true , it is a new 1990 ' s generation of comedy . comparing idle hands with a peter jackson film may be off , but then again have you seen dude , where ' s my car ? , rhinophant . that is a horrible movie that features stoners . the new comedy of today is really horrible . i am not an old man , but i am 17 years old and i feel that the teen comedies such as american pie , road trip , scary movie , and idle hands do not have the ability to
strike gold
with both box office and audiences alike . like i said earlier , call mel brooks to write in the joke material and it would be alot more funnier . but you have your beliefs and i have mine . so that ' s about it .

is the film that i go to the theater hoping to see . it ' s got all of the elements for the perfect horror / comedy : ( 1 ) great dialogue ( 2 ) great gore / great make - up ( 3 ) great performers / sawa and green shine ( 4 ) a hot chick / jessica elba [ insert panting and howling here } ( 5 ) . . . and a barrel full of laughs . loving a film like

idle hands
samples other teen horror movies like a video dj with a tape deck , exhibiting high spirits and a crazed comic energy . it doesn ' t quite work , but it goes down swinging - - with a disembodied hand . the hand , which has a mind of its own , has been chopped off the arm of a teenage kid who is the victim of some kind of weird halloween demonic possession .

one of the important activities performed by ue during rrc idle mode is listening to paging message . the ue should listen to the paging message to know about incoming calls , system information change , and etws ( earthquake and tsunami warning service ) notification for etws capable ues . in lte , the ue needs to monitor pdcch continuously ( every 1ms ) for p - rnti to listen to paging message and this drains ue battery power heavily . instead , if the ue is allowed to monitor p - rnti in pdcch , only at predetermined period say every 60ms or 100ms , it will reduce ue’s power consumption . the process of monitoring pdcch discontinuously for p - rnti to listen to paging message during rrc idle state is known as discontinuous reception ( drx ) in rrc _ idle .
idle hands
is great . personally , i think its hilarious . but i ' m just not sure if i can completely sign off on this release . not until the price comes down a little perhaps . the picture quality isn ' t a huge jump from dvd releases ( which have supplements like commentary available ) . i ' ve been having quite a bit of fun with the titles image has been putting out recently , but i wish they ' d perhaps put a tad bit more

ues in idle mode monitor the pdcch channel for p - rnti used for paging to receive paging message from enb . the ue needs to monitor the pdcch only at certain ue specific paging occasion , i . e . only at specific subframe in specific radio frame . at other times the ue may go for sleep mode to save battery power .
delivering a dts - hd 5 . 1 format , it starting to seem like i can count on image to deliver a consistent and safe mix for my precious ear - holes ( not to get too scientific on you ) . dialogue holds its place with a clear and convicted mix . no power struggles amongst the layers seem to occur . each quirky splatter and stabbing effect is well established . no surprises here . it ' s worth mentioning that
idle hands
has an excellent sound track ranging from rob zombie to rancid . there is even some screen time for cali - punkers in the offspring where we get to watch frontman , dexter holland , get his scalp ripped off .
but was the movie really so bad ? i ' ve watched it twice in as many days , to see if those critiques hold up . my verdict : sure they do . the spirits within is a diabolically written movie . if the story that it tells had been a video game , at least the instances of interactive action would have kept the plot moving with some compelling beats . as a sit - down experience , hands left idle , it ' s a cavalcade of unanswered questions , a raft of too - quick conclusions drawn without any context , a heap of general that - makes - no - sense - whatsoever ridiculousness , with everything topped by an ending that just happens without any real feeling of conclusiveness .
the movie has energy and is probably going to attract a young audience , especially on video , since the r rating will keep away some viewers in its target audience , which is junior high school boys . after the colorado tragedy , some commentators have wondered if movies like this aren ' t partly responsible . i don ' t think we have to worry about
idle hands .
kids understand this kind of macabre comedy - - which is in the ancient horror spoof tradition - - and they don ' t take it seriously ; any viewer capable of being influenced by such silly gags would have to be deeply disturbed already . the only thing this movie is likely to inspire a kid to do is study fangoria magazine to find out how the special effects were achieved .
as a
roger corman film school
alumni , director , rodman flender has a clear understanding of how to balance splatter - tastic kills and beautiful teens in heat . but this 1999 slasher - comedy came out of the gate tripping over its own feet . frankly , it was a critical chew toy - being dismissed for its outrageous violence . most will chalk up the film ' s ill reception to the fact that it ' s release was poorly timed with the tragedy of colorado ' s columbine high school . within recent years ,
idle hands
has seemed to find its audience and be accepted as a light - weight cult piece . as it should . the laughs are well deserved with bat - shit - crazy physical comedy paired with a witty stoner tilt .
seeking advice from curtis , the local heavy metal headbanger , anton decides to keep his right hand busy ( not that way , you pervert ! ) by knitting , being told that
idle hands are the devil ' s tool .
however , this claim doesn ' t hold water when two cops - mcmacy and ruck - arrive to investigate the disappearance of each of the hand ' s victims . in the scene which follows , the possessed hand uses a knitting needle to treat mcmacy ' s head like a shish kabob while it turns ruck ' s own taser on its owner . meanwhile , curtis is confronted by debi , a woman who has been tracking satan ' s progress for some time . apparently , the devil plans to sacrifice a girl of his choice to take back with him to hell .
usually , when you watch a movie that sends up the horror genre , the movie sacrifices the scares in favor of the laughs . but , in idle hands , the movie makers remembered to keep all the creepy touches and startling frights that make a horror movie when they mixed in all the humor . not nearly as heavy handed as , say , the scary movie franchise , idle hands has all the normal trappings of a good teen horror flick : the unstoppable killing evil that has come back , the buddies of the main character who don ' t understand the danger until it ' s too late , the horny girl who main character must protect and a brave hero who is a bastion of all that is good in the world to defend us . . . ok , so i was lying about that last one . and that is one of the best twists of the film , the main character is a screw - up and doesn ' t act very heroically until very , very late in the film . in addition to really revving up the laughs , this feature is also what kind of makes this movie stand out from the usual horror fare . now , here ' s the key : while anton struggles with the evil in his bumbling way , egged on by the wise - cracks of mick and pnub , the film delivers actual horror . we get shocks , we get creeps , we get gore and we don ' t get the
ha - ha got ya !
joke right afterward that you get in most parodies . the scares are real , the deaths are real , the danger are real . and , surprisingly , so are the laughs .
the devil will find work for idle hands to do . . . but what happens when he chooses the laziest teen slacker in the world to do his dirty work ? anton tobias ( devon sawa , wild america ) is a channel - surfing , junk - food munching , couch potato burn - out who can ' t control the murderous impulses of his recently possessed hand . with the help of his zombiefied buddies , mick ( seth green , austin powers : the spywho shagged me ) and pnub ( elden henson , the mighty ) , anton ' s got to stop the rampaging devil appendage before it takes total control of his life and ruins any chance he has with class hottie molly ( jessica alba , never been kissed ) . vivica a . fox ( independence day ) and jack noseworthy ( the brady bunch movie ) co - star in this wickedly funny horror comedy .

i am particular about my films and usually don ' t go for
stoner
comedy but i thought this film was hilarious , i mean the story was a little thin but and the main star isn ' t a star but what makes a movie is how it plays out and it played out brilliantly even though the acting was poor in places it didn ' t matter cos u couldn ' t stop laughing long enough to notice jessica alba played a very cheesy yet funny part my favourite line being
mmm , your kinky
the look on her face and how she said it made me collapse into laughter , and being a great fan of the offspring made it even more of a bonus though dexter ' s acting was terrible . i was a great fan of sam raimis evil dead trilogy the hand scenes reminded me a lot of bruce cambells hand trying to kill him the hand scenes in idle hands were very well done please see this movie , u wont regret it
every year around halloween i put on a long horror movie marathon for me and my friends . we play many of the classics but i like to throw in some modern or more obscure titles that we haven ' t seen to keep it interesting and prevent us from spending yet another two hours quoting every line of dialogue in carpenter ' s halloween . i use idle hands to break up the marathon with a bit of humor and levity when the serious and somber horror films start to take their psychological toll and depress everyone . it brings everyone back into the mood of the marathon and refreshes us with some laughter . it is to my marathon what the porter is to macbeth you might say . in this context , the film is great . i don ' t know if i would rate it very highly on its own however . it is worth watching and if you like campy gore mixed some black humor you will have a good time watching it . try pairing it with a viewing of the evil dead 2 or something similar .
i always work on saturdays at idle hands , above ( 74 stokes croft , bristol bs1 3qy , 0117 914 7493 ) . we get most of the work done in the week , so it is usually a good social day with djs passing through from other parts of the country , or even further afield , discussing the various club nights on that weekend . for lunch , my co - worker frankie dread and i are quite partial to pepenero ' s ( 22 bond street , bristol bs1 3lu , 0117 926 8057 ) , our favourite pizza spot . it is run and staffed by italians , and the pizza tastes exactly as it does over there . after work i might have a couple of pints at the bell and then head to mathilda’s ( 8a haymarket walk , bristol , bs1 3ln , 0117 3292 626 , mathildaschili . com ) , a recently opened chilli restaurant . the menu is stripped back to about three options but that ‘s fine as they are all good , and they do deep fried gherkins - a favourite of mine .
i am turned off by smirky teen slasher movies . tired and boring . they are a drug on the market , and tend to be bland as heck . this does not apply to merely the latest ones , but ones going back for many years . enter idle hands . christmas present to myself . why not ? was told it was a fun blend of comedy and horror . but yow ! i was not told that i was in for a wild ride ! a previous review mentions the first 5 minutes looking like the typical cliché , until the fun kicks in . well , the first 5 minutes came and went , then when devon appears , the movie threw the clichés out the door and settled down into an insane and goofy pace playing on the comedic talents of some seasoned child star vets who are armed and dangerous with comedy and not afraid to use it . the end result is an absolute delight . not smirky , not self referencing this movie is genuine fun with genuine horror as well . a wild ride , ups and downs , giving you screams of fright and laughter . a 10 out of 10 for me , this one is a keeper to show friends for parties .
readers tread familiar territory in chapter three , ‘haunted housewives and the postfeminist mystique’ , which focuses on the tired but ever visible popular culture representation of the privileged ‘housewife’ and her life . munford and waters fire with fresh ammunition against pop culture’s obsessive resuscitation of this outdated model of femininity , and take us through sections on ‘feminism and the housewife’ ; ‘uncanny housewives’ ; ‘princess housewives and idle hands’ ; and finally , one presupposing the grim reality , ‘you’re gonna die in here ! ’ it is the third of these sub - chapters that is especially worth considering as paradoxical to friedan’s ‘occupation housewife’ . madonna’s career enables readers to engage through following her huge 1984 hit “like a virgin” through to her status as a noughties career mother . it might be argued that her celebrity status paved the way for britney spears’ own meteoric rise and fluctuating falls and , from there , wags , gold - diggers and the ‘princess housewife’ : “in celebrating these models of privileged ‘housewifery’ popular culture repeats a fairy - tale idealization of feminine idleness and indulgence that has long been a source of frustration within feminist discourses” ( p . 93 ) . popular culture remains rife with examples of this trend in glamourized domestication ; we need only think of the great british bake off and sewing bee , or nigella lawson and kirstie allsop , to relate this chapter to a modern mirage of femininity feeding off the carcass of consumerism whilst masking the stench of social decline .
you read a lot lately about how busy we americans are . that we don ' t have time to do anything important , like paying the bills , spending time with family and friends , and taking care of our health . but i think much of america has the opposite problem ; we seem to have too much time on our hands . how does most of america spend its leisure time these days ? not volunteering or bettering ourselves physically , intellectually , or spiritually . rather , most of america seems to immerse itself in popular culture : watching television , movies , and dvds , playing videogames , listening to music , surfing the internet , and reading women ' s or men ' s magazines .

let ' s clean the whole f * * kin house while we ' re at it !
- seth green this movie was funny and a breath of fresh air from the shlock slasher flicks that permeate the teen horror genre . to whoever wrote the original review . . . way to try and be funny , chief . the plot of the film is this kid ' s hand is possessed by evil . . . no needs to see the incredulous bracketed remarks about this . what were you hoping for , steel magnolias ? and to criticize the hand aspect ? weall know how common evil hands are . . . there have been numerous movies made on the topic , or including the topic . this was an updated version chock full of hilarious violence , one liners and weed .
for reasons unknown , i couldn ' t see idle hands when it was released into theatres last year in 1999 . i didn ' t get a chance to see it until it came out on tape in august later of that year . the plot centers around anton tobias ( devon sawa ) , he ' s 17 , he hasn ' t been to school in 6 months , he ' s in love with molly ( jessica alba ) a girl who has lived across the street from him for lord knows how long , and he smokes pot with his friends mick ( seth green ) and pnub ( elden henson ) . anyway , anton wakes up one day to find that his parents have disappeared , ( although it takes him about two days to realize this ) . this goes to show you should stop smoking pot all the time . it isn ' t long before anton discovers his horribly mutilated parents and that his right hand has been possessed by satan . his hand soon kills his best friends mick and pnub . with the help of a priestess debi ( vivica a . fox ) and a local headbanger ( jack noseworthy ) anton comes up with a few odd ways of keeping his hand occupied from its homicidal tendencies such as listening to heavy metal and needle point . let me just say that this movie is hilarious . i should also say that this movie is also one of the grossest and goriest movies i ' ve ever seen . there are quite a few hilarious moments as well as a few shocking ones . vivica a . fox ' s name says it all and jessica alba isn ' t bad to look at either . 10 / 10
you ' re only right to ask yourself : hasn ' t square learned from the spirits within ? at a press conference for final fantasy xv in los angeles earlier this year , the game ' s director hajime tabata was asked by kotaku uk editor keza macdonald just how many copies it ' d need to sell to cover its costs .
ten million
was his immediate reply . no further clarification was given—i know this , as i was sat right next to keza when she posed the question . square later released a statement , saying tabata ' s ten million was a
personal goal
and not the amount necessary to pay back what the studio had put in . ( they ' re not giving away that information . ) but with final fantasy vii , the biggest seller in the entire series , shifting around 11 million copies over its lifetime , for final fantasy xv to reach a number close to that is incredibly unlikely . will that leave square in the hole again , with another final fantasy financial disaster on its hands ?

well , my work here is done . time for the ritualistic sex .
the plot involves her pursuit only absentmindedly , however , since most of the big scenes involve comic gore : disembodied eyeballs , unusual biological processes , body parts discovered in unexpected ways , etc . there ' s no really convincing comic inspiration behind the f / x scenes , however , and although we might laugh at some of the goofiness , a movie like this works best when the effects are a means , not an end .

taking the devil ' s work to new depths and spoofing teen angst and horror flicks along the way with a cast to die for ! ! this is a tour de force black comedy . seth green does some of his best work here ably supported by elden henson as the dumb and dumber of zombies . the much much much underrated devon sawa leads the cast in this typical teen possessed hand dead buddies comedy that ' s been done to death ! ! ( that description is much better than you think ) . i don ' t won ' t to give too much away because this one ' s gonna blow your mind and free those brains up for gobbling in no time . jessica alba does a sexy turn that only nubile teens in heat and the dead can fully appreciate . this is the most fun i ' ve had at a teen movie since all of them ! ! ! ! it ' s hilariously on target and played straight as an arrow . you will laugh your fool head off ! ! i really think we ought to check the pulses of the two writers because they couldn ' t possibly have come up with this without having one foot in the grave . the picture and sound tranfer are great and blu - ray makes this movie really pop out at you . i love letting my tv convert it to 3d and having added fun . but fun is the operative word here . . . you ' ll have tons of it . . . once you ' ve gotten past the ' you ' re dead ' thingy . . . .
i ' m pretty patient , especially when it is something i paid . . .
not sure how this had a nearly 5 - star rating , but i assume it has something to do with thc . i ' m pretty patient , especially when it is something i paid for , but i turned this off with less than 15 minutes remaining .
if you’re looking to laugh tonight this is your movie . the movie that made jessica alba and launched deven sawas career . all known actors from a classic film about a cursed kids hand that goes on a killing spree .
i got this movie because i love seth green and the other actors came in great condition and was a great price but i seen it came on tv a lot so i passed it on to a friend .
it ' s worth a watch if you are into something campy and fun , and if you want to see young jessica . . .
came in on time and great conditions . . exactly what i asked for . . worth it ! !
honestly forgot how funny this movie was . did not regret watching it again after all these years . simple jokes and stoner comedy keep it light and make it an enjoyable . . .
rodman flender is great at directing sophomoric cinema . here , he ' s able to balance horror and comedy very adeptly with the various personalities he ' s dealing with .
solid a + 90 ' s stoner movie . its good year round but really kills it at halloween . too bad my kid is only 5 and watches cartoons or this would be on repeat .

mumbai : actress aishwarya rai bachchan , who first went to the cannes film festival with devdas back in 2002 , will be presenting the sanjay leela bhansali film again at the upcoming 70th edition of the fest .
being the second adaptation of the novel thunderball , never say never again follows a similar plotline to the earlier film , but with some differences .
the upcoming film adaptation of hello again , starring six - time tony winner audra mcdonald , has released a trailer . catch the first look above .
with the headline : screen : ' goodbye again ' at 2 theatres ; film based on novel by francoise sagan miss bergman , perkins and montand star .
never say never again is the second james bond theatrical film not produced by eon productions and the second film adaptation of the story thunderball . released in 1983 , it stars sean connery in his seventh and final film performance as british secret service agent james bond . it was released theatrically by warner bros .
the northrop frye centre proudly announces “fascist empire cinema : from history to film and back again” by prof . ruth ben - ghiat ( new york university ) .

never again

‘home again’ review : reese witherspoon as l . a . ’s perkiest single mom – variety
we ' re sorry , there is a problem with your invitation . please try again .
the film aims to incorporate both a variety of contemporary songs and an original score .
lighter and softer : yes , lighter and softer . compared to this one and the previous film , godzilla raids again is actually more hopeful despite the actions of the monsters , and characters didn ' t get worried about the monsters 24 / 7 . while still a horror film , at least it ' s not borderline cynical , something the first film is .
argentinean publisher editora columba , who published several original spanish - language james bond film adaptations in various d ' artagnan comic magazines during the ‘60s and ‘70s , adapted never say never again in 1984 .
the cannes film festival is set to commence on may 17 and will conclude on may 28 .
two people who have pledged never to fall in love again then discover each other in a gay bar .
home again is very much escapist fluff , but witherspoon ' s screen charm just about makes it work .
undemanding yet not unrewarding , home again is an entertaining diversion that is clear about its intentions and easily fulfils them .
scenery gorn : much like the previous film , though it isn ' t as nightmare fuel - ish as the previous film , where there was a tear jerking levels of tragedy accompanied by ifukube ' s score .
the film underwent one final change in title : after connery had finished filming diamonds are forever he had pledged that he would
never
play bond again . [ 6 ] connery ' s wife , micheline , suggested the title never say never again , referring to her husband ' s vow [ 10 ] and the producers acknowledged her contribution by listing on the end credits
title
never say never again
by : micheline connery
. a final attempt by fleming ' s trustees to block the film was made in the high court in london in the spring of 1983 , but this was thrown out by the court and never say never again was permitted to proceed . [ 5 ]

an interview with writer / director boots riley about his incendiary new film ,
sorry to bother you .
the film is not considered part of the canon of the bond film franchise from eon productions and united artists and is not produced by albert r . broccoli , despite its currently being handled by the official film series distributor , mgm . mgm acquired the distribution rights in 1997 after their acquisition of orion pictures . the film also marks the culmination of a long legal battle between united artists and kevin mcclory . its release opposite the franchise bond film octopussy ( starring roger moore ) quickly led the media to dub the situation the
battle of the bonds
.
mcclory originally planned for the film to open with some version of the famous
gunbarrel
opening as seen in the official bond series , but ultimately the film opens with a screenful of
007
symbols instead . when the soundtrack for the film was released on cd , it included a piece of music composed for the proposed opening .
home again is built on presumptions of such staggering privilege and naiveté , it ends up coming by much of its comedy accidentally .
despite whatever curb appeal
home again
might have , its address is squarely situated in the most bland hamlet i ' ve seen in a while . it ' s the most uninteresting romantic comedy since whatever adam sandler ' s last film was .
we ' re sorry , you already have an order being processed for this event . please wait a few minutes and try again .
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 .
in a film adaptation of composer michael john lachiusa’s 1994 musical , hello again ( which was inspired by arthur schnitzler’s play der reigen and max ophuls’ oscar - nominated film , la ronde ) , director tom gustafson brings together an all - star cast in this time - travelling gender - bending musical celebrating a century’s worth of unbound sexuality and unrequited love in the heart of the big apple .
begin again is a not - entirely - successful movie about not selling out ; it ' s a theme that must concern carney deeply .
can a meaningful glance mean as much as a kiss ? in this film , it can , and that ' s enough .
posthumous character : daisuke serizawa is mentioned as the inventor of the oxygen destroyer who gave a heroic sacrifice from the previous film .
regional bonus : the 2009 german dvd has the best visual presentation of the film anywhere , although the german version is very slightly cut . ( even despite the film ' s age , japanese telecines don ' t fare all that well in comparison ) .
reese witherspoon is teaming up with a first - time female director to put a modern twist on her romantic - comedy roots in home again .
the blizzard of white privilege that bedecks “home again” is practically blinding ( i counted three ethnically diverse actors in small speaking roles ) . if this sounds
for john carney ,
once
apparently is not enough . the irish writer / director who serenaded the world with that wee dublin fairy - tale sensation from 2006 is back again to tease audiences with another song - filled variation on his signature brand of platonic lust in
begin again .
also known as gojira no gyakushu ( godzilla strikes back ) is the first sequel in the godzilla franchise and the second entry in the showa era , godzilla raids again was made soon after the success of gojira . it ' s notable for introducing the monster anguirus and the tradition of always having godzilla fight another foe . the last black - and - white film , it kept with the grim tone of the previous film .
hello again is directed by tom gustafson and features a script by cory krueckeberg . it made its world premiere at the inside out toronto lgbt film festival june 4 ; subsequent screenings are set to take place throughout the summer in new york , los angeles , san francisco , london , and beyond .

reese is always appealing , but this film is clueless , sexist and at mostly just down right offensive . sorry reese , nothing to like here .
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…
actionized sequel : it ' s still a horror film , but this is where godzilla first fights an opponent who ' s as dangerous as he is . more action scenes are spread throughout the course of the film ' s shorter runtime , most noticeably a convict breakout leading into a rather grindingly slow car chase , and instead of a two - man operation to deploy a chemical weapon underwater , the film climaxes with a furious assault on godzilla by the air defense force .
i was expecting a cheesy film . i am not into musicals so was hesitant to commit to this film , in a theatre . but , i was pleasantly surprised . i find some of ruffalos work , like now you see me , to be hard to sit through . i did not dislike that film , but i hated his performance . part of it was how vapid the character was . in this film it is the opposite . he is charming , roguish , creative , and delightful to watch . quite frankly i did not think knightly was up to this either . was i ever surprised . she was great . well written , well directed , and very good overall . in these days of hollywood losing its edge , and producing more and more low quality , derivative work , it is refreshing to see a film like this one . and i did not even need to use my earplugs . transformer this film was not . thankfully .
reese witherspoon stars as a newly single mother who gets involved with a younger man in the first film by hallie meyers - shyer , daughter of nancy meyers .

despite poor reception by critics and fans , the film became the third most attended entry in japan . the film was dubbed as gigantis , the fire monster , which did things like give godzilla anguirus ' roar in order to convince audiences this wasn ' t a godzilla sequel ( no , really ) , because paul schreibman , who distributed the film through warner brothers , believed that a stand alone film would be more successful . the dub was notable for having george takei , marvin miller , and keye luke among the cast , but it wasn ' t well received and schreibman himself later lamented his decision . depending on your point of view , it ' s either an embarrassment or comedy gold .
production on the film was troubled , [ 15 ] with connery taking on many of the production duties with assistant director david tomblin . [ 6 ] director irvin kershner was critical of producer jack schwartzman , saying that whilst he was a good businessman ,
he didn ' t have the experience of a film producer
. [ 6 ] after the production ran out of money , schwartzman had to fund further production out of his own pocket and later admitted he had underestimated the amount the film would cost to make . [ 15 ]
lena has also gained experience working at noted production companies such as participant productions ( syriana , the kite runner ) and valhalla motion pictures ( the incredible hulk , armageddon ) . responsible for anything from brainstorming film ideas to script development , she gained knowledge of what qualities a film needs to be memorable and successful , and now brings those aspects to her work .
ascended fridge horror : yamane fears due to continuous nuclear testings in the pacific , there might be another godzilla in the world . cue this film and his fear ultimately comes true .
witherspoon is a genuine fireball , and it takes a lot to muffle her high spirits in a blanket of bland . so congratulations , home again . against all odds , you ' ve done it .
the film is cute and funny and light , with really nice messages about love and dreams and family , giving it a classic romantic comedy feel that is the definition of a comfort watch .

reese witherspoon stars in the lighthearted comedy home again . after a drunken one - night stand on her 40th birthday alice , a recently separated single mother , invites three struggling filmmakers to stay in her guest house , and they soon begin to bond with her daughters and become protective of her when her husband attempts a reconciliation . unfortunately the script is rather weak and doesn ' t really explain why alice and her husband separated , leaving the audience uncertain as to whether they should want her to move on or reconcile . in fact , the film plays it safe in almost every way ; there are no villains , no real acts of betrayal , or conflicts that aren ' t easily resolved . and the comedy is pretty tame as well . an entertaining but forgettable film , home again has no ambition or passion to it .
apocalypse wow : unlike the previous film , there ' s no other human casualties aside six criminals and a few jsdf planes . but the scenery gorn in osaka still had its effects upon its inhabitants .
apparently , the most unbelievable part of the film—that alice would allow three strangers to move in with her and her young daughters—actually happened to a woman that meyers - shyer knew . fine . but her job was to make it believable in her movie instead of just a plot contrivance . yes , the casual - chic interior designs shine as much as her mom’s ever did . but i never really felt at home with “home again . ”
people has the exclusive first look at the film , written and directed by a newcomer with an impressive pedigree , hallie meyers - shyer . her mom , nancy meyers , is the director behind hits like something’s gotta give and it’s complicated , as well as the writer of private benjamin . and witherspoon says watching the mother - daughter duo work together ( nancy is a producer on home again ) was her favorite part of the shoot .
hello again directed by tom gustafson ( 2017 ; 105 min ; usa ; color : dcp ; speak productions ; not rated ) starring martha plimpton , rumer willis , t . r . knight , cheyenne jackson , and audra mcdonald
the film , based on michael john lachiusa’s 1994 musical ( itself inspired by arthur schnitzler’s 1897 play la ronde ) , follows a series of ten love affairs and flings throughout various eras in new york city history .
off model : much like the previous film , the monsters ' close - ups are operated by a hand puppet . said close - ups don ' t make them look like an exact match to the suits .
that comparison would be unfair if home again weren ' t so conspicuously working from mom ' s recipe , especially ( meyers is one of the film ' s producers ) . the ingredients are all here , most notably an attractive , affluent protagonist with a pile of first - world problems and a drool - worthy home . but home again has little of the old - fashioned panache or fizz of meyers ' most entertaining movies ( something ' s gotta give , for example ) , or their success in playing to the strengths of the leads . flatly staged , patchily acted and hobbled by a script ( by meyers - shyer ) that substitutes strained cuteness for wit and texture , home again is like a feature - length sitcom sans laughs . it may find an audience — if ever the timing were right for a feel - good fantasy , it would be now — but viewers deserve more from their escapist fluff .
is the type of short film . . . you can ' t help but remember by the time the festival ends and you ' re thinking about your own personal best of the fest flicks .
the independent critic
the music for never say never again was written by michel legrand , who composed a score similar to his work as a jazz pianist . [ 25 ] the score has been criticised as
anachronistic and misjudged
, [ 6 ]
bizarrely intermittent
[ 15 ] and
the most disappointing feature of the film
. [ 7 ] legrand also wrote the main theme
never say never again
, which featured lyrics by alan and marilyn bergman —who had also worked with legrand in the academy award winning song ,
the windmills of your mind
[ 26 ] —and was performed by lani hall [ 7 ] after bonnie tyler , who disliked the song , had reluctantly declined . [ 27 ]
the houston asian american pacific islander film festival ( haapifest ) is houston ' s premiere pan - asian film festival and an immersive , multi - day celebration of film , food and the arts . started in 2004 by oca ( organization of community advocates ) - greater houston , haapifest was created to highlight and celebrate the diversity of the culture , stories , and food of the aapi community , to support aapi artists and filmmakers , and to share the messages , issues , hopes , and dreams of the aapi experience . an intimate display of asian american & pacific islander culture with a uniquely houstonian twist , haapiff provides a compelling addition to houston ' s diverse cultural landscape .
if big - screen raunch fests about girls behaving badly have become the rule ( rough night , girls trip and others ) , home again is the exception : a female - driven comedy so thoroughly sanitized that it ' s essentially wiped of personality .
begin again is a movie starring keira knightley , mark ruffalo , and adam levine . a chance encounter between a disgraced music - business executive and a young singer - songwriter , new to manhattan , turns into a promising collaboration between the two talents .
the film makes a few changes to the james bond universe . mi6 is shown to be underfunded and understaffed , particularly with regards to q - branch , and the character q is referred to by the name
algernon
, and is presumably a different individual than the q in the official bond films ( whose name is major boothroyd ) . the film also appears to take place in an
alternate universe
in which none of the events of you only live twice , on her majesty ' s secret service , diamonds are forever and the opening sequence of for your eyes only have occurred , since blofeld is alive and apparently previously unknown to bond and mi6 . despite sharing many basic similarities with thunderball , the course of events throughout the film are different enough for it to be more than a direct remake , and the action clearly takes place at a much later date ( contemporary with the film ' s production ) .
the film centers on kim tyler , who is set to have the wedding of her dreams in her parents ' backyard , but her ex - husband and first love , whose parents happen to live next door , keeps popping up .
she adds , “i really enjoyed the collaborative process with nancy and hallie . the idea that two women who had a lot of experience making films could help a young woman with her first feature film was very exciting to me . ”
as the credits roll , it can be said that home again is a tight , witty script from a first - time director with a long list of hits ahead of her - and , of course , the golden age of hollywood dynasties lighting her way .

originally , both this film and octopussy were to be released to theatres simultaneously , which led to a brief flurry of media activity regarding the
battle of the bonds
. ultimately , it was decided to separate the two release dates .
home again tells the story of alice kinney , played by witherspoon , who has recently separated from her husband , played by michael sheen . after the split , alice decides to start over by moving back to her hometown of los angeles with her two young daughters .
begin again
is aptly named since it , indeed , recounts the same day over again in its opening sequences before gretta and dan meet after her performance . first , it is told from dan’s point of view as his haphazard behavior negatively affects all he encounters , especially his neglected teen daughter ( hailee steinfeld ) . then we witness gretta’s version , as she learns her squeeze for the past five years has cheated on her . how ? by listening to the lyrics of his new song . see , she is quite the intuitive artiste .

in 1978 the working title james bond of the secret service was being used and connery was in the frame once again , potentially going head - to - head with the next eon bond film , moonraker . [ 12 ] by 1980 , with legal issues again causing the project to founder , [ 6 ] connery thought himself unlikely to play the role , as he stated in an interview in the sunday express :
when i first worked on the script with len i had no thought of actually being in the film
. [ 13 ] when producer jack schwartzman became involved , he asked connery to play bond ; connery agreed , asking ( and getting ) a fee of $ 3 million , ( $ 7 million in 2016 dollars ) a percentage of the profits , as well as casting and script approval . [ 6 ] subsequent to connery reprising the role , the script has several references to bond ' s advancing years – playing on connery being 52 at the time of filming [ 6 ] – and academic jeremy black has pointed out that there are other aspects of age and disillusionment in the film , such as the shrubland ' s porter referring to bond ' s car (
they don ' t make them like that anymore .
) , the new m having no use for the 00 section and q with his reduced budgets . [ 14 ]

many of the elements of the eon - produced bond films were not present in never say never again for legal reasons . these included the gun barrel sequence , where a screen full of 007 symbols appeared instead , and similarly there was no
james bond theme
to use , although no effort was made to supply another tune . [ 7 ] a pre - credits sequence was filmed but not used ; [ 15 ] instead the film opens with the credits run over the top of the opening sequence of bond on a training mission . [ 6 ]

demoted to extra : despite appearing in the japanese poster , kyohei yamane ( takashi shimura ) only appears in one scene to discuss how to deal with godzilla after the previous event became a disaster . after that , he does not appear for the rest of the film .
love triangle : tsukioka is engaged to hidemi yamaji while kobayashi secretly pines for her . unlike the previous film where there were consequences that followed , kobayashi eventually became a hopeless suitor in a different way , and sees himself out . however , hidemi does mourn for him .
former eon productions ' editor and director of on her majesty ' s secret service , peter r . hunt , was approached to direct the film but declined due to his previous work with eon . [ 20 ] irvin kershner , who had achieved success in 1980 with the empire strikes back was then hired . a number of the crew from the 1981 film raiders of the lost ark were also appointed , including first assistant director david tomblin , director of photography douglas slocombe and production designers philip harrison and stephen grimes .

when it premiered at the toronto international film festival last fall , was the sight of mark ruffalo ’s scruffy record - label exec , dan , as he doffs his undies before jumping into the shower . no one can blame catherine keener , in yet another of her string of estranged bitter wife roles ( ok , she is good at them ) , for sneaking a sly peek after turning down his offer to join him in his sudsing .
the film is notable for depicting felix leiter , bond ' s cia colleague , as an african - american , something which would not occur in the eon series until casino royale in 2006 . the film also makes a major departure from official continuity by ending with bond indicating his intention to retire from mi6 - while bond had considered retirement in on her majesty ' s secret service , he is shown to be unsure of the decision and later chooses to stay with the service . in the scene where bond states his intention to quit , connery breaks the fourth wall by winking at the camera ; while this is incorrectly considered by many as being unique to this film , george lazenby was in fact the first bond to break the fourth wall almost 15 years earlier when he told the audience ,
this never happened to the other fellow
( referring to connery , the man he had replaced as bond ) .
lena ' s popularity as a music video director stems from her ability to create projects with captivating stories and production values far beyond their modest budgets . she now channels her experience in music videos into bringing a unique visual style to her film , and has honed an acute ability to reach into the international marketplace .
the latest film from writer - director john carney ( once ) , begin again is a soul - stirring comedy about what happens when lost souls meet and make beautiful music together . gretta ( keira knightley ) and her long - time boyfriend dave ( adam levine ) are college sweethearts and songwriting partners who decamp for new york when he lands a deal with a major label . but the trappings of his new - found fame soon tempt dave to stray , and a reeling , lovelorn gretta is left on her own . her world takes a turn for the better when dan ( mark ruffalo ) , a disgraced record - label exec , stumbles upon her performing on an east village stage and is immediately captivated by her raw talent . from this chance encounter emerges an enchanting portrait of a mutually transformative collaboration , set to the soundtrack of a summer in new york city . begin again is produced and financed by exclusive media and produced by anthony bregman , tobin armbrust and judd apatow .

the flying saucer , largo ' s ship , is a translation of
the disco volante
, the name of largo ' s ship in thunderball . in this film , the disco volante is a formidable vessel clearly based on a military cruiser hull , with a helipad and scale which dramatically dwarf the vessel present in the official film continuity . the disco is still the base of underwater operations by largo . in real life , the ship used in long shots was known as the
nabila
and was build for saudi billionaire , adnan kashoggi . the craft was later sold to donald trump who christened it the
trump princess .
“home again , ” a lifestyle comedy with a soupçon of pain , stars reese witherspoon as a perky los angeles mother of two coping with a perky divorce and perky career problems ( let’s pause and take a breath before we get to her perky love life ) . it’s the first feature written and directed by hallie meyers - shyer , whose [ … ]
recounting her first experience at the fest , aishwarya said :
we attended the festival not just as artistes but as proud representatives of indian cinema , and showcasing a film that meant so much to us . the kind of reception we got for the movie was truly overwhelming and i will cherish it all my life .
bittersweet ending : godzilla is defeated , but at the cost of tsukioka ' s best friend ' s life . the film ends on a rather somber note as tsukioka pulls his f86 away , concluding with a slow zoom out of kamiko island . gigantis , with the magic of stock footage , ends on a decidedly forced , lighter note .
early installment weirdness : while some of these are de facto traits carried over from the previous film , godzilla still has his low pitched bellows , his fins don ' t light up when he breathes the heat - ray ( shortsightedness on behalf of the spfx crew ) , and he and his opponent are portrayed through puppetry much more frequently .
with its cast of extremely likable performers , the perfect summer - in - the - city backdrop—in this case , new york—and a soundtrack stuffed with catchy , well - produced hits ,
begin again
makes for easy - breezy entertainment . and it provides the perfect alternative to certain obnoxious boy toys that will be mangling the box office into their own private playpen this weekend .
home again stars reese witherspoon as alice kinney in a modern romantic comedy . recently separated from her husband , ( michael sheen ) , alice decides to start over by moving back to her hometown of los angeles with her two young daughters . during a night out on her 40th birthday , alice meets three aspiring filmmakers who happen to be in need of a place to live . alice agrees to let the guys stay in her guest house temporarily , but the arrangement ends up unfolding in unexpected ways . alice ' s unlikely new family and new romance comes to a crashing halt when her ex - husband shows up , suitcase in hand . home again is a story of love , friendship , and the families we create . and one very big life lesson : starting over is not for beginners .
compounding that lack of tension is the movie ' s genericism — its insipid writing and pedestrian direction , as well as the all but nonexistent chemistry between witherspoon and alexander . the latter is too slick by half , a cookie - cutter cutie without a glimmer of authentic personality . ( home again might have been more interesting had the less conventionally dreamy wolff or rudnitsky been cast as the love interest ) .
witherspoon doesn ' t have much to play with , though she gets to let loose in a scene that finds her drunkenly telling off one of her clients , a passive - aggressive yoga - mom snob played with gleeful obnoxiousness by lake bell . that character is a welcome shot of mischief ( she has a daughter named gwyneth ; make of that what you will ) in a movie that ' s otherwise nice to the point of numbness . at the same time , the send - up of suburban socal privilege feels disingenuous since the whole film — its people , situations and sensibilities — exists within that same realm of clueless entitlement . it ' s perhaps unsurprising that , apart from one fleeting exception , there ' s not a person of color in sight ; home again is vanilla in more ways than one .
characterization marches on : since this godzilla will become the one in the 60 ' s and 70 ' s , in this film , his character ranged from an animalistic creature who is destructive as hell to a superhero with anthropomorphic tendencies . yes , this the same godzilla of the 60 ' s and mid ' 70 ' s of later films . his heisei counterpart remains the same creature he ' s always been .
for the main villain in the film , maximillian largo , connery suggested klaus maria brandauer , the lead of the 1981 academy award - winning hungarian film mephisto . [ 7 ] through the same route came max von sydow as ernst stavro blofeld , [ 15 ] although he still retained his eon - originated white cat in the film . [ 16 ] for the femme fatale , director irvin kershner selected former model and playboy cover girl barbara carrera to play fatima blush – the name coming from one of the early scripts of thunderball . [ 6 ] carrera ' s performance as fatima blush earned her a golden globe award nomination for best supporting actress , [ 17 ] which she lost to cher for her role in silkwood . [ 18 ] micheline connery , sean ' s wife , had met up - and - coming actress kim basinger at a hotel in london and suggested her to connery , which he agreed upon . [ 6 ] for the role of felix leiter , connery spoke with bernie casey , saying that as the leiter role was never remembered by audiences , using a black leiter might make him more memorable . [ 7 ] others cast included comedian rowan atkinson , who would later parody bond in his role of johnny english . [ 19 ]
a higher budget and actual stars allow carney to add a not - displeasing gloss to
begin again
and he has terrific taste in actors , including james corden as gretta’s busking buddy who is about to break out in
one chance
and
into the woods
later this year . and , yes , knightley can warble well enough in a feathery emo - rock way about assorted heartaches—imagine alanis morrisette after downing too many breath mints and a valium .
usually there is nothing wrong with indulgent escapism as a cinematic commodity . but it’s probably more than a little tone deaf right now to trot out to see a cream - puffy hollywood rom - com fantasy involving coddled well - off people . consider that one of the bigger setbacks faced by at least three characters at some point in “home again” is that they choose to eat cold leftover lasagna straight out of the same red le creuset pan . oh , the humanity .
: tsukioka has a knack for this : 9 minutes into the film , he and kobayashi encounter godzilla and anguirus on iwato island ; they encounter the police officers chasing after prisoners who had just escaped using a truck , and tsukioka finds godzilla while the whole air force is looking for him . while the last one was justified , the other 2 are an odd coincidence . steve ryfle on the classic media commentary lampshaded this .
the film opens with a middle - aged , yet still athletic james bond making his way through an armed camp in order to rescue a girl who has been kidnapped . after killing the kidnappers , bond lets his guard down , forgetting that the girl might have been subject to stockholm syndrome ( in which a kidnapped person comes to identify with his / her kidnappers ) and is stabbed to death by her . or so it seems .
alice ( reese witherspoon ) , a recently separated mother of two , finds her life upended when three young , charismatic filmmakers move into her guest house . but her unlikely new family and a budding romance come to a crashing halt when her ex - husband shows up , suitcase in hand . a story of love , friendship , and the families we create ,

when producer kevin mcclory had first planned the film in 1964 he held initial talks with richard burton for the part of bond , [ 11 ] although the project came to nothing because of the legal issues involved . when the warhead project was launched in the late 1970s , a number of actors were mentioned in the trade press , including orson welles for the part of blofeld , trevor howard to play m and richard attenborough as director . [ 6 ]
the film features an all - star cast that also includes candice bergen and lake bell , along with a few young newcomers . “the cast was incredibly talented and fun to be with , ” witherspoon says . “the three young men who were cast — pico alexander , nat wolff and jon rudnitsky — brought so much energy , humor and creativity to their roles . it was really exciting to get to work with a new generation of talented actors . ”
the rest of home again plays out precisely as you expect : alice gets her groove back through her affair with harry , while the dudes try to make it in hollywood without compromising their , um , artistic integrity . there are hiccups and hitches along the way , all of the deja vu variety : harry gets caught up having drinks with some producers and misses a date with alice ; alice struggles to kick her interior decorating career into high gear ; austen reappears and tries to win alice back .
never again is a romantic comedy about falling in love despite your better judgment . an exterminator and jazz pianist in the noble model of gary cooper and other ' 40 ' s screen legends , christopher is having a sexual identity crisis . he hasn ' t been able to perform with the young women he ' s been dating , and is looking for sexual inspiration . grace , an administrator for mentors of new york , sends her final child off to college and then realizes that she hasn ' t tended to her own needs in a very long time . when christopher meets grace at a gay bar , her best friends admonish her that it ' s not a good idea to start a heterosexual relationship with a man you meet in a gay bar . through human insecurities and foibles , and the refreshing reminder that the boomer generation is still very much sexually viable , christopher and grace defy the odds of it never happening again . in a real , meaningful and adult fashion , they fall in love .

this scene also prevented author john gardner from having a somewhat similar scene involving bond playing a computer game over a lan in gardner ' s novel role of honour . bond was supposed to be playing a simulation of
the battle of waterloo
, this was later changed to a different type of game involving
the battle of bunker hill
. interestingly , the battle of waterloo would also play a part in the later official bond film , the living daylights .

never say never again had its origins in the early 1960s , following the controversy over the 1961 thunderball novel . [ 1 ] fleming had worked with independent producer kevin mcclory and scriptwriter jack whittingham on a script for a potential bond film , to be called longitude 78 west , [ 2 ] which was subsequently abandoned because of the costs involved . [ 3 ] fleming ,
always reluctant to let a good idea lie idle
, [ 3 ] turned this into the novel thunderball , for which he did not credit either mcclory or whittingham ; [ 4 ] mcclory then took fleming to the high court in london for breach of copyright [ 4 ] and the matter was settled in 1963 . [ 2 ] after eon productions started producing the bond films , it subsequently made a deal with mcclory , who would produce thunderball , and then not make any further version of the novel for a period of ten years following the release of the eon - produced version in 1965 . [ 5 ]
yet even the swardson bits are more tolerable this time out ( after a bungled stunt early in the movie , sandy insists on his client’s behalf that the sky be cleared of “all birds” before he performs again ) . this is the least vulgar and least bullying sandler movie in ages ; the only vestige of typical happy madison crassness is the glaze of sentiment , which smothers the material far less than usual . maybe it’s a question of drastically lowered expectations finally working to sandler’s advantage , but sandy wexler is disarming in its charms .
they start dating — sort of . but more than that , alice agrees to let harry and his partners move into her guest house , because … why not ? after all , it’s not as if her kids , her divorce , and her new career are keeping her busy . when george , the screenwriter , stumbles into her dad’s old study , jammed with movie posters and film reels , he acts as if he’d just learned that her father was orson welles . ( really ? making commercial american comedies in the late 1970s ? ) and when harry tells alice’s mother that he himself is a filmmaker , and bergen puts a dry spin on the line “everybody is ! we’re in l . a . , ” harry shoots her a look that says , yes , but our film is in black - and - white ! the three dudes are portrayed as millennial saints who become alice’s pals , neighbors , chauffeurs , and babysitters , as the movie seeks to turn itself into a sitcom called “four’s company . ”
at 17 mike o ' donnell is on top of the world : he ' s the star of his high school basketball team , is a shoo - in for a college scholarship , and is dating his soul - mate , scarlet . but at what ' s supposed to be his big game where a college scout is checking him out , scarlet reveals that she ' s pregnant . mike decides to leave the game and asks scarlet to marry him , which she does . during their marriage , mike can only whine about the life he lost because he married her , so she throws him out . when he also loses his job , he returns to the only place he ' s happy at , his old high school . while looking at his high school photo , a janitor asks him if he wishes he could be 17 again and he says yes . one night while driving he sees the janitor on a bridge ready to jump , and goes after him . when he returns to his friend ned ' s house , where he has been staying , he sees that he is 17 again . he decides to take this opportunity to get the life he lost .
