this ' matinee ' when considered as an offering from debutants , is a decent watch .

' matinee ' is a dark parable that splendidly traces the ever changing contours of human lives .
but , as it turns out ,
odd
is matinee energy ' s hallmark trait .
new times pressed tien in e - mails to answer questions about the contract with matinee energy .
that and subsequent news releases by matinee were picked up widely by solar - power information sites .

we would like to sell some land to matinee or some other investor or user ,
he acknowledges .
he vows to
bring someone else in
to construct a solar plant if the matinee deal falls through .
another troubling sign that matinee energy is a poser comes from one of matinee ' s apparent business partners , california consulting firm metroby , which has been in contact with the town of benson in recent months about the solar projects .
lee then notes that matinee energy has closed its

matinee also refused to comment after the company was accused of lying by a major u . s . investment firm .
ironically , for a company that claims to deal in sunshine , matinee energy prefers keeping the public in the dark .
but matinee has no visible financial backing and won ' t talk about what major investors , if any , it has .
graves is matinee energy ' s most ardent defender , though even he has qualms about the way it has done business .

he says .
they don ' t all know each other .
the tribeca film festival helps filmmakers reach the broadest possible audience , enabling the international film community and general public to experience the power of cinema and promote new york city as a major filmmaking center . it is well known for being a diverse international film festival that supports emerging and established directors .
it ' s a shame that the film has been surrounded by such controversy . people really need to see this film , and its message has become more relevant today than it was in 1971 .
the benson conditional - use permit application and engineering paperwork by matinee shows kepco kdn as its partner in the solar - farm project .
the film follows the procession of saint anthony through the narrow streets of boston’s north end and the memory of its inhabitants . filmed in boston in 2011 and 2012 , this documentary combines interview and archive material from social networks . these testimonies focus around st . anthony’s feast , the crowded three - day event highlighting the end of summer in boston’s little italy .
an acceptable offer from matinee , on the land it needs for the solar plant , would help graves pay off the money he owes .
the plot of this film revolves around two people who come from different backgrounds but are united by fate .
matinee calls this
progress .
but , with no property or building permits in hand , both
ground - breakings
were premature .
maqbool has in fact bagged three more films as hero even before the release of his debut film as hero . let ' s wait and see whether ' matinee ' will become a career break to the actor , like that happened with his brother dulqar .
from the company ' s amateurish website to its supposed partners , the more new times learned about matinee energy , the deeper the rabbit hole went .
there are such opportunities , but there are threats too , as we are reminded in a wednesday ! ( 2008 ) , which depicts the frustrations of the train - travelling common man in a world afflicted by terrorist strikes , and in kahaani ( 2012 ) , which begins with a scene showing a chemical attack on a metro , and later has a scene where the film’s protagonist almost finds herself hurled before an oncoming train . this is why the staff of our matinee express is so meticulous about their security checks . please excuse the inconvenience .

had he or other locals googled matinee energy after getting the invite , they almost immediately would have seen an online article published by new times on august 16 , 2010 , with the headline :
matinee energy official pushed gold - mine scheme in 1980s , now behind $ 700 million solar deal with hyundai heavy .
and as of press time for this article , it looked as though matinee energy still hadn ' t closed any deals to acquire land for either benson project .
in early march , matinee announced that it had teamed up with another low - profile company , zentric inc . , to build the benson solar - panel farm . the joint news release said matinee had
awarded
zentric an engineering contract that would have a construction budget of up to $ 444 million . the first 20 - megawatt phase was supposed to be built entirely by zentric in the next 12 months , with zentric expecting a payment of $ 72 million from matinee .
in an april 4 letter from tien to matinee energy , tien wrote ,
we sincerely regret this action but since we have been unable to arrange for sufficient financing in a timely manner to meet your deadline , we do not wish to create any further delays for matinee energy as you try to begin construction .
though this news clearly constitutes a setback , it ' s conceivable that matinee could patch things up with zentric or forge ahead with a new partner and investors .
if the company revealed its partners , he says , other solar companies would try to steal the partners — or a partner might try to compete with matinee .

with this film , we examine the mystery of the man , and the tremendously vibrant and unforgettable music he brought to our world .
today , matinee seems to be an all but forgotten and overlooked film from the early 1990s . although it received enthusiastic reviews from critics , who by definition can relate to a film saturated in film buffery , it wasn’t very successful and , perhaps because of its pg - rating , never achieved a place among the pantheon of dante’s other cult movies ( the howling , innerspace , the ‘burbs , etc . ) . certainly , the film’s b - movie affectations are mostly relatable for cinephiles who grew up confounded by the opposite sex yet fascinated by the movies , but it’s also just a plain fun and touching experience for any viewer . and so , matinee belongs on a short list of great “films about film” , and among the best projects under dante’s name . when woolsey loses himself in one of his many speeches about the power of movies , the importance of escape , and the joy it brings him to realize these notions for his audience , we sense this is exactly how dante feels , and that joy is instantly catching .

what i was trying to say is that while a few screenings have occurred , they have been over a really long period of time . correct me if i ' m wrong here , but i believe in addition to the 2004 screening , the only other screening was at the east end film festival , until this year , when the bfi was allowed to show the film on the same release date as their dvd . now , they are allowed to show the film again on two other separate dates . my point is simply that being able to show the film three times over the span of a few months is rather surprising , given how much wb hates the film .

and yeah , it doesn ' t surprise me at all that it ' s warner us that has the problem with the film . that ' s the one problem that ' s going to make it much more difficult for a us - based company like criterion to release the film .
because of matinee ' s decision to exclude the press , no reporters were snooping around the february ceremony , asking embarrassing questions about the pannos brothers , the firm ' s alleged $ 1 billion hyundai heavy deal ( which also was said to include two large - scale solar farms in southern arizona ) , or another matinee solar project for the navajo nation that fizzled in its planning stage .

the permit granted last month allows limited plant removal but no major grading or construction . matinee has yet to apply for permits for the latter , nor has it applied for a use permit for its planned solar campus .
the company stalled , but chin kim finally cut him a check . matinee continued to act flaky , graves maintains , so he gave back the firm ' s money , saying he wanted a
clean break .
not unlike woolsey , dante loves movies just as much as he’s nostalgic for the innocence of youth ; this is evident in every film he’s made , starting with piranha in 1978 , a roger corman - produced cheapie respectfully riffing on jaws , up to his most recent kids - in - peril adventure the hole . it seems fitting that dante’s work often features children , too , as the films we see during our impressionable adolescence shape us for the rest of our lives . like woolsey and gene in matinee , dante grew up on a steady diet of cinema , and so his own movies smack of cinephilia , with sometimes subtle , sometimes direct references to the pictures that inspired him . watching a joe dante film is about the story as much as it is about identifying where and how cleverly he’s drawn from his inspirations . with this , matinee may very well be joe dante’s finest work , a picture that acknowledges the kind of movie magic needed to transform a film buff into a film - maker , and encapsulates dante’s movie - loving approach to his films in both style and narrative .

( 1954 ) and the fly ( 1958 ) , but also gimmick - laden fare pitched by hucksters like william castle . as its writer , director , producer , and promoter , woolsey wants to slip “mant ! ” under hollywood’s nose to test out his latest cinematic trickery . a con man turned film peddler , he’s also passionate about his profession and blindly devoted to the escapist wonder inside the moviehouse . teeming with small - town sensibilities and repressions , matinee holds a contagious longing and affection for the simplicity of moviegoing thrills and the discovery of adolescence and reminds us what made us fall in love with the movies .

hi s . we’re definitely fans of classic films ! but as mentioned in my previous comment , the current time slots ensure that we can always show two classics each month . we have to balance all aspects of the film programme , and if we changed the current time slots for matinee classics , we’d run in to difficulty securing some new releases . screen space is also a factor . we currently have three cinemas , which limits the number of films we can screen each day , but our new venue home ( opening in 2015 , more details here : urltoken ) will have five screens , giving us much more flexibly . we’re currently planning the film programme for home , and given the extra screens we’ll have , classic films will feature in more time slots . i’ve also passed your comments on to our film programme team so they are aware .
it seems wise to plan for matinee ' s collapse . indeed , the would - be energy company already has tried and failed to put a solar plant on paragon ranch , a mix of state and federal land near the navajo nation . the hyundai heavy deal appears kaput — there ' s no mention of it on any of matinee ' s websites . hyundai heavy gave conflicting answers to business reporters last year as to whether the deal was still on and didn ' t respond to new times ' inquiries by press time .
when bachelorette arrived at the sundance film festival last january , the film’s producers were quite clear - eyed about its prospects . the dark comedy — about three hard - partying high school friends ( kirsten dunst , isla fisher , and lizzy caplan ) and their evening of escalating debauchery before the wedding of another friend ( rebel wilson ) — was based on a years - old play by writer - director leslye headland . but just as the feature film adaptation was set to go before cameras last summer , bridesmaids , which shares some pointed similarities , became a massive , zeitgeist - seizing sensation .
the sixth annual tribeca / espn sports film festival , founded to broaden the audience for independent film through stories about sports and competition , will open with the world premiere of benji , directed by the duo coodie and chike . the documentary looks back at the story of a teenage basketball phenom in 1980s chicago whose ascension to the upper echelon of the sport tragically ended when he was senselessly murdered .

playing tonight at lincoln center in nyc . says the format is digibeta and runtime 111 minutes , so unless wb cops out at the last moment like they have on other occassions , it seems as if lincoln center will be playing the uk theatrical cut . i strongly urge all those in the area to check out this film , as this not only is a great opportunity to see the film on the big screen , but also to see a much longer version of the film . ( i know the bfi released this same version , but for those without region free players this is a rare opportunity . )
but matinee hides the kind of information that other solar companies brag about . though its officials claim to have built many solar plants it still owns , little evidence could be found to back up the company ' s bold claims about its capabilities , experience , and financial stability .

1993’s matinee is a perfect example of dante at his best , a love letter not only to cinema but a specific time in horror set in 1962 showcasing not only the very real paranoia and panic of the period but the cinemas ability to capatalise on this to turn terror into ticket sales .

few filmmakers have invested as much in the pure joys of cinema - going , the pleasure of watching movies , as joe dante . having started under the old - school tutelage of roger corman , dante is responsible for “gremlins , ” “the ' burbs , ” “matinee , ” “innerspace” and many more .
of all matinee ' s problems , though , nothing seems to bode more poorly than the histories of two of its original founding members : christopher pannos , former head of pannos mining ( shut down in 1988 for bilking investors out of millions of dollars ) , and his politically connected brother , michael .

rich in nostalgia and coming in an extras packed arrow release package matinee is one of joe dante’s finest films working not only as a fun filled family adventure but as a complex character driven exploration of childhood , a tense time capsule detailing 60’s social dread and a marvelous demonstration of movie marketing all wrapped up together .
in short , taken 2 is very flawed and megaton was by far the wrong choice as director . yet , if you are as up for it as neeson is , then taken 2 will offer the required thrills for a saturday night in with a chinese takeaway and a beer ( or if you don’t drink , coca cola ) . it is disappointing next to the cult - followed , hit of a first film and at times this film feels somewhat neutered of violence ( a matter that has been little alleviated by this “harder cut” ) . still taken 2 is not an entirely joyless venture and when neeson is allowed to “do what he does best” the film is fun for those willing to play along .

of course , being an older single woman still brings some negative attention . “when i tell certain people i’m single they’ll say ‘ahhhh’ in a really sympathetic way , as if i’ve just told them i’ve got breast cancer , ” laughs helen . melanie adds : “i think the external pressure tends to come from other women , as if they’re trying to justify their own stories to themselves . whereas men often say to me ‘you’re so lucky’ or ‘i’d love to be single again’ . ”

it’s fitting that the first woman of color to helm a $ 100 million film has also been a lot of other “firsts” : the first black woman to win best director at sundance , the first black female director to be nominated for a golden globe , and the first to have a film nominated for an oscar .

ken loach has taken a simple and straightforward story and pushed it to quite a sophisticated level . the film makes you sit up and think about how we survive , how civilised we are , and how we civilise ourselves . it had me in tears at moments . there was a lot of sniffing around me in the screening room . it’s a tough film and it might spin people out a bit , but i think it’s definitely an important one to see .

overall , though , the women are keen to stress that it’s not necessarily better to be single than coupled up – it’s down to what suits you . “it’s not being in a relationship or being single that will make you happy , it’s what you do within that space that counts , ” advises melanie . “even if you don’t necessarily choose it , it doesn’t mean you’ve ended up with second - best . ”

the film is well worth a look , if just for the performances ; just know going in that director mills calls upon his cast and script to do most of the heavy lifting .
i think this film is up there with ken loach’s best . it’s powerful and raw , and of all his work i don’t know if i’ve watched something with such an emotional punch . it’s a searingly honest and brutal portrayal of ordinary people living on the breadline . i really admire how un - showy it is : it’s very simplistic in its storytelling and i think that’s the film’s power . i think no other film - maker would want to make a film about these characters . you’d pass daniel blake in the street and not notice him , and yet ken loach has turned the camera round and moved me to tears with it , and made me angry .
the doc society circle fund is a funders group bonded by a passion for enabling the very best documentary film . the fund was set up in response to the growing demand by individual philanthropists and family foundations who are committed to helping secure a diverse and independent future for media .
she also says that watching a number of friends divorce recently has made her even more thankful for her situation . “i think it’s incredibly difficult for women who’ve spent years bringing up children , borne the brunt of the domestic work , and now have to rediscover who they are on their own , ” she explains . “you may take some risks as a single person , but you definitely avoid others . ” bella also explains that , while long - term single and married people have similar life expectancies , divorce is a big factor in dying earlier .
take a look behind the scenes at kirschenbaum productions as we gear up for our latest film look at us now , mother ! along with the other exciting projects we are currently working on .
in a meticulously researched script written by paul laverty , loach’s collaborator for 20 years , blake , a widower , has had a serious heart attack . what follows are his struggles with the benefits system and his growing friendship with a single parent , katie , and her two children . after two years in a london hostel , katie has been moved 300 miles to newcastle because , allegedly , there is no housing in the capital – a city with 10 , 000 empty homes .
you can sense the overwhelming research that has gone into it : all the form - filling in the jobcentre and that hypocrisy is brilliantly realised . it’s a shocking and important film , because this is the state that a lot of people in the country are in . with everything that’s gone on with brexit , a lot of that was a protest vote . the world of this film is connected to that – it’s a film about austerity . it wears you down as a viewer : you feel like you’re on that journey with daniel , and you feel an overwhelming frustration about his plight . there’s a beautiful line in it that says , “when you lose your self - respect , what have you got ? ” , and i think that’s really what the film is about – identity . and about how no matter who you are or where you come from or how much you earn , that you need to have recognition and a place within this world .
in 1915 , the motion picture supplement published an article headlined “women’s conquest in filmdom” , which said : “one may not name a single vocation in either the artistic or business side of its progress in which women are not conspicuously engaged . in the theatres , in the studios and even in the exchanges where film productions are marketed and released to exhibitors , the fair sex is represented as in no other calling . ”
the goal of lef new england is to fund the work of independent documentary film and video artists in the region , and to broaden recognition and support for their work , both locally and nationally . it also supports programs that highlight the rich history and ongoing legacy of innovation within new england’s independent film community .

kate siegel , who co - wrote the screenplay with the director , mike flanagan ( also her husband ) , stars as maddie , a fiercely independent single woman who & apos ; s been deaf and mute since a childhood bout with meningitis . a novelist by profession , maddie lives in a rural house with few neighbors ( uh - oh ) but is in regular contact with her sister ( emilia graves ) via facetime . the one neighbor she does have , sarah ( samantha sloyan ) , is also a friend , coming over often to hang out and practice her sign language ( even though , like all deaf characters in movies , maddie is an expert lip - reader ) .
sia ' s powerful song reflects the film’s underlying message will be included in the wonder woman soundtrack , that also features the original score by rupert gregson - williams . “to be human is to love / even when it gets too much / i’m not ready to give up , ” are the mighty lyrics belted out in the heart of the song , adding to the dynamic and inspiring beat .
the steely film - maker finds the camera turned on him in a documentary that uncovers both his softer side and parts of his oeuvre he’d rather forget . plus , a deep - dive look at tom daley . could he be team gb’s redeemer ?
a film review on friday about “finding vivian maier , ” a documentary about a street photographer who never exhibited her work , referred incorrectly to her use of her negatives . she did in fact print some of her work ; it is not the case that she did not print any of it .
hush is a tense , breathless horror film full of things we & apos ; ve seen before but can never get enough of when they & apos ; re done well , including a kickass heroine , an inherently frightening premise , and a creepy stalker in a white mask . it also has a few terrific things we don & apos ; t see very often , like an awareness of how modern technology actually works and a deaf lady defending herself with kitchen knives . so really , there & apos ; s something for everyone in the film , which will be available on netflix april 8 .
11 . it took upward of 40 people to film three . with such a simple set and just three dancers wearing one look , you never guess that many hands were on deck .
we still had a full crew ,
gatson remembers .
we had a camera , a dolly , a crane . i would say it was at least 30 to 40 people on set .
the women in film finishing fund gives grants to filmmakers working in both short and long formats , in all genres — narrative , documentary , animated and experimental .
during the summer of 1979 , a santa barbara single mom and boardinghouse landlord ( annette bening ) decides the best way she can parent her teenage son ( lucas jade zumann ) is to enlist her young tenants - a quirky punk photographer ( greta gerwig ) , a mellow handyman ( billy crudup ) and her son ' s shrewd best friend ( elle fanning ) - to serve as role models in a changing world .
the film , which he directed with charlie siskel , is absorbing , touching and satisfyingly enjoyable because maier was a fascinating , poignant and somewhat enigmatic woman . as the title suggests , the filmmakers take up mr . maloof’s search for his mystery woman ( complete with an unnecessary show - and - tell shot of someone typing her name into google ) , framing her as a riddle to be solved . with mr . maloof playing m . c . and sleuth , he and mr . siskel follow much the same arc that runs through the better news accounts about maier . it’s a breezy , perhaps overly tidy narrative ornamented with her work and packed with interviews with some of her old charges and their parents . some of the darker reminiscences are in sharp contrast to the movie’s upbeat tone and relentlessly jaunty music .
the film ' s greatest strength is its specific set of characters . while no big events or personal crises happen , no one seems two - dimensional or thin .
tavares ( brothers arthur , ralph vierra , perry lee , antone and feliciano ) were backstage at a madison square garden show when the bee gees approached them with more than a woman and said they thought it would make a good cover for them . and they weren ' t wrong - this version charted at number 32 on the us billboard hot 100 and number seven on the uk singles chart .
i don’t feel the film was over the top at all . if anything , i think they were a bit kind to the dwp . obviously there are decent people who work there ; it’s just that they’re so constrained by red tape and automatic responses . as the film shows , as soon as anybody tries to step outside of the regime to be helpful , they’re penalised for it .
if there’s such a thing as a wild ride into the heart of darkness , this is it .
synopsis : frank and michael explore a beach , a diner , and contrasting perspectives on life after a night out on the town in this philosophical comedy .
it makes me want to go and find a big wall and project this film on to it so as many people as possible see it . it needs to be shown in the house of commons and i’m going to start a petition to get it shown on the bbc .
2 . the iconic single ladies dance is not a beyoncé original . gatson admits it ' s based on a dance performed on the ed sullivan show in 1969 .
me and beyoncé saw it , and we thought , ' wouldn ' t it be great to modernize this ? '
he says . the two videos ' resemblance is uncanny :
fifty years ago , ken loach was the young director of cathy come home , a bbc1 play for today , filmed in documentary style and watched by 12 million . cathy , her lorry driver husband , and two children , live happily in a flat . he has an accident and loses his job , so they move to lodgings , a caravan , a hostel . cathy becomes a single parent and her children become homeless . social workers finally take the children into care . the public were moved and enraged .
while warner bros . made a swift decision this week to hire patty jenkins as its new “wonder woman” director , industry insiders are still chattering about why original helmer michelle maclaren suddenly vanished from the project . the studio is declining to elaborate on the cliched “creative differences” joint statement that was issued when the two parted [ … ]
not all single women are on their own out of choice , of course – some simply haven’t met someone they want to commit to . melanie , 53 , a lawyer at a publishing firm , always envisaged herself settling down with someone because – unlike bella or helen – she knew she wanted children . “the pressure was on me to find a relationship so that i could be a mother . however , i never found one that i felt was worth sticking with in order to have a child , ” she recalls .
as well as raising money from sales of the single , x factor boss simon also set up a donation page , urltoken , where people can contribute to the charity fund raising money for those affected by the devastating fire at grenfell tower last week , in which 79 people are dead or missing presumed dead .
the asian network of documentary ( and ) fund is a loose coalition of film festival organizers committed to supporting the production and distribution of asian documentaries . there are funds for specifically korean films , as well as asian documentaries in general .
explaining to the mirror why he ' d felt compelled to organise the single , simon , 57 , said :
i felt how everyone felt when they saw the news . i was angry , upset , thinking what the hell do you do ?
let’s start with the obvious . if the plot of a will smith movie sounds kind of like seven pounds , you know trouble is a - brewin’ . seven pounds is , of course , the movie where a grief - stricken will smith commits suicide by sharing a bathtub with a jellyfish . in that film , sad will smith spends the entire runtime atoning for killing someone while driving and texting . it’s po - faced , grim and dull . just like collateral beauty it has a needlessly convoluted plot .
i thought the film was very moving . it was good at showing how difficult life can be when you don’t have any income , and how not having money is really debilitating , to the point where it makes you sick . it’s interesting to see the film against the backdrop of this neoliberal society , where money is seen as the thing to strive for and build your ambitions around . the film seems to suggest that those hopes and ambitions which you can’t buy , which don’t relate to money , are not lauded or appreciated enough in our society .
the documentary nods in the direction of some rich issues , including who gets to sanctify work as art , and why . it’s a thread that has additional resonance , given that everyone’s a critic on the internet , which is where maier’s work was not just first publicly seen but also anointed . there’s another undercurrent here about her status as an artist ( partly because she didn’t formally study art ) and even questions about photography’s status as an art ( a hoary theme that emerges because she didn’t print all of her own work ) . time and professional pronouncements will decide if she was an outsider artist or just an unorthodox one who , as a single 20th - century woman , found freedom , her voice and her own private bohemia while under cover of other people’s bourgeois domesticity .
around 15 documentary projects will be supported in each cycle of the 3 - year adp program with a maximum grant amount of $ 50 , 000 per film . the selected projects will be given both financial as well as professional support by advisors and experts . the winning projects will benefit from network opportunities that bring their directors and producers into the market , the circuit of international film festivals as well as other fellow filmmakers and industry professionals .
so many of the scenes in the film have been part of my life . i was married , employed in a good job . then the relationship became difficult , i had no money . i was offered escort work , which i would never do . just as in the film , i was late for my first appointment at the jobcentre plus . i was in a terrible tizzy . they saw how distressed i was and showed some sympathy and said i should wait . so i waited four hours . i was lucky my daughter was a baby .

mother of an autistic three - year - old , living in a one - bedroom london council flat . after a struggle , she received a diagnosis of her daughter’s autism and now receives £400 a week including disability living allowance .
in the epilogue , we see what happens to the main characters . robin is still happily single . meg and ken are raising the child together . lucy and george get married . tom fixes the plumbing in his home , indicating he is ready to commit in some way . david opens up to his daughter about losing her mother , and they watch a video of phoebe when she was little with her mother , who sings

to her , making david tear up . alice decides to finally enjoy single life and goes hiking through the grand canyon .
this $ 10 , 000 ( canadian dollars ) grant is aimed at young video and filmmakers born and living in africa , asia or latin america who want to direct a film in the language of their choice that respects the aims of the foundation .
at least “woman in gold” quickly produces an enticing visual hook by opening with the creation of the central object of contention : “the portrait of adele bloch - bauer , ” the shimmering jewel of a painting by gustav klimt that inspires the film’s title and functions as a muse that hauntingly hovers over the proceedings . this so - called “ mona lisa ” of austria—the subject of which was maria’s aunt , whose husband owned the piece after she died years before the war—ended up being the main tourist attraction in the collection hanging in vienna’s belvedere museum . no way would the government nor the institution’s overtly snide curator portrayed here let maria have her way without a protracted fight .
it begins dull and uninteresting but later becomes an adorable and complex film drenched in nostalgia , with a great soundtrack , an oscar - deserving award by annette bening and an impressive cinematography that makes it look like it was really made in the late 1970s .
ken is walking down the street and is shocked when he finds meg in a store looking for baby products . he finally sees her baby bump and learns she is pregnant . he makes the mistake of calling her crazy ( you never call a pregnant woman crazy ) , and although ken wants to help her raise the baby , but meg thinks it won ' t work , so she breaks it off with him .

however , there’s an upside to not sharing your home , even if it’s pricier . “having your own bedroom and bathroom ! ” laughs melanie . “that’s definitely one of the best things about being single . it’s so weird how you’re expected to share your personal space with someone . ”
it’s not even a real fantasy film ! it’s someone making will smith think he’s in a fantasy film . that extra layer of artifice is not necessary , and actually harmful to your ability to enjoy collateral beauty . as every negative review has pointed out about this movie , this might be the cruelest trick ever played on a grieving fictional character in the history of drama . but it gets worse ! big willie styles starts going to a grief support group and falls for the head of the group , played by naomie harris . this is going to completely ruin this movie if you have some sick notion of seeing it , so fair warning .
both this cover version and the bee gees ' original version feature on the soundtrack album for saturday night fever - in fact , both versions feature in the film too . see , no rivalry here !

ken loach is someone whose work i’ve loved since family life [ 1971 ] , a beautiful movie i saw when i was very young . he’s a great artist and a great man . he loves people , and you can see that in this movie , because it’s about forming relationships , making a new family through life’s hardships . when i came out of the film i felt like i was losing a new family , because you enter the story and fall in love with these people . cinema is magic for that .
professor bella depaulo , 60 , a social scientist at the university of california , santa barbara , has spent the last 20 years focusing on what she calls “singles studies” : measuring the impact that singledom has on people as well as the way society treats them . “i was always really happy with my single life , ” she explains . “i never imagined what my wedding dress would look like or anything like that . yet for a long time i thought that maybe i was just slow at getting there , that i’d be bitten by the ‘marriage bug’ at some point . i can’t remember when it was i realised , no , i’m never going to want that . single is who i am . it was so freeing . ”
