fekete’s painting is not dogmatic , he has a flexible and fluid approach and the brush has a spontaneous movement , agile on the canvas , enchanting the observer . this enchantment is magnified by the light that rises from different directions in each fragment : evening light or morning light , it springs from the right and touches the character on the left . the resulting images are not static , but an endless procession moving in front of the spectator . fekete delivers to us a visual and mental suspense where everything is possible .

there is not enough space or time to talk about all the things scorsese does to make this film what it is . his outsider ' s perspective to the sport gives the film the unbiased and unflinching look into la motta ' s life . this easily could have been a story of what a great fighter la motta was , how he never gave up in the ring and refused to fall regardless of punishment , but that ' s only one facet of scorsese ' s tale . he breaks down the story and the man and goes through a jarring psychological examination that reveals a man ' s life the way no film has ever done in a mere two hours . raging bull is the blueprint for a biopic on film .

but when light entertainment is done well , someone is bound to make extravagant and unsupportable claims for its being great art . you will hear that this sequel to star wars is part of a vast new mythology , as if it were the oresteia . its originator , george lucas , has revealed that the two pictures are actually parts four and five of a nine - part sage , as if audiences will some day receive the total the way devotees now go to seattle for a week of immersion in wagner’s complete ring cycle .
but , while the irresistible beauty of this middle - earth landscape is obvious , the region also offered jackson an endless backdrop with plenty of room to move - a wild expanse , virtually unencumbered by human population and evidence of settlement , that was none - the - less easily accessible and able to accommodate the needs of a massive crew and cast .
hitchcock’s last film for producer david o . selznick is a courtroom drama about a society woman on trial for murdering her husband . the director’s interest clearly lies in the love triangle linking the defendant , her attorney and his wife , but the film takes advantage of the ensemble nature of the story to provide a panoply of fascinating character studies , including a distasteful judge and his long - suffering wife . shooting entirely on a soundstage , hitchcock focuses on the faces of his cast as canvasses on which to juxtapose light and dark , emphasizing the characters’ moral complexities in a reminder of the influence that german expressionist cinema had on the young filmmaker . print courtesy disney .

ricky conlan , who , for reasons of his own , needs a quick fight and sees a big , and presumably easy , payday in taking on the inexperienced american with such a famous lineage . a troubling and perhaps unnecessary medical subplot intrudes at this point to pad out the drama , but the central formula remains unchanged : can a relatively untested but immensely appealing underdog go toe - to - toe with a beast in the ring ?
for many viewers , i suspect , pulp fiction was their introduction to strategies of block construction in movies . those of us studying film history had seen it in various guises before , but seldom so cleverly and explicitly worked out as in tarantino’s film . and i’m not sure even film historians realized how much tarantino owed to earlier traditions .
but not everyone is on board with the avalanche of praise currently draping star wars : the force awakens . though most reviews have been overwhelmingly positive , there are quite a few people who found the film disappointing for a variety of reasons . if you are one of these people , rest assured , you are not alone . in the interest of keeping things balanced , we thought we’d counter the seemingly endless stream of star wars praise and draw attention to a few of the more interesting negative reviews to have emerged over the last week .
coogler makes the transition from the indie world to big - budget studio filmmaking with a result that ' s sturdy and smooth . buffed into ring - ready shape , jordan acquits himself well both in and out of the ring , even if the innermost aspects of adonis ' insecurities and issues aren ' t as extensively explored as they might have been . thompson seriously brightens every scene she ' s in , while phylicia rashad as apollo ' s widow mostly looks on supportively from afar .

rock am ring was initiated in 1985 and has been taking place at the nürburgring , a motorsport complex , ever since , with the exception of the years 2015 and 2016 , when it was moved to the nearby mendig airbase for financial reasons that have since been resolved .
the merchant of venice contains all of the elements required of a shakespearean comedy , but is often so overshadowed by the character of shylock and his quest for a pound of flesh that it is hard not to find in the play a generous share of the tragic as well . lovers pine and are reunited , a foolish servant makes endless series of puns , and genteel women masquerade as men—all of which are defining marks of shakespearean comedy . in sharp contrast to these elements , however , shakespeare also presents shylock , a degraded old man who has lost his daughter and is consumed with a bloody greed . the light language of the play’s comedic moments disappears for whole scenes at a time , and antonio ’s fate is more suspenseful than funny . the final act redeems the play’s claims to be a comedy , piling on the necessary humor and serendipity , but the rest of the play is overcast by the fact that antonio may soon pay bassanio’s debt with his life .
in the suite of works on view in the 2017 biennial , tala madani asks what it might mean for the body to be full of light , a substance associated—at least since the ancient greeks—with the mind rather than the body , pure spirit rather than materiality , and men rather than women . madani renders these ancient patriarchal divisions absurd in a series of brilliantly colored paintings in which various orifices emit light from bodies’ interiors . “front projections” suggest life , desire , and creativity , while scatological “rear projections” are ecstatic and nightmarish all at once . a sunset produced mechanically through screenprinting becomes part of a meditation on the cycle of life and death , while in an animated video , a luminous god delivers a lesson in sexual education .
whitmore’s breakthrough in films came in 1949 with a documentary - styled crime thriller , ‘the undercover man’ , starring glenn ford and nina foch . same year , his second film and the first with mgm titled ‘battleground’ released . the film was a big success and won him rave reviews .
from the perspective of a non - pugilist , scorsese was able to turn la motta ' s life story into more than a boxing film , but into a dissection of a complicated and disturbed man , intricately detailing his rise to the top and subsequently meteoric downfall . de niro ' s performance is one of legend .
it ' s impossible to mention everyone who made raging bull what it is today , but special mention to scorsese ' s longtime editor , thelma schoonmaker , is well deserved . she took home the oscar for her work here , and anything less would have been a travesty . the editing in this film should be shown in every film class ever taught on editing . almost every single edit in this film has a meaning and reveals something about the story . it creates the atmosphere , from those horrifying beatings la motta takes in the ring to those memorable jungle sounds ( courtesy of frank warner ) which create an eerie solitude during the fights .
“presenting a mélange of american perspectives , the biennial succeeds in keeping a finger on the pulse of a divisive and diverse cultural landscape . ” — apollo magazine
“i have heard frequently that there is a certain kind of disappointment with the ending of the second film . i’ve heard people say , ‘there’s no end to this film’ or ‘i can’t wait to find out what happens . ’ but they will , and that’s exactly the effect intended by the ending . ”

time out here in the uk was impressed by the film , but perhaps not for the reasons you’d expect .
del toro’s visual flair is in full effect here , and every frame of this film ( even the scary ones ) are stunningly beautiful to look at . it’s a treat .
although his career was revived a bit by the excellence of the brutal frenzy , hitchcock remained chastened by the failures of his work of the late 1960s , and he approached warily the making of what would become his last project . in the end , family plot marks a marvelous return to the comedies of his british and postwar periods . the film centers on a couple of petty crooks – a fake psychic and a con man – who find themselves in over their heads when they run afoul of more serious - minded criminals . the relaxed eccentricity of family plot shows hitchcock adapting to the new hollywood of the 1970s , and the film’s bemused attitude towards the scheming of its characters makes it a fitting coda to a career spent examining human foibles .
far from city lights , and under strictly controlled local ordinances , the gold - rated dark sky reserve has almost light - pollution - free skies making for exceptional night sky viewing for the thousands of visitors who make the pilgrimage each year .

appropriately , watching the cabinet of doctor caligari feels like slipping into a nightmare . caligari’s cabinet holds cesare , the sleepwalker – a catatonic oracle able to answer questions of life and death with eerie accuracy . is caligari a hypnotist , a murderer , or both ? it’s a strange story , made stranger with a twist ending , and rendered impossibly creepy by the expressionist production design . the weird , distorted hand - painted sets give the film a crude , unreal beauty and , if anything , the passage of time has increased the film’s creepiness , because it’s so utterly unlike modern films .
a less informed review you could hardly hope to find . writing in the washington post , reviewer judith martin gave a measured review , balancing her appreciation for the film’s strengths as a sci - fi movie against any over - the - top cries for it to be described as a masterpiece of cinema .

so what makes raging bull such a classic ? it ' s simple . this is a film where everything went right . scorsese was not a fan of the boxing genre when de niro first came to him with la motta ' s novel and thoughts of adapting it into film . scorsese didn ' t get the sport , and wasn ' t terribly interested until a few years later when he discovered the proper angle from which he could approach the story .
groundbreaking avant - garde filmmaker robert beavers uses 16mm film to portray the textures and intimacies of everyday life . beavers’s meticulous compositions serve as luminous representations of beauty and ruminations on mortality .
ring isn’t a perfect film . it’s a bit too long and ponderous and there’s a bit too much irrelevant mysticism in there . but in terms of pure creepiness , it’s pretty damned effective . the idea of a cursed videotape was brilliant – who didn’t have zillions of unmarked vhs tapes lying around the house at the time ? – and that climactic scene where the image on the screen crossed over into reality is bloodcurdling . sneaky , too , since it managed to suggest that no one was safe . especially not you , gentle viewer , because didn’t you just watch that cursed tape , too ? an awful lot of people must have breathed a sigh of relief once their own personal seven - day window was over .
' creepy ' doesn’t feel like a strong enough word to describe this film – ' devastating ' might do it . it’s a sensitive and horrifying portrayal of grief , with a sense of humour as dark as the inside of your eyelids , and some extremely upsetting gore . brilliant , but not one for the faint - hearted .
an early example of the found footage genre , the blair witch project has been aped and parodied by everyone and their grandma , but there’s something unsettling about it that hasn’t quite gone away . most of the film is improvised ; the actors are really filming the scenes themselves , working from a loose outline of the plot , but without prior knowledge of what half the scares were going to be . that ambiguous ending lets you make up whatever explanation you like for the events of the film , which means whatever the scariest thing you can think of is , that’s what the film is about .
flexible or rigid , clear or colors , we have the tubing you need . lamp guards provide safety where there is a risk of breaking a fluorescent bulb . tube packs are great for mailing posters or water resistant storage for maps . the epoxy tube is light and strong , perfect for kite building . try polycarbonate tube for virtually unbreakable applications .
melodrama and the exigencies of fantasy - fulfillment plotting demand that a high - stakes fight be arranged for adonis far earlier in his career than would ever be the case in real life . positioned exactly half - way into the film , his first east coast bout sees the hopeful getting banged up a bit before getting the feel of things . more interesting is the way it ' s been shot — all in one take for the first round , with the steadicam moving around the ring in a manner as agile as the boxers themselves and always catching the key action .
in her sprawling , feature - length film ouroboros , basma alsharif pays homage to the gaza strip in an allegorical narrative that posits the end of civilization is also its beginning and that hope can emerge from destruction . evoking the symbol of the ouroboros , a serpent devouring its own tail , the film alludes to the cyclical nature of both life and history via the epic journey of the heartbroken protagonist , diego marcon .
in ireland , quinn produced and starred in this is my father , written and directed by his brother paul and filmed by his brother declan , an award - winning cinematographer . he also starred in song for a raggy boy , for which he was nominated for best actor at the irish film awards . the film played at the sundance and tribeca film festivals . quinn was also seen in evelyn , directed by bruce beresford and co - starring pierce brosnan . other credits from ireland’s film industry include his sister marian’s drama 32a , vic sarin’s shine of rainbows and conor mcpherson’s eclipse .
that could be seen as simply a belated chapter head for the entire butch section , boyhood and prizefighting career . or it could mark the start of another , much longer block : the aftermath of the fight and butch’s flight from marcellus wallace . either way , the sense of a film composed of large - scale parts is very strong . as the film goes along , we realize that each block tends to concentrate on certain characters and provide distinct , sometimes overlapping , stretches of time .
also directed by takashi miike , one missed call is a parody of the endless string of soggy dead girl movies made in japan at the time . but somehow it’s still really creepy . the premise is that , as the title suggests , teenagers are receiving missed calls on their mobile phones . the mystery caller leaves a horrifying voicemail : the sound of the phone’s owner screaming in agony . and since the call came from the person’s own phone , and appears to come from a few days in the future , it’s clearly a sign of impending doom . sure enough , the kids all die just as the missed call predicted . there’s a nasty little backstory about evil little girls , and a bonkers televised exorcism , and generally , it’s a great film whether you love or loathe stories about scary dead kids .
a dead rip off of the original movie , episode 4 . from the crappy looking infinity cg roll opening sequence , bar scene and light sabre fights to a janitor identifying a weakness in the battle star , this movie is chock full of inside jokes and tired ideas . the only redeeming grace for this movie is a solid performance by harrison ford as han solo and a compelling performance by daisy ridley as rey who represents the resurrection of the jedi . fun to watch and full of action , but there are numerous dead spots and far too much nod to the star wars wonks of yesteryear .
“scenes linger in the mind : the light playing on darth vader’s gleaming surfaces as this metal man , who’s like a giant armored insect , fills the screen ; han solo saving luke’s life on the ice planet hoth by slashing open a snow camel and warming him inside ; luke’s hand being lopped off , and his seemingly endless fall through space ; chewbacca , the wookiee , yowling in grief or in comic fear , his sounds so hyper - human you couldn’t help laughing at them ; the big - eared green elf yoda , with shining ancient eyes , who pontifically instructs luke in how to grow up wise — yoda looks like a wonton and talks like a fortune cookie . ”
so much of the effectiveness of a horror movie comes down to its sound design . a well - placed creak , groan , echo , or jangle can make the difference between something completely normal and something terrifying . new scary noises don’t come along very often , but ju - on : the grudge managed to come up with something unlike any other scary noise you’ve heard before . its ghost makes a weird rattling , burping groan as she approaches ; it’s kind of like a death rattle , kind of like a throttled scream , and it’s creepier than anything you’ve ever heard before . the film is relentless , light on plot and heavy on jump scares , but it’s that noise that’ll stay with you .
the royal wedding : hurray ! she is a vision ! a curvy temptress ! a rump that launched a thousand gym visits . so much promise , so little delivery
we might be tempted to claim that this effort to create what jim emerson calls “movie - movie moments” actually breaks the film’s overall unity . but tarantino keeps nearly everything in check by the architectural clarity of his plot . the carving of the swastika on landa’s brow sets you squirming , but it reveals itself as the culmination of a process we have seen piecemeal up to now . it’s the last in a string of firecracker bursts that have kept the film humming along .
adaptations to date : a 1949 bbc teleplay , 1948 and 1950 radio shows , a 1960 film and 2002 remake , a 1978 tv movie starring three’s company ’s priscilla barnes , a 1994 audio drama starring leonard nimoy , a 2009 bbc radio broadcast , numerous science - fiction “sequels , ” and looser adaptations like 1985’s back to the future .
by now everybody knows that tarantino’s forthcoming the hateful eight was shot on film in the ultra panavision 70 format . this anamorphic widescreen process yields a projected aspect ratio of 2 . 76–in a word , humongous . an early version of it , mgm camera 65 , was employed on ben - hur ( 1959 ) , but panavision quickly developed a new generation of cameras and renamed the process . it wasn’t heavily used ; supposedly khartoum ( 1966 ) was the last film shot in the format .
where would horror films be without photographic dark rooms ? even in the digital age , the dim red light and slowly emerging pictures remain classic tools of terror . not to mention the room with rows of jars containing pickled animals , and the surprise homage to psycho . this story has it all . there are also touches of dark humour throughout ( the praying mantis is a recurring motif ) and one of the most bone - chilling scenes has a hilarious payoff .
hitchcock’s grand enigma was recently enshrined as the greatest film of all time in the british film institute’s respected survey , infamously displacing citizen kane for the first time in fifty years . a tantalizing spiral into the abyss , the film follows scottie ferguson , an ex - police detective in forced retirement after his last case ended in a tragic death , as he is enlisted as a private investigator to keep an eye on an old friend’s wife . following madeline , he is drawn into a sprawling riddle of love and death , from which he may never emerge . this is hitchcock’s most profound and troubling exploration of his persistent themes : doppelgängers and duality , obsession , women trapped by deceit and the inexorable destructiveness of male desire . a cinematic landmark , vertigo retains its power as a perplexing and harrowing nightmare .
in jordan wolfson’s real violence , a virtual reality film , we witness the artist himself engaged in an act of unexplained violence . the victim makes eye contact with us intermittently , possibly implicating us in the scenario .
“dean’s creative prowess is seemingly limitless , ” says asc awards committee chairman daryn okada . “his long list of impressive credits has defined a generation of cinema . dean is consistently innovative , and is always outdoing himself from film to film . while we recognize his tremendous contribution to our art form , we will keep an eye on the future and highly anticipate what he will create next . ”
in a spooky old inn , allan grey is visited in the night by an old man who leaves him a gift - wrapped book , with instructions to open it only on the occasion of the man’s death . which turns out to be soon . the book explains that the town is plagued by vampires – and , helpfully , gives instructions on how to kill them . vampyr is an early sound film , so while there is some sound and a little dialogue , most of the silent film conventions are still in place . it has a fairly straightforward , dracula - esque story , but the plot’s not the point . it’s a deliberately strange film , full of disembodied dancing shadows and weird dream sequences ; there’s something almost otherworldly about it .
a couple of londoners holidaying in cornwall stumble across a gorgeous abandoned house on the seafront and immediately decide they want to buy it . the owner , a grumpy old colonel , is happy to sell it to them on the spot , but his granddaughter is reluctant . turns out the house has got secrets , and , yeah , a ghost . the dialogue in this film is incredible in a very 1940s kind of way , and the tone can occasionally be accused of jolliness , but it’s also got its moments of proper creepiness . best enjoyed with a glass of sherry .
director ja bayona makes every shot count ; the movie is visually beautiful as well as fantastically sinister . it ' s a bona fide horror film but the ending might make you cry .

directors banjong pisanthanakun and parkpoom wongpoom skilfully create real characters and have the ability to communicate some of the most powerful and eloquent moments without dialogue . the mystery deepens as more sinister evidence comes to light and the climax is truly chilling . this is one which will stay with you long after halloween .
another film about eyes and the horrors of going blind , the eye follows mun , a classical violinist from hong kong , as she undergoes an eye transplant . although the transplant seems to be successful – mun can see again – something isn’t right , because now she can see dead people . and most of them are terrifying . the ending is vaguely preposterous , but the rest of the film is creepy enough that it’s forgivable .
early in her career , macdowell received critical acclaim for her performance as a repressed young wife in steven soderbergh’s indie classic sex , lies and videotape . the film won the palme d’or at cannes and garnered macdowell the independent spirit award and the los angeles film critics award for best actress as well as her first golden globe nomination .
why steer clear ? f . scott fitzgerald sure did like broad themes about the dark underbelly of the american dream , and he sure did like symbolism . since the book is so beloved , most adaptations try to faithfully recapture the elusively symbolic tone of the novel , only to create ridiculous images like robert redford reaching out plaintively toward a green light just across the harbor . in a book , it works as a dream - like image . flattened out on celluloid , it just looks stupid . gatsby ’s tone would require the touch of a more sensual director—a terrence malick or a wong kar - wai—but it seems unlikely that either of them would pick up the project .

the expanded , stand - alone feature version of death proof displays block construction in filling out the “missing reel” portion of the first story and creating a new block , a ten - minute scene of the second “girl posse” at a convenience store . the scene starts with stuntman mike before shifting to the young women . it makes mike even more a connecting link between the film’s two episodes , while mike’s stalking and spying fulfills tarantino’s claim that death proof is a slasher movie .
rings embodies a common problem of attempted franchise revivals : indecision about its intentions .
robert mitchum might have claimed not to be interested in movies or acting , but he’s great in this . as harry powell , a bizarrely religious conman , he’s terrifying , whether he’s preaching about the evils of fornication or chasing the children of his latest victim across the country in an attempt to steal a stash of money he knows they’re hiding . the use of light and shadow in this movie is just stunning ; the first time powell arrives at the harper house is a particular highlight . robert mitchum’s singing voice isn’t half bad , either .

room ends on a self - help - y note with jack and ma returning to the scene of their captivity — their womb , their utopia , their hell — and ultimately closing the door on it . they certainly aren’t healed , and the novel and film smartly avoid entirely neat endings . but just as crash underscored its lazy multiculturalism with its formally rendered multi - perspectivism , room promises readers and viewers that their endless appetite for watching women mother , get hurt , and experience sexuality is in the service of empathy and exploration rather than just another opportunity to sensationalize women’s pain .

originally intended by the producers to be a vehicle for jessie matthews , a famous star of the british stage and screen , waltzes from vienna was dismissed by hitchcock as one of his lesser efforts . undertaken when his career was ebbing after the success of the lodger and blackmail , hitchcock did admit that his biopic of josef strauss , jr . – focused on his composition of “the blue danube” – allowed him “opportunities for working out ideas in the relation of film and music . ” lacking both the director’s approval and his distinctively suspenseful storyline , this period piece has long been ignored . seen today , it is a charming example of hitchcock’s flair for comedy . print courtesy the british film institute .
other reviewers couldn’t quite grasp the film , its basic plot or the nature of returning characters . published on june 15 , 1980 , vincent canby wrote this in the new york times :

many viewers seem to assume that tarantino’s film is somewhat cold . the basterds are grotesques , parodies of men on a mission ; shosanna , though in a sympathetic position , must maintain a frosty demeanor . even revenge , so central to films that tarantino admires , is served frigid here , a purely formal postulate , like the urge for vengeance animating classic kung - fu films .
anicka yi’s 3d film the flavor genome explores perception and the ways in which it can be altered and formed through sensory experiences . it is centered on a prospecting mission in the brazilian amazon : a hunt for a mythical plant prized for its medicinal properties , described only in terms of its desirability and elusiveness . the plant is thus imagined as a trophy for the pharmaceutical industry and a screen for colonialist projections onto the rainforest .

the effects are dated , and the sequels utterly killed freddy krueger’s menace , but the first film is still creepy , in its way . the premise is amazingly disturbing – a dead child molester is attacking children in their dreams – and , combined with some of the deeply weird nightmare imagery in this film , it’s more than enough to give anyone a few sleepless nights . all together now : one , two , freddy’s coming for you…
in a suite of photographs from her new project , the silent general , an - my lê examines allusions to the past in modern - day louisiana . in one image , a monument to a confederate army general quietly interrupts a quotidian urban landscape ; another captures a moment on the set of a recent film about a confederate army deserter . as in so many of lê’s works , in these images the imagined past and the actual present coexist in the same frame , begging the question : when does history end and the present begin ? taken as a group , the photographs propose that perhaps history never ends , that the raw materials of america’s bloodiest war—issues of race , class , labor , and wealth—are still deeply enmeshed in the landscape of the united states and the fabric of its society .

we’d love your help . let us know what’s wrong with this preview of the other sister by dianne dixon .
good acting and even entretaining , but the other sister present a strong sentimentalism and an embarrassing way to use the mental problems as a good plot .
the other sister has a good heart . it salutes family unity and maximizing one ' s potential . but fuzzy sexual morals make it inappropriate viewing .
because of this , and the real other sister’s wedding malarky , the other sister runs over two hours long , and while there is a perverse pleasure to watching such an amazing train wreck , you still feel every one of those minutes . it’s not structured well enough to just be a fun bad movie .

the other sister centers around the love / hate relationship between two adult twin sisters . much of the conflict comes from their resentment of each other , but also their inability to live without the other . on another level , it also shows a very dark side of humanity , as most of the main characters are deeply flawed , and in some cases , utterly despicable human beings . the novel starts with a wedding , where most of the main characters are introduced , and from the beginning there are problems . we a

in a way , i can understand the “we never tried this angle before ! ” appeal of the other sister . it offers a new kind of movie romance for people to fawn over , with an added jolt of condescending warmth and sweetness audiences loved five years earlier with forrest gump . it also had the benefit of juliette lewis and giovanni ribisi , two actors seemingly put on this planet to play mentally challenged people . from that perspective , sure . why not make the other sister ?

the other sister deftly portrays caring parents struggling to release a child they ' re not confident is capable of stepping into adulthood ( a universal anxiety ) . furthermore , the movie—which includes very few profanities—deserves credit for exalting kindness , unconditional love , patience and the institution of marriage .

once again as milo tells it , on the one hand nannerl was fortunate . she and ‘wolfie’ as she called him ( sounding like volfie with the vague and at times overly garbled austrian accent milo employs ) loved each other quite deeply and enjoyed playing , touring together as young musicians and expanding their musical talents in tandem . but it’s the other hand that the other mozart is most concerned with and it’s by far the larger hand .
the story of two sisters with contrasting childhoods and opportunities , unaware of each other’s existence , caught in the ‘tangled web’ of their mother’s secrets and deceptions .

this is a mix that i built using a song from the motion picture
the other sister
overdubbed with condensed dialog from the film ' s soundtrack at the beginning of the song ( and then the song finishes playing through by itself ) . the film ' s story rolls on with absolutely brilliant character portrayal from both juliette lewis and giovanni ribisi and will always remain very high on my list of all - time faves .
the other sister
is the kind of uber - safe studio picture that ' s begging for one review and one review only - -
the feel - good movie of the year .
there ' s not a stylistic gesture in marshall ' s repertoire - - nothing - - that springs from anything but the last preciously ill - informed bucket of treacle that made a killing at the box office .
and perhaps there is a version of this movie that could work . this isn’t it , however . instead , garry marshall’s the other sister is an offensive clash of tones , fantasy , and old people fears that i found flat - out embarrassing from beginning to end . it also warmed my heart a little .

the other sister has always seemed like an urban legend to me . i knew it existed but found its premise difficult to believe and sort of assumed i heard wrong or there was some miscommunication . there’s just no way someone would make a romantic dramedy where juliette lewis and giovanni ribisi play mentally challenged youngsters who fall in love .
there ' s a smattering of bad language in

but that’s just the tip of the iceberg . a lot of the other sister ’s problems have to do with tone . it wants to be a lot cuter than it is . so when clara struggles through one of her mother’s mandated tennis lessons , we hear “she drives me crazy” on the soundtrack like we’re watching some kind of late ‘80s corey & corey movie . actually , a ton of the movie feels like it was made in the 1980s . the only real giveaway is a smashmouth song .

rodin ' s the kiss was originally part of the the gates of hell composition . however , it was removed from this piece as the artist considered it as a state of happiness that did not fit the rest of the piece . when rodin produced this piece individually in 1889 it was immediately popular with critics . as a result of this success the artist received two further commissions for marble copies of the sculpture . one was for carl jacobsen for a museum in copenhagen and the other was for the art collector edward perry warren . today perry warren ' s copy resides in the tate gallery , london while the original the kiss is in the musee rodin in paris , france .

impressionism is a movement that stylistically can only be defined in terms of painting . for this reason it is difficult to link the sculptures of auguste rodin with this movement other than the fact that they happened at the same time and rodin knew many of impressionism ' s most famous artists on a social level .

the cover of this book beckoned me . the old brown suitcase on the old chair is just too much to resist . when i was about 20 pages into dianne dixon’s new novel , the other sister , i wasn’t sure that i would finish it , much less like it . it’s the story of twins morgan and ali . morgan comes off as whiny , lost in feeling sorry for herself . i’m glad i didn’t give up on this one ; by page 50 , i couldn’t put it down . morgan and ali are fraternal twins , different as two people can be . ali is drop - dead gor
despite the sea of bullshit at play in the other sister , and despite the film’s sluggish pacing and bloated running time , i have to admit it pulled my heartstrings now and then , particularly any time hector elizondo’s musician / painter / vietnam vet shows up to be dennis’ unofficial caretaker and best pal . but most of the movie is pretty rough to behold . a sense of genuine embarrassment ( i know i’ve used that word already , but there’s no better way to put it ) kind of ruins any of the fun goofiness one might mine from the movie . having said all that , i do feel like this is one of the best movies from the best year in cinematic history . if only for this :
although rossetti was a frequent contributor to her brother dante ' s pre - raphaelite journal the germ , she achieved immediate and significant recognition as a skilled poet with the 1862 publication of goblin market and other poems . the publication of the volume was hailed as the first literary success of the pre - raphaelites , earned critical and popular acclaim , and paved the way for the publication of rossetti ' s next volume of poetry , the prince ' s progress and other poems ( 1866 ) . rossetti went on to publish religious poetry , devotional prose , and nursery rhymes for children . due to the early success of
goblin market ,
rossetti rarely fell out of favor with critics or her reading public and remains a focal point of critical study of nineteenth - century literary figures .

the film is inspired by the scriptural text of ‘ yoga vasistham’ which explains the unfolding mystery of the life of lord rama . the film depicts the tale of a boy entrapped inside a ‘zone’ from which he escapes temporarily only to return and find himself elevated from the worldly pleasures . he rejects liberation and ‘merges’ into the ‘black’ bearing the sorrow of the future .

the story is about the city , where people from all parts of the country come in search of work and embark on their own individual journeys . priorities and choices we make as individuals under circumstances make us who we are . honesty has an opportunity cost and our stakes get defined by it . all the characters in the film at different stages of breaking out from their compartmentalized identities that society forces upon them . some individuals stay inside and revolt by being indifferent and ignoring the need to make a choice which affects the other person . they end up staying in their own little islands . while others , take a higher risk , put more at stake , faith in a chance encounter and having the belief that they will connect with each other .
thank you netgalley and the publishers for this arc in exchange for an honest review . the story is about ali and morgan , fraternal twins , one has everything and the other has nothing . this was as far as i got ! unfortunately i couldn ' t finish it as it just didn ' t work for me . the story didn ' t flow at all and i was quite disappointed after reading the description .
the basic structure of the poem lends itself to a reading of
goblin market
as a christian allegory of temptation , fall , and redemption , and some critics have contended that this is the main purpose of the tale . in this reading , laura represents the biblical eve who yields to temptation , and lizzie is the christ figure who sacrifices herself to save her sister . yet other scholars have maintained that the sexual language of the poem compromises its reading as a moral tale . additionally , some aspects of the poem fail to coincide with the allegory . for example , as several critics have noted , laura ' s desire itself is never criticized by either the poem ' s narrator or by lizzie , and lizzie ' s act is not one of overcoming temptation or desire , for she never longs for goblin fruit herself . this , some critics argue , undercuts lizzie ' s standing as a christ figure .

as the girls got older , joan’s anger and physicality , as olivia tells it , only increased . joan would slap her face , time after time , with olivia turning the other cheek . when olivia could take no more , she would pull joan’s hair , and epic hairy tugs - of - war would ensue . olivia concedes that joan—who liked to complain that olivia was an all - too - avid believer in the rights of primogeniture—resented wearing olivia’s hand - me - down dresses and shoes ; she would deliberately step on olivia’s heels when following her up the stairs . in her people jeremiad , joan turned baby jane on her sister , claiming that olivia would terrorize her by reading the crucifixion story from the bible aloud .
i read the book of someday a few years ago and really enjoyed it . so when i saw that dianne dixon had a new novel out , i was excited to read it . i wasn ' t sure what to expect , as it sounded like a cross between a story about sibling relationships and a psychological thriller . and i was right about that . the other sister is an intriguing story . there was a lot of build - up , along with an element of mystery . i had trouble putting it down once i picked it up , as i needed to see where the story would g
alex hirsch and rick and morty co - creator justin roiland are not only friends , but have voiced characters on each other show ' s . they ' ve also put in numerous easter eggs for fun in each of their works .
which hinted at the possibility of female authorship : ' we do not actually assert that the author must have been a governess himself , to describe as he does the minute torments and incessant tediums of her life , but he must have bribed some governess very largely , either with love or money , to reveal to him the secrets of her prison - house ' . yet even this reviewer concludes that the heroine is ' a sort of younger sister to
the surprises are interesting , but not enough to save the film from itself .

the draping was beautiful and exactly what the bride was hoping for .
lemon drops did a wonderful job decorating the day of my wedding . they really listened to my vision and recreated it on time and on budget . i would definitely recommend them for other events / weddings . i know you wont be disappointed , they do it all !
alongside every great man is a woman who may be as wildly talented and unique as he is . yes , of course , that’s not the way the saying goes . but permit here the morphing of the phrase for the sake of nannerl . never heard of her ? well , what if we told you her last name was mozart ? and that she was the great virtuoso’s older sister . sure , this will allow you to place her firmly into the family tree , but it leaves out the most interesting part . apparently she was just as musically talented as her famous younger sibling .
“could it have been me ? could even a little of it have been mine ? ” these are the questions that haunt nannerl mozart at the close of the 75 - minute show as she contemplates her famous brother’s career . laid out chronologically , this history lesson as entertainment show snapshots us through the life of the mozart siblings as told from the perspective of his lost - to - obscurity sister . but before the fame , before the questions and even before the virtuoso brother was born , there was nannerl , single child of a salzburg music teacher father and a traditional housewife . it’s this youngster that we meet at the start of milo’s stylized , girl - powerless show .
brother and sister live in a unfriendly city . they suffer abject poverty . in the day - to - day existence , they are constantly insulted and humiliated . poor and unhappy , they try to recall the days when they were glad and contended . this takes them to the old house they once lived , in the suburbs . apart from an old man living , the house is deserted . the old man allows them to spend a night there . they went there to feel happy amidst their memories , but the past has something else in store .
can hope be found in the most unusual places among the most unlikely characters ? a young women transvestite prostitute , kusum , locked up in her room , gears up for a regular night like any other . just then enters purab , an out of job english literature teacher suffering from tourette syndrome and obsessive compulsive behavior . without a clue of the local language , he spents his meager savings to spend one night with a girl and finds himself stuck with a boy ! both can’t understnd what the other is saying . all hell breaks loose ! will these two people , manage a connection ? perhaps like a flowerbud bursting through a crack in the wall , an unexpected begining will see them through .
olivia was perplexed by the little sister’s insistence that she had to follow the big sister’s hard - earned career path , but she finally buckled to joan’s intransigence . yet she drew the line at sharing her name in hollywood . “i gave her examples of younger sisters who changed their names and had the best careers , ” olivia says . “loretta young and sally blane , for instance . i even offered her an incentive : change your name and you can come to hollywood and live with me and mummy , who was moving down to be my guardian because i was not yet of age . but she wouldn’t budge . she wanted to do it exactly as i was doing it , all by herself . ”
the documentary takes a look at the armenian community in kolkata , the americans had arrived much before the city had its name . they are credited with having built the oldest building of the city , apart from having a unique identity of their own .

the permanence of elements defines the basic character of any space . a space may have a tendency towards being incoherent for the average human perception . for everyday inhabitants the seemingly uninhabitable space becomes in contrast , a part of their accustomed daily life . the presence of elements coupled with the routine of the inhabitants from the crux of ‘panchabhuta’ .

2016 , the intro is an homage to the gravity falls main title theme .
that god would smile on olivia in the decade ahead with two best - actress statuettes , not to mention two new york film critics circle best - actress awards , plus countless other accolades . nonetheless , she had seen up close and personal how cruel hollywood could be . the seeds of her eventual departure for paris were watered by the tears she shed on oscar night in 1940 .
i don’t know how much veracity there is in the idea that two mentally challenged people would glob onto each other like this . maybe it happens all the time . but it nevertheless feels like an amazingly hollywood conceit . danny and carla fall in love largely by default . they sort of get to know each other by trying to figure out the city’s bussing system and watching the graduate over and over again . seriously , bussing and the graduate are prominent enough to be considered subplots . this is especially funny regarding the graduate . they are both very taken by the part where dustin hoffman interrupts katharine ross’ wedding , so much so that danny at one point recreates the scene kind of like in wayne’s world 2 . but when we see them watch the film , they actually turn it off before the happy onscreen couple takes that uncertain bus ride . it seems explicit that garry marshall would prefer we forget that part and its implications so he can suck up all the sweetness for his own film , ignoring the original’s sour coda . diabolical !
however , summer becomes much more interesting for the siblings after dipper inadvertently uncovers a cryptic journal that offers insight into the strange and wondrous mysteries of gravity falls . before long , dipper begins noticing the town ' s idiosyncrasies , and with the book in tow and his enthusiastic desire to vanquish evil , he sets out to investigate the town ' s secrets . trapped together in the small isolated town , the twins quickly realize they need each other to battle the imminent mysteries lurking in gravity falls . meanwhile , when he isn ' t busy trying to make a quick buck from his unsuspecting customers , grunkle stan guards his own secret that might hold the key to unlocking the mysteries of gravity falls .
from the planning process , to the day of coordination , their professionalism and friendly demeanor made the whole process such a pleasant experience .
twin brother and sister dipper and mabel pines are in for an unexpected adventure when they spend the summer with their grunkle stan in the mysterious town of gravity falls , oregon , in the disney channel animated comedy

so says sylvia milo , who first encountered nannerl on a trip to vienna’s mozart house , where she saw a portrait of the siblings playing a four - handed piano piece . further research revealed nannerl’s remarkable ( but not banked upon or allowed to develop fully ) talents ( she was a female in the 1700s , after all ) , leading milo to write and star in her one - woman show the other mozart .
none of those recurring glitches or other , one - time bugs i experienced were game - breaking , and most of the time they resulted in a fit of laughter rather than any actual frustration , but they’re definitely present . still , it’s hard to look at those shortcomings as anything other than the small unwanted side effects of building a game as massive , detailed , and rich as wildlands is . in fact , wildlands is so far removed from what most have come to expect from a ghost recon title that it could have benefitted from shedding its sub - franchise namesake and simply standing on its own . it’s certainly got the legs for it .

“the moment we sat down , ” olivia recalls , “the table filled up with seven or eight beautiful young ladies . ” inspired by the attention , errol came to life and turned on the charm . “somehow i couldn’t help myself from being increasingly enraged that errol flynn was paying more attention to the other ladies at the table than he was to me , ” olivia says , still chiding herself for letting emotions overtake her . “here i was , living in paris , happily married to a wonderful frenchman , two great children . why was i having a fit of jealousy over errol flynn ? ” the two icons barely spoke for the rest of the dinner . “when the ball was over , i said good night and left in a cab by myself , ” she says .
both of them were alienated then they met . they spoke to each other . they shared personal memories . hesitation created distances between them . both of them fought their own emotions . gradually , they became good friends . was it really supposed to happen ? where has their feminine ego gone ?
basically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley’s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . …
