you may not have noticed , but adam sandler has a new comedy in theaters . the cobbler , which is also out on vod , has gotten only a nominal theatrical release , tiny , in fact , for a star like sandler . but that ' s not surprising , considering it has the distinction of being the worst reviewed movie at the 2014 toronto international film festival . the cobber ' s dismal 7 % on rotten tomatoes isn ' t actually an unusual thing for a sandler film — he ' s proven himself critic - proof long before reviled hits like jack and jill and grown ups — but the drubbing is definitely a new experience for the cobbler ' s director : indie darling thomas mccarthy .

in the process , calvert completely re - edited the film , removing many of williams ' s scenes and adding songs and voice - overs that he felt would make it more marketable . animation done under calvert was not up to williams ' s standards . calvert ' s version was issued by majestic films international in australia and south africa in 1993 as the princess and the cobbler . this was later reedited with additional voiceovers by miramax family films in the united states in 1995 as arabian knight ( later released under the film ' s original title , the thief and the cobbler , on home video ) . neither version was a box office success , being released to only a handful of theaters . however , what survives of williams ' s original vision for his unfinished film has given the film a legendary status among animation professionals and fans , who consider it a cult film and every bit the masterpiece it was intended to be .

persistence of vision is a 2012 documentary by kevin schreck , about richard williams and the doomed production of the thief and the cobbler , which the film calls
the greatest animated film never made .
it has received many awards at festivals and has gotten a very positive critical reception . garrett gilchrist and helge bernhardt of the recobbled cut and richard williams archive provided rare materials to schreck for his production , which was funded via kickstarter .
williams took on television and feature - film title projects in order to fund his pet project , and work on his film progressed slowly . in 1969 , the guide noted that animator ken harris was now working on the project , which was now entitled the amazing nasruddin . the illustrations from the film showed intricate indian and persian designs .

the cobbler became mccarthy’s next film due to some scheduling changes . the filmmaker had originally planned to helm spotlight , based on the boston globe ‘s efforts to expose child abuse within the catholic church . however , the project is still looking for a new studio , after parting ways with dreamworks , and has yet to finalize any casting .
the castings were announced on tuesday , two days after the studio made a presentation to buyers at the american film market in santa monica .
this film was originally seen for advice , at which stage the company was informed it was likely to be classified 15 but that their preferred 12a could be achieved by reducing two scenes featuring blood and injury detail . when the film was submitted for formal classification , these scenes had been reduced acceptably and the film was therefore classified 12a .

the cobbler
may seem like a heartwarming tale from it ' s trailers , but on screen it is just a string of things that do not work whatsoever . adam sandler leads this film as the fourth generation son in his family to become a cobbler , repairing the shoes of customers in need . after stumbling upon the fact that each pair of his customers shoes allows him to literally step into their shoes and become them , an unfocussed storyline ensues . from drugs , to robbery , to murder , this film is all over the place , while still trying to give you the emotional undertone it promises from the very beginning . i was disappointed with how little dustin hoffman is in this film , but adam sandler does hold it together with a solid performance , and that was sadly one of the only decent parts of this picture . it never strives to be anything more and never has a full explanation . i feel that the writers should have fleshed out this story more and had more cohesive events building up to the twist . overall , this is a pretty forgettable film , with nice performances and a lived in atmosphere . i admired a few aspects , but it kept failing on it ' s promise too much for me to care .

what’s so bizarre about “the cobbler” is that it was directed by a man who , up to this point , had never helmed even a mediocre film , much less a disaster . if this was just another happy madison joint , it might make more sense , but thomas mccarthy has proven himself deft at presenting us complex characters in films like “the visitor” and “win win . ” by the end of those pieces , we really felt like we had walked a mile in someone else’s shoes , and were richer for the experience . only masochists are made richer by

the cobbler is sandler branching out , certainly ; the prospect of an affecting human drama helmed by indie auteur darling tom mccarthy must have been an exciting one , light - years away from the likes of jack and jill . mccarthy , for his part , went on to score big at the oscars with spotlight , nabbing best picture and best original screenplay in the process . with this kind of pedigree behind the camera , sandler would seem the obvious scapegoat to blame if the cobbler turned out to be a unique milestone in what - the - fuck cinema .
so it was hardly surprising that in cobbler nevada , llc v . gonzales ( ord 15 - cv - 00866 ) defense counsel david h . madden moved to dismiss this claim , which was count 2 of the complaint .
the cobbler has been panned by critics . on rotten tomatoes , the film has a rating of 11 % , based on 46 reviews , with a rating of 3 / 10 . the site ' s critical consensus reads ,
the cobbler represents a slight step up from adam sandler ' s recent comedies , but while its cloying sentiment proves a more palatable substitute for his usual crass humor , it still isn ' t terribly compelling .
on metacritic , the film has a score of 22 out of 100 , based on 21 critics , indicating
generally unfavorable reviews
. uri klein of haaretz pointed out that while the cobbler is
one of the few times in sandler ' s career in which he has chosen to work for a director with a certain pedigree
, and
the plot has fantastical impersonation elements that links it to comedians of an earlier era , such as jerry lewis and danny kaye
, the result is unsatisfying in terms of both plot and characters . ( wikipedia )
in his directorial debut . but when the film ' s producer t . e . vasudevan decided to shoot the film in colour which would be much more expensive than planned , an experienced director was required . the search ended in film producer t . r . sundaram who was a friend of vasudevan and had previously directed a few hit films . sethumadhavan eventually made his debut with vasudevan ' s next feature
there was also the issue of original footage , but schreck soon learned clips from the the thief and the cobbler had been hoarded by collectors . one such collector was garrett gilchrist , who pieced together the fan restoration the thief and the cobbler : the recobbled cut ( watch here ) in 2006 . more came from people who originally worked on the film . one animator even uncovered some analog u - matic tapes and converted them to digital for schreck to use .
it turned out to be roughly two hours of animation that nobody had seen in over two decades , some footage dating back to the 1960s , ” schreck said . all together the fan collections were the components that “made telling this story as a documentary possible . ”
michael costigan ( “ghost in the shell” ) , naomi despres ( “kill the messenger” ) , mohamed alrafi ( “above suspicion” ) and asleton are producing . james is exec producing . global road is handling international sales and shopping the film at the afm , with uta independent film group repping north american rights .
another eeap title , swedens oscar candidate for 2013 , the hypnotist also opened on # 1 with 66 . 000 admissions , beating animated sammys adventures 3d . the film , which is based on the best seller book by lars keppler , is the first swedish film by director lasse hallström in 20 years .
for half the film , “the cobbler” is a well - intentioned but dull affair—a modern fairy tale about stepping into someone else’s shoes that doesn’t do nearly enough with its thematically dense high concept . the piece has no thematic resonance at all because writer / director thomas mccarthy and co - writer paul sado fail to get beyond the superficial . we don’t learn anything about the people that max becomes . in fact , the film is almost defiant in its judgment of books by their covers . he becomes the genetically blessed stevens and a girl hits on him . he becomes his dad and his mom treats him as if he is her lost partner . “the cobbler” suggests that walking a mile in someone else’s shoes will make you look like that person but not actually experience anything else about them .
in the lower east side of new york city in 1903 , a group of jewish men are gathered in the shop of a cobbler to discuss a problem that has been plaguing them . a crook named gergerman has been running their businesses out and harassing the men and their families . the men hand over a pair of gergerman ' s shoes to the cobbler , pinchas simkin . pinchas takes the shoes to the basement of his shop and uses a special stitching machine to work on the shoes . his young son herschel enters , and pinchas explains to him the importance of the machine .
method man is the easy standout , proving to be the most memorable piece of a film that embraces its slightness to warm hearts and lets the rest come what may .
writing for grantland , wesley morris said :
in two days at toronto , [ the cobbler ] had achieved the kind of odious renown that inspires people to shake their heads and wave both hands while wincing and leaning back from you .
the film of the book of daisy miller received a rare 100 % rating on rotten tomatoes from 6 critics , but a measly 23 % from audiences .
while sandler’s two previous films underperformed – men , women and children earned a mere $ 2 million worldwide and blended struggled to recoup its $ 40 million budget – reports are suggesting that the cobbler only made about $ 24 , 000 at the us box office in its opening weekend . the film was released in 20 cinemas , making an average of $ 1 , 200 at each .
the smithsonian magazine named beaufort to its “ 20 best small towns to visit in 2014 ” list earlier this year , but you’d never know it from visiting . life in beaufort moves at the same pace it always has , and although locals have plenty of stories about run - ins with conroy and some big - name movie stars , they remain down to earth in their little corner of paradise .
the cobbler was a litigant to lawsuit , [ 19 ] where an individual was accused of illegally downloading this movie . [ 20 ] the significance is that the judge ruled that the ip address provided by the internet service provider did not meet the test to definitively associate a person with a specific activity .

the cobbler
is almost fascinatingly awful enough to recommend . if one subscribes to the theory that you can learn as much from a bad movie as from a good one , this one ' s a master class in what not to do .
is it game over for adam sandler ? his new comedy , “ pixels , ” opened over the weekend to a mediocre $ 24 million , a disappointing result for the $ 88 million project . sandler’s latest box office lemon comes on the heels of “the cobbler” ( sandler’s lowest - grossing title ever , which opened to just $ 24 , 000 from 20 theaters in march ) , 2014’s “blended” ( the drew barrymore reteaming that mustered $ 46 million ) , “that’s my boy” ( a pairing with andy samberg that eked out $ 37 million ) and “jack and jill” ( the cross - dressing comedy that landed some of the worst reviews of his career ) . his only recent hits have been the 2013 sequel to “grown ups” ( which netted $ 133 million ) and “hotel transylvania , ” an animated film that didn’t require him to be onscreen .
the increasing number of film directors working in television has taken on a variety of forms . for example , agnieszka holland and david slade directed the pilot episodes of
“the cobbler” is almost fascinatingly awful enough to recommend . if one subscribes to the theory that you can learn as much from a bad movie as from a good one , this one’s a master class in what not to do . what starts off as purely harmless mediocrity piles on the narrative and filmmaking mistakes to such a degree that it’s like watching a train wreck…that bursts into flames…and then another train crashes into it . there’s something perversely fascinating about a film that doesn’t just go off the rails but does so in such misguided fashion . and it’s all the more remarkable when you consider that “the cobbler” was made by an undeniably talented filmmaker , the man who has given the world great films like “ the station agent , ” “ the visitor , ” and “ win win . ” this film is so inferior to those works that it almost disproves the auteur theory on its own .
because of his success , williams received funding and a distribution deal for the thief and the cobbler with warner bros . pictures : they signed a negative pickup deal in 1988 . williams also got some money from japanese investors . [ 8 ] [ 14 ]
the recobbled cut has been revised several times with better - quality footage . the
mark 2
version released in 2006 incorporated parts of fred calvert ' s animation from a timecoded widescreen vhs version of the princess and the cobbler . the
mark 3
version released in 2008 incorporated 21 minutes from a 49 - minute reel of rare 35mm film , saved from jean maccurdy ' s trash at warner bros . by an animator .
for all the cult interest in the thief and the cobbler now , schreck’s film doesn’t shy away from showing the problems williams encountered . like the fact that the film’s protagonist bore a striking resemblance to jafar from walt disney’s aladdin ( 1992 ) , a fact that could pose a liability for williams ' s studio , warner bros . “it ' s hard to say how much was deliberate theft , accidental inspiration , or mere coincidence , ” schreck says of the likeness , allowing that it might be a combination of the three . all the same , a bad situation : “whatever it is , it wasn ' t good for williams . ”
it especially wasn’t good for williams’s testy relationship with warner bros . , and would be one of the reasons why the studio contractually pulled the thief and the cobbler from his control . ( others included the fact he couldn’t make their preordained deadline , and they didn’t like an initial rough cut . ) warner bros . installed the film at miramax family films , which ultimately butchered schreck’s vision—making it more disneyesque , with a slick musical soundtrack—under the new title arabian knight ( 1995 ) .
robert rodriguez is teaming with producer alexander rodnyansky to hatch a sequel to the 2010 action film machete . titled machete kills , the film is the second in a planned trilogy with what , for my money , is the best ever trailer tag line : “this time , they fucked with the wrong mexican ! ” the film will be produced and financed by alexander rodnyansky , whose hollywood expansion plans include a $ 120 million film fund with media talent group’s geyer kosinski . ar films u . s . is a new partnership between ar films and aldamisa entertainment , whose sergei bespalov will manage worldwide sales of machete kills in berlin .
. the film is famous for its animation and its long , troubled history : williams worked for 28 years on the project . beginning production in 1964 , williams intended
had few differences to the final cut . as it has been found by the fandom on the internet , the film was originally going to be running for 110 minutes . when britt is pushed by the audiences against her wishes , the film only got about in 85 minutes and it is one of the few reasons why the film got unfavorably negative reviews from fans british , australian , american , and canadian . later it gained a cult - following from the internet as the thomas fans on the internet , new and old , wanted the uncut version to be released , however , the original script can be found online .


taylor chain i & ii are a pair of documentary films , produced by kartemquin films , that first examine a seven-week workers ' strike at a hammond , indiana , chain manufacturing plant and then follow the collective bargaining process of the same plant one decade later .

originally released by kartemquin as two separate short documentaries in 1980 and 1984 , taylor chain i & ii were released together to show how the decade-long labor movement was affected by the recession and anti-union legislation of the early 1980s .

taylor chain i : the story in a union local begins in the 1970s , as workers at the taylor chain manufacturing plant begin negotiations with management for a new contract .

cameras go from the factory floor into the union hall , as workers both young and old argue about stipulations within proposed contracts .

the negotiations lead to a seven-week strike , as the union takes to the picket line .

eventually , both sides make concessions and the workers return to work .

taylor chain ii : the story of collective bargaining begins ten years later , in the early 1980s , as both workers and management are attempting to save the plant as recession and globalization have reduced the factory 's workforce drastically .

the union and management sit across from one another in a holiday inn conference room , trying to come to a compromise that will both save the plant as well as take care of the workforce .

in the end , the two sides come to an agreement , but it is not enough to save taylor chain from closure .

directed by jerry blumenthal and gordon quinn , taylor chain i was the winner of the 1980 william friedkin award at the chicago international film festival .

also directed by blumenthal and quinn , taylor chain ii won the first award at the 1985 international labor communications association film & broadcast competition .

broadcast on public television , taylor chain i & ii have been praised for their realistic glimpse into the lives of blue-collar workers .

the taylor chain bit is has an action between a waterford and a snaffle . the short length of twisted chain allows it to take the shape of the tongue and as a result distributing the pressure across the tongue like a waterford . the ends the mouth piece act more like a snaffle exerting pressure on the bars .
in 1981 - 2 , the kartemquin filmmakers returned to the taylor chain plant to show labor and management working together against the odds , trying to save the plant from becoming the latest victim of anti - union legislation and the globalization of cheap , exploitable labor .
beginning this friday september 16th and continuing through september 26th , the ucla film and television archive and the international documentary association ( ida ) will host a 15 - film ktq retrospective at the billy wilder theater in los angeles . kartemquin artistic director and founder gordon quinn sat down with ucla for an interview during which quinn discussed the mission , values , past and future of kartemquin . find an excerpt below :
with a noted tradition of nurturing emerging talent and acting as a leading voice for independent media , kartemquin is building on more than 50 years of history as chicago’s documentary powerhouse .

love and death are two of the most obsessively recurring themes in french cultural production . this module looks at how love and death are represented in a range of french texts , images and films from the medieval period to the present day , tracing the development of these themes and considering the extent to which they are interdependent . we discuss the frequent conflicts between lovers and society , examining how society may isolate lovers , and condemn love relationships deemed to fall outside the norm . the set texts / films chart a wide range of human love relationships . death is revealed as the inevitable subtext , and potential outcome , of all these relationships .

besides being one of woody ' s most consistently witty films ,
love and death
marks a couple of other advances for mr . allen as a film maker and for miss keaton as a wickedly funny comedienne .
the game is definitely one of the few adult - oriented games to have ever been released , showing encounters with tragedy , death and illness all in the ways we humans deal with such issues : reclusiveness , humour and confusion . and firewatch has buckets of emotion that will make those lingering thoughts about love and death you have each day last that little bit longer .
love and death
has been mapped out as a fully thought - through film . it ' s a lot more mature than the anything - goes style of earlier allen movies like
bananas .

we do not choose whom we love . . . we can only choose how well .
the book is about a game played for centuries by love and death in which they choose two babies who are destined to fall in love . or not . that is , they ' re destined to live happily ever after or die . isn ' t it so cool ? ! isn ' t it what wet dreams are made of ? !

whichever side of yang’s work you may know , the release of his new book , william yang : stories of love and death ( 2016 ) ( from an exhibition of the same name ) gives us the chance to see it in a new light .
with such a ponderous theme — the existential love - time - death triangle — and a super cast , we expect brilliant insights , deep revelations , something we can take home with us to share with friends and family , to grow , even to reinvent ourselves . instead , we learn that love is creation , death is destruction , and time is what happens in between , a cliché reflection that frankly is quite wrong and oversimplified — something from a hallmark card . the critics reacted in frustration and disappointment , as they watched a movie with so much potential drown in empty platitudes .

an arc of this title was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review . my thoughts are my own . this review ( and a giveaway thru 5 / 4 ! ) can also be found at the starry - eyed revue . the game of love and death was absolutely exquisite . it was eloquent and beautiful , and you can ' t help but be pulled into the love story of henry and flora . but this story wasn ' t just about the romance ; there ' s also a lesson or two in there about overcoming fear , among other things .

the game of love and death is positively packed with particulars to ponder . love is a man , death a woman . each chooses a competitor , a term i use loosely ; the chosen do not actually compete . most people are unaware of the game , even while participating . virtually no rules , a victor is declared ; but the win seems superfluous . flora , an amazing aviation mechanic , is also a phenomenal pilot , possibly rivaling amelia earhart . it is 1937 and she “has the brown skin , and here in america , ( you ) pay so
love and death , woody allen ' s hilarious satire of classic russian literature , might properly be described as tolstoy meets the marx bros . , as he and diane keaton get caught up in an uproariously funny plot to assassinate napoleon in 1812 . in 19th - century russia , boris grushenko ( woody allen ) falls in love with his beautiful cousin sonja ( diane keaton ) , . . . read more

life and death row tells the story of capital punishment through the eyes of young people whose lives have been shaped by it . with unprecedented access inside prison walls , it discovers what it ' s like to live with the threat of the death chamber , as well as hearing from victims and their families , and the family of those on death row - some praying for execution , some hoping for a reprieve . each episode focuses on different aspects of the system : execution , punishment and the complex nature of ‘truth’ .
fortunately , a few years later they met up again , and she had put the episode behind her . a friendship developed between them , and blossomed into love .
loud and punishing , the sonics of no love deep web suit mc ride ' s mix of hysteria , rage and exhaustion . perhaps epic has concerns about death grips ' ability to make a marketable record ; as death grips are arguably the most challenging act on a major label right now ( or last week , at least ) , that much is founded . but their ability to integrate every part into cohesive tracks - - in other words , to marry their sound to their fury - - is rare . after a string of shows in the spring , death grips canceled all subsequent dates to finish no love deep web . that ' s a questionable career move , but the effort and attention show here at every turn .
dnf i ' m putting this aside for the time being and since i didn ' t properly finish it , i didn ' t feel i should give it a rating . based on the bit i did read , i do think that the author has a great premise with this book .
someday , everyone you love will die . everything you love will crumble to ruin . this is the price of life . this is the price of love . it is the only ending for every true story .
it begins in march of 1937 . it ' s about a game , played by love and death over the course of centuries . they c
there are worse things in life than death . if you ' ve ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman you know what i mean .
by creating live performances , they note , yang has managed to re - use the photographs in a different setting - giving them a longer and more animated life . yang’s story - telling skills are a means of sharing experiences that are common to all humanity – love , pain , connection , death and grief .
3 . 5 / 5 stars ! i liked : the idea of the game itself ; the complexity of the characters of love and death ; the setting in 1930s seattle ; the way issues like race and sexuality were incorporated and handled in the story ; some twists and turns i totally didn ' t expect and that threw me off . i disliked : henry ' s cheesy and over the top declarations of love and the way he threw all of his former life away way too quickly when he met flora ; the ending and particularly the way a certain ' s character ' s fate ( vi
love - death - time : the existential triangle at the core of ' collateral beauty ' : 13 . 7 : cosmos and culture despite overall poor reviews , a saving grace of the film is that the plot makes us reflect on our own losses and how we choose to deal with them , says commentator marcelo gleiser .
then it was time to showcase love you to death , with the band playing stop desire , white knuckles , that girl and faint of heart in quick succession . sara was noticeably relieved after that section of the set . it was the first time they had played most of the new songs live .
i can ' t do this review without mentioning the fantastic personified versions of love and death . i went into this wrongly assuming that death would be male and love female . i don ' t know why , i think it ' s from other well known personifications i know where that had been the case . i was surprised but delighted that brockenbrough didn ' t go down that route . the interactions between these two were fascinating to me , the two have centuries worth of back story and i would probably give up by first born - sorry , future first born ! - in order to get a prequel story about those two .
i used to love her but i had to kill her i had to put her six feet under and i can still hear her complain .
the flip - side of yang’s documentation of death is the joyful celebration of the lgbt sydney scene : a world of parties , diversity , excess and difference that slides into the slightly debauched .

the first verse of this song paints a picture of a sordid love triangle . maybe even a love hexagon . unless you ' re getting married in utah it ' s not going to be very romantic or inspirational to a new couple and should be avoided at all costs on the big day
. joy division ' s seminal classic seems to bemoan the death of a relationship due to a couple ' s priorities changing - rather than any actual physical dismemberment .
if life didn ' t end . . . there would be no need for me . to choose love in the face of death is the ultimate act of courage . i am the joy , but you are the meaning . together , we make humanity more than it otherwise might have been .
3 stars had i read my friends ' reviews a little more carefully , i probably would ' ve steered clear of this ya romance , not necessarily because of the romantic elements , but because of the fantastical nature of the romance . for henry and flora , an ill - fated mixed race couple in the 1930 ' s , are under the thrall of love and death , two shape - shifting immortals who choose henry and flora as babies to be unknowing participants in a game ( as immortals are wont to to play ) . if henry and flora fall in love
why ? because they are frank - whether historical records of yang’s chinese descendants or memorials of the gay protest movement - and they are mortal . the photographs chart a moment in the race towards death .
so the next two almost didn’t make the list because they were deemed “too girly” by some male folk i know ( husband , included ) . i still love these songs , though , and they’re not really played to death at weddings which means they’re perfect for this list . my teenage self is really happy with me right now , btw .
”someday , everyone you love will die . everything you love will crumble to ruin . this is the price of life . this is the price of love . it is the only ending for every true story . ” 3 . 5 out of 5 stars synopsis : two teenagers are forced to play a game they never wanted to be a part of , where they must either fall in love or succumb to their deaths . and you thought the hunger games was vicious . biblio - babble is this just a game ? : the game that the title alludes to is alternately a rather simple pre
what can be saved , and made me go see the movie despite reading the reviews ( apart from watching the always brilliant helen mirren play death ) , is that the unviability of the plot makes us reflect about the losses we experienced during our lives , and how we chose to deal with them ( or not ) . if there is a
collateral beauty ,
perhaps it finds its expression in the chances we have in life to reinvent ourselves , moved by the twin engines of love and death , thankful for having the time , at least occasionally , to redirect our expectations .

we searched and searched and searched for a red house painters that could work as a first dance song . the problem , as most rhp fans know , is that while the have gorgeous songs the lyrics are usually about love gone astray ( as most good love songs are ) . but this cover is not , and it’s by the red house painters so it’s a win - win .
however , the love story is hardly the film’s selling point . the film’s greatest asset is its malleability , its ability to transform by sheer will and need to deliver a chuckle .
i am wrapping this up on valentine’s day , and the most genuine , non - vase - oriented gift i can hope for is that the right person reads this , finds jason , and another love story begins .

the key here , i think , is not to think of death as an end . but to think of it more as a very effective way of cutting down on your expenses .

the game of love and death is an exquisite story that i feel everyone should have the pleasure of reading . it made me sad , angry , hopeful , happy and everything above , beyond and in - between . i fell in love with the unique and individual characters , whose lives i came so wrapped up in that i felt far too heavily invested when i actually remembered they were fictional - they never felt it though . brockenbrough brought her characters to life in a way that few authors can . i will be rereading this book for years to come , this is a story i will want to find myself getting lost in over and over again . this is a book to make you think and to make you feel , to make you question and look for answers . i couldn ' t recommend this enough and , even if you hate it , i ' d love to hear your thoughts , if and when you get to experience the story for yourself .
in the end it is shown that brigitte was actually death , meaning what she said about the rule was true . they chose to show themselves to howard only , in the last scene .
that ' s not to say woody isn ' t still largely a verbal comedian , because he is , and one of the movie ' s running gags is an interminable debate about the philosophical and moral choices offered the characters at every turn . but
love and death
has been mapped out as a fully thought - through film . it ' s a lot more mature than the anything - goes style of earlier allen movies like
bananas .
essentially , the film is about tonton ( enchong dee ) and gwen ( kiray celis ) , who during their childhood years , promised that they are to marry each other when they grow up . as with almost all love stories , the two are separated , only to be reunited , but not without a bevy of challenges to test their love .
3 1 / 2 stars . she whispered this into the baby’s ear : someday , everyone you love will die . everything you love will crumble to ruin . this is the price of life . this is the price of love . it is the only ending for every true story . i hardly ever read historical fiction . we all have our favourite genres , mine being fantasy , lgbt and romance and , believe it or not , this book combined all three of them and dispersed them on its 1937 setting . what a fantastic result ! there’s a game being played , the ga

what a gift this book is . what a gift . a gift of love . it reads almost like poetry . every sentence sings . every scene has light in it , and so much love . so much love . it is a story about a boy and a girl who can ' t be together according to those who don ' t want this to happen . they don ' t belong in their eyes . white and black . although it could be anything , not just the color of the skin . it could be a family feud like in romeo in juliet . history is full of those stories . and yet this one is new , s
that throwback section was followed by four more songs from love you to death , including the album’s big single boyfriend . the band cheekily mixed the song , about a woman sending mixed signals , with katy perry’s i kissed a girl . the pre - encore set ended with the band’s massive hit closer , which they dedicated to their great aunt from saskatoon and their mom , both of whom were in the audience .
thank god that ' s over . this was such a boring book , and it literllay took me forever to read . i didn ' t like henry or flora . the only time i was actually interestd in something going on in this book was when i was reading from the perspective of love and death , but even that got boring after a while . the summary sounded so good , and it ' s sad that it turned out to be the only good thing about this book .
the best parts of
love and death
shouldn ' t , of course , be revealed here . comedy ' s hard to review for that reason . you don ' t want to give away the laughs and yet you ' re left with little else to talk about . perhaps i should just point to the acting skill that allen and miss keaton exhibit . there are dozens of little moments when their looks have to be exactly right , and they almost always are . there are shadings of comic meaning that could have gotten lost if all we had were the words , and there are whole scenes that play off facial expressions . it ' s a good movie to watch just for that reason , because it ' s been done with such care , love and lunacy .
my husband danced to this song with his step - mom , and it really was / is a great song . it’s one of those songs you never think about until it comes on and then you’re like “i love this song ! ! ! ”

indecision

tarantino’s terrific twist on the heist - gone - wrong thriller , which ricochets the zing and fizz of its dialogue around a gloriously intense single setting ( for the most part ) and centres the majority of its action around one long and incredibly bloody death scene . oh , and by the way : nice guy eddie was shot by mr . white . who fired twice . case closed .
francine shaw , director and producer , says : “having previously directed long - form documentaries , love triangle presented a fresh and exciting opportunity to make a life and death row story in a short - form series - a form which naturally lends itself to the twists and turns of a police investigation . making it online only was liberating as the content dictates the length of the story , and we could include as many scenes as needed to do it justice . the story world we created around the episodes gives the audience a much more direct connection with the characters and events , as they can choose to explore it in more detail if they want to . ”
i had my bridesmaids walk down the aisle to this song , though i think it could work equally as well for a first dance song . it’s slow and sweet and cat power is unique enough that your music nerd friends will love it and your parents will reminisce about the original version by phil phillips .

as much a technical marvel as it is an acting tour - de - force , damien chazelle’s los angeles love letter proved a ridiculously easy movie to fall in love with , even for those who may have grumbled that they weren’t really into musicals before sitting down to watch it . go on , admit it : you’re still humming another day of sun , aren’t you ?
especially when perceived as posturing for publicity , those appearances make it difficult to realize and articulate the issues that death grips make so urgent . but this is a trio of itinerant transgressors , making impossible demands on the boundaries of rap and punk and rock ' n ' roll and questioning to the core not only what constitutes a proper release but also the standard models for turning music into money . for now , at least , no love deep web is an extraordinary outlier in most every sense , an album with no definitive home or home turf aside from the millions who will likely download it .
how passionate and quietly determined henry was . he just loved flora . he loved her . and even if she was in denial of her feelings for so long . . . . gah . * ships aggressively * i love how all the characters are strong and interesting and dimensional ( all of them ! even the secondary ones ) . i loved how flora wanted to be a pilot and henry played music .

i want to know why we sometimes stay quiet when we know we should not , how to manage grief , and love , and that nagging discomfort we all feel . i want to know how to react in difficult scenarios , how to be open - minded and what to do when i don’t know what to do .
i love this list ! ! thank you so much . some songs were such a welcomed blast from the past that i now need to find a way to include at our reception . we have chosen a not too well known song for our first dance but its by a band we both love : “knock louder” by jr . jr . such a sweet song – we think 🙂
have i mentioned that lately ! ? ! omg . i loved the tragedy and the beautifulness and the ending gave me goosebumps . and i loved all the secondary characters , and i

the final scene . two characters contemplate the end of their relationship against the musical backdrop of a solo violin . the orchestra swells and overwhelms the violin as we simultaneously see the city effortlessly absorb the characters and their relationship . love in the metropolis has never been so beautifully expressed .

i don ' t disagree with the negative criticism , but find it interesting to examine what prompted such a virulent reaction . the film deals with what could arguably be considered the hardest theme to treat dramatically , the loss of a beloved child . howard inlet ( will smith ) , an uber - successful advertising executive — brilliant , charming , a bit like a steve jobs of the market place — loses his 6 - year - old daughter to a rare form of cancer . with the loss goes his will to live , to love , and to interact with other humans . in his despair ( attenuated by wild bike rides across manhattan , often against traffic ) , inlet writes letters to love , time and death , voicing his anger at them . without getting into the details of how ,
