red riding hood is a 2011 canadian romance horror film directed by catherine hardwicke , produced by leonardo dicaprio and starring amanda seyfried as the title role , from a screenplay by david leslie johnson .

the film is very loosely based on the folk tale little red riding hood collected by both charles perrault under the name le petit chaperon rouge ( little red riding hood ) and several decades later by the brothers grimm as rotkäppchen ( little red cap ) .

despite negative reviews , the movie was commercially successful grossing almost $ 90 millions worldwide .

which opens this friday and stars amanda seyfried and gary oldman , harper design has published a reinterpretation of the grimm brothers ' fable , illustrated by swedish artist daniel egnéus .
but where hardwicke leavened twilight ’s more fantastical vampire elements with pangs of teen yearning ( thereby minting kristen stewart and robert pattinson as international superstars ) , there’s nary a plausible motive for anything anyone does in red riding hood .
this is a film which is visually stylish , but the plot holes are enormous .
gory discretion shot : some of the deaths in the film revolve around this trope .

red riding hood
has the added inconvenience of being dreadfully serious about a plot so preposterous , it demands to be filmed by monty python . all that amused me was a dream sequence where grandma says , “the better to eat you with . ” i ' m asking myself , “how can red riding hood dream about dialogue in her own fairy tale when she hasn ' t even gone over the hill and through the dale to grandmother ' s house yet ? ”
a copy of the revised first draft of the film can be obtained here * . however , it ' s quite different from the final script . it ' s bloodier and more gruesome , there ' s more characters that didn ' t reach the final film , the opening scene is completely different , the final confrontation between the werewolf , red riding hood , and the villagers is different , etc . also , it plays out as a more historically accurate horror film rather than being set in a fantasy medieval world .

in this makeover of the
red riding hood
story , the characters are elegant and upper class .
making them more pompous and living in enormous castles allowed me to have more fun . i purposely dressed them in extremely big clothing ,
egnéus said .
even the reliably intense margot robbie is unable to fill the gaps left by the film’s unambitious screenplay .
i can’t watch the trailer for red riding hood without laughing . it looks like a parody of a real movie with its overly sinister take on the red riding hood fairy tale . i know the brothers grimm’s original tales were dark , but you’re not going to turn “my , what big eyes you have , ” into a chilling piece of horror dialogue . while the story may turn out to be a problem , cinematographer mandy walker has done a solid job capturing the gothic tone that director catherine hardwicke ( twilight ) wanted to convey .
you’d be forgiven for mistaking the new movie red riding hood ( which hit theaters friday ) for something that it most certainly is not : a romantic thriller in the twilight vein set against a sexed - up brothers grimm backdrop . in fact , marketers have been working overtime in the hopes you’ll presume precisely as much . the logic being that red riding hood ’s parts–conflicted heroine caught between brooding hunks , exquisite adolescent longing , arterial splatter–will add up to the same hormonal calculus that propelled the first three twilight saga movies to gross $ 1 . 8 billion worldwide .
but how to update the basic , climactic events of the red riding hood tale ? the whole
gobbling up
thing can of course only translate into sex , but in true twilighty style , the film has a tense need to refrain from going all the way . a roll in the hay , during a village celebration , appears ambiguously to end in valerie not actually having sex .

shot through with dreadful acting , howl - inducing plot twists , and distracting production design , red riding hood not only manages to underserve its intended teenage girl constituency , it pillages a beloved bed - time story for a tawdry tag - line : “believe the legend . beware the wolf . ”
: everyone in the film speaks with an american accent , except for father solomon and his two african guards .
twilight - esque is the word for this film , i also think that is precisely wrong for a horror film . if you liked twilight here ' s more of the same for you . - . . . continue reading
i have typed and retyped this line over a dozen times . nothing i can say does this film any sort of justice . ethical issues aside , this movie is horrible . from the very first scenes the dialogue is spotty . there is zero character development before the film jumps off into melodrama so thick and syrupy that it makes daytime television look relaxed . if you are a fan of twilight and the camerawork / imagery , then you will probably like the look of red riding hood . if you enjoyed the abrupt nature of the soundtrack jaggedly dispersed throughout twilight , then you will probably like that same style in this film . in fact , those two technical qualities considered , they could be the same film . the very small amount of storyline that red riding hood has going for it is predictable and could likely be squeezed into a 30 minute television show and still be awful . the performances are unrealistic and disconnected . the only aspect of this entire movie that has any sort of chemistry is the scenes of sensual / sexual nature and even those aren’t good .

readers are speaking out about this on amazon because they paid retail price for a book that is incomplete , and cannot be resold online or through a used book store . you can imagine that this is a bad pr move for warner bros . and we will see what the opening day results are now for red riding hood .
while all this may sound reasonable enough on paper–it must have at least seemed potentially commercial enough to secure the backing of leonardo dicaprio’s production company , appian way– red riding hood ends up providing a showcase for no small number of troubling scenes , strange filmmaking choices , and puzzling characterizations ( alert : spoilers abound ) . among them :
the list includes an updated version of little red riding hood , two films based on the snow white story , a movie of the old english fable jack and the beanstalk , a 3d pinocchio , a version of beauty and the beast set in modern america called beastly , and the unusually titled hansel & gretel : witch hunters .
the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
image credit : kimberly french red riding hood director catherine hardwicke has certainly proven she knows how to cast a movie . ( would twilight have been the same if she hadn’t nabbed kristen stewart and robert pattinson ? ) now , in an ew interview , the director unveils some of her casting secrets . “starting with thirteen , my known technique is to cast the lead , then find someone with whom they have incredible chemistry , ” hardwicke tells ew . “like nikki reed and evan rachel wood . same with rob and kristen . the same was true with [ red riding hood star ] amanda [ seyfried ] . i wanted her to be on fire with the person . ”
which doesn’t add much value for anyone , let alone members of red riding hood ’s core under 25 - year - old female demographic , a constituency that’s been casting about for another twilight , another love story for the ages . not an exercise in reimagineering everyone’s favorite 700 - year - old bedtime story as a sexually sinister exploitation movie .
according to deadline , jane the virgin star gina rodriguez is wanted for the lead role in a remake of the 2011 mexican drama miss bala , which is set to be directed by catherine hardwicke ( twilight , red riding hood ) . the original film follows a young beauty pageant contestant who witnesses a drug - related murder and is kidnapped by the gang and forced to do their bidding . the script for the remake is being written by gareth dunnet alcocer , while kevin misher and pablo cruz are set to produce . hardwicke is also said to be circling an adaptation of the classic 1961 children’s book the phantom tollbooth , although miss bala could jump to the front of the queue if rodriguez’s casting is confirmed .
es , red riding hood features a girl in a cape , a doomed granny and a massive chatty wolf . but there the similarities between the classic bedtime frightener and catherine hardwicke ' s revamp end . imagine hansel and gretel but with the gingerbread swapped for bacon and the witch for a tap - dancing cartoon jellyfish and you ' ll have some idea of the liberties hardwicke and co have taken to help make this film as closely as possible resemble her previous one : twilight .
in preparation for the release of the movie red riding hood fans have been scooping up the novelization by sarah blakley - cartwright . in doing so though they have learned that the book is missing it’s ending . that’s right , fans who have bought the book that the movie is being based on will not know the ending until the movie is released !
red riding hood ,
which stars amanda seyfried as a strong - willed teenager in a love triangle , is generating solid interest from teenage girls , whom warner has been courting heavily in its advertising campaign . it ' s the first movie from director catherine hardwicke since 2008 ' s
twilight ,
a mega - hit with young females .
. there ' s a basket of goodies ( not exactly the edible kind ) , a sweet grandma , a winsome young lass in a beautiful red hood , and a big bad wolf . but there the similarity ends . this
the red cloak , given to valerie by grandmother ( julie christie ) , was boot length , but in some scenes the hood is much , much longer and billows out behind her . the long cloak signals a dream sequence .
red riding hood * * ( out of four ) stars : amanda seyfried , gary oldman , billy burke , shiloh fernandez , max irons , julie christie , lukas haas , virginia madsen director : catherine hardwicke distributor : warner bros . rating : pg - 13 for violence , creature terror and some sensuality running time : 1 hour , 40 minutes opens friday nationwide
by the time the title character gets pawed by an eager young lad , growling , “i could eat you up , ” it’s clear that this isn’t your grandmother’s “red riding hood . ” more like your teenage daughter’s , as director catherine hardwicke stays firmly in “twilight” territory with another moony - eyed romantic triangle beset by hellish supernatural complications . intermittently enjoyable [ … ]
the definitive brothers grimm version of little red riding hood was the ultimate don’t - talk - to - strangers warning : a tale of moral peril about a curious girl who dared to leave her mother’s approved pathway . “red - cap” was “a dear little girl who was loved by every one who looked at her , ” especially an “old sinner” like the wolf . the wolf lured that “plump morsel” into bed with a bit of kinky role - playing , then devoured her whole .
this film is proof of a different kind of representation of roma and affirms their artistic value and cooperation of roma and europe , based on respect for cultural differences . the film literalizes what aime cesaire , referring to a different context , termed as “neologistic” cultural politics – which is a polyphonic tactic collage focusing on the “existence among fragments” , conflating folkloric manifestations with alien forms and symbols . subverting the classical fairytale of little red riding hood the director draws a multi - linguistic psycho - genealogy of a people , the romes , constantly persecuted for their refusal to abide by the violent logic of feudal materialism that still rule our ( un ) civilised democracies .

lucie is the older sister of valerie . she is oldest daughter of suzette and adrian lazar , although she believes her father to be cesaire . she is in love with henry lazar ( not realising they are actually half - siblings ) . lucie is killed by the wolf at the beginning of red riding hood ; her death is the catalyst for many of the events that follow .
of the classics of world literature crying out to be filmed as a sexual fantasy for teenage girls , surely
red riding hood
is far down on the list . here ' s a movie that cross - pollinates the
twilight
formula with a werewolf and adds a girl who always wears a red hooded cape , although i don ' t recall her doing any riding . it ' s easy to imagine a story conference in which they said : hey ! let ' s switch the vampires with a werewolf and recycle the theme of a virgin attracted to a handsome but dangerous hunk , only let ' s get two hunks !
is distinguished on this list because it ' s the only film here that features a bonafide film star or two , and still hasn ' t secured a release in the u . s . , though it did sneak a quick peak in u . k . cinemas in february , before promptly disappearing amidst appropriately embarrassing reviews and a paltry box office . it ' s a film easy to compare to the year ' s best comedy ,
buy dvd | soundtrack | book distributor warner bros . runtime 100 min rating pg - 13 year 2011 director catherine hardwicke screenwriter david johnson cast amanda seyfried , gary oldman , billy burke , shiloh fernandez , max irons , virginia madsen , lukas haas , julie christie
reimagining a legend already subject to innumerable changes over the centuries , the script by david leslie johnson ( “orphan” ) superficially recalls tim burton’s “sleepy hollow” in the way it spins a classic tale into a convoluted whodunit cloaked in small - town superstition and religious paranoia , though “ red riding hood ” lacks the earlier film’s visual mastery and rich sense of time and place . seeming willfully anachronistic one moment , distracted and fuzzy - headed the next , the film unfolds in what looks like a medieval european village populated by characters with names like valerie and roxanne , played by actors who make no effort to hide their flat american intonations when they say things like , “you’d better watch yourself . ”
when the wolf in one of carter’s red riding hood stories explains to the girl why he has big teeth — “all the better to eat you with” — she bursts out laughing . “she knew , ” carter writes , “she was nobody’s meat . ” her insouciance is thrilling . ms . hardwicke wants to have her feminism and fairy tale , but carter’s no - prisoners bad attitude is too far out for an entertainment like “red riding hood , ” where only the appearance of girl power will finally do . given this , it’s worth noting that ms . hardwicke , who is deeply enamored of aerial photography , sends the camera repeatedly soaring over the landscape where sometimes a woman in a red cloak as vivid as blood walks with a man across the snowy expanse . it’s a striking image suggestive of freedom , though perhaps it’s really just the guy who this little fairy - tale fugitive needs to escape from .
such themes certainly seem to have helped attract hardwicke to the red riding hood story . in a recent interview with newsweek , she said :
why did she get in bed with the wolf … it represents a dark animal nature which is close to sexuality . in the traditional story , the wolf cross - dresses and lures her into bed . that ' s pretty kinky right there !
is distinguished as the only film on my list which was sarcastically applauded and howled at by disparaging critics as we sat in a soho screening room watching it ( though season of the witch very nearly broke out into a fervour too ) . this film held my number one spot for a long time , its badness running deep to its core , all the more disappointing given the film ' s ripe comic potential . taking herman melville ' s literary classic
in this case the project is clearly aimed at a teenage audience obsessed with awakening sexuality and the supernatural . its director is catherine hardwicke of the hit vampire movie twilight .
this little red riding hood looks completely made for the twilight generation . it looks like it is teenage angst and very pale people ,
said professor jonathan gray , a popular culture expert at the university of wisconsin - madison .
the novelization which includes a forward by red riding hood director catherine hardwicke has omitted the ending and is telling readers to go to a specific website once the film is released where the final pages will be posted . are they kidding ? first of all the book becomes useless once warner bros . decides it no longer wishes to maintain the site . second of all this is a total ripoff to fans everywhere . selling an incomplete book in order to drive up movie sales is a cheap , underhanded way to improve your box office numbers . this is low .
hardwicke , you see , also brought twilight to the screen , becoming the most successful female director ever in the process . and if there’s an unmistakable twilight - y whiff to the whole thing , it’s thanks to her pedigree coupled with two none - too - subtle casting maneuvers : twilight dad billy burke plays red’s father in red riding hood and shiloh fernandez , the also - ran who famously came this close to portraying edward cullen in the twilight saga , appears here as a wolf - battling character named , ahem , peter .
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…
the film’s heart - aches and lupine maulings exist in a nowhere land of bad genre clichés ( hot girl - on - girl action ! a rave ! ) , quasi - medieval mise en scène and–most bafflingly–emo posturing . which has resulted in a movie with considerably more violence and less romance than its storybook milieu would have you believe . more problematic still , red riding hood may ultimately end up trashing its director catherine hardwicke ’s hard - earned credibility as an oracle of adolescent interests–as a filmmaker singularly capable of spinning the libido - driven chaos of budding teens into box - office gold .
one image shows red and her mother in a palatial mansion in pre - raphaelite - style gowns about 13 to 16 feet long .
the movie was directed by catherine hardwicke , who made the first
twilight
film .
red riding hood
opens with computer - generated shots of hundreds of square miles of forests , dotted here and there by grim , stubby castles . then we meet the narrator , valerie , who always wears a red cape . she is but a lass when she steals away with peter , her pre - pubescent boyfriend , so they can trap a bunny rabbit and possibly slit its throat , although the camera moves away from the bunny at the crucial moment to focus upon their faces as the young actors think , “ok , this is where they flash forward , and we are replaced by amanda seyfried and shiloh fernandez . ”
—i don’t think the reviewer and i saw the same film . i quite enjoyed “red riding hood . ” it was beautifully photographed and visually stunning , the symbolism was evident , the cast was solid , the musical score was memorable , and i liked the characters . i did not guess who the wolf was until the very end . i appreciate that for once , they made the “other” young man vying for the heroine’s affection into an honorable boy , who showed his love for her in being willing to let her follow her heart , rather than falling into the cliche of “rich boy—evil , poor boy—good ! ”

consider its plot : red riding hood a . k . a . valerie ( amanda seyfried ) , a beautiful maiden with a quiet wild streak , is about to run off with poor woodsman peter after discovering mom and dad have arranged her marriage to henry ( max irons ) , brood - tastic son of the village’s reigning plutocrat . but valerie and peter’s elopement gets the kibbosh when they discover the wolf–who has kept an uneasy peace with this forest hamlet for generations thanks to regular pig sacrifices–has viciously murdered valerie’s sister . eventually famed werewolf hunter father solomon ( gary oldman , who doesn’t so much chew scenery as gnaw entire soundstages to shreds ) is enlisted to battle the beast . bodies pile up while red finds her heartstrings plucked by the two young studs , either of who would gladly take her hand in marriage . or more to the point , owing to the fact that every character is potentially a werewolf in father solomon’s view , either suitor could as easily bite red riding hood’s hand off in the glare of the full moon .
in red riding hood , valerie is being courted by the village’s two hottest young lads , but rather than reveling in what must be every teenage girl’s dream ( as evidenced by the ubiquity of this particular plot device in this new giant of a genre ) , she’s forced , instead , to spend all her time worrying that one of them might be a werewolf—while also dodging accusations of witchcraft and dealing with some dark family secrets . the ultimate revelation of the werewolf’s identity and motives is annoyingly tidy , revealed in a half - assed series of flashbacks which finally answer the question of why valerie is the central figure of this story . but the film’s final image is so decadent and haunting—combined with highlights such as julie christie’s performance as the aloof and mysterious grandmother , along with the rich opening and closing montages of breathtaking landscape shots punctuated with gothic touches—that you sometimes realize you’re enjoying yourself despite your better judgment . in the end , red riding hood is sort of like a hook - up that you remember more or less fondly but still would never tell your friends about .
so , for seyfried’s romantic interest in red riding hood , hardwicke called in what she labels the “80 hottest guys from around the world” — and narrowed them down to eight . she then instructed seyfried ( “quite the trooper ! ” ) to make out with each of them . “i’d say , ‘you don’t have to kiss them all if you don’t want to , ’ and then i’d look over there and think whoa ! , ” she says , laughing .
i actually enjoyed the original version of the film , thought it was a great twist to the tale . however the extended blu - ray version is better by far . this is an adult story , not for children . suitable for people who like romantic comedies , dramas and fantasy . i enjoyed the interplay between the characters . they all showed chemistry , especially amanda and shiloh . amanda seyfried works for me as ' red riding hood ' , though she is not addressed as such in the film . amanda is not playing an atypical victim , but a young woman who is comfortable with who she is and what she wants . shiloh fernandez was a good casting as the brooding would be love of red . he doesn ' t go over the top , but plays the part just right . max irons character was also a good casting . he is your typical male lead and a fitting counterpart to shiloh . all in all the three leads do a very good job and play their roles responsibly . this is not a tale for children to watch but more an adult version of the film . the supporting cast led by gary oldman , who is brilliant in every role he takes , are great . we are kept guessing as to who the wolf is with good scripting and acting . i enjoyed the music and ambience of the film . they helped weave the story . many people have criticised this film , but i enjoyed it and will happily watch it again .
the rare actress who can appear angelic and devilish in the same frame , the luminous seyfried would seem ideally cast as a sweetly corruptible red riding hood , but the film is loath to jeopardize the viewer’s rooting interest by making her an especially rich or complicated heroine . oldman , playing an obvious caricature of fire - and - brimstone hysteria , nonetheless brings some declamatory showmanship and an interesting quasi - slavic accent to the community’s otherwise bland diction . there’s something to be said for allowing actors to speak and emote in their natural patois in a fairy - tale context , but here it serves merely to point up the general absence of magic .
is a film that never really stood a chance as soon as its trailer was released ; giving away the main plot twist of the film - that its protagonist , played by daniel craig , is batshit crazy - is the most asinine marketing calculation seen in years , and makes for an utterly joyless , unsurprising cinematic experience . after spending 45 minutes waiting for the trailer twist to reveal itself , the rest of the film is spent getting increasingly ridiculous , resulting in an unsatisfying , shockingly dull thriller which serves as an embarrassment for all involved . in fact , stars daniel craig and rachel weisz disowned the film and refused to do publicity for it after taking issue with the studio - mandated cut of the film , and it ' s widely documented that director jim sheridan - who has endured a few duds as of late - had control taken away by the studio , who argued with him about how to shoot several scenes . it ' s hilarious to think that six months ago , oscar prognosticators were considering the merits of this film , and now it ' s topping many
worst of . . .
lists . the ultimate feel is that of a film by committee , not a singular , unique vision as one might expect from a talented director like sheridan ; it is clunkily put together , and frankly one feels the most productive result of it is that craig and weisz became a couple off the back of it . the film also serves as a crucial lesson in film marketing ; how could anyone think it was a good idea to essentially spoil the entire film from its first trailer . it ' s little surprise that daniel craig and rachel weisz disowned this turgid , woefully inept thriller which idiotically gave away its big reveal in the trailer .
amanda seyfried ' s big eyes are mesmerizing . her blond hair falls in pretty waves . she looks wonderful in red . those are the only good things to be said about this grotesque version of the classic fairy tale , which was directed by catherine hardwicke . in keeping with hardwicke ' s twilight past ( she helmed the first film ) , red is ripe with twisted messages about sexuality and beckoning werewolves , but , hard though it may be to believe , it ' s much , much sillier than twilight . seeing what hollywood did to this fairy tale is a reminder to not get too excited about the prospects of next year ' s snow white & the huntsman and mirror , mirror . on the other hand , the movie is proof that gary oldman , who chews the scenery as a witch - hunting priest in red riding hood and stars as the perfectly reserved george smiley in december ' s tinker tailor soldier spy , can rebound from anything .
seyfried has as much fun as she can with valerie ; she relishes her passion in a way kristen stewart ' s bella never would . (
i know good girls aren’t supposed to go into the woods , ” says a wide - eyed valerie , shortly before flirtatiously playing with the woodsmen ' s phallic axe . ) she wears her red hood with hester prynne pride , and she does get to strike a fatal blow . but the shadow of bella can ' t be escaped . similarly , red riding hood has virtues ( the stark , stylized visuals ; a scenery - shredding turn by gary oldman as a religious werewolf hunter ) , yet it ends with such a naked attempt at launching a franchise , that any good evaporates . you might say that twilight has sucked the life right out of it .
fairy tales are an easy thing for hollywood to adapt , since you don ' t actually need to pay licensing fees for ips or anything . which is why there was that whole fad of
gritty fairy tales
, like snow white and the huntsman and red riding hood and such . now , it seems , that fad has died out . but there ' s a subversive take on the way about the fairy godmother called . . . fairy . . . read more . . .
was red riding hood masterminded by a cadre of particularly silly 11 - year - olds undergoing withdrawal from twilight ? that’s the only excuse for a movie this dopey . david johnson’s screenplay is amateurish and tone - deaf , and director catherine hardwicke , best known for the perfume - commercial tone of that first twilight movie and thirteen , must have actively encouraged her fleet of able supporting actors to embarrass themselves . julie christie , virginia madsen , lukas haas and gary oldman couldn’t have reached these depths on their own . the best performance in this movie is by a garment — the hooded red cape itself — which swirls and billows fetchingly in the snow .
oscar - nominated british actor andrew garfield will be honored this year with zurich ' s golden eye award , a lifetime achievement honor . garfield , whose career spans from the gritty brit noir of the red riding hood trilogy to acclaimed performances in mel gibson ' s hacksaw ridge , david fincher ' s social network and martin scorsese ' s silence to donning the tights for marc webb in the amazing spider - man , will attend zurich to receive his award . garfield will present his latest film , breathe , at the festival , together with actor andy serkis , who makes his directorial debut with the real - life drama based on the life of robin cavendish , who was . . .
i was looking forward to this film as i thought that the trailer looked good and i liked the director from previous films she has done but although the mood was good throughout the film i thought that it just kind of seemed flat , a bit like an extended tv episode of a poorly written show . gary oldman was terrible in this as well , usually he is fantastic but i just don ' t think the part did him justice at all . wouldn ' t suggest you buy this but if twilight etc is your thing then you will probably enjoy this film .

so little red riding hood ' s real name was valerie . who knew ? it ' s one of the many minor tweaks to this grimms ' fairytale made over for the young teen movie market . think of it , in fact , as twi - lite - and that ' s not just because its director , catherine hardwicke , presided over the first instalment of the vampire franchise . it ' s also because of the heightened , cheesy special effects , brooding atmosphere and tale of a girl caught between two moody guys .
prepare for a fairytale invasion . hollywood movie studios , in their constant quest for remakes and modern spins on old stories , are about to unleash a new wave of film versions of ancient european folktales .
the level at which red riding hood borrows from twilight is not just limited to the dueling suitors and the werewolf component ( oversized and able to move at lightning speed , this wolf would fit right in with jacob’s crowd ) . the actor who plays valerie’s father , billy burke , even plays bella’s dad in the twilight series . and valerie has a special bond with the creature : she can talk to it , which causes her to worry about her own nature . “maybe there was something dark inside me , ” she speculates , shortly after father solomon commands her to put on her “harlot’s robe” and prepare to be offered up to the wolf . oh , red , what purple prose you’ve been given .
once upon a time , a small girl in a red cloak scurried through the dark forest to deliver pastries to her worryingly lupine - looking grandma . now the girl in question is valerie , played by amanda seyfried , a totalicious babe , who lives in a quaintly imagined medieval european village , menaced by a werewolf that lives in the outlying forest . my ideal casting for red riding hood would have been justin bieber , but there you go . she is in love with sexy bad boy peter ( shiloh fernandez ) but promised in marriage to equally dishy posh henry ( max irons ) , who is supposed to be rich , and yet seems to have the somewhat pleb job of ironmonger , presumably to show us his sweaty pecs .

full title reads :
california . when the earth trembled . vivid pictures taken by day and night bring home to us here , the awful meaning of the cry ' earthquake ! ' .

the examples of agricultural terraces that can be most accurately dated by archaeological evidence come from the slopes just outside and below the iron i villages of ai and raddana . these small , hilltop villages sustained by terrace farming were typical of the many new settlements founded in the hills . the highland villagers were already well advanced in the techniques of terrace agriculture when they established their settlements de novo on hilltops and laid out their terraced plots on the slopes below .
the moon like blood : this chilling sight presages calamity and death , particularly in war , as in the color of the second horse ( revelation 6 : 4 ) . sometimes lunar discoloration occurs naturally when unusual amounts of dust are suspended in the atmosphere , particularly after a volcanic eruption or an earthquake . incidentally , many manuscripts read
full moon
rather than simply
moon .
; but here the colours are more vivid , and the language more intense . in fact , the whole realm of poetry cannot show a finer feeling for nature in her wrath . we first hear the rumbling of the earth , probably earthquake preceding the storm ( for volcanic phenomena of palestine see stanley ' s
is coming , for it is at hand : a day of darkness and gloominess , a day of clouds and thick darkness , like the morning clouds spread over the mountains . . . . the earth quakes before them , the heavens tremble ; the sun and moon grow dark , and the stars diminish their brightness . the l
most scholars have found albright’s formulation compelling , especially when combined with the technological advantage that supposedly came with the introduction of iron tools and weapons into the hill country about 1200 b . c . with a superior edge on their iron axes to cut down the forests , the highlanders supposedly could increase agricultural production . 6 with iron quarrying tools , they supposedly could cut tunnels through the rock for irrigation and hew out large reservoirs for water storage . 7
the third movement begins in the early morning hours of april 18th , 1906 . as the city sleeps the fault line rips and the earth begins to tear apart . devastation and destruction ensue as the city turns to chaos caused by the tremors and aftershocks of the earthquake . an odd - metered march develops that signifies the soldiers marching in to take control of the city as it burns in the aftermath of the quake .
the sixth seal also involves heavenly bodies doing the unexpected : the sun darkens , the moon turns blood - red , the stars fall , and the sky itself rolls up like a scroll . not only do these terrifying cosmic wonders signal the beginning of the day of the lord , but they , like the previous five seals , also serve as judgments against sinful mankind on planet earth .
the one - reel film was a profitable commodity for patents company members , but there was increasing pressure from foreign and independent producers for longer films . the company’s distribution arm ran very efficiently but had trouble with multiple - reel films because of their extra expense and unpredictable demand within the circumscribed run of the regular exhibition schedule . so , a new system was created for these longer films , the exclusive service . when lubin studios made its first three - reel film ,
we don ' t want donations of money . if somebody would give us building materials we would do the work ourselves . we would build each other ' s houses and resettle the community ,

even though the vault was rebuilt , it was the beginning of the end for the company . the next setback came in 1915 , when the u . s . government ruled that the motion picture patents company was a trust and must be dissolved . siegmund lubin , who had been planning to establish a new $ 200 , 000 studio in san francisco , said : “we will have to readjust the business to fit the law , but i hardly see now how we can do it . it means millions in expense for us and a big loss . ”
jeremiah 33 : 9 then it shall be to me a name of joy , a praise , and an honor before all nations of the earth , who shall hear all the good that i do to them ; they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the prosperity that i provide for it . ’
in short , the window of these people ' s minds opens up to a substantially different landscape than what currently exists in our world . consider how many individuals whom we would today classify as
the kings of the earth , the great men
would refer to christ as
the lamb
? how many
rich men , the commanders , the mighty men
know about the prophesied day of the lord ?
the song of deborah depicts a ten - tribe confederation—the “kindred ( or people ) of yahweh”—out of which only six tribes actively participated in the battle against the canaanites . those tribes who failed to respond to the call suffered the scorn of those who rallied to the battle , but they could not be coerced to join the fight . there were times when “ethnic” bonding did not prevail over more compelling realities , such as those non - tribal economic and political alignments that , as we shall see , caused dan , asher , reuben and gilead / gad to sit out the battle .
in the israelite conquest described in the bible , when the israelites were unsuccessful in their initial assault on ai ( after their success at jericho ) , they sought to identify—apparently by lot—the sinner who was responsible for their defeat at ai . this process ultimately produced an individual , achan , who was found to have violated the proscription against taking booty after the destruction of jericho . to identify achan , first the “tribe” ( shevet or matteh ) was chosen—judah . then the “clan” ( mishpakhah ) —zerah . then the “house” or lineage ( bayit ) —zabdi . finally , the “individual” ( geber ) —achan ! ( joshua 7 ) .
terracing was a highly successful adaptation to the highlands . but the new mountain ecosystem that accompanied it was just as fragile as the natural one , perhaps more so . without regular maintenance the terraces deteriorated rapidly . the combined weight of collapsed walls and unconsolidated earth sometimes produced devastating landslides . left in their wake were hillsides so denuded that nature alone could not reclaim them .
this is what humanity and our mother earth demand of us . it is the time for rebellious dignity . we will make this a material reality by convoking a constituent assembly of the indigenous governing council for mexico in the month of may 2017 . from there we will build bridges toward the compañeros and compañeras of civil society , the media , and the originary peoples in order to make the earth tremble at its core , to overcome fear and recuperate what belongs to humanity , what belongs to the earth and what belongs to the peoples . we do this so that we can recuperate the territories that have been invaded or destroyed , so that the disappeared of this country can be returned , so that all political prisoners are freed , so that there can be truth and justice for all of those who have been murdered , so that there can be dignity for the countryside and the city . that is , have no doubt , we are going for everything , because we know this might be the last opportunity we have as originary peoples and as mexican society to peacefully and radically change our forms of government , making dignity the epicenter of a new world .
while the bad governments deform state policies on education , placing education at the service of capitalist corporations such that it ceases to be a right , the originary peoples create primary schools , secondary schools , high schools and universities with their own educational systems , based in the protection of our mother earth , in defense of territory , in production , in the sciences , in the arts , and in our languages . despite the fact that the majority of these processes grow without the support of any level of the bad government , these institutions are meant to serve everyone .
we leaned forward in our saddles , and with cheers and yells on our lips , made the dash and caught up with them as they were crossing the railroad . [ i ] was riding a mule , and when we came to the track the mule refused to cross it . i thrust my spurs so deep into his side he jumped clean over the track , and ran away with me right into the federals . they opened up to let me pass through . i could not account for my escape without it was their admiration for the bravery of that mule , to whom i give all credit as i was doing my best to hold him .

to all of them , we say that the earth indeed has trembled , and we along with her , and that we intend to shake the conscience of the entire nation , and that , in fact , we intend for indignation , resistance and rebellion to be present as an option on the electoral ballots of 2018 . but we also say that it is not at all our intention to compete with the political parties or with the political class who still owe this country so much . they owe us for every death , disappearance , and imprisonment , and every dispossession , repression , and discrimination . do not mistake our intentions . we do not plan to compete against them , because we are not the same as they are . unlike them , we are not filled with lies and perverse words . we are instead the collective word of below and to the left , that which shakes the world and makes it tremble with epicenters of autonomy , and which makes us so proudly different from them that :
when lubin returned to philadelphia in 1902 , he increased sales of his projectors , expanded his studio to make more films , and opened cineograph theaters . other film pioneers around the country were also doing the same : george spoor supplied projectors and films to orpheum theaters with his kinodrome service , and william selig made projectors and films at his selig polyscope company . j . stuart blackton , william rock , and albert smith were also producing films and projectors at the american vitagraph company , as was the american mutoscope and biograph company ( later home to d . w . griffith ) . all of them were fighting lawsuits with edison .
. but the poetic vigour of david ' s imagination intensities the imagery , and makes it more grand and startling . not merely is there the earthquake and the volcano and the storm cloud , but the dim form of the almighty is present , with the smoke of just anger at unrighteousness ascending from his nostrils , and the lightnings flashing forth to execute his wrath . but david certainly intended that these metaphors should remain ideal ; and it was quite unnecessary for the targum carefully to eliminate all such expressions as seem to give the almighty bureau shape . in so doing it merely changes poetry into prose . but even more dull and commonplace is the explanation given by some modern commentators , that all that is meant is that david was once saved by a thunderstorm from some danger or other . really this glorious imagery , taken from all that is grandest on earth , is intended to magnify to us the spiritual conception of god ' s justice coming forth to visit the earth and do right and equity . in ver . 8 for

the striking contrasts between the hills and the plains are highlighted continually by the archaeology of palestine in the iron i period , as the wealth of canaanite and sea peoples material culture is compared with the poverty of the highland settlements of the israelites .
we appreciate the messages of support , hope , and solidarity that came from intellectuals , collectives , and peoples in response to our proposal entitled “let the earth tremble at its core , ” which we made public during the first phase of the fifth national indigenous congress . we also acknowledge the critical voices , many of them making fundamentally racist arguments , that expressed indignant and contemptuous rage at the idea that an indigenous woman would aspire not only to contend for presidential election , but would propose to truly change , from below , this broken country .
he had barely time to post the letter before the mail - stage left the little hamlet in which it was written . he was soon dissatisfied with himself and the missive , and regretted having written it . before an hour had passed he muttered :
i never wrote such a letter to a woman before , and i won ' t again . i put myself in the worst light , in fact was unjust to myself . how differently i would write to mara ! is it the difference in women which inevitably inspires different thought and action ? at any rate , there is a touch of coarseness in this masculine persiflage which grates . when i return we must become friends as man and woman . i wonder if she will feel as i do about it ?
in contrast to meroz , however , the israelite tribes who declined to respond to the muster are only chided for remaining aloof from the fray with the canaanites . perhaps the poet recognized the ameliorating economic circumstances in the predicament of the israelite tribes who sat out the battle .

once the forests were cleared , the israelites created agricultural terraces on the land . this technological advance in a very real sense opened up the highland frontier to the iron age farmers and dramatically altered the attractiveness of the hill country to the incoming agriculturalists . the carrying capacityg of the land was increased far beyond anything that had been known there in the late bronze age . 4

the small israelite village was no doubt organized along kinship lines . compound names of early israelite villages , such as the “hill of saul” ( gib‘at shaul ) , the “diadem of the house of joab” ( ‘atrot beit yo’ab ) , or the “enclosure of addar” ( khatzar ’addar ) , reveal something about the kin groups there - the first element in the name describes the settlement type ; the second element yields the name of the founding families and later the leading lineage or lineages in the village .

the findings of the autopsy were as follows . the body , radiocarbon dated at a . d . 400 , was almost perfectly preserved . there were no clothes , which one would have expected to be equally intact . eskimos are unclothed only in their houses , customarily being clothed for deliberate burial . the air passages in her lungs were packed with moss , and microscopic examination revealed hemorrhage , which is associated with suffocation . her lungs also showed anthracosis ( an accumulation of carbon pigment ) , and emphysema , accounting for her chronic cough . this disease in modern patients is associated with cigarette smoking or air pollution , but when seen in ancient bodies is due to lifelong exposure to the smoke of open cooking and heating fires in poorly ventilated houses . her chest pain can be attributed to a moderate degree of coronary arteriosclerosis , although there was no evidence that she had suffered a myocardial infarction ( “heart attack” ) .

the song of deborah ( judges 5 ) is one of the most powerful pieces of poetry in the entire bible . a prose version repeats the same story , with many variations , in judges 4 . the account tells of the deliverer ( judge ) deborah and her reluctant general barak , who do battle against an alliance of canaanite kings . the story takes place after the exodus from egypt and before the institution of the monarchy , during the time we call the settlement period—in biblical terms , the period of the judges .
examination of pum - ii , at wayne state university , in 1973 , was much more satisfactory . this mummy , dated at 170 b . c . , had been carefully preserved , so carefully , in fact , that it took six investigators a full day to remove the bitumen covering the body . it was found that the canopic parcels had been placed within the body . it was possible to identify the heart , major blood vessels , lungs , intestines , and spleen . as we have come to expect , the lungs contained a great deal of anthracotic pigment , but a surprise was the finding of considerable amounts of silica . this is presumed to be due to inhalation of silica - containing earth , and may indicate an occupational exposure .

it is a tribute to the poet who composed the victory ode we call the song of deborah that he or she did not conceal the realities of the situation by portraying a united front against the enemy ; but nevertheless the four reluctant tribes who failed to answer the call were only chided , not cursed . the enigmatic and otherwise unknown group of meroz is cursed for failing to join the israelites in this battle -
apart from the fact that the tissues were dried and leather - like , necessitating the use of an electric saw , of the type used to remove plaster casts , rather than a scalpel , it was possible to conduct the autopsy in a relatively standard technique . the heart and lungs were well preserved but the abdominal viscera and brain had deteriorated markedly . the most striking gross pathological change was the appearance of the lower lobe of the right lung , which was reduced to a putty - like mass , in contrast to the remainder of the lung which showed preservation of the normal spongy architecture .

l . in the poetic account of judges 5 , the israelite tribesmen descended upon the canaanites from the highlands in general , not from mt . tabor in particular . perhaps it was the specific mention of mt . tabor and the location of barak’s home in kedesh - naphtali in judges 4 , but not in the song of deborah ( judges 5 ) , that led to the reduction of the tribes who participated in the battle to just two—the galilean contingents of zebulun and naphtali , tribes already in the north .
