oozham ends up being a mediocre film though it tries to be a lot more , says paresh c palicha .
prithviraj ' s last film was jeethu joseph ' s revenge thriller
oozham
which opened to lukewarm reviews .
the trailer of the film would go live on youtube at 7pm tomorrow evening . the first official teaser of the film was released on july 6 , 2016 and it did garner wide appreciations . the teaser has crossed 6 lakh views on youtube now .
the makers are planning to release the movie on september 8 , 2016 . incidentally , mohanlal ' s oppam would also be released on the same day .
after completing life of josutty ( 2015 ) director jeethu joseph announced his next film entitled oozham which features prithviraj sukumaran in the lead . the film marks the second collaboration of jeethu and prithviraj who had worked earlier in the 2013 crime thriller film memories . [ 10 ] [ 11 ] the director delineate the film is not a thriller like his previous films , it is a revenge drama with some action . [ 12 ]
according to the reports , oozham is touted to be a revenge drama and would be not on the lines of a suspense thriller . jeethu joseph had recently stated that the suspense factor of the film would be revealed within the first ten minutes of the film . jeethu joseph and prithviraj team ' s previous film memories was an investigative thriller .
mohanlal films are always touted as festival releases for the malayalam film audience . and when the superstar collaborated with his favorite director priyadarshan for oppam , the sky was the limit for the blockbuster actor - director duo that had delivered more than 25 successful films at the box office . oppam was the first malayalam release for lalettan in 2016 and the film had a grand welcome at the kerala box office . the mohanlal - priyadarshan film , has overpowered the opening week collections of nivin pauly ' s premam . at the end of 11 theatrical days , oppam has minted a whopping rs 18 crore at the kerala box office , which is an earth - shattering response considering that that film had to battle out with six major onam releases . the word - of - mouth of the film is super strong and will help the film beat the life - time collections of 2016 ' s top malayalam grosser , jacobinte swargarajyam .

the film had done good business in rest of india market as well and it will release in overseas as well , from today .
the film dealt with the story of an indian army officer guarding a picket alone in kashmir , and his friendship with a pakistani soldier .
they believe the credit goes to the sheer hard work of the team behind the film and not to the buzz their recent marriage created .
jeethu had told us that oozham is not a suspense thriller but a tale of revenge told with an action mood . the movie stars
jeethu joseph , the master director in mollywood had come up with the revenge drama named oozham in this onam season and young super star prithviraj sukumaran had played the lead in the movie . the film was produced by fine tune pictures and it had received decent reviews from the audience . even though the burden of expectation had made a section of the audience disappointed , the film is doing good business in box office .

it is hard to believe that the man who made drishyam and papanasam could come up with this tripe . image courtesy : oozham facebook page
the film though is not free from flaws — something you would not expect from a veteran like jeethu . the action and blast sequences are amaeuterish and the dubbing does not always sync with the lip movements . there is even a scene where a character who is supposedly dead flutters his eyelashes in a close - up . the camera work by shamdat is praiseworthy . oozham is definitely a film that stands out for its swift execution .
“some years ago , i had acted in ansar’s short film and sujith was the cinematographer . it is our friendship from those years that made sujith remember me when he took a film . ” kishor plays dr alexander , husband of alice’s sister mercy . “dr alexander runs the house when james and alice leave to start their lives together , he interferes when they have issues . ” it is a character that’s there throughout the film . in gemini too , he gets an important role . he is in fact one of the three main leads in the film along with renji panicker and sijoy .
# oozham revenge story decently made liked it . dont expect much twist and turns . but it ll keep you hooked till the end . good
# oozham its just a matter of time . . . . perfect direction by # jeethu . . . . kidu kidu . . . .
# oozham : usual revenge drama without much thrills . avg as a muvi but coming from jeethu , quiet a disappointment . @ prithviofficial was gud
oozham – it’s just a matter of time is directed by jeethu joseph who has been the toast of the national film circuit since the release of drishyam starring mohanlal in 2013 . that film was so finely crafted , well - written , well - acted and entertaining that it was appreciated by both audiences and reviewers , including those who criticised joseph for not acknowledging what they believed was his inspiration , the japanese novel the devotion of suspect x . the malayalam drishyam was remade in four indian languages , and joseph himself helmed the tamil remake papanasam with kamal haasan , arguably an even better film than the first . how do you go from that to this ? how do you go from drishyam to oozham in a span of just three years ? how ?
billed as a story of happiness , family , friendship and revenge , malayalam writer / director jeethu joseph’s latest film defies easy categorisation . since it reunites him with ‘memories’ star prithviraj , many fans anticipated another thiller . but after that film and the mega - hit ‘drishyam’ , versatile jeethu has been eager not to become pigeonholed as a director of straightforward thrillers . indeed , his previous release , ‘life of josutty’ , was an inspirational entertainer . while keeping plot details under wraps , he’s described ‘oozham’ as a revenge drama with plenty of fights and action , but not one that qualifies as a generic action film .
shockingly mediocre fare from a very promising filmmaker ! ! guess you cant do much to help the film when the story is as old as the hills .
# oozham : quite an engaging thriller . the story may be stale , but the terrific narration and a share of boom moments make it worthwhile .
prithviraj starrer oozham too hits the jackpot at the kerala box office . the dhrishyam maker , jeethu joseph ' s new directorial was rock steady despite many new onam releases in the last week . the film has so far minted a good rs 9 . 50 crore at the kerala box office and will cross the rs 10 crore mark within next two days . the film also delivered second hit in a row for prithviraj - jeethu joseph duo after the blockbuster memories .
janatha garage , a malayalam remake of telugu film that goes by the same name is directed by koratala siva , who has paired lalettan and ntr - jr . at the first sight the film seems like a suspense - thriller with a background music that goes with a flow . we also see a glimpse of the macho - man ntr - jr . the film , which also stars samantha ruth prabhu and saikumar in the lead roles , is set to release on august 12 .
oozham is a malayalam language thriller about a man seeking revenge on the ceo of a pharmaceutical company after his family were attacked and killed in their home .
dileep - starrer life of josutty was jeethu’s latest outing in malayalam . according to the sources close with the project , oozham will start rolling from april .
verdict : a light - hearted film that is also thought - provoking . director binu s . embarks on a different trip after ithihasa and style with . . .
# aadhi ( malayalam 2018 ) average thriller film by # jeethujoseph . super acting @ impranavlal . wafer thin story . action stunts & parkour scenes are absolutely brilliant .
summary oozham is a malayalam language thriller about a man seeking revenge on the ceo of a pharmaceutical company after his family were attacked and killed in their home .
# oozham : ) usual story line but unusual kind of making and filled with many cliches ! ! still its entertaining : ) by comparing to other jeethu joseph movies , oozham is not up to that : / good perfo by prithviraj . watchable one ( y ) ; ) go for it with less expectations ! !
after four consecutive super hits , prithviraj is all set to join hands with film maker jeethu joseph , who has earlier called the shots for the actor’s thriller movie memories .
if
drishyam
, a tightly - knit thriller about a man and his family who cover up a murder , was all about the plot ,
oozham
is all about what can happen when the plot goes awol . despite prithviraj ' s considerable screen presence , the film suffers because the storyline simply does not match up .
vikram ' s action packed anand shankar film produced and distributed by shibu thameens has taken a good opening and held on well for a week . it had also an early start by releasing on september 8 and could cash in due to vikram ' s all round promotions in kerala . the nayanthara factor also helped the film to generate a huge opening .

# oozham : definitely better than what the reviews said . you ' ll like it more if you favor jeethu joseph ' s serious style which is here in full .
malayalam director jeethu joseph has been playing down expectations for
oozham
, warning the audience not to expect another
drishyam
. he was right to do so .
a cobweb , oozham , the movie title written over it and the tag line . . . ` it ` s just a matter of time ` e . . .
“oozham definitely is not a thriller . it’s more of a revenge drama with the right amount of action in it . it has fight sequences , but you can’t call it an out - and - out action film either , ” jeethu posted on his facebook page . divya pillai , who made her debut opposite fahad fazil in ayal njanalla is the lead actress . neeraj madhav , irshad , sreejith ravi and tamil artistes sampath and jayaprakash are also part of the cast . hyderabad , coimbatore , chennai and ernakulam are the main locations for the film .
after memories , jeethu has collaborated with mohanlal for drishyam and it has become a one of the huge hits in m’town and later he remade the same film with kamal hassan in tamil .
it remains to be seen if jeethu joseph can recreate the magic he made with drishyam , but the teaser trailer for oozham is packed with the elements that made drishyam a success .
as an american crime show junkie , this film made me want to scream in exasperation at the tackiness of the proceedings and team oozham ’s lack of even a skeletal knowledge of criminal investigations and procedures . forget that , this film lacks an understanding of simple questions relating to computers and the social media . these days i am watching season 13 of law and order : special victims unit ( svu ) starring mariska hargitay – one of my all - time favourites – and i would like to apologise to the makers because i grumbled to a friend this week that the quality of the writing in svu has declined since season 1 . i apologise because svu exists on the same planet as oozham and i was still finicky enough to fuss about it .
dileep is the darling of the masses but his onam release welcome to central jail disappointed almost everyone . but the janapriya nayakan’s popularity among kids and family audiences ensured the film a good opening . welcome to central jail , opened on saturday two days after oppam and oozham , which proved to be a disadvantage . anyway along with satellite rights it would be a profitable venture .
there is also an untitled film by joe eshwar waiting kishor . but with all the film projects , he has not left television . “there is the serial karuthamuthu on asianet , i do only one television project at a time . ” and kishor also has his cricket to take care of , he is the team captain of atma ( association of television media artistes in malayalam ) .
i was excited that prithviraj’s onam malayalam release oozham [ turn ] was coming to chicago , but i was forewarned that it wasn’t his best film . i didn’t care . i was still excited to see prithviraj on the big screen for the first time . i have not yet seen writer director jeethu joseph‘s previous films drishyam ( mohanlal ) or memories ( prithviraj ) . from the reviews i’ve read , and especially this savage 1 / 2 star take down by anna vetticad , the disappointment in oozham is particularly acute because jeethu joseph’s previous films have been so great .
it has been pretty long since filmmaker priyadarshan ruled the box office like the way his latest offering oppam fared . he teamed up with his lucky mascot , superstar mohanlal , in this crime thriller . the hero , who had no other malayalam releases in 2016 before oppam ( both vismayam and janatha garage were telugu films ) , played a blind man . the script had quite a few loose ends , but oppam set the cash registers ringing .
just finished watching oozham excellent first half with crisp editing and average second half , technical side it ' s top notch the tempo goes down in the second half . prithviraj delivers a decent performance
“that’s again come through ansar , and also prithviraj who recommended me after james and alice . ” the fourth film vella kaduva sees him in a smaller role . “but that’s by my guru jose thomas who introduced me in films through youth festival . i would accept any role he gives , even if it is a passing shot . ” ansar too is making a film where kishor will play a guest role .
let this be clear . oozham is no drishyam by any means . this one has its moments but one gets the feeling that it could have been better scripted . now decide on your own .
there is no real suspense here and it is evident quite early on who the baddies are . how surya and his friends give them back the pain that they suffered , is what the film talks about .
oozham ,
which also stars divya pillai , rasna pavithran , balachandra menon , neeraj madhav , seetha and pashupathy in key roles , is one of the most anticipated onam releases of the year .
meanwhile , revenge thriller

oppam is followed by revenge thriller oozham , directed by drishyam - fame jeethu joseph . the movie is said to have collected rs 15 . 25 crore after successfully running for 25 days in the state .
prithviraj stars in jeethu joseph ' s powerful malayalam revenge drama . billed as a story of happiness , family , friendship and revenge , malayalam writer / director jeethu joseph ' s latest film defies easy categorisation . since it reunites him with ' memories ' star prithviraj , many fans anticipated another thiller . but after that film and the mega - hit ' drishyam ' , versatile jeethu has been eager not to become pigeonholed as a director of straightforward thrillers . indeed , his previous release , ' life of josutty ' , was an inspirational entertainer . while keeping plot details under wraps , he ' s described ' oozham ' as a revenge drama with plenty of fights and action , but not one that qualifies as a generic action film . shot in locations that include hyderabad , coimbatore , chennai and ernakulam , the film ' s female lead is divya pillai , who was first seen opposite fahad fazil in ‘ayal njanalla’ . rasna pavithran makes her movie debut alongside neeraj madhav in key roles as the siblings of busy , multiple award - winning prithviraj ' s character .
simply brilliant one , nothing more to say .
its just a matter of time
! do watch it , different faces of revenge in jeethu joseph style - oozham ) : a complete revenge drama .
a plot that has been seen many a time — a happy family that is annihilated by the villain who leaves just the son to take revenge . oozham starring prithviraj in the lead and directed by jeethu joseph follows this simple straightforward formula . unlike his earlier offering drishyam , jeethu does not keep the viewers in any suspense about the plot . the antagonists are revealed early on in the film but what makes oozham engaging is not the ‘who’ and ‘why’ but ‘how’ aspect . for all those complaining about the disappearance of parents and sibling characters from the big screen , jeethu focuses on family through this drama sans any cuss words or double entrendes .
hen one of your films has created history at the box - office , you are always under pressure to repeat that kind of success every time you make a new film . you can sense that kind of pressure while watching
the film begins explosively enough - yes , there ' s a bomb involved . prithviraj appears as the smoke clears . and we ' re introduced to surya krishnamoorthy , a man with a tragic past . it turns out that as in
memories
( prithviraj ' s earlier film with jeethu joseph ) , his family has been killed right in front of his eyes . only , this time around , surya witnesses it all through a webcam .

oozham is the latest jeethu joseph movie , the director of the blockbuster movie drishyam , which released in 2013 . prithviraj sukumaran plays the lead role in this revenge drama and it is the fourth movie for this talented actor this year after pavada , darvinte parinamam and james & alice . joseph ' s previous suspense thrillers like drishyam and memories lead to high expectations of this director . however , he fails to meet them with oozham .
jeethu says fans wouldn’t be disappointed anyhow . “i wouldn’t claim that the film will be some out - of - this - world narrative . but there will be elements that will keep you glued to it , ” says jeethu .
drishyam
is a hard act to follow but the disappointment with
oozham
is independent of that . this is a bomb that comes defused and sadly , we ' re nowhere at the edge of our seats .
from the trailer , it appears that the film is about a jewish man named abraham ezra and the mystery surrounding his death . his spirit
dislocated from his body
in 1941 ad , as a printed piece of paper tells us .
“it’s actually in a film called gemini that i act ed after the long gap but that’s only going to release , ” kishor says . james and alice had come to him through a common friend he has with director sujith vaassudev , ansar khan .
following mixed reviews for
oozham
and his fans taking to social media to retaliate against the criticism , prithviraj had recently requested them not to do such things . he said that he was embarrassed by their attack on other actors too .
jeethu joseph’s 2013 film drishyam ( “visual” ) caused a sensation in the malayalam film industry ( from the state of kerala in the south of india ) when it became a smashing box office success – it managed to revive the flagging career of complete actor mohanlal and its box office record take of over 60 crore rupees remains unbeaten . it went on to remakes in four other indian languages , including a tamil version , papanasam ( “destruction of sins” ) starring tamil superstar kamal haasan and directed by joseph himself .
malayalam actor prithviraj is all set to make his directorial debut . and guess who will star in his first film as director ? mohanlal ! this is seen as a big announcement in the malayalam industry as prithviraj has always spoken about becoming a movie director .
it is after around three years’ gap prithvi and jeethu are teaming up for a movie - oozham . prithvi has revealed the title through his facebook page with a caption — “getting back together with a friend . let’s crack this one jeethu ! ”
why you should watch this movie the actor - director duo of jeethu joseph and prithviraj is back after their first movie , memories , another suspense thriller . if you want to see some good acting by prithviraj , go for oozham this weekend .
kuchacko boban revived his home production banner udaya pictures with kochauvva paulo ayyappa coelho . jude anthany joseph’s return to direction after the breezy ohm shanthi oshaan . the film took a poor opening due to lacklustre content and bad release strategy of pitting it against biggies in a festival season . another film that suffered and did not get an opening was oru muthassi gadha , which also had no big stars in its cast . releasing days after oppam established itself as a hit also proved to be a costly mistake for both the films .

oozham ’s screenplay saddles the actors with the most absurdly gauche lines ever written in english for a malayalam film – lines so bad that they immediately reminded me of another mollywood disaster from recent months , uday ananthan’s white starring mammootty and huma qureshi . it is hard to believe that someone has actually matched mammukka’s prakash roy telling the heroine of white on her birthday , “i never wanted to be the first person to wish you , neither the last . but i wanted to be a person to wish you . ”
among the onam releases this year , it is mohanlal ' s crime thriller oppam that has become the highest grosser of the festive season . it is followed by prithviraj sukumaran ' s revenge thriller oozham , which has been garnering positive response from audience .
after his thriller hits memories and drishyam , jeethu joseph is all set for his new one . the success of kamal haasan - starrer papanasam makes fans expect more of the same genre from his latest - oozham . at least the uncanny poster speaks so .
mohanlal ' s
oppam
and prithviraj sukumaran ' s
oozham
have continued their good run at the kerala box office . among the onam releases , the priyadarshan - directorial has become the winner of the season with tremendous collections since sept . 8 .
surya krishnamoorthy ( prithviraj ) is an engineer based in united states , who is an expert in using explosives for technical purposes . the initial portions of the film are about his visit to his home , where his tamil brahmin family is getting ready for his sister ' s marriage .
it feels as if every frame of this film is saying that this should be better than drishyam ( 2013 ) . in drishyam , a virtually illiterate man takes on the powers that be to protect his family . here a youngster uses his technical knowledge to avenge the murder of his family .
after the detective , memories and drishyam , jeethu joseph has again proved that he is a master in making thriller / family drama . gripping background music made the movie in an interesting way and the climax is extraordinary . the only negative i felt is the film lags at some scenes for making thrilled , but utterly failed . as the director says ,
who
and
why
are known and the
how
makes you watch the movie interestingly till the end . overall , oozham is one of the grippy thriller that ever made in malayalam . 4 / 5
the combined total collection of all films after the onam weekend was a massive rs 47 crore , which is now the highest ever in the malayalam film history . and as expected , mohanlal ' s oppam creates history by emerging the all - time top opening week record at the kerala box office .
shot in locations that include hyderabad , coimbatore , chennai and ernakulam , the film’s female lead is divya pillai , who was first seen opposite fahad fazil in ‘ayal njanalla’ . rasna pavithran makes her movie debut alongside neeraj madhav in key roles as the siblings of busy , multiple award - winning prithviraj’s character .
in an interview with manorama online , jeethu joseph spelt out his assessment of oozham . it is a revenge story . in terms of a script , we dont claim any novelty . in world cinema , revenge has been a popular theme . we worked on that base , the director said .
the onam releases â€”
oppam ,
oozham
and
iru mugan
â€” have been performing well at the box office in kerala upon their release on sept . 8 . the big - budget movies are competing against each other to become the winners during the festive season in the state .
that felt really really sudden ! it would have been so easy to just tack something on with neeraj , divya , and prithviraj moving into the country house and starting life fresh or something ! this ending was just plain weird . and , well , kind of lazy and “good enough” , just like the rest of the film .
even though jeethu has stated that
oozham
doesn ' t have any surprise factor like his blockbuster movie
drishyam ,
audience have been expecting it to be a thrilling entertainer that will make a mark at the box office . the trailer and video song of the revenge thriller have already impressed the audience .
the much awaited onam weekend finally comes to an end on a rocking note at the kerala box office . the 11 - day - long festival period saw more than seven releases , including mohanlal ' s oppam , vikram ' s iru mugan , dileep ' s welcome to central jail and prithviraj ' s oozham .
i didn’t hate oozham like anna , but i certainly don’t love it either . it’s okay — and with prithviraj , i also would expect better than okay . the man has made what , 100 films ? i’ve only been watching the cream of the crop , and they can’t all be at the level of mumbai police .
jeethu josephs oozham , is a revenge family drama with the right amount of action in it . this action entertainer stars prithviraj in the lead role as surya . neeraj madhav does a full length character named ajmal , along with prithviraj . balachandr menon as krishna murthy , divya pillai and new face rasna , have other prominent roles .
prithviraj does nothing in the film that will elevate his stock as an actor . he has to be the good boy next door , and he does so with ease . neeraj madhav as the goofy younger sibling is just his usual self . balachandra menon , an old man with a lot going on in his mind does create a mystery around himself .
the sundar dass ' directorial , welcome to central jail opened to negative reviews at the kerala box office . the film was criticised heavily for its poor content and low comedy . but , wait ! it has not affected the dileep - starrer at the box office . yes , welcome to central jail once again proved that negative reviews can ' t affect the collection of a dileep film . the no - brainer - comedy - entertainer minted rs 9 crore at the kerala box office and earned another hit for malayalam cinema ' s janapriyanayakan after two countries and king liar . like his previous two hit films , wtcj is also set to cross the rs 10 crore mark soon at the kerala box office .
jeethu joseph’s films are much awaited by the malayali viewers , especially after my boss , memories and the spectacular drishyam . the expectations were sky high as jeethu teamed up with prithviraj to play the lead in a revenge drama . the film received mixed reviews but the collections were reasonably good , as it had an early mover advantage of releasing on september 8 .
here is a quick look at the onam box office . we will not publish the figures as all of them are highly exaggerated and unbelievable . how can 100 to 120 screens playing a malayalam film in kerala get rs 15 cr plus gross collections in a week ' s time ? the ratings are purely based on the pressure cinema theaters in kerala experienced during onam season .
verdict : fails to impress . oozham is the latest jeethu joseph movie , the director of the blockbuster movie drishyam , which released in 2013 . prithviraj sukumaran plays the lead role in this revenge drama and it is the fourth movie for this talented actor this year after pavada , darvinte parinamam and james & alice . joseph ' s previous suspense [ ] . . .
we have done two films together — masti was a commercial success and tujhe meri kasam initially did not do well , but if you ask a trade analyst , you will find that since there was no dvd and satellite rights for the film , it is still being shown in many towns . so , our marriage has no connection to the success of [ tere naal . . . ] ,
said deshmukh .
# oozham - jeethu joseph . . who is mastered in making thriller movies is back again with an absolute stunner ! ! engaging , gripping and thrilling . . but is completely different from memories and drishyam . . a revenge story which is all about how he ' ll do it . . ! grab your tickets if you want to see something different from usual flicks . . loved it . . rating : 3 . 75 / 5
the conversations in oozham are conducted in a mix of malayalam , tamil and bombastic , grammatically poor english . the corrupt industrialist wilfred marquez ( jayaprakash vittal ) , for instance , glares at a hired hand and bellows , “how dare ! ” at him , because i suppose the pronoun “you” at the end of that sentence would have required too much of an effort . he does this twice , not once – yes , i counted .
# oozham - jeethu joseph . . who is mastered in making thriller movies is back again with an absolute stunner ! ! engaging , gripping and thrilling . . but is completely different from memories and drishyam . . a revenge story which is all about how he ' ll do it . . ! grab your tickets if you want to see something different from usual flicks . . last but not least # prithviraj he is just awesome love u rajuetta
okay , so where was i ? oh yes , oozham . surya krishnamoorthy ( prithviraj sukumaran ) is home on a break from his job in the us to spend time with his family – his father krishnamoorthy ( balachandra menon ) who is a health department official in tamil nadu , his mother subbahlakshmy and sister aiswarya . soon after , tragedy strikes them and the family of krishnamoorthy’s friend , the honest top cop sp parthasarthy ( kishore sathya ) .
meanwhile , prithviraj sukumaran ' s
oozham
has earned an approximate amount of rs . 7 . 34 lakh on its second day at the multiplexes in kochi , taking its total to rs . 16 . 9 lakh in two days . jeethu joseph ' s revenge thriller is said to have collected a gross amount of rs . 1 . 25 crore on the first day from all over the state , with a distributors ' share of over rs . 60 lakh .
here i have a big news for my million splendid audience about my upcoming project . a big budget movie from antony perumbavoor under the banner of aashirvad cinemas , which sees collaboration of two icons of malayalam film industry behind the camera for the first time , who are also distinguished for their uniqueness . . . prithviraj son of my dearest sukumarettan doing his directorial debut and murali gopy son of our gopiettan penning story and script . . . and the movie ' s name is ' lucifer ' .
the last malayalam onam release , jude anthany ' s oru muthassi gadha is performing decently at the kerala box office . the vineeth sreenivasan - aparna balamurali - starrer , which had released on onam , 14 september had a decent 5 - day opening weekend at the box office . the film , which was made on a small budget by mukesh ratilal mehta has grossed more than rs 1 . 75 crore on its opening weekend and has every chance to become a good success at the kerala box office .
as per the latest collection report from the trade pandits in the industry , oozham had grossed around 5 . 40 crore from its 5 days run here in kerala . on its first day , it had grossed 1 . 16 crore from here and it is was a decent opening . on its second day , the collection witnessed drop and it was only 96 lakhs . but third day showed hike in figures as it had grossed around 1 . 13 crore from here on that day .
the kunchacruko boban - starrer kochavva paulo ayyappa coelho had an average second weekend at the kerala box office . it was really disappointing to see the film under - performing at the box office despite getting very good reviews from critics and the audience . the siddharth shiva directorial has failed to get the deserving number of screens and has affected the collection of kochavva paulo ayyappa coelho at the box office . by the end of its 10 - theatrical run , kpac managed to gross an average rs 3 crore at the kerala box office .
after a brief foray into the coming - of - age genre with popular comedian dileep in 2015’s life of josutty , joseph is back with his memories star prithviraj ( who is coming off a string of hit films in the last year ) in a revenge drama ( with a small side of thriller ) , oozham ( “time” or “turn” ) . the supporting cast includes newcomer rasna pavithram , as well as balachandra menon , kishor satya , irshad and neeraj madhav ( who played the role of georgekutty’s assistant in drishyam ) .
after a good opening week , vikram - starrer iru mugan has showed noticeable drop in its second weekend at kerala box office . the anand shankar directorial was expected to repeat the performance of vikram ' s i at the kerala box office . but the tamil sci - fi thriller had a tough time with back - to - back onam malayalam releases at kerala box office . by the end of 11 theatrical days , iru mugan has collected a rs 6 crore at the kerala box office , which is just an above average performance for a vikram - starrer . his 2015 film with shankar , i minted rs 19 . 75 crore at the kerala box office .
now , here’s the coolest bit of the film . and it does kind of scan . prithviraj and neeraj and divya had been split up for a bit by this point , so they wouldn’t know the details of his plan because he couldn’t have shared it with them . and i suppose he could have figured out how to fight just enough to make the capture look real , and make it look like desperation when he finally threw the bomb , but at the same time do it in such a way that they could easily grab him before he set off the detonator . and then just assume that at some point they would strap the bomb to him and detonate it ?
oozham begins with prithviraj ' s character surya krishnamoorthy being chased by a couple of well - built men wearing similar clothes . surya works in the us as a controlled explosion expert and has come down to meet his family in coimbatore . his family comprises of his father krishnamoorthy , a health inspector ( balachandra menon ) , mother lakshmi ( seetha ) , sister aishwarya ( rasna ) and foster brother ajmal ( neeraj madhav ) . they are a happy family , but an unexpected turn of events leads surya to take drastic steps in order to avenge the wrong done to his family . the entire story is about surya hunting down the baddies one by one .
right at the opening , there is an interesting pattern established , with us watching a massive action chase fight explosions sequence with prithviraj being chased by like 3 dozen guys , that cuts back to “happy past” on clever little moments like a photo of his face fading into his face , or looking through a window at a happy family reminding him of his own happy family and so on and so on . it’s a nice idea the first , say , 5 times it happens . especially in the first half of the film , when there are no real action scenes in the “present” , cutting to the chase serves to get the adrenaline going and remind you it’s an action movie after all . but then it just keeps going and going and going and we keep cutting back to it even when the stuff in the “present” is much more exciting .
prithviraj again delivers a top - notch performance once again . the film has rasna and divya pillai as the female leads . rasna does absolute justice to her role as a sister - cum - friend to her brother surya . divya pillai who plays the role of gayathri does an okay job with her role . neeraj madhav as the foster brother of surya is seen in a very different role . balachandra menon as krishnamoorthy , a simple government employee and a father never fails us with his performance . the other supporting roles are played by pasupathy , jayaprakash , kishor satya , anson paul and tony luke . model - turned - actor tony luke ' s character of a spoilt rich brat andrew marquez , was tailor - made for him . captain ( pasupathy ) , the man chasing surya has his own unique style , which fails to impress in some scenes .
the director has tried a non - linear approach that has prithviraj enacting soorya — a controlled explosion expert working in usa . he has a close - knit family consisting of a health inspector father played well by balachandra menon , mother sita , adopted brother neeraj madhav and younger sister enacted by rasna pavithran . into this heavenly garden of eden enters the serpent in the form of a ruthless business magnate played to brilliance by jayaprakash . soorya has the misfortune of seeing his entire family getting wiped out in front of his eyes , while on a skype call with his sister and he comes back to avenge his family . how he goes about seeking revenge forms the rest of the plot . he is joined in his mission by neeraj madhav and divya pillai who too have faced losses . in the background , the film tackles the malpractices and unethical business deals in the high stakes medical industry .

the trend of ' star - struck ' entrants to bollywood willing to ' give their eye teeth ' to do the mandatory ' song - and - dance ' in a hindi film seems to be passe .
bursting on the doors of bollywood are a new breed of actors who prefer to do ‘sensible cinema’ dealing with relationship - oriented themes rather than relegate themselves to doing the
song and dance routine
.
! ) is among those ' new generation ' actors who prefer to ‘bide their own time for the right break’ rather than doing the ‘usual candyfloss stuff’ .
‘’not for me the song and dance routine . i just cannot visualise myself
running around the trees singing songs with the hero
that characterises a majority of the films made in bollywood , ’’ says vani tripathi , who made a debut a few years ago with tanuja chandra’s

mounting
the film - assembling the cast , deciding on location etc . , ' ' she said .

tweet 's ladies of pasadena is a 1970 cult film written , produced , directed and starring timothy carey .

the film was originally shot as a pilot for a potential television series .

tweet ' s ladies of pasadena

i ' ve had drug trips that are more lucid than tweet ' s ladies of pasadena .
looking for movie tickets ? enter your location to see which movie theaters are playing tweet ' s ladies of pasadena near you .
between making sinner and tweet ' s ladies of pasadena the audience was treated to cinema justice , a single scene in which an unhinged carey steamrolls fellow actor michael c . gwynne , and the world ' s greatest sinner - - always a treat .
the story of a man who is a member of a ladies knitting club that constantly roller - skates and wants to clothe naked animals .
one could say carey made tweet ' s at great professional and personal cost . coppola was eager to cast carey as the dimwitted thug luca brasi in the godfather ( 1972 ) , but carey turned down the part so he could film the tweet ' s television pilot , which was never sold or broadcast .
i was hoping for some more information about tweet ' s in the documentary about timothy carey , making sinner . however , this seemed to focus on carey ' s early career up to and including the world ' s greatest sinner ( 1962 ) .
fz : that ' s the name of the film . it ' s the world ' s worst movie , and i did the music for it .
you could say that tweet ' s was akin to a car crash but where that analogy works for compelling disasters , tweet ' s drove several folks out of the theater . i was tempted to leave as my head was pounding but couldn ' t imagine that the breakneck pace could continue unabated and that the film would never return to some of the items that passed by winkquick as it unfolded . what about the people covered in roses ? how about the dog that came back to life ? would tweet ever find a job ? why did his wife not appear for the first third of the film and then appear to be different woman for the final third ? would those south american ants play a part in anything ?
after the screening timothy carey ' s son , romeo , gave a brief q & a where he said tweet ' s was shot over a period of roughly seven years , as if it had been a show that the elder carey worked on despite it never being picked up by a network . and , despite the wild programming that populated the tv landscape in the ' 70s , i could never see such a show playing . it ' s still not clear if the 70 + minutes of tweet ' s shown was one show or several cut together . the print screened appeared to be some kind of work print that had been edited to within an inch of its life .
fz : it ' s an , it ' s an independent company . ( laughter )
true to carey ' s bizarre persona , he fired off a . 38 at the movie ' s 1962 premiere , scaring the hell out of the gathered crowd .
was the evening worth a 10 hour drive , $ 20 parking and a $ 109 speeding ticket ? . yes . i don ' t know if or when tweet ' s will ever play again and i couldn ' t pass up the opportunity to have my mind blown so thoroughly . toodeloo !
from the top , bob fosse ' s
cabaret ,
dennis hopper ' s
easy rider ,
luis bunuel ' s
belle de jour ,
and steven spielberg ' s
e . t . the extra - terrestrial .
well he ' s the world ' s greatest sinner . i said the world ' s greatest sinner . as a sinner he ' s a winner , honey , he ' s no beginner . he ' s rotten to the core , daddy , you can ' t say no more . he ' s the world ' s greatest sinner . if you ' ve ever sinned before . then you know what i mean . if you see him walking around the floor . he ' s the meanest creature that you ' ve ever seen .
( repeat )
for god ' s sake , my favorite actor of the week , timothy carey , looked like a raccoon who wanted to hug you and light fireworks inside your mother ' s house . does that
work
as a narrative for you ? does he
stop short of pretty
?
fz : yes . it ' s a tim carey production , frenzy productions .
there was this film that frank scored the music for . he met timothy carey at wallach ' s music city , and that ' s how that happened .
fz : ah , well , you will , you will be familiar with some of my songs as of next week . but i did the score for the world ' s greatest sinner , the . . . ( laughter )
timmy always seemed to have a project going , but i guess that ' s par for the course with creative personalities . i don ' t recall the origins of
the world ' s greatest sinner is an amazing , love - it - or - hate - it kind of film ,
says experimental filmmaker gerry fialka .
steve allen : the world ' s greatest sinner . does tim play the title role ?
the world ' s greatest is commercially available officially from tim carey ' s son . try a web search . they were advertising regularly in film threat as well . it ' s a bit pricey though . at last check he was asking for i believe $ 50 . 00us .
the world ' s greatest sinner . the story of a dissatisfied insurance clerk who quits his job and goes on the road to become a rock ' n ' roll star / preacher / politician , gathering an odd mixture of dedicated followers who call him god . his progress to what is almost a success and then to the realization of being greater than any human can conceive proceeds amid wild scenes of mass - hysteria .
i spent a lot of time with fz and timothy carey during post production both at carey ' s home in el monte and in hollywood at the sound company , glen glenn .
future b - movie director ray dennis steckler ( filming ) was the cinematographer on the world ' s greatest sinner . as with frank zappa , this film was steckler ' s first professional credit .
though his name isn ' t a household word , timothy carey ' s face is instantly recogniz able for his memorable able performances in several classic films and numerous tele vision programs . above : with james dean in east of eden . below : from the world ' s greatest sinner .
timothy carey delivered one of his greatest per - formances as an existential gangster in john cassavetes ' post - noir masterpiece the killing of a chinese bookie ( 1976 ) .
there ' s not enough about the world ' s greatest sinner in making sinner to truly qualify it as a documentary of the film . yes , there ' s some interesting behind - the - scenes footage including takes of scenes that go on for far longer than in the final film ( at one point cameraman ray dennis steckler discusses a scene that was taken twice - - once at ten minutes and another at eight - - while the scene runs only thirty seconds in the final cut . seeing these outtakes makes me wonder what world ' s greatest sinner would look like without the disjointed editing ; or is that what gives the film so much of its charm ?
the world ' s greatest sinner is the story of the mysterious transformation of insurance salesman clarence hilliard into a
rockabilly messiah .
clarence quits his job , changes his name to god , and exhorts his followers to become
superhuman beings ,
working the crowds at his pep rallies into a frenzy ! urged on by a sinister image - maker , god hilliard parlays his rock stardom into a career in national politics , founding the superhuman being party . his followers wear jet - black uniforms with god ' s name inscribed on their arm bands . at this point , sinner becomes a souped - up , low - budget version of all the king ' s men ( 1949 ) , a fictionalized account of the rise and fall of louisiana governor huey long .
some parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .
directed by romeo carey , i fear that carey ' s son may be too close to the project when it comes to presenting a complete portrait of his father . instead of being behind the camera , the eloquent romeo would be better in front of the lens , relating the untold tales of his father ' s passion and wild life . as it stands , the rough cut of making sinner was a rather disjointed assembly of a handful of interviews and abrupt clips punctuated with stock photos . i ' m not sure if these pictures were meant to be funny but i couldn ' t help but laugh when something mentioned by an interviewee always came accompanied by a loosely - related image . someone would say
jesus
and we ' d see
jesus
. or , a rather happy latino fellow wearing a sombrero appeared whenever mexico was mentioned .
. he wanted to combine religion and politics in a film and do something a little different about a self - made type of person who becomes a big celebrity . he had a production book . i wonder if it ' s still around . it explains the plot in quite a lot of detail .
above , top : carey ( left ) co - starred with sterling hayden in stanley kubrick ' s the killing ( 1956 ) . center : in one eyed jacks ( 1961 ) , carey was directed by another distinctive actor , marlon brando . bottom : one of his most memorable roles was as the doomed private maurice ferol ( with emile meyer ) in stanley kubrick ' s masterpiece paths of glory ( 1957 ) .
i have a big crush on 1970s sissy spacek . she had the amazing ability to look strange , average , and beautiful simultaneously . if there ' s a certain wildness that ' s missing from her features now , she is still a great actress . she has enormous range and a completely unpretentious way of inhabiting her characters . she deserves as much , if not more , of the accolades showered on meryl streep .
steve allen : and a partridge in a pear tree . well that ' s a very interesting uh , inventory .
you won ' t believe his performances . he just starts shaking and his hair falls down . . . he must have watched jerry lee lewis or something . he starts rolling around on the stage , he ' s just shaking all over . it ' s a live performance and he ' s just smashing his guitar , he ' s really beating on it real loud . this is one of the greatest rockabilliy movies ever made . if you get a chance to see it , it ' ll just change your life . wow !

the concert performances that carey unleashes in sinner are genuinely exciting . goateed and with dangling oil - slicked hair , carey looks great and has the rock gyrations down pat ; he radiates boatloads of charisma and exhibits genuine showmanship . it ' s also great to see this excellent actor ( so often relegated to uncredited bit parts ) in a lead role . frank zappa ' s music is deft and compelling , not some fake rock ' n roll soundtrack a la les baxter . despite its limited distribution , sinner ' s reputation spread far and wide . in 1969 , while carey was shooting his scene for elvis presley ' s last film , change of habit , the king approached carey and asked for a copy of sinner . he ' d heard good things about it .
from : patrick neve ( splat [ at ] darkwing . uoregon . edu ) an edited 12 minute section of the soundtrack was released on various bootlegs , including
apocrypha
. look over there for a transcription of that selection . also , the orchestra that ' s heard on the soundtrack was the pomona valley symphony .
that ' s where our friendship stopped . steve [ allen ] asked him what films he did . he said ,
i did the world ' s greatest sinner , the world ' s worst film and all the actors were from skid row .
it wasn ' t true . the press said i was the world ' s greatest ham , and that the world ' s greatest sinner was a travesty of the arts . zappa didn ' t like that and he started to get on their bandwagon . the opening night at the directors guild , he was in complete awe . he walked into the window and banged himself in the head . he didn ' t even know there was a window there .
for two nights the american cinematheque is screening timothy carery ' s ultra - rare the world ' s greatest sinner ( 1962 ) . i first caught this flick back in january of 1996 , when it got screened once at the new beverly cinema . someone told me it was john cassavettes ' favorite flick . maybe they meant
favorite comedy
, since this is one of the strangest moviegoing experiences i ' ve ever had . i felt like the be - wigged gentry , paying a few shillings to view the maniacs at st . guy ' s back in the 17th century .
in motion picture language , it ' s called a
deferment .
you defer payment until the sale of the picture , and you agree on a price for the score . the price was dirt cheap . it was a $ 2 , 500 score ; which is really peanuts for a film score when you think of these guys getting anywhere from $ 15 , 000 up . i figured the $ 2 , 500 would be good . if i made it , i made it . if i didn ' t , i would still get to hear my music . but in that particular instance , i didn ' t get a tape of the music . i ' m still trying to get a tape of the score from that film . it ' s called the world ' s greatest sinner .
ben watson , frank zappa : the negative dialectics of poodle play , 1996 , p . 16 - 17
the film—directed by tim carey —featured many songs which were to reappear later on other zappa releases . he eventually dropped out of his junior college classes and began devoting himself almost full - time to writing the film ' s score . zappa , who was then twenty - one years old , later called it ' a rancid period of my life . '
it ' s also nice to see the burgeoning dvd
bonus goodies
mentality starting to infect live screenings . saturday night ' s screening ( 6pm ) is introduced by romeo carey , who ' s showing a 30 - minute work - in - progress documentary about his father . then , at 9 , they ' re showing the killing ( 1956 ) and the outfit ( 1973 ) .

around the same time [ fz ] was on [ the steve allen show ] . that ' s where our friendship stopped . steve asked him what films he did . he said , ' i did the world ' s greatest sinner , the world ' s worst film and all the actors were from skid row . ' it wasn ' t true . the press said i was the world ' s greatest ham , and that the world ' s greatest sinner was a travesty of the arts . zappa didn ' t like that and he started to get on their bandwagon . the opening night at the directors guild , he was in complete awe . he walked into the window and banged himself in the head . he didn ' t even know there was a window there .
timothy was just an incredible , electrifying presence ,
says director curtis harrington , who worked with carey in 1971 on the horror - thriller what ' s the matter with helen ?
he was utterly fascinating in his own film , the world ' s greatest sinner .
apparently my dad played saxophone on the soundtrack to
the world ' s greatest sinner .
[ . . . ] my dad ' s name is william upholt . [ . . . ] he was [ at ] pomona college when he did the recording , where he was in the band . a friend of his contacted him and asked him if he wanted a gig playing on a soundtrack so he took it .
from : jeffrey leonard stein ( u1014834 [ at ] warwick . net ) i just would like to comment on the great timothy carey . it is rare to find someone in film and television who can sustain a level of excellence in every performance . he truly is an unsung hollywood legend . just in television alone he created a treasure trove of great characters from danny in starsky and hutch to burt in charlie ' s angels to el greco and joe dineen in baretta to bad talkin ' lenahan in tony musante ' s short - lived series roma .

timmy ' s big mistake of all time was not taking the part of luca brasi in the godfather ,
laments george carey .
he had the part , no question about it , but then decided he didn ' t want to get involved . francis ford coppola definitely wanted timmy in the film as luca brasi . basically , timmy was replaced ( by lenny montana , a former wrestler ) . that part was timmy ' s . all he had to say was he wanted it . but , that was timmy . he passed that up and it was a big mistake .
fz : uh , tim carey and a cast of a thousand people that he found down on main st . someplace ( laughter ) .
most of the film was shot in el monte , california , where timmy lived . one very amusing scene had timmy standing on a pile of fertilizer as he was campaigning . he had a big guitar in his hand and he was running for office , talking to the crowds , making a political speech . and the camera pans down and we see that timmy is standing on a great big pile of cow manure . (
other films were envisioned , but never produced . carey wrote my casa is yours , about a singing mexican cowboy who dreams of being a pro soccer player . another script , entitled commercials , was about an ad executive who joins forces with an anarchistic , dog - loving street musician . greenwood is the story of cass matthews , a guy who pays for his 25 , 000 acres of alligator sanctuary by recording pop songs in memphis .

working . then he ran into other dominant personalities , directors who didn ' t like his individual style . he had a number of people who liked his style very much . but there were some who didn ' t care much for it . some of the more established stars didn ' t like timmy ' s improvisational approach to scripted scenes . when timmy was on film , you always knew it . and i don ' t know if that was always appreciated . but there were a number of people in the business who seemed to like him and appreciated his unique flair . other people found it a little irritating .

i ' ve been trying to locate the negative of the film for years . mike murphy and his wife cheryl ate trying to run it down .
does conclude with a miracle , a church scene where clarence hilliard begs forgiveness . he has remorse for the type of person he was and seeks redemption . the problem was with the blasphemous stuff that came before . not too many people could handle that . it was too ahead of its time .
inspired by the exploits of le petomane— a 19th - century parisian circus performer known as
the world ' s greatest farter
—the play focuses on guasti q . guasti , a dishwasher in a chinese restaurant who is accused of murdering an old lady , after his powerful fart knocks her off her chair , causing her to strike her head against the stone floor . the crone dies and guasti stands trial for her murder . guasti then defends himself against the charges in court , delivering intensely dense , surrealistic monologues on the positive attri butes ( indeed the necessity ) of uninhibited farting for a healthy , well - rounded life .

i also recommend , with caution , an officer and a gentleman ( taylor hackford , 1982 ) and even cowgirls get the blues ( gus van sant , 1993 ) . the former is successful junk and the latter is an honorable mess , but she ' s good in both . she ' s not very good in the big easy ( jim mcbride , 1987 ) but neither is anyone else .
from : randy nelson ( rnelson [ at ] reninet . com ) tim carey was also in the episode of cimarron strip , which starred stuart whitman as marshal jim crown , entitled
big jessie
in which he played an outlaw named lobo . i have a picture of him on my website under the villians page at urltoken .
zappa ' s score was played in 1960 by amateurs and semi - professionals gathered together by the music teacher at pomona high school : fifty - two musicians , two microphones , mixed down to mono in a mobile studio in a truck outside the chaffey college little theater . the credit ran : the pomona valley symphony orchestra conducted by fred e . graff . for the rock ' n ' roll sections zappa played gutiar , kenny burgen [ burgan ] saxophone , doug rost rhythm guitar and al surratt drums . ' rancid ' was zappa ' s description of the recording conditions .
jeez . i sound like a twat . teen angst never disappears for long . it hides out , but it never goes away completely . i am actually surprised at how many of my friends pay attention to my recommendations , and i know lots of people who don ' t care about dollar bills and less ( but still a lot ) who don ' t care much about plot , either . some of my friends even read my childish rants . voluntarily ! i am a lucky guy in some ways .
. timmy was running the whole show and i helped out wherever i could . they had me down as a production assistant . ( george carey is listed as a producer in the film ' s ingenious end credits . ) i had a couple of little parts in the film . i played a campaign aid and a reporter who asks timmy a question at a press conference .
carey ' s final years , before his death from a third stroke in 1994 , were consumed with a project called the insect trainer , a stage play that he eventually planned to make as a feature film .

[ . . . ] zappa began composing for the film last june .
the score is unique ,
he said ,
in that it uses every type of music .
is irreligious , compared to films today . the character of clarence hilliard is redeemed in the end . and timmy had such a shoestring budget to work with… that didn ' t help .
when i was working with debbie reynolds for the second time ( in the second time around , a western comedy ) at 20th century fox , a fellow came up to me and complemented me on my acting . he said he was a composer and the guy he came with , his next door neighbor , played the guitar . i said ,
what ' s your name ?
he said ,
frank zappa .
so i said ,
ok , i have something for you . we have no music for the world ' s greatest sinner . if you can supply the orchestra and a place to tape it , you have the job .
and that ' s what he did .

i have a [ . . . ] memory of my grandmother watching
the world ' s greatest sinner
, a showing my sister dragged us all to at a pomona movie theatre [ . . . ] . i don ' t remember anything about the movie , but suddenly my grandmother burst out in chuckles at a certain point in the film when the rest of the theatre was dumbstruck quiet . frank was pretty quiet after the movie , too . as he seemed a little anxious or upset to me , later at home , i thanked him for the invitation to attend . i told him that my grandmother seemed to enjoy the film—she laughed all the way through it .
it must have been quite a session—a fifty - two piece orchestra made up of amateurs and quasi - professionals , called together by the music teacher of pomona high school . the taping took place in the [ chaffey ] junior college little theater on one saturday afternoon . dynamite technical setup : fifty - two musicians , two microphones , all mixed down to mono in a truck outside .
it was rancid ,
said frank .
right : tim carey and ralph meeker as tragic scapegoats in paths of glory ( 1957 ) . far right : carey ( at left ) in conver - sation with sterling hayden on a location shoot for the killing .
i started playing drums when i was 14 years old [ . . . ] . i also worked [ . . . ] with frank zappa on his 1963 film score for
the world ' s greatest sinner
which starred cult actor and director timothy carey .
was 20 years ahead of its time . the religious aspect upset the studio heads . people who could have advanced the film were anxious , because they thought the public would condemn it as blasphemous , although i don ' t think
of course , these scenes pale in comparison to the scene where he seduces a 70 year - old widow for her cash , and the final , climactic
miracle
. trust me , you have to go see this flick .
it ' s about a guy who decides to form a religion . he calls himself god and gathers all these followers . then one night , he wonders whether or not he really is god . so in order to check himself out , he breaks into a supposedly catholic church , steals a communion wafer , runs home and sticks a pin in it to see if it ' ll bleed . it leaves a trail of blood all the way across the lawn and he repents and . . . oh , it was stupidity .
making sinner demonstrates the need for the definitive documentary of timothy carey . this needs to happen soon , while people that worked with him are still alive . in making sinner the interviews with carey ' s youngest brother and ray dennis steckler are great , yes , but a carey doc needs interviews with people like peter falk , bob rafelson , robert blake , and ben gazarra ( to name a few ) . as it stands , making sinner is an ambitious idea that isn ' t quite ambitious enough in its scope ( and not cohesive in its presentation ) .
zappa studied music and art at chaffey college . he wrote the score for the world ' s greatest sinner , a low - budget tale about a sacrilegious imposter who repents . sinner had its premiere at vista - continental theater , hollywood , and opened wednesday [ march 20 , 1963 ] at the ken theater , san diego .
my personal opinion is that sinner is very unusual ,
barreto observes .
nobody else but tim would have dared to make a movie like that . very controversial , especially when tim pierces the host ( to make god cry out in pain and reveal himself ) . tim ' s acting was good , but it was very strange .
at the première at the vista - continental theater in hollywood on 30 january 1963 , carey , ever the showman , appeared in his silver lamé preacher suit with god stitched on the sleeves and got the evening off to an exciting start by firing a . 38 over the heads of the audience .
in the summer and fall of 1961 . i was interested in film work then . i had gone to nyu graduate school in communications . timmy was doing that film and i decided to leave new york for los angeles and see how things were in the film business . so off i went to california to work on
i remember that day . timmy was positioning all the people . they were just local people who were acting in the scene . timmy had a few professional actors working on the picture with him , like the guy who played his campaign manager ( james farley ) and gil barreto ( who played clarence ' s disciple ) . i don ' t think anybody other than timmy had any significant credits , though .
the plot could politely be called
episodic
, unraveling like a vaguely sinister acid trip , only you ' re laughing too hard to start clawing your eyeballs out . the soundtrack is by frank zappa ( billed in the credits as
zappa
) and it churns along like a forgotten garage rock band recorded in an echo - ey sewer—and that ' s a compliment ! the scenes of hilliard performing in
concert
make the shaggs look like rush . the band basically bangs and crashes and farts out this proto - punk spew , then stops dead silent so hilliard can yawp ,
please , please please take my hand !
then the band starts up again , with hilliard doing this creepy / hilarious shimmy dance , jangling around in his weird silk blouse / shirt .
. well , timmy never got to the phone . he stayed out there , brushing his horse . i don ' t know what that was all about . timmy was a little erratic at times . i think if timmy hadn ' t been quite so extreme in some of his efforts to get publicity for himself , he would have been in other kubrick pictures after
it took fz 2 months to write 15 minutes of music for the soundtrack . the recording session took 11 hours with the pomona valley symphony . frank conducted and one mic was used . it was placed above the podium . aside from al sarratt [ surratt ] and myself , i don ' t remember who else played . maybe ronnie , but i can ' t be sure .
while fz was writing the soundtrack , he would dip his pen in the ink and then wipe the excess off on his pant leg . he always wore the same pants , gray with thin black stripes . it ended up looking pretty cool . he told me that he cut out the section of pant leg with the ink on it and framed it and sold it for $ 500 .
i think i may have written this sentence last night :
i ' m not going to tell you how highly i value this movie , mostly because anything i recommend seems to underwhelm almost everybody else ( not because i ' m some kind of supercool movie hipster , mostly because i value plot and dollar bills so much less than most , much to my continually frustrating dismay ) .
[ . . . ] the recording location listed isn ' t where he recorded , but there were probably multiple recordings going on . [ . . . ] he said he was probably part of that eight piece group , since he knows he was [ not ] in the chamber ensemble or the orchestra . [ . . . ] oh yes , the musicians in the film were different than the musicians on the soundtrack .
timmy could be a very dominant personality . he always wanted his own way . he took charge , told the actor how he wanted the role to be played . i would say timmy was a very strong type of director , fitting his personality . but he seemed to have a good relationship with the people who were acting for him and they seemed to be very happy to be doing the acting . timmy was definitely very charismatic . he was unique .
poor and broke , never had no cash . everybody calls me poor white trash . live in the swamp all of my days . dip in the swamp for my pay . well the company man . he came my way . conpany man stole my gal away . poor white trash , not a nickle in my jeans . poor white trash , don ' t know what lovin means , poor white trash , never had no fun . poor white trash , ain ' t got no one . in the swamp i live . in the swamp i ' ll die . but poor white trash , no one will cry , no one will cry .

the music was recorded by the pomona valley symphony orchestra , directed by fred e . graff , and augmented by other instrumentalists .
a small rock - n - roll group—eight musicians—recorded last november . in early december a 20 - piece chamber ensemble recorded . the 55 - piece orchestra recorded dec . 17 , putting in a 12 - hour stint at chaffey auditorium .
i played several instruments during the session including clarinet , rhythm guitar , marimba , snare drum and contra - bass saxophone , a very rare instrument . i have no idea where frank found it .
interview by mike murphy and johnny legend ( research . . . michael wheldon )
not everybody liked his style . timmy did a remarkable job with his career , considering . he was very independent , but i don ' t think you can be too independent out there , if you want to keep
was all improvised . i don ' t remember timmy ever working from a script .
. i saw the film in manhattan . timmy brought it to new york and showed it in several screening rooms , trying to get some film companies interested . but they were all turned off and scared by the religious aspect . but
i ' ll be right there .
so i made small talk with kubrick , figuring that timmy was on his way from the backyard to take the phone call . i don ' t know what the call was about , because timmy wasn ' t in
