout the movie ; it’s about a boy taking matters into his own hands when justice fails to locate the criminals responsible for the death of his mother . and the movie tells its story in a way that never sensationalizes what the boy does when he prowls the streets at night , hidden from sight in his black hooded sweatshirt . while kick - ass lends more towards kids beating the shit out of criminals , all the while getting the shit beat out of themselves , there’s never real…
the lack of major studio films from women directors has been well - publicized , and it’s especially noticeable in the superhero genre , with the one exception before “wonder woman” being 2008’s “punisher : war zone , ” directed by lexi alexander . jenkins was originally slated to direct marvel studios’ second “thor” film , and later was reported to have been fired by the film , which was eventually directed by alan taylor .

there are an awful lot of terrorized women in “boy wonder” — so many , in fact , that the film feels like a constant assault . their unlikely champion is sean ( caleb steinmeyer ) , a skulking 17 - year - old vigilante driven by violent childhood memories of his mother’s death at the hands of a carjacker . but sean is obsessed with more than just finding his mother’s killer : he’s also on a mission to finish off every misogynist in the five boroughs .

to jenkins , though , all budgets are created equal .
my last two tv pilots — exposed and betrayal — were over $ 10 million each ,
she says .
but you only shoot for eight or 10 days , so it ' s actually the same budget per day as what i was working on with wonder woman . obviously , wonder woman is a bigger budget expanded throughout , but i feel like every experience i ' ve had has been exactly the same from my short film to wonder woman , which is , you have 20 percent too little money for what you ' re trying to do .

wonder has been trumpeted as
a book that has made grown men weep
and i admit it put me a little on my guard before reading this debut novel .
another vigilante movie , yet not . nice dark twist to this one . this film combines humor , drama , mystery , emotion , a little action , and then throws in an unconventional ending to top things off . really good independent film . . .
asians on film – honorable mention – best short drama , best director . winner – best supporting actress ( sofia shen ) .
here ' s another movie about a young vigilante hero , like
super
or
kick - ass ,
but darker , more brooding and without the easy payoffs .
boy wonder
takes itself more seriously and plays more like a psychological thriller about a young man driven to extremes . any connection between the title and batman ' s sidekick is purely ironic .
this is not a five star film . it has some poor acting and hits too many familiar genre tropes to be truly original .
it is , in part , gadot’s innate unflappability that helped wonder woman not just vastly outperform anyone’s wildest expectations , but also almost singlehandedly save the floundering dc comics universe . to date , the movie has earned more than $ 400 million domestically and close to $ 800 million worldwide . it is currently the highest - grossing live - action film ever directed by a woman . in other words , the film has kicked ass , wonder woman - style . “it just shows that the world was ready for a female - driven action movie , ” says gadot . or even if it wasn’t then , she’s made sure that it is now .
either way you approach the film , it boasts a great story , and it will leave you pondering its events for days to come . the film has multiple interpretations , and it is easily one of the most arguable ( i mean that in the best of ways ) films i have seen in a while , and i can only recommend you view it and determine your own version of the film yourself .
every woman , every man , everyone should be a feminist . because whoever is not a feminist is a sexist ,
says gal gadot , star of ' wonder woman . '
it was not just difficult for lee to delve into his past . the sequence in which the film was shot also became a challenge .
waititi , actor , joker , sometime wellingtonian and , of course , brilliantly successful film - maker isn ' t easy to pin down .
he will co - direct the film with daniel yam , who has helmed short films such as gift ( 2013 ) and promise ( 2014 ) , and co - write the script with ong kuo sin , who wrote and directed the 2013 film judgement day , starring mark lee .
got the inspiration to write the book after taking her son out for ice cream , where they saw a child with treacher collins syndrome . her son cried at the sight of this boy . this story is used in a scene from the film , where jack will ' s mother is reminding him why it ' s important to make auggie feel welcome .
score : a film music documentary going behind the scenes of how film scores are composed , this portrait of the craft features some of the most familiar “music by” credits in the business , including hans zimmer , john williams , danny elfman , quincy jones , rachel portman and thomas newman .
next are warriors : for his next kiwi film , taika waititi has the maori battalion in his sights - only it might be too big .
cast in the film version of “les miserables” in 2011 , he says co - star jackman diminished any butterflies he had about doing the movie .
a young brooklyn boy witnesses the brutal murder of his mother and grows up obsessed with finding her killer . thus begins his life as a quiet , straight - a student by day and a self - appointed hero at night . but what is a real hero ? and who decides what is right or wrong ? as the boundaries blur , sean ' s dual life wears on his psyche and his two worlds careen dangerously close to colliding . like a graphic novel you can ' t put down , boy wonder challenges morality , distorting perceptions of what is right and what is justified , as it races to its shocking conclusion .
wonder woman herself is about to bless my unborn child . “can i ? ” she asks , before spreading her long fingers around my pregnant belly . her hands feel warm and maternal . she holds my gaze , unwavering . “girl or boy ? ” she asks . “girl , ” i tell her . her smile widens . “being a woman is a strength , ” she says . “in so many ways . ”
dick lee says that wonder boys will not shy away from depicting the shenanigans that he and schoolmates at st . joseph ' s institution got up to in the early 1970s , including taking drugs .
cast : dick lee ( middle ) with the cast of wonder boys ( from left ) , richard herrera , zachary ibrahim , constance song , michelle wong , benjamin kheng , and julie tan .
i kinda expected robin the boy wonder the movie . i got this instead and it was awesome . imagine if batman was a teen , instead of watching both his parents die it was his mother , he wasn ' t rich , instead of a cowl he wore a hoodie , jim gordon was a woman , harvey bullock was harvey bullock , and instead of having a
no kill rule
, he ' d kill people all the time . what do you get ? you get one of the most dark , genuinely honest , brutal , fascinating , complex , thrilling , pulse pounding , and effective superhero films ever made . well , it ' s less of a
superhero
film and more of a very unique vengeance film . it ' s like batman mixed with dexter . if that ' s appealing to you , this is a film for you . does it have problems ? probably , but i couldn ' t find any . nothing stopped me from enjoying such a superb film .
the film has played second and third tier festivals for over a year and is now getting a small release that will probably not get on too many cineastes’ radars . if nothing else though , the film heralds new talents behind and in front of the camera and could well develop a cult following .
the show is the inbetweeners , a transplant from britain where the original series was such a huge success that it ' s spawned a hit film .
credit patty for not turning [ wonder woman ] into a ballbuster ,
says gadot , a onetime israel defense forces soldier turned model turned actress ( before wonder woman , she co - starred in four of the fast and furious films ) .
wonder woman can be very charming and warm and have so much compassion and love for the world . she can be soft and naive . at the same time , she just happens to be this demigoddess who can beat the shit out of you and can be a super badass and smart and confident . ultimately , she ' s very relatable .
for another , it ' s helped him focus on his writing . and waititi is a writer , a creator . he cooked up boy and his first feature eagle vs shark , and his two breakout short films from scratch .
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…
in the footage shown to press , wonder woman arrives on the shores of world war i - era london , having spent all of her life up to that point in themyscira — a paradise island inhabited by only women . immediately , onlookers are shocked by her relatively revealing battle costume . jenkins said that wonder woman is “completely confused” by the sexism she encounters in “man’s world , ” because she has no context for it .
mm . this seemed pretty disjointed and without depth . the boy seemed to be a self appointed vigilante on bullies to seek revenge and let off steam and anger from his mothers brutal murder when he was a child . it doesn ' t really seem like the boy is getting anywhere or developes along with the film , apart from getting stronger and kicking more bully ass . there are also some scenes in this that just don ' t seem to make sense or have any reason to be there . i don ' t know , seemed a little pointless and not very memorable to me , but maybe i missed something . i dunno .
wonder boy is about a ten - year old chinese boy’s attempt to define himself in a world he is still trying to make sense of . as a child , we love and reject our family , we hate them and we need them . we try to distinguish ourselves from them but deep down we inherit the most quintessential part of them – heritage . much like the australia in my memory , clancy is growing up in a country that is tolerant and accepting of cultural diversity , he can go to chinese schools on saturdays and at attend regular primary school during the week . however , he is trapped in a curious dichotomy where he is not chinese enough , but not quite australian enough .
camera obscura suffering from post - traumatic stress disorder , a war photographer begins to see real premonitions of deaths in his pictures . it’s a horror film , naturally .
tyro helmer michael morrissey takes moral relativism to surprising lengths in “boy wonder , ” a psychological thriller about a troubled , would - be superhero teen seeking vigilante vengeance for his mother’s murder . morrissey displays a flair for moody atmospherics as his protagonist wanders gotham’s streets and subways at night , but the film relies too heavily on cryptic flashbacks and deliberate gaps in the narrative to create suspense , revealing rather than fleshing out connective tissue . the pic bows in limited release oct . 21 , just in time for halloween , which , with strong word of mouth on the fantastic / horror / comic - con circuit , may prolong its limited run .

based on the beloved best - selling novel , wonder follows the inspiring story of the pullman family , whose youngest child , auggie , is a boy born with facial differences . when auggie enters mainstream elementary school for the first time , his extraordinary journey unites his family , his school , and his community , and proves that you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out . oscar® winner * julia roberts , owen wilson , and jacob tremblay star in this heartwarming and uplifting film . * 2000 , actress in a leading role , erin brockovich . oscar® is the registered trademark and service mark of the academy of motion picture arts and sciences .
the rhode island international film festival , new england’s largest and only oscar - qualifying film fest , will open with a program of shorts and the world premiere of a documentary about the last remnants of gilded age newport aristocracy , david bettencourt’s and g . wayne miller’s “behind the hedgerow : eileen slocum and the meaning of newport society . ” the film is one of thirteen documentary world premieres at the festival , which runs aug . 10 - 15 . based in providence , barrington and newport , r . i . , the festival will also feature the world premieres of six narrative features , including joshua lim’s gay seminary drama “the seminarian” and tom provost’s throwback horror film “the presence . ”
cinematographer chris lavasseur has used these seminal discussions , screenings , the exchange of ideas over photographs , and even comic books with his directors as guides for his initial camera , lighting and filtration tests . for boy wonder , director michael morrissey even showed him test footage he had shot himself in a manner that he wanted lavasseur to take a little further in his own tests for the movie . language can be such a flawed tool for communication without visual aids to illustrate what is being discussed .
i can ' t take on the history of 50 percent of the population just because i ' m a woman ,
says jenkins , bristling when asked about the heavy responsibility of directing wonder woman , the most expensive film ever shot by a person with two xx chromosomes ( its $ 150 million budget surpasses kathryn bigelow ' s $ 100 million k - 19 : the widowmaker ) .
i ' m just trying to make the greatest version of wonder woman that i can for the people who love the character as much as i do and hope that the movie lives up to all the pressure that ' s on it .

everything , everything housebound for life because of a compromised immune system , an 18 - year - old ( amandla stenberg ) falls for the boy ( nick robinson ) who moves in next door in this adaptation of nicola yoon’s best - selling young - adult novel .
that ' s the challenge — how to tell a story of a woman and make it universal ,
says gal gadot , the 32 - year - old israeli actress who stars as the amazonian princess with bullet - deflecting bracelets .
we are all used to having male protagonists in movies [ directed by men ] . but the way patty has captured the wonder woman character , she is very relatable to everyone . boy , girl , man , woman — everyone can relate to her .
the boy’s dad , terry ( bill sage ) , a drunk and wife - abuser , has cleaned up his act since his wife’s death . yet you sense the boy has pretty much reared himself . his nose is so buried in books he has little social life . instead he obsesses with finding his mother’s killer — hanging out at the local police precinct to pore over thousands of perp photos in his search for that face he will always remember — and with physical training in boxing and fighting toward the day he does locate her killer .
in other words , the big question mark hanging over wonder woman isn ' t whether a female director can make a successful superhero event movie ; it ' s whether a female superhero can upend that long - standing formula and do something that the male ones haven ' t accomplished : expand the female base . and at this point , there ' s no reason to suspect wonder woman can ' t . after all , not all female superhero movies have to go the way of such bombs as catwoman ( or elektra or aeon flux ) , just as not all male superhero movies go the way of green lantern . and if it all goes according to plan , jenkins is more than ready to return to the character for a contemporary - set wonder woman sequel ( she and gadot are contractually committed to a second film ) . not that jenkins wants to limit herself just to tentpoles . she ' s also hoping to squeeze in a limited tv series based on something her husband wrote — maybe starring chris pine , who plays lyle waggoner ' s old role , steve trevor , in wonder woman — before returning ( fingers crossed ) to paradise island for another go .
i loved the story line here , and i think a lot of us probably fantasize about doing what sean ( caleb steinmeyer ) does in this film . it ' s a tale of vigilante justice that really works for the most part . my big issue with the film which almost took me out of it was the acting . i felt caleb steinmeyer was good , but the rest of the cast was just mediocre to bad in my opinion . overall though the good in this film outweighed the bad for me and i had a good time with it .
peck has hardly had time to celebrate the film’s critical reception , however . since paz de la jolla , he’s moved up to soloist and taken over as resident choreographer for city ballet .
the 14th edition of the festival will showcase more than 200 films from 53 countries , including the world premieres of documentaries “kinshasa symphony” by claus wischmann and martin baer ( germany / congo ) , jennifer stoddart’s “one thousand pictures : rfk’s last journey” ( u . s . / united kingdom ) and victoria mills’ globe - hopping “hidden battles , ” about the effects of killing on returning veterans . other world premieres include colin mcivor’s “cup cake , ” alexander holt’s “forget me not , ” michael morrissey’s “boy wonder” and anthony ambrosino’s “sleather . ”
sean then indulges himself in some grim enforcement of justice , becoming a vigilante , and training in a local seedy gym for hours on end . when i first viewed the film , i missed the main distinction that the film attempts to make . as we see sean descend more and more into darkness , his sense of ' justice ' seems to loosen itself more and more .

it ' s the tall poppy part of being a new zealand film - maker , he says . you learn never to expect a great local reception . so , yes , a surprise .
yet “wonder woman” director patty jenkins admitted she’s not sure how the current environment — a time of massive demonstrations like january’s women’s march and general unease about the future of women’s rights — will affect reception of the film , the first live - action feature starring a character widely known as a feminist icon . in a press event in london attended by cbr last week , jenkins said that until recently , she’s felt mostly sheltered from the reality of gender inequality .
“of course , it’s a bummer that we’re going to be a ‘women’s film , ’ made by a woman , with a woman , but on the other hand , it’s important to talk about , because i think a lot of times , those movies haven’t been , ” jenkins said . “it’s important to acknowledge , but yet in making the film , it’s important to completely tune out . ”
michaud / lord and morrissey / lavasseur took their tests all the way through di to 35mm film and projected them to see what would get them the look they wanted . but each film represents a slightly different way of working with di . based on his tests michaud decided that he didn’t want to shoot video and then replicate the roughness of film in di . he says , “16 mm [ blown up to 35mm ] is much more aggressive than any 35mm or look you could give to 35mm or to video in post . i really wanted the native grainy look . you know , battle of algiers is a fiction film but you look at it and you think , ‘wow , this is like the real deal . ’ i wanted to have as much as possible ‘the real deal . ’”
while the film socks home a third - act punch with considerable flair , it does so by shrinking brooklyn to postage - stamp size where a cold - case murder can get swiftly solved since everyone is near at hand and implausible coincidences and twists abound . morrissey also indulges in occasional quirky editing , quick , abrupt cuts that cause a viewer to wonder about the reality of certain scenes — are they taking place for real or are they taking place in sean’s mind ?
when filming movies , you never film them in sequence . so to go in and out of scenes of my life in a jumbled - up manner was like an emotional roller coaster for me .

the wound a factory worker from queenstown , south africa , takes a boy from johannesburg under his wing as part of a xhosa initiation ritual . when the movie showed at this year’s new directors / new films festival , a . o . scott called it “affecting and suspenseful even as it hits a few predictable beats . ”
landing a lead in a tent - pole franchise would have been a coup for any young actor , of course . “when you’re a beginner , you get excited about having a job , ” says gadot . “that’s where i was . ” but wonder woman wasn’t just any leading role . it was a role that feminists had long been jones - ing for – as every major male superhero got trotted out in big - screen prequels and sequels galore – and one with a history that extended far beyond the mere symbolism of a female superhero . after being cast , gadot turned to the warner bros . archives to read the original comics , and she soon learned that wonder woman was the brainchild of william marston , a psychologist who not only helped invent the lie detector and lived in a polyamorous household with his wife ( whom he’d met in middle school ) , his girlfriend ( who’d been his student ) and their four children ( two per woman ) , but who also believed that women were not only equal to men , but probably superior . “frankly , wonder woman is psychological propaganda for the new type of woman who should , i believe , rule the world , ” he is noted as saying in jill lepore’s the secret history of wonder woman . and as lepore points out , “in the first story , wonder woman comes to the united states to fight for women’s rights , because this is the last bastion of possibility of equal rights for women . ”

hiring jenkins , 45 — who had come close to directing a superhero movie before , the 2013 thor sequel , but ended up backing out — was obviously a big gamble for warner bros . , a studio that has been having creative if not necessarily financial issues with its superhero franchise films ever since the dark knight trilogy . but her taking the helm of wonder woman is also a big deal for pretty much every female director in hollywood with tentpole ambitions . if wonder woman is a hit , then doors that have been kept shut for decades could potentially swing open ( they are already , at least a crack , with gina prince - bythewood just getting hired to direct sony ' s spider - man spinoff silver & black ) . if , on the other hand , wonder woman turns out to be another catwoman , the superhero universe could remain a boys club for eons to come .

dawson city : frozen time in the silent era , the gold rush town of dawson city in the yukon was the last stop on the film - shipping circuit . the creative solutions used to dispose of flammable nitrate stock resulted in the inadvertent preservation of 500 films — forgotten reels were excavated in the 1970s . bill morrison ( the found - footage collage “decasia” ) uses those clips to tell a story that interweaves film history and a sociological history of dawson .

lee ' s father ( gerald chew ) and mother ( constance song ) try to talk him out of his obsession , while his pals and singing partners prefer that he stick to radio hits instead of self - penned songs . along the way , there are run - ins with bullies and authority figures trying to squash the creativity out of the boy .
his victims that once were pimps and drug dealers are now more innocent . he viciously beats up a homeless man on a bus , who , while being rather racist and obnoxious was certainly undeserving of the brutal beating he saw at sean ' s hands . in perhaps one of the film ' s most disturbing scenes , sean takes out his anger by pummeling a boy at a party who simply back - talked to his girlfriend . on my first viewing , this scene and the ensuing ending left me puzzled , but i was able to understand it when i was luckily able to see it again .
lee might be the centre of the film , but the supporting characters have to be deeper than this . the collapsing of several real people into a single character has also led to schizophrenia ; bullies turn into best friends overnight , before they flip again .

let me start this review with a warning : after watching come morning , it’s likely that you’ll never want to walk in the woods alone again . this film so vividly destroyed any notion i’ve ever had of a stroll through the forest being a peaceful , enjoyable experience that i want to hate it , but i simply can’t . the film is too memorable and too excellent for me to have any feelings of dislike toward it , despite the fact i’ll never again be able to enjoy nature without looking over my shoulder again .
to say come morning is a film by derrick sims is probably one of the few times that the “film by” tag actually works . sims did just about everything on his dark drama including writing , directing , shooting , editing , and producing . it seemed like the only thing he didn’t do was star in the film . despite what sounds like too much work for one man to do , sims definitely didn’t spread himself too thin , as the film combined a well - crafted story with stunningly beautiful cinematography for an excellent result .

in “come early morning , ” ashley judd returns to the southern working - class milieu of her first screen triumph , “ruby in paradise , ” to deliver her most natural screen performance since that film pushed her toward stardom in 1993 . the career lesson it offers to an actor might be summed up in five words : stick to what you know . in the case of ms . judd , who is no meryl streep , you can take the girl out of the trailer park , but you can’t take the trailer park out of the girl , so to speak .

nelson algren’s never come morning is rooted in chicago , particularly in its polish slums , and concerns the fate of bruno ( lefty ) bicek , a seventeen - year - old with ambitions of becoming either a professional baseball player or a professional boxer . the novel begins , however , with a boxing match which is lost by casey benkowski , who , as a slightly older version of bruno , foreshadows bruno’s “loss” after a boxing victory at the end of the novel . through the chapter headings in book 1 of the novel , “the trouble with casey” is tied directly to “the trouble with bicek , ” and the reader learns the fate of ambitious young men .

morning joe
came to a close about 9 a . m . , trump insulted brzezinski and her co - host joe scarborough , calling them
low i . q . crazy mika
and
psycho joe ,
adding that he had at one point seen brzezinski
bleeding badly from a face - lift .
don’t let the nice photo to the left fool you . from what i know of him , richard is a nice guy , but his audition for charlie was truly frightening . this is interesting , because when i first wrote the role of charlie , i didn’t see him quite that way . i’d seen other good auditions , some being exactly what i thought charlie should be . when i saw richard’s , though , i had to reconsider the role . his look was perfect , and the approach he took was even better than what i’d written . after seeing a few more takes of him , i knew that this needed to be the charlie that lived in the world of “come morning . ” now , when you hear jack in the film mention charlie being crazy , you’ll surely believe him !
this morning isn’t the only tv show she presents with her husband , as recent years have seen her host hilarious channel 5 show eamonn & ruth : how the other half lives , where the couple travel the world gawping at the outlandish possessions and houses of the super wealthy . they also hosted itv game show gift wrapped together in 2014 , although sadly it only lasted one series .
. . . i once received an unexpected lesson from a spider . it happened far away on a rainy morning in the west . i had come up a long gulch looking for fossils , and there , just at eye level , lurked a huge yellow - and - black orb spider , whose web was moored to the tall spears of buffalo grass at the edge of the arroyo . it was her universe , and her senses did not extend beyond the lines and spokes of the great wheel she inhabited . her extended claws could feel every vibration throughout that delicate structure . she knew the tug of wind , the fall of a raindrop , the flutter of a trapped moth ' s wing . down one spoke of the web ran a stout ribbon of gossamer on which she could hurry out to investigate her prey .
katy isd will be opening shelters on the south and north side of the district on monday , august 28 to serve families and individuals impacted by tropical storm harvey . morton ranch high school ( mrhs ) and cinco ranch high school ( crhs ) will open at 7 : 30 a . m . tomorrow morning - offering shelter , and serving breakfast , lunch and dinner to those in need .
despite the furor around his tweets on thursday , trump did get some support outside of the white house . fox news primetime host and frequent trump defender sean hannity tweeted various links to “morning joe” - related coverage . “maybe liberal joe should stop calling the @ potus a schmuck , a liar , a thug and mentally unhinged . were they kissing @ potus ass at xmas ? yes , ” he tweeted .
the judges’ verdict : “100 % better this week , ” according to shirley ballas , who also noted that ruth managed to remember the choreography “in the most part” . bruno tonioli said he had no idea she was “such a good flapper” and that she had a “great improvement” from last week . craig criticised ruth’s energy and said that her performance was “limp , lame and lacklustre” , while darcey urged ruth to come back even stronger in week three .
“look , i don’t think that the president’s ever been someone who gets attacked and doesn’t push back , ” sanders told fox news on thursday morning . “there have been an outrageous number of personal attacks , not just to him but to frankly everyone around him . … this is a president who fights fire with fire and certainly will not be allowed to be bullied by liberal media or liberal elites in hollywood or anywhere else . ”
off hours lucy gets drunk at the forge , a local bar where she hooks up for one - night stands with men she contemptuously abandons the following morning to go home to the cottage she shares with her more demure roommate , kim ( laura prepon ) . the only indications that lucy’s heart hasn’t totally curdled are her rescuing of a stray puppy , her fondness for vintage country music and the respect her boss ( stacy keach ) has for her .
hello . i want to open this thread again to ask a question . i ' ve seen , for example ,
come monday

when monday comes .
i ' ve seen in ' mcgraw - hill dictionary of american idioms and phrasal verbs ' it ' s considered a rural expression and in the ' oxford dictionary ' it ' s tagged as a old - fahioned expression . do you agree with this ? or do you think is quite often used ? thanks mates !
beginning sunday , august 27 , 2017 in the city of league city , a curfew will be in effect from 10pm to 6am . saturday night and early sunday morning , emergency personnel were involved in an extremely high volume of night time , vehicular water rescues . with more rain in the forecast , city leaders are hoping to avoid the same type scenario and want to minimize high water related risks for our citizens . the curfew will remain in effect until further notice .
or so became apparent tuesday morning when president trump and his wife left the white house to fly to texas for a briefing on the devastation caused by hurricane harvey , and mrs . trump appeared on the lawn in black pegged trousers , black shades , an olive green bomber jacket — and her stilettos , now a trademark . very much the same kind of shoes , in other words , she has been wearing since long before she joined her husband on the campaign trail .
that they also are part of the identity the first lady brought to washington — that her comfort level and ability to walk in exactly the kind of shoes that cause other women , wearing more solid shoes , to wince and crunch their toes in imaginary pain was part of her narrative and image from the start — does not obviate the fact that they have also come to represent her remove , for both good and ill . women in the capital are generally more associated with sensible pumps than teetering patent leather numbers .
barbara and i are in maine , but our hearts are in houston . we are praying for all of our fellow houstonians and texans affected by harvey , and truly inspired by the flotilla of volunteers - - points of light all - - who are answering the call to help their neighbors . we salute them , the first responders , and the local elected officials for their grit and determination in the face of this extraordinary storm . this we know : houston , and texas , will come together and rebuild .
the shocking tweet is a new low in the ongoing feud between trump and the two msnbc anchors , who were often friendly with the republican presidential candidate during the campaign before their show grew increasingly critical of his policies . even as the relationship soured , brzezinski and scarborough told vanity fair that trump had offered to marry them . trump has claimed that he has stopped watching morning joe , though he frequently begins ranting on twitter while the show is on , apparently in response to whatever topic brzezinski and scarborough are discussing .
the struts also show their skill in merging high - drama storytelling and pop - perfect melody on everybody wants , with ‘black swan’ spinning a darkly charged tale of warring families and star - crossed lovers . “i’d thought that ‘black swan’ would make a good title , so luke and i started writing it together one night in his room , ” recalls slack . “we finished the melodies , and the next morning he’d come up with this whole tragic love story to put into the lyrics . ” and on ‘where did she go’ , the struts close out everybody wants with an infectiously stomping epic that first came to life when spiller was just 15 . “my parents had just moved to this horrible seaside town , which wasn’t a great place to be if you’ve got long hair or you’re just an individual in any way” , he says . “one night i was walking home quite drunk and started singing to myself , as you do , and this melody eventually came to me . i remember thinking , ‘what kind of melody could you get a whole football stadium full of people to sing along to ? ’ , and then kept going from that . ”
sims : as far as directing , because i directed short films when i was in college , then i didn’t direct anything for four or five years before i did this , i don’t think i’ve ever worked with a child actor . i worked on a set with a child right before come morning , but he was like 14 . working with an 11 - year - old , ( wahlestedt ) had just turned 11 when we started shooting , was very difficult . first off it was difficult to find an actor who could carry the film . it was down to two kids , one of them was actually a local kid and he looked like he was a grandchild of ( davis ) and he was that boy . just this southern boy who was literally me growing up , but he couldn’t act . whenever put the camera in front of him he acted , he couldn’t just be himself , and honestly for three hours i sat with him on skype and tried to get a performance out of him because i wanted him for that role so bad . he just couldn’t do it . no matter how much i wanted it i just had to go with this other kid .
i had a very specific idea about who cal was . jeffrey came in and auditioned and i thought , “that’s cal . ” he had a confidence that seemed to come as a result of having been there , a certain maturity and patience and an ability to roll with whatever was happening . cal’s not judgmental , he simply responds to however lucy presents herself – he acts as a mirror . he sleeps with her when she’s drunk but he’s also there when she’s looking for something more intimate . jeffery was able to pull this off in a very real way while at the same time honestly portraying cal’s own complexities and boundaries .
bruno bicek and steffi r have dreams beyond the reality of their chicago city existence and the nightmarish control of the barber , bonifacy konstantine . bruno bicek is a boxing contender and steffi r is the girlfriend he let be gang - raped . the barber knows this and that bruno bicek has murdered one of the gang . the barber has steffi r in his grasp and has no intention of letting her go . bruno bicek is sure of his chances and intends taking her from him . but the barber holds all the cards and , for bruno bicek and steffi r , there will be no bright morning .
the judges’ verdict : ruth and anton had an absolutely unforgettable end to their dance routine when the , ah - hem , climax to their performance saw ruth falling on top of anton and ending up as a heap on the floor ! after everyone had stopped laughing , bruno managed to shout : “you look like manuel off fawlty towers on spanish night ! ” and he couldn’t but add “what more do you want on strictly come dancing ? ! ” craig pointed out that the film from which the song was lifted was victor victoria which is “essentially a drag act…essentially what we got tonight i’m afraid ! ” craig also noted that he thought anton was smart going down the “entertainment route” for their performance because at least then the people at home would vote for them . and they did , as they survived landing in the bottom two !
what do we notice in the previous passage ? first , eiseley tells us that the orb spider taught him a lesson , thus inviting us to consider what that lesson might be . but we ' ll let that larger question go for now and focus on particulars—we ' re working inductively . in eiseley ' s next sentence , we find that this encounter
happened far away on a rainy morning in the west .
this opening locates us in another time , another place , and has echoes of the traditional fairy tale opening :
once upon a time . . .
. what does this mean ? why would eiseley want to remind us of tales and myth ? we don ' t know yet , but it ' s curious . we make a note of it .
throughout everybody wants , the struts offer their own undeniable twist on sweetly sleazy glam - rock , delivering huge hooks and making brilliant use of spiller’s otherworldly vocal range . even the album’s breakup songs come on full throttle , with ‘mary go round’ backing its dreamy acoustic balladry with heavy drums , blistering guitar work , and fantastically glam - minded lyrics ( “i can’t even pour myself a glass of wine / because every glass is stained with your lipstick shine” ) . also evidence of the struts’ romantic sensibilities , the sweeping , heart - on - sleeve intensity of ‘a call away’ offers a stirring testament to love against the odds . “it’s about when i’d just moved to america and had a girlfriend back home , and everyone was asking how i was going to make it work , ” explains slack . “the song’s saying that we’ll make it work no matter what , no matter how many miles apart we are . ”
the process of writing an essay usually begins with the close reading of a text . of course , the writer ' s personal experience may occasionally come into the essay , and all essays depend on the writer ' s own observations and knowledge . but most essays , especially academic essays , begin with a close reading of some kind of text—a painting , a movie , an event—and usually with that of a written text . when you close read , you observe facts and details about the text . you may focus on a particular passage , or on the text as a whole . your aim may be to notice all striking features of the text , including rhetorical features , structural elements , cultural references ; or , your aim may be to notice only selected features of the text—for instance , oppositions and correspondences , or particular historical references . either way , making these observations constitutes the first step in the process of close reading .

i recently caught a screening of the film at the oxford film festival and thought it was one of the best independent films i’ve seen in a long time ( you can see why in my review ) . after the screening i was able to catch up with sims for an interview . he told me about the inspiration for the film , the decision to shoot it himself , and a lot more .
sims : well first of all , i don’t really desire to be a director . i enjoy writing a lot , but i’m a cinematographer . i’m a director of photography . i light and shoot and edit films . that’s my passion . i love photography and cinematography . that’s my first love . but , i love to tell stories too . it’s kind of a family thing . my grandpa , who the character in the film is based off of , he just tells stories all the time . i guess a lot of that rubbed off on me . so i just love telling stories .
i was on my way to work one day and an idea just popped into my head of me and my grandpa sitting in a deer house . actually the deer house that they’re sitting in ( in the film ) is the actual deer house that we hunted in . the area it original sat in was destroyed by a storm a couple years back , so we found another place that looked almost exactly like it . it was about ten miles away . so we disassembled the entire house piece by piece and reassembled it on this hill .
i have all these fond memories of me and him hunting , even though i’m not a hunter by any means anymore . i don’t really know why it popped into my mind that they shoot a deer and it turns out to not be a deer but actually their neighbor who they have a bad history with .
immediately i called my producer and said , ‘hey , i’ve got an idea ! ’ i literally told him three sentences and he said , ‘oh , you should write that down . that sounds pretty good . ’ so i wrote it down and two months later i had a script . a year later we started raising money for it . it took two years from the time i wrote it until the time it was finished and premiered . we wrapped shooting on october 21 , 2011 , and the movie premiered october 21 , 2012 at the austin film festival , so that was cool .
wgtc : you said you’re a cinematographer first . the film’s beautifully shot , so that showed , but were there any difficulties with directing and shooting the film yourself ?
sims : as soon as i finished the film i said i would never do that again , but that’s not true , because i’m going to do it this year . i’ve got a new script that i want to shoot because i think it’ll be artistically fulfilling to shoot it and i also want to direct it .
