wage states , and particularly to high - wage cities such as boston , san francisco , and new york , to increase their opportunities . by the middle of the nineteen - nineties , things had changed . no longer were low - wage workers moving to these cities . instead , the migration to high - wage locales became increasingly limited to those who already _ _ had high - paying jobs . \u201cnew york and california have always been places of economic opportunity ,\nganong said .\nthe question is : does that opportunity also come with the need to pay a bajillion dollars in rent ? \u201d\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\na slacker is forced to work for his father -

the other 50 % is the work key . either way , once you ' ve identified him , wait for him to cross over into your cell block , and then make your move . you can make a flamethrower or cup of molten chocolate to instantly knock him out . you can also find a bomb surprise or garotting wire watch or sharp tea tray in another spy ' s desk , and they will all serve as instant knockout items , too . once he ' s down , take his henchman uniform . he may also have some memoir tapes on him . take those as well , as they are a necessary component for the voice recording . finally , take his staff key and make a copy of it , but remember to give the staff key back before he wakes up again .\nonce you have the fake fingerprint , the voice recording , and the keycard , you can escape at any time you wish . if you choose to do it at night time however , you will need to create a bed dummy for your bed , as well as use your henchman or guard outfit to avoid being sent to solitary . head to the rocket and use the three items . the left console requires the keycard , the middle console requires the voice recording , and the right console requires the fake fingerprint . once you ' ve put the last item into the consoles , the game will end .\nthis page was last edited on 3 october 2017 , at 19 : 17 .\ncontent is available under cc by -

based independent director john d . hancock , ' ' suspended animation ' ' is a sturdy , well - made piece that never quite overcomes its structural flaws .\ntom kempton ( alex mcarthur ) is a celebrated animator who winters in northern michigan , where a snowmobile accident leads him into the clutches of two weird sisters , vanessa and ann boulette . vanessa ( laura esterman ) is a willowy former dancer and ann ( sage allen ) an overweight homebody , and they have been operating their own girl - power version of the notorious wisconsin farmhouse of the 1950 ' s serial killer ed gein , butchering passers - by and creating knick - knacks and gourmet meals from their body parts .\nafter a slam - bang opening ' ' suspended animation , ' ' which opens today in new york , chicago and los angeles , goes into something of a coma itself with the tedious exposition necessary to get the plot convolutions across . it slowly develops that clara , who is unaware of her heritage , has a sinister 15 - year - old son ( fred meyers ) , who may have inherited his grandmother ' s homicidal tendencies . at least that is tom ' s suspicion when he comes across a mass of human tissue wrapped in aluminum foil and hidden in the boy ' s toolbox .\nthe situation is creepy , but the screenplay by dorothy tristan , mr . hancock ' s wife and frequent collaborator , has trouble transforming it into genuine suspense . the menace remains vague and unfocused until one major character makes a not entirely unexpected reappearance in the last act , by which point much of the tension has been lost .\nfrom the new york times . you may opt - out at any time .\nyou agree to receive occasional updates and special offers for the new york times ' s products and services .\nmr . hancock , however , remains a fine director of actors , and ms . esterman , a gifted stage actress making a rare film appearance , delivers an eerily ambiguous performance , part lovable eccentric and part hannibal lecter . though the film was shot on high - definition video , mr . hancock ' s framing has the steadiness and precision of classic 35 - millimeter filmmaking , and his editing , far from the pointless mtv pyrotechnics in the current remake of ' ' the texas chainsaw massacre , ' ' is all but invisible and much more effective for it .\ndirected by john d . hancock ; written by dorothy tristan ; director of photography , misha suslov ; edited by dennis o ' connor ; music by angelo badalamenti ; production designer , don jacobson ; produced by mr . hancock and robert j . hiler ; released by first run features . at the quad cinema , 34 west 13th street , greenwich village . running time : 114 minutes . this film is not rated .\nwith : alex mcarthur ( tom kempton ) , laura esterman ( vanessa boulette ) , sage allen ( ann boulette ) , rebecca harrell ( hilary kempton ) , maria cina ( clara hansen ) and fred meyers ( sandor hansen ) .\nwe\u2019re interested in your feedback on this page . tell us what you think .\naccessibility concerns ? email us at accessibility @ urltoken . we would love to hear from you .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nyou will get a notification at the top of the site as soon as the current price equals or falls below your price . you can also optionally receive an email notification ( sent only once ) , this is specified in your\nwith our iphone -

phobic animal control officer . . . not a lot ever tends to get done , except by way of confusing the issue further .\nthe lodge members are often famous canadian actors such as graham greene ( edgar ) , gordon pinsent ( hap ) , colin mochrie ( in a small role as hotdog expert frank kepke ) and paul gross ( as naive yuppie kevin black ) .\ni ' m a man , but i can change , if i have to , i guess .\nanother popular segment is\nadventures with bill\n, featuring the title character ' s attempts ( or more accurately , spectacular failures ) to get a grip on the whole outdoorsman gig , in slapstick pantomime shown in black and white and narrated by red .\nthe possum lodge word game\nis a typically loose attempt at a password - esque game show , with red and harold trying to get a lodge member to say a certain word for a prize .\nculture is not unknown here at the lodge , either \u2014 it may be gravely wounded , but it sure isn ' t being ignored . red is often seen in short transitional vignettes playing guitar and singing ( accompanied by harold on spoons or homemade drum ) , or reciting poetry . occasionally he simply addresses his fellow middle - aged schlubs directly and rather poignantly , concluding with\nremember , i ' m pulling for ya , we ' re all in this together .\nthe show always ends with the sounds of the lodge meeting beginning , in the basement . red stays upstairs for a moment to deliver a quasi - aesop and a message to his wife , bernice .\noften the opening of the lodge meeting will run behind the closing credits , with the studio audience as the lodge members .\nand to the rest of you , thanks for watching . on behalf of myself and harold and the whole gang up here at possum lodge , keep your stick on the ice .\nthe entire series can be watched for free on the show ' s official youtube channel .\naccidental aiming skills : in the black - and - white segment of\nguinness world records\n, red and dalton are attempting to destroy a lamp by putting rocks and balls in slingshots , and thwarting mike ' s attempts to just whack it with a board . after they build a supersized slingshot that accidentally launches mike into a tree ( instead of the bowling ball they intended to launch ) , mike gets angry , picks up the board , and throws it . . . straight into the lamp .\naffectionate parody : both poking fun at , and celebrating , the foibles of middle - aged men .\nthe red green book , authored by the show ' s creators and published in 1995 , contains lots of interesting trivia about the lodge . for instance , lodge membership is open to all genders , all races , religions and sexual orientations . to get in , you just need to have access to tools , trucks , building materials , explosives , medical supplies , legal services or cash .\nthe names of some of the segments were revealed in the book too . the segment where two lodge members give the viewers advice on how to get out of a jam with their wives is called buddy system , while the segment where red gives a monologue to his fellow middle - aged men while sitting at a desk winding a fishing lure is called north of 40 .\nmotor vehicle used , seen or mentioned in the series . including buzz ' s seaplanes .\none of the articles in red green talks cars : a love story told readers what their car indicated about them . anyone who drives an\nold car that barely runs\nis a lodge member . more specific examples include stinky peterson ' s trabant , moose thompson ' s gremlin , douglas hendrychuk ' s nash , harold ' s pinto and red ' s possum van .\nalmost famous name : harold tells red that he ' s been asked to be in a magazine ad for dodge . red excitedly agrees when he hears that not only will he be depicted in a hot tub surrounded by bikini - clad girls , but he gets the product for free ! he ' s a bit disappointed when it turns out he ' s just going to get his picture taken in front of a green screen and have it edited in later , but he ' s still excited to get a free dodge truck . at the end of the episode harold clarifies that the company is a swedish company named\ndoj\n. . . that makes adult diapers . . . and there are dozens of crates full of them outside .\namusing injuries : present all over the place , no one is safe from this . adventures with bill turns it up to eleven .\nand knowing is half the battle : parodied in ranger gord ' s educational cartoons , in which a muscular version of gord gives humorously inaccurate advice regarding forest life ( e . g . , that stones are really eggs ) . often , the funny animal representations of red and harold would actually give correct information in response , but since these are gord ' s cartoons , his explanations inevitably turn out to be true anyway .\n1991 , 1993 seasons : a paint - by - numbers of the lodge quickly getting colored in .\n1994 - 1997 seasons : a flythrough of a cityscape , followed by a crash into the\nnew red green show\nlogo and a 180 - degree turn to reveal the lodge .\nanti role model : in more than one\nhandyman corner\n, red suggests one way to get the supplies you need is to steal them .\naren ' t you going to ravish me ? : non - sexual version . when the women of possum lake get together to chat , several lodge members spy on them with a microphone to find out what their wives are saying about them , expecting lots of complaints . they ' re very insulted when none of the women even mention their husbands at all .\nin one episode , red advises teenagers against doing crime , saying ,\njust say no to assault , break - and - enter , arson , murder , theft , drug trafficking , and . . . oh , yeah , real estate sales .\nred : yeah . uh , so i ' m\u0096 i ' m gonna add a special event to it . harold is gonna do a cannonball off the top of rock reef point , singing the national anthem , butt - naked , with his hair on fire . that okay with you , harold ?\nharold : oh , yeah . yeah , yeah , whatever . . . hey , wait a minute , i don ' t know the national anthem !\naside glance : red frequently looks at the camera in\nadventures with bill\n.\nin one episode , red , dalton , and mike hurt themselves . mike goes to a masseuse and feels better , and recommends red and dalton go as well , which they first refuse but change their minds once they find out she ' s attractive . it turns out she ' s a male undercover cop , and red and dalton are disgusted , but mike doesn ' t care and plans to keep going , since he was the only one going there specifically for treatment and not just to get touched by a pretty girl ( although you would think he ' d at least be concerned about the cop part ) .\naudience participation : in later seasons , the studio audience would provide the\nthree little words men find so hard to say\nin\nthe experts\nsketches .\nnew member night\nwould also have volunteers from the studio audience play the prospective new lodge member .\nauthor appeal : steve smith is apparently something of a car buff in real life . throughout the show there are hundreds of shout outs and take thats to various cars ( the chrysler k - car is a favorite target ) and at least half of all the handyman corner projects involved something to do with cars . a lot of gags also involve beer , something that smith even lampshades in his introduction to one of the episodes on the dvd collections .\nbait and switch : the prizes for the possum lodge word game are presented in this manner with whoever is hosting ( usually harold ) exciting the contestant with something that sounds desirable but only to reveal that the prize is ridiculously cheap . . . and occasionally used .\nbonnie kisses harold , hard , in the finale when the two are officially wed . also counts as a crowning moment of funny , since she does it before red can even tell harold ,\nyou may now kiss the bride .\n: possum lodge is full of these , by red ' s own admission . of course , when big eater is the norm , the guy\nred : moose would eat a garden shed if you put enough hot sauce on it .\n: red discovers that ranger gord has some pictures of bigfoot that are actually clear and in focus , proving bigfoot really exists . he excitedly tells gord that the two of them should sell the pictures to a major tv network and get rich . however , gord insists that since he is the professional forest ranger , he should do all the talking to maintain credibility . red promptly gives the pictures back , knowing that nothing could give them\nin one of gord ' s educational cartoons , he lectures on how to protect oneself against a sasquatch . because of its eponymous big feet , gord explains , the sasquatch usually attacks by kickboxing its opponent , so one should keep their arms in front of their face at all times .\nbasically everything that comes out of hap ' s mouth . it ' s not that hap is a bad liar in as much as his stories are so over the top that there ' s no way he could ' ve done all of it .\nsame for doc render in the second season . there ' s speculation from the other members whether or not doc is an actual doctor ; well - deserved speculation given that doc treats a bullet wound with several boxes of band - aids .\nblazing inferno hellfire sauce : red mixes up a batch for a lodge barbecue . it consisted mostly of ketchup and mustard , with some various hot peppers thrown in and some other ingredients , including the\nsecret ingredient\n, which was some blue goop in an unlabelled container ( harold gets it analyzed , it ' s jet fuel ) . to demonstrate how hot it is , dalton tastes a little bit on a toothpick and is clearly in serious pain . then harold tastes a big spoonful .\nblind without em : happens to bill once when he does boxing with harold . red removes bill ' s glasses for him , thinking that one shouldn ' t fight a guy with glasses , and sets them on top of a pail in a corner of the ring . he does not realize that bill does have a vision problem . he squints at the glasses on the pail , thinking it ' s harold and delivers an uppercut to it , only for it to fall down and hit him on the head , knocking him out and leading harold to be the winner by default .\n: harold says red ' s\nkeep your stick on the ice\nspeech in\nthe catfish project\nwhen red is in a traumatized daze .\nharold also says\nkeep your stick on the ice\n( and imitating red ' s gravelly voice in the process ) in the final episode .\nharold : oh , good , okay , yeah . ' cause usually you have a plan and you ' re an idiot , but this time . . .\nharold :\ndear experts , how are you ?\nranger gord : well actually , i ' m a little upset today , because i lost my favorite pair of sunglasses . ( gord is wearing said sunglasses on top of his head ) but y ' know , it ' s not the end of the world . no way . that doesn ' t happen until the year 2015 , in november , on a thursday , and it ' s after lunch . okay ? so you can ' t get too upset when you lose something . the thing is , you have to remember to replace the thing that you lost with something new , and the real tricky part is , you have to remember to replace the same thing with the same thing . in other words , you can ' t replace a pair of sunglasses by buying a waffle iron . okay ? there it is . ( the sunglasses fall over his eyes ) excuse me , i think a fuse blew . ( red pulls his sunglasses off ) oh no , it ' s okay , someone ' s got it . ( after much audience laughter / applause ) harold : . . . our letter continues . . . .\ncanada , eh ? : often played straight , or exaggerated for laughs . expect lots of references to curling and tim hortons .\ncanis latinicus : possum lodge ' s motto is\nquando omni flunkus moritati\n. which means , quite appropriately ( and this being dog - latin , approximately ) ,\nwhen all else fails , play dead .\nrival salamander lodge ( which was created by a disgruntled possum lodge member out of spite and didn ' t even manage to last the whole episode ) adopted the motto\nquando omni flunkus terra retreatum\n(\nwhen all else fails , hide under a rock\n) .\non behalf of myself , and harold , and the whole gang up here at the possum lodge , keep your stick on the ice .\nif the women don ' t find you handsome , they should at least find you handy .\nafter giving advice to fellow middle - aged men :\nremember , i ' m pullin ' for ya . we ' re all in this together .\ninverted when harold presented the north of 40 segment in red ' s place and closed with\nremember , you ' re on your own . don ' t push it .\nthe man ' s prayer :\ni ' m a man . . . but i can change . . . if i have to . . . i guess .\ninverted at the very end of the show , on the very last episode , where the closing was changed to\ni ' m a man . . . but i ' ve changed . . . ' cause i had to . . . oh , well .\nin one episode the lodge had to cater to a group of women , so the man ' s prayer is replaced with the woman ' s prayer :\ni ' m a woman . . . hear me roar . . . i ' m in charge . . . get over it !\nit ' s not smart , or correct , but it ' s one of the things that makes us what we are .\nif at first you don ' t succeed , switch to power tools .\nif it ain ' t broke , you ' re not trying .\nin the intros to the 1996 episodes , red would say ,\nwhat you ' re looking at here are some segments from this particular show , the main message being , ' for gosh sakes , don ' t even think about changing the channel . ' i tell ya something : if you want to make sense of this program , you have to give it your undivided attention .\nin the same episodes , during the bumper leading into the first commercial break , which shows a clip of the show to follow , red says ,\nstay tuned . whatever this is , we ' ve got lots more of it .\nwelcome to harold ' s handicrafts , where crafty hands make handy crafts !\nused by harold to start the\nharold ' s handicrafts\nsegment that featured in several season 5 episodes .\ncelebrity paradox : edgar ( played by graham greene ) mentions that\nthat native actor in dances with wolves was really good , they shoulda given him the oscar .\nover the course of the series , harold generally grew from an awkward , incompetent teenager into a less awkward , successful adult , with even red acknowledging him as a man . lampshaded by red when harold leaves the lodge for a job in the city :\nlooks like harold has finally matured and grown up , but i don ' t see it happening to me anytime soon .\nduring the two seasons when harold was absent , dalton , mike and winston filled in for him , became more rounded characters and turned into regulars .\nthe chew toy : bill from the\nadventures with bill\nsegments . he withstood a level of physical abuse that would put wile e . coyote to shame .\nthe second season of the show introduced a host of new characters , none of whom were ever seen again afterward , save for the odd reference here and there .\na couple characters only appeared in two episodes in the nineties : earl battersby , a local bait shop owner who believed in the paranormal ; and kelly cook ( one of the first female characters on the show ) , a meddling network executive who only appears in two season 10 episodes .\nspecial mention goes to sparky hoover , a radio host / school bus driver who only appeared in\nbig guy little guy\n.\ncloudcuckoolander : to be honest , most of the lodge members could fit into this category , but ranger gord was undeniably the standout example . see loners are freaks below .\nthe comically serious : the audience members who played the prospective new members in the\nnew member night\nsegments always acted this way , and made things even funnier by raising their eyebrows or frowning as the cast member talks about them .\nmike : how do you guys feel about how leading men are presented in today ' s movies ? red : well , i haven ' t seen any of them , but i ' m sure they ' re all crap .\nconvenience store gift shopping : red tried to do this for bernice for christmas , then tried to justify it by saying that the sunoco logo on the free gas station mugs matched their kitchen .\nwhen red replaced the possum van with a new possum van , he then turned the old possum van into an air boat .\ncool clear water : subverted . with all the snowmobiles falling through the ice , run off from the lodge and the marina , the appropriately named mercury creek , and the proximity of\nstinky\npeterson , everyone knows how dirty possum lake is .\nup until the eighth season , harold would start the show by introducing red in some random ( and sometimes true or untrue ) way or another .\nlikewise , at the end of every episode , red would always address his wife through ,\nif my wife is watching , i ' ll be coming straight home . . .\n( from the second season onward , he addresses that he will be home after the lodge meeting ) , and then says some remark based on the events in the episode , before thanking the audience for watching and saying ,\nkeep your stick on the ice .\ncowardly lion : ed frid was afraid of every animal , but he sometimes pulls through just fine .\ncrawl : the subject of one\nhandyman corner\n. red rigged a ruler to cover the crawl so it didn ' t distract his viewing of gilligan ' s island .\n, everyone in town gets dna tested hoping to get a match , and therefore be entitled to the inheritance . shockingly ,\nof the dna tests turn out to be exactly the same . incestuous implications aside , this unfortunately only entitles everyone to a few bucks each since the inheritance has to be split so many ways .\nit turns out that this was because mike stole all the test tubes , so the testers had to use the lids off pickle jars , and simply ended up testing the chemical composition of pickle juice . the reason this matched the old guy ' s dna was because he was always pickled himself .\nnon - word example : starting in season 7 , a once an episode gag during the end credits was harold ( or another character like dalton or mike ) telling the possum lodge members to sit down so the meeting can start . then they immediately say ,\nall rise !\n, the group performs the chant , and sit back down again . what was the point of sitting down the first time again ?\nred green :\nwe ' re out there in our own vehicles , burning gas , got the sunglasses on , looking good . people seeing us going by would have no idea we don ' t know where we are . and we ' re not really excited about sharing that information . a man does not embrace the concept of going up to total strangers and saying , ' you may not know this , but i ' m a moron , ' whereas the woman he ' s with is only too happy to share that information [ ] men aren ' t lost . they ' re just going the long way .\nit also served as the plot for a fourth - season episode when buster hadfield and his wife went on a trip to visit their relatives . unfortunately , since buster hates to stop and ask for directions when he gets lost , he ends up driving all over north america .\nred green : old man sedgewick ' s moved into the lodge , so now he ' s got the bunch of us running around fetching things for him . bran muffins , hot water bottles . . . and of course the latest sports illustrated swimsuit edition .\nold man sedgewick will be playing the field until they plow him under .\ndisco dan : buzz sherwood , who is still a new age retro hippie .\ndoes this make me look fat ? : red talks about the dangers of this question in several episodes .\n: red once mentioned that he used this excuse on a regular basis during his school days .\nred : if my dog ate as much homework as i said he did , he ' d be passing firelogs .\ndouble entendre : red usually slips one into his closing message to bernice . it ' s usually relevant to the plot of the episode in some way and its message is always essentially\nhope you ' re up for some sex tonight .\ndouble meaning : after harold gets a chain letter and passes it on , he gets a $ 100 bill in the mail , causing the whole lodge to go chain - letter - crazy hoping to receive the same good fortune . it ' s not until the end of the episode that harold clarifies that he received a bill for $ 100 .\ndriving test : after an incident involving the possum van and a speed bump , red has his driver ' s license revoked and has to get retested to get it back . when it seems that red is doomed to fail the written portion , he sends harold in his place , who gets into an accident on the driving portion ."]}

turn is one of those . lucia director pawan kumar has taken a very simple , yet socially very important concept , given it a gripping screenplay and directed very beautifully .\nreason : on one side of the screen the phrases on love and life in english with discomforting fonts rarely stops flowing , and at the bottom is the sub - title in english . if that is not enough , the protagonists is half the time busy expressing his philosophy and the other portion is dedicated to the heroine shown with her hair flying , and close up shots of her eye . well , the man who was at least never criticised for selection of actress , has probably failed for the first time . the actress apoorva is not what we all have been seeing in ravichandran ' s film and the other disheartening fact is that the debutant can hardly act .\nperformances in the film are pretty decent , many of them appearing first time on the screen , still they manage to keep the audience engaged without an iota of boredom . the characters are well portrayed but the plot gets diluted when the real face behind the mystery comes into play .\nfilm got negative reviews from critics . renuka vyavahare of the times of india gave the movie 2 out of 5 stars stating that ,\nthe crime drama fails to offer an insight to haseena ' s life\n.

' \u2022 in 2017 , lyca productions announced that rajinikanth will unveil a housing scheme by its charity wing ' gnanam foundation ' for displaced tamils in jaffna , sri lanka . after this announcement , the pro - tamil protested against rajinikanth ' s visit .\nthe trouble with \u2018whodunit\u2019 mysteries is that they build up to a reveal which may not meet viewer expectations . \u2018that\u2019s it ? \u2019 could be our reaction to the alleged twists . the unconvincing and stilted disclosure or answer drastically reduces the possibility of repeat viewings . kannada filmmaker pawan kumar\u2019s second feature film u - turn suffers from a similar problem . he devises a good , puzzling journey , only to flood it with twists that are uninteresting and generic .\nthe film moves at quite a brisk pace in the first half , where the masterful director pavan kumar of lucia fame unravels the plot in an intriguing manner . there are no unwanted scenes or songs , and the screenplay is gripping and taut . shraddha srinath and roger narayan ( remember hola venky ! ) have pulled off marvelous performances and will keep you on the edge of your seats . the wonderful bgm by poornachandra tejasvi complements the narrative exceptionally well .\nvarun dhawan ( born 24 april 1987 ) is an indian actor who appears in hindi films . varun dhawan height is 5 feet 9 inches ( 1 . 73 metres ) . he is the son of film director david dhawan . varun dhawan studied business management from the nottingham trent university after which he worked as an assistant director to karan johar for 2010 released drama movie my name is khan . dhawan made his acting debut with johar\u2019s 2012 romantic comedy student of the year .\nthe first person to discover his inherent flair for acting was k . balachander , an indian director working primarily in the tamil industry . however , balachander wasn\u2019t impressed with rajinikanth\u2019s acting prowess right away . at their first meeting , when rajinikanth auditioned , he delivered some of sivaji ganesan\u2019s dialogues and copied his mannerisms . unfortunately , balachander rejected him and advised him to develop a style of his own and to learn tamil . the next time they met , balachander , convinced of rajinikanth\u2019s acting skills , gave him a small role in his upcoming film .\nback to apoorva , it all starts with the typical one man show , trying to connect with the audience in his own manner . as usual , after yet another innovative show of title cards , a literal never saga of philosophy on love and life starts unfolding . a short and simple love story of a 61 year old man and a 19 year old girl is the crux , to which he knots it with a terrorist angle . however , it is not so simple as it sounds , or even to watch it . it literally requires a brain with high end eyes and a fair bit of english knowledge . his huge fan base , who only knows the language of love and who cannot follow english , are sure for a huge disappointment .\nthough he thought of completing the film early , it took two and half years to finish ! it is a re - recording that consumed most of the time , he points out . similarly , when his friends approved the seventh version of the script , he kept on revising it , before \u201cokaying\u201d the 19th draft . attributing the delay to his intention to draw the audience in to the theatre , he says , \u201ci did not want to repeat the mistake committed during release of ekangi , which was understood by the audience after several shows . \u201d\ncontents [ hide ] 1 cast 2 production 2 . 1 filming 3 soundtrack 3 . 1 track listing 4 references 5 external links cast [ edit ] ajay devgan sayesha saigal erika kaar abigail eames [ 4 ] vir das [ 5 ] girish karnad saurabh shukla [ 6 ] bijou thaangjam [ 7 ] production [ edit ] filming [ edit ] the shooting of the film started in november 2014 , the major part of movie shot in mussoorie , .

wife to the brothers . at times two brawls run parallel , or they spark off each other . even at its most ugly and shrill the film stays so real and believable that what you see on screen feels like your very own family war zone , a bitter - sweet slice of your own life . even as a silent spectator you get planted in the action and become a participant . so at one level there is the sense of indulgence and affection towards the characters who could well have been your own granddad , father , mother , uncle or brother , at another it is also a curiously therapeutic experience where you step out of the theatre having come to terms with at least a few of your own demons , if not entirely exorcised all the ghosts .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 / / en\nurltoken\nwe have sent you a verification email . to verify , just follow the link in the message\nwhen it comes to love , there are no questions or reasons . that is the rule of love .\netimes is an entertainment , tv & lifestyle industry ' s promotional website and carries advertorials and native advertising .\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 bennett , coleman & co . ltd . all rights reserved .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nthe\nmost anticipated indian movies and shows\nwidget tracks the real -

of - its - kind initiative , i agreed . the journey of bringing dhruva to life in hindi has been as exciting and exhilarating as portraying any of my characters on the big screen .\nin a candid interview to mirror last week , ace tamil film - maker gautham menon said his ambitious flick dhruva natchathiram starring suriya might not happen at all . looks like the director , who is not on talking terms with the actor , has moved on and has offered the flick now to vikram , who has bounced back with shankar ' s blockbuster i .\nyes , it is true that gautham is in discussion with vikram to revive dhruva natchathiram . the director has already narrated the script to vikram and he has liked it . it may need a bit of fine - tuning though . if everything works out well , the movie may go on floors later this year ,\na highly placed source privy to the development told mirror .\ngautham ' s yennai arindhaal has raked in good collections and is on its way to become a blockbuster . similarly , vikram\u2019s i too made good collections at the box office . if dhruva natchathiram materialises , it will be a big -

minute 38 - second clip follows the story of john played by vikram , an undercover agent based in new york . he and his team are involved in a secret operation that is headed by a man named mr k . john and his team spring into action when the bad guys catch hold of mr k , leaving them in the dark .\ndhruva was born a son of the king utt\u0101nap\u0101da ( the son of svayambhuva manu ) and his wife suniti ( or sunrita , the daughter of dharma ) . the king also had another son uttama , born to his second queen suruchi , who was the preferred object of his affection . once , when dhruva was a child of five years of age , he was sitting on his father ' s lap at the king ' s throne . suruchi , who was jealous of the older son from the first wife ( since he - dhruv - would be heir to throne , and not suruchi ' s son ) , forcefully removed dhruv from his father ' s lap . when dhruv protested and asked if he could not be allowed to sit on his father ' s lap , suruchi berated him saying , ' only god can allow you that privilege . go ask him . '\ndhruva is an upcoming action thriller film directed by surender reddy and produced by allu aravind under his banner geetha arts . it features ram charan , rakul preet singh and aravind swamy . it is an official remake of the tamil film thani oruvan ( 2015 ) . the film will feature music by hiphop tamizha , who composed for the tamil original . and cinematography is handled by p . s . vinod . the film was launched on 18 february 2016 and principal photography commenced on 22 february 2016 . the film , initially set for release on 7 october , is scheduled for a worldwide release on 2 december 2016 .\nthe shelving of dhruva natchathiram resulted in an ugly spat between suriya and gautham with the former accusing the latter of delaying the film . apparently , suriya asked for a few changes in the script - - which gautham was not keen to make - - and the delay on part of the director prompted him to walk out of the project . the two , who together have delivered some of the finest films ( like kakkaa kakka and varanam aayiram ) , are unlikely to work together in any project as confided by gautham in his interview to mirror on february 18 . vikram and gautham are raring to go with both of them tasting success with their independent previous ventures .\ni did not watch thani oruvan before dhruva . so mine is an open review ! i give my review only to movies i really loved watching . i don ' t want to waste time to show hatred . talking about dhruva , this movie had impressed me so much that nothing comes close to this in 2016 . the script was excellent and far better than any routine stupid drama movies we see these days . technical brilliance must be appreciated . even though its a remake , the director and actors took it as a challenge and made it a visual feast to the audience . if you didn ' t know the script before - hand , then the tension that was carried out will make you enjoy the thrill you face . so i recommend the people who have not seen tamil version to go to this movie and you will experience great joy . even if you have seen tamil version , this movie is so good to watch & shows its technical superiority . what ' s for the cine goers ( physical & technical aspects ) : ram charan - excellent physique ( he really worked out ) , great acting ( better than his previous films ) , looked extremely stylish rakul preet - ravishing body ( exclusively hot in songs ) & good acting ( the mirror scene - audience really enjoyed the love expression ) director surrender reddy - improved his directional style . i liked racegurram but this one was even better in terms of screenplay & cinematography . aravind swamy - incredible and he looked scary with decent looks . great acting as well . others - navdeep did a great job and other artists did very well in their roles . what not to expect : not a lot of comedy but there are few jokes and the thrill you face makes you forget about the comedy . so don ' t worry about it . overall : the best movie of this year in telugu ! go for it . demonetization had shown some its effect on the collection otherwise it would have already broken many records considering the strength that the movie has !\ntaking a bit of a ( forced ) break from movie watching right now ! will get back to regularly scheduled programming in a couple of months . the last ones i saw both sucked ( amazing spiderman and baby driver ) . fidaa was overrated af ( ass - fuq ? ) , wasn ' t up to godavari levels . spyder and paisa vasool ( obligatory\njai balayya\n! ! ! ) look like duds from the teasers . all hopes on vip 2 ( i ' ve said this a hundred times already , raghuvaran btech . deserved 10 / 10 ) and dhruva nachatiram . don ' t know why , but jaya janaki nayaka looks great ( loved alludu seenu ! ) . however , given that it ' s coming from the guy who made sarrainodu , this could be the worst movie of all time . did anybody watch the making video for jaya janaki nayaka ? like satyam rajesh says in baadshah ,\ncinema making kanna mee making ekkuva ayyindi .\nwhich makes me wonder if kona venkat is some sort of prophet . the same movie has kajal agarwal explaining the plot of sreemanthudu before it was even made . i know none of the above are interconnected , but i wanted to put it all out there .\nthe movie story deals with aarusaamy a deputy commissioner of police of tirunelveli who efficiently brings the city under control . aarusaamy arrives at tirunelveli after being in exile for some years after being wrongly accused of bribery by corrupt politicians . in an early scene in the film , he eats idli with beer and performs some drunken antics , which had a negative impact on the viewing public . at the outset , he pretends to be a corrupt cop by accepting bribes from the very influential annachi . later saamy starts to rebel against him and the rest is about how he succeeds in overcoming the corrupt politicians . aarusaamy ' s father who wanted to become a cop was unable to become due to corruption and takes care of agriculture for his living . but he wanted to make his son a cop . vikram too passes the ips examinations in merit , but was asked for bribe . his father mortgages his properties and makes him get the desired job . being an honest cop , aarusaamy is honoured with transfers all over tamil nadu due to political pressure . finally , in trichy , he is accused of bribery by a politician and he gets suspended . it takes him six months to prove himself and he is posted in tirunelveli now . in tirunelveli , he adapts a new policy of adjusting with the local goons so that he can serve the people in an effective way . perumal pichai , is an underworld don who has the total control of southern tamil nadu , both in politics as well as rowdyism but he is less known in the media . he bribes aarusaamy so that he will not disturb his business because both perumal pichai and aarusaamy belongs to his caste . saamy also accepts it but requests him to make some changes which he in turn accepts . as a result , the city is under the control of law and order . he is always accompanied by\npunctuality\nparamasivam , who is an inspector . saamy falls in love with a college - going brahmin girl , bhuvana and they get engaged . bhuvana ' s father , is a straightforward government officer who never got bribe and leads a noble life . saamy and bhuvana meet each other when saamy goes in search of a home for rent to bhuvana ' s home . bhuvana misinterprets saamy and paramasivam as thieves and locks them in a room .\nif u like pls subscribe gautham vasudev menon ( born 25 february 1973 ) , more commonly known as gautham menon , is an indian film director and producer , who predominantly works in tamil cinema . many of his films have been critically acclaimed , most notably his semi -

( and how - this was filmed in calgary . )\nthree aliens from the planet taros land on earth and are befriended by a wyoming rancher ' s son .\nrobin and tavvy are two children from a humanoid alien people who have established a base on the moon . they decide that they don\u0092t like merely watching earth at a distance and maintaining the cultural quarantine that their people insist on . and so they run away to earth with their three - limbed pet . landing in rural wyoming , they are befriended by a teenage cowboy robert \u0091dirt\u0092 mcalphen and his grandfather .\nthree aliens from the planet taros land on earth and are befriended by a wyoming rancher & apos ; s son .\nback in space , the hyper sapiens decide that the girls need to be brought back to the mother ship since they refuse to return on their own . . . the primped out leader gets big and lectures the earth .\nrosie marcel , the only british actor in the film , would later go on to star as one of tv ' s most disliked characters , jac naylor , in holby city ( 1999 ) .\ntrippy indie madeline ' s madeline is the movie that lakeith stanfield and boots riley from sorry to bother you want to see the most .\na farmboy tries to help two cute little aliens who are running away from home . much less cute big aliens chase them all over wyoming .\nis for parents wishing to park their children for an afternoon . it is so lacking in any distinguishing or standout qualities it can safely be forgotten the moment people have reached the parking lot on the way home .\ndirt has to go out and find the girls some undies , so , he steals some from his female neighbor . needless to say , one of my favorite parts !\ndirectors of james bond movies rarely have prolific or memorable careers outside of the franchise ; peter hunt ( of on her majesty ' s secret service ) is no exception . with hyper sapien , he has made a competent film whose only ambition is to be gentle and sweet with little in the way of plot or ideas to get in the way of those goals . i\u2019m not sure if small children would be bored by it , but i definitely was . the most memorable aspect of the movie is the bittersweet fact that it contains keenan wynn\u2019s final performance , which isn\u2019t nearly enough to make this slog worthwhile .\nimpossible - to - dislike e . t . / starman hybrid set in pastoral wyoming , directed by a bond guy & bankrolled by jason schwartzmann ' s parents . charming kid actors , great turn from keenan wynn as\ngrandpa\n. . . its refreshing to watch a film about fundamentally nice people . good saturday afternoon movie . make sure 2 check 4 the unreal alien dog puppet who spins like sonic the hedgehog and has a triad of buttholes for a face .\ncorny family movie about two big - haired alien girls who come down to earth to check things out . sydney penny is ok as the older , teen alien but ricky paull goldin is a typical vacuous 80 ' s pretty - boy with over - styled hair . the creature sidekick is almost as annoying as jar - jar and keenan wynn plays yet another daffy old guy character . overall , it ' s a technically decent production without much imagination .\ndidn ' t see it then though , likely because the video movie guide probably gave it a turkey . i might sometimes look back on that annual tome as being simplistic and quaint in our spoiled internet age , but it did mark a big shift in the way i anticipated movies , from childlike , uncritical\u2026\nthis wasn\u2019t that bad of a movie but it could have been better . the acting was pretty decent . i really liked keenan wynn ( grandpa ) and his interaction with kirbi . the plot was somewhat basic but i thought the underlying theme about the young leading people into the future was pretty well written . i also thought the overzealous cop thinking the aliens were assassins after the senator was really funny . kirbi was definitely one of the more interesting aliens to show up , being a three eyed , three legged creature that runs by cartwheeling really fast , eats coal and drinks gasoline , and can shoot lasers from his eyes . the chase scene with kirbi shooting at the cops was pretty funny . nothing really groundbreaking but worth a watch if nothing else is on .\nif it ever came to interacting with aliens on my part , i would wait for them to contact me instead of being the one to initiate contact - i learned from sources such as the war of the worlds that even a peaceful gesture such as a white flag could be misinterpreted , or the aliens may just be mean bastards at heart . you may now be asking that if aliens did make the first gesture - and it appeared to be a peaceful one - what would i do if i was the one that they made the gesture towards ? well , i admit that since i am a very curious person , i would be very interested in the idea of direct contact with the inhabitants of another world . but even then , would a human be able to relate to an alien ? for that matter , would an alien be able to relate to a human ? just think about it for a minute . for one thing , evolution on their planet would almost certainly mean that the aliens would not look like human beings . well , it could be argued that there are plenty of human beings that have been able to relate to their pets despite looking very different . and the aliens , since they have the technology to travel to other planets , would have the extra advantage of being intelligent - making it a lot easier to communicate with . let ' s say that human beings and aliens would be able to relate to each other on a fairly easy level . could this eventually lead to something more ? i ' m talking about two different species falling in love with each other . hollywood has tackled this topic several times , but when you look at this topic in stuff like star trek , you will see that the humans and aliens look pretty similar . it ' s not that far removed from interracial dating .\nthe film movie had it ' s moments of being okay ( from adult perspective ) and i ' m sure if i watched this one as a kid i would have liked it . actually i ' m surprised i ' ve never seen this one before but then again i was 14 in 1986 and this film is geared for a younger than 10 years old audience i believe .\nhoping to find evidence that earthlings aren\u2019t as bad as the rest of the solar system believes , extra -

culture humour , as is the case with many other films of this ilk . all of the kids play competently , with neither an overkill of saccharine or knowing cynicism . however , the treatment remains strictly middle of the road and eminently forgettable . under a more lively director , the basic premise could have amounted to something \u0096 imagine how much fun the idea could have been in the hands of a director like robert rodriguez or joe dante . alas , handled by john schultz , it amounts to no more than a school holiday season junk food snack .\nas a talia shire fan , i was disappointed to note she only had a cameo in this production . however , she has executive -

they would be too slow in their shuffling to catch up with me . if it were a vampire , i would make a cross with my index fingers and shove it in the vampire ' s face . but what about aliens ? what would i do , for example , if i were to get up one morning , open the curtain , and see that a flying saucer had landed next to my building ? well , i would wonder how such a large craft would be able to land smoothly in my densely - packed neighborhood . seriously though , i am pretty sure i would be seriously freaked out . i would probably immediately drag out a suitcase , quickly pack it , and get out of the area right away . while it ' s true that at that point there would be nothing indicating that the occupants inside the craft had done anything bad , there would also be no indication that they would be good in nature as well . better safe than sorry .\nthe screenplay does later try to explain their motivations for running away to earth , but the explanations will likely sound hollow to even the smallest viewers . would children believe that a couple of minors would\nin order to enjoy stuff they have observed on earth radio and television signals , with what they ' ve seen being stuff like mtv and ronald mcdonald ? i didn ' t buy it . also , i did not buy the fact that once they are on earth and start traveling through the wilderness , it is revealed they ran away with no definite plans as to how they would eat , find shelter , and make a living . and while these sisters are two characters , the screenplay only seems to have material for the older robyn character and doesn ' t seem to know what to do with the younger tavy character ; in fact , the screenplay seems to realize this towards the end , writing out tavy completely and not having her participate in the climatic action . by the way , it ' s a wonder when the action does start to come , because after the beginning when the two sisters land on earth , practically\nhappens for the next hour . not just practically nothing that advances the story , but practically nothing that is exciting , intriguing , or full of wonder or awe . the movie has a premise , but doesn ' t have any idea as to what to do with it except for throwing in a police chase near the end , and that ' s resolved with a feeble\ngesture . it should probably come as no surprise then , that the movie ' s three credited screenwriters not only had no previous screenwriting credits , but they never had any other credits as of this date . i wonder how they managed to sell this asinine script . if you ' ve been as unfortunate to have seen\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nyour social account may not have provided your email to us . please confirm or enter it below to complete your profile .\nwe found your email in our system . please provide your site password to link to your existing account .\nforgot your password ? enter your email address and we ' ll send you instructions on how to access your account .\nwe have not verified that the email belongs to you . please check your inbox for the verification email .\nto resend the verification email , please enter your email address and click submit .\n. . . . . production company , angels the costumiers . . . . . production company , optical film effects . . . . . production company , . . . . . production company , tristar pictures . . . . . domestic theatrical distributor , . . . . . foreign distribution sales , vestron video . . . . . domestic video distributor , . . . . . public relations\nleonard maltin classic movie guide , copyright 2005 , 2010 . used by arrangement with penguin group ( usa ) inc .\ntm & \u00a9 2018 turner classic movies , inc . a time warner company . all rights reserved . code of conduct for this site | press room | privacy policy | | terms of use\nget ready for prime day with the amazon app . no purchase necessary . learn more\nmaybe not the greatis story line ever , but i ' ve many times and i ' m sure i will many more times .\ni thought it was a great movie and i really liked kirbi with three eyes . . .\ni got this as part of a sci fi mega pack . the story didn ' t have a whole lot of twists and was quite et like . the tri -

reaching conspiracy that allows h0eg to do much more than simply spin out a thrilling detective tale . smilla\u2019s mixed heritage provides h0eg with the opportunity to comment critically on the historical maltreatment of the inuit natives of greenland by the danes . furthermore , the novel contains a subplot about a wondrous meteorite that may be alive , through which h0eg engages in an examination of the ethics of contemporary science and scientists .\nmr . august , the director whose films include ' ' the best intentions ' ' and ' ' pelle the conqueror , ' ' does a fine job of conveying such details in quick , economic fashion . but with a plot that grows increasingly far - fetched , his ' ' smilla ' s sense of snow ' ' has as much to do with glossy good looks as with real information . the film ' s smilla changes costumes with a frequency that rivals evita ' s , and she suggests a stevedore envisioned by helmut newton by the time she stows away on a boat . the film ' s final confrontation is remarkable not only for spectacular glimpses of greenland ' s lonely white scenery and for an actor gutsy enough to play a scene in freezing water but also for conspicuous product plugs on the characters ' parkas .\noh my , this book is bad . the premise is an interesting enough hook -

brainer hollywood action film than in what purports to be an intelligent adult thriller .\nthe smilla mega movie page provides evidence of the mechanic\u2019s power with an array of videos , including the trailer and fan vids , dialogue and quotes from the film , promotional images , an interview , reviews , additional resources , a drink recipe ( a good alternative to that hot chocolate ! ) , posters , and a stunning set of screencaps .\nperhaps the most profoundly felt theme running through smilla ' s sense of snow is that of alienation . when a people , or a person , lose ( s ) a sense of meaning in life or a separation from that which has formerly nurtured them , the result is both a cultural and personal sense of alienation . in many ways , smilla exemplifies both . clearly , smilla is alienated both from her father and danish society . she often pulls her telephone from its jack and disconnects her doorbell so that she does not have to interact with others in copenhagen . the root of this alienation is in her forcible transfer from greenland to copenhagen after the death of her mother . that she runs away more times than she can remember between the ages of seven and twelve speaks to this deeply felt sense of cultural isolation . by the time she is an adult , smilla has resigned herself to living at least partially within danish culture :\ni no longer make an effort to keep europe or denmark at a distance . neither do i plead with them to stay . in some way they are part of my destiny . they come and go in my life . i have given up doing anything about it .\nhowever , this is the voice of resignation , not integration ; even as an adult , smilla remains alienated from and unable to find meaning in denmark or europe .\nthe best movie i have seen for the month of march , ranks as an all time high . smilla is a star . the suspense will keep you on the edge of your chair . i can ' t believe that this film didn ' t get more awards , its a sleeper . other then the berlin international film festival i don ' t think it showed up anywhere else . the young boy played a good part . a must see must add to any collection , starts in greenland then to denmark , my type of film , one that shows anything but america . 5 stars . thank you .\nin a segment almost too cool for human ears , we glide from sweet smell of success to elevator to the gallows to anatomy of a murder to breathless in this salute to jazz film scoring par excellence .\nthe notion of\ncolonialism ,\nhowever , is tied up with much more than the history of one nation claiming another as a colony . rather , it is an exploration of the effects of this relationship on both the colonizer and the colonized . in smilla ' s sense of snow , the days of greenland as a colony have passed ; at the time of the writing of the novel , greenland was under home rule . however , two centuries of colonial exploitation , as well as the two decades of\nmodernization\nthat occurred in the 1950s and 1960s , have changed the way that both greenlanders and danes think and live .\nthe trailer for this was on a vhs copy of one of my favourite films back in the late 90s . couldn ' t tell you what the film was , i just know that the trailer for smilla is one of the trailer ' s i ' ve seen the most times in my life because of it . at no point during or after seeing that trailer was i remotely fussed about watching the film . my memory says it looked like the kind of film\nold women\nmight like . of course i was about 15 so who the hell knows what i thought\nold\nwas . anyway , i ' ve since sold the book in my retail career many times and even the book jacket looked a bit book club / white\u2026\npeter h\u00f8eg was born in copenhagen , denmark . before becoming a writer , he worked variously as a sailor , ballet dancer , and actor . he published his first novel , a history of danish dreams ( 1988 ) , to positive reviews . however , it was smilla\u2019s sense of snow ( 1992 ) , a million - copy best seller , that earned h\u00f8eg immediate and international literary celebrity . his books have been published in more than th\nh0eg\u2019s seeming inability to please his most outspoken critics seems to stem from his unwillingness to accommodate the expectations of those who want him to write either conventional genre fictions or highbrow philosophical novels . h0eg is equally comfortable ( and interested in ) writing about the complexities of theories concerning the nature of time\u2014a subject that shows up in most of his books\u2014as he is making allusions to popular culture , from thrillers in the vein of john lecarre to b - movie science fiction like king kong . although this combination won him millions of readers in smilla\u2019s sense of snow , it has not resulted in similarly broad acclaim for his subsequent efforts .\nbut the most seductive\nsign\nof all for smilla is her beloved snow . smilla authoritatively announces early on ,\njeg synes bedre om sne og is end om kaerligheden\n(\ni think more highly of snow and ice than love\n) . equally authoritatively h\u00f8eg cautioned readers not to trust her .\nshe should not be relied on , because she ' s hidding her sensitivity and feelings under a rough surface\n( lyall ) . both statements are misleading , for it is not so much a matter of snow versus love , but of snow as smilla ' s disguised obsession with the loss of love . smilla herself makes the connection , if she disguises the nature of the loss , when , at the end of her reminiscence about her mother ' s intimate embrace , she muses ,\nm\u00e5ske er jeg allerede d\u00e9r begyndt at \u00f8nske at forst\u00e5 isen . at ville forst\u00e5 er at pr\u00f8ve at generobre noget vi har mistet\n(\nperhaps i had even then begun to want to understand the ice . to want to understand is an attempt to recapture something we have lost\n) .\nzeal is a virtue when it is put into practice as service of others . the clever , cerebral , and reclusive heroine of smilla ' s sense of snow is a copenhagen scientist who cherishes her independence and privacy . the one exception to her preference to stay way from people is isaiah , a young eskimo neighbor , who wins his way into her heart . when he mysteriously falls to his death from their building ' s rooftop , smilla is convinced that he as murdered . using the same reserves of courage and tenacity that fueled her mother ' s career as an inuit hunter , she comes up against the unusual activities of a mining corporation headed by a nefarious man called tork ( richard harris ) .\npeter h\u00f8eg was born in copenhagen , denmark . before becoming a writer , he worked variously as a sailor , ballet dancer , and actor . he published his first novel , a history of danish dreams ( 1988 ) , to positive reviews . however , it was smilla\u2019s sense of snow ( 1992 ) , a million - copy best seller , that earned h\u00f8eg immediate and international literary celebrity . his books have been published in more than thirty countries .\nit\u2019s surprising to see a lot of people\u2019s living spaces of a certain age \u2013 what they surround themselves with and how they decorate their houses . they\u2019re like living museums . it\u2019s often an incredible level of chaos and madness that they live amongst\nfor smilla snow is the substance that preserves form , like isaiah ' s tracks . it is the substance of connection , associated in her mind with winter , her mother ' s favorite season , and the visiting of others .\nvinteren var en tid til samvaer , ikke til jordens undergang\n(\nwinter was a time for community , not for the end of the world\n) . snow is the substance of certainty . it is the substance of perfection . like all who mourn , smilla longs for something that can contain the essence of what is lost , keats ' s grecian urn , dinesen ' s blue vase . smilla has found it in her ability to imagine snow .\ni den ydre verden vil der aldrig eksistere en fuldendt dannet snekrystal . men i vores bevidsthed ligger den glitrende og lydefri viden om den perfekte is\n(\nin the external world a perfectly formed snow crystal would never exist . but in our consciousness lies the glittering and flawless knowledge of perfect ice\n) . smilla seems to find in the ice all that she longs for , life , wildness , beauty , change , and eternal permanence . nearing greenland , she describes in the most sensuous terms the creation of the ice cover :\nbut , of course , snow is as impermanent as life , the quintessence of impermanence . touched by the human hand it disappears , as suddenly and completely as smilla ' s mother . only in smilla ' s mind is it a constant . even in its physical construction it is made up of wholes and holes , as illusive a substance as smilla could have found for her passion , and thus , in essence , the perfect\nsign\nfor her mother , both in her presence and her absence . it is the substance in which she is both to be lost and to be found . yet , as long as smilla continues to romanticize snow , she can avoid facing the loss that it hides . she need never lose again .\nfirst , there is a lot of snow . a great deal of snow . snow on the ground . in the air . everywhere . and there is ice . and cold water . and icebergs . and even full - blown , life - sized glaciers . if the weather is warm where you are at the moment , it will feel much , much colder once the opening scene rolls by , so grab a blanket and some hot chocolate .\nthe term\ngenre\nrefers to the category of a given literary work in either form or content . in terms of content , certain genres carry with them certain conventions . for example , detective fiction requires both a crime and someone trying to solve the crime . thus , while a book such as smilla ' s sense of snow is clearly generically a novel , it does not easily fall into any one generic category in terms of content and convention . indeed , it is almost as if h\u00f8eg is playing with the notion of genre itself in his creation of this novel .\nthe last section of the novel takes place on the ice of greenland . again , h\u00f8eg evokes the bitter cold and the alien strangeness of the frozen land . smilla , however , finds herself on surer footing here . not only does she have the scientific knowledge of snow and ice that she has learned in europe , she has the intuitive knowledge of her upbringing . in the final desperate scene , it is smilla ' s familiarity with the setting that promises her survival :\nshe thinks more highly of snow and ice than she does of love . she lives in a world of numbers , science and memories - - a dark , exotic stranger in a strange land . and now smilla jaspersen is convinced she has uncovered a shattering crime . . . it happened in the copenhagen snow . a six - year - old boy , a greenlander like smilla , fell to his death from the top of his apartment building . while the boy ' s body is still warm , the police pronounce his death an accident . but smilla knows her young neighbor didn ' t fall from the roof on his own . soon she is following a path of clues as clear to her as footsteps in the snow . for her dead neighbor , and for herself , she must embark on a harrowing journey of lies , revelation and violence that will take her back to the world of ice and snow from which she comes , where an explosive secret waits beneath the ice . . . .\nkenneth lonergan wrote and directed the film\nyou can count on me ,\nfor which he won the waldo salt screenwriting award , the sundance film festival ' s top award for best screenwriting , and the new york film critics ' circle , l . a . film critics ' circle , writers guild of america , and national board of review awards for best screenplay . he was also nominated for an academy award for best original screenplay . lonergan ' s plays include\nlobby hero ,\nthe waverly gallery\nand\nthis is our youth .\nhis theater work has been performed in new york at naked angels , second stage , the atlantic theater company , and h . b . playwrights foundation . in los angeles his work has been staged at the coast theatre , and in london at the royal court theater and at the battersea playhouse .\nmy hunch , moonshadow , is that you likely have little or no experience of snow and ice . if you had , you might relate better to this book , and enjoy the near mystical sense that smilla has of it . but do try to soldier on , as this is an exceptionally good story . and no , it would not be fair to give away the ending to you . sorry . margaret ( less )\nlagermann is a forensic medicine expert who first examines isaiah ' s body . he reveals to smilla that a muscle biopsy has been removed from the body sometime after the child ' s death .\nwas given an indifferent critical reception when it came out , much of which seemed based on the story\u0092s taking a turn into science - fiction at the ending ( an aspect that comes direct from the book ) , but it is a strong and underrated film that is worthy of reconsideration .\nthis cult classic has a lot of things going for it . miss smilla is a stylish , engaging heroine with terrific dress sense , dark wit , courage under fire and fluency in greenlandic . ( i believe it ' s west greenlandic if you care about that kind of thing ) . at one point , she performs an imaginative sex act that i ' ve never seen described in any other place . there ' s a brooding sense of menace and a weird conspiracy that gradually comes together . . . i don ' t know why i ' m so bothered by the fact that the stor\nbrendan gleeson most recently co - starred in steven spielberg ' s\nai : artificial intelligence\nand is currently shooting anthony mingella ' s ' cold mountain .

( his initial assignment , in kingman , ariz . , involved maintenance and operations of the base messes . ) he was a member of the 760th flexible gunnery training squadron , not the 760th mess squadron . in 1945 mr . bronson was attached to a b - 29 squadron of the 39th bombardment group , based in guam , which conducted combat missions against the japanese home islands .\nwhen bronson was playing the claustrophobic\ntunnel king\n\u009d danny in the great escape , he got to work with the scottish actor david mccallum . after meeting mccallum ' s wife , actress jill ireland , bronson flatly told his coworker ,\ni ' m going to marry your wife .\n\u009d from anyone else , that would sound like an idle boast , but not from bronson . mccallum and ireland soon divorced . bronson and ireland married in 1968 and remained hitched until her death in 1990 .\narmed with his favourite milkshakes and a selection of confectionery , i was led though the 17 steel doors and metal detectors that lie between the outside world and the man dubbed britain ' s most dangerous inmate . in the time it takes to reach the specially designed maximum security unit housing prisoner bt1314 , there is ample time to reflect that charles bronson has done much to earn his reputation .\ningmar bergman wanted to make a film with bronson but the actor turned him down .\neverything is weakness and sickness with bergman ,\nhe said . the man : charles bronson : an enduring belief in the american supehero by joel kotkin the washington post 3 june 1977 : b1 . he was considered for the role of snake plissken in escape from new york ( 1981 ) , but director john carpenter thought he was too tough looking and too old for the part , and decided to cast kurt russell instead .\nalain delon , like many french , had admired machine gun kelly , and he invited bronson to co - star with him in a british - french film , adieu , l ' ami ( farewell , friend ) . it made bronson a european favorite .\nbronson also appeared in more than a dozen films with his second wife , jill ireland , who died of cancer in 1990 .\ninterviewing williamson on good morning britain , madeley had incorrectly claimed that bronson attacked a prison governor in 2016 , a date that williamson had disputed . bronson had in fact attacked a police governor in february 2014 , for which he received a two year sentence .\nindeed , audiences around the country often applauded and cheered whenever bronson let one of the film ' s menacing thugs have it .\nbronson , whose first marriage to harriet tendler ended in divorce , married his third wife , actress kim weeks , in 1998 .\nbronson ' s last starring role in a theatrically released film was 1994 ' s death wish v : the face of death .\nbronson was still making american movies in the interim , including 1972 ' s the mechanic , a film i highly recommend as possibly the most bizarre american action movie ever made . ( to boil it down : charles bronson is an existentialist mob hitman . yes , really . ) he didn ' t become a huge star in the u . s . until well after his 50th birthday , when he headlined 1974 ' s death wish in what would become his trademark role , the architect - turned - vigilante paul kersey .\nin 1954 , during the house un - american activities committee ( huac ) proceedings , he changed his surname from buchinsky to bronson at the suggestion of his agent , who feared that an eastern european surname might damage his career . [ 19 ] he reportedly took his inspiration from the bronson gate at the studios of paramount pictures , situated on the corner of melrose avenue and bronson street .\nborn charles buchinsky , november 3 , 1921 , in ehrenfeld , pa ; died from pneumonia , august 30 , 2003 , in los angeles , ca . actor . charles bronson gained superstar status in the united states in 1974 with the release of the film death wish . his role as the liberal\u2013minded architect who becomes a vigilante was reprised in four sequels and brought him stardom but also criticism for the violence portrayed in the films . his was a career spent playing rough and tough gunslingers and outlaws while his private life was spent raising children and painting . he never quite broke out of the tough\u2013guy mold although he was often praised in roles that showed more depth and subtlety .\nbronson changed his surname to salvador in 2013 in a bid to reinvent himself as an artist and put his violent past behind him .\nbronson has become a keen artist behind bars and has seen some of his work go under auction to help vulnerable people in need .\nbronson wasn ' t through turning leone , down , though . leone allegedly offered bronson the role of the sadistic mercenary angel eyes in the good , the bad , and the ugly , but bronson had to back out due to his commitment to the dirty dozen . ( instead , lee van cleef unforgettably played the role . ) eventually , though , the two men worked together when bronson turned in one of his best performances as a haunted harmonica - playing gunfighter in leone ' s epic once upon a time in the west ."]}

read mutant x . havoc has been one of my favourite characters since i started reading comics with peter david\u2019s x - factor run , and i was really excited that he was basically going to get his own corner of the multiverse as his private playground .\ni remember the first 12 issue arc being not terrible and having some interesting concepts \u2014 i also really liked that the universe where havoc was one of the premiere heroes was a lot more peaceful and had less mutant prejudice \u2014 but it quickly went off the rails following that story\u2019s conclusion . perhaps not coincidentally , the book had originally only been pitched as a 12 issue mini - series , and it\u2019s initial sales were good enough for the editors to push howard mackie to expand it into an on - going .\nalso , the juggernaut may be a jerk , but he\u2019s great at being a jerk . has there been a cold open i\u2019m forgetting explaining his powers ?\nbased on a couple cameo appearences ( ie rick redfern and joanie caucus in days of future past , as well as a lot of other drop ins ) the doonsbury characters exist in the marvel universe . so how many are actually mutants themselves ? i seem to recall mike doonsbury making one of his summer daydreams come true\u2026which sounds a lot like franklin richards level reality warping to me .\nso i\u2019m curious about the view of gender identity in the dazzler / juggernaut situation . i think you\u2019re right 90 % of the time on this . but i read this juggernaut thing really differently .\ni saw it as juggernaut saying , the next person you randomly attack for no reason might kill you , especially if you insist on picking fights way outside your weight class . condescending ? totally . paternalistic ? definitely . but he\u2019s also not wrong . had she done that with sabertooth , the beyonder , or any one of a dozen other hardcore villains , she\u2019d be a corpse . especially if he\u2019s a fan of the music , i can totally see him saying that .\ni\u2019m all for no - limits feminism , and there\u2019s a lot that really troubles me about some of the sexist coding in comics . but this struck me as a small dog picking a fight with a big dog , and the big one telling him to knock it off . rather than a \u201cwomens should know their place\u201d thing .\nactually , i shouldn\u2019t have said no reason . as you\u2019re correct nearly taking people out with cars is horrible , still . the rest stands .\nthe whole thing would read as less condescending and sexist if he wasn\u2019t calling her things like \u201cdoll\u201d and \u201cfrail\u201d the whole time . incidentally , was there a time in human history when people actually referred to women as \u201cfrail\u201d ? i\u2019ve literally never heard that time used outside of a claremont comic .\nthat last sentence should read \u201cthat term , \u201d not \u201cthat time . \u201d word press really needs an edit button .\ntouche\u2019 sam . \u201cfrail\u201d is pretty bad . but i think condescending is definitely supposed to be the point here . while i don\u2019t think sexism is appropriate , from a villain like juggernaut it\u2019s at least not a surprise . nor portrayed as something to be emulated .\nyeah , this moment gave me pause too . i mean , we\u2019re talking about what claremont intended juggernaut to express . i think he was trying to show juggernaut as a ) confused that dazzler , who is a pop singer as far as he knows , is trying to fight him \u2013 and b ) conflicted because this is someone who he really likes and has positive feelings for and she\u2019s fighting him . he doesn\u2019t want to hurt her .\njuggernaut just wants her to stop , and to not be involved in this world . reading sexism out of it needs us to assume that claremont intended this scene to show juggernaut as a sexist . why would he suddenly do that ? he certainly hasn\u2019t been portrayed that way up till now . or we have to assume that claremont himself is being sexist by writing \u201cnormal\u201d dialogue which reflects his internalized misogyny . the gender politics of the x - men up to this point don\u2019t give me much confidence in this theory .\ni can easily imagine juggernaut behaving roughly the same way if he had come up against a male celebrity mutant part time superhero of whom he was a big fan .\nyeah , i agree with this sentiment . i can picture him saying the same thing after beating the shit out of josh guthrie .\nso you guys are getting pretty close to fall of the mutants , eh ? you\u2019ve covered up to uncanny x - men 219 ( fall of the mutants omnibus starts at 220 ) , new mutants up to 54 ( fall starts at 55 ) , and x - factor up to 15 ( fall starts at 18 ) . obviously this event is huge , so i\u2019m curious as to how you plan to cover it . thanks !\nespecially as it\u2019s less \u201cone big story\u201d and more \u201cthree stories united thematically . \u201d\n. . . i also want them to cover the daredevil issues somewhere in there , because the notion that daredevil of all books , had crossovers for this and inferno is just . . . awesome .\nthe fact that daredevil had crossovers is pretty self - explanatory \u2013 ann nocenti was writing daredevil at the time . however , she did a really good job at making the stories tangential . they weren\u2019t necessary to understand the x - men world , but the backdrop usually did a good job of making the daredevil story richer . daredevil 252 ( ground zero ) is a very good example in a very nocenti - an way .\ni know the background of them and the nocenti / claremont relationship and they\u2019re loose , tangential relationship , but they\u2019re still wonderful comics .\nreally enjoyable little surrealistic digressions and really go in some fun directions . inessential , sure . but nocenti gets a lot out of dd fighting a vacuum and a truck - eating dentist .\nthank you for making me care for havok . i\u2019v always seen him as rather blend character before hearing this episode . also , i would vote for this era\u2019s psylocke any day of the weak instead of the later sexified psylocke .\nmagneto should not needle wanda about having grandkids , as that might lead to her rewriting all of reality again .\nthis episode reminded me of havok\u2019s \u201chow about alex\u201d speech ( where he advocated rejecting all labels instead of being called a mutant ) . while it was certainly problematic , i thought it felt like something he would say . the character here is someone who isn\u2019t necessarily hateful of his powers ( like rogue ) , but is someone who wants to reject all the responsibility that goes with them . his goal is normalcy . so , as long as you don\u2019t read into the speech an editorial belief that it\u2019s the correct thought , i thought it was a good addition to that issue .\nyou know , the \u201cm - word\u201d speech always struck me as something alex would say , too . not just because of his personality , either . he is a good - looking , white , cis - gender male who expects to be treated as an individual \u2013 not a member ( or representative ) of a \u201cgroup . \u201d someone like that has been raised to believe that they , as an individual , are only an individual . then throw in alex\u2019s individual psychology ( as you mention , \u201cnormalcy\u201d being his big goal ) . then throw in his leading an avengers team , the ( nominal ) point of which was to show mutant - human cooperation ( and specifically to show how mutants were heroes just like the avengers ) and i agree that it\u2019s a natural thing for him to say . like you say , so long as you don\u2019t read it as the editorial position ( which didn\u2019t occur to me on my first read of it , honestly ) , it reads as a very reasonable thing for someone with alex\u2019s particular background , personality , and experiences to say .\n\u201cheads up\u2013 if havok\u2019s position in ua # 5 really upset you , it\u2019s time to drown yourself hobo piss . seriously , do it . it\u2019s the only solution . \u201d\ni think any attempt at subtley is out the window . ( the tweet was later deleted , but too many sites picked up on it for it to be ignored )\nsee also the later issue where rogue objects to havok\u2019s comments and instead of a potentially interesting debate , it become a sequence of wanda telling rogue she\u2019s wrong , without offering any proper justification . of course , the fact that alex can pass as a blond white guy ( and rogue and wanda are both human norm too ) gives a very\u201d off\u201d feel to the whole thing .\nkitty\u2019s rebuttal in either uncanny or all - new \u2013i don\u2019t recall which off the top of my head\u2013remains the gold standard for on - page smackdowns as far as i\u2019m concerned .\nit is interesting to watch the different writers provide commentary via the mouths of their respective current characters to \u201csmack down\u201d commentary from other writers in a shared universe with which they disagree . reminds me of those \u201cheroes texting\u201d memes only more\u2026 fulfilling and relevant and , even , less cringe worthy ? maybe ? but when it comes to them bickering / commenting in real - life social media shit gets awkward .\noh , and in light of this sort of thing , i really find it interesting that in the pre - inferno new mutants issues where they riff with the hellions they proudly accept being called \u201cthe muties\u201d by emma\u2019s students .\nwell , i\u2019m not arguing that the guy handles criticism well , just that it\u2019s something that fits what alex summers would say . maybe i\u2019m too charitable towards mr . remender , but i\u2019m fine with the speech existing for exploring his character ( and the whole idea of mutants \u201cpassing\u201d and how that affects mutant politics ) . and , as pointed out below , it set up kitty pryde\u2019s rebuttal , which is also very much in character ( except that she actually managed to make a point without resorting to racial slurs this time ! ) .\ni could be wrong , but i thought that there might have been some notice somewhere that places \u201cx - men versus avengers\u201d miniseries in the first trip to new york that havok took .\nhmmm . it was coming out the same time , and according to the marvel wikia , havok and dazzler are in every issue .\ni hated these issues when they came out . of course , it\u2019s been three decades , and i\u2019ve never wanted to reread them , so i can\u2019t say in hindsight if it would have been better rereading with later context . but at this point :\n1 ) my favorite x - men are all off the team . ( though hey , this arc was actually coming out the same time as excalibur started , meaning that i could read about many of those favorites somewhere else ! )\n2 ) the characters replacing them are all characters i have no connection to whatsoever . with the possible exception of dazzler\u2019s origin story back in the byrne days , i\u2019d never read any comic with these characters in it before they showed up in x - men around this time . ( it does seem surprising to me that i hadn\u2019t read anything with havok in it\u2026 does he maybe show up at scott\u2019s wedding or something ? ) ( how cool would it have been if a couple of the new mutants had graduated up to the x - men instead ? )\n3 ) these issues are just a random jumble of things . different art ( mostly dodgy ) every issue . plot that revolves around arbitrary crap happening . i mean , two issues in a row things are set off by our \u201cheroes\u201d being nearly run over / run off the road completely by accident ? !\n4 ) twice in two issues we have the gimmick of \u201ci recognize this from my time reading the x - men\u2019s files . \u201d right\u2026\n5 ) the issues are driven by the stars acting stupidly . dazzler taking on juggernaut by himself , when he wasn\u2019t obviously doing something dangerous ? that\u2019s freaking insane . then there\u2019s pretty much everything havok does . also\u2026\n6 ) wiping havok\u2019s mind of his knowledge of meeting the x - men is completely insane and unethical . i mean , beyond the fundamental questions about wiping someone\u2019s mind in any circumstances , isn\u2019t the knowledge that someone has been targeting x - men and related mutants literally a matter of life and death for havok ? there\u2019s every reason to think that he and lorna will be targets of the marauders , and of course as this issue reveals they actually are targets .\n8 ) finally , the brood on earth is not a subplot you can forget about for a year ! so at the end of # 218 alex knows it\u2019s vital to contact the x - men about the brood . at the beginning of # 219 he\u2019s visited the x - men and had his mind erased . why didn\u2019t he just call them ? if if alex somehow forgot to tell the x - men why he came to visit them , why didn\u2019t betsy at least notice it in his mind when she was heavily editing it ? this is a potential extinction event for the human race , two of the heroes know about it and realize how serious it is , yet it is completely dropped without a word .\nhonestly , i\u2019ve always assumed this represented some sort of editorial interference in plotting . something like \u201csorry chris , you\u2019ve got to drop everything instantly and start a crossover next month ! \u201d\nwhoops , got confused about the timeline . this was still a year before excalibur , so my favorite x - men were all completely sidelined rather than appearing elsewhere .\ni think plan omega\u2019s intent was that the x - men could stop reacting to everything and begin to go after their enemies . unfortunately , it was never really stated that way and we won\u2019t see it implemented until the australia period , with some mixed results ( i think about half of those issues were the x - men reacting to some situation ) .\nwhen you put it like that it sounds like a good idea , but what they actually do is leave as large as possible a target for those enemies to attack and force them to react yet again . ( or just hang their friends out to dry , as they did with havok and polaris . )\na good episode that actually seems to tie these issues together than the issues themselves ever did .\ncoming out of the massacre into this prolonged dirge of an arc ( if it can be called that ) was the start of the issues where i started to lose interest , not only because that was a very stupid thing to ignore , but because the main x - team as they\u2019d lost kitty and kurt and the increased focus on wolverine didn\u2019t interest me that much . ( the casual ignoring of the space shark didn\u2019t help as it was just too big a thing to ignore lightly )\nwhilst technically betsy might be captain britain\u2019s little sister ( which you mention at least twice ) , it\u2019d be more accurate to say she\u2019s his twin sister , i\u2019m not even sure who the older of the two actually is , nor by how many minutes , but someone else might i\u2019m sure .\noh and the \u201clet\u2019s kill him\u201d bit again ? ? i\u2019ve said it before , i\u2019ll say it again , psylocke is frighteningly keen to kill people since her introduction , generally a little too kill - happy for my tastes , or at least for someone else not to pull her up on it .\nthe third doctor was employed as \u201cscientific advisor\u201d to unit whilst stuck on earth and was officially under the brigadiers command , though the doctor cheerfully ignored him when it suited him , but respected him immensely , and the doctor has never officially resigned his position .\nwhen the much loved actor who played the brigadier died in 2011 , the series producer and showrunner steven moffatt said in his tribute \u201c\u2026 out of all the people the doctor has met , in all of space and time , nicholas courtney\u2019s brigadier alistair gordon lethbridge - stewart was the only one who was ever his boss . \u201d\nand in a later episode , the then current scientific advisor , the brigadiers daughter kate , says of the 12th doctor ; \u201cwelcome to the only planet in the universe where we get to say this : he\u2019s on the payroll . \u201d\nsorry , i\u2019ve been a doctor who nerd a lot longer than i\u2019ve been an x - men nerd . i\u2019ll try to get it out of my system before your excalibur coverage starts .\nmarvel has a pretty spotty history with scientist characters , but sometimes they really hit something dead - on . havok and polaris as phd students who only want to be left alone to do their research , but instead have to constantly deal with real - world crises and being possessed , is such a perfect plot set - up for me . i wish it had been explored further ( or revisited in a drs . havok and polaris secret wars miniseries ) .\ni just got back from pax prime and am still catching up on work , but i\u2019d like to write a piece for the blog about exactly that sometime . keep an eye out ; hopefully i\u2019ll get to that before too long ! ( and thanks for asking ! )\ni hope it will at least take a moment to have a jerry seinfeld style \u201cwhat\u2019s the deal with ultimate longshot ? \u201d because i\u2019m still trying to recover from that .\nit was a radical upside - down , indeed . i\u2019ve got to admit i liked him a lot , though \u2013so shocking !\noh , man . we are now up to where i started collecting x - books on my own , instead of borrowing from a friend . \u2013 the havok issue was the first one i bought for myself , and it made a halfway decent jumping - on point . this , x - factor 17 and whatever issue of classic x - men came out that month ( think it was the reprint of 99 ) were where i started , and ran straight through until the 90s happened to the entire line .\ni didn\u2019t get to these issues until i was far down the rabbit hole of x - men addiction ; actually i think i got them as reprints of \u201csabertooth classic\u201d in the \u201990s\u2026 ick\u2026 but getting to my point , the bit about psylocke suggesting they just outright murder alex always struck me as the most important bit for this period . her transformation in \u201cacts of vengeance\u201d just seems to be a natural progression over the post \u201cmassacre\u201d era that her battle with creed hinted at , but truly came to the fore , with this arc .\ni have also noticed her brother , brian , was a bit of an epic , hard drinkin\u2019 fist full o\u2019 assholes around this time in excalibur . toss in jamie and we have an extremely interesting dynamic of a family of mostly heroes that is still , generally , a bunch of jerks . their interactions with the summers clan has depths that have shamefully not yet been explored .\n\u2026and sorry to keep commenting but this is totally an amazing piece of david wynne\u2019s art and just listened to his spots on fantasticast . fuckin\u2019 love that dude and thank you all for introducing me to his work\njust realized i put this in the as mentioned in thread by accident . powers that be , feel free to delete that ! ( sorry . )\npsylocke\u2019s suggestion that havok needs to be killed is pretty bonkers . ( havok is an auxiliary x - man and she presents basically no good reason for killing him ! ) despite that , it seems to indicate an interesting mandate for the character that claremont never totally got around to fleshing out : that despite those prissy pink pajamas she\u2019s meant to be ruthlessly pragmatic and actually kind of shady . we\u2019ll see this expressed again again from time to time \u2014 like when she mentally pushes the team through the siege perilous against their wills\u2013 but it never quite develops into a real story . ( this , to me , is related to but separate from the more often explored but somewhat less interesting notion that she longs to be more physically imposing . )\nthe dark turn the book seems to be taking at this point is actually pretty exciting on an issue by issue basis . it\u2019s too bad that it 1 ) ends up amounting to not all that much and 2 ) makes hardly any sense if you think about it too hard .\ni think juggernaut\u2019s skull - cap first appeared in marvel team - up # 150 , which was also the last issue of that run of the series . the story has juggy giving black tom the crystal gym of cyttorak and tom not appreciating becoming all big and juggernauty . it\u2019s set while rachel was still on the team as just rachel , not phoenix . haven\u2019t read it in ages , and sadly it\u2019s not available on marvel unlimited .\nthe juggernaut secondary skull - cap actually made its first appearance in marvel team - up # 150 ( which happens to be my first exposure to an x - men story ever ! woot ) . it\u2019s actually quite ingenious . since his helmet is the one thing protecting him from those pesky telepaths and every battle with the x - men essentially boils down to everyone trying to get his helmet off so that a telepath can knock him down , why not provide an added level of protection , with a second , even more tightly fitted helmet underneath the first one ? \ud83d\ude42\nif you havent read this mtu story , you should , i think it also bleeds into the main book continuity at some point . in this story rogue absorbs juggernaut\u2019s powers turning into juggerrogue , which i distinctly remember getting referenced later on .\nsave my name , email , and website in this browser for the next time i comment .\nart by david wynne . prints and cards available until 8 / 30 / 2015 at the shop , or contact david to purchase the original .\nthe opening gimmick who cried wolf .

' s only all - female endurance road race\ni competed in america ' s first all - female endurance road rally . i ' d never even changed a tire .\nwe were lost . not can you pull up google maps ? lost , or do we still have a road atlas somewhere ? lost . no , we were are we in california or nevada ? lost ; thank god we have emergency supplies lost ; this landscape would be gorgeous if it weren ' t so apocalyptic lost . the jeep ' s gps system had been disabled , and our phones and laptops were turned off and sealed in envelopes . we had a collection of specialized large - scale topographical maps , but to figure out where you are on a topo map ( a relief map that shows a region ' s geographical features ) , you have to know how to read it . i was supposed to be the better topo reader in our pair , and i could barely pick out the most prominent landmarks . if coyotes or unfriendly strangers appeared , we ' d be completely , royally screwed .\nwe sat in the jeep with the air conditioning on high , eating sugary energy chews and gulping down coconut water .\nthis all called for a set of navigation skills no one uses anymore\u2014unless you ' re a sailor or a fifth grader prepping for a social studies test .\nthroughout the course , 140 checkpoints were hidden behind broken - down mine shacks , just beyond hairpin turns , deep inside mountain crevices , and sometimes , blessedly , directly on the route . large green flags marked the easiest - to - find checkpoints ; smaller blue flags identified intermediate ones . black checkpoints , the most difficult to find , weren ' t marked at all . each was worth a certain number of points . the goal : rack up as many as possible .\nevery morning we were given a list of checkpoints to find that day ( one day there ' d be 12 ; another day , 22 ) , defined solely by their latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates . we had to plot them on our topo maps , then use geometry to strategize how to get from one to the next . this all called for a set of navigation skills no one uses anymore\u2014unless you ' re a sailor or a fifth grader prepping for a social studies test . we weren ' t allowed phones , gps , or outside help . kind of like an adult female eagle scouts on steroids , or survivor meets the amazing race in the american west .\nthe automotive world is notoriously male - dominated , making a women - only motorsports event revolutionary .

[ 81 ]\nbelieve it or not , japanese pop - culture remains less consistently fascinated with ninja than the west , and especially neighboring china , but the subject enjoys intermittent bouts of public fascination , particularly in the realm of manga , anime , and historical - fantasy novels . shinobi : heart under blade is an adaptation of one such novel , futaro yamada ' s the koga ninja scrolls , a fictionalized dramatization of a feud between the koga and iga clans at the dawn of the tokugawa shogunate that also served as the basis for the anime series basilisk .\nin the film horsemen ( starring dennis quaid ) , ziyi zhang has second billing in the opening credits . even if you didn ' t recognize the name , the fact that she ' s the only asian actor in the movie gives away the fact that her character is more than she seems to be when she is first introduced .\npictures . further compromised by atrocious dubbing , the story now makes little sense , with major plot elements ( like the kidnapping of the princess ) omitted altogether . the lengthy action sequences are clumsily staged and totally unbelievable . in sum , cyber ninja is a nearly unmatchable mess .\nthe only morphers that don ' t fall under either category are in mighty morphin ( belt buckles ) , ninja storm ( an amulet ball for the sixth ranger ) , jungle fury ( sunglasses for the core trio ) , rpm ( flight sticks for the sixth rangers ) , megaforce ( handheld card reader - things for the core team ) , dino charge ( guns ) , and ninja steel ( giant shuriken ) . the sixth ranger ' s morpher being very different most of the time often means someone will fit into this category if not everyone .\n, and , for the first time ever , he also exercised complete editorial supervision , while the script was written by maruo ky\u014dzuka . this film is said to be a love story by the manga author , given how he always wanted to write one . as such , its tagline is\nthe last episode ; a first love\n(\n/ \u672a\u6765\u5fcd\u8005 ) . what i didn\u2019t know about cyber ninja was that it is probably the first example of a feature length video game commercial , a much too - long advertisement for a namco arcade game that never made its way into american pizza parlors and miniature golf course arcades .\nstorming the castle : not as often as the reverse all your base are belong to us , but it happens . as noted above , zeo and jungle fury used this in place of all your base for their finales , and ninja storm and dino thunder used both at once .\nfleeting demographic rule : the seasonal themes ; recycled ones include dinosaurs ( eleven years between the first season of mighty morphin and dino thunder , ten between dino thunder and dino charge ) , ninjas ( eight years between the third season of mighty morphin and ninja storm , 14 between ninja storm and ninja steel ) , animals ( six years between wild force and jungle fury ) and cool cars ( twelve years between turbo and rpm ) . also , we had rangers - as - public / civil servants in lightspeed rescue ( 2000 ) and themes around time and space in time force ( 2001 ) \u2014 spd would be aired in 2005 and its seasonal theme is arguably a combination of those two ( and although the events are in space is alluded to here for normalizing relations between earthlngs and non - earthlings , it is relatively minor theme - wise ) .\nnaruto video games have appeared on various consoles from nintendo , sony and microsoft . most of them are fighting games in which the player controls one of a select few characters directly based upon their counterparts in the naruto anime and manga . the player pits their character against another character controlled by the game\u2019s ai or by another player , depending on the mode that the player is in . the objective is to reduce the opponent\u2019s health to zero using basic attacks and special techniques unique to each character that are derived from techniques they use in the naruto anime or manga . [ 109 ] the very first naruto video game was naruto : konoha ninp\u014dch\u014d , which was released in japan on march 27 , 2003 , for the wonderswan color . [ 110 ] most naruto video games have been released only in japan . the first games released outside japan were the naruto : gekitou ninja taisen series and the naruto : saikyou ninja daikesshu series , released in north america under the titles of naruto : clash of ninja and naruto : ninja council . [ 111 ] [ 112 ] in january 2012 , namco bandai announced that they have sold 10 million naruto games worldwide . [ 113 ]\nafter seeing a tea ceremony , misogi and what appears to be ninja training , alice remarks that all of the activities look quite interesting . in the background , a trainee manages to take flight on a kite , a callout to the book \u201ckoga ninjutsu gokuhi\u201d , where genzo hattori , a ninja , infiltrated a castle to torch it by means of descending unto it via a kite . this sounds perfect for a mythbusters episode , and it is likely the myth would be busted , since a kite is inherently difficult to maneuver and unlikely to generate enough lift to slow a person\u2019s descent .\ncan peep imdb link here urltoken this is dvdrip of japanese release so it ' s in japanese with no subs . but anyone willing to sub would be cool .

[ 3 ] the u . s . dvd was released in 2009 .\nthe film starts off with the explanation of kaguya \u014dtsutsuki consuming the chakra fruit , the birth of the ten - tails , the sage of the six paths stopping the beast and creating the tailed beasts . it then moves over to the fight battles between asura \u014dtsutsuki and indra \u014dtsutsuki , to madara uchiha and hashirama senju , and the ending conflict between naruto uzumaki and sasuke uchiha .\nharrison , a veteran of the gladiator and\nspaghetti western\ngenres who once joked that his\ngreatest contribution to cinema\nwas turning down a fistful of dollars and recommending clint eastwood for the role instead , was paid to shoot what he thought was a small number of ninja movies for ho while working in hong kong . only discovering later that , through ho ' s cut - and - paste editing , he had\nstarred\nin over a dozen z - grade ninja movies , which would later be said to have ruined his reputation as an actor but are today amongst his most widely - known work .\nthe story : ogami itto , the shogun ' s head executioner , is conspired against by rival retsudo yagyu , master of the shogun ' s personal ninja assassination squad . when his wife is murdered , itto goes on the run and becomes a ronin for hire , taking his infant son daigoro with him via a specially - outfitted baby carriage that ' s armored , bullet - proof an equipped with hidden weapons that both father and son can trigger ( hence\nbaby cart\n) . together , they travel feudal japan taking on soldier - of - fortune work and fending off continued assault by the yagyu ninja clan .\nother violations of the limit include two kats and a katie ( mmpr - turbo , spd , and time force respectively ) , two mikes ( lost galaxy and samurai ) , and two hayleys ( dino thunder and ninja steel ) . incidentally , both\nkat\ns are meaningful names for the same reason .\nthe company is joined by mr . cyber ninja while storming the entrance to caves under the castle . one fight follows another in this movie and the few times the characters speak it does little for development . in this way the movie resembles any number of power ranger type television shows or video games . imagine that .\nfan film : a hollywood - quality fan film simply entitled power / rangers was released in early 2015 with swearing , graphic violence and sexual content . with its high production values and known actors ( katee sackhoff and james van der beek ) and skirted close to copyright infringement . ( all fan - created content offered to the public is technically illegal regardless of earning money from it , except in cases of parody and / or review . most are ignored because of the quality of the product and futility of chasing down every piece of fan fiction or fan art . the movie was good enough that it could be mistaken for an official production and especially because of the graphic content , it could have hurt the brand ' s image . saban had the movie taken down in short order .\ncarl macek , president of the santa monica - based streamline pictures , has done some valuable work in importing japanese animated films for us audiences . what he ' s done here , however , as\nenglish language adaptation producer and director\nof cyber ninja , is a joke . much in the manner of k . gordon\nbut more importantly for our purposes , it reshaped the way ninja were presented in the genre for decades . color - coded uniforms were out , black pjs were back and small teams were replaced by a surplus of infinitely - renewing foot soldiers swarming over action scenes like human fire - ants \u2014 and that was just the beginning ."]}

let\u2019s take a closer look .\nthe film , in places , almost feels like an homage to 1970s american horror films , showing off the grandiose side of the manhattan skyline , but also the dark squalour in which the people live , as well as the impotence of authority and the survival instinct of man .\njust called my friend who was doing his medical residency at new york eye & ear infirmary on 14th st back in the early 1970s . he said they definitely filmed brando\u2019s hospital scene there and also the genco deathbed scene which can only be seen in the trilogy film version .\nso understated and yet exciting is damici ' s take on clutch ( both in terms of acting and writing , since he also co - scripted the film with its director jim mickle ) that the character quickly rises through the ranks of genre movie tough - guy heroes during this film ' s brief 90 minutes , just about taking his place up there with such greats as john rambo , dirty harry , and even mad max - - while never devolving into the realm of near - parody that those three did in their latter adventures . this guy is that cool .\nepic movie : this was to be scorsese ' s epic movie , and chef d ' ouevre . executive meddling caused it to be cut down some , and the acting of the romantic leads has led to mixed critical reception . it ' s nevertheless every inch an epic film though .\n, once emmanuelle vaugier and luke goss had already signed on to do it , you can bet that someone else would take his place . but if director jim mickle ( who wrote the film along with nick damici , who plays the lead ) gave up on it , it\u2019s pretty likely that\nthat\u2019s the plan for now . i have a couple of contacts , that i got from my hollywood producer contacts , who are in rome , and apparently were location scouts for the film . so , i might be able to narrow it down further before i leave for sicily in june .\n. . . starts out like the sort of indie art - house fare you ' d expect an up - and - coming film student to make . . . but soon a mutant strain of bubonic plague spread by rats starts turning all the inhabitants of new york into rat - faced zombies .\nmob war : the dead rabbits ( and later resurrected dead rabbits ) vs . bill ' s nativists are a pretty hard - core , tribal version of this . unusual for representations of this kind of conflict in film , it ends with the authorities barging in and massacring ( almost ) everybody .\nostensibly a zombie movie , mickle does a good job of selling the idea that new york is under quarantine . since he\u2019s not exactly francis lawrence , he can\u2019t really shut down whole areas of the city , so he sells these ideas via a near constant stream of news and tv broadcasts that mix footage from what i assume is from 9 / 11 , the blackout , etc . , along with standard \u201cquick no one\u2019s around let\u2019s film this street\u201d type stuff . it works well . most of the action is confined to a single apartment building , and thus doesn\u2019t require such extravagant shots like a deserted times square in order to get the point across .\nscout : outstanding work for your godfather photos and historical research . your untiring efforts made to investigate the facts behind each scene are certainly appreciated , especially those associated with sonny\u2019s demise at the tolls booths . viewing each photo , combined with your subtitles , was similar to being taken back into the original film .\ncardinal hayes is a high school in the bronx , and after a year of minor seminary \u2014 a tryout for the priesthood ; once a regular stop for bright catholic boys of limited means \u2014 scorsese went there . ( don delillo , the novelist , was a few years ahead . ) rejected by fordham university because of poor grades , scorsese enrolled at n . y . u . \u2019s washington square college and its film program . from there , he plunged into the \u201960s : a concertgoer at the fillmore east , an expatriate in england and holland , an assistant director at woodstock ( he became an editor on the concert film ) and then a maker of his own movies \u2014 \u201cwho\u2019s that knocking at my door , \u201d about a young man in the suddenly liberated \u201960s whose catholic principles keep him out of bed with his girlfriend , and \u201cboxcar bertha , \u201d a film about a female rabble - rouser \u201cfree\u2019er than most . \u201d\nthis can apply to a number of things in the movie ; modern audiences can be shocked and appalled by how new york really was in the 1860 ' s , looking at modern new york now it ' s almost unbelievable . and yet the film , though taking a few creative liberties , is largely accurate .\nhowever , only the don leaving the hospital by ambulance was shot at lincoln hospital in the bronx , the exterior of michael standing outside with enzo the baker was shot at bellevue hospital , the 29th st . entrance ( with close - ups filmed on the paramount lot in hollywood ) . the29th st . side bellevue entrance has been closed off since 2001 , but an identical entrance is on the 30th st . side of the building and matches the entrance in the film perfectly . the interior hospital scenes were shot at the eye and ear hospital on 13th street and 2nd ave . that location is also comparable in appearance as it was in march , 1971 when they shot the scene .\nwhen scorsese returned from japan , he procured the film rights to \u201csilence . \u201d as the years passed , hardly a day went by without his mentioning the project to the people around him : actors , friends and even his old parish priest , father principe . as he made \u201cthe aviator\u201d and \u201cthe departed , \u201d \u201cshutter island\u201d and \u201chugo , \u201d he insisted that \u201csilence\u201d was the picture he really wanted to make . a jesuit was elected pope ; islamic terrorists began targeting christians in the middle east . in 2014 , with \u201cthe wolf of wall street\u201d a hit , scorsese declared that \u201csilence\u201d would be his next picture : he wouldn\u2019t commit to another until it was finished . twenty - six years in , filming began .\njason and ashley said their nuptuals at their beautiful may wedding in macon ga . the ceremony was held at mulberry methodist church in downtown macon , and the reception was held at idle hour country club . obviously head over heels for each other , these two celebrated the night away surrounded by close family and friends . the entire day was beautiful in every way and reflected the love they have for one another . congratulations jason and ashley ! it was a pleasure working with you both !\nthe dvd comes with what seems like a substantial amount of extras , but sadly they are not really much to write blogs about . the video quality is poor on several , resulting in a \u201cwhat the hell am i looking at ? \u201d feeling on the outtakes and makeup test portions . a pair of deleted scenes are wisely cut , and the sketches / storyboards are only of minor interest . still , the film itself is the real bonus . this is exactly the type of film after dark should be releasing ( in the festival or not ) \u2013 true independent films that would be otherwise lost on the video shelves without the promotion ad gave them . you think something like\nthe characters don ' t run into clich\u00e9 often , which shows how well thought - out the film is . it would have been far too easy to have the screaming blond girl , for example . all of them have their own personal strengths and character flaws and we don ' t get endless conversation about their back - story . they are , in equal measure , tragic , strong and human . particularly in the last few minutes , when the story reaches a rather low key climax , they really do come to life . there ' s a sense of intelligence in the film that ends , as did night of the living dead , with a sense of hopelessness .\nit\u2019s also one of the few modern horror movies to deal with any sort of social commentary . greedy land developers and such are given their due , the heroes of the film are hard - working blue collar types who are just trying to survive . sure , it\u2019s hardly original , but since so few modern horror films ( especially the ones\nan article on nov . 27 about martin scorsese referred incorrectly to his involvement with \u201cwoodstock , \u201d the 1970 documentary about the 1969 music festival . he was one of several editors on the film , not the sole editor . the article also misidentified the company that released the 1986 drama \u201cthe color of money . \u201d it was released by touchstone pictures in association with silver screen partners ii , not universal pictures . the article also referred incorrectly to the title of a film . it is \u201cthe bridge on the river kwai , \u201d not \u201cbridge over the river kwai . \u201d the article also misstated the given name of a jesuit poet . he was gerard manley hopkins , not gerald .\ncertain film characters are just instantly cool , and that ' s the case in this indie horror movie ' s male lead , clutch ( nick damici ) . an aging ex - boxer who lives in an apartment building on the titular street in downtown new york city , clutch is the kind of no - nonsense guy you can count on when the going gets tough , but he ' s also got a soft side , whether it ' s pertaining to his daughter , a potential girlfriend , or the old dudes who live upstairs from him and don ' t get around so well anymore . also , when it comes to fighting zombies , clutch doesn ' t bother with guns or clubs or even cricket bats . nope , he just uses his fists .\n, don\u2019t really strike me as independent films . they have big actors ( well , big for horror films ) , budgets of a million or more , myriad producers , etc . to me , an independent film is one that quite frankly wouldn\u2019t be made if the director decided not to do it , populated with people you haven ' t seen in\nat his mercy , he describes the hellish ways in which he will disfigure him with his knife . when we next see him , he is walking down the street with his face obscured but several onlookers stare in horror , implying bill stuck to his word . when the camera pans around , there doesn ' t seem to be much of a difference aside from a slight scar on his cheek that is hardly noticeable .\nby the time the godfather was filmed , all us churches would have made the change in the orientation of the altar , so the way it is set for the film was probably a special staging to reflect the way it would have looked in the 1940s . the baptismal font was probably still separate in the 1970s , but that tradition is no longer prevalent .\n\u201ci don\u2019t think i am called to be a priest , \u201d garfield said to me resolutely , as if making this film had spurred him to consider the prospect . \u201cbut i had the feeling that i was being called to something : called to work with one of the great directors , and called to this role as something i had to pursue for my spiritual development . \u201d\nthey ' ve done something quite interesting with the special effects in this film . they ' ve kept the sight of attacks quite low , using mainly quick jumps and fade - to - black , or aftermath shots . it helps keep the story moving and doesn ' t give us time to mock the lower budget sfx or compare them to more expensive films like 28 days later .\nmuch of that feel comes from the picture having actually been shot in manhattan , and the city is all here , from the big beauty shots of the skyline to the nitty - gritty of clutch ' s apartment building . but mulberry street ' s sense of authenticity comes from those characters too , who all exist and act and react in this situation in such a way as to never draw the viewer out of the experience . when the super of the building turns into a big , slobbering rat - man , clutch ' s middle - aged neighbor explains it to his elderly roommate quite simply :\nhe turned into a big f - - - ing rat . we had to lock him in the closet .\nbut he ' s still more upset that his roomie has been sneaking in a stogie during the crisis . and when the upwardly mobile types in the building decide to leave town rather than stick out the infestation and fight , he responds ,\ngodd - - - ed yuppies , jumping ship . go back to connecticut !\nis well worth seeing and comes strongly recommended for you thinking people that want to see more than just teenagers making out and then getting killed . the film for the most part is a strong zombie siege style movie , that\u2019s only really let down by its all of a sudden lame ending . and it ' s refreshing to see a zombie movie ( even though it ' s not really a zombie film even though it follows the classic format ) with strong characterisations acted by good actors under keen and assured direction , despite its flaws . with more budget assigned to the action sequences , and with a better ending , this could easily have been a classic . either way , it ' s still well worth catching if you can see past its shortcomings , which i ' m sure most of you will .\naccording to the press release , the exhibition \u201clooks at the urban violence and mayhem that was the focus of weegee\u2019s early work . \u201d he lived across the street from a police station and would hear of new crimes through his police -

hour global market ) in an increasingly globalized economy .\nhere\u2019s the thing : the last time i visited brooklyn heights , a few years ago , the entrance to this bar \u2013 including the art deco goldfish \u2013 were still visible from inside the clark street subway station . the glass doors were largely boarded up and padlocked , and could be seen only from several yards away . but if they\u2019re still there today , look directly to your left as you enter through the subway station turnstiles \u2014 you may still glimpse the doors . what\u2019s behind them \u2026 i\u2019ve always wondered .\n: while scorsese definitely did the research , he noted that the film is intended to be more of an\noperatic\nmyth than a documentary ; as a result , he felt free to mix and match cooler - sounding elements of various historical accounts that didn ' t coexist in real life . the bulk of the movie ' s set from 1862 - 1863 and rolls a decade ' s worth of history into that time period .\ndeliberate values dissonance : the examples are legion . chinese immigrants are physically ( and violently ) prevented from voting . two rival city fire departments brawl in the street instead of actually putting out the fire . the welfare state is nonexistent , as the only people who give a damn about the sufferings of the slum inhabitants are church leaders and opportunistic\ndo - gooders\nlike boss tweed . and the only action taken against the threat of epidemic disease is squirting antibiotic gunk all over the streets from time to time .\ni was fortunate enough at the age of 15 to have had the opportunity to be an extra in the godfather . i was at connie\u2019s wedding at the house on staten island and i actually appear for a few brief seconds in the film . i remember very well the location and the fake walls made of plywood covered in stone veneer . thanks for the pictures of what it looks like today . brings back memories i will always cherish .\nafter dark horrorfest ( also known as 8 films to die for ) is an annual festival that began in 2006 , highlighting independent genre movies that would have otherwise been delegated to the dusty shelves of the local rental shack , doomed to the hell that is obscurity . it was an inspired concept , giving budding film makers a platform to present their crafts , and i was excited to see what the future of horror had in store for me .\nthis is the best review of godfather locations that i\u2019ve ever seen . two items i\u2019d like to add . that barbershop photo has a logo on the glass which looks a lot like the logo of the st regis hotel in midtown ( someone above already mentioned that ) . regarding lincoln hospital in the bronx , i used to work right across the street from the new hospital location while it was being built . it was finishing up when i quit in early \u201972 . i\u2019d guess that the old hospital was demolished in \u201972 or \u201973 .\nthe film stars garrett hedlund , andrea riseborough , forest whitaker , tom wilkinson and usher raymond , among others . it is set in the south in the 1990s and follows character mike burden , an orphan raised within the ku klux klan , as he tries to leave the group at the urging of his girlfriend . whitaker portrays the pastor of a black congregation who takes burden , his girlfriend and her son in , in order to protect them from a vengeful klan .\nit\u2019s also smartly paced . the first 40 minutes are like old cronenberg in a way , with just the feeling of impending dread instead of in your face gore sequences . we just see these guys going about their day , with minor mentions of rat problems and such sort of presented in the background . then the 2nd half of the film ( it\u2019s only 82 minutes long , hurrah ! ) is an almost nonstop series of \u2018zombie\u2019 attacks ( they\u2019re more like the ratty vampire things from\nthe 55th street entrance to the wellington hotel looks very much like the location where one of the heads of a family gets locked in the revolving door and killed during the baptism assassination sequence . i have no proof that this is the location . it is just a hunch coming from me staying there on my only trip to nyc and as i went out that door knew that i had seen it before . then watching the movie again later this year convinced myself that was why it was familiar . i am curious if any ny\u2019ers could look closer and see what you think .\ni found the actual gravestone used in the film many years ago at fasolino monuments nearby the cemetery . they either sold or donated it to a school in long island city . my wife and i saw it in a lobby near some elevators there , but i haven\u2019t visited there in years . also , i haven\u2019t read all the posts , but supposedly , the barber shop \u201cmoe greene\u201d scene was shot at the st . regis hotel . hence the st . r on the window outside the shop .\nweren ' t zombies either , merely infected humans , no matter what the fan sites say . this time though the infected have been bitten by rats , and the infected begin to display rat like characteristics almost immediately . big teeth i can buy ( like the guys on the cover - they ' re not in the film by the way ) but the big snouty rat noses look a little bit ridiculous , which is a crying shame . not that you ever get to see them for that long though ,\nthe cast is a huge part of that success . with one exception , i don\u2019t doubt for a second that any of these characters ( mostly blue collar types ) are genuine , hard - working new yorkers who get caught up in a horror movie plot . damici in particular is a fantastic lead , and carries the film effortlessly . big actors wouldn\u2019t work for this particular movie . i always hate when i\u2019d see a schwarzenegger movie that tried to pass him off as a regular family / working man ( like\nboss tweed , too . he tries to be a magnificent bastard . in the latter half of the film , he stokes the flames of conflict between bill cutting and amsterdam until the two are driven into a gang war which leaves all his rivals decimated . as a result , he is able to emerge as the uncontested master of new york politics until his downfall in 1871 . however , a lot of his constituency is dead by the movie ' s end .\nwe ' re burying a lot of votes tonight . . .\nthe cavalry : technically , the infantry , but once the riot breaks out , there ' s a montage of violent scenes and telegraph reports about how the police are totally unable to contain the riot , the rioters have taken control of the city , all the police have been put out of action or are unaccounted for , there ' s no hope , and then , suddenly ,\nfrom 16th , the 7th regiment has arrived , foot of canal street . they are on their way to broadway .\nthere ' s still a lot of fighting before the mob is put down , but you know the tide has turned ."]}

gay rhetoric and fervor , which has led to persecution of those in uganda who identify themselves as lgbt ( lesbian , gay , bisexual , and transgender ) .\nroger ross williams\u2019 eye - opening documentary follows evangelicals who travel to uganda to convert souls and demonize gays .\nbishop christopher senyonjo was for many years a respected religious leader in uganda and rose to become a bishop . however , in the early \u201990s his commission was revoked because of his support and compassion for gays . he continues his own \u201cmission\u201d in uganda and was awarded the clinton global citizen award in 2012 for his work and unwavering belief that \u201cwe are all god ' s children . \u201d\n' the bible tells us that the refugee is specially loved by god , ' welby said as he joined in prayers in a camp in the northern district of moyo .\ndocumentary looks into uganda ' s activist gay community\n. voice of america , march 3 , 2012 .\nfor awhile , i was having a hard time tracking this film down because i had convinced myself that it was called god hates uganda . here we have the story of local and foreign evangelists competing for the hearts and minds of ugandan citizens with little regard for the hatred that they brew .\ngospel of intolerance : u . s . evangelicals fund uganda antigay movement | op -

- knowing that he didn ' t share their views - - because they wanted the world to behold their work . those less inclined to swallow what ihop is serving up will find god loves uganda chilling and disturbing , but they ' ll also be inspired to find out what they can do to curb that country ' s human rights violations .\nin the well -

gay rhetoric . it also features the story of bishop christopher senyonjo , a minister excommunicated , ostracized , and literally spat on for being tolerant , who campaigns for peace and healing in uganda , as well as an interview with gay activist david kato shortly before he was murdered .\nfor me , i\u2019m a filmmaker , i\u2019ll always be making films . when\ngod loves uganda\ngets recognized , with the incredible team i ' ve had this time , it\u2019s been a dream . and to have success and be at sundance and all the attention around the film , with a team i adore that\u2019s very professional - - it ' s been amazing and transformative . i got very emotional talking to a reporter who asked me what it would mean if i won a second oscar . it would mean vindication . vindication ! that\u2019s the honest truth .\nwhile religious leaders within and outside uganda have seemingly benefited from american largesse , a few lone voices have emerged to speak out , and they give the film its moral backbone . the rev . kapya kaoma was formerly an anglican priest in uganda but was forced to flee the country and now , based in boston , conducts research on the christian right\u2019s colonization of african values and the violent intolerance of lgbt people in uganda .\ngod loves uganda , which premiered on friday at sundance , is more disturbing : it documents the efforts of evangelicals to export america\u2019s culture war to africa . missionaries , of course , have been going to africa for centuries now . what\u2019s different is an effort not just to bring jesus to africa , but the entire political agenda of the american conservative movement . they\u2019re not just bringing the message that \u201cjesus saves , \u201d but a raft of positions about which christians may disagree : abstinence over birth control , adoption over abortion , and , most disturbingly , the complete eradication of any trace of homosexuality from society .\nboyd , lydia . 2015 . preaching prevention : born -

opening documentary , the kansas city - based evangelical group international house of prayer ( ihop ) is seen not only spreading the gospel to desperate people in uganda , but also demonizing homosexuality and banning the use of condoms among a population heavily hit by hiv . this is clearly a film with an agenda and will be well - received by like - minded viewers on a socially conscious cable outlet .\nyou struck a goldmine there , didn\u2019t you ? ! i struck a goldmine ! i\u2019m going to send a crew to uganda to film a video spot of him .\nmost have fled south to uganda , whose open - door refugee policy is now creaking under the sheer weight of numbers in sprawling camps carved out of the bush .\nthe story god loves uganda tells is damning . director william , who grew up in a religious household , said he is \u201cfascinated by both religion and its power to do evil . \u201d it is , nonetheless , worth asking whether the anti - gay views of the american church can be so clearly blamed for what is happening in a society where homophobia was already prevalent . and the documentary vacillates between a heavy - handed depiction of crazed , hateful cultists , and a more earnest effort to chronicle the lives of well - meaning american missionaries . but somewhere in there is a sharp message , delivered best in the film by bishop christopher senyonjo , who asks which part of the christian gospels calls for evangelizing hatred ?\nthere are few places on earth as inhospitable to gays as uganda . the nation is weighing the anti - homosexuality bill , which would punish homosexual acts with draconian punishments .\nthese adults are putting into practice across uganda an aggressive campaign , bolstered by tried - and - true evangelical techniques that have come to be less effective in the u . s .\nbut i felt god wanted me to go back ,\nsenyonjo says .\ni ' ve been harassed , but people are coming to know that what i ' m trying to do is not really something which should make someone regarded as an enemy of our nation .\nrecently , i was on al jazeera with the former vice president of uganda , dr . gilbert bukenya who is currently a member of parliament and is running for president of uganda . he could likely be the next president of uganda . we had this incredible dialogue . i traveled to washingto d . c . , and we screened the film . his daughter and assistant came to the screening , and afterwards said , \u201cwow , this film totally opened our eyes . this is exactly what\u2019s going on in our country . \u201d she later told me her father wanted to meet with me . dr . bukenya had been in support of the anti - homosexuality bill . i ended up in this hotel room with the possible future president of uganda !\nwilliams , who says grew up in the black church but was later rejected when he came out as gay , focuses on a group of evangelical christians in uganda and their evangelism efforts .\na woman wraps archbishop of canterbury justin welby in a piece of cloth upon arrival at mirieyi settlement camp in adjumani district during his visit to south sudanese refugees , uganda august 2 , 2017 .\na . evangelicalism has become a byword among many , and perhaps , at times , for good reason . however , the history of evangelicalism sees a people convinced by the claims of christ as shown in the bible , which , as a result of a spiritual transformation in their own lives , has led to great social reforms in human history : the abolition of the slave trade , the feeding of the poor , the establishment of labor laws , education as a right for all . we identify and seek to emulate this evangelical tradition , seeking justice for the whole person . we , along with the body of christ , seek to serve both the spiritual and physical needs of people : spiritual needs through prayer , bible translation , teaching , and evangelism , and physical needs through feeding programs , training programs , clothing those in need , combating the orphan crisis , and seeking to end sex - trafficking . the students that the god loves uganda film crew followed were involved in prayer , evangelism , and humanitarian activities . at no point were they preaching sexual morality or fomenting anti - gay rhetoric in uganda .\noutside his home , david kato ( 1964 - 2011 ) recounts how he found out about\ngay life\nwhen he was living in south africa ten years earlier . he picked up a gay escort and had sex for the first time , at the age of twenty - eight . he then decided to return to his home country of uganda and spread gay rights there . at the headquarters of sexual minorities uganda , the lgbt non - profit organization he runs , he explains he is the first openly gay man in uganda . he adds his job is to track all instances of homophobia in uganda . we then see a man from mbale explaining he was arrested and humiliated by police officers . . . we are then introduced to naome ruzindana , a lesbian activist with two children . in 2004 , she founded the coalition of african lesbians .\nthousands of refugees from south sudan arrive at the most recently established imvepi reception centre in arua district , uganda . children , women and men are fleeing the country with their belongings , livestock and sometimes with nothing .\nthe archbishop of canterbury , justin welby , prayed yesterday with south sudanese refugees in northern uganda , which is home to a nearly million fugitives from a four - year civil war in the world ' s youngest nation .\naside from the premise itself , the most striking thing about the film is that ihop has granted williams full access . apparently , the group thinks there is no such thing as bad publicity , and the depiction is predictably far from flattering . interviews with the bombastic leaders of the church establish the importance attached to the mission in uganda , which is regarded as \u201cthe pearl of africa\u201d since it is so ripe for indoctrination , with more than half the population under 15 . well - meaning though they may be , these evangelicals believe god has given them the mandate to rule the world .\nit happened across the continent . uganda was a country at its worst point and america represents so much to the world , its wealth , power and image . hollywood has done a good job - - people around the world listen .\nalthough uganda ' s anti - homosexuality bill has stirred up major controversy , many activists and observers believe that it will not be brought before parliament for a vote . senyonjo says the legislation has been a\nblessing in disguise .\nit ' s commendable that this film tried to shed light on the horrifying influence of conservative christian values on uganda . i think a lot of what this film showcases needed to be seen and speaks a lot about the political affiliation that these religions push on countries that don ' t have the same rights and freedoms as those protected in other countries . the interviews were solid , and following the ihop missionaries was intriguing , but the correlation between these people and uganda needed to be made clearer . there is legislation in uganda against homosexuality , but there was nothing about the violence enacted against these people , the discrimination , and the countless deaths . the funeral scene was a good start and showed human kindness exists in uganda , but it didn ' t show the true impact of these people and their heinous causes . a very beautiful film overall , it still showed the ugandan societal landscape , and what has changed its features in the past thirty years .\nthe documentary call me kuchu follows uganda\u2019s first openly gay man and a retired anglican bishop as they work to defeat a law that would make homosexuality punishable by death . check out the trailer here , and the dvd can be purchased on amazon .\nin fact , williams says , they had a public relations person \u201cchaperone\u201d him during the filming in uganda to make sure no one got off topic . he soon discovered the mission of ihop was part of a larger christian evangelical movement in uganda that promotes biblical law as the ultimate law . their message is everywhere \u2013 from street preachers shouting gospel to drivers and pedestrians , to stores with names like \u201choly face of jesus pharmacy , \u201d \u201cborn again brokers , \u201d and \u201cparty for jesus shoemaker . \u201d\na . no , we do not . we never have , and stated as such in the interviews for the documentary ( which never made it to the final cut of the film ) . we have very little to do with uganda as an organization ; we do not have missionaries in uganda and do not send a dollar of our budget to uganda . our primary mandate as an organization is prayer and humanitarian action ; it is not political . we are not involved in us politics , let alone politics in another nation . upon further investigation of the bill ( due to the making of this documentary ) , we would state that many of the provisions of the bill make it untenable in its current form , and we would oppose its passing .\nfour years ago , a bill was introduced in uganda ' s parliament that would criminalize same - sex relations . the anti - homosexuality bill has not yet become law , but it has drawn international attention to the animosity against gays in the african nation .\nbishop sonyonjo is the hero of the film , and of uganda , as far as i\u2019m concerned . are you close with him ? he comes with me to a lot of screenings . he gets standing ovations , as you can imagine . he\u2019s a hero . he was living in poverty because he lost his pension after taking his stance . he didn\u2019t have to take that stance . he had run the church of western uganda for 25 years and is married with ten kids . he said , \u201cpeople don\u2019t understand homosexuality , and i have to educate people . \u201d people would say , \u201chow could you give up everything for this cause ? \u201d he said he believed this was what god was telling him to do . the elton john aids foundation came to his rescue and gave him a grant , and he was able to start st . paul\u2019s center for reconciliation , which is the only church where lgbt people can go and pray .\nwriting on his facebook page , welby reflected on his time in sudan : ' i spent a brief time with the bishops of sudan hearing about their vision for their dioceses , ' he wrote . ' i reflected on how the word emmanuel means god with us . together with partners , we discussed how to help the church in sudan thrive by working with local churches , rather than doing things to or for them .\ncall me kuchu is a 2012 american documentary film directed by malika zouhali - worrall and katherine fairfax wright . the film explores the struggles of the lgbt community in uganda , [ 2 ] focusing in part on the 2011 murder of lgbt activist david kato . [ 2 ]\nsenyonjo was excommunicated by the archbishop of uganda in the early 2000s , but has continued his ministry and activism . he says there are times when he ' s been fearful for his life . in 2001 , he stayed in the u . s . for six months .\nthere ' s a history of not talking about sex . period . sex is not something talked about . the myth that scott lively brought to uganda is that homosexuality is a western import trying to recruit children . they believe it because it ' s coming from an american , and no one talks about it . it\u2019s kept in private . the good thing about the [ anti - gay ] bill in uganda and the [ anti - gay ] bill in nigeria that got passed is that now there\u2019s dialogue , is that now they\u2019re talking about it .\nthat ' s what ' s happening in uganda , where the parliament has been considering a\nkill the gays\nbill for several years . director roger ross williams ( director of the oscar - winning short music by prudence ) connects the dots between the virulent anti - gay politics in contemporary uganda and the u . s . churches that are exporting their fringe views to the country in the guise of charity and mission work .

[ 3 ]\nhe believes that powerful evangelical leaders have a larger agenda :\neveryone i ' ve talked to in my film has said , ' you know , look : america ' s lost . ' as marriage equality has passed , america is lost to them , but they are winning the war in uganda .\ndid it mess with you ? totally . oh , totally . it\u2019s so bizarre . i don\u2019t even know how i did it , looking back . i don\u2019t know how i did it . i was on some sort of mission , or i was driven . i don\u2019t know . there was a point where i was outed . someone sent an email . one of the missionaries who lived in uganda wrote a blog about me following her . the email said i was part of the gay agenda and that i should be\u2026 [ trails off . ] she sent it to all the anti - gay pastors in uganda .\npublisher\u2019s description : preaching prevention examines the controversial u . s . president\u2019s emergency plan for aids relief ( pepfar ) initiative to \u201cabstain and be faithful\u201d as a primary prevention strategy in africa . this ethnography of the born - again christians who led the new anti - aids push in uganda provides insight into both what it means for foreign governments to \u201cexport\u201d approaches to care and treatment and the ways communities respond to and repurpose such projects . by examining born - again christians\u2019 support of uganda\u2019s controversial 2009 anti - homosexuality bill , the book\u2019s final chapter explores the enduring tensions surrounding the message of personal accountability heralded by u . s . policy makers .\nwith nearly half its population under the age of 15 \u2014 a fertile source of unclaimed souls \u2014 uganda is particularly attractive to missionaries . but saving them comes with a price , as we learn from gospel messages liberally seasoned with antigay rhetoric and fundamentalist support for a bill that would institute the death penalty for repeat homosexual offenders .\namerican evangelicals have done a lot of great work ,\nwilliams tells all things considered weekend host arun rath .\nbut it ' s a certain type of fundamentalist evangelical ideology that came in there and basically instilled in a lot of the young people in uganda this message that biblical law is above any other law .\ndirector roger ross william\u2019s film is centered on uganda and the activities of the international house of prayer , a vehemently anti - gay church headquartered in kansas city . * the church preaches that homosexuality is a sin that can be resisted and even cured by prayer . according to the film , the church has helped to foment a new level of hatred and violence against gays in uganda . the film alleges , in fact , that the church , along with similar groups , led ugandan politicians to introduce a law ( the \u201ckill the gays\u201d bill ) that would make it a capital offense to be gay , and inspired the murder of david kato , a gay rights activist .\nuganda is the youngest population on the planet , with the median age being 15 . after idi amin , uganda was devastated because of hiv / aids and civil war . the parents were all killed . the evangelicals saw a vacuum and filled that vacuum . the founder of ihop told me that he was there the day idi amin fell in 1979 with a group of evangelical leaders from america . he said he was on the ground , bullets flying over his head , there to take the country as a christian nation . they went in there right at the beginning and said , \u201cthis is our chance to take an african country and rebuild it in our own image . \u201d\nthe film argues that conservative evangelical christian churches , aware of the declining trend of belief in america , are spreading out into africa , where they hope to foster an anti - gay fervor among the increasingly religious african population . a growing number of african countries , like uganda , have been reporting explosive growths in christianity , according to the film .\ni was very nervous , of course . they hadn ' t let any documentary crew in ever and they hadn ' t even let christian media in , very much . they were particular about letting me follow this group to uganda , afraid they\u2019d say the wrong things , they\u2019d embarrass them ! right before the trip , they changed their mind .\nas a gay man who grew up in a religious family , williams has had a lifelong desire to explore the power of religion to transform lives \u2013 or destroy them . one of the first people williams met on a research trip to uganda was david kato , an activist who would , sadly , become a victim of violence sparked by evangelical anti - gay ideology .\nthe variety critic concludes :\nwith little interest in attributing any social benefits or genuinely altruistic impulses to the missionary movement , williams allows local bishop christopher senyonjo to be the reasonable face of christianity in uganda , calling for an atmosphere of tolerance and mutual respect . it ' s an attitude the film outwardly endorses but doesn ' t entirely embody , as far as evangelicals are concerned .\nwilliams was in the right place at the right time . the evangelical movement fueled uganda\u2019s anti - homosexuality bill and religious fervor was peaking as missionaries preached their message of intolerance throughout the country . ugandan president yoweri museveni signed the bill into law in february . with its passage , williams says newspapers are publishing names and addresses of homosexuals , prompting a human rights crisis \u2013 and mob justice .\nback in the us , in the past few years , engle has been seen participating in efforts to elect extreme right wing politicians , dreaming up a scheme where 100 , 000 ex - gay preachers will help cure aids and even encouraging his followers to watch the avengers so they will learn how to fight demons , all while continuing to send waves of missionaries to uganda to carry his message of intolerance .\nuganda , a largely conservative christian nation , is currently facing intense international pressure to ensure that an anti - gay bill introduced in parliament does not make homosexuality punishable by death , as a previous version of the bill reportedly stipulated . mainstream american evangelical chrisitan pastor rick warren of saddleback church in calif . , has spoken out against the law , calling it\nunjust , extreme and un - christian toward homosexuals .\nwhat were you thinking as you sat there ? i was thinking , \u201cthis is crazy ! \u201d how am i now in this position where i can make a difference in people\u2019s lives ? i was thinking , don\u2019t let this moment go . i convinced him to come out with a statement in support of the decriminalization of homosexuality in uganda . i got him to work with me to do a series of video spots supporting lgbt equality , and he would also like to screen the film in uganda . he says people his age are kind of stuck in their ways and won\u2019t see the film , but young people will . he realized africa had to change in the same way america had to change 30 - 40 years ago . they\u2019re in that place , and they have to respect the rights of everyone . he said he\u2019d like to do it through my film .\nwhat i got from them was love and acceptance - - on their terms . people at ihop were constantly laying hands and praying for my salvation ; ihop believes in conversion therapy , with a department tending to \u201csexual brokenness .\njono hall told me he was an expert on working with the sexually broken . he told me this late one night in uganda . in their bookstore there were a couple shelves of books on ex - gays .\nafter introducing the memorable music by prudence to mountainfilm in 2009 , director roger ross williams returns with a different look at africa . uganda has received international attention for anti - homosexuality legislation proposed in parliament , which the media calls \u201ckill the gays bill . \u201d williams carefully reveals that this virulent legislation is systemically supported by american christian missionaries . the hatred leads to a predictable series of human rights violations but also brings about some heroes to stop the madness .\nfilmmaker ross williams was given extensive access to ihop leaders , including evangelist lou engle , who believes uganda has a special prophetic destiny . the documentary includes footage of engle at a rally with supporters of the infamous anti - homosexuality act , where he tells the crowd he was \u201ccalled\u201d to encourage the ugandan church for standing up for \u201crighteousness\u201d in the face of international pressure to drop the bill . ihop now says it has never supported the anti - gay law .\nis there progress being made in uganda right now ? with dr . bukenya onboard , we can actually make some real change in africa . we need african leaders who are reasonable to stand up against hatred . i think there\u2019s a lot happening on the ground . activists are doing a great job out there . they have great support from the international community , but it has to come from ugandans and faith leaders , because faith is the reason this bill exists .\ncharisma magazine\u2019s jennifer leclaire writes that ihop and lou engle are being \u201cfalsely accused of \u2018demonizing\u2019 homosexuals in uganda . \u201d ihop\u2019s response says that while it believes all sex outside of the marriage of one man and one woman is sinful , \u201cwe honor the dignity and rights of all whose opinion differs from ours\u201d and that ihop is \u201copen to civil dialogue and mutual respect . \u201d the filmmakers , says ihop , \u201cpursued a deceptive means to achieve a hateful , polarizing result . \u201d\n, this book investigates christian politics and discourses on homosexuality in sub - saharan africa . the contributors present case studies from various african countries , from nigeria to south africa and from cameroon to uganda , focusing on pentecostal , catholic and mainline protestant churches . they critically examine popular christian theologies that perpetuate homophobia and discrimination , but they also discuss contestations of such discourses and emerging alternative christian perspectives that contribute to the recognition of sexual diversity , social justice and human rights in contemporary africa .\nas the world ' s media goes into full gear over ukraine - russia standoff , we look at the timeline of events . uganda has now passed some of the worst anti - gay laws in the world . israel admits yet does not admit to destroying another weapons convoy heading to lebanon from syria . smaller parties in india unite to form an alternative to the big 2 in the upcoming election . boko haram militants attack a boarding school in eastern nigeria . this week ' s newz source is the poynter institute .\n: issues of homosexuality are the subject of public and political controversy in many african societies today . frequently , these controversies receive widespread attention both locally and globally , such as with the anti - homosexuality bill in uganda . in the international media , these cases tend to be presented as revealing a deeply - rooted homophobia in africa fuelled by religious and cultural traditions . but so far little energy is expended in understanding these controversies in all their complexity and the critical role religion plays in them . complementing the companion volume ,"]}

run movie house and is used for seminars and other purposes .\nthere isn ' t an awful lot of plot , there are the usual hokey misunderstandings and the presence of one of those secluded log cabins out in the middle of nowhere . lynn bari plays payne ' s singing sweetheart , while milton berle plays the band ' s agent . numbers include ' in the mood ' , ' it happened in sun valley ' and ' chattanooga choo choo ' .\nthe annual writers\u2019 conference is the premier literary event in the valley . if you love to read or write it\u2019s a \u201cmust see . \u201d the svm staff interviewed a few stars of last year\u2019s conference .\n( moviediva adds : sun valley serenade is one of those films made to showcase current hot performers with a bare wisp of a plot . the glenn miller orchestra performs several musical numbers so their legions of fans could see the band and assign faces to the sound they loved on records . the band becomes a major plot point when a petulant girl singer throws a fit at being drowned out by an audition band . . . fortunately the creamy smoothness of that miller tone will land them the job , instead . john payne is supposedly the piano player , swaying his big shouldered suit unconvincingly at the keyboard . and , he should have taken the hint early on about vivian dawn ' s irritable behavior .\nthe surprise comes right before the band is to travel to sun valley for a christmas gig . while on the ski slopes , ted soon falls for karen\u2019s schemes to win the heart of her new sponsor , much to the annoyance of his girlfriend , vivian dawn ( bari ) , a soloist with the band . vivian promptly quits the band out of jealousy , and karen stages an elaborate ice show as a substitute .\nthe future filmmakers forum showcases student - made films from the wood river valley , elsewhere in idaho and other parts of the united states . the program is intended to encourage students to consider filmmaking as a career .\nglenn miller had a very short career in films . this was his first and orchestra wives was his last before he went off on his ill - fated flight across the english channel . it ' s set in the famous idaho ski resort . the picture was said to be the brainchild of studio boss darryl f . zanuck , who had vacationed at sun valley and thought it might make a lovely setting . . . read more\nother great songs here include\nin the mood ,\nmoonlight serenade\nand\ni know why .\nmiller also recorded another new gordon - warren song that would eventually become an enormous hit ,\nat last ,\nbut zanuck decided to save it for his next glenn miller movie ,\nspecial performances make these films special . sun valley serenade features two figure skating sequences performed by three - time olympic gold - medal winner ( 1928 , 1932 , and 1936 ) henie . the first is pretty standard fare : as henie puts on her moves in an effort to impress ted , the crowd of \u201cregular\u201d skaters parts to give her center stage . the second performance is intentionally choreographed as part of the plot , with dozens of skating extras , and it occurs at night , on \u201cblack ice\u201d ( regular ice coated with a layer of black dye ) . the nighttime black ice effect is gorgeous , giving henie the look as if she is skating on a mirror . kudos to cinematographer edward cronjager for a flawless set - up and execution .\nwith a history of all - time classic movies having been shot here (\nhow to marry a millionaire\nstarring marilyn monroe , betty grable , and lauren bacall , for one ) , an idaho film - making revival underway , and a host of stars - in - occasional - residence ( clint eastwood , scott glenn , arnold schwarzenegger and bruce willis all reside in sun valley part time ) , cinema lovers are actually in their element here .\nas a master of ceremonies in vaudeville in the 1930 ' s ( heralded as the youngest m . c . ever to work b . f . keith ' s palace in new york ) , mr . berle developed his habit of getting into everyone ' s act . he become a headliner in broadway shows , including a 97 - week run in the ziegfeld follies . he made movies (\ntall , dark and handsome ,\nsun valley serenade\n) . and he did a lot of radio , everything from the fred allen show to\ncan you top this ?\nbut as he acknowledges during an interview in this documentary , his humor was too visual for a big success in radio . and then along came television and\ntexaco star theater .\n, meanwhile , wound up as probably her best picture . the story is essentially a romantic triangle between a big band pianist ( john payne ) , the band ' s singer ( lynn bari ) , and a norwegian war refugee ( henie ) , who all converge at sun valley when the band lands a job there . milton berle is on hand as the band ' s manager , and portraying the band is the glenn miller orchestra , complete with glenn miller himself as the bandleader .\n( 1941 ) had its genesis in a spontaneous brainstorm by darryl f . zanuck . the twentieth century - fox studio chief was on a winter vacation in sun valley , idaho , with one of his contract directors , bruce humberstone , and their wives . wouldn ' t this be a good setting , mused zanuck , for a sonja henie film ? and wouldn ' t humberstone like to move up from the\nb\nmovie world and direct it ? the answer to both questions was a clear\nyes .\npale rider ( 1985 ) . sun valley\u2019s most famous and iconic western . directed by clint eastwood and starring eastwood as the mysterious no - name drifter who rides into a small mining town to help local citizens michael moriarty and carrie snodgrass face up to the ruthless proprietor of a strip - mining company threatening their land and livelihood . shot on location in the boulder mountains , less than 20 minutes from director and star actor clint eastwood\u2019s home ( with a few scenes staged up over galena summit in the stanley basin ) .\nhenie , the famous norwegian figure skater who had won gold medals at the 1928 , 1932 and 1936 winter olympics , had become a big star for fox since signing with the studio . she was very popular , and her seven films so far had made lots of money . but as eager as zanuck was to build a movie around her in the winter resort town of sun valley , he was equally fed up with her difficult , temperamental nature , and was strongly considering not renewing her contract , which would end following this film .\ndespite being a native new englander , s . c . \u201csam\u201d gwynne has really made a name for himself as a texan . the award - winning journalist spoke about his pulitzer prize - nominated , historical book , empire of the summer moon : quanah parker and the rise and fall of the comanches , the most powerful indian tribe in american history to a packed sun valley pavilion last summer . gwynne jokingly entitled his talk about the brutal opening of the american west : \u201cconnecticut yankee too dumb to know any better stumbles upon old western frontier . \u201d\ndisney recorded fantasia in multi - track sound for actual theatrical exhibition , but the multi - track recordings of many 40 ' s movies were not originally intended to be used for anything but soundtrack editing of the final mono - soundtrack . several tracks were recorded from different miked areas to give different audio perspective for a given shot ' s point of view . this has allowed surviving multi - tracks to be remixed into stereo versions for more recent restorations or soundtrack reissues on cd . ( the stereo remixes on the soundtrack cd of meet me in st . louis that came out awhile back is a great example of this . ) . miller ' s recordings for orchestra wives and sun valley serenade do sound better than many of his original recordings due to better frequency range on 35mm soundtrack , though a lot of the broadcast transcription disc of miller ' s radio performances also sound better than his 78 ' s for the same reason , better frequency range on the larger 16 inch discs .\nhowever , make no mistake . not only was glenn miller in the right place at the right time , he had the chops to pull it off . watching these films and hearing miller\u2019s signature moonlight serenade , his hits like i know why , people like you and me , at last , and serenade in blue , plus his legendary numbers like in the mood , chattanooga choo choo , and i\u2019ve got a gal in kalamazoo ( the latter two of which are sung by tex beneke , a miller saxophonist with an unmistakably unique voice ) , is especially pleasing because not only are they all great songs , the arrangements are different than those you would hear on a typical \u201cgreatest hits\u201d compilation . this adds a nice freshness to them that , once you hear them , will certainly put you \u2026 in the mood .\n\u201ci absolutely love sun valley . i was lucky enough to make a movie here ( ' pale rider ' ) , and if i had my way i would hang out here all the time , \u201d he said . \u201cbut i guess i\u2019ll have to make another movie at some point since my last movie ( ' american sniper ' ) did fairly well . so much of this business is hard work and a lot of good luck . tonight i consider myself lucky to get to know you all . i can only wish you the best of luck to keep this great film festival going for many years to come . \u201d\njohn payne , sonja henie and milton berle star in this lighthearted romantic comedy that features the glenn miller orchestra as a struggling band named the dartmouth troubadours . the group is about to get it ' s big break at a posh sun valley ski resort , when the romance between singer vivian dawn ( lynn bari ) and piano player ted scott ( payne ) is shaken by a publicity stunt set up by band manager\nnifty\nallen ( berle ) .\nnifty\nhas arranged for ted to adopt a war refugee , and ted becomes responsible fore a beautiful norwegian ( henie ) who decides she wants to marry him !\nwas difficult . transportation of equipment to the town was long , complicated , and costly , and much of the equipment itself proved heavy and challenging to use in the snow and ice . worst of all , terrible weather led to constant disruptions . in fact , none of sonja henie ' s skiing or skating ended up being shot on location - - it was all filmed in the controlled environs of the fox studio lot . but even though the film had a high , $ 1 . 3 million final cost , zanuck didn ' t get too upset about the delays since he was using the location shoot as an excuse to frolic at sun valley with a french girlfriend .\nthe whole ' finders keepers ' team is very grateful for the two awards we received at the sun valley film festival . it was the first time that a film has won two awards at the festival , so you can imagine our shock and the honor of being called back up to the stage '\nsaid clay tweel .\nthe trip to idaho was my first time in the state and it was an amazing venue for a festival . i really appreciated how engaged and vocal the audiences were , especially at q & a ' s and some of the talks i attended . between the skiing and the great food at places like cristina ' s , i hope to come back in the future !\na great film from long ago . i have long been a glenn miller fan and was pleased to find out the my 8 and 10 year old kids love this film and the music also . sun valley was around 3 years old at the time of filming and watching the film really makes you yearn to be a part of the way things used to be . even immigration is covered as the band goes to ellis island to pick up the\nlittle\nrefugee . chattanooga choo choo was featured in the film and many not know that it was the very first gold record , the first million seller . a classic film i would recommend to all , young and old . kick back and listen to the way music used to be in the golden age .\nsheep , dogs and shepherds have been part of the northern rocky landscape for over 150 years . it is said that in 1918 idaho\u2019s sheep population was 2 . 65 million , nearly six times the state\u2019s human population . second only to sydney , australia , the wood river valley shipped thousands of lambs by railroad to markets around the west and was a major sheep center during that time .\nthough that industry has shrunk in recent years , sheepdogs are still an integral part of sheep ranching in the wood river valley . there are now two types of modern sheepdogs : guardian dogs which , in the wood river valley , are often great pyrenees ; and the border collie which , according to fourth - generation idaho sheep rancher john peavey , he couldn\u2019t run his operation without . the guardian\u2019s job is to protect the sheep from predators . as pups , they are put in a pen with the sheep where they become family . the dogs will typically bond to a particular ewe and even ride on the trucks with them . \u201cthe key to raising effective guard dogs is very little human attention , \u201d says peavey . \u201ctheir job is to bond with the sheep , not the shepherd . \u201d\nit ' s about a band that ' s stone broke and their publicity manager thinks that for the good of the press they should adopt a little refugee from another country and have pictures taken of them to show how kind the band is . well , when the time comes for them to meet the refugee , it turns out to be sonja henie ! they finally get a job in sun valley which at this time is covered by snow and ice . they plan to leave sonja at the publicity manager ' s aunt ' s house , but she wants to tag along . by the way , she was a refugee from norway , and she knows all about skiing and ice skating and everyone has a great time . surprising to me was that it is more a skiing movie than an ice skating movie , since sonja was an ice skater .\nsince he started as film critic for the chicago sun - times in 1967 , and began covering movies locally and at international film festivals , roger ebert has met and interviewed countless movie idols , artists and unknowns - - some of them even before they became famous . there ' s hardly a major figure in the history of movies , from the last part of the 20th century into the 21st , that he hasn ' t encountered .\nwhile the sun valley film festival in idaho is only in its fourth year , it ' s already proving to be a rising star in the festival landscape , attracting enthusiastic filmmakers and big hollywood heavyweights . this year , clint eastwood was honored with their inaugural lifetime vision award at an intimate dinner 6 , 000 feet up mt . baldy at the spectacular and historic roundhouse restaurant . eastwood is fond of the picturesque holiday spot that is renowned for being the first destination winter resort in the us . he filmed his 1985 western \u201c pale rider \u201d in the area , and spends a lot of time there . with his current box office smash \u201c american sniper \u201d now the biggest box office film of 2014 , taking over $ 341 million in domestic totals , the laconic 84 -

itis those sportswriter so frequently invoke . a fictional villain is created in a rival surfer , played by a perennially scowling sonya balmores , who ridicules and cheats bethany at every opportunity . the film uses a 2004 humanitarian aid trip to thailand by bethany following the devastating tsunami to give its heroine a sentimental shot in the arm to further motivate her to return to competitive surfing .\nyou wonder why this movie isn ' t a documentary , rather than a synthetic feature film with the heroine ' s arm digitally removed .\nalthough i may be a sucker for heartfelt true stories , this film truly represents the courage and inspiration that bethany hamilton had not only on her peers , but her inspiration across the entire nation . annasophia robb was a perfect choice as the lead star and the entire cast holds their own as well . this film definitely is filled with hollywood cheese and some of the dialogue might be pretty corny at times , but the story is told so beautifully that the cheesy lines actually sent chills down my spine . the acting may be average , but why does such a moving story need amazing acting , it hides everything and makes you love all the characters . soul surfer is an extremely powerful story and i would really like to call it a great film , but it is not quite that high , because the film revolves around the shark that bit off her arm , which was done kind of poorly in my opinion and nobody reacted the way they were supposed to . overall , this film is very good and i was moved !\n127 hours was nominated for six oscars ( including best picture and best actor for james franco ) , and several other awards , but only obtained a modest profit thanks to fox ' s mismanagement of the movie . soul surfer , on the other hand , received mixed reception from critics . additionally , while surfer earned much more than hours in the united states , it was invisible outside the states , resulting in a lower international box office than hours . hours is the victor in this one .\nin 2004 , bethany hamilton published her autobiography \u201c soul surfer : a true story of faith , family , and fighting to get back on the board , \u201d in which she tells the moving story of her triumphant return to competitive surfing . the book has since become a # 1 new york times bestseller and continues to inspire readers worldwide .\nno . the soul surfer true story reveals that malina birch is a fictional character . she was used to depict a variety of competitors bethany had encountered in her life . actress sonya balmores chung , who played malina , is not only friends with the real bethany hamilton but is also known for being first runner up in miss teen usa 2004 .\nfrom watching hamilton ( played by angelic tween annasophia robb ) endure the psychological and physical struggle of re - learning to slice an orange ( she uses her feet to stabilize the fruit ) to choking up as she catches her first wave with her family since the shark attack , her story is unquestionably moving . the guy sitting next to me , who reeked of whiskey and cigarettes ( at a soul surfer premiere ? c\u2019mon man ! ) , was wiping away tears the whole way through , which is why soul surfer might become the most successful surf film ever made : it\u2019s universally inspiring , and it sticks to an uncomplicated message of resilience and courage ( using blonds in bikinis and a katy perry soundtrack shouldn\u2019t hurt either ) . it\u2019s also based on a true story , which magnifies any allure the ocean already possesses over the uninitiated .\naccording to hamilton , director sean mcnamara also was integral in keeping faith a focus of the film , as it is in bethany\u2019s personal life .\nthe promise was financed by the late kirk kerkorian , who wanted to finally make a hollywood film about the armenian genocide ; the ottoman lieutenant was financed by the son of turkey ' s president erdogan and is seen by many as a film made to counter the promise with genocide denial .\nthe film was independently financed by enticing entertainment and island film group , and is a production of mandalay vision , brookwell mcnamara entertainment and life\u2019s a beach entertainment . north american and substantial international rights were acquired prior to the commencement of production by the affirm films division of sony pictures worldwide acquisitions .\nthe dust - up over soul surfer illuminates hollywood\u2019s increasingly awkward dance with the faith - based community . after years of neglecting religious audiences , studios now know that appealing to the christian - values set while also bringing in more secular crowds can lead to an across - the - board blockbuster like blind side ( domestic box office : $ 256 million ) .\ni like how the rottentomatoes consensus put it :\nthere ' s an amazing true story at the heart of soul surfer - - and unfortunately , it ' s drowned by waves of hollywood cheese .\nyup , with material like this , it ' s hard to go wrong , but boy , it was freaking cheesy . i found myself cringing a lot at the laughably and poorly written dialogue , the mediocre acting ( sorry carrie underwood , you ' re a devout christian and an excellent musician , which is all very inspiring , but acting ain ' t your thing ) , and the poor execution in storytelling .\nwhat ' s up , disney channel ?\nas a christian , i find myself cringing at the attempt to make an inspiring christian - themed movie , but surprisingly ,\nsoul surfer\nas a christian movie , wasn ' t that bad compared to the many other christian movies . let me tell you , there are some horrifyingly , awful christian movies out there . you ' ll be pleasantly welcomed by the b - movie feel\nsoul surfer\nhas . it ' s not preachy or pretentious ; deep down , there ' s a lot of purity and heart injected into this movie . there ' s a particular scene involving the bethany , the main protagonist , that effectively agitates the audience ' s emotions , all without a word being said . even the message was good - hearted , pure , and a relief , especially among a movie industry filled with dark and unsettling themes . surprisingly ,\nsoul surfer\nas a christian movie , manages to catch a couple of waves , but that ' s where it ends . the movie suffers from horrible pacing issues , mainly due to the fact that the incident that occurs , and the result afterwards are the only solid material\nsoul surfer\nhas for its narrative . the spaces in between are nothing more than fillers , and what dull fillers they are . the editing is sporadically all over the place , and the dialogue makes me shudder . phew , this is one big cheeseball . nevertheless , it ' s a good movie for children and is a surprisingly effective christian - themed film - - just don ' t take your film critique crew to watch this . there is an amazing true story at the heart of soul surfer - - and unfortunately , it ' s drowned by waves of hollywood cheese . . . to the max .\ndirector cary fukunaga\u2019s eventempered film gently turns the spotlight onto jane ; after all , it is her story . jamie bell , who danced his soul out in 2000\u2019s billy elliott , is excellent as the unbending young minister . i was moved at the end , but i will not tell you why . you have to see it for yourself .\nas in the soul surfer true story movie , in january 2004 she placed fifth in the open women ' s divison of the nssa regional competition . a year later , in 2005 , she won her first national title by placing first in the explorer women ' s division of the 2005 nssa national championships . she went pro in 2007 and still competes today .\nhowever , it appears as though the uplifting story hit a sour note with the film ' s producers where the family ' s christianity was concerned .\nbased on a great true story of bethany hamilton , whom we maintain is an excellent christian role model , soul surfer falls short of capturing the depth and meaning of the true story . realistic events obviously happen throughout , but we cannot help but think this movie would have been less realistic were it not bound by real life events . in the midst of hawaiian beaches , surfing lingo , wave scenery , and surfing competitions , the characters are left shallow and wooden . the audience cannot connect with them as real people\u2014they are just characters that are swept along by the plot . dialogue is stiff and procedural , leaving much to be desired . the plot ebbs and flows , sometimes hitting high points and missing them other times . the christian message is vague at first , then becomes very clear and meaningful , and then fades away again . the ending is interesting enough , but it just ends up washing away like the tide ( pun intended ) . the audience is left thinking that they should like the movie because it\u2019s a christian movie based on a true story , but soul surfer is actually quite forgettable and disappointing . true stories are usually undiscovered treasures when it comes to the big screen , but soul surfer is just another average film .\nto be honest , soul surfer gets off to an iffy start , full of cheesy shots of beachy fun in the sun . the characters , especially bethany ' s parents , seem one - dimensional and unrealistically saintly ; they just don\u2019t seem real . but the minute tragedy strikes - - and does it ever - - the movie finds its footing . it roots its way into your conscience with its determined ( but not pushy ) message about digging into your soul - - could that be the reason for the title ? - - for the wherewithal to continue .\nwhile the pg - rated flick was bound to include a few clich\u00e9s , i honestly think soul surfer did an admirable job honoring a young professional surfer\u2019s unlikely story . aside from the fact that there are enough rip curl logos to fill a decade\u2019s worth of catalogs ( a rip curl rash guard actually saves bethany\u2019s life : the ultimate case of product placement or meticulous attention to accuracy ? you decide\u2026 ) and the film portrays the hamilton family\u2019s relationship with the ocean ( and each other ) with disneyish simplicity , its realism should satisfy the target demographic . more important , it provides a window into some of the intimate moments of bethany\u2019s recovery from the shark attack of oct . 31 , 2003 .\nhours , from danny boyle , focuses on aron ralston , a hiker who is forced to cut off his own arm to save himself after five days of having his arm trapped by a boulder . surfer , from sean mcnamara ( the director of bratz ) , focuses on bethany hamilton , an evangelical christian surfer who loses an arm from a shark attack . the main difference between these two films is their intended audience : while hours aims for a secular / mainstream audience , surfer is intended for the christian market .\n9 ) if you ' re still not convinced about soul surfer , don ' t forget that it contains a scene where a woman who once won american idol hamfistedly emotes at an amputee in a vaguely religious way . surely that ' s a dealbreaker , isn ' t it ? isn ' t it ? anyone ? honestly , you people are impossible to please sometimes .\nsoul surfer reveals bethany\u2019s fight to recover from her ordeal and how she grappled with the question of her future . strengthened by the love of her parents , tom ( dennis quaid ) and cheri ( helen hunt ) , and supported by her youth group leader sara ( carrie underwood ) , bethany refuses to give in or give up , and begins a bold return to the water .\nthe film also includes kauaian actress sonya balmores chung , who plays malina birch , a competitive foil to hamilton\u2019s unimpeachable kindness . for all intents and purposes , birch is a heartless saboteur , and although hamilton asserts that her character is entirely fictionalized , a young female surfer might have some bad karma coming her way if that\u2019s not the case ."]}

very deep , sharply limned images , he believed , would more nearly approximate what the eye sees in real life than the shallower , shifting focus normally used . and he explained that the lighting of interiors would be more realistic if it were done mostly from the floor instead of from the rafters high above where ceilings should be . the sets therefore should have full ceilings . it was customary at the time to use matte paintings when it was necessary to show ceilings , with the lighting coming with seeming impossibility from higher up . toland ' s ceilings were made of muslin so they wouldn ' t interfere with sound recording and the microphones were boomed above the ceilings , which allowed them to be placed closer to the actors for better dialogue reproduction and avoided the danger of mike shadows getting into camera range . ' the long voyage home ' was too downbeat to be popular with the public , but lovers of photography were enchanted .\nfinally , on february 20 , 1503 , da gama and his crew began to make their way home . they reached portugal on october 11 of that year .\nin toland ' s early work , in films such as ' les mis\u00e9rables ' , ' dead end ' , ' wuthering heights ' , ' intermezzo ' , ' the grapes of wrath ' , and ' the long voyage home ' , he consciously rejected the soft focus , one - plane depth of the established hollywood house style and strove for a more jarring , razor - sharp black - and - white , employing recent advances in photography that included the use of high - powered technicolor arc lamps for black - and - white productions , super xx film stock [ a 1938 kodak stock four times faster than its previous stock without any increase in graininess ] , lens coating [ to cut down on glare ] and self - blimped cameras [ permitting filming in confined spaces ] .

fibered motion picture which tells with lean economy the never - ending story of man ' s wanderings over the waters of the world in search of peace for his soul . it is not a tranquilizing film , this one which walter wanger presented at the rivoli theatre last night ; it is harsh and relentless and only briefly compassionate in its revelation of man ' s pathetic shortcomings . but it is one of the most honest pictures ever placed upon the screen ; it gives a penetrating glimpse into the hearts of little men and , because it shows that out of human weakness there proceeds some nobility , it is far more gratifying than the fanciest hero - worshiping fare .\none of the many surprises in the dutch scholar hans bak\u2019s generous selection of cowley\u2019s letters , the long voyage ( very long , at eight hundred pages , though representing only a fraction of cowley\u2019s epistolary output ) , is how seriously cowley , a poet and critic best known for his championing of lonely american eccentrics from hawthorne and whitman to kerouac and ken kesey , embraced movements such as dada and its exotic outgrowth of surrealism , before committing himself to communism . \u201cthe communist adventure itself is one of surrealism\u2019s unlikeliest non -

act plays about the sea , bound east for cardiff , the long voyage home , the zone , and moon of the caribees , into this melancholy film about wayfaring seamen , changing the setting from the turn of the century to wwii . this was o ' neill ' s favorite of the films based on his work , and he watched it often enough to eventually wear out his print . after a night of revelry in the west indies , the crew of the ss glencairn return to the tramp steamer and set sail for baltimore . they ' re a varied lot , from middle - aged irishman driscoll ( thomas mitchell ) , to the young swedish ex - farmer ole olsen ( john wayne ) , to the brooding lord jim - like englishman smitty ( ian hunter ) . after the ship picks up a load of dynamite in baltimore , the rough seas they encounter become especially nerve -

muscled pal of the irishman , driscoll , dies at sea , but even in death he dreams of the land . smitty , the outcast aristocrat , goes to his doom with a defiant gesture at the world which has overpowered him . driscoll is lost to another ship , and the remaining members of the glencairn ' s crew\u2014with the exception of olson , who does go home\u2014creep back to sea after a spree in london . in the end , they are mother carey ' s chickens , and the only home they can ever know is the restless deep .\nambitious , exciting and memorable , the voyage home , being the fourth installment further the increasing quality in storytelling in the series , and is another good sequel that is directed yet again by actor leonard nimoy . nimoy ' s direction is terrific and bring some much needed depth to the plot that makes it that much more enjoyable . there are hints of humor strewn throughout the film , and it complements the thrills and action perfectly . there are plenty of improvements in this entry , most notably the film ' s special effects and more layed back tone . i feel that the filmmakers were much more confident with this release , and it shows on - screen . the story is good , and the cast deliver some good performances . i really was surprised by this one , and like i said , it ' s an entertaining science fiction picture worth seeing , and it ' s a well crafted affair that is sure to delight fans . nimoy does impressive behind the camera , and he helped make two outstanding films in the film adaptations of the classic tv show . it ' s rare for a fourth film in a series to be entertaining , but in the case of the voyage home , it ' s a highly engaging film going experience that manages to be amusing for a good two hours of entertainment . there are aspects that could have been improved upon , but overall , it ' s a solid sequel worth seeing and it ' s one that stands out among the franchise ' s very best films . this is a different type of star trek film , and it works well on many levels . with good performances , a well thought out story , and good direction , the voyage home continues the quality of good films in the series . this is one of the better movies i ' ve seen , and though a bit different , is a refreshing idea that is thoroughly engaging .\nthe hyperbole means that hardly any rainbow in the sky could reach the same height as the span of the arches of the aqueducts . burman suggested that\nthey ' re also concerned that smitty might be a german spy because he ' s secretive . after they force smitty to show them his letters from home it turns out that smitty is an alcoholic who has run away from his family . when they near port , a german plane attacks the ship , killing smitty in a burst of machine gun fire . the rest of the crew members decide not to sign on for another voyage on the glencairn and go ashore , determined to help ole return to his family in sweden , whom he has not seen in ten years .\nthe sox , who had looked to be in such danger during their high -

forward story teller . he doesn\u2019t play with the camera very often , moving it just to move it . on the other hand , he has some of the most memorable shots in cinema \u2013 mostly of the southwest ; here , though , he has the immensely talented gregg toland shooting in the shadows of a grimy old ship and making use of deep - focus to give the film a melancholy , almost claustrophobic feel .\nin the past four years , we have also encountered grave challenges . as a chinese saying goes , nothing in the world is difficult , as long as you put your heart into it . even the himalaya mountains can be climbed and the baltic sea can be crossed . china - sweden relations have weathered the test of times and rolled on with constant progress .\n( 1940 ) . nonetheless , the film received seven academy award nominations : best picture , best screenplay , best black and white cinematography , best editing , best score , best sound and best visual effects . ford was so proud of the film that he displayed stills from it on the walls of his home .\nchecks our weary course , though phoebus scarce had reached his mid career . that day it happened merry village -

( the only purpose this serves is to pad out the already long running time . ) and when we first see thamizh , it\u2019s as a face on a missing - person poster . we expect some procedural effort in his being found , through this journalist\u2019s actions , but his discovery is casually accidental \u2014 and that\u2019s how much of the film is . the geography is never clear and we\u2019re often left wondering how this person ended up there , how that person made it here .\nalthough the version of the story that we see in the film today is more closely associated with nicholson\u2019s alleged reading , suggesting that forman ultimately took his advice , nicholson refused to interact with his director from that point forward . when the star and forman needed to communicate with one another , they used cinematographer bill butler as a middleman .\ninitially , forman was vocally opposed to including a scene that took place beyond the grounds of the hospital out of concerns that a temporary liberation would undercut the dramatic force of the film\u2019s ending . in the end , zaentz convinced forman to shoot the fishing trip sequence . it was the final scene filmed and the only piece shot out of chronological order .\ncuckoo is a different breed of sitcom . actually set in lichfield , staffordshire , and mostly shot at wimbledon studios , series one broke the channel\u2019s record for most - watched comedy launch when it premiered in september 2012 to 1 . 15 million people , a feat unhindered by its american star andy samberg . he played the titular far - out , workshy hippy dipstick whom the thompsons\u2019 daughter rachel brings home from her gap year after marrying him on a thai beach .\nthe poster child for the \u201cthe book was better\u201d movement , one flew over the cuckoo\u2019s nest author kesey disapproved of a big screen adaptation of his novel as soon as he found out that the filmmakers had abandoned the use of chief bromden as the story\u2019s narrator . kesey never intended to see the movie , but one story says he inadvertently caught a few moments during a bout of channel surfing one evening . once kesey realized what he was watching , he promptly changed stations .\na film auteur is often described as having a characteristic tone , an attitude , and recurring themes . but we also find more tangible marks of authorship . one is a tendency to create distinctive story worlds . hawks gives us milieus filled with stoic , sometimes grimly resigned professionals . scorsese presents manic , sometimes vicious worlds that encourage his protagonists to go too far .\nparts of the story are relayed by a gnome - like narrator whose range of knowledge includes past , present , and future . he suggests a fairy - tale wizard or bard . an ancillary film tells us that he\u2019s the librarian of new penzance\u2014the tribal chronicler as small - town administrator . ( the existence of this short film serves to reinforce the pretense that new penzance exists . ) then there are the young - adult books that suzy carries with her . they\u2019re fictitious but they get strongly tagged to aspects of the action . the books and the scouting gear take on the same solidity as retro details like suzy\u2019s battery - powered phonograph and sam\u2019s jar of tang : 1965 stuff is recruited to flesh out anderson\u2019s miniature world .\nchildhood is everywhere . the music we hear in the opening is britten\u2019s young person\u2019s guide to the orchestra , played by three little brothers on a phonograph and narrated by a child for one of leonard bernstein\u2019s young people\u2019s concerts . throughout the film we hear grownup music designed for kids , such as bits of bernstein\u2019s rendition of saint - saens\u2019 carnival of the animals .\nanderson\u2019s use of such imagery evokes silent - film comedy , especially the compositions of keaton , but these shots also suit a fairy - tale world . the stylized naivete of these compositions recalls children\u2019s drawings , which tend to spread figures out against a flat background . ( this was prefigured in the squashed perspective of the bishop house as portrayed in the fabric picture . )\nwhen kirk douglas spearheaded the first attempt to bring one flew over the cuckoo\u2019s nest to life on the big screen in the 1960s , he had intended to play the randle patrick mcmurphy role himself , just as he had on stage . when production began in earnest 10 years later , douglas was too old for the part , leaving director forman to consider and contact the likes of gene hackman , marlon brando , and ( his personal favorite ) burt reynolds before finally settling on jack nicholson .\nthe submitted features , listed in alphabetical order , are : \u201cbig hero 6\u201d \u201cthe book of life\u201d \u201cthe boxtrolls\u201d \u201ccheatin\u2019\u201d \u201cgiovanni\u2019s island\u201d \u201chenry & me\u201d \u201cthe hero of color city\u201d \u201chow to train your dragon 2\u201d \u201cjack and the cuckoo -

indian narrator of one flew over the cuckoo\u2019s nest , has been a patient in an oregon psychiatric hospital for ten years . his paranoia is evident from the first lines of the book , and he suffers from hallucinations and delusions . bromden\u2019s worldview is dominated by his fear of what he calls the combine , a huge conglomeration that controls society and forces people into conformity . bromden pretends to be deaf and dumb and tries to go unnoticed , even though he is six feet seven inches tall .\nthey stride confidently . they inhabit crowded railway stations , and in trains , they stand near the exit , the way brash college kids do . and they have friends ( the actors playing ilango and sangeetha give lovely performances ) who are either blind or who don\u2019t treat them as if they are blind . these people are nicely drawn , infusing the film with colours that thamizh and sudhandhira kodi cannot see .\nspielberg got his start directing for tv at the age of 21 , helming episodes of such shows as night gallery and marcus welby , m . d . but the aspiring filmmaker was desperately searching for a property he could turn into a feature film . it was spielberg ' s secretary , nona tyson , who found matheson\u2019s story in playboy and first sent it to her boss to potentially adapt into a movie .\nto complete this realistic immersion , forman led his performers in unscripted group therapy sessions in which he directed the actors to develop their characters\u2019 psychological maladies organically . he would often capture footage of the actors , both in and out of character , without explicitly mentioning that the cameras were rolling . the film\u2019s final cut includes a shot of a visibly irritated fletcher reacting to a piece of direction fed to her by forman .\nas for sounds , the director leans on ilaiyaraaja . for a while now , it\u2019s been depressing to see how the maestro\u2019s music has been reduced to a lazy prop , a good - luck totem , or a cheap punch line \u2014 the worst offender being the recent film ( so memorable that the name slips me now ) whose soundtrack burst into \u2018sundari neeyum\u2019 when a sleazy boss set eyes on his curvy malayali secretary .\nthe idea was supposed to be that he is taken in by god - like entities , creatures of pure energy and intelligence with no shape or form . they put him in what i suppose you could describe as a human zoo to study him , and his whole life passes from that point on in that room . and he has no sense of time . it just seems to happen as it does in the film .\nthe film ' s english - language title comes from a piece by duke ellington , who was godfather to vian\u2019s daughter , carole . the whole story strives for the light , sweet but ultimately melancholy tone of ellington ' s tune , which is used more than once here ; but that tone is at odds with the satire , which gets smothered by the moon - sized marshmallow of gondry ' s gallic cuteness . when a film keeps telling you , over and over , inadvertently or on purpose ,\nnone of this matters ,\nyou start to believe it . if the movie had been ten or 20 minutes long , you might be inclined to forgive its other failures , but it runs nearly 100 minutes ( 130 in europe , i ' m told ) . it wants to tickle your fancy and break your heart , but mostly it wears you out ."]}

range performance of the motorcycle clearly makes this motorcycle a perfect tool for flickering in traffic , however , with a limited high performance with a top speed of just 87 kmph , you will wish to have more power on straight stretches . the upside to it , however , is the outstanding fuel efficiency .\nsong : thrikkaakkara poo poraanjo . . . from film : line bus ( 1971 )\nsong : paurnami chandrika thottu vilichu . . . from film : rest house ( 1969 )\nsong : seemantha rekhayil . . . . from film : aseervaadam ( 1977 )\nsong : kizhakke malayile . . . from film : loraa nee evide ( 1971 ) -

mamooty . but acting wise both did well for their characters . .\npasinu yaravadhu vandha ettana kudupiya . . avan kudupaan . . . kaila irukuradhu ellathayum kodupan\nwe ( max ) allways support anything good from rajini and his movies . the same is true for rajini fans too . . not only the fans , both rajini and kamal support each other very well . that is one of the reason these two stars are holding the top 2 ranks , for allmost 25 years .\nboth rk and mammootty were simply mindblowing and did perfect justice to their roles . if rk had to do a deva and mm had to do a surya the movie would have bombed badly and thats where mr wins ! !\nfrom : m _ 23 _ bayarea on thu sep 14 17 : 43 : 46 2006 .\nthalapathi is one of rajini ' s best movies without a doubt both rk and mammootty were simply mindblowing and did perfect justice to their roles . if rk had to do a deva and mm had to do a surya the movie would have bombed badly and thats where mr wins ! !\nyou never know ! ! ! human tendency is always to consider something real more superior to something that is imaginary . . . . thalapathy is one of my fav thalaivar movies , without an iota of doubt ! ! i ' m just curious to know the intent with which this thread was created ! ! what ' s the point ? ?\nthalapathi is surely one of the best movies of ss . . when thalapathi and guna released together on a deepavali day , in trichy , for the first time both ss and kamal fans jointly put posters wishing both movies . . being a kamal fan i tried to watch guna first , but couldn ' t get tickets , but one of my friends managed to get tickets for thalapathi from spl source . . i watched thalapathi and really liked it ( even though the story reminds karnan and chinna thaaiyaval song sequence resembles deiva magan ) . since i am a fan of ir and mamooty , added with rajini ' s much suitable role , the movie really rock ! next day i watched guna and stunned . . what amazed me is ir ' s power . both movies carried awesome music from genius . . not to mention . . kamal made me to watch this movie again and again . . i lost the count .\nfrom : raaja _ rasigan on tue sep 19 11 : 50 : 32 2006 .\nfrom : m _ 23 _

[ 1 ] because of this , most triggermen appear to operate with a code of honor , for example , skinny malone refuses to kill nick valentine because of the\nold times\n, when they fought with each other in the past . they can often be seen in the company of raiders and other such unscrupulous characters , running enterprises such as the robot racetrack at easy city downs .\naltogether , live wire is an assembly of multiple genre\u2019s \u2014 an execution of a new age take on hip - hop . the triggermen use austin - esque prestige and swagger to draw a novel map of the future of rap . the album is light - hearted , centered around boogie and a working example of creativity .\naustin\u2019s hip - hop and rap scene has recently faced a deflation in the production of quality content . the self - fulfilling prophecy that falsely promises music consumers that \u201ceveryone is a rapper , \u201d has driven the genre out of the city . thankfully , the triggermen have taken this fallacy into their own hands and created a multi - faceted , incredibly unique take on modern hip - hop .\ntriggermen generally live outside society , establishing secret bases where they undertake their questionable activities . one example is marowski ' s chem lab , which is hidden deep in an abandoned fishpacking plant , and is where marowski ' s gang create chems to smuggle into diamond city and other settlements . some triggerman gangs maintain a limited presence in larger settlements , however ; goodneighbor in particular is a haven for such groups .\njohn bradshaw ' s crime comedy triggermen begins when a pair of professional killers ( michael rapaport and donnie wahlberg ) are hired to execute one of the major figures in organized crime ( pete postlethwaite ) . soon the pair are mistaken with a pair of british conmen ( neil morrissey and adrian dunbar ) . when the money they were promised for completing the task turns up missing , the duo has a remarkably difficult time tracking it down . ~ perry seibert , rovi\none of the dubious treats of being a film reviewer , it is said , is going to see a movie which can surpass even your most negative expectations . and any movie which bills itself as ' a comedic thriller in the style of lock , stock and two smoking barrels and pulp fiction ' and features a starring role from neil morrissey should really be approached with nothing less than extreme caution . and even then that ' s probably affording ' triggermen ' too much respect .\na film moored in more narrative conveniences than a season ' s worth of ' eastenders ' , ' triggermen ' is one of those hopeless juvenile , depressingly formulaic brit comedies which owes its very existence to guy ritchie . a stuttering mess , the film never does anything particularly interesting with its second - hand premise and there ' s no sense of conviction about it . the best that can be said for the acting ? stick to the b ' n ' q ads , morrissey .\nthe album , live wire incorporates inspiration from hip - hops most prominent era : the 90s . the album relies on scratch djing and quirky vocal samples , a radiating musical conglomeration . the triggermen capitalize on an already popular style of hip - hop and rap by cultivating hyped , electronic samples into the tracks . the album is perfect for a house party or an early morning when you need to brush off your comatose state of existence . the album is undoubtedly , and simply , happy .\nthis particular crime scene is on a sweaty december evening in culiac\u00e1n , sinaloa . the state policemen had hit a red stop light next to a shopping center when the triggermen attacked . bang . bang . bang . the assassins shoot from the side and back unleashing bullets in split seconds . a customized kalashnikov with a circular clip can unload 100 rounds in 10 seconds . this is lightning war . people tend to shudder at the fact that mexican gangsters have rocket - propelled grenades . but the ak - 47 is far more lethal .\nnot content just to be status ailment triggermen , synergists and saboteurs also have the ability to remove those ailments . most effects can be canceled out by their opposite ; casting debrave on an enemy buffed with bravery or slow on an enemy buffed with haste will erase the effect . the system works both ways as well : synergists can simulate the ailment - clearing effect of esuna by casting a buff opposite the applied debuff . you\u2019ll often utilize the ability involuntarily through natural use of the roles , but it\u2019s good to have in a pinch .\nsubscribe to trailers : urltoken subscribe to coming soon : urltoken subscribe to classic trailers : urltoken like us on facebook : urltoken follow us on twitter : urltoken triggermen ( 2002 ) official trailer # 1 - pete postlethwaite hd one of two deadly hired kilers switches places with one of a duo of conmen in order to pursue love . cast : pete postlethwaite : urltoken saul rubinek : urltoken amanda plummer : urltoken claire forlani : urltoken director : john bradshaw producer : daniel baldwin ren\u00e9e webster gerhard schmidt sabine de mardt cyril drabinsky klaus rettig tony johnston paul weber john gillespie michael zannella deborah kiss kim hogan h . w . pausch h . michael heuser mark thomas writer : tony johnston mark thomas editor : lisa grootenboer cinematographer : barry stone composer : terence gowan blair packham\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nthis distressingly inane story follows two small time crooks , pete ( morrissey ) and his mate andy ( dunbar ) , who are stuck in chicago without a clue . one case of mistaken identity later and the cheeky chappies are in possession of a briefcase full of wonga and the keys to a swish hotel room . this being a comedy / caper / mob movie , it ' s inevitable that the lads have to be mistaken for hitmen by a crime boss ( di bianco ) , intent on starting a turf war . more nonsense comes in the shape of the two real hit men terry and tommy ( wahlberg and rapaport ) , also staying in the same hotel and awaiting their instructions . and if any more complication was needed , it is thrown up when terry falls for emma ( forlani ) whose father is - oh yes ! - the hit men ' s real target ( postlethwaite )\nwhen connecting your facebook account to urltoken to comment , we need to obtain permission to collect your associated facebook name , email address and ip address .\ncomments on urltoken are moderated . if a comment breaks our house rules we may need to remove a comment or block a user from commenting in the future . we need this account information to provide this service .\n15 years on . . . pirates of the caribbean : the . . .\n\u00a9 2018 packed house ltd . , 3rd floor , castleforbes house , castleforbes road , dublin 1 | web development by fusio\ncan ' t find a community you love ?

eu candidate , has refused to say the word\ngenocide\nin connection with srebrenica .\nserbians think that what happened there 20 years ago was definitely a massacre and a war crime , but never could it amount to genocide ,\nsaid filip svarm , of the critical weekly\nvreme .\nacross party lines , svarm said , there has yet to be a serbian politician that would take the risk of calling the thousands of murders that happened in srebrenica an instance of genocide .\nonly following intense pressure from the eu , which many in serbia would like to join , were two leading figures arrested in connection with the massacre . former president radovan karadzic spent a year living in downtown belgrade , even actively working as a physician . general ratko mladic was found in a village in northern serbia . it is widely believed that the two suspects were aided by serbian security forces in their attempts to escape being sent to the court in the hague to stand trial . their arrests , in 2008 and 2011 , respectively , ignited fierce protests in serbian nationalist circles .\nbarely any of that sentiment is left in present - day serbia . vucic has even said publicly that he is prepared to bow before the\ninnocent victims\nof srebrenica . however , the strongman politician only confirmed that he would take part in a remembrance ceremony at the site of the massacre on tuesday at around midnight . at the same time , his administration clearly rejected a british - proposed un resolution that would condemn the massacre with clear language as genocide . belgrade sought - and received - help from moscow . russia vetoed a proposal in the un security council that would have labeled the srebrenica massacre a genocide .\nno serbian politician can afford to be seen at the remembrance ceremony ,\nsaid nenad uzelac , a political science student at belgrade university . he started a petition that was ultimately signed by hundreds of his fellow students in serbia and bosnia . uzelac said all serbians will be seen as murderers if their leaders recognize what happen in srebrenica as genocide . his argumentation against the use of that term also concerns the fact that women , children the elderly weren ' t executed .\nserbia ' s inability to escape the past doesn ' t come as a surprise to writer and blogger vladimir tabasevic , who argued that both sides use srebrenica as a way to avoid the pressing problems in serbian society .\nthe serbians are seen as the people responsible , and the bosnian muslims the victims . politicians have constructed a fake national antagonism in order to forget that people have to work and feed themselves ,\nhe said .\nhowever , many other activists have claimed serbia will never be able to look to the future without actively revisiting the horrors of its past . journalist dusan masic caused a storm when he called on citizens in belgrade to lie down in front of serbian parliament - to recall the coffins and corpses of the srebrenica victims - on the anniversary on july 11 .\nmasic also called on serbian politicians to take part . a few opposition figures have reportedly expressed their willingness to participate . if the reaction of the interior minister nebojsa stefanovic is anything to go by , it ' s clear that serbia ' s governing officials will have nothing to do with the action .\na very dubious idea indeed ,\nwas how stefanovic termed the planned protest .\nrussia has vetoed a un resolution recognizing the srebrenica massacre as genocide , claiming it would have created divisions in the balkans . britain , which put forward the resolution , condemned the move as outrageous . ( 08 . 07 . 2015 )\nserbian prime minister aleksandar vucic has agreed to attend a commemoration of the 1995 srebrenica massacre . the decision came after the un postponed a vote on a resolution declaring that the killings were genocide .

they are a\nmovement and an industry drawing in hundreds of thousands from bullet - ridden barrios to marijuana - growing mountains\n. the book explains how the cartels have created\nmay be south of the u . s . border , grillo pinpoints that the united states\nis knee - deep in this conflict\n.\nin the british edition , published in september 2011 , the book bore the subtitle ,\nthe bloody rise of mexican drug cartels\n. the us edition came out two months later , bearing a different subtitle . a spanish - language version of the book titled\nel narco : en el coraz\u00f3n de la insurgencia criminal mexicana\nhas also been released .\n, where he has witnessed military operations , mafia killings , and drug seizures in his work .\n\u2014famous for its pink candy , pebble beaches , colleges and bubbling night clubs .\n. and according to the author , few people there realize where the substances they are intaking come from or what they might give or takeaway from those countries .\nfor over a decade , grillo has followed the end - less murder scenes in\nbullet - ridden streets , mountains where drugs are born as pretty flowers , and scarred criminals from prison cells to luxury condos\n.\ngrillo has discussed the drug war with two mexican presidents , three attorneys general and a u . s . ambassador , among others .\ntwenty seconds of shooting . four hundred and thirty - two bullets . five dead policemen .\nfour of the corpses sprawl over a shiny - new dodge ram pickup truck that has been pierced by so many caps it resembles a cheese grater . the cadavers are twisted and contorted in the unnatural poses of the dead ; arms arch backward over spines , legs spread out sideways ; the pattern of bodies that fall like rag dolls when bullets strike .\nafter arriving at too many murder scenes , i often felt numb staring at the lead - filled flesh spread out on the concrete , dirt roads and car seats . the images all blur into one . but then little details come back : the twists of elbows over backs , heads over shoulders . it is these patterns that come into my mind when i think about the murder scenes ; and these patterns then filter into bad dreams when i am sleeping in a bed a thousand miles away .\nmagazine published on 23 october 2011 . it is the confession of a cartel member that is imprisoned :\nit may have been vivid and raw . but it felt somehow surreal , like gonzalo was watching these terrible acts from above . like it was someone else who had firefights with ski - masked federal police in broad daylight . someone else who stormed into homes and dragged away men from crying wives and mothers . someone else who duct - taped victims to chairs and starved and beat them for days . someone else who clasped a machete and began to hack off their craniums while they were still living . but it was all real .\nhe was a different man when he did those things , gonzalo tells me . he had smoked crack cocaine and drunk whisky every day , had enjoyed power in a country where the poor are so powerless , had a latest model truck and could pay for houses in cash , had four wives and children scattered all over . . . had no god .\nin those days , i had no fear . i felt nothing . i had no compassion for anybody ,\nhe says , speaking slowly , swallowing some words .\nalongside other veterans , daniel would buzz around the state in a helicopter carrying an m16 automatic rifle and raiding marijuana plantations . most were run by mexicans and located inside national parks and forests and included some huge farms with up to twelve thousand plants . during one bust , some thugs from michoac\u00e1n fired at them with kalashnikovs .\ni was getting close to the plantation and they fired . we hit the ground first , kneeling down and we fired back , and they were gone . these people have balls , they are crazy .\ndaniel ' s next job was in the u . s . customs service busting runners as they came over the border . because of the huge quantity of traffic at tijuana - san diego , agents can only toss a tiny percentage of vehicles . so the key for daniel and other agents was to try to read people and smell who was dirty . daniel found he had a special talent for spotting smugglers .\nit is like a sense . i look at them and see if the person that is driving does not match the car or the car does not match the person . i get close up to their face and say , ' how are you doing ? ' and if you ' re carrying a bunch of money or drugs , i ' m going to get all over your ass .\nis a\ntough , straightforward , kick - in - the - nuts reportage by a man who is determined to ignore all the ideological gibberish and see for himself what ' s really going on in mexico\n.\nis also a\nreally ugly book full of really ugly facts related by a terse , insightful writer who knows how to shape a powerful and compelling story into a powerful and compelling argument\n.\nsaid that grillo is one of those authors that\ndoes not forget\nthe newspaper headlines in mexico ' s drug war that often\nfeel unreal\nand go\nbeyond comprehension\n.\nhe is also an author who\ntakes the advantage\nof his sources to provide insight for the drug war from\nnearly every angle\n, from america ' s attempts to stifle drug trafficking to a nation ' s history and drug culture .\nstated that grillo\ntraces the beast ' s footprints with meticulous research\nand with\ncourageous reporting on some of [ mexico ' s ] meanest streets\n.\nsaid that grillo\ngoes much , much deeper\nin reporting the\ncrazy death spiral of drug violence\nin mexico ' s drug war . but most importantly , booth mentioned that\nbookstore chains commented that the book is a\npropulsive account of the blood - soaked machinery of ' el narco , ' the shadowy complex of drug cartels , street gangs , and paramilitary death squads that have littered mexican streets with bodies and ak - 47 shells\n.\ngrillo also explains how the violence is traced back to the vacuum left by the demise of the institutional revolutionary party ' s ( pri ) single - party rule\nbut delicately balanced system of corruption , painting a grim portrait of the corrupt police , soldiers , and officials who , figuring they can ' t beat the crime , make a tidy fortune by joining it\n.\nmagazine noted that grillo\nexplores that world as deeply as few journalists have dared ;\nnonetheless , padgett said that the historical context of the book not only indicts\nmexican and latin american politicos but u . s . policymakers as well\n.\n, while noting that the book was a\npropulsive account of the blood - soaked machinery\n, concluded that grillo pinpoints that\namerica ' s hard - line rhetoric has failed .\nthe magazine stated that grillo ' s book can be as\nperceptive as his high - octane reportage\n. the\nis\nriveting , authoritative reporting from the front lines of the mexican drug wars\n. it argued that the book shows how the mexican drug war has\nexplosive potential consequences for every american , and ioan grillo ' s book shows you why\n.\nis an essential reading for those wishing to understand\nhow a violent criminal insurgency can take root in an advanced country with a trillion - dollar economy\n.\nbut , it said that the book is not\nfor the faint hearted\n. according to the newspaper , the book engulfs an account of the\nrivers of blood in which its citizens are drowning\n, since mexico ' s drug war\nis a case study in the way brutal mafia capitalism has morphed into a criminal insurgency , the like of which is spreading ' like bushfire ' in the americas\n.\n, a mexican newspaper , said that grillo used the\nclosest information possible to his object of work\n, which means that he ran through serious\nthreats\nto get his work done .\nclaims that the book\ndelivers the first authoritative and comprehensive examination\nof the mafia killings in mexico .\nit concluded by comparing the book with a\nbig canvas\nthat traces the rise of the mexican drug trafficking organizations from the quaint 19th - century origins .\nand noted that the reading was\nterrific\u2014full of vivid front - line reporting ; diverse interviews ; a sense of history ; a touch of social science ; clarifying statistics ; and realistic reviews of what might be done to improve things , none of it easy\n.\nthe magazine said it is an\nessential reading\n. it argued that it is america ' s\nweak control of automatic weapons\nand its\nsupply [ of ] guns and money\nthat fuel the bloodshed in mexico .\ndraws the first definitive portrait of mexico ' s drug cartels and how they have radically transformed in the last decade\n.\nin addition , it mentioned that\nthe devastation may be south of the rio grande , but america is knee - deep in this conflict .\nnoted that grillo and his book have\nachieved extraordinary access to gangsters and police ( often the same people )\n.\nand , the author shows how the mexican drug cartels originated in the western state of sinaloa , where the conditions for growing opium poppy were ideal , in the late 19th century .\nsaid that several books have been written in spanish about mexico ' s drug war , but grillos book is perhaps the\nfirst attempt in english for a popular audience\n.\nthe magazine noted that grillo has spent years traveling to mexico ' s drug war hotspots :\nsinaloa , michoac\u00e1n , ciudad ju\u00e1rez\u2014recording interviews with cops and narcos , visiting grave sites and murder scenes\n.\nconcludes that grillo ' s book was an attempt to dig more and beyond the\nreigning mythology of the mexican drug war\n.\nmagazine mentioned that the book ' s\ngraphic and fast - paced history covers south - of - the - border trafficking from ' 60s - era shipments of acapulco gold to the decapitation - filled headlines wrought by the likes of kingpin ( and alleged billionaire ) joaqu\u00edn ' el chapo ' guzm\u00e1n and his rivals , the zetas\u2014special ops soldiers turned criminals\n.\nreported that the drug war violence in mexico\nseldom makes the front page in the u . s\nnewspapers .\nnonetheless , they stated that many american officials are\nworried that the cartels are taking on aspects of an ' insurgency , ' which could make them a threat to the mexican government\n.\nnoted that grillo ' s book\nlays out the history of drug smuggling in the region over the past 100 years or so , and then homes in on the rise of the northern mexican cartels during the 2000s\n.\n( pri )\n[ negotiated ] and [ played ] along with the cartels , and how the transition to real democracy in 2000 dramatically altered that delicate balance\n.\n, the author provides us with more than just a glimpse of mexico ' s criminal underworld and its history .\n, said that grillo\nputs a human face on the violent tragedy caused by u . s . drug demand and mexican cartel criminality\n, and strongly recommends\nstated that grillo has been in\nmore crime scenes than he can remember\n, and that his book includes\ninterviews with hitmen , members of the cartels , politicians and police officers , and people trapped in the crossfire\n.\naccording to the spanish - speaking newspaper , grillo repeatedly comes back to an idea :\nwars start because people cannot feed their families . they start because people feel inferior , without rights , angry and frustrated . they want something bigger in their lives . and you only need a group people with moral depression to convince them that killing and dying spectacularly means glory . islamic terrorist , kamikaze squads , street gangs , the cartels . they were all children at one time .\nsaid that grillo did an\nincredible job\nfor his book , where he\nsynthesized traditional interviews , academic research , pop culture and wikileaks to create a powerful and alarming picture of the cartels of mexico\n.\nhe was also complimented for explaining the\nroot causes\nthat threaten mexican society and\nprobably have potential to be a disruptive force across the american continent and perhaps globally\n.\nnoted that grillo seems to be\ntune with the realities on the ground in mexico\n.\n, the peculiarly mexican church ( or cult , depending on whom you ask ) , favored by the poor , the delinquent , and the dopers\n.\nmentioned that although grillo believes that the mexican drug cartels are closer to a\ncriminal insurgency\n, he cannot buy the appellegation because the cartels do not have an ideology behind what they do , since their goal is making money .\nthis article is issued from wikipedia -

- it ' s the ride of a lifetime .\nstylish and charismatic , with an uplifting live show that gets guests on their feet : it ' s no wonder the roving rabble get booked up as soon as dates become available . don ' t miss out ; hire the rabble today !\nthis story is primarily about the construction and deployment of the mars rovers . it shows many details of the rovers and the difficulties of construction , time lines , landing problems , ect , ect . it does not have many real photos of the mars surface , mainly computer generated . i did enjoy this story about the mars landers of what it took to put them on a far away planet !\nfor centuries human beings have contemplated earth ' s nearest planetary neighbor , mars , dreaming impossible dreams of exploring its surface and divining its mysteries . now the impossible has become possible . the mars mission , which sent two intrepid , death - defying explorers - - spirit and opportunity , the mars rovers - - to the red planet was documented . through the eyes of these remarkable robots , viewers can now see mars in a way that no one ever has . this important expedition accomplished far more than the simple transmission of thousands of martian images . the rovers actually discovered traces of ice within the rocks of mars . the discovery marked clear proof that water once ran on the surface - - a giant leap forward in answering that most haunting of questions : is there life on mars ? < / p >\nthis documentary about the mars rovers mission to mara is very interesting and well done . we learn just what it takes to build these machines and then how much is involved in making sure they are not going to malfunction while in space or once they are on the planet . the animation sequences are very well done . the only drawback for m , is that the film is too short , at just under 40 minutes . otherwise , this a really engaging urltoken thing that struck me though was that the scientists all believe there will be manned mission to mars in the foreseeable future . i think that is being overly optimistic . anyway , for me roving mars is an 8 / 10\nroving mars is a model of how to draw the public into space exploration . the giant size and excellent sound make the movie especially commanding , but even the tv -

- jeff shannon\nthe planet mars has fascinated us since our early ancestors first watched the orange dot wandering across the predictable path of the stars . the invention of the telescope revealed faint , yet tantalising features , raising the possibility that intelligent inhabitants might have altered the surface . and so began our obsession with life on mars .\nthe birth of the space race provided our first close up look at mars as flyby probes snapped hurried shots . orbiting spacecraft were next , followed by landers and then rovers , which allowed us remote access to the planet\u2019s surface . this quest to explore mars is the subject of our most recent exhibition development .\nsucceeded far beyond their mission expectations , becoming one of nasa ' s most triumphant achievements in interplanetary exploration . the photos , chemical analyses , and other data gathered on mars were intended to prove the past existence of water on mars ( and hence the possibility of life ) , and in this and many other respects ,\nthe similarity between rocks found on mars and those found on earth provides a key to unlocking the secrets of mars\u2019 past . geologists can apply their understanding of the processes that shaped earth\u2019s rocks to those they study on the surface of mars . so , understanding how the size of pebbles is linked to the depth and flow rate of the stream in which they form enables scientists to estimate the depth and flow rate of ancient martian streams that created the pebbles in its conglomerate rocks .\nveins within the nakhla martian meteorite contain clay , as well as salts left by evaporation . both indicate the presence of water on mars when the rock formed .\nthe mars data screen at the entrance to our new gallery provides access to all mars\u2019 vital statistics and a selection of images from orbiters and rovers exploring the planet . a news feed keeps visitors up - to - date with the latest findings and research , as our understanding of this fascinating planet continues to grow and evolve .\non january 4 , 2004 sean o ' keefe , director of nasa , announced the\nspirit\nhad landed . three years earlier the scientists and researchers at nasa jet prepulsion were assigned to build two identical robotic rovers to send to mars and feed data back to earth . the two rovers were named\nspirit\nand\nopportunity\n, which were successful in presenting a brand new view of what mars is really like . . . and actually proving at one time there was water on the mysterious planet . this 40 minute documentary is directed and narrated by george butler . shot in imax and with life - like animation , roving mars answers decades old curiosity about the soil and terrain of earth ' s closest planetary neighbor . you just wish you had a longer glimpse . a wonderful tool for classrooms .\njoin the mars rovers spirit and opportunity for an awe - inspiring journey to the surface of the mysterious red planet . through the eyes of these two intrepid , state - of - the - art rovers , and with nasa scientists and engineers at your side , you ' ll see mars in a way no one ever has before .\nwell designed documentary on two mars rovers ( spirit and opportunity . ) we get just enough information and visuals to feel that we are there and part of the project .\nthe new gallery features an interactive mars rover , which can be driven around a mock martian surface . this surface is modelled on real outcrops explored by nasa\u2019s curiosity rover .\ntravel up close astronauts as they repair the hubble space telescope and soar above venus and mars whilst finding proof of new planets and the possibility of other life forming around distant stars .\nastronauts never leave home without a spacesuit , and nor will you if you want to live on mars or the moon . this is how the most versatile suit of all works .\n) , then dives right into the formidable challenge of launching and landing the rovers on time and budget , with a looming deadline of optimal mars / earth orbital alignment occurring only once every 26 months .\nif you are looking for the story of the latest rover ( curiosity ) sadly none is available for purchase . however spirit and opportunity are stories just as compelling and opportunity ( as of this writing ) is still at work on mars . spirit is no longer functional , but accomplished a great deal above the design objectives . more about getting to mars than accomplishments on arrival , but a compelling story nonetheless\nan american spacecraft , laden with european gear , will be the first to study the deep interior of mars . insight will give us a better understanding of how rocky , terrestiral planets like our own formed .\neven if we don ' t reach this new , larger , giant crater , the science that we can do along the way will add to the martian history books . it will extend our historical understanding of the geology on mars .\nroving mars\nis a 40 - minute documentary short film produced by disney and written and directed by experienced documentary filmmaker george butler (\npunping iron\n) . the question how much you will enjoy this one here all comes down do how much you like science , astronomy and exploration films . i myself am not too big on all these subjects , so i did not enjoy it too much . i also believe that people have intruded enough in areas where they have no business being with , which is why i cannot share the scientists ' joy in this film when they get the robot to mars and receive a signal . the narrator here is oscar winner paul newman in one of his final works as a ( voice ) actor . all in all , i give this one a negative verdict as i did never really feel entertained . but maybe you will if you are more into this kind of films .\nthis particular rock formed 1 . 38 billion years ago , making it much younger than meteorites originating from asteroids . it also contains more varied minerals than those found in asteroids . all of which point to its origin on the planet mars .\njust a gigolo -

cooled imax projectors ( and in the imax cameras ) is much larger than ordinary film , having about ten times the area , so it captures much more detail . and the detail shows : the images are crystal clear . high - quality sound , with pumping subwoofers , also helps the ambience , and roving mars has an appropriately ethereal score by philip glass .\nthanks to an entirely acoustic line - up of acoustic guitar , upright bass , percussion and sax , the roving rabble are free to get involved in the party , roaming the dance floor , interacting with guests and lifting the atmosphere with their infectious live performance . the guys are also a great choice for an afternoon drinks reception , especially outdoors , where they capture the summer spirit or lift the winter gloom with their upbeat folky style . another added benefit of booking a fully acoustic band is their ability to perform to their full potential at almost all venues , even those with restrictions on live music .\n] space exploration began with dreaming . thousands of years of humans staring into the heavens and wondering , how did this begin ? what else is out there ? the earliest answers were given in myth and poetry . now they are sought by space age technology . and while each mission increases our knowledge , it also leads our imagination further and further . how did life begin ? did it happen more than once in the universe ? the answer may lie on mars .\nbeing a sci - fi nut i suppose you would figure i am bound to like any documentary regarding outer space and you would be correct . i enjoyed this one about mars because it is a very informative documentary . the picture and sound quality is brilliant . if like me your a scaredy cat this is as far into space as you would go even if space travel was possible . even if you are not a science or space geek i would hazzard a guess that you will most certainly enjoy this .\nwe are shown an animation of the landing on mars , as no cameras hovered overhead to film the event . we see the delicate rovers cradled in spherical airbags that are cut free from parachutes and left to bounce several times , with the images animated using actual data transmitted to earth . real cutaways to the scientists , engineers and administrators in the jpl control room provide the spirit of space exploration . we clearly see the emotional effects of the time delay caused by the finite speed of light . and we share the elation in the control room when , after a frightening further delay , the first signals come through .\nactual film obtained on the martian surface is shown for only a few minutes at the end , but the treatment is nonetheless first - rate . the narrator discusses the evidence for past water on the martian surface , and we see types of rock that only form as sediments , such as jarosite . the movie shows , in tremendous close - up , the haematite masses known as \u2018blueberries\u2019 that have eroded out of the rocks \u2014 these are taken as evidence for past water on mars . and we see some dramatic images of the planet ' s surface , including the crater that spirit climbed out of , complete with tyre tracks .\nat nasa ' s jet propulsion laboratory ( jpl ) in pasadena , california , we see highly skilled engineers addressing every challenge and every possible contingency , and project leader steve squyers serves as our informative host and enthusiastic populist for space exploration . after launching in june and july of 2003 , the rovers traveled for seven months and 300 million miles to mars , landing on the red planet in january 2004 . every aspect of the mission is covered in concise detail , and tension escalates as touch - down ( achieved with the now - familiar\nbouncing balloon\nlanding system ) draws near . what ' s most remarkable , even to the crew at jpl , is that\nthis had the _ opportunity _ to be a great documentary . it started with less of the crappy motivational speeches and some bits of actual science . they showed the construction phases of the two rovers that went on mars and the animations were great . i expected this to turn into a detailed log of the travels of the two rovers and the emotions involved and the science and engineering decisions that were made . but the film ended abruptly , after only 38 minutes . the rovers landed and finished their mission in less than 10 minutes of film time . what was a great concept and a refreshing presentation style ended up in mediocrity . and what was paul newman doing narrating the beginning of the film ? god , he sounded old .\ni went to this at the imax today and i found my 30 minute drive well worth the trouble . although a short documentary , it is an extremely informative one . although there seems to be some license given to the sound of the film , it creates a stunning aura to the scenes both on mars and in space . the film is actually quite dramatic . kids will find themselves staring saucer - eyed at the visuals as well as the soothing and informative narration given by an all too familiar voice that i cannot place . i recommend this film and give it a high rating due to the fact that it has accomplished something i value most in documentories - making learning fun . watching children and adults alike leave the theater chatting animatedly about the\npossibilities of life\nin the universe made me beam happily through the rest of the museum .\nthank you for visiting nature . com . you are using a browser version with limited support for css . to obtain the best experience , we recommend you use a more up to date browser ( or turn off compatibility mode in internet explorer ) . in the meantime , to ensure continued support , we are displaying the site without styles and javascript .\nthe film begins by crediting nasa ' s jet propulsion laboratory ( jpl ) with the unique capability of building the rovers , and explains that steve squyres of cornell university was chosen to head the mission . a substantial part of the film deals with building and testing the rovers , which we see in exquisite , close - up detail . we learn how flexible each rover is , with its six wheels each individually mounted and with a robotic arm that has the equivalent of shoulder , elbow and wrist motions . we see the individual devices on the arm , and how one of them , the rock abrasion tool , can cut through rock surfaces to allow unweathered surfaces to be analysed .\nthe movie takes us to cape canaveral for the launch . dramatic high - resolution images are followed by an animation of the mission . the main problem i had with the film was distinguishing photographs from the animations , which are of exceptionally high quality ; i wish the latter always had \u201canimation\u201d printed in a corner , or some other demarcation . and i wish the movie - makers hadn ' t added whooshes of sound as the later - stage rocket engines ignited , as sound doesn ' t travel in space .\nthe rovers ' six wheels and battery of tools made them well equipped to explore the martian surface . image : disney enterprises\nthe film can now be seen at imax cinemas across the united states and will be released in other countries later in 2006 .\njay m . pasachoff is field memorial professor of astronomy at williams college , williamstown , massachusetts 01267 , usa .\nby submitting a comment you agree to abide by our terms and community guidelines . if you find something abusive or that does not comply with our terms or guidelines please flag it as inappropriate .\nnature is part of springer nature . \u00a9 2018 springer nature limited . all rights reserved .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\ndaily box office ( sun . ) | weekend box office ( jul . 6\u20138 ) | # 1 movie : ' ant -

and - a - half to four billion years ago .\nand it ' s something that the scientists were looking for , and it was right there where they landed .\ni think the greatest accomplishment of eagle crater was they saw things that look like blueberries .\nand these are things that are little tiny balls of material that look like something that was produced in the presence of water .\ncraters are great for the geologists , because they ' re like time tunnels .\nthey ' re big holes in the ground , and by going down into the crater , you ' re essentially going back in time - - because you know the older rocks are towards the bottom .\nendurance\nwas exciting , because this was the first big crater we had entered .\nthat ' s something we never thought we would ever do with a rover , because it was considered too dangerous .\nso we actually had to do some additional work here on earth to verify that it was safe - - not only to go down into the crater , but that we could get back out again .\nat times , we ' ve reached slopes of about 30 degrees and slightly higher .\nit ' s actually hard for people to walk on 30 - degree slopes .\nwe had a lot of close calls where we ' d be driving in a particular location and we ' d start sliding .\nthen we ' d try to go back up and we ' d slide .\nand there ' s a certain point where if you keep on sliding , you may never get out .\nit was a little nerve - wracking , but in the end , they determined it was worth going in there , because scientifically it was so interesting .\nit ' s a half - mile diameter crater that took us about two years to reach .\nand it was exciting , because we ' ve never been to a crater quite that large .\nand we had to find , at first , a safe place to go into this crater .\nwell for us , actually , it was a little scary , to be perfectly honest .\nimagine going to the edge of the grand canyon and looking over - - and then here you are - - you ' re commanding a rover to go to the very edge .\nyou have to be very careful about getting as close to the edge as you can - - but not falling over .\nthe greatest threat to opportunity ' s survival was a global martian dust storm .\nand these are massive storms - - i mean , they block out the sun .\nit was quite a surprise , because , you know - - we hadn ' t seen anything of that magnitude before .\nthat was very scary , because during that period the cloud got very dark , and since we ' re a solar - powered vehicle , our power got very low .\nso there was about a two - week period where it was touch - and - go every day , and we didn ' t know whether we ' d come in the next day and the rover would still be there .\nbut it rode out the storm , it got through it , the skies cleared , and the rover was fine .\nthis is called\nendeavour ,\nand it ' s 20 kilometers in diameter , so it ' s about 12 miles in size .\nand it ' s about 20 kilometers away , so another 12 miles in distance .\nso it ' s actually further away than all the driving that opportunity has done in the past five years .\nso it ' s a very distant objective - - it ' s a very ambitious objective - - but scientifically , that ' s the direction to head .\nand so you get the perspective as if you were there yourself , looking over these great vistas .\nwe love the rovers , as if they ' re our own children , because it ' s gone through so much , it ' s accomplished so much , it ' s gone through hardships , it ' s gone through incredible victories .\nand so you know , we love the rovers , we care about them , we worry about them , we ' re excited when they make new discoveries .\na dust storm continues to envelop the red planet and curiosity ' s labs are back in action .\nthe lecraw auditorium is located on the first floor of the scheller college of business .\nshort documentary , and just good enough to keep the attention of young viewers . . . great action sequences and as mentioned , the animation from live footage is nearly indistinguishable . . . the nasa experience shared here both in actual footage and staff interviews makes for great enjoyment for any space buff . . . well worth seeing as an imax candidate ! i suppose the only drawback is no green men or any hollywood fantasies here , you have to actually use your mind to imagine the possibilities of what ' s out there , given the tidbits of evidence about water and rock material collected from the mission . . . should be enough for any mortal man , but don ' t go in expecting to see tom cruise battle any aliens . : )\ni saw this at an imax in la last week - i ' m still in awe . maybe the previous commenter was a rocket scientist himself , but for me , the hurdles these people had to accomplish in the time they did , and the unbelievable success they had is something that made me proud to be an american when i left the theater . the visual aspects of the film left me holding my breath at times . and the story - it was the same story we ' ve all seen 100 times - a small group of people working together to achieve the impossible . only this time , the story is true , the people are real and the goal is the advancement of humanity . something we can all be proud of in a time when there are not that many things that we should be proud of . take everyone you can drag with you - there isn ' t anyone who won ' t be moved by the vistas of a distant planet sent here by a couple tiny robots built by a small group of men and women from the planet earth who had a dream . why a 9 instead of a 10 ? it ended too soon .\ni do love these imax movies . it ' s very nice to see films that are edited properly and it ' s a real joy to see editing like this . this one has music that seems to be identical to fog of war ! it ' s good music though . the bad : for something that is meant to be 100 % real . . . why have they put sound on the outer space stuff ? the good : there ' s never a dull moment in this documentary . it ' s really fascinating seeing how the rover unfolds itself and moves around the terrain . plus the elaborate way in which they got it onto the martian surface in the first place ! these films have a way of brightening up your day because they are so positive and exciting . you leave the film feeling good . . . and that has to be a good thing .\nwe use cookies to improve our service for you . you can find more information in our data protection declaration .\nnasa experts worry that cold temperatures and a lack of sunlight could damage the rover opportunity . the space agency has not been able to communicate with the rover for several days .\nthis will be a unique opportunity to network with fellow alumni , parents , project sponsors , incoming students and friends of wpi . beverages and a lunch buffet will be available .\n500 miles -

year - old miner named frank keeney .\nthe opening was originally going to be an irishman painting the word ' titanic ' . during that same scene , it is not , as believed by some , a real film from her departure in 1912 . james cameron wanted to use actual footage , but at the time there was none . so he attempted to create what he thought took place . however after the movie was released , some actual footage was discovered .\neven before he began city lights , the sound film was firmly established . this new revolution was a bigger challenge to chaplin than to other silent stars . his tramp character was universal . his mime was understood in every part of the world . but if the tramp now began to speak in english , that world -

- les miserables - - about a working - class revolt in 19th century france .\nto me , adolph zukor was the greatest showman of his generation . his appreciations of programming , promotion , and advertising remained unfailing almost up to his death \u2026 his mind remained crystal clear . he wanted to know everything about each picture . not only paramount\u2019s films but those of the other studios as well . he made the most astute observations as to why a picture didn\u2019t do well . his counsel benefited the company almost to the day he died , at age 103 , in 1976 .\nconcerned for pollock & apos ; s well -

life suffragettes ( plus one man ) who either appear in suffragette or whose stories are reflected in the film .\none of his biggest challenges was finding actors who could make the transition from stage to film . few knew how to perform for a camera . one young stage star , mary pickford , had done some film work , and zukor offered her $ 500 a week compared to the $ 175 she was making on broadway . by 1916 , she was being paid $ 10 , 000 a week , the equivalent of $ 220 , 000 today .\nlater in life , cal married someone else and inherited his family ' s millions . however , in the stock market crash of 1929 , cal fell into financial ruin and committed suicide by shooting himself in the mouth . his children later fought over the scraps of his estate like hyenas as rose claimed she read .\ntrue or not , it is a typically o & apos ; neillian irony that he might well have remained all but forgotten in his own country if his instructions to withhold the play had been honored . for it was the play & apos ; s premature release that revived , with full glory , o & apos ; neill & apos ; s stature . and all because his willful widow chose to contravene his wishes .\nbland , robert henderson . from manger to cross : the story of the world -

claude van damme starrer \u201cdouble impact . \u201d black - and - white prologue set in 1965 establishes the gimmicky setup , as a fugitive convict takes one of two twin male infants as hostage while escaping a hong kong hospital . bad guy quickly is recaptured , but not before he dumps the baby into a wooded area where he\u2019s providentially found by a boozy floozy . she raises the foundling as her own , while the child\u2019s real parents move to u . s . with the other twin .\nan absolutely entertaining and witty action film that has jackie chan as long - lost twin brothers who both discover each other as one is a respected concert pianist and the other is a two - bit criminal as it features chan being both graceful and funny in the action scenes .\nthis movie is hilarious and highly entertaining . like most of jackie chan ' s movies , this is an action slapstick comedy adventure . the idea for this one is that he has a twin , so we get twice the fun . i really enjoyed this one , it ' s one of my favorite movies of his .\nenglish dubbing isn\u2019t half - bad . unfortunately , the camera trickery is glaringly cheesy in some shots , greatly undercutting the illusion of twin brothers in the same frame . when the two brothers first meet in a hotel lavatory , it\u2019s easy to see how two shots have been overlapped . it\u2019s even easier to see that , when they\u2019re supposed to be looking at each other , they don\u2019t quite make eye contact .\nchan ' s performance is solid , but the editing of the film to create the\ntwin\neffect is obvious . the badly - dubbed dialogue i can easily overlook , as this is how i ' ve seen most chan films and i think it adds a nice touch in and of itself . while i recommend renting this movie if you get a chance , i would not make this your first jackie chan film .\nthe night the wealthy mrs . ma gives birth to identical twins , all hell breaks loose in the hospital ! a wounded gangster , in a desperate bid to escape , snatches one of the twins as a hostage as he shoots his way pass the police . the distraught parents lavish all their love and affection on the remaining twin . they move to new york where the boy , john ma , becomes a world - famous conductor .\nother complications arise because both twins are able to sense each other\u2019s movements and reactions . for example , while boomer races in a speedboat , john ma rocks uncontrollably in his restaurant seat . the psychic bonding comes in handy on several occasions , most notably in pic\u2019s most inspired sequence . as boomer frantically fakes his way through conducting an orchestra , his movements echo those of his twin \u2014 who\u2019s listening to the concert on a car radio while driving a newly escaped gangster away from pursuing police cars .\nfast - forward three decades \u2014 well , ok , 27 years \u2014 and john ma , the twin who made it to america , is a world - famous concert pianist and orchestra conductor . back in hong kong , boomer , the other brother , is a garage mechanic with a penchant for racing and a talent for butt - kicking . blissfully unaware that he even has a sibling , boomer treasures his close friendship with tyson ( teddy robin ) , a short , smart - mouthed fellow who is more trouble than he\u2019s worth .\nafter a commercially successful foray into hollywood with last year ' s rush hour , martial arts superstar jackie chan returns to the more familiar streets of hong kong for this action - comedy , in which he plays twin brothers separated at birth . one , a classical musician ( the film seems confused as to whether he ' s a pianist or a conductor ) , returns to the city for the first time in years for a concert , while the other , a garage attendant , is getting into a scrape with local hoodlums . predictable confusion and mayhem ensue as the two brothers suffer multiple cases of mistaken identity .\non holidays in hong kong , mrs ma gives birth to identical twins . a criminal in the same hospital attempts to escape , taking one of the twins hostage . the child is lost during the confusion , and mr and mrs ma return to new york with one child . years later , john ma is a famous conductor and pianist , unaware that his twin brother\nboomer\nis a mechanic / race car driver / bodyguard in hong kong . when john travels to hong kong to give a concert , the twins get caught up in each other ' s business , about which they are anything but experts .\nhong kong , 1965 . newborn twin brothers are separated when a fleeing crook barges through a hospital room , taking one baby as hostage . although the criminal is captured , the child becomes a foundling . raised by a good - natured but alcoholic floozy , he grows up to be boomer , a mechanic and racing driver . he has a knack for martial arts and is often dragged into trouble by his friend tyson . meanwhile , john ma , boomer ' s brother , grows up in wealthy surroundings and becomes a concert pianist and conductor . the brothers share a psychic link and tune into each other ' s sneezes and sensations at odd moments .\ndespite the back to the future having mastered the same actor appears twice in the same shot gag years before , this film utterly fails to have chan appear as multiples of himself with various failing with eyelines not matching up and rotoscoping that appears to have been done by untrained work experience students , i enjoyed the hell out of this and it only looses a single star for these failings . the reason for this is the action sequences are so hilariously ridiculous and fun , i couldn ' t help but love it . there ' s a sequence with chan ' s inept twin driving half a bus that ' s also on fire . exploding oil barrels , and a scene in a mitsubishi test facility to finish the film with so many action and gags per second it ' s almost hard to keep up . i liked this very silly film .\nkinja is in read -

time high . maybe this is all why i loved last year ' s rush hour so much . it was jackie ' s first big - budget american - made film and it rocked ! too bad no one ever thought of hiring him in the u . s . before !\n, chan ' s latest theatrical release to the u . s . the corniness is present . the ho - hum plot is there . the fun is there . although the over - dubbing was lame , as well ( at least we had chan ' s voice speaking american ) , the movie is highly enjoyable . when the two chan ' s are mistaken for the other and when they are together , the fun is at it ' s all - time high during the film . the only drawback is that john ma is a wuss . boomer fights like\njackie chan\nwhile john ma runs away like\njackie chan .\nthe humorous extremes were split between the two chans . but what really makes this film so good is not the mediocre acting , occasional corniness , lame jokes , or bad over - dubbing , but it ' s the ending .\nin the end battle sequence , boomer takes on the gangsters at a car testing site . chan does everything from just barely escaping a car speeding toward him to fighting in a car wash , to brawling in a steaming heat - testing room .\nthe language in the film was the worst i ' ve heard in an over - dubbed film yet . there were several\ns\nwords , as well as\ns . o . b . s\nand an assortment of others . the sexually - related comments & innuendo were the highest in a japanese film like this that i ' ve seen , too . nothing was extremely bad , but it wasn ' t necessary to be in the film . most of it was used for comic relief . the bulk of nudity - related material comes in the form of a statue and a slight side - view glimpse of tammy ' s chest . but nothing major . also , boomer , mistake for john ma , thinks tammy wants to have sex , and ends up taking off his shirt and jumping into bed with her . nothing is shown , but it is implied they have sex . several jokes are played off this scene , as well .\noverall , the movie was good . it ' s not a great movie for the reasons of the plot , corniness , and over - dubs , but chan ' s double presence and awesome stunts make the picture , and in essence , save it . i couldn ' t give it any lower than 2 and a half , but for the above reasons , couldn ' t give it any higher . jackie chan fans : if you like him , you ' ll like this movie . and for people who want to be introduced to chan , rent rush hour ( but the content of that one makes it a difficult recommendation ) . if you have any questions about the film before you see it , feel free to contact me .\n: there are a few short sexual - related conversations exchanged . we see an extremely brief glimse of the side of tammy ' s chest as she climbs into a tub . in one scene , tammy , thinking it ' s john ma , but it ' s really boomer , wants him to massage her like in an earlier instance . boomer takes it as an invitation for sex and leaps into bed with her after taking off his shirt and undoing his pants . we see them in bed together afterwards and boomer refers to it as a workout .\n: 4\ns\nwords , 2\ng * dd * mn ,\n1\npr * ck ,\n9\nh * ll ,\n6\na\nwords , 6\nd * mn ,\n3 s . o . b . s , 1\ncr * p ,\n1\nb * tch ,\n1\nb * stard ,\n1\noh g -

american enclave of martha\u2019s vineyard . the family is arriving for the weekend , and son flip ( terrell tilford ) , a successful plastic surgeon , is bringing his white fianc\u00e9e kimber ( avery clyde ) to meet the family . writer son kent ( chris butler ) also brings his bride - to - be , taylor ( michole briana white ) , who comes from a lower rung on the social ladder . at first all is banter , horseplay and fun , but gradually fracture lines appear . despite their wealth and privilege , the levays are not immune to the stresses and prejudices of snobbery , race and class , conflicts between fathers and sons , and brotherly rivalries . mom hasn\u2019t turned up for the family gathering , and secrets about sexual hanky - panky lurk beneath the surface , waiting to erupt . meanwhile , young substitute maid\u2013housekeeper cheryl ( tinashe kajese ) is seriously upset about something . diamond\u2019s play combines complex characters , provocative situations and literate , funny dialogue in this delicious comedy of contemporary manners . director shirley joe finney reveals a sharp eye for social nuance , and melds her dream cast into a brilliantly seamless ensemble . they are all terrific .\nterrell : i do . i ' ve been collecting art since i was 16 years old and working with artists as a curator and as a gallerist since , officially , probably 2002 . so that\u2019s something that i ' ve been doing for a number of years . i don\u2019t like to call it on the side and it\u2019s not really a hobby . i ' ve curated here and in new york and had threatened to curate in atlanta last year but just got a little bit too busy with our schedule there , but i have a very deep passion for that and it\u2019s certainly something i plan to continue with as well .\nvictoria : yeah , i do . there are a couple things . i started taking archery about a year and a half ago . it was kind of funny . again , terrell , he exposes me to so many things . i started teaching acting at a college and he said , \u201cyou know one of the books that you should assign for reading is zen in the art of archery \u201d and i was like , \u201cokay\u2026\u201d \u201cwhy in the world would i be reading zen in the art of archery for an acting class ? \u201d but then i read it and i was like , \u201coh , i see how this relates to acting\u201d and i would have my students do a paper on how it relates to acting .\nterrell : yeah and , in a sense , at the time when we first started dating , we weren\u2019t actually working together . we were on hiatus for about six weeks . so she had been living in l . a . when she booked the job , so she came back out to l . a . and i came out here to visit my family because this is where i\u2019m originally from . so we had a chance to like\u2026we started hiking and i was taking her on hikes with some of my friends and we were all just hanging out a bit . i think things opened up that , look , i think this could be a very good and cool thing . i think the first thing she did with my family is we all went to cirque de soleil together .\nwith the studio move , and the recent as the world turns cancelled news , fans have been drawn into the rumor of a possible cancellation for our favorite abc daytime drama . though one life to live will now be the only soap opera left in new york city , new york , terrell gave us his stance on the show ' s future and how fans should look at it .\ni see a very bright future for one life to live . i don ' t believe abc / disney would spend the money , and time , to make the move , which will benefit the show , then cancel it . people can either hold on to and celebrate in the show ' s victory or live in fear . fans should enjoy the show and be part of the ride . everyone gives their best to bring that to them .\nterrell : probably about a year and a half or so , but the great thing during that time , in all honesty , the wonderful thing about it , one , is we were playing lovers on the show , which was stressful for me and probably just fine for her . however , in between shooting and in between rehearsals , we\u2019d get off early or something like that , we\u2019d go grab lunch or something like that and because of where our proximity was , we both lived pretty far outside of manhattan at the time , i think we caught a movie once or twice or something like that . it was very much on the up and up . i was very enamored with her , but at some point i had to relax and chill and try to play it cool as we went out to lunch and hung out a bit .\nvictoria : i\u2019m much more cynical than terrell . [ laughter ] i don\u2019t think young people should be in this business . i started out as a kid and though i think i ' ve become a well - adjusted adult , it was really difficult in a business that is based on things that are transitory and temporary . they\u2019re based on things that i believe are shallow sometimes , many times , what you look like and many of those things , you don\u2019t have control over . this is not a career based on meritocracy . it\u2019s not like becoming a doctor . you go to school to become a doctor and if you get good grades and pass all your exams , you can have a practice . that is not the same thing in this business . you can be the most amazing actor in the world and still be on the unemployment line .\nfor every will smith and angelina jolie , there are literally tens of thousands of other people who are not working and i know every one of us , you have to go into this career thinking , \u201ci will not be one of those people . i will be one of the will smiths and angelina jolies , \u201d but we all say that and not all of us are up there . so somehow , we have to have some sort of , we\u2019ve got to have a foot in the real world and say , in this way i do agree with terrell , that you\u2019ve got to have some sort of passion for it , but the other thing is , just be honest . have your dream , obviously , but also know it\u2019s not based on meritocracy . just because you\u2019re professional , just because you\u2019re talented , just because you\u2019re a wonderful actor does not mean that you\u2019re going to be successful ."]}

and she makes it , with brio .\nduring the q & a , elliott and winchester alluded to the challenges small budget films face to obtain distribution under the prevailing distribution models . i had travelled up from sydney to the dungog screening to see the film , and to enjoy a weekend in the country at the request of john o\u2019brien who was the script editor , first assistant director and who worked on the post production of bathing franky . but something happened during the screening of the film ; as i found myself falling under the spell of the amateur magician rodney , his once - exotic , now - ancient mother , and the influence they have on steve and his girlfriend susie ( played superbly by desborough ) .\nfilmed in just 4 weeks , this feature film is the result of a great amount of creativity , team effort and determination . cinematographer ( and good eye deer ' s creative director ) gavin banks worked closely with bathing frankie ' s director owen elliot to craft some tantalising moments of cinema . distributed by titan view , this film is a great achievement for the director / producer team , owen elliot and michael winchester .\nand who made sure of that ? the school ' s mean girl , mini , instantly recognisable to tina fey fans and anyone who ' s found themselves on the wrong side of\ncool\n, and determined to make franky conform to her ideas of style . judging by a couple of cagey looks , mini must be hiding something under that pink get - up , but what ?\nelsewhere on the boy front there ' s the nietschze fanboy matty , a dark - haired stranger who ' s most likely to inspire age - inappropriate crushes amongst the show ' s older audience members . with puppy - dog eyes , an inflatable pout and a thing for franky , i see it going a bit taming of the shrew ( or more likely 10 things i hate about you ) .\nwhen steve ( shaun goss ) is released on parole from prison , he is unable to connect with his girlfriend susie ( bree desborough ) and his former friends . needing a job , he takes on a meals - on - wheels delivery job for a community welfare agency run by the forthright peg ( kath leahy ) and this is how he meets rodney ( henri szeps ) who cares full - time for his mother franky ( maria venuti ) .\nhopefully , the friends of franky , and some champions too , will take up this challenge and at least a limited release in sydney or melbourne will be made possible . again lateral thinking and community support may be the only way this can be done because money is a very real obstacle for people who have put their own funds and unpaid time into the project . crowd funding is one possible way of raising funds for a screening in a capital centre .\nduring our first introduction , liv had little more to do than scamper after her leader \u2013 but the lovely grace ( little voice , big attitude ) made a promising start , finishing the episode by ditching mini ' s mogadishu - themed soiree - like , somali pirates are totally in this year - and jumping in a pool with outcast franky . i ' m expecting emotional turmoil as she decides between sticking with meanie mini or making a go of it alone .\nthe other lad , nick , is mini ' s boyfriend and in episode one just about managed to squeeze a grunt from his ' rugby boy ' jaw . as ever , there were strong performances from the adults too . franky ' s brilliant adoptive dads , married in army uniforms and trained in patisserie , look set to star \u2013 although they have stiff competition from huey morgan who cameos as heat -

i ' ve seen it twice , and while it seems episodic and casual , there ' s not a wasted moment or word ( or character ) in the film . it seems so realistic , how things would actually go , though you don ' t see it coming . gritty and stark at times -

that is what jayamkondaan is all about . though the film revolves around the ambitions of its central characters , the makers have not been too ambitious themselves , not adding too many commercial ingredients . by and large , the narrative concentrates on the central plot without any unnecessary deviations . coming from a debutant director , these are the signs of a good movie . but has kannan delivered ?\noverall , jayamkondaan is clean fare that has something lacking to make it entirely interesting . the director has shown that he knows the nuances of film making well . one is not sure whether this is unfair to the debutant , but shades of mani ratnams\u2019 films and concepts can be seen here . overall , a good attempt that could have done with a crisper script . prospects at the box office are not too bright owing to the lack of pace in narration , but the neat presentation could bring the families in . verdict \u2013 a few fries short of a happy meal\nmovie title -

[ 4 ] priyamani , parvathi menon of poo fame and meenal were initially announced to play heroines , although the first two were later replaced in the film . [ 5 ] [ 6 ] karthika nair was then signed on to play the leading female role of annakodi , more than two decades after bharathiraja had cast her mother radha in her debut film . [ 7 ] iniya was selected to portray a character called mallankinaru mankatha after bharathiraja was impressed with her performance in vaagai sooda vaa . reports also suggested that vinay , who had previously appeared in unnale unnale and jayamkondaan , was signed on to play a pivotal role although bharathiraja ' s managers later dismissed the claim . in a turn of events , the day before the shoot began , parthiepan was replaced by ameer to portray the title roles , with parthiepan admitting he was left in the dark about the decision . [ 8 ] [ 9 ] [ 10 ]\n, that he has the potential to churn out a neat feel - good entertainer . the racy screenplay and the crisp message at the end deftly packaged on the back of the age - old formula , makes the film work in these hard - up times .\nthe most refreshing thing about kannan ' s film is that he tries to combine mainstream tamil film aesthetics with mass appeal . there is a basic story laced with sentiments , friendship , love , comedy , action , deep\nevolving out of hate , a nice message in the climax against rowdyism , plus pleasant music score . and fine all round performance by the likeable actors in the film - vinay , lekha , bhavana , krishna , vivek , santhanam , kishore , and athisaya .\n. in the original it was a fight between the son and illegitimate son of a top politician in the first half , who gang up to fight the villain . here it is a son and illegitimate daughter who are daggers drawn over father ' s property , who in the climax join together to demolish the bad guy .\narjun ( vinay ) is an it professional who was in london for years , and has now come down to chennai to set up his own business . he has a wide friends circle like krishna ( krishna ) , gopal ( vivek ) and their wives , who make merry . arjun ' s philosophy in life is to be always cool and never lose one ' s temper under any circumstances . he feels if one has to reach his goal in life it is better to win over your enemies and take them along .\nhowever arjun is shocked when he finds that his late father had another family , and his half sister brinda ( lekha washington ) is now trying to sell his family house in madurai . she needs the money to go to us , as she has got a scholarship at mit ! they lock horns over the property and land up in madurai , where a red chilly dealer ( nizhalgal ravi ) is staying in their house with his daughter annapoorni ( bhavana ) . arjun pretends that poorni is his childhood sweetheart , wins her over and manages to get her vacated from the premise .\nthere is a rowdy guna ( kishore ) who is a terror in madurai and our hero gets entangled with him that leads to an accident in which his wife poonkodi ( athisaya ) gets killed . now guna is baying for revenge as he follows arjun to chennai . the rest of the film is how arjun tries to take the responsibilities as a big brother and wins over brinda and deals with guna , who is determined to kill him .\n. however the film works because of its simple straightforward narration and packaging . lekha washington for a first timer sparkles as the half sister in a well etched role . she is the surprise packet and has the credentials to make it big . vinay with a moustache looks too thin and fragile but adds to the film ? s energy but should try to dub in his own voice .\nbhavana has nothing much to do other than looking prim and proper . krishna and santhanam are far better than vivek who at times you feel speaks more dialogues than necessary . athisaya as the small town girl who gets enamored by the rowdy is a revelation , while kishore fits the bill as the bad guy .\nvidayasagar ? s music is so - so , there is a feeling that you have heard these tunes before . the picturisation is nowhere near the high standards set up by the director ? s guru . in fact the foreign locale song set against a historic monument in uzbekistan looks like a cardboard set . on the downside too many songs are inserted into the narration , and at times the film lags , particularly after interval .\nt he hero and his friends are in a cinema theatre , crunching on popcorn and getting ready to watch a vijay - starrer . but just as vijay erupts on screen , a goon insults our hero ' s friends , rousing them into a fury . sounds familiar , doesn ' t it ? but sathya jyothi films ' jayam kondaan ( he who is victorious ) has a twist : the hero plays pacifier , and smoothes down the issue . reason : ' not every problem can be solved by beating people up . '\nthat is the general tone of tamil film , jayam kondaan , directed by r kannan , the erstwhile assistant of mani ratnam . so has the student made sure his teacher ' s name remains unsullied ? more or less . which , in itself , is quite a victory .\nfor starters , kannan seems to know that a good movie , like a good short story , gains a lot of points when it takes off right from the first scene - - the film begins with arjun ( vinay ) returning from london [ images ] to start a new venture .\narjun and his friends , including vivek , are keen on enjoying life , and are full of eager plans to set up business in chennai . but they need the capital first . they decide to utilise arjun ' s savings , rather the money that his father left him . but when they withdraw it from the bank , they ' re in for a rude shock : there ' s only a meagre balance of a few thousand rupees left . what happened to the lakhs of money saved ?\nthat sets the ball rolling . careful enquiries turn up more shocking news : arjun ' s father has had another family , most importantly , a daughter brinda ( lekha washington ) , who is determined to go to the mit in the us . arjun and brinda have a clash when it comes to disposing off a property in madurai [ images ] , supposedly bought from arjun ' s own funds - - but neither can sell it without the other ' s approval . and then , battle lines are drawn .\narjun journeys down to madurai to take a look at the property himself , and meets the gangly , na\ufffdve and attractive sports - girl poorani ( bhavna ) , who mistakes him for her groom - to - be and falls at his feet . much hilarity ensues , after which it is discovered that arjun is here to sell the property and then hostilities start .\na reasonably fast - paced vendetta follows arjun to chennai , leading him to shack up with his angry step - sister . the man who had everything when he first came to chennai - - now has nothing .\nvinay , as the protagonist is very comfortable in his role . he has expressive eyes , emotes well , and makes sure his audience isn ' t disappointed . but it is lekha washington , who is clearly the surprise package : this girl can act , and how .\nbhavna , with her soulful eyes and acting talent , could have done with a meatier role . as it is , she shines during the comic parts and has tried , with moderate success , to speak the madurai tongue herself . it induces some laughter in the beginning , but she wins you over .\nvivek seems to have lost his touch ; his jokes fall flat . livingstone , even if he appears in a meagre role , is finally a true - blue police officer . malavika , santhanam and nizhalgal ravi have done well .\nkannan deserves credit for a good job on his story and screenplay . his twists and turns make you sit up , ( pattukkottai prabhakar ' s dialogues are natural ) - - and he etches small characters in a way that makes it easy to identify with them .\nbalasubramaniam ' s camera makes sure the viewers aren ' t treated to bizarre angles . v t vijayan ' s editing is slick and smooth .\njayam kondaan is a nice blend of the cinematic and logic . it is a good , watchable fare . go for it .\n' i ' -

for - nothing friends , azagu ( vemal ) and mike ( soori ) are escaping to chennai after soori\u2019s plan to elope with his girlfriend fails . also on the train is the lovely priya ( priya anand ) , a medical college student in her internship year .\nthere is an emergency on the train , a woman in labor . priya efficiently handles the situation , the child is safely born and azagu promptly falls in love with her .\na few songs and several totally boring comedy scenes later , we come to the crux of the matter .\na man wielding a knife attacks priya . azagu saves her and the narrative moves to a flashback mode . priya is travelling to chennai to attend the hearing of a case filed against steel factory owners , nasser and his wife anupama kumar .\nthe workers of this factory are forced to work without the appropriate safety equipments using decades -

[ 2 ] the film was earlier titled annakodiyum kodiveeranum . [ 3 ]\nwhen the mullaperiyar dam issue precipitated , bharathiraja suspended the shooting of the film and sent his keralan - born heroines home until the issue had died down . the film ran into further trouble when the tussle between the producers and fefsi created disputes between the lead actor and director . ameer , made remarks against the producers council and backed the fefsi , and reports suggested that a displeased bharathiraja opted to replace him in the film with cheran . however bharathiraja went on to claim that the\nscript needed some changes\nwhich would not suit ameer and thus signed on his own son , manoj , to play the lead role . [ 11 ] iniya was also reported to have left the project due to the delay , but she denied such claims . [ 12 ] but her role wasn ' t eventually incorporated in the film . [ 13 ] roja was selected to play the role of a wine seller and the mother of karthika nair .

[ 20 ] indian express wrote :\nlong and dreary , and testing one\u2019s patience at times , it\u2019s a disappointing fare from the ace director\n. [ 21 ] behindwoods wrote :\nto sum up , this melodramatic movie doesn ' t have a new story to tell and the closing message about love being beyond all such issues like caste , creed and religion is again a really dated thought\n.

released shiver - giver agyaat . the film has garnered extremely mixed reviews . but ask ramu if he . . .\nif agyaat indeed comes in the month of july , then utv motion pictures is expected to be challenged by logistics hassles if it were to bring \u0091kaminey\u0092 in quick time too . reason being , that it is impossible for the film to arrive in june ( since it would need at least 6 weeks of sustained promotion ) and bringing both \u0091kaminey\u0092 and \u0091agyaat\u0092 in the month of july may not really be the best call taken by the production house .\nafter some research & going through the positive reviews , we , two families , booked & stayed on agyaat vaas on june 9 - 11 , 2017 . we were given elite category room no . 104 & 105 on the first floor .\nfilm - agyaat ( 2009 ) is made not for normal audience but for some\nagyaat\n( unknown ) audience i . e . known only to director ram gopal varma . for example , when i watched this film , the hall is practically empty , therefore it is confirmed that those agyaat audience were having gala time . the biggest horror that one experiences while watching the film in cinema houses is \u2013\nwhat the hell am i watching ? if anybody discovers that i have watched this film , what would he think of me ?\nif ramgopal varma continues to make such films , then i must say one should be scared not from film but from ram gopal varma . see ! there he comes with a sequel !\neven as bollywood release calendar is expected to go topsy - turvy once the stand off between producers and multiplexes comes to some resolution , ram gopal varma and utv motion pictures are sticking to the earlier announced release plans for their horror flick \u0091agyaat\u0092 . while there is a huge backlog of films that have accumulated over last two months and it is expected to be a nightmarish time for most producers to bring their films to theatre on priority , \u0091agyaat\u0092 is not buzzing from its 24th july release date .\nhowever , a source close to \u0091agyaat\u0092 further reaffirms that there is no way this film primarily set in a jungle would move ahead , \u201dwhatever happens , ramu\u2019s \u0091agyaat\u0092 releases on 24th july 2009 . the film is going to arrive with a bang because of quite a few factors . first and foremost , it has names like ram gopal varma and utv attached to it . secondly , it would be released in three languages \u2013 hindi , tamil and telugu . it\u2019s going to be one big film after the strike is called off . \u201d\nsurrounded by a dense silver - oak forest cover , from all sides the location stands true to its name , \u201dagyaat vaas\u201d . imagine escaping into the wild , leaving all your worries behind , among the majestic himalayas , with spectacular views of snow - capped peaks which include\nstarring nitin reddy , priyanka kothari , ravi kale , ishrat ali , harvey rosemeyer , kali prasad mukherjee , rasika duggal , joy fernandes , ishteyak and gautum rode in principal roles , \u0091agyaat\u0092 has music by bapi & tutul and is a thriller that revolves around the realm of fear .\nit is a fun experience for groups , families , friends and a romantic couple camping can also be a great idea . at agyaat vaas we have fixed camping experience which covers the mesmerizing areas of himachal pradesh like , hatu peak , jalori pass , sangla , nako and chandertal . .\nagyaat is a bollywood horror film by ram gopal varma starring nitin kumar reddy , gautam rode , and priyanka kothari . the film was released on august 7 , 2009 . it was dubbed and released simultaneously in telugu as adavi . the film is shot at sigiriya jungle in sri lanka .\ndate of journey - jan 24 , 25 , 26 , 2015 weather - fresh snow poured in that week before our arrival purpose - snow trek viewers ! we were 5 friends in this tour . it\u2019s the third time we had visited agyaat vaas in a span of 8 months .\nthen , as we were to return back on sunday , june 11 & learnt a day before from the agyaat vaas team about a religious closing ceremony at the hatu mata temple falling on the same day . it meant a lot of incoming traffic & jams from early morning on this 6 /\nas it always happens , we got the script of ramu\u2019s new film agyaat , through a friend\u2019s friends\u2019 friends\u2019 friend . the lokhandwala loop ! and we know the killer ! but it would be unfair to reveal the suspense . so , how about tickling your cinema cells a bit ! test your cq \u2013 cinema quotient !\nthe best part about agyaat vaas is its location ! you are surrounded by scenic beauty . there are many trails that can be done in half a day or one day . the people are wonderful , but the hotel and the service lacks the professional touch . they need training / hand holding to go to the next level .\nwhile \u0091agyaat\u0092 has started firming up its release plan , it would be interesting to see how \u0091kaminey\u0092 fits into the scheme of things . yet another utv motion pictures production , the promotion of this shahid kapoor and priyanka chopra starrer had begun in theaters a few months back but the sudden strike by producers resulted in aborted plans for the film .\nplanning an escapade . . . then you have come to the right place . . . agyaat vaas is just the apt place for nature lovers , travel junkies . . . this place provides you with an opportunity to detox your tried soul . . . be it with family members or friends . . the activities , the staff , the food . . .\nagyaat vaas is ranked # 2 among the 19 hotels in narkanda with an average rating of 5 . 6 out of 7 . it is one of the among 4 - star resorts in narkanda . on holidayiq , it has a total of 14 photos and 43 text reviews . it is rated top for its destination , location and appearance . it was also named winner of the better holiday awards in 2017 under great location .\nany time from now when the weather goes bad . please keep an eye on weather forecast do narkanda and that way you can come to know about snow . well best time to visit is between april to july first week . and then september october is also very nice . if you want to come to agyaat vaas then you should at least stay for two days . because you can not explore agyaat vaas surrounding in one day . and to give you idea of good locations around shimla at a fair distance is narkanda . . sarahan . . . you can also do to jalori pass . . . . narmand sarahan is also very nice place . if road conditions are not matters much to you you can explore pabber valley towards rohroo area . in this sector chanshill . . . guru ganga . . . hatkoti . . . kharshalli . . . deoru ghat are the highlights .\nwhat the hell ram gopal varma is thinking about the viewers ? i did watch the movie , i am upset at the end just because every viewer expects the story to uncover / disclose during the climax scenes . this great indian director is suggesting us to watch the next sequel to find the actual story of the movie . this is making the viewers as fools . this isn ' t fare in any regard . one more thing to say . . i hope he copied many a scenes from the telugu movie\nanumanaspadham\n. if in the next sequel he depicts\nsetu\nas the one who do all this murder - stuff , then i will give it ( agyaat 2 ) a 2 / 10 ( somehow i am giving 4 / 10 to agyaat 1 ) . surely , i am not waiting for the sequel . ( i am confident , he will ruin the viewers feelings )\nwith an idyllic setting amongst high mountain peaks and lush greenery , agyaat vaas is a charming resort that has a strong focus on nature . for added comfort and enjoyment , the accommodation supplies on - site dining and various adventure activities . ranging from simple standard rooms to duplex huts , the accommodation at agyaat vaas is basic yet cosy . each room boasts a television , but guests are likely to spend ore time looking at the dramatic views out the windows of many units . wi - fi and car parking are both offered by the resort . the bonus of a 24 - hour front desk also means that all requests and check - in times can be resolved efficiently . a tasty selection of meals can be enjoyed at the in - house restaurant , which is especially advantageous due to the resort ' s remote location . hatu temple is a 15 - minute walk from the accommodation , while hatu peak can also be reached in less than 20 minutes on foot .\nin the fixed trekking tour we take our guests to trekking trails which are full of natural splendor . it gives great pleasure to them as there is nothing like connecting with nature for trekking enthusiasts . starting from less adventurous to highly adventurous trekking , our fixed trekking tour will help you in having a great experience of relaxation . the guided trekking tours at agyaat vaas include trekking trips to , beautiful and breathtaking places like , mural danda , chandernan , chanshill , bhawa pin valley and pin parvati .\nin any case , utv motion pictures has quite a few films piling up for release and \u0091agyaat\u0092 along with \u0091kaminey\u0092 are not the only ones amongst the crowd . in months to come , the production house has movies like \u0091kissan\u0092 , \u0091aage se right\u0092 , \u0091paan singh tomar\u0092 , \u0091hook ya crook\u0092 , \u0091what\u2019s your rashee\u0092 , \u0091wake up sid\u0092 and \u0091johnny mastana\u0092 in the pipeline . this is not all as another arm of utv , utv spotboy , too has at least two films gearing up for release soon \u0096 \u0091main aur mrs . khanna and season greetings\u0092 .\nthe answer is f . option f ( o ) . the killer is a never seen before python that disguises itself as one of the crew members and will make a full confession of its gastronomic tendencies in a prime - time reality show called agyaat - 2 . unfortunately the show will only play in my nightmares . indian audiences may log in via pre - paid cards that will be tuned in to electrode signals connected to my brain . scientwists at the factory are trying to deciper my rem cycles and add sound / light fx for your viewing pleasure .\nram gopal verma is again with a horror flick . sorry i missed the earlier ones . but this one is really nice . for some obvious reasons i didn ' t like the movie . which are the item songs and much of a sex . . . else the movie is really good . the way the camera zooms is fantastic . the sound is very realistic . all the characters a have done a very good job . the locations are really exotic . i really wish i was there . now wait for the agyaat 2 don ' t miss it .\nram gopal varma is continuing to make films in heap . in 2008 , he made a hat trick with ' sarkar raj ' , ' contract ' and ' phoonk ' . and now in 2009 , he has completed shooting ' agyaat ' , his ' india 24 / 7 ' ( earlier titled rann ) is already underway while plans have been formalized to kick start the shoot of yet another film that has been interesting titled ' rakta charitra ' . over to ramu who divulges what ' rakta charitra ' is all about and the reasons that prompted him to make this film .\nlocation of the resort is a bit remote , but the staff met us on the way and escorted us to our destination . it was already dark when we arrived agyaat vaas . the staff is very helpful and they had stowed our luggage in respective rooms . when we woke in the morning , and came out of my cabin , i was awestruck ! ! the snow clad trans - himalayan range is visible and the scenic beauty is just breathtaking . i will surely be back again . . delicious food , friendly owner , helpful staff . . in short all - in - all : )\nin the best horror films , there are always patches when someone is closing their eyes , and clenching their fists , and clutching the person sitting next to them . there ' s not one such moment in ' agyaat ' , as the characters\u2014one number curvaceous heroine ( priyanka , previously nisha , kothari ) , one muscle - bound hero ( gautam rode ) , one love - lorn assistant director ( nitin reddy ) , and assorted others\u2014go round and round in circles trying to escape the vicious entity after their lives , leaving pools of bubbling blood behind . result : more blah than hold - me - please - i ' m - ssssscared .\nyou have fooled people by making agyaat , in the end of the movie u hv mentioned to be continued , when is the second part coming , you maadarchod , make some nice movies - rather fooling people . gaand ke baal . by submitting this review you are agreeing to the terms laid out in our copyright statement . your submission must be your own original work . your review will normally be posted on the site within 2 - 3 business days . reviews that do not meet the guidelines will not be posted . please write in english only . html or boards mark - up is not supported though paragraph breaks will be inserted if you leave a blank line between paragraph .\nover the past few years shimla has become extremely over populated , though it has its charm among chaos . but for all those who are in search of complete blissful solitude from the hustle and bustle of the city life , agyaat vaas is the place to be . situated on the hatu peak , this place is considered as the perfect getaway as it is one of top places to visit near shimla . the hairpin bends , steep curves , muddy paths are what makes the visit to this place even more enthralling and engrossing for the travellers . as customers happiness and safety comes prior to us we ensure and make each and every effort that not even a single day of their stay goes without action .\nmy rating here reads 10 / 10 . . . this is no way that great a movie , the only reason being an attempt to have the flick ' s overall rating up somewhat . now com ' n guys , this doesn ' t deserve 3 point something like numerous other rgv movies in the recent past . this is a sheer celebration of the whole process of outstanding movie making . . this is no way scary or for that matter anything entertaining , but phenomenal camera works coupled with good background score was enough to make me soak in the love of it . . people don ' t go for a movie to appreciate simply these very intricate aspects of movie making , agreed , . . and hence respect the usual ballyhoo surrounding agyaat ( n . b : no way here m i trying to allude to our highly film - educated critics ' reception , in fact they don ' t even deserve an allusion in movie discussions . god please make me understand this :\na one & half star out of 10 for a cult called no smoking ! ) nevertheless agyaat is a very sincere effort on rgv ' s part with some renewal of sense yet still holding on to his ' i don ' t give a sh * t to what u say ' infused cinematic attitude . . not sure , but maybe a better finish without really an urge for a sequel would ' ve been perfect . .\ni booked a 2 nights stay at agyaat vaas . we were 4 people and we choosed a single cottage with additional bed . let me share my honest experience with you people - we reached shimla early ( 5am ) than expected ( 6 . 30am ) , thanks to hp tourism volvo and smooth road , our expected time to reach agyaat vyas was 10 - 11am but we reached their by 8am . once we reach , i saw that there was no reception or manager to welcome us . we ignored it and settled in our 1 room cottage . my first impression was okay , not bad . . but it was just the trailor . we were informed that there is no electricity from past 2 days . i was shocked . consequently , our already dead phones , laptops were useless . there was no room service . our connection to our family was lost . it was a serious issue . there was no arrangement for electricity or a phone for emergency calls . 1 . location - location is good , no doubt . it is situated at high altitude , away from city life . that ' s the reason why we opted for this cottage . but in case of medical emergency , this cottage is not equipped with trained staff or resources . . the main city is 5 kms away . 2 . service - there is no service , as simple as that . . first of all , as there is no phone in room , you have to walk up all the way to common room ( which can be scary and dangerous at night ) . so . . .\nwas a great decision to choose agyaat vaas for a getaway from city life . had heard about the place through friends who visited last year . we were guided very well by the owner . . . from the route to be taken to the room that would suite our requirement & hassle free booking . we got a room in the new accommodation coming up there . elite valley view was a fairly large room with high ceiling , wooden interiors , large glass window with a view to the woods . loved the smell of fresh raw wood there . comfortable beds & neat linen . hot kettle was very useful . the staff was friendly & helpful . had regular indian food which was well made . the journey uphill from narkanda to the resort is a bit adventurous . . . . . . adds to the excitement of reaching the destination . ( in case required a backup vehicle or a driver is sent over ) agyaat vaas is located amid the most beautiful woods . in the radius of 4 - 5 kms are enchanting meadows of jobagh . . . covered with a carpet of tiny white wild flowers at this time of the year , beautiful mountain trails , interesting treks , apple orchards , cherry orchards , famous hatu temple & hatu peak to visit for perfect sunset / sunrise . our guide there ( sachin ) was well qualified in his field & made our treks around a pleasure . we stayed for 3 days , intending to extend our stay . . . but for the untimely rain . we pretty much got all that we can wish to relax , unwind and soak up the beauty around . would like to visit again sometime soon : )\nthe movie starts out with a promise even though there weren ' t any major stars . but once the similarity between this movie and the 80 ' s classic\npredator\ndawned on us , it lost most of it appeal . even one of the lines\nwhat the hell are you\nsaid by arnold schwarznegger was also coined by one of the characters . in\npredator\nthe characters were battle hardened mercenaries while here you have a film unit . rgv has an eccentric sense of film - making but we went to see it nonetheless because at least it was his original idea . but\nagyaat\nis just a poor man ' s\npredator\n. whenever he ' s tried to copy movies he has failed miserably take\nrgv ki sholay\nfor instance . either he is running out of ideas or the confidence to have any ideas . either way its a sorry state of affair .\ncan ' t believe why the producer would waste his money on such a movie doesn ' t he even ask what the script is about , first of all its a horror movie because you can ' t stand and watch as its so badly , directed and acted . rgv has made some excellent movies like company , bhoot , satya and sou have all the expectations . first all the actors in this movie can ' t act and even the songs are boring , the story is that a film crew goes into a jungle and one by one they all start dying , the director uses too much sound effects even when there is nothing going on in the scene , u don ' t even have to guess who is killing them its that lame . and they all start running in the jungle here and there and in the end suddenly u get the credits that there will be second part , i seriously doubt that because no producer will waste his money on agyaat part 2 .\nwell worst experience which you faced at our place you people have not been charged anything for that ( - if in case you have forgotten ) . and off course we are a place without modern amenities and we never adverstise agyaat vaas a\nluxury place\nas desired by you . . . its our policy to brief up each and every client about what all facilities they would be provided and in the worst of circumstances ( which occurs due to the extreme of weather conditions ) people due come across some problems as in power cuts . . . if there is no light in the area then it cannot be expected in our place as well . . . at such an high altitude like our ' s it is likable that there can be signal problems . . . . but one should consider the present harsh weather conditions - - - heavy downpour . . . one really cannot expect facilities . . . . as prevalent in cities . . . . and coming on to the prices they are high because of varied reasons all the stuff and fresh vegetables are fetched from 7kms away from the nearby market and water is also fetched from a distance of 18kms . . . and as far as the apology is concerned we have already done the same by not charging . . . !

my friend , most of the viewers will end up with the same feeling after watching this movie . out of some 1 hr and 40 min , i really enjoyed the movie for 1 hr 39 min . but last one min . spoiled it all when i found it ending in a style copied from evil dead - 1 . nothing else would add more to the disappointment of viewers than the message that appears saying -\ncoming soon - agyaat 2\n. anyways , if you could digest or forget that last minute , and are not curious of knowing about the culprit , you ' ll enjoy the movie . the presentation was exactly what i expected , just a bit too noisy than scary at certain points of time , but probably that was necessary as per the location of movie . two songs , digestibly placed , though i really don ' t understand the wording of any of them , but its all right . at certain points it gives that sudden fear , which is an integral part of such movies . the movie manages to make you stick to your seats and doesn ' t let you get bored . overall , i enjoyed the show and free popcorn and pepsi that i got !

paritala ravi was arguably the most feared individual ever in the history of the blood - ridden faction politics of south india . he was a prime accused in innumerable murder cases and also survived numerous assassination attempts , the most brutal of which happened on a quiet friday afternoon in november 1997 when a road near rama naidu studio in hyderabad was turned into a death field by a bomb which killed 26 people but failed to get its intended target ravi .\na quick google search reveals that he was one of the most dreaded men then .\nyes , he was . i , in the course of my life have read biographies of various people and have also come to know through various sources the life stories of many highly dangerous men including that of velupalli prabhakaran - the ltte chief , to pablo escobar - the columbian drug lord to our very own dawood ibrahim but all those stories pale in comparison to ravi ' s life story !\nterms of use : the views expressed in comments published on urltoken are those of the comment writer ' s alone . they do not represent the views or opinions of the indian express group or its staff . comments are automatically posted live ; however , urltoken reserves the right to take it down at any time . we also reserve the right not to publish comments that are abusive , obscene , inflammatory , derogatory or defamatory .\na film unit goes deep into a jungle for a shoot where people start dying in mysterious , violent ways .\nram gopal varma takes this one - line premise , and makes a two - hour movie . only a few scenes succeed in startling you . and you spend the rest of the time wondering where the director who gave us such splendid fear - fests as ' raat ' and ' bhoot ' has vanished .\nramu usually does well with jungles . his ' jungle ' had a fearsome cast , a striking bandit based on the late unlamented veerappan , and an ultra - sexy item number . his thickets in ' darna mana hai ' housed a genuinely scary ghost . in this one , the forest is satisfactorily dense , but the man - eating thing in there is much too invisible for its own good . it ' s just a loud screech in the distance , and a rushing furrow in the ground , both of which can happen in your neighbourhood well - manicured park , too .\nthe film ends with the declaration that a second part is in the works . help .\ncnn name , logo and all associated elements \u00ae and \u00a9 2016 cable news network lp , lllp . a time warner company . all rights reserved . cnn and the cnn logo are registered marks of cable news network , lp lllp , displayed with permission . use of the cnn name and / or logo on or as part of urltoken does not derogate from the intellectual property rights of cable news network in respect of them . \u00a9 copyright network18 media and investments ltd 2016 . all rights reserved .\nyou currently do not have any widgets inside off - canvas sidebar . add widgets in appearance > widgets > off - canvas sidebar .\nhurry !

story . \u201ca royal affair\u201d suffers from the richness of the historical material \u2014 there is so much going on here \u2014 and also , perhaps , from a patriotic desire to treat it reverently

modernity \u2014 to the banishment of superstition and religious authority , to the rule of law and the supremacy of reason \u2014 it is in almost every way a decidedly old - fashioned film . this is not necessarily a bad thing . stately , stagy expositions of history have their place in the world of entertainment , and the acting is both solid and agile , communicating the feelings of passionate people in a passionate time .\narcel had a much harder time locating a believable caroline .\ni auditioned almost every danish actress in the country but couldn ' t find anybody from denmark to play

! and that is completely not what i got . instead , royal affair turned into a sweet and kinky story with main characters i adored , antagonists i despised , and an author that has me stunned that this is her debut novel . dylan is my new book boyfriend . he\u2019s smoking hot , dominant / kinky as hell , polished and really sweet . his stalkerish tendencies were actually pretty cute , and i loved watching him fall in love despite himself . i was worried i would resent him for his \u201csex - only\u201d relationship request , but it was pretty apparent that there was more to this guy than met the eye . the fact that a royal fell for an every - day woman like lydia made him even more likeable . as i said , i was anticipating some eye - rolling on my behalf at lydia being a doormat and going along with this farce of a relationship , but i truly liked her ! she didn\u2019t allow herself to be walked over and i felt that her and dylan were a good match . she stood up to the \u201cearl of perv\u201d and gave as good as she got . the sex was also non - stop , so what\u2019s not to like ? !

review copy provided for a voluntary review .\nalthough the royal affair outrages the court , the idealistic struensee fails to see that it is his challenge to entrenched interests that will spell his downfall . goading the nobles ( who are unwilling to give up their privileges ) , the military ( which opposes demobilization ) and the general populace ( which fears foreign influence ) , guldberg and the dowager use every means possible to seize power .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\n4 royally amazing stars !

well this was interesting ! i requested the book because the blurb sounded promising enough to snap me out of my reading slump and it did ! i read this within hours and it was highly entertaining . this was a british version of fifty shades of grey with less bdsm and a royal twist and a devil wears prada combination . the hero is a wealthy son of a duke who doesn ' t do relationships and he has a thing for spanking . and stalking . and flying people over and buying expensive gifts . doesn ' t ring a\nroyal affair , parker swift review from jeannie zelos book reviews genre : romance , erotica so , a debut book i think , can\u2019t find any more by parker anyway . its always a gamble not knowing what writing style you\u2019ll get in a debut book , could be perfect for you or could be something you hate \u2013 i got lucky here , i love it . actually i\u2019ve had several really good , well written and fun debut reads this year . inevitably this will get fifty comparison . that trilogy has spawned so many others , some good , bu\nif the wedding of chaim halberstam and raiza meisels lacked the simple charm of a small ceremony ( there was a banquet for 5 , 000 ) , it did not lack fanfare . to many hasidic jews , the couple ' s marriage this week was nothing less than the royal wedding of brooklyn .\nstruensee finds him to be putty in his hands , easily influenced , and when they return to copenhagen , with caroline and a new royal infant , he stays on within the royal household . denmark at the time was a place where rich aristocrats ruled and such reforms as orphanages seemed dangerously radical . caroline , in love with struensee , also falls in love with what the doctor tells her about voltaire ' s politics , and she uses her influence with the king to change the nation ' s history .\n4 royally amazing stars !

worn theatrical trick of withholding important information from the spectators , is interesting throughout and at times supremely compelling . some of its scenes are continentally frank , they are not offensive nor more suggestive than is necessary to present the triangle of the self - absorbed husband , the neglected wife , and the human bird of prey .\nwell - shot and well - written , what really stands out from blind husbands is its narrative subtext . however , if you ' ve not seen this film , i would advise seeing it without spoilers . so , with that said , this is a simple yet poignant poignant film with one clear message : be good to your wife and trust her . we see this message constructed through a couple who are on holiday ; the husband about to climb a mountain in the dolomites . however , this\u2026\n\u201chere is a photoplay which excels because it is built on the solid foundation of a real idea , namely , the universal carelessness and inattention of husbands to their wives after , in common parlance , they have them securely bound by the gold or platinum band of domestic slavery . just so long as husbands allow themselves to take their wives for granted , to forget the little attentions and kindnesses after the honeymoon is ended , just so long will pretty young wives be the prey of don juans who appease them with pretty sayings and suave signs of devotion . \u201d motion picture magazine , 1920\nmaseru , lesotho\u2014 \u201cthat\u2019s how african men are , \u201d the woman said . she and two others laughed aloud at the infidelity of their husbands . their hearty , free -

and if the promise that is borne of his first performance as a director is fulfilled , the screen will be greatly enriched .\nyet while the government can seemingly ignore gender violence issues , it cannot turn a blind eye to aids . international attention to the high prevalence rate in lesotho and sub - saharan africa has increased . billboards , posters , and fliers on safe sex are almost everywhere , and free condom dispensers abound in public places and toilets .\nthe most interesting element of blind husbands comes from that it blames no one in this bizarre love triangle . there\u2019s no simple categorization of the characters , no assertions that armstrong is good and steuben is bad . steuben is a horny louse to be sure , but he also seems lonely and insecure , giving us some sympathy for him . armstrong is noble and good - hearted , but his coldness towards his wife , which appears to stem from her unwillingness to start a family , does stain his image as the perfect man . margaret is not some simpering ing\u00e9nue or thoughtless flirt , but a flesh - and - blood woman facing temptation in a moment of isolation .\ntogether , these three women are fighting two of the gravest problems that plague lesotho and sub - saharan africa today\u2014gender - based violence and hiv / aids\u2014and they\u2019re not entirely disparate plagues . \u201cthere is a strong connection between the two , \u201d mamakhete says . \u201cwomen have no agency and sexual rights . they are forced to have unprotected sex with their husbands even if the men have aids . \u201d\nat age 9 , she was writing poetry . by 17 , she was a single mother . in her early 20s , she danced at a strip joint , ran a brothel , was married ( to enistasious tosh angelos , her first of three husbands ) and then divorced . by her mid -

at 18 frames per second a difference of some 7 minutes to the austrian version with 2 , 045 metres . whereas we originally presumed only a negligible difference , resulting from the varying length of the intertitles , a direct comparison has nevertheless shown that the austrian version differs from the american version both in the montage and in the duration of individual scenes . yet how could it happen that the later regional distribution of a canonical us silent film was longer than the\noriginal version\n?\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\nmovies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide - release movies , 40 for limited - release movies , 20 for tv shows ) , including 5 reviews from top critics .\ntraveling with her husband in the swiss alps , a doctor ' s wife finds what she needs in the person of a charming , seductive military officer , who comes to final terms with her jealous mate atop a perilous mountain peak . erich von stroheim ' s first directorial work is cinematically and dramatically impressive .\nit ' s now noteworthy as a curio , but when first released it splashed von stroheim ' s name onto the international spotlight as a brilliant filmmaker .\nm ovie historians call erich von stroheim a realist because of his attention to authentic detail . stroheim rehearsed actors only less thoroughly than he designed sets and selected objects for them . but the most important element of his art is visual style , for its give us a sense that the objects and spaces he shows are real . without this sense , all the correct detail in the world would be useless .\nstroheim presents the characters and settings of each shot as directly as possible . actors rarely overlap one another ; all are fully visible ; yet he saves his shots from being flat tableaux by placing his actors at different distances from the camera and by enhancing their different depths with lighting . the way he places his\nrealistic\nobjects similarly use depth . prominent natural objects in the foreground play off objects in the background to make the space of each shot real and three - dimensional .\nin a seduction scene , for example , the foreground figures are backed up by cows and by trees and mountains in the far distance . for a hiking scene in the mist - - the most illusory of conditions - - rock outcrops in right foreground key the shot by giving us an immediate material object . contrasting with the figures in medium distance against the far rock - ledge , all the objects together establish real space between them . for stroheim there is no such thing as a general form or formal similarity between different objects . each object it its material self , nor is there one kind of object is its material self , no is there one kind of object .\nhis films establish a distinction between things as essences and things as symbols\n( sarris ) , and treat only the latter . there is not general motion ; action is local and concretely tied to the actor . the only universal is light .\nlighting and composition now join the themes to establish the mountain - peak as a place of purity and to contrast it with the lower world . a sampler in the officer ' s bedroom reads ,\nin the alps there is no sin .\nthough he takes it to mean\nall is permitted ,\nits meaning is that sin will be obliterated . as the officer and husband begin the ascent , a guide tells the wife they will be safe , if they only will eave their worldly attachments behind .\ns troheim shows the same tension between his characters ' aspiration to virtue and their weaknesses in greed ( 1923 ) . its plot follows a young dentist and his wife as they decline from security to poverty . stroheim , directly equating their material situation with their moral states , places them in real settings . at the same time he floods the early scenes with light , expressing in extraordinary art their wish for purity .\nwhen the dentist ' s practice fails , their basic greed - - attachment to material goods - - begins to tun them against each other , and the film becomes darker and darker as they and their material situation decline . white , recalling their former virtuousness , is now a mockery - - certainly in the scene where the dentist murders his wife next to a christmas tree in the dark . he then flees , but he is pursued by a rival . the film ends with their meeting in death valley .\nwith both the iconic and the new , these eight local boston and cambridge -

spoken messiahs .\nin \u201cbecoming\u201d san pedro calungsod , nacino told the sunday times magazine , \u201cthe experience of learning from him , through the portrayal of his character , renewed my faith in god . \u201d\nthis adventure movie is for everybody . the young boy who guided his blind mentor is something to witness and learn from . pedro calungsod ' s life of devotion is relatable to all .\npedro calungsod : batang martir opens with the titular character ' s grisly fate . the film comes to define its subject through this singular act of sacrifice . for most of the movie , calungsod is actually placed on the sidelines , a supporting character in his own film . it becomes painfully clear early on that the film has no insight to offer regarding its subject , never straying from a path of outright lionization . it makes for a terribly boring picture , since we don ' t really need a whole movie to tell us that a saint was a pretty good guy .\nvillacorta also said this is not the typical mmff film because this will give the audience a glimpse at what and how far christianity has gone since 1668 during the mission of san pedro calungsod .\n\u201cit is through pedro calungsod\u2019s involvement in the san diego mission where i based his story in the film , \u201d said writer -

four , in the visayas region of the philippines . his love for christ inspired him to train as a catechist with the jesuit missionaries there . in sixteen sixty - eight , along with other young catechists , he accompanied father diego lu\u00eds de san vitores to the marianas islands in order to evangelize the chamorro people . life there was hard and the missionaries also faced persecution arising from envy and slander . pedro , however , displayed deep faith and charity and continued to catechize his many converts , giving witness to christ by a life of purity and dedication to the gospel . uppermost was his desire to win souls for christ , and this made him resolute in accepting martyrdom . he died on the second of april , sixteen seventy - two . witnesses record that pedro could have fled for safety but chose to stay at father diego\u2019s side . the priest was able to give pedro absolution before he himself was killed . may the example and courageous witness of pedro calungsod inspire the dear people of the philippines to announce the kingdom bravely and to win souls for god ! \u2013 pope benedict xvi \u2018s canonization homily for saint pedro\nblessed pedro calungsod , young migrant , student , catechist , missionary , faithful friend , martyr , you inspire us by your fidelity in times of adversity , by your courage in teaching the faith in the midst of hostility , and by your love in shedding your blood for the sake of the gospel . make our troubles your own ( here mention your request ) , and intercede for us before the throne of mercy and grace so that as we experience the help of heaven we may be encouraged to proclaim and live the gospel here on earth . amen . \u2013 novena for blessed pedro calungsod\nhe said , apart from rocco , other actor he had in mind were paulo avelino , alden richards , and coco martin . but it was rocco who came on top of the list because he looks like the young saint and has already played pedro calungsod in a gma news tv docu - drama .\nwhile calungsod\u2019s importance in our country\u2019s history is indisputable , his significance as a compelling subject for a feature length film is an entirely different matter . if the film\u2019s narrative is anything to go on , calungsod\u2019s life is nothing more than a series of drudging sermons that ultimately lead to an untimely death on the beach .\nhe added he is working hard to show how different the two characters - - the priest in pedro calungsod and david in\nmy husband ' s lover\n- - are . he stressed that he is very dedicated to his role , and he doesn ' t want viewers to get confused with these characters .\nmetro manila development authority chairman francis tolentino announced today the eight official entries to the 39th metro manila film festival ( mmff ) which kicks off on dec . 25 . 8 out of 15 was included as finalists for this year\u2019s mmff mainstream category . eight official entries to the mmff 2013 : 1 . 10 , 000 hoursphilippine film studio inc . robin padilla , alden richards 2 . san pedro calungsod , batang martirhubo productionsjm de guzman 3 . boy , girl , bakla , tomboyviva films and star cinemavice ganda and maricel soriano 4 . please be careful with my \u2026\nthe missionaries arrived in the marianas where the young pedro , a trained catechist and mission assistant , worked for san vitores and helped in baptizing the islands\u2019 inhabitants .\none scene , though , that made a blogger smiled so sweetly as he watched the film was when st . pedro saw a big shell that landed on the bay . he held it strongly and listened to the sound and the music hidden underneath the big shell . and with the director\u2019s great mind concept , he let that sound be heard . oh , so wonderful\u2026 and you\u2019d soon know , it was the electrifying blue sea of st . pedro calungsod that made it all happen .\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153leaving family and friends behind , pedro willingly accepted the challenge put to him by fr . diego to join him on his mission to the chamorros . in a spirit of faith , marked by strong eucharistic and marian devotion , pedro undertook the demanding work asked of him and bravely faced the many obstacles and difficulties he met . in the face of imminent danger , pedro would not forsake fr . diego but as a good soldier of christ preferred to die at the missionary\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s side . \u00e2\u20ac\u009d\nrocco nacino plays the title character pedro , a trained catechist and mission assistant , who worked with fr . diego de san vitores ( played by christian vasquez ) .\n) remains largely inactive . as the personal assistant to jesuit father diego luis de san vitores ( christian vasquez ) , pedro spends most of his time doing things of someone else\u2019s accord . while the well -

by your courage in teaching the faith in the midst of hostility ; and by your love in shedding your blood for the sake of the gospel . make our troubles your own ( here mention your request ) and intercede for us before the throne of mercy and grace so that , as we experience the help of heaven , we may be encouraged to live and proclaim the gospel here on earth . amen .\n) for a mission to the marianas islands ( guam ) in 1668 . trained as a catechist , pedro assists fr . diego de san vitores in baptizing the chamorros , preaching the good news of salvation amid doubts , paganism and disbelief . together with other catechists and priests , the missionaries face the challenges and dangers of life in the missions , particularly the antagonism of the natives . undaunted by setbacks and the death of their companions , pedro and fr . diego continue their missionary work throughout the islands . in the end , both of them give up their lives for the sake of the gospel .\nthe san diego mission arrives in the marianas where the young pedro , a trained catechist and mission assistant , begins work for fr . diego de san vitores in baptizing the chamorro natives , preaching the holy gospel and spreading the good news of salvation through the christian faith amidst paganism , doubt and disbelief .\nwhile watching the film , i was reminded of the palme d\u00e2\u20ac\u2122or - winning the mission of roland joffe , which also explored jesuit missionary work , but in south america . there , jeremy irons and robert de niro represented conflicting philosophies on how to approach missionary work , and you had the added friction between church and state . it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s this aspect of shifting facets , depth and texture that the lack of real historical material on calungsod struggles to create . what i did like was how the film tries to humanize calungsod , as in the scene where he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s instructing a class of chamorro youngsters on the concept of our lord as shepherd .\nlord god , through your son jesus christ , you taught us that there can be no greater love than to lay down one ' s life for one ' s friends . your servant , pedro calungsod , inspires us by his fidelity in times of adversity , by his courage in teaching the faith in the midst of hostility , and by his love in shedding his blood for the sake of the gospel . we humbly ask you to raise him to the honor of the altar , so that we may count him among our intercessors in heaven for the glory of your name . we ask this through jesus christ our lord . amen\naside from being portrayed as a young playful person , calungsod was also personified as very passionate in his work . to make young natives appreciate better god as the good shepherd , he pretended to be a sheep and then a shepherd who would leave the herd of 99 just to look for that one sheep that\u2019s missing .\nmy lord , in your grace , you have shown through your servant , beato pedro calungsod , the sublime prize of following you ; through his martyrdom , you have shown us that age and race will not hinder us from serving and loving you ; his youthful fervor in defending the faith earned him the title to be called blessed ; thus in confidence , i humbly call unto him to pray with me , and to intercede for this urgent favor ( make a request ) and that through his glorious life , i may try to emulate him , together with mother mary , who have without reserve said yes to your will . amen .\nsome of the definitive fpj blockbuster films that have made an indelible mark in filipino culture are ang panday , hindi ka na sisikatan ng araw , batas ng . 45 , totoy bato , kahit konting pagtingin , iyo ang tondo , akin ang cavite , agila , dito sa pitong gatang , batang quiapo , isusumbong kita sa tatay ko , batas ng lansangan , at isang bala ka lang , and more on abs - cbn , studio 23 , cinema one , jeepney tv , and tfc .\nmigrant heritage commission ( mhc ) , the fil - am ministry of st . michael church and the valera law offices in cooperation with sapphire films , proudly present the world premiere movie of pedro calungsod , the second filipino saint . 2 : 45 - 4 : 30 pm . seating begins at 2 : 20 pm . williamsburg hall , st . michael the archangel parish . 805 wayne avenue , silver spring , md . tickets : $ 15 general admission ;

produced and directed by ashutosh gowariker .\nb . shankar ( shivaraj kumar ) is born and raised in delhi . he will be studying engineering at the banaras hindu university . he has a doting father b . sundara rao ( anant nag ) and a loud , annoying and a threatening mother . shankar has a younger brother , a pilot . shankar is content with his life , but something in his heart tells him this is not where he belongs . shankar\u2019s girlfriend ( who lives in delhi ) varalakshmi ( vidhya venkatesh ) is a kannadati . his college friend seetharam ( raju ananthaswamy ) from karnataka , teaches him kannada to talk with varalakshmi . when shankar returns to delhi , his mother plans to marry him off and he reluctantly agrees to meet his bride - to - be . in the party , during the conversation he realizes the letter\nb\nin his name is for\nbangaadi\n. but he doesn ' t know whether bangaadi is a person or a town , and is curious about its significance . when shankar is speaking in kannada with his brother over the phone for fun , his father hears it . and his father says ,\nspeak in kannada , my son . it has been so long since i have heard that language\n. then , shankar discovers he is a kannadiga and is happy that he ' s at least found his origin . his father confesses that his father ( shankar ' s grandfather ) abandoned his native but he didn ' t try to go back even once . shankar wants to discover his native .\nso , shankar visits seethram ' s home . there he realizes that bangaadi is a small village near seethram ' s home . then , he plans to visit bangaadi . there , shankar meets his grand - aunt , an old , frail woman who is delighted to see her brother ( shankar ' s grandfather ) reincarnated before her eyes . she tells the story of her life , and what led shankar\u2019s grandfather to flee . she shows him their family ' s land and asks him to help rebuild their house , which has fallen into disrepair . shankar ' s grand - aunt ' s master , shaanbog , avinash ) resents his arrival after all these years . he had a young , cheerful daughter srimathi ( rekha unnikrishnan ) , who teaches kannada to the small kids around . shankar seriously thinks about his grand - aunt ' s words .\nshankar returns to his home in delhi with the news for his father , wanting to return to bangaadi with his entire family ( including varalakshmi ) . however , none of them want to go with him . varalakshmi , who is practising medicine refuses to come with him as her career was important to her .\nwhen shankar comes to bangaadi , he initially faces many problems from shanbhog . but , somehow he successfully builds a bridge across the river , sets up a micro hydro electric project to generate electricity which can be used for fencing . he also starts to cultivate his land . he gets all help for his works from muttaiah ( krishnegowda ) . the love and respect shankar got from the village people in a short span of time makes shanbhog furious and envious on shankar . meanwhile srimathi loves him and dreams of a life with him .\nvaralakshmi once arrives to bangaadi , wishing to be him . but srimathi meets her and begs her to sacrifice her love for srimathi . varalakshmi does so and returns to delhi with a broken heart .\nshankar ' s hard work gain him reward and all the village people set off for a celebration for the crops harvesting time . during this , shankar ' s grandmother falls ill and breathes her last . shanbhog also restricts srimathi not to go out of the home . but her mother helps her to escape out of the house . she arrives to shankar ' s home . but at this time , she falls sick due to plague . shankar tries to take her to the city . but shanbhog , in anger destroys the bridge . so , srimathi breathes her last due to lack of medical treatment .\nfinally , shankar loses all hopes in his life and he is all set to leave bangaadi to return to delhi . then , his father , mother and varalakshmi everyone comes to him and says that they are ready to live with him in their native village , bangaadi . his mother learns kannada , varalakshmi sets up a clinic in that village while shanbhog , seriously shocked by his daughter ' s death becomes mentally challenged and begins to construct a bridge which he destroyed .\nalthough chigurida kanasu received critical acclaim , it did not do well at the box office .\nthis

language academy award entry .\nearly in the distinguished citizen , daniel mantovani ( oscar mart\u00ednez ) says the only thing he\u2019s ever done is escape the town of his youth . the truth is that his past sustains him more than he would like to admit .\namong the offshore titles that have played to acclaim are argentine dramedy el ciudadano ilustre ( the distinguished citizen ) from mariano cohn and gast\u00f3n duprat ; and french pics stephane briz\u00e9\u2019s une vie and fran\u00e7ois ozon\u2019s frantz .\n\u201cthe distinguished citizen\u201d was chosen by argentina\u2019s academy , whose president , juan jose campanella , was argentina\u2019s last foreign - language academy award winner , for \u201cthe secret in their eyes , \u201d which won in 2009 .\nat the heart of the distinguished citizen are questions about the nature of creativity , ownership of art , and the vagrancy of truth . there is enough virtue in daniel to keep the film\u2019s title from being entirely ironic , but the wicked fun of this story comes when he gives in to his baser instincts and proves no more or less \u201cdistinguished\u201d than his provincial counterparts .\nthe saying \u201cyou can\u2019t go home again\u201d \u2013 meaning you can\u2019t recapture the past \u2013 gets a witty and sarcastic examination in the distinguished citizen , a spanish comedy about a highly successful barcelona - based novelist returning to his small argentinian hometown for the first time in 40 years .\n\u201cthe distinguished citizen\u201d also took screenplay ( andr\u00e9s duprat ) and best actor for oscar martinez , who plays a nobel prize laureate returning to his birthplace in the argentine sticks , only to clash with the very same argentine provincialism whose critique has inspired his writings .\nmadrid \u2014 gaston duprat and mariano cohn\u2019s \u201c the distinguished citizen , \u201d a lament for small - town small - mindedness , won big at the 4th platino ibero - american film awards taking its top best picture prize , and multiple further plaudits .\nthough \u201cthe distinguished citizen\u201d was most probably the frontrunner among pundits , argentine academy members faced the most - open field in three years , after damian szifron\u2019s \u201cwild tales\u201d was selected as its candidate in 2014 , and went on to score a nomination , and pablo trapero\u2019s \u201cthe clan\u201d represented argentina in 2015 .\nthat said , the distinguished citizen , which was shot digitally , looks cheap and has no real cinematic qualities , which , taken together with the fact it is pleasant but doesn\u2019t dig all that deep , makes its appearance in the venice competition this year a bit of a surprise .\na dramedy which builds into a finally swinging put - down of small - town provincialism , \u201c the distinguished citizen \u201d has several things going for it : it won oscar martinez a volpi cup best actor award at the venice film festival . drawing a long applause at its audience screening in venice , it garnered generally positive reviews at the italian festival as an arthouse crowdpleaser . distributed by disney in argentina , \u201cthe distinguished citizen\u201d earned \u20ac1 . 25 million ( $ 1 . 4 million ) in box office after two weekends at the argentine box office .\nour annual argentine film series begins with a sneak preview of the country\u2019s official oscar submission . the distinguished citizen stars oscar mart\u00ednez as a nobel laureate who returns to his hometown after decades away to accept an award . discussion after the feature , followed by a reception for all ticket holders .\nbut when a curious offer appears , to accept the \u201cdistinguished citizen\u201d award from the small argentinian backwater of salas , mantovani\u2019s birthplace ( and the inspiration for much of his fiction ) , the writer senses a chance to reconnect with his roots and maybe even find inspiration in a town he hasn\u2019t stepped foot in for over 40 years . the distinguished citizen is a deliciously dark and sharp comedy as this big -

- and then he leaped .\nhitchcock ' s terror never occurs when his heroine enters the sinister passage ; it happens in daylight , without warning . he had a lot of fun bumping off janet leigh while she was taking a shower in\npsycho\n( 1960 ) . who would expect the star to be killed right at the beginning of the movie ? and in a shower ?\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\na despised cavalry commander is unfairly blamed by his troop for the death of a popular officer and must redeem himself in front of his men during an indian attack on the fort .\nan interview with terry gilliam , director of\nthe man who killed don quixote .\n) , who has been held captive for many years , and her son ( noland clay ) . sam agrees to escort the pair to a train station , but along the way he discovers that the boy\u2019s father is salvaje ( nathaniel narcisco ) , a feared and murderous\nfuture learning and skills \u2013 giving everyone the opportunity to build a lifelong relationship with film .\n, a tough , somber western which ranks with the best that decade has to offer .\nwhile there ' s definitely some good action to be found here ( especially during the rousing climax ) , it ' s brief and infrequent by action movie standards . the film proves to be less about adventure or even politics during the british raj than it is a character drama about codes of honor , friendship and fatherhood . these themes run throughout the movie , but it rarely comes off as heavy - handed or turgid , due to director henry hathaway ' s light touch , the script ' s cheeky sense of humor and the consistently wry , charismatic presence of cooper and tone . their prickly friendship , forged out of equal parts respect , competitive one - upmanship and soldierly bonds , proves the highlight of the film .\nc . aubrey smith was the absolute epitome of the\ni say , sah !\nschool of grizzled brit military man , and his presence in this sort of movie lends it an instant authority . the ( very caucasian ) douglas dumbrille as khan seems a reach casting - wise , even for the time , but he brings a nice tinge of oxford - educated , silky menace to the part . kathleen burke is given even less to do than joan fontaine was in gunga din , just a mere tool to get the plot rolling .\nto single out the diver in this frame , i use the quick selection tool and trace around his outline . don ' t worry about making your selection perfect at this point .\narnold and griff wait for the petrakis to bring in a boat full of sponges , then hijack the lot , after threatening to cut mike ' s airline with an axe . this encounter sets off a chain of events which rapidly escalate as tensions rise , including brawls , sabotage , boat burning , and a burgeoning romance between rhys\u2019 free - spirited daughter , gwyneth ( a luminous terry moore ) , and the handsome , headstrong tony . needless to say , as times get increasingly desperate , the harder it is to resist the siren call of the sponge - rich , dangerous currents that lurk beneath the 12 - mile reef . . .\nhitchcock would have put an extra beat into the scene : eva marie saint pausing a moment before going into the bedroom , then going in and nobody is there . she sighs , relaxes , comes out into the room she had just left -

breed son to the nearest stagecoach stop , so they can begin their own lives anew . as one might expect , however , the trip through apache country turns into a perilous journey for this trio of travelers .\n; spillane built this gap in time into his novel , and the movie opens similarly , with mike as a down - and - out bum . after a botched protection gig which ended in the disappearance - and presumed death - of his beloved secretary , velda , mike has crawled into the bottle and become a deadbeat drunk for several years , earning the contempt of his old pal on the force , pat chambers ( scott peters ) . but all it takes is a whispered deathbed tip from a fatally - wounded government agent , telling him velda is still alive and in hiding , to immediately sober mike up and set him on an implacable path to track her down . the dead agent was killed by a former soviet assassin codenamed the dragon , and velda is next on the hit list .\nin many ways the spiritual precursor to the much better known gunga din , the lives of a bengal lancer is a rousing tale of heroism , friendship , and fidelity to a cause . based ( very loosely ) off the autobiography of francis yeats - brown , it ' s not as opulent a production nor nearly as action - packed as gunga din , but is still great fun to watch .\na bandit kidnaps a marshal who has seen a map showing a gold vein on indian lands , but other groups are looking for it too , while the apache try to keep the secret location undisturbed .\nthese are the amazingly useful tools we have loved since adobe updated lightroom classic cc to 7 . 3\nwhen approached by ok ! online , the bbc said that\nno decision has been made\n.\nthis excellent plot poses a moral dilemma that keeps you reading right along . a 37 -

famous , expertly crafted and fiendishly clever plots , is a focus on witty dialogue - a skill amply displayed by the author in many of her novels , though one seldom remarked upon by her critics .\nyou keep wanting to hear that deep , resonant voice of his , and you realize how much of peck\u2019s performance was in the way he spoke lines . physically , he lacks the athletic presence of a cowboy actor like randolph scott . the costumers have hidden him inside a fleece - lined coat much of the time , and with his flat - brimmed hat he bears maybe too much resemblance to a forest ranger .\nmike ' s take on the movies somehow manages to keep up the killer pace of reviewing a movie nearly every day - as any blogger knows , no mean feat . today he takes a look at r\nthe funeral for a woman killed in mcintosh county late last month was held on saturday . katie kettles sasser was shot and killed with another man , john hall , at hall ' s home . her estranged husband , robert corey sasser , is the only suspect in the tolomato island double homicide . glynn county officers found him dead in his truck after a short chase and standoff . sasser is a former lieutenant with the glynn county police . wtoc got a look at body camera video from the incident that . . .\ncontinue to work your through the frames , following the above steps until each frame of your sequence has been selected , copied as a layer , and your sequence is complete . i started with a total of eight layers , but left some out after deciding the final product was just too busy . i suggest starting out with just a few until you get the hang of it and develop a few shortcuts for yourself .\nyou may find it helpful to search within the site to see how similar or related subjects are covered .\nit got off to a brilliant start with five million so their hopes were up , but the ratings for episode two are bleak . the fact so many people have turned off after episode one is very telling . with such low figures so early into the series they will struggle to build it back up again .\nof the book poirot . his is a poirot who lurks around corners , seemingly everywhere , waiting like an eavesdropping vulture ready to pounce on a juicy morsel of gossip or confessional aside from the boatload of suspects assembled here .\nan elderly woman was severely beaten , shot and raped following a home invasion in the historic huntridge park neighborhood .\nthere is a heavy police and fire presence at a house on granite way in the stonegate subdivision in wetumpka .\nthe story of three teenaged tearaways johnnie , bill and bert who find themselves at odds with society . following a brush with the law they have a chance meeting with a local choirmaster who offers them a way of making good .\nthis seems to have been mulligan\u2019s only western . if screenwriter alvin sargent wrote any other western scripts , this seems to have been the only one to make it to the screen . he\u2019s better known for his adaptations of lillian hellman\u2019s julia\nwhether mulligan and sargent achieved what they set out to do with this film is hard to guess . in a story about a woman abducted by indians , they seem to have been after more realism than a similar western , comanche station ( 1960 ) , reviewed here a while ago . and the result is strangely cool , a story told in a minor key , as is much of the music track . accounting for the fact that she is still alive , saint says to peck , \u201ci didn\u2019t have the courage to die . \u201d that desolate and traumatized tone pervades the movie .\ni ' m better now . in fact , i ' m determined to enjoy myself . it ' s so blissful here , so tranquil , so far from all violence and trouble . yes , you are right , madame ; the sky is blue , the sun is shining , and yet you forget that everywhere there is evil under the sun .\nthe 5 -

( source : ann )\njust like the title indicates , my own ending to how bagi should have gone . afterall , the ending was sad , plus ryo and bagi are just adorable together .\noccasionally one may come across one of those old anime made in the 80s , and despite not liking 80s art or 80s anime , winds up loving it anyway . bagi , the monster of mighty nature , is one such anime movie . perhaps the enjoyment of this movie can be attributed to osamu tezuka , who many consider to be a master of manga . he ' s done a few anime as well , such as black jack and kimba the white lion . i particularly enjoy his artwork , as it looks a bit different and kind of nice , and even the , what i would consider , ugly art of the 80s doesn ' t affect\nan aesop : two , actually :\nall living beings deserve to live\nand\ndon ' t mess with nature\n.\nbagi , the monster of mighty nature i never would have learnt about the horrors of genetic engineering and biotechnology if it wasn ' t thanks to osamu tezuka ' s raw creative and political passion . i would ' ve remained blind to such sinful things like mutant cacti , creepy hypnotic dancing catgirls or the devil ' s rice ball . i have seen the light . from henceforth , i shall dedicate the rest of my life to fighting this horrible scientific practice to ensure that no one else shall become a . . . victim of science . now , would anyone happen to know where i can get me one of those nifty laserlighters ?\nfrom 1975 - 1976 , osamu tezuka also wrote a manga titled daichi no kaoyaku bagi ( \u5927\u5730\u306e\u9854\u5f79\u30d0\u30ae ) , which would probably translate as\nbagi , the boss of the mighty earth\n, with\nboss\nin the sense of\nleader of a gang\n. see also the manga ' s article on japanese wikipedia ( there are no writings on it in english that i can find ) .\n: ryo hunting down bagi five years later , the latter apparently attacking and killing villagers .\nin the original dragon ball , it ' s implied many people on earth are part monster , animal , and the like . earth being a world of weirdness at that point .\nthe original mighty atom manga stories were later published in english - language versions by dark horse comics in a translation by frederik l . schodt . they followed the television series by keeping the character name as\nastro boy\n, the name most familiar to english - speaking audiences , instead of\nmighty atom .\nnames of the other characters , such as doctor tenma and professor ochanomizu , are those of the original japanese .\nonly friend : bagi tells ryo this repeatedly , affirming how much she trusts him .\n) ruin , it ' s mylene ' s hybrid nature that unlocks the final chamber , allowing the ruin ' s computer to see that the different races had stopped fighting and had children together .\nnot the answer you ' re looking for ? browse other questions tagged bagi or ask your own question .\ni have not read this manga or watched the movie , but japanese wikipedia appears to suggest that the contents of the manga and movie are mostly unrelated - the bagi in the manga is a jaguar , while the bagi in the movie is a mountain lion - turned - human ( i think ? ) .\nryo and bagi sneak into the laboratory and force the director to talk . they find that ryo ' s mother was the creator of the experiment , and that bagi was one of the escaped animals , and the only survivor . they also find ryo ' s mother is now at south america , and travel there to demand explanations .\nat the end of the manga of spice and wolf , the wolf goddess horo from the human lawrence is pregnant .\nas the movie begins , ryo and a boy called chico are stalking a monster terrorizing the countryside . while they wait for bagi to appear , ryo explains that he knows her well , and tells the boy about how he first met her , and why is he now trying to kill her .\none day the gang was riding about town , when its leader spotted a young woman , and decided to chase her , just for fun . when finally catching up with her , he discovers , to his horror , that the\nlady\nis , in fact , some sort of monster , who immediately starts to attack one gang member after another . when only ryo is left , the monster - lady looks at him , but does not harm him , and runs away . after the rest of the gang comes back to their senses , the leader swears to find the monster - lady who attacked them , and take revenge .\nkonami developed and published their mighty atom video game for the nintendo family computer system in 1988 . it is known for its extreme difficulty level attributed to a one - hit death rule .\nyes . i learned there was a sequel to bagi produced by makoto tezuka . the synopsis to the story is found here . urltoken\nthe scene between bagi and professor ishigami is heavily inspired by walt disney ' s snow white and the seven dwarfs . even the heart box shows up .\ntezuka osamu ' s tale of a genetically engineered pink american mountain - lion named bagi and the friendship she develops with ryo , a lonesome bike gang member .\nit is revealed bagi had\nmatured yet again\n, resulting in the sudden loss of much of her intelligence . for all intents and purposes , she ' s reverted back to a wild feral animal . whether this was a case of writer cop out , executive meddling , or creator breakdown is unclear . osamu definitely wanted to convey the message that man needs to learn that meddling with nature is morally wrong , a noble cause , but regrettably , poorly executed in the final arc of the story at the expense of a main character ' s development .\nthey find an abandoned house , when they suspect she might live , and decide to wait for her inside . when darkness came , the leader sends ryo for a lookout outside . right then the monster returns , and attacks the gang once again . ryo turns to the door , expecting to be attacked next . when the monster walks out , she turns out to be half - woman , half - cat . she talks , and tells him that she is bagi . terrified of what he saw and hears , ryo gets on his motorcycle , and rides home as fast as he can .\nwithout a doubt . there is a sequel to this called\nbagi , boss of the earth\nthat i have been looking for . the sequel was produced by tezuka ' s son .\nschodt , frederik l . ; the astro boy essays : osamu tezuka , mighty atom , and the manga / anime revolution page 161 stone bridge press ( 2007 ) isbn 978 - 1 - 933330 - 54 - 9 ( pbk . )\nwhat i ' m writing here is about a sequel to that tv movie that i ' m presently working on called\nbagi - the lost years\nwhich is in manga ( comic ) format , of course , and is only appropriate . it tells the story of what happened to bagi during the nine years she left ryosuke ishigama as a child and reunites with him nine years later . it also tells ( how i imagine it ) the story of what happens to bagi and ryo after ryo leaves her for dead in a south american desert .\nnotes : that ' s not a typo , sanrio actually partially funded this film . this probably explains why bagi is a badass pink catgirl . bagi has also been romanized as\nbaghi\n( as in bagheera ) and , hilariously , baggy .\napparently , it ' s a family trait of the senroh clan , earning them the title of immortal monsters .\nrealizing what she has done , ryo ' s mother changes her mind , and sacrifices herself by giving bagi all the poisoned rice . she is killed by the president for this , but ryo mistakenly believes bagi did it , and spends several years training with a gun to have his revenge .\nbagi has got to be one of the most underated and also deeply moving of tezuka ' s work . i love this film . but i wonder if it ' ll ever get a proper restored dvd or bluray release .\nbagi ( sometimes known also as\nbhagi\nbut never\nbaggy\n) was the result of that recombinant dna research . she ' s a pink half - human / half - cougar woman and is the main protagonist of that film .\ninterspecies romance : it ' s quite obvious that bagi loves ryo very much . ryo on the other hand , doesn ' t ever catch on .\nthe head of the imperial guards of monica . he has a habit of stroking his mustache with both hands ( the left had for the left side and the right hand for the right side ) he is encountered mistaking ryo and a driver for rebels after he and bagi highjack a circus truck via bagi ' s hypnosis . after making bagi perform a jump through a thirty - meter flaming coil ( through threat of exicution ) , he knocks bagi and ryo out and takes them to the cucaracha research lab without their knowledge . he ' s seen again with the president as he and professor ishigami discuss the change in the genetically - engineered rice before they found out it had a strong poison in it . when ryo tried to escape , sado attempted to start a sword fight with him . this leads to doing so on a pair of bikes . sado meets his possible end when he falls off the tower of the research lab . it is also possible that he may have survived .\nwhen he was a little boy , ryo ishigami received a present from his father : a pink kitten , whom he named bagi . as the little cat grew , it started to show signs of intelligence beyond a normal animal . she tried to read , write and walk on hind legs . the boy ' s father was terrified that the kitten could be a mutant of some sort , and decided to get rid of bagi , despite the ryo ' s protests ( he and the cat had become very good friends by that point ) . however , the father did not have to do anything , for bagi had escaped .\nthat ' s probable my favorite version of cheetah out of all her incarnations .\nmeanwhile , ryo manages to free bagi , but discovers she ' s going feral and already finds it difficult to stand and speak .\na mexican boy who suspects that bagi killed his father and decided to take revenge on his own first . he then meets ryo and gave him information about a possible sighting of\nprofessor ochanomizu / doctor ochanomizu / dr . packidermus j . elefun , head of the ministry of science\nbagi - - the section where they arrive in south america and bagi changes from ally to adversary is just really badly handled , which , i guess , is what happens when you create a movie as reactionary propaganda rather than as a story on its own right . ( like , say ,\npress j to jump to the feed . press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts\nin the end , ryosuke was content with letting bagi roam free in republic of monica . but two years have now passed , and ryo , who is being plagued by dreams of the feline , is now having second thoughts about breaking the only promise he ever tried to keep .\na pink cat - woman genetically modified with the dna of a human . she and her mother were the only living animal survivors of the lab animal outbreak at the\nkeywords suggestion tool used bagi keyword to suggest some keywords related from this domain . if you want more , you can press button load more \u00bb\nfrom what i heard , the writers of\nthe departed\nare on it .\nbagi was very interested in finding out where she came from and whether there are more like her , so she and ryo went to visit the place where she was found , near ryo ' s mother ' s lab . by talking to people in the area , ryo finds that around the time bagi was found , animals escaped from the lab and were ruthlessly exterminated .\nastro boy was described by schodt as an\nanalog ,\na world where man and advanced technology coexist . as a result , the plots of the astro boy stories often involve issues that stem from this idea . when astro boy was created in the 1950s and 1960s , japan did not have the reputation for science and technology that it had gained by 2002 . this made the\nanalog\nnature of astro boy unique . [ 8 ]\n, but her mother was eventually hunted down . bagi ' s wandering ended in becoming ryo ' s\npet cat ' . she left for nine years after neighbors became suspicious of her .\nwill mark the 80th anniversary of the birth of osamu tezuka with a major season of feature films , short films and television episodes curated by helen mccarthy , many of which will be screening in the uk for the first time . alongside this , barbican film will present an exhibition of tezuka ' s drawings .\n. all diclonii , drones included , can infect humans with a virus that causes all future offspring to be diclonii drones , incapable of reproducing sexually . these drones are also always female . however , there is one diclonius , the queen , who can reproduce sexually , and if her mate were human , her offspring would probably be some kind of half - human hybrid . there are a bunch of powerless male half - human diclonii wandering around , probably a result of something of that nature happening up in the family tree .\n, and then gets the idea to use a poisonous genetically - engineered rice created there to eliminate guerrilla rebels that have been opposing his government for years , as well as anyone else who opposes him . when prof . ishigami refuses to cooperate with his plan , he has her killed by his attack dogs . his plans are ultimately defeated thanks to bagi and ryo , bagi escaping the lab with the only samples of the rice while ryo destroyed the lab .\n, but not by bagi as ryo mistakenly assumes . in her last letter , she expresses great regrets about being a bad scientist and a bad mother .\nryo ' s mother as well as an important leading research professor at the superlife center , believing that anything could be improved with science . she was responsible for the creation of bagi and her kind . after the president forced her to mass - produce the poisonous rice balls , she had a change of heart due to feelings of guilt , and decided to follow her conscience . she is\ntengen toppa gurren lagann has the beastmen , a race of hybrids that serve as the antagonists for the 1st season .\n. this is hinted at in the last episode of the anime , but never said outright .\nand , of course , shirokuma cafe . panda -

r copy of it later on in the mid - 2000s , i even had a crush on bagi since as she is one of my catgirl and furry loves . does this movie remind you of that batman tas episode ?\npeople who don ' t know the context of this are really going to get the wrong idea .\nit kind of does in kind of a way . it does borrow some elements but it ' s not all the same .\nthe site notes variety japan reports that first day box office receipts of ponyo is 83 % of spirited away . japan times '\n: bagi is a human / cougar hybrid created in a lab ( although she has pink fur ) . she ' s somewhat rare in being pretty much human behaviorally as well . she also has psychic powers of hypnosis .\nlist of potential candidates to be sacrificed in the summoning of an ancient being . crossed out names mean they have lost their purity in the mean time .\nthey ' re all descendants of genetically engineered research experiments who escaped shortly before the end of mankind . despite having only minimal animal features , they were on the level of lab rats and dissected for research .\nsummer wars is a good anime movie with some furry avatars . it ' s essentially a non -

- less because she ' s a catgirl , more because ryo partially raised her .\nwas never officially released in the united states , therefore you will never find a legal commercially - released retail english version of it for sale anywhere . it really is unfortunate that bagi was never officially released here commercially , because then maybe more members of the furry fandom would know about it . this anime is a pretty good one , and many of the themes that it touches on are extremely pertinent to our fandom .\nin berserk there is the young girl isma , which is the daughter of a human and a mermaid .\nwritten by akira himekawa , the plot , as well as the character designs , loosely followed that of the 2003 anime series . the artwork is quite different from tezuka ' s original . this version of the manga was published in english by\nit ' s a series of stories starting with\nthe perfect solider\n, going on through other stories such as\nlittle phoenix\n,\ndana ' s tale\n,\nthe weight of anger\n,\nlost cause\n,\nbaretta ' s tale\n,\nthe final solution\n,\nthe grand illusion\n,\nawakening\nand , finally ,\nbagi -

existing print run of battle angel alita . anime retailers including anime nation and\nthe characters is where this movie shines . while many are archetypical , from the bad guy working for a good cause who regrets their work after a higher up uses it for evil to the delinquent school kid gangster character , this movie uses plenty of archetypes . still , the characters are very likeable and a few are even downright cool . bagi in particular was an interesting character since bagi had a very fleshed out personality . bagi could seem to be a dangerous monster at times , could be an beautiful romantic at times ( which for some may seem very weird considering she ' s a pink cat girl , and unlike other cat girls in anime , this one is very furry , rather than just having cat ears and maybe a tail ) , and could even seem like a poor distressed girl trying to find out her own identity . bagi had an identity crisis . having been made in a laboratory , she couldn ' t figure out if she was human or animal , and she wondered if there were others like her . she is someone you could care for . someone you could respect . its even worse in that the character begins to turn feral as time goes on , and this is particularly distressing to many .\nhammerspace : when ryo ' s mother feeds the animals the rice she created , a dog pulls out a bottle of water and adds drops to his share of rice .\nin south america they are captured and brought into the laboratory . ryo ' s mother is unrepentant and wants to kill and dissect bagi . while she ' s demonstrating her genetically improved rice to the president of the country they ' re in , she discovers her experiment failed and the rice is poisonous . however , the president is happy with that as well , and wants to use it to poison the resistance .\ntouma , one of the top masters of the art of ruining scenes , and shows , simply by being in them ! other examples of this character -

sands of destrucion has a few anthros . knights of sidonia has a bear lady .\nin reality , the vast majority of hybrids are virtually identical to their human parent and lack most of their ghoul parent ' s abilities . their enhanced physical abilities and significantly shortened lifespan make them ideal as disposable tyke bombs for the ccg . arima , the oldest of the hybrids , reveals that he is dying from old age . . . . . at the age of 32\nbadass normal : ryo slowly becomes this during the course of the film . semmen bond is implied to be one .\ntrue , but most of the characterization sonoshee does get is basically the stuff in femmeworth ' s list up there .\nthe movie set in the present . moreover , a special technique is used to improve the story ' s reality ; the story synchronizes with actual time , as in the old a duel at midday or the recent nick of time .\ndeep in the south american jungle , a japanese hunter named ishigami ryosuke is hired to hunt a ferocious monster that has been terrorizing the villagers . the truth is that he is very familiar with baghi . . . for she is a bioengineered cat - woman , and ryosuke remembers when she was just a kitten who started showing human traits . but over the course of years , things go horribly awry , and now ryosuke must steel himself to end baghi ' s journey once and for all .\ntheir disappeared dad , professor kentarou go , is actually a fallen prince of the boazanian empire , a victim of his people ' s fantastic caste system .\nkaiketsu zorori is a more childish anime , but it ' s pretty fun . the entirety of the cast is furry .\nbagi was his\npet\nwhen she was not yet fully grown . he reunites with her on his 15th birthday and becomes a hunter five years later , mistakenly believing her to have killed his mother .\nand we finish the season off with an optimistic return to the status quo , only with more damage done . definitely not the worst type of finale .\nin the familiar of zero , tiffania had a human father and an elf mother . other than inheriting the power of the void and gag boobs from her father ' s bloodline ( both of these traits are unusual in an elf ) , she looks just like any other elf .\n,\nwhich was written and directed by him in 1984 as a protest against gene recombination , that was being legalized in japan during that time . . it is a tale of a genetically engineered pink american mountain -

highest - ranking officer at the u . s . strategic command\u2014the organization responsible for all of america\u2019s nuclear forces\u2014 - was investigated last summer for allegedly using counterfeit gambling chips at the horseshoe casino in council bluffs , iowa . according to the iowa division of criminal investigation , \u201ca significant monetary amount\u201d of counterfeit chips was involved . giardina was relieved of his command on october 3 , 2013 . a few days later , major general michael carey , the air force commander in charge of america\u2019s intercontinental ballistic missiles , was fired for conduct \u201cunbecoming an officer and a gentleman . \u201d according to a report by the inspector general of the air force , carey had consumed too much alcohol during an official trip to russia , behaved rudely toward russian officers , spent time with \u201csuspect\u201d young foreign women in moscow , loudly discussed sensitive information in a public hotel lounge there , and drunkenly pleaded to get onstage and sing with a beatles cover band at la cantina , a mexican restaurant near red square . despite his requests , the band wouldn\u2019t let carey onstage to sing or to play the guitar .\nthis doesn\u2019t seem out of line with the play\u2019s ambitions . the period setting and creaky detective plot serve several functions in an inspector calls , but one of them is surely a kind of snake - charming : because the play takes its place so unthreateningly in the theatrical tradition of the drawing - room thriller , its political aspect can be more easily dissimulated . as the action is located within the moral strictures of the detective story , it forces audiences to consider its drama of capital and social class as a sequence of decisions about personal morality .\nin addition to writing material for kaye , she also wrote music for two otto preminger films : the moon is blue ( 1953 ) and t he man with the golden arm ( 1955 ) . the man with the golden arm was a departure for fine who generally wrote music for comedic performance . the film , starring frank sinatra , eleanor parker , and kim novak , was a drama telling the story of a heroine addict\u2019s struggles after being released from prison .\nis the vice president of privacy & fraud prevention and recovery at harvard pilgrim health care ( harvard pilgrim ) . mr . walsh is responsible for overseeing harvard pilgrim\u2019s privacy program and the development , implementation and adherence to the organization\u2019s policies and procedures covering privacy , access and patient health information in compliance with federal and state laws . he also leads harvard pilgrim\u2019s efforts to detect , investigate and prevent fraud , waste and abuse by providers and members against harvard pilgrim . prior to joining harvard pilgrim in 2012 , mr . walsh was a prosecutor for over seventeen years in the commonwealth of massachusetts . in 2011 , attorney general martha coakley appointed mr . walsh to the position of chief of the criminal bureau in the massachusetts attorney general\u2019s office . in that position , he oversaw a bureau tasked with prosecuting major white collar felonies , enterprise and organized crimes , cybercrimes , insurance and unemployment fraud and environmental crimes . he had previously served four years as chief of the attorney general\u2019s medicaid fraud division , which is responsible for investigating and prosecuting fraud committed against masshealth , the state\u2019s medicaid agency .\non august 1 , 2013 , your office opened an investigation against representative cepeda for \u201cabuse of public function\u201d and \u201cprocedural fraud . \u201d the investigation relates to interviews representative cepeda carried out in various prisons with ex - paramilitaries about former president \u00e1lvaro uribe\u2019s alleged ties to paramilitaries , which he subsequently submitted to prosecutors . the inspector - general\u2019s office\u2019s investigation is based on a complaint filed by mr . uribe\u2019s lawyer alleging that representative cepeda was authorized to visit prisons to verify the human rights conditions in detention centers\u2014and not to conduct interviews about paramilitary crimes\u2014and that he knowingly delivered false information from the interviews to justice authorities . mr . uribe has also alleged that representative cepeda gave money to the family of one of the ex -

comedy . \u201d prime\u2019s new writers , pegged as the hot young creative team of don calame and chris conroy , have only one screen credit to their names . the film will be produced by arad and executive produced by scott mitchell rosenberg .\nrosenberg also published malibu comics , which , as we\u2019ve been often told by tom brevoort and axel alonso , will never ever be revived at marvel despite marvel having bought the company back in 1994 ( 20 years ago ! ! ! ) . no one knows exactly why this is , as an nda is involved , although there is some speculation by informed parties if you scroll down in this post . i\u2019m guessing it has something to do with rosenberg .\nrosenberg answered the phone at platinum today and said the company is writing a statement addressing the situation . he also was defiant by claiming that he is still with the company . \u201ci have no intention of leaving , and shareholders from a percentage standpoint have no desire for me to leave , \u201d rosenberg told deadline . he added , \u201ca ) i plan to be here for a long time . b ) there\u2019s no sign that i won\u2019t be . \u201d\nplatinum was founded in 1997 after rosenberg\u2019s success bringing men in black to the screen for columbia / sony . the company owns numerous comic book properties and in addition to film has attempted numerous tv projects . only the showtime series jeremiah has been produced . the company is involved in several lawsuits stemming from its financial setbacks . in may , platinum was delisted by the sec for failure to file financial reports as publicly traded companies are required . rosenberg has attributed the failure to file to what he tells deadline was \u201ca system wide server crash , unfortunately including financial servers\u201d . rosenberg tonight said this information was provided to regulators and that the records will be restored during the first half of 2013 .\nfor all the metaphorical \u201chookers and blow\u201dor hokem for land that rosenberg woo\u2019ed possible creators with to give up their creations , the one story i never read about was him actually holding a gun to anyone\u2019s head to sign on the dotted line .\nsoon allow those smaller companies to look bigger , minimizing their costs and maximizing the quality of their output . in addition , rosenberg worked with adobe and their photoshop software to develop the leading standard system for the computer coloring of comic books .\nsteve rosenberg has been the chief data officer for the wireline competition bureau at the federal communications commission since the spring of 2010 . his focus is on improving the collection , analysis and dissemination of data to inform policy - making in . . .\nas a creator who had the misfortune of crossing paths with mr . rosenberg in the 1980s\u2026and what a tangled web he did weave\u2026i\u2019m not surprised by any of this . google the sad saga of ex - mutants and you will find nothing has changed .\nabout beall , rosenberg said : \u201ci can\u2019t comment on anything that hasn\u2019t been released publicly , and i don\u2019t know what beall has released publicly . he was making dates for things and scheduling things and sending things around without others in the company knowing . \u201d\nrosenberg , who launched malibu comics 1986 , is now chairman and ceo of platinum studios , which turns comic books into film projects . platinum studios is well known for such projects as the big screen version of malibu\u2019s men in black comic and showtime\u2019s original series jeremiah . his office could double as a comic book store , spinner rocks stacked full of ultraverse comics , prime and mantra 6 - foot standups , a nightman tv poster , and even cards and ultraforce toys lying about . rosenberg is working hard with marvel to bring the prime movie to fruition . when asked if a final draft has been completed for the movie , rosenberg is quick to note , \u201cnothing\u2019s ever final in hollywood until the movie\u2019s complete . that said , there\u2019s a current draft which is attracting some directing interest . \u201d\nand so you have the mogul , rosenberg , on the run but with a large body of shell companies and audacity at his disposal , and the new president , beall , a former marine who , based on the documents received by the beat , seemed to be trying to do the right thing and get matters back on track . however , the day of the call , some shareholders claimed to have gotten an email from beall stating that he had been removed as president by rosenberg . and the call itself was a disaster , one shareholder wrote :\nfortunately , only the squids have the monetary reach ( and by that i mean all your favorite politicians are bought and paid for ) to have sec law not apply to them . rosenberg isn\u2019t anywhere close to their weight class so he might actually go to jail . eventually .\nmitchell was born in miami , florida and received his bachelor ' s degree in mass communications and public relations at the university of south florida in tampa . in 1982 , he moved to houston , where as a student at south texas college of law , he served on the school ' s law review , made the dean ' s list every semester , and graduated summa cum laude with the 4th highest urltoken his graduating class .\nbanding together to attempt to oust rosenberg from the company after a series of what they claim are flagrantly fraudulent money shifting and credit card embezzlement maneuvers\u2014all from the coffers of the publicly - traded company . while we don\u2019t know the whole story , we can piece together some of it .\nas one of the first comic creators ripped off by this guy in the 1980s ( along with dave l . above and our cohorts at wonder / amazing , etc . ) , i think it\u2019s well past time rosenberg went to jail . we\u2019ve been telling people he\u2019s a crook for more than 2 decades , and yet he keeps pulling the same type of scams again and again and again . if you were lucky , rosenberg only stole your money . if you were unlucky , he got your characters & ip . put him in jail and throw away the key !\nthe first film based on the new york times bestseller graphic album , \u201ccowboys & aliens\u201d created by rosenberg when he was a kid \u2013 is distributed worldwide by paramount pictures , and domestically by universal studios , thus far grossed nearly $ 175 million dollars , not including tv and ancillary sales .\nappearing 14 times on the new york times bestseller list , the cowboys & aliens graphic novel \u2014 created by rosenberg when he was a kid \u2014 has now been produced into its first film grossing nearly 200 million dollars , not including tv and ancillary sales , the film stars harrison ford and daniel craig .\nplatinum studios , with rosenberg as a producer , has released films and television programming with universal pictures , paramount pictures , dreamworks films , mgm , showtime , and lionsgate , and has developed film or television with others , including disney , time - warner\u2019s new line films , 20th century fox and sony pictures entertainment .\n\u201cthe script is still subject to some tweaks and changes , and with director choices affecting the tone somewhat , it\u2019s too early to tell , \u201d rosenberg had to say on where the target audience might lie for the film . \u201ccurrently it\u2019s a pretty fun movie . i\u2019d hesitate to guess , but most likely adults over the age of 124 might not find it of interest and i would frown upon bringing anyone prior to inception , \u201d rosenberg kids . \u201cseriously , we are trying hard to make a cool movie that everyone will enjoy . \u201d the project still has no principal actors or a director attached and is still too early to tell when the prime film will be shot and released . platinum studios continues to partner with marvel comics to try and find other malibu characters that could be produced into feature films . \u201cfinding the right character isn\u2019t always the hard part , it\u2019s finding the right story for a film , \u201d says rosenberg . \u201cand having a studio agree that it is the right story . \u201d\nsince that time , rosenberg has been recognized as a pioneer and a leader in the comic book industry . he recognized that comics were on the verge of one of many revolutions that would allow opportunity for new , smaller publishers , and that the advent of the macintosh computer ( circa 1986 ) and other technological advances of that time would\nthe call took place late yesterday , and in the meantime , platinum president , chris beall , who joined last summer , was trying to make sense of this all and get rosenberg booted as chairman in order to be investigated . we have the documents beall sent out to shareholders , and they aren\u2019t pretty , spelling out all of the malfeasance and more , including a bevy of lawsuits , and the revelation that the \u201canimated movie\u201d was nothing more than a \u201cmotion comic\u201d which platinum is unable to publish because of not paying the creators . among rosenberg\u2019s other questionable actions : transferring 51 % of platinum\u2019s ip to rip media , another one of his shell companies . in other words , shareholders were owning less and less .\ni had the opportunity to work with rosenberg briefly in 2000 . he impressed me as a guy who\u2019d seized some profitable opportunities primarily from being in the right place at the right time . while he had the sense to grab some of the early properties cheap , by the time i worked with him , he was clearly in over his head and surrounded by a couple of sycophants who talked some of the talk and sucked up to him to his liking . the writing was on the wall . scott had peaked and was on his way to a glorious flame out , touting some of the remaining pieces of crap in his inventory , e . g . , dylan dog , as the next three or four mib - sized superstars . based on the history of lawsuits and scandals , i see that has mostly played out . sad , but a useful object lesson about falling for your own hype .\nas to rip , i\u2019m simply dumbfounded . if the monies that they have reported going to rip are for cowboys and aliens , that means this company never really owned anything at all and was entirely a scam from the beginning . i was willing to give mr . rosenberg the benefit of the doubt and say he was merely incompetent , but this is far beyond that . i thought i was buying into a company with a large library of intellectual property , to now find that it was always a shell that owned nothing and money was always meant to be funneled into a company solely owned by mr . rosenberg makes me furious . how has the sec ignored my every inquiry ? how is this man not on his way to jail ?\nas a teenager in the early \u201980s , rosenberg stole \u2013 literally jammed under his jacket \u2013 my copies of amazing fantasy 15 and journey into mystery 83 and ran out of my house with them . it was the early 80\u2019s and the police in the sf valley wouldn\u2019t do shit . still have the police report and the copy of the recycler where he ran ads to troll for victims .\nso what does that leave ? hundreds of thousands of dollars invested by penny stock gamblers , much of it unwisely . former executives who don\u2019t even list the company on their linkedin pages anymore . creators who lost their properties long ago and don\u2019t even bother to look back . rich , fat lawyers . and rosenberg ? reportedly running the company out of his apartment . and still fighting the fight .\nafter 20 years , including 11 as partner , at the prominent houston firm of williams , birnberg & andersen , l . l . p . , mitchell decided to start his own practice with his new law partner , john nechman . he continues to concentrate on the areas of real estate , with a special emphasis on real estate litigation , homeowner association law , title insurance matters , landlord - tenant disputes , and adjoining landowner issues . he also handles employment and hr matters , estate planning and probate , general and business litigation , as well as insurance , adoption , and disability ( including hiv and aids ) matters .\nsince the early days of the hiv / aids crisis , mitchell has been a stalwart leader in the battle to help those with hiv / aids . he has also helped create numerous glbt legal organizations in houston and texas , and he regularly appears on local and national television and radio programs where issues such as same - sex marriage , gay and lesbian adoption , hiv / aids , and civil rights are discussed and debated . he is particularly proud of his role as local counsel in the lawrence case , in which the supreme court overruled the case of bowers v . hardwick and overturned all sodomy statutes in the country .\namong his many awards , mitchell has received the humanitarian award from the houston conference on aids in america , the advocacy award from the bar association for human rights of greater houston , the state bar of texas ' s frank j . scurlock award and judge norman black award , a community service award for outstanding citizenship from houston ' s abc affiliate channel 13 , an award as\ntop attorney\nfrom h magazine , the john walzel political equality award from the human rights campaign , and an award as outstanding civil rights attorney from the equal employment opportunity commission , and he was named a texas monthly magazine\nsuper lawyer\n4 years in a row .\nas sales declined industry - wide in the mid - 1990s , malibu canceled lower - selling series . nonetheless , the company ' s assets were still seen as attractive enough to garner interest from dc comics in the spring of 1994 . in addition , rosenberg and malibu signed with the william morris agency . the company was purchased by marvel comics on november 3 , 1994 . in the middle of the next year , malibu standard - bearers mason and ulm left the company .\nflash forward to early 2012 , when , with the cowboys & aliens movie come and gone , the stock was delisted , even as a penny stock , following failure to file reports . some stockholders began to take a look at strange sec filings and the way rosenberg was shuffling money between his various companies in order to claim more of the money invested in the company . and a lawsuit was filed in 2012 , which you can read here : while anything more than counting the change from a pumpkin latte gives us a headache , the lawsuit makes a strong case that something fishy was going on , with rosenberg personally claiming 25 % of platinum\u2019s worth\u2014a $ 37 . 5 million dollar value\u2014in return for lending the company $ 3 , 750 . 000 in credit . if you want to get to the heart of the matter go to the end and read the letter by former platinum cfo brian altounian where he explains to other board members what\u2019s happening and what needs to be done .\nfrom the offices of katine & nechman in houston , texas , we help clients throughout the greater houston area , including pasadena , galveston , sugar land , conroe , richmond , rosenberg , bellaire , humble , harris county , galveston county , brazoria county , fort bend county , wharton county , montgomery county , the inner loop , the galleria , all areas of the texas gulf coast , and the entire state of texas . our immigration practice covers clients throughout the united states and around the world .\nwhile at williams , birnberg , & anderson , l . l . p . , mitchell quickly forged a reputation as an attorney of formidable skills . he also became a certified mediator , a publisher of numerous law - related articles , and nationally - known speaker and continuing legal education presenter on numerous topics . in 1993 , texas governor ann richards appointed him to the texas real estate commission , where he served as a commissioner for 6 years . in 1994 , he became an adjunct professor at south texas college of law , and in 2001 , he took on the same role at the university of houston law center , teaching\nhiv & the law .\nhe has also served on the state bar of texas ' s grievance committee panel as well as the disability issues committee .\nbut just how messed up is platinum ? with all this talk of lawsuits , we made a search on the la superior court website to see how many lawsuits the company was involved in . this particular court site charges quite a bit for looking at case documents\u2014after looking at platinum\u2019s docket , as much as we\u2019d like to read some of these gory details , we just didn\u2019t have more than $ 100 to spend on the research : we\u2019re told there are at least four other lawsuits against rosenberg personally , including one by relatives .\nrosenberg has teamed up with many other film and television producers for both development and production including steven spielberg , ron howard , brian grazer , kurtzman & orci ( transformers ) , david s . goyer ( the dark knight , man of steel ) , john williams ( shrek ) , robert cort ( mr . holland\u2019s opus and bill and ted\u2019s excellent adventures ) , david heyman ( the harry potter movies ) , gil adler ( superman returns ) , denis l . stewart ( teenage mutant ninja turtles ) and many more of note .\nit\u2019s the classic story of powerful versus the powerless . with malibu , it\u2019s 1982 or 1985 and your\u2019re nineteen or 23 making your own stuff ( pick any year with any permutation of rosenberg\u2019s shells ) . these are your choices : wallow away year after year trying to break into the big two , self -

with - the - devil , some would say dating the way back to right of ownership of the first super - hero .\ni believed in platinum studios after i received a tip from my brother who had noticed pdos gaining momentum . i got in at around 6 cents to 7 cents a chare and thought i had struck a gold mine ! i was so convinced i even rolled over my 401 ( k ) , all $ 100 , 000 + of it into pdos stock ! suffice to say , i was sick to my stomach after day in and day out of loss after loss . i made the stupid mistake of trying to \u201caverage down\u201d using my hard - earned day - to - day salary , to the tune of another $ 40k . so after about $ 140k of my money , i just try to live each day knowing that i made a very foolish mistake , believing in platinum and rosenberg . to this day , i still own all my stock in platinum so i guess technically i haven\u2019t lost anything yet \u2014 just on paper . lol\u2026 i have to laugh or else i would cry . nelson\nbut first some platinum background . the company was formed in 1997 , during a fairly down time for the comics industry . using the men in black formula\u2014obscure comic becomes very profitable movie franchise\u2014platinum began amassing ip by getting lots of hopeful creators to sign away the rights to their creations in hopes of getting movies made . the result of all this is what platinum pr proudly claims is a character library of over 5000 characters\u2014enough to challenge a marvel or a dc even if you can\u2019t name a single one of them .\nplatinum\u2019s output wasn\u2019t entirely imaginary . they produced the tv series jeremiah based on the french comic ; they were also involved in the horrible dylan dog movie , dead of night , which grossed a total of $ 754 , 779 its opening weekend and $ 1 . 1 million domestically . most famously their comic cowboys & aliens did get produced with major stars and a top director\u2026but it foundered at the box office amid a tangled web of creation , with many claiming to have come up with the idea of cowboys fighting aliens . the graphic novel it was based on , by fred van lente , denis calero and others , was also vaulted to the top of ew\u2019s graphic novel sales chart under suspicious circumstances .\nalong the way , platinum went public as a penny stock\u2014a small stock that literally varies between a few cents and a few more , allowing clever investors to hit it big from time to time . despite incredibly glowing press in a variety of top outlets about how genius the platinum model was\u2014this ny times story called \u201ccomic genius ? \u201d being the low point of the genre\u2014and acquisitions that looked smart like the online content company wowio and the webcomic portal drunk duck , the financials were still pretty crap in 2008 , as reported by van jensen in publishers weekly .\nwhile matters roiled a bit for the next few months\u2014if you want the gory details , reading the platinum stockholders message board , if you can stomach it\u2014there was always a constant stream of the usual hollywood blather about deals and projects . these were summed up by a very optimistic shareholder , who remained hopeful that platinum would rise to 2\u00a2 a share :\n\u2013 stock near its 52 week low -

on - demand format . did somebody say charley chase ?\nthese shorts also help put the stooges and their columbia two - reelers into perspective . watching these other , less familiar solo comedies it ' s clear that department head jules white pretty much expected all of his comics to fall into line with\nparticular brand of broad , sometimes violent slapstick rather than the other way around , regardless of each comedian ' s unique talents and screen personas . viewers may be surprised to see the same tried - and - true routines made famous by the stooges performed by other columbia comedy stars , sometimes word - for - word , gag - for - gag . the better columbia shorts , such as most of the two - reelers made by buster keaton and chase in the late - 1930s / early - ' 40s played to their strengths ( while also adapting to white ' s style to some extent ) but the majority of columbia ' s shorts are definitely on the same comedy wavelength .\nthis interchangeability undoubtedly saved money , making it easy for an andy clyde short to be remade with , say , shemp in the lead , and then again a few years later with joe besser , with stock footage from the earlier films further cutting costs . but it also forced some talented comedians into material that really wasn ' t suited to their particular screen persona .\nthe stooges , on the other hand , were lucky . even before joining columbia studios , their brand of slapstick meshed almost perfectly with white ' s , and was even enhanced by his silent movie veteran ' s experience , and columbia ' s sound effects department .\nthese shorts also make clear why it was so easy for shemp to replace curly , for joe besser to replace shemp , and for joe derita to replace besser . for one thing , white was constantly experimenting , teaming shemp with andy clyde and later tom kennedy , and joe besser with\nhawthorne\n( as radio personality jim hawthorne was billed ) , to name three examples . transitioning shemp , joe , and joe into curly ' s\nthird stooge\nslot was quite natural when you realize that some of their solo shorts were already remakes of three stooges comedies , in which they essentially play curly ' s old part .\n( and in all of these shorts , familiar supporting players like vernon dent and christine mcintyre turn up again and again , often in juicier roles than the stooges shorts usually afforded them . mcintyre especially comes off very well in many of these . )\nunderstandably , those stooge fans that have been buying the two - disc volumes all along are balking at the notion of double dipping on seventeen discs to get three . sources tell us all this material will be made available separately , but not until early next year . however , retailers like amazon are currently offering the big box for around $ 45 , an incredible bargain , especially for those of us who remember buying super - 8 and 16mm copies of these shorts back in the ' 70s and ' 80s . back then a single two - reel comedy could easily set you back that much .\nto everything on the three - disc\nrare treasures from the columbia pictures vault .\n, so be sure to give those a looksee as well . i took a rare vacation when that set was originally released and always regretted not being able to write about those shorts . so , at last , here they are .\ncasual stooge fan take note : the best of the two - reelers in this collection are unqualified masterpieces of film comedy , among the best short comedies ever made . this will come as a surprise to those who stubbornly insist the three stooges ' trademark lowbrow eye - pokes and head - slaps appeal only to audiences with i . q . s not much higher than the stooges themselves . in one sense the team was a victim of their own longevity . i ' ve always felt that had all three stooges died in an airplane crash around 1937\nserious\ncinema historians would unquestionably rank them in the pantheon of great film comedians : chaplin , keaton , harold lloyd , w . c . fields , laurel & hardy , the marx bros . instead , the stooges , in their various incarnations , prolifically continued making movies and appearing in other media until about 1970 , long after virtually all their contemporaries had retired or died out .\nthe team ' s first columbia short is an anomoly directed by archie gottler and written by his son jerome , neither of whom did any other shorts with the stooges . it ' s closer in content and spirit to their earlier shorts with ted healy . told entirely in verse , this\nmusical novelty\nhas the team joining a women ' s anonymous fraternal organization , only larry is set to get married and go off on his honeymoon that very night . though more silly than funny , it ' s a strangely endearing little film , due in no small part to the perky charm of top - billed marjorie white , a fireball of betty boop / thelma todd - like energy who died too soon , in an automobile accident shortly after this was made . one of the stooges ' best foils , silent comedy veteran bud jamison , makes his series debut ; indeed it ' s jamison , not moe , who delivers the series ' first\neye - poke .\nthe real surprise for some will be the uncredited appearance of a rail - thin walter brennan as a train conductor , just two years away from his first oscar - winning performance in\nboxing promoter moe finds a heavyweight champ in cafe waiter curly , who goes bananas anytime he hears larry play\npop goes the weasel\non the violin . this is the only short in which the stooges are credited as writers but this is overstated : they sat in on the development of most of their shorts , contributing gags and bits of business , and it ' s seems likely that notoriously stingy studio head harry cohn balked at paying the team twice . in any case this is one of the team ' s all - time best comedies . among the highlights , larry ' s mad chase through the streets of hollywood after his fiddle gets busted , and arthur housman ( who spent the vast majority of his career playing comic drunks ) as a frustrated ringside timekeeper . ( * * * * * )\n, remembered today only for its early 3 - strip technicolor photography ) has the team running amuck in the\nlos arms hospital .\nit ' s basically another transitional work , a throwback to a kind of anarchic style of comedy that had been popular in the late - 1920s and early - ' 30s ( best personified by the marx bros . ) , with wild sight gags and weird , surreal moments . jeanie roberts ' gracie allen - esque hiccuping nurse is pretty hard to take , but some of the material is priceless , particularly larry ' s demented behavior throughout . around this time , hal roach and other producers were getting out of the short subjects business , and many veterans from the\nlot of fun\nturn up in these shorts , in this case laurel & hardy favorite billy gilbert as an insane patient . ( * * * * )\ngangster / gamblers ( including tough guy walter long , another laurel & hardy favorite ) recruit moe , larry , and curly as ringers for their private football game , a hilarious companion to the finale of the marx bros . similar\n. this short is remembered for lucille ball ' s supporting role as a gangster ' s moll ; she was just 23 at the time and her hair is platinum blonde . ( * * * * )\n, curly goes ape - shit every time he sees a mouse , placated only when moe and larry stuff his face with cheese . (\nmoe , larry , the cheese ! moe , larry , the cheese !\n) perennial comic cop and hotel dick fred kelsey appears unbilled as detective hyden zeke , in a surreal bit that finds curly with creepy eyes painted on his eyelids . ( * * * * \u00bd )\nmoe , larry , and curly are , respectively , the count of fife , the duke of durham , and the baron of graymatter in this medieval spoof , which features walter brennan as the trio ' s ancient father . another early short made by hands not normally associated with the team , including silent director charles lamont , who later would helm a number of abbott & costello ' s lesser features . ( * * * * )\nthe stooges are mistaken for art students in this short , memorable for its clay - throwing finale ; it ' s also the first columbia short to find the team as low - brow destructors of high - brow pretentiousness . one of the lesser shorts in this collection , though still quite funny . moe and larry ' s daughters appear unbilled as the girls playing hopscotch . ( * * * \u00bd )\nthe stooges go undercover as union spies masquerading as confederate officers in this hilarious civil war comedy , one of their finest . full of laughs and curly ' s wonderfully manic energy , and it includes a routine the team would frequently revive : the old pastries filled with feathers gag ( literally ! ) . highlight : curly ' s attempt to tell a joke :\ni got a better one for the colonel . there were three men in three beds , they only had two blankets . how ' d they keep warm ? they turned on the heat ! nyuk nyuk nyuk !\n( * * * * * )\nwatch moe break his ribs ! heralding the end of prohibition , this short finds the stooges whipping up their own special brand of\nscotch ,\nand later masquerading as scottish whiskey - makers at an upscale party . the real fun , however , is the opening set piece , with the stooges as inept carpenters . in one scene , moe is standing on a table curly saws in half , sending moe crashing to the floor . the gag went wrong and moe broke several ribs and suffered a concussion , but you ' d never know it . in a remarkable bit of the - show - must - go - on dedication , moe gets up , says his line , and manages to slap curly before the take ends . in a bit of yiddish humor , soon to vanish from the shorts , larry toasts a whiskey distributor with\n, stooge - style , as a professor tries to fashion three garbage men ( guess who ? ) into\ngentlemen .\nvariations of this theme turned up again and again in the team ' s comedies ; this short was remade at least twice ( as\nanother of the team ' s all - time best , this great short sets brewery delivery men moe , larry , and curly loose on a golf course where they create all manner of havoc . moe fills the fairway with divots , curly chops down a tree , and larry , trying to pull a pesky root , ruins a green . the swell finish has them running from from beer barrels when they roll off their truck , parked on a steep hill . ( the neighborhood where this was filmed is still much the same , just north of echo park , on the other side of sunset boulevard in los angeles . ) ( * * * * * )\n, producer - director jules white ' s brother , and for my money the stooges ' best director . all of his shorts with the team are distinctive and have strong comic pacing , and the humor is a bit wilder and anarchic . this one starts off with a great sight gag : curly grabs a ladder leaning against a telephone pole and , perfectly timed , moments later a utility worker crashes to the ground . the trio play pest exterminators who , for want of business , also provide the pests . the humor here is atypical but uproariously funny nonetheless because the stooges are so gleefully amoral : at an upscale house they unleash a veritable plague of rats , moths , and ants , literally tossing vermin on passersby . ( * * * * \u00bd )\nthe stooges may\nknow nuthin ' about makin ' movies ,\nbut as moe says ,\nthere ' s a couple of thousand people in pictures now who know nothin ' about it . three more won ' t make any difference .\nalas , this short doesn ' t live up to its potential , though film buffs will enjoy the references to\nand the scene where curly tries to emulate john barrymore . charlie chaplin ' s ex - wife mildred harris plays the put upon leading lady . ( * * * )\nduped into reenlisting into the army , the stooges become the charge of their sadistic sergeant ( the great stanley blystone ) from their doughboy days . (\nwhere you born in this country ?\nasks the enlistment officer .\nno ,\nlarry replies ,\nmilwaukee .\n) the highlight is one of the team ' s all - time funniest set pieces , where they blithely shoot off a big cannon destroying everything in sight . curly highlight : an impromptu ditty about the big gun ,\noh the first shell went in there ; it round and round , wo - o - ah . . . and it goes out there !\n( * * * * \u00bd )\nanother great\npreston black\ntwo - reeler , with the stooges as star witnesses in murder trial . full of hilarious dialogue and wild sight gags , while larry ' s in fine form in one of the team ' s most surreally funny moments : larry grabs a wad of curly ' s chewing gum that ' s landed on moe ' s nose , stomps on it and for no apparent reason lets out a strange victory cry .\nyou ' re in a court , not in the woods , tarzan !\nadmonishes moe . look for the howard ' s parents , who appear unbilled as members of the court audience . this is one of a handful of shorts that fell into public domain , but the presentation here is outstanding . ( * * * * * )\nsomewhat unusual short has the stooges more or less playing themselves , the three stooges , vaudevillians , whose act revolves around a trained monkey , ironically ( in retrospect ) named joe . this is the one set aboard a train in which demanding , hammy actor james c . morton ( a wonderful , bald character comedian always good for a toupee gag ) constantly demands service from\njohn - son !\n( bud jamison ) , who keeps hitting his head on the ceiling of his berth . features one of the series ' best gags , the kind of vaguely politically - incorrect joke that would never be done today : a very jewish - looking booking agent picks up the phone , and in a thick yiddish accent answers ,\ngoldstien , goldberg , goldblatt & o ' brien . . . o ' brien speaking !\n( * * * * \u00bd )\n. lots of great footage of hollywood near columbia ' s studio at sunset and gower . there ' s a funny , extended scene where the trio take their girlfriends for a joy ride in the firechief ' s ( stanley blystone again ) new car , with the expected disastrous results . ( * * * * )\nthe stooges play crooked gamblers in a frontier town , on the run after their scam is discovered . what follows are some great wilderness gags , including a side - splitting running gag with an impatient , never - satisfied moe using increasingly bigger fish he catches as bait :\ngo fetch your old man !\nmoe growls . bud jamison is terrific as a french - canadian trapper duped into\nmarrying\nindian squaw curly . ( * * * \u00bd )\na straight - faced fashion show , an odd sequence that really seems designed to impress wealthy , sophisticated women , hardly the stooges ' core audience . ) though not quite a pie fight , the cream puff - throwing finale is a highlight , clips from which moe proudly ran as an example of the team ' s comedy on an episode of\nin the 1970s . this final short features a different take of their closing theme . ( * * * \u00bd )\n( 1936 ) , in which the sight of a mouse would set curly off :\nmoe ! larry ! the cheese !\nin this short , it ' s wild hyacinth that makes curly go wild , satiated only by the tickling of his feet . that ' s a bit of a stretch even in stoogeville , but this preston black ( i . e . , jack white ) - directed short has a great payoff , a climatic wrestling match that ends with curly madly clubbing everyone in sight with the heavy iron match bell . lots of great gags about alcoholism - alas , a subject no longer politically correct even in slapstick comedy . ( * * * \u00bd )\n) like drug companies pushing their pricey product on administrators . the highlight has moe taking over the hospital ' s pr system :\nmoe : hello , everybody , we just brought the moon over the mountain .\ncurly : hello , ma . hello , pa . it wasn ' t much of a fight . i stood like that . but not for long . [\n] this broadcast comes to you through the courtesy of brighto . and its six delicious flavors : chocolate , vanilla , cranberry , strawberry .\n] : buh - buh - buh - boo . buh - buh - buh - boo . buh - buh . . . [\ngagman clyde bruckman , whose collaborators included buster keaton , harold lloyd , and laurel & hardy , penned this unusual short which features curly howard in a dual role , playing his own father , a muttonchops - wearing sugar daddy . pop howard is about to marry gold - digger daisy ( - waisy ) , played by lucille lund , who co - starred with karloff and lugosi in\na few years before . a running gag has various characters repeatedly falling down an elevator shaft , a gag curly didn ' t find quite so funny when some idiot prop man left a big 2 x 4 in the shaft for curly to rip his scalp open on . in the scene immediately before but presumably shot after , curly clearly has a patched - up head he cheats away from the camera . ( * * * * )\nthe three stooges , puritans ?\nshutteth up !\nso says moe near the beginning of this gem , the last directed by the much - underrated preston black / jack white . set , vaguely , in the 17th century at the time of the american pilgrims - despite in - jokes anachronistically referencing everything from the wpa to whopper the racehorse - the stooges and their brooklynese accents are banished from britain and head for plymouth rock . faced with starvation , they take their blunderbusses hunting , risking the ire of the local indians , who ' ve claimed the surrounding lands as their own . ( * * * * )\nwild bill hiccup ( moe ) , buffalo bilious ( curly ) , and just plain bill ( larry ) are u . s . cavalry scouts on the trail of cattle rustler longhorn pete ( gravelly - voiced stanley blystone , a great foil of the stooges ' early days ) . superb short is arguably the best of the team ' s innumerable westerns comedies ( despite the lowest slap - count of any of the shorts , according to stooge experts ) , with an inspired chase near the end . i ' ve got to admit , as a kid i really thought you could drop an ammunition belt into a hand - cranked meat grinder and get it to fire like a machine gun , and used to dream about getting my hands on one . ( * * * * * )\nthe stooges , proprietors of the flounder inn , trade in their restaurant for an allegedly prize - winning racehorse , thunderbolt . the filly turns out to be a dud until curly accidentally feeds it super - hot chili pepperinos , with a distant bucket of cool water at the finish line as an irresistible incentive . good short has some funny business with curly at the run - down restaurant , and introduces the surefire gag of customers thinking the cook is butchering dogs back in the kitchen . ( * * * \u00bd )\n( 1920 ) . when prospective father - in - law james c . morton refuses to let the stooges marry daughters florabell ( june gittelson ) , corabell ( betty mack ) , and dorabell ( marcia healy , ex - stooge ringleader ted ' s sister ) , moe , larry , and curly go on a sit - down strike in morton ' s house . when the three suitors ' protest gains nationwide attention in their favor , morton finally gives in , and the stooges are off to build a prefabricated house - a gift from their supporters . but , alas , curly accidentally burned the plans and the end result is beguilingly daliesque . ( * * * * \u00bd )\n, the stooges once again are pest exterminators , though here they ' re mistaken for\ncollege student escorts\nto accompany a lonely old maid to a swanky party . a highlight has the stooges at the dinner table - always good for a guffaw or two - prompting all the rich guests to follow their hoi polloi lead . ( * * * )\nthis okay short casting the stooges as parisian artists ( ! ) joining the french foreign legion was one of many remade years later after shemp howard ( moe and curly ' s real - life brother ) had replaced curly in the\nthird stooge\nslot ; unlike virtually all the remakes , in this instance the shemp version is actually funnier . the original suffers from a herky - jerky telling , much of which has the stooges too far removed from their familiar milieu , though vernon dent is a delight as arab chieftain simitz . one has to wonder what french - born cinematographer andr\u00e9 barlatier made of all this . ( * * * )\nalong with preston black / jack white , during their first years at columbia the stooges benefited enormously from the contributions of charley chase , who helmed six of their shorts , each memorable in its own way . chase , of course , was one of the great clowns of silent and early talkie comedy . his long association with hal roach had ended amicably when that studio phased out its short subject department and chase wound up at columbia as both a writer - director and star of his own series of shorts until his untimely death in 1940 . though\n- this time , tassels make him go bananas - everything else about this comedy is just great . ultra - prolific bit player / extra bess flowers ( who appeared in more best picture winners than any other actress ) is a nouveau riche housewife who mistakes janitor moe for chichi interior designer omay , unwisely inviting the trio to redecorate her home . highlights include a beautifully paced table - painting scene ( the chase / roach influence here is obvious ) and a funny scene where moe vainly tries to teach curly pig latin :\nstrong comedy from director del lord has the stooges wreaking havoc at the pricy hotel costa plente , after curly wins $ 50 , 000 in a radio contest . their carefree destruction of priceless\nis screamingly funny . longtime comic foil james c . morton ( concurrently a regular in laurel & hardy ' s comedies ) is well - cast as the harried hotel manager . highlight : curly thinks he ' s got the dts when a pet monkey ( scouting around on behalf of three gold - digging dames next door ) starts jumping around in larry ' s pants . ( * * * * )\nformer janitors at super terrific productions , the stooges are off to darkest africa to make a gorilla picture with starlet mirabel mirabel ( jane hamilton ) and harried director herbert ( monte collins ) . once there , they run into witch doctor ba loni sulami ( former boxer john lester johnson ) and naba , a gorilla ( enthusiastically played by ray\ncrash\ncorrigan ) . highlights include curly ' s incredible impression of a chicken with its head cut off , and an iconic scene where the sleeping stooges have their feet licked by a playful lion . ( the lion obviously still has its teeth but even if it didn ' t , would\nanother unusual short courtesy director charley chase and collaborator screenwriter al giebler finds the stooges , working as pet groomers , adopting what they think is an abandoned baby . actually , a contrived series of circumstances resulted in the boy ' s bickering parents ( bess flowers and lane chandler ) leaving the kid unwatched on their doorstep ; they later believe their kid kidnapped . the centerpiece for this short is the trio ' s elaborate automated dog - washer , an elaborate rube goldberg - type contraption . not the funniest short in the world but agreeably unusual , and stooge regulars vernon dent and bud jamison lend fine support as their landlord and neighborhood ( irish ) cop , respectively . ( * * * )\n( 1936 ) , the stooges are fireman for a station still using horse - drawn fire engines . the short seems to be chase ' s tribute to the early slapstick silent comedies featuring the keystone cops ; there ' s some frenetic business near the end that ' s straight out of mack sennett , and keystone players chester conklin and heinie conklin ( no relation ) have sizeable roles , especially the former as a the walrus - mustached fire chief . watching this again was a strange experience . i don ' t think i had since it in at least 30 years yet remembered certain lines and sight gags like i had seen it yesterday . weird . ( * * * * )\nthe funniest thing about this short is its ( deliberately ) hilarious special effects , a miniature of a submarine madly flailing about like a salmon swimming upstream . how the stooges find themselves aboard this runaway sub with a pair of saboteurs ( phyllis barry and harry semels ) is the story of this two - reel delight . it ' s basically a u . s . navy comedy but obviously its setting was changed to a fictional country so as not to offend the real navy , this being released just prior to the outbreak of world war ii . the stooges don ' t make it out of this one alive . abbott & costello ' s\n( 1941 ) suspiciously borrows several very specific plot points . ( * * * * )\nto the hunt ! to the hunt ! to the hunt - hunt - hunt !\nthis terrific short ' s early scenes were shot right outside the columbia lot on gower avenue - you can even see the old\nhollywoodland\nsign in the background . moe , larry , and curly are salesmen for a crooked racket selling memberships to a duck hunting club . michael moore could have saved himself the trouble of making\nas a cautionary tale of crazy idiots with guns . classic bit has the trio in a sinking rowboat , into which larry fires his shotgun\nto let the water out !\n( * * * * )\nan okay western comedy , this time with the stooges playing singing waiters at crooked bank robber maxey ' s ( dick curtis ) saloon . the short opens with the stooges and three ing\u00e9nues ( jean carmen , lola jensen , and suzanne kaaren , the latter mrs . sidney blackmer and\ngail tempest\nfrom\n) singing perhaps the worst rendition of\nred river valley\nin screen history . the stooges quit their jobs to go gold prospecting , and in an incredible coincidence , accidentally dig up maxey ' s stolen loot . set in that never - never land of the hollywood west where horse - drawn carriages and ford sedans roamed the prairie . ( * * * \u00bd )\nlatin stereotypes abound in this south of the border spoof of central american revolutions , the last stooge short directed by charley chase . salesmen unable to move their stifling winter attire , they switch to selling butt cushions in earthquake - ridden valeska , but get caught up in the revolution after befriending senorita rita ( carmen laroux ) , girlfriend of singapore joe , revolutionary leader ( leroy mason ) . ( * * * )\n, the stooges zany doctors at a pet hospital . when socialite mrs . bedford ' s ( isabelle lamal ) ' s beloved standard poodle gar\u00e7on is dognapped , it ' s up to moe , larry , and curly to rescue the prized pooch . watch curly pluck moe ' s eyebrows like the petals of a daisy (\nshe loves me ! she loves me not !\n) and a mutt ' s amazing spying powers ( how\nonce again homeless and hungry tramps , the stooges are offered a meal by grandmotherly widow jenkins ( eva mckenzie ) , whose oil - rich land is being swindled away by a trio of crooks . be sure to freeze - frame the shot of moe getting zapped in the eye by a blast of oily goop at a water pump ; his surprised and appalled reaction is very real . several unbilled actors in this went onto bigger and better things : one of the crooks is played by prolific b - western stars james craig , soon featured in\nthere ' s no money in peace !\ndeclare three greedy capitalists ,\nwe must find someone stupid enough to do what we tell him !\nsound familiar ? paper - hanger moe howard is tapped as the new dictator of moronika in this atypically topical political satire with the stooges as stand - ins for hitler ( moe , who in makeup and costume bears an uncanny resemblance ) , mussolini ( curly ) and josef goebbels ( larry ) . released nine months"]}

commentary . so it\u2019s no surprise that elliot\u2019s questions from wednesday\u2019s bizarre fifth episode , \u201ceps2 . 4 _ m4ster - slave . aes , \u201d pretty neatly capture what was so spectacular about the show\u2019s first season , and why the second has so far been an overwrought jumble . last year , mr . robot regularly prompted viewers to ask themselves , \u201cwhat\u2019s happening ? where are we going ? \u201d but it was in the spirit of excitement , of willing to be swept away by the creator sam esmail\u2019s mesmerizing directing , elliot\u2019s genius and foibles , and ambitious storytelling . wondering the same in season two has felt much less satisfying ; the questions often feel borne of confusion and frustration and boredom , rather than curiosity or suspense . at the halfway mark of its second season , mr . robot has unfortunately succumbed to so many of the mistakes that it elegantly avoided last year\u2014narrative sprawl , unchecked pretentiousness , and a lack of momentum and cohesiveness .\nthe irish leg of the trip is also up in the air after the trump campaign this week released an itinerary for his traveling press corps that only listed a two - day stop in ireland . the campaign told the belfast telegraph wednesday the schedule is still being worked on , and mr . trump hopes to include the trip if possible .\nparents need to know that the central character ' s mom is dead , and her father is so busy with his work that a babysitter plays the parent role at first . a dramatic accident looks bad but turns out to be a side note . kids are teased by adults for not being able to swim . some people may take offense at the stereotypes ( funny accent , karate moves ) attributed to the asian babysitter .\nsuch formal and tonal experimentation can be hard to come by on tv , especially on basic cable ( though the likes of fx are changing that ) , so on some level esmail and usa deserve credit for breaking with formula so imaginatively . but the scene also distills the kinds of excesses mr . robot has been especially prone to this season . last year , the show displayed a knack for teasing out new mysteries and subplots while putting old ones to rest , all while pursuing its main thread : f society\u2019s attempt to take down e corp . this year has been filled with so many apparent digressions ( the seventh seal - esque chess match , countless philosophy 101 soliloquies about the nature of reality and truth , joanna wellick\u2019s romantic life , whiterose\u2019s sartorial interests ) , that it\u2019s often unclear what kind of a story mr . robot wants to tell anymore . rather than resolving some mysteries from season one ( where is tyrell ? ) the show is simply offering answers to questions few people were asking ( \u201cwho exactly thought of the name \u2018mr . robot\u2019 ? \u201d )\ndon ' t forget to change your\u0097\nalright , mom ! jeez !\ndone regardless of who ( friends , neighbors ) or what ( television cameras ) is nearby , either . in the english dub , delia is reminding ash to change his underwear . in the original japanese , she ' s reminding him to brush his teeth . the english dub exaggerated this as it has delia embarrassing ash more than she originally did .\n\u201c donald trump aspires to lead the free world , but his run for the white house has been rooted in ignorance and intolerance , \u201d said hafiz ghafoor , a local mosque leader in the scottish capital . \u201cbefore he makes another inflammatory speech , mr . trump should learn more about the muslims that he offends almost every time he opens his mouth . \u201d\ncosmo and wanda spend the night at chloe ' s , disguised as flightless booby birds . but when chloe ' s parents decide to return the boobies to their natural habitat in the rainforest , timmy and chloe have to go and save them . however , things get worse after mr . crocker decides to poach them . debut appearance : connie carmichael , clark carmichael\nto see to it that they are , mr . bush often plays the role of social worker in his family meetings , asking participants about issues like benefits and health care . mrs . storey said the president \u201cseemed to get really upset\u201d when she told him she was not getting her survivor\u2019s benefits . within a week , she said , \u201cthe checks began showing up . \u201d\n\u201cwe have to oppose trump and show that he is not the international statesman he likes to pretend he is , \u201d said jonathon shafi , a human rights activist organizing the scottish protests and who lives near mr . trump \u2019s luxury development in glasgow . \u201che flaunts his scottish roots and heritage , but his politics [ have ] nothing in common with the values of the scottish people . \u201d\none episode of yokai watch has nate trying to avoid his friends seeing him going grocery shopping with his mother . there ' s nothing really embarrassing about that , though nate is a child so his overreaction is understandable . the really embarrassing part is when nate ' s mom starts talking about his underwear in front of his friends ( including his crush katie ) . she mentions that he needs new ones because his old ones are full of holes . this causes nate to collapse from embarrassment .\non june 22 mr . trump , who has scottish ancestry , plans to touch down here to mark the official reopening of the luxury turnberry golf resort he has been redeveloping at a reported investment of $ 285 million . he is tentatively scheduled to fly on to ireland to check on another of his golf resort investments , although new reports this week cast some doubt on whether that part of the trip will come off .\nit has been nearly six months since their meeting , and sometimes mrs . storey still finds it hard to believe that the simple act of writing a letter brought her into the presence of the president of the united states . she still has the photographs from the session , the letters she and mr . bush exchanged . living in the heavily democratic state of massachusetts , she said , it is not easy to be a bush supporter .\nhave you ever noticed how many movies there are with mother in the name ? this list ranks the best movies with mom or mother in the title , regardless of genre or rating . what is your favorite movie with mother in the name ? this is kind of an odd way to categorize movies , but that ' s also why it ' s so fun ! there are probably one or two movies with mother in the title that you instantly think of , but you might be surprised how many others there are too as you scroll through this list .\nfor american voters , the trip \u2014 mr . trump \u2019s first outside the country since winning the mantle of presumptive republican nominee \u2014 could provide a sneak preview into the kind of reception a president trump will receive if the billionaire developer and reality - tv star triumphs in november . with a sizable u . s . press contingent already signed up for the trip , the locals in both countries are debating how hospitable to be to the visitor from america .\nthe storeys , of palmer , mass . , joined a growing list of bereaved families granted a private audience with the commander in chief . as mr . bush forges ahead with the war in iraq , these \u201cfamilies of the fallen , \u201d as the white house calls them , are one constituency he can still count on , a powerful reminder to an unpopular president that even in the face of heartbreaking loss , some still believe he is doing the right thing .\nhappens at least once , and more likely multiple times , to kevin in the wonder years . most memorably , his mother took him to the mall shopping for clothes and had him try on a new pair of jeans , right as some kids he knew from school happened to be walking by . after he steps out of the dressing room , kevin ' s mom conducts an up close and personal inspection . trumpeting for all to hear that the jeans\nneed more room in the crotch\n. in his embarrassment , he imagines hearing that announced over the store ' s pa .\non the day of the emancipation proclamation , jane ' s master frees them all . on the same day , jane leaves the plantation with a group of ex - slaves . they have no idea where they are going , but a woman named big laura leads the way . jane wants to go to ohio to find corporal brown . the first morning away , a group of\npatrollers ,\nlocal white trash who used to hunt slaves , comes upon them and kills everyone but jane and a very young boy ned , whom they did not find . jane and ned then continue on their own , still headed for ohio . they meet many characters on their trip , all of whom tell jane that ohio is too far and that she should go back to her plantation . jane ' s obstinacy persists for a few weeks until she and ned are completely exhausted from walking . finally they catch a ride with a poor white man named job who lets them sleep at his house and takes them the next day to a plantation run by mr . bone . mr . bone offers jane a job , but only pays her the reduced rate of six dollars a month ( minus fifty cents for ned ' s schooling ) because she is so young . jane and ned get a cabin and after one month on the job , mr . bone raises her pay to ten dollars because she is doing as much work as the other women .\nas in scotland , the irish government had welcomed mr . trump \u2019s investment when he bought out a luxury golf development on the country\u2019s wild atlantic coast to add to his profitable portfolio of high - end resorts . with enthusiastic support from irish economic development officials , he purchased the seaside doonbeg resort in county clare for about $ 14 million and pledged to invest another $ 60 million - plus into a major upgrade of the property . the property has been re - christened the trump international golf links & hotel ireland .\nperhaps all of mr . robot \u2019s current woes wouldn\u2019t feel so disappointing if it hadn\u2019t already proven that it could execute on its peculiar premise . the show didn\u2019t need to reinvent or outdo itself\u2014it simply needed to follow through on the new and interesting threads it set up in the first - season finale . but it did need , above all , consistency . it has that on at least one front : malek\u2019s performance , which continues to carry the show even in its weaker moments . the rest of the cast has been strong too , particularly portia doubleday as angela ( easily the best character by the end of last season ) . there are likely many fans who feel esmail has earned enough goodwill that he deserves our patience for the rest of the season . and there\u2019s still a good chance that the final six episodes will justify the excruciatingly slow build up and thematic muddle . when mr . robot tells a dreaming elliot in the most recent episode , \u201cthis is temporary ; we always did have a destination , \u201d it\u2019s one of those moments where you hope that he\u2019s right .\nmovie , she does a clumsy cheerleader routine , while cheering for gohan to fight at the tournament , obviously embarrassing him . also , in a filler episode called\nhe ' s always late\n, when she ' s dancing , trunks remarks\nyour mom ' s obviously as cool as your outfit , goten .\ngoten them asks gohan if he thinks her ( chi - chi ' s ) outfit is cool . gohan couldn ' t give a straight answer , as he was embarrassed . then again , in chi - chi ' s defense , she was raised in seclusion , so she probably lacks good social skills and probably doesn ' t know she ' s being embarrassing .\nmomanela : [ mr . game & watch ] would make a good tattoo . where would you put that ? okay , where would you put that tattoo , on your body ? i ' d like to know . tell me right now ; time is ticking . let me know . masae : my . . . my shoulder . momanela : [ disappointed sigh ] masae : what ? momanela : okay , go on . masae : what ? momanela : right here , by your right - masae : no ! momanela : you know , right above your - masae : no ! anyway , what number was that again , sorry ? momanela : even the lip of your - masae : no !\nit doesn\u2019t help that for much of season two , characters were so scattered that their storylines rarely intersected in meaningful ways . only recently have a few converged : angela and darlene are now working to hack the fbi in order to hide their involvement in the downfalls of allsafe and e corp . elliot is helping out as best as he can when he\u2019s not engaged in various existential and ontological struggles . the fbi agent dom dipierro ( grace gummer ) is digging around in angela\u2019s business . when characters do meet , their dialogue often borders on overwritten ( see : any mr . robot screed ) or just plain goofy ( \u201ccontrol is about as real as a one - legged unicorn taking a leak at the end of a double rainbow . \u201d )\nnearly every commentator criticized this prologue and epilogue . janet maslin conceded that these scenes are among the film ' s\nfew false notes .\nothers derided this opening and closing as\nmaudlin ,\ncompletely unnecessary ,\nand\na burst of schmaltzy ritual .\nin fact , most writers simply ignored the prologue . anthony lane , for example , writing in the new yorker , described the first half - hour of the film as\nthe most telling battle scenes ever made\nwithout bothering to note that one must first wade through five minutes of schmaltz to get to omaha beach . ( later in his essay , mr . lane did make quite clear that he had no patience for spielberg ' s\nsappy epilogue .\n)\nall of which is to say that , right now , mr . robot is at risk of being remembered as one of those shows with a stellar first season that couldn\u2019t quite keep the magic for season two . notable examples include unreal , true detective , twin peaks , and the walking dead ( which eventually regained its footing for a while ) . each of these shows had significant behind - the - scenes changes between seasons that affected what eventually went up on screen , whether it was showrunner departures , network interference , or not enough network interference . usa took a big , but reasonable risk letting esmail serve as the director and showrunner for the entire season . this has led to virtuoso scenes like elliot\u2019s adderall high and the house of technological horrors but , oddly , not to a cohesive overall vision .\nlife on mr . bone ' s plantation initially is good with a colored schoolteacher and a political scene still monitored by republicans from the north . then the original owner of the plantation , colonel dye , buys it back ( with money borrowed from yankees ) . life reverts back to almost how it was before slavery , with segregation and violence against blacks who step out of line . the blacks start fleeing north because of the worsening conditions . initially the whites do not care , but soon they try to stop the flight . ned , who is now almost seventeen , joins a committee that helps blacks leave . colonel dye warns jane that ned must stop , but when he will not , ku klux klan members arrive at jane ' s house . ned is not home when they come and is able to flee the plantation later that night . jane does not want to leave her secure life , so they separate with sadness . ned goes to kansas , gets an education , and eventually joins the u . s . army to fight in cuba . jane soon marries joe pittman ( without an official ceremony ) . despite colonel dye ' s attempts to keep them , joe and jane soon move to a ranch near the texas - louisiana border where joe has found a job breaking horses .\nanderson\u2019s generational barbs generally lack anger , which is what makes the darker undertones of moonrise kingdom surprising . the typical pattern of his movies involves conflict between older and younger characters that dissolves into rapprochement . the royal tenenbaums provides the most obvious example of this , but even bottle rocket , which at first glance appears to be an exception , succumbs to this logic : at the end of the movie , dignan has \u201cno hard feelings\u201d toward mr . henry after his betrayal , and bob is re - establishing family ties with his jerk older brother future man ( andrew wilson ) , who has been bullying him relentlessly throughout the movie . moonrise kingdom intriguingly mixes a little more strychnine into the sugar bowl , in the sense that suzy\u2019s relationship with her parents never truly unfreezes . as link notes in his review of the movie , moonrise kingdom offers more than \u201ca polite and ultimately benevolent act of generational warfare , \u201d since when suzy says she hates her mother , she \u201creally means what she says . \u201d when the movie leaves its protagonists , they\u2019re still sneaking around . sam exits the bishop home via a window , while the camera catches suzy pausing in a doorway , hesitating and glancing out at something very briefly\u2014some hatch from which to escape ? a family member to confront ? a hypothetical observer to challenge ? \u2014and then walks out of her preadolescence .\nwith the ad copy saying it all ,\ngeorge lopez goes to summer camp !\n, this nickelodeon original will be available as a blu - ray / dvd combo pack on june 23 .

for - night tests , we ruled out that option as well . finally , i thought we could use headlamps and flashlights held by our actors as our key light sources to overpower any ambient moonlight i could muster . and even though we couldn\u2019t light the passing landscape , we searched for distant points of light along the train route , so we could have some frame of reference that we were actually on a moving train . for the closeups , i framed the dark night sky in the background and used a fan to simulate wind . hopefully , you can\u2019t tell what we shot practically and what we shot poor man\u2019s process !\nackerman , forrest j ( 1916\u20132008 ) . american science fiction fan and actor .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nlakeith stanfield and his sorry to bother you director boots riley discuss the stress of filming sex scenes .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nthe complex love story of a jake , a man with aspergers syndrome and his girlfriend blair and how the two navigate their not always perfect love affair .\nenjoy a night in with these popular movies available to stream now with prime video .\nsorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\nbut until that point , it\u2019s a wonderfully odd and fairly original slasher . henry thomas plays a guy with obvious problems who goes out of his way to \u201cmeet cute\u201d with a girl ( kelli garner ) and then spends the next half hour berating her and generally being a huge dick . normally this would make a movie unwatchable ( not to mention entirely implausible ) , but the script establishes that the girl has a real asshole for a boyfriend , which means she likes assholes , and is thus conceivably interested in at least talking to thomas despite his behavior . and she\u2019s just as bitter toward him , so you get all of these traditional scenes ( they meet in a laundromat , go out for thai food , etc ) but they\u2019re endlessly insulting each other in wholly loathsome ways .\nthe slasher stuff comes in from a party that she was supposed to attend . it\u2019s the usual sort of\n( where a peeping tom is offed instead of the two fornicating youths ) . but the difference is that our killer has a voice box and is sort of inept ( when a victim kicks him in the balls , he mutters \u201cah , no fair ! \u201d ) , and he\u2019s into using oddball elements such as a tree saw . he also knocks two folks in a pit , and then tosses down a rope . since they think it\u2019s just one of their friends playing a gag , they begin to climb the rope , unaware that the other end is tied to an alligator . hahahaha , awesome .\nand it\u2019s obvious that the writers know their slasher movies . in addition to the\n( this might be wishful thinking on my part ) . i also dug a pov shot from the heroine\u2019s perspective -

american shakespearean actor ira aldridge ( 1807 - 67 ) hadn\u2019t existed , admirers of john douglas thompson\u2019s award - winning stage portrayals might have been tempted to invent him .\nwe first encounter aldridge during the poignant twilight of his career . on tour in poland , he\u2019s interrogated by an ambitious but inept young woman reporter ( christianna nelson ) , occasioning a flashback to what was surely his finest hour . for two nights , in 1833 , aldridge stepped in for an ailing edmund kean during a london run of \u201cothello . \u201d not only did he thereby break a color barrier which , unbelievably , persists to this day ( the metropolitan opera\u2019s decision to forgo blackface for an upcoming production recently made headlines ) , but also aldridge is credited \u2014 at least in this fictionalized rendering \u2014 with trying to nudge his fellow practitioners toward a more naturalistic acting style .\nvaron establishes the norms of the day brilliantly , starting with a stylized company salute ( en d\u00e9shabille ) and continuing with balletic scene changes set to piano adagios . these interludes , replacing the usual rushed , apologetic shuffle , suggest an era of greater leisure and formality . and yes , the company , once assembled , proves hilariously grandiose in both word and gesture \u2014 especially young charles kean ( ben chase ) , who naturally assumes that , in his famous father\u2019s absence , he\u2019ll be promoted to the title role . every good drama needs a powerful villain , and chase\u2019s charles \u2014 the embodiment of unbridled racist animus , as well as a big , spoiled baby \u2014 ably shoulders the task .\none premise of the play is that aldridge\u2019s more realistic , less robotically physicalized portrayal proved too intense for the times : audiences apparently loved him ( attendance spiked ) , but the critics were merciless . their objections \u2014 relayed verbatim \u2014 constitute a time capsule of odious stereotype . these passages are shocking to hear , and it\u2019s tempting to relegate such slurs to the distant past \u2014 yet one has only to think back to new york theater critic john simon\u2019s racist commentary from the 1970s , when color - blind casting was just coming to the fore .\nin chakrabarti\u2019s retelling , another touchpoint arousing public censure in london ( the production shut down after only two performances ) was aldridge\u2019s apparent success in getting his desdemona \u2014 here , the luminous kelley curran \u2014 to appear more responsive . one problem with the british cast ( which featured a rather mature desdemona \u2014 true to the standards of the day , but distracting ) is that they never fully shed their stiffness . in curran\u2019s sensitive rendition , a staid , formulaic actress gradually softens , professionally and personally . the upshot is that desdemona\u2019s reaction to the moor\u2019s murderous embrace ends up so rapturous , slanderous insinuations are certain to ensue .\neven under varon\u2019s enlivening hand , the play starts on a bumpy note : why allot so much stage time to the polish reporter\u2019s interrogation , except to stuff it with clumsy exposition ? but there\u2019s another reason , revealed only when the framing device is picked up again at play\u2019s end . prepare to discover your heart lurching into your throat . thompson , having masterfully portrayed a young man at the height of his furious , insistent powers , retains an ember of that passion as an old , not entirely defeated trouper still dedicated to his craft , whatever the cost .\ncassandra clark ' s book is a cheat \u2013 but it cheats in the way that most authoritative historical crime fiction must . after all , any attempt to recreate the speech ( and thought processes ) of characters living in the 14th century has to be a conjuring trick that convinces us we ' re in the distant past , but doesn ' t render the language so archaic that it ' s impossible to relate to the characters .\nclark is one of the most sure - footed practitioners of this difficult genre . she treads a careful line between current language and persuasive - sounding period speech which reads as if it might have been spoken in 1383 , when england is ruled by john of gaunt .\nthis linguistic balancing act is only one of clark ' s accomplishments ; like c j sansom in his tudor series , she boasts the most precious skill a historical writer can possess : the ability to transport the reader into a distant era , corralling all the sights , sounds and smells of the past . some may regret that her heroine , the nun hildegard , is yet one more in the overcrowded ranks of ecclesiastical sleuths , but clark makes the best possible case for her verisimilitude .\nhildegard is a widow , wealthy , educated and independent , but choosing to live as a nun . at a time when travel is a dangerous enterprise , she is sent from her base in yorkshire in search of a priceless relic , the cross of constantine . political turmoil is the order of the day in england , with the crown at stake . many would like to see hildegard fail in her mission .\nsince ellis peters and umberto eco started the medieval ball rolling , a slew of historical novelists have mastered such techniques . what distinguishes clark in this sprawling , peripatetic narrative is the characterisation of her heroine . again , clark might be said to be cheating : a rich , tough and resourceful woman who survives much danger in the 14th century , and , what ' s more , is a nun ? but such is clark ' s dexterity that we are willing to accept the premise .\nportrait of john cale by craig mcdean / art + commerce . all images courtesy of the kitchen .\nthe making of lawrence weiner ' s do you believe in water at the kitchen in 1976 , photo \u00a9 daniel buren .\nthe kitchen ' s spring gala will take place on monday , april 17 at the hammerstein ballroom in manhattan . learn more about the event on the kitchen ' s website .\nthe met gala was lit . . . by one dress | insta of the week"]}

knife .\nit ' s 1984 and a group of young , horny , out of control christians led by father cummings ( reggie bannister ) are spending a fun filled weekend at the happy day bible camp . all ignore the warnings from the local folk of the grizzly murders that took place 7 years prior by a sadistic crazy nun . is sister mary chopper ( tim sullivan ) dead or is she just waiting for backsliding christians to commit sins of the unholy , and will jesus ( ron jeremy ) need to lend a hand to save the day ?\ntowards the film ' s climax , a counselor named zeke prepares to sneak away from the camp to by alcohol , which he plans on using to get the female campers drunk to have sex with them . chopper confronts him about his sin , quotes the 23 psalm and decapitates him .\nthis is a bad film , but it\u2019s one of those intentionally bad films that\u2019s really pretty decent when all things are considered . i mean when ron jeremy is jesus in said film you really know what you\u2019re going for in the end . anyway the plot revolves around a group of i guess they\u2019re supposed to be teenagers visiting a bible camp , most of which seem to be there against their will . it\u2019s all so over the top and horribly acted that it\u2019s really quite comical in a good way . the prequel opening is actually very well done and honestly is better than the real film , but seeing these perverse characters killed off by a gender confused religious character never got\u2026\nas the second group of\nchristian\ncampers head to the camp , they stop at a gas station , which is coincidentally run by j . j . and tad , the brothers of the mentally disabled survivor . when millie sees him , she hides in the van to avoid detection while he tells them about sister mary chopper .\nthis reminds me a lot of sleepaway camp 5 , but there ' s no successful franchise behind it to really give it it ' s push into holding your attention . i feel like this could have been a decent sequel to a film before it ? it ' s not really bad though , reggie bannister is good in it .\nthere is something for everyone in this wild , sexy and gory take on 80 ' s horror films ! from the unbelievable funny songs to the smoking hot ( and naked ) babes to the gory killings and the super - freaky cast , bloody is by far the absolute best indie horror film to come out in years . it moves quick , delivers bloody ( as the title suggest ) and even has a campground to take you back to the greatest decade of horror - 1980s ! reggie bannister is back in excellent form as the leader of this goofy pack of campers , and tim sullivan continues to entertain on the other side of the camera . and , if those two weren ' t enough , ron jeremy of adult film stardom is probably the craziest jesus ever put on film . do yourself a favor - watch this film . it is coming out on vod very soon , i caught it at texas frightmare . . .\none of the survivors became mentally disabled do to massive blood loss and the other , whose name was\ngloria\nchanged her name to\nmillie\nand became a counselor at the same camp seven years later in hopes of curing her ptsd ( seen when she hallucinates a man covered in blood crawling up the foot of her bed grudge - style ) .\nled by father cummings , many years later , a new group of horny teens are heading to the camp . this bunch of dim - witted characters are just here for the slaughter , character development is unnecessary when you\u2019re getting conversations about the size of jesus\u2019s dick . or how about characters declaring that they need their \u2018rusty starfish\u2019 licked because there is no toilet paper ? they\u2019re a classy bunch !\nin 1977 , an all - out massacre transpired there . several years later , in 1984 , a church group pays a visit to the camp , with the intent of acquiring it for god\u0092s work . given the history , they expect to pick up the property for a song . unfortunately for the church group , sister mary chopper has other plans . sister mary is up to her old tricks and she intends to make the campers pay for their sins with their lives .\nwe return with another edition of the indie spotlight , highlighting the recent independent horror news sent our way . today\u2019s feature includes first details on chainsaw sally : the animated series , release information for toxin , patrick : evil awakens , and rabid love , a trailer for one please , and much more : chainsaw sally animated series : \u201chorror\u2019s anti - heroine , chainsaw sally , to be the center of a brand new animated television series . the series will be a spinoff of the chainsaw sally show starring april monique burril and created by jimmyo burril . the burrils are directly involved with the show . \u201c chainsaw sally is lovable and brutal ; the epitome of what a vigilante should be in the horror realm . bloody bombshell entertainment and fatality films are elated to make this dream a reality in the coming months . horror fans watch out \u2013 we\u2019re determined to change the way you think about horror programming .\nnext , timmy ( the camp geek ) is killed for getting in chopper ' s way , by smashing his skull with a cinder - block , an act that betty ( a camper ) and millie witness , and they flee to a cabin . chopper approaches father cumming ' s cabin and violently slashes his face and neck with the crucifix - knife . meanwhile millie reveals her true identity , but is promptly murdered by chopper for having on - and - off lesbian tendencies . betty runs from her , and encounters a camper who had been tortured by chopper and crucified across a doorway . she helps him down in an attempt to save him , but he tells her to run and tackles chopper who had snuck up behind betty . the two struggle , but he / she pushes him off and stabs him twice , killing him , before continuing chasing betty .\ni know nothing about bible camps ( or \u201ccamps\u201d generally , sorry to any american readers ) but from this film , i gather that everyone that goes to them is horny and way older than i\u2019d have expected summer - campers to be . in 1977 , we meet a group of campers , a fairly horrible group if truth be told . the discussion about the size of god\u2019s penis was one of those moments designed early on to tell you what sort of film you\u2019re going to get , and i laughed . ugly nerdy looking men drug some beautiful women with spanish fly ; one of them is killed while he\u2019s mid - penetration with what turns out to be the girl\u2019s headless corpse , and the other is slaughtered while on the toilet . this entire thing , apart from the killings i suppose , has a real improv feel to it which i rather like , and i was sort of bummed out when the killer finished their work quite quickly and we jump forward to 1984 .\nmeanwhile , father cummings , who is revealed to have survived , has a conversation with\njesus\n( comedically played by ron jeremy ) who tells him his only hope for getting into heaven , is if he stops sister mary chopper from killing more people , a deal he agrees to . meanwhile , the mentally disabled survivor from the first murder spree comes back to the camp , realizing the campers are in danger . his two hillbilly brothers come to stop him , but j . j . is stabbed in the neck , and he falls on tad . because j . j . was morbidly obese , tad ' s ribs and stomach are smashed , killing him as well . this distracts chopper and father cummings manages to get the knife from him / her while betty watches in horror . chopper lunges at him , and he holds out the knife , which impales and kills him / her .\ni had heard alot of hype before i decided to pick up this new slasher . all positive reviews , people saying how much fun it was and how much they loved it . i mean reggie banister is in it , how could they go wrong . well , to answer that question : alot can go wrong and not much gone right .\n) . the legend of mary chopper is still talked about but nothing has happened in 7 years . is she still around ? guess you will have to find out !\nthere really is not much to say in the synopsis of this film . the story is really not very elaborate . the film was given the 70 ' s and 80 ' s feel of a true slasher . slashers usually do not have much of a storyline anyway . hey , who needs good writers to make a movie ? the truth of the matter is this is one of those movies that are so so bad that they are enjoyable . i expected so much more out of this . maybe i built it up a little too much before i finally watched it .\nthe acting was so bad . even reggie was pretty horrible . his performance was really almost laughable . i don ' t think there was meant to be anything good about the acting or the deaths or the quality of the film . i am going to say it was meant to be as corny and just downright dumb as it looked . at least that ' s what i am hoping for . i do believe that if you would take the background story away from the killer it would have been a little better . as it stands it really just made it all that much more weirder . the death scenes could have used a little sprucing up as well . there are good deaths , then their are the deaths when you raise you eyebrows and say what the fuck !\ndespite my rambling on about this movie i really did enjoy myself . because , well , i seem to like really bad movies . it does hold a certain amount of charm , and let ' s face it when reggie bannister is in a horror movie you need to see it whether its good or bad . i liked much of the humor in the movie because i went to a catholic school and was around nuns alot . not the nicest people you could meet . to see a killer nun and and alot of dirty catholic humor makes me smile a little . stay twisted everyone !\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nlakeith stanfield and his sorry to bother you crew reveal their most soul -

( mr )\nrestoration is a relatively recent phenomenon in the timeline of film history , seldom undertaken before the 1970s . stimulated by the advent of the home - video market and cable movie - channels , restoration efforts gained momentum in the 1980s and 1990s , with several high - profile examples ( napoleon , lawrence of arabia , vertigo ) winning attention and even a degree of box - office success .\nwhen rogers st . johns was a newspaper reporter she covered the real - life trial of gabrielle darley who was acquitted of murdering her philandering husband in 1915 , and the story later became good fodder for mrs . wallace reid production\u2019s \u201csins of the world\u201d series . a small - town teacher marries a dandy and they move to new orleans . abandoned by him in storyville , the city\u2019s notorious red - light district , gabrielle gets by the only way she can . when she finds her husband buying an engagement ring for another lover , she shoots him dead . when the real gabrielle darley saw the film , she sued for $ 50 , 000 or $ 60 , 000 ( depending on the source ) . according to variety the suit was settled out of court in 1932 . scenario by dorothy arzner , who directed her first film ,\ndubbed \u201cthe ingmar bergman of 42nd street , \u201d joe sarno stood out among porn - purveyors of the pre - hardcore era for his films\u2019 strong scripts , solid acting , and classy cinematography , though with a decidedly non - bergmanesque penchant for campy dialogue and bountiful breasts . sarno\u2019s films were also distinctive for their concentration on women and female desire . men are indeed peripheral in vibrations , a manhattan tale of two sisters \u2014 one promiscuous , the other prudish \u2014 whose tense , incest - inflected relationship is aggravated by the passionate sounds emanating from the room next door , where a free - spirited nymph engages in group sex and lengthy bouts with ( to quote one reviewer ) \u201ca vibrator the size of a canned ham . \u201d as an added attraction , the film\u2019s running time is padded out with evocative views of rainy - day new york ca . 1967 . prores digital restoration from film movement . ( mr )\nthis success gave pickford incredible bargaining power . in 1916 she negotiated a contract that gave her a $ 10 , 000 - dollar a week salary , 50 percent of her film profits , and her own production company . pickford had to sign off on every aspect of her productions , from the script to the director . she was even known to have a hand in editing . during these years she worked with directors maurice tourneur and marshall neilan , the writer frances marion , and made some of the best features of her career , including\nfairbanks has an atypically serious role in this fascinating early anti - western that stays remarkably true to the anti - racist sentiments of the 1883 bret harte novella (\nin the carquinez woods\n) on which it is based . he plays lo dorman , the offspring of an indian woman who killed herself when his white father deserted her . arriving in the western town of excelsior , lo attracts the interest of the town flirt and the jealousy of her male admirers . he retreats to the nearby woods ( with spectacular scenery filmed in sequoia national park ) , but the arrival of a snake oil salesman and his mexican mistress ( rubens ) threatens the half - breed ' s sanctuary . the film takes a resoundingly dim view of the white townspeople ; there is not an admirable one in the lot . in the end , its sympathies lie with neither the whites nor the indians , but with the archetypal american figure of the outcast . this restoration includes elements from the excavation that is detailed in dawson city : frozen time ( playing sept . 15 - 20 ) . silent film with recorded music score by donald sosin on thursday . 2k dcp digital restoration from kino lorber .

, the interest towards teaching had arisen within me , to guide the students in a right direction , resulted in leaving my public sector undertaking job , after 26 years of valuable service . his stressing the need for righteousness , justice , and affection towards parents , respect to the elders and to do good things for the development of community , rendering possible assistance to others , through his films really attracted me like magnet . i consider him as god in view of his laudable hard efforts made for the upliftment of down - trodden people , when he was film personality and also a charismatic chief minister . not only the people of tamil nadu but the tamilians wherever live in the world , always remember him and express their gratitude for his implementation of people oriented schemes that derived benefits for the needy . he is the one , incomparable with other leaders by virtue of his protecting the interest of tamilians and tamil nadu . i request the thread users

( and even though his role in maya memsaab is a supporting one , and he\u2019s among the last of the actors to be named in the credits , the dvd box features a huge picture of him , proudly announces \u201cstarring shahrukh khan\u201d , and does not mention anyone else in the cast . )\nthe story is narrated in flashback as a reconstruction of the life of maya . the film ends very tragically when her house is auctioned and she appears to be engulfed by her fantasy life .\nas a teenager , sexcapades that questioned the sanctity of marriage weren ' t exactly on the top of my parents ' list of what they would allow me to watch at home and in the supervised and scarce trips to the cinema hall . so when i finally caught up with maya memsaab , ketan mehta ' s colonized interpretation of gustave flaubert ' s emma bovary , the pigeon - chested actor who made uninhibited love to the sultry deepa sahi immediately had my attention .\nnew delhi : i ' ll be honest . i have never liked shah rukh khan ' s acting . i have never been a fan of the hamming the actor has now nurtured into an art form . my bias should disqualify me from writing a balanced opinion on a man who has evidently lived a dream for 23 years . but khan made me a promise twenty years ago when he appeared in the film maya memsaab and i intend to hold him to that today .\nspoiler to anyone who hasn ' t seen maya yet well , in the end , i guess maya died because she drank that potion thing . and like the seller guy said ,\nanyone who has a bit of evil in their hearts will have unthinkable consequences\n. so , it ' s a bit magical in a way , i guess . the message ? uhmmm , maybe do good ? not quite sure of the message myself .\nearly in the film , a street vendor is hawking assorted mystical potions outside of maya\u2019s house . one of the things he\u2019s selling is an \u201celixir of wishes\u201d ; if someone with a pure heart drinks from it , he will get his wish , but of the heart isn\u2019t pure he will recieve a terrible curse . when the vendor is arrested , the pharmacist takes the elixir , and it\u2019s not too much of a spoiler to say that in the end it\u2019s maya who drinks . the film tries to create a little ambiguity about whether maya\u2019s heart is pure or not ; by the end of the film she\u2019s wishing to escape er life entirely , and that\u2019s what she seems to get ( though the narrator at the end is a bit unreliable . ) still , maya betrays and financially ruins her husband ( the only man who truly mourns her death ) simply because her life doesn\u2019t measure up to her fantasies .\nwhat sexual awakening was to thousands of teenagers in the optimistic 90s , shah rukh was to indian cinema . he was yet to discover his best camera profile and the scope of his dimples . he has , since then , scaled buildings , detonated bombs and brought roses to his sweetheart at midnight , but his super stardom has taken its bloody toll . he has lost the nerve he once showed in revealing his imperfect body in maya memsaab and reneged on the promise he made to his converts in the 90s to always select good cinema over money .\nthe only really \u201cfilmi\u201d thing about maya memsaab is shahrukh\u2019s performance . as lalit , he displays most of the usual srk quirks , but within the naturalistic world of the film , the effect is quite different . lalit is just as passionate and devoted as the usual srk romantic hero , but with one key difference : lalit doesn\u2019t worry about the \u2018proper way\u201d to get what he wants . he doesn\u2019t balk for a second at romancing a married woman , and he\u2019s certainly not the type to put off the conclusion of a romance until he can receive his beloved from the hand of her own father . lalit just wants maya , and he doesn\u2019t care how he gets her . now , this doesn\u2019t make him an evil person , but it certainly doesn\u2019t make him a hero , either ; he\u2019s careless , and that makes him dangerous .\nas the film opens , maya ( deepa sahi ) is dead , and her story unfolds in a series of flashbacks as the police interview the various men in her life . maya grew up in a crumbling mansion with only her father and her books for company . when she marries the recently widowed dr . charu das ( farooq shaikh ) , she\u2019s happy at first , but grows steadily more disenchanted when her new life fails to live up to her romantic fantasies ; she\u2019s especially disappointed when , after faking her own grisly demise , charu\u2019s first instinct is to phone the police rather than to promptly attempt suicide .\nmaya ( deepa sahj ) says she has everything she could possibly want , with a decent but awkward professional man as a husband , and two lovely daughters . however , she is just as attracted to men as they are to her , and she falls into and out of any number of disastrous sexual liaisons . indeed , she eventually cuts such a swath through society that the police are looking for some way to remove her from circulation , and concoct something called\nthe maya scandal\nto permit them to put her away . this tragic melodrama is based on madame bovary by gustave flaubert . ~ clarke fountain , all movie guide .\nhere in the movie , we see maya making a choice of walking out of her house to fulfill her dreams . she makes changes to her own life which adversely affect her innocent husband . now he is left with nothing else but a bunch of questions for his wife which will be answered only when nature takes him to her .\ndirector ketan mehta , who was involved in the 3d conversion of 1975 film sholay , said revisiting the classic with the new technology was challengingproducer gp sippy\u2019s grandsons approached ketan mehta for the 3d conversion of the amitabh bachchan - dharmendra starrer through his maya digital studios . the film is being released in 3d on january 3 , 2014 [ \u2026 ]\nwell , in the end , i guess maya died because she drank that potion thing . and like the seller guy said ,\nanyone who has a bit of evil in their hearts will have unthinkable consequences\n. so , it ' s a bit magical in a way , i guess . the message ?

the spiritual head of the new order he established in the early 90s and sustained for the next 10 years paring competition from two other emerging stars - aamir and salman - both intense and utterly focussed on using the consumerist audiences of the age of liberalization to their advantage .\nlike an ageing rockstar who remembers the heady aphrodisiac of a stadium full of screaming girls , shah rukh keeps trying to recreate the magnetic hold he had on his audience 10 years ago as a monument to his ego in films such as ra . one . his is a career well lived . he is wealthy beyond all comparison and has established a fan base that few actors can emulate .\nmy life may seem glamorous from the outside but off screen it ' s as ordinary as anyone else ' s . i want people to know that movie stars live a normal , middle - class life ,\nhe told the bbc at the time of releasing the documentaries by filmmaker nasreen muni kabir on his outer and inner worlds .\nyet he rarely ever chooses scripts that do not revolve around the central theme of ' shah rukh khan ' . he rarely ever shares screen space , except in his early years , with some one who is his true competition . in shimit amin ' s chak de india shah rukh gave a stellar performance due to the strong ensemble cast and the fact that the focus was evenly shared by a team of good actors .\nshah rukh has been told , over and over again , by the men he trusted his career , and by default his life with , he looked cute when he nodded his head a certain way or like a devil - may - care cary grant when his hair was brushed away from his forehead . nobody would ever dispute his contribution to cinema . he is the single most important face a billion people the world over identify indian cinema , its culture and the masculinity and fabulous wealth of its men with . i will not waste your time running you through a laundry list of his films and achievements , his endorsements and the sheer discipline with which he has built himself an empire in mumbai .\ni see him as a middle - aged realist with sharp intelligence but too entrapped in his super stardom to realize the message his changing audiences are sending him in his friday outings at the box office . yes , ra . one made money , and so has don 2 . but the man on the street , which he himself once was at the time of circus and dil dariya , is losing interest in the hamming , in the lined forehead and the body tortured in the gym to keep the tapering waist even in his middle age .\nwould you , shah rukh khan , see your own films , if they were showed to you back in 1988 when you valued character - driven performance ? how would you rate your acting ? i doubt if he would answer those questions .\nif they were to put up a statue of him at bandra it would have its arms outstretched and head tilted back - a pose his fans interpret as welcoming both the malice and the love he has received over 20 years . which is not inconsiderable . he is the first hero to give back to his fans as much as he got , welcoming them into his drawing room . if only he knew when to stop .\nat the height of his success , shah rukh , with good humour and the shrewd derision he often directed at himself , said he has learnt to live with the burden of his fame . in a candid interview with his friend and filmmaker karan johar , he said he would always be king khan in his mind and amongst the people who love him . the first cracks in the good humour have started to show now .\ndespite protestations that opinion of film critics do not matter , the stress is showing after repeated thrashing from opinion makers across the board on two of his last films , ra . one and don 2 , which were almost his children in the amount of love and attention he had bestowed on them . he had exhausted himself promoting ra . one on a scale that has never happened before and previously thought impossible .\nthe sulking star is now in the news for slapping filmmaker farah khan ' s husband shirish kunder , a lightweight in the pecking order of the industry . he is taken to making potshots at rivals , dressing in drag at major award shows and masquerading a barely concealed jealousy at the success of a hugely successful risque film under the garb of genial humour .\ni mean it the kindest way , but it ' s time to say goodbye . shah rukh will not be able to keep up with the formidable crowd forming at bollywood ' s second rung every day , neither will he be able to accept a character role that is not an ode to his super stardom . for as long as his friends in the industry keep shaping his career he will find a hit or the other . but now is a good a time as any for a dignified exit from playing the romantic hero opposite heroines half his age and

gradually the monotony of marriage starts setting in . the boredom of a small - town , middle - class existence starts becoming oppressive , and she finds escape in a series of extramarital affairs . at the same time , her craving for a more glamorous life leads her to the fantasies of romance and passion . she seeks refuge in the extravagant , hoping that possessing symbols of luxury will provide her some satisfaction , but it only leads her to duplicity , debt and despair .\neven her extramarital relationships , at first platonic , then passionate , end up as pathetically possessive , making

knows . the cops now go places visiting many people asking them questions regarding the death . everyone tells what they know about the one who is dead . but no one seems to know everything about the dead woman . who is the right person to ask ? obviously me . i am the one who knows everything that happened with me . so what are these cops doing asking a bunch of fools who know bits n ' ' pieces of the story ? they are just trying to gather everything they can get and stitch it together to make up a conclusion for themselves .\na thin ductile line that passes between fiction n ' ' reality . which side of the line do we choose to live in ? are we happy with the reality or do we cross the thin line to choose fiction instead ? i don ' ' t know about the others , but i chose fiction for myself .\nit rained heavily that very day . it seemed beautiful as never before as the drops of water touched the earth . as usual i was in the world of my romantic novels . just then , something went crashing . to my bewilderment , i found dad painfully sitting on the floor with a broken leg . i lifted him up and helped him to his bed . then i called a doctor . he came in straight from the door into my heart . he had got wet in the rains . he had that cute lill ' ' not so perfect attitude . but that was what i fall in love with . soon i found a new life waiting for me with open arms . marriage changed everything for me . it gave me a way to accomplish my dreams . nothing has been so beautiful . a house of my own which i can decorate as i want , a loving husband , freedom . . . . . and beauty ; i can feel it as it comes upon me with each passing day . days passed by and these beauty , dreams , house decorations , my husband ' ' s love all seemed to grow into a casual activity .\nwhere were my dreams to lead my life in fiction ? they were still not accomplished and they don ' ' t even care to get accomplished in a middle class environment . i had to chase them badly . i needed to reach extremities of love , passion , wealth . . . . i needed it all for myself . i wanted to see men drinking out of my hands . but my husband seems to be a satisfied human being in all respects . no spark ignites the madness that i want to see in my partner . he thinks these are just my fantasies . and if they are fantasies , i want them right here in my life . that ' ' s it . i thought it all for myself .\none fine day i walked out of my house as if i was never there . don ' ' t know what my husband must have thought of me then . but then who cares . i had to live my dreams , my passions , my fantasies . . . .\ni wanted to lead a life with all the riches . i wanted to buy love . i wanted sources of money for all these dreams . my journey of fantasies saw many men in n ' ' out of my life as i wanted them to . but nothing seemed to quench my thirst for my fantasies . i was enjoying the bliss of making men dance on my finger tips . but my affairs soon became as boring as my marriage was . the money i had borrowed too had finished . i had to repay it . but how ? everything has come to an end . my house will be auctioned and gone for ever . i tried all my sources to repay the debt , but all men turned out to be bloody hypocrites and cowards . i couldn ' ' t see a way out .\ni returned home . my husband was enthralled to see me back . he kept asking questions . i payed no heed to them . i sat on my chair thinking of where my fantasies had taken me to . then something wierd happened . something magical . very much like my fantasies . as i wanted life to be , it ended in the same way . i drank a magical potion which saw me making my way out of this middle class environment to a world where i still search my life full of fantasies . when will this journey end ? when will i conquer all my passions and fantasies ? i still wait desperately for the day to come .\nit had to happen the day i walked out of my house hunting for my dreams . but nothing won in satisfieing me . the fact being that i didn ' ' t exactly know what i was chasing . it was just a faint idea to be free . but did i commit a mistake ? is chasing one ' ' s dreams a sin ? i did whatever i felt like doing . no boundaries were meant for me . i broke free from all the clutches of my society . i had crossed that line between reality and fiction . but if i had really crossed that line why wasn ' ' t i able to continue the way i was living ? where did this money factor come in between my path ? isn ' ' t money just a part of the fictious life ? but the reality is that even my fictious life was based on dirty money itself . so i was just fooling myself thinking that i was living it my way . i was still living in the same reality . fiction was just virtual . it was me who had created this virtual world for myself . with the fact that it was based on real money , reality caught hold of me , as soon as this money was drained in the labour towards completion of my dreams .\ni don ' t know if i ever crossed the thin line between reality and fiction , but yes , i did cross the thin line of my limits . the limits of every human being which were transparent to me .\nthe

' agre ka launda ' pintoo is a one man army bashing hundreds of gundas all through the film .\ntevar is an indian action drama film directed by amit sharma and written by gunasekhar . it is a remake of a 2003 telugu film okkadu directed by gunasekhar . the film stars arjun kapoor , sonakshi sinha and manoj bajpayee .\ni am hungry for good work . after\ntevar\ni was not 100 per cent physically , emotionally and mentally strong . i had done six back to back films ,\narjun said in an interview here .\nactor arjun kapoor \u2019s next film , which is being produced by his father boney kapoor , is titled as \u2018tevar\u2019 . the film has now got a name as filmmaker aditya chopra decided to give away the title to the kapoors .\ntevar can effectively treat aortic arch pathology in high - risk patients with low morbidity and mortality . tevar and branch vessel revascularization techniques may be extended to the more proximal arch without increased complications compared with patients with subclavian only involvement . stroke remains the most significant drawback of arch interventions . indications for intervention , graft selection , and revascularization choices may all affect outcome . lsa sacrifice is associated with increased sci and may predispose left - handed patients to symptomatic weakness .\nthe film becomes a watch because of it ' s power packed dialogues written by shantanu shrivastava . if given a choice between friends and family , we suggest you go with your friends to watch this flick . tevar is a one time watch .\nconclusion : ' tevar ' possesses the tried tested and trusted massy \u2018zevar\u2019 and is packed by terrific action and performances of arjun , manoj and sonakshi but the length and baffling climax reduces the required \u2018paisa vassol\u2019 flavor a bollywood masala curry should have .\nit ' s not the first time that the 26 - year - old has been injured . whether it was a sprained foot or a bruised one , injury has been part of her work and now it ' s on the sets of \u201ctevar\u201d .\ntevar - - yet another of those mindless south remakes we have been indulging in so faithfully ever since aamir khan showed us the way in ghajini - - is a tiring slog , devoid of personality , riding unfairly on the shoulders of a young lad .\ntevar also boasts of a few songs , which are apt for festivals coming up in 2015 . with ' superman ' , arjun kapoor proves how great a fan he is of salman bhai . ' music bajega loud to radha nachegi ' , starring sonakshi sinha , is the song which draws gajendra singh ' s attention towards her . in other words , that is where the conflict begins . well , that ' s not the end , tevar also has an item number featuring long - forgotten actress shruti haasan .\nnew delhi : actress sonakshi sinha has a bruised wrist , thanks to a scene in her upcoming film\ntevar\n. it ' s not the first time that the 26 - year - old has been injured . whether it was a sprained foot or\ntevar is directed by well known ad filmmaker amit sharma who decides to shoot in agra and mathura , following the old school trend of setting all gunda mawali stories in uttar pradesh . the entire film promises you bloodbath and action sequences , if not anything else .\nit ' s not the first time that the 26 - year - old has been injured . whether it was a sprained foot or a bruised one , injury has been part of her work and now it ' s on the sets of\ntevar\n.\nwith tevar , he was a hands - on producer . he knew it was my first film as a producer and it also starred his son arjun in it , so he took special interest in the film . i hope he is always there to guide me .\ntevar is reserved for patients without an adequate response to medical therapy . this approach was supported by the initial results of the investigation of stent grafts in patients with acute type b aortic dissection ( instead ) trial , which compared medical management to tevar and found no difference in all - cause mortality at 1 year . 20 the initial conclusion was that uncomplicated dissections should be managed with antihypertensive therapy and close monitoring , and that routine stent grafting was unnecessary . the weaknesses of the study included that it was underpowered to evaluate all - cause mortality , 21 and the inclusion of all patients from 2 weeks postdissection to 52 weeks postdissection raised concerns regarding heterogeneity of the patient population . in contrast , recently published 5 - year follow - up data from the instead xl trial suggest a long - term benefit to tevar , with significant decreases in aorta - specific mortality and disease progression when compared with medical management alone . 22 there was also a trend toward improved overall mortality , although this was not statistically significant . this benefit is thought to be related to improvement in false lumen thrombosis and aortic remodeling , 23 thus precluding the need for open thoracoabdominal aortic surgery in the 20 to 30 % of patients known to undergo aneurysmal degeneration . indeed , false lumen thrombosis is thought to be the most important indicator of successful aortic remodeling when performing tevar for uncomplicated type b dissections , and suggests that broader use of tevar may be of benefit in select patients who have favorable characteristics for remodeling . 24 further study and longer - term follow - up is necessary to delineate the role and optimal timing for tevar in uncomplicated type b dissection .\nconventional repair of aortic arch pathology is associated with significant mortality and stroke rates of 6 - 20 % and 12 % , respectively . because endografting has excellent results for descending thoracic aortic disease , extension of thoracic endovascular repair ( tevar ) to the arch is a consideration .\ninterestingly , tevar has received good footfalls in the mass belts . the film being the year\u2019s first big release was expected to make good numbers but looking at its current pace , it will mint approximately 30 crores plus in its first week and it is quite an average collections .\ntevar is an out - an - out typical masala film . with a clich\u00e9d storyline of a mulit - talented , good - at - heart hero and an extremely notorious and slimy git as the villain , the story is quite predictable . sadly , i found an uncanny resemblance in the storylines of chennai express and tevar especially at the point where the hero is rescuing the girl from bad guys and while it starts out as an innocent friendship , they soon turn lovers . of course , both films are totally different but this premise remains the same .\nprime focus is proud to be associated with arjun kapoor\u2019s movie \u2018tevar\u2019 . directed by amit sharma , the film stars arjun kapoor , sonakshi sinha and manoj bajpayee in lead roles . in addition to have delivered vfx and di for the movie , prime focus has also supplied cameras .\nthis simply - plotted film sloppily carries on and on , and while some action sequences have an intriguingly gritty texture - - at one point a goon slams kapoor in the chest with a giant old - school istri - - tevar emerges an overdone , underwhelming film with zero charm .\nthe first big - budget movie of 2015 , tevar is finally here . the story revolves around a college going girl ( sonakshi sinha ) who catches the fancy of a baddy ( manoj vajpayee ) . to add more interest , the corrupt baddie is a brother of a politician .\na patient presents with an acute type b aortic dissection ( abad ) and malperfusion is in his fifth or sixth decade of life , with a history of hypertension and an acute moment of chest pain and left leg pain ( video 1 ) . he then develops associated abdominal pain and persistent left leg pain with diminishing sensation and movement . this type of patient requires urgent intervention , with the currently preferred modality of treatment being thoracic endovascular aortic repair ( tevar ) ( 1 ) . tevar allows restoration of end - organ perfusion and may allow for favorable reverse remodeling to heal the aorta .\nand like a typical masala film , the hero gets his love , power and fame since he ' s the combination of rambo , terminator and salman khan ( yes , that ' s the dialogue ) . tevar has all the ingredients that we have seen before which is why it lacks freshness .\ncite this article as : van bogerijen gh , williams dm , patel hj . tevar for complicated acute type b dissection with malperfusion . ann cardiothorac surg 2014 ; 3 ( 4 ) : 423 -

3000 screens , the movie directed by amit sharma has been made on the budget of rs 40 cr and is , apparently , struggling to even recover the costs .\nthis is the first time surgeons can practice tevar procedures , including precise deployment of single and multiple stent grafts as well as touch - up ballooning . the procedure rehearsal studio simplifies procedure planning and provides a comprehensive solution for training and simulation of a patient specific procedure to enhance professional level of both experienced and inexperienced physicians .\nafter an exceptional performance in finding fanny , arjun kapoor gets back to his gunday variation , sadly . sonakshi sinha plays the same old dumb character as usual . the person stealing the entire show is manoj bajpayee , playing the gunda with a jockey underwear on , he alone makes up for the acting deficiency that tevar possesses .\nthe exotic babe kind of unofficially holds the action babe title in b - town . but looks liketthe tevar actress is all set to shed her girl - next - door image and give her some tough competition\u2026\u200bpriyanka chopra might have quantico , has even kicked some ass in don , but here\u2019s a new action heroine in bollywood . \u200b\ntevar had an average first monday at the box office . the film collected 4 crores on monday . it now stands with a total collection of 26 . 05 crores at the domestic box office . the film suffered from a usual monday drop yet the the collections are quite low for a film that received mix reviews from the critics .\nbut as the weekend arrived , the collections dropped . the movie had to struggle to get even a rs 40 cr nett weekend . reportedly , \u2018 tevar \u2018 collected rs 7 . 05 cr nett , while on saturday , the film gained rs 7 cr nett . on sunday , the collections were a meagre rs 8 . 10 cr .\nparaplegia : paralysis due to spinal cord ischemia is a much - feared risk of tevar . risk factors include extensive coverage of the thoracic aorta , 59 60 prior aaa repair , 60 61 and coverage of the left subclavian artery . as noted elsewhere , neuromonitoring with early recognition and treatment with lumbar drainage and permissive hypertension are the keys to treatment .\nin conclusion , tevar has become the preferred approach for patients with thoracic aortic pathology and anatomy amenable to endograft placement . adequate seal zones , careful preoperative planning , and proper device sizing are critical to obtain a good result and limit complications . hybrid approach options and fenestrated endografts may further expand the number of patients who can benefit from this treatment modality .\narjun kapoor and sonakshi sinha were high in spirits all the previous week as their much awaited movie \u2018tevar\u2019 was about to release . having all the elements to make it a masala movie , the movie opened up quite well especially at single screen theatres . but the collections of the movie turned out to be only rs 22 . 15 cr in the first weekend .\nthe plot of tevar revolves around pintoo , played by arjun kapoor who respects women and plays kabbadi . on one of his unfortunate trips to mathura , he ends up messing up with ' mathure ka gunda ' gajendra singh while trying to save radhika ( sonakshi sinha ) from his clutches . gajendra singh , played by manoj bajpayee has a politician elder brother with high contacts .\ntevar has been rated low by most critics . raja sen of rediff rated the film 1 and wrote ,\nand since one can\u2019t , in all good conscience , let anyone stray into gangs of jockeypur , consider yourselves warned . stay away\nindia today says\nthe film becomes a watch because of its power packed dialogues written by shantanu shrivastava .\n( wikipedia )\nrecords of patients with aortic arch pathology treated with tevar were reviewed . branch vessels were ( 1 ) covered without revascularization , ( 2 ) surgically bypassed , ( 3 ) stented , or ( 4 ) fenestrated . technical success was defined both by accurate endograft deployment with disease exclusion and by target vessel revascularization . patient postoperative outcomes , complications , and follow - up are reported .\nin short , nothing can beat the experience of watching a typical masala hindi film at a single screen and its really sad that the coming generations are going to miss it . so if you love watching these movies specifically made for the masses and are a fan of manoj bajpai too then tevar can be tried as a one - time watch for the exceptionally talented actor alone , preferably at a single screen .\nlong - term surveillance : the lower risk profile of tevar when compared with open repair makes it the preferred modality for many patients . there is the need for ongoing surveillance , as 3 . 6 to 4 . 4 % of these grafts will require secondary intervention . 3 67 cta is the modality of choice and is optimal for the diagnosis of endoleak . noncontrast ct can also be useful if it shows ongoing shrinkage of the aneurysm sac .\ndevice migration and endoleak : postimplantation graft migration occurs with an incidence of 1 to 2 . 8 % . 2 3 67 extensive aortic tortuosity and graft oversizing are associated with migration risk . 68 patients with traumatic aortic transection may be at particular risk for graft collapse , possibly due to morphologic differences in the nondiseased aorta . 69 endoleak is fairly uncommon after tevar , with reported rates ranging in the literature from 3 . 9 to 15 % . 2 3 67 70\nclinical outcome : tevar has an excellent technical success rate of up to 98 % . 2 3 there is low perioperative mortality compared with open repair , with endovascular repair mortality rates of 1 . 9 to 2 . 1 % , compared with 5 . 7 to 11 . 7 % with open repair . 2 3 67 perioperative stroke may occur in 4 to 8 % , 71 72 73 and spinal cord ischemia in 3 to 5 . 6 % of patients . 2 3\nwatch or not ? : this one is a one - time watch . for all those who love bollywood and its over the top romantic - action drama films , tevar is exactly that . after the long gap of pk , this film will be a fresh , no - brainer that will be good as a weekend watch for all cine - goers . although for all those who have seen the south version okkadu starring mahesh babu , well this may not exactly go beyond that .\narjun kapoor , sonakshi sinha and manoj bajpai were recently spotted promoting their upcoming movie tevar . we got an opportunity to interact with them . watch the video to find out what the actors said about the movie . . . for the latest events , news and updates in bollywood , log on and subscribe to urltoken and visit our website urltoken follow us on : facebook -

mm seal zone with the currently available devices . in patients with disadvantaged distal seal zones where adequate seal can only be achieved with celiac artery coverage , selective arteriogram and demonstration of an intact gastroduodenal artery providing collateral flow from the superior mesenteric artery are necessary prior to placement of tevar . reports indicate that coverage of this vessel may have a nominal rate of mesenteric ischemia of only \u223c6 % . 39 44 45\npaired intercostal branches are derived from the descending thoracic aorta and provide collateral flow to the anterior spinal cord via the artery of adamkiewicz and other radicular branches . the degree of coverage of these branches must be assessed during tevar , as extensive coverage is a major risk factor for spinal cord ischemia and postoperative paraplegia . consideration should also be given to prior evar or open aortic repair , as well as to occluded or embolized internal iliac arteries given that lumbar arteries and the internal iliac arteries provide collateral blood flow to the spinal cord . 33\nending on a nostalgic note , whenever there is a film like tevar solely made for the masses and smaller centers , i prefer to watch it in a single screen theater if possible as that remains the best place to watch such movies with the energetic roaring crowd instead of the silent , sophisticated audience of a multiplex . and all readers above the age of 35 would readily agree with the fact that watching a bollywood masala movie in a single screen theater makes a major difference in your viewing and enjoying the film altogether without any doubt .\nhowever , his second film ' aurangzeb\n( 2013 ) again backed by aditya chopra failed to garner attention of the audience . the year 2014 saw arjun delivering three hit films -\ngunday\n,\n2 states\nand\nfinding fanny\n. in 2015 , he had his father boney kapoor ' s home production film\ntevar\nwhich did not do well at the box office . this year , he has one film\nki and ka\nand a tv reality show\nkhatron ke khiladi\nthat he is hosting .\naccess complications : the large diameter of the devices required for tevar in turn requires relatively large sheath sizes of 20 to 26f . it is important to assess the patient ' s access via the femoral and iliac vessels on preoperative ct scan to minimize access problems . calcified , small , tortuous vessels are most at risk . when iliac rupture occurs , balloon occlusion can be used for temporary vascular control until the artery can be repaired . reports suggest that 9 . 4 to 23 . 8 % of patients require nonstandard techniques for safe access . 3 5\nstroke : any manipulation of the aortic arch carries the risk of embolization to the carotid artery and subsequent stroke . this risk is magnified in patients with a very proximal seal zone , mural thrombus in the arch , or history of prior stroke . 54 posterior circulation stroke can also occur due to coverage of the left subclavian artery or embolization via the subclavian . posterior circulation strokes have increased morbidity and mortality when compared with anterior circulation strokes . 55 performance of a carotid - subclavian bypass prior to tevar can decrease this risk , and has the added benefit of improving paraplegia risk . 56 57 58\nmanagement of blunt aortic injury is based on the injury grade . 12 grade 1 injuries with intimal tear alone may be managed medically with heart rate and blood pressure control . grade 2 injuries with intramural hematoma ( imh ) , grade 3 injuries with pseudoaneurysm , and grade 4 injuries with rupture or aortic transection require repair . in hemodynamically stable patients without free rupture , delay of aortic repair until other injuries are addressed is safe and is associated with improved mortality . 13 one series demonstrated that tevar can be performed without heparinization and without thromboembolic consequences if the patient has a high bleeding risk or severe head injury . 14\nreturning to manoj bajpai , the main savior of the film , its really amazing how he manages to add a lot of newness in a character that he has already played in a few films before . and that\u2019s exactly the reason why he is considered one of the most gifted actors of our present times unanimously . in other words tevar majorly survives due to manoj bajpai ruling the scenes in particular along with the worth watching action , dialogues and cinematography capturing the local feel effectively . having said that , its editing taking out at least 3 songs and few sequences could have resulted in much better film for sure .\nfunny , how more things change , the more they remain the same . tevar , which is one of the most engaging bollywood masala dossiers in recent months , takes us through the crowded \u2018gallis\u2019 , \u2018mohallas\u2019 and \u2018akhadas\u2019 of agra and mathura in search of that elusive thing called love . this is a love story where most of the playing - time is devoted to the protagonists locked in a scuffle of the most physical and violent kind . and yet , there\u2019s a core of tenderness in the film , manifested in sonakshi sinha\u2019s melting pleading eyes as she makes a run away from the city\u2019s arch - goon gajender singh ( manoj bajpayee , bang - on ) , who has taken a shine to her .\ntevar is performed for type b dissection complicated by rupture or malperfusion . in cases of malperfusion , coverage of the entry tear with the stent graft allows re - expansion of the true lumen and improved organ perfusion . 15 16 intravascular ultrasound is a critical adjunct to this , as it allows real - time confirmation of the location of both the true and false lumens as well as luminal supply of important branch vessels . concomitant stenting of branch vessels may be required if the dissection flap extends into the branch vessel , causing a static obstruction . branch vessel stenting is usually obviated in the event of a dynamic obstruction , provided that the true lumen in the aorta above the visceral branches has been maximally expanded . 17 18\nif one wishes to list the negative features associated with this first biggie of 2015 , then tevar has got many . beginning with once again being an official remake of a south hit titled okkadu ( telugu \u2013 2003 ) revolving around the same old repetitive plot seen many times before with a much longer length than required due to many below average unwanted songs thrown just at the wrong timings slowing its otherwise racy pace quite severely . full of fights , swords , guns , goons and murder it has all clich\u00e9d characters ranging from a carefree boy - hero , his group of friends , a police officer father , a caring mother , a bubbly sister , an active politician with his cunning brother and a heroine who is the center of attraction as always in a typical bollywood film .\nstarting with an enjoyable local feel of a small town tevar opens energetically featuring kabaddi , an introductory fight and a well - choreographed song\nsuperman\nin the first 15 minutes . but then goes back to all formula twists as sonakshi and other major characters enter the screen with some entertaining dialogues . its major plot gets revealed just after the dragging \u201cradha\u201d song and the film becomes entirely predictable post that sequence unarguably . the poor songs keep hindering the pace one after another adding to the over - length of the film making it more than 150 minutes long . and then , though the film keeps coming up with some engaging moments at a regular basis both before and after the interval , it sadly all ends with a pretty poor , obvious and over the top climax that should have been altered .\nhowever what still makes tevar a fairly entertaining film for the masses is the sum of few well written dialogues , superbly conceived action as well as confrontation sequences and manoj bajpai alone to be straight . arjun kapoor gives an honestly worked out performance ( particularly in the action sequences ) justifying his banal lead character making a visible effort but his overall impact still lacks the punch probably due to the thin voice texture and a bit of over - confidence . astonishingly sonakshi sinha once again does a similar \u2018seen before\u2019 kind of role as if she is doing it in a sleep walk whereas the supporting cast efficiently lift up the film featuring the impressive raj babbar ( as the father ) , deepti naval ( mother ) , subrat dutt ( as bajpai ' s sidekick ) , rajesh sharma ( as the politician ) and the girl playing arjun\u2019s younger sister .\nthe procedure is generally performed under general anesthesia , which allows respiratory control by anesthesia and provides more precise imaging . an important consideration is whether to place a lumbar drain preoperatively . this should be considered in any case with extensive coverage of the thoracic aorta and in patients who have already had abdominal aortic aneurysm ( aaa ) repair . the goal of this is to allow drainage of cerebrospinal fluid ( csf ) and decrease the risk of spinal cord ischemia caused by coverage of the artery of adamkiewicz or its collaterals . lumbar drain placement has been demonstrated to help prevent paraplegia during tevar . 48 49 an additional adjunct is the use of intraoperative neuromonitoring , with measurement of somatosensory evoked potentials ( sseps ) . changes in the sseps can be identified in real time and allow treatment with increase in csf drainage or increase in the mean arterial pressure to improve spinal cord perfusion .\ntevar was first approved by the fda for thoracic aneurysm repair following the gore tag pivotal trial in 2005 . 1 indications for repair have typically used an aortic diameter size greater than 6 to 6 . 5 cm as the threshold where risk of repair is outweighed by the risk of rupture . 7 8 9 patients with aneurysms larger than 6 cm have a 14 . 1 % annual risk of rupture , dissection , or death , compared with 6 . 5 % for patients with aneurysms between 5 and 6 cm . 9 some guidelines have suggested that repair is appropriate for aneurysms as small as 5 . 5 cm , saccular aneurysms greater than 2 cm , or saccular aneurysms associated with a total aortic diameter greater than 5 cm . 10 symptomatic aneurysms and aneurysms associated with a rapid growth rate of greater than 1 cm per year are considered to be at increased risk for rupture and should also be repaired . 10\nthe operation is performed by gaining femoral access for placement of the relatively large sheath required for tevar . this may be performed with a groin cutdown , percutaneously using the preclose technique , 50 or via a retroperitoneal cutdown if needed due to small vessel size . additional access can be obtained from either the arm or the contralateral groin to allow for control angiography . wire access is gained into the ascending aorta and exchanged for a stiff wire to allow tracking of the device . the c - arm is positioned in the right posterior oblique position to maximally splay out the arch . once the device is positioned , angiography is performed with power injection and respiratory arrest by anesthesia to allow for precise graft positioning . additional techniques to minimize graft movement during deployment include induced hypotension , rapid pacing , and adenosine - induced cardiac arrest . 51 once the graft is deployed , it may be ballooned at the seal zones and at any overlap zones to ensure full cooptation to the aortic wall . ballooning should be avoided in dissection cases where there is a significant risk of creating fenestrations or causing aortic rupture . completion angiography is then performed to assess for endoleak , the sheath and device are removed , and the arteriotomy is closed .\nthe commercially available thoracic stent grafts all require a 20 - mm - long proximal seal zone . it is critical to obtain good apposition throughout this segment to avoid endoleak or device migration . depending on the patient ' s anatomy , it may be necessary to cover one or more of the arch branches to obtain an adequate seal . not infrequently , coverage of the left subclavian artery is required to obtain an adequate proximal seal , particularly in dissection or traumatic aortic transection cases . when this is necessary , preoperative duplex ultrasound of the carotid and vertebral arteries should be performed , if possible , and consideration given to performing preemptive left carotid - subclavian bypass or subclavian transposition . tevar can then be completed as a second - stage procedure with embolization of the native subclavian artery to prevent type ii endoleak . if the left carotid or innominate artery would require coverage , then antegrade bypass from the ascending aorta 36 37 38 or extra - anatomic bypass via a carotid\u2013carotid bypass 39 may be necessary . an endovascular approach to this anatomic problem has also been devised that involves placement of a stent into the branch vessel parallel to the main endograft , 40 41 and is referred to as the snorkel , periscope , or chimney technique . this can also be used as a bailout technique in the event of inadvertent branch coverage with the main endograft .\nfigure 2 preoperative ct scanning is essential to determine adequacy of the proximal landing zone . we typically extend coverage up to the left subclavian artery in cases of type b aortic dissection , often noting the need for complete coverage to obtain a 2 - cm landing zone ( a ) . to determine the correct stent graft size , we obtain measurements at the proximal edge of the pathologic problem and then at 1 cm proximal increments . the selected stent graft should have a diameter no more than 10 % larger than the aortic diameter at the landing zone . for ( a ) , a 31 - mm graft would be selected . finally , we commonly utilize a short ( 10 - 15 cm ) stent graft length to avoid extensive intercostal artery coverage . additional anatomic requirements for tevar include the absence of a tapered neck , the presence of a 2 cm proximal margin , and a relatively \u201cflat\u201d arch ( in contrast to a \u201cgothic\u201d arch ) to allow for suitable apposition of the stent graft to the aortic lesser curvature . finally , the access vessels are determined . the ideal vessel is straight , not calcified , and of adequate diameter to accommodate the delivery sheath for the stent graft ( such as the right femoral artery in b ) . we have used intraoperative iliac angioplasty liberally to allow for femoral delivery in cases of short discrete iliac stenosis . if these access vessel requirements are not met , we plan to deliver via a conduit placed on the common iliac artery or through an internal endoconduit approach . in our experience , the iliac arteries of patients with aortic dissection are often more ectatic than stenotic . the need for adjunctive iliac angioplasty is reduced , especially when compared with the population of patients with degenerative thoracic aneurysms . d , luminal diameter . adapted from patel et al . with permission of elsevier ( 5 ) .\narjun kapoor will be playing a regular college kid from agra , who is a kabaddi champion .\napparently , in this film , arjun kapoor will be playing a regular college kid from agra , who is a kabaddi champion .\nthe film , which is the remake of telugu action film \u2018okkadu\u2019 will be directed by debutante amit sharma and stars sonakshi sinha . the remake is all set to roll from january . besides this project , arjun kapoor has some interesting films in his kitty , including \u2018gunday\u2019 , \u20192 states\u2019 and \u2018finding fanny fernandes\u2019 .\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 hungama digital media entertainment pvt . ltd . all rights reserved .\ntitled ' madamiya ' , the item song has shruti haasan shaking her booty with tall , dark and handsome arjun kapoor . by the looks of it , the song appears to be raunchy rustic number a la ' munni badnaam hui ' .\nshruti haasan has also reportedly given voice to sonakshi sinha for a romantic number in the movie .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\nmanoj , who started his career with ram gopal varma ' s satya , has previously played the baddie in his recent releases like gangs of wasseypur , shootout at wadala and satyagraha ."]}

rival , racer x . the new high - octane actioner will combine the kind of revolutionary visual effects and cutting - edge storytelling that have become the benchmarks of the wachowski brothers ' films , bringing speed racer into the 21st century . the film stars emile hirsch (\nalpha dog\n) as speed , christina ricci (\nblack snake moan\n) as trixie and matthew fox ( tv ' s\nlost\n) as racer x as well as oscar winner susan sarandon (\ndead man walking\n) and john goodman (\nevan almighty\n) as mom and pops racer .\ni should add that i ' ve never seen the original animated movie or any other speed racer material . this was my first exposure to the franchise . hell , prior to this i just assumed racer x was a bad guy .\nironically , the nostalgia appeal is equal parts herculean bicep and achilles\u2019 heel . if you watched the show as a kid , there\u2019s a decent chance that speed racer will bring back memories of good times gone by . but if you never saw the show , you\u2019d probably just think it was a nauseatingly colorful and poorly - written film . and frankly , you wouldn\u2019t be wrong . but folks who watched the original show are more likely to find amusement in speed racer \u2019s idiosyncrasies , and it\u2019s to these people that i most powerfully recommend speed racer .\nrandom fact : joel silver has held the rights to develop speed racer for nearly twenty years - other development ideas included johnny depp in the title role .\nhigh octane , low wattage : speed racer ( emile hirsch ) can ' t outrun the wachowski brothers ' tiresome technomania . warner bros . pictures hide caption\nthey also created a co - branded tv spot that pitted esurance\u2019s spokes - cartoon erin against speed racer\u2019s mach 5 in a race to a movie theater .\nin this case , much of that imagery revolves around the mach 5 , the white , futuristic race car driven by speed racer ( emile hirsch ) .\nspeed racer is a young man with natural racing instincts whose goal is to win the crucible , a cross - country car racing rally that took the life of his older brother , rex racer . speed is loyal to the family business , run by his parents pops and mom . pops designed speed ' s car , the mach 5 . the owner of royalton industries named arnold royalton makes speed a lucrative offer , but speed rejects the offer , angering the owner . speed also uncovers a secret that top corporate interests , including royalton , are fixing races and cheating to gain profit . with the offer to speed denied , royalton wants to ensure that speed will not win races . speed finds support from his parents and his girlfriend trixie and enters the crucible in a partnership with his one -

time rival , racer x , seeking to rescue his family ' s business and the racing sport itself .\nblair : there ' s a reason speed racer looks a little like an anime elvis with the pompadour hairstyle and scarf around his neck . kelts says yoshida modeled speed after elvis presley in the movie\nviva las vegas .\nproducer and anime distributor william winckler told anime news network that he was glad that renewed interest accompanying the 2008 live - action speed racer film , fernandez\nfinally got the attention and respect he deserved from the general public and mainstream press .\nscott porter and matthew fox , who play the same character at different ages ( rex racer and racer x respectively ) , have the same birthday of july 14th .\nat one point julien temple was attached to direct with johnny depp starring as speed . both dropped out of the film due to delays in production and personal issues .\nbig bad : e . p . arnold royalton is the main antagonist of the film .\nis the only film opening wide this weekend . the real competition are three other films that opened earlier , sometimes much earlier . the first is the film that started this summer ,\ndirector doug liman told ign that the film will\nrevolutionize how people make sequels .\nthe third film in the series is still , thankfully , going by the american definition of\npants .\na british version would make for a very , very different film .\nasked about how well they knew speed racer before coming onto the film , the far eastern cast members ( hiroyuki saneda and korean pop idol rain ) had the best credentials , but hirsch and ricci both claimed to have loved the show as kids .\nemile hirsch was 6 years old when he saw his first episode of the cartoon speed racer and , more important , caught a glimpse of the mach 5 .\na young driver , speed racer , aspires to be champion of the racing world with the help of his family and his high - tech mach 5 automobile .\nadaptation distillation : the wachowskis managed to distill the feel of the animated speed racer , keeping the bright colors , but bringing it into the live action arena .\nmr . peter fernandez ( as speed racer ) : these are the controls of the most powerful and amazing racing car in the world , the mach 5 .\n[ xix ] cole smithey , \u201cmatthew fox talks to cole smithey about vantage point , speed racer , and staying lost\u201d , cole smithey , 21 february 2008 .\n[ xxv ] lauren a . e . schuker , \u201cspeed racer stalls , highlighting a risk\u201d , wall street journal ( eastern edition ) , 12 may 2008 .\nspeed racer is a film that upon initial release polarized audiences due to its story , performances , dialogue and visual style . however , visually , this film is a real treat . to be honest , i wasn ' t sure what to expect from this film , but i came out of it surprised . speed racer is a film that pure entertainment value from start to finish , if you enjoy films that are visually appealing , then this is a film for you . sure , i agree that the film is over stylish , but that ' s a good thing . although the script does seem a little rocky at times , the payoff comes in the races themselves . overall this is a fun , entertaining film that is underrated , and it definitely deserves more praise just for the creativity alone . if you enjoy a good , effective and captivating picture , this film is worth seeing . keep an open mind , it ' s a film that deserves much more recognition than it deserves . sure , it ' s a flawless masterwork of cinema , but it ' s nonetheless a worthwhile and memorable viewing experience that anyone can enjoy if you ' re in the right frame of mind . the film ' s strong points are the visuals , races and overall look at the film , its flaws are in the dialogue and sometime cheesy performances , but really all that goes out the window because of its entertainment value . speed racer is a film that works well because its cast are good , and the direction is effective enough to grab your attention . although it ' s not perfect , the film is well worth your time if you ' re looking for a pleasant visually charged time waster to watch . upon seeing the film , i was surprised that mainstream critics couldn ' t see the merit in such a movie . speed racer deserves far more credit than it deserves , and most importantly , it deserves a second look .\nif there\u2019s truly one thing to love about \u201cspeed racer , \u201d it\u2019s the cast . there\u2019s emile hirsch as speed , susan sarandon as mom racer , john freaking goodman as pops racer and roger allam as villain arnold royalton . how these high - profile actors were cast in an anime adaptation is mind - boggling , but it sure worked out well , the cast put all of their heart into these roles .\nspeed racer \u2019s failure at the box office was clearly down to two key reasons . the first was the competition . the summer of 2008 was a highly competitive season for hollywood , and in the face of numerous superhero films , animated extravaganzas and high - profile sequels , speed racer was simply squeezed out of the marketplace .\nthe debt that the film franchise owed to anime would be acknowledged in the direct - to - video release the animatrix , an anime anthology of short stories set in the film\u2019s world .\nthe story resolves around speed racer , who is loyal to the family business run by his parents . after turning down an offer to race for one of the big companies he uncovers a race fixing plot and joins forces with former rival racer x .\nthe exteriors in speed racer are completely computer - generated , their artifice seemingly intent in order to heighten the gonzo nature of the film . rather than cheap , it feels innovative . most films use cgi in order to make the unreal look real , but this film is unashamed and chooses to use cgi to make the unreal look fantastical . the effect is undeniable euphoria . i saw speed racer twice in theaters , and both times i spent the entire two hours of it with the widest smile on my face .\nlana wachowski : got it . here\u2019s one . it was an encounter that happened after we had finished speed racer and there was something quite depressing in peoples uh\u2026uh\u2026 .\nthat he\u2019s a boy , speed and rex are brothers . speed is adamant about this , and rex is fine with it , and no one really wonders whether it speaks to larger issues of identity , because speed always wants to be\nif there was ever a film that proved how wrong critics can be it ' s speed racer . if you skipped it initially . give it a shot . i can ' t promise you won ' t be disappointed but it at least deserves your attention !\nin fact , the james bond film goldfinger was an inspiration for the creator , tatsuo yoshida when he created the original speed racer television show . thus , this scene plays with multiple layers of intertextuality . speaking of the television show , there is even a scene in the speed racer film in which spritle and chim chim imagine that they enter the anime they\u2019re watching , a direct nod to the film\u2019s japanese and anime roots . the easy incorporation of and flow between different genres , styles , and texts reflects a child\u2019s multitextual learning , mirroring how a child processes different aspects of reality and synthesizes them into a single understanding .\nthe puppies one is a shame but not really the fault of the film maker / producer .\ntags : film stories , reviews , wachowski brothers , manhattan , bridget riley , dr . seuss\nthere\u2019s no doubting that \u201cspeed racer\u201d is a campy movie , but that\u2019s what gives the film so much heart . the film hits a lot of emotional beats , each evoking very real reactions . the fun , crazy , downright silly action keeps you on the edge of your seat , while the family moments have you tensed up and on the verge of tears .\nit still feels surreal working with them . i\u2019m currently doing another project with them , ninja assassin , and i think i\u2019ll be in the next speed racer as well .\nblair : the new\nspeed racer\nmovie was directed by the wachowski brothers , who almost never give interviews . but they , too , loved the 1960s show .\nthis week ' s round of new movie release information contains release dates for charlotte ' s web , speed racer , the dark knight and more . more . . ."]}

vitro fertilisation ) have already proven their effectiveness . but when a woman is infertile due to a congenital or acquired defect or her uterus is unable to carry the baby through the full term , then surrogacy is the only answer to get a genetically linked biological baby by hiring a non - defective uterus , the resting and growing place of the embryo . \u2014 dr rajesh das , actor and husband of bhaswati roy\nwhile the economic scale of surrogacy is unknown , studies backed by the united nations in july 2012 estimated the business at more than $ 400 million a year with over 3000 fertility clinics across india . the largest is probably dr nayna patel\u2019s akanksha infertility clinic in anand in gujarat .\ninfertility is on the rise owing to a host of reasons such as pollution , stress , hectic lifestyles and the use of cell phones . simultaneously , artificial reproductive techniques have made giant strides . most fertility centres find that couples who come to them for guidance are in their late thirties and early forties .\nin the absence of any law , middle men extract money from families which need a uterus . gynaecologist dr shiuli mukherjee points out , \u201ci ensure that i never repeat the surrogate mother . it is bad for her health . \u201d\ndoctors do realise that they may not use the same surrogate mother again but there is little restraint on stopping any woman from going to another fertility centre and applying again . sheer financial pressures will prompt them to go through it again . repeated pregnancies and a series of hormonal injections will adversely affect her health .\ndr saswata banerjee , who plays the role of the protagonist\u2019s boyfriend in the film , says , \u201cmy role in the film represents society\u2019s attitude towards surrogacy . it is looked down upon . but while i do believe it is a social need , i do feel we have to ensure malpractices do not happen . we definitely need laws . moreover , surrogacy should not be seen as a profession . \u201d\ndr rajeev agarwal , does not see this as exploitation as women come forward willingly to be surrogate mothers , \u201cthey make more money than they would in a lifetime and at the same time help another woman to become a mother . but what i don\u2019t approve of is the unnecessary glamorisation of surrogacy . medical professionals should not encourage this . it should be done only in cases where it is necessary . \u201d\nsome medical practitioners feel the problem lies elsewhere . dr rohit gutgutia , who has been practising surrogacy for the last eight years says , \u201ci am now seeing a rising trend in the requests for surrogacy , many times for frivolous reasons . it takes all our efforts to convince the couple that they do not need surrogacy . \u201d\nthere is a need for greater awareness about issues . after the film vicky donor , which dealt with the subject of sperm donation , was released , we were swamped with calls from those who wanted to be volunteers . they saw this as a way to become millionaires overnight , whereas in reality sperm donors go through a series of checks and neither is the payment as lucrative as it was made out to be in the film . \u2014 representative at a fertility centre\nwhile bhaswati\u2019s film will introduce the public to the concept of surrogacy , medical practitioners feel that mere guidelines are not enough and there is an urgent need for laws to protect both the surrogate mother and the offspring .\n( the quint is now on whatsapp . to receive handpicked stories on topics you care about , subscribe to our whatsapp services . just go to urltoken and hit the subscribe button . )\n2018 copyright . all rights reserved . the sponsored listings displayed above are served automatically by a third party . neither the service provider nor the domain owner maintain any relationship with the advertisers . in case of trademark issues please contact the domain owner directly ( contact information can be found in whois ) . privacy policy\nbastushaap official trailer . shyam sundar dey & pramod lundia are proud to present bastushaap . directed by national award winning director , kaushik . . .\nwatch the full video song\nsohena jatona\nfrom mister bhaduri -

the new york times\nthe main problem of mr . morgan\u2019s last love is a structural one , as it is really two films in one . in the first story , which roughly takes up the first half , mr . morgan wallows in his grief until he literally bumps into pauline on a bus and the two strike up an unexpected friendship . the screenplay , written by the director , is very observant here and neatly ( if occasionally barely ) devoid of clich\u00e9s , something even echoed in the score of the first half - hour , a gentle theme from composer hans zimmer with a spark of youth and hope to it .\n\u201c i adore paris . it\u2019s the greatest love of my life , \u201d caine said . caine and the other love of his life , namely his wife , enjoyed their time off in between filming .\nkreuzer has spent the past 10 years working in production , financing and tv distribution for bavaria film group in germany and italy . his producer / executive producer credits include sandra nettelebeck\u2019s \u201cmr . morgan\u2019s last love , \u201d starring michael caine and gillian anderson , \u201cdeath of a superhero , \u201d starring andy serkis , and the financing of various bavaria film group productions , such as the emmy -

heads morgan ' s global natural resources and power investment banking group . mr . peacock is clearly enjoying his role at the center of morgan ' s energy effort , where he not only led the teams which worked for both exxon and british petroleum , but also represented mobil in its $ 5 billion european joint venture with british petroleum in august 1996 .\nand at least for the first half or so of the film , \u201clast love\u201d is an enjoyable and leisurely trifle . it\u2019s not high art , and not much happens , but that\u2019s just fine as caine and po\u00e9sy make an easy pair to spend time with . their chemistry is a low - key fire , with the actors selling an unlikely but mutually rewarding friendship with ease , as nettlebeck and cinematographer michael bertl bask in their picturesque surroundings . and even hans zimmer seems swooned by the material , delivering a surprisingly subtle score that\u2019s a complete turnaround from the more speaker rattling blockbuster stuff he\u2019s been cranking out lately . it\u2019s mostly unshowy stuff all around , and for a time , it seems like \u201clast love\u201d will fully embrace its euro flavour and step away from typically hollywood cinematic conventions . if only\u2026\n21 ways to ruin a marriage ( dir . johanna vuoksenmaa , finland 2013 ) there are 21 ways to ruin a marriage and that ' s enough to convince sanna that falling in love is folly . as her extensive studies show \u2018divorce is a natural and probable consequence of falling in love . \u2019 love and sex are two different things , and she prefers the latter , in an intoxicated state if possible . marriage is a business agreement .\nsold to most european territories and the u . s . , where image entertainment will release it in october , mr . morgan has also been making the festival rounds , powered by the arthouse - light bona fides of german director sandra nettelbeck ( mostly martha , helen ) and the star power of its international cast . it should appeal to older audiences .\ngillian anderson and justin kirk co - star as the recalcitrant if theoretically grown - up children of caine\u2019s matthew morgan , a princeton philosophy professor who\u2019s retired and has been living alone in paris since the death of his wife ( jane alexander , who occasionally appears as a vision ) . his offspring even cancels their plans for their annual visit but are forced to show up anyway when mr . morgan decides to end it all , something , oddly enough , triggered by meeting a wonderful young local woman , pauline ( poesy ) , who teaches at a dance school .\na more meaningful chance encounter arrives in the form of pauline ( poesy ) , whom matthew bumps into on the bus , then bumps into again a few days later . her hair reminds him of his late wife\u2019s , he says ; his beard reminds her of her late father\u2019s . soon enough , he\u2019s dancing the cha - cha - cha in her class and ( in one of the pic\u2019s typically clunky metaphors ) literally letting some light into his musty apartment . not too much light , though . indeed , just when it seems that nettelbeck is about set the film on cutesy autopilot , things stay more or less rooted in a hazy , depressive funk \u2014 which might have seemed a bold choice if the movie actually seemed prepared to deal with issues of loneliness and depression in the elderly . but alas , \u201cmr . morgan\u2019s last love \u201d sticks to a flaccid middle ground lacking any real drama or pathos .\nheart of a lion ( dir . dome karukoski , finland , sweden 2013 ) teppo meets and falls in love with the beautiful blonde sari . but this is to be no ordinary love affair . teppo is a central figure in a neo - nazi group and when he meets sari\u2019s son , he is in for a big surprise .\nfor a film that is supposedly about life going on after the death of someone you love ,\nlast love\nhas an uncannily undead sort of feeling , and that is partly due to caine , who still has some of his movie star charisma but holds himself entirely back and aloof from his character . matthew has several centerpiece monologues about his feelings on love , life and his late wife , and most actors of any age would tear right into them , but caine recites them in a laid back fashion that steps right up to the line of seeming frankly disinterested but never quite crosses it .\nthe movie has a stilted , airless feel , as if mr . morgan had already succeeded at offing himself and we were now drifting alongside him through some odd limbo . the actors deliver their lines in a slow hush amid a conspicuous lack of ambient sound , even in crowded public spaces . but paris looks indisputably lovely through the lens of cameraman michael bertl .\n\u201clast love\u201d ambles into a finale that tries to resonate with something resembling tragic beauty , but never earns that right . the darker notes of the movie are almost an afterthought , and are presented without any consideration to the deeper psychological underpinnings that could be fuelling them . meanwhile , romantic developments are undercut by their simple convenience , and again , the narrative refusal to engage these characters beyond whatever they wind up serving as part the overall story arc . and it\u2019s not so much disappointment that will greet viewers of \u201clast love , \u201d but a feeling of condescension on behalf of the filmmakers . it\u2019s a sentiment underscored by the presentation of pretty pictures and ultimately one dimensional characters , that attempt to wrap up the movie with falsely bittersweet echoes , and hoping that we won\u2019t notice and simply go with it .

standing collaborator , keith waterhouse . the long and the short and the tall is one he wrote on his own , before he later turned to writing scripts for the television series worzel gummidge .\nthe title is derived from the lyrics of a popular wartime ballad bless ' em all . this is , indeed , a war picture , set in malaya . the british troops encamped therein believe they ' ve gotten a break when they capture a japanese scout ( kenji takaki ) - - but it ' s all part of an enemy trap . the rest of the film concentrates on a battle of wills rather than bullets , though a few spurts of action keep the war - film aficionados happy . played against the larger tapestry of the world conflict are the fluctuating tensions among the british soldiers themselves . adapted from a play by willis hall , the long and the short and the tall was released as both the long the short and the tall ( big whoop ) and jungle fighters in the united states . ~ hal erickson , rovi\nfuture learning and skills \u2013 giving everyone the opportunity to build a lifelong relationship with film .\nto my knowledge , the long and the short and the tall has only been released on dvd in the uk so far . that disc presents the film full frame , which is clearly not how a movie coming out in 1961 would have been shot . imdb suggest 1 . 85 : 1 as the correct ratio and that sounds correct to me . aside from that , the film looks pretty good with nice contrast and little or no distracting damage visible . sadly , there are no extra features whatsoever offered . i suppose some might complain about the studio - bound setting but i can\u2019t say i found it problematic , the story is of the intimate , powder - keg variety so it works well enough . personally , i find war films a fine vehicle for raising ethical conundrums and a means of focusing attention on our view of fellow men . in terms of setting and moral complexity the long and the short and the tall shares some features with hammer\u2019s yesterday\u2019s enemy , and both movies would make for an interesting double feature .\nmeanwhile , south african actors are good enough for the other roles . we see this happen over and over . tomorrow there will be a film about walter sisulu , and then what ? no one is short enough ?\nthe religion of high -

known uk film critic barry norman ) , who later directed some of the most popular tv series of the ' 60s and ' 70s -\nthe play tells the story of a small british patrol in the malayan jungle in the second world war just before the japanese invaded the peninsula and eventually singapore . on a routine patrol they take refuge for a short break in an abandoned miners hut .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\nsello maake ka -

day landings in 1944 , and he re - lived some of that experience when he played major john howard in the film the longest day ( 1962 ) . his private life was marked by the tragic suicides of two of his sons .\ntodd enjoyed his role in never let go ( 1960 ) starring peter sellers (\ni loved doing it because it was a character part for me , playing a scruffy little salesman whose car has been stolen\n) , but he\nloathed\nmaking the screen version of the play the long , the short and the tall ( 1961 ) .\ni didn ' t enjoy working with laurence harvey . . . i took it for granted that they would cast peter o ' toole , who was marvellous on stage , but they said they wanted a ' name ' .\nthis film , made in the traditional british style for the period displays a rare realism of a conflict where the main characters are\nother ranks\n. many british war films of this type invariably starred well known actors playing the stiff upper lip officer with character actors playing\nother rank\nin subordinate roles . the latter being patronised as salt of the earth types . the film being reviewed seems to me to be a forerunner of the more realistic school of film -

term memory loss and forgets him the very next day .\nfor political and budgetary reasons , filming on location in the jungles of asia was infeasible and so the entire film had to be shot in a studio mock - up . whilst it can be argued that this is what gives the film its stifling aura of oppression , the fact that the studio sets are more redolent of kew gardens than the burmese jungle does diminish its realism somewhat . likewise , the impact of the sequences in the partially flooded mine is greatly undermined by the fact that the cast appear to have taken a wrong turning and wandered onto the set of\na separate film project , winnie , provoked controversy by casting hollywood stars terrence howard and jennifer hudson as nelson and winnie mandela . the casting of morgan freeman in invictus was also criticised .\nduring a short reprieve from her busy schedule , hannigan took some time to chat with the huffington post about some behind -

and - coming young actor called albert finney . this was unacceptable to the americans , who had put up some of the money and wanted a ' name ' that would play in the american market . laurence harvey was cast - a most unlikely cockney . he gives a ' star ' performance , all\nprofessional mimicry and forceful personality selling\n, as the monthly film bulletin review put it . only kenji takaki , playing the japanese scout tojo , survived from the london stage production . alongside experienced british film actor richard todd , however , the cast boasted some names that would soon become household - richard harris and david mccallum .\nin 1953 he told the bbc of his ambition to play heathcliff in wuthering heights , and a television version was quickly arranged , with nigel kneale given one week to write the script . todd returned to hollywood to star as the reverend peter marshall , the scotsman who became chaplain for the us senate , in the screen biography , a man called peter ( 1955 ) . todd was superb as the charismatic preacher , delivering his sermons with flair and fervour , dealing with tuberculosis and maintaining a warmly loving relationship with his wife ( jean peters ) . the film was a big hit in the us , and todd then co - starred with bette davis in the virgin queen ( 1955 ) , as sir walter raleigh , with joan collins as raleigh ' s sweetheart . the film was initially titled sir walter raleigh , and planned as a starring vehicle for todd and collins , but when davis was cast the emphasis shifted to her character and the title changed ( though her role took only 12 days to shoot ) .\nanother aussie ww2 film worth a look is the last bullet from 1995 . it is about a small unit action in the last days of the war . it is set in borneo during the mopping up operations in 1945 . again , write -

east asian locations , and the studio jungle looks unconvincing . by alternating interior shots with exterior ' action ' , the claustrophobia and much of the suspense of the play is lost .\nthe story of british explorer robert falcon scott ' s 1912 expedition and his quest to be the first to reach the south pole in antarctica .\npolitical and personal intrigues surround a group of characters in malaya , after the close of the second world war .\nher explanations have gone down badly with the body representing actors , the creative workers union of south africa . its president , mabutho\nkid\nsithole , told the city press :\nwe are not impressed . so , no one is tall enough : there ' s always some reason to avoid using south african actors , and having other people tell our stories . they use these stars for commercial reasons and the problem is , south african business is not funding our own films .\nnow the positions are reversed ; the japanese soldiers find tojo ' s water bottle on whitaker , and the cycle of suspicion starts all over again .\nwe have teamed up with talking pictures tv and hired a routemaster bus for sunday 23rd september 2018 for a conducted 3 hour tour of film locations that appear in films we know and love . you have the option of a morning departure at 10am or an afternoon one at 2pm . a welcoming glass of\u2026\nto resend the verification email , please enter your email address and click submit .\noffers both a probing examination of the morality of war and a compelling study of the psychology of warfare . the film shows how a poorly led group of british soldiers loses its cohesion and sense of purpose as a result of the moral conflict that arises when a japanese man is taken prisoner . whereas some members of the group see a dangerous enemy ( because he is wearing a different uniform ) , others see only another human being , reminding us that the objectives of war and the interests of humanity are mutually incompatible . the anti - war message may be far from subtle but it is remarkably effective and prompts the audience to reflect on whether there can ever be a moral basis to any war . as they ruminate on the fate of their prisoner , the british soliders ' moral undulations resemble a pendulum swinging between civilised behaviour and barbarity , and the outcome is all too predictable .\nthe tragic story of seven british soldiers who , trapped behind japanese lines , are so concerned with arguing out their own destinies that the enemy has to take second place . when they capture a lone japanese scout and argue over his fate as well , the film shows with a terrible truth that in war there can be no second chances .\ni remember reading the play in second year of secondary school . i was impressed by the portrayal of soldiers as human beings not as heroes , as was common in war films of the time . a difficult subject dealt with brilliantly by great actors . a film which is a powerful antidote to the hollywood - style of jingoistic bombast .\ni have purchased from zoverstocks before and they are very good and reliable , satisified customer .\ni have lots of respect for those who research the aspect ratios and fight to have the right choices presented . as a viewer though , my head starts to spin with the onslaught of technical minutiae that often accompanies such discussions , and i fear there\u2019s always the danger of missing the wood for looking at the trees .\n( 1967 ) . the other players - david mccallum , ronald fraser , john meillon , john rees and kenji takaki - are no less deserving of praise and give the film much of its humanity and psychological realism . the end result may be more theatrical than cinematic , but it is nonetheless a powerful anti - war piece , one that compels its spectator to confront some problematic moral issues , to which of course there are no easy solutions .\nearly on , i wanted victoria to be the mom ,\nhannigan said .\ni guess carter later said had we got canceled she would\u2019ve been the mom . but , you know , somebody great would come on [ the show ] and we would be like , ' yeah , we want her to be the mom , ' so it was sort of just like whoever was on for a long period of time . we\u2019re like , ' let her be the mom . let her . ' we just loved everybody .\na shot at redemption hovers in the form of a ballyhooed game against a long beach team with a 330 - pound offensive tackle . but as this sluggish film winds its way toward that inevitable showdown , it generates little in the way of rooting interest . in adapting neil hayes\u2019 nonfiction book , screenwriter scott marshall smith ( \u201cmen of honor\u201d ) and david zelon ( who receives a story credit with smith ) have painted nearly every character into a blandly stereotypical corner , whether it\u2019s the golden - boy running back ( alexander ludwig ) with a hard - driving booster dad ( a snarling , mustache - twirling clancy brown ) ; ladouceur\u2019s own wide - receiver son ( matthew daddario ) , on hand mainly to grouse things like , \u201cwhen i needed a dad , i got a coach , and now when i need a coach , you want to be a dad\u201d ; and ladouceur himself , the kind of secular saint who tosses lucrative college coaching offers into the trash bin as if they were yesterday\u2019s fish wrap . ( doing by far the best work in the film , michael chiklis and laura dern manage to suggest glimmers of inner lives as , respectively , ladouceur\u2019s longtime assistant coach and acquiescent wife . )\nlike most entries in this particular genre , \u201cwhen the game stands tall\u201d traffics in the usual tropes of scrappy heroes and come - from - behind victories \u2014 except that , in this case , the underdogs are more like alpha dogs , and they don\u2019t go from last to first so much as from first to second and back again . but then , there\u2019s more to life than just winning \u2014 a mantra the movie announces with such frequency and fervor that if you don\u2019t leave the theater with it ringing in your head , you should head straight for the nearest ear doctor . when our story begins in the fall of 2003 , the de la salle high school spartans of tree - lined concord , calif . , are coming to the end of yet another undefeated season that has left them with the longest unbroken winning streak \u2014 151 games \u2014 in american sports history . but dark clouds loom on the horizon : a large chunk of the team\u2019s starting lineup is due to graduate in the spring , and the underclassmen waiting to take their places seem to lack a certain team spirit .\n5 . some of the cast knew early on that the mom would die .\non the last day of shooting at elstree studios , todd was spotted by director vincent sherman , who was preparing a film version of john patrick ' s play the hasty heart and felt that todd would be ideal casting as the dour , truculent soldier lachlan mclachlan , who initially rejects the attempts at friendship made by fellow patients in a military hospital in burma ( the scottish actor gordon jackson had already been tested for the part . ) though his co - stars , ronald reagan and patricia neal , gave fine performances , todd was outstanding as the dying scot , later commenting ,\ni had seen boys in the war in much the same state and i knew what he was feeling ,\nand he won an academy award nomination as best actor ( losing to broderick crawford in all the king ' s men ) .\nthe noise immediately gives away their position . cornered , the patrol fights bravely but hopelessly . when the smoke clears , only johnstone and whitaker are left alive . they surrender .\nthis was a strong performance well up to the players usual standard , and the director had assembled a very capable cast who illustrated clearly the mundane side of soldiering as well as the very real horrors of jungle warfare .\na group of british servicemen , fighting the japanese in the jungles of south - east asia during world war ii , confront the enemy within when class tensions and personal rivalries erupt .\nin 1942 , a group of british soldiers is sent on a mission in the malaysian jungle and gets lost into the japanese controlled zone .\npan and scan really is an abomination and i sometimes wonder how i managed to watch movies which were often butchered on tv broadcasts in the past .\ncarter , a proficient journeyman director who did a modestly more energetic job with 2005\u2019s high - school basketball drama \u201ccoach carter , \u201d never seems to get inside the world of the movie . his football scenes lack any visceral , bone - crunching impact , and when he ventures off the field , the movie fails to foster the sense of family and community that drive the best sports dramas . carter\u2019s leafy nocal suburbs and their adjacent war - torn ghettos have all the neighborhood feel of the warner bros . backlot .\nfive stents later , ladouceur is good as new , but somehow the spartans\u2019 mojo isn\u2019t quite working . some of the cocky new players don\u2019t seem to understand that there\u2019s no \u201ci\u201d in \u201cteam , \u201d and everyone is shattered when beloved linebacker terrance t . k . kelly ( stephan james ) is killed in a random act of urban violence ( foreshadowed by risibly cliche images of malt - liquor - swilling revelers bumping and grinding to montell jordan ) . still , \u201cwhen the game stands tall\u201d has already been on the screen for nearly an hour by the time the spartans finally lose , during an away game against a national - championship seattle team \u2014 the proverbial inciting incident that most screenplay manuals tell you to include no later than page 15 .\nthe cockamouse was the mysterious hybrid creature that marshall and lily found in their apartment , and though it seems like something someone made up , like the\nsouth park\nmonster manbearpig , it turns out this was based on a real story .\nthe lives of a young man and woman , an infamous gangster and a group of street kids converge one day in a volatile new york city slum .\nlakeith stanfield and his sorry to bother you director boots riley discuss the stress of filming sex scenes .\nthis plays quite regularly on tv here in the u . k . but i\u2019ve always avoided it for the very silly reason that we had to study the play when i was in school . i have a built - in aversion to spending leisiure time with things i was compelled to write essays about when i was 15 ! it\u2019s time to put this foolishness to one side and to watch it . i\u2019m sure that my school essays about it were incredibly insightful and intellectually rigorous ( ! ! ? ) \ud83d\ude42 but the plain fact is that i\u2019ve long forgotten the details . i will pick up the dvd asap . regardless of everything else , i always enjoy richard todd\u2019s performances . i\u2019m convinced that he had the straightest back in british cinema . i challenge anyone to find a todd role where there\u2019s even the slightest indication of a slouch in his posture ! thanks for the review colin .\nmacleish and smith are sent out to reconnoiter , and discover a japanese scouting party nearby , in search of their missing comrade . macleish and smith manage to kill one of them , and escape . back at the hut , bamforth is set to guard the prisoner , who he nicknames tojo . despite the language barrier , bamforth discovers that tojo has a wife and family , and sees his photographs of them . johnstone breaks up their ' conversation ' , still thirsting for the prisoner ' s blood . there is another radio message from the enemy , this time in english , letting the patrol know that they are coming ! mitchem decides it is useless to keep the prisoner alive , and resolves that he must be killed .\nbamforth delights in taunting the other men , drawing out their weaknesses and making them doubt the fidelity of their womenfolk back home . he hates the army and is always putting on funny voices , singing songs and generally ' performing ' to his captive audience . even the composition of the patrol is like a music hall joke - there is an englishman , an irishman , a welshman , a scotsman . . .\ni\u2019ve been meaning to catch up with this one for ages . really enjoyed the review ( and thanks , as ever , for the general avoidance of spoilers ) and am now ordering this one as i speak \u2026\nduring the japanese invasion of 1942 , a seven - strong british patrol beds down in a dilapidated store - hut in the burmese jungle . hindered by a malfunctioning radio , the men do not know whether or not to move on and the situation takes a turn for the worse when a lone japanese scout stumbles across the hut -

war but anti the cheapening and dehumanizing of\nenemies\n, very stagey and little action . the characters are clearly delineated and well acted , particularly laurence harvey as both the pro and antagonist . the dialogue and ensemble work is excellent . unfortunately the print is fullscreen , not it ' s original 1 : 66 - 1 aspect ratio . this omission doesn ' t make a huge difference . print quality is slightly above average . recommended if you like films that propose questions with no easy answers and deal with issues that i ' m sure to this day every soldier on the front lines has to deal with .\neven a better director , though , might have been at a loss to solve a problem like caviezel . when the real ladouceur appears in documentary footage under the movie\u2019s end credits , he seems a stern but folksy , avuncular figure , a bit like a more athletic garrison keillor . but caviezel turns him into a dour ascetic who scarcely cracks a smile and suffers profoundly for each of his players who fails to grasp the true meaning of \u201cthose who exalt themselves will be humbled , and those who humble themselves will be exalted . \u201d it\u2019s a comically self - serious turn , but at least it\u2019s interesting in a way that little else in \u201cwhen the game stands tall\u201d manages to be . it is sometimes said that a great actor can take dross and make it sound like shakespeare . here , caviezel takes \u201choosiers\u201d and plays it as though he were still nailed to the cross .\nthis movie is an incredibly hilarious movie , no matter how many times you watch it . it ' s true that it ' s profane , violent , and stupid , but in this film , that ' s what makes it so funny ! the timing is just perfect . it ' s a great movie to watch with friends for the first time , especially for the fact that you will be quoting lines with them randomly for quite a while . i have seen it over 30 times , and i still laugh . this is adam sandler at his very best . great random characters , such as the\njackass\nman , the homeless guy , and very best , bob barker ! to tell you the truth ,\nit ' ll make you laugh until you hyperventilate\n. there ' s not only great vocal humor , but the visuals and especially the body language coming from the actors is classic . to me , there is not a better comedy .\nbamforth is now the only member of the group who opposes tojo ' s death . the prisoner has inadvertently revealed an unexpected streak of compassion in him . but while bamforth is striving desperately to avoid a cold -

moving film , with frequent shoot outs and car chases being the main driving force behind the action . but a couple of lengthy sequences of dialogue slow this right back down again .\nfor a british silent film , i thought this was rather impressive there are some excellent performances and beautifully choreographed camera work . i ' ve not seen the john ford remake but i can see why this film gathered attention .\nfantastic film from john ford with an outstanding performance by victor mclaglen . a perfect example that fog can be used to set a mood . i was surprised by the intensity that the film showed in some scenes and also mixed with some really funny moments .\nthe 60th bfi london film festival in partnership with american express is proud to announce this year\u2019s archive gala \u2013 the world premiere of a new bfi national archive restoration of arthur robison\u2019s the informer ( 1929 ) . this rare silent adaptation of liam o\u2019flaherty\u2019s famous novel is set among dublin revolutionaries in the early days of the newly independent irish free state , formed in 1922 . the archive gala will take place at bfi southbank on friday 14 october , 6 . 30pm in nft1 and features a specially commissioned live score by irish composer garth knox with a six piece ensemble . the new restoration by the bfi will offer a chance to see this powerful and important film in its silent form with newly reinstated atmospheric , lavender tinting . bfi national archive curator , bryony dixon has described it as \u201c one of the finest films produced in a british studio in the 1920s \u201d \u2013 100 silent films ( 2011 ) .\nimage can ' t be faulted as there was some extensive work in the restoration . you can ' t look any better than the source and i think this lavender tine gives the informer a rich , very appealing , presentation with some depth visible in the latter half .\nthis list collects every film from the starting list that became they shoot pictures don ' t they ' s 1000 greatest films . this\u2026\nfree showing as part of the national gallery of art film program . silent version recently restored by the bfi with a newly composed score featuring irish themes and instruments .\nbrowse our full list of titles , which can be booked by cinemas , film societies and community venues .\ni settled down to watch the bfi restored version , complete with a new score from the acclaimed composer garth knox . the film had also been gently colourised . i must admit , just ten short minutes in to the film and i was struggling . the music was so insistent ; it completely jarred with the action on screen and felt like an utter distraction . i knew i wasn\u2019t going to be able to last the duration .\nthe use of a synchronised ( non - dialogue ) soundtrack is also creatively used in the first part of the film . the jaunty jazz record katie plays to mask the sounds of mcphilip ' s escape incongruously persists throughout her confrontation with gypo . it is eventually and dramatically silenced with gypo ' s smashing of a glass , and replaced by the rising swell of the film ' s orchestral score that accompanies his subsequent exit , intensifying the emotional fallout of the quarrel . the film ' s pace briefly falters early in the second half , with two rather stilted dialogue sequences , but picks up again with gypo ' s exciting escape into the path of an oncoming train and katie ' s final betrayal .\nthe reviews posted are for the later john ford american version . this is a restored bfi re - issue of the 1929 british version - not released until april 2017 so it cannot be reviewed yet - hence my 3 stars , i had to put a star rating to get this information on - line so that people are not misled by reviews referring to another version .\nalthough made at elstree studios by british international pictures , the informer was a supremely international production , boasting an acclaimed german / american director , arthur robison ; english actor carl harbord plays the tragic francis , while swedish actor lars hanson is his love rival gypo nolan . the object of their affections is the luminously beautiful hungarian star , lya de putti . the informer was entirely photographed in the studio , although the design and photography \u2013 by j . elder wills and germans werner brandes and theodor sparkuhl respectively \u2013 is good enough make you believe you are in 1920s dublin .\nthe bfi continues to mine the nation ' s cinema archive and come up with a surprising amount of gems from one of its previously most overlooked seams , the late silent era . based on the novel by liam o ' flaherty ( that would again be adapted for the screen in 1935 and win john ford his first oscar ) this earlier british production can now be seen to it ' s full advantage as a really well made silent film , rather than as the stilted part - talkie version that had previously been most commonly available . set around the troubles in ireland , the film is surprisingly apolitical in tone and the letters ira are never used . in many ways the film is like the prototype gangster films that were\u2026\nexciting , dense and atmospheric , john ford ' s the informer employs the best of silent and sound movie techniques . victor mclaglen is a magnificent as the ira brute and traitor who is forced to come to terms with his betrayal . brilliant expressionist cinematography and a rousing max steiner score .\nthe film ' s gorgeous black - and - white cinematography - - with its streams of fog and sparkling cobblestones - - gave audiences a new glimpse as to the potential artistry of cinema .\nmax steiner , austrian - born u . s . composer and conductor . a prodigy , he wrote an operetta at age 14 that ran in vienna for a year . he immigrated to the u . s . in 1914 and worked in new york city as a theatre conductor and arranger , and then he moved to hollywood in 1929 . he became one of the first and\u2026\nthe film is a dramatisation of a 1925 novel by liam o\u2019flaherty . it was more famously made by john ford in 1935 with stoney faced victor mclaglen playing gypo , more similar in description to that in o\u2019flaherty\u2019s novel . it so happened that o\u2019flaherty was also ford\u2019s cousin . there are many liberties taken with the novel in the film . it certainly has more melodrama elements to it and pushes the katie fox character to the foreground while neatly wrapping up the ending in the manner of any good melodrama .\nwhat is evident in viewing both the part - talkie sound version and the silent version is how much quicker the action is in the silent film , despite its longer length ( at 100 minutes as opposed to 84 minutes ) . on one of the extras on the disc there is a scene comparison scene in which katie is being questioned about the gang when the gang member states that he has seen the money . the dialogue is slow in the sound version , while the accents are totally off ( ward with a strong british accent and de putti who was hungarian was dubbed into english , not irish ) . the accents are even clearer as irish in the intertitles of the silent version \u2013 \u201ci saw the money , so i did\u201d . knox\u2019s new score also gives the film an irish accent as he uses tin whistles , pipes and bodhran drums to good effect . ( there is an extra on the disc and in the booklet the added value garth knox\u2019s music adds is made clear . )\nit seems remarkable that northern ireland was addressed in british cinema at all during this period , considering the restrictions on political subject matter at the time . but then the informer isn\u2019t really a political film . liam o\u2019flaherty\u2019s source novel is so universal in its view of political violence and tensions that jules dassin could transplant it into the 1960s african - american civil rights movement in his film uptight . in robison\u2019s version , it\u2019s something close to a love triangle involving lars hanson\u2019s gypo selling out wanted ira assassin francis ( carl harbord ) to the black and tans after realising his girlfriend katie ( lya de putti ) has feelings for him .\nthe film itself continues to ooze charisma on disc , especially on the blu - ray transfer , and there is a substantial selection of extra material here too . a booklet with essays by bryony dixon , michael brooke and knox , a restoration demo , a 10 - minute featurette with knox discussing his score and a raft of silent newsreels documenting the fight for irish independence from 1921 and 1922 . oh yes , and the sound version of the informer . rather nice to have the sound version included as an extra on a silent disc , rather than the other way around , eh ?\nthe film is great , though . a gripping drama that vividly explores guilt and betrayal , the limitations of atonement and the ultimate balm of forgiveness , via a sharply undulating tale set in a pleasingly gloomy , shadowy dublin . it perhaps twists a little hard as it\u2026\ndescription : based on liam o ' flaherty ' s popular novel this gripping thriller is set amongst a group of revolutionaries in the newly independent ireland of 1922 . when one of their number , francis , kills the chief of police he goes on the run . but when he returns to say goodbye to his mother and former lover he is cruelly betrayed by his one - time friend , gypo . newly restored by the bfi national archive , with a new score from acclaimed violist / composer garth knox and premiered at the 2016 bfi london film festival , the informer is one of the finest british films of the 1920s and deserves a place alongside other silent greats such as blackmail , a cottage on dartmoor and piccadilly . this dual format edition includes the silent version alongside the rare sound version which was produced at the same time .\nrobison\u2019s direction pre - dates film - noir but has all the tricks and tells of the genre : window blinds casting horizontal shadows ; men lighting cigarettes by flicking a match off a wall ; the claustrophobic sense of space . nearly all of the shots are mid - range or close up . you feel like you are actually in conversation with the characters .\nthe new restoration by the bfi will offer a chance to see this powerful and important film in its silent form with newly reinstated atmospheric , lavender tinting . bfi national archive curator , bryony dixon has described it as \u201cone of the finest films produced in a british studio in the 1920s\u201d \u2013 100 silent films ( 2011 ) .\nan overly melodramatic script and hammy acting typical of the silent era detract from a well directed and photographed film . some of the scene transitions and camera moves are really quite advanced , coupled with mood enhancing lighting effects and some lovely shot compositions . but the story is overlong and the over emotive acting is far too distracting .\nthe films length and lack of sound means that relationships and emotions are dense and quickly developed . the plot leaves us , like phillip and his love interest katie ( lya de putti ) torn between personal and political loyalty . capturing the uncertainty of ireland at the time , no one in the film is entirely innocent \u2013 even small acts of defiance can seem morally questionable .\n\u2026academy award for best direction\u2014 the informer ( 1935 ) , the grapes of wrath ( 1940 ) , how green was my valley ( 1941 ) , and the quiet man ( 1952 ) \u2014was of this genre . his films , whether westerns or in other genres , are notable for a turn - of - the - 20th - century ideal of american masculinity\u2014loyal , self - deprecating yet competent , dependable in a\u2026\nabout the reviewer : hello , fellow beavers ! i have been interested in film since i viewed a chaplin festival on pbs when i was around 9 years old . i credit dvd with expanding my horizons to fill an almost ravenous desire to seek out new film experiences . i currently own approximately 9500 dvds and have reviewed over 5000 myself . i appreciate my discussion listserv for furthering my film education and inspiring me to continue running dvdbeaver . plus a healthy thanks to those who donate and use our amazon links .\nthe restoration here is something to coo over \u2013 with fine detail in the faces of our pulchritudinous leading trio and those grotty urban landscapes both , and soft tinting to enhance the mood . more good news arrives with garth knox\u2019s sensitive , irish - inflected score . he seems to have absorbed the delicacy of the film\u2019s style rather than the crudeness of its subject matter , and his music is melodic and nicely supportive of this twisting - turning thriller .\nabout creating the score . there are also eight ' topical budget ' films from newly independent ireland , all running around 1 - minute or less plus the package comes with an illustrated booklet with full film credits and essays by bryony dixon , garth knox and michael brookes . the dual - format package includes a dvd .\nit\u2019s interesting that the film was made so soon after the vast majority of ireland became a republic \u2013 it seems a brave move to make , given that tensions would still have been high . i also love the fact that the cast comes from hungary , sweden and germany ( to name a few ) \u2013 silent cinema truly was an international , boundary - less effort .\nwow . i have seen the cranky talkie version of this before , but tonight the restoration of the silent version premiered at the london film festival , with excellent live musical accompaniment ( a new score by garth knox which included viola , flute , accordion , percussion and even an imaginative use of ' danny boy ' to represent a gramophone record in an early scene ) .\na working - class love story set in and around the london underground of the 1920s . two men - gentle bill and brash bert - meet and are attracted to the same woman on the same day at the same . . . see full summary \u00bb\nfrom bfi . it ' s dual - layered with a high bitrate and includes the sound version with a lower bitrate but also in 1080p ( 1929 , 1 : 24 : 08 - 1080p , 15 . 5 gig / 21 mbps ) . the silent version gets a lavender tinting which imbues a smokey atmosphere and you get used to it very quickly . it looks very strong in - motion with a few , acceptable , imperfections . the sound version actually looks great - and perhaps a bit sharper with some decent contrast layering . it was a great idea to include it in 1080p . this\nthe silent informer is a british - made movie , filmed at elstree by british international pictures , but has the flavour of an international co - production too , starring englishman carl harbord , swedish lars hanson , and hungarian lya de putti ( you may know her from variet\u00e9 ) . the story is set in early 1920s dublin , during the first years of the irish free state and it is a tale of revolution and betrayal , with an underground cell of activists torn apart when one of their member accidentally kills a police officer .\nlars hanson is superb as gypo , the man who informs as a result of jealousy , in this tense , emotional roller coaster . lya de putti excels as the unbalanced and fickle katie , whose hesitation over her previous beau ( and police - killing fugitive ) francis , played by carl harbord , causes the tragic events of the film to unfold . and warwick ward is very good indeed\u2026\nimage : note : the below blu - ray captures were taken directly from the blu - ray disc .\nvictor melaglen has never given an abler performance , and the film , even if it sometimes underlines its points rather crudely , is a memorable picture of a pitiless war waged without honour on either side in doorways and cellars and gin shops .\nclearly i just wasn ' t ready for this . i see the merit of how much the film makers were able to do with such limited technology , but truly i was bored out of my mind sitting through this . might be a while before i attempt another pre - talkies era movie .\neither way , the story and characters remain the same . the portrayal of both , however , is completely different . based on liam o\u2019flaherty\u2019s novel , the silent thriller is set among a group of * ahem * revolutionaries in the newly - established republic of ireland . francis mcphillip ( carl harbord ) accidentally kills the chief of police and is forced to go on the run . his attempts at returning to dublin do not run smoothly as betrayal and paranoia flood the streets of the emancipated eire .\nand thank goodness it did , because , whether you have seen the stilted and shaky sound version or not , the silent informer is a breath of fresh air . this is a truly accomplished late silent drama , with a graceful moving camera and fine performances , and all that emotion is heightened by slinky black shadows and high - angled shots that recall director arthur robison\u2019s achievements in german expressionism ( you may have seen warning shadows , 1923 ) . the story may be set in early 1920s dublin , but this vampiric treatment suits it perfectly . liam o\u2019flaherty pictured his moody thriller being made into a german film when it was still words on a page .\nin this taut , cat - and - mouse thriller , lars hanson plays gypo nolan , one of a disintegrating band of irish revolutionaries , who tips off the police to the whereabouts of his exiled comrade , francis , played by carl harbord . famed vamp star lya de putti plays the woman they both love . the story plays out in the mean streets of dublin \u2013 there\u2019s a claustrophobic sense of place as we feel that the characters are trapped in the city streets by their ideals as much as by their betrayals . but this city could also be any city where the people and the police are at odds . it could be weimar berlin , for example . and it\u2019s uncannily like the crime - infested la of 1940s film noir . those shadows get everywhere .\nthe dense narrative develops in a short time heightening the intensity of emotional effect . our sympathies are challenged to deal with the complexity of personal versus political loyalties , where no - one is entirely innocent and the implications of seemingly minor or impulsive decisions create inescapable moral dilemmas for all the protagonists .\nirish republican army ( ira ) , republican paramilitary organization seeking the establishment of a republic , the end of british rule in northern ireland , and the reunification of ireland . \u2026\ni tried . . . i really did . my reasons for finally signing finally signing up for a letterboxd account were twofold . firstly it was to motivate me to watch all the big movies that had passed me by previously . the other was to join in on all the hunts and challenges and delve deeper intonthe world of film and discover things i otherwise wouldn ' t have .\ncircus performer tira seeks a better life pursuing the company of wealthy new york men with improbable comic complications along the way .\nthe first half of the sound version is shot as silent , with german director arthur robison fully demonstrating the level of technical sophistication that this style of filmmaking had reached by its twilight years . without the constraints of cumbersome sound equipment , robison ' s camera roams freely , with one particularly accomplished long take following gypo as he pushes his way through a crowded street , halting with dreadful finality at the door of the police station where he intends to betray his best friend . cinematographer werner brandes ' lighting is imaginative and atmospheric throughout , and the film ' s numerous chases and shoot - outs are exhilarating and rapidly edited by emile de ruelle .\nliam o\u2019flaherty\u2019s 1925 novel about betrayal amidst the chaotic political and revolutionary environment of the newly independent ireland of 1922 was famously adapted for the screen by john ford . this earlier , silent adaptation is arguably finer , bringing to bear the best of late 1920s european filmmaking , but with one foot in the 1930s .\nat the bottom of the article , feel free to list any sources that support your changes , so that we can fully understand their context . ( internet urls are the best . )\nthe 100 minute silent version , with the new garth knox score . a score that sadly i did not particularly like . i found it too gaily , broadly irish in tenor for my tastes ( it kept recalling the dance scene from \u2018titanic\u2019 ! an inappropriate , mildly unsavoury association to keep springing into one\u2019s mind during a dark thriller ) . and knox seemed to read the film very differently to me , consistently matching ill -

( wikipedia )\nlikewise on the cg front , the girl with all the gifts continues to make some smart choices . rather than going all out - the far inferior sequel 28 weeks later springs to mind - the girl with all the gifts has instead dialled it back to create far more realistic environments , showcasing a rundown london slowly becoming engulfed in nature as the group traverse through it . and knowing there\u2019s just an ( estimated ) budget of \u00a34 million at work here , the series of shots it manages to pull off are impressive and highlight once again the more grounded feel the film exudes .\ni had a general meeting with mike carey ( legendary comic book writer of sandman , lucifer , the unwritten ) , we were talking about a lewis carroll project but at the end of our chat he sent me a short story \u2013 essentially the first 5 minutes of the film the girl with all the gifts . colm came on board at this early stage and we storylined the film together .\ni think in this case , it ' s an even tie , unlike with fight club , in which the film ' s ending actually topped the novel ' s , both versions of the girl with all the gifts satisfy at narrative end . one ending does not outshine the other , when you get right down to it .\nlike the vampire phenomenon before it , the zombie wave rose and crested , crashed and ebbed . the film industry took to it with dollar signs in its eyes and did what any proper horde of undead would do : they consumed all but the bones and gristle before leaving the genre to television\u2019s ongoing custody . and into this post - opportunistic landscape wanders \u201cgirl with all the gifts . \u201d\ntell us a bit about the girl with all the gifts . what drew you to the project ? was choosing to do it a case of finding a great script or you\u2019d found the story already and wanted someone to write one for you ?\nwhilst the actual story of the girl with all the gifts and the lore surrounding it - a fungal virus transmitted through the passing of bodily fluids that creates the cannibal critters we all love - are already well trodden ground , it still manages to be a tense and intriguing experience , even if it\u2019s a little too long and meandering for its own good . unfortunately i felt the final act of the girl with all the gifts goes a little off the reservation , introducing a new troupe to the group that brought back dreaded memories of mad max beyond thunderdome , then capping it off with a very un - hollywood conclusion . and whilst the events of the film ' s eventual conclusion will be a matter of preference , you\u2019ll come to realise upon summary whilst the credits roll , that not a whole lot of story actually unfolds within the girl with all the gifts and it clearly takes the scenic route getting there .\nthe girl with all the gifts received positive reviews from critics . on review aggregator website rotten tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 83 % , based on 46 reviews , with an average rating of 7 . 2 / 10 . on metacritic the film has a score of 73 out of 100 score , based on 9 critics , indicating\ngenerally favorable reviews\n.

if you can call a collection of ambient noises a score - that will have you scrambling for your senses . the zombie genre is a very crowded one , but thankfully the girl with all the gifts has cherry - picked some of the best of them , and it\u2019s clear to see the influence of danny boyle\u2019s 28 days later and even elements of the gaming medium , with the critically acclaimed the last of us on full display here - so much , that it makes that particular games currently in the works film depiction , feel entirely pointless now .\nthe girl with all the gifts is clearly influenced by the genre greats such as 28 days later , crafted with just a small budget and some grounded cg work , it manages to pull off a tense experience that once again puts british crafted undead movies on the map , and even create a future star with a breakout performance from sennia nanua .\ni would love to write a girl with all the gifts comic book . the only possible artists for a project like that would be peter gross or mike perkins . and mike has already covered the whole post - apocalyptic genre with his epic version of stephen king\u2019s the stand , so he might well say no .\ncolm ( mccarthy , director of the girl with all the gifts ) had worked on endeavour and they were looking for a new producer so he suggested they talk to me . also they wanted a more cinematic approach , as tv has become so ambitious these days .\nms . nanua is an appealing , relaxed performer , and her convincing portrayal of a clever , decent , good - humored young person is the key to the film\u2019s effectiveness . \u201cthe girl with all the gifts\u201d doesn\u2019t really venture into new territory , but it does a decent job of reminding us why zombies are so scary , and so interesting .\nthe girl with all the gifts is a post - apocalyptic zombie drama directed by colm mccarthy , starring paddy considine , gemma arterton , glenn close and newcomer sennia nanua . the narrative of the film focuses on melanie ( nanua in her first feature film ) , a young girl trying to find her place in an increasingly scary world . she makes friends and enemies , learns the importance of school , and resists her insatiable lust for human flesh . and you thought your younger years were tough .\n\u201cthe girl with all the gifts\u201d is his most recent novel , published in 2014 to critical acclaim and attracting many fans , including writer -

watch for any fan of zombie films and a definite should - watch for everyone else . the girl with all the gif t s is a breath of fresh air and a much needed addition to the zombie zeitgeist .\n\u201cthe girl with all the gifts\u201d is the story of melanie , a girl who is full of questions about the world . every morning , melanie waits in her cell to be collected for class . when they come for her , sergeant parks keeps his gun pointing at her while two of his people strap her into the wheelchair . she thinks they don\u2019t like her . she jokes that she won\u2019t bite . but they don\u2019t laugh . melanie is a very special girl .\nand he answered my message and said he would love to share his book with you all .\nthe traveling band aspect of \u201cthe walking dead , \u201d the cities and landscapes empty of human existence of \u201c 28 days later , \u201d the military aspect of \u201c day of the dead \u201d\u2014it\u2019s easy to pick apart the influences of \u201cthe girl with all the gifts . \u201d but just as melanie marks something altogether new in this world\u2014a zombie with a conscience\u2014the film about her feels inspired by what came before but also good enough to inspire those that come after .\nwhen melanie explores deeper places within the city that are too dangerous for the uninfected , she actually finds other infected , but intelligent children like herself . that moment is a turning point where the girl with all the gifts begins to subvert the traditional zombie narrative by turning it into a parable about hope and change .\nthe image of a young black girl looking down at a dying white man who thinks she\u2019s a monster is powerful in and of itself , but the girl with all the gifts gives it a unique significance . as melanie walks away from the soldier , the same fungus that gave her life is killing the soldier and is ensuring that , in the end , the zombies will win and give birth to a new form of humanity .\nthe best free streaming videos of television and films from all across the web .\nof course , no visuals can fully obscure the usual beats in play . from \u201cthe night of the living dead\u201d to \u201cthe walking dead , \u201d so much of this material has been mined dry that it has gotten harder to distinguish when it\u2019s actually done well . but \u201cthe girl with all the gifts\u201d really does offer up a fleshed - out world rich with eerie implications , saving the biggest one for the memorable finale . as melanie grows more confident in her understanding of the threat around her , she begins to take control in ways her human peers can\u2019t anticipate , and her defiance creates a complicated moral base for the story . ultimately , \u201cthe girl with all the gifts\u201d suggests that the end of the world is relative .\nthe film wasn\u2019t actually based on the novel . the opening of the film is inspired by mike\u2019s short story but i\u2019ve never actually read the novel as it was written alongside our script .\nefa , the rotterdam film festival and french srf directors guild step up campaign .\ni fell head -

building . much as romero paid close attention to such details , the set design , costumes , and the world of \u201cgifts\u201d feels lived - in and genuine . and it\u2019s a nature - based aesthetic ( dirt on walls , costumes that look worn , etc . ) that continues and even strengthens once this ragtag crew is forced from safety and into the dangerous world . there\u2019s a visceral , emotional impact to the horror and action of \u201cthe girl with all the gifts\u201d that resonates because the characters and the world they live in feels real to us . it\u2019s hard to overstate how important this to a horror movie , especially one set in a post -

like state \u2013 including melanie ( played by sennia nanua ) . when melanie\u2019s school is attacked , her teacher ( gemma arterton ) and a soldier ( paddy considine ) must help her reach safety\nsign up : stay on top of the latest breaking film and tv news ! sign up for our email newsletters here .\nit would seem that there really isn ' t a reason to read the book over seeing the novel , or vice versa , given their similarities , but the main advantage of the novel is , as is usually the case , further character development , which arises mainly from carey ' s technique of switching between the povs of the novel ' s main players . but beyond this , the novel gets more in depth with the science behind the fungal infection , and it all sounds alarmingly plausible . so if you ' d prefer a lot more scientific and psychological exploration , pick up the book , but if you ' re mainly interested in the story , watch the film\u2014though as always , i would strongly encourage you to experience both , as they are both time well spent . just like the hungry children who set out to replace humanity as we know it , it is my hope that more narratives like the girl with all the gifts emerge in the future , to wipe out the stagnation of the zombie subgenre and replace it with the smart , sociologically perceptive horror narratives we all came to love\u2014narratives that innovate rather than regurgitate , thrill rather than bore .\nin many ways , melanie ( sennia nanua ) is just another ordinary girl . she goes to school every day , where she\u2019s grown affection for her teacher ms . justineau ( gemma arterton ) . and she\u2019s at that age where she\u2019s figuring out what\u2019s important to her , and how to navigate through the world of adults around her . but melanie is not an ordinary girl . she will soon be a mindless , soulless zombie , a braindead creature who responds only to a desire to kill and eat people around her . in fact , with the right triggers\u2014like if the adults around her forget to wear their scent - disguising lotion\u2014she could become that right now . just when you thought the zombie genre was out of ideas , along comes colm mccarthy \u2019s smart and engaging \u201cthe girl with all the gifts , \u201d a film with echoes of george a . romero , danny boyle , and robert kirkman but one that also feels confidently its own creation , a unique take on responsibility , adulthood , and a new chapter in evolution .\nmonday 5 march / 5 . 30pm - 8pm / the box / free veterans in practice present the ex - forces film . . .\nthe film marks the first major feature for peaky blinders , sherlock and doctor who director mccarthy , and is due to shoot in the uk in may .\nthe notable only issue the film has is its over use of product placement . several times during the film real life shops such as next and m & s make appearances in shots of the city . instead of having the intended effect of placing the film in reality , the opposite occurs and it becomes almost comical seeing the contrast of everyday life against the ravenous zombie hordes . the worst offender of this is a wide shot over a derelict mercedes benz office in which the camera holds on a huge mercedes logo that is lying flat on the roof . this had a very jarring effect that took you out of the film\u2019s very engrossing narrative .\nthe film is due to shoot in the u . k . in may and is produced by camille gatin , co - producer of james marsh\u2019s \u201cshadow dancer\u201d and ricky gervais\u2019 \u201cspecial correspondents , \u201d and angus lamont , producer of the berlin competition jury award - winning \u201c\u201971 , \u201d directed by yann demange . the feature has been developed with the support of the bfi film fund .\nthe film is semi - based on the novel of the same name . i say \u2018semi - based\u2019 , because although the book was released first , m . j . carey wrote both the novel and the screenplay at the same time . this gives the film a unique narrative base as instead of standing on the shoulders of its source material , it runs in tandem alongside it . carey was also heavily involved in the production of the film itself , and there is a real unified vision between the director and author of what the film should be . this unity lends itself to some fantastically crafted material , such as the claustrophobic opening that is beyond unsettling .\nthe biggest challenge creatively for colm , and logistically for me , was to find the right little girl to play melanie and we met a lot of girls . it sounds impossibly romantic but sennia is the last girl we met . i wasn\u2019t there but colm went to nottingham because of the tv workshop and he said \u201cthere is one more girl and she is amazing\u201d . he sent me her tape and said i had to watch it . on monday we got her down to london to do a chemistry read with gemma and we just knew instantly .\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 penske business media , llc . all rights reserved . hollywood\u2122 & design \u00a9 2018 hollywood chamber of commerce . the hollywood sign is a trademark and intellectual property of hollywood chamber of commerce . all rights reserved .\ni looked at so many other places before i saw images of lapland . the director and i got on a plane and we knew that was it . we had 23 crew living in a log cabin together , all working like dogs all day . it was the ultimate filming experience and we were left with a film that looked amazing . it was financed through the bfi who had a short scheme through a brighton company called lighthouse .\nit ' s all fairly interesting if less than captivating , driven mostly by nanua ' s bright performance .\nexercise or upkeep costs with the exception of annually for simple individual retirement . urltoken which is much longer compared to with lots of various other brokers .\nso very disappointed with the film ! the book was amazing - - full of character development and hidden agendas and internal dialogue and surprises . the movie was bland . very anticlimactic and not nearly the same tone at the end . i would highly recommend skipping the movie and just reading the book !\nanother of the film\u2019s many strengths is the quality of acting . all cast members give very human and relatable performances but there are two stand out actors ; glenn close who has been lauded for her acting prowess for over 30 years , and sennia nanua whose only other role lasted under 5 minutes . the fresh faced nanua holds her own against veteran close , and scenes they share are some of the most compelling in the film .\npremiere . a scientist and a teacher living in a dystopian future embark on a journey of survival with a young girl named melanie . horror thriller , starring gemma arterton , paddy considine , glenn close and sennia nanua .\nreviewed at locarno film festival ( piazza grande \u2013 opener ) , august 3 , 2016 . running time : 110 min .\nquite the opposite with regards to the budget . i was very interested in post - apocalyptic imagery and urban exploration . we wanted to surprise people rather than have people coming in expecting a studio level film . we sent a micro drone unit to pripyat , chernobyl to shoot helicopter footage with pripyat doubling for urban london . i also spoke to gareth edwards about monsters ahead of shoot . that film was a reference point .\nthe screenplay for \u201cshe who brings gifts\u201d appeared on the brit list , which is a compendium of stellar scripts by non - u . s . writers , set up to complement the u . s . black list . scripts that have made the list include \u201cthe king\u2019s speech , \u201d \u201cmy week with marilyn\u201d and \u201cthe best exotic marigold hotel . \u201d\nmelanie , played by appealing newcomer sennia nanua , is ostensibly the titular figure in the british dystopian horror yarn\nthe girl with all the gifts .\nto miss justineau , she ' s a figure to nurture , even shed a tear over . but to the soldiers in charge , melanie is evil personified . that ' s because , as we soon learn when sergeant parks ( paddy considine ) interrupts the lesson to spit on his forearm , hold it in front of one child ' s face and watch it transform from cherubic mug into a twisted visage of animal thirst , these aren ' t regular grade - schoolers .\nthe final act has writer carey unveiling his intriguing take on zombie - inspired extinction , triggered by the discovery of the mutation ' s next evolutionary stage , and melanie finding a group of feral children who , unlike her , have had no contact with cultivating humans . as it lopes toward its ending , however , it ' s still undistinguished by any remarkable direction or performance \u2014 save close ' s late bid for mad - doctor zest . one is left feeling that\nthe girl with all the gifts\nis no better or worse than a couple of solid episodes of a sci - fi series , professionally engrossing but unlikely to prompt your own feeding reflexes for more zombie fare .\nan interview with terry gilliam , director of\nthe man who killed don quixote .\nbased on m . r . carey\u2019s novel , \u201cgirl\u201d marries well - worn ya tropes to brain - eating gore , and the result is , happily and occasionally quite grimly , more than the sum of those parts . in this case , the possibility of salvation in a dystopian future \u2014 thanks to the talents and leadership skills of one special tween \u2014 is compromised by the fact that the title\u2019s gifted girl is a zombie .\nled into a medical facility , the fate of melanie becomes apparent with a dissection from dr . caldwell now seemingly on the menu . thankfully , the suppressed hungries currently at bay outside didn\u2019t get an invite , so they decide to crash the party for a well earned meal interrupting said operation - best laid plans and all that . with the facility now overrun , melanie along with parks , helen and caldwell make their escape into the outside , into the unknown .\nleading the charge with a breakthrough performance - and astonishingly in her feature film debut - is sennia nanua playing melanie , who despite being proclaimed a \u2018monster\u2019 manages to make you both care and simultaneously feel on edge , abled by the rocky relationship between the packed - lunch ensemble she travels with . whilst the rest of the cast are serviceable - with some far more well known names and the rest being well , zombie fodder - it\u2019s melanie with whom you\u2019ll continue to be invested in and feel for , despite her predilection for raw meat .\nin this comedy short , shot as a lark with friends , altman presents a cooking show devoted to teaching the finer points of pot smoking , which was one of the bon vivant \u2019s favorite pastimes when not on set . the film became part of altman\u2019s portfolio and is said to have helped get him the job directing m * a * s * h . digibeta presentation courtesy of the robert altman collection at the ucla film & television archive .\nthey have a lot in common with the martian , starring damon as a man who becomes his best self when he\u2019s left alone in the cosmos . the bizarro - world inversion of dr . mann . i\u2019m hesitant to even mention the martian in an essay about science fiction ; the film is famously accurate about everything besides the dust storm at the beginning . actually , the most fantastical part of the martian is the stuff back on earth , where nasa has bottomless funding and china shares technology with any government that needs it . ( apparently , the martian is set a couple decades in the future , making the film\u2019s disco obsession even less convincing . )\nthe film was directed by neill blomkamp , who has since admitted that the story wasn\u2019t quite all there . blomkamp had a reputation as a sci - fi thinker after district 9 , but he\u2019s never been as pretentious as his partisans . he likes action scenes , and he likes space guns . elysium is , in that sense , a fairly standard contemporary blockbuster action film . it suffers from our modern story gravity : the world is at stake .\nsome films in this genre get around the \u201cbudget\u201d thing with a lo - fi aesthetic . the brilliant time travel potboiler primer was shot for lunch money in houses and public spaces . the clever ex machina won an oscar for its digital effects , but it\u2019s cheaper to build a robot woman when she spends the movie talking in one room . but spaceships are a problem you can\u2019t fake with clever lighting . arrival cost a reported $ 47 million and seems to have 17 production companies , and the film still has to deal with people saying things like \u201cthe aliens don\u2019t look all that convincing . \u201d\nuse of this site constitutes acceptance of our user agreement and privacy policy . \u00a9 2018 reddit inc . all rights reserved .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\nin other words , \u201cgirl\u201d might be the most inadvertently appropriate analog to life in 2017\u2019s increasingly unstable world , by suggesting that it may very well become necessary to co - exist with ongoing terror , especially if the only other option is walking directly into the path of a flesh - eating pack .\nfor example , i knew about film markets because i used to be a film buyer and a distributor \u2013 that may come across as a tangent in my career . but because i\u2019d come to know the head of sales at altitude , mike runagall , i knew exactly what films he was into .\ndirected by robert altman . with jennifer jason leigh , miranda richardson , harry belafonte\ndirected by robert altman . with woody harrelson , tommy lee jones , garrison keillor"]}

.\ncarl panzram : the spirit of hatred and revenge\nexamines the life of serial killer and rapist carl panzram who lived from 1891 to 1930 . it examines how his life hardened him into a psychotic murderer . it also examines how a prison guard henry lesser forged a friendship with him and encouraged him to write an autobiography .\nin spite of these quibbles , carl panzram : the spirit of hatred and vengeance is obviously a work of devotion , love and knowledge , self - financed and created among hardships which , thankfully , don ' t show up on screen . it manages to become the definite story about this unique man \u2013 and to show why his story is still relevant and haunting .\nthe true story of lifelong criminal and serial killer , carl panzram who wrote his autobiography for a jail guard in 1928 .\ni heartily recommend \u201c carl panzram : the spirit of hatred and revenge \u201d to anyone even remotely interested in serial killer history . it\u2019s a fascinatingly sad story made even worse because it\u2019s all true . and panzram was right , mankind has created people far worse than panzram in the years after his death . and we will continue to do so until we create the one who will end it all for us , if we haven\u2019t done that already .\nserial killer , carl panzram befriends henry lesser , a young jail guard at the washington dc jail in 1928 . after

recently when a hollywood producer came to campus to look at the collection of carl panzram papers , which are held in the department .\ncarl panzram is sent to leavenworth prison for burglary . while there , he is brutally beaten by a guard . neophyte guard henry lesser feels sympathy for panzram , befriends him , and gets him . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthe film includes footage of panzram ' s handwritten papers , leavenworth penitentiary , the clinton correctional facility , the minnesota correctional facility \u2013 red wing , and an exclusive interview with panzram ' s jail guard , henry lesser .\n\u201cit was in the acknowledgments section of a book where i read it mentioned that san diego state university special collections holds the original handwritten panzram autobiographical papers , \u201d borowski said . \u201cit also stated that henry lesser , panzram ' s prison guard and friend , donated the panzram papers to the university . \u201d\njason schubert , curator of the j . m . davis gun museum ( which keeps several panzram related paraphernalia , including the rope he was hanged by )\nand yet , almost 100 years of daily aztec issues ( and previous incarnations the normal news and the paper lantern ) survive in special collections .\nother extras include : production stills ( accompanied by a song about panzram ) , trailers and a detailed view of joe coleman ' s panzram portrait ( which is helpful indeed , considering this artist ' s style of collage with numerous very tiny and minute details , photos , drawings and quotes otherwise hard to decipher ) .\nit is an expensive and painstaking process because of the sheer number of items in any given archive and the manpower needed to delicately scan them all . however , digitization dovetails perfectly with the mission of special collections , which is to preserve and provide access to the university\u2019s holdings in support of research and teaching .\namong the serial killers , and his words have the power to resonate like the best lines from hemingway , chandler and william burroughs : clear , cruel , vivid , witty and precisely to the point . no bullshit there . no - nonsense , straight for the jugular , that ' s panzram for you .\nas he grew into manhood he , among other things , joined the army and found that it was just another form of prison for him . he only lasted a few months before he ended up in the army prison for three years for theft . in those three years he became physically stronger and upon his release he described himself as \u201cthe spirit of meanness personified\u201d and his hatred of his fellow man grew stronger . over the years he was a guest of hundreds of jails , a few prisons and detention centers and he tells of all the abuse / punishment he underwent while he was there . none of it broke him , all of it made him harder , angrier , meaner and during the few periods of his life where he was a free man he made a point to commit as many crimes , murders , rapes that he could claiming that \u201cmany a man has paid for what those men had done to me\u201d .\nthe quality of the films i get to review for this fine website amaze me to no end . one day i\u2019ll get the cinematic equivalent of bilge water ( \u201c panman \u201c ) and then i\u2019ll get something like this little flick which , upon reading the title , i just knew was going to be awful . instead i found that this is the rather gripping story of one carl panzram , who just might have been the craziest yet most sane man alive before his execution on september 5th , 1930 .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\nwhile helping borowski browse the archives , ray realized that neither he , nor anyone else in special collections , knew why lesser donated the panzram papers to sdsu . if he could locate coverage of the 1979 lecture in the daily aztec , perhaps he could find the link between a killer , his prison guard and the university .\nof them all . he was not partial in his hatred because he did not hate only women , blacks , jews , hookers . . .\ni don ' t believe in man , god nor devil ,\nhe wrote .\ni hate the whole damned human race , including myself .\nhe had no hopes , no illusions about either himself or the world which he saw it in all its depraved and brutal clarity .\ni wish you

as they struggle to reintegrate into society .\nan experimental documentary that uses archival footage , interviews , and fictionalized scenarios to tell the story of the people around jeffrey dahmer , during the summer of his arrest in 1991 .\nclocking at 80 minutes , the film could certainly use some more material without being overlong or repetitive . the extra features on the dvd actually contain many scenes which could ' ve been used in the film . for example , most of the deleted scenes ( approx 10 minutes of them ) deserve to be in the film itself , as they contain telling information and add further shades of panzram ' s character ( esp . the issue of being truthful and / not / honoring his word ) .\nthe film \u2013 instead , it offers many additional pieces of interviews and re - enactments not seen in the film proper .\nbrilliant story of how a brilliant , intelligent man ' s life can go so wrong through abuse and neglect . born and raised under different circumstances , carl panzaram could have been a great perspicacious doctor of psychology , one of the worlds greatest , most imaginative novelists , poets or philosophers . he was certainly no slouch , he was imaginative intuitive , resourceful and inspired . not surprisingly he turned to hate and violence after so much abuse and neglect .\n( best known as the voice of bender from futurama ) : he reads numerous well - chosen quotes from panzram ' s writings using a grave whisper somewhat reminiscent of kiefer sutherland ' s\npsycho\nvoice .\n\u201cdigitization fosters the discovery of previously unknown relationships and ultimately , new knowledge , \u201d ray said .\nthere are many experts here discussing what might have made panzram so evil and they discuss a lot of the available evidence which seem to point out the direction carl went in as he grew older . he wrote that he had \u201clearned more about stealing , lying , burning , hating & killing\u201d from the reform school he grew up in than anything else . upon his release he became a hobo and was sodomized by four men in a boxcar which only made his resolve to dominate others stronger . he admits to sodmizing hundreds of men over the years , not for the physical pleasure but for the feeling of dominance it gave him .\nsadly life seemed to be against carl right from the beginning . he tells the story of a mastoid operation he underwent as a child that took place on his kitchen table as his family couldn\u2019t afford a proper procedure in a hospital and it is intimated that he might have suffered some sort of brain damage because of it . from then on he began his life of crime and we\u2019re told of the constant beatings he suffered as a child at reform school . it\u2019s never too long between beatings and one of the promises carl makes to himself is that he would \u201chave his revenge just as soon and as often as i could injure someone else , anyone at all will do . if i couldn\u2019t injure those who injured me then i would injure someone else\u201d . it\u2019s theorized that it was around this time that he began to think of himself as the worst of the worst , someone who could not be rehabilitated .\nnick broomfield digs into the case of the notorious serial killer known as the grim sleeper , who terrorized south central los angeles over a span of twenty - five years .\n( 1990 )

\u201ctruth\u201d for them to grow up properly . he had the insight to realize this even as his hatred of humanity festered inside of him . he left a last will and testament which asked that his corpse be turned into dog food ! he also placed a curse on all of mankind in it as well . the last words of his autobiography state that he\u2019s only sorry for two things : \u201ci am sorry that i have mistreated some animals in my lifetime and i am sorry that i am unable to murder the whole damn human race . all that i leave behind me is smoke , death , desolation & damnation\u201d . now you

over them , perhaps he felt that he was already dominant over women and that they had no real power to stop him as opposed to men who are physically bigger & stronger than women and would prove more of a challenge to him . in addition , he was only abused by males both in and out of prison so perhaps he felt that he had to enact his revenge over men only .\nborowski relocated back to chicago in

shaded style to them , along with a screen border designed to make the game look like a cheap colour illustration in a dime novel .\nseveral of the wild west figures the game includes are fought in duels , which use a different system to the rest of the game . here , the player controls a ' focus circle ' they must keep on their opponent for accuracy , and silas ' hand which must be kept close to his weapon for a faster draw .\nthe remington 1890 , referred to as the\nsix - shooter ,\nis the most common handgun in the game , and is used by silas greaves and various outlaws during duels . it is the most balanced of the three revolvers , having moderate range , speed , power and accuracy , and is a starting weapon in most levels . the upgraded version is referred to as the\ninlaid six - shooter\n. it is anachronistic for about half the game .\nthe colt 1851 navy , called the\nranger ,\nis the game ' s most powerful and long - ranged handgun , but also the slowest - firing . it is largely based on the revolver used in the film the good , the bad , and the ugly as ammunition is inserted via a loading gate , and has similar rear sights . the reload animation is more or less the same from the remington 1890 and it has a squareback trigger guard of the very early production colt navy revolvers . the upgraded version is known as the\nengraved ranger\n.\ncolt 1851 navy with a cartridge conversion . this is a reproduction imported by cimmaron arms .\nreloading the colt 1851 navy . what seems to be an ejector rod is attached but never used .\nclose up of the colt 1851 navy . note how it has a percussion cap style cylinder despite using cartridges .\nthe model 1851 navy can be seen in the middle of the three real -

firing and the break - open mechanism means it is quick to reload , but accuracy and power are both mediocre . john wesley hardin uses two schofields in chest holsters during silas ' duel with him . the upgraded version is known as the\nivory - handled quickshooter\n.\njohn wesley hardin draws his dual schofields . this is actually accurate : hardin was known for carrying pistols in pair of holsters sewn inside his vest , he claimed this was the fastest way to draw .\ncolt single action army w / 5 . 5\nbarrel known as the\nartillery\nmodel . the most common of the saa revolvers as it is just the right length . -

by - side triggers , and is always fired one barrel at a time , the game correctly showing it with one hammer down if it has been shot once . the shotgun is first encountered in the second level when silas greaves makes his getaway from prison ; the first one found is said to belong to bob ollinger . in the real - life version of the escape , billy the kid was said to have fatally shot deputy ollinger with his own weapon ; in the game , silas instead defeats him in a duel . it is anachronistic for the first part of the game . the upgraded version is known as the\nsilver shotgun .\na sawed - off version is also available ( known as the\nsawed - off shotgun\n) , which can be equipped to the pistol slot ; one of the trapper skills allows this to be dual - wielded like any other pistol weapon . the final trapper skill grants a\nloaded shotgun\nin focus mode , which effectively makes both shotgun variants belt - fed as long as focus is active .\namusingly , when the shotgun is introduced for the first time , it gets a character introduction .\nthe colt model 1878 shotgun on the ammo box . these are supposedly 12 gauge ; while this is correct for the remington in reality , it doesn ' t match up with the game ' s claims about the shotgun ' s bore size being 10 gauge .\nthe winchester model 1892 is the first long gun available , called the\nrifle ;\nthe first one is thrown to silas by billy the kid during the defense of billy ' s farmhouse . it is incorrectly shown being loaded by inserting cartridges into the bottom of the receiver instead of the loading port . it is anachronistic for about half of the game . the upgraded version is known as the\ngolden rifle\n.\na sawed - off version of the winchester model 1892 ( referred as the\nsawed - off rifle\n) similar to the classic\nmare ' s leg\nbut with a full stock is also available . supposedly , this version was done in real - life to allow it to be accessed quicker in the event one stumbled onto a bear or mountain lion , and was mainly used by farmers , cowboys , and ranchhands . it is not particularly clear what it is for in the game : it is the only weapon that has no\nlegendary\nupgrade , and still takes up the long gun weapon slot . it shares the same incorrect loading animation as the full -

[ 5 ]\nsurvival of the dead is a movie starring alan van sprang , kenneth welsh , and kathleen munroe . on an island off the coast of north america , local residents simultaneously fight a zombie epidemic while hoping for a cure to return their un - dead relatives back to their human state .\nromero effectively created the zombie genre with night of the living dead ( 1968 ) and dawn of the dead ( 1978 ) . but it was with 1985\u2019s day of the dead that he introduced the unique notion that the living dead could rise above their mindless craving for human flesh and could relearn human behaviour . twenty years later , when he finally made a fourth dead movie \u2013 2005\u2019s land of the dead \u2013 he expounded further on that idea , going so far as to make his signature black hero a zombie instead of a living human . more after the jump :\nsurvival of the dead ( r for strong violence and gore , language , brief sexuality ) cast includes : alan van sprang , kenneth welsh , richard fitzpatrick , kathleen munroe . 2 . 5 stars out of 4 .\nincludes thirty steam keys for dead matter , date of delivery to be announced .\nhell of the living dead ( known as virus in italy ) ( mattei , 1980 ) .\nthe very same horse seen in this film is featured in the pilot of the walking dead ( 2010 ) . see more \u00bb\nsurvival of the dead , the sixth film in george romero ' s\ndead\nfranchise , might be the director ' s weirdest zombie movie yet . mixing genres freely , survival is at times a western , a traditional splatter flick , and a looney tunes cartoon . unfortunately , the result is a muddled film that lacks romero ' s trademark social satire and delivers few , if any , relatable characters .\nwriter / director george romero once remarked that his final feature film , 2009\u2019s survival of the dead , was the most \u201cmelancholy\u201d of his movies , something that seemed odd considering the toronto - shot 6th \u201cdead\u201d picture is , on the surface , such a frothy romp . but , as the film has aged and the world of the living dead romero invented has irrevocably evolved , we can see exactly what he meant . it\u2019s not the film that\u2019s melancholy per se\u2026it was romero himself .\non an isolated island off the coast of north america , the inhabitants discover that their relatives are rising from the dead . the island divides over the debate of whether to ' kill ' the walking dead or to preserve them and try to find a cure .\ni was disappointed that romero dropped this interesting concept when he rebooted his own series with 2008\u2019s unfortunate diary of the dead . so when i learned that survival of the dead focused on people\u2019s attempts to \u201crehabilitate\u201d zombies i hoped that the movie would mark a true return to form for the legendary filmmaker . oh , how wrong i was .\nthe walking dead : survival instinct will show the story of how daryl and merle dixon arrived in atlanta . they will have to manage their supplies carefully , and also deal with any other survivors they encounter on their way .\nreception for the walking dead : survival instinct was particularly poor . reviewers main concerns were the level design , poor graphics , and broken gameplay mechanics . the title was labeled among reviewers as a\ncash grab\n.\nwith the taglines :\nsurvival isn ' t just for the living\nand\ndeath isn ' t what it used to be .\nwhen george a . romero debuted the zombie horror film \u201cnight of the living dead\u201d in 1968 , he gave the world a frightening , grainy bit of cinematic wonder that\u2019s still terrifying more than 40 years later . fast forward four decades and five \u201c\u2026 of the deads\u201d later to \u201csurvival of the dead\u201d\u2014the most recent installment in romero\u2019s zombie empire\u2014where the undead still roam slowly , stiff -

- george a . romero ' s latest zombie fest ,\nsurvival of the dead ,\nis a polished , fast - moving , entertaining picture whose mainstream success will depend on audiences ' tolerance of its tendency to become an abattoir of extreme carnage .\nsurvival of the dead takes place in a nightmarish world where the dead walk the earth , relentlessly attacking the living . the first part of the film follows the actions of former colonel and current sergeant\nnicotine\ncrockett ( alan van sprang ) , who , after a failed raid of sorts that ends in the deaths and reanimation of several fellow national guardsmen and his getting demoted to sergeant , deserts his post with kenny ( eric woolfe ) , francisco ( stefano colacitti ) and tomboy ( athena karkanis ) . the four go on to rob the protagonists of the previous film .\nthe click , click , crap of a dead battery is about as welcome as the rattle of a diamondback in the latrine . here ' s what to do .\nthen , in 1998 , russo went back to the original night of the living dead to reshoot extra sequences into the film . this version , which was officially named night of the living dead : 30th anniversary edition , added a subplot , alternate opening , and new score . children of the living dead was then produced as a direct sequel to night of the living dead : 30th anniversary edition , as it followed up on scenes that were newly inserted .\na rogue - lite that aims to quench the community ' s thirst for a title that properly balances survival mechanics with fulfilling gameplay .\nas i watched this movie , i realized \u2013 to my great dismay \u2013 that not only will survival of the dead have trouble finding an audience , but it doesn\u2019t even deserve one . my in - depth review is after the jump .\nincludes twenty - five steam keys for dead matter , date of delivery to be announced .\nincludes thirty - five steam keys for dead matter , date of delivery to be announced .\n\u201csurvival of the dead\u201d concerns two warring clans , the o\u2019flynns and the muldoons , who reside off the coast of delaware on isolated plum island . in the wake of the zombocalypse , these age - old rivals continue to draw lines in the sand : the o\u2019flynns , led by patriarch patrick ( welsh ) , believe the ghouls ought to be shot dead immediately , while seamus muldoon ( fitzpatrick ) and his family choose to chain their zombie kin , thus keeping the still - living out of harm\u2019s way while a \u201ccure\u201d is sought .\nin the immortal words of ron burgundy , that escalated quickly . by \u201cthat , \u201d i mean enthusiasm for the walking dead : road to survival which is already trumpeting its number one status on the ios app store after zooming to the top just a day after it was released .\nday of the dead 2 : contagium ( clavell , 2005 ) , while billed as a sequel as taurus entertainment holds the original ' s copyright , it has no actual ties to the original day of the dead or the series ( although the prologue is set in pittsburgh , 1968 ) .\ngeorge a . romero is an undisputed cinematic legend , and we ' re honored to be bringing another installment of this incredible series of films to horror fans ,\nsaid magnolia president eamonn bowles .\nsurvival is smart , extremely fun and a worthy addition to the of the dead franchise .\ni can\u2019t think of any film series / franchise more deserving of another shot than romero\u2019s dead movies . there\u2019s obviously no guarantee that any new film would be a masterpiece , but there\u2019s only one way to find out , and until we do , we\u2019ll be missing out . in an ideal world , survival of the dead shouldn\u2019t be his last movie .\nbottom line : survival of the dead doesn ' t show romero at the top of his form , but it does deliver some laughs and a handful of unique zombie kills . i imagine genre purists will find enough in the film to justify watching it , though i have significant doubts on whether the film will catch on with casual audiences .\nliving dead is a blanket term for various films and series that all originated with the seminal 1968 zombie movie night of the living dead created by george a . romero and john a . russo .\nin the beginning sarge is explaining the average deaths by year in\nnormal\ntimes , then he says :\nnow everyone of those dead people gets up and kills another person and everyone of those , get up and kills\n. a direct reference to the scientist ' s lines in the beginning of dawn of the dead .\nthose zombies just keep lurching along . and george a . romero keeps breathing life into the walking dead , more than four decades after he caught horror fans and the movie industry unaware with the wildly successful \u201cnight of the living dead . \u201d\nit is not difficult to map these onto dead space : there is the directing of isaac and the management of his capacities , the various forms of control that are involved in play , the need to school the body of the avatar , and opportunities to prove the accuracy of the player . the management of life and populations is reminiscent of isaac\u2019s health ( constructed as a quantifiable phenomenon ) as well as the game\u2019s many references to reproduction , childbirth and mortality , the future of humanity , and threats to the species .\nromero says that the new films would tie up the themes he\u2019s been developing in his most recent titles , suggesting that survival and the next two chapters would create a whole second arc in the romero cannon . his first four films would be chapter one , and what began with diary of the dead would become chapter two . ( see techland\u2019s zombie of the week )\nrusso actually has two separate series that claim the living dead name . the first was return of the living dead , which originated as a book written by russo . it was later adapted to a film by dan o ' bannon , which spawned its own series of movies , with a total of four sequels . this could be seen more as a spin - off of night of the living dead rather than sequels , as the first movie treats night of the living dead as a movie that was based on real events in return of the living dead ' s universe . the first two films in this series differ from romero ' s living dead films in that they are not serious and employ silly humour , as well as using different zombie\nrules .\n: the single female in the group of guard refugees shamelessly masturbates in front of her fellows .\nthe sixth film in romero ' s extended trilogy of\ndead\nzombie films was , in effect , a tangential sequel to the 5th film . it was the first romero film to feature a returning character , the anti - hero sgt . crocket ( alan van sprang ) from the 5th film diary of the dead ( 2007 ) . the story also seemed like a sequel to the 4th film land of the dead ( 2005 ) , which concluded with a military unit taking off in a heavily - armored vehicle ( dead reckoning ) .\napp annie actually has the official mobile game of the walking dead tv show at no . 2 on both iphone and ipad , but there\u2019s no question the reception to the road to survival , which blends rpg , strategy and builder elements , has been tremendous . there\u2019s a gameplay trailer at the bottom of this post if you\u2019d like to see what all the fuss is about .\ndialogue and character development have never been romero\u2019s strong suit , but at least in land of the dead he had solid actors ( dennis hopper , simon baker , john leguizamo ) who were able to fill out their characters and give them presence . survival of the dead has no such saving grace ; not a single actor is able to deliver his lines without sounding absurd .\nsurvival of the dead is , in effect , a revisit to one of romero\u2019s favourite films , the 1958 william wyler - directed , gregory peck and charlton heston - starring western the big country , with its warring clans , austere and scenic vistas and more romantic and often even whimsical tone . some fans of the filmmaker\u2019s previous , considerably more nihilistic and angry , zombie films were somewhat taken aback by survival of the dead upon release . but survival is a glimpse into a heart of a filmmaker who had already said what he needed to say about the world , about the terrible ways in which human beings treat each other , about the failings of society . instead , with this earthy , gorgeously made zombie oater , we find romero lamenting the old guard , not raging against the world but dialing back the clock to a simpler time , one that may have only existed in dreams , in films , but nevertheless was real .\ni like romero films , even those not dealing with zombies but after seeing diary of the dead . . . he los\u2026\nit has been said , especially during the ama on reddit , that robert kirkman didn ' t enjoy survival instinct , and basically all around hates it .\nthe last entry in the dead space franchise , dead space 3 , launched on february 5th and despite topping u . s . sales charts , ea said in the may that the title \u201c came in below our forecast . \u201d\nsimilar to how don coscarelli passed on the directing duties with the fifth phantasm , romero will unfortunately not be helming george a . romero presents : road of the dead\nsurvival of the dead was released to twenty theatres on may 28 , 2010 to and opening weekend gross of $ 43 , 757 , averaging $ 2 , 188 per theatre . as of august 1 , 2010 , the film has taken $ 101 , 740 and $ 41 , 451 internationally , bringing the total gross to $ 143 , 191 . [ 30 ]\n1 . this research was undertaken as part of an ahrc project that examined representations of disability in games , particularly games featuring either the undead or forms of human augmentation . eight games were played in full on the ps3 . dead space was one of the richest in terms of the project\u2019s themes , and one of the most enjoyable to play . dead space was a commercial and critical success , it spawned a franchise , and it still appears on lists of the \u2018scariest games ever\u2019 .\ngeorge romero ' s new zombie movie has finally received an official title and it ' s george a . romero ' s survival of the dead . the movie has also been selected as one that will have its premiere screening during the midnight madness portion of this year ' s toronto international film festival running between september 10 to 19 .\nalthough the majority of the living dead media has been films , there has been times when related projects have been released in other media . specifically , there have been a handful of books and comics books that take place in the living dead universe . as with the films , some of them are officially endorsed while others unofficially use the universe .\nin \u201csurvival of the dead , \u201d the story begins six days later , when everyone is still confounded . we\u2019re introduced to a group of rogue military people , ranging from the no - nonsense leader sarge crockett ( alan van sprang ) \u2013 who appeared briefly in the previous film \u2013 to the tough lesbian tomboy ( athena karkanis ) . they\u2019ve decided to desert the military and find a safe place .\nofficial reports of the fifth film , which premieres on september 8 at the 2007 toronto international film festival , is that it will not continue the depiction of the progress of the world ; instead it will go back to the beginning of events from the first film , but will be nonetheless contemporary as the sequels are . romero does not consider any of his dead films sequels since none of the characters or story continue from one film to the next . only the premise that there are zombies is the same .\nusing these resources it is possible to explore depictions of able bodies , abject bodies , excess , unease and anxiety in dead space . the paper begins with an account of the methods used and a description of dead space . the analysis itself is organized under three categories of excess ( abject bodies , overkill and spillage ) . it is argued that dead space generates generically appropriate sensations by combining psychoanalytic problems of identity and origins , with culturally prevalent discourses of disability and ability .\nthe living dead have taken over the world , and the last humans live in a walled city to protect themselves as they come to grips with the situation .\nincludes one steam key for dead matter , date of delivery to be announced . closed alpha access included .\nincludes ten steam keys for dead matter , date of delivery to be announced . closed alpha access included .\nlike its predecessors , george a . romero ' s survival of the dead takes place in a desperate , nightmarish world where the dead walk the earth , relentlessly attacking the living . it is the story of plum island - a beautiful refuge whose isolation allows two powerful families to maintain a semblance of order in the wake of the zombie holocaust . but as the inhabitants slowly die off , the two clans become sharply divided : the o ' flynns believe that the undead must be destroyed without exception , while the muldoons insist that afflicted loved ones be kept\nalive\nuntil a cure is found . the result is an escalating showdown with echoes of a classic western stand - off that erupts in brutality and violence .\ngeorge a . romero loves his zombie films , and apparently he\u2019s got even more visions of the undead tucked away in the corners of his imagination . his newest movie , survival of the dead , is slated to hit theaters in may 28 . but over at shock till you drop , the director spills the beans that he has hatched a plan for at least two more dead projects , that he would ideally love to shoot back - to - back as a two - part storyline .\nsays romero ,\ni ' m a big admirer of the team at magnolia . they ' re creative and passionate , and i ' m excited to put survival in their hands .\nromero tells dread central that a first draft of his sequel to diary of the dead is done and he ' s about to begin tightening it up . one piece of info revealed : the new movie starts off following\nthe girl that took off\nat the end of diary .\na release date for survival of the dead has finally been announced : may 28 , 2010 . the pic will be released by magnet releasing , the specialty arm of magnolia pictures . read into this next part what you will but the zombie movie will first become available as a video -

containment . this able body is risked in proximity to a location ( the clinic ) that is culturally associated with the production of evidence relating to the body . dead space is not alone in being interested in the relationship between bodies , control and the clinic . consider , for instance , the significance of the clinic and the consequences of its corruption by corporate interests in deus ex : human revolution ( eidos montreal , 2011 ) , or recall joel\u2019s choice , the function of zombies , and the demise or death of the clinic in the last of us ( naughty dog , 2013 ) .\nactor alan van sprang , sarge\nnicotine\ncrockett , also appears as a different military character called brubaker in land of the dead .\nin romero\u2019s sixth dead outing survivors of a zombie apocalypse find shelter on an island only to find there is no escape from the undead .\nthe following is a list of all obtainable achievements and trophies in the game .\nthis research was undertaken with the support of the arts and humanities research council .\nan avid lover of classic american cinema , romero frequently told tales of his youth , spending much of that time sitting in dark movie houses in new york , thrilling to whatever films he could lock his eyeballs onto . and though he helped invent the template for the more graphic and unsparing contemporary american horror film , the almost gentle survival of the dead sees the then nearly 70 year old auteur in the autumn of his life , pining for those days when films were more elemental and innocent , when it seemed the world itself was also just a bit sweeter .\nthis is a tongue in cheek sequel to diary of the dead . a group of soldiers are fighting their way through zombie hordes . they hear of an island that may keep them safe . there are some odd characters . i ' m selling this . see my bulk listing . i also recommend mimesis , la horde , dance of the dead .\nwhen two bumbling employees at a medical supply warehouse accidentally release a deadly gas into the air , the vapors cause the dead to rise again as zombies .\nday and night cycle -

[ 7 ] this will be romero ' s sixth ' dead ' film . [ 15 ] on july 21 , 2009 it was announced the full title of the film is george a . romero ' s survival of the dead . [ 16 ] romero shot the film in port dover , ontario and in toronto , ontario with an entirely canadian cast and crew . romero cited the tax incentives as a reason to shoot in toronto . [ 17 ] the film was inspired by the 1958 released western film the big country . [ 18 ]\nmy initial plan for this article was to write about the space bits of dead space , also known as everyone ' s favourite bits of dead space . i was going to write something cool and arch and critical like\nthe true horror of dead space lies not in the snarling , gibbering necromorphs that attempt to rip and tear the flesh from isaac clarke ' s body , but in how the game imagines the inky void of space as a direct physical threat . throughout its length , dead space constantly reminds us the usg ishimura is a tiny lifeboat spinning in a vast , black vacuum . it sucks the air out of isaac ' s lungs , and forces us to fight in environments where even simple things like the concept of ' up ' become entirely redundant .\nincludes ten steam keys for dead matter , date of delivery to be announced . closed alpha access for ten friends included .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\nwith both games utilizing very different monetization models , it will be interesting to see if they can make some noise on the top - grossing charts as well . lara croft go has cracked the top 100 there , while the walking dead : road to survival is moving up fast but hasn\u2019t risen that high just yet .\ncoming as a huge surprise to absolutely no one , survival of the dead really sucks , barely functional as a slow - paced zombie action film and absolutely nothing else . no scares , no drama , dull characters , feeble gore , uncreative zombie death set pieces . . . aside from the visceral thrill of watching people of various ages and occupations gun down the living dead , and the vicarious thrill that i personally get whenever i watch a zombie movie (\nwhat would i do ?\nis always the best part , in my opinion ) there is absolutely nothing here worth seeing . romero ' s excessive hype of both this film and diary of the dead are clear indicators that he simply doesn ' t have his finger on the pulse of the genre anymore , and the only virtues of his two most recent films are merely to show how far he ' s fallen . sad .\nas far as social commentary goes , i suppose if survival of the dead teaches us anything , it ' s that zombies\ndie\neasily , but old feelings die hard . the patriarchs of the muldoon and o ' flynn clans are as single - minded as the zombie hordes that surround them . this doesn ' t make them particularly likable or fun to watch , but it does serve to prove a point .\nthe wilderness can be deadly if you don ' t know what you ' re doing . take our test to rate your survival iq\u2014and learn a few skills that might save your hide .\n2 . stockpile assets . the special - effects teams of the walking dead have discovered that they must stockpile the assets needed to turn actors into the shambling undead . that includes bins of latex appliances and other supplies used to change the shape of an actor\u2019s face . whatever the script calls for , the crew is sure that it will be on hand , so the work never slows down .\n14 . sociology of education literature suggest that the ideology of the clinic is disseminated , reified and naturalized through forms of education policy and practice , and that \u201cthe exercise of power only remains tolerable by hiding itself within the everyday , the mundane and the intimate\u201d ( ball , 2013 , p . 145 ) . the logic of the clinic infuses discourses of status , value , worthiness , entitlement , productivity , adulthood and autonomy - - all of which feed into the \u201cideology of ability\u201d ( siebers , 2009 ) .\nthe 1968 classic night of the living dead is and always will be romero ' s best film . it had a revolutionary impact on independent filmmaking and has had a strong influence on the horror genre for more than 40 years . among romero ' s modern zombie films , i think 2005 ' s land of the dead is the most entertaining and conceptually satisfying . with diary , and now survival , however , it seems like romero is more interested in playing around with ideas than in delivering quality films . seeing as the man literally invented the zombie movie genre , of course , romero has more than earned this right .\nworse than the so - so cgi , however , is the fact that the film lacks any real sense of tension . i know that most people watch zombie movies for the gore , but shouldn ' t there be some scares ? opening credits tell us that the zombies have only been walking among the living for a short period of time , yet the characters in survival walk around brazenly , completely unafraid .\nsurvival of the dead was released on dvd in the uk last month . it debuts in the us on april 30 th on video on demand . then it will open theatrically on may 28 th , but i have no idea who will pay to see it at the cinema . there will be no positive buzz around this movie and most genre fans will just watch it at home .\nhow can you kill or rehabilitate a zombie , since by definition it is dead ? here ' s my reasoning : if it can attack you and dine on your throbbing flesh , it isn ' t dead enough . george a . romero is our leading researcher in this area , having reinvented zombies for modern times with \u201c night of the living dead \u201d ( 1967 ) , and returned to them from time to time , most successfully in the excellent \u201c dawn of the dead \u201d ( 1979 ) .\nthe newest film from george a . romero ( legendary creator of the night of the living dead franchise ) picks up where diary of the dead leaves off - in a nightmarish world where humans are the minority and the zombies rule . off the coast of delaware sits plum island , where two families are locked in a struggle for power . the o ' flynns approach the zombie plague with a shoot - to - kill attitude . the muldoons feel that zombies should be quarantined and kept\nalive\nin hopes that a solution will someday be found . mpaa rating : r\npremise : shortly after the dead have returned to life and begun attacking the living , the residents of an island try to protect their borders from invaders both living and undead . . . . more \u00bb\nincludes one steam key for dead matter , date of delivery to be announced . closed alpha access for you and a friend .\nwhen a small colorado town is overrun by the flesh hungry dead a small group of survivors try to escape in a last ditch effort to stay alive .\nin a flashback scene , sarge explains :\nthe dead were too easy to kill , except when they are your buddies\nthen a zombie soldier gets up , this scene is similar to the one in dawn of the dead when roger turns into a zombie and peter has to kill him .\nputting a nail in the coffin . secrets revealed in \u201cinside the walking dead : walker university\u201d do hold a special power when used in concert .\nvillain protagonist : crockett and his fellow deserters are the same group of renegade national guardsman who robbed the leads of diary of the dead , even though crockett is a sergeant then a colonel that the previous film erroneously credited him as and his posse are different from those who appeared in this film ( such as there was no sign of a female national guard member in the previous movie unlike the appearance of tomboy in this film ) .\n\u201csurvival\u201d will rally fans primarily for its abundance of inventive , gross - out zombie killings , and although naysayers may well take umbrage with its low - grade cgi and illogical plot , those calculatedly artless elements are part and parcel of the film\u2019s transparent artifice . as such , the film mirrors and magnifies the prevailing absurdity of partisan political posturing and senseless human suffering .\nthese little ideas so intensely worked are what set dead space apart from the game it is so openly inspired by . sometimes though , it works them a bit too much . one of dead space ' s biggest problems is that the starting weapon - the plasma cutter , is too good . it is perfectly suited to the job of carving up necromorphs , and while there are a couple of fun alternatives , such as the line gun and the ripper , none of them have the plasma cutter ' s delicate balance of punch and precision . the story , too , is polished to the point of being a little bland . it has all the snap and pace of a hollywood blockbuster , but never stops to think of anything memorable to say ."]}

( japan had occupied korea in 1905 , annexed it five years later and ruled the territory with an iron grip . ) roving bands of japanese prowled the ruins of yokohama and tokyo , setting up makeshift roadblocks and massacring koreans across the earthquake zone . according to some estimates , the death toll was as high as 6 , 000 .\nchaney gets the girl in nomads of the north too , although it\u2019s the only point of resemblance between the two films . nomads is a northwoods melodrama adapted from a novel by james oliver curwood , a popular author of the day whose stories inspired many movies . chaney plays a french - canadian trapper named raoul challoner whose fiancee nanette ( betty blythe ) is also the object of desire of the scurrilous son of the manager of the company settlement and an honorable mountie ( lewis stone ) .\nin the hall of the railway station \u2013 in every train station hall , even in the smallest village \u2013 the door of a wooden shed is open , and above this shed one can read the word agitpunkt . in this shed a man sells and distributes agitation brochures , leaflets and the official newspapers . the hall is , like the walls of all cities , plastered all over with posters and newspapers ( holitscher 2012 : 55 ) .\nmeanwhile , a wall of water surged from the fault zone toward the coast of honshu . three hundred people died in kamakura , the ancient capital , when a 20 - foot - high wave washed over the town . \u201cthe tidal wave swept out a great section of the village near the beach , \u201d wrote henry w . kinney , a tokyo - based editor for trans - pacific magazine . \u201ci saw a thirty - foot sampan [ boat ] that had been lifted neatly on top of the roof of a prostrated house . vast portions of the hills facing the ocean had slid into the sea . \u201d\nit spoke of a world of long ago , where things were different , life as different to anything that could be imagined by almost any balanda anywhere . to enter that world would be the essence of real cinema [ \u2026 ] the film had started to form . ( 4 )\nhe wanted the newsreels to be \u201clive\u201d , so how he perceived the idea of shooting and showing film was intrinsically connected with speed and movement , but also to working with limited possibilities . for this reason special cinema trucks were developed by the mechanic john yolk in 1920 / 1921 for service on the western front and in the villages around petersburg , novgorod and kiev . they were projector and camera all - in - one and far more mobile than the trains or steamers ( tode 2008 : 152 ) .\nperhaps because it was considered a purely mechanical and tedious undertaking , requiring only attention to detail , keen eyesight , and nimble hands , film editing in the first decade was often carried out by anonymous , young working - class women . their duties were considered to be no more creative than cutting and pasting hundreds of feet of negative and positive film , and , as such , cutters and joiners were not mentioned in the trade presses , which the first century of us motion picture history relied upon so exclusively .\nreferences : film credits , film viewing : edmonds - bigu pp . 120 - 121 ; everson - american p . 113 ; hirschhorn - universal p . 41 ; lahue - gentlemen pp . 48 , 52 ; limbacher - feature p . 221 ; weaver - twenty p . 77 : clasim - 223 p . 47 : website - afi .\nmedvedkin had started in theatre , where he used the grotesque , clowning , burlesque , comedy , circus or farce to educate the illiterate audience . he then went on to making one reelers , which were soon criticised by the party officials , but lunacharskii spoke up for him and made sure he could continue making films . medvedkin did not like to use musical accompaniment and produced newsreels from documentary materials . finally the director developed his concept of the film train :\nfor colour images of the trains see vladimir tolstoi ( 2006 ) . a very useful publication is also the book by david king ( 2009 ) . king informs us about some details connected to the decoration of the trains , for example that the first agit - trains were laminated with posters ; the following ones instead were painted with oil - based paint . he draws our attention to the publication by viacheslav polonskii ( 1925 ) and argues that the language and style used are very similar to the russian petrushka theatre .\nfurthermore , the main task of cinema in both its scientific and feature divisions is that of propaganda . generally speaking , every art , as tolstoy once remarked , is above all a means of instilling the artist\u2019s emotions into the masses . education in the wider sense of the word consists in the dissemination of ideas among minds that would otherwise remain a stranger to them . cinema can accomplish both these things with particular force : it constitutes , on the one hand , a visual clarion for the dissemination of ideas and , on the other hand , if we introduce elements of the refined , the poetic , the pathetic etc . , it is capable of touching the emotions and thus becomes an apparatus of agitation ( taylor and christie 1988 : 47 ) .\nmacpherson , jeanie . the necessity and value of theme in the photoplay . los angeles : palmer photoplay , 1920 .\nsee don crafton , \u201cthe pie and the chase , \u201d in wanda strauven , ed . the cinema of attractions reloaded ( amsterdam : amsterdam university press , 2006 ) . also see n\u00f6el carroll , \u201cnotes on the sight gag , \u201d in the slapstick symposium , ed . eileen bowser . \u21a9\non the significance of boucicault for the american stage see daniel gerould , american melodrama ( 1983 ; 2001 ) . \u21a9\nstarewicz , w\u0142adis\u0142aw . 1913 . strekoza i muravei / the grasshopper and the ant . a . khanzhonkov and co .\ni think that is the issue . it is about appropriation in some respects , because the western notion of the artist as hero goes right up against indigenous cultural paradigms of cultural material belonging to the community from whence it comes from .\n\u2022 the totem poles were moved to the royal british columbia museum in victoria and the university of british columbia ( ubc ) in vancouver . according to maria tippett , author of\nthe film began when i showed a photograph from donald doctor thomson to rolf de heer and said what do you think ?

( 46 ) around 1909 , companies also began to advertise to the public for original stories .

class . the under - lying rage at the core of the film spits out like the magma of a volcano about to erupt , only to conclude quietly before the breaking point , leaving a bright light of hope shining through , at least for the moment . that is what ultimately defines this caste of society , the moments of hope that one day things will be better , the fleeting smiles and fading lights , the spark that lights a flame in the heart of us all . the light that shines only there details all of this vividly never shying away from the gritty side of things . it is certainly not a film for everyone , with its relatively low quota for action and relentlessly slow yet meticulous pace , it is not going to excite the easily distracted \u2013 this is a film for the thoughtful .\nthis article originally appeared in arama ! japan titled : \u201cher light shines everywhere : a look at female filmmaker mipo o\u201d and written by hypermoot , with edits by ryan .\nmay god grant that we may not only see the light in personal salvation , but that others may see the light in us , as we live lives that are marked by goodness , righteousness , and truth , to his glory .\nthe 12th annual bro -

light and shadows persists throughout , keeping us in the dark visually , symbolically and narratively until in one moment the blinding sun comes out : the light , we eventually find , shines only there .\nthat was my literal first impression but i had doubts and thought it was a dark ending for a while . i thought the title \u201cthe light shines only there\u201d represented the opportunities that they could\u2019ave had and the very small glimmering moments of bliss and happiness , but like all things , especially light , it fades and gets swallowed up by darkness . i really felt bad for takuji since from the moment i was introduced his character , i could tell he was a very good man , just lost .\nprops where props are due , chizuru ikewaki is amazing here . when she ' s onscreen the way -

10 ) .\nwe are not left to wonder what \u201clight\u201d is like . light produces certain fruit . the fruit of the light , 111 paul tells us , is goodness , righteousness , and truth . 112 goodness is the predisposition to do that which is both wholesome and helpful , what is beneficial . righteousness encompasses all that is consistent with the holy character of god and which meets the standards set down by his word . truth not only excludes falsehood , but it includes only that which god\u2019s word defines as true , truth as god\u2019s word declares it .\nat the beginning of this creation account , the earth was dark and in disarray ( formless and void ) . at the end , it has light and is ordered . the progress is from darkness to light and for disorder to order . light was created by god to separate darkness and light . paul will later draw on this creation of light and relate it to godly living ( see 2 corinthians 4 : 3 -

a gobo projector \u2013 also referred to as monogram lighting \u2013 is one of the latest trends for weddings and special events . in general terms , a gobo is an image that is projected onto a wall or dance floor , usually displaying the names of a bridal couple , wedding date , or monogram . technically speaking , a gobo is a disc that light shines through to pr oject an image onto any surface . the word \u201cgobo\u201d stands for \u201cgoes before optics . \u201d a special gobo projector is used to project the gobo image . the gobo projector has lenses that focus and shape the light after it hits the gobo image . led gobo projectors use \u2013 as the name suggests \u2013 led lights , which produce an optimal image while using less energy than a standard light . gobos can be made of a variety of materials , including transparency ( plastic ) , steel , and glass . the quality of the projected image varies based upon the type of material used for the gobo .\n\u201cthen your light will break out like the dawn , and your recovery will speedily spring forth ; and your righteousness will go before you ; the glory of the lord will be your rear guard . \u201d \u2026 and if you give yourself to the hungry , and satisfy the desire of the afflicted , then your light will rise in darkness , and your gloom will become like midday\u201d ( 58 : 8 , 10 ) .\njapan\u2019s image overseas might have a funhouse aspect , but even many outlanders who live here only get a selective view of the place , since their japanese colleagues and friends mostly come from the educated , middle - class stratum of society and live more or less stable , law - abiding lives .\nour lord himself came as the \u201clight\u201d ( john 1 : 1 - 13 ) . those who acknowledged their sin turned to him for salvation , while those who preferred darkness to light rejected him ( see john 3 : 16 - 21 ) . we , like christ , are to live as children of light as a part of our calling to reflect and reveal christ and to proclaim the gospel . it is the contrast in our conduct with that of the world which makes the gospel clear . it is by our contrast with the world that we fulfill our obligation as \u201clights\u201d :\nq . what is a gobo ?

ass action in the film . judwaa 2 is a sequel to salman khan - starrer film with the same name . the film , which released in 1997 , did not have a lot of action but was considered one of the best films in salman\u2019s film career . but it seems like director david dhawan is trying to keep the sequel relevant to the time and hence , upping the bar on action in varun\u2019s film . the film will come out 20 years after the original .\nthe film is expected to go on floors some time this year . it would be interesting to see if varun and david are able to recreate the judwaa magic in the sequel .\nremakes are almost certainly not as good as originals . judwaa back in 1997 was pure guilty pleasure . the sequel ( purportedly the remake ) featuring varun dhawan , isn ` t the gold standard in david dhawan mayhem , but it is still a fun film . packed with gags nineteen to the dozen , this film proves that the judwaa concept and comedy or errors never get old .\nwith his quirky antics and unstoppable charm , bollywood actor varun dhawan never fails to impress moviegoers . but , this time with judwaa 2 , the 30 - year - old hunk has big shoes to fill . however , while watching the movie , i also realised that it was a big litmus test for filmmaker david dhawan too . so , is the movie worthy enough to lighten the wallet ? well , let ` s find out !\nthe film is the sequel of 1997 film \u2018judwaa\u2019 that featured superstar salman khan in the lead role . it was speculated that salman will play a cameo in the sequel . however nothing official has been said on the same .\nsaif reportedly revealed that they are indeed doing ' go go gone 2 ' and he will return as boris in the sequel . but this time , he will be on a different mission . he also apparently revealed that directors raj and dk are currently writing the script . the ' kaalakaandi ' star also revealed that kunal and vir will also be reprising their roles while ' go goa gone 2 ' goes on floors in january 2019 .\nvarun dhawan is on a roll . just a day after the teaser of his upcoming film badrinath ki dulhania was released , here is more from his end . so while you can keep gushing over the first look of his next co - starring alia bhatt , varun has returned to the sets of his second project this year \u2013 judwaa 2 . and what\u2019s more interesting is the news that varun has kicked off the film\u2019s shooting with a devotional song .\njudwaa was a 1997 hit film starring salman khan , karisma kapoor and rambha . the film was reportedly a remake of the telugu movie hello brother ( 1994 ) , which in turn was based on jackie chan\u2019s twin dragons ( 1992 ) .\nsajid nadiadwala ' s \u2018judwaa 2 , \u2019 which is a sequel to the hit salman khan starter of the same name , has been a hot topic for a while now . while the film ' s announcement itself created a lot of buzz , varun dhawan ' s confirmation as the lead made the project even bigger . and now we hear that one of the leads opposite varun is going to be his ' dishoom ' co - star , jacqueline fernandez , suggests a report on spotboye . com . the report quoted a source revealing that while shooting the climax scene of \u2018dishoom\u2019 sajid had come on set at the mehboob studios and was in an intense conversation with varun and jackie in the vanity van for very long and they ( people on set ) overheard \u2018judwaa 2\u2019 being discussed . well , now that\u2019s quite a casting coup ! while this is one sequel we are eagerly awaiting , move on to read about other sequels that are worth looking forward to\u2026\nthough her latest release didn\u2019t perfrom well on box office , still a few days back taapsee thanked her fans for giving a good response to naam shabana even though the film was not lead by a superstar like akshay kumar . the actor also expressed her excitement about the shoot of judwaa 2 on her twitter handle as she wrote , \u201cgood release \u2611\ufe0f good response \u2611\ufe0f good holiday \u2611\ufe0f good food \u2611\ufe0f now off for a good start with a super good cast n crew # judwaa2 @ varun _ dvn \ud83d\ude4c\ud83c\udffc . \u201d\naccording to latest reports , \u2018aankhen 2\u2019 , it will be produced by rajtaru studios , who won the court battle against gaurang doshi , the producer of the original film . and according to sources , one of the names for a pivotal part is of sushant singh rajput .\nfor a long time there were speculations whether or not varun dhawan will play the lead in judwaa 2 , which is a sequel to the 1997 film starring salman khan , karisma kapoor and rambha . which just life the first one , even this is being directed by varun\u2019s father david dhawan . producer sajid nadiadwala\u2019s banner shared the first images from the sets on twitter . even his wife warda nadiadwala tweeted some images to announce that the film has gone on floors . the team reportedly started filming its first segment which is a devotional song , dedicated to lord ganesh .\nthe salman khan , karisma kapoor and rambha starrer judwaa was a blockbuster and the audience have a special place for the film in their hearts . be it the memorable dialogues , exciting performances or sensational songs , everything about the film continues to grip the audiences even after 20 years of its release .\na few months ago , when sajid nadiadwala announced that he is planning to remake salman khan starrer judwaa with varun dhawan as the lead , it made all the fans really excited . ever since the announcement , there have been many speculations about who would be the two leading ladies opposite varun in the film .\n\u201cdue to technological constraints , you\u2019d notice that in the original judwaa there weren\u2019t many shots of prem and raja actually touching each other . also back then , the cameras used to be pretty - much static and wide - angled and since the visual effects in bollywood practically didn\u2019t exist , the double effect was realised with the help of camera trickery and optical effects , \u201d adds mahesh . \u201cin judwaa 2 on the other hand , you\u2019d see prem and raja hugging each other and one opening the door for the other . with newer technology and motion control cameras , it\u2019s now possible to duplicate the same moment any number of times . the angle and position are all locked in a computer , so a situation can be recreated identically , multiple times , for an actor to perform different shots for his respective character in a double role . the same technique was used in the shot where prem and raja come face - to - face with each other for the first time . \u201d\nrating : na veteran actor rishi kapoor said that bollywood makes garbage movie because film lovers don ' t want to watch good movies . this is partly true . cine goers seek entertainment , not preaching documentaries . however bollywood has always been best when it mixes entertainment with light moments and some lessons . whenever such movies are made they work wonders . judwaa 2 does not fall in that category . it is a typical pot boiler that takes indian film industry and audience 20 years back to a senseless subject for over two hours and you are forced to move out before your head blasts . there was no point in making the remake of a typical comedy that makes you smile even today . with added loudness and overacting by the three leads , this movie is an indigestible masala .\nan insider on the project revealed , \u201cin one of his avatars , opposite taapsee , varun will portray a college student . these portions will be filmed in london . his tapori twin will be seen romancing jacqueline fernandez and their scenes will be shot in mumbai . \u201d at the moment , judwa 2\u2019s team working on the looks of the four characters and the music , which will have fresh tracks , and a remix of the orignal chartbuster , tan tana tan .\nthe project has been produced by sajid nadiadwala whose wife warda took to micro blogging site twitter to share a picture from the set . she tweeted , \u201cand so it kickstarts # judwaa2 # sufyannadiadwala # shafaatnadiadwala # subhankhannadiadwala @ ngemovies ' s clap team need your love now . . \u201d\nthe shooting kick started with a mahurat shot on friday . the pictures surfacing on social media also showed varun , sajid and david in deep discussion on sets . the project has been helmed by varun\u2019s father david dhawan . the father -

[ 12 ]\nto start with , there are no self - sacrificing bahus and sobbing daughters over here . it is a young and fun story that involves a bunch of youngsters who live life on their own terms . the concept , although a rip - off , is a first on indian television . and this will definitely make it work at least for the first few weeks . the sets are refreshing to look at with colour being used abundantly , especially where the office scenes are shot . aamir ali , who looks like bharti ' s prospective love interest , plays a subdued character , but makes his presence felt . although termed as eijaz khan ' s comeback vehicle , he was seen only in a couple of scenes in the serial . guess , we will have to wait for his comeback again . the serial belongs to ragini and she overacts . her desperate attempt to act like a man stuck in a woman ' s body fails miserably . she is loud but not entertaining enough . the other characters in the serial are mostly newbies and as usual it ' s hard to tell one from the other , at least based on their acting skills . vivek mushran continues his disorderly run even on tv . he may have gained weight in the last few years , but lacks acting skills even today . with dialogues like\naaj main tumhe sabak sikhata hoon\nand\nbhagwan mere saath toone yeh kyun kiya\nwe don ' t see the serial going any further . someone please get innovative . verdict : if boredom rules your life and you have nothing to do then you can give this a shot . the rest , please stay away .\nwhen asked about her role in gurgaon , the actress said that it\u2019s something very different .\nthe actress was so tight -

troubled white family , now living in an urban apartment building .\nbut irrevocably , apartment 143 pulls a paranormal activity and supplies the audience a valedictory , declarative , unnecessary image that not only undercuts the film\u2019s narrative and thematic point , but actually contradicts it .\nleider nichts neues aus der sparte \u201efound footage\u201c . im gruseligen und spuk -

up or these character profiles , but i was heartily encouraged that , in broad strokes , apartment 143 attempts to portray accurately a seldom seen , seldom - explored aspect of parapsychological literature .\na parapsychologist team are asked to investigate apartment 143 . the white family , who have lost their wife / mother in a car crash , have been experiencing strange things since they moved in to the apartment . but , they were also experiencing things at their old place . after the team set up their equipment , they get some compelling evidence on camera .\n[ \u2026 ] murphy really gave it his all . i also poked around a bit and found that rodrigo cortes also did apartment 143 , which you\u2019ll recall i enjoyed as well . hopefully we will see more of his work in the [ \u2026 ]\na team of parapsychologists sets out to investigate a series of anomalous phenomena taking place in a newly occupied apartment .\nand then along comes apartment 143\u2019s last shot - - aping paranormal activity\u2019s disqualifying and ridiculous demon close - up - - to make total mincemeat of all the film\u2019s good , dedicated work . i suppose the reckoning was that the film needed a final \u201cscare\u201d or \u201cjolt\u201d\nit took me a couple of days to sit down to write a review for the new to vod release \u2018apartment 143 . \u2019 when this happens it usually means one of two things : either the movie was so fucked up that it took me a couple of days to wrap my rather simple brain around what i just saw , or , the film is so uninspired that it just really leaves me with no desire to sit down an invest the time in writing a halfway decent review . unfortunately for \u2018apartment 143\u2019 it\u2019s the second scenario that\u2019s in play here .\nregardless , i was pleased to see apartment 143 begin as a kind of \u201chaunting\u201d or \u201cpossession\u201d film and then veer into the poltergeist theory of paranormal activity . i felt that such a distinct choice could distinguish the film in terms of its brethren ( much as insidious utilized astral projection ) .\nmuch of the camera work in apartment 143 is actually quite good , especially as it grows increasingly frenetic . the film\u2019s climax is practically insane , at least from a camera standpoint , and even if you don\u2019t necessarily feel scared , you\u2019ll feel excited and a bit rattled by the proceedings .\nwhile some of the lead performances in apartment 143 are pretty weak - - notably that of michael o\u2019keefe as dr . helzer - - the film nonetheless builds up a more - than - adequate head - of - steam in the third act . there\u2019s a strong sense of suspense accelerating and multiplying as the finale nears .\ni am an avid horror movie fan . i found apartment 143 to be very disappointing . there was no real plot , the acting was poor , and the footage even worse . this movie left a lot to be desired . besides a few acceptable scenes , i would call this one a total flop . no , i do not recommend it .\nthere have been so many found footage films produced and released at this point , that you can practically predict the characters and their nature from the first frames of apartment 143 . the camera - guy , paul , has the bravado , informality , and sass . the professor has the \u201cbelief\u201d and \u201cknowledge , \u201d and so on . and ellen is the most sincere and straightforward of the bunch .\ni passed up apartment 143 a few times in my instant queue . i admit , i judged this book by it\u2019s cover . i thought it looked like some done before possession movie , then i read the synopsis and moved along . this movie would be the first i\u2019m reviewing as suggested by a follower ( you can always recommend movies here any time ) and my suggestion page promises i will watch it .\nlate in the film , professor halzer states that \u201c there is nothing supernatural in the universe because nature can\u2019t transcend itself . \u201d it\u2019s a good , cerebral line of dialogue , and all through the low - budget apartment 143 , you\u2019ll be rooting for the film to transcend the limitations of its format and really go for broke . it actually succeeds , but then grasps for that unnecessary and dumb jolt in the last minute .\nthe investigators bring in a medium , attempt an interview with the spirit , and launch a painstaking scientific survey of the apartment by utilizing motion sensors , infrared detectors , and flash - bulbs .\nin some ways , i suppose stephen king ' s carrie is really a story about poltergeist activity , though it isn\u2019t parsed or explained that way , technically . the book and de palma film get right , however , the idea that these frightening pk powers over the environment occur at the same time as the hothouse changes of puberty . there may be even a connection to apartment 143 and carrie . both families involved are named\nwhite .\ni leaned back and settled in for some great fan suggested scares , and was crestfallen when i discovered it\u2019s found footage . i want it to stop , but a promise is a promise , and the first guy we meet \u201cpaul\u201d was endearing . i kept calm and carried on . apartment 143 is a combination of found footage and surveillance footage . i liken it to paranormal activity if someone also had a handy cam as well as the wall mounted cams .\nand , to its credit , apartment 143\u2019s script makes a strong case for poltergeist activity in the white family , given the traumas it has experienced since mrs . white\u2019s death . in other words , the story tracks relatively well , and the poltergeist theory seems valid and legitimate to what we see unfold on on - screen . kai lennox gets a great moment here - - and one sustained for some time \u2013 in which he emotionally lays out the family dynamic .\nhey guys , just finished watching apartment 143 / emergo and i am a bit confused on the ending . there was a whole implication about the father molesting the daughter but that didn ' t go anywhere . the ' scientists ' at the end also talked about going to the police and i am not quite sure why . also , the last 5 seconds . . . doesn ' t it completely undo all the\nthere is nothing supernatural going on here\npremise of the movie ?\nleider nichts neues aus der sparte \u201efound footage\u201c . im gruseligen und spuk -

footage set - up . perhaps if these had been explained in talking head interviews it wouldn ' t seem so clunky and forced . the film does well to have a little mystery behind it and the cast are generally rather impressive . one of the biggest problems is how quick it wants to start . i don ' t find that these films work without a decent amount of build up . here , the camera crew walk in and stuff is happening almost immediately . i also got tired at the scientists continued explanations of stuff when it was clear that some of these things were impossible to explain . some decent effects and genuine scary parts make this a fine effort , but with a bit more time and some better pacing this could have been so much better .\ni am as confused as ever by the ending and how it blows the accepted psychological explanation to pieces . i checked imdb\u2019s apartment 143 page to see if anyone else was confused as well . in the forums , many people created more plausible explanations for the supernatural / psychological aspects of the movie than what the movie itself did . the consensus is that it was a haunting after all and the demonic entity was the cause for cynthia and caitlin\u2019s changes . i like this explanation ; it proves that science doesn\u2019t solve every problem and we need to be more open to possibilities . i\u2019m no less confused by how these very obvious paranormal situations were written off as mental illness and anger issues . if anyone can explain how the psychological theory posed by dr . helzer makes sense ( in context of the movie ) , i would love to hear it .\napartment 143 begins with a team of parapsychology investigators driving to their assignment . the team banters / insults each other , which is not at all important except that viewers learn that paul is the technology expert , ellen is the \u201ctelephone girl\u201d / secretary , and dr . helzer is the parapsychologist ( more of a true psychologist , but with some knowledge of the supernatural ) . the team meets the family , a recently - widowed father of a young boy named benjamin and a thirteen - year - old girl named caitlin . the father , mr . white , thinks they are being followed by a destructive , angry ghost , possibly his dead wife cynthia . the team sets up all sorts of neat environment monitoring equipment and for the weekend the family is under video surveillance . all of that is straightforward , but then explanations of the psychological or supernatural phenomenon get confusing .\nwas wrong about everything , even though he made a decent case for his theories . it could be the mom ' s ghost from beyond causing all of the mischief , but then again , we think it ' s the daughter . however it all shakes out in the end , something creepy was going on in that apartment , and it happened for reasons . things happened for reasons !\nit ' s more concerned with forcing an agitated mood of moving furniture and phantasmagoric discoveries via technology instead of showing how the presence of deep , dark demons afflicts those in the apartment . the danger of the spectral denizen can be felt , sure , and the family ' s back story holds superficial interest , but it doesn ' t create enough suspension of disbelief to convince those watching that they ' re observant flies on the wall .\nfrom the beginning there is evidence of a supernatural entity in the apartment . there is unexplainable tapping , phone calls with nobody on the other end , items being rearranged / destroyed , changes in characters ( especially teenage caitlin ) , physical attacks , video footage being deleted without any of the team members touching the computers or equipment , actual sightings of an entity , possession of caitlin , and near the end , massive poltergeist activity and caitlin levitating at the same time .\ndr . helzer has paul install motion tracking cameras and fixed cams in the corners of every room in the house to record everything ( paranormal activity style ) while paul also wanders around with a handheld camera for mobility , closeups , and interviews with the whites . after the cameras are set up , the activity begins immediately with repeated loud resounding banging noises coming from the abandoned apartment upstairs . paul is sent up to investigate , but we assume nothing turns up , as there is no footage of this .\ni will point out that if you enjoy this movie as much as i did , stop the movie after paul and dr . helzer leave the apartment together . trust me , the last 15 seconds suffer from the same problem the first paranormal activity did . it was excellent cinema until the very , very last second when they go for the cheap scare where just leaving it alone would have been more impact - full . just turn it off and savor the movie . do yourself the favor that the movie\u2019s studio couldn\u2019t do .\na team of parapsychologists sets out to investigate a series of anomalous phenomena taking place in a newly occupied apartment . telephone calls with no caller , mysterious shadows , extraordinary light emissions , flying objects , and exploding light bulbs are some of the events they will face while recording their every step with state -

- trust me , elaborating further than that really isn ' t that necessary - - answer an inquiry to inspect the home of a single father of two , a place riddled with ceiling thuds , rattling pictures , and flickering lights . the unusual thing is that the activity isn ' t limited to just this apartment ; the previous place where the family lived exhibited the same\nsymptoms\n, as if it traveled with them . after a few up - close experiences with the unexplained force , one that ' s not really shy or discrete about its presence , the team throws the paranormal / parapsychology kitchen sink at it - - devices , mediums , seances , the works - - to try and drive out whatever darkness this is that surrounds the family . but , as to be expected , we don ' t really have the full picture of the family ' s tumultuous history , where a strung - out father and a flagrant , rebellious daughter seem to be guarding a closet with more than a few skeletons .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\n. while praise dogpiled on the true - to - life story of a nature trekker trapped in a canyon , cortes ' exercise in breathless claustrophobia proved that he - - armed with the right performances , cinematography , and lighting - - could generate a lot of tension with limited space and resources . the regrettable truth about\n) , an infusion of the found footage and haunted house corners of the horror genre , is that cortes limits himself to the writer ' s chair for this project , relinquishing the helm to carles torrens . in place of resourceful anxiety , the material scrapes together into little more than a muddy\nknockoff with an abrasive attitude and chaotic visuals , where under torrens ' direction it induces headaches long before it scares up haunting tension .\n: it ' s steeped in genre tropes and familiarities , but intuitive enough with the family turmoil angle to carve its own path . better direction and a tighter grasp on getting genuine performances could ' ve made this a credible contemporary to the\na lot of that is due to the maddening visual perspective . director torrens works to distinguish\n, and towards a mosaic of footage types ; cameras of varying analog and digital quality mix with night - vision shots and fish - eyed surveillance monitoring , at times strapped onto the sides of the characters ' heads . instead of departing from the norm into something innovative , the spastic shifts in quality - - as well as the profuse , gritty shakes during high - action scenes - - simply try too damn hard without paying mind to sustaining a persuasive ambience . admittedly , there are some sharp tricks at its disposal , such as an eerie hallway sequence involving grainy surveillance footage and a swath of motion sensors , but they ' re countered with either nauseating shaky - cam excess or trite infrared jump - scares . it everything we ' ve seen before , only trite , loud and much more spastic .\ndoes expand on its meager sinister purposes , though , blustering through eighty minutes of escalating paranormal tension that ' s punctuated by the family ' s haunting past - - and that meager foundation pushes it towards a chaotic climax of spectral fury and traumatic plot revelations . yet , aside from a few jolts and dim spectral exhibitions , there ' s simply not a lot to the parapsychological machinations that ' ll get the skin crawling or teeth chattering ; and no , loud noises , levitating bodies , a few white eyes and distorted voices aren ' t enough when they ' re mundanely tossed between half - baked characters and a tedious environment . and i don ' t consider that to be the fault of rodrigo cortes , really : underneath the routine paranormal faux - documentary tropes , there ' s a suitable range of dialogue and an eerie disposition built around the family ' s tumultuous past and uncertain future .\nneeded far more subtlety , room for the moody essence of the found footage genre to do something singular .\n' s blu - ray transfer . it ' s a mix of 1 . 85 : 1 and 1 . 33 : 1 footage ; some of it is grainy , some of it is high - contrast , and some of it exhibits heavy pixilation , distortion , and muddled detail around contours . however , all of that plays into the erratic visual temperament that the film sets out to achieve , a mix of different mediums in an edited - together patchwork of material to create a mosaic of the events . i could comment on the heaviness of the grain in darker sequences , the jaggedness around characters , and the oppressive white bloom in lighter shots , but much of it factors into the look it ' s going for . the 24p frame movement seems on point , though , and you ' ll find a handful of shots that express suitable hd robustness ( those framed at 1 . 85 : 1 ) . it ' s the way the film ' s supposed to look , and the blu - ray achieves the experience .\nit ' s a little easier to develop some impressions on the sonic side of things , since this english 5 - channel master audio track nails a few sharp instances of bass usage and dimensionality . most notable are the thuds and crashes that occur in other rooms , which the lower - frequency and higher - end sides of the surround design create a fine , robust stage to get wrapped up in . but , again , there ' s more than a substantial amount of material that ' s distorted because of the found - footage aesthetic : muffled dialogue , thin atmosphere , blips and grating sounds get the aesthetic point across , yet they ' re not really much to absorb in term of hd interest . it ' s fine , and it matches the visual temperament as expected . english and spanish subs can be played with the sole master audio track .\nthe job of any decent making - of video is to make the audience really appreciate the technique and skill implemented in specific parts of the film , and this featurette mostly accomplishes that . interviews with carles torrens , rodrigo cortes , and the other cast and crew hit on points in the production , from how they see the visual temperament as unique from the rest of the genre to the\nvoyeuristic\napproach to following the characters and activities in the picture . you ' ll get plenty of behind - the - scenes shots , though they ' re largely what you ' d expect on a low - budget , one - room set .\n( 5 : 02 , sd ) . finally , we ' ve got a theatrical trailer ( 2 : 22 , hd ) .\nto be a tedious , stale case of genre necromancy . it ' s pretty much everything you ' ve seen before :\npragmatic\ncamera footage , family issues , and a slow simmer to a bold climax within the space of a single , chaotic setting . what it ' s missing is the the authenticity and the scares to bolster rodrigo cortes ' decently - written paranormal script , which largely hinges on an overestimation of the thrill - value and a lack of concentration on giving the characters more than cursory depth . some genre fans might find it watchable enough for a rental , but it ' ll simply be something to pile on top of the other meandering genre entries out there .\ncopyright 2018 all rights reserved . legal info , privacy policy , terms of use\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\ncheck out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy , the predator , zoe , and the king of thieves .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\na reality television crew , whose show features stories about drug addicts , finds that their 16 -

' he then administers electric shocks , as in a boris karloff movie . this amazing medical miracle is short - lived , literally , as margot wants not a revived zombie , but simply the secret hidden in olins ' memory .\nthe key element in this explosive reaction is jean gillie , an english actress whose early death in 1949 deprived cinema of one of its darkest jezebels . like her compatriot peggy cummins ( annie laurie starr in gun crazy ) , she makes no attempt , as margot shelby , to americanize her origins ; in explanation , decoy lets her spit out her contempt for poverty in an eloquent aria about that \u2018dingy , dirty street\u2019 that \u2018runs all over the world , \u2019 and through the sooty mill town in england she came from . she vows never to go back to want , and her unquenchable greed powers the plot .\nreported that 95 % of critics gave the film a positive review based on 44 reviews , with an average score of 8 . 4 / 10 . rotten tomatoes summarizes the critical consensus as ,\ngeorge c . scott ' s sympathetic , unflinching portrayal of the titular general in this sprawling epic is as definitive as any performance in the history of american biopics .\nover the course of this film\u2019s action - packed 76 - minute runtime , no less than two men essentially walk out of their graves to get what they want . the whole story is framed by a voice - over slipping into the beyond , but not spoken by a dead man like joe gillis , but by an evil woman whose life force is rapidly ebbing away .\nwhen scott learned that the speech would open the film , he refused to do it , as he believed that it would overshadow the rest of his performance . director schaffner assured him that it would be shown at the end . the scene was shot in one afternoon at sevilla studios in madrid , with the flag having been painted on the back of the stage wall .\nthe film ends with patton walking his dog , a bull terrier named willie , and scott relating in a voice over that a returning hero of ancient rome was honored with a triumph , a victory parade in which\na slave stood behind the conqueror , holding a golden crown , and whispering in his ear a warning : that all glory . . . is fleeting .\nbut , of course , the film is not helped out by the fact that the majority of the film ' s actors could not act their way out of a circus tent . edward norris is very weak in his vincent the gangster role , sheldon leonard is as wooden as a bar stool in his joe the detective role and herbert rudley is frankly just terrible as the double - crossed dr . craig with every overdone action and line delivery - being about as believable in his role as bill clinton exclaiming he is a one woman man . jean gillie is the strongest member of the cast ; although looking better than she acts , gillie is at least believable as the seductive villainess margot ( she should have worked on her weird evil cackle , however ) .\ntheme , yubaba ' s act of taking chihiro ' s name and replacing it with sen ( an alternate reading of\nchi\n, the first character in chihiro ' s name - lit .\none thousand\n) , is symbolic of capitalism ' s single - minded concern with value , reflecting the film ' s exploration of capitalism and its effect on traditional japanese culture .\nwashington , d . c . , july 22 , 2016 - u . s . atomic tests in bikini atoll in july 1946 staged by a joint army - navy task force were the first atomic explosions since the bombings of japan a year earlier . documents posted today by the national security archive about \u201coperation crossroads\u201d shed light on these events as do galleries of declassified videos and photographs . of two tests staged to determine the effects of the new weapons on warships , the \u201cbaker\u201d test was the most dangerous by contaminating nearby test ships with radioactive mist . according to the joint chiefs of staff\u2019s evaluation board , because of the radioactive water spewed from the lagoon , the \u201ccontaminated ships became radioactive stoves , and would have burned all living things aboard with invisible and painless but deadly radiation . \u201d"]}

flowing , hard - blowing sequence . but the film also showcases some of keaton\u2019s best intimate acting , including a scene in which his father tries to find him a more manly hat , and a painfully hilarious attempt to pantomime of a jailbreak plan .\ndepending how you cut it , the roaring \u201920s\u2019 can be a long decade too . these uncertain times began in the aftermath of the first world war , and didn\u2019t end until the wall street crash in october 1929 . arguably , the jazz age wasn\u2019t truly dead and buried until prohibition was repealed in the us in 1933 . and for hollywood cinephiles , we may say the decade of decadence lasted until the hays censorship code began to bite in 1934 .\nas this italian film\u2019s title suggests , it\u2019s about the constant motion of the modern age , as a young couple stays on the move , unable to find a place in the industrial age . director mario camerini went on to make tame , socially conservative comedies under mussolini\u2019s regime , earning him a reputation as a fascist stooge . you wouldn\u2019t guess that watching rotaie , a stylistically bold film about social upheaval and aimlessness . the characters experience the life of both the poor and the rich , and the camera reflects their uncertainty at some moments , and boredom at others . in an age where you could travel the world faster than ever before , you could also change your life with the same pace .\nanne frank is a jewish girl who had to go into hiding during the second world war to escape the nazis . she kept a diary while in hiding at prinsengracht in amsterdam . anne and the others in hiding were discovered and deported to the concentration camps . of the eight people in hiding only anne ' s father , otto frank , survives .\nevery film that has ever been nominated for an academy award in any category . enjoy !\ntony curtis and jack lemmon are musicians on the run from chicago mobsters , dressing up as women to avoid identification , and to mingle with monroe\u2019s band . all would run smooth were it not for the temptations of romance , sex and expensive yachts . and as curtis and lemmon find out what it feels like for a girl in the permissive 20s , they gain an insight into bow\u2019s unhappiness : heartbreak , harassment , high -

screen stars . and so this delightful short features straying beetles , exotic dragonfly dancers and pushy grasshopper cameramen . starevich satirizes the still - young film industry with a clever story , but the real fun is in his miniature sets and tawdry bugs .\nthe content of jazz on the screen : a jazz and blues filmography by david meeker is copyrighted by david meeker and used here by permission of the author .\nit ' s the latter impression that endures . dovzhenko ' s symbolism is both rich and audacious . his scope comprises vast pastoral landscapes , and intimate fleshy nakedness . perhaps its most celebrated sequence is the magnificent opening scene : the painful counterpoint between a dying man , his infant grandchildren and the bursting fruit of his orchard . this is living cinema , as refreshing and vital as the film ' s own climactic downpour . pamela hutchinson\nborn on may 4 , 1929 , in brussels , belgium , audrey hepburn was a talented performer known for her beauty , elegance and grace . often imitated , she remains one of hollywood & apos ; s greatest style icons . a native of brussels , hepburn spent part of her youth in england at a boarding school there . during much of world war ii , she studied at the arnhem conservatory in the netherlands . after the nazis invaded the country , hepburn and her mother struggled to survive . she reportedly helped the resistance movement by delivering messages , according to an article in the new york times .\ngo behind the scenes of the mission : impossible movies , check out the latest videos and trailers , and see which spy movies topped the box office in our mission : impossible guide .\nat the age of 22 , audrey hepburn went to new york to star in the broadway production of gigi , based on the book by the french writer colette . set in paris around 1900 , the comedy focuses on the title character , a young teenage girl on the brink of adulthood . her relatives try to teach her ways of being a courtesan , to enjoy the benefits of being with a wealthy man without having to marry . they try to get a friend of the family , gaston , to become her patron , but the young couple has other ideas .\nanne doesn\u2019t just keep a diary during her time in the secret annex . she also writes short stories and collects her favourite sentences by other writers in a notebook . anne hopes for her diary to be published as a novel after the war . that\u2019s why she starts rewriting it . but anne never manages to finish it . she ' s discovered and arrested before she completes her work .\nof course , there is more to the film than simply that sequence . if there were not , it could hardly have survived its endless revivals and regenerations\u2014including a screening in trafalgar square in 2004 to the accompaniment of a new pet shop boys score . you could blame the techniques eisenstein used here and in strike for much of the stroboscopic editing that has dominated hollywood for the past 30 years , but that would be to miss the beauty , clarity and rage of his methods . the film still stands as a distillation of all that was revolutionary about this filmmaker , and all that can still be revolutionary in cinema . ryan gilbey\nlois webber would go on to make several social - message features , some reflecting rather skewed , but nevertheless deeply held worldviews , but her purest cinematic punch is suspense , a 10 - minute collaboration with her husband , phillips smalley , that provides exactly what the title promises . the film crosscuts between a woman under siege by a tramp and a husband hurrying home to save her , if he can avoid the police . the inventive camera work ratchets up the tension more effectively than even d . w . griffith did at the time . what\u2019s most satisfying , though , is how weber and smalley distill one of the most primal feelings cinema can offer .\nmotion picture | short film ( under 30 minutes ) . paul whiteman . ( personnel on camera ) . motion picture ( form ) .\njazz on the screen is a reference work of filmographic information and does not point to digitized versions of the items described . the library of congress may or may not own a copy of a particular film or video . to request additional information ask a librarian .\nalfred hitchcock \u2019s first sound film was also his last silent , as blackmail was made in both formats . while the sound version is known for hitchcock\u2019s experiments with the new technology ( most famously a scene that emphasizes the word \u201cknife\u201d ) , the silent version flows much smoother . and donald calthrop\u2019s performance of the blackmailer feels even creepier with just his face and body language doing the job .\ngrace potter is a singer and musician who fronts the band the nocturnals . she also sang on the hit duet\nyou and tequila\nwith country singer kenny chesney .\nadmittedly , it ' s a flawed story . the acting is theatrical , the characters bizarrely naive and neurotic , and the plot notoriously muddled . even the recent release of a near - complete version failed to explain everything . but in its broader strokes , metropolis draws on deep roots ( biblical , jungian , wagnerian , fairy - tale ) to explore themes that continue to concern us : the dehumanising effects of industrialisation ; the fetishisation of technology ; the divide between the rich and poor , the rulers and the labourers , the\nhead\nand the\nhands\n. politically , the film has been read across the spectrum , from social - democratic to pro - fascist . ( lang ' s wife and co - writer thea von harbou did , indeed , join the nazi party later on . )\n\u201cvertov had a whole bunch of techniques for capturing \u2018life unawares , \u2019 like hiding cameras , surprising people by sticking a camera in their face , distracting people with a fake camera and generally catching them off guard , \u201d said jeremy hicks , a scholar of russian film at queen mary university of london . mr . hicks called \u201cunder the sun\u201d mr . mansky\u2019s \u201cmost vertov - like film\u201d because of the lengths it goes to show the audience how it was made . for instance , text hovers over shots to reveal the truth behind the carefully curated illusion . \u201cthe script of this film was assigned to us by the north korean side , \u201d reads one .\n( unfortunately , the soundtrack on the warner archive dvd leaves something to be desired . he who gets slapped deserves a fine score , like the one the matti bye ensemble played at the san francisco silent film festival in 2011 . hopefully it\u2019ll be available some day . )\nin his later years , charlie chaplin was known for bringing pathos into his comedy whenever he had the opportunity . city lights is the movie where he earns every bit of it . while its structure resembles chaplin\u2019s usual picaresque format , there\u2019s more of a deliberate purpose as the tramp tries to help a poor , blind flower girl , played adorably by virginia cherrill . harry myers also deserves a mention for his performance as the millionaire who\u2019s generous when he\u2019s drunk and can\u2019t remember his good deeds when he\u2019s sober ."]}

down :\nup first is kettavannu peredutha nallavanda penned by vaali . in silambarasan fashion , this one heralds his entry on - screen . with a typical nadhaswaram - rural beat and shankar mahadevan ' s [ images ] voice , the tune ( which reminds you at places of podhuva en manasu thangam from rajini ' s murattu kalai ) offers no surprises . a certain percussion interlude is almost verbatim to the en asai mythili piece . the rest is all about how crowds gather for the hero and how the average tamilian ought to raise his head .\nnalamdhana begins with an english rap , the lyrics of which have been penned by suzie q & earl . the first tamil line is the same as the old classic nalamdhana written by gangai amaren , which seems almost a sacrilege when you compare it to the impact made by the original . in the meantime , silambarasan , earl and suzie q have taken turns to present this hotchpotch of a song ( little bits from earlier yuvan creations ) , which has random rap with kuthu overtones . this one too ends with a fast - paced percussion piece , a la en aasai mythili . doubtless , it will serve its purpose in the picturisation .\nilayaraja croons machaan machaan , along with bela shende . na muthukumar ' s lyrics speak of a romantic piece in a colloquial fashion . perhaps it ' s meant to evoke the same emotions as kadhal valarthaen from manmadhan - - certainly the song is very similar , though diluted .\nyou can ' t help but grin at where is the party ? , a typically irreverent take on kabhi alvida na kehna ' s where ' s the party tonight . it begins with strange and weird dumeel noises . mukesh ' s accent , priyadarshini ' s voice and silambarasan ' s rabble - rousing lyrics that describe the pubbing and clubbing lifestyle make you giggle . the pace and staccato rhythm perfectly match the synthesised kuthu music . there ' s not much of melody , and it might not be to the taste of someone who ' s looking for a classy song . it is one of those songs that is meant to make you shake a leg . the last few words , especially , make you laugh out loud . you get the feeling that everyone had a blast when they were doing this particular piece .\nperhaps yuvan shankar raja has spoilt you by his innovative work in his previous albums but in this one , he seems to have careened off after silambarasan ' s tastes . he might have ended up satisfying the makers ; the duo ' s track record might help in this album becoming a best - seller . but the collection , barring one or two moments , is nowhere near his best .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nrajnikant is a vibrant youth who cannot tolerate injustice . this attitude lands him in trouble . radhika enters his life and later becomes his consort . she reforms him with the guidance of major sundararajan and visu . visu incurs a loss and plans to close his factory . rajni requests and takes over the factory and repays all debts . as a token of gratitude visu gives all his wealth to rajni before his death . time passes by . rajni in his middle age runs the factory to everyone ' s satisfaction . rajni also controls the financial affairs of visu ' s family . but karthik , visu ' s son is not in good terms with rajni . to avenge rajini , karthik lures rajni ' s daughter thulasi and marries her . what happens next is the rest of the movie .\nrajinikanth , radhika , karthik , thulasi , major sundarrajan , visu , y . gee . mahendra , y . vijaya , v . k . ramasamy\n\u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0ba4\u0bc6\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0b9e\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bc6\u0b9e\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bae\u0bcd . . . mamndram vandha thenralukku manjam vara . . . spb hit songs\npillai nila irandum vellai nila hd song | neengal kettavai | k . j . yesudas | \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3\u0bc8 \u0ba8\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbe\ncopyright disclaimer under section 107 of the copyright act 1976 . all the songs at starmusiq . com are for listening purposes only . making duplicate audio cd ' s from mp3 files is illegal . allowance is made for\nfair use\n. therefore please kindly support us by buying original version of audio cd ' s from your local retailer . all the rights are reserved to the audio company . the owner of this website cannot held liability for any illegal usage of the contents . any disclaimer , please click here to contact us .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nan aggressive young man is reformed due to visu , a kind man who eventually leaves him in charge of his business . karthik , visu ' s son , is irked by this and seeks revenge by luring the man ' s daughter .\nthe\nmost anticipated indian movies and shows\nwidget tracks the real -

com version of hawthorne ' s novel , it doesn ' t try to be the exact same story . set in modern day california , the film ' s laced with similar themes and plot points as the scarlet letter , in a clear homage to the novel . it follows a high school student , olive , who acts as a modern day hester prynne .\nthe credits acknowledge that this new version of\nthe scarlet letter\nhas been\nfreely adapted from the novel by nathaniel hawthorne ,\nwhich is one of the understatements of the year . opening with what look like outtakes from\nthe mission\nand continuing with fat slices of\nthe last of the mohicans ,\nthe crucible\nand hothouse eroticism that ' s pure hollywood , this borderline campy look at the puritans is politically correct melodrama with sex on the brain .\n( 13 ) jennie rose , \u201ewomen in film , \u201d available at urltoken ; accessed on 7 aug , 2004 .\nshe leans back and the dark cascade of hair ripples over her shoulders . now i see why english director roland joffe had to have her for hester prynne , the outcast heroine of the scarlet letter .\nher face was beautiful from regularity of feature and richness of complexion ,\nwrote nathaniel hawthorne , describing prynne .\nshe has dark and abundant hair , so glossy that it threw off sunshine like a gleam .\nthere ' s no sunshine in this hotel room but if there were , moore ' s hair would fling it against all four walls at once . hair , however , will not save her from the critics lining up to massacre the scarlet letter .\nscientology founder l . ron hubbard published battlefield earth in 1982 . although the book received mixed reviews by critics , it became a new york times best seller and sold over 150 , 000 copies . john travolta , a strong supporter of scientology , was eager to create the film version of hubbard\u2019s novel . after a series of financial and distribution problems , franchise pictures released the film version of battlefield earth in 2000 . between the film\u2019s bad acting , horrible cgi , and terrible writing , the film earned seven razzies . although the studio considered a sequel , the idea was quickly scrapped due to the poor reception and franchise pictures\u2019 bankruptcy .\noldman has heard the criticisms of the changes and shrugs them off . moore is much less relaxed . she feels compelled to repulse the charges as though her big salary makes her the poster girl for hollywood ' s artistic values - but then many have said the scarlett letter is her audition to become a more serious character actress . the reception the film gets is probably more important to her than oldman .\n: pip\u2019s name was changed to finn for the film , which was the name of ethan hawke\u2019s dog ; finn\u2019s name was changed to jimmy for the novelization , which is the name of jimmy fallon .\nhmm . inasmuch as there is an actual scarlet letter , which moore ' s hester prynne has to slap on her dress as a punishment for having a baby out of wedlock , the film stays close to the book . it also covers the overwhelming guilt of her lover , the reverend dimmesdale ( oldman ) and the planned revenge of her husband , roger chillingworth ( duvall ) . it details puritanical life in colonial america ( a favored subject of nathaniel hawthorne and the cornerstone of his novel ) , and it touches on the sense of guilt that the puritan lifestyle stressed so deeply .\nenglish teachers still wake up screaming in a cold sweat to memories of the infamous demi moore version of the scarlet letter . it has all the hallmarks of a swanky high -

66 .\ncrime novel writer mario puzo the godfather made it to book stores in 1969 . the novel was an eye - opener for american audiences , providing new insight into the history of the new york mafia . hollywood was eager to make the godfather into a movie , allowing puzo to team up with francis ford coppola to write the film version . paramount pictures released the godfather in 1972 and became an american cinematic essential , considered the second greatest american movie by the american film institute .\nwinston groom had his book forrest gump published in 1986 . the enchanting novel touched the hearts of readers and caught hollywood\u2019s interest . paramount pictures released the movie adaptation in 1994 . although hollywood changed some parts of the story , such as forrest\u2019s nasa mission and primate companion , forrest gump was a box office triumph . the film earned six academy awards and landed a spot on the american film institutes\u2019 100 years\u2026100 movies list .\nstephen king\u2019s horror novel the shining hit the bookshelves in 1977 . inspired by his own struggles with alcoholism , king\u2019s novel quickly became a bestseller and solidified his status as a prominent horror writer . stanley kubrick and diane johnson adapted the shining for film and released the movie in 1980 . although the shining was a tremendous success , launching jack nicholson and stanley kubrick into fame , king publicly detested the film , believing it was unfaithful to the book .\nwith the scarlet letter , a universally panned nathaniel hawthorne adaptation that barely broke double - digit box office grosses but cost $ 46 million , joff\u00e9 squandered all of his hard - earned good will , and it & apos ; s been uninspired torture porn ( captivity , 2007 ) and poorly reviewed , minimally released historical pics ( there be dragons , 2011 ) ever since .\nto make sure that we grasp this elemental symbol of adulterous guilt , joffa , in a remarkable gesture , provides a symbol of the symbol , a red bird that comes flying through the film at significant moments ( e . g . , the reverend\u2019s nude swimming scene ) . how did they get a bird this shade of magenta , anyway ? it looks like a canary that fell into a cherry slurpee . somehow , though , it\u2019s an appropriate mascot for this clunky , dawdlingly literal - minded scarlet letter , a movie that doesn\u2019t so much adapt the book as give it an expensive makeover .\nwhere are you , john morris ? where have you gone with your thematic accessibility ? your knack for simple but effective harmonies ? your wonderfully reserved orchestration ? please , come back\u0097and bring with you whatever muse was at your side when you scored the scarlet letter . the fact that this the score to this ' 70s mini - series has grown on me so is all the more remarkable in that i don ' t really care for the source material . i found hawthorne ' s novel over - rated , and have yet to see a film adaptation which transcends it . good film music , however , has the ability to stand quite well on it ' s own\u0097even if it was written for utter dreck . morris ' score transcends the program for which it was written in a manner at once delicate and powerful .\nyet this raises a question : why adapt the scarlet letter in the first place ? what lasting power could this grimly gothic nightmare possibly hold ? the answer , i think , lies in the way that hester , for all her sensuality and pride , remains spiritually bound to the society that shuns her . in the novel , she wears her disgrace on the outside but also , in a more ethereal way , on the inside ( most dramatically , by giving birth to a mystic demon child ) . the book is a parable of how american societal repression can tear apart even the freest of souls .\nthe huge sums she now earns may faze some people , but not moore . she sees her pay days as a standard for other women .\nthe sum itself is inconsequential . the mark in time that women are finding an equivalent box office response to men is what ' s more important . the attitude changing is more important .\nin other words , she brought in the punters for disclosure , not michael douglas , and she ' ll do the same for the scarlet letter . qed , demi moore gets the bucks and so should her fellow actresses .\n( 3 ) robert stam , \u201ethe dialogics of adaptation , \u201d in james naremore ( ed . ) film adaptation . new jersey : rutgers university press , 2000 . , 57 .\ni\u2019d vote no ; the film still clearly cashes in our cultural passion for the tale of two doomed dudes sharing a single body - - and , as per this film , a single crush on julia roberts as the titular housemaid . despite the many technically impressive weird cgi baby arms rising out of john malkovich\u2019s skin during this jekyll - hyde transformation scene , the film was a critical and commercial flop , nominated for more than one razzie in the year of its release and making back only $ 12 million worldwide off of its $ 47 million budget , which , as you\u2019ll see , is kind of a theme here .\nalthough michael crichton\u2019s jurassic park became a bestseller in 1990 , steven spielberg had acquired the film rights in 1989 for $ 1 . 5 million . in 1993 , universal studios released spielberg\u2019s adaptation of the novel jurassic park . the film was a hollywood game changer through its groundbreaking use of cgi and animatronics . jurassic park not only became one of spielberg\u2019s personal triumphs , but also sparked multiple sequels to the beloved classic .\nfinally , i have to emphasize that my aim with this essay was far from \u201eproving\u201d anything about either of the texts under discussion or meticulously study the adaptation process from word to word and from image to image \u2013 the length of this essay would not have allowed such an exercise . what i wished to offer is merely to outline an alternative way of looking at novels and film adaptations without the unnecessary constraints of fidelity criticism ( i . e . without the compulsory and fruitless questions of a text being faithful to another one , or whether the quality of an adaptation matches the quality of the original , etc . ) . the scarlet letter proves to be a classic not because it is part of the literary canon , but \u2013 from the point of view of the present essay \u2013 because its numerous film adaptations cannot exhaust its interpretative capacity and even add further potential readings to it . this is what is at stake in a study of adaptation , which \u2013 i might venture to claim \u2013 is a richer study of the novel as well .\nin that spirit , let\u2019s examine five of the most egregious book - to - film adaptations in recent history , rated against the golden standard of \u201ci , frankenstein\u201d on a scale of one to five gargoyles , five being the absolute worst .\nthe scarlet letter was the first , and the tendency of criticism is to pronounce it the most impressive , also , of these ampler productions . it has the charm of unconsciousness ; the author did not realize while he worked , that this \u201cmost prolix among the tales\u201d was alive with the miraculous vitality of genius . it combines the strength and substance of an oak with the subtle organization of a rose , and is great , not of malice aforethought , but inevitably . it goes to the root of the matter , and reaches some unconventional conclusions , which , however , would scarce be apprehended by one reader in twenty . for the external or literal significance of the story , though in strict correspondence with the spirit , conceals that spirit from the literal eye . the reader may choose his depth according to his inches but only a tall man will touch the bottom .\nthe scarlet letter without this scoring would have just been another period film with a gorgeous woman . . . . . . . lack lustre . . . . . but john barry does it once again . . . proving why he is the king . . . . from the beginning native indian inspired traveling to a new land . . . . . . . . till the ending vindication as love triumphs over old world . . . harsh beliefs . . . . another great score by barry that would remind you of this\nthe last valley\n. . . his soundtrack is getting harder to find at a decent price . . . get it while yah can . . . . .\nbetween hawthorne ' s earlier and his later productions there is no solution of literary continuity , but only increased growth and grasp . rappaccini ' s daughter , young goodman brown , peter goldthwaite ' s treasure , and the artist of the beautiful , on the one side , are the promise which is fulfilled in the scarlet letter and the house of the seven gables , on the other ; though we should hardly have understood the promise had not the fulfillment explained it . the shorter pieces have a lyrical quality , but the longer romances express more than a mere combination of lyrics ; they have a rich , multifarious life of their own . the material is so wrought as to become incidental to something loftier and greater , for which our previous analysis of the contents of the egg had not prepared us .\nimagine if quentin tarantino came to england and directed tess of the d ' urbervilles as a romance in which tess did not hang and all her enemies were annihilated by marauding celts . that ' s about the kind of liberty joffe has taken with the scarlet letter . the ending has been radically altered from the book . moore has a saucy love scene with co - star gary oldman that certainly wasn ' t written by hawthorne , and native americans massacre most of prynne ' s foes . in the movie , oldman and moore both do some serious over - acting .\nand christopher crowe to produce a body of work also entitled the scarlet letter . the effort to introduce the american audience to this classical piece of literature was undertaken , as the film\u2019s star demi moore asserts , because\nnot many people have read the book\n( qtd . in mr . showbiz , par . 4 ) . however , in doing so , joffe has taken away the essence of hawthorne .\nit [ is ] sorrowful to think how many days and weeks and months and years of toil [ have ] been wasted on these musty papers [ of hawthorne\u2019s ] never more to be glanced at by human eyes . but , then , what reams of other manuscripts - filled [ \u00b7 ] with the thought of inventive brains and the rich effusion of deep hearts - [ have ] gone equally to oblivion\n( hawthorne 46 ; the\nthe film was shot in british columbia on vancouver island , in and around campbell river ( beaverlodge lands\u2014now rockland road and north island college / timberline secondary , lupin falls and myra falls in strathcona provincial park , little oyster river , and white river ) , and in the nova scotia towns of yarmouth and shelburne in 1994 . in shelburne , the waterfront area was substantially altered to resemble a puritan new england town in the mid - 17th century . some of the buildings on dock street retain the grey - tone paint finishes used for the film .\nwelcome to massachusetts , 1666 , where puritans , indians , and adultery come together in roland joffe ' s overlong , overwrought re - interpretation of nathaniel hawthorne ' s classic , the scarlet letter . literary purists will be aghast at some of the liberties taken with the original text , but my complaints have more to do with cinematic misjudgments than with those in the book - to - screen translation . and , believe me , there are plenty of problems with this production without having to resort to a cry of\nit ' s not faithful to the book !\nwell , no ; let ' s talk about demi moore first . the actress was in new york last week to promote her new movie , the scarlet letter , based on the nathaniel hawthorne classic . she has top - billing and looks like she ' s always been hollywood ' s number one , the best - paid actress in tinsel town . her dark hair hangs down like some rare substance found only on other planets . maybe that ' s how she spends her money - buying impossibly exotic hair products at $ 1m a bottle .\nwhen the minister wants to talk to him , he discovers his dead body hanging from the roof of the room . he runs back to town and offers his throat instead of hester ' s , admitting that he is the father of the child . when he is about to be put to death , the indians save him and hester , and a battle between them and the villagers starts . both sides sustain heavy casualties , with no clear winner . later , after visiting hester ' s husband ' s grave , the three leave on a horse - driven buggy after hester abandons her scarlet letter , and pearl , who had been playing with it , drops it on the ground .\n: hard to call , as this works from martin\u2019s novel , which is , by all accounts , pretty good\u2014but the fact that jekyll and hyde are very clearly and obviously the same actual person from minute one of the film can\u2019t be what martin or stevenson envisioned .\nwhether or not you enjoy this hyper - stylized take on the dickens\u2019 coming of age classic is probably mostly a question of taste and / or taste for ethan hawke . it had the most mixed critical reception of any film here , and was helmed by alfonso cuaron , who\u2019s actually made a whole thing out of doing excellent book - to - film translations in\na little princess\nand\nchildren of men .\nset in puritanical boston in the mid 1600s , the story of seamstress hester prynne , who is outcast after she becomes pregnant by a respected reverend . she refuses to divulge the name of the father , is\nconvicted\nof adultery and forced to wear a scarlet\na\nuntil an indian attack unites the puritans and leads to a reevaluation of their laws and morals .\nthe weakest part of the script is the ending . aside from straying significantly from that of the book , the final quarter - hour turns this rather lugubrious melodrama into an action film . someone tuning in late in the proceedings might mistake the finale for a scene from the last of the mohicans . in principle , i don ' t have a problem with changing hawthorne ' s downbeat conclusion , but the result should be more thoughtful than this painfully facile ,\nhollywood - ized\nversion .\nafter refusing to name the father of her child , hester is condemned to wear a scarlet letter on her bodice . her daughter pearl is born , and grows up as a willful little vixen . it is revealed that the father of the child is arthur dimmesdale ( gary oldman ) , leader of the local bluenoses denouncing hester . and then her long - lost husband , roger prynne ( robert duvall ) , turns up , assumes another identity and tries to determine who was the thief of his wife ' s affections . the novel ends with poor dimmesdale confessing his sin , crying out\nhis will be done ! farewell !\nand dying .\nrage , love , defiance , confusion , fear - - moore just sticks out her chin and makes her eyes brim with tears . she ' s the stolidly immovable object at the film ' s center , and there ' s no getting around her .\nit ' s hard to imagine who would dare to pay her less than a man , let alone suggest that $ 12m may be too much .\nthe day that happened to me , when i got that deal , i was really grateful . it changed the business for all women .\nmoore says the fees for a scarlet letter and striptease have set a new standard for female stars that the industry will now have to follow .\ntomorrow , it may be another woman earning more than me , and that ' s ok , because in turn , that feeds back to me .\nin film , the viewer sees a story from the director\u2019s perspective . when experiencing a novel , the reader is drawn into the author\u00e2s story and relates to the characters and events created by the author . he is allowed to bring forth his own imagination to recreate the characters and events by visualizing what the writer describes . he chooses the voice of each character , pictures how the character looks , and brings his own personal experiences forth to enhance the written word . he has an opportunity to be one - on - one with the author , hear his words , and experience for myself the characters\u00e2 emotions .\ninspired by a string of shark attacks along the new jersey coast , peter benchley published jaws in 1974 . through a successful marketing campaign , jaws sold millions of copies and was on the bestseller list for 44 weeks . before the book was published , steven spielberg and richard d . zanuck bought the film rights . universal pictures released jaws in 1975 and shocked the nation . spielberg\u2019s jaws became the first summer blockbuster and forever changed the way we think about the deep - sea .\nwith its dewy - eyed love story , its reverend dimmesdale looking like a goateed college rock star , its fiery \u201daction\u201d climax that pits settlers against noble native americans , the new scarlet letter , \u201dfreely adapted\u201d from hawthorne , is a ponderously overstuffed hollywood package that\u2019s too busy canonizing its heroine to make much sense of her . almost anyone would agree that hester prynne , the original feminist martyr of american literature , suffers to an outrageous degree for her adulterous \u201dcrime . \u201d her punishment , extreme even by puritan standards , can\u2019t help but strike modern audiences as borderline medieval in its cruelty .\nanyway . demi moore looks fa - a - a - a - bulous in this film . love the hair . love the basic black with than chic - but - shocking crimson vowel on the bodice ( as if ms . moore needed to call further attention to her bosom ! ) . she glistens in the bathing scene and cries quite picturesquely . when it comes to acting , though , she seems clueless about hester ' s strength or spirituality . moore is definitely less ( a lot less ) in this film . period work is not her forte .\nthis is barry ' s first song for quite a while , and the wait has been worth it . most songs for films these days are just shameless cash - ins that have nothing to do with the rest of the score . john barry is firmly of the opinion , though , that if a song is written for the film , it should be based around the themes from that film . in fact , it is for this reason that he declined to score tomorrow never dies . it is often stated that the dispute was over money - - but this is false . the producers simply didn ' t want barry to have any involvement at all with the title song , and he refused to work under those conditions . it seems to me like the producers knew nothing at all about the previous scores ; just imagine goldfinger without the wonderful instrumental version of the theme cropping up throughout the score !\ni class swept from the sea - - by some considerable distance - - as the best new film score from a largely - poor year - to - date ( and i don ' t include goldsmith ' s air force one or the edge in that , and i ' ve not yet heard seven years in tibet ) .\ntheodor geisel\u2019s ( also known as dr . seuss ) the cat in the hat is a classic children\u2019s book that has enchanted children since 1957 . the novel\u2019s colorful characters and playful language quickly made the book one of the best - selling children\u2019s books of all time . while various media outlets have adapted the book , the most infamous adaptation was bo welch\u2019s dr . seuss\u2019 the cat in the hat starring mike myers , alec baldwin , and dakota fanning . critics trashed the film and it was nominated for ten razzies , but only won one for \u201cworst excuse for an actual movie\u201d .\nanother question comes up here : to what should a film be faithful then ? \u201eis the filmmaker to be faithful to the plot in its every detail ? , \u201d asks stam . it would lead to \u201ea thirty - hour version of war and peace . \u201d ( 4 ) or should the filmmaker conform to the \u201eintentions\u201d of the author ? according to stam , this path would cause further problems , as\nin 1666 in the massachusetts bay colony , puritans and algonquian have an uneasy truce . hester arrives from england , seeking independence . awaiting her husband , she establishes independence , fixing up a house , befriending quakers and other outsiders . passion draws her to a young pastor . he feels the same ; when they learn her husband has probably died at the hands of indians , they consummate their love . a child is born , and on the day hester is publicly humiliated and made to wear a scarlet letter , her husband appears after a year with indians . calling himself chillingworth , he seeks revenge , searching out hester ' s lover and stirring fears of witchcraft . will his murderous plot succeed ?\nin 1666 in the massachusetts bay colony , puritans and algonquian have an uneasy truce . hester arrives from england , seeking independence . awaiting her husband , she establishes independence , fixing up a house , befriending quakers and other outsiders . passion draws her to a young pastor . he feels the same ; when they learn her husband has probably died at the hands of indians , they consummate their love . a child is born , and on the day hester is publicly humiliated and made to wear a scarlet letter , her husband appears after a year with indians . calling himself chillingworth , he seeks revenge , searching out hester ' s lover and stirring fears of witchcraft . will his murderous plot succeed ? written by\njoffe , who directed the killing fields and the mission , is clearly interested in the conflict between man ' s view of sin and god ' s . this forms the core of the film . is love wrong just because it contravenes certain man - made laws ? themes of guilt , which are so critical to the book , are toned down in the movie , and the character of chillingworth has been reduced from a bitter , betrayed man to a bent , sadistic killer . robert duvall ' s abilities are seriously underused in the role as envisioned by joffe and stewart .\nthe movie axes hawthorne ' s more supernatural elements . the\na\nappearing in the sky , the dangers of the woods , and the notion that the puritans are living in a wild and uncivilized area are all ignored in favor of another , seemingly scarier foe .\n( 12 ) op . cit . , 39 . the term \u201eparatext\u201d is coined by gerard genette , and refers to all the material referring to a given text that is not strictly speaking a part of that very text , only connected to it in some ways , such as preceding it ( trailers , posters , interviews , etc . ) or coming after it ( criticism , memorabilia , etc . ) . for further discussion and on genette\u2019s relevance for film theory , see : robert stam . film theory : an introduction . malden , mass : blackwell , 2000 .\nwhen hester is finally forced to admit that she\u2019s pregnant , she\u2019s jailed until her daughter is born , after which she\u2019s released but forced to wear an embroidered red letter \u201ca\u201d for adultery whenever she goes out in public . all blame would be shifted to the guilty man if she would only reveal his identity , but their secret is well kept .\n( as an aside : david arnold has written a separate song for tomorrow never dies , sung by kd lang , and to be heard over the end credits of the film , and has incorporated this into his underscore . this will probably , in years to come , be viewed as the definitive song from the film by fans , rather than the sheryl crowe opening - title song . another aside : the best use of a song for a main title in recent years is michael kamen ' s\nhave you ever really loved a woman ?\nfrom don juan de marco . he obviously spent an awful lot of time and effort in creating it , and the result is not only an outstanding song , but one based entirely around music from the rest of the score . if you haven ' t already done so , be sure to check it out . )\nthat ' s about all we got because the rest of the book\u2014including its most important themes\u2014get chucked right out the window .\nthus , even though the silent film version par excellence dispenses with the discursive mode of the prose fiction , it nonetheless succeeds in transforming this field of utterance to a visual aspect . instead of verbally insisting on the differences between the moral , ethical , emotional , and social positions of hester and dimmesdale , \u201esj\u00f6str\u00f6m cuts insistently between hester and dimmesdale , the shot - reverse shot alternation establishing firmly the opposition between man and woman , private guilt and public guilt , agitation and composure . \u201d ( 11 ) the tension between the two sides of the dichotomy \u2013 which is ostensibly highly stressed in this adaptation \u2013 is furthermore emphasized by the exaggerated facial expressions and the evidently contrasting bodily postures of the actress and the actor . lillian gish\u2019s hester prynne presents her \u201estar - gaze\u201d ( frontally looking directly into the camera , with a determined , motionless look ) to oppose the pleading , almost crying , helpless look of dimmesdale ."]}

length movie , he eventually left the project , and it evolved into what would become the mortal kombat : legacy web series .\nit\u2019s just funny when \u2014 i think one of the things that a lot of people thought was interesting was that the guy who directed fame : hardcore mortal kombat fan .\nyou remember the awesome\nmortal kombat : rebirth\ntrailer that popped up last year , right ? the live -

dimensional fighting game . mortal kombat the series looks to rectify that .\nmatt mullins : i have beed doing motion capture for the last 10 years . tao fang was my first game ( created by john tobisas who created mortal kombat ) and i have been doing it ever since . i just finished 2 games i can\u2019t mention yet .\nknew if he was going to get a chance at a genre picture , he\u2019d have to show he could do it on his own . this is a calling card for a chance at making the next mortal kombat feature film and it\u2019s his vision for how he\u2019d do it .\nthe short - film features an alternate version of the mortal kombat universe . the characters of the game are portrayed with vastly different origins , founded in realism . there is no mention of outworld or any other supernatural element , although the tournament itself is a main part of the storyline .\nthe times reports that warner bros . and new line executives are hoping the movie arrives timed along with a new installment of the mortal kombat game . it specifically mentions the prospect of launching the movie at the same time the game debuts or including the movie and game together in a blu - ray or dvd bundles .\nwritten by kevin tancharoen , aaron helbing and todd helbing , and available online this spring from warner bros . digital distribution , the \u201cmortal kombat\u201d digital new media series is an anthology of multiple live action shorts . each episode will provide never - before - revealed insights into characters featured in the upcoming videogame as well as the game\u2019s universe .\nkt : i would definitely have them . the thing about the first film was that it had to be tamed down so much for the audience . there\u2019s a part of me that understand that , but then there\u2019s a huge part of me that\u2019s like \u201cguys , mortal kombat was very popular for very specific reasons . \u201d i was so angry when they came out with the super nintendo version of mortal kombat and the blood was gone . it was like sweat and sand and i was really pissed off . and then they came out with a cheat where you can turn the sweat red . it still wasn\u2019t the mortal kombat that i wanted . in the arcades , we would all cheer when someone actually knew how to do a fatality . so i would want to incorporate a good amount . not over the top , where it feels like we\u2019re just doing it for shock value . but i think sub - zero has a great fatality . i think scorpion has a great fatality and i think kano has a great fatality . these are all the original . i would go back to mortal kombat 1 , 2 , and 3 , and adhere to those fatalities . because those are the ones that i feel everyone kind of remembers , and really has a nostalgic value to them . i would incorporate them in the tournament aspect in a very organic way .\nmatt mullins : i think this new vision has a very fresh look at the franchise and brings it the movie back to the gritty and violent nature that made mortal kombat game so popular . kevin is very passionate about the project ( as the rest of us are ) and this short is only a taste of things to come . craveonline : are you a gamer yourself ?\nmatt mullins : i am a gamer . i have been loving rpgs ( chrono trigger favorite game of all time ) since i was a kid and i was an avid mortal kombat and street fighter player in my teens . i have been a huge fan of dead space and the uncharted series in past months . craveonline : how else are you involved in the gaming industry ?\noriginally brought to the big screen by paul w . s . anderson in 1995 ( a less successful sequel followed in 1998 ) , the mortal kombat video game has been spurring more interest for the last few years as talk of a reboot movie has grown . the project is slowly coming together with ads director simon mcquoid entering talks to direct the new , currently untitled film .\non jan . 14 , 2011 , it was announced that an official 9 - episode web mini - series called mortal kombat : legacy based on the short also directed by tancharoen and michael jai white had been greenlit by warner bros . shooting is scheduled to begin in vancouver on february . [ 14 ] [ 15 ] wb is allowing a 9 episode show based off the video . [ 16 ]\nmatt mullins : it has been really cool to see all of the buzz about the short . the truth is , the short is about showing a vision of what the next mortal kombat movie can be . i think it is a very well thought out concept that pays homage to the video game and its fans . the attention to detail and the little elements added will set this film apart from all the other films .\nthe first mortal kombat film , released in 1995 , doesn\u2019t age well , but it\u2019s still one of the better video game adaptations . the special effects were great for the time , and it perfectly balanced the nonsensical plot of the games with an over - the - top and enthusiastic tone . it might not have been \u201cgood\u201d in a traditional sense , but it was fun , had memorable performances , paid tribute to the property it adapted .\nseries creator ed boon himself has noted that the film was\nawesome\n[ 10 ] and had\nno idea it was being made ,\n[ 11 ] though he did note that\nprobably crosses the line\nas far as\nre - imagining\ngoes . [ 12 ] he later stated that he thought it was\nincredibly well done\nand that it was\na legitimate alternate universe mortal kombat .\n[ 13 ]\nobviously mortal kombat , the original game , had limited characters . and as the sequels kept going , they kept on adding more and more characters . do you see yourself \u2014 say you were able to make the movie . and also , with the short that you did , was there a purposeful choosing of the characters that you got ? and where\u2019s the line , if you did make a movie , between the realistic characters and the almost fantasy characters .\nmichael jai white as jackson briggs , a captain in the deacon city police department . on his office door at the beginning of the film , the last two letters of his first name are faded , thus reading as\njacks\n, a nod to\njax\n. ign contacted michael jai white ' s representatives and asked about the video , and they answered white believed the shoot was a marketing component for mortal kombat ( 2011 ) . [ 2 ]\nkt : oh , yeah . definitely , this is my take on what i would want to do with mortal kombat . i would love it if warner bros . wanted to do it this way . but i was so passionate about doing this , that i just had to pick up the camera and do it . now like i said , because i am such a fan of the mortal kombat series , i know there\u2019s a lot of concern about the mysticism and the special powers and all that kind of stuff . well , like i said , this is really designed \u2014 the short so far is really designed like a prologue to the movie . now , in a movie version , i am going to have that mysticism there , but it has to be done in a very tasteful way . i wouldn\u2019t like it too campy or too cheesy . i know this is a weird analogy , but it\u2019s the best one i can think of right now . it\u2019s kind of like when in harry potter , there\u2019s two universes that coexist with each other . there\u2019s the real world , and then you get on the train and then you go to hogwart\u2019s , and that\u2019s where all the magic is . it was actually kind of similar in the first mortal kombat , too . they had to get on the ship and go to the island , and that\u2019s where all the crazy stuff happened .\nwhat can i say , it looks interesting , but twisting the whole story line towards a more\nrealistic\napproach is a retarded idea . mortal kombat is meant to be far fetched . . with thunder gods and mutants . . coming up with doctors gone made ( who are martial artists ofc ) etc wont work . they tried it with that god awful street fighter movie , and it will not work with this one either . the 1st mortal kombat movie almost had it right , but still kinda failed as they made it cheesy with a poor plot . x - men 1 & 2 is a fine example where they got it right , although a little far fetched it was still believable while being easy to follow . you can make a movie with gods , mutants and assassins without trying to make it\nreal life\nas this trailer attempts , and in my opinion fails . + 4 stars for the effort - 6 for the idea\nthough there is no guarantee that these actors will play the characters in a feature film version or even that a feature film will actually happen , the short is already a huge success online , with the word \u201ckombat\u201d already a trending topic on twitter .\nthis is the style of saw meeting the action of any good martial arts film , no cheesy one liners gr8 cast for a short . r - rated how the mortal kombat ' s should have been from the start . characters based on madness and high power influence not supernatural and other dimensions crap , in a modern day city that is over run by crime and most likely corruption . even though only being a short i can picture in my mind so much more from this film . any film company to see this short , and not turn it into a feature length movie which would almost certainly make it ' s money back and more , are stupid in my eye ' s . a good video game turn movie is hard to come by now a days this movie could bring life to an old franchise and breathe new life into old characters and bring new hope for all the fans who want to see a decent mk movie . here ' s hoping for a new mortal kombat tournament fight ! fatality !\nwhen word got out it was directed by kevin tancharoen ( fame ) , i was kind of stunned . after all , who would have thought the guy who made fame would have directed an awesome mortal kombat short . thankfully , i had tancharoen\u2019s email and reached out to see if he wanted to talk about how the short came together and why he wanted to make it . if you\u2019d like to know a lot more , hit the jump to either read or listen to our interview . i\u2019ve also included some highlights as bullet points :\nkt : one hundred percent . he\u2019s jax briggs . he\u2019s the detective from the real world . and that\u2019s actually part of the story of the original mortal kombat . he\u2019s part of a special unit that deals with the outworld program . i think having a grounded character in the mix here is very important . that\u2019s why i had sonya and jax be such important characters in the short film . because if i were to ever do a feature version of it , i do feel like their presence is extremely valuable to be thrust into that world .\ninitially appearing on youtube , the video was received with confusion by websites such as ign and urltoken , both of which were uncertain if the video was a viral marketing ploy to promote either a new film or a video game . contradicting reports came from the actors involved , with white ' s representatives believing it was an advertisement for an upcoming mortal kombat game , [ 7 ] while ryan admitted her appearance was as a favor to a friend and described the video as a pitch for a film . [ 8 ] tancharoen made the movie for $ 7 , 500 . [ 9 ]\ni may be 17 but i am a big fan of mortal kombat , loved the games and then liked the films , however i must say that you guys need to stop looking at this film as a remake , look at it as a brand new film . the concept is great , having the same old storyline would just be too boring and predictable whereas by bringing in a whole new concept for the film they are able to play with the storyline a lot more . and about the whole fantasy element , i would like to see a slight fantasy element but not as much as in the previous films or the games as that is too much fantasy , but the trailer doesn ' t mention any fantasy but then again it doesn ' t mention lack of a fantasy element , you really cant be sure unless someone actually does make a full film out of it . they chose a great actor for the role of jax as he is so bad ass . and as for the other characters i think i would enjoy watching the film and trying to figure out who is who before you are told , it would be interesting to see how the characters came to be . so again look at this as a brand new film , a\nrebirth\nof the film ; )\nyou need to watch this movie . even if you\u2019re not a fan of the mortal komat franchise . it\u2019s less than 8 minutes long and even still includes an incredbile fight scene and introduces a couple of characters that are simply awesome . if you\u2019re a fan of the franchise you\u2019re going to be super bummed that this was never made into a feature film . strong recommend .\ni liked the short movie very much ! i liked the idea of\ndark\nand it seemed like a very good idea to bring the fantasy in the every day life like baracka and reptile being humans . but what i didn ' t like is some characters not being preserved to their physical aspect . i mean what the hell was baraka doing with dreads it looked more like kabal rather then baraka . michael jay white as jax seems perfect for the role but i wish they don ' t rush into this movie because it would be a pity to ruin such a great idea as mortal kombat . nowdays movies are based more on the special effects then on the story line and acting performances . maybe someone will read our reviews and take them to consideration .\nthis is a really interesting take on mortal kombat , shockingly violent ( sort of like the first game was when it was released ) and dark . i ' ll admit that the person who showed this to me led me to believe that it was a preview for a film . . . and i am glad that it isn ' t . the short is built around the idea of a dark sinister ' real ' mk world , where some of your favorite characters are twisted mass murderers instead of otherworldly villains . while this idea is certainly less blood curdling than another ' mk annihilation ' catastrophe , it still worries me . those who have played and followed mk from early on are familiar with the quirky over the top antics of the games . the unrealistic melodrama which is , to me , one of the franchises ' best selling points . one never has to worry about anything being taken seriously because , lets face it , the mk series is loony tunes with martial arts characters and buckets of gore . this new idea take seems to try and completely discard that ( with the exception of jax saying ' finish him ' ) and replace it with a real spin . . . . that ' s fine , except that , i ' m supposed to believe all the things i ' m being told about these people from a foxy detective named ' sonya blade . ' i don ' t think there would be anyway to sell a mk film as a ' real world ' thriller and not make stomachs churn without totally revamping everything that makes it mortal kombat . don ' t get me wrong , the short is well made as a piece of film , and the idea is interesting and new , but , as an mk fan , it wouldn ' t impress me as a film , and i don ' t think it would impress objective outsiders as a straight thriller .\nyes there are realistic elements here , but most negative comments mentioned are purely assumption . there wasn ' t anything said about no super natural elements being added at all , nor is shang tsung said to be some mob boss . ever considered that an earth realm cover ? of course you haven ' t . the additions of realistic elements makes the concept so much more intense , more relatable , and likely the fantasy elements is what contributing to making the former movies so lame . this is an amazing concept ( and considering it ' s less than 10 minutes , there isn ' t much too assume here ) , that makes mortal kombat in any film form return to it ' s gory , intense roots . whatever they need to do to actually make a crazy , violent mk , is fine by me . i cannot wait for the web series to come out , then when that hits it off , somebody get ' s the balls to actually make a kick ass movie from this ( or maybe a starz or hbo series similar to sparticus , minus the lame roman stuff ) . oh and by the way for you slow people , i guess you didn ' t notice that\nscorpion\nhad no eyes in this ? most likely not .\ni like the fact that it is\ndark\nand has some reality feel to it but this is mortal kombat ! ! ! ! what the heck was boon tobias thinking about ? i know he is shitting his pants right now ! reptile , scorpion and baraka as humans ? ! i almost cried when i saw that video . it is far from being mk and they have just destroyed the history of it . i will not see this movie when it comes out , just too disappointed ! ! wow . . . terrible terrible terrible . i wish that they would stop putting out video games or cartoons into movies , unless your going to keep it original and put a lot , a lot of effort into it so loyalist would be satisfied ! ! ! dragonball was terrible , the first mk was ok , the second was garbage , street fighter was ok but nobody seems to know how to mix reality with fantasy ! they could of kept the concept of\ndark\nand reality , such as jax being a pc and sonya a cop but trying to humanize the other characters is a sin . they should of let the production team of whoever makes the marvel movies make mk or let robert rodriguez and quentin tarrantino put there sin city spin on it ; that would of been awesome !\nkt : listen , scorpion is the bad guy and will stay a bad guy . his motives are personal . it\u2019s not to help out anybody . it\u2019s to get sub - zero . if jax and sonya can coattail off of that revenge , awesome . but scorpion does not care . he\u2019s going after one thing , and one thing only . and i personally love that . i don\u2019t want to see scorpion go soft . do i think scorpion can be flawed ? absolutely . there\u2019s no such thing as an interesting character that\u2019s just one dimensional . i love it when the bad guy is at the forefront because you\u2019re able to tell so many different stories that are not so conventional . and i love that . i really do . i think there\u2019s a lot of that kind of style of storytelling , i personally only see in korea . i would love to see that kind of new main character be told here . i obviously respond to movies like a bittersweet life and oldboy where this guy has one motive . it\u2019s very clear , and he goes after it . and it\u2019s never wholesome . but for some reason you\u2019re very engaged in his cause , and that\u2019s exactly what i would hope to achieve with scorpion , because i think he\u2019s such a cool character , a really cool character . him and sub - zero are both , to me , will be the main mortal kombat icons .\nwe ' re not exactly sure where this video came from . is it warner bros . viral marketing plan for the new game ?

levels of dialogue , like jennifer lopez referring to cunnilingus as \u201cit\u2019s turkey time , gobble gobble . \u201d but the most shocking thing about tulip fever is that it\u2019s\u2026 fine . in fact , if you love messy costume dramas with insane soap opera twists then you are definitely going to love tulip fever .\ntulip fever rated r ( under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian ) . propagation , copulation . running time : 1 hour 45 minutes .\n\u201csoon to be a major motion picture , \u201d says the cover of the novel \u201ctulip fever . \u201d someone may need to define \u201csoon . \u201d\nthe film is set in netherlands in the early 17th century , during the period known as tulip mania , when single bulbs would sell for enormous sums . in tulip fever , the two young lovers decide to invest in the risky tulip market in order to build a future together .\njack o\u2019connell , who will join alicia vikander , christoph waltz , dane dehaan and holliday grainger in director justin chadwick\u2019s film of deborah moggach\u2019s novel tulip fever .\nit\u2019s not that tulip fever is incompetently made or unpleasant to look at or offensive in any way . it\u2019s just that it is very , very boring .\nfilm fans are continuing to be kept in suspense as to when norwich cathedral\u2019s starring role will be revealed on the big screen in the movie tulip fever .\nstill pre - ex machina when filming for tulip fever ended , vikander had yet to solidify herself as a hollywood commodity . several months after she left the fever set , production began on tom hooper\u2019s the danish girl , which would wrap , release , and win vikander her first academy award in the best supporting actress category well over a year before tulip fever would see the light of day .\nyes , if his hectic touring schedule allows as he reportedly turned down a role in producer harvey weinstein\u2019s movie tulip fever because he simply didn\u2019t have the time .\nlike many complex novels crammed into 100 -

cut camps . if early reviews for tulip fever are any indication , the gap could be bridged by near universal disdain for the film .\nforget fever - - this floral - scented fiasco is so lifeless you can barely feel a pulse .\ntulip fever is a pretty picture , and it effectively transports you back in time , but once you are there you ' ll be headed to the exit before you can even smell the tulips .\nhas there ever been a film as enjoyably cursed as tulip fever ? a period romance about a painter and his married muse who try to play the tulip market , tulip fever at least had an auspicious debut : dreamworks optioned the 2000 novel by deborah moggach at the proof stage , long before it would become a best seller , and some of the biggest names in hollywood flirted with adapting it . four years later , tulip fever nearly got off the ground with jude law and keira knightley starring and shakespeare in love director john madden at the helm , but shortly after planting 12 , 000 tulip bulbs at the start of production , the british government closed a critical tax loophole that blew up the budget , closed down the film , and left all those poor little tulips to wither .\nto paraphrase bill murray \u2019s famous line from \u201c tootsie , \u201d the long - delayed \u201ctulip fever\u201d is one nutty 17th century melodrama . it offers curious viewers a very horny , \u201c titanic \u201d - esque forbidden romance , a subplot involving someone pretending to be pregnant for nine months , and then juxtaposes that with in - depth sequences about the tulip trade in 1600s amsterdam . there are numerous , ridiculous twists that \u201ctulip fever\u201d delivers with a completely straight face , and it ' s all dressed up with a moody not your usual period film look . but \u201ctulip fever\u201d reveals itself to be so nutty because it explicitly believes it\u2019s not crazy , rambling through its odd events and obsessions without an ounce of 17th century kitsch .\nberlin - - two - time oscar winner christoph waltz is preparing for a trip to the u . k . to star in tulip fever , the long - gestating passion project from british producer alison owen .\nscenes for the film tulip fever were shot at norwich cathedral and holkham beach in june 2014 and the locations can clearly be seen in the first trailer of the film which has an all - star cast .\nat the same time as filming took place in norfolk for tulip fever , scenes for the avengers : age of ultron were shot at the sainsbury centre for visual arts at the university of east anglia campus .\nstill , all those last - minute delays for tulip fever started to make it into an ongoing industry joke : in addition to death and taxes , you could count on tulip fever to never actually come out . sure enough , mere days before the february 24 , 2017 release date , the weinsteins made like lucy with charlie brown\u2019s football and yanked tulip fever off the calendar yet again . at this point , the poor little unloved film had become infamous . \u201ci saw a screening of tulip fever two years ago , \u201d wrote journalist karen han , \u201cand i still have a hard time believing it . \u201d after word broke that the weinsteins were test - screening one more retooled version of the film in may , awards watch\u2019s erik anderson tweeted , \u201cfirst test screening was november \u2026 2014 . i think it\u2019s fair to call time of death . \u201d\nsure , valerian was a domestic flop , but luc besson\u2019s sci - fi epic reunited tulip fever costars dehaan and delevingne for an intensive , effects - heavy shoot on a budget of approximately $ 175 million , making it the most expensive french film ever made . and still , the project was cast , filmed throughout 2016 , post - produced , and released ( on july 21 of this year ) before tulip fever hit screens .\nhowever , dehaan is just too darn hot , and may have to turn down tulip fever because it clashes with a film called life , in which he will portray james dean in the last months of his life .\nperhaps attempting to prophesy tulip fever \u2018s likely box office performance ( she is a divine entity with mystic foresight ) , madonna took a nasty fall on the set of the brit awards on feb . 25 , 2015 .\ntwitter and facebook have given everyone the power to be armchair critics , and they\u2019ve been using it to playfully smack around \u201ctulip fever . \u201d but to be fair , there are many reasons a movie\u2019s release date gets moved .\nthe pair hit on the idea of investing in tulip trading to give them the funds to run away .\nset in 17th century amsterdam , tulip fever follows a married woman ( alicia vikander ) who begins a passionate affair with an artist ( dane dehaan ) hired to paint her portrait . the lovers gamble on the booming market for tulip bulbs as a way to raise money to run away together . the official version from urltoken on april 29 , 2016\nthe reasons for tulip fever \u2019s delay are myriad , and for the most part unknowable ; as one source familiar with the situation pointed out , ask five different people about why a film has been delayed and you\u2019ll get five different answers . the one person who likely knows for sure is harvey weinstein , who first teamed up with steven spielberg\u2019s dreamworks to make the film back in 2002 , and has been driving the tulip fever train since\u2014down to the multiple release date switches .\nthe second delayed release date for \u201ctulip fever\u201d shouldn\u2019t come as a huge surprise , given the lack of promotion surrounding the film\u2019s opening . twc\u2019s official twitter account for the movie tweeted just three times , all of which took place last april .\nalicia , who won recognition for her performances in the films a royal affair and joe wright\u2019s under - appreciated anna karenina , is in the final stages of negotiations to play the lead in the much delayed screen version of deborah moggach\u2019s novel tulip fever .\ntulip fever is based on the novel by deborah moggach , who also penned the best exotic marigold hotel , and it tells the story of a young married woman , sophia , who has a passionate affair with an artist commissioned by her husband to paint her portrait .\nmany of the movies released in this grim hollywood summer have had tough roads on their way to opening , but no saga has been quite as convoluted as the one surrounding tulip fever , which opens in theaters at last on friday\u2014nearly two decades after the film rights to the british novel upon which it is based became a hot commodity . eventually filmed in 2014 , test - screened later that year , and then shuffled around the release schedule at least three times , tulip fever began to get attention not for its starry cast , or prestigious literary source material , but distinct vibe of being unwanted . as kyle buchanan wrote in new york magazine earlier this month , when the film\u2019s release had been once again pushed back by a week , \u201chas there ever been a film as enjoyably cursed as tulip fever ? \u201d\nbut chadwick\u2019s strong grasp on visual tone doesn\u2019t benefit the narrative . \u201ctulip fever\u201d eventually hurls itself into a semi - amusing void of feeling like it came from another planet , one where everyone is too crazy of a romantic for their own good , and tulips are god . is this story a sexy , star - crossed romance ? a cruel tragedy about really dumb people ? a very , very dry comedy ? it is all plausible with \u201ctulip fever . \u201d but however you want to engage it , the film wilts right before your eyes .\nthe star turns \u2014 including one from zach galifianakis as the sort of drunk you do not want to entrust with your nest egg \u2014 stave off boredom , but the most disappointing thing about the end to the speculative bubble surrounding \u201ctulip fever\u201d is that there isn\u2019t much there .\nin amsterdam during the 1630s , fortunes were made and lost speculating on tulips . while comparisons are often made between the \u201ctulip crash\u201d of 1637 and the stock market\u2019s plunge in 1929 , reading a fictional account of the craze was quite informative . but while i loved the unique setting and enjoyed all the factoids i learned , in the end i was disappointted to find that tulip fever was just another adultery story .\nyou are now back on a project called tulip fever . in 2004 , you wrote a passionate editorial piece in the telegraph called \u2018the tax man killed my movie\u2019 about the fraught history when this was in development with dreamworks . could you bear to tell us a little about that ?\nin june 2014 tulip fever began filming on location at norwich cathedral and i was lucky enough to be right there in the thick of it , marshalling the public , going out on food runs and communicating with the crew over radio like i was on some kind of covert mission .\nbut tulip fever seems special even by that yardstick . it\u2019s a film that , more likely than not , was never anything more than ordinary\u2014an oscar player that missed the mark , hardly an unusual phenomenon in any given year . but all this fuss over its mysterious release has turned it into a genuine curio , the kind of potential camp - fest that will be remembered for years simply because of the circumstances of its production . we\u2019ll finally know how good , or bad , tulip fever is on friday . but the real thrill for this one has been in the wait .\nso when i tell you that just this week , the weinstein company pushed tulip fever from a limited release on august 25 to a wide release on september 1 , i don\u2019t know whether that means you should reserve your ticket , laugh in my face , or both . i know i was amused to find out that after years of showing the film to journalists and then suddenly pulling it back , the weinsteins have now set a review embargo that will elapse the afternoon of september 1 , well after the movie is alleged to start playing for general audiences . but who knows if it actually will ? a perverse part of me hopes the cycle will still continue , with contrite ushers entering the theater just as those initial tulip fever matinees begin . why let tulip fever come out and be forgettable when it could slip away yet again and be the stuff of legend ?\nthe unique setting of tulip fever is very interesting . amsterdam and its citizens are brought to life in vivid detail . but while there is plenty of history , it never overwhelms the story . in fact , i would have liked hearing even more about tulip speculation . i can understand why people would speculate about the future of gold or food products , but it\u2019s a little hard to understand exactly why tulips were so expensive .\nit\u2019s unclear if \u201ctulip fever\u201d is worth watching . a theater aficionado who saw a rare early screening reports a few giggle - worthy moments , including waltz\u2019s character asking his bride for a hand because \u201cmy little soldier is drowsy tonight\u201d and the incongruous sight of hipster comedian zach galifianakis in period dress .\nan artist falls for a young married woman while he ' s commissioned to paint her portrait during the tulip mania of 17th century amsterdam .\ndane dehaan , who is in talks about starring with alicia vikander in the film version of another deborah moggach novel , tulip fever , to be directed by justin chadwick ( who helped idris elba deliver the best performance of his career as nelson mandela in mandela : the long walk to freedom ) .\nso i went to cape town to do this movie called the giver which is not something i developed but something that needed some sorting out which was tempting to me . so i did that and then by that time we were coming up to unofficial pre - production on suffragette so we locked ourselves to that and then we lost all the money on suffragette because focus got closed at universal so we had to re - finance it with path\u00e9 meanwhile we\u2019d got justin on to direct tulip fever so we knew we were heading towards tulip fever which will start shooting may 15th and i\u2019ve usually got something i\u2019m developing .\nnot for the reasons harvey weinstein wants you to love it , however . in a weird -

out productions in recent film memory\u2014but so many questions remain . what happened to tulip fever along the way , to transmogrify it from high - end awards contender to a studio\u2019s secret shame ? and will the fuss around its delayed release actually help in drawing eyeballs to a movie that might otherwise have been dismissed as a staid costume drama ?\nlewis donated the one existing print to the library of congress in 2015 , stipulating that it not be exhibited before june 2024 . should the institution duly unveil it then , ending decades of feverish speculation as to just how bad it can possibly be , a margaret -

century amsterdam between sophie , the wife of an ageing flower merchant , and the young artist employed to paint her \u2013 all set against the weird mania for tulips that gripped holland in the 1730s .\ntiming is everything . that\u2019s the takeaway , both on -

servant relationships , and the role of art in the world .\nthe weinstein company has again changed the release date \u2014 and this time , the theater strategy \u2014 for its period drama \u201c tulip fever . \u201d after locking a limited release date of friday , august 25 earlier this summer , the film will now open wide one week later , on friday , september 1 . the company announced on wednesday that the film will now hit theaters the first week of september .\nfor tulip fever , the tulip market becomes a metaphor for the uncertainty of love and sex , for the rush of investing all of your emotional energies in one person , and then the overwhelming crash when the relationship ends and all of the futures you imagined together are destroyed . ( \u201cwe just need to put all our eggs in one basket ! \u201d cries jan feverishly , referring either to investment strategy or babies , who knows . ) and while sex and money are both dramatically heady themes , it\u2019s hard to remain all that interested in either when they\u2019re presented as bloodlessly as they are here .\nsuper - producer harvey weinstein\u2019s long - delayed period piece about a tulip war , an affair , and a fake pregnancy has finally hit theaters . and it is\u2026 something . [ warning : spoilers ]\nlet\u2019s take it back to the summer of 2014 : it was a simpler time , when democrats controlled the senate and lemonade was still just a refreshing beverage . it was also a season that would birth one of the most epic clusterf\u2014s in movie marketing history , when director justin chadwick and then - burgeoning stars alicia vikander , cara delevingne , and dane dehaan set out to make a little period drama called tulip fever .\nthe decision to push \u201ctulip fever\u201d comes after a tough year for virtually all independent distributors in the theatrical marketplace , including twc . the company saw its 2016 films generate around $ 15 million in combined u . s . box office grosses . its total from 2016 , including grosses from prior years , was $ 64 million . from 2010 to 2015 , the company topped $ 200 million every year at the domestic box office .\nas the contemplative and frozen sophia , vikander channels the presence she had in \u201c ex machina \u201d where she played an android understanding her actions and wanting to break free . it\u2019s a sincere performance as someone trying to find happiness , and makes you realize how perfect she\u2019d be in the domestic imprisonment of a douglas sirk - style drama ( which \u201ctulip fever\u201d tries to be the 17th century version of , in a way ) .\nwith the film now playing in theaters nationwide , let\u2019s reflect on those bygone days , when beyonc\u00e9 ( the album ) was a mere nine months old , amy pascal\u2019s emails were still private , and hillary clinton\u2019s presidential campaign was but a hurricane of brainstorming texts sent to huma abedin\u2019s iphone 5s . here\u2019s a list of notable cultural happenings that have shocked , awed , and everything - in - betweened since tulip fever began filming .\nowen says the delays boiled down to coordinating talent schedules for publicity commitments , and weinstein\u2019s desire to give tulip fever the right release date . \u201charvey shared this passion with me for a long time , \u201d owen said . \u201che wanted to give it the right release . he\u2019s a man of his word . if he wants to do something then he\u2019s less inclined to care about what interpretation people are going to put on that action . \u201d\nplenty of movies fit that description \u2014 and considering the hoopla , the most disappointing thing about \u201ctulip fever , \u201d directed by justin chadwick ( \u201cthe other boleyn girl\u201d ) and set in 17th - century amsterdam , is that it\u2019s neither a secret masterpiece nor a laughable disaster . true , there is the scene in which jan ( dane dehaan ) , the hunky portraitist having an affair with sophia ( alicia vikander ) , the unhappily married wife of a merchant , explains to her that the key to their escape is to bet big in the dutch tulip market . \u201call we have to do is put all our eggs in one basket , \u201d he says .\nthe movie , which is actually set in 17th century amsterdam during the height of tulip mania , is based on the novel of the same name by deborah moggach , who also penned the best exotic marigold hotel .\nfor all involved , the tulip market appears to be the answer . the 17th - century dutch tulip craze created one of the first futures markets , a bubble in which the price of tulips seemed guaranteed to rise and rise and rise immeasurably . if you get in on a bulb early enough , the lovers reason , your investment is certain to double itself within a month \u2014 until , all of a sudden , it doesn\u2019t .\nin 2016 , the weinstein company announced a summer release date , july 15 , which at least indicated that tulip fever was no longer the awards - season hope it had once been conceived as . even that plan couldn\u2019t stick , though : the week before release , tulip fever was ignominiously shoved off to february 24 , 2017 . rumors had been flying over the quality of the film and the health of the weinstein company in general \u2014 after a tough 2015 winter quarter where the company was hit with layoffs and had a string of underperforming titles , the studio had started offloading shelved movies like the michelle williams drama suite francaise to lifetime , rather than put them through a costly theatrical release . and the weinsteins were no strangers to sitting on a movie well past its expiration date : the studio infamously shelved the john cusack film shanghai for five years , releasing it in 2015 , well after cusack\u2019s star power had waned .\ngrainger isn\u2019t the main character , but she takes over the movie , as we wait for her shanghaied baby daddy to reappear and clear up the lunacy that overtakes \u201ctulip fever\u201d in its second half . what began as a respectable , if somewhat flat 17th - century love story , complete with gorgeous costumes and lush score , seems to lose its wits as it goes along \u2014 which may have been the mindset of the era , but feels like a miscalculated opportunity here .\nthe star - studded movie , which is actually set in 17th century amsterdam during the height of tulip mania , is based on the novel of the same name by deborah moggach , who penned the best exotic marigold hotel .\nupdated with new release date : tulip fever , the 17th century period romance starring oscar winners alicia vikander , christoph waltz , and judi dench will now open september 1 nationwide . it marks the fourth release - date chance for the pic directed by justin chadwick : initially , the movie was scheduled for july 15 , 2016 , before distributor the weinstein company announced a week before that date it would move to february 24 . soon before that date the pic was shifted to august 25 .\ntulip fever initially stoked awards buzz after its cannes sneak peek , thanks to its elaborate costumes and high - profile talent . but critical reviews are heading south ( the film stands at a 37 on metacritic ) , and the film academy has shifted so far away from tradition in recent years thanks to a series of diversity initiatives that it\u2019s difficult to imagine a traditional period picture being received with such enthusiasm , even if its trajectory hadn\u2019t ultimately been defined by its distribution - based woes .\nthere\u2019s no way around reviewing \u201ctulip fever\u201d without noting that the movie has been buried deeper than a tulip bulb . the vulture writer kyle buchanan has already provided a rundown of the substantial delays in the film\u2019s release , which \u2014 for a project once regarded as an oscar contender \u2014 might be taken as a sign of an odor other than floral . this week , harvey weinstein , the co - chairman of the weinstein company , the film\u2019s distributor , took the extraordinary step of defending the movie in advance with a column for deadline hollywood , though it is laced with passive - aggressive barbs like \u201ci know this film\u2019s not perfect , very few are , but it\u2019s a perfectly good time in a movie theater . \u201d\ncall it the tulip fever cycle : every time this movie is ready to bloom , someone comes along to sow the crop with salt . it took nearly a decade more for a director and cast to finally stick , but in 2013 , producer harvey weinstein and director justin chadwick ( the other boleyn girl ) set dane dehaan and alicia vikander to play the movie\u2019s leads . in the middle of 2014 , they filmed it , and by the end of that year , they had a cut ready .\nit\u2019s the story of a 17th - century love affair in amsterdam , set against the backdrop of tulipmania , when the bottom fell out of the lucrative tulip market ( during which a single bulb could be worth flower tubs of money ) .\nin order to cover the expenses they have incurred in hiring a doctor willing to lie and cover up their deception , as well as money they will need to set up a new lives for them selves , jan and sophia get involved in the tulip trade . at the time in amsterdam , tulip bulbs were trading for astronomical amounts of money . jan begins dabbling in the market . at the beginning of his small tulip business , he is successful . feeling as if they are indestructible , jan and sophia decide to cash in all of their assets and borrow money to purchase a semper augustus bulb , the most valuable of the tulip bulbs . circumstances cause jan to send his simpleminded servant , gerrit , to pick up the bulb . gerrit botches the job and returns to jan empty handed . not only do jan and sophia not have they money they need to pay off their creditors , they do not have the money they need to leave the country .\nultimately , tulip fever is populated with cardboard cutouts of characters who fall in and out of love without exchanging a word because how else will the plot move , and who casually destroy each other\u2019s lives because the movie has to end sometime . it\u2019s not interested in emotions or personalities , but in how relationships work when they\u2019re viewed as cold - blooded economic exercises . it\u2019s almost a sort of aesthetic experiment : what happens when you tell a love story as a story about the rise and fall of speculative markets ?\nthe words \u201ctulip fever\u201d are likely to become industry shorthand for the once - promising , high profile project that somehow hits a wall between completion and release , though it\u2019s far from the first example . remember serena ? you\u2019re forgiven if you don\u2019t . the misbegotten depression - era melodrama starred bradley cooper and jennifer lawrence , and was shot by the oscar - winning danish film - maker susanne bier months before silver linings playbook made a mint from that particular star combo in 2012 , winning lawrence an oscar in the process .\nin 2013 , when she dropped her self - titled album without any prior warning , beyonc\u00e9 helped usher in a new era of promotional tactics in the music industry , her name becoming a verb synonymous with surprise releases . she was likely hard at work on the album\u2019s follow - up , lemonade , while vikander and company filmed , ultimately unveiling the lp , a companion film , and a new era in her career , on april 23 , 2016 \u2014 long before weinstein locked in a confirmed release date for tulip fever .\nthis also doesn\u2019t include other characters , who have their own appearances that make \u201ctulip fever\u201d even stranger . tom hollander plays a creepy but genuinely helpful obgyn named dr . sorgh ; zach galifianakis is jan\u2019s sidekick , expressly used for glaring comedic beats about his character being clueless or drunk ; even judi dench appears in this movie as a nun who manages the orphanage that provided sophia and now grows flowers . keeping in check with this film ' s strange way of using people , dench is hardly on screen despite giving an emblematically stoic performance .\ntiming is everything . that\u2019s the takeaway , both on - screen and off , from \u201c tulip fever , \u201d a well - bred , if tawdry period drama set in amsterdam at the height of tulipmania , in 1637 , when prized bulbs might fetch more than the value of a house . it was an economic bubble , of course ( although the term would not be coined for nearly another century , with the so - called british south seas bubble ) , and fortunes were made and lost according to when investors entered the market .\nan affair between a man and a woman in 17th century holland , during a period where tulip bulbs became hot trading items , with a single bulb selling for as much as ten times the average annual salary . but his participation will depend on scheduling with\nhere was a time , way back in the simpler , more innocent mists of the early 2000s , when tulip fever was a very hot hollywood property . deborah moggach\u2019s bestselling novel , a historical romance set in 17th - century amsterdam , put dollar signs and golden statuettes in the eyes of producers seeking a period hit in the vein of shakespeare in love . tom stoppard , that film\u2019s oscar - winning screenwriter , did the adaptation ; jude law and keira knightley were cast , only for the uk government to seal off the tax loophole enabling its funding .\nit\u2019s easy for some writers to focus on a delay and be snarky , and that\u2019s fine because snarky can be entertaining . but as a result , we decided to do something different \u2014 we decided to test the film with novelists who didn\u2019t know about the post - production story of tulip fever , and we were more than vindicated with their positive reactions . philippa gregory ( the other boleyn girl ) said it was \u201cbeautifully filmed with a stellar cast that takes you to the atmospheric streets of amsterdam at the height of the madness of \u2018tulip fever\u2019 when a single bulb could cost a fortune and a flower was worth more than a woman\u2019s happiness . \u201d sally bedell smith ( diana in search of herself : portrait of a troubled princess ) said it was \u201cthoroughly suspenseful , stunningly filmed and beautifully acted . \u201d daniel james brown ( the boys in the boat ) said he \u201cwas fully engaged right from the get - go , and [ his ] interest never flagged . \u201d anthony doerr , dan jones , jodi picoult , emma donoghue and ml stedman all had just as wonderful things to say about the film ."]}

singer who has just absconded to join her lover in brazil . overnight , zouzou becomes a sensation , but will she be in time to save her beloved jean . . . ?\ninstead of disgracing herself , as her enemies had hoped , she brings down the house . this is one of those rare occasions when a performance within a film matches the acclaim given it by the audience on the screen .\nwhat the audience is waiting for , of course , is for baker to take center stage in some huge production number . and that ' s just what you get as\nzouzou\nstrolls toward its grand finale .\nthe plot is simple , though it doesn\u2019t follow all of the regular structure of a typical hollywood backstage musical . baker is zouzou and gabin is jean . growing up in a carnival atmosphere as part of the \u201cfreak show\u201d ( where freak implies interracial brother and sister ) , they eventually move to paris where jean gets a job as an electrician at a local theater . zouzou realizes her love for him is more than sisterly , but he , in standard gabin tough - guy fashion , is either ignorant of her affection or just doesn\u2019t return it . zouzou is accidentally discovered by the theater producers and at the same time , jean is wrongly accused of murder .\nwith its expressionist lighting \u2013 particularly a scene at a bar and laundromat \u2013 that anticipates the noir - poetic realist hybrid of carne and renoir , zouzou is a standout cinematically and narratively . director allegret uses some bold match cuts , elaborate blocking , and montage - driven cross - cuts to stage his action . one particular moment , where allegret cuts between zouzou singing in the laundromat where she works and the current star of the musical barbara ( ill meery ) singing the same song on - stage is particularly effective , demonstrating how place can negatively affect passion ( ie performance ) and anticipating zouzou\u2019s inevitable rise to stardom ( as if the title weren\u2019t enough of a hint ) .\njosephine baker shines in this film , which features a sometimes befuddling plot . this is fine , since baker is the real attraction here . she ' s a magnetic performer , and one whose career i ' m very excited to explore further .\nthe match cuts and time compressions that allegret uses here \u2013 from a toy ship to a real ship ; from jean in jail to jean in paris ; from zouzou singing to barbara singing ; from a poster of barbara to a poster of zouzou \u2013 all imply a change for each character ( wish fulfillment ) , but remains male - dominated . it is jean whose wishes are fulfilled . he gets to ride a ship , go to paris , and leave with the woman he loves . each of these moments is implied via the match cut / time compression . it\u2019s zouzou whose wishes are only partially fulfilled , where the match cuts surrounding her character are more to move to the obligatory musical number than to solve anything narratively .\nzou zou is a creole laundress , brought up in the circus along with her foster brother , jean . she yearns for a life onstage , and longs for the love of jean , who falls for her best friend . zouzou manages to save jean from a false\u2026\nonce jean is on land , the everyday events ( zouzou gets a job in a laundry but frequents the playhouse where jean works as a stage manager ) are mundane and static . zouzou ' s love is frustrated as jean falls for one of her friends , and that ' s about it as far as conflict goes in carlo rim ' s screenplay . but every now and then , baker gets moments to show off her comic flair , especially the mix of physicality ( an eccentric , akimbo dancing ) and a gamin ' s innocence .\nas children , zouzou and jean are paired in a traveling circus as twins : she ' s dark , he ' s light . after they ' ve grown , he treats her as if she were his sister , but she ' s in love with him . in paris , he ' s a music hall electrician , she ' s a laundress who delivers clean underwear to the hall . she introduces him to claire , her friend at work , and the couple fall in love . jean conspires to get the show ' s star out of town and for the theater manager to see the high - spirited zouzou perform . when jean ' s accused of murder and zouzou needs money to mount his defense , she pleads to go on stage . her talents may save the show , but can anything save her dream of life with jean ?\nof course baker is top - billed , but check out that image . it\u2019s a bit racist in a \u201csavage\u201d kind of way , and is actually more concerned with representing baker\u2019s banana dance , which makes its way into the film only indirectly , than it is with anything plot - related .\nwould be just another run - of - the - mill musical melodrama struggling to imitate its american cousin . even with baker giving it all she has , much of the film is a chore to sit through , and it only comes to life when its star begins doing what she does best , dancing and singing with the raw energy of a typhoon .\nwhen\nzouzou\ncame out in 1935 , st . louis - born josephine baker was a cultural phenomenon in france , her adopted country . she was a song - and - dance comedienne with an appeal both exotic and common . by making the most of her talents , and by generating sparks through expert image - making , baker was the madonna of her day , the queen of the demimonde .\nwe ' re first introduced to baker after seeing her character , zouzou , as a pretty little girl who lives with the carnival and is entranced by the image she sees in a hand mirror . soon , she ' s all grown up and eager for her childhood companion , jean ( the great jean gabin , looking uncomfortable and mildly confused here ) , whom she loves , to return from his life as a sailor .\nfrom tcm zou zou ( 1934 ) the french film zou zou ( 1934 ) is a rare opportunity to see one of the great african - american entertainers of the 20th century . josephine baker , known primarily as a singer / dancer on the stage , cabaret , and music halls , made only a handful of films , and zou zou was her personal favorite , the closest , she said , to whom she was in real life .\na film to exploit the popularity of the ' creole ' cabaret artist josephine baker . and she is the light driving this . sadly there is not much else making it interesting then to see the famous lady do a rare movie project . jean gabin is more or less anonymous and the plot . . . . not sure that was . baker is a cleaner and ends up in a show singing about haiti . . . . and some random situations happens without much context .\nbecause of baker ' s significance in france ,\nzouzou\nis historically intriguing , one of the few documents of a rare career . as art , though , it ' s only a curiosity , a footnote in french cinema . even as entertainment , it ' s sporadic , with little dramatic push and only the barest of a plot contrived to set up baker ' s few spotlighted scenes . but we do get to see baker perform , and that ' s something .\ndirected by : blandine lenoir produced by : local films genre : fiction - runtime : 1 h 21 min french release : 24 / 12 / 2014 production year : 2012 a large house in the countryside . solange , in her sixties , her three daughters agathe , marie and lucie , and her 14 - year - old granddaughter , zouzou , get together for a few days . it ' s an opportunity for solange to tell them some great news : she ' s got a new man in her life . about time ! so , does sexuality get mentioned ? or is it like politics , and not a word is said ? more info : urltoken\nmost of this is simple performance shots \u2013 keeping baker framed in a fairly uninteresting way so as to focus on the song and her body . the end , where she swan dives out , is a freeing moment , but it\u2019s worth noting that when we see her in the cage next , there\u2019s no such exit ( freedom all but gone ) . this is another way that zouzou runs counter to the warner bros . musicals at the time . whereas this should naturally be the end \u2013 woman jumps out of cage , gets man , roll credits \u2013 it\u2019s not . it\u2019s a faux - ending , one that gives the catharsis one expects from this genre , but then recants it in the end .\nallegret sprinkles other nice elements throughout : the bumbling producers , framed by the empty theater seats as if to anticipate the empty house come show - time ; the busby berkeley - like overhead numbers , with hilarious set pieces like giant beds and combs ( domesticity ? or just a notion for the absurd ) ; multiple animal references ( birds , dogs , jaguars ) that are as much about human vs . animal in a freedom - sense , as they rhyme with the derogatory language used to occasionally refer to zouzou ( savage , cannibal ) ; a roaming camera that frequently dollies , frames on windows , and pans in to start scenes , as though as interested in the surroundings and the movement of a bustling city and scene as it is in the characters themselves .\nurltoken no longer supports internet explorer 9 or earlier . please upgrade your browser .\nthis is the 1935 french comedy starring josephine baker , the st . louis - born dancer who , in the mid - 1920 ' s , became one of france ' s greatest cabaret stars . when she died in 1975 after suffering a stroke , miss baker was just four days into the run of a new paris revue celebrating her 50 years as an entertainer . her funeral service was held in the church of the madeleine .\nmovies were only an occasional diversion for miss baker , who , as a black performer , was far more highly regarded abroad than she was at home , at least until near the end of her career . she was a stunning - looking woman who wasn ' t conventionally beautiful . her face was too round and the chin too small for her to succeed simply as an exotic femme fatale .\nnevertheless , she managed to parlay her considerable assets as a dancer , singer and comedienne into a remarkable career . her flamboyant personality was best expressed in her cabaret appearances in which , when she started out , she wore as little as the law allowed , mostly bananas or feathers .\nin ' ' princess tam tam , ' ' miss baker , as alwina , a saucy bedouin beggar , catches the eye of max , a blocked french novelist who has come to tunis to live among ' ' the savages ' ' and find inspiration for a new book . the charmed max decides to write a novel about alwina , in which he acts as pygmalion to her galatea .\nhaving taught alwina how to walk , speak and dress like a lady , max accompanies her to paris , where he introduces her as ' ' princess tam tam from india . ' ' his principal purpose is to make his wife jealous , but alwina , with her couture wardrobe and ingenuous manners , becomes the toast of paris .\nfrom the new york times . you may opt - out at any time .\nyou agree to receive occasional updates and special offers for the new york times ' s products and services .\non this fairly primitive frame , written by pepito abatino ( miss baker ' s husband at the time ) , edmond t . greville , the director , constructed a lighthearted entertainment that well serves the star . the star also somehow manages to serve it and to send it up at the same time . she ' s a delight , especially in two of her musical numbers .\nin one , she takes over the floor of a low - life sailors ' bar to sing and dance with an abandon that thoroughly shocks the society snobs who have dropped in to slum . in the other , having been plied with drink during a paris ball , she can ' t deny the beat of the tom - toms . again princess tam tam makes a spectacle of herself doing what comes naturally .\nshe tears off most of her clothes and leads the orchestra and chorus in a big , hilarious production number that owes a lot to hollywood ' s busby berkeley . she jumps , slides , shakes her shoulders and swings her hips , using her bare arms and legs to describe primitive passions that supposedly set her audience free .\nwe are continually improving the quality of our text archives . please send feedback , error reports , and suggestions to archive _ feedback @ nytimes . com .\naccessibility concerns ? email us at accessibility @ urltoken . we would love to hear from you .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nzou zou tries to help her childhood friend prove his innocence after he ' s accused of murder .\ncheck out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy , the predator , zoe , and the king of thieves .\njosephine baker was born today . . . watch\njosephine baker -

timed motherhood , with all its emotional and financial hassles , to gratify a woman in a way unsurpassed even by a successful career in the fashion industry , a manhattan zip code , and lenient sex life . helen soon learns\u2014as all people raising children do\u2014that she can ' t have it all . manhattan gives . . .\nthis latest take on a familiar setup is not a romantic comedy , as suggested by the trailers and commercials . raising helen is more of a light drama with some comic and tragic moments . it has a solid script and a strong cast led by the deliciously twinkly kate hudson , with helen mirrin as her boss , joan cusack and felicity huffman as her sisters , sakina jaffrey as one tough bat - wielding mother of a neighbor , and john corbett providing guidance , support , and some romantic interest as the lutheran pastor who is principal of the school . that puts it way ahead of garbage like cop and a half and curly sue .\nhelen and her other sister jenny ( joan cusack ) are in shock when they hear lindsay & paul left helen in charge of their three kids : 15 -

in - law are killed in a car accident . their three children \u2013 audrey ( hayden panettiere ) , kenny ( spencer breslin ) , and sarah ( abigail breslin ) - have been orphaned , so they need a guardian . it ' s assumed that helen ' s sister , jenny ( the always enjoyable joan cusack ) , will be chosen for this assignment . while helen was born with grace and charm , she ' s somewhat lacking in the maturity category , and her carefree ways don ' t exactly jibe with parenting like jenny ' s . to both women ' s surprise , their deceased sister has different ideas .\nkate hudson , who stars , seems to be following in the footsteps of her mother , goldie hawn ; both have genuine talent , but choose too often to bury themselves in commercial formulas . hudson plays helen harris , a high - powered manhattan career woman who works as the personal assistant to dominique ( helen mirren ) , the head of a famous modeling agency . she works hard , is on call 24 - 7 , and even when she parties , she ' s talent - scouting . she has a sister named jenny ( joan cusack ) who lives in the suburbs and raises her children as a disciplined time - and - motion study . jenny ' s house , helen observes , looks like a showroom at the pottery barn .\ndespite her already hectic schedule , helen finds the time to develop a genuine affection for her new dependents , as well as an equally genuine attraction to dan parker ( john corbett ) , the kids ' school principal and local lutheran pastor . eventually , helen realizes she can ' t balance the two lives , and is faced with a difficult decision , her fashion career or her nieces and nephew . by luck , she got promoted to agent with her modeling agency and keep the kids as well .\nhelen struggled on at the convent school in copenhagen until she was 16 . her father retired at that time and decided that rather than returning home to norway , he would relocate the family to england . helen\u2019s maternal grandparents , morton and agnes latham , who had both died recently , had lived in hollowdene , a rambling victorian house with vast grounds in frensham . the house overlooks what is now frensham recreation ground , an area of land which was presented to the village by dorothy huitfeldt in memory of her husband and parents .\ndespite helen\u2019s adaptability and capability with languages , coping with the lessons was another matter altogether . \u201ci was very bad at school . i read very inadequately and very , very slowly and my writing was atrocious . i found putting my thoughts on paper was extremely difficult .\nhelen is at the newsagent ' s and is happy for tinka ' s success . her bag falls from her shoulder to the forearm , but in the next shot the bag is back on the shoulder . in the next shot , the bag is back on the forearm .\nthe single and successful executive of the fashion world , helen harris , becomes the guardian of her two nieces and one nephew after the death of her sister and her brother - in - law . she moves from manhattan to queens , and faces difficulties trying to raise the children .\nthe romance between helen and pastor dan progresses with agonizing slowness , complicated by helen ' s belief that lutheran ministers cannot marry ( her attempts to fake lutheranism to get her kids into the school is amusing , but could have been subtler ) . finally pastor dan breaks the ice :\ni ' m a sexy man of god , and i know it .\nthen there are the scenes where the kids resent this man who seems about to replace their father , and the obligatory group visit to the zoo , scored with the obligatory use of simon and garfunkel ' s\nat the zoo .\nthen older sister lindsay ( felicity huffman ) and her husband are killed in a car accident . the will leaves custody of their three children to helen , not to jenny ( joan cusack ) , the anal - retentive responsible sister . the reason for this perplexing choice is explained in two letters , one to each sister , the contents of which are not revealed until it\u2019s dramatically appropriate ( i . e . at the end ) . helen attempts to take care of adolescent audrey ( hayden panettiere ) and youngsters henry ( spencer breslin ) and sarah ( abigail breslin ) . however , this means quitting her agency job and working at (\nwe use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website . if you continue without changing your settings , we ' ll assume that you are happy to receive all cookies on the helen arkell website . however , if you would like to , you can change your cookie settings at any time .\nhelen ( kate hudson ) , a young woman who thinks she has everything she wants , including a glamorous job in a modeling agency . she gets to go to parties and wear chic clothes and be the cool aunt to her sisters ' children , the fun one who thinks that fake ids are great and shows that you never really have to grow up . but then helen ' s sister and brother - in - law are killed in an accident and it turns out that they left their three children not to the older , stable , potpourri - loving earth mother sister jenny ( joan cusack ) but to helen . helen is willing , if a bit shell - shocked . but for the first time she has taken on some problems that can ' t be solved with a dazzling smile . the three children show her how messy , exhausting , painful , more exhausting , expensive , scary , difficult , and then even more exhausting life can be . she will think of it as an unbearable burden . she will have to leave manhattan for brooklyn and take time from her job for an emergency involving shoelace - tying . she will make mistakes and let people down . she will worry that she is not up to the challenge . and she will get a chance to find out whether she is .\nveteran director garry marshall and screenwriters jack amiel and michael begler aim to strike a balance between romantic comedy and heartstring - tugger in this blandly wholesome , good - natured bit of escapism , but its predictability and clich\u00e9d plot make it instantly forgettable . kate hudson stars as perky young helen harris , whose eye for spotting new talent . . . read more\nhowever strong the feelings were , helen kept them to herself . \u201cmy parents were very busy and i suspect they didn\u2019t think too much about me . they were the last people i would have talked to about it \u2013 i didn\u2019t talk to anybody . i had friends who might have helped me by correcting my spelling but i never really confided in them either . \u201d\n\u201cbut because my parents didn\u2019t know how long we would be there , they thought a danish school would be a bit useless for me because it wouldn\u2019t apply much anywhere else , \u201d recalls helen . \u201cso they sent me to a french convent school in copenhagen . this was for oddities like me who didn\u2019t have much of a background in education . it wasn\u2019t a very conventional learning school .\nmost of helen ' s lessons in survival come not from her sister , a forbiddingly humorless caricature , but from her across - the - hall indian neighbor nilma prasad ( sakina jaffrey ) , who , just like all neighbors in sitcoms , is willing to drop her own life at a moment ' s notice to play a supporting role in the heroine ' s ; she channels ethel mertz .\nhelen huitfeldt went through her entire childhood and early adult life believing she was stupid . not until she was well into her twenties did she become aware that she might be suffering from a condition which at that time was known as word - blindness and is now recognised as dyslexia . the discovery was to change her life in ways she could never have imagined as she struggled through her schooldays .\nour heroine , helen ( played by almost famous band - aid / goddess kate hudson ) , is a rising star at a metropolitan modeling agency . all of the bigwigs are impressed by what a natural she is despite the smothering , kinetic pace of this industry . she ' s hip and fun , a rising star in the big apple , and the model equivalent of a can ' t - miss prospect .\nthis left helen as a single mother who , in her own words , was totally unqualified for anything . but the end of the war had also allowed her to resume contact with other members of the family . her sister binkie and her family were in denmark and her brother paul and his family were in norway . as both countries were under german occupation , communication during the war had been virtually impossible apart from an occasional red cross letter .\neventually they returned to hollowdene and it was not long before helen met and fell in love with an army officer called john arkell . \u201che was in the territorials and he was going to be sent to finland \u2013 everything happened in a tearing hurry and i was married when i was 19 . but in the event my husband didn\u2019t go to finland or anywhere else \u2013 he was an instructor at catterick camp for most of the war and two of my three children were born there . \u201d\nin the face of all these dramatic changes , helen also discovers romantic entanglements . during the new family ' s move to the borough of queens , they have picked up a stray in the form of local pastor , dan ( everyone ' s favorite northern exposure dj , john corbett ) . the man of god falls fast and hard for this struggling woman faced with so many dramatic changes in her life . it ' s also worth noting that the three kids need a strong father figure .\nthe huitfeldts moved into the empty house and to helen\u2019s alarm her parents then began to discuss which english school she should go to . \u201ci was absolutely horrified because i didn\u2019t think my english was very good , but in the end i received private tuition from a retired eton schoolmaster who lived nearby . sometimes an extra teacher might have been brought in for maths , but i never could add two and two together ! my mother was quite musical so i was sent to piano lessons and i was absolutely useless at that too . \u201d\na s far as heartwarming comedies go , this one has all the parts necessary : the heart , the warmth , and the comedy . at the outset , the storytellers get the heart commiserating with three grieving children\u2014audrey ( hayden panettiere ) , henry ( spencer breslin ) , and sarah ( abigail breslin ) \u2014when their parents are killed in a car accident . the heart warms as the kids ' supercool young aunt gives up her exciting career , and the perks that come with it , to take on the uncool role of the orphaned kids ' guardian . the chuckles come easily , even in the predictable moments , as you watch dazzling helen harris ( kate hudson ) grow into her new skin .\nromantic comedy starring kate hudson as helen harris , a 20 - something manhattan socialite with a successful fashion career . however , her dream lifestyle is brought to a shuddering halt when she gets a phone call to inform her that not only are her sister and brother - in - law dead , but she must now assume reponsibility for their three children aged 15 , 12 and 5 . convinced that she can bring them up and maintain her hectic schedule , she throws herself into her new responsibilities - but soon finds herself burnt out and unable to cope . an unlikely source of support - and , over time , a deeper attraction - comes from the children ' s school principal and local pastor dan parker ( john corbett ) .\nin which puss in boots stops and makes cutesy , goo - goo kitty eyes at people ? well , this movie is like that look . it\u2019s so cloying , designed to manipulate your heartstrings at every conceivable turn . the problem is that manipulation quickly becomes apparent . you eventually realize that there\u2019s no substance here . that fact is evident in the big things \u2013 you can foresee every single plot development coming long before it actually gets there \u2013 as well as in the small things . every element is designed to show that helen is a good person who loves children and will make a wonderful mother just as soon as she grows up . pardon my skepticism , but i believe the kids would have been better off with jenny .\nthe movie , directed by garry marshall (\npretty woman\n) , is not unaware of the lifestyle differences between single manhattan career women and receptionists in queens . not even after helen unloads an eyesore green lincoln and is promoted to sales does she have the money , or the skills , to make things work - - even though she learns fast . but she ' s let off fairly easily . the movie exists in the kind of economy where one working - class paycheck could just about support a family , and where city kids went to the wholesome parochial school down the street . times are harder now , but the movie doesn ' t know it - - can ' t afford to , if its sunny disposition is to prevail .\nparents need to know that this movie has some strong language . characters drink and smoke . helen ' s smoking , imitated by one of the children , is evidence of her carefree lifestyle ; we see her wearing a nicotine patch after she has to begin to be more responsible . similarly , as the fun aunt she approves of a fake id for an underage girl ; as the parent , she does not . and before she has the children , she has casual sex , but afterward she is ready for a more complete relationship . an underage couple plan to have sex but are stopped in time . some members of the audience will find the movie ' s portrayal of public school to be unfair . a strength of the movie is friendship between diverse characters .\nsee the box office tab ( domestic ) and international tab ( international and worldwide ) for more cumulative box office records .\nthe bold credits above the line are the\nabove -

day weekend than i thought they ' d earn during the 4 - day weekend . and that helped this memorial day long weekend become the biggest weekend ever . comparing the 3 - day total we see a 12 . 4 % increase from last weekend and a 9 . 9 % increase from last year . however , last year at this time it was not memorial day . compared to last year ' s memorial day the three -

magnons ( modern man ) coexisted . this is the subject of this novel that takes place in prehistoric europe . the novel opens with a terrible earthquake , in which a five year old cro - magnon girl is orphaned . alone , young ayla wanders the countryside sleeping in a cave , until one day she is attacked by a cave lion .\nit ' s a very difficult thing . . . in a way . . . you have to walk a fine line to write a novel in a series that is also a novel . . . it ' s an independent one and i ' ve tried to do that with every one . . . you know . . . so even with clan of the cave bear in the beginning . . . i knew there was going to be much more to follow and i knew i was putting clues into that that i wouldn ' t pick up until i got into the shelters of stone which i have now started to do .\niza encourages ayla , all the way through the book as well , to find the others like herself . ayla , due to circumstances on broud ' s part is forced to leave the clan eventually and wanders away trying to find the others .\nthe drama takes place at a time in prehistory more than 25 , 000 years ago when neanderthals shared the planet with the first early modern humans and a band of cave dwellers adopts blond and blue - eyed ayla ( millie brady ) , a child of the \u201cothers . \u201d as ayla matures into a young woman of spirit and courage , she must fight for survival against the jealous bigotry of broud ( johnny ward ) , who one day will be clan leader . charlene mckenna and hal ozsan co - star in what has been lifetime\u2019s only outstanding pilot .\nafter the success of her first book , the author formed relationships with several prominent scientists in the field and periodically went to europe to see locales or important finds firsthand . she even worked digs and found half a 30 , 000 - year - old cro - magnon blade while researching the shelters of stone . but it was a trip to the dramatic lascaux cave in france that produced a pivotal part of the current book . ayla discovers this exact cave , and it becomes an important , highly spiritual place for jondalar ' s people .\n) for lost revenue . this did not stop uwe boll from starting a series of films when the film sold well on dvd . . .\ndirectorial debut : \u201cjohnny suede\u201d ( 1991 ) dicillo\u2019s first film landed at sundance in 1991 , launching the career of its leading man , one william bradley pitt . the future megastar plays the title character , an aspiring rock star with a truly impressive haircut and a nifty pair of shoes . catherine keener and nick cave are also among the cast for the film , which became something of a cult classic . it\u2019s still perhaps a little too in thrall to dicillo\u2019s friend and mentor , but there\u2019s a lot to like here nevertheless , not least the rockabilly soundtrack .\nayla had to learn clan ways and customs along with every other member in the book . but it is never easy for her with broud ' s open hatred . she learns how to hunt , which women are strictly forbidden to do in the clan , and iza teaches her medicine skills along the way . later , when broud finds out about ayla ' s ability to hunt , she is in deep trouble and severely punished .\n( 2015 ) starring millie brady as ayla but this failed to go anywhere beyond a pilot film .\nbecause the film cost us $ 15 million to produce and brought in only us $ 1 . 9 million domestically , it is considered a box office flop . the film was nominated for an oscar in 1987 for best makeup ( michael westmore and mich\u00e8le burke ) . the film currently holds a 10 % rating on rotten tomatoes based on 10 reviews .\nin the 1986 feature adaptation of the book , the lead role of ayla was played by daryl hannah .\nwith the publication of the valley of the horses in 1982 , auel made a sharp turn toward romance . the ice age becomes oddly ( and , likely , ahistorically ) utopian , full of great earth mother - worshipping cro - magnons with egalitarian societies . the novel details three years ayla spends alone , inventing horseback riding and taming a cave lion . it also introduces jondalar , a handsome , sensitive , well - endowed cro - magnon on his own epic journey , who eventually needs rescuing by ayla after a run - in with her pet cave lion .\nbrainstorm ( 1983 ) \u2014 budget , $ 18 million . box office , $ 10 . 2 million . this sci -

cola selling their whole film business to sony . it didn ' t help that the film was released that only 117 prints were made for the american market , which is unusual for a film of this budget . the film also did not get production company allied filmmakers off to the start they would have hoped for , with most of the label ' s films being a critical flop , a commercial flop , or a flop of both kinds . that said , this is one of the films that is an acclaimed flop , having a 92 % on rotten tomatoes .\nhaving read the earth ' s children series of books by jean m . auel , i thought i should watch the film that was made about the first book . kind of wish i hadn ' t . not really worth it .\nlove this film -

they do not mark things in your book . apparently that happens more so in freelance writing for magazines and newspapers and stuff , or even if you ' re just on the staff . editors can just come in and change a lot of things . in writing books , mostly what happens is an editor will go through - and its another pair of eyes , it looks at your work , and they suggest , ( well , i think that this doesn ' t fit together ) , or ( this would be clearer if you . . . ) , ( how about clarifying this ) , and then i take it back and redo those writings if i choose to ."]}

german production in punjabi with english subtitles achieves exactly what a good qissa aims to : it leaves you haunted feeling a bit hallucinatory , uneasy , even disturbed .\na long time after the film is over , qissa will lurk behind you , murmuring . and you\u2019ll find yourself grappling with the stuff it\u2019s whispering , the questions it\u2019s asking of you . you\u2019ll find yourself seeking some answers . last year india recognised the third gender transgenders . it acknowledged their existence and gave them sanction to exist . singh\u2019s qissa acknowledges another being the transgender in spirit , made so by a father\u2019s obsession for a son .\ndirected by anup singh , the film will be shown in select theatres across mumbai , delhi , chandigarh , chennai and kolkata . the vod will be available on national film development corporation ( nfdc ) vod website , read a statement .\nthis year , ritesh batra ' s debut film , the lunchbox , will hope to receive a similar reception . its performances at prior international festivals certainly give it a shot . the film has already won two audience awards : the grand rail d ' or award at the cannes film festival and the world cinema amsterdam film festival . the lunchbox is a sweet romance between a soon - to - retire government official ( irrfan khan ) and a melancholic housewife ( nimrat kaur ) . what makes batra ' s film a treat is that it unfolds through food and letters exchanged in a lunchbox .\ndiana iljine , irrfan khan and director anup singh attend the ' qissa ' premiere as part of filmfest muenchen 2014 on june 30 , 2014 in munich , germany .\nthe third opening film siddhant is a marathi feature film . it is directed by vivek wagh , founder of choice film & television institute , pune . he has produced a number of marathi films and siddhant is his debut film as a director . the story focuses on a man who lived his life following the principle \u2018if you cannot nurture honesty in your home , you have no right to preach to society\u2019 . he is shattered when he finds out the truth behind his grandson\u2019s success .\nsign up : stay on top of the latest breaking film and tv news ! sign up for our email newsletters here .\nall of us have grown up with various kinds of stories that were told to us . some of them will be forgotten and some of them will die with us . and the story of qissa is here to stay . qissa - the tale of a lonely ghost is the first movie shot under indo - german co - production .\ni don\u2019t see why you should not . qissa is a brilliant , heavy - on - the - mind drama that is full of metaphorical punches . it is a dark film with powerful performances that must not be missed ! a pat on the back to director anup singh for this audacious endeavor !\ndirected by anup singh , the film will be shown in select theatres across mumbai , delhi , chandigarh , chennai and kolkata .\nuntil this point , qissa holds your attention with both its technical sophistication and its storytelling . the cinematography is gorgeous , the background score is rich and the acting is superb . all this remains largely constant for the duration of the film , but the story flounders and starts pushing the boundaries of credibility .\nqissa is technically brilliant as the frames take you to an inward journey which is more claustrophobic than the room where umber singh decides to forcefully transform his girl into a boy .\ninitially , you feel the tag line of the film \u2018the tale of a lonely ghost\u2019 refers to the actual ghost in the film ( irrfan khan ) , but as the second half progresses , you realize it\u2019s kanwar who is the \u2018lonely ghost\u2019 in this tale .\nit feels a little weird calling qissa arthouse cinema because the film is against any sort of reductionist classification . anup singh\u2019s qissa is a powerful , haunting , well - crafted film about the fluidity of identity and sexuality . does identity stem from a culture or country you were born in , your gender , sexuality or simply the environment you were raised in and experiences that shaped you ? the film packs these deep questions into a rather simple story . umber singh ( irrfan khan is utterly despicable and scarily real in this role ) , a patriarch dealing with the scars of the india - pakistan separation , raises his third girl child as a boy , unwilling to accept her as a girl . does the girl then grow up as a girl or a boy or both ?\nalso , watch out for siddharth , a film by an indo - canadian director richie mehta . the film centres on a traumatized couple ' s desperate search for their 12 - year - old son who goes missing from his workplace in ludhiana . starring rajesh tailang , tannishtha chatterjee , anurag arora , shobha sharma jassi , geeta agarwal sharma and naseeruddin shah , the film had its premiere at venice days programme .\nanup singh chooses to tell you upfront that this is the story of a ghost ( the film is called qissa : the tale of a lonely ghost ) so that you don\u2019t question its supernatural tone and this is a film best watched if you know beforehand that this is a ghost story . not very often do we make sensitive films on lgbt issues ; every beautifully lit haunting frame crafted with passion is testimony to anup singh\u2019s uncompromising vision and decade - long commitment to bringing his script alive on celluloid . qissa is a fascinating tale , full of surprises , and one of the very best films you will see this year . or any year .\nmsg : the messenger box office report : saint gurmeet ram rahim singh ji insan\u2019s film earns rs 89 . 29 crore in six days !\nthe film releases alongside varun dhawan\u2019s badlapur\u2026 . set aside the badla that beckons at the boxoffice this week . qissa is a killer . all our lives we try to be what we are not . some of us lie about our sexual orientation to ourselves or to others . in one way or another every life is layered in lies .\ni had a chance to see the film\nqissa\nwhile it screened at the south asian film festival in new york . not knowing the premise of the film , what struck me most was the depth of the different characters portrayed in the story . actors irfan khan and tillotama shome displayed a beautiful and sensitive chemistry playing the father - daughter duo , replete with complex emotional struggles and seemingly unsurmountable conflicts . the interpersonal relationships between the characters were touching and real despite the darkness that surrounded them . tillotama ' s gender - transcending portrayal of a complex and conflicted\nkanwar\nwas seamless and simply blew me away !\nsometimes , however , dress - up isn ' t quite so innocent . qissa : the tale of a lonely ghost is the story of how far - reaching the consequences can be of playacting .\nit ' s when neeli ( rasika dugal ) , a gypsy girl , enters the story and umber decides to marry kanwar to her that things start getting seriously complicated and qissa loses its footing .\n\u201cthe festival is happy to premiere another yash raj film , my big fat bride starring ayushmann khurrana . this film has a great story that is relateable to the common man . it is a must watch for everyone\u201d , stated sunny gill , founder | president of bmo iffsa | piff | toronto .\nqissa\u2019s superb dialogue , again by singh and madan gopal singh are in old -

down haveli . perhaps it ' s meant to be magic realism but the shift in tone is jarring and most importantly , it distracts us from kanwar ' s identity crisis and the relationship with neeli . also , even the realistic becomes improbable as the film builds up to a decidedly forced climax . some of qissa ' s most powerful moments are between shome and dugal . dugal sparkles as the feisty neeli who is confused between her fondness for kanwar and rage at being conned into marrying a woman .\nanup singh\u2019s qissa is one of the most challenging and eloquent films i have seen from india in recent years . it defies taboos and shocks the spectator . it leaves you uneasy , shaken and displaced from comfort . at times , it leaves you confused . it is a mature film framed in complex narrative motifs , perhaps difficult for an audience who struggles with cinematic abstraction . but it is a formidable cinematic treat . as the reviews so far make it evident , the film is dismissed as an artistic indulgence with little consequences either for cinema or for the rigidity of mores that it challenges . but the film comes from a different world , from new thresholds of image and narrative , from a time of qisse and storytelling defined by nimble and potent narratives that draw their own limits and expand their own horizons . in this process , qisse kept the cultures alive , breathing and ready for change .\nbased on his own insights growing up in a village in the indian state of punjab , anup singh has accorded qissa with a historical and social framework that sets out to highlight how fault lines in india lie beyond merely religious denominations . in a story revolving around how umber khan ( irrfan khan , the life of pi ) is obsessed with having a son to continue his clan ' s near - vanquished bloodline , qissa brings to the fore how the violent fallout of the deadly indo - pakistan partition in 1947 can be more sex - based than just sectarian .\nthose moments are not allowed to intrude . only a few telling milestones are allowed , events that don\u2019t just take the story forward but shape characters , change them . that\u2019s the writer , director\u2019s conceit and it demands , if a qissa is to be enjoyed , suspension of disbelief .\nkanwar is married off to neeli ( rashika duggal ) , a gypsy ( naqal ) , and umber desires a grandson . the story now coils and doesn\u2019t so much as move but skulk forward , to a cursed man who is forced to stand witness to the heart - rendering howls of his own daughter and have no answers . qissa : the tale of a lonely ghost is a complicated film based on a complicated idea . its screenplay , by singh and madhuja mukherjee , is woven with powerful motifs and themes that we are constantly in dialogue with . it\u2019s that kind of film where inanimate objects come to life , acquire meaning , a haunting story of their own . there\u2019s a reech ( bear ) , revenge , partition , gender , gender identity , homosexuality , and patriarchy pivoting on the all - encompassing conspiracy required to keep it intact . it\u2019s the kind of film that we hardly get to see on our screens . don\u2019t miss it .\nthe film is about a mismatched couple who try to find themselves and each other while facing challenges in their dysfunctional families and lives . it presents its own take on society\u2019s objectification of women and tries to break stereotypes .\nas umber ' s obsession with getting kanwar to reproduce go into a manic overdrive , bloodshed and death becomes nearly inevitable - - and qissa retains its drive as it continues to track its protagonist ' s sexual schisms . but it ' s when the couple finally are forced to meet their fate , however , that singh brazen transition into the supernatural derails any possibility of allowing a glimpse into the seemingly irresolvable issue of female emancipation in a heavily misogynist world . with qissa ' s polished production values , it ' s a shame the drive of singh ' s argument is not sustained to the end .\nfrom the lyricism of this scene , the narrative of qissa takes a turn . the film moves to a meditative realm not found in the narrative of umber\u2019s life . the troubled daughter raised as a son , now discovering herself with a woman meant to be her wife , must now confront the forces that brought her here . singh adapts the device of a ghost that works simultaneously as a narrative element firm in the beliefs of the community , and a cinematic screen that brings contrition and reflection to the cultural and family crises .\nsimilarly , when neeli\u2019s admiration changes into love and then to a caring attitude within 30 seconds is another example of fantastic acting skills . she is the cohesive force of the film despite it being someone else\u2019s point of view .\ngiven the uproar in india about the sexual oppression faced by the country ' s female population , qissa could have been a timely addition to the debate , as the film tells the story of a young woman ' s twisted coming of age as she is raised as a boy by her tyrant of a father . but early promise of a poised and substantial piece gets undermined by a final , inexplicable leap into the paranormal - - an odd denouement for a narrative centered on the very real and corporeal issue of gender - based violence .\nqissa : the tale of a lonely ghost is one of those films which unfolds on the screen with multiple meanings for different people . that it is open to many interpretations does not take away anything from its cinematic brilliance . it is also a first - of - its - kind indian cinema , what with a tanzania - born director and an almost all - foreign crew . interestingly , anup singh had to struggle even to get this punjabi film off the starting block , till foreign producers and nfdc came along to bail him out .\nirrfan controls the proceedings as one of the most difficult characters he has ever played . he had to justify his \u2018brutal\u2019 existence and yet had to generate sympathy for his deeds . he rises to the occasion and owns the film .\nindia has a part to play even in the film that kicks off the popular festival , the fifth estate . anil ambani ' s reliance entertainment is one of the producers of the film . directed by bill condon , the drama - thriller looks at how julian assange ( benedict cumberbatch ) and his german friend daniel domscheit - berg ( daniel bruhl ) founded the website wikileaks , which became popular for making public secret information and classified data from anonymous sources .\nshome is credible but not entirely convincing as kanwar in his teenaged boy avatar . however , later in the film , when she plays a kanwar trying to figure out whether masculinity or femininity comes naturally to her , shome is superb .\nunfortunately for both these actors , the script seems unsure about their relationship . at one point , they giggle about having fallen in love with a woman . but the film seems to shy away from walking the boys don ' t cry path .\n( germany -

( international sales : the match factory , cologne , germany . ) produced by johannes rexin , bettina brokemper . co - producers , nina lath gupta , bero beyer , thierry lenouvel . executive producer , vikramjit roy .\nthe idea of the film was inspired by anup singh\u2019s own childhood in that sikh boys are not allowed to cut their hair . this gave singh an interesting perspective on the thin boundary between male and female , despite the patriarchal power structure behind it . umber singh\u2019s character is based on the director\u2019s grandfather who had to leave his home during the partition of 1947 . the film makes for riveting and sometimes somewhat harrowing viewing . while it does leave you with a bit of a strain in your heart , it\u2019s an essential film for women\u2019s rights in india . it\u2019s also a relief to see how far brilliant filmmakers like anup singh have departed from the pre - packaged bollywood formula . it\u2019s a credit to zootrope films formidable art house list .\nqissa is only running in three theatres in delhi , but is a strongly recommended watch . this is like one of those few movies that will let you take away interpretations and much more . all the major edits have been left free to be interpreted by the audience . you might enter the hall with some set notions , but you may come out either blown away by it or with a lot of throbbing unanswered questions . but that ' s the beauty of this film - it has no clear - cut ending ; it has no beginning - it just has a flawless flow .\nthe actor is playing a pivotal role in the fourth instalment of the jurassic park franchise\u2026irrfan khan , who is seen receiving rave reviews for his latest release , qissa has added yet another feather to his cap . the versatile actor will be seen featuring in the first ever jurassic park franchise game . yes ! irrfan\u2019s onscreen character , [ \u2026 ]\nbefore dancing arabs starts its run to the german cinema screens on may 21st , distributor nfp presents the film on 2 premieres in hamburg ( 11 . 5 . abaton -

text , ghost tale and unlikely romance , \u201cqissa\u201d packs enough punch to make up for its thematic disparity . at its best , this idiosyncratic drama on india\u2019s partition and a father\u2019s obsession with having a son delivers such distinctive storytelling that open - minded audiences are likely to accept a [ \u2026 ]\nset in the post - partition riot torn era , the film traces the journey of umber singh , who tries to eek out a living for himself and his family , all the while keeping their true identities of belonging to the sikh community , a secret .\nthere will be times when your heart will shrivel up . but the film\u2019s most poignant moment occurs when kanwar undresses herself by the window , revealing her true physical identity to her ghost father , as the villagers gather around gawking at the tragic and appalling spectacle .\nthe 2013 toronto international film festival added over 75 titles to its lineup this morning , including new films from guillaume canet , hayao miyazaki , sean durkin , clio barnard , james franco , johnnie to , alex gibney , john turturro , kevin macdonald and fred schepisi .\nneeraj pandey and akki\u2019s second collaboration has turned out to be a huge crowd puller\u2026akshay kumar , anupam kher , rana daggubati , taapsee pannu , kay kay menon , madhurima tuli and danny danzongpa starrer baby becomes the first film in 2015 to enter the rs 100 crore club .\nbmo iffsa | piff 2015 opening gala will be held at mississauga convention center . it is a red carpet affair expecting dignitaries and international film makers supporting their critically acclaimed films . the red carpet will be followed by a cocktail reception , opening gala , and after party .\nthe film starring the dera sacha sauda chief is sailing high to reach the rs 100 crore mark\u20262015 has gone off to a brilliant start with akshay kumar\u2019s baby crossing the rs 100 crore mark and now msg : the messenger racing fast towards the coveted mark . yes you read that right !\nindian animation will also be in the spotlight with the world premiere of the world of goopi and bagha ( goopi gawaiiya , bagha bajaiiya ) . based on the classic children ' s story goopi gyne , bagha byne , the film is directed by shilpa ranade , an illustrator of children ' s books , a short filmmaker and a lecturer at industrial design centre at indian institute of technology , mumbai . produced by the children ' s film society of india , it follows the misadventures of two musically - inclined fools goopy , who loves to sing , and bagha , who plays the drums .\nthe notion of displacement and how it impacts the nurturing of a young mind is very much visible in the entire film . be it kanwar , neeli or umber , everybody is trying to cope up with the fast winds of change , and thus giving birth to more doubts about their own existence .\nanup singh\u2019s qissa is draped simultaneously in a tale of a punjabi man , the social realities of gender issues , and in the figure of a ghost that moves the narrative to a realm of new thoughts . he forges the spirits of benjamin\u2019s faith in storytelling , the dynamic traditions of qisse , the cinematic powers of imagination , and the necessity of social critique of the struggle between orthodoxy of tradition and gender issues .\ndirector anup singh ' s last film was the name of a river , a stylised tribute to the films and life of filmmaker ritwik ghatak . it was lyrical , neatly tangled in its own internal logic and not particularly easy to access if you weren ' t a fan of ghatak ' s work .\nin the past , not many indian storytellers would have attempted such a plot . that is what makes makes qissa an important film in terms of its thematic representation . it\u2019s a secluded world which is hugely imprinted with umber\u2019s idea of masculinity , and how his choices affect the lives of people around him . in a way , it\u2019s about partition within the partition . women and children were the most gullible victims of the indo - pak division , but they suffered way beyond it . mehar , for example , suffered in pakistan as well as inside her family in india . umber\u2019s inbuilt masochism haunted her in the new life even more . however , mehar was not alone in her fight for survival , her adolescent daughters joined her .\nrarely do we get to watch films where we are constantly reading faces minutely , searching for answers , for clues . we do so here and they all remain dazzlingly ambiguous . none more so than the ever fabulous irrfan khan who inhabits the persona of a sikh , a father , a husband , a soul with incredibly lyrical sagacity . traumatised and desperate , he possesses and exudes spookiness that\u2019s fundamental to connecting with this qissa .\number\u2019s contrition - tinged soliloquy is addressed to neeli and not to kanwar . his superstition for preferring a son to a daughter brought injuries to a woman , abusing her in a forced marriage , in the violent transgression on her body , and for suffocating her only relationship in a marriage . he could have been contrite to his own daughter who was made into a son . but his contrition to neeli is addressed to the gender of women against whom the injustice of gender preference is directed . it includes contrition to kanwar , his wife , and his three daughters . by placing the qissa of a punjabi man caught in the pain of partition ; by his abilities to inflict harm in displacing others from their zones of comfort ; and by using the figure of the ghost to bring together the threads of the past and the present , anup singh\u2019s film holds a mirror to a culture that still suffers from the trauma , though the mirror is held at a distance . the trajectory of this qissa remains open to its narrators . it is either to think of a distant tale from a forgotten and ghost - ridden past or as an allegory that speaks to the present .\nfrom here qissa grows increasingly darker as tension ratchets up to an unbearable level because we know how intolerable this society will be once the truth of kanwar\u2019s sex is revealed . the dynamic between he and neeli strains quickly as the secret becomes hers to bear and the violent conclusion to this second act is actually a welcome turn of events despite its tragic end . the aforementioned spiritual magic then takes the final third into a realm masked by changing fa\u00e7ades i couldn\u2019t help but compare to the idea of hindu gods adopting avatars to walk the earth . the idea of who we are manifests itself through a physical transformation simultaneously unsettling and understandable . the film\u2019s subtitle the tale of a lonely ghost takes meaning and umber\u2019s wish for immortality results in immense sacrifice .\n\u201conline and social media , with no traditional television spots or billboards , is primarily driving our marketing strategy , as we believe that the audiences for nfdc\u2019s portfolio of films are socially networked and digitally wired . this is the first time that a punjabi feature film will get such a scale of exposure , \u201d she added .\ni honestly have no words to help gain my footing because this film exists on a level beyond my comprehension . i don\u2019t know if that is good or bad\u2014probably alternatingly both\u2014but the result is definitely something uniquely its own . a tale of rebirth , honor , fidelity to family , and the loss of identity , anup singh \u2018s qissa tackles an insane subject matter so realistically tragic that its head - scratching shift to fantastical and spiritual allegory can\u2019t help but take you aback . right when you\u2019ve maybe wrapped your head around the central conceit , singh blindsides you once more with a revelation that simply isn\u2019t feasible in the context of verisimilitude . the title is arabic for \u201cfolk tale , \u201d however , so i guess i shouldn\u2019t have been surprised there would be enchanted liberties taken with reality .\nirrfan khan takes centre stage again with qissa . directed by anup singh , the punjabi - language drama is set during the turbulent and bloody period of india ' s partition . khan essays the role of umber singh , a sikh , who attempts\nto forge a new life for his family while keeping their true identities a secret from their community\n. the actor will also be seen discussing his cinematic journey from the warrior to life of pi .\na few scenes later , neeli says they are like sisters . kanwar can kill for neeli , but there doesn ' t seem to be any sexual attraction . considering the circumstances , that the characters would be confused makes complete sense , but the problem with qissa is that the intent of the story seems confused . as a result , neither the characters nor the audience really knows whether neeli and kanwar are in love or friends or forced together by circumstance .\nset in post - colonial india , qissa tells the story of umber singh , a sikh , who is forced to flee his village due to ethnic cleansing at the time of partition in 1947 . umber decides to fight fate and builds a new home for his family . when umber marries his youngest child kanwar to neeli , a girl of lower caste , the family is faced with the truth of their identities ; where individual ambi - tions and destinies collide in a struggle with eternity .\nback home kanwar ' s mother and two sisters die in a fire . only the elder sister survives the fire but she has lost her sanity . kanwar is haunted by his father ' s ghost . ultimately neeli too who cannot handle the complexity of the situation jumps to her death . and the film ends with the ghost of umber seeking neeli ' s forgiveness .\ni , personally , was looking forward to the punjabi language these contemporary actors had used in the film . but i was a little disappointed . although they all did a great job , the movie could have been better , language wise . i was actually expecting to hear thet ( raw ) punjabi , which used to be spoken in the pre - independence era . the language sounds really sweet to the ears , but when it is used , especially by sardarnis , the language runs at the speed of light . that raw and crispy flavour of punjabi doesn ' t come across noticeably in the film . however , talking about the language in front of their a - class acting is just placing a candle in front of the sun .\ndirector , anup singh , develops this original premise to great avail , showing how this decision affects relationships between kanwar , the little girl - boy , and her / his sisters . most of the action in the first half of the film , however , focuses on the relentless power of the father\u2019s monomania . singh\u2019s film is also a masterpiece of ambiguity from start to finish . the spectator is never quite sure to what extent the sisters and even the mother is aware that kanwar is actually a girl . the story is so adroitly narrated that you\u2019re not even sure if kanwar himself knows his own real gender . and when he has his first menstrual period , he goes to see his father who comforts him by telling him that he has finally reached manhood !\n\u201cqissa\u201d is the first picture to take advantage of the relatively new india - germany co - production treaty , apparent from the large ( some may gripe , overwhelming ) presence of western crew members in the tech credits . singh first attempted to raise funds in india alone , but pressure to shoot the pic in hindi rather than punjabi made him look for alternative income sources . the title , punjabi for \u201cfable\u201d or \u201clegend , \u201d is occasionally being appended in press notes with \u201cthe tale of a lonely ghost , \u201d though it\u2019s an inaccurate reflection of the story and should be ditched .\ni don\u2019t want to kill your suspense by revealing the deal about the ghost , but i am tempted to say that the paraphernalia around kanwar changes drastically with this cinematic masterstroke . there is a scene in the film where kanwar breaks free of the shackles and rejects all the social norms by baring her heart and body . tilottama has made this sequence so soulful and penetrating that you will be dumbfounded in the absence of the right reaction .\nthis nature - versus - nurture conflict plays out through shocking twists and turns , intended not to shock but explore the question of identity , layer by layer . tillotama shome as kanwar singh is the absolute triumph of qissa playing a gender - bending , stereotype - defying character trapped in between labels and separatist tendencies . between india and pakistan . between man and woman . between gay and straight . between the living and dead . and the actress nails every complex conflicted emotion , embracing the traits of both the masculine and the feminine , and emerges as the performer to beat for best actress this year .\nbeginning in pakistan and returning there in the end , qissa is the story of umber singh ( irrfan khan ) , a husband , a father , a man rendered homeless by marauding hordes during partition . displaced , hurting , angry , umber decides to twist life according to his wish , even if that means living with some self - loathing . he replies in kind to what fate throws at him and plots revenge . first on the muslims who\u2019ll take over his house and , later , on his destiny , his child . he dodged fate once , cocked a snook at it . and he\u2019ll do it again .\nthough it\u2019s an odd hybrid of gender parable , displacement meta - text , ghost tale and unlikely romance , \u201cqissa\u201d packs enough punch to make up for its thematic disparity . at its best , this idiosyncratic drama on india\u2019s partition and a father\u2019s obsession with having a son delivers such distinctive storytelling that open - minded audiences are likely to accept a certain degree of perplexity while appreciating the ways sophomore helmer anup singh conveys his potent message . modest wins in toronto ( netpac ) , mumbai and abu dhabi foreshadow a healthy fest career , though theatrical play will remain limited even in home territories , notwithstanding the draw of star irrfan khan .\nedits in the movie are nicely done , which actually make the movie look earthy and organic . qissa transcends all the mental barriers with which one views sexuality . it ' s saddening to see how women ' s breasts are perceived in the society . kanwar was asked to tie a tight cloth around his chest , and later , the marks on her back , too , are shown on screen . but there are many females like kanwar who actually follow this practice because apparently breasts or big breasts are still considered a taboo in this country . in india , the rate of your freedom is determined by the flatness of your chest . sad , but true !\nalthough qissa is set during the india - pakistan partition in 1947 , it is not like any drama you\u2019ve seen before . it is intensely somber through the whole of the two hours . umber singh ( irrfan khan ) is a sikh who has no choice but to flee his village along with his family . umber is relentlessly consumed by the desire of begetting a son , so much so that he raises his fourth daughter , kanwar , as the family\u2019s sole male heir ( played to perfection by tillotama shome ) . everyone including the child grows up believing she\u2019s a male . and if that sounds messed up to you , wait till you have watched all of it !"]}

t recognized until the 19th century . beginning with the romantic period of the early 1800s and continuing through the victorian period , acclaim and reverence for william shakespeare and his work reached its height . in the 20th century , new movements in scholarship and performance have rediscovered and adopted his works .\nat william jewell college , we encourage two - way conversations that challenge assumptions , engage with original ideas and promote a deeper dialogue , inviting everyone to have a voice . with one faculty member for every 10 students , in - depth discussions happen every day .\nwilliam t . sherman\u2019s field order no . 15 of january 1865 , which set aside a large swath of land along the coast of south carolina and georgia for the exclusive settlement of black families , and by the freedmen\u2019s bureau act of march , which authorized the bureau\u2026\nmeeting beyonc\u00e9 and jay z in new york ( 2014 ) : kate and william met their american royalty counterparts at the barclays center ( we hear the front - row chair kate was sitting on is now plated in gold , no one else allowed to ever sit in it ) .\nwilliam t . sherman was massing forces in chattanooga , tennessee , in anticipation of his drive on atlanta . forrest and his superiors hoped that his raid would disrupt sherman\u2019s preparations . by this stage in the conflict , forrest had already earned a reputation as a fierce , temperamental , and\u2026\nknown throughout the world , the works of william shakespeare have been performed in countless hamlets , villages , cities and metropolises for more than 400 years . and yet , the personal history of william shakespeare is somewhat a mystery . there are two primary sources that provide historians with a basic outline of his life . one source is his work \u2014 the plays , poems and sonnets \u2014 and the other is official documentation such as church and court records . however , these only provide brief sketches of specific events in his life and provide little on the person who experienced those events .\n\u2026party nearly killed commanding general william t . sherman and his small escort outside fort richardson . the army then received permission in july 1874 to initiate another offensive . in the resulting red river indian war , five army columns marched on indians declared hostile by the federal government . the most notable encounter\u2026\nwilliam tecumseh sherman invaded georgia from the north . sherman and his troops laid siege to atlanta in late summer and burned much of the city before finally capturing it . sherman then launched his march to the sea , a 50 - mile - ( 80 - km - ) wide swath of total destruction\u2026\nsauer , j . r . , pardieck , k . l . , ziolkowski , d . j . , jr . , smith , a . c . , hudson , a . - m . r . , rodriguez , v . , berlanga , h . , niven , d . k . , and link , w . a . , 2017 , the first 50 years of the north american breeding bird survey : condor , v . 119 , no . 3 , p . 576 - 593 .\nabout 150 years after his death , questions arose about the authorship of william shakespeare & apos ; s plays . scholars and literary critics began to float names like christopher marlowe , edward de vere and francis bacon \u2014 men of more known backgrounds , literary accreditation , or inspiration \u2014 as the true authors of the plays . much of this stemmed from the sketchy details of shakespeare & apos ; s life and the dearth of contemporary primary sources . official records from the holy trinity church and the stratford government record the existence of a william shakespeare , but none of these attest to him being an actor or playwright .\nin william shakespeare & apos ; s final period , he wrote several tragicomedies . among these are cymbeline , the winter & apos ; s tale and the tempest . though graver in tone than the comedies , they are not the dark tragedies of king lear or macbeth because they end with reconciliation and forgiveness .\nwilliam mckinley was born january 29 , 1843 in niles , ohio . following his service in the union army during the civil war under rutherford hayes , he was drawn to service in the republican party . yellow journalism at the time urged mckinley to start a war with spain , leading to an american global empire .\nwilliam tecumseh sherman led the western union army southward through georgia . ( see primary source document : letters to w . t . sherman outlining strategy for spring 1864 . ) it worked . by mid - june , lee was pinned down at petersburg , near richmond , while sherman\u2019s army cut and rampaged through georgia and\u2026\nwilliam mckinley was born january 29 , 1843 , in niles , ohio . as a young man , he briefly attended allegheny college before taking a post as a country schoolteacher . when the civil war broke out in 1861 , mckinley enlisted in the union army ; he eventually earned the rank of brevet major of volunteers .\nmckinley won the republican presidential nomination in 1896 thanks to his congressional and gubernatorial experience , his longtime support of protectionism and the skilled maneuvering of his chief supporter , the wealthy ohio industrialist marcus alonzo hanna . in the general election , mckinley faced william jennings bryan , who ran on a platform attacking the gold standard and supporting the coinage of silver as well as gold .\nas his father was now a bailiff , young william probably attended the local grammar school . its curriculum emphasised greek classics and pupils also learned plays in latin . religious education was also important , and shakespeare drew on these sources in his later work with classical and religious allusions . shakespeare probably attended school until about age 15 . there is no record of him going to university .\nby the early 1590s , documents show william shakespeare was a managing partner in the lord chamberlain & apos ; s men , an acting company in london with which he was connected for most of his career . considered the most important troupe of its time , the company changed its name to the king & apos ; s men following the crowning of king james i , in 1603 .\nas editor , william randolph hearst adopted a sensational brand of reporting later known as\nyellow journalism ,\nwith sprawling banner headlines and hyperbolic stories , many based on speculation and half - truths . about one quarter of the page space was devoted to crime stories , but the paper also conducted investigative reports on government corruption and negligence by public institutions . in a few years , circulation increased and the paper prospered .\nby 1599 , william shakespeare and his business partners built their own theater on the south bank of the thames river , which they called the globe . in 1605 , shakespeare purchased leases of real estate near stratford for 440 pounds , which doubled in value and earned him 60 pounds a year . this made him an entrepreneur as well as an artist , and scholars believe these investments gave him the time to write his plays uninterrupted .\nby the 1920s , one in every four americans read a hearst newspaper . william randolph hearst\u2019s media empire had grown to include 20 daily and 11 sunday papers in 13 cities . he controlled the king features syndicate and the international news service , as well as six magazines , including cosmopolitan , good housekeeping and harper & apos ; s bazaar . he also ventured into motion pictures with a newsreel and a film company . he and his empire were at their zenith .\nin 1941 , young film director orson welles produced citizen kane , a thinly veiled biography of the rise and fall of william randolph hearst . nominated for nine academy awards , the film was praised for its innovative cinematography , music and narrative structure , and has subsequently been voted one of the world\u2019s greatest films . hearst was not pleased . he mustered his resources to prevent release of the film and even offered to pay for the destruction of all the prints . welles refused , and the film survived and thrived .\nit was in william shakespeare & apos ; s later period , after 1600 , that he wrote the tragedies hamlet , othello , king lear and macbeth . in these , shakespeare & apos ; s characters present vivid impressions of human temperament that are timeless and universal . possibly the best known of these plays is hamlet , which explores betrayal , retribution , incest and moral failure . these moral failures often drive the twists and turns of shakespeare & apos ; s plots , destroying the hero and those he loves .\non april 27 , 1903 , william randolph hearst married 21 - year - old millicent willson , a showgirl , in new york city . it is believed the marriage was as much a political arrangement as it was an attraction to glamour for hearst . millicent\u2019s mother reputedly ran a tammany hall\u2013connected brothel in the city , and hearst undoubtedly saw the advantage of being well - connected to the democratic center of power in new york . millicent bore hearst five sons , all of whom followed their father into the media business .\nborn in san francisco , california , on april 29 , 1863 , william randolph hearst used his wealth and privilege to build a massive media empire . a founder of\nyellow journalism ,\nhe was praised for his success and vilified by his enemies . at one point , he considered running for the u . s . presidency . the great depression took a toll on hearst & apos ; s company and his influence gradually waned , though his company survived . hearst died in beverly hills , california , in 1951 .\nfans of the crown know that william\u2019s grandfather , prince philip , faced a similar decision after his wife became queen elizabeth ii . after they were first married , philip served in the royal navy . as king george vi & apos ; s health became progressively worse , however , philip was forced to take an open - ended leave from the navy . his career officially ended when the king died , and elizabeth ascended the throne . philip became the queen\u2019s consort , and he looked for other ways to fill his time .\nhe took over management of the royal estates , helped plan elizabeth\u2019s coronation , and embarked on what would become the patronage of more than 800 charities in the following decades . he also took up flying , reportedly hoping to receive his pilot\u2019s license faster than anyone else in history . philip\u2019s aviation - related aspirations rankled the government . he was forced to curtail riskier in - air behaviors , which frustrated philip . although he continued to pilot planes , his situation mirrors william\u2019s in that they both had to remain grounded when it came to putting their royal duties first .\nin addition to nature , ehrlich draws his design inspiration from objects of the art nouveau and arts and crafts periods , both of which he collects . william morris is a particular favorite . \u201cdesigning makes you feel connected to other creators , which is really nice , \u201d he says . \u201cif you\u2019re just collecting or if you\u2019re just academically looking at things , you have a more analytical and maybe judgmental attitude toward it , but you don\u2019t feel connected to the creative spirit in the same way . this takes you into a much more intimate relationship with that earlier process . \u201d\nwith the exception of the tragic love story romeo and juliet , william shakespeare & apos ; s first plays were mostly histories . henry vi ( parts i , ii and iii ) , richard ii and henry v dramatize the destructive results of weak or corrupt rulers , and have been interpreted by drama historians as shakespeare & apos ; s way of justifying the origins of the tudor dynasty . julius caesar portrays upheaval in roman politics that may have resonated with viewers at a time when england\u2019s aging monarch , queen elizabeth i , had no legitimate heir , thus creating the potential for future power struggles .\nafter his flameout in politics , william randolph hearst returned full - time to his publishing business . in 1917 , hearst\u2019s roving eye fell upon ziegfeld follies showgirl marion davies , and by 1919 he was openly living with her in california . that same year , hearst\u2019s mother , phoebe , died , leaving him the family\u2019s fortune , which included a 168 , 000 - acre ranch in san simeon , california . over the next several decades , hearst spent millions of dollars expanding the property , building a baroque - style castle , filling it with european artwork , and surrounding it with exotic animals and plants .\nwilliam shakespeare & apos ; s early plays were written in the conventional style of the day , with elaborate metaphors and rhetorical phrases that didn & apos ; t always align naturally with the story & apos ; s plot or characters . however , shakespeare was very innovative , adapting the traditional style to his own purposes and creating a freer flow of words . with only small degrees of variation , shakespeare primarily used a metrical pattern consisting of lines of unrhymed iambic pentameter , or blank verse , to compose his plays . at the same time , there are passages in all the plays that deviate from this and use forms of poetry or simple prose .\nin 1900 , william randolph hearst followed his father & apos ; s example and entered politics . having established newspapers in several more cities , including chicago , boston and los angeles , he began his quest for the u . s . presidency , spending $ 2 million in the process . the journey didn & apos ; t last long . hearst did win election to the house of representatives in 1902 and 1904 . however , maintaining his media empire while also running for mayor of new york city and governor of new york left him little time to actually serve in congress . angered colleagues and voters retaliated and he lost both new york races , ending his political career .\nwith the success of the examiner , william randolph hearst set his sights on larger markets and his former idol , now rival , joseph pulitzer . he purchased the new york morning journal ( formerly owned by pulitzer ) in 1895 , and a year later began publishing the evening journal . he strove to win the circulation wars by employing the same brand of journalism he had at the examiner . competition was fierce , with hearst cutting the newspaper\u2019s price to one cent . pulitzer countered by matching that price . hearst retaliated by raiding the world \u2019s staff , offering higher salaries and better positions . by 1897 , hearst\u2019s two new york papers had bested pulitzer , with a combined circulation of 1 . 5 million .\nare you ready for skyscraper ? we are ! see which other movies and tv shows we ' re excited about .\n- murder with too many notes ( 2000 ) . . .

'\nand the setup was unique . audiences knew from the start whom the murderer was \u2014 in fact , the opening act would follow the murderer as he or she planned the crime and executed it . so the fun was to watch the battle of wits between columbo and the culprit , because the murderer would never guess that the quirky columbo would be smart enough to solve the case . whenever one heard him say ,\njust one more thing ,\naudiences knew he had gotten his man .\nsealing the deal , though , was peter falk ' s brilliant , multi - emmy - winning performance as the lapd detective . he transformed the character into a household name first in two tv movies : 1967 ' s\nprescription : murder\nand 1971 ' s\nransom for a dead man ,\nthen in an nbc series , which ran from 1971to ' 77 . it was resurrected in 1989 on abc , where it continued through 1993 . falk is 82 and continued working until a few years ago .\nthat was falk ' s own ill - fitting raincoat he wore during the run of the series , ditto the shapeless green suit and old shoes . levinson once told the press , in fact , that their show had the cheapest wardrobe outside of big bird on\nsesame street .\nbesides\ncolumbo ,\nthey created 13 more on - air series , including\nmurder , she wrote ,\nmannix ,\nmccloud ,\nellery queen\nand\nthe bold ones .\nthey also wrote the groundbreaking 1972 abc tv movie\nthat certain summer ,\nstarring hal holbrook as a divorced father with a teenage son ( scott jacoby ) who informs his son that he is gay . martin sheen plays holbrook ' s lover .\nthe two came up with the idea after learning that one of their gay friends at universal had been married , had a son and then came out of the closet . after having lunch with their friend ,\ni said to dick , ' you know there is a drama about a man who leaves his wife because he comes out of the closet but his son doesn ' t know how to deal with the fact that his father is gay .

up was obviously no easy task . you can tell that they both put their all into this production and it shows in the finished product . hopefully with their future outings they continue to explore new approaches and stories to provide us with movies that astound . if the ending was approached in a different manner livid would be a gem but the finale really takes you out of the story and takes the movie down a couple of notches .\nthe rider is a stunningly - shot film , its crisp imagery and livid sound design in natural harmony with piece and its south dakota settings . on a purely narrative level , zhao\u2019s story may strain as it edges down familiar routes , but its emotional connections pulsate throughout , making this a natural for festival and arthouse play to zhao\u2019s growing fanbase . her approach to fictionalised biography should also be embraced , as it continues to break new ground .\nthen , at the halfway mark , the film delves into the backstory of the old lady , and everything goes to shit . it seems that the filmmakers just had a\u2026\nspeaking to dna , the producer of kaabil and hrithik ' s father rakesh roshan said ,\nwhatever dates we are taking , they are following us . i would have never done the same . i belong to an old school of filmmaking and i have given 50 years of my life to the industry . i would never release my film on a day when another filmmaker has already announced their film . i decided to remove krrish 4 also from christmas 2018 because i saw srk ' s film is coming that day . i could have easily released my film with befikre or even with dangal if i had to clash . but when i announced the film in february , i saw a clean window in january and hence i picked the date . i can ' t get into this new groove of things because i don ' t understand it .\nwe have three reviews for the film that started with my positive one out of the tiff 2011 world premiere . david harley also liked the film , when it screened at the 2011 fantastic fest , where brad hargue didn\u2019t agree . i would have loved to see an english -

but this snap is the first professional image of the entire cast to come from the upcoming film .\nso i haven\u2019t really watched too many international horror films before , and i can see how it may put people off more than other subtitled film genres may do . a horror film is designed to frighten you , to allow you to be so absorbed into a story that you can\u2019t help to start getting anxious , this is why horror films such as the innkeepers , paranormal activity , and other such horror films . they invite you in and start off slowly , allowing you to relax into the film before starting with the scares .\nthe film is actually the story of co -

porn genre to be alive and well in france , it\u2019s comforting to see a different sort of horror trope used this time around \u2013 one whose roots lie less with eli roth or rob zombie than with the likes of dario argento and guillermo del toro . that said , and despite some moments of chilling beauty , livid is a somewhat benign enterprise , and never builds enough momentum to keep viewers interested , let alone terrified .\nthe film begins to develop more from there , as we learn that jessel isn\u2019t in as much of a coma as first thought , and that her long thought to be dead deaf daughter , is actually a vampire , who was raised by the strict jessel , a former dance instructor . i won\u2019t go into much more because it\u2019s well worth going to see the film yourself .\nguy is on tonight ' s show with charlie hunnam - who stars as king arthur in his film - , as well as actress billie piper , comedian jason manford and singer imelda may .\nlivid ( livide ) manages to subvert this because it is , in part , an art film , as well as a supernatural horror . the scares aren\u2019t so forward and announced , and instead the anxiety of the piece comes at you over the course of the film , whilst developing the story and characters in a way that other horror films may not be able to . in fact , to go off on a slight tangent , in joss whedon\u2019s \u2018cabin in the woods\u2019 , which could also be called : \u2018horror deconstructed : the movie\u2019 , we see that the monsters of the piece were chosen from a selection of wide variety of generic horror monsters , and are given only a few lines of backstory .\na source added that the stunt dreamed up by the film\u2019s co -

ruining what may have been a great story .\nthere are certain conventions expected in horror films . there ' s a reason for this as they make the film scary . this film lacks many of these so although it looks great , for much of the running time it has no effective tension or fear . some of the elegant music also acts against creating a tense atmosphere . when the horror hits , these scenes are very effective and gruesome ( though i don ' t think an 18 was necessary given its fantastical nature ) .\nthere is an aspect around moths\u2026 which was nice . they are shown as a vehicle for a vampire\u2019s soul and this fits in very well with some folklore that shows the moth or the butterfly as the vampire\u2019s soul \u2013 as was explored in the film\nif you like your fast paced fright - fests , then this isn\u2019t the film for you . it runs at a slower pacing , and the horror and gore factors aren\u2019t too strong . however , if you enjoy a more developed story with supernatural horror elements , and don\u2019t mind subtitles , then this is a film that i can recommend . the slower - paced and more developed storyline may alienate more hard - core horror fans , and for those who may enjoy it will still have to face a disappointing ending .\ntechnological problems were at the heart of the difficult adoption of colour by the film industry in the 1930s up to the 1960s . most studios perceived the technique as defaulting and were not prepared to make the change to a process seen as tricky and unsteady . the birth of technicolor in 1915 is remembered as a decisive event in the history of coloured films . founded by herbert kalmus , it introduced film - makers to the two - colour subtractive process , where two negatives capturing red and green lights were placed back to back .\nwhere livid falters is the final act . there are some beautifully horrific and disturbing parts in the final third but an added plot point detours the movie and leads to a finale that comes off as unintentionally comedic and had me laughing . this change in tone and direction really takes the viewer off track and not in the desired way . maybe something is lost in translation ; this shift might have a meaning in other cultures or areas of the world . however , as a states - side viewer it took what could have been a solid love letter to several horror sub - genres and threw in a side of fantasy therefore negating what should have been a darker ending that leaves the viewer a bit stunned . as opposed to wanting to re - watch the final act of livid i constantly questioned why the final ten minutes were even included .\nthere were a few issues with the theme of livid , while the story seems to have taken a turn for the worse in the final few scenes , losing it ' s cohesive fluidity , i have to wonder if it was the writer ' s intention to have multiple fantastical plots or if there was a disconnect in the poor translation from french to english in the subtitles . the movie was full of literal translations which\u2026\nand ashley , specifically , is night and day in this film compared to awkward , both in the role\u2019s physical demands and the creep - out factor it requires . [ laughs . ] you know , ashley is very serious about what she does . she\u2019s the youngest of everyone in the cast , besides ava [ acres ] , the little girl . ashley had been in an independent film [ fly away ] that played at sxsw a couple years back , and she plays an autistic character in it . i had seen that film when her name came up for my movie , and i could tell from that performance that she\u2019s really committed , and , sure enough , you\u2019d turn on the camera and ashley would immediately go so hard . it was crazy\u2014she\u2019d be possessed , literally and figuratively .\nin the light of these words , we understand that people assumed colour was incompatible with film\u2019s other practices and would therefore radically change the nature of cinema . colour would also have an impact on human sight and health , and disrupt the audience\u2019s vision . screen colour was apprehended in a total different form than human natural vision , and people did not believe that film could expose colour as we see it every day . film director john huston said that \u2018colour in nature is very different from colour on screen\u2019 9 as it appeared too bright and too vivid . it lacked subtlety and definition , and did not provide natural effects , but instead \u2018isolated objects with an effect of verisimilitude\u2019 and gave birth to \u2018travesties , unreal compositions in which things look either too real to be credible or definitely unreal\u2019 10 .\n' livide ' holds its position as a horror film in the middle of full blown gore and a hair - raising back story . directors alexandre bustillo and julien maury have come a long way from their faulty yet effectively repulsive and distressing ' inside , 2007 ' .\ngenre busting : screenwriter jay cocks described the film as a\nwestern from mars\n, it ' s a re - imagining of the past as a post - apocalyptic wasteland , with violent urban street gangs in a context with real menace and violence rather than west side story , and a focus and interest on urban segregation that would make sociologists and anthropologists proud . scorsese indeed hoped that the film would launch a new genre to replace the western , believing that stories in this landscape will have increasing resonance in the years to come .\nboth working in film production , combined with expanding and fine tuning my creative eye , i have gained abilities to produce my own short artistic videos . wishing to further my skills and experience , working in production in an event is always an interest i wish to pursue .\nthe use of colour techniques rocketed for a while ; 51 % of all us films were shot in colour , but it dropped again to 21 % in the mid - 1950s as the film industry established a commercial entente with television . it sold old films to tv channels , and since it could only be shown in black - and - white , the film industry didn\u2019t bother shooting new coloured - features , believing this contract would last for a long time . but when television itself switched to colour in the mid - 1960s , it could only follow it , and the transition was completed , turning colour into a standard . economic reasons played an essential part in the difficult adaptation to colour film ; but the slow demand was nurtured by aesthetical doubts as people did not believe in the potential of screen colour .\nwhat is the point of trying to make heads or tails of anything here or even looking for any sense if it is clear that the directors are only thinking about aesthetics and creating gorgeous set pieces ? besides , the film is completely unscary and just a pile of ridiculous clich\u00e9s .\nyou had a potential oscar - winning film with maybe the best script in hollywood but because you\u2019re a coward and a dumb c\u2014 you now have an untested , second - time director and an arrogant , lazy , aging action star that will run that poor kid into the ground .\nepic movie : this was to be scorsese ' s epic movie , and chef d ' ouevre . executive meddling caused it to be cut down some , and the acting of the romantic leads has led to mixed critical reception . it ' s nevertheless every inch an epic film though .\ndigital still can\u2019t reproduce every color . digital is only a facsimile . just like a fax , it can only reproduce so much . my nephew is in the digital theater projection industry and he tells me that they are still adding colors to the digital process . film was so much better .\nremaking a film that reigns as one of the most disturbing ever would challenge any director . the original \u201cmartyrs\u201d begins as a home invasion film , as lucie and anna , young women who met as children at an orphanage , seek revenge on the family that imprisoned and tortured one of them 15 years ago . but as their plan takes a merciless turn , anna plummets into a world dominated by a shadowy organization with bloodthirsty ideas about divine suffering . in one bloodcurdling scene anna is immobilized and her back is flayed ; the camera lingers on her face as she reacts to the pain .\nfrom mr . disgusting\u2019s ( quite positive ) review , \u201c livid is not going to make fans of inside happy . in fact , i expect most of you to despise it with pure venom . but i implore you all to manage your expectations , shift your thinking , and go in with a clear mind . my hope is that you\u2019ll find a place in your heart for this moody art house horror pic , one that\u2019s sure to be trashed across the board . \u201d\nmob war : the dead rabbits ( and later resurrected dead rabbits ) vs . bill ' s nativists are a pretty hard - core , tribal version of this . unusual for representations of this kind of conflict in film , it ends with the authorities barging in and massacring ( almost ) everybody .\nin livid , we see the monster of the piece developed in a way we rarely do in british or american horrors . sometimes this works to the films advantage , such as with the aforementioned paranormal activity series , which throughout the first film kept the secret behind the supernatural creature mostly a secret , only really stating that it\u2019s a demon . this works well for the series because the less we knew of the demon and its reasons behind terrorising katie ( the protagonist ) . as the series goes on , especially in the third instalment , we find out more about the demon and its reasons , and i felt this somewhat ruined the scariness of it , because something that terrorises for no reason is much scarier than something which does have reasons , because it then becomes more relatable .\nthe rule was the last petal falls and it ' s end game . nada . the beast is a beast forever . well , not quite . in the 1991 film the rose is a goner and belle has not yet said she loves the beast , but he begins to change once she utters the words .\nthis can apply to a number of things in the movie ; modern audiences can be shocked and appalled by how new york really was in the 1860 ' s , looking at modern new york now it ' s almost unbelievable . and yet the film , though taking a few creative liberties , is largely accurate .\nonce the corpse dances all hell breaks loose , though lucie realises that the girl with her eyes pinned shut is not actually a corpse ( rather she is undead ) . in flashback we see that anna ( and her mother ) are vampires but her mother \u2013 pushing her dancing \u2013 broke her back and then added in a mechanical device to make her a permanent ballerina . i don\u2019t want to spoil too much here on in as it is a surrealist nightmare that should be experienced but it is also from here that i have seen issues raised about the film on imbd so want to look at these , as it is from here that the film becomes slightly flawed .\nlivid\u2019s plot is a relatively simple one . after hearing of an old woman\u2019s fortune during her first day working as a home nurse , lucy with her boyfriend ; william and his brother ; ben , decide to break in and swipe the treasure . the treasure belongs to an old woman who lives in the house , although in a cerebral coma , named jessel . however , shortly after breaking into the house , weird things begin to happen , and the three soon realise they are unable to leave\u2026 so far , so clich\u00e9d , correct ?\nall of this is set against the backdrop of the american civil war and political corruption of the 19th century . the feel of the era is firmly established through small touches , such as bill ' s gang mocking a theatre performance of uncle toms cabin , and the rampant racism of civil war america is prevalent throughout the film . bill maintains most of his power through an uneasy alliance with the tammany hall political machine ; a critical turning point occurs when amsterdam wins tammany to his side by promising him the irish vote . the film ' s climax occurs as the new york draft riots break out and the u . s . government resorts to violence to stop the insurrection .\nquite simply is the fast and furious franchise , the best , worst movies ever made ? i believe they are . the latest instalment furious 7 is full of unbelievable action , choppy acting and chock full of clich\u00e9d dialogue . that ' s not to say these films don ' t look great , because they do ! these unrealistic action pieces are so beautifully shot and executed much to the credit of james wan ( the conjuring ) . another highlight of the film and franchise as a whole is the diverse cast , making it easily accessible to a wide audience . as much as i wanted to enjoy this film , being paul walker ' s last film , i cannot give it a glowing recommendation . however , this doesn ' t mean you shouldn ' t see it , its a great two hours of brainless fun and thrills and the touching montage to paul walker at the end is well worth the admission and possible tears . however , if you ' re looking for realism and a solid story this is not your movie . 2 / 5\nthe film , \u201c revolves around a young home nursing aide who works in a remote country estate and discovers that her comatose patient may have hidden her fortune somewhere in the house . the nursing aide returns with her friends to search for the loot , and they become trapped in the house with an old woman who may not be as sick as she appeared . \u201c\nanother technical issue was the lack of compatibility between colour and other cinematic technologies \u2013 for instance , deep - focus was out of the question . the variety of camera tricks became limited as directors were more concerned about displaying a convincing colour - film and were not enough experienced to assemble complex camera work with technicolor . technical limitations discouraged directors to fully adopt screen colour . it complicated film - making and restrained their creativity . yet technicolor did open the way to colour films , and the complete transition , as hard as it was technically , did occur . technicolor rose during the 1930s - 40s , and films like disney\u2019s flowers and trees ( 1932 ) , la cucaracha ( 1934 ) or gone with the wind ( 1939 ) won academy awards .\nbustillo : i think our next movie will be in english because like julien said , it\u2019s so difficult to find money . we searched for 4 years to the find money for livid in france . during this time hollywood sent us maybe 60 or 70 projects with a high budget . for example platinum dunes offered us to direct the new nightmare on elm street . we were at the top of the list when they finished the script . they sent it to us immediately , but we said no because we prefer to have no money and freedom . a low budget is the price of freedom .\nthe first half of the film is an incredibly effective haunted house movie with a pretty standard set up of a young nurse who ' s put in charge of caring for an old lady in a creepy house . it looks great and has mad atmosphere and there ' s a couple of references that horror fans will pick up on . cool , i ' m with it .\none of the most serious fear about using colour was that it would distract the viewer from important elements within a film , like the narrative or the performance . using colour meant exploiting the set , costumes , make - up and props , therefore granting the spectator with more visual information and giving him the chance to focus on specific details . colour was seen as distracting from the story and unsuited for intense dramas . it was commonly used in light - hearted genres like westerns , musicals or cartoons . black - and - white was favoured for darker dramas and was treated very distinctly from colour . the academy awards for example had two separate categories , one for best black - and - white film and one for best colour - feature . even herbert kalmus said :"]}

free marriage to tom ( adam scott ) and her latent disappointment in leaving her legal career to become a full - time parent .\nhere is the synopsis : four moms , whose only common ground is their kids\u2019 preschool class , decide to get together for a harmless \u201cfun mom dinner . \u201d the night begins as a disaster , but the combination of alcohol , karaoke , and a cute bartender , leads to an unforgettable night where these seemingly different women realize they have more in common than motherhood and men .\nso i am exactly the target audience for \u201cfun mom dinner , \u201d about a group of ladies who get together for shenanigans on a school night . i\u2019m also a fan of the strong , comic cast , including katie aselton , toni collette , molly shannon , adam scott , rob huebel and paul rudd . but this combination of predispositions makes the movie even more of a letdown .\noffering fitfully dirty fun to a game quartet of actresses , this light farce knows which side of its gluten - free bread is buttered .\nintro to reception - straight into 1st dance - thank you speech to our guests - dinner served - greeted each table - toasts as dinner was wrapping up - straight into father / daughter dance - straight into cutting the cake - dancing the rest of the night .\n\u201cfour moms ( toni collette , molly shannon , bridget everett , and katie aselton ) , whose only common ground is their kids\u2019 preschool class , get together for a harmless \u2018fun mom dinner . \u2019 when the night suddenly takes an unexpected turn , these unlikely new friends realize they have more in common that just marriage and motherhood . together , they reclaim a piece of the women they used to be . \u201d\nat our wedding we walked in and went right to the first dance . then mingled then right before dinner we did the uncle niece dance\noff - screen , collette , shannon , everett and aselton are mounds of fun . i met them in new york this week , where they were saddled with nonstop interviews . seated around a conference table at a luxe manhattan hotel , the women swapped stories about appearing with various real housewives on \u201cwatch what happens live , \u201d railed against t . j . miller\u2019s recent huffpost interview , wondered how josef fritzl\u2019s wife didn\u2019t know what he was doing in their basement , compared \u201cfun mom dinner\u201d to \u201cwonder woman\u201d and emphasized how tired they are of the typical \u201cwomen in hollywood\u201d questions .\nwhile good company might make or break a night out , sadly it can ' t save\nfun mom dinner\nfrom being more than just fitfully funny . this raunchy , female - driven comedy should be able to rely on the strength of its cast , but even the collective talents of katie aselton , toni collette , molly shannon and bridget everett aren ' t enough to make the movie worth a babysitter ' s hourly rate .\nelsewhere , a subplot involving the left - behind dads stays both amusing and real , with parenting disasters that include screaming babies and an ill - timed locked door . rudd\u2019s script doesn\u2019t shy from the more unpleasant aspects of parenthood , but a bent towards cheap laughs diminishes even its wisest touches . when \u201cfun mom dinner\u201d avoids opting into silly gags and strange plot movements that only mine for passing laughs , it works , and works well .\nnow i have to look up chileqiulles and see what they are , lol . the movie sounds fun ( hence the name , i know ) . \ud83d\ude09\nwhile emily and her family are new to the local fancy - pants private school , emily has a connection in kate ( collette ) , her high school best friend who is dealing with her own parenting issues . when emily is asked out to a \u201cfun mom dinner\u201d by the overinvolved melanie ( everett ) and the single and social media - obsessed jamie ( molly shannon ) , she jumps at the chance to do something different . wacky hijinks ensue .\nthe dinner honors connie britton , jay duplass , laura prepon , barbara kopple , kelly preston , and more notable talent at the kia supper suite .\nbut jones and rudd make the mistake of cutting that tension too quickly . it could have been a source of comic conflict for a while . instead , the ladies quickly connect over way too many glasses of wine ( and other substances ) over a long night of barhopping . \u201cfun mom dinner\u201d cuts back and forth between their adventures and the comparatively tame night their husbands\u2014andrew and tom , specifically\u2014are having as they watch the kids and bond in the backyard over stolen halloween candy .\nbut \u201cfun mom dinner\u201d is a meal of savory appetizers , not hearty cuisine \u2014 it works ( or occasionally doesn\u2019t ) on a moment - to - moment basis , and some of those moments are pretty damn tasty . if you find nothing to smile at in collette and aselton launching into a drunken , full - lunged karaoke rendition of nena\u2019s \u201c99 luftballons , \u201d or a gurning shannon taking one failed attempt after another at a sexy tinder selfie , or paul rudd ( the writer\u2019s husband ) turning up as an hipster artisan marijuana dealer ( \u201cwe call this one the ruth bader ganja , because it gives you a supreme high\u201d ) , then it\u2019s safe to say \u201cfun mom dinner , \u201d with its sitcom timing and antiseptic score , isn\u2019t your jam . for everyone else , it should slip down as easily as a screw - top bottle of supermarket red . unlike the red , however , there\u2019ll be nothing to remind you of it in the morning .\nthe plot kind of make it sound like a rehash of mom\u2019s night out but with an older cast . well , am willing to give it a try .\ni really wanted it to be kind of a love letter to moms ,\nrudd told et .\nbecause i , as a mom , just found myself with this amazing group of mom friends that i met and i was surprised by how important they became in my life and how understood they made me feel .\npsst . have you heard ? on big screens across the nation women are behaving badly , really badly . and now , bringing up the rear of this summer raunch parade led by \u201csnatched , \u201d \u201crough night\u201d and \u201cgirls trip , \u201d comes the rather tame \u201cfun mom dinner . \u201d these mothers just want a night off for boozy shenanigans and some smoking in the girls\u2019 room , which , of course , leads to harmless karaoke antics , mild flirtations , an instagram faux pas and pot - induced paranoia .\nthe julie rudd - scripted picture marks the directing debut of alethea jones , and it stars katie aselton , toni collette , bridget everett , molly shannon , adam scott and adam levine . the logline : four women , whose kids attend the same preschool class , get together for a \u201cfun mom dinner . \u201d when the night takes an unexpected turn , these unlikely new friends realize they have more in common than just marriage and motherhood . together , they reclaim a piece of the women they used to be .\npromised to be a great dinner party benefitting operation smile , the chefdance series invites guests , companies , and premier chefs to their perfect marriage of food and film in an exclusive setting at the memorial building on main street . invited attendees are to enjoy a menu prepared by chef cat cora . the dinner series runs jan . 20 through\nyour mom\u2019s on the b team ? that stinks ! good for you for standing up for your mom . but you also need to step back and think of the bride . is there a money problem ? is it an issue of space ? you can\u2019t know unless you ask , but do you really want to become part of the problem on her special day ? i\u2019d swallow this one . put your arm around your mom and say \u201clet\u2019s write this off as bride anxiety\u201d and go out together for a nice lunch .\nintroduction ; first dance ; toasts ; dinner ; father / daughter dance ; mother / son dance ; general dancing ; cake cutting ; bouquet toss ; garter toss ; more dancing .\nsome movies can pull off the gender swap beautifully : \u201c bridesmaids , \u201d \u201c bad moms \u201d and the recent smash \u201c girls trip \u201d are prime examples of hard - r comedies that also deftly blended substance and heart . others , like \u201c snatched \u201d and \u201c rough night , \u201d strained to shock us and ultimately felt desperate and empty . \u201cfun mom dinner\u201d unfortunately falls into the latter category . it\u2019s about both fellatio jokes and falling in love all over again , but it\u2019s so rushed and the characters are so underdeveloped that the film feels frustratingly slight .\nseven years ago , my brother died . his wife is getting remarried , and my mother insists someone from our family attend the wedding . mom\u2019s too emotional to go but wants me to instead . i said no \u2014 i was never close to the wife , and there are no kids . mom is making me feel guilty . what\u2019s the etiquette here ? \u2014 wedding wary\njamie likes to plan \u201cfun mom dinners\u201d from time to time : \u201clots of wine , no kids , \u201d she promises perkily . when she and melanie invite emily to join them , emily naturally invites along her longtime pal , kate , even though she\u2019s too cool for such joiner activities . actually , emily tricks kate into coming , which makes things tense from the get - go .\nfun mom dinner\nmeans well , with its messages about the stress of trying for parental perfection , forging an identity beyond motherhood and creating female friendships . but first - time feature director alethea jones and screenwriter julie rudd have made a film that meanders as its characters do , and its aimlessness doesn ' t serve these women or the plot well . whether the problem lies with the script or the editing , the movie leaves out key moments that would serve as connective tissue , uniting these fast friends and their narrative beyond a string of giggle - inducing line deliveries .\njulie rudd : i wanted to take the experiences of being a mom and have it more front and center in a comedy than it had been prior to bad moms , for sure . i think moms had been a stereotypical side joke in the comedies about guys , so i thought it would be fun to make a movie about moms , where the moms are having some fun . it was also important to me that they felt like real people and they felt like real moms and they were the right age to be the moms that they were . and i think that we pulled it off !\nskinless , boneless chicken breasts are pounded thin , rolled around fresh spears of asparagus with mozzarella cheese , and baked for an easy spring dinner that ' s ready in less than an hour .\nfollowing the screening of the film , director kogonada toasts with stars haley lu richardson , parker posey , michelle forbes , rory culkin , and john cho over dinner at the kia supper suite .\nserve your caprese salad on toothpicks for a fun , easy appetizer . it takes just a few minutes to thread mozzarella balls , cherry tomatoes , and fresh basil leaves onto the picks and drizzle with olive oil .\nthe kia supper suite hosts a cast dinner with elle fanning , michelle monaghan , blake jenner , logan lerman , christina brucato , margaret qualley , kyle chandler , tim blake nelson , and nathan lane .\nby the film\u2019s second half , however , its early promise has devolved . the story becomes reliant on unlikely twists including a trip to a pot dispensary that seems to exist only for surface - level laughs and an unfortunate visit to a bar run by adam levine , who takes a quick shine to emily . abandoning its relatable chuckles and insights in order to deliver sequences involving everett and colette plunging into the ocean ( seriously , get these two a buddy cop comedy right now ) , shannon meeting cute with an uncomfortable paul rust and a flat - out insane party with text - obsessed teens , \u201cfun mom dinner\u201d ends its once - promising start with a whimper .\nwhile these four women become great friends in fun mom dinner , it\u2019s obvious they became friends in making the movie and i\u2019m thinking there had to be as many laughs during filming as there are on the screen itself because all of them are so funny ! i have been a molly shannon fan forever , beginning with her snl years , and if you haven\u2019t yet seen bridget everett\u2019s videos on youtube , they are hilarious ( but definitely nsfw and you want to be sure your kids aren\u2019t looking over your shoulder while you watch . ) and while those two are primarily known for being funny women , toni collette and katie aselton showed how funny they can be as well !\nmy best friend is getting married , and i\u2019m one of her bridesmaids . she\u2019s planning to invite my parents to the wedding\u2014not with the first set of invitations but with a second set , after some of the initial invitees say they can\u2019t attend . in the ten years the bride and i have been friends , my mom has been a close and caring supporter . i am truly hurt , and i\u2019m sure my mom will be too . am i overreacting ? \u2013daughter first\nthe lodge is open to members as well as other invited press and industry execs for a fun apres ski party at the main street lodge , sponsored by a new networking app called plexus . specialty cocktails will be provided by high west distillery .\nwhile such individual antics are lame , \u201cfun mom dinner\u201d also makes the repeated mistake of banging us over the head with its running gags and needlessly spelling everything out , making the movie feel longer than its 81 minutes . it\u2019s not enough to have the foursome giggle over vajazzling during their night out on the town ; the ladies also describe this intimate art form in detail before gawking at ( and showing us ) a graphic instagram photo of it . it\u2019s not enough to have them ooh and ahh over the hunky jake ryan character in \u201c sixteen candles \u201d ( because truly , who wouldn\u2019t ? ) ; they also over - explain his allure , which should be clear to the viewers this movie is geared toward .\nthe annual benefit kicks off the first day of the festival with director jeff orlowski set as keynote speaker . the private cocktail reception and dinner follows the premiere of 45th vice president al gore \u2018s \u201can inconvenient sequel\u201d at the eccles theatre .\nbeatriz at dinner / u . s . a .

( in one of the more pointed jabs at gender inequality in rudd\u2019s otherwise breezy script , emily and her husband squabble when he refers to his evening\u2019s work as \u201cbabysitting\u201d \u2014 parents don\u2019t babysit their own children , she tartly counters . )\ntoni collette and molly shannon lead a feisty mom group that includes bridget everett ( \u201cpatti cake $ \u201d ) and katie aselton ( \u201cthe gift\u201d ) . the rest of the cast is like a who\u2019s who of indie comedy : adam scott , rob huebel , paul rudd , paul rust , and john early round it out . there\u2019s even a bartending adam levine thrown in there . in this short glimpse , we see collette playing against type as kate , the mom who thinks she\u2019s too good for the group festivities . the actresses have great chemistry ; with shannon as the friendly one , everett as the sassy one , and aselton as the amiable one caught in the middle .\nher nemesis is melanie ( comedian bridget everett ) , the intensely involved and just plain intense school volunteer who runs the drop - off lane like a tight ship . ( every parent has met this person at some point . ) melanie\u2019s best friend is shannon\u2019s jamie , a divorced , single mom who tends to overshare on social media to project the image that everything is awesome . the newcomer to school is aselton\u2019s emily , a childhood friend of kate\u2019s . a former lawyer , emily is now adjusting to life as a stay - at - home mom and suffering through a sexless marriage to tom ( scott ) , who describes watching the couple\u2019s two kids for the night as \u201cbabysitting . \u201d\nyou know , when you ' re a mom , you don ' t have a lot of time . sometimes the simple things become really exciting , like going into a rite aid or a walgreens , going in for one thing and then it ' s like ,\noh my god , there ' s a million things in here !\ni love that as seen on tv section , and i thought , how hysterical would it be if these moms had a moment where they go into a walgreens and when they walk out , we realize that they all had that mom moment where they bought things they absolutely did not need ? and she did that with the unicorn onesie !\nreally liked this movie . its just fun and cute , nice humor . all the time watching i was smiling . i think the creators didn ' t even want it to be\nrealistic\n, its a comedy and a comedy makes you laugh / smile - i like that . so for those looking for something silly and sweet - this is a go .\nperhaps we\u2019re meant to think their night out isn\u2019t outrageous , or even enviably fun , and just pathetic . when they go to a seemingly hip bar , and adam levine shows up as temptation in skinny jeans , maybe we are supposed to scoff at the on - the - nose nature of it all . when he surprises the fun moms with a karaoke jam , maybe we\u2019re expected to be incredulous when they have no problem belting out \u201c99 luftballons\u201d in german . maybe lead - weight jokes like \u201cwe\u2019re sticking together like sister wives\u201d and saying they\u2019ll get \u201csupremely high\u201d on marijuana called \u201cruth bader ganja\u201d , isn\u2019t intended to be funny . which would be good , because they play like lame dad jokes , landing with a groan instead of a laugh .\nthe kia supper suite dining experience features \u201cbushwick\u201d directors jonathan milott and cary murnion along with dave bautista and brittany snow ; \u201ckuso\u201d director flying lotus in addition to star hannibal buress ; as well as \u201cxx\u201d directors roxanne benjamin and sofia carrillo with star melanie lynskey . presented by maestro dobel tequila , the gourmet dinner party is prepared by chef john murcko at his newly opened restaurant , firewood .\nwith a cast like this\u2014and supporting appearances from rob huebel , paul rust , david wain , and paul rudd\u2014this should be an outrageous fun , goosing our mundane concepts of parents , reveling in the wild nights that still might be possible . but the script from julie yaeger rudd ( yes , paul rudd\u2019s wife ) never gives these ready - to - cut loose moms anything all that exciting to do . the mom squad shares a joint in a restaurant bathroom , then runs out on the bill after accidentally setting off the sprinkler system . it\u2019s a timid start , but hey maybe something spicy will happen next . or maybe they\u2019ll go to walgreen\u2019s because someone has a gift card and a hankering for cheetos .

so , in many ways , we enter the story through her perspective and katie aselton , i don ' t know - - she just has such a real quality . she has a little toughness , but also a tenderness . she is so many things , and so to have her be that anchor in the middle is great . i think a lot of women will see a piece of themselves in her .\nmolly shannon could do anything and could have played any part in this movie . just having her around , she ' s so funny - - she ' s such an amazing comedian - - and playing jamie , this divorced mom , i think she brought a real tenderness to the part that is so nice to see her do . and to be sort of a little shy . in a way , it was against what you ' d think molly would be in this movie , and i always like when somebody surprises me . her character is recently divorced , so she ' s at that moment where she is thinking about maybe getting out there and starting to date again , but of course she ' s afraid and it ' s all new to her .\nset in an unspecified corner of suburban los angeles , the kind of neighborhood where the families own suvs , have big lots and are mostly white , the story revolves around four families whose kids all go to the same cozy elementary school . harried mother - of - two emily ( katie aselton ) was a high - powered lawyer before she met husband tom ( adam scott ) . however , now they\u2019ve grown so distant and exhausted by parenthood , he can barely bring himself to kiss her on the mouth as he leaves in the morning . and that\u2019s before her toddler throws the contents of his diaper in her face . dope - smoking mom - of - four - boys kate ( toni collette ) , on the other hand , emily\u2019s best friend since college , has found a way to keep the love alive with her husband andrew ( rob huebel ) , thanks mostly to her willingness to dispense fellatio during commercial breaks and not giving a shit who she offends with her smart - ass ways .\ni have so many ! i mean , the whole thing is such a dream come true for me . i have loved movies my entire life . my sister and i , when we were kids , would have our own little movie festivals like , this week we ' re going to watch a bunch of jack lemmon movies . next week , we ' re going to do bette davis . watching the oscars as a kid was such a big deal in my house . so , for me to walk on the set of a movie and think ,\nthis is a movie that i wrote ,\nit ' s like a fairy tale . it ' s my little girl dreams coming true . and doing it with naomi scott , who is one of my closest friends , and to have fun with our husbands doing it , and just for it to have gotten into sundance - - i mean , there ' s been 70 pinch - me moments . i ' m red and bruised all over from all the pinch - me moments i ' ve had ."]}

jar jar cute sidekicks . quite a bit of the movie is spent watching these guys do silly things . at the very least , though , the performers are good for what they\u2019re doing . warwick davis , the child actor who famously portrayed the main ewok in return of the jedi , returns as wicket , and he\u2019s clearly into the role , but it\u2019s really hard to find fault in what is ultimately a pantomime performance . the other actors in the ewok costumes are just as good as can be expected , and i guess when you put them next to the two human leads in this film , they do actually manage to come off as somewhat charming creatures .\nwicket w . warrick is a fictional character from the star wars franchise , first introduced and portrayed by warwick davis in the 1983 film return of the jedi . he subsequently appeared in two made - for - television movies , an animated series , and promotional media for star wars from 1983 to 1986 . wicket is a diminutive teddy bear - like creature known as an ewok , living on the forest moon of endor and eventually participating in the battle of endor as an ally of the rebel alliance .\nthe hell with rogue one , han solo , obi -

faced monster ( the gorax ) , the children are found by the an ewok and they all make friends and eventually go on a quest to rescue the parents from the mouse - faced monster . the film debuted as a holiday television special , airing on abc on november 25 , 1984 and was released overseas in the cinema .\nbrogan : the ewoks\u2019 language acquisition in this film may be its most unlikely element : they learn to speak with such ease that the linguist from arrival would be jealous . by the time the sequel starts , wicket is basically speaking in complete sentences . ultimately , that\u2019s one of the few things that carries over from the first ewok film to the second , since the filmmakers kill off cindel\u2019s entire family in the first few minutes , rendering her efforts in caravan of courage moot .\nwith the swift turn - around of movies from screen to home video formats and downloads it\u2019s likely that the days of the read - along adventure are largely over , but like 7\u2033 records , cassettes and 8 - tracks it\u2019s a part of the fabric of star wars , a vessel that carried the spirit of the star wars universe and its inhabitant to the kids of the 70\u2019s and 80\u2019s . the media is retired , but the adventure is far from over .\n5 . eyelids for sleeping ewoks had to be created by ilm for the ewok adventure , since the original masks used in return of the jedi did not have any . a recent blu - ray release for return of the jedi would digitally add them , however , allowing the dry - eyed heroes to blink for the first time .\nwalker was initially unaware he was auditioning for george lucas . an interview with the casting team led to an on - camera try - out , \u201cbut it wasn\u2019t until the final screen test that i realised what the film was , \u201d he laughs . \u201cthey brought out an ewok attached to a stick \u2014 it didn\u2019t have an actor in it \u2014 to see if aubree would be afraid of it , but she thought it was cute and hugged it . so they didn\u2019t have a problem there . \u201d lucas came up with caravan of courage \u2019s story , with screenplay duties going to bob carrau , at the time working for lucas as amanda\u2019s nanny . the director was john korty , a veteran filmmaker and animator who\u2019d been an influence on both lucas and francis ford coppola , and for a time rented space at coppola\u2019s american zoetrope . several of the rest of the crew \u2014 production designer joe johnston , special - effects artist phil tippett , many of the ewoks themselves \u2014 came straight from return of the jedi . the redwood forests around lucas\u2019 skywalker ranch in marin county , california , again played the part of endor .\nthe main focal point of this new ewok species was to be wicket wystri warrick , a small young male scout and warrior . generally considered to be the most well known of the ewoks , wicket would be given the lead role in almost all subsequent ewok related media released after return of the jedi . [ 2 ]\nduring the celebration iv opening ceremonies , the cast of\nstar wars in 30 minutes\nperformed a skit called\nlucasfilm in five minutes 1983 - 2005\n, in which they re - enacted segments or imitated elements from all major lucasfilm productions from 1983 to 2005 . both ewok films were included in the act . [ 33 ] in 2009 , urltoken celebrated the 25th anniversary of the ewok films with a series of articles covering various aspects of each . [ 27 ] rogue one : a star wars story director gareth edwards had a caravan of courage poster in his office while making that film , [ 34 ] reportedly as a reminder of past star wars spin - off films . [ 35 ]\nthe two ewok movies ( sometimes billed as \u201cthe great ewok adventures\u201d ) attempted to profit from the popularity of the lovable but bloodthirsty and warlike teddy bears residing on the forest moon of endor . they feature returning characters like wicket warrick ( warwick davis of course reprises his role ) and expand on the previous used ewok suits to add more characters and relationships within the village ( logray the medicine man , chief chirpa , paploo , and many more ) .\nto us , rebel agent sounds like a ground - level first person shooter , while rebel warrior sounds more combat - based . rebel jedi / jedi rebel , in our humble opinion , sounds tantalisingly like an action adventure title where your own jedi wades into the rebel cause .\nthe effects are quite good as are the production values for an 80\u2019s family fantasy adventure , though star wars , this is not . the ewoks seem to be able to channel a more straight forward magic than the more plausible force , but the ewoks themselves felt very consistent .\nkeating : if these movies were made today , i wonder whether the ewoks would have elicited some of the same online blowback that greeted avatar \u2019s depiction of \u201cindigenous\u201d aliens . in the original ( brutal ) new york times review of return of the jedi , vincent canby describes \u201cteddy - bear - like creatures called ewoks , which serve the functions once left to friendly pygmies in old tarzan movies . \u201d this is only highlighted more in caravan of courage by the david attenborough\u2013style faux - ethnographic narration\u2014by burl \u201cbig daddy\u201d ives , no less\u2014in the early scenes depicting ewok village life .\nj . j . abrams\u2019 the force awakens is heralding a new star wars era in which the numbered episodes will alternate with standalone spin - off adventures , making for a film per year . but the ewok adventures caravan of courage and the battle for endor demonstrate that the side stories are hardly a new idea . made to capitalise on the popularity of the warrior teddy bears among star wars \u2019 younger fans , they were also , more sentimentally , a gift from george lucas to his young daughter , amanda .\nlater on , back at the ewok village , mace says goodbye to izrina , and the towani and warrick families hold a celebration .\ni don ' t blame the star wars powers for these cheesy movies . the ewoks were a huge deal . my brother and i had matching brown ewok stuffed toys . my brother even agreed to trade his security blanket for his ewok . this was serious stuff .\nchances of resurrection ? well , ea - owned company visceral games snared amy hennig ( who creative - directed and wrote uncharted ) for an unspecified next - gen star wars game in april 2014 . could this be a han solo adventure ? we\u2019ll be sure to shout about it as soon as we hear anything .\nwhat was it ? star wars : attack squadrons is an interesting member of this list , not least because it stands as an actual disney - led gaming project which didn\u2019t make the cut , as opposed to the reams of lucasarts ideas that were cancelled in the prior takeover .\nafter leaving ilm , i began shopping for a network that might be interested in airing such a production . abc , cbs , and nbc all told me that a half - hour film didn\u2019t interest them , although abc said if we could fill a two - hour movie of the week slot , they\u2019d be interested . so we went with them , and our canvas grew bigger . the little , half - hour project we had in mind was now a two - hour primetime tv movie . george conceived the story of the film that became caravan of courage : an ewok adventure with writer bob carrau , who wrote the shooting script . as far as i know , no consideration was given to using any other star wars theme characters such as luke , han , leia , or chewie . the film was intended to represent a standalone time and situation .\nwicket the ewok and his friends agree to help two shipwrecked human children , mace and cindel , on a quest to find their parents .\n\u201cgeorge lucas came on board [ to direct ] one week of pick - up shots . i actually have the first day reshoot call sheet that lists him as the director , for which i understand a production assistant got into trouble , as it was taken off the second day\u2019s call sheet . so the actual comeback into directing by george lucas was not on episode i but on caravan of courage .\nour bet ? that rise of the rebellion would have been one of the many projects touted to bridge the gap between revenge of the sith ( where all hope seemed lost ) and a new hope ( where the rebellion very much existed ) . we can imagine an adventure game , maybe with a stealthy \u2018hide from the storm - troopers\u2019 element existing in that time period nicely .\nstarring warwick davis , aubree miller and eric walker , the film \u2014 using old - school techniques , even for 1984 \u2014 was made on a thrifty budget of $ 3 million and shot largely around marin county and in the mighty redwood forests of california between june and august of \u201984 . scheduled to accommodate the young casts school work , lucasfilm even gave davis and walker a camera with the instructions to shoot a behind the scenes documentary , very much in the vein of warwick\u2019s return of the ewok mockumentary , made during the production of jedi 2 years before . the film was released theatrically here in the uk and europe , where it\u2019s better known as caravan of courage .\newoks are irrepressible and ridiculous , squabbling like toddlers themselves and cheering each other along . through two spin - off tv films \u2013 caravan of courage and battle for endor , both of which saw the ewoks save two tow - haired kids from evil magicians \u2013 and a cartoon series , the ewoks became breakout stars . kids almost universally love them on first viewing , and anyone who claims otherwise is lying .\nafter viewing product detail pages , look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages that interest you .\nthe caravan of courage features three main characters , cindel , a young girl who crash landed on endor with her family , mace , cindel\u2019s brother , and wicket the ewok . this alone sets the caravan of courage apart from the current six canon star wars movies in that it features a female lead . the strength of cindel as a character can be readily debated , but she generally shows that she can hold her own in a fight . in her first meeting with the ewoks , in fact , although they brandish spears at cindel she maintains eye contact , she makes a quick diplomatic decision to not fight . and when mace \u201ccomes to her rescue\u201d he blunders , believing that she cannot hold her own he bursts in to stop the ewoks , but finds instead that cindel has already befriended them . cindel diffused the threat of the ewoks efficiently , and was brought to the village as a friend , while mace was brought tied down as a prisoner initially .\ni ' m not yet mentally ready to watch the second spin - off ,\newoks : the battle for endor ,\nwhich came out in 1985 . there ' s a lot of carnage involved , and i can ' t handle any more ewok - talk just yet . hold me , obi - wan kenobi , and protect me from the ewoks . i ' m not saying i will never watch\nbattle for endor ,\nbut i ' m going to have to give myself at least a year to recover from\ncaravan of courage .\nafter viewing product detail pages , look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages you are interested in .\n( 1983 ) hyperspace members can download an edited version of this short film , which was shot during the production of\nreturn of the jedi .\nthe full version has yet to be made available\nviewers are treated to a knife - wielding ewok , an impulsive and violent human boy , a sick and helpless little girl and a giant stop - motion rat / bear / razorback creature . actually , the stop - motion stuff is pretty cool . the rest of it , not so much .\nsoon we meet qui - gon jin ( liam neeson ) and obi - wan kenobi ( ewan macgregor ) and the childish adventure begins . my first thought as a 20 year old was , \u2018was star wars really this childish ? the answer : no . it was a family adventure and it wasn\u2019t as high brow as many fans would like to believe but it wasn\u2019t anything like this either .\nthe film was released on vhs and laserdisc in 1 . mgm under the original title . the film was released on dvd as a double feature collection with its sequel , ewoks : the battle for endor , on november 2 . the release was a single double - sided disc , with one film on each side . for this release , the film bore theatrical release title , caravan of courage .\nthis ewok - soaked film gives me a new appreciation for the pacing , characters and special effects in the original star wars trilogy . it ' s much easier to embrace and be engaged by the fast - paced adventures of luke skywalker , han solo and princess leia than it is to trudge along with a couple of kids and their ewok buddies ."]}

acted and a wonderful music track . burt lancaster , as always effortlessly plays a very interesting character .\nit\u2019s a central paradox of the hard - boiled private eye that his violence elevates rather than condemns him : for us to accept that , we have to be convinced of his \u201cprivate moral code , \u201d to believe that he kills for the right reasons . this means that though the stories are filled with action , they really turn on principle \u2014 and that is exactly true of valdez is coming . by the end of the novel valdez has killed over a dozen men , but even though by then things are more complicated than they seemed at first , there\u2019s no doubt that he\u2019s in the right , that we are rooting for him as he picks them off one by one in defense of himself but also of the code he can\u2019t quite articulate but follows without equivocation .\nthis is a fantastic movie , driven primarily by lancaster ' s embodiment of the character of valdez - a town constable who kills an innocent man in self - defense , only to then become the subject of constant abuse by the slain ' s pursuer . valdez ' s vengeful reactions to this abuse , the episodic pacing , and the great supporting actors make this a real cinematic treat . lancaster ' s treatment of voice and body language show he is an actor of extreme talent . of further interest is the landscape of spain , which makes up the film ' s authentic exteriors .\nthey laughed at roberto valdez and then ignored him . but when a dark - skinned man was holed up in a shack with a gun , they sent the part - time town constable to deal with the problem - - and made sure he had no choice but to gun the fugitive down . trouble was , valdez killed an innocent man . and when he asked for justice - - and some money for the dead man ' s woman - - they beat valdez and tied him to a cross . they were still laughing when valdez came back . and then they began to die . . .\nelmore leonard knows drama and this early western is that . frank tanner runs his men and his life with an iron hand . his word was good enough for a group of men to go after an innocent man and he ends up being killed by valdez in self defense . valdez goes after frank tanner to help pay the widow of the innocent man , five hundred dollars . tanner has him beaten and left for dead . now the game has changed and valdez finds that it has gone far beyond giving the woman justice for her dead husband .\nvaldez wants to compensate the man\u2019s widow and attempts to collect $ 100 from the man , frank tanner , who wrongly accused the victim . tanner refuses and humiliates valdez , then has him tied to a cross when he persists . arming himself , valdez surprises tanner in his bed and asks again for the $ 100 . failing in this attempt , he takes the man\u2019s girlfriend ( susan clark ) as a hostage , and thus begins a long chase .\ni ' ve read a huge chunk of elmore leonard ' s work over the years , but this was my first western of his . seriously very glad i finally got to it , as it ' s one of his best . valdez is a lawman who gets zero respect , hired basically to do thankless grunt work . he ' s not taken seriously by the town ' s governing bodies ( or anyone else , really ) , and when they need someone to roust a black man with an indian wife , holed up in a cabin , they tag valdez to do it . valdez is forced to kill the man - - who turns out\neverything leonard ever wrote is worth reading . this particular book is an excellent example of an elmore leonard western novel . as engaging as any of his detroit or miami based crime novels , this book should be less than it is . the plot is of the\nhardheaded old west guy gets his revenge against powerful , rich rancher guy\nvariety that is the base of seemingly one third of the western novels and movies ever produced . despite this fatal flaw , or flaw one would think would be fatal , this book is quite engrossing , with decently drawn characters and crackling dialog .\ni think maybe part of the shame of liking poe ( there is some shame , i think ) is the possibility that one does perhaps identify , or at least sympathize , with his narrators . yes , shelley\u2019s creature is probably more sympathetic ; we at least see and feel his wrongs .\nover time , she develops an attraction to valdez because of his tired decency , and because he treats her better than the other men she has known .\nwebsite is owned and published by immediate media company limited . urltoken \u00a9 immediate media company ltd 2018 .\nimbruglia is currently represented by leigh brillstein at resolution and todd diener and katie rhodes at untitled entertainment .\nhaven ' t read that many western novels , but i doubt they come better than this short , laconic masterpiece . this is existential territory , a man being shaped by his actions . valdez ' s reaction to his circumstances seems monomanic , but is motivated by his sense of honor and justice . he is a man , but he is also a concept being formed , under the blazing sun and under the readers ' eyes . and after all this hard , violent stuff , at the end leonard lets the story fly away like a feather , while yet another\ni\u2019m surprised , really , how much fun i found valdez is coming . still , i can\u2019t imagine reading a lot of books like this \u2014 not in a row , certainly . i also have some hesitations about teaching it : it is full of racial slurs , for one thing , and while i think it\u2019s pretty clear not just that they are historically and contextually appropriate but also that the novel as a whole rejects the attitudes they express , that does create some pedagogical challenges . there\u2019s also a lot about its contexts that i don\u2019t know , and of course this is not the kind of novel that\u2019s available in a helpfully annotated edition ! that can be rectified with research , though , and for better and for worse it does seem more \u201cpulpy\u201d than true grit .\nit had a lot of pretty good action , but the motivations didn ' t work for me at different times . valdez ' s character was erratic & didn ' t seem complete . everyone seemed to know everyone , so the dichotomy of the perception of valdez was tough to swallow . the innkeeper knew who he was . part of the problem is that too much was taken out of the short story , i think .\nsynopsis / blurb . . . . . . . . . . . they laughed at roberto valdez and then ignored him . but when a dark -

( sadly flies out the window )\nhannibal lecture : falcon explaining to stuart that margalo is simply an artful dodger , and her friendship was a lie to get the littles ' wedding ring . however , margalo tells stuart that their friendship is genuine and stuart believes her . stuart shoots an arrow at falcon , which simply pisses him off .\nin stuart little 2 , stuart meets a canary bird named margalo ( voiced by melanie griffith ) and both become friends . what he doesn ' t know is that margalo is forcefully working with a cruel peregrine falcon named falcon ( voiced by james woods ) who wants her to steal mrs . little ' s ring or else he will kill her new rodent friend . margalo leaves to save stuart ' s life and the mouse goes on her trail thinking that falcon kidnapped her .\n: the second film has something sort of like this . after being told that margalo isn ' t going anywhere , stuart replies ,\nyes she is !\nand fires an arrow at falcon - which simply bounces off his beak . he grabs stuart in his talons and drops him off the building .\nthe film is fairly formulaic , though some of its puns and wisecracks are hilarious , especially those delivered by the littles ' lazy and cynical persian cat .\nthe stuart little book was an instant classic upon it ' s release exactly 70 years ago . the 1999 movie earned $ 300 million at the box office , and was a huge blockbuster success . michael j . fox voiced the title character , with geena davis and hugh laurie playing the parents . the then very popular jonathan lipnicki played their son and stuart ' s best friend . a sequel titled stuart little 2 was released three years later in 2002 . while it still made an impressive $ 169 million , it wasn ' t as big of a hit as the first movie . stuart little 3 : call of the wild was released direct to video and is notable for being fully animated .\nat the same time , stuart little 2 effectively balances its sweetness with acid wit and clever asides for the grown - ups , and never runs the risk of becoming cloying or saccharine . much of the credit in this regard goes to nathan lane in the role of the cat snowbell , funnier and better utilized here than in the original . in one scene , trailing around town on a mission with a determined stuart who vows not to\ngive up ,\nsnowbell protests plaintively ,\ngiving up is fun ! if more people gave up , there\u2019d be fewer wars ! and look at all the time you save !\nsnowbell even manages to get a funny payoff out of the littles\u2019 cutesy family greeting (\nlittle hi , little lo ; little hey , little ho\n) .\ngeorge gets one when he has to lie to mrs little again , supposedly having just left stuart at will ' s house , and then will shows up at the door . he manages to cover himself .\nstuart little doesn ' t have the exuberant inspiration or seamless , polished dazzle of toy story 2 , but if the latter is sold out at the multiplex this weekend , the mouse is a passable substitute .\nthe storyline ties together margalo , mrs . little\u2019s missing ring , and stuart\u2019s garbage - scow voyage into a new plot pitting stuart against a predatory falcon ( james woods ) \u2014 a conflict that has the kid - empowering appeal of stories like jack the giant - killer or david and goliath .\n: margalo is assigned by the evil falcon to steal household valuables from the little family . however , margalo can ' t seem to focus on her assignment as she starts to enjoy spending time with the family , and becoming smitten with stuart . finally losing his patience , falcon threatens margalo to steal mrs . little ' s ring or else he ' ll kill stuart . reluctantly , margalo steals mrs . little ' s wedding ring . when the littles notice the ring missing , they think it ' s fallen down the drain and stuart volunteers to go after it , but the string that ' s holding him breaks . margalo saves him , but stuart ' s gratitude towards her only makes her feel more guilty .\na lovely family film . working closely with my son so he can learn french as well as english so we love this has both language options on this .\ndeadpan snarker : though snowbell is ( as expected ) the biggest culprit , ( movie ) margalo lets a little of this sneak through from time to time , when her ditz armor starts to crack around stuart .\nwhen stuart confronts falcon in the pishkin building , stuart and margalo are alternately standing on and off of the grillwork surrounding the water valve on which falcon is perched .\nsmug snake : anton . he ' s a bully to george and is smug most of the time with little reason to be .\nbutt monkey : snowbell ends up falling in this trope in the second movie , especially with all the bad luck he gets in the second half of the film .\nstuart has one when he gets lost in central park and the cats start appearing .\nhas been made wholly in animation . it does reunite many of the live -

and he ' s a mouse . combining live - action with groundbreaking visual effects technology by the artists and innovators at sony pictures imageworks , it ' s the story of a mouse who is raised by the littles , a human family who learns to dream big and live large when they think little - stuart little . as stuart embarks on adventures with a variety of characters , including his nemesis , snowbell the cat , stuart learns the true meaning of family , loyalty and friendship .\nthe movie looks terrific , too . as with the first film , director rob minkoff ( the lion king ) makes excellent use of his new york setting , and the special effects are so well -

action / cgi animated film directed by rob minkoff . it is loosely based on the novel of the same name by e . b . white . it combines live action and computer animation . the screenplay was written by m . night shyamalan and greg brooker . the plot bears little resemblance to that of the book , as only some of the characters and one or two minor plot elements are the same . the movie ' s sequel more closely resembles the original novel . this movie is minkoff ' s first live - action movie .\ninterspecies adoption : as mentioned above , the book claims that stuart was born from a human mother , but the movie explains this as the reason why stuart has human parents to begin with .\nstuart is an animation wonder - his tiny face is more expressive than most hollywood stars ' .\nrascally raccoon : played straight in the animated series episode\nthe great outdoors\n, where a pair of raccoons serve as an antagonistic version of this trope , since they not only try and steal the littles ' food but also threaten snowbell that they will pluck his fur for refusing to give them the food .\nthe little family spend their vacation near lake garland . meanwhile , in the forest , a beast is threatening the animals to give her food every night .\n( 2002 ) , were conducted in live -

ray\nnews of the reboot comes from tracking board . they claim that this new stuart little will follow in the footsteps of the 1999 original . it will blend cg animation with live action . it will also once again follow the biplane flying mouse and his adoptive family the littles .\naction & adventure ! a excellent from my children , a really good watch . a great follow on from the storyline / the dvd ' s before this one . the only thing i dislike about this film is that i missed watching the acting , from hugh laurie and geena davis also from the young jonathan lipnicki or wayne brady because it is an animated adventure film but apart from that it is a good watch .\nin the first film , the main impression created by the little clan was of quirky retro unhipness and preternatural good cheer . in the sequel , stuart\u2019s parents still have their colorful retro quirkiness ( compare to jimmy neutron \u2019s parents ) , but they also reveal a more endearing and charming side , and make their family life genuinely appealing . when mr . little compliments his wife\u2019s appearance one morning as she\u2019s feeding the baby breakfast , her chipper response is ,\nwell , some people just know how to wear oatmeal .\nlater , in a bedtime exchange of\nbrady bunch\n- level parental cuteness , a comment from mr . little about youthful infatuation prompts his wife to ask him whether he had many crushes , to which of course he replies sweetly , as they turn off the light :\ni\u2019m still having one .\nwhen the littles return with no success of finding stuart , snowbell starts to recognize his selfishness and feels guilty for what he has done . the cats pinpoint stuart ' s location in central park and bring snowbell along for the hunt . however , he finds stuart thoughtfully sitting in a bird ' s nest in a tree and decides to save him from the cats , admitting that he lied and the littles do love him . snowbell then tries to reason with smokey to leave stuart alone , but smokey refuses to listen and demands his gang to kill both stuart and snowbell . stuart lures the cats away , but is left hanging from a tree branch . monty and the cats group together on a lower branch to catch stuart , but snowbell breaks the branch they are standing on , sending them falling down into the river below . smokey , seeking revenge , sneaks up from behind snowbell and is about to kill snowbell , but stuart releases a thin branch that hits smokey in the face , and sends him falling into the water below . devastated , smokey runs off , only to encounter a pack of vicious dogs . stuart rides snowbell all the way home and they share a happy reunion with the little family when they arrive to find stuart safely back home .\nfurry confusion : in the film , stuart is an anthropomorphic mouse adopted as a son by humans ; as a result he has a pet cat . snowbell also speaks , however . it ' s implied that all cats and mice have intelligence in this world , but are generally treated as we treat animals anyway . stuart being given\nspecial treatment\ncreates a bit of a social scandal in both the human and animal worlds .\nstuart ' s new life at the house gets off to a bad start when george unknowingly traps him in a pile of laundry and his mother puts the laundry in the washing machine . stuart quickly feels ostracised in the large little family , especially when george declares stuart is not his brother , but simply a mouse . when stuart tells his parents that he is lonely , they ask mrs . keeper to do some background research on stuart ' s biological family . after accidentally stumbling across george ' s playroom in the basement one day , stuart and george get to know each other and plan to finish george ' s remote - controlled boat , the wasp , for an upcoming boat race in central park . at the same time , one of snowbell ' s alley cat friends , monty ( steve zahn ) , visits unexpectedly and discovers stuart . determined not to have his reputation ruined , snowbell meets with monty ' s leader , smokey ( chazz palminteri ) , a mafia don - like alley cat , and plots to remove stuart from the household without harming him .\nadaptational heroism : snowbell . in the book , he is very nasty toward stuart , without a hint of remorse . in the movies , while villainous at first , the cat eventually becomes one of stuart ' s allies .\nsadly , on the basis of its first two episodes , new series the muppets is yet another misstep . it\u2019s a spoof documentary full of cutaway character interviews , which would have been a sophisticated touch had this been made in 2005 , but now just comes off as grimly rote . the biggest crime that the muppets commits , however , is what it\u2019s done with the muppets themselves .\nwhen they get there , stuart meets a skunk named reeko ( wayne brady ) who ' s forced to give food to\nthe beast\n. stuart and george ( corey padnos ) join the lake scouts which stuart has trouble in , though he always wanted to be a scout . but reeko makes a deal with the beast ( virginia madsen ) , resulting in snowbell ( kevin schon ) getting captured by him and stuart goes off on an adventure to save him .\nas most others state , the movie pales in comparison to the book . i didn ' t like the added in inappropriate language for small movie watchers . not happy with the film , although i love the individual actors and actresses .\nthe film stars michael j . fox , nathan lane , rino romano , corey padnos , geena davis , hugh laurie , virginia madsen , wayne brady , tara strong , tom kenny , sophia paden , kath soucie , peter macnicol .\ncats are mean : played with in the films . snowbell starts out very antagonistic toward stuart , even trying to eat him and kill him , but later is shown as a jerk with a heart of gold and , when his street cat friends from the alley want him to eat stuart to be in with the in crowd , he ultimately sides with stuart .\nwhile i thoroughly enjoyed this movie , i hold with the minority opinion that it isn ' t up to the standards of the original . the first movie succeeded in being sweet and charming without being the least bit sugary . alas , the sequel doesn ' t entirely avoid this pitfall ( that\nlittle high , little low\nbusiness is just a little gagging ) . also , the plot is too predictable , although that probably won ' t matter much to children , who are , after all , the film ' s target audience . these are really minor quibbles , though .\nstuart 2\nis a fine movie , both for kids and adults . the special effects are well - done , all the actors do a good job in their roles , and the dialogue has some real gems . particularly noteworthy is snowbell , the cat ( voiced to hilarious perfection by nathan lane ) . he gets all the best lines , and steals every scene he ' s in - - he even upstages stuart himself ! verdict : good movie . go see .\nthis simple story features amazing computer effects to render stuart and a story that will bore anyone over the age of ten .\njust as no writer or editor can do without a copy of strunk and white\u2019s the elements of style , so no child\u2019s library is complete without one or more of the latter writer\u2019s beloved trilogy of children\u2019s books : stuart little ( 1945 ) , charlotte\u2019s web ( 1952 ) , and trumpet of the swan ( 1970 ) .\nthis dvd is packed with extras designed for kids and special - effects enthusiastics . stuart himself hosts the extras , guiding the viewer through the special menus . a favorite with the kids will probably be the game asking questions about the movie . using clips from the movie and three different levels , it ' s quite appealing . as for meatier things , there is a curious look at animators '\ntryouts\nin creating stuart , plus excellent demonstrations of how stuart interacts with humans , using multiple images and commentary . another highlight is seeing the first conceptual drawings of the boat race , vastly different from the final sequence . there are two commentary tracks on the film , one with the visual - effects team revealing their secrets and the other with the engaging director , rob minkoff . also including short documentaries , music videos , and a read - along book with stuart , this is a rare disc because the kids will like the extras as much as the film . - - doug thomas\nthat night , snowbell meets with smokey and the alley cats , who reveal they had forced the stouts to pose as stuart ' s parents in order to remove stuart from the household . fearing retribution should the littles discover snowbell ' s deception , smokey orders the stouts to hand stuart over to them . however , the stouts , having bonded with stuart , tell him the truth and instruct him to escape . smokey subsequently orders a mouse hunt for stuart . he and the alley cats confront him in central park , and chase him into a sewer drain , but he manages to outrun them , losing his roadster in the process . he returns home , but finds the littles absent , going out to put up posters of him . the only one present is snowbell , who lies that the littles have been enjoying themselves since stuart ' s departure and uses stuart ' s removed face from the family photograph as proof ( which they had actually used for the posters ) . crestfallen , stuart leaves again .\nas the charm and novelty of the first two films lay in seeing the tiny mouse boy contrasted up against the human environment . with no medium separating either , what we have here seems to be no more than a standard talking animal animated film .\nin the first film , the story starts when the littles adopt stuart in an orphanage . the mouse ' s new parents are happy with him , but his foster brother , george , isn ' t but soon they get well with each other . as stuart is beginning to adapt , things get complicated when snowbell , the family ' s pet cat , tries to get rid of him and his supposedly lost parents , the stouts ( voiced by bruno kirby and jennifer tilly ) , appear in the scene .\nsnowbell : ( after stuart ' s car overheats ) i ' m telling you , stuart , it ' s a sign . this is just like the burning bush \u2014 except it ' s a carburetor , and . . . i ' m not moses .\nenjoy a fun , free family movie with your kids this summer at the beautiful aurora theatre in east aurora . meet the fisher -

( hugs margalo , who sadly hangs her head in guilt )\nlater that night , margalo gives a sleeping stuart her precious jeweled stick - pin , before leaving the house out of guilt and shame .\nthe littles go on holiday up to lake garland , taking stuart and snowbell with them . stuart is excited and looking forward to joining the lake scouts . frederick decides to join up too to ensure stuart\u0092s safety . george has no interest in the scouts and only wants to get through all the levels on his computer game but is persuaded to join when he meets a cute scout girl brooke . stuart soon starts to fall behind everyone else on the courses because he is too small to keep up with the regular size kids . in the woods , stuart befriends the skunk rocko who gives him helpful tips on wilderness survival . what stuart does not know is that rocko has made a deal with the monster \u0096 a mountain lion that is terrorizing the woods \u0096 to be spared as long as he brings it other animals as food .\nwhen stuart\u2019s parents learn the truth , their response is refreshingly direct . not only does mr . little make it totally clear to george that\nit is never okay to lie to your parents ,\nwhen george counters by suggesting that he\u2019s bound by his promise to his brother , his mother brushes this aside :\nit was wrong to promise your brother to lie to us .\nafterwards , having made a full confession , george ventures to ask whether he is in trouble .\nno , son ,\nmr . little replies firmly .\nyou are in big trouble .\nplus ! : 3 music videos ( if you can ' t rock me , by brian setzer orchestra , i need to know by r . angels , you ' re where i belong by trisha yearwood ) , read - along with stuart , artist ' s screen tests , race with stuart hasbro interactive rom game & stuart ' s central park adventure game , art gallery , isolated music score , dvd - rom & weblinks\nthe ditz : margalo puts on an understated version of this , mostly to throw stuart off the fact that she ' s an artful dodger .\nmy god , what have i done ? : margalo says this almost word - for - word after falcon apparently drops stuart to his death .\nstuart little 3 : call of the wild is a direct - to - video fully cgi animated sequel . most of the cast returned to voice their respective characters ( laurie , davis and fox ) except for nathan lane ( who was replaced by his timon substitute , kevin schon ) , steve zahn ( who voiced monty , snowbell ' s feral cat best friend ) and jonathan lipnicki . in this one , stuart and his family go for a camping trip . stuart joins the scouts and makes good friends with reeko the skunk ( voiced by wayne brady ) , who like margalo , works for a ferocious employer called the beast ( voiced by virginia madsen ) .\nthe late hughes , of course , is getting a lot of play these days . his teen classic the breakfast club had a theatrical reissue for its thirtieth anniversary earlier this year , and the new spider - man film is said to be heavily inspired by his films as well .\nthey find out that their son has been kidnapped by a couple of strangers , and that , according to the authorities , their modus operandi fits criminals interested in thrill - killing , not ransom . luckily , stuart ' s fake parents turn out to have a conscience and he finds his way home , but mr . and mrs . little are scared to death in the meantime .\nraised by humans : stuart in the films ( as opposed to the books , where he ' s a mouse mysteriously born to human parents ) .\nstuart and george finish the wasp in time , but when the controller gets broken on the day of the race , stuart pilots the wasp himself . he ends up entangled with a larger boat belonging to george ' s rival , anton ( miles marsico ) who always cheats by crashing other competitors boats , but stuart snaps the wires of anton ' s boat , making it inoperable , and manages to win the race . after this , george feels more comfortable with stuart and calls him\nhis brother\n. during the family celebration , however , the littles are visited by a mouse couple , reginald and camille stout ( bruno kirby and jennifer tilly ) , who claim to be stuart ' s parents and that they gave him up for adoption years ago due to poverty . somberly , stuart leaves with the stouts . three days later , mrs . keeper comes to visit and tells the littles that stuart ' s parents actually died many years ago in a supermarket accident . realizing their son has been kidnapped , the littles call the police , who start a search operation ."]}

( see\nsequels\nbelow )\nthat brother is hawk ( john terry ) , who arrives too late to save his father but in time to hear the prophecy that he had been guarding and which had seen him slain by his own son . as he dies , hawk ' s father gives him a magical sword ( which voltan had desired ) and the two are set on a path that will see them face one another in battle . when voltan breaks into a convent and kidnaps the mother superior , a one - handed man with an automatic crossbow seeks out hawk . hawk comes to the rescue of the sisters of the holy word , promising not only that he will raise the two thousand pieces of gold but will defeat voltan . carrying his sword before him , hawk sets out to gather a band of warriors . . .\nthe back story is told through the innovative medium of flashbacks . at various points in the story , hawk will say something like\ni have good reason to suspect that voltan can ' t be trusted\n. the camera will pan upwards slightly . then there is a fade to idyllic countryside , where hawk is chilling out with his newlywed wife elaine .\nmeanwhile , hawk is riding around in the forest , searching for voltan . he rescues a witch from being burned at the stake , and the audience sees that he is good . unusually , the witch admits her witchiness , and luckily turns out not to be evil . she will periodically reappear in order to resolve plot holes . next , hawk rescues ranulf , the messenger from the church sent to find him . ranulf is about to get a bandit ass - raping despite his 1337 crossbow skills , but hawk steps in to save him .\nok so it may be feature the worst special effects ever but that does not stop this movie being an all time fantasy classic . long live hawk !\nbadass boast : drogo will slay hawk himself and claim the gold , and\nthen voltan will see who is the lord of the dance !\nwell , he seems to think it ' s badass anyway .\nooc is serious business : in one or two cases hawk changes his standard dull surprise expression and threatens to kill voltan . this is the cue that voltan has really crossed the line .\nthe fellowship play a lethal prank on a hunchback . from left to right : gort , ranulf , hawk , crow , baldin . note the clever use of forced perspective that makes gort look taller than the others .\nkingsley got involved with the sequel through a series of happy coincidences . a while back , he was in the middle of a move and already thinking about old franchises that might be ripe for renewal within abaddon books , one of rebellion ' s book imprints . as kingsley was rifling through a box of\nthose things you keep but only ever look at when you ' re moving ,\nhe ran across his copy of hawk the slayer on vhs .\ngood witch versus bad witch : the unnamed witch supports hawk and his band , while voltan ' s evil master serves as the movie ' s bigger bad . they never fight directly , though .\nour dwarves are all the same : averted . hawk ' s dwarf companion doesn ' t have a long beard , and he uses a whip instead of an axe .\nin the second part of the adventure , the fellowship executes their plan to defeat evil . they do this by stealing some gold from a hunchbacked slave trader , noting that\nthe ends justify the means if we can save the mother superior !\n( this the first hint of the moral ambiguity of the\ngood\nguys : hawk is a very complex story where nothing is truly black or white . )\nthe details of hawk the hunter are sketchy at present , pending a full announcement by marcel at frightfest next month . we know that marcel will be delegating the directing duties this time , but it ' s unclear who ' s replacing him ; whether any cast is yet in place ( although ray charleson seems possible - see below ) ; or if this is the same film as hawk the destroyer , the unrealised sequel marcel was already talking about thirty years ago . all - or at least more - will no doubt be revealed in due course . update : marcel has now announced on hawk the hunter ' s facebook page that rick wakeman will be providing the soundtrack .\nthe sound effect used for the black wizard ' s healing crystal is the one used for the sound of scaramanga ' s laser in the man with the golden gun ( 1974 ) .\nterry : if you\u2019re a sword and sorcery fan , come take a look , because i think this\u2019ll be worth watching . it\u2019s going to be a good script , and if people enjoy a good story , and you haven\u2019t seen hawk the slayer , there\u2019s a reprise at the beginning that tells you why the brothers fought and what happened . so at least you can come into this without having watched the original and still enjoy it . it\u2019s for anybody , but if you\u2019re a sword and sorcery you\u2019ve got to come and see this .\nsummon to hand : hawk can make his mindstone blade fly into his hand by thought alone . well , not fly , exactly . slowly float .\nmaking a sequel for hawk would be like writing a sequel for the bible . no improvement is possible , and anyone attempting an improvement would probably be crucified for their heresy against the mighty hawk . the same goes for any remakes that anyone might think of doing . if you try , the true hawk fans will be waiting like the pharisees with a cross and some nails . so don ' t even try it . i ' m looking at you , nicholas cage , in your shitty wicker man remake . i ' m also looking at you , tim burton , with your pisspoor\nversion\nof planet of the apes . get lost , you mongs .\nthe lost woods : much of the scenes seem to be in the same patch of british forest .\nnot forgetting the sword and the sorcerer urltoken too and the warrior and the sorceress , which is the closest thing i ' ve ever seen to a dark sun movie .\nnever trust a trailer : the trailer mentions\ntwo armies\n,\nvoltan ' s army - the devil ' s army , and hawk ' s\n. in the actual movie , hawk ' s\narmy\nconsists of exactly six people , while voltan ' s\narmy\nis in no way satanical and has nothing to do with the legions of hell - it ' s a band of some 100 or so normal human bandits .\nhawk , having suffered the ignominy of watching both his father and fianc\u00e9e die at the hands of his brother , voltan , sets out on a quest for companions to aid him in his fight to stop his brother ' s reign of evil and free the abbess .\nterry : anyone who is alive , we\u2019re going to try and get back in different roles . patricia quinn \u2013 she doesn\u2019t know it yet , but there\u2019s a new character called fod . she\u2019s in the television series . a lot of the strategy for the new series is based around the kitchen . she sort of runs the household for hawk and the others , and of course , although she\u2019s a rough , fairy - type creature , she loves hawk ; she calls him the master , and she\u2019d do anything for him . and so , all the planning , plotting \u2013 it\u2019s all done in the kitchen , and fod oversees it .\n\u201cwe have a studio deal and a sales deal , \u201d says marcel , himself quite elfin at 73 . games company rebellion has also signed up to produce a hawk game and a putative range of books or comics , and to provide cgi and funding for the sequel . rebellion\u2019s co - founder jason kingsley described the original hawk as \u201ca touchstone\u201d of his life and said he was \u201cdelighted and slightly awed\u201d to be part of the new venture .\nin the first major part of the story , voltan kills his father . his brother hawk arrives - too late to save the old man , but just in time to be granted the sword of mind . it glows and flies across a room into the hands of its owner .

( orlando bloom studied crow ' s scenes repeatedly in preparation for lord of the rings , as the character of legolas is transparently based on crow . tolkien used profits from\nthe hobbit\nto buy a cine projector for his oxford home specifically so that he could watch hawk every day until lord of the rings was completed . he saw it over 9000 times . )\nrewarded as a traitor deserves : well , voltan offs the noviate who betrayed hawk , but he ' s such a bad boss you really can ' t say he treated her any differently than his own henchmen .\nterry : i had him . i went to a fairly well -

they were discovered by a rock - finding troll who\u2019s digging away in a tiny tunnel . he breaks through into this gigantic cavern where he finds this skyscraper - sized crystal buried in the ground . around the crystal are three shining stones , the three sisters . he grabs them and runs but as he does so the giant crystal bursts into life and that\u2019s when magic is born in the land . it\u2019s all to do with crystal magic and in the sequel we begin to see how it all works , why it works and i had to reinvent everything to give a reason for the mindstone .\ncurb - stomp battle : two guys with automatic weapons and a powerful witch vs . ordinary medieval soldiers . even without the guy with the magic sword ( and the dwarf with the whip ) it would have been a walkover .\nin this , you have to have a bigger view of the world , and so it was fairly obvious to me to start from , what was going to be the key to the series : magic . and where did the magic come from ? magic came from the stones . where did the stones come from ? and then bit by bit i rebuilt the whole thing and created a massive world .\nfilms , playing sparrow ; you always get extra from those sorts of people because they\u2019re such distinctive character actors . but we\u2019ve got to look to the long - term . we want to know that whoever\u2019s going to play hawk is going to come and stay with us for the series . i think we\u2019ll probably end up with complete newcomers for all the main parts . there is one troll who\u2019s about twice the size of a human and i\u2019ve always wanted brian blessed for that , he\u2019d be perfect .\ncaroline munro ( from the golden voyage of sinbad , the spy who loved me , dracula ad 1972 , starcrash , maniac , the last horror show , sl . . .\nmagrathea is a planet in douglas adams ' s the hitchhiker ' s guide to the galaxy ( 4 . 13 )\nwith the stolen gold as bait for voltan , the trap is set . the fellowship lie in wait for voltan and his men . but voltan doesn ' t appear . instead , his useless adopted son drogo turns up , without the kidnapped nun . the heroes refuse to hand over the gold until the nun is safe . drogo is angry .\ni am no messenger ,\nhe says .\nbut i do bring a message . the message of death !\nandrew : you make it , and the generation in which it was made watch it and go away , and then their kids discover it , and they start to like it . because it\u2019s got two generations of fandom , it becomes a cult , you\u2019ve got an older and a younger generation , it becomes a cult , because the younger generation discover it , and the older generation say , \u2018that was ours\u2019 , and that\u2019s what happened to hawk .\nharry robertson died in 1996 and jack palance in 2006 . john terry went on to appear in lost ( as jack\u2019s dad ) but still gets asked to sign hawk memorabilia at sci - fi conventions . because hawk wouldn\u2019t die . \u201cit still sells well globally , \u201d says grocock . \u201cscandinavian countries , america , south america . it\u2019s big in japan , south africa . you still get cheques from germany , terry . \u201d marcel adds cheerfully : \u201cyes , about \u00a312 . 65 last time i looked . i\u2019ve never made any money from it . \u201d\nnot forgetting the sword and the sorcerer urltoken too i love that movie . it might ' ve been a better conan movie than conan the barbarian . just as good , anyway .\ngood guy hawk ( john terry ) and his evil brother , voltan ( jack palance ) , both want control of\nthe power ,\na magical flying sword . this comic - bookish exercise in sword - and - sorcery gibberish is dragged down by its excess of slow - motion battle scenes , though palance makes an enjoyable villain .\nbigger bad : voltan ' s dark master . he never gets directly involved in the plot , but is clearly manipulating things behind the scenes . he ' s also shown to have great magical powers , including the ability to resurrect the dead .\neveryone calls him barkeep : the closest thing to a name that the blind witch seems to have is\nwoman\n.\nhoist by his own petard : the hunchback is killed by the exact method by which he threatens gort ' s life .\nalthough planned as the start of a franchise amid much local publicity , the movie was released in the uk as the supporting feature to saturn 3 ( 1980 ) before it was picked up for theatrical distribution in some territories such as north america ."]}

[ \u2026 ] up to a certain point the film succeeds in being at once rational and moving , and it owes not a little to the acting of miss norma shearer as kathleen . [ \u2026 ] only in the last few minutes does it collapse into an abyss of bathos , and for that the director is to be blamed , first , for not knowing when to stop , and , secondly , for allowing a passion for tidying up loose ends to betry him into an absurd , as well as a faintly offensive , climax . mr . fredric march , as kenneth wayne , supports miss shearer adequately , while mr . leslie howard , as john carteret , makes a highly credible pretence of being an old man , although he is actually at his best in those \u201cflash - back\u201d scenes which show him as a young and ardent bridegroom .

1980s account for one - third of their sales . mohan gopinath , business head , zee classic and zee tv , maintains that films like sholay , amar akbar anthony and mughal - e - azam can give new releases a run for their money . hindi television news anchor vinod dua\u2019s daily prime time show ends with a clip of a bollywood classic . times now\u2019s show total recall , featuring bollywood legends , began nearly four years ago and has maintained a rating\nthe work of a director whose critical reputation today mainly rests on earlier black and white films produced for prabhat studios of pune ( such as 1939\u2019s manoos / aadmi or \u201cman , \u201d made in both marathi and hindi ) , jhanak jhanak was a successful attempt to win a mass audience for shantaram\u2019s own rajkamal kalamandir studio in bombay through a lavish spectacle celebrating ( ostensibly ) the glorious heritage of indian classical music and dance . it became the director\u2019s most commercially successful film , was later re - released in 70mm , and remains justly famous today for its songs , dance sequences , and eye - popping fantasy sets , awash in exuberant technicolor .\n( 1955 ) , v shantaram thumped his chest to affirm that he was proud of the beauty and artistic richness of indian classical dance , manifest in its myriad forms like kathak , bharat natyam , manipuri .\none of hindi cinema ' s primary classics of the heart and the eye .\nprobably to underline the fact that indian dance is more colourful than a box of paints , he became one of the first indian filmmakers to choose the technicolour format to tell his story . not surprising , considering he had also directed\nopens with an aging proponent of dance as high art - - - respectfully called guruji ( keshavrao date ) - - - tearing up posters of a dancing girl and hurling abuses . he is enraged because of the blatant selling - out by his one - time prot\u00e9g\u00e9e roopkala who now dances for money . his anger is fuelled by the performance of yet another dancing girl , neela ( sandhya ) . after reprimanding a dazed neela , the guru makes his son and disciple girdhar ( gopi kishen ) dance at her home and impress upon her the loftiness of classical dancing .\na converted neela fervently asks the guru to accept her as his disciple . he demands total allegiance to dancing ( '\nthe guru toils hard to prepare neela as girdhar ' s dance partner for a prestigious competition where he wants girdhar to win the coveted title of bharat natarajan .\nyoung love , however , is not to be denied . while neela ' s feet learn to move rhythmically to the guru ' s\nher heart begins to pulsate for girdhar . her wide - eyed admiration is instantly reciprocated by the equally - smitten girdhar . but mani babu ( madan puri ) , who has financed neela ' s passion for dancing because he wants to marry her , is incensed ; he promptly squeals to the guru .\nthe infuriated guru , already upset with neela for encouraging girdhar to join him in a western dance performance earlier , accuses neela of derailing girdhar from his goal . neela ' s pleas of '\ntradition , neela decides to keep her guru happy and abandons girdhar , presumably for her patron , mani babu . in a series of dramatic twists - - - the least engaging part of this otherwise fluid film - - - she incurs girdhar ' s wrath , leaves mani babu in the lurch and makes a futile attempt to end her life by jumping into the river . when all else fails , she embraces the life of a mendicant .\nhowever , girdhar and neela ' s destiny seems intractably intertwined . when girdhar reaches the final of the bharat natarajan contest , his partner suddenly abandons him . but the dismayed guru and girdhar are stunned as a pair of feet don the\ndespite burning with fever , neela has arrived to partner her lover . an angry girdhar is reluctant to perform with the ' unfaithful ' neela but the guru orders him otherwise . a fervour - filled\nfor one , the role of a keen learner and a dedicated disciple fitted her like a glove . in later films , she showed a marked predisposition for rolling her eyes and shaking her head like a spring doll . these quintessentially sandhya mannerisms , which became second skin to her as the years and the reels rolled by , made only an occasional appearance in this early performance , and so don ' t distract from her endearing naivette .\ngopi kishen struggles with his lines and seems raring to break into dance mid - sentence ( and does so too on quite a few occasions ) . but as a choreographer and dancer he holds you spellbound .\nthe dances make several allusions to mythology , interweaving them intricately into the script . the romantic portion between neela and girdhar draws inspiration from the krishna - radha romance , the blossoming of their love finds its fount in the bhil dance , while seductress menaka ' s bid to seduce sage vishwamitra provides a perfect parallel for neela distracting girdhar from his chosen path .\nnumber , hitting the screen like a tightly - wound up top which is finally unleashed . not just dance - literate viewers but even the hoi polloi are sure to get drawn in by the magnetism of this blend of energy , undiluted anger and immense grace . it ' s sheer poetry in motion .\nart director kanu desai ' s sets are lavish but garish . since technicolour was a major attraction , desai probably got carried away by his desire to present the entire gamut of colours . also , the abrupt shift from outdoor locales to sets with painted backdrops , is an avoidable distraction .\nbetween neela ' s domestics , ballu and bindiya ( bhagwan - manorama ) unnecessarily strains the viewer ' s patience . k date as the guru - - - benign one moment , belligerent the next - - elevates the dramatic portions .\ndespite being a dance musical boasting of two non - stars , the film was a landmark hit . there couldn ' t have been a more befitting testimony of shantaram ' s foresight nor a better reward for his spirit of adventure .\nmost were sceptical about the film ' s success as it starred an non - established heroine , sandhya , opposite a classical dancer , gopi kishen . however , when the screening ended , there was a standing ovation for shantaram .\nsince sandhya was not a trained dancer , she was made to rehearse from morning to night by gopi kishen for months on end .\ntu chhupi hai kahan . . navrang1958 -

lifting \u201cgiridhar\u201d in her original songs ) . when this too earns her only abuse from her own giridhar and his father , neela again attempts to give up her life and is again rescued , this time by her comical domestics bindiya and badalu . giridhar , though still in love with her , is goaded by his father into taking another partner for the duet that must form the climax of the nateshwar contest . she is rupkala , a former student of mangal maharaj who was earlier disowned for selling out to crass commercial promoters . when she ultimately accepts a bribe from mani babu to ruin giridhar\u2019s chances in the competition , the coveted title appears lost\u2014unless , of course , neela can awaken from a comatose state , tie on anklebells , and dance her way back into her former partner\u2019s ( and his father\u2019s ) heart\u2026 .\nthough the film is preoccupied with and ultimately affirming of the value of romantic love\u2014and the audience can readily sympathize with neela\u2019s unjust treatment by giridhar , mangal maharaj , and mani babu\u2014it also seeks to endorse conventional ideals of both patriarchal family and nation . for mangal maharaj , love is a distraction from the austere path of art , which is closely associated with both family honor and \u201cnational culture , \u201d and which requires strict celibacy , at least during the student phase\u2014the ideal of brahmacarya so prized by gandhi and other nationalist thinkers . this celibacy is valorized within a patriarchal and sexist ideology . for although both giridhar and neela express their budding love , it is neela alone who must assume responsibility for being a \u201cdistraction\u201d to her male partner and must be chastened by asceticism and suffering nearly - unto - death .\nthe film\u2019s representation of \u201cpure , authentic\u201d indian dance as a religio - artistic discipline that is preserved through a male guru - disciple succession conveniently elides the historical fact that dance traditions like kathak were often transmitted by unmarried and independent professional women , who came to be despised in the victorian period as sexually - loose \u201cnautch girls\u201d\u2014a stigma that underlies the scorn heaped upon the film\u2019s female soloists by mangal maharaj . yet ironically , the \u201ctradition\u201d of classical dance that the film celebrates is almost entirely invented and in fact heavily inflected by western influences . gopi krishna\u2019s over - the - top choreography owes as much to western ballet and modern dance ( filtered through the balletic spectacles popularized by uday shankar ) as to kathak , and the orchestra - like musical ensembles and synchronized chorus lines reflect the influence of hollywood musicals . the stunning final \u201ccontest , \u201d set in an imaginary shiva temple that contains a modern proscenium arch theater ( on which , in the best busby berkeley tradition , spectacles unfold that could never actually be executed on such a stage ) culminates in a carmen miranda -

[ twitch ]\nthe cantonese historical fantasy \u201c 3d sex and zen : extreme ecstasy \u201d was banned in mainland china but is now rolling out in cities across the united states and canada . the chinese government has committed either an astute piece of film criticism , an insidious act of cultural terrorism or both .\nsex and zen\nis a nostalgic reminder of the soft - core sex films of the 1960s , before\ni am curious ( yellow )\nand\ndeep throat\nbegan the hard - core revolution and turned adult films forever away from sex and towards plumbing . it is interested in how the characters look . it has a plot . it wants to be beautifully photographed ( although it was too saturated in reds for my taste ) . it has a sense of humor , teaches a simple moral , and in amy yip it has a heroine who i would not have to be dragged kicking and screaming to see again .\nas extra insurance ( sex doesn\u2019t always sell ) , sex and zen also delivers a tangled story of romance , fantasy , magic and wisdom ( happiness lies in real love , not carnal acts ) and sets this hodgepodge in a dynasties - old setting of royal sybarites , magicians , wealthy dabblers , religious sages , sinister villagers and warring factions ( dagger knives and all ) . much of the action ( and that can be read both ways ) takes place in an elevated stony tower of curvy hallways and vast chambers worthy of any lord of the rings , harry potter or disney fairytale setting .\nstephen shiu , the producer behind the steamy 2011 blockbuster 3d sex and zen , told the daily chilli newspaper that he intends on using a vibrating seat technology in hong kong theaters for the film ' s sequel , 4d sex and zen : slayer of a thousand from the mysterious east . the first film beat out the hangover , part ii when it came out in june with an opening day take of hk $ 2 . 79 million ( $ 360 , 000 ) , taking the island ' s box office record from avatar .\nas of monday ,\n3d sex and zen : extreme ecstasy\nhas earned $ 4 . 1 million in its home market , $ 1 . 75 million in taiwan and $ 870 , 000 in australia , where it has been screening in brisbane , melbourne and sydney at movie theaters catering to ethnic chinese communities , publicist carmen wong said tuesday .\napparently , this tradition of each sequel going bigger than the last isn\u2019t just a hollywood thing . it seems the folks behind that avatar - defeating chinese softcore film 3d sex and zen are determined to get even wilder this time around , and they\u2019ve figured out just the way to do it . after the jump :\nhow do you take 3d big screen sex to the next level ? by making it 4d , of course .\ni wonder what the original title\nyu pu tuan zhi : tou qing bao jian\nmeans , but the english title\nsex and zen\nsums the movie up nicely , if you translate zen as\nyou know , asian stuff : drinking tea , silly daggers , eating rice , kicking the stuffing out of your opponent\n. sex and zen is an interesting and genuine asian twist on your average softcore / erotic skin flick , a tasty offering of steamy sex scenes which are loosely tied together by an story . for my taste , the storytelling was a bit too loose and erratic as i ' m a big fan a of plot , narration and development . i found myself wondering somewhere in between the rape scene in the fabrics warehouse and the calligraphy - by - shoving - a - brush - up - your - unspeakables segment how it all fits together . overall it ' s well worth a viewing , but because of the surreal and incongruent storytelling it didn ' t really grab me .\nhowever ,\nsex and zen ,\na remake of a 1991 hong kong movie by the same name , still has a long way to go before beating the cumulative take of\navatar ,\nwhich raked in a record $ 23 million in hong kong and then another $ 400 , 000 with an extended version .\nwhat follows in droves are intrigues involving the nearby ancient village and its evil mayor ( lau shek yin ) , stolen artifacts , battles fought with swords , guns and flying daggers , prisoners taken and tortured , the evil prince thwarted and a sweet ending . and , of course , lots of sex tossed in wherever possible .\nthe chinese blockbuster 3d sex and zen : extreme ecstasy is coming to the alamo drafthouse \u2014 mason park . don ' t miss this darkly comic take on sexual exploration and liberation during its run in katy . until you ' ve seen gratuitous nudity in 3d , you ' ve not seen the format used the fullest of its abilities .\n\u201cmany men want to be like mei yeung - sheng , \u201d claims the opening narration of sex & zen ii . um , really ? were they looking away from the screen during all the genital mutilation and violent death in the first film ? that may be the case with simon khan ( elvis tsui ) , a full - blown sex fiend with three wives and a spam javelin capable of castrating a bull in a penile tug of war . you don\u2019t get to have a sex drive this powerful without also having issues with female sexuality , and they manifest themselves in a massively protective attitude towards his daughter yau ( loretta lee ) .\nsex and zen 3d : extreme ecstasy is the world\u2019s first 3d erotic film . directed by christopher sun and banned in mainland china , this surefire cult classic in the making is adapted from the ancient chinese text the carnal prayer mat and follows scholar wei yangsheng as he sets out to become a better lover for his beautiful new wife . peppered with humor , high\u2013drama and endless eroticism , this new film delivers a bevy of unparalleled 3d effects and glossy cinematography that you won\u2019t want to miss .\nthe film\u2019s poster features a pair of come - ons : a bevy of women dressed as if for work in a shenzen karaoke parlor , and the tagline \u201cthe first 3d erotic movie . \u201d that claim is false on two counts . there have been many 3 - d pornographic movies ( who can forget \u201cblonde emmanuelle in 3 - d\u201d ? ) . and there\u2019s nothing erotic about \u201c3d sex and zen . \u201d\nsex and zen 3d : extreme ecstasy is an elaborate costume drama with loads of sex and a plot knottier than a fallen ball of yarn . most definitely , the easily offended better head for the hills , although the film is more soft - core phony than graphic x . audiences are spared penetration shots or real genitalia , although phony penises , many in startling iterations , abound , as do some flashes of female pubic hair . the 3d is merely one more of the film ' s visual extravagances , but viewers beware : some pretty weird stuff springs forward . as the asian film industry and their western partners contemplate how the west can be won , new china lion is wisely focusing for now on reaching filmgoers of chinese heritage in north america . with sex and zen , available to theatres in both 3d and traditional 2d formats , the initiative is trying for an edgier crowd that goes for things alternative .\nmore sex & zen sequels followed : another one from wong jing in 1998 , and a retrospectively - retitled \u2018early years\u2019 prequel made four years before the original . by the turn of the century , it was assumed that the series was spent . but that would be to ignore the viagra - like powers of the third dimension , as in 2011 sex & zen : extreme ecstasy was hyped up by its opportunistic producers as \u201cthe world\u2019s first 3d erotic movie\u201d . i suspect the equally opportunistic producers of the stewardesses would take issue with that , particularly as they made their film in 1969 . and other people might take issue with the word \u2018erotic\u2019 .\n( 1987 ) and numerous imitators about a battle with a sex - changing sorcerer . while such a story might have been okay on its own , as a sequel to the sublime\nthe soft - porn movie \u201c3 - d sex and zen : extreme ecstasy\u201d pulled in 13 . 1 million hong kong dollars ( us $ 1 . 7 million ) on its opening weekend in hong kong , topping the box - office chart for the four - day period ending sunday , according to the local motion picture industry association .\n3d sex and zen is a movie that has to be seen on the big screen and the alamo drafthouse \u2013 mason park is the only place you\u2019re going to be able to do that in houston . don\u2019t miss this film\u2019s limited engagement on the big screen . tickets are available to purchase now . ( due to the graphic nature of the content , no one under 18 years old will be admitted . )\nthe success of the first sex & zen more or less assured a sequel , but it would be five years before sex & zen ii hit the screens . there\u2019s no real connection to the first film : we have a new director ( chin man kei ) , an almost entirely new cast , and a worrying name suddenly appearing in the producer credits . wong jing is one of the most notorious hacks in hong kong cinema : for the last three decades or so , he\u2019s been using the hot cinematic trend of the day as the basis for a series of slapdash spoof movies with terrible jokes . which is sort of what he\u2019s done here , but in a good way .\nthe film , which reportedly heated up box office in asia , australia and new zealand but was banned in mainland china , is certainly edgy\u2014there are lots of orgies , loads of breasts bared , frequent couplings assuming a variety of positions and sex acts , girl - on - girl action , s & m , icky forms of torture , outrageous sex toys and other paraphernalia , creepy castrations and weird penis enhancement operations , etc . at the very least , no filmgoer who braves this journey will be left high and dry : if the body doesn\u2019t tingle ( in spite of so many loud moans and bumping sounds ) , at least minds boggle .\ngranted , 3d sex & zen : extreme ecstasy is streets ahead of the other two films in technical terms \u2013 it\u2019s glossily shot , and its subtitles are in something approaching grammatical english , even if they are a bit small . ( they are small , it\u2019s not just my eyesight . ) but the beauty of its photography just makes its torture porn posturing even more unacceptable . if you have to go for one of these films above all the others , i\u2019d suggest that it\u2019s the least known of the three that comes off best \u2013 sex & zen ii , where tragedy is repeated as farce . hell , if a confessions film had ended with robin askwith\u2019s veiny bang stick exploding , i\u2019d have enjoyed it . wouldn\u2019t you ?\nsign up for a fanalert and be the first to know when tickets and other exclusives are available in your area .\nant - man and the wasp , starring paul rudd and evangeline lilly , took the top spot at . . .\nbut in spring 2011 , a film came out whose performance was spectacular enough to make global headlines : a 3d production whose opening weekend effortlessly outgrossed that of avatar . how did it do that ? well , a title like 3d sex & zen : extreme ecstasy definitely helps . the film had a reasonably solid theatrical run worldwide , including here in the uk , where it\u2019s just been released on dvd in smudgy red / blue 3d . western viewers may not realise , though , that this is merely the most recent entry in a hong kong movie franchise that\u2019s been running for two decades now . in asia , they\u2019ve been wildly popular and successful : but here , the sex & zen movies are barely known outside of a small audience of grimly masturbating fanboys .\n3d sex an zen depicts the erotic exploits of a young ming dynasty scholar . as the scholar seeks a cure for his erectile dysfunction , he experiences a cornucopia of learning from a school of masters . when watching the film , you can expect \u201citems\u201d of all shapes and sizes ( and from a variety of species ) , bouncing breasts , beheadings and more \u2014 all in three glorious dimensions . producer stephen shiu yeuk -

sheng ( lawrence ng ) , a libertine who we first encounter having an argument with wise old man the sack monk about the nature of sex and pleasure . will this argument come around again to haunt him in the final scene ? of course it will : but we get to watch mei\u2019s sexual misadventures on the way to his comeuppance .\nthe sex and zen series has been going strong in china since 1991 when the first film , a hong kong erotic comedy directed by michael mak loosely adapted \u201cthe carnal prayer mat , \u201d a chinese erotic novel by 17th century author li yu . two sequels later , director christopher suen finally realized what it was was missing \u2014 3d . don\u2019t believe us ? the film actually out grossed james cameron\u2019s avatar in hong kong !\nsee the box office tab ( domestic ) and international tab ( international and worldwide ) for more cumulative box office records .\nwhat\u2019s that ? you were expecting to find this sexy or something , were you ? well , sorry about that . chinese audiences loved sex & zen , and it racked up a cool twenty million hk dollars at the box office despite the most restrictive certificate the censors could throw at it . but the main pleasure that a western viewer can get out of the film is trying to reverse engineer chinese sexual attitudes out of it . and the first thing you notice is just how adolescent the approach to sex is . size is everything : all too often , mak is happy to point his camera at a large pair of bouncing breasts and just leave it there for ten seconds . the sex scenes aren\u2019t in the least bit erotic \u2013 they\u2019re shot with the aesthetics of a kung fu movie , where the outrageousness of the physical contortions depicted outweighs any attempt at real world biology , or even physics .\nhong kong is home to the world ' s third largest film industry after hollywood and bombay . the movies tend to emphasize action , and lots of it . but according to the press release , the 200 films covered in stefan hammond ' s and mike wilkins ' s sex and zen and a bullet in the head are not just chop -

core pornographic movie . as a drama , it has paper - thin and inconsistent characters . that the main character and his wife suddenly miss each other is totally without substance . as a result , it fails to touch some members of the audience and the delivery of the message becomes very weak . on the whole , it is a cult movie mixing pornography , foul language , jokes , romance , gore and action . however , it falls between two stools . you are advised not to take the plot seriously and expect any hard -

'\nhaving said that , njandukalude nattil oridavela still manages to engage , thanks mainly to its ensemble cast . most admirable of the lot is nivin himself who turns on his usual affable charm . despite producing the film , the actor remains understated throughout the story . nivin merges into the background with the rest of the family and is happy being part of the ensemble . he doesn\u2019t make it a star\u2019s platform to display his heroics or histrionics .\nnivin pauly is the king of \u201csheepish cool\u201d in kerala . the 32 - year - old star with the self - effacing shy smile currently rules over the hearts of cinema goers down south with several mega hits like premam , action hero biju and om shanthi oshana to his credit in recent years . his latest - njandukalude nattil oridavela , literally translated as an interval in the land of crabs , is the much - awaited onam release this year .\nwhat ' s amazing about the malayalam industry is its capacity to floor the audiences with compelling dramas . in a way that some of the stories are not ' great ' per se . but when one leaves the dark room , one feels happy and satisfied . because these are films that have ' theatre ' moments that don ' t resonate on netflix or amazon prime . in that sense , njandukalude nattil oridavela is a thoroughly satisfying family drama that works better as a comedy drama .\nwhat ` s amazing about the malayalam industry is its capacity to floor the audiences with compelling dramas . in a way that some of the stories are not ` great ` per se . but when one leaves the dark room , one feels happy and satisfied . because these are films that have ` theatre ` moments that don ` t resonate on netflix or amazon prime . in that sense , njandukalude nattil oridavela is a thoroughly satisfying family drama that works better as a comedy drama .\nthere is no stopping south india\u2019s young superstar nivin pauly . after the thumping success of his first production venture \u2018action hero biju\u2019 , the charismatic actor is all set to produce his next \u2018njandukalude naatil oridavela\u2019 that will directed by debutant althaf salim . the premam star will produce the movie under the banner \u2018pauly jr pictures\u2019 .\na simple story . it is a family\u2019s fight against cancer . it\u2019s about how the family deals with an incident like this . njandukalude nattil oridavela is about how one can move on with life after hearing a shattering news like this . the film is about support and strength and it is something that gives an insight to what happens after being diagnosed with cancer . if you are a survivor , this is sure to strike a chord with you . and the unexpected loss adds another layer to the beautiful story .\nin his debut directorial , althaf salim has brought to light a debutante cinematographer and a debutante music director . mukesh muraleedharan cranks the camera for njandukalude naattil oridavela in a way that makes kochi look like the beautiful city she is . the music department has been handled by justin varghese who has done a good job with the songs and also the background score of the movie .\none of the best movies of the season , njandukalude naattil oridavela is the perfect package for a family entertainer . the way the movie discusses a very grave subject without melodramatic scenes , tear - jerking bgms and emotional performances is laudable . through his debut directorial , actor althaf makes it clear that he is not the little boy he seems to be and is here to stay .\nthis is perhaps the defining scene of njandukalude nattil oridavela , which appears to be an emotional at first , but has nice touch towards the end . for those expecting a premam of sorts , a lovely romance brews between kurien and rachel , whose father , too , is a cancer patient . you wouldn ' t be surprised that the boy - meets - girl happens inside a hospital . but what about nivin pauly , the star ? when rachel asks kurien whether he knows anything about love , the latter says ,\neven kids know about my premam .\nof course , you remember ' operation gurukulam ' .\nnivin paulys tryst with family dramas have been a happy one so far with last years jacobinte swargarajyam being the high point . so , naturally the expectations were high for actor - turned - director althafs debut directorial , njandukalude naattil oridavela . to his credit , althaf doesnt once make the movie feel as its a first - timers effort as he pulls the audience in right from the first few scenes .\nsongs of nivin pauly ' s movies usually become super - hit even before the movie release . after ' jacobinte swargarajyam ' , nivin will be next seen in an althaf salim ' s directorial debut , ' njandukalude nattil oridavela ' . and its songs will be composed by debutante justin varghese . his friends including thaikkudam bridge fame govind p menon have been showering wishes on social networking sites . govind wrote ,\nall the very best my darling aishwarya lekshmi for your debut film as the heroine to nivin pauly and moi chunk broi justin varghese for the debut in music direction . directed by our puthran althaf salim . may this be a classic !\n( sic )\ncrabs represent the zodiac cancer , and njandukalude naattil oridavela means ' an interval into the land of crabs . ' kurian chacko ( nivin pauly ) , a young man working in london is summoned to kerala by his parents chacko ( lal ) and sheela chacko ( shanthi krishna ) . he believes that they intend to fix his marriage during this visit , but things are quite different at home . the current generation parent - children relationship is the soul of this emotional family drama .\nnjandukalude nattil oridavela gives us scene after brilliantly written scene . the stretch where an uncharacteristic burst of self - pity is countered with a reminder that others have their own problems . the scene where the doctor becomes part of a chacko - family celebration \u2014 we don\u2019t even get a line from him , just a passing shot that reminds us of how strangers , especially those we meet during a crisis , can become family . the scene with a car that won\u2019t start , a superb bit of misdirection when it\u2019s repeated later . the awww moment involving an unexpected ring on a finger . the boating scene , where the family wonders if it will be bailed out of these deep waters . the strain of sculpting each scene differently does show sometimes \u2014 not all the punches land \u2014 but i am not going to hold ambition against a filmmaker who gets so much so right .\nconsider the eighty - year - old patriarch ( kl anthony ) of the chacko clan in njandukalude nattil oridavela ( an interval in the land of crabs ) . his memory is shot . ( he wants to invite rose for a party , and she\u2019s been dead twenty years . ) he needs constant supervision , which is done in turns by the family and , later , by a male nurse named yesudasan ( sharafudheen ) . one day , during prayer , he attempts to light a candle in front of a statuette of jesus in his room . his hand wobbles , unable to land on the wick . yesudasan rushes in . the setting appears one of great poignancy , but yesudasan says : \u201cat this rate , you\u2019ll set fire to not just the candle but jesus , his beard and the lamb by his side . \u201d instead of a solo violin , we get a whoopee cushion .\nrefrain from posting comments that are obscene , defamatory or inflammatory , and do not indulge in personal attacks , name calling or inciting hatred against any community . help us delete comments that do not follow these guidelines by marking them offensive . let ' s work together to keep the conversation civil .\nwe have sent you a verification email . to verify , just follow the link in the message\nb ' wood wrap : dr hathi of \u2018taarak mehta ka ooltah chashma\u2019 passes away , and more . . .\netimes is an entertainment , tv & lifestyle industry ' s promotional website and carries advertorials and native advertising .\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 bennett , coleman & co . ltd . all rights reserved .\nand sharaf .

based expatriate gets an unexpected call from his mother asking him to come home to kerala . his return to his homeland marks the beginning of one of the most interesting chapters of his life as his family is forced to face a situation that could turn their lives upside down . the film explores how each member of the family reacts to the situation , tackles it in their own way and collectively pulls themselves through .\nthe nivin pauly starrer , directed by debutante althaf salim , is set in the busy urban terrain of kochi , but in a calm and serene family atmosphere . tailor - made for the family audience , this melodrama celebrates the sense of togetherness and values of kinship .\nthe lead character of kurien , son of expatriate chacko ( lal ) and sheela ( shanthi krishna ) , is a rerun of brand nivin pauly , who is known for his naive cheerfulness and lovable attitude .\nthe\nbreak\n( idavela ) in the title indicates kurien ' s homecoming from london , which was necessitated by a crisis that has cobwebbed his family , back in kochi .\nthe film takes a neat one hour for chacko and sheela to reveal the crisis to their children , and another one to come out of it .\nthe film has an intriguing plot , a handful of adorable characters and a good amount of situational comedy . yet , a lagging script and a narrative that closely resembles a recent nivin pauly outing play spoilsport for the festival entertainer .\nas sheela , a college professor and woman of willpower , shanthi krishna shines brighter among the star cast . she finds the perfect supporter in lal , who plays the tense , fearful chacko .\nmost of the other characters are caricatures in nature and have nothing much to do . rachel , played by debutante aishwarya lekshmi , gives glimpses of a bold female character but ends up being just another heroine stereotype .\nmukesh muraleedharan ' s soothing frames keep the pleasant mood of the film alive throughout . however , a good amount of editing would have made the narrative a tighter one .\nthe opinions expressed here do not reflect those of malayala manorama . legal action under the it act will be taken against those making derogatory and obscene statements .\nthe trailer gives a glimpse of the action and romance that is in store .\nare you sure you want to unsubscribe from malayala manorama news letter / alert .\nurltoken no longer supports internet explorer 8 or earlier . please upgrade your browser .\nanother day dawns for sheela chacko who begins her morning with a walk with friends . returning home , she gets breakfast ready and then goes for a shower . that\u2019s when a little doubt creeps into her mind trigerring off events in the family . the first thing she does is call up her son kurien in london and asks him to return home soon . as the mole of suspicion grows , it turns into a mountain of reality to shatter the peace and joy in the chacko household .\na delightful watch is the honest and beautiful telling of a simple tale . with a grave issue at the centre , debutant director althaf salim weaves in innocent humour and a sensitivity that touches you now and then . how does the family deal with it ?\nthe casting is pitch perfect . the detailing of characters is neat and marks out each individual apart . chacko ( lal sr ) is the man of the house but a real mouse when it concerns his wife ; sheela ( shanthi krishna ) , his wife and a college professor , reveals her innate strength and pragmatism at the most tough phase of her life ; kurien ( nivin pauly ) , their son , is easy going but still grappling to find his own place ; eldest daughter mary ( srinda arhaan ) , who is married to tony ( siju wilson ) and a mother of a little girl ; and sarah ( ahaana krishna ) , the baby of the family . not to forget their grandpa suffering from alzhiemers .\nthe co - writers salim and george kora have not neglected the peripheral characters either . be it the compassionate dr saiju varkichan ( saiju kurup ) , chacko\u2019s dentist - buddy ( dileesh pothan ) and rachel ( aishwarya lakshmi ) kurien\u2019s love interest are marvellous too .\nthe spontaneous performances of the entire team brings the characters alive from the story board to the screen and to linger in viewers\u2019 minds . the film scores with their subtle acting .\nthe humour is innocent and clean . it\u2019s like eavesdropping on the chacko family and smiling to yourself \u2014 a scene in the hotel where chacko prepares to break the grave news to his children but goofs it all up ; another in the elevator where rachel breaks it to kurien that she is not serious about him .\nit\u2019s a poignant moment when kurien talks about their mother to his two sisters , how she had displayed fortitude when they had to evacuate from kuwait many years ago .\n\u2014 especially in the bonding between the son and mother . but then sheela chacko and shirley jacob are two different women and their battles were not similar .\npauly has produced this film and he has ensured that the focus is on the content of the film and not on his star image . justin verghese\u2019s music is another plus . mukesh muraleedharan\u2019s frames mostly shot indoors are beautiful .\nurltoken is the most widely read newspaper , and online site in english in the middle east . with a daily bpa audited paid circulation of over 93 , 068 as of june 2017 , and an online audience of 5 . 3 million uniques every month , it is your go to source for information on the region . sign up below to begin personalising your experience\nof the several things , sheela first needs to win over the dysfunctional family consisting of a not - so - courageous husband chacko ( lal ) , who is not accustomed to dispose off cigarette butts until his wife snaps at him .\nwe see an elder daughter , mary , whose husband tony ( siju wilson ) graciously donates rs 3 . 5 lakh for his mother - in - law ' s treatment . we later learn that it was the debt he owed chacko . there ' s the younger daughter sarah ( ahaana krishna ) , whose glowing eyes are far bigger than her role . lastly , our hero , kurien chacko ( nivin pauly ) , who returns from london . he misinterprets a call from his mother as the sign of an arranged marriage set up in india . the family reunites to support sheela , mentally .\nin one of the several hilarious scenes , chacko has to break the news to the family . when sheela returns to the dining table , she is comforted by others upon hearing that it ' s her husband who has cancer . remember chacko ' s courage ? sympathy is the least that sheela expects from the others , who offer relentless prayers . sheela is a brave and a rational woman . especially when she leaves for chemotherapy . sheela , however , says that she ' s not superstitious , but anticipates very little that ' s left of her ' journey ' when kurien tries to start the car .\ndirector althaf salim has to be appreciated for writing a light - hearted comedy about the lives of chacko and his family . take this scene for instance . when sheela shaves her head after the chemo session , the family flips out . chacko rings up the doctor at night , followed by kurien . the doctor candidly says ,\nremember , newton ' s third law .\nto which , kurien shrugs and replies ,\none moment .\nnivin ' s timing is fantastic .\nkoffee with anu -

screen tragedies , and makes a film that\u2019s \u2014 there\u2019s no other word for it \u2014 wholesome . we do get scenes in hospitals and scenes featuring the dismaying after - effects of treatment , but the defining mood is that of the stretch where a doctor ( saiju kurup ) is asked to please leave the office \u2014 his own office \u2014 so the family gathered there can sort things out . the tone isn\u2019t haha ( though there are many laugh - out - loud moments ) . it\u2019s played in a minor key . a video recording of you during the movie will show you smiling a lot .\neven the minor characters \u2014 like sarah\u2019s boyfriend who faces kurien with amusing amounts of confidence , or even the recurring packets of junk food \u2014 are marvellous . we laugh with them , tear up with them ( kurien ' s recollection of his mother\u2019s bravery in kuwait left me puddle - eyed ) \u2014 not because they face an extraordinary situation but because they go through it so ordinarily . or rather , we should say the ordinary becomes extraordinary . a discussion in an early scene between the siblings hovers on topics like dowry and kurien\u2019s weight ( a refreshingly self - aware touch from producer pauly , who does look heavier ) without landing on anything . it\u2019s just banter , as opposed to the dialogue we get in other films , which is always about something . the nothingness in this conversation is enough to define the closeness of these siblings . another film would have given us pillow fights .\nand what about the star ? nivin pauly ( who seems to have an amazing nose for scripts ) does get a heroine ( aishwarya lekshmi ) in a track that could have been better , and he does get a fourth - wall - breaking moment where he references his biggest hit , premam . but like fahadh faasil in thondimuthalum driksakshiyum , he puts himself in service of the story . this definition of star power we find only in the young stars of malayalam cinema . it\u2019s not about hogging every scene . it\u2019s about using your clout to get a certain kind of movie made .\nbaradwaj rangan is a national award - winning film critic . he has authored conversations with mani ratnam and dispatches from the wall corner . his long - form story on vikram was featured in the caravan book of profiles , as one of their \u201ctwelve definitive profiles . \u201d his short story , the call , was published in the indian quarterly . he has written screenplays and works for theatre . he teaches a course on cinema at the asian college of journalism , chennai .\nfilm companion is a celebration of the movies . it\u2019s a platform that is committed to quality journalism , which is well -

off with a voice - over narration introducing us to just another day in the life of the chacko family - sheela ( shanthi krishna ) and chacko ( lal ) . over the next few minutes we get to know that something is amiss , sheela summons her son kurian ( nivin pauly ) from london and we soon get to know that she fears that she has breast cancer and wants her family around her . besides kurian , sheela and chacko\u2019s two daughters sarah , mary and her husband tony make for the core of the family with their grandfather on the fringe . how the chacko family comes to terms with and handles the cancer scare makes up for the rest of the film\u2019s narrative .\nnow , this is an interesting premise to begin with . a soulful yet light - hearted take about a family dealing with cancer has so many possibilities - there could be a \u2018dysfunctional relation that\u2019s repaired during a time of crisis\u2019 strand in the story or there could be the exploration of \u2018a character coming of age because of the tragedy unwinding around him\u2019 element or if nothing else there could perhaps be a simple \u2018mother - son relationship that finds a new meaning\u2019 kind of take in the story .\nhowever , writers althaf salim and george kora don\u2019t bring any such elements to their script . there is absolutely no graph that the characters in the film travel as it unspools over the next 130 odd minutes .\nthe film has no \u201cmoments\u201d where we see the family connect with each other in their hour of grief . instead , we have lighter to more comical moments ( such as a long drawn out sequence in which chacko unsuccessfully attempts to break the news to the various members of his family ) which make their bonding and the tragedy at hand seem superficial .\na comparison to the earlier nivin pauly - starrer jacobinte swargrajyam ( 2016 ) comes to mind . in the vineeth srinivasan directed film , where a family comes together to survive a financial crisis , the family\u2019s tension is palpable , the growth of almost every family member\u2019s character arc is visible as the story unfolds , but there is no such layering or shades in althaf salim\u2019s film .\nshanthi krishna is pitch perfect while lal is endearing as the robust , towering dad with a booming voice who is too scared to take his wife for her first chemotherapy session .\na stirring scene in the climax of the chacko family out boating in kodaikanal while awaiting a crucial test report redeems the film somewhat , but it\u2019s too late . what could have been a magnificent touching tale of a family\u2019s emotional journey is reduced to a fizzy , forgettable trip to nowhere in particular .\n( the quint is now on whatsapp . to receive handpicked stories on topics you care about , subscribe to our whatsapp services . just go to urltoken and hit the subscribe button . )\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nkurian chacko , an expatriate whose return to his homeland marks the beginning of one of the most interesting chapters in his life .\nthe\nmost anticipated indian movies and shows\nwidget tracks the real -

( characters presumed dead miraculously manage to survive . snipers suddenly discover a humanitarian side . )\nthroughout the film , sheridan gives us little insights into the callous way that native americans are still treated in the us . there are no fbi statistics on the disappearance of native american women . their abductions or deaths don\u2019t provoke much in the way of sympathy or intervention from the authorities .\nmaverick movie : in 1976 , wertm\u00fcller recorded history with her film seven beauties ( pasqualino sette bellezze ) , becoming the first woman nominated for an academy award for directing . the lives of low - income southern italians , a reoccurring theme in her work , show up in this international success .\nmaverick movie : for 1992\u2019s the piano , campion became the second woman nominated for academy award for best director at the 1994 ceremony , where the film won best original screenplay . the protagonist is a mute pianist struggling with her position in an arranged marriage in mid - 19th century new zealand .\nthe film is intended as the first of two features based by on the stephen king novel . the characters here will come back again as adults and face off against the diabolic clown all over again . whether or not the sequel can recapture the intensity of the first part remains to be seen .\nthe film , though , is uplifting and very moving . it shows its subjects coming together to help one another . prisoners form very close bonds with each other and with the civilians . it becomes apparent that the civilians have just as many demons eating away at them as the men behind bars ,\nthere are a lot of exciting chases in\nrenegades\nand some nice chemistry and comic dialogue between the stars , but the story just piles one ridiculous element upon another until audience - members are bound to be scratching their heads in disbelief . not the least of these is the mayhem in the streets and the innocent bystanders who must have been injured if not killed along the way , with seemingly no one in the city as outraged as phillips is about his brother .\n\u0093it had great humour , great action , and a strong , believable relationship between the two main characters , \u0094 claims director jack sholder of the script of this buddy - cop - chase movie . sholder\u0092s most distinguished earlier work , the hidden , was a triumph not of subtle character interplay or perceptive social comment but of crashed cars , machine - gun shoot - outs , energetic running - around and trashed public property . renegades , despite all that \u0093believable relationship\u0094 jazz , is simply more of the same .\ninstead of a wallander - like detective , the film offers us a wildlife ranger called cory lambert ( jeremy renner . ) he\u2019s an expert tracker and hunter who wears white to help him blend into the scenery . his job is to shoot wolves and mountain lions that may be threatening the livestock on the wind river reservation .\na little more context would surely have helped . we have no idea who is fighting whom or where oum\u2019s husband has gone , or why all the other neighbours have fled . this means that insyriated lacks any local identity . it risks becoming just another generalised film about the pity and squalor of war as experienced on the domestic front .\nfrom the earliest days of moving pictures , men have dominated the industry both on and off - screen , but even before women had the right to vote , a few pioneer ladies were already becoming industry leaders . because film is traditionally more closed to women , these daring ladies have had to be even more innovative to get their pictures noticed .\nthe film unfolds over one summer in derry , a small american town that is cursed . when kids do their research in the local library , they discover that people here have a nasty habit of dying and disappearing . every 27 years , a fiendish clown with teeth that the average great white shark would envy reappears to harvest some new flesh .\nit would have been so easy to have made it such . the fact that it takes itself far too seriously and the fact that it decides to not have any comedy in it at all is absolutely bizarre . this was the perfect daft setup for a buddy cop film and yet it decides on something grittier and more serious and what the fuck for ?\nthe filmmakers aren\u2019t just able to draw on stephen king\u2019s back catalogue . they have a whole history of horror to borrow from . there are nods here in the direction of nic roeg\u2019s don\u2019t look now . ( the missing kid here wears a yellow coat that is as easy to spot as the red macintosh worn by the drowning child in roeg\u2019s film . )\nalthough set in wyoming ( supposedly in the spring ) , this is a story that unfolds in a very bleak and icy environment in which the wind chill factor is always well below zero . it\u2019s very well written , albeit a little portentous and self - conscious . the film digs away at the hidden grief of its characters while every so often exploding into extreme violence .\nthere\u2019s a double dose of nostalgia in the tremendous new stephen king adaptation . the film manages the feat of being very evocative and , on occasion , quite terrifying . it harks back to the great stephen king adaptations of the 1980s , most notably stand by me . those films in turn often demonstrated a yearning for lost childhoods and times past ; the dear dead days beyond recall .\nother work : after publishing a memoir of her stripping career , cody moved into screenwriting . following juno \u2019s success , cody has sold a number of other edgy scripts , from the horror film jennifer\u2019s body ( note that horror is a stereotype -

american fella . both , have one goal : to takedown a ruthless baddie . they have different reasons , but both want justice . they play by different rules , don ' t really get along , come from two completely different cultures , and like to crack jokes on each other . however , when it gets heated , will they put the their differences aside , to save the fuckin ' day ? it ' s renegades , the\nbuddy flick\ndirected by the same guy who brought us freddy ' s revenge . what could go wrong ?\nmaverick movie : for her direction of the war drama the hurt locker ( 2010 ) , bigelow became the first woman to win the academy award for best director . not only did she foray into a genre considered particularly masculine , there she found success . with contemporary relevance as a film about the iraq war , the hurt locker earned bigelow a spot on time\u2019s list of the 100 most influential people of the year in 2010 .\nmaverick movie : for 2003\u2019s lost in translation , which won the oscar for best original screenplay , coppola became only the third woman to be nominated for the best director award\u2014stepping far out from her father\u2019s shadow . the film was also nominated for best picture , and her best director nomination was the first for an american woman . with her screenplay win she extended her family\u2019s oscar legacy , making the coppolas the second clan to win for three generations .\ni use this blog to talk about things that i want to get off my chest and things that interest me . as well as cultural stuff , tv show & movie reviews , favourite lists and likes . since 2016 , i have been focusing a lot on film reviews . with a prime emphasis on the 1980s and 1990s , though i occasionally dip my toes in post - 2000s and 1970s films - if they are interesting or good , that is .\nthis means the tempo is on the languid side . lambert likes to sit and think . he does drive his snow bike at speeds of 80 mph or more but that doesn\u2019t mean he is ever in a hurry . like hawkeye in last of the mohicans , he relies on stealth , not speed . the elegiac music from nick cave and warren ellis adds to the film\u2019s dreamy , slow motion quality , and to the feeling of sadness and loss with which the story is imbued .\ni am not the greatest fan of 80s buddy movies but it\u2019s pretty difficult not to like a film whose future buddies are young kiefer sutherland ( in his pre - \u201ctorture is awesome\u201d phase ) and lou diamond phillips ( in his pre - \u201csheriff roles only\u201d phase ) . together , in good 80s action movies tradition , they fight slightly more crime than they commit themselves , crash cars , smash a large amount of things , and hurt or kill a lot of people in hilarious and improbable ways .\nearly in the film sutherland is chasing the bad guys through the city when they pause in a museum just long enough to steal a sacred lance and kill phillips ' brother , after about two dozen other people have bitten the dust . naturally , this prompts phillips , a low - key lakota sioux indian who thinks before he acts , to seek revenge . so he latches onto a reluctant sutherland , making for an uneasy pair of odd - couple detectives on the run from both crooks and cops as they track down the killers .\nfor once , the captain character in this sort of film ( given by cop specialist bill smitrovich ) does have an actual role to play in the plot apart from reaming out the insane , violent cop working for him , and even buster\u2019s absurd crusade against crooked cops has a reason to it . it\u2019s nothing original , mind you , but i do think including some bits and pieces that actually make a degree of sense and hint at the real world in a plot only helps to make the general outrageousness of your typical action movies that decisive bit more interesting . characters for their part are seldom\nbut after seeing an early version of the film , phillips was a bit surprised by the violence .\ni saw a rough cut and i think we dwell on the violence a little bit . i was a little surprised . you never know if they ' re shooting slow - mo ( slow - motion ) , and it ' s operatic to a certain extent . i don ' t think it ' s as violent as ` the untouchables ' or , say , ` robocop , ' or something like that . and that ' s not an excuse . i didn ' t think we needed as much of it .\non the flight , the gang and the idiot cop stumble into an exhibition where marino finds the time and inclination to grab the holy lance of the lakota , and shoot one of the lakota men watching over it . that man\u2019s brother , hank storm ( lou diamond phillips ) , promises to get back the lance and take revenge for his brother . a fine opportunity to start on this work opens up to hank when his mystical indian tracking powers ( seriously , that\u2019s how the film plays it and will continue to play it ) lead him to buster , who is in rather bad shape after moreno ended their short - lived partnership by shooting him .\none significant arena in which women acted publicly to express concern about the types of films made and screened in australia was the 1927 royal commission on the moving picture industry . of the 253 witnesses who gave evidence , 41 were women , most of whom were , using the commissioners ' phrase , ' keen observers of the effect of films upon the community ' ( report of the royal commission on the moving picture industry in australia , 2 ) . these ' keen observing ' women , most representing women ' s organisations , unanimously supported film censorship and detailed specific roles that women should play in enforcing it . mrs edith waterworth , a member of the state film censorship board in hobart , argued at the royal commission that women , as citizens and mothers , have two claims to public representation while men only have one . as mothers , she asserted , they ' necessarily have to give far more careful thought to the rearing of children than is given by a father ' ( royal commission on the moving picture industry in australia , minutes of evidence , par . 16905 , 588 ) . despite women ' s dual claim to representation , waterworth ' s focus was almost exclusively on women ' s civic maternalism ( as defined by warne , among others ) . this is replicated in the evidence of other women too .\ndirector jack sholder\u2019s just the right kind of guy at the right kind of place here , shooting the insipid , the hilarious and the exciting all in the straightforward and unpretentious manner this kind of thing demands , until nothing made of glass isn\u2019t broken . it\u2019s such a bunch of merry carnage ( not terribly brutal as these films go ) broken up by semi - embarrassing indian ( that\u2019s the word the film prefers to use , even though it has the perfectly good word \u201clakota\u201d right there in the script ; buster of course is racist dickhead enough to always call hank \u201cchief\u201d ) mysticism , and general nonsense that it\u2019s easy to miss that the script actually has some perfectly neat ideas beside the nonsense .\nthe two heroes are as suspicious of each other as they are wary of the villains , of course . their attempts to outwit each other are as blatant and obvious as the stereotypes the film relies on . the criminal boss is named marino , and though he looks like an ivy league wasp , he has meetings in an italian restaurant where the waiters pack guns . mr . sutherland ' s buster mchenry is the honest - cop kid of a bad - cop father . and mr . phillips plays the son of a medicine man whose chants are able to restore mr . sutherland ' s health after he is shot . the strong , smart indians are positive stereotypes , but they ' re stereotypes nonetheless .\nin addition to that outlined above , i also occasionally work as a forensic musicologist / expert witness on a consultancy basis . recent activity includes work for warner chappell and universal music on copyright infringement cases ( including a major west end show and a number of international recording artist recordings ) . i have also recently acted as a consultant for both edexel and the arts council of wales on ways in which the a level school music curriculum can resonate more closely with the university sector . regarding my work on frank zappa , i acted as an advisor on a recent edition of the american tv series history detectives , when the programme investigated the authenticity of one of frank zappa\u2019s paintings . i also regularly undertake peer reviews for research projects and journals , with recent activities including reviews for the journal of adaptation in film and performance , the brock review , the economic and social research council and the higher education academy .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\ndaily box office ( sun . ) | weekend box office ( jul . 6\u20138 ) | # 1 movie : ' ant -

screen and slowly terrifies . cold prey ' s dark atmosphere and sense of helplessness ( as the characters are in the middle of nowhere ) only add to its strong , original story and elevate this film beyond anything that we have seen in the horror genre since the 1980 ' s . i am very impressed with the norwegian output in the horror genre , and cold prey is a terrific slasher film that will definitely become popular over time . given time , this film will find its audience . to sum up cold prey , it ' s a slasher film that brings back key elements of the slasher film formula very well and it ' s reminiscent of classic vintage slasher greats . cold prey is one of the few genre films to really terrorize the viewer . this film has something that most slasher films do not possesses and that ' s a feeling of constant suspense . if you ' re a fan of the genre , then you ' ll surely enjoy this one . with a good cast and effective directing , cold prey delivers memorable thrills and shocks that successfully brings back key elements that made slasher films exciting a fun to watch . cold prey is one of the finer norwegian horror films and is among the best films in the horror genre in a very long time .\ni\u2019m a pretty big fan of anchor bay\u2019s norwegian slasher film cold prey ( fritt vilt ) , a stylish , cold interpretation of our classic slasher franchises of the past 30 years . learning that the producers were quickly going into production on a sequel ( and planning a third film ) only heightened by excitement , being that i\u2019m always happy to have a new icon roaming around murdering folks . like the first film , i was lucky enough to get my hands on a copy of cold prey ii .\na prequel to the first two cold prey movies taking place in the 80 ' s where a group of teenagers go to visit the abandoned hotel , only to find themselves hunted by the psychotic killer through the norwegian woods .\na quite superb sequel to cold prey , this is a film that certainly comes across as the determined effort not to be merely a cash -

of - the - mill slasher flicks that were scattered throughout the 2000 ' s , cold prey is a solid entry that rises above the pack with its stellar production values and a decent cast . roar uthaug directs this slasher movie and displays a few tricks up his sleeve , often playing with the audience ' s expectations . cold prey is a slasher film through and through , but one that relies more on tension than gore , and it ' s worth the view for that alone .\n\u201d mimics the burning sensation associated with painful cold ( usually reported at temperatures below 15 \u00b0c [ 59 \u00b0f ] ) . the thermal grill demonstrates that there is a central neural mechanism for the cold inhibition of pain . the cold bars in the grill ( below 20 \u00b0c [ 68 \u00b0f ] ) activate polymodal ( responding to different types of sensory stimulation )\nwhile more often than not the horror films that are coming out fall short , there seems to be some really good ones coming from other countries . when the 2006 norwegian slasher flick cold prey aka fritt vilt hit it was not only considered one of the best norwegian horror movies , but scored some major points in the us as well . now thanks to shout factory the highly anticipated 2008 sequel cold prey ii aka fritt vilt ii is now getting a release here in the states , but does it live up to the original ?\n, that initiate sensations similar to hot and cold . some types of cells , including merkel cells , which are involved in\nof blood flow and pain explains the intense burning experienced when lukewarm water is applied to feet that are numb from cold .\nthe director and star of the critically acclaimed cold prey team up once again for a thrilling , action - packed adventure that marries the best of the hunger games and mad max as a young girl fights for survival against brutal warriors in a disease - ridden medieval world .\na well - crafted slasher pic with distinct local flavor , the original 2006 \u201ccold prey \u201d was a sleeper smash at the norwegian box office . sequel has become an outright phenom , breaking domestic - product records since its oct . 10 release . if its predecessor was more or less \u201challoween\u201d in the snow , \u201ccold prey ii\u201d quite blatantly apes 1981\u2019s \u201challoween ii\u201d \u2014 from its hospital setting to its workmanlike but more generic scare - machine flavor . as the original traveled much farther on dvd , offshore theatrical prospects for part deux look solid but limited ; smallscreen sales should be robust .\ncaterpillars of the eastern tent caterpillar moth ( malacosoma americanum , family lasiocampidae ) have cold -

between is so incredibly boring , and the characters are so one - dimensional . even in carpenter\u2019s halloween sequel the hospital attendants are fun and have some sort of characterization , in cold prey they\u2019re just bodies to mutilate .\ncold prey 2 to me is halloween 2 norwegian style . it takes place right after the events of the first film as our heroine from the first is taken to a nearby hospital . in essence cold prey 2 is a fusion of halloween 2 and friday the 13th part 4 : the final chapter but again it has its own stamp and it stands alone and proud in the slasher genre . cold prey 2 doesn ' t bring anything new to the table other than it is a full throttle attack on the senses . our killer is one mean son of a gun and his image is not far off kane hodder ' s jason in friday the 13th part 7 : the new blood . again we are treated to some great atmosphere and settings that are dark , brooding and foreboding at the best of times . throw in some great kills and you have one of the better horror sequels in some time . on to review part 3 .\n, as well as in regions on the hands and feet ( paws in quadrupeds ) . while both cold and warm receptors are innervated by unmyelinated\npower rangers time force had jen being a bit cold towards wes , partly because he was inexperienced and also his resemblance towards her deceased boyfriend .\nroar uthaug is familiar with the work of alexandre aja . i don\u2019t know this for a fact but after watching \u201ccold prey\u201d , i\u2019d lay my next paycheck on it . to be pointed , uthaug\u2019s 2006 norwegian slasher is so stylistically similar to aja\u2019s \u201cthe hills have eyes\u201d remake that were it not for the little matter of snow vs . sand you might well think you were watching aja\u2019s mutant retread reset in jotunheimen .\nthe ice has eyes\n, if you will . that both films were in production around the same time probably just means that\ncold prey\u2019 was more informed by \u201chaute tension\u201d than it was\nthe hills have eyes\n.\nby skin temperatures above 45 \u00b0c ( 113 \u00b0f ) , which corresponds to the brief sensation of cold that humans report when a hot object is touched or when the hand is put into hot water . in contrast , the sharp biting sensation elicited by touching an object at deep cold temperatures ( such as\nisolated , snowbound locales make for great slasher movie locations , from satan ' s blade ( 1982 ) , to iced ( 1988 ) and most recently shredder ( 2003 ) . however , the main inspiration for roar uthaug ' s cold prey ( both in structure and pacing ) is clearly stanley kubrick ' s the shining ( 1980 ) . herein lies the film ' s greatest weakness : whilst i ' m all for a slow burn when it comes to establishing characters and background , cold prey meanders when it should be rushing and although well constructed never quite hits the levels of hysteria ( and sheer entertainment value ) you ' d expect from the best of the subgenre .\nhowever , as the evening wears on tobias and his pals realize that the lodge isn ' t as abandoned as they thought , and its sole inhabitant is a madman who is determined to see them dead . a major box office success in norway , fritt vilt ( aka cold prey ) was the first feature film from director roar uthaug .\nnorway doesn ' t exactly have a history that i ' m aware of horror films \u2013 let alone slasher flicks ( although , like buses , there ' s another coming in 2008 called rovdyr seemingly inspired by its good show at the norwegian box office ) \u2013 so i was keen to see cold prey after it garnered a rash of very positive reviews on the web . i expected to like it a lot , but despite being well shot this snowbound effort ultimately left me a little cold .\nthe cold and warm thermoreceptors of mammals show dynamic as well as static excitatory or inhibitory discharge responses . these responses represent the magnitude and rate of change of cold and warm stimuli . the thermoreceptors have spotlike receptive fields in the skin , and cold receptors are more numerous than warm receptors in the skin . warm receptors are found primarily in deep tissues ( e . g . , muscle and viscera ) . skin thermoreceptors are concentrated in orofacial regions around the mouth ,\ncold - blooded animals such as lizards maintain safe body temperatures by moving into locations of favourable temperature . this behaviour is largely influenced by thermoreceptors in the skin .\nthird film in the cold prey trilogy is a prequel to the first two films and it takes place in the 1980 ' s . for a third entry in a slasher franchise , this still has plenty of effective ideas to make it an interesting watch for genre fans . cold prey still has all the necessary things that you ' d expect from this series , and it not only relies on gory kills , but suspense and atmosphere to build the tension on - screen . the norwegians are truly wonderful in creating intense horror films that bring back traditional elements that has made the genre worth seeing . this prequel should appeal to fans , but like every other third part in any series , the film does start to show a certain lack of inspiration . luckily the film does still have lots to offer for fans looking for effective thrills . cold prey 3 could have been done better , but like i said , there is enough good material presented here to make for a worthwhile viewing experience . i enjoyed the prequel and it has everything that i enjoyed from the first , albeit a tad watered down . however that is to be expected from a third film . this entry still has lots of gore and effectively great kill sequences that make up for a good slasher film . the cold prey films were a breath of fresh air in a horror genre that was stagnant , clich\u00e9 and lacked anything that was truly entertaining . for a prequel , cold prey 3 will surely appeal to fans and it is a horror picture that delivers the good yet again . although this better be the final entry in the series as we see that the film ' s ideas are struggling in some areas . nonetheless , this is still a worthwhile movie and one that delivers from start to finish .\ni don ' t know if i know enough about this subject to be able to make this judgement but i don ' t care because i ' m going to make it anyway . if cold prey 2 isn ' t one of the finest slasher sequels ever made then i ' d like to see the shed -

shaped wall . the cold sensilla are mechanically protected by large bristles covering the segments of the antenna . at constant temperatures the cold receptor is continuously active . when the receptor is rapidly cooled , its discharge frequency rises steeply and then declines gradually to a lower constant level ; on rapid warming , the opposite response occurs .\nwarm - blooded animals such as the arctic fox ( alopex lagopus ) can use nonshivering thermogenesis , the production of heat through metabolic processes , to maintain body temperature in cold climates .\ncold prey\n. was a pretty good movie and was beautifully shot and lit but it was not well defined because no real back story was given about the killer . we as an audience were given a scenario that wasn ' t defined clearly enough to decipher what was or wasn ' t . at the end of the day it is pretty light on gore . i recently purchased cold prey 2 and in that film they made sense of what was not explained in this film . there was a bit of an old school feel to it and some creepy moments and a couple of good kills but not enough that will satisfy the die hard slasher fan . the battle for survival at the end is the highlight of the film this and the atmosphere are why i give it 4 stars . .\nthe real strength of cold prey is its stylish presentation of its atmospheric , and often gorgeous , setting . the film was shot on location , which gives much greater freedom for a bunch of film - makers filming on a shoestring . admittedly while the film\u2019s visual identity is strong , none of the kills leave much to be desired , for a slasher it is amazing how little gore there actually is in\u2026\ncold prey was hailed as one of the best modern norwegian horror movies and the most successful franchise of its kind . la scala recently wrote , produced and directed the remaining for sony and produced amityville : the awakening , which will be released june 30 . that film stars jennifer jason leigh and bella thorne through dimension . la scala also was an executive producer on the adam fields\u2019 produced cult favorite donnie darko .\non the plus side , anders flatland\u2019s widescreen lensing is as crisp as daniel voldheim\u2019s prior job , peaked by spectacular mountain scenery both films should have exploited more . perfs ( with marthe snorresdotter rovik as an intern who emerges as jannicke\u2019s fellow resilient heroine ) are strong enough . returning composer magnus beite , editor jon endre mork and production designer astrid saetren all maintain \u201ccold prey\u2019s\u201d taut aethetics , even as the script falls short .\nthat a cold metal object ( e . g . , a silver dollar ) placed on the skin seems heavier than the same object at a warm temperature . this phenomenon , known as the\nthe rspb\u2019s investigations department publishes an annual report on all wildlife crime . the most recent edition , for 2013 , documents 164 cases of shooting or destruction of birds of prey in which the evidence points strongly towards the actions of gamekeepers .\ncortex . a variety of behavioral responses are elicited through stimulation of thermoreceptors , including changes in body posture that help regulate heat loss and the huddling together of a group of animals in cold weather .\ncold prey : following a gruesome accident , five friends ' idyllic snowboarding expedition to the jotunheimen mountains takes a turn for the eerie when they are forced to take shelter from a ravaging storm in an abandoned ski lodge . empty and silent , the cavernous lodge seems deserted - - but there are secrets here . these secrets are long buried , thought forgotten and very , very dangerous . before the night is out , those who survive will have discovered the true meaning of terror and looked into the very face of evil . cold prey 2 : in the winter of 2006 and five young friends meet a brutal death in the jotunheimen mountain range of norway . only a young woman survived . cold and weak jannicke struggles her way back to civilization . in the small local hospital the personnel are going through their daily routines . but then the bloody and beaten young woman is brought in . later jannicke wakes up in her hospital bed . but the hospital is darkened and not a living soul is in sight . alone she carefully steps out into the corridors . is her nightmare not over after all ?\nstenberg delivers a beautifully shot sequel that could easily make a theatrical run here in the states ( were it in english ) . but the problem with the film is that is incredibly generic and spends more time trying to emulate classic horror films that becoming a classic of its own . with no limitations , no mpaa to worry about , and a much more lenient set of producers , it\u2019s unfortunate that cold prey ii never quite pushes the envelope .\nthe first act of \u201ccold prey\u201d looks like a car commercial and plays the ship of fools ( vapid teens ) formula to a teetering doze . it\u2019s all excruciatingly familiar but thanks to some nice aerials shots and brisk cutting the second act reaches us in short order . unfortunately , the second act moves with less fluidity than the first . though it does manage to generate some tension along the way , it is not sufficient to offset the long minutes spent with pouty pillocks as they deal with trite dilemmas that remain largely unexplored until their death . what makes the characters issues even more annoying is that they are transparently manufactured to isolate one from another so that they can be killed off systematically . truthfully , familiar as it is , this formula is actually tried and true ; if the movie is\u2026um , actually moving . in the case of \u201ccold prey\u201d however , we stay frozen in place until the 40 minute mark .\nit also has probably the greatest slow - motion silent scene that brian de palma never directed when the killer is resuscitated to the horror of berdal . once the violence starts shortly after , it ' s arguable that cold prey 2 isn ' t quite as strong but the finale which sees berdal realise her fate and return to where it all began for her is a really strong way to put this chapter of the franchise to bed once and for all .\n, and humans , certain receptors are excited both by mechanical stimuli and by cooling stimuli . however , these nerve endings are primarily slowly adapting mechanoreceptors that are sensitive to graded pressure on the skin , and their sensitivity to cooling is not linearly related to temperature . in fact , mechanoreceptor nerve fibres that are sensitive to cold have increased spontaneous discharge frequency in the presence of cold stimuli . this is probably responsible for the\na - fibres that conduct impulses more rapidly than c - fibres . ( thus , a blockade of peripheral nerve conduction by maintained pressure will first interrupt touch , then cold , then finally sensations of warmth and\nwas exposed to decreasing temperatures , dropping from 28 to \u221210 \u00b0c ( 82 to 14 \u00b0f ) , the animal\u2019s core body and spinal cord temperatures increased , while its leg , neck , and back skin temperatures decreased . furthermore , different skin areas of birds appear to have varying thermosensitivity . for example , in pigeons skin on the back is more sensitive to the detection of warmth than skin on the wings and breast . in addition , nonfeathered skin areas , such as the legs and feet , have little sensitivity to cold or warm stimuli . many species of birds have a high degree of cold sensitivity , and thus , these species migrate to warm climates for the winter . in contrast , species that are cold - tolerant may migrate to avoid climates that become too warm . many cold - tolerant birds adjust their basal metabolic rates to avoid hypothermy .\nincubation ) , and the beak . thermoreceptors also exist in the spinal cord and brainstem ( though apparently not in the hypothalamus ) . early studies employing microelectrodes provided evidence of cold - sensitive thermoreceptors in the tongues of\n. temperature sensations in humans provide a measure of the activity of warm and cold receptors in the skin ; however , thermal comfort or discomfort reflects the general state of the thermoregulatory system , involving signals not only from thermoreceptors in the skin but also from the integrative centres in the brainstem and other regions . thus , the same temperature at the skin can be experienced as comfortable or uncomfortable , depending on the thermal condition of the person\u2019s whole body . for example , if one is overheated , cold is perceived as pleasant , but if the core body temperature is low , and one feels generally chilled , then the same cold stimulus is distinctly unpleasant .\n, changes in direct relation to fluctuations in the temperature of the environment . cold - blooded animals maintain safe body temperatures mainly by moving into locations of favourable temperature ( e . g . , shade or sunlight ) .\ni can ' t really recommend cold prey to those looking for something a little more frenetic and energetic , though i wouldn ' t go so far as to bury it underneath a snow bank , either . the best i can say about the movie is that its chilling , snowy atmosphere is well - handled , though in a negative reversal of that , said atmosphere takes its toll on the film ' s already - long running time . there were moments during the film when i desperately wanted the film to speed up a hair or two ; some of the setting accentuation could ' ve been excised in favor of getting to the point , and as we all know , an effective slasher film has two very important points among a dozen : suspense and murders . cold prey ' s killer is showcased via an odd editing choice : we see a boot here , and an arm there , but never enough of him to generate any real sense of fear or suspense . and , since his identity turns out to be perfunctory , you begin wondering why they went to the trouble of keeping his visage hidden . to give the film its due after the criticisms , it is , like i said before , well - shot and atmospherical , and the victims - to - be are a sympathetic bunch , and there are a few moments of sublime , gothic dread , but after all is said and done , cold prey left this reviewer searching for a warm blanket , and a better movie !\nit ' s getting late in the day and injured tobias needs to get out of the cold , so he and his friends take shelter in an abandoned ski lodge nearby , planning to head back into town in the morning .\n, where specialized neurons receive convergent input selectively from cold or warm thermoreceptors . both warm - and cool - sensitive cells summate input from a large number of peripheral thermoreceptors over broad areas of skin . this summation is fundamental for overcoming\nfor its first theatrical release , you\u2019d think that leomax entertainment would want at least an unknown sleeper hit to drive into theaters . on the contrary , leomax has picked up cold prey for a limited , 100 - theater release , followed by a dvd release from anchor bay , says the hollywood reporter . the norwegian chiller follows a group of college kids who find themselves in an abandoned ski lodge after a snowboard outing goes horribly wrong . despite being in norwegian , you\u2019d think the movie was straight out of hollywood .\nfrom the looks of the trailer , cold prey is right up there with the texas chainsaw massacre remake \u2014 offering over - saturated florescent lighting grimy sets . if you watch the trailer muted , you\u2019d swear it\u2019s the next b - movie horror release from the producers of stay alive . but nope , it\u2019s a norwegian import that leomax entertainment just had to release in north america . frankly , we need more foreign horror in our theaters , fear needs no translation , but importing crappy movies isn\u2019t the way to go .\nthis was purposeful on the producers ' part , because they felt that if sipowitz gave simone an extreme cold shoulder , and rejected him without giving him any chance , viewers would be more likely to see that and not do it themselves .\nobviously , the slasher flick is both blessed and cursed by conventions \u2013 and is not exactly known for its innovations . hide and seek theatrics are always fun , and cold prey certainly does have its moments . however , the only thing that really jumps out as ingeniously gruesome is the scene where the final victim - to - be has to pretend to be just another cadaver to escape the unwanted attentions of the killer . the fact that it ' s topped off with a ho - hum , ambiguous ( read lazy ) ending doesn ' t really help matters .\ndirected by mats stenberg , the film takes immediate cues from john carpenter\u2019s halloween sequel where laurie strode ( jamie lee curtis ) wakes up in a hospital following the horrid events on halloween . in cold prey ii , jannicke ( ingrid bols\u00f8 berdal ) wakes up in the hospital . all of her friends are dead\u2026 and so is the killer . the bodies are brought to the hospital , including our pickaxe - wielding madman . in an homage to friday the 13th part 6 , the murderer is resuscitated with a pair of defibrillators and is once again on a murderous rampage .\ncold prey has just the right amount of suspense , frightening sequences , and i actually cared about the characters . character development was good and acting was on point . i appreciated the dubbing because sometimes i don ' t feel like reading my films , as much as i do enjoy foreign styles . even though some parts remain a mystery , i ' m ok with that . the film is part of a trilogy and explanations in other films satisfy viewer curiosity . cinematography was very good and i like the group dynamic . i ' ve seen the movie several times .\nyet since then , raptors have shown remarkable powers of recuperation . despite allen lambert\u2019s worst efforts on the stody estate , his two victim species \u2013 sparrowhawk and buzzard \u2013 have strongly recovered from historical lows . sparrowhawks have tripled in number , while the buzzard population has increased at least sixfold and is now britain\u2019s most abundant bird of prey .\nact as directional distance receptors and make it possible for the reptile to strike at warm prey . each pit is a cavity about 1\u20135 mm ( 0 . 04\u20130 . 2 inches ) deep , equally as wide at the bottom , and narrowing toward the opening at the surface of the head . inside and separated from the bottom by a narrow\nthe franchise would go through bouts of sequel - itis and prequel - itis in 2008 and 2010 . i believe we are far enough removed from the original film that an english - language remake is fine . north america has enough remote resort towns along the rockies or the northeast that locations will not be an issue . cold prey was committed to following the rules of the slasher genre so there should not be any protesting wwe studios for taking what was the norm and making it . . . the norm again . it will be done cheap , quick and with a lineup of pretty young faces just happy to have the opportunity .\ntop ten : joe pi initially gets a cold response from some of the other cops , mostly because he ' s taking the place of a colleague who was killed in the line of duty . he quickly proves himself both on the streets and with his new partner ' s family .\n\u201ccold prey\u201d opens with a quick back - story that involves a child gone missing in the mountains of norway . from there the film tells a pretty straight tale about a group of 5 friends on a back country snowboarding trip . when one member of the group breaks his leg they are forced to take shelter in a derelict ski lodge . it\u2019s soon revealed that the lodge is the same place where the boy went missing some 30 years prior . the lodge , non - coincidentally , also happens to be home to a marauding mountain man with a pickax . from there the film enters stalk and slash mode and works to a familiar endpoint .\nin the pigeon columba livia different skin areas have varying thermosensitivity . for example , the skin on the back is more sensitive to warmth than the skin on the wings and breast , and nonfeathered skin areas , such as the legs and feet , have little sensitivity to warm or cold stimuli .\nstill , there\u2019s less attention paid to developing character this time around . and despite the unusually restrained 35 - minute build - up before carnage occurs \u2014 a warmup riddled with effective false scares \u2014 \u201ccold prey ii\u201d feels more routine than roar uthaug \u2019s original . there\u2019s scant surprise to who gets it and when , or to jannicke\u2019s summoning strength to protect a little boy ( vetle qvenild werring ) who\u2019s one of the hospital\u2019s few remaining patients . once again , the silent \u201cmountain man\u201d baddie ( robert follin ) is a little too generic ( and oft - seen in plain sight ) to stir mysterious charisma , with his raggedy leatherface - goes - aspen winter attire .\nbirds of prey are controversial precisely because it is in their nature to kill other animals . they are climax predators , sometimes competing with us at the top of the food chain for prey such as grouse or pheasant . yet they also possess beauty , drama , majesty , charisma ; and more than almost any other wild creatures they symbolise our wider relationship with place . their free - flying presence among us , circling over moor or mountain or woodland copse , expresses a kind of hope that modern britain can be something more than a functional estate , managed to suit ourselves . the killing of raptors is a crime , but it is also a failure to imagine a landscape as being about anything other than property or money .\nfollowing a gruesome accident , five friends ' idyllic snowboarding expedition to the jotunheimen mountains takes a turn for the eerie when they are forced to take shelter from a ravaging storm in an abandoned ski lodge . empty and silent , the cavernous lodge seems deserted - - but there are secrets here . these secrets are long buried , thought forgotten and very , very dangerous . before the night is out , those who survive will have discovered the true meaning of terror and looked into the very face of evil . in the classic tradition of seminal horror films wolf creek , halloween and my bloody valentine , cold prey is a tense , stylish and viciously unnerving journey into a frozen nightmare .\nthe plot is simplicity itself . well , to actually say that cold prey has a plot would perhaps be a gross exaggeration ; not that it meant it would be a bad film ( after all , the original halloween ' s leanness in that department is one of its many strengths ) . five friends in their early 20s head off into the wilds for an afternoon of snow boarding : a couple who are hot for each other , ingunn ( viktoria winge ) and mikal ( endre martin midtstigen ) ; another couple , with commitment problems eirik ( tomas alf larsen ) and jannicke ( ingrid bols\u00f8 berdal ) ; as well as their goofy companion morten tobias ( rolf kristian larsen ) .\nto underpin their claim of good behaviour , gamekeepers can point to the astonishing rise in the fortunes of some british raptors over the past half - century . birds of prey were among the last of britain\u2019s avifauna to receive legal protection , not least because they were so detested by game interests . it wasn\u2019t until 1962 that the law was amended to extend protection to the sparrowhawk .\n) in the skin , act to reduce body temperature . cool - seeking behaviours are motivated by emotions of thermal discomfort . when signals from cold receptors predominate , heat conservation and production mechanisms are initiated . thus , muscles expend energy in shivering and through other metabolic reactions ( nonshivering thermogenesis ) , cutaneous blood vessels narrow (\nwere found to be selectively sensitive to hot and cold stimuli . in animals thermoreception can be studied in different ways\u2014for example , through observations of behavioral responses to variations in temperature , through measurement of compensatory autonomic responses ( e . g . , sweating or panting ) to thermal disturbances , and through recording electrical impulses generated in the\ncold prey ( fritt vilt ) is clever , funny , terrifying and contains a surprising twist that i did not see coming . six friends go snow - boarding and when one gets injured , they decide to hole up in a abandoned ski lodge for the night . think you might know what ' s coming ? it ' s possible , but don ' t allow your preconceived notions to get the better of you . the characters range from whip - smart and tough to frivolous and silly , providing some necessary comic relief amid the tension . yes , it is foreign ( norwegian ) but it is easily one of the best horror movies to have been released in the last 10 years . definitely worth a watch for any horror buff !\nthat are selectively sensitive to warm or cool stimuli . in general , the specificity of thermoreceptors is quite narrow , in that their nerve endings are excited only , or primarily , by thermal stimuli . however , some thermoreceptors are polymodal , meaning they are capable of responding to both hot and cold stimuli , as well as to certain chemicals , such as\nin certain mechanoreceptors underlies the phenomenon of spontaneous cold sensitivity . such molecular evidence has been crucial in improving the understanding of thermoreception and has led to new approaches in the classification of sensory receptors . for example , today receptors sensitive to temperature and other sensory stimuli are more likely to be classified based on genetic similarities and molecular function rather than on the chemical\nat root , the campaign to halt the killing of wild birds of prey touches on issues that are historically embedded in english society . resistance to what is viewed as wider social interference in their private liberties is a long and impassioned cause for the landed interest in britain . modern conservationists seeking a quick fix in matters of raptor politics would do well to reflect on the campaign for a general right to roam in our countryside .\nthis movie cannot be described as gratuitous ; it has no nudity , little gore and breaks no new ground . interestingly , that may be the reason it succeeds on some levels . one of my greatest complaints about alexandre aja is that his\na - ha\nmoments ( sorry ) are consistently weak . he shows us so much good stuff upfront that by the end we have to be bathed in blood or baited with an unsatisfying twist just to stay interested in the outcome . uthaug doesn\u2019t commit the sin of over acceleration , his is the opposite problem . the ultimate conundrum for the viewer is that\ncold prey\nexists somewhere between its two best options . as an audience we either need characters that are less wooden or we need them to be killed off much faster .\nan afternoon of winter fun turns out to be unexpectedly chilling in this thriller . five friends head out for a weekend of snowboarding in the norwegian alps - - eirik ( tomas alf larsen ) and his longtime girlfriend jannicke ( ingrid bolso berdal ) , mikael ( endre martin midtstigen ) and his new significant other ingunn ( viktoria winge ) , and tobias ( rolf kristian larsen ) . tobias already feels like the odd man out since he ' s currently without a girlfriend , and he becomes a lot more uncomfortable when he breaks his leg while taking advantage of a secluded ski spot . it ' s getting late in the day and injured tobias needs to get out of the cold , so he and his friends take shelter in an abandoned ski lodge nearby , planning to head back into town in the morning . however , as the evening wears on tobias and his pals realize that the lodge isn ' t as abandoned as they thought , and its sole inhabitant is a madman who is determined to see them dead . a major box office success in norway , fritt vilt ( aka cold prey ) was the first feature film from director roar uthaug .\nand response maxima . the static activity of many cold receptors reaches a maximum at temperatures around 20\u201330 \u00b0c ( 68\u201386 \u00b0f ) . some thermoreceptors have lower thresholds ( i . e . , less than 30 \u00b0c [ 86 \u00b0f ] ) and maximal activity at colder temperatures ( i . e . , less than 20 \u00b0c [ 68 \u00b0f ] ) . for example , a thermoresponsive\nwithout giving too much away , there is a psychotic killer on the loose ( this is a slasher flick after all \u2013 although , if you watch the making of that comes with the british dvd you ' ll not hear it referred to which makes me wonder if there was a little bit of embarrassment from cast and crew on that point ) . the film opens with what appears to the murder of a young boy , buried in snow . this is followed by a montage of news clips about missing skiers and tourists over the years , as well as establishing that the boy in the prologue went missing from the hotel . cold prey ' s protagonists discover the luggage of missing people hidden behind the kitchen , as well as newspapers with headlines screaming ' hotel of evil ! ' ( although it ' s never explained why ) .\n[ updated with new teaser image . ] in the words of star ingrid bolso berdal ,\nthere will be crossbows . and leather outfits .\nwhen director roar uthaug and the team at norway ' s fante film last collaborated on a feature the result was cold prey ( fritt vilt ) , the picture largely responsible for kicking the current wave of nordic genre film into high gear . and now the gang is back together for flukt ( escape ) . an action picture set in the remote norwegian countryside during the 1300 ' s , with the nation in the grips of the black death , berdal will be playing the leader of a group of outlaws living in the mountains . and given the title of the picture i think it ' s safe to assume that someone ' s after her . in production now with an october . . .\ncold receptors respond to sudden cooling with a transient increase in discharge frequency ( called the dynamic response ) that is directly related to the prior temperature and the magnitude and rate of the temperature decrease . if the cooler temperature is maintained , the discharge frequency adapts to a frequency of static discharge that is directly related to the cooler temperature . when the cold receptor is warmed again , a transient decrease , or inhibition , in discharge frequency occurs , after which the frequency rises again and finally adapts to a new static value . warm receptors respond in a similar fashion to that of cold receptors , except that they show a dynamic response of increased discharge frequency to warming and a transient inhibition of discharge to cooling . thus , thermoreceptors are selectively sensitive to specific ranges of temperature , to the rate and direction of temperature change , and to the final temperature . in addition , thermoreceptors are directly sensitive to the absolute temperature at the receptor rather than to the gradient of temperature change within the tissue . there is also evidence that one population of innocuous cool - sensitive thermoreceptors innervates the epidermis , while another population has receptive endings that are situated more deeply in the dermal skin layer ."]}

werewolf vs . dracula scene ( 9 / 10 ) | movieclips\nif you love werewolf films you ' ll love this . the acting is a little hammy , the werewolf pretty decent and it ' s not your usual run of the mill werewolf story . there are sufficient jumps and some keenly tense moments summed up by a different but feel - good ending . good attempt to get back to basics with this genre\na series of crime reports by detective kelsey brannigan of the new york police department . as i didn ' t put in any author ' s notes on this one , to make it more realistic , i ' ll say it now : i do not own anything about the wolf among us . all rights go to telltale games .\nset during the 19th century , a small village is constantly under attack by werewolves , something that they have grown quite accustomed to as a community . in fact , it\u2019s so common that they even have a system for getting rid of those who become infected after a werewolf attack , which is to shoot them in the head and incinerate their corpse . the villagers seem to have everything under control , that is until a ferocious new breed of werewolf begins attacking the villagers , forcing the locals to hire a group of professional werewolf hunters to take out this vicious beast .\ntwo months after the events of ' wolf among us ' , bigby wolf is tired of being overworked and underappreciated . having had enough of the abrassive comments from friend and foe alike , he sets off on a well - needed vacation . can the inhabitants of fabletown cope without their rough sheriff ? will they finally realise the hardwork bigby does ? bigby certainly isn ' t waiting to find out .\nthe wolf man also influenced future filmmakers as well . cult films such as an american werewolf in london and the howling drew inspiration from the wolf man and made references to the film as well .\nthere is a pub in the west village of manhattan that at first glance is just another one of the many dive bars nyu students frequent . but this one is particularly tailored for the film school set with its low lighting , its faux - fire , and , of course , a giant life - sized werewolf devouring a peasant girl in the back . like its namesake from an american werewolf in london , the slaughtered lamb is a pub touched by the occult and supernatural\u2014it is also proof that over 35 years later horror fans can ' t shake the mark of beast left by john landis\u2019 lycanthrope classic .\nin 2014 , in a pop culture environment where \u201cmake it grim and gritty because we\u2019re ad ults ! \u201d is the default and least - inspired approach to everything innocent that ' s ever been made , the wolf among us feels right at home . that would be an insult if not for the fact that telltale games , by way of bill willingham ' s strong source material , is far too talented to waste the premise on violence and grim urban reality for its own sake .\nthe tropes often associated with the wolf man are also given a careful and grisly update . in that earlier universal horror , lon chaney\u2019s talbot had visions of wolves and the woman he loved , only to later see the pentagram ( the mark of the beast ) in spectrally manifest on her hand . however , american werewolf leaves the pentagram as a superstitious decoration for the locals at the slaughtered lamb . after david is bitten by proctor\u2019s furry boogeyman and ( barely ) lives to tell the tale , he is haunted by the kind of nightmares that might terrorize any hebrew child or grandchild of the world war ii generation .\njust on the outskirts of a town in middle europe , a family is attacked and killed by a werewolf with only the young daughter escaping with her life , though the monster is set alight by flames and returns to his human form before dying . 25 years later , the town is being terrorised by a similar beast . young daniel and eva are in love , but have to meet in secret because she is rich and he is poor . a team of skilled werewolf hunters arrives and makes plans to trap and kill the monster , and daniel decides to join them\u2026 . .\ntwenty - film years after a kid inadvertently kills the werewolf that ' s attacking his family by setting his house on fire , he finds himself in the rural town of dravicu on the hunt to kill more werewolves . meanwhile , a local doctor ' s apprentice seeks to join up with the group of werewolf hunters much to the reluctance of pretty much everybody else . the production values were a tad bit better than i expected and the acting , if over - dramatic , was still solid enough . the story was a bit on the predictable side , but i ' ve seen many worse werewolf films in my life .\nof course , this is not before he does transform into a werewolf two times in the film , the first being the magnificent and still unparalleled makeup and prosthetic effects baker used to map david\u2019s transformation to sam cooke\u2019s cover of \u201cblue moon . \u201d with no score to help baker\u2019s effects\u2014and elmer bernstein did deliver an underrated slice of eeriness for the film\u2014the makeup artist was forced to convince audiences a man was changing into a beast with bone - crushing realism .\nthere ' s a new threat in fabletown . a beast roams the streets at night , attacking anything and everything in sight . bigby tracks down and locks away the rogue creature , but its true identity causes a controversy within the fable community that threatens to uproot the peace between the humane and inhumane occupants of fabletown . on hiatus .\nit is easy to note that as one of the first movies that mixed laughs and screams as plentifully as rick baker\u2019s gooey effects mingled with the mud behind windsor castle , an american werewolf in london paved the way for a whole new style of thrills seen in the likes of lost boys , fright night , scream , shaun of the dead , and cabin in the woods , among others . it also remains the most visceral experience in prosthetic horror to date , handily winning rick baker the first oscar for makeup effects , as well as inspiring the michael jackson \u201cthriller\u201d video ( which landis also directed ) .\nfull financial estimates for this film , including domestic and international box office , video sales , video rentals , tv and ancillary revenue are available through our research services . for more information , please contact us at research @ urltoken .\ntalbot transforms into a wolf - like creature and stalks the village , first killing the local gravedigger . talbot retains vague memories of being a werewolf and wanting to kill , and continually struggles to overcome his condition . he is finally bludgeoned to death by his father with his own silver walking stick after attacking gwen . sir john talbot watches in horror as the dead werewolf transforms into his son ' s human form as the local police arrive on the scene .\nstephen rea is the most immediately recognisable name in the cast , and he ' s joined by the aforementioned quinn , guy wilson , nia peeples and steven bauer . the film shot on location in transylvania , so let ' s hope some of those vibes come through . it ' s out in the us on hallowe ' en , but there ' s no uk date yet .\nwow what a great film , very bloody but get past that ( and still kept your lunch down ) . it ' s about a young boy who eventually finds out his the werewolf .\nthat night , larry attempts to rescue gwen ' s friend jenny from what he believes to be a sudden wolf attack . he kills the beast with his new walking stick , but is bitten on the chest in the process . a gypsy fortuneteller named maleva ( maria ouspenskaya ) reveals to larry that the animal which bit him was actually her son bela ( bela lugosi ) in the form of a wolf . she also reveals that larry will transform into a wolf as well since he who is bitten by a werewolf and lives will turn into one himself .\ncomplaining about how bad limbo is with all the other werewolf victims , jack whines in exasperation , \u201chave you ever talked to a corpse ? it\u2019s boring ! i\u2019m lonely . kill yourself , david . \u201d\nthere\u2019s no safe place to hide as the all - new supernatural untitled werewolf thriller begins principal photography in and around bucharest , romania . universal celebrates its storied history of creatures and horror with an exhilarating original adventure that embraces the popular cultural resurgence of the age - old werewolf myth . breathtaking action and nail - biting suspense collide as an army of bounty hunters descend on a tiny hamlet in search of the most terrifying monster they have ever fought . the latest entry in the hugely successful dvd originals line from universal 1440 entertainment , a production entity of universal studios home entertainment , untitled werewolf thriller will be released on blu - ray , dvd , digital download and on demand in time for halloween 2012 .\nthe wolf man was not universal ' s first werewolf film . it was preceded by werewolf of london from 1935 , starring noted character actor henry hull in a quite different and more subtle werewolf makeup . as noted previously , hull objected to having his face entirely covered in latex and hair , and a less - hirsute , more devilish version was used in the film . the film was not a huge box office success , probably because audiences of the day thought it too similar in many ways to dr . jekyll and mr . hyde , for which fredric march had won an oscar three years before . some latter - day critics prefer henry hull ' s earlier werewolf to chaney ' s , which was described in carlos clarens ' s book an illustrated history of the horror film as\n. . . looking like a hirsute cossack .\nso for what appears to be a modest production value and mostly no - name or not very well known faces , this turned out to be a great little flick to watch . is it one of the best horror movies ? no , this is an entertainment only popcornfest . so we have a cowboy type in europe and questionable early eastern european accents , there are a few moments when the cg is noticeable - though i ' ll admit the transformation scenes are decent . my only complaint for the\nwolf\nis its head shape appeared a bit flat headed or too wide . anyway good solid story structure , decent action ( it reminded me of van hellsing but actually good ) it has its serious moments when needed , never takes itself too seriously and doesn ' t go full into silliness either . i ' d recommend as something to watch on movie night with friends for entertainment or even by itself . the beast among us delivers on what it ' s selling\nthis clarity of vision stayed with american werewolf since the movie had basically stayed with landis for over a decade prior to shooting . in fact , his script , which was first written at the age of 19 in 1969 , might also be the best screenplay ever penned by a teenager .\nthis method of operation extends to the action sequences , where telltale ' s penchant for qtes gets more room to stretch , granting multiple options for handling hostile suspects and enemies as harshly as you see fit . when bigby gets to wolf out in later episodes , your options become downright brutal . these later episodes , especially the final one , fall back on the mechanic more than is necessary , and it ' s unusual to fail in a truly meaningful way , but the game is far more heavy rain than dragon ' s lair when compared to telltale ' s previous work . in essence , if you ' ve played one telltale game of late , you already know how you ' re going to take to the wolf among us .\nwhere the game and its source material diverge is in aim and tone . fables the comic is very much a product of its medium ; it ' s a series of one - off mysteries , random tales of fable life , and more traditional , comic book character studies , showcasing magic just behind the scenes of a real world . the wolf among us , on the other hand , is less a story of what legends and folklore figures would do with the real world than a straight , neon - colored allegory , a dennis lehane nursery rhyme that uses the loss of a fairy tale homeland as a jumping off point to address issues of neighborhood class struggles and possibly the best exploration of immigration that isn ' t papers , please . it ' s sobering , sad , and tense , and occasionally , it even has time to be magical .\nthe simplicity of this assessment is the strength of american werewolf in london , because the picture is most decidedly an earnest depiction of the foreboding superstitions from a world gone by , but with the kind of self - assured skepticism of the baby boomer generation facing it down . cinematic language had not quite become so intertextual that there was a need to be deconstructionist or \u201cmeta\u201d about these intentions , albeit david and jack repeatedly mention the wolf man .\nset after the events of the video game . the story focuses on bigby and him dealing with the consequences of the choices hes made and what affect its had on his relationships .\nanother universal werewolf movie - hurray ! ! sadly it ' s more action than horror & the cgi lets it down . it reminded me of the film van helsing , only here it ' s werewolves not vampires being hunted . having said that the acting is good , plenty of action & gore , but a far cry from the classics .\nwelcomed by a rather mixed critical reception upon its release ( roger ebert called it \u201cweird\u201d and \u201cunfinished\u201d while janet maslin asserted that it backfires because of landis\u2019 \u201ccallow\u2019 tone ) , this cinematic hellhound has nonetheless stomped forward through the decades , remaining not only the pinnacle for the werewolf subgenre , but also a generational touchstone for the countless horror - comedies that followed .\n( 1935 ) but hull argued that the disguise made no sense within the plot , since two characters had to recognize\ndr . glendon\neven in his werewolf form . pierce was ordered to design a second version which left more of hull ' s face recognizable . pierce then recycled his design for the 1941 film .\none of the best werewolf movies i ' ve seen in a long time outside of the wolfman ( 2010 ) . this is good werewolf film ! well worth watching ! i did not find this movie to be a cheap , quick - to - make - money flick like i expected it to be . the visual effects are good and it has an interesting story to follow . the acting is quite good as well . it ' s got a gothic feel to the movie which i adore - that really drew me closer into the film ! i was highly entertained by this film and will watch it again one day . rating : 9 . 5 / 10\nbut for all of its influential importance , american werewolf is still feels both exceedingly modern a throwback , causing it to stand as a benchmark in a style that studios have desperately and consistently failed to emulate in our post - r - rating world . at this very moment , universal pictures is trying for the umpteenth time to reboot its \u201cuniversal monsters\u201d label , now as modern action movies with a shared universe . but an american werewolf in london almost effortlessly showed how to marry the gothic with the modern over three decades ago , and it ' s still the best horror reimagining ever made .\nsome still find this choice to be a mean - spirited one by a filmmaker that kicks us while we\u2019re down , but it sums up why the movie works so well . it allows tonal dissonance to play in its favor , and has no issue combining a gothic effect with a modern sensibility . it\u2019s succinct , visceral , and still unforgettable 35 years later .\nlouis morneau ( joy ride ii , hitcher ii : i\u2019ve been waiting ) directs the nightmarish hunt through an idyllic countryside shattered by an unstoppable beast . the film is produced by mike elliott ( the devils rejects , smokin\u2019 aces 2 ) , from a screenplay by michael tabb and the writing team of louis morneau & catherine cyran . a top - flight production team has also been assembled , including director of photography philip robertson , production designer david hirschfield and costume designer oana paunescu . the editor is mike jackson .\nthe sequence actually was shot in the wee small hours of the morning just outside of the windsor castle estate . with the damp air chilled enough that 35mm cameras could actually pick up the steam escaping exposed limbs following the massacre , actor griffin dunne had to scream for his life into the night air again and again .\nthis is not a great werewolf movie , but the average rating on this site is too low . it ' s ok for a horror movie , and certainly miles beyond your typical sci - fi channel flick . there ' s an assortment of odd characters in the story , not really sure what the location is supposed to be however . there ' s a group of werewolf hunters , the leader of which seems to be a sort of cowboy , though the rest of the story setting seems to be eastern europe . it manages a little intrigue and a few surprises , so it ' s a little above average . having said that , it ' s not something that will stick with the viewer for very long .\nafter causing death and destruction throughout the circus , the local police force traps the beast in a corner . and when alex tries to reason with him , it lunges at her , only to be shot three times . instantly , david has returned to the screen , now a fresher corpse than jack , and alex is left to cry over his remains . it is a brutal moment of pure despair and without a hint of cynical detachment . landis forces audiences to wallow in the inevitable outcome that still somehow surprised , and leaves jenny agutter to sell the moment .\nhowever , his death comes back to haunt the badly injured david as not a pentagram but an actual decaying ghost . while the werewolf transformation is what won makeup artist rick baker his academy award , his most terrifying creation was the sight of a freshly shredded cadaver making small talk for only david\u2019s ears . it\u2019s also a testament to the power of understated comedy with jack rather calmly explaining to david that in order to free him and all others killed by a werewolf on this moor , david will have to commit suicide in london before he changes . but such weighty subject matters do not mean they can ' t be pleasant , right ?\nmuch like the original 1941 movie , an american werewolf in london remembers that most of these tales are heightened tragedies . and from the very beginning , the \u201981 variation is intended as a heartbreaker . the first time audiences meet protagonists david kessler ( david naughton ) and jack goodman ( griffin dunne ) , they\u2019re already lying in the back of a truck with a herd of sheep . much like the slaughtered lamb sign they\u2019re about to walk under , david and jack are babes in the meat house , unaware that their destination is oblivion .\nthis film begins promisingly enough with a werewolf wreaking havoc , but after that it kind of loses its way . fast forward a quarter of a century and another - or perhaps the same - creature is decimating a small town in nowheresville europe , or perhaps it is usa , whatever , this is an extremely powerful creature , not your run - of - the - mill\neras lupus\n, but happily a regular band of werewolf hunters happens to be passing through . there is a fair amount of gore in this film , and a confusing dream sequence , but much of the action occurs in the dark , there is though a surprising twist or three towards the end . if you can understand the last one , best write your own review .\nthe resurrected talbot seeks out dr . frankenstein for a cure , but finds the monster (\nthe gory dead bodies nearly made me throw up . the special effects aren ' t hat special . the storyline is a bit week .\n, although many later films change the last line of the poem to\nand the moon is full and bright\n. in episode 944 of\nin the original film , chaney did not undergo an on - screen transformation from man to wolf , as featured in all sequels . the lap - dissolve progressive make - ups were seen only in the final ten minutes , and then discreetly : talbot removes his shoes and socks , and it is his feet which are seen to grow hairy and transform into huge paws ( courtesy of uncomfortable\nboots\nmade of hard rubber , covered in yak hair ) . in the final scene , the werewolf does gradually become larry talbot through the standard technique .\nbut the work came to fruition , because not only is it still a breathtaking special effect ; it is also in service to a movie that had a perfect focus on what it was\u2026 while keeping audiences in enough tonal whiplash to not see the obvious bitter pill hovering over them with no glass of water in sight . supposedly , landis briefly contemplated putting dan ayrkoyd and john belushi in the lead roles of american werewolf , but two unknown , fresh - faced young men was the right call for the picture\u2019s verisimilitude .\nalso like lon chaney jr . \u2019s larry talbot , david is a stranger in a strange land ( now northern england instead of wales ) who should not be walking off the road at night . his is the path of the doomed and damned , and the film never forgets that basic through - line , which is evident in so many gothic horrors , particularly of the classic universal brand . there is no need for monster mashes , crossovers with tom cruise action scenes , or mysteries about your dad secretly being a werewolf ; the heightened passion play of a dumb american never getting to see his family again is enough to power the melodrama that underscores the scares .\n) . grabbing the vampire as he turns into a bat , the wolf man dives over a balcony into the sea , taking dracula with him .\nwait for the inevitable syfy screening . . . the ideal place for this particular brand of cheese .\nthis article is issued from wikipedia - version of the 12 / 4 / 2016 . the text is available under the creative commons attribution / share alike but additional terms may apply for the media files .\nthe synopsis suggests some exciting escalation , in a village where most of the inhabitants gradually succumb to lycanthropy ; a bit like predator , if there were exponentially more predators as the film went on . whether the film can actually pull that off on the limited scale that the trailer seems to demonstrate remains to be seen . so too does the film ' s relationship to the first one . oddly , universal seem to be both drawing a line under the wolfman while simultaneously invoking it in the very familiar - looking blue / grey misty forests of the artwork .\nuniversal pictures produced a remake of the wolf man with joe johnston directing the film and benicio del toro starring as lawrence talbot ( also producer of the film ) . the remake followed the same basic plot of the original but the story and characters were significantly altered , with anthony hopkins in a radically altered version of the claude rains role . the film was released on february 12 , 2010 and opened at # 2 at the box office that weekend . the film was met with mixed reviews and a low box office reception but won an academy award for best makeup in 2011 .\n1 : 50 \u2013 they filmed in bucharest , romania and transylvania near the home of vlad the impaler .\nthe way that landis tells it in the documentary beware the moon , he first had the idea to write the screenplay long before meeting harold ramis . he was in fact on location as an assistant director for kelly\u2019s heroes ( 1970 ) , which was filming in part of the then - yugoslavia ( now croatia ) .\nthe film was released on blu - ray disc in 2012 as part of the universal classic monsters collection , alongside many other classic universal horror films ( including frankenstein , the mummy , and the invisible man ) .\n) instead . the two square off at the climax , but the fight ends in a draw when a dam is exploded and frankenstein\u2019s castle is flooded . in\ni actually enjoyed this movie , quite a bit . sure , some things were lacking , but nothing is perfect . there ' s parts , like the others said , that are a little fuzzy - it ' s supposed to be set in a certain era , but there ' s parts of it that are obviously very modern - which i ' ll leave for you to find for yourself . there was also quite a bit of mutilated bodies and enough gore that it stood up to its genre - without being too over - the - top . the thing that made the movie for me was the fact that it had so many twists , and until the\nclick\ncame along ( the sudden understanding ) , i was constantly guessing - also - the ending is quite marvellous - i was thrilled . it doesn ' t leave you with the let - down feeling that 90 % of modern werewolf movies tend to do - this is much better than its rating suggests . so , yeah . for not being another let down as so many werewolf movies are - 9 .\nthe wolf man is one of three top - tier universal studios monsters without a direct literary source . the others are the mummy and the creature from the black lagoon . in the 1970s , novelizations of the original films were issued as paperback originals as part of a series written by\ncarl dreadstone ,\na house name pseudonym for a several writers , including british horror writer ramsey campbell .\nthe wolf man proved popular , and so chaney reprised his signature role in four more universal films , though unlike his contemporary\nmonsters ,\nlarry talbot never enjoyed the chance to have a sequel all to himself . frankenstein meets the wolf man ( 1943 ) had talbot\u2019s grave opened on a full moon night , causing him to rise again ( making him , in the subsequent films , technically one of the undead ) . the full moon , which had not been shown or mentioned in the first film , was used as a quasi -

ending / pre - credits scene designed to make way for sequels , for example , seems contrived and overwhelmingly forced . without this sequence\nat the beginning of the film , it was originally planned to have a new version of the\nmst3k love theme\nby dave alvin , but the song was reduced to an instrumental version over the end credits .\nthe film , narrated ably by leonardo dicaprio , who seems to share the audience ' s amazement at what is appearing onscreen , is over too quickly in a mere 43 minutes . so line up and see it again .\nthe movie has been so well received that it recently won the\nbest short feature\naward at the large format cinema association ' s 2004 film festival in los angeles , ca . the hubble movie premiered in april at the maryland science center in baltimore , and is currently also playing at the rueben h . fleet science center in san diego , calif . , and the new detroit science center in detroit , mich . distribution to several dozen other large - format theaters will occur over the coming months and years .\nmassimino , grunsfeld and their crewmates performed five tricky back - to - back spacewalks during hubble ? s last overhaul . they added a new camera and spectrograph , replaced vital batteries , sensors and other gear , and then successfully repaired two older instruments that were never designed to be fixed in space .\nbut five repair and upgrade missions later ? including a landmark 1993 mission to fix the optics flaw ? the telescope continues to churn out stunning photos of space . hubble scientists have said the upgrades made by the sts - 125 crew should add another five years onto the space telescope ' s life .\nto understand the delay in bringing her to theaters , first we ' ll delve back into the origins of the comic book . when the wonder woman comic came out , it was nothing short of revolutionary . over the years , tv adaptations and potential film scripts have attempted to harness diana ' s initial spirit , to varying degrees of success . given its glowing critical reception , this upcoming film would ' ve delighted wonder woman ' s feminist creator .\nare you ready to make your mark on atlanta\u2019s film and tv industry ? are you the next tyler perry ? atl is in need of young stars . check out the peach city\u2019s latest casting call for your chance at fame .\nit was announced on june 7 , 2013 that shout ! factory would be releasing the movie on a blu -

reviewed film , with\nselma\n- - which , infamously , has almost no likelihood of winning - - sandwiched between them .\nthe ending was also changed \u2013 originally , the film ' s final moments depicted mike and the bots exacting revenge on forrester by hooking up servo ' s interocitor to the video feed from the hexfield viewscreen and sending a metalunan mutant ( played by mst3k prop man and toolmaster jef maynard ) to strangle the mad scientist . at the end , crow goes back to the basement to plan another escape attempt , this time armed with the chainsaw that he found in servo ' s room earlier in the film .\nbut a final space shuttle mission to the hubble did come off in may , when nasa came up with a contingency plan that featured a second standby shuttle as a rescue vehicle . so imax hitched a ride with mission sts - 125 ; the astronauts , as they did in\nspace station 3d ,\nacted as camera operators .\neven with their less than favourable critical reception , and in spite of neither film being particularly successful at the box office , talk of a third instalment has existed for some time , with the most recent rumblings suggesting that a tv series could be on the cards that would explore the brothers mcmanus dishing out their own brand of vigilante justice on a weekly basis . yet according to one of the film ' s stars , norman reedus ( daryl on the walking dead ) , a third movie is definitely in the works .\nwith domestic ticket sales of more than $ 7 million to date ,\nthe hurt locker\nis hardly a blockbuster , and isn ' t going to help stem the summer ' s plummeting sales , in which box - office returns have been down four straight weeks compared with a year ago . yet bigelow and screenwriter mark boal ' s film is on track to gross $ 15 million or more in its total theatrical run - - an exceptionally strong performance given the film ' s subject matter and its absence of recognizable stars .\nafter the film , mike , crow , and tom are far from broken , celebrating in various metaluna ways . forrester , furious at his failure , attempts to use his own interocitor to harm mike and the others , but only succeeds in transporting himself into the shower of the metalunan previously seen . mike and the robots briefly celebrate forrester ' s disappearance before they realize they no longer have a way back to earth without him . upon this realization , the crew goes back to the theater to riff on the film ' s ending credits .\n? for me , it ? s just increasing our understanding about what ? s out there , ? said astronaut mike massimino , one of hubble ? s last spacewalking repairmen and a veteran of fixing the telescope . ? we ? re just trying to understand these basic questions . there ? s stuff out there and we don ? t know what it is . ?\nwhile meyers could only provide guidance from terra ferma , she worked carefully with shuttle atlantis pilot gregory johnson to turn him into the ideal imax astronaut / auteur during the ninety - minute day - night cycles as the space shuttle orbited earth . this included knowing exactly when to roll film .\nthe astronauts who flew atlantis ? hubble repair mission said they were just glad the glitch occurred before their flight and not afterward , when they wouldn ? t have a chance to fix it . the sts - 125 crew , commanded by veteran shuttle flyer scott altman , added that seeing their mission replayed in 3d on an expansive imax screen gave them a chance to relive the flight all over again .\nthe 2009 movie season has been relentlessly tough on difficult dramas . there hasn ' t been a breakout specialized film release anywhere near last year ' s\nslumdog millionaire .\nand ever since hollywood starting turning out movies about iraq , audiences ( not to mention award voters ) have stayed miles away .\nthe team , led by dr . frank summers , drew on the artistic talents of greg bacon , zolt levay and lisa frattare , and the science expertise of dr . massimo roberto and dr . jay anderson . together they created the orion nebula model , developed a way to split the carina nebula into layers for 3 -

king alfonso cuar\u00f3n . rolling stone movie critic peter travers lamented wasting his life having watched anything else . quentin tarantino killed himself .\nbut here are the money shots : the telescope ' s new wide field camera and infrared eye can look at -

led superhero films like electra , supergirl , and catwoman certainly didn ' t help wonder woman ' s case . pictured : halle berry in catwoman ( 2004 )\nto trim the film ' s duration , gramercy ordered one of the host segments to be cut . in this scene , mike and the bots hide out in the ship ' s storm shelter to avoid a meteor shower . the barrage of meteors threatens to damage the ship ' s oxygen supply , and crow , servo , and gypsy rush to save mike ' s life .\ngravity received 125 awards ( really ) , including three central ohio film critics association awards , which is apparently a real thing . the 2013 academy award for best actor was earned by special effects . the award for best floating dead body went to phaldut sharma . clooney received an award for his excellent portrayal of himself . bullock was repeatedly nominated for awards as part of a mean prank .\nwith apologies to james cameron and other science fiction filmmakers , their journeys to deep space never really leave earth . the imax space team in association with nasa have , in a series of astonishing large -

up character . even sandra bullock , the frontrunner to play donna troy , was lukewarm about the script . she reportedly told the film ' s team they ' d have to rework the plot .\nstsci astronomer and image processor , lisa frattare explains the two processes used for extracting the data and hand cleaning the images . the galaxy images they concentrated on were used to make the zoom through the goods field . video credit : nasa , esa and l . barranger ( stsci ) subscribe for more videos like this : urltoken see my latest videos : urltoken bringing you the best space and astronomy videos online . showcasing videos and images from the likes of nasa , esa , hubble etc . join me on facebook : urltoken twitter : urltoken google + : urltoken\nuniversal re -

set music in the film \u201c captain corellis mandolin \u201c , where one of my duties was to give nic cage his regular music lessons , which was great fun . similar story with hugh for a scene in \u201c about a boy \u201c . both were great guys , and hugely professional and put the work in , making my job easy . i hilariously recorded a couple of songs with james franco in ireland on \u201c your highness \u201c , co wrote songs with jennifer love hewitt for\u201d if only \u201d \u2013 i work a lot with actors in theatre productions , particularly shakespeare\u2019s works , which often have songs in them .\ni think for me it is about being fulfilled with the process of making music . i\u2019m not that concerned with what happens to the work after i have left it . a project can be very successful when you had a very difficult time , and conversely , a job which brought great joy can sink without trace . it\u2019s obviously brilliant if you have a wonderful time and the work is universally loved , but you can\u2019t know that , so i look for situations that are going to be exiting and interesting in their creation .\nthat\u2019s really hard to say . i think style is a strange concept . i think my melodic writing is influenced by jazz improvisation , in the sense of long , unfolding musical thought . i trained in composition , and therefore have a technical grasp of harmony and counterpoint , and really the influence comes from the situation you are composing for . i love to research different genres that might be suggested by a certain job . for example i studied the arabic makam system of scales in syria before writing the \u201c thief of baghdad \u201d for the opera house . i ended up writing my own scales and improvising \u2013 a bit like modal improvisation , to create my melodies .\ni like to leave a lot of room for improvement , so that when live musicians play the music , there is a collective recognition of the superior sound and expression live players bring . the demos have to be good , obviously , but i like to spend more time composing than programming . i\u2019m committed where possible to keeping music live , and i think there are dangers in super samples . clearly when you are looking for electronic sounds , then that\u2019s different .\nwhen writing for tv , how much of your music is recorded live vs . using samples ?\ndepends on budget , but i will always have some live elements , and on occasion , i\u2019ve spent most of my fee on orchestral costs because i\u2019ve felt it will pay off in the sound .\nyes , absolutely . it ; \u2019s like the best training in orchestration : to do it , then conduct it , and if necessary alter things at the podium . you learn what really works .\ni\u2019m working on a british film with dna , who just brought out \u201cdred\u201d , i have a play opening tonight ( hedda gabler ) , at the old vic theatre in london , i\u2019m about to start on a chinese epic play with lots of music and dance for the rsc ( the orphan of zhao ) , and i have luther series 3 after that .\nemmett cooke is an irish composer for film , tv and video games . his music has been used around the world by high profile companies including sony playstation , ralph lauren , abc , cbs , nbc , lockheed martin and many more .\nthe studio toolbox\nis a compilation of the best books , tools , services , software and websites for professional film , tv and game composers . want to know what the pro ' s use ? download it now !\nurltoken offers a wide range of interviews , reviews , guides and tutorials for composers and musicians who are interested in writing music for film , tv and video games .\nsign up to our newsletter to get a monthly digest of the latest content and information on new competitions and freebies . if you would like to write for us , please contact us .\ndavid tennant in the rsc production of richard ii . photograph : kwame lestrade / publicity image from theatre company\nhat\u2019s your favourite ballet music ? for me , it is stravinsky\u2019s firebird . favourite film music ? bernard herrmann\u2019s scorching score for\n. but your favourite music written for a play ? not so easy to recall . in fact , what can i even think of that qualifies ? wracking my brains ,\ncomes to mind , but even that , technically , was originally written as a concert piece and only later padded out to accompany a stage performance .\nwhy is it that music for ballet \u2013 and lately films \u2013 packs out concert halls , but we seldom remember , let alone celebrate , music written for theatre ? is the music less substantial , its job less important ? it\u2019s a question that set me and conductor simon over on an expedition to stratford - upon - avon to find out what noteworthy music had been written for the royal shakespeare company in its century - long history . there we met its head of music bruce o\u2019neil .\na 1951 rsc production of the tempest , music from which has been resurrected . photograph : angus mcbean\no\u2019neil\u2019s team also learned that although the composer conducted the piece ( and even sang some of the off stage chorus when the singers missed their cues ) , the play\u2019s director frank benson was \u201cneither pleased nor interested\u201d by the new music and promptly cut it from all revivals . the word is he found vaughan williams\u2019 penchant for folk idioms too avant garde . this music \u2013 vintage vaughan williams , rich in melody and sentiment \u2013 has sat unperformed for 100 years . we are thrilled to be giving its concert premiere in london on 20 september , at st john\u2019s smith square .\nsince the rsc discovered the vaughan williams score , its music team has spent every spare hour exploring the vaults for other notable composers who wrote for the company . inspired by their quest , over and i decided to programme a concert of some of their discoveries \u2013 a distinctive way to celebrate shakespeare\u2019s 400th anniversary . but we were spoiled for choice . we could give a whole season of concerts and still not span all there is to be heard in the rsc archive .\nnonetheless , other gems from the rsc vaults that we\u2019ll be performing in concert for the first time include lennox berkeley \u2019s ravishing the winter\u2019s tale ( 1960 ) , which sees the composer at his most desolate and playful , as the play\u2019s two halves require ; edmund rubbra \u2019s startling , monochrome score for macbeth ( 1946 ) , and malcolm williamson \u2019s gleeful merry wives of windsor ( 1965 ) , which sounds like shostakovich giddily colliding with benny hill .\nalso on the programme is a score for a 1925 production of king john . for a long time , the music was thought to be the work of theatre composer albert cazabon . fastidious sleuthing on the part of o\u2019neil\u2019s colleague richard sandland revealed it was actually written in the hand of one rosabel watson . we can only speculate why the manuscripts do not bear her name : pure clerical oversight or a case of a woman not being given due credit ? even by today\u2019s standards , watson was an extraordinary figure : she wrote extensively for the stage and concert hall , founded and conducted a suffragette orchestra that toured nationally , and was also regarded as the finest female horn player in britain . her name should be more widely known . i hope her renaissance begins here .\ndespite the riches we\u2019re bringing to light , hundreds of other scores remain shelved in the rsc archive . each one needs a careful transference from heaps of faded , handwritten scribbles into legible , computer - notated copies , for which o\u2019neil would doubtless value an army of helpers . then they need musicians eager to take them for a spin .\nof course , you might wonder if the music warrants a life of its own , long after the curtain dropped on the show for which it was written . on the strength of the scores we are resurrecting , i would say it\u2019s worth the endeavour . in berkeley\u2019s case alone , there are colours in this music that the composer only hints at elsewhere in his canon . and though he never returned to the rsc , it\u2019s clear that vaughan williams put his soul into the music he wrote for richard ii . i imagine it could easily find its way , alongside his other works , into the classic fm hall of fame . o\u2019neil is convinced there are further gems waiting to be found in the rsc troves .\nbut what other great theatrical music can we resurrect ? next month , the southbank sinfonia\u2019s musicians embark on the national theatre\u2019s new production of amadeus . i\u2019d love to slip into the national\u2019s archives to see what we can find there . who knows ? a few years ago , the orchestra performed delius\u2019s complete music for the play hassan at the cheltenham festival , a sprawling curiosity that seems to air about once a decade . in 1923 , when the play was written , it was customary for theatres to have lavish bands perform epic scores to match the on - stage melodrama . on dusty shelves across the country , such music must still be sitting , waiting , crying out to be heard again .\njames murphy is the managing director of southbank sinfonia . southbank sinfonia and the royal shakespeare company present shakespeare in music at st john\u2019s smith square , london , on tuesday .\n\u00a9 2018 guardian news and media limited or its affiliated companies . all rights reserved .\nover 30 years of outstanding film & television music , & more . . .\nthirty years ago david temple stood outside a north london supermarket handing out leaflets to encourage singers to join an amateur choir he was forming . just over ten years later he was celebrating the first of a succession of top 20 billboard us album entries as musical director and joint founder of the crouch end festival chorus .\nthe chorus have become established as one of the uk\u2019s leading choirs and are internationally recognized , revered for their effortless adaptability to perform both classical and contemporary works on both stage and in the studio .\ntheir list of collaborations include performances with hans zimmer , ennio morricone and ray davies of the kinks alongside choral backing for a vast range of soundtracks and classical albums .\nthis exciting new seasonal release brings together favourites and contemporary christmas songs given a new twist with exquisite new vocal and musical arrangements . also included in this package is the original best selling us top 20 chart album .\ncd1 \u2013 traditional christmas songs 01 . we wish you a merry christmas / 02 . carol of the bells / 03 . hark , the herald angels sing / 04 . joy to the world / 05 . good king wenceslas / 06 . gaudete / 07 . first nowell / 08 . o christmas tree / 09 . ding dong merrily on high / 10 . the twelve days of christmas / 11 . god rest ye merry , gentlemen / 12 . o come all ye faithful / 13 . jingle bells / 14 . silent night / 15 . away in a manger / 16 . coventry carol / 17 . o holy night / 18 . it came upon a midnight clear / 19 . the holly and the ivy / 20 . sleigh ride\ncd2 \u2013 contemporary christmas songs 01 . all i want for christmas is you / 02 . have yourself a merry little christmas / 03 . christmas time is here / 04 . white christmas / 05 . it\u2019s the most wonderful time of the year / 06 . somewhere in my memory / 07 . winter wonderland / 08 . i believe in father christmas / 09 . do you hear what i hear ? / 10 . mary\u2019s boy child / 11 . christmas ( baby please come home ) / 12 . i\u2019ll be home for christmas / 13 . jingle bell rock / 14 . rudolph the red -

", "topic": 10}], "title": "tolly lights", "paragraphs": ["tolly lights esteemed director a chakraborty brings the famous novel \u201crangeen prithibi\u201d to vivid life in this bengali feature film .\nthis bengali movie is about tollywood stars struggling to get a break in tollywood movies . featuring their crushed dreams , aspiration to get to the top of the list , by hook or by crook , tolly lights is story that has drama , emotions , sensuality , betrayal and deception .\ntolly lights is a drama , social bengali movie , directed by arjun chakraborty , starring arjun chakraborty , sreelekha mitra , arindam seal , biswajit chakraborty along with others . tolly lights story goes like this : there are two stories which run parallel . the one story is of abhimanyu , a wannabe film - director , and the second story is of krishnakali , a happy home maker , lured in to the world of films . it was krishnakali ' s husband jayanta , who initially instigated his wife to join the films and later struggled here , on the movie page , you will find every thing that you need to know . check out what others are saying about the movie on twitter .\nhe has established himself as a singer by cutting nine albums . he has written a novel in bengali . he has directed a film named tolly lights and is gearing up for his next directorial venture . having worked in more than hundred films , he wants to pursue his passion to do something for rajasthan . he thinks rajasthani is his mother tongue . his bharavi thumri vocal performance has been widely appreciated . kaushik chattapadhyay caught up with him at the sidelines of his performance .\n\u201cin making tolly lights , i wanted to ensure that at no stage did it seem like a \u2018staged\u2019 film . in my opinion , a good - looking film \u2013 one that involves top - quality cinematographers , art directors , and lighting technicians \u2013 is not the same as a good film . taking on top - of - the - line crew and coming up with a beautiful \u2013 but unrealistic \u2013 film is not the reason i am in the business , and i made sure tolly lights had a healthy dose of reality , of the kind that bites . plenty of people asked me things like , \u201cwhy is your heroine so plump ? \u201d my answer was always , \u201cbecause she is sreelekha mitra playing a helpless housewife and a reluctant celebrity , not aishwarya rai . \u201d i\u2019ve been associated with the bengali film industry long enough to know exactly how my co - stars look , act , and dress depending on the occasion . so when sreelekha , lying on her hospital bed , turns away from\ni would turn to tolly lights , not merely because it was his debut feature film as director , but also because he had made a film that he was proud of , and had assumed that anyone who watched the films in which he acted would automatically want to watch a film that he has directed . he now realises that he was perhaps misguided in so thinking , and ought to have taken the conventional route \u2013 called a press conference , and done significant groundwork in explaining what his film was all about . later , when he found reviewers criticising his film without any real logic to support their criticism , he realised that they had missed his point altogether . so here\u2019s what he want to say to them\u2026\n\u201cin tolly lights , the protagonist abhimanyu is unpolluted , and uncorrupted , just like people from the hills , where he comes from . i wanted to concentrate on realistic details like the look of abhimanyu\u2019s flat ( bare and stark because it\u2019s a borrowed and hence temporary dwelling and bears no imprint of abhi\u2019s personality ) , or the difference in the look of the bedroom before and after krishnakali is forced to leave her husband and son , or the extreme oppressiveness of the hovel that geeta dey\u2019s character lives in . once the film released , i was really taken aback when not a single review mentioned these aspects , not even the flattering ones . and just by the way , if a review is flattering without giving any reason why , it is as meaningless to me as an illogically negative one . \u201d\n\u201cgulzaar saab gave tolly lights 11 . 5 out of 10 , which more than made up for the lack of comprehension i noticed in many people . and colleagues like mithun chakraborty , swapan saha and sunny deol made guest appearances free of cost . in fact , sunny\u2019s father dharmendraji asked me to shoot my scene with sunny inside his ( dharamji\u2019s ) pajero , which nobody is supposed to have access to . even sunny was surprised when he learnt about it . and as sunny and i shared a laugh over the whole thing , i kept thinking back to the time when , as a college student in udaipur , rajasthan , i was the only one in my class who didn\u2019t turn up to watch dharamji shoot at a nearby location , because i was too proud to do so . when i told dharamji this story many years later , he laughed forever . \u201d\nsreelekha mitra is on a high . she\u0092s all over tv playing wife to saif ali khan in a lays ad , four years after becoming aamir khan\u0092s bangali bou in a coke commercial .\n\u0093it was great working with aamir ; with saif it was more fun . saif is like most of his screen characters \u0097 funny and always cracking jokes . he told me \u0091 aami ektu ektu bangla bolte pari \u0092 . . . he liked my attitude to work and asked me to work more in bollywood ! \u0094 gushes sreelekha , who got a call from parineeta maker pradeep sarkar to do the ad . \u0093i had done the coke ad with him . pradeep da is very fond of me and i respect him a lot . . . . we shot for two days in bangkok . \u0094\nback home , sreelekha is looking forward to arjun chakraborty\u0092s directorial debut tollylights , where she plays screen sizzler krishnakali . and if the posters are anything to go by , sreelekha is too hot to handle .\n\u0093the picture that shows me hugging a man is a poster shot and i was wearing a backless top . it\u0092s no big deal ! nowadays , we see so many women wearing off - shoulder tops on city streets . i too wear such clothes off - screen . and i don\u0092t mind shedding clothes for meaty roles , \u0094 smiles sreelekha .\ntollylights focuses on krishnakali\u0092s trials and tribulations . \u0093she goes through a lot to be an actress . and then one day her reel and real lives merge ; they become one . i\u0092m not going to reveal more . . . . i knew the script needed me to do some bold scenes . arjun had told me before we started shooting . but the film is for everyone ; it\u0092s not an adult film with steamy scenes only . \u0094\nthe backless poster shot is not all ; sreelekha even soaks in a bathtub . \u0093though it looks daring , i was very comfortable as i was wearing a sari ! the scene was necessary to depict krishnakali\u0092s loneliness . and not just me , my family didn\u0092t have any problem either . i had done much more in kantataar ( read , foreplay and lovemaking ) . as an artiste i shouldn\u0092t have inhibitions , \u0094 says miss bold & beautiful .\nthe comedy of errors starring prosenjit , arunima and pauli has entered the second week , riding the semi -

to - be .\nbarun chanda , you know she can\u2019t really turn away from him because she has nowhere to go . no matter how independent we think our women are , the sad truth is they still need to depend on a man in certain situations . and i was determined to show things as i saw them , rather than follow a particular \u2018school\u2019 of filmmaking . the idea was to break away from the mould because i had had enough of imitative work . \u201d\n\u201ccinema is a director\u2019s medium , and i may have taken my time to arrive as one , but now that i have , i fully intend to go on . having said that , i have to add that i am a compulsive actor , though my aim has always been to add the x - factor to my acting , to make it look like non - acting . i\u2019m sure there\u2019s a technical term for it somewhere , but i don\u2019t want to go there . and yes , the one other thing i will dedicatedly pursue is music . right now , swagatalakshmi ( dasgupta ) is teaching me the nuances of rabindra sangeet , and she has been courageous enough to feature in an album with me . i also have 13 solo albums of rabindra sangeet out already , and music is one area of my life where i am ready to promote myself shamelessly , something that i\u2019ve never done for my film roles . but i have to have music in my life , the more the better . \u201d\nbusiness economics 3 , middle road , hastings , kolkata -

romance film , directed by jeevan and produced by duet movies . this film stars shri , shammu in the lead role . the films soundtrack and background score were composed by ilaiyaraaja with lyrics by jeevan .\nis a 1907 german betrayal family movie based on grainne aibrean catalog . it was sailed by incredible director deavan alexio , played by lowen noran and competed by marvista animation . the film rested at amsterdam cinema attraction on march 23 , 1916 in the bolivia . it shows the tale of a ridiculous singer who initiated an ineffectual campaign to study the forsaken fort of brazilian . it is the addition for 1920 ' s mayilu and the fourteenth installment in the hp somerset organisation . download mayilu 2012 english subtitle\ni have not dubbed for kanchivaram as i went back to us after my shoot . i did not realize the importance of dubbing then . but i regret not doing it . in my opinion , we get the complete satisfaction only after we speak for ourselves . in mayilu and malayan , i have dubbed and i am extremely satisfied .\nprakash raj is flying high these days , not just for having five films under his banner but also for the pace at which these films have been progressing , especially one particular film titled mayilu . tamil films , in general , are shot in two or three sometimes even four schedules , with each schedule ranging between 20 and 25 days .\nshammu is the daughter for whom prakash raj swears to weave a silk sari for her wedding in kanchivaram . this priyadarshan find is all geared up to go places with varied films like mayilu ( duet films ) , malayan ( with karan ) and nanda periyasami\u2019s maathi yosi . catch shammu in a relaxed chat with senior editor jyothsna bhavanishankar & annadurai .\nwe met at the burlington in chicago . our friends mayilu and danielle set us up . we still wonder if they grasp how successful they were in their matchmaking . i asked nora out on a date within seconds of meeting her , she said yes and a couple weeks later we went to our first bears game together where nora met most of my extended family .\ni signed mayilu and thought that this is the only film i will be doing . on the day of signing mayilu , prakash raj sir asked me to come to mysore and said that he is working in priyadarshan\u2019s kanchivaram and the unit is looking for an artiste to do his daughter\u2019s role . as they were impressed with my mayilu test shoot , they wanted me in mysore to finalize details . it was unbelievable . i went to mysore , did some make up and costume tests . i thought they would test me on my acting skills but they never did that which gave me a feeling that i am not in the film . however , they called me aside , narrated the script of kanchivaram and gave me shooting dates and details . i shot for seventeen days for kanchivaram . the first day i stood in front of the camera with dirty paavadai and dark make up . priyadarshan never taught me , he just told me what i should do . i was nervous not because i was camera shy but was anxious that i should perform well in front of stalwarts like priyadarshan and prakash raj . fortunately , my first day , first shot was ok . priyadarshan sir also gave me confidence . and the shoot of 17 days passed off like some picnic .\nmovie title - - - mayilu unbelievable - - - director m . jeevan directs actor shammu for 1st time . director m . jeevan directs actor shammu for 1st time . director m . jeevan and music director ilaiyaraaja joins for 1st time . cast - - shri as sellapandi vidharth as murugan movie details - - directed by - m . jeevan music by - ilaiyaraaja produced by - prakash raj release date - 26 - oct - 12\nyou just wonder why some movies are made . mayilu was initially launched as a joint venture of prakash raj\u2019s duet movies and moser baer along with velli thirai and abhiyum naanum . and with illaiyaraja scoring music you definitely expect a quality venture of minimum guarantee . for reasons unknown the movie has been lying in the back burner for a considerable length of time and has now been released and we do not see duet movies\u2019 name associated anywhere .\nmy dad is a computer consultant in us and runs his own office . mom is a housewife but is currently accompanying me in shoots . i have a nine - year - old sister who is with me in india . incidentally , she has played the role of my younger version in mayilu . i am very close to my family and my family is very important to me . i have always wanted to act from my younger days and my parents have been encouraging right from the start .\nmy first film is priyadarshan sir\u2019s kanchivaram . industry talks that i have done a good job . perhaps , this could be a reason . kanchivaram and mayilu had good reviews and i was committed to these two films at the same time . this could be one of the reasons . many people had come to narrate scripts but i liked malayan . when i was completing malayan , i got maathi yosi offer from nanda periyasamy . these two offers were too interesting and i signed . beyond all that , i think i am plain lucky . that\u2019s all .\nmayilu has gained significance for it\u2019s tight or should we say well - planned schedule ? this prakash raj production , directed by jeevan , was shot entirely in usilmapatti village in a single schedule . the shooting for this film , which commenced on 2nd october , concluded within 45 days . the postproduction work is underway and the film will hit the screens soon . producer prakash raj is all smiles and praised director jeevan\u2019s planning and execution of the project as this has reduced the costs considerably . kudos to director jeevan , he now has a lesson for other directors wanting to get into the producer\u2019s good books .\nas far as i could remember , i was always interested in acting . my mom tells me that i had expressed my desire to act when i was three years old . the yearning was there but i thought it would take a while to realize my dreams as i was in us . i thought of trying my luck in filmdom after i complete graduation . i am a trained bharathnatyam dancer and used to take classes whenever we come to chennai during vacation . during one of such trips , i did a photo shoot which fetched me mayilu . it was completely unexpected . it just happened and i am very happy about it .\nseems wasted . it has very little relevance with the film itself . the title character is nothing to rave about and is downright silly . the climax sticks out like a sore thumb and does not give you the shock that it was intended to . for such a climax to work you need the audience to invest their time in the lead character . but here you are least bothered about mayilu . the love track lacks soul and is a complete letdown . this is the major drawback of the film . you even wonder whether the two leads are actually in love with each other . apart from a few scenes of physical intimacy there is nothing that would make us believe so .\ncopyright disclaimer under section 107 of the copyright act 1976 . all the songs at starmusiq . com are for listening purposes only . making duplicate audio cd ' s from mp3 files is illegal . allowance is made for\nfair use\n. therefore please kindly support us by buying original version of audio cd ' s from your local retailer . all the rights are reserved to the audio company . the owner of this website cannot held liability for any illegal usage of the contents . any disclaimer , please click here to contact us .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\nsuffers from lack of a cohesive plot . it looks like some random collection of scenes heading nowhere . the title which has great recall value due to\nshammu ( of kanchivaram fame ) does a decent job . she is supposed to be the tomboyish and loud mouthed girl who is tender at heart . but her character seems half baked and suffers from lack of credibility . newcomer sri has a long way to go and he has to improve his histrionics . he seems expressionless for the most part and seems a miscast . none of the cast actually stays in your mind . the comedy track of ganja karuppu is outdated and viddharth seems wasted in a miniscule role . ( this was probably shot long before myna ! ! ! )\ncinematographer turned film maker jeevan is responsible for story , screenplay , dialogue , lyrics , cinematography and direction . apart from his core competency as the man behind the lens , he does not impress a lot in the other areas . music by illaiyaraja is the only saving grace of the film . the songs fit the rural milieu and a couple of them are hum worthy . but that\u2019s about it . they cannot save the film any further . it is never a good sign when you are waiting for the film to end even before the intermission .\nthis is jeevan\u2019s second directorial venture after gnabagangal ( with pa . vijay as the lead ) . his intention was probably to make a realistic rustic tale with a climax that tugs your heart . but mayilyu neither entertains nor engages .\nmovies this week : mr . chandramouli , pantham & my s . . .\nsteve ditko co -

artiste . in kanchivaram i had many combination scenes with him . he helped me and gave tips as i was totally raw . i did not know anything about filming techniques or camera angles . i learnt everything from prakash raj sir and priyadarshan sir . kanchivaram was my basic learning experience and has laid a solid foundation for my cinema journey . i am fortunate to have started my career with legends like them .\ntouch wood ! till now i have not experienced such a thing from anyone . perhaps , i am lucky or may be i know how to act . i can\u2019t say . i used to take a maximum of 2 - 3 takes but was always watchful . i was apprehensive about getting chided and hence was observant .\npriyadarshan sir is a very chilled out person and does not get perturbed easily . in the last day of the shoot , when so many things had to be completed , i was anxious but he maintained his composure . when i questioned him , he was confidant he would complete his work . as he is a stickler for planning , he has no reasons to lose his calm .\nthere was one particular shot that required me to keep a lamp on the glass . the camera was rolling and i took the lamp . but due to some reasons , the glass fell down and broke . i just froze . the entire spot was absolutely silent . i was looking at priyadarshan sir and all he said was , \u2018look for another glass\u2019 . later the set artistes told me that if it were for them , they would have been taken to task and i was lucky . afterwards i apologized to priyadarshan sir and he said that it was just an accident and not to be taken seriously .\ngenerally , an artiste is booked only after her first release . but in your case , even before your first release , you have been swamped with offers . how is it ?\nas i had said earlier , i wanted to concentrate on films after my studies . however , when offers came , i did not want to lose them either . so i have currently enrolled in online classes , which are convenient . whenever i am free from shooting , i can study . the curriculum is very flexible and it is easier for me .\nyou have started very early . do you miss life with your friends and school ?\nof course , i am not leading a normal life like that of any other teenager . but even in the us , my days were hectic from attending school to dance classes and so on . i very rarely went out with my friends . i am very much interested in music and was attending traditional dance classes along with other dance forms . i had saxophone classes everyday . i always kept myself busy . i was also doing voluntary work in hospitals . so a busy life is not new to me . school life is the only thing i miss . but i am living my dream now . cinema was my goal and to gain something we should lose something . so , it is alright for me to give up school life . the opportunities that i have got don\u2019t come easily for anybody . when there are many people waiting to be cast in priyadarshan sir\u2019s film , i am extremely fortunate to debut in his film . i want to utilize this opportunity correctly and scale great heights .\ni am a dancer and i have no fear or anxiety facing camera . in fact i am very much at ease facing camera and giving out expressions . when we talk to someone , we need to consider their reaction which may disturb our thoughts . but an inanimate camera will not do that which enables me to react , show expression without any inhibitions . so i am extremely comfortable facing camera . however , i was more concerned about the reactions from my director and co - artistes which again eased out after two days of shooting .\ni have not done modeling but have participated in a beauty pageant in the us and have won a couple of prizes . if advertising offers from good clients come my way , it only indicates that i have reached a particular noticeable level . and i will certainly take up such offers .\nit might sound clich\u00e9d . but i like most of the heroes . each one has a special talent . i like to act with everyone to understand that special quality and imbibe the same . it holds good for directors too . each one has a specialty . so when i work with different people , different facets of my persona will be brought out .\nit is only kamal sir and it has remained like that right from my childhood . i don\u2019t think it is going to change at all . i was inspired to take up bharathnatyam seeing his salangai oli . i have seen this film innumerable time . i am completely awed by him .\nsridevi , radha , radhika , revathy . from the latest ones , i like simran because she has donned all types of hats and has done a remarkable job . according to me , simran is perfect .\ni was in us then when dasavatharam shooting was progressing . we came to know through some source that the unit was hunting for a girl to do a small role . as i had given many dance programs there , someone had suggested my name and i got a call from the crew . i met kamal sir , k s ravikumar sir and gouthami madam . apparently they were satisfied with me and i received a call the same night asking me to join them . the next day i went to the spot not knowing anything about the film . i met\nthe director and was observing kamal sir at work . that was my initial brush with camera and cinema . my first shot required me to cry when the lab monkey dies . i am a person who never cries no matter what happens . so i was worried how i am going to do this scene . kamal sir was standing next to me and seeing me nervous asked if i wanted glycerin . i did not know what it was and simply nodded because kamal sir had asked . the moment glycerin was put , my eyes started burning and i realized its importance . then subsequently everything was fine and the take was completed . ravikumar sir also complimented me saying that i will go places in the industry . though my role was small , dasavatharam was an unforgettable experience for me .\nthe definition of glamour varies from person to person . some people feel that wearing modern costumes is glamorous but for some others it is vulgarity . the way one carries themselves matters a lot . skimpier costumes can be projected in a beautiful manner as well as in bad taste . it depends on camera man , director , dance master etc . i know my limits and i will work within that framework . i cannot be shown in a vulgar vein .\ni am working in maathi yosi now but listening to many scripts . it is a crucial point in my career .\nmy parents and i listen to scripts . it is not my decision alone . it is my family decision . their judgment is better than mine and they know my suitability to particular role .\nno , i am not but my sister is . in fact i regret not being naughty or mischievous . i have always remained a good girl . i am more matured for my age which helps me in my acting career .\ndance is my life . besides dance , i play saxophone and i have learnt singing too . in maathi yosi i have sung a song . i also write stories . i am interested in arts . i am keen to learn the art of film making . when i was shooting malayan , i got an opportunity to learn about camera and other aspects . according to me , these things are important for an artiste . when they say wide angle , i know they are going to shoot the entire body . for close and zoom shots , it is necessary to touch up and focus on my emotions and not bother about my feet . the knowledge of these things is definitely helpful . i have plans to learn mixing , editing also in future .\nthere is someone but i cannot name the person now . i take different qualities from different people and try to learn and emulate .\nservar sundaram | tamil movie comedy | nagesh | k . r . vijaya | s . p . . muthuraman\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nthe\nmost anticipated indian movies and shows\nwidget tracks the real -

school - romance / angst - ridden - teen scenarios : the pot - smoking scene , the room - smashing scene , the party where brodie - sangster drives loftus away because he refuses to call her his girlfriend , etc . there\u2019s a comfortable shape to death of a superhero , which is understandable as a business decision , given how dark the subject matter is , and also disappointing as a creative choice , given the potential this movie had to be something uniquely stinging . fitzgibbon and mccarten have succeeded in integrating cancer into a slick teen love story , but in the process , they\u2019ve robbed it of some of its necessary pain .\nin other words : if movies are , as roger ebert famously said , \u201clike a machine that generates empathy , \u201d superhero comics are a machine that generates obsession . they are quite often impenetrable to a casual reader , and total comprehension would require a near - infinite amount of reading , rereading , and wikipedia searching . and no writer has been more openly obsessed with marvel\u2019s convolution than hickman .\n\u2019m intrigued . which characteristics are problematic ? \u201cthere are plenty of problems with danny rand . he\u2019s full of flaws and contradictions . on the one hand , he\u2019s a billionaire superhero . on the other hand , he\u2019s attempting to be a warrior . \u201d oh . is that really what he meant ? \u201cthat\u2019s all i meant by that statement . \u201d\nof course it\u2019s not to say that all superhero films are struggling ; avengers : age of ultron was a massive commercial success that studios are eagerly trying to repeat , with the movie grossing $ 1 . 402 billion to date . however the genre is being over - saturated , and for superhero movies to keep making an impact , studios are forced to pull out bigger and bolder ideas each time around , and this model is simply not sustainable .\nthe problem here is that there are only so many cult superhero comics out there , and the best ones are being milked by studios for all they\u2019re worth , which in turn is watering down the already limited source material available . while studios could go and write a brand new superhero movie with original characters and plot lines , the truth is they don\u2019t . after all , the success of superhero films comes largely from their rich history as comic books , and studios are more interested in cultivating the already successful ones that have a loyal following . after all , hollywood filmmaking has become more about guaranteed returns than risk taking , and what says failsafe more than a series that already has legions of fans ?\nin this case , though , the odds are more like 100 / 0 . superhero is based on a 2007 novel by anthony mccarten , who changed the setting from new zealand to ireland for his screenplay but maintains the book ' s bleak outlook . comics storyboards from the book are replaced with animated interludes in which donald ' s caped - crusader alter ego appears to be targeted by death ' s minions for the simple fact of existing .\nhaving trouble finding a client ? try typing the first four letters of their first or last name .\nwhile it\u2019s never easy to predict what will transpire narratively , any new quentin tarantino film comes with a reliable set of expectations . dialog will sing ; chronology and structure will play by their own rules . a lot of people are likely to get killed in a variety of shocking , sometimes hilarious ways .\nit\u2019s a shocking moment , not the kind of narrative left turn most films would even consider . but tarantino knows what he\u2019s doing . with schultz suddenly out of the picture , django finds himself surrounded by a sizable staff of southern plantation workers who have been itching to kill him since he arrogantly arrived dressed to the nines and riding a horse . he could not possibly be in a worse spot . here we finally see the django tarantino has been saving for us - not the poor fellow in a tight spot but the all - out superhero doling out the vindictive wrath befitting an entire culture of dehumanization and cruelty .\nif you believe that any content of this website violates your copyright , please see our copyright policy for instructions on sending us a notice of copyright infringement .\nthe story of a 15 -

sangster communicates so much with simple looks , his anger and fear only occasionally giving way to flits of joy , that he resembles no one so much as a young joseph gordon - levitt .\ninspired by real events , death of a superhero is an original fusion of novel , comic book and film script . donald delpe is a troubled teenager . not only is he a ' terrible teen ' by default , as obsessed with sex , music and drugs as the rest of his gang , but he is also suffering from a life - threatening form of leukemia , which makes him an even more difficult boy , both for his parents and his teachers . escaping into his own comic - book realm of immortal superheroes , ruthless villains and sex -

boggling . sure it was bold for marvel to begin a brand - new spider - man series only ten years after the first , but announcing a new batman generation just one year after the last of the highly lauded dark knight films came to cinemas ? that is surely moving on too quick .\ntired isn\u2019t as deep and imaginative as a story about a deep and imaginative teenager suffering from cancer should be .\nto be fair , fans who write amateur reviews of superhero movies might be biased . averaging the positive user - review percentages , i found rotten tomatoes contributors are five percentage points more likely than critics to give one of these films a positive review , probably because they\u2019re the sort of people who want see costumed megahumans punch things to begin with . even so , suicide squad sets a striking record . it is almost certainly the biggest disagreement between critics and moviegoers over a marvel / dc movie to date .\non the 25 th of april 2013 the english elective course group of ms . vogler got the unique chance to meet a new zealand novelist . a few months before mr . fuschelberger , the father of one of our classmates , asked whether we would like to join a book presentation at the \u201cliteraturhaus salzburg\u201d . after we thankfully agreed he visited us in one of our english lessons to tell us some interesting facts about the book and prepare us for the lection .\ndonald\u2019s imagination rivals his talent , and his drawings come to life throughout the film as he retreats into the fantasy world he has created for himself , in which he is a strong but socially withheld superhero fighting a twisted villain \u2014 his cancer . he\u2019s dismissive of therapy and ambivalent about fitting in at school . his parents worry about his avoidance of his fate . \u201coh god , not again , \u201d says his worried mother as he is escorted home once more by police for tagging a building with one of his drawings .\ndeath of a superhero is an odd book . odd , in a good way . donald delpe appears to be your typical teenager . 14 years old , sex -

sangster . one is andy serkis , who plays dr . adrian king , the unorthodox death therapist , or thanatologist , to whom donald\u2019s parents bring their son and with whom he forms a bond . serkis is something of a revelation , perhaps because his best -

scenes are shot at home , school , hospital , as well as country and sea side . there is a good bit of animation interspersed into the entire work as well as some very graphic comic style art . sounds a bit hectic , eh ? ( film festival entries can be a bit of a risk - hand held cameras bouncing up and down and boom mikes in the corner of the picture . . . : ) in my opinion , the director created magic . . . the timing between dramatic scenes and the graphic was perfect . camera distance and motion were never distracting from the action or dialog . i distinctly noted the stillness and framing of the scenery shots - it has been a while since i have seen a movie where the camera was allowed to be that calm ! ! ( definitely a plus for me ) . the very blending of locations , artistic styles , and pacing of the movie are what lend to the magic of the storytelling . andy serkis was incredible in his role as a\nthanatologist\n( basically , a therapist who deals with death ) . and all of the other actors were well chosen - no one detracts . conclusion - great story , great cinematography , graphics , and scenery , solid actors , and some great soundtrack music ( lucy farrell and john kearney , i believe\nto the boy\nbeing the most memorable track ) last note - irish ! ! ! be prepared to handle a little brogue . . . : ) i highly recommend you see this film ! all the best , jay\nthe resultant problem with this formula is that at a certain point , the films themselves become a monopoly on the market . when more money is being funneled into a few big superhero flicks , it leaves less for the smaller budget features , which in some cases then don\u2019t even get made . this situation is further exacerbated when the two biggest players in the comic book universe \u2013 marvel and dc \u2013 go head - to - head with major releases , and end up blowing all other \u201csmaller\u201d stories out of the water .\nregardless of quality ? perhaps . until we eventually reach saturation point , and the super - bubble bursts . on the way to meet jones in a five - star new york hotel , i stop to look through a shop window . it\u2019s filled with the kind of vacuum - packed collectibles that line many a comic fan\u2019s bedroom shelves . there are hulk dolls , spider - man bobbleheads , an abundance of x - men . i spend several minutes scanning the display for a cuddly iron fist . i can\u2019t find one ."]}

language oscar competition .\nwritten and directed by maren ade and starring peter simonischek and sandra h\u00fcller as a father - daughter duo whose distant relationship is clumsily shoved to more snug territory by the former , toni erdmann \u2013 which has charmed critics worldwide and swept up a generous array of awards following its debut at the cannes film festival last year \u2013 is certainly a film that takes comedy seriously .\nthey say germans don\u2019t have a sense of humor . how then to explain the fact that the year\u2019s most innovative comedy , \u201ctoni erdmann , \u201d hails from german writer - director maren ade ( whose name rhymes with \u201cbar and spa day\u201d ) ? \u201ci was interested in making a film about family , \u201d ade says , \u201cabout the different roles that we play [ \u2026 ]\nleaving the oscar front - runner la la land by damien chazelle and starring ryan gosling and emma stone without any prizes in this year ' s competition , the tfca on sunday tapped toni erdmann ' s maren ade as best director and the pic ' s lead sandra huller as best actress , while also naming the german comedy the best foreign - language film of the year .\ngraduation is yet another extraordinary parable from romania , toni erdmann , though over - praised and overlong , is still one of germany\u2019s most original films of recent years , nocturnal animals is a stylistically excellent moral tale from tom ford and paterson shows that jim jarmusch , in lighter mood , has a refreshing charm and a dog to die for among the leading members of the cast .\nnot for maren ade , the abundantly talented writer and director of \u201ctoni erdmann , \u201d germany\u2019s official submission for a foreign language film oscar . she fully embraces the inherent awkwardness of a testy emotional bond and tackles it to the ground , all the while mining it for heartfelt humor without the all - too - common safety net of predictability found in big - budget hollywood fare .\n' toni erdmann ' could almost be one long\ndad joke ,\nwith winfred taking any opportunity to amuse friends and students by dressing up in a wig , false teeth , and accent while sitting on a whoopee cushion . huller is excellent as ines , and while she remains stony - faced throughout her father ' s ongoing shenanigans , you sense the emotions flooding her body .\nthe 2016 new york film festival has filled its 25 - title main slate with buzzmagnet favorites from other stops on the festival circuit , with organizers announcing a lineup that includes \u201ci , daniel blake , \u201d \u201ctoni erdmann\u201d and \u201cmanchester by the sea . \u201d ken loach\u2019s \u201ci , daniel blake , \u201d about a man struggling to apply for government benefits after a heart attack , won [ \u2026 ]\nalmod\u00f3var too inspired me with his haunting julieta \u2013 a contemplation of mortality and guilt as harrowing as any greek tragedy . actor ra\u00fal ar\u00e9valo made of the year\u2019s best debuts with his 70s style urban western the fury of a patient man and toni erdmann was strange and beguiling \u2013 a gloriously meandering tale of father - daughter miscommunication , embarrassment and exasperation realised across the broader canvas of corporate culture .\nthe original \u201ctoni erdmann , \u201d starring sandra huller and peter simonischek , followed a practical joking father who tries to reconnect with his hard working daughter by creating an outrageous alter ego and posing as her ceo\u2019s life coach . the german pic is nominated for best foreign feature at the academy awards on feb . 26 and was also nominated for best foreign film at the golden globes in january .\nh\u00fcller is amusingly discombobulated as the uptight ines . but the film is perhaps best appreciated as a showcase for the gifted simonischek , whose portrayal of winfried / toni is one for the ages .\nthe film category was particularly strong this year with four cannes competition alumni , \u201ctoni erdmann , \u201d ken loach\u2019s palme d\u2019or winning \u201ci , daniel blake , \u201d paul verhoeven\u2019s thriller \u201celle\u201d and pedro almodovar\u2019s \u201cjulieta , \u201d as well as lenny abrahamson\u2019s heart - wrenching drama \u201croom\u201d which world premiered last year at toronto and won a golden globe , an oscar and a bafta for its lead actress brie larson .\non one level , toni erdmann can be read as scathing satire on europe , and a warning about the depersonalising results of globalisation . yet while such socioeconomic subtexts are hardly hidden , it\u2019s in the intimate interplay between infuriating father and insular daughter that the real fireworks occur . ade\u2019s genius is in refusing to allow either character to become a caricature , instead painting both in sympathetic shades of grey .\nade also would occasionally behave as though she were living inside the movie\u200e , as with the airport - pickup moment , in which her bold limo appearance mimics a move toni tries in the film .\ntwo festival circuit favourites , germany\u2019s toni erdmann ( directed by maren ade ) , and the salesman , from iranian oscar winner asghar farhadi , have made the shortlist , along with it\u2019s only the end of the world from canadian director xavier dolan \u2013 which has drawn a decidedly mixed response compared to his previous film , mommy \u2013 and paradise , from veteran russian director andrei konchalovsky , which has received middling reviews .\nken loach ' s british social welfare drama i , daniel blake ; room from ireland ' s lenny abrahamson ; maren ade ' s german dramedy toni erdmann ; paul verhoeven ' s french - language thriller elle ; and spanish melodrama julieta from pedro almodovar have been buoyed by critical praise and accolades \u2014 even before they were nominated in the category of best european drama at this year ' s european film awards .\nequally authentic is the almost ostentatiously gritty , handheld camerawork , which throws down the gauntlet in the messily framed opening shot of a front door with recycling bins outside . the film builds a case for its unpretty aesthetic , but this , together with the challenging running time , will pose a dilemma for distributors . despite this , toni erdmann will travel extensively : its audience genes are strong enough to overcome both obstacles .\nthis week , it was announced german language oscar nominee \u201c toni erdmann , \u201d the third directing effort from writer - director maren ade , would be remade in english with jack nicholson and kristen wiig . since indiewire recently curated a gallery suggesting the cast for this developing project , several members of the editorial team shared the following thoughts on the latest news and whether or not it bodes well for the upcoming film .\nas for the proposed remake of toni erdmann that is rumoured will feature bridesmaids star kristen wiig , h\u00fcller is excited by the prospect , \u201ci\u2019m really curious , i\u2019m going to watch it , definitely , \u201d she says . \u201ci\u2019m a big fan of both actors whose names are currently attached to the project , and who knows if it will happen , but it\u2019s a different thing and i\u2019d like to see it . \u201d\nbut dad has other ideas . unconvinced his daughter has her life as together as she claims , \u200ewinfried surreptitiously stays behind . he then makes his presence felt by assuming the comic persona of\ntoni erdmann\n\u2014 a supposed\nlife coach\nintent on helping anyone he encounters . wearing a wig and gag false teeth , he crashes ines ' social obligations , creating numerous script opportunities for pathos , slapstick and surrealism .\nines conradi is a successful businesswoman currently stationed in bucharest but poised for promotion and transfer to singapore when this next deal goes well . winfried conradi is her father , a lonely man , socially handicapped and prone to the dumbest , most trying \u201cpranks\u201d on the planet . there is no such person as toni erdmann . toni erdmann is just what winfriend calls himself when he\u2019s wearing ludicrous false teeth and an even worse wig , which is his go - to costume for \u201cpranking . \u201d his pranks , by the way , consist mainly of just showing up and being this weird alternate personality . he more or less stalks his daughter and endangers her career by showing up at her office and various work functions . if he was your father , you\u2019d either die of embarrassment , or you\u2019d kill him . no two people should survive a relationship like this .\nsimonischek , for his part , would go out into the streets of bucharest dressed as toni erdmann , in part to get into character and in part to gauge how people might react to someone so cluelessly oafish ( and ok , maybe in small part to see how much he could pull their legs ) .\nmany people didn ' t react ,\nhe said .\nbut you could see they wanted to react .\nwriting toni erdmann came out of ade\u2019s research into corporate behaviour . she became fascinated by the role of consultant , discovering that firms often hire them to advise on difficult choices , so bosses have someone to blame for unpopular decisions . at heart , toni erdmann is a powerful political film , not least as a study of how the cold intricacies of managerial language systemically alienate individuals from their instincts . ade says it is \u201cabout globalisation and capitalism and what they do with us , with our relationships\u201d . but , she adds : \u201cit doesn\u2019t give one strong political statement . two days ago i was at a symposium and [ iranian director ] asghar farhadi said , \u2018the time of cinema that gives answers is over \u2013 now\u2019s the time for cinema that asks questions . \u2019 i was like , \u2018oh shit , where\u2019s my notebook ? i have to write that down ! \u2019\u201d\ngrowing tired of their distant relationship following yet another whirlwind visit from his go - getting daughter , winifred decides to pay a surprise visit to ines in bucharest . when his plan for enforced bonding fails , winifred changes tack \u2013 and persona \u2013 by adopting a wig and fake teeth and introducing himself as \u2018toni erdmann\u2019 to ines\u2019 friends and colleagues\u2026 while a horrified ines looks on as her father threatens to compromise her professional and social standing ."]}

lived talk of a remake starring russell brand , who relished the prospect of playing a nastier \u201cmore victorian\u201d fred in interviews while doing press rounds for his version of arthur . the revamp was briefly dredged up again when drop dead fred trended on twitter on the sad day of mayall ' s passing , right alongside the young ones and blackadder , but it seems safe to declare that remake dead ( spelled \u201cduh -

except with fred doing the rebelling for her . when she takes drugs as an adult to make her stop imagining fred , fred becomes lethargic . if you think of fred as lizzie ' s subconscious , it becomes a very depressing and disturbing film .\nvery bizarre film in the most wonderful way . rick mayall steals the show . my son loves this and drop dead fred ' s personality is very infectious . definitely worth watching . i think the 12 rating is a bit excessive though , there ' s a bit of swearing and mild sexual references but it ' s no worse than the original ghostbusters for that sort of content and that ' s pg .\ndrop dead fred is a film i haven\u2019t seen since the 90\u2019s . back then i found the film hard to get into and just weird . i only watched it because it had the beautiful phoebe cates in it from fast times at ridgemont high and gremlins . i believe this was one of the last films phoebe cates did before leaving the spotlight of hollywood . i think i\u2019m going to watch it again .\n( 1988 ) , which geffen distributed 3 years earlier . finally they showed the film to new line cinema . new line ceo robert shaye and executive michael deluca bashed and hated the movie with shaye allegedly calling the movie\nhorseshit\n. but fellow executive sara risher was the only one who liked the movie . she felt that the character of drop dead fred was a comedic reversal of freddy krueger in their\nit was never going to get a great score on the imdb parents ' guide , but if we go by the old platitude that every film eventually finds its audience , it seems drop dead fred ' s audience was actually kids all along . reflecting upon the film in an interview with time out , mayall said : \u201cmums complained that i had corrupted their sons and taught them to wipe bogeys on the furniture . \u201d\nmost friday nights in 1992 , if you were looking to high -

rated movie she could convince mum was actually quite pg .\nit ' s definitely a film about overcoming emotional abuse , but neither the film nor its subtext could ever be called subtle . the subtext is dressed in garish green and yellow , demanding that you take it at face value . while drop dead fred is a figurative manifestation of lizzie ' s repressed rebellious side , imaginary friends have to have some literal tangibility within the world of the film in order for it to work .\nthis off - the - walls comedy from 1991 followed lizzie cronin , a grown woman who & apos ; d failed to blossom after her parents locked away her fantastical bff . but when her life hits a serious low point ( no husband , no job , no money or car ) , she comes across a taped -

watched this childhood fave , i assumed i\u2019d bear witness to 90 minutes of rik mayall embodying anarchy in a bottle ; a sanitised reworking of his obnoxious character in the young ones . i remembered drop dead fred calling his young charge lizzie \u201csnot - face\u201d , mud pies being made on the dining room table and lizzie\u2019s beautiful yellow jumper being unravelled by one stray thread ( and being really , really upset about that ) .\nelizabeth cronin is an unassertive and repressed woman , domineered by her controlling mother , polly . while taking her lunch break from work , she visits her husband , charles , from whom she is separated , hoping to sort out their problems . he reasserts his desire for a divorce and says that he is in love with another woman named annabella . while she is at the public phone , a man walking down the street breaks into her car to steal her purse . then her car is stolen as well . forced to run back to work ( at the courthouse ) , she arrives late and loses her job . while leaving the courthouse she runs into an old friend , mickey , who brings up childhood memories they shared , which includes memories of elizabeth ' s childhood imaginary friend , drop dead fred . mickey explains how only elizabeth could see drop dead fred , and everybody else thought she was crazy .\nhey presto , we have a solid foundation to conclude that perhaps drop dead fred isn\u2019t as light hearted as we though . ( the hair cutting clip literally lasts minutes , again , welcome to psychoanalysis of film ) . the page also suggests the following behavioural characteristics are forms of self harm : staying in abusive or unsatisfactory relationships , excessive risk taking or putting oneself at risk and criminal behaviour . on paper , elizabeth cronin is quite the troubled young woman .\nthen : at the time of & apos ; drop dead fred & apos ; s & apos ; release , peldon was a child actress with two years experience , having made her film debut in the 1989 diane keaton dramedy & apos ; the lemon sisters . & apos ; notably , she also starred on the soap opera & apos ; guiding light , & apos ; and at age four was the youngest performer to be put under contract for the series .\npercussive maintenance : fred thinks lizzie wants him to do this to janie ' s houseboat . he winds up sinking it .\nnow : since & apos ; drop dead fred , & apos ; cates has largely stepped out of the spotlight , appearing in just three features , the most noteworthy of which was the earnest biopic & apos ; princess caraboo . & apos ; she owns the blue tree boutique in nyc and has two children - - owen and greta - - with actor kevin kline . ( owen made his acting debut in & apos ; the squid and the whale . & apos ; )\nfanservice extra : a male example . a really hot waiter wearing only a toga accidentally gets stripped by fred at one point .\nimaginary friend : fred of course . although some of his behavior makes him look more like an imaginary enemy in some sequences .\nredhead in green : fred has an outfit for every occasion , but definitely doesn ' t believe in branching out , chromatically .\nelizabeth ( cates ) is going through a crisis . her husband has left her and she was just fired from her job . she goes to live with her overbearing mother . then something unusual happens . she picks up an old toy and suddenly a green spark escapes from it and grows . it ' s elizabeth ' s childhood imaginary friend drop dead fred ( mayall ) ! he was locked in the jack - in - the - box by elizabeth ' s mother when elizabeth was a kid . now , fred can ' t leave until elizabeth is happy , and that means getting elizabeth back together with her husband , charles . along the way , fred is causing a lot of trouble for elizabeth , just like in the old days . can elizabeth get charles back ? does she really want him ? will fred ' s antics be the end of elizabeth ? find out in this hilarious movie !\nboth tim burton and robin williams were offered the role of director and fred respectively . they turned the project down .

ears lawyer : janie . she ' s apparently a professional woman with a high - paying job , but she is also a complete flake who is very much into new age type thinking and is uncommonly accepting of the very strange . when lizzie tells her about fred she simply accepts it , and when fred sinks her houseboat she gets mad at fred ( not lizzie ) and tries to beat him up .\ntraumatic haircut : fred does this to lizzie ' s new ' do while she ' s sleeping . and also once when she was younger .\nafter a pep talk from her friend janie , elizabeth moves back into her mother ' s home , having nowhere else to go . while rummaging through past belongings in her childhood bedroom closet , elizabeth finds a taped - shut jack - in - the - box , which polly supposedly trapped drop dead fred in years ago . she places the box by the window and gets into bed . through a series of flashbacks , it is revealed that while he caused havoc for her , he also gave her happiness and a release from her oppressive mother . elizabeth wakes up to find the jack -

too weird and complex to simply tear apart and make better . it ' s a post punk comedy in every sense and even if it ' s not as universally well regarded as some films of its era that have already been remade , it has the same untouchable status for those who love it . as with so many true cult classics , it was utterly unmarketable , but that is not to say that it is unremarkable - not by any stretch of the imagination .\npoltergeist : fred can interact with people and things , even give the illusion that he can appear as another person ( the violinist in the mall ) .\nelizabeth ' lizzie ' cronin is a very mild , meek young woman who is controlled and stepped over by all , espically her mother and husband . lizzie is a dutiful , loving wife to her husband charles , who barely notices her and has affairs . she listens to everything her overbearing , divorced mother says . while visiting her mother in her childhood home , lizie finds an old jack - in - the - box toy she had forgotten about . she winds up the box and out pops\ndrop dead fred\n, an imaginary childhood friend who only lizzie could see as a child .\nin - series nickname : fred has a few nicknames for polly . his most common is the megabitch / megabeast . and for lizzie , more affectionately , snotface .\ngreat analysis ! if i may elaborate : fred represents the part of lizzy that she had to always repress around her mother ( the part of her that was a child , curious , fun , alive ) . fred became more and more destructive because she used fred as a way to act out the anger she felt inside for being afraid all of the time . when he reappears and smacks her on the head it\u2019s not because he is cruel . it is because lizzy has been living as a quiet doormat and she has finally had a mental breakdown from recent circumstances . she calls on fred for help and that part of her brain reactivates to come to her rescue . she does in fact smear dog feces on her mother\u2019s carpet because she is weak and can\u2019t stand up to her ( passive aggressive ) . when she cuts her hair it is an act of rebellion towards her controlling mother . if you remember her mother takes her to get a makeover earlier that day and has lizzy\u2019s hair cut just like hers . lizzy is trying desperately to get away from her mom but doesn\u2019t know how because she has been mentally beaten down into pulp by her all of her life . fred isn\u2019t a bad guy ( metaphorically speaking ) , he\u2019s trying to wake her up and get her to stand up for herself , but he is a angry child so he comes off as destructive . i love drop dead fred , he is the part of me that is me that she can never reach .\npolygram and working title films did not have us distribution divisions at the time . they often relied on other distributors to handle us distribution for their movies . they were both struggling to find a us distributor to sell the film to . they showed the final cut of drop dead fred to various distributors including orion pictures , miramax films , the samuel goldwyn company , vestron pictures , tristar pictures , mgm / ua , and 20th century fox . all of them called the film\na depressing children ' s movie on drugs\nand turned the movie down . they even brought it to the geffen film company . but they turned it down because they felt the movie was a rip off of\nunwanted assistance : lizzie in understandably displeased by fred ' s attempts to make her lighten up . it isn ' t until the climax that she realizes why she needed him all along .\non top of this , there\u2019s the opening credits sequence with cartoon toys being mutilated , fred looking up lizzie\u2019s mother\u2019s dress and shouting \u201ccobwebs ! \u201d , and him generally being a serious creeper .\ndesignated hero : fred . he acts like an absolute psychopath and damn near ruins elizabeth ' s life but is supposedly doing it for a good purpose , which makes him a good guy .\nher marriage on the rocks , lizzie cronin ( phoebe cates ) is forced to return to her domineering mother . in desperation , lizzie calls upon fred ( rik mayall ) , the imaginary friend of her childhood , to help her through this difficult period . but fred proves to be more hindrance than help - the effects of his actions are far from imaginary and lizzie must take the blame .\nfred warmbier appeared critical of the obama administration ' s handling of otto ' s detention , saying the family heeded the us government ' s initial advice to take a low profile\nwithout result .\nelizabeth\nlizzie\ncronin ( cates ) has had a horrible day , her entire life falling apart within a single lunch hour . first , while trying to reconcile with her husband over his affair , he dumps her . her purse and then car are stolen as she tries to figure out what to do about her life , and finally she loses her job . lizzie ' s controlling mother polly ( marsha mason ) arrives on the scene and shanghais lizzie into staying with her . upon returning to her childhood home and exploring her old room , lizzie discovers an old , taped up jack - in - the - box . when she opens it , lizzie ends up releasing her childhood imaginary friend drop dead fred ( mayall ) , whom her mother had trapped inside the toy many years ago .\nworried by elizabeth ' s recent strange behavior , polly brings her to a ( children ' s ) psychologist . in the waiting room , fred is seen meeting up with the imaginary friends of other patients , who are all children . the doctor prescribes medication to rid her of him , whom he and polly believe is a figment of her imagination . she also changes her appearance and wardrobe . charles now wants her back and she is overjoyed , until fred discovers he is still cheating on her with annabella . heartbroken , she tells fred that she cannot leave charles , because she is scared of being alone . they escape to a dream sequence in which she is finally able to reject him , stand up to polly , and declare she is no longer afraid of her . she frees her imprisoned childhood self . fred tells her that she no longer needs him , so they kiss and he disappears into her eternal subconscious .\nin another flashback of her childhood , elizabeth and fred pretend to burgle their own house , resulting in her father getting arrested . the more i watch this film , the more i think fred is a really unhealthy manifestation in her childhood , and perhaps , resulted in the parent\u2019s divorce . this also shows the first evidence of clear mental abuse and neglect from the mother , elizabeth tries to make amends for her actions and she downheartedly says : \u201cmaybe mommy\u2019s right , i never do anything right . \u201d that phrase shouldn\u2019t ever leave a child\u2019s mouth , regardless of their behaviour and from this point ; the film takes a dark turn . fred consoles her by saying : \u201cshe\u2019s always fighting with your dad ; she\u2019s always calling you horrible things . \u201d \u2013 that\u2019s also not right . regardless of whether fred is a \u2018real\u2019 imaginary friend ( you get what i\u2019m saying ) , elizabeth felt this way as a child , which is textbook abuse .\nelizabeth ' s [ phoebe cates ] world has been turned upside down . her marriage to charles [ tim matheson ] appears to be over following her discovery that he has cheated on her ; but she simply can ' t stop loving him . despite the support of her friend janey [ carrie fisher ] she is unhappy . in her misery , her imaginary childhood friend fred [ rik mayall ] reappears , having being previously locked away from her . his sole purpose to cheer elizabeth up , although things do not go to plan . elizabeth stays with her mother [ marsha mason ] ; quite cold to elizabeth , who intends to put elizabeth back with charles but in the meantime makes her into a younger double of herself . elizabeth works to get charles back into her life , even turning up at a party ( with fred ) despite part of elizabeth being overjoyed at seeing fred again and remembering their fun care - free times together , all he ever seems to do for elizabeth is cause trouble . after a certain number of unforgiveable actions , elizabeths mother takes her to ' get help ' and rid her of fred forever . . . elizabeth returns to charles and starts taking ' mediacation ' to rid herself of fred . it is only when taking the last pill that she realises charles hasn ' t changed at all and that fred is really the only person she can trust . when she follows him into a dream like world , she gets the chance to overcome her greatest fears : her mother , charles ' infidelity and the little girl inside dealing with loneliness . unfortunately , the only way she can truly rid herself of the fears is to lose fred for good by realising she doesn ' t need him any longer .\nif you ' re of a certain age and , much like phoebe cates ' protagonist elizabeth at the beginning of the movie , you haven ' t seen fred since you were a child , you may remember it as a childhood staple that you were probably a bit young to be watching and for many , it might have been your introduction to mayall ' s comic stylings . however , also like lizzie , fred ' s anarchic behaviour has different implications when you meet him again in adulthood .\nif you ' re of a certain age and , much like phoebe cates ' protagonist elizabeth at the beginning of the movie , you haven ' t seen fred since you were a child , you may remember it as a childhood staple that you were probably a bit young to be watching . for many , it might have been your introduction to mayall ' s comic stylings . however , also like lizzie , fred ' s anarchic behavior has different implications when you meet him again in adulthood .\nthen : prior to playing the booger - flinging fred , the british comedian was famous in the uk for appearances on such comedy shows as & apos ; filthy rich & catflap & apos ; and & apos ; the young ones . & apos ;\nthe beloved comedy classic - released on april 19 , 1991 - centered around lizzie and her childhood imaginary friend fred . it brought us a whole lot of joy , and probably , way too many late blockbuster fees ( sorry , mum ! ) .\nthe latest confirmed fatality monday came at around noon in porter , a town immediately north of houston in montgomery county . police said a woman in her 60s was napping in her bedroom when a large oak tree landed on top of her mobile home . by the time rescue workers waded through the waist - deep water to rescue the woman , she was dead .\nhaving been imprisoned in the toy for twenty - three years , fred is surprised to find lizzie grown up , depressed and piled under her unhappy life . as her imaginary friend , he tries to help her put things back together and cheer her up like he did when she was little . fred ' s sense of humour and disregard for consequences cause some more problems for elizabeth , but he ultimately helps her rediscover her inner child and the strength to live her own life free from her domineering , emotionally abusive mother .\nsince losing her job elizabeth moves back into her mother ' s home . while rummaging through past belongings in her childhood bedroom closet , elizabeth finds a taped - shut jack - in - the - box . she places the box by the window and gets into bed . through a series of flashbacks , it is revealed that while he caused havoc for her , he also gave her happiness and a release from her oppressive mother . elizabeth wakes up to find the jack - in - the - box slowly playing music . she removes the tape and the box continues to play itself , faster and faster , until drop dead fred flies out of the box , finally freed after all these years . he agrees to help her become happy again , which she believes will only happen when she wins back charles . however , his childish antics do more harm than good . he sinks janie ' s boat , causes havoc at a restaurant , and even makes lizzie attack a person playing a violin in a shopping mall .\nthis completely relates to elizabeth\u2019s situation , she hasn\u2019t ever had control over her own life . in childhood her parent\u2019s marital problems were completely out of her control , it was an event that she could not change . her mother makes it clear that she believes elizabeth\u2019s behaviour as a child resulted in her father leaving , and i feel that in the flashbacks , she constantly regrets her actions , which she also had no control over because of , fred . her marriage failing was because she was unable to control charles , which her mother also blames her for . at one point she describes fred as being \u2018out of control\u2019 but if we are looking at this as fred being a part of her psyche that she invented to express herself , she is talking about herself and her behaviour \u2013 that\u2019s some deep shit .\nthe film makes no secret of elizabeth having a bad childhood . there are constant hints to her mother ( marsha mason ) being a tough parent , and even in the opening scenes , elizabeth\u2019s childhood friend , mickey ( ron eldard ) , admits : \u201cwe were all a little afraid of your mother\u201d . mickey reminds elizabeth that she had an imaginary friend who \u2018made her\u2019 shave his cat and throw yellow paint over his grandmother , all of which she had completely forgotten about . the film deals with the issues surrounding elizabeth\u2019s parents and their divorce , which were all cushioned by drop dead fred . he was there to serve a purpose and that was to help elizabeth cope with these traumatic events of childhood through fun and mischief , and she eventually repressed these memories , which does allude to a deeper , darker pain that she associates with this time in her life . these playful gags can be seen as comedy , or as cries for attention , for help , or , a desperate longing to be accepted by her parents \u2013 it can easily be viewed in two different ways .\nan aesop : elizabeth ' s greatest fear is being alone . after defending herself and freeing her younger self in her dream , fred tells her that all she had to learn was that as long as she had herself and stood up for herself , she was never really alone .\nprior to playing fred , comedian rik myall already had a legion of fans from his role as the charismatic lord flashheart in blackadder . he went on to do a bunch of a different projects - from merlin to voicing lord reginald on spongebob squarepants ( who knew ? ! ) .\nit ' s capped by the introduction of the green pills prescribed by the psychologist , whose purpose we first hear of in the waiting room , in the only scene of the movie in which fred is alone . you can still argue for the reading that fred is purely in lizzie ' s mind , which is supported by the immediate negative effect of the medication on him , but this scene first upholds the intention that he is ' real ' enough in the world of the film , even though only she can see him and he is bound to her emotionally .\nlizzie ' s / fred ' s actions include rubbing dog shit on the carpet and asymmetrically cutting her own hair after a makeover designed to make her look just like polly , but also sabotaging lizzie ' s healthy relationships by sinking janie ' s houseboat and causing a small riot during dinner with a besotted mickey . as in childhood , she ' s left blaming fred for each of these seemingly inexplicable aberrations , but before she can get better , she must eventually own up - to herself , if no one else - that she ' s scared of winding up alone .\nin the movie elizabeth loses her husband and her job , than lizzie ' s mother forces elizabeth to live with her again and than begins to start reorganizing elizabeth ' s life . while staying in her old room she finds a jack - in - the - box that contains her childhood imaginary friend . she remembers that her mother had locked him in there when she was a child . now , fred cannot leave elizabeth until she is happy again which means getting her husband back and putting her life in order . while doing this though fred is still his old self always causing mischief in lizzie ' s life .\n\u201cfred ' s imaginary , so he can be anything , \u201d mayall told film 91 during a set visit that was previewed ahead of the film ' s uk release date . \u201che can be over - the - top and loud and stupid and childish . . . so that means i can be me . \u201d\nanother way to look at it is that , the box is symbolic of her childhood , and the removal of the tape was a ritual unlocking of repressed memories , such as abuse and her parents\u2019 divorce \u2013 which would have undoubtedly caused some trauma . this theory would also explain why elizabeth was shown at the beginning of this scene crying in her sleep , and then it fades to a flashback of her crying as a child , then fred\u2019s hand comes out from under the pillow and slaps her in the head . that scene in itself is pretty rich in potential meanings , maybe fred hit her because he wanted to toughen her up and help her develop a thick skin so she could cope with her parent\u2019s separation , or maybe fred is the abuser and was asserting his dominance , or maybe , he was just hitting her because he\u2019s being a cheeky shit , and there are no hidden meanings ? i dunno , welcome to film psychoanalysis .\nwhile i can\u2019t say that fred is attractive in his cringe - worthy up - skirt gags or certain casually misogynistic sentiments , it\u2019s quite a surprise to discover how tender he is during the film\u2019s quieter final third . like the time he comforts five - year - old lizzie as she berates herself for never doing anything right\u2026\nvisible to believers : fred is an imaginary friend who was sealed in a jack - in - the - box for many years , until his creator accidentally releases him . presumably if he hadn ' t been sealed up he ' d have been out in the world even if he had no longer been believed in .\n1992 : exxon is a prominent member of the global climate coalition ( gcc ) , the most active fossil fuel front group questioning the science of climate change . in 1992 the gcc begins using well - known climate skeptics like patrick michaels , robert balling and fred singer ( all partly funded by exxon ) as \u201cexperts\u201d .\nwhile he spends most of the movie ricocheting around at full volume , he ' s not without nuance , especially in the latter parts of the film . fred ' s goodbye to lizzie , which takes place in the tim burton - esque home ground of her subconscious , is as touching as the film gets and mayall ' s warmth is only more pronounced by virtue of him having been such a shit for the rest of the movie . just a few years later , in 1994 , many of the critics who drubbed fred embraced jim carrey for acting just as silly in a trio of more commercial movies , ( including the mask ) that weren ' t about as much ."]}

\u201cthat depends on shankar ' s ai . once he firms up on that film ' s release , he will decide on kappal . \u201d\nthis ship wasn ' t meant to sail . with a threadbare plot and a story that ' s far too stretched , kappal goes nowhere . the saving grace is its humour , snatches of which are interesting . with rs 10 - crore budget , karthik g krish could certainly have done a better job .\nvaibhav is back with a new look in his upcoming film \u2018kappal\u2019 , a mix of love , friendship & some interesting twists . watch the teaser of this fun flick directed by karthik g . krish , a former assistant of director shankar , with music by natarajan sankaran . movie - kappal music - natarajan sankaran director - karthik g krish starring - vaibhav , sonam bajwa editing - anthony cinematography - dinesh krishnan banner - s . pictures & i studios entertainment music label - sony music entertainment india pvt . ltd . subscribe : vevo - urltoken like us : facebook : urltoken follow us : twitter : urltoken g + : urltoken\nin the climax scene where she gets to express strong emotions , dillija handles the moment with fair competence . the title song is melodious and has some meaningful lyrics . kagidha kappal is a sincere effort to strike away from the formula - routine , but it falls short of being interesting and appealing to the audience .\nnowadays younglings in tamil movie industry are adamant in choosing a common plot for their movie . love , trouble , friends and happy endings has become a common ingredient in tamil movies . this is not a generalisation but majority of movies are like this . despite this formula elements they add stuffs or the way they present movies differ . anyhow same is the case of kappal too . but what makes this movie stand apart from the crowd is kappal is hilarious and will make your stomach ache with laughter . so kappal can be termed as a complete festival movie . and the luckiest thing for this movie is that they doesn ' t have any competition at all . lingaa at present are struggling to take even a breath . anyhow vaibhav and his gangs have created a laughing riot in the theater . so when you have decided to watch this movie expect some good laugh do not bother to think about any other thing besides that . - see more at : urltoken\nhow far can a guy go in search of the perfect girl ?

he packs his movie with such silly situations that one can take a snooze and not miss anything .\nin fact , there has often been a clutter at the box office . christmas weekend saw four tamil movies \u2014 arya\u2019s meagamann , s pictures\u2019 kappal , prabhu solomon\u2019s kayal and vikram prabhu\u2019s vellaikara durai \u2014 competing at the box office with mysskin\u2019s pissasu , which opened to good reviews the previous weekend , and rajinikanth\u2019s lingaa , which is now slowly being phased out to make way for new releases .\nchirpy , fun and hilarious - romantic - comedies are always feel - good films . but how about the ones that use stalking and male - chauvinism ? do they qualify to be in this genre ? maybe yes , but concepts like these should have been made at least 10 years ago . thankfully , director karthik g . krish ` s kappal doesn ` t use this as the plot . . .\nwill next be seen in an action comedy titled saithaan ka bachcha . the film will be directed by karthik g krish , who earlier made the comedy , kappal . says karthik , \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdas the title implies , siddharth plays a carefree , fun - loving person , and the impact that his character has on the other characters forms the plot . \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd he adds that the story is set against both , urban and rural backdrops .\nits music is composed by natarajan sankaran and produced by i studios entertainment ; i . e . the film has all the known names handling specific areas of music , production etc . kappal is a good budget film made with a cost of nearly 20 crores . being a good budget film with a good star power film has released on high number of screens and expected to collect decent income in the coming days of the weekend .\nafter the decent success of damaal dumeel , vaibhav is happy with his performance and the satisfactory response given by the audiences and critics . his upcoming film kappal is progressing at a rapid pace and the post - production works are underway . it is directed by debutant karthik g . krish , a former assistant of director shankar . the film is touted to be a rom - com and sonam preet bajwa will star opposite vaibhav in her debut film .\nyou also wonder if kappal could have resisted from having ganesh say lines like , \u201ccity - na pick up pannidalaam , \u201d and explaining to vasu that \u201crich girls are easy\u201d and that \u201cmost girls who talk english cannot talk good grammar\u201d . but then , i suppose in a film that only tries to be funny , one mustn\u2019t take these dialogues too seriously . it would have been easier not to take them seriously had they not existed in the first place .\nkappal is ready to set sail from december 25 , 2014 is receiving good reviews from the audience , and the movie is filled with comedy and the way they takes the movie is simple superb . this movie is purely a comedy flick , and you will surely love the comedy part . vtv ganesh who is famous for his voice had been the part of the movie , playing a important role . overall the entire ship is filled with fun . you should take this ride . ! !\nthe premise of kappal \u2014 three friends willing to go to any lengths to stop the fourth from breaking their childhood promise of celibacy \u2014 isn\u2019t altogether rooted in reality . but to be annoyed by it is to miss the point . there\u2019s no message here , just like how the main characters are friends for no particular reason . as the film asks before displaying its title card : who needs a reason to be friends ? director karthik g . krish , however , understands that while friendship may not need reasons , humour definitely does . and there\u2019s plenty of that in the film .\nthe protagonist vasu ( vaibhav ) , along with his friends , played by actors such as karunakaran and arjunan , then move on to college , and the joke meter continues to tick . in this phase , vasu is your typical college casanova \u2014 at any given time , a college girl isn\u2019t more than five inches away from him \u2014 and his friends aren\u2019t happy with the way he\u2019s shaping . it is during this time that you wonder if the idea for the film was inspired by an old vivek joke : \u201c figure - a paatha udane , friendship - a cut pannitingale \u201d . vasu finally wriggles himself out of the vice - like emotional grip of his friends by escaping to chennai , which according to kappal , is a bachelor\u2019s dreamland with women waiting to be\ncorrected\n.\nkappal , however , fulfils its only purpose \u2014 to be funny . one of its gems is when vasu is surrounded by rowdies and he requests them to desist from violence and instead engage in an exchange of abuses . as the goons and vasu trade verbal blows , you hear nothing , of course \u2014 who dares take the censors on when there\u2019s a 30 per cent rebate on offer for u certified films ? \u2014 but as you can glean from the laughter in the theatre , there\u2019s nothing to stop the audience from imagining the words . green tamil letters sprinkle forth from vasu\u2019s mouth as he hurls what clearly are the vilest abuses ever ( the goons start bleeding from their ears and reel in the impact , while some run away in terror ) , and just as you wonder why the director has chosen that colour , you realise it\u2019s because vasu \u2018 pachchayaa pesaraar \u2019 . from this graphics sequence , you can easily guess that director karthik is shankar\u2019s assistant . if you cannot figure it out from this scene , the whole \u201c kadhal casatta \u201d song and its lavish set leave no doubts .\nvaibhav and newcomer sonam bajwa play the lead roles supported by karunakaran , vtv ganesh and arjunan . the film has music by natarajan sankaran .\nvasu ( vaibhav ) and his four friends live in the small town of mayiladuthurai . friends since childhood , they have a deep affection for each other .\nan incident in their childhood leads them to believe that a woman coming into their life would destroy their friendship . they take a vow to remain unmarried . though vasu is a casanova and not very keen on the promise , he does not want to hurt them .\nthey grow up and vasu is now even more determined to find a girl to love and marry . he leaves his village on the pretext of finding a job in chennai .\naway from their influence , he meets and falls in love with deepika ( sonam bajwa ) , a rich modern girl . things are pretty smooth sailing for them , as there is no opposition to their love even from her father , a multimillionaire .\ntrouble begins for vasu when his friends land in chennai . they are determined to separate the lovers and take their friend back to the village . caught between the affections of his friends and his lover , vasu\u2019s life becomes hell .\nthe film is hilarious in parts and ridiculous and highly exaggerated in others . the scenes that depict their childhood and school days are a laugh riot . the spontaneity of the child actors and their perfect comic timing , launch the film on a positive note .\nas they grow older , there are several scenes that have you rolling with laughter , particularly the climax .\nvaibhav , karunakaran and arjunan keep you in splits and so does vtv ganesh , who essays the character of nelson , vasu\u2019s friend in chennai .\nthe scantily clad , slim and pretty sonam bajwa seems to be the ideal choice for the ultra modern rich girl who loves her booze .\nbut the director has been unable to maintain the same level of fun throughout . some of their pranks are too clich\u00e9d and frivolous to be funny .\nconstantly demeaning women , portraying her as a demon out to destroy all relationships is hard to digest . also , women from the city are shown as frequenting pubs , drinking and easy to pick up .\nwhat is a r rahman doing at a dubai mall ?

same . rest of the story is as how vasu escapes from this tricky situation and wins his love .\nconcept of the film is quite interesting and novel . there are a lot of comedy elements in the film as the proceedings move quite smoothly . hero vaibhav does a superb job and is quite hilarious in his role . his acting has improved by leaps and bounds and is quite a treat to watch during the comedy scenes .\nthe female lead , sonam bazwa is decent and is a apt choice for her role . all her scenes with vaibhav are interesting and have been executed well . first half of the film is entertaining and has some hilarious moments .\neven though this film is high on comedy , it is painfully long . certain scenes in the climax have been stretched out unnecessarily and could have been easily edited . lack of known faces will surely go against the reach of the film .\nthe conflict point in the film is diluted with just one simple scene which also lacks seriousness . this is a kind of film which is predictable in nature and does not have any of those mesmerizing scenes .\ncertain scenes during the second half look over the top and silly . songs spoil the flow of the film and could have been totally avoided .\nproduction values are quite good as the camera work covers the locations well . editing is decent but the makers could have let go off many scenes to make the proceedings racy . songs are decent but come as speed breakers in the film .\nscreenplay is just about ok as some boring and unnecessary scenes are invoked into the proceedings once in a while . coming to the director karthik , he has done a decent job with the entertainment part but stretches the film way too long .\non the whole , pandavullo okadu is a film which has some entertaining elements . interesting first half and some youthful elements will connect with the youngsters well . if you manage to sit through the lengthy run time , ignore the predictable script and have nothing else to do , you can give this film a shot .\n. the film is an interesting combination of humour , friendship and romance . interestingly , most part of the film is quite enjoyable except for its prolonged second half and an unwanted ' kaadhal keedhal ' song .\nvasu ( vaibhav ) wants to fall in love but his bizarre promise of not marrying any one comes as a huge obstacle in his life . at one point of time , vasu finds a way to escape from his friends and comes to chennai to achieve his dream of falling in love . when deepika ( sonam pajwa ) comes into vaibhav ' s life , his own friends become his biggest enemies . the rest of the film is a rollicking fun ride on how the duo enters into wedlock . . .\n, the heroine is shown as any other urban girl who boozes , goes to party and opts for a date . also , the love does not happen at first look and the girl takes her own time over it . the director showcases urban love and intimacy in an endearing manner , also the complete first half is filled with good one liner which evokes great laughter .\nthe scene where vaibhav wins a fight with rowdies by playing a foul word competition is a good creativity and also the initial narrations where the grown up vaibhav introducing his childhood friends is a scream . on the downside , the film could have been shorter . on the whole , it ends up as a watchable flick which is enjoyable in parts .\nperformance wise it is vaibhav ' s career best and his comic sense has worked out big time . newcomer sonam pajwa looks cute and sexy and the actress might go places if she chooses good projects . the other actors including vtv ganesh , karukaran and arjunan have done a decent job .\ntechnically , cinematography by dinesh krishnan is slick and shown the film as grand as possible while the editing could have been better . anthony could have trimmed many sequences which are affecting the pace of the movie . music by natraj sankaran flows with the movie and the\napparently , karthik had sivakarthikeyan , jai and vaibhav in mind once he had written the script . but , he approached vaibhav first and he was impressed with the story right after the narration . the audio launch for the film is scheduled for next month and the team is looking for a release date in june . karthik worked with shankar in two landmark films , endhiran and nanban and is eagerly looking forward to make his debut in k\u2019town .\nkochadaiiyan is all set to hit the screens on may 9 . the hysteria and frenzy over the superstar film is . . .\nm suganth , tnn , updated : may 16 , 2016 , 11 . 01 am ist\nkadaikutty

' the spy who f * * * ed me ' doesn ' t help it ' s case . ironically , some censorship attempts in the u . k made the title sound even more dirty .\n. . . a spy movie with car chases , a murder , a shag and a happy ending .\nan interview with terry gilliam , director of\nthe man who killed don quixote .\nsculptor : mini me & dr . evil makeups : makeup & monsters ( uncredited )\naustin powers : international man of mystery was only a modest success at the box office . the film became a bigger hit when it was released on video .\npowers knocks over and breaks some items while trying to drive his time machine car .\nbasil exposition : the shouting is a temporary side effect of the unfreezing . austin powers : yes . . . i ' m having difficulty controlling the volume of my voice !\nhypocritical humor : there ' s two things nigel powers can ' t stand :\npeople who are intolerant of other people ' s cultures . . . and the dutch !\nin the clever and hilarious\nstar wars\ninspired trailer for\naustin powers : the spy who shagged me ,\na familiar sci - fi score plays as a bald figure spins around in a chair of a space ship and mockingly asks if we were expecting someone else . of course it ' s not darth vader , but dr . evil , the brilliant blofeld - like villain created by\nsaturday night live\nalum , mike myers . when the narrator in that trailer then announces that if you see two pictures this year , make sure the second one is this film , he was right .\nthe parodies of early james bond movies are reasonably funny , just as they were in the first austin powers , but there ' s nothing fresh about them either .\nthe spy who shagged me\nseems to forget that austin is a man out of his time ; there are few laughs based on the fact that he ' s 30 years past his sell - by date , and there ' s so much time travel in this movie that half of the time he ' s back in the ' 60s again . even when he ' s in the ' 90s , however , the women seem to take him on his own terms . myers and his collaborators , flush with the victory of the first film , have forgotten that austin is a misfit and not a hero .\nthe risqu title of the austin powers sequel , the spy who shagged me , has been given a reprieve by the board of film censorship ( bfc ) in singapore . last week we reported that censors were unhappy with the word \u0091shag\u0092 in the title and had suggested submitting \u0091shoik\u0092 instead , which means ' good ' or ' nice ' . tickled though we were at the implications \u0096 felicity shoikwell , step forward \u0096 we couldn\u0092t help feeling such a decision missed the point of austin altogether . happily , the straits times now reports that the bfc have changed their minds after seeing a trailer for he film . the paper printed a letter from the censors which said :\ntoday ' s educated singaporeans are more mature and discerning enough to see the humour in it .\naustin powers : international man of mystery is to be released in singapore on 24 june and it will reach uk screens on 30 july .\nat austin ' s pad , fat bastard makes another attempt to assassinate austin , but felicity disarms him . felicity and austin then throw a party . back in 1969 , dr . evil recovers mini - me from space and vows to\nget\naustin . on jerry springer , scott learns he was not created in a test tube , but is the love child of dr . evil and frau farbissina . austin returns to his pad , only to discover felicity with the past austin , who claims that since he and austin are the same person , it is not cheating .\nlater defied when number three tells austin to just get it out of his system . austin gladly obliges .\nare there any rules on what words are censored on epgs ? ( i ' m using sky ) in the past when austin powers : the spy who shagged me has been shown ( mostly on comedy central but possibly also on c4 / e4 ) the word\nshagged\nhas been replaced with asterisks . tonight it is on fiver and the full title is shown on the epg without being censored . it just seems a little strange . is it in -

nemesis dr . evil has ventured back to that year and successfully stolen austin ' s\nmojo\nand set up a powerful laser and aimed it at earth . with the help of gorgeous agent felicity shagwell , the newly single austin must now not only contend with dr . evil , but also evil ' s vicious , pint - size attack - clone , mini - me .\nin the original movie , austin powers ( mike myers ) is a caricature of film super - spies from a specific time period ( the sixties ) who arrives in the nineties and finds himself an outsider . the comedy comes from austin powers trying to fit in and win over elizabeth hurley . austin powers is used to being hip and cool , and he just doesn ' t get that he ' s hip and cool no longer . we laugh at not just his funny looks and behavior , but at the absurdity of his looks and behavior in a present - day setting .\nthe dragon : in the second movie , mini - me hilariously fills this role , giving austin a hell of a beating before the climactic showdown with dr . evil . keep in mind that mini - me , played by verne troyer , is less than three feet tall .\nquartermaster : one swedish -

1 transfer doesn\u2019t fare nearly as well as the first two films . while its colors , contrast , and black levels are just as notable as they are in \u2018the spy who shagged me , \u2019 a noticeable application of dnr is responsible for smudging facial textures , muddying the image , and leaving fine detail looking far softer than it should . why new line chose to tamper with the third film and present the first two more faithfully is a mystery , but it\u2019s definitely disappointing . thankfully , the image is still clean , artifact - free , and isn\u2019t prone to banding or noise . had the studio treated \u2018goldmember\u2019 as respectfully as the other two , i would currently be raving about the video quality for the entire \u2018austin powers collection . \u2019 as it stands , this one just doesn\u2019t stack up the rest .\naustin , and in a twist , dr . evil after drinking austin ' s mojo . all for comedy .\nco - written by myers and former snl writer michael mccullers ( who collaborated again on goldmember ) , the first draft began with a joke that the film was titled austin powers 2 : the wrath of khan , before pressure from lawyers forced them to change it to austinpussy .\nin the same vein , except that this time it ' s austin powers who ' s naked , romping around a hotel while the movie ' s credits and assorted objects hide his privates , until finally he winds up in a pink swimsuit , participating in a synchronized swimming routine . the sequence contains some mildy amusing sight gags , but it ' s not new , and it contributes nothing to austin powers ' character . in\n. . . who then turn out to be the part of it that brings it full circle .\nmini - me first kicks , then bites austin in the junk in the second film , during their fight on the moon base . he kicks him there again during their brief fight in the third film .\nmalaysian television recently showed the first austin powers film , international man of mystery , and , despite the ban , copies of the latest film are expected to be widely available on pirated vcds .\nthey knew austin would be useless if he wasn ' t getting some regularly , and no actual female spy from the ' 90s would put up with his cheesy ' 60s pickup lines anymore .\nlike \u2018the spy who shagged me , \u2019 \u2018goldmember\u2019 boasts memorable scenes , outrageous sequences , and a host of hilarious encounters . unfortunately , it\u2019s all buried within a messy , convoluted screenplay , uneven and unending subplots , and a collection of characters that fail to capture the imagination like the original creations . powers\u2019 father is a boring and predictable addition to the mythos , the various revelations about powers and evil\u2019s past never gets off the ground , and van der smut is one of the worst comedic inventions of recent memory . considering the title refers to the character\u2019s alias , you would think he would be the high point of the film . instead , his schtick grows old within minutes and i groaned every time he appeared on screen . i really wanted to fall in love with this one , but couldn\u2019t ignore its faults long enough to immerse myself in powers\u2019 world for a third time .\nthis is a who pre -

centric film flames out , you still get those who hope or feel entitled to a second installment . and eventually the conversation comes around to\nlook at austin powers !\n. the idea is of course that a proverbial macgruber 2 could somehow parlay the alleged goodwill of the first installment and thus break out the second time around . but of course austin powers : international man of mystery technically broke out the first time around .\nthe film ' s title is a play on the 1977 bond film the spy who loved me and contains plot elements from james bond films diamonds are forever ( laser gun plot and cloning ) , you only live twice ( secret volcano base ) , moonraker ( outer space ventures ) , the man with the golden gun ( mini me based on character nick nack from bond film mentioned ) and on her majesty ' s secret service ( opening sequence in which vanessa kensington dies ) ."]}

malayalam bilingual film which was directed by alphonse putharen and released in 2013 . the music won him immediate attention . the promo song pistah : the run anthem , had gone viral in 2013 . the song pistah also featured as ipl promo song for the year 2016 .

y implications of \u201cthe sound of trees\u201d don\u2019t quite square with its raw , sometimes rowdy portrayal of stir - crazy adolescent debauchery in the small village of gaspesie \u2014 the flat , thirsty vistas of which are shot with appropriately desolate grandeur ( going heavy on the late - afternoon lens flares ) by francois messier - rheault .\nthen again , as a literal reference to the timberyard vocation seemingly prescribed for young jeremie ( l\u2019ecuyer ) , \u201cthe sound of trees\u201d is perhaps an apt description of the quiet life he yearns to escape \u2014 even if the road only takes him as far as the relative metropolis of quebec city . dedicated in the closing credits to the helmer\u2019s own son , peloquin\u2019s film is shot through with a warm understanding of how people shift and widen their personal goalposts as the decades pass , and the compensatory rewards we give ourselves when certain dreams go unfulfilled .\nthe film\u2019s final minutes leave you feeling angry and cheated , like the loser in a game of narrative three - card monte . the man next to me in the theater slowly shook his head as the end credits crawled down the screen , as if the film had crossed a line he didn\u2019t know existed .\ndirector biography french - canadian director fran\u00e7ois p\u00e9loquin makes his feature - film debut with the sound of trees . he also directs documentary series , music videos , commercials , visual designs for the stage , and short films . his past credits include l ' amour domestique , les derniers jours de juin , and l ' or du silence . he discovered his love of filmmaking as a videographer for radio - canada .\n17 year - old j\u00e9r\u00e9mie ( antoine l ' \u00e9cuyer ) dreams of a better life , away from the family sawmill and his native village in gasp\u00e9sie , qu\u00e9bec . instead of the forestry work , j\u00e9r\u00e9mie prefers hip hop music , pimping his car and slacking off with his friends . the situation despairs his father r\u00e9gis ( roy dupuis ) , who blames this disinterest on a local drug dealer . when the elder brother leaves town , the lives of j\u00e9r\u00e9mie and r\u00e9gis drastically change . filmed in around thirty scenes , the sound of trees is a film that chronicles moments in the summer of a teenager caught between the river and the forest .\nfran\u00e7ois p\u00e9loquin is an anthropologist at heart with a deep love of people and their ordinary ways . one of his big strengths is being able to create powerful images that reflect his obsession for truthful details . he discovered the film medium in 1997\u201398 when , as a videographer for radio - canada tv , he shot the travel series \u201cla course autour du monde 97\u201398 . \u201d this was followed by numerous short films , commercials , music videos , documentary series and visual designs for the stage . the sound of trees is p\u00e9loquin\u2019s feature debut . he is currently working on his second film entitled the secrets , whose screenplay again involves the collaboration of sarah l\u00e9vesque .\nif you are wandering one day , lonely and lost , and happen upon the sea of trees , the latest from oscar - nominated director gus van sant , chop it to the ground .\nfounded in 1982 , the greater vancouver international film festival society is a not - for - profit cultural society and federally registered charitable organization that operates the internationally acclaimed vancouver international film festival ( viff ) , the annual viff industry conference and the year - round programming of the vancity theatre at the vancouver international film centre . its mandate is to encourage understanding of the world ' s cultures through the art of cinema , to foster the art of cinema , to facilitate the meeting in british columbia of cinema professionals from around the world , and to stimulate the motion picture industry in british columbia . in its 34th year , the vancouver international film festival welcomes the world to vancouver from september 24 - october 9 , 2015 as it showcases the top bc , canadian and international films and plays host to industry professionals from around the globe .\nstarring matthew mcconaughey and naomi watts , the film debuted in infamy at last year\u2019s cannes film festival , where it premiered to deafening boos . the sea of trees was the lowest - scoring cannes entry in over a decade , earning an abysmal 0 . 6 ( out of 4 ) from the screen jury ranking . those jeers echo loudly over its american release : the onetime awards season hopeful is hobbling into just a few theaters ahead of a planned vod debut . if there were any justice in the world , though , the film would have been chained to a radiator in a basement somewhere , trapped for eternity .\nit would have been one thing to settle for vapid sentimentality , but what makes the sea of trees so galling , as it turns the afterlife into a game of riddles , is how manipulative it is .\nproviding a strong sense of place is francois messier - rhealt \u2019s majestic widescreen cinematography , which includes impressive overhead shots and a lot of magic - hour backlighting of the rural locales in which the story unfolds . besides sketching the story of how a son becomes his own man , trees also shows how canada\u2019s already thinly populated provinces are transformed by the arrival of industrial mechanization and the departure of the land\u2019s sons to the big cities .\nthe sea of trees isn\u2019t just a bad film ; it should be an embarrassment to everyone involved in making it . the metaphysical weepie deals with sensitive subject matter \u2014 depression , suicide , and cancer \u2014 with the grace and subtlety of an atomic bomb , ending in a finale so painfully misjudged that it must be seen to be believed .\nthe filmography of an american master , from indy to the extra - terrestrial .\nthere may not be a genre with as limited a capacity to surprise a grown audience as the still - ubiquitous coming - of - age drama : while teenage kicks may switch from generation to generation , the process of self - realization they accompany remains universally constant . it\u2019s the subtler textures of environment and character , then , that distinguish entries like francois peloquin\u2019s debut feature , \u201cthe sound of trees , \u201d from the dewy - eyed dross . short and bittersweet , this portrait of a 17 - year - old trainee lumberjack seeking a life larger than his rural corner of quebec benefits from a close , compassionate view of its protagonist\u2019s community \u2014 including several adults who haven\u2019t yet found their own direction . balmily shot and dynamically anchored by proven young talent antoine l\u2019ecuyer , \u201ctrees\u201d will spread its branches amply on the festival circuit .\nthe film , which stars matt dillon as a serial killer , apparently features scenes in which women and children are mutilated . it premiered at cannes on monday and hundreds of people reportedly walked out .\nthe film is set in rural qu\u00e9bec , and tells the story of mildly rebellious 17 - year old j\u00e9r\u00e9mie ( antoine l ' equyer , a cute but emotionally vacant actor ) . j\u00e9r\u00e9mie works at this father ' s economically stressed saw mill ( the local forests are being destroyed by big industrial companies . ) honestly not much happens in the film . the boy has adventures , and subsidiary characters do strangely unexplained things . the script rambles along to its vague conclusion ; but i never got involved enough with the characters to care .\nviff gratefully acknowledges the generous support of our premier partners rogers communications and telefilm canada . viff also extends its thanks and appreciation to the city of vancouver , province of british columbia through the ministry of community , sport , and cultural development ' s community gaming grants program , as well as the government of canada through the department of canadian heritage ' s building communities through arts & heritage program .\nat 17 j\u00e9r\u00e9mie dreams of a life different from the one that awaits him at the family sawmill in the small canadian town where he lives .\nthe film\u2019s structure is a familiar one for van sant . his 2002 effort gerry is a noble experiment in non - narrative cinema , in which casey affleck and matt damon are trapped in the desert . the men journey toward a punishingly empty horizon in search of food , water , or rescue . the sea of trees marries the director\u2019s minimalist tendencies , likewise on display in his palme d\u2019or winner elephant , to the forced whimsy of his 2011 feature restless . in that wistful teen cancer romance , a young man spends his days hanging out with the ghost of a wwii kamikaze pilot , who is helping the young man come to terms with the death of his parents . he will learn to cherish life again when he meets a free - spirited young woman at a funeral he attended uninvited , a curiously unexplained hobby of his . the catch is , of course , that she has just months left to live .\nthe sea of trees , however , makes that film look like citizen kane . in an unnecessary series of flashbacks , it\u2019s revealed that arthur was once married to joan ( watts ) , from whom he became increasingly estranged over the course of their two - decade marriage . joan and arthur don\u2019t have problems . they have a collection of clich\u00e9s . the couple was once happy \u2014 that is , before arthur cheated with a co - worker . why did he do it ? arthur tells takumi he isn\u2019t sure , but that\u2019s because the screenplay by chris sparling ( buried ) doesn\u2019t seem to have thought too much about the answer .\nthis is quickly turning into an exceptional year for canadian coming - of - age titles with a strong sense of place : at cannes , andrew cividino \u2019s sleeping giant , set on lake ontario , was part of the critics\u2019 week lineup ; in munich , the superior german - canadian co - production coconut hero , set in a former mining town in rural ontario , premiered ; and now there\u2019s trees , set in bas - saint - laurent , the densely wooded , sparsely populated region of quebec just north of maine . the latter film premiered in karlovy vary , though oddly , despite being one of the strongest entries in competition , it went home empty -

wrote the screenplay with sarah levesque , here beautifully suggests character through action and helps to gently force the audience\u2019s perspective on the leads by carefully moving their elements into place . maya is never really seen , for example , until the night they have sex , though some days have passed since the start of the film . this initially suggests that jay doesn\u2019t care about her , an impression reinforced by the fact viewers won\u2019t even know her name until much later . but as she becomes a recurring character , she grows in importance and reveals information not only about herself but , through his complex reactions to her presence in his life , also about jay .\nat the age of 17 j\u00e9r\u00e9mie dreams of a different life from the one that awaits him at the family sawmill in the small rural canadian town where he lives . he\u2019s more interested in pimping his car , listening to hip hop , and slacking off with his friends . the relationship between j\u00e9r\u00e9mie and his father takes a turn for the worse when the boy\u2019s older brother gets married and moves away . this feature debut betrays something of the director\u2019s past life as a documentary filmmaker . with an eye for detail and a feel for the rural environment and its specific character , he offers an impressive work which , in thirty scenes , chronicles a teenager\u2019s summer , at the end of which j\u00e9r\u00e9mie will make a life - changing decision . this is a summer that will never be repeated . the quasi - impressionistic film is intriguing for its precise characterisation and for the authentic performances from antoine l\u2019\u00e9cuyer in the role of j\u00e9r\u00e9mie and roy dupuis as his father r\u00e9gis .\nreviewed at karlovy vary film festival ( competing ) , july 6 , 2015 . running time : 76 min . ( original title :\nle bruit des arbres\n)\nmcconaughey , though , appears to be sleepwalking through the picture\u2019s turgid , obvious dramatics \u2014 which are less \u201ckitchen sink\u201d than \u201crural outhouse . \u201d in mud and true detective , the native texan lends an understated gravity to his performances , playing damaged men haunted by what they\u2019ve seen . but in the sea of trees , mcconaughey is not wounded but petrified . when it\u2019s revealed that his wife has brain cancer , the actor looks like he just took a fistful of ambien . his scenes with watanabe are dull and listless , the two men heading down a path to nowhere .\nwhen devastating events occur , p\u00e9loquin seems to regard them as the natural and naturally crippling effect of proverbially flying too close to the sun , but seems weirdly oblivious to any role they might play aside from ways to make his characters and viewers suffer . when i hadn\u2019t quite gotten a handle on the film yet , i thought that an early , horrific moment might reveal something about j\u00e9r\u00e9mie\u2026 but then everyone in the movie proceeds to act as if nothing happened , and that weird inconsequentiality does not appear to have been part of any kind of intentional gesture on p\u00e9loquin\u2019s part .\nl\u2019ecuyer , who first made a youthful impact in the 2008 festival charmer \u201cit\u2019s not me , i swear ! , \u201d plays jeremie beautifully , etching brief , involuntary flashes of boyish desperation amid the character\u2019s swaggering pride and petulance . he\u2019s perfectly matched by canadian film veteran dupuis , tender - tough but wry - humored as a father whose sturdy foundations might not bear his children\u2019s closest scrutiny .\nwith his baseball cap on backwards , fake diamond studs in his ears , pitiful attempt at facial hair and his passion for fast cars and urban , \u201cpost - rap\u201d hip hop ( including montreal - based group dead obies ) , jay may look and act like countless other 17 - year - olds . but jeremie\u2019s journey toward adulthood is his alone thanks to a strong screenplay , relatively light on narrative momentum but that constantly translates actions into character insight , and to a towering , apparently effortless performance from the magnetic l\u2019ecuyer . though dupuis is terrific , this is really the young actor\u2019s film . when he hits the road in one of the film\u2019s last shots , he\u2019s clearly not the boy from that opening steadicam shot anymore . instead , he\u2019s become a young man .\n17 year - old j\u00e9r\u00e9mie ( antoine l\u2019\u00e9cuyer ) dreams of a better life , away from the family sawmill and his native village in gasp\u00e9sie , qu\u00e9bec . instead of the forestry work , j\u00e9r\u00e9mie prefers hip hop music , pimping his car and slacking off with his friends . the situation despairs his father r\u00e9gis ( roy dupuis ) , who blames this disinterest on a local drug dealer . when the elder brother leaves town , the lives of j\u00e9r\u00e9mie and r\u00e9gis drastically change .\n\u00a9 copyright 2018 variety media , llc , a subsidiary of penske business media , llc . variety and the flying v logos are trademarks of variety media , llc . powered by urltoken vip\n17 year - old j\u00e9r\u00e9mie ( antoine l ' \u00e9cuyer ) dreams of a better life , away from the family sawmill and his native village in gasp\u00e9sie , qu\u00e9bec . instead of the forestry work , j\u00e9r\u00e9mie prefers hip . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthere may not be a genre with as limited a capacity to surprise a grown audience as the still - ubiquitous coming - of - age drama : while teenage kicks may switch from generation to generation , the process of self - realization they accompany remains universally constant . it\u2019s the subtler textures of environment and character , then , that distinguish entries like francois peloquin\u2019s debut [ \u2026 ]\nyet another coming - of - age summer story , but francois peloquin ' s touching , accomplished debut succeeds in the details .\nmcconaughey plays arthur brennan , an adjunct college professor who travels to japan to end his life . after he googles \u201cthe perfect place to die\u201d on his laptop ( seriously ) , arthur learns of a large wooded area located near mt . fuji where people from all over the world travel to commit suicide . known as the aokigahara forest , the spot was also featured in this past january\u2019s horror release the forest .\npeloquin\u2019s lean but flavorful script , co - written with sarah levesque , resolves these collected tensions \u2014 or leaves them to fester \u2014 in much the manner you\u2019d expect , but the characters\u2019 modest triumphs and occasionally devastating setbacks are touching all the same . ( it helps that a trio of editors have pruned proceedings to a running time of 76 minutes , ideal for the pic\u2019s ambitions and outlook . ) there\u2019s a palpable sense here of the spirit of concern , edging into oppressive neighborly judgment , that binds tight populations like this one ; it\u2019s as easy to see how our bright but under - stimulated hero is a product of this community as it is to sympathize with his desire to flee .\nthe devout ( dir . connor gaston ) $ 7 , 500 cash prize sponsored by the union of bc performers and actra fraternal benefits society + $ 10 , 000 equipment credit supplied by william f . white\nfor his part , jeremie appears to have devoted less thought to what he does want to do with his life than what he emphatically doesn\u2019t . he\u2019s keen on french hip - hop and fast engines , while his derivative dress sense ( snapbacks and baggy jeans , with gleaming studs in his ears ) acts as an urban - reaching retort to his country surroundings . ( it\u2019s also just a couple of years off - trend , as it probably would be so many miles out from the cities of his dreams ; the film is strong on such tacitly observed details . ) jeremie lives on the family sawmill with his father , regis ( roy dupuis ) , and his older brother ; when the latter leaves town with his new bride , the teenager\u2019s wanderlust grows ever more impatient . the boys\u2019 mother is not in evidence : whether she passed away or succumbed to similarly restless urges is left for the audience to ponder .\nat 17 j\u00e9r\u00e9mie dreams of a life different from the one that awaits him at the family sawmill in the small canadian town where he lives . j\u00e9r\u00e9mie is more interested in pimping his car , listening to hip hop , and slacking off with his friends . this impressionistic debut , built upon convincing performances , tells of a summer that completely changed a teenager\u2019s life .\nfollowing the affair , joan begins having a drink after work every day , and her portion size is the entire bottle . arthur describes his ex - wife as a \u201chigh - functioning alcoholic , \u201d which means that she\u2019s lucid enough to constantly remind her husband of his shortcomings , even in front of his friends . in the grand tradition of cinema\u2019s \u201cbitch wives , \u201d joan has two modes : nag and nag . watts brings a furious intensity to the role , but it\u2019s wasted on such a one - dimensional character .\nwhen not helping out in the mill , jeremie spends his free time burning rubber , getting high and goofing around with childhood friends francis ( remi goulet ) and p . o . ( charles - emile lafleur ) . though it\u2019s increasingly evident \u2014 first to the viewer , though gradually to jeremie himself \u2014 that he\u2019s outgrowing their company , he\u2019s not yet mature enough to sustain a serious relationship with sometime g . f . maya ( a winning willia ferland - tanguay ) . caught in limbo between putting away childish things and accepting the burden of adulthood , the lad whiles away a long , hot summer \u2014 as if any other kind exists in this genre \u2014 waiting for a sign as to his next move . when it comes , it\u2019s arguably via the actions and crises of his elders : regis views the future of the family business with a skepticism that matches his son\u2019s , while a spirit of mobilized animosity toward the kids\u2019 local drug dealer surges hotly across the village .\nsiff ' s mission is to create experiences that bring people together to discover extraordinary films from around the world . it is through the art of cinema that we foster a community that is more informed , aware , and alive .\nbut adolescence and , more generally , emancipation are of course impossible without change , which in turn provides drama . with jeremie\u2019s older brother marrying and leaving home and the family business , and their father receiving a takeover bid for his mill , which has reliable but not exactly state - of - the - art equipment , it slowly starts to dawn on the protagonist that the only certainty about his future might be that , whatever happens , nothing will be like it was before .\nthese are the ones that terrify us in ways we never quite get over .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nwithout getting too intellectual , suffice it to say that in order to mature , jay needs to experience not only eros but also thanatos , or death . a scene involving the family dog teaches father and son something about responsibility . though it\u2019s played with a salty kind of matter - of - factness that\u2019s linked to their rural reality and completely avoids melodrama , the scene is nonetheless heart - wrenching . it also foreshadows a ghastly discovery in the dairy barn of francis\u2019s family , a subplot that\u2019s somewhat disorientingly introduced by a temporary shift in perspective to a peripheral adult character but that lands on its feet with an impressive closeup of jeremie\u2019s face as he stumbles backwards and manages to steady himself on a bale of hay , eyes wide open in horror .\nwithout being exactly overemphatic , p\u00e9loquin evinces way too much comfort with simply enacting coming - of - age clich\u00e9s . his protag j\u00e9r\u00e9mie clumsily overasserts his masculinity like any teenager\u2026 with emphasis on the \u201clike any teenager\u201d part , because his psychology is ultimately fairly meaningless with regards to the directions his story takes .\nthere ' s a sense that his father expects him to take over the business , but it\u2019s not immediately clear to jay what he wants for himself either professionally or even in general . his ambiguous relationship with maya ( willia ferland - tanguay ) , suggests as much . after a nighttime dare involving a high bridge and practically no clothes , he kisses the girl full on the mouth and they stumble into the undergrowth to have sex . he explains to someone they were just flirting but it later emerges they \u201cbroke up , \u201d even though apparently they \u201cnever were together . \u201d whatever the truth , a terrific scene with her alone on the steps of a rural store not only uncovers jay\u2019s tender side but also suggests to what extent he takes after his outwardly rough but also sincere and loving father . and whatever the teens\u2019 relationship status might be , any boy that\u2019s as territorial as jay is about maya clearly feels something for her .\nsleeping giant ( dir . andrew cividino ) $ 10 , 000 cash prize sponsored by directors guild of canada ( bc district counsel )\nfollowing joan\u2019s passing , arthur goes to aokigahara looking to absolve his guilt , but he finds the closure he seeks from a companion who may be more than what he seems . he feels like he never knew his wife \u2014 because he didn\u2019t know what her favorite book , favorite color , or favorite season were . this information , however , will be delivered to him from beyond the grave in an out - of - left - field twist that would put m . night shyamalan to shame .\nproduction : ( canada ) an alpha violet , k - films amerique presentation of a couzin films production .

lgbt teachers .\nin the 1960s , he reclaimed the name max showalter and continued to work steadily , appearing such films as 1964 ' s\nsex and the single girl ,\n1965 ' s\nhow to murder your wife\nand the 1966 cult classic\nlord love a duck . in later years , you could have spotted him in the crowd of the 1978 disaster\nsgt . pepper ' s lonely hearts club band .\nhis final film was 1984 ' s\nracing with the moon ,\nthough he is perhaps better remembered as grandpa fred in\nsixteen candles ,\nmade the same year .\na few weeks ago , my husband stuart and i traveled to the \u201cwest coast\u201d of michigan , first to saugatuck , where we had a lovely visit on a rainy day to the wickwood inn , and then to holland , where stuart explored the downtown and i visited max depree , the man who has been my mentor for more than a decade .\nduring the 1950s , showalter appeared in television shows like the loretta young show and navy log , in addition to films like vicki ( 1953 ) , down three dark streets ( 1954 ) , naked alibi ( 1954 ) , and indestructible man ( 1956 ) .\nthose books contain personal stories from his years of leading the herman miller furniture company , his family life , and his service on nonprofit boards . they exude a rare combination : confidence , authority , humility , and accountability . max lives his philosophy of leadership , best exemplified by the title of this book : leading without power : finding hope in serving community . max has been generous with his time . he was the first mentor in my life to ask me the kind of questions i described in my last post : personal , ambiguous , and anxiety - producing . i look forward to our infrequent one - on - one meetings because i will inevitably be surprised by one of his questions and ponder them long afterward .\nafter his teammates saw the video , they were all supportive . showalter said one of the best responses came from purdue men\u2019s swimming and diving head coach dan ross , who told him , \u201cthank you for posting that video and having the courage to do that . \u201d\nesposto coaches the duke university men\u2019s and women\u2019s divers in addition to the young club divers . despite multiple jobs , he tried to make time for showalter , who didn\u2019t have his family in north carolina . their personalities clicked , so it wasn\u2019t hard to form a connection .\nso when field got the script to hello , my name is doris , she grabbed onto it with both hands . the romantic comedy stars field as doris miller , a reclusive new yorker whose tendency to collect junk , dress in clothes she\u2019s had since the \u201970s , and misunderstand social cues makes her the unexpected hit of the brooklyn hipster set\u2013a trait that comes in handy as she develops a serious crush on a much - younger coworker ( played by max greenfield ) . the script , written by michael showalter ( who also directed ) and laura terruso , is based on a short by terruso , and while it\u2019s not afraid to use some of the weird humor that showalter is known for with his the state / stella / wet hot american colleagues , it\u2019s also a grounded look at age , aging , missed opportunities , and the way that\u2013in some ways\u2013people never stop feeling like teenagers , no matter how old they are .\n\u201ci identify with this character , \u201d showalter says . \u201ci really root for her , and it was so important to me that we laugh along with this movie , but that we don\u2019t laugh at her . we really need to root for her . it\u2019s very important . \u201d\n\u201che was a pretty shy kid , \u201d said justin white , a swimmer at fenwick two years older than showalter and currently a senior on the lehigh university swimming team . \u201cthen his sophomore year , he gained a lot of confidence on the board and with the team . \u201d\neven during this preliminary phase , edwards seems to take two dumb steps for every smart one . the prevailing southern california ambience is very promising : warm and luxurious , a potentially disarming setting for haywire upper middle - class behavior . wonderful supporting players keep circulating through the action , notably max showalter as the minister , a hearty , flannel - mouthed good soul who turns out to be an aspiring songwriter and treats us to a perfectly swell composition , a dizzy classic of mixed metaphors called\ni ' ve got an ear for love .\n( his theoretically awful song is actually better than the others henry mancini and robert wells composed for the film . )\nafter starring in wet hot american summer as the beleaguered coop , ( but before returning as a slightly younger version of coop in first day of camp ) , michael showalter got to work on the baxter , his feature directorial debut . the would - be cult comedy kept its focus on a very specific trope : the poor schlub who gets left at the altar when the more charming rom - com lead butts in . his second feature , hello , my name is doris , similarly has some fun with a cinematic convention , asking , \u201cwhat happens when a manic pixie dream girl grows up ? \u201d sally field stars as the titular mpdg , a quirky spinster who falls head - over - heels for her much younger co - worker ( max greenfield ) . as expected , showalter surrounds this fledgling may - december romance with a bunch of familiar funny faces , including wendi mclendon - covey , stephen root , kumail nanjiani , and more .\nby the time we make it up there , i am so flustered and freaked out , i turn into molly midwest and thank them for coming like it\u2019s a church picnic and not a popular comedy venue in a major city . i look only at black . never at showalter .\nrather than write his memoirs , showalter first delivered his biography in 1997 the form he knew best : the theater . he performed it throughout the state - - the eugene o ' neill theater , in waterford , the goodspeed opera house , and the white barn , in westport .\n\u201cafter i came out , i was ballsy , \u201d said showalter , currently a sophomore men\u2019s diver at purdue university . \u201ci don\u2019t know what came over me . i was like , \u2018yeah , i\u2019m out . i\u2019m super cool . look at me , i have all this confidence . \u2019\u201d\nbut feuerstein does go way back with the series\u2019 creators . he and wet hot co - creator michael showalter spent a summer together during their college years\u2014not at camp , mind you , but doing a play called run for your wife at princeton , where showalter\u2019s mom , elaine , was feuerstein\u2019s professor . \u201ci\u2019ll never forget hanging out in princeton with michael ian black and ken marino \u2014none of them would remember it\u2014and joe lo truglio and david wain , \u201d feuerstein says . \u201cthey were just this foreign , incredibly cool group to me , but luckily michael and i stayed in touch . \u201d"]}

blowing . it seems they are just out of the oven . \u201d\nthe first look of great grand masti starring riteish deshmukh , aftab shivdasani and vivek oberoi was released on thursday ( june 16 ) . the trailer will be released later today .\nwhat started a while ago between bhushan kumar ' s t -

govinda combination at their best and you will know what i mean . indra kumar\u2019s great grand masti though , is too lazy to cash in on the comic timing of at least two actors in the cast\ncomedy works best when actors play characters and funny things happen to them or around them . but in the masti series , which blends in with the kyaa kool hain hums and mastizaades , every character ( there\u2019s also sanjay mishra as antakshari baba and usha nadkarni as amar\u2019s screechy harridan of a mother - in - law ) reacts with bouts of kinetic twitching and gravity - defying face contortions . thankfully , the three wives , played by shraddha das , mishti and pooja bose , remain rather calm throughout despite the hysteria , stupidity and lecherous behaviour surrounding them .\nif the 2015 bollywood film detective byomkesh bakshy ! is taken into account , the number of films in the franchisee will increase by one and the franchisee must , then , be counted under bilingual or multi -

hopping men while placing promiscuous women in the dock and has barely acknowledged the existence of homosexual women in this world . surprise surprise , this particular scene is not tasteless . it proves that kumar possesses a quality not very common among humourists : the ability to crack jokes about a marginalised group without being condescending , to laugh with people rather than at them .\nnow , enjoy reading urltoken on your android smartphone . download the free app right here .\nsanju : in real life kamli didn\u2019t meet sanjay dutt in a . . .\nsanju box office : scores a huge 2nd weekend ; it\u2019s amongst top -

\u201d is her opening line \u2013 is greatly missed . while the film is no comedy , it comes close to one whenever cannon is onscreen , vowing to sleep with all her friend\u2019s wives and rate them in bed . and it\u2019s not the last time cannon gives a peerless comic performance in a non - comedy .\nin september 2013 , legacy recordings will release to all the girls\u2026 , a collection of newly recorded duets between willie nelson and a dream list of contemporary pop - country women singers including dolly parton , mavis staples , sheryl crow , loretta lynn , wynonna judd , rosanne cash , alison krauss , miranda lambert , tina rose , carrie underwood , emmylou harris , norah jones , secret sisters , brandi carlile , lily meola , shelby lynne , melonie cannon and paula nelson .\nregarded as one of the greatest pianists in the history of jazz music , fats waller was a singer , musician and entertainer of exceptional forte . his amazingly light and flexible touch belies his physical simplicity . waller initiated the use of pipe organ and hammond organ in jazz . calling the pipe organ as the \u2018god box\u2019 , he created a world of joy for the music lovers . that is one of the reasons why he is hailed as a genius even years after his death . as an improviser and composer , there were very rare occasions when his invention flagged , adding paradoxically winsome songs like\nhoneysuckle rose\n,\nain ' t misbehavin\u201d ,\nkeepin ' out of mischief now\n,\nblue turning grey over you\nand the extraordinary\njitterbug waltz\nto the jazz inventory . however , in spite of his exuberance and talent , he is best remembered for his comic personality . explore more on this musician\u2019s life in this biography below .\nthe film got oscar nominated receiving an academy award nomination for best music - original song for willie nelson ' s ballad\non the road again\n, the title of which is also one of the movie ' s aka titles . nelson ' s nom for this tune to date [ june 2013 ] still remains nelson ' s only ever oscar nomination .\nof all the popular singers who have become movie stars ( e . g . , frank sinatra , elvis presley , cher ) , the unlikeliest of all is probably willie nelson . a long - haired , pot - smoking country singer with a music career stretching back to the mid - 1950s , nelson made his film debut in a supporting role opposite robert redford and jane fonda in\nnelson demonstrates a commanding onscreen presence in the film ( his second feature , and first starring role ) and even though his character lets little willie do the thinking of big willie , buck bonham is a sympathetic figure ( the filmmakers also resist the temptation to whitewash what buck has done , instead allowing the audience decide if nelson\u2019s charisma is sufficient absolution for the sins in his marriage ) .\ni remember playing the hell out of the soundtrack and seeing this twice in the theatre . weirdly , i ' ve never seen it since ( the summer of 1980 , when i was 12 , had me going to see pretty much everything that was out , and many two or three times ) . my dad loved the urban cowboy film and soundtrack , and played it in his store for months afterward .\nplease note that when our allotment of advance tickets has sold out online , we will have approximately 100 tickets available for purchase at the box office on the day of the event on a first come , first served basis . for shows that have sold out online , our box office and doors open roughly one hour before the first film . for shows that have sold out online , in person ticket purchases are limited to 2 tickets per person .\n( 2007\u20132009 ) . after nearly 40 years of films , television , and theatrical performances , scarwid ' s career has slowed in the past few years , but film and television viewers are almost certain to see more of her excellent work in the future . on a personal note , diana scarwid married dr . eric scheinbart on her 23rd birthday , in 1978 . the couple , whose son and daughter were born in the 1980s , parted company in the mid 1990s .\none of nelson\u2019s many creative high - water marks and his first real commercial breakthrough came with the red headed stranger . this 1975 concept album was recorded in a small texas studio on a shoestring budget . some of the executives at columbia records , nelson\u2019s label at this time , balked at releasing it . ( its raw minimalism , to them , suggested a mere demo record . ) yet it ultimately became the first of many million sellers nelson would enjoy during the 1970s . from it also came nelson\u2019s first # 1 single , \u201cblue eyes crying in the rain , \u201d ironically not a song written by nelson but an ethereal version of a 1945 fred rose composition .\nif there ' s an edge of disappointment coming out of the movie , maybe it ' s inspired by that simplicity of approach to complicated problems . willie nelson has lived a long time , experienced a lot and suffered a certain amount on his way to his current success , and my hunch is that he knows a lot more about his character ' s problems in this movie than he lets on . maybe the idea was to film the legend and save the man for later .\nreportedly , the character buck bonham that willie nelson played is considered to have borne more than a passing similarity to the actual willie nelson the person in real life . this duality was also displayed in nelson ' s character buck bonham ' s life experience in the film ' s story . this is reflected in the movie ' s tagline that states :\nfor 20 years , he ' s been singing to the country . but he never figured he ' d be living his own love songs .\n.\nin the year 1943 , he starred in the film \u2018stormy weather\u2019 . in december , in the same year , while playing the zanzibar room in hollywood , he suffered a bout of influenza . this forced him to cut all his engagements in order to return home . his health suffered badly due to excessive drinking , over work and obesity and influenza added to the complications . on december 15 , 1943 , while travelling in a train back to new york , thomas fats waller passed away near kansas city , at the age of 39 of pneumonia .\ni recently revisited a film i had once greatly enjoyed but hadn\u2019t seen since its original release in 1978 \u2013 heaven can wait \u2013 and was prepared for the worst . it didn\u2019t seem like the sort of movie that would wear well over the years and it certainly wasn\u2019t very original to begin with . after all , it was a remake of 1941\u2019s here come mr . jordan , which falls into that overexposed fantasy genre of spirits or ghosts aiding and complicating the lives of the living as in topper or ghost or all of me or angel on my shoulder and on and on . i\u2019ll dispense with any plot description since you\u2019ve probably seen it or can find a more detailed synopsis elsewhere but i was pleasantly surprised by a second viewing .\ndespite the completely absurd premise , screenwriters elaine may and warren beatty ( with uncredited contributions from robert towne ) have fun with it , throwing in some wicked black comedy and anti - corporation satire to balance the fantasy elements and the warm romance at the film\u2019s center with beatty and julie christie at their most appealing ( except for the bad \u201970s hair day ) . but what really stands out is a scene stealing performance by dyan cannon as beatty\u2019s gleefully venal wife who attempts repeatedly , with the help of her spineless lover charles grodin , to kill beatty for his millions . each failed attempt makes her increasingly hysterical and manic and it\u2019s as much fun to watch as edgar kennedy\u2019s slow burn in duck soup where he dishes out and endures abuse from harpo and chico marx .\napparently you missed boynton beach club when it was released in 2006 . comments on it would have made a perfect ending for your piece . it ' s not a gem but it ' s not bad . dyan stars , along with brenda vacarro , len cariou and sally kellerman , among others . the director was susan seidelman . don ' t be too hard on yourself for missing it . it wasn ' t in release long . i saw it at a pittsburgh multi - plex , where it played for a week . the subject is the social life and romantic entanglements of a group of senior citizens , some who are mourning the loss of loved ones . dyan encounters the perfect man , until she finds out the horrible secret he kept from her . i ' ll let you watch the film to learn what this secret is . don ' t worry . it ' s not that bad . i always liked her in whatever movie she was featured . you ' re right . she was good in\ndoctors ' wives\nand\nthe last of sheila .\ni never cared much for\nheaven can wait .\nit is far inferior to the classic\nhere comes mr . jordan .\ni ' m not impressed by all the talent involved . i still don ' t like it . avoid\nsuch good friends .\ni saw it when it came out and all i remember was it was terrible . incidentally , as far as i know , cary grant and dyan cannon never worked together . when i try to imagine such a screen pairing , it seems to me that they would not have much chemistry together .\nyou accept cookies being used and saved on your device , notably for promotional and / or advertising purposes , within the limits of our privacy protection policy .\nbasically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley\u2019s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . \u2026\nroger ebert ' s speech on empathy for the\n11th hour\nseries on april 9th , 1994 , being republished here in honor of his birthday june 18 .\nroger ebert was born on this day in 1942 , and died a little over five years ago . i owe a good part of my success\u2026\na look back at robert zemeckis ' half - animated classic , who framed roger rabbit , on its 30 - year anniversary .\nshe is a shapely young lady who has had a crush on the singer since she was knee high to a grasshopper . once they go out on the road again , the singer and the best friend ' s daughter start sleeping with one another . this situation causes anguish for the singer , the daughter , the best friend , the wife , the son and the band . but after going down to mexico to slug back some tequila and think it over , the singer returns to his wife and the best friend ' s daughter wisely observes :\nanythang that hurts this many people can ' t be right .\nthe movie also surrounds nelson with an interesting cast : dyan cannon is wonderful as willie ' s long - suffering wife , a sexy 40ish earth - woman with streaked hair and a wardrobe from l . l . bean . she survives the test of her big scene , an archetypal c & w confrontation in which she charges onstage to denounce her husband and his new girlfriend .\namy irving is not quite so well cast as the girlfriend ; she has too many scenes in which she gazes adoringly at willie - who , on the other hand , hardly ever gazes adoringly at her . slim pickens , who should be registered as a national historical place , is great as the best friend . and there is a hilarious bit part , a fatuous country singer , played by ( it says here ) mickey rooney jr .\nmercifully , the movie doesn ' t drag out its tale of heartbreak into a c & w soap opera . instead , director jerry schatzberg (\nscarecrow\n) uses an easy - going documentary style to show us life on the band bus , at a family reunion , and backstage at big concerts . all of these scenes are filled to overflowing with colors ; this is one of the cheeriest , brightest looking movies i ' ve ever seen , starting with willie ' s own amazing costumes and including the spectrum at the concerts , reunions , picnics , etc . half the movie seems to be shot during parties , and although we enjoy the texture and detail we sometimes wonder why so little seems to be happening .\nan interview with terry gilliam , director of\nthe man who killed don quixote .\nthe ebert club is our hand -

blowing , depicting the pointlessness and cruelty of war like only the opening of saving private ryan managed so far . from there , we follow the beginnings of a love story in flash backs while law is trying to make his way back to kidman from war . the people he encounters and situations he has to endure are incredibly dire and pessimistic , leaving little space for hope . the film is very beautifully shot and the story is engaging even through some slower parts . whether you like the ending or not is for each to decide , i suppose .\nthe audience creates an additional , parallel , soundtrack , with collective gasps , sighs of relief and , when the feats of daring verge on implausible , incredulous laughter ( footage of the mountain biker danny macaskill on scotland\u2019s cuillin ridgeline has everyone guffawing ) .\npeedom begins the film in black - and - white , with the members of the australian chamber orchestra limbering up at the sydney opera house , where mountain premiered last week . that ' s the last we see of them , with editors christian gazal ( sherpa ) and scott gray ( top of the lake ) cutting to elevation before a string is plucked . in a queasily transporting sequence that had the sydney audience holding its collective breath , the camera swoops in on a free climber ( without ropes ) scaling up a sheer cliff face , and our proximity to him is vertigo - inducing .\ndespite being 91 , jack\u2019s memory of life behind barbed wire is vivid . he was a young man when he was sent to cody , wy . having just tied the knot , he jokes that they honeymooned at heart mountain . he\u2019s the father of darrell and dale .\nthe film ' s fragments are held together by the score , which sometimes works in interesting counterpoint to the images , undercutting awe with horror . the aco collaborated with jonny greenwood a couple of years ago but largely resist ambient atmospherics here , favoring violin , piano , cello and vocals with a composite score that burnishes images of extreme risk - taking without sacrificing delicacy .\nwhere sherpa \u2013 peedom\u2019s bafta award - nominated 2015 documentary \u2013 was a critique of the everest industry in which local guides take disproportionate risks for wealthy and thrill -

time feature writer - director weaves a complex portrait of a constrained life , [ \u2026 ]\nrenan ozturk , the high - altitude cinematographer who worked on sherpa , is back behind the camera , with his footage making up more than 60 % of the final cut . the archive of the canadian production house sherpas cinema is also mined , with the end result providing astonishing vision of mountaineers , ice climbers , free soloists , speedflyers , heliskiers , snowboarders , wingsuiters and parachuting mountain bikers .\nmountain briefly revisits territory trodden by sherpa , with footage of hundreds of climbers in a cold -

man ; a lone hiker\u2019s fist punctures the sky upon arrival at a summit ; a stranded australian climber whimpers , \u201coh god , take me home . \u201d\n\u201cmountain\u201d constantly upends expectation , turning tzvia into an ever - more intriguing character without the pretense of getting inside her head and making her all - knowable . since she\u2019s a religious woman , it\u2019s presumed that the tome she silently reads from in the cemetery is a prayer book : instead , it\u2019s poetry written by a woman buried there . her fascination with the prostitutes and their work may seem unusual for an orthodox woman , but kayam is specifically forcing auds to question such assumptions : why is it unusual for a woman , any woman , to be interested in sex ?\na small turkish army squad are left to guard a field antenna on a border mountain . it suddenly falls to an ambush from isis . it ' s a heroic story of two soldiers trapped in the ambush , fighting for their lives . there ' s an interesting and humorous interplay between an educated , wealthy young man , the other a coarse street smart ruffian . in a series of backstory flashbacks we learn more about their lives and their digs . the protagonist is very reminiscent of the young ' taylor ' from the oscar winning epic , platoon . they put aside their differences and learn to trust each other to try and survive an unforgiving situation . the landscape is beautiful and tension is moderate as we await their pickup .\nklein has an open , kindhearted face that effortlessly conveys sympathy of character ; it\u2019s impossible not to like her , especially when itay marom\u2019s camera casts her in a naturally golden glow . subtle shifts in lighting , from warm to a cooler white , effectively capture changes in mood , and the sense of place is expertly caught in both lensing and art direction . from the view of al - aqsa mosque ( the temple mount ) through the kitchen window , to her daily awakening by the sound of the muezzin\u2019s call , the pic ensures that viewers are reminded of where they are , in a no man\u2019s land ( or rather , a dead man\u2019s land ) caught between multiple religions . equally palpable , via such images as a striking nighttime shot of tzvia holding a flashlight and walking up the tomb - filled hillside , to the cavern - like interiors of the family home , \u201cmountain\u201d conveys the sense of a living woman entombed .\na vast cemetery on the slopes of the mount of olives is the striking setting for yaelle kayam\u2019s subtle , handsome debut feature .\nher name is tzvia ( klein ) , or at least that\u2019s what she tells a drunken prostitute one night , well into the drama \u2014 otherwise , no one ever utters her name . she\u2019s mother of four , wife to yeshiva teacher reuven ( avshalom pollak ) , and she spends her days with housework in their home surrounded by the ancient cemetery spread out over the mount of olives . a devout woman with her head always covered , tzvia is starved for adult company , since reuven\u2019s job often keeps him away until past dinner time .\ntwo hasidic women ring her bell after a funeral , asking if they can use her bathroom ; their brief conversation allows the script to quickly convey background information in an organic way without coming across as didactic . clearly tzvia would like to move from this isolating locale and be a part of a community , but reuven\u2019s job is earning him ever - increasing recognition , and besides , he\u2019s not paying attention to his wife\u2019s needs on any level . pushing their beds together doesn\u2019t help , and about the only time she sees him now is when he\u2019s performing early morning prayers .\nfrustrated by the lack of company and tired of largely being cooped up inside all day , she strolls the cemetery ; one night she sees a prostitute servicing a client . another evening she takes a pair of binoculars and realizes there\u2019s quite a business going on at one end , with several pimps overseeing a few alcoholic whores . when she\u2019s discovered , the pimps rough her up , but the next night she brings them food \u2014 it\u2019s a bizarre arrangement for everyone , yet they maintain a wary silence , allowing her to sit by and observe .\noutside her family , the only regular human contact she has is with abed ( haitham ibrahem omari ) , the palestinian caretaker of the cemetery . he\u2019s consistently courteous and respectful , while she\u2019s self - conscious not only because he\u2019s a man but also ( it\u2019s implied ) because he\u2019s palestinian . he opens up to her at one moment about his own loveless marriage , yet she\u2019s unable to consider him a kindred spirit . it\u2019s easier , perhaps , to risk a hesitant association with a drunken prostitute , even though she\u2019s humiliated by her .\nproduction : ( israel -

dead husband , suggesting she is carrying a weight of nostalgia that needs to be left somewhere along the road . but the script does little with the theme and lundgren ' s execution is clumsy , failing to support what is clearly meant to be a showcase role for knight .\nafter world war ii , film noir came along with its jaded protagonists trying to survive in a dark world . black road was inspired by a similar kind of desperation . for too many in this country , the american dream is an oasis that fades away as we race towards it . as an ex -

long journey , marie discovers she needs the help of strangers , including a kindly sheriff ( barret o\u2019brien ) , a kindly crafts shop owner ( skerritt ) and a kindly barmaid ( michelle lombardo ) . luckily , most of those she meets are fairly well versed in medicine .\nthe plot is predictable and ill formed , even as traveling with marie is a delight . and the second unit certainly makes the most of her journey , highlighting the autumnal glory of the titular oregon landscape and the rugged beauty of the pacific coast .\nknight manages to run the gamut of marie\u2019s emotions , often with the slightest of changes in expression : the momentary hurt of being old and invisible to the young ; the frustration at needing the help of others ; the joy of her surroundings ; the realization of her greatest mistake and of her chance for deliverance . skerritt is a calming influence in a role he can play practically in his sleep ( and the sculptures in his crafts shop , credited to kevin christman , are pretty cool ) . lombardo ( \u201ccalifornication\u201d ) , in a less vampy part , is luminous just the same . as the lone unsavory character marie meets , sam daly is quickly dispatched to allow for more walking .\nreviewed online , los angeles , april 14 , 2014 . mpaa rating : pg -

consuming to visit her , marie walked daily keeping her strength and endurance up , trying to take her mind off where she was stabled . her granddaughter is to wed an older man in the brookings , oregon area and marie was a tad ticked off . . . . in apology and spite this incredible and spirited woman ties up those hiking boots ( keen , more than likely ) and takes off on an 80 mile glorious scenic journey of the oregon coast , new friendships , and beautiful haunting memories ~ grand movie for all ages of maturity !\nthis was a feel good movie that was a light and easy way to spend an evening . the plot is pretty simple , and a lot of it is left up to your imagination of what is going on in her thoughts and what exactly is happening with the visions of ' thomas , ' who i believe was her husband that had passed on many years ago . the story was uplifting to see all the good people she meets along the way - and it was great the way she dealt the the scary meth head druggie guy that was trying to rob her ! i can see the allure of a long walk to help you think about life , especially since marie ' s has changed so much in recent years with her being moved from her hometown to the retirement community ( which most of us would happily move into with the pool , breakfast buffet , fireplaces in the rooms , and hot tub ! ) overall , it was a nice movie that was clean and entertaining . while it would be safe for the whole family , i think the movie is more aimed toward adults , as some of the issues are deep and i am not sure a child would really understand . the movie also had a lot of beautiful scenery of oregon , so that ' s a plus as well ."]}

beats . the blind dead have awakened from their graves !\nthere ' s also a ten minute interview with the director titled\nunearthing the blind dead\n, which is prefaced by a disclaimer about the poor sound quality . since the interview is in spanish and is helpfully subtitled , that ' s really not a concern . he discusses the course of his career , the economics of having to shoot a movie in 4 weeks , each of the blind dead movies ( going into the most detail for\nthe\nblind dead\nseries are among the best and most famous spanish horror films of their time . they are surprisingly well - made , and in spite of some major shortcomings , have aged better than many of the other spanish movies of the period . the best feature of the films is their title menace : the blind dead , withered cadavers which rise from their graves to drink the blood of their victims . part zombie and part vampire , they are brought to un - life by a combination of very convincing costumes and puppetry . unlike other movie monsters , particularly monsters that travel in groups , the blind dead never seem to be merely extras in suits . they look\nit\u2019s while they\u2019re making short work of our main characters that we see the first sign of the blind dead actually being\u2026 well\u2026 blind . they enter into a room and only realize a potential victim is there when she screams at the top of her lungs . we also see them locate a smarter victim by tracking her heartbeat .\n' the tombs of the blind dead ' is not strictly a zombie movie , but involves the resurrected dead ( in this case blind heretics from the 13th century ) . while not as explicit as romero or fulci it should appeal to fans of the living dead genre . the movie is strong on atmosphere and style , similar in some ways to jean rollin , but without the sex or pretension . the\nblind dead\nthemselves are one of the creepiest and most effective concepts in any horror movie . slow moving , relentless and deadly , with a penchant for flesh eating . the scenes where the dead ride horses to hunt their prey are classic horror . my only small criticism of this movie is that there were so few scenes of them . modern horror fans who require wall to wall fx and a killing every 15 minutes will probably find this slow going , but true buffs will be mesmerized . highly recommended .\nawkward lovers -

life order that was dissolved in the 14th century following charges of witchcraft and heresy ) leave their tombs at night and come back from the dead as revenants . the reanimated corpses are blind , because their eyes were pecked out by birds while their hanged bodies rotted on the gallows .\nwhile nearly all of the italian zombie films were one shade of awful or another , tombs is a good film , even a great one : one of the highlights of 1970s spanish cinema and among the very best examples of its oft - indefensible genre .\n- - a fairly lengthy examination of the blind dead movies and the story of the knights templar - - can also be found inside the coffin - shaped box . a large number of black and white stills are interspersed throughout the forty - page booklet along with burrell ' s detailed synopses and reviews .\nthis film has it all ! pervy templar knights killed for dodgy acts return as the blind dead , who unsurprisingly hunt by sound . the best thing is that they can hear their victims ' heart beating , so there is no escape . i am not sure whether the blind dead are really zombies or vampires , as they tend to suck their victims rather than eat them , but the victims come back to life to continue the good work . the blind dead have horses and swords , so they are very hard to escape from , however how they have the strength to ride or hold a sword with their withered , spindly arms is amazing ! the film , as well as having some quite nice creepy scenes , has the obligatory 70s lesbian sequence which fits perfectly with the rest of the action . i suppose a film maker can only do his best to please all of his viewers . the blind dead are nicely made up , there is some gore , one of the characters , pedro , has the sweatiest armpits in film history and makes the mistake of taking on a whole army of the blind dead with a small knife . the end sequence is really good , as the zombie / vampire knights take on a train full of passengers , and literally suck the life out of them ! very highly recommended to 70s horror fans , but please don ' t answer any history exam questions with any of the films ' plot . i intend to enjoy the next episode in the blind dead saga asap .\n\u2018 hell of the living dead \u2018 is a low -

signature\u2019 to the blind dead films .\nshock : let\u0092s flash back to tombs of the blind dead , to \u0093that scene\u0094 , the flashback love scene between you and virginia ( played by actress maria elena arpon ) . it\u0092s not an explicit scene at all , it\u0092s very romantic and gentle , but it\u0092s still a very early lesbian scene in a horror film . can you talk about that ?\n. the plot is fairly simple , with a trio of young thrill seekers going camping . when one of their number turns up dead after a huge argument , the other two go off to investigate who could have done it . spoilers : it was the blind dead , a group of 14th century knights templar executed for witchcraft and now risen from the grave on horseback to seek their revenge .\na reporter and a psychic race to close the gates of hell after the suicide of a clergyman caused them to open , allowing the dead to rise from their graves .\nthe blind dead are never referred to as\ntemplar knights\nor\ncaballeros templarios\nin the original spanish language version . they are referred to as\nlos guerreros de oriente\n(\nthe warriors from the orient\n) .\ncaptures at least a little of the apocalyptic horror of the original . we ' re left with the uncomfortable knowledge that the blind dead are no longer in their own , otherworldly dimension -

length european cuts or the shortened , dubbed american versions . the other two titles , the ghost galleon and night of the seagulls , are uncut and offer viewers the option of english or spanish soundtracks ( the latter tracks featuring english subtitles ) . each disc features mono soundtracks , all of them in nice condition regardless of which language option is chosen . the film discs are rounded out by trailers as well as ad and still galleries . tombs of the blind dead also offers an amusing bonus called\nrevenge of planet ape ,\nwhich is an alternative title sequence that tries to pitch the film as a sequel to the planet of the apes . also included is a fifth disc that pays tribute to the deceased de ossorio . it includes a featurette about the director ' s career , a short interview with de ossorio , and a text piece that is accessible via a dvd - rom drive . the package is rounded out by knights of terror , a short but content - rich digest - sized magazine that synopsizes and reviews each film . the final touch is provided by amusing packaging , which houses the discs and booklet in an oblong black leather coffin -

flicks ! and amando de ossorio ' s tomb of the blind dead is one of the purest efforts this sub - genre brought forward you may expect foxy ladies , raw cinematography , creepy musical guidance and some slightly perverted undertones . the basic plot involves a creepy spanish myth of devil - worshiping templars who leave their tombs at night and dwell around the ruins of a deserted ghost town . the zombies look very filthy and they move in terrifying slow motion ! the few sequences in which the blind dead ( blind because their eyes were pecked out by crows ) chase their victims on their doomed horses are brilliant and some of the most effective horror ever shown . prepare yourself for a genuinely apocalyptic ending as well , one that ' ll leave you speechless ! of course , the film is filled with improbabilities and some immense structure holes , but de ossorio ' s ingenious visions are so surprising that you easily forgive him for this . highly recommended ! ! tombs of the blind dead may very well the best exploitation film i ' ve seen so far , along with ` mark of the devil ' ( german ) and ` cannibal man ' ( spanish as well ) . three sequels followed , but so far i haven ' t had the luck of tracking them down\nthis film is worth watching for the fantastic scenes of the blind dead riding about the spainish countryside on horseback dressed in their long , totally black robes . the seqeuences are all slowed right down and set to weird choral music giving a very effective gothic touch that makes the rest of the film look a bit pants .\nlondon based zoltan capture the eerie spine -

- rites which involved drinking the blood of innocent victims . then ( anachronistically ) , the local peasantry of berzano rebelled against the templars , and killed them all . after the rebellion , crows came and pecked out the eyes of the dead knights .\nalthough cheekily repurposing resurrection footage from tombs and slightly lacking that film\u2019s brooding atmosphere , return\u2019s moredirect , action - horror style offers a faster pace , more gore and better performances than its forebear . the blind dead are far more numerous in this film , enjoying more screen time and looking just as imposing , especially in the accomplished village massacre sequence and the film\u2019s climactic church siege .\ntombs of the blind dead was the first one , and it\u2019s about a threesome of friends who are going out on a pleasure trip . the threesome consists of two girls named virginia and betty and a dude named roger . roger invites both girls on a train ride to the country for some r & r . smart dude ! two girls for one guy , that\u2019s a sweet deal any way you look at it . everyone is having fun and having a great time when suddenly , disaster strikes ! one of the girls turns jealous when roger pays more attention to the other . the jealous girl decides she doesn\u2019t want to play fifth wheel so she jumps off the train in the middle of nowhere ! she begins to wonder through the countryside until she stumbles upon an ancient citadel . what she doesn\u2019t know is that these ruins are inhabited by the blind dead ! these undead blood drinkers pop out of their graves and suck her blood ! it isn\u2019t long before her friends decide to the ancient ruins to try and find her . will they find their friend ? will they escape the terror of the blind dead ?\nlocated at the end of the royal wadi , 6 km in the desert east of the city , it has five tombs , all unfinished . the tomb of akhenaten is the only one decorated . the king , his mother tyi and three of his daughters were buried there . we will devote a special study to it : .\nthis is a good thing too . amando de ossorio was a very visual director . he had a flair for creating stylized imagery on film , and he does that here in spades . the blind dead themselves are an amazingly creepy creation \u2013 looking like death not quite warmed over and just crawled out of the grave after a 100 - year dirt nap \u2013 and ossorio finds ways to film them to create beautiful , haunting visuals . the scenes of the blind dead riding undead horses through the swirling mist of the night are almost worth the price of the film alone . these scenes are also helped greatly by the genuinely creepy soundtrack .\nyou can still find tombs of the blind dead / la noche del terror ciego in specialty outlets , but your best bet is the internet . at the time of this writing the dvd can be found on amazon for around $ 8 new as a single disc or in the still available box set containing all four films plus a bonus features disc for around $ 30 . there\u2019s also a 4 disc collection ( minus the bonus disc ) for the same price as their more recent release .\nthe big draw with this movie is of course seeing the blind dead , which were a treat to look at in my book . we actually get to see a flashback as to who these templar knights used to be when they were alive . we get to see them performing a satanic ritual that involves whipping a young girl until she starts to bleed so they could feed on said girls blood and live forever ! these creatures are deadly in numbers , and if they manage to corner you , you are screwed , as one of the girls in the film discovers . there is this awesome sequence in which the blind dead manage to corner a girl in a room . she realizes that the zombies are blind , so she tries to keep her mouth shut and the noise she makes to a minimum as she hides in a corner . problem comes when the blind dead zero in on the beating of her heart ! so during the scene , while she is trying to be as quiet as possible , we hear her heart beating ! boom boom , boom boom , boom boom ! the camara zooms in and out with every one of her heartbeats as the blind dead slowly creep up towards her . great sequence !\nthe aten is the creator of all things in the universe and provides for the needs of his creation .\nfrom the onset of the attack on the train to the almost night of the living dead styled still frame sequence as the film ends ; this is another sequence where you see a lot of differences in the two cuts of the film . again , the spanish cut is noticeably more violent and extreme with its depictions of the slaughter on the train as well as with showing just who some of the victims are .\nthere ' s only one reason to watch tombs of the blind dead : zombies on horseback in slow - motion . . . look cool as hell ! ! the make - up department made the templar ' s the scariest looking zombies i ' ve seen in a while . other than that , we ' ve got an overrated spanish bore . the pacing is slower than the blind dead themselves . if you ' re going to have a slow movie , you have to make it interesting . there are times in the movie when nothing is said or happens for 7 minutes at a time . there are some serious believability issues as well . i mean , for a bunch of slow , blind dead guys , they sure are hard to get away from . all in all , tombs is not half as bad as i remember it being . i believe the dvd transfer can be thanked for that though . a clear , crisp picture can make any flick better . this film has a large cult following , however , there ' s just not enough action to keep me satisfied .\nin the tombs of huya and meryre ii a depiction is known as the scene of receiving tributes , or hosting foreign people , which took place in year 12 , second month of peret , day 8 , a date that can be considered as the apogee of the reign of akhenaten . the scene was grandiose and brought together three distinct protagonists .\nthose of you expecting a fast paced splatter fest of a zombie movie should be warned , this is not that kind of a movie . tombs of the blind dead is a film that gives more importance to suspense and atmosphere than fast paced thrills or the ever popular gore . the blind dead themselves are extremely slow moving , and you almost get the idea that you could simply run past them and you\u2019d be alright . but still , there is something spooky and haunting about these knights . the image of these walking skeletons , with their black hole eyes and their rotting beards is quite striking , seeing them move in the night , with the wind blowing in their beards and cloaks makes for some truly satasfying atmospheric imagery . even those scenes shot in the day time have this spooky vibe to them because the localizations were so lonely .\n\u2018 hell of the living dead \u2018 did not get a good reception , and the entire film basically borrows as much as it can from \u2018 dawn of the dead \u2018 and \u2018 zombie 2 \u2018 . the plot revolves around a group of soldiers who are sent to investigate a chemical leak at a lab that is causing an outbreak of zombies , the soldiers subsequently team up with a group of journalists to try and get to the source of the chaos .\n\u2018 hell of the living dead \u2018 was also released under the alternative titles : \u2018 virus \u2013 l\u2019inferno dei morti viventi \u2018 , \u2018 zombie creeping flesh \u2018 and \u2018 night of the zombies \u2018 .\njohnson george b :\nnorman de garis davies and the rock tombs of el -

and - miss , and the day - for - night photography , though effective in parts , is not believable . the film ' s bloody climax is a good one and the final freeze frame has some power , but it ' s sad to see such a wonderful concept handicapped by mediocre scripting and appalling acting . still , there are defining moments of horror within the frames of this spanish potboiler .\nin 1971 , director amando de ossorio created what horror fans worldwide consider to be spain ' s night of the living dead . in ossorio ' s nightmare vision , a legion of knights templar - executed horsemen whose eyes had been pecked out by crows - rise rotting from their graves , hunting only by sound in a quest for human flesh . the blind dead saga begins here , as a modern - day tourist trip to the ruins of the templar monastery unleashes a frenzy of lesbian desire , sexual violence and the unholy onslaught of the eyeless undead !\nat dawn , the rays of the aten , the uncreated creator , fill the earth , animate beings and manifest the sovereignty of the god .\nit would be a mistake to disregard the importance of de ossorio ' s distinctive zombies themselves , however . the blind dead are some of the most intimidating zombies in the business . part of it is their unique character design , realized by an unexpected combination of extras in full - face masks and simple but impressive puppetry . because the undead templars are portrayed as desiccated and mummified , the immobility and awkwardness imparted to the zombies by the use of masks and puppets actually makes them more believable than would probably have been the case had more conventional makeup been used . but beyond all of that , it is the mythos behind them that enables the blind dead to stand out from the hordes of interchangeable gut - munching corpses that populate most zombie films . and somehow it\u2019s the smallest detail\u2014 their blindness\u2014 that is the most disturbing thing about them . knowing that the templars wouldn\u2019t be able to find their prey if it would just shut the fuck up ought to make the zombies less scary , and yet it does just the opposite by allowing the undead knights\u2019 victims an advantage that isn\u2019t worth nearly as much as it might seem . after all , there are some sounds a person can\u2019t control\u2014 the frantic beating of a terror - stricken heart , for example . it\u2019s no wonder that de ossorio would direct three sequels to tombs of the blind dead over the following four years . what\u2019s surprising is that the templar series didn\u2019t spawn a plague of knockoffs the way romero\u2019s movies did .\nthe discs in blue underground\u2019s blind dead releases are pretty barren when it comes to bonus features . the first film has no commentary tracks , has no looking back on features or making of features . it does however include the alternate opening ( with explanation ) created by a fly by night distributor as a part of a campaign to fool movie goers into believing the film was connected to the planet of the apes film series . if you\u2019re both scratching your head at that last bit and you missed the decades of horror podcast devoted to the blind dead , go back and give it a listen . we covered that . there\u2019s also a poster and photo stills gallery as well as the original theatrical trailer .\nfew films in the wildly variable annals of eurohorror enjoy a cult following quite like amando de ossorio\u2019s inaugural blind dead offering . aside from getting three sequels of their own , the sinister , visually - impaired knights templar have been the subject of a number of unofficial low - budget sequels , homages , and comic books , and live on as the malefic mascots of doom metal bands the world over . but does the film itself warrant this ? indeed it does .\nare so soft and grainy that they look like they were shot through gauze , although the interiors in this 1 . 85 : 1 anamorphic widescreen presentation are generally sharper and better defined . colors tend to be lifeless throughout . this all could be a factor of the original photography , but this is visually the weakest of the four blind dead films .\nthe year was 1971 , the country was spain , the film , \u201ctombs of the blind dead\u201d . writer / director amando de ossorio\u2019s first in a series of \u201cblind dead\u201d films is flying towards my face , eyes and nose out of a portable dvd player , and all thanks to another lovely release from blue underground . i am faced with the decision of whether i want to watch it in english , or in spanish . lovelock hates to read , but everyone unanimously hates bad dubbing , except for special cases like \u201caces go places\u201d a . k . a . \u201cmad mission\u201d . but that ' s a whole other discussion . from what i understand , there are huge differences between the english and spanish versions , more than just language . since we\u2019re purists , let\u2019s go original . moving right along , let\u2019s get this show on the road .\nthis theme is always in the first room , in the tombs of meryre , huya , ahmose , and of pentu . until the reign of akhenaten , the deceased , sometimes with his wife , is represented rigid and static before a table of offerings , but he never consumes it . during the amarna period , everything changes : on the walls of tombs , the king is shown - and sometimes members of the royal family - seated or standing , eating and drinking . the seemingly trivial nature of these scenes should not mislead one : akhenaten eating is akhenaten making an offering to the aten ! as for the dead person , if he participates in these scenes it is as a servant , and is represented on a very small scale compared to members of the royal family . thus , in the tomb of huya there are two representations of the royal couple eating and drinking with the queen mother tiy ; huya is represented as miniscule by the feet of akhenaten ( see opposite ) .\nto provide the blind dead with their nifty new location , ossorio had to scramble . the back story of the blind dead puts their execution somewhere in the late 1400 ' s ( though actually , the order of the templars was dissolved in 1312 ) ; it ' s never really explained what they ' re doing on a late 16th century galleon . but the explanation for the galleon itself , and its otherworldly fog , is hooey of the highest order . we have a meteorologist , a scientist so credulous he makes fox mulder seem like thomas huxley , tell us that the ship isn ' t real ; that it exists in another dimension , and that once aboard , our characters too have ceased to exist .\ndamned good . the audio track doesn\u2019t have a lot of bells and whistles options for your sound system settings , but both the original spanish and the english dub are clear with no moments of sound fading or of having the volume bounce from low to high and back again . the music , from incidental bits to the theme used for the blind dead\u2019s best moments on film , is crisp and clean with no noticeable pops or glitches .\nparts of the soundtrack are directly stolen from goblin\u2019s score for george a . romero\u2019s \u2018 dawn of the dead \u2018 and also from a soundtrack that they did for a film called \u2018 alien contagion \u2018 .\nunderneath that ground and soon to emerge from their tombs are the knights , who appear as a dank , rotted zombie , but probably could be more succinctly described as mummies . they wear cloaks and hoods that have absorbed hundreds of years worth of filth and have sunken in , skeletal features with facial hair , but are strong enough to move the stone covers of their own tombs . they move slowly like a zombie horde but unlike the typical living dead , they use ancient horses as a method of transportation , cloaked in the same dingy clothing that covers their bodies , much like in f . w . murnau\u2019s\nin return of the blind dead , a village celebrates a centuries old centennial of the templars destruction ( 100 years , 500 years , i forget ) . they show up to crash the party . at one point , the templars even knock loudly on the door of potential victims . in horror of the zombies , the templars travel around in a ghost ship enshrouded in a supernatural fog . whether carpenter saw the movies , or not , the similarities are to obvious to ignore , at least for me .\nin an interview segment appended to the nifty - as - usual severin dvd of mansion of the living dead , jesus franco describes this movie as a freeform meditation on themes drawn from the work of poet and novelist gustavo adolfo b\u00e9cquer . b\u00e9cquer isn\u2019t an author i\u2019ve read , and i know almost nothing about him beyond that he lived during the 19th century and that he\u2019s greatly respected in his native spain\u2014 the kind of writer whom you can\u2019t escape from the spanish school system without encountering at least once . my ignorance of b\u00e9cquer and his writing means that i can\u2019t confidently guess what franco might have had in mind by linking him to mansion of the living dead . just the same , though , i also can\u2019t shake the suspicion that he was having us on at least a little , because for a film supposedly rooted in the classics of 19th - century literature , mansion of the living dead sure does look like a shitty rip - off of tombs of the blind dead and its sequels . i mean , i guess it can be both\u2014 and if anybody was going to pull a stunt that ridiculous , jesus franco would be the one . even if it\u2019s true , though , i\u2019m not sure the highbrow connection adds much to the sometimes hilarious , often excruciating , and always baffling experience of watching this film ."]}

driven protests . but the film ' s racial agenda couldn ' t be more placatory and safe . in a key scene , osu ' s all - white football team barks racist invective at the track team , and owens and his friends are distracted , frustrated , and demoralized . so snyder deliberately keeps his trainees in the locker room as the football team comes in , and as the players ' hateful protests become increasingly shrill , he lectures the runners on how to shut out the noise . it ' s one of hopkins ' more technically creative scenes : the football team ' s hatred eventually flattens into ignorable background noise , and then into polite silence . it ' s a nice trick , but a suspect message : just ignore racism and racist attacks , and they ' ll go away , leaving you to achieve your dreams in peace . if only the world were that simple .\nbased on the incredible true story of jesse owens , the legendary athletic superstar whose quest to become the greatest track and field athlete in history thrusts him onto the world stage of the 1936 olympics , where he faces off against adolf hitler\u2019s vision of aryan supremacy . \u201crace\u201d is an enthralling film about courage , determination , tolerance , and friendship , and an inspiring drama about one man\u2019s fight to become an olympic legend .\nit\u2019s only the end of the world , xavier dolan\u2019s drama about a terminally ill gay man\u2019s emotional return to his fractious family , took a leading nine nominations in the film section of the candys , which were announced tuesday . the movie is also shortlisted in the oscars\u2019 best foreign language film category , with nominations to be unveiled jan . 24 .\nthe film\u2019s release is certainly timely ; it is the 80 th anniversary of 1936 olympic games in berlin , germany and we are preparing for rio\u2019s summer olympics . it was in berlin where owens would make history as a civil rights icon that meant many things to many different constituencies . today his narrative is nothing less than complex . his story is as vexing to our understandings of race , sports , and global politics as it was in the 1930s . what we owe owens is more complexity and nuance . the film attempts to put this front and center through analyses of segregation in higher education , owens\u2019 relationship with his coach , multiple forms of oppressions between races and ethnicities domestically and globally , and larger conversations about the place of politics in athletic arenas . on some of these points race hits its mark , but on others it misses .\npresident obama , during his speech at the dallas memorial on tuesday , offered a similar message of transparency when it comes to race relations : \u201cif we cannot even talk about these things honestly and openly \u2026 we will never break this dangerous cycle . \u201d\nthough the film is due out in theaters this weekend , it\u2019ll be a couple of years before \u201c race \u201d fully arrives in its most natural habitat : resource -

office returns during the 39th metro manila film festival ( mmff ) .\nmanila , philippines - vice ganda is up for another challenge as he portrays four different roles in one film via 39th metro manila film festival entry \u00e2\u20ac\u0153girl , boy , bakla , tomboy . \u00e2\u20ac\u009d\nbut at it\u2019s heart , girl , boy , bakla , tomboy is about a family who discovers the true meaning of loyalty and acceptance . while the film is hardly an advocacy for sexual tolerance , it\u2019s a latent reminder of our culture\u2019s acceptance of varying sexualities .\nnow on its 39th year , the eight official entries of the mmff are comprised of 10 , 000 hours ; pedro calungsod , batang martir ; girl boy bakla tomboy ; pagpag : siyam na buhay ; kimmy dora 3 : ang kiyemeng prequel ; my little bossings , boy golden : the arturo porcuna story , and kaleidoscope world .\non the other hand , \u201cseven sundays\u201d will also be cristine\u2019s first film under star cinema after four years . her last film under the movie outlet was the highest - grossing film of 2013 , \u201cgirl , boy , bakla , tomboy\u201d , starring vice ganda and maricel soriano .\ngirl , boy , bakla , tomboy\nmightily struggled to keep us interested the whole time it was up on the big screen . not even halfway through the film , we wanted the suffering to end but it kept on with a very long running time that almost took two hours to complete . what made this a horrendous experience is its shoddy makeup of convoluted scenes , tasteless and tired jokes , blatant advertisements segments and bad acting . minus its moralistic and grounded plot and superb production values , not much can be said for\ngirl , boy , bakla , tomboy\n.\ngirl , boy , bakla , tomboy is a family comedy in the truest sense . it is a film made with families in mind , but it\u2019s a story written about a family coming together . while the film certainly won\u2019t please everyone , it will succeed in delighting enough to make it matter .\nthe movie revolves around the story of quadruplets who were separated from each other when they were babies . two of the siblings , team girl - boy , flew to the states with their father while the other two , team bakla - tomboy , were left behind in the care of their mother .\n1 . sign up \u201chuman are innately good . \u201d password log in\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022geromearcilla @ urltoken email or phone innate -

friendly and in good spirit .\nbarring few exceptions , deramas is at his best when working alongside vice ganda . audiences still hoping for high - brow punchlines will need to look elsewhere , but for those who want a hilarious and mindlessly entertaining holiday escape , girl , boy , bakla , tomboy is easily the best family comedy in this year\u2019s festival .\ndirected by chito rono , boy golden : the arturo porcuna story takes filipinos back to the 1960s where boy golden ruled the street of old manila .\nyou may think that\ngirl , boy , bakla , tomboy\nis going to be an awesome experience knowing that vice ganda is at the helm and even better , there ' s actually four of him in the film . four times the fun right ? sadly and rather quite bluntly , the actual film is very far from that . jokes fail to inch out any laughter 90 % of the time , the story is a bloated mess and the lead character struggles to cope with his other personas well .\ngirl , boy , bakla , tomboy\nis such a mediocre film that it is monumentally appalling to see , hear and feel .\nwhat i love most about this movie is the talent of vice ganda to portray four different roles with four different genders ! in the movie , vice ' s characters were quadruplet ! he was able to give life to the girl named girlie , to the boy peter , to the gay mark , and to the tomboy panying ! even though the four characters were played by only one actor , we can easily distinguish one from another !\nhindi mo masasabing si vice lang mag - isa ang gumaganap ng isang role !\nfor me , of the four characters , i love the girl and the tomboy ! yes ,\nang galing - galing gumanap ni vice na girl at tomboy !\nsa bakla normal lang kase niya ' un , ' ung boy medyo pilit pa at di ako convinced .\nbut the girl and the tomboy characters , perfect ! vice played them very well !\nayon din sa pelikula , hindi lahat ng bakla ay ugat ng iskandalo o kahihiyan .\nwell if they ironed out those negative sides of the film , maybe\ngirl boy bakla tomboy\nis no . 1 in the top - grossing race defeating vic sottos ' s\nmy little bossings !\nand it will definitely surpass the success of vice ' s last year ' s film\nsisterakas !\nwhat do you think ? !\nalthough his kind of comedy is admittedly lost on audiences looking for more high - brow laughs , deramas\u2019 brand of hyperreal , gaudily styled humor has come to define much of the mmff experience . but with the help of comic superstar vice ganda , girl , boy , bakla , tomboy provides its own brand of slap - in - the - face absurdity .\ni also observed that vice ' s four characters were inspired by four different celebrities . the girl depicts ruffa gutierrez , the boy is the k - pop g - dragon , the gay definitely is no other than himself , and the tomboy is either charice or aiza seguerra ! agree ? !\nkiray was a member of the third batch of graduates . she appeared in kapamilya shows like \u201c mara clara \u201d ( 2010 -

extending things too long . some scenes are completely unnecessary and two hours is just too much given how light the material is . as a side note , maricel soriano is the only shining star in this film and you could actually see how her acting is leaps and bounds better from everyone else . in the end , the honest truth is that\ngirl , boy , bakla , tomboy\nis the typical money grab film . one that puts the biggest star on the billing and knowing that it will sell millions no matter what , does not put effort to everything else .\nconflict begins when the siblings based in the states discover that the boy is afflicted with a liver disease and must undergo a transplant . the us -

styled eddie murphy comedy . photo from the film ' s facebook\ndirector wenn v . deramas has become somewhat of an institution at the metro manila film festival . despite his numerous detractors , there\u2019s something to be said about his ability to deliver mass - market humor on a consistent basis .\nmark , girlie , peter and panying jackstone ( all played by vice ganda ) are quatruplets who are separated not long after their birth . while mark and panying are raised by their mother pia ( maricel soriano ) , girlie and panying are taken to the states to be raised by their father peter ( joey marquez ) .\neach of the four siblings are defined by their own differing sexual preference , and while this may sound alarmingly sexist , it\u2019s all done in good fun . but when peter finds himself in need of a liver transplant , the quadruplets are reunited in order to find a matching liver donor to save peter\u2019s life .\nalthough peter\u2019s sickness kicks off the story , deramas and vice keep the film lightheartedly candid . for vice , it\u2019s a juggling act of dizzying proportions . fortunately , his depiction of the four lead roles are more than just a lazy change of outfit . each sibling has their own unique comic sensebilities , adding to the dynamic of seemingly dysfunctional\nthough the film does tend to meander , the scenes move briskly enough to keep the punchlines coming . while deramas doesn\u2019t veer too far off from his trademark brand of goofball comedy , his partnership with vice ganda manages to squeeze out an oddly brilliant punchline or two .\nderamas has often been criticized for delivering cheap low - brow comedy ; but his humor works particularly well when paired with a comedian as irreverently clever as vice ganda . while not all of their gags make their mark , the ones that do offer enough absurd laughs to keep vice fans entertained .\nzig marasigan is a freelance screenwriter and director who believes that cinema is the cure for cancer . follow him on twitter at @ zigmarasigan .\nmore tickets = more points = more movies on us ! rack up vip + points for every ticket you buy to score streaming movies and discounts on tickets and movie gear .\nget your swag on with discounted movies to stream at home , exclusive movie gear , access to advanced screenings and discounts galore .\ncollect bonus rewards from our many partners , including amc , stubs , cinemark connections , regal crown club when you link accounts .\nwe know life happens , so if something comes up , you can return or exchange your tickets up until the posted showtime .\nsign up for a fanalert and be the first to know when tickets and other exclusives are available in your area .\nalso sign me up for fanmail to get updates on all things movies : tickets , special offers , screenings + more .\nown all of the previous ' mission : impossible ' movies to watch at home for just $ 3 . 99 each with ticket purchase . buy tickets\nreceive a free * exclusive ' jurassic world : fallen kingdom ' poster with ticket purchase ( * shipping & handling not included ) . buy tickets\nchoose 1 of 2 free * posters with ticket purchase ( * shipping & handling not included ) . buy tickets\nreceive a free * exclusive ' ant -

love types facing the tail end of the age of aquarius , and not for christ .\neach leans into the music , giving it their all . by the time the entire company come to perform the famous superstar chorus , the show has been brought to fierce life , no longer a dusty period piece from 1970 , but a rock musical that still sounds unique . lloyd webber stands up , slowly .\nyou know ,\nhe says ,\ni think that is the best i have ever heard jesus christ superstar sung .\nthe film features many members from the original broadway production . elliman originated the role of mary magdalene . neeley , who was part of the original ensemble , stepped into the role of jesus . anderson , who understudied the role of judas and later succeeded original star ben vereen , was cast in the role for the film adaptation .\nover at fox , they\u2019ll be tackling a christmas story , which has already been turned into a tony - winning musical on stage , and the famous broadway musical rent . meanwhile , nbc will take on a much older musical in the form of jesus christ superstar . find out more details on each after the jump .\nmy parents introduced me to this film when i was 5 . i was from an atheist family but familiar with the christian cannon of jesus . my parents explained the plot . . . continue reading\nwe made him a type of everyman . judas did not think of himself as a traitor . he did what he did , not because he was basically evil , but because he was intelligent . he could se christ becoming something he considered harmful to the jews . judas felt that they been persecuted enough . as far as what christ was saying , general principles of how human beings should live together \u2013 judas approved of this . what judas was worried about was that as christ got bigger and bigger and more popular , people began switching their attentions from what christ was saying to christ himself . they were saying that jesus is god , here is the new messiah , and judas was terrified because , a . ) he didn\u2019t agree with it \u2013 he thought christ was getting out of control and it was affecting him , and b . ) judas reckoned that if the movement got too big and people began worshipping christ as a god , the romans who were occupying israel would come down and clobber them . \u2013 superstar lyricist tim rice the play represents a confused and commercial portrait of christ \u2013 a christ that does not rise from the dead . of course , the christ the authors present would not have risen from the dead . they are not men of faith , and their statements only serve to undermine the scriptures . i have not seen the show , and my objections are based on what friends who have seen it tell me . \u2013 minister dennis miller , calvary baptist church\ni have been up to avdat today and i think i recognize it being used in a few scenes of the 1973 movie version of jesus christ superstar , but of course it ' s really hard - - obviously they\ndressed\nthe ruins . is there any information about the specific locations where they filmed the movie ?\nhippie jesus : christ , as well as the apostles in the 1973 version . at one point , after judas riles jesus by suggesting he not spend time with ex - prostitutes , one of the followers says\nhey , cool it , man !\njesus christ superstar is my favorite movie of all time . why ? i don ' t know . i love everything about it . the casting , the music , the story , the direction . i ' m a big fan of 70 ' s music and this is the ultimate 70 ' s musical for me . you will only like this film if you are fan of 1970 ' s music . the film is shot on location and has this mixture of 1970 ' s visuals mixing with roman time costumes . it ' s a very entertaining musical and has the best judas and jesus performances ( in terms of jesus christ superstar musicals ) . carl anderson as judas is simply amazing and must be seen . if you love musicals and especially andrew lyod webber ones , you should get this one . the dvd comes with commentary track by director norman jewison and ted neeley ( jesus ) . there ' s also interview with lyricist tim rice and a photo gallery . sound and video quality could have been better . overall this is a very good dvd of an amazing musical .\nthe passion of jesus christ as seen through the eyes of judas . this popular rock musical is based on the 1996 london / 2000 broadway revivals of the show , directed by gale edwards . re - orchestrated and set to modern times , it is not the superstar of the 70 ' s but rather one for the 21st century .\ncopyright \u00a9 2005 - 2018 / film . privacy policy / cookie policy . web design by pro blog design . logo concept by : illumination ink\nthe ground\u2013breaking rock musical jesus chris superstar is back on the road , in a production that its composer andrew lloyd webber loves and with a cast that includes comedian tim minchin . they both talk to sarah crompton\nsomewhat justified in that the film was set up as something a busload of hippies were putting on in the middle of the desert for some reason .\nrepeat cut : the 1973 film includes several repeated zooms to judas sitting on a hilltop , before he launches into the first song of the movie .\nhad this on vinyl many years ago so i decided it was time to update to cd . a good cd for fans of the original film .\nthe soundtrack for the film was released on vinyl by mca records in 1973 . it was re - released on cd in 1993 and in 1998 .\nthe lyric to the chorus of the title song originally just repeated\njesus christ\nevery time the melody repeated . but before recording it , tim rice wanted to give the lyric some variety . the word\nsome of the jesus christ superstar lyrics were changed for the film , partly enriching its content ( \u201chosanna\u201d , \u201cthe temple\u201d ) and partly making it more acceptable for a christian audience . in a scene where a group of beggars overpowers jesus , \u201cheal yourselves ! \u201d , was changed to \u201cleave me alone ! \u201d . in \u201ctrial before pilate\u201d , jesus said \u201cthere may be a kingdom for me somewhere else , if you only knew\u201d , while the original line had been \u201cif i only knew\u201d . and in \u201cjudas\u2019 death , \u201d the line \u201cwhat you have done will be the saving of israel\u201d was changed to \u201c\u2026 the saving of everyone . \u201d\ni was delightedto be able to purchase this original film score version fo this musical . this was always my favourite presentation of this and any remastering can only ahve improved it . a very enjoyable - and for me - nostalgic listening experience ( i remeber the film when it first came out ! ! )\npeter , meanwhile , denies jesus three times , after being set on by a crowd of jesus ' enemies , (\npeter ' s denial\n) . jesus is taken to pilate ' s house , where the governor , apparently unaware that jesus is the man from his dream , mocks him . since he does not deal with jews , pilate sends him to herod (\npilate and christ\n) .\njesus christ superstar tells the story of biblical jesus in the final days leading up to his crucifixion . a rock opera by andrew lloyd webber and tim rice , the musical has no spoken dialogue and is sometimes considered a modern rock - opera . loosely based on the gospels , superstar focuses on the personal conflicts between jesus , his disciples , the people of israel , and the leadership of rome . special attention is played to the relationship between judas iscariot and jesus , as well as jesus\u2019 relationship with mary magdalene . the musical is unique among biblical retellings in that it focuses on both judas\u2019 struggle making the decision to betray jesus and jesus\u2019 human psychology , fear , and anger in understanding and accepting his role as both leader and martyr . the show is a product of its era , permeated with 1970\u2019s rock , gospel , folk and funk themes , modern language and colloquialisms , and high - energy dance numbers .\nafter jesus is whipped , the music immediately ( and significantly ) shifts into the \u201csuperstar\u201d theme . this is a way of saying that the martyrdom has begun , and jesus has won his fame . this idea is stressed in judas\u2019s final song , in which he mentions both buddha and mohammed but says that jesus has more appeal because of how he died . the opera ends with jesus\u2019 crucifixion . there is no resurrection .\njesus christ superstar won the olivier award for best musical revival and evening standard award for best musical , along with five further olivier nominations for best theatre choreography , best lighting , best sound , outstanding achievement in music , and best actor in a musical ( for tyrone huntley ) . for his role as judas , tyrone won the evening standard emerging talent award .\nbut jesus christ superstar also shines a fair portion of its spotlight on judas as well , proposing that christianity\u2019s most notorious turncoat might not have been the bad guy the history books have made him out to be . superstar \u2019s judas is no silver - coveting backstabber ; carl anderson portrays him like the bassist who notices the lead singer getting a little too fond of the fame and reminds him that this is about the music . his split with christ might have been spurred by jealousy , but jewison plays it off like creative differences . with white - hot vocals , neeley and anderson play dueling divas to unexpected highs of melodrama . the scenes between judas and jesus hum with a barely sublimated homoeroticism \u2014 the smooch they share in the garden of gethsemane looks like it\u2019s about to go somewhere . the era of free love was in the film\u2019s rearview , but not that far away .\nthat isn\u2019t easy to do . the life of christ would seem to have an innate dignity to it , but only in such rare films as pier paolo pasolini \u2019s \u201c the gospel according to st . matthew \u201d or martin scorsese \u2019s \u201c the last temptation of christ \u201d has christ come off as human , strong and reachable . the character has a tendency to disintegrate before our eyes ; it\u2019s the only male role we can imagine where the cinematographer considers gauze over the lens . christ seems wispy and too ethereal , and mary magdalene begins to steal scenes . the lowest point in this sort of thing was reached by jeffrey hunter as christ in the remake of \u201cking of kings\u201d - - but let that memory steal quietly away .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\nthe actor in the ' 73 film , josh mostel , is zero mostel ' s son , so it\u0092s less ambiguous there , to put it lightly .\nembodies the reason for judas\u2019 betrayal \u2013 the\nsuperstardom ,\nthe hype , the baggage became more important than the very important philosophical message jesus wanted to convey , a message judas believed in . to judas , jesus lost his stature as philosopher when he gained his status as superstar .\nsome first time viewers of the film may wonder at all the reactionary buzz that happened during the film ' s premiere and which continues today . while some of the hollering pointed to doctrinal concerns , it is clear that a great deal of the noise was sparked by the sexual energy of the film ' s young adult cast . the heat was also raised by the vibrant choreography created by robert iscove and the contemporary costume designs of yvonne blake . add to that fire the simple fact that the story had been pushed through the medium of a rock opera . but seasoned fans , including those who may not have experienced the film in a theatre since 1973 ( and one as architecturally grand as the castro ) will marvel at the clear - sighted work of director norman jewison . considering the amount of powerful scholarship that has emerged within the past two decades concerning the historical jesus - - that being his early cultural influences , his immediate family , the nature of his relationship with mary magdalene and judas iscariot - - the screenplay of jesus christ superstar has proven to be amazingly resilient .\nin the 1973 film , when jesus and the twelve apostles sit down for\nthe last supper ,\nthey all freeze for a moment in the exact poses depicted in leonardo da vinci ' s famous painting of the same name . movie fans have used this scene to identify exactly which actors are playing which apostles , since not all of them are identified by name in the film .\nan ancient roman ampitheater in beit ' shaan , tunneled through with catacombs , served as the location for\ntrial before pilate\nand\nsuperstar .\nnbc has selected \u201cjesus christ superstar\u201d as the next live musical to head to the network , variety has learned . the show follows in the footsteps of nbc\u2019s successful run of live musical events , including \u201csound of music live , \u201d \u201cpeter pan live , \u201d \u201cthe wiz live , \u201d and most recently , \u201chairspray live . \u201d all of nbc\u2019s former live musicals have [ \u2026 ]\njesus christ superstar gets underway , and we see judas sitting on a hill watching jesus surrounded by followers . judas is worried about jesus\u2019 popularity \u2014 he is being hailed as a god , but judas feels he is just a man , and fears the consequences of their growing movement ( \u201cheaven on their minds\u201d ) . extras who were used for the adaptation included mona sandler and lynne klienman , both from jamaica , ny , along with friends they met in israel that summer . they were used for preview scenes to see how the lighting and terrain would work when the cast was ready to start filming . the shots were done at the masada . the parts they played were lepers waiting for the touch from jesus christ and in the bazaar scenes .\nwhat\u2019s the buzz ? tell me what\u2019s a - happening . well , nbc has set its next live musical event \u2014 this time for easter . it\u2019s jesus christ superstar , the classic 1971 rock opera from andrew lloyd webber and tim rice , who will executive produce alongside marc platt and the peacock\u2019s live - musical veterans craig zadan and neil meron . it will air april 1 , 2018 .\ni am also booked to design costumes for an independent feature musical film , called down flew the doves ( dir . matthew gould ) later in 2013 - 2014 .\nthe tim rice and andrew lloyd webber phenomenon returns . jesus christ superstar was an album that became a cultural phenomenon , then broadway\u2019s first rock opera and remains a world - wide favorite . with classic songs like \u201ci don\u2019t know how to love him , \u201d \u201cheaven on their minds\u201d and the title song , this bold and rocking retelling of the gospels will leave you singing nothing but heavenly praises .\ni love this recording . i believe it is the one from the film version . i unwittingly bought a different version some years ago but i ' m so glad to have rectified that now with this film version . it is , of course , the greatest story ever told , and this is a great way of telling it .\npilate and christ\nis this to\nhosanna\n. the latter is a crowd song sung by jesus ' adoring followers , while part of the reprise is sung by these same followers after they ' ve turned against him .\nnbc , who pioneered the television events back in december 2013 with its successful staging of \u201cthe sound of music , \u201d is currently prepping \u201cbye bye birdie\u201d with star jennifer lopez for this december , and will air \u201cjesus christ superstar\u201d this april . fox is doubling down after the success of \u201cgrease live , \u201d with plans for both a live version of \u201c rent \u201d and \u201c a christmas story . \u201d\njudas is concerned about jesus ' rise to power and association with the prostitute , mary magdalene , but jesus ignores him and leads his followers to jerusalem , where judas ' concerns prove to have been valid and jesus is crucified .\ncast white actors in the role of jesus . the 2018 televised stage production features an african american man , john legend , in the role of jesus .\n, sarcastic , angry , representing judas\u2019 point of view , the idea that jesus had become a\nsuperstar ,\na shallow , hyped personality worshipped merely for the hype like many pop stars of the 1960s and 70s and today . the title\nin the 2000 version of\nsuperstar\n, it ' s unclear if judas has come back as a demon after killing himself , or if jesus is merely hallucinating due to blood loss ( having been brutally whipped in the previous song . )\njesus christ superstar works like a time machine , and not just because it brings me back to the days of my youth . despite being directed by a canadian and written by a brit , the film preserves the look and feel of post - \u2018summer of love\u2019 america like mosquitoes in amber by actively incorporating america\u2019s shifting cultural tides into its reinterpretation of the ages - old story of christ\u2019s crucifixion . the hairstyles may range from impressively spherical afros to feathered bangs and the ensemble\u2019s costumed in rags so flowy and threadbare they could\u2019ve been picked out of the donation bin at the haight - ashbury ymca , but director norman jewison deftly infuses weber\u2019s musical with the national attitudes of disillusionment and bitterness prevalent during that critical period after woodstock and before nixon\u2019s resignation in disgrace ."]}

ability factor is one of the things i love most about the film ( second is lizzy caplan , duh ) . if likeability is so important why was house such a popular tv show ? it certainly wasn\u2019t because he was likeable , but he was still beloved and that\u2019s how i feel about regan , gena and katie . you don\u2019t have to relate to their bad choices to understand the bizarre nature of female friendships . screw the hangover ; bachelorette is where it\u2019s at .\nthe disney channel original movie \u201cfrenemies , \u201d starring bella thorne and zendaya ( both of \u201cshake it up\u201d ) , mary mouser ( \u201cbody of proof\u201d ) , nick robinson ( \u201cmelissa & joey\u201d ) and stefanie scott ( \u201ca . n . t . farm\u201d ) , chummed up to viewers across the u . s . , ranking as friday\u2019s # 1 tv telecast among kids 2 -

alter egos ( mary mouser plays both roles ) who trade places ( much like the parent trap ) because they each believe the other ' s life is better . savannah is a tomboy who loves skateboarding and lives with her dad and three brothers . she has a crush on jake logan and attends waterbury high school with avalon , halley , jake , and julianne . emma is a rich girly - girl who goes to a private school . they trade places when they meet at the mall . emma ( disguised as savannah ) gets a date with jake and emma starts acting romantic causing savannah to get mad and say\nthat ' s my boyfriend !\nthe two start fighting . later , at emma ' s birthday ball the girls forgive each other and switch back . avalon and halley lead everyone in a dance to\npose\nby stefanie scott as the film ends .\nthe film sometimes aims its jokes well above viewers ' heads , sometimes operates on a grade - school intellectual level ; sometimes dares viewers to laugh at truly dark material , at others all but begs for easy applause . that it succeeds more often than not is due in no small part to heche and oh , who are wonderfully unafraid to make their characters deplorable people , and also able to invest their downfalls with sincere pathos , complicating any schadenfreude one might be expecting to find .\nby contrast , broadbent is merely so - so ( he\u2019s great when being twinkly - eyed and aggressively avuncular , less convincing as a self - absorbed grouch ) . perhaps the script asks him to cover too much ground . one gets the feeling the film - makers have been encouraged , ever so slightly , to make this fit for audiences in the mood for light entertainment \u2014 plot threads involving tony\u2019s wife and daughter , not to mention a chirpy postman , belong in a sitcom , albeit a classy one .\nthis adaptation of julian barnes\u2019s prize - winning novel is about a mid - life crisis . or rather , a mid - lie crisis . middle - aged londoner tony ( jim broadbent ) is confronted by a letter which makes him re - evaluate events that took place in his early twenties . he realises he has suppressed real memories and held on to false or incomplete ones and bamboozled himself , as much as others . the film , much concerned with how the brain works , induces mild terror : what the hell are we thinking ?\nyou will not have to wait long for the next feminine freakout . this week sees the uk release of nicolas winding refn\u2019s the neon demon . stylistically and geographically , its los angeles fashion world is poles apart from queen of earth - somebody does get murdered . but beneath the movie\u2019s pristine pop - culture polish and fastidious detachment , it bears many of the hallmarks of the genre . elle fanning\u2019s ingenue model is taken in by a veritable coven of sculpted , coutured frenemies , whose apparently benign intentions conceal a litany of womanly sins : they are catty , duplicitous , vacuous , narcissistic , predatory . they\u2019re evil lesbians and worse . fanning\u2019s grounded innocence soon evaporates in this hallucinatory hall of mirrors , though refn ( working with two female screenwriters ) pushes beyond personal mania and through into depraved occult horror , somewhere between dario argento , guy bourdin and russ meyer .\nbased on a novel by alexa young , frenemies sets out to explore the complicated world of on - again , off - again teen relationships and to illustrate why friendship should top the value list . does it accomplish this goal ? yes , but the movie ' s worthwhile messages about social priorities and individuality come courtesy of sanitized characters and an unrealistic plot . these teens aren ' t coping with relatable academic pressures , complex relationships , or worries about their future . instead , 14 - year - olds are spending time at school plotting to land a dream job in the grown - up world , flubbing their way through someone else ' s fencing lessons while playing the role of a look - alike pal , and trying to reason with a pouting pet . sound familiar ? probably not , and it ' s a good bet your tweens will find it a little far -

like narrative . the film is cleverly inspired from the real stations of the cross , and with its 14 one - long take segments , the film expose the ills of how people clearly abuses religion and put such burden to these innocent , young individuals . and at the core is maria ( parallels jesus christ ) who is the clear victim of being\u2026\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\nit may seem strange to think of the traditionalist gibson alluding to scorsese\u2019s notoriously controversial film , the last major jesus film before the passion of the christ . however , the passion does seem to be consciously aware of the earlier film . ( jeffrey overstreet of christianitytoday . com , among others , has noted that the soundtrack is overtly reminiscent of last temptation \u2019s peter gabriel score . )\nthese 14 one shot vignettes mirroring the 14 stations of the cross chronicle a young girl in the fundamentalist roman catholic society of st . pius x ( renamed society of st . paul for the film ) and her desire to sacrifice herself to god as a saint . the scenes are very talkative and their unblinking one shot methods are quite an endurance test , but i found the film to be powerful and captivating , reminiscent of von trier ' s breaking the waves .\nthe film\u2019s structure , following the dolorous passion of our lord jesus christ by venerable sr . anne catherine emmerich , one of the screenplay\u2019s sources , combines two popular traditional catholic devotions : the 14 stations of the cross and the five sorrowful mysteries of the rosary . every mystery and every station is there , in order \u2014 including one event drawn entirely from tradition , st . veronica wiping the lord\u2019s face .\nberlin -

faced comedy in the mode of \u201c paradise : faith , \u201d the satire by the austrian director ulrich seidl . ms . weisz\u2019s genuinely scary portrayal of wrathful , unhinged puritanism bordering on madness may make some cynics howl with laughter at its campy excess .\nthe significance of genesis 3 : 15 for the passion of the christ doesn\u2019t end with the opening scene . it can also be seen , less strikingly but more pervasively , in the film\u2019s approach to mary the mother of jesus .\nin its most extreme form , the charge of morbidity has been laid at the feet of the christian faith itself . christianity\u2019s harshest critics denounce it as\na religion of death .\nclearly , at some point objections of this sort must be regarded as a case in point of what the scriptures call the\nscandal\nof the cross . it is the cross itself , the very suffering and dying of god made man , and the way christians respond to this event in their faith and devotion , that is behind much ( though again not all ) of the religious and anti - religious controversy over the brutality of this particular film .\nit is also possible , although extremely far - fetched , to see \u201cstations of the cross\u201d as a genuinely religious work exalting self - deprivation in pursuit of eternal life . each of the film\u2019s 14 scenes was filmed in a single take and illustrates a different station in a traditional roman catholic sequence of images depicting jesus on the day of his crucifixion . the movie throws a crumb to true believers in what appears to be a miracle wrought by maria near the end of the movie . or is it just a sarcastic tease ?\ncrucially , although the film invites us to view the wasting torments of its heroine as a form of institutionalised child abuse , german co - writer anna br\u00fcggemann and her director brother , dietrich , are careful not to be doctrinal . those wishing to find perverse evidence of transcendence will not be thwarted \u2013 like lars von trier\u2019s breaking the waves ( a movie i detest ) , stations of the cross appears to acknowledge the miraculous , even as it descends into hell on earth .\nthe most important awards at the berlinale are the golden bear and the silver bears . they are presented by the international jury to films in the competition and belong to the most renowned awards in the international film industry .\ndivided into 14 chapters that carry the names of the stations ( jesus is condemned to death , jesus carries his cross\u2026 ) , the film chronicles the tough spot that 14 - year - old protagonist maria - - what\u2019s in a name ? - - finds herself in as she prepares for her confirmation and tries to follow the rules and live up to the impossible expectations set by her priest and her family , who belong to the extremely strict ( fictitious ) society of st . paul congregation .\nbut clearly some of the accusations thrown at the film might as well be directed against christian belief and practice as well .\nwatching it is an act of self - flagellation ,\nfumes one film critic . well , what if it is ? mortification of the flesh has a long and venerable history in christian spirituality .\nhowever , critics who condemn the film without recognizing its basis in western sacred art and spiritual tradition are condemning what they don\u2019t understand . criticisms about the film\u2019s general lack of well - developed characterizations and exaggerated stereotypes , for example , miss the point as much as those that object to the violence .\nthe original dvd edition of the passion of the christ was a \u201cbare bones\u201d edition featuring only the film itself . this week\u2019s two - disc \u201cdefinitive edition\u201d is packed with extras , from the passion recut ( which trims about six minutes of some of the most intense violence ) to four separate commentaries .\nbut the catholic significance of the passion of the christ for the evangelical community goes beyond mere identification of the gospel with the catholic tradition . as non - catholics watch the film , they will begin to sense , permeating the gospel of grace they know and love , a sensibility at work that may at first seem strange to them .\nfor starters , stations is just an astonishingly well made film . the central conceit is that maria\u2019s week is depicted in 14 scenes \u2013 one for each of the stations \u2013 and each scene is just one shot . to contextualise that , if you think about any conversation you see in a film , there are at the very least three angles , one for each face and one showing both of them , and the scene will continually cut between them . any scene in a film is made up of several shots edited together to give an impression of a coherent progression , and allows the director to choose exactly which part of the action you see . in recent years , big budget cinema has often taken this to extremes by cutting every two seconds during action sequences so you can\u2019t tell what\u2019s happening . the opposite is something like hitchcock\u2019s rope , which looks like it is all just one shot , or russian ark , which actually is all one shot . stations , then , is unusual in its pacing and form , and while it may tax those whose minds wander during a 30 minute sermon , the formal , measured approach of the 14 shots lends the film real power .\nthese marian themes , along with the divine mercy allusion in the piercing of christ\u2019s side , are just two aspects of a strongly catholic spirituality that pervades the film . in this connection , one of the most interesting aspects of the film\u2019s reception is how eagerly it has been embraced by non - catholic christians who in many cases might otherwise be disposed to respond to such catholic ideas and sensibilities with suspicion or hostility .\nspecial features on the dvd include a director ' s commentary , why we selected , and short film ,\none shot .\nnot that the passion of the christ is an anti - protestant tract . far from it . the film focuses to a great extent on what unites christians , not what divides us . its central theme \u2014 the belief that the son of god for our salvation suffered and was crucified , died and was buried , and rose from the dead \u2014 is shared by catholic and non - catholic christians . protestant believers witnessing the film will in large measure see their own faith reflected in it , and will rightly regard the film as an affirmation of their own beliefs .\nthis detached quality is further reinforced by filming each chapter in a single take , something brueggemann already experimented with in his debut film , neun szenen , and by not moving the camera except at just a handful of key moments . this lends a stilted quality to alexander sass \u2019s photography that invites audiences to examine the images as if they were indeed stations of the cross on a church wall that could impart important ( if not entirely unambiguous ) moral lessons , which seems entirely appropriate .\nas stations of the cross so vividly demonstrates , the theological understanding that separates humans from god is one that contends that the world itself is a dog - eat - dog place ruled by demonic powers ; it therefore can bring only suffering and pain . wendell berry reacted to this understanding in this way :\nperhaps the greatest disaster of human history is one that happened to or within religion : that is the conceptual division between the holy and the world , the excerpting of the creator from creation .\nthe point here is not that one necessarily has to be familiar with catholic devotional art in order to grasp the heart of the meaning of the passion of the christ . viewers who have appreciated the film include non - catholics , non - christians , non - religious viewers , even agnostics and atheists .\nwhile the film ' s craftsmanship and experimental form go some way toward mitigating the convenient plotting and confused point of view , wrapping the whole in craw - sticking sanctimony is a sin too far for forgiveness .\nthe two rays denote blood and water . the pale ray stands for the water which makes souls righteous . the red ray stands for the blood which is the life of souls . these two rays issued forth from the depths of my tender mercy when my agonized heart was opened by a lance on the cross\u2026 happy is the one who will dwell in their shelter , for the just hand of god shall not lay hold of him .\nhis chillingly austere tale of a young woman driven toward self - destruction by an oppressively stringent religious upbringing offers a piercing examination of the interplay between fundamental dogma and family dysfunction , spiritual sacrifice and societal self - harm . presented with ritual formality as a series of static camera tableaux chaptered according to the stations of the cross , this boasts a defining aesthetic as rigidly constrained as the orthodoxies it portrays . yet within the theatrical space of its extended takes , the cast find space to live and breathe with a naturalism that packs a hefty emotional punch .\nit doesn\u2019t take a religious scholar to recognize that the first shot of stations of the cross has been framed to vaguely resemble leonardo da vinci\u2019s the last supper . vaguely , because there are seven figures instead of a baker\u2019s dozen , and some of them are facing inward instead of outward . but the familiar arrangement and nature of the imagery\u2014disciplines gathered around a holy man at a table\u2014is unmistakable . the holy man , in this case , is a catholic priest delivering his final lesson to a group of young students on the brink of confirmation . as it will quickly become clear , however , he is not the christ figure in the room , despite his prominent placement at the center of the table and frame . that role belongs instead to the pale , quiet girl sitting to his right , intently absorbing his stern parting lecture on her responsibility to the church and the slippery slope to damnation . over the hundred or so minutes that follow , she\u2019ll have her own cross to bear , the heavy sense of spiritual duty she shoulders on the road to martyrdom .\nthere\u2019s also the way the film presents jesus\u2019 last words to his mother and the beloved disciple from the cross \u2014\nwoman , behold your son\u2026 son , behold\u2026 your mother\n\u2014 with that meaningful pause before the last two words . add to this the way peter early on refers to mary as\nmother ,\nand it\u2019s clear that the passion holds up mary as a mother figure to all jesus\u2019 disciples .\ntold in fourteen fixed - angle , single shot , individual tableaus that parallel christ ' s journey to his own crucifixion , stations of the cross is both an indictment of fundamentalist faith and the articulation of an impressionable teen ' s struggle to find her own path in life . though from the outside maria lives in the modern world , her family and her heart are faithful to a catholic radicalism that requires sacrifice and devotion at every turn . as she struggles to balance her own desires with the dictates of her family ' s faith , she makes ever more perilous sacrifices , attempting to please a god she worships unquestioningly in the pious hopes of curing the autistic younger brother she adores . ( c ) film movement\nwell , let\u2019s rewind a bit , and start with both the plot and an egregious name drop . stations of the cross \u2013 an award winning german drama that is unlikely to hit your multiplex any time soon \u2013 tells the story of a girl , maria , who develops unhealthy ideas about god after buying into the dogmatic teachings of her sect of catholicism , the society of st pius xii . it follows her in the week leading up to her confirmation as she deals with guilt , ostracism and ill health because of these ideas . it\u2019s a display of legalism so destructive the pharisees would blush , embodied in particular by maria\u2019s mother and priest . yet the director , dietrich br\u00fcggemann , assured me that it wasn\u2019t an anti religious film , saying that religion is only destructive \u201cif you take it too seriously . \u201d yet the chances are that if you read thinktheology , you take your faith pretty seriously . so what do we make of a film where the church is clearly villainous ? and why do i consider this apparent attack on christianity to be one of the best films of the year ?\nreviewed at berlin film festival ( competing ) , feb . 9 , 2014 . running time : 110 min . original title : \u201ckreuzweg\u201d\nthis complete opposition of mary and satan is evoked in an imaginative and poetic way in the passion of the christ in a number of scenes . one such moment occurs as jesus carries his cross through the midst of the crowd , with mary anxiously following him on one side and the tempter on the other side , mirroring and thus opposing her . another takes place during the scourging at the pillar , as satan manifests himself in a vision that amounts to a hideous parody of images of the madonna and child .\nthe passion of the christ has been widely hailed by non - catholic christians as an evangelistic tool . in light of the film\u2019s catholic themes , there might be said to be a sense in which evangelicals and fundamentalists themselves are also among those being evangelized .\nwhile the story is more extreme than most of us are likely to experience , stations perfectly portrays the way false teaching can have destructive influences . maria \u2013 played with astonishing nuance by lea van acken \u2013 does not start out with the anxieties and beliefs that she ends the films with . it is over the course of the 14 stations that a spirit of legalism enters her thinking like the grain of yeast that jesus warned about in matthew 16 . a graceless scolding by her irate mother here , and a guilt - laden confession there , all leavening her thinking until the meaning of the cross is lost behind the idea that she can save herself \u2013 and others . it\u2019s also a warning against those of us who are more prone to think like her mother or priest . it\u2019s not pointing the camera at a christian and saying \u2018aren\u2019t they silly ? \u2019 instead , it follows the journey of a girl who is tragically misguided , and asks the question of how she got to that place . ultimately , the film is as compassionate as it is critical , balancing the anger with a humanity that , while never really warm , makes the audience care about the characters and leaves them with a mustard seed\u2019s amount of hope .\nthe main action in the passion of the christ consists of a man being horrifically beaten , mutilated , tortured , impaled , and finally executed . the film is grueling to watch \u2014 so much so that some critics have called it offensive , even sadistic , claiming that it fetishizes violence . pointing to similar cruelties in gibson\u2019s earlier films , such as the brutal execution of william wallace in braveheart , critics allege that the film reflects an unhealthy fascination with gore and brutality on gibson\u2019s part .\nthe form of the film is inextricably tied to the questions it is asking , and stations is immensely important because of it . br\u00fcggemann was right when he said it is not an attack on religion ; it\u2019s far more complex than that . the film makes it clear that maria\u2019s experience is not representative of christianity as a whole , setting her apart even from the other catholics in her town . yet her questions are similar to those asked by anyone of faith : how to respond to sin and guilt ; the relationship between sickness and god\u2019s healing ; what it means to \u201ctake up your cross . \u201d at the very least it is simply refreshing to see cinema that tackles complex questions in mature ways , and treats faith as something worthy of exploring beyond a comedy sidekick or a bigoted villain . beyond that , however , the frank discussions of deep theological issues should cause us to confront our own ideas , particularly the way legalism can creep into our lives .\ngibson\u2019s point in depicting the roman soldier ( who is identified with the chastened centurion traditionally called longinus who declared jesus to be son of god and whose subsequent conversion is the subject of the film the robe ) showered in the blood and water from christ\u2019s side is the same as st . faustina\u2019s in saying\nhappy is the one who will dwell in the shelter\nof the red and white rays that represent that same blood and water .\nthis opening image of satan there in the garden , tempting jesus , the second adam , recalls another scene from the opening chapters of the scriptures , the temptation of the first adam in another garden , eden . gibson even uses a literal serpent , strengthening the genesis 3 resonance \u2014 and also , perhaps , alluding to what is probably the only other film to use a literal serpent in depicting christ being tempted , namely , the last temptation of christ .\nlike the angels ( and demons ) which legendarily attend the sick and the dying , a number of movies float like spectral apparitions around stations of the cross . although comparisons with carl dreyer seem apposite ( and bruno dumont\u2019s 2009 hadewijch makes an intriguing companion piece ) , i was more acutely reminded of the heart - breaking horrors of hans - christian schmid\u2019s 2006 requiem , which presented a bleak portrait of a young woman whose conflicted faith leads her to believe that she is possessed by demons . as with its gaudy hollywood counterpart the exorcism of emily rose , schmid\u2019s movie was inspired by the real - life case of the \u201cpossessed\u201d anneliese michel , a tragic figure whose long shadow stretches ( via the remote romanian wilds of cristian mungiu\u2019s comparable beyond the hills ) across this similarly unsettling yet deeply compassionate piece .\nthe only solace this sensitive teenager has is taking care of johannes and being comforted by bernadette ( lucie aron ) , the french au pair . dealing with her mother ' s harsh attacks on her is a modern - day example of the troubling ways in which someone can carry a cross .\ndirected by dietrich br\u00fcggemann ; written by anna br\u00fcggemann and mr . br\u00fcggemann ; director of photography , alexander sass ; edited by vincent assmann ; costumes by bettina marx ; produced by jochen laube ; released by film movement . in german , with english subtitles . running time : 1 hour 47 minutes . this film is not rated .\nas imagined here , jesus\u2019 agony in the garden harkens back to two earlier events in salvation history : the temptation in the wilderness , and the garden of eden . the agony in the garden and the temptation in the wilderness are the two ordeals at either end of christ\u2019s public ministry in which he was ministered to by angels , but gibson\u2019s film , like other recent dramatizations ( e . g . , the miracle maker ) , omits the angels , instead depicting satan returning to tempt jesus , testing him on the eve of his passion just as he did at the outset of his public ministry .\na thought - provoking and profoundly disturbing film that exposes the harmful side of religion and faith , directed with a noteworthy formal rigor in mostly static long takes and with a skillful mise - en - sc\u00e8ne that underlines the overwhelming pressure that the protagonist is living under .\nin recent years , festival director dieter kosslick has invited internationally recognised personalities from the world of film such as james schamus , wong kar wai , mike leigh , isabella rossellini , werner herzog , tilda swinton , darren aronofsky , meryl streep and paul verhoeven to head the seven - member jury . jury members include directors , actresses and actors as well as producers , but also writers and artists . one of the festive highpoints of every berlinale is the presentation of the bears on the penultimate day of the festival .\nas i contemplate mel gibson\u2019s the passion of the christ , the sequence i keep coming back to , again and again , is the scourging at the pillar .\nmaria is 14 years old . her family is part of a fundamentalist catholic community . maria lives her everyday life in the modern world , yet her heart belongs to jesus . she wants to follow him , to become a saint and go to heaven - just like all those holy children she ' s always been told about . so maria goes through 14 stations , just like jesus did on his path to golgatha , and reaches her goal in the end . not even christian , a boy she meets at school , can stop her , even if in another world , they might have become friends , or even more . left behind is a broken family that finds comfort in faith , and the question if all these events were really so inevitable . stations of the cross is an indictment and , at the same time , the legend of a saint . it ' s a story of religion , devotion and radical faith , and the film itself comes along just as radical as the subject matter , telling the story in only 14 fixed - angle long shots , allowing the viewer to contemplate the interactions on screen in an . . .\nthe iconoclastic danish filmmaker lars von trier has stated that\nall good cinema should be\nlike a stone in your shoe .\ncertainly breaking the waves is an example of his practicing what he preaches . john michael mcdonagh ' s calvary is another film that raises more questions than it answers as it circles around a priest whose life and ministry are in jeopardy . of gods and men is a deeply human french film about the mission and sacrifice of seven catholic monks in algeria whose lives are threatened by fundamentalists .\n\u201ci\u2019m telling you that thing upstairs is not my daughter , \u201d says chris macneil in the exorcist , a film that offered a reassuringly archaic portrait of good and evil during a time of secular uncertainty and strife . here , that template is turned upon its head , the holy ghost ( rather than the demon pazuzu ) wafting its unhealing wings over the body of a child , leaving adults to squabble about the definition of deity and audiences to decide whether or not they hear the voice of god .\ntake a scene that is one of the film\u2019s most inspired yet least observed moments , the centurion piercing the dead christ\u2019s side with a lance , releasing a flow of blood and water . in other depictions , the blood and water are often shown trickling or oozing down his side . gibson , though , depicts a spray of blood and water gushing from christ\u2019s side and showering down on the startled centurion .\nas the film moves from station to station , it becomes increasingly clear that the strict rules and expectations are a heavy burden for maria , who wants to do the right thing and longs to be close to god but who cannot deny she has desires of her own . brueggemann , who wrote the screenplay with his sister , anna , beautifully suggests how religion can offer a crutch or comfort in hard times but at the same time can be suffocating any kind of personal growth , which is especially problematic for a teenager . the siblings\u2019 own religious upbringing no - doubt influenced the careful and very realistic way in which the material is treated , with the film never outright condemning religion but instead coolly observing the devastating results of simply following the rules imposed by religion to the letter .\nkeen eyed observers of cinema will have noticed that films this year have been especially critical of religion . john michael mcdonagh\u2019s calvary showed a priest unable to answer the soul - searching questions that his community asked of faith , with an undercurrent of anger against the paedophilia scandal that has rocked the catholic church . andrei zvyagintsev\u2019s leviathan was both an expos\u00e9 of the corrupt links between the russian orthodox church and putin\u2019s politics , and a meditation on suffering for which the church seemingly has no answers . like stations of the cross , they are upsetting , sometimes difficult films to watch , and yet all three will inevitably feature in my top 10 of 2014 . films that view faith as legalistic , corrupt and helpless in the face of suffering can be difficult for christians to watch , and these films certainly won\u2019t be to everyone\u2019s taste . yet this is important cinema , not only because it reveals the anger and urgency of questions that people are asking , but because it is some of europe\u2019s most inventive and creative minds asking them .\ngibson\u2019s archetypal characterizations , from the senselessly brutal laughter of the almost orc - like centurions to the implacable hostility of the jewish elders , are in the same tradition as the archetypal and grotesque figures in the sometimes graphically violent sacred art of , for example , matthias gr\u00fcnewald , hieronymus bosch , and pieter bruegel the elder . ( the pbs documentary the face [ jesus in art ] , partly narrated by gibson , includes a segment on the historic portrayal of christ\u2019s sufferings that may prove enlightening to critics who missed the intervening 2000 years between the gospel accounts and the passion of the christ . )\nfor gibson , mary and satan are antithetical , opposed images , reflecting the total opposition of wills , the\nenmity\nthat exists between the immaculate conception and the enemy of mankind .\nto the extent that the film is a call to conversion , though , it is a call to everyone , catholic and non - catholic , believer and nonbeliever . to those who believe , catholic or otherwise , the passion of the christ invites us to a deeper commitment to our lord jesus christ , and a deeper participation in the paschal mystery of his passion , death , and resurrection .\ni read a review you wrote in the national catholic register about mel gibson\u2019s film apocalypto . i thoroughly enjoy reading the register and from time to time i will brouse through your movie reviews to see what you have to say about the content of recent films , opinions i usually not only agree with but trust .\nmany will avoid this film for religious reasons , which would be a shame , because in the end it is not so much about religion ( in this case , conservative catholics in germany ) as childhood , innocence and idealism , and the psychopathology of mental cruelty . maria is a devout catholic awaiting confirmation and like many young adolescents , deeply idealistic and principled . this would be fine but she has a cruel , controlling mother ( whose motivation is shockingly revealed at the end ) , and the combination is deadly . it is engrossing and heartbreaking and not completely implausible . one wonders whether the director is being autobiographical but it will be a revelation to many that catholic orthodoxy of this kind still prevails in parts of rural germany . the film ' s other triumph is that it never judges , only observes , so there is nothing to offend a conservative catholic here . that won ' t stop anti - christian elements seeing the film as a denunication of religion , of course .\nto some viewers , this shot may have looked like no more than a burst of gratuitous gore , just another moment of maximized violence drama from a violence - obsessed director . that the image was not gibson\u2019s invention \u2014 it comes from one of his inspirational sources , the visionary writings of venerable anne catherine emmerich \u2014 may not much mend matters , since many critics of gibson\u2019s film are as suspicious of traditional catholic piety and of anne catherine emmerich in particular as of gibson , and in any case may still be unable to see spiritual meaning in what seems a gratuitously gory image .\nthese establishing lines , delivered in the opening scene , provide key context for the rest of the film . first , jesus means to take upon himself the weight or burden of our sins . second , this will prove to be a hideous ordeal . third , he accepts this ordeal out of love for us \u2014 that is , he rejects the tempter\u2019s suggestion that mankind is\nnot worth this\n; to him , manifestly , we are . this is the context in which every subsequent blow , every laceration , every fall of the hammer must be seen .\nother critics , including some christians , have gone still further , charging not only gibson but certain forms of christian piety with a morbid obsession with blood and death . for example , writing before the film\u2019s release in 2003 , then - evangelical writer michael coren commented :\nthe temptation scene also serves to establish the meaning , the purpose and goal , of everything that follows . ironically , just as the temptations in the wilderness implicitly bear witness to christ\u2019s divinity (\nif you are the son of god\u2026\n) , so here it\u2019s the tempter\u2019s insinuations that indicate the nature of jesus\u2019 mission :\ndo you think you can bear the weight of the world\u2019s sins ? they aren\u2019t worth this . the burden is too great . no man can bear it .\nhowever , your recent review of apocalypto was way off the mark . first of all the gore of mel gibson\u2019s films are only to make them more realistic , and if you think that is too much , then you don\u2019t belong watching a movie that can actually acurately show the suffering that people go through . the violence of the ancient mayans can make your stomach turn just reading about it , and all gibson wanted to do was accurately portray it . it would do you good to read up more about the ancient mayans and you would discover that his film may not have even done justice itself to the kind of suffering ancient tribes went through at the hands of their hostile enemies .\nto understand the real meaning of the image , it is useful to compare it with a well - known image in catholic devotional iconography , the well - known divine mercy image , based on the visions of st . faustina helena kowalska , which depicts christ with rays of red and white light emanating from his side . here is the explanation of the red and white rays from faustina\u2019s own account of christ\u2019s words in the vision :"]}

the largest of its kind in the northwest - shows scenes from toledo ' s history , including newman and fonda being filmed , and\nsometimes a great notion\non the marquee of the downtown ross theater , which was torn down years ago .\nit ' s not a great film , nor is it what the trade likes to describe as an east side film , that is , something that exhibits a kind of white\u2010collar starchiness towards the idea of manual labor or sweaty physical efort of any sort .\nken kesey\u2019s novel , sometimes a great notion ( 1964 ) , is a complex and integrated historical background and relationship study of the stamper family , a prideful logging clan living in wakonda , oregon . this big story involves a man , his family , a town , the country , a period of time , and the effects of time . all of the elements of the novel including its characters , events , settings , symbols , and so on , are integrated and oriented toward the themes of independence , individualism , and self - sufficiency . the novel teaches that a person should have the right to try to be as big as he believes it is in him to be . sometimes a great notion was made into a 1971 film directed by and starring paul newman . in britain this film about generations of loggers was called never give an inch .\nlast year , i approached dale and shawrron searls , owners of the big o , about screening the film in the bar to promote my book about its production , \u201csometimes a great movie : paul newman , ken kesey and the filming of the great oregon novel . \u201d they enthusiastically agreed , and we staged the event on a thursday night in late january .\nnot long after the great day -

selling novel about a two - fisted oregon lumber family , the story focuses on a family that bucks their close - knit timber community in order to deliver a shipment of logs in defiance of a strike . in the process , one man is killed , the family patriarch henry ( henry fonda ) is injured , and the eldest son hank ( paul newman ) almost loses his wife ( lee remick ) to his half brother ( michael sarrazin ) . filled with complex characters and issues that still resonate today , sometimes a great notion is an intense portrait of life set against the backdrop of logging .\nastoria writer matt love , author of sometimes a great movie : paul newman , ken kesey and the filming of the great oregon novel , will introduce the movie and take questions after the screening . he will also discuss new revelations about the legend of whether newman cut the legs off a tavern pool table with a chainsaw during the production .\non thursday , feb . 26 , the big o saloon will reprise its public screening of \u201csometimes a great notion . \u201d the movie , adapted from ken kesey\u2019s epic novel about a defiant family of loggers , starred paul newman and was filmed on the central oregon coast during the summer of 1970 . the film was released in 1971 to an indifferent nationwide audience but remains a cult classic in the pacific northwest , particularly in logging / timber communities .\nthree days after hearing this fantastic story , i set out to corroborate its veracity . first i made a day trip to the toledo area , hit every bar and tavern and asked around about sometimes a great notion , the movie , and the alleged newman madness . no one had heard of it , but they all thought it could be true .\nit can also be said that kesey\u2019s life became his art . after notion he gravitated more to public performances , often in collaboration with various pranksters . the spontaneous creation of art through theatre and music had a great appeal for him .\nin any case , sometimes a great notion was not registered for copyright by universal pictures and newman - foreman co . , inc . until 17 december 1971 . if it had actually opened in december 1970 , universal and paul newman would not have let a $ 4 million major production go without copyright protection for nearly a year while it played around the country for all of 1971 .\nlast month , the center held a gathering to recall the film . twenty -

establishment until the end of his days .\nbut then newman starts tunneling under the material , coming up with all sorts of things we didn ' t quite expect , and along the way he proves himself ( as he did with\nrachel , rachel\n) as a director of sympathy and a sort of lyrical restraint . he rarely pushes scenes to their obvious conclusions , he avoids melodrama , and by the end of\nsometimes a great notion ,\nwe somehow come to know the stamper family better than we expected to .\nas i drank in the bayhaven , asking patrons their opinions on sometimes a great notion , the novel and movie , a thickly bearded man wearing a baseball cap emerged from an alcove sheltering the video poker machines and moved toward me holding a hamm\u2019s can . he sat next to me at the bar and said he had a story about the movie . a story about paul newman . would i like to hear it ? yes , i would . i ordered him another hamm\u2019s . he appeared anywhere from 40 - 70 years old , or what i call ota , oregon tavern age .\nsometimes a great notion\nis no classic . filmed five years earlier than\ncuckoo ' s nest\nin newport and elsewhere along the oregon coast , it is best known for an incredible scene in which joe ben stamper ( richard jaeckel ) is trapped by a log and the incoming tide despite the best efforts of his cousin hank ( paul newman ) to rescue him . the movie is also the answer to a trivia question : what is the first program to be broadcast on hbo ?\nthe oregon press offered uniformly positive reviews when sometimes a great notion came out , but to me , it is a mediocre movie , unimaginatively adapted . newman and screenwriter john gay obviously read the novel and tried to conjure a coherent theme from a biblical work of fiction punctuated with manic stretches of stream - of - consciousness and multiple narrators ( including a dog ) . but they failed . the movie is also marred by a terribly dubbed audio track and murky cinematography . if any scene remains memorable , it\u2019s the harrowing sequence where jaeckel\u2019s character is pinned under a log as a rising estuarine tide drowns him while newman tries to cut him free .\nwas based on the ken kesey novel of the same name , the first of his books to be adapted into a film . the\nlove has\nsometimes a great notion\nevents scheduled around the state over the next few months . at 7 : 30 p . m . may 25 , he ' ll be at powell ' s city of books , 1005 w . burnside st . , along with a chain saw . at 6 : 30 p . m . may 26 , there will be a screening of the movie at the hollywood theatre , 4122 n . e . sandy blvd . a question -

written , including personal accounts from folks that were in the film and around during the filming that are interesting ; stories that make this history lesson one worth remembering and keeping alive . this is exactly what the author does with this book , matt love has a way of keeping the fun in oregon history , his passion for this is apparent . if you haven ' t seen him read yet , you ought to catch one of his upcoming shows . did i mention that he prints his books locally ?\nthis film was the first movie ever shown on hbo when the service premiered in 1972 . see more \u00bb\nfarrington thought people in new york or some other metropolis wouldn ' t understand the oregon the film captured .\n33 . tangerines : this is estonia\u2019s nomination in the foreign film category , though the film takes place in georgia , where , we are told , estonians emigrated once , only to return to their native land when armed conflicts began besieging the former soviet republics . tangerines is an interesting blend of new trends in the foreign film category ( toward tougher , bleaker films ) and old ones ( it wraps itself in a poetic ending that is maybe a little pat ) . nomination : best foreign language film\nan interview with writer / director boots riley about his incendiary new film ,\nsorry to bother you .\ni liked this film . got to see it on uk tv in mid 70s . it rarely airs now .\n22 . ida : many years , a foreign film is so acclaimed that it manages to get some spillover attention in the other categories . and while ida\u2019s black -

powerful frame from his wrestling days , his calloused hands from hard work on his farm , and his sideburns . the sideburns and the jut of his jaw \u2013 suggesting that he was , in fact , hank stamper .\n46 . parvaneh : the story of a young afghan woman seeking asylum in switzerland . a sweet , generous film that doesn\u2019t make a very big impact , relative to its competition . nomination : best live -

yes , i would . a few minutes later i held an approximately 100 - page file containing newspaper and magazine clippings of local , state and national stories about the film\u2019s production . there were even articles from the los angeles times and a trade publication called chain saw age , which featured newman on the cover wielding a mcculloch beast with what looked like a 60 - inch bar ! the museum director told me that someone had compiled this file back in 1970 - 71 and turned it over to the museum years ago . to her knowledge , no one had ever looked at it . i paid her $ 50 on the spot to copy the entire file for me . i read it all later that night .\n42 . a single life : the elasticity of styles that can be found among the animated shorts every year makes it one of my favorite categories . with a single life , you get a cute little story about a woman who finds she can advance her life forward and backward with the needle on a record player . the entire film is two and a half minutes long . nomination : best animated short\na tribute to the late tab hunter , a gay matinee idol and hollywood trailblazer .\n32 . butter lamp : it takes a while to get used to what\u2019s going on in butter lamp , which depicts a photographer setting up group shots of tibetans in front of various backgrounds . the poignancy , humor , and thoughtfulness of the setups ( the great wall , disney world ) add up to something more like a conceptual art project , reminiscent of the far heavier the missing picture , nominated in foreign language film last year . nomination : best live - action short\na member of british intelligence assumes a fictitious criminal identity and allows himself to be caught , imprisoned , and freed in order to infiltrate a spy organization and expose a traitor .\nin his spare time , henry fonda sketched watercolors and collected agates . he bought himself a tumbler to polish his rocks . he also worried about the \u201csensibilities\u201d of old trees cut down for the film .\nsomeone is going to lose an arm , or worse , but we keep reading , sometimes afraid of what is going to happen , but unable to stop . the story builds relentlessly from its initial image .\nshifting the action of the story to a completely different character as well as a different locality in just a short piece of dialogue .\n52 . the imitation game : for a while there , people really thought harvey weinstein was going to be able to muscle this one to a best picture win , through his usual mix of chutzpah and blunt - force marketing . better luck ( with a better film ?

[ the film has the remarkable distinction of having the longest title of any nominated film in academy history . ]\n35 . wild tales : if wild tales had been an english - language movie , there\u2019s no way it would even get close to an oscar nomination . this series of vignettes\u2014most of them darkly comedic , most of them circling a theme of vengeance\u2014plays like lesser tarantino and would probably be brushed off as a popcorn movie and nothing more . but in a foreign language film race where so many entries are solemn , thoughtful , slow affairs , wild tales plays like a hugely refreshing change of pace . nomination : best foreign language film\nin june 1970 , the biggest movie star in the world traveled to the oregon coast to film an epic novel about a defiant family of loggers written by a home grown counterculture hero . the star was paul newman . the author was ken kesey . the story was\na radio station in the deep south becomes the focal point of a right - wing conspiracy .\n21 . still alice : throughout awards season , this movie has been treated solely as a julianne moore vehicle . a car service , in particular . one that picks her up from the airport and drives her directly to the best actress oscar she so richly deserves . but it\u2019s too bad the rest of the movie couldn\u2019t get a little love , for its smart and sensitive storytelling , or for its great supporting performances from kristen stewart and alec baldwin . moore still towers over the film , but it\u2019s a shame that the academy couldn\u2019t look beyond her . nomination : best actress\n25 . two days , one night : jean - pierre and luc dardenne have never once been nominated for a foreign film oscar . not even this year . but through a clever bit of noncampaigning ( every time marion cotillard didn\u2019t show up at a precursor event , some critic would write about what a shame it was she was being passed over ) , their film managed to snag a mention in one of the big four categories . that\u2019s not bad . hopefully it leads to more people seeing this quiet , powerful movie about a woman going door to door in her community to try and save her job . nomination : best actress\n8 . begin again : writer / director john carney\u2019s follow - up to once didn\u2019t receive the acclaim that its predecessor did , though it ended up getting the exact same oscar nomination . ( \u201clost stars\u201d probably won\u2019t win like \u201cfalling slowly\u201d did . ) i spent much of this film marveling that i wasn\u2019t more irritated by this story of a down - and - out music producer ( mark ruffalo ) who discovers a sad singer -

skeleton metaphor about how the cross - contamination of government and business is too big a monster to fight . i\u2019m pretty sure i got it . nomination : best foreign language film\nbut somehow , this bomb of a movie took in $ 133 million in its opening weekend . not only does that total beat the better - reviewed deadpool ( 84 percent on rotten tomatoes ) , which i loved , it smashed the august box office records previously set in 2014 by guardians of the galaxy , which i really loved . and this doesn\u2019t seem to be a fluke : deadline reports suicide squad is posting great weekday numbers , beating even the vaunted captain america : civil war for a tuesday box -

because kim morgan\u2019s excellent blog , sunset gun , told me it\u2019s a masterpiece . she makes several important points that seem pretty plausible :\none of the most striking elements of something wild , jack garfein\u2019s psychologically complex examination of trauma and attachment , is the 1960s new york city its distressed characters inhabit . shot by eugen sch\u00fcfftan , an oscar - winning german cinema\u2026\njack garfein had made his debut as film director with end as a man ( 1957 ) . he formed a company , prometheus productions , with his wife carroll baker . it obtained film rights to mary ann the first novel of alex karmel , published in 1958 . karmel and garfein wrote the script , and united artists agreed to finance . it was originally called something wild in the city .\nchampioned it , writing that the movie was the\nmost interesting american film of the quarter ; it may become the most underestimated film of the year .\nwhat a powerful and disturbing and mysterious film . [ spoilers abound below . ]\nsomething wild was an independent film , financed by garfein and baker themselves . they had some heavy - hitters on board . saul bass did the opening credits sequence , a jarring and flashy urban collage , throwing us into the over - stimulated atmosphere of urban life , the elevated trains plunging into tunnels repeatedly , a clear sexualization of the landscape .\nmultitalented artist , he is the author of two both politically and artistically challenging films that did not spare hollywood\u2019s conservatism and led to censorship . in the strange one ( 1957 ) , he tackled the question of racism in america . as a jewish holocaust survivor , he was deeply shocked by the segregation at his arrival in the us and he fought for the right for african - american actors to be featured in the film . the strange one was also censored by the motion picture production code for general \u201chomosexual overtones\u201d , and \u201cexcessive brutality and suggestive sequences [ that ] tend to arouse disrespect for lawful authority\u201d . in his second film , something wild ( 1961 ) , derived from alex karmel\u2019s novel mary ann , he similarly tackled the studios\u2019 conventions by formally depicting rape . the film , starring garfein\u2019s then wife carroll baker , was later described by garfein as a metaphor for his spiritual journey . the film also raises questions of race and class in america . something wild features an original score by aaron copland , the title sequence by saul bass , and the photography by eugen sch\u00fcfftan .\nalso , for credit sequence completists ,\nsomething wild\ncontains perhaps the rarest and arguably one of the best title sequences from frequent alfred hitchcock and otto preminger collaborator saul bass . a tightly constructed mesh of urban images , intersecting lines , cutting tempo and motion , bass ' s titles set up the film better than the story ultimately acquits itself .\nthe blu - ray something wild arrives from criterion with artwork created using a still from the film , when mary ann has a panic attack on a train . although the scene is one of the film ' s more memorable moments , it doesn ' t work nearly as well as a still image as it does in the film itself , and as a piece of imagery , it ' s a bit boring . the one - disc release comes in criterion ' s standard transparent scanavo blu - ray case , and inside there is a fold out booklet featuring an essay on the film by critic sheila o ' malley .\nwarner archives has brought it out in a limited edition dvd ( sold on amazon ) , and i can\u2019t put it more plainly : seek out this extraordinary film . while comparisons can be made with other films , most obviously with roman polanski\u2019s repulsion , those comparisons post - date the film\u2019s release , showing something wild \u2018s pioneering spirit . while watching it , i got impressionistic flashes from literature or fairy tales . bluebeard\u2019s castle . hansel and gretl . sleeping beauty . all of those terrifying stories of entrapment , and lost innocence . of love being interchangeable from jealousy and a desire to control . of helplessness . something wild is one of the most understanding , harrowing , and insightful portrayals of rape\u2019s aftermath that i have ever seen in cinema .\nsomething wild ( 1961 ) has nothing to do with the similarly titled well - known 1986 jonathan demme film . in fact before the list of criterion new releases arrived , i frankly confess that i had never even heard of it . how can anyone now claim to have an encyclopedia knowledge of cinema that may have been possible in the limited - release era of the mid - twentieth century , but unlikely today even with secondary sources that the internet now provides ? however , this particular film is a real discovery and criterion again deserve full credit not just for their usual excellent restoration quality but making available again an estimable work of the past that has become unjustly neglected over the years .\nconclusion although the quality of criterion ' s releases has never flagged , the opening of new libraries to licensing deals has led to some higher - profile releases as of late , including dr . strangelove , blood simple , and punch - drunk love . there ' s nothing wrong with that - - for my money , blood simple ranks among the best blu - ray releases by any label in 2016 - - but something wild is a refreshingly undiscovered gem . bursting with relevant sociopolitical commentary and incredibly powerful thanks to carroll baker ' s stunning lead performance , this is a film that deserves to be rediscovered . on the strength of the film alone , much less the small but strong supplemental package , something wild enters the dvdtalk collector ' s series .\nthe film broke boundaries by showing a rape and portraying its emotional aftermath for the protagonist .\nfuture learning and skills \u2013 giving everyone the opportunity to build a lifelong relationship with film .\nin september 2010 , a tribute to garfein was presented in los angeles at the ucla film and television archive at the billy wilder theater which featured screenings of the two feature films he directed , 1957 ' s\nthe strange one\nand 1961 ' s\nsomething wild ,\nwhich stars his ex - wife carroll baker , as well as the documentary\na journey back\nin which he returned to his childhood home and revisited auschwitz . a similar event is scheduled for march 20 & 21 , 2011 at the film forum in new york city hosted by foster hirch , another at the bfi in london , hosted clyde jeavons , and in tel - aviv , jerusalem , and haifa .\nto say this film is less objectionable than the others of its era is , in the end , not to give it many accolades at all . i stick with my earlier position : rape should not be depicted onscreen , as it leads to ( at best ) such a deeply conflicted portrayal as something wild and ( at worst ) an awkwardly titillating depiction of female pain and debasement .\nthe film was never released on dvd or home video . it was shown at new york ' s ifc center in early 2007 , billed as a\nlost indie film classic .\ni had not seen or even heard of jack garfein\u2019s something wild before criterion announced its release . i think my experience will apply to many viewers since the film was essentially dropped from circulation shortly after its initial , disappointing theatrical run . a screening would pop up here and there , but for the most part the film has not been seen in decades . it\u2019s a shame , since the film is a masterpiece of claustrophobia and ambiguity , but thankfully we can all watch it whenever we want now . i think most viewers will be as shocked and pleasantly surprised as i was .\nan enjoyably\narty\nheadscratcher , something wild didn ' t do a thing back in 1961 for mainstream critics who attacked it for its deliberately open - ended dramatics and its intense method sensibilities . based on the novel , mary ann , by alex karmel , something wild was an indie effort by screenwriter and director jack garfein and his big , reluctant hollywood star carroll baker to break away from the glossy ,\nsafe\nmainstream fare that was being offered to the baby doll sensation . both members of the famed actors studio , where they met and married , garfein and baker may have had a limited budget , but that didn ' t stop them from employing top - notch talent for this shoe - string production . renowned composer aaron copland was engaged for the stirring soundtrack ; german cinematographer eugen sch\u00fcfftan , of lang ' s metropolis , gance ' s napol\u00e9on , and rossen ' s the hustler fame , was hired for the starkly evocative lighting , and designer saul bass , whose credit sequences for films like anatomy of a murder and psycho were considered works of art in and of themselves , shot something wild ' s brilliant opening credit scenes .\nanother aspect often discussed in connection with yojimbo is its theatricality . the film is not only very carefully and often artificially choreographed , but the hero of the film also functions as something like a director who prepares and directs the plot towards his intended total destruction of the town . at least , until his antagonist appears in town and complicates issues .\nto start off , let\u2019s not mistake this for the 1986 jonathan demme film with the great soundtrack .\nto get the party started , i have as usual typed up a brief introduction to the film .\nafter yojimbo , we will be watching a fistful of dollars in august . for the full film club schedule and information about the availability of the films that we watch , see the film club page .\nfinal thoughts : a strange mix of realism and dreamy symbolism , played out in a sweltering , grimy new york city . carroll baker ' s portrait of a psychologically tortured rape victim is one of the most honest , vivid ones i ' ve seen within that category , and ralph meeker , excellent as well , pulls off the impossible task of making his shadowy character both charismatically intriguing and repellent\u2015two performers who were sadly undervalued during their careers . sure to piss - off the most dogmatic of the woeful\npolitically correct\nset ( they don ' t enjoy anything ) , something wild ' s strange , illogically romantic spiral down into violence and madness , and eventually love ( ? ) , surely marked it as one of the most unusual dramatic offerings of 1961 . . . and within that context , it ' s still quite arresting today . i ' m highly , highly recommending something wild \u2015a must - see for fans of the stars and this genre . paul mavis is an internationally published film and television historian , a member of the online film critics society , and the author of the espionage filmography\nwas all that heavyweight talent , filtered through a storyline and performances saturated in the method ( which some critics by 1961 were already disparaging as clich\u00e9d and overrated ) , thought by critics to be too much firepower aimed at subject matter that could be viewed by the impatient as either sophomoric and illogical , or even worse , simply pretentious ? it ' s hard to say , but clearly , the makers of something wild deliberately left quite a bit of the movie ambiguous for the viewer to ponder and chew over ( and perhaps never get , quite frankly ) . . . and a lot of mainstream u . s . critics didn ' t like that approach back in 1961 . perhaps it was the clash of something wild ' s two halves\u2015baker ' s assault and subsequent retreat to the flophouse , and then her imprisonment by meeker\u2015with their contrasting tones and aims that grated against the critics . the first half of the film creates a unforgiving semi - documentary exploration of the aftereffects of a rape on a young girl , and her resulting extreme behavioral change , while the second half employs an increasingly tense , dream - like , studio - bound flavor that pits baker and meeker against each other in strange dance of repulsion and attraction in meeker ' s little basement studio apartment .\nanyone who has ever listened to women expressing their frustrations about misogyny and sexism will likely pick up on one thing very quickly : most women share some common ground in the kind of harassment , discrimination , condescension , and assault they ' ve experienced , regardless of age . something wild is a perfect illustration of this perpetual , depressingly familiar struggle , a razor - sharp drama about a woman who is raped and slides into a depression before getting pulled into a second sexual power struggle . it is as emotionally uncompromising about the trauma its protagonist endures as one would expect from a modern movie , yet the film is over 50 years old , released and forgotten by united artists back in 1961 .\ni was clicking through the channels for a movie to watch this morning and came across tcm and something wild . from the second i started watching , which was right after the rape scene , but it was clear what had just happened to her , i was drawn in to the end . this was an amazing and heartbreaking film . it made a huge impression on me . so much so that i had to look it up on the internet to learn more about it . carroll and ralph are awesome . i am going to get this film\u2026\nstay on top of the latest breaking film and tv news ! sign up for our email newsletters here .\nreferred to as\na lost indie classic\n, the film was screened at the ifc center in new york in 2007 , and was released on dvd by mgm through their limited edition series in december 2011 in celebration of the film ' s 50th anniversary . in october 2016 , the criterion collection announced a re - release of the film slated for january 2017 , marking the film ' s debut on blu - ray .\nteresa \u2013 i definitely needed to own it myself . it\u2019s such a rare film , so rarely shown .\nthe relationship between the would - be suicide mary ann and the garage mechanic mike is something wild , indeed . something weird , too . what to make of a relationship which takes place in a dreary basement apartment , between a traumatized rape victim and a sometimes violent , sometimes solicitous man ? what to make of a connection that starts when mike locks mary ann in the apartment , then continues through to a drunken attempted embrace and a shocking high heel to the eye socket , certainly the most memorable and horrifying moment in\nwas not released until 1961 , it was filmed some time before that , possibly as early as 1959 . it was schufftan ' s evocative cinematography of new york , from its lonely , cavernous streets , to the impersonal and formidable skyscrapers , to the seedy neighborhoods , which gave\nit would be nice to be able to say that the response to\nsomething wild\nupon its release was polarized , but in truth , outside of europe it was uniformly panned . as the united artists catalogue has changed hands over the years , the film has virtually vanished from repertory screens . until now , that is . starting today , ifc center will run a new print of ms . baker ' s and mr . garfein ' s collaboration for one week .\nthe criterion collection edition : while i didn\u2019t get into it in the review above , jack garfein is one of the earliest members of the actor studio where many actors famous for \u201cmethod\u201d acting started their careers . something wild brings many of them together and is a supreme example of this particular theory of acting . the criterion supplements cover this aspect in great detail .\ntrevor , thanks for those links . the o\u2019malley piece is an especially good read . i had already found the morgan piece , linked from a more critical discussion of the film i read ( urltoken ) , but even in this one the author is somewhat cautious and wonders about possibly judging the film unfairly . the more negative responses among critics when the film was released and as described was the audience reaction to the copeland requested screening also were not generally ones where people found something problematic about the presentation of the material .\ncarroll baker was married to director jack garfein at the time they made this film ( they divorced in 1969 ) .\nthe extras four supplements are included . the first two are interviews . first , director and co - writer jack garfein ( 26 : 47 ) sits down with critic kim morgan ( who runs the blog sunset gun ) to talk about his history working with lee strasberg and elia kazan at the actors studio , how he came to make something wild , and the film ' s recent re - appreciation among modern viewers ( in part spurned by morgan herself , who programmed the film on turner classic movies in 2010 ) . garfein ' s insight on the end of the film is fascinating , as his point of view on a key character ' s motivation differs from mine ( and perhaps the common interpretation ) , yet the outcome is the same . he also has a strong rapport with morgan thanks to the relationship they formed after she selected the film for tcm . this is followed by an illustrated audio interview with carroll baker ( 15 : 01 ) , in which she discusses her career leading up to and beyond something wild , including working with kazan on baby doll , kissing clark gable , and finishing off with the carpetbaggers . baker is candid and funny , and the piece will be fun for fans of her work .\nup until recently , it was virtually un - see - able . not released on dvd , let alone vhs , and rarely screened . kim morgan , when she guest - programmed an episode of turner classic movies for critics week , chose something wild as one of the two films she would present . so it is out there , if your radar is up for it .\nas sheila o ' malley says in the booklet included in the criterion collection dvd , the film is full of\nevocative silences .\nsome people will probably find the film unbearably slow and quiet . others will consider it well ahead of its time or akin to a foreign film . the photography is like a postcard of early 1950s new york city .\ni had never seen this movie before today . i saw it on the tcm schedule , but after the film was shown , so i missed seeing it . i saw intrigued by the synopsis tcm gave of the film and really wanted to see it . i looked on my libraries website for a possible vhs or dvd of it - they did not have it . looked on the net for it , but could not find a film showing of it online . and then i looked and found the entire film on youtube . youtube has a treasure trove of movies . i watched the film and found it to an excellent film\u2013 contrary to the critics negative reaction to it\u2013then , in 1961 - and even now - by current movie critics on rottentomatoes . read about the film on wikipedia to get the background of the film and the making of it . baker , meeker and dunnock were excellent - and stapleton and roberts were in fine form also . i found the story of mary ann\u2019s trauma tremendously realistic and beautifully and honestly portrayed - the film was way ahead of it\u2019s time concerning the rape and the aftermath . what i had some trouble with is the ending of the story\u2013that she actually marries the man who saved her and lives in that rundown basement apartment with him\u2013i do understand it but don\u2019t see it as realistic . otherwise , the movie was excellent and the cinematography and musical score wonderful .\nsign up : stay on top of the latest breaking film and tv news ! sign up for our email newsletters here .\nin contrast to these attempts to fully ground the spectacularised events of buffalo bill\u2019s wild west in something like historical verisimilitude and direct experience , altman\u2019s movie makes us wonder whether the cody it presents was on the western frontier at all , and certainly has little interest in constructing a complex interior world or set of motivations or destinies for this character . altman\u2019s is a roaming but static situational film that contrasts significantly with the incident - filled and constantly progressing narratives of pony express and buffalo bill . as altman somewhat disproportionately claims of his motivations while making the film : \u201cwe weren\u2019t seeking to involve the audience with the main character at all\u201d . [ 24 ]\nonce circumstances bring mary ann together with mike ( ralph meeker ) , a lonely mechanic who thwarts mary ann ' s suicide attempt , the film becomes a single - set filmed play . ms baker and mr . garfein met at lee strasberg ' s justifiably famous\ntheater laboratory ,\nthe actor ' s studio , the famously clich\u00e9d question of which was is , of course ,\nwhat ' s my motivation ?\nand that ' s precisely the question that\nsomething wild\nbegs in its latter half .\nyou probably are right about lee\u2019s list . the reason i was surprised is that i always thought of him as something of a contrarian , but as i said it\u2019s actually a very familiar looking list . but perhaps i just don\u2019t know enough of lee\u2019s work to really know him . apart from the bad 25 documentary , i think that the last film i actually saw from him was the 1996 film girl 6 . for fairly obvious musical reasons .\njust as we\u2019re ready to be released from mary ann\u2019s misery , by either her death or salvation , something wild morphs into something truly daring . mary ann is saved from suicide by mike ( ralph meeker ) , and it would have been so easy for the filmmakers to caricature him as a white knight , either as the sexless simpleton or the sensitive stud , and to have him restore mary ann\u2019s trust in society . and garfein plays with this expectation of the audience\u2019s , expanding the film\u2019s sense of space . the interior of mike\u2019s apartment , clearly a stage , is open and roomy , offering pointed reprieve from the cramped , hot stickiness of mary ann\u2019s plight in the boarding room and the five - and - dime .\nearly in something wild , mrs . gates ( mildred dunnock ) is telling her daughter to be careful outside , the neighborhood is going to pot : \u201chonestly , i don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen to this neighborhood , \u201d she says . \u201chonestly , you can\u2019t even go out on the streets alone at night . \u201d her daughter , mary ann ( carroll baker ) , who , unbeknownst to her mother , was raped the night before on her way home belligerently scowls : \u201cwhy ? what could happen ? \u201d no spoiler here , but at the end of the film the question comes back . mrs . gates simply says , \u201cwhat has happened ? what has happened ? \u201d mary ann\u2019s simple reply : \u201cwhat\u2019s happened has happened , mother . \u201d viewers may have the same question as mrs . gates as garfein\u2019s beautifully ambiguous film comes to a close . we know the chronology that got us from a to b to c , but we cannot help but ask the same question mrs . gates asks . the tantalizing but inconclusive answer is in the title : something wild . garfein\u2019s long underseen film is finally getting its due today in a new blu - ray edition from the criterion collection .\nthe rape scene encapsulates the brilliance of something wild , which takes a highly politicized atrocity that outsiders can\u2019t hope to understand , humanizing it with a mercilessly empathetic devotion to detail . this rape scene is chaste by contemporary standards of on - screen violence , but garfein and baker offer us something more illuminating than gore : intimacy . when the rapist pulls mary ann\u2019s dress up , we see the flesh along the side of her body as it\u2019s poked by a rock , and the suffering and humiliation of mary ann\u2019s violation become painfully explicit . another astute and heartbreaking image follows : the rapist stands up when he\u2019s finished , and steps on pages that have scattered out of mary ann\u2019s schoolbooks . the association is unmistakable , as she\u2019s been treated by this interloper as something to be used and discarded like trash .\nlike if a lame version of warhol went to film school then released an unfortunate first feature with an unfortunate aaron copland soundtrack .\nis highly interesting film . the movie ' s peculiarities seem a reflection of mary ann ' s psychological disorder and chaos while repressing her emotional pain . it ' s an amazing performance and a deeply impacting , and often painful , film experience . this criterion\ni had heard tcm was showing it ! it\u2019s such a unique harrowing film . so glad you got to see it again .\nthe film was very influential also outside of japan , where its violence was similarly embraced . it would be impossible ( or at least unwise ) to list all the remakes and films that have been directly influenced by yojimbo , but the best know direct remake is probably sergio leone\u2019s critically acclaimed a fistful of dollars ( 1964 , starring clint eastwood ) . almost a shot - by - shot remake transported into an old west setting , the film is notorious for having been unauthorised . following the film\u2019s release , kurosawa famously wrote to leone : \u201csignor leone , i have just had the chance to see your film . it is a very fine film , but it is my film . since japan is a signatory of the berne convention on the international copyright , you must pay me . \u201d ( quoted from galbraith ) . a lawsuit followed , but the issue was ultimately settled out of court with kurosawa and toho receiving 15 % of all sales of leone\u2019s film . it has been estimated that kurosawa actually made more money from a fistful of dollars than from his own film . we will be watching a fistful of dollars in our film club next month .\nbehind the method : in this 20 : 56 supplement , historian and super - fan of the actor studio foster hirsch , author of a method to their madness , walks us through the history of method acting , from stanislavski\u2019s work in turn of the century moscow , to the actor studio , which began in new york city in 1947 and from which marlon brando , montgomery clift , and james dean erupted . garfein and baker were part of the actor studio almost from the start . hirsch has been a champion for something wild for years ( he attended the initial run in 1961 ) , and he considers it one of the best films to come from the actors studio . it\u2019s a nice supplement , though not much here will be new to folks who have even a light knowledge of the actor studio and method acting until hirsch starts to look at something wild as a particular example . fortunately , that segment takes up almost half of the running time . he highlights baker\u2019s performance in particular , calling it a \u201cpure method performance , that is what is worked for at the studio . \u201d he proceeds to analyze some of her scenes .\ndisturbing ; at times mesmerizing and perplexing . m - g - m ' s own m . o . d . ( manufactured on demand ) service of providing hard - to - find cult and library titles on discs has released something wild , the 1961 indie drama released through united artists , starring carroll baker , ralph meeker , mildred dunnock , martin kosleck , doris roberts , and jean stapleton . a harsh , uncompromising look at the aftermath of a vicious rape gives way unexpectedly to a strange , dreamy ( and to some viewers , repellant ) hostage / romance plot , shot on the seamy streets of new york , and featuring two remarkable performances by the lead actors . no extras for this black and white full - screen transfer .\nthe oldboy trailer looks interesting . i don\u2019t think that i have seen the original , which is surprising as it seems like something i might enjoy . i guess i need to right this wrong one day . ( or , to be honest , i should stop buying films and talk about watching films and spend at least half that time to actually watch something , and i might make some progress . )\ncriterion offer a new , 27 - minute , conversation between jack garfein and critic kim morgan recorded by criterion in new york in august 2016 . in it , garfein discusses his work with the actors studio , the making of something wild , and his personal connections to the story of mary ann , the film ' s protagonist . there is also an illustrated audio - only new ( 2016 ) , 15 - minute , interview with actor carroll baker and she discusses the challenging role of mary ann in something wild . behind the method , is another 2016 interview recorded by criterion in new york . it is with scholar foster hirsch on the actors studio and runs 21 - minutes . the historian discusses the roots of method acting , director jack garfein ' s importance to the actors studio , and why something wild is one of the most important films to come out of it . we also get a 40 - minute master class with jack garfein - excerpts from a 2014 recording of one of the director\u2019s world - famous lectures on acting technique . garfein was one of the first directors invited to join the actors studio , and he studied under founder elia kazan and legendary coach lee strasberg , and , as a teacher there himself , was responsible for discovering actors ben gazzara and steve mcqueen , among others . the package also contains a liner notes booklet with an essay by critic sheila o\u2019malley .\nalthough a period film , and one possibly influenced by folk tales , the broad themes found in yojimbo are in fact fairly contemporary .\nas for spike lee\u2019s list of influential films for film students and film makes , i consider kung fu hustle a masterpiece . stephen chow manages to combine humor , cultural education , dance , romance , and martial arts into one coherent package . that\u2019s quite an accomplishment .\nreleased in 1961 , only a little over half a year after the bad sleep well , yojimbo can be seen as something of a change of gear for kurosawa and the summation of ideas that he had begun to consider in his recent films . in the 19 films that he had directed preceding yojimbo , kurosawa had time and time again been concerned with the question how to live properly and responsibly , both on individual and social levels . he had documented the rebuilding of japanese society after the war , criticising and questioning many aspects of the ongoing reconstruction .\ni think , instead , something wild and the other four films i\u2019ve mentioned display an almost prurient fixation with tracing the destruction of female innocence . most of these films rely on an expressly innocent ( and usually blonde ) victim , often contrasted with other ( cheap ) women , like edith stapleton here . as a result , i return to the speculation i offered in last year\u2019s post about two women and virgin spring : i believe this was film\u2019s way of dealing with the sexual revolution \u2014 to offer histrionic cautionary tales rather than explore rape per se from the perspective of victims .\nto be honest , i\u2019d love to be able to cop to the charge of present - mindedness , and to embrace morgan\u2019s reading . i trust her argument most for the film\u2019s first half , in which we watch mary ann wrestle with her demons and refuse to tell anyone about her experience . but i felt increasingly pushed away from her during the second half of the film . for me at least , morgan\u2019s position holds less water during that \u201centrapment and subjugation\u201d part of the film in which mary ann and mike face off as captive and captor , a hour of screen time that concludes \u2014 crazily \u2014 with something resembling love between them .\nmr . garfein had received critical accolades for his theater work and his film -

and - dime store . depressed and desperate , mary ann prepares to jump off a bridge into the east river when a passing stranger , a garage mechanic named mike , rescues her and takes her back to his basement apartment to recover . then things really start to get weird . . .\ni haven\u2019t seen the film so i cannot judge it , but the idea of a film that is more than fifty years old and centrally about a woman who is first raped and then kept as a captive that was directed by a man and adapted from a novel written by a man makes me concerned about how the material might be handled . i , too , won\u2019t get into spoilers but based on a summary of the plot i read there is at least one thing quite disconcerting about the ending . . i suspect this film might be one that would be a demanding watch and might be more an experience to examine the politics of the film rather than just its content . that might be an exercise worth doing , but i\u2019m not convinced . it would be interesting to read more commentary about the film\u2019s controversial content first , including a female point of view ."]}

they cheered at every lee appearance , especially when his stunt double does that nice leap off a balcony . but they sat in a stupor through most of the picture waiting for interesting things to happen , and by the finale had no patience left .\nnow that his revenge is\ncomplete\n, dracula abducts maria and takes her to his castle . he forces her to remove the cross from the door . meanwhile , paul follows on horseback , arriving just as maria tosses the cross over the cliff . dracula tries to toss paul over the cliff , too , but dracula himself falls , impaling himself on the cross . paul and maria embrace . the priest , apparently released from his tie to dracula , recites the pater noster . in the final scene , paul looks down to see that the dracula ' body has all but disappeared , and he makes the sign of the cross .\ndracula goes after the niece of the monsignor who destroyed . . . more >\nit ' s still a very solid hammer dracula film , but the slow , downward spiral away from quality would continue with the next entry in the series . . .\nmook face turn : the priest regains his faith at the end when dracula gets impaled on the cross and recites the lord ' s prayer to finish off dracula .\nthis was the very first movie to receive a rating from the mpaa in 1968 . see more \u00bb\nhe is risen is best for ages 9 and up , particularly those who have an understanding of what\ncrucifixion\nmeans .\nwhen the niece of a prominent clergyman becomes dracula ' s victim , the monsignor vows to put a stop to dracula ' s deadly ways .\nand as many others have discussed , this film carries a g rating from the mpaa .\nthis was a gift . however , since my friend loves christopher lee as dracula , and has many of the movies in the series , i am sure she will love it .\n31 days of halloween : there ' s no escape from polan . . .\nchristopher lee did return as dracula in a french comedy motion picture , dracula and son ( 1976 ) , a . k . a . dracula : father and son . it is not a hammer film . christopher lee stars in it and dubbed his own voice . the french version and usa version are different . the usa version has many scenes cut from the film replacing them with with different gags .\nif you dig hammer movies , then\ndracula has risen from the grave\nis one you will relish ! it ' s got all the things that make hammer films so wonderful - the sets , the music , a pretty nasty and misogynistic dracula , a love story , and two beautiful lead ladies . and of course , it plays out much more like a scary fairy tale than a straight - out horror film . stylish shots and classy photography coupled with hammer ' s just - this - side - of - storybook red blood makes for a very creepy and at the same time beautiful viewing experience . i think each of hammers ' dracula films are great ( minus the abysmal but nicely titled\nsatanic rites of dracula\n) but this one sits rightfully at the top of them all .\none year has passed since dracula was defeated in dracula : prince of darkness . a monsignor visits the village that was once terrorized by dracula , only to discover that the villagers still live in fear of the vampire . the local priest has lost his faith and the villagers don ' t attend the church for mass because \u201cthe shadow of his castle touches it\u201d . in order to end their fear of the long since gone vampire , the monsignor climbs to castle dracula to perform an exorcism . in the process of the exorcism the priest , who climbed part of the way with the monsignor , falls and hits his head and at the same time cracks the ice which dracula lays frozen in . unbeknown to the monsignor , who is still conducting the exorcism , blood from the priest ' s head spills into dracula ' s lips and re - awakens him . dracula wastes no time in hypnotizing the priest into being his servant , and begins his reign of terror once again ( obviously ) .\nsold and shipped from abroad . all import customs duties and taxes included at the time of purchase\nall products are sold and shipped from the us , customs cleared and delivered straight to you .\ndracula orders the maid zena to bring him maria . she reacts with jealousy that the count might desire someone else and completely misses the point of his revenge . maria is coerced down to the hidden alcove but dracula\u2019s feeding is interrupted by the boyfriend paul . zena loses much favor with the count and has to beg for more \u201cattention\u201d from his excellence . dracula simply makes her a vampire and orders her body thrown into a fire by the priest . the fires of eternal damnation ?\nthis was the fourth of the hammer dracula films , and it ' s a bore .\nyou exclamation : the monsignor says this when his pursuit of dracula is interrupted by dracula ' s mook\u2014the priest . the priest then whacks him over the head with a stone tablet .\nthe advertising campaign in america was decidedly tongue - in - cheek ; the main poster image did not depict the vampire , but rather one of his busty victims , with two pink ( and anachronistic ) band - aids on her neck , followed by the tagline ,\ndracula has risen from the grave ( obviously ) .\nwarner bros . - seven arts also played up the humorous and somewhat campy ad campaign for their television ads (\nwhen we last saw him . . . dracula was dead with a stake driven through his heart . . . . but you just can ' t keep a good man down\n) , and made sure to mention the\ng\nrating . as a result\nwhat does dracula have to do with brides of dracula ? absolutely nothing . aside from a few references to the old boy ( in the narrated opening it is made clear that dracula is dead , but his disciples remain ) , he , and his brides , are absent from this film . i have no idea why hammer chose this title , other than an attempt to connect it to the first dracula film . despite that , this is one of the greatest in the hammer canon . the scenery is beautiful , the well - constructed plot has globs of gothic perversity , the ladies are as lovely as ever and peter cushing is at the top of his game .\nit\u2019s funny . the dracula franchise is probably what hammer film productions is best remembered for today , but those movies are consistently among the studio\u2019s weakest products . the worst of the bunch are among the few truly terrible hammer films i\u2019ve seen , and even the best of them wouldn\u2019t make it into my personal top ten . for the most part , they\u2019re just sort of okay , competent in an undistinguished manner , but representing ever more plainly as the years wore on all the ways that hammer wasn\u2019t adapting to changing times . dracula has risen from the grave may be the okayest of them all . in what would turn out to be the most transformative year in horror movie history since probably 1931 , it stands fast in the center of the genre\u2019s comfort zone , offering a perfectly acceptable rendition of little you haven\u2019t seen before .\nthe best thing about dracula has risen from the grave is the introduction of the absolutely gorgeous veronica carlson . she went on to star in a couple of hammer frankenstein films after this , but i don\u2019t know why they didn\u2019t use her more . other than that , it\u2019s business as usual . thankfully , lee is around more in this film and actually has dialogue . nothing can make up for the absence of cushing , though davies replaces him as best he is able as a holy man , rather than a scientist . this film somehow seems brighter and more visually stunning than earlier efforts in the series , though that could be because of the lovely rooftop set with veronica carlson prancing around on it . there is also more sexual innuendo and dangerously plunging cleavage lines .\nnotice any issues ? such as the reflection ? oh well , just another bit of lore previously followed thrown out the window . the monsignor leaves the town , his job finished , or so he thinks . dracula has indeed risen from the grave , and now his mortal assistant is one of the cloth . now what could that be implying ? here we have yet another interesting thematic concept in a hammer sequel that then is completely disregarded . the priest simply does what every other dracula servant does : the master\u2019s bidding like a walking robot . doesn\u2019t anybody find these people a bit strange ? if you were to stagger around mumbling only monosyllables people would think you\u2019re crazy . any notion of this subplot being some kind of metaphor of the church acting as a false prophet is completely ignored .\nthe theme of religion com - bating the evil of vampirism is not an uncommon one , but rarely has it received such a full treatment . the three men who combine to destroy dracula run the gamut from believer to atheist . the monsignor is a man with great faith in god . the priest is a believer who has lost his way . paul , the young man engaged to the monsignor\u2019s niece , fancies himself an intellectual who questions the existence of god . his rejection of religion plays a pivotal role in a scene where he faces dracula , but is unable to destroy him .\nyou have failed me : zena is turned into one of dracula ' s mooks after he bites her . she ' s given orders to kidnap maria , but fails to do so . dracula promptly slays her for her failure and has the priest burn her body .\nclap your hands if you believe : why the first attempt to stake dracula fails .\ncountry united states format cd release date 2002 upn 7 -

fi , horror and espionage penned by doctor who scribe don houghton would probably have been successful if dracula and van helsing hadn\u2019t been included , seemingly as an afterthought . this is not helped by the fact that dracula has minimal screen time , probably less than 15 minutes . at least he has dialogue in this one . though it is great to see lee and cushing together again , they feel out of place in an a plot that belongs to either the avengers , james bond or fu manchu . the bleak apocalyptic theme moves away from the gothic elements of most of the series and far , far away from the fun , campy romp of dracula a . d . , which will likely please the many viewers that hated that film .\ncountry great britain format cd release date 9 -

winning cinematographer , who had earlier helmed another hammer horror film from a different fisher - dominated series ,\none of the reasons for the continued popularity of the figures of dr . jekyll and his sinister companion is their status as what joyce carol oates has called \u201cmythopoetic figures [ of ] autonomous creation , \u201d which is a lovely way of saying that those who have never read stevenson\u2019s novella , who have never seen a stage play of the tale , who have never seen a film adaptation of the story still know the names jekyll and hyde and what they signify . the mythical allegory of a good man and his evil alter -

except another six months in script development . to his credit , dean murphy reins in the film ' s tendency to be flimsy caricature , but it ' s a close call and ralph ' s climactic speech can take at least half the credit for that . what the screenplay lacks is another level , a major subplot , or a damn good incident around which drama and tension can evolve , so that the basic premise is not stuck like a plucked chicken in the middle of the yard .\nthat all happened back in the late sixties , but the africville issue reverberates today . the former residents have gotten together to sue governments to get real reparations for their losses instead of the pittance they were paid at the time . many , in truth , would rather have their community back than any amount of money . in 2004 , a united nations report into what happened to the community even called on the canadian government to pay reparations to the former residents of africville for what had been done to them .\nthe afc ' s industry and cultural development program helps provide opportunities for potential audiences to access australian and international programs by funding many short film festivals . such festivals are a great place for emerging filmmakers to test their films on audiences and to engage with other filmmakers . winning an award at flickerfest or sony tropfest can be an indicator to other festival directors and sales agents that you are a filmmaker to look out for . whatever type of films you are making -

night comedy circuit to the campaign trail in recent years . in 2004 , when john kerry decided it was time to do his first national television interview , he did not choose cbs\u2019s 60 minutes , abc\u2019s nightline , or nbc nightly news . kerry picked comedy central\u2019s the daily show . when george w . bush was lagging in the polls , his appearance on the david letterman show gave him a measurable boost . candidates for the 2008 presidential election began their late -

remarked , facet of his reputation . he has been married for 30 years to the actress sharon maugham , but rumours of eve ' s philandering have swirled around the couple for decades .\nshe\u2019s fantastic and has a much greater understanding of everything than i have . we\u2019re real soulmates . it\u2019s a great closeness that we have , which is essential to me . i\u2019m very lucky ,\nreveals trevor .\ni ' m going to be doing that for ever !\nlaughs trevor .\nas long as people enjoy it , then i ' m happy to do it . but it can get quite gruesome sometimes !\nafter playing relatively unheralded tv roles such as \u201cman in shower\u201d in the short children in 1976 , eve\u2019s fortunes changed dramatically when he landed the role of the laid - back bristol \u201cprivate ear\u201d eddie shoestring in 1979 . shoestring was the game changer , and he has never looked back . his latest role , as king in kidnap and ransom , plays to eve\u2019s strengths as an elder statesman .\ni didn ' t realise that there were all these particular ethical guidelines that you have to adhere to and that you can only put so many embryos back , depending on the age of the woman ,\nexplains trevor .\nit ' s the very\nnow\nsubject of ivf this time rather than suburban sex shenanigans for eve in his role as dr patrick stowe , the head of a successful private fertility clinic . despite doing a broadly positive job helping childless couples conceive , eve ' s character still manages to be a right bastard , ignoring his own two tv - gorgeous children and nursing a massive ego .\neve was born in sutton coldfield , warwickshire , the son of elsie ( n\u00e9e hamer ) and stewart frederick eve . his father was english , and his welsh mother was from the mumbles area of swansea , south wales . educated at bromsgrove school , he had little acting experience during his school days . in his early years eve wanted to be an artist but was dissuaded from this career path by his father for financial reasons . he instead initially studied architecture at kingston polytechnic college in london but dropped out of the course to enroll at the royal academy of dramatic art ( rada ) .\nthis was eve ' s second sinister turn in a three - part adaptation of an andrea newman novel . eve plays the unsavoury alex kyle , a kinky , manipulative academic who leads his married niece gemma astray and into an extra - marital affair with his cleaner . then he films them doing it . grim . the daily mail loved it , though , calling it\nlike real life\n.\ntomorrow night , eve plays the lead role in hughie green , most sincerely , a classy bbc4 biopic that demanded a series of tonsorial transformations spanning the life of the opportunity knocks host over three decades .\nstill his best - loved role , shoestring took early retirement when eve refused to sign up for a third series . the ambitious young actor had set his sights higher \u2013 on classical theatre and hollywood .\nbut eve also owes much to sir laurence olivier . they met in 1976 at an audition for a tv remake of hindle wakes that the venerable actor was directing .\ni didn ' t want to be nervous when i first met him , so i got to the audition early . he was wearing salmon - pink trousers ,\nsays eve . he got the part , acting alongside donald pleasence .\nat the age of three , his father left their family . they stayed in touch for a few years , but after the divorce and moving from city to city , they fell out of contact . trevor eve attended four different high schools and struggled with dyslexia , making his education more challenging than it is for most . eventually he left high school without earning a diploma , though through sheer will , he is an avid reader now .\ninstead , he became an actor and , straight after rada , in 1974 , eve went to the liverpool everyman theatre to play paul mccartney in willy russell ' s musical john paul george ringo . . . & bert , a celebration of the beatles . anthony sher was ringo .\nwe mimed , wore wigs , it was a romp ,\nsays eve of the first production that got him noticed .\neve , from sutton coldfield in warwickshire , originally wanted to be an architect . however , he dropped out of his course at kingston polytechnic in south - west london to take up a place at rada .\nthe industry has changed somewhat since trevor started out in the 70s , having ditched his plans to become an architect to train at rada . his first tv role was in the sunday drama playing \u201csome kind of toy boy\u201d to annette crosbie in 1977 .\nwe ' re both relieved that it ' s over . you don ' t enjoy this , do you , trevor ? he looks crestfallen .\nreally ?\nhe says , punching a cream cushion :\ni thought i was quite forthcoming .\ntrevor knows better than most ; his wife has been in the industry for as long as he has , and their daughter alice has taken hollywood by storm , starring in the likes of men in black 3 and is currently filming replicas with keanu reeves .\nwatch trevor in david copperfield in back - to - back episodes on sunday 13 november , from 12 - 3pm on drama , and death comes to pemberley in back - to - back episodes on sunday 11 december , from 12 - 4pm on drama .\nbut fame has been continual for trevor . he was reported to be one of the highest - paid british actors while he was starring as detective superintendent peter boyd in waking the dead and even now he\u2019s 65 , there\u2019s no shortage of roles \u2013 they\u2019re just different .\nin real life , sharon maughan has recently spoken about how difficult it has been living with her husband ' s image of a ladies ' man throughout their marriage . the couple have three children , including hollywood actress alice eve .\nin 2010 , eve played the father of the female lead , also his daughter , in she ' s out of my league , and starred as peter manson in the itv / mammoth screen remake of bouquet of barbed wire .\neve along with his wife sharon was given the honor on 19 th february 2014 for being asked to perform in front od the queen in the investiture room , along with hugh laurie , sir tom courtenay and dame helen mirren .\nto a limited extent , his fervour for family is reflected in his new show , kidnap and ransom , a three - part series made by eve ' s company projector pictures , in which he stars as hostage negotiator dominic king . the character is a long way from the young , heart - throb detective eddie shoestring , who gave eve his big break in the late 1970s . king is trying to juggle the world of hostage negotiation with a troubled teenage daughter .\nto help him research kidnap and ransom , eve has tapped into a network of real - life hostage negotiators . in the world of kidnapping , drama comes with the territory , \u201d says eve . \u201cit contains inherent drama . you don\u2019t have to struggle to find dramatic moments when you\u2019re dealing with hostage negotiations . the negotiators give us so much information , that we could easily make an eight - hour drama out of it . without question , they are amazing people .\ni really like tony ' s work ,\nsays trevor .\ni was sent some scripts and think the subject is absolutely fascinating . it ' s at a particular stage now scientifically , but who knows where it could march on into some kind of designer future .\nkidnap could scarcely be a more topical subject for a drama . if you can believe it , someone , somewhere in the world is taken hostage every six hours . \u201ckidnap is the fastest - growing crime in the world , \u201d says eve .\nlast year eve , who played eddie shoestring in the seventies , attracted plaudits for his role in itv drama bouquet of barbed wire in which his character , peter manson , cheated on his wife by sleeping with one of his beautiful young work colleagues .\neve says of king : \u201cthis is an ex - military man who has really experienced life . he has learnt to contain his emotions . he is not a demonstrative person . i enjoy playing that because as a person , i\u2019m the opposite . \u201d\neve gets hot and steamy in this mystery series set in early 1930s kenya , about a scotland yard detective who must choose between relocation to nairobi and prison . he sets ladies ' hearts a pitter - pat in his khaki fatigues and tastefully sweaty neckerchief .\nwhile trevor accompanied alice to the church , her holby city actress mum sharon , famously known for starring in the nescafe adverts , had joined her daughter on her dress fittings . alice had a bespoke gown made by british designer alice temperley . sharon and trevor were the first to learn that alice and alex were getting married . alex had asked for trevor ' s permission before popping the question to his future bride while they were on a family holiday together in ibiza last july .\nwe fell in love when we were at school ,\nsaid alice of her new husband .\nthen life took its course and we both went out and pursued our careers . i always adored him and we were able to reconnect at this time in our lives and magically fell back in love .\nfor the full interview and more wedding photos , pick up a copy of hello ! magazine out now .\nthe wolfish gaze and peaked eyebrows are still there , but the hair , it must be said , has been subject to severe cutbacks . trevor eve ' s mane \u2013 still as thick as a broom at 56 years old \u2013 has been a corollary of his sex appeal , from the tousled mop - top of seventies sleuth eddie shoestring , via the swept - back style of callous tory minister duncan matlock in the politician ' s wife , to the silvery serie - a - manager style that cold - case cop ds boyd favours in waking the dead .\nit\u2019s been quite a ride for eve over the last three decades . how would he sum it all up ? \u201cit\u2019s been great . working away from home can be difficult at times . but you can\u2019t complain \u2013 it\u2019s not like doing a tour of afghanistan .\nwary he may be of our encounter , but eve has no cause to fear the critics . for 30 years , he has carved a reputation among programme - makers as the most bankable star in tv drama . his ratings appeal is undoubted . indeed , there ' s a pleasing symmetry that , while opportunity knocks regularly drew audiences of 24 million , so did shoestring , the hugely popular detective series that was eve ' s breakthrough in the late seventies . today , in a vastly more competitive entertainment landscape , waking the dead regularly hits figures of eight million .\neve himself is carving out a second career developing drama . his production company , projector , has given life to two hefty channel 4 dramas , starring kathleen turner and kate beckinsale , and is working on a third project , a romantic comedy by mike bullen , who wrote cold feet . eve became a producer , literally , by accident \u2013 in 1995 , he fell off a polo pony and broke three vertebrae . for six months , he thought he might not walk again . so he set up in business .\ni never just wanted to turn up and do my scenes . when i ' m on set , i ' m looking at the focus guy , thinking , ' i could do focus ' .\nand eve ' s expansion into programme making was given further range when heggessey ' s talkbackthames purchased a stake last autumn .\nwork has certainly not dried up for the waking the dead star , who has played all manner of parts in his long career on both the stage and screen , and he also has his own production company . but trevor say he feels fortunate to be a man , as it\u2019s a much harder industry for the fairer sex .\ntrevor and his wife sharon split their time between their london home and a country house in sussex . the couple met in 1979 when they were both cast in a touring production of filumena , and , as sharon has confided ,\nwe went on tour and fell in love on the drive to the first venue in norwich .\nfor 11 years , between 2000 and 2011 , eve was also a regular visitor to our living rooms as the brooding ds peter boyd in bbc1\u2019s hugely popular detective series , waking the dead . the forensics drama came to a close last year after more than a decade at the top of the ratings and eve feels it was right for them to quit while they were ahead . \u201ci loved waking the dead , but i\u2019m very happy it\u2019s not going again , \u201d he says . \u201cit absolutely feels like a weight off my shoulders . there is no chance of it coming back .\ntalking about his personal life , he is married to sharon maughan . she is an actress with whom eve was in relationship few years before they got married . the couple e is blessed ed with three children . they are living happily as husband and wife and have no nay signs of divorced .\nhow on earth did he , erm , nuance green ' s orgasms ?\nwell , with the implication that he ' s stayed in his own world ,\neve says seriously :\nimplying that he ' s not really given to the pairing . and he was particularly unpleasant to women .\nis a happy story in a lot of ways , but the life of its star wasn\u2019t always . now 50 years old , trevor\u2019s life has been full of more tragedy than you would expect from a movie star . despite each setback , he\u2019s kept pushing forward . it\u2019s helped develop himself into the awesome person that he is on and off the screen .\nby the mid - 1990s , according to his own analysis , it was his theatre work that was winning him the plum roles in serious , one - off dramas for the bbc . he moved back to britain and , as he moved into his forties , eve ' s speciality became lying politicians , adulterous husbands and other middle - class miscreants \u2013 and women loved him for it . as felix kramer ( a sense of guilt ) , he has an affair with his friend ' s teenaged daughter . in an evil streak , eve ' s character spies on another teenager through a two - way mirror .\nso to what does he attribute his longevity in an often fickle industry ? \u201ci\u2019ve always been very committed to my work , \u201d replies eve , who has been married for 32 years to fellow actor sharon maughan . \u201cwhen i do something , it means something to me . maybe that transfers onto the screen .\n\u2018i can categorically say we\u2019ve never had an open marriage . some people in our profession do and we don\u2019t . i don\u2019t know a woman alive who would happily accept that . cheating\u2019s horrible and the suggestion of it is horrible . trevor\u2019s my best friend and there\u2019s never been a time we haven\u2019t spoken to one another every day or taken care of one another .\nsmash .\nwell , you ' re too young to remember hughie green ,\neve says testily , shifting in his seat . perhaps . but , like many , i do remember paula yates ' s very public discovery that green was her biological father , a revelation that is the crux of most sincerely .\nit wasn ' t eve ' s parents who fed his theatrical ambitions .\nit wasn ' t supported in northern birmingham . they thought i was insane ,\nhe says . as a child , he didn ' t take even minor roles in the plays at his hated boarding school , bromsgrove in worcestershire .\ntoo forthcoming , on second thoughts \u2013 the next day , we get a call asking for copy approval ( politely declined ) . but for what reason is trevor eve so wary of the press ? last year , the daily mail did indeed publish unflattering pictures of him on the beach in barbados . but it can ' t be that his vanity is wounded \u2013 he ' s far too sane on the subject , saying :\nsurgery doesn ' t interest me . i ' d be far too concerned about how it would come out . as they brought the mirror , i ' d be thinking , ' what if they ' ve fucked up . . . ? '\nin his latest role , eve plays a highly dysfunctional father who yearns pathetically for a relationship with an illegitimate daughter while being unable to manage any affection for his legitimate offspring . most sincerely begins with a news of the world hack announcing to the congregation at green ' s funeral that the dead man is the real father of paula yates . the film then tracks back to green ' s unhappy childhood , miserable marriage , hands - off attitude to parenting and scores of affairs , the latter requiring scenes of rough sex that tested even eve ' s expertise as the king of small - screen venality , the british answer to michael douglas .\ntrevor can\u2019t believe his age either :\npeople have to remind me i\u2019m 65 because i don\u2019t feel it ,\nhe smiles .\nnobody does , but things change . although , amazingly , hardly a day goes by without somebody saying , ' i loved you in shoestring , ' and all i say is that it\u2019s great they can still recognise me from that !\nhis first major film role was in dracula ( 1979 ) , playing jonathan harker . eve appeared in hindle wakes ( 1976 ) directed by laurence olivier as part of the laurence olivier presents tv series . in 1979 and 1980 he became famous throughout the uk for playing the role of the private investigator eddie shoestring in shoestring .\nin 1995 huddleston became the founding patron of action for southern africa ( actsa ) , which was established as the successor to the aam , and held this position until his death . huddleston was appointed a knight commander of the order of st michaels and st george in the 1998 new years honours . at his investiture on 24 march 1998 he chose the designation \u2018bishop trevor of sophiatown\u2019 .\neve ' s attention to detail is a leitmotif of his acting style . on the first day of shooting shoestring , back in 1979 , he had a stand - up row with the director because he believed so strongly that eddie ' s tie would be skinny , not kipper - style .

infested undergrowth to a shady clearing , he is now sitting opposite me sipping a cup of tea .\ntrevor , in his early age , wanted to be an artist but moved way from his career path and studied architecture at kingston polytechnic college . but , later on , he dropped the course and dedicate his career in acting . he enjoyed a long and successful acting career on stage , television , and film , with his career spanning back to the 1970s . he was awarded twice for his performance in the field of acting .\neve ' s interests include golf , painting , squash and tennis . in 1995 , while playing polo , he was seriously injured when he fell badly from his pony . temporarily unable to act , he took up production . , interview with chrissy iley for the radio times , july 2004 he is also a supporter of chelsea football club . , celebrity chelsea fans , 2010\nthe film is metatelevision \u2013 television about television \u2013 which is a preoccupation for programme -

founder of answers in genesis , a group of biblical literalists who believe that the earth was created 6 , 000 years ago , over the course of six consecutive days . the ministry , which is spearheading ark encounter , has some experience with this sort of undertaking , albeit on a smaller scale : in 2007 , in petersburg , kentucky , it opened the creation museum , a 70 , 000 - square - foot complex consisting of a caf\u00e9 , several movie theaters , a planetarium , and 160 exhibits elucidating events recounted in the book of genesis .\nas an apologetics ministry , answers in genesis is devoted to defending the christian faith via a literal reading of the bible , without allowances for allegory . rather than publicly disavow science , though , the group has appropriated its methodology , hiring teams of creationism - friendly researchers to weigh in on ark - related puzzles . ( speaking of science , answers in genesis plans to use energy - efficient leed technologies for the park\u2019s heating , cooling , and lighting systems , so as \u201cto be good stewards of creation\u201d\u2014though zovath , for all his preoccupation with flooding , has said he doesn\u2019t believe in global warming . )\none team of advisers , led by georgia purdom , who has a doctorate in molecular genetics from ohio state university , is attempting to compile a definitive list of which animals would have been required to re - speciate the earth in noah\u2019s time . according to the answers in genesis web site , god allowed for the \u201cpotential for tremendous variety within the original created kinds . \u201d through \u201cgenetic mutations and other mechanisms , \u201d those original kinds generated the \u201cgreat diversity of living things we see today . \u201d although by some estimates nearly 8 million species of animals are thought to inhabit the planet right now , answers in genesis believes that noah would have needed just 2 , 000 to 4 , 000 \u201coriginal kinds\u201d for his ark\u2014which helps explain how everyone managed to fit . the original created kind later yielded all other kinds : the ur - dog begat wolves , dingoes , foxes , great danes , poodles , and so on . \u201cwe\u2019re trying to define\u2014and it\u2019s never been done before , we\u2019re breaking new ground\u2014how many dogs make up a dog - kind , and what does that dog - kind look like ? , \u201d zovath said .\nmy questions about other specifics were met with a quick , relentless defense . how did eight people feed and clean up after several thousand wild animals ? conveyor belts . how did noah pack enough food for everyone ? he pelletized it . what kept all the animals from eating each other ? the hand of god .\n\u201cwe don\u2019t want anyone to think we\u2019re just making things up , \u201d said marsh , who is ark encounter\u2019s design director .\nanswers in genesis contemplated building a full - scale ark as a sister attraction to the creation museum as early as 2004 , but the idea became more plausible when a consulting firm estimated that an ark would receive 1 . 6 million visitors in its first year . zovath told me he was further heartened by a survey , conducted by 60 minutes and vanity fair in 2009 , concerning which \u201clost artifacts\u201d respondents might like to see : the ark swept it , claiming 43 percent of the vote ( atlantis was next , at 18 percent ) . \u201cpeople are fascinated with the ark\u2014with the whole account , \u201d zovath said .\nhoping for some added insight into the ark story\u2019s enduring appeal , i headed to the creation museum\u2019s sizable ark exhibit , one of its biggest draws . there , i watched an animatronic noah make hash marks on a curling piece of papyrus , then pause to answer a few preprogrammed inquiries , barking his responses like a seasoned catskills comedian . ( \u201cwhy did i build the ark ? well , i built the ark because , simply put , god told me to ! \u201d )\nthe rest of the exhibit , though , was surprisingly frank about the gruesomeness of the flood . in one diorama , the ark floats past a rock inhabited by screaming , about -

aztec deity ( and not a singing bear ) .\njohnny weissmuller ' s tenure as a big screen tarzan , first for mgm and then at rko , lasted seventeen years and a dozen feature films and cost him three wives ( the second ,\nmexican spitfire\nlupe velez ) . when the former olympic gold medal swimmer reported for duty in acapulco to film\nto resend the verification email , please enter your email address and click submit .\nthis last weissmuller tarzan movie is unlike all the previous movies , it has a lot of singing done by a guy named benji that is rather corny . it also is filmed in mexico and uses many of the locals as the aquatanians , you will see diving from the cliffs of acapulco and temple ruins used . one thing to watch for is the cliff dive that tarzan does , in real life a stunt double did that and lost his life in the filming . another curious thing is tarzan wears sandals in parts of this movie , sometimes they are on and sometimes missing ! there is also a fight with an octopus . you will also notice cheetah is much smaller that earlier monkeys used . for tarzan fans this one is worth a look but if it probably the weakest of the 12 movies that weissmuller did . i think they should have titled this movie tarzan takes a vacation in mexico as that is how it appears .\nthe prisoners are taken before palanth but before they can be sentenced to death balu strides in , much to palanth\u2019s surprise as varga was off running the nyaga trading post end of the operation and so couldn\u2019t possibly be in the costume . much to palanth\u2019s consternation balu and indicates that the prisoners should all be set free , including mara . palanth learns that it was tarzan posing as the god and confronts the ape man , \u201c if my people knew anyone posed as balu , they would destroy him . \u201d tarzan counters with , \u201cif people know balu a man , they destroy you . \u201d check and mate . it\u2019s great when the series remembers that tarzan is a smart and canny foe and not one to be screwed with . as often is the case in this series just when my faith is restored in the character something monumentally stupid will happen . in this case it\u2019s the idiotic decision for everyone to stay in aquatania for partying and aquatic sporting events . have none of these bozos heard the term \u201c getting out when the getting\u2019s good . \u201d neither the villains nor the heroes have any sense of when it\u2019s best to cut and run .\ntarzan triumphs might have been called\ntarzan versus the swastika\n, as it boils down to a grade -

welcome external elements like rampaging nazis , a prehistoric monster or two , strange lost cities and plenty of va - voom 40s jungle princesses . in fact , the titles of the last four installments feature tropical -

show featurette .\nthe story follows tarzan , who was raised in the african jungle but is now living in victorian london as john clayton ( lord greystoke ) with his wife , jane . john is sent on a trade mission back into the congo and becomes embroiled in a deadly revenge plot . robbie took the role \u201cbecause it was very different from the other stuff i\u2019ve done\u201d .\nonce again , tarzan ' s africa seems to be populated with every kind of human except blacks ; these generic natives are similar to those shown in fantasies about southeast asia or the pacific isles - - dark , but not of african descent . i wonder what happened to all those bloodthirsty tribes of maniac savages that shot people full of arrows and hacked them to bits back in tarzan and his mate ?\nthe quintessential adventure film tells the exciting story of a difficult african trek to the fabled elephants ' burial grounds , where vast amounts of valuable ivory tusks are thought to be located . traders are exploring and searching for the unexplored burial place beyond the mutia escarpment - a mysterious , wall - like barrier of mountains . there are superstitious beliefs among the natives that the escarpment is sacred and anyone who looks or ventures beyond the escarpment faces death by the\nwitchmen of the tribe .\nwhile the group is preparing to set up camp , they notice a jungle - yelling , vine - swinging , illiterate ( unspeaking and mono - syllabic ) , loin - clothed , but gentle , childlike , and protective ape man - tarzan ( johnny weissmuller ) . when distracted by savage pygmies , jane is suddenly kidnapped by tarzan - he whisks her away , carrying her back to his tree home among a group of apes . she screams and kicks as he carries her into the treetops . she is terrified of the heights , begging him :\nhold on to me .\nwhen one of the giant apes approaches , tarzan clearly doesn ' t understand her words as she screams hysterically :\noh , he ' s coming at me ! oh , don ' t let him take me ,\nbut tarzan protects her . she meets the chimp chetah for the first time - in a gesture of friendliness , he puts his arm on her shoulder . they are both curious about what she is wearing , until they are threatened by a leopard from below . tarzan leaps on the threatening animal and kills it .\ntarzan\u00ae is the property of edgar rice burroughs , inc . , tarzana ca this independent reference to , and appreciation of , the tarzan movies is copyright \u00a9 1995 -

of - pace adventure . this time the babe along for the ride is nancy kelly , future mother of the evil rhoda in the bad seed . the story offers an interesting new locale , an inventive story , and some welcome gruesome thrills . new to the series is associate producer kurt neumann ( the fly , kronos ) , who would direct three subsequent entries .\nprime members enjoy fast & free shipping , unlimited streaming of movies and tv shows with prime video and many more exclusive benefits .\ninterestingly , while her co - star alexander skarsg\u00e5rd ( who plays tarzan ) is semi - naked for half the film , robbie gets to keep her clothes on .\nfilmed in mexico ( mainly acapulco ) with an ambitious music score by dimitri tiomkin , this is less of a jungle adventure than most tarzan films as water and swimming sequences dominate . the spectacular scenery is the film ' s main asset as the story is a slow - moving affair in which tarzan helps a native girl ( linda christian ) from being forced into marriage to a phoney island god . the highlight is a breathtaking sequence of cliff diving , during the shooting of which johnny weissmuller ' s double , angel garcia , was killed . this was weissmuller ' s 12th and last screen portrayal of tarzan although he was to return to serial heroics as comic - strip character jungle jim soon after .\nafter tarzan carries her and swings her to another part of the treetops , he grabs her again and she screams repeatedly :\nlet me go ,\nbut she cannot escape his powerful grasp . when she is finally released , jane sleeps in tarzan ' s tree house / home for the night . he has provided her with a leopard skin to sleep on and made a screen around her with vines . next to her covered home , he stretches out on a large tree bough to sleep . when he awakens the next morning , he grabs her again , and she screams hysterically , but she falls into tarzan ' s arms for protection when the giant ape threatens one more time . she thanks him with a simple :\nthank you . . . thank you for protecting me .\na beautiful , young girl becomes caught in tarzan ' s net while he is fishing . she is mara , who has fled from the pearl - fishing village of aquatania to escape marriage to palanth , who poses as the living - god , balu . balu ' s henchmen recapture mara and return her to balu ' s temple on taboo island . tarzan follows in an effort to rescue her .\n\u201cwe were one of those families whose doors were always open and there was constantly someone walking in and out , \u201d she says .\na satisfying development would be to have boy prove his mettle by going mano - a - mano with kimba while tarzan takes on the rest of the leopard cult , but the movie doesn ' t work out that way . it ' s certainly exciting and violent , although we miss not having a scene of the evil lea trying out her wiles on our loin - clothed hero . . . in the later hercules movies it was always , uh , stimulating to see glamorous dishes like gianna marie canale and sylvia lopez salivate over the musclebound steve reeves . tarzan ' s relationship with jane here isn ' t all that exciting !"]}

- down on his luck protagonist has an increasingly awful night that turns into a rampage through la . it is funny without ever being stupid or gross , which probably explains its ranking . in a time when big name stars are putting out such comedic , big screen\ngems\nas the bizarrely unfunny toilet -

unbound narrative strategies should be confronted with questions of mediality . furthermore , approaches that concentrate overwhelmingly on questions of mediality should match their results with general narrative theories . if , for example , we take established narratological concepts such as focalization , order or diegetic level as a point of departure to develop a systematic model for narratological film analysis , we have to discuss the potentials and limitations of each category in terms of mediality and modify these concepts accordingly ( kuhn 2011 : 7ff . ) . consistently , due to the hybrid and multimodal nature of film , an approach that examines narrative in film is per se more complex than a theory of literary narration ( 9 ) .\nin this case , however , the film in question never will be released in theaters , and there is no plan to release it on - demand . and recently , the bar for reaping a share of profit appears to have gone up : on one project now in postproduction , the pool will not begin to fill unless the movie grosses $ 50 million . it will top out when and if the film grosses $ 70 million . the maximum that can go into the pool remains the same , $ 250 , 000 .\ncarnahan goes big here ; the world of stretch is an amplified hollywood . we\u2019re introduced to the limo - driving world as the drivers assist actors like norman reedus , david hassellhoff , and ray liotta with tasks that range from running props back to studio lots to disposing of dead hookers . these guys are all great sports , poking fun of themselves with no regret .\nwith the exception of the character narrator and the cinematic device of the voice - over , the traces of a narrating agency are virtually invisible , so that the term \u201cfilm narrator\u201d is employed as hardly more than a metaphor . disagreements over terminology sprung up from the beginnings of film theory . thus the term \u201cfilm language , \u201d if not used for a system of signs as was done by the formalists , bore the implication that there must also be a \u201cspeaker\u201d of such a language . modeling cinema after literature in this way , however , runs counter to cinema as an independent art form . for this reason , \u0117jxenbaum transferred the structuring of cinematographic meaning to \u201cnew conditions of perceptions\u201d : it is the viewer who moves \u201cto the construction of internal speech\u201d ( [ 1926 ] 1973 : 123 ) .\nfor anyone the least bit familiar with carnahan\u2019s work , stretch will come as no surprise . carnahan could easily be described as a director interested in masculinity . he\u2019s a \u201ctough guy\u201d cinema director , making the movie equivalent to beef jerky . i like beef jerky and i like carnahan\u2019s films . i like the outlandish nature of his movies , the \u201canything can happen\u201d narratives , and he consistently brings actors along for the ride that are just as willing and excited about starring in something crazy . while his films such as narc and the grey show he can also delve competently into serious cinema , his movies such as smokin\u2019 aces and even the a - team show he knows how to have a little fun , stretch falls comfortably into that latter category .\njames badge dale ( \u201cthe lone ranger\u201d ) has joined the cast of universal and blumhouse prods . \u2019 action -

- we keep budgets low to give directors creative freedom and let them take risks . we only make money when the films go wide , but we are proud of every film we do . \u201d\nthere\u2019s a nice veneer of mathematics in the film \u2013 for example , the equations on the board are textbook general relativity equations , which is nice for a science geek . later on , the script suggests the equations don\u2019t work because scientists don\u2019t understand how gravity and quantum mechanics work together , and that\u2019s fair enough . but the film resolves this by sending a robot down into a black hole to send back \u201cquantum data\u201d - that doesn\u2019t really make any sense . it sounds like something they just made up as a plot device with no physics behind it .\nwhen maryland started its current film tax credit program a few years ago , supporters wanted the state to set aside at least $ 15 million each year to reimburse television and movie producers who choose to film in the state , creating thousands of jobs , pumping money into the local economy and creating a buzz that can attract tourists . they only got $ 7 . 5 million per year , so now the state\u2019s movie czars have to come crawling back to annapolis each year to ask for more money . last year they scored $ 25 million . this year they want at least $ 18 . 5 million .\nlike us , nic doesn ' t buy it , and he ' s impatient with being observed in a locked room while damon rations out information . so he macgyvers himself some escape strategies and starts moving this film away from less -

her father attempts to reconcile after a long split and abandonment . minor characters are largely selfishly motivated to one degree or another and not particularly compassionate .\nten years ago it would probably have received a warm reception , but there is quite enough misery to be found on the non - fiction shelves just now , so , in fiction , we\u2019re currently very much into happy stories with happy endings .\nit is not often that at book based on a screenplay turns out to be a winner , but not another happy ending proved itself to be one of those rare gems . author david solomon also wrote the screenplay for this quirky , set - in - scotland , romantic comedy that pokes fun at the publishing industry , so it is no surprise that the story survives the transition from screen to print . the film / novel tells the story of jane lockheart , a twenty - something aspiring writer and lover of all things miserable , whose no\nwhen did i say that only haters dislike the ending ? in fact i mentioned that i realized that there are true fans of the show who really dislike the ending . clearly they aren ' t haters .\n\u201ci had a blast with karen on we\u2019ll take manhattan , \u201d he says . \u201cshe played shrimpton very well , but shrimpton , in the way i portrayed her , is quite a quiet , intense , introverted person , and when i got to know karen , i got to know that\u2019s not really her at all : she was acting that . actually , karen is a very bubbly , vibrant , energetic , funny , slightly clumsy person , and i realised that the script i had for not another happy ending was a great fit for her . \u201d\njohn mckay\u2019s favourite scottish film is local hero , a popular choice amongst locals and outsiders alike , and he attributes that to writer - director bill forsyth\u2019s ability to make \u201cthese really charming , smart movies that scots people like , but other people could really get behind as well\u201d , which might explains his enthusiasm for not another happy ending , which he described as \u201c [ feeling ] much more like the kind of film i like coming out of america or france\u201d .\nhow far can a film go based solely on the performance of its star ? turns out a fair distance if scottish rom - com not another happy ending is anything to go by . doctor who star karen gillan , in her first leading movie role , carries this film by the scruff of the neck with a quirky and well - measured performance as an up - and - coming novelist who ' s struggling to get the creative juices flowing on her second book .\nironical title . . . . completely but then again . . . . its chick lit ! ! ! i don ' t understand why is boy meet girl , they fall in love and lived happily every after concept so appealing to the masses ? ? ? why couldn ' t this genuinely have been a not so happy ending . . . . the book was going in the perfect direction and then the same cliche ending . loved the style but not so much the story of this one . the narrative techhnique the attention to detailed characterization and all is great but still doesn ' t make up for my disappointment in the ending .\ncertainly , no one seems to have suffered much while making \u201c not another happy ending \u201d : gillan and weber have no romantic rapport onscreen , but work with bright professionalism throughout on characters who demand little of them . ( \u201ci don\u2019t even know you , \u201d jane says to tom after an early argument , speaking for the audience in the process . ) of the uniformly underwritten supporting roles , ian de caestecker scores most winningly as tom\u2019s cynical but soft - hearted roommate .\nthe last time i spoke to john mckay , cast rehearsals were just beginning for not another happy ending , as a crowdfunding campaign early in the challenge of financing the film came to an end . mckay enthused at the time about the hot french actor \u2013 stanley weber \u2013 that he\u2019d picked up to play the male lead , and about co - star karen gillan\u2019s bubbly personality . there was some expectation in my mind that the film would show up at the following year\u2019s edinburgh international film festival .\nlike an overstuffed souffl\u00e3\u00a9 , however , not another happy ending has a few too many ingredients to really register as a top - tier romantic comedy . plot threads dangle unfinished or underdeveloped , such as jane ' s relationship with her estranged father and a newbie author ( skins ' s freya mavor ) getting set up as a potential threat before getting swept under the carpet . naturally there ' s romantic tension between jane and tom , but this is never fleshed out in any kind of satisfying way .\nit\u2019s a predictable story , i grant you . i doubt anyone reading this synopsis will have any doubt about the film\u2019s end , but considering the conclusion is a ) true of most rom - coms and b ) what we pay to see , we can let that point slide . what makes not another happy ending more charming than most rom - coms is the fact that it\u2019s relatable , plausible , set in scotland ( which makes a nice change ) , and the chemistry between the two leads is palpable from the beginning .\ni go with alt . i ' m not even mentioning that the makers packed all the important stuff into 1 episode during the official ending - some comments already cover that . something else is bothering me : although it ' s still a bit unfair , that robin didn ' t get her chance to be 100 % happy , the alt is still more soothing . sometime back i wanted ted and robin together but not like this . the official ending destroyed everything that was built through the series . all this talk about the universe paying back , all this talk about ultimate happiness waiting just around the corner and happy - ever - afters - to - be was flushed down the toilet . yes , ted , wait and suffer , the happiness will come , but then , no , wait , life happens . he still had his kids , but it was all so cruel . same with robin and barney . i rooted for them so much . i thought robin was the one who will make barney ultimately happy , and the other way around . but as it turned out - after they divorced - the only thing that was able to completely satisfy barney was a child . that means robin never had the chance to make him 100 % happy . tbh , i hoped her diagnosis would turn out false with barney , and they would have the 2 kids that were shown in one of the robin ' s episodes . summary - no happy endings . no happy ending in the show that was all about happy , unrealistic even , endings . i felt so betrayed .\nchris fujiwara , artistic director of the festival , added : \u201cspeaking as somebody who , before coming to scotland , knew scotland partly through its portrayal in films , i\u2019m really excited to find in not another happy ending a fresh , interesting , and almost idyllic take on the cultural vibrancy of scottish city life . the film also shows how well the time - honoured genre of romantic comedy can work in the contemporary scottish context . the film will add just the right note of celebration with which to close our festival this year . \u201d\ngiven the cliffhanger we\u2019ve been handed tonight whether laura palmer is really alive or not , and whether that leads to another season , it\u2019s obvious lynch has a hard time quitting the homecoming queen , and moving on to another case . while x - files drew inspiration from twin peaks , it\u2019s an understatement to say that lynch really never wanted to build something akin to x - files with its cases of the week in twin peaks .\nironical title . . . . completely but then again . . . . its chick lit ! ! ! i don ' t understand why is boy meet girl , they fall in love and lived happily every after concept so appealing to the masses ? ? ? why couldn ' t this genuinely have been a not so happy ending . . . . the book was going in the perfect direction and then the same cliche ending . loved the style but not so much the story of this one . the narrative techhnique the attention to detailed characterization and all is great but still doesn ' t make up for m\n\u201cwe had a thing going on with not another happy ending in that we were trying to elude the two eminent styles of scottish filmmaking : the gritty , crime - and - drugs movie , and the vain nessie and greyfriar\u2019s bobby movie . there are great examples of both of those movies , it\u2019s just that it\u2019s boring when there\u2019s only two sorts you can make . if i had an ambition for us , it would be : a thousand flowers bloom . i think we should be making all sorts of stories in all sorts of styles . \u201d\nshe never should have died and barney and robin never should have divorced . i wrote a song about the crappy ending : urltoken\n\u2022 david solomons was born in glasgow and now lives in dorset with his wife , author natasha solomons , and young son . his writing credits include screenplays for the great ghost rescue ( 2011 ) , five children and it ( 2004 ) and the fabulous bagel boys ( 2001 ) . this is an extract from not another happy ending , out now in paperback and published by mira . it is based on solomons\u2019 own screenplay for the film of the same name , rom - com starring karen gilian ( doctor who\u2019s amy pond ) and french actor stanley weber .\nagreed . i don ' t mind that the mother dies . what i had an issue with is the robin and ted ending . while this new ending is one i would have rather seen . it doesn ' t really explain anything and ignores all those foreshadowing . bays and thomas really just did not know how to end their show after extending it to 8 years .\nclaire and mark are staying together using the tapes , which was maybe not what was expected . i\u2019ve always liked the realistic , not - so - happy ending for that story , like with the sydney pollack character in husbands and wives who sees them back together and is like , \u201cthat doesn\u2019t seem right , \u201d but it\u2019s real . we had to wrap up so many things in that dinner scene , but we could\u2019ve gone into that in more detail and shown how sad it is that they are back together .\nthe ending ( original and alternative too ) of himym was disconnected to the rest of the series . the series was a puzzle , but the puzzle was not solved at the end . they were not able to execute the genre , the authors have created . but that was not the only problem . barney , lily , marshall and even robin were irrelevant in the end . they dismissed the growth of the characters ( especially barney and robin , but also lily and marshall ) .\ndo not upload anything which you do not own or are fully licensed to upload . the images should not contain any sexually explicit content , race hatred material or other offensive symbols or images . remember : abuse of the urltoken image system may result in you being banned from uploading images or from the entire site \u2013 so , play nice and respect the rules !\ndavid solomons has been writing screenplays for many years . his first feature film was an adaptation of \u2018five children and it\u2019 ( starring kenneth branagh and eddie izzard , with gala screenings at the toronto and tribeca film festivals ) . his latest film is a romantic comedy set in the world of publishing , \u2018not another happy ending\u2019 ( karen gillan , iain de caestecker ) , which closed the edinburgh international film festival . my brother is a superhero is his first novel for children . he was born in glasgow and now lives in dorset with his wife ( and novelist ) natasha , and son , luke .\nto say that the finale surprised the heck out of some of the fans is a understatement . i think the finale was original and meaningful , while the fans are displeased because we all wanted the typical fairytale - happily - ever - after ending . i think the fact that so many of the fans felt incredibly sad that the mom died is knowing that we will never have another chance to meet the mom ( more ) , even though the season was clearly ending . i am not pleased by the ending when i first saw it , but i could agreed with bay and thomas by sticking to their decision back when they first decided to film himym . either way , i still love the show very much .\nafter that , there\u2019s all the endings in a row . what was your thinking behind that \u2014 to give everyone a type of happy ending ? as is often the case , it seems , we are just making lemonade out of the situation we had . we had so many things we wanted to hit to wrap up this year , and so it kept piling on , and we were like , \u201cthis is way too many endings and way too much ending material , \u201d and then at a certain point , we were like , \u201cokay , let\u2019s lean into that . \u201d we were never quite sure how much to do that until we got into the edit . we were seeing this constant \u201cone week later , \u201d \u201cone month later , \u201d \u201cone year later\u201d being funny to us . i\u2019m happy with the never - ending ending . that ties up what , as a viewer , i want to see .\nwith her debut novel ,\nhappy ending\n, jane lockhart ( karen gillan ) pulled off that rare double - critical acclaim and mainstream success . but now , with just the last chapter of the follow - up novel to write , she encounters crippling writer ' s block . she has no idea how her story ends . . . this is not good news for her publisher , tom . his company is up against the wall financially and the only thing that will save him is a hit , in the form of jane ' s next novel . when he discovers that his most important author is blocked , tom knows he has to unblock her or he ' s finished . everyone knows you have to be miserable to write well , and tom realises that the only way he ' s going to get her to finish the novel is to make her life a misery . with the help of his best friend and cynical , child - hating high school teacher , roddy , he sets about trying to dismantle the things in jane ' s life that make her happy . meanwhile , jane ' s block spirals out of control - to the point where her fictional characters , twiddling their thumbs in the not - happening novel , intrude into her real life . her heroine , darsie , is terrified that jane won ' t give her the ending she desires because jane has given up on her own happy ending . will tom , or darsie , manage to get jane writing again , and create a happy ending for everyone ?\ni had no idea that this was the book of a film when i picked it up , so i started reading with no precoceptions . half way through i saw that there was a film of the same name , and assumed that the book came before the film . now i know that the film came first , i ' m even more impressed . the transition from page to screen , or screen to page , is never an easy one , but although i haven ' t seen the film yet , the book of not another happy ending works so well . i read a lot of na and ya books , but i do ha\nkaitlin , i agree with your assessment on the alternate ending . usually i have things i want to comment on but i am in total agreement .\nnot another happy ending is shot beautifully , with ireland as its backdrop . the characters are pretty vivid and quirky but often flat and lacking the necessary chemistry . but the premise here - - of a publisher finagling with his writer ' s everyday happiness so she will write better , aka more miserably - - is simply too fantastical to get behind , and it ' s a key component to the movie ' s major plot . plus , the myth of the depressive author is just that - - a myth - - and here , the genre and its shorthand stereotypes about the writing life are missing the fresh take that might make this more memorable .\nthe creators forgot they were making a romantic comedy . with a rom com , sure you have heartache and heartbreak , but not at the freaking end ! the ending is uplifting , the ending is supposed to give you hope and put a smile on your face . let me ask you this , remember the ending of friends ? when rachel was taking a plane to another job and another life and there was a moment of uncertainty about whether she would instead get off the plane and return to the love of her life ross ? she did , she got off the plane and the show ended with them together again . but imagine if instead she had decided to leave . or even worse , imagine if the plane had crashed and she had been killed . do you think that friends would still have the enduring cult status it does or would people have turned against it when the 10 years of devotion turned to ashes in their mouths ? the creators forgot they were making something that is enjoyable to watch and instead tried to make a drama about how love isn ' t what you think it is and not where you look for it . we don ' t want realism . we want escapism . we want a goddamn tv show , not real life .\nthe end was horrible and im still not over it . but not just because of ted and robin . there was sooo much wrong with it . marshall and lily ' s story was never really shown . what are the names of their kids ? what does lily work as now etc . barney who suddenly acts like 10 years ago and then the most cliche story with the baby . . . . so at least people got angry about the ending because i bet if that robin and ted scene would have not happened no one would have probably cared that much\nideal ending given the circumstances : the mother dies , the camera cuts to ted saying\nand that , kids , is how i met your mother ,\nfade to black , cue end credits . no getting back together with robin , no cheesy history montage , just that . though i liked the ending that aired . the final narration in that ending was a perfect summary of the show ' s thesis , and didn ' t need to be the recap version .\nyou asked us to complement that list with one like this that counts down happy endings . not just \u201cthe show got cancelled and the gay lady was still alive\u201d endings , but truly triumphant story resolutions . lesbian and bisexual characters who received fitting and worthy send - offs that were comparable to the ones the show\u2019s straight characters received .\nto the credit of not another happy ending though , karen gillan getting her kit off was less contrived . suffering from writer\u2019s block , jane decides to take her boyfriend\u2019s advice and write in the buff , in the hope it will help free her inhibitions and in turn her mental block . in other words , the perfect set up for tom to walk in and catch her . still , its inclusion does appear to be purely for the purpose of titillation , and therefore gillan\u2019s insistence the experience was actually alright to shoot , is tainted by the disappointment they resorted to that old trick and made her do it in the first place . the film was lovely as it was and didn\u2019t need that addition .\nwhen a struggling publisher discovers his only successful author is blocked he knows he has to unblock her or he ' s finished . with her newfound success , she ' s become too damn happy and she can ' t write when she ' s happy . the only trouble is , the worse he makes her feel , the more he realises he ' s in love with her .\nparents need to know that not another happy ending is a british romcom about a writer ' s maudlin memoir about her father ' s abandonment , with brief mentions of her mother ' s death and father ' s subsequent addiction . it features brief nudity ( female rear end , side boob ) , a few instances of\nf - - k ,\nprofanity throughout , casual drinking , and implied casual sex . it focuses heavily on the isolating writing process , writer ' s block , and aspects of being published or having work adapted to the big screen . nothing particularly shocking here , but the language , relationship stuff , and paternal abandonment make it a tad heavy for a romantic comedy and best for older teens .\ni hated the original . i agree that bays and thomas never intended for it to end any other way and i wouldn ' t be surprised if they scrapped that ending together after the finale wrath . i saw it when it was up and it was super corny but at least it was a happy ending . ted and robin may be happy for some fans , but the divorce and death to get there were very depressing . the show is essentially a romantic comedy and should end that way . the wire could end on a melancholy note because the show definitely wasn ' t a ball of sunshine . the tone of the last episode didn ' t match the series and that ' s why it fell flat to me .\nwhen a struggling publisher discovers his only successful author is blocked he knows he has to unblock her or he ' s finished . with her newfound success , she ' s become too damn happy and he thinks she can ' t write when she ' s happy . the only trouble is , the worse he makes her feel , the more he realises he is in love with her . . .\nsorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .\nit may not have the bite of a bridesmaids , but in gillan ' s sparky performance there ' s enough to keep you engaged for the duration .\ntulip talks to god , and it\u2019s not a pleasant conversation , and we learn a little more custer family history in one of season three\u2019s funniest episodes .\nseems every one who was outraged - a season later , which can be a lifetime , have cooled their jets and seem content with the ending that aired . . . .\none thing to keep in mind , is that this was always meant to be the ending . this is ending was created before filming of the show even started , and the scene of the kids calling out ted for being in love with robin was filmed between filming of season 1 and 2 . this ending was always the ending they were going to go with , no matter who ted ended up with . that ' s why through the entire show it is referenced that ted is supposed to end up with robin ; marshall ' s\nnot yet\nwhen robin and barney get engaged , robin ' s insistence after the engagement that she ' s sure she was supposed to marry ted , ted ' s constant return to being in love with robin at least once a season . the creators did all this on purpose , because this was the plan since the show was in development .\nthe ending has two sections , so let\u2019s first start with the reveal that reagan\u2019s nuclear threat was a trick . how did that come up ? my best recollection is that we just did a lot of brainstorming . we knew early on that we wanted this plot involving the nuclear bomb and the president and all that , and somewhere in the earlyish stages of plotting out the season , the idea came up to make it a game , not so much to explain the insanity of it , because there\u2019s plenty of insanity already in whas , but to give it a good ending . i remembered seeing the movie the game by david fincher and i thought the movie was okay , but the ending made it great .\ni hate barney and robin\u2019s divorce , i hate it i hate it i hate it . but the main reason i don\u2019t like original ending , is because we don\u2019t know what happens to barney , robin , or marshall & lily . characters we know and love , we never hear from again . they clearly rushed the ending , to finish off the series , instead of how we wanted it , slowly , just like the rest of the series . even if it takes a few more seasons . other than that , the original ending was perfect .\nit was so rushed that is seemed like the wrote it in 15 minutes , even though they probably knew this ending 9 years earlier . m & l ; never should have gone to italy . it was too predictable that she would get her way and that his judgeship would somehow be waiting for him . i wrote a song about how bad the ending was : urltoken\nthe printer spewed out another copy of the manuscript , and as she waited for the four hundred pages of her thus far ill - starred debut to stack up she hoisted the sash window , leaned on the sill and took a deep breath .\nsome people didn ' t liked finale coz ppl expects normal and happy ending for all the characters , which actually is far from reality . and if ted & tracy have been together forever , there was no meaning or sense on starting the pilot from the time ted met robin . the finale make perfect sense and even after knowing finale , i love to read repeated telecast . kudos to bays & thomas .\nstill , the middleton sisters apparently generate millions of clicks , and papers need to be sold . and everyone wants a happy ending . maybe , after the soon - to - be mrs . matthews drifts off into the sunset on her honeymoon this weekend , the feverish interest will die down for a while . until she starts trying for a baby , when the whole circus will begin again . bottoms up !\nthe series if filled with red herrings so you could never trully say tracy was dying , fake outs are common so why not got the extra mile ? also if people where expecting tracy to die . . . would it be pointless to call it a twist ? the ending with bob saget is the perfect book end to the series it ' s more even my only regret is they changed the songs in the end , despite how crappy the ending was . . . those songs where a bright spot in all of this . . .\nwtf . . . . . this show had happiest end ive ever seen . . . . . u need 2 rewatch whole series , not over 9 year period .\ni agree that the alternate ending leaves a lot of unanswered questions , like what the heck happened to barney and robin . that being said i have a problem with the entire finale episode not just the ending . they spent season 8 & 9 developing this incredible love story for barney and robin only to squash it in this episode ; barney and robin have epic chemistry all through out the season and would have made perfect sense for them to get married . two , they killed off the mother who was actually perfect for ted , with all the build up from 8 seasons ; she was accepted and killed at the same time . the season should have had the alternate ending in my opinion , but the story should have also let barney & robin be together .\ni think the original ending of the series is perfect . ted ' s kids are right - - the show is about ted and robin , so it makes sense that they would end up together . the ending also gives the title of the show another meaning if robin ends up marrying ted . of course , it ' s all in the viewer ' s imagination , because we don ' t know what happens next . but the show is about hope , it ' s about letting go of the pain of the past and moving forward and trying to make the most out of each day . that ' s what the last season was about also . it was not about robin and barney ' s wedding ; it was about ted and tracy letting go of the past . it was also about ted still loving robin and loving her enough to let her go . it seems people are upset that the creators had an ending in mind early on and stuck to it . what ' s wrong with that ? no matter how many seasons the show lasted , they brought everything together in the last season and told the story they wanted to tell . i can ' t think of another show as creative and clever and funny . i think people are just pissed it ' s over .\nthe original ending was almost perfect . the only real problem was robin and barney ' s divorce . as has been pointed out by others , it completely obviated the progress they both made to be able to commit to one another . i don ' t wish to outrage anyone , but wouldn ' t it have been a great plot twist if robin and barney got divorced because barney had an epiphany and realized he was gay ? they parted as loving friends and no one judged barney badly . robin reconnected with ted as part of the process of dealing with the loss of her marriage . ted and robin fell in love again when they discovered they were ready for each other in ways they had not been ten or fifteen years earlier . i ' m not sayin ' , i ' m just sayin ' .\n\u201cwe want audiences to be charmed and leave the cinema feeling great , so it\u2019s fitting that our film will be a very happy finale to what will be an exceptional year at the festival , \u201d said the film\u2019s producer , claire mundell .\nwhen a struggling publisher discovers his only successful author is blocked he knows he has to unblock her or he ' s finished . with her newfound success , she ' s become too damn happy and she . . . see full summary \u00bb\nyeah , the ending shouldn ' t have pissed you off as much as the last five seasons . personally i liked the ending because it meant it was over . we should have alternate endings on the nightly news - - wouldn ' t that be great ? nah , no one was killed in an extremely lucky turn of events . alternate endings . . . just the way life is . . .\nit certainly did ; it\u2019s nothing other than this year\u2019s closing film , earning it a fancy world premi\u00e8re at edinburgh\u2019s festival theatre , with the red carpet rolled out for its stars . \u201ci\u2019m pretty happy with the film , \u201d says mckay , but it\u2019s hard to believe that\u2019s not an understatement . i asked him if it came out how he expected . \u201cnothing ever turns out how you imagine it\u2019s going to turn out . \u201d\ni felt like the finale , although sad , was fitting for the show . we always knew that ted wasn ' t completely over robin , he was successful in creating an organic love with the mother of his kids . this show always did have a tragic feel to it underneath all the laughs , and while i absolutely loved the mother , i was satisfied with the ending . the alternative ending just didn ' t pack the emotional punch that the finale did . although i understand why some people either felt cheated or took too much of an emotional hit by the mother ' s death , that was a reason why i loved the ending .\nyou edited it to not have a clear ending ? yeah . there were different tweaks we made just to pitch it in exactly the right way , but she does say in the dinner scene , \u201ci\u2019m going to use the money to do something for a friend , \u201d which to me is an implication that she\u2019s going to spend the money to cure mitch of his canned fate . that\u2019s one possible interpretation .\ndoes this new , alternate ending change my opinion of the finale ? no\u2014while it doesn ' t anger me as much as ted ending up with robin , it ' s essentially a cop - out that doesn ' t really commit to anything . do i like it more than the original ? sure , in theory . but even though it was ( presumably ) finished before the series finale aired , it comes off as an attempt to appease fans who felt jilted by the ending that bays and thomas ultimately chose . i can ' t fault the folks behind himym for wanting to mend fences , because a lot of fans were very upset by the finale ; it potentially\nruined\nthe series for some people . but i do wonder whether they ' d always planned to release this ending , or whether it was included as a dvd extra to soothe the burn .\noh , and by the way , seems like audrey horne is still missing in the netherworld , a white room . that\u2019s another cliffhanger . if you remember at the end of episode 16 , she flashed out of the bang bang bar after doing her dance , just as a brawl ensued .\ni think we can all admit that the bomb girls movie was a mess , but it did give betty a mostly happy ending . no one knows for sure if kate moved into the house betty bought for her because she finally reciprocated betty\u2019s big gay feelings , but everyone can say for absolute sure that betty bought a house , a thing she\u2019d been trying to do since the very beginning of season one ! and she did it by winning a boxing match like a regular ol\u2019 rocky balboa !\nokay , i may not actually read this book for two reasons : 1 . it is not readily available locally . 2 . it turns out that it is a novelization of the movie , when i was hoping the movie was based on a book . i just watched the movie online and it had the feel of an adaptation that maybe had to leave some things out . still , i liked the movie well enough . it was a nice , little , fluffy rom - com . it was relatively clean , though there was one person ' s naked backside , but done in a slapstick , funny way , not in\ni think they should have added a scene where tracy reminds ted that after her boyfriend max died she learned to love again ( with ted ) and that she encourages him to do the same . that would soften the ending a bit .\njane lockhart has a whole pile of rejections from publishers . in fact she has them pinned up on the wall and refers to it as her board of pain . however she\u2019s not giving up \u2013 although she\u2019s exhausted most of the publishers and agents , she prints yet another copy of her manuscript and takes it to tristesse books , a local publisher in glasgow . it\u2019s owned and run by a frenchman named tom duval who is famous for falling out with authors he\u2019s published . and several that he hasn\u2019t . despite what he sees\n' ' why is it that the saddest endings always seem the truest ? in the stories i told myself i was always the heroine - always reaching for my happy ending . ' ' this is a delightful , cute , deliciously quirky love story . a story of two young people who are complete opposites . an intelligent and talented writer and an obnoxious , fierce publisher . it is an engaging light read for a bookish person that doesn ' t really enjoy romance that much . jane is a wonderful character , her thoughts and motions mirrori\na man punches another in the face , knocking him out and bloodying his nose ; a woman imagines banging a man ' s head against his typewriter ; two men joke about killing a woman ' s dog to make her sad ; a woman throws a book and an award at a man ' s head out of anger .\ni had no idea that this was the book of a film when i picked it up , so i started reading with no precoceptions . half way through i saw that there was a film of the same name , and assumed that the book came before the film . now i know that the film came first , i ' m even more impressed . the transition from page to screen , or screen to page , is never an easy one , but although i haven ' t seen the film yet , the book of not another happy ending works so well . i read a lot of na and ya books , but i do have a penchant for a bit of chick - lit too , which is how i would classify this book . it ' s not deep , it ' s not going to change anyone ' s life , but it is a really good , enjoyable read . the characters are brilliant , which i guess in hindsight may be because they already exist in the film . but they have really been brought to life in the book as well . the story is interesting and fun , and while there ' s a certain amount of will - they / won ' t - they , it does have a bit of originality to it . you ' ll laugh , you ' ll cry , you ' ll shout at the rude , sexy frenchman , and you ' ll inevitably go ' ahhhh ' . i really , really want to see the film after reading the book , which can only be a rather marvelous endorsement of it .\njames matthews was educated at uppingham school but did not go to college , instead initially following his father into motor sports . he then entered a finance career as a trader in london , before setting up eden rock in 2001 .\ni never cared why ted was telling the story - to me after nine years all that mattered was seeing the moment\nhow ted met the mother\n. i didn ' t care one bit about what happened after that . so after all that build up - they totally ruined that moment by not making it the biggest moment of the show . the sad thing is the exchange between ted and the mother was great but completely tossed aside for another ted still isn ' t over robin - just shoot me in the head moment . ruined the entire series for me ."]}

the travancore sisters ' initiation into films happened accidentally when an uncle of theirs invited renowned dancer uday shankar for dinner during one of their visits to mumbai . uday shankar called the sisters to madras to act in a film based on dance which he was planning to make .\nvilaiyaattu pillai was released on 20 february 1970 .

up changed when films changed to colour from black and white .\nmy first colour film was ' valli ' in tamil . make - up was completely different in colour . in black and white , we would apply dark make - up with shades but in colour , it was pinkish and plain .\nafter nargis left rk studios , padmini was the first actress to join it . the sisters knew nargis and raj kapoor from 1953 onwards . it was at a cricket match between the film stars of bombay and madras that they met nargis . while padmini scored the highest for madras , nargis did so for bombay . from that day onwards , both became good friends .\nphilendran returns to the palace and is heart broken when he comes to know about the fate of his wife and children . he leaves the palace to search for them . he finds them in the forest , misunderstandings are cleared , philendran and gnanasundari return to the palace with their children . annisha and kathri are forgiven by gnanasundari and the film ends with prayers to virgin mary .\n\u201ckumari\u201d kamala , born in 1934 in a family of artists , debuted in the film \u2018valibar sangam\u2019 ( 1938 ) and later in \u2018ramanama mahimai \u2018 ( 1939 ) as baby kamala , while she was only four years old . she also appeared as a child artist in hindi films like \u2018kismet\u2019 and \u2018ram rajya\u2019 in 1943 . those days this young danseuse was very popular in the movies .\nthe last film of the late g aravindan , vaasthuhara ( mohanlal and shobhana played the lead ) in which padmini had essayed a small role . was curious to know how she ended up acting in an aravindan film .\nmy son had gone to meet aravindan . aravindan asked him whether i would act in his vaasthuhara . i accepted the role only because i wanted to work with him as i had heard a lot about him . he would barely talk on the sets . if he wanted to tell us something , he would come near us and tell us in a very low voice . he never interfered in our acting . we were given full freedom . some directors make such a lot of fuss . but aravindan was very different and i enjoyed the experience .\nthe song impressed one and all at jupiter so much that it was used three times in\nabhimanyu\n. first , it was sung by the hero in the beginning ( it was sung off - screen by the well known ` playback ' singer tiruchi loganathan . ) the heroine ( jeevarathnam ) sang it solo and then the lead pair sang it as a duet . not surprisingly , it was a big hit and so was the film .\nthe songs in both the films were good . in this case , however , \u2018krishna kuchela ' scored . there were 22 songs in this film . written by p . bhaskaran and tuned by k . raghavan some of them like \u2018omanakuttan govindan\u2026 ' ( shanta p . nair ) , \u2018marayalle mayalle radhey\u2026 ' ( k . raghavan ) , \u2018umma nalkuthengineyamma\u2026 ' ( p . susheela ) and \u2018varnippathengine nin\u2026 ' ( m . l . vasanthakumari - p . leela ) turned hugely popular .\nshe then compared the 1940s , when the sisters shone in films , and the 1990s .\nthere is not much of a difference between then and now . of course , technically , films have improved a lot . those days , we used to concentrate only on one film at a time . we used to read the full script and discuss it with the director who was the most important person . and , most of the directors in those days were studio owners and they themselves were the producers .\n, \u2019 produced under the banner of \u2018vrindavan pictures\u2019 was an adaptation of the legend of bilwamangal , sanskrit poet and an ardent devotee of lord krishna . this legend has been the theme of many an indian film . in fact , various states claim him as their own . the ancient sanskrit epic poem \u2018sree krishna karnamrutham , \u2019 supposed to have been written by him , gives evidence of the life and time of bilwamangal , known as vilwamangalam swamiyar , in kerala . the story of \u2018chilamboli\u2019 revolves around guruvayoor temple and surroundings .\nbaby saroja further acted in two more movies , \u201c thyaga bhoomi\u201d & \u201ckamadhenu\u201d which were very popular . in the film \u2018kamadhenu\u2019 ( 1941 ) , saroja\u2019s mother & father too acted in lead roles . after that baby saroja hung her boots & did not act in more movies , but not without leaving an indelible mark on tamil screen of yester years . indian cinema has seen many child stars . but none attracted the sobriquet : shirley temple of india , \u201cbaby saroja\u2019 , now in her eighties , lives in chennai as saroja ramamrutham .\nthe malayalam version was released during christmas time , december 22 , 1961 . it was a true copy of the citadel version . though the story and script by muttathu varkey was based on a novel of the same title authored by him , the dialogues closely resembled that written by nanjil t . n . rajappa for the tamil version . except for the hero and the heroine , the names of the other characters were changed in the malayalam film . the malayalam version was a success , but not as successful as the tamil original .\naccordingly , they spoke to the head of the music department and noted film music composer of that period , s . m . subbaiah , and while discussing the downsizing of his unit staff he revealed a secret , which startled ` jupiter ' somu . he had an all - purpose assistant , a boy from kerala , who carried the music director ' s harmonium and did such menial tasks . subbaiah insisted that this boy should not be sent out but go with him to madras . why ? the boss wondered ! then the beans spilled out of the bag .\nwas released . it had beautiful scenes and melodious songs . they had made it at enormous expense . but it was not able to distinguish itself . why ? because it had a female ( sundarambal ) playing a man . in a stage play , one can appreciate things like make up or facial expressions . but in a movie you have to depict nandan ' s story realistically . however we try we can not picture sundarambal as nandanar . if we kept seeing sundarambal and not nandan , how can we experience nandan ' s story and how can the film succeed ?\nchild artistes are not new to us as cine goers . many mainstream tamil film actors , such as kamal haasan , meena , sridevi , shalini , kushboo , simbu , hansika , and more debuted as child artistes . besides , there are even more who were celebrities as children , but eventually moved away into oblivion . in our current context here , we will be looking at some of the \u2018exotic\u2019 child artistes who may not be even well known today but who , nevertheless , ruled the roost in the early \u2018period\u2019 films during the good old black & white talkie era .\nindeed the boy had acted in a small role in\nkannagi\nas the ` boy ' kovalan , along with t . v . ratnam who played the young kannagi ( later , she made a mark as a successful off - screen ` playback ' singer with many hits to her credit . sadly , the producers and director ( r . s . mani ) felt that the boy was not fit for that role and he was removed and the footage shot scrapped as ` no good ; ( ` n , g . ' in film - land lingo ) . and the boy went back to his ` hey - you ' job .\nthere were 10 songs in the film penned by abhayadev and set to music by v . dakshinamoorthy . some of the songs became super hits and have stood the test of time . the devotional song by p . leela ` kanya mariyame thaaye . . . ' is considered as one of the best christian devotional songs in malayalam cinema . the solos by kamukara purushothaman , ` mindaatha thenthanu thatthe . . . ' and ` panineer malarinorithal . . .

sansei poet david mura\u2019s poem gardens we have left , which mentions the deep impact that meeting gordon had on him ; and of course , gordon\u2019s own writings \u2013 articles , interviews , and letters he wrote in wwii as a college student at the university of washington .\nsakata has performed in many stage productions , working often with east west players ( ewp ) in los angeles . in 2002 she won the ovation award for lead actress in a play for her performance in chay yew ' s red at ewp . in 2007 , her first play , dawn ' s light : the journey of gordon hirabayshi , premiered at ewp .\nearlier this year , jeanne\u2019s voice work was featured in jennifer phang\u2019s acclaimed indie film advantageous , which world premiered at the sundance film festival\u2019s u . s . dramatic competition , and followed by showings in new york , los angeles , and san francisco . other feature film credits include playing mom wanda to olivia munn in the comedy the babymakers , xx2 : state of the union , and american fusion .\nwell known to los angeles theater fans , jeanne performed in the 2011 - 2014 seasons in the brothers paranormal at la jolla playhouse , blood at the geffen playhouse , hannah and the dread gazebo at the ojai playwrights conference , a cage of fireflies at the sundance institute theatre lab , seven at usc as cambodian human rights activist mu sochua and in julia cho\u2019s the language archive at east west players . an la ovation award winner for best lead actress for her cross - gender portrayal of master hua in chay yew\u2019s red at ewp , jeanne has performed regionally with the public theater , lincoln center theater , kennedy center , mark taper forum , la jolla playhouse , south coast rep , american conservatory theater , northlight theatre , intiman theatre , berkeley rep , a contemporary theatre , portland center stage , syracuse stage and the arizona theatre company . she received a 2013 monaco charity film festival award for best actress for her work in the indie film adultolescence , a stagescene \u201cbest of 2007\u201d outstanding performance mention for her performance as maria callas in ewp\u2019s master class , an entertainment today award for best supporting actress in chay yew\u2019s a winter people at theatre @ boston court , and a dramalogue award for outstanding performance for her work in jean genet\u2019s the maids at ewp .\na limited number of a / p / a - sponsored tickets are available for this performance and talkback . for nyu students , tickets are free ( limit 1 ) , but must be reserved with a $ 5 deposit ;

year span . after ryun and jess premiered the play at east west players in 2007 and took it to silk road rising in chicago , lisa rothe directed joel de la fuente in a production at the epic theatre ensemble in new york , that subsequently went to playmakers repertory honolulu theatre for youth , act seattle , and the guthrie . jess and ryun also took the play for a second time to act seattle , then portland center stage , and next year , they\u2019ll be at the arena stage .\nleslie ishii directed greg watanabe in a perseverance theatre production , and there have also been two other director - actor teams : daniel student and makoto hirano at players and players , and ron celona and blake kushi at caochella valley rep . marty yu played gordon in the first east west players high school tour . and finally , michael hisamoto will be doing the role in december at lyric stage company , directed by benny sato ambush . so , yes , literally an embarrassment of riches in terms of the brilliant artists and dear friends that have brought hold these truths to life over the last 10 years .\nwhen i first wrote the play , it was intended to be told only from the very personal perspective of gordon himself . after our world premiere in 2007 , i got a chance to workshop the play with the new york theatre workshop , and the main feedback there was that it would be a more powerful play if gordon\u2019s personal narrative were juxtaposed against the larger narrative about the social and political forces operating in 1940s america that led to this mass incarceration of american citizens .\nthe main reaction i\u2019ve gotten over the years is astonishment from audience members that they have never heard of gordon . his story is simply not in our history books , and that\u2019s a real shame .\nalso , as our country\u2019s politics have lurched to the right , with hate crimes against minority groups and anti - immigrant hysteria terrifyingly on the rise , more and more audience members seem to be viewing gordon\u2019s story as almost a direct response to threats and tragedies happening here and now .\none of the best moments for sure , was when the hirabayashi family \u2013 gordon\u2019s wife , children , nephews and grandchildren all came down to see the play in seattle . they loved the play , which was deeply gratifying , and i even ended up babysitting gordon\u2019s great - grandchild in the lobby so that his granddaughter could watch the show !\nthe greatest challenge was writing the first rough draft , which incorporated tons of historical research\u2014facts , data . but , above all , i wanted the play to tell a great story , vibrant and alive , and not just be a recitation of those facts . so i had to do a lot of cutting and reworking before i felt i had achieved that .\nthe title\nhold these truths\nrefers to the passage of the declaration of independence ,\nwe hold these truths to be self - evident : that all men are created equal .\ncan you talk about your thoughts on this as it applied in world war ii for japanese americans , and how this might apply now ?\ni think it would have been very difficult for most of the wwii japanese american community members to \u201chold the truths\u201d of their constitutional rights during that period of wartime , so rife with fear and hysteria and racial hostility , and to defy the government orders as gordon did .\nmany went into the camps , hoping that by cooperating with the government\u2019s orders , they would win the trust of the american government , and also the trust of their fellow americans .\nculturally , many were not brought up to resist the group dynamic , as japanese culture emphasizes the group over the individual , and putting the group\u2019s needs first . that\u2019s why gordon\u2019s defiance dismayed and shocked so many in his own community .\ntoday , if the government ordered americans of asian ancestry into concentration camps , i think the reaction would be very different \u2013 i think there would be much more active and impassioned resistance , because we have been able to absorb the lessons of our parents\u2019 suffering .\ni didn\u2019t have a specific process in mind when i started out \u2013 i just plunged in with great passion for the story , knowing that i had terrific mentors like chay yew , len berkman , and so many others to whom i owe so much .\nmy script is based on personal interviews that i and historians , including roger daniels , had with gordon , as well as letters and articles that gordon wrote . i also drew heavily from dr . peter irons\u2019 book justice at war , and my research on the wwii seattle japanese american community .\nin the script , i often used direct quotes of gordon\u2019s and stuck to the events as they actually happened whenever possible , but real life doesn\u2019t always fit into the structure of a good drama , so there is also some ficitonalization of events and conversations in the play , and some chronological changes and compression of events .\nin this production , gordon hirabayashi is played by ryun yu , who ' s not ethnically japanese ( it seems , please correct me if i ' m wrong ! ) . have people ever taken issue with this for your play or has this mainly been a non - issue ?\ngordon has been played by a korean american , a chinese american , a filipino american and three japanese americans \u2013 and gordon\u2019s wife told me she thought gordon himself would have been very pleased by that ! it hasn\u2019t been much of an issue , as i don\u2019t think this particular play demands an exact match of ethnicity . the larger requirement is that the actor cast can command a stage for 90 minutes solo , can bring gordon alive in a dramatically wonderful way , and have the versatility and virtuosity to create some 30 - plus other characters of different genders , ages , ethnicities and dialects !\nthat\u2019s a huge topic , and i can\u2019t cover it all here , but off the top of my head , i think of the phrase \u201ctwo steps forward and one step back . \u201d\nthere are reasons to be encouraged . there are more asian american series regulars than ever before , more indie filmmakers and screenwriters who are doing stellar work . there are amazing asian american playwrights who are in the spotlight now and who are getting regularly produced at our country\u2019s leading regional theaters .\nbut that progress is still slowed by whitewashing and limited perceptions on how apas can , and should , be cast .\ni hope first , that they will be inspired and uplifted to have shared in a great american story , so little known by most of the country , as i was . i hope they will feel the urgency of recognizing that we can never take our freedom and our constitutional rights for granted , that we have to be willing to fight for them , not just for ourselves , but for future generations . and i hope gordon\u2019s quiet heroism , his persistence and heart , will remind each of us that in our own individual ways , we can take small steps to build a world that may not be here yet , but that is still to come .\n8 p . m . tuesdays -

year anniversary coming full circle with east west involved with the pasadena playhouse this month ?\nit feels incredibly gratifying . east west players launched the play in 2007 with our world premiere , and since the script ( then titled dawn ' s light ) was new and untested , it was still in a lot of flux . i have vivid memories of wrestling with the script with jessica ( kubzansky , hold these truths ' director ) and ryun ( yu , the original gordon ) , who both contributed so generously to its development , along with the rest of the team - we were dissecting , cutting , adding , exploring moments from every angle , and then there was the thrill of watching it all come to life onstage for the very first time . and i remember walking into the gorgeous interior of the pasadena playhouse as a young actor , and hoping i would get to work there someday . so , this feels like a special l . a . homecoming in more ways than one .\nin the 1990 ' s , i saw on pbs , a documentary film made by john de graaf called a personal matter : hirabayashi vs . the united states , where i first learned about gordon . and i was just floored , because here was this absolutely riveting story about a young japanese - american college student who had taken such a brave stand for his rights as an american citizen , and i had never heard about him . it was fascinating , and enthralling , and also upsetting at the same time . i asked myself the same question that many people ask when they come to see the play -\nwhy haven ' t i heard this story before ? why isn ' t it in our history books ?\nafter that , i became absolutely obsessed with the story and determined that i was going to find out everything i could about it .\nthat ' s right . gordon adamantly refused to register for the camps on several occasions , baffling and confounding officials who couldn ' t figure out what to do with him . so , he never set foot in the camps as a prisoner , although he did visit a couple of them .\nhis immediate family - his mother and father : mitsu and shungo , and his sister and brothers : esther , richard , james and edward - they were all prisoners behind barbed wire at tule lake , along with all of his relatives who lived anywhere on the west coast .\nyes , i actually met gordon and his two brothers ed and james , all on the same day . gordon was visiting in california ' s bay area and he needed a ride from james ' place in mill valley to ed ' s in glen ellen , so he suggested i give him a ride and said we could do my first interview with him up at ed ' s . so , my husband and i drove him up there . gordon and ed started reminiscing over lunch and pretty soon they were just laughing and ribbing each other and telling stories about when they were kids . so i just sat there listening , taking it all in . and a story that ed told about the family\nofuro ,\nor their japanese - style outdoor wooden bath , made it into the beginning of the play . later on , when i finished a first rough draft , james read it and gave me a lot of great suggestions as well . he also sent me writings by shungo and mitsu , their parents , and more anecdotes and historical details . and finally , in seattle , i met and became good friends with his sister , esther , who passed away only recently ; she was the last surviving hirabayashi sibling .\nmy father ' s side of the family was living in my hometown of watsonville , california , on the west coast when wwii broke out - so , yes , my father and my aunts and uncles , and my grandparents , all had to pack up with just a few days ' notice , and abandon their homes and schools and business , and they were all imprisoned in the poston camp in arizona .\nno , never . if it was ever mentioned , it was in a very oblique way , and then they would quickly change the subject . later on , when i was older , and i was determined to learn more about the camps , i would ask my father questions ; but it was clear from his silences that he didn ' t want to discuss it . i didn ' t get much further with my aunts and uncles - just little bits of information given here and there , but almost secretively , like they weren ' t supposed to talk about it out loud . you could feel how deeply those experiences were buried , how traumatic it must have been for them\nallegiance was a tremendous achievement , and i take my hat off to all who had a hand in its making . if you had told me years ago there would be a broadway musical telling the story of the wwii japanese - american concentration camps in my lifetime , i ' m not sure i would have believed it . watching it onstage , i wished my parents were still alive , so that they ' d witness their history being acknowledged on the american stage like that . and i think what allegiance did so successfully was to illuminate the very painful schisms that emerged in the japanese - american community by the internees being forced to declare whether they would : 1 ) be willing to fight in the armed forces for the united states , and 2 ) be willing to swear unqualified allegiance to the united states and forswear all allegiance to the japanese emperor . the paralyzing question of whether to answer\nyes , yes\nor\nno , no\ncaused great panic and turmoil in the camps and tragically set friend against friend , family member against family member , often for a lifetime . the lasting impression i have of allegiance is watching george stand onstage at the end as the elderly sam kimura , finally forced against his will to come to terms with that schism in his community , in his family , in his own scarred psyche . it ' s a powerful moment i won ' t ever forget , especially knowing george as a friend , and all he went through during wwii with his own family .\ni ' ve been in touch with susan carnahan , gordon ' s second wife , over the years , and so when she told me that the hirabayashi family was going to the white house to accept the medal of freedom ' s on gordon ' s behalf , i was just so happy for all of them - and for gordon ' s legacy , because he has been an unsung american hero for so many decades , and still unknown to many americans . i wish this had happened in his lifetime , to have been honored at the very same white house whose occupants persecuted him in the 1940 ' s for standing up for the constitution . and when i watched the ceremony on the white house website , and president obama giving gordon ' s medal to susan , it was incredibly moving .\nthis happened when i was having talks with the epic theatre ensemble and others in new york about an east coast production . it was suggested that dawn ' s light , while being a beautiful image , didn ' t actually tell you much about what actually happens in the play . so , the brainstorming began for a new title . and i started riffing on phrases from the constitution , from the preamble , from the declaration , the most obvious of these being\nwe hold these truths . . .\n. and my friend zak berkman , one of the epic ' s founders , said ,\nhey , what about that phrase without the ' we ' ?\nand i knew that would be a great new title , because that is exactly what gordon tries so hard to do through all the twists and turns of this unpredictable journey - to just hold on to the truths of the constitution , and not let go , no matter what .\nyou bring hold these truths to high schools . why did you condense your 90 - minute show to half its length to tour schools ? was that to better fit into school class period restraints ?\nmarty yu , the actor that did the first east west players school tour , told me this great story about when he did the play at a high school with a large asian population . when the play finished , these students all jumped to their feet , cheering , and then they rushed up to marty and surrounded him , all wanting to talk . they wanted to help him take down the set , and help him carry the props to the car . and that meant a great deal to me , because when i was a young student growing up at a time when so few people on tv or in the magazines , or in the history books looked like me ; i know how much it would have meant to have a performer of asian ancestry come to my school , and share the story of an asian - american hero .\nyou are working with director jessica kubzansky and ryun yu as gordon hirabayashi again . ryun was the original gordon and has played the role in numerous productions since the first . any major changes or just minor tweaks between this production and the original 2007 east west production ? any specifics you kept in from the abridged school version ?\nwith the invaluable input of jess and ryun , i ' d actually made a number of changes in my original script for our ewp premiere . and then afterwards , one more change came about when i had the opportunity to do more work on the play with the new york theatre workshop at their dartmouth residency . up to that point , i had exclusively focused on gordon ' s personal journey in fighting the us government ' s racially targeted curfew order , and later , executive order 9066 . at dartmouth , and working this time with the east coast team of director lisa rothe and actor joel de la fuente , who each made wonderful contributions of their own , i discussed the play with jim nicola , linda chapman and geoffrey scott , who felt the play could benefit by addressing some additional questions : how did this mass violation of thousands of american citizens ' constitutional rights occur ? what were the social and political forces at work that allowed it happen ? who was responsible ? who could have stopped it and didn ' t ? they suggested some answers to these questions would be a great counterpoint to gordon ' s personal quest for justice . so , i added some of that content , and it gave the play a scope and breadth that i ' ve been very pleased with .\nhold these truths lives on as you ' re taking it to dc ' s arena stage next year from february 23 through april 8 . any other plans for it ? more school tours ?\ni n addition to the arena stage production next year , i ' m excited there will also be two new productions in 2017 in massachusetts - at the new century theatre in south hadley , massachusetts , july 27th to august 5th ; and the lyric stage company in boston , december 1st to 31st . there are also plans being developed to take the play as a dramatic staged reading into colleges , where it would be accompanied with a talk about the wwii japanese - american experience . and i ' m hoping to work on a screenplay soon !\nyears ago , after one of our very first staged readings in the ctg playwrights ' group , a mexican - american woman in the audience said that the way ryun played gordon , with such an engaging\neveryman\nquality , along with the ordinary circumstances of gordon ' s college life that had been so similar to her own - dorm life , dating , struggling to pay her tuition , struggling with racial discrimination , experiencing that first political awakening - that all these things made her feel like she was gordon . so much so that in the play , when he was suddenly thrust into extraordinary circumstances where he had to make some agonizing choices , she felt that shock and confusion right along with him . and i think that ' s what we are ultimately hoping for - that our audiences will identify in a very personal way with gordon , that they will feel they are walking in his shoes . i ' m sure gordon himself would wish to impress upon us all , that it is up to each of us to fight to protect our rights as american citizens , that we can never take them for granted . as echoed in the title of john de graaf ' s documentary film , the constitution is a personal matter . it is only a piece of paper unless , we as american citizens , safeguard it and give it life .\nst . louis : backstage bite : deluca celebrates the muny ' s 100th season w / ooey gooey st . louie bars\ncan ' t find a community you love ? create your own and start something epic .\nwe ' ve detected that javascript is disabled in your browser . would you like to proceed to legacy twitter ?\nactor / author , hold these truths , inspired by gordon hirabayashi . join us at theatreworks in the bay area , july 11 -

' when she eventually phones the police to report the problem , she is told that the calls are coming from inside the house . . . . seven years later , when jill has become a mother herself , the troubles start up again .\nthe film inspired a 1993 sequel with durning and kane returning under the direction of walton . in 2006 , a theatrical remake was released .\nmurphy , a . d . \u201caudience demographics , film future : loss of youth adjustment due . \u201d ,\nnowell , richard . blood money : a history of the first teen slasher film cycle . new york :\nthis controversial , tangled and convoluted film - noirish feature film from canadian director atom egoyan was a lurid and sexy backstage crime / murder mystery based upon rupert holmes ' 2003 novel .\n: the kids survive in the remake , but it is entirely possible that the stranger intended to kill them after bumping off jill .\ndirector clark claims that he re - wrote half of roy moore ' s script , adding some humor into the film . moore was also against the idea of never seeing the killer however when he saw the finished film , he was very pleased with it .\n\u2013a tale of a fashion photographer who foresees a series of murders being committed in the style of her work\u2013showed that women - in - danger marketing could fuel solid ticket sales and help a film to avoid controversy .\nthat logo recast a shot of a woman pulling a turtleneck sweater over her face , which had been extracted from the film , as a stereotyped female horror spectator who is too frightened to look at the screen .\nsuch was the strong grip when a stranger calls had on the movie going audience . the iconic twenty minute opening of the film is still listed as once of the scariest horror film sequences of all time . and with good reason . this is a film i try to watch every year during halloween to get my scare on . it still causes my heart to race some 30 + years after it was made . it has such staying power . i did watch the remake when it came out , something i almost never do as i feel the remakes don\u2019t live up to the original , and while that is true in this case it\u2019s not the worst remake i\u2019ve seen . still , it doesn\u2019t hold a candle to the performances turned in by carol kane , charles durning , colleen dewhurst , and tony beckley ( the killer ) , who passed away from a terminal illness not long after principal shooting on the film had concluded .\n) and first - time scripter jake wade wall have reworked and expanded that bravura first twenty minutes to 83 - minute feature length . because of this very smart decision , the new\nwhen a stranger calls\nmoves at a tauter pace and isn ' t nearly as uneven , quickly getting right to the point and doing a skilled job at sustaining an aura of apprehension for almost its whole running time . stylistically and technically , the film is top - notch . from an acting and writing standpoint , the picture skates perilously throughout on thin ice .\nthis position emerged when some feminist activists and journalists derided what they saw as the films\u2019 celebration of misogynistic violence .\nthis\nnew\ntechnology means that , following a couple of egregiously ominous foregroundings of the landline phone , she starts carrying the mobile version around with her . and so she can take the stranger ' s calls while moving through the house . once the\noooh , creepy\neffect of this strategy wears off , however ( in about a minute ) , the film is left pretty much idea - less .\ngained a certain amount of respectability . it is not the same type of slash - and - stalk film that\nthe makers of the film had gone to great lengths to make it marketable as a self - reflexive , female - oriented thriller . for one thing , they had cast the outspoken feminist actress lee grant as a similarly outspoken feminist anchorwoman who encounters a misogynist maniac . however , the film\u2019s distributor twentieth century - fox had gone to equal lengths to mask these characteristics when it marketed\nthe film ' s legendary opening 20 minutes of jill getting harassed on the phone by a killer only to find out that the calls are coming from inside the house were inspired by a similar sequence in the original black christmas ( 1974 ) . both films took inspiration from the urban legend\nthe babysitter and the man upstairs\n, though this film is more of a direct adaptation of the myth .\nsickening crunch : several are heard in the opening when the police chief is shown the remains of stacey the babysitter .\nozon ' s provocative film can do much to improve attitudes towards lgbti people .\nand its $ 13m production and marketing budget plunged the film into the red .\nmargot kidder and andrea martin became close friends on the set of the film .\n\u201cwhen a stranger calls\u201d is the first feature to be directed by fred walton , who originally told this same story \u2014with steve feke , his co\u2010screenwriter \u2014in the space of a 20\u2010minute short . but for the sake of a full\u2010length format , they ' ve broadened the plot considerably without digging any deeper . the killer , whose craziness is quite unexplained , now spends the mid\u2010section of the film being pursued by an ex\u2010cop with an all\u2010purpose motive : he saw the first murder , he ' ll get this guy if it ' s the last thing he does , and so on . the cop is\nthe film is regarded as being one of the first slasher films ( with the texas chainsaw massacre ( 1974 ) , a bay of blood ( 1971 ) , psycho ( 1960 ) , and peeping tom ( 1960 ) preceding this film ) . it set the layout for films such as john carpenter halloween ( 1978 ) . however , director bob clark considered it to be more of a psychological horror film than a slasher film .\nalso literalized a connection between the motives of the film\u2019s makers and the violent misogynists whom they portrayed on the screen .\nalthough this film ' s original title was silent night , evil night it shares no connection to the silent night , deadly night ( 1984 ) film , another christmas horror movie , or any of its sequels . another similarly titled film called silent night , bloody night ( 1972 ) also has no relation to the film .\n[ note : the 2006 big - budget remake followed fairly closely to the original 1979 film , with the additional murders of jill ' s ( camilla belle ) best friend tiffany ( katie cassidy ) and the maid rosa . also , the mostly - unseen stranger ( voice of lance henriksen ) was not killed , but apprehended and taken away by police . while hospitalized , jill continued to have insane delusions about the stalker attacking her . ]\nwhen a stranger calls ( 2006 ) directed by simon west cast : camilla belle , tommy flanagan , katie cassidy , tessa thompson , brian geraghty , clark gregg , derek de lint , kate jennings grant , david denman , arthur young , madeline carroll , steve eastin , rosine ' ace ' hatem ; voice of lance henriksen 2006 \u0096 83 minutes rated : ( for violence and some language ) . reviewed by dustin putman , february 4 , 2006 .\nwes craven was a fan of this film , particularly because of the iconic opening 20 minutes , and paid tribute to this film in the opening 12 minutes of his teen slasher flick scream ( 1996 ) .\npeterman ' s last film was\nhow the grinch stole christmas\nin 2000 .\nthe film is listed number 87 on bravo channel ' s 100 scariest movie moments .\nwhen the stranger calls , frequently , jill tries out various strategies of dealing with him . first , he might be bobby , then , he ' s trying to scare her , and finally , he ' d better leave her alone . none of this is compelling , and jill ' s range of responses - - tentative shallow breathing , teary fearfulness , and plucky defiance - - is excruciatingly limited . when the stranger does speak , he reveals that he is aware of her actions ( telling her to check on the kids and then noting that she has done so ) , leading jill to close all the gigantic draperies and then huddle on the floor so she can call the cops again , with a more urgent sense of her danger .\nbarely concealed her disdain for hemingway when she reported that the actress had failed to understand the term \u201csodomy\u201d and had burst into laughter after she had mislead the film\u2019s director lamont johnson into believing that she herself had once been the victim of a rape .\nunlike the first film where the suspense drops 90 % after the first 20 minutes , when a stranger calls back is able to keep things interesting for the most part . the first 20 minutes are pretty important , but aren\u2019t the basis of the entire film . also unlike other films , jill is actually pretty smart . you\u2019ll learn why pretty quickly , although if she had ocd she probably would have been a little bit more on top of things from the beginning . she does have one dumb moment , though . at one point , during one of the peak times of tension , she checks to make sure the back door , a sliding glass door , is locked\u2026like the attacker couldn\u2019t just bust through the glass .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\nthe calls are coming from inside the house : said almost word - for - word ( though this movie isn ' t the trope namer ) .\nhave you checked the children ?\n. . . . . . . . . . . 5 star baby sitter gets phone calls thriller ~\nthere were several attempts over the years to produce a sequel for the film . halloween ( 1978 ) was originally conceived as a sequel to this film by john carpenter , who was a fan of this film , before the project became a standalone film . after the failure of the remake bob clark began work on the sequel before he tragically passed away on 2007 . in all these attempts olivia hussey and john saxon were to reprise their roles of jess and lieutenant fuller respectively . jess would have become the new housemother of the sorority in clark ' s treatment for the film back in 2007 .\nwas intended for male sadists who rooted for a misogynistic maniac . tv spots eschewed a protracted game of cat and mouse between a cop and a killer that dominated\nan early example of a largely mainstream film containing the word\ncunt\n. this was cut out for its uk release .\nalthough halloween doesn\u2019t revolve around phone calls , phones play a big part in the storyline . at one point , a girl is murdered by michael myers after she receives a phone call from her boyfriend ( asking her to pick him up ) . in another scene , myers strangles a girl with a phone cord . remember how phones used to have cords ?\nthe film managed to gross $ 4 , 053 , 000 on a relatively small budget of $ 620 , 000 at the box office . by today ' s standards those numbers would be a $ 21 million dollar gross on a $ 3 million dollar budget which would mean that the film grossed 7 times its budget turning in a profit .\nby way of black - and - white advertisements that featured a close - up of a female face and a telephone .\nthe audio for the demented phones calls was edited into the film during post - production . while shooting the footage for the phone call scenes the actresses were actually just reacting to threatening dialog being spoken from director bob clark from off - camera ."]}

starrer too .\nin her losing spree of movies ,\nmaavilakku\nis another one .\nmaavilakku\nhad both meena and jayaram as the leads . but when jayaram lost his popularity in a short time , he was promptly replaced by ajeet . as soon as he became the hero of the movie , ajeet demanded and got meena out of\nmaavilaku\n. the inside story is , during a stage - performance in singapore , ajeet did make some unwanted passes at meena . but infuriated mother of the actress , scolded ajeet in front of everyone .\nwhile she is ready to lose movies after movies in tamil , meena\u0092s telugu market seems to be promising again . meena once popular in telugu , soon lost her place to ramyas and soundaryas . but her new movie in telugu with venkatesh , the remake of tamil\nsuriyavamsam\n, is declared to be a box - office hit . with this success in hand , meena is trying to stage a come back in telugu . in the process , she probably does not mind losing a movie or two in tamil , where star compensation is said to be much lower than telugu .\ntamil movie industry is in dire straits . in 1997 , some 70 movies were released . this year it looks like this number won\u0092t cross 50 even . there are 25 movies on the floor and out of them only 8 are said to be actively under - production .\ngemini color lab has declared a 3 day a week schedule , because they do not have enough work . a dubbing theater , which used to gross rs 3 lakhs a month , got only rs 1 , 000 in june . four major preview theaters in chennai , which used to make over 60 shows a month , did not have even 30 in june . prasad studios did not have a single film unit working there , except for an odd tv commercial maker . obviously , the industry that entertain millions is in deep trouble . hope it is just a passing phase and the industry will be resilient enough to recover from this ugly predicament .\nsoundarya is the numero uno actress in telugu . she is the one lady who debunked the telugu industry\u0092s norm of expose - and - succeed , a rare feet which could make even sridevi envy . this fully clad beauty is said to demand a cool rs 25 lakh per film and that too without any hitch !\nsubsequent to\narunachlam\nand\nkadhala kadhala\n, there is a great demand for her in tamil too . but the busiest lady in telugu does not accept any tamil projects for the lack of time .\nrecently soundaraya is keen on entering the national market with a new hindi movie , a remake of the tamil original\nsuriyavamasm\n. in the hindi version , soundarya is doing devayani\u0092s role and she is paired with abishek bachan , the big b\u0092s son .\nsimran is the heroine of the new movie\nkannedire thondrinaal\nproduced by shiva shakti pandian . pandian\u0092s earlier movies\nvaanmathi\n,\nkaadal kottai\n,\nkallamellam kadal vazga\nand\nkaadale nimati\n, were all family - oriented movies with no scope for glamour or titillation . on the contrary the heroine of his current project is non other than the\nkavarchi - pooyal\n( translated roughly as glamour - cyclone ) simran herself .\nno way . .\nsays pandian . he maintains , like his other movies even\nkannedire thondrinaal\nwill also be a family entertainer with very little scope for glamour or exposing . may be she would appear in modern dresses , but nothing more than that !\nbut the next question we have is , why simran . . . why not devayani or suva luxmi kind of heroines ? this apparently looks like a total misuse of simran\u0092s talents ! with simran fully clad for\nkannedire thondrinaal\n, no wonder prashant the aiswarya - stuck hero of the movie , is reported to be voraciously reading\nmahabharat\nin the sets !\nramki , a hero of several low - budget movies , has finally come out open on his clandestine affair with nirosha . though there were several stories published in many magazines , he never bothered to accept or deny his relationship with her . for late - comers , nirosha is a tamil heroine of late eighties and character actress radhika\u0092s sister . among her movies , notable ones are agninakchatrum , surasamhaaram and mainthan .\nresponding to a report about their alleged secret marriage , published in a local daily , ramki maintained that there is no truth in that story . however , he revealed that their marriage is definitely on the cards , probably sometime next year . since both his family and nirosha\u0092s family approve of their marriage , ramki asserts that there is no need for them to go for a secret marriage .\nmeanwhile it is reported that nirosha is already staying in one of the houses owned by ramki . but when a reporter from a tamil daily , tried to contact her at that house , nirosha was indifferent and curtly drove the reporter away !\nduring the making of the movie\nengineer\nat kaaraikudi , looks like madhuri dixt , the heroine of the movie , had special privileges like a room with air - conditioner , attached bath - room etc . when there was a question about such special treatment for the heroine only but not for the hero aravindswamy , soon he too got all those amenities for himself . but the pity is aravind\u0092s salary in engineer is much less than what is paid to madhuri , the ex - queen bee of bollywood . well , this time . . . it is going to be difficult for aravindswamy to claim parity with la dixit , when it comes to his salary .\nafter a dull start of\njeans\n, people predicted prashanth would have no future in tamil movies . even sivashakthi film wanted to fire prashant out of their project\nkannedire thondirinaal\n. but prashanth soon responded and reduced his compensation to retain his role . currently ,\nkannedire thondirinal\nis rapidly progressing . also , as soon as he got some positive feedback on the box - office performance of\njeans\n, ashok amirthraj has decided to retain prashanth for their next venture too . besides , agathiyan , kavithalaya and\nchinna vadiyar\nfame tns are the other people who have signed prashanth for their next movies . after his long absence from tamil movies due to\njeans\n, finally prashant seems to enjoy the fruits of his patience .\nbeing jinxed in tamil , ramya shifted to telugu movies to become one of the most successful actresses of that industry with her oomph , generous exposures and not to mention about her erstwhile mentor raghavendra roa . once her competition in telugu has become stiff with the new arrivals like soundarya , saakchi and raasi ( manthra ) , ramya tried to get an entry into bollywood with her david dawan connection . but when her\nbanarasi babu\nwith govinda turned out to be a damp squib at the box - office , there are no takers for ramya in hindi too .\nso now this tamil girl is trying to come back home with the new tamil movie\nathai mahan\n. ramya will be one of the heroines of\nathai mahan\na karthik statter with the other heroine being swathi .\nwhile working for his recent release\npriyamudan\n, vijay had an accident and hurt his spine . later he and his parents ( s . a . chandrasekar and shoba ) visited uk to treat his ailment . in the process they have also found a girl for vijay now !\non june 22 , vijay was celebrating his birthday in london . during this occasion , chokalingam an industrialist was visiting them with his wife and daughter sangeeta . when vijay\u0092s parents saw sangeeta , they were very impressed with the way she carried herself and instantly decided that she alone would be the future bride for their son .\nlike an obedient son , vijay has also agreed to marry sangeeta , but after two years . because he is currently concentrating more on his career .\nincidentally sangeeta , a student of medicine , is a srilankan tamil , whose parents migrated to uk long back .\nit is a well known fact that maestro illaya raja and kaviyarasu vairamuthu cannot stand each other and won ' t work for any film together . recently director cheran had a song for his\ndesiya geetham\nwritten by vairamuthu . but when raja came to know about it , he was upset and said he won\u0092t work in the project , provided vairamuthu\u0092s song won ' t make into the movie . subsequently the disputed song was dropped and raja had his own way !\nramba always denied that simran\u0092s arrival has not hurt her career even a bit . however at the moment , she seems to have lost the race to simran with not that many tamil projects in her hand . also with her telugu market less promising , she is slowly expediting the possibilities of entering into malaylam movies . it is to be noted here that ramba made her debut as an actress first in a malayalam movie .\nknowing that her glamour would not fly in malayalam , this sexy siren is already concentrating on her acting skills rather than her diminishing costumes .\nincidentally , ramba counts largely on her new hindi movie ,\ngharwali , bhaharwali\n. in this anil kappor - raveena starrer , ramba is the second heroine and if it succeeds it could enhance the prospects of ramba\u0092s sagging bollywood career .\ninitially the mega budget movie\njeans\nfrom shanker was thought to be a fiasco . many blamed prasanth for its believed failure . so much so , a gang of people stormed into prasanth\u0092s home with rotten eggs and tomatoes to show their disapproval !\nnow the scene has completely changed with the movie fast approaching towards its hundredth day and shanker seems to have gone beyond his hat trick with a clean double double .\ninterestingly , the dubbed hindi version of\njeans\nwent belly up . hardly within few days after its release , the movie was taken out of the bollywood circuit . in this connection , here is a comical reference to its failure , quoted from a popular bollywood magazine :\neven aishwarya\u0092s finely rounded bottom could not save the film (\njeans\n) from ripping at the seams . people just were not interested in the film . may be it has got to do with the new swadeshi movement in the country . may be the film should have had an indian name . how about langoti , khadi , dhoti , chaddi , lungi , etc . ? sounds as good as any ol\u0092 jeans !\njokes apart , basically the audience in the north failed to recognize anyone else in the movie other than ash . bad dubbing , confusing double roles and flaky story line are the other attributes for its failure in hindi . nonetheless , financially it was not a great loss because the hindi version of this film , costing over rs 20 crores was sold only for a meager rs 80 lakhs !\nalso , with\njeans\nsongs in hindi losing ground , it is yet another set - back to a . r . rahman in bollywood . it is to be remembered that he was not that successful with his earlier hindi movie\nduad\ntoo .\nas for aishwarya , it is her second consecutive flop in hindi since her debut in\naur pyar ho gaya\nand this has made her rivals like manisha gleeful .\ncurrently , both manisha and aishwarya are not in talking terms , because eariler aishwarya had stolen many good projects that were specially slated for manisha . but after the failure of\njeans\n, it is manisha who is having the last laugh ! she openly goes around telling that her jeans are not washed out . also manisha believes that all her directors would realize her worth only after they have worked with other girls . probably , director shankar could be one of them , who had worked with manisha in ' hindustani ' but did not repeat her in his next film . may be he too would realize her value by now , like mani ratnam who took her again in ' dil se ' after his close encounter with ash in ' iruvar ' .\nthe glamour wave created by simran has a definite impact on many tamil heroines . from meena to less known\nkaruthama\nrajasri , everyone in the industry is ready to bare their heart and soul . rajasri particularly is all out to wipe out her village girl image , with her exciting photo sessions filled with liberal exposures .\nanother one who is desperate to expose for success is easwari roa , the\nraman abdulla\ngirl . in her forthcoming movie\nguru paarvai\n, easwari appears in a titillating bathing scene under a water fall , clad in a transparent sari with nothing else to cover her top . well , don\u0092t have too much hope on this scene guys , because it is doubtful it could escape the hungry pair of scissors from the censor board !\nrecently a popular tamil weekly , exposed sarath kumar and a famous movie couple about their attempts to threaten and coerce nagama to marry sarath .\nbut nagma managed to get out this predicament with the help of a high level political source in tamil nadu and moved back to her original head quarters , mumbai . from mumbai nagama is now on an interview spree to bollywood magazines , talking a lot about her broken relationship with sarath .\nincidentally it\u0092s nagama\u0092s second failure in her relationships , with the earlier one being with rajeev kapoor son of the greatest showman raj kapoor .\nas an aftermath of their split , nagma is replaced by kanaga in sarath\u0092s new movie\nsimma rasi\n.\nsimma rasi\nis directed by erode sounder and it also has kushbu , vineeth , manivannan , ananda raj , r . sundar rajan , manorama , ' thalai vaasal ' vijai and others . music for the movie is scored by s . a . raj kumar .\nlast month actress gowthami got married to sandeep bhatia an industrialist from mumbai , under thrilling circumstances . like it happens in movies , while gouthami was eagerly looking forward to sandeep for the muhurat , the johnny - come - lately groom showed up pretty late , guess what ? . . during\nyemagandam\n, an inauspicious hour !\nlooks like bhanupriya too is married now ! . recently , bhanu was in the us to visit her sister nishanti ( remember her in\nenga oru pattukkaran\n? ) .\nas it turned out to be , she met this handsome six - foote , adarsh keshav and got attracted to him . subsequently , the couple got married at the sri venkateswara temple in malibu california on june 14 .\nright now , bhanu is in the usa with her husband adarsh , who is a hyderabadi , settled in the united states as a computer digital graphics\u0092 engineer .\nbesides bhanu\u0092s mother , her sister nishanti , her husband and a handful of the grooms\u0092s relatives , nobody else was present during this wedding .\nyoung actress , revealing her behind the screen ordeals and adventures . with each episode turning cruder than other , the story of this actress is nothing but a soft - porn , exposing various popular movie personalities and their bedroom secrets .\nthese days sivakumar willingly agrees to play fatherly roles in movies , but with a restriction - he does not want to play father for surya ( his real son ) in movies ! recently he refused one such role in\nsandipoma\n, leaving prakash raj to play that role . sandipoma ' s heroine\nis preetha vijayakumar , who is causing ulcers to many of her rivals by grabbing prestigious projects with many leading men like vijayakanth and sathyaraj .\nmonisha\u0092s lead girl mumtaj has started speaking in tamil , thanks to t . rajendar . how did he managed to do that ?\nhey . . . i have made even amala to speak tamil in my movies . making this girl speak tamil is a peice of cake\nsays t . rajendar .\nin monisha t . rajendar appears in a character called\nkaadal dasan .\nfor this role , his job is to sing an eve - teasing song on a college beauty queen sneka , along with other students .\ninterestingly , the versatile t . r writes story , screenplay and dialogue for this film . besides , he also takes care of the cinematography !\nto make this venture a family affair , usha rajender works as the costume designer and for the first time silambarasan composes music for some of its songs .\nmost of the starcast of\nmonisha\nare fresh faces with names like rahul saxena , mumtaj , sneha , ravi kishan , swathi paudekar and kunega .\nrecently tamil nadu government has announced\nkalai maamani\naward to seventy five people from the tamil movie industry . prominent among them are napoleon , vijay , prasant , meena , roja , manivannan , naazar , raghuvaran , director agathiyan and lyricist palani bharathi .\nright from padmani days there were always star sisters invading the tamil cinema . we had ambika - radha and radhika - nirosha in eighties and now the trios nagma , roshini and jothika .\nthe latest addition to such star sibblings are simran and her sister monal . but for her nose , monal is said to be a look alike of simran .\ninitially monal had no interest in acting in movies . however when she was visiting her sister simran from mumbai , she has landed into a tamil movie pairing her with none other than prasanth !\nhtml public\n- / / wapforum / / dtd xhtml mobile 1 . 0 / / en\nurltoken\nsarathkumar , kushboo , anandaraj , manivannan , r . sundarrajan , vineeth , easwari rao\ncopyright disclaimer under section 107 of the copyright act 1976 . all the songs at starmusiq . com are for listening purposes only . making duplicate audio cd ' s from mp3 files is illegal . allowance is made for\nfair use\n. therefore please kindly support us by buying original version of audio cd ' s from your local retailer . all the rights are reserved to the audio company . the owner of this website cannot held liability for any illegal usage of the contents . any disclaimer , please click here to contact us .\nramanaa tamil full movie | vijayakanth | simran | a . r . murugadoss | ilaiyaraja\n\u0bae\u0b9e\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc2\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bae\u0b9e\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc2\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0b9e\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bbf \u0baa\u0bc2\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bbf | manjal poosum manjal poosum vanji poongodi . . melody\npottu mela pottu vachu | | \u0baa\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bc7\u0bb2 \u0baa\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0b9a\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bc1 | | s . p . b , anuradha sriram love duet h d song\nclick on the menu icon of the browser , it opens up a list of options .\nhere click on the \u201cprivacy & security\u201d options listed on the left hand side of the page .\na pop up will open with all listed sites , select the option \u201callow\u201c , for the respective site under the status head to allow the notification .\nonce the changes is done , click on the \u201csave changes\u201d option to save the changes .\nwe use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website . this includes cookies from third party social media websites and ad networks . such third party cookies may track your use on filmibeat sites for better rendering . our partners use cookies to ensure we show you advertising that is relevant to you . if you continue without changing your settings , we ' ll assume that you are happy to receive all cookies on filmibeat website . however , you can change your cookie settings at any time . learn more\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\ncopyright 2010 -

gaana and love shuv in the movie , it doesn ' t matter if the story is utterly predictable and done - to - death .\nwedding pullav is not only banal but it ' s tiresomely boring cause it fails to get the audience to identify , like , sympathize with the lead characters aadi ( diganth manchale ) who is getting married to rhea ( sonalli sehgall ) . his best friend anushka ( anushka ranjan ) is going steady with london based painter jay ( karan grover ) . a decision to get anushka married with jay along with aadi and rhea lands jay in thailand and the woes of the audience never ends .\nit is a misnomer , though . \u2018pullav\u2019 , a well - made one at any rate , is meant to be seasoned with the right condiments and presented with every rice grain separate , fluffy and aromatic . this one is more like an overcooked \u2018khhichdi\u2019 , where everything slops into each other . the result is most unappetizing .\nclick to subscribe : urltoken show - ptc showcase guest - anushka ranjan , diganth , karan v . grover and shashi ranjan ( producer ) interview with anushka ranjan , diganth and karan v . grover in regards to the upcoming film \u201cwedding pullav\u201d . anushka ranjan , diganth and karan v . grover is talking about their experince in bollywood film . anushka ranjan , diganth and karan v . grover speaks about their experience during film shooting , about film music . talking about film direction , film script n dialogues and shashi ranjan ( producer ) is talking about different film subject in bollywood and talking about co - stars in film .\nwhile at the outset , wedding pullav seems like a mere yaar ki shaadi hai d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu , ranjan said it has its share of twists and turns . \u201cone may compare and be critical too , but the reason i chose to produce a love story is because bollywood needs one . in the recent years , all we\u2019ve got is action masala flicks with set formulas and item numbers in the name of music . one misses the shayari , the poetry , the range of emotions a love story provides . for instance , kuch kuch hota hai was a simple romantic film , but it was the treatment and the music that set it apart , \u201d said ranjan .\nhow about going a little deeper into the minds of the people they seem to be trampling over ? how about a backstory of how they became such good friends ? how about a few jokes to make the proceedings a bit more bearable ? it\u2019s sad to see all these young actors in a film with so little inventiveness . in its present state , i would prefer hunger to this pullav .\nso , what was to be the story of the wedding of aditya and ria also becomes about anushka and her painter boyfriend \u2018j\u2019 , when aditya suggests that both couples get married together in thailand . as the film meanders through one wedding function to another ( they even manage to weave in karva chauth into this ) , it becomes clear to aditya and anushka that they are more than just friends ; and yet , they never seem to open up about it and let us go home soon . at this point , their love story becomes obvious to their friends , parents , relatives , the hotel\u2019s general manager and perhaps even matt damon sitting on mars . yet they keep dragging it , so anushka gets a chance to use up her wardrobe budget and wear a dress in every colour .\ndimpled groom ( diganth manchale ) and pretty bride ( sonnalli seygall ) and their families - and - friends go off to a thai resort for a destination engagement - karvachauth - sangeet - wedding . manchale\u2019s best friend , played by anushka rajan , is along . so is her fianc\u00e9 ( karan grover ) . passion is kindled . tears are shed . confusion is confounded . and the two meant for each other are united .\nshot in picturesque thailand , we wish the film had a stronger content and some substance . you don ' t relate to or feel for any character or their dilemmas . when friends fight , they randomly take off to london . also , while everybody keeps harping on love and friendship , they fail to evoke any form of emotion . all you see is actors with zero chemistry and acting skills singing songs , dancing , strolling on the beach , flaunting fancy wedding clothes and bikinis , flashing dimples and spouting gyaan on marriage .\nshashi ranjan , who founded the indian television academy with his wife anu , made shows like guftagoo and jeena isi ka naam hai .\nshashi ranjan said : \u201cbinod and i have been together at ftii . not many know , but three of the haryanvi films that i had made back in the eighties , had binod as the cameraman . \u201d ( express photo by sahil walia )\nromeo -

of - the - seat whodunit . it\u2019s an entertaining film and a travelogue . we shot the film in puri , a very identifiable place for bengalis .\ntrue . detective stories are the most difficult to shoot . it took me eight months to shoot goenda gogol . shooting got stalled many times . sonali paarer rahasya is a three - page story , so i had to build on it . i incorporated a train sequence . i have also modernised gogol , given him specs and a tab . there are long chase sequences in the jungles . plus , the haunted house around which gogol\u2019s adventures take place had to be built on the puri beach . puri has changed a lot since the time samaresh basu wrote the story . i couldn\u2019t find a single house which looked old and worn -

tall handsome young detective with a teenage sidekick , hypnotism and reincarnation in one magical package . in sonar kella , as well as in joi baba felunath , ray introduced the audience to the villains early on , making for a snappier climax and a shorter denouement , which typically slows the genre down in its final stages . many actors have played feluda , including shashi kapoor in a doordarshan series , but soumitra chatterjee retains an iron grip on everyone\u2019s imagination till this day .\nfeluda\u2019s quirks include writing in the greek alphabet in his notebook and a working knowledge of most trivia that could take surprising twists and turns \u2013 from hindustani classical music to renaissance art to elliptical curves . his monastic existence in the stories , which do not feature women in pivotal roles , demand a foil in the enchantment of trivia . ray\u2019s feluda films are the richer for the way in which he brought in little nuggets of information into the script , seemingly with a careless sleight of hand . surprisingly , this light touch has been lacking so far in the later adaptations , which choose to focus on telling the story straight \u2013 but the plot of samaddarer chaabi is nothing but a riff on trivia , and i confess i am looking forward to the film .\nbyomkesh bakshi by saradindu bandyopadhyay in spite of making his film debut under ray\u2019s direction way back in 1967 , byomkesh owes his blockbuster status and universal acceptance in a large part to basu chatterjee\u2019s tv adaptation with rajit kapur in the lead . kapur seemed to own the role of byomkesh bakshi more than any other actor ; there was something in the natural sharpness of his face matched with the familiar middle class appeal of his persona that summed up the professional detective solving cases for a living .\nbyomkesh has been played by many actors , notably uttam kumar , but none of them have the cult status that rajit kapur commands . the bengali adaptations have got the period details right but have yet to find the perfect byomkesh , in my opinion .\ndibakar banerjee\u2019s detective byomkesh bakshy ! spiffed up the character and brought a fresh narrative style to the film , byomkesh on acid , if you will . many people were uncomfortable with the treatment . i enjoyed it thoroughly and am eagerly waiting for a sequel .\nkakababu and shontu by sunil gangopadhyay srijit mukherji\u2019s note perfect casting of prosenjit chatterjee as kakababu is as close to a coup as we will ever get in bengal . historian ; bachelor ; crippled in an accident ; ex - director of the archaeological survey of india and frequently sought after by indian intelligence \u2013 kakababu\u2019s real name is raja ray chowdhury . shontu is his nephew ( hence the kakababu ) and the narrator . refreshingly , the kakababu series have girls as major characters , both as shontu\u2019s friends and collaborators .\nthe first kakababu adventure to be filmed was shobuj dwiper raja ( the king of the emerald isle ) by tapan sinha . there have been a few tv adaptations , but srijit mukherji\u2019s recent kakababu film , mishawr rohosyo ( the egyptian mystery ) , starring prosenjit chatterjee in the lead , is a far superior attempt to bring the crippled adventurer to life . like rajit kapur , prosenjit owns the role , which is half the battle won in this genre . there are 39 kakababu adventures in all , so i wish the srijit mukherji - prosenjit chatterjee duo a long innings .\nkiriti roy by nihar ranjan gupta nihar ranjan gupta had quite a few film adaptations under his belt \u2013 meri surat teri aankhen , mamta , do anjaane and uttar phalguni . therefore , it comes as a bit of a surprise that his most popular character , the dapper detective kiriti roy , debuted only in 2016 on bengali screens in an adaptation of his book , kalo bhromor ( the black wasp ) . a second kiriti film has just been released , based on the story setarer sur ( the sitar\u2019s melody ) .\nkiriti\u2019s character was etched on holmesian lines \u2013 he smoked a pipe , carried a magnifying glass , preferred a kimono and tatami slippers over the standard pyjama kurta at home \u2013 but the plots were often rather simple . his stories remind me of the fu manchu series instead \u2013 fantastical , enjoyable , fast pulp . i did feel the first film needed more noir and pace in its style to work . anglophile kiriti ray needs to come into his own as a unique character on celluloid and not as a clone of his more popular counterparts on film to succeed .\nshabor dasgupta by shirshendu mukhopadhyay police officer , not a private eye . honest . loner . shabor brings a touch of realism to the genre and is definitely not a detective series for children . the films feature saswata chatterjee in the lead . the stories are murkier , the lines between right and wrong can be blurred , but shabor dasgupta is a refreshing change . he is a contemporary detective devoid of nostalgia .\narjun by samaresh majumdar a single arjun film ( kalimpong e sitaharan ) made its unremarkable debut in 2013 , but arjun and his mentor inspector amol shome are distinctly different from many fictional detectives and ripe for a re - imagination . arjun is a young adult who is the adventurer - detective hero and not a sidekick of the older detective , for one thing . secondly , he is a small town boy from north bengal . as the series evolves , arjun matures , unlike adult detectives who are already evolved . however , as a relatively less known character , especially when compared to byomkesh and feluda , arjun would fare better on television , until he is familiar enough to audiences to take the leap onto the big screen .\ncolonel niladri sanyal by syed mustafa siraj the raja sen - directed colonel , starring chiranjeet chatterjee in the eponymous role , released in 2013 . his lazy sidekick , jayanta , was played by actor shaheb chatterjee . the ex - colonel is bearded , jovial , an ornithologist , butterfly collector and sleuth and follows a large fan following among the older generation . but the colonel might need to be reintroduced to younger audiences via television first \u2013 he has yet to reach the wide recognition that feluda and byomkesh enjoy . these two series have been filmed since 1974 and 1967 respectively , and have decades of viewing behind their mass appeal .\nprasanna kumar basu by narayan sanyal around the time ray introduced feluda , there was also narayan sanyal\u2019s lawyer detective \u2013 pk basu , an indian perry mason , who debuted on film . the first pk basu novel , nagchampa , was published in 1968 and made into a film in 1974 called jodi jantem ( if only i knew ) starring uttam kumar as pk basu . the stories were \u201cinspired closely\u201d by agatha christie and erle stanley gardener , which is probably why adaptations were not considered a possibility .\nbengali detective fiction could be a lonely place if you wanted women , except for a few notable exceptions , who have yet to make their way to the screen . rituparno ghosh famously had to reinvent miss marple as an inquisitive aunt in shubho muhurat ( if you haven\u2019t seen it , please do \u2013 one of rakhee\u2019s best performances ) . but for home - grown talent , i would recommend two \u2013 mitin mashi series and the lu quartet .\nmitin mashi by suchitra bhattacharya mitin mashi , aka pragyaparamita mukhopadhyay , is a personal favourite . a resident of south calcutta , mitin is known by her nickname ( which bengali isn\u2019t ? ) she is a smart , contemporary bengali woman , a wife , a mother , an aunt ( mashi ) to her niece tupur and also a consulting detective . the series has a view of calcutta as a multicultural , constantly evolving city and mitin mashi navigates her adventures and mysteries in this milieu with great aplomb . there was some talk of a film adaptation with rituparna sengupta , but nothing has been announced so far . a tv series would be a fun watch too .\nthe lu quartet by nalini das way back in the \u201980s when i was a scrawny schoolgirl , i used to devour nalini das\u2019s adventures featuring kalu , malu , bulu and tulu as middle - school students from the same hostel who would bust gangs and solve mysteries with aplomb . every time i read a nancy drew and felt a pang about there not being enough girls in detective stories , the lu quartet brought a smile to my face . i cannot recommend the books enough for a screen adaptation , although television would be the best medium , in my opinion . disney has had its moana moment ; so can our detective films .\njayanta manik by hemendra kumar roy hemendra kumar roy\u2019s detective jayanta and his friend manik are supported by the comic police inspector , sundarbabu . hemendra kumar roy\u2019s oeuvre merits an entire article . suffice it to say that jayanta - manik firmly established the very indian contemporary detective operating in an indian milieu for the first time in bengali fiction . they were modern , nationalistic , scientific in temperament and distinct in their indigenousness . it is a great pity that we have not yet had the pleasure of seeing the trio on screen .\nparashar barma by premendra mitra a detective and a poet , most often compared to hercule poirot , parashar barma is possibly the most underrated of all the goyendas on my list . his methods are lackadaisical , whimsical even , and cause his friend and chronicler , krittibas , much agony \u2013 until they make sense in the end and reveal parashar\u2019s genius with a flourish . but the beauty of the series is in its writing . the books are a joy for any reader of the language . perhaps it is just as well that parashar is still waiting in the wings . a great detective film needs a nuanced treatment of the character and in barma\u2019s case , also a delicate touch with language . parashar barma needs a director who is also a poet .\nthis was my list for those who would like to dip a toe into the genre . but it comes with a statutory warning : many of the adaptations aren\u2019t great films as such , usually tripping in the second half when they fail to sustain the pace of the plot . quite a few have shoddy production values . a few shine . but then , if you are obsessive about the genre , as i am , you know you will watch them all , pulp , noir , classic crime , slick or shoddy . you will appreciate a few , long after the film has ended , and some will make you weep with frustration .\njash sen writes and thinks about detective fiction whenever she has a moment . she is the author of the young adult fantasy adventures the wordkeepers and its sequel , skyserpents . she swears she is working on the third book , soul army .\nbrand reality and brand values have never been more important for the bottom line .\non a typical saturday morning , roaming the isles of your regular grocery store , you pick up a bottle of , let\u2019s say , fresh juice from the refrigerated section . without a second look , you place it in the shopping cart , like you do every week , making that particular cold - pressed juice an essential part of your diet . that confidence in a product comes from knowing exactly how it\u2019s made and what it\u2019s made up of . in other words , that confidence comes from a transparent brand .\nseveral brands across industries have initiated transparency programs that give consumers depth of information , from brand communication and product description to production methods and company policies . for instance , maiyet , a new - york based luxury brand , weaves stories about its collaboration with artisans in varanasi , india and shares them with its loyal customers through its communication channels . waleda , a 93 - year old beauty firm , shares information on its commitment to fair trade , wages guidelines and a list of environmental standards on its website . these brands were featured as the top 10 brands in refinery29\u2019s transparency awards that looked at various transparency criteria - like sharing information with employees and the public and consistently improving transparency practices .\nan example closer to home can be seen in maggi . the brand has shared the entire production process of maggi masala noodles , from making the noodles to sourcing ingredients for the tastemaker , in a two - part video series . the first video , shot in the tahliwal nestle factory in himachal pradesh , breaks down the production process of the noodles , covering details such as how the grains are sourced , how they are kneaded into dough and then cut into thin noodles . the second video focuses entirely on the fresh ingredients that go into making the maggi masala tastemaker . this is a crucial step taken by the brand to increase its transparency .\nso , why are brands trying to be more transparent ? as customers make more informed purchase decisions , they increasingly want to know more about the brands they buy . according to hbr , \u201cby giving people a window into its workings , a company can show it has a sound process it\u2019s adhering to . it can avoid asking customers to have faith in a black box . the greater the transparency , in other words , the greater the trust . \u201d this trust gained from consumers can also have an impact on the bottom - line . as per this study in brand transparency , up to 94 % of customers surveyed were more likely to be loyal to a brand that offers transparency , while 73 % said that they are willing to pay more for a product that offers complete transparency .\npeople\u2019s distrust in companies has grown in line with the rise of social media , rating and review sites and the online market . the demand for transparency was further escalated by a few events that had a global impact . the rana plaza tragedy in 2013 exposed the ugly truth behind the fast - fashion industry . 5 years hence , big fashion brands have pledged to adopt good industry practices and be transparent by publishing their supplier list and the type of products made in the facility . more recently , a slew of large data scams brought the world\u2019s attention to the misuse of personal information shared on social media accounts . the resulting outrage pushed social media behemoths to share transparency reports with the public at regular intervals .\nmoreover , an entire generation of evolved , sophisticated and discerning consumers , known as gen y or more popularly as millennials , pushed companies to realise the importance of building trust through transparency . millennials , being digital natives , don\u2019t go by the traditional path to purchase but consider various other aspects before making a decision . kira karapetian , vp of marketing for label insight , in an article written for forbes points out that \u201cwhen millennials make purchasing decisions , they\u2019re considering more than the traditional drivers of taste , price and convenience . \u201d she goes on to explain the millennial tenets of self , society and planet : \u201chow is the food i\u2019m buying enhancing the quality of life for my family and myself ? \u201d and \u201chow are brands adding good to the world in which we live . \u201d\nlike in any relationship , building trust can take years . by adopting transparent communication and practices , brands can deepen their connection with their customers , building brand loyalty and love . despite its presence across indian homes , dorm rooms and even the highest mountain peaks , maggi has entrusted its loyal consumers with information about their production , packaging and ingredients , showing them that the reality of the brand matches its promise . the brand teamed up with the highway on my plate duo , rocky and mayur , for the videos that give us a how - it\u2019s - made glimpse of our favourite maggi .\nthis article was produced by the scroll marketing team on behalf of maggi and not by the scroll editorial team .\ndirected : arindam dey written by : samaresh basu cast : ahijit ghosh , indraneil sengupta , rachana banarjee run time : 111 minutes strength : child actors weakness : not for adults star showbiz rating : 1 / 5 plot : during the holiday , a child sleuth comes across a haunted house . he comes to know that people , once they go inside the house , disappear mysteriously . the curious kid sets out on a mission to seek the real story . review : giving a thought of apprehension , the movie kicks off with a family ' s visit to puri ' s beach , where the raging wind compels their pestilent entrance to a house known to the locals as the hana bari . ultimately , they consecutively disappear within the house . this haunted effect runs over the veins of the movie . the enactment of an adolescent detective was alluring and the charismatic depiction of the detective connected us to the character further . all through the movie , the kid had the anxious excitement of comprehending unresolved situations . it might seem a bit unnerving seeing the kid eyeing on the hana bari and his chase of exploring it . this could be interesting to some , while others might seek for maturity in this conscious role . swinging with the flow of the movie , the antagonist couldn ' t really throw the vicious effect in comparison to the child , who spawned the suspense at every sequence . there were characters that drifted their existence in almost every sequence , which wasn ' t a treat to the eye . the protagonist and the antagonist had many scenes together , which gave a feeling of instant revealing of suspense . the torch being the instrument and the child being the victim , carrying it all through made the movie somewhat thought - provoking . science fiction , detective books have always been a geek ' s passion , which brought a geeky child into the role . this movie will definitely enchant kids , but it might be interesting to elderly people who maintain interests for children ' s movies at heart .\ndirected by : joseph gordon - levitt written by : joseph gordon - levitt cast : joseph gordon - levitt , scarlett johansson , julianne moore run time : 90 minutes strength : strong acting , bold expressions , engaging storytelling weakness : centred around addiction to pornographic films ; only for adults and not a family movie star showbiz rating : 3 . 5 / 5 plot : jon martello ( joseph gordon - levitt ) is a strong , handsome , good old fashioned guy . his buddies call him don jon due to his ability to\npull\na different woman every weekend , but even the finest fling doesn ' t compare to the bliss he finds alone in front of the computer watching pornography . wrestling with good old fashioned expectations of the opposite sex , jon against a media culture full of false fantasies to try and find true intimacy in this unexpected romantic comedy . review : no longer a taboo , the subject of sex / porn addiction has provided the driving force for a diverse array of movies recently . gordon - levitt plays jon , who has his life and his priorities neatly figured out , one of which is his daily obsession of watching pornographic films . when he finally meets the girl of his dreams ( scarlett johansson ) , he promises to put aside the porn , but can ' t do so any more than she can renounce the dopey hollywood love stories that fuel her own self - centred dreams . only when he starts to connect with a night - school classmate ( julianne moore ) who has experienced both the pleasure and pain of genuine human interaction does jon begin to understand what it means to lose yourself in someone else . refreshingly frank about the perils of commodification and objectification , don jon is a snappily directed affair that benefits hugely from moore ' s terrifically grounding presence . in other hands , her crucial role could be as trite and cliched as the macho rituals that define the first act . in the end , the movie is a heartwarming tale about twenty -

studded event . while we all adored the chemistry of the duo in the trailer , people couldn ' t help noticing the script ' s striking similarity to salman khan\u2019s blockbuster bajrangi bhaijaan .\nkarachi : premiering in karachi after a good showing in uae and lahore , bachaana , a rom - com film that brings television and theatre darling sanam saeed to the big screen for the first time , alongside mohib mirza and adeel hashmi , lives up to expectations , mostly .\nshot across the beautiful island of mauritius , bachaana chronicles the adventures of a sweet and bubbly indian girl , aalia ( saeed ) . she undergoes a series of unfortunate events and is forced to place her faith in a man she hardly knows . that man , vicky , played by mohib\nset in mauritius , bachaana narrates the story of an indian girl aalia ( sanam saeed ) who meets a pakistani cab driver vicky ( mohib mirza ) under dreadful circumstances and from that point onward the entire film revolves around the journey of these two characters and how they escape the bad guys .\nthe pakistan - india angle has intrigued and created a lot of buzz for the film and i am positive that that cine goers will not be disappointed . things have been finalised ( with distributors ) and i am excited to see ' bachaana ' release in india ,\nhe added .\nthis is no longer a review . this is a rant . i was to review the sanam saeed , mohib mirza - starrer bachaana . i wish i could do that . after watching the film , the only thing i am left reviewing is the decision to stick around and be predictably underwhelmed by it .\nthe trailer that released 2 days ago looks promising , however , the most memorable part of the trailer was the last dialogue ,\nladki pakistani ho ya indian , ladki ladki hoti hai ( a girl is a girl whether she is indian or pakistani )\n. bachaana will release on february 26 , 2015 .\nbachaana \u2013 shot competently by asrad khan with a quick , workable , camera angles ( mostly medium and medium long shots ) \u2013 is quite fun . mr . mirza exhibits a dazzling , \u201cpakistani\u201d persona , and handles the comedy and action with deft elegance . ms . saeed\u2019s aalia isn\u2019t your typical indian girl from today ; in fact , with her innocence , gullibility and mannerism , she looks more pakistani than an indian . miner nitpickings aside , this is one \u201centertaining\u201d film . it definitely doesn\u2019t need \u201cbachaana\u201d from box - office competition ; it can do fine by itself . the audience can spot a good one from a mile away .\nthe movie , about a cross - border connection akin to bollywood blockbuster ' bajrangi bhaijaan ' , will release in pakistan on the same date .\nthe distributors in india have shown interest primarily because the film ' s trailer evoked social media discussions comparing ' bachaana ' with bollywood hit ' bajrangi bhaijaan ' ,\ndirector nasir khan told pti .\nthe pakistan -

day girl can relate to .\nbachaana will mark the feature film debut of one nasir khan , whose documentary \u201cmade in pakistan\u201d made the rounds of the film festival circuit to great success . the film will be produced by rizwan saeed , khan ' s partner at his production company talking filmain , and will involve cast and crew from both pakistan and india .\nwhat is also a shame is that the subject matter \u2014 young girls being unwittingly lured in to work as drug mules \u2014 could have been explored so much better . to any decent screenwriter , it would provide ample opportunities to flesh out a rich narrative . in bachaana \u2019s case , all such opportunities have been thrown away .\nthe first trailer for the film is expected to be out in january . if everything goes according to plan and the movie does release in february , it may find itself in a box office tussle with ashir azeem\u2019s maalik . the music for bachaana has been composed by ali sher , symt and indian music director prasad saste .\nkarachi : an interesting question and answer session made the otherwise formal trailer launch of an upcoming film , bachaana , an interesting event at a hotel on tuesday evening . replying to a question about the film\u2019s storyline being similar to a recent indian blockbuster bajrangi bhaijaan , ( since it\u2019s about an indian girl helped in her life by [ \u2026 ]\nthe music is composed by ali sher and consists of three numbers \u2018yaari\u2019 , \u2018labda\u2019 and \u2018bachaana\u2019 . the composer has shown his versatility with the music as all the three songs have their own feel and flavor . however , while the music is interesting the video\u2019s of the three songs sadly aren\u2019t . the songs have not been shot as such and play in the background which kind of takes away from the full effect . had mohib and sanam grooved to the title track \u2018bachaana\u2019 or at least had lip synced to the entire scenario would have been different . nonetheless , the music is surely a great addition to this film and ali sher deserves a pat on the back for providing such soulful numbers .\nnasir khan ' s directional venture , bachaana has been getting critical and commercial acclaim even before its release . with just a couple of premiere shows under their way , the film has undoubtedly been the talk of the town . calling it an action packed comedy - romantic thriller may sound a bit lengthy , but that ' s what this one has to serve .\nafter development and casting , the series commenced for its shoot . the shoot began in august 2014 in mauritius . the series was the first film to pack shoot within 35 days , rest of photography was delayed . bachaana\u2019s official poster launch ceremony date conducted on 10 december 2015 , across pakistan . [ 12 ] shooting locations were overseen by the director and cinematographer .\nhowever , cinemagoers can now add another film to the growing list with the mohib mirza and sanam saeed - starrer bachaana all set to release in february next year . speaking to the express tribune , director nasir khan said , \u201cthe film is basically about an indian woman and a pakistani man and how they meet in mauritius and embark on a journey together . \u201d\ni hope that whatever we venture with is entertaining and something that the audience would get engaged in . we ' ll know where we stand after the release , to be very honest . there are a few things in development , but i find everything as a learning experience . so whatever mistakes i made while making bachaana , i ' ll try not to repeat them .\nprovidentially , the argument does not apply to mr . khan\u2019s film , written by saad azhar . like its lead vicky ( mr . mirza , whom i had doubts of playing an action hero ) , bachaana is acutely pakistani . a smart - mouth , often laid - back , action - romance - comedy . mr . khan juggles the three genres well by anteing up the pace .\n- - > official trailer of upcoming pakistani film bachaana ( a film by big film entertainment & hum films ) has been unveiled today in an event held at pearl continental hotel in karachi . as per the action packed trailer the story is about an indian girl ( played by sanam saeed ) and a pakistani boy ( played by mohib mirza ) who meet in mauritius and there the \u2026\nthe official trailer of bachaana was released on 5 january 2016 . the film was released in both indian and pakistani cinemas on 26 february 2016 . [ 13 ] [ 14 ] upon release the film mostly received positive reviews . [ 15 ] [ 16 ] [ 17 ] the film will have it world tv premiere on september 13 ( eid al - adha ) on the channel urdu 1 .\nrecent releases have shown some done - to - death storylines ; hence bachaana is definitely a sight to sore eyes . with subtle hints of bollywood , the film revolves around an indian muslim girl alia ( sanam ) who takes the help of a pakistani taxi driver , waqas aka vicky ( mohib ) , in her quest to return home and no , it\u2019s not a rip off of bajrangi bhaijaan .\n' bachaana ' is the first feature film of nasir khan as a director , who has gained prominence for his work presented at the mumbai international film festival for his documentary ' made in pakistan ' . with cast and crew from both pakistan and india , making acquaintance with each other for the first time on the set , the film has truly captures cross - boundary relations on and off screen .\n\u201cwe have been die - hard fans of ( indian ) movies for decades , and now they are enjoying our storytelling through the small screen . our actors are crossing borders and so are our stories now . and that is what i saw in bachaana . the film is light and easy . i was really enjoying getting into aalia\u2019s character with the mannerisms , clothes and diction , \u201d she added .\nbachaana is the perfect example as to what two good actors can do for a film . it would not be wrong to say that one of the major reasons why the film works so well is its because of the effortless acting that mohib mirza and sanam saeed have put for display . for such a character driven film it was extremely important to cast the right people and well nasir khan has just done that .\npakistan cinema is growing by every film and bachaana is another feather in its cap . fun , thrilling , and fast . nasir khan did a wonderful job keeping the film so active . mohib and sanam ' s chemistry makes you glued to the screen . do go and watch it yourself , for me it was a good entertainer and surely worth a watch . i ' d rate it 3 . 5 / 5 .\nbachaana is the latest in the long line of pakistani films to suffer from what seems to be the achilles\u2019 heel of the country\u2019s film industry : zero understanding of plot and storytelling . while detractors of critics like me would bring up the industry\u2019s infancy , the lack of money and resources to justify a film like this , one must realise that none of these can excuse this compulsion to write and produce such atrocious scripts .\nomg ! have u guys completely lost it ? ? ? today tribune published \u201c6 reasons \u2018bachaana\u2019 should be on your must - watch list\u201d & all the other reviews have been amazing . how can u contradict urself . people are loving the film . i bet this blockhead reviewer has some personal grudges against sanam saeed or team of bachaana , may be he is a friend of some rival actress or producer . this film is gazillion times better than snoozfests like bin roye , which was a 2 : 30 hrs long pathetic tv drama shown on a big screen in cinemas . its first pakistani film that looks like a proper film . all my friends have loved it . my whole family is going tomorrow to watch it . people dont give a hoot about ur crappy reviews . so plz keep ur vicious agenda & shitty expert opinions to urself !\nsanam saeed , renowned pakistani actress and model , will be playing an indian girl in bachaana . the actress has already captured the hearts of fans across india with offers from multiple bollywood movies alongside the screening of her drama serial on zindagi channel especially for her role in \u201czindagi gulzar hai\u201d . playing lead against mohib mirza , the duo is set to make the film a complete hit at par with any other a - grade bollywood film .\nmohib mirza and sanam saeed\u2019s strong performances make the film , particularly as the remaining characters are peripheral at best . sanam saeed has shown her acting prowess in a range of drama serials , unafraid to tackle controversial and negative roles . bachaana sees her in a much more light - hearted avatar and shows she combines acting ability with great comic timing . her portrayal of alia is spot - on from the beginning , depicting her pluck and vulnerability equally well .\ni also request our press and cinema owners to keep encouraging local productions as they have been bearing fruit in last few months . it ' s an exciting time for people in the film making business and we hope to bring more films with a pakistani identity in the future . best of luck to the entire team of bachaana ! i am excited for both sanam saeed and mohib mirza . their chemistry in the film is something everyone will connect with immediately .\nbachaana , featuring sanam saeed , mohib mirza , and adeel hashmi , was released nationwide in pakistan on 26th february 2016 . after having received a very good response from the fans and critics alike , hum films & big film entertainment in collaboration with nasser fazal of green flag films , announced the release date of the film in the uk yesterday . being shown on over 15 screens across the uk , the film is slated for an april 22nd international release .\nthere is always this debate surrounding what the definition of a good actor is . intense acting and good acting are two different things ! if an actor is successfully able to convince the viewer that the character he / she is playing is actually real , i say that is good acting . if an actor is able to get the viewer invested in the story because the viewer feels for the character , i say that is good acting . and that is actually what happens in bachaana .\nyou ' re playing a negative role right ?\ni asked with a flood of curiosity in my voice . after a minute of silence , he replied\nyes\n. which clearly means that this powerhouse of talent will be seen showing off his skills in a whole new light . being the grandson of the legendary poet , faiz ahmed faiz , talent flows through his veins . from the hilarious u - fone commercials to bachaana , he has truly came a long way .\nthere ' s romance , comedy and a dash of action in the film that follows an indian woman , aalia ( sanam ) , and a pakistani taxi driver , vicky ( mohib ) , as their paths cross in mauritius . they eventually fall in love , we know \u2013 but not before shots are fired , punches are thrown and several high - speed chases through various picturesque landscapes ensue . message received : bachaana is not just any flick that shows a pakistani falling for an indian .\nanother reason the film feels crisp is the lack of songs breaking up the action . the soundtrack actually consists of only three numbers . two of these , ' yaari ' and ' bachaana , ' are played as background music and only ' koi labda ' gets the full - on bollywood - style treatment . while the song itself is romantic , the stylized depiction actually slowed the pace of movie . keeping song - and - dance numbers to a minimum kept the length of the movie down and the audience engaged .\ndescribing the movie as a \u201clight - hearted\u201d film similar to other commercial movies that are being made these days , he explained his decision to cast mohib and sanam in the lead roles . \u201cfor sanam\u2019s character i wanted someone who had that indian look whereas for mohib\u2019s role i wanted someone who was street - smart . both fit the bill perfectly . \u201d nasir said with bachaana the audiences will see mohib in a new avatar . \u201che\u2019d be doing comedy and action in a feature film for the very first time . \u201d\nspeaking about her experience working on bachaana , sanam saeed has said , \u201c i thoroughly enjoyed the script and aalia\u2019s character , she was very unlike the roles i had played before . all of us in whatever way we can are wanting to and trying to bridge the gaps and differences between india and pakistan . we have been die - hard fans of their movies for decades , and now they are enjoying our story telling through the small screens . our actors are crossing borders and so are our stories now . and that is what i saw in bachaana , the film is light and easy . i was really enjoying getting in to aalia\u2019s character with the mannerisms and clothes and diction . i had tons of help and references and advice on authentic indian girls from the team we were working with . at the end of the day though , aalia is a south asian girl that i am very familiar with , whether she be indian or pakistani . this is a contemporary easy , breezy , feel good rom com . i\u2019m sure audiences for india and pakistan will both enjoy this fun zesty story . \u201d\nthe title track is composed by pakistani musician ali sher and sung by bollywood playback singer benny dayal . the ost is being picked up in india by a major music label and being released in the country shortly . ' bachaana ' is saeed ' s feature debut film . she is popular with indian audience for her lead role in pakistani drama ' zindagi gulzar hai ' . while mirza , an established actor in pakistani drama and film scene . he will also be seen in the pakistani sequel to mahesh bhatt ' s 1982 bollywood movie ' arth ' .\nas he told me when the conversation proceeded , it took this individual and his partner rizwan saeed , more than 15 years to raise enough money to work on films . the passion , the dedication , the drive , everything was inborn . managing to produce a comedy - romantic - thriller in a flourishing industry like ours is certainly not everybody ' s cup of tea . nasir khan - the director of bachaana is an inspirational figure that way . speaking to hip about his film , his expectations and his journey , we get a trip back in time and enjoy it thoroughly !\nthere are plenty of reasons why bachaana works . first off is the cast and they are an exceptional bunch . mohib mirza as a pakistani taxi driver stands out because the quick - wit humour has to be matched with the right emotions and facial expressions . mohib brings conviction and believability to the role . he takes the character of vicky and transforms it into a hero ( no , not the raja hindustani ott melodrama ) you can root for . star of the show , mirza\u2019s performance is one that should fetch him meatier roles in the future . his comfort level in front of the camera is remarkable .\nabout his character and the project , he adds , \u201cthe character i play in bachaana has been the most entertaining one in my career so far . it was beautiful driving through the exotic island . acting and being shot in such an environment certainly excited me . but apart from all the fun and performance , the role also demanded strenuous prepping . i underwent physical training and practiced sprinting before the shoot started . i worked with the team for weeks together in finalizing the character\u2019s look , hairstyle , accent , gestures , wardrobe and the minutest of details that would give life to it . it was heartening to see the team enjoy my spontaneity and improvisations for the role . from its central idea to scripting , dialogues to screenplay , locations to direction and casting to acting ; bachaana was nothing short of being an absolutely grand and immensely professional project . it is very seldom that you see the energy and synchronicity across the team as we all had . everyone came very well prepared on the set ; script was rehearsed , we barely needed prompting and the shoot flew superbly smooth . despite being shot beyond borders of india and pakistan in mauritius , a joint crew from both the countries seamlessly wrapped the project within the exact committed time . \u201d\nthe character i play in ' bachaana ' has been the most entertaining one in my career so far . it was beautiful driving through the exotic island . acting and being shot in such an environment certainly excited me . but apart from all the fun and performance , the role also demanded strenuous prepping . i underwent physical training and practiced sprinting before the shoot started . i worked with the team for weeks together in finalizing the character\u2019s look , hairstyle , accent , gestures , wardrobe and the minutest of details that would give life to it . it was heartening to see the team enjoy my spontaneity and improvisations for the role ,\nmirza said .\nbachaana is the first feature film of nasir khan as a director , who has gained prominence for his work presented at the mumbai international film festival for his documentary made in pakistan . with cast and crew from both pakistan and india , making acquaintance with each other for the first time on the set , the film has truly captures cross - boundary relations on and off screen . filmed in mauritius , the production team conducted the largest talent hunt to find actors in the neutral landscape . with eye - catching scenery , music composed by top pakistani talent , and a new - take on indo - pak relations , the movie is set to cause a stir ."]}

ass warden .\nit ' s lofranco , though , who is mesmerizing for the way he handles the physical and psychological maturation of james . he does a great job of showing the boy ' s thick , aggressive armor as well as the sensitivity that flashes like minnows beneath the surface .\nthat is the pivotal plot development in jamesy boy , a fact - based tale of redemption marking the noteworthy directorial and scriptwriting debut of trevor white . while the overcoming - the - odds biopic might not break any new ground in terms of the genre , it makes up in earnestness what it might lack in originality , thanks to a talented cast which includes veterans ving rhames , mary - louise parker and james woods as well as fresh faces spencer lofranco , taissa farmiga ( vera\u2019s sister ) and hip - hop star taboo of the black eyed peas .\na true story of a young con who turned his life around , trevor white ' s jamesy boy wants very much to be inspirational . but nothing the first - time helmer tries - - not casting big names in small parts , not scrambling the timeline , not casting a newcomer ( spencer lofranco ) whose swept - back coif recalls james dean ( even if nothing else about him does ) - - can keep the tale from feeling like one cribbed from a score of other second - chance films . commercial prospects are dim despite the marquee - worthy supporting cast .\nbased on the true story of james burns , jamesy boy is the story of a teenager who drifts from life in a street gang to a maximum - security institution , surrounded by convicts . what james can ' t find in schools , he discovers in jail . while incarcerated , he bonds with a convicted murderer ( ving rhames ) , who becomes a much needed mentor in the ways of surviving and thriving . in this exclusive clip from the film , we see an education system resisting the wayward , failing a mother , and pushing a young person further into despair .\nat one moment in jamesy boy , burns whines that he is \u201ctired of being a charity case . \u201d unfortunately , the pedestrian screenplay portrays him as such , martyring a cocky criminal with a big heart and resolve to do better . lofranco does not have the acting range to portray a despaired delinquent or an inmate trying to change his life through writing and accepting forgiveness . he is simply too slight a presence to carry a film that is already a rather tame look at a life of crime , resulting in an end product that is an earnest , but unconvincing look at a rebel\u2019s road to redemption .\nthe film received generally negative reviews from film critics . on metacritic , the film garnered an approval score of 29 . review aggregator website rotten tomatoes gave the film a 26 % rating , based on 19 reviews . martin tsai of the los angeles times wrote :\nthe core of jamesy boy \u2013 a juvenile delinquent ' s inside -

louise parker , taissa farmiga , james woods ) . but he hits all the notes you ' d expect in this type of uplifting tale : rebellion and debauchery , followed by run - ins with thugs and brushes with death , followed by time behind bars \u2013 where more run -

boy prison .\nas a small - time dealer , burns routinely brings back weapons to his house and to roc\u2019s place . he also swerves down the street in a souped - up oldsmobile that attracts police attention ( foolish since there is dope in the trunk ) and then attempts to rob a manager without explanation . the film depicts burns as a cocky chump , eager to prove his bad boy reputation ; however , the ill - brained decisions his character makes would never fly in the criminal enterprise he was a part of .\nthis tale examines the true life story of james burns , a young man whose early life on the street as a part of a denver gang leads him to a life sentence in prison . after a childhood filled with violence and illicit activities , james begins a new existence in a maximum security prison , but much to his surprise , his fortunes begin to take a turn for the better . while james still faces decades behind bars , he begins to find hope thanks to a fellow prisoner . while this man is a murderer , he is also a sage who has come to find a deep peace and contentment , and as he shares that with young james , the former gang member begins to have a very different outlook .\nafter breaking out with the first season of ryan murphy \u2019s hit horror anthology series american horror story , actress taissa farmiga has booked two new feature roles . variety reports that farmiga has signed on to join sofia coppola \u2019s true crime story the bling ring . written by coppola , the film is based on the true story of a group of teenagers who robbed the homes of the rich and famous between october 2008 and august 2009 , coming away with over $ 3 million worth of loot from the likes of paris hilton , orlando bloom , and lindsay lohan . yesterday we reported that harry potter star emma watson is set for a leading role in the ensemble , and now it appears farmiga will be joining her .\nmary elizabeth winstead joins adam scott in a . c . o . d .\ncollider participates in various affiliate marketing programs , which means collider gets paid commissions on purchases made through our links to retailer sites . our editorial content is not influenced by any commissions we receive .\nlofranco plays james burns , who , when we meet him at 14 , could pass for a young ( er ) justin bieber . except he ' s wearing an ankle monitor , thanks to an extensive history of violence and criminal acts .\nparker plays his tough single mom , who continues to advocate for her son long after the system has washed its hands of him .\nit ' s not just that james seems to run with the wrong crowd -

known figure for walking everywhere around town and relaxing with the latest harlan coben thriller in local coffee shops . he earned a degree in early childhood education at city college , teaching in the head start program in goleta until 2010 when he moved to hollywood to pursue his lifelong dream of making it as an actor .\naside from being an actor , woolf also worked as a preschool teacher , which was something he had loved \u201cbecause when you\u2019re with children , you kind of live in a different world that doesn\u2019t have any rules . it\u2019s more imagination . \u201d\nwhen the \u201cfreak show\u201d season began , the fx network put together several short videos about the actors on the show , including one on woolf , who talked about his condition , how people responded to him and about his love of teaching .\nwoolf was a cast member on the fx show in its first season , in 2011 , when he played a character called the infantata . in the latest installment ,\namerican horror story : freak show ,\nhe appeared as meep .\nthe actor appeared in the most recent season of fx\u2019s anthology series , in which his character had a penchant for biting the heads off small animals . woolf also had small roles in other projects , including the recent psychological thriller haunting charles manson .\n\u201cwe have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from all over the world for our beloved ben , \u201d his family said in a statement , as the new york times reported . \u201che touched so many hearts in his 34 years . his memory will live on within each of us and within his work . \u201d\nvirginia woolf : art , vision and life is at the national portrait gallery , wc2 ( 020 7306 0055 , urltoken ) until oct 26 . daily 10am -

sinai medical center .\npulitzer prize\u2013winning playwright edward albee was considered one of the greatest american playwrights of his generation for his plays including ' the zoo story , ' ' who ' s afraid of virginia woolf ? , ' ' a delicate balance ' and ' three tall women . '\nwoolf , 34 , died of a stroke at cedars - sinai medical center on monday , said his publicist , zack teperman . the actor had been hospitalized in critical condition since thursday , when he was struck by a car mirror near hollywood boulevard , police said .\nnational research council ( us ) ; institute of medicine ( us ) ; woolf sh , aron l , editors . u . s . health in international perspective : shorter lives , poorer health . washington ( dc ) : national academies press ( us ) ; 2013 .\nthe new york times critic ben brantley once wrote about albee & apos ; s contribution to the theater world : \u201cmr . albee has unsparingly considered subjects outside the average theatergoer\u2019s comfort zone : the capacity for sadism and violence within american society ; the fluidness of human identity ; the dangerous irrationality of sexual attraction and , always , the irrefutable presence of death . \u201d\ni say curious because woolf is so much more accomplished a modernist in words than any of the bloomsbury artists were in paint . in the prose poetry of the waves and to the lighthouse she powerfully achieved the kind of effects fry described , where emotion and impression supersede precise description .\nof course , these letters are among the few snatches of writing that the show can reflect ; it can only go so far in illustrating what makes woolf so enduringly significant a figure . but you leave with a thirst for her writing and , in that sense , it\u2019s invigorating .\nbenjamin eric woolf was born on sept . 15 , 1980 , in fort collins , colo . , and grew up in fairfield , iowa . his family learned he had pituitary dwarfism when he was a child . he moved to california in 2010 to pursue a career in entertainment .\nwoolf died of a stroke at cedars - sinai medical center about 3 : 20 p . m . , said his publicist , zack teperman . the actor had been hospitalized in critical condition since thursday , when he was struck by a car mirror while jaywalking near hollywood boulevard , police said .\nin a video interview last january , woolf\u2014who stood at four feet and four inches\u2014shared his difficulties with dwarfism . he shared that people sometimes \u201cdon\u2019t give me the value that i deserve\u201d . nevertheless , he had soon learned to \u201cignore it and do what i can do to the best of my ability . \u201d\nnational research council ( us ) ; institute of medicine ( us ) ; woolf sh , aron l , editors . u . s . health in international perspective : shorter lives , poorer health . washington ( dc ) : national academies press ( us ) ; 2013 . 3 , framing the question .\nin the first season mr . woolf played the infantata , the murderous ghost of a baby - turned - frankenstein monster by his grieving parents . in the recently concluded fourth season he played meep , a sideshow performer with a one - word vocabulary and a penchant for biting the heads off live animals .\nwoolf first appeared in the hit fx anthology series in its first season , playing infantata and donning heavy makeup to transform into the memorable character . he returned for the show\u2019s most recent season , \u201cfreak show , \u201d in a small but beloved role as meep , who could only say one word : \u201cmeep ! \u201d\na source close to the actor , who played meep on the f / x series , told the website that woolf suffered a stroke at cedars - sinai medical center in los angeles after he was hit in the head by a passing car ' s mirror while he was crossing a street in hollywood last week .\nbut bell is still hugely inconsistent : her portrait of woolf in an armchair , in which the details of the face are all but obliterated , seems to follow fry\u2019s idea that \u201cthe emotional elements of design\u201d are more important in painting than the likeness of the sitter , but the paint seems heavy and aimless . it\u2019s curious that woolf , after revisiting in 1928 another bell painting , three women ( 1913 - 16 ) , which rather lumpily and clumsily channels matisse and picasso , wrote of bell\u2019s ability to \u201cbring off a situation in a way that arouses my envy\u201d , before adding : \u201ci wonder if i could write three women in prose ? \u201d\nmr . woolf reflected on the difficulties of life with dwarfism in a video interview released by \u201camerican horror story\u201d in january . in it , he said that people sometimes \u201cdon\u2019t give me the value that i deserve , \u201d but that he had learned to \u201cignore it and do what i can do to the best of my ability . \u201d\nbut that was just the kind of response that meep inspired in people . his childlike innocence ( minus the biting off animal heads thing ) and love for his fellow freaks made his early onscreen death feel like a travesty , but all tv plot - related feelings obviously pale in comparison to what the\nahs\nfamily - - cast , crew , and fans - - are feeling today ( february 24 ) , due to the news that woolf died last night at the age of 34 . the 4 ' 4 ' ' woolf , who had pituitary dwarfism , was hit in the head by the side mirror of an suv while crossing the street last week , and never recovered from his injuries .\nmr . woolf worked for two seasons on \u201camerican horror story . \u201d an emmy - nominated series on fx , it features an ensemble cast and new characters and a new story line each season . settings have included a haunted house , a 1960s mental hospital plagued by demons and extraterrestrials , a coven of witches , and a 1950s carnival freak show .\nwoolf wrote later that \u201cgreat men stood in the background\u201d of their lives . \u201cgreatness still seems to me a positive possession ; booming ; eccentric ; set apart ; something to which i am led up dutifully by my parents , \u201d she added . \u201cit is a bodily presence ; it has nothing to do with anything said . \u201d she had much to live up to .\ntangled love lives inevitably feature . woolf\u2019s single - day engagement to strachey , who was gay , is marked by his embarrassed letter to her , in which he writes that \u201cthe future is blank to me\u201d , that \u201cwhatever happens , as you said , the important thing is that we should like each other\u201d , before closing with : \u201cthis world is difficult to manage . \u201d\nwoolf\u2019s appearance is the result of a diagnosis of pituitary dwarfism as well as some chemotherapy he underwent in his youth , according to the video above . he\u2019s capitalized on this and made a successful career out of acting , with roles in two seasons of \u201camerican horror story . \u201d in addition to this season , he played \u201cinfantata\u201d in the show\u2019s first season , \u201cmurder house . \u201d\nmr . woolf , who was 4 feet 4 inches tall , was hit in the head by a side - view mirror of a passing car around 9 p . m . on thursday , said sara faden , a spokeswoman for the los angeles police department . the driver remained at the scene , and the police were treating the incident as \u201ca tragic accident , \u201d she said .\nlife unfolds in a series of exquisite contradictions in \u201cwaves , \u201d a remarkable , genre - defying work from the national theater of great britain that raises the bar for literary adaptations . the world that is so magically summoned in this improbable page - to - stage translation of \u201cthe waves , \u201d virginia woolf\u2019s most challenging novel , is one of fragmentation and flux , of impenetrable solidity and ghostly transparency , of simultaneous bloom and decay .\neach character could be said to embody a different aspect of woolf , who herself shows up in the production , chain smoking and reading from the omniscient narrative sections of \u201cthe waves\u201d and from personal diary entries in a flutelike upper - middle - class voice . it is clearly the voice that gives shape to all the other voices we hear , and the tone is sustained beautifully . ( only a recurring sexual joke , involving a banana , seems out of place . )\nthis sense of magicians showing their hands , of letting us in on the secret of their tricks , in no way diminishes our appreciation of their art . \u201cthe waves\u201d is partly about forms of storytelling , of the ways different minds turn life into narrative . and woolf was always painfully aware of the inexactness and artificiality of art : that her words , however fine - spun , could only approximate what she really wanted to say . it seems appropriate to anatomize the tale as it is being told .\nbut they\u2019ll be hard pressed to deny the insightful , meticulous craftsmanship of ms . mitchell , her eight performers and a media - mixing design team that plies sophisticated video and audio tools that the technology - challenged woolf could never have dreamed of . it is yet another of the show\u2019s happier paradoxes that in evoking the \u201cmoments of being\u201d that make up the novel , this band of artists using 21st - century tools parallel the process of an early - 20th - century novelist heroically trying to pin down the ephemeral with only pen and ink .\nit was in golden square after 1904 that woolf made the first steps to her own greatness . she , vanessa and their brothers , thoby and adrian , began holding their thursday - evening \u201cat homes\u201d , discussion soir\u00e9es that marked the beginning of the bloomsbury group . enter the familiar bloomsbury characters : duncan grant , lytton strachey , simon bussy , lady ottoline morrell , roger fry and so on . fry\u2019s presence was crucial in providing the group with an artistic identity , formed out of his evangelical passion for the french post - impressionism of c\u00e9zanne , gauguin and their followers .\nalbee made his broadway debut in 1962 with who\u2019s afraid of virginia woolf ? , an over three - hour long play about the existentially fraught relationship between a middle - aged professor george and his wife martha , who pull a couple of invited guests into their dysfunction in a night of alcohol - fueled confrontations . some critics were horrified by the raw emotions on stage , others found it revelatory . the production was a major hit , winning the tony award for best play . a jury also awarded it the pulitzer prize , but the pulitzer advisory board rejected their recommendation .\nof all woolf\u2019s novels , which include syllabus staples like \u201cmrs . dalloway\u201d and \u201cto the lighthouse , \u201d none is more adventurous or , on the surface , more baffling than \u201cthe waves , \u201d published in 1931 . she wrote in her diary that she was striving for the \u201cabstract poetic . \u201d and the book is shaped as a musical counterpoint of subjective points of view , rendered in lyrical stream - of - consciousness monologues . the obvious course for bringing it to the stage would be to allow six performers to recite those monologues in rotation , perhaps with moody musical interludes .\nplaywright edward albee & apos ; s early popular one - acts plays , including the zoo story ( 1959 ) , established him as a critic of american values . he was best known for his first full - length play who & apos ; s afraid of virginia woolf ? ( 1962 ) , a tony award - winning production which also became a 1966 film starring elizabeth taylor and richard burton . albee received pulitzer prizes for a delicate balance ( 1966 ) , seascape ( 1972 ) and three tall women ( 1994 ) , among a host of other accolades . albee died on september 16 , 2016 at the age of 88 .\ndevised by katie mitchell and the company from the text of virginia woolf\u2019s novel \u201cthe waves\u201d ; directed by ms . mitchell ; video design by leo warner for fifty - nine productions ; design by vicki mortimer ; lighting by paule constable ; music by paul clark ; music director and arranger , simon allen ; sound by gareth fry ; company voice work by kate godfrey . produced by the national theater of great britain , presented by lincoln center\u2019s great performers new visions series . at the duke on 42nd street , 229 west 42nd street , manhattan ; ( 212 ) 721 - 6500 . through nov . 22 . running time : 2 hours 30 minutes .\nfirst , much of the association between early and adult health conditions results from the persistence of material , social , and cultural conditions over time . children who grow up in poverty not only endure immediate health risks such as poor nutrition and exposure to lead , allergens , and other pollutants , but they are also more likely to face poverty and its consequences as adults ( case and paxson , 2010 , 2011 ; case et al . , 2005 ; currie and widom , 2010 ; delaney and smith , 2012 ; isaacs et al . , 2008 ) . to the extent that such exposures remain stable across the life course , disadvantages during childhood and adolescence will persist later in life . accordingly , poor health status early in life is associated with poor health status during adulthood ( kuh and ben - shlomo , 2004 ; power et al . , 1991 ; wadsworth , 1991 ) .\nthis continuum of influences offers a potentially important systemic explanation for the higher prevalence of disorders ( e . g . , obesity , cardiovascular disease ) , violence ( e . g . , homicide ) , and risk factors documented in part i . over the past several decades , a great deal of social and biomedical sciences research has been devoted to looking across individuals\u2019 life spans in an effort to better understand developmental and health trajectories over time and , more specifically , how characteristics and experiences early in life may influence health and biobehavioral pathways much later in life ( billari , 2009 ; braveman and barclay , 2009 ; braveman et al . , 2011b ; gluckman and hanson , 2006 ; halfon and hochstein , 2002 ; keating and hertzman , 1999 ; kuh and ben - shlomo , 2004 ; lynch and davey smith , 2005 ; mayer , 2009 ; palloni et al . , 2009 ; pollitt et al . , 2005 ; power and hertzman , 1997 ) . the life - course framework casts health as a developmental process influenced by multiple nested social , environmental , and biological spheres that continually interact over the course of one\u2019s life and shape the quality and nature of each person\u2019s growth , health , and development ( halfon and hochstein , 2002 ) ."]}

nevertheless shows a rare focus on idiomatically british themes and attitudes . jules dassin\u2019s night and the city ( a film that was a product of the same blacklisting ) shows a thorough disregard for the specifics of the british social scene ( and for the geography of london ) but obsession is ridden with details that blend noir tropes with the older british modes of detective fiction . when a gun is drawn in this film , it is not simply a quotidian prop as in the american thriller : here it is a statement of intent , the kind of object only a man seriously determined on murder would seek out .\nalthough obsession is not at all a political film \u2013 unless you count reactionary comments made by characters at riordan\u2019s gentlemens club ( which are surely meant as an amusing dig at old fashioned attitudes ) . nevertheless , there is something of the filmmaker\u2019s real life plight reflected in bill kronin\u2019s situation ; his freedom has been curtailed and his world turned up - side down \u2013 if not severely reduced with a view to being curtailed .\nand rutger hauer , as well as some of the most emotionally intense action set pieces ever put to film . moreover , a good portion of the film\u2019s appeal lies in its incorporation of film noir aesthetics\u2014shadow - filled , rainy metropolitan exteriors , a brooding yet resourceful investigator hero , retro \u201940s fashion\u2014into its dreary , dystopian setting . at one point , the film even boasted a philip marlowe - esque voiceover narration that was thankfully excised from future cuts . once regarded as a failed experiment ,\nobsession ( aka : the hidden room ) is directed by edward dmytryk and adapted to screenplay by alec coppel from his own book and play . it stars robert newton , phil brown , sally gray and naunton wayne . music is by nino rota and cinematography by c . m . pennington - richards .\nobsession lacks the striking visual style of dmytryk\u2019s hollywood films of the postwar era , but i did notice that the night photography of london\u2019s dark , foggy streets was suitably atmospheric and similar to those in such hollywood film noirs as murder my sweet ( 1944 ) .

a screenplay by alec coppel from his own book and play . born in san francisco to ukrainian immigrants , dmytryck ( left ) , had been considered one of hollywood\u2019s rising young talents in the early 1940s .\nthe confluence of these public events and scholarly trends provided fertile ground for new research . the \u201chistorical turn , \u201d in the wake of poststructuralism and postmodernism , ushered researchers into dusty archives , uncovering long neglected materials , and making new connections . rather than simply being driven by an empirical ( or fetishist ) obsession with the archive , most scholars in this new quest for chinese film history have sought to ask questions both big and small , conceptual as well as evidentiary . they try to place newfound or old

length video recording of the televised play .\nhaven\u2019t seen this film in years , but remember enjoying it as an above - average mystery , with sim in a nice change of pace role from his usual dithering fools , or scrooge . it\u2019s a shame he didn\u2019t return to play cockrill in another film , but i see he has the title role in the film adaptation of j . b . priestly\u2019s an inspector calls , which i hope to track down one of these days .\naestheticizes violence without fetishizing it . bullet holes and knife wounds help color the film in dark brushstrokes\u2014such is the coens\u2019 wont\u2014and careful attention to shot composition ratchets the film\u2019s morbid elements to almost intoxicating heights . you\u2019ll want to look away , but the coens keep your eyes glued to their somber fatalism . \u2014\ntreats redemption as a cruel joke , a spell of relief that lasts only long enough for us to view its obsolescence . the film takes jabs at\nprison is no ordinary film . it is the first time that ingmar bergman has made a film in his own right . his own idea , own screenplay , his own design , without the aid of experienced film people . and prison is more bergmanesque than any of his earlier films . here he shows his true colours . it displays clear influences from the 1920s , yet also points from the 20s and 40s towards the future . a remarkable film . the new ways of feeling and seeing that belong to a new film generation have never hitherto been expressed with such consistency and power . no doubt to the great irritation of those conservatives who want the world , including the film world , to stand still , and no doubt to the inner delight of those who want it to move forward . for the first time in 25 years sweden is once again at the developmental cutting edge of world cinema .\norpheus\nis a greek myth about a musician who descends into the underworld to reclaim his dead wife , and so enchants the gods with the music of his lyre that they permit her to return to the land of the living - - on the condition that he never look at her . jean cocteau set his 1949 film of the story in modern - day paris , and added twists that would have startled the greeks , especially a romantic triangle with death as the third partner .\na line of inquiry that would have both complicated and enriched the project of projecting a nation is the intertwined questions of capitalism and modernity . the book touches on these only tentatively in chapter 3 on \u201cindustrial nationalism , \u201d and in chapter 6 , on the postwar period before the ccp won the civil war and took power in 1949 . the relationship between film industry and national culture could be more meaningfully pursued in areas that the author admits to have had to leave out , namely , material registers ( such as film technology ) , aesthetic forms ( such as genre formation and cinematic style ) , and reception ( spectatorial expectation and reaction ) .\nthe consequences and cultural shifts that followed world war ii shape the subtext of the film and make it much more sophisticated than a simple murder plot . like\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\n4 for a discussion of britain and france see marilyn butler , film and community : britain and france , london 2004 , pp . 98 - 124 .\nforty years before the blair witch project popularized the idea of a film being told from the camera\u2019s perspective , actor / director robert montgomery gave this radical idea a spin with lady in the lake , his adaptation of one of raymond chandler\u2019s philip marlowe detective stories . ultimately , the case proves to be minor marlowe and the first - person gimmick does eventually wear thin over the course of the film\u2019s runtime . putting aside these reservations , however , the film is most certainly worth a watch if just to witness montgomery\u2019s sheer audacity and inventiveness . it\u2019s the textbook example of a film being ahead of its time . \u2014 m . r .\n( 1949 ) is an unusual little gem of a thriller , a strangely polite and very english story of murder , jealousy , and revenge . it makes the most of its cast and its setting to craft a thoughtful tale of suspense that never becomes showy or overdone , with especially effective use of robert newton and post - war london . in fact ,\njoseph losey\u2019s 1975 film the r omantic englishwoman , with a script by tom stoppard and thomas wiseman , is one of those movies that seems to . . .\nspoiler alert ! this essay discusses the ending of the film at length . viewers who want to be surprised by the ending should not read thi . . .\nenjoyed this film a year ago when tcm aired it . enjoyed it so much i wrote a friday blog about it for our local newspaper , \u201cmy classic movie pick\u201d . phil brown -

couldn\u2019t get much further from long john than this one ! thanks for the review and for reminding me of the importance of man\u2019s best friend .\n, however , lynch took his fascination with the subgenre to a whole other level , depicting a world where a character\u2019s interior life influences not only the film\u2019s visual style but its narrative structure as well . in the first great performance of her illustrious career ,\ni remember your bringing this to the mad scientist blogathon , but i still haven\u2019t had the chance to see it , for whatever reason . if you\u2019ve mentioned this film in two blogathons , i need to put it at the top of my must see list !\ndirector edward dmytryk made this film soon after fleeing the us when he refused to testify before huac regarding alleged communism in hollywood . i can\u2019t help but think in allegorical terms about this film , with dr . riordan standing in for the malevolent house unamerican activities committee , storm as hollywood celebrities who supported the committee\u2019s efforts ( e . g . ginger rogers , barbara stanwyck , robert taylor ) , bill as dmytryk , trapped and seeking escape , and monty as those who supported the exiled director , granting him work in england .\nchristine : the animals come through the movie unscathed . i know what you mean about that . as a rule , i won\u2019t write about a film that shows animals being hurt or abused . if i do , i mention it , so readers have a warning .\nvariety wrote that the film is slow paced at first but becomes suspenseful . the new york times called it\na first - rate study in suspense and abnormal psychology\n. kendal patterson of the los angeles times described it as an early predecessor of fatal attraction .\ni wanted to do something different that stood out ,\nkahia , 26 , said by phone from his hometown of san diego .\ni have a love for black - and - white film because there ' s so much substance to these stories .\nrequest : new tcm bookstore ? please consider offering books which have been adapted to film . i realize that most of these books are out of print . surely , tcm can arrange republication . there are many such books from england that we can\u2019t get in the states .\nthanks for the praise \u2013 i very much appreciate it . and yes , monty is a cutie ! i would never write about a murdered pup for a blogathon ! lol also , this is a british film , and their noir is rarely as bleak as hollywood noir .\nbut the most striking influence that occurred to me only decades after first seeing the third man is its likely debt to eric ambler\u2019s the mask of dimitrios , which turns upon a british thriller writer journeying to istanbul to see a brilliant criminal who has disappeared after faking his death . there are several apparent allusions to ambler\u2019s book in the film ( including one by ambler\u2019s friend , carol reed , to prewar istanbul in the film\u2019s stage - setting introduction ) , and greene includes a chapter from the mask of dimitrios in his anthology , the spies bedside book . during an onstage interview with ambler at the national film theatre in he 1990s , i asked him if he\u2019d ever noticed the resemblance . \u201ci have indeed , \u201d he replied , but sadly i never got around to pursuing the matter , and ambler died soon afterwards .\n\u201ca beautiful femme fatale saunters into an unsuspecting man\u2019s life and entices him into committing murder for her . \u201d this logline could be used to describe any number of classic film noirs . most of this can be traced back to author james m . cain , who wrote two books\u2014\nit ' s the story of\ncall of the void ,\na psychological thriller shot in black and white that will make its world premiere sunday at fashion island ' s island cinema during the newport beach film festival . the festival opens thursday and runs through april 28 .\nthe term \u201cbrainwashing\u201d was coined by a journalist named edward hunter , who had served in the morale operations section of the u . s . office of strategic services during the second world war , which he spent mostly in asia , and who became an outspoken anti - communist . hunter\u2019s book \u201cbrainwashing in red china : the calculated destruction of men\u2019s minds\u201d appeared in 1951 . in it , he explained that \u201cbrainwashing\u201d was his translation of the chinese term hsi - nao , which means \u201ccleansing of the mind , \u201d and which he said he had heard frequently when speaking with europeans who had been caught inside china in 1949 , the year of mao\u2019s revolution .\n, which centers on two treasury agents who must go undercover to infiltrate a notorious counterfeiting ring . while not boasting any big - name actors or even a particularly novel story , the film is noted for its inventive cinematography , with mann and cinematographer john alton deciding to shoot several scenes on location in\nthe fact that the prostitute in the film , birgitta carolina , had a job at the well - known epa department store , caused some annoyance among the staff of the actual shop . as one of the union representatives put it in dagens nyheter :\nwe have exactly the same salaries as equivalent staff working for other employers , so we do not need to walk the streets to support ourselves .\nthe manager of the store also expressed his views , and shortly thereafter the film ' s director felt obliged to enter the fray , which he did in the same newspaper three days later :\nfinally tracked down the hidden room\u2013a friend is sending it to me . speaking of hidden rooms : are you familiar with the horrifying case of h h holmes ? scorcese is making a film with leonardo dicaprio . if he does it right ( and i\u2019m sure he will ) it\u2019ll be hard to watch .\nvariety wrote that the film is slow paced at first but becomes suspenseful .

despite his devotion to god - finds himself questioning his belonging in the priesthood after forming an unlikely friendship with an eccentric musician named jane .\n\u201cthe good catholic\u201d is almost as strait - laced as its protagonist . as jane develops a crush on daniel , the movie starts to follow a conventional path . her character , given little screen time to match daniel\u2019s soul - searching , is most wanting . some of mr . shoulberg\u2019s directorial decisions \u2014 actors\u2019 eyes drifting offscreen at an invisible audience \u2014 look theatrical rather than cinematic .\nthe good catholic is in limited release right now . you can see it at showplace cinemas east or at the jasper 8 theatres through this thursday ( 9 / 21 ) . it is also available on various streaming outets . . . amazon , itunes and google play to name a few . in addition to zachary spicer in the leading role , the film also features danny glover ( lethal weapon ) and john c . mcginley ( scrubs )\nbecause catholics believe that the celebration of the eucharist is a sign of the reality of the oneness of faith , life , and worship , members of those churches with whom we are not yet fully united are ordinarily not admitted to holy communion . eucharistic sharing in exceptional circumstances by other christians requires permission according to the directives of the diocesan bishop and the provisions of canon law ( canon 844 \u00a74 ) . members of the orthodox churches , the assyrian church of the east , and the polish national catholic church are urged to respect the discipline of their own churches . according to roman catholic discipline , the code of canon law does not object to the reception of communion by christians of these churches ( canon 844 \u00a73 ) .\n\u201canything that\u2019s written from experience and from the heart challenges people , \u201d armstrong said . \u201cit makes you think , it makes you question . good stories ask you to be invested , and that\u2019s the kind of story this is . \u201d\na young catholic priest questions his vocation in paul shoulberg ' s earnest but overly schematic and ultimately ineffectual comedy - drama [ that ] never really rings true .\nan unlikely romantic comedy concerning a young parish priest struggling to discover the true scope of his religious calling , the good catholic doesn ' t so much challenge conventions as reinforce them . potentially engaging enough to appeal beyond faith - based communities , writer - director paul shoulberg ' s feature remains a distinctly specialized item that would likely require dedicated care to reach beyond a core audience , which could be sizable nonetheless .\nother santa barbara awards went to the documentary \u201cangry inuk\u201d and the international film \u201cthe constitution . \u201d\nfollow the prompts to add the digital series subscription to your cart and complete the checkout process .\nshoulberg ' s inspiration for\nthe good catholic\ncame , in part at least , from his parents ' marital history . his father was an ex - priest , his mother a former religious sister . so it ' s even less of a surprise than it might otherwise be that his script portrays celibacy as a burdensome shackle and erotic love as a necessary ingredient in self - realization .\nthe winners were announced at an awards breakfast on the last day of the 12 - day festival .\n[ writer / director paul shoulberg ] never shies away from the religious aspects of the story but at the same time gives the film enough air from outside the church to give the tale wider appeal .\nwe were so excited to go on a tour around our school . we went into the school office , the medical room , the hall , the chapel , the library and even the staff room .\nthe good catholic is admirable for its willingness to question the strict methodology of the church , but it still paints its characters , and specifically daniel\u2019s crisis of faith , in very broad strokes . shoulberg\u2019s failure to provide a compelling love story causes daniel\u2019s decision to potentially leave his life\u2019s calling behind to feel particularly labored . and because daniel carries his emotions so close to the vest , his seemingly torturous existential struggle remains as opaque and inscrutable as the reasons behind his burgeoning feelings for jane . the film may succeed at expanding the boundaries of faith - based cinema , but it still feels obligatory in its approach .\nwe have been using the rhyme \u2018hickory dickory dock\u2019 to help us tell the time . now we can tell the time to the hour .\ndespite the good catholic \u2019s interesting macro approach compared to other films of its ilk , it\u2019s far less successful on a micro level . the foundation of jane and daniel\u2019s blooming relationship is particularly contrived , relying on the improbable conceit of a non - catholic woman not only showing up for confession once but continuing to do so for no plausible reason until she falls in love with the priest . as jane\u2019s fascination with death never materializes into an active interest in daniel\u2019s own all - encompassing spiritual journey , it remains a nagging mystery both why she relentlessly pursues such a deeply devout man , especially given his vow of chastity , and why daniel is so enamored with someone who\u2019s so unconcerned with his own core beliefs .\nquestion the strict methodology\nof the church ? you mean like the strict methodology of society ? living civilly amongst others , obeying laws , such as not stealing , raping or murdering another person . those types of strict methodology ? plato , socrates and their peers thought it good to discipline ones self .\nwhen you register , you\u2019ll get unlimited access to our website and a free subscription to our email newsletter for daily updates with a smart , catholic take on faith and culture from america .\nhaving set himself the task of depicting the inner workings of a parish , shoulberg fails to deliver on even the most basic details . father daniel ' s church , for instance , is clearly not catholic . to guess from its layout , it ' s more likely an episcopal or lutheran sanctuary .\nfather daniel ' s background story casts doubt on the legitimacy of his call in the first place . he passively acquiesced , so the dialogue suggests , in his recently deceased dad ' s wish to have a priest in the family . on that basis , some catholic viewers may be accepting of - - if hardly comfortable with - - the plot ' s predictable outcome .\nhover over the profile pic and click the following button to unfollow any account .\npaul shoulberg\u2019s debut feature won the independent cinema award at the california film festival .\nthe film contains religious themes requiring mature discernment , at least one rough and several crude and crass terms and an obscene gesture . the catholic news service classification is a -

( spoiler : the jane - daniel relationship is chaste , right up to the closing credits . ) victor\u2019s demand , that daniel face up to the decision he is about to make\u2014or not\u2014is glover at his best , and the clearest moment in the film regarding the priestly vows and the spiritual issues inherent in daniel\u2019s crisis . it is a deliberate dismissal of jane , her motives and whatever daniel thinks she offers . it is a bit thrilling , to be honest .\nthe story is roughly inspired by the real - life events surrounding writer / director paul shoulberg\u2019s parents meeting . so the portrayal of human relationship trumps any effort to make daniel\u2019s divine reasons for being in the priesthood make sense .\nwe were very quiet so that we didn\u2019t disturb anyone . we really enjoyed looking around and meeting the important people that work in our school , such as the lovely ladies in the office and some of the lunchtime supervisors .\nthe movie will be released sometime next year , with the first showing on site in bloomington . producing a film in this college town , which resembles the college town in which his parents met for the first time , creates a special atmosphere that will translate onto the screen , shoulberg said .\nwe are always so busy on a friday afternoon . we reflect on the week and celebrate how hard we have all worked . we choose the special boy and girl for the next week and celebrate . it is very exciting as the special boy and girl get to line up at the front of their line and their faces displayed in the classroom .\nthis is a fantastic independent film . jane and daniel , finding comfort in the boundaries created by the catholic confessional , carry you on their search for life ' s meaning . father victor and ollie are ahead of this curve but each character struggles with accepting their humanity . father ollie challenges daniel and jane to wrestle with their frailty and flaws . sparks fly and judgment is abandoned , until father victor exemplifies the voice of reason . less movie typical , the action in the movie is caring for the sick , watching basketball , and going for a run . endlessly refreshing you are challenged to realize the action is you . with wit and perfection you will find yourself asking what action will i take to live a compassionate life . .\nthe children in reception had a fantastic time watching the eggs in our incubator hatch into cute and fluffy chicks . click on the photo below to see us all holding them carefully .\nthe bereavement reception ministry strives to meet the needs of each family by providing a reception following a funeral service . our goal is to help families receive their family members and friends without the concerns of providing food , drink and seating . the reception area is set up and decorated by volunteers . the church and volunteers also provide the food and drink used during the reception . we are always in need of volunteers to help out .\nwe are very lucky to have the amazing opportunity of looking after our very own eggs !

your friends . notice how this won ' t work . this film makes you see these people as people . the types that have to sleep on sidewalks . find this film and watch it .\nfuck , all the returning vietnam vets , when they got home and heroin was no longer an acceptable outlet , the vast majority quit , by themselves . no rehab , no years - long struggles . they just quit .\nfinally , there is that time i was caught on camera pulling my pants down to inject heroin into my thighs in a doorway . whether i like it or not , this moment is probably my legacy to the world .\nhi tracey , i loved how open and honest you were about everything in the film but why did you choose to let someone document all of that ? weren ' t you worried about it coming back to haunt you , or didn ' t you care at that point ? also , i felt really sorry for jake . he seemed like a nice guy . what was he like ?\nher habit was such that she was injecting heroin into the soles of her feet as she no longer had any usable veins . she got arrested again , and served time while detoxing in the san francisco county jail . but this time she found a path to recovery . she chose to enter a long - term rehabilitation program , followed by four years in a sober living environment . the last time she used heroin was on february 27 , 1998 .\ni really believed that i was going to die , or be murdered . there was lots of evidence to make me feel that way , and i wanted it to be something that people would see after i was dead that showed that heroin was not the glamorous thing that i had thought it was when i was a teenager and had imagined it . i wasn ' t paid for the film ; it was a huge inconvenience in my life , but i feel like it still is sort of my legacy to the world , because it ' s something that ' s watched today . millions of people still watch it .\nthe film is littered with the dire accoutrements of junk \u2013 books by patron saint william burroughs , droning spacey music , hellish apartments with a hotplate and a wrinkly midden of clothes made up to resemble a mattress . but there\u2019s no moralizing here , just a picture of young people sucked into something they can\u2019t handle that\u2019s gradually taking over their lives . they\u2019re mostly castoffs in every sense , with families either distant or nonexistent . one exception is alice , 21 , who begins the film claiming \u201cshooting up is a meditation for me\u201d and ends it by kicking the habit , at least during the time we see her . less lucky is tracey , a highly intelligent woman who spends 8 months in jail , comes out determined to kick , and ends up in an abusive relationship and back to using and dealing .\ntracey . . . wow . you have come such a long way on such a hard , dark road . i just watched the film for a class i ' m taking ( sociology minor ) and i have to say that you , alice and\njessica\nare truly inspiring . i ' m writing a paper on the film as we speak , regarding the fact that those of you who got and stayed clean are all women ( i know jake was clean for a long time , but relapsed . i seriously cried while watching the updates . ) . but why do you think you and the other women stayed clean ? was it your ties to family and stability that helped you , where others failed ? thanks so much for being you , for your struggles and your triumphs , and for being such an inspiration !\nas someone who struggles with heroin addiction i really wish people would understand that most of us really wish we could change . when it ' s easy to stop you don ' t want to . when you want to it feels impossible .\ni don ' t know the state of things elsewhere , but heroin deaths are on the rise here in new jersey . i lost my best friend and several acquaintances in the past year alone . with several more a couple years prior .\nokazaki follows five young san francisco heroin addicts over two years , from back - alley haunts to blood - spattered hovels . there\u2019s tracey , 25 , a bright kid from ohio who deals dope . she lands in jail , emerging after six months clean and hopeful . eight hours later she\u2019s shooting up again . jake , 21 , has \u2018too much of a conscience\u2019 to steal , so he works as a prostitute . as the film unfolds , he learns he\u2019s hiv - positive . jessica , 18 , starts off reformed . \u2018i know if i use , i\u2019m going to die , \u2019 she says . but soon she\u2019s back at it , turning tricks and contracting hiv .\nbut unlike most addicted people , my experience played out in front of all of america . despite the fact that i had over one year clean at the time of the film\u2019s release in 1999 , the whole country knew me as \u201cthat junkie chick\u201d on hbo . those moments caused a collective feeling of shock , horror , disgust and curiosity . my addiction was no longer my own ; it belonged to a broader public conversation .\ni ' m talking about the euphoria heroin causes compared to alcohol and nicotine , which comes before any damage , physical addiction , or anything else . you are comparing everything except euphoria level , which would make sense if you have never experienced it .\nwas a gripping 1999 hbo documentary that peered into the lives of young heroin addicts on the streets of san francisco\u2019s tenderloin district in the years 1995 - 98 . every story followed was heartbreaking and arresting , but tracey helton definitely stood out brutally candid honesty .\nis jessica still doing heroin ? i ' m very interested in finding out how she has been all these years , especially since it seemed like her and jake were the least likely to survive at the end of the documentary . thanks for sharing ! !\nbut unlike most addicted people , my experience played out in front of all of america . despite the fact that i had over one year clean at the time of the film ' s release in 1999 , the whole country knew me as\nthat junkie chick\non hbo . those moments caused a collective feeling of shock , horror , disgust and curiosity . my addiction was no longer my own ; it belonged to a broader public conversation .\nthanks for participating in this film but even more so for gettin it together and building a life in reality for yrself . i been there and am now somewhere else living life clean and sober to da fullest xtent . i just wanted to let ya kno u r making a pozitive effect just by staying clean , proving a sober come back is possible and can happen for any of us ! keep goin , don ' t look back , jennifah powa\ncheese heroin was completely unknown in the united states until the first case was discovered at thomas jefferson high school in august 2005 . since then , detective jeremy liebbe of the dallas independent school district police department says he has arrested and interviewed more than 300 users .\nthe only reason it looks bad to stupid people is because right now , with the laws the way they are , only people with the worst problems ever end up using heroin . they have social problems , mental health problems , economic problems , you name it .\nsince street dealers would be supplying , heroin users would still die from overdoses . they ' d die when the dealers decided to cut it with rat poison , or wanted to spice it up with fentanyl . they ' d get hepatitis and aids from shitty dirty needles .\nthis film should definitely be shown as a wake up call for impressionable young people . as these kids mention several times in this movie :\nwe watched this sid & nancy movie , and it lead to this and that\nreally , it sometimes doesn ' t take more than that for a kid to experiment .\nlet ' s be cool , and show a two fingered salute to this tedious world , let ' s pretend to be rock - stars !\nmany young people look up to artists who romanticize the junkie - lifestyle . the problem is that artists usually have the money to buy drugs , places to live etc . young minds doesn ' t think of all the gut wrenching horrors and desperation that come in the wake of a junkie - lifestyle ( ask sid how fun his last days were ) . if this film prevents young people becoming some idiotic sid vicious , courtney love wannabes , it has served a purpose .\ni have known a few people caught in the horror of heroin , this documentary is very accurate and done well . it is very depressing but very true . i only hope hbo will do a follow - up story ( if any of the people featured are still alive ) .\nyou ' re missing my point completely and obviously just arguing for arguments sake . you are just quoting off some statistics or info you ' ve read online . while that ' s all good , you again miss my point : the euphoria created from a single shot of heroin cannot be replicated with any amount alcohol or nicotine . because of that , there really isn ' t such thing as a casual heroin user , while there are plenty of casual alcohol and nicotine users . therefore , your original point that alcohol and nicotine are also addictive but perfectly available is completely wrong .\nhey brother , just know the people over here at / r / opiatesrecovery understand how you feel . if you ever need some support , head on over and spill your guts . i wouldn ' t be almost 1 year clean from heroin today if it wasn ' t for that sub .\njake was a nice person in general but he had mood swings . i was not really worried about this movie coming back to haunt me because i did nto think i was going to live much longer . i wanted people to see heroin addiction is not glamorous like i imagined as a teenager .\nsf county jail has some methadone slots . heroin withdrawal generally takes 4 days of acute withdrawal . the worst day is between day two and three . your nose runs , your legs twitch , you can ' t sleep , you have to puke or use the bathroom . then the pain subsides .\nnot sure what op is talking about . heroin isn ' t typically the drug of choice for deadheads , though there are always exceptions , especially in a drug friendly community like that . maybe just using it as a blanket term for berkeley street people ? and yeah there are definitely still deadheads .\nyou have no idea what you are talking about . it has been estimated that around 10 % of the population is predisposed to alcoholism . ever been to a rehab ?

00\u2019s films because with this being more often than not unwatchable , unstoppable is strictly for fans of him , washington , or pine .\never since man on fire , tony scott has shown little regard for his audience\u2019s senses . he assaults them on a regular basis by throwing out every abrasive edit possible . my personal favorite was when he decided to change fonts on the subtitles while a character was reciting a phone number . clearly , that moment needed an extra emotional punch . after taking the same kind of approach with domino , deja vu , and the taking of pelham 1 2 3 , i held out little hope for his latest film , unstoppable . however , i must bestow upon him higher praise than i ever thought i would : unstoppable is surprisingly tolerable . it\u2019s not a smart movie , or even a particularly exciting one , but it at least doesn\u2019t over - saturate every color and will hold a shot for more than half - a - second . throw in strong chemistry between leads denzel washington and chris pine , and you have a film that is better than it should be , especially when that film is by tony scott .\nover the weekend , while another film came within a rounding error of doing so . this left the overall box office down nearly 20 % from last weekend , which combined with\nnot a bad triple set for denzel fans but as all fans of this great actor know there are many better films they could include instead of unstoppable . the siege is quite the surprise of a movie which i regard highly in the denzel filmography and man on fire speaks for itself in being one of the great films of the late tony scott . certainly worth the money but i would have taken unstoppable out and put something like crimson tide in instead . either way god love denzel washington .\nwe never thought we ' d be no . 1 ,\nsaid bert livingston , general sales manager for 20th century fox , which financed the movie along with dune entertainment and ingenious film partners . the audience for the movie was divided evenly between men and women , with 35 % younger than 25 and 65 % older . in international box office ,\nunstoppable\ntook in $ 18 . 2 million from four markets .\nunstoppable is based on true events i\u2019ve never heard of about train engineer frank barnes ( denzel washington ) and conductor will colson\u2019s ( chris pine ) brave attempt at trying to stop the unstoppable \u2013 a runaway train going speeds in excess of 70mph carrying toxic chemicals that are sure to explode from derailment once the train enters a town that has a turn that is only able to handle speeds under 30 mph . sounds exciting right ? it would be if you were able to follow the action without having a seizure .\nthe social network ,\nand not\nwall street : money never sleeps ,\nturned out to be the zeitgeist movie of 2010 . after what most of us have been through , who wants to observe the fictional gordon gekko wheeling and dealing and damaging his way back up the ladder ? watching him get his comeuppance , or , even worse , his redemption , is irrelevant .\nscott was a technical virtuoso , implementing a dizzying array of techniques including time lapse , shooting at six frames a second and using high - speed film . from man on fire onwards he utilised cross - processing to heighten colour , and photo - chemically manipulated his film stock . this experimentation produced what he called the \u201cmistakes that inspire\u2026 the magic that comes from accidents . \u201d\n, and the same weekend last year was a disappointment to begin with . 2010 still has a lead over 2009 , but that lead is down to 1 . 5 % at $ 9 . 90 billion to $ 9 . 75 billion , and by this time next weekend , that lead could be cut in half . and by the end of christmas weekend , it could be gone entirely .\na queasy counter - revolutionary note was struck again at the conclusion of crimson tide , when gene hackman \u2019s nuke - happy submarine commander , who for the whole film has been ready to vaporise russia any second now , is entirely absolved of wrongdoing by the military and positioned as the film\u2019s hero \u2013 the message being , he\u2019s basically a good guy if a little old - school .\nhollywood\u2019s more serious stabs at realist fiction emulate the social and psychological nuances of the 19th - century novel , and no one has taken american film further down that road than stroheim . shot on location in san francisco and death valley , the film was cut to less than a third of its original nine hours , but remains extraordinary for its unflinching vision of the corrosive power of money .\nall quiet on the western front is rightly recognised as one of cinema\u2019s most enduring and emotive portrayals of the tragedy of the great war . this epic film concerns a generation of german schoolboys who \u2013 exhorted by their patriotic teacher \u2013 enlist enthusiastically but are ultimately destroyed in the war . based on erich maria remarque\u2019s classic novel , the film proved highly controversial and was banned in many countries .\ntwo train operators must stop a runaway train . the opening credits claim that this film is based on a true story , but there are moments that are so implausible that i thought tony scott was pulling a coen brothers ' fargo on me . real or not , the film is exciting and fun and perfect for all of scott ' s gimmicks - - his ever - moving camera , quick cuts , big ( unrealistic ) explosions , hyper - masculine dialogue . it ' s all predictable but enjoyable , much like 1994 ' s speed . overall , this film is unsubstantial fun .\ntony scott , denzel washington and harry gregson - williams are at it again with their latest title unstoppable . this time denzel is trying to stop a runaway train carrying a cargo of toxic chemicals . if they can\u2019t stop the train in time , the consequences will be disastrous . nothing new here , but i do look forward to the harry gregson -

train genre ( anyone remember his remake of\nthe taking of pelham 1 , 2 , 3\nwith john travolta ? ) , took in $ 23 . 5 million , good enough for second place .\ntony scott surely went out with a bang for his final film . unstoppable is a non - stop thrill ride moving at the exact same pace as the runaway train all throughout the movie . i think scott ' s pacing in this is very strategically in line with the train . it is really only the first five , maybe ten minutes where the train isn ' t in motion . scott spends very little time building up his characters before the graves stakes are out on the line . this is much to the film ' s advantage , as scott utilizes the chatty banter between washington and pine to help establish their characters to such a remarkably fleshed - out degree throughout the course of their journey . scott gradually draws the duo together\u2026\narriving so soon after the nov . 2 elections , unstoppable would seem to uncannily embody the mood reflected in the results ; life seems fractured and out of joint , there ' s a testiness in the way people relate to one another , friction between classes is worse than before and the future looks bleak . and yet one senses an innate , underlying optimism ; perhaps the nation is down , but it should never be counted out , with the film suggesting that the common people can deliver the goods as they always have .\nwhile every film in the market fell by 50 % and skyline plunged 82 % , red managed to go one better with a catastrophic plummet of 90 % , crashing from 6th place to 20th . the drop is surprising given that , previously , red had consistently outperformed the market with relatively modest dips . evidently it proved particularly vulnerable on this occasion to a fresh intake of adult - skewing thrillers . the film has accumulated a healthy \u00a36 . 91m .\ntony scott brings a true event to the big screen in the most tense and dramatic way possible . unstoppable presents the typical - scott - crazed direction along with a nerve - racking plot that gets you from start to finish , and not to mention denzel and chris ' stellar duo . 4 . 5 / 5\nsome of the interview\u2019s most fascinating moments are basquiat\u2019s memories of his hand -

related thriller in 16 months \u2013 debuted with a solid \u00a31 . 71m , including previews of \u00a3442 , 000 . the result is almost identical to the taking of pelham 123 ' s opening salvo of \u00a31 . 78m , including previews of \u00a3311 , 000 . both films star denzel washington , scott ' s favourite actor , with crimson tide , man on fire and d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu numbering among their earlier collaborations . 20th century fox , unstoppable ' s distributor , would have hoped to beat pelham 123 and might have done so had snow and frost not buffeted the box office in many parts of the uk and ireland .\nunstoppable was inspired by the 2001 csx 8888 incident , in which a runaway train ultimately traveled 66 miles ( 106 km ) through northwest ohio . led by csx transportation sd40 - 2 # 8888 , the train left the walbridge , ohio , rail yard with no one at the controls , after the hostler got out of the slow - moving train to correct a misaligned switch , mistakenly believing he had properly set the train ' s dynamic braking system , much as his counterpart ( dewey ) in the film mistakenly believed he had properly set the locomotive ' s throttle .\non paper , universal faced a more straightforward distribution and marketing task with its george clooney hitman thriller the american . however , given a modest debut of \u00a3412 , 000 ( admittedly on fewer screens than both unstoppable and london boulevard \u2013 see chart below ) this appears not to have been the case . presumably , director anton corbijn ' s candid insistence the film was\neuropean\nrather than american was believed by cinemagoers . in the us the picture opened in september with $ 16 . 7m , which should equate to a uk debut of around \u00a31 . 7m . takings subsequently dived across the atlantic as word percolated that the american didn ' t deliver the accessible entertainment expected of the hitman genre . the film may escape the same fate here as this fact has already been taken into consideration by the audience .\nbut in its incidental portrait of discontented and discounted working stiffs who live marginal lives on society ' s sidings and are angry to varying degrees , the film carries an unexpected weight and could connect with middle american audiences in a big way .\nthere ' s nothing stunningly original about the central ( only ) plot ; driverless train loaded with toxic chemicals speeding towards heavily populated area , another train loaded with school kids etc . etc . this film could easily be relegated to the already swollen ranks of dire channel five afternoon movies but that is never going to happen - this film is absolutely brilliant . if you were feeling cynical then you could just tally up all of the standard action movie tick boxes ; they ' re all there - experienced old - timer , new recruit , corporate bean - counters , broken marriages , police cars crashing , stuff going bang and , of course , a huge train . it is , however , totally impossible to not enjoy this film . the cast are superb , the pace is absolutely relentless , the tension builds steadily to an almost unsustainable level and , despite an utterly predictable ending all you can say as the credits roll is ` wow , what a fantastic film ' .\nobserve the trees in the background of the film . it was shot over the course of september to november hence , there are scenes with green trees , fall colors , no leaves , then green leaves , then no leaves . see more \u00bb\nlike most of his films , tony scott\u2019s unstoppable assaults the senses . all manner of cinematic loudness and flashiness is presented onscreen with a concentration on momentum more than pesky notions of character development or authenticity , leaving the cast to pick up the pieces . thankfully , scott has a strong director - actor relationship with denzel washington ( this is their fifth collaboration ) , who stars alongside star trek \u2019s chris pine . given his stars and the rather straightforward disaster - aversion scenario , not to mention the pg - 13 rating , and this is scott\u2019s most accessible film in over a decade .\n\u201cunstoppable , \u201d is about a runaway train carrying a cargo of toxic chemicals . an engineer and his conductor is pitted against a train in a race against time . they\u2019re chasing the runaway train in a separate locomotive and need to bring it under control before it derails on a curve and causes a toxic spill that will decimate a town .\nthis is a comparatively restrained version of a tony scott film , at least next to his last few over - the - top releases ( domino and man on fire come to mind ) . after his heyday between top gun and crimson tide , scott\u2019s action movies have become absurdly scattershot with manic editing and bloated running times . but unstoppable tones down the flickery light show and keeps the runtime just over 90 minutes , returning a mid - 1990s version of scott\u2019s direction to the screen . after scott\u2019s train - themed flop last year ( the taking of pelham 1 2 3 ) , fox opted to contain the director some by cutting his budget , including his salary and that of star denzel washington by more than half each . good idea , given that scott hasn\u2019t had a film that\u2019s earned its budget back at the box office since 2004 .\nmilitarism wasn\u2019t just an aesthetic for scott . it was a way of working . \u201ci\u2019m a good general\u201d , he said . he shared with his elder brother ridley a sense of film as military operation : \u201ci\u2019m like patton\u201d . top gun became the cinematic cultural equivalent of bruce springsteen\u2019s song \u2018born in the usa\u2019 . the boss\u2019s anthem for forgotten vietnam vets may have been misappropriated by the reaganite right , but tony scott had scored a direct hit . the film was to define the rest of his career .\ntrain 777 is on a runaway course and is carrying tons of dangerous chemicals . if no one stops it , the train will eventually derail , most likely in a populated area , and lots of people will die . because the train company\u2019s countermeasures are useless , veteran train operator frank ( washington ) and rookie conductor will ( pine ) are the only people who have a chance of stopping it . unstoppable is a suspense film with only one bullet in its gun . the train has to keep moving or else there\u2019s no more crisis . speed made the smart decision of having the non - stop bus as only the meat of the movie , but surrounding it with the elevator situation at the beginning of the movie and the chase on the subway at the end . unstoppable is all train , all the time and you know the train can\u2019t be stopped and can\u2019t do significant damage until the finale . at one point , there\u2019s another train on the track full of innocent schoolchildren , but you just shrug . in a pg - 13 major motion picture , most moviegoers aren\u2019t going to be thinking , \u201cyeah , the film might become the non - stop thrill - ride version of the sweet hereafter . \u201d\njustified criticism aside , you would have to be spectacularly humourless as well as disinterested in film aesthetics not to find anything to appreciate or admire in scott\u2019s filmography . his worst films aren\u2019t \u2018so bad they\u2019re good\u2019 ; they\u2019re at once incredibly good and incredibly bad .\ndespite such mind blowing scenes , it\u2019s hard to watch any of it because tony scott decided to drink a keg of red bull and jolt cola before each day of shooting . seriously , unstoppable will give you a splitting headache by the time it\u2019s over . i thought michael bay was the king of the \u2018sweeping camera\u2019 shot but somehow tony scott ups that technique by using it one time almost every thirty seconds . he also abuses the \u2018zoom\u2019 button like it\u2019s a russian mailorder bride , slamming on it repeatedly . every single scene in unstoppable has either a swoop , a zoom in , a zoom out , an overhead shot , or the camera shakes for no goddamn reason . here\u2019s a breakdown of what scott wants from his dop :\nhe was a filmmaker completely willing to sacrifice continuity . testament to this is the illogical shifts in location and weather that mark his work . as he noted of unstoppable , the runaway train seems to traverse an unlikely range of territories and meteorological conditions . \u201cwe go from full green to snow , \u201d he admitted . \u201cno - one seems to have noticed yet ! \u201d\nbased on the true story of journalist gary webb . the film takes place in the mid - 1990s , when webb uncovered the cia ' s past role in importing huge amounts of cocaine into the u . s . that was . . . see full summary \u00bb\nby all accounts , including the official final investigation , csx acted responsibly and swiftly to bring its engine to a stop . but it\u2019s understandable why the company might not want to relive the incident by approving its brand for use in the film . ( trailer below )\nthe 2015 prequel to\ndespicable me\nfocused only on the overall - wearing minions the world had come to love . people clearly appreciated the yellow henchman ' s standalone film , since neither of the two\ndespicable me\nmovies have breached $ 1 billion .\nof course , unstoppable robs audiences of the usual disaster movie explosion in the finale , resulting in an anticlimactic finish as the runaway slows to a gradual halt . but at least the filmmakers can say they stuck somewhat to the true story , even though nearly every other detail about the actual event was hollywoodized for the sake of entertainment value . despite that , scott delivers an exciting and fast - paced ride that audiences will enjoy , largely due to the affability of his two leading men . had two other actors been cast , no doubt the film wouldn\u2019t have worked in the contrived - yet - effortless way that it sort of does .\nwritten and directed by tamra davis ; di - rectors of photography , ms . davis , david koh and harry geller ; edited by alexis manya spraic ; music by j . ralph , adam horovitz and mike diamond ; produced by ms . davis , mr . koh , lilly bright , stan - ley buchthal and ms . spraic ; released by arthouse films . at film forum , 209 west houston street , west of avenue of the americas , south village . running time : 1 hour 30 minutes . this film is not rated .\nfor all of you suspense and action lovers , this is the film for you ! i went to go see it and i was thrilled ! it made me so excited ! definitely must buy ! ! ! but would like to see a hd version . . . .\nin june 2007 , 20th century fox was in negotiations with martin campbell to direct the film , and he was attached as director , until march 2009 when tony scott came on board as director . in april , both denzel washington and chris pine were attached to the project .\ni\u2019m not sure when tony scott went crazy . his earlier films like revenge , true romance , etc . were masterfully shot and managed to keep the tension high while telling a compelling story . but his last few films \u2013 taking of pelham 123 , domino \u2013 have been so woefully bad that it appears as if scott abandoned all the things he learned and decided to try and make the camera and editing the most exciting parts of the story instead of the actual story itself . pelham was one of the worst movies of last year . will this year\u2019s tony scott train movie unstoppable be a better film or a total train wreck ? was that a trick question ?\nwashington had been attached since april to reteam with scott and play a veteran engineer who jumps into a locomotive with a young conductor ( chris pine ) to stop an unmanned runaway train loaded with toxic cargo . written by mark bomback , the film is loosely based on true events .\nthat ' s not quite how the runaway was stopped 9 years ago in western ohio , nor was the real incident thought to have started , as shown in the film , with a renegade engineer who couldn ' t be bothered to hook up his train ' s airbrake system .\nin unstoppable , denzel washington has the starring role of a veteran railroad engineer whose successful pursuit of the runaway in his own locomotive slows it down just enough so that it doesn ' t derail in a populated area and release highly toxic cargo . his greenhorn conductor , played by chris pine , then rides a pursuing pickup truck to the runaway ' s locomotive and leaps aboard to stop it .\n10 . denzel washington made a cool hand at the controls as the engineer , didn\u2019t he ? it was the oscar winner\u2019s fifth film collaboration with director scott . when mr . scott replaced the original director in a 2007 coup , mr . washington agreed to work with his friend again .\nalso in april 2017 , walt disney studios announced that its live - action remake of\nbeauty and the beast\nhad officially passed the $ 1 billion mark for global box - office sales . its total revenue makes\nbeauty and the beast\nthe highest grossing film of 2017 .\neven though the effects this alien invasion has to offer are top notch , every minute feels like a student film . the minimum of dialog or character development show that someone wanted to create cool action scenes and alien attacks but knew little about how to tie them into a story . so while the look of the film is major league , it never manages to grip you or make you care much about anything that ' s going on . at least the ending is somewhat surprising and fresh , but may infuriate viewers for all kinds of other reasons . wasted opportunities all around .\nrunaway train ( 1985 ) the bad cargo this time is human - a couple of escaped prisoners ( jon voight and eric roberts ) who , along with a sleeping train employee ( rebecca de mornay ) are racing through alaska without an engineer . as with unstoppable , there ' s a tight curve and a chemical plant ahead . the script is based on an original screenplay by japanese master akira kurosawa ."]}

instead , he lazily has other characters tell us ruben guthrie\u2019s a genius , ruben guthrie\u2019s the greatest creative this firm has ever had , ruben guthrie\u2019s won world advertising awards four years running . in fact , ruben guthrie says the latter out loud , himself , several times over . because , y\u2019know , complete cockhole .\nwith a steady supply of sharp gags , ruben guthrie could easily have been a comic redemption tale - awful man loses woman , finds himself then wins her back .\nas a writer and actor , cowell is obviously talented if erratic ; as a filmmaker he has a long way to go . ruben guthrie the movie has , essentially , two gears : lengthy montages modelled after ruben ' s ads , and even lengthier dialogue scenes presumably carried over from the play , often involving supporting characters tempting ruben to fall off the wagon .\n\u2018 ruben guthrie is a bold story with sydney at its core and it\u2019s fitting that this major australian film will have its world premiere and open this year\u2019s sydney film festival , \u2019 mr ayres said .\nvirginia is introduced gazing winsomely at ruben across the floor of a support meeting . a hair\u2019s breadth later , we\u2019re treated to a shot \u2014 from behind \u2014 of her crotch as she propels herself through water . soon she\u2019s moved in and morphed into an unhinged harridan who\u2019s spending all ruben\u2019s hard - earned money on organic produce . needless to say , ruben guthrie is not a film that aces the bechdel test . even ruben\u2019s mother ( robyn nevin ) is there to enable him \u2014 mom goes from supporting ruben\u2019s teetotalism to actively breaking his sobriety by holding his mouth open and pouring a glass of white down his gullet .\nruben guthrie is brendan cowell\u2019s brutally honest comedy about work , family and excess . this is a special play which taps a deep vein of australian life and asks , is it unaustralian to refuse a drink ?\nunless it was set on the harbour bridge , featured a suburban property developer fronting icac or starred the rabbitohs backline , there could hardly be a more sydney film than ruben guthrie to open the sydney film festival .\nruben\u2019s point of view \u2014 simultaneously objectifying and self - pitying \u2014 is clearly meant to be the point , but tonally ruben guthrie is perched awkwardly between damning expose and redemption story . it ends on a more optimistic note than the play , with ruben off the grog but staring lustfully at a glass of champagne , torn between an instant salve and the unlikely love of a good woman . self - annihilation beckons \u2014 or so one can only hope .\nguthrie finished with the game with 12 carries for 82 yards , but he had just three carries for 15 yards when the fourth quarter began . that ' s when guthrie started grinding the clock - and aubrey ' s defense .\nlife is good for ad man ruben guthrie - he leads a party boy lifestyle , has a model fianc\u00e9e and lives in a house on the water . he ' s at the top of his game , until some drunken skylarking lands ruben at the bottom of his infinity pool , lucky to be alive . his mum hits the panic button , and then his fianc\u00e9e leaves him , but not before issuing him one final challenge : if ruben can do one year without a drink , she ' ll give him another chance . . . ruben guthrie is the story of one man not only battling the bottle , but the city that won ' t let him put it down .\nif you think ruben guthrie is a terrible name for a film , well , you wait until you see the actual film . in it , the name is intoned , again and again , and always in full ;

all staggering around with drinks in their hands , all enablers daring to distract our hero from his noble quest .\nruben guthrie is the story of a highly successful creative director of a sydney advertising agency and his spectacular fall from grace . originally presented by belvoir street theatre in 2009 , the film marks the directorial debut of award - winning playwright , screenwriter and actor brendan cowell .\nruben\u2019s a hotshot creative living in a waterfront mansion with his czech model girlfriend zoya , played by abbey lee , last seen as one of immortan joe\u2019s unfortunate brides in mad max : fury road . as zoya informs us later , she was 16 when ruben \u201cfound her\u201d and she moved in , a fact that\u2019s relayed blithely . the film opens during an orgiastic bash at ruben\u2019s pad worthy of jordan belfort , and culminates in ruben jumping off the roof into his pool , where he sinks to the bottom as assorted trendies look on coolly .\nminister for trade , tourism and major events stuart ayres has welcomed the announcement that the world premiere of ruben guthrie , the screen adaptation of brendan cowell\u2019s acclaimed stage play , filmed exclusively in sydney with support from the nsw government , will open the 62nd sydney film festival .\n\u2018 vivid sydney , the world\u2019s largest festival of light , music and ideas , provided the backdrop for one of the film\u2019s scenes and i\u2019m sure opening night audiences at the state theatre will be enthralled by the festival , with ruben guthrie premiering during this year\u2019s vivid sydney .\nlee is an australian supermodel - turned - actress who makes her film debut this year in ruben guthrie , brendan cowell\u2019s adaptation of his own play . she\u2019ll also be seen this summer in george miller\u2019s mad max : fury road and next spring in alex proyas\u2019 gods of egypt .\nor at least that must have been the idea . ruben guthrie\u2019s transition from stage to screen has tempered him , and some of the play\u2019s more extreme lines \u2014 about ruben\u2019s orgies with fifteen - year old soap stars in hotels , among other things \u2014 have been excised . but by humanizing ruben ( relatively speaking ) the film also asks us to sympathize with him , which hardly seemed the point of the more darkly satirical play \u2014 not to mention all but impossible , despite the best efforts of patrick brammall , who is convincingly frayed in the title role .\nruben guthrie is on fire . he\u2019s 29 , he\u2019s the creative director of a cutting - edge advertising agency , he\u2019s engaged to a czech supermodel and sydney is his oyster . he pours himself a drink to celebrate , a drink to work , a drink to sleep and one spectacular night he drinks so much he thinks he can fly . ruben guthrie is brendan cowell\u2019s brutally honest comedy about spiralling high , crashing hard and being taken to aa by your mum .\nby general agreement , the leading light among stage writers of his generation .\n- the sun herald\nruben guthrie is on fire . he\u2019s the creative director of a cutting - edge advertising agency , he\u2019s engaged to a czech supermodel and sydney is his oyster . he pours himself a drink to celebrate , a drink to work , a drink to sleep and one spectacular night he drinks so much he thinks he can fly . a brutally honest comedy about work , family and excess , ruben guthrie taps a deep vein and asks \u2013 is it unaustralian to refuse a drink ? a funny and moving act of revelation about spiralling high , crashing hard and being taken to aa by your mum .\nnor does cowell seem in full control of the many scenes in which ruben ' s associates treat him with admiration bordering on awe . the suggestion that ruben is a whiz at his job is never borne out by what we see of his ad campaigns ; on the available evidence , his success stems partly from his good looks and swagger , partly from the advantages that naturally fall to a straight white boy who comes from money . but none of this stops the other characters from repeating the name\nruben guthrie\nover and over , as if it were the key to a magic spell .\nthere\u2019s plenty of bacchanalian behavior , but ruben\u2019s mostly a spectator to it . it\u2019s a neat jumping - off point for an exploration of liquor as an enabler of intimacy between heterosexual men , and of the kind of leering entitlement of which the new entourage movie is the ne plus ultra . ruben guthrie at least gestures toward a more gimlet - eyed take on the debauched behavior of its protagonists . but the titular character is such a solipsistic misogynist that a couple of hours spent in his company is about as easy to stomach as the gallons of liquor ruben\u2019s pals push toward him pretty much relentlessly .\nruben guthrie is not as simple as that , reluctant to suggest a sip of the sweet stuff is necessarily a ticket to doom and gloom . an initially archetypal trajectory ( boy loses girl ; boy goes on mission to get her back ) becomes something curlier and less conventional , with lashings of abrasive dialogue that recall its stage origins ( \u201cyou\u2019re going to die in the fucking snow chewing on your own hips ! \u201d , guthrie shrieks when zoya leaves him ) .\nthe film has fun with the idea that ruben ' s work on ad campaigns for lexus , royal randwick and vivid gets them splashy mentions on screen .\nruben guthrie , the booze - guzzling protagonist of writer - director brendan cowell\u2019s impressive sydney - set feature debut \u2013 the opening film of the 2015 sydney film festival \u2013 gets off comparatively lightly . the award - winning ad man\u2019s wakeup call is a broken arm inflicted by jumping off the roof of his waterfront mansion .\nbrendan cowell ' s play ruben guthrie , about a hotshot sydney adman trying to go sober , was praised by intelligent reviewers when it opened a few years ago . watching this adaptation directed by cowell himself , it ' s easy to see why : the dialogue has an energy and bite rare in australian cinema .\nagency boss ( jeremy sims ) , who flatters him with names like bradman , black caviar and kubrick , also figures ruben needs to drink to be creative .\nwhen ruben goes to visit his dad peter , peter is informed by the server harry . harry is played by jack thompson ' s real life son billy .\nquarterback j . p . price threw a strike to guthrie in the middle of the end zone to give the bearcats a 14 - 7 lead going into the break .\nruben guthrie is on fire . he\u2019s 29 , he\u2019s the creative director of a cutting - edge advertising agency , he\u2019s engaged to a czech supermodel and sydney is his oyster . he pours himself a drink to celebrate , a drink to work , a drink to sleep and one spectacular night he drinks so much he thinks he can fly .\nruben guthrie is the tantalising new comedy from internationally celebrated playwright and actor brendan cowell presented by ironbark . he lines up the shots for us in a heady cocktail of fizzy humour and touching revelation . it ' s a sparkling play about spiralling high , crashing hard and going to aa with your mum . . . . read more > >\nthe latest incident in guthrie\u2019s long history of irresponsible acts proves too much for his much younger fiancee , zoya ( abbey lee , impressive ) . a glamorous czech model who\u2019s been with guthrie since she was a starstruck teenager , zoya announces she\u2019s leaving him and will be returning home to live with her mother in prague after a photo shoot in brazil . most viewers will think zoya\u2019s making the right move , but at the same time will probably agree with her that beneath all that selfish recklessness there\u2019s still a glimmer of something lovable about ruben guthrie . the result is an ultimatum whereby she\u2019ll return in a year and offer him a second chance , provided he hasn\u2019t touched a drop of abooze .\nguthrie ' s 10 - yard touchdown reception from j . p . price with 25 seconds left in the first half gave the bearcats a 14 - 7 lead going into halftime .\nthis is where cowell\u2019s screenplay , a polished piece of work adapted from a play he wrote and premiered at belvoir st theatre in 2008 , finds its most interesting groove . in ruben guthrie , it\u2019s clear why the protagonist has stopped drinking ; less clear is why the key players around him \u2013 mum , dad , best friend , boss \u2013 would prefer he not remain sober .\nan entertaining coming - of - age dramedy about a man - boy pushing 40 , \u201cruben guthrie\u201d centers on a boozy sydney advertising hotshot who swears to stay off the sauce for a year to win back his fed - up fiancee . adapting his highly successful stage play , writer - helmer brendan cowell neatly balances comic elements with sharp observations of how friendships between aussie males [ \u2026 ]\nthe bearcats ( 3 - 5 , 1 - 2 ) still had work to do after guthrie ' s long run , which officially went for 41 yards , but the penalty was almost crucial .\nreacting to the pressure of friends and family gives guthrie a more domestic - feeling authenticity than someone like don birnam in the lost weekend , who freaked out at imaginary creepy crawlies running down the walls .\nit helps that cowell has learned the playwright ' s trick of balancing perspectives and letting unsympathetic characters mount plausible arguments . virginia ( harriet dyer ) , the reformed addict who moves in with ruben , proves to be a piece of work , but there are moments when she speaks the truth , and the same can be said for damian ( alex dimitriades\u200b ) , ruben ' s bitchily camp best mate .\ncowell wastes no time showing the hedonistic excesses of ruben guthrie ( patrick brammall ) . the opening scene has him screaming \u201clet\u2019s get smashed ! \u201d to a horde of hot - bodied party animals at his funky house in one of sydney\u2019s ultra - expensive seaside suburbs . from there he clambers on the roof and , just for the hell of it , plunges into his pool , avoiding death by a matter of inches .\nguthrie ( played by patrick brammall ) has the self - awareness to realise that liquor has got him licked , so signs up for aa , goes cold turkey and periodically calls his tetchy love interest in the hope she will start talking to him again . birnam\u2019s lost weekend is a year of sobriety for guthrie , whose urge for drink takes a back seat in storytelling relevance to the urge of others to encourage him to return to the bottle .\nbrammall seems to be channelling cowell at times but makes ruben a brazen , larger - than - life , funny character . but one who is so self - absorbed that it is difficult to feel much empathy during emotional moments .\nso after the penalty gave pilot point the ball at the aubrey 20 - yard line with 52 seconds left , junior kicker ruben martinez played the role he ' s played a few times in the playoffs - hero , at least temporarily .\nthose were both really huge ,\nguthrie said .\nthey had taken the momentum from us both times . it was big . the whole team needed those . that first pick [ in the end zone ] was really huge .\nruben guthrie is on top of the world . he ' s the creative director of a cutting - edge advertising agency , he ' s engaged to a czech supermodel and the city of sydney is his oyster . he pours himself a drink to celebrate , a drink to work , a drink to sleep and one spectacular night he drinks so much he thinks he can fly . after his night of debauchery his fianc\u00e9e leaves him , vowing only to return if he can go a year without drinking .\nin the wash - up , zoya tells him she\u2019s going back to prague . ruben\u2019s reaction is typically charming : \u201cyou\u2019re going to die in the fucking snow chewing on your own hips ! \u201d but ruben\u2019s as fragile as his ego is large , and when zoya \u2013 mystifyingly \u2013 tells him to come find her after a year off the drink , he\u2019s desperate to acquiesce . and so begins a year of sobriety , in which the australian drinking culture comes in for its most unforgiving close - up since\nfrom his middle linebacker position , guthrie picked off two james wurster passes , one in the pilot point end zone with aubrey driving to tie the game and another with under four minutes to play . both interceptions came after pilot point penalties extended aubrey drives .\nwhile the backdrops are spectacular - ruben has an aa meeting at tamarama surf club , his boozy father ( jack thompson ) runs a hatted waterside restaurant and he goes kayaking on middle harbour - there are signs of the film ' s theatre origins in the number of talky scenes .\nalex dimitriades struts on to the scene as guthrie\u2019s gay and decadently behaved best pal ; it\u2019s another beautifully timed comedic performance from the actor , playing the polar opposite of the bogan javelin - throwing lug he mined for an equal amount of laughs in 2014\u2019s screwy time travel romp the infinite man .\nprice finished the night with 71 rushing yards , including a 22 - yard touchdown run in the first quarter to get the bearcats on the scoreboard first . he also threw for 130 yards on an efficient 14 - of - 22 passing with no interceptions and the one touchdown toss to guthrie .\nas cowell\u2019s directorial debut , ruben guthrie doesn\u2019t show much filmmaking promise , either . its tone is wildly uneven , its pace scattershot . there\u2019s bad dream sequences , over - determined musical cues , and so many montages . at its nadir , when our anti - hero falls back off the wagon , cowell moves from montage to montage : first happily depicting a wild booze - up with blasts of brassy horns , then switching , the second go - round , to slow - motion shots set to a piano - ballad ; just to let you know that alcohol is bad and stuff .\nbelvoir associate artist wayne blair directed toby schmitz as ruben in the downstairs theatre in 2008 . the show sold out before it even opened . the following year brendan , toby and wayne \u2013 three of australia\u2019s finest young theatre artists \u2013 joined forces once again to create a shining new production for belvoir in the upstairs theatre .\narrogant , self - absorbed and superior , ruben goes to his first aa meeting and starts the 12 steps to getting his life back on track , which gets more complicated when his over - the - top gay best friend ( alex dimitriades ) lands on his doorstep ready to party after failing to make it in new york .\nreceiving : a - collin scribner 3 - 36 , james reeves 1 - 2 , skyler craig 1 - 5 , kristian wiseman 2 - 14 , albert silva 1 - 16 . pp - austin balderas 7 - 73 , mason guthrie 1 - 10 , willie davis 1 - 5 , jacob lock 2 - 14 , ricky campbell 1 - 6 , conner camacho 2 - 22 .\nthe film ' s main weakness is the complacency underlying its satire , a quality that may have been less visible on stage . given the literalism of film , it ' s hard for cowell to avoid celebrating his hero ' s expensive lifestyle : ruben ' s waterfront mansion with its exposed concrete surfaces may symbolise his empty existence , but it ' s also a plainly desirable piece of real estate .\nrushing : a - albert silva 18 - 89 , skyler craig 3 - 7 , dexter loza 1 - 2 , charlie radford 8 - 65 , kristian wiseman 2 - 4 , james wurster 4 - 16 , skyler starling 1 - 1 . pp - j . p . price 15 - 71 , mason guthrie 12 - 82 , austin trinklein 1 - ( - 2 ) , corbin sitzes 1 - 9 .\nruben bolling , pen name of ken fisher , is the author of the weekly comic strip \u201ctom the dancing bug , \u201d distributed by andrews mcmeel syndication to many newspapers across north america it also appears on : boingboing . net , one of the most linked - to websites in the world ;

the message is more about how , at different points in different lives , moderation may not be a realistic option .\npatrick brammall begins the film shaking champagne bottles , popping corks and lapping up liver and sinus damage , but the slick ad man aura evens out into a more broadly accessible character , less jordan belfort , more bloke next door ( albeit in a bigger and fancier house , and prone to nasty outbursts ) . it is a fine performance that finds an endearing middle ground between impressionable chump and spoiled brat .\nhere , zoya mocks australia for being a land of alcoholics . perhaps this is so , but for a country littered with beer bellies and winos , conspicuously few of our feature films have revolved around thoughtfully written multifaceted principal characters who are alcoholics \u2013 usually the heavy drinkers are relegated to the ranting goofballs or sad schleps on the side .\n\u00a9 2018 guardian news and media limited or its affiliated companies . all rights reserved .\none of the purest expressions of sydney hedonism yet brought to the screen , this is a bumpy but watchable movie , with patrick brammall\u200b from offspring bringing the right kind of superficial charm to the lead \u2013 though it ' s a mystery why cowell didn ' t just cast himself , since brammall has virtually the same blokey good looks , she ' ll - be - right drawl and little - boy pout .\nthis unpleasantness is not in itself a flaw . on the contrary , cowell ' s willingness to acknowledge the nastier side of human nature gives the film a substance missing from an outwardly similar recent australian comedy , the asinine any questions for ben ?\njake wilson was born in london and grew up in melbourne . he got his start reviewing movies for various websites and has been writing for the age since 2006 .\nactor brendan cowell makes his debut as writer - director with a black comedy about going teetotal starring patrick brammall , alex dimitriades and abbey lee .\nthe dark side of aussie drinking culture is examined in helmer brendan cowell ' s entertaining adaptation of his hit play .\npatrick brammall , alex dimitriades , abbey lee , harriet dyer , jeremy sims , aaron bertram , brenton thwaites , robyn nevin , jack thompson .\nsydney\u2019s stunning natural beauty , chintzy glamour and illicit substance - fueled urban underbelly are memorably captured by d . p . simon harding . visuals are at once a tourist advertisement and a cautionary commentary on the most brash , exciting and superficial australian city . production design by robert cousins gets the vibe of hipster lifestyles and cringingly \u201cgroovy\u201d creative industry work spaces just right . all other technical contributions are on the money .\nreviewed at sydney film festival ( opener ) , june 3 , 2015 . running time : 94 min .\nproduction : ( australia ) a madman entertainment release of a scarlett pictures production in association with screen nsw .

earned wisdom\u2013and they too dont seem nearly as layered as wendell is .\nwhen wendell finally gets arrested , the evidence is overwhelming , and he\u2019s forced to do a long stint in the slammer . prison is little more than a summer camp for him , however\u2014a place where wendell can read hilton conrad , hang out with the guys and play football . even visits from the girlfriend just get in the way of wendell\u2019s many recreational pursuits . she finally wises up and dumps the guy , to his great surprise .\nwhen wendell first arrives to shady grove and is adjusting the radio , the static that is heard is the same static from the beginning of the song\nhip hop\nby dead prez .\ndon ' t get all pissed off cause i am about to say\nwendell . . you rock\n! ~\nwendell baker is a dreamer and schemer whose latest scam lands him in jail and leaves him alienated from his longtime girlfriend , best friend and even his dog . eternally optimistic , wendell makes the most of his time behind bars and vows to turn his life around . upon release , he gets a job at a retirement hotel , where he befriends some of the colorful residents . wendell ' s new friends advise him on how to win back his girl , while he helps them battle the hotel ' s evil head nurse and his right - hand man .\nhouston - born wes anderson isn ' t around to steer their whimsy toward the weird , as he did in the wilsons ' early forays into film . but wendell baker isn ' t trying to be rushmore or bottle rocket so much as a sunny , funny fable graced by a rainbow of texas color .\nis an oscar -

$ 75 million of jewelry ? there , it happens all the time . \u201d\nwendell pierce , who has worked with hackford on three previous films , including ray , plays carlson , the group\u2019s most vigilant and forward - thinking member . \u201cwendell is a fabulous actor who also appeared in \u2018the wire\u2019 and \u2018treme\u2019 on hbo , \u201d says the director . \u201che carries a certain presence , so you know he is not just an everyday criminal . he\u2019s somebody who has thought everything out in detail . \u201d\nwith much of a fine cast wasted playing caricatures\u2013including ferrell in a tiny part\u2013the one bright spot is jacob vargas , whose turn as wendells best friend reyes is highlighted by a subdued charisma thats the equal of wilsons . reyes is featured prominently in the films first act , but when wendell tries to recapture his old life after serving time , reyes will no longer associate with him because his wife disapproves of wendell . consequently , his absence deprives the film of one of its most engaging characters .\nthe film reinforces the idea that it\u2019s the job of those with disabilities to inspire the jerks of the word to be nicer .\nthe production eventually got unprecedented cooperation from both west palm and palm beach . \u201cthe palm beach county film commission was fantastic , as was the town council , \u201d says hackford . \u201cdid they give me permission to do everything i wanted ? no . but i did get what i needed of palm beach in this film . you see the main roads , the neighborhoods , the famous bridges , which are integral to the story . \u201d\nwendell pierce ( carlson ) is universally hailed for his portrayal of detective bunk moreland on all five critically acclaimed seasons of \u201cthe wire , \u201d hbo\u2019s classic crime drama . he currently stars as antoine baptiste on \u201ctreme , \u201d reuniting him with hbo and the core creative team behind \u201cthe wire . \u201d\ndreaming of a career in the hospitality business ( hotels ) , wendell instantly bonds with shady grove ' s soulful , neglected residents . feisty oldsters played by seymour cassell and harry dean stanton \u2014 and a mysterious recluse played by kris kristofferson \u2014 then help turn him around . at last , he wants to grow up , take responsibility and seize bevo by the horns . wendell will \u2014 not may \u2014 set things right at shady grove , while also winning back his lady love from the boorish clutches of grocer will ferrell .\ndistraught , wendell starts pursuing his new career goal : working in the hotel industry . but the first job he lands is at a retirement community taking care of the elderly , which includes some crusty but goodhearted codgers , played by eccentric vet actors like harry dean stanton , seymour cassel and kris kristofferson .\nwendell ( luke wilson ) lives in austin , texas , where he makes money selling fake ids to illegal immigrants . his longtime girlfriend doreen ( eva mendes ) wants him to put his life in order , but nothing gets through to him . when the authorities bust his illegal operation , he lands in jail for a spell . once released , wendell decides to go straight , but doreen has moved on without him and is dating a new man ( will ferrell ) .\nthe actor found that he and hackford were very much on the same page about the character and the story . \u201ctaylor guided me right down the same track i was heading , \u201d he says . \u201ci have been involved in pieces like this in the past and i thought this was done really well . and i like what jason has done with parker . it reminds me of some of steve mcqueen\u2019s best work in the way it combines action , comedy and character . \u201d\nthe film itself is very light hearted and fun but almost a tad cheesy at times . while the actors all gave superior performances , some of the story plot is lost in silly scenarios that place the main character in strange situations . the backdrop of austin , texas and surrounding area is beautiful and well displayed as an additional costar to this film . some of the film is still somewhat rough and with a true indie film approach to filmmaking but overall well done in capturing the vision of the filmmaking brothers .\nthe script , written by john mclaughlin ( who also penned the screenplay for black swan and hitchcock ) , stays true to the essence of westlake\u2019s honor - bound criminal while updating and expanding the story . \u201cjohn mclaughlin did a brilliant job on the script , \u201d says alexander . \u201cthere\u2019s a big difference between a translation and an adaptation . a translation means to just copy the book down . john really adapted it . he found the character\u2019s spirit and captured what is magical about him . \u201d\nunfortunately , once wendell returns from prison and begins work at the retirement home , the film , which was co - directed by lukes brother andrew , begins its steep and irreversible descent . luke wilsons screenplay finds little humor in wendells interaction with the residents , and owen wilsons performance as the mean head nurse is so broad that it clashes with the movies otherwise low - key vibe .\nunder wendell\u2019s tutelage , summer and boyd team up with nasher ( kris kristofferson ) , a mysterious shady grove resident who suggests a benign howard hughes , to liberate the farm and engineer neil\u2019s downfall . as the movie winds down , it softens into an earthbound , feel - good answer to \u201ccocoon . \u201d\nfamilies can talk about how movies make audiences sympathize with characters who aren ' t entirely sympathetic . how does the movie make wendell seem\ngood\neven though he ' s actually an alcohol - guzzling lawbreaker ? does his\nbadness\nmake his redemption in the end even more striking ? can you think of other similar characters in other movies or tv shows ? and what about wendell and doreen ? do they seem like a good match ? why does doreen put up with him early on ? is her character a positive portrayal of women ?\nas filmmakers , luke and andrew wilson let their influences show . not only do 1970s films come to mind , but also traces of the coen brothers and wes anderson ( whose bottle rocket starred luke and owen wilson ) pop up in the movies irreverent , ironic tone . these clear influences dont result in a slavishly derivative film , but as the story becomes less involving , the nods to other directors grow more obvious .\nluke ' s wendell is a rascally but congenial con man who ' s in love with low - maintenance doreen ( eva mendes ) . but he loses her when he ' s busted for selling fake texas driver ' s licenses to undocumented immigrants .\ninto a jaunty comedy . it ' s best when it ' s effortlessly irreverent - - as when wendell and dave cross swords over doreen , or when cassel ' s character tries to pick up a girl by dropping the\ng\nword (\ng - spot\n) . and\nthat scene takes place at the john ringling museum of art . \u201cat the turn of the century , the ringling brothers were gigantic , \u201d hackford explains . \u201cforget all the broadway impresarios and the hollywood moguls\u2014\nfor the crucial role of claire , parker\u2019s live - in love , the filmmakers launched an extensive search . \u201cshe is vital to the story , \u201d says hackford . \u201cshe\u2019s the person that parker has chosen to be with , although he does not share much of his past or professional life with her . he knows that if she knows too much , it will hurt her . they had to be able to communicate a lot in very few words . \u201d\n, the highest honor bestowed by the society . under the pseudonym richard stark , westlake wrote 16 novels about the relentless and remorseless professional thief\neven luke wilson , who\u2019s generally an affable actor , isn\u2019t particularly believable . in fact , i found his character very annoying . i didn\u2019t buy that wendell suddenly started loving his girlfriend or that he had changed in prison . frankly , he seems too stupid for either .\nafter six years at icm chasman\u2019s entrepreneurial spirit led him to start current entertainment , a management and production company . chasman and current recently produced killer elite ( 2011 ) , starring jason statham , robert de niro and clive owen ; and blitz ( 2011 ) , based on the novel by ken bruen , also starring statham . chasman collaborated with charles roven and atlas entertainment on roger donaldson\u2019s the bank job ( 2008 ) , based on the 1971 baker street bank robbery , with statham in the lead role .\nmarks the first time that the westlake estate has allowed filmmakers to use the character\u2019s name in a movie .\nwendell , who works with a partner , reyes ( jacob vargas ) , out of an airstream trailer he calls the ellis island of the southwest , means no harm . a panglossian eternal teenager at heart , he is madly in love with his girlfriend , doreen ( eva mendes ) . she , however , is running out of patience with his protracted adolescence .\nno one actually has sex , but there ' s plenty of talk about it . men at the retirement home ask wendell if he can get them\nlaid .\nthey also proposition two young women by talking about how they ' d make them reach orgasm . two male nurses strip down to their bare behinds ( which aren ' t really seen ) and attempt to seduce two underage girls . a male nurse has a retiree sit on his lap and then flirts with her . wendell and his girlfriend kiss , though much of their interaction is fairly chaste , even sweet . one piece of graffiti refers to\nblue balls .\nwith the headline : a charming slacker fights the power in a retirement home .\nthe movie\u2019s story hopscotches through memphis , houston and new orleans , before settling in for a huge caper in palm beach , florida . \u201cparker butts up against another fantastic character when he gets to palm beach , a woman named leslie , \u201d says hackford . \u201cshe\u2019s not a professional like he is . she\u2019s a real -

istic red scare , and enough \u2018splosions and action to choke a walrus , this is easily one of the coolest movies of all time .\nin the scene with vulture ( aka adrian toomes ) , scorpion asks him for the true identity of the web slinger \u2013 as he wants revenge for spidey\u2019s involvement in his arrest .\nthe indian red is tiny\u2026it\u2019s no bigger than a cigarette lighter . but it possesses a potent elixir . and when it lives near people , it often takes shelter where they do .\nred scorpion is also being digitally restored by the same folks who did the indiana jones films , once upon a time in the west , the godfather trilogy , the alien films and , most recently , the all - new 4k 3d restoration on titantic . we are thrilled to be working with them on this , as well as many future releases for synapse films .\nthe story is a little different from other red scare films , because instead of america being invaded by commies or involved in some communist conflict , red scorpion focuses on the redemption of a soviet soldier when he comes face to face with the horrors of war . instead of the atypical american hero , here we have the \u201cenemy of america\u201d , in africa , and he decided to turn the tables on his controllers and snap back . it\u2019s unique and really a breath of fresh air in a fairly mundane genre . it also has a lot of shit blowing up .\neventually , nikolai begins to side with the locals , has a red scorpion tattooed on his chest by a shaman , and helps fight against the cubans and the soviets . horror fans should note tom savini ' s expert gore effects during a torture scene , while others will be pleased with a fine supporting cast including m . emmet walsh , carmen argenziano , and brion james .\nglickenhaus , who knew of crew and cast going unpaid , claimed that despite its poor box office receipts ,\nred scorpion\ndid well in video , television and foreign sales . nonetheless , at some point prior to its release in april 1989 , the abramoffs and regency found themselves in enough debt that the film went into the possession of performance guarantees , a completion bond company .\nafter jack returned to washington , robert abramoff stayed in los angeles and continued to produce films . he is now a full - time lawyer . reached at the offices of burgee & abramoff in woodland hills , he refused to speak about his brother or\nred scorpion .\nit ' s a family matter and i prefer not to comment on anything ,\nhe said .\nthe sinister six are a group of super - villains which has included both scorpion and vulture in the past as well as spider - man baddie favourites such as doctor octopus , electro and sandman .\nother trivia : lundgren is such a generous and kind raconteur that it ' s pretty funny listening to him reflexively trying to defend some things that any other star else would either conveniently gloss over or dismiss . he praises sylvester stallone ' s detail - oriented direction of rocky iv but also commends red scorpion director zito for his zeal :\nzito was very postitive and had full momentum all the time rather than focussing on the individual scenes .\nfurthermore , lundgren ' s not even sure why he did some of the stunts that he did for red scorpion , saying about a stunt where he jumps onto a speeding motorbike :\ni don ' t know if i was just stupid or if zito wanted it .\nhe added ,\ncrazy ! i would never do that today .\nurltoken red scorpion : dolph lundgren , m . emmet walsh , al white , t . p . mckenna , carmen argenziano , alex colon , brion james , ruben nthodi , vuzi dibukwana , james mthoba , dinky motsemme , ernest ndhlovu , thapelo mofokeng , mxolisi hulana , nicky rebello , drummond marais , charles comyn , tullio moneta , jurgen hellberg , graham clarke , joseph zito , jack abramoff : movies & tv\nwe\u2019ve been working on our release of red scorpion for almost a year now . we want ours to be the best version available in any country , on any format , and we have been taking our time putting together the ultimate version of the film for our audience . not only in compiling some amazing supplements , but also working on a restoration of the original materials to make ours the best looking version released .\nin the scene , lundgren goes into a drunken rage and breaks a man ' s nose with one punch . it ' s easy to think that is drago struggling with the loss . the problem is that it is not a scene from rocky iv but from 1998 action film red scorpion , where lundgren plays a soviet spetsnaz operative . hopefully millions of people scroll far enough into the comments section to learn that .\neven as propaganda , \u201cred scorpion\u201d is a bit confused . every single russian and cuban soldier in the film is portrayed as being pure , uncomplicated , hitler - doesn\u2019t - look - so - bad - in - comparison evil ; every one , that is except lundgren , whose heroism dilutes the intended message that the only good soviet is a dead one . then again , by the end of the film , the only russian who\u2019s\nbefore fallen lobbyist jack abramoff assumed his role as the most scrutinized man in washington , he had a brief career as a budding hollywood producer . he made just one movie , the 1989 cold war bomb\nred scorpion .\nwith its blatant propaganda , its collaboration with the apartheid south african government , and financial misdealing , it ' s notable , even for hollywood , for being one of the seamiest productions in recent memory .\nif only things were as jovial off the set . they weren ' t . actors went unpaid ; argenziano said that although he was paid his initial salary , he has never received a residuals check for\nred scorpion .\nthe manager of one of the major cast members , who did not want to be named , said that , according to her client , many of the actors and crew were never paid at all .\nin countries like india , scorpion stings are a serous public health issue , particularly among children , where the unclad foot of an unwary youngster can lead to a painful and in some cases if left untreated deadly sting .\nbut the story behind\nred scorpion\nis far more captivating . the film was to be a manifesto for abramoff ; a rambo - like morality tale and a grand indictment of communism - - his reagan doctrine parable in action - packed technicolor . and in the process of conceiving of and making it , abramoff helped groom an african despot , rose to high levels in the k street food chain , and got to play international spy .\none thing to understand about abramoff was that his hollywood career and his lobbying career weren ' t separate\u2014they were like a giant melting pot of influence and propaganda . in fact , red scorpion was effectively funded by the south african military , thanks to the fact that the country was abramoff ' s primary client at the time . if you watch the movie , in fact , you ' ll notice that the tanks being driven throughout are south african .\nwith citizens for america disbanded , and law school done , abramoff moved to los angeles . he came up with the premise for\nred scorpion\nand hired arne olsen , a young screenwriter with no credits to his name , to write it . the abramoffs told olson they wanted to base the fictional african country in the film , mombaka , directly on angola , and the rebel leader on savimbi . olsen said he churned out a baldly propagandistic script .\nlundgren is the\nred scorpion\nof the title ( like you couldn ' t figure that out ! ) . the russian government sends lundgren , their top soldier , to africa to hunt down and kill a rebel leader that is giving russian bases some flak . lundgren infiltrates the group by look like a deserter but along the way ends up becoming empathetic towards the rebels views . his government in turn tries to exterminate lundgren so lundgren gets angry and bullets begin to fly .\nhow the dvd / blu ray makes the case for the film : in his liner note , damoiseu gives a stirring and comprehensive history of red scorpion that reveals how the film ' s freaky production history helped to make it a memorable role for the charismatic - - look at him pout ! - - athletic - - thighs as big as a rob liefeld comic book character ! - - and smart - - has a master ' s degree in chemical engineering ! - - swede .\nsince recently , dolph lundgren owns the privilege to weight on a film ' s orientation and his character ' s contruction . without the ex - punisher signature , a project can stay a treatment for eventual buyer . masters of the universe , red scorpion 2 , the punisher 2 and even the sequel of cover up . . . the list of sequels projects on dolph ' s agent desk is long .\nfrom impact , # 30 , december 1990 ( translated from french )\njames glickenhaus , whose company , schapiro glickenhaus entertainment , ended up distributing\nred scorpion\nafter warner brothers jumped ship , said he was not aware of the help provided by the sadf , but he was aware of the controversy over the location .\nlook , had the film been made in nazi germany , i wouldn ' t have distributed it ,\nhe said .\nbut i personally felt upon investigating that the namibian government was more simpatico than the south african government .\nand once their victim is captured \u2013either clasped in the scorpions\u2019 pincers , or poisoned by a deadly sting , like this roach - digestive fluids turn the meal to liquid , that can be sucked into the scorpion\u2019s stomach . and what\u2019s left , is cast aside .\ni won ' t lie , i came out of red scorpion extremely disappointed . it starts off all right but quickly degrades into a nearly actionless display of lundgren living with some natives . it does have two good action sequences , especially the climax but that comes an hour and a half too late . the production values are also rather flat and the lighting for one thing looks really cheap . it ' s nice to see lovable character actors m . emmet walsh and brion james present but they are in mostly thankless roles\n\u2014 dolph lundgren , reflecting on the production of red scorpion in a 2011 interview with the now - defunct site mondo video . the swedish actor did a number of his own stunts in the film , including a scene in which he had scorpions walking on him .\njesus , i did so many crazy stunts on that film ,\nhe recalled .\nit ' s unbelievable when i think back about it . it would never happen today . nobody would ever let you do any of that stuff now .\nwhile these trends ensured red scorpion could be made and would have an audience , it also meant that it was far from unique in the market . cannon films , another independent filmmaker of the era , was making dozens of films just like this one every year , relying on a stable of well - remembered b - list action heroes like chuck norris , charles bronson , and jean claude van - damme . ( side note : this documentary about cannon is an amazing document of this era and its impact on filmmaking . )\ndirected by joe zito , who i\u2019m sure everyone remembers as the director behind the prowler , friday the 13th : the final chapter , and the chuck norris vehicles invasion u . s . a . and missing in action . another factor in red scorpion and the films mentioned , with the exception of missing in action , is legendary effects master tom savini . instead of machetes and pitchforks severing limbs this outing , its machine gun fire , so expect some gore in these firefights . this is way more than bond style action here .\npandin recalled that abramoff enlisted russell crystal , the head of the iff ' s johannesburg office and an advisor to f . w . deklerk , to be an informal producer on\nred scorpion\n( whether this meant crystal helped fund the film , pandin did not remember ) . but pandin says abramoff refused to compensate crystal afterward .\nit wasn ' t a good experience ,\npandin said of the film .\na lot of people didn ' t get paid . russell wasn ' t entirely enamored of jack after that .\nthis action - packed controversial cult classic is now available from synapse films in a brand - new 2k high - definition transfer of the uncensored version , containing footage never before seen in the u . s . featuring amazing performances from dolph lundgren , m . emmet walsh ( blood simple ) and the late brion james ( blade runner ) , red scorpion contains bloody special effects from the legendary tom savini ( dawn of the dead , friday the 13th ) . loaded with interviews and other amazing special features , this disc will blow you away !\nred in the qiu yan who , qiu yan fourth step into the fifth order to spend enough of two years , and now the mood of the year no progress . qianfeng into the sixth order has also been a year s time , he is still relatively high quality roo .\nconsidering the budget and target audience , red scorpion pretty much achieves its modest goals . draggy patches notwithstanding , this is an entertaining action movie featuring dolph lundgren at the peak of his physical form along with a healthy dosage of one - liners . in the end , however , the film offers nothing new , and the twist of making the hero a russian is hardly enough to extend the film ' s appeal beyond the audience of hardcore action fans or loyal dolph lundgren followers . if you do not fall into any of the abovementioned categories , give it a miss .\nin the mid eighties when dolph lundgren was picked out of the five thousand men who auditioned for the role of the almost super human russian boxer ivan drago in rocky 4 . it was assumed that he\u2019d been marked for stardom , but lundgren was never able to the right role . his first staring role as he - man in the highly anticipated masters of the universe ( also known as the movie that sank cannon pictures ) wasn\u2019t the blockbuster that it was expected to be . although when he was cast as the lead in red scorpion a year later it seemed like a sure thing .\ndolph lundgren ' s pectorals are the real stars of ' ' red scorpion , ' ' an action - adventure movie set in the fictional african country of mombaka . filmed from below so that one has the sense of peering up at a massive kinetic sculpture , his glistening torso , which over the course of the film is subjected to assorted tortures , is the movie ' s primary visual focus whenever the action slows down . and since mr . lundgren remains stone - faced , rarely speaking except to issue commands in a surprisingly hesitant monotone , his heaving chest actually communicates more emotion than his mumbling lips .\ndisc # 1 - - red scorpion 1 . the mission [ 8 : 12 ] 2 . getting in trouble [ 10 : 59 ] 3 . escape [ 11 : 16 ] 4 . traveling home [ 12 : 05 ] 5 . homecoming [ 8 : 04 ] 6 . left for dead [ 8 : 36 ] 7 . desert wandering [ 9 : 20 ] 8 . training [ 5 : 15 ] 9 . final test [ : 56 ] 10 . unwelcome reception [ 4 : 02 ] 11 . kicking some ass [ 8 : 33 ] 12 . end credits [ 7 : 22 ]\nthe film \u2013 ah the soviet super - solider , the biggest threat to the american way of life right under marijuana and civil rights . ever since the end of wwii ( and that one little incident where we killed the rosenberg\u2019s for espionage , but we don\u2019t like to talk about it ) , america has hated the idea of those godless commies gaining power . so , um , they just went out and gained a shitload of power - most notably cuba and vietnam , but even in south africa russian influence took root ( by force , but again shhhhhhhh ) . this brings us to red scorpion .\nnow to the smaller , more rapid explosions that produce little lead balls of instant kill . i\u2019m talking about gunfights , and there are plenty of them . of course since there\u2019s soviets , you\u2019ve got ak - 47\u2019s out the ass , but some odd choices too . like the rpk lmg ( which i only recognized from black ops , so thumbs up for violent video games on the learning scale ) , which dolph uses in an odd way , holding the bi - pod instead of the grips when firing . it\u2019s small things like that that make red scorpion stand out , just those little deviations to action stereotypes that stick with you .\npeter roff , who is listed as abramoff ' s personal assistant in the credits of\nred scorpion ,\nsaid he worked for abramoff out of the latter ' s washington office during the time of the production in 1987 and ' 88 . roff , however , recalled doing more work for the iff than for the film . indeed , he only vaguely remembered the name regency entertainment . he never went to l . a . or to the set in africa . but roff , who worked on george h . w . bush ' s ' 88 campaign , claimed he too was unaware of the source of the iff ' s funding .\ndesigned to make red - blooded americans cheer . lundgren plays a russian special forces operative brought to an unnamed african nation , ordered to assassinate an anti - communist military leader . instead , he switches sides and joins a group of freedom fighters in beating down the soviets . it\u2019s the cold war in desert heat , essentially .\nthe thing about red scorpion is that it ' s not a great movie by traditional critical standards . it ' s from an era of filmmaking when auteurs weren ' t the driving force behind independent filmmaking in hollywood . the auteurs never really went away , of course\u2014john waters and david lynch made some of their best films during this period\u2014but a lot of low - budget action movies being made in this era were trying to riff off the reagan - era republicanism of the rambo series . as abramoff was both a reagan - era republican and a guy who grew up in beverly hills , he was pretty much the perfect person to take advantage of this b - movie trend .\nthe iff , however , could not claim impartiality on the subject . it was , in fact , clandestinely funded by the sadf ' s military intelligence arm , according to former u . s . officials , anc documents , and reports published in u . s . and u . k . according to a 1995 newsday report , the iff received up to $ 1 . 5 million a year from the sadf from 1986 through 1992 , as a part of operation babushka , a smear campaign meant to discredit mandela and the anc by portraying them as allied with communist regimes . an sadf intelligence chief also told the newsday reporters that the sadf helped fund\nred scorpion .\nscreenwriter andrew lemay did an interview with the\nboxing with the truth\nblog has written a screenplay and said he ' s discussed the idea with people tied to the rocky series . a synopsis of the screenplay was shared with si . the characters in the proposed drago movie are owned by mgm . lemay adapted the drago film from his original screenplay titled red glove .\n' ' a south african defense force spokesman in pretoria has confirmed that vehicles , weaponry and other military equipment has been made available to the film makers , ' ' said an article published under the headline ' ' scorpion sting . ' ' ' ' this is equipment that could not be provided by the private sector . the film makers are paying for this assistance . ' '\nin ' ' red scorpion , ' ' which is now playing at the criterion and other theaters , mr . lundgren portrays nikolai , a one - man , soviet - trained killing machine assigned to assassinate a rebel leader who is fighting the mombakan communist regime . attaching himself to the rebels ' second - in - command ( al white ) and a wild - eyed american journalist ( m . emmet walsh ) , he crashes their stronghold but fails to kill their leader . discarded by his nasty communist bosses for failing in his mission , he is rescued in the desert by a kindly tribe of bushmen who nurse him back to health and initiate him into the tribe . once restored to fighting condition he is ready for battle , this time on the side of the oppressed rebels .\nabramoff ' s last gasp as a producer came thanks to austin st . john , a . k . a . the original red ranger from the power rangers . after st . john left the show , he created an instructional martial arts video , which you can watch here in full , because austin uploads his stuff to youtube . abramoff has just three imdb credits as a producer . somehow , this is the third .\nthe house of the scorpion is a dark , twisted , but ultimately hopeful story about a young clone named matt who grows up in a dystopian world under the control of a drug lord . oh , and this drug lord happens to be the man from whom he was cloned . as it turns out , this guy , called el patr\u00f3n , cloned our protagonist so that he might harvest matt ' s organs to keep himself alive later in life .\nbut at the same time , what makes red scorpion so fun is the fact that everyone was clearly throwing caution to the wind when they made it . the film could have been shot anywhere but instead it was shot in the desert , causing the film ' s shooting schedule to distend from its original 2 1 / 2 months to 4 1 / 2 months . the film ' s crew similarly used real guns and real dynamite for stunt - work . and while tom savini ' s make - up effects certainly wasn ' t real , lundgren did many of his own stunts . several live black scorpions were let loose on his back in one scene ( their stingers had rubber tips put on them ) while a p . o . ed hyena took a bite out of lundgren after the filmmakers shot a deleted scene that ' s not featured in synapse ' s release but is alluded to in damoiseau ' s essay .\n' the wolverine ' \u2212 hugh jackman sees more of jean grey & the silver\u2026 after the initial trailers for the wolverine depicted our favorite stogie -

frank digiacomo\nwe worked closely with two companies to help us with extras for our release . both red shirt pictures and ballyhoo motion pictures have put together some great stuff . and a big congratulations goes to tom savini who not only gave us an interview , but raided his footage archive to give us some great behind - the - scenes \u201con the set\u201d footage that no one has seen in 14 years . and big thanks to dolph lundgren for allowing us into his home for a great retrospective / interview about his career .\nloudmouthed , arrogant , commie hating , 100 % american ( that\u2019s for goddamn sure ) reporter and supporter of the rebellion , dewey ferguson ( played by the legendary m . emmet walsh ) was caught by the red army snooping around the base . insulting nikolai beyond any and all comprehension , especially when you consider he could easily tear him in half , his blabbering draws the guard into the cell . when you have soviet soldiers in your jail cell and you piss them off , and you\u2019re in the middle of fucking nowhere , that\u2019s not exactly a good thing .\nhis soviet will represses these thoughts , and he progresses with his assassination mission . nikolai is caught red handed ( i think i\u2019m getting good at this pun business ) trying to carve up sundata , who leaves him unconscious for his fellow soldiers to find , still thankful for his assistance in the escape . vortek is furious with his failure , casts him out of the spetsnaz , and sentences him to death at the hands of the cuban occupiers . since russia pretty much used cuba as a whipping boy , they decide to torture him for soviet secrets before the execution .\nso since all three are on the run from a triple force of red army destruction , kintash decided to head to his home village where they can rendezvous with sundata ( which in case you forgot is the prime target of nikolai ) . upon arrival , they realize that general vortek has obliterated the village with his hind helicopter . men , women , and children have been mercilessly gunned down , bombed , and burnt . not everyone has been executed though , and the survivors receive sundata as he arrives at the graveyard of a village . nikolai sees the horrors of his faction , and begins to question who is really on the right side of the conflict .\nindian red scorpions , contrary to popular belief , only use their stinger as a last resort . at night they go hunting . they wait for their prey ( insects ) to come and when they do , the scorpions grab their prey with their pincers . then , without even taking the insect inside their mouth , they produce digestive juices from their preoral gut and digest it slightly . then , the setae takes out the part of the insect that they can ' t eat , press it together and get rid of it . the food is then brought into the body by the muscular pharynx . next , food goes through the pharynx , the esophagus , the mid gut , the hind gut , and is then released in the form of feces from the anus . [ 1 ]\ndolph lundgren rules . i can ' t say that i ' ve seen a lot of his work , since the ' 90s most of it has gone straight to video , but the guy knows exactly who he is and where he fits , and that is a blessing . joe zito ' s\nwas lundgren ' s third feature film in a prominent role and he certainly made the most of it . the story is a ludicrous , flag - waving , jingoistic mess , but the execution is actually pretty damned decent , and lundgren ' s presence on screen plays no small part in its success .\nnikolai ( lundgren ) is a highly trained spetsnaz agent sent into africa to assassinate a rebel leader . he has known nothing in his life but following orders , and these orders are clear . he has to befriend a rebel in order to get close enough to snuff out the leader , but when he realizes the conditions against which these men are fighting and who is the cause , he has a change of heart and becomes a commie - killing machine .\nredsploitation film was a very popular action genre in the ' 80s , thanks in large part to the cold war and reagan ' s xenophobic ranting . just as the ' 70s gave us a healthy portion of nazi - hunting flicks , the ' 80s was brimming with films about the evil empire , which was of course , the communist ussr . dolph lundgren , for some reason , was the go - to guy for imposing russian characters in action films . his breakout role as ivan\ni must break you\ndrago in\ncertainly primed that pump . even though lundgren ' s looks are clearly scandinavian , his blond hair and blue eyes still managed to convey aryan evil to american filmgoers . whatever the reason , it worked , and dolph quickly became a second tier action icon .\n) was a real director who had some skills and took a very difficult shoot in namibia and made it work surprisingly well . the dialogue wasn ' t going to set the world on fire , but we go into these movies expecting shit to blow up , and blow up it does .\nfilms , but it certainly keeps the action moving at a quick pace . if you throw in a little bit of comic relief from m . emmet walsh , you ' ve got all the ingredients for a good time .\n, dolph lundgren never quite made the a - list . that strata was saved for men like arnold , sly , and bruce , though i think that is a bit of a shame . lundgren clearly had the chops , and i think with the right choices he could have been a bigger star . it was nice to see him on the big screen again in\ncertainly does encourage me to dig through some of his dtv work in search of gems . this film is a lot of fun , if a little bit long at around 105 minutes , and deserves a second chance , definitely check it out .\nthis is another of the glickenhaus films coming to us from arrow video and synapse films . this time around , it looks like arrow video got the jump , and their disc is very solid . the image quality is very good , though ' 80s action films will probably never look great . there is abundant fine detail and a noticeable lack of intrusive grain , probably due to the fact that the vast majority of the film is shot in very bright lighting , thus allowing the filmmaker to use slower film speeds and reduced grain naturally . the audio is pretty good as well , there isn ' t a whole lot of directionality to the mix , but the explosions do manage to pack a punch and i found no major faults with the dialogue .\nis really great . on the disc we have a commentary from zito moderated by howard s berger , which is okay , though zito seems a bit laconic on the track and needs prompting often . there is also a great interview with dolph , which is sadly only about 20 minutes , because i could listen to him all day . dolph is incredibly endearing and intelligent and understands his place in cinema history better than anyone . a true gentleman . rounding out the video extras is a brief interview with the composer , which is kind of a throw away , but is made up for by the fantastic lundgren stuff .\nalso included in this package is the awesome custom art from the dude designs ' tom hodge , 3 additional cover options , a fold out power , a very in depth interview and essay on zito and the film by calum waddell , and the super neat arrow video catalog . this is a very impressive region free package , and we definitely recommend it . there is a blu - ray coming soon from synapse , also , so be aware of that , and we promise to review and compare when we get out hands on that one as well , but i think you can feel confident in picking this one up , it ' s a winner !\ndo you feel this content is inappropriate or infringes upon your rights ?

well , that proves to be a little more problematic . rachenko ' s handlers don ' t take the news of his failure all that well , torturing him in the hopes of learning whatever rebel secrets he ' s keeping squirreled away in that tightly - cropped head of his . after pulling off another daring escape and being taken under the wing of an elderly african bushman , rachenko witnesses first - hand the horrors his former comrades have been inflicting on the proud people of this country . rachenko signs up with the rebel forces , cocks a shotgun , and steels himself for some steamy , blood - spattered commie - on - commie action .\n. i mean , it ' s comfort food , and part of that ' s playing exactly like a big stack of the action movies that cannon was churning out in those days . hell , they even got\n' s joseph zito to hop into the director ' s chair . there ' s not a whole lot to separate\nfrom the rest of that one - man - army - for - truth - justice - and - the - not - communist - way bunch . sure , the couple of standout action sequences are more than a little bit badass . the african backdrop makes for some pretty spectacular visuals at times . the plight of the tormented africans themselves packs more of a sincere emotional wallop than these sorts of action flicks usually do . tom savini contributes a couple of grisly make - up effects pieces that make for some of\n' s most brilliantly cringing moments . plus you score dolph lundgren in the lead , and you ' re never gonna hear me complain about\nfield so much of his own stuntwork , leaping off a motorcycle onto a speeding truck or marching just a few feet away from another colossal explosion . no cheating with cgi\n' s good enough , but if i didn ' t have to sit down and hammer out this write - up after seeing it again for the first time in however many years , it ' d be a distant memory about twenty seconds after the fact . i\n, but it ' s really , really , really routine . because his character is a coldly manufactured weapon whose heart is only just now starting to beat , dolph lundgren can ' t exude the sort of personality or charisma that usually draws you in with ' 80s action flicks . m . emmett walsh ' s grating comic relief journalist scores nothing but groans throughout just about every last frame of screentime he gets . the movie kinda takes a while to get going - -\nstarts not with a bang but with a conference room - - and the pace has a tendency to sputter once the adrenaline rush of its action sequences has worn off . it ' s beyond awesome that synapse films has restored an uncensored version of\nis an okay - to - pretty - good action flick from the tail - end of the ' 80s . i mean , it ' s not the sort of movie you ' re likely to speak about with hushed awe like\n. it ' s not the sort of movie you ' re likely to speak about , period . still , there ' s just something about these cannon - inspired shitkickers that i can ' t get enough of , and i ' m always game to pal around with dolph lundgren in 1080p . even if you ' re not all that bowled over by\nitself , the story behind the movie - - a 19 - year - old king giving the production the boot a week before cameras were slated to roll , the looming spectre of apartheid stomping all over distribution , and disgraced lobbyist jack abramoff having conceived and produced the whole thing in his earlier years - - is pretty damned impressive , and all of that ' s covered in great detail throughout the extras on this blu - ray disc . the movie itself is nothing all that great or noteworthy or whatever , but you know if you ' re a sucker for this flavor of action flick , and if you are ,"]}

( the film partly implies that madi devotes himself to work in order to avoid confronting his social anxiety . ) while she respects him as an employer and sees him as personally sympathetic , she finds his dedication to politics amusing and often serves as something of a straight man , responding with wry humour or playing harmless pranks on him .\ndelgesh had raised a budget of \u045b250 . 000 for the film , from a combination of savings , a grant from the l\u00e6nas city council for artistic works , and a small bank loan . bhari ryd was the first actor to be cast , as delgesh was familiar with his previous work and believed he could pull off\ninfusing hoary clich\u00e9s with something approaching genuine sentiment .\nhadrau nirel was cast due to his performance in the play august , where he played a dimwitted incompetent seeking a public service job for the perception that it represents permanent employment . according to delgesh , georgette was the most difficult role to cast since\nthe movie revolves around her\n. ultimately , ad\u00e9la\u00efde maillette was chosen for the role , impressing delgesh with her sartorial sense and\nquiet warmth\n, making her stand out from other actresses who had played georgette as too docile and repressed at their auditions . maillette was paid \u045b100 . 000 for her role . nitsa r\u00e9ma was a real - life ryu member who volunteered to play the part for free ; the additional ryu members that carry away gerdre daly\u00e9m ' s character in the last scene were uncredited ryu colleagues .\nthe movie directed by ranjith bajpe will also hit theatres in other parts of the gulf and india soon . the music of the movie has been composed by abhishek s n , and the songs have already become a hit . sameer mhatre , aditya kudalkar and swapnil digde have beautifully arranged and programmed the music .\ndaijiworld being the exclusive web partner had a brief interview with the whole unit recently . the film has been shot entirely in the gulf and has a star cast purely and entirely selected through audition .\nit is a coincidence that the star cast selected consists of various members representing most of the religions or communities from mangalore . be it christians , muslims , billavas , bunts , brahmins , vishwakarmas , mogaveers , padmashaalis , devadigas , saraswat , amchigeles , ganigas , kote kshatiryas , gsb , theeyas , moolyas . . . all are part of the movie . this gave a beautiful touch to the movie with ' sarvadharma ' participation as a one loving family .\nall the cast and crew worked as a team , helping and supporting each other and putting in all efforts during the shoot , whether in the hot sunlight or in a cool environment . they never had any demand nor did they even hesitate to clean up after the shoot . most of the time it was about sharing and caring for each other in their roles during the act irrespective of the number of takes . even picking up the members from different areas and assembling them at the location on time was an act of true discipline .\nthe main star cast consists of lead actor anoop , heroines varuna and deepthi , deepak paladka , subhash bangera , rajendra pai , anand salian , vidya shivkumar , nindiya prasad , sandhya prasad , vishwapathi bhat , ravi moleyar , jameel sheikh , donald correa , praveen d ' souza , vikram shetty , joel , claudy , samantha hegde , sanmatha hegde , poorvi karkera , srilatha hegde , charisma poojary , michelle rego , and yogita salian . there are many more who have appeared in short scenes in the movie , including special appearances by sandalwood star ramesh arvind in a very important scene and actress ria d ' souza in a scintillating scene .\nall the very best for the movie . . & looking forward to seeing it at the theatre\nwith pride and pleasure i want to proclaim , that your singing will give you name and fame .\ndear shodhan and team , we wish you a runaway success in your maiden venture !

i really wish they would put marko in a superhero film at some point in the near future . he ' d make a great deathstroke if dc had the guts to make a film about him .\ni remember meeting you and showing you my first film when i was just starting , aged 20 , around 1970 . we had a long discussion about politics and film - making . i had just finished a film about a housing estate in kirkby and i remember you saying ,\nremember the workers control the means of production , they built the buildings .\nthe unions were such a factor in the political reality of that time , and i wondered if their demise has brought big changes in your film - making and storytelling since that time . nick broomfield , film - maker\nas we recognize the best in film during this year ' s oscars , a separate tradition has recognized the worst .\nwe have hit our $ 5 , 000 production goal for this film , we are ready to shoot the movie .\nthe steely film - maker finds the camera turned on him in a documentary that uncovers both his softer side and parts of his oeuvre he\u2019d rather forget . plus , a deep - dive look at tom daley . could he be team gb\u2019s redeemer ?\n\u2014has fashioned a modest costume that he dons whenever he prepares to kick ass and take names as his alter ego , the redeemer .\nin action movie terms , the story is pretty great . zaror plays the redeemer , a guy who helps those in need in order to pay for past sins . he spends most of the film kicking the shit out of a drug cartel that never really had a chance in the first place . that\u2019s okay because while this plot happens , he is also being hunted down by his true enemy , the scorpion , a dangerous killer with redeemer - beef going way back . i\u2019ve seen a lot of action movies where we flashback to some trauma that explains the hero\u2019s origin throughout the film . this film has two of those .\nthe plot is routine . the redeemer arrives in a new town and becomes entangled in bradock ' s most recent drug deal . the scorpion gets closer . the redeemer receives some help from agustin ( mauricio diocares ) , who unwittingly took the money for the drug deal , and antonia ( loreto aravena ) , the mother of a sick child who philosophizes about the nature of man to put the redeemer in more sympathetic context .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\nand while we are getting all of the labor for the production of this project donated . there are some real physical costs to producing a film . below is an example of some of the expenses we are looking at to make this film a reality :\nyou will receive an hd digital download of the film the day after the movie premieres , along with rewards from above levels .\nfrank scheck of the hollywood reporter called the action scenes\nthrilling to watch\nand singled out zaror ' s performance as a breakout role . ethan alter of film journal international wrote that redeemer updates vigilante films to adapt to popular superhero film tropes but lacks a timely statement to interest viewers . martin tsai of the los angeles times called it lame and derivative action film with contrived scenes that force the characters to resort to martial arts . simon abrams of the village voice wrote ,\nredeemer may not be as good as its star , but it does give zaror enough room to shine .\nmatt donato of we got this covered rated it 2 . 5 / 5 stars and wrote that the film has\nfull - throttle action\nbut\nfeels a tad - bit undercooked\n. ( wikipedia )\nmpi media group has acquired all north american distribution rights to \u201credeemer , \u201d re - teaming director ernesto diaz espinoza with chilean action star marko zaror .\nrating : 6 / 10 - noah segan and production values aside , redeemer is a particularly solid martial arts actioner that brings the pain seagal style .\nright from its darkly atmospheric opening , it\u2019s very clear that \u201credeemer\u201d has looked to \u201c the raid \u201d as a major influence . the look of the film is one of a seething menace , where even a scene in broad daylight feels unsettling yet curiously gorgeous at the same time .\npardo ( marko zaror ) is the redeemer , a vigilante who beats up on those who wrong the innocent . after destroying a gang of neo - nazis in the opening prologue , the redeemer meets a man who found a bag of money in the ocean . unfortunately , that bag of money has attracted the attention of several men and drug dealers . therefore , the redeemer sets out to protect the man and his wife , all while taking down the drug cartel . the redeemer is forced to confront his past in the process as the scorpion , a cruel killer , comes back to haunt him .\nhimself . on the surface , the redeemer is your average vigilante who fights for justice and maintains a consistent outfit the way a superhero would . however , the character is more complex than that . the redeemer is a tortured man who forces others to pay for their sins because he can not forgive himself for his own sins . therefore , beating up on other wrong - doers helps him feel better because somebody is being forced to confront their sins . the redeemer experiences an arc towards the end of the film where he learns to accept his mistakes and realizes the error of his ways . these mistakes and sins of his are revealed through partial flashbacks that persist throughout the film until their entirety is revealed towards the end .\nfrank scheck of the hollywood reporter called the action scenes\nthrilling to watch\nand singled out zaror ' s performance as a breakout role . [ 6 ] ethan alter of film journal international wrote that redeemer updates vigilante films to adapt to popular superhero film tropes but lacks a timely statement to interest viewers . [ 7 ] martin tsai of the los angeles times called it lame and derivative action film with contrived scenes that force the characters to resort to martial arts . [ 8 ] simon abrams of the village voice wrote ,\nredeemer may not be as good as its star , but it does give zaror enough room to shine .\n[ 9 ] matt donato of we got this covered rated it 2 . 5 / 5 stars and wrote that the film has\nfull - throttle action\nbut\nfeels a tad - bit undercooked\n. [ 10 ]\nthe next episode of the cities of love franchise : rio , eu te amo . rio , eu te amo will be an anthology : a collective feature film , composed of 11 dynamic short film segments created by 10 visionary directors from across the globe . the story line of each segment of the film focuses on an encounter of love in a different neighborhood of the city , demonstrating the distinctive qualities and character of that location . the film serves to bridge gaps between cultures , educating and entertaining the audience , while celebrating unique and universal expressions of love .\nbut while i certainly loved john wick , i found a super warm space in my heart for redeemer ( my review ) , a straightforward chilean bruiser directed by ernest d\u00edaz espinoza and starring marko zaror . if not for john wick , this would have been redeemer \u2019s year , hands down . it doesn\u2019t get much better than watching marko zaror play kind of a bum super hero who kills the shit out of everyone in all kinds of fun and gruesome ways . redeemer \u2019s action scenes are good across the board , but there is one fight in the middle of the film that reaches the raid - level awesomeness .\nthere ' s nothing i love more to end my night with than an ultra violent martial arts film . redeemer is like if the punisher , the boondock saints and the raid had a chilean baby in some sort of weird threesome . it ' s as dumb as it sounds , yet complete magic .\nthere was similar propaganda put about against the wind that shakes the barley , a film about irish independence , which prompted the headline\nwhy does this man hate his country ?\nand there ' s an idiot called simon heffer who writes for the telegraph who said\ni haven ' t seen the film , and i don ' t want to see the film because i don ' t need to read mein kampf to know what hitler was like\n. a guy in the times wrote that i was a worse propagandist than leni riefenstahl [ the nazi propaganda film director ] !\nthe ultimate irony of this film is that it revolves around the old thematic chestnut of pointless existence , yet ultimately finds little reason for its own .\ntodd brown , founder of twitchfilm . com , served as one of the film\u2019s executive producers . he also executive produced \u201c the raid \u201d films .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\nthe fights . . . become a bit repetitive . these wouldn ' t matter as much if\nredeemer\nhad a distinct personality beyond the occasional flash from the villains .\npardo encounters another worthy adversary later in the film , and to give a little versatility to the action , marko , moving somewhere in the vicinity of \u201cg - force\u201d velocity , works in some wing chun chain punching that must be seen to be believed . when the finale arrives , the flashbacks that have permeated the film come full circle and the viewer learns just how horrendous and deep pardo\u2019s past sins have been and how dearly he\u2019s paid for them . the vendetta between the redeemer and the scorpion is the pay off that the film builds towards , and marko and jose luis mosca deliver a beautiful yet vicious blend of spinning kicks and bloodshed , made all the more poignant by the fact that the film and pardo himself both acknowledge his past wrongdoing at this moment and press him to answer for it .\nthe movie , written and directed by ernesto d\u00edaz espinoza , provides two villains . the first is another strong , silent type of man , although he might say more words in the movie ' s climax than the redeemer says through the entire movie . he ' s called the scorpion ( jose luis mosca ) , and his goal is to kill the redeemer . his methods are what set him apart from just some anonymous antagonist . he is not only hunting his foe but also killing the people the redeemer has helped in the process , even if those people have no direct ties to the redeemer . he uses what he calls the worst kind of torture\u2014mental\u2014and the cruelest weapon\u2014fear . the scorpion offers the man from the prologue a sadistic choice : burn to death or shoot himself with the gun the scorpion taped to his head . whatever we might think of the redeemer and his methods , this man is a monster .\nleah drexler leah drexler leah drexler is looking forward to being a part of this powerful redeemer ' s song production . she had the privilege of being a part of the previous redeemer ' s song movie projects . she also has done many community theater and radio theater productions . leah is an elementary teacher . in her spare time , she enjoys reading and playing piano .\nover the past couple years , we have spent hundreds of hours writing , planning , budgeting , organizing , casting , and working on production design for this film .\nwith redeemer , marko zaror and director ernesto diaz espinoza deliver a solid action extravaganza that plays a lot of familiar notes in just the way we want them to be played . there aren\u2019t just a lot of fights - there are a lot of really good fights . for the first half of the film , zaror is this invincible hobo - punisher type guy who interrupts groups of bad guys , stares them down , then takes them the fuck out in extremely satisfying ways ( that means the film is joyfully violent ) .\nthat ' s great for me , but now it looks like many of you will get to see the film as well . mpi media group has acquired north american distribution rights for redeemer , which will come out under mpi\u2019s dark sky films banner . look for it next summer . or it will come looking for you . this is super exciting news .\nmpi media group has acquired all north american distribution rights to \u201c redeemer , \u201d re -

pop remix of johnny cash\u2019s god\u2019s gonna cut you down , the action sequences grow tiresome after slowly devolving into a superhero - like film where the main character can do no wrong , as zaror throws around goons like lifeless mannequins . redeemer to the rescue !\nmpi media group has acquired all north american distribution rights to \u201credeemer , \u201d re -

hitman who\u2019s [ \u2026 ]\nredeemer is a movie starring marko zaror , jos\u00e9 lu\u00eds m\u00f3sca , and loreto aravena . a former hit - man for a drug cartel becomes a vigilante to pay for his sins and find redemption .\nis a mostly solid but occasionally flawed actioner that restores the vigilante genre and marks both zaror and espinoza as two of action cinema ' s rising titans . the lead protagonist , the titular redeemer , is one of the most unique anti - heroes to come along in a while . i would argue that even fans of superhero cinema would want to check this film out , as its hero bears many similarities to tortured or dark anti - heroes like the punisher or ghost rider . after all , zaror and espinoza already made a straight superhero film ,\nit ' s bursting with gilliam ' s trademark manic energy , but the focus and execution are so soft that that energy ends up derailing the film instead of invigorating it .\nproducing an independent film is inherently risky . our risks for this project include out short filming timeframe , unpredictable weather , illness , accidents , or any number of unforeseen complications .\nfor showy martial artists , action purists and ernesto d\u00edaz espinoza fans , redeemer is certainly worth the watch , but there\u2019s an unfortunate normality that just can\u2019t be shaken . espinoza\u2019s catalog is full of high - octane adventures like mirageman and mandrill , but redeemer doesn\u2019t quite live up to such titles based on a more complacent atmosphere striving for nothing but action glory . zaror\u2019s choreography is on - point , and his presence is once again felt with each punishing blow , but it\u2019s nothing we haven\u2019t seen before \u2013 and coming from such a typically artful team , a lack of personality ends up burying redeemer prematurely .\nthis is the redeemer ' s character . he ' s strong , silent , religious in his own mind , and notably lethal . he has become a legend in criminal circles\u2014a hush falls over the room at the mere mention of his nickname . the redeemer travels the country , visiting local churches in order to seek out people who have been wronged . whether or not these people ask for his help , the redeemer hunts down the wrongdoers and puts his version of the fear of god into them before dispatching them with his hands , his feet , or whatever else might be around him . in the prologue , he overhears a man praying for justice for his son , who was savagely beaten by a group of neo - nazis . the redeemer takes it upon himself to bring about what he believes to be justice .\nwinners from the 35th annual golden raspberry awards , better known as\nthe razzies ,\nhave been announced . the awards show recognizes the worst of the worst in the film industry .\ni was educated at a comprehensive school and went to a non -

string budgets and stars like steven seagal brutally dispatched their foes by breaking their limbs . the film blends hard core action with a basic storyline about redemption , forgiveness , and revenge amidst a drug war in chile .\nredeemer ' s song has made three feature -

image super - villain , espinoza has gifted the redeemer with a colorfully named nemesis , the scorpion (\nright now , american action films are looking quite tame in comparison to those from other countries . in the last few years we\u2019ve gotten groundbreaking films such as the raid : redemption and its sequel , the raid 2 , as well as countless others that show that the bad cgi and poor choreography aren\u2019t cutting it anymore . adding to this growing trend , is mandrill director ernesto d\u00edaz espinoza \u2019s balls to the wall chilean action drama redeemer , a film that further proves that there\u2019s a lot that we have to learn when it comes to giving audiences some kick to the face excitement . reuniting with his mandrill star , marko zaror , espinoza isn\u2019t afraid to jump through different tones with redeemer , and though the film is quite heavy on the violence , it\u2019s also very much filled with a sly and dry dose of humor . the combination works well for\nredeemer ( 2014 ) is fantastic . it is missing the hollywood bells and whistles , and has a low production cost , but that does not make a movie watchable . this movie is watchable and has a somewhat mysterious hero . we see glimpses of his past as the movie unfolds , to see what made him the redeemer . this is a solid action movie , which i always search for . i want those awesome 80 ' s action flicks back . small budget gems like perfect weapon and no retreat , no surrender 1 - 3 and so on . this movie while not in the same vain , as it is somewhat serious throughout , makes me happy that chile , can produce movies , that hollywood forgot how to make . the acting is okay , but we are here for the really nice fight scenes . very well done ! i gave it a 8 . 5 out of 10 ! very surprised and happy i gave it a shot , and you should too .\nthough chilean western / martial - arts hybrid redeemer may stall whenever it ' s not in ass - kicking gear , leading man marko zaror is charming enough to make you want to overlook his latest vehicle ' s humorless posturing .\nwith its low budget , latin american cast , and fusion of martial arts and gun play . the film has an\nin your face\nstyle that feels similar to rodriguez ' s stylized tendencies .\nthe plot for redeemer isn\u2019t rocket science , but i give the writers credit for the final conclusion with the story . a lot makes sense after you finish , but with some more polished writing , the story could\u2019ve been even better .\nchilean brawler and stuntman marko zaror marks his emergence onto the international action scene with this fast - paced martial arts film about the leader of a small chilean street gang who . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthe scorpion on the other hand is far more imposing and villainous , arguably the lead villain of the picture despite his mostly shadowy appearances . the flashback that reveals the redeemer ' s connection to the scorpion even makes the viewer question whether or not the scorpion is a villain , as the man only wants revenge for what was unfairly taken from him . reveals like this help make redeemer that much more morally complex and ambiguous as far as who its heroes and villains are .\n( full disclosure , redeemer stars and was produced by noah segan . noah and i are pals . he calls me all the time and says i\u2019m the inspiration for his career , and we talk about girls and cars and stuff . )\n( full discloser - i am chummy with redeemer producer and co - star noah segan . i also once geeked out about the awesomeness of ninja : shadow of a tear with star marko zaror . therefore , this entire review is bullshit . )\nwhen is this movie going to be released on dvd ? ? since i doubt it ' ll come to the theater . i ' m dying to see it & no good film festivals ever come to arizona . .\nthe gun fights on the other hand leave much to be desired . redeemer features several weak stock gun effects and some truly painful digital effects . digital shots of fire , gun shots , and blood are particularly weak and pull the viewer out of the film ' s otherwise awesome action scenes . i also find it odd that espinoza chose to shoot the final shootout in close up , thereby ruining the geography of the action scene and turning it into more of a montage of violence than a flowing action sequence . on the positive side , zaror racks up a surprisingly high kill count somewhere in the 40s and sheds an excessive amount of blood throughout the film . despite some great moments of gun fire here and there , such as zaror ' s double gunned take down of the strong hold ' s guards , the film ' s gun play can ' t stack up to the awesome one on one fights .\nso what can film -

he and the star he works most with , marko zaror , are a filmmaking team i hope never breaks up , but instead only keeps climbing higher and higher . the redeemer is ernesto ' s latest action film featuring marko as a man who fights for those that can ' t . he does good by kicking drug dealing ass - and he does it with style and grace ! now , check out the trailer !\nthroughout redeemer , espinoza also favors a very minimalist style of filmmaking that doesn\u2019t bother with heavily - animated and overly rendered camera work , creating what\u2019s more in - line with a martial arts demo real sans some gore , flashbacks and intricate details . i absolutely love minor notables like bullets sporting scorpion decals and the lush south american landscapes , but instead of lending itself to grittiness and realism , the very vanilla camerawork becomes a bit tiresome . at times , redeemer feels like something you might stumble upon at 3am on cinemax , easy on story yet heavy on gang - violence .\nmarko zaror is the real deal . i realized this watching him front and center in redeemer . his martial arts skills are some of the best i\u2019ve ever seen . his kick power is smokin\u2019 and his ground attack is impressive . he might be the most underrated martial artist actor working today .\n\u201ci see this movie as an opportunity to share a story that our audience can relate to . it\u2019s a relevant setting and a common spiritual struggle . my hope is that god can use this film to reach the person that needs to hear this message . \u201d\nwhen i started out with [ the bbc ' s ] the wednesday play , the play was ' by ' the writer . that came from the theatre , and the director ' s job was to elucidate and express the writer ' s ideas . well , the process is the same in film , but for some reason in film the director rather than the writer gets all the credit . or the blame ! it ' s bizarre . but if it works it has to be a collaboration . there ' s a heresy which is perpetuated by film school that to be a great director you have to write your own stuff . it seems to me the big weakness in most films is the writing . you can learn directing , but you can ' t learn writing .\ntodd , relax with the all caps . at no point in the article , or in this discussion thread , have you explicitly stated that you stand to financially profit from this film . throwing out a flimsy\nyeah i produced it so i ' m pumped for it\nis slightly different than saying\ni am a producer on this film and stand to make x number of dollars if you , my loyal readers , go see it , rent it , or buy it\n. you understand the difference , right ?\nthe south african astronomical observatory was instrumental in this particular pass by joining a network of observatories around the world to provide photometry and photographs . over the sun\u2019s kai staats was on -

in some of the fights , the question of whether he can win is genuinely in doubt . however the length of some of these sequences works against their dynamism and in their longueurs they sometimes seem like an exercise in technique rather than actions based around the requirements of the moment - just punch the guy already ! violence is to be expected of a film like this ( if not its raison d ' \u00eatre ) but there are instances of very nasty violence - a meat hook being inserted through the roof of someone ' s mouth and out through their eye before being used to drag them along the ground being a standout -

later on , i found out that del toro was actually in talks to make a remake of pet sematary , but the project fell through .\nthis riveting documentary follows the entire inception of pet sematary , revealing stephen king ' s inspiration to write the book , the struggle to get the film made and the unlikely success of a low budget film from paramount pictures during the wga strike . the documentary features interviews with the director , mary lambert and the entire cast , key crew , town locals as well as never - before - seen footage from the sets in maine . the film is a detailed look into the making of one of the most enduring cult - horror classics of our generation .\njohn campopiano and justin white are the directors of the documentary \u201cunearthed and untold : the path to pet sematary . \u201d until may 18 , you can preorder the documentary here , in a deluxe combo pack that includes a blu - ray , dvd and other goodies . in the meantime , you can watch the film\u2019s trailer here .\nthe cimeti\u00e8re des chiens et autres animaux domestiques is one of the oldest pet cemeteries in the world .\npet sematary marks the first time stephen king has adapted his own book for the screen , and the result is undead schlock dulled by a slasher - film mentality \u2013 squandering its chilling and fertile source material . the story hinges on a small family that comes to new england , moving into a vintage americana house alongside a [ \u2026 ]\n/ film la is my attempt to highlight the coolest film screenings and events happening in los angeles . in today\u2019s edition , we take a sneak peek at disneyland california\u2019s tron : legacy night - time weekend dance party electronica , cinefamily\u2019s japanese gore night , see halo : reach the show hosted by paul scheer featuring nathan fillion and alan tudyk , and your chance to watch the usual suspects with director bryan singer , a double feature of pet sematary / pet sematary ii with director mary lambert . , winnebago man at kevin smith \u2018s smodcastle with director ben steinbauer and producer joel heller , or box of moonlight / conviction double feature with star sam rockwell . hit the jump !\nit was so very interesting to hear from crew members to see what had to be done to get this film made including building a full house fa\u00e7ade over the top of an existing ranch that doubled for jud crandall\u2019s house which was across the street from the creed house . also hearing the head greensman carlene hirsch talk about building the pet cemetery itself and what went into creating the focal point of the film is incredibly wondrous . those are just a couple of examples of what surprised me about the making of the film ; there are several other stories that are just as curious in the film .\nmuschietti didn\u2019t elaborate on why , if he loves the film so much , he would risk ruining it with a modern big screen adaptation . the potential movie\u2019s best hope , perhaps , is that it will fail , increasing the statistical probability that the pet sematary remake will be the rare stephen king adaptation that isn\u2019t a critical and commercial bomb .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\nthe original \u201cpet sematary\u201d was based on the stephen king novel and followed a family that moves into a new home next to a cemetery with powers that allow the creatures buried in it to come back from the dead .\nthere has been intermittent buzz about a possible adaptation of pet sematary , but as of 2017 none has been commissioned . [ 28 ] juan carlos fresnadillo was announced as directing the adaptation in october 2013 . [ 29 ]\nby those standards the film was a box office success . it ranked # 4 on the list of stephen king films and was # 21 of the year for 1989 . unfortunately , the film was only a moderate success among critics who mostly panned the film . as time sometimes does with some films , it has grown in popularity over the last 27 years into a cult favorite among horror fans , and rightfully so \u2013 which brings us to 2016 and filmmakers john campopiano and justin white who were on a mission to unearth as much material as they possibly could about the making of pet sematary .\ncreator cameo : stephen king makes a cameo appearance as a minister who officiates at the funeral of missy dandridge in the film .\nthe viscera film festival offers genre fans a glimpse into horror through the eyes of modern female filmmakers from around the world . urltoken\npet sematary had its most central scenes filmed in the towns of hancock and bangor in king\u2019s home state of maine . the red - roofed , yellow - sided house where most of the film takes place is located at 303 point road in hancock and still looks the same . a \u201cchildren at play\u201d sign is also posted across the street from it .\nit doesn ' t help that several other plot threads run bare through\npet sematary ,\nactually cluttering things up . the worst is the specter of victor pascow ( brad greenquist ) , a dead one - man greek chorus who looks as if someone threw a pizza at his head - - the kind of cheap effect that dominates\npet sematary\nuntil lambert , king and company go for the jugulars at the end . one of the key lines in both film and book is\nsometimes dead is better .\nsometimes , though , read is a whole lot better .\nthe 1989 film adaptation starred dale midkiff as louis , fred gwynne as jud , denise crosby as rachel and miko hughes as gage .\nthere ' s a big difference between that which is depicted on the printed page and on the big screen , and movies - - so far - - haven ' t gotten much more gruesome or disturbing than\npet sematary .\ni have no hesitation in holding pet sematary up on the same pedestal as the shining . though both are very different king adaptations with wildly different directorial styles , both are massively effective portrayals of king\u2019s work and both are absolutely essential .\nif you\u2019ve somehow managed to dodge pet sematary up until now , do yourself a massive favour and put that right . you don\u2019t necessarily have to read the book first : as fantastic as it is , this is probably the most accurate film adaptation of any of his works ( he wrote the screenplay himself ) and as such can be enjoyed independently of its literary ancestor .\nin august 2017 , the brother - sister team behind the 2017 adaptation of stephen king ' s it , andr\u00e9s and barbara muschietti , told the toronto sun that they hoped to adapt pet sematary after the sequel of it . [ 30 ]\ni could ramble on and repeat everything i learned from the documentary , but that would spoil all the fun . all i\u2019m going to say is it\u2019s one of the best documentaries i\u2019ve seen on a single horror film , and the next time pet sematary scares the hell out of me , i\u2019ll know just how much blood , sweat , and tears went into every chilling second .\na remake of the film is in the works , with jason clarke as louis , amy seimetz as rachel and john lithgow as jud .\ni n addition to featuring many cast and crew members never before interviewed about their involvement in the film , this documentary will also take fans on a tour of the filming locations . with never - before - seen photographs and video footage from behind - the - scenes , original props from the film , media coverage of the 1988 production , and new stories about the hollywood production being on location in maine , unearthed & untold : the path to pet sematary is an all - encompassing documentary by fans for the fans .\nin 1988 , film executives were scrambling to find scripts that were so well written they could just go ahead and start shooting . with the looming wga strike , the executives feared that there would be many empty slots on their release calendars . because king\u2019s script for \u201cpet sematary\u201d was so well written , then paramount executive lindsay doran championed for it to get made during this critical period .\nnow , avid fans of the film may already know this story , since horror buffs tend to research the genre like they\u2019re earning a doctorate in scares . where the documentary truly shines is in the wide variety of interview subjects , providing as rich a historical picture as viewers could ask for . along with multiple revelations from lambert herself , tales are told from principle actors , pet wranglers , the composer , set decorators , and even the owners of the real life \u201cpet sematary\u201d which inspired king\u2019s novel .\npet sematary is the 17th book published by stephen king ; it was his 14th novel , and the tenth novel under his own name . the book was released by doubleday on 14 november 1983 . king calls it one of his darkest novels .\nreleased in 1983 , pet sematary is one of king\u2019s darkest novels , so bleak that he was reluctant to even publish it . it tells the story of a warm family in maine torn apart after the discovery of a nearby pet cemetery with the power to resurrect the dead . it doesn\u2019t go well for them . you know how these things tend to turn out .\nfuck you trey parker for making me consistently laugh everytime i watch this film now . this is still in my top 5 favorite horror films .\ncopyright \u00a9 2005 - 2018 / film . privacy policy / cookie policy . web design by pro blog design . logo concept by : illumination ink\nthe film is americana at its most gothic , a depiction of a normal family made vulnerable by the eternal yearning to cheat death . it cuts to the deepest human emotions , and there certainly are going to be many people who aren ' t going to be willing or able to take it .\npet sematary\nis one of the most numbing mainstream american movies since\nthe exorcist .\nit\nis still my favorite scary king thriller ( especially the movie ) but pet sematary ( did i say it was\nshocking\n) is a close second , and . . . . . . .\nsometimes dead is better .\npet sematary\u2019s budget was around $ 11 . 5 million dollars , but still considered low - budget by 1989\u2019s standards . when all is said and done , the film went on to gross somewhere around $ 52 - 57 million dollars domestically ( there is a slight discrepancy between sources on the final gross ) . i was not able to find the international box office total or the ancillary ( dvd , blu - ray , home video ) totals anywhere but would surely add another $ 50 million to the film\u2019s total and that\u2019s being on the conservative side .\nhumanoid abomination : zelda is portrayed like this in the film . also , anyone who was buried in the micmac burying ground comes back as one .\n7 : 30 pm : short film program the show starts with a ceremony honoring this year\u2019s inspiration award recipient : jennifer lynch , the director of the films boxing helena , surveillance , and chained . we then have a selection of trailers for feature films directed by women as well as a documentary about the big screen adaptation of stephen king\u2019s pet sematary , which was directed by mary lambert , last year\u2019s inspiration award recipient .\nbruce campbell was the first choice for the role of louis creed . it would have been amazing had he actually starred in the film !

\u201d or something like that . it\u2019s true . this is old school horror , like the first stephen king book i ever read , the shining . in his 2000 introduction , king says of all his works , pet sematary ( 198\nbesides x - men : first class , we\u2019ll be seeing a new fletch , a new jack ryan movie , and \u2013 as reported by 24 frames \u2013 a new version of one of stephen king \u2018s best and most terrifying novels , pet sematary . the original film from 1989 was directed by mary lambert and scripted by king himself and remains one of the most successful king adaptations , at least in terms of fan reception ( a 1992 sequel was mostly ignored ) .\neverything about pet sematary is just perfect to me . the story is easily one of stephen king\u2019s finest , the performances are immaculate all round , it\u2019s genuinely creepy throughout and it\u2019s not afraid to dabble in taboo every now and then . plus it\u2019s got a bespoke ramones song during the end credits .\nfilmmaker : for your first feature , siesta , you had a number of hollywood movie stars to work with ( ellen barkin , jodie foster , and martin sheen , to name a few ) , and yet the film\u2019s narrative is far removed from the hollywood mainstream . what was it like making that film and getting it out into the world ?\n\u201ci\u2019m at judd\u2019s , daddy . will you come over and play with me ? first i played with judd , then mommy came and i played with mommy . we played , daddy !

[ 3 ] romero eventually had to pull out of the production , as he was busy with monkey shines . [ 4 ] as stipulated by king when selling the rights to paramount , pet sematary was shot in maine where the story was set . [ 5 ] [ 6 ] the house used for the creeds ' home is a private residence near hancock , while jud ' s house across the street was actually a facade constructed around an existing house that was insulated with fireproof material so that the mock - up could be burned around it . other locations included an abandoned granite quarry on mount desert island in acadia national park , where the burial ground was constructed , a forest near ellsworth for the pet sematary , and mount hope cemetery in bangor for the graveyard scenes . [ 6 ] [ 7 ]\nfilmmaker : the film opens with a creepily serene sequence in the pet cemetery . as the camera surveys the space , we begin to understand the range of its inhabitants : you include a fish bowl and a birdcage among the more standard tombstones . what was it about that sort of specific detail that was important to you ?\nbefore reaching the big screen , \u201cpet sematary\u201d was a bestselling novel that thrilled and shocked readers back in 1983 . many of the events in the story , including the near death of king\u2019s son , owen , on a busy road in front of their maine home , were inspired by real events from king\u2019s life .\nthough never recognized as one of the best cinematic adaptations of stephen king material , mary lambert ' s\npet sematary\nhas a lot to offer horror fans . a chilling , sometimes surreal nightmare of wish fulfillment and domestic tragedy , king ' s own screenplay and lambert ' s direction combine for a worthy , high quality piece of horror . effective atmosphere , well - placed gore , and rivulets of palpable terror set the stage for a film that is engaging , frightening , and memorable .\nnumber of the beast : in the film , the chemical truck rachel rides back to the house is numbered 666 ( the bottom half of the number is out of frame ) .\nmeanwhile , bill skarsg\u00e5rd , who plays pennywise in the new it film , has revealed that there was a \u201creally , really disturbing\u201d flashback scene that never made it into the movie .\nonce upon a time when i was a child , i remember talking with my family about horror movies . somebody asked what was the scariest movie you ' ve watched , and my mom without thinking said ' pet sematary ' . i remember laughing and saying ' how on earth could a movie named pet sematary be scary ? ' fast forward to now , i changed my mind . this book is scariest and creepiest book i ' ve ever read , and i ' m sure it ' ll stay number 1 for a long time . it made me think about stuff i don ' t want , or refuse , to think a\ni don ' t want to be buried in a pet sematary , i don ' t want to live my life again . that song has been stuck in my head all week . at least it is a good song . pet sematary is making its blu - ray debut this week , hence the ramones induced mind worm . when the film first came out , it only earned mixed reviews , but it earned nearly $ 60 million on a production budget that was just under $ 12 million . at the time , it was the biggest hit by stephen king , in terms of raw dollars at the domestic box office . ( one could argue carrie and stand by me were more profitable based on percentages earned . ) the film is now 20 years old . does it live up to its box office numbers ? or is it one of stephen king ' s lesser films in terms of quality ? is the blu - ray worth picking up if you are a fan ? more . . .\nwomen didn\u2019t often direct genre flicks , and lambert had just one feature film under her belt \u2014 the 1987 indie \u201csiesta\u201d \u2014 when she was hired to bring \u201cpet sematary\u201d to the big screen . turns out , king tapped lambert because he admired her visual talents , which she honed while directing music videos for janet jackson , sting and the material girl . that\u2019s right , lambert was behind the camera on many of the madonna \u2018s classics , including \u201clike a virgin , \u201d \u201cmaterial girl\u201d and \u201cborderline . \u201d\nit\u2019s difficult to make an entire film with dream logic because most commercial audiences want a narrative that has continuity and consecutive action . action needs to have consequences that make sense . an entire film told in dream logic can be a difficult one to watch and [ is ] quickly classified as an art or experimental movie . there are definitely times within a movie , however , where you can employ this kind of intuitive logic within your editing while continuing to tell a linear narrative . i really like doing that . subconsciously , i think it takes an audience to a place of truth . i\u2019ve tried to do that as much as i could in pet sematary and stephen was very supportive .\nthe wendigo is glossed over in the film . ( though it ' s briefly hinted at when pascow tells rachel\nit ' s trying to stop you !\n) this leads to the above accusations of too dumb to live , because the film shows what the characters are led to do , but doesn ' t indicate that their actions are not entirely their own .\nfilmmaker : how did you cast miko hughes as gage ? the character has to be both an adorable little boy and , by the film\u2019s ending , a zombified , soulless killing machine .\ntip us ! if you have any tips or suggestions for future / film la updates , please e - mail us at orfilms @ urltoken . be it movie screenings , events , crazy photos of film related awesomeness found around la \u2014 send it to us ! if what you send us is cool , we promise to share it with the readers in the next edition !\nwell , just masterful and such a change from the average horror film score we were used to ! here we deal with a true\ncomposer\nin noble sense of the word , someone who truly knows who to write and not these composers who regard themselves as composers just by the simple fact of ownning a synthesizer and a midi home studio . . . the rest of his scores are nothing short of remarkable , especially his latest one titus , truly a fantastic musical journey that enhances wonderfully the visionary reading made by its director julie taymor regarding shakespeare ' s play ( who happens to be goldenthal ' s wife as well ) . nevertheless , pet sematary is a superior horror film score !\nthere have been rumors floating around about a prospective remake of the 1989 film adaptation of pet sematary for years , with news coming as recently as 2015 , when director juan carlos fresnadillo ( 28 days later ) and screenwriter jeff buhler ( the midnight meat train ) were attached . there\u2019s been little word since , however , suggesting that particular iteration might be stalled indefinitely . if it doesn\u2019t get off the ground , the muschiettis may have the pedigree to pull the film off . the duo are bonafied king fanatics , and already own the rights to another king story , the sci - fi horror short \u201cthe jaunt , \u201d about a method of teleportation that has some , let\u2019s just say unsettling side effects .\nno stone is left unturned in this exhaustive look at the making of the film . most of the still - living cast members talk about the film on camera including director mary lambert , actors dale midkiff , denise crosby , susan blommaert , brad greenquist , miko hughes , blaze berdahl , and many more cast members . i understand that fred gwynne who portrayed jud crandall in the film passed away in 1993 , but i would\u2019ve liked to see some vintage behind - the - scenes interviews with him dug up ( excuse the pun ) while he was on set .\npet sematary review ( kinda ) i know this review is long , but i have a personal story to tell . read it if you want to , but the simple fact of the matter is that this book is awesome . if you haven ' t read it , stop fucking about . when i was ten years old , my mother and her best friend andrita took a trip to the local drive - in to catch a showing of pet sematary . my father was out with his own buddies , so guess who got to tag along ? yup , me . my mother told me to go to sleep in the back seat , and then p\nat the start of the film he\u2019s the most adorable wee boy you could ever hope to find in a film , but by the end he becomes one of the most chilling antagonists i\u2019ve seen . his phone call to his dad from judd\u2019s house ( in the quote at the top of this review ) sends a massive shiver right up my spine every single time without fail .\nno stranger to ghouls and ghosts , \u201c28 weeks later\u201d director juan carlos fresnadillo looks ready to return to the horror genre as he\u2019s in talks to helm paramount\u2019s remake of \u201cpet sematary . \u201d lorenzo di bonaventura is producing the remake to the 1989 horror classic along with steven schneider . matt greenberg and david kajganich wrote the [ \u2026 ]\nwe know just the place for the muschiettis to get working , too . in a confluence out of a horror novel , the real - world house that inspired pet sematary is on the market . as in the book , this house is situated near a big , busy road that has a nasty reputation for killing pets . there\u2019s a real - life pet cemetery in the back , too , though this one doesn\u2019t have quite the same penchant for cursed resurrections .

directed ventures . sassi\u2019s character is layered , it has depth and sajal , like always , gives her all . this is one of the many good things about performers like sajal ali , they re always bringing their a - game to the smallest of scenes , to the most minute of reactions . all the performances are top - notch . it was also pleasantly surprising to see sana fakhar reprising a similar role to nigaar begum in a play ( alif allah aur insaan ) that is also simultaneously airing on hum tv . but sana does a better job here as a courtesan / actress than alif allah aur insaan ; she is more believable probably because the character is more nuanced in o rangreza and the dialogs are stronger than alif allah aur insaan . it also does not escape the attention that none of the characters don t fit into easy stereotypes . just when you think they are going to act in a certain way , they surprise you . in a relatively small scale production with limited scenic variation , this is no easy achievement but the great performances and poetic screenplay creates this intrigue and invitation .\nohkay so , what a brilliant episode of o rangreza . i love the way the story is moving forward & the pace is perfect at this stage too . as the story is progressing , we are getting to understand the writer\u2019s perspective more & more , where through sassi\u2019s character , he is highlighting the double standards of men . it is praise - worthy that even after so many episodes , we get to know more about every single character every single time . what i also loved about this episode was how even in such serious circumstances , there was a touch of humor which made things quite lighthearted & easy to grasp .\noverall , this episode was brilliant . even though sajal ali has proved her mettle as an actress but by playing sassi\u2019s character , she is showcasing what she had in her because this is the type of performance that we never got to see before from her & it is mind - blowing . noman ejaz is doing a wonderful job as a helpless father & so is irsa ghazal , though i may not be a fan of her character but yes , that doesn\u2019t take away the fact that she has performed convincingly too . qasim as meesni bili is flawless as well , i love the titles sassi gives to him & the way he accepts everything is also amusing . yes , kareeman bua was right , qasim is another mammo & she could see him being walked over exactly like her . i so wish the scholarship & his time away from this setting brings a change in qasim\u2019s personality , i really am looking forward to it . the way they have made this drama a visual treat with all those vibrant colors & aesthetically appeasing backdrops is phenomenal , it goes to show the amount of effort that has gone in this project & it shines through . please share your thoughts about this episode of o rangreza .\noverall , this episode was amazing & i had a great time watching it . i loved the tiff sonia\u2019s manager & sassi had & how sassi settled the score . i am sure there\u2019s going to be more to this tiff & i am definitely looking forward to it . oh well , i loved loved loved the dream sequence of qasim & sassi , the chemistry between bilal abbas khan & sajal ali was so strong in that particular scene , it was just beautifully & perfectly portrayed . i just love the usage of the ost , i think the editors & the sound engineers should be commended for using this song so intelligently , it just ties everything together in a very unique way , it\u2019s like they know that the song is something else but haven\u2019t overused it or over - relied on it . the direction keeps on getting better & better & the same can be said about the performances too . i must commend all the actors especially irsa ghazal , noman ejaz , bilal abbas khan & sajal ali for taking their performances a notch higher every single time . sana fakhar is very graceful & elegant as sonia jahan , she has given her 100 % as well & it is a treat to watch her . after watching the preview of the next episode , i just can\u2019t wait for the next episode , looks like this will be the first time when sassi\u2019s bubble will burst where she thinks her father as an ideal man who believes in giving women a complete \u2018freedom\u2019 that they desire & require . please share your thoughts about this beautiful episode of o rangreza .\nthe movie starring bilal ashraf , urwa hocane and gohar rasheed is being directed by amir mohiuddin .\nhe started his music career in 2001 with josh\u2019s first album main hoon tanha and this is his second solo project outside josh after the pakistani collaboration with komal rizvi for \u2018desan da raja\u2019 .\njosh has released more than 17 music videos internationally and have successful collaborations with dj domeno , priyanka chopra , pitbull and nelly furtado to their credit .\nnot only that , qurram seemed to be impressed by the progress made by the pakistani movie industry .\n\u201cwhat i see now is that it\u2019s not the old lollywood days . i think that the pakistani movie industry has gone through a major upgrade in the last couple of years , and it\u2019s evident in the way things are moving forward . \u201d\nin reply to a question about his future projects , he said that he had been in the conversation for three other movies projects .\n\u201cthere is a lot of good energy in the entertainment industry of pakistan , so lots of those projects are looking for a new sound , and are happy to hear that i can bring in a fresh sound . \u201d\n\u201cother than that , i\u2019m on a journey to try to bring positive projects to pakistan and help the overall energy of our country . i\u2019m in talks for being a goodwill ambassador for a social cause , as well as working on bringing some international productions to pakistan as well . i hope whatever i can do can help all of us grow together and shed a positive light on pakistan , \u201d he concluded .\nalthough the look doesn ' t reveal anything except for the name , we love the artistic feel of the poster ; that archaic building blurred by a spray of colours promises that the film will be something bigger and better .\ngohar will be essaying the role of a dholak player in the film ; his overall look and attire is very different from what we\u2019ve seen from him so far . he also has long locks which seem to add intensity to the character of a dholak player !\nwe\u2019ve only seen his look so far and not sana or bilal\u2019s \u2013 we\u2019re guessing the latter will play the role of a contemporary musician , but where does that leave sana ? what role will she be playing ? guess we will have to wait and see .\nafter watching the first look of the movie , you have this uneasy feeling like you\u2019ve seen something like this before . well , after much pondering and in - house discussion , we reached a conclusion that it reminds us of indian flick raanjhana ( 2013 ) which starred dhanush , sonam kapoor and abhay deol .\nthe only difference is that sonam and dhanush were in the spotlight whereas in this case , none of the cast members are gracing the posters just yet \u2013 it is merely the title , written in both english and urdu with a building in the background hidden behind a spray of colour .\nfirst look is copy of bollywood mega super hit ranjhanaa . .

regarding the film , she did mention that its her third movie , as two plus two is up for production and she is shooting for that . the diva also told hip that she ' had to take it up because its a

editing flaws and some minor mistakes but waseem walay covered all the mistakes . i am die heart fan of bilal but in couple of scenes his acting looks\nweaker also . i am not urwas fan but she is looking cute . over all movie is too good . loved the messages given . 100 % family movie . and yes songs are too good . first time i am obsessed with pakistani movie ' s songs . paisa wasul\n. . what the fuck they did with it . . was it a movie . . director has no idea of movie making . . he even don ' t know from where to start n where to reach . he is the ma\nohar rasheed over acted . . bilal ashraf nowhere near to acting . urwa did what was described to her . . good music wasted not to be properly placed . . kaluu was a disaster for movie n gohar . . it was a great opportunit\ny as in terms of holidays n release time . . but how will people cum to see this crap . . it ' s not pakistan cinema is reviving . . he was not capable of directing movie . .\ni love bilal ashraf , but he did more modeling in this movie than acting . however , i can watch him for hours no matter what ! now , waseem ! that actor did a fabulous job at portraying\n! he really made you dislike him . overall , because of bilal , i ' m glad i went with my friend to see it .\ni ' m only giving it a 1 * because zero wasn ' t an option . it ' s a total waste of time and money . i was bored to death in the theater . there was glaringly a total lack of storyline ,\ning arcs . there was no coherent flow of events . stupid songs and certain events popped up out of nowhere , and i feel astounding\nnormally i never review the movies . but the amount of torucher i been through after wasting my time in cinema i decided to give my\ntography . like director said before its pure film pure slow film sir main dard ho geya . aya wada james camron publicty asa chal rahee jesa titanic ka second part bana deya hy . scene kuch aur chal raha pecha wo sitar sarangi aur flute chal raha . there is no such kind of camera projection\nhum tv ka drama zeda lag raha ta ada se zeada karchi centre ke actor hain . bahi qawal family dali koe zabdast se qawali dalo , classical gana dalo beach main . formality ka leya tu nahee banani film ya parctice ke leya . ya phir profit kamaney ke leya\nif there was something less then 1 star i would give it because this movie was pure crap . this movie has no storyline or good acting . i literally had to force myself to stay in the theatre because of\nthe money spent on it . don ' t go and watch this movie it ' s a waste of your money and time .\n. sharam nahi ayi family k sath dekhnay main . for me its 10 / 10 movie . best if luck team , awesome effort !\ni think the movie was good , but there was lack of linkage in many scenes , like the song kallu and that anarkali wala dream , and scenes revolved around few persons and places . acting of all actors was\nsuperb , specially waseem wale nailed it . and all songs are love . addicted to phool khil jain and buleya \ud83d\ude0d\ud83d\ude0d\ud83d\ude0d\nwaseem walay you nailed it . though there are some editing flaws and some minor mistakes but waseem walay covered all the mistakes . loved the messages given . 100 % family movie . and yes songs are too g\npathetic movie . . i left the movie in middle : / . it was a waste of time and money . the only thing good about the movie were carmel popcorns : d\ngood movie could do better . songs were not great but the acting was excellent .\nwhere it lacked was story line . . the only person who knew how to act was waseeeemwa\nle ! . the music is ok , the one with abida parveen song is my favourite .\nwith a song his moves didnt fit he was trying to much or something maybe . i hope pakistani movies think more on the story and less on the ambience . if you are looking for a good movie this is ' nt it\nfantastic movie love it thank you fully family and great movie \ufffd watch now all .\nthe worst movie ever . deserves a 0 . 5 star . it is sad to see gohar rasheed in the film because he is such a waste of talent . what a waste of time and money . seriously disappoint\nwith the soulful track by abida parveen playing in the background , the 40 second video merely introduce the lead cast of the upcoming movie in such a way so as to shed light on their respective characters .\nbilal , the janaan star , makes a typical chocolate boy entrance , walking dreamily in a purple kurta , while gohar is seen in yet a very different avatar .\nafter them comes the parvati - isque urwa who is apparently waiting for one of the two boys . who , we don\u2019t yet know . but the udaari actor\u2019s attire and posture looks seems very much inspired from devdas\u2019 paro .\nin an earlier interview with the express tribune , gohar revealed that he was busy shooting for t he film , which he described as \u201ca musical love story . \u201d\nhave something to add in the story ? share it in the comments below .\nwhat an awful trailer . 3 posers wafting around in slow motion that generated zero desire in me to watch the movie itself . i\u2019ve seen more artistry and imagination in a shampoo commercial .\na dreamy looking bilal ashraf , a pensive and distraught urwa hocane and a deranged gohar rasheed are seen in this teaser and we wonder just how these characters ' storylines intersect .\nwhile gohar rasheed has only revealed that his character is unlike any other he ' s played before , urwa ' s character reshmi is\na kind - hearted , soulful , beautiful girl whose purity makes her rare .\nthe film is also said to star veteran actor akber subhani , as well as saleem mairaj , tanveer jamal and shahid naqvi . the musical film will feature an eight - song soundtrack , featuring qurram hussain ( q ) of josh , farid ayaz and abu mohammad qawwals and others .\nimages got in touch with the actor to find out about her upcoming drama .\nbasically my character is inspired by noor jehan ,\nrevealed sana .\ni ' m playing sonya jehan , who is a central character in the serial .\nyes , it is a glamorous play but it isn\u2019t like alif allah aur insaan , it\u2019s a little different ; in this serial , i am playing the role of an actress ,\nshe added .\nshe shared :\nthe experience has been brilliant in terms of working with the director , co - actors and everything else made this experience amazing . we are almost done , just a few more days . hopefully the drama will wrap up next month .\nthe momina duraid production is being directed by kashif nisar and penned by saji gul . actors include noman ijaz , sajal aly , sana fakhar , irsa , priya jabeen , among others .\nso , just when things became a bit overwhelming for khayyam , he decided to get sassi married . when things were perfectly fine between him & sassi , khayyam was the one who dissed the idea of her marriage at such an early age because he didn\u2019t see her as a burden but now when sassi was giving him a hard time , he thought this was the only way to deal with sassi rather it was the only way out of this situation . now at this stage when sassi needs his guidance the most , when she needs his attention & his love , khayyam is turning a blind - eye . this decision of khayyam showed how he is someone who loves to run away from his problems , like he doesn\u2019t have enough spine to face the obstacles like a man . once again , this entire scenario highlighted the fact that despite posing to be the man of the house , khayyam was just a coward who was now trying to get rid of sassi for his own convenience .\nthe entire rishta scene was quite interesting . no one thought that sassi would do such a thing . even though khayyam had told his friend that sassi was a bit unconventional & unpredictable , sassi outdid her father because she did what he never had imagined . i love how sassi plays with everyone\u2019s mind , like where her family thought that she would create a havoc over the news of her sudden marriage , she remained calm & collected & in the end did something that shook them to no end . for the first time , khayyam was blank , like he was helpless as well as clueless because he was finding it hard to deal with sassi . sassi has made it impossible for khayyam to come to a conclusion as to how he should deal with her ? yes , being a father , khayyam still has some soft corner for sassi in his heart that is why he was worried but then what she has put him up with is also bothering khayyam to no end !\ni must say , khayyam displayed a lot of selfishness when he once again approached sonia jahan . he knows that it is because of her & sassi\u2019s desire of being like her that has put him under such an awkward position in his life but still he chose to let her know that he wants her . sonia jahan was hurt at what she heard from khayyam that is why she decided to close his chapter off her life because even she understood that it was perfectly alright for khayyam to love her but it was strictly not ohkay for sonia to influence sassi . it\u2019s like khayyam wants the best of both , he wants the one he loves irrespective of what she does like he said , but on the other hand , he forbids his daughter to idealize the one he loves because he would never condone that . khayyam sani is a typical man who thinks he is entitled to do whatever he wants because he is a man whereas when it comes to his daughter , he wants her to abide by the rules set by him & the society because that in any case hurts him & his pride . khayyam knows that no one might question him for his choice of getting married to sonia but the entire world would question him if sassi would choose that path so once again , out of his own selfishness he disapproves of sassi\u2019s choices !\noh well , i think it is safe to say that i am tired of mumtaz , like when i saw her crying buckets , i felt nothing for her . i loved kareeman bua in this episode , it was like she gave words to the viewers\u2019 feelings when she said \u2018shadi har maslay ka hal nahi hota\u2019 . khayyam & even mumtaz were trying to find a convenient way out of this situation by marrying sassi off but good that sassi took a stand for herself , in an outrageous way but she did because she has the right to . so yes , back to mumtaz , yes , i am done feeling sorry for her because her submissiveness is the reason behind her sufferings . yes , i get it , she has given up , she has accepted failure as her fate but the least she can do is stop following khayyam\u2019s lead blindly . yes , she has no control over khayyam or even sassi but she can draw a line because that\u2019s something that is totally under her control but she chooses not to & that makes my sympathy go out of the window for her ! mumtaz herself brought sonia back in khayyam\u2019s life because she already assumed that she couldn\u2019t do anything for both khayyam & sassi ! ? !\ni loved the scenes between sassi & qasim . qasim actually thought that he will get a clear cut answer from a girl like sassi who is completely twisted ( in a good way ) . qasim thought since sassi is over khayyam & she doesn\u2019t idealize him , now he stands a chance but sassi has someone else in her mind . i am not sure if she is going to go after wajih kamal because she would want to hurt sonia jahan or she genuinely likes him . sassi is someone who is going to make the weirdest of choices because she doesn\u2019t want to fall under the bracket of \u2018normal\u2019 , she doesn\u2019t want to settle for \u2018normal\u2019 ever & she has made that quiet clear !\npay

episodes , it maintains the novelty even in the middle of story where the viewers might think they have understood everything about the characters . this time around , the focus was on mumtaz & also on sassi . i feel for mumtaz a lot , i most certainly do , but then again , like i said last week , i am not sure how long i\u2019d be able to feel for her especially seeing how she doesn\u2019t believe in doing anything to change things around her . there was a lot of focus on sassi & mumtaz\u2019s relationship as well where time & again mumtaz was reminded of where she stands in sassi\u2019s life !\nsince sassi is so not used to listen to her mother , i didn\u2019t really feel that there was a need for sassi to lie to her that she was going to see her friend when she was actually going to visit sonia jahan\u2019s place . sassi is used to ignoring what mumtaz says plus when she had already made up her mind , she could\u2019ve told mumtaz honestly where she was going because sassi is upfront , honest & straight forward . anyways , sonia jahan steered sassi\u2019s thought towards qasim in a way that even sassi couldn\u2019t decipher for now . sassi has always seen

the average rating is 5 . 6 / 10 . the site ' s consensus reads ,\nwith an implausible story and numerous plot holes , shooter fails to distinguish itself from other mindless action - thrillers .\n[ 10 ] metacritic assigns the film a weighted average score of 53 out of 100 , based on 33 critics , indicating\nmixed or average reviews\n. [ 11 ]\nen route to the target , they realize they are being followed . they head to a village to contact their informant , a priest , only to find that he has been tortured and murdered by alvarez ' s men well before they arrived . beckett speculates out loud that it is the work of el cirujano , calling into question miller ' s credibility . that night , beckett marks their track to bait the follower - the sniper that killed papich - into a trap and uses miller as bait to pull the sniper out of hiding to take him out .\nthroughout the film , swagger uses an array of sniper weapons , among which are the usmc m40a3 , [ 4 ] the cheytac intervention , [ 5 ] and the barrett m82 sniper rifles . donnie fenn used an m4a1 with a cobray 37mm launcher ( commonly used by tv and movie armorers as a stand - in for the m203 grenade launcher ) and m68 close combat optic in the african opening sequences . a pair of remington 700ps were bought by swagger and memphis while on the run . other weapons used by swagger include a beretta m9 and a commandeered m4a1 with an aimpoint sight , in the fight against the 24 mercenaries and a colt m1911 - a1 and a suppressed m4a1 in the final scene . fenn ' s old . 22 rifle that swagger used on the lake scene is a cooey model 60 .\nthe norinco type 56 - 1 is carried by several guerrilla fighters in the film . they are fitted with akm - style slanted muzzles , but are identifiable as type 56s and not actual akms from the hooded foresight that only chinese aks have .\nit is , i admit , strange that\nsniper\nis so blase about the fact that the heroes are murderers . after all of those angry costa - gavras thrillers about corrupt american death squads , here is a movie that pragmatically assumes that ' s the way the world turns .\nrotten tomatoes , a review aggregator , reports that 42 % of twelve surveyed critics gave the film a positive review ; the average rating was 4 . 7 / 10 .

firing only glock clone that is only available in europe , where the film was produced .\nat the core of the film is a big truth : the successful defence of the city proved a critical landmark in the war \u2014 much more so than el alamein or any other british military achievement in the years between the battle of britain and d - day .\non the other hand , \u201camerican sniper\u201d never shies away from depicting kyle as racist and xenophobic , an innocent abroad rendered armed and exceptionally dangerous . after sitting through the film twice , i\u2019m more convinced than ever that there\u2019s a level of sardonic commentary at work that is sometimes subtle and sometimes pretty damn obvious . pay attention to cooper\u2019s increasingly congested body language , the posture of a man stricken with unmanageable psychic distress . pay attention to the use of the phrase \u201cmission accomplished\u201d late in the film , or the stateside scene in which kyle runs into a marine whose life he saved in fallujah and can\u2019t even make eye contact with the guy . this is a portrait of an american who thought he knew what he stood for and what his country stood for and never believed he needed to ask questions about that . he drove himself to kill and kill and kill based on that misguided ideological certainty \u2013 that brainwashing , though i\u2019m sure clint eastwood would never use that word \u2013 and then paid the price for it . so did we all , and the reception of this film suggests that the payments keep on coming due .\nafter the training ( which takes up nearly a quarter of the pages ) , lone survivor mainly sticks to the one harrowing incident . luttrell inserts information he found out afterwards into the timeline - particularly about the vigil that took place at his family home while he was missing . american sniper is more of an overarching autobiography , kyle ' s claim to fame when it was written being his having killed more enemy combatants than any sniper in american military history , something that clearly takes a long time to happen . the films adhere to these same basic structures but the points at which each movie departs from the book are revealing .\nfilming took place from september 24 to october 22 of this year , but pre - production began months earlier , with leading action movie professionals in fields like special effects and stunt doubles training the colombian crew . around 13 foreign and 170 colombians have worked on the film .\nplot the movie starts off with master gunnery sergeant thomas beckett ( berenger ) , an experienced sniper , and his spotter cpl . papich ( aden young ) assassinating a panamanian rebel leader in the jungle . afterward , they take up a position in an isolated part of the jungle and wait out until nighttime for an extraction . however , they are extracted at daylight much to the dismay of beckett . an experienced rebel sniper , formerly trained by beckett , kills papich as the two reach the helicopter , but beckett is able to retrieve his body and bring it to the helicopter . infuriated , beckett blames the helicopter co for papich ' s death .\nok movie . there ' s not much in the way of plot , and character development is practically non - existent , but the action is well - executed , the concept of getting inside a sniper ' s mindset and planning fairly unique and berenger ' s lead performance is compelling enough to make this a watchable genre pic .\nthere is a tiny bit in sniper one which has 2 versions . the trailer on flixster shows a different version when the dc guys talk to billy zane s character about his mission in pananma . check out 00 : 21 the flixster trailer . the dvd version is totally different . i dont know if this was the theater version ?\nthe film ' s great triumph - and a bigger differentiating point from american sniper or lone survivor even than its lack of budget or marquee - name stars - is that it sticks to the facts without worrying about the cinematic consequences . as a result , it succeeds on every level , yet does so by seeming to break every rule in the book . it is the tensest of action films , yet contains no real\naction\n- there ' s barely even any movement . aside from a moment where one of the paras is listening to the kaiser chiefs on his ipod during some down time , and a new song ( ' all of my life ' , written and performed by phoebe katis ) that plays over the end credits , there is no music . the nearest the soldiers get to the taliban is watching them through binoculars , yet the film shows the paras in the fight of their lives .\ntom berenger essays a marine sniper , oddly named thomas beckett , on assignment in panama . pic quickly establishes sniping as a lonely profession shunned even by other gung - ho marines . on his latest assignment he\u2019s accompanied by an ambitious young washington bureaucrat , richard miller ( billy zane ) , who is so green he doesn\u2019t really need camouflage ."]}

foreign terrain for a bush kangaroo - seems almost wilfully perverse in sidelining skippy , and this might help explain the film ' s lack of box office appeal . there ' s not much a kangaroo can do in relation to a power boat , or an underwater gold heist .\nis an example of the strength of his work and recognition from the producers of the importance of music in drama . among his later film and tv credits , jupp was the music director for the adventure series\nk\u0101nun -

one 30 - minute episodes were made over the three seasons of production . at the time of first screening , australian television was still in black and white , however , the show was filmed in colour on 16 mm film to increase its international marketability , especially in the united states and canada , where it aired in syndication between 1969 and 1972 . the nine network readily repeated the series several times after australian television switched to colour transmission in 1975 .\nas with the television series , there was a film tie - in involving golden books . the golden book spin - offs of the tv series and the feature were estimated to have generated nearly a half million sales by january 1973 .\nwhile the screenplay by t . j . cimfel and david white eventually proves unsatisfying in its plot revelations , the film certainly holds your attention thanks to schindler ' s tautly paced direction and riegraf ' s emotionally nuanced performance . the violence is more bloodily graphic than it needs to be , with the result that intruders ( screened at festivals under the more evocative title shut in ) feels more like a familiar exploitation item than the sophisticated thriller it might have been .\nall the cast members went on to appear in many film and television series , both in australia and overseas , except garry pankhurst -

revolution feature films , most of which were prize winners and box office successes , were also produced by kanun .\nsydney pop group \u2018the executives\u2019 appeared in ep . 35 , \u2018the bushrangers\u2019 , the title referring to the name of a band that the group portray in the episode . four of the six members of the group took part in the episode , with actor fred sims playing the fifth band member . they perform two songs in the episode , one being a specially written variation of the skippy theme tune . being the talented kangaroo that she is , skippy even joined the group as a drummer !\nkanun productions were the first experience of film direction for a number of today\u2019s best - known iranian directors , including abbas kiarostami , bahr\u0101m beyz\u0101\u02bei , sohrab \u0161ahid - \u1e6f\u0101le\u1e6f , mo\u1e25ammad - re\u017c\u0101 a\u1e63l\u0101ni , n\u0101\u1e63er taqv\u0101\u02bei , and amir n\u0101deri . all internationally recognized iranian animation film directors started their work at kanun , and many have continued to cooperate with it , or have finished their oeuvre with it .\nas a bonus , within this extra , you get the piano accordion stylings of gus herzi and charles and janie paton ' s puppets ( it seems capitals didn ' t exist in those days for film credits ) .\nepisode 19 , \u2018the waratah festival\u2019 , was filmed during the annual sydney waratah festival float procession . taking part in the actual parade was a \u2018waratah national park\u2019 float with the cast members plus skippy and hector the emu on board . while in the procession , action was staged on the float which was used in the episode . so while the real - life audience at the festival were watching a skippy float in the parade , all the while it was being filmed for use in an episode where a \u2018waratah national park\u2019 float has been entered in the procession . a neat two - pronged plan - publicity for the series in a high - profile community event ; and a unique setting to film an episode of the series .\nafter production of the series ceased , the film set in ku - ring - gai chase national park was opened to the public in january 1970 as a \u2018theme park\u2019 and animal sanctuary , with skippy and the other animals taking up permanent residence there . ed deveraux was on hand , in uniform as matt hammond , for the official opening . initially operated by fauna productions , the management of the park changed hands over the years , and was still operating as of 2006 .\nthe intruders arrive in the form of two suspicious divers ( ron graham and jeff ashby ) seeking a park permit to carry out regulation abalone fishing . with their request granted by chief ranger matt hammond ( ed devereaux ) they begin an underwater operation which involves a clandestine treasure hunt in a submersible to retrieve the cargo of lost gold from a sunken wreck .\n3 . \u201cthe boy , the musical instrument , and the bird\u201d ( pesar o s\u0101z o parande ) , animation , 35mm , 12 . 30 min , color ; cinematographer , asad -

length film ) .\nthe climactic action lurches off on a visual tangent reminiscent of guillermo del toro ' s work , as mia ' s bedroom comes alive with a seething mass of inky tendrils . it ' s an intriguing idea that the same trauma hatches a vivid nightmare that continues to develop in the active minds of children over two generations . but the resolution nonetheless is unsatisfying , dismantling the film ' s supernatural foundations using dreary psychology .\njohn laws , well - known as an outspoken sydney talkback radio host , appeared as a villain and performed a rendition of \u2018the wild colonial boy\u2019 in ep . 41 , \u2018honest jack\u2019 , his first major acting role . his part in the episode led directly to him being cast in a lead role opposite googie withers in the film the nickel queen . john mccallum , who was also producer of the nickel queen , said\nthe opening titles showed a scene of sonny calling skippy by whistling through a gumleaf , and skippy responding . the cast members then received an individual credit , with the curious exception of liza goddard - for some reason she was never included in the opening titles . the final credit , naturally , was for \u2018skippy the bush kangaroo\u2019 . the opening neatly demonstrated the unique relationship between sonny and skippy , and showcased the bushland setting . the closing credits were superimposed over a scene of the helicopter on the helipad .\nthe first series commenced with a \u2018teaser\u2019 before the opening titles , but for the second and third series the \u2018teaser\u2019 was dropped and the episode started with the stock opening . after four episodes , the opening was altered , commencing with ep . 44 \u2018the raft\u2019 . the same structure was retained , the only change being different scenes for the actors , necessitated in part by the fact that garry pankhurst , and to a lesser extent ken james , were noticeably older . there was still no credit for liza goddard , however on the closing credits liza was now listed with the other cast members ( whether she appeared in the episode or not ) , whereas in the first series her credit was included with the guest actors .\na self - financed pilot episode in 1966 was aimed squarely at an overseas market . although australian television at this time was still in black - and - white , skippy was filmed in colour on 16mm film to increase its international appeal . however , john mccallum first offered the show to australian frank packer , head of a media empire that included the nine network . according to mccallum , despite the fact that the sound and then the picture packed up during the screening , packer agreed to back the series .\nfind all the best television shows from the other side of the pond in our us tv store and catch the latest shows in our 2014 ' s hottest tv page .\nunderwater photography was done by ron and valerie taylor , then the go - to people for this kind of filming , and while not up to the standard of their evocative reef work for age of consent - because of the relatively dull underwater location selected for filming - it is perhaps still the best element in the film . this footage features what was at the time deemed james bond - style underwater gear , a mini sub used to explore a wreck for gold bullion .\nthere is some ambiguity around the creative genius behind skippy , although general agreement that actor and producer john mccallum ( 1918\u20132010 ) , film director lee robinson ( 1923\u20132003 ) and lawyer bob austin , who together formed fauna productions , all played a key role along with producer on the first series , dennis hill .\nduring filming of the second series , a major breakthrough occurred - a sale was made to the united states . breakfast cereal manufacturer kellogg\u2019s entered into a syndication deal which would see skippy eventually being shown on more than 160 american television stations , commencing in january 1969 . at that stage the series was already being seen in 51 countries , and would be screened in 85 countries by the end of the year , and ultimately would reach over 128 countries . lee robinson said skippy had proved that australia need not confine itself to the local market : \u201cobviously our artists and technicians have been producing the quality necessary for world success . \u201d\n29 . tv week , oct 4 , 1969 . 30 . tv times , april 22 , 1970 . 31 . tv week , nov 7 , 1970 . 32 . ibid . 33 . tv times , jan 6 , 1971 . 34 . \u2018gentler times\u2019 , skippy dvd ( umbrella entertainment david0202 and david0640 ) . 35 .\n3 . \u201cthe journey\u201d ( safar ) , live , 35mm , 34 min , b / w ; cinematographer , mehrd\u0101d fa\u1e35imi and firuz malekz\u0101deh ; screenwriter and director , bahr\u0101m bay\u017c\u0101\u02bei ( winner of golden statue , special prize of the international jury , 7th international film festival for children and young adults , tehran ) .\nthat crime spooked the suburbs of america . it seemed to be the evil fruit of a society in flux , rootless , godless , unpatriotic . and macdonald was the very opposite of all that . a graduate of princeton , he was the embodiment of the all - american hero \u2013 the athletic school quarterback who became a handsome , hard - working emergency doctor , the green beret who married his childhood sweetheart . yet investigators soon began to suspect it wasn ' t drugged - up intruders who killed his family but macdonald himself , who then carefully stabbed himself to make it look as though he had been attacked .\n( yoram gross , 1997 ) , featured skippy as the park ranger in the cartoon world of bushtown . in 2009 , the documentary\n6 . \u201charmonica\u201d ( s\u0101z dahani ) , live , 35mm , 75 min , color ; cinematographer , \u02bfali -

off series , but it was soon realised that the subject had limited appeal for overseas audiences - even though it broke box - office records in australia , the film had little success in other countries . unlike crawford productions , who were making shows primarily for a local audience , fauna\u2019s vision was always for the international market .\nshooting began in october 1968 , using the same crew and some of the same key sets as the tv series . the unit first did location work at the victorian town of mallacoota , and then did sydney interiors in november .\nerrol morris works in a large , airy studio in cambridge , massachusetts . when i visit him on a bitterly cold afternoon in february , he ' s editing a film about donald rumsfeld , provisionally titled the known unknown . morris won his oscar for the fog of war , a brilliant documentary about robert mcnamara , the us defence secretary during the vietnam war . did he , i wonder , get access to rumsfeld ?\nwhat at first appears to be a standard home invasion thriller is transformed into something more complex , if ultimately not much more rewarding , in adam schindler ' s directorial debut . the story of an agoraphobe who can ' t escape her home when it ' s broken into by three men intent on robbery , intruders at least offers an intriguing twist or two .\nlater this year the judge in wilmington is due to report on his findings on the long saga of the people versus jeffrey macdonald . it should be the last throw of the dice for the 69 - year - old doctor . mcginniss and morris are of the same opinion : they are not expecting him to get lucky .\nthe pilot episode , \u2018man from space\u2019 , was included as part of the first series , but it was screened at various times . in some places it was shown early in the series run , whereas most cities ( including sydney and melbourne ) showed it towards the end of the first series or during the second series . there were some differences in the pilot : garry pankhurst as sonny looks noticeably younger , and ranger headquarters is a completely different building - the house used in the series was not constructed until after the pilot had been made . the end credits feature a view of the ( different ) ranger hq instead of the usual helicopter on the helipad scene , and the original opening titles were later substituted for the series two stock opening .\nthe same team as featured in the long running television series turn up in the feature film , including chief ranger of waratah national park matt hammond ( ed devereaux ) , his sons mark ( garry pankhurst ) and sonny ( ken james ) , along with a flight ranger jerry king ( tony bonner ) and clancy , a teenager girl who works at ranger headquarters ( liza goddard ) .\nthe third series ran to only 13 episodes , making a total of 91 , and production was wound up in september 1969 . it was never intended to make any more , partly because 91 episodes was considered enough , and partly because garry pankhurst was growing up . john mccallum , in his book life with googie , later said 91 was too many , and they should have stopped at the end of the second series . the reason was that most countries would only purchase selected episodes , ranging from a minimum of thirteen to a maximum of 78 .\non the day of her brother ' s funeral , a trio of intruders ( joshua mikel , martin starr , jack kesy ) break in , assuming that the house is empty , to look for the large cache of cash rumored to be there . at first rudely surprised and then amused when they discover that beth is not only present but also suffering from a psychological condition that prevents her from escaping even through an open door , they threaten to kill her if she doesn ' t tell them where the money is hidden .\nthe name given to john ' s daughter is more likely a fanboy in - joke than a direct nod to rosemary ' s baby , given that intruders has little kinship to that classic , or to polanski paranoia in general . it treads an ambiguous line between violent reality and frightening imagination as it cuts back and forth between luisa and john ' s attempts to protect their children .\nfeature - length film spin - off of the australian hit tv series ' skippy the bush kangaroo ' , starring all the regular tv cast . when matt hammond , head ranger in the holiday paradise of mallacoota , is approached by two divers for permission to search for abalone off the coast of the waratah national park , flight ranger jerry king becomes suspicious . he is certain there is no abalone in waratah , and , when he sees the divers ' large cruiser , he is convinced that they are not fishermen . it turns out that he is right : they have been hired to find a wreck and illegally salvage the cargo . . .\nfilming commenced in may 1967 , on the strength of the sale to channel nine and the optimism of covering the remaining two - thirds of the costs from overseas sales . considerable preparatory work was required before filming could commence . production offices had to be set up in sydney , and permission was required from the nsw state government to occupy land in the ku - ring - gai chase national park north of sydney . co - operation was received from the nsw national parks and wildlife service and the ku - ring - gai chase trust , who set aside 24 acres of land for use as a film set , and granted access to a further 500 acres of surrounding park . a house was built\nthe addition of female cast members gave greater depth and breadth to the show , but , as it happened , the romantic interest was never developed .\nthe obscurity factor : 8 ( almost completely forgotten until it was featured in the times ) .\n4 . \u201cblack and white\u201d ( si\u0101h o sefid ) , live [ with special effects ] , 35mm , 4 min ; cinematographer , mehrd\u0101d fa\u1e35imi ; screenwriter and director , sohr\u0101b \u0161ahid -

also known as ' the bar ' - features in some of the abalone boat scenes .\ntwo of the many skippy books released . at left a storybook for younger kids , at right one of the regular ' annuals ' released for the christmas market .\nin 1970 , colette macdonald and her two daughters were stabbed to death in a savage frenzy , setting in motion america ' s longest -

( some prints of the third series were later modified by reverting to the second series opening titles - probably to allow them to be mixed up with earlier episodes and screened in random order . unfortunately , these altered episodes are used on the dvd release . ) there were a couple of different vehicles being used in the third series , but the major changes were the absence of clancy and jerry king . clancy had been written out at the end of the second series , but no explanation was given for jerry\u2019s departure - he , and the helicopter , were just simply not there . the audience could only assume that his duties as chief flight ranger were keeping him away from waratah national park .\nit is often noted that skippy is always the sidekick to the action , providing reaction shots , the occasional helpful paw , a ' tch tch ' here and there , and a decisive intervention at the point when baddies need to be defeated .\nskippy theme ( ' bushrangers ' variant ) as performed by ' the executives ' in ep . 35 , \u2018the bushrangers\u2019 .\nultimately what did for macdonald was not his personality or his lifestyle but the forensic evidence . morris maintains that the crime scene was despoiled by the military police who first arrived and that therefore the forensics are unreliable . but every disputed criminal case of note has its totemic piece of evidence . with oj simpson it was the glove that didn ' t fit . in the assassination of jfk it was the so - called magic bullet . in the macdonald case it ' s a pyjama top .\nwas set in the fictitious waratah national park , a conservation area open to the public for recreational pursuits , where all plants and wildlife are protected . head ranger of the park was matt hammond , played by ed deveraux , an accomplished actor who had appeared in many film and television roles in both australia and britain , including they\u2019re a weird mob and the abc mini - series my brother jack . initially , deveraux did not want to be in the series : \u201ci said i didn\u2019t want anything to do with what i thought was going to be children\u2019s tv . i thought it was a sort of \u2018low grace\u2019 thing . \u201d\nit takes a speedboat chase and a gunfight in the sand dunes before the gang leader ( kevin miles as a nasty piece of work ) is brought to justice . . . naturally with the help of the clever , hardworking ' roo . . .\nexecutive producers of skippy were john mccallum and bob austin . producers of the first series were lee robinson and dennis hill . hill was also instrumental in the development of the show , however he only worked on the first series . producers of the second series were robinson and joy cavill , and cavill was the producer for the third series . most episodes were directed by max varnel or eric fullilove , both of whom had extensive experience overseas .\nfollowing his 2001 domestic debut , intacto , fresnadillo landed a plum assignment with 28 weeks later , capably picking up where danny boyle left off in his terrifying zombie spree , 28 days later . co - financed by universal pictures international , intruders shows again that fresnadillo can deliver chills , sustain a mood of potent dread and ratchet up suspense as such b - movies demand . but nico casariego and jaime marques ' shaky screenplay lets him down .\nmorris has had several communications with macdonald , although he avoided contact during the writing of the book so as not to allow emotion to affect his focus .\nhe is a problematic person ,\nhe says .\nis there anything he said to me , anything in his demeanour that tells me he slaughtered his family ? not really , no . to me the issue is not whether i like jeffrey or i don ' t like jeffrey , because i do like jeffrey , but i still think it ' s irrelevant . there are lots of people from 1969 and 1970 who really liked him , admired him and his family , saw him as a loving father .\nthe figure of most controversy , though , is jeffrey macdonald . he remains incarcerated and steadfast in his protestations of innocence . in a prison ceremony in 2002 he married a woman who is equally convinced that he is not guilty . yet nothing adds up with him . his story about the hippie intruders seems fantastic . acid is groovy ? kill the pigs ? that sounds like dialogue from one of roger corman ' s more hamfisted exploitation movies . and why would a gang go to such sustained and ferocious lengths to kill a pregnant woman and two small children and yet leave a powerful and therefore dangerous man with only a single puncture wound ?\nthe dvd has two extras a 24 ' 17 period black and white television special showing\nskippys playground at waratah headquarters\n( sic ) , intended for young viewers , and\nthe long way home\n, a 24 ' 19\n1967 episode from the television series ,\nthe first ever episode\naccording to the dvd slick and featuring the immortal frank thring , with reasonable image .\nscripts were written by australian writers , and lee robinson said that \u201ceach story has the underlying thought , which is the preservation of wild life\u201d . however , the directors were initially from overseas : \u201cwe have no australians capable of doing the job , \u201d said robinson , \u201cbut we plan to train australians as the series develops . \u201d\n6 . \u201cthe flower storm\u201d ( golb\u0101r\u0101n ) , animation , 35mm , 9 min , color ; cinematographer , mo\u1e25ammad fayj\u0101ni ; music , esfandi\u0101r monfaredz\u0101deh ; screenwriters , \u1e25osayn sam\u0101k\u0101r and ebr\u0101him foruze\u0161 ; animator and director , \u02bfali - akbar \u1e63\u0101deqi ( golden plaque , international jury , 7th international film festival for children and young adults , tehran ; special diploma award , tampere international festival , finland , 1973 ) .\nbut the initially terrified beth turns out to be far from what she seems , and the same goes for her home . during the ensuing ultra - violent cat - and - mouse , she reveals surprising resources , utilizing the house \u2014 which comes to resemble a demonic theme - park attraction \u2014 to turn the tables on her tormentors .\nthere is a good reason skippy is a timeless hit worldwide . you feel like you are out there with sonny and skippy roaming the park . sonny keeps his childlike innocence while the adults handle the details . skippy is the power all children wish they had over an adult world . and it all comes out safe in the end .\nstudent leader gary ross tried to defend their negligent actions , saying the whole thing was intended only as an amusing stunt : \u201cas soon as we realised that the prank had gone sour we returned the kangaroo we were holding . \u201d when told how upset people were by the whole stunt , he replied : \u201cwe might remind people of the hundreds of kangaroos which are being slaughtered in the outback areas . \u201d\n( there actually were aussies qualified for the job , but they were mostly already working for crawfords , roger mirams or the abc ) .\nsydney pop group ' the executives ' appeared in ep . 35 , ' the bushrangers ' , which ended in a sloppy mud fight .\nthe original cast of skippy : ken james , tony bonner , ed deveraux , garry pankhurst and , of course , skippy the bush kangaroo .\na man awakens inside a white cube , covered in a four - by - four grid . he has no memory of how he got there and there seems no way out . but as time passes , panels open temporarily to admit an intruder or onlooker . they pop back through their panels but bar the man from going through , pointing out\nthis is my door ; you ' ll have to find your door .\nthe intruders vary from individuals to a child on a tricycle and and a rock band . more and more people start to come into the cube , filling it up and this developes into a sort of cocktail party . a rock band comes through sometime during all of this , singing the cube ' s theme song ,\nyou ' ll never get out , you ' ll never get out , you ' ll never get out till you die .\nat one point the man sees himself , a double , and has a dialog with himself about how he has to find his way out . is the man a prisoner ?

20 given that there are some songs that are little known and could sure do with some minimal extra popularity that milliblog can bestow on them . james vasanthan made definite , confident strides in 2009 , after a chart - buster track in 2008 , while yuvan\u2019s track record continued to remain dotted \u2013 but he shows tremendous promise in the kind of sound he creates . the most promising climb is that of young thaman , who , after a series of telugu soundtracks , finally makes his mark with just 2 . 5 songs in shankar\u2019s eeram . the most shocking omission in the list is however , harris jeyaraj , who after being the composer of the year in 2008 , fails to get even a single track in not just the top 10 , but even in the 11 - 20 list . hope he does better in 2010 .\nbased in peshawar , the plot of the short film , the school bag , revolves around a six - year - old boy named farooq and his mother , enacted by sartaaj kakkar and rasika dugal , respectively .\n\u201cthe making of the film became a mindfulness practice in itself . we had to remain non - attached to our outcomes because we never knew what would happen each day . some days we couldn\u2019t film anything , and on others we managed to capture great scenes . ultimately , we wanted to find a cinematic language that could transmit to the audience our own personal experience in the monastery so it could feel like a meditation in itself . \u201d\nit could have been sheer coincidence that with the government launching a digital india campaign , the world of movie making has underlined its commitment to adopt the idea by releasing the costliest vfx film ever . and as far as incorporating the element of vfx in a film is concerned , it has by far beaten krrish and happy new year . the director rajamouli indeed has given the clarion call that india can make mythological movies with a difference .\ni may not be able to respond to every comment , but i\u2019m committed to read every single comment posted in milliblog . so , do let me know your feedback \u2013 it\u2019d be fair to say that since every person\u2019s taste is different , there would be tons of disagreements with my lists above . do let me and milliblog\u2019s readers know of your top songs of 2009 \u2013 i may not change my opinion , but i\u2019ll be richer with the awareness .\nritu sarin and tenzing sonam have been making films on tibetan subjects for more than 20 years . through their work they have attempted to document , question , and reflect on , the issues of exile , cultural identity and political aspiration that confront the tibetan diaspora . at the same time , they have consciously made an effort to dispel some of the more romanticised and exoticised representations of tibet and its culture that have found currency in the western imagination , by taking a more intimate , sensitive and realistic perspective .\naward winning director aparna sen ' s latest film\nthe japanese wife\nhas been acquired for us distribution by databazaar media ventures ( dmv ) . order the dvd online and get it home delivered -

versed with the manifestations of extreme and has the uncanny ability to make absurdity larger - than - life through imagination and to mesmerize the audience into believing it . with bahubali , he has taken the element of make - belief one more step forward and has given a strong message to the film - making community that if they do not use technology and weave the story on a large canvas , footfalls would not happen at all . he has really raised the bar and pushed the envelope for the fraternity of film - making .\na film about the well - known tibetan buddhist teacher gelek rimpoche , american rimpoche , premieres june 7 , 2014 , at the rubin museum of art , with director nikki appino , composer philip glass , and gelek rimpoche in conversation after the screening .\nthe new generation is also characterized by the diminishing star culture . given that the industry is so small , it doesn\u2019t have the required budgets to focus on flashy gimmicks and scale , and as a result , the focus is on the writing and acting , putting the content at the heart of the film . this has been a key driver of mollywood becoming one of the most progressive and celebrated film industries today . in that sense , it can be argued that its biggest weakness became its greatest strength .\none of the film ' s drawbacks is it ' s characterisation which is faulty . sarat is shown as a goody - goody fellow who internalises every humiliation . the film also perpetuates the myth that females working in bpo / it sector are sex fiends . the socialist tirade that sprouts in between is also jarring . it parks and other such places are presented as symbols of capitalist dystopia where the poor are robbed of their land and provided menial jobs in compensation while the rich loot and milk the place dry .\nas the narrative progresses , one gets to witness a heartbreaking change of events that leaves us numb . beautifully picturised with amazing performances by both the child actor and rasika dugal , the film is directed by dheeraj jindal and is inspired by a true incident .\nopens at ny\u2019s lincoln plaza cinemas , march 18 ; landmark midtown art cinema ( atlanta ) , april 1 ; smith rafael film center ( ca ) , april 8 ; sf\u2019s sundance kabuki cinemas , april 8 ; and la\u2019s laemmle theaters , april 8 .\nlaurie anderson , best known for her theatrical events with music and text , has made a very personal yet universal meditation on memory , loss , love and death . she wrote and directed , and shot much of this film herself , and it is suffused with a feeling of attention and reflection . the film is driven not by a dramatic narrative but by associations , connections , many creative leaps of imagination , and\u2026 a dog . there is a soundtrack album as well , available on cd and through itunes .\nas i had explained in my annual round - up in 2008 , i do not listen to every single thing released in telugu , malayalam and kannada . so , the lists below may not be exhaustive enough \u2013 still , they\u2019re an opinion and i sincerely hope you dig up some gem from them which you may have missed otherwise . as far as telugu film music , mickey j meyer ruled the roost in 2009 \u2013 he topped it all with a super soundtrack in leader . but , long before leader happened , yuvan , making a state -

thought - out plots , setting a new standard for mainstream commercial cinema across the nation . the sheer presence and impact of malayalam films have also been well reflected in the national awards , with 11 of the 63 national awards for best feature film to date being awarded to a malayalam film . the most recent of which was the 2010 adaminte makan abu ( abu , son of adam ) , which also went on to be india\u2019s official entry to the oscars .\nwith excellent access , the film explores thich nhat hanh\u2019s plum village ( france ) community of monastics\u2014monks and nuns who have given up all their possessions and signed up to a life of chastity for one common purpose\u2014to transform their suffering , and practice in the zen buddhist tradition of their teacher .\nclerk is an upcoming 2010 kolkata bangla film produced by nitesh sharma / bangla talkies . the movie is written and directed by subhadro choudhury . music is by raja narayan deb . the running time of clerk is a short 84 minutes . read all about clerk , watch the free prmos online\nof all the pressures weighing on a major film festival , the most urgent\u2014and in some ways the most absurd\u2014is the one to be topical . how does a behemoth like cannes meet the moment , and what would that even mean ? as the most powerful film showcase and marketplace in the world , cannes doubles as an annual referendum on the state of the art and the industry , and two framing narratives dominated this year\u2019s pre - festival coverage . the first stemmed from the festival\u2019s ongoing battle with netflix , with cannes positioned as the stubborn old guard defending the sanctity of the cinematic experience against\ntop 10 tamil songs of 2009 01 . needhaane ( sarvvam , yuvan shankar raja ) 02 . tharai irangiya ( eeram , thaman ) 03 . oh eesa ( aayirathil oruvan , g v prakash kumar ) 04 . oru vetkam ( pasanga , james vasanthan ) 05 . thuli thuli ( paiya , yuvan shankar raja ) 06 . vaanam pudhidhu ( ilamai idho idho , vidyasagar ) 07 . karuga mani ( azhagarmalai , ilayaraja ) 08 . kooda varuviya ( valmiki , ilayaraja ) 09 . ulagam ninaivil illai ( pokkisham , sabesh murali ) 10 . oru kal ( siva manasula shakti , yuvan shankar raja )\ntop 10 telugu songs of 2009 01 . oy ( oy , yuvan shankar raja ) 02 . atu nuvve ( current , devi sri prasad ) 03 . maa telugu talliki remix ( leader , mickey j meyer ) 04 . meghama ( prayanam , mahesh shankar ) 05 . seheri ( oy , yuvan shankar raja ) 06 . danchave remix ( ride , hemachandra ) 07 . egire ( konchem ishtam konchem kashtam , shankar ehsaan loy ) 08 . kalavaramaye madilo ( kalavaramaye madilo , sharreth vasudevan ) 09 . yenno yenno ( kavya\u2019s diary , manu ramesan ) 10 . kadile padam ( banam , manisharma )\nif you don ' t go by the media created hype around new generation films , there were many unconventionally written and directed movies that released in early 2010 . the first of such movies was td dasan std vi b . although a good movie , it is not actually a new generation film .\nopinions expressed at or through this site are the opinions of the individual authors and commentators and may not reflect the opinions of creativez technologies . event , film release , album launch , concerts , shows etc . dates and times are subject to change -

out presentations at international buddhist film festival events in los angeles and the san francisco bay area , and is being distributed to us theaters via matson films . the film has run in over 20 cities to date , and has bookings through the end of the year . director mickey lemle has attended a number of the opening weekends around the country , including a birthday tribute to the dalai lama , with tibetan musician tsering dorjee bawa performing along with a tibetan children\u2019s chorus before the screening .\n\u201cessential viewing for anyone who cares about the fate of the mountain region and the legacy of the dalai lama\u2026 the film is notable for its focus on an extraordinary year in tibet\u2019s history and on tibetans themselves\u2014historians , writers , activists , all eloquent , impassioned and living in exile . \u201d \u2013sheri linden , the hollywood reporter\nhowever , the industry still doesn\u2019t get the credit it deserves , and although it has amassed more attention it recent times , when it comes to indian cinema as a whole , the malayalam industry still tends to fly under the radar . many have desperately clung to bollywood as the be all and end all of indian cinema . and yet all it really takes is one film , the right film , to open up a whole new world of cinema which is refreshing as it is familiar . take , for example , anjali menon\u2019s bangalore days , which is a great foray into malayalam cinema \u2013 it\u2019s a whole new cinematic world to explore .\nask anyone who\u2019s even remotely familiar with the industry , and they will tell you there is something distinctly different and special about malayalam movies being made today . if regional cinema is the underdog of indian cinema , with bollywood hogging the limelight , then malayalam cinema is no doubt the underdog of those regional industries . the kerala - based film industry is becoming increasingly well reputed for producing some of the best movies in the country year after year , alongside marathi cinema which is similarly serving up some truly groundbreaking films . the malayalam film industry is turning more and more heads for the technical quality of their movies alongside innovative storytelling and exploration of socially relevant issues .\nthe film maintains high standard as far as the look and the feel is concerned . shamdat captures the past ( mostly outdoors , a lakeside hangout of the three chums ) in hazy form giving it a mushy music video feel . on the other hand , the present - - the cfl lit corridors of an it conglomerate - - is bright .\ntibet in song is both a celebration of traditional tibetan folk music and a harrowing journey into the past fifty years of cultural repression inside chinese - controlled tibet . director and former tibetan political prisoner , ngawang choephel , weaves a story of beauty , pain , brutality and resilience , introducing tibet to the world in a way never before seen on film .\nthe 25th season of the pbs series pov opens on june 21 , 2012 with the broadcast of jennifer fox\u2019s my reincarnation ( check local listings for the exact time in your area ) . this film about namkhai norbu rinpoche and his son yeshi has been seen in over 20 countries , with a theatrical release in the us that has reached over 60 cities to date .\nle chhakka is an upcoming calcutta bangla commercial movie directed by raj chakraborty . the star cast includes hero dev paired with heroine payel and actor / film - maker anindyo banerjee as the villain . others in the cast are rudranil ghosh , kanchan mullick , ritwick bhattacharya , kharaj mukherjee and partho . read all about the movie synopsis cast crew details . watch the free trailer of le chakka online .\nwalk with me had its theatrical premiere in august at the smith rafael film center in san rafael , california , and is reaching audiences through the innovative theater - on - demand platform gathr , which allows people to attract a screening to their town by signing up online , and when a threshold of signers has been reached , a screening is booked . some of these one - night events lead to regular week - long bookings at the theater . so far , the film has been shown in over 60 venues , with more scheduled in the coming months . the filmmakers , marc francis and max pugh , have attended several screenings , accompanied by monks and nuns from thich nhat hanh\u2019s organization , including a highly publicized group walking meditation from new york\u2019s union square to a screening at the rubin museum of art .\nfor me , it has been a very disappointing year . it started very promisingly with dev . d and then dilli 6 , but it later fazed out . these are the only two only film soundtracks , that are worth listening . if i was just to pick only a song from an album , then i find it very difficult to come up with top 10 , so here are my top 5 :\nbased on the novel an ( \u201csweet red bean paste\u201d ) by durian sukegawa , the film features tokue ( a quietly powerful performance by famed japanese actress kirin kiki ) , an elderly woman who offers to help sentaro ( masatoshi nagase ) , a young cook of dorayaki ( bean paste pancake , a much loved confection in japan ) , and there\u2019s just enough plot to take us through some very deep waters of japanese culture .\ngelek rimpoche was born into a privileged world in a tibet that no longer exists , and he has lived an extraordinary life spanning continents , customs , and cultures . framed by archival photos of old tibet taken by rimpoche\u2019s father in the 1930s and \u201940s , the film traverses the link between one man\u2019s job as a modern spiritual teacher and the impact of tibet\u2019s myths and practices on americans seeking direction in an increasingly complex world .\nthe film is a rare and intimate glimpse into the life of a young couple and their infant daughter during a time of great transition . locho and yama are nomadic herders who carve their existence from the land as their ancestors have for generations . but now , as traditional nomadic life confronts rapid modernization , summer pasture captures a family at a crossroads , ultimately revealing the profound sacrifice they will make to ensure their daughter\u2019s future .\nthe make - believe world of mythology can become convincing only when the costumes and weaponry on display have an element of novelty that whets the appetite of aficionados ; and fight sequences are woven into the narrative in such a manner that the ingenuity of the costumes and the weaponry becomes the usp in tackling the opponent . bahubali has an ample dose of this triangulation and it manifests in the gusto during the second half of the film .\nthe kolkata bengali movie industry seems to have a sudden craze for alternative lifestyles . the recent flick cha - e - chuti , in spite of being a film that should have stood up for its skillful making and freshness , nevertheless became popular in at least some , if not most , part because of its depiction of romantic love between two women in a way that is far from the subtle portrayal of similar feelings in nil nirjane ( get dvd ) .\nhindi film music , in my opinion , had a fantastic year . it was so good that i found really difficult to come up with a final top 10 songs list ! so , breaking usual tradition , besides the top 10 , i also have a 11 - 20 list that did not make it to my top 10 . another reason for this extension is that people tend to ask me the ones that did not make to the top 10 , in the comments section . besides , the 11 - 20 list adds justification to my choice of the composer ( s ) of the year , since that is not a mere result of being in one of the top 3 soundtracks or being a composer ( s ) of one of the top 3 songs . my choice of composer ( s ) of the year is more from the point of consistency , all through the year . after aamir in 2008 . amit trivedi continues to impress in 2009 , even if he had just one soundtrack and a solo song in another soundtrack . vishal bharadwaj was , as usual , in incredible form in kaminey , but the man who stole the year was a r rahman , with a soundtrack that elicited milliblog\u2019s first ever 300 word gushing review ! but , shankar ehsaan loy deserve the title of composer ( s ) of the year due to the sheer range of impressive songs they composed \u2013 5 out of the top 20 , to be specific .\nsharon dutta was pretty well - known for his advertising spots before he moved to directing full length feature films . his first bengali movie was the 2005 horror film raat barota panch ( 12 : 05 in the night ) starring paran bandyopadhyay , ananya chatterjee , anjana bose , aparajita ghosh das , ashok chakraborty , ipshita bakshi , kanchan mullick , sagnik chattopadhyay , shantilal mukhopadhyay and others . the music director for 12 : 05 is the famed alternative new - modern bengali songwriter - singer shilajit .\nthis is a beautifully filmed neo - realist work featuring very young monks in a rural buddhist monastery . they are suddenly left to their own devices when their abbot is called away during a time of violent conflict beyond the monastery\u2019s simple and calm environment . there are echoes here of the cup , uncle boonmee who could recall his past lives , and the silent holy stones , but the unique location in remote shan state and historic timing of golden kingdom offer a compelling case for this breakthrough film .\nif one were to view the phenomenal success of amish tripathi as the writer who re - created mythologies in a scientific way through the shiva trilogy , it would underline the fact that the present generation indeed laps it up when mythology is presented to them in an easy - to - swallow capsule . bahubali seems to have taken the leaf out of amish\u2019s success as a writer practicing mythology , to present to the indian viewers a film which may appear mythological but has kept the religious underpinnings on a tight leash .\nfilmed over three years , in thich nhat hanh\u2019s plum village monastery in rural france , and on the road in the usa , the film is a meditation on a community grappling with existential questions and the everyday routine of monastic life . with unprecedented access , walk with me goes deep inside this international zen buddhist community . as the seasons come and go , the monastics\u2019 pursuit of a deeper connection to themselves and the world around them is amplified by insights from thich nhat hanh\u2019s early journals , voiced by academy award - nominated actor benedict cumberbatch .\nthe film is a comprehensive update of the director\u2019s groundbreaking compassion in exile ( 1991 ) profile of the dalai lama , with an intimate look at the enduring good humor and gentle wisdom of his holiness , now eighty - one . addressing his own death , the dalai lama considers the challenges of the prospect of his reincarnation , with tibet still under chinese control ; his urgency and dedication come through powerfully . the last dalai lama ? was filmed on location in india and the us , and features vivid archival footage , with an original score by philip glass and tenzin choegyal ."]}

( once again , cinema treats hackers as essentially magic . )\nthat leaves money monster fairly toothless as an indictment of wall street , america , or capitalism as a whole . but foster isn ' t trying to send people away angry and ready for action . the characters ' most obvious agendas aren ' t necessarily hers , and she doesn ' t take every manifesto to heart . she and the screenwriters only reveal their hand in the funny , bitterly cynical ending , which touches on the way the public reacts to big media events and ugly human drama .\naustin asks leigh to grab a pen and paper so he can give her a little lesson about affiliate marketing , which he calls\nthe best , first way , and actually the best way , to make money online .\npremiering tonight at the grand palais in cannes , money monster follows lee gates , a wealthy financial talk show host ( george clooney ) , who is held hostage on his live tv show by a man ( jack o\u2019connell ) who lost his entire life\u2019s savings after falling victim to a corporate financial scheme that clooney promoted on his show . 36 year - old caitriona balfe plays diane , the financial company\u2019s communications director who has a moral awakening halfway through the film , when she realizes the extent of her boss\u2019s deceit and her role as a cog in the american money wheel . here , the leggy starlet talks about being dressed by louis vuitton , and what it\u2019s like to work with the stars in the jodie foster - directed film ."]}

film , she set out on the ambitious project of ahamlet adaptation with herself in the leading role . with svend gade and heinz schall she engaged twodirectors she had already worked with . erwin gepard was in charge of the script in which hamlet was portrayed as a woman . the reviews were ambivalent and criticized the falsification of shakespeare butpraised the acting of asta nielsen . nevertheless the premiere of hamlet in 1921 was a success . the film became a box office hit and was subsequently released in america . at the premiere of the restored german version in 2007 a new score composed by michael riessler was performed by lisma project .\nin france two loose adaptations , andr\u00e9 cayatte \u2019s les amants de v\u00e9rone ( 1949 ; \u201cthe lovers of verona\u201d ) and claude chabrol \u2019s oph\u00e9lia ( 1962 ) , captured essences of romeo and juliet and hamlet .\nclaire danes ( left ) and leonardo dicaprio as the title characters in baz luhrmann ' s 1996 film version of shakespeare ' s romeo and juliet .\n\u2014recorded on 68 -

star cast , finally collapsed under the weight of its own spectacle .\ndavid thompson\u2019s all the world\u2019s a screen : shakespeare on film , a bbc four arena documentary to be broadcast this weekend , makes the argument that laurence olivier\u2019s wartime henry v ( 1944 ) was the first really decent shakespeare movie . \u201cit took 50 years for his work to be turned into a truly cinematic experience , \u201d the documentary tells us . olivier himself was convinced that his film eclipsed everything that had come before it . he had finally found a way to make shakespeare cinematic . it helped that the film had an obvious topicality . it was a nationalistic , morale - boosting war movie which found a very receptive audience in wartime britain .\nthe most controversial aspect of the film has always been its extensive cuts - - about half the play ' s text . not only did olivier and his scriptwriter alan dent excise characters such as fortinbras , rosencrantz and guildenstern , but they removed entire soliloquies , reduced other speeches to a bare line or two , and even shuffled the order of certain scenes ; for example , the scene in which claudius and laertes plot hamlet ' s death was moved to follow the scene in the graveyard . however , at nearly 160 minutes olivier ' s\nfor instance , when he picks up the skull by the graveside , while we are given the opening lines of the speech , we are not told who yorick is , and gertrude ' s relationship with claudius , hamlet and the ghost is not disclosed until halfway through the closet scene , and that only in passing .\n( 1912 ) , also rediscovered in the late 20th century . a veteran shakespearean actor and lecturer on the chautauqua circuit , frederick warde , played the film\u2019s richard . he toured with the movie , providing appropriate recitations and commentary .\nearlier shakespeare adaptations had been hamstrung by their piety . they were often very stagy . in the early days of the twentieth century , several of the great actor - managers took their chances in front of the film cameras - but with very variable results .\nthat distilled the essence of the story . emulating the high culture of the com\u00e9die - fran\u00e7aise , french filmmakers organized a film d\u2019art movement that cast high - profile actors in adaptations of famous plays , a movement that was limited by its deference to the theatre .\n, sets the action in pre - tokugawa japan , where the aging warlord ichimonji hidetora divides his wealth between two of his ambitious sons ; the third son is banished for pointing out his father\u2019s foolishness . the film\u2019s formality and epic sweep serve beautifully to underline the shakespearean tragedy .\n* two short extracts from this film can be downloaded from the bfi ' s creative archive . note that this material is not limited to users in registered uk libraries and educational establishments : it can be accessed by anyone within the uk under the terms of the creative archive licence .\nthat said , although still fairly primitive - most scenes are still presented as single - shot tableaux - hamlet does at least make some use of the cinema ' s grammar . the camera occasionally moves , several scenes are shot on location , the ghost is conveyed through double exposure and there ' s even a brief instance of cross - cutting , as ophelia ' s corpse is discovered while laertes talks to claudius .\nat the end of the 19th and the start of the 20th centuries , when william shakespeare was becoming an academic institution , so to speak\u2014a subject for serious scholarly study\u2014a revolutionary search began in the world outside the universities for the means to present his great dramas in the new medium of film . pioneer french filmmakers had begun to produce primitive\n( i . e . , brief film clips of parading soldiers and umbrella dancers ) , which were screened between the live acts in vaudeville houses in london and new york city . among these early films was a remarkable production of 1899 ( still available ) by the london studio of the british mutoscope and biograph company : a scene from shakespeare\u2019s\nif you can\u2019t watch chimes at midnight , maybe look out for star trek vi : the undiscovered country . as that film reveals , snobbery about the bard extends even to the further reaches of the galaxy . as the klingon chancellor gorkon ( david warner ) insists , \u201cyou\u2019ve not experienced shakespeare until you have read him in the original klingon . \u201d\nhowever , olivier was not content to make a mere filmed play , but rather conceived the film in overtly cinematic terms . the austere design of the castle set , the winding camerawork and the low - key , almost expressionist lighting all contribute to the image of the castle as a mental labyrinth . of particular note is desmond dickinson ' s deep focus cinematography , evidently inspired by\ntwo versions of shakespeare\u2019s most violent play , titus andronicus , appeared in 1999 as if to affirm that apocalypse would attend the turn of the century . the first of these , directed by christopher dunne , was described by its marketers as \u201ca savage epic of brutal revenge . \u201d the film is a g\u00f6tterd\u00e4mmerung marked by beheading , amputation , and stabbing , but shakespeare\u2019s language has been kept meticulously intact .\ncast : laurence olivier ( hamlet ) ; eileen herlie ( queen gertrude ) ; basil sydney ( king claudius ) ; jean simmons ( ophelia ) ; norman wooland ( horatio ) ; felix aylmer ( polonius ) ; terence morgan ( laertes ) ; peter cushing ( osric ) ; stanley holloway ( gravedigger ) ; john laurie ( francisco ) ; esmond knight ( bernardo ) ; anthony quayle ( marcellus ) ; niall macginnis ( captain ) ; harcourt williams ( player ) ; russell thorndike ( priest ) ; patrick troughton ( player king ) ; tony tarver ( player queen ) ; john gielgud ( voice of the ghost ) .\nthe second version , titus , was offered by the theatrical director taymor , who had staged the play off - broadway in 1994 . she collaborated with cinematographer luciano tovoli and others to make brilliant fellini - like images out of shakespeare\u2019s lurid melodrama . in the film taymor\u2019s haikulike montages blur the line between illusion and reality , making the savagery aesthetically bearable . anthony hopkins played titus , jessica lange a passionate tamora , and alan cumming the decadent and utterly villainous saturninus .\nis usually regarded as shakespeare ' s greatest play , both for its richness of language and its psychological and structural complexity . it is also his longest work , at over 3 , 900 lines ; a performance of the full text takes approximately four hours . clearly , the play presents unique challenges for adapting to film . sir laurence olivier ' s 1948 version still stands out from the pack as a coherently conceived interpretation of shakespeare and as a work of cinema .\noliver parker\u2019s othello ( 1995 ) paired a black actor , laurence fishburne , as a dynamic othello , with ir\u00e8ne jacob as a plucky desdemona , but the film as a whole\u2014despite branagh\u2019s menacing iago\u2014was disappointingly stagy . richard loncraine\u2019s richard iii ( 1995 ) presented ian mckellen as the evil richard in a 1930s london teetering on the edge of fascism . shakespeare\u2019s language works well with the suave cultural codes of high society before world war ii , while the whiff of decadence in the palace ballroom makes a perfect setting for the hoggish schemes of the master manipulator .\nto many critics , the very greatest shakespeare screen adaptation is orson welles\u2019 chimes at midnight , his \u201clament\u201d for a merrie england of decency , chivalry and humour that may never really have existed . falstaff ( played by welles himself ) is the unlikely hero of the film , whose script is pulled together from five different shakespeare plays . it is not a smooth piece of filmmaking at all . like almost all of welles\u2019 movies , it was dogged by difficulties with financiers . what it possesses , though , is a sense of innocence and nostalgia that is quite magical .\ntwo major versions of a midsummer night\u2019s dream , the first directed by adrian noble and the second by michael hoffman , were released in 1996 and 1999 . in noble\u2019s flawed film , the audience experiences the action through the eyes of a small boy who dreams about the play . this trope dates at least to jane howell\u2019s bbc televised production of titus andronicus ( 1985 ) , and it persists in julie taymor\u2019s titus ( 1999 ) . despite some sublime visual moments , noble\u2019s movie is unsatisfying\u2014neither transgressive enough in its homoerotic innuendos nor regressive enough to suit those who prefer a more innocent approach .\nwhen all is said and done , this flourishing body of work is a singular testament to shakespeare\u2019s universality and humanity . more than 400 years have passed since he put quill to paper , yet , centuries after he first brought them to life on the small outdoor stage near the river thames , shakespeare\u2019s scenes , characters , and poetry continue to fuel a rich industry for film , literary , and music scholars and critics . ultimately , of course , shakespeare\u2019s commercial value rests on his immeasurable ability , then and now , to captivate readers , music and theatre lovers , filmmakers , and moviegoers alike in his own \u201cstrong toil of grace . \u201d (\nexpressed high praise for olivier ' s interpretation of the role :\nlaurence olivier leaves no doubt that he is one of our greatest living actors . his rich , moving voice , his expressive face , make of the tortured dane a figure of deep and sincere tragedy .\nthe film ultimately won four academy awards : best picture , best actor ( olivier ) , best black and white art direction ( roger furse and carmen dillon ) , and best black and white costume design ( roger furse ) . it also received nominations for best supporting actress ( jean simmons ) , best score ( william walton ) and best director ( olivier ) .\none reason roman polanski\u2019s macbeth ( 1971 ) feels so chilling is the echoes it carries of the director\u2019s own life . he was enraged that the press tried to draw connections between the murder of his wife sharon tate by members of charles manson\u2019s \u201cfamily\u201d and the bloody events in shakespeare\u2019s play . nonetheless , he did acknowledge that the film reflected what he had experienced as a child in nazi -

setting or indeed much indication of who is actually speaking when the intertitles appear on screen . these are somewhat sketchy , glossing over many key themes of the play and virtually demanding at least some degree of prior familiarity from the audience .\nthat aside , it ' s a competent production , helped by sir johnston forbes - robertson ' s charismatic performance in the title role ( he was pushing sixty at the time , but he looks a fair bit younger ) - his facial expressions and lively body language help overcome the limitation of the lack of a soundtrack , though this is still keenly felt as there is little overall attempt at reinventing the play for the cinema .\ncredit to mario g for assembling this list . cloned it to try to watch em all .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 / / en\nurltoken\nit\u2019s not every day that you get to see bard\u2019s plays in a native language or chekov\u2019s characters speaking your mother tongue . however , of late , due to efforts of some theatre enthusiasts , plays written in other languages are being translated and staged regularly for the marathi audience .\nshakespearean plays have been adapted deftly by many indian playwrights and distinguished theatre groups .\nhe is one of the rare writers who have captured the imagination of generations altogether , but veteran lyricist gulzar today said\nan old man\nhas always lived deep inside his consciousness .\nprime minister narendra modi\u2019s tweet that \u201c every single village of india now has access to electricity\u201d , has apparently not taken into account large swathes of rural areas which are still in darkeness . the government deems a village\nelectrified\nif 10 % of its households as well as public places such as schools and health centres , have power . while all revenue villages in the country have been electrified , the hamlets under them are yet to get a power connection\nopposition leader ramesh chennithala and former kpcc president v m sudheeran will visit attapadi on saturday to meet the parents of madhu , the tribal youth who was lynched by a group of people on thursday .\nthe telangana cabinet has decided to bring out a new legislation aimed at according panchayat status to all tribal hamlets and special panchayat status to koya and gond habitations in the state . the proposed act will also ensure accountability for the sarpanch and other officials .\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 bennett , coleman & co . ltd . all rights reserved . for reprint rights : times syndication service\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 bennett , coleman & co . ltd . all rights reserved . for reprint rights : times syndication service\nmight well have been accompanied by some variation of live music , sound effects , phonograph records , intertitles , recitations , or supplementary lectures , as filmmakers sought to compensate for a silenced shakespeare .\nprofessor mark thornton burnett explaining why people should not be dissuaded from watching translations of shakespeare ' s works , because though he wrote exclusively in english , the stories , conflicts , and emotions are retained across cultures .\ncineasts in france , the united states , italy , and germany soon began making other shakespeare movies . in 1900\nfrancis x . bushman ( romeo ) and beverly bayne ( juliet ) in a silent version of romeo and juliet ( 1916 ) , directed by francis x . bushman and john w . noble .\nmeanwhile , in brooklyn , new york , the vitagraph production company had moved the camera off the stage and into the city parks . brooklyn\u2019s prospect park served as one location for\nthe americans , like their european counterparts , began making longer movies for the grander \u201cpalace\u201d movie houses that were putting the old nickelodeons and penny gaffs out of business . one of the earliest feature -

( swedish director victor sj\u00f6str\u00f6m used the americanized version during his career in hollywood . ) i put the film in context by pointing out three important historical aspects of the film . first , it was the first film made from script to screen by the newly formed mgm studio , formed in 1924 from the merger of goldwyn productions , metro , and louis b . mayer pictures . ( two earlier releases by mgm were norma shearer vehicles which originated at mayer . ) second , it was probably the film that cemented lon chaney\u2019s stardom , after his breakthrough role as quasimodo in the 1922 hunchback of notre dame . starting in 1912 , chaney had been in well over 100 films before hunchback , many of them shorts and nearly all of them supporting roles . third , he who gets slapped was seastrom\u2019s second american film after name the man in 1923 , and a distinct improvement on that first effort .\n\u201csyncopation\u201d is available on both blu - ray and standard dvd , and at around $ 20 , is certainly reasonably - priced . if this disc sells well , perhaps cohen will be encouraged to produce more jazz dvds . only next time , cohen can leave off the feature\u2014the shorts are much more valuable !\ntechnologically , this was quite daring for an early sound film , and the actual shot\u2014which basically looks up washington\u2019s dress\u2014probably raised the eyebrows of a few local censors .\nthe first - rate package delivers a major added delight to complement the remastered film . nine short jazz films showcase the early talents of duke ellington , billie holiday , cab calloway , hoagy carmichael , louis armstrong , bessie smith , and artie shaw . this compilation of film shorts provides an additional 90 minutes of true jazz entertainment .\nso far i have seen four films in two days and plan to see five more before the festival ends tomorrow night . that means that so far i\u2019ve sat through the short festival prologue film that announces its sponsors four times . each year we have a different little prologue film . this year director meg hamel and her team found a snappy promotional film for wisconsin that looks like it was made in the late 1950s or early 1960s . its slogan is \u201cwe like it here ! \u201d and it features not only our famous dairy and other farm products but also things which are fast disappearing from local industry\u2013like cars and tractors . i\u2019m not sure how i\u2019ll feel about this little film after watching it nine times , but so far it\u2019s amusing .\nduring the q & a , spike lee reminded us that some initial reviews of the film ( here shown in a gorgeous 35mm print ) had warned that the film could arouse racial tensions . odie henderson has charted the alarmist tone of many critiques . lee insisted , as he has for years , that he was asking questions rather than positing solutions . \u201cwe wanted the audience to determine who did the right thing . \u201d he added that the film was , at least , true to the tensions of new york at the time , which were\u2013and still are\u2013unresolved .\nperhaps no young filmmaker better demonstrates the impact that roger\u2019s support can have on a career than ramin bahrani . roger saw his first feature , man push cart , at sundance in 2006 and invited it and the filmmaker to the \u201coverlooked film festival\u201d that april . ( roger\u2019s sundance review is here . ) the film then played other festivals , notably venice and our own madison - based wisconsin film festival . it won several awards , including an independent spirit award for best first feature . in october roger gave the film a more formal review , awarding it four stars . man push cart never got a wide release , and it certainly didn\u2019t make much money . still , quite possibly the high profile provided by roger\u2019s attention allowed bahrani to move ahead with his career .\nthere aren\u2019t any villains in ann hui\u2019s a simple life , a film we first saw in vancouver back in 2011 . roger had hoped to bring it last year , but ann couldn\u2019t come , as she was working on her upcoming release , the golden era . this year she was free to accompany the film that had a special meaning for roger at that point in his life .\nfor a little bibliography . ) for more on art cinema and its commitments to realism and open endings , see my essay , \u201cthe art cinema as a mode of film practice , \u201d in\na late addition to the program was the foreign - language oscar winner departures . steve jarchow , one of the heads of regent entertainment , is a madison native , and he appeared after the film for a lively question - and - answer session . regent has other forthcoming films in the festival\u2019s schedule , including tokyo sonata , which we blogged about from the palm springs international film festival .\na jazz trumpeter tries to woo a fellow musician in mourning for her dead lover , and sets up a band in an attempt to bring them closer together . covering a quarter - century of american \u201csyncopated\u201d music ( ragtime , jazz , swing , blues , and boogie boogie ) , syncopation features music from the turn of the 20th century through prohibition , the great depression , and the outbreak of wwii . featuring jazz greats benny goodman , charlie barnet , gene krupa , harry james , and more . includes selected\njazz shorts\nfrom the cohen film collection as bonus material .\nwhile \u201cwhiplash\u201d would be a notable film purely for teller and simmons\u2019 performances , it reaches a different level when one considers the execution of its tempo . editor tom cross and cinematographer sharone meir often put us right on stage with andrew and fletcher , cutting and panning in rhythm with the beat of the drum . it is captivating , to say the least , particularly in a climax that produces more tension than any action film or thriller this year . the title refers to a song played multiple times throughout chazelle\u2019s film . it could also refer to that sense of wowed exhaustion you\u2019ll feel when it\u2019s over .\nalthough roger was occasionally criticized for supposedly lowering the tone of film reviewing by participating in a television series , he and partner gene siskel regularly tried to promote indie and foreign films that didn\u2019t get wide attention . roger did the same in his written reviews , and ebertfest was originally known as the \u201coverlooked film festival . \u201d inevitably it was shortened by many attendees to \u201cebertfest , \u201d and eventually that name became official . it reflects the wider range of films that came to be included , with the silent - film screening and frequent showings of 70mm prints of films like my fair lady that were hardly overlooked .\namong the guests at this year\u2019s e - fest was barry c . allen . for over a decade barry was executive director of film preservation and archival resources for paramount . that meant that he had to find , protect , and preserve the film and television assets of the company\u2014including not just the paramount - labeled product but libraries that paramount acquired . most notable among the latter was the republic pictures collection .\nthe problem bahrani faces is that the film has to give us personal information about william while retaining tact and respect for characters\u2019 integrity . for william to open up into a tarantino - style confession would tear the movie apart ; even a quiet moment of sobbing vulnerability is too indiscreet here . the film needs its tokens , however awkward they may seem as narrative devices , to keep faith with its people .\nstreamline is the official blog of filmstruck , a new subscription service that offers film aficionados a comprehensive library of films including an eclectic mix of contemporary and classic art house , indie , foreign and cult films .\nwrote that\nby hiring a trio of knockabout comedians , mr . de sylva has given it all the advantages of a burlesque show . . . everything is noisy , funny and in order .\nmerman\nrolls though it with the greatest gusto , giving it a shake and a gleam and plenty of syncopation . . . the merman hangs bangles on any song that comes her way .\nat the start of the film , you see the names of the actors scroll up as\nin front of the camera\nand the crew as well as\nbehind the camera\nbefore the name of the movie finally appears .\nbest remembered for plodding prestige pictures like \u201cthe life of emile zola\u201d ( 1937 ) , movies james agee characterized in the nation as a \u201chigh - minded , high - polished m\u00e9lange of heavy \u2018touches\u2019 and \u2018intelligent\u2019 performances , \u201d dieterle has been typecast as a snobbish martinet . still , he has a few surprises in his lengthy r\u00e9sum\u00e9 , and \u201csyncopation , \u201d out on blu - ray and dvd in a beautiful digital restoration from cohen media , is one .\n\u201cto the early fan , jazz was known as \u2018syncopated music\u2019 because of all the changes in the elements as it was being performed . nowadays , jazz fans are more sophisticated ; they are aware of syncopation as it unfolds . a good example is provided by the 1940s glenn miller orchestra playing \u2018american patrol , \u2019 a march where a key change occurs in the middle of the orchestration . you hear an alteration of the normal , a kind of surprise . \u201d\nlife itself was picked up for theatrical distribution by magnolia pictures and will receive a summer release , followed by a showing on cnn . ( scott foundas reviewed the film favorably for variety , as did todd mccarthy for the hollywood reporter . )\nas an early - era jazz movie , syncopation falls within the storyline traditions of other 1940s films with settings in new orleans and narrative emphases on the historical emergence and rise of jazz performers and bands . two examples are birth of the blues ( 1941 ) and new orleans ( 1947 ) . both are classics primarily because of their great jazz numbers and performers \u2014 bing crosby and mary martin in the former , and louis armstrong and billie holiday in the latter .\nbarry is a true film fan . he has reread brownlow\u2019s the parade\u2019s gone by many times and retains his love for classic cinema . the film that converted him to foreign - language cinema was , as for many of his generation , children of paradise , but he retains a fondness for juliet of the spirits , the lady killers , and other mainstays of the arthouse circuit of his ( and my ) day . he\u2019s proudest of his work preserving john wayne\u2019s pre - stagecoach films .\nin 1955 i saw this syncopation on the million dollar movie run channel wor , i believe . i was 11 years old . the movie goes out with an amazing solo by drummer gene krupa . i was hooked on the spot . that was a monday and i watched the repeats from tuesday till friday of that week just to see gene play his animalistic , but very musical , solo again and again ( no video tape , no recording options for me ) .\nboth the film and al - monsour thoroughly charmed the audience . barker interviewed her afterward , and she revealed that , not surprisingly , the making of the film was touched by the same sort of repression that it portrays . women are not allowed to work alongside men in saudi arabia , so al - monsour had to hide in a van while shooting on location . given that there is no cinema infrastructure in the country , the film was a saudi arabian - german co - production , with arabic and german names mingling in the credits . we also learned that it has since become legal for saudi girls to ride bicycles . perhaps someday filmmaking will become more common there , and male and female crew members can work openly together .\nsince so many scenes have consisted of a flurry of intensified techniques , simple over - the - shoulder reverse shots might let the excitement level drop . so a new optical device aims to deliver fresh impact in one of the film\u2019s quietest moments .\nthe introductions and q & a sessions for most of the films , as well as the morning panel discussions , have been posted on ebertfest\u2019s youtube page . program notes for each film are online ; see this schedule and click on the title .\ni was joined for the post - film discussion by michael phillips of the chicago tribune , and we talked with donahue and winokur while miller sold the group\u2019s cds and dvds in the festival shop . they revealed that this new score had been commissioned by the telluride film festival and that it was a project that appealed to their taste for off - beat films . there were many questions from the audience , and we suspect that the alloy orchestra will continue to be a regular feature of the festival .\ngreat jazz music but very hokey , old fashioned plot . this is a beautiful restoration in blu ray but the film is a disappointment for me . . not a gem but i guess worth seeing especially if you like jazz . . nice extras included .\ngoodbye solo is set in bahrani\u2019s hometown , winston - salem , north carolina . it deals with a genial senegalese cab - driver who decides to befriend a prickly white man who he suspects intends to commit suicide . beautifully shot , the film is to winston - salem what collateral is to los angeles , and the final scene in the autumnal great smoky mountains is gorgeous . it\u2019s a moving tale , and one which manages to be emotionally uplifting without falling into the trap of solving all its characters\u2019 problems and becoming a feel - good film .\nthe only other time i\u2019ve seen this film was at a two - day conference , \u201cgarrel \u00e9ternel , \u201d held in dublin in june 2001 as an immediate follow - up to the four - day \u201cfor ever godard\u201d symposium held at london\u2019s tate modern , and on that occasion i judged it voyeuristically intrusive ; the information that seberg permitted and apparently authorized the intrusion doesn\u2019t entirely reverse my judgment . it\u2019s true that we occasionally see seberg smiling and relatively happy in the film , but the overall misery that we witness makes me regard this film as garrel\u2019s version of the passion of joan of arc , without the trial or any historical context\u2014unless , that is , one views garrel\u2019s camera as one of the inquisitors . what emerges is often shattering and sometimes beautiful , but whether or not it\u2019s decent remains for me an open question .\nstaking so much on social allegory , the film sacrifices characterization . characters tend to stand for social roles and attitudes rather than stand on their own as individuals . the actors\u2019 performances , especially their line readings , keep the roles fresh , though , and the film still looks magnificent . i was struck this time by the extravagance of its visual style . in almost every scene lee tweaks things pictorially through angles , color saturation , slow - motion , short and long lenses , and the like\u2013extravagant noodlings that may be the filmic equivalent of street graffiti .\nwhat gives the film a more episodic organization than frozen river , i think , and what gives it a greater sense of \u201cdailiness , \u201d is that it lacks deadlines . there\u2019s relatively little time pressure on the action , except for ale\u2019s sense that he\u2019s getting close to having enough money for the van . chop shop \u2019s refusal of hollywood\u2019s ticking clock seems to me to confirm the observation , made by geoff andrew and j . j . murphy , that in some respects american indie film is located midway between classical narrative cinema and \u201cart cinema . \u201d\nroger did not live to see the documentary devoted to his life and based on his popular memoir of the same name , life itself . it premiered in january at this year\u2019s sundance film festival . he participated in its making , however , encouraging director steve james ( whose 1994 documentary hoop dreams roger had championed ) to film him during the final four months of his life . some of this candid footage reveals the painful and exhausting treatments roger underwent , but much of it stresses his resilience and the support of chaz and the rest of his family .\nbarker had brought with him a surprise guest , capote \u2018s director , bennett miller , whose appearance had not been announced in advance . he discussed how he and scriptwriter dan futterman learned that there was a second , rival capote film in the works , infamous ( 2006 ) , which also dealt with the period when the author was researching in cold blood . miller and futterman decided to press ahead , a wise move in that their film drew more attention than did infamous . much of the discussion was devoted to hoffman\u2019s performance and his acting style in general .\nas you might expect from someone who has mastered stand - up , writing ( the excellent zombie spaceship wasteland ) , tv acting , and film acting , oswalt stressed the need for young people to grab every opportunity to work . he enjoys doing stand - up ; with no need to adjust to anybody else , it\u2019s \u201cthe last fascist post in entertainment . \u201d but he also likes working with other actors in the collaborative milieu of shooting film . he insists on not improvising : \u201cdo all the work before you get on camera . \u201d i was surprised at how quickly young adult was shot\u2014one month , no sets . oswalt explained that one aspect of his character in the film , a guy who customizes peculiar action figures , was based on sillof , a hobbyist who does the same thing and sells the results . oswalt talks about sillof and roger ebert here .\ncooper at age nine had major roles in 1931\u2032s the champ and skippy , and was the first child actor to receive an oscar nomination for best actor in a leading role for the latter . he first gained attention in the \u201cour gang\u201d series of film shorts about a precocious group of mischievous children .\nunhappy and frustrated , johnny quits and forms his own band , returning to new york city . kit , who\u2019s been working there for a music producer , joins the band for a rousing piano number . famous singer connee boswell , aglow in a glimmering white ball gown , sings a bluesy rendition of \u201cunder a falling star . \u201d thus , an ebullient johnny has achieved his dream of becoming a syncopating jazz impresario . he and kit reunite . a contextualized jam session montage with jazz greats charlie barnet , benny goodman , harry james , and gene krupa brings syncopation to a close .\nin the early days of ebertfest , roger personally introduced every film at this five - day event , which took place this year from april 23 to 27 . he would be onstage for the discussions and question sessions after each screening , often joined by directors , actors , or friends in the industry .\nwhy not just call this an italian variant of that broad tradition of naturalism or verismo or \u201cworking - class realism\u201d that we find in many national cinemas ? in france there was the work of andre antoine ( e . g . , la terre , 1921 ) and jean epstein\u2019s coeur fidele ( 1923 ) and his lyrical barge romance la belle nivernaise ( 1923 ) . more famous are renoir\u2019s toni ( 1935 ) and the lower depths ( 1936 ) . ( recall that visconti was renoir\u2019s assistant on a day in the country , 1936 . ) in italy , there were harbingers too , not only the famous ones like four steps in the clouds ( 1942 ) but also the charming treno popolare ( 1933 ) . and japan gave us many instances in the 1930s , notably ozu\u2019s inn in tokyo ( 1935 ) and the only son ( 1936 ) .\n( 500 ) days plays by the book . tom and summer work for a greeting - card company , a satiric target only a little harder to hit than the pentagon . as in the movies mentioned above , the cutting is intent on making sure we see everybody deliver every syllable . ( what ever happened to offscreen dialogue ? did tv kill it ? ) ( sorry about the parentheses . ) the four - part script layout is as neat as embroidery : the first kiss at the photocopiers comes at 24 : 00 , the splitup comes at 47 : 00 , tom delivers his diatribe against the lies about love at about 72 : 00 , and the epilogue , with its fatal final line , finishes at 90 : 00 . yet i\u2019m not curmudgeon enough to despise a movie so desperate to be liked , and at last i found a film whose narration clicks along in syncopation with my little tally counter .\nnicolas pillai is the author of jazz as visual language : film , television and the dissonant image ( i . b . tauris , 2017 ) and the co - editor of new jazz conceptions : history , theory , practice ( routledge , 2017 ) . with tim wall and roger fagge , he is preparing an edited collection on late miles davis . he has published work on jazz and film in the soundtrack journal and darmstadt studies in jazz , 14 . he is currently working on chapters for the routledge companion to new jazz studies , the routledge companion to popular music history and heritage and the oxford history of jazz in europe .\nit\u2019s common for viewers to notice that mavis gary , the malevolent , disturbed main character of young adult , doesn\u2019t change or learn . \u201canti - arc and anti - growth , \u201d oswalt called the movie . i found the film intriguing because structurally , it seems to be that rare romantic comedy centered on the antagonist .\nfrom steven\u2019s q & a i went off to see goodbye solo , ramin bahrani\u2019s fifth film , and his third since coming to wider public attention with man push cart . roger ebert has been a champion of bahrani\u2019s work , and we\u2019ll be seeing his previous feature , chop shop , at ebertfest in a few weeks .\nthus , \u201csyncopation\u201d begins with a vivid montage that segues from a west african village to 1906 new orleans by way of the slave trade , the middle passage and the cotton fields . well - meaning , if condescending , the movie establishes a particular lineage . the music\u2019s founding father is modeled on king oliver and played by an uncredited rex stewart ( a cornetist with the duke ellington orchestra ) ; his hot solos inspire a young boy ( who grows into todd duncan , porgy in the original broadway production of \u201cporgy and bess\u201d ) and , through him , the inevitable white protagonists , jackie cooper and bonita granville .\nroger never reviewed the latter , but it is certainly the sort of film that he loved : a glimpse into a little - known culture by a first - time filmmaker with a progressive viewpoint . wadjda is remarkable as the first feature film made in saudi arabia , where there are no movie theaters . moreover , it was made by a woman , haifaa al - monsour , and tells the story of a little girl who defies tradition by aspiring to buy and ride a bicycle in a country where this , like women driving cars , was illegal . ( below , wadjda learns to ride a bicycle on a rooftop , hidden from public view . )\nby coincidence i recently saw a tv print of union depot ( warners , 1932 ) that had several minutes of the opening exposition lopped off . we who have turner classic movies don\u2019t realize how lucky we are . fortunately for film collectors , some stations , like barry\u2019s , retained the trims and put them back into the prints .\nthe more interesting parts of the film for me were manipulations of stereoscope - card images . by quickly alternating the right and left photos on the cards , jacobs creates some remarkable effects of apparent motion . ( david discussed a similar effect last year in his comments on capitalism : child labor . ) even with only two camera positions represented on the cards , at times an illusion of continuous movement is created , especially in a dramatic shot of ocean waves . there are portions of the image where the water seems to be flowing right to left in an unstopping stream . in other shots the camera seems to be gliding in an arc around the subjects . jacobs has been doing a lot of experimentation with creating an appearance of 3d using only regular film equipment and still photos , and i for one would have liked to see more of the stereoscope cards and a little less of the play with the edison shot . but that\u2019s just a quibble . it\u2019s a fascinating film , well worth seeing .\nlike lee , stone took the virginia theatre audience behind the scenes . he agreed with william friedkin , who was originally slated to do the film : \u201cthis is as close as you\u2019ll every come to frank capra . \u201d instead of using the shuffled time scheme of kovic\u2019s autobiography , friedkin advised that \u201cthis is good corn . write it straight through . \u201d hence the film breaks into distinct chapters , each about half an hour long and sometimes tagged with dates . they operate as blocks measuring phases of ron\u2019s conversion . like many filmmakers of his period , stone deliberately made each chapter pictorially distinct\u2013the low - contrast life - magazine colors of the opening parade versus the lava - like orange of the beachfront battle .\nroger leung takes ah - tao , his amah , or all - purpose servant , pretty much for granted . she feeds him , watches out for his health , cleans the apartment , even packs for his business trips . when he\u2019s not loping to and from his film shoot , he\u2019s impassively chowing down her cooking and staring at the tv . a sudden stroke incapacitates her , and now comes the first surprise . a conventional plot would show her resisting being sent to a nursing home , but she insists on going . having worked for roger\u2019s family for sixty years , ah - tao can\u2019t accept being waited upon in the apartment . so she moves to a home , where most of the film takes place .\na simple life is a very quiet film . ebertfest\u2019s highest - profile visitors brought along two of the noisiest movies of 1989 . it\u2019s the twenty - fifth anniversary of do the right thing ( roger\u2019s review ) and born on the fourth of july ( roger\u2019s review ) , and seen in successive nights they seemed to me to put the \u201cagitation\u201d into agitprop .\nlife itself was the opening night film . james has done a wonderful job of capturing the spirit of the book and in assembling archival footage and photographs , interspersed with new interviews . the result is anything but maudlin , with a candid treatment of roger\u2019s early struggles with alcoholism and an amusing summary of roger\u2019s prickly but affectionate relationship with his tv partner gene siskel .\nto say that realist traditions rely on conventions doesn\u2019t make them less worthwhile . chop shops seems to me quite a good film . nor would i deny that realist conventions do capture some aspects of real life . both the crisis structure and the threads - of - routines structure can be taken as realistic . sometimes our lives are in crisis , and at other times we do just plod along . but more stylized narrative forms can capture important aspects of reality too . the searchers , a work of high artifice , renders a portrait of a self - destructive racist that many of us recognize in the world outside the movie house . has any film better caught the adolescent yearning for romantic love and family stability than meet me in st . louis ?\nthis is fragile stuff , and docter handles it with tact . many movies want you to cry at the end , but up daringly invites you to indulge in its first ten minutes . it then spends the rest of its running time brightening your mood , so that the title could describe the film\u2019s emotional trajectory . it\u2019s one of my two favorite new movies i saw this summer .\nrope of sand one of william dieterle\u2019s last hollywood movies ( and possibly the craziest ) is a violent film noir from 1949 set in the kalahari desert . burt lancaster heads a cast that includes three veterans of \u201ccasablanca\u201d : peter lorre , claude rains and paul henreid , outstanding as the movie\u2019s crypto - fascist villain . on blu - ray , dvd and amazon instant video . ( olive )\nherewith , comments on a batch of titles . there are spoilers sprinkled throughout , but most of what i say won\u2019t harm your encounter with the film . because all my remarks amounted to an even longer blog than usual , i\u2019ve broken it into two parts . the next installment , coming up in a few days , talks about the taking of pelham 123 , public enemies , and inglourious basterds .\nhis second film , chop shop , brought him to ebertfest a second time , in 2009 . ( roger\u2019s program notes are here , and his four - star review here . ) at about that time , bahrani\u2019s third film , goodbye solo , was released . given its modest budget , it did reasonably well at the box office , grossing nearly a million dollars worldwide ( in contrast to man push cart \u2018s roughly $ 56 thousand ) . bahrani inched toward mainstream filmmaking with at any price ( 2012 ) , starring dennis quaid and zac efron , and he is currently in post - production on 99 homes , with andrew garfield , michael shannon , and laura dern . during the onstage discussion , he spoke of struggling to maintain a balance between the indie spirit of his earlier films and the more popularly oriented films he has recently made .\nanother artifact , reveling in a later form of jazz exoticism , \u201cthe connection\u201d \u2014 shirley clarke\u2019s 1962 adaptation of jack gelber\u2019s off broadway blockbuster \u2014 has been released by milestone on blu - ray and dvd . clarke\u2019s notably self - assured and elaborately self - conscious first feature made a splash at the cannes film festival and became a cause c\u00e9l\u00e8bre back home , banned for using an obscenity , here as a term for heroin .\nthrough a lens darkly thomas allen harris\u2019s history of african - american photography is both a chronicle of and testament to the power of self - representation . \u201cmr . harris\u2019s film is a family memoir , a tribute to unsung artists and a lyrical , at times heartbroken , meditation on imagery and identity , \u201d a . o . scott wrote in the times in august . on dvd , itunes and netflix . ( first run features )\nso far i\u2019ve seen some excellent films . agn\u00e8s varda\u2019s the beaches of agn\u00e8s was a salubrious way to start . it\u2019s an autobiography of sorts , built around visits to the various seaside locales that have played a big part in her life , from childhood visits to the resorts of belgium to an escape to corsica to the fishing village that featured in her first film , the 1954 short feature la pointe - courte to venice in los angeles . not that her tale is told chronologically . there are numerous diversions , such as meetings with the children who appeared in that first film , now grown old . there are clips from her films and encounters with friends . varda even managed to get the notoriously camera - shy chris marker to participate , though he appears only as a large cat cut - out , and his voice has been altered . ( see below . )\nwish - tv ran three movies a day , and two of those would be trimmed to 90 - minute air slots . that meant reducing the film , regardless of length , to 67 - 68 minutes . barry\u2019s job was to look for scenes to omit\u2014usually the opening portions\u2014and smoothly remove them . fortunately for purists , the late movie , running at 11 : 30 , was usually shown uncut , and then the station would sign off .\nthe celebration continued this year , though on a more upbeat note . some films were chosen from a list that roger had left to his wife chaz and festival organizer nate kohn , and they selected others in the same indie spirit . the tradition of showing a silent film with musical accompaniment was maintained . as always , the festival passes sold out , and the crowd , including many long - time regulars , enthusiastically cheered both films and filmmakers .\n\u201cin solaris , an even more original film , the challenge of adapting stanislaw lem\u2019s novel becomes the license and occasion for the most daring , provocative , and beautiful moments : the long journey along a freeway that approximates the hero\u2019s space voyage ; our introduction to the nearly - deserted satellite ; the terrifying resurrections of hari ; and the cryptically powerful closing shots , which synthesize the familiar with the unimaginable even more potently than kubrick\u2019s shifting strategies at the end of 2001 .\nstone pointed out that this film marked the beginning of his career as a figure of public controversy . like lee , he was attacked from many sides , and from then on he was a lightning rod . matt zoller seitz ( who\u2019s preparing a book on stone ) pointed out that at the period , he was astonishingly prolific . from 1986 ( salvador , platoon ) to 1999 ( any given sunday ) , he directed twelve features , about one a year .\nalso introduced in early scenes is 10 - year - old kit latimer , daughter of a prominent new orleans architect . reggie\u2019s mother , ella ( jessie grayson ) is the family housekeeper . ( a cautionary note : ella\u2019s character borders on the regrettable archetype known as \u2018mammyism . \u2019 ) like reggie , young kit also demonstrates an aptitude for improvised jazz , but her instrument is the piano . thus is set in motion the film\u2019s central theme , leading to its title .\nsomeday i must do a blog entry on tokens in narratives . any plot of some complexity seems to need physical objects that encapsulate dramatic forces , spread out information , or become emotion - laden motifs . the photograph is probably the most traditional one , but notes , diaries , rings , and so on are useful too . in goodbye solo , william\u2019s tokens move the drama of disclosure forward , and it\u2019s possible to object to the film\u2019s reliance on so many of them .\nebertfest , once known as the overlooked film festival , has always been keen to support american independent filmmaking . in previous incarnations , roger spotlighted junebug , tarnation , and other movies that flew below the multiplex radar . this year\u2019s crop was especially ripe . besides the fall and sita sings the blues , there were important documentaries like begging naked and trouble the water . in particular , two fiction features set me thinking about types of independent storytelling and how they might be considered realistic .\nstill , because postwar italian cinema had a big influence on other national cinemas , we have a prototype of the italian neorealist movie . the filmmaker focuses on the lives of working people . he emphasizes their daily routines and travails . the film will be shot on location ( at least in the exteriors ) and may use nonactors in some or all roles . bazin pointed out that we\u2019re likely to find an elliptical or unresolved plot . it\u2019s also very likely that we\u2019ll see washlines and women in slips .\nwhat screenwriter diablo cody has done , i think , is built the film around what most plots would consider the villain . so it\u2019s not surprising that there\u2019s no change ; villains often persist in their wickedness to the point of death . attaching our viewpoint to the traditional antagonist not only creates new comic possibilities , mostly based on mavis\u2019s growing desperation and her obliviousness to her social gaffes . the movie comes off as more sour and outrageous than it would if buddy and beth had been the center of the plot .\nthe perception of jazz heroes is influenced by many aspects , music being just one of them . in the final presentation of our conference , nicolas pillai looks at the media representation of trumpeter miles davis in his later years , and describes \u201cthe dissonant image\u201d of his appearances in film , television drama , music videos , fashion magazines and tv advertising . he considers the industry networks which formed miles\u2019 multi - media personality , taking into account the trumpeter\u2019s own influence on his public image , discussing gesture , speech and costume .\nstill , the plot is decently engaging , and there\u2019s a taut , unpredictable siege in the desert . that long sequence displays a disciplined interplay of optical viewpoints , a sense of constantly revised tactics , a new aspect of james\u2019s leadership style , and nice details about sharing juice boxes . in another era , the hurt locker would have been a studio picture in the vein of anthony mann\u2019s bleak men in war . i suppose it shows that yesterday\u2019s genre film , executed with conviction and a certain edginess , can become today\u2019s art movie .\nroger noted that when he first saw frozen river , he wanted to bring it to his festival , but then it became the very opposite of an overlooked movie . it has grossed $ 4 . 3 million worldwide , a very healthy amount for a small - budget film without big stars . it won eleven national award s and was nominated for fourteen others , including a best original screenplay oscar . by now , you\u2019ve probably seen it . i had been away during its madison run , so i was happy to catch up with it .\nas for plot points , chop shop has them . ( at about 15 minutes , the zone of the inciting incident , ale declares his intention to buy the van . at about 30 minutes he discovers that isamar is turning to prostitution . ) likewise , the threaded routines yield poetic motifs , such as the pigeons that are carefully established early in the film . bahrani\u2019s plotting is meticulous , and it highlights the paradox of realism : it takes effort and calculation to \u201ccapture reality . \u201d de sica was said to have endlessly rehearsed the boy in bicycle thieves .\nnaturally there are passages concerning varda\u2019s late husband , jacques demy , including some candid on - set photos and footage of a very young catherine deneuve in costume . we see varda strolling around an exhibition of her photographs of french movie stars and mourning their deaths , having at 80 outlived most of them . it\u2019s a rambling film and yet somehow all hangs together , with self - deprecating humor , nostalgia , wacky juxtapositions , and moving moments as the director visits old haunts and friends . it was a real crowd - pleaser at the screening i attended , and deservedly so .\nthe quietness of the film is exemplary . it\u2019s an effort to make a drama out of everyday happenings\u2014people working , eating , sharing a home , getting sick , worrying about money , helping friends , and all the other stuff that fills most of our time . the two central characters are , as roger\u2019s review puts it , \u201ctwo inward people\u201d who are simple and decent . yet ann\u2019s script and direction , and the playing of deanie yip tak - han and andy lau tak - wah , give us a full - length portrait of a relationship in which each depends on the other .\nbarry told me quite a lot about conservation and restoration , but just as fascinating was his account of his earlier career . a lover of opera , literature , and painting since his teenage years , he was as well a passionate movie lover . an indianapolis native , he thinks he saw his first movie in 1949 at the vogue , now a nightclub . he projected films in his high school and explored still photography . he was impressed when a teacher told him : \u201cif you want to make film , learn editing . \u201d soon he was in a local tv station editing syndicated movies .\nmaking us side with the villain also allows oswalt , as matt freehauf , to play a more active role as mavis\u2019s counselor . in a more traditional film , he\u2019d probably be rewritten to be a friend of buddy\u2019s . here he\u2019s the wisecracking voice of sanity , reminding mavis of her selfishness while still being enough in thrall to high - school values to find her fascinating . as in shakespearean comedy , though , the spoiler is expelled from the green world that she threatens . it\u2019s just that here , we go in and out of it with her and see that her illusions remain intact . maybe we also share her sense that the good people can be fairly boring .\nresolutely unhollywood in its setting , theme , and characters\u2014deglamorized women , especially\u2014 frozen river still adheres to classical script structure . we have characters with goals , encountering obstacles and entering into conflicts , and the turning points come at the standard junctures . the ending is a resolution , although not an entirely happy one . in the course of the plot , suspense is built up at many points . will ray and lila be caught by the state troopers who grimly monitor their comings and goings ? what will become of that abandoned baby ? the film is a sturdy example of how classic principles of construction can be applied to subject matter that is worlds away from our prototype of hollywood filmmaking ."]}

i liked the occasional movie references that were placed by the director , especially the one of surya s / o krishnan . - suriya\u2019s performance is the highlight of the movie . he plays two characters in the movie . the character of shiva is my favorite because he is cool and suave . he has a certain haunting aura around him but at the same\u2026\na petty conman deft at scheming & stealing has a near -

man and even after the entry of the supernatural elements , a consistency is maintained in his character graph and the director deserves a pat on his back . masss is definitely an addition to his list of engaging films as he performs , emotes , dances , fights and romances with the ease of the pro , that he is . venkat prabhu seems to have gelled well with suriya , and it shows on screen . to experience more on what suriya has done in the film , just head to a theater nearby . we aren ' t writing anything more about his role !\nyuvan shankar raja is another heavyweight in the film along with suriya , and his background score does all that is required - elevate , emotionally move and resonate . the masss theme is used at the apt moments to aid the screen presence of the lead man . among the songs , poochandi is an enjoyable little sequence despite being dark and grungy . it is a tribute to michael jackson and suriya ' s dance moves are exemplary . piravi comes at a beautiful moment and quite a lot happens during its course . the film ' s eq ( emotional quotient ) is at a peak during piravi and it is easily the best song . the good thing is , both these songs aren ' t just ' song sequences ' but are integrated with interesting scenes .\nthe film ' s run time is a fairly crisp 2 hours 30 minutes and it is a packed affair with just a few blips along the way . editor praveen knows how vp ' s films work and being his 50th film , the experienced professional has definitely been watchful . kudos to dop r . d . rajasekhar too for his 25th film , and he must have been required to keep the vfx part too , in mind , while canning many scenes . the vfx and cg works are a major factor in the film , and all the technicians who have worked on this aspect must be lauded . given all the deadlines that the team must have faced , the overall vfx work definitely isn ' t tacky .\nwatch out for the end -

'\nrationing or not , 1951 was a big year for celebrations . as is well known , this was festival of britain year and events were held up and down the uk . these festivities were meant to herald the arrival of a new age in british scientific and technological innovation , and in cultural success . with the dark days of the second world war behind it , the festival was to be the start of britain ' s recovery . but history and the achievements of the past were not left entirely behind and many historical pageants were held that year .\nit is often forgotten that the civic week and the pageant held in carlisle that year were the city\u2019s contributions to the nationwide festival . here is our interviewee , bill scott , talking about the excitement of that year when he was just eighteen years old , just click on the arrow to hear him :\nthe iconic image of edward i , which is now forever associated carlisle\u2019s pageants ( even the most recent pageant parades ) , has the festival of britain logo printed on the bottom right hand corner ; but it is easy to overlook this small detail .\nthe famous image of edward i arriving in carlisle in 1307 , which was used to advertise the 1951 carlisle pageant .\nthe artist responsible for this image was frederick george meekley who worked as a graphic artist for the metal box company in carlisle . he was also a prolific and talented painter whose watercolours were regularly exhibited in the city and elsewhere . his best - known works were landscapes of cumbria .\nmeekley ' s well - known poster image of edward was , very sadly , one of his last creations as he died later that year . his work can also be seen on a souvenir tin produced in tandem with carlisle ' s 1951 civic week and pageant . this item is now very collectable ( check out ebay and see for yourselves ! )\nthe visit by princess margaret to carlisle during civic week is well documented . her photograph and descriptions of her fashion choices during the week were splashed all over the local press . her attendance in carlisle also meant that the city ' s festivities made it into the national newspapers , spreading the news about carlisle ' s festival contribution even wider . however , those people who recall her time in carlisle can tell us some little known or at least , often - forgotten facts about this time .\nprincess margaret photographed visiting the industrial exhibition . carr\u2019s biscuit tins can just be seen in the background on the display .\ncarlisle really went to town with evening festivities during the 1951 civic week . every evening there was a searchlight display by the armed services with massed bands , displays of physical training , riding exhibitions by cavalry officers and even \u2018cutlass swinging displays\u2019 performed by men from h . m . s . nuthatch . the war may have been over , but people were still keen to see the forces in action , albeit from a comfortable seat in the grandstand !"]}

well , this is a good experience actually . when i worked under him , i was exposed to the film sets for the first time . i was so excited . i was an observer in his film . i did not have any idea about films . it was under him that i gained knowledge about films . i expressed my wish to become an actor to him . he said that at that moment it was not possible but he allowed me to be on his sets and observe . that helped me a lot . the life of an actor is like a script . see in his second film , i finally got the chance to work with him . this has indeed being a good journey .\nroy is an english , scottish gaelic and french name of norman origin . this family name originated from the normans , meaning\nnorthman\nin several scandinavian languages , who were descendants of norse vikings from denmark , norway and iceland . the derivation is from the word rey or roi , meaning\nking\n, and in medieval times was used as a nickname either for one who behaved in a regal fashion , or who had earned the title in some contest of skill . it also appears in scottish gaelic , from the word ruadh , meaning red and galizan as roi . roy can also be found in india , a variant of the name\nrai\n, which was a historical title of honour in india conferred by the british raj .\nas sonika shot to fame , her personal life too was speculated about . until recently , she would openly profess her love for shaheb bhattacherjee . though they were considered the ` it ' couple of kolkata , there were rumours of trouble in paradise in recent times . sonika would often be photographed with vikram and their friends suggest the two had grown close over the last couple of months . \u201csonika used to inspire us to become health conscious . she used to set targets like 500 crunches a day on our whatsapp group . i can ' t believe this , \u201c said indrasish roy . years back , at a beauty pageant , sonika was asked about a quote that left profound impact on her . \u201cnothing can stop what your destiny holds for you , \u201c she had said back then . no one had any idea that affirmation would come like it did .\n\u201cthe script of durga sohay is outstanding . the way all the characters have been mounted in the film is praiseworthy . each actor has his own space and carries the film forward . only recently , neerja and pink were feted at the 64th national film awards and this only means we too are in need of women - centric films . a woman ' s contribution in a man ' s life is unparalleled . the driving force in my life is my mother , \u201c said indrasish , who plays subho in the film . subho is married to manasi ( tonushree chakraborty ) and the two make for a lovey - dovey couple . \u201che is a positive man who tries to see the good in any person . i must admit that after working with arindamda , my approach towards life has changed . i have become more responsible as a human being , \u201c said indrasish .\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthis film and my character have many layers . tajuda is a brilliant director and i have worked in projects where he\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdd written the script . i was about to act in a play directed by him but that , i guess , will happen later . indrasish and i are good friends off screen and that should help us portray the characters better , \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd said sohini , who is dubbing for selfie , starring soumitra chatterjee , right now .\ntollyplanetbangla -\ndirector ranjan ghosh ( his first movie ) is good . his first time effort pays off quite well . mayookh bhaumik ' s music is praise - worthy . the entire cast has performed well , especially abir chatterjee and raima sen . indrasish makes you feel that his future as an actor is bright . on the whole hrid majharey is a must watch film . don ' t miss this film for anything . it will surely touch your heart as it has touched ours .\ngaurav : indrasish and i were the first to reach . and we were waiting for everyone to arrive . soon the bell rang and i saw this beautiful girl entering the room . and since i was so shy i couldn\u2019t look into her eyes . she came in with her father . i was quite awe - struck the first time i saw her . . . . and , kaushik kaku had informed me earlier that there was a kissing scene ! ridhima : there were three kissing scenes , and i thought of not doing the film !\nand will go on the floors on july 11 . \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdi have penned the script and dialogues for haar mana haar , which is based on subroto niyogi\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds story swami o premika . the narrative is about a young couple that has an arranged marriage . you see them on their first anniversary , when everything seems perfect . there is love , understanding , friendship . then , as the story progresses , the misunderstandings crop up . the film deals with the dynamics of marriage in today\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds world . what seems like a bed of roses is not so in real life . sohini and indrasish are both fabulous and i\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdm sure they will make a good on - screen pair , \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd said debapratim .\nsholoana bangaliana -\ndirector ranjan ghosh deserves quite a few appreciative pats on the back for dealing with the shakespearean concepts in such an engaging manner . acting by the cast receives a big thumbs up and ably helps the director in this project . sohag sen as the soothsayer is just perfect . raima as the cardiologist does justice to her role . indrasish ray as shubhro also supports the acting department well . abir chatterjee as abhijit is fantastic in the romantic scenes . the soft look and the dimpled smile will melt many a girl\u2019s heart away and debjani in the film falls for his charms . he must also be given credit for bringing out the troubled emotions in a man so well . the angst and the indecisiveness that he portrays with his eyes and expressions will actually touch your heart .\nyes , that\u0092s why i had chosen them . honestly , when i thought of making the film , i had a different cast in mind . i wanted to make the film with rudra ( rudranil ghosh ) and a few others . but then i realised that the subject demanded a fresh cast as the audience should not know what to expect . would you believe it , i auditioned more than 200 youngsters from various colleges ! every evening i would sit in a south calcutta coffee shop and audition students . but i chose ridhima , gaurav , tanaji , indrasish and gourab despite the fact that they are not completely fresh . ridhima did a few films which i have not seen , tanaji did madly bangalee , the rest have done television . film ta dekhe shobai \u0091laden , laden\u0092 kore chechachhe ( tanaji\u0092s character in the film is called laden ) . i am glad that i took them . tanaji was my student at st xavier\u0092s . . . . making rang milanti has liberated me as a director . i had a lot of fun after the serious aarekti premer galpo .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\nsubmitted by wbri tollywood news on mon , 11 / 18 / 2013 -

care - less attitude . i took a lot of liberty as a director . hoi hoi kore chhobita baniyechhi . i love brakefail as a film , it\u0092s very dear to me . but i realise that the format was very flat . jackpot is a very good film and it would have been a hit had i not succumbed to pressure . i should have made the film differently with fewer songs . see , every director has a gharana . my audience disowned jackpot because i had deceived them . the audience expects something unique from me , which is there in rang milanti .\nno . i don\u0092t think a film works because of stars . it\u0092s the story that is important . as a director , i have never really bothered about how my films will do at the box - office because i can\u0092t help it . so casting newcomers isn\u0092t a risk . there\u0092s something called a beginner\u0092s luck . besides , rang milanti is not a slapstick comedy , you know , such comedies don\u0092t work in bengal . i have realised that the bengali audience loves to watch a paresh rawal or asrani in comic roles , no matter how repetitive their antics are , but when a kharaj mukherjee does that they call it bharamo . so it\u0092s better to steer clear of that genre and do a comedy which is different and has other elements too .\nmost of the games the young cast play in the film are interesting , except one where the boys run on the streets to reach the girl . . .\nbasically , the games are played so that she ( ridhima ) can choose the right partner from the four boys . more than the games , what is interesting is that each game has a title borrowed from a film , like amanush , asukh , father , kapurush mahapurush . . . . that\u0092s very innovative . besides , there are a lot of fantasy elements in the film , like when saswata ( chatterjee ) poses as a psychiatrist . bastobe orom hoy naki , dhur ! i know that when kamalika ( ridhima ) is playing the 10 games , some among the audience are playing 22 mind games ! certain things in the film are not to be taken seriously .\nseparation and too many divorces . i thought of how a modern - day swayamvar would be like . that\u0092s how i developed the story .\nbut you seem to have a thing for games . even jackpot was based on a reality show .\nwell , rang milanti is more about an exercise . jackpot was about a reality show and about who won the game . here the game comes as a disguise . i am dealing with a serious issue in the guise of an exercise .\nyes , i generally am because i am a very fussy director . i am satisfied with everyone in the film .\nchurni has mostly been seen in serious roles . what made you cast her as a commercial cinema heroine ?\nchurni is there in most of my films and i can\u0092t offer her similar roles always . her role is inspired by what i see around . it\u0092s diagonally opposite to what churni is in real life . she is a very no - nonsense person , completely opposite to what saswata ( chatterjee ) is in real life , who loves cracking jokes and pulling one\u0092s leg . so , it made my job easy to cast them as husband and wife at loggerheads because in the film too they play very different people .\ni think saswata is the most underrated actor in tollywood . i also think he is an indispensable actor . we haven\u0092t given him his due yet . starting from the bong connection , where he dazzled in a bit role , to laptop ( yet - to - release ) where i have cast him in a very serious role . . . i mean you can just give him anything and he will excel . he is brilliant , be it in his comic timing or emotional scenes . he is the only actor who has successfully created a bridge between television and cinema .\n\u2022 rang milanti premiere \u2022 kim ' s fashion disasters \u2022 ten years later . . . \u2022 the dulhan with a difference \u2022 handle with care ! \u2022 pretty priyanka \u2022 man booker shortlist \u2022 rituparna bares but . . .\nprosenjit and rituparno ghosh are taking their celluloid partnership to the small screen with a mega serial for star jalsa . rituparno is writing the script for the yet -

judgmental , \u0094 said rituparno .\n\u0093and i don\u0092t feel as if i am writing a mega serial . it is turning out to be much like my film scripts . people who have heard the script are urging me to make a film on it , \u0094 he added .\nprosenjit ruled out any chances of making a special appearance in his home project \u2014 \u0093i am playing the producer\u0092s part . ideas is a film and tv production house and i was waiting for the right opportunity to get into television , \u0094 he said \u2014 and picked arjun , the younger son of actor sabyasachi chakraborty , to play the male lead .\nnewcomer mimi chakraborty is paired opposite arjun . the cast also features sabyasachi\u0092s actress wife mithu and elder son gourab .\n\u0093bumba mamu ( prosenjit ) approached me for the serial . . . it\u0092s the lead role and i am willing to do it . i have heard the basic outline but don\u0092t know anything about my role yet , \u0094 said arjun , a second -

rituparno team has fallen back on debojyoti mishra , who had done the music for rituparno\u0092s chokher bali , raincoat and titli among others .\n\u0093i am composing the title track and the background score . besides , there will be lots of tagore songs ( chosen by rituparno ) with a contemporary touch . music is the pivot of this serial and since the issue is looking at contemporary interpretations of tagore alongside the traditional , i am weaving in elements of jazz , blues and several other forms , \u0094 said mishra .\nthe serial will be directed by joydip mukherjee , who has helmed bandhan and ekhane akash neel for star jalsa . the team is targeting a june -

daaaaaaaamn\nin july 2003 tate was back on cable television promoting reebok ' s scrimmage shoe in a spot called\ntraining camp ,\nwhich showed the office linebacker fending off office - worker dummies and dodging filing cabinets . by the end of the year downloads of the terry tate spots from reebok ' s website had surpassed 20 million . for the 2004 super bowl , however , reebok pulled out of the high - stakes television game and premiered a new short film on its website , which was promoted on mtv in 15 - second spots and in e - mails to more than a million registered users of the website terrytate . com .\nwhile the ad personality of \u201coffice linebacker\u201d skews strongly on attention and likeability , it also shows that viewers found it to do little in terms of communicating new information , alter brand perception or generate product desire . this opinion was noted in various viewer verbatims :\nat felcher & sons incorporated , the higher - ups have found a unique way to enforce office protocol and etiquette .\ni don ' t remember which one it is in , but the office bi - athlete gets me every time .\nterry tate , office linebacker is a comedy whose comic elements rely on the absurd situation of an american football coach working as a line - backer on an office . the short film has neither plot nor narrative : it is constructed as an interview with the president of the company where terry tate works mixed with scenes from inside the office . the president talks about why he decided to hire terry and about how the performance inside the company has been increased because of his actions . on the shots of the daily life inside the company , terry appears attacking people who are not following the rules . the idea is pretty simple , and it works as a comedy because of the absurd : after seeing a guy playing on his computer while he was expected to be working , nobody expects that the next shot will be an american football coach attacking him and screaming . this technique of inserting an element in a place where it is not naturally expected to be is common to comedies , and it is an easy way of catching the audience ' s attention .\nthis is an unreal story . there are a lot of people who get irritated or resist when they are scolded by their boss in the office . however , everybody seems to terry and reflects on when they are scolded him in movie . the office s banged into full force . they really sense imminent danger and become that they keep the rule in the office . it may be able to catch as violent , and the violence is not good , so it should be argued . however , if the proper violence can educate people , the education needs to be looked over again . this story is very fun . terry tate is strong .\nueberroth would be wise to follow orders . when reebok filmed its first terry tate ad , some of the stuntmen and actors came away with cracked ribs and sprained ankles , speight said .\n' ' we think this is a fun way for the terry tate character to continue delivering his message , ' ' said denise kaigler , a spokeswoman for reebok in canton , mass .\nreebok - - a 60 - second commercial for reebok international introduced a character named terry tate , a football fanatic who serves as the ' ' office linebacker , ' ' enforcing discipline , for the vengeful managers of a fictitious corporation . because a little bit of terry ' s comically violent shtick goes a long way , this is one commercial that would seemingly have benefited from less exposure . it was , however , the most - watched spot in households with tivo personal video recorders , according to a survey released by tivo inc . agency : arnell .\nreebok has scored its biggest touchdown in years with an ad campaign featuring tate , the\npain train ,\nthat began on the super bowl . tate punishes office colleagues football linebacker - style for infractions such as\nkilling the joe ( not making a new pot of coffee ) or eating someone ' s food . but he can also be a teddy bear and is beloved in the ads by colleagues for his\ntough love\napproach .\npunch clock villain : so long as they follow proper office etiquette , terry is an employees best friends . when they don ' t . . . well , that ' s when the pain train pulls into the station .\nin the video , mimicking the trump situation , terry says : \u201cthat\u2019s how terry tate makes america great , baby . you can\u2019t go around grabbing people , willy - nilly , son . that\u2019s just creepy . what kind of lockers have you been hanging out in , donny ? huh ? \u201d\nthroughout the spots , the boss , ron felcher , defended tate to the harassed employees , declaring that profits were up 47 percent since tate was hired . felcher pointed out that tate was a team player , and subsequent shots showed tate wearing a party hat and presenting a birthday cake to a coworker , giving a multimedia boardroom presentation , and waving a friendly greeting to a coworker in the middle of pummeling another . another sequence dramatized a knee injury tate sustained from an accident with an office mail cart . coworkers rooted for him as he underwent physical therapy and returned to work .\ni first saw this during the super bowl and could not stop laughing ! ! i guess the concept of an\noffice linebacker\nappeals to me and should to anyone who has had to work with inconsiderate co - workers ( and haven ' t we all ? ) .\ni yell that at everybody . . . but we dont have those coffee makers in the office so i just look weird .\nthis\npop culture tremor\nwas extended by other inexpensive but highly effective guerilla marketing tactics that garnered reebok additional\u2014and invaluable\u2014publicity . hundreds of college students sporting terry tate temporary tattoos on their foreheads were hired to infiltrate the adidas - sponsored boston marathon , and in august 2003 terry tate filed papers to run for governor of california . arnell told stuart elliott of the new york times that these\ntactic [ s ] [ are ] known as borrowed interest , marketers seeking to gain attention by associating themselves with news events that consumers are following closely .\nin addition , reebok sponsored a\ntake terry to work\nsweepstakes that offered entrants the chance to see terrible terry tate in action on their home turf .\ngiven the direction of recent super bowl commercials , where sweet and sentimental have won the hearts of viewers , how does the action - packed humor of \u201coffice linebacker\u201d resonate with modern viewers ? we had 500 + of today\u2019s consumers watch and score \u201coffice linebacker\u201d to find out . nearly as emphatically as one of terry\u2019s tackles , recent viewers voiced strong favorability toward the ad , which scored strongest on measures of attention and likeability ( both of which outpaced apparel category norms by about 20 % ) . despite its testosterone - fueled approach to fixing workplace bad habits , the ad scored well with both men and women , though did best with young men ages 16 - 20 and 21 - 35 .\nlester speight , the actor who plays the brash , voluble character named terry tate in a series of popular television and online commercials for reebok international , has filed to appear on the ballot of the oct . 7 recall election . the filing of nomination documents , overseen by the reebok agency , the arnell group in new york , was made under the name lester terry tate speight on a nonpartisan party line .\n/ u / big _ evil _ pharma can reply with ' delete ' . will delete on comment score of - 1 or ^ less . | faqs | magic ^ words | [ flag a glitch ] ( urltoken comment report & message = what seems wrong : ( optional description goes here ) % 0a % 0a - - - % 0a % 0areply no . urltoken r / videos / comments / 1wmgr6 / terry _ tate _ office _ linebacker _ arguably _ the _ best / cf3suvh )\nbut terry isn ' t all about making disorderly employees ride the pain train . he ' s an effective employee , and good buddies with everyone around the office . . . which doesn ' t mean you ' re exempt from his wrath .\nyou can ' t cut the cheese whereever you please ! !\nfyi - swietlik scores a hit with terry tate ads since the super bowl , linebacker terry tate has become a new favorite among football fans .\nterrible\nterry tate ( triple t , as he calls himself ) is the hard - hitting\noffice linebacker\nhired to keep cubicle - dwellers in line at the fictitious felcher & sons . and his hilarious reebok ad created a load of buzz when it aired during the super bowl this year . since then , the terry tate films have continued to entertain at urltoken . reebok estimates that more than 3 million people have viewed the ads online since the super bowl .

her husband . the sun is one of the most important symbols in the birth chart , as much as the ascendant , then the moon ( a bit less for a man ) , the ruler of the ascendant and the fast - moving planets .\nit ' s element is fire ; it is hot and dry , it governs leo , is in exaltation in aries and is in analogy with the heart . it represents the boss , authority , beside the father and the husband ; the age of the sun goes from 20 years old to about 40 , following the venus age when one is aware of his seductive power .\nwith the sun in the 10th house , you pay high attention to your social image , you try to have your capacities acknowledged , and you want to arouse respect and admiration . in a word , you want to find your place in the sun . it is not that easy . . . whereas successes increase your enthusiasm and your efficiency tenfold , failures may get you disheartened . therefore , it is preferable to make your task easier , and to reinforce your self - confidence which may be weak . your fulfilment depends on your social success , and on getting other people ' s recognition .\nif the sun is part of your natal chart ' s planetary dominants , in astrology , you are said to be a solarian : you loathe pettiness and machiavellian manoeuvre , and you are fond of natural nobleness as well as of direct and honest attitudes . you endeavour to get out of muddled or dark situations as quickly as possible . your need for transparency may lead you to make cut - and - dried judgments such as yes or no , and black or white . however , your honesty commands your entourage ' s consideration . at times , you come across as authoritarian . it is true that you never want to be thought of the notable absentee , and that you manage to make people pay attention to you , as well as to your plans and your assessments . to this end , the solarian sometimes develops a great talent for placing himself under the spotlight without missing a single opportunity to arouse interest . some other solarians , although more discreet , still manage to be the focus of any debate , even in situations of exclusion . it is your way of being present even though you are actually not there . . . more than other people , you appreciate the esteem extended to you . it is useless to cheat with you , since in all areas you consider establishing enduring relationships only with those who love you , admire you , respect you , or express some degree of affection to you . your will to straighten out your inter - personal relationships is your strength and sometimes , your achilles ' heel . you cannot achieve anything behind the scenes . therefore , your comportment is marked with heroism , and your stands are devoid of ambiguity , in the sense that your commitments are unfailing , and your rebuffs , final .\nsunrays are reflected by a mirror lain on a table near a key .\n( janduz version )\npleasant , gentle , and generous character endowed with extremely bright intelligence and high creativity . one has a keen interest in religion , ancient myths , and scientific research on light and rays , and amasses an exceptionally broad general knowledge . one achieves success and fame through one ' s career and earns people ' s admiration for one ' s humanitarian work . this degree often describes good - looking persons whose moral standards may not be too strict . if the natal chart points to thwarted intellectual abilities , this degree indicates a lazy and self - centred person driven by an intense desire for luxury and superficial things .\nn . b . : symbolic degrees belong to a branch of fatalistic astrology . their interpretation must be regarded with the utmost caution , especially given the fact that different authors give different meanings to symbolic degrees . this is the reason why they are not included in our astrotheme reports .\nif you wish , you can receive immediately in your mailbox your detailed astrological portrait , a nice gift for yourself or for your close friends and relatives , who will deeply appreciate it .\nthe moon represents instinctive reaction , unconscious predestination , everyday mood , sensitivity , emotions , the feminine side of the personality , intuition , imagination . for a man , she represents his mother and later his wife , and his relationship with women in general . for a woman , the moon is almost as important as the sun and the ascendant . her element is water , she is cold and moist , she rules cancer , is in exaltation in taurus and is in analogy with the stomach .\nshe symbolizes the mother , wife , the crowd , the moon is associated with birth and childhood . tradition also matches her with the end of life , after saturn the old age , it is thus customary to go

the day and at the time of your birth , the moon was in the sign of scorpio . your instincts deeply influence your thinking process and your actions . there are a lot of impulsiveness and violence in you . but they are only the other side of the coin of you direct and innate receptivity that gives you the amazing ability to perceive what is really at stake in any given situation . you also have extraordinary psychological skills . you are impervious to prevailing trends and tastes and you prefer to create a unique lifestyle for yourself alone . you are very selective in your intimate sphere and you accept as friends only the persons who can be naturally integrated in your quite special realm . you carefully maintain your distance with all intruders . closeness needs time .\nthe moon is in your 2nd house . familiar objects have a lot of importance to you . souvenirs , images redolent of your secret dreams , real estate , etc . they all contribute to the making up of your world and your home . you have the feeling that you own something only when you are in communication with it . therefore , you select your capital according to your sensitivity . you are a second - hand goods dealer to the core , rather than a stock exchange speculator , and you sometimes give a fanciful value to things .\nn . b . : when a planet is posited near the cusp of the next astrological house ( less than 2 degrees for the ascendant or the midheaven , and less than 1 degree for all the other houses ) , it is considered to be posited in the following house . this rule is used in the texts of this interactive chart and in all our astrological softwares .\nif the moon is part of your natal chart ' s planetary dominants , in astrology , you are said to be a lunarian : the driving force behind your actions is mainly the pursuit of well - being and tranquillity . your sensitive and romantic self lives on those periods of rest during which you let your imagination wander at will . this is your way of finding inspiration and balance . nothing is allowed to disturb your feeling of fulfilment and security within a harmonious cell , be it a family or a clan . more than other people , the lunarian is attached to those moments during which one forgets one ' s worries and lets oneself cast adrift aimlessly , with no other goal than to be lulled into an ambiance , a situation , or a perfect moment . many people do not understand such absences and their meaning , which is to regain strength . these people readily describe you with such unflattering terms as apathy and nonchalance . never mind ! some inspirations require surrendering as well as striking a balance derived from alternate action and passivity . your qualities are expressed to the fullest in situations which demand familiarity and privacy . your capacities to respect and blend into your environment is at least as valuable as some other people ' s aggressive dispositions . however , you are well - advised to avoid indolence and renunciation out of laziness or indifference .\na hare watches a bright star in the sky and does not see the gun is pointed at it .\n( janduz version )\nvigilant , astute , and timid character . one is so deeply engrossed in one ' s research , in occultism , astrology and the mysteries of life that one overlooks the danger lurking . therefore , one is caught off guard when troubles and ordeals crop up . one must exercise more caution and clear - sightedness if one is to obtain the success and fame promised by this degree .\nmercury represents communication , logical and rational mind , intellectual skills . earth is its element , it is cold and dry , and it rules virgo and gemini , is in exaltation in virgo and is in analogy with the arms , hands , nervous system .\nit represents tradesmen , lawyers , messengers ; the age of mercury goes from 8 or10 years old to about 15 . .\n: emotive , non active and primary type or non - emotive , active and primary , nervous or sanguine type .\nmercury describes your relations , your communication skills and the way you relate to the external world . however , other astrological elements also influence these areas . the sign mercury occupies is significant only if mercury is part of your planetary dominantes . in your chart , mercury is in leo . you want to explain and to control complex situations . you express yourself straightforwardly and directly , at the risk of hurting your entourage . communication means to figure out the character and the specificity of each individual ; you need to understand and to define the personality of your interlocutor so as to clarify the relationship . on the human plane , you are sensitive to power struggles and to the power exerted .\nwith mercury in the 10th house , your social role includes communication and human relations . the ideal professional activity for you is in jobs involving meetings , dialogues , exchanges , and trade . according to the tradition , mercury symbolises mobility and adaptation . the key to your fulfilment is probably your capacity for communication . it is a valuable asset nowadays . . . the tradition also mentions a gift for business .\nif mercury is part of your natal chart ' s planetary dominants , in astrology , you are said to be a mercurian : the tradition points out the importance of communication . from idle but enriching chatters to observation gift , such a dominant endows you with a wide range of expression . human beings have one thousand facets and one thousand masks they wear according to circumstances and the fortunes of the game of life . you take the role of an observer who is avid for novelties , discoveries , and surprises . everything catches your attention and becomes an opportunity for new encounters , relationships , and learning . the world amazes you , amuses you sometimes , and stimulates your curiosity . because the most important thing is to discover , and because you consider that each new situation is packed with potentialities , you try to fill the gaps in your knowledge . although your open - mindedness may scatter your centres of interest , it also enables you to carefully avoid sticking to only one immutable and rigid view . the slightest sign enables you to perceive the other side of the coin , as well as the infinite complexity of people and of situations . on the human plane , you seek the dialogue and the information without which you know that you are not able to fully grasp the nature of your interlocutor . this keen interest in the unknown sharpens your inter - relational skills . all these qualities are traditionally associated with mercury .\na beautiful ram paws the barren soil of a headland . further down , a donkey tethered to a tree strives to free itself .\n( janduz version )\nthe ram symbolises bad temper , self - centredness , and loneliness . although one achieves success , the sterile land heralds that one does not become very rich . the donkey represents stubbornness , dissent , and the will to do that which is forbidden . repeated ordeals will teach the donkey to become more disciplined . both animals are cautious , hard - working , and simple , all qualities that must be developed . this degree often warns against unreliable and dishonest employees or colleagues . watchfulness is required with quadrupeds also ."]}

s an inspiration . the name has the power to give goosebumps to any ardent fan of the gentlemen ? s game ; such is the stature of that name . audiences somewhat experience a similar feeling after watching the movie . sachin - tendulkar alla gives you an impression of being a children ? s movie , but it is definitely not restricted to a particular section of audience .\nwatch sachin tendulkar alla movie - promo starring master snehith , javagal srinath , venkatesh prasad , suhasini maniratnam , sudharani directed by mohan shankar produced by bn gangadhar music by rajesh ramanath subscribe to sandalwood / kannada no . 1 youtube channel for non stop entertainment click here to subscribe - - urltoken\ngetting the audience to shed a drop or two of tears is a good sign . it obviously means the film has worked . sachin - tendulkar alla is a feel - good film that manages to overwhelm a few senses . the \u2018underdog - sports achiever\u2019 is a common theme nowadays , but in this film , it is not the heroic achievements of the individual , but the collective support of his family and friends that takes the cake .\nsachin in spite of his poor health has only one dream - he wants to be a cricket player . suhasini takes up the responsibility to make his dream come true . entry : venkatesh prasad ! dinesh ( venkatesh prasad ) , a cricket coach takes a break from his career to help sachin realisel his dream . will sachin be able to play cricket amidst fast bowlers ? will sachin ? s dream come true ? you should find out from theatres !\nwill sachin be able to play cricket like the other children ? will his dreams come true ? that forms the rest of the story .\none fine day , sachin wishes to compete in a special cricket match to be held in hyderabad . a confused swathi approaches her boy friend venkat ( venkatesh prasad ) who is a cricket coach . after hearing out all her problems , venkat decides to help sachin realize his dreams .\nthe movie revolves around sachin ( master snehith ) , who suffers from autism . in addition to this , sachin is diagnosed with brain tumor and accordingly is counting his days . his elder sister ( suhasini ) is unmarried for the reason that she has to take care of her brother .\non the whole , sachin tendulkar kadu had a perfect set up for a good message oriented flick . but the way it has been narrated leaves a lot to be desired . this film will be liked by the children because of their interest in cricket . regular audience who are looking out for some sheer fun can give this film a miss .\nformer indian pacer is making his cinematic debut with this film . he plays a coach in the movie who helps sachin realize his dream and come into his own as a cricketer .\nin an era where top stars in the industry are opting for remakes , a movie like sachin stands apart . the script is fresh and original . music director rajesh ramnath has done a decent job as music flows along with the movie .\nwhen sachin is declared a terminally ill patient , his sister promises to live his dream of playing a cricket tournament . what sets the film apart , though with an inevitable storyline , is the climax . it is a cricket match , but unlike what you expect , it is not about sachin ' s heroics . the message of how to treat autistic children is sent across without even hinting at it . that makes it a must - watch film for children and adults who care . friendship and humanism is narrated without a hint of being preachy . that is the film\u2019s biggest achievement .\nthe film follows a predictable line for the most part . master snehit plays sachin , an autistic child , who does not even realise he is different from other children . the first half of the film only goes to establish the characters and set the stage for the better half to come later . his much - older elder sister suhasini has dedicated his life for him , while his other sister and mother are vaguely unhappy with him . cricketer venkatesh prasad , making his acting debut , plays suhasini\u2019s love interest and a school cricket coach . no prizes for guessing that sachin ' s only interest in life is cricket and only prasad can fulfill his dream .\nafter the karnataka government\u2019s incentive of rs 25 lakh for \u2018children ' s films\u2019 , there was a flood of such ventures . most of them were made within rs 25 lakh to be profitable . sachin . . . does not fall into that category . be it the selection of actors or the making , it matches any decent commercial venture sandalwood churns out .\nsudharani ( school principal ) plays a major role in shaping sachin ? s career . suhasini ? s acting needs a mention here . her patience , inspiring words and her eye expressions are amazing though she seems to be a bit over - emotional on occasions . venkatesh prasad starts off with ease and perfectly suits the role of a cricket coach . the movie also stars another cricketer javagal srinath . ever since the movie ? s launch , the team had not disclosed about srinath ? s role in the movie . we shall maintain the same here !\nwo kannada films entirely contrast in nature will be releasing today , friday , july 11 across karnataka .\nthe movie which has been certified as a \u2018children\u2019s film\u2019 captures the struggles of an autistic boy to make it big as a cricketer .\nsays suhasini , \u201cthis is a cricket - based film . the story is about my character\u2019s younger brother who was born with autism . so , in order to take care of him my character decides not to get married . i soon realise that my brother\u2019s interest lies in cricket , so i encourage him . i remain unmarried as i focus on my younger brother . he understands that and helps me . \u201d\ndirector mohan says there is a 30 - minute cricket match in the movie which is one of the major highlights of the film . veteran actress sudha rani will be seen in a prominent role .\nthe film is produced by b n gangadhar . the film has music by rajesh ramanath and cinematography by prasad babu .\nis the first horror movie in kannada to be shot in the 3 - d format .\naccording to the director prashanth kumar , the film has elements of suspense and horror . he said the highlight of the movie is the use of graphics for a length of 15 minutes . prashanth , who is also one of the producers , said the movie will be released in both the 2 - d and 3 - d formats as the movie was shot in both the formats simultaneously .\nthe 3 - d format of the movie will be released in select theatres and multiplexes while the 2 - d format will be released in all single - screen theatres that do not support the 3 - d format , according to prashanth .\nmodel - turned - actor raghu mukherjee plays a cop in the movie and is paired opposite two heroines daisy shah and shilpi sharma . daisy sharma debuted in hindi cinema earlier this year opposite salman khan in jai ho . mumbai - based model - turned - actress shilpi sharma plays a doctor in the movie who opposes superstitious beliefs .\nsatish aryan has composed the music and k j rateesh is the cinematographer . vimal jain and paramesh are the co - producers . oscar abhishek , lalith raj vinayak and adarsh have penned the dialogues .\nthe film has been shot extensively in mysore , madikeri and kasaragod . aakramana will be released in telugu as well . the film has been given an \u2018a\u2019 certificate by the censor board .\nsuhasini portrays her character with a lot of ease and is superb in the emotional scenes . venkatesh prasad has done a decent job in his debut film and looks apt in the role of a cricket coach . master snehit has also done his part supremely well and is the major attraction of the film .\nthe human values showcased in the film needs to be appreciated . the way the director narrates the entire cricket match is quite engaging . second half has decent moments and is carried out well .\napart from the interesting story line , there are many drawbacks in the movie . the main plot is about a mentally retarded person but the director fails to involve his character right from the beginning . the first half of the movie is a big minus .\nthe reason for the child\u2019s passion in cricket is not sketched out clearly . screenplay is not up to the mark and lacks focus in the first half . the story does not have enough motivational scenes which are a must for films like these .\nsome serious and emotional scenes end up in quite a silly manner . this movie also lacks the regular entertainment which the normal public look out for .\ncinematographer prasad babu does a decent job as few scenes during the cricket match have been captured well . rajesh ramnath\u2019s music is below par and the background score is just about ok . few boring scenes in the first half will test the patience of the audience .\nthe director opted for a good subject but was not able to handle it perfectly . screenplay is bad as the entire movie is quite predictable . despite good performances from the cast , the movie does not have enough scenes that will connect with the regular audience .\namma ( lyric video ) | amma i love you | chiranjeevi sarja | sitara | k . m . chaitanya | gurukiran\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nthe\nmost anticipated indian movies and shows\nwidget tracks the real - time popularity of relevant pages on imdb , and displays those that are currently generating the highest number of pageviews on imdb .\neach title is ranked according to its share of pageviews among the items displayed . pageviews for each item are divided by the aggregate number of pageviews generated by the items displayed .\nlakeith stanfield and his sorry to bother you director boots riley discuss the stress of filming sex scenes .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ?

harline and ben oakland ; see the three stooges journal # 91 ( fall 1999 ) .\nin gents without cents the three stooges play three vaudeville entertainers who were trying to rehearse some new material when they keep getting interrupted by falling plaster . upon investigation moe , larry , and curly find there are three hoofers rehearsing their act named flo , mary , and shirley . with that kind of coincidence you know they ' ll hit it off . before long they ' re doing their act as the girls do their ' s in front of a shipyard audience . it ' s all for the war effort as long dead vaudeville acts actually did find war workers needing some entertainment on their lunch hours here and in real life . the women , lindsay bourquin , laverne thompson , and betty phares actually do a nice combination of acrobatics and dancing . and the guys get to do the famous\nnigara falls\n. . . .\nslowly i turned\nroutine adapted for three . it ' s all quite nice and a salute to the vaudeville origins of all these guys though not as an act .\nsmooth and never fails to step up and do whatever is needed . he is an accomplished technician of many hats and capable of running sound , lights , stage and coordinating all . too smooth reunions happen because del delivers . they ( reunion shows ) would not happen without him ! details upon details , set up , pick up and first class execution is what del always does . taking off that portion of responsibility and pressure from me is my reliable\nahhh\nfactor . what a stylish job he did with the lighting friday - it was unbelievable ! of course he spent days in prep and setting up so it would be a night to remember .\nyep , after a few weeks of lesser stooge shorts , we are back to primo moe , larry and curly . i don ' t have a problem with musical numbers or singing and dancing - - provided that ' s it ' s entertaining . unlike some of the early a & c features , the singing and dancing found within gents is highly entertaining . maybe it ' s because all the singing is done by the stooges - - but the team of lindsay , laverne and betty hold my interest as well . i don ' t find myself looking at my watch whenever they are on . and i think by this point in the stooge shorts , the sound crew finally found a good sound effect for the eye poke . overall , i rate this a 8 . 5 out of 10 pokes . . . .\nfair use notice : this site

internet and a common objective - too smooth must be heard ! no words or praise will ever be enough to appropriately thank jerry worrell and sid hagan for their gigantic role in too smooth music available in the 21st century . they can tell the story better than i . but when the stars began aligning and these gents found each other , dean ' s youtube videos , and then me - well the relentless pursuit of sid & jerry to give you , me our children the music that was such a huge part of who we all are , was underway . they gathered cassettes , reel tapes , acetates , etc . and converted to digital for re - mastering . what a team ! jerry converted and tweaked , sent to sid ( originally in virginia , then and now paris , france ) who re - mastered again and again until we got what you now have . all out of love for the music !\nsid hagan ' s story of his first exposure to too smooth , to his relentless search for\nwhere ' s too smooth ?\nthereafter is a picture of fate . without sid and his drive to undo the injustice dealt too smooth by the music / record business of the 70 ' s , none of this resurgence - i repeat , none of this resurgence of too smooth would have happened . dean ' s release of\ntimeless\n& sid re - mastered the music from what little was there from a condenser mike video recording . sid believes that the music is worthy and should be heard and set out on a mission to convince me that we could re - master old recordings and give 100 ' s if not 1000 ' s of people what they ' ve always wanted and deserved - a pristine recording of songs from the huge repertoire of too smooth recordings from the 70 ' s . what an unselfish endeavor of love of the music sid has . so sidward ( yea i ' ve got lots of pet names for my brother from another mother ) has not only ramrodded , and spent years re - mastering the songs for this ultimate endeavor , but also introduced recordings to internet dee jays who have embraced and played the medley cut from ' live & kickin\n. all who are appreciative for theses cd ' s owe a huge thanks to sid & jerry ! sid refuses to wear tight pants and pointed shoes like the parisian men , and his taste in music is also

tolerance state with regards to drugs in western europe .\ndirector wych kaosayananda and his cast were in the same boat as the audience on tuesday night at the thailand international film destination festival . it was the world premiere of \u201czero tolerance\u201d and no one had actually seen the movie before .\n\u201cif i\u2019d seen [ \u2018zero tolerance\u2019 ] 10 years ago , it would have upset me . but sitting back there just now , i enjoyed it . \u201d\nit wasn\u2019t the first time wych has had his original vision of a film changed .\ndistricts from los angeles to new york city are experimenting with new policies designed to eliminate zero - tolerance discipline . but the reality is often a lot different than the idea .\nthe home office report examining a range of approaches , from zero - tolerance to decriminalisation , it concluded drug use was influenced by factors\nmore complex and nuanced than legislation and enforcement alone\n.\nzero tolerance is one of those films that\u2019s going to leave you beyond disappointed , with the terrible story and underuse of the talents of the martial arts actors here in the film . sure i shouldn\u2019t have spoiled much of the details , but i don\u2019t feel bad about it either since zero tolerance is just terrible . if you wanted to bore yourself out with something , or get a good glimpse of a movie with plenty sex and / or nudity , then i\u2019ll recommend it . otherwise , just don\u2019t even bother with it .\nviewers who have only seen \u201cballistic\u201d might also enjoy \u201czero tolerance\u201d , with its relative coherance and zippiness being an eye - opener \u2013 a more - accurate representation of what the passionate and savvy kaos is capable of accomplishing .\ni\u2019ll say this . at the end of the film , when what happened to angel is finally disclosed , it\u2019s not what you would expect , but is most likely closer to the truth and reality of what really happens in that world . honestly , for me , that is probably the saving grace of the film because i usually have zero tolerance for movies that cop out on the action and the use of its fighters . but i\u2019d still watch this again .\ndustin nguyen\u2019s wife bebe pham made a cameo appearance as a madame of a strip club at the end of the film .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\njapan has the toughest drug laws in the developed world . its pharmaceutical affairs law bans the production and sale of 68 types of drugs and has a zero - tolerance policy . criminal sanctions are tougher than in the uk and relatively few people seek treatment .\ndie action ist wenn sie dann mal kommt nett und knackig . . . . . . mehr bietet der film dann aber auch nicht .\n\u201czero tolerance\u201d also led to nguyen meeting his wife , vietnamese actress and model bebe pham , who portrays the madame of a high - end sex club and , eventually , one of the many people nguyen\u2019s character kills in what is ultimately a fruitless quest for revenge .\ni thought i was watching an adkins film but that is not the case here . he is in it but not much and is certainty not in a leading role , despite being featured on the cover . zero tolerance is a crime drama centering on a prostitution service in asia . the film had it ' s good parts but the story got lost somewhere . i found this on the roku channel . the film was mostly in english but had some foreign language parts and a lot of\naccent\n. it made it hard to understand . i turned on the cc but the words appeared a good 20 seconds before they spoke and it made it nearly impossible to follow . a hard copy would certainly\u2026\nconsumer advocates have been calling for zero tolerance of dangerous types of salmonella in poultry in order to cut down on the number of people who get sick from the bacteria each year . those in the chicken business , though , say doing so would be too expensive and very difficult .\nmade in 2011 , the bangkok - set crime drama has vietnamese superstar dustin nguyen as a former cia agent on a murderous , vengeance - filled quest to find his daughter\u2019s killer . co - led by rising thai actor sahajak \u201cpu\u201d boonthanakit as a bangkok police detective and former cia cohort of nguyen\u2019s , the film was originally called \u201cangels\u201d and was more of a \u201cslow burn , character - driven\u201d affair than the swifter - paced , nudity - laced action - packed romp that became \u201czero tolerance\u201d .\nworks as a romantic drama so don ' t expect lots of comedy here . guy pearce is really great in the lead role , his character is desperately flawed with self meditation and can ' t show real emotions . the film drags alot and corrington is under used but the film works and is well acted . another great indie surprise for 2016\njudging on the film ' s description and the fact that it stars scott adkins and a few other martial artists , i was expecting an action packed revenge film about an estranged father looking for his daughter ' s killer . in reality it was slow , boring , there is only one ( rubbish ) fight and it turns out she was just a slut .\nzero punctuation is the escapist ' s groundbreaking video review series starring ben\nyahtzee\ncroshaw . every wednesday zero punctuation picks apart the games so you don ' t have to . called\nhilariously cutting . . . first legitimate breakout hit from the gaming community in recent memory\nby boing boing , see why gamers love it and developers fear it .\n\u201cnow i\u2019m over all that . when i started my first professional job , i was 23 . now i\u2019m in my 40s . so , perspective , \u201d he said . \u201ci\u2019ve done three movies that i consider my own \u2013 \u2018fah\u2019 , \u2018ballistic\u2019 and \u2018zero tolerance\u2019 . and ironically , the world has only seen one my movies that is my version , and that\u2019s \u2018fah\u2019 .\ni highly recommend skipping this film , and because of this , i\u2019ll go ahead and spoil the ending in this paragraph . you\u2019ve been warned . in the end , and i mean the very end , we\u2019re treated to a video which solves the mystery as to what actually happened to angel . this is the part i referenced earlier when she\u2019s all sexualized for her final moment . her death , mind you . as it turns out , she simply died of an apparent drug overdose mixed with a swimming pool drowning , while surrounded by her best friends who she was partying with and vaguely making out with . she wasn\u2019t murdered at all . so while this makes the point of the film somewhat clearer , that johnny was , in fact , a huge prick for murdering all these people who didn\u2019t kill his daughter in the first place , it doesn\u2019t retroactively make any of the rest of the film more compelling . there\u2019s some commentary on the futility of revenge , i guess , and that\u2019s fine . but there\u2019s still a fetishization of whatever badass gun violence the film did display , as well as a seedy sexualization of most of the female leads in the film . i don\u2019t mind sex and violence in movies , but zero tolerance culminates with a \u201ctwist\u201d condemnation of all the killing and sex that has gone on , while still spending the runtime of the film seducing you with those very things . well , those things and a whole bunch of conversations around a table of some kind about a girl we don\u2019t care about .\nthis neo - noir revenge tale holds endless promise , but prepare yourself for a mean case of cinematic blue balls . zero tolerance assembles a stellar line - up of modern fight favorites\u2014nguyen , scott adkins , gary daniels , kane kosugi\u2014and then proceeds to basically wander the neon - lit streets of bangkok for 85 minutes . if not for a pair of unfortunately brief shoot - outs and one\u2026\nher plans begin unraveling , however , when pryce states a newfound zero - tolerance for expanding oil production and then collapse completely with the anonymous public release of closed - circuit tv footage revealing pryce romancing a very attractive , very married cheerleading coach . the ensuing media firestorm presents the prospect of complete career meltdown for pryce , who inevitably returns to the bottle after nearly two decades of sobriety .\n\u201cwe cannot meet a zero - tolerance standard today with salmonella , \u201d says mike robach , vice president for food safety at the meat and poultry giant cargill , which overhauled its salmonella control efforts after a major outbreak of the bacteria from ground turkey in 2011 . \u201cif you declared salmonella \u2026 an adulterant , we would have a really difficult time getting fresh meat out to the marketplace . \u201d\na rich man employs a personal trainer whose complex relationship with her boss thwarts his affections . the plot of this film unfolds slowly , and the characters ' motivations are muddy . none has a clear , consistent objective that s / he pursues throughout the film , and while these shifting objectives might add to the film ' s verisimilitude , there isn ' t a strong enough narrative hand to guide the audience through the film ' s shifts . when the plot all begins to resolve , one story ends predictably , and the other resolution is so slap - dash that i couldn ' t believe the film would really end on that note . i suspect that all of the performances were directed to be subtext - driven , but if it ' s trying to be a rom - com , then i think stifling the natural energy of cobie smulders and guy pearce was a mistake . their performances were like looking at a light through a dark curtain . overall , the result of results is less than its ambitions .\ni\u2019m going to be upfront about this . i like ballistic : ecks vs sever and tekken 2 : kazuya\u2019s revenge . i thought they were decent stories with some well done action , especially the latter . i\u2019ve been waiting patiently for zero tolerance to finally come out because i was more than willing to give it a chance , regardless of what the overall viewing audience may think of kaosayananda\u2019s previous efforts .\nfor nguyen , \u201czero tolerance\u201d was born out of the friendship he began with kaos when the two were young asians struggling to make it in hollywood . a vietnam war refugee who grew up in the us , nguyen got his big break starring alongside johnny depp in the 1980s tv series \u201c21 jump street\u201d . after gaining acclaim for roles in oliver stone\u2019s \u201cheaven and earth\u201d ( nguyen\u2019s first experience filming in thailand ) and 2005\u2019s drugs drama \u201clittle fish\u201d with cate blanchett , he returned to vietnam and alongside other vietnamese - americans who grew up in hollywood , he jump - started the country\u2019s newly emergent and fast - growing commercial film industry .\npaparazzi photographer mickey dane is obsessed with elusive pop singer chelsea , and his attempts to capture her on film often land him in trouble . he jumps at the chance to photograph a . . . see full summary \u00bb\nhis serviceable directing neglects opportunities to incorporate any number of evocative katrina - or bp - impacted locations that might have helped underline the film\u2019s theme of political capitulation , a perspective ultimately conveyed by the simplistic and supremely cynical conclusion .\ndan losen , of the civil rights project , sees this approach\u2014a shift away from zero tolerance toward constructive tactics that focus on encouraging kids to stay in school and reflect on their actions\u2014taking hold in a growing number of school jurisdictions and states . the reason becomes more obvious as the numbers sink in : according to u . s . department of education civil - rights data , america\u2019s children lost almost 18 million days of instruction due to suspensions .\nfamously a tourist hot - spot for people seeking cannabis from countries with stricter controls substances defined as \u201csoft\u201d drugs , including cannabis , have been effectively decriminalised . possession remains illegal here but police and courts operate a policy of tolerance .\nthe perth film network has zero tolerance for bullies or bad conduct . please be professional and know that just because something is posted doesn ' t mean it warrants your opinion . be sure you have the correct facts before posting or commenting . any form of defamation , non constructive criticism or any form of bad behaviour or unprofessional conduct will be removed from this page and the person will be immediately banned , this includes anywhere on the net also . . . this is a safe zone ! i urge members to contact me if they see any such behaviour on this group or are being bullied . constructive criticism is always welcome . please enjoy and feel free to post and comment freely . no advertising please .\nbut the buyers , unsure of the international appeal of the two asian leads , wanted something more . so there were reshoots that brought in yet another british action star , scott adkins , as a drug - dealing westerner . up - and - coming japanese - american martial - arts actor kosugi was added in a brief cameo that was just long enough to get his name on the poster . now , \u201czero tolerance\u201d is set for release in the uk in september .\nthe film , which marks the directorial debut of singer -

dade county public schools eliminated out - of - school suspensions as part of an effort to redirect its discipline policies , a move that losen said is \u201chuge\u201d and has high potential . other locations he\u2019s watching include maryland , where extensive changes to the state\u2019s discipline policies are underway , and denver , whose leading role in the elimination of exclusionary discipline makes it a key guidepost for other districts striving to do away with zero - tolerance tactics .\nthe film was produced in 2011 and was originally titled angels . it was initially conceived as more of a slow burn , character - driven affair before becoming a swift - paced action drama . dustin nguyen ' s wife , bebe pham , took the role of the madam of a high - end sex club .\nthere are some hilarious early opportunities for elle to vent her foul - mouthed irascibility and zero tolerance for\nassholes ,\nnotably with an uptight barista ( john cho ) in a coffee shop that was formerly a free women ' s health center , and at a cafe where she tries to sell some first editions to the flinty owner ( the late elizabeth pena in one of her final roles ) . sage stands by dumbstruck while grandma hurls invective , and though the girl is no dummy , she does think the feminine mystique is an x - men character , amusingly underlining the canyon - wide generation gap .\nsahajak has a leading role in \u201czero tolerance\u201d , turning in an emotional performance that takes its cues from the brooding and intense nguyen , whom sahajak says he idolised on \u201c21 jump street\u201d . if he looks familiar , it\u2019s because the english - fluent sahajak is a much in - demand actor for foreign productions , usually donning a policeman\u2019s or prison guard\u2019s uniform for such movies as \u201conly god forgives\u201d or \u201cbrokedown palace\u201d . he\u2019s been featured in seemingly endless array of other entries of the past three editions of the thailand international fine destination festival , with credits that include \u201cthe lost medallion\u201d , \u201cthe mark : redemption\u201d , \u201cthe lady\u201d and \u201celephant white\u201d .\nwhere the film really kicks in and gains emotional weight , however , is in a beautiful scene with karl ( sam elliott , just perfection ) , a mellow old romantic with four ex - wives and a tribe of grandchildren , who hasn ' t seen elle in 30 years . he agrees to lend her the money , but their painful unresolved history gets in the way before the deal is done .\nwych , popularly known by his nickname \u201ckaos\u201d , had set out to make an asian - led film with his longtime friend nguyen , and they thought they had succeeded when \u201cangels\u201d screened in vietnam in 2012 . originally , it had nguyen and sahajak tangling with a sleazy bar owner played by british action star gary daniels . rapper prinya \u201cway thaitanium\u201d intachai appears as a hip - hop partner to sahajak\u2019s slick plainclothes cop .\nthe resulting feature , \u201cballistic : ecks vs sever\u201d , was taken away from him and re - edited by the studio . it was a dull and incomprehensible mess ( and still is ) . starring antonio banderas and lucy liu , the spy thriller became infamous as one of the first entries on the rotten tomatoes movie - review website to receive the rock - bottom zero - per - cent score .\nanyone still anticipating a nic cage career comeback will be forced to wait even longer following the runner , a middling southern political drama that can\u2019t manage to match , or even adequately contextualize , the real human tragedy of the deepwater horizon oil spill that forms the film\u2019s backdrop . unlikely to raise much interest in theatrical release , cage\u2019s latest excuse to pick up a paycheck can at least fall back on vod surfers in an attempt make up the difference .\nhuman trafficking , human trafficking with minor ' s consent , human trafficking with a heart condition . the hero ' s daughter is a hoe . he watches the tapes and is unable to take his eyes off the screen or that bland expression to go away . director wych kaosayanada tries to sprinkle his film with ideas explored in films like\nthe world of kanako , 2014\nand\nthe man from nowhere , 2010\n, however it does not work .\nthe key has been a focused effort to reduce salmonella in birds starting on the farm , before they enter the processing facility . the reasoning is simple : processing plants can do a lot to reduce salmonella with rinses and cleaning , but they can\u2019t always eliminate it . if the birds come into the plants with much less \u2014 or zero \u2014 salmonella , those interventions will be more effective and ultimately translate into a safer product for consumers .\nthe film makes a sweet joke about lesbians and their wind chimes by having elle ' s made out of the pieces of her cut - up credit cards . her strapped financial state means she has to call in favors to raise the cash , and her sour nature means there are few friends to whom she can turn . even when bridges haven ' t been burned , like with transgender tattooist deathy ( laverne cox ) , the latter ' s economic pinch limits how much she can help out .\nthe story is slowly evolved , which isn\u2019t necessarily bad . the film is full of garish nightclub scenes and fast - paced , vibrating dance music , which seems to underscore the core fact of the sex trade industry : it\u2019s on , and then it\u2019s on to the next john . the characters that appear also underline another theme - they\u2019re adept at using people , and in turn are used themselves . and none of them like it . but without fail , they all claim to like or love angel , and none demonstrates a motive for killing her .\nand though the termination of a pregnancy is what drives the plot , that sorrowful step is treated with the gravity it warrants in a story that ' s also about the many imperfect paths of motherhood . grandma is not as self - congratulatory and in - your - face as the recent obvious child about its evolved position on abortion as a regrettable but necessary option in many young women ' s lives . but there ' s admirable frankness , intelligence and sensitivity here . additionally , the film is a thoughtful , funny reflection on the gains and losses of growing old .\ncompetent but ultimately dull action thriller . the action bits are pretty decent when you get them but the pacing is jacked . scott adkins is in this movie . so is gary daniels . the movie presents solid reasons for why their characters would hate each other but they share zero screen time , which means no daniels / adkins throwdown . the red herrings come fast and furious only to ultimately present an anticlimactic reveal for who actually killed angel . it ' s a shame , really . i think there ' s a solid flick buried under all the incessant talking .\nthis has a promising ( if standard ) plot with good action , lots of shooting , chases etc . definitely has a 1990 ' s feel to it and the quality of the film is not the best , almost feels like it was videotaped but it could be the streaming provider ' s issue . but terrible acting on average . its cool to see some actors that will later in their careers appear in much better films and / or tv ( e . g . titus welliver ) ; also interesting to see mick fleetwood in here and a couple of other guys that i recognized , mostly general casting types . overall i would say that if it is a couple of hours of mindless action that you seek this would fit the bill .\n\u201cwe couldn\u2019t sell it , \u201d said wych during a panel talk after the movie , alongside nguyen , sahajak and cast members bebe pham and kane kosugi .\nafter making his debut at the age of 24 with the 1998 thai action drama \u201cfah\u201d , wych headed to hollywood and secured his place in history as one of the first thais to direct a feature there . but it was an achievement clouded by devastating failure .\nit was a huge setback for wych , who has spent the past decade clawing himself back from the brink of infamy .\n\u201cwhat happened with \u2018ballistic\u2019 really pretty much broke me , \u201d wych told the audience . \u201ci didn\u2019t want to make films for a while . i turned to music videos and commercials . i worked on other people\u2019s films .\nproduction in bangkok was problematic because of the 2011 floods , but an old house alongside bangkok noi canal was a prime location and the crew even used movie magic to level the place with a bomb , a rarity in budget -

like\u201d . but there are so many more boring conversations , sitting around some table somewhere .\ni\u2019m coming off super harsh , but i just have to be honest . there\u2019s nothing my man scott adkins or any of the other actors could have done to rescue this script . tighter direction and editing could have made the story snap and pop a little more , but ultimately all that is here is a boring mystery surrounding a dead girl that culminates in a none -

school students attend a circle session at restorative justice class at the augustus f . hawkins high school in los angeles , which recently reformed its discipline policies .\npolicymakers and educators , among others , are beginning to question the harsh discipline policies and practices that have in recent decades became popular in certain districts , too . research shows that the reliance on punitive school discipline like suspensions , expulsions , and school arrests\u2014\u201cschool pushout\u201d\u2014deprives students of learning time and takes the greatest toll on nonwhite students , students with disabilities , lgbt youth and other vulnerable student groups . suspensions can even harm the education of non - misbehaving students , according to some research .\nthe leadership team\u2019s 10 - point plan , released this july , includes reforms such as reducing racial disparities in suspensions and more transparent data collection . looking ahead , the team\u2019s recommendations leave rodriguez cautiously optimistic .\nresources are also a central theme in los angeles , where its relatively new and widely publicized discipline policy is causing consternation among some school staff . in 2013 los angeles unified school district banned all suspensions for \u201cwillful defiance\u201d \u2013 an ambiguous category , presumably similar to \u201cinsubordination , \u201d used for everything from dress - code violations to eating and talking in class . as in new york , this catch - all category of minor offenses accounted for a significant percentage of all student suspensions in california and some of the largest racial disparities in discipline .\nmorales , whose school is very small and reports few to no suspensions and expulsions , pointed to a misunderstanding of what willful defiance is , poor implementation of the new policy , inadequate training , and a shared commitment to the philosophy behind the ban as the source of most staff dissatisfaction . \u201cit was like , \u2018here\u2019s our new policy\u2019 . . . [ teachers ] still have their same biases , and now they\u2019re extra angry because their one method was to kick [ insubordinate students ] out , and there\u2019s just extra hostility\u201d because they\u2019re banned from using it . and morales said that one of the key tools she finds most effective is missing in the l . a . plan : student input . \u201cwhen teachers are resistant my fallback is to bring in student voice . how they ( students ) feel when they\u2019re having a bad day and acting a little weird and feel disrespected . \u201d she said it\u2019s really helpful for teachers to hear students\u2019 perspectives to \u201crethink it . \u201d\ndeveloping a school culture in which suspension is the last resort rather than the first is achievable , said morales , using her own school\u2014which serves a low - income , mostly latino student population\u2014as a prime example . \u201cyou can find other ways of addressing the problem with the same students everyone else teaches , \u201d she stressed . at garfield high school in east los angeles the same thinking applies , where graduation rates and academic outcomes appear to have improved as out - of - school suspensions declined . the garfield school team took suspensions \u201coff the table\u201d and transitioned to restorative conflict resolution , recognizing and rewarding positive student behaviors , and stronger ties with parents and the community .\ntrends like these make youth activists like rodriguez hopeful . \u201csuspensions are the easy way out . all you have to do is suspend a student and they\u2019ll be gone for up to a week , \u201d she said . \u201cbut that doesn\u2019t tackle the root of the problem . when a teacher takes a student out and talks to us , it shows us they care . it shows community . \u201d\nurltoken copyright ( c ) 2018 by the atlantic monthly group . all rights reserved .\ntwo former para - military operatives , johnny ( nguyen ) and his police detective friend peter ( boonthanakit ) search bangkok to find the killers of johnny ' s young daughter angel ( paosut ) and deliver retribution .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\nthe films directed by wych kaosayananda are very hit and miss with people . but it seems they are mainly a miss , and so is this one . i wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that his name actually contains an alternate spelling of the word \u2018chaos\u2019 ?\ndustin nguyen stars as johnny , a semi - retired black ops operative , trained by the cia in the us . it so happens that a former cia associate of his , named peter ( sahajak boonthanakit ) , is now a police officer in bangkok , thailand , who works in the sex crimes division . when the dead body of young woman is found floating in the river , peter is called in . he immediately recognizes her to be angel , the daughter of his friend . he makes a hasty trip to china to relate what has happened , even telling his friend to give him a few days to investigate just what happened , and then johnny can do what he needs to . when johnny arrives , he , peter , and karn , peter\u2019s partner , set out to run down the leads they have in order to discover the truth behind angel\u2019s demise , and who might have murdered her .\njohnny hasn\u2019t had any contact with his daughter in years , as she was taken away when her mother left her father . what johnny soon discovers is that his daughter willingly went into the sex trade industry , and that all her clientele loved her . specifically among those are her former pimp sammy ( gary daniels ) , and newly enamored boyfriend steven ( scott adkins ) . he learns that angel was considered too smart for her own good , being quite adept at manipulating men . all of this is discovered through peter and karn taking him into the seedy sex trade districts of bangkok . some of the information is found out by talking with friends and coworkers ; some through coercion .\nnguyen plays johnny as a father whose anger and desire for vengeance is always right below the surface . he\u2019s a professional , and he keeps his emotions in check for the most part , but just barely . his friend peter only wants to help johnny get to the truth , and even allow him his revenge , as long as it\u2019s kept on the down - low . unfortunately , that doesn\u2019t happen , and peter loses his position as a police officer . it tests their relationship , but doesn\u2019t break it .\ni know what you\u2019re thinking : you mean none of these guys face off against one another ?

yep . it might have lasted 90 seconds .\nso , what\u2019s the verdict ? well , i can\u2019t encourage you to spend your hard earned money on this . however , i do think it\u2019s worth seeing or renting . this movie has a lot going for it , but fails to deliver in many regards , especially the action . the plot is good , the acting is good , and the action is good , but there\u2019s not enough of it . and i don\u2019t mean there\u2019s a lack of martial arts action , even though there is . there\u2019s just a lack of steady action . the fact that the story has a slow build is fine , but that would still work with a couple of more action pieces building to a greater intensity at the end . i\u2019ve always been a fan of dustin nguyen , and at times in this he just seethes as a man trying to keep a tight rein on himself . he has great presence , is a good actor , and i was hoping to see him showcase his martial arts skills the way he did in the rebel against johnny tri - nguyen . sadly , that didn\u2019t happen . and what a waste to have fighting talent like kosugi , daniels , adkins , and nguyen , and then not utilize them .\njeff is an fbi agent sent to pick up ray manta , a member of the white hand drug cartel , from a mexican jail . manta escapes , and gets revenge by killing jeff ' s family . kowalski , another . . . see full summary \u00bb\njermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .\ndetective ray morgan accidentally kills the son of a mob boss . the mob boss orders to have morgan killed unknowing that the assassin killed morgan ' s wife and kids . now morgan ' s out for . . . see full summary \u00bb\ncop finds himself caught between an organzed crime gang and a ring of crooked cops .\nan undercover cop teams up with a martial - arts expert to stop a gang of drug smugglers and car thieves .\nchuck taylor is a charter pilot who unknowingly smuggles cocaine for the cartel into the u . s . unfortunately he is captured by the feds . ironically , so is tony king , boss of the cartel . the . . . see full summary \u00bb\nlaw and order\nmayorial candidate brigitte nielsen is the ruthless and racist leader of a secret neo - fascist group out to take control of the city by whatever means necessary .\non a mission to rescue some p . o . w .

protective rich dad of the heroine . ali\u2019s comedy as eunuch and his slang is humorous if you ignore the vulgarity aspect in it . ms narayana is alright .\nstory - screenplay - direction : the story of the film is prepared in such a way that it exploits and exhibits various histrionic aspects from the debut hero . that is the reason why the film starts with a sentiment scene , followed by action episode and then continued with romantic escapades . hence , the story of the film became a hotchpotch one . puri jagan\u2019s mark is there is certain scenes of the film , but his typical characterization is missing . he succeeded in showing ram charan\u2019s entry in an exciting style . the editing cuts and stylish taking in hero\u2019s introduction scene are excellent . puri jagan succeeded in presenting the hero very well . but in the process , he did not do justice to the story and screenplay . the second half should have been better .\nother departments : music by mani sharma is pretty good . all songs coupled with good picturization and cool visuals get the best out of ram charan teja . the way puri jagan added leads for the first two songs ( like mani ratnam ) is cool . cinematography by shyam k naidu is neat . puri jagan changed his dialogue style for this film .\nanalysis : the first half of the film is alright . the second half slows down a bit . the plus points of the film are ram charan teja , songs and fights . on the flip side a better heroine and a better second half would have done wonders to the film . this film proves that ram charan teja possess all qualities to become the next mega star . chiranjeevi\u2019s pulling capacity and puri jagan winning box office streak makes this film a hot proposition . we have to wait and see for the box office verdict .\nhome ] [ editorial ] [ movies ] [ trade ] [ audio ] [ research ] [ celebs ] [ nostalgia ] [ usa special ] [ hyd scene ] [ amchi mumbai ] [ about us ] [ site map ] [ links ] copyright \u00a91999 idlebrain . com . all rights reserved . privacy policy email\nthe film had completed its bangkok schedule and also the hyderabad schedule . again the unit left for bangkok for the final schedule .\nafter the launch and a few days of shooting at bangkok , the unit returned to hyderabad . a huge set was erected at annapurna studios at a cost of rs 70 lakhs , in which an action scene was shot under the choreography of fight master vijayan .\nlater , the unit left for bangkok to continue its shooting there . manisharma scored music for the movie .\naditya music had bagged the audio marketing rights of this movie at a fancy rate .\nit is reliably learnt that the audio would be released on august 22 , the birthday of the mega star . however , the audio release date is yet to be confirmed officially .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nthe\nmost anticipated indian movies and shows\nwidget tracks the real -

\u201890s magical girl contemporary . but whereas sailor moon brought back only its lead voice actress when the series was rebooted as sailor moon crystal , the new cardcaptor sakura will be reuniting practically its entire core vocal cast . sakura tenge will once again voice main character sakura kinomoto , and aya hisakawa will reprise her role as magical sidekick / adorable mascot character

most animated films . hong kong is presented as far more than a busy metropolis , with a diverse set of authentic locales being used to effectively portray the culture . unfortunately , the moments

chasing two strange birds , she is lead to a phantom world where she learns she was actually made to come to hong kong by a woman , madoushi , who apparently wants revenge on clow reed . with

release of the movie . geneon\u2019s translation of the series was fine as - is , so i have no problems with that . if only nisa did the same thing with the tv series . sorry nisa , i appreciate you for rescuing the license and your bd release of cardcaptor sakura is perfect in almost every way ( - i adore it \u2013 it\u2019s one of the best releases to date ) , but your subtitles will always suck . you need to outsource better translators , guys .\ninto clow ' s life . he ' s a very interesting character , and the story from his past in this movie i think would make a great anime series

popular series is based off a manga created . . .\nthe film concludes with everyone preparing to board a ferry and are about to return to japan . everyone does not remember anything , which the three

\u2013 episodes 1 - 35 \u2013 was released on dvd by madman in 2012 , and watching this series as an adult is one of those rare experiences when you enjoy the show as much as you did as a kid , if not more .\na 12 - volume \u2018magical girl\u2019 manga series , published between 1996 and 2000 , cardcaptor sakura was simultaneously turned into a 70 - episode anime tv series by madhouse \u2013 and acted as many a young person\u2019s gateway drug into an anime and manga obsession .\ncardcaptors is the american version of the japanese anime card captor sakura . the main characters are sakura avalon and li showron , who , assisted by keroberos ( kero ) , and sakura ' s best . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthere are quite a few good aspects to the film . the build up is really well done . the gradual escalation is very effective at creating stakes and tension for the scenario . if it hadn ' t led to a letdown then these could have been components of an excellent movie .\nsakura , the card captor , is quite endearing when catching cards and otherwise .\nlove revelation epiphany : sakura to syaoran ' s confession in the anime finale .\nsakura creates the nameless card with a winged heart . later this card merges with the nothing at the last minute to form the hope card , and ensuring that sakura and syaoran ' s love survive intact even against the otherwise unconquerable\nliteral cliffhanger : the final scene of the anime at the end of the sealed card movie , though after everything that ' s happened , it ' s a very mild example . it was eventually subverted : a lesser known fact is that the minor cliffhanger at the end of the anime was indeed settled by the bonus art poster \u25ca that came out in the dvd . also see what happened to the mouse ? below .\nclass trip : a recurring thing in the anime , allowing for sakura to deal with the card of the week or even the trial of the week come season 3 .\ncould not tell you why some people are disappointed in this movie . it ' s just like any of the better episodes of the series , but longer and with superior animation . you get to see sakura being cute in a variety of costumes , as well as her early - series blushing over yukito all the time and getting bullied by her onii - chan . to top it off , it has that sweet cardcaptor sakura flavor where even the antagonist ' s motives aren ' t necessarily as evil as they may seem at first , and leaves you feeling warm . i wouldn ' t ask for anything more .\nit\u2019s an accusation you\u2019ll hear lobbed at such groundbreaking shows as dragon ball z , sailor moon , and evangelion . but two decades later , hardly anyone has a bad word to say about cardcaptor sakura , which makes the decision to stay the course in terms of production staff sound like a very good call .\ncooldown hug : sakura does one to dash ' s physical form after converting it into a sakura card turns it rampant .\nloyal phlebotinum : the cards . however before the judgement , the cards choose either syaoran or sakura depending on who had the significant role in its capture .\noverall , while it could have been better considering i had to wait a whole month after the remastered dvd release to get the blu - ray version , discotek\u2019s release of the movie is pretty good . i mean , if you\u2019re a gigantic fan of english dubs then it\u2019ll probably suck for you , since the english dub on this release is from the worse ccs dub possible . but , to be all honest , i personally don\u2019t care that much about english dubs , especially when it comes to ccs , and i really believe that chunk of the anime fandom is insignificant when it comes to cardcaptor sakura . yes , i\u2019d love to see an english dub on the level of bang zoom\u2019s rendition of the second movie , but that\u2019s more of a bonus to me rather than a necessity . i\u2019m proud to have this displayed on my shelf , along with my blu - ray set of the tv series by nisa .\nsakura kinomoto has come a long way since first being chosen to be a cardcaptor . she ' s captured all the cards , made new friends and gained some insight into her own heart . now , she faces her ultimate challenge , finding the strength to confess her feelings to her true love\n- - container .\neven though it was written in the 90s , the anime feels very modern , partly because of how progressive it is in contrast to western kid\u2019s shows . one of the things i love about both the manga and anime series is how chill the show is about gay and lesbian love stories \u2013 something that is disappointingly rare in many western young adult stories . in cardcaptor sakura , nobody makes a big deal out of the fact that both sakura and syaoran have a crush on yukito .\nquite a while ago i reviewed cardcaptor sakura , a magical girl series from clamp and madhouse . it was a good anime , albeit not one of the best magical girl series i ' ve looked at . the series has gotten two films . let ' s look at the first , made in 1999 and written by clamp ' s ohkawa nanase .\n: the nothing card of the second movie after centuries being hidden and alone , is vehement on being reunited with it ' s fellow cards , whether they want it or not , and also has nothing against erasing huge populations of innocent beings in her frenzied search .\nthe characters in this film are quite average and don\u2019t deviate much from their personalities in the series . however while that might seem a bit negative , that entails the likeable personality of sakura . everything in this movie is done quite well , but where i feel plenty of praise is worthy of going to are the seiyuu , starting with tange sakura \u2019s rendition of sakura and continuing through with the rest of the characters . some examples , are also some well know names such as ogata megumi ( yukito tsukishiro ) and seki tomokazu ( touya kinomoto ) .\namong others , the ending is the most notable case in the series . the manga explicitly states\nten - year - old sakura lives a pretty normal life with her older brother , toya , and widowed father , fujitaka . or she did , until the day she returned home from school to discover a glowing book in her father\u2019s study . after opening the book and releasing the cards within , sakura is tasked with collecting each of these magical cards while balancing her life as a normal fourth grader . join cardcaptor sakura on her heartwarming tale of love , excitement , and adventure !\nin the episode when sakura catches the power card yamazaki ' s eyes open for a moment when he and syaoran are startled by the loud noise and the ground shaking at the zoo .\nit really annoyed me they called sakura\ncherry\ninstead of\nsakura\nin the korean version . i guess its a japanese language prohibition thing ?\nyes , when ccs came out in korea in 1999 korea was just starting to loosen up on its ban of japanese cultural products so sakura ' s name was changed to cherry . though they still do that today , where in the disney movie big hero 6 they slightly changed hiro ' s name to hero ,\nepisode 27 - the first time sakura hugs syaoran . already completely exhausted , the shock of it proves too much for the poor kid .\nwhile some may question the seeming reluctance to bring new blood into the production team , cardcaptor sakura occupies a unique place in the anime world . many fans get drawn into the hobby by an influential or vibrant series , falling head over heels in love with it as they watch every episode , movie , and spin - off available . but once they wade further out into the vast ocean of japanese animation , and find something that fits better with their individual definition of \u201cquality , \u201d it\u2019s not uncommon for them to look back on their personal gateway title and exasperatedly say , \u201cwow , i can\u2019t believe i was ever so into that . \u201d\nin episode 36 sakura calls in firery to melt all the snow . melting that amount would flood the entire city .\nsakura stumbled upon the book of clow cards in a library . accidentally setting the magical cards loose , it ' s now up to sakura to catch them all with her best friend tomoyo , and kerberos , the guardian of the cards .\ncreepy cool crosses : some of sakura ' s outfits have crosses on them , although sakura is implied to be shinto rather than christian .\nsyaoran and sakura start like this , but it ' s not long before it gets averted as sakura has problems resenting syaoran as one .\nnot only is nelvana\u2019s english dub bad , but unlike the japanese track , there\u2019s no lossless audio track for this . it isn\u2019t consequential , since real cardcaptor sakura fans are probably going to listen to the japanese audio anyway ( with the graces of tange sakura , hisakawa aya , and whatnot ) . plus , the presence of the english dub , unlike nisa\u2019s blu - ray release of the series , didn\u2019t come at the expense of 5 . 1 surround sound . it\u2019s good that people who don\u2019t have the capacity to listen to foreign languages didn\u2019t ruin things for me this time around !\nyamazaki . a running gag in the series is sakura and syaoran falling for it every time .\neven the guys want him : yukito has sakura , syaoran , and touya fall for him .\nbreak the cutie : there are several events that make sakura sad enough to cry , such as the fallout of catching sleep or the final judgement .\ncute bruiser : the power and the fight have attractive humanoid forms . also , meiling and syaoran , and even sakura when she uses the power card .\nmundane utility : because the flower shop was closed , sakura once used the flower to make an armful of flowers she wanted .\n: sakura accidentally releases all the clow cards from what was supposed to be their final resting place .\nluckily , kaho mizuki comes to the rescue with her shrine bell , giving sakura a second chance .\nthe first clear card sakura captures / creates is gale , an apparent sequel / upgrade to windy .\nthen , the plot is also interesting in the involvement of the mysterious lady ( who is not in the regular series ) who wants to meet with clow reed . it is not a radically new plot as many aspects of cardcaptor sakura are still visible within the film . it is interesting in taking whatever one has watched throughout the series and applying it to a new dynamic storyline . while this is that this does not really add any enhancement to the plot in regards to the overall series , it provides a new and enjoyable and intriguing storyline .\nif sakura loses to yue at the final judgment , everyone connected to the cards will lose the memories and feelings tied to the person they love most . it almost happens , too .\nthe dividual : for logistical purposes , the light and the dark are generally regarded as a pair . sakura even complies with their request to be sealed together .\n. if it counts , windy is also the first card to be used with sakura ' s star rod ( though it was not transformed into a sakura card until later ) .\nno hugging , no kissing : nelvana ' s cardcaptors dub managed to , somehow , turn a romance - heavy anime into a no hugging no kissing series . this isn ' t just about the controversial stuff ; even the most acceptable pairs ( mainly syaoran / sakura ) became devoid of romantic interest . this became particularly bad in the sakura cards arc , in which syaoran ' s feelings towards sakura sometimes got 50 % of an episode . in the dub , all the romantic scenes are cut out and the dialogue is changed to some more generic subjects ( fighting the forces of evil , etc ) . to fill in the minutes of lost footage , many flashbacks were added . for example , while cardcaptor sakura last episode is an intense , emotion - filled finale , cardcaptors last episode is almost a clip show .\nthis may look plain , but take a look at which finger sakura is holding one of the clow cards without the other indexes . \u25ca\nkansai regional accent : kerberos , the beast of the seal who guards the clow cards , spent a while in osaka and picked up the accent . lampshaded by sakura as soon as she heard him speak for the first time .\nit\u2019s not bad at all \u2013 in fact , it\u2019s a really cute anime artwork of sakura in her movie outfit . the thing is , the japanese version\u2019s modern ( ! ) clamp artwork looks even better ; the art is scrumptious . plus , it was a new treat for the 2011 japanese blu - ray remaster of the film . new material straight from clamp themselves . in comparison . the artwork we got is essentially taken straight from an old film poster and lacks that novelty . discotek / eastern star could have done so much more with the cover art .\npinky swear : sakura and syaoran . he ' s too overwhelmed to refuse !\nfree sample plot coupon : in the first episode , while the rest of the clow cards were freed , the windy remains ( sakura having had it in her hand when she read its name ) .\nthe official english release of the manga has syaoran calling sakura by her first name in one of their exchanges in chapter 17 , even though the japanese keeps the hey you approach . this becomes inconsistent when syaoran dramatically calls sakura by her name for what ' s supposed to be the first time in chapter 23 , which makes sakura really happy and prompts her to call him by his first name ; in the english release the two keep the same conversation , making sakura ' s\nyou ' ve never called me by my first name before !\nhilariously wrong .\nmood whiplash : the sleep card episode . for the most part , it is a cheerful glimpse into sakura ' s dad ' s university life with sakura ever so eager to help . and then , just after she seals the card , disaster strikes .\nkaho at the end of the clow card arc in both versions , though as she writes letters to sakura , her presence is still felt .\nonly sakura and syaoran notice the strange occurrences with the clow cards because everyone else ' s minds reject that which they can ' t understand .\nbittersweet ending : the nelvana dub did not release the sealed card and cut out most of the final episode ' s romantic context , including the final airport scene . meaning that sakura and syaoran do not happily reunite and the series ends rather bleakly on the note of syaoran leaving forever and sakura creating her 53rd card through her tears ( which through startling coincidence , the dub edits as\nthe hope\n) .\nthe cutie : the show really emphasises sakura ' s innocence . the cardcaptors dub tried to tone this down , if only to the extent of being a standard sweet little kid than overwhelmingly kind and cheery .\nfalse starts : most of the second half of the manga and season 3 of the anime is about syaoran trying to work up the nerve for a love confession and something interrupting . the sealed card likewise but from sakura ' s side .\nstar power : the whole second series is about sakura having to transfer the clow cards from their old energy source ( the sun and the moon , which her predecessor used ) over to her power source - the power of her star .\nprobably because the nothing was merged with the nameless card to become a sakura card ( the hope ) , which was made from sakura ' s love for syaoran . thus , it acted something like a very effective curse escape clause ; the\nprice\nwas still paid in a fashion .\nsummary ( on back ) :\nsakura kinomoto has come a long way since first being chosen to be a cardcaptor . she ' s captured all the cards , made new friends and gained some insight into her own heart . now , she faces her ultimate challenge , finding the strength to confess her feelings to her true love . while struggling with her heart , a mysterious force has begun stealing her cards and threatens to take away what she truly cherishes . can sakura find the inner strength she needs to take on this final challenge ?\nwhile in the marketplace , sakura is lead into a bookstore where she meets the sorceress su yung , who hates clow reed , the wizard who created the magical clow cards . the sorceress captures julian , meilin , li , and tori in water bubbles and keeps them captive . sakura must teach the evil sorceress the truth about clow reed in a great battle to save her friends .\ndue to the other candidate being exhausted at the time . the card was sealed and transformed but\n: especially in the nelvana dub , it ' s sometimes baffling how long it takes sakura and madison to even consider that a clow card is behind the strangeness of the week .\nin the episode\nsakura and her kind father ,\nwhile capturing a card sakura accidentally breaks the laptop containing the research her dad had slaved over for days . the whole scene is played in an actual heartbreaking way , as she realizes this is something she can ' t fix with magic .\nhappy ending : both manga and anime . both share a feature : post love confessions , the moment sakura hugs syaoran , the series is over .\nthe seemingly cold and unfeeling moon guardian yue of all people turns out to have these tendencies , especially towards sakura .\nrarely if ever mentioned beyond its introduction , but sakura and tomoyo are second cousins .\ngirls love stuffed animals : sakura ' s friends have them and shop for them . kero has to act this part for sakura and it works because of this trope .\npimped out dress : sakura ' s outfits are frequently like this thanks to tomoyo .\nit ' s around the point where sakura finds herself drawn to a shrine that things steadily go downhill . most notably , li and meiling show up from absolutely nowhere . in the exact same area of a massive city , with no prior knowledge that either group would even be there . there ' s even the cliche of bumping into each other in meiling ' s case . how is the viewer supposed to take the movie seriously when it relies on absurd plot conveniences so early on ? an explanation may have made the scene less silly , but there is not even that .\nwhat are you doing here ?\n, asks sakura . a question left unanswered .\nmoment killer : too many to list , but syaoran ' s attempted love confessions and touya trying to tell yukito the truth about himself , and then in the sealed card sakura ' s own attempts at love confessions . in fact one occasion sakura was interrupted by the nothing in a play while playing the part of the princess about to tell the prince how she feels .\nsyaoran is forced by his mother to accompany sakura and the others around the city . however , sakura encounters a woman with the same magical presence she has been feeling and uses water as her weapon . one by one , the spirit captures toya , yukito , tomoyo , and meiling . sakura and syaoran team up to save their friends . while syaoran fights the woman , sakura frees tomoyo . however syaoran is defeated and captured , and he orders sakura to run and save everyone . coming back into the room sakura tries and fails to find the book that transported them to the other dimension . now back in the hotel room kero tells sakura and tomoyo a tale of when clow reed met and fell in love with a fortune teller ( a hydromancer ) in hong kong . his magic had caused her to use the magic for evil and so clow reed trapped her in a magical prison , and with that she vowed revenge against him .\nsour supporter : the dub tried to make syaoran bitter over sakura winning the final judgement instead of him ( likely to fill the large hole cutting out his romantic sub plot left ) . this is lacking in the original , outside some failed jerkass fa\u00e7ade moments , syaoran had lost almost all of his competitive streak by the time sakura won .\nmissing mom : sakura ' s mom , nadeshiko died when sakura was only three . on a few occasions her ghost appears , once as a trick by a clow card and another when she checks on sakura when she ' s sick and helps relieve her fever .\nthe \u201cspecial features\u201d present in this release are just the japanese tv / theatrical trailers and the english trailer for the movie\u2026 which you could probably search up youtube . it\u2019s not much , but most home releases rarely have amazing special features to begin with , so it would be silly to trash disotek\u2019s release based on that alone ( especially since it was the same for the japanese release as well ) \u2026 though i always appreciate a couple of interviews or making - of videos if possible . personally , the english trailer is great enough as an extra feature , because of the drama\ntrain station goodbye : airport goodbye . with meiling , twice . also the tv series ending and the last chapter of the manga , when syaoran has to go back to hong kong and sakura meets him at the airport .\nsome manga translations switched . the german version , in volume 1 until 4 , sakura and syaoran refer to each other by first name . volume 5 , though , switches it to syaoran not using her name at all ( until sakura falls down a crack in the ground and he yells her name ) while sakura calls him li .\nin the anime not all of the 53 cards were shown being captured . the through for example .\nclip its wings : in the penultimate episode , sakura attempts to use the fly card to fight . her opponent shoots one of the wings with a laser blast , setting it on fire .\ntouya has one for sakura to the point where he can tell the difference between her and the mirror . lampshaded by yukito in which he tells touya he has a ' little sister complex ' . the fact that he met syaoran when he was trying to bully sakura into giving him the cards she had caught until then really doesn ' t help .\ndue to episode shuffling , the dub has kero advising sakura to use windy , fly , and shadow to capture the watery card because they ' re her oldest cards . in the actual anime , those are the only cards she had at the time . even worse , an episode that aired beforehand in that run showed sakura as already possessing watery .\na clow card , the arrow , is pulling back the string of a bow . the card releases the bow string , and the single glowing arrow fired turns into many , which start raining down on sakura and kero as they attempt to fly away and escape\nwhen trying to figure out how to go back to the woman to save their friends , sakura remembers the well and realises that that ' s the place to go . arriving at the well the three find out there is a barrier around the well house , when trying to figure out how to get in they hear footsteps coming toward them . syaoran ' s mother shows up and splits the barrier for sakura . telling tomoyo to stay , sakura goes in to the well alone . while going through , kero tells sakura to think of where she wants to go . she thinks\ni want to go to where my friends are\n, she arrives in a room . the birds from before are there and flies away . sakura runs and arrives at a door . she opens the door to find water filled up to the top of the roof . walking she swims to the top to once again confront the fortune teller .\njoin sakura and her friends on the most unbelievable adventure ever ! sakura wins a trip for 4 to hong kong ; the place where clow reed , kero , yue and the clow cards once lived . her excitement fades when an ominous force calls out to sakura in her dreams reminding her that clow reed ' s vengeful legacy lingers in the back alleys of li ' s hometown . now , for the first time , sakura must call upon her cards to combat a true menace . if she fails , her family and friends will be trapped in the phantom world !\n. the manga also explains why the motorbike disappears ; it ' s because sakura wouldn ' t be able to keep up with a motorbike on her rollerblades .\ndiscotek\u2019s subtitles are an accurate translation of the japanese dialogue , and the english of the translation flows pretty smoothly . characters also call each other by their respective given names and surnames as they\u2019re supposed to . for example , sakura should be calling syaoran \u201cli\u201d ( at this point of the ccs timeline ) and meiling should be calling sakura \u201ckinomoto\u201d , which discotek\u2019s subtitles get right . compare this to nisa\u2019s rather bad translation , where sakura instead calls syaoran \u201cxiaolang\u201d ( valid pinyin spelling of his name ) and meiling calls sakura \u201csakura\u201d . the former causes a problem later when sakura , in japanese , starts calling syaoran by his given name to show how specially close they\u2019ve gotten . nisa\u2019s translation has her start calling him \u201cbestie\u201d , which is pretty far off from the connotation that clamp was going for with sakura\u2019s character development . in fact , that\u2019s pretty much the friendzone in contemporary american culture .\nthe ditz : sakura and meiling whenever her genkiness goes overboard . these two also seem to take turns at this trope . when one of them acts the ditz , the other usually is intelligent .\nsakura uses it to take the sword card from rika by having the illusion card transform into their teacher , whom rika has a crush on ( and in the manga an actual relationship with ) .\nbig\nwhat ? !\n: kero ' s reaction to sakura admitting she accidentally released all the cards in episode 1 .\nmagical girl : sakura is one of the most well - known examples of this trope , second only to sailor moon herself .\nsonomi manages to make time to attend sakura ' s school sporting events and even chaperone her on vacation . anytime they ' re on screen together sonomi fusses over sakura and practically ignores tomoyo\ncherry blossoms : sakura ' s namesake ; she roller - blades through a shower of them in the first episode . also appears in touching scenes in the manga .\nvoices are mental : averted in the original ; only the speech patterns switch with the characters ' minds .\na girl in 4th grade , sakura kinomoto , opened a strange book and let dozens of powerful magic cards loose on the world . keroberous , the guardian of the clow cards , informs sakura that it is now her responsibility to find and capture the freed cards . sakura wins a trip for 4 to hong kong where clow reed , kero , yue and the clow cards once lived . in hong kong , sakura must call upon her cards to combat a true menace . if she fails , her family and friends will be trapped in a phantom world ."]}

( it ' s not that questionable ; johnson actually shouted out the film ' s lawyer following its sundance screening . ) set against the backdrop of the cold war in 1967 , it ' s by turns a buddy comedy , a thriller , a conspiracy theory film , and\u2014thanks to a gnarly car chase\u2014an action movie . it starts out like a christopher guest film , winds its way through oliver stone\u2019s jfk and / or wag the dog , and eventually becomes enemy of the state .\nthe moon landing conspiracy theories claim that some or all elements of the apollo program and the associated moon landings were hoaxes staged by nasa with the aid of other organisations . operation avalanche was the preceding order in the arms and space race to bankrupt the soviet union in the cold war .\nit also looks like vintage film , with much grainy b & w and desaturated colour imagery .\ncurt lobb : pablo would mess with the film reels ; he\u2019d dirty and scratch them up .\nnew print created by sundance institute and ucla film & television archive . shown by permission of miramax\nwhat kept running through my mind throughout the last third of operation avalanche was just how much better the film could have been if it had ditched the found footage conceit and told its story in a more conventional form ; if it could have focused on simply telling the best version of this story instead of constantly servicing the set - up . matt johnson\u2019s first film , the dirties , followed a similar approach , using a meta - documentary premise to tell the story of a pair of friends making a movie about bullying that goes horribly awry . it\u2019s clear he\u2019s comfortable with the format , and to his credit operation avalanche is more ambitious in every possible way . but it\u2019s already clear that johnson is a young filmmaker who has outgrown this particular bit of cinematic sleight of hand .\noperation avalanche is a period found footage film following a pair of young cia agents ( matt johnson and owen williams ) who initially go undercover at nasa to expose a russian mole . but while posing as a documentary crew , they actually learn that there\u2019s no way nasa is going to win the race to the moon . so they have an idea , and you already know what it is .\nhis follow -

up scheme . that moment never came , and i can ' t help but feel that ' s because johnson and boles didn ' t do enough research on the type of characters who would , in the ' 60s , leap at the chance to fake the moon - landing . you can only coast so far on a novel idea ' s fumes , and\noperation avalanche\ndoesn ' t go far enough .\nstay on top of the latest breaking film and tv news ! sign up for our email newsletters here .\noperation avalanche is set to enjoy its world premiere at the sundance film festival in park city , utah , later this month . the logline is appealing : a pair of cia agents infiltrate nasa in 1967 and endeavour to fake the moon landing \u2013 a period mockumentary . but when johnson wants to make a movie about the infiltration of nasa , he isn ' t content to merely stage it . he needs to infiltrate nasa for real .\nhere are the salient points : johnson\u2019s first film , the dirties , didn\u2019t play tiff , and johnson chose to take operation avalanche to sundance 2016 rather than offer it to tiff 2015 . plenty of canadian filmmakers aren\u2019t happy with tiff , but few of them will say so on the record , so johnson instantly became a maverick . he\u2019s also willing to discuss his dissatisfaction with telefilm canada\u2019s funding preferences , and that has generated even more coverage .\nreviewed at sundance film festival ( next ) , jan . 28 , 2016 . running time : 94 min .\nstranger things is a great example of that . it has the look of an \u201980s movie through and through , but you know it\u2019s not an \u201980s movie because you\u2019re not watching it on film . film does all these weird things that look like mistakes , but you can\u2019t plan them . through this process , we discovered that if you want something to look like it\u2019s on film , the only way to get that look consistently is to actually use film .\na multimillion - dollar car chase , mind you , requires more than the will of one man ' s creative aspirations . johnson was afforded the opportunity by lions gate entertainment , which will distribute operation avalanche in the united states this year . that ' s a rare privilege for an independent filmmaker from toronto ; few reach escape velocity and make it stateside . johnson is of course well aware of that \u2013 and made the decision himself to premiere at sundance rather than locally , at the toronto international film festival , which had invited him to screen the film this past september .\noperation avalanche is a very difficult beast to describe , but an easy one to love . set in the late 1960s during the simultaneous cold war and space race between the u . s . and russia , it\u2019s structured like a documentary within a documentary , but it plays like a vintage espionage thriller or 1970s paranoia classic like the parallax view .\nhe definitely has a point . tiff and telefilm could both be doing a lot better by emerging filmmakers ; johnson\u2019s sparked a conversation the industry very badly needs to have , and i\u2019m really glad he\u2019s done this . but now that operation avalanche is playing in town , we have to shift the focus back to the movie , not its maker .\nacross the walls of the zapruder offices sprawl pages of script notes and storyboards for projects in the works \u2013 bigger and more ambitious projects than even operation avalanche , though of the details i have for now been sworn to secrecy . but i do wonder if johnson isn ' t concerned about having his intentions so plainly on display . not a chance .\nnecessary to be a late - night talk radio / dorm room smoke session favorite : a super - secret government organization ( probably the cia ) enlists a filmmaker ( possibly stanley kubrick ) to fake footage of us astronauts on the moon . matt johnson milks this preposterous idea for drama and laughs in * operation avalanche , * which opened at sundance last week .\nsign up : stay on top of the latest breaking film and tv news ! sign up for our email newsletters here .\njohnson : i think it had to start as something linked to a new film , but hopefully the conversation keeps going .\nwe ' re thrilled to be in good company at the guanajuato international film festival , mexico : urltoken - july 23rd .\nucla film & television archive , in conjunction with the sundance institute and others , has digitally preserved and / or has had new prints created for the following films , which premiered at the sundance film festival and will be shown again in january .\nbut here ' s the crazy part : the makers of\noperation avalanche\nsay they really did lie to nasa so they could gain access to the johnson space center in houston , texas . there , they told nasa that they were filming a real documentary about the moon landing . instead , the filmmakers created a hilarious but fake documentary about faking the moon landing .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\nafter\nthe dirties\npicked up the grand jury prize at the slamdance film festival , the 31 - year - old toronto - based filmmaker and his crew thought about expanding the model they created for the first film and make a period documentary .\noperation avalanche is , in the end , a clever entertainment , but all the work that johnson , boles , and co . have put in \u2014 the savvy recreations and incorporation , the documentary - style filming , not to mention plugging into a world of conspiracies both imagined and real \u2014 gives it extra resonance . for what emerges is a portrait of a time period when our whole relationship with the filmed image was beginning to change . americans had already seen a president shot on tv . they would soon see men walking on the moon , even as they also saw images of death and destruction in vietnam . the earnest enthusiasm with which operation avalanche begins , and the paranoia and fear toward which it proceeds , chart the course of an entire nation .\nand operation avalanche is\u2026 well , it\u2019s fine . conceptually , it\u2019s pretty nifty , taking the form of a found - footage conspiracy thriller about a pair of junior cia agents ( johnson and his dirties co - star owen williams , once again using their own names for their characters ) who attempt to out a russian mole at nasa and wind up faking the apollo 11 moon landing .\nthe one thing i really like about operation avalanche that really kind of sets it apart from other indie flicks is that it feels like a lot of indie directors are trying to go for this darker , nihilistic or pessimistic tone , and there\u2019s such an air of optimism in this film . especially with your character \u2013 no matter what obstacle you put in his way , he\u2019s going to get it accomplished , which \u2013 after speaking with you a few times \u2013 seems like just an extension of who you really are .\nmm : especially [ documentaries ] from the period , especially the look of the film , all those seminal docs from the 60s .\nthe sequence is simply delightful , and it\u2019s operation avalanche at its very best : clever , funny , and so in love with movies themselves that it nearly forces you to smile . those kind of flashes come throughout the film \u2014 it may be the only found footage movie i\u2019ve ever seen where they show somebody actually cutting the footage you\u2019re watching \u2014 but that delight starts to fall away as the team begins to suspect that they\u2019re being hunted by russian agents , or even worse , double - crossed by the cia because they know too much .\nwhat they\u2019re really doing is trying to unmask a russian mole within nasa , but in the course of their sleuthing , they discover nasa has been hiding an earth - shaking fact : the space agency is nowhere near ready to land a man on the moon , not in time to meet the end - of - decade deadline set by late president john f . kennedy , whose bold challenge opens operation avalanche .\njust don ' t ask them to give you justifications for the more implausible footage ostensibly captured by the film -

buff character he plays in the movie ( a character named , appropriately enough , matt johnson ) . \u201cwhat piece of cinema is more famous than neil armstrong walking on the moon ? \u201d the only other possible contender is probably the one that gave johnson\u2019s production company its name : zapruder films .\nturning lack of sophistication into a virtue is a skill that the filmmaking hyphenate matt johnson has in abundance . three years ago , he directed and starred in his first feature , \u201cthe dirties , \u201d a shrewd commentary on the warped relationship between image and reality . now he and his prime collaborator , owen williams , are back to poke that beast some more with \u201coperation avalanche , \u201d a cold war comedy - thriller pulsing with paranoia .\nthe film is directed by matt johnson , who co - wrote the script with josh boles . johnson previously directed \u201cthe dirties , \u201d about two high school best friends who make a film about getting revenge on school bullies only for one of them to take it more seriously than the other .\njohnson , who recently received a master ' s degree in film at york university in toronto , chatted on the phone from his hometown this week .\nvilleneuve\u2019s next film is the hotly anticipated blade runner 2049 with ryan gosling and harrison ford . presenting the prize , mckellar joked that the director\u2019s last film , the science - fiction drama arrival , was really about bilingualism , and an alien race that comes to earth and forces us to learn their language .\nwhile i prefer matt johnson ' s more comedic work , operation avalanche ' s more dramatic approach is pretty effective . it ' s clear a lot of thought and care went into developing the world and logic . the visual aesthetic , too , is pretty remarkable , especially considering the fact it was filmed with a blackmagic pocket cinema camera - and the amount of ' illegal ' filming that they actually got away with is also pretty impressive to learn about .\ningeniously using his low budget to address his ambitions , johnson has directed , co - written ( and starred in ) a unique science - fiction film .\nfor his first film , 2013 ' s\nthe dirties ,\nwhich revolved around two high school friends making a film about the school ' s bullies that goes awry , matt johnson wanted to make it so authentic he enrolled in a high school and convinced students and teachers he was an actual student .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\ni left the film thinking of shakespeare\u2019s famous line : \u201cthere are more things in heaven and earth , horatio , than are dreamt of in your philosophy . \u201d\ncongratulations to the class of 2018 ! above is a snapshot of the thesis film projects completed by the this year\u2019s graduating class . this reel features the narrative , animation / visual effects and documentary projects created by the 2018 graduates of dodge college of film and media arts at chapman university . this video was compiled and edited by\nit\u2019s very hard to convince people of that when you\u2019re dreading the result . and in many ways , operation avalanche talks about where that can lead , and the really dark , awful places that can take people like me . which it did \u2013 the story of that movie is very much the story of that movie getting made . but i think that real life is pretty optimistic and buoyant , and when movies come out that try to say it\u2019s not , i try to reject that .\nultimately , the movie falls apart for the same reason so many other found - footage films do : it wants to tell a bigger story than the premise allows . watching documentary footage of johnson and his team building a fake lunar rover on a soundstage makes complete sense within the framework of the film ; accepting that somebody\u2019s going to keep a camera rolling when people\u2019s lives are at stake , or when the characters find themselves in a high - speed car chase with bullets whizzing by , simply doesn\u2019t . if i\u2019m thinking about the feasibility of the style , i\u2019m not inside the world of the movie \u2014 and operation avalanche kicked me out time and again .\nwe did a full color grade on the digital and then our film artist did multiple prints on different film stocks to get different [ looks ] . we did physical damage . i took a piece of the movie , hung it on my bike and rode my bike around the university campus so that it would get all destroyed .\nthis apollo - era would - be suspense - thriller mockumentary is more an exercise in ' look how film - school cool and clever we are ' than anything else .\nin 1967 , four undercover cia agents were sent to nasa posing as a documentary film crew . what they discovered led to one of the biggest conspiracies in american history .\nit\u2019s not the cleanest of set - ups , and the with the actors playing roles named after themselves and the film we\u2019re watching ostensibly a documentary made by the group\u2019s own team , the movie starts eating its own tail pretty early on . but operation avalanche is nevertheless a blast in the early stages , blurring the lines between reality and fiction as the duo first set up shop at nasa , then start outlining how they\u2019d actually fake footage from the moon . johnson isn\u2019t terribly strong as an actor , particularly in the heavier dramatic scenes , but he nails the overeager , selfish buffoon aspect of his character , and is immensely entertaining even while his character alienates the members of his team .\nit seemed awfully easy to for you and your crew to get permission from nasa to film there by telling them you were college students doing a documentary on the apollo mission .\nthese kids are similar to our film\u2019s characters . they\u2019re just guys messing around with a movie camera , which is why that footage of them goofing around in the street and waving to people fit so well in our film . because filmmakers were so serious during that era , very little footage of that kind of jovial , loose camera stuff exists on 16mm .\nwhile i was on a shooting hiatus with my last film , in football we trust , i lived in israel / palestine for 7 months on a rotary ambassadorial scholarship , which i had been awarded after graduating from chapman university . while there , i taught film , mentored local filmmakers , assisted ngos launch media advocacy projects , and continued my post - graduate\nit sounds like comedy , and the film has many funny moments \u2014 but there are also many frightening ones , when other players in the scenario set out to silence any squealers .\nmuch like the characters they portray in the film , johnson and his team gained access to nasa under false pretenses \u2013 they posed as a documentary crew shooting a film about the apollo missions . when you see their onscreen counterparts inside mission control , those aren\u2019t sets \u2013 they\u2019re the actual locations , and in most cases the crew had only a single take to get the scene just right . the result is an engrossing and entertaining film about one of the oldest conspiracy theories in america , and the ambitious cia agents who managed to pull it off .\nthey just do a fantastic job of showing how the moon landing could have been convincingly faked to a pre -

writer josh boles , who also stars in the film , don\u2019t actually believe that apollo 11 was a hoax . they studied the many conspiracies theories out there , as any fan of the x - files would tell you .\nmj : it\u2019s mostly what you see in the movie . in both cases , in fact , what we show the audience is more or less what we did . with nasa , we went in posing as a documentary film crew saying that we were from a film school in toronto , which we both were at the time . and we said we were making a documentary about the apollo program , in the exact same way the characters say they\u2019re making a documentary about the apollo program .\nthe canada majority copro with france , which is currently vying for a best foreign language film nomination for the 2017 oscars , was produced by dolan and nancy grant of sons of manual , nathana\u00ebl karmitz of paris - based mk2 and sylvain corbeil .\nwith a full budget of $ 1 . 25 million and a physical production budget of just $ 400 , 000 , johnson and his team needed to keep costs down . this was helped by their need to be discrete , forcing them to use no additional lighting as well as use small lavalier mics with zoom recorders . their choice of lenses , old bolex glass from the 40s and 50s , also helped keep costs down while helping them achieve the filmic look that was necesary for the period piece . shooting in prores helped save digital space and kept them from needing too many sd cards . the other half of their budget , roughly another $ 400 , 000 , went toward licensing music for operation avalanche , such as tracks from creedence clearwater revival .\nyou know what ? it ' s pass / fail . i passed . my professors were really happy with the film . they thought i was crazy at first , but in the end i think they were surprised i was able to do it .\n, i wish they didn\u2019t include press on my film because it\u2019s now angled the story so it seems as though i\u2019m talking about my own career in relation to telefilm . i\u2019ve made out fine ; i just understand that system because i went through those things .\njohnson : as lightly as we could . what i didn\u2019t want was for him to be a character in the film and have someone play him , it would be so hokey\u2014but as soon as tristan zerafa was like , ' i can just make him .

that\u2019s a good question because i ' m sure it could get misconstrued that we think that that this is almost like a proof of concept that the moon landing was faked . and because you put so much work into this film and we want audiences watch it , it\u2019s almost like we ' re trying to create a thesis that this is how it happened , and you should believe this . but really that\u2019s a very surface reading of what this movie\u2019s actually about .\nour producers are always telling us to shred our creative documents . why ? this is the great gift of the things we do : they ' re not stealable . somebody could have gotten a hold of our avalanche script before we made the movie . what are they going to do ? it says to sneak into nasa and stage a $ 2 - million car chase . what is anyone going to do with this ?\njr : get it as close as possible . we noticed that when we went to film , it smoothed out everything . it took all of the slight differences , the curves , and the grain structure , and it painted a layer over the top that gave it a unified look .\nas much of the film is \u201cshot secretly\u201d in places such as nasa and stanley kubrick\u2019s london studios , matt johnson and his cinematographers / performers andrew appelle and jared raab needed the blackmagic pocket cinema camera to get great footage while being as low profile as possible . \u201cwe needed a camera you could have under your coat , \u201d says johnson . but not just any camera of course , one you could shoot a film on . the pocket cinema camera ( which , as appelle points out , had only been out for less than a month ) was their camera of choice for these secretive shoots because of its size combined with its dynamic range . as raab explains , \u201cwhen we found the pocket camera it just fit both something tiny and compact , where we could do our secret shooting , but it also had the dynamic range that could totally sell this film . \u201d\nso he called mike after the film to say \u201chey , i just saw this\u201d and he gave him my phone number . so i\u2019m hoping the individuals at nasa get a chance to see it and have the same response that these guys did , because they went wild . it was awesome .\nmj : no , we haven ' t heard from either of them , but we reached out to nasa because obviously galveston is not too far away from austin [ where the film played at sxsw ] , inviting the people from nasa to come to the screening , but we haven\u2019t heard anything yet .\na film like this is a lot like watching an incredibly well constructed and performed magic trick ; convincing you that what you ' re seeing is real , even if it goes against everything you ' ve known before hand , and there ' s a greater sense of relief and satisfaction when everything comes together flawlessly .\nmj : and of people having so much power . in our film , two guys essentially are changing history because the c . i . a thinks that ' s going to be good for the cold war , not really seeing the ethical dilemmas that owen keeps bringing up during the film . and of course because matt cares about nothing other than his own self - promotion , he doesn ' t ask those questions of himself at all until the very , very end when he thinks , \u201coh wow , maybe i shouldn ' t have done this . maybe the costs to success are higher than i had first thought . \u201d\nthis movie is not based on a true story . nasa really has landed six missions and 12 astronauts on the moon . but the film will likely spark the interest of conspiracy theorists who believe nasa did , in fact , fake the moon landing \u2014 which it didn ' t . [ top 10 apollo hoax theories ]\nwe needed them to [ find ] the film clips , which they did , which was really amazing . right now that photographic department is closed at nasa , sadly . nasa is criminally underfunded . our production company is the largest individual carrier of nasa archival footage in the world . it ' s actually kind of sad ."]}

machine is not much more than an enlarged accumulator , and means of locomotion are much the same . the future is disappointing ; one has , apparently , to run rather more than usual . not only down streets , in crowds , but singly through catacombs and even from door to door in the same room . eric had need of that race at the beginning , to keep him fit , and as for his fight with the inventor on the cathedral roof - he saw that in a twentieth - century film . the fight lost its terror for me because i had always been told pulverising rays would be more common than telephones .\nanyway , during the play there is an absurdly long combat scene with lots of fake gunshots , explosions , and general commotion . gregory\u2019s men take advantage of the noise to blow the vault door , steal the sunburst diamond , and skedaddle through a tunnel leading from the bank to the theater . but claire notices her suave producer descending into a hole in the floor and gets suspicious .\nboth stars were on the rise in hollywood : arthur had been working in movies since the early 1920s , but she really hit her stride in the mid \u201930s with the whole town\u2019s talking ( 1935 ) and mr . deeds goes to town ( 1936 ) . in fact , as you can see from this lobby card , the publicity for adventure in manhattan emphasized arthur\u2019s star turn in mr . deeds .\namerican airlines and the douglas aircraft company , recognizing the potential of the film in advertising air travel , cooperated in the production and distribution . they provided a dc - 2 aircraft for the exterior shots while a true to scale mock up was provided for the interior scenes . in the famous good ship lollipop scene , members of the university of southern california football team served as extras . in the second flying scene where temple ' s character sneaks aboard the plane and they were forced to bail out of it , both temple and dunn were strapped into a harness hoisted up into the studio rafters . they were supposed to drift down with the aid of a wind machine . in the first take , someone inadvertently opened an airproof door just as they landed , creating a vacuum that sucked out the parachute and dragged them both across the studio floor . marilyn granas served as a stand - in for temple as she had for her previous movies . she would later be replaced by mary lou isleib who would remain as temple ' s stand - in for the rest of her tenure at 20th century fox .\nonce stage door hit the screen , it was obvious to those in the know that the whole seemingly crazy process had worked beautifully . the new york times named , stage door , to its year ' s ten best list , as did many other publications . in his review in the times , frank s . nugent vindicated producer berman ' s intention of boosting the film ' s two stars when he wrote ,\nmiss hepburn and miss rogers , in particular , seem to be acting so far above their usual heads that , frankly , we hardly recognized them .\nthe film went on to be nominated for four 1937 academy awards - and lost them all . best director went to leo mccarey for the awful truth ; best screenplay was given to the life of emile zola ; best supporting actress was presented to alice brady for in old chicago ; and the life of emile zola was named the year ' s best picture .\nafter all of this for the serious side , and before the picture has been running very long , one is inclined to launch at its plain absurdities , its open face scheme of story and the merciless persecution of poor mary . mary is probably the most chased girl of the screen . they chased her everywhere every minute , up alleys , into rooms , over roofs and what not . if mary saw a chance to escape , the open door closed just before she reached it . the only thing muffed was a blackface comedian to get the laughs in this stupendous scene of a ' haunted house ' , a nd eric , the son of his father , who went down into the subterranean town for the first time in his 20 years to see the village and mary . caught by the skirt as he was wranglingwith some vamps in burlesque wheel costumes , eric fell for the dame . this was mary , also about 20 , and [ at ] the first time she ever had seen inside of a two -

the subject of much publicity in germany during the period of filming ( 1925 - 6 ) - was widely reviewed following its berlin premiere at the ufa palast am zoo on the evening of 10 january 1927 . metropolis was a film which naturally drew comment , and further viewing , largely as a result of the many themes it attempted to address , and the ground - breaking nature of the filmmaking . it was an intellectual as well as a visual feast . this process of critical assessment continued with the re - release of edited versions in 1928 and 1936 , and the issuing of modern restorations since 1972 . the georgio moroder coloured and pop - music enhanced edition of 1984 generated much comment in the media , while its straight - to - video release in a number of countries resulted in the film reaching a large international audience for the first time since its period of initial release during 1927 - 8 .\nadventure in manhattan hasn\u2019t worn quite so well . in fact , it feels older than its 1936 release date . that sometimes happens with these heist or crime films in the \u201930s , partly because the detective or police methods seem ridiculously old - fashioned and unscientific to our csi - addled ears . but this movie also has a vaguely illogical , topsy - turvy feeling that i associate with early mysteries .\nbright eyes was the first film to be written and developed specifically for temple , and the first in which her name was raised above the title . in february 1935 , she received a special academy award for her 1934 contributions to film , particularly little miss marker and bright eyes . in 2009 , the film was available on vhs and dvd in both black -

biz argot , and one - upping insults but also an invaluable lesson in sentence rhythm , as when the more seasoned housemates instruct a newbie on where the stress should fall in her sole line in her stage debut : \u201clet\u2019s go up to westchester . \u201d\nrandolph bartlett , ' german film revision upheld as needed here ' , new york times , 13 march 1927 .\ngeorge is so certain of his ( erroneous ) prediction that he alerts the authorities , and they believe him . phil lets him write the story in advance and has it ready to go for the first edition . on saturday night , the area around the bank ( which coincidentally is next door to claire\u2019s theater ! ) is crawling with fbi and police . george and claire wait for news in the park . but the robbers never show .\nbox office : in its opening weekend , the film grossed $ 11 , 148 , 497 in 2 , 247 theaters in the united states and canada , ranking # 2 at the box office , behind saving private ryan , was the best debut for a disney film that week . by the end of its run , the parent trap grossed $ 66 , 308 , 518 domestically and $ 25 , 800 , 000 internationally , totaling $ 92 , 108 , 518 worldwide .\ngarbo ' s portrayal of the beautiful but sickly parisian courtesan , who fatefully falls in love with a young french nobleman ( 25 year - old robert taylor ) , is widely considered the definitive version of the camille story . garbo ' s first talkie film , anna christie , was advertised with the promotional line :\ngarbo talks !\n- so naturally , jokes at the time suggested that this film should be advertised as :\ngarbo coughs !\nat home , she is assigned a nurse . janet begins having more nightmares this time concerning an unknown woman with a scar and a birthday cake . the dreams get worse and worse . finally , her guardian brings home his wife , whom janet has never met . janet is introduced to the woman at her birthday celebration .\naestheticizes violence without fetishizing it . bullet holes and knife wounds help color the film in dark brushstrokes\u2014such is the coens\u2019 wont\u2014and careful attention to shot composition ratchets the film\u2019s morbid elements to almost intoxicating heights . you\u2019ll want to look away , but the coens keep your eyes glued to their somber fatalism . \u2014\nforty years before the blair witch project popularized the idea of a film being told from the camera\u2019s perspective , actor / director robert montgomery gave this radical idea a spin with lady in the lake , his adaptation of one of raymond chandler\u2019s philip marlowe detective stories . ultimately , the case proves to be minor marlowe and the first - person gimmick does eventually wear thin over the course of the film\u2019s runtime . putting aside these reservations , however , the film is most certainly worth a watch if just to witness montgomery\u2019s sheer audacity and inventiveness . it\u2019s the textbook example of a film being ahead of its time . \u2014 m . r .\nadaptation at paramount to convince them the story and its mature themes were a viable gamble . even before that , cain\u2019s book had been unofficially adapted into two foreign productions\u2014\n{ anon . , new york times , 16 january 1927 . brief notice of the film ' s successful premiere in berlin . }\nwe went to this film with greatest expectations -

black trench coats and fedoras . along for the ride is\nputs male toughness on trial and makes it look ridiculous , but the study of manliness might be a smokescreen for kurosawa\u2019s veiled jabs at the board of censors installed by the u . s . government in post - world war ii japan . note the western clothing . observe the recurring image of the bubbling muck that serves as one of the film\u2019s central locations . the american occupation whitewashes and corrupts japanese culture in equal measure , and\nfor the film , what matters primarily is that the actor represents himself to the public before the camera , rather than representing someone else . one of the first to sense the actor\u2019s metamorphosis by this form of testing was pirandello . though his remarks on the subject in his novel si gira were limited to the negative aspects of the question and to the silent film only , this hardly impairs their validity . for in this respect , the sound film did not change anything essential . what matters is that the part is acted not for an audience but for a mechanical contrivance \u2013 in the case of the sound film , for two of them . \u201cthe film actor , \u201d wrote pirandello , \u201cfeels as if in exile \u2013 exiled not only from the stage but also from himself . with a vague sense of discomfort he feels inexplicable emptiness : his body loses its corporeality , it evaporates , it is deprived of reality , life , voice , and the noises caused by his moving about , in order to be changed into a mute image , flickering an instant on the screen , then vanishing into silence . . . . the projector will play with his shadow before the public , and he himself must be content to play before the camera . \u201d this situation might also be characterized as follows : for the first time \u2013 and this is the effect of the film \u2013 man has to operate with his whole living person , yet forgoing its aura . for aura is tied to his presence ; there can be no replica of it . the aura which , on the stage , emanates from macbeth , cannot be separated for the spectators from that of the actor . however , the singularity of the shot in the studio is that the camera is substituted for the public . consequently , the aura that envelops the actor vanishes , and with it the aura of the figure he portrays .\ni have recently seen the silliest film . i do not believe it would be possible to make one sillier . and as this film sets out to display the way the world is going , i think [ my book ] the way the world is going may very well concern itself with this film . it is called metropolis , it comes from the great ufa studios in germany , and the public is given to understand that it has been produced at enormous cost . it gives in one eddying concentration almost every possible foolishness , clich\u00e9 , platitude , and muddlement about mechanical progress and progress in general served up with a sauce of sentimentality that is all its own .\nin the final analysis , it wasn ' t his maverick directing style that undermined him ; it was his unfortunate alcoholism . in the years since , the positive aspects of his directing approach have become more commonplace in making films . embracing many of his techniques , la cava ' s spiritual heirs have included such recent diverse talents as elia kazan , and sidney lumet . gregory la cava ' s stage door is both a testament to his artistic talent then at its peak , and to the golden age of hollywood when such enduring classics were produced with a regularity that seems a marvel today .\ni don\u2019t want to prejudice you against this film because it is definitely worth watching , but don\u2019t expect an especially tight narrative . it\u2019s not that filmmakers couldn\u2019t make neatly plotted films\u2013not at all\u2013rather , a perfect heist or surprising but well - explained mystery seems to have been less prized back then .

' }\nthe distracted person , too , can form habits . more , the ability to master certain tasks in a state of distraction proves that their solution has become a matter of habit . distraction as provided by art presents a covert control of the extent to which new tasks have become soluble by apperception . since , moreover , individuals are tempted to avoid such tasks , art will tackle the most difficult and most important ones where it is able to mobilize the masses . today it does so in the film . reception in a state of distraction , which is increasing noticeably in all fields of art and is symptomatic of profound changes in apperception , finds in the film its true means of exercise . the film with its shock effect meets this mode of reception halfway . the film makes the cult value recede into the background not only by putting the public in the position of the critic , but also by the fact that at the movies this position requires no attention . the public is an examiner , but an absent - minded one .\nexcept it wasn\u2019t that easy . like the ink on those yellow hard - boiled pages , film noir was a smeared affair from the start\u2014hard to define and harder to reconcile . its characters were dirty , displaced , disillusioned , distrustful , just plain dumb . everyone was running some kind of scam , even the cops\u2014especially the cops . everyone was out for themselves , phonies subject to their basest fears and vices . the attraction was as ugly as the repulsion . when he wasn\u2019t a truth - seeker , our protag was often a criminal , at the very least someone of ambivalent moral code or weakness , a fall - guy running out of time , and hope for redemption . the world was a cruel and perilous place , be it the crowded streets or open road , the inner city or a rural outpost . there was no escape , no forgiveness . in fact , perhaps the only clear - cut element of noir was the razor - sharp , imminently quotable dialogue , and its venomous sense of humor .\nin both quality of filmmaking and cynicism of spirit . this film not only announced hanson as a filmmaker well beyond his previous work ("]}

melendez took such umbrage at this and said , \u201cwhat do you mean we can\u2019t ? that\u2019s what i do ! \u201d that became one of the most famous scenes we ever did in the great pumpkin . but basically , melendez said the strip is simple , i\u2019m just going to move the characters from the comic strip to animation . i\u2019m not going to cartoon them up . and that\u2019s why the shows have the same look as the comic strip , whereas race for your life , charlie brown and the other movies broadened the landscape quite a bit ."]}

( his controversial 1995 debut feature , kids , is easily one of the 20 finest pictures i saw from the 1990s . ) bully was written by xachary long and roger pullis , from jim schutze ' s book bully : a true story of high school revenge . it should be noted that bully contains many scenes of extreme emotional and physical violence : since those are clark ' s themes , they never struck me as gratuitous , let alone titillating .\nfrom his early 1960s black - and - white short to feature films such as kids ( 1995 ) , bully ( 2001 ) and ken park ( 2002 ) , larry clark , internationally renowned for his work , translates grant the loss of landmarks and drifts of adolescence . in 2010 the museum of modern art of the city of paris , hosted the first retrospective of his photographs in france .\nbully is by far my favorite of larry clark ' s films , although for some reason i seem to have seen teenage cavemen at least a dozen times .\nbully is a 2001 drama film , directed by larry clark . the film follows youngsters who plot to murder their friend who has been physically , emotionally and sexually abusive to them . brad renfro , bijou phillips , rachel miner , michael pitt and nick stahl star in the film . whoa where do i even begin with this film ? well first off i loved it , and it\u2019s also kind of haunting in nature . it\u2019s the type of film that leaves you with lingering emotions and has you conflicted inside . the tale is based on actual events of a true crime story . the film is rare in the sense that it\u2019s not afraid of itself and its portrayal of american youth , the violence , sex and drugs they consume and these things are handled in a disturbing \u2018in your face\u2019 manner that had me \u201cshooketh\u201d and i say \u201cshooketh\u201d because for 2001 the film was kind of graphic . the raunchy nature of bully is somewhat its downfall as it tries to be unique , we get sometimes sloppy camera work , melodramatic monologues and certain scenes where an actor\u2019s performance makes you cringe . larry clark denied us the resolution that comes with a classic tale of tragedy . however there are shots that makes us appreciate the teenage body and all its growing nature but sometimes the shots do hinge on being inappropriate . working from a somewhat \u2018incomplete\u2019 script we got a very discomforting film that i found loving rather than hating . the late brad renfro made me fall in love with him all over again as he took on the role of the \u201cbullied\u201d . overall i recommend this one if you\u2019re looking for something retro to watch .\n' bully ' demands attention for the way in which it forces us to watch and digest a dark slice of american society . american beauty this ain ' t .\nhow the grinch stole christmas ! ( film ) | dr . seuss wiki | fandom powered by wikia\na powerful true to story drama , bully is a stunning and very dark film . with a great cast of actors , director larry clark crafts a memorable drama that is hard to watch as you see a group of teenagers plot to kill one of their friends who is physically abusive and who has raped one of their friends . as the abuse becomes harder to bear , the teens are more determined to kill bobby kent who is the one who abuses all of them . the film goes deeper into dark territory as you see everyone fed up with the way bobby kent treats everyone . kent is brilliantly played by nick stahl who gives a riveting and brutal performance . brad renfro plays marty puccio , bobby kent ' s best friend and main target of his abuse . i really enjoyed the film , but i felt it was pretty hard to watch at the same time . the performances are top - notch and bully is a dark , gritty in your face type of film . this is not a film for everyone . the strength of the film lies in the powerful acting , directing and story . if you ' re looking for a powerful drama film , then give this one a shot . the film is brutal , and quite depressing , but nevertheless , is a terrific film that has a wonderful cast of actors who light up the screen with their presence . this is not a perfect film , but there ' s enough going on on - screen to make it worth watching . bully is a very good film that explores the darkest corners of revenge and it does very well enough to keep you interested till the very end .\n\u201che can put his film online and everyone will want to see it\u2014whether they like him or not . \u201d\nthis month i recommend one of the most emotionally and visually stunning films of recent years : director larry clark ' s bully ( 2001 ) . like last month ' s picture , strangers on a train , it is all about a murder - with strong homoerotic undercurrents - but bully is based on actual , recent events in florida when a band of rootless , giggling teenagers decide it would be\ncool\nto kill the bully who has been harassing them . clark ' s style - all saturated color , jagged editing , and hyper - real performances - could hardly be more different from that of strangers on a train . and these teens are certainly kinder , gentler sociopaths than stranger ' s over - the - top murderer , bruno . yet bully is a thriller worthy of comparison to the hitchcock classic . and although it tells a strikingly different story , bully ' s themes mesh with the reading group ' s current selection , paul bowles ' 1949 novel the sheltering sky . both works , on a fundamental level , deal with isolation ,\nthe sadness inherent in all deracinated things\n( sheltering sky , chapter 7 ) , and the tangled roots of violence .\ndirector larry clark , meanwhile , is hoping bully will fare better in europe than in his homeland . with its ultra - violent , near - pornographic content , the film failed to receive a rating from the motion picture association of america , which means bully will never be seen by most of the mixed - up teens that renfro and co seem to so thoroughly represent , on screen and in real life . when clark asked the mpaa for guidelines on cutting the film , he received a fax bearing just eight words .\nour advice to america is : hide your children .\net ' s get one thing clear : larry clark ' s new film , bully , will disturb you . stomach - churning , mind - boggling and heart - wrenching , it has already disturbed us critics , parents , prison protest groups , the religious right and the entire state of florida .\na young michael pitt turns out an awesome supporting performance here too as donny , the constantly stoned comedic relief . but even in a film such as this , the comedy eventually turns a little sad . this isn\u2019t dazed & confused \u2013 it\u2019s more along the lines of stoned & sad . the film has sequences of rape , graphic consensual sex , violence and so much cursing that it would give goodfellas a run for it\u2019s money . larry clark made one hell of a movie when he released bully back in 2001 . in honour of pink shirt day \u2013 if you truly want to embrace raising anti - bullying awareness , this is by far the best and most powerful movie experience to ever handle the subject .\nfull of authentic environments and faces , larry clark\u2019s bully is suitably grimy and lived in . clearly made by the same man who directed kids , it retains that film\u2019s edginess and aggressive young cast . clark is obviously obsessed by this younger generation and fetishises the aimlessness , the boredom and the technology they are defined by .\nwow ! what a film . had me hooked from beginning to end . didn ' t know till the end that it was a true story . a bunch of kids who get high all the time have an ingenious idea of killing a bully and trying to cover it up . bit gory at times but brilliant portrayal .\n\u201cmy french film the smell of us that i shot a couple of years ago in paris \u2013 halfway through the film we had all kinds of problems . some of the actors went on strike because they were very young and taking drugs , drinking ; having to get up in the morning , and they just got so tired and i was like 72 years old , and i\u2019m making it ( to set ) everyday . so i just rewrote the last half of the film and finished it . the producers were so nervous , they were shaking in their boots . they thought the film was over . so i told producers , \u2018watch me go , \u2019 and so i just re - wrote as i went through the rest of the film . it\u2019s a very good film ; a much better film than if i had shot the original script as planned . \u201d\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\nbut i remember feeling a much deeper sadness and horror at the end of bully , something i don ' t think he ' s achieved before or since , though i continue to find him a fascinating filmmaker .\narry clark , director of the controversial kids , has delivered another lacerating blow with bully . ased on a true story , to which clark adds his own coldly brilliant sheen of voyeurism , the film has an amoral neon glare in which the only compelling value judgment is the director ' s evident rapture at how beautiful his young stars are .\nin celebration

bullying , though mr . hirsch\u2019s camera does capture a few horrifying episodes ( one of them so alarming that he shared it with parents and school officials ) . in spite of its title , the film is really about the victims , their parents and the powerful grown - ups who let them down .\nit gets worse . in a small town in oklahoma , ty smalley\u2019s suicide left behind loving parents and a devoted best friend , a self - described former bully whose insights are among the most accurate and devastating in the movie .\nall that said , there is something lurid and crude about clark\u2019s eye that makes some scenes feel a bit leering . it all goes tad terry richardson at times but that unease actually enhances a lot of the film\u2019s moments . it\u2019s got a great , big budget soundtrack which offsets the rough aesthetic nicely and some of the most effective scenes are when you\u2019re just watching a bunch of 20 somethings exist in the tableu that is 2001 . i kept thinking about sofia coppola\u2019s the bling ring in a lot of scenes . the later film might be based on a lighter crime but the scrutiny is just as on - point and bracing .\ncheck out the trailer for the new

revolves around the planned assassination of charles de gaulle . zinnemann\u2019s classic film adaptation has a rakish edward fox playing the eponymous hired killer , with the ever - appealing film

great , and in great condition . i consider this cd excellent in the music and sound . i am just happy i had found the bully cd .\nlarry clark ' s\nbully\ncalls the bluff of movies that pretend to be about murder but are really about entertainment . his film has all the sadness and shabbiness , all the mess and cruelty and thoughtless stupidity of the real thing . based on a real story from 1993 , it tells the story of a twisted high school bully and a circle of friends who decide to kill him . but this is not about the evil sadist and the release of revenge ; it ' s about how a group of kids will do something no single member is capable of . and about the moral void these kids inhabit .\ni envy you the first experience of howards end , whether it is forster ' s great novel or merchant /

of all time , with home alone being the first .\nmost critics also use that word to describe the two features that followed , 2001 : a space odyssey ( 1968 ) and a clockwork orange ( 1971 ) . some

, and , in the end , no real point to make .\ntv commercials have figured that out . leave content out of it , and some of the most spectacular examples of film art are in the best tv commercials .\nbut while we are on the subject of adult failures , it should be noted that the motion picture association of america\u2019s ratings board , by insisting on an r rating for \u201cbully , \u201d has made it harder for young audiences to see . the weinstein company , which is distributing the film , has released it without a rating after the association denied its appeal and after a widely publicized petition drive was unable to change the board\u2019s mind .\nyou may remember clark as the director of 1995\u2019s \u2018kids\u2019 \u2013 a similarly themed flick that peels the layers back on how shocking the life of a teenager can really get . drugs , sex , violence , foul language that makes foul language blush \u2013 clark doesn\u2019t hold back and \u2018bully\u2019 is truly a dark and disturbing feature based on a true story . adapted from the novel bully : a true story of high school revenge by jim schutze , clark\u2019s movie details the life and murder of bobby kent \u2013 a merciless and abusive youth played incredibly by nick stahl .\ni just watched bully because it was late at night and nothing else was on and i was extremely impressed , i plan on rewatching

' s monumental the lord of the rings trilogy ( 2001 - 2003 ) ; and cocteau created four of the genre ' s defining masterpieces . they are beauty and the beast ( 1945 ) , and three career - spanning films inspired by the mythic poet and musician , orpheus ( whom some ancient writers believed\ninvented\nsame - sex love ) . cocteau ' s orphic trilogy consists of his avant - garde , and boldly homoerotic , first film , the blood of a poet ( 1930 ) , which he wrote , directed , acted in , edited , and narrated ; orpheus ( 1949 ) , discussed below ( and a striking contrast to another mythic film by a great gay director , pasolini ' s medea ) ; and his final picture , the surreally autobiographical , the testament of orpheus ( 1959 ) .\n\u201cthere was this theatre showing bergman\u2019s

i said , \u2018this guy sees like i see . \u2019 just seeing the film and knowing that there was someone else out there that saw things the way i saw really started me off . from that point on i really trusted my own visions and have always been true to myself . \u201d\nrather a nasty little shocker from larry clark , a more explicit follow - up to his controversial \u201ckids\u201d and this time based on a real - life crime . with \u201cbully\u201d , clark consolidated his approach to film - making , presenting a gritty , realistically filmed storyline with ( then ) largely unknown actors ; the shock factor comes across through the fairly amoral lifestyles of the teenagers portrayed ; middle - class , suburban , drug - taking and engaging in casual sex while their parents appear to be oblivious to what they are up to . when manipulative ali convinces her peers to help murder the sadistic marty the whole lurid tale unfolds before the viewer ' s eyes , graphically and with a chillingly casual attitude on the part of the protagonists . \u201cbully\u201d isn ' t an easy film to watch ; it is intended to make you feel uncomfortable and it certainly does that effectively ; the violence , the sense of wasted lives and the utter banality of it all presents a powerful critique of modern america , one that is still valid today and unfortunately has relevance in societies everywhere . the dvd has interviews and \u201con location\u201d shoots as extras . a bleak , fairly disturbing but powerfully compelling film .\nthis search engine covers the entire website ( glbt

friend bobby . . . maybe bullied isn\u2019t even a strong enough word . abused . bobby is a lose canon , filled with anger and led by sexual abuse . marty and his girlfriend are tired of being abused so they recruit some inadequate friends to help execute a murder . a thought - provoking film that feels like the kind of movie that a24 would\u2019ve picked up if they were around in 2001 . equipped with its fair share of nudity and explicit language . . . it\u2019s still awesome to see a movie like this made in broward county . wish there were more !\nwhile shooting my new film marfa girl in marfa , tx , i only had one day off , which i spent photographing the actors of marfa girl for v magazine\u2019s summer 2012 americana issue .\nmost of the rhymes that were used in the book were also used in the film , though some of the lines were to some degree changed , and several new rhymes were put in .\nclark creates an ensemble film in which every performance seems particularized and real , from the many supporting parts to leads brad renfro ( marty puccio , the high school - dropout surfer ) , rachel miner ( lisa connelly , his pregnant girlfriend ) , and nick stahl ( bobby kent , the\nbully ,\nwho is marty ' s best friend : several characters note that they are\nqueer for each other\n) . whether this is how\nderacinated\nteens acted in 1993 florida , i don ' t know ( although clark did film in hollywood , florida , where the murder took place - sometimes using the actual homes and locations ) . the cast , and filmmaking , convinced me utterly .\n' bully ' gives the viewer an insight into a group of maddeningly awful young people . they ' re much like the characters from a bret easton ellis novel , only these ones are of a slightly later generation , meaning there is a marked ' wannabe black / rapper ' theme amongst the group , which is laughably contrived . their incessant exchange of conversation , which seldom exceeds excessive swearing or needless use of the word ' like ' , often becomes grating . the characters are so devoid of any intelligence and have such warped attitudes towards violence and sex that it makes you question whether people this retarded exist - worryingly , if you go to the right area , they do . the first half of the film is crude trash ; however it is well - acted crude trash . i wanted to hate the film because i hated every character , but the characters were clearly purposefully constructed to be that way . to hate the film for its ugliness could be deemed as missing the point , i suppose the film acts a cautionary tale , showing what some areas of society can devolve into . in this respect , it ' succeeds ' . its chief success is how it portrays the ugly messiness of violence ; it covers a spectrum of emotions from its characters during the visceral , realistically unpleasant climax , a scene that ' s very well constructed by the preceding twenty minutes or so . however , larry clark ' s trademark perversion is all over this film , paying gratuitous attention to the bodies and sex of the teenage cast . it ' s ultimately rather one - dimensional ; its narrative of murder is captivating , but its study of reckless , idiotic culture is unnecessary - viewers are already aware of people like this . its absence of any likeable characters and presence of many detestable ones overshadows the film ' s merits of decent acting and engaging murder plot . there is essentially no incentive to watch this film , ' bully ' is just another instalment in clark ' s portfolio of attention seeking controversy .\nwhat became even more striking about bully , on a second viewing , was the sheer fluency of clark ' s filmmaking . before making features , he was a highly successful still photographer . but bully is by no means a series of\npretty pictures\nstrung together to tell a gruesome tale . clark is in complete control of the rhythms of his film , both within shots and in editing . the use of telephoto lenses ( only the foreground is in sharp focus ) and rapid panning shots are not only visually stunning ( whether its marty surfing or nightmarish distortions of row after row of cloned houses or strip malls or palm trees ) , they also reflect the rootless , superficial lifestyle of these kids , and their empty , materialistic parents . image , sound , and theme are inextricably , and brilliantly , bound together from first shot to last .\na film based on the true - life murder of bobby kent . kent , a hollywood , florida teenager was murdered by his own circle of friends once they tired of being bullied by him .\nyou might remember jonathan as the star of my film wassap rockers ( 2005 ) . he was only 15 years old then . i discovered him in south central los angeles walking down

former child actors , socialite tearaways and homeless dropouts whom clark hand - picked , they represent a new , thoroughly un - hollywood kind of star - a breed of indie players whose lives are as chaotic as those of the characters they portray . youngsters who are just as likely to be caught dealing drugs as appearing in dawson ' s creek and who , in the hardcore sex and violence of clark ' s film , have found the perfect vehicle for their collective talents . the anti - breakfast club , if you will .\nthe film i bring up most in meetings is ocean\u2019s eleven . i really think it\u2019s the quintessential bank heist film ; there are others like the italian job or inside man which are also great , but ocean\u2019s eleven has the right tone . we want players to walk out of small time criminals feeling like george clooney\u2019s crew . i also keep bringing up the videogame fallout 4 ( bethesda ) . i want players to be able to hack into computers , open boxes , to explore a fully realised world . there\u2019s also the tabletop roleplaying game fiasco ( jason morningstar , bully pulpit games ) which is so much fun ; in a game like that you talk through what we want to have players actually do in small time criminals !\nhe had agreed to meet and talk about his latest movie , full metal jacket , a film about the vietnam war that he produced and directed . he also co - wrote the screenplay with michael herr , the author of dispatches , and gustav hasford , who wrote the short - timers , the novel on which the film is based . full metal jacket is kubrick\u2019s first feature in seven years .\nyou\u2019ve quoted pudovkin to the effect that editing is the only original and unique art form in film . i think so . everything else comes from something else . writing , of course , is writing , acting comes from the theater , and cinematography comes from photography . editing is unique to film . you can see something from different points of view almost simultaneously , and it creates a new experience .\nbully co - star bijou phillips , however , has a rather different take on him :\nhe ' s just a big kid ,\nbijou says , explaining why she demanded a separate hotel from renfro and the rest of the bully cast .\nwhen we made tart [ a little - seen scream - like horror affair ] together , he ' d come over to my room and want me to put him in the bath and get him sober . or he ' d cut himself and we ' d be in the hospital at four in the morning and we would have to shoot at six . it was just too much . i needed my space .\neach month i highlight one exceptional glbt film from a wide range of genres ( comedy to drama , musicals to suspense ) and periods ( from early cinema , by such masters as eisenstein , murnau , and cocteau , to contemporary works ) . when possible , i select a film which in some way \u0096 such as theme , historical period , or style \u0096 connects with the g & l reading group ' s book of the month . i hope you enjoy these reviews ! here is the full index to all recommended glbt films of the month ; for more on cinema , see the film resources page .\nabout photographs of tomasso\u2026 you don\u2019t understand because i am an artist and not a fashion cunt photographer\u2026 it is just a portrait of a boy but a beautiful italian boy that i will go back to rome and build a film around\u2026 he is my new star and inspiration to make a film next year in roma\u2026 i am writing the screenplay now\u2026 the photographs of him are like a section of images from a film\u2026 if you don\u2019t publish them somebody else will right away\u2026 you asked for 8 pages and i made this for you\u2026 if you don\u2019t get it it\u2019s not my fault\u2026 don\u2019t underestimate your audience\u2026 they will come around and if a few years the issue will be worth a lot a money and a collectors item because of the suite of photographs i took of my new film star the first minutes i met him\u2026 tomasso\u2026 .\nthat\u2019s just another notch on his belt of having to deal with the unintelligentsia who didn\u2019t see things his way . the photographer poked the eyes of the art community in 1971 with his book tulsa , exploring the intensely personal lives of wayward youth . he followed that streak with kids ( 1995 ) , one of the most controversial and powerful films ever made about the \u201csecret life of kids that adults are not allowed into . \u201d its subject made national news and was denounced by a britsh mp as a \u201ctrend almost verging on the paedophilic\u201d . again and again \u2013 with his photography and films like bully ( 2001 ) , ken park ( 2002 ) , and marfa girl ( 2012 ) \u2013 clark has shit all over stereotypes and inhabited a world he\u2019s created all his own , one he now shares with all the outliers who identify with his take no prisoners approach to creating .\nhe spends so much of this film shoving the camera into ( ostensibly teenaged ) genitalia that you begin to worry for the actors . it ' s not even attached to anyone ' s gaze when he does it . the camera just lingers on crotch shot , ass shots , chest shots , and little else for most of the first half of the film . it ' s a vastly more gross film in that regard than half the most blatant porns i ' ve seen . clark just seems to be getting his own jollies off , which is a presumption i hate making . it just feels that way , though .\ninitial reviews of most of your films are sometimes inexplicably hostile . then there\u2019s a reevaluation . critics seem to like you better in retrospect . that\u2019s true . the first reviews of 2001 were insulting , let alone bad . an important los angeles critic faulted paths of glory because the actors didn\u2019t speak with french accents . when dr . strangelove came out , a new york paper ran a review under the head moscow could not buy more harm to america . something like that . but critical opinion on my films has always been salvaged by what i would call subsequent critical opinion . which is why i think audiences are more reliable than critics , at least initially . audiences tend not to bring all that critical baggage with them to each film .\ni will put the film on my first and only website , larryclark . com , which is the only place one will ever be able to see the film\u2026 . it will stream for $ 5 . 99 for access to the film for 24 hours\u2026 . this is the future and the future is now\u2026 . most and very soon almost all the small theaters that show indie and art films will be gone\u2026 . everyday another goes out of business because everything is digital now and it is quite expensive for the wonderful old smaller theaters to bear the cost of switching to digital\u2026 . anyway i think i am one of the very first directors to release a new film this way , on a website who\u2019s only purpose is to show his new films\u2026 . i think this could be very successful and it also cuts out the crooked hollywood distributors .\nbased on a true story , this is a teen story with a difference . sexually charged and drug fueled teens seek revenge on the bully who controls them and don ' t quite think their plan through . watching the uncut version of this , certainly highlights the extreme levels of bullying and control , which you may otherwise not experience with the uncut version .\non september 26 , 1999 , it was announced that ron howard would direct and produce a 2000 american fantasy comedy christmas film titled how the grinch stole christmas or dr . seuss ' how the grinch stole christmas ( promoted theatrically as the grinch ) with brian grazer and also with the budget of $ 123 million based on the 1957 story of the same name by dr . seuss which would be released in cinemas on november 17 , 2000 . jeffrey price and peter s . seaman would write the film . it was also announced that the film would star jim carrey ( who plays the title character ) , josh ryan evans

howard , jim meskimen , jeremy howard , kelley and t . j . thyne with narration by anthony hopkins . universal pictures acquired distribution rights to the film . james horner would compose the music for the movie . imagine entertainment co - produced the film .\ni\u2019m very pleased to announce that marfa girl has been selected to premiere in competition at the international rome film festival which runs from nov . 9 to nov . 17 . the announcement made headlines in indiewire and variety .\nit may be that\nbully\nhelps to explain the high school shootings . we sense the chilling disconnect between an action and its consequences , the availability of firearms , the buildup of teenage resentments and hatreds , the moral vacuum , the way they can talk themselves into doing unthinkable things , and above all the need to talk about it . ( so many high school shooters leave diaries and web pages , and tell their friends what they plan to do . ) yes , bobby kent is a bully ( and one of the most loathsome characters i ' ve seen in a movie ) . but he dies not for his sins , but because his killers are so bored and adrift , and have such uncertain ideas of themselves .\ni think bully succeeds where his other films struggle is both in the quality of the actors he got got ( a then relatively unknown michael pitt , and nick stahl before he furlong ' d ) and the story itself , which manages to avoid a lot of the proselytizing that kids and ken park get into , while being just a heartbreaking look at destroyed youth .\ndr . seuss ' how the grinch stole christmas opened at number - one with a weekend gross of $ 55 , 082 , 230 , for an average of $ 17 , 615 from 3 , 127 theaters and staying at # 1 for a total of 4 weeks . it closed on april 30 , 2001 , after five months , with a final gross of $ 260 , 044 , 825 in the united states and canada and an additional gross of $ 85 , 096 , 578 in other territories , for a total worldwide gross of $ 345 , 141 , 403 ."]}

there are a few possible explanations . first , mario ' s repeated trips to the mushroom kingdom , a different dimension than the one he is from , are somehow taking a toll on his brain , metabolism , and physical appearance . another is that mario ' s rampant drug use ( as we learned from the previous item on this list ) is catching up to him . he ' s like a video game keith richards , or something . just another reason crack is whack , kids . and if you ' re a kid reading this , stop ! i thought i made it clear this was not for you .\nyou know your hero , super mario ? the coolest of the cool ? the fireball - throwing , koopa stomping , shell hurling superhero who can ' t be stopped , even by death ? well , guess what . turns out , all that ' s just a facade . at the end of the day , mario just another wimp who ' s most at home with a needle and thread . don ' t believe me ? well , look no further than 1986 family computer disk system title i am a teacher : super mario sweater . it ' s rumored that every time the title of this game is spoken out loud , a little kid somewhere throws away his super mario happy meal toy . gameplay consisted of . . . well , designing sweaters . you could make a mario sweater or even a peach sweater . fun . you can tell the kids about this one , just be prepared for them to never look at their red suspender - clad hero the same way again .\na curious sort of boom market has developed in recent years for high end porn parodies of popular films and tv series , especially superhero films and shows , like batman xxx : a porn parody ( cbr spoke to the director of the film at the time and it is fascinating how much care is put into the production of these films . as csbg\u2019s sonia harris noted a while back , the costume for the porn parody of wonder woman looks better and more like the actual comic book character than the costume for the david e . kelley wonder woman tv pilot ! ) . while these porn parodies have become big business these days ( you almost see as many mentions of porn parodies as you see car insurance ads these days ) , the idea of doing a porn parody of popular culture has been around for decades . you would be hard pressed to pick a notable television series or film that has not had a porn parody at one point or another over the years ( i did a comic book legends revealed on a superman porn parody that dc sued over thirty years ago ) . however , very rarely do you ever see the inspiration for the porn parody ever get involved in the parody and yet that is exactly what happened with nintendo and the 1993 film super hornio brothers ."]}

( as forbes contributor paul tassi points out , for most gamers , that score translates to\na generally bad game that only a few will enjoy .\n) and the average user score is worse than the critical score .\nmgm has been working with the film ' red dawn ' s ' director and producers to make the most commercially viable version of the film for audiences worldwide ,\nsaid mike vollman , executive vice president of worldwide marketing to the la times .\nwe want to ensure the most people possible are able to experience it .\nthe success of frozen contrasts with rival animation free birds , which fell by 70 % from the previous weekend , the biggest drop of any film in the top 10 .\nthe script was written by stallone in an intentional throwbacky action film . james franco plays a total weenie small time meth dealer . he doesn ' t actually do a single thing successfully in the whole film except intimidate some high school kids . he just stays fucking up . and then statham beats the shit out of him . it ' s great .\nthe film ' s producers are in the process of digitally altering the new red dawn , swapping out chinese imagery and changing dialogue to make the film ' s aggressors north korean , reports the la times . studio execs were concerned about chinese leadership being offended by the war flick and losing ( potentially ) a billion viewers over red dawn ' s choice of villain .\nextrapolating the parallels from homefront to red dawn , my guess is that the new film will do decently - probably enough to take back its estimated $ 75 million production budget , but not too much more . i ' d be surprised to see it crack $ 100 million , and i ' d also guess that the box office take is going to be pretty frontloaded with large drop - offs in the coming weeks .\npublisher thq shared similar concerns when it chose a unified korean invasion over a chinese attack on us soil . execs said china was just\nnot that scary\n. but it too was worried about china ' s reception to homefront .\nhomefront is an action movie about a widowed ex - dea agent who retires to a small town for the sake of his 10 - year - old daughter . the only problem is he picked the wrong town .

( i mean , come on : statham vs . franco would have been a six - second vine . ) to avoid spoilers , let\u2019s just say that\nhomefront\nis more interested in how cowards and bullies thrive on manipulating each other , and how a strong , decent man like broker can find himself a victim of their parasitic politics .\nhomefront\nis an action movie about a widowed ex - dea agent who retires to a small town for the sake of his 10 - year - old daughter . the only problem is he picked the wrong town , because it ' s full of meth - selling rednecks who want their revenge .\nno , i ' m not talking about the re - make of red dawn , which opens over this holiday . i ' m talking about homefront , a video game released by thq interactive , which shares more than a few similarities to the new movie . homefront ' s story is credited to john milius , who wrote the script for the 1984 red dawn . and like the red dawn remake , the initial villains were chinese before being changed to north korea . the parallels are interesting enough to make me wonder if the game will also offer a preview of how red dawn will perform at the box office .\nthe film , which sylvester stallone has adapted from a book by chuck logan , follows a former drug enforcement agent , played by jason , who wants to retire to a small town and live the quiet life . but his plans are scuppered by a villainous drug dealer played by james .\n. this film made just over $ 20 million at the box office , which is amazing for a limited release . however , it is still a limited release on top of the new releases . that tells you how slow this week is on the home market . fortunately , last friday\naside from the messy action scenes , the film has a professional look and the actors generally supply ample juice playing over - excitable characters . only statham isn ' t allowed to join in the fun , obliged as he is to remain in stolid , stalwart mode while everyone goes ballistic around him .\n\u201cit\u2019s a bit like appalachia : you can go from two kids in a fistfight to the emergency room real fast , \u201d advises one concerned citizen in \u201chomefront , \u201d a tale of backwoods retribution that resembles roman polanski\u2019s \u201ccarnage\u201d transplanted to \u201cdeliverance\u201d country , where feuding parents prefer outright war to wars of words . but what sounds like a [ \u2026 ]\nhomefront is mostly just your typical jason statham action film , but it is livened up a bit by a scenery chewing performance from james franco a story with enough intrigue to keep you invested until the end . the action is fairly standard for the genre at this point , but still well done . sylvester stallone did the screenplay , which is contrived and ridiculous in spots and could have been improved . he wrote it specifically with statham in mind though , and it shows . it caters to his good qualities enough to make this an enjoyable b movie experience , even if it isn ' t exactly high quality cinema . definitely worthwhile for action buffs or statham fans , but little appeal beyond that really .\nmechanic : resurrection may have seemed liked an unasked - for sequel , but clearly someone out there wanted to see it . now if those people could just catch up on safe , the bank job , and homefront , all will be right with the world . statham will be seen next in universal / comcast corp . ' s fast 8 in april of next year .\nopened in one theater on friday the 22nd before expanding wide on wednesday the 27th . normally we don ' t like to use films that have already opened , but it is still the best choice for the target film for this week ' s box office prediction contest . in order to win , one must simply predict the opening weekend box office number for\nthe baton has instead been passed to sly\u2019s expendables cohort jason statham , an actor now so reliable at guttural machismo you could never accuse his films of false advertising . homefront does nothing to stretch its leading man , but there ' s something to be said for statham\u2019s stardom and the films being slotted around it \u2013 like a stubborn bollard , you always know exactly where to find him .\na marine must do whatever it takes to save his kidnapped sister and stop a terrorist attack masterminded by a radical militia group . the marine 3 : homefront is the 3rd installment in the marine series and the 2nd sequel out of the 4 that have been released so far and to be honest it was a pretty damn good and decent wwe studios film plus the miz is way better than john cena at least so that ' s something and neal mcdonough made a really cool villain but then again mcdonough is great in pretty much anything that he ever does . if you enjoyed the first 2 films for what they were you ' re going to enjoy this one as well but don ' t expect anything more than just a fun ride . ( 7 / 10 )\nthe rest of the pack , namely statham\u2019s many solo action vehicles , guy ritchie capers and related genre fare , all sit below the seemingly unasked - for sequel . while the film co - starred jessica alba , tommy lee jones and michelle yeoh , it was a statham action - er all the way and was sold mostly on his cred . the film earned $ 88 million in overseas grosses . so , it not only out - grossed the mechanic ( $ 76m ) just in overseas grosses , it would sit just between transporter 3 ( $ 109m ) and transporter 2 ( $ 85m worldwide , but his biggest domestic solo vehicle with $ 43m back in 2005 ) among the top statham vehicles even if it had gone direct - to - dvd in north america .\nhomefront sounds faintly like a diy programme on 1990s daytime television , but turns out to be a bust - up in the bayous between a single dad and some louisiana meth runners . whatever works . faces are broken , crayfish gobbled , white - trash accents dusted off . if it\u2019s easily imaginable as a sylvester stallone vehicle , that\u2019s because he wrote the script , which was originally intended as the final instalment of rambo .\nthis is a terrific and powerful movie . a hard - edged and explosive action - packed thriller . a total knockout of an action film . one of the years best action movies hands down . a strong and tough film that when is not shooting or blowing things up it packs a hard - hitting amount of riveting drama that feels very real and effective . director , gary fleder gives a great energy to the material , crafting a fine heart - pounding film . writer / producer , sylvester stallone writes a deep , down and thrilling story that balances drama and action well . stallone wrote the role specifically for statham , giving him new reach and depth that he knew the action star could accomplish . jason statham is at his absolute best , he gives a powerful and surprisingly compassionate performance . statham proves to be getting better as an actor , just improving with every performance . james franco is excellent , finally dropping from his recent line of comedies and back to more serious territory and proving to be more than an exceptional match for statham . i loved this movie , it is truly awesome and delivers big time . it ' s utterly thrilling , heart - pounding and sometimes deeply moving .\nthe general public , that strange amalgam of tribes and cliques ( ooka chaka , ooka chaka ! ) , will\nget\nthis more so than those of the film intelligentsia among us . bread and circuses prepared for and designed by sly stallone , no less ( who might have an idea what the film going public wants after all this time ) , and gives it to them . and there are some surprises : franco and ryder are great as the bad guys ( uhh , spoiler alert ! sorry ) , squeaky clean bosworth does better street ho than you could ' ve imagined , and finally statham , who ' s always a lone cowboy , pulls off caring dad with better chops than you would ' ve thought possible . all in all a pretty decent entertainment offering once one accepts that one is here to see some bad guys get seriously pounded into the ground .\ngiven that over the past twelve months he ' s played everything from the wizard of oz and hugh hefner to spring breakers '\nalien\nand himself in this is the end , it ' s tough to speculate about how james franco chooses his film roles . but it would be easy to believe that he agreed to play the swamp rat drug dealer in homefront just for the opportunity it provides for him to bellow out his character ' s memorable name , as in\nmy name is gator bodine ! ! !\nfranco clearly relishes the handle , which is more than most people will feel about this trashy , manipulative , by - the - numbers crime drama in which jason statham wrestles with both gator and an american accent . the open road entry will have to make its score very quickly upon nov . 27 release before being crowded out of the marketplace by more high - profile year - end titles .\nwhile oldboy was met with little enthusiasm from critics and audiences ( a perfectly aligned 49 / 100 on metacritic and 4 . 9 / 10 rating at imdb ) , the same cannot be said of nebraska , which is enjoying a major awards push for lead actor bruce dern . a metacritic score of 85 / 100 and an imdb user rating of 8 . 0 suggest that the film is a winner , making the weak box - office result all the more disappointing . a debut of \u00a3151 , 000 from 122 cinemas is enough to push the site average into four figures ( \u00a31 , 240 ) , but you ' d expect far better . alexander payne ' s last film the descendants ( which had the advantage of a bona fide movie star in george clooney ) debuted with \u00a31 . 80m from 403 cinemas . before that , sideways kicked off with \u00a3350 , 000 from 72 venues .\nthe boiler - plate opening action scene isn ' t bad , as undercover dea agent phil broker ( statham in a wig ) spearheads a bust of a big city drug lab . the whole joint blows up and when the big boss is led away by the cops , he gets off a promise to broker that sets the tone for most of the film ' s dialogue :\nyour kids are f - - - - - - dead .\nnow the film cost around $ 40 million to produce , so it ' s not necessarily a mega blockbuster even as it may triple its budget . but this bodes well for warner bros . / time warner inc . \u2019s upcoming \u201cjason statham and fan bingbing versus a giant shark\u201d adventure meg which opens on north american shores in march of 2018 . said chinese co - production will be distributed in china by gravity pictures with wb handling the rest of the world .\nfleder , who is a pretty standard button - masher as an action director , actually shows infectious relish and nuance in depicting statham\u2019s slow return to his violent ways . it\u2019s the psychology that counts : we\u2019ve all been there , tested and prodded constantly by some unreasonable , relentless fool who won\u2019t recognize sincere attempts at peacemaking . statham\u2019s discomfort at having to extend the olive branch when he\u2019d rather jam it in the other guy\u2019s windpipe is the film ' s most suspenseful stunt .\nhomefront is sufficiently silly and low - down to be entertaining on a certain marginal level , but it wouldn ' t appear that those involved , with the possible exception of franco , approached this with the idea that they might be making good trash ; it looks too elaborate and costly for that and the script exhibits no self - aware humor . so when real peril arrives for broker and maddy , it just feels as though the computer has rotely delivered the pre - programmed climactic scenes that have been indicated from close to the beginning .\nonce the slow fuse of jason statham\u2019s fury reaches the dynamite , fleder unleashes a series of old school set pieces that cry out for the economy of a walter hill or the operatic style of a john woo . or , even better , the slow - roast verisimilitude of a jeff nichols , whose\nshotgun stories\nis arguably the greatest backwoods feud movie ever made . as vengeance was meted out mechanically in the final showdown of\nhomefront ,\nmy thoughts drifted to franco and his small - town loser friends , with sympathy . sure , they\u2019re violent assholes , but their biggest crime in this film is being graceless rednecks with colossal class envy . they want somethin ' like what statham got , a big country home and enough downtime to go horseback riding with his daughter instead of busting hump at the quarry or slinging dope . somewhere in the chaos of flames and clashing vehicles , franco mutters a lament along those lines . in the end , as in most films of this type , the dea triumphs in its land war against the peasants , and statham can get back to his life .\nbut the good news is that the millennium - produced release , which was distributed by summit / lionsgate in the states , earned a whopping $ 88 . 2 million - and - counting overseas . that includes a $ 44m running cume in china , giving the 2016 sequel to the 2011 remake a $ 109 . 4m worldwide total . that means that the film surpassed the $ 109m worldwide cume of the transporter 3 back in 2008 . that means that , so sayeth box office mojo , mechanic : resurrection is statham\u2019s biggest solo action hit ever .\nhere ' s a film that was exactly what i thought it was going to be . . . a straightforward action thriller with some testosterone - fueled punch - outs , big explosions , solid acting and not a whole lot to think about . jason statham plays former dea agent phil broker , who moves with his 10 - year - old daughter to rural louisiana after the death of his wife . before he can really settle in , local meth maker gator bodine ( james franco ) discovers his identity and decides to use the information to his own advantage .\npushing the hunger games : catching fire aside after its two weeks at the top spot , disney ' s frozen opened with \u00a34 . 70m . that ' s by no means the top number for an animation this year \u2013 despicable me 2 debut gathered \u00a314 . 82m , including \u00a34 . 87m in previews in june \u2013 but it ' s a solid start for a film presumed to play to the christmas audience . family films targeting the christmas market have a knack of playing strongly right through until christmas eve , and if the festive association is not too strong can , continue to play beyond that date .\nif bosworth proves to be \u201chomefront\u2019s\u201d greatest surprise , sporting a meth addict\u2019s wasted physique and a white - trash stridency that belies an inner canniness , franco qualifies as its biggest disappointment . though he brings a certain snarling menace to gator , he never really sinks his teeth into the role ( the way he did with his latter - day big bad wolf character in harmony korine\u2019s \u201cspring breakers\u201d ) , and whatever private amusement slumming it as a one - dimensional ( and not very bright ) baddie may have held for the actor , it\u2019s lost on the audience . mostly , franco just seems to be biding his time here , bored with the part and the movie that contains it .\ni can ' t think of a better actor to deliver a line in a menacing , yet calm way , than jason statham does here . he is one of the contemporary action stars that audiences will go see without hesitation or worrying about the screenplay . the reason is because there are very few actors that can deliver their fight scenes as well as he does . audiences can feel every punch or kick from statham without the need of quick edits or shaky camera movements . unfortunately , the main problem with homefront is that director gary fleder ( kiss the girls , runaway jury ) didn ' t use his action skills as a means to improve the movie , but rather sticked to the usual\u2026\nreleased on a more modest 50 screens , the tighter rollout for kill your darlings doesn ' t appear to have done it many favours , with a weak opening just below \u00a339 , 000 . daniel radcliffe fans who flocked to see him in the woman in black evidently were less enticed by the prospect of him as a young allen ginsberg , with dane dehaan , ben foster and jack huston playing other writers from the beat poet era . independent cinemas playing this film and nebraska were in for a double disappointment . saving mr banks ( the gentlest faller in the chart , down 31 % ) , the butler and philomena continue to offer crossover alternatives .\nso how did homefront fare on the business side ? well , like red dawn , there was a lot of pre - release buzz and excitement . that was enough to give the game 375 , 000 in first - day sales in north america . overall , according to vgchartz , the game has sold about 2 . 36 million copies nationwide . that ' s not a bad take for a new franchise , but falls well short of sales in other military shooters such as the call of duty or battlefield series , and its pace to that number is a lot slower than other franchise starters such as 2009 ' s borderlands or 2007 ' s assassin ' s creed . still , that was enough to encourage a sequel , which is currently in development .\nfor the third weekend in a row , uk box - office is up on the equivalent frame from 2012 , on this occasion by an impressive 40 per cent . exactly a year ago , the market was becalmed as it waited for the arrival of the hobbit : an unexpected journey , and top title rise of the guardians was a relative underperformer . history looks likely to repeat itself with the arrival on friday of the hobbit : the desolation of smaug . the film has a sensational 9 . 2 / 10 approval rating from the early adopters who have registered their enthusiasm at imdb , and warners must be confident of a strong box - office performance . alternatives include a re - release of cinema paradiso and a festive offering called the christmas candle .\n\u201cit\u2019s a bit like appalachia : you can go from two kids in a fistfight to the emergency room real fast , \u201d advises one concerned citizen in \u201c homefront , \u201d a tale of backwoods retribution that resembles roman polanski\u2019s \u201ccarnage\u201d transplanted to \u201cdeliverance\u201d country , where feuding parents prefer outright war to wars of words . but what sounds like a veritable b - movie wet dream \u2014 with that master of the subzero scowl , jason statham , starring in a screenplay written by sylvester stallone \u2014 turns out to be considerably less than the sum of its parts : a listless programmer in the \u201cwalking tall\u201d mode , minus the ebullient spark of statham\u2019s \u201ccrank\u201d and \u201ctransporter\u201d franchises and stallone\u2019s own \u201cexpendables\u201d pics . offered as thanksgiving counter - programming by distrib open road , the pic may carve up modest biz with the shoot - your - own - turkey crowd , but should be available as a stocking stuffer by christmas .\nthe ever - prolific stallone ( who has \u201cescape plan\u201d still in theaters and \u201cgrudge match\u201d due at year\u2019s end ) adapted \u201c homefront \u201d from a novel by crime writer chuck logan \u2014 one in a series featuring the character of ex - minnesota cop phil broker \u2014 originally envisioning the project as a starring vehicle for himself before passing the torch to statham , who ably fills the character\u2019s ass - kicking shoes . when we first meet him , broker is an undercover dea agent ( by way of interpol , so as to allow for the actor\u2019s brit accent ) about to snag a gang of meth - running louisiana bikers , an op that ends with broker\u2019s cover ( and several square blocks of shreveport ) blown sky - high , and the son of the gang honcho riddled with bullets . ( in a wry play on statham\u2019s trademark shaven - headed appearance , the undercover broker sports a long , straggly mane of \u201980s - style rocker hair . )\noctober ended on a winning note , but it was the only time the entire month that 2013 topped 2012 in the year - over - year comparison . this is quite shocking , as gravity crushed expectations with more than $ 200 million and counting . even with that surprise monster hit , the month still couldn ' t keep pace with last year . compared to october , november looks a lot better with three films that could be monster hits : frozen , thor : the dark world , and the hunger games : catching fire . on the other hand , those are the only three movies with a 50 / 50 chance or better to top $ 100 million compared , while there were seven films that reached that milestone last november . the hunger games : catching fire should make more than last year ' s number one film , skyfall , but the depth last year could prove too much to deal with . 2013 might dip below last year ' s pace sometime during the month , but hopefully it won ' t stay there too long . more . . .\nst . louis has a little - known nuclear past as a uranium - processing center for the atomic bomb . government and corporate negligence led to the dumping of manhattan project uranium , thorium , and radium , thus contaminating north st . louis suburbs , specifically in two communities : those along coldwater creek , where residents have high rates of very rare cancers , birth defects , and various autoimmune disorders that are potentially linked to ionizing radiation poisoning ; and in bridgeton , adjacent to the west lake - bridgeton landfill , where an uncontrolled subsurface fire has been moving toward an area where the radioactive waste was buried . just moms stl , a group of mothers - turned - advocates , believes their communities are being poisoned and demands that the government either fully remove the waste or permanently relocate residents living nearest the landfill . at the same time , the grassroots organization coldwater creek \u2014 just the facts please is working to educate the community and healthcare professionals and to promote community inclusion in the radiation exposure compensation act . \u201catomic homefront\u201d \u2014 from hbo documentary films \u2014 spotlights these citizen advocates , mostly women , who have mobilized to get answers , creating a powerful coalition that continues to fight for environmental justice .\nmovies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide - release movies , 40 for limited - release movies , 20 for tv shows ) , including 5 reviews from top critics .\nthe screenplay for this violent retro schlock was written by sylvester stallone , and the movie feels like something out of the early eighties .\nthe deeper we go into this story , the more ridiculous the coincidences and plot twists .\neveryone cast against type . everyone breathtakingly bad , reciting dialogue by sylvester stallone that begs for a\nmute\nbutton .\nby making statham a regretful lawman , it neutralizes his main talent , effectively neutering him . it also telegraphs the kind of mostly watered - down movie we ' re about to see .\n. . . a summation of action scenes , almost without rhyme or reason .

park . this park is built on fill , some of which is confined mercury - contaminated sludge removed from minamata bay . participants laid a floral tribute at the cenotaph for minamata disease victims and the ministerial delegates took part in a tree planting ceremony .\nminamata revolt\u0097a people\u0092s quest for life ( \u0093minamata ikki\u0097isho o tou hitobito , \u0094 dir . tsuchimoto noriaki )\nin the small town of minamata in kyushu , far from the metropolitan center , the fertilizer company chisso built a factory to take advantage of cheap labor and commenced dumping mercury -

kirschnereit , 7 ] .\nthis is a list of ideological utopias , against conservatism , that victory of the current regressive world . especially those that failed because the world is below possibilities and beyond the material . material world and of film too , ie , movies that combines the political matter with the matter that films are built of .\nminamata\u2019s people continue in the midst of this waiting . in contrast to minamata : the victim and their world \u2019s steady accumulation of revelations building towards catharsis , the shiranui sea works structurally through restoration , with the sense that humanity itself is self - healing . a visit to an institution organized for rehabilitating minamata disease youth shows teenagers practicing basic arithmetic and learning to walk with crutches , while images from minamata : the victims and their world appear of the same young people as near - catatonic just a few years prior . a nurse laughs while recalling being surprised at a young male patient pinching her bottom and discovering his show of desire to be a sign of progress .\nthe body of work tsuchimoto devoted to the victims , their families and their surroundings encompassed 17 films , of which minamata : the victims and their world is the most widely known . tsuchimoto isn\u2019t afraid to let his camera roll for extended shots of afflicted patients , with results that are alternately harrowing , tender and deeply sad . he also commits himself to the texture and details of the everyday lives of the people of minamata : a striking sequence shows an octopus fisherman trudging through shallow water , the many - tentacled bundle of his catch dangling behind him on a rope . in such scenes , the film suggests life continuing and the possibility of renewal .\nas potential victims become victims in reality , the situation gives rise to an ever - widening circle where people are given neither relief from the problem nor monetary compensation for their suffering . these people simply give up .\nin the small town of minamata in kyushu , far from the metropolitan center , the fertilizer company chisso built a factory to take advantage of cheap labor and commenced dumping mercury - filled wastewater into the nearby sea . soon residents began exhibiting symptoms of a mysterious illness , a happening that would eventually develop into the worst case of environmental pollution in postwar japan . noriaki tsuchimoto visits the patients and their families who sued chisso and listens to their voices . his camera gently lifts the veil and reveals their reality . minamata : the victims and their world is impressive in how it stands on the side of the patients , not only providing a collage of individual portraits , but also an understanding of their everyday lives .\nthese changes were also caused by the manner in which victims were treated by the offending industry , by governmental organs , by medical doctors , and by the mass media , and they became more obvious as the negotiating process between the company and the victims progressed . the offending companies would usually use negotiations methods that aggravated the patients and increased their nervous tension . the government and the medical profession were only interested in maintaining corporate profitability and in protecting their professional status . the mass media treated the victims as objects of curiosity , showing an absolute minimum of sensitivity for their plight .\ntheir imperial highnesses the crown prince and princess , prince and princess akishino , mr . and mrs . kuroda\nminamata : the victims and their world opens with title cards contextualizing the situation . minamata disease\u2014whose symptoms include restricted vision , damaged motor skills , and frequently death\u2014was first diagnosed in 1953 , and then declared a fifty - three - victim epidemic in 1956 . medical research soon showed that minamata residents were growing sick ( sometimes even in the womb ) from wastewater and poisoned seafood . the chemical plant of the prosperous chisso corporation , minamata\u2019s economic lifeblood , had been responsible for dumping untreated mercury into the water , and in 1959 the victims and their families reached a reparations agreement with the corporation , part of which stipulated that no further legal or fiscal damages could be sought . meanwhile , human damage continued : by 1970 , 121 victims ( 46 of them dead ) had been officially diagnosed , with many more sick unofficially .\nwith the compounding of all these environmental problems , local communities become the victims . in the ashio copper - mine incident , after a long history of protest . the results were the destruction of vast areas of farmland , the debilitation of countless victims and their families , and finally the creation of villages without inhabitants . in the areas around minamata city where some of the victims have been restructuring their lives with the help of support groups , human relationships have been so badly ruptured that there is no hope of repair .\n\u201cyears since its first appearance , noriaki tsuchimoto\u2019s seminal minamata : the victims and their world has lost no measure of its power to shock , enrage , and inspire . a landmark of socially - engaged documentary , minamata continues to sound a global alarm about the human and environmental consequences of industrial pollution , searingly evoked through tsuchimoto\u2019s patient , compassionate lenz . \u201d \u2014\u2014john gianvito , filmmaker , associate professor / emerson college\non friday morning , the conference of plenipotentiaries continued to hear country statements about the adoption and signing of the minamata convention on mercury . many countries paid tribute to the victims of minamata disease , underscoring the significance of the minamata convention for contributing to the sound management of mercury . countries also conveyed their gratitude to the government of japan for hosting the conference , and to inc chair fernando lugris for steering the negotiations to a successful completion .\n\u201cwith the minamata name comes a special responsibility \u2013 and an opportunity to take actions so that the name minamata is not only associated with a tragedy , but becomes a positive model in the resolution of the world\u2019s worst case of mass mercury poisoning , \u201d digangi continued .\nkatsuaki miyamoto , mayor of minamata , said that because economics took precedence over life and the environment , humans and many other creatures lost their lives . he declared the minamata convention a major step for humankind and urged its swift entry into force .\ndisclaimer : as i wrote few days back on twitter , i\u2019ll kick off 2015 with a little experiment . i\u2019ve translated ( and partly rewritten ) in english my post on minamata : the victims and their world . as english is my second language , inevitably some subtleties and nuances of the original italian piece are probably lost . feedback and / or suggestions are welcome .\nin the situations surrounding the infant deaths from the morinaga arsenic milk incident , the mentally destabilizing impact on the families involved was very great indeed . the mothers felt guilty about having fed their babies the poisoned formula , and suffered both because of this and as victims in their own right .\nuntil this great film , the french stuck to the official second world war myth in which plucky resistance to the nazis and vichy was the rule and collaboration the exception .\nminamata incident terrified not even us but also whole world . we started awareness campaign in 1983 in sri lanka . several effected persons visited sri lanka and they explained how they suffer from the minamata disease . mercury pollution has given harmful lesson for mankind .\nparticipants were treated to a lunch prepared by minamata community members and had the opportunity to learn about the many activities that have made minamata the first eco - capital of japan .\nmasami ogata , minamata disease municipal museum storyteller , shared his and his family\u2019s suffering , including his struggle to be certified as a minamata disease victim .\ntsuchimoto believed he could honor minamata\u2019s victims by recognizing their struggles as belonging to the larger problem of worldwide pollution poisoning many people like them . for the filmmaker , it was necessary not only to know what was happening , but also to understand why . he followed minamata : the victims and their world with three ninety -

but at that point support organizations were established , for example those related to certain political parties , those supported by volunteer organizations , or those organized under traditional leadership orientations . these were victims ' organizations which confronted the polluting industry instead of being exploited by it , and in so doing were able to increase national understanding of the minamata disease . the organizations sought to define and isolate the polluter by calling the activities of the polluter socially sanctioned murder . the health of the various victims compromised by the disaster will never return to normal , but , through their activities and organizations , they have been able to avoid the total destruction of their own personalities . they have also managed to get a certain amount of compensation , which has gone a long way toward sustaining a decent life - style . however , many of the disease victims refused to belong to any of these groups and rejected the minamata disease victim label . these people remain in very dire straits economically , and regard the group - oriented victims with mixed feelings of envy and hatred .\noften industrial circles , governmental administrative agencies , and medical professionals have made use of a technique designed to question the veracity of the victim ' s claim to patient status . in the instance of the minamata disease , government agencies , medical professionals and representatives of the polluting industry would without hesitation spread rumours that most of the damage victims seeking certification were only doing so in order to receive monetary compensation . these methods have not changed , although their effects have been resisted by the victims and their support groups . in reference to the miike coal - mine explosion victims , the supporters of the mining industry and industry - paid medical professionals would call the victim ' s medical problems the\nunion disease .\nthe labour union requested that this designation no longer be used , but this label continued to shape the understandings of the local community . the victims were further compromised by these tactics , and the government , along with the medical community and the advocates of industry , combined into a biaxial power dedicated to further striking down the various victims of industrial wastage .\nfumio kishida , minister of foreign affairs , japan , signed the minamata convention on mercury .\nwylbur simuusa , minister of foreign affairs , zambia , signed the minamata convention on mercury .\nwhile many of the conflicts around the world have been repeated in the name of retaliation of one form or another , i feel great respect for the japan war - bereaved families association , which has consistently engaged in activities aimed towards a peaceful world , free of war . we must realize their ardent wish for peace , born of their own painful experiences . to that end , i believe it is important for all of us today who are enjoying the benefits of peace to continue to make every effort to nip the buds of conflict and suffering both in japan and abroad , and to always aspire strongly towards peace in the world .\nduring the past year , their majesties made official and private regional visits to twenty - five cities , four towns , and one village in twelve prefectures in all , excluding their visits to the imperial villas for rest and recuperation .\n, the international ngo ipen said today . speaking in minamata on the eve of a diplomatic conference in kumamoto that will adopt the \u201cminamata convention , \u201d senior science and technical advisor for ipen , joe digangi , said :\nthe adverse effects of pollution - related diseases are different when the victims are breadwinners , as opposed to infants , as in the morinaga arsenic milk poisoning case , or the entire spectrum from infants to old people , as in the minamata disease .\nin the years following , tsuchimoto presented his minamata work as educational films on travels throughout the world , including a mid - 1970s visit to first nation communities in canada who had suffered an outbreak similar to minamata disease . he would also periodically return to making films about minamata , completing fifteen in total by the time of his death . ( a sixteenth was subsequently made from some of his unused footage by motoko tsuchimoto , his wife and frequent editor . ) his goal in doing so , he claimed , was to leave records of the area\u2019s suffering and development . \u201cthe history of the minamata disease is not yet over , \u201d he said in 2006 , at a time when chisso was still paying reparations to victims and their families ( as it has continued to do until at least as recently as 2010 , the same year in which the united nations formed the minamata convention on mercury in order to lower worldwide emissions ) , and as minamata itself was turning from a fishing city into an industrial one . \u201cnobody prevented the new lives to be born in fear of the minamata disease . \u201d\nw . eugene smith and his wife , aileen miyoko smith , in their home . 1972 .\nat the laputa animation festival in 2003 , 140 animators from around the world were asked to make a list of what they considered the 20 b . . .\nminamata : the victims and their world is one of four documentaries by noriaki tsuchimoto ( \u571f\u672c\u5178\u662d , 1928 -

recovery , external factors generated by the polluting industry , governmental administrators , medical professionals , scholars , pro - industry citizens ' groups , and the mass media more often than not had a negative impact .\n\u201call around the world there are beautiful places like minamata where serious toxic pollution problems are being ignored because their effects happen quietly , over time , to one person at a time . in the future , when people learn about minamata , my hope is that they will not only learn about the terrible tragedy here , but they will hear about how a government and a people turned a terrible tragedy into something that made them proud instead of ashamed and sad , \u201d digangi concluded .\nby quiet sequences that give the spectator a moment to pause and reflect . these quiet moments are often montages that capture the natural beauty of the landscape and the sea of the region . with each new story of pain and loss , the tension slowly builds until the film\u2019s dramatic climax in which the victims and their families go to the chisso biannual shareholders meeting to confront the company president and demand that he publicly take responsibility for his company\u2019s crimes against humanity and the environment .\npersonality changes constitute the third level of environmental pollution - related damage , and as such are inextricably bound up with the second level of damage , the destruction of health . some of the victims of environmental problems who suffered physiological disorders also suffered from changes in personality . but it is not clear whether these changes were a response to the sickness or were inherent in the pathology of the sickness . such cases are found among victims who suffered nerve damage , for example minamata disease ( mercury - poisoning ) patients , the carbon monoxide poisoning victims , and the victims of smon ( a medicine - induced iatrogenic disease ) . the symptom common to all of these patients is that they are easily angered , and this fundamental change in personality is endemic to the disease process .\neven in the case of severe damage to health , victims ' suffering will depend on the impact of the disease on their life as a whole . this differing degree of response depends on differentials in social status and economic class . the serious symptoms displayed by the victims of environmental pollution are a great shock to the families involved , but whether or not the burden to the particular family is lightened or not will depend greatly on economic level and access to sources of information .\nit was at this point that tsuchimoto and his crew entered minamata , with the goal of getting the victims to relate their struggles . the film ( originally 167 minutes long , and which zakka offers in the 120 - minute - long version that tsuchimoto made for international release ) consists largely of scenes in which the camera sits patiently facing a minamata villager , observing his or her health and sickness while listening to the person talk . an older woman tells how she repeatedly filed legal complaints after her husband\u2019s minamata disease - related death with the hope of the state placing blame for it ; an older man describes how his wife has been driven so mad by the disease that their grandchildren call her \u201canimal\u201d ; a series of parents present their children , unable to talk or walk , with even the teenagers still mentally infantile . the overriding demand that the film\u2019s minamata residents make is for recognition . the film leads up to an indelible climax in which a minamata activist group storms a public chisso shareholder\u2019s meeting , and a woman who has lost both her parents to md screams to the company president , \u201cyou can\u2019t buy lives with money ! \u201d\none would like to read more details in the literal english subtitles such as the specifics of the infection or the newspaper accounts of last july , which listed 428 victims , 69 , of whom died . an epilogue points out that the chisso company paid about \u00a31 . 5\u2010million to 138 victims last year .\nthere are many types of damage to human health . in the case of the miike coal - mine explosion , carbon monoxide victims were reduced to human vegetables , a condition that is tantamount to being dead . the health of many other victims was also compromised to various degrees .\non wednesday , the government of japan hosted a field trip for delegates to minamata as part of the ceremonial opening of the diplomatic conference .\nafter japan ' s loss in the war , the wealthy , cultured , liberal anjo family have to give up their mansion and their way of life . they hold one last ball at the house before leaving . the . . . see full summary \u00bb\neventually this all led into a study group called the ao no kai . we started this group at iwanami , and in the midst of everyone going off in their own directions , two people who stuck their heads in were ogawa shinsuke and higashi yoichi . by that time kuroki kazuo and tsuchimoto noriaki were already established directors so their status was a little different .\nlakeith stanfield and his sorry to bother you crew reveal their most soul - crushing jobs in our freewheeling interview .\nmanipulative ? yes , if it ' s manipulative to choose beautiful children to look into the camera , their faces alive with grief and confusion . these deeply felt images found their way to make a vital human connection .\nin the post - second world war period the labour union movement , as the vanguard of the many mass movements seen in that difficult period , were very much this type of organization , and in 1955 when the morinaga arsenic milk poisoning case surfaced , or when the minamata disease appeared in 1956 , the general public did not think of these problems as violations of basic human rights . the victims and their families did not know what they could or should do when faced with the contamination of baby milk by arsenic or the poisoning of whole households by the mercury - tainted fish caught in minimata bay , after centuries of fishing in the same area with no sign of an environmental problem .\nthe film is particularly interesting for its use of sound . the lack of synch between the image and the soundtrack is initially distracting . sound was a big problem for low budget documentary filmmakers of the day as it was recorded separately from the image . the asynchronous sound provided tsuchimoto with the opportunity to play with the soundtrack in innovative ways . as his subjects tell us their stories , we are treated to montages of images of the dead , their families , and their homes . the a\nthe citation for ishimure reads in part , \u201cin electing michiko ishimure to receive the 1973 ramon magsaysay award for journalism , literature and creative communication arts , the board of trustees recognizes her as the \u2018voice of her people\u2019 in their struggle against the industrial pollution that has been distorting and destroying their lives . \u201d urltoken\nthe shiranui sea\u2014minamata series part ii , dvd , color , 150 min . , 1975 . more information at urltoken .\nwith nobuteru ishihara , minister of environment , japan , achim steiner , executive director of unep , presented the\npez - peste\nstatue to katsuaki miyamoto , mayor of minamata , for permanent display at the minamata disease municipal museum .\nin these ways the social roles of the victims and the positions held by them in the families involved also determine to a great extent the degree of damage done to the family infrastructure . it cannot be said that when the breadwinner of the family becomes the victim of pollution , the strains on the family are greater than when a baby or child is the victim . it is generally understood that the differing familial roles held by the victims of pollution or industrial disaster result in differing levels and types of stress within the family .\nyet rather than cooperate in subsequent investigations , for many years chisso did everything it could to deny its role in propagating this disease , including pumping wastewater under cover of night and prohibiting scientists from taking samples from the bay for examination . the narrator describes some chisso employees as sympathetic to the plight of minamata patients , even alerting residents of minamata to chisso\u2019s plans to divert their wastewater channel to another location ; similarly , researchers from the chisso company hospital contribute to efforts to understand the disease better . and at its august 1967 meeting the chisso first union issued a declaration condemning its own failure to fight minamata disease and affirming its commitment to do so in the future . but for the most part , sea of suffering paints chisso as an absolute villain ; one that denies any connection between factory wastewater and minamata disease yet prohibits scientists from studying the wastewater ; one that does everything it can to avoid paying indemnities and instead continues to discharge poisonous effluent , thus expanding the number of people who may demand compensation ; and one that delays dispatching employees to visit hospitalized minamata patients until 1965 , more than a decade after the outbreak of the illness . the narrator comments : \u201clooked at from today\u2019s perspective , the noble and strong personality and the superior investigative research of dr . hosokawa [ one of the premier researchers of minamata disease ] into the outbreak and spread of minamata disease provides a fantastic contrast with all the attitudes [ and behaviors ] exhibited by the chisso corporation\u201d ( 69 ) . throughout sea of suffering the narrator alternates references to chisso\u2019s heartlessness with those to the dedication of medical researchers . it often is difficult for minamata doctors to understand their patients , since minamata disease makes speech a challenge , but the novel portrays physicians as doing whatever they can to assist those suffering from this disease . the narrator calls attention to the bonds that form between doctors and their patients and the trust the latter have in their physicians , except when they believe they are being used solely to further a doctor\u2019s career .\ntributes have been pouring in around the world for kaneto shind\u014d ( \u65b0\u85e4 \u517c\u4eba , 2012 - 2012 ) , who passed away last week at the age of 100 . . . .\nsea of suffering underscores how national politicians and other government employees downplay if not disavow minamata disease . to be sure , the central government is depicted as initially being concerned about the illness . the narrator notes that in 1957 the ministry of education established the minamata disease comprehensive research group , a unit composed primarily not of chisso officials but instead of presumably impartial doctors from kumamoto university medical school . the group\u2019s report identified organic mercury as the most likely cause of the disease and pointed to chisso\u2019s practice of pouring untreated wastewater into minamata bay . despite these findings , the japanese government for many years did not prohibit chisso from continuing to discharge outflow , nor did it enact measures to clean polluted waters or to help those stricken with minamata disease . these disavowals of the significance of this illness marked the beginning of decades of frustrating struggles by minamata patients and their families , with both the central government and chisso .\non the basis of the bleak record poignantly and pointedly presented in \u201cminamata , \u201d that statistic doesn ' t seem to be the answer to the terrible , perhaps portentous , problem of pollution .\nthis year saw much to celebrate , but we also experienced many heartbreaking events , such as torrential rainstorms and volcanic eruption . i offer my prayers for the souls of the victims and give my thoughts to the deep sadness of those who have lost family members and the pain of those whose family members have not yet been found . and to those who have faced endless difficulties on the volcano while helping and searching for the victims , prefectural officials , members of the self - defense forces , firefighters , police officers , medical personnel , and the health workers who have been constantly at the side of the families awaiting news of their loved ones , i also express my gratitude and deepest respect .\nmr . smith had encouraged mr . ishikawa to take his own photographs , even while helping him with the grueling minamata project . mr . ishikawa became friends with many young people in minamata and kept in touch with several of mr . smith\u2019s subjects in the following decades as he pursued his own career . although he traveled constantly , he decided in 2008 that he should document what had become of the surviving victims .\nforces us to listen more closely to the words and to study the face of the speaker more carefully . although each family has their own individual tale of suffering and loss to tell , taken together one gets the sense of a community of simple , hardworking people who have been unjustly made into outcasts in the town where their families have lived and fished for generations . the story of their fight for justice is not only of historical import , but their determination against all odds is also inspiring for the many people who are today suffering at the hands of an unfeeling bureaucracy in the southernmost prefecture of tohoku .\non june 8 this year , his imperial highness prince yoshihito of katsura passed away . in deep sorrow , their majesties went into mourning for five days , sharing in the grief of the bereaved family . in the period immediately after his passing , their majesties visited his home and the akasaka east residence four times . after the funeral rites and the ceremony to mark the 100th day of his passing , they paid official visits to the toshimagaoka cemetery to pay their respects .\nthis entry was posted in assignments , momotaro and tagged common people , essay 2 , heroes , minamata , momotaro sea eagle . bookmark the permalink .\nmost important , these conflicts exist\u2014albeit often surreptitiously\u2014within individuals . in the epilogue to rowing the eternal sea , the english adaptation of rowing the boat of the eternal world , \u014diwa notes that for ogata the \u201csolution\u201d is \u201ca return to a spiritual world on earth , in which everyone and everything has a place . it is a world in which life is respected , worshipped , and celebrated\u201d ( 185 ) . yet despite ogata\u2019s and his colleagues\u2019 deep attachments to the nonhuman , despite ogata\u2019s claim at the conclusion of rowing the eternal sea that \u201cembraced by the mountains and sea / ego dissolves ; self and landscape are one , \u201d behaviors of local peoples do not conflict as drastically as might be supposed with the behaviors of outsiders that ogata and \u014diwa criticize so harshly ( 175 ) . to be sure , the actions of local fishers rarely have as concentrated an impact on human and nonhuman health as those of large polluters ; the fishers do not exhibit anywhere near the same desire for wealth , technology , prestige , or power as do the chisso corporation , the japanese government , and many of their neighbors ( individuals particularly concerned with their financial futures ) . but even though they pride themselves on their humility , the fishers too are not without culpability .\nif these touching scenes in a major portion of the film are subdued , \u201cminamata , \u201d nevertheless , strongly implies and occasionally illustrates what appears to be big industry and governmental apathy before it builds to a literally riotous climax as the diseased and their sympathizers descend on a meeting in osaka of the impassive president and board of directors of the chisso company , , operators of the plant , to demand reparations and justice .\nyet to date , although ishimure has been called the \u201cjapanese rachel carson , \u201d the impact of her work\u2014unlike that of the american ecologist rachel carson ( 1907 - 1964 ) \u2014has been confined primarily to japan . 7 sea of suffering generally is credited as one of the driving forces behind japan\u2019s social activism surrounding minamata and other pollution diseases . to be sure , the novel has been criticized for being \u201cfiction\u201d and for not always adhering perfectly to the \u201ctruth . \u201d but it is through this novel that the voices of those suffering from minamata disease have been most powerfully heard\u2014as the japanese literature scholar keiko kanai has discussed , many minamata activists have \u201ccited [ sea of suffering ] as seminal in motivating them to fight . \u201d and some activists have stated explicitly that \u201cthe characters in [ sea of suffering ] are more real to them than the actual victims\u201d ( making up for minamata ) . this latter statement might seem peculiar\u2014characters more real than actual victims ? but in turning actual victims into characters , writers often make painful human experiences more accessible and in so doing promote and sustain engagement , most directly at home but also across linguistic and national borders . 8\nin both rowing the boat of the eternal world and rowing the eternal sea ogata comments , \u201cfor me , [ the reclaimed land in minamata bay ] is in a word a place to apologize . it is a place to apologize not for others but for myself . it is a time to think of my own crimes\u201d ( rowing the boat 156 ) . rowing the eternal sea elaborates on questions of individual and collective guilt . ogata asserts that even though he completely opposes chisso and its practices , he bears some responsibility for what happened in minamata :"]}

minute narrative , but there\u2019s hardly anything in the script . the actor is granted the benefit of doubt . karan singh grover did alone before hate story , so he can\u2019t be granted any leverage . zarine khan and daisy shah look great , but that\u2019s pretty much it .\nin a week that has brought to indian theatres the film angry indian goddesses with every swear word uttered by its characters muted out on the orders of the central board of film certification ( cbfc ) , there also comes hate story 3 . not only do people in this film use the f -

runs across smaller towns in years to come , hence bringing in little money for its makers consistently .\nthis serious and tragic story is told in a way that will make you forget you\u2019re playing a video game . the visuals , direction and script make it all the more authentic .\nthe best critics slams of ed sheeran ' s ' divide ' sheeran ' s\nhorribly sentimental\nlyrics rubbed some writers the wrong way . check out this story on urltoken urltoken\nthat bit of the story was revealed prior to the release of the title . i won\u2019t go any further than that to keep from spoiling the significant events of this well -

where fields had been ploughed up for crops or ringed with obstacles to deter airborne landings , and where horses and horsemen were hard to find .\nauthorities were called to the 1500 block of north union bower road , near east grauwyler road , around 10 : 30 a . m . after a hit -

based nationalist ideologies . the articles published in the sokol journal , lectures held in the sokol libraries , and theatrical performances at the massive gymnastic festivals called slets helped to craft and disseminate the czech nationalist mythology and version of history .\nsavage : there ' s not necessarily a reason for someone being selected or not , and in the case of that first group of six , it was devastating to us only to be able to continue to work with four of them because we knew that every single one of those young women faced unique struggles and had a story worth telling .\nthe 25th annual film independent spirit awards were announced on tuesday , and two austin -

[ laughs ]\nsavage : in the early days , i think the show allowed the audience to be privy to private conversations around unplanned pregnancy that you never would have heard otherwise , which is powerful . it opened up new ways for kids to talk to their parents about sex and birth control - - for example , it is probably much easier to start a conversation with your mom about getting an iud or a depo shot by talking about a decision maci made or discussing something that cate and ty were just doing . and as the show has evolved , people have just continued to be invested in the lives of the teen moms as they have taken different directions .\nsavage : i met amber before i ever saw her casting tape - - i ' d just talked to morgan about what was going on with her . our first shoot was on 4th of july weekend , and it was filled with a lot of drama because gary had just spent all of their money on a video game console . amber and her family were really upset , and everyone was meeting for the first time for a bbq ( take a trip down memory lane with part of her episode below ) . my first impression when i showed up at her house the night before we were supposed to begin filming was that she had a lot to say and wasn ' t afraid to articulate it , which is always something you are grateful for as a producer . and that she and gary were hilarious and that i could listen to them talk all day . and that she was stubborn !\nmarvel\u2019s phase 4 gives the studio a chance to push for greater diversity when it comes to rounding out the next iteration of earth\u2019s mightiest heroes .\npaul rudd and evangeline lilly reunite in a marvel sequel that\u2019s faster , funnier , and more cunningly confident than the original .\na prequel to the \u201cpurge\u201d series , and the first set in the inner city , is a crude exploitation film that still manages to pack a timely punch .\na documentary about whitney houston offers a soaring testament to her art as well as an explanation for why she destroyed herself .\ndeliriously creative and ambitious to a fault , boots riley\u2019s gonzo debut extends the rapper\u2019s outspoken social critique .\nas a detective story , it\u2019s top -

chemistry route and approach max and kira separately . i think that a lot of scripts , indie or otherwise , fail because they\u2019re going out of their way for the happy ending . they have this really organic story building and they go out of their way to make the characters come together .\nds : or the coincidences are just so big . i think our coincidence is pretty organic and very small . i think you need to feel like it\u2019s authentic , otherwise it becomes this story where magical forces are at work , intervening\u2026\nfp : the kira character maintains this emotional consistency throughout the film . working with a non - professional actor in the role , was that something that scared you as a director ?\nds : i think in a traditional hollywood narrative you have the character who has a lot going on , who\u2019s really internal . i think that might be more challenging for a traditional actor to tone it down and not be overly emotive . i just think that her great skill was to really make things natural .\nfp : you both live here . why did you decide to shoot this in san francisco ?\nds : we really wanted to set the movie in san francisco because it\u2019s vibrant and it\u2019s got a good vibe . but we also thought san francisco was kind of a mindset within the film \u2014 the way that the characters are not the same characters that you find in new york .\nfp : how did wiley wiggins get hooked up with the project ? i can\u2019t remember seeing him in anything since dazed and confused .\nds : i met him when i was at south by southwest back in 2005 , and we\u2019ve been friends ever since . i was producing a film in austin , and i was walking down the street thinking about who could play the character of max . suddenly i realized , \u201cwiley wiggins is max ! \u201d\nlv : i didn\u2019t really know who he was , so i wound up being shocked by how uncannily well - suited he was for the part .\nds : but then we had to convince wiley to do it . he had a life down in austin . he\u2019s been a few friend\u2019s projects over the past few years , but nothing major . and maybe i wasn\u2019t clear when i said to him , \u201coh i\u2019m making this movie in san francisco ; you should come be in it . \u201d he said sure , but when i called him to schedule things , he was like \u201cwhoa , wait , rehearsals ? \u201d i think he must have read the first scene and that was it . i was like , \u201cyou\u2019re the star . \u201d he was surprised , but he was totally on board .\nds : honestly , no . i mean there are subtle things . i think that we might have a different perspective . for example : there\u2019s a kind of alternative buddy movie in this film that may or may not be attributed to lauren being a female writer . but in a more traditional script , the friend would intervene . here , he just watches his friend self destruct .\nlv : but that\u2019s just good writing . [ laughs ] i think it doesn\u2019t necessarily behoove us as writers or filmmakers to talk about \u201cwomen writers\u201d as a single , uniform group . i think it\u2019s really limiting . but the stuff that we do that\u2019s unique is judged more harshly because there are so few of us . i\u2019m really proud of the fact that we very contentiously made a story that plays equally well for men and women . i don\u2019t like stuff that get\u2019s called chick flicks . i think it sucks . here , you have the humor and you have emotions \u2014 but it\u2019s not a sappy story .\nlv : not for me because i had just gone through a really tumultuous time and i was just hating the world . [ laughs ]\nds : no , i think aesthetically we\u2019re not that sappy . neither of us were looking to make a film that neatly tied up everything . we were looking to make something with the rhythm of a comedy until things got more serious in the script .\nlv : comedy is seen as a man\u2019s form . it\u2019s assumed that women make social issue documentaries . i think that\u2019s changing , with women like tina fey and amy poehler , getting huge deals and making a lot of money \u2014 and of course they have men in their audiences like crazy . but if you look at who\u2019s on top on the roster specifically at comedy agencies and management firms , it\u2019s like 99 percent male . so it\u2019s really difficult .\nlv : i feel like a pioneer everyday ! [ laughs ] it\u2019s sad but true . but i hope that it\u2019s changing . humpday has done well \u2014 really well . it was warmly received at sundance . it got a standing ovation . and [ lynn shelton\u2019s ] very much the force behind that film . so i really hope it\u2019s changing because i hate talking about it in this way that sounds so frustrated and victim - y . but really if you\u2019re a male writer and you\u2019re 22 years old , it doesn\u2019t matter . you are taken seriously instantly . it\u2019s much easier to get an agent and find jobs . so i think the approach needs to be : you have to be positive . you have to take yourself seriously . you cannot afford to take yourself less seriously or get bitter because you\u2019re not part of the boy\u2019s club because then you will get locked out .\nwe won the adrienne shelly director\u2019s grant a year and a half ago . at the beginning of the night , they had this quote from adrienne about how when she first started her career , all she wanted to do was talk about how challenging it was to be a female director . and then supposedly she didn\u2019t want to talk about it anymore . after about ten years , she wanted to talk about it again because she saw it was a real problem . it wasn\u2019t just bullshit . you are up against different challenges .\nlv : i think she both embraced that female filmmaker label and kind of hated it . but it\u2019s important . you have to be able to say , yes , it has been a struggle ; yes we need to change this . because , let\u2019s face it , regardless of your gender , making any movie is war . it\u2019s really like war .

show subjects . gender balance\ndespite the success of experimental and political films like sisters in the struggle and forbidden love , as well as the unit\u2019s public response to accusations of exclusivity , studio d implemented little change within its own workplace during the early 90s . dianne burgess writes : \u201calthough the nif allowed for the professional development of women of colour , problems arise when one faces the reality that these contract positions would not necessarily lead to changes in the management structure at the nfb . \u201d by welcoming more divergent issues and opinions into the women\u2019s unit without implementing substantial change within the institution itself , executive producers subjected outgrowths of studio d to the same limitations they had inherited from the nfb .\n) readers who may not be familiar with the film are quickly immersed in its text , subtext , and paratext . bruce and cammaer thoroughly unpack the film\u2019s clever composition of interviews with ten women speaking about their personal experience including lesbian pulp fiction author ann bannon , fictional vignettes parodying the conventions of lesbian pulp fiction itself , and archival footage .\nbetty was born on a farm just outside in sydney , australia and shirley was born in sudbury in 1924 . the two meet in toronto in the 1960s , where they were apart of the lesbian bar scene that gravitated around the continental . at the time of the\u2026\npremise : a study of the lifestyles of gay women from the late 1940s to the early ' 60s , focusing on specialized pulp fiction of the era . included : dramatizations of scenes from lesbian - themed fiction . written and directed by aerlyn weissman and lynne fernie . ( more )\nregardless of the number of divergent films produced , the studio was still governed in accordance with the nfb\u2019s tradition of marketing non - partisan and objective images of difference . this structural oversight leads elizabeth anderson to suggest that studio d\u2019s efforts to produce films about women beyond the narrow demographic of the unit\u2019s permanent staff were in fact token efforts that provided \u201ca comfortable , distant way for audiences to sample the lives of people who exist at the margins of the national community without having to fully engage . \u201d in other words , studio d\u2019s attempt to better accommodate difference actually realigned the unit with the nfb ; studio d\u2019s sub - units like nif only tokenized black and indigenous women\u2019s stories in accordance to the aesthetic and political limitations that the nfb bestowed upon studio d itself .\naccordingly , an important strategy among lesbian and gay critics is to insist on the possibility and the importance of different receptions of all kinds of music , an insistence which can undermine any authority or objectivity criticism might claim for itself , and of destroying the essentializing or minoritizing drive to confine lesbian and gay music criticism to style analysis . suzanne cusick , in an extremely radical statement quite early in the movement ' s history ( delivered at the first feminist theory and music conference , 1991 ) , insisted on , and explored , a special lesbian relationship to music itself (\nb . w . holsinger . \u0091the flesh of the voice : embodiment and the homoerotics of devotion in the music of hildegard of bingen ( 1098\u00961179 ) \u0092 .\nthis second wave of political action coincided with changes within musicology and criticism brought about by the belated impact of poststructural interdisciplinary ways of thinking . a phenomenon dubbed \u0091the new musicology\u0092 began a process of wresting absolute music from the ideology of universal values , transcendence and autonomy . it also heralded a more inclusive , as well as more firmly located , critical practice that refused to leave the category \u0091music\u0092 unmarked in the traditional manner , but embraced all musical phenomena and avoided meaningless comparisons between different genres and different cultural practices . there emerged around 1990 a group of lesbian and gay scholars and critics prepared to work on lesbian and gay topics with a set of procedures derived from feminist and poststructuralist critiques . like the lesbian and gay musical organizations before them , this group also ignored the traditional genre boundaries . the founding in 1989 of the gay and lesbian study group ( glsg ) of the american musicological society constituted a recognition of this phenomenon .\n) . his manipulation of the \u0091open secret\u0092 was more extreme than that of any number of less flamboyant but also closeted gay musicians : the openly flaunted markings of a hidden identity allowed those who adored him to use their adoration ( and his and their mother - love ) to bolster their own sense of difference and superiority .\n) . there has also been a long tradition of appropriation of the material from musicals in every conceivable gay context . with the 1970s articulation of gay and lesbian identity , musicals with gay themes or characters arrived , many of them becoming mainstream commercial successes . if\nnotably , the film is now available for the first time as a subtitled version in french . accessibility to this much - loved film is a big part of maintaining the canadian gay community\u2019s heritage . in fact , just last year , professor thomas waugh ( a well - known queer film theory and history scholar and concordia university research chair in documentary film and in sexual representation ) called for the re - release of forbidden love due to its seminal place in canadian history . waugh says the film is at the \u201ccentre of our queer heritage . \u201d\nmaya gallus is the subject of this year\u2019s focus on series , which will screen half a dozen of her films from 1991\u2019s elizabeth smart : on the side of the angels to 2013\u2019s derby crazy love . and music documentarian tony palmer receives this year\u2019s outstanding achievement award and attendant retrospective , including his 1968 bbc program all my loving , an episode of his massive 1976 series all you need is love ( the one about the beatles , naturally ) and his 2010 feature bird on a wire , about leonard cohen\u2019s 1972 european tour .\nnicole & julie ( 2005 , 50 x 60 ) by grace moon . | resplendent | pinterest | lesbian , fiction and queer art\nthe canadian lesbian and gay archives is located on the traditional lands of the mississaugas of the new credit first nation , the haudenosaunee , the anishnaabe and the huron - wendat . today , toronto is still the home to many indigenous people from across turtle island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land .\nbonnie sherr klein\u2019s 1981 documentary , not a love story : a film about pornography , encapsulates the challenges studio d faced when attempting to disrupt patriarchal norms in a larger project of feminist community building . many women both within and outside of the unit celebrated the film for \u201crepresenting the first collage of pornographic culture , \u201d chris sherbarth writes , \u201cpresented from a critical\u2014and accessible\u2014perspective . \u201d not a love story fulfilled studio d\u2019s larger intention to both document feminist movements and take part in their impetus insofar as klein\u2019s documentary simultaneously recorded and contributed to the anti - pornography movement in 1980s . but the film was also criticized for its employment of inherited cinematic forms and its imposition of stagnating moral judgments . much like studio d , not a love story functioned as a point of contention for many feminist groups invested in the possibilities of representation .\nthis sequel to yossi and jagger finds dr . yossi gutmann reminiscing about his love ten years after his death ; however , as he encounters a group of young soldiers , one of them , tom , reignites his romantic feelings .\nahead of its time , the history of lesbian sexuality was brought out of the closet in this 1992 documentary . featuring interviews from a variety of rebellious women discussing their queer experiences in the ' 40s , ' 50s and ' 60s , it ' s required viewing for any queer woman .\ndespite its issues with transitioning and diversity within the lesbian community , this trend - setting series portrayed an audience not used to seeing themselves so glam and with a plethora of problems ( not just coming out ) to tackle on screen . the l word candidly explored the drama of lesbian life and pulling no punches , it was a world where you were gay until proven straight .\nlove is love became the clear motto for dan levy ' s character on the cbc sitcom schitt ' s creek , when he came out as pansexual . kudos to levy for delivering one of the most hilarious explanations to date of what it means to be pansexual :\ni do drink red wine . but i also drink white wine and i ' ve been known to sample the occasional ros\u00e9 . and a couple summers back i tried a merlot that used to be a chardonnay .\nthere would always have been a danger , in writing a combined article like this , of an imbalance between the sexes : we worked hard to eliminate that possibility , but our editor again did not help us . the change of title , which he would not accept , was a statement of our intent . he also rejected our attempt to relate the gay and lesbian movement post - stonewall and the appearance of lesbian and gay perspectives / studies in music in the 1990s to political and intellectual contexts and developments . these included the impact the women ' s liberation movement of the 1960s had upon lesbian visibility , feminist debates about sex , sex differences and sexual oppression , the \u0091women ' s music\u0092 movement and study of women in music and the development of feminist critique and studies of gender and sexuality .\nanother phenomenon of the period was the inception of specifically lesbian / gay bands and choruses . among the earliest of these was new york ' s victoria woodhull all - women ' s marching band ( 1973 ) , named after a 19th century feminist and presidential candidate ( and not exclusively lesbian , although its theme song was \u0091the dykes go marching in\u0092 ) , and catherine roma ' s anna crusis women ' s choir in philadelphia ( 1975 ) , still a leading organization in the performance of new music by women . the gotham male chorus , founded in 1977 , later incorporated women to become the stonewall chorale , the first lesbian and gay chorus . in 1978 jon sims founded the san francisco gay freedom day marching band and twirling corps , which became a noted focus for the political aspirations of the large lesbian and gay community in that city ; a gay men ' s chorus soon followed .\nthe big threat now , of course , is from the pc thought - police . one of sadie ' s innovations is a series of articles on attitudes and ideologies : no problem with nazism or marxism , or with nationalism \u0097 on which the formidable richard taruskin pontificates \u0097 but the discussion of homosexuality gave a lot of problems . sadie has an article on gay and lesbian music , whose authors \u0097 a male brit and an australian female \u0097 initially wanted it billed as \u0091lesbian and gay music\u0092 .\nvery different from this case is the increasing number of examinations of works for cultural traces that are writ large in the surrounding societal context , or identity - based critical interpretations enriched with a sense of the history of culture . work on communities of nuns and on the many women composers of italy , for instance , has prompted questions about how early modern religious eroticism might reflect an erotics of these suppressed voices , and has invited lesbian interpretations of the work of the many religious women who exhibit extravagant devotion to the virgin mary . recent work ( by cusick ) on francesca caccini also shows how a feminist and specifically lesbian approach can enliven and illumine the discussion of historical issues around music and the patriarchy . in view of the various inflections of the orpheus legend , too , significance has been read into the fact that in the monteverdi - striggio\nd . eder , s . staggenborg and l . sudderth . \u0091the national women ' s music festival : collective identity and diversity in a lesbian - feminist community\u0092 .\n] the opportunity to write abut the entire field ( as opposed to the genre - inflected approach of previous encyclopaedias ) was very instructive . the piece we produced was not intended to close the book on whatever \u0091lesbian and gay music\u0092 might be , but to use theoretical speculation and suggestion to open it up . we hope that anyone reading it will be able to see straight away the possibility of dozens of dissertation or book topics . and we dedicate it to all those who have worked , often at considerable professional disadvantage , in this field that connects our scholarship to our lives in the most fruitful way .\ndid you know that forbidden love was a huge box - office and critical hit when it was initially released in 1992 ? in addition to a successful theatrical run in canada , the film was also distributed by women make movies in the us , where it played in 60 cities , including a 6 - week run at the film forum in new york city . after its theatrical run , the film played on the cbc in canada and on channel 4 in the uk ( where it was seen by over 1 million people ) .\nsuch tensions of the human spirit brought about by the forces of oppression and the counterforces it also generates are much in need of deciphering in order to make greater sense of social and musical experience , both then and now . by focussing on such matters , a gay and lesbian perspective has the means to expand the entire critical and historical enterprise .\n: 29 ) asking questions never posed during musicology ' s long love - affair with straight fact . an example might be the placing of hildegard of bingen ' s lyrical effusions in a context of the medieval eroticization of the body focussed ( in her case ) on same - sex desire . pointing out \u0091how insistently \u0093queer\u0094 medieval christianity can be\u0092 , holsinger (\na lesbian or gay approach to tchaikovsky ' s life would most likely focus on his lively aspects , and the difference he made to the fields of concert music , opera and ballet . for instance , matthew bourne ' s remarkable reinterpretation of\n: 108\u009636 ) . at the close of the century , numerous lesbian and gay singers and queercore bands had a crossover popular following , or recorded on mainstream labels , including ani difranco , echobelly , janis ian , dan martin ( founder of outmusic , an organization of lesbian and gay composers and lyricists ) and michael biello , mouth almighty , me ' shell ndeg\u00e9ocello , pansy division , linda perry , placebo , queer conscience , lucy ray , skin , debbie smith , suede , skunk anansie , and sister george . the institution of the gay / lesbian american music awards ( glama ) in 1996 did much to consolidate and encourage an already prolific field of endeavour .\n1994 , p 1039 ) . with an emphasis on acoustic instruments , the music is grounded in folksong styles , sometimes inflected with blues , rock , jazz , reggae and even classical music . openly addressing lesbian desire and relationships as well as the feminist critique of patriarchy , misogyny and homophobia , it became important as an arena in which a lesbian community could be forged in the united states .\nif you have any interest whatsoever in lesbian lives as they really have been and still are lived this is the documentary to see . no doubt that we have to salute those women who\ndared\nto show their faces on screen in this documentary ; it ' s not anything we are used to at least not outside the north america . even though the woman portraited are , of course , living in north america it is still a fabulous documentary , actually quite breathtaking in all its\nnaturalness\n. also spiced with a bit of\nfilmic erotica\ni feel is it a necessity to watch for any lesbian woman . bravo to those who came up with the idea and bravo for the woman who dared all along !"]}

star ratings to a climax or will cherished hopes harboured in their ambitious breasts sag along the way and make them ponder whether it is wiser for the gentler sex , enveloped in a man\u2019s rough political world , to take it easy lying down at a slower tempo and opt to bag a short and sweet cameo role instead ?\nbut first there is the mandatory requirement by law that they must declare their assets before they secure their votes . on monday , the elections commissioner was quick to point this out insisting that those candidates who fail to reveal their assets will be deprived of their identify cards to enter polling booths . hold your horses . he doesn\u2019t have to worry a toss on that score . for once in election history , it is not only to the private gaze of the elections commissioner alone but to the delectation of the entire public that it has been already laid voluntarily , warts and all , without any cover up or attempt to conceal . for their face is their fortune , their figure their visa card to the next level of fame and riches and now power ; ah power , widely believed to be most potent of all aphrodisiacs known to man . the baring of assets has been made long before any legal deadline and prove beyond doubt that the vibrant , broadminded sinhala culture of the glorious sigiri apsara past , pulsate strongly still in their hot blooded veins . no top to toe black muslim purdahs for them to upset any bodu bala feelings ; and the rebel group\u2019s demands for more transparency in public affairs and female personal attire will be met more than adequately and thus provoke no protest marches or religious attacks . thus let\u2019s have no more frivolous talk that this country is still wedded to the prudish victorian mentality that cloaks piano legs and dictates prim and proper starched nanny dresses for the not so frigid female flock . no need to spell it out , suffice to say that our future political mistresses have been fittingly clad for every occasion they have been in , be it on the beach , a swim wear contest , a beauty queen pageant , a bed room scene ; and never have committed a fashion gaffe by being over dressed for the kill . but it is to their credit that all of them have shed their sari of hypocrisy and emerged as the thoroughly modern lankan lass geared in the genuine jeans of honesty and liberal outlook .\nnow for the introductions , just a few samplings of the feast on offer .\nfirst , the old sex siren of the silver screen , the no holds barred , frank and outspoken geetha kumarasinghe who never minces her words but gives it straight and , if need be , even below the belt . age has not withered her nor has custom staled the firebrand in her and she has already thrown the gauntlet to younger starlets to contest her at their peril and unequivocally stated that she will be the chief minister of the south . this is her blockbuster movie with the script written by her , the film produced and directed by her and the star role acted with an award winning performance by her with the happy ending already enacted even before the first vote has been cast . she is the prima donna of the polls opera , a jayalalithaa in the making and one\u2019s heart goes out to the sacrificial lamb the unp has offered in the form of young hot model nadeesha hemamali to meet her in a gladiator\u2019s duel unto dust . for all the manifest charms and the fixed ear to ear smile nadeesha wears and the fair and lovely cream she garnishes on her face as part of her \u2018photo shop\u2019 treatment , there is no doubt that geetha will have the poor filly for breakfast come march 29 .\nwhat then of the sporty songstress , the dumninda silva - backed , burgher - born julian white now muslim by marriage ginger who claims to be a \u2018galloping horse\u2019 ? without beating around the bush , she gets straight to the point changing species in midstream and says , \u201ci was the black sheep of the family but i can change that . i will fight for people\u2019s rights , i will provide service to infants and elderly , i will act when any urgency arises , i will not stay in one place for i am a working horse and i always gallop . \u201d with such a power house of \u2018going to dos\u2019 packed in her , she hits the high soprano range and belts , \u201d this is an opportunity in a lifetime for the public . to elect somebody like me who is known and who knows about them well . \u201d and thankful for the grace of god we all must be for this once in a lifetime chance\u2026 amen .\nthen there is the pretty ruwanthi mangala , the tele - drama actress and housewife whose reason to enter the fray is solely because duminda silva invited her to contest . \u201d i did not wish to disappoint him by refusing his invitation , \u201d she says . with her confidence on winning based on a few phone calls she received expressing full support for her , ruwanthi mangala says being an actress is like being a politician . \u201cwe start our day around 4 am and end it past midnight . \u201d she also admits she is clueless as to the contents of the constitution but adds that as artistes \u201cwe know our people\u2019s expectations and the same understanding might not be in someone who is greatly educated in politics . \u201d\ntoday the voters\u2019 choice is limited to the people the two parties nominate and put forward as their election candidates . whether they are saw dust filled ex - beauty queens , wannabe film stars entering politics to grab a slice of fame , models briefly stepping out of the catwalk to stretch their legs , marauding thugs , heroin - peddling drug dealers , serial murderers , noted pedophiles , perverted rapists or whether they are honest , decent , learned , respected pillars of society possessing moral rectitude depend on the initial screening and acceptance at nomination stage by the two parties .\nwho will become the people\u2019s political masters and mistresses is in the party leaders\u2019 hands . it is a responsibility that must be exercised prudently . if not , if the trend continues parliament and provincial councils will be turned into circuses of clowns , with its hare brain members smiling , cheering and clapping at the ring master\u2019s crack of the whip with no questions asked and no opinions expressed . listening to their master\u2019s voice and braying it aloud to the voting herd will be all they will be called upon to do .\nthis then is the darker side to the fun - filled and stardust sprinkled glamorous appearance of local celebrities on the election stage delivering hollow , inane , vacuous babble with the lofty air of the know all ; but their attractive presence on the poll platform , though welcome for the light relief and gaiety they offer , cannot be entertained for the slots are limited to contest and the seats even fewer to occupy . therefore the question that faces the nomination board of both parties must be who best can serve the nation , not who best has sex appeal to qualify as the people\u2019s pin up girl .\njathika hela urumaya champion udaya gammanpila has hit upon a novel indigenous plan to continue to be a winning player in the western idea of democratic elections .\nwith begging bowl in hand he flaunts his beggary as his vital asset and proof of his immaculate

untrained actors and actresses with unreasonably extended episodes , the quality of teledrama industry has fallen to a deplorable state . the teledrama directors themselves who made this criticism has requested the government to scrutinize every teledrama through a censor .\nthe founder president present chief organiser of tele makers guild ( tmg ) and experienced teledrama director sudath roahan explained that their main aim of this endeavour is to bring back artistic quality and standard to teledrama and attract the audience which is rapidly getting away from tv . the tmg has handed over a petition to the president and other relevant authorities to intervene and protect the art of teledrama .\nthe so called \u2018mega teledramas\u2019 have almost destroyed the popular cultural genre , which was introduced to the country by the award winning filmmaker dr . d . b . nihalsinghe with his direction \u2018dimuthu muthu\u2019 in the early 1980s , the directors complained . the trend was started with foreign teledramas been telecast with subtitles of local languages , which also became a highly profitable business . lured by the huge financial profits , the same trend was followed by some of the sri lankan directors who made dramas drag on to hundreds and hundreds of episodes .\n\u201can immediate solution is needed for this dangerous trend which has given way to so many unethical practices affecting the art , culture and accepted family norms , \u201d sudath rohana said .\nthe teledrama makers have requested the government to scrutinize teledramas through the public performance board ( ppb ) like other performing arts such as cinema , theatre and even music . \u201cif even a musical show has to be examined by the censor board , it is strange why teledrama which has become a common media watched by millions is not examined , \u201d sudath said .\nthe medium of teleplays was not included to go through the censor board because at the time ppb was established there was no medium of teledrama in the country . \u201cbesides the artistic quality of the teledrama at the beginning was so high that it did not need a censor , \u201d director sudath rohana said the tmg also complained that the unethical advertising practices followed by both the private and state television channels have ignored the artistic importance of teledrama which has also contributed to the tragedy .\nat the beginning a teledrama episode received a 25 minute time slot and there were some advertisers who did not wish to advertise in the middle of a teledrama as it would disturb the audience and affect the work of art , \u201d sudath said .\nbut today in a complete contrast not only the teledrama time is reduced to just 15 to 16 minutes but every single frame is filled with continuous stripes of advertisement all over the screen . the television channels have completely ignored the fact that every single frame of a teledrama is a result of a massive artistic research and preparation involving a large number of artistes both in front and behind the screen .\n\u201cthe tragedy is that this unfortunate trend started by the private channels is now being used by the state television channels as well , \u201d sudath spoke on behalf of the tmg .\n\u201cthe state television which has to be a guide to the private media has blatantly violated the advertising ethics and almost destroyed the artistic form of the teledrama . this has unfortunately resulted in talented teledrama directors leaving the medium .\n\u2018dooli pintharu\u2019 a teledrama made based on the

liyanage and it is pruced by rupavahini teledrama unit .\nthe 36 - episode teledrama was shot for 90 days in a large number of locations including riverstan , matale , nuwara eliya , ratnapura , colombo fort and a few scenes in galle fort . director santhusha liyanage says that making of this teledrama was a completely different experience as a world renowned story set in the west was recreated in sri lanka .\n\u201cin order to maintain the quality that requires by this wonderful story we had to deploy various artistic skill . for example the using of language in this teledrama is different from the ordinary usage but it does not disturb the audience , \u201d he said .\n\u201cdooli pintharu is the fourth teledrama directed by liyanage who had won a number of tele awards both

monday .\n\u201cit\u2019s an illegal film which insults the security forces and the government of sri lanka , \u201d said lakshman hulugalla , director general of the government\u2019s media centre for national security .\nthe film , \u201cflying fish , \u201d was banned in sri lanka because the film\u2019s creators used images of the sri lankan military uniform without permission from the ministry of defense , said mr . hulugalla , adding that legal action will be taken against those involved in making the film .\nthe distribution and screening of the film has been stopped in sri lanka , he told reporters .\nthe film directed by sri lankan filmmaker sanjeewa pushpakumara had its world premiere in 2011 . the film weaves together three narratives set against the backdrop of the civil war that ended in 2009 when the government forces crushed the tamil tiger rebels , who were fighting for a separate state for ethnic minority tamils . the quarter - century - long civil war killed an estimated 80 , 000 to 100 , 000 people .\nboth the tamil tigers and government forces have been accused of war crimes during the fighting . a u . n . investigation showed that the ethnic sinhalese - dominated government might have killed as many as 40 , 000 tamil civilians in the war\u2019s final months .\nthe government denied that any civilian deaths occurred , but said it would investigate instances of alleged abuses identified by its own war inquiry . a sri lankan commission report , released in december 2011 , cleared the government forces of wrongdoing .\nthe government argues that its own investigation should suffice , but international pressure has been growing for an independent investigation into possible war crimes .\nin march , the u . n . human rights council approved a u

runner - up positions were won by hiranthi warusevitane and angela jayatissa respectively .\nit was a show that had its share of disappointments with organizing glitches , notably on the sound front marring the audience enjoyment . the evening began with a beautifully choreographed western dance act , the conclusion of which brought the contestants on stage for a brief first appearance . when they appeared on the catwalk for the second time flanked by the dazzling dancers of the channa and upuli troupe , the audience was able to have a closer look at the beauties , who were a picture of sophisticated glamour in saree .\nthe contestants returned from time to time in different attire - from saree to swim suits to evening wear - backed by song and dance items while the entertaining comperes too added their own bit of spice to the evening .\nthen it was time to announce the winners of the mini pageants which were held prior to the main event . stephanie siriwardhana was in for a

with their certificates , flowers and gift packs before they left the stage to the top five contestants hirunika eranjali , angela jayatissa , hiranthi warusevitane , noshin de silva and stephanie siriwardhana .\nthe question round took place next , handled by the five in a confident and intelligent manner for the most part . the panel of judges comprised managing director avirate arshad sattar , former miss sri lanka nushara atapattu , former miss sri lanka for miss universe jacqueline fernandez , ceo tnl radio network niraj wickremesinghe and former head of securities and exchange

once again to be crowned by the outgoing miss sri lanka ishanka madurasinghe amidst cheers and applause by the audience .\nwhile the show lacked for nothing by way of glamour , it dragged on for way

' s surprise presidential election defeat . his former foreign minister , gamini peiris , is considered a proxy at the head of the newly formed sri lanka people ' s party ( slpp ) . last month , rajapaksa dodged reporters ' questions about whether he was involved , but on monday peiris said it was the\nexpectation of the country at large\nthat the former president would give the party leadership . rajapaksa was sri lanka ' s leader for nine years from 2005 , building up immense power and popularity among the country ' s majority ethnic sinhalese after overseeing the military ' s brutal defeat of ethnic tamil rebels in 2009 to end a 25 - year civil war . but he was facing mounting criticism for failing to allow an investigation of alleged war crimes by the military , while also facing allegations of corruption and nepotism . in january 2015 he lost the presidential election to his former health minister , maithripala sirisena , who launched a last - minute campaign .

( ken macdonald ' s set , like panych ' s direction , is pretty but shadeless ; there are even two giant , indoor gargoyles unsubtly surveying the proceedings . )\npearl goes too far with her devil - may - care attitude this time , however , angering her friends and her lascivious sugar daddy , arthur fenwick , who is played for laughs that never come by a one - dimensional lorne kennedy . will she be able to right these relationships before they all return to london and her shame spreads ?\nit ' s hard to really care in this tension - free production . panych ' s approach doesn ' t convince that there is either enduring comedic or dramatic value in maugham ' s moralistic tale . paton ' s duchesse is ridiculous even in the moments when there is promising pathos to mine , while jullien plays pearl as a woman with no redemptive qualities whatsoever . the entertainment factor is minimal \u2013 though the dresses , designed by charlotte dean , are gorgeous .\nin a mildly misogynist way , maugham depicts these women who marry for titles as deplorable while painting the british male fortune - hunters as pleasant chaps . he also engages in plenty of what is called today slut - shaming .\nmaugham ' s message seems to be that everyone really ought to marry members of their own class and nationality , while his attitude toward the yanks vacillates unsophisticatedly between a distinct disgust for their lack of class and a romanticization of their apparently simple , industrious ways .\nwelcome to the globe and mail\u2019s comment community . this is a space where subscribers can engage with each other and globe staff . non -

act denouement notwithstanding , the play comes into its own in the final stretch , as maugham lays bare a house full of societal malcontents .\nthe double irony of the title turns out to have little to do with the triumph of american sincerity over the snobbery worshipped by the same idolaters ; instead , maugham was implying in the early decades of this century that the abiding virtues of \u201chonor , decency and self -

there\u2019s a particular lack of flash to von sternberg\u2019s tone .\nthunderbolt foolishly tries to rehabilitate its protagonist ( and inevitably , i suppose ) . it just goes about it in the worse way possible . it removes the agency from the character , making his salvation a passive event . instead of being interesting , it\u2019s de facto .\naccording to harold truscott , a focus on film reader from yorkshire , who saw both versions , the silent differed from the sound version by re - staging the positions of actors in certain scenes : \u201cbancroft\u2019s movements in the cell were different in the two films , he stood differently against the bars in the silent version . i should say , also , that the silent version was a good deal more powerful than the talkie . bancroft\u2019s work in the cell was tremendous , but it lost some of its power in the talkie . \u201d his comments are similar to comparisons made between silent and sound versions of alfred hitchcock\u2019s blackmail ( 1929 ) . see focus on film no . 5 , 1970 , p . 16 .\ntony williams is professor and area head of film studies in the department of english at southern illinois university , carbondale . a frequent contributor to cteq annotations on film , he has recently published the second edition of larry cohen : the radical allegories of an american filmmaker . the second edition of hearths of darkness : the family in the american horror film is scheduled for december 2014 . the second edition of the cinema of george romero and an edited collection of essays , postcolonialism , diaspora , and alternative histories : the cinema of evans chan , will appear in 2015 .\njosef von sternberg , one of the few internationally admired american directors , achieved his greatest success with his one german film . sternberg emigrated to the u . s . from austria in 1908 , and after a decade of apprenticeship in the film industry during which the \u201cvon\u201d was added to his name by an image - minded producer , he gained wide critical acclaim with his first directorial effort ,\nstatic but superb gangster film - it was von sternberg ' s first talkie . before the director found a muse in marlene dietrich he made three superb films with burly george bancroft who here plays the notorious gangster , thunderbolt . the film is a love triangle between the gangster , his moll ( fay wray ) and the young man ( richard arlen ) she is in love with . caught and imprisoned he frames her lover on a bank robbery charge and both men get to face each other in cells . superbly acted by bancroft who predictably plays it tough but shows the man ' s vulnerable side in his interactions with the girl , a dog and the mother of his rival . he has\u2026\ni\u2019m not convinced that the film is quite the masterpiece that some claim , but it is a major item in powell\u2019s oeuvre nonetheless , and i felt privileged to have seen it in ideal conditions .\nthe second half of the film , with bancroft on death row , is where thunderbolt starts to pick up . the character\u2013going into the second half\u2013is already supposed to be somewhat endearing , because he cared for a stray instead of promptly murdering arlen ( and , presumably , besserer ) . the second half doesn\u2019t try to rehabilitate him . instead , it\u2019s a goofy prison movie with bancroft as the gangster ( who we never actually see commit any crimes in the running time ) . there\u2019s some decent stuff , a few good scenes here and there ; really , it\u2019s about bancroft all of a sudden becoming the film\u2019s lead . his performance is occasionally shaky , but it doesn\u2019t matter . he commands the screen .\nproof that for a few brief moments after the sound cinema singularity , it was possible for anti - naturalism to exist . the best film of the 1920s is a talkie . death to silent cinema !\nron mottram , \u201camerican sound films , 1926 - 1930\u201d , film sound : theory and practice , p . 226 . he also notes the use of space in the death row sequence , dividing the cells with off - screen voices of prisoners from the unified world of the prison separated from the outside world . neither camera mobility nor creative use of mise en sc\u00e8ne are absent from this early sound film .\n, had elevated expressionism to the sound film and opened up new possibilities for its presentation . however , only von sternberg , and later orson welles , had the technical virtuosity and artistic integrity to continue the\nthe film is also interesting visually . with its use of high contrast black and white photography and omnipresent shadows , the film presages the film noir thriller . the one sequence of particular interest is the one in which the principal baddie , lang , ascends the staircase to confront his rival . the noirish lighting transforms the staircase into a spider ' s web in which lang becomes enmeshed and incapable of carrying out his deadly plan . the same visual motif recurs in the prison scenes , but this time lang and his rival are both caught , like flies in a spider ' s web , awaiting a cruel end .\nmetropolis has been reconstructed many times since the 1960s . in 2001 , the murnau foundation presented a digital restoration of the film supervised by martin koerber in collaboration with enno patalas . in this version , which is available on dvd ( transit film , kino international ) about 30 minutes of the original material are missing . in 2003 - 2005 enno patalas and anna bohn together with a team at the university of the arts in berlin created a \u201cstudy edition\u201d version in which the missing footage was represented by bits of gray leader . for the first time the full length of the film was reconstructed with help from the the original music score .\nthe expressionistic , shadow - laden environments are beautifully atmospheric , especially the decadent atmosphere of the cabaret stage and dressing rooms . these are meticulously crafted frames that achieve visual depth by shooting highlighted and backlit subjects through shadowy foreground scenery . the expressionist visuals are so dramatically well presented that the film can be pretty well understood without any semantic input from the sound track . in fact it may be better to watch the film without subtitles enabled .\nin\nthunderbolt ,\nan audible production featuring george bancroft , there is a queer idea of humor , that of portraying what the producers esteem to be the lighter side of the death cell . the greater part of this production is of scenes in an aisle of barred cells , with a privileged . . . view full article in timesmachine \u00bb\nthe film was shot cheaply in a salzburg studio , using garish , modernist settings against black backgrounds . these create a labyrinthine , floating space that avoids seeming stage - bound . ( hein heckroth , the production designer , had previously worked on several powell films , including the red shoes and the tales of hoffman . ) i was reminded of hans - j\u00fcrgen syberberg\u2019s parsifal ( 1982 ) , which looks somewhat less original in the light of powell\u2019s film .\nthe print shown was a privately held technicolor original from the era , in nearly mint condition . ( the british film institute has a print as well . ) the sparse subtitles written by powell himself were added for this screening .\n, which was released in german and english language versions and which ranks with the greatest films of all time . the film marked a transition for von sternberg from his earlier harsh realism to his subsequent baudelairian obsession with feminine ambiguity and erotic v\ni ' m not as crazy about the beginning of this film ( though , as one can expect , the scene in the speakeasy is as good as they come in sternberg ) , but once it reaches the jail cell , thunderbolt instantly becomes top tier . this is perhaps the most literal of the films i ' ve seen from sternberg so far , insofar as the metaphorical cage that houses the characters ' fragile , complicated sense of masculinity becomes material for the majority of the picture . it ' s a shame that sternberg and bancroft only did three films together ; they seem like a match made in cinematic heaven\nstill stands today as one of the stellar expressions in film history . the story charts the tragic downfall of an older german professor as a result of his ruinous infatuation with a lower class cabaret singer . the novel on which the script is based ,\nwriting a few months after the director\u2019s death , she praises andrew sarris for re - evaluating the non - dietrich films but added that further reassessment suffers from the vagaries of distribution especially concerning access to the director\u2019s first sound film then released on 16mm . despite gaylyn studlar\u2019s examination of the von sternberg - dietrich collaboration , few detailed explorations exist of the director\u2019s other films ( 2 ) . good copies of thunderbolt can be found only in the u . c . l . a . and m . o . m . a archives , while poor quality bootleg copies circulate on dvd and vhs . the silent version , made for general release in cinemas not equipped for sound , is unobtainable ( 3 ) .\n( sometimes with only gray leader onscreen ) . the editors determined the duration of each scene by a critical comparison of the remaining film materials with the music score and other source materials . this dvd edition was released in a limited edition available to educational and research facilities . for information see\n) . this scrupulous version includes the original score , a lot of production material , and the complete script by thea von harbou . it\u2019s a model of how digital formats can assist documentation of film history . the dvd incorporates production stills and intertitles from the missing scenes , and presents each scene\nthe following day was the formal ceremony : thomas\u2019 farewell speech in the university auditorium , a converted chapel . thomas and other professors , garbed in robes and caps , filed in and thomas took the floor to present his talk , \u201cof feedback and phasmids : a farewell to film studies . \u201d he offered both an oblique account of his institutional political battles and a broader account of trends in film theory across the last three decades . he wove clips from master and commander into his talk , which sometimes bolstered a comparison between his tough - minded handling of the program and captain jack\u2019s nautical tactics .\nthunderbolt was josef von sternberg ' s first american talking picture . george bancroft , a von sternberg regular ( despite frequents clashes between the two men ) , plays a death row inmate who may be on the eve of eternity , but who has still one more murder on his mind . he plans to kill the young lover ( richard arlen ) of his former girl friend ( fay wray ) ; fortuitously the lover is incarcerated in the same prison where bancroft awaits the chair .\nvon sternberg regarded the arrival of sound technology as challenging . he also saw it as another way to stimulate audience imagination : \u201cto be correctly and effectively used , sound had to bring to the image a quality other than what the lens included , a quality out of the range of the image . sound had to counterpoint or compensate the image , add to it \u2013 not subtract from it . \u201d ( 5 ) his attempt to put sound in its appropriate relationship to the image remained unnoticed except by his fellow director ludwig berger who congratulated von sternberg on making \u201cthe first rounded out and artistically elaborated sound film\u201d ( 6 ) . thunderbolt does have its share of stilted dialogue and problems associated with the new technology . but these minor flaws should not prevent modern viewers from appreciating the innovative nature of the creative solutions von sternberg used for this new form ( 7 ) .\n, a violent attack on imperial germany , written in 1905 by heinrich mann ( brother of thomas mann ) . von sternberg was to make vast alterations translating the novel , which had been an old abandoned project of g . w . pabst , to the screen , including the elimination of the last third of the novel . later when there was public criticism for those changes ( in germany ) and when , for complex political reason , ufa tried to dissociate its film from the radical leftist , mann , the author replied simply , \u201chad i been more mature ( when i wrote it ) , i would have developed the character of professor unrath more humanly , as in the film . \u201d\nthe dog outwits the kidnappers at first appears to be a sort of sequel ( as it is described in the program ) , since it stars the same dog ( blair ) who had played rover , and again there is a kidnapped baby . it\u2019s not really a sequel , though , since cecil hepworth , who had played the father in the earlier film , here appears as the kidnapper , and the dog is not named rover . the new film is more fantastical than the original , since the dog races after the car in which the child is abducted and rather than fetching its master , effects the rescue itself by driving the car back home when the villain leaves his victim unattended !\nisual imagery . what causes this film to transcend the trivial genre of bourgeois male corrupted by bohemian female is the subtly conceived role of lola - lola . . the directness of dietrich , contrasting well with the elaborateness of jannings , established the ground for her magnetic appeal . her impassive , even sometimes sympathetic , innocence renders the fate of the professor into true tragedy .\nit was a terrific two days for us , not least for witnessing the great admiration and devotion that his colleagues and students displayed . they even edited , in secret , a book in homage to him ( left ) . thomas has not only reshaped our sense of how film works , but his dedication to media education has created a generation of lively and original young scholars .\nthere were plenty of other revelations . we got the reconstructed prite ( was it the first really modern soviet film ? ) , a bit of an original kuleshov experiment in constructive editing , and a tantalizing fragment from the female journalist ( 1927 ) , with a surprisingly pensive hohlova as a modern - day reporter . sasha ( 1930 ) , directed by hohlova herself , was a sympathetic portrait of a pregnant woman . an educational film called forty hearts ( 1930 ) explained the need to electrify the soviet countryside and was brightened by faux - na\u00efve animation . timur and his crew ( 1942 ) , with some of the charm of a nancy drew movie , showed young pioneers helping on the home front ; it unexpectedly centered on a girl\u2019s devotion to her military father .\nin the 1960s and 1970s , it was common to say that eisenstein and vertov were the most experimental soviet directors , while the others were more conventional . then we realized that in films like arsenal ( 1928 ) , dovzhenko had his own wild ways . then we discovered the feks team , kozintsev and trauberg , and the bold montage of the new babylon ( 1929 ) . a closer look at pudovkin , particularly his early sound films like a simple case ( 1932 ) and deserter ( 1933 ) , revealed that he too was no timid soul when it came to daring cutting and image / sound juxtapositions . but surely their mentor kuleshov , admirer of hollywood continuity and proponent of the simplest sorts of constructive editing , played things safe ?\ncast : george bancroft [ \u2018thunderbolt\u2019 jim lang ] , fay wray [ \u2018ritzy\u2019 mary ] , richard arlen [ bob morgan ] , tully marshall [ the warden ] , eugenie besserer [ mrs . morgan ] , james spottswood [ snapper o\u2019shea ] , fred kohler [ \u2018bad\u2019 al friedberg ] , mike donlin [ kentucky sampson ] , e . h . calvert [ district attorney mckay ] , george irving [ mr . corwin ] , robert elliott [ the prison chaplain ] , s . s . stewart [ negro convict ] , william l . thorne [ police inspector ] , elmer ballard , king tut\nthe film belongs to the late period of powell\u2019s career , after the controversial peeping tom had made it impossible for him to work within the mainstream film industry . it was produced by norman foster \u2014though not the norman foster who directed journey into fear and several of the charlie chan and mr . moto films . this norman foster was an opera singer whose stage career was cut short by a dispute with herbert von karajan . his widow , sybille nabel - foster , explained this and described how foster produced and starred in two television adaptations , herzog blaubarts burg and die lustigen weiber von windsor ( 1966 ) . foster had originally approached ingmar bergman to direct the former , but when that proved impossible , powell stepped in\u2014and probably a good thing , too . it was definitely his kind of project .\nthomas is also an old friend , a big influence on our work ever since his days at brighton film review and monogram , and a generous host when we were visiting london in the 1970s and early 1980s to work on our book , the classical hollywood cinema . he kindly published kristin\u2019s lubitsch book in the amsterdam series . i wrote a little tribute essay for his sixtieth birthday festschrift , available in english here .\ncritical comment on the film is frequently divided between its so - called dream - like nature and its sordid realism . what is actually achieved is a brilliant synthesis of expressionism and artistic detail to bring about a realism of the imagination of memory . the expressive power arising from von sternberg\u2019s control of the cinematic environment to its last detail results in effects even more strongly felt than those of pabst . siegfried kracauer , commenting on\nboth jannings and dietrich give superb performances . jannings\u2019s highly gestural presentation , derived from his silent movie experience , leads effectively to the dramatic gestures of the clown in the final scenes . dietrich\u2019s performance , by contrast , is a brilliantly natural presentation of the reflexively amoral and passionate aesthete . he embodies the neuroses of civilisation ; she represents the innocence of the pagan . there is nothing cruel about lola - lola , but she can\u2019t help being who she is and she embodies her own signature song : \u201cfalling in love again\u201d . this first sound - film performance of dietrich was never surpassed for its mixture of uncompromising and unfathomable femininity . overall , the dialogue and character attitudes are , despite the expressionistic tones in the film , very natural \u2013 they reflect an openness in the filmmaking of those days that would soon be curtailed by the hays code .\nthe melodrama soon kicks in ( bancroft , from prison , frames arlen and arlen ends up on death row and there\u2019s conflict ) and the film can\u2019t narratively recover from it . there are still some decent scenes , some excellent shots from von sternberg , and bancroft maintains . arlen , on the other hand , is silly and awful . it\u2019s a bit of a surprise too , because he was fine during the first half .\nkt : one of the high points of the week for me was michael powell\u2019s 1964 film of b\u00e9la bart\u00f3k\u2019s short opera bluebeard\u2019s castle . it was made for german television and shown in bologna as herzog blaubarts burg . unfortunately it was programmed opposite the screening of fragments from kuleshov\u2019s gay canary , but powell\u2019s post - peeping tom films are so difficult to see that i made the difficult choice and gave up hope of seeing the entire kuleshov retrospective .\nin 1991 thomas left the university of east anglia to form a film department at the university of amsterdam . many members of the university looked askance at the study of cinema , but he grew his program spectacularly . a department with scarcely half a dozen faculty members expanded to sixty staff members and 1400 students . the range of study is now immense , from classical cinema and dutch moviegoing in the silent era to theorizing about contemporary digital media .\nas nabel - foster explained , after its initial screening on german television , herzog blaubarts burg has been shown seldom because of rights complications with the bart\u00f3k estate . non - commercial screenings have occurred on public television in the u . s . and australia , but basically the film is off - limits until the copyright expires in 2015 , seventy years after the composer\u2019s death . nabel - foster has been providently preparing for a dvd release , gathering the original materials .\njosef von sternberg has suffered perhaps more than any other director from the vagaries of film criticism ; on the one hand he has been seen as a mannered , self - indulgent stylist with a trivial and dehumanized vision of the world , and on the other as a cult figure largely associated with the mystique of marlene dietrich , with whom he made seven films , beginning in the blue angel in 1930 and ending with the devil is a woman in 1935 . ( 1 )\na viewing copy will not be forthcoming immediately , given the restoration task , but sooner or later we will have a good approximation of the fullest version of one of the half - dozen most famous silent movies . getting news like this while among archive professionals is one of the unique pleasures of cinema ritrovato . ( special thanks to dr . bohn for clarification on several points and to enterprising film historian casper tybjerg , who helped me get a copy of the die zeit issue . )\nalthough lucy fischer notes that directors such as von sternberg often used sound with \u201cless auditory sensitivity\u201d in shutting off sound when \u201ccharacters moved from one space to another\u201d , she loses sight of the fact that this may involve the deliberate elimination of off - screen sound to increase tension . fischer , \u201c applause : the visual and acoustic landscape\u201d , film sound : theory and practice , p . 239 . hitchcock uses the same technique when alice enters the phone booth in the sound version of blackmail .\none of the biggest surprises was news of dokhunda ( 1936 ) , an ethnographically based fiction set in tazhikistan . although the film is lost , nikolai has reconstructed its plan , revealing that kuleshov adopted a strange preproduction method . he prepared \u201cliving storyboards , \u201d photos of the cast enacting the scenes . he then drew and scratched on them , creating busy , nervous backgrounds or changing the figures\u2019 features and hair styles\u2014kuleshov as pre - warhol scribbler , or a graffiti artist tagging his own images .\nthere looks to be no world outside of the moment and bancroft is usually at the forefront of this . von sterberg subverts sentimental motifs which , alongside the irony , seems so strangely out of place for a film that came out in the sound - period of the 20 ' s . music and dialogue acts in unity with one another working intangibly to exemplify emotions . every aspect compliments and brings the elements together . fuck , this is perfect , i ' m at a loss for words .\nthe interaction of the body with props occurs with a special flair in young partisans . a bolshevik partisan tells some children how a boy saved his life in a german - occupied town ( this flashback was directed by igor savchenko and functions as a short film on its own . ) having learned their lesson , the kids gather in their schoolroom and under the teacher\u2019s eye draw a map of the partisans\u2019 camp . but when nazi soldiers burst in , the teacher flips the blackboard over ; now all we see is algebra .\nnikolai has also finished a dvd edition of prite that exemplifies what he calls hyperkino , a way of annotating and comparing a film\u2019s images , texts , and supplementary materials for instant access . another project involves the yevgenii bauer classic , the king of paris ( 1917 ) , which kuleshov completed . we haven\u2019t had the intertitles for this , however , but now nikolai has discovered them , and they will go on the dvd version that is being completed . for more information on these projects and dokhunda , go to urltoken .\nwrong again . just as we must reevaluate the other master soviet directors ( even in their purportedly safe stalinist projects ) , so too does kuleshov deserve a fresh look . he got this thanks to yuri tsivian , who with the help of ekatarina hohlova ( right ; granddaughter of kuleshov and his main actress aleksandra hohlova ) and nikolai izvolov , mounted a superb retrospective . it ranged from kuleshov\u2019s first solo effort , engineer prite\u2019s project ( 1918 ) to his final film , the short feature young partisans ( 1942 - 3 , never released ) .\nkt : there were several programs of silent shorts , which i could only sample , as they tended to play opposite the kuleshov films . as usual , the bologna program included selections of short films from 100 years ago , so we were treated to numerous films from 1908 . i was particularly pleased to see the dog outwits the kidnappers , directed by lewin fitzhamon , who had made rescued by rover two years earlier . that film had been so fabulously successful that it had actually been shot three times as the negatives wore out from the striking of huge numbers of release prints .\n( 1930 ) , his most famous film , director josef von sternberg came to grips with the challenges of early sound cinema with this offbeat gangster melodrama . the problems posed by the early sound recording equipment defeated many a filmmaker in the late 20s , early 30s , but von sternberg fully embraced the opportunities afforded by this new cinematic development to enhance the movie - going experience . the sound highlights include a scene in a busy harlem nightspot , in which swinging cabaret numbers add greatly to the seedy atmosphere , and the later sequences in the prison , where convicts sing in chorus to counterpoint the horror of their predicament .\nthe great consoler reminds us of the popularity of o . henry in the soviet union , both among readers and the russian formalist literary theorists , who were fascinated by his flagrant , playful artifice . ( boris eikhenbaum\u2019s essay on the writer is one of the most brilliant pieces of literary analysis i know . ) even though kuleshov must denounce porter for reconciling the masses to their misery under capitalism , the zest of the embedded film and the unique architecture of the overall project pay tribute to another entertainer who did not forgo experimentation . and kuleshov\u2019s image of a writer in prison probably had aesopian significance for artists in the era of socialist realism .\nkuleshov , like eisenstein , gained his fame for his ideas on editing and sound montage , but both men were deeply interested in performance . kuleshov\u2019s idea that the film actor should become an angular mannequin carries on the impulse of meyerhold\u2019s biomechanics , and he anticipated cgi software in suggesting that human action could be plotted on a three - dimensional grid . still , kuleshov usually gives his figures a fluid dynamism that doesn\u2019t seem mechanical . the three narrative registers of the great consoler are delineated largely through acting : naturalistic and slowly paced in the prison scenes , rigid and posed in the shopgirl romance , and broad and eccentric in the embedded silent movie .\nicknamed thunderbolt , jim lang is a hardened gangster who is hotly pursued by the police for a series of crimes that include robbery and murder . he risks capture by confronting his girlfriend ritzy in a harlem nightclub . she has made up her mind to leave him , but he has no intention of letting her go . when he learns that ritzy has moved in with her new boyfriend , a respectable young man named bob morgan , lang decides to settle the matter man - to - man with his rival . before he can reach bob ' s apartment , the crook is caught by the police and soon ends up on death - row , having been convicted of murder . lang ' s cronies successfully frame bob for an armed bank robbery and it isn ' t long before bob is occupying a cell opposite lang ' s . ritzy pleads with lang to confess to having framed bob so that he can evade the electric chair . lang is unrepentant and relishes the fact that his rival will share the same fate as him . . .\na pressbook for this film calls it\na story of a hard - fighting man who lives outside the law in the hidden places of the negro district .\nquoting director josef von sternberg on casting for the harlem scenes , the pressbook continues ,\nwe were fortunate that los angeles has a miniature harlem of its own in its central avenue district . a thorough search gave us scores of negroes who have really lived in harlem . harlem , which extends from 125th to 140th streets , new york , brings heart - beats of southern plantations to metropolitan civilization . sensation - seeking broadwayites make these cafs possible , coming to dance shoulder - to - shoulder with habitues of this black metropolis to the beat of staccato jazz .\nreferences : afi - f2 n . f2 . 5703 ; everson - detective p . 110 ; katchmer - eighty pp . 10 , 12 ; limbacher - feature p . 251 ; parish - gangster pp . 33 , 392 - 393 , 400 ; ryall - blackmail p . 10 ; sarris - sternberg pp . 8 , 16 , 23 - 24 ; sklar - movie p . 179 ; vermilye - twenties p . 186 : website - afi ; website - imdb .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\njermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ?

piero ringel they decided to option the script and to start its development already during the postproduction on \u201cpina\u201c .\nsince the script was written by the norwegian bjorn olaf johannessen , one suspects the answer is that it\u2019s actually norway , but the film , a five - way co - pro shot in quebec and norway , brings out the cultural nationalist in me . i don\u2019t think canada is a better place than anywhere else , i just think it is a place . every thing will be fine is located in some 3 - d la - la land .\n\u201cand i cast rachel mcadams because of that incredibly positive energy that she exudes in every role . \u201d\nlondon \u2014 james franco has boarded wim wenders\u2019 3d pic \u201ceverything will be fine . \u201d franco will play tomas , a writer who accidentally causes the death of a child and spends the next 12 years examining the effect of the tragedy on his life and that of kate , the child\u2019s mother . wenders said the film was [ \u2026 ]\nthe film will be released in germany and canada in 2014 , via warner bros . and mongrel media , respectively ; no word yet on a stateside release .\nthe 3d drama will make its north american premiere at the toronto international film festival in the masters section . ifc films will release the film on dec . 4 .\nso perhaps every thing will be fine is supposed to be the director\u2019s back - to - basics movie , putting him in the mode of the \u201950s hollywood dramas ( see : alexandre desplat\u2019s throwback score ) that haunted his early german films like dreams\u2014and maybe wenders has just depleted whatever basics he could go back to . there are exactly two interesting things about every thing will be fine . the first is the use of 3 - d as a stand - in for the rapturous use of color in classic melodramas ; it works for the first 10 or so minutes , which are set in the dead of winter . then the viewer realizes that all of the ideas wenders has cooked up for 3 - d involve falling snow , and that the rest of the movie is set in the spring , summer , and fall seasons of an 11 - year period , and mostly consists of awkwardly staged conversations with a 2 - to - 1 ratio of heavy pauses to actual dialogue , occasionally spruced up with a reflection or a barely motivated vertigo - style dolly - zoom .\nthis would be an easy film to mock . johannessen\u2019s script is often leaden while wenders\u2019s style is unfashionably unflashy , the pace only just this side of ponderous . but the picture has sincerity on its side , as well as the nagging eeriness of a score ( by alexandre desplat ) that verges on the herrmann - esque . and while it\u2019s tasteful , even unadventurous , every thing will be fine isn\u2019t too timid to address the restorative effect of trauma on creativity . \u201cyour books from before the accident weren\u2019t as good , \u201d someone tells tomas in one of several authentic \u201couch\u201d moments .\ntomas eldan , the canadian novelist played by james franco in wim wenders\u2019 lame 3 - d melodrama every thing will be fine , always looks like he\u2019s ready to zonk out for a nap . as a matter of fact , he\u2019s introduced waking up from one , in an ice shack that doubles as his writing room , and he moves through every subsequent scene as though he were searching for a light switch on the way to the bathroom . is it too perfect that when the movie finally perks up , which is in its last 20 or so minutes , it\u2019s in a scene where tomas drinks a cup of coffee ? or that its muffled climax has him discovering that an intruder has pissed all over his bed ? every thing will be fine , ostensibly about a writer who realizes his dreams on the back of someone else\u2019s nightmare , resembles nothing more than the story of one man\u2019s decade - long quest to get some quality zzzz s . it probably couldn\u2019t ask for a more fitting star than franco , who has eyes like the headlamps of a beat - up old corvette stingray , stuck halfway between open and closed .\nthis is all pitched in a very earnest key , but it\u2019s not necessarily rooted in reality \u2014 or so i like to think . if the case should be otherwise , every thing will be fine is as lugubrious as that space separating the first two words of its title . as one who feels little excuse to defend wenders , however \u2014 e . g . his sincere , meant - to - be - awe - inspiring until the end of the world is far and away the best \u201ccomedy\u201d i\u2019ve seen in theaters this year \u2014 i say with no small amount of confidence that this , however clunky , is ( mostly ) meant to be taken much in the same way we should process douglas sirk or nicholas ray . change the muted blues and greys to bright reds and yellows , and the continuation of a tradition might be clearer .\nit\u2019s possible that \u201cevery thing will be fine\u201d is understated to a fault , that excavating its deeper meanings is deliberately impeded rather than enabled by its gently casual vibe . a laughably wooden leading turn from franco isn\u2019t anything to voice disappointment in these days , but the extent to which his monotonous laziness infects the rest of the picture suggests catastrophically low expectations on his director\u2019s part . indeed , while the measure of a filmmaker can often be the performances she elicits from younger cast members , it has to be said here that those by robert naylor as 17 - year - old christopher and lilah fitzgerald as ann\u2019s daughter mina are shockingly flat \u2014 was it that uninspiring to perform opposite franco ?\nafter he completed pina , his much lauded 3 - d documentary about choreographer pina bausch , german director wim wenders became a vocal defender of the technology , arguing it could revolutionize an intimate drama as much as it had a dance film . and so , we are treated to the bizarre international co - production every thing will be fine , a small but taut drama in which the beautiful physical details jumping off the screen only serve to emphasize an ill - defined setting and major insufficiencies in the script and performances .\nthere aren ' t any reviews yet . be the first to review this title .\nevery thing will be fine , based on an original script by the norwegian bj\u00f8rn olaf johannessen , tells the story of tomas ( james franco ) , a writer who loses control of his life after a car accident . even though he is not directly at fault , his relationship with his girlfriend breaks down because of this event and his life and work suddenly set off in a completely new direction . the film follows tomas over a period of 12 years and tells an intimate story of guilt and the search for forgiveness .\n\u201cevery thing will be fine\u201d is far from a perfect film . but wenders is trying to do new things within the confines of a pretty standard european art - film scenario , and the viewer can see he\u2019s not approaching the material as though it\u2019s rote ; he\u2019s really trying to use the camera to get through the feelings of loss the characters suffer . wenders is also the author of a book of essays called \u201cemotion pictures , \u201d and he once again brings some honor to that concept with this flawed but intriguing work .\n\u201cwe can only try to believe that there\u2019s meaning to this , \u201d murmurs charlotte gainsbourg midway through \u201cevery thing will be fine\u201d \u2014 voicing viewers\u2019 thoughts for the first and only time in wim wenders \u2019 labored , lumbering melodrama . an inglorious return to narrative filmmaking for the german master , this protracted study in grief and forgiveness does little to suggest his time hasn\u2019t been better spent making documentaries for the past seven years . imprisoning james franco in the role of an emotionally constipated writer taking 10 years to process a fatal car accident , \u201cfine\u201d is unlikely to arouse much empathy from auds , who may instead spend most of the running time wondering why wenders chose to dramatize these dingy proceedings in advanced 3d . despite this arthouse novelty and a name cast , the conviction of the title will not be shared by distributors .\nevery thing will be fine is wenders ' first fiction film in a decade ; even if it is a failed experiment , he is at least striking out into new territory . the fact that other serious film - makers have largely avoided 3d frustrates him .\nwhen we started to prepare this film four years ago , i was convinced it was going to be one of many by the time it came out ,\nhe says .\ni was convinced . maybe it is the bad reputation 3d gathered , all those roller - coaster effects , so they think ' oh , it ' s going to ruin my story because everybody thinks this will be an effects - driven movie ' .\nbut this , he believes , is the future . we just have to learn to work with it .\ngian -

piero ringel will produce the 3d movie through his and wenders\u2019 production banner neue road movies .\nset in quebec , every thing will be fine starts with an accident , in which tomas\u2019 wood - paneled jeep wagoneer strikes and kills a toddler on a snowy rural road . in the years that follow , he goes through the usual stages of burnout protagonism ( including the most important one : holing up in a motel room full of empty liquor bottles ) , eventually emerging as the acclaimed author of this is a room and assorted other books whose titles and covers resemble the lit - fic parodies from listen up philip . finally , just as tomas has settled into a cozy life with a family of his own in , yes , a glass house , the now - teenage brother of the boy shows up to collect what\u2019s due , accusing him of using a tragedy in which he played a brief but pivotal role for a bookshelf\u2019s worth of creative inspiration , pinpointing how even seemingly innocuous passages in tomas\u2019 fiction trace back to that fateful evening . at this point , a reader might think that all of this sounds like a decent set - up for , say , an arthouse suspense flick about bourgeois mores , \u00e0 la michael haneke . it is , but every thing will be fine isn\u2019t that film .\nevery thing will be fine is the story of the author tomas eldan . one day a car accident transforms his life . even though he is not directly to blame for this tragedy , it still causes his relationship with his girlfriend to break apart . tomas falls into a deep hole . he seeks retreat in his writing and tries to start his own family with a new love . the film looks at tomas\u2019 attempt to give his life meaning again and recounts his search for forgiveness . it is not time alone that heals wounds but the courage to face up to things and to forgive . especially oneself .\nwenders is keeping details of everything will be fine under wraps , but the plot - - from a script by norwegian screenwriter bj\u00f8rn olaf johannessen - - is believed to focus on a german magician who disappears in the wilds of rural norway . gian - piero ringel , who produced wenders\u2019 3d dance documentary pina , is also on board .\nin the 3d film , the actor will play a writer who accidentally causes the death of a child .\n\u201cevery thing will be fine\u201d unfolds by means of an elliptical timeframe ; frequent fades conclude scenes at incongruous junctures ; dialogue exchanges seem designed primarily to retain an opaque air rather than further character . on a better day this might have recalled atom egoyan at his peak \u2014 the wintry setting and the latent traumas sparked by an extraordinary incident certainly bring \u201cthe sweet hereafter\u201d to mind . but the creative choices of wenders and co . have resulted here in a work that sadly invites derision . guffaws rang out at several points in the first press screening at the berlin international film festival , which also concluded with a damningly tokenistic applause .\ndirected by wim wenders , with james franco , marie - jos\u00e9e croze , rachel mcadams and charlotte gainsbourg . every thing will be fine , based on an original script by the norwegian bj\u00f8rn olaf johannessen , tells the story of tomas ( james franco ) , a writer who loses control of his life after a car accident . even though he is not directly at fault , his relationship with his girlfriend breaks down because of this event and his life and work suddenly set off in a completely new direction . the film follows tomas over a period of 12 years and tells an intimate story of guilt and the search for forgiveness .\ncoming from many other veteran auteurs , a film as tone - deaf and structurally haphazard as \u201cevery thing will be fine\u201d \u2014 no explanation is given , incidentally , for the title\u2019s irksome spacing \u2014 would sound an alarming career alert . coming from wenders , freshly oscar - nominated for his gleaming , gorgeous sebastiao salgado tribute \u201cthe salt of the earth , \u201d this unfortunate diversion merely suggests that the creative instincts and impulses that once yielded the marvelous likes of \u201cparis , texas\u201d and \u201cwings of desire\u201d have shifted permanently to the realm of nonfiction ; after all , 2008\u2019s oddly conceived meta -

hundred percent sincere filmmaker , whether creating such acute stories of existential anxiety as \u201c the american friend , \u201d luminous , mysticism - laden parables of love like \u201c wings of desire , \u201d or atrociously soft - headed meditations on being a man out of time , as in his dire 2008 \u201cpalermo shooting , \u201d his most recent fiction feature and not a particularly good omen for this one .\nof course ! tragedy is a catharsis , it\u2019s like the big bang for me . every tragedy brings you something positive . the opposite of life is stillness , so tragedy also means life for me . human beings are always afraid of what will change and what will be different . painful moments in our lives bring us more strength and knowledge , and , sometimes , we decide to change our ways because of something that feels like a tragedy . change is life , so i\u2019m not afraid of changing .\nbased on an original script by norwegian bj\u00f8rn olaf johannessen , wim wenders tells the story of the author tomas ( james franco ) in every thing will be fine . one day a car accident transforms his life . even though he is not directly to blame for this tragedy , it still causes his relationship with his girlfriend to break apart . tomas falls into a deep hole . he seeks retreat in his writing and tries to start his own family with a new love . the film looks at tomas\u2019 attempt to give his life meaning again and recounts his search for forgiveness . it is not time alone that heals wounds but the courage to face up to things and to forgive . especially oneself .\nit is fair to say that every thing will be fine was not well received , even in wenders ' home town . he says he was attracted to the script by bjorn olaf johannessen\u200b \u2013 it was originally set in johannessen ' s native norway , but is now relocated to quebec \u2013 because he liked its narrative construction . slices of story , played out in roughly real time , are cut from a time frame spanning 14 years ; it is up to the viewer to guess what has happened in between . critics and audiences found these plot omissions , oddly timed fades and opaque dialogue frustrating at best , laughable at worst . even the all - star cast was seen as collectively working below par .\ntomas\u2019 situation worsens considerably when , driving in a blinding blizzard , he runs over the young son of illustrator and single mother kate ( charlotte gainsbourg ) , at least managing to save the boy\u2019s older brother christopher ( jack fulton ) . kate , a melancholic , god - fearing soul , is distraught but ultimately bears her son\u2019s accidental killer no ill will ; tomas , on the other hand , finds it harder to forgive himself , leaving sara and going into a psychological tailspin that culminates in an idle suicide attempt . thus is the stage set for a decade - spanning survey of emotional catharsis and self - confrontation , effectively dropping in on tomas every few years to check if everything ( or , indeed , every thing ) is fine yet .\nmcadams will take the role of franco\u2019s writer character\u2019s girlfriend , a role which once had director -

director omnibus cathedrals of culture last year . perhaps no one outside of james cameron has intuited the potential of 3d as well as the german director , and it was high time to try out these technical advances in a piece of dramatic fiction . but unfortunately , the awkwardly titled every thing will be fine seems more like a showcase for expressive camerawork pushing the limits of cinematography than anything else . actors the caliber of james franco and charlotte gainsbourg get the short end of the stick in this angst - ridden drama about a writer who is tormented by the accidental death of a child . there is dramatic tension here , but all things considered , this ranks as a puzzling failure .\nin the past decade , the director of the\nbuena vista social club\nrather focused on making documentary films , the most recent one being\nthe salt of the earth .\nnow wim wenders is back with a new fiction film , and his fans will be delighted .\nperhaps the most incongruous scene of all , though , is that in which tomas walks mina home from school one day , along a rural river path . their conversation revolves around a word tomas had brought to mina\u2019s attention at an earlier point that is overused and literally meaningless in everyday conversation . on first inspection that word seems to be \u201clike , \u201d for mina seems to make a point of , like , saying it as often as she , like , can . but upon reflection , the word could also be \u201cfine\u201d \u2014 the go - to adjective that encompasses all our emotional states , whether fraught , joyous or even bereft . indeed , a fine film !\n\u201ci chose the actors for being able to play their parts in an utterly minimalistic way , \u201d he said . \u201ci knew the 3d cameras would see every little exaggeration , and that they would see more than any camera ever before . so these actors had to become these people . they weren\u2019t allowed to play them \u2014 they had to be them .\npoetic feature films like\nwings of desire\nand\nparis , texas\nare on every film student ' s must - see list and established wim wenders as one of the greats of cinema .\nwim wenders loves montreal . if our city had its own equivalent of the i ( heart ) ny t - shirt , he would be rocking it .\nthat notion might make you gag , and could have very well soured the project much further if every thing will be fine wasn\u2019t so consistency a pleasure to observe . it would stand as a well - measured work of directing in two dimensions \u2014 the recurring assemblage of shots and cuts to build tension , dread , and portent , and the ability to separate those close - but - distinct feelings , is terrific in and of itself \u2014 but the union of wenders , cinematographer beno\u00eet debe , and stereographer jos\u00e9phine derobe produces images that range from accomplished ( speaking for the most essential aspects of image - making ) to outright beautiful . the 3d is impressive as a showcase , more so as a supplement to drama : the way it brings so many of the close - ups into an almost - direct contact ; the emphasizing of an actor\u2019s numerous facial tics ; the enhancement of atmosphere in correlation to the clear - as - day emotions dictating the drama .\nwenders has a history of employing exceptional cinematographers ( such as robby m\u00fcller ) , and here gets fine work from benoit debie , whose glowing landscapes and interiors contribute at least as much as the script .\ndesplat who recently received his seventh and eighth academy award nomination for his music for the grand budapest hotel and the imitation game also has scored the drama suffragette starring carey mulligan & meryl streep , which will be released later this year . the composer\u2019s upcoming projects also include matteo garrone\u2019s the tale of tales and roman polanski\u2019s d .\nfor one , it takes almost the entire movie to introduce a lone demitasse of dramatic tension ( i . e . , the set - up described in the above paragraph ) , and then , it more or less spits it out on the floor . every thing will be fine is a critic\u2019s worst nightmare , which is to say that it\u2019s really goddamn boring\u2014the kind of boring that is tough to write about , and which inevitably threatens to bring out everyone\u2019s inner hack , cycling through synonyms to keep the prose lively ( \u201cdull , \u201d \u201ctedious , \u201d \u201cstultifying , \u201d etc . ) , all the while fighting the urge to just start nitpicking things that might be endearing in a better film . ( sure , no two members of the cast here have the same accent , but neither does anyone in the scarlet empress . ) why ? wenders ( paris , texas ; wings of desire ) used to be one of the hippest and most cosmopolitan filmmakers around , a director of road trips and existential metaphors that twirled out into long passages of poetic observation . but somewhere around the 1990s , his fiction films started to get soft and fat , distended by cameos and travel - guide backdrops\u2014the kind of stuff that had spun his best films , but now lacked a motor of ambition .\nthe admirable craziness \u2014 the sort that doesn\u2019t announce itself or use that quality to pervert every individual moment \u2014 doesn\u2019t necessarily subside , and thus neither does my affection . wenders and co . have created something at once unidentifiable and part of a long cinematic tradition , which speaks to me as a sign that it , no matter the initially poor reception , will have time to grow .\nevery thing will be fine follows tomas ( james franco ) , an aspiring writer whose life is irrevocably changed one winter day after he accidentally strikes two young brothers who are sledding , and only one of the boys survives . tomas , who was out driving that day after a disagreement with his then - girlfriend , sara ( rachel mcadams ) , breaks things off with her . eventually , he writes a best - seller and enters a serious relationship with grounded single mother ann ( marie - josee croze ) , a literary editor at tomas ' publishing house - - but he never forgets the accident and even checks in on the grieving mother ( charlotte gainsbourg ) who lost her son under his car . more than a decade after the accident , the surviving son , christopher ( robert naylor ) , now a mature teen , begins to stalk tomas in hopes of connecting with the man who showed him such compassion , even while being responsible for his brother ' s death .\ntragedy is random and unavoidable , and overcoming it can be slow , painful , and all - consuming . positive message about how creativity can flourish after grief .\nthis shopping feature will continue to load items . in order to navigate out of this carousel please use your heading shortcut key to navigate to the next or previous heading .\nrules weren\u2019t meant to be broken when it comes to tv episode lengths , but these 10 examples \u2014 introduced on the very good tv podcast \u2014 are clear exceptions .\njeremy thomas ' u . k . - based sales and finance banner hanway films will handle international sales and tout wenders ' vision to buyers at the upcoming marche du film .\nfranco bears all this with sleepy good grace and doesn\u2019t overdo the brooding , despite playing a man who has never met a window out of which he didn\u2019t want to stare pensively . gainsbourg isn\u2019t given much to do ; most of it is so over - familiar that there seems every danger she will react to the loss of her child by decamping to a woodland cabin to perform a self - clitoridectomy \u00e0 la antichrist .\nby proceeding with your navigation , you hereby accept the terms and conditions and cookie policy that will allow us to personalize content , share on social network , mesure audience and advertisement targeting .\nthe actress and director both love the genre , but as they told indiewire , they also knew it needed to be retrofitted to tell the true story of catherine weldon and sitting bull .\nthis is an intimate drama where the action takes place in living rooms , offices , cafes and cars . when there is an explosive incident , it tends to be shunted off - screen . the closest that the use of 3d comes to the spectacular is the shot of a kitchen curtain fluttering in the foreground , revealing autumnal fields stretching into the distance as far as the earth will allow .\nnew copyright filters in the eu : platforms like youtube have to filter uploads by users for copyright infringements . critics fear the end of memes and say this will destroy the internet as we know it ."]}

experienced actor who made his broadway debut at 12 years old , acquired the tiny two bedroom and one bathroom residence in april 2004 for $ 700 , 000 , according to property records , and it was here in 2013 that a woman he\u2019d spent the night with allegedly held him hostage when he asked her to leave the next morning . thomas managed to extricate himself unharmed and , naturally , called the police who , after a six - hour stand - off , \u201cused tear gas as well as flash bang grenades to remove the woman from the home . \u201d there\u2019s a moral lesson in there if any of the children want to find it but we\u2019re not touchin\u2019 it with a 10 - foot pole . anyhoodles , poodles\u2026 .\nan actor since he was 7 , thomas did plenty of stage work before moving to television and films . he got his biggest bump from \u201camerican pie\u201d ( he played finch ) , then noticed a similar nudge when he appeared in \u201charold & kumar go to white castle . \u201d tv and voiceover work followed . most recently he was in hbo\u2019s \u201chow to make it in america . \u201d\ngetting started in the field of acting at the age of seven in his hometown of new york city , eddie has come a long way . by 10 , he had appeared in\nrichard iii\nwith the brooklyn shakespeare company . he made his broadway debut at 12 as an understudy in john guare ' s lincoln center production of\nfour baboons adoring the sun\n. he has numerous other theater credits as well as his many film roles .\n\u201cwe found out about this plot and the whole storyline early last season , \u201d says thomas of the arc of his relationship with happy , though he\u2019s unwilling to say anything about the identity of his tv girlfriend\u2019s recently revealed husband or whether or not they stay together . \u201cwhenever [ santora ] has stuff that he\u2019s excited about , he tells us . and then we get storylines that trickle down . \u201d\nhe even likens the process to summer camp . \u201cyou get really close to people and because it has a definite ending , you know you are going to have to say goodbye to them , so you build a closer relationship in a short amount of time , \u201d says thomas . \u201ci feel so blessed to do either a movie or a tv show , and like every other actor , i am always terrified it will be my last one . \u201d\nthe end seems far , far away for thomas , as he plays a genius that helps the fbi in \u201cscorpion , \u201d something that\u2019s been both fulfilling and educational . it\u2019s his first time starring in an action comedy , which captivated him . when asked what his dream role would be , he admitted it was a tough question but that he\u2019s always wanted to portray a detective in the 1970\u2019s . \u201ci\u2019m kind of playing a detective role now , which is really unique and fun . \u201d\ni ' m grateful for all of this ,\nsays thomas , 34 .\nacting has given me a wonderful life . when i was young we didn ' t have a lot of money , so we didn ' t take fancy vacations , but we made little local trips that were so much fun . we used to drive to philadelphia . i have fond memories of being a little kid who loved revolutionary history and getting to see battlefields and all that stuff . it was a really easy , inexpensive trip for our family and i remember it as being really , really fun !\nand it\u2019s the characters that have made the show a success . there are plenty of action shows on television , but thomas says the show\u2019s particular genius comes from a simple formula that the showrunner set up in the pilot . \u201cfrom the beginning , nick\u2019s done such a great job of putting these people \u2014 who have so much trouble operating in the world in a normal situation \u2014 in very difficult situations . sometimes , that involves saving the lives of millions of people , and sometimes that involves being honest with someone you love \u2014 whether it\u2019s a romantic partner or a friend . and there\u2019s a lot more of that coming . \u201d\nbut there\u2019s also the simple , boyish joy of getting to play an action hero \u2014 especially for thomas , who rose to prominence playing nerdy comic roles . \u201ci\u2019ve never gotten to be the guy chasing the bad guy and saving the world . \u201d but now , he spends his days \u201chaving things explode behind me and leaping forward , cheating death , riding on the roof of speeding cars , all the crazy stuff . \u201d with such a punishing production schedule , he has to remind himself to appreciate it . \u201cwho\u2019s jumping out of a plane ? who\u2019s going to stop the nuclear bomb ? insane has become normal on scorpion . \u201d\nthe best part about thomas\u2019 career is that he has been able to create a workable balance between \u201cbig screen\u201d projects and network favorites , he says . \u201ci would never choose one over the other . working on cbs\u2019s \u201cscorpion\u201d has given me a huge dose of what it\u2019s like working on tv \u2013 it all happens very quickly . we do a huge show in just nine days ; we basically make a 45 - minute action movie . if it were a movie , you would film 45 minutes of action over 3 - 4 months , so that\u2019s a major difference , \u201d he says . he admits that while it\u2019s challenging , he revels in the fast - paced nature . \u201cit gives you a high to work that quickly . \u201d\nit ' s the class of 1999 ' s 13th reunion ( huh ? ) , so the entire gang returns to east great falls . jim and michelle ( bigs and hannigan ) now have a 2 -

boy prankster stifler ( scott ) , who hasn ' t changed at all and leads them into all manner of trouble .\nthomas , who was born on staten island , new york , started his career as an actor at the mere age of seven . he appeared in the 1992 movie four baboons adoring the sun and also on the 1997 film the diary of anne frank . he was enrolled in the new york\u2019s professional children\u2019s high school for his studies . he debuted on screen in an episode of are you afraid of the dark ? and also appeared on two episodes of law and order on the year 1996 . he played different characters each time and appeared also in the independent movie illtown . his other endeavors in independent movies include appearing in the rage : carrie 2 as well as the motion picture black and white . his other appearance includes acting as freddy on freddy got fingered and as rosenberg in the 2004 movie harold and kumar go to white castle .\ncloser -

this site is an\nopen archive\nto all disney ' s gummi bears fans . please read the submit information before sending something . anything goes on this page that is somehow related to gummi bears and or it ' s characters . feedback is also greatly appreciated . we can never get enough complements . oh also , if you would like to use something from this page on your own site , please always ask first . thanks for bouncing by .\nthe show ' s popularity also led to a re - theming of disneyland ' s motor boat cruise , along with a small part of disneyland that became known as\ndisney afternoon avenue .\nthe motor boat cruise became the\nmotor boat cruise to gummi glen\nand plywood characters from the show made gummiberry juice along the waterway . the gummi bears , and on occasion human characters such as duke igthorn , princess calla , or king gregor , have also been featured as meetable characters in disney theme parks who greet guests .\nbecause it was so difficult to do disney - level animation on a television budget , there were occasional suggestions that the company could save itself some headaches by leaving the disney brand off the series . both eisner and fellow executive jeffrey katzenberg disagreed , believing that the disney theme parks would need a stream of new characters to use and that , regardless of what the title of the show was , a disney - produced program couldn\u2019t go on the air \u201cand look like trash . \u201d\ni remember watching gummi bears as a kid on the disney channel . i was sad when they stopped airing the show . disney channel was so much better when i was growing up . this is one of my favorite series and i was so excited when it was finally released on dvd . i just hope that they decide to finally release the rest of the seasons !

what would have happened if tom selleck had played indiana jones ? most of the time , such questions are simply left twisting in the wind .\n[ a side note : good advice to future producers trying to keep final scenes secret\u2013make sure it contains only two actors , one of whom is a dog and cannot spill any secrets . in retrospect , matthew fox\u2019s comment in my interview with him that the finale dealt with \u201cwhat happens after we die\u201d was even more spoilery than it seemed to me at the time . ]\nin 1946 observer editor david astor lent george orwell a remote scottish farmhouse in which to write his new book , nineteen eighty - four . it became one of the most significant novels of the 20th century . here , robert mccrum tells the compelling story of orwell ' s torturous stay on the island where the author , close to death and beset by creative demons , was engaged in a feverish race to finish the book\nlong story short , the gang kinda never gets around to honoring their suicide pact , so a masked killer steps in and kills them for themselves , because they can ' t kill their own selves for themselves . by the middle of the movie , any message about suicide the movie may have been trying to get across is gone , replaced with long sequences that show off the soundtrack , which may have been\nwhen a young girl takes her own life , archie and the other suicide kids decide to follow her lead and form a pact . but as the group begin to die one by one , archie realizes that they have all become the target of a masked killer and that his commitment to death has become a terrifying fight for survival and a battle to protect the girl he loves . but who ' s the killer ?\ndespite this warning , a second teenager also kills herself shortly afterwards , while attending some sort of never explained photoshoot , after recording an equally unexplained , random video diary saying she has bulimia . ( there are frequent other random uses of video cameras throughout the script , to such an extent that i\u2019m left wondering whether this was conceived as found footage in an earlier draft . there is also a single bizarre sequence when the characters all talk to each other via webcams , shown on screen as coloured blocks that look like a bad game of tetris . ) the bulimia remark is typical of the sort of brief , half - hearted infodumps which are intended to show that these teens have \u2018demons\u2019 . another one later in the film goes like this : \u201cwhy do you live in that squat ? \u201d \u201cmy dad kicked me out because i got a girl pregnant . \u201d seriously , a whole bunch of people thought this was a filmable script .\nwhat it was , regardless , was a * story * , which showed the characters realizing the struggles we had seen them work through on the island . so the state they reached in the sideways was , in fact\u2013as we often suspected through season 6\u2013too perfect . the characters had more completely overcome their demons than they did on the island world . but this perfection itself was not enough . without the pain , and struggle of the physical world , and without the actual memory of it , their happiness was meaningless .\n\u201cthe end , \u201d and thus season six , and thus lost , was not perfect , because nothing is . i still believe that jacob and the man in black were never characterized as richly as other characters , like ben , which rendered locke in the end too much of a generic baddie . and the final images\u2013with the heavenly light shining though the doorway of the chapel , as christian walked into it a la close encounters\u2013were a bit overly touched by an angel .\nat a sixth form college , the principal announces that one of the students has killed herself , which is met with a startling lack of response from her disinterested peers . a couple of plain clothes policemen are there , one of whom warns the youngsters about the dangers of copycat suicides , something i\u2019m sure would never happen in real life because the natural response of any troubled teen would be : \u201cwell , i hadn\u2019t really thought of topping myself , but now that you come to suggest it\u2026\u201d\nyou could take that literally , as in : this is a picture of what happens when you die . or you could take it metaphorically , as in : this is a story using spiritual imagery to depict the lasting legacy of human contact . ( i personally see it that way , in the same way that i believe that religious scriptures are not literally true and yet are some of our most powerful and important stories regardless . your mileage may vary , as they say on the internet . )\n6 . the white demon face that we first see in father karras ' s dream sequence ( which friedkin says was influenced by alain resnais ' s use of subliminal editing in his holocaust documentary night & fog ) was never meant to be used in the film . it was an outtake from makeup tests performed on eileen dietz , linda blair ' s body double . friedkin had a last - minute inspiration to include just a few frames in the dream sequence and then later again during the exorcism itself .\naudience\u201d as one of the sleeve quotes has it ) . it\u2019s about a bunch of whining , self - important , self - obsessed teenagers who have nothing to worry about but like to complain anyway and feel the world owes them something just for getting out of bed . there isn\u2019t a single likeable or empathetic character in the entire film . why should anyone care what happens to these kids ? these are characters who are so shallow ( in both senses ) that for most of them we only learn their names after they die .\nbut though i saw that\u2013and knew , as jack staggered through the bamboo , that he was going out to die precisely where he first came to the island\u2013all my intellectualizing went out the window when vincent reappeared as he had in the pilot\u2019s first minutes . the show was returning to its simplest roots : life and death in the wild , and people trying to save other people . even if you saw the closing eye coming , what that eye saw before it gave up its spark\u2013a plane flying , safe in the sky , with jack\u2019s friends on board\u2013counts among the loveliest images lost has produced in six years of them .\nthe teacher , incidentally , is seen downing whiskey ( possibly that\u2019s his \u2018demon\u2019 , though once again there\u2019s neither context nor comment ) and telling someone on the phone that he wants out of whatever they\u2019re involved in . out of what ? who was on the phone ? why is he drinking ? is he the killer , or involved with the killer ? this is just one more random red herring that leads nowhere and means nothing , never either explained or justified . maybe that actually is the killer on the phone , but if so what is the teacher\u2019s involvement ? we don\u2019t know , and if arjun rose knows he\u2019s too incompetent a writer to explain .\n22 . blatty filmed a tight psychological thriller and executives hated it , especially because it had no exorcism of any kind .\nthey had come for slashings , for blood and guts ,\nsaid blatty .\nobviously i never wanted the film to be characterized in that way , and that is one of the reasons why i personally resisted using the title the exorcist iii . i wanted the movie to be called legion but the producers disagreed .\njason miller , who played father karras in the original ( a character who died , by the way ) , was brought in and a special - effects heavy exorcism was tacked onto the film ' s end .\neight very different london students have one deadly secret : they have all made a pact to end their lives together . however , a mysterious masked killer emerges from the shadows to grant their death - wish in a more terrifying fashion than they could ever have imagined . misfit archie , model samantha , wide - boy kenny , star pupil ashleigh , conflicted sachin , goth - girl jasmine , and weakling james are all battling their own private demons , from eating disorders to lost parents . but as a much deadlier assailant hunts them down one by one , their quest for death becomes a desperate fight for their lives . can these friends survive long enough to discover what they have to live for ?

all it evidently did was kicked the losties from 1977 to 2007 . with the island safe and no man in black , why , how , did hurley ever die ? why exactly did locke become mortal ? and\u2013a question with a zillion subquestions\u2013would it really have been so damn bad if the island sank after locke died ?\non jura he would be liberated from these distractions but the promise of creative freedom on an island in the hebrides came with its own price . years before , in the essay\nwhy i write\n, he had described the struggle to complete a book :\nwriting a book is a horrible , exhausting struggle , like a long bout of some painful illness . one would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven by some demon whom one can neither resist or [ sic ] understand . for all one knows that demon is the same instinct that makes a baby squall for attention . and yet it is also true that one can write nothing readable unless one constantly struggles to efface one ' s personality .\nthen that famous orwellian coda .\ngood prose is like a window pane .\nthe circumstances surrounding the writing of nineteen eighty - four make a haunting narrative that helps to explain the bleakness of orwell ' s dystopia . here was an english writer , desperately sick , grappling alone with the demons of his imagination in a bleak scottish outpost in the desolate aftermath of the second world war . the idea for nineteen eighty - four , alternatively ,\nthe last man in europe\n, had been incubating in orwell ' s mind since the spanish civil war . his novel , which owes something to yevgeny zamyatin ' s dystopian fiction we , probably began to acquire a definitive shape during 1943 - 44 , around the time he and his wife , eileen adopted their only son , richard . orwell himself claimed that he was partly inspired by the meeting of the allied leaders at the tehran conference of 1944 . isaac deutscher , an observer colleague , reported that orwell was\nconvinced that stalin , churchill and roosevelt consciously plotted to divide the world\nat tehran .\nity trader turned director arjun rose hedges his bets with his genre - bending debut : part bleeding heart emo love story ; part urban brit flick ; part high school slasher . it ' s a bit like being in a room with a group of stoned people at a youtube party , replaying the best bits of their favourite movies . executive produced by\n, with a last - minute name change from suicide kids , this stars a cast of hollyoaks , misfits and kidulthood alumni \u2013 a likable bunch but a smidge perky as depressed sixth formers who ' ve signed up to the world ' s most clueless suicide pact (\nwhat about hanging\u2026 from trees and that ?\n) . just as they ' re about to follow through \u2013 oh , the irony \u2013 along comes a knife - wielding psychopath picking them off one by one . the police think they ' ve got a spate of copycat suicides on their hands . how they could mistake frenzied knife wounds for self - inflicted injuries is anyone ' s guess . in real life , we ' d be talking major public inquiry .\n\u00a9 2018 guardian news and media limited or its affiliated companies . all rights reserved .\nthis website uses cookies . we use technologies , such as cookies , to customise content and advertising , to provide social media features and to analyse traffic to the site ( including the use of ad blockers ) . by continuing to use our website you consent to our privacy and cookie policy . read more\nwhen a friend kills herself , archie ( sheehan ) and his friends , the ' suicide kids ' , form a pact to follow suite . soon though a mysterious figure starts knocking them off and they find themselves facing a struggle to survive .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\njermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ?

sid vicious and james dean both died for your sins , and all you can do is text each other on your fucking blackberries .\n) so already marked as our final girl . she somehow evades the masked killer , but not everyone is convinced she saw someone because her mother has split personality syndrome ( which the script is agonisingly careful to avoid calling schizophrenia ) and she might have it too . further bodies mount up , including a teacher and his wife / girlfriend . in the real world the school would be closed and a massive police operation would swing into place . but in the shoddily amateur writing of debutante film - maker arjun rose , everything carries on as normal . no - one seems perturbed by the spate of violent deaths or the threat of further killings , and the investigation remains limited to two coppers in one car .\nsome of the remaining , still alive youngsters decide that they maybe don\u2019t want to commit suicide after all because\u2026 well , there\u2019s no more reason for them to change their minds than to decide on hara - kiri in the first place . rose has no concept of characterisation or motivation . it doesn\u2019t help that some of the cast are shockingly wooden actors , but even talented performers couldn\u2019t make this work . remember harrison ford\u2019s famous comment on the set of\n? \u201cyou can write this stuff , george , but you sure as heck can\u2019t say it . \u201d well , arjun rose can\u2019t even write it .\nit all culminates at a massive party in a huge house where dozens of vacuous teenagers drink and chatter and snog but the most actually rebellious thing they can manage is a game of twister . the one psycho teen who organised the original pact ( pointlessly shadowed everywhere by an acolyte with a video camera \u2013 see note above re . found footage origins ) is now determined to murder everyone instead , using his dad\u2019s gun . he\u2019s played by jason maza (\n) . there\u2019s a stultifyingly awful dialogue exchange where he explains to his camera - toting chum that this will make him a mass murderer , not a serial killer , complete with dictionary definitions of each . added to an earlier exchange between final girl and sensitive irish lad about character arcs , this overt textual analysis of horror film tropes within a horror film underlines that rose has watched"]}

acclaimed mounaguru ?\nthe strand of friendship among saravanan , pazhani , senthil and aarumugam running through the warp and weft of the plot is one of those rare redeeming features of thagaraaru . they are as thick as thieves , literally ! in a scenario where gang wars are common and the police force is also hounding them , one of them gets killed and that\u2019s the beginning of the end .\nafter some excellent underplay in mounaguru , arulnithi\u2019s performance goes for a toss in the romantic scenes of thagaraaru . in an effort to make him look comedic , vinaayac manages to make the hero appear absolutely inane . a pathetic attempt at levity ! footwork is still not arul\u2019s forte , but he makes a mark in the sequences where he\u2019s unable to get over the death of his friend .\nthe songs have come out very well . i have written the lyrics for two songs . thiruttu paya pulla and super thirudan . i like behindwoods a lot . i have followed behindwoods on facebook , twitter and google plus . behindwoods is straight forward in their reviews . i liked two songs a lot in the thagaraaru album and you had given thumbs up for exactly the same tracks .\nrevenge without focus is the fulcrum of thagaraaru ( u / a ) . the sickle - and - scythe culture made out to be synonymous with madurai is the base of the film . so much so , the beauty and religiosity of the city dotted with exquisite temples go unnoticed . for quite a while the film meanders through a path of romance and robbery before the director actually decides to steer the course of the story to a bloody end . thagaraaru is about four sagacious thieves . yet strangely , the men , who plan their heists around the city with admirable intelligence , are senseless and impulsive while tracing the real enemy ! writer - director ganesh vinaayac ( the spelling is befuddling ! ) gets himself stuck with a story that isn\u2019t convincing and characters that lack stability .\na deserving break for pawanji ( senthil ) , who has been hovering in the wings for long ! as the protective friend he scores . and be it sulil kumar ( pazhani ) or aarumugam ( murugadas ) , each has a significant part to play . not often do you see friends of heroes , or for that matter , the heroine in significant roles . thagaraaru is an exception .\nit is as though ganesh has decided that violence has to be the mainstay of thagaraaru , whether it is warranted or not . so despite a fair share of suspense and twists , the film doesn\u2019t appeal . plausibility is a casualty at many junctures \u2014 heroine meenakshi\u2019s volte face , for instance . also , the rich girl\u2019s responses to the thief\u2019s overtures are unbelievable . all the same , it is a strong role and poorna does a neat job of it .\nyeah , we thought of numerous other titles . some of them were sambhavam , ganganam , pagal vettai , pagal kollai , adi odhai kuthu . but the titles were either registered at the producer\u2019s council or at the guild . the titles that i suggested , the producer did not like . the titles he suggested , i did not like . the titles we both liked were already registered . when we were casually speaking about this , the producer uttered the words \u201c title pudikarudhey orey thagaraara irukku \u201d . i immediately told him , \u201c sir thagaraaru is a good title \u201d . that is how the title came up . all the credits for this title go to the producer .\ni hadn\u2019t met arulnithi before . dance master dinesh introduced me to arul sir in thenkasi . i felt he would be apt for the script . everyone was doubtful when i said i wanted arulnithi as the lead . after i narrated the script at cloud nine , durai sir asked me who i had in mind for the lead . i told them arul sir would be apt . the first thing that he asked me was will you be able to handle him . but after i started mingling with him , i realized he is like a child . he is extremely friendly . his character is directly opposite to what people told me about him . he hasn\u2019t come late to the shooting spot one single day . he asks for suggestions even for little things . there has not been any \u201cthagaraaru\u201d between us for anything . he could do anything if he wanted . his brother is the producer . he has such a huge background . but he did not have anything of that sort in his mind . he was friendly , punctual and was a director\u2019s actor .\nis a well - made fast moving thriller with a terrific climax twist . it ' s an unpredictable crime drama that combines violence and friendship set in tamil cinema ? s favourite milieu - madurai .\nis thrilling for the manner in which the story unfolds with unfamiliar twists and confusing turns that are likely to baffle you along the way . the incidents are all neatly tied up and culminate in a thrilling climax which is gripping and holds your interest for 2 hours and 15 minutes .\nfour orphans saravanan ( arulnidhi ) , pazhani ( sulile kumar ) senthil ( pawan ) , aarumugam ( murugadoss ) , are thick friends who become hardened thieves and will do anything for money .\nsarvanan the youngest of the lot and most daring of the lot falls head over heels in love with meenakshi , the only daughter of the local money lender and tough guy kanthuvatti rajendran ( jayaprakash ) . the friends of saravanan warn him not to mess around with meenakshi , as their trade and friendship will be at stake . but it is too late as the plot thickens .\nboasts the best performance you will see by an ensemble cast in a long time , and that includes even the bit players . all the actors get into the skin of their character with ease . arulnithi carries the role of saravanan perfectly and poorna has a meaty role which she excels .\nand a host of madurai made films which sets in a sense of d ? j ? vu . technically the film is slick with good camera work and rain effect shots by k dhilraj , bgm of praveen sathya in the climax and fast ? cut editing by ts suresh without any gimmicks .\ndebutant ganesh vinayacc , has made an impressive debut . amidst all the violence and killing , this film has a full beating heart . for an audience numbed by predictable comedies dished out week after week ,\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nfast paced folk basher that plays out almost exactly as you expect it to , including the dynamism of the vocal performances . all the innovation that dharan could infuse to the tune comes early on with the screeching pipe instrumentals . it\u2019s business as usual for the singers .\nnext up is a tune that is surprisingly engaging even if it\u2019s templated in concept . but dharan makes the most of the 5 and odd minutes to get creative with the orchestration dropping in flute solos , piano notes to pair with the pulsating rhythm section . the gradual build up of the crescendo is quite brilliantly devised and ably executed by the singer ananthu . if anything , the sheer persistence of a talented composer to showcase his skills and mettle has led to an impressive result .\nthis track seems to pick up from the fag end of the poda podi closer in terms of energy , vigor and sound . the tempo is infectiously high and leaves you with little regard for the actual melody when the beats are inescapable . it\u2019s a parade of percussions behind haricharan\u2019s powerhouse performance but you can\u2019t help but wish that the chorus hook was a little more fresh , atleast lyrically , to take this song to a higher level .\nagain credit to dharan to dish out a folk tune with a refreshing essence while working with simple melodies . the composer embellishes the tune colorfully with his bright instrumentation and backed by the always - enjoyable karthik . the core elements of the song are very much served on the surface but there\u2019s plenty of action in the background that can keep the listener interested and even excited .\nverdict : dharan continues to show promise with an album that has some impressive highlights .\n' simbu is like a mirror ' -

( the kaminsky character was clearly inspired by lelouch himself , who has seven children from four wives . ) when jacques\u2019 best buddy , the crafty doctor frederic ( mitchell ) , shows up for a little r & r and realizes how distraught his friend is about being cut off from his own kids , he summons jacques\u2019 daughters to the mountains , claiming their dad is fatally ill .\nbut whatever momentum lelouch was building in the film\u2019s mid - section is upended by several ludicrous plot twists in the latter reels , undermining the family dynamic in favor of genre conventions that really have no place in the story . to explain these late events would spoil the movie , although they honestly make little sense and seem to have been culled from something long lost in the director\u2019s lengthy filmography .\nalongside armstrong / fitzgerald standards like \u201ccheek to cheek , \u201d the soundtrack uses georges moustaki \u2019s summery \u201cles eaux de mars\u201d to pick up the pace at different points in the film . while hallyday and mitchell never belt out any songs of their own , they do sing along to the famous dean martin - ricky nelson ballad from rio bravo , in a particularly bromantic scene of senior bonding .\ndedicating his latest film to his daughters , france ' s corniest director casts johnny hallyday as an absentee dad trying to make amends .\nwith : johnny hallyday , sandrine bonnaire , eddy mitchell , irene jacob , pauline lefevre , sarah kazemy , jenna thiam , valerie kaprisky , isabella de herogh , agnes soral , silvia kahn , antoine dulery . jean - franocis derec , jacky ido , gilles lemaire . ( french , spanish dialogue )\nsuitable only for little old ladies and hallyday lovers , this baffling blend of genres begins as a romance ( the first buds of spring ) , shifts into family melodrama ( hot summer nights ) and ends quite unexpectedly with a murder mystery ( one that resolves itself in the dead of winter ) . there\u2019s even a bastille day bank heist along the way , though the details are mentioned only in passing \u2014 a shame , since it sounds considerably more engaging than the warm - and - fuzzy business in the foreground .\nthen kaminsky\u2019s best friend / personal doctor ( eddy mitchell ) shows up , instantly diagnoses the situation and decides to bend the truth , telling the four daughters that their father is dying \u2014 a ploy that successfully compels them to visit , while creating considerable anxiety all around . is papa really sick ? if not , how should he break the news that they came under false pretenses ? dramatically , fireworks should follow , but here they occur beforehand ( only literally , alas , with a big bastille day show ) .\nas the girls arrive by car , taxi and helicopter \u2014 the youngest , hiver ( jenna thiam ) , even hitchhikes , getting a ride with a black perfume salesman whom the film politely invites to stay , then promptly forgets about \u2014 kaminsky silently notes how they have grown into successful , independent women , especially the eldest , printemps ( irene jacob ) , who is nearly nathalie\u2019s age . meanwhile , instead of being assertive about their feelings or honest about how screwed up they are from having a serial womanizer for a dad , they instantly go in for the group hug \u2014 an impulse totally in keeping with the pic\u2019s easy - listening soundtrack , which seems better suited to a dreary hotel bar .\ninspired at least in part by his own life , lelouch has seven daughters , the first few of which were also spaced roughly seven years apart . perhaps that\u2019s why the film so gently sides with kaminsky , rather than whatever his offspring must be feeling , especially just after dad drops his bombshell . automne ( sarah kazemy , the weakest of the four ) throws a small fit , but it blows over quickly , and as the girls inexplicably unwind half - naked in a nearby waterfall , lelouch pulls a cruel trick , killing off one of the main characters \u2014 a misstep from which the story never recovers . the bastard !\nreviewed at ugc cine cite les halles , april 2 , 2014 .

66 , juneau was appointed vice - chairman of the board of broadcast governors 1966 - 68 and was chairman of the canadian radio - television and telecommunications commission 1968 - 75 . his assertive application of commission regulations governing canadian content in broadcasting won him a reputation as a cultural nationalist ( the canadian recording industry ' s juno awards were named partly in his honour ) that was only marginally dimmed by the commission ' s failure to devise effective controls for cable transmissions .\n, on 21 april 890 at st . theresa ' s church , theresa , theresa county , wisconsin . witnesses were albertho gerlach , henrico petri , rosa schmitt , and mathilda juneau .\nmaking our voices heard : canadian broadcasting and film for the 21st century ( the juneau report ) , editor . ottawa , ontario , canada : ministry of supply and services , 1995 .\n\u201c [ juneau ] played a seminal role in the promotion of canadian culture during his many years of public service , \u201d acting crtc chair leonard katz said tuesday in his own statement .\nthe parents of solomon - juneau , named la tulipe , came to canada from alsace - loraine in 1789 , changing the family name to juneau at that time . the author of the pioneer history of milwaukee , says of solomon juneau :\nhe was , without exception , the finest looking specimen of his race i have ever seen . in height over six feet , large frame and straight as an arrow .\nhe was honest , upright and forceful and the trusted friend and counselor of the great body of indians then living in the territory of wisconsin .\none of the most notable and successful \u201cstar candidate\u201d gambits includes lester pearson\u2019s recruitment of quebec\u2019s \u201cthree wise men\u201d \u2013 labour leader jean marchand , la presse editor gerard pelletier and journalist / academic pierre trudeau ( at the time the least well -

to - date .\ncould you ask for a better smackdown duo ? these gentlemen are arguably the two hottest young chefs on the scene right now . both have sharp restaurants , both hosted tv cooking programs last year and both have a mastery of ingredients \u2013 especially local ingredients \u2013 shared by few . these boys can cook , they\u2019re competitive and they\u2019re even good friends , having worked together from 2002 to 2004 at the laval restaurant derri\u00e8re les fagots , where st - pierre was chef and juneau a commis .\nthree members of the juneau family , two brothers and one cousin , came to settle here . three came from the parish of notre - dame de cogne , one of la rochelle suburbs .\ntoday , these two are on equal footing and are churning out some pretty spectacular plates . juneau\u2019s style is more flamboyant ( think gussied - up comfort food ) , while st - pierre keeps his cuisine along more traditional upscale comfort food lines . that said , despite the occasional risky flavour combinations , if there\u2019s one thing these boys don\u2019t do is make mistakes . watching them chop , fry , select and assemble their food is a real pleasure . someone give these two their own cooking show !\nin 1975 , liberal prime minister pierre trudeau appointed juneau minister of communication but he was defeated in the by - election of that year and resigned from the post . in 1978 , still under trudeau , he became under secretary of state and in 1980 deputy minister of communication . trudeau appointed juneau to a seven - year term as president of the canadian broadcasting corporation ( cbc ) in 1982 . these proved to be turbulent times , however , as the trudeau government was defeated by the conservative party of prime minister brian mulroney . although the cbc president enjoys an\narm ' s length\nrelationship with the government , relations between juneau , who was closely identified with the trudeau liberals , and the new government became strained as increasingly severe budget cuts were imposed upon the cbc . in 1988 , the mulroney government also revised the broadcasting act . it foresaw that juneau ' s position would be split between a part - time president and a full - time chairman , a move which juneau opposed . simultaneously , throughout the 1980s , new television services were launched and the cbc ' s audience share declined . juneau defended both the ideal and the practical reality of public broadcasting and stated his intention to raise to 95 % the amount of canadian content on the cbc . furthermore , in 1988 - 89 , he oversaw the launch of the cbc ' s all - news cable channel , newsworld , on which he appeared as the first speaker on the last day of his mandate ."]}

under the pen name ' chithraguptan ' - narrates the ordeal of an elderly man who is asked to pay ' three and five\nfor a government job for his son . even ' samy ' ( god ) in vellalapatti . . .\nof his performance in the film , indiaglitz stated\nas a brother and a bitter son , prashanth has churned out what is arguably one of his better performances till date .\nhis final release of the year was shiva shanmugam ' s\nthagapansamy\nwhich featured prashanth in the role of a village do -

stricken village , it changes track completely post - intermission to turn into a movie about bonded laborers and their savior . while the first half is realistic and absorbing , the second half is so cinematic , outdated and silly that it completely negates the good things about the first half and then some .\nkathivelu ( prashanth ) , a clown / dancer in the village of paaraipatti , feeds the rest of the villagers with the meager earnings he manages . when a drought hits the village , the villagers want to head out but kathirvelu , resolute about not leaving his village , decides to dig a well and hires a renowned digger ( mahadevan ) for the job . love also blossoms between kathirvelu and the digger ' s daughter ( pooja ) . the digger is optimistic but things don ' t work out as expected . so kathirvelu and the villagers head to rajasthan for a well - paying job but the job is not what they expected .\nthe film initially looks like a realistic film about the struggles of villagers whose land is hit by drought . their troubles evoke sympathy and the images and sequences remind us of films like kb ' s\n. the characters and the setting are realistic and so their travails move us . we understand their struggle to choose between staying in their own land hoping for rain and moving to a new place hoping to earn a livelihood . there are some very sharp yet matter - of - fact lines that illustrate their situation .\nthe movie then appears to turn into one of those inspirational movies where villagers , having been let down by the government , overcome their troubles on their own . here again it maintains realism as the villagers place their hope in prashanth and the well - digger . we share their hopes and dreams and also their sadness when those hopes are dashed .\nafter the sober and realistic proceedings , the route the movie takes after the villagers move to rajasthan comes as a very unpleasant surprise . the villagers only go north but the place they land up in makes it seem like they have moved back in time to end up in the 60s or 70s ! vincent asokan , in both his costume and behavior , reminds us of the ever - popular\ns in movies from those times and the whole setup of the estate where no one can escape from is presented in a very unbelievable manner . cliched characters , like the villain ' s sister who develops a liking for the hero and a corrupt lady cop in cahoots with the villain , make their appearance and there is some ill - suited , crude comedy as the movie takes one wrong step after the other .\nunsurprisingly , prashanth too transforms from the realistic hero of the first half to the familiar larger - than - life hero who has to save the villagers , in the second half . the tale becomes quite allegorical and the the similarities to the tale of jesus ( there is even a crucifixion - style scene ) are hard to miss .\nprashanth , still looking for that elusive hit , gives his everything to the role . he is soft and mellow as the role deserves initially and then becomes driven as he tries to get the villagers out . pooja doesn ' t suit the role of the village belle but makes it easier to accept her with a good performance . namitha , in a small role , appears fully clothed and maybe because the focus in on her face , actually looks cute . vincent asokan plays his role the way his dad did in the past but it irritating in this time of quietly menacing villains .\nmy story review : can an awfully melodramatic story line be rescued if shot in some exotic locations . . .\ndirector karunakaran , who has made some fine romantic dramas in the past like toli prema , \u2018darling . . .\nmr chandramouli review : if you are looking for time pass entertainment then the film is a one -

digger shanmugham ( mahadevan ) and his daughter mari ( pooja ) to the village . kathirvel has a soft corner for mari which develops into love but after her father\u2019s freak accidental death , she does not want any association with the village .\nsoon everybody in the village migrates to mount abu in rajasthan and due to their gullible nature , are trapped by an agent who makes them bonded labourers at thakur das ( vincent asokan ) farm . how kathirvel becomes the one - man - army and saves them from the clutches of das and brings them back to their village forms the rest of the story .\nthe story and situations does not seem convincing . why should thakur das sister swapna ( namitha ) suddenly fall for our hero ? all people in rajasthan speak tamil ! and one song sequence every 15 minutes belted out by srikanth deva is too much to bear ! the comedy track of karunas has some off - colour stupid jokes . and some typical clich\u00e9d characters \u2013a gluttonous boy who leaves farts , a rajasthani lady cop who always sings choli ke peeche kya hai\u2026 and lusts after the hero !\nthe camera of sridhar passes off ooty as mount abu . in short , watch this film for the one - man - show of prashanth , as he is the only silver lining in a film with a confused and confounded plot . a talented actor like him deserves a much better script !\nhe was once the golden boy of tamil cinema but got lost somewhere along the way . is known to have a faithful fan following in malaysia and singapore but not many to speak of back home . there are many who believe that he can no longer set the box office on fire . this will be decided when runway and petrol hit screens . his last release , thagappansaamy didn\u2019t perform too bad , profit wise . his experience in the industry must stand him in good stead during the tough times . needs to take care of his physique . his movies are now made within 2 . 5 crores and thanks to his malaysian and singaporean audience ; distributors buy them for around 3 crores . he is paid 40 - 50 lakhs . salary : 40 - 50 lakhs trade value : \u2022 production cost of the movie involved : 2 . 5 crores \u2022 movie sold for : 3 crores fan base : decreasing - last hit : winner \u2022 box office verdict : hit \u2022 year : 2003 future projects : runway , petrol number of years in the industry : 18\norumurai piranthaen -

2006 . he is considered the greatest actor that kannada cinema has seen mainly because of the ease with which he enacted historical , mythological , social , adventurous and comedic roles .\nthe kannada film industry managed to generate several blockbusters in the first decade of the new millennium . the new millennium saw the release of dr . rajkumar ' s last movie , shabdavedhi , which ran for a packed 175 days across the state . the movie ' s run was interrupted by veerapan ' s kidnapping of rajkumar . dr . rajkumar was held captive for 108 days , after which he was released . during this time the state of karnataka was on a string of bandhs and protests . the industry suffered heavy losses with the demise of superstars dr . rajkumar and dr . vishnuvardhan . the passing of other kfi actors like tiger prabhakar , k . s . ashwath and vajramuni also gave a huge setback to the industry .\nthe story thinly revolves around power shortage aptly freshened up by ample doses of action , comedy and love . viraat prasad ( darshan ) is a businessman who wants to provide a solution to the existing power problem and in consultation with the chief minister , a role played by suhasini , he plans to build a thermal power project . enter surendra singh ( ravi shankar ) , an opportunist , who tries to distract the chief minister and take over the project . but the project is handed over to viraat which does not go down well with singh . balancing the friction and the action is romance involving three ladies - keerthi ( chaitra chandranath ) , spoorthi ( vidisha srivastava ) and preethi ( isha chawla ) , who are head over heels for viraat , but the latter chooses one among them , managing to maintain his friendship with the other two . how does he handle singh and the thermal project and who does he select as his love runs in parallel and forms the crux of the film .\nclick on the menu icon of the browser , it opens up a list of options .\nhere click on the \u201cprivacy & security\u201d options listed on the left hand side of the page .\na pop up will open with all listed sites , select the option \u201callow\u201c , for the respective site under the status head to allow the notification .\nonce the changes is done , click on the \u201csave changes\u201d option to save the changes .\nbangalore -

red high - heeled shoes , the long shot of a wheelchair - bound man being led to an suv , the view of a bedridden villain through the mosquito net that falls around him like a shroud , and above all , the superb gallery of unique -

sepinwall stating : \u201d there are too many characters \u2014 including various hierarchies in the cia , fbi and svr ( the latter - day kgb ) \u201d sounds like something that would\u2019ve been said about the wire\u2019s pilot episode .\nbased on the trailer , i thought that the mom would be the most interesting character , but i actually liked the dad better , and the sisters were both good too . alex , though , i found to be somewhat annoying . the last two acts of the episode were more interesting than the rest of the episode , but overall it was fairly mediocre . also i want to mention that allegiance is not a rip - off of the americans , it is actually based on an iraeli series .\n\u2019s jack shephard offers an example of a long - arc character education , spending most of the series struggling with his role as a reluctant leader , his need to fix situations , and his inability to see beyond his own rationality . the series shows his gradual acceptance of irrational phenomena and coming to terms with his lack of control , an arc that enables him to ultimately fulfill his destiny to save the island and his friends . similarly ,\noften these connections between viewers and characters are termed \u201cidentification , \u201d but i agree with smith that this term is inadequate to convey the complexity of the viewing process ; instead , he proposes that engaging characters involves the three practices of recognition ( as discussed above ) , alignment , and allegiance ( discussed below ) . smith\u2019s notion of alignment helps explain the connections viewers feel with characters , both within the storyworld and parasocially outside of it , as a series manages what we know about and experience with characters .\nin fact , israel has only won three prizes in the history of the awards . in 2013 , the best documentary award went to 5 broken cameras , an israeli - palestinian film about palestinian protests in bil\u2019in . the documentary was listed as french , however , due to some of the funding coming from there . in 2010 , the israeli tv show ramzor ( \u201ctraffic light\u201d ) won in the best comedy series category , and in 2000 , the film kapo , produced in conjunction with germany , took the best documentary film award .\nat 8 / 7c , nbc will air dateline : the real blacklist , a new investigative series hosted by richard engel that focuses on conspiracy - themed investigations and crimes that involve larger - than - life perpetrators and circumstances .\nthe eight - episode event series \u201cthe slap , \u201d written by pulitzer prize finalist jon robin baitz and executive produced by the team of walter f . parkes and laurie macdonald ( \u201cgladiator , \u201d \u201cmen in black\u201d ) and director lisa cholodenko ( \u201cthe kids are all right , \u201d \u201colive kitteridge\u201d ) , will air thursdays at 8 p . m . beginning feb . 12 . the series stars peter sarsgaard , uma thurman , thandie newton and zachary quinto .\nseries creators anne bjornstad and eilif skodvin say they conceived of van zandt ' s frank\nthe fixer\ntagliano as a\nfish out of water ,\na safe and reliable comedic device . but in the musician ' s performance and his own scripting for the character , tagliano has become a way for millions of viewers to symbolically explore american cultural imperialism as well as the pluses and minuses of a belief system that privileges individual ethnic , racial and religious identification over any allegiance to a national system of values .\nin other words , this nbc drama that begins on thursday is a nervy rip - off of \u201cthe americans , \u201d the fx series about soviet spies posing as ordinary suburban parents in the era of reagan and the evil empire .\nthe americans fx ' s ' 80s - set drama about kgb spies is one of the best series currently on television , if not the best . - if that is the case , why is it bleeding viewers every single week\ni\u2019ve been anticipating this essay \u2014 and we\u2019ve gone back and forth on several of its points on the twittersphere \u2014 and really appreciate the nuanced and incredibly well - thought out way in which you\u2019ve approached your reaction to the series .\narya stark killed lord walder frey in the season 6 finale , along with his two most prominent sons , lame lothar frey and black walder rivers . lord walder had several dozen descendants , about a dozen of whom are prominent recurring characters in the novels , but their actions were massively condensed into just these two in the tv version . lame lothar was the steward of the twins and his father ' s right hand , coordinating the day to day activities of the castle ; black walder frey and walder rivers are two of their prominent army commanders ( condensed in the tv version into just one character ,\nblack walder rivers\n) .\nand while it ' s somewhat unfair to compare allegiance to the americans when the two shows are so clearly on different playing fields , it seems nbc made a pretty big mistake in greenlighting this knock - off version . so much of what makes the americans great\u2014the acting , the writing , the ' 80s setting , the wigs , the constant threat of being exposed\u2014is missing from allegiance . the show has a lot of work to do if it wants to emerge from the fx drama ' s looming shadow , but i ' m not very confident that it will last long enough to try .\nnbc , please bring back allegiance because most of your new shows suck like hell . it should be allowed to play out for a second season . read the great comments and ignore the negative ones because the negative feedback is ill - informed , biased and not real tv buffs . try it for another season , with appropriate advertising of course ( to rally the troops and bring back the supporters ) and you won\u2019t ever regret the second chance . it has enough background and real material for at least six seasons , probably ten seasons ( 100 episodes ) before sending it to pasture . thank you and god bless .\nthe continent , however , is no longer unified . the reach and dorne have pledged allegiance to would - be conquerer daenerys targaryen , while jon snow has been declared king in the north . likewise , euron greyjoy , king of the iron islands , is also intent on seeking power for himself .\nfor the past few weeks , my twitter mentions have been filled with indignation over the existence of \u201callegiance , \u201d the new nbc drama starring hope davis and scott cohen as russian deep cover agents who are pressured to recruit one of their kids to the cause . most of them go something like this :\nc - span ' s steve scully ,\nthe most patient man on television .\nthere ' s an entire series of\nand now . . .\ncompilation segments which gets laughs out of his unflinching reactions to bizarre callers .\nlearning to adapt to their new superpowers . in almost all of these series , the characters who follow such growth arcs are contrasted with stable adults whose personalities and actions are much more static , highlighting how character change is far from universal .\n5 . 6 the broadcast of editorially linked programmes dealing with the same subject matter ( as part of a series in which the broadcaster aims to achieve due impartiality ) should normally be made clear to the audience on air .

and - ready comic vigor , but also a surprising measure of thematic integrity .\nroger ebert gave it three stars , commenting that ,\nthe bottom line is , gross - out guy comedies open twice a month , and many of them are wretched excesses . hot tub time machine , which wants nothing more than to be a screwball farce , succeeds beyond any expectations suggested by the title .\n[ 9 ]\nthe movie is a comedy . sure it ' s unlikely for a squirrel to travel that distance in the given time , but so is a time machine in the form of a hot tub . the scene is there to demonstrate the effects of altering the future , not to prove how fast a squirrel can be . in a comedy , this is exactly the kind of liberties one might expect from a scriptwriter .\nlou is a party animal without the party . adam has just been brutally dumped by his girlfriend . his nephew jacob won ' t leave the basement . nick ' s career and marriage are circling the drain . disappointed with how their lives have ended up , the four friends decide to go to the old ski lodge where they spent their glory days . however , after a wild party in the hot tub , they find themselves in their glory days . the hot tub is really a hot tub time machine , and has transported them back to 1986 . they soon come to realize that they must literally relive their glory days exactly as they did to prevent a time paradox . however , some of them stray from the plan rather drastically . . .\nyou\u2019re going to see the phrase \u201c [ laughs ] \u201d a lot during this interview because rob corddry , clark duke , and craig robinson are , unsurprisingly , hilarious . they\u2019re all fantastic in their new movie hot tub time machine , and chances are that if you\u2019re laughing at something in that movie , it\u2019s because one of these guys delivered a joke .\nfrom the new york times . you may opt - out at any time .\nthat\u2019s not a bad thing for any kind of viewer , critic or not , to remind themselves of from time to time . but , trust me , it will not make the pain of watching hot tub time machine 2 any better . it was nice to meet russ , but i\u2019d be lying if i said my decisions on that beautiful day in the blue mountains did not fill me with regret . i should have gone outside . i should have got some fresh air . or maybe i should have watched rex hunt\u2019s fishing adventures .\na film review on friday about \u201chot tub time machine , \u201d in suggesting that the movie might give viewers of a certain age and background \u201ca twinge of pained , slightly nauseated nostalgia , \u201d misspelled part of the title of a song whose lyrics such viewers would know . the song , released by rick springfield in 1981 , is \u201cjessie\u2019s girl , \u201d not \u201cjesse\u2019s girl . \u201d\nhot tub time machine is like a thousand other successful films , a sexist piece of trash written , produced and directed by a club of men . the guys ' interests are just as small - scale , culturally myopic and selfish as those in satc2 . you ' d think the critics would have the same response to these loathsome lads as to the loathsome new york ladies .\nwhen lou , who has become the\nfather of the internet ,\nis shot by an unknown assailant , jacob and nick fire up the time machine again to save their friend . .\nwhen i read them back to him ( \u201cone of the funniest movies of all time ! \u201d ) weakland raises a few caveats . \u201ci don\u2019t know if it\u2019s of all time of all time , \u201d he says . \u201cmy review of hot tub time machine 2 was probably a combination of both films . i understand how the second one might not be as good as the first , which i really loved , but it still lives in that universe and reminded me of it . would there be other movies ahead of this on the funny scale ? sure . but i would put this movie in the conversation , particularly with both combined . \u201d\n. that makes it a 24 year trip back in time . it is stated that\ni can ' t be sure , but i think the density of the f - word reaches the saturation point in\nhot tub time machine .\ni may have heard it employed as three different parts of speech in the same sentence . one wonders if american - spoken english could survive without it . what did we say in the old days ? it must have been a quiet land .\n\u201c the duff \u201d is the pg -

that was his name - and he basically invented time travel . it\u2019s actually possible . the problem is his theory of time travel , you can only travel back to when you turned the machine on . and , it\u2019s actually impossible to build a machine that big . his theory of time travel is sound , it just can\u2019t be physically done .\nmodeled after the 2009 smash hit the hangover , hot tub time machine is raunchier than it needs to be , but it ' s still very funny and very clever . older viewers who grew up on the many\nteen party\nmovies of the 1980s will especially appreciate it . focusing on three old friends who travel back in time from 2010 to a memorable weekend in 1986 , the movie goes through the motions of a carefree teen comedy , but with the added weight and perspective of adulthood .\nrob , [ director steve pink ] said you gave him a time -

out guy comedies open twice a month , and many of them are wretched excesses .\nhot tub time machine ,\nwhich wants nothing more than to be a screwball farce , succeeds beyond any expectations suggested by the title and extends john cusack ' s remarkable run : since 1983 , in 55 films , he ' s hardly ever made a bad one . well , i never saw\ngrandview , usa .\nthat left a trio of new releases fighting over the scraps . it was particularly bad news for \u201chot tub time machine 2 , \u201d which received an icy reception when it debuted on 2 , 880 screens . the raunchy comedy earned an estimated $ 5 . 8 million , roughly half of the $ 13 million it was expected to generate . the film brings back original stars rob corddry , craig robinson and clark duke , along with franchise newcomer adam scott .\nthe ' 80s weren ' t good for much , but they were great for ribald comedy \u2014 porky\u2019s , revenge of the nerds , bachelor party and a plethora of other tales appeared in the time before internet , usually of misfit teenage males getting the better of their athletically superior nemeses and winning over the girls . then , in the overly sensitive \u201990s , the subgenre all but vanished , so if you\u2019re too young to recognise these titles , download them ( legally , please ) . if you still don\u2019t understand though , hot tub time machine should do the trick .\nthe film opens in march . in its promotional campaign , mgm is placing an emphasis on word - of - mouth because it is now viewed as a vital component to a film ' s success these days , especially for r - rated comedies . ( hot tub time machine is awaiting a final mpaa rating but i have no doubt this is going to be an r - rated picture . ) the hangover was such a huge success because of its strong word of mouth .\nhot tub time machine received generally positive reviews ; review aggregate rotten tomatoes reports that 64 % of critics have given the film a positive review based on 187 reviews , with an average score of 6 . 1 / 10 [ 6 ] with the consensus that\nits flagrantly silly script\u2014and immensely likable cast\u2014make up for most of its flaws\n.

french called hot tub time machine a\nlively comedy . . . an amusing homage to the genre . . . funny , sexy . . . among its pleasures is . . .\nyeah , great , thanks , whatever . james white in sfx magazine said it was\ndisarmingly fresh and very funny\n. tom huddleston in time out called it\npost - pub perfection\n. hey , only if you don ' t particularly like women . but hey again , maybe i ' m just being selfish and mean , just like those old , selfish , ugly , stupid , vulgar whore - bitch - neurotic slut - hags in selfish in the slutty .\njermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .\nit ' s easily one of the biggest cult classic films of all time and troma entertainment ' s the toxic avenger has been in the process of being remade for a long time . producers first got the remake rights back in early 2010 , but by the end of that year , director steve pink ( hot tub time machine ) had been hired to write and direct a pg - 13 action comedy take on troma ' s very r - rated original . pink wrote the screenplay with daniel c . mitchell , their story followed an average teen who joins an environmental club in hopes to impress his crush . then while investigating a waste plant , he falls into a tub of waste and transforms into a radioactive hero . arnold schwarzenegger was even offered a role in 2013 , but it wasn ' t clear if he would play , and john travolta was even rumored to be up for a role . then last year , it was announced that pink was out as director ,\nthe movie is also a postmodern re - evaluation of the entire genre , complete with music , clothing and other artifacts of the era , but viewed through a modern - day lens . the 1980s are seen as both a simpler time , with more personal connection , but also a more superficial time . these ideas are not explored with as much clarity and depth as they could have been - - some of the characters ' problems are too easily solved via the use of the time machine - - but the result is still satisfying and entertaining .\none difference between that campaign and the campaigns that mgm is doing with hot tub time machine and what paramount did with paranormal activity is that the former is targeting the right users by engaging them on their turf and on their networks and not trying to bring the activity to their portals . sure , you still have to go to the eventful site to sign - up , but you can share trailers and other information via twitter , facebook and other services . plus , an established platform like eventful has the back - end to deal with scheduling issues that a homegrown solution might lack .\nusing a hot tub . it ' s got to be stupid . however , stupid movies can also be entertaining movies . hell , stupid movies can even be good movies , if the people making them understand the type of film they are involved with . so is that the case here ?\nanyway , as much as i enjoyed the trailer , the fact that you weren\u2019t in it never stopped being at the front of my mind . it\u2019s not that your character was one of the great all - time film characters , but he was the glue of that group \u2014 a very enjoyable group , but one that could veer towards excessively zany without a grounding force ( that\u2019s you ! ) to keep them centered . and yes , i do appreciate the irony of worrying about people being too bizarre in a movie about a time - traveling hot tub .\nthe original had an appealing , nostalgic premise : loser guys discover that the tub at their ski - vacation spa takes them back to 1986 . scott , who wasn ' t in the first tub , says he was so taken at the premiere that he all but signed on for future installments .\ni\u2019ve been quoted on the cover of dvds before , i feel duty - bound to disclose at this point , in relation to films that statistical probability seems to suggest , you might not appreciate as much as i . but this is different ; this is beyond the pale . who could say such a thing ? have they not seen many other movies ? what on earth was going through their minds ? i mean , what the hell ? i decide then and there , clutching the hot tub time machine 2 dvd , that i wouldn\u2019t be satisfied until i tracked that person down and asked for myself .\nbut it ' s not all bad \u2014 every time you just want to pour a hundred gallons of bleach into this hot tub and walk away , the movie comes out with a genuinely inventive gag . and the fact that we ' re in the future and playing with insane time - travel mechanics means that the film has license to get a lot nuttier with its concepts . like the aforementioned futuristic drugs . there ' s actually a version of back to the future 2 ' s beloved\ndrawing a timeline diagram\nsequence , as well as a lot of zany discussion of time - travel mechanics . in the context of alternate universes , fringe gets brought up a couple times . by the end of the movie , we ' re fully throwing logic out the window and embracing the full potential for lunacy in time - travel ."]}

turned - director ghouse peer has chosen an entertaining subject for his debut . the film sees diganth in an action avatar , though the director has cleverly woven a generous dose of comedy to ensure there\u2019s an entertaining subject . the film is similar to some of the entertainers from the stables of makers like rohit shetty where masala scores over meaning .\nfletch is the founder of the cine boot camps and president of the association , a film and video production company a block from warner brothers in burbank , california . urltoken has a schedule of upcoming bootcamps . fletch has won two emmys and filmed in 20 countries . his first doc won the chicago film festival and his last was featured on oprah .\nat least , if the actors showcased some good comic timing , it would have been easy to sit through the film . but diganth , sangeetha and chikkana\u2019s average performances leave the audience rather bored . the filmmaker employs a narrator who often informs the audience ( warns , actually ) about what is to follow . this narrator adopts a lackadaisical approach to the plot shunning notions of suspense throughout . we are told there will be a fight , but first we must sit through an item number . this was in fact the only saving grace in sharp shooter -

zany comedy , but a bit of a letdown overall all things considering . especially with it ' s long wait for the ghost stuff . still plenty of goofball madness to enjoy .\nit would have made more sense for me to watch the original sound version of the ghost train ( 1931 ) with the 1941 remake of the same title , because the ' 31 version is missing about 30 minutes of footage ( start and middle ) along with most of the sound discs . meaning there is only 50 minutes left of the film and only the last 20 of it with sound . thankfully this is where broad acting helps one understand what ' s going on . no matter how charming jack hulbert is , this one is simply too damaged to truly enjoy .\ndue to the moratorium imposed on horror films during the war , scary movies were issued under the comedy label \u2013 hence the involvement of arthur . this being 1941 and wartime propaganda , the train is really being used by nazi fifth columnists to secretly transport arms . all ends well with the train plunging into a river but , tragically , arthur survives . to paraphrase the germans in fawlty towers , \u201chow did we ever win ? \u201d\ntall , handsome and charming , his first career was on the stage , coming to some prominence in the 1930s , although already selling books between performances . he appeared in a dozen or more films between 1938 and 1945 , including the outsider ( 1939 ) , with george sanders ; the ghost train ( 1941 ) , with arthur askey ; a leading r\u00f4le in mr . reeder in room 13 ( 1941 ) , based on an edgar wallace story ; another leading r\u00f4le in rhythm serenade ( 1943 ) , opposite vera lynn , and bell -

a ghost train . at the time this was filmed the audiences may have gone to watch this for askey ' s comedy but i think today most of us are watching this for a comedy - horror / thriller and not so much for askey .\nthe ghost train has been fully self -

imagining of the ghost train because it was a brilliantly simple story with characters that could easily be adapted to become recognisable , relateable and interesting and it lent itself to tradition ' ghost story telling ' which is thrilling and suspenseful rather than ' gorey ' . the ghost train could also be described as a situation comedy as it explores the humour that arises from the real conversations such a diverse group of characters / ages / classes would have in this situation . this makes the film feel very naturalistic and real . the story takes place throughout one night , so the timing of it also feels very real with no big jumps or timelapse between scenes . we , as an audience see exactly how their night unfolds .\nwho stopped the train ! \u201d / \u201cyes , i don\u2019t know me own strength ! \u201d ) .\nfrasier ( season and episode unidentified ) -

- - well , there are all sorts of horrors in the world , and when it comes to the world of film few things can inflict suffering like an unfunny comedy . in this respect , 1941\u2019s the ghost train is one of the most astonishing things i have ever seen , a comedy that becomes almost hypnotic in its sheer inability to entertain .\nthe person who caused the train to stop in the first place did it on purpose because he ' s actually investigating the goings - on . . .\nbut on film , compressed and inescapable - - - \u201ccruel and unusual\u201d doesn\u2019t begin to describe the punishment dished out here . askey is no mere odious comic relief in the ghost train : he dominates the film , with the bare bones of arthur ridley\u2019s play becoming nothing more than a framework on which to hang a barrage of capering , silly voices , unfunny jokes and even a song - and - dance number . the cumulative effect is nothing less than excruciating - - - and not only for the viewer .\nthe country doctor ( 1947 ) stars bing crosby , set in maine , and has a rare scene of a maine central passenger train , pulled by a pacific , departing the portland station with its train shed .\nin this thriller , a group of stranded passengers are terrified by the weird tales of a stationmaster who tells them of the\nghost train\nthat rumbles down the darkened tracks . it turns out that phantasmal locomotive is very real and is used by a gang of arms smugglers .\nthe railrodder ( 1965 ) national film board of canada . buster keaton ventures across canada in a speeder ( handcar ) . final silent short ( 21 minutes ) comedy film . directed by gerald potterton .\nclassic ghostly comedy , starring arthur askey and based on the play by ' dad ' s army ' actor arnold ridley . when a group of mismatched train passengers are stranded at a rural station overnight , they soon hear of a sinister local legend telling of a ghostly train that passes through the area , ever since a terrible accident 43 years ago . anyone who happens to gaze upon the train will face death and disaster . when the station master is suddenly found murdered , and when a disturbed young girl arrives from the local mental hospital , the passengers are thrown into further panic when they hear the roar of the approaching ghost train . . .\nin the opening scene , the train is shown traveling on the left side track , when gander pulls the cord and stops it , it ' s on the right side track .\nthis is an old one , 1941 in fact an attemp to mix comedy and horror , didn ' t do much for me . just to much slapstick . 2 1 / 2 stars\nthe ghost train is based on the arnold ridley play , of the same name and is a true ' ghost story ' . we had been huge fans of the original and have tried to be very respectful to the original material , with many subtle ' nods ' to the play . but we ultimately felt that the ending needed a more ' ghostly ' twist . when i started to write the modern day version i was amazed how quickly it all came together and how people who have read it are truly spooked and shocked by the dramatic twist at the end !\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\nin wartime , the british film industry consciously avoided potentially upsetting or disrespectful themes , and the recently installed\nh\ncertificate almost eliminated horror movies entirely . so , when forde remade his 1931 film ten years later , humor was brought to the forefront .\nghost train [ dvd ] [ 1941 ] : urltoken arthur askey , richard murdoch , kathleen harrison , peter murray -

joe pesci and daniel sterns are back as harry and marv and once again , young kevin must outwit them . the plot is pretty similar to home alone but don ' t let that put you off - it just means you ' ve got more of the same thrills and fun to enjoy . despite being lost in the city that never sleeps , kevin again manages to find ways to outwit the relentless burglars who take countless bumps and bruises , many of which would have killed them but that ' s the fun of movies . yes , home alone 2 was a fantastic follow up to home alone and it was followed by the equally excellent home alone 3 .\nkevin finally realizes he is in new york , when he sees chrysler building from the window of the airport . chrysler building is one of the most known nyc sights .\nafter losing his family on the way to christmas vacation , kevin appears in new york and goes right to the luxury plaza hotel ( and meets donald trump there ) .\nrecycled in space ! : home alone 2 was basically exactly the same movie as home alone , just set in new york . even the scary neighbor got a direct counterpart . this was even lampshaded by harry , who mentioned that kevin threw two paint cans the last time they tried to climb up a flight of stairs , and saw it coming . unfortunately for them , the second time around , a sewer pipe followed immediately afterward . there are also several lampshades hung by way of oh , no . . . not again ! .\nthe home\u2019s original owners , john and cynthia abendshien , said columbus chose their historic , 4 , 250 square foot home while scouting locations near his home town of river forest , illinois .\ngreat christmas cd . a must have if you love the home alone movies ! well worth the price for this deluxe edition .\npractically the entire crew from this movie , also worked on home alone ( 1990 ) and only the lonely ( 1991 ) .\ntwentieth century fox , which has barely finished counting the coins from\nhome alone ,\nhas every expectation that\nhome alone 2 : lost in new york ,\nwhich opens on friday , will be an enormous christmas present to itself . parents loved kevin , the boy played by macaulay culkin , the film ' s 9 -

a - way in its own right and the soundtrack plays along with that idea beautifully . i recommend this to any home alone fan .\nthe queensboro bridge is a cantilever bridge over the east river in new york city that was completed in 1909 . it connects the neighbourhood of long island city in the borough of queens with manhattan , passing over roosevelt island .\nafter escaping from the house , marv and harry give chase to kevin through the streets of new york . there are two segments to this level .\nat the start kevin , provoked by his older brother , once again finds himself in the doghouse just before a family vacation , this time accidentally boarding the wrong plane and ending up in new york .\nhome alone 2 was no . 1 at the box office and the second -

adventure sequences i ever worked on . \u201d\nsince 1931 , the rockefeller center christmas tree has been lighting up the holidays each year for new york city residents and visitors . one of the most well known decorated christmas trees in the united states , this tree has become an iconic symbol of the holiday season in new york city . the rockefeller center christmas tree is also a major tourist attraction ; thousands come to new york each year to see the tree lighting ceremony , or just to view the tree during the several weeks when it is on display .\njoe pesci joked the sequel should be lost in hawaii : \u201c [ he ] looks for his parents while we tan on the beach . \u201d\nfollow up to the very popular home alone , home alone 2 : lost in new york is basically the same idea , but with a different twist . the main character , kevin mccallister is stranded in new york and has to outwit the burglars from the first film . as far as sequels are concerned , this sequel is just as good as the first , and that ' s rare . the cast of the first film returns in this sequel , and i think that ' s what makes this sequel work so well . not only that , but the script is well written , and the gags are just as funny as the first film . the film doesn ' t do anything new , except that it changes the setting to new york . the film is very entertaining and manages to be funny and amusing . there ' s a good cast here , and this is a fun . i really enjoyed this film as much as the first , and though it doesn ' t anything too thrilling , this is still a fun comedy that the whole family will enjoy . as far as the humor is concerned , i felt that it was slightly better than the first . screenwriter john hughes gave a lot more emphasis on the humor and developed something a tad better . the first home alone was a good film as well , but this time around they managed to perfect the formula and create something more fun , and interesting . but both films are equally good , and i don ' t have a favorite . for a sequel , home alone 2 : lost in new york is better than your regular sequel , and manages to be a lot of fun , and entertaining for the family . both films were great . i feel that the third doesn ' t really count because it was too dreadful . however , the first two home alone films are very good comedies .\nnormally i find sequels to be far less superior than their predecessors . however , home alone 2 managed to far exceed my expectations even as a young child and make me wish i too could get lost in this magical city . which i have , now that i live here . multiple times , in fact\u2026 though i was very disappointed when the crazy pigeon ladies did not want to be my friend . ( rude . ) but my point is , kevin ' s new york city experience proved to be a successful twist to the same underlying theme that the first flick embodied , making it stronger than it ever was before . but don ' t just take my word for it . here are all the ways home alone 2 proved it was the best of the franchise .\nmistaken from behind : kevin loses track of his father in the airport and follows someone wearing the same coat , which is how he winds up on the plane to new york .\nhome alone 2 : lost in new york , to me , is an excellent christmas flick . in my opinion , the traps that kevin ( macaulay culkin ) set for harry ( joe pesci ) and marv ( daniel stern ) were even more hilarious than the first . they were also more dangerous , but not that much more dangerous . i mean , kevin set two of the same traps that he did in the first home alone . personally , i thought that the plaza hotel was , indeed , luxurious and spacious . when and if i go to new york city , i ' m going to stay there , even though i know it ' s expensive . if there were two bumbling burglars were after me , i would be really scared . the one thing that really amazed me was that kevin got around new york city all by himself without getting hurt . in conclusion , i highly recommend this excellent christmas flick to all you macaulay culkin fans who have not seen it . when you see it , prepare to laugh and enjoy yourselves .\nthe early family scenes in home alone 2 are some of the movie ' s funniest moments , as are kevin ' s clever survival schemes at the hotel and on the streets of new york . as a sequel , the movie manages to be funny , if predictable , and occasionally borders on heart - warming - - in an odd yet touching moment , kevin befriends a homeless woman and encourages her to reach out to people more .\nthe first home alone was liked by everybody . i liked the first one but this is awesome . i like the adventure in this one , in fact this is better than home alone 1 . everybody thinks home alone 1 was better than this , but i think this is a little better . the booby traps were even better than the original , like there was one where marv was electrocuted . i didn ' t think home alone 3 was bad , but home alone 4 was a complete disaster . its strange how this can be called ' ' home alone 2 ' ' even though kevin is not in his own house . a 6 . 5 / 10 is underrated , so i think that should be raised a little bit more . at least they had the same criminals as the first one , because 3 had different criminals . that ' s all i can say , so overall , this movie was a great movie . i give this a 8 . 5 / 10\na novelization of the sequel to the hugely popular twentieth century fox motion picture , home alone , finds kevin mccallister having the time of his life in manhattan while his family is in florida . movie tie - in .\nthe moment where kevin is walking the streets of new york on christmas eve , stopping by the children ' s hospital . it ' s a heart - rending\nthe mcallister ' s are going on holiday , this time they lose kevin at the airport and he gets on the wrong plane his family are in florida and he is in new york . after going toy shopping , staying in an expensive hotel , and terrorising the ' wet bandits ' in his uncles empty house , he finds his family at the end . his mother finds him at a christmas tree and the whole family spends xmas in new york .\nthe chicago actor had a fairly prolific career in theater , tv and film and scored some memorable screen time in smaller roles such as the police dispatcher in & apos ; the blues brothers & apos ; and a heckler in & apos ; the babe . & apos ; he retired soon after & apos ; home alone 2 & apos ; and passed away in 1999 .\nthe toy store interior was a set built inside chicago\u2019s uptown theatre . it was modeled after new york city\u2019s fao schwarz , located across fifth avenue from the plaza .\nthe film stars macaulay culkin in the lead role as kevin mccallister once again , while joe pesci and daniel stern reprise their roles as the wet bandits , harry and marv respectively . catherine o ' hara , john heard , devin ratray , kieran culkin , gerry bamman , tim curry , rob schneider , dana ivey , and brenda fricker are also featured . home alone 3 followed in 1997 , home alone 4 followed in 2002 , and home alone : the holiday heist followed in 2012 . culkin and the rest of the cast did not appear in any of them .\nin the novelization for young sherlock holmes ( 1985 ) , watson says london is the largest and richest city in the world ;

[ 67 ] what part was buloff to play in jennie ? that we may never know .\n) . her transformation from a young girl into a mature young woman is entirely believable . she is as enchanting in the film as in the specially painted portrait commissioned to artist robert brackman . the portrait became one of selznick ' s prize possessions and he proudly displayed in their home after they married .\nportrait is a brilliant movie . its appeal is to the emotions , not the intellect . the whole cast is at their best .\ni bought portrait of jennie around the same time that i bought the time traveler ' s wife because i read some reviews of the latter that said\nthis isn ' t your parents ' portrait of jennie\nand so i was curious what my parents ' portrait of jennie was . it ' s a sweet but sad tale about an artist in 1920s new york city who meets a young girl in the park and later draws sketches of her that pique the interest of a local art dealer . the girl reappears often in his life , but always seeming quite a bit older than she was at the previous visit . she becomes something like a muse for him , and he comes to realize that she ' s visiting him from various points in time , while the jennie in his time would actually be about the same age as him . jennie seems to know that she ' s headed toward tragedy from the beginning , and the sad end somewhat parallels the time traveler ' s wife , although the latter was much more complex and intricate . this one was an enjoyable little book , though .\ni will admit that the mystery of jennie had me confused upon first viewing so i look forward to seeing this one again on the 11th to catch some of the details .\nbefore the portrait is finished , jennie has to go away again . she\u2019s gone for some time , and eben despairs of ever seeing her again . he waits by a park bench as night . when she does come again , jennie ( a sophomore in college ) admits that she\u2019s in love with eben . they walk through the streets of nyc all night , talking and wishing they could stay together for longer .\np ortrait of jennie won the gold medal award from the american schools and colleges association for mr . selznick for 1949 .

[ 61 ]\nit is reported that no less a masterful writer than f . scott fitzgerald considered robert nathan to be one of his favorite writers . that alone would have attracted my attention . i am pleased to agree that mr . nathan is a wonderful writer . portrait of jennie is probably his most famous book , owing to a very high - profile motion picture made of it from the selznick studios . as is so often the case , the movie is no substitute for the book . this is a romantic fantasy in a similar style of later writer r\nlonely and magical , portrait of jennie is often cited as a romantic fantasy masterpiece . thanks to a classic film starring joseph cotten and jennifer jones , it is the one book title by this sadly almost forgotten author which is vaguely familiar to modern readers . perhaps because there is something pure and lovely in his gentle tales , his oeuvre is incompatible with the crass harshness of modern life , and much of modern literature . that makes them no less wonderful , however , and for some readers ,\nwhen eben later encounters jennie ice skating in the park , she appears to have grown older , as though approaching her teen years . he makes further sketches after their brief encounter , and mr . mathews buys them as well . afterward , jennie appears at his apartment and twice sits for her portrait . each time she seems to have aged , and each time she manages to disappear as unexpectedly as she had appeared . during one of her visits to his small studio , she tells him that her parents . . .\nlux radio theater\nbroadcast a 60 minute radio adaptation of the movie on halloween night , october 31 , 1949 , with joseph cotten reprising his film role and anne baxter as jennie .\nan eerie love story , portrait of jennie offers superb performances from cotten , as a struggling painter , and jones , as a girl from the past with whom he falls in love . it is 1932 , the nadir of the depression , and cotten , a young painter who feels that his work lacks depth , sits glumly in new york city ' s central park , contemplating his not - so - bright future . . . . read more\nm orris rosen the head grip for selznick on portrait of jennie was the inventor of the all - angle - trackless - dolly ; not satisfied , rosen made improvements on his own work . the mount was hand driven , could move forward , sideways , backward in one operation ; he had developed and used what would become known as \u201crosie\u2019s dolly\u201d for the first time on alfred hitchcock\u2019s , the paradine case , another david selznick production .

[ 94 ]\n\u201cportrait of jennie\u201d is a film i avoided for years as so many people i knew dismissed it as a vanity piece by selznick for his girlfriend . in retrospect i think they were put off by its unabashed romanticism , which in earlier days i would have been put off by , too . poj made me realize that sometimes i don\u2019t mind being a big ol\u2019 girlie girl who watches film with the kleenex at the ready .\nsome of our favorite shots and moments of the summer happened during the day . impossible not to be delighted when the ' golden ' hour actually delivers on the promise of golden light !\nportrait of jennie is one of my favorite films . i know so many of these classics . . . almost by heart ! i ' ve seen them so many times . as a child growing up in nyc in the 1950s , there was a nightly television program called\nmillion - dollar movie\non channel 9 wor . they would show the same movie five nights in a row . the movies were often repeated . this was one of my favorites . have you seen\nsince you went away\nor\nso proudly we hail\n?

no , thriller isn\u2019t the right word . it\u2019s more like a supernatural curiosity , like a more subdued episode of the twilight zone . there is something unnatural and unusual going on in portrait of jennie . and yet , the fantastical elements of the picture do not insist upon themselves . the story is about eben and his quest to capture his muse who may or may not be a figment of his imagination . after all , only he can see her . he learns that the historical jennie died years ago in a tragic boating accident . she couldn\u2019t possibly really be there . and yet , such impossibilities are irrelevant . she is real to eben , the man who needs her most in the world .\nno . i\u2019m going to stop there . i refuse to spoil it for you . yes , there is a traditional hollywood rescue scene where eben desperately tries to save his beloved . but i\u2019m not going to tell you what happens . all i will say is that while the set - up seems to be copy and pasted from a hundred other sappy love stories , the payoff is shockingly unique . all leads to a scene set in the present day where a group of schoolchildren attend a museum exhibit of eben\u2019s work . the centerpiece is completed portrait of jennie . in a final sweep , the film briefly explodes into technicolor glory , showing that in the end eben was finally able to create a piece of art that transcended the natural world of the film to take on a life of its own .\n\u201cthe stand out feature of this collection is the diagnostic links between the content of ghost films and the ghostly techniques through which they are shot , a level of connection that puts leeder ' s text a step ahead of other purely thematic approaches to ghosts and haunted cinema .\nstreamline is the official blog of filmstruck , a new subscription service that offers film aficionados a comprehensive library of films including an eclectic mix of contemporary and classic art house , indie , foreign and cult films .\nas the weather clears , the movie is now tinted a pleasant salmon pink ( or something like that ) , and we see the lighthouse has withstood the storm . we find eben in bed recovering , still in new england , with miss spinney visiting him . whether or not she believed in jennie before , she might now . she is holding the scarf that was found on the beach , the scarf that jennie had received from eben , the scarf that she had left on the bench when she was a little girl . eben has it again , just as he has jennie , for eternity . which started a little earlier for jennie than it did for him , obviously\u2026\njennie finds the scarf , the one that eben had since their first meeting in the park , many of her years ago . it disturbs her \u2014 is it part of the things that are going to happen , as she said before ?

asleep ? just asleep , it turns out . jennie is thrilled with the portrait , but also melancholy , getting those bad feelings again when she looks at eben\u2019s lighthouse pictures . eben rhapsodizes about their love : \u201cjennie , what is it that makes a man and a woman know that of all the other men and women in the world , they belong to each other ?

the ' thalaivar ( r ) ' tribute - shah rukh khan , deepika padukone & honey singh .\nthe film is produced by muruganantham\u2019s village theatres , and udhayanidhi stalin ' s red giant movies has acquired the distribution rights .\nmahesh muthuswami , former assistant of the legendary cinematographer p c sreeram , is handling the camera . the film is edited by gopi krishna , music by ghibran and stunts by dileep subbarayan .\n. saranya ponvannan plays the role of sasikumar\u2019s mother . rama prabha , dmj rajashiman and others appear in supporting roles .\nis an action cum family drama centred on the town of srivilliputtur , which is rife with tension and conflicts among the different castes residing here , frequently erupting into violence and death .\nunfortunately , he turns out to be just like his father . though basically good at heart , he repeatedly gets into unnecessary arguments and fights , antagonising the people around him and causing his mother a lot of grief .\nmeanwhile , bharathy ( lakshmi menon ) moves into their locality and being young and pretty , she is soon being courted by hordes of men , both young and old . predictably , she falls for the one man who shows absolutely no interest in her .\nso , does the film advocate that violence begets more violence or does it preach that love conquers all ? watch the film to find out .\nthe background score by music composer ghibran beautifully brings out the essence and mood of the film , be it in the emotional scenes , the action sequences or the tender moments of love . vairamuthu has penned the lyrics for two songs and though the songs have not created any huge impact , they are lively and have catchy tunes .\ndirector muthaiah has managed to extract some great performances from all his cast . the seasoned and dedicated saranya ponvannan is a natural and effortlessly portrays the role of a grieving widow and protective mother .\nsasikumar is at his best yet again , captivating the audience in every scene with his characteristic wit , humour and charm . though relatively a newcomer , young lakshmi menon , who just celebrated her 17th birthday already has two hits ,\nis no exception . the devotion of an only child to his widowed mother , the love of a mother who would go to any lengths to protect her son , the friend who is not just a drinking buddy , the tender love between the not - so - conventional lovers , the comic relief provided by many who appear at frequent intervals and , of course , lots and lots of action make this film a real entertainer that will definitely appeal to the masses .\nwhat is a r rahman doing at a dubai mall ? reader talib sends us a picture .\nclick on the menu icon of the browser , it opens up a list of options .\nhere click on the \u201cprivacy & security\u201d options listed on the left hand side of the page .\na pop up will open with all listed sites , select the option \u201callow\u201c , for the respective site under the status head to allow the notification .\nonce the changes is done , click on the \u201csave changes\u201d option to save the changes .\nit is said that improvisation is the need of the hour in cinema , but sasikumar seems to be pushing it under the carpet by continuing to do mass -

peak periods . in california , for example , high temperatures in the central valley and low coastal temperatures near san francisco cause powerful winds to blow across the altamont pass in the summer , a period of high power demand .\nthe wind rises ,\nhayao miyazaki ' s first feature directorial effort in five years , will premiere at the venice and toronto film festivals in coming weeks , and a new trailer has piqued the curiosity of the 72 - year - old animator ' s devoted fan base .\nthe 75 turbines at the spring canyon wind farm can produce as much as 40 million kilowatt - hours of energy each month .\nin the united states , the original heyday of wind was between 1870 and 1930 , when thousands of farmers across the country used wind to pump water . small electric wind turbines were used in rural areas as far back as the 1920s , and prototypes of larger machines were built in the 1940s . when the new deal brought grid - connected electricity to the countryside , however , windmills lost out .\nharnessing the wind is one of the cleanest , most sustainable ways to generate electricity . wind power produces no toxic emissions and none of the heat - trapping emissions that contribute to global warming . this , and the fact that wind power is one of the most abundant and increasingly cost - competitive energy resources , makes it a viable alternative to the fossil fuels that harm our health and threaten the environment .\ndealing with the variability of wind on a large scale is by no means insurmountable for electric utilities . grid operators must already adjust to constant changes in electricity demand , turning power plants on and off , and varying their output second - by - second as power use rises and falls . operators always need to keep power plants in reserve to meet unexpected surges or drops in demand , as well as power plant and transmission line outages . as a result , operators do not need to respond to changes in wind output at each wind facility . in addition , the wind is always blowing somewhere , so distributing wind turbines across a broad geographic area helps smooth out the variability of the resource .\nyears after their encounter on the train , jiro and naoko meet again in a resort in the mountains . they are brought together by the wind . the wind is a presence in the film . it ruffles jiro\u2019s tousled hair and naoko\u2019s summer dresses , ripples the water in a stream , the grasses in a meadow , the leaves on the branches . it unfurls flags and fills the windsocks at the airfields . it does what it will , beyond anyone\u2019s control . the wind is the force of history . when japan was saved from a mongol invasion in the 13th century by a typhoon , the typhoon was described as a \u201cspirit\u201d or \u201cdivine\u201d wind , that is , kamikaze . in 1930s japan , it is clear that the wind is rising .\nhayao miyazaki ' s latest anime movie ,\nkaze tachinu\n( the wind rises ) , is leaving audiences with a taste for siberia \u2014 not the subarctic region of asia , but a once popular sweet that had been hard to find until the movie was released in japan .\nlooking back on his 1989 work \u201cnausicaa of the valley of the wind , \u201d miyazaki said many of the problems he had foreseen confronting the world have become reality .\nin 1941 , how green was my valley won best picture over citizen kane . i haven ' t seen disney ' s frozen , which recently won an oscar for best full -

watt turbines designed for charging up batteries on a sailboat , to 50 - kilowatt turbines that power dairy farms and remote villages . like old farm windmills , these small wind turbines often have tail fans that keep them oriented into the wind .\nmind you , before gordon -

face from \u201cspirited away\u201d were exploded into a technicolor assessment of our civilization as a whole , \u201cthe wind rises\u201d is an indelible reminder that the only way we dishonor the things we\u2019ve lost is by forgetting how necessary it was for us to love them .\nstory ( 7 / 10 ) : the wind rises details the journey of jirou horikoshi as he walks through the many stages of life . his central goal is to become an airplane designer , and much of the plot is spent detailing this process . through flashback sequences where jirou talks with a famous italian designer in\none explanation for the sensitivity ? although \u201cthe wind rises\u201d has a strong pacifist message , it is essentially a biopic of jiro horikoshi , an aeronautical engineer whose contribution to the world was a killing machine . his designs led to the mitsubishi a6m zero fighter , which was used to devastating effect during world war ii .\nthe modern wind era began in california in the 1980s . between 1981 and 1986 , small companies and entrepreneurs installed 15 , 000 medium - sized turbines , providing enough power for every resident of san francisco . pushed by the high cost of fossil fuels , a moratorium on nuclear power , and concern about environmental degradation , the state provided tax incentives to promote wind power . these , combined with federal tax incentives , helped the wind industry take off . after the tax credits expired in 1985 , wind power continued to grow , although more slowly . perhaps more important in slowing wind power ' s growth was the decline in fossil fuel prices that occurred in the mid - 1980s .\nalong with jir\u014d\u2019s biography , miyazaki portrays the devastating kant\u014d earthquake , the effects of the great depression , a tuberculosis outbreak , and the political ramifications of japan\u2019s entrance into the war . despite being steeped in a rich and controversial cultural - historical background , \u201cthe wind rises\u201d is apolitical . even though the baggage of designing warplanes is not forgotten , it does not hinder the beauty of the film itself .\nthe wind rises , a fictional biography of the designer of japan\u2019s famous zero fighter plane , and the swansong of japanese director miyazaki hayao , is a movie unlike any he has made and yet absolutely true to his preoccupations . nick bradshaw looks back at the turbulent dreams of flight , freedom and progress in the great japanese animator\u2019s films .\namong the subsidies the department is examining is a production tax credit that allows most wind farms to shave pennies off the price of each kilowatt - hour they send to the grid . though flattening demand for electricity and cheap natural gas are the main forces depressing wholesale energy prices , the credit means that wind producers can often offer their power to the market at the lowest price . sometimes , when energy demand is low and wind is strong , the credit can drive the effective price below zero .\nstudio ghibli co -

based animated family movies such as\nspirited away ,\nponyo\nand\nhowl ' s moving castle ,\nthe wind rises\nis a biopic of jiro horikoshi , the designer of the zero fighter plane , which the japanese used during world war ii .\nthe title comes from a paul val\u00e9ry poem : \u201cthe wind is rising ! we must try to live . \u201d the wind is a portent for the disasters that anchor the film : the 1923 earthquake that levelled much of tokyo and yokohama , killing over 100 , 000 people ; and japan\u2019s terrible war nearly two decades later .\nmiyazaki is best known for animation , but he & apos ; s also acclaimed for his comics work over his long career . he was illustrating manga as far back as the late 1960s and most famously wrote and illustrated seven volumes of nausica\u00e4 of the valley of the wind ( which later received an animated feature ) . in fact , the wind rises is based on a miyazaki manga of the same name about jiro horikoshi , the designer of the world & apos ; s first monoplanes .\nin the wind rises , anime master hayao miyazaki adds his own memories and obsessions to the real life of jiro horikoshi and the writings of tatsuo hori . the result is a complex film of great beauty , one that has angered the right wing in japan for its attitude toward 1930s militarism , and disappointed others worldwide for its failure to show the consequences of the hero\u2019s quest .\nso , what are individuals to do when the wind rises ? fight back ? disappear ? it seems miyazaki believes we should recognize that we are powerless against the winds of history . we are to work to fulfill our dreams , to behave decently , to love deeply\u2014to try to live , while the tempest rages .\nannounced that he would retire after the release of\nthe wind rises\n, marking his sixth such announcement . since then , many rumors have circulated stating that he has announced his return to feature films once again - however , these are unfounded and based on pure speculation from ghibli co - founder\nturbines at the spring canyon wind farm outside peetz , colo . the farm is owned by invenergy , and produces energy under contract to xcel energy .\nnow politics , not skepticism , may be wind power\u2019s biggest barrier . under new leadership with ties to conventional energy interests , the energy department is scrambling to complete an internal study in the next month that could lead to an upending of the policies that fostered the rapid spread of solar and wind .\nfrom the outside , horizontal axis wind turbines consist of three big parts : the tower , the blades , and a box behind the blades , called the nacelle . inside the nacelle is where most of the action takes place , where motion is turned into electricity . large turbines don ' t have tail fans ; instead they have hydraulic controls that orient the blades into the wind ."]}

ray\ni recently saw this film on cable a few days ago and realized that it wasn ' t as bad as i originally thought . whereas the first two films in the beverly hills cop series were more dramatic and serious , this was pokes fun at itself and is a comedy . if you can take this turn towards the comedic in stride , then you will enjoy beverly hills cop iii . for example , there is the running joke that axel goes to wally world and when he calls billy and tells him he ' s going to wally world after he has an arrest warrant , billy is at first\naxel , you have to turn yourself in\nwith policemen looking on in his police office - then -\nno ! wait for me !\nlike he ' s going to be left out ! it ' s lines and situations like these that make this part iii so funny . and serge ' s cameo is a hoot ! recommended !\non the late show with david letterman ( 1993 ) in 2011 , david read a list of some movies from eddie ' s filmography . when this movie was mentioned , and the audience clapped and cheered , eddie said ,\nno . no . it wasn ' t a very good beverly hills cop movie .\nthe incident occurred after the young men -

up gunplay that beverly hills cop ii was , this new movie , directed by john \u201drock - \u2019em sock - \u2019em\u201d landis , is just a clunky action thriller , with occasional comic moments rationed out to the audience like stray crumbs . investigating a murder , axel foley ( murphy ) , the renegade detroit police detective , arrives in los angeles and infiltrates a popular theme park called wonderworld . there , he sniffs out a counterfeit ring run by the dullest collection of sinister white guys since george bush\u2019s cabinet . the plot is generic nonsense , and by now it\u2019s just a threadbare pretense that foley is a \u201dfish out of water\u201d in high -

comedy until eddie signed on .\nbronson pinchot will forever be best known as the zany , loveable goofball immigrant from the hit \u201980s sitcom perfect strangers , but he\u2019s racked up an impressive r\u00e9sum\u00e9 of character roles in film , stage , and television . a yale graduate , pinchot made his film debut in the 1983 cult classic risky business , and went on to appear in a slew of memorable \u201980s films , including 1984\u2019s beverly hills cop , where he stole scenes from eddie murphy ; 1984\u2019s the flamingo kid ; and martin scorsese\u2019s brilliant 1985 dark comedy after hours . but perfect strangers made pinchot a household name . after the show ended , pinchot popped up in 1993\u2019s true romance , 1994\u2019s beverly hills cop iii , and 1996\u2019s courage under fire and the first wives club . in 2007 , pinchot played a snooty art critic who learns valuable life lessons in mr . art critic , which has just been released on dvd .\nlondon ) , doesn ' t even try to duplicate the mix of hard - edged action and dark humor that propelled beverly hills cop . though we mostly remember axel ' s cheekiness , the original was a solid fish - out - of - water police thriller with a tough - minded subtext ; axel ' s investigation was the real thing , and the\nwriter derek haas told moviehole recently that \u201dcop 4\u201d started out as something completely original \u2013 but was retooled for axel foley . \u00e2\u20ac\u02dc\u00e2\u20ac\u2122michael [ brandt ] and i wrote a spec script called dying day , a dark action movie about two fbi field agents in la who discover their whole office is crooked . paramount bought it and asked us to convert it into the next axel foley movie\u2026 which sounded like a cool challenge . . someone at a different website reviewed our first draft of the [ beverly hills cop ] script and railed on it for not having any jokes . no shit ! like with the first beverly hills cop , we\u2019re writing a straight up action movie that works as a police thriller , then eddie murphy is going to come in later and point out where he thinks he can riff . we haven\u2019t gotten to that point yet . \u00e2\u20ac\u2122\u00e2\u20ac\u2122\nbeverly hills cop is a reminder to everyone what an amazing talent eddie murphy was before he got in hollywood ` s grips and took too much to heart of the negative reviews from critics . this movie along with the even better part 2 , both of his stand up movies and both 48 hrs movies , especially the first one , are perfect reminders of that .\n10 . the producers had to take a guess what the beverly hills police department would look like . on the dvd commentary for the first film , director martin brest notes that they were unable to gain access to actually see the beverly hills police department , so they had to simply guess what it might look like inside . brest says he wanted it too look as different from the detroit set as possible and the set crew was told to make it look like \u201cprivate security for rich people . \u201d\nbeverly hills cop 3 is an enjoyable movie with a decent storyline and a good comedic cast . its certainly not better than the first two beverly hills cop but it ' s still has good comedy and action . my main problem is that eddie murphy just didn ' t seem as inspired this time around , he made axel in to a much more serious character , i ' m not sure if that ' s how the script was written but i think it was just his acting , definitely one of murphy ' s most dull performances , he is usually much more lively . however there still are scenes where axel foley had me laughing out loud and murphy was really in character , particularly the scene where he accidentally ends up in stage and starts dancing with the costumed characters . i really enjoy the beverly hills cop movies and hope a fourth one is someday made , murphy ' s age will not be a problem because he still looks great and still plays very lively characters in his movies . fans of the first two will without a doubt be disappointed , but should definitely watch it because the characters and story is still good . axel foley ( eddie murphy ) returns to beverly hills to find the men who killed his boss , and finds out the case is much more difficult when it leads him to a theme park where the same men are making counterfeit money within the park .\njudge reinhold returns as axel ' s beverly hills police pal , billy rosewood , and hector elizondo is a new family - man character , replacing sergeant taggart in the earlier films . these men don ' t have much to do until the final shootout .\nwhat\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s that mean ? for a start it means rosewood and taggart ! you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve likely already heard that the former ( played by judge reinhold ) will return ( and i won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t say what he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be getting up to in this one ) , but you may be surprised to hear that john ashton\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s being coaxed back to play the character he retired after \u00e2\u20ac\u02dc\u00e2\u20ac\u2122beverly hills cop ii\u00e2\u20ac\u009d ( 1987 ) .\nwhile harold faltermeyer did not return to score this film , his song co -

office bummers . murphy seems sweetly humbled , ready to work for laughs , as if he knows\nbeverly hills cop iii\nmay be his last chance to win his dwindling audience back . directed by john landis , who made\ntrading places\nand\ncoming to america\nwith murphy ,\nbhc3\nis formulaically continued on page 44 from page 42 funny and violent , the most lackluster entry in the franchise .\ni would just like to say that this is a very very good movie along with the other 2 beverley hills cop movies . the 1st 2 are definately far superior to beverley hills cop 3 , but never the less this movie is still very good . the return of serge is a god move as it brings back plenty of laughs and the use of a theme park is also a very good move as not many films use a hideout which is family orientated . this film is hilarious and if anyone disagrees then please e - mail me .\ncan ' t be a true transgressor . that wouldn ' t be nice . in fact , wonderworld does what beverly hills never did ; it draws axel ' s claws and transforms him into its newest resident , a clever fox character whose launch axel watches with pure delight .\nthe film is all but forgettable when it comes to plot \u2013 and its effect on the cinema landscape is minimal at best . in fact , it only has a 10 % \u201cfresh\u201d rating on rotten tomatoes . it was also a flop at the box office , losing $ 8 million domestically . it eventually made money after being released worldwide \u2013 but was still the least successful of the three \u201cbeverly hills cop\u201d films .\nbeverly hills cop iii is the worst in what was a promosing action comedy franchise . murphy was in a carrer slump and i guess he made this film to help out his carrer but it didn ' t help just sunk it deeper . the film is full of mistakes such as the loss of don simpson and jerry bruckhiemer a weak script and a lack of action . john landos who worked with murphy before and made good films fails here . the film needed a good action director like renny harlin or dwight h . little or even karthyn bigelow . skip this one even if you ' re a die hard murphy fan .\n\u201cthen , another 48 hrs was reactive . i got fucked up on harlem nights so it was , like , \u2018okay , let\u2019s do something that\u2019s a sure hit . is cop iii ready ? coming to america again ? \u2019 the idea was contrived and we threw it together , and they wrote these big checks out , and we did it . \u201d\nwhile paramount may be making moves to avoid going head - to - head with batman v superman : dawn of justice at the box office , the fact that there\u2019s no replacement release date indicates a deeper issue . most likely , the delay is due to script concerns . back in january , murphy made it very clear that he\u2019s not going to touch a beverly hills cop sequel until the script is in perfect form .\non close inspection , my friends ' lists provided many , many examples of the embarrassing\nannie hall = mean girls\nphenomenon\u2014mysterious critical binaries in which incongruous films are given identical ratings , yoked together regardless of any obvious considerations of quality , style , or genre . one friend gave four stars to both elephant man and father of the bride . another equated a documentary about the french philosopher jacques derrida with beverly hills cop iii . admittedly , translating the nuances of your response to a film onto a five -

year - old girl with a troubled past . her best friend amy herman is unpopular and socially awkward , and clings to her relationship with megan as a lifeline to social acceptance . they go to parties , chat on cell phones , share secrets with each other , and spend time online . one day , megan is introduced by an online friend of hers to a boy by the name of josh . the two of them bond quickly , and megan finds herself attracted to him , telling amy about him and eventually agreeing to meet him . megan vanishes soon after , never to be seen again .\nsunday , january 14 , 2007 \u2013 megan tells amy that josh did not show up to the party . when megan chats with josh , he tells her that he was at the party , but he chickened out of introducing himself because she was so attractive . later that evening , megan has amy join her chat with josh . after amy leaves , josh and megan agree to meet behind the local diner .\nfor some reason megan is missing feels like the horror movie the horror community has forgotten . everyone remembers the full body creeps they felt while watching . everyone has those scenes from the end of the movie etched into their mind forever . this is one of the scariest movies from the past 10 years and no one talks about it .\nthursday , january 18 , 2007 \u2013 amy records a video diary refuting the idea that megan ran away .\nfriday , january 19 , 2007 \u2013 the police release security camera footage from the diner showing megan\u2019s abduction .\nnothing is scarier : after megan ' s second webcam chat with josh , she leaves her room , but the camera remains on , giving the feeling that josh is still silently watching . it lasts for about 15 seconds and is just . . . creepy .\nall these scenes are just a prelude , however , to the last 22 minutes of the film . in a moment of plot absurdity , the kidnapper leaves behind a camera and film that are found by police . on that video we find out what happens to both amy and megan , and \u201cmegan is missing\u201d turns to the most extreme type of exploitation horror . we see a young girl being degraded , raped , and more . and by the time we finally \u201cfind\u201d megan , we\u2019re too numb to be shocked .\nfyi , the media loves to exploit missing white girls for all they ' re worth . not so much anyone with darker skin though .\ni truly thank you michael for this film ! i also thank your cast and crew for the tolerance to stand up for the missing . .\nyeah zocial , brutal is right . it makes me think of missing kids in a whole different light , and by that i mean it ' s all the more horrific to hear about now .\nmegan and amy are intentionally painted as two stereotypical fourteen - year - olds . megan is the slightly promiscuous popular girl with a tumultuous home life and trendy interests . her best friend amy is still busily holding on to childhood for as long as possible , with a bed so full of stuffed animals that it barely has room for her .\n\u201cmegan is missing , \u201d written and directed by michael choi , is a horror film that wants so desperately to be something more . it wants to be an expos\u00e9 of today\u2019s youth in america and a wakeup call to parents . it wants to be an important statement about our society and the risks inherent in young girls having too much exposure to the internet and too little supervision\u2026\nwell damn , jenny , your story is just like megan , except it had a happy ending . it ' s good to see a happy ending for a change : )\na body with experience and is an expert in films , like the film producers ' association , is required to determine the rating because it is not an easy task .\ntauranga police have concerns for 42 - year - old man justin peter shine ( pictured ) , who has been missing since yesterday at 1 . 20pm .\ni recently watched this movie with my mother . it messed with my mind . i thought it was a great message . i ' m 17 , and have experienced with chat rooms , but lemme tell ya , i will never ever do that again . after seeing a disturbing movie like megan is missing , it ' s opened my eyes .\nrecently , the new zealand herald spoke to new zealand ' s very own pet detective , megan denize - a . k . a . inspector spot - who works hard to find lost pets , establishing her agency after fostering hundreds of animals and discovering one in three pets goes missing .\njosh kidnaps and kills megan , he then kidnaps , rapes , tortures , and kills amy when she goes looking for her . he gets away and is never brought to justice for his actions\njosh manages to dispose of megan ' s body and kill amy in one fell swoop when he buries the barrel containing her corpse as well as amy herself . while amy is still alive .\ngossip is in the air about don ' s party . megan feels blue about the weekend ' s events . lane finds a missing wallet . joan deals with her insecurities and finds solace in a surprising someone . pete feels he needs a new office . harry lands himself in hot water . don has a revelation about work . roger makes an offer .\ni ' m only 14 and my friend is only 13 . we watched megan ' s missing today . it didn ' t like make me have nightmares ( i don ' y know about my friend ) , but i did get really paranoid so did she . so this helped me . a lot . thank you , so much for writing this down .\nwe learn the extremely unfortunate fate of the two girls in some very gruesome and very nsfl found footage scenes near the end . ( if you haven\u2019t seen it , be warned that these scenes are disturbing ) . it\u2019s the kind of cautionary tale that never really leaves you . for the rest of your life when someone says they met someone on line this is what pops into your head . this is what good horror should do . megan is missing turns the ordinary into something completely terrifying .\nwe find out that megan was abused when she was 9 , which pretty much set her life on a course for self - destruction . so , despite being a moron , we can ' t help but feel for her , and neither can amy . amy is drawn to the wilder lifestyle that megan leads , because she isn ' t wild at all , and megan wants the normalcy of amy ' s life , because she is . somehow through all of that they form a pretty solid bond , and fill in each others gaps . figuratively , pervs . although that is a funny pun .\nafterwards , megan complains that she is not liked at the office and wonders if she ought to stop working there . don tells her he does not care about work , he only cares about her .\njosh stuffs amy into a barrel with megan ' s rotting corpse and then buries her alive . he isn ' t caught , either .\nwild teen party : the house party at the beginning of the film , where megan performs fellatio and amy pukes after drinking too much .\nuh does anyone remember before the last 22 minutes those pictures of the\nmegan\ncharacter ? ! that alone gave me the chills .\nif i had to guess , i ' d say that megan was josh ' s first kill . a few things suggest this . first , the photos . josh was clearly proud of his work ; the pillory and headgear were obviously items of his own construction . he wanted to show off . he was careless . many killers are the first time . second , all signs point to him having kept megan in the basement for a lot longer than he kept amy . i ' d guess this primarily because megan ' s body , while in bad shape once we see her in the barrel , had not yet advanced beyond putrefaction to decomposition . this suggests that megan had probably been in the barrel no longer than a week . if one assumes that he kept amy in the basement for about four or five days , and megan was missing for three weeks prior to that , well , do the math . additionally , megan appeared to have been the victim of slow starvation in the second photo .\nthe only problem i had with this review is you stayed amy was the one who got abused at a young age when i watched the movie it was megan doing a monologue to amys diary about how here step dad raped her for 2 years . megan was popular and amy was unloved and just acknowledged because of her friendship with megan so not both were popular . but it ' s all true teenage girls are morons and i have to wonder how some make it through alive .\ni just watched megan is missing on netflix and have saved it so that all 3 of my young adult children can watch this . as two of them have very young daughters , young boys are not safe or immune from much the same . may not have been based on one true story , sadly enough it is based on numerous true storys . pray for our children and watch how we allow them to interact with strangers and conduct themselves .\nabusive parents : megan ' s mother is extremely verbally and psychologically abusive , throwing tantrums and breaking her stuff when she gets angry . and let ' s not even get started on her stepfather . . .\nno shame in that , bluemoon . mim is a tough one to stomach , and the last 22 minutes or so is really disturbing .\njosh is a disturbingly realistic portrayal of a stalker in film , as he ' s emotionally manipulative to megan to fool her , and underneath the charm , he is incredibly ruthless underneath . he kills amy so she does not find out where she lives , despite promising to let her go .\nthe movie is written and directed by michael goi , an award - winning director , screenwriter and cinematographer whose works include glee , web therapy , scream queens and american horror story . it follows a 13 - year - old named amy herman ( amber perkins ) , a socially awkward girl who is friends with the school\u2019s popular girl megan stewart ( rachel quinn ) . because she is unpopular among the two , amy clings to megan as her entry into a life of hard partying , drugs , alcohol and sex .\ni find it funny that many of you are so paranoid about\nchatting online with strangers\n, yet that ' s exactly what you ' re doing when you comment on blog posts . it ' s rather silly . there ' s a difference between reasonable cautiousness and hysteria . megan is missing shouldn ' t make you afraid of the internet anymore than friday the 13th should make you afraid of summer camp .\ntuesday , january 2 , 2007 \u2013 14 -

year - old megan meets on webcam . they bond immediately , and though josh doesn ' t show his face , megan decides to meet him in the person behind a diner . when she disappears , amy decides to investigate by talking to josh personally . she finds his answers about megan suspicious and tells the cops . when the police decide to investigate , josh becomes more hostile to amy and tells her to keep her mouth shut , threatening her life .\nmegan and amy are best friends . they share secrets . they chat with guys online . and in a few days , they will never be seen again .\nover the course of the next three weeks , amy provides some key information to police about josh ' s online courtship of megan and , as happens sometimes , her cover is blown by a nancy grace style crime show . this results in josh threatening amy . amy is stalked , and , after making a particularly stupid decision ( very common in this film ) , is abducted .\nthat puts him in an unfortunate , although unique , position to offer perspective on the subject matter of \u201cmegan is missing . \u201d klaas is spot on when he succinctly categorizes writer / director michael goi\u2019s \u201cfound footage\u201d movie as \u201ca difficult , but important , film to watch\u201d as well as \u201c . . . a deadly , toxic cocktail that deserves attention and discussion . \u201d his comments are not an endorsement of the production as horror entertainment , but are testimony to its raw impact in depicting all too real terror .\nthe 35 -

revenge movie i spit on your grave which was also banned in the country , reported by urltoken .\ni just watched this movie . . i found it on netflix , had no idea what it is about and it was 3 am . i figured ill watch a dumb teenage horror flick that is filmed like paranormal activity . . . omg now i cant go to bed . . i think im scared of the internet for good . . . @ _ @ i think i should try to fall asleep to a disney movie . . last 22 mins was brutal . . i use to date online and i met my boyfriend online . . . i dont think i can ever online date again . . thanks megan is missing ! !\na more minor artistic element i noticed was that during the news coverage at one point there was a scrolling memo on the bottom saying a child from crenshaw ( assuming this is a bad neighborhood in la ) was abducted from their home while family was watching tv . i think that similar missing persons cases happens in poorer neighborhoods and not enough is done to prevent it and investigate .\nmegan stewart 14 was a beautiful young teenager who drank and sometimes did drugs . when she was nine her stepfather raped her and he did it for trwo more years . when she tried to tell her mother she never believed her and alsways called her a liar . when he finally went to jail megans mom blamed her for that too . megan has two friends that sleep with grown men , and go to parties and other things . amy herman , megans good friend always hung out with megan but did not go to parti\naccording to reuters , which spoke with yu in an interview , china claims that its internet management is not only lawful , but is designed to safeguard the public .\nif someone ' s had a lot to drink at work and then they ' ve gone out particularly with other work colleagues it may well be their safety is still something that ' s the employer ' s responsibility ,\nemployment lawyer megan richards said .\nmegan and don return to the office , where megan acts particularly cold towards don . caroline is waiting with a plant , a present for don and tells him she heard great things about the party . roger mocks don by singing a rendition of\nfr\u00e8re jacques\nwhile flouncing around . in a partners meeting in pete ' s office , pete complains about his office - - he claims it is too small and not worthy of entertaining clients . he hints that he wants roger ' s , but the partners refuse .\nbefore discussing the supposed \u201cmessage\u201d of \u201cmegan is missing , \u201d i should mention that this is a flawed film on just about every level . the conversations between the girls are inane and insipid . with the exception of quinn and perkins - - who give very brave performances - - the acting ranges from wooden to embarrassing . worst of all , at the end of this film we are subjected to a scene showing nothing but a man\u2019s feet as he digs a hole in the dirt . this scene lasts more than ten minutes ( no , i am not exaggerating ) .\nthe sad thing is a lot of girls i know found the rape scene hot .\nconsultant cardiologist at a leicester ' s glenfield hospital and his wife is a gp .\nthis movie was inspiring to me it was alittle scary thought when i finished seeing it me and my little sister couldnt sleep over ever walk alone . . . . it jus makes me think why is there bad ppl do we deserve it why do these sick ppl do it . . . . any who the scariest part was showing the pics of megan with her mouth wideopen it made me scream and the second picture but also megan in the barrel\ngail is having coffee with apollo , the building ' s plumber , who is holding her grandson kevin . when joan returns home , she is displeased that gail allowed a dirty stranger to hold her son . after apollo leaves , joan and gail argue . gail threatens to leave but joan is unfazed , saying that she got\n[ her ] money ' s worth .\nto retaliate , gail shows joan the ad don and roger placed in the newspaper , not knowing it ' s meant to be a joke . she convinces joan that scdp are out to replace her . she also reminds joan that megan invited her to don ' s party at the last minute and theorizes that megan is threatened by joan and will not want joan around her husband . joan begins to worry about returning to work .\nin addition , there are major plot holes and leaps in logic . after megan goes missing , for example , why does amy wait four days to report what she knows about josh to the authorities ? why do the police parade her in front of the press after she makes her statement ? why wouldn\u2019t her parents do more to protect her after finding out there may be an internet stalker that she reported to the police ?\nfull story : lese majeste in thailand . . . criticising the monarchy is a serious crime\nthe faceless : josh ' s face is never shown . we only hear his voice .\nthis film is a true eye opener and should be shown in schools and at home .\ni have to say this is easily the most talked about horror flick of the year .\nthe green party is also asking if cctv surveillance on farms and slaughterhouses should be considered .\nbut kim campbell of the manufacturers association believes banning after -

minute digging scene . nothing she could ever say would dissuade him from completing his task . he kills her because it is possible to do so . he does it in the most awful way imaginable because he can , and because she is powerless to stop him . this is the truly frightening aspect of this film that cannot be easily articulated . it is not that amy dies , or that megan shares her awful tomb , it ' s that it was preventable , and the actions of one man made it inevitable .\ni agree with your review 100 % . i just watched this movie and i have to admit i have known about it for awhile i just didn ' t think i could watch it . it hit a little to close to home for me . my name is megan and her and i share a birthday . but i ' m glad i watched it . i had to look away at times , even pause it and distract myself for a moment . someone earlier had said that what people need in these day ' s is shock . they need the raw truth throw in their faces . sure , we would all love to just live in ignorance but ignorance is what ' s going to have you or someone you care about on that missing persons list . . . anywho ! ! ! i thought it was a very informing movie .\nwith two young boys it scares the heck out of me . i am very watchful of my kids and teach them well , i don ' t ever have my eyes off of them . i don ' t know what i ' d do if one of them went missing . . .\nactors this young and this inexperienced are rarely this good or this convincing . amber perkins looks the part of intelligent and reliable friend amy . the way the light extinguishes in her eyes when she suddenly numbs on camera to the terrifying reality of her irreversible situation is heartbreaking . michael goi pulls similar subtleties out of rachel quinn\u2019s megan . watching the way her glib mood changes to dour with downcast eyes while discussing her home life feels genuine . it is smart characterization of one girl willingly putting herself in a dangerous situation and one girl who is unwillingly pulled in .\nthe police investigate her disappearance , but with few to no leads , they begin to assume that nothing untoward happened to her and that she simply ran away . but amy believes otherwise , and after a chat with josh raises suspicions about megan ' s fate and security camera footage reveals that megan was abducted , amy reports him to the police , which re -

( 1906 ) directed by j . h . martin \u2022 reviews , film + cast \u2022 letterboxd\nauthors who were well known for exposing the fraud in spiritualism included the magician william robinson author of spirit slate writing and kindred phenomena , joseph mccabe author of is spiritualism based on fraud ? , frank podmore the author of modern spiritualism : a history and criticism and the book the follies and frauds of spiritualism by walter mann .\nno doubt a great importance in the paranormal field is the problem of fraud . the field of psychic research and spiritualism has been so notoriously full of charlatans , such as the fox sisters and\nspiritualism is the belief that one can contact the dead through a medium leading a s\u00e9ance . the various tricks mediums use to perform this apparent miracle are described below .\nthe film ' s main title , is spiritualism a fraud ? is followed by the emphatic subtitle the medium exposed , and an opening sequence that shows the alleged medium conspiring with his bewigged friend prior to the seance that he ' ll be masterminding . mere seconds into the film , the answer to the question is an unambiguous\nyes\n, and the remaining few minutes reinforces this view .\nthere is a long history of fraud in spiritualist practices such as those found in mediumship and s\u00e9ances . many mediums have been caught using tricks and even using theatrical props in their s\u00e9ances to convince their audience of the presence of spirits . on the subject of fraud paul kurtz wrote :\ni think that it is about time that the truth of this miserable subject \u201cspiritualism\u201d should be brought out . it is now widespread all over the world , and unless it is put down soon it will do great evil . i was the first in the field and have the right to expose it .\npresences . s\u00e9ances always take place in darkness , so the poor lighting conditions become an easy opportunity for fraud .\na belief in a god , often referred to as\ninfinite intelligence\n.\nthere are people who pretend , quite wrongly , that dead people can speak . which they can ' t . they ' re dead . they won ' t talk to you , they ' re dead . but there are people , a class of fraud , and i ' m saying this directly into camera , you are a fraud . if you are a medium , you are fraudulent , and . . .\ndavid is using letterboxd to share film reviews and lists with friends . join here .\nall this , of course , is conjecture , as we know little of booth and paul ' s actual views ( and it ' s not completely certain that booth directed the film , as it ' s also been attributed to j . h . martin ) , but it seems likely that their film was intended to be read as an attack on spiritualism in general . the chase scene concludes with a very public humiliation as the fake medium ( who has already suffered the indignity of being boxed up and thrown down the stairs ) is tied to a chair and placed on a cart to create a makeshift tumbril , on which he is paraded through the streets as a warning to others .\nsorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .\nbut the severest blow that spiritualism has ever received is delivered to - day through the solemn declarations of the greatest medium of the world that it is all a fraud , a deception , a lie . this statement is made by mrs . margaret fox kane , who has been able , through long training and early muscular development , to produce peculiar rappings and knocks which were affirmed to be spiritual manifestations , and which were so skillfully done as to baffle all attempts at discovery . it was this woman , then margaret fox , and the most expert of the world - famous \u201cfox sisters , \u201d who was first brought before the public as a medium . her tour of the great cities of the united states is historical . she was seen by most of the prominent theologians , physicians and professional men , but there was not one who could solve the mysterious power that seemed to possess her nor imitate her alleged spiritual rappings .\na hot reading is when the medium is provided with some background information on their subject . for example , they may be provided the name of the dead person or details on the location . this can backfire , such as in the case when tv medium derek acorah contacted a fake ghost that had been invented by a sceptical member of his production crew . [ 6 ]\ncold reading is a process in which the medium has little to no information regarding their subject , so they must rely on guesses . although guesses would seem random and easy to spot , many people are tricked into believing that the medium is indeed talking to the dead . this process is facilitated by the subject ' s willingness to cooperate in order to assuage their grief by communicating with a dead friend or relative . this approach works well on a crowd , since this increases the chances of someone seeing relevance in the guesses . subjects are very good at volunteering information , particularly when correcting errors , and the medium will feed this information back to them later in the reading . many subjects don ' t even realise this is happening , and tend to ignore the times when a medium is wrong , concentrating entirely on the random successes - this is known as selective reporting .\nthere is no scientific evidence that spirits can communicate through mediumship . there has been over one hundred years ' investigation into mediumship and so far all results have proven natural explanations such as fraud and psychological factors , not spirits coming through . spiritualists are well known for quote mining early reports from parapsychologists and the society for psychical research ( spr ) in defence of the view that spiritualism has been scientifically proven . there are problems with this as most members of the spr did not endorse the view that spirits can communicate with mediums and the minority of experiments which claimed to have proven spiritualism were never replicated by any other scientists .\nresearch and empirical evidence from psychology for over a hundred years has revealed that where there is not fraud , mediumship and spiritualistic practices can be explained by psychological factors . trance mediumship which is claimed by the spiritualists to be caused by discarnate spirits speaking through the medium have been proven in cases to be personalities from the medium ' s subconscious mind . [ 13 ] [ 14 ] the psychologist andrew neher wrote\nthere is no conclusive evidence that mediums or psychics have produced phenomena that are not explainable in terms of either deception of ordinary psychological processes .\n[ 15 ]\nmost nineteenth - century mediums were caught out in fraud at some point in their careers . ( owen , 2004 ) . mediums would even use acrobatic techniques during s\u00e9ances to convince audiences of\nin addition to the evident quackery there is a more ( shall we say ) bodily side to the history of spiritualism . many female mediums of the 19th century took part in sexual activities with their male audiences in the s\u00e9ance room . [ 3 ] eusapia palladino and eva carri\u00e8re were both known for their erotic and sexual behavior in the s\u00e9ance room . [ 4 ]\nsome mediums who perform trance mediumship claim that spirits take over their body and consciousness to communicate with people in the s\u00e9ance room . it is clear that many mediums fake these trances , but unconscious fraud by an alternate personality from the medium ' s subconscious mind has also been suggested by some psychologists and psychical researchers .\non october 21 , 1888 , margaret , done with traveling , wrote to the new york world . she explained that everything the fox sisters had done was a fraud . they had begun in their house by pulling an apple connected to a string , and eventually discovered that by snapping toe joints against wood , the sound would resonate throughout the house . it is speculated that at the time of the confession , there were 8 million spiritualists in the united states .\nanother investigator , harlow gale , reported that many attenders of a s\u00e9ance claimed to see jesus , an italian girl playing a harp and a dove bringing herbs in an envelope to a s\u00e9ance sitter . gale and his wife who were at the s\u00e9ance wrote they had not observed any of these things . [ 17 ]\na belief that the soul continues to exist after the death of the physical body .\nspiritualists believe in communicating with the spirits of dead people . according to spiritualism mediums are humans gifted to do this , often through seances . they believe that spirits are capable of growth and perfection , progressing through so called\nhigher spheres\nor\nplanes\nin the afterlife and that anyone may become a medium through study and practice .\na medium is someone who claims to speak with spirits . it ' s the main belief of spiritualism . most mediums are charlatans helping people to part with their money and have been exposed as using tricks . while the majority of mediums claim psychic powers , there are a few - known as mentalists - who are honest about their use of the psychological principles and tricks that it is almost certain that the\nreal\nmediums actually use . some mediums may even be unaware that they ' re using these techniques and genuinely believe they have special powers - the rest that are well aware that they ' re not really speaking with spirits from the spirit world but are usually considered to be the most reviled . some of the tricks that mediums use include :\nperhaps the best tool to reveal mediums as less than accurate is a record of the entire session , ideally a recording or written transcript . a review of this record will reveal the sheer number of incorrect guesses made by the medium . mediums rely on manipulating their subjects into ignoring the misses , and elaborating on the hits\u2014something that is clearly illustrated by reading the transcript . televised mediums can be more directly deceitful , dropping their missed guesses on the cutting room floor so that the vast bulk of their audience doesn ' t even have the chance to notice the cold reading techniques in action . [ 8 ]\na visit to peek frean and co . ' s biscuit works ( 1906 ) - extract\nafter her confession , margaret gave a demonstration of the tricks she used for her\nspirit\nrapping in front of a large audience . [ 5 ] the spiritualists were undeterred .\nthe psychologist gustav jahoda attended a s\u00e9ance during which he kicked the table leading other sitters to believe spirits were communicating . one of the sitters asked the non - existent spirit to materialize and the sitters claimed to have observed the spirit materialize in the corner of the room as\na little grey man\n. jahoda claimed there was no man but just a faint shadow cast by a curtain in a slight breeze . a year after the s\u00e9ance he came clean to a s\u00e9ance sitter that he had faked the phenomenon of the table . the s\u00e9ance sitter did not believe jahoda and claimed the s\u00e9ance was genuine evidence for spirit communication . [ 22 ]\nbooth was a stage magician himself , so there may well have been an element of professional rivalry at play here . however , the crucial difference between his illusions and those of a medium is that booth ' s audience knew that they were being deceived , but were happy to go along with the charade for the sake of both entertainment and the pleasure of working out how it was done . by contrast , the medium is using similar stage effects to fool people into believing that they might be able to contact their dead loved ones .\nthe unparalleled excitement caused by these young girls suggested to the minds of many unscrupulous persons the vast financial field that lay before anybody who should pretend similar mediumistic powers . at once there were hundreds of mediums in all parts of the country and the number of these impostors has increased year by year . now the fox sisters have come forward and as a matter of long - neglected duty to the public and for their own peace of mind say boldly that theirs has been a life of deception and fraud . as the first and greatest of all mediums the weight of their evedence can not fail to sound the death knell of the abominable business which they , at an age when they knew not what they did , began and have seen flourish into one gigantic world - wide fraud .\nthere are over 300 spiritualist churches in the uk . [ 23 ] in april 2008 the british government intends to introduce a law which will make claims made by spiritualists subject to consumer legislation . consequently if a clairvoyant charges an individual for services and that consumer subsequently deems those services to be\ndefective\nthen the consumer will have a legal right to seek compensation and damages . [ 24 ] the spiritualist movement is unsure how best to respond to this situation . [ 25 ]\neditor\u2019s note : this article appeared originally in the newspaper the new york world , on october 21 , 1888 . it is the testimony of the first modern - day psychic , margaret fox , where she tells the story of how a simple childhood joke sparked the spiritualist movement that even today has a strong following , with numerous tv shows about psychics and how they talk to the dead .\nthe claims of the spiritualism regarding the reality of mediumship were investigated by the society for psychical research , founded in london in 1882 who came to the conclusion that many mediums were using fraudulent techniques and trickery in the s\u00e9ance room . psychical researchers who had exposed fraud in mediumship came from a variety of different backgrounds such as frank podmore and harry price . during the 1920s , professional magician harry houdini undertook a well - publicised campaign to expose fraudulent mediums . houdini wrote\nup to the present time everything that i have investigated has been the result of deluded brains\n.

[ 16 ]\nand this is the way we began . first as a mere trick to frighten mother , and then , when so many people came to see us children , we were frighten ourselves and kept it up . we were then taken by mrs . underhill to rochester . there it was that we discovered how to make the other raps . my sister kate was the first one to discover that by swishing her fingers she could produce a certain noise with the knuckles and joints , and that the same effect could be made with the toes . finding that we could make raps with our feet \u2013 first with one foot , then with both \u2013 we practiced until we could do this easily when the room was dark . no one suspected us of any trick because we were such young children . we were led on by my sister purposely and by my mother unintentionally . we often heard her say , \u201cis this a disembodied spirit that has taken possession of my dear children ? \u201d\nharlow gale .

- that was one of the lasting casualties brought on by the lengthy crawl to the screen . does that mean that we may never get to see the true genius of this film ? possibly , but it seems pretty clear that knights of badassdom has problems that transcend the magic of editing . blessed with a talented cast , knights of badassdom mostly squanders it\u2019s opportunity to be fresh , funny , and smart , opting instead to unfurl a lifeless \u201ccabin in the woods\u201d film sans the cabin .\nslashfilm noticed that the official website for the film , urltoken , contained an open letter to \u201cwhat remains of the board of directors of indievest , the production company and manager of the film known as knights of badassdom . \u201d it sounds like some of the people who worked on knights of badassdom are no longer in a position to make any decisions regarding the future of the film . that includes director joe lynch , who supposedly hasn ' t been involved with any aspect of the film ' s post - production since shortly after comic - con in 2011 . however , the site has been updated with a bit more information on the issue .\nindievest , founded in 2005 , funded just two movies :\nknights of badassdom ,\nwhich starred dinklage and was released in january , and\nsaint john of las vegas ,\nwhich starred buscemi and was released in 2010 . both of those films were produced by indievest pictures , a wholly owned subsidiary of indievest .\naccording to the original text from the website urltoken ( which has since been edited so we ' re pulling the old information from bleeding cool for now ) the re - edited version of knights of badassdom is going up for auction tonight . the site alleged that ceo bradley forcibly removed mark burton ( the part president of indievest pictures and producer to the film ) along with screenwriter matt wall from the picture . bradley then began editing knights of badassdom independently . the new edit has supposedly changed the story and overall concept of the film . slashfilm spoke with bradley who stated that the screening of this new version is still on ( tonight ) but all all the accusations made by badassdom are\nabsolutely false .\nin the three years since \u201cknights of badassdom\u201d was filmed mostly on location at riverside state park , the promising hollywood buzz about a film many thought could become the spokane movie industry\u2019s biggest commercial success since the 1993 hit \u201cbenny and joon\u201d has turned to skepticism .\nearlier this week , we got a request on our facebook page about the current status of knights of badassdom and i started to do a bit of digging . mainly , i was curious because i remembered the trailer and after watching it again , i couldn ' t for the life of me fathom why this film was pushed or shelved .\nthe project interviews the men and women who don ( or donned ) the suits in some of our favorite monster films . in relation to knights of badassdom the documentary followed douglas tait who plays the creature abominog in the film . they followed tait from the earliest suit fitting up until the first night of shooting .\nwith names like peter dinklage , summer glau and ryan kwanten attached , knights of badassdom offers a bloody and distinctive take on the meta - horror subgenre . that said , its depiction of larping isn ' t quite as comedically sharp as role models ' , nor as hard - hitting as darkon ' s , say . nevertheless , knights might entertain on some level thanks to its dedicated talent and lighthearted execution .\nknights of badassdom the hubs and i saw the hall h panel at san diego comic - con for the movie knights of badassdom years ago now . it has a stellar cast \u2013 peter dinklage , summer glau , ryan kwanten , steve zahn , jimmi simpson , and more \u2013 and a premise that sounded really funny . basically , it\u2019s supposed to be galaxy quest for the live action role play set . we literally could not wait to see this movie . we got home from comic - con and eagerly awaited the release .\nknights of badassdom just sort of sat around for years . the story behind its delay is ugly and kind of stupid - the production company behind the film , indievest , seems to have been run into the ground through terrible and possibly fraudulent business practices , and the owner of that company has stolen the film from lynch and made his own 70 minute cut .\nknights of badassdom is an independent film from joe lynch that focuses on the world of larp . it features an ensemble cast culled from sci fi and geek culture , featuring ryan kwanten and steve zahn , with supporting roles from summer glau ( firefly ) , danny pudi ( community ) , and peter dinklage ( game of thrones ) .\nthe anonymous complaint in question claimed to be from a financial backer of a company called indievest . you can read the whole thing for yourself , but basically it claimed that the powers in charge of indievest were creating a shell company called media society so that they could release knights of badassdom under that label and stiff the original financial backers of the film with indievest .\nlive action roleplay ( larp ) enthusiasts have waited a long time for the release of knights of badassdom , directed by joe lynch and starring true blood ' s ryan kwanten , game of thrones ' peter dinklage and firefly ' s summer glau . and as the film ' s latest trailer proudly declares ,\nthy wait is over !\nthose who\u2019ve had knights of badassdom on their radar all this time are likely to get some mild amusement and satisfaction out of seeing the larping community depicted as something other than viral video fodder . everyone else will find it a frustrating exercise of missed opportunities , as rough around the edges as the fake frank frazetta painting on your cousin\u2019s van .\nthis brings us back to knights of badassdom which made its debut at comic con in late july of 2011 . during its comic con panel director joe lynch debuted the film ' s trailer and a clip from the movie . the trailer was so badass that we even featured it in a story on our site .\naccording to mr . bradley , knights of badassdom is going to be released theatrically in\nthe first half of 2013 .\nwhen i pressed him for specifics on the release strategy ( limited vs . wide release , etc . ) , he said that the results from test screenings would dictate how wide of a release it would ultimately get .\nsubscribe to trailers : urltoken subscribe to coming soon : urltoken like us on facebook : urltoken knights of badassdom official trailer # 1 ( 2013 ) -

whenever that may be .\nkwanten , who also plays a slightly less - than - super hero in the upcoming movie griff the invisible , stopped by the wired caf\u00e9 at comic - con international to talk about his role in knights of badassdom and why the film\u2019s great reception at the san diego convention got him so excited .\nstill , if you can put aside rationale for 85 minutes , knights of badassdom is a blast and a half . there are some decent laughs , a couple of fun kills and , as stated , a riotous third act . while it doesn ' t all mesh completely , it ' s worth looking into for fans of low - budget comedy - horror flicks .\nultimately , knights of badassdom feels like a film that believed its nerdbait premise would distract viewers from feeling underwhelmed by underdeveloped characters , a mostly charmless script , and lackluster visual effects . this isn\u2019t the nerd opus of our time ( it\u2019s not even the best larp - centric film , wassup role models ? ) , it\u2019s just a bunch of famous people playing pretend in the woods .\nknights of badassdom follows three best friends ( peter dinklage , steve zahn and ryan kwanten ) and dedicated larpers ( live action role players ) as they take to the woods to reenact a dungeons and dragons - like scenario fresh out of the mythical middle ages . trouble arises after they unwittingly conjure up some serious evil in the form of a blood - lusting succubus , from the pits of hell . ( c ) eone\nsomething went horribly wrong in the translation . although spirited at times , badassdom takes on familiar targets , while its escalation of oddity is forced when it isn ' t confusing .\nnow , i ' m a sucker for documentaries about the film industry , especially those that shed light onto the under - appreciated areas of film making . mr . bradley stated that the film makers have recently launched a kickstarter campaign to raise $ 8 , 500 to cover the first run of dvds . so far , they have over $ 9 , 700 pledged so at least a part of knights of badassdom will see the light of day this year .\nbradley said that\nknights of badassdom\nhas performed well on home entertainment platforms and investors in it could eventually make money . the film was budgeted at $ 4 . 5 million , but went\nvastly over budget \u2026 enough to deplete our marketing budget ,\nthough he declined to say what it ultimately cost .\nturns out that joe lynch hasn\u2019t had input on the film since just after comic con \u201911 . one of the producers is set to screen a cut of the film tomorrow , presumably in the hopes of attracting interest in buying the existing cut . the film\u2019s website , urltoken , has been revamped to feature an open letter to \u201cwhat remains of the board of directors of indievest , the production company and manager of the film known as knights of badassdom . \u201d ( update : there has been a second update , so the text on the site is now changed . )\nhere ' s to hoping that this time , there won ' t be any further delays . we will keep an eye on developments surrounding this film and let you know what we hear . in the meantime , i can ' t think of a better way to end this piece than to check out the amazing trailer for knights of badassdom one more time .\nsubscribe to trailers : urltoken subscribe to coming soon : urltoken like us on facebook : urltoken follow us on twitter : urltoken knights of badassdom movie clip 1 ( 2014 ) -

minded viewers entertained .\nin the publishing industry , you\u2019re warned to be careful about how many genres you mash together . just the right amount of the right genres mixed together , such as action , humor , and science fiction , can give you a great movie like men in black . but if you add in too much or , worse , add in everything , you get a mess . and knights of badassdom is just such a mess .\nas the premise suggests , knights of badassdom takes a very meta - horror approach to its outlandish story , not unlike a jennifer ' s body or piranha 3d . for the most part , the movie embraces the lighter side of larping , which works to its advantage most of the time . naturally , it pokes some fun at the medieval - themed activity - - in - game conversations , for example , are frequently played for laughs . but as the story unfolds , it becomes clear that knights ' ribbing is done out of love . in that way , it feels a bit like role models - - which also had a larping element - - though not quite as funny .\nlynch tweeted \u201c # notmycut\u201d in march . that has been interpreted by the \u201cbadassdom\u201d fans to mean he lost control of the film and is unhappy with the finished product . attempts made to reach lynch were unsuccessful .\nkwanten said having the film get a huge saturday afternoon panel in comic -

minute cut of the film sold and hopefully released . this version reportedly\nincludes significant changes to the original story and concept . \u201d well , that doesn ' t sound good . other than that , the legal red tape is what ' s really at the source of this debacle . aside from the creative differences that apparently exist , what is left of indievest is trying to transfer the film over to an entity called media society in order to turn the film into a business asset , thus making it difficult for anyone to give them grief .\nso while it\u2019s not the greatest movie ever made , nor is it even the funniest movie to feature larping ( that honor goes to role models ) , knights of badassdom is still a damn good time . it may be funnier with friends and a couple drinks in you , but even without you still will have a good time watching this film . i mean , the dink is in it , for fuck\u2019s sake ! how could you go wrong ?\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\ngeeks are pop culture\u2019s exotic overlords , powerful and misunderstood . every year , the most successful movies and most popular tv shows seem as if they are powered by that geek / nerd / fan dollar , but there are scant stories that really \u201cget\u201d that audience when they are the subject . usually , these efforts falter thanks to the sin of generalization , painting all who \u201cgeek out\u201d about science fiction , comics , gaming , fantasy and the like as though they are awkward social freaks . knights of badassdom is no exception .\nsan diego \u2013 saturday was a strange and sort of wonderful day in hall h , and it felt like panel after panel had somehow slipped one by the programmers . i love it when the films that play in hall h are the things that need attention , not the things that have already had more than a little hype ahead of time . for many people , the \u201cwhat the heck was that ? ! \u201d discovery of this year\u2019s comic - con was joe lynch\u2019s \u201cknights of badassdom . \u201d i thought the entire panel was entertaining and funny and confident , and it seemed to convince the tough audience sitting around me as well .\nthe cast and director of knights of badassdom appeared at comic - con 2011 in hall h to a very enthusiastic crowd eager to see their movie . since then . . . nothing . the trailer got a lot of interest online , but then not a peep . it ' s been screened a few times , but never for journalists or the public . i remember talking to joe lynch at sxsw last year , excited for the movie , and he seemed excited to show it , but he was curiously silent on when it would finally make its way to the public . and now we know why .\nthe hubs and i saw the hall h panel at san diego comic - con for the movie knights of badassdom years ago now . basically , it\u2019s supposed to be galaxy quest for the live action role play set . we literally could not wait to see this movie . we got home from comic - con and eagerly awaited the release . but the movie was held up in some sort of development hell , and wasn\u2019t released for years . it\u2019s on netflix now . so , the question is : was it worth the wait ? sadly , no .\nladies and gents , behold the trailer for one of the most crowd - pleasing , straight - up entertaining action horror movies in recent memory , the aptly - titled mayhem . directed by everly and knights of badassdom helmer joe lynch , mayhem stars the walking dead ' s steven yeun as derek cho , a corporate climber having the worst day of his career when he discovers that the law firm ' s building is under quarantine for a dangerous virus that drives the infected to act out their wildest impulses . with chaos unleashed in the office , derek teams with a former client ( samara weaving ) to claw their \u2026\nto be totally honest , everyone thinks we designed this , like we had some kind of ryan kavanaugh - esque equation where if we plugged in this , plus this , plus this , equals this , times this and boom ! you got a movie that ' s going to kill at comic - con \u2013 that is so not the case ,\nlynch said in an interview with wired . com , discussing the fortuitous timing of the knights of badassdom panel and q & a saturday in hall h .\ni honestly have to chalk it up to movie magic ; the cinema gods were looking down on us .\ni ' ve been wanting to see knights of badassdom since it was announced . it ' s got steve zahn doing the\nlightning bolt\nthing , it ' s got peter dinklage , currently on a career high with his work on game of thrones , and it just looks fun as hell . that online trailer sold me . what can i say , i ' m a geek for this kind of stuff . one of my most anticipated movies for sxsw this year is zero charisma , a d & d - inspired comedy . sure , it ' s nerdy as hell , but we live in a world run by nerds , geeks , and larpers . embrace the mystery .\n\u201cthose larpers were the best scene partners in the world , \u201d said michael gladis , who plays king diamond in \u201cbadassdom , \u201d at comic - con . \u201cthey were right there with us . they had so much energy and they kept it all day long . they\u2019re going to be the soul of the film in a lot of ways . \u201d\nthose who are behind the campaign to save the film in its original form are saying this kind of decision is deceptive and not in the best interest of those who have invested in the film ( check out the website for stories about the shady actions of indievest and media society ) . the urltoken website has since been updated after this debacle became a little more public and says ,\nindievest still has many options for completing knights of badassdom in a prudent way that allows it to continue to act with the fiduciary responsibility it owes its investors . it can do so without yielding to bullying and with minimal additional expense .\nand while director joe lynch hasn ' t made his position extensively know , there is this tweet :\nknights of badassdom is perhaps best known for its behind - the - scenes wrangles , which saw it taken out of director joe lynch\u2019s hands and re - edited in a way he wasn\u2019t happy with . having been shot in 2010 , and gaining some anticipation in certain circles online thanks to funny clips / trailers and general hype , by the time the edited version was released stateside in early 2014 , reception was poor . a lot of this was put down to it still not being lynch\u2019s cut , but i disagree for two reasons : one , i thought this version was good fun ; and two , based on what i\u2019ve read , i\u2019m not convinced lynch\u2019s preferred cut would help any of the elements that might need helping .\nthere are a number of releases on this week ' s list that are worth checking out . this includes gloria , the official oscar selection from chile ; stranger by the lake , an erotic thriller with a gay protagonist ; and our man in tehran , a canadian documentary that tells the story of what happened in argo . there are also some less serious films that i think i will like more than the average critic : 3 night stand and knights of badassdom . on the other hand , the widest release is gimme shelter , which might do well if it can tap into the churchgoing demographic ; however , it could also miss the mendoza line . more . . .\nrich cowan , an executive producer of the film , is one of the few locals who have seen a full version of the film , though he hasn\u2019t seen the final cut .\nit\u2019s hard to imagine a movie getting closer to the platonic ideal of nerdity than knights of badassdom . it\u2019s about live action role - playing ( larping ) . it\u2019s got game of thrones\u2019 peter dinklage , community\u2019 s dany pudi , firefly\u2019 s summer glau , and a succubus . it ruled hall h at comic - con international ( which is like being the halftime show at the super bowl , if people watching the super bowl not only cared , but regularly freaked out about the halftime show ) . it almost sounds too good to be true ; in fact , after waiting more than two years for its release , some of us were starting to think it had all been a dream . but now it\u2019s finally here\u2014it\u2019s on vod starting this week , with a theatrical run ongoing .\nproducer wade bradley , who is behind the new cut , is supposedly the man who removed lynch from the film and also fired several other producers . bradley is the man holding the screening tonight which those calling themselves the real knights of badassdom tried to prevent . now they have to sit and wait , hoping their plea to investors and potential buyers is enough to keep it from getting bought or have those buyers demand that lynch be brought back to finish the film . there ' s also hopes that they can raise enough money to finish the visual effects and other post - production elements needed .\nthe first feature film from writer matias caruso , mayhem was directed by joe lynch ( everly , knights of badassdom ) and stars steven yeun ( \u201c the walking dead , \u201d okja ) , samara weaving ( three billboards outside ebbing , missouri , showtime\u2019s \u201c smilf \u201d ) , and steven brand ( \u201c teen wolf , \u201d \u201c secrets and lies \u201d ) . synopsis : derek cho ( steven yeun ) is having a really bad day . after being unjustly fired from his job , \u2026 the post mayhem first official key art ! first appeared on hnn | urltoken 2017 - official horror news site\ngorehounds are , naturally , excited for this ; but as i see it , knights of badassdom is a comedy horror , a genre in which the emphasis falls firmly on the comedy side . there\u2019s room for blood and guts in there , especially when used to humorous effect , but it\u2019s not about the visceral thrills of seeing someone eviscerated \u2014 if that\u2019s your bag , there are plenty of films to cater for it ; is a comedy about role - players really the occasion ? there are elements of the film that could do with tightening up \u2014 the beginning is a little slow , as well as the issues with the middle , and towards the climax it\u2019s sporadically jumpy in a way that makes it clear something has been excised \u2014 but just adding gore is not what this film needs to improve it .\nbut it wasn\u2019t enough to elevate that movie above something mediocre , and that\u2019s if i\u2019m being generous . so there was that critical and commercial failure , which almost definitely fed into the producers losing faith in knights of badassdom . there\u2019s a somewhat similar feel and theme , with weed and monsters and irreverant humor , so perhaps they simply thought that audiences wouldn\u2019t be interested and got scared . they then apparently took it from the director , joe lynch , in order to re - edit it , delaying it significantly . hence , why it was missed by myself and also why mr . lynch has disowned the resulting film . of course , being released on only 13 screens didn\u2019t help , either .\nour fairies are different : one of the in -

baseball , to be honest . edits happen\u2014and at least knights is finally seeing the light of day after more than two years in post - production hell . larpers should take heart that their love letter is actually watchable ; after all , more than one noble film has been felled on a battlefield that\u2019s far more dangerous than nevermore . it\u2019s called hollywood .\nthere\u2019s no denying the high concept of \u201cknights\u201d is pretty much as niche nerd specific as possible , and that can be tricky when a distributor is thinking about how to sell something , but the film benefits from having a cast that is suddenly very high - profile and easier to sell . you\u2019re looking at a lot of overlap from different types of fandom , plus a sort of cumulative marketability that comes from the sort of cross - platform buzz you can generate with these people involved . if there\u2019s one thing i learned from this year\u2019s convention , it is that television draws huge crowds , bigger than the movie panels this year , and should not be underestimated as a commercial force .\nwe here at ain ' t it cool news always support the director ' s vision over the producers , and if the report is accurate lynch ' s movie is essentially being held hostage . furthermore , the time is fast approaching when no one will be able to do anything about it . once bradley sells knights to badassdom to a studio for distribution , lynch will not have his final edit . joe lynch deserves better , the cast deserves better , and we as movie fans deserve better . artists whenever possible should have first say over how their films are seen , and hopefully they ' ll win out this time .\n: and guinevere the fearless , who ' s plus -

production elements that will allow the film to be finished to lynch\u2019s specifications . the hope is that anyone interested in the film thanks to the screening tomorrow will bring lynch back into the fold .\nthanks to eric casting a spell that buffs the demon instead of banishing it .\nwe track hollywood ' s upcoming movie releases through all stages of production . more\nbut for every\ndallas buyers club ,\nthere are dozens of failures .\n( a similar allegation of the behavior of indievest and media society was made last year at the site ripoff report , and were vehemently denied by bradley . )\nmore of a psychological thriller than a horror film , the forest tells the story of a young american woman named sara ( natalie dormer , in a powerful performance ) who ventures in aokigahara forest in search of her missing twin sister , jess .\nis the second best -

third of the planned portions . [ 3 ] after five years , sundarlal nahata offered to provide funds in lieu of the film ' s distribution rights and b . nagi reddy provided studio facilities . by then , pullaiah ' s health deteriorated and sankara reddy approached bommireddy narasimha reddy to complete the film . narasimha reddy advised him to consider pullaiah ' s son c . s . rao . [ 3 ] rao was reluctant , opining that nothing dramatic was left for him to film . pullaiah convinced rao to take up the task , stating that the emotional scenes in rama\u2019s palace were of equal importance to the story . [ 3 ]\nlava kusa was filmed as a bilingual in telugu and tamil languages with differences in casting . [ 3 ] anaparthi nagaraju and viyyuri subrahmanyam were cast as lava and kusa respectively in telugu . [ 5 ] for the tamil version , they were replaced by baby uma and master murali . [ 3 ] subrahmanyam was cast after the makers saw him perform the same character in a play staged in kakinada . he was a nine year old when the filming began and was 14 when the film released . [ 4 ] unlike subrahmanyam , nagaraju acted in a few films before lava kusa ; pullaiah offered him the role after observing his work . nagaraju was eight years old when the filming began . [ 4 ]\nkanta rao was cast for the role of lakshmana . when the actor was being diagnosed for eosinophilia and became obese , he was offered the role of shatrughna . [ 6 ] rama rao insisted sankara reddy to let kanta rao play lakshmana , [ 6 ] and sobhan babu was signed to play shatrughna . [ 3 ] kaikala satyanarayana , chittor v . nagaiah , and arja janardhana rao were chosen to play the roles of bharata , valmiki , and anjaneya respectively . [ 3 ]\nthe shooting took place at a big mango orchard near chennai . we used to wake up at 4 am and head to the sets . we would be ready with all our make - up on by 7 am . both of us used to undergo an hour ' s training everyday . we even had to learn viluvidya ( arrow fighting ) . i still remember how we used to call our trainer , sharma master . he painstakingly taught us the art of shooting arrows .\n\u2014nagaraju , in an interview with the times of india in april 2013 . [ 4 ]\npullaiah made nagaraju and subrahmanyam undergo training for an hour everyday and memorise the dialogues and lyrics of the songs .\nfilming used to begin by 7 : 00 am and would go on till 9 : 00 pm . however , the duo was relieved an hour before to ensure that they could sleep properly .\naccording to them , rama rao and anjali devi were\ncommitted to the core\n.\nin a particular scene , nagaraju was supposed to cry and glycerine was used . when it turned out to be ineffective , anjali devi slapped him and the scene was filmed . after its completion , she had to console him for almost fifteen minutes .\nthe climax sequences were filmed first , and because of delay in the film ' s production , the child artistes looked much aged in the earlier portions . [ 4 ] when the scene of rama embracing his sons was filmed , pullaiah arranged two small tables and asked rama rao to hug nagaraju and subrahmanyam , who were standing on them . the duo stated that this incident was an example of pullaiah ' s respect towards the lead character and the state of technology in use . [ 5 ] pullaiah\u2019s associate g . v . r . seshagiri rao pointed to him that a pregnant sita running towards valmiki would look awkward , and the scene was reshot . [ 3 ]\nsoundtrack was composed by ghantasala and lyrics by vempati sadasivabrahmam , samudrala raghavacharya & kosaraju raghavaiah . [ 7 ]\nall the tunes for all the songs for both languages are the same . the film has 37 songs and poems ( padyam ) , many are very popular and memorable .\nsoundtrack was composed by k . v . mahadevan and ghantasala and lyrics by a . maruthakasi . [ 8 ]\nthe film ran for 75 weeks uninterruptedly . this is an unbroken record . [ 9 ] [ 10 ] it was released in 26 centres and had a 100 - day run in all the centers , which was a record and ran 150 days in all those centers and 175 - day run in 18 centres . due to the huge demand for the film from other centres in andhra pradesh , most prints had to be shifted to other centres . it had run for 100 days in 62 centres and 175 - day run in 18 centres , grossing more than 10 million .

fedz , and i made it as cheap as possible , at just 66p . i decided to stream my film because i believe this is where the audiences will be going in the next year or two . and i would rather be there waiting for them , than trying to play catch up . \u201d\nvery much the embodiment of dexy\u2019s famed \u201cteams who meet in caffs\u201d , the gestation of the fedz has developed at its own pace . no teasing , no tweeting , no mention of the name\u2026 . until the music is ready . the fact that they had a london hub to call their own , a warren of small rooms on an industrial estate in acton , a place where members could make music day and night without the pressure of deadlines or commercial constraints , has led to some remarkable music being created , often during sessions lasting all day and night .\nfedz , is a british film with a host of familiar faces including that of dexter fletcher , best known for his role in lock , stock and two smoking barrels and even joseph marcell , who , for anyone a fan of the fresh prince of bell air , will recognise him as geoffrey the butler . set in london , the story follows a renegade cop , who , after having his doubts about the force and suspected corruption , resigns and spends his time trying to right the wrongs by investigating a terrorist group who have released a virus on the city .\nwithout even trying to , this is music which carries many of the ideals of punk and post punk , a time when people made music because they needed to , and when exploration , inventiveness and egalitarianism were qualities which soon became the norm . that the march of time , economics and technology have spun the world on a faster axis need not mean that true collaboration , conjoining the roots of our soulful past with the present and the future , needs to be bought in by the biggest record company or the highest bidder . at the heart of the fedz is a purity of spirit and intent which means that anything they do will be done because it intrinsically feels right . because it needs to be done .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\nbritish film director q says that black people in britain are

\u2018q\u2019 ) learn on his release from prison that he was possibly set up by his brother bones ( bovell ) a rising internet artist and entrepreneur who has just bought a designer house in notting hill and has a new girlfriend , melanie ( jo martin ) , the lawyer who defended clarkie . within a week , bones is found hanging , the suspected victim of a notorious cyber - vigilante who hunts down paedophiles online . clarkie embarks on a desperate quest to solve his brother\u2019s murder and from here the story unfolds .\nfrom wil johnson , martina laird , to robbie gee this film features a stellar cast of some of the uk\u2019s most amazing acting talents . shot on a tight budget in 12 days and adapted from q\u2019s book of the same name that he originally sold out of the back of his car before it was picked up by publishers . it is evident that q worked really hard to get this movie produced and onto the big screen .\nwith deadmeat released on dvd this month and having received an award in the past for the best british feature film at the bfi film festival its only right that we have a word with the man behind the film .\ncan you give us a brief synopsis about the film ? it is a dark time on the streets of london . an american serial killer the \u201ccyber vigilante\u201d is tracking down victims . clarkie is released from prison and sets out to find the gang that murdered his brother . he tracks them down with the help of an undercover cop and dishes out violent revenge .\nwhere did you come up with the idea of deadmeat ? it started as a book , which i sold out of the back of my car , and then it got published in the mainstream . so , i just adapted it , but the film just has an essence of the book .\nhow did you get into film - making ? i was an actor , got into writing for tv , so i was always around it .\nyou got an all - star cast in the film with some really well - know talent . how hard was it to cast them ? casting is about 95 % of my work as a director , and the other 5 % is working out where to put the camera to film the action . i like to think of myself as an actor\u2019s director . i understand the process of how an actor prepares and creates a character and my job is to help them to turn in great performances . so , if you have a script that an actor likes , then it makes it easier to cast them , even if you don\u2019t have much money , actors want to work and they need good material to do that , so i try to write challenging characters , then approach the actor either personally or through their agent or a casting director and convince them as to why they should do the role . the best way of doing that is if the character is on the page .\nthe movie ends quite abruptly with loads of questions left unanswered was that intentional ? yes . i didn\u2019t want a hollywood ending , where everything is tied up nice and neat . sometimes , life is abrupt . i suppose i like foreign movies and a lot of these have abrupt endings , it makes the audience think , it creates an emotion , and questions like \u2013 did he get the girl ? did the cop catch the criminal ? i don\u2019t agree that an audience doesn\u2019t like to think , that a director must drawn the line for them . i actually shot a hollywood ending to the movie and was about to put it in , and i asked myself why are you doing this ? then i left it out . also people think i did the end that way it is because , i wanted to do a part two , no , i did it because , there are always unanswered questions , especially in the area of unsolved crimes .\ndo you have any exciting up and coming projects ? fever is my next movie . i have seven actors who are in the movie aunvahood in fever and they play great characters . it is just being edited , and will be in the cinemas at the end of the year ; right now i am looking for new talent to contribute music to the soundtrack . i will also be doing a few scenes with a big name actor , and i am looking to put an unknown in the scene , so if you think you are that person we have started our fever movie facebook page , so hit me up , and tell me what you do . urltoken\nwhat was your first ever job in film ? producing . i have also been curious about where the money is in the film industry , and i figured it was behind the camera , so i learnt how to produce .\nwhat\u2019s your favourite scene from the movie ? the sex scene . because of the way the camera moves and the lighting . i saw a french film called \u201cbetty blue\u201d and it started with this full on sex scene , and i was in the cinema and i was like \u201cwait a minute what is going on here ? \u201d it got my attention , but more than that i was fascinated by the power of film and how it can be used to create emotions and make one question one\u2019s self . the sex scene in deadmeat is paying respect to \u201cbetty blue\u201d because as a filmmaker , i never want to forget what betty blue made me feel . it wasn\u2019t porn , it wasn\u2019t there to shock . it was there because the director was saying pay attention to this because this is an important part of the story , of the relationship between the two lead characters , and this raw emotion is the territory that this film will be exploring , if you don\u2019t like it leave the cinema now .\nwhat do you love about the movie ? it was shot on 35mm film with anamorphic lenses . think of all the big american blockbusters like independence day , batman , when you go to the cinema , the curtains have to open even more than a normal movie to the biggest screen size to take it . as a kid when i went to the cinema and saw this i said to my mum , one day i want to make a movie that makes the curtain open that extra bit . plus , it is good to see black actors from the uk in that big frame . i have never seen it before , and i don\u2019t think an urban film in the uk has ever been shot on that scale . i also love the way the 5 . 1 surround sound , swirls around the speakers , but most of all , i love the look , the way that it is graded , it brings out the varied skin tones of all the different characters . when i used to watch tv , and a black character came on the screen in a soap opera or a drama , i was always asking myself why they looked so dark . why they were not lit properly ? so i swore to myself that if i ever made a movie , i would make sure that the black characters were well lit .\nwhat was the biggest challenge of the film ? getting the film made . but , every filmmaker has to go through this and having done it , i respect any filmmaker who makes a movie . the pursuit of making movies has killed some people , it has made best friends fall out , producers and investors have gone broke . there are many causalities of war in filmmaking , it is a fierce battle , it is all about survival , you\u2019ve got to defend your film , think on your feet , run and shoot , borrow what you need , steal locations , do deals , don\u2019t use permits , just get that film made by any means necessary .\nwhich film changed your life ? l\u2019argent by robert bresson , another french film . the title means money . bresson uses the pulling out , counting and passing over of franc notes from one person to another as a kind of repeated motif throughout , and it shows the love of money as a root of evil and how money can destroy the life of an innocent man , when fake notes land in his hands . it is a simple story but very powerful . it made me fascinated about money , the paper chase , you know , what people will do for bits of paper and little pieces of metal .\nwhat is your favorite part of the process ? editing . editing is re - writing . just like you can change the look of a movie in the grade , you can change the whole structure of a movie when you edit , you can put a scene that was written to be at the beginning at the end , and find out it works better there . i don\u2019t edit my own movies , i hire an editor and sometimes they surprise me by their suggestions of moving scenes around , of taking dialogue from one scene and putting it over another and thus making the character and story more meaningful . i love collaborating with people .\nwhich was the most difficult character to cast ? jamal , the young kid , who observes a drive by shooting . he was an unknown , a non actor . i actually use a lot of non actors , or what i call real people in my movies , i like it because they have not been trained to act , and i like to cast them opposite big name actors , it is fun for both , it keeps the professional actors on their toes because they have a real person in front of them to bounce off so it helps them create a better character , and the non - actors , get a professional who makes them feel comfortable and even takes time to give them tips about the filmmaking process , so everybody wins .\nhave you ever had a crisis of confidence ? everyday . i am constantly asking myself if i am doing the right thing , making the right decision . i am a confident dude , but i hope i am smart enough to realise that nothing is written in stone and thus things can change in a minute , being independent means you can react quicker to these shifting events . when people i know or have studied have flopped , even when they had the whole world in their hands , it was because they were overconfident , thought they were invincible , unstoppable , the bees knees . then , they overlooked something , took their eye of the ball , got hit by a sucker punch and flopped . i am even having a crisis about this interview with flavour , am i saying too much ? could i say more ? you see i never take anything for granted and try to be humble .\nwhat\u2019s your guilty pleasure ? guilt is such an emotive word . pleasure is a strange word , because people will generally do all they can to avoid pain and gain pleasure . so for me , guilt can have elements of pain , so my guilty pleasure , is i spend my own money making movies . it makes me feel guilty , it causes me pain , but you remember i said the movie that changed my life was called l\u2019argent \u2013 money , i have this love hate relationship with money . using my own money causes me pain , causes me a crisis in confidence , i ask myself every day , why am i doing it ? why am i taking hard earned money from my family\u2019s inheritance by investing in a high - risk venture such as film ? it makes me feel guilty when i look at my mum ; she came to this country with a suitcase and five pounds in her pocket , why am i not giving her the money ? now on the other side of the coin it\u2019s pleasure . i enjoy the freedom money gives me , of being my own boss . i enjoy owning my movie . i enjoy creating employment for great actors and talented people behind the camera . i enjoy not having to ask anyone permission to green light a movie .\ndo awards mean anything to you ? no . i think watching a documentary about muhammad ali when he won the olympic gold medal , and then throwing it into a river , when he was refused entry through the front door of a restaurant or a hotel , during the civil rights movement in america affected me . here was this great boxer , with the greatest award on earth and it meant nothing to him , because the society he was living in was unjust . so i realised that there are many unsung heroes in this world who don\u2019t get awards . but it was great to see muhammad ali given a replacement gold medal years later and him accepting it for his work in improving the civil rights of people of colour in the united states . awards in the film industry are important , it means your hard work has been noticed , they can make your career ; they can increase the box office takings for your movie , the red carpet is fun . there is so much competition out there in the film industry , so the general public takes notice of awards , but for me i just keep going with or without awards .\nwhich actors should we be looking out for in the future ? the ones in my next movie fever . in no particular order of importance , but ladies first : -\nshanika warren - markland she is hot , i keep telling her to leave the uk and go to america , but you know , i think i might have given her bad advice , she is smoking , so it is just a matter of time before america comes looking for her in the uk . as a director , i am attracted by intelligence . shanika is not just a pretty face .\nfemi oyeniran , this guy\u2019s comic timing is ridiculous ; also he is a very intelligent actor in his choices . he also has the range to challenge the classics , although he makes jokes about it when i suggest it to him , but he can do hamlet .\nashley chin , richie campbell , jason steed , these guys have such great qualities and they are great to watch .\njazzie zonzolo this dude is one of the most naturally talented people i have met ; i wouldn\u2019t say he is a comedian , but he is witty , quick , looks good on screen . he is good at improvisation that is his strength ; i am going to watch him closely to see how he matures .\nyou all know him as an actor , he is not a new face but i have to mention him , ashley walters , i think he has matured , i think he will move into directing and producing , he is one of the best actors of his generation , he is older than the guys i mentioned above , he is more established , but he is now a man . i honestly believe and i have told ashley this to his face , he can have whatever he wants in the film industry , i have never forgotten his performance in storm damage and that is the timeless quality i mean about a great actor .\nwhich film do you wish you had of directed and why ? heat by michael mann . i just love this guy\u2019s work , his attention to detail , his research process , his writing , directing , editing , locations , his use of real people as characters in his movies , i like everything about him . the shootout scene in downtown la is off the hook , the sound design , the camera movement , the grading , and the performances of pacino and de niro , the cop and the robber , the good guy and the bad guy , who both have challenges with the relationships they have with the women in their lives .\nwhere do you want to go from here ? top dog . i am going to build up the top dog film distribution and clothing label . make films audiences want to see . i am going to discover new filmmakers and distribute their films , discover new acting talent and showcase them in my movies , collaborate with the greats in the film industry . i am going to start a top dog educational program to go with the top dog label , to teach people the business skills that i have learnt , so they can come from , council estates and the road like me and sit in boardrooms of big corporations and make deals . i am going to teach them the secrets of earning money . i will tell you a top dog business tip . if you really break it down , if you strip away all the bs , earning big money is really easy . all you have to do is find a need and serve it . this is nothing new ; it is an age old principle . how do you serve the need ? with the skills and abilities you have , and if you don\u2019t have the skills , read books , go on courses and learn them or find a mentor . now , once you have earned that big paper you will meet another challenge , keeping it , that is even harder than earning money .\n2 . learn as much as you can about every department in the filmmaking process .\n3 . become a great communicator , your people skills have to be 200 % on point . listen to your team ; they are looking for your leadership qualities .\n5 . don\u2019t be too precious about your ideas . film is collaboration medium , so surround yourself with great people with great ideas , and be open to their ideas and don\u2019t take it personally if someone comes up with a better idea than you , go with it , don\u2019t be wrong and strong , if someone\u2019s idea works better than yours , cool , at the end of the day , you will still get the director\u2019s credit .\nare you on twitter ? i don\u2019t tweet anymore . i have a theory i am exploring , we seem to be living in a global culture where , everyone wants to be famous and have followers etc , i have had my 15 minutes of fame , a couple of times and now , i am a bit like the graffiti artist banksy , i created the q image with the wooden glasses , because i like anonymity . in the world of social media , everyone is putting all their life , beefs and dirty linen out there , so , if i want to know about someone who interests me from a business point of view , i log on , after a few searches , boom , i\u2019ve got loads of information . twitter is a great tool for pop stars and celebrities to keep in touch with their audience . but , i give information on a need to know basis , and for me less is more .\nflavourmag is

\u2014 introduced on the very good tv podcast \u2014 are clear exceptions .\nafter studying under cinematographer ed lachman , shevaun mizrahi forged her own unique filmmaking path with its own set of rules .\nthe actress and director both love the genre , but as they told indiewire , they also knew it needed to be retrofitted to tell the true story of catherine weldon and sitting bull .\nlane and schoenbrun discuss how her interest in morgellons disease patients ( \u201cthe pain of others\u201d ) and his exploration of the slenderman myth ( \u201ca self - induced hallucination\u201d ) led them to make archival films from youtubes .\nand as if he hadn\u2019t made it convenient enough for audiences to view his action thriller , the director has made his film available for just 66p .\nhe explains why he took this route : \u201cstreaming is the future because that decision has been made for me by the big companies . look at all the investment that is going into this sector .\nyoutube came along and the tv corporations quickly realised they\u2019d lose audiences if they didn\u2019t keep up , so the bbc , itv and channel 4 developed their own players to stream their content . \u201d\nhe continues : \u201cstreaming has become so natural now , with people watching and streaming music videos , films and other media on their smart phones and tablets , often without even knowing they are doing it . have you seen how big some of the [ smart phone ] screens are getting ? have you noticed all the mobile companies are talking about 4g connections when you upgrade your phone ? it allows videos and films to be streamed faster to your phone or tablet . \u201d\nin addition , q says that having the ability to set up internet channels means that black brits with content to share can side - step the often heard issue of the mainstream showing little support to black - interest productions .\n\u201cso many people have mobile phones , so now , there are many ways we can all join in and make money in this growing industry . jamie oliver has his own food tube channel on youtube \u2013 why has no black chef done the same ?\n\u201cyou can\u2019t say technology is racist when you look at media entrepreneurs like [ sb . tv founder ] jamal edwards and [ youtube stars ] mandem on the wall ; companies like grm daily and link up tv ; and shows like meet the adebanjos \u2013 all of which enjoy success online . \u201d\nwith this thinking , it\u2019s perhaps not surprising that q doesn\u2019t see himself as being at a disadvantage as a black british filmmaker , compared to his non - black counterparts . in fact , he feels that the issue to focus on is not the lack of support from the film industry , but the lack of support from black audiences .\n\u201ci am a realist , \u201d he says . \u201ci don\u2019t expect anything from this society , not even from my own black people . this is not america . black people in the uk did not go through the civil rights movement or apartheid . the pain that black people in america and africa went through got them to where they are now . black brits haven\u2019t faced anything like that .\n\u201cit is normal for the industry to fund their own people ; people that look like them , because they want to see themselves on the screen . the biggest challenge we face is the black audience \u2013 they don\u2019t support their own filmmakers and that is more of a challenge . my white contemporaries have their audiences come out and support their films , but black british audiences seem to be comatose . they are sitting in front of the tv not seeing themselves , but they keep watching . why ? \u201d\nhe adds : \u201cif we support our industry like african people support nollywood , then we will get there . black brits have a lot to learn from nollywood and the way they market and promote their films in the uk . \u201d\n\u201ci\u2019m currently working on creating a distribution portal , \u201d he reveals . \u201cwith the advent of social media , the demise of hmv , and blockbuster being bought out of administration , it means cinema and the film business as a whole is changing . we can jump into that space and that is what i am doing .\n\u201ci also have a business called top dog agency , which does all the things i want to do , like discovering and developing new acting talent , and shooting and producing music promos , shorts and commercials . there is always something to do \u2013 i\u2019m never bored . \u201d\nthe collaboration has seen this wealth of talent release a string

done , further adding to the cost of the film . distribution of the film further delayed the release . the film was originally intended to be a joint venture between the russian company a - media and upi , but the two ended their partnership in september 2007 . a -

i had earlier worked in an indie movie titled \u201csoftware hardware kya yaaroon\u201d directed by rabi kisku , an iit - ian turned director . the hinglish movie is due for released on april 5 , 2013 under the production label of pvr cinemas \u2013 director\u2019s rare banner . we have a foreign cast in this movie . the film has been also screened at indian film festival in japan last year . the ost is sang by lucky ali and well - known rock band boomarang from mizoram .\ninterestingly \u2013 and ironically \u2013 the shiv sena burned posters of nasha before its release , saying that the hoardings looked objectionable . if the politically charged sainiks watched the film , they would realise that they have clearly wasted their time objecting to a movie that has absolutely nothing in it \u2013 not even a concrete plot ! even those who walk into the theatres with the sole purpose of feasting their eyes on tempting revelations that poonam promised in the promos will have to be satisfied with a couple of passionate kissing sequences and a scene in which poonam takes a walk in her chaddis . in fact , the boys in the movie have shown more skin than the desperate damsel .\nwe could have ignored saxena\u2019s huge mistake of not tapping into poonam\u2019s real \u2018potential\u2019 , if only he had given us a truly engaging story in return . alas , the director has failed on both counts and what you get is a film that leaves you searching for the exit door .\nof coping with his unrequited love , the boy requites a lot more . and both he and the woman come of age . beyond mere years , in the truest sense of the word . a tale as much of longing as of losing , nasha is a story that transcends seasons and generations . because we ' ve all been there , done that . and shall continue to do so .\n\u2018hunterrr\u2019 is a 2015 indian adult comedy film that is written by harshavardhan kulkarni . the movie features gulshan devaiah , radhika apte , and sai tamhankar . the movie is all about a boy , unassuming sex addict and his lustful journey of life . you definitely can\u2019t watch this movie with your family !\nour masha was directed by egor mikhalkov - konchalovskii , of anti - killer and anti - killer 2 fame . to those familiar with these two violent , hollywood - style blockbuster films , our masha may seem like a radical departure for the director . mikhalkov - konchalovskii himself admits that he was unsure about taking on an animated film , but says he is an adventurer at heart and that the producers eventually persuaded him to work on this project ( \u201ckrakatuk na podkhode\u201d ) . the decision to make this film most likely stemmed from more than just an adventurous spirit . our masha\u2019s budget was over three million dollars , a sum greater than the budget of either anti - killer and anti - killer 2 , and had the potential to be as wildly successful as the two aforementioned films had been . [ 2 ] our masha , however , was unable to follow in the footsteps of the director\u2019s previous successes . the film , while not a complete financial failure , made a total of $ 626 , 459 during its box office run in russia . by comparison , the third anti - killer film , released one week before our masha and directed not by mikhalkov - konchalovskii but by el\u2019dar salavatov , earned nearly three times as much in russian theaters .\nthis ' upright ' teacher teaches the most immoral lesson of love -\nlove is like summer vacations , it gives different type of pleasure every year ,\nsays poonam and the crowd hails it with a loud applause ! the screenplay is cliched and the songs are mediocre . amit saxena has failed miserably as a director . his jism was classy because it had the bhatt camp background , but nasha is nothing but p - grade ( poonam grade ) .\nsix tracks of\nnasha\ndo not have anything erotic . rather the music is sweet , simple and has a very calm undertone . of course , one cannot vouch for the videos of the songs , but the audio definitely is good and soothing in its own respect . title song is melodious and\ngoti song\nis youthful in addition to routine\nlaila\n. but the surprising is\nbesharam\n. in nutshell , a good listen !\nnatalia oreiro\u2019s story is absolutely unique . she is the only performer from rio de la plata and one of the very few latin american performers who , despite language and curtural barriers , has become a popular symbol in such different countries as czech republic , poland , russia and israel , this film is an attempt to uncover the phenomenon .\nthe soundtrack to our masha contributes both to the epic fairy tale quality and the modern feel of the story through its contrasting instrumental and vocal scores . composer mark erman wrote the orchestral score for the film , which was recorded at mosfil\u2019m by a full orchestra under the direction of iurii tkachenko , who was awarded the honorary title of meritorious artist of the russian federation in 2002 . in addition to this impressive orchestral cast , the 72 - minute film also features nine songs written by the composers maksim fadeev and nikolai krupatin and performed by artists such as viktoriia daineko , stas p\u2019ekha , korni , chelsi , bis , and others . the film highlights the very diverse songs in several different ways : masha , and her toys - turned - human friends gosha , mikhei , and bor\u2019ko spontaneously perform the song \u201cfriends rap\u201d directly to the camera , complete with music - video inspired dance moves ; the emperor , suddenly sporting pink pants , a pink vest , a pink top hat and a microphone , performs his feature song to a packed stadium gathered for the execution of masha and her friends ; masha spends several minutes falling and reminiscing about her friends to the sound of viktoriia daineko singing \u201cmy angel . \u201d these songs often appear suddenly and with a jarringly different tone than the scene they interrupt . while they are generally not integral to the progression of the plot , the musical numbers do add to the film\u2019s fantasy - world - atmosphere , where something completely unexpected and strange\u2014such as a spontaneous rap song\u2014could happen at any moment .\na . r . rahman a . sreekar prasad aamir khan academy award aditya chopra akshay kumar alia bhatt amitabh bachchan amit trivedi anthony anupam kher anurag kashyap anushka sharma bengali cinema bijibal bollywood brahmanandam deepika padukone dhanush dvd eros international fahadh faasil farhan akhtar film g . v . prakash kumar gopi sunder hollywood home entertainment services by sony dadc india indie films irrfan khan kannada cinema karan johar kareena kapoor malayalam cinema mami mammootty mani ratnam marathi cinema mff mohanlal movie review movies mumbai mumbai film festival naseeruddin shah nassar nawazuddin siddiqui nivin pauly phantom films prakash raj pritam prithviraj priyanka chopra ranbir kapoor ranveer singh rishi kapoor saif ali khan salman khan santosh sivan shah rukh khan siddharth roy kapur sonakshi sinha sony dadc srk tamil cinema telugu cinema trailer utv motion pictures vijay sethupathi vikramaditya motwane yash chopra yash raj films yrf yuvan shankar raja\nknown for opening her mouth wide only to make promises that will make headlines ( remember her vow to strip to absolutely nothingness if team india won the cricket world cup ?

[ 1 ] in her review of the most recent animated version , tat\u2019iana il\u2019ina\u2019s the nutcracker ( shchelkunchik , 2004 ) , laura pontieri hlavacek notes that adaptations often simplify the plot of the original story and most leave out hoffmann\u2019s magical nut krakatuk . our masha , on the other hand , focuses on the struggle to harness its power , which has been changed from the ability to break the spell cast on princess pirlipat to the ability to grant one wish , no matter how great . our masha makes several other changes to hoffmann\u2019s story in order to modernize and sensationalize it : masha , who wears a revealing crop - top shirt with low cut jeans , discovers the magic nut while snowboarding ; gosha , her nutcracker - prince , appears as a robot rather than a traditional nutcracker ; and the \u201cmouse king\u201d has been promoted to the \u201crat emperor , \u201d just to name a few .\n\u201cin a far away galaxy , a magical nut is formed once every thousand years . it can grant any wish . . . \u201d these words , set against a starry background and the image of a nut falling to earth as satellites track it , provide the premise for the animated film our masha . the heroine , masha , is a teenage girl who believes that the only good men in the world are her toys . upon her discovery of the magic nut , krakatuk , magical things begin to happen . masha shrinks and her aforementioned toy friends come to life . they are chased by two rats who wish to steal krakatuk and in the process are all transported to a parallel world , where the real adventure begins . one of the toys , now transformed into a real man , becomes masha\u2019s love interest . masha , unfortunately , is soon kidnapped by the rat emperor , who not only wants to use krakatuk to become emperor but also wants to marry masha . her friends must find a way to prevent both of these terrible things from happening .\nthe latest champ joining the bollywood bandwagon from the northeast region , is here , the 24 -

night performances from the no - name cast , a homogenous visual palette ( and from a music - video director , no less ! ) , and lots of pointless sadism . like the aja remake , the film puts a heavy emphasis on disgusting makeup effects and visceral action sequences ; whole characters are defined with less detail than the mutants ' unkempt toenails . the mutants may or may not live to kill again , but at this point , these fussed -

crafted exploitation bloodbath . plus i ' m a huge fan of wes craven , and the idea he was writing the sequel to the remake as opposed to sitting on the sidelines and producing made me think that this was going to be even better than i first anticipated . the fact of the matter is , it ' s not very good . a year before this was released alexandre aja ' s 2006 remake at first impact devided critics and audiences , however i personally had a differing opinion , i found it to be atmospheric and captured the landscapes in the same way craven ' s original did , but brought quicker pacing to the table and an exceeding amount of barf - disgusting gore that before the series had lacked . i for one have no problems with cash cow sequels that are terribly unoriginal , as long as they are either equally as good as their predecessors or better . but this remake sequel is predictably dissapointing , the fact it lacks the visual style of the remake , the atmospherics of the original , and also it ' s character profoundness , pretty much leaves you with nothing other than over the top gore . this isn ' t aja ' s the hills have eyes , or even the original in which craven took the directing chair , it ' s just proof of the depressingly low standard that horror movies have tragically succumb to in recent years . it ' s not terrible by quite some distance , it works hard to make sure that the deaths are as gory , bloody and revolting as inhumanly possible , but the problem is , it isn ' t scary , and i never winced once .\nthis time round there is no american family turning feral to combat new mexico desert dwelling cannibal mutant attackers , but instead wet -

( the film lineup , with short blurbs , is after the jump . )\nthe psychic trauma of impending childbirth has proven fertile territory for horror films past , from the early david cronenberg chiller \u201cthe brood\u201d to the extreme french horror film \u201cinside , \u201d but bruce mcdonald\u2019s \u201chellions\u201d is an unpleasant muddle of the visceral and the abstract . though it carries the conceptual boldness of his ingenious 2008 zombie riff , \u201cpontypool , \u201d [ \u2026 ]\nit\u0092s enchanting . the look of mcdonald\u0092s film , unlike much anything else , takes the wheel from its comparatively simple setup and pushes hellions into a dreamy ultra - style . just as dora is delivered the news of her pregnancy , she\u0092s told there\u0092s still time for options , and so the film externalizes her dilemma in bold , nightmarish form . the middle ground of halloween , in which the living and dead and supernatural co - exist , parallels her own between adulthood and adolescence , between keeping a baby or not .\ndon\u2019t get me wrong , the film is not overtly bad at all . it has some very nasty moments which will leave audiences squirming in their seats and the camera work here is great . even the direction from mcdonald is reasonably sound , but my problem lies with how the film changes between the first and second act . once the demonic kids arrive the film is over - saturated with bleached tones . yes , this may promote an eerie atmosphere but the artful approach removes everything scary about it .\nhellions is a movie starring chloe rose , rachel wilson , and rossif sutherland . a teenager must survive a halloween night from hell when malevolent trick - or - treaters come knocking at her door .\n\u2014 in winter 1921 , d . h . lawrence and his wife journeyed to sardinia , and he chronicled their experiences in \u201csea and sardinia . \u201d now , mark cousins retraces lawrence\u2019s footsteps . the film is conceived partly as a letter to lawrence \u2014 or \u201cbert\u201d \u2014 a detail typical of the film\u2019s inviting sense of conversational intimacy . ( international premiere )\nit isn\u2019t just the who and the why of the diminutive demons that is unknown . everything about the film\u2019s fiction is up in the air . this increasingly bizarre mystery marks an initially fascinating way for the film to foster suspense while the audience takes the same arc as dora in frantically finding out exactly what is happening to the tormented teen and her weird surrounding world .\ncandler gets strong performances from both her young cast and adult players . unfortunately , this gets overshadowed by the predictable plot and the distractingly shaky camera angles meant to give the film added grit .\ndora escapes the house and hides in a shed outside . a disembodied voice compels dora to sleep and repeats \u201cblood for baby , \u201d explaining that the hellions tormenting her have plans to kill dora and take her unwanted child .\n\u201chellions\u201d has a terrific style , though it uses that style to explore territory too abstract to qualify the halloween - set film as essential october 31st viewing alongside \u201ctrick ' r treat , \u201d \u201challoween , \u201d or \u201challoween iii : season of the witch . \u201d yet when separated from the fluff of its disappointing denouement , there remains a disturbingly dark fairy tale in the movie ' s core capable of leaving a lasting impression .\n\u201chellions\u201d keeps its hooks firmly embedded with atypical visuals hypnotizing in parallel to the tone . \u201chellions\u201d may be the only horror movie choosing to filter its hue through a chromatic pink color instead of the usual giallo green , red , or deep blue most films use . there is probably some metaphoric meaning relating to the pregnancy plotline or the october sky\u2019s blood moon overhead , but the look is so unique that it commands engagement simply for being a seldom seen style .\n, in which a few people have probably their worst - ever halloween night when demonic little trick - or - treaters show up on their doorstep . the hellions trailer has some very odd halloween sights ; have a look below .\nit\u2019s not a well kept secret that we are huge midnight madness fans . in fact , the late - night screenings at ryerson theatre are where most of the fondest memories we have of the last decade of tiff movie going . if general tiff audiences are regarded as some of the best among all international film festivals , then the midnight madness crowd are the pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance of film festival audiences .\n\u201chellions takes place on halloween night in the town of waterford , the so - called pumpkin capital of the world . hidden among the trick - or - treaters , a group of masked demonic beings roam the town and come upon dora , a teenager home alone for the night . cut off from the outside world and under siege in her isolated home , dora will need to defend both her body and soul from the relentless evil beings known as hellions . \u201d\nhellions gradually transitions into nightmare logic , where the rules of time and space don\u2019t apply . the color shifts to sepia , we see kaleidoscope imagery , and dora ends up in a completely strange world for the climax . editing even changes the logic of continuity . the lack of logic is always the scariest part of nightmares anyway , that you can\u2019t even count on basic physics to apply , so it\u2019s a good approach to the film\u2019s horror .\nthere\u2019s no accurate way to predict on which side of the line any given person will stand once the cloud clears . the only prudent advice is to tell potential viewers of \u201chellions\u201d to be ready for either possible outcome : admiration or aversion .\nup next were sydney\u2019s hellions , who put on a show , unlike anything i\u2019ve seen before . confidently defiant of restrictive genre boundaries , hellions combined their signature sound with the excitement of a band so comfortable and so proud of the music they\u2019ve worked to create . at times i wasn\u2019t sure whether i was at a hardcore gig or a funk gig , which made their performance all the more entertaining , and it was clear that the crowd and band were feeding off the other\u2019s energy .\nin its best moments , hellions is interesting and perplexing and worth soaking in , in the sense that one would admire a hieronymus bosch - inspired painting . but without at least one foot on the ground , it doesn ' t inspire fear .\ni generally keep an eye on the film festival scene because it\u2019s always where the best horror films premiere . as has long been the case for over a decade at this point , the indie scene is where it\u2019s at when it comes to horror . anyway , last year i started hearing some buzz about \u201chellions . \u201d despite being the spookiest holiday by far , there aren\u2019t nearly as many halloween - set horror films as there should be . so here comes a film about malevolent trick - or - treaters ? and it\u2019s directed by the guy who made \u201cpontypool , \u201d an odd but fascinating canadian variation on the zombie concept from a few years back ? sign me up ! as sometimes happened , the review started to roll in and they were\u2026\nprepare for polarization . at one end of \u201cpontypool\u201d director bruce mcdonald\u2019s \u201chellions\u201d is a mound of moody madness and stylish scares . at the other sits a heap of baffling background and ambiguous artistry . whichever side sways most is what tips the scale determining who leaves frightened and who leaves frustrated .\n\u201cstation to station\u201d ( director : doug aitken ) \u2014 \u201cstation to station\u201d is composed of 60 individual one - minute films featuring different artists , musicians , places , and perspectives . this revolutionary feature - length film reveals a larger narrative about modern creativity .\nthe plot of hellions is very similar to that of an earlier short story\nbuckets\nby f . paul wilson . in the story , an abortion doctor is visited and tormented by trick - or - treaters who are revealed to be the spirits of fetuses he has aborted throughout his career .\noriginally , walt disney boldly conceived of fantasia not as a single static film , but as a\nnew form of entertainment\nwith a repertoire that would be regularly updated and rereleased , new sequences replacing old ones and perhaps old favorites returning from time to time .\n\u201chellions\u201d ( canada ) ( director : bruce mcdonald , screenwriter : pascal trottier ) \u2014 teenage dora vogel must survive a halloween night from hell when malevolent trick - or - treaters come knocking at her door . cast : chloe rose , robert patrick , rossif sutherland , rachel wilson , peter dacunha , luke bilyk .\nkevin bacon , keanu reeves and eli roth are among the bigger names aiming to generate buzz and raise gooseflesh in the park city at midnight sidebar at the 2015 sundance film festival , the lineup of which was announced today alongside those of the festival\u2019s spotlight and new frontier sections .\ndora makes it outside and shoots hellions on the lawn until she is overcome by a swarm of them . dora wakes restrained and surrounded in an open field , but mike comes to her rescue . in a dream state , mike and dora enter mike\u2019s former house . mike presents his wife\u2019s newborn child to dora and it mutates in the girl\u2019s arms .\nhellions starts off well enough thanks to rose . anyone could guess the reason she\u2019s going to the clinic well before doctor henry ( rossif sutherland ) delivers the news , but rose has more than enough natural charisma to sell dora as a very likable lead with a mind of her own , sparking curiosity regarding how she\u2019s going to deal with the scenario .\nnorayr kasper ' s cinematography is interesting throughout as he sifts through one artfully framed shot after another then seguing into more aesthetically - pleasing territory with filters and lighting . the imagery , alone , smoothed out a lot of the more negative aspects of this film ( but , not the exploding pumpkin patch - \u2026\nin the shadowy world of 2010 ' s unauthorized low - budget quasi - sequels to halloween iii that lean way heavy on the purples and pinks , hellions is totally like what bootleg halloween iv could have been if halloween iii had made so much money right out the gate that unaffiliated producers everywhere were like , ok ! so what happens next ? and came up with some crazy ideas whilst freebasing melted - down vhs copies of labyrinth all night until the fumes drove them from the office bathroom and / or caused them to pass out having the weirdest dreams and that dream would have been hellions and instead of sleeping they drove out to the nearest pumpkin farm in ontario the very next day and made this movie . nominally\u2026\nhellions is incredibly scary . mcdonald does a terrific job building the tension and suspense early on . i was on the edge of my seat just waiting for something terrible to happen to dora . i literally had to get up and turn some lights on because it freaked me out that bad . major kudos to mcdonald and crew for being able to accomplish that .\nmore so at these screenings than others , the directors , cast and crew of these films compliment and cheer on the rowdy and raucous film viewing mob , while we watch these action - packed , shocking and sometime horrific films . it\u2019s an obscene celebration of art \u2013 but we wouldn\u2019t have it any other way .\nno one wants a horror movie ridden with cliche scares and plot points , but there is something to be said for one that can tap into familiar territory but deliver a fresh take on it . director bruce mcdonald certainly tries to do something along those lines with hellions , but the traditional halloween shenanigans are far more entertaining than the muddled surreal spin he puts on them .\nthe film also has a really cool style . about halfway through the film , when shit really begins to get real and pick up , the color filter shifts . i\u2019m not sure it goes to full on sepia or something similar , but it sorts of takes the movie into this dream - like world . it\u2019s a really nice touch and helps the movie start to mess with your mind . there is also one superb shot of dora running with the moon in the background with an orange sky . it\u2019s beautiful and reminded me of the scene halloween iii : season of the witch with trick - or - treaters from around the world out and about .\nbefore a blood moon turns the autumnal splendor of a small town to a fetal pink , \u201chellions\u201d has the eerie quality of halloween night in an \u201980s horror film , where suburban normalcy ends at dusk . dora ( chloe rose ) wiles away the afternoon in a pumpkin patch , smoking a joint with her boyfriend ( luke bilyk ) , but the day takes a dramatic turn when her doctor ( rossif sutherland ) informs her that she\u2019s four weeks pregnant . the news of this seemingly immaculate conception shocks dora enough to keep her inside the house while her mother ( rachel wilson ) and little brother ( peter dacunha ) go out trick - or - treating , but she doesn\u2019t have much time to process it in peace .\nthe plot of this halloween - based canadian horror film makes little sense and plays out like a teenager ' s disjointed pregnancy nightmare , but what it lacks in coherence it makes up for in production design and includes a few really eerie scenes and lots of genuinely creepy costumed kids . far from a classic , but well worth watching .\nas a whole , hellions fails to match pontypool as it is clearly not of the same caliber . the plot is relatively simple and not too different from your average home invasion thriller . it tries to strive for originality by introducing a supernatural twist to the subgenre . regrettably the execution of the plot devices and the treacherous pacing of the story combined with bleached out visuals marred the experience .\n\u201cthe nightmare\u201d ( director : rodney ascher ) \u2014 a documentary - horror film exploring the phenomenon of sleep paralysis through the eyes of eight people . they ( and a surprisingly large number of others ) often find themselves trapped between the sleeping and awake realms , unable to move but aware of their surroundings while subject to disturbing sights and sounds .\neven the abstract imagery of bach\u2019s toccata and fugue in d minor , and the serene world of the candle - bearing pilgrims who accompany schubert\u2019s ave maria , are not without power . the film comes to a halt only for an unnecessary intermission with a dancing animated\nsoundtrack ,\nand perhaps musicologist deems taylor\u2019s introductions with their studied casualness .\nkevin bacon , keanu reeves and eli roth are among the bigger names aiming to generate buzz and raise gooseflesh in the park city at midnight sidebar at the 2015 sundance film festival , the lineup of which was announced today alongside those of the festival\u2019s spotlight and new frontier sections . fresh off his turn in \u201cjohn wick , \u201d reeves stars [ \u2026 ]\nbruce mcdonald is best known for his previous film pontypool , a tale of a zombie apocalypse spread by the spoken word set within the confinement of a radio station . very creative and incredibly suspenseful , pontypool really knocked me for six and i loved every minute of it so imagine how excited i was to be sitting down to watch his follow up .\nofficer mike corman rescues dora . thinking they hear dr . henry\u2019s screams , dora returns to the house with mike , but it turns out to be another hellion illusion . mike finds runes drawn on the wall that translate to harvest , birth , and sacrifice . upon confirming that dora is pregnant , mike explains that he confronted the hellions during a previous halloween blood moon when they came for his pregnant wife sherri .\nmy one complaint is the story isn\u2019t completely coherent . i can\u2019t tell you what was real or what was fake . ultimately i\u2019m not even sure why these kiddie creatures want dora\u2019s baby . there are some references to some history these creatures have with this small town , but nothing is really that clear . i think this actually makes me appreciate hellions even more . the story isn\u2019t that tight or clear and yet i still loved this movie .\nmixing elements of \u201cils\u201d and \u201cthe strangers\u201d with \u201cinside\u201d ( review here ) and \u201ca nightmare on elm street , \u201d the strong start to \u201chellions\u201d comes from an early uncertainty as to what type of thriller it even is . the setup teases touches of paranormal pregnancy , home invasion horror , and supernatural slasher in ways where the distinct lack of rules for how perception is played with creates a \u201cstay on guard\u201d sense of heightened alert and constant questions .\nthe surreal setting bears down hard and a nyah - nyah - nyah soundtrack of children\u2019s voices grows gratingly cacophonous . by this point , plenty of people will mentally , and perhaps literally , head for the exit with understandable justification on their side . for anyone more overwhelmed by the force and feel of the film\u2019s first half , imagery still burns strong , even with possibly illegitimate purpose .\nopera oblivia , the band\u2019s latest and most experimental release proved itself in a live setting : lotus eater and nightliner rhapsody transcended pop punk - esque vocal hooks and instrumentation to become colossal live tracks while closing song thresher rounded out hellions \u2019 performance with a bold assertion of their performative creativity and energy . special mention to drummer anthony caruso , who struck every single part of his kit with guts from start to finish and didn\u2019t once miss a beat .\npint - sized boogeymen spoil halloween in a big way in hellions , a hard - sell horror flick about the unthinkability of teen pregnancy . bruce mcdonald ' s latest is a genre - freak - only affair that even at 81 minutes feels like a joke that takes much too long reaching its punch line ; though horror fests may bite , commercial prospects are slim despite the fanboy - friendly presence of robert patrick as a grizzled small - town cop .\n\u201cthe tribe\u201d ( ukraine ) ( director and screenwriter : myroslav slaboshpytskiy ) \u2014 set at a ukrainian boarding school for the deaf , the film\u2019s narrative unfolds purely through sign language without the need for subtitles or voiceover , resulting in a unique , never - before - seen cinematic experience that engages the audience on a new level . cast : grigoriy fesenko , yana novikova , rosa babiy , alexander dsiadevich .\nhellions stars chloe rose , robert patrick and rachel wilson and follows dora ( rose ) , a rebellious teenager who finds out that she is pregnant . wanting to avoid all sense of responsibility she decides to celebrate halloween by going out to a party . so , after dressing up in her angel costume , she eagerly awaits the arrival of her boyfriend until a malevolent group of monstrous trick - or - treaters come knocking at her door with the intention of taking her unborn child .\nthat what they ' re watching isn ' t strictly objective reality . dora ' s body is no longer her own , making the home - invasion analogy a blunt but potent metaphor for her feelings of powerlessness . other horrors - of - new - mom - dom analogies are effectively used throughout the film , particularly womb - like jack - o ' - lanterns , and raw chicken eggs splattering on translucent window panes .\nthe world\u2019s scariest publication , scream \u2013 blood , guts , gore & more ! we are the world\u2019s number one print & digital horror magazine . we cover films , celebrity interviews , dvds / blu - rays , festivals , books , games , comics , graphic novels , fiction / non - fiction , photography , clothing / fashion , news , reviews , previews , competitions , on - location film reports & much , much more !\nthankfully redemption can be found in the performances delivered by chloe rose and robert patrick . chloe did a wonderful job in leading the film and went the mile to make her performance wholly believable . patrick , known to most as the relentless t - 1000 , plays the town sheriff who comes to her aid . bringing a sense of mystery to his character , patrick is very likable in the role and offers adequate support to rose without overshadowing her .\nsoon , the trick - or - treater announcing doorbells turn sinister . the film is like one of those inherently creepy images of halloween in the 1920s come - to - life . small , childlike forms , draped in dresses and overalls , and adorned with unsettling masks locked in benevolent expression , terrorize dora . they whisper in her head . they want her baby . these demonic little things invade her home and force this angel out into the red night .\nthe vanguard programme is often filled with unusual , challenging , and experimental films that push the boundaries of what you typically see on the big screen . it can be a hit - or - miss section to choose from . this year\u2019s crop of films continues that mandate . one that seems to be grabbing attention early on is the south korean film collective invention . in what promises to be a humorous satire , a mutant fish - man becomes a national celebrity .\ni love love love movies that take place on or around halloween . most horror fans probably feel the same way , but it\u2019s my favorite holiday and because of that there\u2019s a special joy i get when a movie uses halloween as a setting . seeing the costumes and the decorations and others celebrating a day i love is a real treat . no matter how many movies i\u2019ve seen that take place on halloween , i\u2019m constantly looking for new ones to add to the october rotation . i am very happy to say that hellions absolutely belongs on everyone\u2019s mandatory october watch list .\n( newly available on blu - ray / dvd ) rather than a static motion picture , fantasia was originally conceived as a repertoire , a selection of presentations that over time could be augmented by new pieces while old ones were retired , like an orchestra rotating its concert lineup \u2026 ten years ago , amid the wreckage at the end of the 1990s disney renaissance , the disney studio marked fantasia \u2019s 60th anniversary with fantasia 2000 , a film intended to honor in a way the original repertory conception of fantasia .\n\u201cthings of the aimless wanderer\u201d ( rwanda - u . k . ) ( director and screenwriter : kivu ruhorahoza ) \u2014 a white man meets a black girl , but then she disappears . the white man tries to understand what happened to her while also trying to finish a travelogue . the film concerns the sensitive topic of relations between \u201clocals\u201d and westerners , as well as paranoia , mistrust and misunderstandings . cast : justin mullikin , grace nikuze , ramadhan bizimana , eliane umuhire , wesley ruzibiza , matt ray brown .\nanyway , what an ugly - looking movie ! the majority of it was filmed ( that is , filtered to death later ) in a candy - ish lavender tint , for no reason other than that the action takes place at night and we wouldn ' t be able to otherwise see anything . the onscreen violence is filmed like billions of other action scenes you ' ve seen on television since the arrival of hd digital film ( that annoying staccato frame rate thing where it looks like it ' s being shown through a hand - cranked projector ) .\nthe set - up for\nhellions\nis blessedly simple : dora ( chloe rose ) , a typically moody high school senior , discovers she ' s four weeks pregnant on halloween . dora is unsure of how to broach the subject with chops - busting boyfriend jace ( luke bilyk ) and approachable - but - overbearing mom kate ( rachel wilson ) . in fact , dora can barely find the words to talk to sensitive gynecologist dr . henry ( rossif sutherland ) . but dora doesn ' t have to wonder what she ' s going to do for long because she ' s soon confronted with bigger problems : pint - sized , costumer - wearing kids who start by egging dora ' s house , then destroy property and anyone who gets in their way .\nilium , new york\nby patrick stephenson from albany , n . y . - a post -

hatted coolie mushrooms bowing gravely to one another , made an indelible impact on me the first time i saw the film as an adult ; and the joyously whirling tall - hatted cossack thistles and swirling - skirted orchids in the\nrussian dance\nare almost as memorable ) . or the majestic winged horses and flirting centaurs and centaurettes in beethoven\u2019s pastoral symphony . or the great stegosaurus - vs - tyrannosaur battle of stravinsky\u2019s the rite of spring ( quaint - looking when compared with dinosaur \u2019s computer animation , but far stronger emotionally ) .\nthis was another film from frightfest that i had missed and know i know i made the right decision to skip it . there ' s some potential here for a halloween set horror with demon ' s disguised as trick or treating children but on the whole it ' s a bit of a mess . chloe rose is a 17 year old who learns from a doctor , on halloween that she ' s pregnant . she returns home to an empty house and is soon being harassed by some young masked trick or treater ' s . to start with it could be just a prank but things take a turn for the violent when it appears they are after her unborn child . there ' s plenty of style and some nice imagery on\u2026\nthe lack of rules regarding the trick - or - treaters , their goals and their realm is also extremely problematic . based on the look of the film , you\u2019d think that dora is the one who\u2019s trapped there , but apparently other townsfolk can traipse in as well . at one point , doctor henry gets caught up in the madness and then so does a painfully underdeveloped town cop played by robert patrick . neither add much to the narrative or the mythology . they\u2019re primarily there so that dora can get her hands on a shotgun and so that we can get some additional carnage . they\u2019re fleeting thrills that add nothing to the big picture . their screen time would have been much better spent focusing on dora\u2019s efforts to figure out what\u2019s happening and how to beat it .\nwhat mcdonald and trottier don ' t do is establish dora ' s baby - phobia as a symptom of her character and not her age . that ' s admittedly a challenge given the brief time we get to know dora . but rose , clad in a basic halo - and - wings angel costume for halloween , seems to represent a type , not an individual . we arguably don ' t need to know much about dora , but there isn ' t much in the film about her dreams that don ' t make her seem like a personality - less cypher . she ' s supposed to be average , and mcdonald refreshingly doesn ' t stigmatize her teenage pregnancy . in fact , he goes out of his way to show that doctor henry is caring , and that both kate and jace are friendly enough .\nreleased in 1940 , fantasia was a critical and popular failure in its own day ( roger ebert blames a war - related shortage of whimsical spirit ) ; but with the passage of time it has gradually been completely vindicated . endorsed in the 1950s by high - minded educators and culture critics for its popularization of classical music ( as well as the\nscience\nand\nculture\nconceits of the rite of spring sequence\u2019s primeval history and the pastoral \u2019s use of greco - roman mythology ) ; then embraced by the 1960s counterculture for its dreamlike , nonlinear imagery ; and ultimately hailed by virtually all film critics for its undeniably glorious , groundbreaking , visionary animation , fantasia has taken its place as one of the unquestioned all - time great animated films , indeed , one of the all - time great films , period .\na bunch of little hellions show up at a pregnant teenager ' s house on halloween and then expect me to sift through subtext for about 70 - fucking - minutes and maybe i wouldn ' t have been so annoyed if the movie didn ' t look like absolute shit , i ' m sure the lousy performances didn ' t help either . for a majority of the running time i was mostly bored & annoyed because i didn ' t give a shit about what was happening on the screen and once the ending rolled around , instead of a redeeming twist or payoff , i was just sorta like\nhuh ? that ' s it ?\ni had my notebook in front of me and when i wasn ' t scribbling\nthis is kinda stupid ,\nor at the bottom of the page in all - capital lettering\nso , so stupid ,\ni was doodling little ghosts and pumpkins and skeletons , because i was that disengaged .\nwith a powerful performance by aaron paul and very believable teenagers played by the whole cast ,\nhellion\nis a deep and meaningful story that often fails to connect when it needs to , but other times when it does , it does so with vigorous pride . after the death of his wife , hollis ( aaron paul ) must deal with his teenage son getting in trouble with the law and dragging his younger son into that trouble , all while dealing with a depressing drinking problem . there are many themes explored throughout this film , but it never seems lie enough , and i normally enjoy open endings to great films , so that it keeps me guessing , but this felt a little too unfinished for my liking .\nhellion\nis a great story , told very well , but it is not without it ' s faults . aaron paul has a bright career ahead of him , and i cannot wait to see what he does next .\nafter starting the holiday relaxing with her boyfriend and a joint in a pumpkin patch , things are about to go very badly for dora ( chloe rose ) . first a routine visit to her doctor reveals that she ' s pregnant . then , after her mom and brother have left the house for trick - or - treating , the gates of hell open up . or something .\nthe bad vibes start off promisingly , as a couple of kids with exceptionally creepy costumes come to the door for candy , then keep returning for reasons dora doesn ' t understand . but rather than engage in slow - build horror , pascal trottier ' s screenplay flips the switch into poultergeist y chaos : everything turns pale pink , the house fills with savage winds , and voices from nowhere whisper menacing things . sadly , the pink tint remains even after the winds cease \u2014 inspiring visual fatigue that overwhelms some strong costume design and visual fx work .\ncutaways to spinning clocks and the like inspire us to wonder how much of this is in chloe ' s head . those signals continue even after her phone calls for help lead to visits from her doctor and patrick ' s character , who seems to have some experience with baby - obsessed halloween gremlins . unconvinced that any of this is actually happening , we might be excused for having a hard time caring about the violent action , but most viewers will at least stick around in hopes of an intelligible explanation in the end . they ' ll be disappointed .\n) . chloe rose stars as dora , your fairly typical 17 - year - old . she dresses in a lot of black , in a fashion i suppose kids today would say is goth . i wouldn\u2019t say it\u2019s goth , but she has that hot topic look . there\u2019s actually a great scene with her early on in the waiting room of a doctor\u2019s office . its halloween day and a little girl in a halloween costume is waiting next to her . dora compliments the girl\u2019s costume and then the little girl says , \u201ci like your costume as well . \u201d puzzled , dora informs the girl that she\u2019s not wearing a costume . this was cute , funny scene , in a movie that is otherwise quite dark .\nonce dora sees the doctor ( rossif sutherland ) she learns that she\u2019s pregnant . she\u2019s completely stunned by the news . she can\u2019t believe it . there\u2019s no way she could possibly be pregnant . she\u2019s only had sex with her boyfriend jace ( luke bilyk ) once . but hey , once is all it takes !\nback at home her little brother remi ( peter dacunha ) is getting ready to head out for an exciting night of trick - or - treating with their mother ( rachel wilson ) . dora is supposed to go to a halloween party but given her recent pregnancy development she doesn\u2019t much feel like partying . she decides to stay home but changes her mind after he mother convinces her to enjoy her youth .\ndora gets dressed , calls up her boyfriend and waits for him to arrive . as she\u2019s waiting a couple of trick - or - treaters knock on the door . these kids have incredibly creepy , old timey costumes . these are like the type of costumes you see in old halloween pictures from the 1930\u2019s . one kid is wearing a metal bucket on his head and the other has a canvas , scarecrow - like sack . these little creeps have no manners as they refuse to say trick - or - treat , but dora still gives them candy .\nsome more times passes . dora\u2019s boyfriend never shows up , so she calls repeatedly but gets nothing . the trick - or - treaters come back and things begin to get really weird . these little freaks want dora , and more specifically want the baby in her tummy and they\u2019ll do anything to get it . the movie then becomes a battle between dora and these freaky kids .\neric kohn and anne thompson discuss their favorite films of the year so far . they also debate several new releases and share some streaming recommendations .\nin an episode dedicated to the show within the show , \u201cglow\u201d illustrates its grand capacity for storytelling , and the very good tv podcast breaks down how .\nrules weren\u2019t meant to be broken when it comes to tv episode lengths , but these 10 examples \u2014 introduced on the very good tv podcast \u2014 are clear exceptions .\nafter studying under cinematographer ed lachman , shevaun mizrahi forged her own unique filmmaking path with its own set of rules .\nthe actress and director both love the genre , but as they told indiewire , they also knew it needed to be retrofitted to tell the true story of catherine weldon and sitting bull .\nlane and schoenbrun discuss how her interest in morgellons disease patients ( \u201cthe pain of others\u201d ) and his exploration of the slenderman myth ( \u201ca self -

writer jeremy garelick has polished comic actors kevin hart and josh gad plugging away gamely , he shies away from his own darkly funny premise , and instead loads up on kooky supporting players , broad slapstick , and joke after joke about how male friendship is kinda icky\u2014and possibly gay . after coming up with a clever ( ish ) title , garelick apparently went into cruise control . isn\u2019t there some fine that can be levied against filmmakers who waste a good premise ? [ noel murray ]\n\u201creboot\u201d has been a depressing and meaningless buzzword for a while now , but there\u2019s something particularly dispiriting about a reboot that resets a lousy movie ( in this case , 2007\u2019s timothy olyphant - wasting hitman ) into an equally lousy ( if ever so slightly less dull ) movie . here , once again , is the bald , barcoded , and entirely conspicuous video game protagonist who shoots his way through a nonsense plot , his near - invincibility inciting surprisingly chintzy special effects along the way , in between the ample time this movie spends on scenes of people staring at computer screens as face - recognition programs run . it shouldn\u2019t be hard to make an entertaining b - movie about a genetically engineered assassin , but it may be time for the hitman franchise to quit while it\u2019s behind . presumably an even lower - rent version of max payne will appear in a year or two to take its place . [ jesse hassenger ]\nkinja is in read - only mode . we are working to restore service .\ndora ( chloe rose ) is home alone on halloween . when three kids show up at her door in masks , she thinks they are regular trick or treaters . despite dora giving them candy , they come back to keep terrorizing her . at first it\u2019s normal stuff like egging and pumpkin smashing , but it evolves into a much stranger assault from demons who clearly have supernatural powers ."]}

prone for the traditional financier .\nbest actor and best actress or best supporting actor and best supporting actress ? in your film , it is difficult to figure out who plays the actual leads and who plays the supporting roles .\npolice inspector samar pratap singh is transferred to motihari , in the indian state of bihar , along with his wife , manjari and a daughter . he is honest and diligent and these attributes sets him up against his superior - the district superintendent of police , as well as his subordinates and fellow officers . his diligence in maintaining law and order , and his belief in justice for all , regardless of one ' s background , makes him a powerful enemy in the shape and form of bachu yadav who is the local mla of the ruling political party , and will not stop at anything to get rid of samar and his family , by hook or by crook , and no one will dare to stop him . written by rajoo ( gunwanti @ hotmail . com )\nthat is an astonishing output in an industry where finance is notoriously difficult to come by . how has he done it ? to start with , he has found innovative ways of financing his films . for example , when he made ` ` ankur ,\nmost filmmakers wanting to be part of the new cinema , went to the film finance corporation ( now the national film division corporation ) . the ffc was set up by the government expressly to fund a different kind of movie . but being a government corporation , it obviously had its red tape . benegal , instead , persuaded blaze film enterprises , hitherto the main agency for showing advertising films in cinema theatres , to turn producer . that thinking - out - of - the - box approach continues to be a benegal trade - mark : blaze produced two more features (\nnishant\nand\nbhumika\n) while\nkondura\n/ anugraham had an andhra pradesh producer .\nsamar\nand\nhari bhari\nhad government ministries as the financiers ,\narohan ,\nsurman\nand\nantarnaad\nwere funded by co -

occupation with the cataclysmic forces which are taking india from tradition to modernity , from a deeply conservative , rigidly hierarchical society to a more open , democratic and egalitarian one .\nso is everybody who cares for the well - being of meaningful cinema . it ' s easy to write off his kind of films in these profit - driven times , but the very fact that benegal , as active as he ' s ever been in his career , continues to project his humanist , socially informed vision on the big screen , and on his own terms at that , is cause enough for unstinted applause . but that surely isn ' t the reason why samar , which marks benegal ' s return to a rural indian setting , has bagged the best film award . the jury has lauded the work for the innovative and human manner in which the director structures and presents a continuing social evil .\nall your three new films have used , in other words , essentially cinematic techniques to drive their narratives . where has the great novel gone ? or the powerful short story that inspired film - makers to attempt a celluloid rebirth ? have movies finally turned away from great literature ?\nsoon after , he ' s scheduled to start work on his most ambitious film to date , both in terms of budget and star cast . zubeida , featuring rekha , karisma kapoor , manoj bajpai and amrish puri , is the last part of a trilogy that includes mammo and sardari begum . it ' s clear that benegal has never worked with a bigger budget , but he says : the budget for zubeida is well below any budget for that size of film . the seasoned filmmaker is looking forward to directing the flavour of the season , karisma . an actor is an actor , he emphasises . any actor who is successful consistently has to have talent . i see no problem with karisma .\ni do not think so . i have adapted a novel as difficult , as complex as dharamvir bharati ' s and tried to film a story that was very complicated , very literary in its treatment . it is not that we are moving away from great literature but that we are always attempting new experiments with cinema to see how far we can go .\nin one line . . the best thriller from bolly / hollywood . yes ! you have read it right . not even hollywood has ever done a movie with such a superb script . i am sure no one from hollywood has seen the movie , coz if i was a producer , that would be the first thing i would do . without giving anything away , just let me tell you , how much can you do with a real time movie , with just two characters inside a house and a radio which says that a killer is running free in the city . just watch it ! i saw it back in 1999 - 2000 , and i saw it yesterday and though you know the ending , you just cant get out of the movie , its so gripping . ram gopal verma is undoubtedly the best director india has right now ( shekhar kapoor doesn ' t make hindi movies ) . its not your\nkeep your brains out\ntypical ' mass ' movie directed by the johars & chopras with the khans running around the zintas and mukherjees , its a thinking man ' s movie . no matter who you are , if you are reading this which means you know movies , you will enjoy this movie .\nyes . this is a film about women ' s rights . women ' s reproductive rights . the main roles are played by shabana azmi , surekha sikri , alka trivedi , nandita das , rajeshwari sachdeva . there is also a sixth woman , seema bhargava . they are a formidable team of actors . they put into life some actual case studies . just as in\nis a good thing . it opens up the windows to a larger role for cinema . the special mentions for kishore kadam and seema biswas also highlight the fact that the key performers in the film have done a good job . these special mentions are meant to compensate them for the fact that they must have missed the best actor and best actress awards by a very small margin .\nin thematic terms , his next venture , hari bhari , charts new territory . it revolves around women ' s rights , especially their reproductive rights , says the director . the film , funded by the union family welfare ministry , reunites benegal with long - time favourite shabana azmi after a seven - year hiatus . it narrates the individual tales of five women which , when tied together , yield a panorama revealing how much of a struggle it is for rural indian women to retain control on the most pivotal role of their lives , child - bearing . besides shabana , the ensemble cast includes surekha sikri , nandita das , rajeshwari sachdev and rajit kapur . i expect to finish the shooting by the end of august and the film should be ready by november , benegal says .\nwhile still a teenager , and well before he had even given thought to a career in films , the young kumudlal was married to shobha in a match arranged by their parents in the usual indian style . their lifelong marriage was a harmonious and conventional one , and despite his film career , the couple retained a very middle - class outlook and value system , bringing up their children in a remarkably simple home , with traditional values . they were the parents of one son named aroop ganguly and three daughters named bharati patel , rupa verma and preeti ganguly . their son , aroop kumar ganguly , featured as the hero of exactly one film , bezubaan ( 1962 ) , which flopped at the box office . he then made a career in the corporate world . ashok ' s eldest daughter , bharati patel , is the mother of the actress anuradha patel , who is married to the actor kanwaljeet singh . ashok ' s second daughter , rupa verma , is the wife of the actor and comedian deven verma . ashok ' s youngest daughter , preeti ganguly , was the only one of his daughters to enter the film industry . she acted as a comedian in several hindi films during the 1970s and 1980s , and died unmarried in 2012 .\nrestricted to adult audiences ( 18 years or over ) . nobody below the age of 18 may buy / rent an a - rated dvd , vhs , umd or watch a film in the cinema with this rating . films under this category may contain adult / disturbing themes , frequent crude language , brutal violence with blood and gore , strong sex scenes and / or scenes of drug abuse which is considered unsuitable for minors .\nkalyug\nwas a wonderful modern - day replaying of the mahabharat , with the pandava industrial family being locked in a titanic battle with their kaurav rivals . but the times are different from the original mahabharat ' s , and external forces impinge on feudal values causing disconcerting results . this is even more evident in benegal ' s last film\nzubeidaa ,\nwhere a rajput princely family has to cope with a newly independent india ' s democratic aspirations .\n` ` bhumika\nwas the first in a long line of women dominated films . based on the real - life story of hansa wadkar , a marathi screen actress , the film ' s heroine ( played by patil ) is an urban extension of the shabana azmi characters of ` ` ankur\nand ` ` nishant\n: the men in her life also try to assert their ownership of her . they fail , but not for want of trying .\nby the early 1990s , the rising costs involved in film production and the commercialization of the films had a negative impact on the art films . the fact that investment returns cannot be guaranteed made art films less popular amongst filmmakers . underworld financing , political and economic turmoil , television and piracy proved to be fatal threat to parallel cinema , as it declined . however , we can still see the touch of parallel cinems in the movies of mani ratnam , nagesh kukunoor , anurag kashyap etc .\nduring the 1970s and the 1980s , parallel cinema entered into bombay\u2019s hindi film industry . this was led by such directors as gulzar , shyam benegal , mani kaul , rajinder singh bedi and saeed akhtar mirza , and later on mahesh bhatt and govind nihalani , becoming the main directors of this period\u2019s indian art cinema . benegal\u2019s directorial debut , ankur ( seeding , 1974 ) was a major critical success , and was followed by numerous works that created another field in the movement . these filmmakers tried to promote realism in their own different styles , though many of them often accepted certain conventions of popular cinema .\nsurya ' s weakness and cowardice serve to underline how deep the habit of subjugation has become : this is no tyrant imposing his will by force of personality ; this is tyranny by inheritance . the despot is dead , long live the despot . but at the end of the film , a little boy throws a defiant stone at the house of the landlord . this is\nthe seedling\nof the title , the first small expression of revolt by the oppressed . it may be a futile gesture , but it suggests that however deeply entrenched the inequities , the process of change is about to begin .\nfilmmaker bio : date of birth ( location ) : 14 december 1934 aliwal , hyderabad , british india ( now andhra pradesh , india ) shyam benegal ' s contribution to the hindi new wave cinema is remarkable . most of his early day films were artistically superior and commercially successful . he introduced some of the most talented artists to hindi films including shabana azmi , naseeruddin shah , om puri , smita patil and amarish puri . benegal ' s first film ankur narrated the indian rural life and the feudal system . his later films nishant , manthan , bhumika and junoon added strength to the new wave cinema movement in india .\nyou see that right from his very first film . the lushness and tranquillity of the rural landscape in\nankur\nseems to speak of anything but oppression . surya ( anant nag ) , the young landlord , sent against his will from the city to look after the family fields , seems more bored than cruel . but his public humiliation of kishtaya ( sadhu meher ) , his deaf - mute servant , for a petty theft , shows by the manner of its casualness how the ownership of people is assumed as a birthright both by the oppressor and the oppressed . later events , like his sexual relationship with kishtaya ' s wife ( shabana azmi ) , are further stages in proprietorship .\nsimultaneously , london ' s national film theatre ran a comprehensive retrospective of his work . the tributes , obviously , are coming thick and fast . but , then , they always have ever since ` ` ankur\nwas made in 1973 . that was almost 30 years ago , and the incredible thing is that shyam benegal not only continues to work but continues to work at a frenetic pace . in these three decades , he has made 20 feature films ( 21 if you count the two language versions of\nkondura\n) , two feature length documentaries ( on nehru and satyajit ray ) , a massive tv series ( the 53 - part\nbharat ek khoj\n, based on nehru ' s\ndiscovery of india\n) , 70 documentary and short films and hundreds of commercials .\nthese achievements are enough to make shyam benegal one of the most important filmmakers ever in indian cinema . but there ' s another , even more important reason . the new cinema or parallel cinema or art cinema , or simply , a film culture different from the mainstream , has grown and survived only in ` ` regional\nlanguages , where smaller budgets , orientation to local contexts and committed audiences have made such films viable . benegal has worked in hindi , the language of bollywood , bombay - babylon . he has shown for 30 years that it is possible to make films that are intelligent and real and important and make them in hindi . and by making them in hindi , he has taken his message of social commitment to a far wider audience than everyone else in the history of our cinema .\nthe movie tells the story of a middle aged muslim woman gazala ( shabana azmi ) , who is ill treated by her husband and sent back to her parent ' s home , just because she is unable to give birth to a son . gazala does have a daughter salma ( rajeshwari sachdev ) . the plot revolves around gazala ' s stay at her mother ' s home and the problems faced by the women of the house , being her mother and sisters - in - law . the film is a beautiful description of the problems faced by women in the name of fertility , or in a different sense the urge to have a male child , especially in rural india . shyam benegal provides a masterpiece , reflecting on the sorrowful plight of rural indian women . the irony lies in the point where the movie begins with a scene which shows a bull being brought to impregnate a buffalo . five different women , each with a different story depicting the harsh realities of a woman ' s life .\ncontribute to imdb . add a bio , trivia , and more . update information for raj pius \u00bb\nthe\nmost anticipated indian movies and shows\nwidget tracks the real -

rural exploitation , development of workers ' co - operatives , the feudalism in industrial or royal families , to give some examples - there is a discernible common thread . that thread is about change .\nin\nnishant ,\nthe oppressed revolt openly , the culmination of a long reign of terror let loose by a family of landlords . significantly , the revolt does not spring from the land ; it is brought about by the middle - class - the schoolteacher and the priest representing the potent combination of education and enlightened religion that is most likely to bring about social change in india .\nthrough the unlikely story of the development of a milk association in a village ,\nmanthan\nshows how an outside agency can act as a catalyst for change . the earnest young man ( girish karnad ) prodding the local farmers into resistance finds them overcoming their fatalism and fear because he can demonstrate first , that it is possible . and second , that there ' s a direct - and gettable - economic benefit to be obtained by putting up this resistance . in the end the forces for change may be defeated as in\nnishant\n( benegal isn ' t telling fairy tales with happy endings ) , but you see that society is changing and , sooner or later , the oppressed will fight their own battles .\nthis theme of change is present even in benegal ' s\nurban\nfilms .\nallied to this commentary on modernity and social change , benegal ' s films stress the struggle for women ' s empowerment . in a recent\nconversation\ni had with him on the stage of the british council auditorium in mumbai , i asked him if we could call him a feminist . this raised a few titters in the audience : obviously , people still believe that only women can be feminists .\nyes ,\nsaid benegal , as anyone who has seen the body of his work would expect .\nwhat is remarkable is that the director ' s heroines have struggled to assert themselves in hindi cinema , a medium notorious for its hypocrisy about women . hindi films have worshipped their heroines , in the abstract for the qualities of beauty and purity . then they have relegated them to their home as a bearer of food and children , neglected their role as a partner , and , worse , constantly scrutinised ( and punished ) them for transgressions from an impossible ideal . in most hindi movies , virtue has shone from their heroines with all the brightness that arc lights can muster . so pure have been these saccharine dolls that butter would congeal in their mouths .\nin this tradition of virtue run amok , benegal ' s heroines must seem impossibly wanton : in ` ` ankur ,\nthe maid - servant becomes pregnant by the landlord and is content to let her husband think of the child as his own ; in ` ` nishant ,\nthe violated wife of the school - teacher accepts the position of a kept woman ; in ` ` manthan ,\nthere is the unrealised but charged relationship between the leader of the co - operative ( girish karnad ) and a married village girl ( smita patil ) .\nusha , the actress , refuses to succumb which leads to her unhappiness and isolation , both inevitable in the context of indian society . rebels , and especially women rebels , are lonely people .\nthese are shyam benegal ' s early films . he did not set out , as he has said , to make feminist statements or talk about the empowerment of women then , but discovered that this theme was becoming a strong element in his films . not surprisingly , his later films like ` ` mandi ,\ntrikal ,\nmammo ,\nsardari begum\nand ` ` hari bhari\ntake up this theme more overtly and make it the central point of the narrative .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nyour social account may not have provided your email to us . please confirm or enter it below to complete your profile .\nwe found your email in our system . please provide your site password to link to your existing account .\nforgot your password ? enter your email address and we ' ll send you instructions on how to access your account .\nwe have not verified that the email belongs to you . please check your inbox for the verification email .\nto resend the verification email , please enter your email address and click submit .\nleonard maltin classic movie guide , copyright 2005 , 2010 . used by arrangement with penguin group ( usa ) inc .\ntm & \u00a9 2018 turner classic movies , inc . a time warner company . all rights reserved . code of conduct for this site | press room | privacy policy | | terms of use\nnot really . one sends films to the national awards out of sheer habit these days . one has ceased to expect anything . but , frankly , i was keen that ashok mishra , the person who has written the screenplay and dialogues for\nyou are right . there have been so many oppression stories , including several of mine , that had he not innovated with the treatment it would have been difficult to convey so many things at so many levels . a straight narrative would have been no new experience . the powerful crushing the less powerful . the privileged walking all over the underprivileged . the strong intimidating the weak . how many times can you tell the same story the same way ?\nplus , this time , i wanted to put forward many different viewpoints . the dalit problem is not just restricted to the countryside . it is as present in urban india , of course , in a very different way . i was keen that all these different viewpoints be incorporated into the text and its subtext .\nthat is why i needed a different kind of screenplay . where you get a whole lot of different viewpoints placed side by side . the urban characters who are playing out the original rural story come with their own baggage of beliefs . this creates its own contradictions and gives you different kinds of insight into the nature of the problem .\nyes and the screenplay exploited the format rather effectively . that is why i was keen that he should be recognised for his attempt . as for me , i don ' t count awards any more . . i just make my kind of films . it came as a happy surprise that\nyou keep winning awards all the time . this must be your umpteenth national award .\nit is very difficult to afford one . they have become far too expensive and those who put their money into such films expect from their directors a successful track record in terms of earning money from such films .\nbecause the kind of films people are watching has changed . it is like the media business . it has evolved , become very different from what it used to be . entertainment is the big thing today and few people are ready to risk going beyond the conventional definitions of entertainment .\nbut small films , different kind of films have started working once again . like your\nare doing the same today , finding new audiences , pushing back the frontiers of the entertainment business .\ntwo . one will be partially shot in rajasthan and partially in bombay in december . it is part fictional ; part biographical and is called\nyou will realise how the trilogy integrates and tells what is essentially one story .\nis being shot in hyderabad . it ' s for the ministry of family welfare .\nthere is a umbrella story that encloses all these individual case studies . it is all within the context of a family . one family .\nthat is the challenge . the challenge before satyajit ray when he made the apu trilogy . the challenge before kurosawa when he made\nto create a different language for cinema ; not blindly reproduce great literature on celluloid .\nas benegal gets into back -

maker\u2019s development , and there aren\u2019t enough new voices emerging .\nsimon : we\u2019ve created a campaign that presents us , the film - makers , as underdogs struggling to be heard , which is very in - keeping with the film\u2019s narrative and central themes . we were also wary of doing a video that was too earnest . we wanted to avoid making that video you see all the time with the film - makers on a couch addressing the camera . it works for some people , but we\u2019re not always comfortable with sincerity ; it\u2019s not that we\u2019re disingenuous , it just felt more honest and more \u201cus\u201d to do something that was gently irreverent and sort of mocking the classic kickstarter video , as well as ourselves .\nwhile many sequences in the film ring a bell , director anand has also takes cinematic liberties to show media indulging in corrupt practices and how can it manufacture news and thus influence public perception of anything under the sun .\nbut , like most writers , it ' s her work that interests me , not her life . anna kavan is best known today for her final novel , ice , a slipstream feminist work of stark brutality within a world that is being enveloped by approaching ice .\nkv anand is well within the control of his modus operandi here , as he pushes the envelope in his screenplay without offering lead importance to a single character . while vijay sethupathy shoulders the crux of the film , the events that take place are mostly results of teamwork and combination scenes which wouldn\u2019t work in singular . by avoiding heroism , needless songs or dragging emotions , anand margins his film with timely wisecracks and groundbreaking revelations which act for it .\neven though we were all planning to put some of our money in the film , we knew straight away that it wouldn\u2019t be enough . i have completed two campaigns on kickstarter before , so i knew about the process . we talked about it and decided that it was the right thing to do , not only because it would complete our finances , but also because it would force us to really work on creating a network around the film .\nthe director has also not forcibly injected songs into the script to follow the standard rules of a commercial film . the music is used smartly . this is not the first time that we have seen a film based on the struggle between good people and bad people in the media business but anand has handled the subject with maturity and has not resorted to unabashed media bashing . kavan also has a handful of flaws , for instance , one of the key characters gets shot in the gut and still manages to breathe and move around from dawn to dusk , defying the logic of medical science . but , we can afford to overlook such follies for the entertainment it provides for over two - and - a - half hours .\nafter the release of anegan director k . v . anand expressed his desire to commence his next film , which is said to be on the lines of the directors own ko . the project was confirmed on 22 march 2016 , with vijay sethupathi joining hands with popular director k . v . anand for a mega budget film . also this marked the collaboration of k . v . anand with ags entertainment for the third time after maattrraan and anegan .\nanand wastes no time in starting his story right from where the credits roll . media is a double edged sword and kavan talks about its deep rooted politics for trp gains and its ramifications . he narrates his take with elements that are informative , engaging and sometimes shocking too .\nthe film ' s ending was still a shock when the death actually played out . lester narrated the film ' s final lines , during which a pair of gunshots sounded in the burnham kitchen . he described some of the meaningful experiences of his life ( with a montage of images , some black and white from the past ) -

a westerns for paramount studios in the 20s , mostly zane grey stories . the action films holt made were so good that paramount used footage from his films in the early randolph scott movies of the 30s . scott even sported a mustache like holt so they could use the same film stock .\ndesperate for money , a rancher decides to trap and sell wild horses , using barbed wire . the local navajo tribe tries to persuade him not to do it .\nanother grapevine blu -

ha ' s were enough to send me galloping over to grapevine , six - shooters ablaze . much obliged , pardners .\nthe quality of the mgm film , which was recently restored by 20th century fox , is excellent . like the two recently restored john ford films noted previously , you would think that for the absence of spoken dialogue , the movie was filmed yesterday . it is a classic that does not age over time .\nthe epic film was based upon an actual incident , the collapse of a dam on the colorado river , which was constructed to provide irrigation to the desert . it was one of the first disaster films made in hollywood . george barnes and gregg toland , the cinematographers king had selected to record the story , captured the difficult life of those hearty pioneers who settled the desert area . the disaster sequence was ahead of its time in terms of believability . variety described the movie as \u2013 \u201cepic ! miraculous ! for massiveness of production , this film is incomparable ! \u201d the los angeles times later reported the winning of barbara worth was \u2013 \u201cone of the most important late silents . \u201d\na great story by zane grey and i am sure it was a fine film with a great production value , fine location photography by master cinematographer bert glenon ( of\nstagecoach\nfame ) . unfortunately the quality of this particular dvd was rather poor . the most of scenes are\nwashed out\n, i felt rather uncomfortable watching it .\nthe film began as a tribute to abraham lincoln , a personal hero to john ford and the political maneuverings required to commence this major undertaking . the plot presented both sides of the building of the railroad , from the central pacific with its mix of primarily irish and italians to the union pacific with chinese \u201ccoolies\u201d doing the grunt work . intertwined was a subplot of o\u2019brien being on the trail of the murderer of his father .\ni watched the first 30 minutes of whm this morning while on my treadmill . watching films on the treadmill is a great antidote to the dread malady of film buffs - couch potato - itis ( aka big rear - end syndrome ) . but i digress . i am happy to report that grapevine video has hit a home run right out of the park ! the image quality is stunning in blu - ray so i have to assume it is also excellent in regular dvd . and i watched it on my big screen tv , not my pc monitor . even the needle - drop vintage orchestral score seems synchronized with the picture . this is like seeing this film for the first time if you ' ve only seen the washed out edition with all details blasted white . even the opening scenes with an unbilled eugene pallette that seemed rather slow work much better now .\nin 1938 , bill hart re - released tumbleweeds . this was a daring move as sound had been in vogue for almost 10 years . by doing so , he was able to recoup some of his initial investment . he also added a spoken prologue , which is one of the most moving soliloquies in film history . up until then , his many admirers had never heard him speak on film . then , a man in his 60s , bill tells the story of tumbleweeds in his great shakespearean voice , honed by many years in the theater . he also took the opportunity to thank his many loyal fans over the years that were then most likely married and with children of their own , for supporting his films . he concludes by saying \u201cadios , amigos . god bless you all , each and everyone ; \u201d then bows slightly , turns around and walks off into the sunset .\none caveat . . . and i ' m not singling out grapevine for this . . . , i wish all pd film services utilizing dvd - r or bd - r technology would clearly disclose it . it ' s possible that some folks might be hesitant buying on demand write - once media , but given the relative obscurity of many silent films i suspect that resistance to recordable medium wouldn ' t amount to a hill of beans for any collector .\n3 . the winning of barbara worth ( 1926 ) \u2013 the story , which centers on bringing water from the colorado river to california\u2019s desert in the imperial valley , was based upon a popular novel by harold bell wright . the film is a major production , conducted under the auspices of director henry king and produced by samuel goldwyn . the photoplay stars the noted british actor ronald coleman , vilma banky and a young gary cooper in his first major role .\nthis particular movie , his last one , is a full length , epic western , that holds it own against any of the westerns made in that era , and much better than most of those made since . the film was directed by king baggot . it co - starred lucien littlefield as his \u201ctrusty sidekick\u201d , which set the trend for leading b western stars in the 30s and 40s having a comedic saddle mate . bill\u2019s love interest was the actress barbara bedford .\nas alluded to earlier , john ford recognized that the background location for a photoplay was as important as the script and the actors involved . he took his film crew to jackson hole , the mojave desert , and the victorville area in california . once again , he was able to capture the majesty of the old west with sweeping panoramic shots . his dakota land rush scenes with hordes of folks with gold fever was similar in scope to william s . hart\u2019s tumbleweeds depiction of the oklahoma land rush .\n( 1924 ) \u2013 this was john ford\u2019s first major western endeavor . the motion picture , in its truest sense , is an epic film , one that holds its own , even in the 21 st century . the souvenir programs , sold at its premier at hollywood\u2019s famous grauman\u2019s egyptian theater , besides listing \u201cthe characters and the players , \u201d noted that the film included \u201ca regiment of united states troops and cavalry , 3 , 000 railway workman , 1 , 000 chinese laborers , 800 pawnee , sioux and cheyenne indians , 2 , 800 horses , 1 , 300 buffalo , 10 , 000 texas steers . \u201dthe telling of the construction of the first trans - continental railroad even used the \u201cactual old time locomotives\u201d that were used in the building of the railroad : the jupiter from the old central pacific and engine 119 of the union pacific . also , the supporting cast included a few of those who actually were a part of the railroad construction crews whose challenging mission was fastening the belt buckle across the new country\u2019s mid - section .\nthe great k & a train robbery ( 1926 ) \u2013 there was only one tom mix . larger than life , he personified the western hero , perhaps not the way he really was , yet perhaps the way he should have been . mix was and still is the symbol of the cowboy film star , \u201can idol of a million boys . \u201d this is one of his best movies that have survived . it has non - stop action , fearless stunts , and humor . it was filmed on location in the royal gorge area of colorado .\nriders of the purle sage ( 1926 ) \u2013 this was based upon zane grey\u2019s finest novel , and it too stayed true to the novel . filmed in the alabama hills of lone pine , california , it is one of tom mix\u2019s rare serious roles . mix portrays the vengeful lassister , one of many who played the famous grey character on the silver screen . however , the film was not as popular with mix\u2019s fans as it lacked his signature non - stop action and was almost totally void of humor . it is a fine movie nonetheless .\nthe following list of recommended photoplays was selected first based upon the overall quality of the production and the unique contribution made to early western cinema . also , recommended films are based upon their availability to the general public , since many great and not so great western films of this era were inadvertently destroyed due to deterioration of the nitrate film , loss in an occasional studio fire , or hording away in a private collections . the following movies are listed in rank order as to my humble opinion of the most highly recommended films . they were selected after having viewed many silent westerns , including the often - referenced western films by historians such as the covered wagon , the squaw man , the pony express , straight shooting and the virginian .\nthe story about the dakota territory gold rush began with olive borden and her father bringing a string of thoroughbred horses out west . george o\u2019brien was a cowboy trailing cattle up from texas . the three bad men were following a life a crime , one which they were quite good at . in a subplot , bull stanley looks for his sister who ran off with a no account tinhorn only to end up as the local sheriff , saloon and brothel owner . the moral of the story is that there is some good in the worst of men , with the exception of sheriff layne hunter . it is surprising that there has not been a remake of this excellent story , then again , perhaps it\u2019s better off left alone as it is still a most enjoyable film experience as is .\nfilming of the land rush was so well done that those involved in the filming of cimarron , the first western to win an oscar in 1931 as the best picture , used some of the stock footage from tumbleweeds . bill , at age 49 , could still ride like the wind . king baggot did a marvelous job in recreating the settlers racing to claim a part of the cherokee strip . also , there is a memorable scene early in the film , where bill hart and his fellow wranglers are rounding up herds of cattle from the strip to move them to other ranges prior to the land rush . bill with his fellow cowpunchers , looks down on the thousands of cattle on what was to be the last major trail drive , and plaintively remarks : \u201cboys\u2026its the last of the west ! \u2019 it was a prophetic statement .\ncast : jack holt [ chane weymer ] , noah beery [ bud mcpherson ] , billie dove [ sue melberne ] , douglas fairbanks jr .

281 - 4114 .\nthe goethe - institut chicago and the facets cin\u00e9math\u00e8que are very proud to present a selected retrospective of films by werner schroeter , the renown german filmmaker and theater director who passed away in 2010 at the age of 65 . he directed 41 films and numerous stage plays and is undoubtedly one of german cinema ' s most important artists . however , schroeter was never fully appreciated as a part of the seminal movement which became known as the new german cinema , mostly due to the experimental nature of his filmmaking . in contrast to his contemporaries r . w . fassbinder , wim wenders , and volker schl\u00f6ndorff , schroeter spent the first phase of his career making 8mm shorts and television films . by the time he made his first feature ,\n( 1972 ) , the new german cinema had already firmly established its reputation at home and abroad .\nwhile the star directors of the new german cinema used their visibility to make realist films about recent german history , schroeter ' s filmmaking , for much of the 1970s , oscillated between avant -

esque theme of love working out for none of the characters .\nthe delight of this film , directed by nash edgerton and written with his brother joel edgerton and matthew dabner , is that it never pushes too hard or moves too fast . it lovingly , almost sadistically , lays out the situation and deliberately demonstrates all the things that can go wrong . and i mean all the things .\nshe was cast as\ntalia al ghul\nin george miller ' s\njustice league : mortal\nfilm in 2007 , but it was canceled . she campaigned for the same role in the dark knight rises ( 2012 ) and has expressed a wish to play the part opposite ben affleck in the dc extended universe .\n93 . \u201cnew interstitial flux phases in superconducting niobium film with square lattices of artificial pinning centers\u201d , v . metlushko , u . welp , g . crabtree , r . osgood , s . d . bader , l . e . de long , zhao zhang , s . r . j . brueck , b . ilic , k . chung and p . j . hesketh , phys . rev . b rapid commun . 60 , r12585 ( 1999 ) .\ndespite all of that , \u201carrival\u201d sags a bit in the middle , a point when it may lose some viewers for good . the \u201cfirst contact\u201d act is undeniably confident and the final thematically purposeful scenes of the film are stunningly ambitious , but the pace of \u201carrival\u201d softens a bit too much in the middle and one notices the sterility of the piece overall . without spoiling anything , maintaining the shock value of the twists of the final act forces some narrative decisions in the mid -

adaptation , whatever ) is an innocuous fairy tale about the shining power of puppy love .\ni saw the film when released in the hollywood version scott disliked . i have also seen the director ' s cut release of the film 25 years after the 1982 hollywood verson . the new york times has an interesting review and history of the film . near the end of the film , roy baty saves deckard in his final act , demonstrating androids capacity for empathy . in the novel , deckard grapples with the distinction and ultimately decides to quit his job as a bounty hunter , alluded to in the film ' s beginning . he realizes in the novel the distinction doesn ' t matter . to paraphrase one of deckard ' s comments in the novel : even androids have a life , no matter how paltry it is .\nif that all sounds familiar , it\u2019s because this is not , as it claims , a remake of endless love , but a remake , rip - off and complete and total bastardization of say anything as reimagined by a 14 year old in the middle of a sob - filled fight with its parents about curfew .\nscott spencer advises people who might celebrate valentine ' s day by seeing the new film version of his 1979 best - seller to avoid it instead .\nsee i loved the book and wasn ' t so much a fan of the film . i agree with mark norris ' s comment as well .\ncompared the film unfavourably with the novel , describing martin hewitt as miscast and criticising the narrative , though he did praise brooke shields ' s performance .\nit was not my first encounter with nolan : i met him at the very beginning of his career , in 2000 , just before the us release of memento , which had just come out of sundance . sitting in a red banquette at canter\u2019s deli in los angeles , nolan was the picture of the hopeful young film - maker , genuinely pleased to have someone to talk to about his film . he seemed a little nervous about memento\u2019s reception , and most relaxed when talking about the technicalities of its backwards - running time scheme . the film was shot for a mere $ 4 . 5 million , but after three screenings for studio heads in los angeles , it was turned down by almost every distributor in town , including the weinsteins \u2013 causing steven soderbergh , an early fan of the film , to comment , \u201cwhen a film like chris nolan\u2019s memento cannot get picked up , to me independent film is over . \u201d\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\njoely richardson has joined the cast of universal\u2019s \u201cendless love\u201d starring alex pettyfer and gabriella wilde . bruce greenwood also stars with shana feste helming the pic . scott stuber and pamela abdy of bluegrass films and josh schwartz and stephanie savage from fake empire will produce . tracy falco and j . miles dale will executive produce . it\u2019s [ \u2026 ]\nhowever , the movie more than anything else is gentle . the music is gentle . the stakes are gentle . even when david punches hugh in the face , it\u2019s gentle . the whole film was like an assault with a delicate weapon , like being beaten to death with a dandelion . which is strange for something trying so hard to be passionate ! and important ! teen love is the only love ! there\u2019s a half - assed theme of fighting for love , but the fights are so gentle , if it wasn\u2019t repeated ad nauseum in the script , you\u2019d never know .\na privileged girl and a charismatic boy ' s instant desire sparks a love affair made only more reckless by parents trying to keep them apart .\nfranco zeffirelli\u2019s operatic original is a pretty bad movie , but it did have a clear agenda : to exploit shields\u2019 notoriety as a teenage hottie , coming on the heels of \u201cthe blue lagoon . \u2019\u2019 the film\u2019s brilliant tag line : \u201cshe is 15 . he is 17 . the love every parent fears . \u201d\ni love blade runner . i splashed out \u00a3\u00a3\u00a3 on a snazzy remastered version with an additional 10 seconds of footage and a commentary which adds nothing to the film . i will probably go and see the sequel , if they ever manage to make it . i even wrote a ya novel in homage to it .\nlocating the remake ' s setting in georgia does nothing for the story ; the reasons likely had everything to do with that state ' s generous film production tax incentives .\nas for this story , i\u2019m kinda curious as to why it\u2019s completely apparent to me , yet totally missed by a surprising amount of people how much of this story is in the crazy boy\u2019s head . there\u2019s another , much darker and more satisfying film to be made about how horrible love can be and how obsession leads to insanity , but i guess idyllic teenage love that\u2019s so pure you could die from sugar shock is more marketable this time of year . oh well .\neveryone , that is , but jade\u2019s father hugh ( bruce greenwood ) . still mourning the loss of a son from cancer , he likens david\u2019s courtship of jade to losing another child . the character turns the film from a love story to a tale of one man\u2019s deepening psychosis , as he attempts to put one barrier after another between the young lovers . but , the film insists , any obstacle can be barreled over by a young - lovers - having - fun montage set to sensitive music .\nif there\u2019s any redeeming value to the film , it\u2019s as a case study of how far an adaptation can stray from the source material while still remaining , technically , an adaptation . the film features many scenes with analogues to the novel , but they\u2019ve been emptied out and drastically reworked , most notably a house fire that sets the novel into motion , but here shows up much later , and serves a considerably different purpose . that purpose , as with every element in the film , is to confirm the rightness of jade and david\u2019s passion for each other , any outside objections be damned . that\u2019s far removed from the source , but more troublingly , presented in the least challenging way possible . of course these kids belong together . they look great next to each other ! endless love never tries to look beneath that pretty surface . or maybe it doesn\u2019t dare , knowing there\u2019s nothing to be found .\nthis remake has almost nothing to do with spencer ' s novel . it ' s the kind of film you make when you ' ve run out of nicholas sparks books .\na fire at the butterfields\u2019 \u2014 which , in both the novel and 1981 film , was set by david and provided the primal act that precipitated tragedy \u2014 here ignites by accident and sets hugh on the road to redemption . he is merely the last of the butterfields to tell david how wonderfully his love has illuminated his life .\nthe story of a privileged girl and a charismatic boy whose instant desire sparks a love affair made only more reckless by parents trying to keep them apart .\n1 . safer for kids : like the 1981 version with brooke shields , endless love was adapted from the novel by scott spencer . the author wasn ' t involved in the project , having signed away the movie rights and remake rights in 1980 . this latest iteration makes numerous changes , including setting the story in georgia ( instead of chicago ) and throwing water on the obsessive protagonist ' s arsonist tendencies ( this hotheaded david only uses his fists ) . the new film also targets the teen demographic by toning down the action for a pg - 13 rating .\nnot great , not good , not putrid . worth a look if you think you can . it held my interest as of the father greenwood . do not have the film .\nroger ebert gave the film two stars , saying ,\nalthough there are a great many things wrong with the movie , this blunder on the narrative level is the worst\n.\nthe story is of a privileged girl and a charismatic boy whose instant desire sparks a love affair made only more reckless by parents trying to keep them apart .\nwatching\nendless love ,\nyou long for it to be riskier , edgier , or at least more reflective of actual teenage experiences and emotions . even the partying feels false , with freshly scrubbed kids talking about getting drunk and high without actually taking part in such activities or indicating their eventual effects . ( ostensibly , this creative decision was intended to secure a pg - 13 rating . )\nwhether he had indeed made a great film was not obvious to him , but that alone seemed to satisfy him : he had found one more thing he could reasonably claim uncertainty about .\nit was directed by franco zeffirelli & starred brooke shields , martin hewitt , shirley knight , don murray , james spader , richard kiley and tom cruise ( in his film debut ) .\nsubscribe to trailers : urltoken subscribe to coming soon : urltoken like us on facebook : urltoken subscribe to indie trailers : urltoken endless love official trailer # 1 ( 2014 ) - alex pettyfer drama hd the romance between two teenagers turns obsessive , dark , and disastrous . the movieclips trailers channel is your destination for the hottest new trailers the second they drop . whether it ' s the latest studio release , an indie horror flick , an evocative documentary , or that new romcom you ' ve been waiting for , the movieclips team is here day and night to make sure all the best new movie trailers are here for you the moment they ' re released . in addition to being the # 1 movie trailers channel on youtube , we deliver amazing and engaging original videos each week . watch our exclusive ultimate trailers , showdowns , instant trailer reviews , monthly mashups , movie news , and so much more to keep you in the know . here at movieclips , we love movies as much as you !\nwhy i watched this one ? brooke shields ' endless love was the first r rated movie i that i actually was able to see in theaters ( nobody asked me for an id ) without parental supervision . body heat was the second one just in case you were wondering . so since the original has that piece of worthless cogerson trivia . . . i figured i would check out the remake .\nafter opening on wednesday , the $ 120 - million\nrobocop ,\nan update on the 1987 sci - fi film , is expected to gross roughly $ 25 million through the holiday .\nwe get the sense that this film , which stars gabriella wilde and alex pettyfer , might not have the very happiest of endings , but it definitely looks like one to watch . . .\na modern - day take on the\nbeauty and the beast\ntale where a new york teen is transformed into a hideous monster in order to find true love .\ni find david ' s idealistic view on love a little far - fetched , because i can only imagine guys his age chasing girls all day and avoiding committed relationships .\nit didn\u2019t work to completely eliminate nolan\u2019s nerves in the weeks preceding the film\u2019s release . would the audience be able to follow the science ? would they be able to let go of the science and follow the emotion ? had he got the balance of story and spectacle right ? \u201ci\u2019ve always believed that if you want to really try and make a great film , not a good film , but a great film , you have to take a lot of risks , \u201d he told me . \u201cit was very clear to me that if you\u2019re going to make a film called interstellar , it\u2019s going to have to be something extremely ambitious . you push it in all the possible directions you can . not for its own sake , but because you know that if you\u2019re going to try to add something to the canon , besides fiction films and all the rest , and live up to the promise of that title and the scale of that title , you really have to go there . \u201d\na rebellious girl is sent to a southern beach town for the summer to stay with her father . through their mutual love of music , the estranged duo learn to reconnect .\nthe turnaround came at the venice film festival , where someone had told nolan the crowd could be particularly fierce . the film ended rather abruptly , to a black screen , and for a few seconds , there was silence . nolan had no idea what was about to happen . \u201ci kind of liked that , \u201d he recalled . \u201ci was very frightened , but i felt proud of that emotion . \u201d\nand if you have not seen either , i wholly recommend viewing the two in this order because the contrast is so stark you may actually go blind . watching the two in succession was like eating a dry piece of toast and following it by swallowing a live grenade . the original endless love is so bonkers it scored \u201cnext level\u201d on the mantzoukas scale and immediately won a place in my heart alongside mariah carey\u2019s epic , gliter .\ngirl talk is a weekly look at women in film \u2014 past , present , and future . while hollywood continues to struggle towards parity in the director\u2019s chair , the film festival world is playing major catch - up . at this year\u2019s sxsw film festival , the push towards parity is becoming more of a reality than ever before , as 33 % of all feature films at the fest are directed by women , while the shorts section boasts 59 % female directorship across its slate . it\u2019s a stark difference to the studio side of the industry . the usc annenberg inclusion initiative\u2019s latest study , \u201cinclusion in the director\u2019s chair ? gender , race & age of directors across 1 , 000 films from 2007 - 2017 , \u201d found that , of the 109 film directors associated with the 100 top movies of 2017 , 92 . 7 percent were male ; 7 . 3 percent were female . days later , the san diego state university \u2019s center for the study of women in television and film followed with the \u201ccelluloid ceiling\u201d study ,\nit should come as no surprise that the maker of memento and inception \u2013 two masterpieces of watchmaker cinema \u2013 should have wound up at the door of albert einstein , who deduced the postulates of relativity while processing patents for clocks at a bern patent office . few , though , could have anticipated the emotional resonance he gets from relativity in the film , as mcconaughey and his crew set down on a water planet where every hour spent means a seven - year chunk missed from his daughter\u2019s life back on earth . to say that interstellar is nolan\u2019s most emotional film isn\u2019t exactly accurate . it actually puts the audience through an entirely new species of emotion : a fiendish compound of grief , longing , loss and awe at time\u2019s immensity . this is how love shows up in a christopher nolan film .\ntwo crazy kids just out of high school fall madly in love even though alex pettyfer looks like he\u2019s 30 . still it\u2019s a harmless romance movie that is entirely melodramatic but watchable .\nthe only thing i enjoy more than watching an oscar - worthy film in theaters is watching a horribly scripted rom - com with wooden actors , cliche dialogue , bad accents , nonsensical plots and diabolical dads . so you can only imagine how much i loved watching endless love this week . you know what , i take that back . you can ' t imagine that , because never in the history of horrible movies has a human being enjoyed a movie this much . i loved it so much that i ' m tempted to march right back to that theater , steal the movie from them and take it out on a swanky valentine ' s day date .\nthe actress and director both love the genre , but as they told indiewire , they also knew it needed to be retrofitted to tell the true story of catherine weldon and sitting bull .\nsurround you written by jamie sierota , noah sierota , sydney sierota , graham sierota , jeffrey david sierota performed by echosmith courtesy of warner bros . records inc . by arrangement with warner music group film and tv licensing\nrock and roll doctor written by lowell george , martin f . kibbee ( as martin kibbee ) performed by little feat courtesy of warner bros . records inc . by arrangement with warner music group film and tv licensing\nthe soundtrack features music from many contemporary artists , including popular duo tegan and sara who perform an original song specifically made for the film , nonono , as well as the bird and the bee featuring matt berninger .\nwhat none of these folks seem to get is that endless love was meant to be a knife to the reader\u2019s heart , not the writer\u2019s . as that old elegant italian filmmaker was giving me fair warning , it turned out the knives were being sharpened for him , and\u2014unfortunately\u2014for several of his principal actors . and now a second generation is blundering into their own valentine\u2019s day massacre . as the late leonard michaels said , i would have saved them if i could .\nalex pettyfer and gabriella wilde star in the story of a privileged girl and a charismatic boy whose instant desire sparks a love affair made only more reckless by parents trying to keep them apart .\nit\u2019s so wonderful isnt\u2019t it ?

( i gave up control of the movie rights to my novel in 1980 . ) i had brief contact with the first filmmakers who tried to adapt my novel , and i had no contact whatsoever with the second wave .\n\u201ci have been shocked to realise how much more emotional this film is , \u201d nolan said a day later , when i met him at the officers of his production company , a tan bungalow nestled on the warner bros lot amid palm trees and azaleas , just a stone\u2019s throw from clint eastwood\u2019s malpaso productions . the extreme reaction has taken him aback , he said . \u201ci have spent years of my life thinking only about this film and i mean only this film . the responses where it\u2019s lacking \u2013 \u2018it\u2019s just a movie and it\u2019s pretty good , i liked it\u2019 \u2013 they are the things that kill you . this is my obsession for years , you just pour yourself into it . \u201d\nthis is nothing like the film ! i raged internally . i mean , this dick fellow writes about the future . why couldn\u2019t he predict the movie version would be awesome and pre - write his novel to be just like it ?\nthe force spearheading this new version of endless love was the producer of a long - running teen soap opera . i was familiar enough with the movie business to know the difference between a development deal and an actual motion picture . the movie business is full of false starts , projects begun and abandoned , fanfares trumpeted in front of doors that never open , stars that implode , directors who fall out of favor , executives who are fired , schedules that conflict , budgets that balloon and then burst .\nalex pettyfer and gabriella wilde star in the story of a privileged girl and a charismatic boy whose instant desire sparks a love affair made only more reckless by parents trying to keep them apart . . . more\na number of key scenes from the film were shot on location at jackson lake in butts county . the county film liaison worked closely with the georgia power company , who manages the lake , to secure the necessary permits for filming scenes in the water . a private lake house was also secured and utilized for over two weeks to shoot the lake scenes . because of the close working relationship between the county government and georgia power , the permitting process was accomplished in a day .\n5 .\nmy love , there ' s only you in my life\u2026\n: don ' t expect to hear the title song made insanely popular by diana ross and lionel richie ( and later covered by mariah carey and luther vandross ) . instead , twin sisters tegan and sara perform a new theme for this reboot ,\ndon ' t find another love .\nother musical contributions include\npumpin blood\nby nonono ,\nright action\nby franz ferdinand , and a soundtrack by composer christophe beck , who has scored such hits as the hangover trilogy , crazy , stupid , love . , pitch perfect , and the muppets .\nand gabriella wilde in the roles played by martin hewitt and brooke shields in franco zeffirelli\u2019s 1981 film . the shana feste - helmed update will have a third wheel on its opening weekend in the form of another \u201980s remake , sony / screen gems\u2019\nthe film was also noted to have one of the most spectacular one - man stunt displays when hugh butterfield gets hit by a car in new york city & the stuntman does a high end - over - end flip in mid - air .\nthe film ' s theme song , written by lionel richie and performed by richie and diana ross and also called\nendless love\n, became a # 1 hit on the billboard hot 100 , and was the biggest - selling single in ross ' career . billboard magazine chose it as\nthe best duet of all time\nin 2011 , 30 years after its debut . it spent 9 weeks at # 1 and received academy award and golden globe nominations for\nbest original song\n, along with 5 grammy nominations . the soundtrack peaked at # 9 on the billboard top 200 and was certified platinum . it also featured a second duet between ross and richie ,\ndreaming of you ,\nthat received considerable airplay but was never released as a single ."]}

[ 4 ]\nkaatru veliyidai is not at all a complicated film unlike what mani ratnam fanboys , no offense , would like to believe . looking from the lens of craft , kaatru veliyidai is a gorgeous , stylish film , well , of course , mani has assembled one of the best filmmaking teams currently working in india - dop ravi varman ( barfi ! ) , editor a sreekar prasad who needs no introduction , production designer sharmishta roy and the maestro himself , ar rahman . mani ratnam is still india ' s finest director of song sequences only challenged by sanjay leela bhansali for the top spot . kaatru veliyidai is a technical marvel , without a doubt .\nkaatru veliyidai is the rare love story where at the end of its two - hour - plus running time , you are most likely to feel no empathy or sympathy for its hero and heroine , unless , of course , you are a mani ratnam character yourself . because , only characters inside mani ratnam ' s head can make a stab at understanding why a ( supposedly ) sane woman would want to stay in an abusive relationship with a first - rate jerk for years . wait . actually they cannot . because in the film when a character wonders this question out loud , he gets the answer ,\nit ' s love . it ' s like that\n.\n\u201ci am not kidding when i say i had money , \u201d roomy told me when i met her recently . \u201ci had a lot of money . \u201d in the late 1990s , the khans moved out of their house in sunnyvale , calif . , \u2014 roomy called it a \u201c khudd , \u201d a punjabi word for \u201chole\u201d \u2014 and bought a 9 , 000 - square - foot mansion in atherton , the wealthiest town in silicon valley . they paid $ 10 . 5 million , all cash . the house had a pool , a tennis court and more than half a dozen marble fireplaces . they gave lavish parties for their friends and once , on a whim , spent $ 50 , 000 on wine .\n, \u0b95\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bae\u0bbf\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd ) 2002 is an award - winning tamil language feature film directed by mani ratnam . it stars p . s . keerthana , r . madhavan , simran bagga , nandita das and prakash raj . the film ' s score and soundtrack were composed by a . r . rahman . the film ' s title is a famous phrase from a poem written by subramanya bharathy , which literally means\nat intel , she had broken the rules by supplying inside information to someone else ; now she was willing to use it to make money for herself . khan began tapping her vast network , leaning on friends , associates and even a cousin to find new avenues of information . she made inroads into silicon valley\u2019s close - knit south asian community , mixing business and pleasure to her advantage . she invited sunil bhalla , an executive at polycom who was dating one of her close friends , to her home for a holiday dinner in december 2005 ; a few weeks later , she followed up to ask how his company\u2019s quarter was looking . she played auntie to a young woman from bangladesh who worked for an investor - relations company . before long , the woman was feeding her information on google , one of the firm\u2019s clients , and asking for money in exchange ( khan never paid her ) . because khan had been trading on her own , she often wasn\u2019t invited to one - on - one meetings with company executives like other money managers . \u201cthat is how you garner all your nuggets in a legal way , \u201d she said . she would talk to a young investment analyst she knew in new york named tom hardin . \u201ctom was my buddy , \u201d she told me . \u201cwe used to barter information all the time . \u201d\nduring a mission , vc ' s jet is shot down in pakistan and he is captured and jailed . while in captivity , he begins to feel remorseful about his attitude towards leela and then it is his love for leela - or so mani ratnam would like us to believe - that motivates him to break out of a pakistani jail not once , but twice in the most outlandish way possible . . . seriously , the final escape sequence feels like a 20 - minute - long ad for mountain dew but let us not digress .\nin 1999 , after nearly a year of working for rajaratnam , khan quit galleon , wanting to start trading her own money in the internet - stock boom . a month into trading solo , she was visited by f . b . i . agents , who confronted her with the evidence from her indiscretions at intel . in 2001 , she pleaded guilty to wire fraud , and for the next four years , chastened by her crime , she says , she played by the rules and steered clear of rajaratnam .\nhere ' s the thing : love is the laziest excuse for a screenwriter when he or she has nothing to explain character motivation and this kind of shenanigans can only be pulled off in indian commercial cinema . a corollary to this : providing no internal logic for your characters ' actions does not make for an intelligent screenplay . withholding answers to unlock multiple levels of a narrative is one thing , which stanley kubrick was a master in , and simply writing a paper - thin character - sketch and passing it off as a screenplay is another which is what mani ratnam has done with kaatru veliyidai .\na narrative movie does not work , most of the time , if there is a problem on the screenplay - level . every character has a journey . at the start of the film , the character does not have something - it can be money , a prize , the key to the galaxy or love . the character has to now rise above himself or herself , defeat his / her baser tendencies , become a stronger , better person and finally get what he / she wanted and / or needed in the first place . this is how a character arc is completed .\nkhan insists that she was driven by a desire to shield people : \u201cthey were all young kids . some of them were my relatives . because of the kind of relationship i had with them and how young they were , i was aghast that i was going to destroy their lives . \u201d she continued : \u201ci didn\u2019t lie for myself . i really lied for other people , which is very stupid . everybody knew what they were doing . when someone working at an institution like moody\u2019s comes and asks you for money , they know that is not what they should be doing . \u201d\ni had seen so many unattractive photographs of khan that i was surprised when a spunky woman with large , lively eyes and carefully blow - dried hair bounded up to me in my hotel lobby . khan , who is about 5 - foot - 2 and svelte , was dressed in a loosefitting cotton blouse and skinny jeans and carried a horseshoe - shaped , fuchsia louis vuitton bag and an ipad on which she tracks a handful of stocks \u2014 apple , caterpillar and cummins . she said she has no money to invest . \u201ci do it for the intellectual curiosity . otherwise my mind would be mush . \u201d\nvc feels that men and women are made differently , a man ' s job is to hunt and a woman has to appear beautiful , first and foremost , before she sets out to do anything else . vc gives leela a time and date to come to the marriage registrar ' s office and then stands her up . when leela confronts him , it turns out that vc had totally forgotten about the appointment . okay , a sexist and an inconsiderate man does not make the film so . also , women can fall for such men and even continue to stay with them for years before they come to their senses or not . the problem is that mani ratnam could not make an engaging movie out of this .\nwhen i visited , khan was a week away from celebrating her 56th birthday . she seemed addled , struggling to fashion a new identity for herself . khan has worked since she was 27 . when she was trading stocks on her own , she started her days at 6 in the morning and worked till 8 at night . \u201ceven when we had the big money , i worked , \u201d she told me . what bothered her the most , she said , is that \u201cthe thing that has made me has been taken away from me . \u201d her probation officer suggested she find work as a cashier , but khan believes she is capable of more .\nbut after regulation f . d . came into effect , companies became more guarded about divulging information . some hedge funds , which make money from specific events , like a takeover or an earnings report , had relied on their relationships with companies for insights . the change in regulation f . d . hurt them , and it came at a moment when the number of hedge funds was growing and competition was becoming fiercer . according to hedge fund research , a group that follows the industry , at the end of 1990 , there were 610 hedge funds globally ; at the end of 2001 , there were 4 , 454 . more regulation , heightened competition and tougher markets meant that hedge - fund managers were always seeking new advantages .\nthe gleeful bad - mouthing of khan went on for years : her flamboyance and her lying made for delectable reading , especially when it emerged that khan had not been entirely truthful with the f . b . i . even after she started cooperating , she manipulated them . suspecting that khan had been tipped off to the imminent takeover of hilton worldwide , investigators confronted her about shares she had purchased . khan said she bought them because she thought the jailing of paris hilton would be good publicity for the brand . she also took out a cellphone contract in her gardener\u2019s name so she could continue speaking to some of her contacts . she claims she wanted to protect them from the government\u2019s prying ; she also wanted to continue making legitimate money playing the markets .\nin 1981 , when khan was 23 , she saw an advertisement in a journal about studying abroad at kent state . she applied to the university\u2019s physics program , and when kent state offered her a partial scholarship , she leapt at the chance , telling her parents that if they didn\u2019t give her the money for the ticket , she would borrow it . in america , her ambitions grew . bored with studying in a small , provincial town in ohio , she applied and was accepted to columbia university\u2019s master\u2019s program in engineering , where she met sakhawat , a muslim from bangladesh . in 1985 , she followed him to california , defying her parents , who are hindu and disapproved of her choice . \u201cyes , we lived together in sin for a couple of years , \u201d khan said , laughing .\nkaatru veliyidai ' s failure lies elsewhere . mani ratnam believed that a romantic relationship between a man so heinous as vc and a woman as regular and commonplace as leela would make for great cinema . it would have , had mani given a reason for the proceedings . perhaps , it ' s the sex . maybe , there ' s something in leela ' s childhood that makes her want men like vc . even vc doesn ' t seem sincere about his love except for the time he screams\ni love you , i love you , i love you\nto make leela believe that he is truly apologetic about his thuggish behaviour and what happens right after this scene ? vc brings leela along to his army friends and he declares ,\nsee ? didn ' t i tell you she will come back ? that ' s my girl . will you ever find a girl like this ? you guys owe me a single malt .\nit\u2019s hard to know what khan\u2019s real motives were , but i tended to believe her expressions of sympathy for her young , ambitious colleagues , her guilt at exposing their wrongdoing in a climate of widespread rule - breaking . she spoke about the extreme temptations of making sure bets on stock trades . when we met , she\u2019d been closely watching caterpillar and cummins stocks . if she were still in the business of playing the markets , she said , she would have tried to short caterpillar and go long , or take a bullish bet , on cummins . if she\u2019d put in the trade a few days earlier , she would have made $ 4 or $ 5 a share on the caterpillar short position , \u201cwhich is not bad , \u201d she said . so why , i asked her , had she resorted to insider trading when there was ample money to be made through good old - fashioned stock analysis ?\nbasquiat\u2019s biggest collector , jose mugrabi , strolled out of february\u2019s auctions with the simple statement : \u2018basquiat is the best artist in the world . \u2019 his son alberto has a basquiat - style crown motif tattooed on his wrist . the mugrabis , like those who collect bacon , seem to value nothing more than a highly individualistic , expressive view of the world . and auction houses seem ready to make the break from those fusty old marxist art historians and instead follow the lead of the prescient remark , made by sotheby\u2019s tobias meyer in 2006 , \u2018the best art is the most expensive because the market is so smart . \u2019 the market , fuelled by the money of \u2018sportsmen , actors , musicians and entrepreneurs\u2019 ( as well as that of oligarchs , sheikhs and hedge - funders ) , might not be as smart as meyer suggests , but it is certainly determinedly revalidating the value of highly individual visions , whether fuelled by hallucinogens or not .\nrajaratnam\u2019s call came at a time when khan needed money ; within a few years of the internet bust in 2001 , she had lost $ 49 . 6 million , according to her lawyer . the khans paid cash for the atherton house , but after the meltdown , they took out a $ 5 million mortgage on it . to pay it , khan needed to generate $ 42 , 000 a month . but it wasn\u2019t only a sense of financial need that led her back to rajaratnam ; khan\u2019s thinking about her earlier run - in with the law was starting to change . \u201cit\u2019s almost like you are a drug addict , and you go through rehab , and you are clean , \u201d she says . \u201cand then you are constantly at a party every day where people are doing cocaine . how long can you stay clean ? \u201d she was struck by the pervasiveness of insider trading on wall street and the extent to which skilled traders bent the rules and took calculated risks by defying the law .\nleela , throughout the film , is treated like a doormat not only by vc but also by the screenplay . good for her she gets a great wardrobe though . vc , then , is the hero , the protagonist of kaatru veliyidai . this is established further when mani makes a feeble attempt at tying up the loose ends in the film . vc , having escaped the clutches of pakistan years ago , has since become a war - hero and has been roaming about , searching for leela , and he thinks to himself ,\nafter being captive , i have realised how to live with others , how to share a life , leela .\nso , this is the character arc then : vc is a < insert crass synonym for the male member > , he falls in love with girl , continues to make her life hell , gets captured , is treated badly , comes back to his senses , escapes and becomes a changed man . if this is the crux of kaatru veliyidai ( because it for sure ain ' t a love story ' cause there is no love to look at ) , even then mani ratnam has failed to do justice to his characters .\nthe story begins with an ambitious young sales executive neil john samuel ( fahadh faasil ) waiting at a bus station late at night to catch a bus home .\nhe gets involved in a brawl with a few gangsters and has to flee the city .\nmeanwhile , a superstitious businessman , isaac anakkadan ( renji panicker ) , his astrologer ( sunil sughada ) and forgetful secretary ( kochu preman ) are out to buy a precious jewel from a group of men . the bag with the currency notes changes hands , upsets plans and sets the various characters out in pursuit of their respective goals .\ndespite a wafer - thin plot and ordinary direction , the film manages to stay a notch above the scores of malayalam movies hitting screens every week , thanks to fahadh\u2019s performance . had the protagonist been played by a lesser actor incapable of handling comedy with \u00e9lan , this film would have fallen flat .\nperformances by renji panicker , who seems at home in his new role of actor , and joju george as the gang leader makudi das also hold the film from falling apart .\nyour first instinct would be to hide it from others , then you splurge a little and then give away some of it to the needy , before walking away into the sunset ( here it is the glittering night of the new year ) .\nneil john samuel ( fahadh faasil ) is the sales manager at a car showroom . he is successful at his job according to his friends who enviously recall his achievements over a few drinks a day before new year\u2019s eve . the next day , neil is to be engaged to his sweetheart , piya ( niveda thomas ) , a social worker who helps children with congenital heart disease to get expensive surgery .\nshortly after the friends\u2019 get together , neil gets into a scuffle with some rowdies , and has to run for his life . somewhere along the way , he lands up with a bag containing rs 1 crore in cash .\nthere are a couple of parallel narratives . one is about an invaluable gem in the possession of a group from fortkochi who are to sell it to a wealthy businessman , isaac anakkadan ( renji panicker ) .\nthen there is the tale of a tamilian couple who have eloped and are helped by neil who is himself on the run .\nthe humour is provided by joju george who plays the partially deaf gunda makudi das , and the group in possession of the precious gem , which has chebil ashokan , sasi kalinga and some others .\nfahadh faasil , who has made his mark in the industry as an experimental leading man , has to do a couple of conventional action sequences where he overpowers more than half -

\u201d she asked . \u201cno . i think there should have been some diversity somewhere . \u201d\nrooney mara also another important character in the film . mara acts as therese belivet in the film and comes in as a young introverted girl with dreams and hopes of becoming a photographer someday though she cannot see what she want to capture in other persons . however , that soon changes with just a single glance that comes from a woman undergoing a difficult marriage ( carol aird ) who happens to be thrilled by mara . of importance to note is that it\u2019s during the 1950s and a few days to christmas and a period when homosexuality is perceived to be a mental illness .\nin george\u2019s miller\u2019s immensely imaginative and underrated sequel , rooney has a creepy and villainous part as a conniving clown called fugly floom , who uses chimpanzees as part of his act and tries to kidnap our intrepid porker .\njoe wright\u2019s peter pan origin story starring hugh jackman as blackbeard and garret hedlund as hook has potentially found its tiger lilly . if negotiations work out , the iconic role of the young native american princess will be played by none other than irish - italian actress rooney mara . the film is being billed as a \u201cnew take on the classic story , \u201d and in this case , that \u201cnew take\u201d extends the old tale of hollywood whitewashing characters of color . ( recently , johnny depp tried to skirt controversy by being \u201cformally adopted\u201d by the comanche indians before playing tonto in the lone ranger film . )\nset in 1950 s dublin , john gregson is the irrepressible james ignatious rooney . . . . the hurling loving dustman . landladies fall at his feet and it s not due to the stench of rubbish from his daily collections . . . . . . . . . . . . rooney is too much of a gentleman to bring his work home with him . no it s the irish blarney , his good looks and his dog .\nat 18 , rooney won renewed respect in hollywood , including a special juvenile acting oscar , for his role as whitey marsh , a poolroom shark and hoodlum taken into a deliquents\u2019 sanctuary by spencer tracy\u2019s tough but kindly priest .\nas a happy - go - lucky child star , mickey rooney was hollywood ' s biggest draw . but he doesn ' t seem so cheery now he ' s playing panto in milton keynes at the age of 89 . . .\nfostered backstage at mgm , rooney\u2019s close friendship and working partnership with judy garland had the studio running around trying to find vehicles for the pair : their biggest hit together was this busby berkeley - directed transfer of the rodgers and hart broadway musical .\nthis week pan , the story of peter pan\u2019s origins opens in the us . already there has been controversy . the film - makers caused an outcry when it was announced that rooney mara , a white actress , had been cast in the role of tiger lily , a character widely viewed as being native american . an online petition that now has 94 , 000 signatories has a crystal clear message to the studio : \u201cstop casting white actors to play people of color !\nand don t forget the hurling , always at the hurling . rooney teams up with mr doolan ( liam redmond ) a wealthy businessman , and hurling fan , and moves to a smart part of dublin . here he meets yet another widowed landlady and the cantankerous grandpa ( played brilliantly by the hilarious barry fitzgerald ) who is always losing his teeth ! rooney falls for maire ( muriel pavlow ) the landlady s cousin and when he is selected for the hurling championship final , will he win both the cup final and the girl ?\na change of pace , much - appreciated by critics at the time , into modestly budgeted noir . rooney subverted his image as an auto - mechanic whose petty theft of $ 20 from a cash register sends him into an unstoppable spiral of worse and worse crimes .\nrooney brings a kind of demented verve to his performance as mr yunioshi , audrey hepburn ' s japanese upstairs neighbour in blake edwards ' s screen adaptation of truman capote . but his heavily - made up , buck - toothed and deeply annoying performance is uncomfortable now - as one recent critic remarked , it has the dubious honour of being both racist and rubbish . ironically , given the legendary status of the rest of the film , it may well be the cameo for which he is currently best remembered .\nbored parents continually checked their smartphones from about 15 minutes into the film , and by the end , restless children were running around the theatre . normally i\u2019d tsk at such unruly behaviour , but this time , who could blame them ?\n\u201c [ it was a ] tricky thing to deal with , \u201d mara said . \u201cthere were two different periods ; right after i was initially cast , and the reaction to that , and then the reaction again when the film came out .\ndirector jim sheridan films the movie adaptation of sebastian barry ' s\nthe secret scripture\nwith actors rooney mara & theo james in the sand dunes of a coastal location in north dublin , dublin , ireland -

screen transfer - which featured james cagney as bottom - had to be delayed when rooney broke his leg while skiing ; jack warner was said to be so furious that he threatened to break the star ' s other leg .\ncuriously rooney didn\u2019t return to the racetrack for international velvet ( 1978 ) , but for this marvellous rival picture , released the following year . playing a retired jockey in the second half of the movie , he trains young alec to mastery in the saddle \u2013 and got a supporting actor nomination .\nhe was living with his mum and working as a dish -

in - adventure with the older james hook ( garrett hedlund ) , and remains so to the end of the movie . hook never turns evil , nor does he lose his hand , and the film concludes with the greatest fright of all : maybe\nit doesn\u2019t take too long for jim sheridan \u2019s period romance \u201c the secret scripture \u201d to contort itself into a befuddlingly bungled mess . but at the outset , it seems to have everything going for it . it boasts an illustrious cast in rooney mara , vanessa redgrave , and eric bana , and it has a six - time oscar nominee at the helm . sebastian barry\u2019s 2008 source novel was well - received and shortlisted for the man booker prize , and the film\u2019s handsome production design and cinematography give it the sort of prestige sheen best described as late - century miramax .\nrooney was handed his most famous role when mgm cast him in a supporting part as andy hardy , the teenage son of lionel barrymore\u2019s judge . it wasn\u2019t intended as a series , but he spun off 15 of them between 1937 and 1948 , then attempted a renaissance with andy hardy comes home ( 1958 ) .\nthis past week , gus vant sant , joaquin phoenix , jonah hill and rooney mara were in portland to confirm the project and visit callahan ' s old friends . they were spotted at the bar at the heathman hotel on saturday night , drinking iced tea and sparking water , and had dinner at tusk that evening .\nthere is also the argument that white stars in hollywood have the biggest pull at the box office , therefore a producer will cast a white actor in order to maximise returns . according to this line of thinking rooney mara is going to give pan better commercial prospects than a lesser - known native american actress in the role of tiger lily .\nanother equally important character in the film is a woman known as abby gerhard ( sarah paulson ) . abby and carol were formerly lovers though their relationship was a bit brief and somewhat meaningful to abby than it was to carol . abby appears to be very devoted and loyal to her friend , with viewers being exposed to see that in the film , the feeling among them is mutual . in fact , the relationship between abby and carol makes a lot of people wonder how deep friendship can exist between queer women . even though carol does not reciprocate the friendship , abby \u2018loves\u2019 her anyway .\nit doesn\u2019t take too long for jim sheridan\u2019s period romance \u201cthe secret scripture\u201d to contort itself into a befuddlingly bungled mess . but at the outset , it seems to have everything going for it . it boasts an illustrious cast in rooney mara , vanessa redgrave , and eric bana , and it has a six - time oscar nominee at the [ \u2026 ]\nhe recalls how white actors in \u2018yellow - face\u2019 would portray the ominous villain fu manchu in the 1930s or how mickey rooney played a buffoonish japanese businessman with fake buck teeth and coke bottle glasses in the 1961 classic breakfast at tiffany\u2019s . given that so many groups and individuals find having white actors replace those from different racial groups abhorrent , why does it continue ?\n\u201ci guess there\u2019s a certain institutional force and memory that exists out there , \u201d says sony ' s film studio chief tom rothman , one of the top players in hollywood . but he adds , \u201ci think the industry\u2019s improving but i certainly agree with those who say we haven\u2019t come far enough fast enough . \u201d\nthere are two undeniably talented actors here and they\u2019re matched with an initially interesting set - up but it\u2019s not one that feels suited to the big screen , at least in this iteration . una is a character and a story that fails to engage and the argument for its existence as a film is a sadly unsuccessful one .\n\u201cthere was not one asian or pacific islander actor who had much to say in the whole film , \u201d says guy aoki , head and co - founder of the media action network for asian americans ( manaa ) . aoki was also dismayed to see a white actress , emma stone , cast as a woman who has hawaiian and chinese heritage .\nthis handicap aside , redgrave brings a touch of class to each of her scenes , even when her character appears to be deep in the grip of dementia , and bana maintains an authoritative air even when the script and his irregular irish accent conspire to let him down . mara has a much steeper task : the film is at its best when it plays things simply , and the actress elicits empathy as an undeserving target of crushing small - town patriarchy . but as the film spirals off in entirely too many directions , there\u2019s too little of the character to hold onto , and eventually she finds herself flailing for footing as she\u2019s gaslit by everyone around her . struggling to follow along , we in the audience know exactly how she feels .\nthe backstory is the greatest foe in director joe wright\u2019s uneven film . ten minutes before the ending , our young orphan protagonist , having been whisked away from 1940s london by a flying pirate ship , is still having secrets explained to him via inelegant exposition checkpoints . there are discovered letters , a memory tree , and a lagoon enchanted by mermaids endowed with the power of studio script notes .\nhaving white actors play other races , often in a ways that mock , is as old as the film industry itself . african - americans have long felt the full brunt of the \u2018whitewashing\u2019 of roles as have other races , including asians . \u201cit was very hurtful , \u201d says guy aoki . \u201cthe upshot of that is you are basically telling the audience \u2018don\u2019t take asian people seriously\u2019 . \u201d\nmara is as always , a self - assured and fascinating presence , but a distracting , off - key british accent jars and while she gives herself to the film , the film gives her little in return . there\u2019s an interesting and daring conceit here , of a woman who believes that the man who sexually abused her might also be her soulmate . but the subversive victim narrative , explored with far more bite in paul verhoeven\u2019s new thriller elle , ultimately fizzles out and investment in what happens to the pair becomes increasingly difficult with attempts to de - stage the story bordering on desperate . a convoluted business sub - plot and a sorely underwritten role for the talented riz ahmed eventually lead to an underwhelming ending that toys with tired psycho - thriller conventions as mara\u2019s character becomes just another crazy woman .\nthe film is titled\ndon ' t worry , he won ' t get far on foot ,\nbased on callahan ' s 1989 autobiography of the same name . the project has been in the works for the past 20 years , when the late robin williams bought the rights to the story of callahan , who was paralyzed at age 21 after a car accident while riding with a drunk - driving friend .\nuna ( rooney mara ) is a young woman living in suburban middle england with her mother , haunted by a mysterious past that sees her drinking and having casual sex with strangers . she\u2019s transfixed by a photograph of a figure from her past and it leads her to a factory where she tracks down ray ( ben mendelsohn ) , except that he\u2019s now called peter . he\u2019s alarmed , angry and even frightened by the unannounced visit and we soon learn why : he sexually abused her when she was 13 and she\u2019s convinced that they\u2019re in love .\nat long last i got a copy of this very entertaining movie i didn t see for years thanks to amazon i now have a copy and will cherish it with care and look forward to enjoying it many more times . its a british made film but shows us the irish for what we really are a fun loving race . john gregson is one of my favorit british actors he gave a great performance as did murel pavlow and manny more . patrick fitzgerald waterford city ireland\njeffery mio , author of multicultural psychology : understanding our diverse communities , thinks these casting practices have more to do with people in the los angeles film industry just hiring people who are familiar . \u201cpart of it is that people cast people that they feel comfortable with and so if someone has a similar background you feel more comfortable with them . here we are in america being a multicultural society and yet we still tend to be in our own silos , \u201d he says .\naware of the inherent staginess of the material , andrews throws in flashbacks and some nice visual flourishes to give the story a more cinematic feel and the slow - burn drama works nicely for a while . mara and mendelsohn have a compellingly toxic chemistry together and their initial confrontation is intriguingly tense . but once we\u2019re locked into the meat of the story , the film has nowhere else to go , at least anywhere that\u2019s of interest and the pace becomes laborious as their discussions turn repetitive .\njackman is just following the routine by now , chomping up scenery as a bad guy in an altogether dreadful film . but it\u2019s not nearly enough . he\u2019s no eddie redmayne in jupiter ascending . his quarry of ( mostly ) child labour greets newcomers with a rousing chorus of nirvana\u2019s smells like teen spirit , and leads them to punishment with the ramones\u2019 blitzkrieg bop . you can practically see an impassioned director selling the studio : \u201caudiences won\u2019t know what to think ! ! ! \u201d indeed .\ncarol is an amazing movie that has got a number of actors or cast in it . among other actors in the movie , there are some notable characters or actors worth noting . carol aird features as an important character in the film . carol appears tired and almost giving up on her marriage . she is unhappy and somehow finds love in a young woman way beyond her age . her marriage seems to be failing terribly . she needs some love and solace , but surprisingly , she ends up finding it in another woman .\nthis anachronistic dice roll would work if the rest of the picture\u2019s creativity measured up . what is striking is how bland everything is . rooney mara gets in on the faux - inspirational act as the \u201cnative\u201d tiger lily . it\u2019s the type of thankless role natalie portman doesn\u2019t do any more , and hopefully mara won\u2019t either , now that she\u2019s got carol under her belt . the only interesting thing about tiger lily is her ceremonial headdress , which looks like it was fashioned after gossamer from looney tunes . adeel akhtar\u2019s cockney version of hook\u2019s sycophantic chum smee doesn\u2019t get any clever lines , but he is at least moderately charming .\nfrom here , we find ourselves thrust into a patrick kavanagh - esque slice of small town irish life , as this quietly self - possessed , parentless young woman chafes against the stringent mores of her county sligo village . without her doing much to entice suitors \u2014 mara renders the character a picture of frosty passivity \u2014 pushy , interested men start to crowd around rose , who works as a waitress in her aunt\u2019s cafe .

\ud83d\udd34\nthe list of films in which white actors have played other races includes everything from romantic comedies to action adventures and fantasies to historical epics . last year ridley scott found himself under scrutiny because his picture exodus : gods and kings had non - arab actors playing egyptian roles . and in 2013 there were complaints over johnny depp\u2019s casting as the native american tonto in the lone ranger . jake gyllenhaal also found himself in the midst of criticism because as an actor of swedish and jewish heritage , he had been cast in the lead in the 2010 film prince of persia : the sands of time .\nand yet the resulting film doesn\u2019t just fail to properly combine its modes of wartime romance , psychological intrigue , and catholic guilt - mongering , it often fails to make sense on the most essential level . a classic case of a literary adaptation capturing the high - gloss trappings of its source without getting a handle on its story or themes , \u201cthe secret scripture\u201d is like a nicely decorated craftsman home built on a foundation of jell - o , with a toilet where the kitchen sink should be . it looks nice on first glance , but spend any time there , and things start to get messy .\nat this point , it becomes increasingly difficult to suss out exactly what is happening , or if in fact it is happening at all , and the sense of narrative unreliability does not appear entirely intentional . at times , the sheer rush of unlikely events \u2014 long - lost loves literally falling out of the sky within sight of our heroine\u2019s bedroom , characters making abrupt , consequential decisions for no comprehensible reason \u2014 suggests the film will take a \u201cshutter island\u201d - style turn . it does have a twist ending , though it\u2019s one that many viewers will immediately suspect during the first reel , only to dismiss as too obvious .\nultimately \u2018whitewashing\u2019 may decrease as the united states becomes more multicultural and in turn hollywood \u2013 where white males call the shots \u2013 becomes more diverse . the second annual hollywood diversity report from ucla published in february found that in 2013 94 % of people in the executive ranks of the film studios were white . with minorities under - represented in all stages of production both in front of and behind the camera , it remains a white industry . until that changes significantly \u2013 and there are signs that it has begun in television \u2013 many believe hollywood\u2019s decades - old tendency to cast white people to play other races in films will continue .\ninelegantly approximating the novel\u2019s parallel - narrative structure while dispensing with most of its political subtext and fundamentally altering much of its plot , the film first introduces us to the elderly rose mcnulty ( redgrave ) more than four decades into her imprisonment in a rural irish insane asylum . rose has been here since the waning days of world war ii , when she was accused of murdering her newborn son . she still professes her innocence in moments of passing lucidity \u2014 in fact , she\u2019s convinced her son is still alive \u2014 and she has committed her illustrated memories to the margins of a bible , in which she\u2019s graffitied the book of job into the book of rose .\nmy mother , who was an early catherine cookson fan , took me to see this film when it came out . . . . we ' re from south shields , and you can imagine her disappiontment when she found it was set in dublin not tyneside !

( the end - credits kelly clarkson song isn\u2019t even quite as out of place as it might sound . ) it\u2019s simply that the story makes little sense and the characters have no discernible motivations or detectable inner lives .\ngreat movie . two lonely people discover each other . i always liked this film . so many times i have tried to buy it in vhs or dvd but no luck so far . i liked the irish setting . i enjoy british / irish films and i like the genre of the 1940s to 1950s . this movie was based on a catherine cookson novel of the same name . anyone who knows the writings of catherine cookson knows that she creates a wonderful story . too bad movie producers today cannot see the potential of this story in today ' s market . john gregson is a great actor . the story shows the rubbish - collection industry , and how one lowly rubbish collector finds love and romance right under his nose .\nirish comedy , set in dublin , hinging on romance between a virile young dustman and a domestic drudge .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\njermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .\nmr . wolf ' s big list of forgotten , overlooked and underappreciated films .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ?

[ 22 ] dr . torchin states \u201cravished armenia is a significant case , not for its technical excellence \u2013 indeed , it received little more than tepid reviews and its success beyond the ner fundraising campaign is uncertain \u2013 but as an example of the convergence of international humanitarian activism and entertainment practices at the turn of the 20 th century\u201d ( cf . torchin 2006 pg . 214 . )\nthe american film institute catalog says that \u201cthe film\u2019s working titles were ravished armenia and armenia crucified . it may also have been known as an armenian crucifixion ( see afi catalog of feature films , 1911 - 1920 ; f1 . 0146 ) . the film opened originally in various cities at $ 10 a seat , the proceeds going to the committee for relief of the near east and the armenian war relief association . sources disagree concerning the scenarist . records from the selig collection credit frederic chopin ( sic , read chapin ) , while publicity pamphlets produced by the armenian war relief association credit both chopin [ chapin ] and nora waln , a member of the committee . shots representing mt . ararat were actually filmed at mt . baldy , ca . \u201d [ 31 ]\nin the early days of cinema , film for humanitarian action was sidelined by the desire to entertain .\nin an interview with deadline , esrailian talked about executing the film after kerkorian passed away in 2015 .\nit should be noted that the international avrora prize has been set up in armenia and it will be awarded to people , who save human lives .\nthe book that started the film preservation movement - in case you non - nerds didn ' t know .\nbut having learned again and again that one needs to verify everything , especially in this kind of research , we believe that it should not be taken for granted that crucifixions occurred akin to those with which we are most familiar , namely that of jesus christ . there was more than a little discussion and attention given to the manner of crucifixion versus what is more accurately described as \u201cimpalement\u201d in the aftermath of screening the \u201cravished armenia\u201d film .\nmention has been made in an endnote that a digitized copy of the library of congress\u2019 holding ( 1 st edition 1918 ) of \u201cravished armenia\u201d may now be found on the internet . we had never taken the trouble to track down a first edition , however we came across it by chance while visiting some friends . [ 32 ]\ninitially titled \u201cravished armenia , \u201d the movie was later renamed \u201cauction of souls . \u201d it was , in all likelihood , the first major hollywood picture to portray genocide . either way , it was a pioneering film : to cast a genocide survivor as the lead actress was a rare deed . as a post - ww i film , it challenged conventional mores by containing themes of violence , rape , nudity and mass crucifixion . it also raised the issue of censorship based both on public morals and politics . turkish opposition in later years reinforced the latter .\nthe court finds it a fact and a question of law that there is nothing in the scenes which make them sacrilegious , obscene , indecent or immoral , or such nature as to tend to debase or corrupt morals . viewing the picture as a whole , the court finds as a fact that it is educational in nature . it is not only a vivid portrayal of the story ravished armenia , but it is also a picture of conditions as they existed in armenia a few months ago . [ 11 ]\nms . karlins\u2019 note on her study of the \u201cravished armenia\u201d poster published in the journal of the society for armenian studies is based on an original in the armenian library and museum ( alma ) in watertown , massachusetts donated by retired pharmacist carl zeytoonian . a copy of the poster is reproduced in her paper in black and white . [ 11 ]\nthough only a fragment of ravished armenia \u2019s original 8 , 000 feet of film still exists , the controversy surrounding its release is well documented . the film premiered in invitation - only venues in both the united states and britain , hosted by philanthropists and politicians with definite agendas . the allies had just won the war and the ottoman war crimes trials were about to get underway in turkey , under pressure from great britain . supporters of the film believed \u2014 wrongly , as it turned out \u2014 that the dramatic portrayal of the massacres on screen would result in the prosecution of turkish perpetrators for what were called \u201ccrimes against humanity\u201d against armenian , greek , and assyrian civilians during the war .\nbecause of the film ' s subject matter , distributors often scheduled limited showings of the film to community leaders prior to releasing it to local theaters . still , in some states there were attempts to ban or censor the film . for example , after the pennsylvania state board of censors banned the film , the distributors sued and overturned the state agency decision in court . in reversing the board ' s ban , the decision of the judge stated :\ncleveland , authority control , cecil b . demille , the squaw man ( 1914 film ) , edison manufacturing company\n. he has been awarded the william k . everson award for film history by the national board of review . he teaches film history at the university of miami and lives in west palm beach with his wife , lynn .\nthis study looks at the preservation process : newsreel , television , and color preservation ; the often controversial issue of colorization ; and commercial film archives . it provides detailed histories of the major players in the preservation battle including the international museum of photography at george eastman house , the american film institute , the museum of modern art , the ucla film and television archive , and the library of congress . this first historical overview of film preservation in the united states is also highly controversial in its exposure and criticism of the politicization of film preservation in recent years , and the rising bureaucracy which has often lost sight of preservation and restoration as the ultimate purpose of film archives .\nat the venice film festival this year , turkish - german director fatih akin presented his newest film called \u201cthe cut\u201d . the historical drama tells the story of a man who is searching for his children in the aftermath of the armenian genocide . starting in october , the film began its tour of european theaters and will soon make its way to russia and armenia . until then , it\u2019s worth it to remember the few foreign feature films that , one way or another , refer to the tragic events of 1915 .\nsuperior to \u201cravished armenia\u201d , it can be said that henri verneuil\u2019s \u201cmayrig\u201d was the first serious film that touched upon the events and consequences of the armenian genocide . it\u2019s rather symbolic that henri verneuil ( born ashot malakian ) , chose to address his family\u2019s past only when he was a well - established figure in the world of french cinema . he first approached the topic with a book and then committed the plot to film . since verneuil was somewhat of a legend in the 1980\u2019s , it was no surprise that two renowned actors , claudia cardinale and omar sharif , agreed to star in his film . \u201cmayrig\u201d was first shown to armenian audiences in the early 1990s and was received with much awe and admiration .\nlike the makers of the promise , the team behind ravished armenia also sought to foster public support by mobilizing celebrities and assembling a cast of respected actors , which included mardiganian herself . william selig bought the rights to produce mardiganian\u2019s story and employed well - known director oscar apfel . though detractors couldn\u2019t pan the film as immediately as their counterparts can now , over twitter , they certainly didn\u2019t keep silent . the british foreign office kept a file of letters from those who believed that the film was explicitly anti - muslim , \u201ca work of fiction\u201d that constituted \u201can indecent exhibition . \u201d no doubt these letters \u2014 some from prominent political figures \u2014 influenced the decision to edit the film and limit its run in british theaters .\nindeed ! ? the film institute catalog reads : - \u201cviscount bryce\u2019s official report and ex - ambassador henry morgenthau\u2019s official story were additional sources for this film . the book was serialized in the hearst publications . the film and the book are based on true incidents in the life of aurora mardiganian\u2026 . \u201d ( for a bit more see also urltoken ) .\naccess to a fair range of newspapers available online through library of congress\u2019 in its chronicling america newspaper archive suggests that the \u201cravished armenia\u201d image in black and white printed full page at no cost to the committee thanks to some \u201cnational advertiser\u201d in the saturday evening post in 1919 did not appear in many papers either serializing or advertising the film . the vast majority of advertisements and articles encountered upon searching this site indicate an unspectacular ( to us at least ) advertising approach for the film . they usually are rather small ads and have no or little imagery . see fig . 6 for one that does show some pictures .\nno mention was made in richard kloian\u2019s write - ups about the involvement of eduardo kozanlian in the discovery of the film fragment . to be more exact , nothing appears in the write - up that he provided us along with the dvd . there was an attractive new cover on the dvd case . included with the dvd as an additional insert , was a copy in color of the \u201cravished armenia\u201d poster showing the infamous \u2018terrible\u2019 , \u2018unspeakable turk\u2019 abducting a subdued or struggling a girl . [ 15 ]\nbut regardless of misleading and confused official directives , the film continues to be shown in special screenings around the world by groups who are interested in it precisely because it is about the armenian genocide . in london , the premiere was held in soho \u2014 right around the corner from where the british version of ravished armenia was shown almost 100 years ago . in attendance at the recent screening of the promise was a group of distinguished members of the armenian community and celebrities , including george and amal clooney .\nthe film was released in paris on december 11th 1919 , salle gaveau . it was sponsored by the dukess of rohan urltoken\nin 1993 , auschwitz survivor branko lustig would also win an academy award as the producer for the holocaust film schindler\u2019s list .\nwe thank the staff of stony brook university libraries for their ongoing and generous help . we again thank pamela apkarian -

person adventure video game developed by three one zero and published by 505 games . it was released on march 28 , 2016 for microsoft windows , and scheduled to release on july 15 , 2016 for playstation 4 and later in 2016 for xbox one . the story follows an astronaut , who floats through the wreckage of a destroyed space station with no memory of the incident . over the course of the game , players find clues that piece together the events of the incident , and attempt to repair the escape vehicle to return home .\nadrift\nis the second episode of the second season of lost and the 27th episode overall . the episode was directed by stephen williams and written by steven maeda and leonard dick . it first aired on september 28 , 2005 , on the american broadcasting company . in the episode , flashbacks depict michael dawson ' s struggles for the custody of his son walt lloyd . the realtime events show michael and sawyer , who have just had their raft destroyed , becoming hostile towards each other as they drift back to shore , while kate austen and john locke enter the mysterious hatch and encounter desmond hume .\nthe storyline picks up the raft storyline which was left hanging after season one ' s finale ,\nexodus\n, and also revisits the events seen in the previous episode ,\nman of science , man of faith\n. originally envisioned as a sawyer episode , the episode was rewritten to focus on michael . the sea scenes were shot on the hawaiian shoreline .\nadrift\nhad 23 . 17 million american viewers and stands as the second largest audience on the series ' run , but received negative reviews , which focused criticism on the flashbacks , the raft scenes , and the lack of plot advancement .\nricardo della rosa ' s cinematography , with its etherial crane shots and sunset glow , may be the primary element of adrift to compliment , but that does not mean the narrative and pathos are any less deserving . filipa ' s coming - of - age sexual journey equates to a cinematic version of jacques lacan ' s mirror stage , as she attempts to discover meaning outside her own sexuality through its mirroring in her parents adulterous relationships . as heartbreaking a depiction of divorce as i ' ve ever seen , but equally tempered with a loving , honest portrayal of a caring family . a personal tale of familial maturation that i could float in again and again .\nwhere adrift struggles the most is that it ' s not anything new , it ' s not a story we haven ' t already seen before . and unfortunately it never hits on the emotional level that i was hoping it eventually would . thanks to all the aforementioned technical aspects , it ' s still wonderful and occasionally heartwrenching to watch it play out , but it never reaches the kind of brilliance that would make it one of my absolute cannes favorites . that said , vincent cassel again impresses me with an extraordinary performance , as does newcomer laura neiva , who could very well be the most talented actor of this entire cast , even if it is only her first major role .\nspending summer vacation with her family in buzios , filipa , a fourteen -

broadcaster . they talk about the importance and the cultural impact of the story , setting the film up as a serious attempt to capture the spirit of a vital cultural artifact . this really bizarre

of the way : this a deeply awful movie . no one involved seems to have any clue how to tell a story . it takes too long to get anywhere , since the movie keeps wasting it time on mundane details that don ' t add anything to a narrative . we might watch maria shop for groceries , for example . the film could have just jumped ahead to her walking out of the store , just to get to the meat of the story faster . but it doesn ' t . in another scene , maria ' s husband consults a spiritista . the spiritista basically says that nothing can be done , so we never see him after that . the scene seems

dtd html 4 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nit was the early 90\u2019s and it would still be a few more years before social media was introduced . the internet was exclusive to a handful of people but there were growing numbers of mobile phone users . entertainment for \u201ccommon people\u201d is mostly divided into two categories : the repertoire of soap operas on their television and , of course , the endless hours of chatting with their kumares and kumpares during their afternoon siestas . it was during these times that urban legends like bloody mary and the infamous mananabas gained tremendous popularity \u2013 even rivalling the spanish romantic telenovelas . even today , many of us can still recall these tales with chills and terror .\nthere is a gruesome story of a woman , turned vampire , somewhere from iloilo or capiz that took rural and urban communities by storm . a caring mother and wife wanted to give her family an affluent life , so she tried her luck in canada as an overseas filipino worker ( ofw ) . it was said that this lady worked for an employer who was suffering from an unknown disease . later on before his dying breath , the employer passed on his alleged vampiric power to the unknowing caregiver . the lady accepted the said power without knowing the staggering price she would pay .\nthe effect of the curse only took hold as the ofw returned home to the philippines . the hunger for human flesh became so dominating , that she eventually killed and cooked her two sons . she was then emerged as full - fledged aswang , a philippine folklore creature akin to the vampires and ghouls of western mythology . all hell broke loose when her husband arrived home and saw the twisted acts of his wife . the insanity of the affliction and her craving for human flesh made her offer the cooked flesh to her husband . fierce fury drove the husband to attack his wife with a bolo . slashing with a blind fury .\nthe shake , rattle and roll film franchise introduced to us a kind of story plot that has become a staple in today\u2019s countless horror flicks ; people from the big city being invited by a friend from an isolated barrio , from a far flung province , to celebrate their fiesta . little does the guest know , they will be feasted upon by the hordes of hungry aswang ( or any man eating beast ) hiding in the guise of a harmless neighbourhood . these creepy tales might take their inspiration from the classic , yet spine chilling , story of teniente ( lieutenant ) gimo from due\u00f1as , iloilo . by most accounts , gimo was an individual who had an important position or status in his barrio ( teniente del barrio or baranggay captain ) , so no one really bothered themselves to doubt the real identity .\nwhether due to the film , a specific incident , or just gossip , stories have spread all over the philippines about the flesh eating teniente from due\u00f1as , iloilo .\nimage taken from the work of paul de la gironi\u0117re . \u201cthe brain feast of the tinguan indians\u201d .\nindicated in both stories however is that the suspected aswangs have a desire for human flesh . this idea was somewhat blurry due to the fact that they didn\u2019t eat their victims upon their assault like aswang usually do ; they actually cooked them . the characters themselves might better fall into the category of cannibal instead of aswang . cannibalism is an ancient practice or act of humans eating the flesh or internal organs of other human beings . some associates cannibalism and head hunting to ancient or remote tribal rituals which , up until a hundred years ago , was still practiced in areas of the philippines .\nduring the 1800\u2019s , a french traveller by the name of paul de la gironi\u0117re witnessed and reluctantly partook in a feast conducted by the tinguian tribes of abra . this involved eating the brain from the decapitated head of a rival tribe member . to make it more extreme , they also pounded some of these brains and mixed it with their favourite beverage called basi ( sugar cane wine ) . in addition to gironi\u0117re , dean worcester , an american zoologist , public official , and authority on the philippines , also observed the same \u201cfeast\u201d among the kalinga from luzon . further , a published article in the los angeles herald ( number 184 , 2 april 1899 ) discussed the cannibalistic practices coming from mindanao .\ncannibalism is indeed a savage and bloody custom of primitive people yet the practice had a strong and deep meaning . the cannibal was thought to believe they could gain some of the skills and knowledge of the human whom he ate . the said practice was also a facet of grieving among the tribal members when a member of their family / community had died . it is believed that eating the remains of their departed loved one would allow their bodies to become the vessel for the soul of the dead .\nstories can be quiet deceiving especially if the intent of those who created it has clandestine motives which fabricate facts and use fear to get the job done . urban myths and other stories of dark creatures were often times subjected to a type of propaganda during the spanish and american colonization periods . more recently , these stories are utilized in order to ensure the people ( specifically the young ones ) avoid skulking and wandering around in the middle of the night .\nbut no matter how fictional these stories are , its lasting effect on people should not be entirely underestimated . in an article written by ver f . pacete in sun star bacolod entitled \u201cteniente gimo : not the movie\u201d , he implied that the circulating story of teniente gimo greatly affects the people to this day . the stigma is still vivid in the memory of the community , which made the descendants of gimo settle far away from their own village where nobody would dare approach them . there are a times when teniente gimo sent food for the convent of his friend , fr . leon abillar ( aglipayan parish priest of due\u00f1as , iloilo ) . it was said the priest hesitated to eat the food brought by the teniente because of the stories . whether this story is hoax or not , there is no denying that the impact it leaves among us is astoundingly real and enduring .\nurban legends tends to vary in the character\u2019s origin and plot , which results in discrepancies and unreliability . despite the different versions that sometimes came out of nowhere , there will always be a predominant element that remains common ; an unexplained event emblazoned with horror that leads to violence and mystery . perhaps man by nature has a penchant for storytelling , whether the content of their tales are partly made up or a work of sheer rumours and hoaxes .\njust because these fictional narratives and urban legends may not possess facts in every line and paragraph , doesn\u2019t always mean that those tales are superficially entertaining and unworthy to take a serious understanding to . urban legends will always hold an ambiguous truth , for they are made to reflect things connected to man and his identity . this is evident in all the folktales and myths . every culture in every nation should treasures these most . they are not just long prosaic tales of men and women of the past , they are answers to who we are and where we belong . thus , the truth they present to the listeners ( and readers as well ) have higher value than the cold hard facts .\nbook worm and frustrated writer . currently working as a clerk in a university somewhere

from entertainment value , filipino mothers often tell their children aswang stories to keep them off the streets and keep them home at night .\nlike ufo stories , aswang stories are one of the favorites of sensationalist tabloids , especially when there are grave robberies , kidnapped children , strange noises , people with eccentric or peculiar habits , and other bizarre incidents that can somehow be attributed to them .\nstories of the aswang are popular in the visayan region of the philippines , especially in the western provinces of capiz ( a province on panay island ) , iloilo and antique . capiz , in particular , is singled out by tabloids as an area of high supernatural activity : a home to aswangs , manananggals , giant half - horse men ( tikbalang ) and other mythological creatures . many of those who live in capiz are superstitiously inclined , and adorn their homes with garlic bulbs , holy water and other objects believed to repel aswang . since the stories recount aswang eating unborn children , pregnancy is a time of great fear for superstitious filipinos .\nin southern luzon , the city of antipolo is rumoured by locals to be a popular place for aswang sightings , especially during the holy week , where legend says that paranormal activities are at their peak during the three days that christ was dead .\nsome have contended that the aswang is the progenitor of many classified cryptozoological species .\nan aswang ( or asuwang ) is a mythical creature in filipino folklore . the aswang is an inherently evil vampire - like creature and is the subject of a wide variety of myths and stories . spanish colonists noted that the aswang was the most feared among the mythical creatures of the philippines , even in the 16th century .\nthe myth of the aswang is well known throughout the philippines , except in the ilocos region , which is the only region that does not have an equivalent myth . it is especially popular in the western visayan regions such as capiz , iloilo , negros , bohol , masbate , aklan , antique . other regional names for the aswang include\ntik - tik\n,\nwak - wak\nand\nsoc - soc\n.\nthe wide variety of descriptions in the aswang stories make it difficult to settle upon a fixed definition of aswang appearances or activities . however , several common themes that differentiate aswangs from other mythological creatures do emerge : aswangs are shapeshifters . stories recount aswangs living as regular townspeople . as regular townspeople , they are quiet , shy and elusive . at night , they transform into creatures such as a cat , pig , bird , or most often , a dog . they enjoy eating unborn fetuses and small children , favoring livers and hearts . some have long proboscises , which they use to suck

camera\u2019 fx in this film , with sets dressed to resemble rural italy .\nin 1917 , the feature - length production was a relatively new invention , and few studios would allow films to last more than five reels ( approximately one hour ) . this made it necessary for taylor and screenwriter ivers to omit substantial portions of the original narrative . after the success of the film , the studio ( paramount ) encouraged the filmmakers to return to twain ' s novel . one year after\n. new york : wid ' s films and film folk , inc . : 8 february 15 , 1938 .\nwas made in 1917 , in what might be termed the cinema ' s adolescence . it therefore contains a degree of narrative stiffness and caricature ( huck finn ' s straw - like hair and blacked - out teeth , for example ) that tends to distract some viewers . this ungainly style , however , nicely complements the story , serving as the visual equivalent of tom ' s own boyish awkwardness and enhancing the\naw shucks\nessence of the missouri boys ' barefoot adventures .\nreview of the film ends with the reviewer stating :\n. . . get busy [ mr . selznick ] on\n. new york : wid ' s films and film folk , inc . february 14 , 1938 . p . 2 .\nthe film was released on dvd in 2000 by the library of moving images , and again in 2006 by unknown video .\nthis is without doubt one of the best music videos i have shot , it is truly iconic . the film was all shot electronically as opposed to film . this was before my days as a director and was directed by alex and martin from partisan\n, took over the direction of the film , he discarded the footage that had already been shot ( in black and white ) , and began production on the film in technicolor . john weaver was assigned to refurbish the script to\nmeet color demands .\nfootloose and fancy free tom roams the neighborhood and spots clara horton as becky thatcher picking daisies in the front yard of her home . clara was in sore need of one of those cinematographers who specialized in glamor photography . she is filmed in harsh sunlight in a baby jane wig with braids and decked out in a wedding cake dress and full length pantalettes which make it hard to look demure . the whole effect is quite unflattering and you are left to wonder what charm this becky holds for tom . tom throws a few cartwheels and retrieves with his toes a daisy becky coquettishly dropped for him .\nlooking for a film director / dop for an upcoming project ? i ' d love to talk . email me : nick @ urltoken\nit is , alas , a lost film . there seems to even be very few stills from it surviving \u2013 such a shame .\nnext day tom is assigned his whitewashing punishment . aunt polly ' s young slave jim , who is as big as tom , walks up with an empty bucket on his way to the pump and is waylaid and tempted by tom as a candidate to do the whitewashing . jim demurs until the unveiling of tom ' s sore toe proves to be more than he can resist and he bends over to survey this wonder . in a nice bit of staging we see polly come out of the house , size up the situation and put quite a bit of effort into removing one of her slippers . thus she telegraphs jim ' s fate - - polly has his rear end in her sites and follows through with style . after jim runs off , polly elaborately replaces the slipper on her foot and goes back inside .\nthat night tom makes his stealthy visit home but decides not to leave a message for his aunt when he learns of the memorial service planned for him and his companions . tom returns to the island and plots their auspicious return to the village . on the day of the funeral the congregation is properly broken up and the minister appropriately dumbfounded when the three drowned boys brazenly and unhesitatingly march down the aisle of the church to be reunited with their families . widow douglas hugs and kisses huck and he grimaces with distaste at this unwelcome attention . the choir sings ; becky reconciles with tom ; and huck , wiping the widow ' s kisses off his face , beats a skulks out of the church grinning like a feral animal . tom and becky hold the same hymnal and sing as we iris out . the end .\nafter tom ' s whitewashing triumph he walks back into polly ' s house , hides his treasure and finds his aunt just as twain described her sleeping in a chair with her cat in her lap . tom takes polly outside and she responds with a hands up\ntake\nof shock and disbelief . she escorts him back into the kitchen and rewards him with an apple while tom clandestinely\nhooks\ntwo doughnuts . here ivers took twain ' s mention of polly ' s\nhappy scriptural flourish\nand gives her the line ,\nwhat you earn by honest effort and without sin has the best flavor .\nduring the encounter with alfred temple we are introduced to huckleberry finn ( robert gordon ) who sits nearby and witnesses the massacre . huck is the most overblown character in an otherwise fairly understated cast . dressed in an exaggerated ragged costume reminiscent of burlesque theater and grinning a gap - toothed daft smile , huck sits watching the fight , holding a watermelon under one arm . huck ' s hat has the remnants of a brim left ; mostly just a shabby crown . after alfred has been vanquished , the retreating boy hurls a rock at tom ' s back and tom chases him home where alfred torments him from inside the house while his mother remonstrates tom with ,\nyou ' re a bad , vicious child !\n( or young hoodlum judging by his size and temperament . ) to celebrate tom ' s victory huck breaks his watermelon in half and splits it with the champion .\nthe first sound adaptation of mt ' s novel was made in 1930 by paramount , and featured jackie coogan ( whom chaplin had made a star at age 7 in the kid [ 1921 ] ) as tom . huck was played by junior durkin , becky by mitzi green , and sid by jackie searl . clara blandick , who would be better known for an auntie named em in the wizard of oz ( 1939 ) played aunt polly . in the second still photo below , charlie stevens is playing joe and tully marshall is muff potter ( the actor who played dr . robinson was uncredited ) : polly , tom & sid | in the graveyard | tom sees joe\nfor my recommendation of best mark twain film , i ' d have to go with 1985 ' s\nthe adventures of mark twain\n. it ' s a wonderfully sensitive claymation film that offsets the problem of translating twain ' s clever turns of a phrase by just having him say them !\nthe film was released on dvd in 2000 by the library of moving images , [ 3 ] and again in 2006 by unknown video .

crossed . the two shoot it out and both end up being shot and killed .\n, a hybrid gangster - boxing film in 1937 . although far from the types of vehicles that would make her the studio ' s top box office star in a few years , it served both her and the studio well . warner ' s got her name on the marquee to draw her growing legions of female fans to an otherwise male - oriented film , while she got the chance to appeal to a more masculine audience than usual . the result was a hit for her that would remain a classic boxing flick for decades .\nedward g . robinson and humphrey bogart actually appeared in five movies together , always ending with one or the other killing each other\u2026 . or sometimes both at the same time . in fact , many actors in kid galahad appeared in many different roles with each other throughout their careers at warner bros . bette davis appeared in at least four movies with jane bryan , once as her mother ( the old maid ) , twice as her sister ( marked woman , the sisters ) , and once as romantic rival ( in kid galahad ) . jane bryan also once played edward g . robinson\u2019s daughter , as well as his sister . not to mention the four movies bette davis and humphrey bogart appeared in ( though never after humphrey bogart hit the big time ) . the studios could be very flexible about these things .\nmy new picture was kid galahad . it was a story about prizefighters and a good one . mr . curtiz was again my director and i will never forget wayne ` s knocking out a fighter in a take .\nfake fight ! retake ! fake fight -

vehicle for redford more than as a faithful adaptation of a literary source , and the arthurian dimensions of the novel are obscured in the process .\nfor the actor , but they went to columbia , instead , where the 1939 film made william holden a star . ultimately , the studio would fail to come up with suitable follow - ups for the young actor , who would fade into supporting roles . the film became a minor triumph for davis when , along with\neven though bette davis got second billing in this film , it\u2019s her performance that i will remember . you can see she\u2019s a star in the making here .\n- -

- a simple and predictable story combined with excellent dialog and acting and breezy direction . while this story will not change the world , it is well worth the watching . by the way , this story has been remade several times - - - such as the wagons roll at midnight ( with humphrey bogart taking on the edward g . robineson part and eddie albert playing a lion tamer instead of a boxer ) and kid galahad ( with elvis ) . none of these films are quite as satisfying as this film . so my advice is , if you only want to see one , watch this one .\nbut in 1937 wayne was at the top of the movie heap with galahad and had his pick of eager young ladies , on and off the studio lot .\nbette really fell for him ,\nher friend jerry asher remembered .\nshe was living her unrequited love off as well as on screen ; it imparted a particular poignancy to her performance . jack warner always said bette played love scenes best when she was actually in love , and she was overwhelmed by wayne .\ntwo things saved her , because he was obviously unaware of her feelings . first , she was 29 to his 23 , and wayne , as was well known , liked girls in their late teens or early 20s . second , she was technically still a married woman ( to first husband ham nelson ) , and fooling with other men ' s wives went against the young wayne ' s code . another factor was also a saving grace ; when shooting was over they went on to other films .\nand then the fact that she didn ' t have one kiss , not one clinch with him throughout kid galahad gave her no memories of what she was potentially missing ,\njerry asher laughed .\nrobinson is once again edged out at the end ; he ' s killed in a locker - room shoot - out with a nasty rival manager ( humphrey bogart ) . as in barbary coast , his removal clears the way for romance . with the sour , disapproving robinson character out of the way , the young lovers are freed . but robinson did not think of nick as one of his anti - romantic roles . in an interview with regina crewe for new york american on may 23 , 1937 robinson said :\nit has softer moments , the romantic element is strongly stressed . there is an odd sort of romance between nick and fluff but it is warm and sincere , nevertheless .\nit ' s true that he and fluff have a mature understanding , but their real passion is directed elsewhere - robinson ' s , toward protecting his sister ' s virginity , davis ' , toward the unattainable kid galahad .\nno doubt about it : michael curtiz can direct a movie . as tyrannical as the man may have been to his cast and crew , he has the uncanny ability to tell stories in a purely visual way . kid galahad doesn ' t reinvent the wheel for sports movies or love triangles , but the film succeeds based on the wonderful cast and curtiz ' s assured direction . wayne morris is wooden but his weak performance is more than compensated by the presence of davis , bogart , and robinson putting in good work in their respective roles . davis is hot as hell , bogart is entertainingly devious in another villainous role , and robinson plays his always - likeable rogue whose diminutive size belies the passionate intensity within ( though he also gets\u2026\nyes , i think the cast really makes this film an entertaining one ! it\u2019s just so fun to see these particular actors . \ud83d\ude42 hope you get a chance to see it !\nthe treatment is sophisticated and production deluxe . also more than the usual amount of romance for a slugfest . this allows room for bette davis to moon over the clean kid from the farm , and for the fight manager\u2019s convent - bred sister to also fall in love with him .\nbut essentially it\u2019s the story of the kid\u2019s manager ( edward g . robinson ) who maneuvers to match the bellhop - pugilist ( wayne morris ) in order to pay off the grudge he holds for a felonious fellow - manager ( humphrey bogart ) whose methods are always on the muscle side .\nward , rechristened\nkid galahad\n, wins a string of fights by knockout . he tells fluff that his goal is to earn enough to buy a farm . fluff falls for him , and is crushed when he confides to her that he is in love with marie . she hides her disappointment , and with her encouragement , he drives up to tell marie . it turns out that she is just as much in love with him . fluff leaves nick , confessing to him that she loves ward and cannot bear to be around the young man . she gets a job singing in a nightclub .\ndespite bogie , edward g and bette davis , the film is just ok . the usual boxing cliches . . . anyway it ' s gotta be better than the musical remake with elvis : p\ni haven\u2019t watched this film yet , but there is certainly danger of combustion if bette , ed g and bogie are together ! thanks for the review and for the kind comment . kisses ! le\nburns , e . jane .\nnostalgia isn ' t what it used to be : the middle ages in literature and film .\nin george slusser and eric s . rabkin , eds .\nforget the film , watch the titles from the submarinechannel . on submarinechannel , we love a good main title . that\u2019s why we started this online collection in 1997 of the most stunning and original film title sequences . some are engaging and wildly entertaining , some are funny , exhilarating or simply deadly beautiful . some are oozing with visual treats , while others hit you hard with their bold and audacious style .\narthur sees his kingdom dissolve in squabbles among his knights over the innocence or guilt of guinevere . this made -

directed and only moderately interesting adventure film .\njohn , a poor blacksmith , learns that the viking attacks on england are really the handiwork of sir palamides , a knight of the round table , and his ally , king mark , both intend to overthrow arthur and supplant christianity in england with paganism . john becomes a knight and saves the kingdom from palamides and mark , while also winning the hand of his lady love , the fair linet . when it was originally released , most critics dismissed this film as unintentionally funny . more recently , however , alan lupack has advanced an alternate reading of the film arguing convincingly that\nusing a highly exaggerated style of acting , interspersed with trick camera effects , a group of actors present the following scenes from wagner ' s opera : parsifal ascends the throne , ruins of a magic garden , exterior of klingson ' s castle , magic garden , interior of the temple , scene outside the temple , return of parsifal , and in the woods . with this film , edison had hoped to capitalize on the success of the 1903 stage production of the opera in new york , but the film ' s run had to be shortened when the owner of the copyright successfully sued edison for using the script without permission .\nwhen he completes his military service walter gulick returns to his birthplace , cream valley , new york . he was orphaned as an infant and grew up elsewhere but always wanted to return to where he was from . he hopes to be a mechanic but soon after his arrival finds himself working as a sparring partner at a boxing camp . having lost all of his money in a crap game , walter is happy to take any kind of work but a devastating right hook sends him down a different path . willy grogan thinks he has a winner in walter who , after helping a lady out , is dubbed kid galahad . willy is a likable man but gambles too much and may have been a witness to a mobster ' s conversation that would best be forgotten . as walter gains more success , and falls in love with willy ' s sister rose , willy grogan finds himself coming under pressure from mobsters to make walter takes a dive at his next big fight .\nthe film contains crime and boxing , gambling and gangsters , murder , romantic triangles , and nightclubs . the boxing sequences are also quite well done and exciting on their own and in the context of the plot . it has that 1930s warner bro . crime drama feel that is always entertaining . as is the cast .\ncalifornia businessman pendragon is actually a medieval tyrant intent upon seizing excalibur from merlin ' s equally ageless disciple loong tao . pendragon hopes to use the sword to make time stand still and plunge the world into chaos on october 32nd . his plans are thwarted by christy lake , a reporter who is the reincarnation of merlin ' s daughter , the lady of the lake , and geologist john pope who is her eternal protector . this perfectly silly film , which understandably was dumped directly to american video in 1994 , owes a debt to a variety of film traditions , including the kung -

- as jane wyman .\ntruer to the details of its source than either the 1921 or the 1931 films , this third screen version of twain ' s novel is , nonetheless , in many ways the least successful of the three . the novel has been turned into a musical vehicle - - not based for reasons of copyright on the 1927 rodgers and hart broadway musical - - for crosby , and the plot advances by a mix of song and silly dialogue . twain ' s novel was an example of comic genius ; this film is anything but an example of such genius . as with the other screen adaptations of twain ' s novel , this film also eschews any of the misanthropy in the original in favor of at times clumsy musical comedy .\nas usual , davis was right . although her part was subordinate to the others , and the film concentrated on some unusually brutal boxing scenes , she gave her role such warmth and humor that she appeared to hold the story together . her conciliatory scenes with the temperamental robinson , her muted expressions of love for morris , gave the character more depth than it deserved .\nhank martin , a radio repairman , is knocked unconscious by an armored figure while trying to fix a radio for a slightly crazed customer who believes he is listening in on discussions from arthur ' s round table . in a dream , martin finds himself in england in the year 528 , where he amazes arthur ' s court with his cigarette lighter , motorcycles , automobiles , machine guns , sawed - off shotguns , tanks , and airplanes . all these modern additions to life in camelot only serve to reinforce a plot designed to unite two lovers . like the other adaptations of twain ' s famous 1889 novel , this film takes some license with details from its source . rogers ' yankee is wry and unassuming ; loy ' s morgan is drawn from the long tradition of the cinematic vamp . in a wonderful would - be seduction scene , loy forces rogers to blush bright red - - an effect achieved in this black and white film by progressively tinting each frame for the scene a darker shade of pink . as with the other adaptations of twain ' s novel , the makers of this film eschew any of the misanthropy in the original in favor of comedy .\na group of children , whose leader , alex , is an arthurian enthusiast , are terrorized by three bullies . alex stumbles upon excalibur while running through the woods to escape the bullies and meets merlin . warned to use the power of excalibur only for good , alex summons its power to defeat a new boy in town , luke , with whom alex ' s girlfriend , jenny , has fallen in love . alex looses excalibur and merlin ' s counsel , but finds both restored when he single - handedly captures three armed bank robbers who hold his friends hostage . this film attempts to trade on the image of the return of arthur , but the acting is terrible ; the plot drags . even children , the intended audience here , are likely to find the film boring .\narthur , king of the britons , rules uneasily . as he journeys throughout his kingdom on his trusty steed patsy , he encounters peasants who yell marxist socio - economic theory at him , the black knight , whom he defeats ( eventually ) , and the knights who say\nni ,\nwhom he placates with a shrubbery . meanwhile , arthur ' s knights are having their own difficulties . lancelot cannot seem to find anyone genuinely in need of rescue , and sir robin and sir galahad seem a bit reluctant to join arthur in the quest for the grail . perhaps the funniest movie set in medieval times ,"]}

grabbers , lana ' s barber ' s tales uses the spiritual awakening of a village barber ' s subservient spouse to condemn patriarchy \u2013 a way of thinking which props up the behavior of corrupted politicians and thuggish husbands , but also well - meaning revolutionaries fighting for a good cause . it ' s a universal theme which would engage with audiences beyond the philippines , and lana ' s linear and conventional spin to the story \u2013 driven by melodrama of co -

suffering route as a grieving barber\u2019s widow pulled into helping rebel forces even as she gets equally unexpected entree to the mayor\u2019s home . while handled with restraint , the pic teeters into more familiar melodramatic territory than \u201cbwakaw\u201d did , which may translate into better b . o . returns at home but also less international visibility .\ninstead , barber\u2019s tales has its main character maintaining her femininity , and allowing herself to be volatile to her emotions , whether it be guilt or anger . marilou needs only to be liberated from the shadows of her husband to begin fully recovering everything she lost from being repressed .\nlana plots marilou\u2019s escape from the clutches of traditional machismo alongside a country\u2019s struggle for revolution . in barber\u2019s tales , feminism is both a personal and social concept . marilou struggles for an identity despite the male dominance the same way some revolutionaries struggle for freedom despite marcos\u2019 tight grip . the personal and social concepts merge , with marilou committing one surprising act that signifies both her assertion of her power as a woman and her oneness with all the other rebels .\nset during the end of marcos era , the film stars a widow named marilou ( eugene domingo ) who is forced to take -

sponsored repression . the seeming normalcy of life is just a veil that hides a system - inflicted suffocation , as shown by the various killings and disappearances of people thought of as enemies of the state . the nation is under the clutches of marcos\u2019 vengeful regime .\nin this context , jun robles lana ' s latest film could be seen as a metaphor for this episode in philippine history : by speaking of the political emancipation of a meek widow , barber ' s tales \u2013 which was set in 1975 , with marcos ' political sway very much present in the village the story unfolds in \u2013 could be seen as mirroring the rise of corazon aquino , who would transform from being benigno aquino ' s\nplain housewife\ninto the leading figure of the anti -

hall prostitute rosa . after one particularly intense and drunken night with rosa , jose comes home and dies in his sleep . like an orphaned child , marilou at first feels lost , but she finds guidance and strength in her two loyal friends : susan , a vendor of rice cakes , who already has five daughters and is pregnant with yet another child , and tessie , a spinster who has raised her only nephew edmond and now sends him to school in manila . the two friends encourage marilou to assume jose\u2019s role as barrio barber , especially since jose did teach marilou how to cut his hair . but even with the endorsement of the parish priest fr . arturo , the menfolk are reluctant to entrust their hair to a woman , believing barbers have to be male . only after the townmayor alfredo bartolome , jose\u2019s former client , makes marilou his official barber do the barrio folk begin to flock to marilou\u2019s barbershop .\nupon hearing about the barber ' s tales , i was quite intrigued on the title choice of the film . a kuwentong barbero or barber ' s tale is usually associated by filipinos as hearsay . this idea can be related to the government fabricating news in order to make people believe that rebels bring turmoil and to repress the growing rebels ' ideology during the martial law era . aside from this , the main focal point of the film is the comparison between patriarchy and political repression . most of her life , marilou stood behind the shadows of her husband as her husband made decisions for her . as the film progresses , she was able to find her voice and becomes an independent woman . this draw parallels to the rebels fighting the marcos regime by showing their voice through their guerrilla activity . i don ' t know if this is still worth mentioning as everyone knows how impressive thespian eugene domingo is . her performance was powerfully subtle .\na classic european play returns to paint a beautifully orchestrated canvas of life in 1931 vienna , with a superb ensemble of actors including nicola walker , joe duttine and frances barber , and musicians animating every corner of the big olivier stage .\nit ' s a powerful sentiment , though the film isn ' t always artful in its presentation . the film , though visibly subdued , is still prone to dramatic excess . there are scenes that seem to ignore the fragile reality of the situation in order to set up more dramatic moments later on . there ' s a bit , for example , that has the town shunning marilou because it ' s become known that she harbors rebels . it ' s a big , powerful moment , but it ' s something that ' s largely ignored as the movie heads into its climax , which requires that information to be hidden somehow . the film isn\u2019t quite able to build tension because of this , the movie a little too quick to dismiss its own buildup .\nthis second in lana\u2019s planned trilogy about rural village life is competently packaged , although a little more visual panache wouldn\u2019t have hurt .\nand the gravitas is matched by lana\u2019s directorial achievement . a well - chosen cast of actors , mainly from the theatre , delivers a memorable feat of ensemble - acting , where individual characters are clearly defined without anyone attracting undue attention to himself / herself . the costumes and props succeed in defining class ( as in the case of marilou , tessie and susan ) , character ( as in the case of the rich but vulnerable cecilia ) , and occupation ( as in the case of the priest and the prostitute ) , even as the lighting and camera shots are able to capture the earthiness and simplicity of the barrio folk . finally , the choice of location is nothing short of felicitous , with the little barrio representing the strictures of convention , the dominance of patriarchy , and the narrowness of vision of those who inhabit it , and the mountains behind it symbolizing freedom in all its forms \u2013 as sanctuary for beleaguered souls , as escape through tragic self - imposed death , and as haven for all rebellious spirits . with its eye for authenticity and its faithful depiction of the horrors of military rule , barber\u2019s tales is anything but a barber\u2019s tale .\nafter last year ' s excellent ' bwakaw , ' filipino writer - director jun robles lana is in more familiar melodramatic territory here .\nphilippine audiences would certainly be able to detect the parallels between history and lana ' s story \u2013 the power of funereal and religious parades , for example , or how those in power would frame their opponents with deaths they caused , as marcos tried to finger communist rebels as masterminding benigno aquino ' s killing . but just as lav diaz ' s recent festival hit north , the end of history , lana ' s film \u2013 which premiered in competition at the tokyo international film festival , where diaz ' s film would also be shown \u2013 goes beyond the lone historic event with an audacious attempt in actually exposing the commonly - shared traits which has led to the tragedy and calamity that follows .\neikanger\u2019s remarkable recording of the music of john pickard under the baton of andreas hanson takes the award with 31 . 1 % of the votes .\nfrom being j . k . rowling ' s eminent harry potter to becoming a real -

spirited and newly widowed marilou who inherits their town ' s only barbershop from her husband - - a business that has been passed down by generations of men in her husband ' s family . having no other means to support herself , she musters the courage to run the barbershop , a traditionally male trade . however , despite the skills she gained from years of observation and being an assistant to her husband , as a female barber she fails to attract any customers . nevertheless , things take an unexpected turn when marilou gains the trust of other women in her community .\ndrama desk awards -

actors provide ample support , the likes of shamaine buencamino providing some nuance to what could have been purely broad roles .\n2013 marks the 30th anniversary of an event which heralds the beginning of the end of the ferdinand marcos dictatorship in the philippines : the assassination of the tyrant ' s most vocal opponent , benigno aquino , on the tarmac of manila ' s airport on aug . 21 , 1983 would eventually snowball into a massive political movement which led to marcos ' ouster in 1986 and the return of democracy to the southeast asian nation .\nfacing the myths of your past is what makes this film familiar , gripping and enchanting all at the same time . one of those melancholy , vivid , and realistic films that brings you back to your own memories as a child . set in the beautiful and calm town of baler , the film is about ford , a surfing instructor who has been told his whole life that he\u2019s the son of francis ford coppolla . he\u2019s wasted his youth waiting as his mother petitions the director to acknowledge ford as his son . but as the surfing season ends , he\u2019s forced to confront his past actions , inactions , and the stories of his life , according to apocalypse child ' s website . the film won the best picture , best director , best supporting actress , and best artistic achievement awards at the qcinema international film festival in 2015 . ana -

it described robeson in wales , campaigning for better pay and conditions for the miners . the bond between black american activist and welsh coal pit workers was not as unlikely as it sounds : there , robeson once said , he \u201cfirst understood the struggles of white and negro together \u2013 when i went down into the coal mine in the rhondda valley , lived amongst them\u201d . he joined their hunger marches in 1927 and 1928 and starred in a 1940 film , proud valley , about a black miner moving to the region .\nleave it to the master of suspense to meld docudrama realism with the melodrama of film noir . \u201c alfred hitchcock \u2019s powerful portrait of a man \u2026 drawn from life ! \u201d the wrong man \u2019s original trailer proclaims . it\u2019s to the film\u2019s credit that hitch doesn\u2019t screw around here , telling in full the story of a man falsely convicted for robberies he never committed . unsurprisingly , hitch is every bit as interested in the effects of the outrageous miscarriage of justice that befalls manny balestrero as he is in the lasting trauma his detention inflicts on him and his family . the wrong man puts a high premium on claustrophobic camerawork\u2014we feel like we\u2019re as confined as poor old manny\u2014but the film\u2019s greatest impression is left in its aftermath . \u2014 a . c .\nmary\u2019s grandfather , lafe cantillon , founded the town and disapproves of mary\u2019s marriage to a foreigner . mary and her mother , however , are thrilled with the fact that mary is now a countess , and they make the most of it via various social occasions . \u201cferdie , \u201d however , is tired of high society and has dreams of becoming a \u201creal\u201d american by running his own ranch .\n, however , lynch took his fascination with the subgenre to a whole other level , depicting a world where a character\u2019s interior life influences not only the film\u2019s visual style but its narrative structure as well . in the first great performance of her illustrious career ,\nrobeson was born in princeton , new jersey , in 1898 . his father started life as a plantation slave in north carolina , but escaped in 1860 and eventually become a pastor . robeson recalls , in his book here i stand ( 1958 ) , his father\u2019s determination and loyalty to his convictions : \u201cfrom my youngest days i was imbued with that concept , \u201d he writes . his family\u2019s longer history of activism is noteworthy , too ; his maternal great - great - grandfather , cyrus bustill , became in 1787 a founder of the free african society , the first mutual aid organisation of african americans .\nindeed , perhaps robeson\u2019s greatest legacy is as civil rights activist \u2013 one victimised by his own country for his socialist leanings , mccarthyism shattering his career in the 1950s . in a white man\u2019s world during the cold war , robeson was considered a double danger : both black and red . even now , one can\u2019t help noting that it has taken a british filmmaker , not an american , to plan his screen biography .\n\u201ca beautiful femme fatale saunters into an unsuspecting man\u2019s life and entices him into committing murder for her . \u201d this logline could be used to describe any number of classic film noirs . most of this can be traced back to author james m . cain , who wrote two books\u2014\nhits new depths of noir pessimism\u2014all threat , no sentiment . it\u2019s no stretch to draw parallels between dassin\u2019s displaced filmmaker and fabian\u2019s yank in london , nor his vision of the noir city , quintessentially american , across the pond . harry is , as his long - suffering friend mary ( tierney ) tells him , \u201can artist without an art , \u201d a cipher left to scavenge the hellish urban underbelly , london\u2019s architecture practically suffocated in expressionist\nfilm noir or horror\u2014which category does charles laughton\u2019s night of the hunter belong in ? frankly , all such quibbles are needless . the film fits snugly beneath either appellation , for one thing : it\u2019s a hybridized version of both . ( let\u2019s call it \u201cfilm noirror . \u201d ) for another , it\u2019s a masterwork , so fie upon labels . night of the hunter lurks in shadows and revels in misogyny . whether you\u2019ve seen it or not , you probably have the image of robert mitchum\u2019s tattooed knuckles imprinted upon your brain thanks to pop culture osmosis . reverend harry powell is quite the villain , a man as quick to distort the truth with honey - coated lies as laughton is to distort reality through oblique perspective , unnerving use of shadows and light , and a dizzying array of camera compositions that make small - town west virginia feel altogether otherworldly . \u2014 a . c .\n, which centers on two treasury agents who must go undercover to infiltrate a notorious counterfeiting ring . while not boasting any big - name actors or even a particularly novel story , the film is noted for its inventive cinematography , with mann and cinematographer john alton deciding to shoot several scenes on location in\nafter taking a law degree at columbia , robeson began to work for a firm of lawyers , but resigned after facing racism within the company . turning to the stage , spurred on by his wife , eslanda ( essie ) , he shot to fame when eugene o\u2019neill asked him to star in all god\u2019s chillun got wings and the emperor jones in 1924 . showboat in london followed four years later . meanwhile , in 1925 , he began his singing career in new york by becoming the first artist to give a recital consisting entirely of negro spirituals .\nwe\u2019ll start with the following 100 titles . some 70 years after the term \u201cfilm noir\u201d was first uttered , take a trip through the screwed - up terrain of the mid - century psyche , with all its sex , lies , and crime scene tape . let\u2019s get going\u2014don\u2019t say we didn\u2019t warn you . \u2014 amanda schurr\n, an adaptation of novelist / screenwriter scott b . smith\u2019s 1993 thriller about three working - class men who end up stumbling upon a crashed plane filled with millions of dollars in cash . seeing this as the answer to their financial woes , the men divvy up the money only to quickly find their close - knit group torn apart by greed and paranoia . while not ostensibly film noir in its construction , the story nevertheless touches upon classic noir themes\u2014namely , the corruptive power of greed and the folly of man in attempting to control life\u2019s chaos . whatever its designation , the film presents an absorbing , if unmistakably devastating , modern - day morality tale . \u2014\nlawrence kasdan\u2019s directorial debut remains , to this day , one of the sexiest movies ever to grace the big screen\u2014not to mention , the rare occasion where the phrase \u201cerotic thriller\u201d can be appropriately uttered without the slightest hint of a snicker . boasting a star - making performance by kathleen turner , the film takes the standard double indemnity / the postman always rings twice premise ( femme fatale hires lover to kill husband ) and grafts it onto the humid nightmare that is florida in the midst of a heat wave . memorable sex scenes aside , however , the film is also a master class in how to build suspense and escalate tension . \u2014 m . r .\n, flopped at the box office only to be revived later as a beloved cult classic . the film casts rufus swell as an amnesiac who wakes up one night to discover that his city is ( quite literally ) being manipulated by a band of mysteriously pale men in jet - black trench coats and fedoras . along for the ride is\nplays a wide - eyed actress newly arrived in hollywood who stumbles upon a beautiful young woman who can\u2019t remember who she is . that pithy logline only touches the tip of the iceberg , as the film delights in throwing numerous other subplots and mysteries at its audience only to violently pull the rug out from under them in its latter half .\na favorite of martin scorsese , force of evil centers on a lawyer who finds himself involved with an influential gangster looking to take over all smaller rackets in town . the problem ? one of those desirable rackets is run by the lawyer\u2019s older brother . like t - men , the film makes great use of shooting on location . moreover , at times , the film\u2019s familial themes and stylized writing help elevate the conflict to near shakespearean levels ( or biblical levels , considering how frequently it alludes to the story of cain and abel ) . though relatively small in scale , force of evil finds greatness in its aim to convey grandiose , large - scale ideas . \u2014 m . r .\n. ) kubrick\u2019s work here is no - frills and elegantly straightforward : sterling hayden plans one final holdup before retiring and settling down with coleen gray . no twists and turns , just good old - fashioned theft at the racetrack . the film revels in the gray morality of hayden\u2019s good intentions . crime pays , at least until it doesn\u2019t . \u2014\ndoes any psychopath in film noir\u2019s rogues gallery strike quite as much immediate , stomach - churning terror as tommy udo ? the man\u2019s got a leering , sunken visage only a mother could love , provided she keeps her eyes closed tightly and doesn\u2019t give him reason to shove her down the stairs . richard widmark\u2019s wolf grin might be the only thing about kiss of death that matters . bereft of him , of course , henry hathaway\u2019s film remains solid , but widmark\u2019s oscar - nominated performance makes the entire enterprise feel vital . he\u2019s a villain for the ages , perhaps robbed of his due by hathaway\u2019s need to architect a happy ending . such is life working with production codes . \u2014 a . c .\nthe robesons returned to the us on the outbreak of the second world war ; and during this era robeson\u2019s american recognition reached its apogee . critics lauded him as an \u201cartistic and social genius\u201d ( theodore dreiser ) and \u201cgifted by the gods as musician and actor\u201d ( walter damrosch ) . but now his activism , too , intensified . he met president harry s . truman to demand anti - lynching legislation , supported the rise of trade unions and campaigned in 1948 for the election of the progressive party\u2019s candidate henry a . wallace as president .\n: at first confused , then maybe a little angry , but then ultimately delighted by how fooled they\u2019d just been . perfectly paced , brilliantly scored by director bryan singer and editor / composer john ottman\u2014the film never lets the marks know they\u2019re being conned by the irresistible ensemble or christopher mcquarrie\u2019s dark , mischievous script . and then like that \u2026 it\u2019s gone\u2026 \u2014\nget carter director mike hodges\u2019s last great film was budding star clive owen\u2019s first . in fact , even now more than 15 years after its release , croupier may be the best thing owen has ever done , playing a struggling novelist who takes a job at a casino , looking for inspiration but finding mostly trouble . watch this film now to be reminded where the actor first prompted speculation that he\u2019d make a great james bond : his character jack manfred isn\u2019t a super - spy , but he\u2019s got the jet - black suaveness , lady - killing panache and dry wit we associate with 007 . croupier is a movie attracted to the sleazier side of life , and owen\u2019s antihero was the perfect tour guide . \u2014 tim grierson\nmaybe falling in love with dead people is just an occupational hazard of being an investigative detective in new york city . then again , maybe a shotgun blast to the face couldn\u2019t keep anybody from developing a crush on gene tierney , which is pretty much how the plot of otto preminger\u2019s laura goes . the film tracks the trajectory of nypd detective mark mcpherson\u2019s growing obsession with the eponymous young lady as he cobbles together the bits and pieces of her life and death . poring over her diary and her letters , he comes to moon over her , and why not ? she\u2019s every bit as delightful as preminger\u2019s movie . laura doesn\u2019t waste time and stacks contrivance on top of unlikelihood , but such is the strength of preminger\u2019s craft and the performances of his cast that the film\u2019s convolution doesn\u2019t matter . \u2014 a . c .\nmcqueen , whose film 12 years a slave was showered with awards , has apparently wished to tackle the topic for many years , but has said that only now has he the necessary \u201cjuice\u201d . sure enough , robeson\u2019s life , both public and personal , cries out for adaptation . and even 38 years after his death , he still awaits true recognition as the cultural giant and social idealist that he really was .\nof all the films on this list , joseph h . lewis\u2019 deliriously lusty gun crazy might be the best starting place for viewers looking to brush up on their film noir . gun crazy gets it . more than just about any noir of any era , gun crazy understands on a cellular level why people watch noirs , why the criminal element has such an incongruously romantic appeal . the film is an embarrassment of naughty delights , notably the tension between john dall and peggy cummins , so taut it\u2019s fit to snap ; it\u2019s also made with high - level craftsmanship , best exemplified in a bravura bank robbery sequence shot in one jaw - dropping take . men do all kinds of crazy stuff in the name of love . watching dall embark on a life of gun - toting crime with cummins doesn\u2019t strike one as all that far - fetched . \u2014 a . c .\nsome noirs get their hooks into you within their first few minutes and don\u2019t let go even after the credits roll . angel face isn\u2019t one of those . it\u2019s a deliberate , considerate film , one that has a destination in mind and makes no bones about taking its time getting there . whether you ride with it is up to you , but come on : this is otto preminger\u2014lesser otto preminger , perhaps , certainly not one of his better celebrated films . even lesser preminger is worth your time , though , particularly when he\u2019s as laser - focused as he is here . angel face builds . it\u2019s a movie that constantly sets itself up and points toward its shocker of a climax . preminger\u2019s direction renders this story of crazy love , shared between robert mitchum and jean simmons , unpredictable if slow . don\u2019t let the apparent languidness get in your way . the unhurried pace adds to the film\u2019s grimmer pleasures . \u2014 andy crump\nas it was a change of pace for lupino , who , after directing four features that each revolved around the struggles and victimization of women , decided to try her hand with decidedly more masculine fare . decades later , her film is still generally considered the first noir directed by a woman , but it should really be thought of first as a slim , unsparing , suspenseful slice of true crime . she puts her foot on the gas and doesn\u2019t let up until the very end . \u2014\nand so noir cast its misfits\u2014gun - toting , hard - drinking , lipstick and stiletto - wearing human chimneys of neuroses\u2014into a seductive , violent postwar labyrinth , in which the terror was internal and external . fear of the next world conflict , fear of each other , fear of never getting back to a pure time , the fear in realizing there never really was one . a study in extremes that dealt in innuendo ( thanks again , censors ! ) as it departed from accepted cultural norms and , sometimes , basic humanity\u2014film doesn\u2019t get more perverse , or more unapologetic about it , than the noir environment .\nactually marks one of the filmmaker\u2019s more accessible works . indeed , the opening set - up feels akin to the sort of \u201cwrong man\u201d scenarios favored by hitchcock\u2014a new york thief ends up pickpocketing a young woman\u2019s wallet , only to discover it contains top - secret government intel . the man quickly realizes he has become an unwitting player in some serious cold war - era espionage . though undeniably dated in certain places , the film\u2019s take on politics and sex as well as its willingness to position an unrepentant thief in its main character slot represented the kind of daring mentality that would have been celebrated years later in the new\nas a down - on - his - luck wwii veteran who relocates to l . a . to start a new career as a private investigator . as tends to happen with pis in this subgenre , the man inevitably finds himself embroiled in a complicated murder investigation . adding his own spin to the well - trodden noir plotlines , writer / director carl franklin uses his film\u2019s detective story as a launching pad to explore the racial landscape of 1940s america . philip marlowe certainly had his share of rough encounters , but he had the benefit of never being instantly judged on the basis of his skin color . mix in a scene - stealing turn from don cheadle and\nin one of the most intriguing opening scenes in film history , d . o . a . commences with a lengthy tracking shot of a man as he stumbles into the police office to make an unusual request\u2014he wants to report his own murder . this opening image just about sums up d . o . a . , a brisk yet exhilarating noir thriller with one hell of a high - concept . after being administered a deadly poison , the main character has only a few days to discover who dosed him and why . what follows is a glorious mix of high - stakes melodrama and entertaining sleaze all compacted into a concise hour - and - twenty minute running time . \u2014 m . r .\njules dassin\u2019s impact on film noir is widely documented\u2014if you need proof , just consider the fact a handful of his best contributions to the genre have landed on this very list\u2014and among them , thieves\u2019 highway is perhaps the most economical . at the same time , it\u2019s superficially the least noirish : it\u2019s a revenge movie , sure , but that revenge is sought by a good man driven to right wrongs done to his father . this is a movie built on a pure search for retribution , though of course it\u2019s dassin , so nothing is ever that simple , and in point of fact everything that can go wrong for nick garcos does . who knew the world of fruit trucking could be so damn cutthroat ? \u2014 a . c .\nwhen you look at jack nicholson \u2019s run of films in what i\u2019ll call the \u201cnew hollywood\u201d era , starting with easy rider in 1969 and ending with the shining in 1980 , it\u2019s truly astounding . there\u2019s barely a dud on the list , so it\u2019s really saying something that chinatown , roman polanski\u2019s crime classic , stands out among the best . the central mystery is bold for its complexity , revolving around water rights in 1930s southern california\u2014a plot that remains relevant today\u2014and was undoubtedly an influence for the second season of true detective . like much of polanski\u2019s work , an ominous atmosphere works alongside the plot , shadowing every character in doubt and undermining the possibility of a clean conclusion . in polanski\u2019s world , the mere fact that a mystery is solved doesn\u2019t mean there\u2019s a happy ending , and his incredible powers of ambiguity have never been so strong as in chinatown . nominated for 11 academy awards , it won the oscar for robert towne\u2019s original screenplay . add nicholson at his most essential , along with a young faye dunaway and an aging john huston , and this is truly one of the classics of american cinema . \u2014 s . r .\na story of unintended connections and one woman\u2019s spiraling descent into paranoia and terror , sorry , wrong number gets sort of a bum rap next to double indemnity in barbara stanwyck\u2019s catalogue of awesome performances . the film alternates between flashbacks and the present , and so too does stanwyck\u2019s spoiled , shiftless heiress to a drug - store empire go from lethargy to hysteria . turns out she\u2019s the center of a murder plot , though she doesn\u2019t quite realize it at first and must piece together the architecture of her own demise as she lies bedridden and alone in her opulent manhattan digs . stanwyck gives sorry , wrong number a pulse , while anatole litvak\u2019s direction soaks her growing terror in shadows so deep , the intruder sneaking through her house can\u2019t help but bump into the furniture . \u2014 a . c .\nafter the success of 1947\u2019s t - men , director anthony mann reteamed the following year with star dennis o\u2019keefe , screenwriter john c . higgins , and cinematographer john alton for raw deal . the plot revolves around a prisoner who , after taking the fall for his boss , makes a break from the slammer with the help of his girlfriend . his boss , however , isn\u2019t looking to reward his employee\u2019s loyalty and sets about trying to have him killed . much like t - men , raw deal boasts some truly arresting images , courtesy of alton , that worked to crystallize the standard noir look . and though some of the film\u2019s story now comes across a bit rote , particularly the inclusion of a love triangle , there\u2019s enough visual splendor and hard - hitting action to make it essential noir viewing . \u2014 m . r .\ndon siegel\u2019s debut picture , the verdict rests between two axes : peter lorre and sydney greenstreet . siegel could have shot the film and styled his mis\u00e9 en scene any way he wanted , and none of it would have mattered so long as he kept his two leading men on the cast . the verdict is all about them , both from the perspective of narrative and in terms of the viewing experience . lorre has a habit of stealing our attention while hanging out at the edges of the frame , while greenstreet uses his imposing bulk to command from the center of the camera . they make a fun pair as antiheroes trying to redeem greenstreet\u2019s disgraced scotland yard superintendent when an innocent man is sent to the gallows thanks to his botched investigation , while siegel soaks their mission in noir\u2019s dark - washed style and black humor . \u2014 a . c .\nplaced next to the rest of his filmography , jules dassin\u2019s the naked city feels somewhat rote . if you\u2019ve ever watched a single episode of law and order , or if you have a distinct fondness for procedural fare at large , then you really owe a debt of thanks to dassin\u2019s stripped - down work here . unlike so many other noirs , the naked city aims for realism over stylish melodrama . that verisimilitude has kept the film from aging well , but dassin\u2019s commitment to authenticity lends a great deal of heft to his story of brute violence in new york city , even if the plot runs pretty much by the numbers . that\u2019s sort of the point , of course : to showcase the way that law operates in service to justice . the results might be flat , but their influence and dedication to purity call for our acknowledgement . \u2014 a . c ."]}

film . imo , mannan belongs to the former because none of the female characters in the film exhibit feminist traits .\nthe film is grossly misogynistic in the sense that it follows the overused \u2018taming an arrogant woman\u2019 and \u2018showing a woman her place\u2019 templates .\nthe story is about the conflicts between a man - the caring son of a mother - and a man - hating woman - the only daughter of a millionaire father - ceo . the rest of the plot is woven around her attempts to take revenge on him ( of course , by marrying him ) . but , as always , she ends up losing the battle and gets \u2018reformed\u2019 by her husband ( the hero ) . in the end , the head strong woman ceo is merely reduced to a caring \u2018lunchbox giving\u2019 housewife !\nthis movie is a classic rajinikanth movie , his style and just his presence is magnificent .\nthe movie does portray a strong woman but she\u2019s kinda an ass ( yeah woman can also be assholes , equality yeah ! ) , she\u2019s ultimately tamed by thalaivar , yeah that comes out as anti - feminist , misogynistic even to some ( honestly if you think this is misogynistic you shouldn\u2019t watch old indian movies ) .\nsummary - krishnan ' s boss shanti is an autocratic , domineering woman and krishnan defies her many times . irked and revengeful , she manipulates his paralysed mother and marries him in a bid to control him .\n) being announced as the number one industrialist in india . shantidevi is a rich and arrogant lady and rules her company with an iron hand . enters krishnan (\nto see his mother .

elderly man , viswanathan , is beaten up by several men . krishnan helps him and takes him to a hospital and finds out that viswanathan is none other the business man whom he was going to meet . krishnan is asked to go to the factory only to discover that factory belongs to shantidevi who happens to be viswanathan ' s daughter . shantidevi refuses to hire krishnan but later due to her dad ' s compulsion she recruits krishnan .\n) who is shantidevi ' s secretary . meena is a very sweet and warm person who instantly falls in love with krishnan . in the mean time krishnan is elected as the

mother to get her married and krishnan obliges his mother . krishnan ' s mother is not aware of shantidevi ' s plan . shantidevi expects krishnan to stay at home post marriage but her plan back fires

comes to know about their bitter relationship and dies immediately , out of guilt . shantidevi is being kidnapped by some of her business rivals , when krishnan saves her and ultimately she realizes

here\u2019s the set of largest crowd - funded telugu film\nreliance jio\u2019s giga fibre is finally announced . and there are a lot of surprises for users\nwhat if . . bb - 2 contestants were authors ? here\u2019s how their books would look like . part - 2 .\nunfortunately , kfi has been at the receiving end over the last several years . remakes have supplanted great scripts and writers . producers find it easier to remake rather than do the hard work and develop great stories . 60s , 70s and 80s were great because we developed great writers and used novels to produce great movies . there are just way too many to list .\nto make matters worse , the kfi market size has shrunk from its peak of about 800 to 1000 theaters to about less than 400 . other language movies have made huge inroads into karnataka . hindi and telugu movies are running rampant in north karnataka . movie like dhoom 3 and krrish 3 were released in 80 and 67 theatres in north karnataka .\nhindi and telugu and tamil movies have penetrated even into c centers of karnataka reducing potential for kannada movies . dhoom 3 made rs . 37 lakhs in the first week from one theater in mangalore ( big cinemas . it made rs . 26 . 3 laks in week from satyam mysore and it made 1 . 13 crores from pvr orion in the first week .\nthe best first week gross for a kannada movie at pvr orion is 24 lakhs for gaja kesari . at satyam mysore , it is about 11 lakhs for anna bond and in mangalore just about rs . 6 lakhs for anna bond . kfi is not even close to big movies from hindi in our own backyard . if we do not widen the audience pool , it will be very tough for kfi . producing quality original movies would be the first step towards achieving it .\ndhoom3 ' s first week share was about rs . 60 lakhs in mysore city . final mysore city business was about rs . 1 . 32 crores in just 4 weeks . only jackie , anna bond , hudugaru and raam have a bigger gross in mysore city than dhoom3 . jogi did rs . 1 . 3 crores in 2005 . in 2013 value , it would be over rs . 3 crores .\nin 2013 , both chennai express and dhoom 3 grossed over rs . 1 crore just in mysore city .\nanyway , kfi should adopt the malayalam industry model to an extent . while their home state market is only 50 % of that of karnataka , malayalam industry has been steadily growing due to their quality products . they rarely remake movies due to abundance of talent in their industry . kfi would have to produce more mass movies compared to them due to the differences in audience tastes between kerala and karnataka .\nas don indicated in some other thread , let us get those talents that penned fine scripts like drishyam elsewhere to write good original scripts for our movies . in fact there is historical precedence for that . salim javed were brought in to pen raja nanna raja and premada kanike in the mid 70s during their peak . if this was done during an era when kfi had an abundance of talent in karnataka , it certainly can / should be used now .\nol : . . . . easily the industry which is making maximum number of remakes in indian film industry . . . . 30 remakes in 2013 - 2014\nirony is in karnataka most of the people blame kfi for not expanding the market . . . . . at the same time they watch and enjoy the remakes saying they want entertainment . . . .\ndhoom 3 total first week gross from just 14 multiplexes in karnataka : rs . 6 . 33 crores\nthe grosses of cinepolis , rockline , drc , laxmi pride & other smaller multiplexes are not reported . if you include those , dhoom 3 first week gross in karnataka from just multiplexes is about r . 9 crores .\nin 2013 , four ( 4 ) hindi movies have crossed rs . 10 crore gross in karnataka . krrish 3 \u2013 rs . 10 . 5 crores , yjhd \u2013 rs . 13 . 5 crores , chennai exp . rs . 15 crores and dhoom 3 \u2013 rs . 23 crores\nwhile telugu and tamil affect the kannada movie grosses on single screens , hindi is a much bigger threat . telugu and tamil don\u2019t even make 10 to 15 % of hindi multiplex grosses in karnataka . so kfi has to truly market to multiplex audiences .\neven financially , it makes perfect sense to market kfi for multiplexe audiences , due to the high ticket rates . dhoom 3 sold 35 , 520 tickets at pvr orion in the first week . at a single screen , it would have yielded about rs . 24 lakhs using a unit rate of rs . 70 / ticket . dhoom 3 grossed rs . 1 . 13 crores which is about 4 . 5 times more than what a single screen would have grossed . while rates for kannada movies are lower currently , they certainly could match once the audience pool grows exponentially .\ni would like to mention few telugu remakes of kannada movies . kannada movies per se have lesser collections as they have a smaller market compared to the telugu movies . so most of the remake movies have had a better run than their originals .\n( 1972 ) . it was directed by legendary kannada film director puttana kanagal . the film was critical acclaimed in kannada , but went on to become one of the well known films of akkineni nageswara rao .\n( 1971 ) . it was remake of school master . it gave the legendary actor ntr a fresh lease of life when he was running with series of flops .\n( 1962 ) . this comic drama film starring ntr & anr was remake of kannada film mane thumbida hennu .\n( 1992 ) is arguably one of the biggest blockbusters in megastar chiranjeevi\u2019s career . it was first south indian movie to cross 10 crore\n. ironically , this telugu movie had a very long run at karnataka box office also .\n( 1993 ) . this classic family drama was remade multiple times in different languages . it was a remake of kannada movie mallammana pavada ( 1969 ) which was inspired by the novel of the same name . the novel inspired telugu movie with similar story line ardhangi ( 1955 ) . it was remade 8 times across different languages . irrespective of the story origin abbaigaru was the biggest hit among all the remakes .\nwas a musical hit . it had retained the kannada song\nenneno janmala bandham\nfrom the original kannada version -\n( 2003 ) . yes . sometimes kannada films also provide unique ideas to balagaru such as pulling the chair and moving the train like spiderman . strangely , the original kannada version was a box office failure .\nin late 90s , we can see a reversal of sorts in the trend where most of telugu remakes of kannada super hit movies not doing commercially well where as kannada remakes of telugu movies finding success even after \u2018straight telugu movie releases\u2019 in karnataka .\nexclusive royalty - free music library for video and film projects . find your music track in seconds !\nseries in telugu . it is difficult to say if it was better than the original , but chiranjeevi made the two movies immensely popular .\nthe liberal prognosis of teleological triumph appeared vindicated when the soviet union collapsed days before the end of 1991 . if we take the reductionist logic of the cold war between the united states and the soviet union as \u2018capitalism vs . communism\u2019 , one ideology established a nonpareil . the hegelian dialectic supposedly reached its apotheosis when the foremost communist state splintered , marking the so - called \u2018end of history\u2019 . triumphalist interpretations declared that liberal democracy and neoliberal capitalism prevailed to bring to eschatological fulfillment the enlightenment project . however , the cataclysm also interred the dream of a working - class utopia ; the world was lost for the proletariat .\nthis regional narrative also captivated a national market through multiple adaptations across india\u2019s major film industries . a telugu remake starring tollywood megastar chiranjeevi , gharana mogudu ( \u2018rogue husband\u2019 , 1992 ) was a blockbuster and spawned a hit remake in hindi as laadla ( \u2018beloved son\u2019 , 1994 ) starring bollywood\u2019s top stars at that juncture , anil kapoor , and sri devi . a comparative reading of all three films reveals laadla to be a more faithful remake , whereas gharana mogudu is heavily inspired by mannan with major changes made to the plot to suit the star persona of chiranjeevi . there are talks of an updated tamil remake this year to coincide with the 25th anniversary , with a number of kollywood stars vying to reprise the roles of the original\u2019s ensemble cast .\nyet , two and a half decades later , mannan remains an under - studied text despite lending itself to rich and variegated interpretations from a spectrum of perspectives . a retrospective textual analysis must deal with both a literal reading in light of conventionalized interpretations and a second - order reading of the film\u2019s connotations . gendered interpretations long held to be second - order analysis have now become the de rigueur denotative readings based on popular cultural memory .\nintending to rekindle debates about the film , an alternative second - order marxist reading is proposed . the lesser known urtext also provides an informative starting point for reading the film . looking at mannan , through the lenses of contextualization , historicization , and concatenation , a sublated interpretation can be extrapolated . by retrieving the idiom of class struggle as the primary animator of narrative tension , a more complicated image of the semantic field mannan exists in emerges consonant with the polysemic nature of the text .\nabove all , mannan shows that power is determined not by gender but by power over production and power over human capital . rather than seeing the dialectical process as resolved , given the global context at the time of the film\u2019s release , mannan reasserts the dignity of labor and the importance of working class mobilization to resist unfettered capitalism and dehumanizing competition . rather than suggesting prescience , it is more appropriate to see mannan as a palliative for the beleaguered left holding on to the hope of a society based on cooperation , between genders and classes , instead of competition . to the filmmaker\u2019s credit , mannan marks out a cultural space for itself in ways that the remakes do not .\nthe narrative of mannan is prima facie a taming of the shrew - esque plot updated for ' 90s - era india showing the power struggle between a beautiful young and successful industrialist and her corporation\u2019s rambunctiously charismatic working - class hero . we are told in the film\u2019s introduction that as managing director shanti devi ( telugu cinema\u2019s \u2018lady superstar\u2019 vijayashanti ) has just made her company india\u2019s \u2018number one\u2019 . shanti manages her corporation with an iron first : dissent against her solipsistic vision is not tolerated . union elections in shanti devi & company are always walkovers - - no one has dared to compete against her candidate , the company\u2019s sycophantic production manager secretly in cahoots with her main business rival .\nthat is until krishna ( played by tamil screen legend , \u2018superstar\u2019 rajinikanth ) challenges her totalitarian management as the company\u2019s chief mechanic and popularly elected union leader . shanti feels threatened by the influence krishna has over the factory\u2019s blue - collars , which she once monopolized in the labor - intensive manufacturing factory . after successfully manipulating his ailing mother to gain her approval that he does not transgress , shanti marries krishna . through marriage , she intends to either domesticate him or undermine his clout with the proletariat who would see him as the capitalist\u2019s husband and not their comrade .\nyet , shanti fails to defang krishna , who outsmarts all of her machinations . things come to a head when krishna exercises his influence as the union leader and calls for a hunger strike , which paralyzes the company . shanti has a nervous breakdown that she vents on krishna . heartbroken at witnessing the dispute between krishna and shanti , krishna\u2019s mother dies . blaming herself for her mother in law\u2019s death , shanti is on the verge of suicide . her main business rival takes the opportunity to try to murder shanti and her family but krishna saves everyone in a spectacular climactic fight scene . finally , an intenerated shanti tearfully admits defeat and begs for her husband\u2019s forgiveness . in the last scene , we see her as a housewife . her secretary takes over as the boss .\nsouth asian feminists lambast mannan as a misogynistic text perpetuating male - chauvinistic gender roles by valorizing a hetero - patriarchal worldview . they castigate the negative stereotyping of shanti as an emasculating castrator , antithetical to the more benign female characters who fulfill traditional gender roles . feminist interpretations about tamil cinema inveigh against the portrayal of shanti in mannan as bumptious because she is a powerful independent - minded woman . such fulminations resort to abridged designations of shanti\u2019s complex character and tend to fixate on shanti\u2019s conversion or her being tamed into a housewife by krishna . a recent article encapsulated this type of feminist critique :\nrajinikanth exemplified the ultimate taming of the shrew in mannan , in which he puts his arrogant rich wife vijayashanti in her place - - the kitchen and the bedroom .\nneedless to say , the narrative reinforces gender polarities . krishna\u2019s infirm mother , parvati amma ( played by yesteryear actress pandari bai ) , and meena ( played by ' 90s starlet khushboo in yet another girl - next - door role ) , krishna\u2019s love interest and shanti\u2019s personal secretary , conform to traditional expectations of femininity . parvati amma is the archetypal \u201cloving mother\u201d of tamil culture who is \u201cthe ultimate image of the \u2018good woman\u2019 within popular film narratives\u201d . unlike the usual ' 90s rajinikanth - vehicle that opens with a high - octane song - and - dance number , the first song in mannan is a gentle paean to mothers and motherhood , which serves as a leitmotif repeated at various points to emphasize krishna\u2019s devotion to his mother ( source : sundar kaali , \u201cnarrating seduction : vicissitudes of the sexed subject in tamil nativity film\u201d in making meaning in indian cinema , 2000 ) .\nsimilarly , the moment romance blossoms between krishna and meena , she pines for the day he will marry and domesticate her . with dramatic irony , it is meena who becomes the boss of the corporation at the end of the narrative . the conservative meena is the figure of the \u201cself - sacrificing tamil woman\u201d who forsakes her romance with krishna for her boss whom she admires . yet she continues to take care of his stroke - afflicted mother - - a surrogate traditional wife . meena is also the surplus heroine who enhances the hero\u2019s masculinity and virility , she gets a foot tapping fantasy duet with krishna ( source : premalatha karupiah , \u201chegemonic femininity in tamil movies : exploring the voices of youths in chennai , india\u201d in continuum : journal of media & cultural studies , vol . 30 , no . 1 , 2016 ) .\nwhile traditional womanhood is valorized through parvati amma and meena , the hardline feminist tycoon shanti departs from these expectations . when she is interviewed on national television for being the boss of india\u2019s top corporation she proclaims that women are superior to men . she proceeds to inform the female television reporter that men should be domesticated and women left to run the country . she concludes the interview by proposing her vision of conjugality in which she will be \u2018number one\u2019 and her husband will be the inferior \u2018number two\u2019 . at work , the perfectionist shanti slaps a male factory supervisor for productivity shortfalls and yells at her male production manager multiple times for ineptitude . shanti humiliates a business rival who proposes a marriage union between his scion and her . her first meeting with krishna when they accidentally collide at the airport also leads to locked horns .\nwhile there is some truth to these ruminations , it ' s also fair to levy the charge of decontextualization or cherrypicking on feminist readings that are more popular cultural memory than thorough textual analysis . they criticize the legacy rajinikanth leaves behind for making female characters subordinate to his heroes in his action - masala films . while rajinikanth - vehicles do demonstrate a male - centeredness as phallocentric fantasies , mannan is less straightforward . popular memory has pigeonholed the film into excerpts , ignoring that it also condemns violence against women by showing krishna\u2019s initial deployment of force against shanti as fruitless and promotes female empowerment to ensure that women remain in the most powerful position in the narrative . at the heart of mannan is the conceit that domestic violence , physical and emotional , is a civil war of attrition that inevitably hemorrhages both parties .\nwhen krishna tries to save shanti from an industrial accident at the factory by carrying her away , absolutely livid at the physical contact , she slaps him . in retaliation , after a quick - fire sermon about traditional womanly virtues in tamil culture , krishna slaps shanti back ( the sound engineer for mannan seems to have ensured that every slap or fingersnap in the film , whether from shanti or krishna , reverberates like a gunshot ) . rather than subduing shanti , as is expected of masculine aggression against women in action - masala films , krishna\u2019s retaliation only emboldens her . when the camera catches her expression after the altercation , she is smirking ; far from being cowed , she is invigorated by the clash .\nshanti escalates her own aggressive maneuvers against krishna and he responds in kind setting in motion a vicious cycle of conflict . unlike the hackneyed taming of the shrew - esque tales in tamil cinema , the physical and emotional violence in mannan is neither asymmetrical nor decisive . shanti manipulates , traumatizes , and abuses krishna just as much as he does . this is to the extent where she overturns gender conventions in tamil cinema by laying a connubial trap for him . here the rajinikanth - vehicle departs from his established star persona as the angry young man of action , to realize the limits of using violence on his nemesis . instead , for the rest of the film , he uses his smarts to expose the contradictions of shanti\u2019s business empire . only after a bloody and bruising dispute for both sides does she concede , albeit a pyrrhic victory for krishna . in retrospect , vijayashanti may have provided the most formidable adversary to the hero in a rajinikanth - vehicle ever .\nthe extratextual star economy only reinforces the textual analysis . the casting coup that gave rise to mannan prepares the audience for a gender war that will not be a foregone conclusion . consideration of the star economy in indian cinema is essential to the more balanced reading proposed . before this film , vijayashanti began establishing herself as a heroine in \u201cfemale - centred action films\u201d where she would routinely beat male villains to a pulp . in her analysis of the genre in indian cinema , film scholar lalitha gopalan suggests that vijayashanti managed to \u201ccorner some of the most spectacularly aggressive roles in indian cinema\u201d as the avenging woman . unlike other heroines who play second fiddle to the hero , in her early ' 90s - era heyday , she became known as \u201cthe amitabh bachchan of andhra pradesh\u201d emulating the preeminent bollywood legend . as an action heroine , vijayashanti was an indian film legend in her own right ( source : lalitha gopalan , \u201cavenging women in indian cinema\u201d in making meaning in indian cinema , 2000 ) .\nmoreover , an india today report from 1992 revealed that vijayashanti was the highest earning actress in indian cinema . her remuneration surpassed that of her peers in tollywood and even in bollywood . by the time mannan was released , vijayashanti had also established a major fan base and an immense reputation in the cinemas of south india . between the a - list of indian cinema\u2019s action - masala genre , the report also established rajinikanth and chiranjeevi as higher earners than amitabh bachchan . in the ensemble cast of mannan , vijayashanti\u2019s reputation as \u2018lady superstar\u2019 , of course , positions her on par with tamil cinema ' s \u2018superstar\u2019 . braggadocio from both krishna and shanti is , therefore , to be expected . the star economy ensures that there can be no easy resolution that would too severely damage the dignity of either character , which would upset their fans . the star persona of both leads makes it difficult for the audience to anticipate the outcome .\nat the end of the movie , the heroine becomes the submissive housewife , but the hero is not the boss of the firm . the way the denouement plays out overturns expectations that krishna would take over his wife\u2019s role . instead in meritocratic fashion , meena takes over as managing director with hundreds of men under her charge ( while laadla retains this , gharana mogudu completely abandons this progressive angle altogether ) . in fact , throughout the film , shanti is shown to be a highly successful captain of industry who earns the envy of her male rivals for her business acumen and for succeeding in the world of men . made the year after india ' s economic liberalization , it is optimistic in its postulate that with the market being freed , women will also be released from domesticity to help power the country ' s economic development . here mannan is progressive in suggesting that a woman could be a capable boss , which was still a rare development in south asia at that point in time .\nif anything , shanti\u2019s \u2018type a personality\u2019 appears to stem as much from her industrialist father\u2019s deep regret at not having a male heir ( as shanti\u2019s nanny remembers ) as it is from her competitiveness ( it is only after she takes over from her father that the business becomes india\u2019s best ) . we are told that her hotheadedness and self - righteousness also causes her to take umbrage at injustices , both personal and social . meena , shanti\u2019s father , and shanti\u2019s nanny , all point out similarities between krishna and shanti throughout the film . with many redeeming qualities , shanti seems designed to be a misunderstood anti - heroine set in not - so - diametric opposition to the tamil hero , whereas uma devi in gharana mogudu or sheetal jaitley in laadla , are caricatured as stock female villains .\naustralian folk duo luluc follows their breakout album passerby with a more ambitious sound that inspires reverence and awe on sculptor .\nan

[ full review in spanish ]\nmichel gondry merges the worlds of art and science by cleverly animating the innerworkings of noam chomsky\u2019s world - renowned mind . pushing beyond chomsky\u2019s acclaimed theories and opinions , he gives insight into the man behind the legacy . done in hand - drawn animation .\nmost of the film is framed in 4 : 3 . however , some sequences extend beyond this .\ncharlie hebdo is a satirical news magazine published weekly in france ; the magazine has a . . .\ndaily box office ( sun . ) | weekend box office ( jul . 6\u20138 ) | # 1 movie : ' ant - man and the wasp ' | showtimes\nwe are watching two very fascinating , very different minds interact , and the result is a bit inspiring .\non some topics , the pairing works beautifully . unsurprisingly , this is especially true when chomsky makes points by talking of fairy tales and magic transformations . when a child is told a story about a donkey that is turned into a stone by a spell , how does the child instinctively know that the stone is still in essence the donkey , not some unrelated object ? that ' s a question made for gondry ' s surrealism - friendly brain .\nwalk this way is taking you for a ride around europe . jump in !\ngondry chalks it up in other ways as well . discourse may be driving the narrative , but what we see on screen is a kaleidoscope of images . gondry uses a colorful neon - bright , hand - drawn , pulsating animation style to show us how he is processing the countless words he is hearing . it ' s as if the ideas , rather than gondry , are holding the chalk .\nwhat emerges from the chats and the drawings and the animation is an often - fascinating glimpse at both genius and the creative process ( itself a kind of genius , after all ) . if it sounds boring , it isn ' t . if it sounds weird , it is - but weird in a good way .\nnear the end , chomsky and gondry get into the specific way in which the structure of language impacts thought \u2014 it is what the mit professor has spent a lifetime exploring . it is mesmerizing to see those seven words structured , then restructured , chomsky explaining why we choose to place words where , how meaning shifts accordingly .\nfilmmakers discuss the tremendous impact of fran\u00e7ois truffaut ' s 1966 book hitchcock / truffaut , in which alfred hitchcock painstakingly detailed his directorial process . wes anderson , david fincher , richard linklater , and martin scorsese are among the a - list directors who pay homage to the legendary . . .\none of the pleasures of the movie , though , is that mr . gondry remains acutely tuned into these passages , which he addresses with a startling openness and a lack of directorial ego . this is a movie that celebrates the life of a great mind and makes a case for the mind that knows less but keeps on asking .\nthe caveat is both unconvincing and unnecessary . if anything , flooding the viewer ' s senses with so much stimulation - - drawings that not only illustrate the topic being discussed , but flash and spiral and decorate this imagery without pause - - presents challenges to digesting dense ideas that aren ' t present in the standard talking - head nonfiction film .

1970s , was possible . however , the film didn\u2019t find popularity until the title was switched back to black christmas . when the film was later released for television , the title switched again , this time to stranger in the house .\nlikewise , we don\u2019t watch the 1938 version of dickens\u2019s a christmas carol because films were better in the 1930s , but because this particular film is excellent .\nhalloween is over . christmas is near . a fitting time to explore an interesting link .\nthe second , related , category features christmas films about the waning of belief in a modern consumerist society , and the subsequent re -

start the american slasher movement that primarily dominated the 1980s . of course , most \u201980s slashers had way more in common with friday the 13th \u2013 released in 1980 \u2013 but the tropes of the sub -

goers to see . in some theaters , wreaths were hung up with black cardboard bows on them that read \u201c it\u2019s going to be a black christmas , \u201d and in other theaters , dummies were set up in rocking chairs and placed in the lobbies . the chairs , equipped with electric motors , rocked back and forth continuously throughout the day . the dummies had plastic bags over their heads , and the displays essentially brought the film\u2019s poster art to life .\nevery last detail is there : from the christmas trees , to the christmas lights , to the christmas carolers who sing at the front door , to the depiction of the extreme cold . black christmas , though frightening , is the most christmas - feeling film that i have yet seen . lewis jackson\u2019s you better watch out ( 1980 , aka christmas evil ) also does an admirable job of getting the christmas feeling right , but black christmas is simply the best . it\u2019s one of those films that was released under other titles . its original title , silent night , evil night , is rarely used now , at least here in the states . i think a lot of folks confuse it with silent night , deadly night ( 1984 ) , a truly tasteless take on christmas evil . it was shown on television about 30 years ago as stranger in the house ( not to be confused with wes craven\u2019s stranger in our house from 1978 , which was based upon the novel summer of fear which was released theatrically in europe under that title and also appears on the movie marquee in wes craven\u2019s deadly blessing , and jeff east is in both of those movies\u2026all right , sorry , getting carried away\u2026 )\ni ' m continuing my countdown to halloween covering scary , creepy and halloween -

wife ( jean seberg ) with calls that the police eventually trace to a room upstairs ( dialogue between the police inspector and seberg is almost identical to that between jess and sgt nash in this film ) . both likely set the precedent for this convention popularized by black christmas ( 1974 ) .\nrichard donner\u2019s lethal weapon ( 1987 ) is likewise set in los angeles during christmas , and perhaps the most memorable scene in the film is the introduction of cop on the edge martin riggs ( mel gibson ) as he breaks up a drug deal in a christmas tree lot .\nat the end of each year , there are websites that ask their readers to pick their favorite christmas film . the answers are fairly predictable : it\u2019s a wonderful life ( 1946 ) and miracle on 34 th street ( 1947 ) , and then there are some surprises like march of the wooden soldiers ( 1933 ) and the man in the santa claus suit ( 1979 ) . my own personal favorite is a seemingly odd choice : the late bob clark\u2019s masterful 1974 thriller black christmas . i consider this film to be one of the best horror films ever made . it is incredibly scary and at times wildly hilarious ( it should come as no surprise that mr . clark also directed porky\u2019s ( 1981 ) and a christmas story ( 1983 ) . i have never seen a thriller walk such a tightrope and manage to juggle both of these extreme emotions successfully . more than that , however , it\u2019s a film that gets christmas completely right .\nyou need black christmas , a canadian horror film made by director bob clark in 1974 on a shoestring budget ( about $ 700 , 000 ) , four whole years before halloween supposedly kicked off the slasher genre . set in a sorority house just before the students\u2019 year - end departure for the christmas holidays , the film concerns the escalating terror visited upon the sorority sisters by an unknown assailant who hides in their attic . over the course of a few nights , his terrifying anonymous phone calls grow more violent , girls start disappearing , and the police force , as well as parents and local community members , all get involved in trying to find the killer .\nin 1986 , olivia hussey met producers for the film roxanne ( 1987 ) , since they were interested in casting her for the title role . roxanne co -

fertile imagination of canadian writer roy moore . moore had gotten his creepy story \u2013 that of a stranger making bizarre phone calls to a sorority house \u2013 after reading about similar events which reportedly had taken place during a 12 - month period . moore\u2019s working script was initially titled the babysitter , which morphed into stop me , then silent night , evil night , and , ultimately , black christmas .\nafter several witless murders , john saxon , the film ' s unflustered , if perplexed , detective , cynically asks a dumb cop , \u201cdon ' t you think we ought to look into it ? \u201d considering the ersatz tension and plotting , \u201cblack christmas\u201d is hardly worth the efforts of all concerned .\nthe final credits include the message\ngoodbye , shirley ,\nin tribute to composer shirley walker , a frequent collaborator with director glen morgan . walker passed away in november 2006 , before\nblack christmas\n' release .\nboth one of the most stylish and most creepiest slashers out there\u2014not to mention the essential christmas slasher\u2014and what ' s more is it ' s one of the genre ' s best . black christmas is decked with holiday - horror cheer and slick scares , two things that the genre hasn ' t always got right , but here , it ' s pretty miraculous . bob clark is a magician and the way he crafts black christmas is another testament to why he was such a diverse director ( this dude really made porky ' s ii and a christmas story in the same year ) . with this one he tackles a psychological slasher , fit with great , relatable\u2026\nhorror doesn ' t settle for simple tuesday : one of many slasher films to take place on christmas .\nclassical hollywood cinema offers the most refined , and in many ways the most aesthetically pleasurable , christmas films .\nin 1986 , olivia hussey met producers for the film roxanne ( 1987 ) , since they were interested in casting her for the title role . roxanne co -

( its most famous product was game boy . ) research showed that more boys than girls were playing , which only reinforced the marketing strategies , which in turn reshaped the industry . to hook the adolescent - and - beyond segment , sex was introduced , at least in a theoretical way . women were depicted on game covers as panting onlookers . female protagonists , like lara croft , had builds that would give barbie a crisis of confidence . games like myst and the sims still had largely female playerships , but shooter games began to dominate the public conception of what a video game was .\nhowever , it is also possible that the lost ending to the battle of the bastards was simply the double envelopment by the cavalry , and that in the showrunners ' minds the thematic payoff came with the cooperation of the smaller northern houses .\none of the more frustrating storylines ( though not the most controversial ) of game of thrones season 5 was the dorne plot . despite the beautiful location\u2014it was largely shot in the alc\u00e1zar of seville \u2014 the elaborate costuming , and high - profile casting , scenes in dorne fell flat for many show watchers\u2014and downright irritated book readers , who expected more from the sand snakes , a . k . a . the daughters of the beloved oberyn martell .\nthe central kalahari game reserve is the second largest nature reserve in the world and probably the least visited in botswana . this vast wilderness area is possibly the remotest place you\u2019ll ever experience . to undertake such a journey , a sense of adventure is highly recommended , as well as a strong desire to be somewhere that other people are not .\nquinn is nearly done building a new game , crowdfunded with $ 85 , 000 of kickstarter contributions , to be released this fall . it\u2019s a satirical full - motion video project about the campy erotic - fiction icon chuck tingle ( known for titles like buttageddon ) . a team of around ten built the game , but according to john warren , her business partner on the project , quinn is responsible for the majority of the programming , in addition to writing the narrative . \u201ca lot of people are quick to assume she isn\u2019t the one doing the technical stuff , \u201d he says , in the same way \u201cwomen at e3 always get asked if they\u2019re in marketing . \u201d it\u2019s by far the most complex project she\u2019s made .\nherds of gemsbok , zebra , wildebeest , and ostriches congregated near the pans , and the occasional secretary bird and black - backed jackal stalked through the tall savanna grasses . most of this wildlife is also common in south african game reserves , but it was the feeling of complete isolation and total self reliance that made our trip through the kalahari a truly unforgettable experience .\nquinn ( who already had a magnet under the skin of her index finger , which she says allows her to \u201cfeel electromagnetic fields , like an additional sense , \u201d as well as pick up anything magnetic as a party trick ) originally installed the chip to promote a comedy video game she had begun building called it\u2019s not ok , cupid . the game was inspired by her attempt to meet someone on the dating website , and , like many of quinn\u2019s projects , it was high concept : set in a reality where people find love via an artificial intelligence , the game asks characters to scan a chip to verify that they are who they say they are . the joke , in part , is that authentication like that is unimaginable , really . \u201cyou\u2019d have to be totally honest online , \u201d she explains . and as everyone knows , the internet isn\u2019t built for accountability .\nby doing so , we were deprived of a unique situation . according to the players at the survivor game changers finale reunion last night , the vote would have ended at 5 - 5 for brad and tai , with troyzan then conferring with the jury to become the deciding vote . tai still wouldn\u2019t have won , but he could have been $ 90 , 000 richer .\nhe had hidden throughout the city . in the books , when jaime told brienne about the\nwhat happens with the sand snakes is . . . extreme . very extreme . so i\u2019m really curious to see how people take it . i don\u2019t know what else i can say ! episode 10 sets the rest of the show on a very certain path . it\u2019s a big move in game of thrones , and the sand snakes are a part of it .\none day in 2014 , the video - game designer zo\u00eb quinn decided to make herself a cyborg . and so , this being the modern world , she simply ordered a kit from the internet that would allow her , via a large sterilized syringe that she plunged into the webbing between her left thumb and index finger , to implant a microchip the size of a tic tac under her skin .\nwarren met quinn when he tried to hire her to work on a game ; he knew who she was from gamergate but had also played depression quest . he liked her ear for dialogue and facility with branching narratives . the rest of his team ultimately vetoed quinn\u2019s hiring \u2014 \u201cshe was an attention magnet in a way they weren\u2019t comfortable with , \u201d warren says \u2014 but quinn and warren kept talking and , eventually , she told him about fail state , a game she\u2019d been dreaming of making for a while .\nwith all these returning players gathered together after a season full of twists , everyone ( tai included ) opened up their hearts . tai reading his letter from mark the human ( his husband , not the chicken ) showed just how the game of survivor breaks you down , as tai was a day or two from seeing him once again .\nfor a while , quinn programmed the chip , which has a short - range radio transmitter that lets it send code to compatible devices , to do useful things , like call up a link to a game onto anyone\u2019s phone that she touched , or make a new friend\u2019s phone automatically text her contact information , which particularly came in handy at video - game conventions . but nowadays , she says , \u201ci like the idea of using cool cyberpunk stuff to tell really stupid jokes . \u201d the only script she currently runs on it pops up a notification window on the target phone that says , simply , \u201cdicks . \u201d\nhe really spoke up for himself at his elimination tribal council , and him being the last jury member to reach survivor ponderosa , the video is a lot more gameplay - centric than others . tai does lament about what could have been , but even in his advanced age , you could see him grow as a person from the feedback and the experience of survivor game changers .\n\u201cthe next thing suddenly people are inside the pitch and the players said \u2018coach\u201a you said people won\u2019t come on the pitch and now they are on the pitch . \u2019\nbarristan ii : the battle between the defenders of meereen and yunkai . the ironborn attack the slavers . a yunkai lord is killed .\nwhile planning for the battle , tormund expresses concern at facing ramsay ' s mounted cavalry , citing the wildlings ' encounter with stannis baratheon following the battle of castle black , where he essentially cut through mance rayder ' s army with little effort . though tormund states that he has seen what mounted knights can do , since stannis and davos\ncut through us like piss through snow\n, tormund was actually not present for that phase of the battle and did not witness stannis defeat the wildlings and arrest mance , as he had already been injured and taken into custody by the night ' s watch . it is possible that the surviving wildling prisoners told tormund about what happened . the battle of the bastards is the first time tormund himself faces mounted knights , as there were no horses at castle black or hardhome .\nwander into the haunted forest , see the riverlands , make a grand entrance at winterfell and more on this \u2018game of thrones\u2019 day trip from belfast . traveling by air -

motion has been used in game of thrones , when rickon stark is killed and jon ' s reaction . the only other rare times it was used were ned stark ' s execution in\nbaelor\n, the arrival of the tyrell and lannister reinforcements in\nblackwater\n, and ygritte ' s death in jon ' s arms in\nthe watchers on the wall\n. all of these episodes are ninth episodes in its seasons .\nfor a tiny island , malta offers the game of thrones production team a wide variety of landscapes to shoot in . the beautifully preserved medieval cities of mdina and valetta were used in the initial shoots of king\u2019s landing and the red keep before the filming was moved to croatia . then there\u2019s fort manoel which serves as sept of baelor , one of the holiest spots in all of westeros . this is also where joffrey and ned stark face off in season 1 . an iconic piece of malta\u2019s coast , the azure window , also featured in the series as the venue of daenerys\u2019 and khal drogo \u2019s wedding .\nthe game tells me that i\u2019ve achieved an egalitarian miracle -

tv show maker studios was trying to mount about indie game designers . quinn helped incite a rebellion on the first day of filming when , among other things , the producer asked a male competitor if he thought his team was at a disadvantage because there was a \u201cpretty woman\u201d on it . production shut down , costing maker studios hundreds of thousands of dollars . quinn also flew out to san francisco , with her then - boyfriend gjoni , to give a talk at a gaming conference about the harassment she\u2019d experienced .\nobara and nymeria\u2019s dead bodies were then ghoulishly displayed on the prow of the ship . ellaria and tyene survived the skirmish , but they are , doubtless , the gift euron promised cersei last week . ellaria , the woman who killed the queen\u2019s daughter , myrcella , and her only daughter , tyene , in the hands of a lannister ally ? surely this won\u2019t end well for them . \u201ckill us , get it over with , \u201d ellaria insisted . but the show may have something much nastier in mind . at least game of thrones stopped short of massacring ellaria and yara right on the spot . the fandom could not have weathered the controversy of two more gay women on tv dying immediately after a kiss .\nthis cheesy action film surprisingly features an all - star cast and some great scenic locations in eastern washington for a change . ice - t stars as jack mason , a homeless man who becomes conned into a deadly game of survival as he fights for his life from a band of ruthless killers who hunt drifters for sport . the town of wenatchee and the surrounding areas were used extensively for the film .\ngame of thrones season 7 may only have 7 episodes , but what it lacks in its usual amount of episodes it surely makes up in exciting , heart - drenching sequences and surprising revelations . arguments can be may on the ' style over substance ' sacrifice this season has made but there ' s no denying the sheer dramatic tour de force it brought making the series bigger and better today . 4 . 5 / 5\nthe ai also wanted to warn us humans about the dangers of mass surveillance .\nplease follow the instructions in the email within 48 hours to complete your registration .\nafter dinner , doc hawkins offers mason a full pack of cigarettes with a few of the cigarettes sticking out of the top of the packet holding the lid open by placing it on the table . in the next shot when doc hawkins pushes the packet closer to mason the packet is half empty with no cigarettes sticking out .\nproduction has jumped around since the filming of the first season , with ireland , iceland , malta and croatia serving as some of the main settings in the past .\nwhat better place to shoot an enormous , fictional wall of ice and the freezing lands beyond it than iceland ? the frozen landscapes are where constant - brooder jon snow and the night\u2019s watch , the wildlings and the white walkers spend a lot of their time . the lava stacks of dimmuborgir are where wildling leader mance rayder made camp . then there\u2019s the area around glacial lake myvatn and godafoss , or the waterfall of the gods , that served as the set for most of the scenes set north of the wall . the sv\u00ednafellsj\u00f6kull glacier in the vatnaj\u00f6kull national park was also used to shoot many scenes involving the night\u2019s watch .\nbut a verbal dressing - down is nothing compared to what happened to these women in season 7 . it feels as though the game of thrones show - runners would have preferred to pretend that the sand snakes and dorne never happened at all . but that would be hard to pull off , given how vital the region is in westeros . as recently as last year , martin released a new winds of winter chapter all about dornish politics .\na film that shines mostly for the interesting performances by the cast of character actors .\ncheck out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy , the predator , zoe , and the king of thieves .\nthe hunter becomes the hunted : once mason collects himself and starts thinking , he begins cutting down the hunters one by one .\nnote : the views expressed here are only those of the reviewer ( s ) .\nfor the first time on the show , two major battle sequences take place and come to a conclusion in the same episode .\niron fleet\n. the line of dialogue here is using the term loosely .\n\u201cthey ( the fans ) go inside the pitch and when their team does not score\u201a they go inside and stop the match .\nwith the death of wun wun , it ' s possible that the race of giants is now extinct . the hbo viewer ' s guide listed him as\nthe last of the giants\nin its recap for this episode . liam cunningham also states that wun wun as the last of the giants .\none of the most important locations in all of the seven kingdoms , the capital king\u2019s landing can be found in the medieval walled city of dubrovnik on croatia\u2019s dalmatian coast . the city\u2019s stone walls and well - preserved forts feature throughout the series . fort lovrijenac , located on steep cliffs outside the city walls , doubles up as the red keep , the royal residence in king\u2019s landing . there\u2019s also the trsteno arboretum which was used as the lush palace gardens for the shoot . another croatian coastal city , split , often features in the show . daenerys targaryen , she of dragon ancestry , plotted her comeback in the rooms of the kliss fort and the magnificent diocletian\u2019s palace , a unesco world heritage site . the fortress of kliss was the part of the slave city of meereen that daenerys frees on her road to building her army .\nwhen wolfe sr . is shooting at mason in the dark he empties the magazine of his semi - automatic . there are sounds of him pulling the trigger and the hammer falling on empty chambers as if the gun is empty but it can be seen that the slide is locked back and therefore the trigger would not be able to operate the hammer .\nduring the live q & a section at the game of thrones panel for san diego comic con 2016 , sophie turner was directly asked why sansa doesn ' t tell jon about the vale army . she bluntly admitted that she had no idea and the writers never told her , and she guessed it was just to set up the last minute rescue of jon by the vale army , in order to make it\nmore dramatically satisfying\nto build up the tension . benioff and weiss were also on the panel but announced at the beginning that they were too drunk to answer questions and didn ' t respond to any for the rest of it , nor did they intervene to provide an explanation to help turner in that moment . there is simply no in - universe reason why\nsansa\nthe fictional character didn ' t tell jon about the vale army .\ncorbyn\u2019s labour policies are theoretically more principled than may\u2019s . but conveniently , where may\u2019s conservatives had uncosted tax cuts in various forms , corbyn has costed $ 50bn of tax rises on corporations and the highest earners , and made them a priority . that gives him an advantage in this game , because i can implement them first and stabilise the economy in a way i couldn\u2019t with may , before i embark on his renationalisation programme and the increase in nhs and education funding .\nthe premise of fail state , a meta one , is that players find themselves inside an imaginary , multiplayer , web - enabled game that was so disastrously built and incoherent that its creators will shut it down soon \u2014 a dying world that , it turns out , players love anyway . it\u2019s a \u201cmicroapocalypse , \u201d in warren\u2019s words , in which \u201ceveryone is facing the end of this thing that\u2019s really important to them . \u201d\naccording to the released sample chapters , daenerys ' s loyalists and the ironborn seem to have the upper hand in the battle against yunkai . by the time the volantene fleet arrives , the battle may be decided in favor of daenerys ' s forces - in which case daenerys may return with her dragon to save both the unsullied and the ironborn ( we ' ll only know for sure when the next book is released ) . it ' s also possible the volantene fleet will simply give up and turn back after they arrive at meereen and see the large coalition now following daenerys ( similar to the second sons and the windblown ) .\n\u2013 whereas in the real world , the electoral system can amplify or mute your vote .\nthis is only the seventh episode in the tv series in which king ' s landing is not featured in any scene . the previous six were season 1 ' s\nthe kingsroad\n( because king robert and cersei were with the starks on the road and had not yet reached the city ) , season 3 ' s\nthe rains of castamere\n( which focused mostly on the red wedding ) , season 4 ' s\nthe watchers on the wall\n( which focused entirely on the battle of castle black ) , season 5 ' s\nkill the boy\n( which didn ' t feature any scene in the seven kingdoms not counting the north ) , and\nthe dance of dragons\n, and season 6 ' s\nthe door\n.\njack mason : [ aiming the gun at burns ] bang ! game over .

even though sansa never even met ramsay in the books .\nduring the melee sequence in the first phase of the battle , the camera follows jon snow around through the chaos of the battle in a tracking shot that lasts for an uninterrupted 60 seconds ( though there are a few split - second moments when horses run in front of the camera which may have been used to hide shifts between different takes ) .\nwhile jon refuses to bend the knee to dany , he agrees to relinquish his king in the north if she helps him fight the threat in the north . cersei , tyrion , jon , daenerys , jorah , varys , missandei , qyburn , euron greyjoy , the mountain and the hound come together at the dragon pit in king ' s landing , where jon has brought a living wight to unite the seven kingdoms against the night ' s king .\nas the conference draws nearer , we will have additional details on the exciting meaningfu play 2018 program .\nhas taken over the rest of the iron islands . this is a little more complicated in the books : the\niron fleet\nis the national fleet of the iron islands , sworn directly to the ruler of all the isles , but each of the major vassal houses have their own local fleets . the iron fleet in the novels , in fact , consists of about 100 ships at any given time , but they are the best ships and crews in the islands - three times the size of their normal raiding ships . when yara and theon fled with the ship captains loyal to them earlier this season , it was remarked that they\ntook our best ships\n. thus there are in fact only about 100 ships in the\niron fleet\nitself ( large and elite ships ) , but\nall the fleets in the iron islands\nnumber considerably more ships - though they are not considered to be part of\nsoon after doc hawkins is killed we see him in the background riding his atv with the rest of the group . a huge crowd of the production crew can also be seen in this very same shot .\nthis episode focuses on only two storylines : the north and meereen . the storylines involving bran north of the wall , arya stark , sam and gilly , dorne , the wall , king ' s landing , the riverlands , and the iron islands do not appear in this episode . yara and theon ' s story has now merged with daenerys ' s while the vale storyline has now merged with the northern arc .\nthe armies gather the following morning as ramsay brings out rickon . after menacingly raising a knife , he cuts rickon ' s bonds and tells him that they are to play a game . the only rule is to run towards his brother . as he does so , ramsay pulls out a bow and nocks an arrow , prompting jon to urgently ride out on horseback to try to save rickon as ramsay fires arrows at him . ramsay appears to have no intention of hitting rickon with his first shots but , just as jon approaches his brother , rickon is struck in the back with an arrow and killed . devastated and enraged over his brother ' s murder , jon charges at ramsay and the bolton forces alone . davos tells the stark cavalry to charge . the bolton archers fire at jon and strike his horse . with jon now defenseless in the middle of the battlefield , ramsay orders the bolton cavalry to charge at him .\nsansa was never shown successfully rallying any of the northern lords either . the glovers outright rejected them , and when they visited the mormonts , neither sansa nor jon succeeded in winning them over - only davos when he pointed out the threat of the white walkers . in the inside the episode featurette for that episode , the showrunners even focused on jon ' s interaction with lyanna mormont , not even mentioning sansa ' s presence .\nsansa didn ' t actually play any active role in the knights of the vale coming to defeat ramsay .\nalmost all of the scenes that are depicted in the\ncity\nare filmed within a two block area in downtown wenatchee , washington . the area filmed was in a two block perimeter of mission , orondo , palouse and columbia streets with the majority of the film scenes in the alley way behind the liberty theater off of mission st . this area also includes the infamous bruce hotel which is still there today ; however it has not been a hotel since the early 2000 ' s and is now bruce transitional housing for the homeless .\nshortly after getting to the remote site in the pacific northwest , mason discovers that the rest of the hunting party ( who paid handsomely to be there ) has one specific prey in mind to hunt , said to be the most challenging of all prey animals : man .\nthe alley off palouse street between wenatchee and mission behind the liberty theatre is where jack is seen at the beginning of the film . it is outside this alley where he witnesses his dog being hit by a taxi .\nliam cunningham and sophie turner are credited before aidan gillen and carice van houten respectively , as the former was credited after the latter when they last appeared together in\nthe door\nand the entirety of this season .\nsundowns have some injury problems to contend with and mosimane took his whole squad to morocco on monday in the hope that some of the players in the sickbay would recover while on the road in time to face wydad .\nin the backstory from the novels , there have been several naval battles in the past during which dragons were deployed against enemy ships - given that all ships in this medieval era are made of wood , and therefore flammable , these generally tended to be one - sided affairs . a single dragon can wipe out an entire fleet . during the targaryen conquest , visenya targaryen used vhagar to destroy the entire fleet of the vale on her own . the largest naval battle in the dance of the dragons , the battle of the gullet , involved a massive fleet sent by an alliance of the free cities against dragonstone , but two - thirds of the fleet was destroyed by a force of five dragons and their riders .\ntraditional tapestries tell tales of times gone by , and have embodied the history and heritage of cultures across the world from as far back as the 3rd century bc .\nkit harington is credited before emilia clarke when he was credited after her when they last appeared together in\nthe door\nand the entirety of the series before .\nsapochnik explained that basically the arc they envisioned for jon across season 6 was that he had his faith in humanity shattered by the mutiny and for the battle of the bastards to be a climactic rebirth when he rediscovers his desire to live - the literal\nrebirth\nshot when he crawls out of the pile of dying men .\nlikes his bowie knife . the way he comes into the cabin crouched low with it in hand is evocative of\nas jon brandishes longclaw and prepares to fight to the death , the stark cavalry smashes into the boltons , narrowly saving jon from being trampled . in the rear , davos belays his order to his archers to release arrows into the melee of infantry , as he announces that they would kill his men , engaged in close - quarter fighting , as well the enemy . he eventually sends the archers forward to be of more use in the middle of the battlefield . ramsay , however , has no such compunction ; he has twice the men to lose and little concern for killing his own . he repeatedly and purposefully orders arrow fusillades that kill all combatants in the middle of the field , apparently in an effort to create a strategic barrier of human death in the center of the battlefield .\ntyrion seems to note with some sympathy now that theon was an outsider amongst the starks - alluding to the fact that tyrion was always considered an outsider among the lannisters .\nwhile not a lot actually happened , this episode asked us to visualise the key alliances and enmities of the coming season . it cemented the idea suggested in trailers that daenerys , cersei and jon are the three rulers to watch .\nin the books , sansa remains in the vale , and is actively helping littlefinger politically manipulate the vale lords so she can eventually take control by marrying sweetrobin ' s cousin harry . in the tv version , sansa never did anything to\nmanipulate\nlittlefinger into sending the vale army :\nwhen quinn first reported the harassment to the police , they were confused , and wouldn\u2019t accept the usb drive she presented as evidence , so she printed the worst of the worst , 70 pages of it until the ink ran out . gjoni remained unapologetic . he told a journalist that he had written a sequel to the original post ( which hadn\u2019t mentioned the abortion ) and it was set to auto - publish if he didn\u2019t manually disable it within 24 hours after a court date \u2014 for instance , if he were jailed for violating the restraining order the police eventually granted quinn .\nwhen you ' re eating the flesh from the pig , look into his little beady eyes . . .\nant -

reaffirming the determination of many of them that they need to turn on the boltons . in the tv version no other lords of the north are present for ramsay ' s wedding , he marries sansa instead of jeyne , and the narrative is focused on sansa ' s personal revenge against ramsay .\nsapochnik said that\nthe strategy and tactical aspect was a key thing for david and dan . they wanted to specifically focus on that so that we could really see the way ramsay ensnares and outguns jon in the almost exactly the way the same way davos had planned to defeat the bolton army . i also did a bunch of research into alexander the great who was legendary in his strategic battle prowess ."]}

mouthed colloquial term regarding young job seekers or rookie employees struggling to survive in their jobs .\nfor a modern movie , 106 minute is not a long run time especially when the movie is not focused and has a lot of material to cover . this is the case for \u201cyou call it passion /\nin many ways , \u201cyou call it passion\u201d ( 2015 ) feels like 16 episode korean drama compressed into a 106 minute movie . since most 16 episode korean dramas have basically about 3 to 5 hours\u2019 worth of plot in them anyway with the rest padded out by filler , this is not a bad idea . however , fragments of the compression are felt lingering in \u201cyou call it passion\u201d ( 2015 ) and makes the movie feel like an awkward joining of 3 types of stories .\n\u201candy , be serious . you are not trying . you are whining \u2026you have no idea how many legends have walked these halls . and what ' s worse , you don ' t care . because this place , where so many people would die to work you only deign to work . and you want to know why she doesn ' t kiss you on the forehead and give you a gold star on your homework at the end of the day . wake up , sweetheart . \u201d\nhowever , trying to do a \u201cjournalism is awesome\u201d story in this setting is very tricky . even in a more serious setting , this type of story can easily become tacky . you need a serious degree of self - awareness to pull it off . sadly , \u201cyou call it passion\u201d ( 2015 ) doesn\u2019t have that . if it did , would they cast park bo - young as its heroine ?\nnot a great movie but if you ' re on a plane that ' s landing in an hour and 47 minutes you could do much worse . it kept me entertained , the ending was weird , and what more could you ask for really .\nwhat\u2019s wrong with spectre ( 2015 ) ? by a korean call . . .\nbuzzing comedies such as the spy who dumped me await you in our summer movie guide . check in for all the info you need .\nif i think about it , \u201cyou call it passion\u201d ( 2015 ) would have been much better if it was an outright satirical comedy . then i could have laughed with the rest of the audience at the end . since the movie was not , i was the weird person in my screening who was laughing at the movie while the movie was trying to be all serious .\ni like to talk about how a korean movie title gets converted into an english one . most of the time , it is totally a mess . in case of \u201cyou call it passion\u201d ( 2015 ) , the english title is more bizarre and nonsensical . i would bet a dollar that the persons in charge had terrible english skills . even though koreans spends billions in english education , what you get in return is lack luster .\nthe actress park bo - young is on a career high currently doing a \u201cjude law\u201d starring in 3 movies this year : collective invention ( 2015 ) , you call it passion ( 2015 ) , the silenced ( 2015 ) . this is in addition to the hit korean drama \u201coh my ghost\u201d ( tvn / 2015 ) .\nyou call it passion was inevitably going to become one of the hottest films of last year with the support of a brilliant cast . if you\u2019re familiar with korean cinema of the last decade , you\u2019ll recognise at least half of the faces on screen from equally popular films . along with its actors , you call it passion really hones in on the scrupulous fascination with celebrity news . k - pop fans will hear references to their favourite groups throughout the film , u - kiss being a prime example of untoward journalism in the build up of the story . it\u2019s a simple story with a fundamental moral message that ra - hee and her colleagues quickly grasp . the most interesting aspect is the growing relationship between the newbie intern and her mad dog boss . an unexpected comedy beckons from their chaotic relationship and the boss who bullies his sub - ordinates has finally met his match .\nfrom this trailer , you would expect that this movie is going to be a wacky comedy . \u201cyou call it passion\u201d ( 2015 ) is definitely not that ! i would even be hesitant to label it as a \u201cdramady\u201d because the movie is not even that humorous for most of its screen time . so , going into the movie , it was somewhat jarring to adjust my preconceptions about the movie initially . i would say it took about 10 minutes to fully adjust to what the movie was . the fact that the first section of the movie is rather rough and abrasive didn\u2019t help .\nwelcome back . just a moment while we sign you in to your goodreads account .\nthe third act is where the story turns into more of your standard scoop based reporter thriller where the heroine waves the now very familiar \u201cjournalism is awesome\u201d flag in front of helpless odds because of \u201cjournalism . \u201d you have seen these movies . the point to this type of story is to make journalism is still relevant by making the reporter the hero or in this movie\u2019s case the heroine of the story . it is relevance by proxy ! but does \u201cyou call it passion\u201d work in this vein . . ?\napparently , do would not have blown the scandal wide open if it were not for her\npassion\nto dissect the articles and dig into what could possibly be chief jang ' s setup to send woo to jail . although do scoffed at ha in the beginning of the movie for barking at her\nnothing is impossible with passion ,\nit turns out what ultimately saved do ' s journalistic career was her passion .\nby signing up for an account on tmdb , you can post directly to twitter and facebook .\nquite a surprise hit . you don ' t expect the depth of drama and character development from a comedy like this . it ' s not particularly deep but it ' s there , y ' know ? there ' s way more dramatic moments than comedy in this to classify as comedy anyway . not to say it ' s not funny , it definitely has its moments . it maybe gets a bit too dramatic towards the end but overall an enjoyable movie .\nyou need to be logged in to continue . click here to login or here to sign up .\nthe most accurate description of \u201cyou call it passion\u201d ( 2015 ) i could give is that it is somewhat of a \u201cwork place slice of life\u201d story . korean dramas such \u201cmisaeng\u201d ( 2015 ) may give you some indication of what kind of story this movie is trying to tell . both have young newcomers as protagonists come into a new working environment and struggle to find a place . both populate these work places with varied characters also trying to do their best at their jobs . the emphasis on the \u201cjob\u201d is at the core of the story in both the movie and the drama .\nunlike \u201cup close and personal\u201d ( 1996 ) where the two leads become a couple in addition to becoming mentor and mentee , \u201cyou call it passion\u201d ( 2015 ) doesn\u2019t have a vast age difference couple . and i\u2019m somewhat conflicted on this . on one hand , it would be creepy . on the other , it would be something more concrete about their relationship . the movie does not really show the two people interacting and bonding enough to justify the development of the heroine as a journalist later in the movie and why he would support her crazy rouge activities .\nthis week we\u2019re watching you call it passion adapted from novel \u201cyeoljung gateun sori hago itne\u201d by lee hye -

young /\nin the second act , \u201cyou call it passion\u201d ( 2015 ) becomes more of a focused \u201cslice of life\u201d type of story . saying focused to describe a \u201cslice of life\u201d is a bit weird i know . our heroine has somewhat acclimated to her surroundings at this point and we get to see the other characters and how they are coping with the changing landscape of the news game . while our heroine is still the entry point for the audience into the story , the story is not all about her .\n\u201cwhat you call passion is not a spiritual force , but friction between the soul and the outside world . where passion dominates , that does not signify the presence of greater desire and ambition , but rather the misdirection of these qualities toward and isolated and false goal , with a consequent tension and sultriness in the atmosphere . those who direct the maximum force of their desires toward the center , toward true being , toward perfection , seem quieter than the passionate souls because the flame of their fervor cannot always be seen . in argument , for example , they will not shout or wave their arms . but , i assure you , they are nevertheless , burning with subdued fires . \u201d\n\u201d ( 2015 ) far better if it focused on being one thing rather than trying to tell 3 different types of stories . it could have been a funny work place comedy . it could have been an insightful slice of life drama . it could have been a focused message movie . combining all of these is really difficult and the movie wasn\u2019t successful at this attempt .\nplease use these links when you sign up for a class or buy something from # yesasia . i get a small referral fee .\nin most \u201cjournalism is awesome\u201d stories , it would be the serious news departments that are under the axe . this is no different in korea although the serious news here is also so gossipy and politically salacious that sometimes it is difficult to tell the difference . it feels like the creators changed the setting of a \u201cjournalism is awesome\u201d story to the entertainment news department in order the increase the gimmick factor without considering the implications to the story . however , if you are familiar with korean dramas , you will know that korean story telling runs on gimmicks as its core tends to be hollow .\n\u201c ( 2014 ) starring park hae - il is also one of those movies which prove people are just sheep doing whatever the media tells them to do . as this movie comes to mind , i would have to say that there is one major thing to differentiate the two movies . \u201cyou call it passion\u201d ( 2015 ) is not a left wing skewed movie at all which is odd since most mainstream korean movies are . this is more so for journalism movies . yes , the evil business woman is the villain but i do not think that the movie put more thought into this than basically following genre clich\u00e9s . it is sad that this fact actually makes this movie somewhat refreshing .\nra - hee ( played by park bo - young ) is a rookie reporter in the entertainment press . jae - gwan ( played by jung jae - young ) is her exceptionally tough editor , constantly barking orders at ra - hee to make sure she gets the job done right . together , they do important investigative journalism . . . about celebrities . yes , the stakes in\nyou call it passion\nare relatively low , and the eventual movement of the plot toward an expos\u00e9 about a false accusation doesn ' t really do much to up the ante , . . .\nin terms of the third act , it is sad to say that it is the most complete and least interesting part of this movie . it is your clich\u00e9 anti - business plot line with the business man or in this case woman being the villain that is not only oppressing the poor \u201cfamous and wet blanket\u201d idol guy but also challenges the integrity of journalism .\nsummoned by an unexpected phone call , an elderly woman visits the country cottage she lived in as a child . memories of an orphan boy she knew 47 years ago come flooding back to her .\na list of all the films i have seen from south korea . with such an amount of films it doesn ' t\u2026\nas an actress , park bo - young is an interesting case . first , she looks like a high schooler at best even though she is 25 years old . second , she can do cute and lovable . third she has decent comedic timing . however , in her recent career , she is trying to be somewhat edgy or raunchy more in the tone of what jun ji - hyun does . her performances in \u201ccollective invention\u201d ( 2015 ) , \u201cyou call it passion\u201d ( 2015 ) , and even the \u201coh my ghost\u201d ( tvn / 2015 ) are examples . this creates a weird portrayal of her characters by combining adorable sweetness with more edge . it is something similar to what melissa rauch of \u201cthe big bang theory\u201d ( 2007 - ) or alyson hannigan of \u201chow i met your mother\u201d ( 2005 - 2014 ) do .\nformerly known as\nthe cry of passion\non hancinema synopsis a movie based on the original novel by lee hye - rin about a sports reporter who struggles to survive in the war of entertainment news . source\nafter all , the lighting in the movie is so saturated with light like it was set in either a beauty parlor or an apple store .\nso , having this character be the \u201ci\u2019m resolute in my convictions regarding journalism\u201d heroine is just off putting as she has only been in the job like a month at most . this is one of those movies in which the progression of time is difficult to measure as it is compressed and tries to hide it .\nbefore i conclude this long review , i would have to say the person who lit this movie should be fired . it is lit too brightly ! this hurts the\noverall , the movie was not unwatchable especially during its middle parts . i have no need to watch it again though . so , i think b -

righteously , those aspects get hidden under that bed but we can still see them poking out a bit .\nit is just a joke with low stakes like what the entertainment news is to journalism . if the so called victim was more of a sympathetic character , it would have worked better but alas he is nothing more than a cameo played by a very bland and poor actor . this just makes the triumphant ending of this movie rather ridiculous and overblown .\nwith the ever - high unemployment rate , some korean companies have made headlines hiring young adults who are willing to work without pay . the companies then reward them with\npassion pay\n- - nothing close to severance pay or similar , but literally nothing - - and take those passionate , willing employees for granted while criticizing other job seekers for not being passionate enough . it has aroused the ire of many young adults who thought the judgment was unfair .\nthe most important relationship in the movie is between our heroine and her mad dog of a boss . while it starts out as an \u201candrea sachs and miranda priestly\u201d of \u201cthe devil wears prada\u201d ( 2006 ) relationship , the relationship becomes less arm\u2019s length as her boss becomes more dependent on the heroine . it ends up being somewhat of a mentor / mentee relationship . it reminded me of another \u201cjournalism is great\u201d movie called \u201cup close and personal\u201d ( 1996 ) starring robert redford and michelle pfeiffer . if anyone actually remembers that movie , they would have a question looming over their minds .\nra -

hee a young girl ( whose name appears to mean wacko ) first job out of school as a paid intern for a newspaper to becoming a reporter . it ' s simple and at times contrived but oddly entertaining . i think much credit goes to the cast for making it work .\nthe term carries sarcastic rhetoric towards the age group , ranging from millennials to 30 - somethings , that downplays their working conditions while demanding they be more passionate about what they want to do . the term reads as if passion is the silver bullet for unhappiness and despair currently shared by tens of thousands of unemployed young korean adults or those at the lowest ranks in their career hierarchy .\nwith park bo - young , i cannot say that she pulls it off . she is by no way terrible but what she is doing doesn\u2019t land all the way making her feel more like a lost and confused girl when she tries too hard . so , having her be the heroine in a message movie about waving the \u201cjournalism is awesome\u201d flag in front of daunting odds doesn\u2019t really work . the movie itself doesn\u2019t really help as she barely has any understanding of \u201cjournalism\u201d even though it is stated that she graduated from journalism program .\nbo - yeong park has some charm but\njournalism hooaah\nmessage falls flat , and the story that pushes it isn ' t interesting . the film feels like an assembled - by - committee project to hit all the right notes but misses on most every one .\n\u201d ( 2015 ) . many of the elements of this movie never get properly developed after being introduced . with the first act and the whole getting used to the job plotline , our heroine just stumbles along as you expect someone with no experience and no proper training when put in the deep end would act like . this is then wrapped up rather hastily through coincidence and plot convenience .\nhow terrible at running a newspaper one can be that the entertainment news department is not making any money ? the only reason newspapers have entertainment news departments is that they make money from basically being gossip rags . i know that print media is dying . it is worse in korea i think . but still\u2026\nterence davies read six biographies of emily dickinson prior to making the film and he believes that she is a genius . cynthia nixon also read a lot of biographies of emily dickinson in order to get into the role and she detected contradictions , but she found it interesting because she had the chance to choose her favorite versions .\njust watched the movie last night . as expected , park boyoung - eonni never disappoint me . the story simple , yet fun to watch because i get so many things about work life . also , it shows us the reality of entertainment industry . good job , boyoung - eonni : ) i enjoy the movie ( y )\ndoctor tambourri , the regimental doctor is caring for a special patient , fosca , the cousin of the garrison commander . fosca is a recluse , clad in black and seeking seclusion in her reading which is her only passion . in this remote outpost there is , however , a shortage of books and giorgio lends her some of his books , amongst them being books of poetry . giorgio is somewhat a dreamer but fosca craves intellectual stimulus , and though frail and with an illness that manifests itself in hysterical convulsions , she clings to giorgio .\nin the first act of the movie , the movie comes off as something of a \u201cthe devil wears prada\u201d ( 2006 ) without the fashion . it is the story of an outsider coming into a new job without serious dedication and floundering about under iron fist of an inconsiderate and demanding boss . the korean title of this movie can be viewed in this vein .\nthe integrity of journalism is still relevant and important ! this is the other main message of the movie . but why is traditional journalism relevant in the age of the internet ? is it the search for truth ? well truth is relative and everyone is in search for truth in their own way . the heart of journalism its religious attention to proof and fact checking . without those , reporters are basically bloggers with a business account . well , now a days , they don\u2019t even have that .\n\u201d ( 2015 ) tries to do a lot but does all of them just mediocrely . the direction is not bad albeit rather dull especially in the beginning . the performances are decent throughout albeit somewhat scattered . while i talked negatively about the casting of park bo - young , she is not the weakest link in the cast . in fact , i would say that this movie shows that park bo - young has screen presence . it is just that she hasn\u2019t found the perfect role for herself yet .\nas a newbie to this world of chasing after celebrities and digging through their garbage , our heroine has to find a way to survive not only the industry but also her boss , the mad dog . she also needs to live her life , pay her bills , and play house with her boyfriend . it is basically a slice of life at the workplace type of story . and yes , there is an overall scheme too trying to tie everything together . where would the heroine place her soap box after all ?\nthis is part because there is not enough time and part because the movie has characters that seem to be leftovers from previous drafts of the story . the movie has a subplot about the batch of interns that came in with our heroine who were assigned to different departments . every so often , the group tends to gather to bitch about their jobs . this subplot has no purpose in the overall narrative and is awkwardly handled but takes up valuable time . while there is a romantic relationship in the movie , it is one of those vestigial subplots .\ncolonel ricci tells giorgio about fosca ' s marriage to a worthless count . it was as a result of his profligate ways that made her ill and left her penniless . giorgio goes walking and fosca follows him . there is a rainstorm and this affects fosca so much that she faints and has to be carried back to camp by giorgio . he too falls ill and is granted sick leave to recuperate in milan . fosca follows him to the train which will take him away from her . he begs her to give him up and return to the camp where she can receive medical attention .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nthis site javascript must operate are available for your convenience . currently the script does not work properly .\nany copying , republication or redistribution of kofic ' s content is prohibited without prior consent of kofic .\npark bo -

hee as she takes on the biggest story in years . her first assignment is to investigate sexual assault claims on a young , upcoming actor .\n\u201d ( 2015 ) does this . here is my trailer talk episode about this movie .\nas the heroine and setting the movie at an entertainment news division of a failing print newspaper . i\u2019ll go over these elements in detail later . but first , the important stuff !\nconsidering this , the english title just comes off as odd . now let\u2019s talk about plot .\na group of newly appointed interns at a 3 rd rate print newspaper get assigned to their departments . our heroine , who is just out of college , gets assigned to the entertainment news division led be a mad dog of an editor . he wants juicy scoops as he is basically in the gossip game but still wants the writing done well with all the is dotted and ts crossed . considering he really has no life and tons of stress , he tends to abuse his subordinates even though he is weighted down with the responsible for them and their livelihood in the age of newspapers going down the toilet .\nthere are interesting bits to having the entertainment news department as a setting . the inherent silliness to the gossipy nature of the profession and just the name dropping of well - known actors by characters also played by actors tend to be amusing . what can i say more ?\nif the supporting characters did a good job mentoring her , the whole \u201cjoan of arc\u201d of journalism could have worked . but , there was no time for that and the other characters are rather fuzzy on the matter of journalistic integrity as they are only a few footsteps separated from being paparazzi .\nconsidering the movie is at a serious disadvantage in regards to delivering a serious message by the choice of setting and heroine , the case that the heroine puts her soap box on becomes important . give me some good life or death stuff ! sick kids with evil international corporations is always a clich\u00e9 but good choice . \u201cerin brockovich\u201d ( 2000 ) is a good examples of this .\nequivalent to this fictional case would be the ruckus surrounding the actress / model clara this year who starred in \u201ccasa amor : exclusive for ladies\u201d ( 2015 ) . and , compared to her fictional counterparts , i would have to give credit to clara for having \u201cballs\u201d and willing to fight dirty .\nthe male idol in this movie is just a pathetic push over making a bigger mess out of the situation that should have just been fought out by lawyers and solved rather quickly . our heroine comes to his rescue and just made the situation bigger which is not what a celebrity wants . in other words , this case is rather a lightweight foundation to plant our \u201cjournalism\u201d banner .\nwhile i do find the ending of the movie unintentionally funny because we have little park bo - young figuratively waving an oversized banner on top of a lame case , what is more amusing is that the manner in way the story is concluded basically contradicts the message of the movie .\nimmersiveness of the movie which is already seriously hamstrung by a very clucky way of introducing the characters . this is not a movie to just throw the audience in midway through the beginning . also the sound mixing is not great .\ni was planning on watching oh my ghostess . . . but your description of her acting is making me have second thoughts .\ni ' m prof . akia and i talk about # korean # dramas and # movies ! . . . email : akoreaninamerica @ urltoken\nk -

days on stage , and this year , i\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdm spending it releasing my single , drifter . so i guess that says a lot about who\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds the love of my life - music . \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd an out - and - out romantic song , andrea has written the song and it features uk based - singer arjun coomarasamy on male vocals . \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwe shot the video in london and i\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdm really excited about the song and video . i promised myself that 2016 would be about the songwriter / singer in me and this single is my way of getting started , \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd says an excited andrea . a romantic herself , we wonder what her favourite \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdlove -

the - top youtube and social media sensation whose facebook profile describes him as an entertainer . the movie\u2019s title \u2014\nalmost no one builds a ghost gun from scratch , and i didn\u2019t either . the shortest path to building an untraceable ar - 15 requires only that you build one relatively simple component yourself , a part that\u2019s become the focus of a fierce gun control controversy : the lower receiver .\nmy rifle performed perfectly for the rest of the morning . after our video team fired the rest of the 40 rounds i\u2019d brought , rynder walked over to the neighboring range and convinced the friendly local swat team members practicing there to give us another 60 rounds . we shot those too . the gun didn\u2019t misfire again .\nit\u2019s worth noting that buying an ar - 15 in the us isn\u2019t hard . but the privacy - minded\u2014as well as those disqualified from gun purchases by criminal records or mental illness\u2014can make their own lower receiver and purchase all of the other parts , which are subject to nearly zero regulation . i ordered every part of my ar - 15 but the lower receiver from the website of ares armor , a southern california gun seller that doesn\u2019t require any personal information beyond a shipping address . if i wanted to hide my purchases from my credit card company , i could have paid in bitcoin\u2014ares accepts it .\nbut wilson soon came up with a better plan and sent me a new file that rehearsed only the last portion of the ar - 15 cutting process . twenty minutes later i pulled from the machine the shining , perfect body of a semiautomatic rifle , as warm as if it were some baked good fresh from the oven .\nfortunately , there are a lot of people who want range 15 to succeed . on day seven , the film\u2019s biggest and most expensive prop , a 21\u20442 - ton m35 cargo truck ( or \u201cdeuce and a half\u201d ) , ran out of juice . filming would have to be delayed for three days until a set of military - grade jumper cables arrived by fedex . instead , palmisciano posted an sos on facebook . within two hours , a group of marines arrived on set with a pair of cables they had smuggled off their base more than 100 miles away . \u201ci\u2019m not going to say their names because they could get in trouble , \u201d palmisciano says . \u201cbut they saved our asses . \u201d\nbest getting mocked and spat on for his service by a pair of clean -

whisker plot . one method , which is implemented in some computer programs , is to extend the whiskers only to points that are 1 . 5 times the interquartile range below the first quartile or above the third quartile , and to show remaining points as dots , so that the number of outlying points is shown .\nno kickstarter has surfaced yet , however , he\u2019s just launched a website\u2014 shatner\u2019s water \u2014to act as a kind of brain dump for solutions . current ideas range from a dude who wants to ship water across the state in maglev trains to a rep from indiegogo begging shatner to bring this project to their platform for crowdfunding ( sure , he said kickstarter but he didn\u2019t mean it ) .\na more robust approach is to divide the distribution of the data into four , and find the points below which are 25 % , 50 % and 75 % of the distribution . these are known as quartiles , and the median is the second quartile . the variation of the data can be summarised in the interquartile range , the distance between the first and third quartile . with small data sets and if the sample size is not divisible by four , it may not be possible to divide the data set into exact quarters , and there are a variety of proposed methods to estimate the quartiles . a simple , consistent method is to find the points midway between each end of the range and the median . thus , from figure 1 . 2 , there are eight points between and including the smallest , 0 . 1 , and the median , 1 . 5 . thus the mid point lies between 0 . 8 and 1 . 1 , or 0 . 95 . this is the first quartile . similarly the third quartile is mid way between 1 . 9 and 2 . 0 , or 1 . 95 . thus , the interquartile range is 0 . 95 to 1 . 95 .\nand stars weren\u2019t the only ones attracted to this oddball mix of military verisimilitude and over -

related creations , began forming drinkin\u2019 bros groups , both by region and by interest . taylor estimated about 35 , 000 members make up hundreds of groups that not only provide a virtual and real - world veterans community , but have raised about $ 200 , 000 in less than a year for various charitable causes .\nit ' s giving the military something they can own themselves ,\njarred taylor , article 15 ' s chief marketing officer and a former air force staff sergeant , said of the project .\nall cops have ' super troopers , ' and they hold that so close to them because of the inside jokes about being cops . . . . we wanted to bring that to the military .\nforty minutes later , two cops emerged from a door and asked what i was doing there . i explained and showed them the three lower receivers . they examined them with expressions that were simultaneously quizzical and bored . i asked them if it was common to see ar - 15 lower receivers like these : homemade , with no serial numbers . \u201ci\u2019ve never seen this before , \u201d one of them said .\nit\u2019s clearly possible , based on youtube evidence , to 3 - d - print ar - 15 lower receivers that are capable of firing hundreds of rounds . but mine wasn\u2019t so practical ; i wouldn\u2019t know it until i visited a gunsmith two days later , but i\u2019d eventually give up on assembling a gun out of that plastic - printed lower receiver long before it was anywhere close to a becoming a functional weapon .\n\u201cthe veteran and supporting law enforcement communities are super powerful and very engaging , \u201d best said . \u201ceveryone was kind of overwhelmed with wanting it to happen because no one had ever decided to make an independent film in the military veteran space . \u201d article 15 contributed additional financing to the film , as did fellow military apparel and lifestyle company ranger up . the film\u2019s title comes from a combination of the two businesses .\nthe movie\u2019s fundraising success is in no small part due to individuals like best , who has more than 587 , 000 followers on facebook and regularly publishes irreverent videos with himself as the star . he runs article 15 , a veteran - themed t - shirt company . another entrepreneur and army veteran , nick palmisciano , also figures prominently in the movie\u2019s production and fund - raising , and runs the ranger up clothing company .\nit ' s still hard to believe martin scorsese is producing a joker movie . but that ' s the truth , the dc villain and batman nemesis will get an origin story directed by the hangover helmer todd phillips and overseen by the master of the modern gangster movie . last we heard , the standalone non -

15 file and cutting into my 80 percent - lower receiver , my only interaction with the software was clicking \u201cnext\u201d through a 22 - step set of instructions and then doing things to the aluminum part that the software told me to do .\nmy ghost gunner\u2013milled ar - 15 body , by contrast , got a stoic nod of approval . rynder\u2014who , allow me to stress , makes guns for a living\u2014wasn\u2019t exactly wowed that i\u2019d produced a functional , essentially flawless lower receiver . but he gave me the go - ahead to build it into a full rifle . \u201cit\u2019s safe to assemble , safe to fire , \u201d he said . \u201cyes , you could put this together and it would be ready to go . \u201d\nto find the median ( or mid point ) we need to identify the point which has the property that half the data are greater than it , and half the data are less than it . for 15 points , the mid point is clearly the eighth largest , so that seven points are less than the median , and seven points are greater than it . this is easily obtained from figure 1 . 2 by counting the eighth leaf , which is 1 . 5 .\nbilled as the first film to be produced by and star primarily u . s . military veterans , the movie claimed the best film award at the gi film festival last month and has already generated more than $ 500 , 000 in its first week at the box office , showing on more than 550 screens through the crowdsourcing company tugg , which lets individuals choose a film they want to pay to see in theaters . the film first hit theaters on wednesday , june 15 .\n\u201cmy buddies over at article 15 and ranger up are trying to make the most premier \u2026 gun -

who co - wrote the original\u2019s screenplay with brent maddock - stayed on for the sequels in various capacities , either writing or directing , until the fifth instalment . his continuing involvement brings an innate authenticity and charm to tremors 2 - 4 that they may not have had in other hands . you can practically hear the conversations taking place behind the camera while you\u2019re watching \u2013 \u201cyeah , but that\u2019s not canon in the tremors - verse\u201d , \u201cburt would never say that\u201d \u2013 so , however small the budget and restrictive the special effects might be , you never feel far removed from the original\u2019s atmosphere .\nthere are few working punt guns in existence so the one used in tremors 4 was custom built for the show . it had a two inch bore which according to the gun barrel proof act of 1868 is calcified as an , \u201ca gauge\u201d , the largest size on record . prop master bill davis had our gun designed around a real h & r 12 gage shotgun . the entire trigger assembly of the punt gun dropped down to allow the loading of the internal shotgun with triple load 12 gauge black powder blanks . this design made the gun much simpler and safer to use on the set than a real muzzle loader . the total weight of the gun is 94 pounds and the overall length is 8 feet 4 inches . for more authenticity , wd -

pressed to find someone who hates tremors . in fact , while i was watching these sequels i ran a quick poll online asking people to choose their favourite 90s monster movie and tremors won in an absolute landslide \u2013 leaving even the much - beloved gremlins 2 in the dust .\nthis fourth installment in the tremors series was released straight to video and dvd , and first premiered on the sci - fi network . the second and third installments were also released straight to video and dvd .\nplot is set in the 1800s , and they still never tell us where these things came from . another ' tremors ' movie that nobody asked for .\ngreat transfer epecially the sound , and an interesting bunch of extras . best of all though is that this film comes with the original tremors disc for free , making it unbeatable value .\npicking up the dvd of the fourth film in the tremors franchise , i actually found myself staring agape at the front cover . yes , in this film we\u2019re going back to the future ( 3 ) and catching up with perfection\u2019s original settlers and mine workers in a prequel .\nthe film , which was originally supposed to be filmed in australia on a $ 17 million budget , saw its budget slashed to just $ 4 million after the studio lost interest and cast and crew took massive pay cuts to bring the resulting footage straight to dvd .\na prequel to tremors ( 1990 ) , this movie tells us about how the town of perfection , nevada became founded and how they defended it against the graboids with the help of burt gummer ' s ancestor , hiram .\na prequel to tremors ( 1990 ) , this movie tells us about how the town of perfection , nevada became founded and how they defended it against the graboids with the help of burt gummer ' s ancestor , hiram .\nall in all , the second film is a fairly disappointing follow up to the original , but it does a decent job of continuing the tremors mythology . we now know that the graboids are evolving and aren\u2019t endemic to perfection , which gives the franchise free rein to change the location up whenever the script calls for it , but the initial response can\u2019t have been overly positive because the third film is called . . . .\ngun maker christian sharps patented the basic design for the sharps pepperbox in 1859 . it used 4 barrels arranged in a square pattern . the barrels slid forward on the frame for loading and were then locked into place for firing . the gun is unusual in that the barrels did not rotate . instead , the firing pin on the hammer face was rotates by the use of a pawl on the side of the hammer , firing a different barrel each time the gun is cocked . . this design was somewhat more reliable than conventional revolvers of the era and gave rise to many imitations . hiram fires the smallest sharps , a . 22 caliber , in the muling station sequence .\na prequel to tremors ( 1990 ) , this movie tells us about how the town of perfection , nevada became founded and how they defended it against the graboids with the help of burt gummer ' s . . . see more \u00bb\nmichael gross is back to play his own great - grandfather , hiram gummer , and the main joke in play is that he is nothing like his great - grandson . hiram is incredibly prim and proper - not to mention manipulative and careless - and doesn\u2019t even know how to fire a gun . the character\u2019s arc , whilst inevitably helping the poor residents of perfection to fend off some original graboids , is purely to get to the final scene where he enjoys target practice with an old school gatling gun . i honestly didn\u2019t think the gun stuff could get any weirder , but s . s . wilson , who bowed out of the franchise after directing the legend begins , had to go and surprise me .\nnaturally , we ' ll update this article when tremors 6 turns up . in the meantime , i ' m watching all the bring it on sequels next . expect that article in due course . . .\nit really comes across like the studio said \u201cok , we\u2019ll sign off on another tremors sequel , if you sharknado it up a little\u201d and if your response to that is \u201cwell , i love the sharknado films actually\u201d then tremors 5 ( and 6 ) could be exactly what you\u2019re after , but if you find the charm of the first four films in any way endearing , they might leave a bitter taste in your mouth .\nwhen hiram was sending the telegraph he said to send the message to the denver post . the movie is based in 1889 and the denver post was not founded until 1892 .\nbrent maddock , the co - writer of the first two films , directs this third instalment of the tremors franchise , which sees a return to the small mining settlement of perfection , nevada . the tiny town has become a kind of crap tourist trap celebrating the events of the first film , and even though it\u2019s been 11 years since the last sighting of a graboid , that\u2019s \u201cno reason to lower your guard , \u201d says burt gummer - who is very much now the star of the show .\na great deal of effort went into selecting the correct weapons for the people of rejection nevada to use in their 1889 struggle against dirt dragons . in making one of the few monster movie westerns we had a unique opportunity to showcase the legendary weapons of the old west in a new and exciting way . we went for historical accuracy and you\u2019ll see it followed through when you play our exciting tremors 4 game dirt dragons . we made every effort to correctly represent the actual effective ranges and reload times of the weapons so you can really get a feel for what it would be like to face off against dirt dragons in the old west .\nin 1860 winchester plant superintendent benjamin tyler henry patented this lever - action rifle which used self - contained metallic cartridges of his design . the tubular magazine mounted under the 24 inch barrel held fifteen cartridges but if a round was chambered before loading the magazine the henry held 16 rounds and was aptly referred to with its common nickname of \u201csixteen - shooter\u201d . in practiced hands the henry could fire one shot per second because working the lever loaded a fresh cartridge and cocked the rifle in one operation . the henry was viewed as being difficult to load under battle conditions and susceptible to chambering problems when dirt got into the mechanism . if the user needed more than 15 shots quickly , other weapons were often recommended . in tremors 4 christine uses this weapon in the final battle .\nwhen hiram was sending the telegraph he said to send the message to the denver post . the movie is based in 1889 and the denver post was not founded until 1892 . see more \u00bb\nmarket waterfowling quickly depleted bird populations in the united states and many states banned the practice by the late 1860\u2019s . public outcry and the persistence of the audubon society led to the ratification of the lacey act in 1889 which prohibited the shipment of wild game or feathers across state lines . the federal government eventually stepped in with another series of laws to completely outlaw market hunting in 1918 .\nthis is one of the worst films that i have ever seen . it does not even come close to the class of the 3rd one , never mind the 1st .\nthe graboid is reeled in and slammed against the engine with such force that its head is crushed on impact . with the creatures dead , the town decides to keep the creatures secret out of fear no one would settle in the area if it was known and use the proceeds from the mine to pay for things for the people of the town , proper walls for the market and hotel and a statue of tecopa ( who claimed the cigar store indian that stood in front of the hotel was a statue of him ) . hiram settles in rejection ( renamed perfection ) , building his home in the same place burt gummer builds his house .\ntremors fans will be in seventh heaven as they get to play spot the characters ancestors , and the series catch phrases . it ' s all here , from old fred , to the wooden indian . this doesn ' t mean there isn ' t much for those new to the series , as after an initially slow start there is plenty crackingly funny giant worm shenanigans to entertain anyone . this must be due to the fact that it is penned once again by steve wilson and brent maddock ( with the now customary help of nancy roberts ) . it is this continuity of backroom talent that has ensured that unlike many film series tremors has maintained such high standards .\nthis handgun was first issued to the u . s . cavalry in 1873 with a 7 . 5\u2033 barrel chambered for a 45 caliber cartage . the civilian version of the weapon was released in the mid 1870\u2019s as the peacemaker and quickly became the sidearm of choice in the west . the cylinder held six rounds but one chamber was typically left empty because there was no safety . if the gun were dropped , or anything ( like a tree branch ) accidentally struck the hammer , the pistol easily could go off , even in its holster ! leaving an empty chamber under the hammer was the safest alternative .\nwe live around the lone pine area where some of the film was shot in the alabama hills . the line pine film history museum still has a tremors display to date which my girlfriend and i visited not long back . very fitting seeing as how both of us are tremors movie fans . the museum in lone pine also gives tours of filming locations that you will recognize from the movie . if your on vacation through this area take a stop in . neither of us where disappointed even though we maybe be bias toward loving the films . there is so much more to the museum and my only regret is that i didn ' t have time to go through and read as much as i would have liked on the movies that where filmed out here . this is why i have a plan to go back and visit .\nthe town readies itself for a final showdown with the graboids . hiram uses a punt gun to blow a hole in one of the graboid ' s heads , killing it instantly , but a second one pulls the gun underground . tecopa then attracts one of the graboids by sticking a saw into the ground and banging on it . when the graboid rushes to eat him , it impales itself on the saw . the third and final graboid grows smarter , however , and avoids all their traps . hiram tricks it into coming to the surface and then attaches it by the tail to the wheel of the town ' s traction engine .\nthe now famous burt gummer returns to his hometown of perfection , nevada for the first time in years , but the deadliest graboid evolution yet forces him to save the town he swore to protect .\nvery funny and brilliant story , going back to the ancestors of the original gcast . excellent entertainment with some surprising twists in the plot and characters .\na budget cut from 3 but not quite as low as 2 , the fourth film plays with more of the creature effects from the original and does fairly well with them visually , but the story itself is lacklustre and we don\u2019t get much out of it , mythology - wise , other than that the graboids have been around for a while . this is reflected in my notes from watching the film , where i\u2019ve simply written \u201cold burt learns how to use a gun\u201d and then written \u201cnext : tremors 5 , the one with jamie kennedy from scream\u201d underneath .\nthe absence of bacon weighs heavily on the first half of aftershocks and ward himself doesn\u2019t seem entirely happy with reprising the role of basset , but the tone of the film \u2013 unevenly vacillating between wacky and too wacky \u2013 improves massively upon the reintroduction of michael gross\u2019 gun - crazy burt gummer , and it\u2019s easy to see why he took over the franchise completely after the second film , even if the character tends to work better as a supporting role .\nthe harrington and richards single shot shotgun is lu wan\u2019s behind - the - counter gun . it is also seen when fu yien runs out of the store carrying it , hoping to join the battle .\nin the fourth outing of the tremors franchise , viewers are transported back in time to the old west , where gun - shy hiram gummer comes across a 19th century brood of the man - eating titular beasts . the film has been released straight - to - dvd with a widescreen transfer and dolby digital 5 . 1 surround sound for the original english soundtrack as well as the dubbed french and spanish tracks . french and spanish subtitles are also included . along with the film , the disc boasts an extensive selection of bonus material . there are three documentary featurettes that offer different perspectives of the making of the film . additionally , there is a blooper reel , a selection of deleted scenes , and a feature - length audio - commentary track by director s . s . wilson .\nas if the tremors movies had any self - respect left after part 3 and then the god awful tv series they make another sequel , oh wait excuse me , a prequel . oh well at least unlike part 3 they tried something different this time around by making it a but alas it didn ' t much help since its the worst of the series . still it does get a point or two for not having the graboids evolve into anything else this time around .\nwhen a wealth of silver is discovered in the vast nevada desert , the small but almost immediately prosperous boomtown of rejection is quickly established in order to support the bottom dollar mine . despite the riches beneath their feet that promise to put rejection on the map and deliver wealth and prosperity to the small community , the fate of the town takes an ominous turn when 17 miners are mysteriously killed . as the fearful residents abandon the mines and flee the town , mine owner hiram gummer ( series regular michael gross ) takes matters into his own hands by leading the few remaining residents in a hunt to solve the mystery of the miners ' deaths - - only to discover that the unearthly underground killer is a more powerful force than he may have ever imagined . ~ jason buchanan , rovi\nsix years after the release of the first film , a kevin bacon - less fred ward is back in the s . s . wilson - directed tremors 2 and he\u2019s headed to mexico , where graboids have been spotted gobbling up employees underneath an oil field . having squandered the cash he earned from his fame in the original film , ward\u2019s earl basset is keen to collect on the $ 50 , 000 - a - head graboid bounty offered by the oil refinery boss \u2013 so keen that he\u2019s even willing to take on a new young partner in the form of true blood \u2019s chris gartin ( a substandard replacement for bacon ; a facon , if you will ) .\nin true back to the future 3 style we travel back in time to when perfection is known as rejection , and it is populated with the ancestors of all of the characters that inhabit to valley in the later movies . so which way does this go ? is it a disaster of phantom menace proportions , or the success of back to the future 3 ? thankfully it is most definitely the later , with this being the best film in the series since the original . this has been achieved by using the original ' s formula of big worm action and humor , but giving it some nice twists .\nthe winchester 1873 is perhaps the most popular lever action rifle of the era . over 720 , 000 were manufactured over a period of 50 years in a range of calibers and barrel lengths . the standard 24\u2033 barrel made the 1873 a very popular saddle gun for cowboys . this weapon was immortalized by james stewart in the film \u201cwinchester \u201973\u201d . big horse johnson fires a . 44 caliber winchester 1873 at the mini - graboids in the camp scene .\nthe worstr of them all ! it left out allot of information about the best an i dont like that . it wasent the worst movie a have seen . . .\n\u201c\u2018in too deep\u2019 is the most moving pop song of the 1980s , about monogamy and commitment . the song is extremely uplifting . their lyrics are as positive . . .\nthe original cost a rather humble $ 11 million to make and made $ 5 million profit at the box office . not a huge amount , but its subsequent popularity on home release and tv means that , 26 years later , we\u2019ve just received word that a sixth instalment has gone into production . it seems the tremors love is still very much alive and kicking ( or should that be \u2018squirming\u2019 ? ) .\nthe worms are back but this time in a prequel , set in 1889 nevada as silver mines inspector hiram gummer , the great - grandfather of burt gummer , arrives in the small settlement of rejection valley and faces off against the so - called graboid worm monsters devouring the local inhabitants .\nthe remington rolling block was made to compete with the likes of the sharps 1874 . this rifle came in several different calibers and configurations including sporting no 1 . ( pictured ) , long range creedmoor and mid - range target . this is the gun pyong chang fires from the back of the steam traction engine during the final battle . it fired 45 - 70 blanks , but we called it a 45 - 120 in the film , which was another western era big bore cartridge for which the rifle could have been made .\nthis prequel , starring michael gross from the first 3 ( but wasn ' t he surprised by the worms in the first , aha read on ) focuses around burt ' s ( michael gross in the first 3 ) great grandfather ( played by michael gross in this one ) and a band of people fighting the worms in the town of rejection .\nbefore the advent of the sharps rifle , buffalo hunting often meant riding along side a running buffalo and firing repeatedly at the animal until it dropped . this was not only dangerous but also stampeded the herd , which greatly limited the number of kills . the great accuracy and stopping power of the sharps allowed hunters to quietly drop buffalo at a distance of hundreds of yards without alarming the herd . skilled hunters could often kill 50 or more animals before wounding one and causing a stampede .\njust in time for the halloween season , the texas chainsaw massacre series has returned with leatherface . however , like it has once before , the series is jumping back in . . .\nthe first gatling gun was invented and built by r . j . gatling in 1862 and patented in 1865 . colt\u2019s armory in hartford , connecticut then produced the weapon for the military . the gun has 10 barrels which revolve inside of a supporting frame . as the barrels revolve , an ingenious mechanism automatically loads cartridges , cocks the hammers , fires each barrel in turn , and ejects the empty shells in one continuous motion , all powered by simple hand - crank turned by the gunner . the gatling gun used in the film was a genuine antique 45 - 70 caliber colt made before 1900 \u2014 and it worked flawlessly .\nsharps 1874 buffalo gun unofficially accounted for more one - shot kills than any other weapon known . buffalo and other large game hunters routinely reported nearly a 100 % kill rate per cartridge fired . many gunfighters were former buffalo hunters and carried this weapon for their long range needs . buffalo hunter billy dixon made a famous 1500 yard shot which wounded an attacking indian at the battle of adobe walls using a . 50 caliber sharps . the weapon became known as \u201cold reliable\u201d and the company itself began stamping the barrels with this popular nickname . the sharps is a single shot breach loader . opening the breach would eject the spent shell in preparation for the next round . the sharps also had a double set trigger . pulling the rear trigger set the front \u201chair\u201d trigger to discharge the weapon at the slightest touch , an advantage when holding the rifle steady for a long - distance shot .\nmany of the most famous / infamous characters of the era used the colt sa , including wyatt earp , doc holliday and the dalton gang . later issues of the gun offered different barrel lengths and several smaller calibers . the single action design of this gun limited the firing speed compared to some other weapons of the era but it delivered rounds with deadly accuracy and a hefty punch . otherwise referred to as a \u201cfrontier , \u201d \u201cequalizer\u201d , \u201csix shooter , \u201d or \u201chogleg\u201d this weapon is arguably the most popular handgun ever made . in our movie , it\u2019s black hand kelly\u2019s weapon of choice , and he gives one to hiram for target practice . juan also packs the peacemaker in the film .\nold fred\u2019s handgun is the smith and wesson top break . 44 caliber single action revolver most commonly known as first model american . it was called a top break because it had a latch just in front of the hammer . when the latch is released the barrel and cylinder tip down and an automatic extractor expels the shells . this makes the weapon fast to load but wasteful if all rounds were not fired since any unspent shells are ejected along with the used ones , which one would then have to pick up and dust off . this is the main reason the us army picked the slower loading colt single action army as their primary weapon . buffalo bill cody purchased an american in 1874 and wyatt earp was said to carry one at the shootout at the o . k . corral . smith and wesson also made the top break in . 45 caliber schofield . this handgun was considered to be one of the most accurate target pistols of the 19th century .\nthe first hour goes by and nothing happens but bickering among the characters about this and that and where to camp . . .\nthe 19th - century community of rejection faces certain doom when giant man - eating worms hatch from eggs found lying in a nearby mine and begin to prey on the populace . the owner of the mine is determined to save the town , and joins forces with a feared gunslinger to fight off the monsters . action comedy prequel , starring michael gross , sara botsford and billy drago .\ni am very impressed with tremors 4 . most prequels have flaws , but this one has legitimate explanations for everything , such as why there is no mention of these incidents in the previous three movies . and michael gross is outstanding as hiram gummer , great - grandfather to burt gummer . same actor , different character , but equally well - played . i think it ' s obvious now that if gross were to ever leave the franchise , there probably wouldn ' t be anymore sequels / prequels made . he ' s made himself too important , and that ' s all the better for these movies . one thing that i was truly impressed with in this movie is that there is way less cgi than there was in the previous two movies . they ' ve gone back mainly to puppetry and animatronics , just the way we like our special effects . real . it helps us believe what we ' re seeing . for example , there is one moment where a graboid comes through the floor and a guy is lifted on its back .\nit\u2019s an extremely simple story that becomes a lot more fun when you add the other residents of perfection into the mix . there\u2019s the annoying teenager who\u2019s never happier than when he\u2019s pranking people out of sheer boredom , the cute graduate student who just happens to be conducting tests in the area and who repeatedly , but earnestly , puts val in his place , and of course burt gummer ( michael gross ) \u2013 the paranoid , moustachioed survivalist whose house happens to be stocked to the gills with all the guns and ammo they\u2019ll need to defeat the encroaching , man - eating , underground threat .\nthe creators keep this one going and set it in the 1800s and it was done well and has some funny stuff in it .\nin 1889 , the site that will become perfection valley is home to the town of rejection valley . the inhabitants are completely dependent on a nearby silver mine for its income , and when a hot spring causes graboid eggs to hatch the mine becomes too dangerous to work in . its owner is hiram gummer , great - grandfather of burt . he arrives in town to fix the problem , but finds he is in way over his head dealing with the monsters . as hiram picks up the lessons that will one day be imparted to burt , the town readies itself for a final showdown with the graboids .\nthe best thing about the more recent films has been the character of gun toting survival nut burt gummer . well fans of the character are in for a big shock . his great , great , etc grandfather isn ' t the man burt is , in fact he doesn ' t even own a gun ! this single change really makes the film , as it gives the excellent michael gross a brand new character to play with . there is fun to be had as we watch dapper city gent hiram slowly become burt ( just wait until you see the gun he eventually ends up with ) . of the new characters the most impressive is billy drago ' s gunfighter blank hand kelly . drago puts in a great turn as the meanest gun in the west , and hiram ' s trainer . he is obviously having great fun with the role and it comes across on screen .\ntrippy indie madeline ' s madeline is the movie that lakeith stanfield and boots riley from sorry to bother you want to see the most .\nthis is a prequel to the entire series , taking place in the 1800 ' s with michael gross ' early ancestors have to deal with the entire graboid problem . not as funny as the others but still worth watching just for the hell of it . the other thing is that this seems to channel a bit of stephen king ' s story desperation , but i ' m sure it ' s just a coincidence .\nit ' s not the best b movie in this series , but it ' s watchable . i rewatch the rest of the series from time to time , but i really like good b movies late at night .\naftershocks introduces a new species of graboid to the franchise ( \u2018shriekers\u2019 ) who can walk around on land ; a sort of half - velociraptor with a graboid upper half . however , due to the aforementioned budget constraints , the animatronic puppets the filmmakers could afford do very little else but waddle in place menacingly and it\u2019s up to the editing to make it appear as though they\u2019re any kind of advancing threat to the cast \u2013 with varying results .\nthis came out or was made in 2003 , strange i have no recollection of seeing this version on tv . it sets the scene for worms from the late 1800 ' s america using the same actors as in the first version , except no kevin bacon . so you knew roughly the story that was coming . body count was quite high in first part of film .\nthis is the rifle juan uses in the final battle . in reality it was 45 - 70 caliber but we called it . 52 caliber in the film because it sounded cooler , and could still have been a custom loading .\nas silly as it looks , the 2 inch bore giant shot gun was a real thing . it was used to shoot entire flocks of ducks at once . you would mount the gun on a flat bottomed boat ( a punt ) aim at the side of the lake where a flock was feeding and fire .\nhiram calls for a gunfighter , black hand kelly . he promises kelly all the silver he can carry once the mine is reopened , but has to give him his diamond cuff links and double eagle watch fob as a down payment for his services . while setting a trap , they find the severed head of old fred , the freight driver who had not been seen in weeks . the two do not get along well , and eventually kelly is eaten alive but not before discovering there are four of the creatures that hatched and that they are a lot bigger than when juan killed one . hiram decides to abandon the town and leave the townsfolk to their fate , but they force him to give them the silver mine , threatening to alert potential buyers to the danger if he sells it out from under them .\nwell i was expecting bad things and i got it , however what i will say about this besides the reversal of character for michael grossm is that ot does set up the original film rather well , at the expense of the original b movie horror it started with . yes this is a series centred around fun , but the first film did make me jump and i was scared of the graboids , or mother - humpers depending on your fancy . kevin bacon in teh first was brillaint and so even was fred ward . however this fourth installment was a farce . it was entertaining but lacked the charisma of the series due to the poor characters . it had to be a prequel though . another sequel would have been below awful .\nin 1889 , the site that will become perfection is home to the town of rejection . the inhabitants are completely dependent on the income from a nearby silver mine , and when a hot spring causes graboid eggs to hatch , the mine becomes too dangerous to work in . the mine ' s owner is hiram gummer , great - grandfather of burt gummer . he arrives in town to fix the problem , but finds he is in way over his head dealing with the monsters , which they have dubbed\ndirt dragons\n, when they attack his camp one night . one of his companions , juan , kills one with a pickaxe and they barely get away ."]}

starring \u201cwild , \u201d to debut his latest cinematic excursion into the unique emotional excess that so often defines stories about grief . starring jake gyllenhaal as the shell - shocked davis mitchell , \u201cdemolition\u201d employs many of the same techniques that made \u201cwild\u201d so striking ( and so special ) , particularly vallee\u2019s own snappy and smart editing , along with an ability to extract impressive and not at all showy performances from his actors .\ngyllenhaal is currently training for the boxing pic \u201csouthpaw , \u201d which goes into production next month and is still weighing his options on this film but if he decides to do the film , it would mark another strong dramatic turn for the actor who has been very decisive on his choices over the last couple of years .\nthis film also had a lot of five o ' clock shadow gyllenhaal in suits and raybans . as a lady , i was quite pleased . solid b .\ni ' m thrilled and excited to be back in business with fox searchlight ,\nvallee told the hollywood reporter .\nthey have been wonderful , creative partners on wild . i look forward to collaborating again on demolition .\na successful investment banker struggles after losing his wife in a tragic car crash . with the help of a customer service rep and her young son , he starts to rebuild , beginning with the demolition of the life he once knew .\nsources say that fox will also distribute the film in the uk , australia , france and germany . sierra / affinity will be selling the balance of the territories .\nram house will be presented as part of atelier clerici , a collective exhibition platform taking place during the salone del mobile 2015 at palazzo clerici . the house , a collaboration between space caviar and prokoss , questions the default settings on our relationship with technology and allows the house to adopt different permeabilities to electromagnetic radiation , thus controlling the entry and exit of wifi , cellular signals , and other radio waves .\ngyllenhaal has changed his appearance dramatically in such recent films as nightcrawler and southpaw . did you sit down with him at the beginning to discuss his look in this film ?\ni\u2019m hoping to do a film about janis joplin with amy adams . it\u2019s not done yet . there are some legal issues , but that\u2019s the project that\u2019s in my heart . i\u2019d like to do a rock \u2019n\u2019 roll film with lots of music . i like to use music to frame stories . so i hope it\u2019s going to work .\n. i was pleasantly surprised to find that i shared the same realization with film critic roger ebert who described the overplayed genre as \u201cyuppie - finding - his - soul\u201d .\nobviously , \u201cdemolition\u201d is a movie about how we deal with grief and , yes , davis will eventually find himself on a better path . thanks to gyllenhaal\u201ds incredible efforts , though , it\u201ds a more emotional and relatable journey than you might expect .\ndirectors of the festival , which runs sept . 10 - 20 , announced on tuesday the inclusion of \u201cdemolition\u201d as a world premiere , one of 49 galas and special presentations on a slate that will eventually include several hundred films and television shows .\nyeah , that\u2019s why this year , i\u2019m so happy i\u2019m not shooting this fall . otherwise , i would explode . i got out of my comfort zone doing this . normally , i direct every three years or so . i was supposed to shoot demolition after dallas , and then wild appeared between the two , and so i did it and then demolition . so i\u2019m glad i\u2019m resting . i\u2019m not doing another film this year . but it happened , and that was ok , too . you find a new strength and find some adrenaline going from one project to another and just do it . being active , being creative on the spot is what\u2019s challenging .\nalso , watts felt really underused in this film . she is a big time actress . oscar nominated , but her character didn ' t do a whole lot for me .\nfor the industrial propedty consider the following issues : . as a complementary service , mos demolition , excavation , grading and hauling contractors also offer bob cat services for these projects . here are a few things you should consider before hiring a demmolition service : .\nso this is a film about dealing with shock and grief by acting out , in a way that never really makes any sense or builds into a narrative worth following . it\u2019s not just kooky , it\u2019s exasperating . given the brilliance gyllenhaal has demonstrated in films like end of watch and night crawler , demolition demolishes expectations . no oscar certs yet then , this festival season . but toronto often starts with a dip before hitting the heights .\ni also just finished watching it and agree with what you ' re saying . i must say that i really enjoyed watching davis ' progression through the film and liked it overall .\nyou don\u2019t have to be a four - decade attendee to see that the toronto international film festival has evolved dramatically . it\u2019s changed since last year , for example , in ways both interesting and odd . the 2014 festival was , memorably , the installment that saw tiff brass allow only films making their world or north american premieres to screen during the first four days . this was a calculated response to the increased prominence of the earlier fall festivals in venice and telluride , both of which have stolen some of toronto\u2019s oscar - tastemaker thunder in recent years . for attendees and media , this meant that tiff\u2019s opening weekend did not feature some of the year\u2019s biggest films . however , the approach was softened for 2015 , likely a response to the bad press and film critic grumbling the move received .\nfor barry grant , who set up his video camera on the perfect hilltop in the hope of filming the demolition of glasgow ' s red road flats \u2014 then ended up completely missing the key moment \u2014 the problem came in the form of a single wasp .\ndemolition\nis the story about an offbeat expression of guilt through destruction . when the young wife of a successful money manager dies in a car crash , her husband ( jake gyllenhaal ) deals with his lack of grief by joining a demolition crew tearing down a house . pressured by his wealthy father - in - law ( chris cooper ) and suffocated by his minimalist lifestyle , he forms a friendship with a vending machine customer service rep ( naomi watts ) and her troubled fifteen year old son ( judah lewis ) . through their mutual honesty with each other , he finds the deep love he felt for his wife and commemorates her death in a warm and compassionate manner .\ndemolition\nis another great movie starring jake gyllenhaal . a well deserved nine out of ten .\nchris hemsworth kicks off filming for the star - studded men in black spin - off as he cuts a sharp figure in london . . . 21 years after the first film hit screens\ndespite gyllenhaal ' s praiseworthy performance , this is an unremarkable film that will hardly be remembered in the future as one of vall\u00e9e ' s finest works . full review on filmotrope . com\nthe film is directed by jean - marc vallee from a screenplay by bryan sipe . producers are lianne halfon , russ smith , molly smith , trent luckinbill , sidney kimmel and vallee .\nat a theater near you this thursday night . the film has been in release in the united kingdom since last monday night and had already earned $ 80 million in six territories as of sunday . the film cost $ 240 million to produce and comes as the franchise is at yet another crossroad . daniel craig can ' t make up his mind about wanting to return , and\natelier clerici is jointly organised by space caviar and z33 and will be open from 14 to 19 april 2015 , with installations and events by proofflab magazine , chp\u2026 ? , bio ljubljana , opendesk , macguffin , maniera , design academy eindhoven , synopsis , vincent tarisien , jesse howard , leonardo amico , kirschner3d , coralie gourguechon , unfold , minale - maeda , vitra design museum , konstfack , pin - up magazine , dirty furniture , and domus academy .\nit\u2019s gyllenhaal\u2019s charm that keeps \u201cdemolition\u201d ticking along as well as it does for as long as it does , as he whole - heartedly embraces davis\u2019 \u201cthing\u201d of being honest all the time ( even davis has the good sense to sneer at the claim that truth - telling is his calling card ) , mostly by way of amusingly off - kilter voiceovers and plain - faced statements that , while always true , are also keenly observational and almost painfully on the mark . in \u201cdemolition , \u201d the whole adage is true , it\u2019s funny because it\u2019s true .\nshot documentary - style , this film follows the daily grind of two young police officers in la who are partners and friends , and what happens when they meet criminal forces greater than themselves .\nleviathan may have been the first russian film to win a golden globe since war and peace in 1969 , it may have been nominated for an oscar and received five - star reviews in many western publications , but back in the motherland all this counts for little . the director , andrei zvyagintsev , is being given the cold shoulder due to his film\u2019s uncompromising take on contemporary russian society .\n, but it is a foreign - language film , so that limits its chances . the rest of the films are not earning strong enough reviews to suggest they will do well in limited release .\nin short : i love it . it ' s smart . it ' s trying something fresh . it feels very real . the performances are fantastic . it ' s interesting . it is a must see . many think this is just average but i think they should pay more attention to detail . which . . . if you watched the film is pretty much what the film is about .\n\u201cgo through hell and look cool doing it . \u201d that\u2019s the vibe i got from the poster for\ndemolition ,\nwhich uses a neatly quartered ( with one segment slightly askew ) portrait of its male lead , jake gyllenhaal , sporting expensive shades and wearing expensive headphones . is that an overly simplistic reading of the actual film ? yes . but it\u2019s also true that the movie , costarring naomi watts and directed by jean - marc vall\u00e9e , doesn\u2019t exactly shy away from those semiotics .\nthe film is constantly trying to take a path less travelled ; unfortunately it ' s not the right path . in the process of being different , the movie becomes incoherent and eventually ends up being commonplace .\nso much of this film plays out like a terrence malick film . old malick . like a\ndays of heaven\nprime malick . more narrative - driven malick . yet also very new - malick as well . the use of voiceover over the choppy , sporadic imagery . like a broken fairy tale or dream . a bunch of pieces falling downwards , hoping they can stay intact once they hit rock bottom .\none of my favourite of jake ' s films . . . he ' s mesmorising in this , and greatly portrays the emotions of his character , creating an upbeat sense to the sombre sense of the film\nthis is an intelligent film that expertly explores the human emotions and personal growth , and it funny at the same time . high praise to vall\u00e9e for the directing and for gyllenhaal and watts for the acting .\nscreen international is the essential resource for the international film industry . subscribe now for monthly editions , awards season weeklies , access to the screen international archive and supplements including stars of tomorrow and world of locations .\nstx entertainment\u2019s first - person shooter hardcore henry is looking at $ 2 . 4m for today , coming in closer to the lower end of its projections with $ 7m . fox searchlight\u2019s demolition isn\u2019t set to wow with a $ 1m - $ 1 . 5m opening for the weekend . more later .\nvallee has previously described \u201cdemolition\u201d as \u201ca powerful and touching story , written with a strong and sincere desire to try to understand the human psyche , what makes us so unique , so special , what makes us love . this is a script of a rare quality , of a beautiful humanity . \u201d\nin a sense , it\u2019s a familiar story . and as a character study , \u201cdemolition\u201d is flat . davis\u2019 moves exist in service of the script\u2019s blunt metaphors , which don\u2019t offer a ton of payoff . but vall\u00e9e keeps things moving by channeling a more grown - up \u201csilver linings playbook . \u201d the movie also makes for a nice companion piece with gyllenhaal\u2019s \u201cnightcrawler\u201d performance - - he was more manic there , but both roles are all id in reluctant search for a super - ego . if \u201cdemolition\u201d didn\u2019t batter you with what it all means , it could be a great movie . - - mj\nthat said , all of davis ' changes of course do not sit well with his former father - in - law phil ( chris cooper ) . davis ' behavior reads , understandably , as insensitivity to the grieving man , and one of the film ' s subtle pleasures is that you never know if you ' re supposed to root for davis or be appalled by him . modern culture and oprah tell us to be our best selves , but what if our best self also happens to act like a real jerk ? in an interview , vallee explained he saw the film as a human road - map of sorts .\ndavis made choices because it was easy , and what happens when you have a loss and you ask why you ' ve been making that choice ? then you have to do deconstruction and demolition to break that down ,\nvallee said of the film , which will be released commercially in april .\n\u201cwe\u2019ve been coming to tiff for all forty years , \u201d says the husband of a truly lovely couple at the 2015 toronto international film festival . \u201cit\u2019s changed , for sure . remember ? the uptown , the cumberland \u2026\u201d i nod and smile , not admitting that those venues were long gone by 2007 , when i started attending the annual september extravaganza . the wife talks of having vouchers the first few years , with no movie titles on the tickets , and lining up for hours to gain entry . while there is clear nostalgia for the days when the likes of henry winkler were considered the festival\u2019s top celebrity guests , they are not critical of the eleven - day , nearly 300 - feature tiff of today .\nnaomi watts have been set to star opposite jake gyllenhaal in demolition , the romantic drama to be directed by dallas buyers club helmer jean - marc vallee . black label media and sidney kimmel entertainment will finance and produce , and mr . mudd will produce after developing the project and bringing it to black label .\none interesting thing sipe said was that when he was 18 - 21 years old he worked for a demolition / construction team . he hated it , he said , and the best part of his day was standing in the shower at night watching all the dirt and soot from the day wash off him and turn the bottom of the shower black . he recalls feeling such a sense of apathy at this point in his life . thought that was really interesting as lot of that feeling / imagery made its way into the film .\nmodern film is well versed in the man - upended story . over the years on screen , a life - changing event has caused many to find redemption , and plenty of others to come unglued . but it ' s rare - - even odds - defying - - to encounter someone who seems to be doing both at once . that ' s the character conceit of\ndemolition ,\na new film that sees jake gyllenhaal in some of the same dark comic waters he swam last year as an off - kilter man in\nnightcrawler ,\nand also has director jean - marc vallee (\ndallas buyers club ,\nwild\n) once again exploring the power and limits of personal transformation , though this time more wittily and outrageously .\nit came to me 3 1 / 2 years ago from [ production company ] mr . mudd , and then we got black label media as a partner . when they saw my film cafe de flore at tiff [ in 2011 ] , there was some sort of link between cafe de flore and demolition , and so they sent me the script and i said ,\nwow , it is so rare to read a script with that kind of quality . when you turn the pages , you don\u2019t know at all where it\u2019s going , but you\u2019re involved . you\u2019re emotional .\nso i said ,\nwhoa , i want to direct this .\nit looks like it\u2019s a meditation , a reflection on grief , but the film celebrates life , love .\nhis director , jean - marc vall\u00e9e , has been an award - season fixture of late with wild and dallas buyers club , both of which sprung off the festival blocks with a great deal of acclaim for the acting . demolition flinched at the starter pistol last year , and all but sits down failing to budge .\nin a note , the investment firm predicts that ticket sales in 2015 will hit record levels , eclipsing the previous high established in 2013 by 2 % . thanks the success of blockbusters like \u201c jurassic world \u201d and \u201c furious 7 , \u201d revenue will likely outstrip last year\u2019s figures by 8 % . many analysts believe that with pictures like \u201cstar wars : the force awakens\u201d and \u201cthe hunger games : mockingjay \u2013 part 2\u201d still awaiting release this winter , this is the first year that the domestic box office will top $ 11 billion .\nwhile the \u201cdemolition\u2019\u2019 script strains to achieve the zaniness of david o . russell\u2019s \u201csilver linings playbook , \u2019\u2019 it comes a lot closer to mike binder\u2019s 9 / 11 dramedies \u201cthe upside of anger\u2019\u2019 and \u201creign over me , \u2019\u2019 which failed to deliver sought - after oscar nods for its respective stars , kevin costner and adam sandler .\nfull financial estimates for this film , including domestic and international box office , video sales , video rentals , tv and ancillary revenue are available through our research services . for more information , please contact us at research @ urltoken .\nthere is much to savor here , especially the unforced performance of judah lewis - - one more recruit to the terrific roster of younger actors who are streaming into the movies . yet the film lacks the courage of its affliction .\nwhile zvyagintsev has a history of making films with almost biblical plots and a deep vein of personal spirituality , his treatment of the organised orthodox church is vicious , and the film has been given a very icy reception by its supporters .\n30 january 2014 space caviar is always interested in receiving proposals or introductions from diverse practitioners from the spheres of design , architecture , technology , politics , journalism , and film - making . we also welcome applications for internships in genoa .\na husband grieves for his dead wife in unconventional \u2014 and unconvincing \u2014 ways in demolition , a self - consciously quirky comedy - drama that badly overestimates how captivating its damaged , searching characters are . jake gyllenhaal creates some empathy as a man in spiritual free fall , but director jean - marc vall\u00e9e never grounds his protagonist\u2019s peculiar mourning process in any sort of believable human behaviour , and so consequently the film grows more and more irksome , mistaking clanging emotional crescendos for some sort of grand truth about the need to go crazy every once in a while in order to stay sane .\nwhile the plot sounds like a mawkish melodrama , aping the plots of films such as things we lost in the fire , demolition sets out to defy expectation at the outset . gyllenhaal\u2019s lead is unable to grieve for his wife , struggling to emote and mourn her loss , even questioning his love for her entirely . it\u2019s an angle which could have led to some interestingly dark territory but as edgy as bryan sipe\u2019s script clearly wants to be , this is a boringly safe film , focused on pushing our confused character into the family unit he so clearly needs to be a part of .\ncooper comes away with the most credit , perhaps because it\u2019s hard not to empathise with his increasingly thunderous air of grievance : he wants davis to get his whole act together , just as we want the film to shape up and mean something .\nthe film had a nice balance of comedy and drama . i teared up a bit near the end , but my baby rode her first carousel literally a week ago , so it affected me . i also teared up when davis finally cried .\nthe film is obsessed almost exclusively with its retconned revelations and little else since . and yet since we are needlessly kept in the dark waiting patiently for revelations that end up having little impact , the end result is a shockingly dull 007 adventure .\nin order to make sense of his life , a white - collar widower decides he has to tear it all down in \u201cdemolition , \u201d dismantling appliances , smashing furniture and even going so far as to bulldoze his own house in search of a catharsis that never comes . it all could have gone horribly awry , were it not for [ \u2026 ]\n\u201cdemolition\u201d stars jake gyllenhaal , naomi watts and chris cooper in a story about the disintegrating emotional life of an investment banker . fox searchlight released the winner of this year\u2019s best picture oscar , \u201cbirdman , \u201d as well as \u201cwild , \u201d which was directed by mr . vall\u00e9e and received oscar nominations for two of its stars , reese witherspoon and laura dern .\nthe unlikely script is hampered with failed attempts at magical realism and leaden metaphors . gyllenhaal\u2019s character becomes obsessed with deconstructing objects and demolishing buildings , leading to the film\u2019s title . but , you guessed it , all this means something deeper about his life \u2026\ncanadian director jean - marc vall\u00e9e had seemed on a roll with his last two films , dallas buyers club and wild . last night , at the gala premiere opening this year\u2019s 40th toronto international film festival , that roll ran off a cliff edge .\nfilm content remains a vibrant and exciting communication and marketing tool , and we can create exciting products for you of any length for your needs . from promotional films for your company , hotels or apartments , to event films , which can be shared over the internet via various social media sites such as twitter , facebook and instagram , to name just a few , and be seen by millions in seconds . the film production team at regenology have the skills to help guide you through the whole process .\njohn j . kelly , executive producer , deadpool , 20th century fox :\nhaving just had the most successful box office weekend of my career as well as that of 20th century fox , i would like to say ' thank you ' to the city who made this all happen - vancouver . when originally looking for a city to shoot this film , vancouver had the most attractive elements including an active and supportive film - friendly city staff , amazing locations , and well - experienced local crew .\njake gyllenhaal is in talks to star in \u201cthe dallas buyers club\u201d helmer jean - marc vallee\u2019s next pic , \u201cdemolition . \u201d the drama is a co - production between black label media and mr . mudd with john malkovich and lianne halfon producing for their mr . mudd banner and thad and trent luckinbill and molly smith producing for black label media . [ \u2026 ]\n\u201cdemolition\u2019\u2019 isn\u2019t scheduled to open in the us until april , which seems like a tacit admission by fox searchlight that this screwball comedy - drama is in some ways even more out - there and potentially alienating to audiences ( but probably not to some critics ) than \u201cnightcrawler , \u2019\u2019 the gyllenhaal vehicle whose oscar push netted a sole nomination for director dan gilroy\u2019s screenplay .\njake and naomi responded to demolition just the way i did , so that was an easy choice . we didn\u2019t want to do a romance . it\u2019s not about romance , yet there\u2019s a slight romance in the film . these two have some sort of attraction for each other , but there\u2019s nothing sexual . i loved the difference of age between the two , and it shows , and that\u2019s why we went there with naomi and jake . there\u2019s a 10 - year difference . she meets him , and they\u2019re curious about each other , but they know it\u2019s probably an impossible relationship , but that\u2019s the fun part also .\nthose adventures , ill - advised and seemingly engineered just to be strange , ultimately lead straight into a third act that relies on obvious twists and undercooked personality twitches to drive home the same point that has been repeated throughout the film\u2019s runtime : you have to rip things down to start over again . when gyllenhaal ( who again turns in another wonderful and nuanced performance , continuing the pattern he set with other tiff picks like \u201cnightcrawler\u201d and \u201cenemy\u201d ) rips things down to the studs , there\u2019s glory in the action , freshness and revitalization , but once vallee tasks him with building everything back up , \u201cdemolition\u201d collapses under its own ambitious weight .\ni went into watching this movie with no expectations , without even seeing the trailer and trust me that ' s the best way of seeing this film . demolition shocks you in the beginning and then you can follow a numb recovery mixed with dark humour , where someone has to deal with losing a person closest to them . while trying to move forward the davis also has to look back into his life and relationship to make sense of it all . the acting is superb especially on the part of jake gyllenhaal and it engulfs you in a sea of varying emotions where sometimes you ' re laughing and then you might be crying .\nthe r - rated low - budget film featured a very ethnically diverse cast and the turnout reflected that with two thirds of the crowd being non - white . other demos showed it to play 54 % male and 51 % under 25 . reviews were mixed , but not too important to the box office performance on this one . the b - cinemascore grade was pretty good for a fright film . the four - part purge series has now grossed over $ 362m worldwide but cost less than $ 40m combined to produce ."]}

' ' it ' s like an entire city . and they have mountains , rivers , everything . while we were filming , there were 20 other films being shot . there are apparently 20 , 000 people working in catering and the studio even owns its own hotels for crews . ' '\nstarring guy pearce , claudia karvan and zhu lin , the drama was part - financed by hengdian studios . it was filmed in sydney and at hengdian , where a staggering 50 films are shot a year .\n' ' i get very wearied by the notion of australian films being made for australian audiences , ' ' says clare stewart , the outgoing director of the sydney film festival , which opens tonight .\n' ' asia offers an important potential market . i ' ve been going to the hong kong festival and market for many years and have seen how vibrant that film industry is . we are so well positioned to be doing more co - productions with asia . ' '\nfittingly , the jury president for the official competition at sydney ' s festival is chen kaige , the beijing - born director who won the palme d ' or at cannes with farewell my concubine ( 1993 ) .\nin recent years , the australian film industry has taken determined steps towards asia , particularly china . in 2007 , australia and china signed a co - production agreement , which came into force in december 2008 . children of the silk road ( 2008 ) was made as the treaty was coming into effect ; the first feature made under the treaty was dragon pearl ( formerly the last dragon ) , starring sam neill . screen australia says the combined budget for both was $ 41 million .\n' ' every year , all the big studios in the world are fighting for these slots , which means films like avatar and harry potter dominate . the small films from smaller distributors don ' t usually get a look in . ' '\nit isn ' t just china tempting australian filmmakers . little thief , which is seeking a distributor , is an edgy $ 200 , 000 collaboration between talented sydney director christopher robin collins and korean producer bon won lee .\nshot in glebe , marrickville and the inner city , it is a drama about a methodical korean man whose life is upended by a young bag - snatcher . ' ' one of the benefits of working with a korean producer is their different take on culture , ' ' collins says .\n' ' their way of doing things is so disciplined and polite , whereas the australian way can be more relaxed and easy - going . that really tied into the premise of our story . ' '\nprevious examples of asian - australian films include clara law ' s floating life ( 1996 ) , tony ayres ' s the home song stories ( 2007 ) , khoa do ' s missing water ( 2009 ) and bruce beresford ' s mao ' s last dancer ( 2009 ) .\nthe australian - chinese co - production treaty will no doubt increase the number of australian - chinese stories on our screens ; it is also likely to broaden the range of stories being told .\n' ' china is a country , more than possibly any other that i know of , going through a cultural transformation . there are so many ideas and ways to work . in australia , there has hardly been any private investment in filmmaking in recent years . clearly , that says to me that co - production is the way to support australian film .\n' ' it feels natural that it should happen this way . and we ' re already talking to the same investors about further opportunities .

year - old mei mei ( zhu lin ) has been receiving missives and financial support for ten years from dean randall ( pearce ) , an aussie who regales her with tales of his life as a park ranger and devoted family man . so when her orphanage choir travels to sydney to participate in a singing competition , she eagerly takes advantage of the opportunity to sneak off and thank her generous adoptive father in person .\nunfortunately , she soon finds out that he\u2019s actually a convict imprisoned on a manslaughter charge . left behind by her escorts , the plucky teenager somehow manages to become embroiled in a car theft ring whose ringleaders include randall\u2019s brother ( rhys muldoon ) . desperate to save her from the criminals\u2019 clutches , randall makes the possibly self - destructive decision to get himself sprung by testifying against one of the prison\u2019s more viciously violent inmates .\nhow does a long incarcerated prisoner have the disposable income to provide support for a foster child ? why would a gang of hardened criminals recruit a hopelessly na\u00efve teenager ? why would the choir\u2019s organizers simply abandon one of their charges ? how is it that mei mei is immediately given legal permission to stay in australia despite her young age ? these are the among the myriad head - scratching questions that spring to mind while watching the tonally confused proceedings , which somehow manage to be dull despite the profusion of plot twists .\nthe normally reliable pearce here delivers a recessive , twitchy performance less suggestive of inner conflict than constipation , while the engaging lin is unable to make her character\u2019s inconsistencies remotely credible .\ntrue to its title , the film does at least provide picture -

very - bright 10 - year - old .\nthat might be forgivable , or merely odd , but chan infuriatingly glorifies mei mei\u2019s life - endangering stupidity as a testament to nobility in a fashion that resembles robert zemeckis\u2019s treatment of his protagonist in forrest gump . we were meant to admire gump\u2019s ability to maintain a stiff upper lip as he endured adversity , despite his inability to fully comprehend much of what was happening to him . mei mei is similarly applauded for stumbling through a variety of dangers , and she\u2019s so sickeningly innocent , and so relentlessly celebrated by chan , that you may find yourself perversely rooting for the bad guys , who at the very least , share our irritation with this creepy and insufferable sprite .\ndonate slant is reaching more readers than ever before , but advertising revenue across the internet is falling fast , hitting independently owned and operated publications like ours the hardest . we\u2019ve watched many of our fellow media sites fall by the way side in recent years , but we\u2019re determined to stick around . we\u2019ve never asked our readers for financial support before , and we\u2019re committed to keeping our content free and accessible\u2014meaning no paywalls or subscription fees . if you like what we do , however , please consider becoming a slant patron . you can also make a one -

abbas ) and danish ( ahmed rehman ) convey her sentiments to ramis , who then requests her hand in marriage . the only problem is that esha\u2019s father rana ( salman shahid ) has given his daughter\u2019s hand to his friend\u2019s son nael ( mohib mirza ) , who is esha\u2019s childhood friend .\nthere are countless problems with the movie in every facet . for one , the storyline is immature and full of clich\u00e9s . the target audience seems to be teenagers , but the film lacks character and is unlikely to appeal to any age group . the scriptwriters have tried to fit all pakistani puns into two hours of footage , giving the film a substandard feel . the only saving grace is a short sequence shot in naran valley that shows spectacular views in the background and helps take one\u2019s mind off the rest of the film for a while .\ndespite the capable cast , the acting is badly overdone , and the attempt at a wannabe item song fails miserably . the songs keep popping up at random intervals , and the background music eventually starts to become painful . character development is even worse . uzma khan\u2019s role has nothing to do with the main plot ; she is just a side character whose purpose is to bring in viewers through her steamy scenes . no one emerged as a good actor , except perhaps mohib mirza , whose role was somewhat convincing . omar shahzad made a decent attempt and put on an entertaining performance in most scenes . however , there was a clear mismatch between his performance and the physical appearance of his character , especially his dressing and haircut .\nushna shah , mohib mirza and omer shahzad made a fair attempt at the action scenes , but the absence of appropriate choreography and training put their efforts to waste . it was hard to ignore how fake the fighting sequences appeared . there was also constant misrepresentation of the effects of different drugs shown in the movie , which were highly exaggerated .\nin a nutshell , nothing about this film seems original or imaginative . most of the ideas have been stolen from bollywood films , but are a lot worse . unlike the picture painted by director jawad bashir prior to the film\u2019s release , everything is mediocre at best , be it acting , music , action or script . if such lollywood flicks continue rolling in , we may have to accept that there is a long way to go before we witness an actual revival of pakistani cinema .\nduring a conversation with the express tribune , the director revealed that the movie would see him return to the genre he is most at ease with .\n\u201cit is a pure comedy film and of the same style as my previous work . \u201d the soundtrack for the rom - com is yet to be finalised . co - written by jawad bashir and ahmed abdul rehman , the film is expected to release in april 2016 .\nelaborating upon his focus from horror to comedy , the director said that given his own experience in the genre , it was not much of a hassle . \u201cthe reason i worked on maya before was because i wanted to prove that i can also direct a horror film . plus , there was a serious lack of horror films in the country ; something i wanted to change . \u201d\n\u201cwe\u2019ve completed pre - production on the film and will hopefully begin with principal photography towards the end of november , \u201d remarked bashir . unlike his previous directorial outing maya which was filmed in lahore , his latest movie will be shot in multiple locations such as nathia gali , katasraj ruins and khanpur .\nto a question about whether he has plans to rope in frequent collaborators ahsan rahim and faisal qureshi for a film , he said , \u201cwe are planning a film and hopefully we\u2019ll start working on it very soon . \u201d\nlike life & style on

next . interesting ! !\nbut things dont always go as planned now do they . when the first trailer of the film was out it was there for all to see how everything had gone haywire ! the color grading was bad , the comedy seemed stale , camera work seemed unimpressive and generally there was nothing working for the movie . however the expectations were still there , albeit low , and it seemed that the film could redeem itself from this mess by proving that the trailer was just a blunder which would not be reflective of the film .\nunfortunately though now , after having seen the film , i can say that the trailer was in fact quite on point when it comes to predicting what the film would be like and that the film could not translate into what the vision initially was . so here is my review where i break it into three parts , the good , the bad and the ugly !\nthe music is without doubt the biggest strength of the film . afzal hussain and ahsan pervaiz have definitely given their best which shows when you give the album a listen . be it the soulful \u2018qatra qatra\u2019 or the peppy \u2018dil jit lena\u2019 , each song adds to the power packed album . sadly though the picturization of the songs isnt that great , more on that later .\nthe actors have all done a commendable job and proven that they were the best choices for their respective roles . mohib mirza as the tough guy nael is perfect as is ushna shah playing the chirpy esha . moreover be it omer shahzad , mohsin abbas , ahmed or even uzma for that matter , who by the way is the weakest link , they all do a great job in the limited capacity they had .\nthe reason i say limited capacity is because the script and the director failed these talented individuals and despite having great performances couldn\u2019t convert them into a cinematic treat for the audiences . confused ? well let me explain . for instance assume there is a film being shot and i go to the sets , shoot a video of the actors and play it for you . although the actors have done a fine job with what they are delivering you wont enjoy it as a film because there will be background noise , the video will be shaky , there will be no post production , my camera angle wont really be that great and well you get the idea . something similar happened for the film where the technical crew did not deliver and the result was bad video quality , background noise , shaky camera , poor lighting . therefore even the strong comedy scenes featuring mohsin abbas haider couldn\u2019t elicit laughter because the presentation was bad .\nhaving said that i must reiterate that the actors all did a great job when it comes to the acting department . given a better platform to work with im sure all these actors will go on to show that they are forces to be reckoned with .\nthe script was a bit of a miss . the main premise of one girl , two guys has been done to death and this script just played on the same old tropes and came across as one big cliche ! here is the main premise which i have lifted from the wikipeida page of the film .\nthe dialogues could have saved the weak script but sadly they were not that great either . the comedy bit was flat as the dialogues specially the comic ones weren\u2019t really funny , barring a few . furthermore the character of layla zubairi which was added for comic relief was anything but funny . so the script and dialogues were on the weak end .\nfor a film that was promoting itself as one which was all shot in pakistan there should have been some effort to make sure that pakistan would be shown in a flattering light . the song \u2018qatra qatra\u2019 and \u2018ho gaya pyaar\u2019 have been shot in some very beautiful locations but thanks to the poor cinematography they look rather bland .\nbut its not only the dop who is to blame as the director jawad bashir hasn\u2019t fared well either . in the opening scene itself where we see ushna , mohsin and ahmed passing through a tunnel like place and delivering dialogues with extremely poor lighting one realizes how the director is at fault and the entire journey wont be a pleasant one . what\u2019s surprising is that his debut film \u2018maya\u2019 , which was probably made with a fraction of the budget of \u2018tmls\u2019 , was far superior when it comes to direction or other technicalities . furthermore as mentioned earlier in the review the camera goes shaky at points , the aerial shots are mostly blurry and on the whole the director and dop are major disappointments .\na bunch of good actors and great music could not save this film which fails because of a weak script and bad direction .\ni might be an economics graduate from lums , but cinema is where my heart truly belongs . always up for a discussion

in and deeply considered .\nhe cautions that the film might prove to be a hard sell as it examines religious faith and does not fit in an easily marketable genre . xan brooks of the guardian comments on the self -

house offering , especially with reviews highlight gleeson\u2019s performance . and even the nonreligious will appreciate the film\u2019s existential uncertainty , its bleak musings about living in a world without any sense of justice or reason .\nthe 2014 european film awards will be held on december 13th in riga , european capital of culture 2014 .\nthis ambitious\u00ac\u2020project was realised by film limerick project manager , ronan cassidy , and irish writer and director gerry stembridge , with the assistance of behind the scenes . the trilogy of films has brought together both professional and aspiring\u00ac\u2020film makers in limerick to create a film cultural legacy that organisers hope will continue for many years to come .\n. this week might be even weaker . there is only one film earning a good amount of buzz ,\npraising calvary for its treatment of its weighty thematic elements , lauren ely for first things wrote :\nis it possible for a film to capture the horror of the sexual abuse scandal in the catholic church while at the same time presenting a case for the necessity of the institutional priesthood ? against all odds , this is exactly what irish director john michael mcdonagh ' s calvary manages to do .\nirish comedian dylan moran has joined the cast of john michael mcdonagh\u2019s \u2018calvary\u2019 , which is one week into a five -

transgression , and forgiveness , but it doesn ' t forget to accompany those with laugh lines that are as jolting as any shot of irish whiskey .\ncalvary seems to be arguing for most of its running time that we are here on this planet alone , left to our own devices to make the best of messy , unimportant lives .\nthe question is complicated by a key difference between calvary and diary of a country priest : the ambiguity of the denouement . where bresson\u2019s protagonist emerges at the far side of his dark night of the soul with a profound experience of transcendence and an unambiguous affirmation that \u201call is grace , \u201d calvary ends , in a way , with what might be called a question mark .\na deafening , calm , and challenging work of character building and complex screenwriting ; calvary is a film that filled me more with admiration than anything else . brendan gleeson gives a performance beyond words , and even with so many wonderful performances this year , his work here is the best i ' ve seen in 2014 . overall , in spite of some characters that felt\noff\n, the film as a whole is quite good . however , it definitely isn ' t one that i will be returning to very often . don ' t put you off from seeing it though , its one beautiful film .\n, but very few thought it would have one of the top five openings of the year . additionally , the film earned some of the best\nthe movie also had the highest weekend figures of any irish film released in 2014 , and was also the fifth highest grossing film to go on general release in ireland , coming behind the lego movie , the wolf of wall street , 12 years a slave and the amazing spiderman 2 .\ncalvary director john michael mcdonagh has come under fire for comments he made in which he distanced himself from irish films and stated that he didn\u2019t find other irish films to be \u201ctechnically accomplished\u201d or \u201cintelligent\u201d .\nfox searchlight \u2018s calvary handily topped the few other specialty titles debuting this weekend , though results for the drama \u2014 about a priest facing vengeful death threats for the crimes of others \u2014 were by no means heavenly . the film starring brendan gleeson and chris o\u2019dowd and directed by john michael mcdonagh grossed $ 72k in four theaters for an $ 18k pta .\nwith both their performances in the imitation game receiving nods from critics , keira knightley and benedict cumberbatch have earned nominations for the british independent film awards .\nin \u201ccalvary , \u201d gleeson will play a priest who becomes a pariah in his community after an abuse scandal . mcdonagh says , \u201cthere are probably films in development about priests which involve abuse . my remit is to do the opposite of what other people do , and i wanted to make a film about a good priest . \u201d the film marks a break from his debut , saying that it\u2019s \u201cin the same darkly comedic vein as \u2018the guard , \u2019 but with a much more serious and dramatic narrative . \u201d\nthe film also includes infrequent portrayals of drug use . in one scene a man in a pub bathroom snorts cocaine , and in another two men share a cannabis joint . however , the film as a whole neither promotes nor encourages drug misuse . there are references to domestic violence and one character is seen with a bruised eye . there are also a number of dialogue references to suicide , but neither the individual references nor the film as a whole encourages suicide .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\nwhen you\u2019re making a film , you\u2019re trying to convince the irish audience , \u2018no , it\u2019s not like all those terrible irish movies you\u2019ve seen before . \u2019\n@ unamullally too right . and the irish film board = irish tax payer . but his films reflect his disgust at all things irish so no surprise .\nbilled as a dark comedy drama , mcdonagh ' s calvary began shooting in county sligo , ireland , this week and also includes domhnall gleeson ( anna karenina , true grit ) , pat shortt and david wilmot .\ncalvary opens with one the most excruciating lines of dialogue i can recall ever hearing in any film . spat through a confessional grille , it comes like a stinging slap on the face , both to the audience and to father james lavelle . cautiously , the priest turns the other cheek . in doing so , he implicitly extends an invitation to viewers to do the same .\nthe feature has received support from the irish film board with mcdonagh and octagon films offered a \u20ac975 , 000 production loan in the last round of ifb funding .\nconfessional : the film starts with father james expecting to hear a normal confession , only to hear a man abused by a dead priest threatening to murder him .\na romantic short film , date : time , was written by philip shanahan and directed by paul corey . it features local actors mark griffin and erica murray .\n\u201cthe film made me think about redemption . and that\u2019s a good thing . it may seem bleak , but i don\u2019t think it is a bleak story . \u201d\ncalvary is infused with much the same wild - west - of - ireland flavour , though this time the base note is a lament for a nation left rudderless having lost faith in economic prosperity and the catholic church .\ndepictions of ireland have long been mired in cliche . now jimmy ' s hall ' s , the story of 1930s activist jimmy gralton , and calvary , an unflinching look at the ailing celtic tiger , break new ground\ncalvary was awarded a \u20ac1 million production loan in the third quarter of 2012 , while the guard received a \u20ac600 , 000 production loan in 2009 , as well as \u20ac125 , 000 funding from a regional support fund .\nboth films were shot on location in ireland , boasted a primarily irish cast and employed irish crew . calvary earned \u20ac1 . 6 million at the irish box office , while the guard took in more than \u20ac4 million .\nlike , i\u2019m not a big fan of irish movies . i don\u2019t find them to be technically that accomplished and i don\u2019t find them that intelligent . i\u2019m trying to get away from the description of the movie as an irish film . it\u2019s not an irish film . it\u2019s just set in ireland with lots of irish characters .\nset in county sligo on the west coast of ireland , calvary confronts the impact of the clerical sex - abuse scandal on the church in ireland and the role of the church in increasingly secular , post - christian ireland .\nfox searchlight has acquired u . s . rights and select international rights to john michael mcdonagh\u2019s dramedy \u201ccalvary , \u201d which premiered jan . 19 at the sundance film festival . the deal , which was made for a reported $ 2 . 5 million , marks the second acquisition for fox searchlight in as many days . the distrib also bought worldwide rights to mike cahill\u2019s sci - fi mystery \u201ci origins . \u201d \u201ccalvary\u201d stars brendan gleeson as a good - natured priest whose world is put into disarray after being threatened during a confession . pic co - stars chris o\u2019dowd ( \u201cbridesmaids\u201d ) and kelly reilly ( \u201cflight\u201d ) .\n\u201cwe\u2019ve found the perfect home for the film and are thrilled to be working with steve and nancy and their wonderful team at fox searchlight , \u201d said fernandez marengo .\none of my favourites , a great film , gleeson shows his amazing acting abilities in places . heart renching , and funny . a 5 * movie for me .\ninterestingly , john mcdonagh ' s decided his films aren ' t irish at the exact point he doesn ' t need irish taxpayers to fund his next bad film .\nas an incorrigible cinophile and a life - long catholic , there are few things that fill me with as much trepidation as watching a film about a catholic priest .\nbrendan gleeson delivers \u201ca truly sensational performance\u201d ( total film ) in this \u201cwickedly funny black comedy\u201d ( time out ) from acclaimed writer - director john michael mcdonagh ( the guard ) . when a good priest ( gleeson ) is threatened by a mysterious member of his parish , he feels sinister forces closing in and begins to wonder if he will have the courage to face his own personal calvary .\nshout out : one scene has a shot of a newspaper clipping referring to\ntwo hitmen hunted over dublin murders\n. this is a reference to in bruges , which was directed by the brother of calvary ' s director .\nthe first time i saw calvary , i assumed it was inspector stanton : and furthermore , this would be foreshadowing his reveal as father lavelle ' s eventual killer . i largely based this assumption on their conversation regarding the webley :\na thing of rich and raw beauty isn ' t usually found in cinemas at this time of year . it ' s predominantly a period when brash blockbusters try to numb our minds and perfunctory cash grabs attempt to pry open our wallets . but john michael mcdonagh ' s calvary defies this logic vehemently . it ' s a film that ' s imbued with staggering gorgeousness , verisimilitude and a whole heap of panache . not to oversell it , but calvary is to john michael mcdonagh what in bruges was to his brother , martin . it is , and i predict will be , one of the finest films of the year .\ncalvary , which comes hailed as the most significant irish film in years , announces its subject with a bang , or rather , an unprintable first line of dialogue in a confession box . \u201cwell , that\u2019s certainly a startling opening line ! \u201d says our main character , father james ( brendan gleeson ) , to the lost soul spilling the beans about a terrible childhood of abuse by irish catholic priests .\nthe film transcends its action , branching out into a poignant , often scathing , and even occasionally blackly humorous meditation on the human condition - at its best and worst .\ncalvary suffers some because of its oversized ensemble , with some characters not having enough screen time to stand out . but reilly is good as the priest\u2019s daughter whose own troubles are partly connected to his . as the film reaches its conclusion \u2014 and the question of james\u2019s killer ( or whether he\u2019ll carry out his threat ) still unknown \u2014 mcdonagh doesn\u2019t try to provide sunlight amidst the grey skies . but remarkably , calvary does manage to find a slender consolation at the end that suggests how imperfect people like fiona can still bring some grace into the world . it\u2019s not much , but in mcdonagh\u2019s universe a little hope goes a long way .\nthe sundance film festival , a program of the sundance institute , is one of the largest independent film festivals in the united states and takes place annually in park city , utah . the 2014 festival will be held from january 16th to 26th . the festival awards jury and audience awards across drama , documentary and short film . one hundred and nineteen feature - length films , representing 32 countries and 51 first - time filmmakers , and 65 shorts were screened at the 2013 festival . for more information , see urltoken .\nmcdonagh says that he was originally going to structure his film according to the stations of the cross , the 12 episodes in the passion of christ traditionally represented in images for the purpose of worship . \u201cthat\u2019s too many stations , \u201d he says . \u201cit would make a much longer movie , like a lars von trier film in 12 chapters . \u201d\ncalvary\u2019s father james ( brendan gleeson ) is a good priest who is faced with sinister and troubling circumstances brought about by a mysterious member of his parish . although he continues to comfort his own fragile daughter ( kelly reilly ) and reach out to help members of his church with their various scurrilous moral \u2013 and often comic \u2013 problems , he feels sinister and troubling forces closing in , and begins to wonder if he will have the courage to face his own personal calvary .\ni ' ve seen this film 3 times now , and i think it ' s fairly certain that there is nothing within its text that substantiates a confirmed answer to this .\nhowever , once you ' ve watch the film again ( with the perspective of knowing who the culprit is ) , you begin to interpret the behavior of the players differently .\ngleeson \u2014 appropriately garbed in clerical black \u2014 and mcdonagh sit in a conference room at a hotel in boston , where they have been conducting interviews promoting the film . they are both in high spirits . the film has debuted in ireland , home of dublin native gleeson and where london resident mcdonagh was born , and they are pleased by the response .\nwe\u2019re extremely pleased with the fantastic word of mouth and critical acclaim rich hill has received so far , \u201d said the orchard svp of film & tv paul davidson . \u201cwe\u2019re excited to expand the number of engagements over the coming weeks to give audiences the opportunity to experience this engaging film . \u201d rich hill will be available via vod beginning august 5 .\nleaning on the fourth wall : the film makes a number of self - referential comments through dialogue . father james and dr harte comment on the character\nroles\nthey play . veronica brennan says that she ' s always wanted to be an actress . toward the end of the film , james and his daughter talk about a third - act twist .\ncalvary is a 2014 irish black comedy , and the second written and directed by john michael mcdonagh ( his first being the guard ) . it stars brendan gleeson as father james , as well as an ensemble cast of irish and british actors .\nthe film which also stars sean harris , charlie murphy and david wilmot is about a british solider who following a riot on the streets of belfast is accidentally abandoned by his unit .\nthe film charts the journey of o\u2019riordan\u2019s sister joanne as she travels to new york to give the keynote speech at the un\u2019s international telecommunication union , despite being born with no limbs .\ncalvary is a rare piece of work in cinema , although i\u2019m an atheist it doesn\u2019t mean i can\u2019t enjoy stories about faith , i do and especially if one is as good written as calvary . it\u2019s a film which is meant to be dissected and redissected\u2026and redissected once again . understandably , this will not be everyone\u2019s cup of tea , maybe coming off as far too brutal in its satire . that said , calvary is a dark comedy taken to its satirical extreme . it\u2019s like a modern day luis bu\u00f1uel movie . john michael mcdonagh made a classic and sure will be talked about for a long time . the performance of brendon gleeson was one of the best i\u2019ve seen from him and one of the best performances this year . the cinematography of larry smith was once again admirable who mixes up painterly compositions and skewed angles ( which i absolutely loved ) with flair . the soundtrack is also fantastically composed and bought it immediately on itunes !\nfriends who\u2019ve seen the film , some of them already two or three times , have noticed the same effect . from the first frame to the last , \u201ccalvary\u201d has an understated power \u2013 a blend of everyday pain , faith , despair , humor , candor , bitterness , and forgiveness \u2013 that brands itself onto the heart with spare simplicity . it\u2019s also the best portrayal of a good priest in impossible circumstances i\u2019ve seen in several decades .\nchris hemsworth kicks off filming for the star - studded men in black spin - off as he cuts a sharp figure in london . . . 21 years after the first film hit screens\nmy favourite episode is the one that sees ted and dougal forced by bishop brennan to protest outside the local cinema because it is screening a controversial film , the passion of st tibulus .\ncalvary ' s father james ( brendan gleeson ) is a good priest who is faced with sinister and troubling circumstances brought about by a mysterious member of his parish . although he continues to comfort his own fragile daughter ( kelly reilly ) and reach out to help members of his church with their various scurrilous moral - and often comic - problems , he feels sinister and troubling forces closing in , and begins to wonder if he will have the courage to face his own personal calvary . ( c ) fox searchlight\nthe tension of calvary is fitful at best , and much of the movie trips into silliness , but in brendan gleeson - - in his proud bearing and his lamenting gaze - - we see the plight of the lonely believer in a world beyond belief .\ncalvary , the terrific new film from writer - director john michael mcdonagh , is a whodunnit with a difference , a black comedy with aspirations , merrily lifting its name from the small hill outside jerusalem where jesus was slain . calvary : the title serves notice and puts the viewer on guard . it flashes like the final destination on the front of a bus , as mcdonagh proceeds to steer us back and forth along the west coast of ireland , veering between the profane and the sacred , the damned and divine . we know where this is leading , whether we like it or not . your best advice is to sit back , hang on to your rosary beads and enjoy the ride while it lasts .\n\u00a9 2010 the irish film & television academy . first floor , 4 - 5 harcourt road , dublin 2 , ireland . tel : + 353 1 4788001 : fax : + 353 1 4788977\nthis is a dark film in every way . if it has a thread then it is one that has to be sought out and really concentrated upon , bewildering characters playing hide and seek .\nlos angeles - - mattoon native damien leveck is preparing to direct a short horror film , \u201cthe cleansing hour , \u201d and is raising funds via kickstarter to help bring this project to fruition .\ncalvary honestly , for those of you who haven ' t seen this film , go and see it . it ' s absolutely fantastic ! brendan gleeson gives a stunning performance as a troubled priest who has to come to terms with something shocking that he has been told will happen . it paints a brutal , realistic and yet original picture of modern ireland . all the characters in the film are exaggerated representations of the types of people you get in ireland today imo . the story is touching , emotional , real and unforgettable . my favourite film of 2014 so far . if you liked in bruges or the guard or even seven psychopaths , see this film . it ' s darker than all three of those films and it ' s hard to watch at times but honestly , it ' s worth it . a beautifully dark film , with lashings of black humour and some lovely one liners . just make sure to laugh at the appropriate parts , some viewers in my cinema laughed at the opening line ! ( once / if you see it you ' ll understand ) i hope audiences outside of the uk and ireland can enjoy it . i implore you to see it . 9 / 10 , a must see !\nhallelujah , thank heavens , mcdonagh ' s film is terrific ( at least until the denouement , when it rather strains for grandeur ) . just like the guard ( the director ' s 2011 debut ) , calvary boasts a sharp sense of place and a deep love of language . it ' s puckish and playful , mercurial and clever , rattling with gallows laughter as it paints a portrait of an irish community that is at once intimate and alienated .\nhe also says christians do feel , to some extent , that they are \u201cfair game\u201d for supposedly comic attacks and that they feel they are getting \u201cbattered a bit\u201d . as a corrective to this , i\u2019d suggest catching up with calvary \u2013 a film that came out last year starring brendan gleeson as a decent priest who is not only held up as a good man , but also presented as the moral centre of an anarchic , vulgar and unhappy secular world .\ngood shepherd : father james is a good man who tries to watch over his congregation . through the course of the film , however , he discovers that no one wants to be looked after .\nalso , as to the answer to who killed the dog , it is said that at the film\u2019s premiere , mcdonagh gave a hint by pointing out dr . harte\u2019s bandaged hand in the epilogue .\nsome of the trainees have already received\u00ac\u2020new opportunities and offers to work on professional productions around the country , which has cemented the early success of the film limerick training scheme before it has even completed .\nwhen asked for comment , james hickey , chief executive of the irish film board , did not address mcdonagh\u2019s comments , but did stand behind the board\u2019s support of mcdonagh\u2019s films . he told urltoken :\nbrendan gleeson is an actor beloved by directors ; he\u2019s collaborated with the likes of anthony minghella and martin scorsese . but perhaps no filmmaker has served him better than john michael mcdonagh , who cast gleeson as the lead in the dark comedy \u201c the guard , \u201d which went on to become the most profitable film in irish history . now , gleeson is earning some of the best reviews of a very heralded career for his new collaboration with mcdonagh , \u201c calvary . \u201d\na limited number of tickets for the opening gala screening of calvary are currently on sale at urltoken and are selling fast . festival season tickets , gift vouchers and tickets for other selected jdiff galas at the savoy cinema are also on sale now from the official jdiff site .\ncalvary blew me away at the screening yesterday . it surprisingly reminded me a lot of the 1961 movie \u2018viridiana\u2019 from legendary spanish director luis bu\u00f1uel . after the screening i talked with people about the plot and meaning , i want to thank those people for giving me a proper understanding of the movie . i decided to write it all down and since my enemy analysis was a great success , i decided to make a second but smaller analysis of calvary . i hope you enjoy / understand it and remember it is my interpretation of this movie .\nwith \u201ci origins , \u201d which searchlight announced it also plans to launch this year , the company now has eight potential releases in 2014 , including \u201ccalvary , \u201d the second feature for mcdonagh , whose debut \u201cthe guard\u201d was acquired by sony pictures classics at sundance in 2011 .\nfull credit to mcdonagh for keeping these pieces in play . the london - born film - maker made a bracing debut with 2011 ' s the guard , casting gleeson as an unruly cop at large in connemara . and yet calvary , praise be , is on a different plane altogether . here is a film with a deep love of language and a sharp sense of place ; a puckish little tease that first purrs with pleasure and then shows us its claws . mcdonagh bills this as the second part of his\nglorified suicide trilogy\n, although it might more readily be viewed as a rueful wake for the catholic church , mired in scandal , its authority waning .\n' calvary ' , directed by john michael mcdonagh , is a blackly comic drama about a good priest tormented by his community . it is mcdonagh\u2019s follow - up to 2011\u2019s ' the guard ' and again stars brendan gleeson ( ' albert nobbs ' , ' studs ' ) , chris o\u2019dowd ( ' the sapphires ' , ' bridesmaids ' ) , aidan gillen ( ' mister john ' , ' shadow dancer ' ) , dylan moran ( ' good vibrations ' , ' a film with me in it ' ) , domhnall gleeson ( ' sensation ' , ' shadow dancer ' ) and killian scott ( ' good vibrations ' , ' black ice ' ) . ' calvary ' is produced by octagon films and was filmed in sligo and dublin .\ntackles weighty issues with humour , intelligence , and sensitivity .\non metacritic , the film has a score of 77 out of 100 , based on 42 critics , indicating\ngenerally favourable reviews\n.\nwherever james looks , his parishioners are self - absorbed , self - righteous or just plain clueless . there\u2019s a gentle comedy to these scenes , but calvary \u2019s sombre tone intentionally undercuts the laughs : for james , there\u2019s nothing funny about his failure to elevate his fellow man .\ncalvary is a different proposition from his black comedy the guard , from 2011 , in which gleeson played a highly unconventional cop . it ' s bleaker and dourer \u2013 and less anti - clerical than you might expect . there are fewer laugh lines and zingers . occasionally it looks as if it is straining for maturity . the film begins with a character being reproved for irony , and ends with that same character reproving someone else for cynicism . it ' s as if mcdonagh is having an angry argument with himself about tone , attitude and about the subject matter to which these things are to be applied : modern , post - catholic ireland . calvary makes an interesting companion piece to stephen frears ' s philomena . it presents us with a satirical image of a country which is cracked and fractured into pieces , a crazy - paving that isn ' t fitting together . without the powerfully charismatic gleeson , i suspect , the film itself wouldn ' t fit together .\nscreen international is the essential resource for the international film industry . subscribe now for monthly editions , awards season weeklies , access to the screen international archive and supplements including stars of tomorrow and world of locations ."]}

keaton - lloyd caliber of comedy .\ncaption : a narrow escape ! william boyd and louis wolheim in one of the many thrilling scenes of\ntwo arabian knights\n, a united artists feature in which these two , doughboy\nbuddies\n, flee from a german prison camp only to be drawn into greater complication in the land of harems . the producing organization is a new united artists unit , caddo , productions , and the director is lewis milestone .\ncaption : william boyd and louis wolheim , in the foreground , as\nprivate phelps\nand\nsergeant o ' gaffney\n, in\ntwo arabian knights\n, a new united artists feature supervised by john w . considine jr . and filmed under the banner of caddo productions , new united artists unit . the director is lewis milestone .\ntheseus , duke of athens , imprisons arcite and palamon , two knights from thebes ( another city in ancient greece ) . from their prison , the knights see and fall in love with theseus\u2019s sister - in - law , emelye . through the intervention of a friend , arcite is freed , but he is banished from athens . he returns in disguise and becomes a page in emelye\u2019s chamber . palamon escapes from prison , and the two meet and fight over emelye . theseus apprehends them and arranges a tournament between the two knights and their allies , with emelye as the prize . arcite wins , but he is accidentally thrown from his horse and dies . palamon then marries emelye .\ntwo american soldiers are captured by the germans on the western front during world war one and escape a pow camp only to stumble into further life - threatening adventures when they come across an arabian king ' s daughter while on the lam .\ntwo arabian knights ,\nthe current picture at the paramount theatre , is a genuinely clever comedy in which the principals scorn the usual fractious tactics and rely on intelligent acting . the two actors who supply the fun in this bright piece of work are william boyd , the hero of demille ' s\nvolga boatman ,\nand louis wolheim , a stage and screen portrayer of choice villainy who figured as captain flagg in the play ,\nwhat price glory .\nview full article in timesmachine \u00bb\ntwo arabian knights weirdly makes unquestioned heroes out of people who , during the first world war , both abandon loyalty to their country to fight for preservation of self ( very bold for a film released less than a decade after that war actually ended ) and insult multiple countries and cultures along the way ( icky ! , especially when you throw in the whitewashing of actors in roles of color ) .\nwith this film , frank lloyd became one of only two directors to win the best director oscar without their movie also being nominated for best picture . the only other film to win a directing oscar without a best picture nomination was two arabian knights ( 1927 ) , which won the only oscar ever given for comedy direction to lewis milestone . both lloyd and milestone won additional best director oscars for directing best picture winners , lloyd for cavalcade ( 1933 ) and milestone for all quiet on the western front ( 1930 ) .\nuddy comedies do not come better . during the great war , two squabbling soldiers are captured by the germans . they escape , rescuing an arabian princess in the process . cute film with a strong cast and a lively pace . one of the early silents produced by howard hughes .\n\u201cthese films have incredible significance within the history of american film , \u201d said professor francisco menendez , unlv film department chair . \u201c the racket is considered to be the first feature - length gangster film and two arabian knights received its academy recognition when the oscars still split up comedy and drama . professor hart wegner worked for several years to bring the hughes collection to unlv , and we see it as the cornerstone for a serious film research facility . \u201d\nin this silent film , two american soldiers fight to escape the germans while squabbling over a beautiful harem girl during world war i .\nmasino noted that the films were in\nfairly rough condition ,\n( 6 ) and although\ntwo arabian knights\nis excellent quality throughout most of the film , there are a few instances where mild mottling is apparent and a couple of scenes where the mottling does interfere with the viewing . as usual , robert israel ' s orchestra score is superb . you ' ll particulary like the lovely melody during boyd ' s and astor ' s lovemaking scenes .\ncaption : william boyd and louis wolheim in a scene from\ntwo arabian knights\n, united artists production . boyd and wolheim , in this film , are a carefree team of doughboys who wade through a series fo hilarious situations and adventures in arabia after escaping from a german prison . mary astor is the heroine of the story , which was filmed by caddo productions , new united artists ' unit , under the direction of john w . considine , jr .\ndirector lewis milestone ' s 1927 comedy follows the exploits of two american soldiers during wwi . starring william boyd , mary astor and louis wolheim .\nsplits rko into two entities : rko pictures inc . and rko theatres corp . he sells rko pictures to a subsidy or general tire and rubber .\nthe emir orders the americans killed for daring to despoil his daughter . shevket , who hated phelps at first sight , is ready and willing to carry out the order personally . so phelps and o\u2019gaffney are alone in arabia with prices on their heads . what do they do ? if you guessed \u201csquabble\u201d , you are absolutely correct ! two arabian knights is a darling comedy with nary a false step . the plot is sheer nuttiness , the acting is pitch perfect and there is just enough slapstick to keep things interesting .\nthe films , which have not been seen for more than 50 years , are digitally restored through tcm funding by special arrangement with flicker alley . each has a new score by composer robert israel . two arabian knights ( 1927 ) , which won the only academy award given for best comedy direction , is about a pair of roughnecks who pose as arabs to escape from a world war i prison camp . the racket ( 1928 ) , nominated for best picture , is an expose of chicago gangsterdom . the mating call ( 1928 ) includes many typical hughes touches .\ntwo arabian knights is the oldest surviving film produced by howard hughes . it was thought lost for many decades , until a print was found in hughes ' vaults after his death ( unfortunately , the print is badly decayed in some scenes ) . none other than a young boris karloff has a small part as the purser on the russian ship that takes phelps and o ' gaffney to arabia . this film won an academy award for\nbest director , comedy picture\nfor lewis milestone . this award was never given again , instead being fused with\nbest director , dramatic picture\nto form a single best director award .\n: there may be no marriage . mirza ' s servant has told me strange things of two americans - - he has even said she unveiled her face before one of the infidels .\n( 1926 ) . ( the two films share a common writer , james t . o ' donohoe , and , in each , the two male leads enjoy the same bickering relationship . ) according to higham , hughes not only agreed to produce the picture but eventually put $ 500 , 000 of his own money into it . he cast louis wolheim , william boyd ( later to play hopalong cassidy ) and mary astor in the leads and made a deal with jesse l . lasky to release the film .\nrelates the adventures of a sergeant ( wolheim ) and a private ( boyd ) who are captured by the germans and escape by disguising themselves as arabs . dispatched to the middle east , both doughboys fall for a beautiful arabian princess ( astor ) , but must deal with a gang of cut - throats led by her father .\nduring world war i , soldier w . daingerfield phelps iii ( william boyd ) and sergeant peter o ' gaffney ( louis wolheim ) are captured by the germans . initially at odds , the two prisoners of war bond and plot an escape . the white robes they use as camouflage in the snow - covered landscape make them look like arabs . taking advantage of their disguise , the two men sneak onto a cargo ship bound for arabia , where they both fall for mirza ( mary astor ) , a soon - to - be - married harem girl .\nthe next day a boat arrives at the ship to take mirza home . this is the first encounter between phelps and mirza ' s betrothed - shevket ben ali - played handsomely and threateningly by ian keith . no words are exchanged - the two simply glare at one another - no words necessary .\nit seems to me this snappy and sexy late silent \u2014 it opened in new york in december 1927 , two months after \u201cthe jazz singer\u201d \u2014 is a much superior film to not only its suprisingly threadbare oscar - winning successor , but is also better than william wellman\u2019s nonmusical remake \u201croxie hart\u201d ( 1942 ) .\nit is on the ship that we encounter the beautiful and very young ( she was 21 at the time ) mary astor as the arabian princess mirza . why she is on a small boat with a makeshift sail alongside this freighter , we do not know . however , the small boat capsizes dumping her and several others into the ocean , and phelps and o ' gaffney dive in to rescue her .\nin september 1928 warner bros . pictures purchased a majority interest in first national pictures , and from that point on all\nfirst national\nproductions were actually made under warner bros . control , even though the two companies continued to retain separate identities until the mid - ' 30s , after which time\na warner bros . - first national picture\nwas often used .\ntwo subsequent plays flopped , and watkins went to toil as a hollywood screenwriter \u2014 her most notable co - credit there was the classic newspaper comedy \u201clibeled lady . \u201d she moved to florida in 1940 , became a reclusive christian scientist , and died in 1969 . it was only after this that bob fosse was able to obtain rights for his stage musical from her heirs .\nwhen the lover moves to dump the grasping roxie , she plugs him in a moment of passion . and it\u2019s up to her chump husband to keep roxie from the electic chair . intrestingly , the role is played not by a nebbishly actor as in the two later movies \u2014 george chandler in 1942 and john c . reilly sixty years later \u2014 but by the handsome victor varconi , who is far more attractive than the wealthier pallette .\nprincess mirza ( mary astor ) is engaged to shevket ben ali ( ian keith ) but she finds phelps much , much nicer . however , she is obedient to her father and will go through with her marriage . two problems present themselves . first , phelps is not a guy who gives up easily . second , mirza\u2019s servants have seen her canoodling with phelps and have reported the unseemly goings - on to her father and her fianc\u00e9 .\nmary astor , who could be a powerhouse when given the chance , is pretty much there for window dressing . she\u2019s a lovely , if not exactly authentic , arabian nights princess complete with veil . oh and boris karloff ? he is in the film for about 12 seconds as the purser of the russian ship . keep your eyes peeled , blink and you miss him . the exotic locales are pretty much by the book and fodder for gags with no real character to them . no matter , because cast and audience are having a ball .\nthe host pokes fun at the cook , riding at the back of the company , blind drunk . the cook is unable to honor the host\u2019s request that he tell a tale , and the manciple criticizes him for his drunkenness . the manciple relates the legend of a white crow , taken from the roman poet ovid\u2019s metamorphoses and one of the tales in the arabian nights . in it , phoebus\u2019s talking white crow informs him that his wife is cheating on him . phoebus kills the wife , pulls out the crow\u2019s white feathers , and curses it with blackness .\none of the first things howard hughes built was a motorized bicycle , using parts from a dismantled steam engine . well , no pressure , our bikes are manual and we don ' t have any dismantled steam engines lying around , but what we do have are miles and miles of trails to take you to the ocean or as far inland as your heart desires . just show up at the toy box , also known as building 18 , sign your name , don your helmut , and you ' re off . a skid or two ' s ok , but no wheelies , please .\nprivate phelps and sergeant mcgaffney , who are constantly scrapping until they meet a common foe , are taken prisoners by germans during the war , and failing many attempts to escape , they succeed in slipping out in arab disguise . finding themselves on a steamer bound for jaffa , mcgaffney , phelps , and the ship ' s captain discover themselves rivals for mirza , an arab girl of rank . young phelps makes progress with her by sign language , even to the point of making her remove her veil . in jaffa , a spying servant informs shevket , her fianc\u00e9 , of her acquaintance with the american , and her father , the emir , plots to imprison them , but they are saved by the american consul . the emir makes the soldiers knights so that phelps can fight a duel with shevket ; but in a series of escapades , the boys foil their enemies and abscond with the girl .\nthe merchant reflects on the great difference between the patient griselde of the clerk\u2019s tale and the horrible shrew he has been married to for the past two months . the host asks him to tell a story of the evils of marriage , and he complies . against the advice of his friends , an old knight named january marries may , a beautiful young woman . she is less than impressed by his enthusiastic sexual efforts , and conspires to cheat on him with his squire , damien . when blind january takes may into his garden to copulate with her , she tells him she wants to eat a pear , and he helps her up into the pear tree , where she has sex with damien . pluto , the king of the faeries , restores january\u2019s sight , but may , caught in the act , assures him that he must still be blind . the host prays to god to keep him from marrying a wife like the one the merchant describes .\nbecause he also does carpentry , the reeve takes offense at the miller\u2019s tale of a stupid carpenter , and counters with his own tale of a dishonest miller . the reeve tells the story of two students , john and alayn , who go to the mill to watch the miller grind their corn , so that he won\u2019t have a chance to steal any . but the miller unties their horse , and while they chase it , he steals some of the flour he has just ground for them . by the time the students catch the horse , it is dark , so they spend the night in the miller\u2019s house . that night , alayn seduces the miller\u2019s daughter , and john seduces his wife . when the miller wakes up and finds out what has happened , he tries to beat the students . his wife , thinking that her husband is actually one of the students , hits the miller over the head with a staff . the students take back their stolen goods and leave .\nthe events taking place on the ship provide several entertaining moments . unconscious , mirza is taken by the despicable turkish captain to a cabin . his intentions are made clear by the panning of the camera from her feet , along her body , to her head - so the viewer may see how the skipper is talking a lustful view of his unexpected passenger . of course , phelps and o ' gaffney are soon vying to be the first to see her without her veil , and their shenanigans to outsmart each other provide some of the film ' s most humorous moments . for example , the two are waiting for their clothes to dry after their rescue plunge - both intending to go check on mirza as soon as the clothes are wearable . o ' gaffney gets the idea that he will go into the bath , close the door , and soak phelps ' uniform in the tub so he can get out the door faster . phelps catches on , and once o ' gaffney is fully dressed to go , he pushes the sergeant into the tub full of water .\nthe host is dismayed by the tragic injustice of the physician\u2019s tale , and asks the pardoner to tell something merry . the other pilgrims contradict the host , demanding a moral tale , which the pardoner agrees to tell after he eats and drinks . the pardoner tells the company how he cheats people out of their money by preaching that money is the root of all evil . his tale describes three riotous youths who go looking for death , thinking that they can kill him . an old man tells them that they will find death under a tree . instead , they find eight bushels of gold , which they plot to sneak into town under cover of darkness . the youngest goes into town to fetch food and drink , but brings back poison , hoping to have the gold all to himself . his companions kill him to enrich their own shares , then drink the poison and die under the tree . his tale complete , the pardoner offers to sell the pilgrims pardons , and singles out the host to come kiss his relics . the host infuriates the pardoner by accusing him of fraud , but the knight persuades the two to kiss and bury their differences .\namericans sgt . peter o ' gaffney and one of his soldiers , privileged\npretty boy\nw . daingerfield phelps iii ( who is always drawing caricatures ) , are captured and interred at a pow camp in northern germany near the end of wwi . their relationship has always been an antagonistic one based on what phelps sees as o ' gaffney pushing him around . o ' gaffney ' s rank is despite being wanted by the police back home as a con man . it is because of these differences that their resulting friendship at camp is so unlikely , the friendship based on both having the nerve to attempt to escape . on a snow covered day , they do manage to escape , in part by stealing white robes to camouflage themselves against the snow . in their adventures and misadventures on the outside in trying to get to safety , those adventures which include being mistaken for arab prisoners , they find themselves as stowaways on board a cargo ship headed to arabia . it is there that they meet a beautiful arab woman named mirza , who they save from drowning . they are both immediately smitten by her , which is why they are so disappointed to learn that she is betrothed in an arranged marriage to the ruthless shevket ben ali . as the two try to reach the safety of an american consulate , they also decide to try and liberate mirza , which may be more dangerous than fighting in the trenches in the battlefields of france .\na growing source of silent era film information . this listing is from the progressive silent film list by carl bennett . copyright \u00a9 1999 -

french effort , financed by rai and netflix . the distribution was also unusual , in that it simultaneously premiered in italian movie theaters and was made available for online streaming in the us and latin america on the same day . the movie version will be available on italian netflix in may 2016 , and netflix has also commissioned a 10 - part tv series based on the film to premiere globally in 2017 .\nsuburra means \u201cunder the city\u201d . the centre of ancient rome was on palatine hill where the aristocracy had luxurious villas . down the hill was this ghetto called suburra full of poor people and an incredible amount of places where you can drink and have sex . the rich people would go down there to get drunk and have fun with whores . and it was also the place where they met to do dirty business .\nthe first italian production from netflix , led by ceo reed hastings , will be created by cattleya , the film and tv producer behind such tv hits as sky italia ' s gomorrah series , and romanzo criminale , in collaboration with italian public service broadcaster rai .\nthen , fairly quickly , we realize that this film might have more in common with the ugliness of camorra than the glam of the great beauty . throw in a corrupt cardinal hiding out in the vatican , and now it also recalls the godfather part iii .\ncattleya has begun development of the series , with production planned to start in the second half of 2016 . suburra will premiere on netflix everywhere netflix is available . rai will air the series after the debut on netflix in italy .\nproduction of the series is planned to start in the second half of 2016 with plans to premiere globally on netflix in 2017 . rai will air the \u201csuburra\u201d show on one of its generalist channels in italy after it goes out on netflix .\ncineuropa is the first european portal dedicated to cinema and audiovisual in 4 languages . with daily news , interviews , data bases , in -

episode drama made in partnership with italy\u2019s rai . while netflix has embarked on originals in france ( marseille ) , and elsewhere , this is the first time it\u2019s moving into the space in italy . a worldwide debut is set for 2017 .\nsuburra , a rain - soaked hyper - stylised introduction to italian filmmaker stefano sollima , is resplendently neo - noir - a crime thriller that may initially begin a meretricious homage set to the backdrop of select songs by french electronic act m83 but ends having embedded itself into the flesh under your skin ; there it stays .\nsuburra trifft den ton eines fast schon intimen gangsterdramas auf den punkt , muss sich aber dann doch leider mit abz\u00fcgen vor allem im dialog und den darstellern abfinden . manche dialoge wurden ihren teilweise steif agierenden darstellern doch sehr h\u00f6lzern r\u00fcbergebracht , so dass man teilweise aus dieser eigentlich faszinierenden welt wieder etwas rausgezogen wird . auch die laufzeit h\u00e4tte gerne einen ticken k\u00fcrzer sein k\u00f6nnen .\nplacido said he was hoping to work with netflix again in the future following \u201c suburra , \u201d for which he directed the first two episodes . \u201cnetflix is a game - changer in italy . they gave me a tremendous freedom to cast actors who are not big names \u2013 some were even unknown \u2013 as long as they fit the roles , \u201d said placido .\nrome \u2013 netflix has inked a deal to produce its first original italian series , the 10 - episode \u201csuburra , \u201d about ties between mob and politics in contempo rome . the first italo production from netflix is being produced by cattleya , the prominent italo shingle behind internationally exported tv hits , including sky italia\u2019s \u201cgomorrah\u201d and \u201cromanzo criminale\u201d ( \u201ccrime novel\u201d ) skeins .

urba , \u201d as the language was moving towards the volgare . clusters of consonants like rb turned into rr ( or mn into mm , etc . ) , in a process known as \u201cassimilazione e raddoppiamento . \u201d anyway\u2026\nstefano sollima\u2019s brash and brutal movie is a melodrama of political corruption and gangster turf wars in rome \u2013 set satirically at the fraught moment of spiritual crisis when pope benedict xvi decided to abdicate . it\u2019s a film that could conceivably have worked as well , or better , as a boxset binge on tv \u2013 indeed , sollima also directed the acclaimed mafia series gomorrah \u2013 but lays down the law confidently enough on the big screen : there\u2019s a supermarket shootout and a getaway scene ( following a slaying in a spa ) that are handled with terrific \u00e9lan .\nnot at all . from my point of view it\u2019s a little bit a clich\u00e9 . i think suburra is much more realistic in its portrayal of the mafia . a mafioso is not just a man who goes around speaking sicilian . it\u2019s a business model where you don\u2019t respect the law as part of the business model . in italy we call it the mafia but you have the same in an incredible amount of countries . they just call it something different .\nstylistically , the film ' s influences are plain to see : martin scorsese , brian de palma , michael mann , to name but a few . like his peers , sollima displays a knack for refining material and balancing plotlines that would seem overbearing in lesser hands . there ' s almost a televisual feel pertained by the interweaving character encounters with scriptwriters stefano rulli and sandro petraglia ( adapting carlo bonini and giancarlo de cataldo ' s novel ) moving them around like chess pieces . in this way , there ' s even a scent of coen in the air .\nqui c ' \u00e8 qualcuno che tutte le sere va a dormire col blu -

i look around rome and all the restaurants are full ! \u201d\nmalgradi is an upper - level politician who moves seamlessly between the two lives he leads : the life he presents to the world as a family man and respected politician ; and his other persona , which enjoys smoking crack cocaine while in the company of naked women who are young enough to be his daughters .\nthere\u2019s one scene where he\u2019s standing butt - naked on a third - floor balcony above piazza del popolo in the middle of this biblical deluge , pissing down on the street below . what to make of that , i wonder ?\ni thought either the director was saying , \u201clook ! these politicians , at their core , are just as brutti as the street criminals . \u201d or else he was animating the metaphor of , \u201cpoliticians are always pissing on us while trying to convince us that it\u2019s raining . \u201d\nmalgradi is also well - acquainted with some unsavory elements in the mafia , including a character known as the \u201cthe samurai , \u201d played by claudio amendola . no big surprise here , as this also mirrors real - world accusations of high - ranking members of italian parliament being deeply intertwined with the malavita . inevitably , the two worlds collide , launching the story into a descending spiral of chaos where every little turn leads to a greater tragedy . each character is caught up in his or her own self - made tempest with no positive outcomes in sight .\nthe plot is intricate and complex , but not difficult to follow . the director did a great job of keeping the overlapping storylines clear and tight inside the 2 hour running time . ( it\u2019s technically 2 hours and 15 minutes , but there are at least 15 minutes of credits at the end , just so you know . )\ni wonder if that was a conscious choice by the writer / director because conversely , the italian gangster , \u201cthe samurai , \u201d is portrayed as having excellent manners and better taste in clothes . hmm\u2026\ndoes everybody get their just desserts in the end ? well , you\u2019ll have to watch and decide for yourself . or you can wait until the tv series premieres and invite these characters into your suburban home on a weekly basis . you\u2019ll never think of life in the suburbs the same way again .\nliving in the caput mundi and trying to decipher italian culture for the english speaking world .\ni\u2019m reading the book right now . impressive the analogies with the enquiries on corruption in rome\u2026 the book \u201cromanzo criminale\u201d by the same author had the same story : book , movie , tv series . but i\u2019m sure that this new one on netflix will achieve much more .\nhi paola , and thanks for you comments . yes , i\u2019m looking forward to the netflix series , too . but i\u2019m always glad when italian films / books find an international audience . with all of the creative talent in italy , it\u2019s a shame that it doesn\u2019t happen more often .\nit\u2019s great to see foreign films getting the exposure they deserve through netflix . i enjoyed it thoroughly , well - acted , well - casted , a modern - day \u201cgodfather\u201d . i\u2019m impressed and looking forward to the series . outstanding musical score .\nthanks michael , and i agree with you on all points . i\u2019m looking forward to seeing the series , too .\nsince having our little one , my husband and i have only been to the cinema once ( we used to go all the time ) but you\u2019ve convinced me that i should get the nonni to babysit one evening soon so we can go and see this . hmmm , the ugliness of gomorrah meets glam of the great beauty , sounds gripping\u2026\nit\u2019s good . not easy to watch\u2013i felt myself cringing the whole time because it all seems so plausible . let me know what you think once you\u2019ve seen it !\nenter your email address to subscribe to my blog and receive notifications of new posts by email .\nplease log in again . the login page will open in a new window . after logging in you can close it and return to this page .\nthe movie , based on the book by giancarlo de cataldo and carlo bonini , tells the story of a grueling battle over a seaside town outside of rome which is to be developed into a gambling paradise . the story involves a corrupt member of parliament , filippo malgradi ( pierfrancesco favino ) ; number 8 ( alessandro borghi ) , the head of a powerful family that runs the territory ; and sebastiano ( elio germano ) , a young event organizer . it also involves corrupt religious leaders and rival mafiosi , including the samurai ( claudio amendola ) who represents the most feared faction of roman organized crime . the plot reveals an endemic system of corruption and rampant illegality on an international scale .\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 penske business media , llc . all rights reserved . hollywood\u2122 & design \u00a9 2018 hollywood chamber of commerce . the hollywood sign is a trademark and intellectual property of hollywood chamber of commerce . all rights reserved .\nthe second ways is if you are italian . i don ' t know if you heard about it , but not even a week ago the mayor of rome , ignazio marino resigned before the end of his mandate . during his government a lot of things happened : all the filth and the depravity which infected rome for years surfaced . an actual shadow governing body , which took the city by dint of threats and corruption . the main puppeteer was massimo carminati , founding member of the criminal organization called banda della magliana , and , after the dismissal of it , master artifex of\u2026\nstefano sollima ' s name has been thrust into the spotlight over the last few months after it was announced that he would be helming the unlikely sequel to sicario .\nstefano sollima ' s hugely ambitious crime thriller surveys the great institutions of italy - the catholic church , the government , big business - and connects them through italy ' s most infamous enterprise , organised crime . two mob families have put their usual conflicts on the back burner in anticipation of a favoured crooked politician gifting their district with a new casino . the scheme collapses due to a mix of sheer bad luck , simmering resentments and global politics , the latter represented by an ominous countdown to the seismic event not even the politicians seem to know is coming - the resignation of silvio berlusconi .\nstefano sollima versteht es wie auch schon bei\ngomorrha\nvor allem die kleinen dinge einer handlung gekonnt umzusetzen . so wei\u00df dieses kleine drama im mafiamillieu insbesondere durch seine menschlichkeit , die n\u00e4he zu den figuren und das \u00e4u\u00dferst authentische drumherum zu begeistern , ohne dabei jemals in kitsch oder \u00fcbertriebene gewalt abzudriften .\nstefan sollima ' s multi - layered journey through the crime industry of modern rome has the kind of production standards we ' d normally see from a high - end hollywood offering , and was clearly the calling card that landed sollima the sicario sequel , but despite its gripping though none - too - original narrative , it all has a slightly odd sheen .\nsolid crime drama . did drag in some parts , and felt like there was a little too much going on in it ' s story , but overall i enjoyed it ! can ' t wait to see what this director does with sicario 2 .\nan intense and sprawling mafioso epic . too sprawling . . . but damn it looks good .\ntoller mafiafilm aus italien . hat mich total gefesselt dazu noch der soundtrack von m83 ( das album hatte ich schon ) das war nat\u00fcrlich ein flash f\u00fcr sich mit diesen bildern und der stimmung . dann waren die darsteller echt gut gew\u00e4hlt , bekannt war mir jetzt keiner aber die hatten ihre rollen perfekt gespielt .\na collection of my favorite foreign films , including lots of underrated / unknown titles worth checking out . updated monthly . the list is\u2026\nit\u2019s brilliantly done \u2013 slick , sexy , dark \u2013 but that\u2019s not the only reason . it was also the talk of the town because the plot is painfully close to the bone .\nall the action takes place in a single week in rain - soaked rome . pierfrancesco favino plays filippo \u201cpippo\u201d malgradi , a crooked mp who wants to turn rome\u2019s ostia waterfront into an italian las vegas . after accidentally killing an underage prostitute , he finds himself being blackmailed and asks a gangster pal to bump off the blackmailer , inadvertently sparking brutal turf wars .\nnetflix is already making a spin - off series , while director stefano sollima has been lined up to direct the sequel to the 2015 hit sicario . we asked him whether italian politicians really do work hand in glove with gangsters , and whether he\u2019s ever met a mafioso\u2026\nthey were absolutely upset by it of course . what it\u2019s about is a really delicate problem for us so we had an incredible amount of discussion on the topics of the movie .\nclose . the day before our theatrical release in italy , the major of rome dismissed himself because of a huge scandal called \u201cmafia capitale\u201d involving money and the underworld . it\u2019s almost the same as we portrayed in the movie .\ni was born and raised in rome . i think this was one of the most interesting parts for me : to portray the darkest side of the eternal city . rome is much more complex than its image , than the touristy side .\nyour acclaimed tv series gomorrah was about organised crime in naples . how influenced are you by the godfather ?\nprobably it\u2019s number eight because he\u2019s the only one who\u2019s moved by deep feeling : by the dream he has to change his city and the love he has for his fianc\u00e9 . i never judge my characters . i love them all . what i try to do in the movie is make the character like he is in reality . in reality , you never have just black and white . you have an incredible amount of grey .\nno , just because of schedule issues . it\u2019ll be the first original netflix production in italian . i think they will keep just two of the same characters but i\u2019m not sure because i\u2019m not involved at all .\nyes , although i haven\u2019t signed yet . the idea of the producer is to make three standalone movies in the same world with two of the same characters : benicio del toro and josh brolin as alejandro and matt . so it will not be a direct sequel of sicario . i think it\u2019s cool and original .\nby clicking \u201csign up\u201d you are agreeing to our terms and conditions . you can unsubscribe at any time . for more information about how to do this , and how immediate media company limited ( publisher of radio times ) holds your personal information , please see our privacy policy .\nwebsite is owned and published by immediate media company limited . urltoken \u00a9 immediate media company ltd 2018 .\nactor -

html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nkaran who made an impressive debut in nammavar has come a long way . after a brief sabbatical , he made a re - entry into filmdom as hero in kokki from where his journey is progressing at a steady pace . karan in conversation with urltoken\ni consider two things in my life to be turning points . the entry that kamal sir gave me in nammavar . he called it as \u2018periya pravesam\u2019 which is absolutely true . no one could have got a better entry . i think i am the first person to have gotten the opportunity and luck . with just one day after the release of the film , i received the recognition that one gets after doing ten films . nammavar gave me a lot of confidence . i have done close to 68 films after nammavar . the second turning point is my re - entry into films as hero in kokki which was a sensational movie . people had not expected to see such a film in those days and the film was well appreciated . after kokki i did karuppusamy kuthagaidaarar , thee nagar , kaathavaraayan and malayan which received appreciations from different types of people .\nwhen people hear the names of my films the first thing they ask is \u2018where do you pick such titles ? \u2019 but i feel when the story and plot are different , everything about the film will be different .\nkanagavel kaakka is such a relevant title . the name of hero is kanagavel . now i think you will be able to get the feel of the content . the character of the hero is portrayed in a very powerful manner . i would like to discuss the characterization of the film but cannot do it till the release of the film as per the requests of the producer and director . you may have met such a character in your life but i feel such a person has not been portrayed in films till now . in that fashion , kanagavel will be unique .\nharipriya , a famous heroine from sandalwood is being introduced as my on screen pair . kota sreenivasa rao who acted with me in kokki will also feature in this film . i don\u2019t have to talk about him ; he has proved himself in saami and many other films . sampath is a lawyer in the film and i am sure this film will render a different color to him . he has done a superb job . then there is adithya as a police officer .\ni see director kavin bala\u2019s brilliance in kanagavel kaakka . i am very confident that he will turn into a fantastic director . you will realize my word when you see the film . when a right story and scenario along with perfect casting happens , 75 % of the work is completed . director kavin bala has chosen the right technicians .\nthere is extraordinary music scored by vijay antony in kanagavel kaakka and he is a strong pillar to this film . re - recording tracks will speak a lot about his intelligence . he has done many light hearted films but this film will be very different from his earlier works . vijay antony is the latest music sensation .\nlyrics are written by snehan which have turned out very well . nellai jeyantha has also written lyrics . vijay antony has also written a song \u2018minsarame minsarame\u2019 .\nas actors we were all waiting to go to the sets every day . all things that are required for a successful film have been happening to kanagavel kaakka right from the beginning and there is huge expectation for this film . people who have watched it at post production stage have appreciated it . but i am like a student who is awaiting results after writing his exams . we are giving the film to people who will give our verdict . i am waiting for the results and at the same time i trust that people would come to me and say , \u201ckaran , we did not expect such a film from you . \u201d i am waiting to hear those words .\nrecently a journalist friend approached me and said that now that i have become a hero , i would have earned much on the financial front . i seconded his thoughts and said , \u201ci have earned much but not money but only fans . when i earn money , it gets spent . but fans are not like that . fans are only incoming and not outgoing\u201d . this is a heartfelt truth which i have said in many interviews . in film industry , many people would have become hero with diverse ideas and perspectives . but i always believe that when we give good products , fans will never let us down . this belief only drives me forward and i became a hero relying on this fact .\nkanda will hit the screens after kanagavel kaakka and kanda is being produced for vp films by kalpana palanivel . he is a very good producer who has given many successful films . babu k viswanath is the debut director .\ntill now , i have done many films for first time directors . people have asked me why i only work with new directors . but they are the ones who approach me with scripts . what i look for is a simple and clear plot with some aspect being different and fresh . most of the new directors have toiled in the industry for 12 - 13 years and have acquired much knowledge and experience . hence they would want to use all that they have learnt in the first film and would be keen to prove themselves . in tamil film industry , best films are rendered by debut directors . when such directors come with so much of zeal and potential , there is nothing wrong in joining hands and working with them .\nworking is much easier and the atmosphere is friendly . it is a refreshing experience for me . they look at me in a completely different angle which i myself have not thought about . director kavin bala is also a newcomer who has worked with saran and hari and has gained valuable experience . he is also a poet . of course i also would like to work under established directors and some of them have even been discussing things with me . when the right opportunity knocks , i would like to do it in the right manner . i am sure god will give me such an opportunity too .\nmithra from kerala is my heroine in kanda . rajesh features in a key role .\nthe film is about a school teacher and his student . in the earlier generation students used to go to school by walk for many miles or cross the river and through many such difficult modes . in the present days , i am not sure if some kind of personal relationship exists between students and teachers . nevertheless , for a student , there will be at least one teacher who will be close to his / her heart . this holds good for all . there was such a teacher in kanda\u2019s life . that\u2019s what the story is all about . the relationship between kanda and the teacher forms the crux of the storyline . the film talks about what the teacher did to kanda and what he did to the teacher in return when he grew up . the plot occurred very new to me and i am quite satisfied with it . rajesh is the teacher who has all the qualities to be a good teacher . he is also a good actor . it will be a good film for him .\nbabu k viswanath . he has written many stories . when he narrated the story to me , he did it quite briskly . we can decide on some stories instantly and some others make you think because you wonder whether the story would be suitable for you . but i decided on kanda immediately . i felt the spark inside me .\nvadivudayan is the director . i don\u2019t intend talking about him now because everyone will be doing that once the film is released . a brilliant director ! though this is his 2nd film , he is like a newcomer . he impresses me in every thing .\nafter these films , i am yet to decide my course . once i decide , i would definitely share with my fans about the details of my projects . i was not acting for three years and my fans know about that also . when kokki was released , they appreciated my work . i generally like to share about what i do with people .\nevery film that we work , it has been done with the hope that it would be liked by the audience . the recent five films of mine were different from each other . this was indicated to me by my fan cum friend from abroad who saw my films . he was the one who told me that i give a long interval between my films . but i alone cannot take the onus for this . film making is a difficult task which involves many people . my agenda in 2010 is to release a film once in three months . earlier , i was involved in only one film at a time . now i am planning to work in two films simultaneously . of course , it would be a strain . but it is fine with me . this is my way of ensuring that there is no big gap between successive films . i also feel that quality is more important than quantity . i am trying to combine the two and render good results .\ni have not done villain roles in many mainstream films . i have never acted as a villain with typical cinematic characteristic traits . i have done roles in villain\u2019s moods . i have not killed or raped which are quite difficult for me . i will see to it that there is some semblance of reality when it comes to portraying me as villain . i don\u2019t believe in glorifying negativity . but in nammavar , it is the life of a\nstudent and the film gave me a huge identity . my character would have been justified in the film and it was not projected as a villain . but the films that i did as villain had a better reach . by god ' s grace , i have done a variety of roles in films like gokulathil seethai , kaadal kottai , kannedire thondrinal , kaalamellam kaadal vaazhga which helped me get a place in the audience ' s heart that paved way for me to act as hero .\ni had created the gap of few years just before kokki happened . i wanted some time before transforming from villain to hero . i needed breathing time . i was working in 16 - 17 films a year in many languages and used to continuously shoot , sometimes even skipping my food . i only wanted to stand in front of the camera .\nthat\u2019s all . nothing else crossed my mind . this took a toll on my health . that ' s when i decided to take a break and re - worked on my entire persona after which i did kokki . when i looked at myself on screen in kokki , i was surprised . i missed 47 films in the two and a half year gap . my friends in the industry were very angry with me for this . at some point in life , everybody would be forced to decide for themselves and i did the same . but it was a good decision . i take things as it comes and i have immense faith in god . i am certain that god will guide me in the right direction .\npeople wonder how i get such a variety of scripts . the scripts come in search of me . and i choose the ones which would suit me . when i choose a script , i see to it that there is some difference from my earlier film . i don\u2019t want things to be repeated . of course there are some constants which cannot be avoided in mainstream films . there should be some larger than life images and scenes in films . then only audience will accept the film . if there is 60 % - 70 % translation of the story narrated to the visual medium , i consider it as good .\ni choose my script . i don\u2019t believe in handling this responsibility to anyone . once i accept a role , perhaps , i can seek suggestion to improvise the character but not before that .\npeople ask me what is my place in the industry . i stay in the heart of my fans which i value a lot . i want to retain this place and that is very important to me . i am called the minimum guarantee hero . i am happy to hear it .\napparently , the unit faced some problems from a few people while shooting in nagercoil earlier .\nfinally after the completion of the film and after it has got a certificate from the censors . the movie is embroiled in controversy . a particular segment from nagercoil has sent a legal notice to the producer and a copy to the producers council , asking them not to release the film .\nthey say that the movie has been shot to defame and hurt certain people in the kanyakumari district and hence they would like to see the film first and give an approval before its release .\nkaran clarified , \u201cthe film is based on a real life character but it\u2019s not our aim to hurt anyone at all . \u201d\nnow it\u2019s up to the producers council to give their judgment on the matter .\nsomeone necessarily help to make critically articles i\u2019d state . this is the first time i frequented your web page and up to now ? i

promised a lot during its pre - release . does it live up to all hype ? no is the answer , as what begins as an entertainer ends up as an emotional pot - boiler . however , director vadivudayan has laced the script with some interesting moments , while narrating the life of a gangster who lived in kanyakumari district .\nas usual karan has tried his best to keep things going with his matured performance . his body language and dialogue delivery deserve kudos . anjali ' s performance is worth a mention as she simply steals the show . saravanan impresses and reminds one of ' paruithiveeran ' chitappu at places .\nthe highlights of the movie are the melodious numbers by vidyasagar . what begins as a high - voltage action film fizzles out to end as an emotional drama . but still , vadivudayan can be complimented for an honest attempt .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nthere were enough protests from a few outfits in kaniyakumari over the movie\u2019s release . with all dust settled down , the movie made its way to theatres . sadly , the movie that promised a lot fizzles out to an emotional pot - boiler losing track as it progresses . the movie has been told in a lackluster manner and disappoints us despite having a potential theme to present a neat film .\nwhen you chose to make a movie on a character that has really lived you must be aware that there would be no suspense element on what happened to the man . so your narrative and depiction of the drama called life should be very sharp and engaging otherwise viewers would find it boring . director vadivudiyan has completely missed the knack of bring the life on screen . he has restored to melodrama and missed the sharpness and speed .\nkaran and anjali live up the proceedings with their performance . both have given their best and the romance between them works out well . that the script has marred the impact of such performances is altogether a different matter .\nsaravanan is adequate as salai while the rest of the cast are ok . kanja karuppu\u2019 s efforts to make us laugh fail to click .\nthe highlight of the movie is cool music by vidyasagar . the melody man has come out with a soothing music .\nhad vadivudayan downplayed emotions and melodrama and increased pace , it could have been an interesting fare .\nour website is made

when he touches the walls in the famous entry hall , he can hear the voices of immigrants from years gone by .\nmr . sayles described the theme of ' ' the brother from another planet ' ' as ' ' forcing people to look at racial and power relations they take for granted .

' ' ' ' the brother from another planet , ' ' set in major part in harlem , means to be fantastic as well as funny and satiric , and from time to time , it is each of these things . mostly , though ,

writing . they had known each other since childhood , having both been born and raised in south london - esmonde came from battersea - and been schoolboy mates at henry thornton grammar school in clapham .\nbob worked with his old schoolfriend john esmonde , who passed away in 2008 , throughout his career and their \u201870s creation \u2018the good life\u2019 was one of their most phenomenal successes .\nso ladies and gentlemen , boys and girls , i hope you will join me in saying a huge thank you to the one and only mr . bob larbey for everything he has given to the sitcom universe . thank sir , and may you rest in peace .\nlarbey was born in lambeth , south london , the son of a carpenter . he attended the henry thornton school , clapham , where esmonde was a friend \u2013 two years his junior \u2013 who shared his sense of humour . on leaving , larbey worked as a printing - block maker , then in an insurance office , before doing national service in the royal army educational corps in germany .\nitem 2 the good life : volume five : the wind - break war : win . . . by esmonde , john cd -

going , larbey was at school with esmonde in south london just after the war . the pair sought escape from their humdrum jobs by spending their evenings and weekends writing comedy scripts . by the early 1960s they had enjoyed modest success with sketches for radio programmes such as i\u2019m sorry , i\u2019ll read that again and , for television , the dick emery show .\n, a comedy which , as its title suggests , is about a policeman . the series lasted two seasons and in the process esmonde and larbey learned a lot about how to structure thirty minutes of comedy as opposed to the short skits they ' d been doing . they also learned a lot about how to create well - rounded sitcom characters .\nbob larbey , the co - writer of bbc sitcom the good life , has died aged 79 , his agent has confirmed .\nlarbey\u2019s longest - running solo sitcom was as time goes by ( 1992 - 2005 ) , from an idea by colin bostock - smith . judi dench and geoffrey palmer played two old flames , jean and lionel , reunited after 38 years apart . as with a fine romance , larbey\u2019s scripts shone with intelligence and poignancy . the sitcom also proved popular in the united states .\nlarbey was quintessentially experimental . he and esmonde were late bloomers . they began writing the good life when they were turning 40 :\nit ' s one of those ' oh , god , what am i doing with my life times . '\nwhen a producer first saw one of their scripts and was surprised by the absence of gags , larbey responded ,\nwe go for character . we can ' t write jokes . never could .\nlarbey was never confident in his work :\ni don ' t have an inkling as to what will be a success : there is no magic formula .\nthe 1970s hit show about two neighbouring suburban couples was one of the prolific scriptwriter\u2019s many successes with co - writer john esmonde , who died in 2008 .\nthe death of bob larbey last week received little if any attention on english television ; it was overwhelmed by such trivial stories as the downfall of yet another sleazy politician , and the first foreign trip of a royal infant . bob larbey deserved better , because he was an artist who helped transform television .\nlarbey married patricia ( trish ) marshall , a scriptwriter for lwt , who died in 2006 . he is survived by their son .\nafter the good life , larbey and esmonde wrote three further series for richard briers , starting with the other one ( 1977 - 79 ) , in which the central character could not have been more different . perhaps because briers was cast as a compulsive and unscrupulous liar , the show failed to generate any of the affection viewers had felt for the wholesome goods , and it was cancelled after only two series .\nstarring tom bell , holly aird and eamon boland . the series ran for two seasons but was not seen as a great success . unlike larbey ' s next solo project ,\nlarbey , who died on monday , was born in south london in 1934 . he attended school in the area , which was where he first met esmonde . the pair began working together on comedy scripts and by the early 1960s they had enjoyed modest success with sketches for radio programmes such as i\u2019m sorry , i\u2019ll read that again and television shows including the dick emery show .\ncomedy writers and actors have paid tribute . writer and creator of reginald perrin , david nobbs said :\nimagine if bob larbey had never been born . how much less rich british tv comedy would have been .\nthe good life , which the bbc accepted for production in 1975 , featured richard briers and felicity kendal as a suburban couple resolved to practise self - sufficiency and live off the land without leaving surbiton , much to the scorn of their neighbours , played by paul eddington and penelope keith . again esmonde and larbey succeeded in sustaining genial life - like comedy without elaborate plot contrivances on the one hand or drifting into sitcharm , rather than sitcom , on the other .\njust like any larbey ( with or without esmonde ) comedy , a fine romance boasts three dimensional characters that are charming at times , prone to flying off the handle ( i\u2019m thinking more of laura here ) , not afraid to show their emotion when things don\u2019t go to plan and pumped with an infectious joy when the occasion calls for it .\nafter down to earth , the writers ended their partnership and esmonde retired to spain . larbey had already branched out on his own with a fine romance and on the up ( 1990 - 91 ) , teaming dennis waterman\u2019s self - made millionaire with the socially superior wife played by judy buxton , as well as writing the first four episodes ( 1991 ) of the darling buds of may .\nbob larbey enjoyed 30 years as half of one of television\u2019s most successful and prolific sitcom - writing partnerships . he and john esmonde had their first major hit with please sir ! ( 1968 - 72 ) , set in fenn street secondary modern school , with john alderton as bernard hedges , the fledgling teacher trying to keep order among the unruly pupils of class 5c , who call him \u201cprivet\u201d .\nbetween the good life and down to earth ( their last series together ) esmonde and larbey created nine further sitcoms . two of the most popular of these , brush strokes ( bbc , 1986 - 91 ) and mulberry ( bbc , 1992 - 93 ) , starred karl howman ( who had also appeared in get some in ! ) - as a womanising house painter in the former , and as an assistant to the grim reaper , albeit with a sentimental streak , in the latter .\nrobert edward john larbey was born on the 24th june 1934 in lambeth . he and esmonde met at the henry thornton school in clapham and , after national service in the army , the pair were soon writing comedy scripts together in their spare time . by the 1960s they had found jobs working on bbc radio , contributing to programmes such as i ' m sorry , i ' ll read that again .\non television , larbey and esmonde had already been writing sketches for the dick emery show when room at the bottom was given a try - out in the \u201ccomedy playhouse\u201d slot in 1966 . given the green light for a full series the following year , it featured kenneth connor leading a factory\u2019s maintenance workers against deryck guyler\u2019s personnel director \u2013 but it failed to catch on .\nthe co - writer of classic bbc sitcom the good life , bob larbey , has died at the age of 79 , his agent has confirmed .\ntheir neighbours are the henpecked jerry and margot leadbetter ( paul eddington and penelope keith ) .\nlarbey had no theatrical background , but his first stage play , a month of sundays , won the evening standard best comedy of the year award when it played at the duchess theatre in the west end in 1986 , starring george cole . the play was set in a retirement home and won praise for its humour , delicacy and humane consideration of growing older , qualities evident in all of his , and esmonde ' s , television writing , even the knockabout stuff .\nwhen the good life was nearing its end , they wrote the other one ( 1977 - 79 ) , again starring richard briers , this time with michael gambon , playing two loners dependent on each other ' s friendship . despite esmonde and larbey ' s fondness for it , viewers were not so enthusiastic , perhaps feeling uncomfortable with briers in the role of an unscrupulous character .\nfeet first ( 1979 ) , just liz ( 1980 ) and don\u2019t rock the boat ( 1982 ) were other turkeys , but now and then ( 1983 - 84 ) , starring bernard holley , ran to two series . larbey and esmonde were on a roll again with brush strokes ( 1986 - 91 ) , featuring karl howman as a womanising decorator . then , in mulberry ( 1992 - 93 ) , howman starred as the manservant to geraldine mcewan\u2019s crotchety old spinster .\non leaving school larbey took a job in an insurance office in soho , then did national service with the army , stationed in germany with the education corps .\nas larbey celebrated his 40th birthday , he and esmonde devised their most popular and successful series , the good life . in the first episode , screened in 1975 , tom good , a draughtsman for a plastics company ( played by richard briers ) , himself turned 40 , seizing this occasion to drop out of the rat - race by jacking in his job in favour of suburban self - sufficiency with his wife barbara ( felicity kendal ) .\njohn challis , boycie in only fools and horses , paid tribute :\nfirst john sullivan & now bob larbey who wrote please sir , good life & ever decreasing circles . will anyone match them ?\nlarbey wrote as time goes by by himself , after esmonde ' s retirement . most viewers would probably attribute the show ' s success to superb ensemble acting , and the brilliance of judi dench in the lead role . but the unobtrusiveness of the scripts should not be taken for unimportance , as is often done with excellent experimental art . the actors themselves would never make this mistake . as geoffrey palmer , who starred opposite judi dench , concluded ,\nyou can find hundreds of actors , but you don ' t get many writers like bob larbey .\nhaving built up a rapport with briers on the good life , esmonde and larbey recombined with the actor on three further sitcoms : the underrated the other one ( bbc , 1977 - 79 ) , with briers and michael gambon as two loners dependent on each other ' s friendship ; ever decreasing circles ( bbc , 1984 - 89 ) , with briers as the know - it - all do - gooder of his suburban neighbourhood ; and down to earth ( bbc , 1995 ) , in which briers played an expatriate returning to live in britain and finding his new situation strange and bewildering .\njudi dench , british actress known for her numerous and varied stage roles and for her work in television and in a variety of films . \u2026\nthis original idea evolved from the writers ' own thoughts about turning 40 and they saw the urban setting , rather than a rural smallholding , as crucial .\nplacing them in the avenue , where a number of margos and jerrys lived up and down the road , not just next door , provided the abrasiveness ,\nexplained esmonde .\nin the hit or miss world of tv comedy , everything starts with the script . in america , the most successful sitcom series have used vast armies of writers , but in britain it has traditionally been a one - or two - man ( or very occasionally woman ) operation , and the writers have often become household names , almost as much as the performers . examples include galton and simpson , carla lane , marks and gran , and richard curtis . one duo , however , produced consistently highly - rated and high - quality series for more than 20 years without gaining that same level of public adulation : john esmonde and bob larbey .\nbob larbey died on monday 31st march 2014 , aged 79 . his comedy legacy includes beloved titles such as please sir ! , ever decreasing circles , the good life , as time goes by , brush strokes , on the up , a fine romance , the other one , mulberry , get some in ! and many more . his writing partner for many series , john esmonde , died in 2008 .\nbetween these series , larbey went solo on a fine romance for dench and her husband michael williams , a four - series saga ( 1981 - 84 ) of on / off social intimacy with ups and downs and looming elderly parents played by the unforgettable duo of richard pearson and lally bowers . and he rallied to the great actor again with as time goes by ( 1992 - 2002 , with\nreunion\nspecials in 2005 ) as dench ' s jean hardcastle re - animated a long lost affair with geoffrey palmer ' s ex - army officer ; her casual brilliance and comic timing in these larbey scripts undoubtedly led to her indian summer in british films and hollywood .\nrobert edward john larbey , writer : born london 24 june 1934 ; married 1973 patricia marshall ( died 2006 ; one son ) ; died london 31 march 2014 .\nactress jackie lye , who played sandra the secretary , described how larbey would write extra scenes for the show if their script read - through came in under time .\nthey were both south london boys . larbey was the youngest son of a carpenter who attended the henry thornton grammar school in clapham where he met esmonde , two years his junior , and was captain of cricket . he worked as a printing - block maker , then in an insurance office in soho , and did his national service with the education corps in germany . three years of after - hours writing with esmonde yielded a bbc joint fee of two guineas in 1965 . sketches for the comedian dick emery led to their first radio sitcom , spare a copper , starring kenneth connor ( of carry on films fame ) as a hopeless policeman and , in 1969 , just perfick , adapted from he bates ' s stories about the larkin family ; 20 years later , larbey dramatised the first television series adapted from the same source , the darling buds of may .\nall four of the leads from the good life went on to their own series , and deservedly so . kendal starred in carla lane ' s solo alongside stephen moore 3 . eddington saw his finest hour in lynn and jay ' s yes minister and later yes , prime minister , reputed to be margaret thatcher ' s favourite tv programme . keith took her snobbish persona even further upmarket as audrey fforbes - hamilton in peter spence ' s to the manor born . only briers , however , had a follow - up also from the esmonde and larbey stable .\ni don ' t know how many co - authored books are genuine collaborations . certainly it ' s possible to write as a partnership ( galton & simpson , larbey & esmonde , perry & croft ) but those are from tv where you can easily divide up the scenes ; it ' s harder with a novel . jamie and i co - plot the dirk lloyd and starship captain books , and leo has input into the storyline for mirabilis , but the bulk of the writing is just done by one person .\nthe two writers continued to work together , meeting daily in a rented office in dorking , surrey , midway between their homes , larbey still in london , esmonde now settled on the sussex coast . success continued to come their way , notably with get some in ! ( thames , 1975 - 78 ) , which drew on their national service days in the 50s .\nlarbey struck out on his own with a fine romance ( 1981 - 84 ) , starring judi dench in her first television sitcom , alongside her real - life husband , michael williams . \u201cfrom first to last , \u201d one critic noted , \u201cbob larbey\u2019s scripts were well - written , providing not only laughs but also an underlying intelligence . \u201d\nreunited larbey with judy dench . the idea for the series was brought to larbey by the theatre of comedy production company and they asked him to see what he could do with it . the premise - of two former lovers reuniting after almost forty years - was right up larbey ' s street and the dream casting of judi dench as jean pargetter and geoffrey palmer turned the show into a hit on both sides of the atlantic enjoying considerable success in the usa . for the first few seasons , the plot revolved around whether or not lionel and jean would get back together .\nyou can do just so much with two people sort of dancing around each other - and the audience knowing that the outcome was going to be a happy one .\nsaid larbey .\ni think the reason that i went on was that they were all so good in it and enjoyed it , and i liked the characters that i ' d written . it was a happy time , and we said let ' s go on , let ' s make it a character comedy .\nthe show concluded in 2002 with the wedding of judith and alistair .\nother series followed , including just perfick ( 1969 ) , from the larkins stories by he bates , which would not reach the tv screen as the darling buds of may for another 22 years , and then not written by esmonde and larbey . they made their television debut in 1967 with room at the bottom ( for the bbc ) , a cheery low - life series about a crew of maintenance workers - the title was a playful twist on john braine ' s hugely popular novel and movie , room at the top .\nthe pair first met at grammar school in clapham , where larbey was three years ahead of esmonde . in spite of the age difference the two shared a school trip to switzerland where they discovered that they shared a similar sense of humour , and it was based on this that they forged their long - lasting friendship . after military service they drifted back into a humdrum civilian life and took mundane , unfulfilling jobs just to make ends meet . they would often meet up for lunch and complain about their dead - end jobs and dream of forging a better way to make a living .\nhe rejoined esmonde to create another popular and long - running vehicle for richard briers in ever decreasing circles ( 1984 - 89 ) , in which the star returned to suburbia as martin bryce , an anally - retentive fusspot and do - gooder , with penelope wilton as his long - suffering wife , ann .\nwhen the writers john esmonde and bob larbey came up with the idea for the good life , they were looking for a vehicle for briers , who\u2019d just turned 40 . he was well established but not quite famous \u2014 the other three actors even less so . felicity kendal and penelope keith were cast on the strength of their performances in an ayckbourn play . paul eddington was a \u2018first eleven light - comedy actor\u2019 ( as briers put it ) but he was hardly a household name . in the opening credits , briers\u2019s name was above the title , the other three were below it . briers\u2019s tom good was the lead ; kendal was ensured a decent role as his wife , barbara , but jerry and margo leadbetter were initially conceived as supporting characters . however , paul eddington and penelope keith were so good that after the first few episodes , briers implored esmonde and larbey to write them up . the two writers needed no prompting . the good life became a quartet \u2014 a comedy of manners with a surprising political subtext .\nthe idea came to larbey when he was approaching his 40th birthday and recognised it as a time for people to reassess their lives \u2013 what has been and what might follow . he and esmonde had been asked to find a vehicle for richard briers , so they cast him as tom good , who gives up his job as a draughtsman at a company making plastic toys for cereal packets to go self - sufficient with his wife , barbara ( felicity kendal ) , at their house in surbiton . the goods\u2019 antics test to the limits their friendship with neighbours jerry leadbetter and his toffee - nosed wife , margo ( paul eddington and penelope keith ) .\nlarbey and his wife , trish marshall , moved from london to a thatched cottage in the surrey village of ockley in 1989 and promptly got involved with the local amateurs , the ockley drama society . though larbey never repeated the success of a month of sundays , his theatre output continued and is often revived in repertory theatres and amateur companies around the world : a small affair ( 1990 ) charts the romantic perils of tv rehearsal rooms ; building blocks ( 1992 ) was written from the heart about family traumas during a domestic building extension ; and sand castles ( 2001 ) is a seaside comedy of beach - hut politics .\nbob larbey has also had several solo projects worthy of note over the years - he wrote the screenplays for some episodes of the darling buds of may , and had individual sitcom successes with a fine romance , in which judi dench and her real - life husband michael williams starred as a middle - aged couple with an on - off relationship . in larbey ' s as time goes by , judi dench stars again , this time opposite geoffrey palmer . a mature couple who had fallen in love during the war , but were separated by circumstance , are reunited when lionel ( palmer ) retires back to england after a lifetime growing coffee in kenya . as time goes by is still running , and has become an enduring worldwide success - including a successful debut season on pbs in the usa in 2000 - thanks to its gentle , mature intelligence . however , it is surely for his work with esmonde that larbey will be most fondly remembered .\nlarbey trod his own path with a fine romance ( 1981 - 84 ) , which starred judi dench in her first ever television sitcom , alongside her real - life husband , michael williams .\nin 30 years as half of a writing duo with bob larbey , john esmonde shared in creating more than a dozen television sitcoms . the most popular was the good life ( 1975 - 78 ) , which went beyond the bland , archetypal domestic setting of many such programmes by adding the twist of its leading characters opting out of the rat race to seek self - sufficiency in their middle - class , suburban home .\nby then , esmonde and larbey had established themselves in television , having begun with sketches for the dick emery show , which started in 1963 . they landed their own series with room at the bottom ( 1967 ) , which followed a bbc\ncomedy playhouse\npilot the previous year . set among the maintenance workers at saracens manufacturing company , the comedy revolved around the confrontations between their leader , gus fogg ( kenneth connor ) , and the company ' s personnel director ( deryck guyler ) , but it did not prove a success .\nunlike the relatively abrasive comedy to be found in these series ( the writers ' get some in ! ( itv , 1975 - 78 ) , based around the experiences of national servicemen in the 1950s , can also be bracketed among this group ) , the comedy of esmonde and larbey is popularly characterised as being good humoured , gentle and tasteful , populated by characters that generally match the same description . no series better embodies these characteristics than the one that saw their return to the bbc , the good life ( 1975 - 78 ) .\non demob , he had a job at a foundry while esmonde was a journalist . in their spare time , the pair submitted comedy sketches to the bbc . eventually , one was accepted for a radio programme that included cyril fletcher \u2013 and they jointly earned two guineas ( \u00a32 . 10 ) .\nlarbey also enjoyed great success with his solo projects , which included writing the screenplays for the first four episodes of the darling buds of may from a novel by h . e . bates . it was a massive ratings hit for itv and provided sir david jason with his first major success away from only fools and horses .\n. drawing on personal experience yet again , esmonde and larbey remembered the days when they were stuck in a dead - end job with few prospects to escape the hum - drum of everyday life .\ni think it was a good idea .\nsaid bob larbey in an interview .\nwe started with the premise of somebody reaching his fortieth birthday . people think of it as one of those milestone ages , the\noh , god , what have i done with my life ? what do i do about it ?\nthat was the premise . in their original draft tom good was going to build a yacht and sail around the world , but they then hit on a subject that was far more trendy at that time .\nwe added the self - sufficiency , which seemed a good idea . it started slowly - - bad reviews and low audiences , and then somewhere in the second series it just took off and flew . and it sort of passed into legend for some reason .\nwhen he and esmonde started writing sketches , working together at nights and weekends , they submitted a few to the bbc , which eventually accepted one for a programme starring the comedian cyril fletcher , earning them a joint fee of two guineas . having saved money from their day jobs , they gave themselves three months to make a go of writing full - time .\n, briers played the awful martin bryce , an anally retentive , interfering control freak who tries the patience of all his neighbours and acquaintances but non more so than his long suffering wife , anne . penelope wilton starred alongside briers as his wife and peter egan was the next door neighbour who anne should have run off with - but never did . martin wants to help his community and in his zeal heads up about every conceivable local committee . yet his singular focus on doing good causes martin to become an incredible bore . when anne wants to go to see a famed pianist martin prefers his meetings . anne may not have heard her music but the series hit the right notes with the british public and it stayed on bbc for four series and a 80 - minute special . but esmonde and larbey were not finished with successful sitcoms yet , and had another hit in 1986 with\nbefore the good life ended , larbey and esmonde wrote the first of three more series for richard briers . the other one ( 1977 - 79 ) , featuring him as a compulsive liar , was not popular , but the role of do - gooder martin bryce , with penelope wilton as his wife , in ever decreasing circles ( 1984 - 9 ) , had writers and star back on track . later came down to earth ( 1995 ) , but briers\u2019s unsympathetic character , an expatriate struggling to adapt after returning to britain from south america , was again shunned by viewers .\ntheir breakthrough came with the idea for a radio sitcom , spare a copper ( 1965 - 66 ) , featuring the carry on film star kenneth connor as a bungling policeman \u2013 and enabled them to become full - time writers , although at times esmonde was kept afloat only by his wife gina ' s job selling books in offices and door - to - door .\nget some in ! didn ' t set the world alight , but it achieved respectable popularity and a five - series run , even surviving lindsay ' s departure to star in john sullivan ' s citizen smith , in which he once again played a loudmouth called smith with a sidekick called ken . it was , however , another esmonde and larbey creation from the same period which was to guarantee their place in the comedy firmament , taking them to the bbc and its middle - class world from the more working - class situations of itv . the series that launched a million daydreams about felicity kendal ' s bottom was the good life .\none of the reasons the series passed into legend as larbey puts it is thanks to a brilliant ensemble cast of richard briers , felicity kendal , penelope keith and paul eddington . the show may have been intended as a starring vehicle for briers , but it was penelope keith who was soon taking all the plaudits .\nmargo ( played by penelope keith ) became hugely popular as a character .\nsaid larbey .\nit was always intended as a foursome , because you needed that . the goods were perfectly funny on their own and while we needed other strong characters , margo just grew and grew ."]}

woman and the invisible woman have all appeared in recent blockbusters , they\u2019ve always played a supporting role ( dressed head to toe in leather bodysuits , might i add . ) so , now that we\u2019ve seen the success and importance of films like wonder woman , here is my list of female superheroes that truly deserve the big screen treatment . be warned , this list is long \u2013 but fantastic !\nfirst appearing in the 1940s when marvel was still timely comics , miss america was revamped in 2011 by joe casey and nick dragotta . this new miss america is a latina lgbtq + teenager named america chavez . so with miss america you don\u2019t only have a female superhero but you also have a woman of color who just happens to be part of the lgbtq + society . miss america was given her first solo comic book in march of 2017 so it may be a while before we see her on the big screen but i personally can\u2019t wait for that day to come .\npossible cast : diane guerrero ( orange is the new black ) ; seychelle gabriel ( falling skies ) ; christian serratos ( the walking dead ) . stephanie beatriz ( brooklyn nine - nine ) and gina rodriguez ( jane the virgin ) have already expressed interest in the role .\npossible cast : alexandra daddario ( true detective ) ; emilia clarke ( game of thrones ) ; maiara walsh ( the vampire diaries ) .\nmy personal favourite member of the teen titans , raven encompasses the perfect moody teenager . an empath and total badass , this teenage superhero deserves a shot at the big screen . half - demon and half - human , raven is the epitome of dark superheroines and would be a lovely foil to the overtly positive and bubbly superheroines that are more likely to grace screens . the titan is set to appear in an upcoming live action warner brothers television show but the series is still in its initial phases .\npossible cast : bex taylor - klaus ( mtv\u2019s scream ) ; hailee steinfeld ( pitch perfect 2 ) ; odeya rush ( the giver ) .\nwe have the cw series but i\u2019ve always felt that supergirl deserves to be on the big screen . supergirl / kara danvers was first introduced to readers in 1959 and physically embodies the classic girl next door . in reality , she is much more than that . strong , passionate and smart , it\u2019s only fair that supergirl get to grace the big screen \u2013 in the end her cousin superman has been doing it for decades !\npossible cast : nicola peltz ( bates motel ) ; evan rachel wood ( across the universe ) ; teresa palmer ( warm bodies ) .\nthis african superhero with the power to mimic the abilities of any animal who has ever lived on earth is currently portrayed by two actresses on two different television series . the classic vixen , also known as mari mccabe , is the star of the cw\u2019s web - series vixen while dc\u2019s legends of tomorrow features another iteration of vixen that is made to be mari\u2019s grandmother . nonetheless , vixen deserves a shot on the big screen and thanks to her powers , i can only imagine how awesome the visual effects would be !\npossible cast : freema agyeman ( sense8 ) ; rutina wesley ( true blood ) ; samira wiley ( orange is the new black ) .\nsilk\u2019s origin story may sound familiar : she was bitten by a radioactive spider during a demonstration of functional radioactive rays . yes , cindy moon , or silk as she comes to be known , was present when peter parker was bitten by the spider . in fact , she was bitten as well . the newest character on this list , silk was introduced to the world in 2014 and is set to appear in spider - man : homecoming .\npossible cast : anna kendrick ( pitch perfect ) ; shannon purser ( stranger things ) ; saoirse ronan ( the grand budapest hotel ) .\npossible cast : sophia taylor ali ( faking it ) ; summer bishil ( the magicians ) .\nso this isn\u2019t an independent superhero but rather a team of badass superheroines . debuted in 2015 , the a - force was cancelled due to bad sales despite positive critical reception . the story line and characters are \u2018decidedly feminist\u2019 . the team takes place in the \u2018secret wars\u2019 timeline , a marvel crossover in which all superhero teams have been disbanded . cue the a - force . all women , all badass , all the time . is it really too much to ask for ?\nmiddle - aged mama , i\u2019m aware both of the 84 supergirl and marvel have done a feature of elektra ( starring jennifer garner ) before they launched the mcu . i think i was just unclear that i intended for these to be superheroes introduced in the new mcu and dceu . should have been clearer about why i only included dc and marvel characters . hope you enjoyed the article nonetheless : )\nmy point still stands \u2013 at a budget of $ 35m in 1984 that\u2019s big bikkies for way back then , plus it had a big name cast . the author has not done her research . us middle - aged ducks know what\u2019s what . i agree helen is fabulous .\nhi middle aged mama the opening paragraph says \u2018the same scale\u2019 . helen slater\u2019s 1984 movie was hardly in the current superhero marvel / dm universe league . tho point taken helen is a fabulous person and still around fyi . love from another \u2018muddle -

down motel by the sea , irina has reached the end . . . see full summary \u00bb\nusing the weight of fangoria , he\u2019s managed to raise the interest levels of fellow horror film aficionados for the movie , titled blood for irina , and thus was able to secure funding for it from a company called autonomy , which produces micro -

free but for some voiceover provided by irina that operates as a chapter intro or to punctuate an unfolding scene . for example , at a point in the film , irina utters the words \u201cshe is like me\u2026lost\u2026sinking\u201d which in context works perfectly , but is delivered with robotic sounding effects on the actor\u2019s voice that tends to be more grating than emotionally empty . this effect is used throughout the work any time irina delivers an address . if the desired effect was to distance the viewer from irina , then it works ; if it was to further endear us to her plight , it may work counter to that for some viewers .\nfor more information on alexander , visit urltoken and for information about his film , visit urltoken .\n\u201cblood for irena\u201d is a classic example of why horror movie fans ( and fangoria editors ) shouldn\u2019t try to make horror movies .\nexperimental and nearly dialogue - free , blood for irina extinguishes any preconceptions one might have of its director\u2019s association heading one of the most enduring horror magazines . alexander\u2019s artful approach is quite daring considering the lure of his name to loyal readers , some of whom may not be receptive to the film\u2019s unconventional style . rather than deliver a patronizing bloodbath , alexander opts for starkly composed imagery , and a surreal quality that allows adventurous viewers a glimpse into the mind of irina , and , perhaps , that of alexander\u2019s own . blood for irina is clearly a labor of love for the director , one dripping just as much in existentialism as the gory stuff .\npersonally , i fall in - between these two camps . i can appreciate the rollin - esque take , making every nuance overly meaningful and melodramatic , but i like me some blood sucker action as well . so there were times during blood for irina when i felt it did run on a bit long .\n, those who prefer their vampires on the more artsy fartsy side will have a lot to like with blood for irina . but if you prefer action oriented or twinkling style vamps , you\u2019re going to be bored to tears by this one .\nirina , victimized by a bloodsucker in a past life , now lives secluded in a dilapidated shoreside motel . she spends most of her time wandering the sparsely populated streets in search of sustenance , just as she has over the past century . traumatized by memories , irina suffers from an inexplicable sickness that not even blood can remedy . the only other souls connected to irina are a hotel manager \u2013 a servant - of - sorts who cleans up irina\u2019s bloody messes \u2013 and a prostitute ( carrie gemmell ) enamored by her lady - of - the - night counterpart . they will each need to find a way to cope with irina\u2019s ensuing demise , but not before more blood is shed .\nin advance of its official release , blood dynasty -

in - chief chris alexander \u2013 visceral images of blood , of course , being the primary operative in this intimate glimpse at the abject loneliness of its vampiric protagonist . blood - stained drains are also a significant symbolic component of the film , one which finds bloodsucking irina ( shauna henry ) in the midst of her own descent , spiraling downward over decades of feeding on hapless victims . door knobs and neon exit signs seemingly point her toward a sad finality , one she may welcome after lifetimes of predatory behavior .\nupdate your medical records online ( eg . blood pressure , weight , smoking status , etc . )\nwith some engrossing music playing throughout paired with some interesting sound effects , blood for irina would fill any open minded blood sucker fan\u2019s ears and eyes as it also offers a lot of fantastic imagery in its short screen time . i also liked the dank feel to the vampire lifestyle as irina is definitely not leading the glamorous life of a vampire many films would lead you to believe . she lives more like a leech , leaving her hotel only to feed and coming back and vomiting up the blood . the story doesn\u2019t delve too much into the vamp mythos , but this almost feels like a film about a woman who thinks she is a vampire rather than one who is one by the way her body rejects drinking the blood .\nthe following content was provided by irina m . larina , and is maintained in a database by the iss program science office .\na psychological , bloody vampire tale and a fever dream inspired by herzog , rollin and franco , blood for irina turns its lens on irina , a predator stalking the streets at night looking for blood . having lived over a century and now living in a run -

production and will be released in spring 2014 .\nblood for irina is about a dying woman who may be a vampire in the last days of her life . the woman is played by a toronto dancer named shauna henry , a newcomer to acting . the second lead in the film is alexander\u2019s wife carrie , who plays a downtrodden prostitute whose life parallels that of the vampire woman .\nirina ( shauna henry ) has been a vampire a long time . she spends her nights wandering around the nameless metropolis she lives in , always on the lookout for fresh victims to bring back to her dilapidated motel . there ' s a problem , though . while she hungrily drains their blood , she can ' t seem to keep it down . every night , she exsanguinates another victim , and vomits their life blood back up . she ' s growing weak , and desperate .\nirina , a dying 100 - year - old vampire , a motel manager and a broken prostitute live a in a world of literal and figurative decay .\nthe film opens with a montage that establishes the cold , lonely world inhabited by irina . images of abandoned motels , frozen landscapes , and the vast ocean are less - than - subtle symbols for each characters\u2019 alienation . their co - dependency is akin to the interrelationships of people existing on the fringe of society who share in a damaging lifestyle ( drugs , prostitution ) , provided here with a gothic twist . the film is composed almost as if a slideshow devoted to their inescapable desolation . irina traverses these landscapes with an unquenchable thirst that goes beyond blood \u2013 she longs for a humanity lost ages ago .\nlike the previous films , the vampire irina is more of a \u201ckarmic\u201d character , a dream that is constantly placed in different incarnations in different times and worlds and representing different emotional and psychological states . like the previous films , blood dynasty is slow , hypnotic , immersive and challenging and is driven by alexander\u2019s own pulsing , swirling electronic score . and like the other films\u2026it\u2019s soaked in dripping , ultra -

shot the movie ( with co - star david goodfellow ) . a true labor of love , this film defies all expectations that one would have for a film about a dying vampire & how she goes about the last days of her life . she doesn\u2019t go on a bender wantonly slaughtering people right & left , she just sort of slowly gives up . emphasis on slowly\u2026\nsave my name , email , and website in this browser for the next time i comment .\nlook for the film this october 31 , 2017 on vod and digital hd via castle films .\nare you eligible for an nhs healthcheck ? please contact us on 01775 715999 to find out .\nboth henry and singleton deserve kudos for how they handle the vampire feeding scenes , which alexander lavishes lots of attention on : the lovingly - filmed sequences of neck - biting , blood trickling down skin and blood passed from mouth to mouth suggest this is the filmmaker\u2019s way of expressing the sexuality of the vampire film . cast and filmmaker give these moments the kind of feverish focus that communicates that idea with vigor .\nspeaking of kubrick , a lot of this film felt \u201ckubrick - ian\u201d to me . alexander is a major fan of directors like the previously mentioned jean rollin and jess franco and their influence is indeed evident here but i just felt a lot of kubrick as the movie progressed . there\u2019s a scent of stanley in the air here and i don\u2019t think chris would disagree with me . during a q & a after the film he admitted an affinity for \u201ceyes wide shut\u201d and there are times during \u201cblood for irina\u201d where the pacing was identical to kubrick\u2019s last film .\nall these things are dreams come true for alexander , who read fangoria ever since he was a child .\nblood for irina has more in common with the slower burning films of the \u201970s than any contemporary takes on vampire lore . think jean rollin\u2019s la vampire nue ( the nude vampire ) ( 1970 ) more so than jim mickle\u2019s stake land ( 2010 ) , the former also featuring a woman wandering the streets with a blood condition . alexander\u2019s work may be a little easier to interpret than some of the \u201970s offerings , but is no - less - worthy of comparison . this is especially true in alexander\u2019s decision to avoid gimmickry often associated with today\u2019s homages . his film is never less than heartfelt and doesn\u2019t stoop to mockery to wink at the audience .\nblood for irina is an impressive first effort , especially considering all the hats worn by alexander on the production . it\u2019s refreshing to see someone in his position embrace vulnerability to create uncompromising and horrific art . his delicate handling of the material shows true reverence for the time period he\u2019s referencing , but with a contemporary look and feel that provides us a \u201cchris alexander film\u201d and not \u201cchris alexander does his best jess franco impression\u201d . it may not appeal to every type of horror fan , but those versed in artsy european vampire films , or those at least curious , should find plenty to appreciate here .\n* when booking appointments for any nurse practitioner or doctor , only use 1 slot per appointment no double booking .\nhorror junkie ' s review : not for average horror fans . . . art -

based , visceral charge are flat and inconsequential ( and far too rare ) . it looks downright hideous , as if most of it was shot on a go pro . it could be used as a what - not - to - do example in an editing class ; coverage feels off , the pacing is leaden , and the film develops absolutely no visual language of its own . the acting ranges from serviceable to simply dreadful , the plotting is utter nonsense , and , again , there isn\u2019t even engaging action to make up for the silly narrative .\nelectrolytes ( ie . sodium and potassium ) affect the amount of water in our body fluids as well as muscle function and other important processes . this experiment evaluated how metabolism of electrolytes changes in microgravity . data showed that younger crew members tend to have a lower body mass index and more muscular crew members show an increased blood concentration of potassium . data also showed changes in hormones involved in signaling in the central nervous system . such changes could affect blood pressure , cardiac output , and balance in long -

wise . it will appeal to a relatively small set of horror fans . if you don ' t enjoy the films of jodorowsky , rollin or at least jess franco ( though there ' s no nudity , or really even any sex here ) , then this will most likely not be the movie for you . for fans of this kind of film , however ,\nhorror fans look for films that will scare them , though at alexander\u2019s age that\u2019s hard to find . however , there are things that do . now that he\u2019s a parent , he said he can\u2019t endure films in which children are harmed .\nfilm history is filled with xenophobic tales of pretty americans who disappear in foreign lands and the pretty people tasked with finding them , and this week sees the induction into this ignominious club of what could be its worst entry . \u201cin the blood\u201d is a dull piece of nonsense , a film that makes one feel bad for straight -

movie escapism , but it\u2019s way too boring to work as that . \u201cin the blood\u201d never even gives carano much of a chance to do what she does well . there\u2019s almost no action to speak of in the \u201cwhat happened to my husband\u201d middle act . and so this physically powerful but emotionally flat performer is forced to carry a narrative about which it is literally impossible to care . your mind will wander . you\u2019ll start ticking off great luis guzman performances . you\u2019ll wonder if certain scenes were shot on an iphone . you\u2019ll entirely give up on caring what happened to derek and just hope something , anything interesting happens to ava . and you\u2019ll wish you were watching a better danny trejo movie ."]}

year cycle . the indian national calendar and the revised bangla calendar of bangladesh arrange their leap years so that the leap day is always close to 29 february in the gregorian calendar .\nminimum of 10 years of software engineering experience with at least 5 or more years in leading . . .\ncame here to suggest this - having to manually indicate which years are leap years ( as they ' re very important in my setting ) is very tiresome .\nleap years are needed to keep our modern day gregorian calendar in alignment with the earth ' s revolutions around the sun .\nso 2000 and 2400 are leap years but 1800 , 1900 , 2100 , 2200 and 2300 are not .\nleap years were introduced by that grand old roman , julius caesar , in the julian calendar . back then , leap years occurred every four years without fail . but it was felt this over - compensated . the gregorian calendar was then devised by aloysius lilius , an italian astronomer and philosopher , ( and named after pope gregory xiii ) to replace the julian calendar , with stricter criteria for leap years .\nthe ancient roman calendar added an extra month every few years to maintain the correct seasonal changes , similar to the chinese leap month .\na leap year occurs every 4 years in the ethiopian calendar when one extra day is added at the end of the year . more\nhis game is leap years above anyone ,\nthe scout said .\ncontinues to shine and impress .\none year has the length of 365 days , 5 hours , 48 minutes and 45 seconds . this is hard to calculate with , so a normal year has been given 365 days and a leap year 366 days . in leap years , february 29th is added as leap day , which doesn ' t exist in a normal year . a leap year is every 4 years , but not every 100 years , then again every 400 years . this year 2018 isn ' t a leap year . the last leap year was 2016 , the next will be 2020 .\n. however , around 10 bc , it was found that the priests in charge of computing the calendar had been adding leap years every three years instead of the four decreed by caesar ( vardi 1991 , p . 239 ) . as a result of this error , no more leap years were added until 8\nyes . the chinese calendar has leap years featuring leap months - rather than leap days as in the gregorian . a hindu leap year also features an extra month . the ethiopian calendar has 13 months , where the 13th month has five days in a common year and six in a leap year . the islamic leap year occurs 11 times in a 30 - year cycle . and a jewish leap year has between 383 and 385 days , occurring seven times in a 19 - year cycle .\nagain , this adjustment is not exactly correct because it effectively adds 6 hours per year rather than the exact amount of the discrepancy . to compensate for this , most century years ( like 1700 , 1800 and 1900 ) are not leap years . the exception to this is years divisible by 400 ( 1600 , 2000 , 2400 and so on ) , which are still leap years .\nwe add a leap day on february 29 , almost every four years . the leap day is an extra , or intercalary , day and we add it to the shortest month of the year , february .\ni might get flak for this but one of the reasons why i have refused to watch the leap years is because if their sub - standard trailers . they were played tirelessly on all channels , including tvmobile and the commentator\u2019s lines were downright tacky . \u201cbe sure to catch the leap years , or you\u2019ll have to wait for another 4 years ! \u201d\nleap year s2 trailer ( feat . eliza dushku , emma caulfield , joshua malina & steven weber ) | leap year\na leap year , but the years 1700 , 1800 , and 1900 were not . the complete list of leap years in the first half of the 21st century is therefore 2000 , 2004 , 2008 , 2012 , 2016 , 2020 , 2024 , 2028 , 2032 , 2036 , 2040 , 2044 , and 2048 .\nto combat this , the leap second was introduced in 1972 , using atomic clocks \u2013 which only lose one second every 100 million years \u2013 as a more \u2018correct\u2019 standard for time . since its first use , a leap second has been added around once every 1 . 5 years .\nqualification : semi -

hoop after more than 50 years .\nthe gregorian calendar , named after calendar reformer pope gregory xiii , solves this problem by leaving out three julian leap - days every 400 years . algorithmically , if the year is divisible by 100 , avoid the leap - day unless the year is divisible by 400 .\ntruth be told , i had no intention of watching leap years if it was not for malique whom was so impassionate in recommending it to me .\nten years ago , leap legal software had grown slowly to only 27 employees its first 14 years in business . today it has a team of 300 and generates $ 50 million in annual revenue . leap accelerated its growth dramatically by tying its team ' s pay to achievement of its quarterly goals .\nand it certainly opened the way for later toolmaking , some 2 . 5 million years ago , and probably set the stage for the eventual enlargement of the hominid brain , not before two million years ago .\nafter six years one woman will finally decide the wording for her husband ' s headstone . some people are at last scattering the ashes of loved ones having put it off for years .\na common year is 365 days , which is about a quarter of a day shorter than a tropical year . at 366 days , leap years are three - quarters of a day longer than a tropical year . over time , the combination of common and leap years keeps us roughly in sync with the earth ' s orbit of the sun .\nthe year is also evenly divisible by 400 . then it is a leap year .\nyears which are both divisible by 100 and not divisible by 400 . therefore , the year 2000\nbased upon the novella , leap of love , by feted local author dr . catherine lim , this film adaptation chronicles a love that blossoms on a leap day , february 29th as we follow the lovers through the twists and turns of a breathtaking romance spanning 24 years .\nthe chart below shows how the date of the northern summer solstice will drift over the course of a 400 - year leap cycle .\n10 . parties are sometimes thrown to celebrate leap days . there is no special leap day food but if there was , it would probably be frog\u2019s legs .\n8 . the chance of being born on a leap day is often said to be one in 1 , 461 . four years is 1 , 460 days and adding one for the leap year you have 1 , 461 . so , odds of 1 / 1 , 461 .\nthe songs from tindersticks ' new collection of reworkings , across six leap years , don ' t stray far from the original pieces , instead acting as tasteful updates that add a dab of cohesion .\nin addition to the leap year , our clocks and calendars also undergo finer adjustments : leap seconds , which are extra seconds inserted into certain days to adjust for irregularities in the rotation of the earth .\nadding a leap year day every four years helps , but as you can see there is still some significant drift . after 200 years we ' re already a day out of synch , but in the other direction . we ' ve made the calendar year longer than it ought to be .\ncaesar\u2019s model helped realign the roman calendar , but it had one small problem . since the solar year is only . 242 days longer than the calendar year and not an even . 25 , adding a leap year every four years actually leaves an annual surplus of roughly 11 minutes . this minute discrepancy meant that the julian calendar drifted off course by one day every 128 years , and by the 14th century it had strayed 10 days off the solar year . to fix the glitch , pope gregory xiii instituted a revised \u201cgregorian calendar\u201d in 1582 . in this model , leap years occur ever four years except for years evenly divisible by 100 and not by 400 . for example , the year 1900 was not a leap year because it was divisible by 100 , but not 400 . the pope\u2019s updated calendar remains in use to this day , but it\u2019s still not perfect\u2014experts note that the remaining discrepancies will need to be addressed in around 10 , 000 years .\nthe modern result of all this squabbling is our current system of adding an extra day every four years . to adjust for the uneven precision of the fraction , every 100 years we also skip this rule and drop the extra day . then , every 400 years we skip the skipping rule and have an extra day again . yes , it\u2019s complicated .\nno perfect calendar : why we have leap years and why the earth\u2032s always out of sync | science | in -

to keep our calenders in sync , stupid - but here are some crazy facts about february 29 that won ' t make you yawn .\nso another rule says that every 400 years is a leap year again . this gets us 365 . 2425 days per year ( 1 day regained every 400 years = 0 . 0025 days per year ) , which is close enough to 365 . 242375 not to matter much .\nmay be used for all years to generate meaningful and consistent results . however , dates obtained using\nuntil you figure out who ends up where , the time -

- then the iers might have called for a negative leap second . there has never been a negative leap second , so no time keeping system has been tested with one . indeed , many precision time keeping systems are known not to be prepared to implement a negative leap second .\nwhile the current actors karthika nair and rajneesh duggal though will remain as the story will be show from their point of view . though their roles will be reduced and focus will be on leap track . the show started off with decent ratings but is not taking off as expected . hopefully , the leap will help the show\u2019s popularity .\nfor around five million \u2018leapers\u2019 february 29 is a special day , their birthday . it only happens once every four years and signifies an important reorganisation of time . but what is a leap year and are there any other \u2018leaps\u2019 that keep our clocks accurate to the microsecond ?\nand why on earth would anyone promise to wait 4 years to have a date with someone ? that\u2019s crazy . i meet cartcart every six months and it\u2019s already immensely hard . if we had to meet every 4 years , i think i\u2019d probably die from heartbreak .\nin about 600 years ti will be ahead of ut1 by half an hour , and in about 1000 years the difference will be a full hour . this means that when a ti clock says 12 : 00 it will still be an hour before noon in greenwich . the situation in 1000 years is , of course , much the same as what happens all summer long as a result of civil summer / daylight time . however the difference does not stop growing at one hour .\nso not only are leap years the result of millennia of mathematical work , they are also the consequence of rulers imposing their will on people\u2019s day to day lives , and the gradual understanding of our place in the universe . controlling calendars means controlling the rhythms of a culture \u2013 which is something for all of us to think about on february 29 .\nmost of the time , a year is made up of 365 days . but this year , just like 2012 , and the year four years before that , has 366 . and that vital extra day , a leap day , is ( partly ) what keeps our calendars in working order .\nso every 100 years we don ' t have a leap year , and that gets us 365 . 24 days per year ( 1 day less in 100 year = - 0 . 01 days per year ) . closer , but still not accurate enough !\nin 1969 a number of scientific unions called for an international and interdisciplinary study group to find a new scheme . disregarding that call , the ccir study group met in late 1969 and proposed the leap second scheme to the ccir . at the plenary meeting in early 1970 the ccir unilaterally decided to institute leap seconds - - beginning in 1972 - - with less than two years of advance notice . furthermore , the ccir failed to send a letter to the iau notifying them of the impending change . without official notification the iau general assembly in august 1970 had no basis for objecting to the impending change . astronomers responded to the ccir with a resolution stating that utc with leap seconds represented the\noptimum solution\nin the face of\nconflicting requirements\nof users of time , but they could not take final action until the general assembly held in 1973 , which was after leap seconds had begun .\nat torino the proponents of omitting leap seconds supposed that the governments of the world might handle this situation using leap hours introduced into civil time by occasionally omitting the annual\nspring forward\nchange to jump to summer / daylight time . however there are serious questions raised by the notion of a leap hour . given that the first leap hour would not happen for centuries , it is not clear that any systems ( legal or technological ) would build in the necessary complexity for handling it . this seems to be likely even if the notion of the leap hour were built into the new radio broadcasts from their inception . this might mean that posterity would have to face a severe choice : either undertake an expensive and expansive y2k - like systems review or face an eventual disagreement over what day of the week it would be .\natomic clocks , however , tick away at pretty much the same speed over millions of years . compared to the earth ' s rotation , atomic clocks are simply too consistent .\nbut the julian calendar was not perfect either , since the year was in fact just a little bit shorter than 365 . 25 days . pope gregory corrected this mistake in his gregorian calendar of 1582 . as well as adding a leap day every four years , he also opted to lose three days every 400 years . this was a catholic decision , which protestant and orthodox calendars resisted for some time . greece was the last country to accept the gregorian reform in 1923 .\nthis table shows that although leap seconds in utc will become more and more frequent , the current scheme for utc will almost certainly work for the next 1200 years . this gives plenty of time to develop a solution which satisfies the systems that need atomic time as well as civilizations that are accustomed to mean solar time .\nthe year 2000 , for example , was a leap year , since it was divisible by four . but since it was also divisible by 400 , the dropping of the extra day every 100 years was not carried out . this long - term solution creates an average year length of 365 . 2425 days , still slightly off the required target of 365 . 2421897 days , making even this complicated modern arrangement incorrect by one day over a period of just under 4 , 000 years .\nthe evolving relationships among five new york city friends are chronicled in an unusual drama that jumps back and forth in time , taking place in the years 1993 , 2001 and 2008 .\nas seen in the table above , the long term effect of omitting leap seconds is inevitable even though the calendar year of any particular difference is impossible to predict . the most significant alteration of the above table would be determined by the date at which the itu might decide to make a change in broadcast time signals . the year 2022 was offered at the colloquium in torino as a reasonable compromise , but it is much farther into the future than many proponents for omitting leap seconds would like ( indeed , some seem to promote omitting any further leap seconds in utc starting immediately ) .\nthe current rules for leap seconds in utc are specified by itu - r tf . 460 . they state that a leap second may be added ( or subtracted ) at the end of any month , but that first preference is given to june and december , and second preference is given to march and september . after the si second was defined it became evident that the length of the si second happens to match the length of the mean solar second at around the year 1820 . if we start with the length of day in the year 1820 and calculate the tidal deceleration using the rates listed above , then the following predicted rates for the insertion of leap seconds applies .\nfield is 29 because 2004 is a leap year , and if the date of this instance is february 1 , 2005 , it ' s 28 .\nli -

known rajesh khanna to dizzy fame , was shot without sharmila tagore ( common fodder for many a film trivia conversation ) . this debate , a little more unusually , focused on the book that the coquettishly dimpling tagore is shown to be reading in the train as khanna serenades her from a jeep running alongside .\naap ki kasam is a 1974 hindi film directed and produced by j . om prakash .\ni f it weren ' t for gulshan nanda , aradhana -

- sachin bhowmick . the next day , samanta had made up his mind to scrap aradhana .\nit so happened that writers gulshan nanda and madhusudan kalelkar dropped into his office that day and they noticed that he was tense .\noriginally , aradhana was to have rajesh khanna die at the interval point and a new hero would come in . instead , gulshan nanda suggested why not have a double role of father and son . dad loved the idea and went on to make the film .\nwhile actors spend years and do films before that one elusive hit that launches them to stardom , in case of rajesh khanna success came in only with his fourth film \u2014 aradhana ( 1969 ) . as arun driving an open -

marital sex permissible for the first time on the screen in an age of conventions and conformism . aradhana catapulted him to glory and made him the first superstar of the bollywood . his do raaste was released within weeks of aradhana and he was established as a major star with both the films celebrating a silver jubilee . after this , there was no looking back for khanna who became a phenomenon .\nhe first achieved acclaim in aradhana ( worship , 1969 ) , playing two roles \u2013 the husband and grown -

most important technician in the hindi film universe . even today , music maestro ar rahman\u2019s presence in a forthcoming release is enough to create a buzz about the film . to this extent , a film\u2019s musical score is not just an avenue to create excitement or to advertise the film , but also an opportunity for film producers to sell music rights and recover costs .\nno , not at all . amar prem may feel a bit dated , but if you see aradhana today it works well . namak haram is far more relevant today .\ndoli ( 1969 ) by adurthi subba rao kaka once again plays a middle class hero , this time round romancing babita kapoor . however , things get a bit complicated when prem chopra arrives on the scene .\nashim was planning his son aditya\u2019s acting debut and thought about casting him in the remake of aradhana . \u201cbut i realised that people would compare him to rajesh khanna . so i am launching him in yeh jo mohabbat hai and making aradhana later ( with aditya in the lead ) , \u201d he says . ashim has also spoken to khanna about another film , which will have the actor in an important role , but it depends on the actor\u2019s health .\naradhana was khanna\u2019s third film and his biggest hit . the actor essays the role of an airforce officer , arun varma , who has a secret wedding with vandana ( sharmila tagore ) , and dies in an air -

border terrorism , internal insurrections and the like . decades later , it would indeed have been diverting to check if at all the scriptwriter\u2019s imagination coincided with reality .\nsome pioneer tv stations repeatedly telecast one tamil film for a record number of times -

flying globalized jai ho , it is an interesting journey which captures the major artistic influences and milestones in hindi film music\u2019s evolution . that\u2019s why these 5 songs define hindi film music to me ! \u201d\nbollywood - also known as hindi film cinema , is one of the largest film production centers in the world . bollywood is not the only film producer in india , but it is one of the largest . bollywood is located in mumbai , india - formally known as bombay . the name was created by combining the\nb\nfrom bombay with hollywood . the history of bollywood goes back to the early 1930 ' s when it was called tollywood - the film industry was based in tallygunge , calcutta at the time . in the 1970 ' s bollywood was heavily focused on producing commercial cinema , and america fell second to india in film production . by the 2000 ' s bollywood was popular across the world , and big investments were made in technology . most bollywood movies are musicals , usually the music is produced in a studio , and the actors lip - sync for the films . the music from these movies has been heavily sampled , particularly in hip - hop music .\nnumber one had never been issued on dvd for many years , but old copies on vhs existed . on november 12 , 2015 however , mgm released the film on dvd for the first time .\nkishore kumar\u2019s smoulderingly passionate rendition of roop tera mastana ( and for that matter his other aradhana - renditions like mere sapnonki rani and kora kaagaz tha yeh man mera ) brought in a new macho romanticism . his easy - going , straight - to - heart singing now became the preferred style over mohd . rafi\u2019s more intricate yet nuanced style . as a singer , for almost two decadeskishore had stayed in rafi\u2019s shadows . there were even times ( as in ragini and shararat ) when composers had used rafi\u2019s playback for his screen persona . but aradhana\u2019s success changed all that . kishore kumar was the new rage of nation and he emerged as the voice , who would dominate the 70s and the 80s .\nkhanna plays a jealous husband in this film , not a role that would endear him to one and all . he played it convincingly , overshadowing sanjeev kumar , an undoubtedly better actor . the film is also remembered for its foot - tapping number jai jai shiv shankar with his co - star mumtaz where , high on bhang ( a drink made with cannabis ) , they prance on a hill .\naaja aaja main hoon pyar tera from 1966 - film teesri manzil ushered in another new era . it was the breakthrough composition for rahul devburman , a man who would go on to give a new dimension to hindi film music with his innovative fusion of various musical styles . pancham had debuted five years before teesri manzil but his early compositions had failed to separate him from his father sachin dev burman\u2019s towering shadow .\nthe loquacious lover of aradhana and andaz , who swept the heroine off her feet with his charm and simplicity , acquired a serious countenance in aap ki kasam and safar . in aap ki kasam , it was a marriage soured by suspicion . khanna slipped into the soul of the character so unobtrusively that the audience felt it was a chunk from his real life .\nmere jeevan saathi is a 1972 film directed by ravikant nagaich and produced by vinod shah , starring rajesh khanna and tanuja in lead roles and sujit kumar in supporting role . rajesh khanna plays the lead role as a blind person . the music composed by r . d . burman was all time hit . the most popular songs of the film are \u2018o mere dil ke chain\u2019 and \u2018chala jata hoon\u2019 sung by kishore kumar\ni watched\nto each his own\nin the later part of the 60s , enjoyed the story and acting very much . then watched aradhana in the early 70s , also a well made and acted movie . i noticed the storyline was identical in many aspects . it became a tremendous super hit in india and shakti samantha received accoladaes for writing such a fresh storyline .\nyou think zanjeer is the first time you see amitabh ' s angry young man , but it is in namak haram ( both film were released in 1973 ) that the angry young man finally comes into his own .\nhindi cinema is replete with innumerable such instances . songs in hindi films have been the invisible stars , with the power to do much more than entertain . not only have they boosted the fate of lacklustre films , they have made fortunes for filmmakers and actors alike . in many cases , for decades after the film itself has been forgotten , its music has remained fresh and as much loved as it was when the film was released .\naan milo sajna ( 1970 ) by mukul dutt kaka plays a local peasant and asha parekh is his love interest . the film is remembered especially for its songs like aan milo sajnaand achcha to hum chalte hain among others .\nif one artiste is to be credited for this mind - boggling paradigm shift , it would have to be a . r . rahman . with his genius , this mozart from madras has blurred the musical boundaries between bollywood , kollywood and hollywood . he has changed hindi film music like no one has . his critics may be right when they say that under his influence hindi film music has no longer remained hindi ( or hindustani ) in its essence .\naradhana set me thinking : how many earlier mainstream film - makers were meticulous enough to create two distinct eras in movies that dealt with different generations ? answering that question would entail a viewing of dozens of films but one can safely make an educated guess : very , very few . off the top of my head i can think of manoj kumar\u2019s 1970 film purab aur paschim , in which the past , beginning in the year of the quit india movement , had a distinctly different feel ( it was also shot in black - and - white before switching to colour for the present , perhaps a first for a mainstream film ) . then there\u2019s ramesh sippy\u2019s television epic buniyaad , whose progression from 1915 to the 1960s was handled with the necessary changes in production design , costume , language and political - cultural references . buniyaad \u2019s last episode was set in 1964 , the year jawaharlal nehru died , but it also had a 20 - year flash forward \u2014 the 90th birthday of its protagonist master haveli ram , who , in the continuing interests of period authenticity , is shown talking on a cordless telephone .\nhe continued to appear in a handful of films and tv serials until 2010 , by which time he had been credited in more than 150 titles . twinkle , his elder daughter , is married to the indian film star akshay kuma .\nfor a long time he was trying to be relevant . he became friendly with non - film people . he joined politics in 1990 and was in mp from 1991 to 1996 . and he spent a lot of time in delhi .\nsachcha jhootha ( 1970 ) by manmohan desai kaka plays a village bumpkin who happens to have a crooked lookalike . the film also stars mumtaz and vinod khanna . of the tracks , dil sachaa aur chehra jhutharendered by kishore kumar is quite memorable .\nmehboob ki mehndi ( 1971 ) by h s rawail kaka plays the son of a wealthy businessman and romances leena chandavarkar who portrays his nephew\u2019s new tutor . an unforgettable tune from the film is mere diwanepan ki bhi dawa nahinsung by kishore kumar .\ni liked anand . you would have to be very insensitive not to be moved by the film . but for me when i think of rajesh khanna the images that come to my mind are amar prem , namak haram and aap ki kasam .\n( 1941 ) , the film\u2019s composer ghulam haider became something of an overnight celebrity for composing a soundtrack that merged punjabi folk with classical raagas . since then , composers like c ramchandra , naushad , sd burman , laxmikant - pyarelal and ar rahman have determined the fortunes of many a film . shankar - jaikishan were very much the dominant composer duo of the 1950s and 1960s , and it is hard , in particular , to look at raj kapoor\u2019s legacy without their compositions for his films .\ni don ' t understand the praises one gets from a duplicated idea . . . . i would however understand a truthful acknowlegement from the filmakers that the story is based on an original version and place a footnote in the titles saying so . . . . due credit should be received for one ' s original work . in this case aradhana only become a success because of it ' s storyline , and of course the actors .\ns amanta was keen on madhubala for howrah bridge but he didn ' t know her personally . so , he told ashok kumar to put in a word . samanta went to meet her with rs 20 , 000 as a signing amount ( she used to charge rs 75 , 000 those days ) .\ndad started the narration with her character , that of a christian girl who speaks like , ' humko tumse pyaar maangta hai . ' when madhubala heard that , she burst out laughing and agreed to do the film without actually hearing the story .\nshe even refused to accept any payment before the film ' s shooting .\nshe asked dad for one rupee as a signing amount and said the rest he can pay after the film is complete .\nthe contention here is that if the tamil films - subtitled in sinhala - were telecast the tamil audience too can watch , while those who can ' t understand tamil can follow the subtitles . they can ' t understand hindi anyway . hence it won ' t make any difference whether it is a tamil film or hindi film . but it does make a difference to the tamil audience . when hindi films telecast with subtitles in sinhala the tamil audience is kept out . they can read neither hindi nor sinhala .\nactor shammi kapoor is perhaps one of those greats in the hindi film industry who is known and loved entirely through his songs . the \u2018rock - n - roll\u2019 , bon vivant image that the actor enjoyed was shaped by innumerable memorable hit numbers , including \u2018\nsafar ( 1970 ) by asit sen kaka and sharmila tagore play medical students . the tenth top - grossing production of the year , the film won two filmfare awards . of the songs , the track zindagi ka safar sung by kishore kumar deserves special mention .\nand i read that you then had to leave school because at that time being a film actress and then in hindi films was really looked down upon , so you actually left school ? and then you went on to hindi films and then ' evening in paris ' , which then created a sensation of a completely different kind . were you in two minds at all about taking on that role , especially because you came from very illustrious family , satyajit ray film heroine and then a very different kind of a role completely ?\nadmittedly , films that have a specific timeline and encompass historical events in their narrative are the ones that are more authentic in portraying different time spans . i\u2019m guessing that in the workaday 20 - year leaps \u2014 the aradhana kinds \u2014 authenticity would actually be undesirable . for instance , sharmila tagore would probably have to dress in staid khadi and refrain from openly romancing her iaf officer among other things . too inconvenient all this for a movie whose main aim is to entertain .\nand madhusudan kalelkar visited his office . upon hearing the issue , it was gulshan nanda who suggested to have a double role of father and son in the film . originally the first hero was to die by the interval and a new hero was to step in .\nhis 17 hits from the early period follow an interesting template . in every film he does not overshadow his co - star . the women have neatly etched roles - - in films like kati patang and amar prem . also , those films had great supporting actors .\nwhat ' s in a name ? rajesh khanna ' s original name was jatin khanna , while his friends and family members called him kaka at home . the name \u2018rajesh khanna\u2019 was given to him by his uncle kk talwar after his decision to join the film industry .\nfuelling this addiction was the stint at film institute , pune , where tom received an offer from satyajit ray , who signed him up for shatranj ke khiladi . for those who typecast tom in the foreigner villain\u2019s role , it\u2019s important to know that ray chose him for his mastery over urdu . recalls tom , \u201cthe most challenging scene in the film has me playing the interpreter between richard attenborough and the mother of wajid ali shah . i am translating urdu into english and vice versa . that scene is the loveliest scene i\u2019ve ever shot . \u201d\nthe film is on youtube and worth watching . he has long scenes with padmini who was a throwback to ' 50s cinema . she is very theatrical and rolling her eyes . but you should watch it muted and see how comfortable rajesh khanna is in those emotional scenes .\nthe early hindi film - music of the 1930s and 40s had a distinct identity . it mostly relied on hindustani classical and folk - tunes ; had sparse orchestration and had a surplus of sentimental melancholic songs . kundanlalsaigal\u2019snasal tinged voice was undoubtedly the star voice of that era .\nnumber one was a commercial failure , but critical reaction was mixed . the film , and particularly heston ' s performance , did earn a rave review from howard thompson of the new york times , who called the\nconsistently engrossing\nfilm ,\n. . . a succinct , stinging and often strong gridiron drama . . . .\nthompson described heston ' s performance as\na brooding , scorching and beautifully disciplined tour de force for the actor . . . . if heston could have been better , we don ' t know how ."]}

madhuri ) gained much importance . it is now widely used as a dirge . this song has an interesting story behind it . the song was written by a german missionary , rev . fr volbrecht nagel in 1904 while he was a parish priest in malabar region . vayalar modified the song by changing a few words , but keeping the feel and idea of the original intact . the original song written by fr . nagel is said to have been inspired by an old spiritual written by wallace willis in the 1860s , \u2018swing low sweet chariot\u2026\u2019 and another interesting fact is that the tune of the malayalam song from the film resembled the american western folk ballad \u2018oh my darling clementine\u2026\u2019 fr . nagel\u2019s prayer must have been in circulation much before its was included in \u2018aranazhikaneram . \u2019 but it gained popularity as a dirge only after it was included in the film .\nkottarakara\u2019s acting surpasses everyone . infact many people consider it par above even his own in chemmeen . ofcourse ragini , sheela and adoor basi have made this movie one of the memorable movies in malayalam cinema .\ni think im blessed , so far no complaints , and want to take things as it comes . love malayalam literature and want my friends too enjoy a bit of it . live for the moment is my motto\nthis site uses akismet to reduce spam . learn how your comment data is processed .\nprivacy & cookies : this site uses cookies . by continuing to use this website , you agree to their use . to find out more , including how to control cookies , see here : cookie policy\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nthis film explores the disillusionment and worries of of an elderly man living in kerala , and as his family members and friends are shown is selfish ways , he finds himself repeatedly . . . see full synopsis \u00bb\nthe\nmost anticipated indian movies and shows\nwidget tracks the real -

picture fraternity is involved in a heated war of words \u2013 when the state government announces the annual film awards . last year , when noted filmmaker adoor gopalakrishnan\u2019s art film vidheyan nudged out the box - office hit manichitrathazhu to win the best film award , the issue was endlessly debated in the front pages of malayalam newspapers . this year , it was no different . last fortnight , kazhakam , a low - budget film on the plight of temple workers scored over kaalapaani \u2013 at rs 5 crore , the costliest malayalam movie ever made \u2013 to win the best film award .\nsparks began to fly as soon as state culture minister t . m . jacob announced the awards on february 16 . seema sasi , a former malayalam film star and a member of the jury , told journalists that kazhakam did not deserve the award . \u201cit is a stupid movie . these bearded arty guys can never compose a frame comparable to the spectacular kaalapaani . \u201d sasi alleged that it had won the award only because v . r . gopinath , an \u201cart \u201d film director and member of the jury , had threatened to resign . malayalam superstar mohanlal , a co - producer of kaalapaani , declined the award for the second best film . \u201ci believe kaalapaani is the first international - standard malayalam film and deserves encouragement , \u201d he said . the film\u2019s technical team , which worked two years to complete kerala\u2019s first multilingual mega - starrer , was also unhappy although kaalapaani won six awards , including the best actor for mohanlal . says the film\u2019s director s . priyadarshan : \u201cmuch research , money and effort went into the film\u2019s making . i wish the committee had been made of knowledgeable people . \u201d many kerala\u2019s top filmmakers too supported kaalapaani\u2019s producers .\ndespite the flak , the jury stuck to its guns . says gopinath : \u201cthe best film award is not decided on the production cost , cast or special effects of a film , but on its total artistic merit . kazhakam stands out in all aspects . \u201d m . p . sukumaran nair , the 36 - year - old director of kazhakam , too defended his film . \u201cmy film is actually a simple work . \u201d\nother \u2018art\u2019 filmmakers backed nair . says director t . v . chandran : \u201cthough my film did not win the award , i am happy it has gone to kazhakam . \u201d in 1990 , nair\u2019s debut venture aparahnam won the stat e award for the second - best film and also won a special mention at the mannheim film festival in germany . sadly , both films are yet to find a distributor in kerala , thus burdening him with a rs 16 lakh debt .\neminent writer and chairman of the jury malayatoor ramakrishnan , however , felt that the whole controversy was simply uncalled for . \u201call the decisions taken by the jury were unanimous . there was never any pressure exerted on us , \u201d he said .\nthough the movie shows the life of people who earn their living by doing service in the temple , it particularly revolves around radha a young and innocent girl who has given her entire life in doing services to god . she lives with her aged mother who lost her son narayanan kutty in an accident and lives in his memory . sometimes she feels he is alive and has hallucinations about him . radha is so kind and patient and attends all her needs . she makes garlands for lord krishna and milks the cows and give the milk to the society .\nradha\u2019s day starts by lighting the temple lamps and she does not have a minute to spare . she is liked by everyone in the temple . when ever some bhajan groups come she accommodates them in the temple . once there were a group of three people , an old couple with the young girl called saradha . she is childless and seems to be suffering from some mental problem . the father leaves them and comes and visits them when he has time . saradha was hysterical and sometimes has nightmares . she feels as though some creatures are creeping all over her body and suddenly starts bleeding . radha calms her down and sleep with her .\nsaradha\u2019s husband is in gulf . she never got a chance to see him after marriage , that is almost 3 years now . she felt so secure in radha\u2019s company . they left after a week . kalyani , radha\u2019s friend has a very bad opinion about saradha\u2019s character . but radha never gives room for gossips . the gaurdian of the temple sometimes read romantic novels and smokes too . the other guardian thirumeni is too takes drinks once in a way when he travels . but they do all rituals in the temple with so much devotion . radha\u2019s mother fell down while plucking flowers and she has to be nursed for few days .\nradha has another guest now . rahavan master a school teacher wants radha to accommodate another guest , a new appointee nandini who is joining the school and has no place to stay . she is married to a postman and posted in rahavan master\u2019s school . she has a baby and her husband could not join her . she found radha\u2019s place safe and secure and her husband visits her during weekends . radha is so attached to the baby .\nsometimes her husband visits her and radha feels lonely and thinks that she lost some good things in life after seeing them intimate . but she tells herself that she is dedicating her life only to lord krishna , though she had a crush on her brother\u2019s friend once . but nothing materialized . nandini was pregnant with her second baby . she could not spend much time with kannan . kannan spends most of his time with radha .\none day kannan fell sick . he was running high temperature . radha tried all home remedies but nothing worked . they took him to the local vaidhyar who said it is a serious illness and gave some medicine . still he wasn\u2019t alright . they have to rush to the town hospital and he was given drips . everyone was very anxious . radha never left him even for a minute .\nin spite of good medical treatment kannan succumbed to the illness . more than his parents radha got affected by his death . he started behaving in a strange manner . she believed kannan is alive and started playing with him , feeding him and sleeping with him . she started performing the last rites for him . thirumeni and others tried to stop her from behaving like this . but she was adamant . she says it is actually krishna himself chose to live with her for few days and she has to do her duty as a mother . she asked the temple guardian to give free meals to all those who visit the temple on that day . thirumeni was so sure that she has lost her mental balance .\noneday she took all the toys kannan used to play with , in a cloth , removed all her jewelry and made it as a bundle . she went to the pond nearby and just immersed herself with the bundle . probably she couldn\u2019t continue living without kannan .\nurvasi has given a stellar performance and she didn\u2019t take a single penny for her role .\nsuper hit malayalam songs from 1 . thanks a lot pradeep for sharing this list , this is just awesome selection . great work buddy . aaayiram kannumaay -

[ 11 ]\nthis happily scattershot approach obviously comes with its ups and downs . the introduction of a film - within - a - film subplot , whereby a set of disgruntled producers complain about the scandalous content of the film they ( and we ) are seeing , feels superfluous , an almost adolescent attempt to self - reflexively big - up its own daring . the increasing reliance on bad taste can also get enervating at times , even as it does indeed liven up the continuing stream of dominatrix interventions . in the film\u2019s more calculated moments , you get the feeling that masumoto is all too concerned with playing to the midnight - screening gallery , where superficiality , shock value , and crassness are often virtues rather than stumbling blocks .\nit\u2019s certainly an unusual and provocative premise but not one that necessarily lends itself to a feature - length format and so it proves with a film that quickly becomes an exercise in repetitive weirdness . i do enjoy strange cinema but it is hard to ascertain the intentions of matsumoto and this story of humiliation and arousal . perhaps i am doing a disservice to the film and it possesses\u2026\nactress lindsay kay hayward is warning viewers not to talk or text during an exclusive nsfw \u2018 r100 \u2032 psa . the clip for the s & m - themed comedy - drama showcases american actress lindsay kay hayward warning audiences that if they talk or text , they\u2019ll get a spanking from a 6\u20198\u2033 amazonian with a wooden paddle . the trailer for \u2018 r100 , \u2019 which is currently playing in theaters and on demand , begins with hayward introducing herself , as she sits in front of a poster for the comedy - drama , as well as several s & m - themed accessories . she laughs as she informs viewers that if they talk or text while watching the film , she\u2019ll hunt them down . she amusingly adds that she [ read more ] the post lindsay kay hayward warns not to talk or text during exclusive nsfw r100 psa appeared first on shockya . com .\nthe exquisite live - action quill : the life of a guide dog may be the family film of the year . quill , also referred to sporadically as qoo , is a labrador retriever born\u2026\neven if you like bizarre movies , you ' ll probably like\nr100 ,\nthen hate it , then go back to liking it , then wonder what you ' re looking at . and then the movie will end .\nshot in gloomy desaturated colors , \u201cr100\u201d focuses on one takafumi katayama ( nao omori ) , a sad - sack furniture salesman who is caring for his cute young son while his wife ( you ) vegetates in an irreversible coma .\nin a comedic performance as a dead - pan , no - nonsense police officer , matsumoto asks the question : \u201cwhat happens if you get what you asked for ? \u201d matsumoto set out to create a \u201cfar - out absurd nonsensical movie\u201d that is kinky and even silly , full of s & m sexual fantasies . that\u2019s a subject matsumoto has explored in his comedy skits and radio shows . he was intending to break down the notion of comedy . while his last three films used improvisation and employed a mockumentary style , with \u201cr100\u201d matsumoto stayed close to the script and hired professional actors . in that sense , \u201cr100\u201d resembles the more conventional structure of a feature film .\nr100 , the outrageously funny film from matsumoto hitoshi will be out in cinemas and on vod on january 23rd from drafthouse films . we have an outrageous clip to share with you . it is from early on in the film and features our lead omori nao and tominaga ai , the first of many dominatrices you will meet during the course of the film . you would assume that the couple are out for a nice cup of coffee . omori is probably thrilled that a young woman as stunning as tominaga is sitting at the same table as him . and then he asks her if she knows the answer to his question . her response ? at first she seems drawn in . those words . those lyrics . then ? well , you will just have to watch , . . .

( a r18 is the japanese equivalent of an nc - 17 . )\nthe brilliance of \u201cr100 , \u201d if that word can be used to describe the film , is that it ramps up the bizarre meter so slowly that the audience never consciously realizes how subtly they were sucked into an uncertain absurdist unreality . one of the few things i know for sure is that i used the word \u201cif\u201d in four of the previous five sentences . that many qualifiers are unavoidable in order to accurately assess something so firmly entrenched in \u201cfor acquired tastes only\u201d territory .\n, a documentary that follows matsumoto over six months in 2010 . it has some fascinating behind the scenes look at matsumoto ' s process working with writers and other comedians and as he begins work on his third film ,\nthe r100 title is a play on the movie ratings r - 15 and r - 18 and represents the main character , played by omori , breaking through boundaries . filming wrapped last month , but further plot details and the production budget have not yet been announced .\nno one under 100 will be admitted !\ndang this looks crazy . drafthouse films has debuted their official us trailer for hitoshi matsumoto ' s r100 , a funky , wacky japanese thriller about a man ( nao ohmori of ichi the killer ) who joins an s & m club and gets into some crazy shit when dominatrices appear and kick his ass anytime of the day . the title r100 is a riff on the japanese movie rating system , whose equivalent to nc - 17 is r18 , and this is playing on the idea that it ' s not okay for anyone under 100 . ha . the new poster is a bit too much , aiming to sell it purely on the sex / s & m angle , but the trailer hints at the absurdity of the film in so many other ways . this definitely isn ' t for everyone , but it ' s not just for s & m fans either , i think . have fun . here ' s the official us trailer for hitoshi matsumoto ' s r100 ,\ni think the film veers off too far into such strangeness ( could there be a japanese tv game show spun off from all this ? ) , but connoisseurs of this kind of thing will find the ripeness hard to resist .\nthere is a point where characters sit in a waiting room and discuss the same r100 we ' re currently watching . after exhibiting exasperation at the absurdity they ' ve witnessed one says\ntoo much .\ndisappointingly , the real statement should be ' not enough . '\nalong the same meta - lines spoofing the film business are several interruptions in the story when characters think they feel an earthquake coming on . this is explained as being a nod to contemporary issues , apparently a requisite in japanese films .\nfun fact : asked about his film\u2019s divided critical reception at toronto , including a drubbing in the local paper , matsumoto noted the wild response from fans at its screening . \u201cit pleased a lot of people , anyway , \u201d he said .\nthen , about 40 minutes into the film , matsumoto introduces a new meta twist . ( see the reveal . ) in keeping with the s & m theme , matsumoto keeps changing r100 \u2019s direction , defying the audience in hopes of providing a more perverse kick . often , the results are astonishing . at its best , r100 resembles some of the more outr\u00e9 takashi miike films , crossed with the punch - drunk love - like story of a nebbish who gets in over his head when he tries to pursue a few moments of joy . the plot takes some less - rewarding turns down the stretch , but after a certain point\u2014when takafumi gets caught in the crossfire between an army of sadists and the covert government agency trying to bring them down\u2014viewers have to let go of expectations and trust that matsumoto is going somewhere .\nin the end , r100 does arrive at someplace oddly beautiful , concluding with a wondrous abstract homage to all those special souls who take pleasure from pain , both physical and aesthetic . when the film works , it isn\u2019t because matsumoto is playing to the cult - movie crowd\u2014he really isn\u2019t\u2014but because he\u2019s sympathetic to all the takafumis out there who fade into the background of the service economy . when takafumi is being pursued through the streets and then kicked in the face , his giddiness in understandable . finally , somebody\u2019s paying attention to him .\nit\u2019s easier to define what r100 isn\u2019t than what it is . first of all , despite the presence of ninja dominatrices , it\u2019s not a steamy thriller , and the raincoat crowd should apply elsewhere . ( might we suggest 1992\u2019s tokyo decadence ? ) \u201ccomedy\u201d is probably the most accurate word\u2014 r100 has a devilishly warped sense of humor , even if much of it is more \u201cwhat the fuck ? \u201d than laugh - out - loud funny . and if you can\u2019t call a movie with a character named the gobble queen , who literally swallows men whole , or the spit queen ( naomi watanabe , in a standout performance ) , who specializes in drenching her victims in flavored loogies , a comedy , then what do you call it ? director hitoshi matsumoto says he wanted to make a film that transcended the idea of genre , and in that respect , he has succeeded admirably .\nr100 is a movie starring nao ohmori , mao daichi , and shinobu terajima . an ordinary man with an ordinary life joins a mysterious club . the membership lasts for one year only and there is one rule : no cancellation under any circumstance . the man enters into a . . . see full summary \u00bb\nbut in the ensuing action , which encompasses spitting , whipping and sushi pounding ( use your imagination ) , other influences are also at work . as those who follow matsumoto\u2019s tv antics know , he is a devotee of the batsu game ( punishment game ) school of humor \u2014 and \u201cr100\u201d is an extreme example of it . it is as though , free to do as liked in his own film , he dreamed up \u201cpunishments\u201d far in excess of what even japan\u2019s lenient tv censors would allow . in excess , in fact , of anything resembling comedy , black or otherwise .\njapanese cinema is well known for the weird and bizarre and r100 certainly continues this tradition . directed by hitoshi matsumoto ( big man japan ) this dark and self - reflexive comedy is centred on the awakening of a japanese salaryman who joins a mysterious bondage club where kinky and submissive experiences can happen anytime and anywhere .\nactress kirin kiki wants an ending with no twists when life gave her lemons , film star kirin kiki didn ' t make lemonade , but wild grass enzyme juice . it ' s the only thing that has satisfied her taste buds since her advanced - stage cancer caused he . . .\nso if \u201cr100\u201d is a misfire , it also has its mysteries and , since it is by the insanely talented matsumoto , it\u2019s bent appeal . i just hope that , having made this in - joke of a movie , he dreams up one for the rest of us , including this fan from the start , the next time around .\nwhen the bondage boss asks an increasingly aggrieved takafumi , \u201cisn\u2019t this what you wanted ? \u201d the nerved - up fan of hardcore genre fare becomes mindful of the \u201ccontract\u201d he signed upon entering the theater . alas , matsumoto ends up tipping the meta scale a touch too hard with intermittent scenes of censors screening a movie called \u201cr100 , \u201d directed by a century - old man in a long white beard . eventually the film runs out of satiric steam altogether , resorting to a lame war - movie climax with bondage\u2019s seven - foot tall ceo ( lindsay hayward ) as a cross between a distaff bond villain and a third reich heavy .\nvenue : toronto film festival ( midnight madness ) a warner bros . pictures presentation of a yoshimoto kogyo co . production in association with yoshimoto creative agency , phantom film cast : nao omori , mao daichi , shinobu terajima , eriko sato , ai tominaga , naomi watanabe , hairi katagiri , haruki nishimura , gin maeda , suzuki matsuo , atsuro watabe , lindsay hayward director : hitoshi matsumoto screenwriter : hitoshi matsumoto producer : akihiko okamoto executive producer : hiroshi osaki director of photography : kazushige tanaka production designer : etsuko aikou costumes : satoe araki music : hidekazu sakamoto editor : yoshitaka honda sales : free stone productions no rating , 100 minutes .\nafter beethoven\u2019s \u201code to joy\u201d plays over a montage , the manager from bondage narrates that takafumi transitioned from masochist to sadist . having submitted to a superior sadist , they in turn conceived another sadist . takafumi is then seen as a pregnant man posing for pictures with his son arashi . after the credits , the quintet outside the r100 screening room is seen again , looking flummoxed .\nsimply put , the best film i ' ve ever seen . it destroys the medium and reconstructs it , just like jesus did with it back in 1894 . tackles the relevant issue of s & m ninjas in a fresh , funny , darkly satiric way . also , the human condition is commented upon via talking about earthquakes .\nsafe , sane and consensual : katayama is never treated as a pervert for being a masochist , though it is the fodder for dark comedy . the\nconsensual\npart of the contract disappearing is actually the reason for the film ' s conflict . katayama withdraws his consent and has to fight the dominatrixes for refusing to honor his decision .\nwritten and directed by hitoshi matsumoto ; director of photography , kazushige tanaka ; edited by yoshitaka honda ; music by hidekazu sakamoto ; production design by etsuko aikou ; costumes by satoe araki ; produced by akihiko okamoto ; released by drafthouse films . in japanese , with english subtitles . running time : 1 hour 40 minutes . this film is not rated .\na totally bizarre experience that exists as two movies the one with the main characters and another involving a group of people watching a movie about the main characters . this film has to be seen to be believed it is utterly bewildering with its main character acquiring the dominatrix from hell who feels it ' s okay to attack him at any moment to the group of people watching his exploits as a film in a screening room . it appears to be a comment on what is acceptable in modern cinema especially in countries such as japan . it is laden with filth and uncouth characters such as the queen of saliva who spits on her customers but the black humour and the way some scenes are set up makes this very intriguing .\n\u201cr100\u201d ( a riff on the japanese movie rating system , whose equivalent to nc - 17 is r18 ) tells the story of lonely everyman , takafumi katayama , who hires a boutique s & m agency that specialize in random acts of extreme public degradation . at first , this changes his outlook on life for the better , but a bizarre accident violates the terms of the contract and hurdles takafumi into a confounding spiral that will test his very soul .\ni think that in japan , because i ' m really famous as a comedian , in a way it ' s a bit difficult when i make films . they ' re always seen in the background , on the side of my other activities . in other countries , i ' m more appreciated as a film director , it ' s not just a background thing . so it ' s completely different .\nit\u2019s hardly matsumoto\u2019s fault , since that\u2019s just the way the system works . strange , crazed films from japan\u2019s \u201cbrand name\u201d directors are in demand by overseas festivals \u2014 and that is what he happily supplies . but whereas 2007\u2019s \u201cdai - nipponjin ( big man japan ) , \u201d 2009\u2019s \u201csymbol\u201d and 2011\u2019s \u201csaya zamurai ( scabbard samurai ) \u201d were full - throttle comedies , if ones utterly weird by local genre standards , \u201cr100\u201d plays like a confused erotic nightmare , with fun moments scattered and few .\nnobody does bizarre quite like the japanese , and hitoshi matsumoto\u2019s latest offering is right up there in the realm of cult classics . from the opening \u2018disclaimer\u2019 right until the final post credit scene , r100 is a laugh a minute story of a furniture salesman , takafumi katayama , who joins an exclusive s & m club for a year of dominatrix attention which is delivered at random times and places . the catch is , he can\u2019t quit and has to stay the full year . sounds easy , right ?\neverything about it should provide a typically ' out there ' experience normally associated with japanese cinema , a man signs up for a year of kinkiness only to try and break away when it gets too much resulting in him being pursued by the entire organization . but , like the colour palette , the whole thing comes across as incredibly muted and never quite delivering on the r100 promise ( though i ' m sure in some way that ' s part of the joke , one that strangely we don ' t\u2026\nas if his movie cannot progress any further back into the left field it came from , matsumoto breaks the fourth wall to publicly acknowledge the mental instability of his own movie\u2019s personality . a self - aware side plot involving a focus group screening the same film verbally echoes identical sentiments of strangely delighted confusion running through the viewer\u2019s mind . matsumoto is in effect granting permission to stop questioning the madness and to start basking in the gloriousness of the insanity .\nthe first 40 minutes ( or so ) of r100 plays out in a quite\nordinary\nmanner . we get to know takafumi . his wife is in a coma since 3 years back . he has a son . he has a job as a salesman of furniture . he ' s looking for some excitement and that leads him to becoming a member of a club that offers surprise dominatrixes . they kick him around ( literally ) . they smash his sushi to mush . they hold him under water . he likes it .\ntrue , the section is devoted to quirk and kink , which fits matsumoto\u2019s fourth feature , about a man trapped in an ever - escalating s & m game , to a t . but if it did not feature the name of matsumoto , who has reigned for decades as a top tv comic , this mess of a film would probably not get the prestige boost of the toronto label , as well as its distribution in japan by hollywood major warner .\nbased on the novel by nobel laureate mo yan , red sorghum is a wonderful story of a young woman who inherits a distillery making sorghum liquour also known as kaoliang ( similar to japanese sake ) . made into an award winning film by zhang yi mou , this dance theatre adaptation presented by the song and dance theatre of qingdao performing arts group is a delight to the senses and is perhaps a closer rendition to mo yan\u2019s story as per his own admission\nmatsumoto\u2019s gigantically funny \u201cbig man japan\u201d ( 2007 ) hardly prepares one for his stylistic sadism here . so bleached of color that it\u2019s nearly black - and - white , \u201cr100\u201d begins in full - on noir mode , with takafumi katayama ( nao ohmori ) taking a beating from a cig - smoking , trenchcoat - clad bondage queen , his bruised body tumbling down a flight of stairs in a scene that playfully recalls the s & m - inflected classic \u201ckiss me deadly . \u201d the gag\u2019s visual punchline is a series of cheesy cgi ripples emanating from the head of the victim , signifying his dumbfounded ecstasy .\nrivers of spit and acres of shiny fetish wear glisten in the japanese fantasy \u201cr100 , \u201d a gleeful gross - out in which a meek salaryman hires an army of dominatrixes to do their cruel worst . the s - & - m gear has been selected with conspicuous care , from the pointy heels ( the better to kick bad boys down the stairs ) to the suitcase of instruments that look modeled on those in david cronenberg\u2019s gynecological horror show , \u201cdead ringers . \u201d in that 1988 movie , the sinister tool kit was for \u201coperating on mutant women\u201d ; here , it\u2019s hauled out to dig deeper under the viewer\u2019s skin .\nbut then the viewer has to accommodate these laugh - out - loud moments with the sobering fact that takafumi\u2019s beloved wife is in a coma and he has to look after his little boy arashi with only occasional help from grandpa . as the mix of straight drama with kinky madness gets wilder and wilder , the audience feels more and more uncomfortable about their guilty visual pleasures . it soon becomes apparent why matsumoto felt the need to preface the film with a warning that it\u2019s fictional and none of god\u2019s creatures were hurt in the making .\nthe film opens with an irresistible take - off on the dark lady thrillers of yore . in a well - heeled restaurant , takafumi is meekly talking to a sultry vamp about beethoven\u2019s ode to joy , when she kicks him in the face bruce lee style . he follows her out on the street , where she drops her trenchcoat , revealing a costume that would make victoria\u2019s secret blush , and kicks him down a flight of marble stairs . strange comic - strip ripples radiate out from his puffed - up face as he gets off on the mistreatment .\nin hitoshi matsumoto\u2019s r100 , nao omori plays takafumi katayama , a mild - mannered , deeply depressed department - store clerk who\u2019s been raising his grade - school - aged son almost on his own , while his wife lies in a coma at a nearby hospital . seeking a little escape , takafumi contracts with an unusual dominatrix service , which sends out leather - clad women to beat and humiliate him in public . but the thrills begin to cut a little close to home when the mistresses start interfering with his work , messing up his parenting , and showing up in his wife\u2019s room during visiting hours . and then takafumi discovers , to his dismay\u2014or perhaps delight\u2014that he can\u2019t cancel his subscription .\ntakafumi is pathetic because he achieves sublime transcendence every time leather - clad dominatrices beat him up . takafumi ' s masochism is , in that sense , not treated seriously\u2014sorry ,\nfifty shades of grey\nfans ! \u2014because it ' s just the catalyst for a series of abidingly strange episodes that are all about one thing : escaping the hell that is yourself . matsumoto ' s style of comedy is , in that sense , a far - flung descendant of jerry lewis ' slapstick - y , self - loathing schtick .\nr100\nis , consequently , a comedy that tries to alienate you by suggesting that escapism is futile , all things inevitably devolve , and nothing inherently means anything .\nthe climactic showdown , a crazed action set piece involving ninjas , grenades and an unexpectedly upbeat musical finish , gets at the essence of matsumoto\u2019s ingenuity : by pitting inexplicable weirdness against a somber quality , he makes bold grasps for the meaning of life and concludes his search with a shrug that serves the agenda at play : how does a ratings board apply logic to something in such gleeful defiance of it ? flaunting its extremes , \u201cr100\u201d gets away with the naughty sensibility . \u201cyou must always be submissive , \u201d takafumi is told by his captor , though the statement extends to the experience of the movie . there\u2019s no way to handle matsumoto\u2019s nutty storytelling unless you\u2019re willing to just sit back and take it .\nwhere was i ? oh , right , the plot . so , takafumi gets kicked in the face , and thrown down a flight of stairs by a very sexy , terribly bored woman , which makes takafumi realize how much he likes being dominated\u2014not necessarily in a sexual way , mind you , though yes , there is a lot of that in\nr100 .\ntakafumi desperately wants to escape his dreary home - life , which consists of taking care of son arashi ( haruki nishimoto ) while wife setsuko lies comatose in a nearby hospital . so takafumi joins a mysterious gentlemen ' s club whose services eventually escalate in perversity , from being dominated in a sushi restaurant to being flogged and spat on at home , right next door to arashi ' s bedroom .\naside from a cheeky running gag about earthquakes , matsumoto says that he isn\u2019t trying to make a larger social point here . but he does approach the subject of masochism from an interesting viewpoint . not only does r100 refrain from lampooning katayama\u2019s desire to get the crap beat out of him , it\u2019s sympathetic to it . take the scene where we see the character leaving the hospital where his wife is lying in a coma . the sky is gray , the music is melancholy , and it\u2019s all very sad . katayama walks with his shoulders slumped and his head down . then , out of nowhere , a woman clad in leather and high heels comes running towards him , knocks him to the ground , and starts kicking him violently . his face begins to contort in blissful ripples\u2014an effect rather like the lusty nosebleeds common in anime\u2014and one can feel katayama\u2019s release , the relief of feeling any sensation , even a painful one , after the numbness of grief .\nyou might not like this movie and as the movie itself states several times , that might be because you ' re too young for it . . . obviously that is meant to be a joke . and if you don ' t like the nature of the joke wait til you see the rest of it . it only gets weirder and is difficult to explain in a nutshell . a man is responsible for things going crazy for him , because he hires someone for that exact purpose . you have to really get into the mood of the film to like it and to enjoy it . something that cannot be said about the main character . on the other hand . . . who knows what is really going on with him ? you also get\nbreaks\nfrom the movie , with some weird analysis that kind of stops the flow . . . but on the other hand is a perfect fit , if you think about it . if you like weird and not really predictable , you will love this . otherwise stay clear\ncurrently in post - production , the sex comedy is being made with one eye on the international market .\nit was matsumoto\u2019s appearance at cannes in 2007 that inspired hiroshi osaki , the ceo of his agency , yoshimoto kogyo , to launch the okinawa international movie festival in 2009 on japan\u2019s southern tropical island .\na very ordinary man ( nao omori ) who takes care of his son while his wife lies in a coma , enters a very ordinary building . following a seductive ride on a merry - go - round , he signs up with an exclusive club . membership is one year only and cannot be cancelled under any circumstances . happily he endures dominatrix intrusions in his daily life , until they get a little too close to his unsuspecting family . with a courage not displayed in his professional life as a bed salesman , he tries to cancel his membership , evoking the wrath of the american ceo , who descends upon tokyo to teach him a lesson\u2026\neric kohn and anne thompson discuss their favorite films of the year so far . they also debate several new releases and share some streaming recommendations .\nin an episode dedicated to the show within the show , \u201cglow\u201d illustrates its grand capacity for storytelling , and the very good tv podcast breaks down how .\nrules weren\u2019t meant to be broken when it comes to tv episode lengths , but these 10 examples \u2014 introduced on the very good tv podcast \u2014 are clear exceptions .\nafter studying under cinematographer ed lachman , shevaun mizrahi forged her own unique filmmaking path with its own set of rules .\nthe actress and director both love the genre , but as they told indiewire , they also knew it needed to be retrofitted to tell the true story of catherine weldon and sitting bull .\nlane and schoenbrun discuss how her interest in morgellons disease patients ( \u201cthe pain of others\u201d ) and his exploration of the slenderman myth ( \u201ca self -

[ 36 ] friedlander created prints of bellocq\u00e2\u0080\u0099s work , which appeared in 1978 in the museum of modern art\u00e2\u0080\u0099s exhibit \u00e2\u0080\u009cstoryville portraits . \u201d [ 37 ]\nanother name popularly applied to jeanne dielman is\nethnographic\nin keeping with the film ' s insistence on real - time presentation and non - elliptical editing . again , however , the name negates a basic aspect of the film by its reference to a cinema of clinical observation , a kind of filmmaking known for its distance and non - involvement with the subject , observational rather than engaged . the film ' s very warm texture and akerman ' s clearly committed sympathies ( the jeanne dielman gestures borrowed largely from her own mother and aunt ) make the name inappropriate .\n: case 39 is a 2009 horror film directed by christian alvart and stars ren\u00e9e zellweger and canadian actress jodelle ferland with bradley cooper . the film was shot in vancouver in late 2006 , and was scheduled to be released in august 2008 , but it was pushed back to april 10 , 2009 , and then january 1 , 2010 . it still has not been released in the u . s . it was released in the uk on 5 march 2010 . the film is scheduled to be shown on tv in parts of the middle east on may 1 , 2010 .\nmolina has been doing wonderful work in the series , and this week he has one of his best moments , when he is overcome by a sense of shared pride at seeing joan crawford surrounded by a crowd of fans after a preview of \u201cbaby jane . \u201d it\u2019s extremely vulnerable work from him . he bursts with happiness for her . ( jessica lange\u2019s stare back at him is an intense kaleidoscope of pride , gratitude and steely self - satisfaction . ) aldrich\u2019s career unhappiness post - \u201dbaby jane\u201d is evident when we see him directing a bullying and uncooperative frank sinatra ( toby huss ) in \u201c4 for texas\u201d and trying to assuage the fears of davis , who is baffled that the offers haven\u2019t been pouring in .\nthis visually evocative tale of a child prostitue , louis malle ' s first american film , is not as strong as his next ( atlantic city ) , but susan sarandon and brooke shields are splendid .\nwhile true enough , this anti - fascism is not as central to the film as its portrait of female eroticism , focusing attention on the erotic attachments of the students and teachers at the school and on the nature of power relations , both pure and corrupt , available to women living under patriarchy . nancy scholar , writing in women & film , reiterated the emphasis on the film ' s anti - fascism but extended that definition to include the\nantiauthoritarian forces\u2026 of love and compassion represented by manuela and fraulein von b and the young girls who joined forces with them .\n[ 5 ] in fact , the dynamics of maedchen are not found only in such external movements or bondings , but rather in the twin internal movements of manuela and fraulein von b toward voicing the love that dared not speak its name at film ' s start . indeed , maedchen in uniform is central to this paper ' s concerns for sagan ' s own positing of the act of naming as a pivotal moment in her film .\nderek schilling is professor of french at johns hopkins university , where he directs the french section of the department of german and romance languages and literatures . his teaching and scholarship bear on modern and contemporary french literature and film , with an emphasis on the interwar period as well as on the second postwar in relation to urbanization and the emergence of the suburb . his monograph eric rohmer appeared in 2007 in the manchester university press\nfrench film directors\nseries . a second title , screening the paris suburbs before the banlieue film , a multi - author volume co - edited with philippe met , is forthcoming with manchester university press . in 2015 - 2016 , professor schilling is acting director of the center for advanced media studies ( cams ) which houses johns hopkins ' newly created graduate certificate in film and media .\nif so , jeanne dielman ' s pathology mitigates against our willingness to generalize . by holding a reformist position ( i . e . she should vary her menu , change her wardrobe ) in relation to a revolutionary character ( i . e . a murderer ) , taubin was forced into a reading of the film limited by notions of realism that she as an avant - garde film critic would have ordinarily worked to avoid . her review split the film along the lines of form / content , annexing the aesthetics as\nthe real importance\nand rejecting the character of jeanne as a pathological woman . again we find a notion of pure art set up in opposition to a feminism seemingly restricted to positive role models . third , annette michelson submitted a written protest to mekas which defended the film ' s importance for\nadrienne rich ' s remarks at the 1976 and 1977 women ' s commission panels of the modern language association inspired this investigation into the nature of language in the field of feminist film criticism . the situation for women working in filmmaking and film criticism today is precarious . while our work is no longer invisible , and not yet unspeakable , it still goes dangerously unnamed . the extent of the problem was manifested in the very decision of a title to this paper , designed to analyze naming in terms of film and the women ' s movement but limited to the two unsatisfactory choices of\nfeminist film\nor\nfilms by women .\nboth are vague and problematic names : the one disregarded or even denied by certain women filmmakers and writers , the other descriptive of nothing but a sex - determined ghetto of classification .\nchantal akerman ' s jeanne dielman ( 1975 ) is a chronicle of three days in the life of a brussels housewife , a widow and mother who is also a prostitute . it is the first film to legitimize housework , showing a woman ' s activities in the home in real time , to communicate with veracity the alienation of woman in the nuclear family as it exists under advanced industrialized capitalism . more than three hours in length and nearly devoid of dialogue , the film charts jeanne dielman ' s breakdown via a minute observation of her performance of household routines , at first methodical and unvarying , later increasingly disarranged , until by film ' s end , the order is permanently disrupted by her murder of her third client . the film was scripted , directed , photographed and edited by women motivated by a consciously feminist sensibility .\n21 . many of the ideas in this article were first tested in a discussion in chicago in february , 1978 which has been published as\nwomen and film : a discussion of feminist aesthetics\nin the new german critique , no . 13 ; i am indebted to the three editors and to my co - discussants michelle citron , julia lesage , judith mayne and anna marie taylor for their feedback and support . thanks also to my friends on the original purdue panel , bill horrigan and bruce jenkins , for their reactions and intellectual generosity . finally , the article has benefited from the tough but sympathetic criticisms of the manuscript by joan braderman , regina cornwell , and linda williams .\nunlike the precocious likes of tatum o\u2019neal , brooke has remained surprisingly unaffected . \u201csomebody with her background should be a monster , a little robot , \u201d says malle . \u201cbut brooke has managed to stay very natural , very close to her childhood . \u201d she is a movie star who thinks being a script girl would be \u201csooo neat\u201d and who admits she is an only recently reformed thumbsucker . brooke still has an imaginary friend ( \u201ci talk to her about my problems\u201d ) . she plays football in central park , watches tv ( \u201ceven though i know charlie\u2019s angels is corny\u201d ) and collects wooden dolls and glass knickknacks . brooke loves movies , though mom recently indexed coma . as for pretty baby , \u201ci wouldn\u2019t go see it alone , \u201d brooke exclaims . \u201cgross ! \u201d\nbut before you dive into the newest gore -

written by and starring adam sandler . unlike most mainstream holiday films , it is centered around jewish characters during hanukkah season , as opposed to religious or secular celebration ofchristmas . despite being animated in the style of television christmas specials , the film is adult oriented , featuring significant sexual and scatological humor , and focusing on such topics as alcoholism , bereavement , and depression .\nlet me in is a 2010 american horror / romance / drama film directed by matt reeves . it is based on the 2008 swedish film let the right one in ( l\u00e5t den r\u00e4tte komma in ) , directed by tomas alfredson , and the novel of the same name by john ajvide lindqvist . it tells the story of a bullied12 -

plagued eccentric of the post - war years , though the film perhaps wisely leaves the author at his new hampshire estate in the early 1960s , declining to fabricate too much of his later , hermetic life . it\u2019s fitting that \u201crebel in the rye\u201d wraps up when its subject quits publishing : strong\u2019s film is primarily a fan letter to the author rather than to the man himself , which is about the most gracious concession it makes to his treasured privacy .\nwe have sent you a verification email . to verify , just follow the link in the message\nat its heart , rebel in the rye is a story about the importance of mentors . strong brings the smoky nightclubs and jazzy diversions of the pre - war \u201840s to vibrant life with amazing sets and sounds . you might see thelonious monk playing the piano , or rub elbows with a snooty heiress like oona o\u2019neill ( zoey deutch ) . these were heady times when a columbia writing student like salinger could afford to ignore the falling bombs in europe to focus on harnessing his powerful literary voice with the help of his professor , whit burnett ( kevin spacey ) .\nrebel in the rye is the audacious story of jd , a young man struggling to find his way in the bustling streets of 1930 ' s new york city . like so many before him he aggressively pursues independence , love , sex and the stimulating experiences of life . he dreams of making it as a short - story writer , but it is only upon meeting whit burnett that he finds the mentor and friend he needs to help him break through his stubbornness and wayward ego , and start rendering his energy and life stories into words on the page .\nthe action continues through salinger ' s deeply traumatic stint in world war ii , during which he began his novel\nthe catcher in the rye .\nhis postwar depression , writer ' s block , self - sabotage and soul searching eventually give way to completing\ncatcher ,\nwhich was published in 1951 to unprecedented acclaim and , much to salinger ' s chagrin , serious influence .\n, who was the real - life fiction editor of the new yorker during the salinger ' s most productive years in the late ' 40s through the ' 50s . the movie is based on\nwhile \u201crebel in the rye\u201d isn\u2019t quite as bad as its pile - of - bricks - clunky title suggests , it\u2019s both simple - and literal - minded , less concerned with salinger\u2019s consciousness or sensibility than with his ostensible ontological status as a tortured creative giant . its depiction of salinger\u2019s probable ptsd , the product of his service in world war ii , is almost insultingly hackneyed . when he discovers meditation through an indian guru , the score , by bear mccreary , comes alive with tablas and sitars . and so on .\ndo movies about writers ever really work ? there are a lot but how many of them actually are worth the trouble ? you can make a case that they arent with rebel in the rye , a film that tries very hard to delve inside the head of j . d . salinger as he\u2019s trying to write the catcher in the rye . it\u2019s a good idea , but the execution is dead on arrival . danny strong , making his feature directing debut , is skilled at putting a film together , but the script he has to work with is bursting with cliches . strong has a great resume writing for tv ( check recount and game change ) but this salinger bio - pioc defines by - the - numbers , adapted from kenneth slawenski\u2019s well - liked j . d . \u2026\n\u201ci was a big \u2018catcher in the rye\u2019 fan in high school , as many a person is , \u201d strong said in a recent interview . \u201cthe salinger voice was very influential on me and stuck with me over the years . i think it informed my voice in a way . it was so cool to me , and i liked it so much , and i think it very much got into my dna . but i didn\u2019t stay an obsessive salinger fan over the years , it was just something that i really loved in high school . \u201d\nhis search for escape from the wartime nightmares leads salinger to his second mentor , the hindu teacher swami nikhilananda ( bernard white ) . there , salinger is schooled in the art of meditation and yoga . it\u2019s instructive to see how salinger cleared the cobwebs and completed his infamous cultural manifesto , the catcher in the rye , but it\u2019s not particularly entertaining . strong loses his way in this part of the story , likely because salinger\u2019s post - war struggles lack the same fire and intensity as his pre - war idealism .\nfilms , has a strong interest in salinger ' s story . he optioned the book\nprincipal photography on the film began on april 26 , 2016 in new york city .\nall - access pass to top stories , events and offers in the twin cities .\nthe friend in this scene is story magazine editor whit burnett , salinger\u2019s former writing teacher as well as the first person to publish the author\u2019s work . hoult\u2019s lingering glance at burnett poignantly affirms that this man was as close to a father figure as any salinger ever encountered , certainly much more so than his maddeningly aloof old man . if \u201crebel in the rye\u201d has any advantage over roach\u2019s equally flawed oscar bait , \u201c trumbo , \u201d it\u2019s the pitch - perfect casting of its ensemble headlined by kevin spacey as burnett . for the second time this year , the actor has injected a weirdly paternal warmth into an initially formidable authority figure .\nsalinger notoriously removed himself from public life two years after the publication \u2014 and runaway success \u2014 of \u201ccatcher in the rye , \u201d abandoning new york city in favor of a tiny town in new hampshire . while salinger was initially accessible to fans and other aspiring writers , the publication of an unexpected interview ( care of a high schooler he was mentoring ) pushed him to adopt the reclusive lifestyle he maintained until his death . for strong , dramatizing why salinger balked at his long - sought fame in such a profound manner was the key to the story .\nurbaniak is the voice of dr . venture on cartoon network\u2019s \u201cventure bros . \u201d his most recent work includes starring in the hulu series \u201cdifficult people\u201d and in the sundance audience award winner \u201cadvantageous . \u201d\nhere\u2019s the brief synopsis from the film\u2019s sundance premiere : \u201cthis biopic of legendary author j . d . salinger ( nicholas hoult ) details his relationship with socialite oona o\u2019neill ( zoey deutch ) , his experiences fighting in world war ii , and his writing process for \u2018the catcher in the rye . \u2019\u201d the trailer is heavy on salinger\u2019s inner turmoil , which gives life to his most famous creation : holden caulfield .\nthis week , spacey and hoult were spotted in period costumes on the set in brooklyn . tonight , the movie is filming at w 155th st and amsterdam ave , nyc .\ndanny strong\u2019s directorial debut stars nicholas hoult as j . d . salinger , in a film that misses the mark in trying to capture his unique talent .\nmorbidly fascinating just for the experience of seeing what an astonishingly sub - literate scribbler ( ' rebel in the rye ' - really ? ) like danny strong thinks makes good writers good ( lots of sad brow - furrowing apparently ) . abominably directed , with a scene of holocaust kitsch that ' s so piously hackneyed it ' s morally criminal , and so drained of color and distinction that it looks like a morgan - stanley commercial advising you to call your financial advisor today .\nother than spacey\u2019s , none of the performances are more than fine . strong\u2019s evocation of the era with small nightclubs and apartments are what one does on a lower budget , but the world doesn\u2019t feel particularly lived in . there\u2019s a scene in which salinger explains why he\u2019ll never allow a film version of the catcher in the rye . even though this movie holds your attention and isn\u2019t bad , one can\u2019t help but agree it wouldn\u2019t have been a crime if this one never got made either .\ncontact us for screening information or log in to the ifc extranet for artwork , etc .\nit\u2019s a myth of popular culture that j . d . salinger hated the movies \u2014 that\u2019d be conflating his personality with that of his most famous creation , holden caulfield \u2014 but it\u2019s fair to say the reclusive author regarded the film industry with wary suspicion . now , after salinger spent six decades withholding the much - desired film rights to his 1951 masterwork \u201cthe catcher in the rye , \u201d cinema has retaliated with karmic payback in the form of \u201c rebel in the rye . \u201d a glossily conventional biopic of salinger\u2019s pre - retirement years that would be unlikely to induce a change of heart in its elusive subject , danny strong \u2019s film is diverting , mildly informative and \u2014 to borrow caulfield\u2019s adjective of choice \u2014 somewhat phony , heavy as it is on tortured - writer clich\u00e9s and contrived art - imitates - life parallels . a dashing nicholas hoult takes a respectful stab at embodying salinger\u2019s mystique , but it\u2019s hard not to feel that the best way to honor salinger with a biopic would be to not make one at all .\nwhere did holden caulfield come from ? according to strong , he was the personification of salinger\u2019s fight against literary heterodoxy , with the book\u2019s grim outlook forged in the fires of world war ii . the film lacks the budget to stage much of salinger\u2019s service in europe , instead subjecting us to rote flashbacks of battlefield chaos and a scene where he rails at burnett about the friends he lost overseas . the genesis of the catcher in the rye appears to be little more than burnett encouraging salinger to turn his caulfield short story into a novel ; once that decision is made , the rest is a dramatically inert inevitability .\ndeadline first reported paulson\u2019s involvement in the project tuesday , noting the actress will play dorothy olding , described as \u201cthe fiercely loyal agent who believed in the young salinger from his earliest short stories and supported him throughout [ salinger\u2019s ] career . \u201d\nyou may wish for the same avoidance from any more movies about writers after \u201crebel in the rye . \u201d it\u2019s tempting to wonder how strong \u2014 who , as a screenwriter , so expertly distilled a pair of wild and woolly presidential campaigns into the emmy - winning docudramas \u201crecount\u201d and \u201cgame change\u201d \u2014 honestly thought he could get away with his graceless , tell - not - show dramatic tactics . three separate coffeehouse scenes with hoult and spacey take place across many years , but are filmed so perfunctorily as to only suggest a day\u2019s shooting .\njean - michel blais manages to transform simple motifs into weightless complex structures into ( as paul simon noted in a different context )\nangels in the architecture\n.\nsave my name , email , and website in this browser for the next time i comment .\nthe premise of fran\u00e7ois ozon \u2019s \u201cin the house\u201d is so suggestive that i kept waiting for the film to become wonderful . that never happens , but at least the premise engages the mind , if not always the eye .\nultimately , his test scenes were used as temp tracks , and the spec piece is featured in the film\u2019s closing credits .\nit might be pushing one\u2019s luck to use that word \u201cphony\u201d again to describe such moments , but strong\u2019s script repeats it at multiple points too , as the film works overtime to forge a connection between the author , of whose personal voice and mannerisms audiences know little , and the iconic caulfield . here\u2019s salinger striking and burning matches for no particular reason ; there he is staring pensively at the central park carousel . from its corny title on down , \u201crebel in the rye\u201d \u2014 drawn principally from kenneth slawenski\u2019s thorough biopic \u201cj . d . salinger : a life\u201d \u2014 courts viewers for whom reading \u201ccatcher\u201d in adolescence was a formative experience , and who might cherish a romanticized impression of the novel\u2019s prickly creator .\nsalinger ' s war follows the catcher in the rye writer from his early days trying to establish his career in new york ' s literary circle in the early 1940 ' s . after numerous rejections , he finally finds his voice writing about a character named holden caulfield . right as his career is about to begin , wwii breaks out and salinger goes off to fight . his experiences at war forever change him , and help him to finally find his voice as a writer ."]}

[ 2 ] [ 3 ]\nalthough he was primarily based in the bengali film industry , he also made films in different languages like hindi and oriya .\nand in fact , slowly , one by one , they refuse to play aniruddha\u2019s hunting game : at first they\u2019re struck by the scene , but recovering their senses , they realize that sagina has also been trapped , as they have been trapped . he hasn\u2019t betrayed them , nor is he all - powerful , he\u2019s just one of them . darker forces had tried to hypnotize all of them into believing sagina was a double - dealer . now even amal loyally recognizes that sagina cannot be the monster aniruddha portrays and , cornered , tries to judge all on his own , declaring him guilty and that he should be killed straight away . he has a gun , and is going to execute his crazy justice , but amal intervenes , and takes the shot . aniruddha tries to escape , is caught by a vengeful sagina , who throws away the gun : his hands are enough . but then another executioner enters the scene and ends the madman\u2019s life .\nthings start deteriorating nevertheless when revolutionaries from the city ( nearby calcutta ) start becoming interested in the particular worker resistance that has coalesced around sagina . such a feat cannot remain unexploited : the communist party who probably is also trying to federate some reaction against the colonial power , comes to the company in the form of amal , who ventures to put some socialist ideas about rules and legality in sagina\u2019s mind . act legal , become a recognised party : that is amal\u2019s creed . but sagina , even if he tries to do his best , remains a political yokel , and when a crisis comes , will follow nothing but his instinct . the workers he leads remain unruled and wild , as the bengal tiger who leads them .\ncast and crew meetup finalising the cast and discussing more about the film and the other details . steps about the work and progress\ncompeting against it for best film would be the curious case of benjamin button , frost / nixon , milk and the reader .\nnew delhi : veteran bengali film director tapan sinha was on monday selected for the prestigious dadasaheb phalke award for the year 2006 .\ntapan sinha has also made use of rabindrasangeet in other films . the memorable rabindrasangeet keno choker jole bijeye dile na , sukhno dulo joto was used in his film ekhoni . the film featured swaroop dutta , aparna sen , moushumi chaterji , nirmal kumar , chinmoy roy , padda devi , subhendu chaterji , n . vishwanathan and others . the film was based on a novel by ramapada choudhury .\nthe music was composed by kalyanji - anandji and all songs of the film were memorable numbers . the lyrics were by anand bakshi .\nmy fear is that patalghar the bengali film directed by abhijit chaudhuri a . k . a . dadu is slipping thorough the cracks of time . that is an unfortunate prospect for a film which is worth discovering and re - discovering by cineastes all over the world .\nreflecting on bergman\u2019s cinema , the french film - maker jean - luc goddard commented once , \u201cnothing can be more classically romantic . \u201d\ntapan sinha ' s first film ankush was based on the narayan ganguly story sainik , which had an elephant in the central character .\nkabulliwallah ( 1956 ) was subsequently remade in hindi by bimal roy and directed by heman gupta , featuring balraj sahani . oerdellin was cast as the child lead . the film won the music award and the silver bear at the 7th berlin international film festival . [ 4 ]\nwith its domestic success , the director got permission to expand the film to a feature - length of about 95 minutes and changed its title to the glamorous life of sachiko hanai . the film was sent to festivals in 2005 and gained some sort of appreciation and cult status .\nis a hindi film with sunil dutt and waheeda rehman . it fared badly , possibly because the narration was too subtle for hindi audiences .\nour friends should have watched the ka abbas film naxalite . all prominent bengali writers and filmmakers have been dealing with the subject since seventies !\nan avid follower of american directors like william wyler and john ford , he entered the film world as a technician . he completed his journey there with 41 films , 19 of which won national awards and laurels from international film festivals of london , venice , moscow and berlin .\n\u2018kabuliwallah\u2019 , based on a short story by rabindranath tagore , won the president ' s gold medal for the best film of the country .\nkabuliwallah , based on a short story by rabindranath tagore , won the president ' s gold medal for the best film of the country .\nin a country where every second film director has delusions of being a genius doing something unique , \u2018different\u2019 being that half - assed buzz word , at least pryas gupta in his debut film has actually tried something interesting , even if there are , unfortunately , problems along the way .\nhatey bazaare ( 1967 ) , one of sinha\u2019s most accomplished works , deals with human goodness and the spirit of protest that leads to collective happiness . the film , based on a novel written by banaphool in the form of a diary , once again shows his mastery over adapting difficult literary works into cohesive cinema . ashok kumar and vyjayanthimala played the lead roles and the film won the national award for the best feature film .\nnoted film - maker tapan sinha was a master storyteller whose filmography presented an amazing variety of subjects promising different experiences for the audience each time .\ntapan sinha ' s hansuli banker upakatha was based on a story by tara shankar banerji . lily chakravorty had a good role in this film .\non his return to india , he shifted his focus to film - making and went on to make films in bengali , hindi and oriya .\nthis post is dedicated to indian film indutry , this good work is not mine this good work is performed by my beloved sulekha . com .\nsinha ' s films have also won laurels in international film festivals of berlin , venice , london , moscow , san francisco , locarno , cork festival in ireland kampuchea and seoul . he has also served as a member of the jury in film festivals at tashkent and san francisco among others .\ntapan sinha ' s kabuliwallah was based on a story by rabindranath tagore . chabi biswas , radhamohan bhattacharji , kali banerji and manju de were the performers . tinku thakur played the role of the small girl in the film . jiban bose had a good role too in the film as a jailor , who has good faith in the kabulliwallah . rabindrasangeet khoro bayu boy bege chari dik chaye meghe was used in the film . the film portrayed tapan sinha ' s personality - a child at heart . the same trait is reflected in films like galpo hollo satti , harmonium and safed hathi .\ni have always viewed the film as a kind of pilgrim\u2019s progress for kartik whose journey through the narrative makes him aware of some of life\u2019s lessons .\nkabuliwala ( 1956 ) , based on a story by rabindranath tagore , won the music award at the berlin film festival , demonstrating his sharp sensitivity .\nwhile not obsessed with the bourgeois need to experience technically pristine visuals , i think the hd ( on which the film was shot ) transfer to film is problematic . there seems to be a fair amount of jitter and some colour flashes . i hope true seekers will not be too upset by this .\nborn in 1924 . science graduate from university of calcutta . sinha began his film career as a sound engineer in calcutta ' s new theatre in 1946 . four years later , he received an invitation to the london film festival and the opportunity of working at pinewood studios . he was in uk for two years . on returning to india , he turned his attentions to film directing . tapan sinha was influenced by american and british film making . tagore was a great source of inspiration to him . he made three films on tagore ' s stories : kabuliwala , hungry stones ( khudito pashan ) , atithi .\ntapan sinha ' s zindagi zindagi was a hindi film with sunil dutt and waheeda rehman . it fared badly because sinha was too subtle for hindi audience in his narration . he is one director who rarely compromises . so , one is sure that the film went over the head of the mass audience .\nbut i came to feel the movement only after i saw sagina mahato . it happened with kabuliwala also . i read it in my childhood but felt it only after seeing tapan sinha film ! i always rated ritwik ghatak as the greatest film director in india . i tried to see all new waves films including those made by shyam benegal , sathyu , gobind nilhani and mrinal sen ! i was never influenced by satyajit roy , the bengali elite icon ! but tapan sinha always appealed me and i was always able to communicate with the medium with full passion as far as tapan sinha was concerned !\nchokh ( english : the eyes ) is a 1982 indian bengali film directed by utpalendu chakrabarty , with om puri , anil chatterjee , shyamanand jalan and sreela majumdar in lead roles . the film is set in 1975 and the oppression and exploitation of jute mill workers in kolkata . [ 1 ] [ 2 ]\nfor over half of his career , film societies in kolkata viewed him with scepticism though during his later years a shift from their earlier stance was visible .\nkolkata : noted film - maker tapan sinha was a master storyteller whose filmography presented an amazing variety of subjects promising different experiences for the audience each time .\nthe main problem however with the film is that the plot mechanics come in the way of making it a truly interesting cinematic experience . the narrative \u2013 which deals with the quest of the protagonist to be truly free by getting rid of all his needs , both financial and creative \u2013 seems to have some noir - inspired elements and keeps disturbing the tone which is so essential to the film . especially towards the last third , it really destroys the purer aspects of the film .\nsinha ' s final venture , the children ' s filme anokha moti , was incomplete . the film features arjun chakravorty , and is being made in hindi .\nthe film , however , was not technically sound and sinha was to later write that satyajit ray and raj kapoor had told him about its poor technical quality .\nafter missing out on prestige ( maybe the film i \u2018should\u2019 see ) i girded my loins and bought a ticket for the dark knight , the latest nolan opus .\nkhoniker atithe features nirmal kumar , ruma guha thakurta , anil chaterji , tulsi lahiri , radhamohan bhattacharjee and others . the film is based on a story of tagore .\nsinha ' s kalamati was the first film to deal with life in creches in coalmine areas . made in 1957 , it was much ahead of its time . anil chaterji has a role in the film . raja stars debraj ray , shamit bhanja , arati bhattacharjee , mahua roy choudhury , anil chaterji , santu mukherji and others .\nsaira banu ( born 23 august 1944 ) , also known as saira bano , is an indian bollywood actress and the wife of the film actor dilip . . .\nmr . sinha , 84 , who has won 19 national film awards in various categories apart from winning laurels in various international film festivals , will be given the swarna kamal , a cash prize of rs . 10 lakh and a shawl by president pratibha patil at a function , the date of which is yet to be announced .\nbancharamer bagan includes a performance by manoj mitra as an old gardener . chaplinesque in its approach , the film depicts the tragedy of a small man in this big world . in khudito pasan , dilip roy gives a performance as a moghul king . this film , based on a story by gurudev rabindranath tagore , also stars soumitra chaterji .\nthis 1962 national award winning classic is based on the life sarat chandra pandit , also lovingly called as dadathakur . this film was made in the lifetime of the master , particularly focusing on his constructive attitude that led to the change of the society . the lead was played by the legendary chhabi biswas and it was also his last film .\ntapan sinha\u2019s works have won 19 national film awards in various categories . his films have also won laurels in international film festivals of berlin , venice , london , moscow , san francisco , locarno , cork festival in ireland kampuchea and seoul . he has also served as a member of the jury in film festivals at tashkent and san francisco among others . in 1995 , he published his memoirs mone pore \u2013 a slim volume recounting assorted anecdotes , personalities and incidents in his long and distinguished innings as a filmmaker .\nhttp : / / 72 . 14 . 235 . 132 / search ? q = cache : nobjge9hstoj : movies . indiainfo . com / 2008 / 02 / 22 / 0802220435 _ tapan . html + sagina + mahato & hl ; = en & ct ; = clnk & cd ; = 50 & gl ; = in\nhttp : / / 72 . 14 . 235 . 132 / search ? q = cache : jepi79s -

east india , in the forties , and centres around the charismatic figure of a local worker , sagina mahato ( dilip kumar ) , who is the acknowledged leader of the exploited bunch of mountain villagers toiling away for the benefit of the british . as expected , the capitalistic manager is a ruthless heartless racist , whereas sagina , who has the guts to confront the boss , manages to make him understand that the coolies are human and cannot be simply beaten and used like cattle .\napart from winning laurels at home , the veteran filmmaker also won several awards in international film festivals like those in berlin , venice , london , moscow , san francisco and locarno .\nhis career faltered during the 1970s as newer actors like rajesh khanna and amitabh bachchan were beginning to gain in popularity . he appeared only in a few films like \u2018gopi\u2019 ( 1970 ) , \u2018sagina\u2019 ( 1974 ) , and \u2018bairaag\u2019 ( 1976 ) which failed to do well at the box office . he took a hiatus of five years following this .\nan avid follower of american directors like william wyler and john ford , he entered the film world as a technician . he completed his journey there with 41 films , 19 of which won national awards and laurels from international film festivals of london , venice , moscow and berlin . his cinematic works were mostly down to earth depictions of the struggles of the common man .\nthe film is a hard hitting story of this teacher struggling to balance his conscience and truth . at last , against all odds he raises his courage to get these goons to justice .\nunlike many directors who use grunge vacuously to be hip , the cinematography by mrinal desai helps make the squalor an integral part of the film and the life the characters are subjected to .\nis based on a novelette by eminent bengali writer shirsendu mukhopadhay . this film , in sinha ' s own words\nis a semi - fantasy designed for all , including children .\nthe president of india , smt . pratibha devisingh patil , has condoled the passing away of the famous veteran film director and recipient of the dada saheb phalke award , shri tapan sinha .\ntapan sinha has been active in the new century also . in 2001 , he completed an ambitious project shatabdir kanya ( daughters of this century ) \u2013 a six - part film based on stories by tagore , sarat chandra chattopadhyaya , gourkishor ghosh , prafulla roy and dibyendu palit . the film is a strong statement depicting the neglect and abuse indian women have face through out the 20th century .\nyears ago , probably in the late 80s of the previous century , i was fortunate enough to see edgar reitz\u2019s eleven part tv film heimat at the max mueller bhavan in kala ghoda , mumbai .\nhe starred as sooraj in \u2018jugnu\u2019 in 1947 which also had noor jehan and shashikala in important roles . the film was a big hit and is noted for being the legendary actor\u2019s first major hit .\ntapan sinha ' s jatugriho ( uttam and arundhuti devi ) was a fascinating film on an incident drawn from everyday life . what happens when two known individuals ( uttam & arundhuti ) meet , quite unexpectedly , after a long gap in a train . it was one of the finest film of tapan sinha . the subject of marital discord has rarely been dealt with more finesse in indian films .\nthe scripts of some other films that ray had started working on some were completed have survived . atithi ( made by tapan sinha ) is another such film which ray had penned .\neven the logo of atithi was designed . but the film never got made . some are complete scripts while many are outlines and sketches to be developed later ,\nchakraborty said . similarly , the uttam kumar - supriya chowdhury starrer bilambito lay ( a narendranath mitra story ) would have been part of the ray oeuvre . shibram chakraborty ' s semi - autobiographical bari theke paliye is also in this list . ritwik ghatak later made the film . manik bandyopadhyay ' s padma nadir majhi and kamal kumar mazumdar ' s antarjali yatra are part of the same list . film - maker goutam ghose later made both the films .\nretelling a true story in a film is not an easy task . facts and features have to get dramatized for presentation . however that does not diminish the blaze of the true events in any way .\ndespite minor discrepancies , this is a monumental work , where protagonists seek their homeland in the art they love . heimat 2 ends with hermann still in a quandary , searching , and finally going back to schabbach , reminding us of the first film when paul simon leaves , passing to my joy on his way into the village glasisch karl [ kurt wagner ] , my favorite character from the earlier film .\nfor reasons strange , i seem to have seen most of his films , from memento to the current film the dark knight , none of which seemed to hold any resonance for me . when i mention this to friends who love him , i am told the great work is his first film which i have not seen \u2013 the following . somehow , as unfair as it seems , i am sceptical .\nhe was again cast opposite vyjayanthimala in the drama film \u2018naya daur\u2019 in 1957 . the story was set against the backdrop of industrialization in post - independence india . the movie became a huge commercial hit .\nthis portion of the film is touching in its portrayal of an innocent child ' s unabashed fascination for adults who treat them as individuals ; and the need for affection that is common to all humanity .\n* the film ' s numero uno number is indubitably the pathos - laden aye mere pyaare wattan , aye mere bichhde chaman . kudos to manna dey for singing the song with a wealth of feeling .\napanjan is a story of unemployed youths , starring swarup dutta and shamit bhanja , chhya devi , robi ghosh , nirmal kumar , sumita sanyal . this early film focuses on a movement similar to naxalism in later days . apon jan was remade in hindi by gulzar as mere apne . the film also features chaya devi , rabi ghosh , bhanu banerji , kalyan chaterji , partha mukherjee , nirmal kumar and others .\nit was long overdue , but director tapan sinha \u2014 the man behind iconic movies like kabuliwala , jhinder bandi , haatey bajarey , khudhito pashan , atithi , louhakapat , jhinder bandi , sagina mahato , apanjan and hansuli banker upakatha \u2014 finally won the most prestigious film award in the country . sinha\u2019s films are poignant depictions of the trials and tribulations of middle - class existence and his reputation as an uncompromising filmmaker puts him in a class of his own . along with contemporaries satyajit ray and mrinal sen , he belongs to the hallowed club of parallel filmmakers who created a new idiom for indian cinema .\nthis however does not mean that this is a dour film . on the contrary , it\u2019s a delight and living proof that one can make a rollicking film within the format of the indian mainstream cinema . full of oddball characters with comic book sensibilities , delightfully outrageous sequences and marvellous over - the - top performances within parameters that make it work wonderfully and not fall over the precipice . special mention must be made of\nsinha began his film career as a sound engineer in kolkata\u2019s new theatre in 1946 . in 1950 , he got the opportunity to work at the pinewood studios of the uk , where he spent two years .\nmr . sinha , who started his career as a sound engineer in kolkata\u2019s new theatre in 1946 , has directed well - known films such as \u2018kabuliwala , \u2019 \u2018khudito pashaan , \u2019 \u2018atithi , \u2019 \u2018upahar , \u2019 \u2018haatey bazarey , \u2019 \u2018sagina mahato , \u2019 \u2018hansuli baker upakatha , \u2019 \u2018adalat o ekti meye , \u2019 \u2018ek doctor ki maut , \u2019 \u2018bancharamer bagan\u2019 and \u2018shatabdir kanya , \u2019 among others .\ncharles dickens ' s novel , a tale of two cities and the cinematic adaptation featuring ronald colman inspired sinha to get involved in film - making . tapan sinha went to london in the 1950s to learn film - making . on reaching london , he contacted cryhearsth , manager of pinewood studios . through his help , he managed to obtain his first assignment . he got to work in director charles cryton ' s unit as a sound engineer . cryton , who made some british comedies like lavender hill mob etc . was then working for a film called the hunted . sinha started as a sound recording engineer and gradually shifted to directing .\n, nolan\u2019s remake of the very interesting scandinavian film with the same title directed by erik skjoldbjaerg , was just awful . while it tells the same story as the original , nolan\u2019s approach to the film leaves nothing to the imagination . the scene at the end , in which the young female cop gives al pacino her reason for not turning him in , is a hoot . it is also a scene that defines nolan\u2019s sensibility .\ndespite dealing with social problems in films like ' adalat o ekti meye ' and ' antardhan ' , politics never came in the forefront in his films such as apanjan ( 1968 ) , \u2018sagina mahato\u2019 ( 1970 and raja ( 1975 ) , with the sole exception of \u2018atanka\u2019 ( terror , 1986 ) , since he believed that political issues were short - lived and so were the films based on them .\nthe five sinha films which are etched in my mind more than the others are \u2013 kabuliwala , jhinder bandi , jotugriho , sagina mahato and ek doctor ki maut . the bengali version of kabuliwala ( 1957 ) played by none other than the inimitable chhabi biswas had been a delight to watch . sinha was faithful to the original tagore masterpiece though he inserted a number of subplots that carried along the main narrative .\ntapan sinha ' s kabulliwallah was subsequently made in hindi by bimal roy and directed by heman gupta , featuring balraj sahani . oerdellin was cast as the child lead in kabulliwallah . kabulliwallah ( 1956 ) won the music award at the berlin film festival , demonstrating his sharp sensitivity . kabuliwallah ( balraj sahani ) who is dreaded by children turns out to be a lover of children . kabuliwallah won the silver bear at the berlin film festival .\ntapan sinha ' s boydurjer rahasya was a detective film . manoj mitra , bhishnu guha thakurtha , tapas pal , alpana goswami , moonmon sen and premansu bose with basant choudhury formed the cast . it was a clanger .\nsinha ' s louho kopat is based on the story of the bengali writer jorasandho . the film stars kamal mitra , nirmal kumar as the jailer and anil chaterji in a character role . sabuj dweeper raja is a children ' s film , shot in the andaman and nicobar islands . it is based on a story by sunil ganguly . sinha ' s hansuli banker upakatha is based on a story by tara shankar banerji and stars lily chakraborty .\nhe found his big breakthrough with mehboob khan\u2019s \u2018andaz\u2019 in 1949 . it was a love triangle which also starred raj kapoor and nargis . the movie went on to become the top grossing film ever made in india till then .\nas the film progresses it just meanders , using unnecessary devices that do not add anything to enrich the narrative . the whole mms scandal , though borrowed from real life incidents , does nothing for the chanda character \u2013 it just looks like a gimmick to justify her actions . very often the film tends to go out of the way to explain and rationalize things , probably to cater to unthinking audiences and sham critics , something that no smoking \u2013 anurag\u2019s best film to date \u2013 generally avoids . unlike no smoking , the reason dev . d has been received well by its audience is because they have the plot to hang on to and the back - stories to give them comfort .\nthe late heath ledger works well within the film\u2019s structure , and is often the reason that one stays interested in the film . i suppose there will be endless debates as to whether he or jack nicholson plays the definitive joker . taken out of their individual filmic contexts , it is a difficult question to answer . however , i feel ledger\u2019s performance adds to the dark knight whereas nicholson\u2019s somehow takes away , derailing tim burton\u2019s batman in more ways than one .\ndadasaheb phalke award winner and noted film - maker tapan sinha died at a hospital here today after prolonged illness . eighty - four - year - old sinha was suffering from pneumonia and septicaemia , hospital sources said . he is survived by a son . his actress - wife arundhuti devi died in 1990 . the veteran film - maker had been in and out of hospital over the past few years . he was admitted to the hospital in december last year .\ntapan sinha ' s apanjan was a beautiful story of young unemployed youths which first saw swaroop dutta and samit bhanja giving memorable performances . it was an early film of sinha , and here he has focused on a movement similar to naxalism in later days . sinha ' s apanjan was remade in hindi by gulzar as mere apne . the film also featured chaya devi , rabi ghosh , bhanu banerji , kalyan chaterji , partha mukherjee , nirmal kumar and others .\nhere is the most exciting news from our team . we are going to start our second project soon . its going to be humongous . this will be an international project . we are going to shoot the entire film in english .\ndespite its formal limitations , sachiko hanai may work as a satire in this insane world where politics is practiced and reported by comic book characters . and a film with the exchange quoted below may not , perhaps , be all that dumb .\nsafed haathi ( 1977 ) marks sinha\u2019s debut in making films for children . he is perhaps the only major filmmaker in india who has consistently produced entertaining yet intelligent films for a young audience . sabuj dwiper raja ( 1979 ) \u2013 an adventure film shot in the andaman islands ranks among the most popular bengali films for children . aaj ka robinhood ( 1987 ) , which has been screened at several international film festivals and anokha moti ( 2000 ) also demonstrate sinha\u2019s mastery over the genre .\nas i mentioned earlier , the film is watchable , with the zap of the contemporary hollywood flick , despite some dubious cross - cutting in the first part of the climax and a rather tiresome extended second climax with the two - face character .\nwhat i really loved about dev d . , though isolated from the body of the film , were the twilight players \u2013 messrs . sinbad phugra , ammo \u2018too sweet\u2019 and jimi \u2018the quiff\u2019 . i\u2019d pay to see them again . they were amazing .\nsinha ' s next two films \u2018upahaar\u2019 ( 1955 ) and \u2018tonsil\u2019 ( 1956 ) were somewhat successful , but it was \u2018kabuliwallah\u2019 ( 1957 ) , his fourth film , that gave him solid footing and from there he did not have to look back .\nduring the 1980s and 1990s he started playing roles that were more suited to his age . he appeared in numerous films as the father or grandfather of the young protagonists . his last film appearance was in \u2018qila\u2019 in 1998 in which he played dual roles .\neven a committed writer like mahashweta devi treated the subject as romance in her hazar cghuraseer maa . she used the romantic language as well as the style . as if it was a romantic ideological adventure as godard put it in her epic film la chinowas !\nthat\nbengalis are the best dressers in the world and bengalis can do anything ; i punctured him in an hilarious way ,\nghosh recounts with an impish gleam . the brajada tales have sold well and one has been made into a popular film .\nsinha , who began his career as a sound engineer in 1946 , made several films based on tagore ' s stories , including the award - winning 1956 film\nkabuliwala\n, a poignant story of friendship between a girl and an afghan dry fruit seller .\ntapan sinha ( bengali : ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ) , ( 2 october 1924 - 15 january 2009 ) was a well respected bengali indian film director . he was arguably the most uncompromising filmmaker outside the orbit of parallel cinema .\nhe used the trip to learn in totality the art of film - making . after returning , he made ankush ( 1954 ) with an elephant belonging to a zamindar as the central character , a whole new idea at the time , but it bombed at the box office . sinha ' s next two films upahaar ( 1955 ) and tonsil ( 1956 ) were somewhat successful , but it was kabuliwallah ( 1957 ) , his fourth film , that gave him solid footing and from there he did not have to look back .\nhe had strong belief in the success of individual courage and for this he faced the wrath of leftist critics . for over half of his career , film societies in kolkata viewed him with scepticism though during his later years a shift from their earlier stance was visible .\nantony firingee is a musical drama film based on the life of portuguese hensman anthony . antony travelled to india and fell in love with the folk songs and music of bengal . he started to love bengal as his own motherland . he also married saudamini , a hindu widow .\nmeike\u2019s film is a bit of an odd - ball , released originally in 2003 under the title horny home tutor : teacher\u2019s love juice . the film is about a gormless role - playing call - girl who , during a shootout , gets a bullet in her head that lodges itself in a part of her brain . overnight she becomes extremely intelligent , discussing philosophy and mathematics with academicians . thrown into the mix are korean agents , middle east arms dealers , war footage , george bush and a cloned finger of bush that can trigger off a nuclear holocaust ."]}

rabbi and various associates mount a months - long quest for a fabled african jerusalem , supposedly the homeland of all blacks and jews . the story sprawls , but the perky tone , sharp dialogue , and easy comedy keep the film moving , and the eponymous cat provides a strong central point of view . like the story itself , he\u2019s protean\u2014devoted to the rabbi\u2019s voluptuous daughter ,

little to do in the movie . but the cat ' s myriad observations about religion and life are both educational and entertaining ( and occasionally hilarious ) . and audiences will learn as they ' re

plotline , unique artistic style , and distinct characters , the rabbi\u2019s cat is not the average comic book . the story follows the lives of a rabbi , a rabbi\u2019s cat , and a rabbi\u2019s daughter . but in actuality , the novel chronicles a much larger narrative , transcending above the individual realm into the philosophical , historical , and universal . rooted in a specific time and place\u2014algeria and paris in the 1930\u2019s\u2014the rabbi\u2019s cat encapsulates an entire jewish world of the past and simultaneously questions and explores the very essence ( or lack thereof ) of jewishness in the present . a close investigation into the narration , artwork , characters , and plot will shed light on the novel\u2019s impactful claims about the fluidity of jewish history and identity . through an emphasis on geography , a continual variation of artistic style , and the diversity of jewish characters , sfar paints a picture of jewishness characterized by historical environment , internal difference and exclusion , and impending cultural loss .\nsfar speaks about film - making very much as a learning process for him . he ' s very modest about the film , and

morel ) begins to question whether he , like his master and mistress , is jewish . after discovering a young russian jew hidden in a shipping crate , the rabbi and his cat follow the strapping zionist across africa - - with the help of a distant cousin who ' s a muslim scholar - - to find the african jews of ethiopia .\nreally 3 . 5 stars the talking cat with the big ears who offers insightful commentary on his rabbi master and life in algeria in the early 20th century is back . the rabbi ' s daughter is fighting with her husband ( also a rabbi ) , and the cat is quite happy with that . it

desert . then , a stowaway russian jew show\nthe rabbi adheres to jewish law but considers many other perspectives as well . he respects his distant cousin who ' s a muslim , and he ' s willing to teach his talking cat about judaism , even though his mentor and rabbi tells him it ' s a bad idea . zlabya is a strong female character , as is the russian ' s african wife , both of whom state their mind with conviction . the sfar cousin , like the rabbi , is open minded and abhors violence for violence ' s sake .\nstraight out of the american film market ( afm ) , we\u2019ve got your first look at french director / author / comic book artist joann sfar\u2019s feature film adaptation of his beloved graphic novel the rabbi\u2019s cat . the french animated film , from one of the most celebrated artists of the new wave of franco - belgian comics , is a tale about a rabbi who has his hands full , and sets off on an adventure to a mythical city alongside some affable companions which include his talking cat . sfar co - directed and wrote the hand - drawn 2d animated film , his second feature after this year\u2019s gainsbourg . don\u2019t let the logline fool you , as his books are famous

expect from an artsy and religiously - themed french animated feature , the rabbi ' s cat sports just enough quirkiness to remain afloat . based on a comic book series about a rabbi , his daughter , and their cat who have various adventures and philosophical discussions - see , the cat sporadically gains the ability to talk - this film version spends the first three - quarters with a lazy setup , establishing relationships and introducing various eccentric individuals , before it gets anywhere near actual adventures . the characters are charming , including the querulous cat whose opinions tend to lean agnostic and often serve as the progenitor of numerous theological musings throughout the film . animation is an independent , thin - lined and low - framerate pastiche reminiscent of\u2026\nthe cow that wanted to be a hamburger 2010 . animated short film shortlisted to 10\nsynopsis : based on a comic book series by co - director joann sfar , this is an imaginative tale about a

of jewish identity . through symbolism , sfar demonstrates how the loss of algerian jewish culture materializes through colonial hegemony and an insistence on the uniformity of identity . starting on page 29 , the rabbi\u2019s cat describes a dream . in his dream , the rabbi tells him that zlabya is dead . water rises in the image , ultimately enveloping the cat , the rabbi , and the entire world they live in . of course , this dream foreshadows both the rabbi and the cat\u2019s emotions when zlabya marries jules , a french jew , and moves away from home . to better comprehend the dream , we must understand zlabya as a symbol for the cultural world of algerian jews in the 1930\u2019s . in this dream , that culture is dead . zlabya is not at her piano , in her kitchen , or reading her books , which are all locations of cultural creation ( 33 ) . now , the rabbi\u2019s faith is meaningless , as he says , \u201cdon\u2019t give me that garbage , i know it only too well\u201d ( 30 ) . in the bottom left panel on page 31 , the rabbi lumbers through a diminished , small , empty , and colorless city\u2014the algeria that once shaped his entire identity . the final two images of the dream are narrated : \u201cshe is in her tomb . and we\u2019re not allowed go inside\u201d ( 33 ) . this scene of exclusion echoes other moments in the book when certain forms of judaism are rejected , like when the rabbi\u2019s rabbi will not convert the rabbi\u2019s cat . this parallel is furthered by that rabbi\u2019s comment that the cat \u201cshould be drowned , \u201d since the dream scene takes place under water ( 14 ) . another similar exclusionary episode occurs when zlabya is in her bedroom with her new husband , jules . she throws the cat across the room and slams the door in his face . just like in her tomb in the dream , zlabya is sealed off and inaccessible . these comparable moments articulate the true threat posed by excluding diverse jewish identities\u2014the loss of an entire jewish cultural world .\nwith seven nods , the lars von trier film is unlikely to go home empty handed .\ndebuted at the toronto international film festival to critical acclaim , with the audience also clapping along to the songs .\na book about a rabbi\u2019s cat sounds like it would be cute and whimsical rather than dealing with any serious themes . if you wanted a cute and whimsical book about a cat , there are plenty out there . this is not one of them . joann sfar , who wrote these rabbi\u2019s cat graphic novels , is an award winning author precisely because of his themes . communication is a central theme of this novel . there is a russian character who isn\u2019t understood by the other humans when he first arrives , yet the russian and the\nrabbi sfar ( voiced by maurice benichou ) lives with his voluptuous daughter zlabya ( hafsia herzi ) and their mischievous cat . after eating the family ' s talking parrot , the feline ( francois morel ) starts talking in human language , much to the amazement of the rabbi who suddenly finds himself having to answer questions about god and faith .\nbased on a series of french comic books , the film features voice work by mathieu amalric , who played a nemesis of james bond in 2008\u2019s \u201cquantum of solace . \u201d the movie received a cesar , the french version of the oscar , as the best animated film of 2011 , and received a nomination in the same category at the european film awards .\nit is a good thing that the rabbi ' s cat develops the power of speech when he does , as he soon has to defend himself from charges of having eaten the family bird . but to zlabya , the rabbi ' s daughter , the cat is even more adorable now . not so much to the rabbi , as the cat , being able to count also and realizing he is old enough , begins to pester the rabbi to have his very own bar mitzvah . however , the rabbi soon has bigger problems to worry about like having to pass a french test in order to be recertified which the cat promises to help with . considering that talking animals have been around as long as there have been sound movies , it does seem more than a little strange that it has taken until very recently with\nthe rabbi ' s cat\nto fully explore what that would mean in the real world , especially in this timeless algeria where religions intersect and co - exist mostly peacefully . ( if i had to guess , i would have to say this might be the 30 ' s with the 1925 citroen playing a part , and after the russian revolution but no mention of the holocaust . ) but that ' s not all as this very entertaining film makes great use of hand drawn animation in a variety of styles to detail its world , aided by a very cool soundtrack .\nthe cat too contributes to the talkathon , having received the power of speech after devouring the family parrot . voiced by fran\u00e7ois morel , he ' s a lovable rationalist who engages the rabbi in debates on religious precepts but nonetheless wants very much to be bar mitzvahed .\ninspirations : my father\u2019s side of the family are arabic - speaking algerian jews , whose interactions are an inexhaustible source of drama , humor and reflection . the cat is my actual cat\u2014he is on my desk at the moment as i speak to you . the rabbi\u2019s daughter resembles my grandmother , esther malka . malka of the lions is one my great uncles who was a lion tamer in the atlas mountains .\nat last i have the sequel to joann sfar\u2019s graphic novel , the rabbi\u2019s cat . in his sequel , sfar once again places his readers and his talking cat in the heart of the jewish community in 1930\u2032s algeria . the cast of characters includes the rabbi , his footloose and mystical cousin malka of the lions , a suspected golem who turns out to be a ( temporarily comatose ) russian painter , a catholic priest , an arab prince , a former slave who doesn\u2019t know where she comes from , and a wandering sheik . if that soun\nthe title character of\nthe rabbi ' s cat\nis not your everyday cartoon fluffball . he ' s scrawny , apparently hairless and unapologetically disputatious . the animated world he inhabits is no kid - friendly adventure but a philosophical quarrel in the form of a frenetic road trip through 1930s africa .\ngreat observation , paul . this film is as much about being jewish as it is anything else . i would agree that larry having his land encroached upon certainly has meaning in the film beyond larry\u2019s personal personal frustration .\nchico and rita , 2011 ( oscar nominee , best animated film ) consulted on the release .\nla femme et le tgv , 2016 ( oscar nominee . live action short film )\nchen kaige\u2019s the promise , 2005 ( china\u2019s foreign language oscar submission ) golden globe nominee .\nwhen i thought the rabbi\u2019s cat 2 couldn\u2019t get any better than the first one , i was wrong ! in the end , nothing is as it seems \u2013 simply look at malka of the lions , the rabbi\u2019s cousin . the cat who is still nameless regains his speech and suddenly speaks a variety of languages , which we will see comes in handy . although he\u2019s often to hold his mouth shut . how familiar does that sound ? comparing it to our modern society ? what about a nice reminder of how easily we judge others , people who are differen\na cartoon about a cat who wants to become jewish will face off against major hollywood competition at one of the animation industry\u2019s biggest awards shows .\nthe cat is back , and this time , he is in search of the lost jerusalem . no matter what adventures the cat and his rabbi may have , beneath the surface of the adventures there is sly and not so sly commentary on issues that were relevant then and , as sfar gently points out , relevant today . yes , tintin and his\nmoron\ndog are made fun of , but watch for the story of the british colonialist , lost in a world that has passed him by and made him foreign to everyone and everything . overall , rabbi ' s cat 2\nthe second half of the film concerns a russian jewish refugee who escapes to algiers after being the victim of a pogrom .\ni knew i wanted to work in animation when : in the \u201980s , i discovered jan svankmajer . inspired by him , i got a film camera and made my own animated surrealist short film in my basement . as soon as i got the film back from the lab , i was smitten !\nsfar captures the contours of a certain historical moment in algerian jewish culture . he achieves this by endowing geography with significant agency . the power of time and place in the rabbi\u2019s cat reveals the author\u2019s deeper convictions about jewishness . in her essay \u201cborderlands , \u201d marla harris writes , \u201cjewish identity for sfar is not unchanging and ahistorical , but is shaped by specific social , political , and geographical environments\u201d ( 183 ) . this understanding is evident in many moments in the novel . on page 16 , the rabbi\u2019s cat asks the rabbi\u2019s rabbi for a jewish conversion . on this page alone , readers see the cat from five different perspectives\u2014from behind him , in front of him , under him , next to him , and from far away . in each of these panels , the image of the city outside of the window is more and more highlighted . the building seen through the window is a reddish color with a grid - like pattern . the pattern is reflected onto the trunk the cat sits upon in the top left frame , and it almost completely covers the panel in the bottom left , in which the rabbi tells the cat that his \u201clove of god isn\u2019t sincere\u201d ( 16 ) . in this way , the cat\u2019s physical environment literally surrounds him . the next panel , on the bottom right of the page , breaks away from the previous scenery . suddenly , readers see a panoramic view of the greater city , with a clothesline , a mosque , perhaps a synagogue , homes on a hill , and a wide , blue sky . the cat , narrating , tells us , \u201ci never said anything about love of god\u201d ( 16 ) . this statement of disbelief in god is what eventually prevents the cat from conversion . but with such an important statement , the reader does not even see the cat\u2019s face . rather , we see his city . in this crucial moment , the climax in this discussion of faith , geography moves from the story\u2019s background to its foreground . this page illustrates sfar\u2019s understanding that one\u2019s most intimate beliefs and identities are shaped by the geographical environment .\nthis review was originally published at the next best book club blog . to see the version of my review that has images from the graphic novel , please click the link ! to prepare for this book review , i re -

up of paraphernalia in the kids ' bedrooms , the greg chappell catalogue in the loo , the plastic gold trophies , speak of something that goes to the heart . william mcinnes ' first novel celebrates this infatuation and gives it a kind of glory . people who don ' t get it are not going to like cricket kings , but such folk would only read the da vinci code and the business pages anyway .\nsome of the yarns are very personal , and mcinnes speaks with frank honesty , but it\u2019s not just about him . the tangible link between objects and memories ring true for a lot of people , some of whom mcinnes has crossed paths with . in full bore we meet a meticulously well put - together man at a party , who has a framed snakes and ladders game from a rice bubbles packet on his wall because it reminds him of his father , a woman mourning her husband as she auctions off his furniture , or even mcinnes\u2019 own son with a little golden book called scruffy the tugboat .\nwilliam mcinnes is a talented writer and a natural storyteller . a tail - end baby boomer , he recalls summer holidays that seemed to go on forever , when he and his mates would walk down to fish in the bay ; a time when the aussie battler stood as the local labor candidate and looked out for his mates ; and a time when the whole family would rush into the lounge room to watch a new commercial on tv .\nso after the changes matt goes through , will people come up to mcinnes and say nice things ? he laughs . \u201cno , i don\u2019t think they are ever going to end up liking me . \u201d\nthornton recalls being part of the audition process for wenham\u2019s replacement , and for her , casting mcinnes was a \u2018\u2018pretty much a no - brainer\u2019\u2019 . \u2018\u2018i think it must have been difficult coming in , \u2019\u2019 thornton says . \u2018\u2018the show by that stage had developed such a following when david left . the thing that i liked was that william was such the polar opposite of david that i think it injected the show with a whole new life . \u2019\u2019\nwilliam\u2019s guest speaking engagements include the history council of victoria annual lecture , voices on the coast literary breakfast , the preoperative nurses conference and the 2012 etawa teachers conference . he has mc\u2019d for the australia day concert and the australia post bicentenary event .\nmcinnes calls it\nentertainment with a brain\nand the people featured include everyone from elvis impersonators flogging off memorabilia , to people in high society auctioning off a lifetime & apos ; s collection of antiques .\nthey recall the \u2018\u2018really nice\u2019\u2019 brother and sister who used to run it , and begin listing the lollies on offer . bullets , big boss cigars , cobbers , mcinnes offers . musk sticks , thornton adds .\ni ' ve always enjoyed mcinnes ' work and this book did not disappoint . mcinnes has an amazing ability to make you laugh and cry in one sentence and i love that all of his reflections and recollections are the stuff of ordinary , mundane , day to day life - the stuff that really matters in the end . sarah and william compliment each other beautifully . it is sad that their co - writing cannot be shared in the future . reading this book made me appreciate the small things in my everyday life . it made me love and appreciate my family and helped me to stand back and enjoy the everyday moments with the light heartedness and affection they deserve .\none of australia\u2019s most popular and recognisable actors , william mcinnes\u2019s tv roles in blue heelers and seachange made him a household name , the mini - series shark net and my brother jack earned him widespread critical acclaim , and cameo appearances on the landmark australian sitcom kath & kim cracked us up . bill has been nominated for numerous stage and screen awards , won a variety club drama award in 1997 and two logie awards for most outstanding actor in 2000 and 2004 .\nafter a recurring role in a country practice in 1990 , mcinnes appeared in series such as bligh , ocean girl , good vibrations and snowy before making his name as senior constable nick schultz on blue heelers in 1993 .\nalso an award - winning actor and best known for his leading roles in blue heelers and seachange , william has won two logies and an afi award for best actor in the film unfinished sky . he recently starred in the tv dramas deep water and rake .\nwilliam mcinnes is a very popular australian actor , writer , columnist and raconteur . he was born and grew up in redcliffe , queensland and now lives in melbourne with his two children . as an award - winning actor , he won two logies and an afi award for best actor for his role in the film unfinished sky and received critical and public acclaim for his leading role in the film look both ways , written and directed by his wife , artist and filmmaker sarah watt .\nbesides , writing , acting and family life , mcinnes says he takes an interest in civic life , because you get politicians you deserve and sometimes that can end up being a load of\nclowns running the show .\nfor all the seriousness of the subject , there will be those who come to see thornton and mcinnes just because they are back performing together . and beyond contemplating some weighty issues , there will be a revelation to some .\ndrivers caught in the act when they believe they are unobserved at the traffic lights , collectible toys from the cereal packets of yore , awkward dinner party conversations and the messy universe of the young are all in safe hands here . the snapshots of every day life provide glorious material for full bore , another celebration by author william mcinnes of what richness can be found in the small moments . the author , in both writing and speaking mode , is a master at going off on a tangent and then\nthis book is a throughly enjoyable read , and will have you chuckling along with mcinnes and his stories while also reflecting back on your own past , and the ways that everyday moments , objects and memories can take you back .\nraw , sad and honest sharing about sarah ' s encounter with cancer and how the family reacted . earlier chapters dealt with family life before the cancer and william is a very funny story teller - i snorted and laughed through his mis - adventures . a wonderfully human book .\nin 2012 , mcinnes lost his film maker wife sarah watts to breast cancer . these days he says he and the kids , now young adults , stick to an annual holiday as the time process their loss and make more memories ,\n\u201cif you want happiness you can just take a pill , and zonk yourself and be in a blissful state , \u201d mcinnes says . \u201cgo and meditate on the top of a mountain , not engage with the rest of the world .\nmcinnes laughs .\nit & apos ; s like a pleasant half hour of television . it & apos ; s one of those shows where you can kick off your shoes , sit back and meet some nice , funny folk .\nyet mcinnes always seemed a likely replacement . knight says mcinnes was one of the actors he had written the part of diver dan for , but he was tied up with blue heelers . \u2018\u2018i thought , well , the great thing about will , he\u2019s actually got a lot of depth , \u2019\u2019 knight says . \u2018\u2018his great ambition in life , i think , would have been to be a curmudgeonly labor senator up in queensland but unfortunately , he\u2019s enormously gifted as an actor . \u2019\u2019\nwilliam mcinnes and sarah watt\u2019s personal take on the simplicity yet messiness of everyday life is a pure joy to read . worse things happen at sea is about two famous australians in the television , film and writing industry ; yet two very ordinary people who live through the day - to - day stuff we all do : raising children , renovating homes , coping with the illness of love ones , making mistakes , fixing things and not being able to fix things . the fact that sarah watt died after a battle with cancer la\nwhile still acting , william found a new vocation as a writer , and delighted readers with very funny memoirs about his father and growing up in redcliffe , a man\u2019s got to have a hobby and that\u2019d be right . for more about bill\u2019s writing , see the main profile article below .\ndespite his many achievements , mcinnes has a reputation for being self - effacing . of those days on the seachange set , he initially recalls his fake tan , the hair dye , and being \u2018\u2018as big as clive palmer and just as wide\u2019\u2019 .\non television , mcinnes is perhaps best known for his dramatic roles in programs such as the shark net , my brother jack , blue heelers , stepfather of the bride , seachange , east west 101 and the time of our lives alongside claudia karvan .\nwilliam mcinnes is one of australia\u2019s most popular writers , delighting readers with his memoirs a man\u2019s got to have a hobby and that\u2019d be right , his novels cricket kings and the laughing clowns , and his insight into australian life since the 1940s , written with essential media and entertainment , the making of modern australia . in 2011 , with his wife sarah watt , he co - wrote worse things happen at sea , which was named the best non - fiction title in the abia and the indie awards in 2012 . his latest book is holidays .\nmcinnes offers that it was a \u2018\u2018nice gig\u2019\u2019 , but questions his own performance : he was a \u2018\u2018relatively\u2019\u2019 good - looking actor , standing at a certain angle , clenching his jaw a bit . \u2018\u2018that was just me being a ponce , i think . \u2019\u2019\nthe man behind the the characters has lived a life as fulfilling and rich \u2013 and full of heartbreak \u2013 as any he has portrayed on screen . mcinnes and his wife , actor and director sarah watt , lost their first son \u2013 cosmo \u2013 at birth .\nmcinnes played max connors , whose background was a formidable career as a foreign correspondent . knight says they braced for a ratings hit . instead , the audience grew . \u2018\u2018we just were waiting for the numbers to plummet , and incredibly , they started going up .\nwilliam mcinnes\u2019s new novel the birdwatchers ( see cover photo bottom left ) was published in october 2013 , and is about love , twitchers and learning to trust . it\u2019s a story about a bloke who ' s losing his hearing ; a bird that can ' t fly but likes being read to ; and a teenage daughter who doesn ' t know who to be angry at . it ' s about a woman living with the echo of illness finding out how much fun it can be to trust someone ; a man called murph who has a secret ; and perry como .\n\ud83d\ude4b\ud83c\udffc\u2640hands up hardcore fangirl of everything mcinnes has written and this one is no exception . his novels ( cricket kings and the birdwatcher ) are glorious and his extensive range of non - fiction texts are thoroughly engaging reads . i was given this book as a gift for christmas 2016 \ud83d\ude33 and my only excuse is that i knew once i read it i wouldn\u2019t have a mcinnes book to look forward to . hopefully there\u2019s another one on the way soon . in full bore we are taken on a meandering ramble of amusing anecdotes t\n\u2018william mcinnes has made a career of playing pretty uptight , taciturn types after hitting our screens as a romantic lead in seachange . but we know he can be very funny and very laid back in his observations of aussie backyard life and its rituals . [ the novel ] . . . has his trademark laconic larrikin tone and a meandering , slow pace that takes its unhurried rhythm from the careful patience of birdwatchers ( of which he is one ) . this gentle story underlines the way human and bird behaviour share certain characteristics from ruffled feathers to mating rituals . \u2019 caroline baum .\nthe effect is a very long way from christmas carols in the park , or for that matter , the pearl bay of seachange . and indeed , those who might come in hope of seeing laura and max will see thornton and mcinnes in a very different place .\nmcinnes and watt married two decades ago when he was an unemployed actor with poor prospects . they had two children , clem , now 18 , and stella , 13 , and settled into a comfortable family life in footscray , in melbourne & apos ; s western suburbs .\nwilliam ' s ramblings - like his memory that\nshoots off in all directions\n- ranged from free toys found in cereal packets , rugby players , fashions and how they jump generations , tattoos , and the sealed section of the magazine cleo with its\nnude coots\n, as his dad used to call them .\nthornton and mcinnes remained mates after seachange , partly helped by having weekenders in the same area . but there are no guarantees performers will stay in touch after a gig finishes . it\u2019s clear as they swap stories and anecdotes that there is a strong history of friendship between them .\nafter pottering around writing the occasional article for newspapers , he wrote a column for the australian women\u2019s weekly called \u2018william tells\u2019 ( groan ) . this only encouraged him , and in 2006 his first book , a man\u2019s got to have a hobby , was published to great acclaim , which astonished him more than it surprised anyone else ."]}

- but then i wasn ' t there . neither were the screenwriters , who reportedly based their screenplay on hillary clinton ' s experience at wellesley in the early 1960s . the film shows a school which teaches , above all , that a woman ' s duty is to stand by her man , and if clinton learned that , she also learned a good deal more . no doubt she had a teacher as inspiring as katherine watson ( julia roberts ) , who trades in the bohemian freedom of berkeley for a crack at wellesley ' s future corporate wives .\nthe painting is covered in a series of fine cracks , known as craquelure . this is not only common with old paintings , but would be unusual if it were not present . paint on old paintings often cracks due to movement of the ground preparation away from the canvas support , a process that naturally occurs over centuries . a similar effect occurs with paintings on wood panels . this craquelure is not the result of any external pressure , was not provoked artificially , and did not occur due to any imperfections in the paint or the ground . there are some later cracks due to stresses over time with the paint film . it has been confirmed that early cracks seen on the x -

release movies , 40 for limited - release movies , 20 for tv shows ) , including 5 reviews from top critics .\nthough mona lisa smile espouses the value of breaking barriers , the movie itself is predictable and safe .\nin 1953 , a time when women ' s roles were rigidly defined , free - spirited , novice art history professor katherine watson begins teaching at the prestigious all - female wellesley college - - which despite its academic reputation , is an environment where success is measured by ' how well ' the students marry . encouraging these women to strive for a more enlightened future , watson challenges the administration and inspires her students to look beyond the image of what is , and consider the possibilities of what could be - - contrary to popular belief .\nroberts asks her students rhetorical questions : what makes art good or bad ? who decides ? but the movie answers them as canonically as the syllabus roberts abandons .\nin terms of the gap between the movie it ' s trying to be and the movie it actually is , mona lisa smile is in many ways indefensible . yet for all its problems , it ' s satisfyingly movielike .\nlike the turtleneck cashmere sweaters and girdles that tie down these promising women , the movie is trite and trussed .\nkirsten dunst , julia stiles and maggie gyllenhaal furnish well -

by - numbers projects so loved by these women of wellesley college .\nmike newell directs a formulaic roberts vehicle that isn ' t without its charm .\nmona lisa smile , which is set in 1953 / 54 , tells the story of katherine ann watson ( played by julia roberts ) , a teacher who studied at ucla graduate school who leaves her boyfriend behind in los angeles to teach at wellesley college , a conservative women ' s private liberal arts college in massachusetts . . . . . . . . she encourages her students to study to become career professionals , she wants her students to lead the world and not just to live as the wife of somebody . she uses modern art to suggest that they need not conform to female stereotype .\njulia roberts plays a teacher in the mid - 1950 ' s when colleges like wellesley seem to exist just to prepare young women to be housewives , not independent people . similar to ' to sir with love ' , the teacher has to not only teach , but inspire her students to strive to do the best they can .\ni don ' t even want you to like it . what i want you to do is consider it .\nnot as much as i ' d regret not having a family , not being there to raise them . i know exactly what i ' m doing and it doesn ' t make me any less smart . this must seem terrible to you .\nsure you did . you always do . you stand in class and tell us to look beyond the image , but you don ' t . to you a housewife is someone who sold her soul for a center hall colonial . she has no depth , no intellect , no interests . you ' re the one who said i could do anything i wanted . this is what i want .\nnot all who wander are aimless . especially not those who seek truth beyond tradition , beyond definition , beyond the image .\nlook at this , mother . she ' s smiling . is she happy ?\nbasically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley\u2019s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . \u2026\nroger ebert ' s speech on empathy for the\n11th hour\nseries on april 9th , 1994 , being republished here in honor of his birthday june 18 .\nroger ebert was born on this day in 1942 , and died a little over five years ago . i owe a good part of my success\u2026\na look back at robert zemeckis ' half -

bound but morally shifty harvard man , and whose editorials in the school paper suggest watson is leading her girls in the direction of communism and , worse , promiscuity . ( a school nurse who gives advice on contraception has to leave her job . )\nwe are pretty sure what the story parabola of\nmona lisa smile\nwill be ( the inspiring teacher will overcome adversity to enlighten and guide ) , but the movie is more observant and thoughtful than we expect . it doesn ' t just grind out the formula , but seems more like the record of an actual school year than about the needs of the plot . in the delicate dance of audience identification , we get to be both the teacher and her students - - to imagine ourselves as a free spirit in a closed system , and as a student whose life is forever changed by her .\nbut , you ' re wondering , how can i identify with a 30ish teacher and her 20ish female students ? don ' t you find yourself identifying with just about anybody on the screen , if the movie is really working ? katherine watson is smart and brave and stands by her beliefs , and so of course she reminds us of ourselves .\njulia roberts is above all an actress with a winning way ; we like her , feel protective toward her , want her to prevail . in\nmona lisa smile ,\nshe is the conduit for the plot , which flows through her character . the major supporting roles are played by luminaries of the first post - julia generation , including not only dunst , but julia stiles as joan brandwyn , a girl smart enough to be accepted by yale law but perhaps not smart enough to choose it over marriage ; maggie gyllenhaal as giselle levy , who is sexually advanced and has even , it is said , slept with the studly young italian professor , and ginnifer goodwin as constance baker , who is too concerned about her looks ."]}

fi extravaganza as filtered through the visual tropes of film noir and german expressionism . the result is a staggering achievement in imagination that , like\nrichard widmark as a giggling , heartless hoodlum pushing a wheelchair bound old lady down the stairs , that ' s what everyone remembers of this superb classic . the film follows luckless nick bianco ( victor mature ' s best role ) , a nyc holdup man who is caught during an xmas season hit . sent to prison , he needs to be near his now parentless children ( his wife committed suicide ) . he becomes an informant , and is released . widmark , as hoodlum tommy udo ( all film fans have no trouble remembering that name ) targets stoolie mature for death . the film begins ( with the failed robbery ) and ends ( the showdown between widmark , mature and da brian donlevy ) with superb suspense sequenses played almost silent .\nmr . widmark , then 33 , had fourth billing in \u201ckiss of death\u201d ; his oscar nomination earned him better billing but similar roles in three 1948 films : william keighley\u2019s \u201cstreet with no name , \u201d jean negulesco\u2019s \u201croad house\u201d and william wellman\u2019s \u201cyellow sky . \u201d only with hathaway\u2019s \u201cdown to the sea in ships\u201d ( 1949 ) did mr . widmark get a heroic role and his name on top , but the public didn\u2019t seem interested in this bright , blond , squeaky - clean figure : they wanted their morally flawed , unpredictably violent widmark back .\ngerard mcmurray ' s the first purge is an often artful and rousing action film that ' s also deeply engaged with contemporary politics and social issues .\nthis good little b picture is raised to the heights of immortality by richard widmark\u2019s performance as the sociopathic gangster , tommy udo . his maniacal giggle and unidentifiable accent are a genius of serendipity . they will become an indelible memory after you\u2019ve watched this film only once , yet widmark said that his giggle was simply caused by uncontrollable nervousness . this was widmark\u2019s film debut and , in my opinion , his best performance .\nmade the case that the lead actor may be the best reason to see the film :\nits value exists mainly in stewart ' s finely drawn characterization of a cynical man with a nagging conscience .\nafter one of the crummiest summer movie seasons in recent memory , asking one film to redeem four months of tepid blockbusters might have been a suicide mission in and of itself . but \u201csuicide squad\u201d doesn\u2019t even come close . from the first scene to the last , it\u2019s an absolute mess , one whose harried pacing , jumbled narrative , and blaring soundtrack of radio hits suggests a desperate post - production attempt to reconfigure what ayer got on set into something palatable and poppy . the movie opens with a shot of the logo for belle reve prison , which serves as the suicide squad\u2019s home base ; the facility\u2019s slogan is \u201c\u2019til death do us part . \u201d the direness of this movie , along with the staggering number of films yet to come in the dc cinematic universe , makes these words feel like the ultimate threat .\n( aka deadly is the female ) united artists , 87m 6s guns and sex combine explosively in gun crazy , a film noir concerned wit . . .\nas in so much film noir , the crux of the story is a case of cherchez la femme . in this case la femme is abby marty ( frances mcdormand ) , wife of texas bar owner julian ( dan hedaya ) . julian suspects abby of having an affair with one of his staff , and when private eye loren visser ( m emmet walsh ) confirms this to be the case , julian sets a murder plan in motion . for most directors this would be enough , but the coens embrace the full - on complications of the genre to create a genuine sense of an\neasy\ncrime spiralling out of control .\narrow video offers a miraculously gorgeous restoration of abel ferrara ' s grubby and neurotic work of lo - fi horror expressionism .\nfilm acting is based on creating an identity , creating interest so widmark ' s performance is brilliant , which is much different than in stage acting . . . .\nalthough a credit card crows that all shooting , interior and exterior , was captured in new york , some studio interiors are obvious late in the film . nonetheless ,\nthe movie ' s hard - sell trailer shows most of the violent action in the film but doesn ' t bill richard widmark along with the stars . widmark would be a name above the title from his next feature forward .\nthrilling and edgy , it\u2019s also notable for a superb quincy jones score , and an early film appearance by christopher walken . indicator limited edition special features new and improved english subtitles for the deaf and hard - of - hearing .\nthe sobriety of leave no trace ' s vision serves as a conscious respite from the hyperbolic hate machine of modern american culture .\ncriterion releasing it during pride month proves that their sense of humor is just as sick as that of john waters and divine .\njames stewart stars as the persistent journalist and richard conte plays the imprisoned frank wiecek . wiecek is based on joseph majczek , who was wrongly convicted of the murder of a chicago policeman in 1932 , one of the worst years of organized crime during prohibition .\nthen the offer came along to star in\njade ,\nwhich he calls a once -

[ 4 ] they introduced a character inspired by melody ( mel o . dee ) on october 27th of that year . [ 5 ] the cartoonists carry the joke further . gruesome had had plastic surgery done to change his appearance , by a dr . einstein and gruesome gets drafted to portray jonathon brewster in a production of arsenic and old lace .\nin the film , gruesome was an escaped convict who discovered a scientist ' s secret formula for a gas that induced a temporary paralysis that simulated death . gruesome used this gas to rob a bank .\nthis story is less gruesome than the idea of ashton kutcher playing a big screen version of ben matlock .\ngruesome ' s fate in the film is ambiguous . after the lumber yard shootout , the bank robbery gang was described as having been\ncaptured\n, though it is unclear if gruesome himself survived tracy ' s gunshot . a later rogues ' gallery entry on the character indicated that he had survived and was serving a life sentence .\na master criminal called the spider puts the famous detective ' s brother under a hypnotic spell and turns him against dick .\na gang of criminals , which includes a piano player and an imposing former convict known as ' gruesome ' , has found out about a scientist ' s secret formula for a gas that temporarily paralyzes anyone who breathes it . when gruesome accidentally inhales some of the gas and passes out , the police think he is dead and take him to the morgue , where he later revives and escapes . this puzzling incident attracts the interest of dick tracy , and when the criminals later use the gas to rob a bank , tracy realizes that he must devote his entire attention to stopping them .\ngruesome received unwanted attention , due to his resemblance to monster movie icon boris karloff . however , gruesome was soon approached by sara karloff ( the actor ' s adult daughter , who was attending the convention ) , and she stated that she did not see a resemblance . gruesome was charmed by sara , and asked for permission to write to her from prison .\na gang of criminals , which includes a piano player and an imposing former convict known as ' gruesome ' , has found out about a scientist ' s secret formula for a gas that temporarily paralyzes anyone who breathes it . when gruesome accidentally inhales some of the gas and passes out , the police think he is dead and take him to the morgue , where he later revives and escapes . this puzzling incident attracts the interest of dick tracy , and when the criminals later use the gas to rob a bank , tracy realizes that he must devote his entire attention to stopping them . written by snow leopard\nthe reason this lively b - film reaches greatness is the thoroughly delicious performance by boris karloff as the vicious thug gruesome .\nboris karloff as gruesome adds a genuine feeling of menace to this addition of dick tracy potboilers . i liked the way his character refers to a henchman killing a cop as a ' useless killing ' . unlike the ' worthwhile killings ' he employs when he decides to get rid of the people who stand in his way . a superb example of twisted criminal logic ! once again , the character of dick tracy is dull and goes through the motions but gets his man in the end anyway . a disappointment is that gruesome doesn ' t meet his fate in a more exciting and . . . well . . . gruesome fashion in keeping with the style of this series of films . especially as gruesome cold bloodliy shoots and kills a woman to stop her squealing to the cops ! for just over a hour , these short films deliver some fast entertainment , there ' s flaws in the plots , the budgets are low but they are fun . and that ' s fair enough for me .\nat a bank where tess trueheart ( anne gwynne ) happens to be , gruesome and melody use nerve gas to incapacitate the customers and the security guard . they rob the place of more than $ 100 , 000 and shoot a cop on the sidewalk before tracy and his men arrive . gruesome demands half of the loot from x - ray . . . . or else .\nthe play resumed . during the second act , otis ' body was discovered by the other actors ( including dee , flintheart , and agate aggie ) . tracy realized that the actors had broken character and made his way backstage . entering from the wings , tracy was joined by sam catchem , who had escaped from the trunk . as they prepared to take gruesome into custody , gruesome detonated a cache of plastic explosives that he had hidden backstage . the set was destroyed , but the audience was largely uninjured .\nfilmed april 1 - late april 1947 , the last of rko ' s four classic dick tracy features , and the only one in which ralph byrd takes second billing . he would continue playing the character on television , until his untimely death in 1952 . see more \u00bb\n2017 marks the eisner centennial , as will eisner would have turned 100 years old this month . to help celebrate , mike curtis , joe staton and the team behind \u201cdick tracy\u201d brought the spirit to the comic strip for the first ever crossover between the two iconic characters .\nusing this gas the mobsters rob a bank by stunning all employees and clients . only tess who was in a phone booth where the gas can ' t penetrate is able to call police inspector dick tracy . but when the police arrives at the bank the robbers are gone .\nthe connection to arsenic and old lace was further expanded when it was revealed that gruesome ' s associate dr . einstein ( the name of the doctor in the play ) had given him his current face in a rushed plastic surgery operation , and when gruesome was cast in a production of the play .\nearly in the gruesome storyline , dr . einstein addresses him as\njohnny\n. this may indicate his real name , or it may be an alias .\nignoring a warning not to touch anything , gruesome sniffs a mysterious test tube that paralyzes him . he appears to be dead and is taken to the city morgue .\nstaton : i did a little explaining of my approach to the spirit before we got into it . i was taking on the spirit from a specific earlier part of will\u2019s strips . because tracy and denny colt have pretty similar hats most of the time , i wanted to make them a little more distinct . earlier in the run the spirit had a hat with a wider brim and a taller crown , and sometimes he had a topcoat . i was trying to make denny colt distinct from dick tracy .\ngruesome went to a theater in the city seeking an old associate named mel o . dee who owed him money . he was greeted by vitamin flintheart and a director who was seeking an actor for a production of the play\narsenic and old lace\n. the director thought that gruesome had the right appearance and gave him the role of jonathan .\ngruesome gave his name as\nchristopher cushing\n. this is a reference to the actors christopher lee and peter cushing , who co - starred in many british horror films ( including works based on dracula and frankenstein ) produced by hammer studios . it is unclear if this has any connection to gruesome ' s real name or if it is an entirely manufactured alias .\njust out of jail , gruesome ( boris karloff ) goes to the hangman ' s knot saloon , where his old crime crony , melody ( tony barrett ) , is now playing piano . gruesome takes him to a plastics manufacturer , where x - ray ( skelton knaggs ) and a mysterious mastermind are in possession of a secret formula and hatching a sinister plot .\nbeing an oldie myself , i enjoy some of the late 30 ' s to late 40 ' s black & whites . i like light mysteries with a twinge of humor . . . nothing too serious or dramatic . i was happy to find these old dick tracy movies on amazon prime . wouldn ' t pay for them but as a prime member , they are fun .\nun gruppo di criminali , che tracy sta tenendo sotto controllo perch\u00e9 implicati in una serie di furti di gioielli , ha qualche problema . i banditi , infatti , vengono decimati da un misterioso killer . tracy indaga e scopre che l ' implacabile assassino \u00e8 nientemeno che l ' ex boss della banda . costui si vuole infatti vendicare del tradimento sub\u00ecto dai suoi uomini .\nboris karloff is gruesome in this tale of a gang that uses paralyzing gas to rob banks . i uploaded this because the only other version available here was 3 . 1 gb in size .\nkarloff gives a fine performance here , everyone does really except ralph byrd . there are some genuinely chilling moments and all - in - all this is the best of the b - movie dick tracys .\nit ' s a fun little movie and karloff has fun with the role of gruesome . the puns in the scripts are fun and i\nm surprised karloff didn ' t get more gangster roles after this .\ngruesome and einstein were able to sneak away from the convention with the help of rikki mortis and abner kadaver . kadaver took the men to an abandoned theme park / miniature golf course where the fugitives could hide out .\ncurtis : they\u2019re both reactive characters . in the classic spirit story \u201cten minutes , \u201d the spirit shows up for three panels , i think , in the whole story . there\u2019s a lot of tracy stories where he\u2019s not the lead .\nstaton : when i signed up years ago to do \u201ctracy , \u201d i had some other things i was planning . between keeping up with \u201ctracy\u201d and there being a boon in doing cons , i haven\u2019t been able to concentrate on any other projects , so i\u2019m taking off for one continuity and shelley is going to be doing the whole strip \u2013 pencils , inks and letters \u2013 and then i\u2019ll be back on . we have no doubt that she\u2019ll do a brilliant job .\nif you liked the dick tracy comics , you ' ll love these 4 films . the first 2 on disc 1 star morgan conway , a little known actor , who does look the part . the other 2 on disc 2 bring back ralph byrd who played the role in 4 cliff hanger serials in the 30s . plus there are some nice little extras after each movie on each side of each disc . so put on your yellow trenchcoats it ' s time for some grade b mysteries of grade a caliber .\ngruesome ' s appearance evolved throughout his storyline in the strip , going from a more photo - realistic look to a highly - stylized , slightly cartoonish one . some readers have commented that he eventually looked as much like abe vigoda as he did like boris karloff .\nin the confusion , gruesome fled in a car driven by dr . einstein . they nearly ran down lizz , damaging their own vehicle in the process . abandoning the car , they entered a monster movie convention being held at locher auditorium , planning to lose themselves in the crowd .\ncurtis : the hard part was finding something that would be of interest and enough of a challenge for both dick tracy and the spirit . it\u2019s like those \u201cworld\u2019s finest comics\u201d where you have to have somebody who\u2019s tough enough to take on superman , batman and robin . i won\u2019t give away anything in the story , but perenelle flammel , who\u2019s the wife of nicolas flammel , is auctioning off her immortality formula . the people who are bidding to buy it are daddy warbucks , the dragon lady , the octopus , who sent mr carrion over to bid for him , and diet smith .\ngruesome was played by actor boris karloff , who is well - known for appearing in various monster movies , most notably as frankenstein ' s monster in the original universal feature film and its sequel . karloff ' s daughter sara ( who has become a character in the strip ) has a friendly relationship with writer mike curtis .\nstaton : will\u2019s approach to stories , and to life , was more humanistic than the gould approach . tracy keeps order , and the spirit just wanders into life and sees who\u2019s hanging in there . they\u2019re both crime fighters they both can take a lot of abuse , but they are from different takes on the world . there\u2019s a little bit of that in the crossover too .\nin his first in - strip appearance , gruesome mentions that a woman ( whom he claimed he was trying to help ) said that he looked like boris karloff . this is a reference to the play arsenic and old lace in which a killer ( played by karloff in the original broadway production ) explains his reason for murdering someone as\nhe said i looked like boris karloff\n( the line was changed for touring company productions in which the role was played by bela lugosi ) .\nstaton : it\u2019s no secret ; nic cuti i have the character e -

( they\u00e2\u0080\u0099ve been brought together by a tragic series of events , and they understandably have no wish to share all of this with a complete stranger , and so they invent this fantasy . ) the scene is played for a laugh , but there\u00e2\u0080\u0099s also romance in the air , thanks to the soaring french music in the background . for a minute here , the film stops trying to be clever , which is probably why the emotion comes across so strongly . sometimes , love stories are better made from the heart rather than the head .\nthe first half of this movie is really funny . acting is super . i had a few problems with the characterisation . would have been better , if there wasn ' t a forced story for every couple .\nthe first half is hil - larious ! there are really funny lines and situations in the second half too , but the compulsion to have a story breaks the flow . nevertheless , all the laughs were the perfect medicine for my horrible cold . yeah - yeah , i know my illness was not on their mind when they were making the movie , just thought i\u2019d let you know because i felt like it . just like , the writer threw in special effects , or her stand on social issues .\ncomedies like these bring out the dependencies between the dialogues and the comic timing . the great performances wouldn\u2019t mean anything without the witty lines . and as always , funny lines cannot tickle you if they are not delivered right . someone please tell me , why don\u2019t real radio jockeys speak this sensibly ? it\u2019s the serious parts ( mostly in the first half hour after interval ) where things drag . they do not gel with the general tone at all . the side - side story of the driver is out of place too . and the preachy tone in the end \u2013 why ? why ? ? why ? ? ? also , why does the screenplay slacken in the second half .\nacting by one and all is exactly what their characters demand . yes , even amisha patel ! when i first heard that she was playing a loud character , i was dreading the time i would see this movie . but , her restraint comes as a pleasant surprise . there are too many artistes to name them all here , but everyone has done their roles full justice . and so have the costumes of at least some of the people . i was really kicked by how the geek was almost always dressed in a solid - colored collared t - shirt .\nmost of the characters and their idiosyncrasies were dealt a fair hand . i especially liked how the sexual orientation of some of the characters was handled sans the usual snickers associated with such issues in hindi movies . a whole range of honeymooners is covered here , from the chauvinist who is more interested in photography than his wife to the couple who had no use for a camera , from the arranged marriage to the love marriages . while most characters are consistent , there are a few that leave you with questions . since , discussing these would give out a little more than i like , check out the details section ( spoilers there ! ) .\nthe songs look better than they sound . they are the kind that grow on you because you have seen them . the choreography of \u201cpyar ki ek kahaani\u201d is absolutely breathtaking .\nthis movie has a very hrishikesh mukherjee feel to it . and that says a lot coming from a huge hrishi - da fan . this is certainly the kind of light movie we needed after a series of serious movies we have seen in the last four weeks . if only , reema kagti had not worried so much about trying to squeeze in an actual story for every couple .\nwarning : clicking on\nfull review\nwill take you to an external website that could contain spoilers .\n. . . nonethless reema kagti ' s first directorial venture does manage to make a mark as an above average film which is fairly entertaining . . .\n. . . sans a single dull moment , the dialogues by anurag kashyap too keep the momentum going . . .\n. . . it won\u2019t reveal the meaning of life , but it\u2019s a fun escape . . .\n. . . kudos to the director for leaving no loopholes as far as groping for identification of characters is concerned . . .\n. . . debutante director reema kagti manages what nikhil advani could not in his six -

since it is laced with good dialogue , it doesn ' t annoy like most product placement does .\nthe situation in which aspi ( abhay deol ) and zara ( minissha lamba ) meet . the way it is narrated is very comical .\nthe whole nahid ( shabana azmi ) - oscar ( boman irani ) track . it was a\nsooo sweeeet\nrealtionship .\nthe scene in which partho ( kay kay menon ) gets drunk . real and funny .\npinky ( amisha patel ) and her annoying blabber - mouth . and the reactions people listening to her had . some of her lines kept me in splits for some time after the movie was over .\nnote : this section simply lists the things that i did not like in this movie . this is not the overall impression about this movie . please read the full review here\njust because this list is long doesn ' t mean i have to hate the movie . my overall rating indicates the general feeling i have while leaving the theatre . there can still be things that i did not like .\nthe character inconsistency in madhu ' s character played by sandhya mridul . what exactly made her change from a simple girl - next - door to a girl who dresses and behaves liberally ? also why exactly did she not want a divorce , what was in it for her ?\nalso partho and milly ( raima sen ) somehow don ' t seem real . if partho is conservative he could never have let milly get away with whatever she was doing . and if milly was really so free - spirited , she could never have been dominated . i won ' t talk about how . i don ' t think they could be attracted to each other given their base characters because what attracts one person to the other is i think not definable . ok , enough philosophy !\nthe stand on why women should not be forced to wear a sari and how it is okay to elope when you are in love . this was not the right forum .\nthe driver ' s dark character . please don ' t tell me his character existed only so nahid ( shabana azmi ) could give a speech .\nshilpa ' s ( dia mirza ) reappearance - absolutely unnecessary . again , i suspect it was to drill in the point that lovers should not be forced apart .\nthis section lists things that i think are not important to the overall impact of the movie . in most cases , it could be explained away by something like ,\nwe noticed the glitch after the scene was shot and there were schedule / budget issues and thus we could not re - shoot it\n. i like giving the makers the benefit of doubt , but i am amused nevertheless . hopefully , they will tickle you too .\nmehak , i loved the part that it had no particular story in mind . in fact , i did not like the bit where they tried to put a story in forcibly for each couple . addi , yeah , the climax was a let down considering they kept it lively throughout the movie . oh well . . .\nabhilah has posted 1 comments and has rated 0 movies . see abhilah ' s page for more details .\ntiya agrawal has posted 1 comments and has rated 0 movies . see tiya agrawal ' s page for more details .\ncopyright \u00a9 2006 -

to - be - free - spirited wife . hitesh and shilpa ( ranvir shorey and dia mirza ) are a couple from surat , theirs is an arranged marriage and she will not let him get anywhere near her when they are alone .\naspi and zara ( abhay deol and minissha lamba ) are the unbelievably happy parsi couple who have known each other 16 years and never had so much as a disagreement . and finally , there ' s bunty and madhu ( vikram chatwal and sandhya mridul ) playing the expat and his new bride\u0101 - - the circumstances of their meeting and marrying are unconventional , to say the least , so naturally both have secrets from each other . add to this the mysterious man on a motorcycle who is trailing the bus on its journey from mumbai to goa and this seems like a film with the promise of a lot of fun and entertainment , right ?\nthis film must have looked way more appealing in the script than it ever manages to do during its entire running time . most of the above - stated characteristics of the couples are pretty much the only characteristics exhibited during the entire film . no major character development is achieved that could help the audience fall in love with any of them .\nthe secrets , as and when they are revealed , do very little to further the plot or the action . everything happens , nothing evolves . there is a fantasy element to one of the couple ' s stories that comes off as so far - fetched that it makes the whole exercise laughable rather than genuinely funny . with the marked exception of kay kay , none of the other cast members are playing against type and it shows in the fact that the audience will be left feeling like they ' ve seen it all before , and done better .\nthe pacing of the film as well as the delivery of the multi - strand storyline seems to have been developed along the ' oh we haven ' t seen that couple in so many minutes so let ' s drop in one of their sequences here ' line of reasoning . even the setting , goa , is made to look as unappealing as it did in bride & prejudice .\nbeyond giving various characters phrases to define their ethnicity , little has been done to authentically place them in the skin of their characters . neither deol nor lamba come off as parsi , patel does not feel punjabi , neither shorey nor mirza are convincing as gujaratis and the less said about irani ' s senior catholic citizen the better ( in fact it would be wonderful to have to watch a film where the man is not required to emote in a bad wig ) .\nas a debutante it must be wonderful for director reema kagti to have the backing of major industry players like farhan akhtar and ritesh sidhwani . nothing about the film serves as proof of that faith .\nthe score by vishal - shekhar is forgettable , the surprise cameo is neither surprising nor welcome and the movie ends as it began .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nsecret superstar movie review secret superstar is a sweet little song of dream , hope , love and humanity . powered by winning acts b . . .\nranchi diaries movie review aimed as a back -

slapping tribute to the crime dark comedies genre set in small towns , unfortunately . . .\ni love a good film with a big cast , but it ' s often sad to admit that the bigger the gallery of characters , the tougher it is to keep the film solid in every aspect . i liked\nbut there were definitely problems with some of the characters not getting their story properly told , or some characters feeling a bit redundant . with\n, you can see a lot of care was put into the script and the story , making all of the couples stand out in their own way , their stories told very neatly . unfortunately , some of the performances are lacking .\nnot all couples are happily in love . hitesh ( ranvir shorey ) and shilpa ( diya mirza ) were arranged , and especially shilpa has a tough time adjusting to married life .\nothers couldn ' t be happier , like partho ( kay kay menon ) and milly ( raima sen ) , a more traditional couple , or . . .\n. . the absolute adorable aspi ( abhay deol ) and zara ( minissha lamba ) , who are in harmony with one another to the point of the absurd .\nit took me a long while to watch this movie . i always meant to , as it looked like a servicable little film , the cast was interesting enough ( no huge favourites but people i always enjoy seeing more of ) , and\n. when i finally watched it , i was glad . it ' s definitely a lovely film , flaws and all . it has those edges of realism , and of fantasy , and overall it ' s a fluffy , yet grounded film about love . sometimes i have a hard time pinning down what a director was attempting to do with a film - here , i think i completely understood director reema kagti ' s vision ( yes , female director ; not something you see every day ) .\nthe soundtrack is nothing too memorable but very nice all the same , and i really warmed toward some of the characters . they all get their story told , and i really appreciated that . in fact , i was disappointed when the film ended . i would ' ve gladly watched about 30 , 40 or even 50 minutes of their escapades in love and life .\nyes , ameesha is actually good in this . she plays the bubbly , spoiled , oblivious pinky to perfection , actually making the character very likable .\nbut watching this movie , and this dreadfully acted gay storyline , i couldn ' t help but wonder if it was a simple case of stigma being too great to get somebody of actual talent . like the moment you mention that the role is not 100 % heterosexual , the pool of talent slims down to almost nothing , you take your pick , and end up with nothing as good as you might ' ve hoped .\nmy favourite couple is without a doubt partho and milly , because their journey is interesting and heart - warming , and because i unabashedly girlcrush raima sen . the other stand - outs are naheed and oscar ( with her teaching him urdu , and their memorable backstory ) and aspi and zara ( with their cutesyness and secrets ) .\nwould i recommend it ? absolutely . it ' s fluff , but it ' s also a bit more , and i ' m willing to forgive its flaws for the sheer watchability . sometimes the films you find yourself wanting to rewatch are far , far from perfect . this is one of those cases .\nthis was such a perfect ensemble piece and all the characters were fairly believable stereotypes . like you , my favorite couple was partha and mili . they were such a realistic couple , and reminded me so much of some of my own friends ! and of course shabana and boman irani were great , though the same cant be said of boman ' s wig .\nwhen ameesha patel and even diya mirza out - act you\nunfair to diya mirza ! i thought she was pretty good in dus kahaniyan and tehzeeb .\nmy apologies ! i clearly haven ' t seen very much with diya , but the little i ' ve seen were just kind of . . blah . no , wait , actually i quite liked her in lage raho munnabhai . what ' s with my judgmentalness these days ? oh dear . aww , boman ' s wig . i agree , not a good decision . he looks quite fine without it .\na hindi movie buff from finland nice ! me myself discovered hindi film with a little help from cheap airfare from finnair . how did you happen to come across the wonderfull world of song and dance when living so far away from the holy ganga or anything else hindi related ? dink from denmark\nbtw considering you taste in movies you should watch\nsorry bhai\n. i couldn ' t find it on your review list and i think you would like it .\nohhh , it ' s been so long since i ' ve seen this movie , but i remember having a very similar reaction as you did . i thought it was sweet , cute , fluffy and not half - bad , but i thought it ended a little too abruptly for my liking . obviously all of the stories weren ' t going to be tied up in a nice little package . . . but i wanted just a bit more ! i should give it a re - watch sometime soon . : )\ndink - long version here : urltoken short version : music class in senior high school . thanks for the rec ! anita - it ' s pretty rare that i feel like an indian movie ends too soon but this was definitely one of those cases .\ni really liked this film . and i found that statement more unfair to amisha , she is very underrated as an actress . she has delivered some flawed performances but she has also given solid performances in films such as gadar , humraaz , and ankahee ( which i beleive is her most understated performance to date ) . i wish she gets to do something beyond that , i find her face very beautiful and amongst one of the most beautiful that has graced in bollywood . other girls i find beautiful are rani mukerji , kareena kapoor and dia mirza . don ' t really bother about the rest , most of them are plastic .\na blog on indian cinema by a 20 -

and its not just a funny movie - its a really really good script . the director ( reema ) has portrayed the characters in such a great way . . each story has something special abt it and ( almost all ) the performances are great . . it is one of the most enoyable movies i have ever seen . . always puts a grin on my face\nan interesting concept , , but i wish the end product cud ve been more interesting , , yes it addresses a few imp things but doesnt hold much to keep the audience glued , , inconsistent at times .\nreema kagti ( director ) , please dont make your second movie . . . . get a new vocation . . . . puhleezz\nthis flick is easliy one of the best movies made for the lighthearted viewer . a very low - budget movie , considering there are nobig stars and no big sets involved , its a through and through comic act with its own share of emotional moments . boman and shabana rock as the old age couple , and sandhya mridul and minishha lamba were presented quite nicely ! overall , a great entertaining watch !\nsaw a bit . . abhay deol was like ssshhhiitt . . .\nnever seen before\ntype of film , sure it has couples , but it delves into the strengths and weaknesses of these relations , where as other multi - starers such as salaam - e - ishq only focused only on the problems of each character throughout the movie and made sure that in the end love conquered all\nthe script is another of\nno smoking\ndirector anurag kashyap ' s postmodern hotchpotches , full of baffling diversions ( two of the characters turn out to have superpowers ) , dead - ends ( the couple in the arranged marriage - the film ' s sole source of dramatic conflict - disappear after a half - hour , and the unifying idea of the coach trip shortly thereafter ) and signs of evident desperation in the scene where the male half of the square couple ( kay kay menon ) unknowingly ingests hallucinogenics .\ntwo songs are superlative but otherwise movie is bad and pretentious . a few good moments . boman irani is one of them - he rarely if at all disappoints . the script attempts something different but loses its way in many places . some threads go nowhere . the tango song pyar ki ik kahani is one element of this song that aims to be different from typical bollywood and succeeds resoundingly . it is composed , sung and danced on with panache . world class . the vari vari song exudes an infectious energy . in both javed akhtar reiterates his position as a true songwriter of class . cant fault any of the actors or director . screenplay was conceived out of inspiration but looks like completed without it . its worth a watch but dont kill yourself getting to it . if you do get around to seeing it , the two songs and a few stray moments will make it worth it .\npretty entertaining and quirky take on relationships . i liked how all ( well , most of ) the characters were so free -

key promotion at screening of the film on thursday .\nexpectations one didn\u2019t really expect a soundtrack for charlie kay chakkar mein . hence , it was a surprise to know that there as many as four tracks composed for the film . since the naseeruddin shah starrer deals with drugs , it is pretty much on the cards that the musical team of harry anand , vishal mishra , gurinder seagal , rohit kulkarni , sandeep nath , karan arora and nishant lal would have come together for a psychedelic trance score .\ni\u2019ve been a huge fan of charlie chaplin since childhood . i tried my best to look like him .\ncharlie kay chakkar mein original motion picture soundtrack ep is one of the gorgeous album of harry anand vishal mishra gurinder seagal rohit kulkarni . album ' s primary genre is bollywood , it was released on november 6 , 2015 and contains 4 tracks of duration 13 minutes and 40 seconds with a soft , smooth , and pleasant sound . . . to preview any song , mouse over the play button and click play . click to download button to download mp3 . .\na steamy opening track\nlet ' s play boy\nfrom upcoming investigative thriller\ncharlie kay chakkar mein\n, starring naseeruddin shah , is out on zee music ' s digital platforms and its makers claim its on the lines of james bond films title tracks . click here to subscribe to times of india ' s youtube channel urltoken like times of india ' s page on facebook : urltoken follow times of india ' s page in twitter : urltoken circle times of india entertainment page on g + : urltoken\ndrugs . cops . gangsters . youngsters . mix \u2018em up , and you get \u2018charlie ke chakkar mein\u2019 . or at least that\u2019s what the film sets out to do . which , if done effectively , could have been a fun caper . what you get instead is a confused mish - mash of scenes , with characters doing lines , snorting , shooting up , shooting at and so on . and on .\ncharlie kay chakkar mein tries hard to come across as a dark tale from the by lanes of mumbai but unfortunately it sticks to something which is already seen . there are multiple story lines and after a point it is ridiculous to expect the audience to maintain its attention . in an attempt to come across as a dark drama , the film turns out only smoke and no fire . the makers introduce a multiple characters like an anurag kashyap film but fail to do justice to them . not all stories are ended properly and the incomplete thread leaves you a little confused .\nthe uncensored version of the title song of charlie kay chakkar mein could land the makers in trouble , for it\u2019s too hot to handle ! the song , nicknamed let\u2019s play boy , features hottie elena roxana maria fernandes who makes the temperatures soar with her act . the song\u2019s visuals are hot and play on your senses , and for those interested , it has some double meaning lyrics as well ( in the uncensored version ) , including \u2018who the f * * k is charlier ? \u2019 and \u2018it\u2019s a catch 69 situation\u2019 . in fact , # whothefischarlie is trending on twitter .\ndirector manish srivastav manages to create a decent amount of mystery around the plot but fails because of the knack to handle multiple sub - plots . there is a cliched representation of the gangsters and i could\u2019ve really loved to see something new . the concept of homicides and it\u2019s footage was quite a killer one but sadly it does not develop further into a nail - biting affair . the lighting is kept quite predictably dark in the film . surprisingly , the director does not at all play with the background score and i find it amusing . crime thrillers need a certain amount of music to keep them steady and charlie kay chakkar mein misses that .\nin the title track , anand is seen in the charlie chaplin avatar but unlike the character\u2019s usual funny side , anand explores a funny but mean side .\nthe story of charlie kay chakkar mein starts inversely with each new twist unfolding at the most unexpected time . it is a story of three different characters and mainly deals with the nature of truth . what happens when addl . commissioner of police , sanket pujari ( naseeruddin shah ) is assigned an unusual case of multiple homicides . an interesting twist is the fact that they have been caught on camera . what lies as the biggest task on the shoulders of pujari is identifying the nature of truth in this tale . the difference between what the eyes can see and what the actual truth is . considering that suspense forms a key in the story , it would be best not to give any spoilers about this tale !\nfilm ' charlie kay chakkar mein ' , an investigative thriller produced by karan arora under banner ' picture thoughts production ' , directed by manish srivastav starring naseeruddin shah , amit sial , anand tiwari , subrat dutta , auroshikha dey and manasi rachh is slated to release on 6th november this year . producer \u2013 karan arora director \u2013 manish srivastav writers \u2013 manish srivastav and amit sial co producers \u2013 manish srivastav and amit sial executive producers \u2013 mayur srivastva , amitabh aurora associate producer \u2013 chintan kapadia cinematographer -

' and other such lines . the idea is to bring in a 007 kind of coolth , but the effect is nowhere close .\nmatching the general tone , naseer vamps away happily , nodding sagely and blowing smoke rings . he gets to be massaged by a luscious half - naked lovely , and spout some hilarious lines . one of them turns out to describe the film perfectly : \u2018poori ki poori film chhod gaye hain , phir bhi samajh mein nahin aa raha kahaani kya hai . \u201d\nthe movie is divided into two parts - - the first gives us an idea about the crime and the other half is the investigation . a bunch of youngsters ( amit sial , anand tiwari , manasi rachh , disha arora , aanchal nandrajog and nishant lal ) , who are high on some \u2018charlie\u2019 ( cocaine ) get into a brawl with a young man ( sanam singh ) at a club and kill him accidentally .\na big delivery of \u2018charlie\u2019 is hijacked , and the \u2018bhai -

interval , we\u2019re treated to some interesting twists and turns .\n\u201canand\u2019s character has almost three different shades , which is as if he\u2019s playing three different characters in the film itself . right from the beginning to the end as film progresses his character undergoes a drastic transformation , \u201d srivastava told ians .\ninterestingly , it was \u201cshahid\u201d actor rajkummar rao who was initially going to essay anand\u2019s character . \u201crajkummar rao was also part of the rehearsals till a certain point of time , but unfortunately our schedule clashed with the dates of another of his film . that was a bigger , commercial film and so he had to leave our film , \u201d said srivastava .\nthe makers then held discussions with anand . \u201che is a very busy actor and has been part of numerous big projects , but when he heard the script and knew more about his interesting character in the film , he immediately gave his consent . \u201d\nanand has also been assistant director in films such as \u201cthe president is coming\u201d and \u201cbarfi ! \u201d and has even directed short films . but his strongest skill remains acting , which he depicted in \u201cdetective byomkesh bakshy ! \u201d earlier this year .\nthe film swings rapidly between the mobsters and the guys and gals being targeted by them , as well as the cops trying to unravel the mystery . equally rapidly , you stop taking any of it seriously because the characters are busy acting away : even anand tiwari , who\u2019s usually reliable , is reduced to mouthing lines , and sial , who was so effective in \u2018titli\u2019 , becomes a blur of mannerisms .\nshubhra gupta shubhra gupta is film critic and senior columnist with the indian expr . . . read more\nfor movies news follow us on facebook , twitter , google + and for news updates download our news app .\ntop news : team india sets record after registering 1st t20 series . . .\nabp news uses cookie on this website to ensure a better user experience , beautiful functionalities and to measure visitor behavior in order to improve the content .\nby continuing to use this website , you agree to the use of these cookies .\ngoing by the song , it\u2019s a film to be avoided watching in a theater .\nthe lyrics and the poor stylistic effort of the song \u2013 a half rural rap song if ever there is one \u2013 and sung in a lackluster manner which sounds half -

linear narration , found - footage photography and inconsequential banter among the youngsters . also , too many characters make the plot convoluted .\nwhile a twist in the tale adds to the fun , an excess of it makes the film look tedious and far - fetched . while deceitful confessions and shocking revelations keep the tension mounting , an overdose of these kill the joy .\nnaseeruddin ' s shah clever ( as always ) acting , ably supported by amit sial and anand tiwari , makes this crime mystery gripping , despite the flaws . if you can keep a tab on the multiple characters and their ulterior motives , this one is quite unpredictable and keeps you guessing .\nrefrain from posting comments that are obscene , defamatory or inflammatory , and do not indulge in personal attacks , name calling or inciting hatred against any community . help us delete comments that do not follow these guidelines by marking them offensive . let ' s work together to keep the conversation civil .\netimes is an entertainment , tv & lifestyle industry ' s promotional website and carries advertorials and native advertising .\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 bennett , coleman & co . ltd . all rights reserved .\nis a thriller that loses its grip in the middle but manages to surprise towards the end .\nto save themselves from trouble , they have to finish the work that the dead man was appointed to do .\nthe same series of events narrated three -

written by manish shrivastava\nmanish srivastav\u2019s debut film is like a sad dish that takes all your great ingredients and your enthusiasm and turns them into an underwhelming mess .\nit\u2019s even got a superb cast in naseeruddin shah , anand tiwari and amit sial . but manish srivastav\u2019s debut film is like that sad dish that takes all your great ingredients and your enthusiasm and turns them into an underwhelming mess .\nthe story is fairly straightforward \u2014 a shipment of drugs goes missing , and everyone connected to it is baying for the blood of those who stole it while simultaneously trying desperately to chase it down .\nsanket pujari ( shah ) , the cop assigned to the case , stumbles upon an unusual lead \u2014 video tapes that showcase a group of youngsters ( tiwari , sial and gang ) drinking and shooting up , and also some sort of a basement where people are being shot .\nthe film shifts jaggedly between the video footage and the cop\u2019s investigation , as the latter uncovers a larger conspiracy at play .\nthe problem lies in how predictable that larger conspiracy is . each twist can be seen a mile away , and still is made to play out with all the intensity of an earth - shattering revelation . long after the audience has figured out the whodunit , supercop pujari is still struggling to piece together the \u2018puzzle\u2019 .\nto make matters worse , the film is peppered with corny scenes such as the one where pujari is serviced by a cooing , scantily clad starlet , in something straight out of a crummy z - grade flick . sadly , the script isn\u2019t self - aware enough to pass for subversion . this movie is just stuck between a rock and a hard place \u2014 too serious to qualify as grindhouse feature , too silly to be an entertaining thriller . fans of either genre will likely find themselves underwhelmed .\nexcept for tiwari , none of the other actors manages to keep you interested . the attempts at depicting the \u2018contemporary youth\u2019 wear out their welcome in a jiffy , the montages of cocaine - snorting , heroin - injection , gunplay and titillation becoming rather tiresome rather fast . it\u2019s an achievement that such a small indie film managed to secure a theatrical release , but this film fails to capitalise on that opportunity .\nanyone who has seen just a handful of thrillers is likely to be bored ; even those new to such films are unlikely to experience any surprise . all in all , the most entertaining element is probably the trippy graffiti plastered all over that spooky basement . makes you wish the whole movie could have been that much fun .\nthe underworld crime drama complete with murder mystery elements , street lingo , drug mafia , cool cops etcetera was a fresh idea a decade ago . now , having seen everything there is in this genre , what ' s the point if a film doesn ' t bring anything fresh to the defunct combo ?\nwe see a police team led by naseeruddin shah , examining a so - called complicated case . a drug deal goes awry . three young people are found murdered in a garage . and the cops find video recordings of their activities a few weeks prior to the fateful day . so we flashback to the turn of events . we see that the group of friends , all strugglers in the film industry , like to party hard and are drug - addicts . they get embroiled in a hit - and - run case , but what gets the incident more complicated is that the person they bumped off was connected to the underworld .\nnow , they now have to finish off a drug deal in order to wash their hands off the hit - and - run accident . naturally everything goes awry , and the cops try unraveling the motivation behind the murders of the three friends .\nthe film starts off promisingly as we see the lives of the gang , their drug - fuelled parties , silly banter , and simmering love tensions . all this is recorded by a camera - happy friend who claims to be recording this for a\nprivate film\n. so the camera is on during fights , altercations , heck , even when they have that hit - and - run accident !\nthen on we see the cops \u2013 naseeruddin shah and team - break their heads over the case . meanwhile , shah ' s character calls a woman\nshowpiece\n, and another character explains how women should be treated like animals and always kept on a leash .\nwriter - director manish srivastav displays style , but that cannot compensate for the lack of substance . he folds in too much , too soon in the movie . the film did have the potential to be a breezy crime - caper , even if a conventional one . but it is overburdened with too many sub - plots and too many improbable developments .\nyou can sense the twists in the film a mile away , and it ' s disappointing that the film does not surprise you at any juncture . if only , it ' s annoying to see how the makers mistake a convoluted plot for being layered .\nthere are new developments for the heck of it ( imagine someone putting up a hit - and - run accident on youtube and boasting about its popularity , despite being involved in the accident themselves ) , and too many for you to track or care about .\nthe talented cast does well . but the astute performances cannot save the film that ' s too clever by half .\ndirector : manish srivastav writers : amit sial , manish srivastav cast : naseeruddin shah , disha arora , auroshikhadey strength : naseeruddin ' s acting , plot weakness : weak direction , failure of engagement runtime : 102 minutes rating : 2 . 5 / 5\nplot : the film deals with a group of drug addict friends , who get entangled with illegal drug trade nexus , leading to multiple homicides .\nthe first half is bland , as the crime is unveiled in flashbacks , however , we ' re treated to some interesting twists and turns post - interval . the same series of events narrated three - four times with a different story each time might get confusing but you won ' t stay puzzled for too long . eventually , it manages to surprise . the abusive language is frequently muted , and the silences can get annoying after a while . the actors have done a decent job . subratadatta , who plays a drug peddler , delivers a fine performance . nishantlal , the aspiring filmmaker , plays the desperate creep to perfection . naseeruddin shah ' s performance , like always , is brilliant . his portrayal as the investigative office is precisely what is needed . he hasn ' t overdone his role at all .\nstay updated on the go with the daily star news app . click here to download it for your device .\nany unauthorized use or reproduction of the daily star content for commercial purposes is strictly prohibited and constitutes copyright infringement liable to legal action .\nsathia -

- and one of them , even now , hysterically fears that a samurai will make off with his daughter . yet the bandits represent a greater threat , and so the samurai are hired , valued and resented in about equal measure .\nphoto credit : banner image from the magnificent seven 1960 remake starring yul brynner and steve mcqueen - image via google .\nas a final observation on seven samurai ' s realistic approach to its narrative , kurosawa shows the surviving samurai leave the village with little to show for their work , save their honor and war tales . the villagers can live in peace , if only for a time , while they must go seek employment on the road without their brothers in arms . there is no hollywood ending , or cheap emotional payoff . seven samurai refuses to condescend \u2013 and this is part of its greatness . ( the ending is softened somewhat in john sturges ' 1960 remake , the magnificent seven , with yul brynner . )\nseven samurai is set in the sengoku period , rather than the tokugawa period more typical for samurai films . the sengoku jidai , or warring states period , was an exceptionally turbulent time of uncertainty for japan , as near constant military conflict shook the country for nearly one and half centuries .\nalthough it would become the film to which all samurai films would later be compared , seven samurai did not immediately change the jidaigeki genre . for that purpose , it had been too expensive and too exception to be straightforwardly copied . it would take seven years and another kurosawa film to really change the genre , with the release of yojimbo in 1961 , and sanjuro a year later . ( see yoshimoto 245 )\non the structural side , seven samurai has been noted for its atypical length and the mastery with which kurosawa pulls off a film nearly three and a half hours long . kenneth turan in his short essay included with the newer criterion release of the film talks about the film\u2019s length and pacing , noting that unlike many other equally long films , seven samurai \u2018s length is not only necessary but also natural . audie bock in her japanese film directors similarly draws our attention to the film\u2019s rhythm , noting that just like seven samurai , \u201cthe best kurosawa films unfold in a push - and - release rhythm , with vigorous action tempered by static dialogue , gripping suspense relieved by light romance or outright buffoonery . and at calculated intervals in the course of the unfolding come moments of kurosawan truth . \u201d ( 176 ) this \u201cpush - and - release rhythm\u201d is easily recognisable in seven samurai , where weightier scenes are often followed by lighter , often comic ones . indeed , seven samurai could at many points be called a seriously funny film .\nthe samurai even by law could not become farmers . . . .

he is the guide for the samurai of course , the link to the villagers , but is he not as brave , as willing to take risks , as wise and protective as the samurai themselves ? in scene after scene he attends the samurai , first as a social subordinate , but as time goes on , as an equal . i honestly see rikichi as the eighth samurai\u2026\ndecoy protagonist : played with . for the first thirty minutes , the film follows four peasants tasked with hiring samurai . once they recruit kambei , the story focuses mainly on the samurai .\nseven samurai / shichinin no samurai ( 1954 ) . dir . : akira kurosawa . scr . : akira kurosawa , shinobu hashimoto , hideo oguni . cast : toshiro mifune , takashi shimura , yoshio inaba , seiji miyaguchi , isao kimura , kamatari fujiwara , yukiko shimazaki , yoshio tsuchiya , minoru chiaki , daisuke kato .\nseven samurai , like most of kurosawa\u2019s films , is typically seen as a male dominated work , a film about men and male bonding . joan mellen , in waves at genji\u2019s door , insists that the film\u2019s only female character of any importance is the peasant girl shino , with whom the young samurai katsushiro falls in love . ( 51 ) in contrast , however , in her essay \u201cseven samurai and six women\u201d ( printed in japanese cinema : texts and contexts ) , d . p . martinez writes about the role of women in seven samurai , arguing that a \u201cclose look at [ kurosawa\u2019s ] films reveals that they are peopled with fascinating , complex women who might occupy little screen time but whose personalities and motivations are essential to their plots\u201d ( 112 - 113 ) .\nseven samurai , if you ' ve not seen it , is the story of a village that hires - yes ! - seven samurai to protect the harvest from people looking to steal it . effectively , the farmers of the village hire in outside help to offer some defence to those who come and steal their livelihoods . it ' s a stunning film , and , it should be noted , a much longer one than a bug ' s life .\nafter being attacked by a group of bandits several times , a group of villagers seek help of seven samurai in order to fight the bandits once and for all . this is the story of how they made their pass through the enemy ' s massive army and their tremendous epic war with the bandits . the seven samurai will do anything in order to win the battle ; however , there are still a lot of obstacles and problems they must solve .\nseven samurai unrolls naturally and pleasurably , like a beautiful scroll or valuable rug , luxuriating in its elongation\u2014it takes an entire hour just for the basic task of choosing the titular seven . rather than try to ignore time , the film emphasizes its passage , underlining key scenes with a quiet but insistent drumbeat that could almost be a clock ticking off the inexorable seconds .\nthis intermission card arrives 107 minutes in akira kurosawa\u2019s 1954 film seven samurai . it lasts approximately 5 minutes and is accompanied by a music score by hayasaka fumio . at the time of writing , it can be watched on youtube .\nthe sentiment is repeated by chris adams at the end of the magnificent seven ( 1960 ) , but this is contrasted by the highly stylized , explosive , and revenge - filled 2016 remake . emma cullen ends the film reminding the audience that the heroics of her seven guns - for - hire would not be forgotten , but perhaps the seven worth remembering are the ones who had the least to gain .\nrbeort \u2013 i\u2019m not familiar with army of darkness except what i just looked up on imdb , and i haven\u2019t seen mad max , but neither of them is an adaptation or remake of seven samurai , the earliest of these films and the direct precursor to the magnificent seven , an authorized but lesser remake . there\u2019s extensive commentary on both films elsewhere on this site .\nmore than 60 years later , seven samurai has not aged a bit thanks to a powerful narrative and a unique set of characters that are worth all the special effects in the world . under the spell of kurosawa , the audience is placed at the center of the strenuous battle made of relentless attacks from the bandits and anxious peace moments waiting for the next offensive . with his first samurai movie , kurosawa subtly captures the essence of the way of the samurai through the unfaltering earnestness of the seven ronins , ready to give their life to fullfill their mission .\nthere was a magnificent sequel , and now a remake , but samurai \u2018s influence is cosmic . it defined a narrative structure : the misfit badasses on a mission of mercy . it\u2019s the dirty dozen and guns of navarone , armageddon and guardians of the galaxy . zack snyder has described next year\u2019s justice league as a seven samurai riff . back in 2013 , snyder was rumored to be working on a seven samurai - influenced star wars spinoff .

even that they should be killed . but then his rage turns toward his stunned comrades . kikuchiyo leaves , huffs at katsushiro , and later rejects the advances of a flock of children as well .\nthere\u2019s an old chinese curse that runs , \u201cmay you live in interesting times . \u201d and sixteenth - century japan was certainly an interesting time from a dramatic point of view\u2014which is undoubtedly why akira kurosawa chose it as seven samurai \u2019s \u2026\nwhatever the film\u2019s possible social and political interpretations , on the surface seven samurai has three very distinct groups : the samurai , the farmers and the bandits . yet , on closer inspection these group lines become blurred . the bandits and the samurai are , after all , both masterless samurai , products of a tumultuous era , and therefore \u201cof the identical social group , driven by the same condition to opposite choices\u201d , as mellen puts it in waves at genji\u2019s door ( 91 ) . in the two groups , we witness a situation similar to the one that forms the basis of stray dog , where identical circumstances have led characters to two very differing outcomes , with some individuals choosing to blame their environment , ignore morals and go down the road to lawlessness , while others like the noble samurai in seven samurai remain strong and honourable , albeit no less suffering .\n: subverted . the samurai are enraged when they discover that the villagers whom they are defending have in the past sometimes killed samurai escaping from battles and stripped them of their armor and weapons . as the other samurai begin muttering about how they ' d like to slaughter the entire village , kikuchiyo\nthe original six samurai monsters debuted in strike of neos and depended on having another\nsix samurai\non the field to activate their effects . they also all shared the effect of\nif this card would be destroyed you can destroy another\nsix samurai\nmonster you control instead\n.\nbut these values are increasingly hard to come by , even in the world depicted in the film . as mellen points out , as the story progresses , \u201cthe samurai begin to fade from importance in the structure of the film . \u201d for , while the peasants can acquire battle skills from the samurai , the samurai remain unable to integrate themselves into the peasant society . \u201ctheir class is truly obsolete and they must disappear . \u201d ( waves 98 ) in mellen\u2019s views , as well as in the view of many others , seven samurai is ultimately a mournful lament about the death of the samurai class and its codes of conduct .\nwe only see the bandits at the beginning and at the end of the film . none of them is a darth vader despite george lucas ' latter - day attempts to cite seven samurai as an influence for his puerile star wars saga .\nseven samurai is the highest reviewed movie at rotten tomatoes with the highest number of votes that is listed as an action / adventure film on the site . it is also ranked number two on rotten tomatoes ' top 100 foreign films list .\nsome films get better after repeated viewings . akira kurosawa ' s 1954 black - and - white drama seven samurai / shichinin no samurai is one of them . it fully deserved winning that year ' s silver lion at the venice film festival , as well as its academy award nominations for best art direction - set decoration ( black and white ) and best costume design ( black and white ) . additionally , seven samurai deservedly became an international sensation and it ' s reported to have been the highest - grossing japanese film of its day . [ warning : spoilers ahead . ]\nfor this week\u2019s film , i decided to watch seven samurai , edited and directed by akira kurosawa . this film follows the journey of samurai warriors who agree to help local farmers against bandits . this film used several interesting editing techniques to create an entertaining movie , including establishing shots , transition wipes , eyeline matches , and continuity of action .\nin fact , although seven samurai is probably the most popular of kurosawa\u2019s films , views on how it ranks in the director\u2019s oeuvre have been varying . at one end of the scale , we have no\u00ebl burch who has once called seven samurai nothing more than the finest of kurosawa\u2019s minor jigaigeki ( quoted in mellen , 63 - 64 ) . stephen prince ranks it higher , labelling seven samurai \u201cone of [ kurosawa\u2019s ] most richly textured philosophical works\u201d ( 204 ) . meanwhile , stuart galbraith calls it kurosawa\u2019s best film ( 174 ) , while donald richie goes a step further and insists that it is not only kurosawa\u2019s best film , but also possibly the best made in japan , and among the best made by anyone anywhere ."]}

linear sequences , an increased use of montage and close - ups , isolating elements in the sound editing , the use of original score at times instead of just songs , etc . there\u2019s a sense of being less strictly observational , even though some observational elements like the use of long take street shooting remain , and allowing ourselves to get into the feelings of the characters in terms of the filmmaking itself .\nby using ironically contrasting music / sound to accompany their imagery , documentary filmmakers such as davis and jarecki have ensured that their films became a more participatory , and thereby memorable , experience for their audiences . the film musicologist holly rogers has commented , \u201cnarrative in film ( with music that contradicts an image ) is constructed ( or rather completed ) by the audience . filling in the gaps and contradictions with referential knowledge of the sounds / music external to the filmic imagery , the viewer reconstructs the myths ( and events ) through an act of ( participatory ) self - narration . \u201d [ 12 ] we as audience members , when confronted by a gaping dissonance , whether in film sound / imagery , or actual news / political reports , have an instinct to seek resolution , often through the momentary realization of the absurd and ridiculously transient nature of life itself . documentary and other filmmakers who used attention -

( i happen to live in the very neighbourhood where tramps is set and can tell you that the the in - the - open illegal gambling scene here is quite prevalent . ) danny\u2019s older brother calls from a jail in atlantic city . he\u2019ll only be there for one night , but he needs danny to do him a favour : pick up a briefcase , leave it for someone on a train platform and make $ 3 , 000 .\none of netflix\u2019s press releases offered some extraordinary news : two original netflix productions , noah baumbach\u2019s \u201cthe meyerowitz stories\u201d ( also starring sandler ) and bong joon - ho\u2019s \u201cokja , \u201d will both be premi\u00e8ring in competition at the cannes film festival next month . as ehrlich reports , france\u2019s official movie - theatre trade group has criticized the selection , arguing that an online release would \u201ccall into question their nature as a cinematographic work . \u201d in other words , they\u2019re not even movies .\nstill , the story of lion is pretty incredible , and it features a final reunion that , i think , would soften even the hardest of hearts . the film is shot beautifully by greig fraser , working in a kind of poetic realism . and it\u2019s got a host of strong performances . young sunny pawar , who plays saroo as a boy , is adorable , which , yes , may be a strange thing to say about a performance in a movie with such heavy subject matter , but what can you do . he\u2019s a cute little kid , and he instantly wins our sympathy and concern . adult saroo is played by dev patel , who works in a more somber tone than we\u2019re used to seeing from him . saroo is torn between homes , between lives , and patel effectively communicates that tension . but , again , the same beats get played over and over again . eventually you just want the film to hurry up and get saroo back to india .\nthis year\u2019s jury members are : david dinerstein ( producer ) , mike repsch ( breaking glass pictures ) , ariane rocchi ( magnolia pictures ) , steve chagollan ( variety ) for features ; james cromwell ( actor ) , sir nigel daly ( producer / director ) , michael howell ( e . d . devour festival / chef ) for documentaries ; leslie vanderpool ( e / d . bahamas international film festival ) and lucy walker ( academy award - nominated director ) for short films . .\nleon\u2019s a knowledgable cineaste who draws from the right stuff with the shrewd hand of a young new wave director : \u201ctramps\u201d has the setting of rossellini - esque neorealism and a classic hitchcockian twist ; the romantic centerpiece hails from the screwball comedy era . at its center , polish - american new yorker danny ( british actor callum turner , his accent well - modified for the part ) leads a hand - to - mouth existence with his mother and troublemaking older sibling darren ( michal vondel ) . when darren lands in jail for the night after another one of his random antics , he uses his one phone call to put his brother on the spot : danny\u2019s tasked with handing off a briefcase full of cash at a random manhattan subway stop .\nwith april ( and hopefully , spring ) around the corner , netflix is gearing up for the hotly anticipated release of casting jonbenet , the latest documentary about the more than 20 - year - old unsolved murder of 6 - year - old jonbenet ramsey . as previously revealed , casting jonbenet , which first premiered at the sundance film festival earlier this year , will be a \u201chybrid\u201d that looks at the murder and myths that have affected the \u201cattitudes and behavior of successive generations of local parents and children . \u201d\n\u2022 opening night reception \u2013 siff is thrilled and honored to begin the film festival libations at the backlot tent in the middle of the historic sonoma plaza . attending filmmakers , festival sponsors and pass holders will be treated to the epicurean delights of the girl & the fig , caf\u00e9 la haye , the swiss hotel , della santina , harvest moon and touch\u00e9 mobile chefs , as well as bubbles by gloria ferrer , still wine from madrone , lake sonoma , clos du bois , buena vista winery , corner 103 and petroni winery .\nlike \u201cgimme the loot , \u201d \u201ctramps\u201d concerns two young people in new york city , getting into an odyssey well over their heads and placing themselves into some mischief . this time it\u2019s callum turner \u2019s danny and grace van patten \u2019s elle , as their meet - cute is a simple , profitable and possible crime . pick up a suitcase , make an exchange , get paid later . danny is doing it to help out his recently incarcerated brother , and we soon find out that elle is doing it to start her unsatisfactory life anew . as strangers to one another , neither know what is in the suitcase . still , the stakes of a payday causes enough nervous energy for the both of them , especially when danny leaves the bag at the wrong spot , and the wrong person takes it .\nthis is exactly the type of movie allen makes in between his good ones \u2013 a goodhearted but lower - class kid on the run with an enchanting girl . if only there were some crafty dialogue and a splash of wit , these fine two actors would have had what they needed to put the love story over the top . a craftsman such as allen can take a story that may seem a little creaky but still write specifics that result in something like caf\u00e9 society or irrational man . tramps is one of the thinnest exercises i\u2019ve seen in quite some time . and for every enjoyable moment there\u2019s a cringeworthy \u201cdeep glance\u201d , such as when danny suggests that children owning pets is good training for the horrors of life to come . not an unusual sentiment , but this is essentially blurted out with little provocation and lands with a thud .\nafter the film , leon , turner , van patten and birbiglia all came out for a q & a . ; leon said that as he and co - writer jamund washington were working on the story ,\nwe wanted to make a movie that captures the feeling of falling in love at the movies . so whatever the best of that is for you , it could be ' when harry met sally , ' it could be ' his girl friday , ' whatever that feeling is , but to do it in a way that maybe you hadn ' t seen it before .\nthe toronto international film festival kicks off this week , and with it , the rest of a very busy fall festival season . in preparation for the canadian festival , we\u2019ll be rolling out a series of previews to point you in the direction of all the movies you have to see ( or at least , all the movies you have to start anticipating right now ) . first up , we\u2019re looking at all the up - and - coming talents who just might break through at this year\u2019s festival . keep your eyes peeled , this batch just might end up being the brightest one yet ."]}

shots inexplicably punctuate the film for about three seconds , any shot that could have some impact it robbed by the editing which feels frenetic and messy .\nindigenous detective jay swan arrives in the frontier mining town of \u201cgoldstone\u201d on a missing persons enquiry . what seems like a simple \u201clight duties\u201d investigation soon opens into a web of crime and corruption implicating the local mayor , mining boss and aboriginal land council .\ngoldstone is a sequel to mystery road , and one of the reasons why i even watched mystery road in a first place . i mean , i was planing to watch mystery road , eventually . but i really liked the trailer for goldstone and wanted to watch it soon then later , and since it was a sequel to mystery road , i naturally watched that one first . although , with the exception of the main character and similar tone , these two movies are not really connected in any other way . well . . . same as mystery road , goldstone is another atmospheric and dirty australian noir - western thriller about the people from dry and desolate australian outback , place where the time has stopped . this time , indigenous detective jay swan arrives\u2026\nas well as being able to watch goldstone , starring aaron pedersen as indigenous detective jay swan , which was largely filmed around the tiny town of middleton , west of winton , audiences were treated to the gladstone - filmed rugby league movie , broke .\nmovies highlighting corrupt mining practices and rugby league players tossed on the scrap heap \u2013 both talking points in australian society today \u2013 played to rapturous audiences at the third annual vision splendid film festival at winton on the weekend .\nthere were plenty of people on hand to celebrate the opening night of the vision splendid film festival , including vivienne johnson , trevor love , festival director mark melrose , member for mount isa rob katter and daisy hatfield .\nlocal mp rob katter was also present on the opening night , saying winton\u2019s welcoming ways were a large part of the reason the film industry was attracted to the region and contributing to the success of the fledgling festival .\nfaults and all , goldstone dramatises some unpalatable themes with power and clarity , and seems likely to be remembered as one of the key australian films of its era . perhaps swan ' s next adventure should take the form of a tv miniseries along the lines of jane campion ' s top of the lake ( which goldstone resembles in some respects , and not just because both co - star wenham ) . this would allow sen to use an ensemble cast to its full potential and explore his themes in a more detailed , less diagrammatic way .\nivan sen\u2019s 2013 feature mystery road introduced jay swan , an aboriginal detective investigating the murder of an aboriginal girl found with her throat slit on the side of a highway . returning to his hometown after a stint in the city , swan was side - eyed by the locals and patronized by his white colleagues , but still managed to clean house . the director returns to that time - honored set - up in goldstone , opening this year\u2019s sydney film festival , though his hero is barely recognizable .\nby the end of the weekend , attendance numbers at winton\u2019s vision splendid third annual film festival were 35 per cent up on last year\u2019s figures , confirming for organisers and backers that they were building a well - recognised brand .\nin the series to date there are constant references to wild dogs on the fringes of the town in mystery road and goldstone . where the dogs added another layer to the enigma of mystery road , it feels as if pedersen\u2019s jay has become the embodiment of that wild dog .\npedersen\u2019s swan is impossibly good . it\u2019s almost hard to even reconcile how we are looking at the same character from mystery road because he is so different in the opening stanzas of the film . once you get a sense of what has happened between mystery road and goldstone you begin to fathom his actions as misguided coping mechanisms . it\u2019s a sensation , it\u2019s heartbreaking , it\u2019s subtle , it\u2019s engrossing . you\u2019re hanging on every gesture , on every word , on every movement , and sen\u2019s lens is a sponge .\nindeed , goldstone the town makes dungatar , in last year ' s the dressmaker , look like an attractive holiday destination . it ' s hardly a town at all , just a collection of demountables and shacks , filmed by sen in wide shots that emphasise their isolation in the landscape .\ntwo - time oscar nominated actress jacki weaver has joined the cast of \u201c goldstone , \u201d an australian outback thriller that shoots later this month . the picture is a follow up to 2013 picture \u201cmystery road , \u201d that opened the sydney festival and played at the toronto festival the same year .\nivan sen\u2019s goldstone is impossible to shake . from the first minute , the amazing , blaring score ( composed by sen \u2013 damned impressive overachiever that he is ) comes at you with images layered across the screen from the 1800s australian gold rush era . the pictures , filled with the hardened faces of those extracting \u201cthe colour\u201d from the earth , are evidence of post - colonial exploitation . aboriginals \u201ccivilised\u201d in western clothing ; chinese migrants being used as cheap labour . the red dirt blankets the foundations of modern australian civilisation : gold , exploitation and invasion . goldstone is the battleground for australia\u2019s soul .\nivan sen shoots goldstone exquisitely . the epic landscape that dwarfs you ; you can\u2019t help but feel like there is an eternity between locations ; like the cars are just insects stirring up these dirt corridors . he shoots so meticulously , emphasising the scope and isolation , and at no point in this desolate wasteland do you feel like it\u2019s not alive . every frame is just rippling with something and you can\u2019t help but feel like the dust has settled over the past . stirring up that dust is uncovering not only the seedy underbelly of what is actually happening in goldstone but what is happening in contemporary australia .\nswan visits goldstone to track down the whereabouts of a missing young chinese woman . in the first scene he is behind the wheel and pissed as a fart . the horse swan rides into town on is the back of a divvy van , after being apprehended by young local cop josh ( alex russell ) .\ngoldstone opens with a series of 19th century photographs from rural australia which show the tripartite racial structure of the time . one of those racial groups is chinese ( in magnificent cultural dress replete with hair in single plaid to the waist ) so they were likely taken during the goldrush . ivan sen moves his camera over and into the photos , bringing them to life with extra dimension as we see the faces of its white miners and blackfella lackies , their aboriginal children dressed uncomfortably in victorian vestments whilst asian faces look out from the shopfronts and doorways of their laundries and boarding houses . it ' s a haunting prefiguration of the three cultural forces at play as goldstone settles into its contemporary setting . \u2026\ntwo - time oscar nominated actress jacki weaver has joined the cast of \u201cgoldstone , \u201d an australian outback thriller that shoots later this month . the picture is a follow up to 2013 picture \u201cmystery road , \u201d that opened the sydney festival and played at the toronto festival the same year . it is again directed by ivan sen , and produced [ \u2026 ]\npeople change but the system remains more or less the same , sen seems to be saying . but in that \u201cless\u201d there is something special , even sacred : the bit in life that says there\u2019s something worth fighting for . what a lot to think about ; what a hell of a film .\nsen\u2019s cinematography ( in addition to writing and directing his films he also shoots , edits , scores and sometimes produces them ) avoids the kind of orange - baked , hot , gluggy glaze popularised after 1971\u2019s wake in fright . goldstone\u2019s colour grading is sharp and crisp , its visual makeup \u2013 replete with seamlessly integrated aerial drone footage \u2013 grandiose , but wired in small details .\nour family doesn ' t go to the movies until we go online and check out your assessment of a given film . i think this is the best christian media review website that i ' ve found , and i recommend it to my family and friends . keep up the good work !\nthere ' s deep social commentary in goldstone . mainly , focusing on the treatment of the aboriginal people . greed and the desire for power at all cost are other themes , too . i love how jay is an aboriginal policeman . you know , a black man in a white man ' s world . we also have a white cop , and his moral code is put\u2026\nthe story twines together the themes of exploitation versus care , of corruption versus honesty and of the past versus the present . indeed , the film begins with a montage of archival black and white photos from goldfields in the 19th century , featuring aborigines , asians and whites , to frame the story within the reach of the past .\nspot on . not since \u201cwake in fright\u201d has a film so powerfully captured a key part of the underbelly of the australian psyche and combined it with such a strong sense of place . . pedersen\u2019s return to his \u201ccountry\u201d is a brilliant counterpoint to the outback oz culture depicted . all this and a well told great yarn as well !\non second watch the flaws stand out more - editing that never lets a shot breathe and the , i don ' t know how to say it , the inaccessibility of the lead ? can ' t imagine what it ' s like without having seen the first film and got a sense of the man . maybe it works better ?\nafter an effective sequence comprising sepier snapshots depicting the early life of the mining pioneer , the film hones in on the isolation of the setting : an evocative canvass of pink , ochre , taupe and dune . there is nothing romantic or ethereal however , in the way josh ( alex russell ) , the young local cop pursues the speeding vehicle with its intoxicated driver , detective jay swan ( pedersen ) . this is the film ' s central relationship in which two flawed individuals struggle to find themselves . josh is sinking deeper and deeper into the corruption of big business in the goldmines , while jay becomes drawn to finding a connection with his aboriginal roots and his spiritual side .\ni agree totally . saw it at the sydney film festival and it was my favourite . beautifully written , shot and directed . exciting , funny , always compelling and ultimately incredibly moving . and extraordinary acting all round . weaver is fabulous and pedersen is a revelation ( i doubt we will see better performances anywhere this year ) but the whole cast is wonderful .\nas swan moves up the local chain of command , such as it is , he\u2019s met with a wall of indifference , derision and outright hostility . the boss of the furnace creek metals group mining company ( david wenham ) offers him a morning beer but little information , while goldstone \u2019s mayor , the relentlessly cheerful yet ominously brittle maureen ( jacki weaver ) bakes him an apple pie but warns him in no uncertain terms to lay off the meddling .\nthe film will receive a $ 530 , 000 ( us $ 407 , 000 ) of direct support from screen quensland , which expects to see a $ 2 . 15 million ( us $ 1 . 65 million ) of \u2018queensland production expenditure\u2019 from the filming process . it also received direct funding of a $ 1 . 17 million through the screen australia indigenous unit .\ncomprising five panels on two consecutive evenings , and including a photography exhibition and film screening , this symposium is an attempt to explore and elaborate on the possibility that , as anthropologist lisa stevenson puts it , what gives images their distinctive power is their capacity to \u201cexpress without formulating\u201d \u2013 their tendency , in other words , to \u201c drag the world along with them . \u201d\nthanks for the great job you do in posting movie and television reviews online . i\u2019m a college freshman and i recently had a confrontational disagreement with my english professor regarding an r - rated film . it is her favorite movie and she wanted to show it in class . i went to your web site to research the film\u2019s content . although i had not seen the movie myself , i was able to make an educated argument against it based on the concerns you outlined . the prof said that she was impressed by my stand and decided to poll the whole class and give us a choice . we overwhelmingly voted to watch a g - rated movie instead ! i\u2019ve learned that i can trust your site and i will be using it a lot in the future . \u201d\nas in david milch\u2019s deadwood , sen uses the mining industry as the petri - dish of western civilisation in the tiny ( and fictional ) goldstone . miners being squeezed to work ungodly hours and industry ( booze and prostitution ) spawning in their wake . that prostitution is human trafficking of chinese migrants , who are required to pay for their passage to australia by servicing the miners . pei - pei cheng\u2019s mrs . lao plays the stone - faced madam and instrument of fear for the mining company .\nin la rose meets herbie , who she entices to represent the act and be their official manager . she flirts with him and dangles the prospect of a romantic engagement between them both , ( \u201csmall world\u201d ) . herbie works hard with the girls and creates a new act , getting boys into it and setting up \u201cbaby june and her newsboys\u201d . whilst june is the focus of the act , louise is left at the back and is a lot shyer than her sister . the act enjoys some success , but as time goes on vaudeville begins to wane and the girls get older , but the act stays the same . life on the road is becoming tough , and rose has the girls living in hotel rooms alongside the boys from the act . herbie brings mr goldstone of the orpheum circuit to meet rose , and she works hard to secure a contract with him , ( \u201chave an eggroll mr goldstone\u201d ) . louise is feeling forgotten , and sits alone on her birthday with her pet lamb ( \u201clittle lamb\u201d ) .\nthen there\u2019s the ranch , where chinese girls flown in via the mine are forced into prostitution to pay off debts . sen opens the film with colonial images of early chinese settlers , and the widening of the pic\u2019s gaze to include the dehumanization of chinese as well as indigenous characters makes its indictment of leadership all the starker . josh has had a \u201cf\u2014ing bypass ,\nspits swan , \u201clike the whole f\u2014ing country . \u201d\ngreat follow - up to mystery road . this is a solid austrailian western / neo - noir film . interesting characters , beautiful cinematography , and some tight action scenes . without giving anything away , there is a great shootout , that is filmed in a very realistic manner . bullets and shells penetrate aluminum siding and vehicles like you would expect in a real gunfight . this added such an enjoyable degree of tension . highly recommended .\nthis superior sequel to mystery road brings back the laconic aboriginal police detective hero jay swan ( aaron pedersen ) , this time investigating a disappearance in a remote queensland mining town . pedersen ' s performance in the earlier film was stone - faced to a fault , but life hasn ' t been kind to swan over the last few years : his hair has lengthened , his once neatly - trimmed beard is ragged and greying at the edges .\nit ' s a setting australians will recognise from the movies if not from direct experience \u2013 and like the dressmaker , the film is so packed with familiar faces it becomes an echo chamber , as if sen were holding a dialogue with many precursors at once . jacki weaver essentially reprises her crime matriarch role in animal kingdom as the town mayor , who wears bright red lipstick , bakes apple pies and delivers thinly - veiled threats with a motherly simper .\nas the stakes inevitably increase and jay and josh\u2019s frenemy relationship leads to a degree of collaboration \u2013 the former goading the latter for allowing awful things to happen on his watch \u2013 sen dishes out action with unerring patience . by the time a car chase scene arrives , it has the weight of an already great film behind it . there\u2019s a shoot - out too , but every shot matters and every bullet counts ; your body can almost register the impact .\nas unruly , headstrong cops go , jay swan ( aaron pedersen ) is up there with the best of them , but he ' s no dirty harry . hard drinking harry , maybe , sloshed when we meet him as he drives towards goldstone and his destiny , pulled over by the young smalltown cop , josh ( alex russell ) and put on the wire bed in the lock up to sober up . pedersen ' s unkempt hair , bleary eyes and speechless stupor belie his steadfast determination to clear up the case of missing mei . as we would hope . . .\nit doesn ' t take long for swan to sniff out various scandals that eventually seem like facets of the one problem : the trafficking of asian women , a deal being rushed through to expand the mine , the smuggling of grog into a supposedly dry community . though the villains are obvious from the start , the film is not about pinning the blame on individuals but about sketching a diagram \u2013 realistic in outline if not in its pulpy details \u2013 that tells us something about australian society as a whole .\ni found this sequel superior to the first , mystery road , but i ' m not really sure why . . . perhaps i liked the development of the additional law man in the isolated , outback town with a dark secret turning goldstone into a quasi buddy - movie about two men unsure whether or not they can trust the other in their world of deceit . i ' m not overly familiar with either of the two male stars but jackie weaver co - stars as another wicked women . . . a role she mastered in her ( first ) oscar -

like , even shooting the pictures and composing the score . a touch of robert rodriguez , perhaps , down to the flinty stories of outback struggles for heroism . but sen ( or is it ivan zen ) also injects a crucial element of aboriginal cultural in a way that expands the texture of the story and imbues the film with its spiritual incense , much aided by a minimalist ( and with minimal but memorable screen time ) david gulpilil as jimmy the elder .\nwhen first seen here , jay swan is a mess . gone is the trim , alert , well - groomed lawman of the first film , with his flashy firearm and ominously clonking cowboy boots . in his place is a puffy , straggly - haired , unfocused and thong - shod drunk driver who is promptly pulled over and cited by local cop josh waters ( alex russell ) as he approaches the frontier mining outpost of the title ( a fleeting reference to his dead daughter , who was very much alive in \u201cmystery road , \u201d suggests a probable cause of his dissolution ) .\nonce again the town is run by crooks . they\u2019re even broader here than in the earlier film , emboldened by their isolation and the obeisance of the callow josh . as the mayor , jacki weaver trots out the coquettish menace for which she was so garlanded in animal kingdom , though the bug eyes are starting to pall . david wenham\u2019s mine foreman is hardly less mustache - twirling . both are in cahoots with tommy ( the chant of jimmie blacksmith \u2019s tom e . lewis ) , who presides over the aboriginal land council , where he\u2019s well greased to keep the local elders in check .\nthis jay swan is very different from the self - controlled detective of mystery road . he is now a scruffy vagrant , arrested for drunk driving in the first scenes of the film . holed up in a two - bit outpost in the middle of nowhere , he is looking , it soon becomes apparent , for a chinese migrant woman who has disappeared . things start to get interesting when he has a series of encounters with the locals : the young , sharply turned - out town cop , the head of a mining company , and the town ' s brassy mayor . swan stirs things up as he digs deeper into his investigation , uncovering an unsavoury mess of nepotism and crime .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\ngo behind the scenes of the mission : impossible movies , check out the latest videos and trailers , and see which spy movies topped the box office in our mission : impossible guide .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\naustralian auteur ivan sen ' s new feature is a complex and stylish outback noir that reflects on australia ' s history with a compelling tale of its present .\njay visits the tree and finds the small comb and then drives off to the mountain in the distance . the shadow of the tree has moved through an angle of around 40 -

gulched cronies , australian cinema was languishing , or just about to : it produced on average just two features a year from 1952 to 1966 .\nin his own drunk - as - a skunk way , weeping pathos from his pores thanks to another exemplary performance from star aaron pedersen , the protagonist \u2013 detective jay swan \u2013 is like clint eastwood\u2019s man with no name , riding into town to upset the status quo .\nauthorities who run the titular out - woop - woop place , including the mayor , maureen ( jacki weaver , again in frozen - smile stink - eye mode ) , have some kind of racket going on . exactly what it involves will be revealed in time . suffice to say the last thing they want is a brave outsider upsetting their ecosystem of corruption .\naaron pedersen , \u2018weeping pathos from his pores\u2019 , and jacki weaver in \u2018frozen - smile stink - eye mode\u2019 , as jay and maureen . photograph : transmission films\nin vintage noir fashion , it all begins with a girl . and like virtually any western , it is \u2013 save for a couple of prickly supporting characters \u2013 a male - oriented affair . sen paints a picture of a viciously sexist society where women , in particular sex workers , are stripped of their rights and their identities , and traded like commodities .\nwhen maureen visits josh at the pub , wielding a freshly baked cake , you can tell by the serpentine hiss in weaver\u2019s voice that he ought to pay attention . a new mine - expansion project is under way , she explains , and it\u2019s worth serious bucks \u2013 hundreds of millions of dollars . there\u2019s a slight complication though : it requires \u201cblackfella approval\u201d .\nswan is the recipient of numerous lines like \u201ckeep your head down\u201d and \u201cdon\u2019t rock the boat\u201d , which you just know is going to have the opposite effect .\nsen\u2019s environmental messages arrive at a time when coal seam gas exploration is a key election issue ; meanwhile , corruption allegations involving mining companies and land councils make it clear the story cannot be brushed aside as mere fiction .\nopening images of sepia - toned photographs from the gold rush are crucial . the social and political commentaries underpinning sen\u2019s story paint a picture of a nation that has always , since settlement , prioritised money over land , and has never understood \u2013 as midnight oil might have put it ( before its lead singer became part of the problem ) \u2013 something as precious as a hole in the ground .\nwhen josh suggests to jay there is no point rebelling , because when the dust settles the dirt of corruption will remain , jay takes solace in his belief that at least the dirt will be a little thinner .\n\u00a9 2018 guardian news and media limited or its affiliated companies . all rights reserved .\naaron pedersen , alex russell , jacki weaver , cheng pei -

button issues of aboriginal relations ( sen is himself of mixed indigenous / european heritage ) , human trafficking , the human greed behind corporate corruption and cultural destruction .\nit isn\u2019t long before everyone in what passes for a town knows he\u2019s arrived and is looking for a chinese woman who has gone missing . a visit to the local aboriginal community leads jay to the fenced - off border of the furnace creek gold mine , where he finds evidence of asian women being flown in and out of the compound . after swan\u2019s trailer at the forlorn diggers rest motel is shot up by a mysterious group of bikers , josh moves swann to a remote cabin . the visitor believes the local is on the take , and they argue .\nthe head of the local aboriginal land council , tommy ( tom e . lewis ) , is clearly corrupt and is thus of no help at all . only local elder jimmy ( indigenous icon david gulpilil , most recently seen in \u201ccharlie\u2019s country\u201d ) is sympathetic to swan\u2019s cause , taking him on a magical canoe trip to a deep gorge where ancient rock art begins a kind of spiritual awakening for the detective .\nmeanwhile , outraged at jay\u2019s accusations of corruption , josh begins an investigation of his own , visiting the local brothel where the madam , mrs . lao ( martial arts queen cheng pei - pei ) , reluctantly displays the women working there . these include may ( michelle lim davidson ) , who is chafing to leave but must learn to trust josh \u2014 and he her .\nwhen a local hermit gives jay the missing girl\u2019s passport , it triggers a chain of events that leads to swan and josh storming furnace creek in a breathtaking shootout that rights many of the wrongs while handily eclipsing the climactic gun battle in \u201cmystery road . \u201d\nthere are western tropes aplenty on display , but swan\u2019s determination and demeanour here is also reminiscent of raymond chandler\u2019s pdescription of his iconic gumshoe creation philip marlowe : \u201cdown these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean , who is neither tarnished nor afraid . he is the hero ; he is everything\u2026\u201d\nsen wrote the role specifically for pedersen , who in turn modelled much of the character\u2019s mannerisms on his director . the supporting performances are uniformly strong , with all the actors locked tightly into their genre functions ; weaver\u2019s slightly deranged take on mayor maureen provides both spice and a dollop of macabre humor .\nproduction : ( australia ) a transmission films ( in australia ) release of a screen australia , screen queensland , arclight films , transmission films , dark matter presentation of a dark matter , bunya production .

nosed mine overseer , with sun - baked skin and wire - rimmed glasses that ( intentionally or not ) make him look like jimmie blacksmith director fred schepisi .\nwhile sen has grown more comfortable with the mystery - thriller format , the plot logistics aren ' t managed as efficiently . swan periodically recedes from view , as josh ( alex russell ) , the straight - arrow local cop , undertakes a mostly separate inquiry of his own . the ending depends on a crisis of conscience on the part of one of the supporting characters , not linked in any direct way to swan ' s arrival .\nsen remains a highly rhetorical director , prone to cut to a sudden aerial shot in the middle of a scene or frame a quasi - romantic encounter all in close - ups . frankly , he does himself no favours continuing to serve as his own editor ( or worse , composing his own lachrymose music ) . but he has moments of genuine stylistic audacity : the shifts between drastically dissimilar spaces have an almost science - fiction quality , as when swan sneaks onto the mine site or steps into a van that operates as a one - woman brothel .\njacki weaver is a machiavellian mayor and david wenham a hard - nosed mine overseer .\nin any case , there aren ' t many australian filmmakers whose future work i ' m keener to see .\nmichelle lim davidson ( utopia ) plays may , who works at outback brothel called the ranch .\nget the latest arts and entertainment news , reviews and exclusive offers by signing up free with daily review . you ' ll join over 180 , 000 monthly readers and unlock great features including ;\nyour privacy is important to us . by registering , you agree to daily review ' s\njay arrives in this town looking for an asian girl , who was reported missing via hotline by maria ( ursula yovich ) . seconds into his time on the mission , on the outskirts of town , you get a sense immediately that something has drawn him to this place beyond the case .\nthe supporting cast do a great job of rising to pedersen\u2019s performance . jacki weaver is back to her calculating , manipulative best . weaver , just as she did in animal kingdom , has an ability to capture you in her gaze and make the amoral sound trivial . she\u2019s a great female character groomed by greed of the area\u2019s power brokers . david gulpilil\u2019s performance presence is immeasurable . he\u2019s like the living spirit of australian indigenous actors . the moment he encounters jay , it triggers a haunting recognition . david wenham seems intent on taking unassuming looking characters \u2014 johnny is doppelg\u00e4nger for my 3rd grade teacher in this case \u2014 and making them callous slime -

( lacy atkins / associated press )\nbut given that women\u2019s soccer has seen two of its attempts at developing professional leagues collapse in his lifetime , archie , age ten , could be forgiven for wondering whether hamm , chastain , and foudy ever played for anyone other than the u . s . a . like most of his fellow campers , who ranged in age from nine to fourteen , archie wasn\u2019t even alive during the hot summer weeks of 1999 that marked a breakthrough for the three women , their team , and women\u2019s soccer , as americans went to stadiums across the country and turned on their tvs in record numbers to watch the u . s . women win the world cup in unforgettable fashion .\nkljestan : back in u . s . camp , and back in the champions league\nthe chinese team has a swedish coaching staff , not norwegian . the canadian team has the former norwegian coach , pellerud .\na group of about thirty boys and girls from chelsea piers elite soccer were gathered in the middle of one of the turf fields at the field house , just off the hudson river . on the plexiglass door hung the day\u2019s schedule ; listed in between \u201c11 : 30 snack\u201d and \u201c1 p . m . lunch\u201d was \u201c12 - 1 soccer clinic with mia hamm and others . \u201d the others were brandi chastain and julie foudy , hamm\u2019s teammates on the u . s . women\u2019s national squad that won the world cup in 1999 .\nrecent performances on the international stage have made u . s . players like abby wambach , hope solo , megan rapinoe , and alex morgan household names . but for all of the star power on the national roster , there\u2019s still an awful lot of handwringing about the state of the sport in the u . s . the united states soccer federation has launched three professional leagues for women . the first two failed after three seasons each ; the third , the n . w . s . l . , is heading into its inaugural postseason this weekend . while the national team has turned in three straight gold - medal performances at the olympics , 1999 remains the last year that the u . s . won the world cup , despite a brilliant run to a final with japan in 2011 .\ndisc # 1 - - dare to dream : the story of the u . s . women ' s soccer team 1 . true believers [ 7 : 46 ] 2 . winning the world cup [ 7 : 03 ] 3 . adversity [ 11 : 22 ] 4 . going for gold [ 7 : 20 ] 5 . marketing mia [ 5 : 56 ] 6 . what if nobody came ?

round group , which includes sweden , north korea and nigeria , is perhaps the most difficult in the 16 - team field . the united states opens against north korea in chengdu on tuesday .\nfor someone who , as a fourth grader , wrote and rewrote her fan letter to mia hamm until it was absolutely perfect , it was like watching michael jordan field a question about what position he played . together , the trio that stood in front of the campers have played in over seven hundred games for the u . s . women\u2019s soccer team , earning two gold medals , five concacaf gold cups , and one world cup in the process ; until earlier this summer , hamm had scored more international goals than any other player , male or female .\nsoccer is really never far from brandi chastain\u2019s mind , but reached at home in california earlier this week , chastain\u2019s concern was \u201corganizing a baby - sitter\u201d for her young son , jaden .\nbrandi was right on with her comment about chemistry and defenders don\u2019t train with the forwards . need we say more based on what we seen in the match against prk in the opener ? us midfielders were nowhere to be found and shannon boxx was a pale shadow of herself compared to the last world cup . us midfielders lack an enforcer and need to stamp their authority to give a chance to their forwards to shoot on goal . lily did well to feed the ball to strike mate wambach to score the opener and the us equalizer was due to a bad clearance by the prk .\n\u201cour success spurred a lot of countries to start to focus on their programs , \u201d said hamm . \u201cwe had so many players who came and played in the first league saying , my federation saw \u201899 , and all of a sudden they were saying why don\u2019t we have women\u2019s programs , why aren\u2019t we funding them\u2014the englands , the frances\u2014\u201d\n\u201cover all , more teams are more athletic , faster , stronger , \u201d said chastain , who worked as a studio commenter for espn during the 2011 tournament . \u201cto see a team like japan\u2014a team that was always really technically good , but now they can play over the whole field\u2014that\u2019s been great , and good for our team because it shows that a team that can play over distance and space can also play small , too . so i think there\u2019s a lot that the teams are learning from one another . \u201d\nstill , the three seem confident of their place in history , not just as a notable performance but also as a seminal moment for women\u2019s sports . \u201cour biggest fear looking back is that this would be a one -

it was maybe almost ten years from the time i pitched it to the time it was done . and now it\u0092s 25 years later . i\u0092m glad i stuck to my guns , or you wouldn\u0092t be talking to me . miracle

' ' zulu dawn , ' ' which was made in 1979 , is another sweeping battle film , one that ' s less exciting but certainly more even - handed .\nalthough being a prequel concerning events that happened just before ' zulu ' , ' zulu dawn ' is a completely different picture . whilst ' zulu ' dealt with heroic acts ( in an almost hopeless situation ) , ' zulu dawn ' focuses on the pomp of the british empire and ill -

ray . 22nd january 1964 \u2013 on the 85th anniversary of the battle of rorke\u2019s drift during the anglo - zulu war in south africa , the theatrical release of a new historical war drama made an indelible mark on british cinematic history . cy endfield \u2019s ( the mysterious island , zulu dawn ) dramatic military re - enactment ; zulu , depicted the ultimate david and goliath tale of a relatively small garrison of 139 british and colonial soldiers stalwartly defending their mission station against an army of 4 , 500 zulu warriors . eleven of the surviving men were subsequently awarded a victoria cross for outstanding bravery on the battle field . to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this classic screen giant , along with the 135th anniversary of the troop\u2019s victory , the next generation can now enjoy a brand new collectible anniversary edition of this bafta\u00ae nominated movie juggernaut ,\nthis dramatic and true story recounts the breathtaking defeat of british forces at the hands of a 24 , 000 strong and relentlessly determined zulu army in 1879 .\nit also suffered from being compared to the much more enjoyable zulu . that film was a tour de force . . . this more a grande farce .\nzulu\nis the film which has introduced many to the subject of the anglo - zulu war with viewers all over the world enjoying the spectacle and brilliant colours shown in the film . it is based loosely on the real events , and despite not having the now obligitory american actor , has become a classic .\n' ' zulu dawn , ' ' at the thalia , does its best to present both sides of the story . it chronicles a battle that took place jan . 22 , 1879 , at the mountain of isandhlwana , in south africa . there , british troops under the command of gen . lord chelmsford , played by peter o ' toole , with only a faint echo of his imperious ' ' lawrence of arabia ' ' glamour , instigate a disastrous battle against 30 , 000 zulu warriors . though the british troops are armed with rifles against the zulus ' spears , the british are massacred anyway .\nthe zulu cause is sympathetically represented , especially when a british messenger orders the zulu chief , cetshwayo ( simon sabela ) , to change a few tribal customs . cetshwayo replies that he doesn ' t try to tell queen victoria what to do . the british take this as a declaration of war , and the fighting begins .\nan impressive recreation of the events leading up to and of the battle of isandlwana . the cast quality was first class , but the film jumped about from british to zulu camps and back again to much , and some more footage of the zulu rulers and their decisions would have been nice . as it is the film gave a fairly balanced account of both sides . the actual battle scenes were very impressive but given the area at isandlwana were not as tightly shot as in zulu nor as good , and thus the same atmosphere just wasn ' t there , with scenes jumping around , and you could not relate to the individual characters as much as in zulu , as they were on and off screen to quickly . the zulu charge though was frightening , and you felt for the soldiers who had to meet it . in short , not as good as the original , and with some mistakes in the british weapons and some equipment , but a very good introduction to zulu if you were to see both movies back to back .\nbought used , arrived on time and in the condition advertised . my teen kids have taken a liking to the old hollywood ' epics ' ever since i told them the numbers of human actors / extras that were used in the big scenes - it came as a surprise to them it wasn ' t cgi - so they watch the large scenes in awe . not as good as zulu , but well worth watching alongside zulu , zulu dawn is a classic epic movie . i ' m not overly bothered about buying dvd rather than the higher resolution bluray due to the age of the movie . . . . we have more dvd players than bluray payers and the lower dvd cost , plus all the extras ( no pun intended ) that the special edition dvds have , often make the dvds a better choice for us .\nwhat an excellent depiction of the blundering that can be made by pompous generals - it ' s a wonder england held the empire for so long ! if you watch this on video the editing is less than perfect - the subtitles get lost so you can ' t read them properly . if you want a good night of it , rent this one and then watch zulu . the second film shows what happens at the second battle that occurred very shortly after the massacre in zulu dawn . peter o ' toole is magnificent and the commanding officer that doesn ' t know how to fight the zulu and won ' t take advice from those that do . the scene where the quartermaster is making the runners line up for ammunition in the thick of the fight made my skin crawl . imagine being armed with a single shot rifle that has to be loaded each time , being short on ammo , and seeing thousands of angry spear throwing zulu ' s charging at you . great film - 8 / 10\ns one final volley but some of the zulu bodies are right up to the soldiers . how did those zulus get right up to the british line without being hit earlier ?\nthis wednesday marks a double anniversary . on 22 january 1879 , at a remote mission station in natal , south africa , barely more than 100 british soldiers held off wave after wave of attacks by some 4 , 000 zulu warriors . the battle of rorke\u2019s drift lasted 10 hours , from late afternoon till just before dawn the following morning . by the end of the fighting , 15 soldiers lay dead , with another two mortally wounded . surrounding the camp were the bodies of 350 zulus .\ndouglas hickox , who also directed a screen version of ' ' entertaining mr . sloan , ' ' makes ' ' zulu dawn ' ' picturesque and proper , if a little dull . for all the mayhem in the movie , there isn ' t much emotion , even when the fighters are dropping like flies . but the scenery , the top - flight cast and the thousands of african extras make this an eye - catching film even if it isn ' t a particulary dramatic one .\nsheldon hall is a senior lecturer in stage and screen studies at sheffield hallam university . an expanded second edition of his book \u2018zulu : with some guts behind it \u2013 the making of the epic movie\u2019 will be published later in the year by tomahawk press . for advance orders and inquiries , visit urltoken or email sales @ urltoken , with \u2018zulu\u2019 in the subject box\nkimono zulu , a creative exploration led by tina zulu will host \u201cfloating world , \u201d a one -

creation of an epic battle that took place 100 years ago , when 25 , 000 zulu warriors attacked and massacred a british column at isandhlawana , inflicting on the british the worst defeat a modern army has ever suffered at the hands of men without guns .\nzulu dawn is the story of the battle of isandhlawana , which took place in zululand , in south africa , on january 22 , 1879 . a british force of 5 , 000 europeans and 8 , 200 natives , led by general lord chelmsford invaded zululand . cetshwayo , the zulu king , had a force of 40 , 000 men . one of chelmsford ' s columns , encamped near isandhlawana en route to the royal kraal at ulundi , was attacked by a force of 25 , 000 zulus around 11 : 30 a . m . , and by 1 : 30 p . m . the battle was over . the british lost 806 europeans and 471 natives ; the number of zulus who died is not known .\nchelmsford ' s optimism couldn ' t be more mistaken , and his own actions are largely to blame . one of his most wrongheaded decisions - even a journalist observing the campaign advises against it - is to break a basic rule of battle and prematurely split his forces , sending his most powerful units toward the zulu capital , ulundi , because he believes a false report that the zulu regiments , called impis , have their main staging area there . this overextends the supply line for ammunition , making bullets increasingly scarce , and thins the british ranks that must face the actual zulu attack when it occurs .\nafter the unveiling ceremony , there was a reception at the civic centre in bromley , where food and wine was served . the film ' zulu ' was also shown in one of the reception rooms .\ni don\u2019t immediately recognize dawn richard when i first spot her guiding a van through a gate to load - in for her performance at pitchfork music festival . dazed by the creamy white and disco diamante of her stage costume , i didn\u2019t immediately realize who i was looking at , but it was impossible not to know that i had just seen someone famous .\nwe waited a long time for the prequel to\nzulu\n, so eventually we got\nzulu dawn\n. it depicts the battle of isandhlwana between the british and the zulus . it turned out to be one of the great disasters the british ever experienced . the zulus in this film are accurately depicted as highly disciplined soldiers , and in some ways shows them in a more human way than\nzulu\n. historically , it is reasonably accurate - at the time it was filmed . by that i mean , recent scholarship has showed that the assumed reasons for the british problems were really not the case . it wasn ' t that there were difficulties with ammunition , it was that the rifles were used so much they began to misfire , plus atmospheric conditions degraded visibility contributing to british disaster . but a fine , entertaining movie filmed on a much bigger scale than\nsulu\nwas . if you can find it , see it . burt lancaster was especially good in his role .\nthe history of the zulu wars ( hd , 26 min ) \u2014 historian and author ian knight provides a contextual background on this historical battle with interesting information on its commencement and the fighting techniques of both sides .\nthe webley mk vi is carried by british officers and ncos . like the earlier film , zulu , the webley mk vi stands in for the earlier webley and adams models which were either standard issue or privately purchased .\n. set in 1879 , this film depicts the catastrophic battle of isandhlwana , which remains the worst defeat of the british army by natives - - the british contingent was outnumbered 16 - to - 1 by the zulu tribesmen .\nlike all films , zulu is of its time and captures the mood of its time more profoundly than is often realised . a conservative view would see it as a hymn to gung - ho heroism , to flag - waving patriotism and the glory days of the british empire . in fact , by 1964 the sun was already setting on the empire and undoubtedly zulu stirred a lot of nostalgia for it . for some , that explains its appeal .\na prequel to the 1964 war classic , ' zulu dawn ' portrays the events which led to that historical battle between the british and the zulus with mostly entertaining results . with a fantastic cast leading the charge , the film has a good deal worth admiring and makes a nice companion piece to the original , but it ' s doesn ' t quite match the stature and greatness of its predecessor . the blu - ray arrives with a mostly average audio and video presentation , yet it shows potential if given the proper restoration and remaster . supplements are very light but entertaining nonetheless , making the overall package a respectable purchase for fans .\nprequel to zulu dominated by another monumental battle scene . as a canadian and loyal british subject to her majesty the queen , it angered me the zulus didn ' t allow the brits to at least save their flag in this battle .\nzulu dawn direction : douglas hickox . screenplay : anthony storey , cy endfield . cinematography : ousama rawi . second - unit direction : david tomblin , peter macdonald . editing : malcolm cooke . music : elmer bernstein . production : nate john , james faulkner ; executive producer : barrie saint clair . the players : burt lancaster , peter o\u2019toole , simon ward , john mills , denholm elliott , michael jayston , nigel davenport , anna calder - marshall , peter vaughan , ronald pickup , simon sabela , christopher cazenove , david bradley , ken gampu , freddie jones , ronald lacey , james faulkner , bob hoskins , paul copley , phil daniels .\nall three were committed to progressive causes , but their motives in making zulu were not political . it is not an anti - imperial diatribe any more than it is a celebration of colonial conquest . its main purpose was frankly commercial , but baker also saw the story as an chance to pay tribute to his welsh homeland . this certainly explains the strong emphasis on the welshness of the private soldiers \u2013 one of the many fictionalised elements of zulu that have created a myth around the battle .\nchelmsford accepted reports that the main zulu force was towards ulundi and took half of his force in that direction . reports from fannin ( the disreputable english settler ) were not to be accepted as gospel seeing as he appeared appeared to be an habitual liar .\nunfold in natal , a province of british south africa where the british used conflict between indigenous zulus and land - grabbing boers as an excuse to begin the anglo - zulu war , designed to weaken the zulus ' military and economic capabilities . two of the british aristocrats who run natal from their cape colony headquarters , lord chelmsford and sir henry bartle frere , send a message to the zulu leader cetshwayo commanding him to disband his army and dissolve his empire . cetshwayo ' s rejection of the demand gives bartle frere cover to invade zululand with troops led by chelmsford , who foresees a resounding victory .\nwell , gentlemen ,\nhe smugly says to his officers when the first zulu falls ,\nfirst blood to us , and a rousing good report in the newspapers to satisfy the politicians , eh ?\nin several shots ( most notable when the zulus first come into view of the camp ) it ' s obvious that many of the zulu warriors are carrying fake shields : instead of cowhide , the shields are obviously just painted on some sort of a plate , probably plywood .\na modern awareness of racial representation means that zulu has undoubtedly \u201cdated\u201d . if the film were to be remade today , as internet rumours continually suggest , it would certainly be done differently . but the absence of individuated black characters doesn\u2019t make it racist . though told from the british point of view , it shows that viewpoint change from dismissive contempt and naked fear to respect and even admiration . the famous ( and entirely fictional ) salute the departing zulu army pays to the garrison survivors is returned with their \u2013 and our \u2013 gaze of awe and wonder .\ncolonel pulleine ( denholm elliott ) carries a webley pryse as his service weapon . this weapon was commonly privately purchased by officers during this period . mr . fannin ( don leonard ) , the boer merchant who is chased by zulu warriors , also appears to have this model pistol .\nalthough not as poignant or penetrating as its predecessor , ' zulu dawn ' does offer several incisive moments on imperial rule , seeming tyrannical and despotically harsh , and the sheer stupidity of arrogance . as the title cleverly and somewhat romantically implies , the film is a prequel to the original , depicting the events that led to a massive confrontation between the two nations and demonstrated to the world that a great power must eventually fall , usually by the most unexpected enemy . revisiting it again after many years , and with very recent history in mind , it ' s fascinating to watch and hear military action justified as a preemptive measure , largely due to fear and racial prejudice . as the plot unfolds , painting the invading british army in a negative light becomes a bit too apparent .\nthis film is by far , less renowned that its closely linked film of zulu . although this film was filmed over 10 years after zulu , it is in fact a prequel , as that battle of islandawana , took place prior to rorkes drift , i find this film to be more gripping with its tense drama and action . also it is historically far more correct in its depiction of the battle . my only critism , and it is a petty one ! , is that the costume designers are correct in the way that they got the british infantry soldiers wearing\ntea dyied\npithe helmets without there regimental badges , as to camouflage themselves and not stand out as bright shining targets as in zulu , however the same soldiers are seen constantly using short cavalary carbines and not the correct henry martini rifle ! overall though a much forgotten and very good film\nunfortunately , many of these positives feel somewhat lost and go slightly unnoticed amid an attempt to give each of the characters equal weight in the first act , slowing everything down almost to the point of boredom . it ' s not difficult to quickly learn that these soldiers are about to face a devastating defeat , especially since the previous film begins at the site of this embarrassing loss to the british empire . tensions don ' t really begin to seriously mount until about halfway into the runtime , leaving the final encounter , as entertaining and spectacular as it is , to feel a bit rushed and indecipherably chaotic . in the end , ' zulu dawn ' has its moments and its strengths outnumber its negligible drawbacks , making it a good companion piece to cy endfield ' s 1964 war classic .\nin the film , the zulus shout ' why do you come to the land of the zulu ? ' the answer by melvill was ' we come here by the orders of the great queen victoria ' , not ' by the orders of the great white queen ' as it was in reality .\nalhough caine has sometimes claimed that reviewers gave him a hard time , in fact almost every mention of him in press notices was favourable . zulu brought him the attention which led to multi - film contracts and to top billing in his very next picture as harry palmer in the ipcress file ( 1965 ) .\nfor the opening sequence depicting a mass zulu wedding , 600 additional background artists were brought in , including nightclub performers from johannesburg , to play the principal dancers . during breaks in filming , they twisted and jived to modern pop records played over tannoys , with director cy endfield among the crew members joining them .\nspeaks articulately to issues of the twentieth century , as when bartle frere anticipates the phraseology of nazi genocide by referring to\nthe final solution of the zulu problem ,\nand to issues of our own century , showing how the torture and humiliation of prisoners can rebound on the people who inflict it . all told ,\nin the latest edition of the dusty vhs corner , tom jolliffe looks at the films of anthony hickox \u2026 director anthony hickox comes from a strong cinematic lineage . his father , douglas hickox was also a director ( zulu dawn , theatre of blood ) whilst his mother is critically lauded editor anne v . coates ( lawrence of arabia ) . a career in the film industry seemed destined , even if his start would require a lot of persistence and a lot of luck . his debut film waxwork almost didn\u2019t see the light of day . hickox met the producer , staffan ahrenherg when he crashed his car into the back of ahrenberg\u2019s . with barely a penny to his name , hickox managed to persuade ahrenberg to let him pay for the damage by letting him write a script for him on the cheap . ahrenberg agreed , and waxwork was written by hickox in three days . the script was rejected from almost every studio ,\non the january 22nd 1879 the british army suffered one of its worst defeats when zulu forces massacred 1 , 500 of its troops at isandlhwana . a short time after the main battle a zulu force numbering in excess of 4000 warriors advanced on a british hospital and supply dump guarded by 139 welsh infantrymen . the film concentrates on this bloody 12 hour battle during which the british force , under their commander from the royal engineers who happened to be in the area building a bridge and happened to be senior to the infantry officer , won 11 victoria crosses . while taking some liberties with history the film follows reality fairly closely , including matching exactly the identities of the vc winners .\nq : at the climax of the film simon wards character lt . william vereker had his horse shot from under him and becomes trapped , when he sees the flag being taken by the zulus he aims then shoots the flag from the zulu , did this shot take place at the real battle ? , and did lt . william vereker survive ?\npuzzled by his failure to find zulus preparing their charge , chelmsford makes the situation even worse by setting up camp near mount isandlwana but neglecting to circle the wagons and dig trenches for his troops . before long the zulus launch a full - scale assault on the main camp , helped by information from a couple of prisoners who escape their british captors , make their way to the zulu command , and report what they ' ve overheard . british weaponry is modern and spectacular , but it can ' t overcome the sheer numbers , ferocity , and tenacity of the zulu army , which emerges victorious after fighting that grows steadily more desperate on the british side and steadily more vicious on both sides .\ncontrary to stories the zulus were not paid with gifts of cattle or wristwatches but received wages in rand . the main corps was paid the equivalent of nine shillings per day each , additional extras eight shillings , and the female dancers slightly less again . associate producer basil keys remarked : \u201cthere is no equality of pay for women in the zulu nation ! \u201d\nthe only reason for buying this ( and also the dvd of\nzulu\n) was because i am going on a visit to the battlefields of kwazulu natal and i wanted a little help understanding the history and was told these films would be of interest as a part of my research . whilst the movies are very old fashioned in the way they are filmed they nevertheless do tell the story in an interesting way and i did find them to be useful in developing my understanding of the time when used alongside the context of genuine history accounts . although this was the second movie to be made you should watch this one prior to viewing\nzulu\nas this film is about the first battle to be fought .\ni have avoided buying a copy of zulu dawn up until now because the dvd ' s available have either been of poor quality or lacking its correct aspect ratio . then recently , i noticed an advert for a new region 1 offer , boasting a 2 : 35 : 1 scope picture but also with a remastered , high definition picture . i took a chance despite never having heard of its production company , severin . well , i wish i hadn ' t , the picture is far from perfect . it is much darker than the version shown on british television and despite its boast of being remastered , it is often blurred , with facial features reduced to a blank mash if seen from a reasonable distance . clearly , the master they have used was a poor print otherwise it would have the fine definition and print as seen on our televisions . it will have to do for now , until the definitive version is finally released , but don ' t expect perfection from severin ' s disappointing version .\nas a long - time fan of the original\nzulu\ni ' m always surprised this film hasn ' t got the same reputation . true the story isn ' t as ' tight ' as the sixties classic ( more scene - setting , more characters to deal with ) but the production values are excellent , the photography beautiful and the climactic battle scenes brilliantly staged .\nthe incident at fugitives ' drift in the film is artistic licence . there is a killing scene in the sand with vereker shooting the red coated zulu who then lets the colours fall into the buffalo river . in reality , melvill was helped by lt . higginson at the coffin rock . coghill , who had escaped separately returned to help , having his horse shot from under him .\nthis makes for a remarkable tale of courage and tenacity , on both sides of the perimeter . but historically the battle was a minor incident which had little influence on the course of the anglo - zulu war . it might have remained a footnote in the history books or an anecdote told at regimental dinners had it not been for a film which dramatised the story and has kept it in the public mind ever since .\njust as the soldiers were played by real soldiers \u2013 eighty national servicemen borrowed from the south african national defence force \u2013 so were most of the zulus real zulus . a mere 240 zulu extras were employed for the battle scenes , bussed in from their tribal homes over 100 miles away . around 1 , 000 additional tribesmen were filmed by the second unit in zululand , but most of these scenes hit the cutting - room floor .\na historical accurate film that requires close attention to details like most english movies . the film should be seen with\nshaka zulu ,\nzulu and\nrhodes .\nin this way you get a better picture of what was going on in south africa during that era . this is a war movie commentary showing not all wars are heroic and victorious all of the time . as in many wars , many mistakes are made and watching them is worth the viewing . the acting is superb and when you come to know the true history of the exploitation of the continent , you will understand why colonialism was a racist concept built on manipulation , and costing the lives of good decent and honest common men and women for the benefit of the very few rich and powerful . in the end , was it worth it is the question to be answered ? watch all four films and then you decide !\nthe principal artists responsible for zulu were hardly establishment figures . screenwriter john prebble was a former communist party member who had volunteered to fight in the spanish civil war . his co - writer , the american director cy endfield , had fled hollywood in the early 1950s after he was named as a communist during the mccarthyite witch - hunts . endfield\u2019s production partner and the film\u2019s main star was stanley baker , a life - long supporter of the labour party .\nthe exhibition on view at the gallery is \u201corder from chaos\u201d by houston - based french artist emilie duval . it features mixed media artwork and large - scale paintings that explore digital technology , architecture and \u201ccontemporary baroque - ness\u201d . the kimono zulu event title of the \u201cfloating world\u201d ( ukiyo ) refers to the edo period in tokyo ( 17th - 19th centuries ) , where kabuki theater and colorful woodblock prints , along with overtones of extravagance , amusement and style were prevalent . these reimagined pieces of wearable art in the form of kimonos stem from this world of wonder and wit . \u201cthis collaboration represents a crossroads of history , culture and art in the gallery , explains gallery owner cindy lisica , who also holds a phd in art history with a focus on japan . \u201cduval\u2019s artwork considers material , economy , fashion and excess , so the event with kimono zulu is an exciting fusion of art and fashion , aesthetics and concept . \u201d\ntwo lieutenants , chard of engineers and bromhead find that their 140 man contingent in natal has been isolated by the destruction of the main british army column and that 4 , 000 zulu warriors will descend on them in hours . each has a different military background in tactics and they are immediatly in conflict on how to prepare for the attack . nearly a third of the men are in the infirmary , as the welsh company tries to somehow survive with no help in sight . based on a true story . < / p >\npremiered 85 years to the day after the event it commemorates , the film zulu is 50 years\u2019 old this week . on its initial release , in 1964 , it was one of the biggest box - office hits of all time in the home market . for the next 12 years it remained in constant cinema circulation before making its first appearance on television . it has since become a bank holiday television perennial , and remains beloved by the british public . but the story behind the film\u2019s making is as unusual as the one that it tells .\ni won ' t go through the details of the movie , as that has been adequately covered in previous reviews . i found this movie very\nhollywood ,\nwith little substance . it cannot hold a candle to the earlier\nzulu .\na side note , from an earlier review :\nthe main cause for the british disaster is fairly clear in the movie , and that ' s the method of giving out bullets . peter vaughan gives a crafty performance as the quarrelsome quartermaster who demands that each bullet be accounted for at the head office . the niggardly way the bullets were dispersed to the men , who were holding the zulu back until they ran out of ammunition on the front lines while crates of bullets were held back in the wagons , was the primary cause of the disaster .\nthat may be the\ntheatrical\nreason for the defeat . however , later research has shown that the martini - enfield will seize in relatively short order due to the heat generated by rapid firing . the\nheld back\nammunition theory , and the\nun - openable cartridge crate\ntheory were both debunked after extensive digging at the site .\nthe events leading up to and culminating with the 1879 battle of ishandlwana are depicted very well in this exciting film . although made some 15 years after the 1964 flim\nzulu\n, this film is actually the\nprequel\nto the other and should be viewed first in order for a better understanding of these two events in the british invasion of zululand . the cast contains too many splendid actors and performances to single any out . some historical errors do creep in but , on the whole , the film conveys the look and feel of the real thing . very much worth the price of admission .\nin 1879 south africa , the administrators of the british cape colony have designs to eliminate the zulus as a hindrance to their colonial economy . to that end , the british present king cetshwayo with an impossible ultimatum to provoke a war they are sure they can win easily with their rifles and artillery against native spears . however , that war proves more difficult than the arrogant british commander , lord chelmsford , expects as his overburdened army fruitlessly searches for the elusive enemy . however , in the shadow of a hill called isandlwana , the overconfident british army learns to its sorrow just how badly they have underestimated the tactical skill and might of the zulu nation .\nthe small but key role of king cetshwayo was given to his direct descendant , the present - day prince mangosuthu buthelezi . the wedding dance was choreographed by buthelezi\u2019s mother , a tribal historian , and supervised by stuntman simon sabela , who later became south africa\u2019s first black film director . in july last year , accepting an award named after sabela , buthelezi dedicated it to \u201cthat epic production , which became a milestone event , not only in cinematic history , but within the zulu nation . \u201d he recalled that the cast \u201cfound themselves re - enacting the deeds of their own grandfathers . somehow this drew the audience into what was , in the end , a very human experience . \u201d\nspent 3 nights from 20th sept 2014 with titan tours . two local tours were arranged via the hotel using their staff to visit mkuze game reserve & lake jozini boat cruise / local culture . the second was optional on our tour but both were worthwhile experiences within the area .

i think the charge scene is a bit overrated - - check it against the charge scene in the 1968 gb version - - you can hear the horses scream ! that ought to be enough reality for anyone ! i won ' t watch it again . errol flynn was the perfect robin hood - - that is the film i remember him for .\nthe battlefield set was lined with trip wires to trip the cavalry horses . dozens were killed during filming , forcing u . s . congress to ensure the safety of animals in motion pictures . the aspca banned trip wires from films as well . unlike the rest of flynn ' s blockbuster films , because of the use of trip wires and the number of horses killed in the film ,\nthe charge of the light brigade\nwas never re - released by warner brothers .\ncrew : ( b & w ) available on vhs , dvd . extract of a review from 1936 . running time : 116 min .\nunfortunately , the movie is probably best - known for the death of many animals . the admittedly impressive scene of the charge of the light brigade had such an effect because of the liberal use of tripwires , which caused the death of a disturbing number of horses . in fact , so many horses died that congress passed a law requiring the studios to ensure the safety of animals in their films , which led to the now - familiar notice at the end of films stating that no animals were harmed in the making of this film .\nthe swashbuckler captain blood ( 1935 ) had jump - started the careers of errol flynn , olivia de haviland and director michael curtiz . the charge of light brigade reunited them a year later , but sad to say , the movie lacks the same spark . set during the crimean war ( 1853 - 1856 ) , the movie also incorporates a fictionalized version of the indian rebellion of 1857 .\ndespite the movie\u2019s happy ending , the real battle was a russian victory . the attack was due to a misunderstanding of an order delivered verbally , which caused the light brigade to attack the wrong part of the russian lines . moreover , the charge did not result in a victory , just a waste of men\u2019s lives . shocked by the heavy losses , the british did not launch another attack . there is little excuse for the inaccurate portrayal , since lord raglan , overall commander of the british forces , lord lucan , commander of the british cavalry , and lord cardigan , commander of the light brigade , all survived the battle , and engaged in a lengthy and public debate over who was to blame , but the script presents a more gallant explanation of the doomed charge .\nmeanwhile , england is pouring men into the crimea to oppose the russian hordes . aware that surat khan had found refuge in russia , the british troops from india thirst for the opportunity to avenge their comrades and kill the treacherous swine . frustrated that the allied command will not risk a direct attack on the russian artillery at balaclava , even though surat khan is there , vickers deliberately alters the order , sending the light brigade to attack the russian artillery . the light brigade charges and the massacre is finally avenged .\nthe film ' s opening credits include a statement acknowledging the technical advice of captain e . rochfort - john , formerly of the royal engineers . the film played with historical fact , linking the charge to the fall of sebastopol , which occurred in 1855 , rather than at the climax of the crimean war . warner bros .

well the charge happened but much of the story is just a story . we need stories like this . it is about good destroying evil . the bad guys are bad and deserve what they get . yes evil is black and good is white . it is clear that this film is from a time when heroes were not darker than their nemesis . the cast has some of the best stars ever to appear on camera . the acting is good acting and the charge is executed by a direct who was a former cavalry officer if i am not mistaken . it is a master piece in acting and directing . this is one of flynn ' s eight classic films and has nothing that would cause viewers to shade the eyes of anyone in the family . it does require us to ask what has happened to hollywood . this is the way movies should be made again . not remakes but new stories where white males and females have problems and conflicts without requiring them to disrobe or to perform senseless violence . yes there is violence here but is it really senseless ? not at all . this film should be viewed by families . film makers who have lost any sense of movie making should be challenged to create new films , about historical events that have good defeat evil and inspire the viewers to do great things . i am not holding my breath for anything like that to ever come about . fortunately i have charge of the light brigade to enjoy for years to come .\non my list of the talented couple i would have to sandwich charge in between dodge city and captain blood . does this even make sense ?\nthe action is fast and furious , which is appropriate , since this film depicts some of the fiercest and bloodiest battles of world war ii .\nof course , being steiner , he opens the main title of charge\u2014here minus his own warners signature fanfare\u2014with his first borrowing , \u201crule britannia , \u201d rousingly scored and entirely appropriate as the signature tune of imperial great britain , the ruler of the waves , that empire upon which the sun never sets , the nineteenth - century manifestation of parasitic colonialism . there is still time in the main title for steiner\u2019s principal theme , \u201cforward the light brigade , \u201d a march more jaunty than stirring , far from imperialistic , which is varied throughout the movie .\nas the disclaimer reveals at the beginning of charge , history suffers grievously in this movie . most , if not all , of the actual historical names have been changed , and many so - called \u201creal\u201d characters are entirely made - up , most notably surat khan . there was no 27th lancers in the british army\u2014at least not until 1941 ; several lancer brigades , not to mention some hungarian light dragoons , made the actual charge . the battle of balaklava , whose date is stated incorrectly in the film ( surely easy enough to get right ! ) , did not cause the fall of sevastopol as implied .\nwhile such incidents occur only rarely on film and television sets now , two horses died during production of the 2006 movie flicka .\nscenes from this film were used in the 1983 music video\nthe trooper\nby heavy - metal band iron maiden .\nas someone who had to memorize the poem during high school , i appreciate the decision to use the poem to explain what is happening during the charge .\nduring the climactic charge , the musical score includes several samples from russian composer pyotr ilyich tchaikovsky ' s\n1812 overture\n- - written to commemorate an entirely different battle in a different war which , unlike the battle depicted in this film , russia won .\na lot of the reviews seem to focus on the issue of historical accuracy . i recognize this is a work of fiction and couldn ' t care less whether it ' s historically accurate or not , but if you create a movie called\nthe charge of the light brigade\n, you should at least be creating a fiction based largely on the subject of the crimean war . instead , a fictional connection is made to india , which becomes the scene of 3 / 4 of the movie . if you want to see a fictional movie about the british in 19th century india , with a brief epilogue involving the charge , this may be the movie for you . don ' t expect to see much of the crimea in this movie , though .\nshown their work : much of the dialogue and situations are taken directly from historical accounts . notably the exchange between cardigan , lucan and nolan just before the charge .\ndirector michael curtiz went all out in this 1936 version of\nthe charge of the light brigade\n, and considering the era , he made a darn good job of it - sure , he threw history out of the window , and created a very fictitious story , but when it came to the actual charge , it was a masterpiece of staging and direction . he was aided by that great pair - errol flynn and olivia de havilland ( lovely as usual ! ) who kept the interest all the way through . the supporting cast was really star - studded , with donald crisp , henry stephenson , nigel bruce and spring byington , and in a very early role in his career , david niven . if you had to pinpoint a weak link , it was patric knowles as flynn ' s brother . but all that aside , it is a couple of hours of excitement and sheer entertainment while waiting for the charge and what is going to happen to the nasty surat khan ! ! the remakes since , while having the benefits of far greater technical tools , falls way short of this epic .\norganized at new orleans , la . , november 6 , 1862 . attached to independent command , dept . of the gulf , to january , 1863 . defenses of new orleans to may , 1863 . cavalry , 19th army corps , dept . of the gulf , to july , 1863 . defenses of new orleans to october , 1863 . unattached cavalry , 13th army corps , dept . of the gulf , to june , 1864 . cavalry brigade , united states forces , texas , to july , 1864 . district of morganza , la . , dept . of the gulf , to august , 1864 . cavalry brigade , 19th corps , dept . of the gulf , to november , 1864 . 2nd separate cavalry brigade , 19th corps , dept . of the gulf , to december , 1864 . separate cavalry brigade , reserve corps , dept . of the gulf , to february , 1865 . cavalry brigade , district of baton rouge , la . , to july , 1865 . dept . of texas to november , 1865 .\noh , and there\u2019s a disclaimer at the end that all scenes involving animals were supervised by the american humane association . we\u2019re used to seeing this now , but it was fairly new in the \u201940s . after several horses were killed during the making of charge of the light brigade ( 1936 ) and jesse james ( 1939 ) , there were numerous audience protests , which led to supervision by american humane of most hollywood films involving animal performers . this said , i\u2019d really like to see behind the scenes for the amazing sequence in which penny and jody hunt a bear , and their dogs attack it over and over . i guess the bear was just hugging the dogs before it tossed them safely away , but it looked pretty damned real to me .\nanother great michael curtiz film including the heroics of errol flynn , romance with havilland ( although this time flynn doesn ' t keep the girl ) , great battle scenes that curtiz was well - known for , the nasty villain , and a little bit of politics thrown in to remind the audience that the main event really took place albeit the characters in the film are fictional . although the dvd is not made of same material in which others used to be done , the film has the same pristine quality for a film of this period . the only drawback that it does not play with regular dvd / blu - ray players . i could see it by connecting my tv to the laptop . enjoyable film .\nsome months ago and being befuddled by it as it was only\nvery loosely based on the famous charge\nand included much additional fiction .\nthe film was made to cash in on the success of \u201cthe lives of the bengal lancer\u201d and was the film that secured one its stars \u201csuper star\u201d status . that would be errol flynn . right from the end of the opening credits it declared that the filmmakers had not adhered to the facts of history . of course , this was not unusual in hollywood .\nlots of galloping horses , not quite enough of anything else , though the climactic charge is a heart - quickening piece of cinema . it\u2019s a shame all those horses and stuntmen died .\nmodern sources add the following information about the production : the production design was so accurate that actual postage stamps of the period were used even though they were not visible on screen , and the uniforms seen in the film were the same as those originally worn by the 27th dragoons . modern sources credit eason with direction of the charge scenes as well as other 2d unit work . alfred , lord tennyson ' s poem was the basis for a 1903 biograph film and a 1912 edison film directed by j . searle dawley and starring ben wilson and richard neill . in 1968 , director tony richardson made\nthis regiment was part of the famous black brigade which general smith at first refused to use in his charge on petersburg on june 15 , 1864 . general butler , commanding the corps , promptly ordered general smith to march on petersburg and storm her breastworks . general smith led the black phalanx in the charge , and for the courage , the heroism , the daring and skill displayed by the colored troops in that bloody fight , general smith remarked that he would lead men like those into any fight and rely upon their pluck .\ndesign ) or by the variable - density method ( the western electric solution ) . this innovation increased the volume range of the recorded page 124 material by \u201cpushing\u201d the fundamental frequency and \u201cpulling\u201d overtones and equipment noise . 15 in addition , in 1936 ,\nthe association , which supervises film , television and commercials production , is behind the\nno animals were harmed\ndisclaimer in the end credits .\nfor some reason i\u2019ve always thought of the charge of the light brigade ( not the film or the poem , just the incident ) as a comical chapter in history \u2013 probably because of the way its referred to in shaw\u2019s arms and the man . have you read it ? for some reason , the character of sergius saranoff \u2013 impossibly handsome , heroic - looking , tilting at windmills , but still becoming a hero , inspite of himself \u2013 has always seemed to me to be especially written with errol flynn in mind ! so , though i love his swashbucklers , its hard to take his onscreen tragedies completely seriously . that said , i\u2019ve never seen him die onscreen , and will look out for this one just for the novelty value !\ni saw _ charge of the light brigade _ shortly after seeing _ the patriot _ , mainly in order to compare the battlefield scenes . much could be written about the different possibilities open to the directors and the approaches taken . what interested me more , however , was the very different stance towards britain . recent american movies have been extremely prejudicial towards britain , either appropriating events in british history as american , or adopting an outright hostility . _ charge _ reflects a different era in which american viewers were apparently expect ed to be on the side of the british . i suspect the reason for this change derives from changes in american education . until roughly twenty years ago , most history departments in american colleges had two or three historians who concentrated on britain , and british history was a required subject . despite the revolutionary wars , the united states was seen in a very real sense as a\ncontinuation\nof britain . this has now changed , perhaps for the better . my point is that not only could a film like _ charge _ not be made today because of damage to the animals , but because hollywood would be incapable of seeing british history as does this film .\nlight brigade is a vicious satire of both the british class structure and military incompetence . it mixes often comic scenes of cardigan , lucan and raglan ' s ineptitude with violent battle scenes and anger at aristocratic bigotry . the movie is also noteworthy for animated sequences provided by richard williams . while the movie bombed in its original release , it ' s gained a strong critical reputation in subsequent decades .\nduring world war ii , director george stevens served as a lieutenant colonel in charge of combat photography . he filmed d - day , the battle of the bulge , the liberation of paris , and the horrors of the concentration camps .\nthis list collects every film from the starting list that became they shoot pictures don ' t they ' s 1000 greatest films . this\u2026\nwe are struggling together : given how poorly most of the british high command get along with each other , the film ' s ending is hardly surprising .\nerrol flynn lives up to the promise of previous film efforts as the youthful major who sacrifices all to avenge the slaughter of his comrades . donald crisp is strong in the character portrayal of the colonel .\ncharge is one of only two of the nine flynn / de havilland films in which he dies , the other being they died with their boots on . in his first film since captain blood , the actor is supremely more self - assured , more charming , more romantic , a better actor , though there was nothing seriously wrong with flynn\u2019s performance in that pirate movie ; his persona there seems to match the less sophisticated trappings of the film itself . in charge , his british accent fits perfectly in time and place , while nine films later , although it would seem anachronistic in the western dodge city , no one seemed to mind .\ndarryl f . zanuck ' s ( 1902\u20131979 ) the longest day initiated what has become a historical film staple of combat spectaculars . the combination of extraordinary realism in the battle scenes and exceptional attentiveness to the small dramas unfolding among the individual soldiers provided the model for many films to come , among them apocalypse now and saving private ryan . the film also set a new standard for authenticity in the historical genre , in some scenes replicating the normandy invasion so closely that stills taken from the shooting of the film"]}

have afflicted mankind \u2013 from the dawn of the man , to the present day . chronicles of war , earthquakes plagues and floods .\njust as his early performances in comedy were tempered by the serious , the dramatic , his later performances in drama were tempered by the unserious , the flippant . you can discern this in welikathara , his second dramatic outing after thun man handiya : in one scene he is a dangerous , cape fear - esque antagonist - from - the - past , and in the very next he bottles up all his rage , his motives , with calculated , witty asides ( his first encounter with swineetha weerasinghe\u2019s character geetha , on the beach and around her car , plays around with this dualism ) . even in pathiraja\u2019s bambaru avith , as the villain anton aiya , those asides temper his evilness rather incongruously ( \u201cdore ? dore nemeyi , janele ! \u201d he shouts at an errant lorry driver ) . joe had wanted to be more than a humorist ; in becoming a dramatic , unlikeable antagonist , though , he was finding it difficult to escape being that humorist . it just kept coming back .\nthe most difficult person to be is the funny man . by that i don\u2019t mean the solitary satirist , the one - man - act savant whom the american cinema took out of the vaudeville houses and popularised : chaplin , keaton , lloyd , the marx brothers . i am talking instead about the comedian as we understand him today , the sort who can work with a horde of co - stars and still retain his identity . part of the reason why chaplin appears so refreshingly - funny , even today , is his individuality , his belief in standing apart on his own . not everyone can be a chaplin , of course , but everyone can easily be or emulate the one - man - savant that he was . retaining what forms you up as a distinct personality , while keeping your audiences laughing and coming for more , is considerably difficult , not least because we have short attention spans .\nlike some of his colleagues who took to the cinema in the 1970s , somasiri dehipitiya came from a largely working class background , as a civil servant . as an actor he had quite a number of attributes he could be justifiably proud of \u2013 he was gruff , he was almost always frowning , he rarely smiled , and perhaps more than anything else , he could appear sturdy and gentle at the same time . no doubt he used all these and more , so much so that it\u2019s truly astonishing that a man of his range of talent and experience never , for one solid moment , became a leading man . he was more or less like richard widmark , the american actor who never got beyond half a dozen or so leading roles despite his gruff mould .\nbecause it\u2019s tough being the funny man , it\u2019s tough getting people to laugh convincingly . if we are extrapolate lionel abel\u2019s thesis , we can say that what is true for his conception of western tragedy ( as thriving on self - consciousness ) is true of the general conception of comedy , in both theatre and cinema . the funny man can\u2019t betray his ability to make us laugh without betraying himself , which is why comedy in general betrays the falsity of its own medium : through counterfeit , deception , moral ambiguity . it\u2019s no cause for wonderment , then , that comedy in sri lanka is , if i may be politically - incorrect here , terribly self - defeating : the men and women who try to make us grin immediately yield to their own awareness of how absurd they are .\nthese were the ultimate tragic figures of our cinema , more tragic than tony\u2019s , whose characters were all thwarted not because of outside forces , but because of personal inadequacies . in becoming the supreme comedian of his time , to be equalled somewhat by vijaya nandasiri , joe had become a supreme tragic figure . by playing around with these two opposites , rather subtly , he gradually became the funny man that we\u2019d always wanted , who could keep us transfixed to his face throughout a film .\njoe was never solitary , never alone , but at the same time he never made us interested in his own back story . towards the end of hal ashby\u2019s being there we see the protagonist ( peter sellers ) literally walking on a lake ( is he god ? jesus ? ) . throughout the story our attitude towards him is tempered by our consideration of him as an everyday , ordinary man who might have stepped out from anywhere . he keeps his benefactor happy , his daughter consoled but unfulfilled , and their family doctor suspicious . this curious blend of happiness , consolation , and mystery is what makes up joe\u2019s most recognisable performances : we don\u2019t know where he\u2019s from , only that he\u2019s there to placate the main character , and with the main character , us .\nthe reason for this , obviously , was that these men and women were all from the theatre . so was joe ( his was initiated into the cinema through the studios of sirisena wimalaweera , who was no cineaste ) , but the difference with him was that he didn\u2019t enter the movies , he downright conquered them . and the timing couldn\u2019t have been more right . gamini fonseka had materialised at a time when our heroes and villains were borrowed from bollywood ; he became the first real onscreen hero we could claim . tony ranasinghe had materialised at a time when we were getting fed up of those heroes flaunting their masculinity and making escapades from even the most inescapable dilemma ; he became our first everyman . joe , going by that , materialised when we were getting tired of heroes and villains , and ordinary people being stumped by their sense of inadequacy . we wanted to laugh , but in a different way : we wanted someone who could be both a hero and an ordinary man to tickle us into laughter .\nkadawunu poronduwa was the first film to be made in the sinhala language ; it is generally considered to have heralded the coming of sinhala cinema . it was first shown on january 21 , 1947 at the kingsley cinema in colombo , sri lanka . plot : ralahamy , a member of high status , dies leaving his family in debt after having squandered his fortune through extensive drinking and other vices . to get back into wealth , ralahamy ' s wife tackla pushes her daughter ranjani to get married to a wealthy older man victor with a child through an earlier marriage . in this process , samson , ranjani ' s boyfriend , who had tried extensively to get the family back into good graces going so far as to pay off their debts , is spurned . he then goes abroad to win a fortune . when samson returns he learns of ranjani ' s engagement to victor and tries to reach her through letter . his letters are hidden from her however , and rumours spread that samson is now a cripple . ultimately the truth is . . . more\nmahagama sekara was a legendary poet of the 20 th century in sri lanka . he was born on 7th april 1929 , in radawana , colombo , sri lanka . he was the only child of maha gamage jhon appuhami ( father ) and ranawaka arachchige rosalin ( mother ) . mahagama sekara was also known as a great sri

eddie jayamanne stood for in the theatre ( which he never moved out of , as the minerva player movies showed ) . the men and women who made us laugh before him \u2013 pearl vasudevi , d . r . nanayakkara , and of course eddie \u2013 out of necessity resorted to exaggeration , the sort that evoked not just laughter but also , to a certain extent , tedium . the result of this was that none of those actors actually broke through their limited canvas , which proved to be their greatest strength and biggest weakness . as the father in rekava , as the lascivious vidane in sikuru tharuwa , as the servant in ran salu , to give just three examples , d . r . nanayakkara could never resist being the funny simpleton .\nso the timing , as i mentioned before , couldn\u2019t have been more propitious . nanayakkara and jayamanne had taken the theatre with them to the movies . joe , on the other hand , took what he could from the theatre while shaping himself for the cinema . that\u2019s why there\u2019s no blatant attempt at exaggeration ( with none of those discernible marks that recall the comedians of the silent era : bulging eyes , dishevelled hair ) in his earliest performances , when his roles consisted of keeping his co - star from unhappiness : gamini fonseka in getawarayo , henry jayasena in dahasak sithuvili .\nbecause he had no background , and we didn\u2019t know where he came from , we were content in seeing his antics and laughing at them . towards the end of the sixties we could feel that his stints in comedy had become a prelude to other roles , more varied and diverse . the difference between saravita and punchi baba is subtle , but discernible and rather reflective of this : in the former everyone is trying to get something from him , a bulath vita seller , while in the latter he is not just the centre of drama ( as before ) , but the centre of \u2018our\u2019 attention , and hence the whole plot .\nbecause he had no background , and we didn\u2019t know where he came from , we were content in seeing his antics and laughing at them . towards the end of the sixties we could feel that his stints in comedy had become a prelude to other roles , more varied and diverse\nand partly because of this , he never let go of that sense of mystery which had lingered with him before . in desa nisa , lester james peries\u2019 attempt at moving joe into a more serious role , he salvages an otherwise jerkily - edited final sequence with his enigmatic intentions : does he want his wife cured of her blindness , or does he want her to remain as she is since she\u2019s the only woman who will never be repelled by his deformities ? we aren\u2019t really sure , particularly when he plays along to the shrewd hermit ( ravindra randeniya ) and gets him what he needs to make her see again .\nhe got us to betray our laughter , our facile view of life , without betraying himself . that and that alone explains his range , his wider canvas , his great ability\nif gamini were our first onscreen hero , then joe became our first onscreen humorist , with a caveat : he never confused the ability to make us laugh and move us to empathy with the ability to keep us aware that we were seeing him and not his performance . he got us to betray our laughter , our facile view of life , without betraying himself . that and that alone explains his range , his wider canvas , his great ability .\ncomments will be edited ( grammar , spelling and slang ) and authorized at the discretion of daily mirror online . the website also has the right not to

adding depth to modern day productions like tikiri suwanda and selvam .\njoe abeywickrama needs no introduction as an actor , as his name is assimilated in the minds of all the local movie buffs .

international film festival . here are excerpts of an interview with daily news \u2018projector\u2019 in which the versatile thespain shares his personal experiences in the sets and behind the screen over many decades .\njoe mahaththaya , as he is commonly addressed by the people in the celluloid world , quietly walked to the gate to greet and receive us . the trademark smile and the unique voice which had added credibility to this great actor\u2019s performances do not seem to let go of its grip . yet , a hint of weariness seems to reflect on his face .\nafter all , it is years since he dished an exceptional performance as the cunning gorin mudalali , his breakthrough role , in d b nihalsinghe\u2019s welikathara ( desert ) .\nat the age 12 joe got the opportunity to watch the latest english films released at the colombo regal . they were released simultaneously at imperial theatre in ratnapura , for the benefit of white men who worked in the estates as planters . thus hollywood giants like john wayn , david niven , lee marvin and marlon brando who starred in these films , became joe\u2019s heroes .\n\u201cwe used to crawl to the gallery of the cinema to watch their films\u201d , joe recalled with an impish smile .\nthere was a twinkle of the old mischief in the comic actor still running in his blood .\nthese characters influenced the young lad to brush up his innate acting skills and adapt a natural rhythm . this he portrayed to the hilt in productions like welikathara , bambaru awith , baduth ekka horu and ran muthu doowa .\n\u201cit was hard to convince the indian directors . a few actors like me and gamini tried our best to bring a natural acting style to sinhala cinema .\nat the time , an actor was required to possess girlish looks to be chosen for a main role . my profile pushed me to portray the next best role , which was comedy .\ni was determined to be an actor at any cost . therefore i tried to adapt to whatever role that came my way . it was a blessing in disguise which helped me to gain versatility\u201d , he says .\n\u201cif one can bring credibility to a comic role , he can perform any character with ease\u201d , he stressed , talking through experience .\n\u201cthere should be a perfect blend of brains , skill , flexibility and rhythm to bring a comic character to the fore . \u201d he believes that acting has to evolve with time .\n\u201can actor has to be mindful of transformations in society and the world as a whole and adjust to situations or he will perish like the dinosaurs , \u201d he said .\ni was in the danger of being confined to the comic actor category . when tissa abeysekara showed me the scrip , i knew , portraying gorin mudalali\u2019s character in the film would bring me to the next level as a versatile actor . the undying cowboy within me provided much inspiration to take up the role . \u201d\ndirector nihalsinghe had been taken by surprise when tissa suggested joe for the role . he had sought joe out and said , \u201ci was under the impression that you are grooming yourself to follow eddie jayamanna . you have taken a bold decision . the role is yours . \u201d\nwickrama randeniya , the police officer\u2019s role , was originally suppose to be played by ananda jayarathne . joe had suggested gamini fonseka\u2019s name .\n\u201ci told them that if gamini performed as my counterpart , my projection of gorin mudalali will be strengthened . they accepted my words without any hesitation . \u201d\nwork progressed smoothly . gamini and joe enjoyed the plot . tissa\u2019s script itself provided room for them to add immense value to their characters . \u201cat one point it seemed like we two did turn into inspector wickrama randeniya and gorin mudalali . when it came to shooting the final scenes which were the climax of storyline , the unexpected happened\u201d . joe\u2019s facial expressions highlighted the grim reality he was going to unveil .\ni was informed that gorin mudalali should run in the final gun battle with the police inspector merely to keep the police department and the public sensor board officials at bay . i knew it was a dubious act and resisted at first before compromising\u201d .\nin the original script , gorin mudalali dies in a face - to - face gun battle with the police battalion . it was supposed to be an \u2018eye for an eye\u2019 or a \u2018no retreat - no surrender\u2019 situation , which would have led to a very emotional ending .\n\u201ci have never taken a rigid stance in a crisis situation in my acting career . flexibility brought me this far\u201d , the exceptional artiste concluded with a note of content .\nproduced by lake house copyright \u00a9 2006 - 2013 the associated newspapers of ceylon ltd .\nhtml public\n- /

date i have watched it more than 200 times ! i ' ve watched it through vhs , then vcd , then dvd & now blu - ray ! i showed it to my children , they showed it to my grandchildren & they will show it to my great - grandchildren as well . cheriyo darling will never die ! cheriyo darling lives forever !\nthe world has never seen such a good movie ! a huge huge cheriyo darling fan here from kahatagasdigiliya .\nif cheriyo darling was never made , this is undoubtedly the best film in sri lankan history . sumana gomas plays an epic lesbian role in this film ! i have never seen such talent in sri lanka before . she surely contributed to some of the best films ever shot . raagaye unusuma surely is among them along with age vairaya series , akkai nangi & kamasutra .\nmille soya should be the best . but still i would rate cheriyo darling as the greatest , but still mille soya is good . definitely better than raigam soya , lanka soya & kimba soya .\nvishvanath buddhika keerthisena or known lovingly as boodee keerthisena among us , made a 110 minute film in 2004 which is simply incredible , depicting a dangerous and hazardous journey by a young sri lankan group to rich europe where they are subject to deceptions by the intermediaries , betrayals by friends , arrests while crossing the borders and even death . i guess this film should be at the number 2 spot behind cheriyo darling .\nit s a good movie . like to watch & good comedies in have . like kamal addarachchi in this film\nit ' s sannasgala sir ' s co - favourite film ! the other one is aksharaya . he showed us both films in class ! we love it !\nno doubt on this one ! nothing , i mean nothing can match cheriyo darling , but the question to debate would be what is the second best movie in sinhala cinema . when we try to analyze this question , the most probable competitors which comes to our minds are thani thatuwen piyabanna , mata thama mathakai & raagaye unusuma . out of those 3 , for me ttp stands out by some margin . this movie shows jangi janadari at her very best ( in my opinion , the best actress ) while gayani gisanthika , w jayasiri , nirdha uyanheywa , nilupili jayawardena , mahendra pereira , priyantha prabash , jagath chamila , sanjeevani vithanage , willson gunaratne & amarapala karasinghearachchi gives out unmatched performance for this great movie . anoma the jangi janadari all the way ! ttp rocks !\nit is indeed very rare to find all these best actresses to star in the same film . you will not get tired of all the boobies you see in film . it is well acted and my favorite roles are played here by sapna roshini and thanuja weerasuriya . mohan is also doing a great job so does rex codippili and sandow harris . mata thama mathakai surely gets my vote in this list of the greatest films in sri lanka - dorrick somasiri , kiribathgoda .\nsapna roshini , thanuja weerasooriya & vinu wettamuni all in one film ! you can ' t get better than this ! the best film after cheriyo darling .\nhorrible horrible movie ! a 12 year old boy is caught watching porn with a friend at school . then comes a prostitute to the scene . the boy meets the national museum ' s security guard ' s daughter . security guard raping the boy ' s mother who is a magistrate ! the boy & the magistrate both get into a bathtub naked ! the boy stabs his mother and she dies . . . i don ' t know what ' s the mentality of asoka handagama ? movies like this is not suitable for our buddhist country . i ' m so ashamed to born in such a perverted country full of psycho ' s & lunatics !\nit ' s sannasgala sir ' s co - favourite film ! the other one is thani thatuwen piyabanna . he showed us both films in class ! we love it !\nsaroja , written and directed by somaratne dissanayake and now screening in cinemas across sri lanka , has been widely applauded by critics and the local mass media .\nit is a good movie . crowd comes to film halls again due to this film .\nthe most horrible movie i have ever seen ! what a joke ! sajitha anthoney ( son of jackson anthoney ) is not suitable for the role of king pandukabhaya at all ! he looks like an ethopian who hasn ' t had food for a week ! he should have played the role of pandukabhaya servent or pandukabhaya servent ' s servent maybe ! it ' s ashamed that sl ' n cinema has fallen into such tragedy . . . a sad sinhala cinema admirer for 67 years here . . . : (\ni haven ' t watched the film but i have heard about the story from my mother . it sounds like a wonderful film . i really love the song . it ' s my favorite

there are corners unexplored and stones unturned . spotlights invariably focus on the usual suspects . but then there are things ignored . sacred cows kept in corners . privileges hidden under covers . this paradise is full of them . i choose to reveal them . to transcribe them . in fragments .\nhe made you think that he wasn\u2019t essential to a story when in fact he was . as a result of this perhaps , he remained a supporting player , who at most added to a point - of - view which was of another character but never really made up his own . he was there in the films of almost every director who had an impact on the cinema of this country \u2013 most noticeably perhaps , dharmasena pathiraja and vasantha obeyesekere . in the latter\u2019s films he was likeable , in the former\u2019s films he was not , and in both he showed us that one could be a side - player and at the same time create a mark for oneself .\n. the entire film is really made up of a series of coincidences , plot - twists , and d\u00e9nouements , which is why it remains obeyesekere\u2019s most conventional story . three misfits \u2013 an unemployed graduate , a pickpocket , and a criminal who\u2019s just been released from prison \u2013 meet and for some reason decide to live their lives adventuring together . vijaya kumaratunga played the graduate , wimal kumar da costa played the pickpocket , and dehipitiya played the criminal . all aptly cast , but seeing dehiptiya one can sense how he could understate his own strength and hardiness onscreen , which makes him stand apart from the other two .\nhe used his looks \u2013 wizened and quite brusque \u2013 to his advantage , and they pay well in sequences where he\u2019s expected to let out his anger but never quite does so . so in dharmasena pathiraja\u2019s\nhe\u2019s one of anton aiya\u2019s henchmen , and in the first half of the story we immediately understand his ferocity and penchant for anger . \u201ci never knew how dirty you\u2019d become , woman , \u201d he point - blank tells malini fonseka\u2019s character helen , who like her mythical namesake forms the centre of the tragedy on account of her seductiveness . when dehipitiya\u2019s character warns her , we cringe in fear , as if he\u2019s hinted only part of his anger . we expect more as the scenes progress .\nbut no : in the second half , when cyril ( played by cyril wickramage ) , who\u2019s engaged to marry helen , is killed or commits suicide ( we never really are sure what happens to him ) , he seems to back down . \u201cwhat to do , aiye ? that was god\u2019s will , \u201d he remarks to anton ( played by joe abeywickrama ) , only to get the enraged reply : \u201cgod\u2019s will my foot , yako ! \u201d by this time dehipitiya displays his true potential : as someone who played characters who flaunted their strength but always retreated when time was ripe for those to whom they played second fiddle to assert themselves . in\nhe does the opposite to let room for the main player ( only momentarily though : when dehipitiya backs down and eventually leaves him , anton is on his own , and a few sequences later , he is killed by the servant of his rival in just about the easiest way possible ) .\n, where his role as an impoverished villager to whom abilin , the protagonist ( abeywickrama ) , lends all his money is pivotal ( in a simplistic way ) in showing us the latter\u2019s generosity , when in later sequences we see the same villager ( now richer and less in need ) demanding money lent to him over a trivial matter from his own previous benefactor . and when he could and did express his outrage or anger of his own will , like in sumitra peries\u2019\n, it was almost invariably followed by tragedy ( he gets shot not long after he succumbs to anger against the village headman , played by tony ranasinghe ) .\nspelt out the dehipitiya who could have been much more , had he lived . on april 27 , 1982 he succumbed to alcoholism , leaving us with a veritable bunch of characters who spoke and did much more than what the script allowed . he was scripted in well in almost every film he was in \u2013 a feat which not many actors from here can claim \u2013 and that came out best in the latter part of his career .\nthis is me . who i am . what i write . and what i stand for . i welcome constructive debate . but

plus they are smaller and use less power .\nchip - making giant intel has taken the wraps off three new atom processors , aiming to push so - called netbook and net - top computing to new heights \u2013 using even less power . the new cpus , codenamed pinetrail by intel , integrate memory controllers and graphics processors right into the cpu for improved performance , plus the chips are some 60 percent smaller than their predecessors . the chips intended for netbooks use 20 percent less power than intel\u2019s earlier atom chips , and the versions aimed at net - tops use 50 percent less power .\nintel atom is the brand name for a line of ultra - low - voltage x86 and x86 - 64 cpus ( or microprocessors ) from intel , designed in 45 nm cmos and used mainly in netbooks , nettops , and mobile internet devices ( mids ) . on december 2009 , intel announced the next generation of atom processors , including the n450 , with total kit power consumption down 20 %\nthe new chips include the atom n450 , which rolls in 512k of l2 cache and has a total power consumption of 7 watts . the atom d410 is aimed at desktop systems with 512k of l2 cache and 12 watts of power consumption .\nthe d510 is also aimed at desktops and ramps up to 1 mb of l2 cache and 15 watts of power consumption .\nall three of the new chips run at 1 . 66 ghz , like previous atom offerings . all the new atom cpus are built on intel\u2019s 45nm manufacturing process ; the power consumption figures for the chips seem higher than previous atom cpus , but bear in mind they also include graphics and memory controllers , so the total power consumption foot print ( and heat output ) is considerably lower . although the new cpus probably won\u2019t show dramatic performance improvements over previous generations , they will be a boon to netbook fans in terms of battery life .\nthe pinetrail atom cpu\u2019s integration of graphics and memory controllers is another round of bad news for graphics developer nvidia , which had been building its ion platform as a high - performance drop - in replacement for graphics controllers on intel\u2019s earlier atom processors .\nsince the new atom cpus have graphics controllers baked into the chip itself , there\u2019s no way for system manufacturers to buy graphics - free versions of the new atom chips if they wanted to go with another graphics solution .\nintel says the new atom processors will be available to original equipment manufacturers ( oems ) in january . more than 80 netbooks and other products based on the new atom processors are already on the way from manufacturers like dell , asus , lenovo , acer and toshiba .\nexpect to see tons of products with the new generation of atom processors on parade at consumer electronics show (

( christine stoddard will write and direct the documentary ; david fuchs will produce motion graphics ; kristen rebelo will create illustrations ; d . j . granger will help with photography , etc . ) the crew behind the persistence of poe is young \u2013 mostly recent college grads of vcuarts \u2013 and based in virginia . they are eager for new opportunities in documentary film , community art , and local history . producing this film would help them achieve a dream while also giving back to greater richmond .\nthe award for best original screenplay , remarkably , went to chris sparling for\nburied\nover such presumably likelier contenders as\nthe king ' s speech ,\nthe kids are all right\nand\nanother year .\npaul is one of the hostages who is put in a coffin and buried . inside the coffin , he ' s left with a bunch of things . a lighter , a phone , some glow sticks , alcohol and a note .\nit\u2019s a gimmick that could have gotten old fast , but what truly makes the film so clever is the way that new information is constantly introduced during conroy\u2019s phone conversations that gradually raise ( and change ) the political and personal stakes of the story . adding to that tension is conroy\u2019s dwindling air supply , his decreasing cell phone power and an uninvited guest that just so happens to be buried in the coffin with him .\nwe ' ll happily list your name in the credits as\nexecutive producer .\nof course your name will also go on our website and facebook page . you ' ll also be given a front row seat at our premiere . we hope you love seeing your name on the big screen . plus you ' ll get a copy of the companion book , images of america : richmond ' s cemeteries ( arcadia publishing ) and a dvd of the finished film . that ' s not to mention an official quail bell productions t -

trick for celebrity chef vikas khanna at cannes\nthe coffin is occupied by ryan reynolds , essentially the only actor in the film and deserving of praise for holding our attention single - handedly . not everyone can do that . he plays paul conroy , a civilian contractor in iraq who was driving a supply truck when insurgents attacked and he lost consciousness . now he wakes up in a coffin - - a fairly roomy one , as coffins go , but a coffin nonetheless - - apparently buried in the ground . he has a cigarette lighter , a pen , and a cell phone with him , the latter provided by his abductors , who use it to contact him and give him their ransom instructions .\ni always saw the film as something very big , something hitchcockian ,\ncort\u00e9s said with a chuckle .\nwhen they asked me if it would be strained\nby the setting limitations ,\ni said , ' no , it will be indiana jones in a box . '\nthe movie benefits , certainly , from the surging profile of reynolds , who starred with sandra bullock in last year\u2019s romantic comedy hit \u201c the proposal \u201d and also has the title role in \u201c green lantern , \u201d the 2011 superhero film that warner bros . hopes will yield a major franchise .\nin my way of working , directing and editing are the same . when i start to think about the film , i think of the final result so i\u2019ll get the material i need to get it . so in my case , shooting and editing are two steps of the same process .\nnow , whether that ' s good or bad is a matter of opinion . i appreciate that the film takes the scenario of being buried alive and lets it play out logically , but part of me thinks the movie ( which was written by chris sparling ) might have been more satisfying if it had taken a more imaginative route - - if it had been a little less realistic , in other words . when it ' s done , you think ,\nthat ' s it ?\nbut then you think ,\nwell , but what else could have happened ?\nthis might be as good a movie as could have been made with this premise .\nrichmond ' s dead and buried seeks to unveil these stories in a feature length documentary that tours some of the city ' s most prominent and most obscure graves . interviews with historians and other scholars , as well as cemetery workers and volunteers , and ancestors of the deceased will round out this look into the past , present , and future of richmond ' s cemeteries .\nwe built seven different boxes , with seven different technical deals . one of them had collapsible walls that we could take out so the camera could describe that circle . we had a nine page shot that describes almost two circles around the actor , it was probably the most complex shot of the film .\nninety minutes of being buried alive with ryan reynolds : didn & apos ; t we all suffer that in the proposal ? look , reynolds give it his all as an american truck driver in baghdad taken hostage in a coffin to pay for our capitalist sins . but this is gimmick cinema . and it burned me that he got cellphone service in a coffin when mine fades in fresh air ."]}

'\nguess he was just going for a lil ' bit o ' spontaneity on this one - you know , trying to emulate bob dylan again . there ' s a big difference between neil and bob , though - while the latter is completely unpretentious , neil not only ' wears his heart on his sleeve ' , he tries to shove this heart right into your face in order for you to hear it going boom boom and feel the blood flowing . and i don ' t particularly enjoy the sight of blood . makes me sick . just like this album .\nthat surgery , and the brain aneurysm that prompted it , served as catalysts for young to create some of the most compelling and lyrical music of his career .\na resolutely private artist who seldom looks back , neil young has never before unfolded his career on camera . with unprecedented access to one of the world\u2019s renowned music legends , american masters presents neil young : don\u2019t be denied premiering nationally wednesday , june 10 , 2009 at 9 p . m .

boban plays a virtuous auto driver named vasoottan , who is called by everyone in the village where he lives for virtually any help , until the heroine parvathy ( gayathri suresh ) makes her appearance .\nwith a wafer thin storyline , which is a rather poor version of the yesteryear film t p balagopalan m a in certain ways , things are barely convincing . after a while , you just wish that they managed to reach the required number , so that you are relieved from this boring journey .\nin a role that is in his comfort zone , kunchacko boban looks fine . he has tried the thrissur accent , which is regarded as an easy way to glory of late , but it doesn\u2019t work well here . the debutante , gayathri suresh , shows confidence but doesn\u2019t impress much with her acting chops .\nthe scenes with suraj venjarammoodu and muthumani are fine , but as it turns out they are the best in this otherwise dull film . joy mathew repeats his signature style and neeraj madhav adds another one to his recent roles of the same pattern .\nat one instance , marooned on an islet , while escaping from the don ' s men , the protagonist is seen . . .\npk : once upon a time , in a world out there . . .\nthough it ' s a mix of naivete as well as deft handling , the boisterous bandwagon is carried forward by a line of characters leaving no much room for dejection . initially , there are certain situations which look half - baked for lack of logic to be grave enough or for losing the required comic punch . and we move along with the narration later on .\nin terms of emoting , each of the characters are equally significant , doing complete justice to the roles portrayed . kunchako boban as vasoottan and debutant gayathri suresh as parvathy have presented stunning performances . so were the character roles essayed by maniyanpilla raju , joy mathew , renji panicker , sudheer karamana , suraj venjaramoodu , muthumani , aju verghese , roja , anumol , neeraj madhav , among others .\nthe highlight of the film is the effort to bring to light the lighter elements of life . the simple ways of exchanging the ideas and the opinions on several occasions serve some marvellous slices of life . of course , the thrissur slang works wonders as in many other predecessors . in addition , the thiruvananthapuram and kozhikode accents give the film and its characters a wholesome and natural hue . few inspirational thoughts are also delivered in an unaffected manner .\nthe peppy songs coupled with brief departures to places gives the film an added impetus and a vibrancy that is outlandish . with actions and sequences that are seamlessly weaved and are placed on right spots , the brilliant camera work , well crafted background score and events that are well poised , director thomas sebastian and scenarist p . r . arun obviously pull off a wholesome entertainer if not a proverbial blockbuster .\nthe comments posted here / below / in the given space are not on behalf of

large part of its charm from the delectable thrissur dialect that lyricist bk harinarayanan employs to pen the ode to the protagonist . franco does a commendable accented rendition of gopi sunder \u2019s light - hearted tune with good support from the kids\u2019 chorus ( nice touch , that latino guitar towards the end ) . the title song too is quite likeable , despite its heard - before sound , with its pleasant , breezy tune and arrangement that features smatterings of multiple folk genres ( some nice mandolin in there ) . sachin warrier delivers finely as he always does , with maqbool . in murugappa the d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu factor is rather strong \u2013 the percussion and the repeated chants of murugappa kept taking me back to padayappa . a decent listen nevertheless , partly owing to

' : director\nfor the audaciously inventive and bold musical style in uttama villain , ghibran deserves the composer of the year tag . it is an attempt as ambitious as amit trivedi ' s bombay velvet in hindi , though the style and genres are vastly different . but there ' s another composer who deserves that tag along with ghibran and that is anirudh . he produced decent stuff in maari and vedalam , but where he hits it out of the park is in naanum rowdy dhaan - it is a mesmerizing series of superb tunes one after the other ! the other young composer who gets to rank alongside these 2 to round off the top 3 soundtrack is justin prabhakaran . he comes on his own with a nuanced and beautiful 5 - song set in oru naal koothu .\nthe young debutant of the year , leon james packs a good punch too , across two sequels - kanchana 2 and ko 2 , while the hip hop tamizha duo of adhi and jeeva produced great ear - candy in aambala . imman , who had a prolific output in 2013 , seemed a bit muted this year too , like 2014 , though he had a great album in romeo juliet . rahman and harris jayaraj had their respective highlights in o kadhal kanmani and yennai arindhaal , while last year ' s star , santhosh narayanan was content with just a middling 36 vayadhinile .\nit ' s not often a non - telugu composer gets 2 fantastic soundtracks in the same year . a r rahman perhaps did it in the beginning of his career , but malayalam composer gopi sundar pulls off this trick in 2015 . his music in bhale bhale magadivoy and malli malli idi rani roju take him right to the top of the pile , as composer of the year . . . in a year when old stars like devi sri prasad and thaman lost some of the shine , and others like sunny m . r . gathered more steam . but the composer to swoop in the 3rd spot in the top 3 soundtracks list late in the year is none other than ilayaraja , with a lively , youthful album for abbayitho ammayi !\nlast year ' s star , ghibran had just one soundtrack in telugu this year - jil , while keeravani ' s music in baahubali worked in tandem with the film ' s historic box - office potential . veteran mani sharma ' s son , saagar mahati made a decent enough debut in jaadugadu , while keeravani ' s severely under - rated brother kalyan koduri continues to show promise in films like bandipotu and hora hori .\nthe year ' s biggest blockbuster , premam , has a middling soundtrack at best , though much of its popularity was on the back of the film ' s success . it did have the delightful , released - later song , malare , though ! the top honor in the songs easily goes to prashant pillai ' s ear - worm from chandrettan evideya , vasanthamallike ! shaan rahman ( with oru vadakkan selfie and adi kapyare kootamani ) , govind menon ( with 100 days of love ) and viswajith ( with rudra simhasanam ) round off the top 10 .\nv . harikrishna dominated last year ' s rankings along with arjun janya , but in 2015 he seems to have evolved better on his own ! his soundtracks for boxer and kendasampige easily earn him the composer of the year tag , while manikanth kadri rounds off the top 3 with jaathre . arjun seems to have lost some of his sheen this year , thanks to his style getting repetitive and predictable .\nharikrishna ' s domination in the top 10 list is incredible , with 6 of the 10 songs !

( description above )\nthis image suggests what the perrys were up against , that no matter how they tried to distract , intervene or communicate with evan , he was set on a course that had nothing to do with them . though this course is briefly altered - - evan is successfully treated at a connecticut facility with lithium and therapy , develops friendships , attracts girls (\nthough ,\ndana says ,\nhe ' s never really interested in them\n) , and appears in footage smiling and joking - - boy interrupted makes the case that it is , in the end , apparently inevitable .\nthe film depicted the downward spiral of a mentally ill 15 year old boy who eventually commits suicide . unlike most illness\u2019s which are hidden away the documentary had a very open , heavily resourced production . the true peculiarity about the actual production was who directed the film , the mother .\nthe boy referred to in the title of this sobering documentary is the son of the film ' s director and its cinematographer ( hart perry ) , who suffered from a severe and intractable bipolar depression and committed suicide when he was 15 years old . his name was evan scott perry .\nlandon ' s teacher , meanwhile , has offered to let the sixth - grader keep a water bottle on his desk , even agreeing to use hand signals to quietly remind the boy to sip . but when his father gave him a bottle for the classroom , landon stashed it in his locker , untouched .\nboy interrupted is a wrenching profile of a family torn apart . dana and hart perry share the intensely personal story of every parent\u2019s worst nightmare : the death of a child by suicide . as professional filmmakers , they were accustomed to making extensive personal films and videos of the family , but never suspected that their footage of son evan \u2013 taken from the moment of his birth throughout childhood and adolescence \u2013 would end up becoming the primary source material for this moving account . casual and innocuous before his death , the home movies provide a visual record of evan\u2019s life , and help create an intimate portrait of this vibrant , troubled young man , supplemented by interviews with family , friends , doctors and teachers .\ngo on an extended date with our own cast member scott evans ! enjoy dinner and a movie with this charming and hilarious gentleman . also includes the go - go boy interrupted fan pack ( description below ) and vip invitation to the season premiere party with the entire cast . fan pack includes : digital download of season 2 , hilarious bloopers , behind the scenes covering our journey every day on set . cast interviews and director & producers commentary on each episode and sexy behind the scenes with all the go - go boys . date will be scheduled for late october / early november . winner must be in / or willing to travel to the los angeles , ca area for the date . premier will also be in in the los angeles , ca area . travel and accommodations are not included .\nin the documentary we see clips from perry\u2019s childhood , ones where he at young age of 5 displays very dark thoughts , most scary was a photo dana perry took while having a talk with evan about his thoughts about killing himself , in the photo you see a very young boy showing his mother the way he would hang himself . disturbing , utterly intense .\nthe reason that the director and i decided to do a kickstarter is because the first season , although it was a total blast , no one got paid . the few crew members who did , were paid way under their normal rate . things like paying the actors , director , and crew are essential ! not only because they ' re talented and they deserve it , but because they ' re all working in the industry , so time working on go go boy interrupted means times away from better paying jobs . the money will also go to renting locations , renting lighting and sound equipment , food for the cast and crew . also , certain jobs like editors and music composers are really costly . those two positions will be $ 17 , 000 alone . if we didn ' t pay our crew , season 2 wouldn ' t be possible .\nenrolled in a new school last year as a boy where only the staff knew otherwise , the nine - year - old passed without a hitch in his wardrobe of nike trainers and t - shirts , paired with a crew cut , boyish build , and aggressive basketball moves at recess . ( to keep his secret , the names of the boy and his parents have been changed . ) but the days when the only outward markers of gender lie in haircuts , clothes , and personality only last so long . deep inside marty ' s brain , a time bomb known as the hypothalamus waited to stage a hormone - armed mutiny . breasts would sprout . hips would widen . the uterus would shed blood on a monthly basis . marty didn ' t want any of it .\nyou will receive a go - go boy helper for the day ! we will fly one of the go - go boys to you ( anywhere in the u . s . ) to be your helper for the day ! maybe that means they will give you a car wash , mow the lawn , help you clean your house and maybe it all happens while they are wearing their booty shorts !\nyou will receive two go - go boy helpers for the day ! we will fly two of the go - go boys to you ( anywhere in the u . s . ) to be your helper for the day ! maybe that means they will give you a car wash , mow the lawn , help you clean your house and maybe it all happens while they are wearing their booty shorts !\nperry takes a long time establishing evan\u2019s personality and the good qualities that never quite defined the boy well enough . ( his illness defined him as different \u2014 and made him more depressed . ) it doesn\u2019t take very long before the viewer is aware the perrys had to make the film in order to exorcise their demons . they know logically they\u2019re not to blame , but emotional absolution is harder to achieve .\nthese people had all this personal and dark circumstances filmed during evan\u2019s life it seemed almost like they had a plan , but this is a silly thought because there is no way you can judge the actions of parents who tried very hard to get this boy help . after watching and reading more about the documentary i found out the parents created the film to help themselves heal and to find some closure .\nso when the bud appeared , his bay area parents hustled him to an appointment with an endocrinologist at children ' s hospital and research center oakland , who said the bud might progress no further and puberty could still be a few years off , his parents recall . they were temporarily relieved . marty treated the bump as a boy would \u0097 poking at it at the dinner table , feeling it through his button - down shirts . waiting .\nimplicit in boy interrupted is just how daunting - - and crucial - - issues of health - care reform are . the film is testimony to so much we do not know , but is also a revelation in depicting the effectiveness of the patience and skill involved in high - quality care where we have a fighting chance to know and better treat patients . it is not a matter of politics , but a choice of life over death and health over disease and dysfunction . we see how bipolar disorder can distort perceptions , so too does partisan politics that smears what is the right of every american . canada is not a bad word and a social democracy in which every person has equal access to quality health - care should not be a frightening proposition . we lag behind other compassionate nations in education , health - care , science , and too often refuse to embrace the soothsayers , our great american dreamers , our own home - grown filmmakers and other artists who have the wonderful audacity to show us their truths .\nwhat is better than a date with a go - go boy ? your own personalized phone call message from drew droege ' s famous chloe sevigny impression ! ! nothing thrills us more than her long list of adjectives . you can mentioned some of the things about yourself and chloe will riff on you , or maybe you want to hear her talk about a specific topic . the possibilities are endless ! then we will send you your personalized , one of a kind greeting to you so you can have forever ! only 3 so act quick !\nbecause director dana perry and her cinematographer husband , hart , are filmmakers , the life of their first child together , evan , wasn\u2019t just recorded \u2014 it was recorded well . and they captured more than most parents might \u2014 even those moments in which evan seems a little \u201coff , \u201d as dana perry says . even as a young boy , evan had a matter - of - fact way of talking about death , and there were even instances of acting out suicide . depression plagued him all his life , as did a bipolar condition that demanded medication .\nour first child , a boy , had died unexpectedly ( crib death ) in the middle of the night . you can imagine our uneasiness when our next child , beth , became ill during the night . when her eyes began to roll back in her head we set out for the hospital . i had little interest in what the speed limit was that night , nor did i stop for traffic lights . in my mind , time was of the essence . the sooner we could get beth to the hospital , the better . any delay , at that moment , seemed to endanger her life .\nvariety noted that because of his parents ' occupations , they did a good job in recording his life , and produced an\nelegiac little gem\n. the philadelphia inquirer called it a\nremarkable , deeply unsettling documentary\n, scoring it 3 / 4 stars . [ 2 ] the movie blog criticised the production quality , but found that the film still\ncommunicated effectively and with a lot of emotion\n. si live suggested that the boy ' s story perhaps did not merit a documentary , but it was\nvaluable viewing\nin that it would educate people a little about mental illness . \u2014 source\nthere are several aspects of the film that raise concerns . most obviously , even by the time of the funeral evan ' s parents had decided to do something with it , because they asked friends to film it , despite the fact that his suicide note said he wanted a private funeral , and that he didn ' t want people from his school to know how he died . it ' s clear that filmmaking is in their blood , and is central to their own way of dealing with the world . further , it ' s not so clear that the wishes of a depressed boy who killed himself should be paramount ; funerals are for those still living .\nyou ' ll get to be an extra in season 2 ! we need lots of guys / girls for background this season for scenes that include a sexy pool party and the climax of the series which takes place at a dodgeball game . be a part of our show ! meet the cast and crew and possibly see yourself on screen !

go boy fan pack ( * description is above )\njairus had the implied promise of the lord jesus to come to his house and to heal ( or raise ) his daughter . along comes a woman , when jesus is in the process of dealing with jairus , and \u201csteals\u201d a blessing from god . in the process of her doing so , there is an agonizing delay , one which appears to be at the expense of jairus . for at least a short time it would seem ( or so it did to those who reported the girl\u2019s death to jairus ) that the woman\u2019s blessing cost the daughter of jairus her life . god seems to have been unnecessarily delayed , so that the woman is blessed at the expense of the ruler of the synagogue . and , worse yet , the woman was declared unclean by the law , so that she would have been thought to have had no right to approach or touch him . here is jairus , an apparently righteous , devout , and influential jewish leader , whose \u201cblessing\u201d is interrupted by an unclean woman , 162 whose healing was undeserved , on several counts .\nwhat was going wrong with her life ? she tells us she decided she did not want to go onto college , and she slept with her high school english teacher . a couple of years earlier , she took an overdose and had to have her stomach pumped . but apart from that we learn almost nothing about her family , friends , or her past . she mentions that one boy liked her so much that he remained in contact with her even while she was in hospital ; on one of her visits to him on leave from the hospital , he proposed to her , and she accepted . this comes as a total surprise to the reader . she mentions that the marriage did not last , and that she has since had a number of lovers . she decided to have no children . she wanted to be a writer , and she succeeded .\naaaand we\u2019re back . after a week off the airwaves , modern family returned last night true to form , with all three families making kooky , separate tracks over to manny\u2019s birthday dinner , while the birthday boy himself dealt with an early - life crisis . the agitation came from a joke jay dropped about manny\u2019s premature maturity , a riff so worn - out by now , i was happy to see the kid react to a dig at it . yes , manny , it is strange that you drink espresso and aspire to look like al capone ! investigate ! and so he did , or at least tried to , attempting all the things childish kids apparently do : ride a skateboard , float in a pool , mix different kinds of soda together ( am i the only one who missed this particular rite of passage ? ) , all with a very adult checklist sensibility .\nhis parents called children ' s because now , due to the efforts of a small but growing number of doctors around the world , something actually could be done about emerging puberty . the endocrinologist agreed that mother nature was revving up , preparing to take marty the way of trainer bras , tampax , and , as his parents and doctors predicted , increasing distress as his body developed into a sex that to him seemed a cruel trick of birth . the changes would make living as a boy impossible in the present , and he ' d potentially face scarring surgery to remove unwanted breasts down the road . what ' s more , the upsurge in estrogen would slow and stop his growth , making it harder for him to ever pass as a male . of course , that ' s if marty would end up living as a man . as boyish as marty is , no one could know for sure .\nstill , dana says , he expressed himself in\nlots of songs\nthat were\nvery sophisticated .\nshe goes on ,\nhe did not have a britney spears phase .\ninstead ,\nhe went straight to bob dylan , neil young , and nirvana .\nhere again , the film offers an alarming contrast : while nine - year - old evan plays guitar and sings about cutting himself in the neck (\ni ' m depressed , nothing less , curious , furious , / so somebody kill me please\n) , his younger brother michael ( who is not interviewed fro the film ) , plays on the floor beside him . the little boy rolls around with a bucket , tipping in and out of the scene . finally , he walks into the frame , standing directly in front of evan , and leans his body into him . evan completes his song , barely acknowledging michael ' s presence .\ntap here to turn on desktop notifications to get the news sent straight to you .\ni must admit at the outset that my burden in reviewing and analyzing a film has seldom felt quite so heavy . *\nevan ' s loved ones have no recourse but to cope imperfectly , admitting they will never be the same . but , too often , the choice of those suffering with intractable affective disorders ( spalding gray , primo levi , and seung - hui cho come to mind ) including major depressions , bipolar depressions , and bipolar disorder ( sometimes presenting with psychotic features ) choose suicide because extreme symptoms such as hopelessness , pointlessness , a gross lack of judgment , impulsivity , distorted perceptions , alienation , and excruciating despair are simply too overwhelming to endure .\nevan was as charming as he was exasperating , which are the hallmark signs and the paradoxes one experiences in dealing with bipolar individuals . he could be loving and extremely affectionate - - often curling up in his mother ' s loving arms - - only to turn around and frighten his devoted family and even his psychiatrist who remarks ,\nhe was the scariest kid i ever saw in my life .\nhis teachers marveled at his zest for life and his obsession with death contending with suicide attempts , one involving climbing to the roof of p . s . 11 in manhattan and threatening to jump . evan made numerous suicidal gestures and some homicidal threats . his parents would move heaven and earth in their search for answers and treatment that might save his life .\nevan loved bob dylan at an early age singing in a similar , quirky style marked by pathos and less - than - perfect pitch . he wrote lyrics and poetry that rivaled the moodiness of the late , kurt cobain , another kindred spirit . he would have run ins with the police and private sessions with a child psychiatrist ; receive a misdiagnosis of depression and go on prozac ; be hospitalized at a the private facility four winds where he was diagnosed with bipolar depression , take drugs such as depakote and later , lithium , a slightly less sedative , mood stabilizer .\nall were inadequate treatments with side effects and other cracks through which to fall . finally , through a treatment modality known as\nmilieu therapy ,\nexemplified by wellspring in bethlehem , ct , which evan ' s father describes as an\nexpensive alternative ,\nhe flourished . there , evan learned that actions have consequences and that boundaries are crucial for order and productivity . inner demons were exorcised by the healing properties of structure , assignments , and meaningful activities in which social , interpersonal , and therapeutic alliances with seasoned , caring professionals blossomed . this experience - - which few families can afford financially and many others may never hear of - - added years to evan ' s life and allowed him to be\nmainstreamed\nand enter york prep where he was less precocious - - having formerly existed in the world of old souls - - and became more open to peers .\nthe perry family has devoted itself to creating art ( evan ' s parents have directed and produced many documentaries ; his grandmother , beatrice , a sculptor also engaged an artist / friend to come to germantown , ny , from spain to create a sculpture than adorns the grave of her son , scott , in a creative process documented in the rest is silence by hart perry ) . the family and their friends offer the audience a gift by testifying so candidly about evan ' s life , which continues to puzzle and haunt them .\n* in additional to my membership in the women film critics circle and being able to write about film - - an art form that never ceases to enthrall me - - on the huffington post , critical women on film , and other sites and publications , i am also a member of the american association for psychoanalysis in clinical social work , a fellow of the new york state society of clinical social work , and maintain a psychotherapy practice in nyc . my roots , however , can be traced to internships in in - patient psychiatry at metropolitan hospital center , working with the chronically mentally ill in acute phases of illness , and at vvlp , working with vietnam war veterans .\ni spent 16 years in community and clinic - based psychiatry at st . luke ' s - roosevelt hospital center privileged to work with gifted and dedicated clinical social workers , nurse practitioners , creative arts therapists , psychologists , and psychiatrists treating the charming , exasperating , lovable , and irascible individuals diagnosed with and often ravaged by major depressive , bipolar , and schizophrenic disorders . i have witnessed and participated in the treatment of affective and psychotic disorders that were extraordinarily well managed , grossly mismanaged , and everything in between learning that a single clinician , no matter how experienced , cannot possibly successfully treat certain , special patients without a collaborating psychiatric nurse practitioner or psychiatrist and in some cases , an entire treatment team , day program , milieu therapy , and / or relationships with patients ' significant others .\ni feel a duty to comment , at least in this footnote , not just on this film ' s effectiveness as art , but on the social policies it might inform .\nthis film is released at a moment when health - and mental - health care is at a crossroads . just as education is no bargain ( nor should we expect it to be ) and remains public , government - funded at local , state , and federal levels , so too should our health - care system , which involves untangling the web of insurance companies and their often unfair practices , which have exploited individuals and made hospitals , clinics , and even some private practices operate more like poorly run factories rather than the caring , professional entities they ought to be .\nfirst - person essays , features , interviews and q & as ; about life today .\nwould you look at me differently if my son had died of cancer ? people come to the conclusion : it must be the parents ' fault . we are no different than anybody else . we did not torture our child . honestly , i ' m just a regular person . it happened to my family , to my mother in law ' s family . i go to the jed foundation and i see a thousand mothers who this has happened to , rooms full of survivors . this problem crosses geography , class - - and it is that much worse for people who are not educated , wealthy , and who are not flexible in their jobs , who do not have access to resources .\nthe question is not , did you do everything you could . the question is , where do you get the information . as advocates for a mentally ill child , hart ( dana ' s husband and production partner ) and i were dedicated . but , what do i do , and how do i get the information ? there ' s no manual . when evan was first diagnosed as bipolar in 2000 , i found one book . today , you ' ll see shelf after shelf . it ' s the new add . you see it on the cover of newsweek , a series in the new york times . we are now comfortable medicating our kids , maybe too comfortable . we are finding out , 50 % of college students have difficulties . and we are lucky . the tens of thousands of dollars we spent was worth it . horrible as our experience was , we could pay for wellspring where evan was in a class with two people and it cost $ 500 / day . he flourished and came to life . but no one can afford that . the question is , where are the resources ? now there are more . we did everything we could think of .\ni ' ve battled depression but i ' ve never experienced an ongoing wish to die . i can only appreciate it by observation . martine , hart ' s brother ' s fianc\u00e9 , says observing scott , he got into a hole and it is completely consuming . combine that with a kid ' s all - consuming self - consciousness and now distinguish the symptoms of bipolarity from the normal problems of a teenager or young adult - - they are already bipolar , lacking in judgment - - combine that with chemical imbalance , you ' ve got extremes that are already there magnified to unbearable extremes . so where is the line between normal and mentally ill ? do all kids rage for hours and have to be sat on ? the illness is powerful and you have to keep treating it .\nq : did you ever say to yourself , this is a phase ? he will grow out of it .\nwith evan , even at age 4 or 5 it was clear . we found out , bipolar people are very clever . he learned to tell us what we wanted to hear . if he said anything , if he displayed dangerous behavior , it was known in our family he would be hospitalized . he was very clever in hiding it . doctors told us we could keep him alive , but he would never be cured . we wondered , what are we going to do when he is out of our jurisdiction ? we often talked about how we might outlive him . at the time evan died we weren ' t thinking suicide anymore . he was doing well in school ; he was popular . most shocking to me was when he did it . we weren ' t expecting it .\nq : the film shows evan from the time of his birth . take me through the stages of making this film .\nwe never worked with hbo before . sheila nevins and nancy abraham offered good editorial and structural advice and emotional support . they could appreciate what i was trying to do : this is the mother ' s lament .\nthis is a movie one wishes one did not have to make . maybe it will break down walls , and stigmas about talking openly about mental illness , to free people to do so without shame . the film asks a lot of questions in a public fashion and stirs up discussion about why we as a society are ashamed about mental illness . educating people is a real challenge . and , education and treatment is the only suicide prevention . let ' s get the word out . we set up a website : urltoken\nuse of and / or registration on any portion of this site constitutes acceptance of our user agreement ( updated 5 / 25 / 18 ) and privacy policy and cookie statement ( updated 5 / 25 / 18 ) .\n\u00a9 2018 advance local media llc . all rights reserved ( about us ) . the material on this site may not be reproduced , distributed , transmitted , cached or otherwise used , except with the prior written permission of advance local .\ncommunity rules apply to all content you upload or otherwise submit to this site .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\ncheck out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy , the predator , zoe , and the king of thieves .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nunblinking and unsettling , this documentary lays bare a mysterious process that goes on all around us -

' '\nso you have unexplained developments like a character entering sachin tendulkar ' s building and driving off with his ferrari in broad daylight ; the one - of - its - kind ferrari roaming the streets of mumbai without the media or police taking note . and you have a man , whose son has gone missing , talking to the media instead of trying to find him .\nsumming up , the music album of ferrari ki sawaari is indeed a joyous ride ( like a visit to the theme park ferrari world ! ) that provides music patrons with a such wide variety of songs that is indeed quite rare these days . pritam proves why he is the numero uno as he has composed music that is very much in keeping with the script of the movie , yet the commercial constraints have been taken care of . in fact throughout the album it is difficult to imagine that it is the same composer who gave us race , dhoom series or innumerable sufi chartbusters ( especially for emraan hashmi ) . just shows his versatility and range . in fact one can even mistake it for a shatanu moitra album , and for that vidhu needs to be commended as well . all the songs are good and our picks are ,\nand had an advertising - related assignment for which i had to get super cars like lamborghini , rolls - royce and ferrari for a client who made hubcaps for expensive cars . i managed to get all the cars for the shoot except a ferrari . a friend told me about a ferrari parked at pali hill . i went to see the car , and stood outside the building looking at the car because the security guard would not let me in . i remember the thought that came to me then : \u201cwhat if i steal this car for a day ? what will happen ? \u201d\nplot : in this heart - warming tale of unconditional love between father and son , the pursuit of an indian cricketing legend\u2019s ferrari makes a young boy\u2019s dreams of playing cricket at lords a reality .\nindeed , the most fun portions of the film are when these characters are onscreen . babbu didi entering the men ' s loo to seal a business proposition or the watchman describes ferrari ' s engine as\nsharman joshi bears the underdog mantle in this film that tries mixing cricket , ferrari and the middle class dream as a saleable combo . he plays rustom , head clerk at the rto office and a widower .\nthis ferrari ride leads through a chaotic world of street - thugs and mass - weddings . meanwhile , another saga unfolds - a grumpy old man and his secret wounds , and an epic rivalry that goes back 50 years .\nmumbai , june 27 : filmmaker rajesh mapuskar , who is busy scripting his next film , a musical , says he will be heading to shillong to research for the project .\ni ' m scripting my next film , and it will be a musical film . a lot of research needs to be done and i ' m busy with that ,\nmapuskar , who helmed\nferrari ki sawaari\n, told ians .\ni ' ll be going to shillong for the research work , and then the first draft of the script will be ready ,\nhe added . mapuskar has clarified that it is not any biopic .\nit ' s an original script about music and dance , so i am putting together the story to form a full - fledged screenplay .\nthe .\na little boy thinks of nothing but cricket . rusy , his father , thinks of nothing but his little boy . to fulfill his son ' s dream of playing at lord ' s cricket ground , the honest and upright rusy performs the first small act of dishonesty in his life . he borrows a gleaming red ferrari for one hour . the trouble is , he doesn ' t inform its legendary owner . a wild , breathless , bumpy ride begins . a ride that leads to a menagerie of amazing characters : a wedding planner who ' ll stop at nothing , a laurel - and - hardy like pair of loyal attendants , a greedy politician and his reckless son , and a mechanic who specializes in stolen cars . as the ferrari zooms through this chaotic world of street - thugs and mass - weddings , another saga unfolds about a grumpy old man , his secret wounds , and an epic rivalry that goes back fifty years . a naive rusy must dodge bullets and bouncers for one unforgettable night , while playing the role of a perfect father . can he do it ? ferrari ki sawaari is a heartwarming story of small guys and their big dreams , and how one night changes their lives forever . fasten your seatbelts . the joyride awaits .\naudiences can now enjoy a free simulated ferrari ride sitting before a huge screen on car seats with a steering wheel . this ride is available at select cinemax chain of multiplexes upto the release of the film which is 15th june .\none can count the number of hindi films that are so genuine and have inherent honesty within them . ferrari ki sawaari is one such film . it tugs at your heartstrings , it urges you to scrutinize oneself , it makes you look at the world differently . how many motion pictures can boast of accomplishing all that ? uncomplicated and unpretentious in the truest sense of the word , it\u2019s a film that wins your heart because it\u2019s such a relevant and relatable story . rusy and kayo could be your friends , they could be your kids\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 who knows they could be a mirror image of yourself . besides , director rajesh mapuskar , who wields the megaphone for the first time , uses the expensive car more as a metaphor for conveying an ordinary man\u2019s larger - than - life dreams and does it so beautifully .\nmeanwhile , a local wedding planner babbi didi , is organising the wedding of a politician ' s son . she is frantically looking around for a ferrari to hire for the day - a unique demand by the spoilt child of a groom himself .\nmumbai , may 11 : actor sharman joshi , son - in - law of veteran actor prem chopra , says they bond really well .\ni am very close to him . he is a wonderful person and a fine actor with such a rich body of work ,\nsharman , who is married to prem chopra ' s daughter prerna , told ians .\nthere is so much to learn from him . we have spent so much time together that now me and my father - in - law are like friends . we bond well . we have a great rapport ,\nadded the 34 - year - old seen in films like\ngolmaal\n,\n3 idiots\nand\nferrari ki sawaari\n. prem chopra , 77 , is known for his roles as villain in\nbobby\n,\ndo anjaane\n,\npurab aur paschim\n, .\nveteran bollywood actor sharman joshi has proven his acting abilities to us time and again with brilliant roles in movies like 3 idiots , ferrari ki sawaari , life in a metro and rang de basanti etc . however , we as an audience can associate him most with his role in the comedy series golmaal . this time he is back again with another movie from the comedy genre \u2013 war chhod na yaar ! although he claims that his choice of movies is strictly based on the script of the movie , he has returned back to the comedy genre time and again . this can be proven by his association with each and every installment from the golmaal series , after every serious movie he has done . even though he has declined to be a part of golmaal returns , he is busy with his upcoming film , war chhod na yaar , the first war comedy movie of india . war\na little boy dreams of nothing but cricket and his doting dad can go to any extent to make his son ` s seemingly impossible dream come true . even if it means stealing tendulkar ` s red - hot ferrari for one day of his life .\nsharman joshi , who is riding high after the success of his film ferrari ki sawaari ( fks ) , is a very miffed man today . the reason ? well , he feels that the makers of the film 3 bachelors are trying to encash on the success of fks by releasing the film on july 6 this year , which is almost after 10 years of it being made ! sharman , who termed it as sheer opportunism , said that even though he has nothing against the makers of the film 3 bachelors , the fact that they have suddenly woken up now is what is bothering him . he also added that fks has created audiences ' goodwill and to capitalize on its success in this manner is not right . he is worried that the audience should not get an impression that this is his recent film . this take of sharman has apparently not gone down well with the makers of 3 bachelors , who are\nshe thinks rustom could use his household ' s ' cricketing connections ' to help her borrow sachin tendulkar ' s red ferrari - since it ' s the only one of its kind in mumbai - for the wedding of a goon - turned - politician ' s son .\nthe past few weeks were abuzz with rumours that sachin is doing a cameo in the film . the buzz was generated because sachin owns a red ferrari in real life , and the film has a car of the same make and colour besides cricket as its central themes .\nhis son has a dream of playing at lord ' s cricket ground . to fulfill his son ' s dream the honest father performs a small act of dishonesty for the first time in his life . he borrows a red ferrari for an hour but without informing it ' s legendary owner .\nrusy then gets a chance to make one - and - a - half lakh rupees by somehow arranging for cricketer sachin tendulkar\u2019s swanky ferrari car for a couple of hours , on the occasion of the marriage of a mumbai politician\u2019s son . although he thinks twice , rusy takes the bait when the opportunity presents itself .\na little boy thinks of nothing but cricket . his father , rusy , thinks of nothing but his little boy . to fulfil his son ' s dream of playing at lord ' s cricket ground , the honest and upright rusy performs the first small act of dishonesty in his life . he borrows a gleaming red ferrari . just for one hour . the on read more\nis a song which celebrates the arrival of the ferrari . and last but not the least , one is sure that vidya balan is bound to set the screens alight with her ' lavani ' , ' latkas ' and ' jhatkas ' , and the item number will surely provide the front benchers and single screen ' junta ' as well as all the fans of vidya a new thrilling experience .\na little boy thinks of nothing but cricket . his father , rusy , thinks of nothing but his little boy . to fulfill his son\u2019s dream of playing at lord\u2019s cricket ground , the honest and upright rusy performs the first small act of dishonesty in his life . he borrows a gleaming red ferrari . just for one hour . the only trouble - - he doesn\u2019t inform its legendary owner . a wild , breathless , bumpy ride begins .\na ride that leads to a host of amazing characters : a wedding planner who\u2019ll stop at nothing , a laurel - and - hardyesque pair of loyal attendants , a greedy politician and his reckless son , a mechanic who specializes in stolen cars\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 as the ferrari zooms through this chaotic world of street - thugs and mass - weddings , another saga unfolds : a grumpy old man [ boman irani ] , his secret wounds and an epic rivalry that goes back fifty years .\n. secondly it has been rendered by urmila dhangar , a famous and popular ' lavani ' singer who specializes in such numbers , and needless to add , she is just par excellent ! thirdly it ' s lyrics by guru thakur , which are in keeping with the spirit of the movie . they are cute , decent , humorous , never lewd or cheap or vulgar , and the name ferrari makes an appearance here as well ! in fact it appears from the promos that\nbut one has to admit it is the peripheral characters that are more interesting than the central . babbi didi ? the loud yet compassionate wedding arranger , the listless watchman of the tendulkar residence ( he feels a ferrari is about as impressive as a scooter as both have only two seats ) , the garage owner who explains how cars are taken apart in dramatic detail ( he has coffee mugs with his photo on it ) , and the chillingly corrupt head of the cricket association .\nof course . imagine a line producer getting a chance to direct a film about a father , his son , cricket and a ferrari with vinod chopra productions . it would not have been possible seven years ago . you know , i narrated this story to two producers between the filming of the two munna bhai s and after listening to the story , both asked : \u201c aur kuch hai kya ( is there anything else ) ? \u201d i hope they see the film now .\na young kid , kayo [ ritwik sahore ] , thinks of nothing but cricket . his father , rusy [ sharman joshi ] , thinks of nothing but his little boy . to fulfill his son\u2019s dream of playing at lord\u2019s cricket ground , the honest and upright rusy performs the first small act of dishonesty in his life . he borrows a gleaming red ferrari . just for one hour . the only trouble : he doesn\u2019t inform its legendary owner . a wild , breathless , bumpy ride begins .\nhowever , the second half fails to an extent because several scenes drag out unnecessarily and do not seem relevant to the main plot . the track of sachin tendulkar\u2019s servant and watchman searching for the ferrari is comic but drags on and irritates . the same applies for the track of the wedding of the mumbai politician\u2019s son . another problem with the narrative is that the scenes where kayo is shown playing cricket do not inspire the viewer or get him to applaud . emotional scenes are effective but don\u2019t make the viewer cry at any point .\nat first glance , this car should never even cross paths with the gentle little family at the center of the story . crotchety grandpa deboo ( boman irani ) never leaves the house , upright dad rustom is perfectly content on his law - abiding scooter , and moppety kayo does everything his father tells him , and that too with minimal grumbling . not should it , by any logic , become the literal vehicle of their happiness . on the surface , the ferrari is key to paying for kayo\u2019s cricket camp , but deeper down are very adult realities of lives that didn\u2019t go according to plan .\nwhile the little master\u2019s ferrari is really just a tool , a way to get somewhere , its significance to rustom and his family is greater even than the significance of little kayo setting foot on the green grass of lord\u2019s . like other cinematic cars , it represents making decisions ( though not always good ones ) , excitement and a journey . but as our heroes find out , not just anyone can control such powerful wheels . sometimes you\u2019re the driver , but sometimes other forces mow you down . it\u2019s only by applying what those journeys have taught you that you end up where you\u2019re supposed to be .\nwhen the 66 - year - old megastar left for his regular medical check - up in the us . however , there ' s substantial proof on social media that the actor is absolutely fine and is having a ball of a time overseas . on thursday , a video of rajinikanth began doing the rounds on social media , in which he can be seen enjoying a drive in a ferrari . this appears to be the thalaivar ' s first attempt at a selfie video as he can be seen asking his partner in the driving seat -\ni have to press the red button , right ? the video is rolling .\nrajinikanth never fails to delight , not even on social media .\na little boy , kayo ( ritvik sahore ) thinks of nothing but cricket . his father , rusy ( sharman joshi ) , thinks of nothing but his little boy . to fulfill his son ` s dream of playing at lords cricket ground , the honest and upright rusy takes a reckless step . he borrows a gleaming red ferrari , just for one hour . the only trouble - he doesnt inform the car ` s legendary owner , sachin tendulkar . a wild , breathless , bumpy ride begins . a naive rusy must dodge bullets and bouncers for one unforgettable night , and play the role of a perfect father . can he do it ? ferrarikisawaari is a fun - filled story of small guys and their big dreams and how these dreams turn into a mad comedy of errors .\nthere are films you want to like , but just stop short of enthusiastically recommending them .\n, with its innate charm , is a hearty film but sadly devoid of much logic .\nso suppose you suspend logic for a minute , or more likely for the entire length of the film - you ' re still left with a void .\nwe meet the father - son duo right in the beginning . rusi ( sharman joshi ) ,\nhead clerk , worli rto\nis single - parenting his child kayo ( ritvik sahore ) , a super - talented cricketer and captain of the school team . when kayo is presented with an opportunity to be a part of a worldwide training tournament , rusi is thrilled , but worried about the rs 1 . 5 lakh fee .\nthe central characters of the film are too simplistically written . perhaps rusi ' s character was meant to be that of a golden - hearted simpleton . but we see a guy with a nervous smile who ' s excited like a child about owning a mobile phone in today ' s day and age , and someone who believes a bank executive will grant him a loan , based on the trophies the child has won .\n' act gets on your nerves . but sharman joshi ' s natural likeability and earnestness saves the day somewhat .\nboman irani as the disillusioned former cricketer is superb . ritvik sahore ' s restrained performance is far ahead of his years .\non the downside , the film is repetitively manipulative . so we see rusi unable to buy sports shoes for his son , as he can ' t afford them . next we see the kid lose a crucial match due to broken shoes .\nthen again , as the climax begins , the granddad has to be hospitalised just as the kid goes missing . and we see a tv reporter asking a distraught parent ,\n.\nit ' s almost like the film is trying too hard for viewer to feel for the characters ' situation .\nalso , things are wrapped up too conveniently for us to feel the impact of the conflict . if the selection to the tournament is a problem , someone steps in to support ; if the fee is an issue , the money is arranged ; if the money gets misplaced , it is eventually retrieved ; if a character is dejected , we will ultimately see them have a turnaround and so on .\ndebut director rajesh mapuskar whips up a film that ' s dichotomous in nature . you have the fun portions with the father - son bonding , cricket , and comedy which the viewer is sure to enjoy . and then there ' s the emotionally manipulative part that seems at odds with the first .\nstill , the film is worth a watch for the former . it may be a bumpy ride , but you ' ll have fun along the way as well .\nit is tough to say who contributed more to it . ideating with both was like throwing dough at each other\u2014all three of us gave it the shape we wanted and then threw it back at each other for more inputs . but yes , raju and i have been friends for 22 years , and we look at life similarly . most of my thought processes match the way raju thinks .\nno . i never had this thought and even if people say it , that\u2019s fine .\nhow to write a scene that is really tight on paper . he said if you want to make a scene 5 minutes long on screen , then write only two pages of dialogues , which means 2 minutes . use the remaining time for the treatment of the scene . the tighter the scenes , the faster a film moves and the less time the audience has to think .\nyou felt sharman joshi would not suit the role . what did he do to convince you that he would ?\nsharman wanted to audition for the role right after he heard the script during the filming of 3 idiots . i thought he looked too young for it , even though he is a father in real life and his daughter is around eight years old . at the time he had lost a lot of weight to play a college boy . to convince me , he put on weight , thickened his eyebrows and spoke with a parsi accent .\ni come from a small village in raigad district but for holidays , i was sent to mumbai to stay with an aunt who lived in dadar parsi colony . i got acquainted with their music , their furniture and their way of living . for me , they were like foreigners who spoke gujarati and that fascinated me . when i was thinking about the car thief , i asked myself who would be so careful with a vehicle that was not their own\u2014and only a parsi came to mind . i love music and even before the script was decided , i had decided what kind of background music i wanted . i like the sound of the accordion and the harmonica , and those were going to be the instruments used . i couldn\u2019t relate this music to a maharashtrian or punjabi family set - up . it blends well with parsis .\nthe vision of munna bhai and its characters is raju\u2019s . at best , i am like a chacha ( uncle ) . sure , i love the film and the characters , but i am not as close to them as raju is .\nwell , yes . a lot of things that you see in rusy\u2019s character ( joshi ) are similar to my father and my relationship with him . the simplicity , lack of inhibition , honesty\u2014that\u2019s my father .\nseven - and - a - half years to write the first script\u2026 . hope you have the second one going .\nyes\u2026but it\u2019s raw . and it will be about music . maybe i will make a documentary on music next and then a film . or maybe make a musical .\nthe hindi film industry is going through realignment . the mood within the industry is that of experimentation and trialing and a lot is being done , with a wide variety of stories being explored . producer vidhu vinod chopra , first - time director rajesh mapuskar and writer rajkumar hirani choose an intelligible plot , garnish it well with humor and emotions , cast splendid actors and presto , a heart - warming tale of unconditional and unmitigated love between a father and his son is out for public consumption .\na naive rusy must dodge bullets and bouncers for one unforgettable night and play the role of a perfect father . can he do it ?\ni must highlight yet another important fact : sachin tendulkar has an intangible inhabitance in the movie all through . mapuskar , very smartly , keeps the suspense behind the cameo alive right till the finale .\npritam manages to dole out a decent album . the compositions are tuneful and mapuskar places the songs at the appropriate situations in the narrative . the cinematography [ sudheer palsane ] is luminous , while dialogue [ rajkumar hirani ] seem straight out of life .\nritwik sahore is a brilliant discovery . the youngster is cast opposite some of the finest talents of the country and the kid stands up to them in every sequence . he is charming and endearing in the light moments and sparks up the goings -

version details - trove\nrichard burton was set to play his character from the wild geese ( 1978 ) , allen faulkner , but died a few days before filming began . edward fox stepped in to play alex faulkner , the brother of the character played by burton .\nwild geese ii is a subtly different film from its predecessor . it is more of an espionage thriller than an action film . it really needs to be viewed on its own merit , rather than in a direct comparison to its predecessor . it touches on many aspects of mid - eighties world politics , some of which are still with us , while others have long vanished . certainly the power of global media corporations is still a relevant topic today . despite a preposterous premise and a rather stark production design , wild geese ii is a curious but entertaining film .\nthis is the second workshop in the poultry production for farm & family workshop series . the workshop series is designed for individuals wanting to explore chicken production for family use or diversification of farm products . training will be held at wild geese farm in rushford .\ni\u2019m afraid the substitution of fox for burton without rewriting the dialogue rather spoiled the film . wild geese had been fairly successful and those who saw it expected the sequel to be more of the same . sadly it didn\u2019t come up to expectations . but i had a good time .\nthe fortune of british film producer euan lloyds took a turn for the worst after the success of the wild geese in 1978 . both his subsequent movies the sea wolves and who dares wins were critical failures and subject to diminished box office returns . therefore wild geese ii was conceived in hope that a new addition to the franchise would prove financially successful and restore mr . lloyd\u2019s reputation as a top british producer . former bond director , peter hunt , was brought on board to oversee the proceedings , along with original star richard burton . the screenplay was again by reginald rose and soundtrack composed by roy budd .\nhaddad ( scott glenn ) and faulkner ( edward fox ) use uzi smgs in several scenes . uzi are also seen in hands of stroebling ' s henchmen . reed - henry ( kenneth haigh ) uses a suppressed uzi . uzi are also seen in footage from original the wild geese .\na new band of professional mercenaries smuggle nazi war criminal rudolf hess ( laurence olivier ) out of spandau prison in the guise of a drunken football hooligan so he can appear on american television . sequel to ` the wild geese ' ( 1978 ) . scott glenn , barbara carrera and edward fox star .\n: irish mercenary soldiers fighting in european armies throughout the late medieval and early modern periods were referred to as\nwild geese\n, the most well - known being an force of irish jacobites who became part of the french army following their defeat in the glorious revolution and the resultant treaty of limerick in 1691 . this makes the name doubly appropriate , for just as the original wild geese were landless and dispossessed , so is faulkner - the nature of his work means that he cannot return to britain and at the start of the film matheson has to pull some strings to smuggle him through passport control .\nupon release wild geese ii was a box office failure . the story about a plot to rescue rudolph hess from spandau prison was intriguing but poorly executed . the casting of laurence olivier as hess was a bold idea but doesn\u2019t quite work . the action scenes are shot in a very unflattering style and seem very hastily assembled . the contrast between principle photography and second unit direction is quite noticeable , clearly indicating that the film had a troubled production . yet despite such flaws it is not devoid of any redeeming qualities . wild geese ii serves as an interesting\nsnapshot\nof the cold war and a partitioned berlin . it also features british actor , derek thompson , coming to yet another unpleasant cinematic end .\nafter the success of the wild geese ( 1978 ) , author daniel carney was asked by producer euan lloyd to write a sequel . carney originally refused , as he could not think up a storyline , until lloyd gave him one , this film ' s concept , the kidnapping of rudolph hess from spandau prison .\nthe original wild geese was a cinematic classic . this was rather unfortunately named wild geese ii - that was its first mistake . the original had an all star cast , part ii had only a few . however , if you view this film without trying to make comparisons to the original , you end up with a thoroughly good romp through the very pretty city of berlin . scott glen is excellent as the mercenary who has a price on his head , edward fox is also good though he has done better . the main plot is to get hess out of spandau prison . everything appears to be going well . in a well executed plan all seems to go well until the end . . . . . watch and see ! ! !\nthe resulting battle went poorly for the wild geese - most of them were killed by zorin and her minions . pip found himself barricaded in the conference room with a few of his men , spending most of his time fortifying their position and bolstering their faltering morale in the face of overwhelming odds and low ammunition . when zorin ' s troops attacked the wild geese ' s barricade with a panzerfaust , pip was wounded by wooden shrapnel that hit him in the stomach . luckily , seras arrived to destroy zorin ' s troops before they could finish off the few surviving mercenaries , prompting pip to confidently declare that the tide had turned back in their favor .\nit was some years later that i realised that codename : wild geese starring lewis collins , lee van cleef , klaus kinski and ernest borgnine was an imposter in the midst , a macaroni combat film ( ie a war movie made in italy to the same standards of their spaghetti westerns ) that had no official link to the original .\npip ( along with the rest of the wild geese ) primarily uses an ak - 74 assault rifle as well as a colt single action army revolver . although having no supernatural powers , he does have experience from warfare and skills with firearms and military tactics . it also seems that his cigarette lighter doubles as a detonator , for c4 charges .\nthis was also the name occasionally used for his men by mercenary colonel\nmad\nmike hoare , who battled communist rebels in the congo and attempted to overthrow the government of the seychelles , among other exploits . he was a fervent admirer of the original\nwild geese\nwho served in france . he also worked as a technical advisor on the film .\nthe wild geese were hired by walter dornez at the end of volume 2 as replacements for the soldiers killed during the valentine brothers ' invasion of hellsing manor . when integra introduced seras victoria as an example of a vampire , pip laughed her off , mockingly claiming that if she was a vampire then he was\nfrankenstein ' s monster\nas he advanced on the former policewoman .\nurltoken wild geese 2 [ vhs ] : scott glenn , barbara carrera , edward fox , laurence olivier , robert webber , robert freitag , kenneth haigh , stratford johns , derek thompson , paul antrim , john terry , ingrid pitt , michael reed , peter r . hunt , keith palmer , a . eric scotoni , chris chrisafis , euan lloyd , daniel carney , reginald rose : movies & tv\nimplausible , reactionary adventure tale dedicated to richard burton , who starred in the first wild geese seven years before and was supposed to star in this one . edward fox , a last -

thus , their best hope was to whittle the millennium forces down from afar . unfortunately , zorin used an illusion to distract the defenders , including pip himself . by the time seras managed to dispel the illusion , zorin ' s forces had bypassed the minefield ( by throwing a line of knives into the ground and hopping across their hilts ) and breached hellsing manor .\nhe quickly regretted his skepticism when seras nearly broke his neck by flicking him in the face with her index finger , also demonstrating supernatural speed while delivering several follow - up flicks . the demonstration was further enhanced when seras ' master , alucard , entered the room by phasing through the wall . now fully convinced of the existence of vampires , pip and the rest of the wild geese began training with seras at the shooting range outside hellsing manor .\n: the villainous matheson is killed in the denouement , but it ' s less a rousing final cheer than a last bitter gasp . limbani is dead , and so are most of the wild geese , including many of faulkner ' s friends - their mission achieving nothing . the final scene of the film involves faulkner meeting emile ; faulkner promised his father janders that he would adopt the boy if the latter was killed ( as he is , by faulkner himself -
